Can I request Piers with a s/o that has an overprotective Yveltal?S/o wants them to get along and Yveltal just wakes up every day and chooses violence. Yveltal can communicate with people (like a lot of legendaries) but just flat out refuses to talk to Piers out of sheer defiance and dislike and Piers is just as stubborn (Ngl this is a lil oc self indulgent for me haha 😅)
Put halfway under a readmore, because, as usual, it turned out long :)
---------------------------------------
✩You had Yveltal a while before you even met Piers. Through some twist in fate, you and the legendary ended up together, and ever since then, the giant bird had practically been inseparable from you.
☾For better or worse.
✩You knew that Yveltal would give ANY romantic partners trouble. After all, you had to warn guests to avoid certain sections of the room and to NOT make eye contact with the grumpy legendary in the corner. Luckily, nothing major had happened. The sounds Yveltal made whenever someone so much as LOOKED at them kept them far enough away.
✩As much as you loved the Pokemon, they could be a pain. For every moment where you curled up together, burying your face into the bird’s fluffy grey mane, there was at least one moment where you had to keep the legendary from blasting anyone who so much as looked at you the wrong way with a ball of dark energy. It was a lot of work.
☾Heck, you even had to get a huge house just so the Pokemon could fit inside!
✩But, even you didn’t expect so much trouble when you started dating Piers. You told him it would just take time. Surely, the legendary would warm up to him in time… Right?
☾“Hey, Yveltal, can we watch a movie in the living room?”
☾“OPPOSITE SIDES OF THE ROOM. ME IN BETWEEN. That would fine.” The legendary replied. You swore they wore a grin, even though the Pokemon had limited facial expressions. They KNEW what it was doing.
☾And, this was a common occurrence.
✩On Piers’ side, he wasn’t in a hurry. He worked with a lot of tough Pokemon; they all came around when they were ready. If anything, trying to force the bond to form would just backfire. And if it didn’t work out in the end, they could probably learn to at least live together.
☾….Besides that, in complete honesty, he was terrified of the bird. Did they look cool? Definitely. Did he want to get to know them? Of course! Was the death bird capable of killing him and everything in the general area? WITHOUT A DOUBT.
☾To be fair, TECHNICALLY they weren’t a legendary of death. They just absorbed the life force of everything around them. Totally different, right?
☾As much as he told himself that, he still avoided the bird. Maybe time would do the trick, let the Pokemon get used to the idea of him being around?
☾Nine months later, and yeah, the bird is still mad and still rather snappy and growly.
✩Previously, he had tried talking to Yveltal. Tried asking if anything he did was bothering them. Or if he could do anything that would make them more comfortable? Maybe they could strike some sort of compromise or something?
☾Each time, the legendary just glared at him, huffed, and let out a growl before wandering off. Piers took that as a firm “No.”
✩Then, finally, SOMETHING happened.
✩Normally, you took Yveltal with you everywhere. But, every once in a while, the legendary just did NOT want to go into its Pokeball. After about an hour of coaxing, you had to leave to avoid being late for an appointment. Needless to say, taking a violent and overprotective legendary into public is not a great idea. So, you told Yveltal you’d be back soon, emphasized to be nice to Piers, and told your boyfriend you’d be back as soon as possible. And to call if he had any problems.
☾He definitely didn’t want problems while you were away, so Piers just holed himself up in his room for the entire time. He thought about working on some songs, but nothing came to mind; maybe it was because of nerves? He opted to just listen to music instead.
☾Feeling like something new, he turned on a variety online radio station that mainly played metal. A little outside of his normal tastes, but it’s nice to go outside of your comfort zone. Especially during writing blocks!
✩Time went by. With the sun just starting to fall, Piers figured it’d be time to get up and move around a bit. Turning, he froze.
☾He saw a bright blue eye peering into his room through the doorway. It seemed the legendary had its head resting on the hallway floor, watching him. Yveltal was perfectly calm; oddly, it reminded him of when Skuntank was just lounging around.
☾The song that was on ended, transitioning into a commercial break. Yveltal’s eye wided, and they lifted their head. Staring at him, moving their head further into the room to get closer. Piers honestly couldn’t tell what the bird was thinking, but he stood as still as possible.
