“Oh, hello, beautiful, I’m loving your outfit! Wait a second, is that my lipstick you’re wearing?! You know you could’ve just asked to borrow it.. Well, if I ever need a touch-up, I’ll be sure to steal some off your lips~.”
𖤐 Mina requesting to swap lanes to be with Reader

“Get your PAWS off my Moonlight, Pocket! Are you okay?! Don’t worry, they’re never going near you ever again, I’ll be sure of it!”

𖤐 The Doorman assists in Reader’s kill
“Thanking me? That was most certainly all you. You really showed them no mercy~..”

“Boo! Haha, your frightened face is so adorable! Apologies, Darling, I just wanted to make sure everything was okay in York Lane. And from the looks of it, you have it all under control.”
𖤐 The Doorman protecting the Reader
“You went through my door just in time! And you managed to take out the Bookworm on your way out? I’m quite impressed~.”
𖤐 Adjusting the Doorman’s clothes after a fight
“I’m flattered, Dear. It’s somewhat comical; usually, I’m at your service. I hope you know that the Baroness will always have a room for the two of us~.”

SYNOPSIS : what the deadlock characters would gift you for valentine’s day, and how they’d spend the special day with you!
TAGS : valentine’s day post, fluff, masterlist, short stories/oneshots, cute scenarios, can be interpreted as platonic or romantic (for certain characters of course), vague-ish because i wanted to write secnarios generally most people would enjoy with their favs, alcohol mentioned (infernus route), mentions of grief (grey talon route), massages (doorman route).
NOTE : writing this really reminded me of the dating headcanons i would read for my fav characters back in the day. i couldn’t write all the characters in this post bc i got busy with life, but maybe next valentine’s day i can include the other characters! i also wanted to post this around valentine’s day so i had to make some sacrifices.

