He is extremely clingy. He latches onto you like a koala and won’t let go no matter what. If you are hungry and want to go to the kitchen, he is going with you. Since he is the best of the best, he will make you something to eat (depends on if it’s actually edible or not). He wants to spend his every waking moment with you. So good luck trying to get some alone time.
Give me a character and I will give them a random headcanon.
Caelus has no clue how to handle having a crush, so his first instinct is to overdo it. He’ll do things like lean casually against a wall, only to lose his balance and awkwardly stumble. He brushes it off like, “Yeah, I totally meant to do that. Gravity’s just jealous of my vibe.”
He tries to impress you by doing random feats of strength or skill, like lifting something heavy or flipping a coin way too high. Inevitably, the coin smacks him in the face or he drops whatever he’s holding. “Totally fine, no big deal. Bet you’ve never seen that move before.”
When he tries to flirt, it’s both adorable and a disaster. “Hey, did it hurt when you fell from the… uh, wait, how does that go again?” He fumbles the line so badly that he ends up laughing at himself, which somehow makes him even more endearing.
After talking to you, he’ll replay the conversation in his head a thousand times. “Why did I say ‘cool beans’? Who even says that anymore?!” March catches him mumbling to himself and absolutely roasts him about it.
Caelus tries to bring you little gifts, but they’re always slightly offbeat. He once found a rare rock during his travels and handed it to you with a goofy grin. “For your collection. You have a rock collection, right? Everyone needs a cool rock.”
He’ll glance at you when he thinks you’re not looking, only to get caught mid-stare. Flustered, he’ll blurt out something random like, “Oh, I was just… admiring the way you, uh, hold that cup of coffee. Very professional.”
When you’re in danger, all his usual awkwardness disappears. He’s hyper-focused, always stepping in front of you and making sure you’re safe. Afterwards, he’ll try to downplay it. “What, me? Worry? Nah, I’m just built different.” (Caelus, baby, no... 🧍♀️😭)
After doing something "cool" around you, he’ll discreetly glance at you for a reaction. If you smile or laugh, he’ll be absolutely beaming inside. “See, I’m totally crushing this whole ‘hero’ thing. No biggie.”
The Astral Express crew picks up on his crush almost immediately. March 7th and Himeko are relentless in their teasing. March might whisper to you, “You know, Caelus has been practicing that pose for hours,” while Caelus groans in the background.
Despite his goofy attempts to impress you, there are times when he lets his guard down. When you’re feeling down, he listens intently, offering quiet words of encouragement. “Hey, no matter what happens, I’ve got your back. Always.” Those rare moments of vulnerability make it clear just how deeply he cares for you.
summary: caelus is a patient man. he can bear the lovesick gaze you held for dan heng. he can tease you whenever you gush about him and leave you flustered. he can tolerate the number of times you have shown physical affection towards the male even though he wishes that would be him instead. yes, he is a patient man to the point he can lose himself and do the unthinkable just because he loves you too much.
genre: unrequited love (on y/n & caelus' side), oblivious x in love trope, a hint of suggestive content at the end, painful pining towards the reader, questioning one's feelings, caelus being a flirty little shit
note: this idea keeps bothering me like a plague and as someone who is obsessed with stories that have unrequited love, it's hard to ignore huhu. anyway, enjoy the fic <333
special mentions: @pandaquick
Despite possessing a powerful force in his body, Caelus is in love with someone.
The fondness of his eyes is evident whenever he looks at her, his gaze softening with affection as he wishes to hold her close and never let go. There are many times he daydreams about their future together, picturing moments of happiness and contentment that they could share while wearing a lovesick smile that never seems to fade.
His arms around her waist, pulling her in for a warm embrace as he whispers sweet nothings in her ear, expressing his love and devotion. He moves his head up to kiss her forehead gently, feeling a rush of warmth and happiness at the thought of being with her forever. The way she smiles back at him, her eyes sparkling with love and trust, as she whispers those three words on her lips that he longs to hear every day: "I love you."
Then they would seal their love with a passionate kiss, lost in pure bliss and contentment. He deepens the kiss, savoring the taste of her lips and the feeling of being completely connected to her. He relishes the way her soft hand gently caresses his cheek, a simple gesture that speaks volumes of her affection for him.
It only made his fantasies more vivid and irresistible when she moaned out his name in a soft, breathless voice, sending shivers down his spine. The world around them fades away as they hold each other close, knowing that they have found true happiness in each other's arms.