☾This went on for a couple of minutes. Just a stare down between the two of them. Then- Piers jumped! A song came on, and of ALL things, it had to be death metal. And it started off LOUD.
☾He was about to slowly shift toward the computer to switch it off… But, Yveltal stopped staring at him. Actually, they just laid their head right back down, and closed their eyes. And… rolled over! Somehow, the legendary looked like a Liepard laying on its back. Annnnnnd, Piers heard a crash as the Pokemon knocked something in the hall over with a limb or their tail. He wasn’t about to check it now.
☾Eventually, the song ended, and Yveltal opened an eye lazily. Curious, Piers bought up some other death metal songs. And, just like before, the bird relaxed.
✩The death bird likes death metal?
☾“So… you like metal, huh?” Piers asked, not expecting an answer.
☾“If that’s what this is called, YES.”
☾Piers, surprised, didn’t really know how to respond other than giving the bird a grin.
☾Well, at least it was ONE thing it liked beyond you!
✩So, Piers texted you to head up to his room when you got home. Intentionally, he turned off the music when he heard your steps on the stairs. You went up, careful to avoid stepping on Yveltal, noting how odd it was for the bird to be halfway in the hallway.
☾With a grin, he glanced at you, then put on the music. And, just like that, Yveltal rolled over with a sigh. You were at a loss for words. The ONLY time you ever saw the Pokemon so calm was when you were with Yveltal alone!
✩You two tested it. And Yveltal consistently liked that genre of music! Actually, they liked anything along those lines, even if it was less intense, but death metal was their favorite.
✩So, you put a set of speakers in Yveltal’s room (yes, they had a room), and you now found you could at least compromise with the Pokemon to give you and Piers some time alone now. WITHOUT a grumbling bird next to them at all times.
✩And, slowly, Piers felt the legendary was warming up to him. They certainly weren’t on a friendly basis, but at least Piers could come into rooms now without the bird growling! And, their shared interest in music gave them something to bond over, which was certainly progress. With time, perhaps they could get along?
☾But for now, having a legendary sprawled out across the floor like a cat was good enough for him! Even if it meant their conversations were often nothing more than Yveltal asking him to “MAKE IT LOUDER!”
Raihan with a male s/o who owns a Latias and s/o gets him a Latios?
-------------------
There wasn’t really anything gender-specific that I thought of when writing these, so there isn’t any reference to gender here. I typically only make it gender specific when it needs to be/or it’s deeply connected to the type of request. Hope this is ok.
----------
✩Latios and Latias were rather rare Pokemon, but it was MORE rare for humans to actually see or meet them. Due to their shape shifting capabilities and being able to turn invisible at will, they typically are only found by humans when they wish to be found. By sheer dumb luck, or perhaps fate, you met your pair and they became a part of your time.
✩You usually didn’t flaunt the pair; they were both shy (as is the normal nature for these Pokemon). Plus, there’s always some degree of danger in revealing such rare Pokemon to others, unfortunately.
✩But as your relationship with Raihan deepened, you eventually felt comfortable with revealing those Pokemon to him.
☾Needless to say… He was amazed!
☾Though... he finds pretty much any dragon amazing. But these were different. He had heard of Latios and Latias before, but had never seen them in real life.
✩You took the Pokemon out to the wild area to show off some of their moves. Their Dragon Pulses were VERY impressive to Raihan. He didn’t tell you, but you knew he wanted one of his own. You could feel a slight sense of longing coming from him as he ran a hand over Latios’ feathers, or as he watched the dragons dip in and out of the clouds.
☾That being said… You were surprised the blue dragon type was letting him touch them. Your Latios was even shyer than the Latias, when around Raihan, it seemed comfortable…
✩You thought for a while, weeks actually. You knew he wanted a Latios or Latias. However, finding others was difficult, and yours were a lone pair previously when they were wild.
☾But, you noticed that Latios continually followed Raihan around when the two of you were together. In fact, it almost seemed like Latios was more attached to Raihan than you at this point…
☾But this wasn’t totally surprising. Raihan seemed to have some sort of natural talent in attracting dragon Pokemon. In events and gatherings with a lot of dragon Pokemon around, it wasn’t uncommon for the baby dragons to follow him around. It’s very cute.
☾So… you discussed it with Latias and Latios…You were thankful they could understand human speech. They agreed that Latios would be happy with Raihan, and so long as you two were dating, Latios would be perfectly happy with the dragon type gym leader!
