Hello! Finally another afterl!fe imagines, I'm so happyyy ^^ May I request 80 with Noah, Licht and Sian please? Thankyou ^^
80: I wish you could see yourself through my eyes
I hope you’ll like this! Thanks for requesting ^^
“Careful,” Noah helps pick up some books from the pile in your arms, chuckling fondly. “Our manager is hard at work again, huh?”
You adopt a sheepish grin at that. The books were stacked so high you could barely see in front of you. “Well, I have to do my best with my duties.” Feeling lighter now, you reposition the items to a more comfortable position, starting to move toward the storage rooms. “Everyone is working hard to fulfill their wishes, so I feel like I have to keep up somehow.”
He frowns at the tired tone in your voice. “Have you been overworking again?”
“Um…” You’re not sure how to answer; should you spare him with a white lie?
Noah reads your expression, speaking gently. “You’re doing more than enough, you know that? We all admire you for looking after the entire department and tolerating us.” He settles into a soft smile. “If only you could see yourself through my eyes, dear manager.”
-
Uneasiness creeps in as you examine the flyer Licht handed you. You feel bad, but you have to tell him sooner rather than later.
He notices that you don’t seem as excited as he’d thought you’d be. “What’s wrong, darling? Is everything alright?”
“I…” You sigh, combing a hand through your hair. “I don’t think you should bring me as your date.”
Before he could misunderstand, you quickly continue. “It’s not because I don’t want to spend time with you! It’s just… I don’t look the best in yukata.” Heck, you weren’t even sure how to put it on or even style it. “And I’ve never been to japanese festivals like these before… I might just become a hindrance to you.”
Licht smiles kindly, taking your free hand. “Hey, it’s alright. You don’t have to go if you don’t want to.” Though there is one thing he has to clarify. “But just so you know, you’d never be a hindrance to me. In fact, I wish you could see yourself through my eyes, then you’d understand how lovely you are.”
-
You and Sian were hanging out in the music room, where he’s let you look over a song he’s drafted. You’d been giving constructive criticism and cooing over his work, which he knows he should think on too much since you’re just a genuinely nice and sweet person, but god you just look so cute from his spot across you-
“I wish you could see yourself through my eyes,” he all but mutters out, hidden behind his notebook but keeping his eyes on you thoughtfully.
Unfortunately for his health, you heard him. You jumped a little and stare at him in surprise, not expecting that compliment. Ah, is that your face burning? You hope it isn’t showing on your cheeks. “I- I’m sure you don’t mean that…” You try to wave it off, averting your eyes, suddenly feeling much more timid than before.
Sian’s own face is dusted with a bit of red, but he otherwise maintains his cool. Pouting slightly, he responds in the same quiet tone. “Well… I kind of did. But it doesn’t matter, anyone would agree that you’re a great person. Even that nerd Cyrille, though he’d say it in some dumb complicated way."
"kiss me goodbye?" with Licht, Noah, and June? Ty~
Licht is about to leave through the portal for a mission, but pauses as a thought occurs to him. He can't possibly leave without a special gesture or endearing line! How could he have forgotten to do such a simple thing?
The soul reaper quickly turns and approaches you, wearing a smile tipped in mischief that has you raising a brow.
"Kiss me goodbye?" Licht asks charmingly, taking your hand in his.
"Hey! Can you not? We need to go!" His comrades scold him.
"But how could I leave my love in such a cold manner?" He spares them a cheeky wink. “But if you darlings are jealous, I can shower you with affection later.”
How dramatic… But you suppose it's also a little endearing. Faking exasperation and telling him to be careful, you give him a chaste kiss, sending him on his way. The gesture seems to have given him an energy boost - there's a bounce in his steps as he calls out to you one last time before being dragged through the portal by Sian. Hopefully they don’t break into a fight on the other side…
-
“Seems like this vengeful spirit is more powerful than usual.” Noah says as a way of greeting. “We have Ell and Youseff though, so things should be fine.”
It’s not like him to worry about these things… You rise from your desk. “I take it you’re done with prep, seeing as you're here?”
“Yep, all that was left is getting motivation from visiting my favorite person.” He smiles, coming closer. “So… Kiss me goodbye?”
“So that was why you mentioned it’d be dangerous…” You shake your head bemusedly. “You don’t have to find excuses to ask for a kiss, you know?”
“But it feels more justified this way,” his tone isn’t too convincing or serious. “I’m taking the time of our beloved manager, after all.”
“Careful, you’re starting to sound like Licht.”
