a/n: ughhh this ask is so cute and now i just want to write luke’s bit as a full oneshot except for the fact i have no clue where mc’s parents are lmao
artem wing.
👌 this close to a mental breakdown
when you first bring up the topic of meeting your parents, artem practically freezes like a deer in the headlights
he agrees, of course. he wants to meet your parents, introduce himself properly as your boyfriend, and form a good impression on them so that he can have their blessings for your future marriage relationship
alas, artem can’t help but prepare for the worst: it’s his job as a lawyer, after all
he knows he’s bad at emotions, that he probably doesn’t seem like the romantic type, that he’s rather stiff and awkward at times, so he tries to prepare in other ways
“what are your parents like? is there anything they like? anything they don’t? how should i act around them?” and a hundred more questions that you swear are getting more and more ridiculous with each passing minute
he’s even writing a speech for how he should introduce himself to them, and you can’t help but laugh at the absurdity of the situation and just how hard he’s trying
you have to calm him down, and reassure him that your parents are definitely going to love him - he doesn’t need to worry so much
your words do ease his worries slightly
on the day itself, artem looks calm on the outside as he’s driving the two of you over to your house, but is definitely panicking on the inside
the second he walks through the front door behind you, however, your parents are already fawning all over him, asking him about the law firm, his job, etc.
artem is clearly at a loss to do with all this attention, looking stiff as a board, but he tries to answer all the questions as honestly and earnestly as possible
during dinner, artem takes out a tupperware of general tso’s chicken that he’s cooked himself and shyly offers it to your parents
after a bite, you swear your parents are ready to propose to him on your behalf when they learn that he’s the one who cooked such a delicacy
dinner becomes a much more relaxed affair after that, and you even see artem cracking a hint of a smile or two as your father regales him with embarrassing stories of you as a kid
he offers to help your mother with the dishes after dinner, a few moments later you can hear your mother chattering to him excitedly about new recipes and the latest kitchen gadgets she’s seen on television. after a while, artem’s steady voice joins in as he contributes his own two cents to the conversation
with a smile, you decide to leave them be for a while longer
vyn richter.
completely unfazed
this man doesn’t even bat an eyelid when you mention bringing him to visit your parents for the first time
“oh? that sounds lovely,” he leans down to press a gentle kiss to your temple. “when would you like to see them? i’ll bring along a gift.”
in direct contrast to artem, it’s your parents who are nervous at the thought of meeting vyn after you give them a brief rundown of who he is
on the day itself, vyn comes over with a bouquet of fresh white lilies in one arm, which he graciously gives to your mother
everything from his mannerisms to his dressing to the soft, diginified tone of his speech is the embodiment of the perfect gentleman
this is only futher amplified when he pulls out a few ornate boxes of expensive floral tea leaves as a gift, offering them to your parents as they boost health and promote vitality
(you google the brand a few minutes later in the bathroom, and one glance at the price tag is enough to make your wallet cry fat tears)
feeling bad, your parents try to turn down the gift by saying that they don’t know how to properly brew and appreciate the tea
and vyn just. teaches them on the spot, asking for a kettle and teaching them step by step how to do it
perhaps it’s that hypnotising voice of his, but after that little tea demonstration, your parents are practically eating out of the palm of his hand
completely baffled, you just sit there and wonder how he’s basically become the perfect son-in-law in under an hour
when your parents see the two of you off after dinner, they’re already asking him for a list of his favourite foods, when he’d next like to visit, and how many children he’d like to have in the future (mom!)
“i haven’t been that nervous for a while now,” vyn admits as the two of you walk down the street together, arms interlinked. when you glance up at him with wide eyes, he lets out a quiet laugh. “is it truly that surprising?”
he’d just seemed so composed, so effortlessly charismatic earlier, and you tell him so
“they are your parents. they mean a lot to you, so i too, naturally… want them to think well of me as well.” he gives you a smile that has your heart skipping a beat. “they are entrusting me with the treasure that is you, after all.”

No matter how busy work had been at the firm, Artem never once made you feel neglected during the whole course of your pregnancy
He would check on you after every hour whenever he's at work, asking you what you're feeling, or if there were sudden signs that signal your labor
At this point he might as well not be bothering with paperworks with how his thoughts always fly to you and your well-being
Especially now that you're nearing your due date
He was so worried that he issued you a maternity leave even if you're being stubborn about it, he can't risk any danger when it comes you and the child
A week before your child is due, he also took a leave to keep an eye on his soon-to-be family. He doesn't want you to do anything on your own, always doting on you every step of the way
He's been making sure that everything would go smoothly. So, what could go wrong?
Artem gently placed the side of his head on your belly, feeling the little guy's kicks that's currently causing the ache on your abdomen as the rays of sunlight coming through the window kissed his blithe features. The soft breeze of the wind hits your face with a lighthearted caress, in contrast to the painful contractions that had gradually showed itself since last week.
"Are you feeling a little better?" He gazed at your eyes, searching for any signs of discomfort.
You flashed a languid smile, "It throbs harder everyday, but I can manage," You rubbed your hand on your belly, the other smoothing Artem's hair, "He keeps getter bigger," You chuckled, "We'll meet him soon."
Artem lifted his head up and beamed beside you on the bed, "Yes, soon. I'm excited as you are, love," He placed his hand on the back of your head to pull you closer, "I can't wait to raise this family with you. I promise to be the best husband and dad you two could ever ask for." He murmured on your hair, as he took a breath to take in your scent, "I wonder who he'll look like?"
You were about to coo at him when you felt something burst on your nether regions, "Artem!" you felt a gush of water and a trickle of blood down your legs, wetting the sheets beneath you, "The sac has ruptured," You panted rapidly, the sharp ache on your back intensifying, "Ah!" you yelped, the contractions keep tightening on your stomach.
Realization hit you when your eyes saw red staining the bed, "Artem, Why is there blood? Isn't this supposed to be just water?" You panicked as you clung to Artem. Your eyes widened as disheartening thoughts fill your head, What will happen to the baby?
With precise movements to not hurt you any further, Artem lifted you up, his arms on your shoulder and at the back of your knee, "It's going to be alright, Y/N. Let's get you to the hospital." He reassured you even when you can see panic dancing full-circle in his cerulean eyes. He's terrified.
The trip to the hospital in Artem's car was full of comforting whispers and words of reassurance, he didn't know if it was effective, because he was too focused on keeping his calm and to remain logical. He then called the hospital's number so they can immediately attend to you once you arrived.
As soon as Artem stepped foot inside the hospital he quickly alerted the nurses about your situation, they hurriedly complied and immediately set you up on the delivery room.
While all of these are taking place, you can't shake up the thought that's wallowing in your head, Is my son okay? You can't even ask these words out loud, the contractions in your uterus is too excruciating to bear, eliciting a wail from you every minute or so. Artem squeezing your hands for comfort the whole time.
After some moments, the doctor was finished assessing your situation. With gritted teeth, he announced to everyone in the room in full volume, "Cesarean section. Everyone gather up!" Upon hearing this, the nurses became even more alert as they hurriedly went on to get instruments that you barely recognize.
Artem perked up from the doctors words. Cesarean? Then he sked the question that's been eating up both your sanity, "What's wrong?" His brows furrowed, "Will they be alright?"
As he anxiously waits for the doctor's response, the nurses kept murmuring alerted words to each other, implying that what had happened to you isn't normal, stressing Artem out even more.
"Sir, let's take this outside. We're going to perform a surgery, it's preferable for you to be in the lobby."
Artem casted a look towards your worn out body, eyes completely showing panic, yet he complied and went outside.
"Sir," The doctor called firmly, "It appeared as though her placenta had been seperated from her uterus. This is called placental abruption, and may cause shock if left untreated." The doctor calmly replied as the nurses kept moving in a speed Artem didn't know possible.
What?
His blood ran cold.
"Are you..." He trailed off, "Are you saying she'll die?" Artem's words came flying out of his mouth before he could even think. His blue orbs gaping at your pale form in great devastation through the room's window, his voice cracking.
"No- sir. I'm saying that's a possibility."
"She's still bleeding so much..." Running his hands on his hair, he gaped at red pooling under your form in horror. Everything is red. Your once clean clothes are now bathed in your own blood.
"Yes, we will perform transfusions to prevent blood loss and greater complications. Please calm down, sir. I need to go now."
Alright. Calm down. Artem closed his eyelids, and took a deep breath, Your wife and son might die in front of your eyes, but calm down. Trust the professionals. He tried to convince himself, but the red surrounding you not leaving his mind.
"Please. Please save her." He begs with a crack in his voice, eyes distressed as the situation crashed down on him like a ton of bricks, with trembling hands he whispered, "I love them than my own life." He clenched his chest with his hand, he could kneel right now if he has to. "I don't think I can take it if i ever lose one, or both of them."
The doctor turned to open the door, "Will do, sir." Those words did nothing to ease the grief that's piling up in Artem's heart. His wife and his son, the two people he swore to protect, seems so far away.
His angel hasn't even been born yet. Artem felt hopeless as he leaned on the wall, mind racing. You could die and all he can do is watch. And wait. Wait until he hears either the news of the surgery's success or your impending death.
Head in hands, Artem waited. Eyes staring blankly on the floor.
His sense of reality is slipping away by the moment. Yet he knows he needs to remain strong for his family's sake. He's the father, after all.
So he kept waiting. Without letting the dam break, he waited.
What had gone wrong? He kept pulling out his hair, Am I not cautious enough? He let out a huff as he kept tapping his foot in exasperation.
The hours ticked, the hues of the sky began to change, people began coming back and forth, and he still waited.
After for what seemed like eternity, the door opened.
Faster than lightning, Artem stood before the doctor and desperately searched their face for signs if you had lived or not, "How is the operation?" voice raspy from the lump in his troat, Artem swallowed in anticipation.
"Sir," The doctor grinned, and Artem felt hope spark like fireworks in his whole being, "They're both alive and well."
His once sullen eyes soften, and a smile of relief washes over him in waves, "I owe you their life." He was truly thankful. You and his child are alive. He can be at peace now.
"No need sir, it's part of my job," The doctor then gestured inside, "you can come in now. I'm sure you're the one they need the most."
They. Artem's eyes lit up at the word.
Artem peeked at the door, his eyes meeting your exhausted ones, an IV line attached to you, giving you life, "Look, Artem..." you were holding the baby to your chest, even amidst your tired disposition, you smiled with fondness at the newborn.
Seeing this sight made Artem's heart swell beautifully, "Love of my life," he made his way to your side and gently kissed your forehead, you felt his utter relief and sweetness in his warm kiss alone, "I'm so glad the two of you are alive." He smiled as he sat at the chair just beside your bed.
"You should rest," The doctor intercepted, "You can let your husband carry your son in the meantime."
"Of course," You beamed as you handed Artem the little bundle of joy, "Artem, our baby," You grinned so wide your cheeks were going to burst, "I'm just so happy right now, I," You can't control the emotions washing over you when you realized that this is it, a family with Artem, "I love you so much Artem." You gazed at him, eyes beginning to feel droppy, you reached out to his face to rub circles on his cheeks.
"Stay with me forever?" You blurted out in the heat of the moment, but you didn't mind. You truly wanted to stay forever with Artem.
From your words, Artem felt tears pooling his eyes. He's not an emotional person per se, he never was - but from what had happened, he can't help but to cherish this moment.
What did he do to deserve you? "You didn't have to ask. I'll stay with you forever no matter what." As he said those words, your eyelids started to get heavy, a peaceful slumber dawning on you.
"She lost 4 liters of blood." The doctor declared as he adjusted the instruments around you.
Artem's eyes were as wide as saucers.
WHAT THE FUCK?
Now Artem isn't one to curse - but hearing straight from the doctor's mouth how much you suffered, he couldn't stop himself from feeling so helpless.
You struggled alone back there.
In his eyes, you're the bravest person in the world right now. More than pity, more than the sorrow he feels, he admires you.
You had always been admirable.
"I love you... I love you so much my love..." As he watched your unconscious body breath in and out, clearly showing signs of life.
Knowing that he can feel your warmth, that he can feel that you're still here with him when he thought you would slip away, he felt like the luckiest man in the world.
He let the tears he had been holding back for so long spill out to his cheeks as he looked at his little angel, his beloved child, in his arms. His eyes traveled the baby's face, seeing your sacrifices in the delicate features.
"I'm so glad..." He's going to make sure to show all of his love possible to his child, as he kissed his forehead filled with promises of the future.