✩With that settled, you gifted him Latios. He was THRILLED. Beyond excited. Just jumped straight onto Latios’s back and zoomed away.
☾….And Latios promptly turned invisible.
☾…….Making Raihan look like he was flying on his own, just sitting on air, zipping through the sky.
☾Needless to say, this was trending for a couple of days. He went right over Hammerlocke, meaning PLENTY of people saw him.
☾You weren’t too happy about it, because it required an explanation. And… well… HOW DO YOU EXPLAIN THAT?! Meanwhile, online sleuths were trying to connect all of the possibilities. Despite heated arguments and people saying they DEFINITELY figured it out, none of them were right.
☾In the end, Raihan just snapped a selfie with Latios, ending the mystery. This ALSO worried you, because… you know. There are plenty of people who would do anything to grab a Pokemon like that.
✩Luckily, Raihan proved himself (even more) formidable with the new dragon at his side. In time, you were confident their bond would protect them, and your worries eased.
✩Once the secret was out, you two were known to race Latios and Latias across the skies of Galar. It was usually a 50/50 chance for who won. Either way, you’d both end the evening on top of the Hammerlocke Stadium, overlooking the city as you unwound and enjoyed some quiet peace together.
Hi! I love your blog, keep up the great work! May I ask for a scenario or drabble in which Kukui's so finds out that he's royal mask? (Let's pretend it was not obvious lol). How would he react? Extra points if you add some fluff *^*
Thank you! I chose to write this scenario in bullet point style. :) This one’s long, so it gets a Read More due to the length.
Also, I’m SO sorry this took me like - ten years to finish. I hope it was worth the wait!
-----------------------
✩Dating Kukui was an experience, to say the least. While you two weren’t living together yet, there was always something exciting going on.
☾It was not uncommon for you to come over and, once his home was in sight, you’d start to hear crashing or crunching or just all around chaos. You were only worried about this in the beginning; eventually, you just learned it was his own type of research.
☾(You had an agreement that you would call before entering, JUST in case. Not very fun, getting a face full of Flamethrower!)
☾And of course, Kukui had many other responsibilities, too. Developing the Alolan Pokemon League was a secret you were in on. Then there were all of the new trainers he had to guide, too. What free time he had was limited, but he made sure to include you in it.
☾….Most of the time.
✩Sometimes, when he was supposed to have free time, he would randomly flake out on you, or say he “had something to do.” Nothing wrong with that, he has his own life, after all. What bothered you is that he wouldn’t usually tell you what he was up to. You were his partner, and you didn’t like the feeling that he was… hiding something from you.
✩Overall, there was a pattern to his absence. He was often gone on the weekends and in the evenings, and it seemed like it came in spurts. He’d be busy for a week or two, then be more available, then he would be busy again.
✩But, you didn’t want to be one of those creepy partners who tried to do detective work or anything like that. You trusted him. You didn’t think he was up to anything weird, or even anything that would hurt you or anyone else. You just wanted to know what he was up to…
✩Eventually, though, you caught him in a direct lie.
✩You texted him to see if he’d be free on a Saturday. He said not during the day; he’d be wrapped up in some pretty tricky and dangerous lab work for most of the day, but would drop down at your house later tonight.
✩You sighed as you saw the text show up on your phone, and told him that was fine. At the very least, you could get errands done before he came over.
☾You went to Hau'oli City to do your shopping, which took a couple hours. You planned to spend a little more time in town, but found yourself tuckered out fairly quickly. You decided to just cut your shopping short, even though there was plenty of day left.
☾You walked back to Iki town, passing the lab as you were about to go through Route 1. You thought for a moment. It was rather odd that Kukui would tell you not to come because he was doing “something dangerous…”
☾Honestly, much of what he does is “dangerous” in your mind. There is basically NOTHING he does that ISN’T dangerous. The man often put holes in the ceiling with his research into Pokemon moves. You had a repair person on speed dial for that very reason.
☾So… If this was WORSE than his normal work… Needless to say, you were worried. You’re not sure why you didn’t think of this before.
✩So, you quickened your pace, slowing when you saw the lab. The bright Alolan sun was shining, the waves lapping calmly at the sand… and not another sound beyond the ocean. Normally, if Kukui was working with the Pokemon, you’d hear all sorts of crashing and banging and explosions by now. Yet, all was peaceful, for the moment.