“First you compare me to a grandpa, now a flirt? I can’t seem to win no matter what.”
Despite the banter, your next sentence rings true. “Just be yourself, maybe?”
“Hmm… I’ll take that into consideration.”
“You should. I’m quite sure it’s foolproof.” You finally lean in to close the gap.
-
"Hmm..?" You look up in surprise. "June, you haven't left with the others yet?"
"Nope~" He waits for you to put down your documents and face him. "There's something I need to do!"
"Which is?" You play along, a smile pulling at your lips.
He grins, pointing to his cheek. "Kiss me goodbye?"
The boy must’ve picked this up from the movie yesterday… You can’t remember the script exactly, but attempt to replicate the mood.
You give June a peck, winking as you retract. "Get those spirits good for me, will you?"
"Of course, haha! I'll be back before you know it! May the scars on my skin honor my great deeds-” He starts to leave, pumped up.
At those words, you forget your work for a moment. “Try not to get hurt, please?”
June stops to pivot around, flashing you a thumbs up. “It’s fine, I don’t feel pain no matter how the wound may look!”
“That’s not my point! June!” He’s already gone. Good lord… Maybe you should message Theo to keep an eye out?
4. hug me and maybe i’ll change my mind with Quincy and Sian (separate)? If two characters isn't too much. Please and thank you!
Sian's part will be in another post - hope you don't mind and thanks for requesting!
"Quincy…" You utter slowly, trying to prevent his revolt. "Calm down, we can talk this out."
Said devil doesn't back down, clutching onto a spray-bottle of poison. Quincy narrows his eyes at you. "How stupid do you think I am? I'm not giving up my only means of defense against those monsters!"
"We're getting organic pesticides! They'll be here in a week's time!"
"A week too late!" Quincy snaps back, before glaring downwards. "I don't get what's so bad about my method anyway, it's not like it's killed anyone yet."
Yet?
"How about I borrow you repellents in the meantime? As long as they stay away it should be fine, right?" You offer. This would be coming out of your personal supplies, but it'd just be for a week anyways.
"...why can't we just poison them to death?"
"Quincy!"
"Hug me and maybe I'll change my mind." Quincy quickly settles into the words, fixing you with an expectant stare and crossing his arms.
He wasn't expecting you to actually do it. Just how desperate were you to keep him from spraying poison in the corridors?!
You retract from the hug, giving him a smile. "Well, that's settled, then." Wait, when did you manage to swipe the bottle from him? "Thanks for your understanding, Quincy. I really appreciate it!"
He's left with an odd feeling in his chest as you wander off, a bounce in your step. Quincy knows he gained more than lost just now, but why does it still feel like he's been defeated?
omg omg can we have general boyfriend headcanons for Ell??? maybe, like, dates he prefers, how he kisses, how he cuddles?? a playful gender neutral s/o would be nice :))
Really any form of quality time with you would make his day - especially if he's gifted with your smiles and laughter
But if he had to choose, something in nature is always nice! It could just be a stroll or picnic, but Ell always appreciates the relaxing quality of the outdoors
His kisses are sweet and not too long, when Ell pulls away his cheeks are always dusted with a happy blush as he checks if you're content yourself. It did take a while for him to get used to this kind of intimacy, but he can't say he doesn't like how it brings butterflies in his stomach and warms his heart
Cuddling however, is something he picks up rather quickly! Doesn't mind being the big or little spoon, since there are pros to both. Mostly just cares for comfort on both parts
Your playfulness always lights up the room~ Ell likes how it can liven up the air (but gets yelled at by a certain devil because his halo has appeared and it's bright)
Is protective of you when faced with destructive spirits and other hazards, and may forget at times that you could've dodged or handled something on your own (Ell can't help but get caught in the moment, one second later and he's suddenly finds himself by your side)
Very thoughtful and thus gives really good gifts, be it casual ones where he thought of you while he was out or event-based like birthdays. It helps that Ell is a good listener, and he always does his best to help you with your work (which brings in your own role of making sure he doesn't spread himself thin! It's a nice balance where the both of you look out for each other)
YEeeSs!!! Another AFTERLIFE writing blog!! (Plz excuse my enthusiasm 👉👈) If requests aren't closed, may I ask for the Noctu gang (minus Aitachi coz he a baby) with a short S/o, (g/n, fem, male ect I don't mind 🙃) Thank you~
Nine
He usually keeps his comments and teasing to himself in order to not overstep boundaries, but as the two of you get closer Nine can’t help but let some of thoughts slip - be it calling your height charming or asking if you needed help reaching an item on a high shelf
When he teases you or finds you adorable he has a small smile playing on his lips, one that makes you both exasperated and oddly endeared
Nine is mindful of not bringing your height to attention, in case you were ever to react negatively to it. As much as he finds it as another trait that he likes about you, he’s aware of how insecurities may come to surface if the topic is touched on too often.