He's the happiest guy on earth when he first heard that you were pregnant
HE'S GOING TO BE A DAD!?!?
WAIT AND THEY'RE TWINS!?!?
LITTLE WATSONS ARE GOING TO BE RUNNING AROUND REAL SOON!?!?
This is a VERY important event for him
Naturally he's going to be extra caring of you, well, he has always been a caring person but he's taking it to another level rn
He even began learning to cook more healthy food for you! He'll really do anything for you and the baby
Even if his time is short, he wants to do everything he can for you to make it count
"I'm gonna live my life like everyday's the last" type of shi :(((
He has loved you all his life and always will. even in his remaining days, he would still pour all of that love to you, unchanging
The both of you are trying your best, and he knows he's being overprotective so he didn't think that something so life-threatening would happen to you and his lil watsons
You woke up in cold sweat as the dim light of the room filled your vision, your body feels like it's burning up. Hands instinctively flying to your forehead, you grimaced at the sudden spike of heat. You have a fever.
While pregnant.
Your mind reeled, it was almost your due date, what are the chances of having a fever almost before labor? Despite your increasing worry, and the throbbing headache that makes you just want to lay in bed, you still have half the mind to take care of yourself.
Even with weakened arms, you managed to push yourself up the bed, groaning at the increasing pounding in your head.
You tilted your head to the side to be met by a dozing Luke. His ginger locks were sprawled on his pillow, soft snores emanating from his parted lips, his shirt hiked up high enough to reveal his muscled stomach as he slept like a log.
You find yourself giggling through the various pains you feel throughout your body. He just looks so adorable.
After a few moments, you helped yourself up off the bed, careful not to make extra movements as not to wake Luke. He had been working on a lot of cases lately, you didn't want to disturb his awaited rest.
Your wandering feet made it's way to the kitchen, the cold floor hitting your heated skin. You walk with wobbly steps, almost stumbling if not for the support of the walls your hands had found it's way to, the baby bump kept giving you contractions, adding to the flames of pain that your head permeated.
You got yourself a glass of water, the liquid felt a little dry on your mouth, you were so thirsty.
Halfway through the drink, you felt a particular sharp pain on your abdomen that shook your entire core, "AHHHHHH!" You lost your grip on the glass, it's broken pieces now scattered across the floor.
"Y/N!" as soon as your scream evaporated in the air, you saw Luke rushing towards you like his life depended on it. Bed hair and all, fast reflexes hauled you into an embrace, his eyes scanned your body for any injuries, hues widening when he felt your heat on his bare arms, "Shit, you have a fever," He tugged at your arm gently, "we should get you checked up."
You followed him in a haze, "I'm worried luke," You cringed, the pain coming in shorter intervals, "I'm not suposed to have a fever. What if this affects the baby? Luke, we could lose them! "
"Shhhh," He cupped your cheeks and placed a chaste kiss on your lips, "Relax, love. I'll make sure you're safe alright? The three of you." With furrowed browns, and a stern expression that contradicted his words, he began carrying you bridal style.
When you got to the hospital Luke was all shouting, amidst the excruciating pain that your whole body is feeling you heard him scream a "Please help us!"
As if on cue, almost every nurse present in the lobby dropped what they were doing and rushed to get a stretcher to guide you to the delivery room.
"I have a fever." You immediately choked out as soon as the doctor arrived in the room. The nurses looked at each other. Realizing your situation, the doctor quickly ordered the nurses to turn on the ultrasound to examine what had gone wrong.
After some minutes, the doctor's brows furrowed before her eyes widened in apprehension, "Set up FHR monitoring, now!" Her voice echoed loudly throughout the four corners of the room, making everyone move at a speed you could only pinpoint as alarmed, "This is a fetal distress case, everyone be alert! " Some of the nurses' heads turned to the monitor, upon seeing what's happening inside you, they let out a troubled gasp.
Luke was bewildered, the nurses were all shuffling in frenzy, screams spilling out of their mouths as they ordered the other what to do.
Luke swallowed the lump in his throat, the atmosphere screamed of danger and seriousness, it was making his heart dishearted with every beat.
"Sir, we need you to go outside. An operation is about to commence." A nurse suddenly said from beside him. "I'll explain the situation outside."
Luke casted a glance on your weakened state, your breathing rapid as you pant, you were clutching on your stomach as you hiss in pain every now and then. "Y/N. You'll be alright." He cupped the side of your face, "You're strong." You smiled at his words, and that's all he needed to see before leaving you to go outside.
"So," Luke crossed his arms, unspoken panic in his eyes, "What happened?"
The nurse looked at him straight in the eyes as she declared, "The monitor showed us what was happening to your children inside, the umbilical cords were wrapped around their necks. This might cause asphyxia, they could be pronounced as stillbirth from suffocation."
His crossed arms began to loosen, falling to his sides limply, "What?" He gaped. They could what?
"Both the mother and child are at dangerous risk." She pressed her lips tightly, "They could lose their lives."
What?
The doctor's words reached his ears with a pang, he suddenly can't speak, it felt like someone had stabbed him in the back.
All he felt at that moment was cold.
He was silent for a few moments, eyes cast down, shadows hovering his face, his eyes began to water but he held everything back in with a sniffle, pressing the bridge of his nose with his fingers.
"Then," He choked out, fighting back a sob, "Can you save them? The three of them?" His lips trembled as a heavy lump formed in his throat, unable to swallow it, he forced his words out of his blocked windpipe, "My most precious people? "
"You can count on us," The nurse gave him an encouraging smile, "We will perform a cesarean section so the babies can be safely let out to breath," She turned to get back to the delivery room, "We ask for your patience, sir. Be strong for your wife."
Still sniffling, he replied with a forced smile, "Of course." He says that, but no one knows how much he wanted to break down right now. The thought of you and your children dying first before him never crossed his mind before.
But now that the situation presented itself before him, he can't help but laugh.
So this is how it feels when you're about to lose a loved one, huh.
Realizing what he just thought, he quickly slapped his cheeks, They won't die. Y/N is strong. Stronger than I give her credit for.
He knows he should have faith, but the unknown just scares him so much. He thinks about your eyes filled with light. Alive. Shining brightly at him when he needs it the most.
But now, as his mind flashed images of your bedridden form, the possibily of life leaving your body filled his senses. You laying there cold, you laying there dead. Along with his beloved children.
He can't take it.
He just sat there as the quiet midnight hours pass by, the eerie and dead silence of the night adding up to his cruel thoughts, as he gritted on his fingernails.
He can hear the panicked shouting of the doctors inside the room, he can't help but to think what you're feeling right now. Is it painful? Can you bear it?
He just wants to carry your burdens, if only he's the one who could experience this, it wouldn't be so bad. As long as you weren't hurting, that's always enough for him. You're the one he had always longed to have a future with, please do not take this away from me.
He silently wished for your well-being the whole time he was waiting. After for what seemed like an eternity, the doctor finally came out, her lips turned up in a smile, "Operation success, Sir. You can go inside now."
Luke's expression turned into a 180, from sullen eyes to smile as bright as the sun, with blush coating his cheeks he said enthusiastically, "Thank you so much, doc!"
Like a child, he marched up to you, almost enveloping you in a bone-crushing hug, but he stopped himself when he realized it'll do more harm than good.
As he sat on the chair beside your bed, he can't help but praise you for being so strong, "You did well, my watson." He rubbed sooting circles on your cheeks, making you smile.
"I was scared," you confessed, "I saw how the umbilical cords were wrapped on our babies' necks." You looked at Luke with shaking eyes, "I thought it was all over for me."
"Hey," Luke gave you a peck on the cheeks, "I'm here. I won't leave you alone to deal with all of this." He then moved his warm lips to yours and pressed a firm kiss, "Your burden is my burden. Let's be strong together for our children, Y/N." You smiled as you pecked him on the lips back.
"Here they are! Little cuties!" Two nurses approached the two of you, your bundle of joys in hand.
"This one's the boy," The nurse handed him to Luke, "This one's the girl." You wrapped your arms around your baby in a warm embrace, forgetting all the pain that you fekt earlier when you saw thei faces.
"Whoa!" Luke blushed as he cradled mini Luke in his strong arms, "He's so cuuuute!" Luke gushed with sparkle in his eyes as he started humming a song for the baby, "I know you'll be handsome, but please don't be a heartbreaker one day!" Luke made a stern face on the innocent boy, making you chuckle with delight.
Not for long, the two of you decided to swap the babies you're carrying, the little girl now in Luke's arms.
"Y/N. You resemble her." He beamed at you, "She's so cuuuute!" He gushed again and you let out a snort. Looking at him, your minds drift to the distant future filled with moments like these.
Luke continued cradling the baby with tenderness, "This is the best day of-"
"Luke, I love you so much." You suddenly blurted out, "You're my other half, I don't know what I'd do without you. Thank you for always being here." You gazed at him lovingly, "I love you so much..."
Heat flared his cheeks but he mirrored your expression, "Y/N, I love you too. I will do everything I can to protect you. I'll even risk my life if I had to!"
"Please don't. I want you to be alive and happy." You turned to the baby in your arms, taking in his features.
Luke smiled bitterly as he watched the lighthearted scene before him, alive and happy, huh?
I'm sorry Y/N. You'll be heartbroken. He knows it.
Brushing off the negative thoughts, he went on the cherish this moment right here, right now, without worrying about the future.
How will they react if you spontaneously say “i love you” to them?
Characters Included: Artem Wing, Luke Pearce, Marius von Hagen & Vyn Richter + GN! Reader
Notes: sorry if Vyn’s part feel rushed hehe… originally for genshin but decided to do it for tot instead. Hope ya’ll like this!
Warning: fluffiness
Artem Wing
Rosy cheeks and eyes wide with his mouth ajar (👁👄👁). He stares at you with a flustered face, totally caught off guard when you uttered those three words. But he can’t deny how his heart fluttered when he heard them.
“… I-I’m sorry-?” His voice cracked a bit, shock laced in his voice as he coughed to cover up his embarrassment. He was just telling you about the movie he watched last weekend when you suddenly said those three words, completely losing his composure the second his brain registered what you just said.
“I said I love you, Artem.” You smiled at him, flashing your teeth to him, making you look so innocent in his eyes. Too bad that ‘innocence’ could also be deadly. At least for his heart. When you uttered those words again, his heart skipped a beat once again. He can’t help but let out a smile at that, his hand still covering his mouth but you can see the wrinkle in the corner of his eyes indicating that he’s smiling.
“I-I love you too. But please don’t say that so suddenly… it’s not good… for my heart.”
Luke Pearce
Eyes widened at your sudden exclamation of your love to him before his eyes sparkle with adoration and childish glint, and a goofy smile overtakes his face. No matter how serious or dire the situation is, hearing you say those three words are a reassurance to him that you love him still.
“Wha- you cannot say that so suddenly!” Even though he say that, it does little to cover up how happy he is. If Luke has a tail, it would be wagging back and forth fiercely. It was hard to believe that this was the same boy who was hacking in the Big Data Lab again with a serious face. He tried to fake an annoyed face but gets overridden by his joyful smile.
Eyes glinting underneath the LED lights in your apartment, shining adoringly at you with his smile directed at you. He grabs you by your arm and pulled you to his chest, cushioning your fall. He then press kisses all over your face, soaking in the laughs you let out every time he attacks you with his kisses.
“That attack wasn’t fair at all! You should’ve given me a warning beforehand… hehe. I love you too, my Watson.”
Marius von Hagen
A mixture of Artem and Luke. When you uttered those words, he was caught off-guard. His eyes wide and a faint hue of pink in his cheeks as he stood still, the object he’s holding falling to the ground in the process making him snap out of his trance at the ‘thud’ sound. Before going back to his cocky self.
“Oh? Finally realizing you’re in love with this devilishly handsome young man?” Rolling your eyes playfully at him, you tossed an erased at him which he easily caught. Just mere seconds ago, you’ve gotten himself in a flustered state (which you prided yourself for). But then he quickly reverted back to his prideful and cocky self again. So your celebration only lasted for seconds.
“You know what? I take back my words.” You said, flashing him a forced tight smile as you stood up and make your way out of his art room. Just as you were about to reach the door, a hand grabs your wrist and pulled you back. Holding you tightly by the waist when you land on his chest, gazing into your eyes with a playful glint in his eyes. But even though he has a cocky smile plastered across his (handsome) face, you can see the adoration behind the playfulness he displays.