☾As you approached the lab, you still heard nothing. Taking a chance, you opened the door with your key and went in. All the lights were off. Rockruff greeted you with a happy bark as you turned on the light, the little Pokemon rushing up to you for pets. You gave the Pokemon what it wanted, but were distracted with trying to figure things out. Where was Kukui?
☾And, hardly a second after that thought, you heard the jingling of keys. The sound came from the back door. You waved Rockruff to follow you, just in case you needed protection. It wasn’t a major concern, as Melemele tended to be one of the most peaceful islands, but you could never be sure.
✩As you got to the door, it opened. You froze. Luckily, it ended up being a familiar face: your boyfriend.
✩You both stood there, staring at each for a minute until Kukui broke the silence. “Hey, uh… What’re you doing here? I was going to meet you at your house, right?”
☾You told him you got worried about his research, to which he broke out laughing. “Sorry, Y/N,” he said in between laughs, “It’s nice that you thought of me, but... you know, I’ve been doing this for years! It’ll be fine, promise!”
✩But, something else was on your mind. This has been going on so long, so you just went out and finally said it. You asked him where he went. Wasn’t he supposed to be in the lab all day?
☾He got visibly nervous at this; you knew he wasn’t the best liar. Even when he was trying to hide presents from you, it was easy to read him. His voice usually changes, and his expressions become more animated. He gave you an awkward smile, shifting uncomfortably. “Just, ah, had to move things outside. Was getting way too Overheat-ed for the lab, so I figured the beach would be safer!”
✩You were about to let him off with that explanation, but then noticed something poking out of his lab pocket. Something bright and colorful… Curious, you asked him what it was.
☾He froze again, stuttering a bit. “O-oh, it’s nothing- just something I picked up along the beach, must’ve washed up to shore…”
☾You asked to see it. Kukui did not respond. Eventually, with a sigh, looking defeated, he took the thing out of his pocket and handed it to you.
☾It was something fabric-y, like a stretching fabric. You unfolded it, and… it was a mask? It looked familiar… Red, yellow, green and blue, the colors of some of the more common Pokemon types.
☾Then, it hit you. This was a wrestling mask. Wrestling. Akala. The… Battle Royal Dome… THE MASKED ROYAL?!
✩You stared at him. It seemed so obvious now. The body type (Kukui is surprisingly ripped for a professor), the facial hair, voice, mannerisms… Even battling styles!
☾“So… You’re…” You start.
☾“Yeah… Look, I’m really sorry, Y/N. I should’ve told ya sooner. I just like keeping things, well, separate, you know?”
✩Rockruff whined a bit. The little puppy sensed the tension, and seemed a bit worried. They bit the hem of Kukui’s lab coat and pulled a little. He bent down to soothe the Pokemon. Eventually, you guide them both over to a couple of stools on the other end of the lab. This was going to take a while.
✩In truth, you were a little hurt. You were happy he had hobbies; if anything, relieved. He worked so hard all the time, you’re glad he had something he did mostly for fun. But WHY couldn’t he just have told you?
☾“Why? Why did you hide all this? How long have you been doing this?”
☾He leaned back a bit, rubbing his face before responding. “Well… I wanna do both things. But, in a way, I think most people won’t be able to separate them. If everyone knows I’m a researcher who ALSO fights in Battle Royal challenges, they can’t see past that. Some other researchers are pretty serious, and they might not take my research seriously, after seeing I’m basically a celebrity over there. And, it’s not so bad on the other side, the other fighters don’t really care. But, the fans will sure see me different, you know?”
☾He sighed. You let him keep talking. “Sometimes, I just kinda want a break, Y/N. I love my research. I think about it when I wake up, and it’s the last thing I think about before going to sleep. Well… Most of the time. That’s been changing lately.” He said with a wink.
✩You laugh a little. You knew he loved his research, you didn’t have any problem with it. It was just a part of being in a relationship with a rather passionate researcher.
☾He continues. “But, that’s basically what I like about being the Masked Royal. It keeps me from, like, getting Burn-ed Up. I love all that research, but it’s a break. It’s fun. If everyone knew I was the professor AND the Masked Royal, that’d all be over.”
