hii duda!! i wanted to ask how theodore would be like with dating someone outside of the usual british hogwarts kids snd instead like korean, brazilian, vietnamese, etc. :)) i dont have anything specific but im curious abt he feels abt the food, the holidays, affection culture (me and my family aren’t affectionate cause we’re asian lol, but im super clingy and close with friends and partner!!)
theodore nott x foreigner!reader.
i believe theodore faced some prejudice when he first arrived at hogwarts—an outsider not by choice, but by origin. italian, not british. the judgmental and curious looks from kids in his own house (and all the others too, if we're being honest) nearly pushed theo towards a spiral of bullying. but theo already wore a hard shell at eleven, built from a childhood that forced him to grow quickly, combined with the unconditional support of mattheo—a boy a bit more violent than any other kid at his age should be, who received those same chauvinistic looks because of the person who brought him into the world. together, they made it clear that theodore was no boy to be mocked. and so, he eventually earned his place at hogwarts.
with that said, i think theo would subconsciously gravitate toward a foreign girl. who could understand an immigrant better than another immigrant?
you would understand him in ways that anyone ever could. better than anyone when it came to language barriers. even though both of you were very strong english speakers, some questions about prepositions—in, on, or at, please, which one now, for the love of god?—and uncommon words always sneak their ways into you. he’d help you with grammar, because theodore had always been exceptionally gifted at writing and understanding the logics of language, and you’d help him with his pronunciation, because his thick italian accent sometimes bothered him, no matter how many times you told him it was cute. step by gentle step, the two of you would climb your way to the top of the staircase of complete english fluency—or at least something close enough to it.
when it came to cuisine, theodore would try his best to step into your world, because cooking was one of the purest forms of love he knew. if you are from asia, for example, the flavors of seaweeds and exotic condiments would catch him off guard a bit, because they were uncommon from the western culture he grew up in; yet he’d discover tastes that reshaped his palate. if you are latina, theodore would be somewhat horrified by the variations of the typical italian dishes he was raised with—but he would fall in love with your cuisine all the same. mexican tacos, feijoada, brigadeiro, and the bright, intoxicating and alcoholic caipirinhas from brazil (because of course theodore would love the mix of alcohol and local fruits), argentine alfajores… he would savor them all. after a trip to meet your parents, he would definitely need to work out thrice as hard to lose the weight he gained from being spoiled by those he now loved.
theo would be tender—achingly respectful—when it came to clothing and physical touch. if you came from a more conservative cultural background, theo would adjust his clothes and behavior accordingly without hesitation, aiming for the highest respect. wherever in the world you were from, he’d honor your cultural etiquette and boundaries about affection that might be considered too intimate for public display; that part would be the hardest for him, because italians are naturally warm and expressive. still, he would never risk to cross a line—and honestly, he’s terrified of appearing a poorly raised boy. during your holidays, theo would strictly follow the guidelines he read online about your country with comical seriousness, but once the festivities began, everything would simply come naturally to him. like a chameleon, he’d blend in among your relatives, and if his heavy accent weren’t so obvious, maybe one day he could even pass as one of them.
wherever you came from, theodore would do everything he could to integrate himself into your culture—and bring you into his. he would love learning about your customs and traditions, absorb your stories and seek, always, to know you more deeply.
Summary: Your first language isn't English, but that doesn't bother Matt. He loves you even with your language barrier.
Warnings: swearing, nicknames, teasing, reader is danish, fluff
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You moved to America from Denmark when you were eighteen, you're now twenty and in two years you've learned the English language well, but some words you still struggle with.
In the two years you lived in America, LA to be exact, you became friends with Nick Sturniolo. You met him at the store one day whilst struggling to understand what the ticket on the shelf said.
From that day on, Nick took you under his wing, showing you around and teaching you some more English. This led to you becoming close with Chris and Matt.
Matt Sturniolo. First a friend, then your boyfriend. You have been dating for a few months now and with Matt, sometimes talking wasn't needed. A hug or a kiss was enough.
You still struggled with some words, or often switched between Danish and English. The guys teased you for it and you had some inside jokes, but overall they loved you.
You were sat on Matt's bed, playing on your phone as the TV played randomly. He, Nick and Chris had gone to film and then get food before coming home so you were just waiting.