“Ah ah ah. You can’t take back those words once you said them, don’t you know that? No take backs, no refunds either. I also love you very much.”
Vyn Richter
For the first time in his life, he got flustered. He didn’t expect you to suddenly proclaim your love to him so suddenly, catching him by surprise. But it won’t show on his face very much, his eyes will wide a fraction before letting out a sigh and a smile.
“You’re really are full of surprises, love.” He muses, glancing at you from the document he’s reading with a smile evident on his face. He watches you giggle to yourself while he shakes his head. Closing his folder, mentally taking note to review it later after entertaining his ‘guest’. He makes his way to your sitting form and crouches in front of you, taking your hand to his and place a kiss on top of your knuckles.
You smiled at him before bending down to place a kiss on his forehead. “I love you, Dr. Richter.” You whispered to him once more. His heart beat rapidly in his chest as he feels himself overheating from the love you convey to him. Staring at your eyes, eyes flickering from it to your lips before leaning in and placing a kiss on them.
“I love you too, my dearest. Always. Maybe, possibly even forever. I’ll always remind you of that everyday as well. Maybe even surprising you for my revenge fufu.”

Marius Von Hagen
"my, my, Y/N. feeling bold today?"
he would treat it as a challenge
at first he'll be in awe because oh you're asserting dominance? nobody would ever dare try something like this on him
kabedoning the pax heir? sounds like a fever dream to many
would be wide-eyed and blushy for 5 seconds before he's back to his mischievous and flirty self
i repeat, only 5 seconds
when his initial surprise is gone, he would tease you relentlessly, "Oh, you want me so bad?"
of course, you're going to have to silence his mocking and teasing with your advances
just a warning though, he'll flirt back harder
Today is a good day.
The perfect day actually, to give Marius Von Hagen payback for his teasing remarks and fleeting touches that had left you hot and bothered - no matter how hard you try to deny it.
You were left with nothing but the phantom feeling of his warm and slender hands touching your bare skin. How his hot breath blew and tickled the hairs on the back of your neck as his hand held yours above the smooth canvas to help you brush the paint properly - how you had felt the heat of his muscular form pressing against your back, and his other hand resting on your hips while he was guiding you. You hadn't missed the way he rubbed circles on your hips as he was doing so, of course.
You and Marius arranged meetings once a week in his art studio because, "It'd be nice if you learn the basics of painting, I promise it'll be fun," He proposed with his familiar but really charming smile, "I'm your teacher, the best one you could ever ask for." he concluded before. You should've known he had other intentions.
That's how you ended up here, your poor patience and self-restraint keeps getting tested every week.
Learn art, he said.
It'll be fun, he said.
After every session you would find yourself wanting to get closer to him, screaming internally whenever he would purposely pull away, his warmth leaving you just when you started to lean on his touch. You decided today was the day to call it quits.
Marius was by the wall, his back facing you while he was hanging your first ever work on a frame that you had just finished painting earlier. It really took you weeks to finish this, as he kept distracting you with his relentless teasing.
You decide it's time to take the leap. The growing tension too much for you to ignore.
Grabbing him by the shoulders, you forcefully made him face you. His body turned around 180 degrees.
His wide amethyst eyes met yours, "Hey-" before he could even question you, you immediately raised both of your hands and pushed him against the wall with a thud, his mouth letting out an "ow" as you trapped his well-built body between your arms.
"Y/N? What are you doing?" He questions as he looked down on you, eyes wide with pink adorning his cheeks.
You pushed yourself closer to him, you can feel his hardened abs on your stomach as you spoke, "How dare you toy with my feelings," You slowly looked up to him from your lashes, sending him a sharp glare, "Von Hagen." you snarled.
Your heated breaths mingled with every exhale, and you can feel the expanding of his chest as he inhaled.
Your faces are only a few centimeters apart, that you can already feel his kiss even without having to connect your lips.
He blinked a few times before flashing a knowing grin, "Oh?" His smirk grew wider, "So that's how it is?" A smug tone coated his words, it was taking every ounce of your self restraint not to close your eyes and lean in to take his lips.
His large hands finds their way on your hips, "I never actually thought you'd make the first move." He pecked your lips, the warmth still there even when he pulled away, "I can't say I don't like it."
Not having the patience to put up with this teasing anymore, you wrapped your arms on his nape and closed the distance between the two of you again, his wet lips connecting with your eager and already parted ones.
The hands that were on your hips were now squeezing them firmly, as you continued to kiss each other with heated fervor. Sending jolts of pleasure throughout your whole body.
His lips continued assaulting yours and you find your hands raking his hair, pulling him to deepen the open mouthed kisses, his tongue exploring your mouth as you do his.
You then pulled away, catching your breath with a glazed look on your face, "Marius," you breathed as you attempted to pull his clothes over his head, catching sight of his toned abs as you pulled it up.
"Whoa there." He gently grabbed your hands to stop you, his eyes still clouded with desire.
"How naughty," He then returned his hold on your waist, pressing you even closer, "You want us to make out right here, the place where i make my pieces?" He licked and parted his mouth as he dipped down to nip on your lower lip, eliciting a sultry moan from your lips, and you close your eyes from the tingling sensation, "You want to make a different masterpiece, babe?" he smirked when he felt your form shudder from his words.
You took his wrist and dragged him with you, "Let's take this to the bedroom, then."
Luke Pearce
LOVE OF MY LIFE
at first he'd be like, "what's wrong, Y/N?" why are you backing him up to a wall??? do you need something???
luke has seen various types of media portraying this famous kabedon™ and what luke has observed is that - you back a person up to the wall, and put an arm or both arms on their sides. people usually do that when they want to confront someone about something, or if someone wants to kiss a person. he notes with realization
wait what
with those thoughts, heat rushes to his cheeks, and would eventually ask you what you're up to
what you're up to, however, is something he didn't know that would completely make him lose his mind and sanity
"Luke, let's meet again tomorrow!" your eyes twitched at the overly cheerful and obnoxiously faked sweet voice, internally rolling your eyes at the annoying display.
You were wearing a bored look as the girl finally hopped off with a bounce on her step, you were certain that she's even humming. You turned to Luke as the silhoutte of the girl disappeared into the night, "Who's that?" you pointed at her direction.
"A client from the shop," he gestured his thumb to the antiques that were displayed on the shelf. He shook his head, "she would always come here to ask about these trinkets," He then eyed at the colorful but old-looking collection, "She claims she's interested."
Still wearing a blank look, you blurted out a "Huh." You groaned internally. You were sure she's interested in something far from the antiques.
It's clear from that girl's actions alone that she has her eyes set on Luke, she would touch his arm everytime she's telling him something, smiles around him a lot.
She even grabbed his biceps and would linger her hands on his chest whenever she's showing him an item that she likes.
Oh, you've always wanted to do that. You've always daydreamed of doing that.
Maybe that's the reason why you were so irked seeing that stranger touch Luke so shamelessly.
Maybe you should start acting shameless like her, no?
You decided that you should.
What if he doesn't like you back? That'll be a problem for later because right now, your blooming affections are overpowering your fear of rejection.
"So, Y/N. What brings you here?" Luke gestured to you to follow him up the stairs to go to the 3rd floor, "I'm actually glad you came, I wanted to try a new game." He beamed, and you melted at the sunshine radiating from his smile, and you would mirror his expression if you weren't so bothered by what had transpired earlier.
"It's in my room." He took the flight of stairs and you followed suit. You remained silent all throughout and he found it weird, but shrugged it off, he'll ask you about it later.
"I'm sure we'll have fun, you love games like these." he grabbed the console box and handed it to you, blush coating his cheeks from excitement.
But you wanted to play a different game.
"Luke." you reached out your hands to get the console from him, before placing it back where he had got it.
He gazed at you with curious eyes, confused as to why you neglected the game, his face turned serious, "Is something the matter?" he questioned, searching your face for any sign of distress.
His expression quickly changed to surprise when you pushed him with enough force that caused him to stumble backwards, he let out a startled gasp when he landed on the wall, his back hitting it with a thud, he let out a groan from the impact. He used his arms to lean on the wall for support, as he lost his balance earlier from your abrupt push that had caught him off-guard. He leaned there awkwardly, "Y/N-"
You wasted no time to cage him in that position, the sound of your palms slapping the wall echoed in Luke's ears.
"Y/N?" He blinked, eyes wide.
You leaned closer to his ear, your breath creating goosebumps on his skin, "I want to kiss you."
"Wha," His eyes widened even more, "What?"
"I just want a yes or no," you intently gazed at his alluring brown eyes, "What will it be, Luke?" you grazed your finger on his chest as you waited for his response.
He was silent for a moment and proceeded to nod with a gulp. With that, you inched your face closer to his, your noses touching before your lips finally connected, warmth flooded your senses and you can't think of anything else besides his lips.
The curves on his mouth fit yours perfectly, and you sensually tilted your head to the side for deeper access, and you opened your mouth to press your tongue on his closed lips, begging for entrance.
He let out a gasp at the strange feeling, giving you the opportunity kiss him deeper. After some time, you needed air and Luke chased your lips when you pulled away.
"Luke," you opted to place a trail of kisses on his jaw, "do you let other people kiss you like this?"
"Hnn," His breath hitched when you left trail of kisses down his neck, "No..." He answered with a blush.
"Good." you pushed yourself away from him and he whined from the loss of contact. You chuckled at his behaviour, "Lie down." you ordered as you gestured towards the bed, and he laid on the mattress, waiting for your next move.
Excitement bubbling in your stomach, you crawled on top of him. The bed creaking with your every movement as Luke lay under you, his ginger hair sprawled on the bed, his eyes glazed with need. You placed your arms on either side of his head, and pressed your body on top of his, "You're mine." you whispered against his parted mouth before crashing it to yours.
He let out a muffled moan as your hands pulled on his hair, your tongues exploring each other's mouths. You savored his sweet taste with fervor, the kiss keeps getting more intense as desperate moans fill the room.
You pulled away, the both of you panting from the lack of air. As you looked down on Luke, you saw a begging look in his eyes.
He looked adorable.
You dipped down again to lick on his bottom lip slowly, "You taste so sweet," you let out a moan as you placed a firm kiss on his lips.
You felt like you were going to collapse if you were standing, Luke held your waist, pulling your body closer.
You moved your lips to his neck, nipping on it to create marks, "Ahh," he breathed, his body squirming and arching underneath yours as you kept attacking his sensitive spots, "So good..." he whimpered, eyes closing from the sheer pleasure.
"Do you want more, Luke?"
With you looking at him with so much need, who is he to deny you?
Vyn Richter
he'll tease you back ngl
would say "you really are mischievous" with a smile flirtier than yours, provoking you to advance your ministrations even further
you think you can fluster him? no you can't, he hasn't blushed in game, not even once!
what makes you think you can /lh
listen, in the face of Vyn's calm and smooth persona, you ain't slick at all in comparison
BUT
DON'T WORRY
the goal here isn't to fluster Vyn, your goal is to rile him up which is very easy by the way
To say that there was a thick, growing tension between you and Vyn, was an understatement.
You were at his residence for your scheduled psychology classes, as you wanted to learn more from him. Just your luck, the topic you're discussing for today was about the psychology of love.
"Why do you think people fall in love, Y/N?" was the first question that he had asked once he was done lecturing.
A soft ray of sunlight cascaded on his hair, as he was sitting beside the window of his study room, while you were sitting side by side, you at his right, your thighs touching. A psychology book rests on the desk before you.
He was too close. The moment he invited you to study on this tiny desk, you wondered why he didn't choose the much larger, much more spacious desk from across the room.
You just shrugged it off, thinking that maybe the sunshine boosts his intelligence and teaching morale.
Maybe.
"Hmm," You put a finger on your chin, "I guess there are many reasons why, like when we find someone attractive, whether it's a physical trait of not," you furrowed your brows, searching the words to elaborate, "or if we care about that person so much and have emotional attachment to them." you shrugged, "just to name a few."
"Do you think it's just a mere bodily response that we aren't able to consciously control?" he looked straight into your eyes, "Or is it more than that?"
You looked away from his intense gaze, "While it's true that the brain releases biochemicals when we are in love with someone, that doesn't change the fact that those chemicals aren't released for everyone you meet, which meant that the person youre in love with is definitely special, special enough for your brain chemicals to register that this particular person," you finally found the nerve to bring your gaze back to his gold orbs, "is the one you love."
You coughed and continued, "In conclusion, it's not just about chemicals, i think it's related to your object of affection as well." you finished.