☾At this point, you began to feel bad. Despite being his partner, you not only didn’t realize he was the Masked Royal (even though it was SO obvious), you didn’t notice how much stress he’s been under. It’s true, he had a ton to do. But he basically always did it with a smile. Just goes to show that even something you love can just be too much, sometimes...
✩And after all that, all you could do was pull him into an embrace.
☾“You alright, Y/N?”
☾You told him yes, but also told him how you felt. As you did so, you felt him hold you tighter.
☾……..Which was awkward, considering the two of you were currently seated on two tiny stools with a little rock puppy at your feet, fast asleep.
☾But as you got to the end of your thoughts, he pulled you into a kiss, one hand resting on the back of your head. Deep, but not sensual - a loving kiss. It lasted just long enough for you to recollect yourself, and then ended with him continuing to hold you.
✩“I’m sorry for putting you through that. I really am. I should have thought how this would’ve made you feel.”
☾You tell him it’s okay; now that everything’s out, and you’ve heard his side, it all makes sense.
✩You let a few moments pass in silence, enjoying being close to him. A thought comes to you.
☾“Think you can get me tickets to your next match?” You ask, smiling up at him.
☾“Uh, sure.” He pauses; his eyes suddenly light up. “Wait, you wanna see me? In a match?”
☾You nod.
☾He jumps up, pulling you up with him into another hug (and knocking over a stool). At least standing and hugging was easier on the back. Rockruff, startled, jumped aside as well, looking up curiously at the two of you.
☾“Next match is tomorrow! How does front row seats sound? You’ll feel the gust with each Darkest Lariat, the heat from Incineroar’s flame, the-”
✩He keeps going. And going. And you let him, happy to see him excited. The rest of the day was spent talking about the Battle Royal, what you should expect, his own thoughts on Battle Royal fighting in general, how he started fighting there… Everything. Basically, he caught you up on everything you missed so far.
✩As planned, you eventually dropped by your house at the end of the day, heading to bed early so you’d be ready for what tomorrow had in store for you.
Hi, I’m just wondering if you know when requests will be open again?
Hello there!
So, I've been in grad school for a few years now. I've even gotten my Masters degree now! :D And, I've been SWAMPED. In short, I haven't had much time to write. Plus, by the time my day is done, writing is the last thing I'm in the mood for.
Next semester looks different for me, as I am nearly done with my coursework! But, that doesn't mean I'll completely have my free time. I will need to start job searching, as well as starting work on my dissertation.
However, with the new games coming out soon, and with my life changes, there is a chance that I may come back sometime next year, perhaps early to mid-year? No guarantee, but that's when I think requests may open again. I would probably wipe most of the requests in the inbox, as I've been stuck on em for a while (may keep a couple, though).
Additionally, as I've mentioned before, I was thinking of making this a multi-fandom account. I was specifically toying with adding Stardew Valley and perhaps Undertale to request choices. On Undertale, there would be increased restrictions, as I am not interested in writing X reader romantic/pairing requests for all characters; would primarily be platonic (which can still include a reader, of course).
But, nothing is set in stone. I appreciate you coming by and checking in, though!
Hi!!! :D I was wondering Piers or raihan with an s/o who has a mischievous gengar who is constantly pulling pranks on them, not because he hates them, but because he just wants attention?? ( if I did this wrong feel free to just ignore )
I chose to do Piers, mainly because half of my requests are currently Raihan related! Plus, could always use more dark type on this writing blog. :)
When Piers began dating you, he had no idea what he was in for. Not in terms of you. In terms of your Pokemon.
Specifically, a rather Naughty-natured Gengar that just wouldn’t leave him alone! You warned him that your Gengar can be a bit of a handful, but he had no idea how persistent the ghost would end up being! And with Piers being a new person in your life… He got the brunt of the Pokemon’s attention!
It started subtly. Maybe the Pokemon was sizing him up?
For example: Often, Piers would come home late at night. Sometimes due to his schedule or concerts, other times just because of his own sleeping patterns. As he walked into his darkened home, it usually took him a minute to get the light. In the half-light from the streetlamps outside, he’d often see shadows. One looked so much like your silhouette that he actually called out to you, only to get no response, with the figure disappearing as he blinked. Sometimes, the shadows would look like strangers, which gave him quite the fright because, you know… he thought someone broke into the house. Only, a moment later, those would disappear, too, along with the unmistakable laugh of a rather naughty Gengar.