Unfortunately, his best friend, March 7th, had to snap him out of his reverie multiple times before she started rambling again, saying that Caelus couldn't figure out what she was saying because he was too lost in the thoughts of his beloved. He was a bit embarrassed by how distracted he had become, but he couldn't help it—she had a way of consuming his every thought.
Whenever they had to go on a mission together, it was his top priority to protect her at all costs, even if it meant putting himself in harm's way. He acts like a shield, constantly positioning himself between her and any potential danger, ready to take the hit if necessary.
He glares at anyone who dares to approach her with ill intentions, his baseball bat always at the ready to defend her. The thought of her safety always weighed heavily on his mind, driving him to become even stronger in order to keep her out of harm's reach.
Even though a mere scratch is nothing to him, seeing the slightest hint of distress on her face would make his heart ache. To return the favor, he lets her tend to his wounds with gentle care as an excuse to feel her touch and be close to her for just a little longer. It was the best feeling he had ever experienced.
However, he might have unpleasant thoughts about getting hurt frequently in order to have her attention and affection focused on him, even if just for a moment. Unfortunately, Welt Yang had to remind him that intentionally putting himself in danger was not a healthy way to seek her attention, so he dropped the initial idea obediently.
Who knew love could make someone consider reckless behavior just to feel cared for?
His crush on her didn't just start out of nowhere; it had been growing for months, fueled by her kindness and warmth towards him.
It all started when March 7th said that a friend of theirs would be returning to the Astral Express after months of absence. This piqued the curiosity of the youngest member of the crew, who was surprised to learn that another Nameless had joined before him.
This leads to Caelus constantly asking March 7th about this mysterious friend, eager to learn more about them and possibly even meet them in person. He learned that her name is [Y/N] [L/N], a cheerful and adventurous healer who had been traveling the galaxy on her own for quite some time.
She followed the path of the Abundance thus she was blessed with a unique healing ability that made her a valuable addition to the crew. Her healing touch was said to be able to mend even the most severe injuries, making her a crucial asset on their dangerous missions. But the consequences are crucial, as it drains a significant amount of energy from her, leaving her weakened and vulnerable if excessive use occurs.
March 7th recalled an event where she had to heal multiple crew members after a brutal attack at the Astral Express, pushing her abilities to the limit and leaving her bedridden for months afterward.
The Astral Express crew was forever grateful for her sacrifice and dedication, knowing that without her healing abilities, they may not have survived the attack. In return for her selfless actions, the crew made sure to provide her with the necessary rest and support she needed to fully recover.
Another interesting characteristic about [Y/N] is that she loves to gossip with Himeko and March 7th about the latest news and drama happening across the galaxy, always eager to hear and share stories from different perspectives. She would literally drop everything to join in on a juicy conversation, and she has a knack for keeping secrets.
Whenever she had free time, she would meditate in her bedroom to clear her mind and recharge her energy, finding peace and balance amid the chaos. But in most cases, she would often bother the cold and reserved archivist, Dan Heng.
March reminds Caelus about [Y/N]'s crush on Dan Heng. It was entertaining but sometimes sad to see the healer constantly pining after the archivist, despite his obvious disinterest.
Her eyes would immediately light up whenever Dan Heng entered the room, but he would always seem to find an opportunity to distance himself from her. She often compliments Dan Heng about his amazing fighting skills and his extensive knowledge of history, but he would usually just nod politely and continue with his work, seemingly uninterested in her admiration.
She would always find an opportunity to strike up a conversation with him, hoping to catch his attention, but he would often politely excuse himself, leaving her feeling dejected yet again. Thus, the cycle of her unrequited admiration for Dan Heng continued, with her hopes diminishing each time he showed no interest in engaging with her. Despite this, she couldn't help but continue to admire him from afar.
One day she announced that she would be having an individual expedition to a planet in a neighboring galaxy, explaining that it caught her eye and she felt compelled to explore it further, especially when the planet is rich in unique flora and fauna that she had never encountered before. It was all thanks to Himeko that she suggested this new adventure of hers.
Of course, most of the Astral Express crew members were supportive of her decision and wished her luck on her journey.
Upon her return after months of exploration, she was surprised to see a new crew member, Caelus, and she immediately welcomed him with open arms, flashing her signature warm smile.
Afterwards, Caelus and [Y/N] instantly clicked and formed a strong bond, sharing stories of their adventures and discovering they had a lot in common.