Kirr
At first the hunter takes the route of instinct - which is to say, he’s a little protective of you because of your smaller size. As a way to console you however he acknowledges that this also gives you an evasive advantage in fights, where you can likely maneuver easily around bigger opponents.
Your height reminds him of a small woodland creature, and on occasion Kirr finds himself staring because of his mind making comparisons between the two. When you catch him in the act he averts eye contact and says it’s nothing, but the blush creeping onto his ears suggest otherwise, piquing your curiosity
He finds your height cute and wants to dote on you sometimes, but refrains from doing so because despite appearances, he knows you’re stronger than you look
Day
Depending on how short you are, Day may find himself exclaiming it in awe - he means no offense, of course, he just got hit with the realization of how much more lovable this made you!
If you allowed, he may lift you onto his shoulders so that you can become taller than all of them! Hold on tight, though - he might start to wander around with you like this to show the others out of excitement
You’re probably another calming force in his life that acts as his rock (like Nine), and while Day enjoys the shenanigans that can come along with your height he doesn’t associate it with any weak traits (it doesn’t even cross his mind) - you’re always reliable and cool in his eyes!
hmm.. can you do nine for that “imagine if a character never became a soul reaper” post please?
"Nine... Mind if I be your plus one for tonight? We'd be the perfect pair of tens to dazzle the room~" "Mr Licht... I'm sure you don't mean that. I know you're planning to ask Miss Manager to be your partner during the mission." "You wound me, darling! To answer that with such a serious expression!"
What an odd dream... Was that Licht talking to someone? The other voice sounded polite and gentle... It's the first time you're hearing it, but somehow you're filled with a sense of nostalgia as you recall the conversation.
You try not to think about it too much, yet the next few nights are plagued with similar dreams featuring the same mysterious voice. The latest one included this 'Nine' person playing the piano - very skilfully at that. He might even give Theo a run for his money...
You can barely recall his face, but clearly remember thinking he was beautiful. Though something told you that calling him "pretty" wouldn't be a good idea.
The others start to pick up that you're distracted and try to help by providing distractions or possible remedies. One day you're doing paperwork in your room when a soul reaper knocks on the door.
Day enters and you brace for his usual energetic self, only to be met with a much more muted and worried version of him instead.
This in turn spikes your concern - what could've made him so quiet today?
"I think something is missing..." Day tries to explain. It turns out that when he woke up this morning, he'd turned around in bed to address someone, but realised that he didn't even have a roommate.
"It's weird, though... I thought for sure there'd be someone there, like my instincts were expecting it.."
On the same day is a scheduled mission at a famous university. In order to cover the campus most of the soul reapers went with you to the human world. While you were checking on everyone's progress you come across Licht, who was talking to a student there. Unlike the usual starstruck conversations you were used to however, this person seemed like he'd rather be as far from this flirty stranger as soon as possible.
"I'm sorry, but I'm not in the music department," he was saying. "I don't think I'll be much help with finding your way to class."
"Licht, let's not bother the students." You sigh a little, making your way there. "Sorry about him, he's-"
You're struck into dumbfounded silence as you meet the person's eyes. It feels as if electricity is running through your veins - what was happening? He didn't seem like a vengeful spirit...
"Darling~!" Licht greets you, cheerful as ever. "This is Nine, isn't he quite beautiful? I think he might just be able to fluster Sian like Quincy did at the start!"
You manage to snap back into reality, albeit still feeling a bit dazed. "Licht, you shouldn't just go around calling people beautiful. They might be uncomfortable with it."
Your words seem to surprise Nine, and he takes a moment to observe you properly. "...Have I met you before?" He asks, gaze focused and seeming to be analysing something before he catches himself. "Ah... Sorry, I'm not sure what got into me..."
"It must be the weather. I'm feeling a bit lightheaded myself," you smile at him kindly. This, however, enables Licht to redirect the conversation (and group) to one of the cafes on campus. Somehow Nine finds himself dragged along for the trip, and here you are, just having picked up the to-go orders from the counter and offering a sympathetic, if not apologetic look to Nine.