Piers realized quickly what was going on. Gengar were well known for manipulating shadows, it was their thing. He just didn’t know WHY the Pokemon was doing this.
But, this Gengar was particularly crafty… The shadows were just the beginning.
So began a routine. Piers would go out for the day. Gengar would do… something. Piers would come home, finding out what surprise Gengar had in store for him.
Once, Gengar filled his ENTIRE bedroom with Air Balloons. You know, the super duper strong balloons that can hold up most Pokemon in the middle of a battle? A word of advice: don’t just grab them to move them aside... you’ll find yourself floating away! (Piers had to wait until you got home to get rescued off the ceiling!) Luckily, they’re easy to pop, at least…
Another time, just before Piers was about to go to a concert, he found EVERY jacket in his closet neatly wrapped in plastic wrap. How the Pokemon managed to pull this off without anyone noticing, who knows. It took him about ten minutes to get just one unwrapped, and he was a little late!
The one that bothered him the most was when EVERYTHING in the bedroom you two shared was suddenly on the ceiling. It was like someone recreated the entire bedroom, down to the clutter, and plopped it on the ceiling. To top it off, you two had JUST come home from a date, so this prank definitely came at a bad time. After tracking down Gengar and returning the Pokemon to his Pokeball, the items and furniture were no longer on the ceiling. And they all crashed down. To the floor. What a mess…
But, as frustrating as this all was, Piers began to realize something…
Gengar didn’t act out when all three of you were together. Or even when the Pokemon was just with you or Piers alone.
He only prepared his pranks when left alone, especially for a few hours or more. At first, Piers thought it was just because the Pokemon saw it as an opportunity... But after realizing that the Pokemon seemed sad when he was returned to his Pokeball or was scolded, it didn’t make sense. If Gengar was just doing this to get a reaction, why would he be so upset?
So, Piers decided to test something. He spent several days with Gengar constantly by his side. And? Gengar was on his best behavior.
But the MOMENT Piers left for an hour, he came back to find his shoes shoved under a couch cushion…
So, he talked about it with you. Mentioned that he thought the Gengar might get bored easily, or maybe his was just lonely. You always attributed Gengar’s behavior to the type of Pokemon he was; after all, Gengar were known for their mischievous, and sometimes dangerous, tendencies.
Piers was good at understanding “misunderstood” Pokemon. Maybe it came with being a dark type specialist? But, while many Pokemon are seen as dangerous or naughty or uncaring, in reality, that often isn't the case. And he was now sure that Gengar was only acting out to get attention.
It made sense. Gengar was so well behaved when you two paid attention to him.
So you two made a deal. Each day, one of you was charged with spending time with Gengar, unless you were spending the day together. In a way, it kinda felt like having a small child, but Gengar was rather sweet when he wasn't playing pranks on others. Luckily, Obstagoon got along well with the Gengar, and could keep the ghost Pokemon busy if neither of you were available for a bit.
At first, being completely honest, it felt like work to Piers. But eventually, it felt strange not having Gengar around. The Pokemon now felt like a part of his family, just like you.
Hello there! While I have my own issues with verbal expression, I am not mute myself, so I hope I did okay. I apologize if anything seems inaccurate. A little short, since I didn’t have much detail on your s/o, and I try not to assume too much! If you want more detail, feel free to send another request. :)
------
Raihan is rather talkative and usually just says what’s on his mind. So, regardless of the reason for your muteness, it’s pretty hard for him to relate to your experience. That doesn’t mean he won’t try, though! In fact, quite the opposite!
Of course, he’d ask you a lot of questions about how things are for you, how you’d prefer to communicate, what you DON’T want him to do, etc.
But… he’d also try to teach himself, too. That mainly took the form of many, many online searches. His search engine history was filled with stuff like “what’s it like being mute,” or “how to talk with mute people,” for quite a while. It wasn’t that he was uncomfortable asking you, he was just trying to learn as much as possible, and wanted to make sure he wasn’t making you uncomfortable.
Overall, his actions will depend mostly on what you want.
Want him to take the lead in social settings, so you don’t have to deal with people who don’t understand you, or might be rude to you? Not a problem at all. If it makes you comfortable and happy, he’s all for it.
