I love your nail post! I do my own at home because I am blessed with strong natural nails but NOT blessed with the means to get the really gorgeous sets lol. Mine realllyyyyyy need some TLC right now, thank you for the reminder 💜
I feel like they would all- but especially Valko- appreciate longer slightly sharper nails. One because they're a little more akin to claws
and two because they love to feel them rake over their muscles wait who said that
is there a draft in here? 😂 but seriously you’re right, they would
myself, i’m a chronic nail biter and getting acrylics is how i’ve stopped myself. they are much healthier now! i’m brainstorming ideas for a new valko set for next week 🤔
Because wdym valko has this line??? Wdymmm?? I need answers, infold! Bring him back now!
Valko x reader, bit of a hurt/comfort, established relationship… ~wc 540
“When I was little and wandering in the wild, I didn’t have a blanket, so I used my tail to cover myself.”
Valko meant it as a passing comment, really. A fun trivia about his tail. A tidbit of memory that surfaced while helping you fold the big fuzzy blanket you had just shared for movie night.
But you paused mid-fold, and turned to look at him with a frown.
Wandering in the wild? When he was little? Without anything…? How could that happen?
You thought of a much younger Valko, all alone in a dangerous forest at night.
Probably muddy, hungry, and shivering from the harsh wind.
Exhausted and leaning against a tree, curling around himself before hugging his tail.
“Babe?” He tentatively called, observing you.
Your lips quivered. Gaze looking elsewhere as you tried to dodge his inquisitive eyes.
“Hey now, are you—” concerned, he sets the throw blanket away and comes closer to gently cup your face, guiding you to turn back to him. “Are you feeling sad for me?”
Your eyes finally meet his, and he sees the sheen of tears that has started to gather in them.
He presses his forehead to yours. He understands your sincerity. You’re always so sweet to him. He vows to keep your tender heart safe.
“There is no need,” he says in a low voice, thumbs caressing your cheeks as he coaxes you. “That was a long time ago. I’m fine. Didn’t mean to make you sad.”
You huff, burying your face into his chest as you wrap your arms around his torso. “You must have felt frightened.”
He says nothing, just slowly runs his hand over your hair.
“I’m going to build a time machine.” You mumble into his chest.
You feel the vibration on his chest as he chuckles. “And come find me?”
“Yes. I’ll be younger too. I’ll bring a blanket. And a flashlight. And a tent. And some food.”
He hums. “And a gallon of my favorite chocolate milk?”
That gets you to smile. “Silly.” You squeeze around his waist. “We’ll make it a fun camping night. Play games, count the stars. And when daylight comes, I’ll bring you to your family.”
He kisses your forehead, then nuzzles into your hair. “Thank you, my love. I would have been thrilled to meet you back then.”
He sits down on the couch, leading you to sit sideways on top of him, then lets out his tail to drape over your legs. You giggle, leaning on his chest as you gently brush your hand over his fur.
He regales you with other tales of his childhood, making sure to mention happy memories and exaggerate his mischievous moments. Until he feels your breathing start to even out.
Valko carefully lifts you up and carries you to bed, sliding under the covers with you. He turns to look at your face for a while, before finally settling in to hold you close for the night.
He dreams of that forest again, and sees his younger self. But this time, the small werewolf is happily following a little firefly that chose to stay and light his way. “We’ll be just fine, bud.” He says behind them, the weight of this memory feeling much lighter.
caleb found out your nail tech is a guy and he insists on going with you just to “check it out.” but the tech is pretty cool and ends up convincing him to get a matching set with you and then it becomes a bi-weekly date for the two of you.
rafayel treats your nails as his canvas, giving you the most breath taking sets. everyone that sees them begs to know where you got them done and they’re SO jealous when you say your boyfriend did them. downside is you’re trapped for 3-4 business hours every time he does them cause he’s such a perfectionist.
sylus pays an in home spa team to come to the base at your whim so you can get a mani-pedi and a good massage whenever you want. he had too much pride to admit he wanted to join you until you made it sound like it was your idea and he’s appeasing you by joining (he loves it).
valko loves when you get your nails done because it means better scritches for him. he sends you waaay more than you have budgeted for nails each week without you ever asking, so you always bring home a little treat from the chocolatier.
xavier who notices your nails when you break one on a mission. he says it’s his fault and sends you funds to get them fixed. after that he’s always making excuses. he recommended you get the little star details, of course he should pay for them.
zayne says they’re just nails, even though you’re clearly fishing for compliments. once you’re pouting he admits he was mistaken, they look very cute and having good nail health is important. he won’t skip out on an opportunity to tease you. besides, you used his card to pay for them anyway.