"You have a good understanding, Y/N." He placed his hand on your chin to make you look at him, "I wonder if you have this so called special someone?" He inquired, flashing you a close eyed smile.
You mirrored his expression, "Yes." You were smiling, but the pounding of your heart was ringing in your ears because of his touch.
"Hmm, I wonder who that is." he then pulled his hand back, his golden eyes glinting with mischief.
He opened his mouth again, "How about lust?" He looked to the side, thinking, "Is it a natural human reaction of wanting to reproduce," his eyes flickered back to you and smirked, "or people just really want a taste of that person and lose themselves in sinful pleasure?" He questioned, voice sultry and provocative.
Him emphasizing the last word wasn't helping the growing heat pooling on your stomach.
You gulped, you weren't sure if you can answer this properly because you already can't think straight from his ministrations, "The latter, I think." you answered mindlessly as your eyes landed on his inviting lips.
"Oh? An interesting answer," He wrapped an arm around your shoulders, "Have you perhaps," he pulled you closer, pressing you to his chest, as his hot breath tickled your sensitive ear, "experienced lust for another?"
Heat rushed to your cheeks and you rubbed your thighs together, fighting the urge to give in to your raging desires.
But he's just so close, your body just wants to feel him so bad right now.
The burning part of you began to overthrow your rational thoughts, you clicked your tongue as you glared at Vyn, slapping your palms on the window beside him, caging him inside your arms.
You felt even more turned on than before because of this closer proximity.
"Wouldn't you like to know?" you taunted, his eyes widened a fraction from your actions, but quickly gave you a teasing smile.
"I can take a wild guess," he placed his thumb on your bottom lip, rubbing it, his other hand finding it's way on your waist, "You're currently experiencing lust right now, aren't you?"
With those words, you felt like burning up.
He wasn't wrong.
"You know..." you let one hand fall from the window to rest it atop his thigh, "I'm a hands on learner," you leaned closer to him, and you can smell his tea scented breaths, "and i bet i could learn more about lust if you teach me, Vyn." You continued rubbing circles on his thigh as you spoke.
"Hmm, then the first step would be a kiss," excitement bubbled in your stomach, "Are you brave enough for that, Y/N?" He whispered sweetly against your lips, his breaths fanning your face.
Not taking the tension anymore, you crashed your lips against his. He quickly responded with the same intensity, as if he'd been waiting for you to do this.
You sigh against the kiss, your moved your hands from the window to his nape, pulling his impossibly closer. He did the same, tightening the hold that his arms had on your waist.
Your hands finds their way on his chest, as you sensually slid it down to his stomach. He let out a groan, feeling warm all over. Your lips still not leaving each other, wet tongues colliding in a sensual dance. Your moans were the only sounds that can be heard from the peaceful room.
The both of you pulled away, chest heaving from the lack of air, a string of saliva hung between your once connected lips.
You removed his glasses and placed it on the desk, "Teach me some more." you panted.
"Oh, sweetheart," he dipped down to bite on your sensitive neck, making you arch your back, "I could go all day."
Artem Wing
ARTEM "I BLUSH WHENEVER YOU GET TOO CLOSE" WING
y'all remember that iconic scene from episode 3 where MC leans in close?
right, and Artem just lost his shit then and there?
I CAN'T EVEN BEGIN TO IMAGINE HOW MUCH OF A STUTTERING MESS THIS MAN WILL BE ONCE YOU TRAP HIM BETWEEN YOUR ARMS, BODIES PRESSING CLOSE TO EACH OTHER, OUTRIGHT FLIRTING WITH HIM WITH NO SHAME
Artem.exe has stopped working
because really, out of all the 4 guys i feel like he'll be the most flustered one
yeah, no arguments, he'll turn into a puddle of red cheeks and widened eyes
though i think if you guys were together for long enough he wouldn't be as flustered as before
pull on his necktie while whispering sweet nothings in his ear, thank me later
"We still have no leads." Artem sighed, hands finding the knot on his tie to loosen it, and to lessen the stress forming in his temple. His hair is in blatant disarray, a huge contrast to his usually well-kept azure locks. Even though he looked really exhausted, you felt butterflies began to rumble in your stomach when you realized that he looked hot. How unfair, even amidst exhaustion he looked alluring.
Irresistibly so - the epitome of an eye candy. His neckline and collarbone can be freely seen because of the now loosened tie, and it took all of your willpower not to oogle too much, or imagine what's under his long-sleeved polo.
You shoo away your fantasies, and gazed at him with concern, "You should rest, Artem. You've been on this case for weeks, I doubt you had even a wink of sleep."
"Don't worry about me," He stood up to the door to probably get some more files related to the case, "I can handle another document or two."
As much as you look up to his dedicated and hardworking nature, you can't help but think that he's overworking himself too much.
Maybe the case was that important to him.
But to you, his health is more of a concern.
Before he can click the knob, you turned him around by the shoulder and smacked your right palm on the door, the resounding thud surprising even you.
"Y/N!?" His cerulean hues widen.
"Artem, you should take care of your health," you looked up, the close proximity making you notice even the smallest details about him, making you do a doubke-take, "I am very..." you trailed off, your eyes wandering to his exposed neck before flickering back to his tired yet devilishly handsome face, "worried."
"Uhh," He unconsciously grabbed on his necktie, "Please don't worry, Y/N." Then he coughed, "You're too close."
The handsome top attorney stood there while darting his eyes, blush coating his cheeks, caged in your arms.
He looked irresistible.
It drives you nuts and your hormones go wild. They're screaming at you to go and get a piece of Artem right here, right now.
The cold from the AC is doing nothing to cool off Artem's alleviating nerves, while he tries to make himself comfortable from your unwavering gaze.
"I can help you relax, you know?" You blurted out, gaining a confused look from Artem. He blinked.
After some moments of silence, you dragged Artem from the wall to push him to the nearby swivel chair, making him sit.
"Wha-" before he could even react, you already plopped yourself comfortably on his lap, hooking your legs on either side of his hips, your ankles hitting the back of the chair, and wrapped your arms around his neck. You pressed your bodies together, your chest feeling his. There's no space left between you two, except for your lips.
You can hear both of your frantic heartbeats pounding through your chest, his breath hitched and his heaving body emanated heat from the tension, making you even more turned on.
He seemed to be speechless as he just stared at you, his cerulean eyes flickering with lust. So you took this opportunity to slowly inch your face towards his, your heart pounding loud against your ribs with every second.
You whispered, "Part your lips, Artem." and he did so with obedience, all while he slid his hands around your waist.
You parted your mouth and without wasting one more second, you devour his awfully sweet lips with feverish passion. The tantalizing taste of vanilla spread throughout your tastebuds as you slid your tongue to intertwine it with his.
The both of you were a moaning mess as you lapped on each other mouth's, savoring each other wholly. You grind your hips on his for friction, heightening the pleasure that electrified you both senseless. It felt as if you were burning up.
The swivel chair rocked from your movements.
You curled your fingers on his hair, and tilted his head back, "Artem," you opened your mouth to press kisses on his jaw, "moan for me." you slowly removed his tie, pulling it down.
"Y/N..." he tried to buckle his hips in search for yours, you smirked at his desperate state, and moved from his jaw to his collarbone, "Ah," he breathed and closed his eyes shut as he felt your warm lips engulf him.
You pulled away, "Look at you," you pant against his ear as you seperate his buttons one by one, until his polo opens, "you can't even talk straight," your breath hitched when his bare chest and stomach came into view, your body tingling with hunger at the sight. You dipped your head to bite and nibble eagerly on his neck to mark him, as you slid your hands under his polo to feel his heated skin on your palms. He let out a moan as you touched a particularly sensitive spot, his eyes closing shut.
You chuckled, "You don't seem like the top attorney to me, Sir."

artem wing.
when he catches sight of the tears in your eyes, artem is at a loss for what to do
he might be obtuse regarding the subject of human emotion, but when it comes to you, he consciouly tries his best to pick up on your moods and how you’re feeling - and he can tell that today is bad
concerned, he trails behind you as you try to fight back the tears, hands hovering awkwardly near your shoulders
artem wants so badly to comfort you, but doesn’t know how to, so he ends up standing silently behind you with a box of tissues for as long as you’re crying, just to let you know that he’s there for you
the second you reach out for him, however, artem is instantly taking you into his arms, folding you tight against his chest as you try to stifle your sobs
his comfort is a wordless one, but you can feel his concern as his long fingers awkwardly but gently card through your hair, in the soft press of his lips against the crown of your head
in a way, you’re grateful that he doesn’t pry, instead waiting until you’ve calmed down to tell him what’s wrong
his hands are clumsy but his heart is earnest as he dabs at your wet cheeks with a piece of tissue, movements slow and hesitant as his fingertips brush against your skin like a gentle caress
he listens seriously when you tell him why you’re feeling this way - it doesn’t matter how silly or irrational it sounds - artem doesn’t judge you in the least
“it’s okay to be upset,” he says slowly once you’re done, curled against his chest and his arms wrapped protectively around you. “i know i’m not… very good with these sort of things… but i’m here if you need someone to talk to.”
he’s stumbling over his words, but his embrace is warm and secure
after he wipes your face and tucks you into bed, he’s calling vyn to ask if there’s anything he can do to make you feel better
❛ Looking down at your hand reached out towards him, he's at a loss. After a few moments of staring at it, and looking at you for any hint, he clasps your hand and gives it an awkward shake. At the sight of your barely contained sniggering, his eyes widen and he quickly inquires about your sudden outburst. This only sends you into further peals of laughter, to his absolute bewilderment. He watches you helplessly until you start to calm down, briefly taken by surprise when he feels you pull him into a warm hug. With a hopeless smile, he finds that he's happy too to see you smiling. ❜
GIVES IT A KISS ON THE KNUCKLES
— Vyn Richter.
❛ With your hand silently reached out towards him, he knows it's a sort of test to see what he would do with it. He quickly picks what he thinks is the best of the options available to him, bowing slightly and pulling your hand to his lips, pressing a delicate kiss to the top of your knuckles. His eyes flit up to your face to gauge your reaction. Your wide blown eyes seem to be answer enough for him, his back straightening as he takes in your fidgetiness. A chuckle slips his mouth and he directs your attention from what he had done subtly, although he prides himself on being able to bring out such a reaction from you. ❜
PLACES IT ON HIS HEAD
— Luke Pearce.
❛ He cocks his head to the side and wonders what exactly you're doing holding out your hand like that. Hesitantly, he takes your hand and guides it to rest on top of his head. He peers at you and is quick to let go of your hand when he sees the smile tugging at your lips. His cheeks burn as he listens to your little chuckles and turns away from you to hide the redness of his face. When you reach out to ruffle his hair, he grabs a hold of your hand and pulls you close into a warm hug, taking you completely by surprise. Pulling away, he sends you a bright grin when he sees your shocked expression, thinking about teasing you more often. ❜
LAYS IT ON HIS CHEEK AND PRESSES A KISS TO THE PALM
— Marius von Hagen.
❛ Despite a moment of hesitation when your hand appears in his line of vision, he's quick to tug it to place on his cheek softly. And all while maintaining eye contact with you, he lifts the hand ever so slightly to brush a kiss to your palm, sending a set of shivers down your arm. Abruptly, you snatch your hand away and turn your back to him, ever to his amusement. His voice gently coaxes you to turn back around again so he could remember the face you'd made forever. Carefully, as though afraid to break you, he spins you around to face him and he swears he's never felt more at home than when looking at your face. ❜
notes so UM i wrote this on impulse, i just really wanted to write for the tot boys and this is the result? AJHSBDNS i tried to write this in a new way, idk if this is like. weird to look at. ANYWAYS hope y'all like this? reblogs vvv appreciated <33
pronouns: gender neutral (excluding a mention of jiejie for the meme)
a/n: i've read other writers' take on this and decided i should share my opinion too
✧ luke pearce
unbothered king! luke doesn't get jealous easily.
why, you ask? that's because he sits at the top of the food chain, crowned with the title ✨ childhood friend ✨
he's immediately superior in every aspect. what, who cares if your boss is a respected senior attorney, or if you have an intelligent psychiatrist vying for your attention? pft, a world-renowned artist who also happens to be a ceo of pax?
even if you have all the money in the world, you could never buy the years you and luke spent together!
all jokes aside, luke never felt the need to be jealous. in the entirety of his younger years, he had the reassurance you would always be by his side. you were seen as a inseparable pair: detective pearce and his beloved watson, sticking together through thick and thin. he never doubted the bond you had, and he knew you felt the same even after 8 years had passed.
he trusted you to never turn your back on him, and well, if some guy is seriously trying to get you to date him, all luke has to do is assert dominance. he's plenty athletic, talented in some fields, and highly intelligent! he'll prove to everyone he's the best man worthy of you!