Their friendship grew stronger with each passing day as they continued to explore the wonders of the universe together. They had each other's backs when danger lurked, and they celebrated each other's victories with the rest of the crew. They both shared secrets with each other that they swore to keep safe, solidifying their trust in each other.
Caelus revealed to [Y/N] that he had a Stellaron inside his body, which prompted numerous questions from the girl about how this was possible, but the latter had no idea how it came to be. He had also encountered the Aeon of Destruction, Nanook, after trying to save March but then losing control of himself in the process. Though he was grateful for Welt for stepping in and helping him regain control before things got out of hand.
Nevertheless, he was still accepted by [Y/N] for who he was, regardless of the mysterious power within him. He looked at the girl's warm smile and felt a sense of relief, knowing that she accepted him despite his strange circumstances.
Meanwhile, [Y/N] revealed that she experienced loniness during her expedition a few months ago. She missed the company of her friends every day, as she sometimes imagined that they were still by her side, providing comfort and support during difficult times.
She also missed being around Dan Heng and always wonders if he's doing well on his own adventures. The healer wishes to give him a big hug upon her return, but knowing that he may not feel comfortable with physical affection, she plans to simply greet him like a friend should do.
Caelus caught the sadness in her eyes as he faked a cough, trying to distract her from her thoughts as he tried to change the topic about dreams.
Well, Caelus shouldn't be surprised by her answer; [Y/N]'s dream was to be with Dan Heng, and she wants to build a relationship with him beyond friendship. She knows it may not be reciprocated, but she can't help but hold onto hope that one day they can be more than just friends.
[Y/N] asked the latter what his dreams were, her eyes gleaming with curiosity as she awaited his response.
Caelus pondered his answer carefully as he replied. "My dream is to travel alongside the Astral Express until I reach the edge of the universe, exploring new worlds and discovering hidden secrets along the way,"< he said with a wistful smile.
The girl laughed and nodded in agreement as she relates to his sense of adventure and wanderlust. "Now, that's the spirit of a Nameless!"
It made Caelus blush slightly, feeling a warmth in his chest at her words, before he laughed as well.
After the conversation, which took place months ago, Caelus has been trying to play wingman and has been harboring strange feelings for the girl. He had tried to brush it off multiple times as he kept reminding him he shouldn't mix business with pleasure, but every time he saw her, his heart raced and his mind wandered to scenarios beyond their friendship.
The way her aura is contrasted with her personality is always so lovable and warm, yet with a hint of mystery that intrigues him even more. He was so infatuated by her that he finds himself constantly seeking her company and making excuses to spend time together, despite his internal conflict.
It feels wrong to think that he wishes he should be in Dan Heng's place instead, relishing in the attention and affection she gives him. His heart aches whenever [Y/N] acts so lovey dovey with Dan Heng, and he can't help but feel a pang of jealousy.
He soon realized that he was in love with [Y/N] and a victim of unrequited love, a feeling that both tormented and consumed him.
He was nearly at his limit right now, given the circumstances.
He doesn't want to stand and watch [Y/N] love someone who isn't him anymore. He doesn't want to be the fucking wingman anymore; he wants to be the one receiving [Y/N]'s love and affection instead of watching from the sidelines. He has given enough hints to [Y/N] about his feelings, but it seems like she is oblivious to his feelings. He tried complimenting her, touching her gently, and even spending more time with her, but nothing seemed to make her see him in a romantic light.
He wants her all to himself, only wanting her happiness and love in return.
He can't stand hiding his glare whenever Dan Heng is around [Y/N], pretending to be supportive while feeling burning jealousy inside. He's been patient, but he's reaching his breaking point.
Caelus rose from his bed and exited his room with an unreadable expression on his face. He makes his way to [Y/N]'s room as he knocks three times on the door, waiting for her to answer.
"Wait! Give me a second!" Her voice called out from inside. Fuck, even her voice was enough to make his heart race.
The door slides open, and he sees her standing there, a smile on her face that doesn't quite reach her eyes. She was still beautiful despite wearing a simple t-shirt and shorts.
He huffs and suddenly embraces her in a tight hug, needing the comfort of her presence more than ever. The scent on her neck was intoxicating, and he felt more greedy for her affection than he had ever before.
She pulls away slightly, a hint of concern in her eyes as she looks at him. "What's wrong?" she asks softly. [Y/N] was surprised about how Caelus was behaving, knowing he usually kept his emotions guarded.