why do ghouls fall in love m.list!
ཐི♡ཋྀ The Baroness was completely booked on Valentine’s Day, which makes sense, but what people didn’t know is that the Doorman had rented every room just so you could enjoy the Baroness and its services alone. This is a gift he must give you to show his gratitude because you’re the most interesting human he gets to observe and dedicate himself to.
His favorite human for showing him what it means to be just that: human.
The day starts with you waking up to the delicious smell of your favorite breakfast foods. Opening your eyes, you’re suddenly surrounded by the warmth, plush pillows, and comforters belonging to one of the suites at the Baroness Hotel. Not too far from you is the Doorman pushing a breakfast cart towards the side of the bed.
If you’re comfortable, the Doorman would love to personally feed you. Today, he wants to treat you like royalty. The Doorman’s got you, so don’t even think of lifting a finger today.
After breakfast, it’s spa services. Massages, facials, you name it! Today is about relaxation. The Doorman has always been a giver, and he finds great enjoyment in watching your content and calm expressions as every muscle in your body relaxes. The session is filled with small talk with your favorite fragrance dancing around the room from the scent machine, a comfortable quietness that neither of you thinks is worth interrupting, just enjoying each other’s presence and company.
The Doorman nearly forgets to blink, forgets to breathe, though I guess he doesn’t need to. Your precious skin underneath his hands is something he lovingly worships, whispering to himself all the things he adores about your soul.
The whole experience feels euphoric; you’re sure you’ve nearly fallen asleep between each touch. He’s gentle, yet firm, making sure he really works through all of your tension.
Such an exquisite human; The Doorman can admit that. He’s been blessed by your being on a special day for the living. Love has always fascinated the Doorman. He wonders what love looks like. What does it feel like?
They’re questions that ring in his head as we transition to the hotel lobby, embracing your form in a little dance, a slow and intimate song humming from the gramophone. The skin of his hands touching your own, he can't help but feel the gentle expression that takes over his features. With you, it’s hard to control his form. You feel so fragile in his hold; he’d mend and mold himself to match you, to protect you, to love you.
When he looks down at you, into your [color] eyes, the smile that never leaves your lips, perhaps he’s perfect the way he is.
His arms outstretched, putting you in a spin, you’ve easily become his whole world. Or maybe you were the sun, with the way you radiate and brighten your entire surroundings, the way you radiate and brighten against him.
In all the years the Doorman has been living, somewhere deep inside him, in his heart, in his soul, he knows that there is no one in this whole universe, in all dimensions, who is like you.
SYNOPSIS : what the drifter would gift you for valentine’s day, and how he’d spend the special day with you!
PAIRING : the drifter (deadlock) x gn!reader.
TAGS : 500+ words, fluff, inexperienced!drifter.
why do ghouls fall in love m.list!
ཐི♡ཋྀ Drifter has no idea how it happened. He was known as the cruel and bloodthirsty Drifter, who tore down and broke all vampiric traditions and stereotypes. He didn’t care for status, riches, eternal youth, romance, or love. He was above those things. That’s what he told himself, that’s what he believed. But lately, it feels like his heart and mind have been disobeying him. His heart left his ribcage and found home on his sleeve.
The Drifter somehow found himself fancying you. It kind of scared him, the feelings he harbored for you as they grew more and more each day. These feelings made him feel small, vulnerable, and weak.
He hasn’t felt like this in centuries.
After meeting you, getting to know you, the way he felt about his feelings started to change. You’re comforting, nostalgic, and you feel like home. The Drifter has always lived his life selfishly, but if he was given one last selfish act, it would be to stay by your side.
Valentine’s Day was fast approaching, and the Drifter knew he needed to get you something special.
But how do you get the right gift for your special someone when you haven’t given a gift to anyone in ages? These aren’t questions or thoughts that typically run through the Drifter’s mind.
But as the Drifter looks into the glass window of a jewelry shop, the perfect gift seems to have arisen.
You’ve left your mark on Drifter’s heart, as if you owned it, and he was going to make sure he’s left a permanent one on your own.
When Valentine’s Day finally arrived, the Drifter was quick to show you the matching necklaces he had gotten for both of you. Don’t ask him how he got them.
Or do! When figuring out what to get you, like a giddy puppy, he so badly wanted to tell you what he had planned to get you days in advance. It’s not his fault; every time he spent time with you, it was like the butterflies swirling in his stomach wanted to creep up his throat, daring him to let slip the special gift idea he had for you.
He swears you’re killing him slowly.
When you choose to walk next to him, and as closely as possible. The shine of your necklace is never able to outmatch the beautiful glimmer of your eyes as the moonlight reflects off them.
The Drifter is completely transparent with you; this isn’t something he’s used to doing. There’s no one else in this world he’d go the extra mile for. The night reflects that as you both take a relaxing stroll together, the Drifter’s arms wrapped around your figure, holding you close, protecting you as you converse back and forth.
His hold on you is firm, and to most it may be suffocating, overwhelming. But to you, it’s exactly what you need.
You’re the person that haunts him when he closes his eyes, and he swears that even in the dark, he still sees your outline, your lovely shape.
SYNOPSIS : what billy would gift you for valentine’s day, and how he’d spend the special day with you!
PAIRING : billy (deadlock) x gn!reader.
TAGS : 500+ words, fluff, mega tsundere!billy.
why do ghouls fall in love m.list!
ཐི♡ཋྀ You wouldn’t think Billy would be the type to shower the people he loves and cares about with gifts on this special day, but you’d be wrong. In fact, Billy is the type who plans out gifts way in advance. Holidays are so conformist, but his love for you isn’t.
What people don’t give Billy credit for is that he’s observant; his gifts are sweet and handmade, showing you just how much he pays attention to you.
Attached to your waist is a little plushie that looks like you, because Billy remembers the time you pointed out the goat plushie he often brought along with him. He remembers letting you hold it, awing at the craftsmanship, hugging it close. He’d steal it back from you, turning his face in embarrassment, wishing it were you giving him hugs. But the memory of your happy face holding the little plushie made him realize he needed to do something to bring it back.
Adorning your figure is a jacket that Billy has taken the time to decorate just for you. Billy points at all the designs he’s added in fabric paint and what they all mean. There are handmade pins, grommets, chains, studs, patches, and spikes that litter the garment. He’ll help you slip the jacket over your shoulders, letting your arms rest in the sleeves. When he takes a step back, he’s in awe. You look amazing.
Billy rubs the back of his neck, flusteredly telling you how he tried not to go too intense on the design, just in case you wanted to make it yours with your own embellishments.
You can only smile, rushing to his body with your own, embracing him. Billy may be caught off guard, but he will always return your hugs. Your warmth is something he never realized he’s been missing in his life.
Billy then would slip a cassette tape into your hands along with a portable player: a mixtape with the list of songs he’s lovingly and selectively chosen that either reminded him of you, or songs he thought you may enjoy. It’s a gift you can’t enjoy at the moment, after all, you’ve got a concert for two that Billy has bought the tickets for. But whenever you do listen to it, you realize just how lucky you are to have met someone who knows you so intimately.
The concert is wild, featuring several punk bands performing that night, with loud music resonating within your heart.
Billy sticks by your side the whole night, whether that’s choosing to be off to the side, just enjoying the music. Unless you’d rather get closer to the stage, dancing and singing your hearts out. Or maybe you want to be in the pit, then Billy makes sure no one is too forceful or aggressive with you. Your Billy is protective; he won’t hesitate to ram into anyone with his horns if that means you feel safe and get to thoroughly enjoy yourself at the concert. Kind of like your own bodyguard! He knows you’re strong; he knows that all too well, after all, your strength is one of his favorite things about you. But tonight, he doesn’t want you to worry at all about being strong. Let him take care of everything and have you enjoy yourself.