✧ artem wing
the jealous type, but prefers not to openly show it since he considers it shameful.
perhaps it's his inexperience in dating at work, causing him to fear you'd find a better man someday. he strives to be the kind of man you'd want to marry, but until that actually happens, he shouldn't let someone else steal you away??
he doesn't do it on purpose but he glares at anyone bothering you, scrutinizing every move they make. he only becomes more annoyed at each attempt of trying to get closer to you, and he has to remind himself to stay calm and observe first before doing anything.
you handle those kind of situations well, but if it escalates further, artem is quick to step in and get you out of there, grabbing your hand to lead you somewhere else.
he doesn't tell you why he grows quiet, why he holds your hand tighter and why he's reluctant to let go, but you immediately understand so you squeeze his hand back.
ps: peppering his grumpy face with kisses is always effective to make him smile!
✧ marius von hagen
as needy as he may seem, he doesn't actually require the entirety of your attention.
or maybe it'd be better to say he doesn't mind the presence of other men around you because the idea of trading him for anyone else was unfathomable; who could ever compare to the oh-so-great marius von hagen?
other people know it too. they instantly back down when faced with marius's intimidating smile, hovering behind your shoulder. they weren't aware you were acquainted with someone so... flashy. who has the balls to go against someone hot, rich, young and powerful?
however, even marius can be insecure. he knows he can act bratty sometimes, but it doesn't really hit him until a mature man comes along and impresses you. of course, your interests towards that older man are far from romantic and you only admire his professionalism, yet marius can't help but be envious of that cool and composed behavior he portrayed. marius supposes he hasn't reached that point of maturity yet, one that can only be attained through years of experience as a real adult.
...but until then, perhaps he should indulge in his child-like desires, such as demanding for your attention at every opportunity. yeah, that sounds about right. what was he holding back for?
he's like the kid who sat behind you in elementary school that keeps pulling your hair to make you notice him. underhanded, maybe, but he needs your eyes focused on him.
would definitely try to tickle you under the table or poke your cheek until you give in to his whims. if you don't, he's stuck pouting for the whole day looking like a kicked puppy. (please notice him, jiejie.)
✧ vyn richter
dear lord this man is possessive. easily the most prone to jealousy out of all the boys.
don't trust his straight face. he might be smiling on the outside, but his eyes are definitely not. an unamused vyn is terrifying, by the way.
actively interrupts any chances for other people to court you. ridding of persistent ones are quite troublesome, but he'll make it work. (that sounds bad-)
stays especially near when someone tries to hit on you. his reserved disposition is thrown out the window completely and he begins to engage in displays of affection, subtle ones like wrapping an arm around you or holding your hand that strongly imply he's your partner.
if you're enjoying a conversation with the other person because you're oblivious to their advances, he stays low. but if you look even slightly bothered, he's quick to speak on your behalf, hurling verbal attacks disguised as euphemisms towards the person getting on his nerves.
is definitely the kind of boyfriend who'd give you a hickey to claim you as his. no i don't take constructive criticism on this.
you're only expecting a backhug when he embraces you from behind but you yelp in surprise when you feel his lips touch your neck. to top it all off, when you turn around to look at him, he gives you an unapologetic smile. sly fucker.

artem wing.
awkward, heartfelt kisses
before meeting you, artem has never really explored the area of romance (naturally, his lips have gone untouched for the past twenty nine years), hence he doesn’t have any experience in this department
a little awkward with his hands - he feels as though he should maintain some degree of courtesy even in moments like these
arms around your waist? a little too intimate. hands on your cheeks to pull you closer? too forceful. where on earth is he supposed to put his hands when he kisses you?
you’ll have to forgive this man - all he knows about this subject comes from the dramas he’s forced himself to sit through (for you)… and that is about the full extent of it. he knows nothing else, but the effort he puts into it is enough to make up for it
his little notebook is full of hastily scribbled notes, but kissing isn’t something you can learn by watching or studying - this isn’t a bar exam
so before your first kiss, artem is racked with nerves. he knows he’s inexperienced, but he can’t think of a way to practice. when celestine finds out about this, she laughs so hard tears come out of her eyes
for his first kiss, artem is oddly quiet. you can see that he’s trying to take things slow, almost as if he’s afraid to make a mistake, so you have to take the initiative to pull him down so that your lips can meet. the little gasp of surprise that escapes him makes it completely worth it
once your mouths join, however, artem sinks into the kiss entirely. you can feel his earlier inhibitions and concerns melt away as one hand rests on your shoulder, while the other cradles the back of your head lightly to draw you closer, as if the distance between you is still too much (there is always too much distance)
his lips are a tad awkward, and when your noses bump occasionally, you hear artem let out a little sigh that makes you laugh
no need to worry about something like that, you whisper against his mouth with a smile, your arms still wrapped around his neck. everyone gets better with practice.
and practice he does. artem has always tackled difficult cases before him with single minded determination, and the subject of kissing is no different. he buys books, watches more dramas, and comes this 👌 close to buying a plush toy to practice on
he wants to be good at this. it’s a simple, innocent desire, nothing to do with pride or face - he wants to make you feel good, and that’s it
when you hear of his earnest attempts from celestine, you’re mortified, but also secretly touched
practice with me, you tell him with a laugh one day when he’s driving you home after work. there’s no need for a plushy when i’m here
he’s embarrassed (celestine why), but admits that he wants to get better before he actually kisses you again, because he wants it to feel good for you
after you reassure him about this, though, he seeks you out to ‘practice’ with him of his own accord - just not in the office, please
in typical artem style, he excels at whatever he puts his mind to
after exploring the art of kissing with you, you find that he has a preference for more subdued, sweet kisses
less about the physicality of the kiss but more of the emotional connection when your lips meet, artem prefers to keep things slow and simple - the gentle but firm press of his mouth against yours, the way his hand rests at your waist, pulling you close against him so that you can feel his heartbeat
likes to keep you in his arms for a while after just because he likes holding you (also to hide the colour of his cheeks)
Jealousy Headcannons for Artem,Marius,Vyn and Luke, So like the reader has a friend, and they get too touchy and friendly, how would they react (˵ ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°˵) teehee
srry for any grammar mistakes lol
ToT men when they're jealous!
headcanons + scenarios
Character/s: Artem Wing, Marius Von Hagen, Vyn Richter, Luke Pearce
Genre: Fluff, established relationship, note that these hcs are specified for them to get jealous of your friend, not just some stranger
Warning/s: not proofread
Notes: thank you for the request anon! i hope you're doing well. i added scenarios, i can't be me without them lol. this was really fun to write <3
reblogs would be awesome. enjoy! masterlist
Marius Von Hagen
Mans got no self restraint
I feel like out of the four, he's the one most likely to show his jealousy blatantly
Artem would cough, vyn would wear a passive smile, luke would be pouty. you know, subtle signs and all
but him? nah
we're talking about Marius, don't expect subtle here
he rarely ever hides anything, and that includes his jealousy
i feel like if the situation isn't that serious enough, he'll just get whiny and clingy and touchy but then get over it for a while
like your friend was smiling at you a little too much? he'll just brush it off because he's confident that you like his smile better anyways
heh
but if it was something that could potentially threaten your relationship
that's when he gets serious
he's going to have field day with PDA and all just to show everyone who you belong to
in the visits feature in the game, when you pull on his Z necklace or interact with it, you can trigger a dialogue about him getting jealous because you're talking too much about Z
he even wiggles and pouts so cute
so yeah, you better not talk about another man when you're with him
he'll be very loud about it
in general, he'll try to shoo that person away and tell them you're already taken
but not in a condescending way because they're your friend
and he respects that
"I'm so proud of you!" you exclaimed with sparkling eyes as the man in front of you bashfully rubbed the back of his neck, cheeks flushed.
He was a close friend from high school, and you occasionally get in touch with each other sometimes.
Back then, you recalled how passionate he was with singing and dancing, he would always sign up for agencies' audition in hopes of becoming an idol.
That's why you can't help but feel ecstatic when he told you that he was debuting from the biggest talent agency in Stellis.
Does he mean the PAX talent agency? you thought.
That reminds you, the heir hasn't returned back to your table yet.
You were eating at a restaurant with Marius when he said he was going to the comfort room for a bit.
That was when your friend walked inside, both of your eyes shone with acknowledgement from seeing a familiar face, you invited him to sit with you to chat and catch up. That's when he told you the life-changing news.
He began shifting in his seat, which caught your attention, "I was wondering..." he then looked over to you, "If you could go and cheer for me on my debut stage?" he asked with a shy smile.
You were about to blurt out a very big yes! when you heard a voice coming from your back.
"Who's going to cheer up whom?" Marius' amethyst eyes flickered back and forth from you and your friend, "babe?" he then locked his eyes on you.
The two of you were having a date. He was gone for 5 minutes and when he came back you were chatting and laughing with some random guy. He felt a bad knot form in his stomach.
"Marius!" you exclaimed, "he's my long time friend, and he's debuting to become an idol soon!" you gestured your hands to present your new companion.
Hearing the familiar name, your friend perked up and stared at Marius, a look of shock forming in his features. Everyone knows who the heir of PAX is.
"Oh?" He eyed your friend with interest, "from which company?" he flashed a smug smile at them.
"From the PAX talent agency, sir!" You were a little surprised by your friend's change of tone, and he continued, "I made a song myself, and I wanted Y/N here to hear it." he flashed a soft smile, "They've been supporting me when I was just starting back in high school, I thought I'd pay them back with free tickets on my debut stage." he scratched his cheek.
Marius blinked, they've known each other for that long?
"Sure, I guess." He rolled his eyes and sat next to you, arms circling your waist tightly, which you didn't pay attention to.
You beamed at your friend, "Great!" you gave him a thumbs up, "I'm sure the song will be a hit."
Your friend sensed Marius glaring at him and laughed awkwardly, "Looks like I'm interrupting something." he got up from his chair. "I'm going to go now. I expect you to be there, Y/N."
You were about to bid him farewell when he leaned close to your ear, opposite of Marius, "You've got a good catch. Invite me to the wedding, will you?" he whispered as quiet as possible as to not let Marius hear.
Your cheeks flushed pink at his words.
"What do you think you're doing?" Marius' eyes sent daggers to your oblivious friend.
"It's nothing." He smiled at you again, ruffling your hair, then turned his heel to the exit.
Marius gasped, The audacity. He clicked his tongue.
"What was that!? That guy was being too touchy with you. He even whispered in your ear, in my presence!" he pouted, "Tell me, what did he tell you?"
"Marius, he only touched me once. When he patted my head." you said to him blankly then continued with a sigh, "He said that he's glad I seem to be in a happy relationship, that you were a good catch." you decided to leave out the details and you flushed again.
"Bah! That's right." he puffed his chest, and then scooted closer to you.
He put a stray strand of hair on the back of your ear, "He did pat your head," then his faced turned into disgust, "and leaned close to your ear." he brought his hands up to hold the side of your face, "while I can do this." He said as he kissed your nose, "and this," his lips moved to press kisses to your jaw, "and this," his lips pecked yours.
You felt putty in his hands as you squeaked, "We're in public, Marius."
"Yeah? well you and that guy got me all riled up," he smirked and looked at you with a glint of playfulness in his eyes, "take responsibility."
Luke Pearce
MY PRECIOUS MY ANGEL MY SUNSHINE THE LOVE OF MY LIFE EVERYTHING GOOD IN THIS WORLD
NO I WILL NOT SHUT UP ABOUT HOW LUKE IS THE BESTEST BOY
IM CRYING
i just love him so much okay :(((( he's just so soft and so full of love and so amazing and
i'm sorry
anyways, jealous luke is something you'll witness VERY rarely
listen. i feel like he won't outright show his jealousy if the person flirting with you is still present
like I said before, he would just show subtle signs
and he would confront you about it in private
luke is an inquisitive person by nature, a trait that was rightfully used when he became a detective
he'll ask you everything he needs to know about the guy
he'll carefully analyze if that person's a threat or not
after that, he'll voice how he felt uneasy when you were getting flirted with
then you tease him of course but at the same time pls assure him that he's the only one you love and will ever love
and give him lots of kisses
he'll get all blushy and i can picture the two of you just having a playful banter afterwards
he's just rlly sweet and he trusts you so much i don't think he'll get angry
im in love w him :((((
You and Luke were lounging in his apartment, cuddled on the couch, just binge-watching some detective movie on his television.