Want him to let you handle yourself? Also perfectly fine. While he wants to protect and support you, he knows that going overboard can not only be overwhelming, but he could end up hurting you, too. And that’s the LAST thing he wants.
And should your wants or needs change day by day, he’s a rather flexible partner, so he’ll adapt well!
If you happen to use sign language, he would absolutely want to learn it. Sure, you can understand him without issue, but he wants to understand you! If it helps him get closer to you and gives him another way to communicate with you, that alone is enough motivation.
Is he good at it, though? Not really. He’s kind of a stiff and forceful signer, in a way, which can make him hard to read. But, he tries his best.
However, it’s still easiest for him to communicate with you through written words. Raihan’s Rotom Phone was practically an extension of his body before, but after beginning to date you, he practically always had it in his hand. Sure, you had some informal body language based ways of communicating with him, but to really know what you thought, he’d have to go deeper. Which meant many, many, MANY texts.
If you primarily communicate with text with him, he WILL basically create an emoticon (or emoji for you youngins) based shorthand language. He tends to rely on it when he’s just too tired for words. It’s so much easier for the basic stuff. And best of all, it sometimes makes for some pretty funny results.
Other than the communication differences, a relationship with Raihan isn’t that much different for you than it would be for any other S/O. He doesn’t think differently of you, nor does he treat you differently. You’re his partner, and he loves and respects you.
I love this blog!!! Could you please write relationship headcanons about Tabitha (the male Team Magma admin, but from the remake OmegaRuby) with a reader who is a woman (INTJ) he works with and has a lighthearted rivalry with? NSFW would be great, with him as the dom!
Hi there! I don’t really do the Meyer-Briggs stuff - not really my thing. But I understand it was a way to get your reader’s personality across. So, I mainly went by a few explanations of that type online, although I only integrated it here and there. Hopefully, it’s accurate! Also, since you said “reader he works with” I assumed they were also in Team Magma.
I imagined this took place during the story, but NOT at the climax of the story, if that makes sense!
One last note - included tiny bits of manga lore. Mainly because it’s nice having more to work with for characters with fewer appearances!
I haven’t been feeling up to writing NSFW lately (I have like 5 asks in my inbox that are stuck right now because of it). I’ll release this as SFW for now, feel free to send another ask!
✩When you joined Magma, you were assigned under one of the admins, Tabitha. Well, that was actually a codename, but you knew him only as Tabitha. He’s not always the easiest person to get along with, but luckily, you two were similar enough to where you could see where the other was coming from.
✩You quickly peaked his interest; he frequently complimented your thoughtfulness and overall rationality - critical for a researcher to have! While he seemed to appreciate your perspective, it was hard to get a word in edgewise with him. But when he did listen to you, you felt like he paid attention to what you said. Which meant a lot, coming from him.
☾But, you felt his respect shift into something else. Subtle things caught your attention - it felt like he was testing you. Started asking you to run the calculations he usually ran, asked YOU to do the fieldwork in the more dangerous (read: hot) areas, so on and so forth. At first, you thought he was just giving you the hard work he didn’t want to do, but he seemed awfully pleased when you succeeded. And, he always praised you.
☾Funny enough, he started timing things. How fast could you run the data? Collect that sample? Write the report for Maxie? Initially, he was always faster than you - not surprising given he’s been around longer. But eventually you began to give him a challenge - now that seemed to excite him.
✩Thus, you ended up together. A lot. Whether it was simply staying the lab for 10 hours a day, or having a field work day to examine geological activity, or even thwarting those who would interfere with Maxie’s plans, you ended up by his side more often than not.
☾This went on for months, although it flew by, really. And, while it developed over time, you eventually ended up in a relationship with him.
✩To say Tabitha was dedicated to his work would be factually correct; however, workaholic was a more apt description. The man was relentless. After all, there was always a #3 ready to take his place - and he couldn’t let that happen.
☾So… anyone in a relationship with him would have to adapt to his often hectic work schedule. Of course, he tries not to make things too stressful - he’s not one for constant stress. But, in some ways, that work brought excitement to your relationship. Especially as some of Magma’s plans began to unfold.