Caelus kept hugging her as he began to step forward, his voice barely above a whisper as he finally admitted, "I just really need you right now." He held her head as they both landed in the girl's bed while the door behind them clicked shut.
He was on top of her, his weight pressing down on her as he buried his face in her neck, yet the girl didn't resist, as she couldn't process what was going on and why Caelus was acting this way. Her mind raced with questions, but she remained still, trying to understand his sudden vulnerability.
"Caelus?" "I want you, [Y/N]" Their voices simultaneously filled the room, breaking the tense silence that had enveloped them. The girl's eyes widened in shock as she processed his words. She let out a quiet "huh."
Caelus slowly lifted his head from her neck, his eyes searching hers for a reaction. "I've wanted you for so long," he whispered, his voice filled with longing. He began to plant small kisses on her collarbone, his hands trembling slightly as he held her close.
It was ticklish, but she didn't dare move. She gripped Caelus' shoulders, unsure of how to respond. It feels like a dream, she thought, but it's not right.
[Y/N] gently pushed him away as she looked away, her heart racing with conflicting emotions. "Caelus, you know I have feelings for Dan Heng." Her cheeks flushed with embarrassment as she tried to find the right words to let him down gently.
Caelus scoffed. "Dan Heng? That guy doesn't know how to treat you right," he muttered, a hint of jealousy in his tone. His hand slowly caressed her cheek, trying to persuade her to give him a chance. "I've always been here for you, [Y/N]. Just give me a chance to show you how much I care," he pleaded, his eyes searching hers for a sign of hope.
[Y/N] looked at him with a mix of guilt and uncertainty, torn between her feelings for Dan Heng and Caelus's unwavering devotion. She knew she had a difficult decision to make, one that could change the course of their friendship forever.
As she pondered her next move, she was snapped out of her thoughts by the sudden kiss on her cheek from Caelus, causing her to blush and feel a rush of conflicting emotions.
"You don't need to think about it anymore," he whispered softly, his finger brushing against her lip. "I'm the one you truly want to be with."
Caelus began to lean in for a kiss, his lips hovering just inches from hers, and in that moment, he had closed the distance between them, his other hand squeezing her hand gently as their lips finally met in a passionate embrace.
The latter quickly pulled away as he took off his shirt, revealing his toned chest glistening in the moonlight and a look of desire in his eyes as he leaned in closer to her.
He took her hand and guided it to his chest , allowing her to feel the rapid beating of his heart beneath her touch. "It beats for you; I'm so crazy in love with you," he whispered, his voice husky with emotion. Then he slowly lifted her hand to his face, placing a soft kiss on her palm before pulling her in for another kiss, their hearts racing in sync with each other's.
[Y/N] was enjoying this regrettably. She let out a quiet moan when Caelus gently nibbled on her bottom lip, eager for more of his affection. Her hand running across his chest only fueled his desire for her, as he deepened the kiss with a passion that left them both breathless.
Then Caelus pulled away to kiss her neck, trailing soft kisses down to her collarbone until he bit down gently, causing her to gasp in pleasure. His other hand slowly trailed up her neck to her hair, gently tangling his fingers in her locks as he whispered, "You drive me crazy."
He continued to suck on her collarbone, leaving a trail of marks on her skin as she arched her back in response to his touch. It made Caelus proud to see the effect he had on her, knowing that he was the one who could elicit such a passionate response.
He chuckled lowly , reveling in the power he held over her in that moment. "I bet he didn't know what he was missing," he murmured, savoring the taste of victory.
The two continued their night of passion, lost in each other's embrace, completely consumed by the fire that burned between them. As the night wore on, their connection only grew stronger, leaving them both breathless and longing for more.
Caelus wrapped a protective arm around her, feeling a sense of contentment wash over him as they lay together in the afterglow. He notes how beautiful [Y/N] looked while sleeping in the dim light, her features softened by the glow of the moon filtering through the window.
Not to mention, the red marks he had left on her neck served as a reminder of the intensity of their shared desire, a physical manifestation of the passion they had unleashed upon each other.
He leaned in to press a gentle kiss on her forehead, whispering softly, "I love you," before settling in to join her in peaceful slumber.
Ultimately, he was once a victim of unrequited love but now finds solace in the reciprocated affection he received from [Y/N].
Caelus loveeees putting you in a trash can meangirls style and fucking you from behind, even better if your arms are tied and your legs won’t stop kicking