You began stroking his hair that is sprawled across your chest, "It's been 20 minutes, our pizza should arrive soon." you said, eyes trained on the clock.
He then nuzzled his face on your neck, his hair tickling your skin, "Hmm, I'm so hungry..." he whined, a little muffled.
Before you could say anything, the doorbell suddenly rang, "Food is here!" Luke suddenly got up from on top of you, with an excited blush and smile on his face, then dashed to open the door.
He looked like a kid running to the christmas tree to open the presents. So cute, you thought.
He was so excited to go get the food that he forgot to bring his wallet that was resting on top of the coffee table.
Sighing, you followed him, money in hand.
"Luke, you forgot this." You caught up to him and luckily, he was just in the middle of unlocking the door.
He gave you an embarassed look, "Pfft, I guess I got too hungry." He smiled playfully and tapped his stomach, and with a click, he open the door.
"Good evening sir, this is your or-" The delivery man abruptly stopped his cheery greeting when his eyes landed on you.
"Y/N? Is that you?" He inquired with a surprised smile.
Your eyes lit up with recognition, "Yes it's me. Long time no see!"
Luke blinked and grinned, "I see you two know each other, thank you for delivering our food!" he turned to your friend, then reached out his hands to take the pizza.
"Luke, he was a close friend when I worked part-time on a pizza joint a few years ago, he was the first friend I made and taught me the basics. it's only right to give him a big tip." Luke nodded as he dug for more money in his wallet.
"How's it going, Y/N? I've wondered what you were up to right now, I didn't expect to see you here of all places!" he exclaimed with enthusiasm and you felt his arms wrap around your shoulders for a hug, "It's nice seeing your pretty face again," he smiled warmly, "and I'm still as handsome as ever." he pulled away then winked.
Luke blinked. What was that?
You sighed, he was always flirty like this, "Of course, it's nice seeing you again, too." Luke then handed the tip to your friend.
"So uhh... Do you want to hang out sometime? I want to catch up."
A stern look made it's way to Luke's face. He knows how important your friends are to you, and he knows the feeling of not seeing a friend in so long.
Most of all, he knows that you'll never leave him for anyone.
So he tries his best not to interrupt you two. He still feels a little uneasy though.
Luckily for Luke, you were too busy in the next few days to hang out. You gave your friend a look of remorse, "I'm sorry, I can't hang out any day this week. I have many things I need to take care of." you said.
"That's alright! I'm always free it you want to hang out," he then turned to Luke, "Thanks for the tip!" he turned his heel to leave.
You and Luke walked back to the couch to eat your pizza, and you start playing a movie.
"Y/N," He called out to you, getting your attention, "That guy's kinda weird." He mumbled with a frown, "I know you're close friends and all, but isn't he being too flirty?"
You saw him looking away with pink dusting his cheeks and you can't help but tease him, "Aww. Is my sherlock jealous?" you snickered before shoving a pizza in your mouth.
"Yes. I mean, no I, " he got even redder, after a few moments, you heard him sigh, "Listen. I don't like it when other guys flirt with you." he mumbled, looking at you with softness in his eyes.
"I mean, I'm your boyfriend and all so I should be the only one who gets to touch you like that." He finished with a pout, pink still evident in his cheeks.
You let out the biggest grin you could ever muster. You love this man so much.
"Oh my gosh, Luke, you're adorable!" you cooed at him as you tackled his body to the couch.
"Hey!" He tried his best to save his pizza from falling off his hands as you lay on top of him, your hands on his chest, body pressed against each other, his scent flooding your senses.
You buried your head on his shoulder, "You're the only one I'll ever love in my life, Luke." You closed your eyes as you start peppering kisses all around his neck, and you heard his breath hitch, "Other guys could never take your watson away from you."
You parted your mouth to kiss his lips, warmth enveloping both of your bodies, "I love you too much for that."
Vyn Richter
I said earlier that Marius was the most likely to show his jealousy when the person flirting with you is present
Now let me introduce the second most likely to snap to that person's face, Vyn Richter
and Marius only won first place with a small margin, like, very small
Vyn is calmer about it though
Even when jealous, he still displays that air of elegance and sophistication around him
His words can be really blunt though
At first, he'd show no signs that he's jealous at all
I mean, that person is your friend and you probably care about them so Vyn decides to give them less of his wrath
He'll just stare at the person and assess the situation as it progresses
If things escalate from having a friendly talk to too much touching on your friend's end, then Vyn might have to do something
You know that deadpanned face that he makes when he's irritated?
That empty look in his face?
That face would make the other person count their remaining days on earth
but really, he doesn't like it when others touch you
he'll try his best to keep his composure though and if he does act a little too much, he'll later apologize to you for his behaviour
just assure him that he's the only one you love!
he needs a lot of security and he just wants to do his best for your relationship to last
he loves you that much
It's summertime, what's a better way to shake off the tantalizing heat of summer than going to the beach?
You and Vyn agreed that a simple dip would be a bit plain and boring, so you decided to take surfing lessons instead.
The waves crashed and the morning sunshine shone down on you, the sand sparkling as you leave traces of footprints on it. The two of you were covered in one piece rash guards, as they protect your skin from the UV rays of the sun.
"Have you ever surfed before?" you suddenly wondered out loud, getting Vyn's attention.
"Yes I have," he put up an arm to his forehead to wipe some sweat, "I only learnt the basics though, don't expect too much of my skills." He flashed a closed eyed smile.
He wasn't wearing glasses today, which is only natural, the waves would rock hard enough to make his glasses fall.
"I'm sure you'll do well. You're never bad at anything." You recalled the times that whenever the two of you tried something new, he aced all of them.
"Of course. I would never want to fail in front of the very person I want to impress." He said as the two of you continued your stroll.
You snorted, "Then I'll try my best to not fail as well!" pumping your fits in the air, you hopped with enthusiam, excited for the first surf of your life.
He grinned, "You'll be fine, my dear."
You guys then headed to the location where the instructor was scheduled to meet you.
"Wow, Y/N??? Is that you?" a familiar voice called out, making you widen your eyes.
There, carrying a surfboard, is a friend you recently made from taking up a certain domestic case. He was appointed as a witness to your defendant, and he was one of the key points why the defense was a success.
He was a bit too flirty for your liking, though.
"Looking good." He chided with a boyish grin.
Vyn chimed in, "Oh? Who this might be?" He wore a pensive smile as he gazed at the muscular instructor.
"He was a witness from a previous case and a friend." You turned to look at said friend and then gestured to Vyn, "This is Vyn, my boyfriend."
Your friend raised an eyebrow and looked at vyn up and down, a bored look on his face, "Huh," He then turned to look at you.
Vyn narrowed his eyes, he can clearly see what's up with this guy, and he doesn't like it one bit.
"It's been a while. Can I get your number?" The man suddenly blurted out then he paused, "Wait a sec." He ran towards a nearby hut to grab his phone.
You smiled awkwardly and looked at Vyn. From his smile, Vyn seemed to be okay with it, so you gave your friend your contact number when he came back.
Vyn tried to regulate his patience. This was your friend.
There's no harm in giving a friend your number.
He doesn't want to ruin your first surf just because he's threatened. He'll wait for more of this person's actions later and then he'll decide whether to interrupt or not.
"Let's start now, shall we?" your friend guided the two of you towards the crashing waves.
It's been 30 minutes and throughout the whole session, Vyn was neglected by the instructor.
Your friend only ever focused on teaching you.
He's clearly flirting with them. Vyn rolled his eyes, unashamed whether the guy noticed or not.
Your so called friend kept giving excuses to grab your waist and hold your hand a little too long. His hands would linger on your hips, even though it's obvious that you can balance yourself really well.
You kept sending looks at Vyn while your friend kept holding you, indicating your uneasiness.
Vyn couldn't stand it anymore.
"I think that'll be all for today." Vyn gave your friend a blank stare, and faced him head-on.
He protectively grabbed you by the waist, "They clearly feel uncomfortable with you touching them like that, and in front of their boyfriend's face nonetheless." Vyn asserted as he sent a sharp glare.
If looks could kill, the guy would be on the ground right now, "Do you have no shame?"
Vyn held you by the wrist to pull you away, leaving a terrified and dumbfounded instructor behind.
You went to your reserved hut after what had transpired.
Vyn sighed, "I apologize for acting that way," He then grabbed his glasses and put them on, "I know he's your friend, but he was being too provocative."
"It's alright Vyn," you smiled at him in understanding, "Even I can tell that he's making the moves on me. I felt awkward when he did that. " You grinned at him, the warm light of the sun accentuated the lines of his face, the warm breeze blowing making his white hair flow.
You moved to wrap your arms around his neck. He held you by the waist.
"To be honest, I'd be more concerned if my boyfriend doesn't get angry if someone suddenly hit on me like that!" You exclaimed, he chuckled at your words, and you chuckled with him.
After your laughter died down, you stared at each other's eyes for a while, his golden eyes beautiful as it bore down on you, "I love you, Vyn." You gazed lovingly at him as he gazed on you with the same intensity.
"I love you, too" He dipped down to suck on the supple skin on your neck, "You're mine." He growled as his arms tightened it's hold on you.
"Forever yours." you replied as he kept marking you his.
Artem Wing
We all know Artem is a man that values trust and security. Even in canon, he trusts you so much!
You literally can't count in one hand the amount of times he has said, or at least implied that he trusts MC
like, hand in marriage pls
I feel like he's the type to say that trust is the foundation of a relationship. He has never been in one before in all 29 years of his life, you can bet he'll do everything in his power to preserve what the two of you have right now
If ever the two of you were on a established relationship already, he would probably feel less insecure and as a result, rarely gets jealous
flirty strangers got nothing on your relationship that was strengthened with the test of solving cases together, after all
but! if the person flirting with you is your friend...
a friend that you probably had a connection with...
then he might feel a little uneasy
especially if said friend is being a little too friendly for his liking
he'll probably either stay silent, or politely tell the person to back off
he'll be calmest out of all four to be honest
but that doesn't mean it's not eating him up on the inside :(
after that he'll shyly and hesitantly tell you that he doesn't like it when people get too close to you
please give this mans lots of love and assurance because he rarely lets people in and once he choose someone to trust he'll think about a long-term future with that someone
and he'll love that someone with all his whole being
protect artem at all costs :(((
It's your birthday, you and Artem decided to watch a movie in the cinema for a date.
"Aren't you cold?" was the first thing Artem asked you when you plopped into your respective seats.
You turned to your left, and smiled sweetly at him, loving the concern no matter how small the problem is, "Artem, I'm already covered to the boot. I feel great!" you said because it's true, The cold of the cinema felt nice, not enough to make you shiver, but it definitely sent you into cuddly mode.
"Wrap your arms around me?" you looked at him and poked at his arm with a pout.
"It seems like you're a little bit more clingy today." he shook his head but complied to your request nonetheless, the armchair not stopping you two from cuddling.
You leaned on his shoulder, indulging yourself in his warm embrace. You feel content like this.
More people waltzed in as the movie's alloted showing time comes nearer.
You were eating popcorn when suddenly you felt a new presence to your right.
"Y/N?" You moved up from Artem's shoulder as you turned your head to look at the owner of the voice, surprise began to settle on your features.
"Hey!" You eyes twinkled with delight as you recognized your former neighbor, "Long time no see!"
He was one of your childhood friends, but you gradually lost in touch with him a few years ago as he moved with his girlfriend to her hometown.
Artem shot the two of you a curious look, but he remained silent.
"Whoa! If we weren't friends on social media, I don't think I could've recognized you!" He said with a big grin as he plopped in his seat to your right.
Your friend seemed to notice the arm resting on your shoulders and he whistled, "On a date with your boyfriend?" His pointer finger gestured to Artem.
Your cheeks flushed, "Yes. We're here to spend time for my birthday."
He beamed, "Ohh, happy birthday! Aren't you throwing a party?" He paused, lips forming to a pout, "Don't tell me I'm not invited." He said, a whine in his voice.
You're going to have to break his poor little heart.
"Well, Artem here went out of his way to reserve various activities for the day, just for the two of us. So no, no party for you." you chuckled at his ever growing pout.
His eyes began to sparkle, "Speaking of parties!" your friend then smirked playfully, "Do you remembered what had happened during your 16th birthday?"