☾That shouldn’t be an issue, though. After all, he joined Magma to better the world (and his own standing in it, of course). So, he fully assumes that you have the same goals in mind. (If not, this would require a long conversation…)
✩Tabitha would suddenly be assigned to a seemingly random area (at least, to you, with your limited knowledge), and then the two of you would be off. With him as your boss, he’d just assign you to the mission as well. It was easy to justify needing an assistant.
✩So, one day you might be in Mossdeep, the next, a tiny town covered in ash. The traveling was tiring at times, but it was also the most time you had with him alone.
☾You preferred traveling alone with him. Not just you had him to yourself, rather, he acted differently. Tabitha in leader-mode was more worried about the job being done right; he could delegate, but you could sense he trusted his own abilities more than most other people’s.
☾But around you, he seemed more relaxed, even when you two were working. Was it because he thought you were capable? Or that he just liked being around you? You couldn’t say. But you knew he seemed a little less tense, and that he laughed a LOT more (to the point where it was funny, given he laughs a lot in GENERAL)
✩And, you made the most of your time together. While you were not the most social person in the world, you were still able to convince him that you two should go out on non work related things every now and then. Dinner at a nice ocean side restaurant in Slateport, shopping in Lilycove, even taking a detour now and then to see some of the many ruins that dot Hoenn’s landscape.
✩Overall, being in a relationship with him ranged from completely over the top to each of you doing your own separate thing for days on end. To be fair, you think it worked better that way. It gave you time to recover! Especially after some of the more… memorable dates he took you on.
✩All in all, you looked forward to whatever your future held for you two; given your plans in Magma, you were certain it was going to be bright.
platonic maxie x reader but maxie acts like a dad for reader,,,pls

Ah, a fellow Maxie fan. Me too, just a character archetype I tend to like. :) A little short, since you didn’t give a lot of detail on your reader! Also, there’s a lot of different types of dads out there, so hopefully this is close to what you were looking for!
I also tried a different format this time, as since tumblr's formatting changed since I started, I can't organize things as nicely as I used to. Hopefully this is better! Feel free to provide feedback!

✩Most people assume Maxie is cold. To be fair, they aren’t entirely wrong. Outwardly, he is neither the most friendly person, nor the most open with his emotions. If he sees anyone as a friend, more than likely, they won’t even know it.
✩But… Somehow, some way, you managed to break through to him, and it became obvious that he had a soft spot for you. Most people think the man is ONLY cold and analytic, but he does have a kind side.
☾(It’s mainly just a matter of whether or not he likes you, to be honest!)
✩It started with advice. Out of nowhere. The dude’s kind of a genius (Most of the time, trying to increase the landmass was NOT his brightest moment).
☾And if you think he’ll refrain from telling you what HE thinks is best, uh… He won’t. He’s going to give you his viewpoint or thoughts on that situation. Pretty much every situation actually. Even things that aren’t even SITUATIONS, like, life advice.
☾Sometimes it helps. Sometimes it just confuses or frustrates you more!
☾But, he means well. He wants to teach you. He wants to help you understand. But uh, sometimes the way HE sees things is totally different than how you see them. Or how MOST people see them. That being said, at least you know he cares.
✩In general, he begins to ask more about your interests. And… actually seems to remember?
☾In his mind, NOT knowing what you’re interested in isn’t acceptable; after all, gaps in knowledge are a serious issue! In an effort to try to relate to you, he occasionally finds “memes” about those interests? Except they aren’t usually very funny. 100% Facebook humor, through and through.
☾You KNOW he didn’t get them there, as even he knows to avoid that particular hellsite, but where he got them? Not a clue.
☾What’s even more awkward is that, every once in a while, he’ll bring these things back up in later conversations. Overall, it feels like this:
✩But, while his attempts to relate to you are often humorous, it IS reassuring that he tries. And on more than one occasion, he’s been there when you needed support.
☾...He’s not always the BEST at it, mind you. He can be a little blunt.
☾But on days where it felt like you were repeatedly kicked while you were down, he always managed to find time for you.
☾(Even if that meant he bought his projects with him to your house to listen to you vent.) Literally had his contraption strewn across your kitchen table as he listened. And yes, he listened, he remembered what you said, it was just a little awkward. But, him being there still made you feel better, in the end.
✩Overall, he’s a bit of an unconventional father figure, but like the other things he finds important in life, he tries his best to support you.