Day and Kirr were around the area and so they regrouped with the three of you. The former almost exposed them as soul-reapers but Licht manages to cover up the slip quickly enough. If Nine noticed, he didn't attempt to address it, instead joining in the conversation and relaxing the tension, asking where you guys needed guiding to.
Nine isn't one to try and get close to others, but this group's just essentric enough that his curiosity was piqued... They didn't seem like students from the school, but they weren't giving off a dangerous vibe either.
One was chatty and the other reminded him of a puppy, but they weren't so bad, compared to the judgemental and unfair treatments he's been used to so far.
That "manager" girl... She's the most suspicious, if only because he was hit with a pang of nostalgia when she started speaking. His heart feels like it's hurting a bit, too, in a way that he can only describe is similar to heartache. Which made completely no sense, since he's only met her today.
With these mysteries in mind, Nine acts as their guide around the campus, retelling some long-based rumours about the auditorium halls and such.
Along the way they pick up a few more essentrics, and Nine was barely able to remember their names before they arrived at their destination: the concert hall.
During the purification process the reapers almost lose control of the vengeful spirit, until Nine finally butted in and talked them down (it was a music student that overexerted themselves from practicing and applying to competitions)
By then he's already figured out what everyone is and the entire situation. But there is still one slightly confusing thing. You.
If nothing else, your actions and role during the purification only confused him more; you didn't seem to have a weapon like the others, so you weren't a Soul Reaper. But you seemed close to every person on the team (which sparked a bit of longing in him that he didn't expect) and seemed to be able to sense the presence of the vengeful spirits.
Curiouser and curiouser... It seems his questions haven't all been answered yet.
A second part to a previous request, where I wrote Quincy's variation to the prompt "hug me and maybe I'll change my mind" - this time with Sian!
"You should probably take a break, you know." Sian's brow narrows slightly. "It's even harder to focus on work when you just marathon through it."
While your mind was starting to feel a little fuzzy from the last two hours, a stubborn part of you refused to relent. Sure, the weather outside was great, and your mug was drained empty already, but these was the last sets of documents you had to work through!
"I'll do that in a minute," you half-focusedly reply. "Just a bit more and I'm done…"
Sian steps directly in front of your desk, drawing your attention up to meet his crossed arms and knowing gaze. "You're tired."
You are, but it's not like you're just about to agree to that. "It's fine, I'll be fine."
"Nope." Was he always this determined? "There's no way that this is good for you. Let's take a break and come back later; Nine made cookies, and they'll be finished soon if we don't hurry."
Maybe it's the blurriness from staring at papers too long, but you give him a slighted smile. "Hug me and maybe I'll change my mind."
Sian's eyes widen as he blinks at you, a blush already creeping onto his cheeks. "W-Wait, what?!"
His embarrassed expression was always one that you found cute, though you do your best to hide your laugh. "Sorry, sorry - I was kidding." You rise from your seat, stretching your legs and starting to wake up more. "A snack sounds great! And thanks for looking out for me, Sian. It means a lot."
The warm look you're giving him makes Sian turn his gaze to the side. He mutters his reply, slowly making his way to hold the door open for you. "...It's only natural, seeing as you take care of us as well."
This boy can be so sneaky sometimes... (21: You hate when I'm right)
“No way…” You stare at the screen in disbelief. “Why would he do that?! By giving it up he’s losing everything!”
“He must have his reasons.” Youseff’s lips tip upward, secretive and victorious. Usually you’d find the expression charming, but in light of the bet you’d just lost you were unaffected by it. “I believe you now owe me a favor?”
You sigh, but accept your defeat. The bet was to predict the plot progression of the show you were watching. It wasn’t until recently when you both started meeting up to catch the weekly releases, taking turns hosting food and drinks.
Hopefully his request won’t be too embarrassing or troublesome to keep up with. The last few rounds had ended with a tie in total, so now he was in the lead with 3 points. “Fine, fine… What will you have me do?”
“Hmm…” Youseff ponders aloud. “Take over my chores for the next session… Helping me monitor Quincy, cooking dinner…”
Finally, he turns to face you with a pleasant smile. “I’ll choose later.”
The cheeky tone behind his words doesn’t go unnoticed. “Hmpf… Torturing me like this... What happened to your usual gentlemanly behavior? I wonder if Cyrille was right in guessing you had a hidden side.”
“Such words won’t sway me.” His dark eyes glint amusedly. “You just hate when I’m right.”