Your brain began to rummage for memories that could've happened at that time.
You gasped, and sent him a glare, "Don't you dare bring that up right now." Your words seem to hold no effect as his smirk only grew wider, and you could've sworn he threw a quick glace at Artem before looking back at you.
"So you do remember," He began stroking his chin, "When you and I kissed." He then sticked out his tongue, mocking you.
You started cursing in your mind. This guy hasn't changed a bit!
You felt Artem stiffen beside you, coughing, while your friend's smug smirk just keeps getting wider and wider.
"Correct me if I'm wrong," You can see that he's clearly pushing Artem's buttons, "I was your first kiss, right? "
Your cheeks heated with embarassment as you turned to Artem in panic, you flailed your arms around and whispered, "Please don't misundertand," You were still cursing your friend internally, "I can explai-"
"The movie is starting! Quiet you two." Your friend hushed you as he started digging his popcorn.
"Let's enjoy the movie for now, Y/N." You heard Artem mutter beside you, there's a faraway look in his eyes, not making eye contact.
You sighed. You're gonna have to make it up to him for later.
The whole movie was silent, except for your friend who keeps on blabbering and reacting about what was happening on the screen.
When the movie finished, the three of you left the theatre, you still hold a little grudge on your friend for revealing such an embarassing memory.
You start to bid each other farewell.
"Stay in love you two!" He gave you a playful flying kiss which you responded with an eye roll.
"Yeah, take care!" You shouted back.
Now's the time.
"Artem," He looked at you expectantly with a frown, "About the kiss... it was just an accident. My cake fell on the floor back then, I slipped, got slammed into him," every word cringes you, that's one of the memories you never wanted to recall, ever.
"You're the only one for me Artem," you whined like a child, "Please don't get angry."
He shook his head and cupped your face, "I'm not angry at you, love," he began massaging your cheeks, his eyes were cast down, "It all happened a long time ago, surely it has no relevance as to what we have right now. Also, he seemed like a nice friend." You beamed at his words. You're lucky to have this man in your life, you thought.
"It's just that..." he retreated his hands back, "I felt a little sad that I was not your first kiss," your eyes widened. He then coughed, "Forget I said that..."
You blinked, processing his words. You don't like seeing him like this, you want to make him happy as much as he's making you happy.
You moved closer to him, your bodies pressed against each other. It was now your turn to cup his face.
Wetting your lips, you stand on tiptoes as you pressed your lips to his, tasting him sweetly.
You're in public, but you didn't care. Uncaring about the incredulous looks passers-by were giving the both of you.
After a few seconds, you pulled away, heat flushed his cheeks as he spluttered, "What was that for? Many were watching." He looked away and coughed. Not that he's complaining.
"To show the whole world how much I love you," you looked away as well, "and even if you weren't my first kiss, you're always going to be my last." With a flush to your cheeks, you dragged Artem to the exit.

xia yan / luke pearce
he prefers your entire face!
listen….. LISTEN……….
luke absolutely LOVES covering your face all over with his kisses
he already missed 5+ years of being with you, so he tries to make up those lost years with his affection
every chance he gets, in private and in public, he’ll also sneak in a couple or so kisses
even when you two solve a difficult clue or escape room or something, he’d suddenly grab you and start kissing you all over your face 🥺🥺🥺🥺
HE’S LITERALLY A PUPPY IM GONANAN CRY
GOD IF HE HAD A TAIL ITD BE WAGGING SO FAST TOO,,,, HIS SMART LOVELY WATSON SOLVED SOMETHING HE COULDNT GET DOWN,,,,,,, HES SO PROUD OF U,,,,,,,,,,,
sobbing over this baby aside
he would DEFINITELY be the type to give you kisses whenever you’re having a bad day like
“stop —“ kiss “beating —“ kiss “yourself —” kiss “up —“ kiss “for —“ kiss “something —“ kiss “you can’t —“ kiss “control!!!!” BARRAGE OF KISSES
but he loves to kiss your face when you fall asleep, his kisses are so gentle and soft when you’re sleeping
and to top it off!!! he always ends it off with a kiss on the lips
you feel so loved whenever he does that, and luke is absolutely DETERMINED to get you to remember that forever!!!!! 😤
you prefer his cheeks!
considering how many times you’d pinch his squishy cheeks and watch him turn into the embodiment of 🥺
it is a GIVEN that you kiss his cheeks after pinching them
99% of the time when you do that, he’ll turn from 🥺 to 😳 then to ☺️. it’s an entire rollercoaster seeing his expression change and yeah, this baby boy is SO!!!! CUTE!!!!!!!
hell, you even kissed his cheeks when you two were younger
when he would hurt himself, you would kiss his booboos away
you still sort of do that to this day when he comes back from an intense case for his agency or the nxx
but you always end it off with a kiss on the cheek
in fact, whenever you needed to focus while hearing luke ramble about how he got jumped, you sometimes give him a cheek kiss out of nowhere to thank him for coming back as safe as possible
he’s very happy that you’re still somewhat the same, he tries his best to enjoy it for the rest of his life
zuo ran / artem wing
he prefers your forehead!
ah mr. wing….. he’s such a shy boy
from his romance kdrama studies, he learned that the female leads love getting kisses not only on the lips but on their foreheads!
first time he did it was when he drove you home from work
“could you… come here for a moment? yes, closer.”
the poor man was SWEATING
he was a lil hesitant but he’s trying!! luckily you didn’t mind this little display of affection. in fact!! you asked him to do it more often!!!
ask and ye shall receive. honestly, the office and mostly celestine probably already knows about your relationship BUT artem wing has a reputation to keep!
as mentioned, he’s a shy boi. he doesn’t like pda, so most of his kisses are reserved for private moments. especially when you’re alone in his office.
sometimes he gives you a forehead kiss out of nowhere as a way to comfort you and to tell you did a good job on a case!
of course, there’ll be times where he’ll have bursts of confidence mostly from being artem wing, stellis’s youngest defense attorney, where he’ll suddenly kiss you on the lips
but honestly? he prefers your forehead, specifically the spot between your brows. you make cute expressions whenever he kisses there, mostly scrunching your nose and shutting your eyes.
you prefer his lips!
artem’s a pretty strict boss, but behind closed doors??? That’s A Whole Another Story
you like teasing him tbh
the advantages of being his partner is that 1. you can enter his office anytime and 2. you can see him anytime
you take advantage of your role as his partner just to go up to him in private and sneak in a kiss on his soft lips
you know the sprite where he awkwardly fixes his tie??? yeah he does that
ESPECIALLY IF YOU PULL HIM WITH HIS TIE
HOOOGHHGMGN………. THIS MAN GETS SO RED WHEN YOU DO THAT
FAKE COUGH AND ALL HES SO FLUSTERED
when you come to his office to drop off documents and you noticed that he’s been in the same clothes as yesterday (probably worked overtime again)
you head over there with coffee and a kiss of his lips as your way of thanking him for his hard work and that he needs to take a break soon
as mentioned earlier, artem has a reputation to keep as the top attorney in themis firm law
so your kisses are always private, but he admits sometimes that he likes your kisses, both surprises and not
he’s so happy that you’re his partner 🥺🥺🥺
mo yi / vyn richter
he prefers your hands!
i forgot to save the draft so i had to rewrite vyn’s section TWICE AAAAA-
dr. richter is such a gentleman, down to his entire being
your hands are so warm against his, who could blame him for kissing them?
whenever you two dance around in his study or the garden, he’d always, and i mean ALWAYS grabs your dominant hand and place a sweet and gentle kiss on the back
it’s like a necessity for him, you even told him that he didn’t need to do that every time but nope! you deserve to be treated like royalty so you will get that hand kiss >:)
even when you’re just holding hands whether you’re on a date, walking in the garden, or watching something together, he’d occasionally bring your joined hand up to his lips and kiss
vyn also kisses your entire hand, fingers and palms and all, whenever he feels VERY affectionate that day
he is a menace and he sure as hell knows it
but at least he’s giving you love and attention ☺️☺️
you prefer his forehead!
you’re so glad that he styles his bangs curtain style which give you Full Access To His Forehead
when you visit vyn whether at his manor or at work, you give him a forehead kiss when he’s sitting down
its a way of you telling him good job and giving him a BIG motivation boost to finish his task
sometimes you’d take off his glasses just to kiss the spot between his brows
hgngnng he blushed SO hard when you first did that but he told you to do it again
he doesn’t admit it out loud, but he does love your sudden forehead kisses
it makes him feel safe and protected, and it also reminds him that he has someone worth protecting and living for 🥺🥺🥺
his eyes even sparkles and has hearts whenever you kiss him too!!!! GOD HES SO WHIPPED…………
ayo get urself a man like vyn richter who you can love and cherish and get that same affection back too
lu jinghe / marius von hagen
he prefers your cheek!
marius von hagen (derogatory) /j
this boy is a MENACE
he absolutely loves catching you off guard with a cheek kiss and you bet that he does that just to get you all flustered like
you could just be talking on the phone with a client or any of the other nxx members and he’d just suddenly come in and quickly kiss you on the cheek
“ehh?~ are you embarrassed?~”
“AUJGJDKCBSKAH- nO-“
you can already imagine how smug he’d be seeing you all stutter and whatnot with your face completely flushed
also if you were on the phone, whoever’s on the other line would be SO concerned. they’d probably think you got a stroke or something, ngl-
sometimes when he’s not being a threat, he’ll give you a goodnight kiss or take advantage of your sleepy self by kissing your cheek. he may love kissing your lips but there’s something soft about kissing your cheeks…
maybe its bc how soft your cheeks feel against his lips?
hm, whatever it is, at least he never fails to get you all flustered like that!
you prefer his lips!
kinda cheated here buT HEAR ME OUT
sometimes you just want to shut up his annoying bratty ass (affectionate), but what other way to shut him up is better than a kiss?
the first time you’ve done it, he was being flirty as always with you while that stupid ceo suit he had on for a banquet. your relationship is kept under wraps to keep marius and pax safe but if any outsider saw you two? they’d definitely think you’re dating
you had absolutely no brain cells to deal with his brat attitude that night tbh
once you two were finally alone, he starts to tease you again which led into you pulling him closer with his tie and locking your lips together
woah… was his lips always this soft??? you expect a young man like him especially one of high class to maintain his beauty but damn…… what lip balm is he using?????
but man, that face he made was REALLY satisfying
he was stunned silent like cricket noises quiet, his face was completely red too
“ahhahAHA- EXCUSE ME I NEED TO, AHEM, REFRESH MYSELF-“
you bet ur ass you were smug as hell for the rest of the night knowing that you got THE marius von hagen all flustered and whatnot. he was even walking so stiffly like a robot as he went to the refreshments!
from that point onward, you started to quiet him with a surprise kiss
but sometimes…. you think he’s being a brat on purpose just so he can get a free kiss
Hullo there! Can I ask for some fluffy headcanons for Malleus, Silver, Vil, Epel, and Riddle taking care of their fem s/o after she burns herself out after a long day of schoolwork please? Thank u!
Malleus
Initially, Malleus considered granting you a spell that would help soothe you from a day of work. However the fae decided that he would save that for later. He's heard of baking as a stress-relieving activity, so Malleus arranged to try it with you today (even if it included a bit more magic than regular baking). It’s worth venturing outside of his comfort zone; you were smiling throughout it and the muffins became one of the rare creations from their kitchens that didn’t require a warning sign!
Later on there’s cuddling - his coat is wrapped around you both snugly whilst he cradles you as the big spoon. Malleus trades stories and advice with you as you rant about your day, and you eventually doze off to the sound of his heartbeat...
Silver
The woods are gently lit with sunlight at this time of day - after chatting for a while, you and Silver found yourselves sitting in the shade of the trees as you caught up. It’s quiet, save for the gentle chirping of birds and rustle of leaves; it was honestly the best place for a nap.
Though the environment was only secondary to what you were doing right now. Fur, softer than you’d ever imagined, tickled your fingertips when you petted the rabbit on your lap. Silver was beside you as you were surrounded by more curious animals. You could only assume that they were attracted to his presence, something that he never thought much of until he learned that spending time with animals could be used as a form of therapy.
Vil
Nothing beats some self-care! By the time you arrive, Vil has drawn up a bath for you with your favored bath salts. Comforting scents twine and fill the air as you feel your muscles lose their tension in the warm water. By the time you exit, drying your hair with a towel, you notice what looks like nail polish on the table.
