Hello, could I ask for balrog dating headcanons? I feel like a starving little orphan from the lack of fics surrounding him
High Risk, High chance at love
(Balrog x Reader headcanons)
Intro: Huh…I figured someone would send me this request sooner or later. Elloooo everyone, hope you guys are enjoying the last bits of summer! Thanks to this anon for giving me a bit of a challenge,I noticed that quite a few characters don't get any fics about them just because they're underrated and aren't in 6 yet…Sooo I'm willing to help you out and feed you a lil smth smth
Notes: I've never wrote for Balrog before, buuuuuut I have just enough of an idea of his character to craft something up, I thought it'd be easier to write the reader who's just as slick as he is too
Warning: None
Context: Street Fighter, barlog x reader, street fighter x reader
You guys know that one meme? "You have to treat a car like you treat a woman" Yeah…that may be you and balrog-
As fucked up as it sounds…life has a weird sense of humor, a way of showing that anything could happen
You dating balrog is just proof of that! especially considering how different you two are to each other
Despite those differences, you guys are "partners in crimes" you're just as willing to play dirty as he is, so maybe you get some respect for that
So congrats on being the ONLY person this moneymaker cares about! (Well, besides ed but idk if he'd tell you that until things get…semi serious)
You guys started dating around the end of his "shadaloo" era, soo you may know about some of his "odd jobs" and whatnot
Speaking of which, I don't think he'd let you help on one of his odd jobs.
He'll tell you it's because he "doesn't want to be held back" but honestly? between you and me, the big guy doesn't wanna see you hurt
I mean, he likes having a pretty face around (you) and it'd be a shame if something were to happen to it…yeahhh, he'd definitely say something like that
You're a little shit to him tho from how much you tease him
I can see dates for you two being gambling, eating cheap fast food, orrrr going to those underground boxing rings
Speaking of which, balrog would ask for…a hand whenever he gambles (and by hand I mean helping him cheat)
Maybe you fuck with the tables, or sneak a peak at someone's cards…he bribes you with half of whatever he wins if you do >:3
You have the looks and charm to fool anyone so using that to help your man win big is…beneficial for you guys anyways
Anytime there's a fight, you always make sure to place your bet on balrog, not only does it make his ego go big, it also gives him even more of a reason to beat up the sap who thinks they stand a chance
He's kinda a sweet talker when it comes to you but it always comes out as some sleazy salesman selling you a scam
I know I said that balrog would treat you like that one meme i shared earlier but he'd definitely have his moments where he's not being an ass to you
For example, he'd throw a random card (one that he definitely didn't steal) and tell you to "go crazy" with it
Not the traditional sense of spoiling…but it's the thought that counts
Balrog is also willing to throw hands on your behalf
Yeah sure…he does it anyways- But if someone just so happens to annoy you (or him), then consider that person taken care of…roughly.
I'm not saying you two are "gossip buddies"…but you and him would talk the LOUDEST shit on anyone
Did I mention how you're the only person who can hold him back from cursing someone out?