Perhaps a massage was snuck in before your started on manicures, but essentially the rest of the day was spent in conversation and one another's company. Vil's hand is nimble as he painted, the other holding yours lightly as he asked about your week. It feels unreal, the domesticity and softness of his touch, but you're here and feeling the most rejuvenated than you've been all your life.
Epel
When you’ve spent the day exerting yourself on schoolwork, it’s nice to just rest and not think about things sometimes... That’s how you end up in a mini-sleepover situation with Epel, who suggested that you guys bought some food and binged movies together. It's fun going through different genres and learning about each other's tastes, and depending on how things go, you may end up playing video games or chatting into the night.
Epel was a little worried you might not like the idea since it’s not very refined, but once the two of you settled into your bundles of blankets and pillows it's hard to refute how fun it was. With a warm drink in hand and laughter in the air, you felt your worries drifting away.
Riddle
Riddle invites you to wind down with some tea and sweets! The aroma of freshly baked scones and tarts is more than enough to help you relax - plus paired with the rose gardens and some hedgehog visitors? Thoughts about school will be the last thing on your mind.
At the end of the day it’s almost definite that you’ll end up reading together, though this time he offers to read to you. Riddle’s voice gradually lulls you into a sleepy state, and as you drift off with a faint smile, he almost can’t bring himself to leave your side. (When he finally does, it’s after about another hour as he continued to read silently next to you, sometimes readjusting the covers if they slipped off your shoulders.)
(I'm just going to put this here) Welcome back, Indigo-senpai! Anyway, can I request some fluffy headcanons for Silver, Deuce, and Epel accidentally kabedoning their girlfriend please (like someone could push them onto her by accident)? Thank you!
Thank you! Though it did take me a bit to get to this request!
Ah, the classic accidental kabedon. They’re enough to make anyone squeal! Myself included of course! I hope you enjoy reading!
Accidentally kabedoning their fem!s/o!
You had come along to collect a sleeping Silver from an empty classroom.
Being dazed from just having woken up, he’s not very graceful on his feet. He trips over a bump in one of the rugs and sends you both stumbling. That’s certainly one way to jolt him awake.
Right off the bat, he asks if you’re alright. He held the back of your head with one of his hands to make sure you didn’t suffer an injury. The other hand was used to steady himself so he wouldn’t crash into you.
Very calm about the situation, save for the light blush dusting his cheeks.
It takes him awhile to move, you look so pretty this close up. For a moment, it’s like you two are the only ones in this busy hallway. Eventually, he comes back to senses and moves. He apologies for troubling you and invading your personal space.
Somewhere not too far away, you can see a happy father giggling about his adorable son and his one-day-to-be daughter. He never knew Silver could be so smooth!
Ace pushed him because he thought Deuce needed a nudge in the right direction. This results with a flustered Spade leaning a mere few inches from you as he tries not to let his wobbly arms drop himself onto you. He’s very nervous.
Depending on the kind of person you are, you’re either silently thanking Ace and promising to buy him a chocolate croissant later, or simply wondering why he thought this would be a good idea.
He malfunctions for a good thirty seconds or so. He wasn’t mentally prepared to be this close! He doesn’t know what to do!
Immediately peels himself off of you when his brain can think again. He’s stuttering apologies and asking if you’re okay at rapid speeds.
You’re going to have to reassure him that no harm was done or he will continue to apologize and try to make up for “disrespecting your personal space.”
He probably won’t be able to look you in the eye for some days without turning into the color of a tomato.
Deuce chases down Ace later that day. He needs to make him pay for this!
A student wasn’t paying attention and accidentally bumped into Epel. Which in turn made Epel bump you into the wall, trapping you in-between his arms.
His first emotion is anger, he’s ready to yell at whoever was rude enough to send him nearly tumbling.
Then his mind registers the position he has you in.
He quickly turns red, but he makes no moves to get off of you. Not too long ago, he heard some students talking about this position. Apparently, it’s supposed to make the person on the receiving end swoon, right? Maybe he can use this to his advantage! You get to see a more suave side to him!
He’s trying so hard to keep his blush down. He needs to look cool!
You can easily turn the tides in your favor. Either switch positions with him so that you’re the one doing the kabedoning, or gently hold his face and give him a kiss on the cheek. Both options will make him blush even harder, but the first option would hurt him on the inside a tiny bit.
However, if he knows things like this make you uncomfortable, he will move away and apologize. He wants to make you a good kind of nervous!
May I have Lilia, Sebek and Silver with a reader who approaches them and asks them for their blessing cuz reader plans on courting Malleus?
(Also, sorry if there is already a request of this. I tried to send one but my connection was acting weird so Im not sure if it sent so I decided to make another one just in case)
Lilia Vanrouge
Oh, god help you. He’s gonna be so deeply annoying about everything.
The second you pop the question, Lilia’s mind starts sorting through characters he could play to make the whole thing funny for himself. Shall he be the concerned parent? Or the embarrassingly enthusiastic one? He’ll decide between the two after a pause, and he will try to fluster you.
But, little do you know, you have his approval the second you ask him for permission. Someone sincere like you is exactly who Malleus needs in his life after all! Just make sure to invite him to the wedding, of course. Or he’s gonna pull a Witch of Thorns on you (Or will he?)
Sebek Zigvolt
You were expecting this one already, but — Yeah, he’s scandalized alright. Eyes as wide as saucers, taking a good few moments to process what was said to him, before he starts bombarding you with questions.
He wants to know, first of all, who the hell you think you are, and what makes you think you’re good enough for the young master. And he won’t stop at just questions, either!
No, Sebek will genuinely test you. He’ll be watching you like a hawk for a while, to try and tell if you’re good enough for Malleus. Be prepared.
Silver
Silver stares blankly at you face, then he blinks. He’s not sure he heard your question right?
You repeat it, he takes a moment to process it. Someone’s interested in Malleus? That’s an odd one... he doesn’t see how that’s his business, though? That’s Malleus personal life, and he isn’t even in the Draconia family to begin with...
Will probably redirect you to other Valley of Thorns authority, possibly Lilia himself. He just doesn’t think he has a place to speak on this matter, but, well, consider his blessing given, if you get past them?
if you wanna support my work, you can buy me a ko-fi or commission me!
Silver swore to devote his life to serving and guarding his Young Master and his old man, so he never thought about finding love. But here you are — the person who has stolen his heart and whom he swore to protect with his life.
Even though Silver is inexperienced when it comes to romantic relationships (all he knows is a theory from fairy tales), but he's a quick learner and already knows how to please you or show his love in his own way.
Showing his love through acts of service is natural for Silver; he's a knight and it's his duty to please his beloved and be useful for you. Basically, he's a total gentleman around you: he opens doors for you, helps you to put on your coat or take it off, carries your bag(s) and heavy things, buys you your favourite snacks, etc. It's so natural for him, he does all these things without you asking about them out loud.
Not only Silver is a good gentleman, but he's also a good cook as well, unlike his father. From time to time, he likes to cook something for you to make you smile and to hear your compliments for his work, and even to receive a thank-you kiss from you.
Even though Silver doesn't expect anything in return for his service, he really appreciates your attention as well: you making him a cup of black coffee or giving him a snack or a bottle of water after training, or waking him up when he's accidentally fallen asleep again.
Spending quality time with is also a form of Silver's love toward you. Due to his responsibilities, he's always busy, and Silver feels bad when you are neglected because he can't be with you at the given moment, so being able to spend even a little time with you has become so important to him.
When he can't see due to various reasons, Silver sends his forest friends to visit you and deliver a message or accompany you for you not to feel lonely without him.
Silver loves to spend his time with you, even if you two just do your homework — it's also an opportunity to bond. He enjoys walking around with you in the forest where it's peaceful and nobody disturbs you.
He's happy when you visit him during his training sessions or his club activities — he even may give you a horse ride, even if you can't ride a horse, he will be happy to teach you. Silver will sit behind you on the saddle and take your hands in his ones and put them on the leashes to show you how to guide the horse.
Silver usually happens to be quite taciturn, so he really values hearing your voice and words of affirmation. Just hearing a simple "I love you" is enough to make this boy's pale cheeks warm and him awkwardly smile.
And calling him handsome or just admiring his sportsmanship makes a reserved Silver flustered in a mere of seconds and him blush hard so that he will try to hide his face.
Silver is also reversed when it comes to physical touches because he doesn't want to make you uncomfortable and isn't sure how to express his love that way, so he's thankful to you when you're the one who initiates all physical touches.
It doesn't matter what, namely — he loves to touch you in any way — whether it's hand-holding, a kiss or a hug.
When it comes to kisses, Silver gentlemanly kisses your wrist/back of your hand, but before kissing your lips, he makes sure to ask you if you're comfortable (consent is important!), then puts one hand on your cheek and leans down, closing his eyes, he tenderly kisses your lips while his other hand holds your, running his thumb over your knuckles.
Silver gives the warmest hugs — they are so nice and make you feel safe as he puts his arms around your shoulders or waist and pulls you closer to his body.
Lying his head on your lap is his guilty pleasure — Silver can easily fall asleep that way, but the way you run your hand through his locks really relaxes him.
Hello, may I request a Reader giving flowers to Vil, Azul, Jamil, and Leona? Like, they do it for no real reason other than seeing them happy or to see how they would react in receiving flowers?
Apologies if it doesn’t make sense, and I understand if you’ll decline it.
Many thanks either way, and I hope y’all have a wonderful week!
Thanks for the good wishes and the cute request!✧◝(⁰▿⁰)◜✧
Hope you'll enjoy the first part with Leona and Jamil!
✧・゚: *✧・゚:* *:・゚✧*:・゚✧
Jamil Viper
Jamil is silent.
''What are these for...?'' He asks with a curious gaze. It's not like every day someone shows up on his doorstep with flowers in hand.
When you explain to him that you picked these orange lilies for the vice dorm leader, he is left quite puzzled. Weren't people, like, meant to give gifts to Kalim and not him?
''Besides, these lilies really do remind me of you, Jamil. Matches your aura, don't you think?'' You say with a sincere smile on your face while handing him the flowers.
''Well, thank you.''
Even though he doesn't quite show it, he is secretly feeling happy. You made him feel appreciated.
The next day, you find a bouquet of peach roses along with a note that simply says 'Thank You.' on the Ramshackle Dorm's doorstep.
Leona Kingscholar
''What's that, herbivore? Your lunch?'' He asks you, eyeing your figure head to toe, trying to understand why you have a huge bouquet of sunflowers in your arms.
Confusion overtakes him when he hears your answer. What?
Waving his hand as if he's dismissing you, the lion looks away.
''I don't have time for this. Go give those to someone else, or eat them for all I care.''
But when a frown appears on your lips, he can't help but feel a pang of guilt in his heart. Leona sighs, taking away the sunflowers from your arms and giving you the look™.
He sure is unpredictable.
You smile and thank him for accepting your gift, causing a weird feeling to wash over the royal.
When you finally part ways and he returns to his dorm with the flowers, the Savanaclaw students are very much confused but don't say anything.
Ruggie did try to get some answers on where he got the flowers, however, the only thing the dorm leader did upon this was to keep his silence. Can't let anyone think that he actually has a soft spot now, can he?
Warning(s): Female reader. Mild spice in some of them. Also, this is a really long post because I decided to do all the boys (excluding Ortho).
Summary: In a relationship, one can’t simply call their significant other by their given names forever. Or can they? It’s proven to be difficult for some of the twisted boys….
A/N: These are self-indulgent headcanons… Please note that just because I did all the boys does not mean you can request all the boys. I can do this because I’m the author. Also, I didn’t proofread this so forgive me. 😔
Riddle Rosehearts:
He has almost zero experience in romantic relationships. It’s a given that his nicknames for you aren’t as creative or endearing as you’d like.
In fact, Riddle addresses you by your name most of the time.
But it’s different when he says it compared to the way Grim or Deuce and Ace says it.
There’s a soft undertone in his voice. The way Riddle says your name is full of love and reverence. His eyes sparkle and there’s a small smile creeping up on his lips.
He’s holding back to be honest. He’s afraid that he might be overstepping your boundaries, that he might sound desperate.
He would absolutely love to call you something other than your name all the time, something like “precious”, but a little voice in his head prevents him from doing so.
You would actually have to take the initiative to call him something other than his given name. It takes time, but Riddle slowly works up the courage to call you a cute name.
When he finally does call you “precious”, he’s blushing at his own words, but is relieved when you respond positively.