An hour went past before you heard footsteps. A few minutes later, Matt walked in with a smile.
"Hey sweetheart, we're back with food." He said, kissing your cheek.
"Did you get what I like?" You asked, making him laugh.
"Of course, darling." He answered.
You smiled and pecked his lips as you both went and sat with Nick and Chris, the two erupting into loud conversation about the video or a funny video they saw. You listened and smiled as you ate.
"Wanna go watch a movie, sweetheart?" Matt asked once you finished eating.
You nodded as you both went back to Matt's room, cuddling in his bed. Matt started scrolling through for a movie to watch.
"This one?" He suggested.
"Ja." You answered, making Matt giggle softly.
"That's yes right?" He replied.
"Yeah sorry." You replied.
"No baby, it's cute, I love it." He responded, kissing your forehead.
"Jeg elsker dig." You said with a big smile.
Matt returned the smile but a slightly confused look was on his face. You giggled and kissed his lips.
Being Asahi’s Crush Part Two: Operation GAG brought to you by Suga’s schemes
Notes: Welcome to part two! Part one is here :)
Description: headcanons about suga scheming and hinata being precious, part two of four
Characters: you, karasuno’s vbc
Warnings: you get hit in the head with a volleyball and somehow sprain your wrist in the process
Word Count: 1.8k
I wholeheartedly believe that this man knows how to give gifts
Look at me and tell me he wouldn’t know exactly what to give everyone he loves
That being said, he doesn’t know what to get you
He likes you so much and with the cultural difference, he doesn’t want to offend you/make you uncomfy or do literally anything that would ruin his chances with you
Hell he wouldn’t want to ruin the friendship either because you’re one of the only people not to judge him off his looks alone
So now he’s in an awkward stage
When is he not in an awkward stage lets be real
Anyways our lovely and chaotic sugawara notices this immediately
He devises a plan
Thus creating Operation Get the Ace a Girl, or Operation GAG
Okay maybe the name could use some work
But the plan is going to work, yeah?
Well…
Let me explain
There were three phases
Phase one: they spend time together
Phase two: they confess to one another
Phase three: they get together and make beautiful babies
Easy peasy lemon squeezy
Except you aren’t in the same year which means you aren't in the same classes
And it appeared that you were very busy after school
And they don’t know what you like
…
Okay this is gonna be harder than he thought
But never fear, karsuno’s goddess Kiyoko has a loophole
“It may be a good idea to recruit another manager to keep Hitoka-chan from getting overwhelmed next year.”
Kiyoko you brilliant woman queen goddess
Now suga has another plan to devise
Commence Operation Recruit the Foreigner or Operation RF for short
Much better than operation gag if i do say so myself
But for this to work, he needs help
Help from a certain ray of sunshine
From some light stalking asking around, he found out that you enjoyed tutoring elementary and middle school aged kids in your spare time
So he recruits Hinata, the babiest baby to ever baby ever
He doesnt tell hinata the whole truth, just that he should ask the foreign second year for help in his foreign language class and if things go well, he should see if she was interested in becoming their third manager
Hinata, you sweet summer child you
Baby boy didn’t even consider that his senpai could have ulterior motive for having another manager
But alas, he asks
And how can you say no??????? He hits you with 🥺 when asking for help
Seriously only a monster could say no
And so it begins!
He explains that it would be best to study near the gym so he can make it to practice on time
You shrug, honestly not caring all too much
But then he invites you to stay and watch because he wants his cute senpai’s praise and attention and he wants to show off a bit, sweet tangerine has a small puppy crush
ANYWAYS
You say yes, because as we’ve established, you genuinely enjoy playing and watching volleyball
You two are there first and he’s talking so so so fast and showing you everything with no regard to whether you know anything about volleyball or not
Your heart melts because AH HE'S SO EXCITED
Like hinata is such a cute lil guy and he wants to share the things that make him happy because it could make them happy toooooooo
As you can see, i am platonically whipped for precious #10
And so are you, Y/N, I’m happy we have something in common
OKAY BACK TO THE PROGRAM
So the next people to come are obviously the captain and the coach
You feel a bit bad for crashing practice so you explain that you were helping Hinata with his course work and he asked you to stay
Daichi smells something fishy
He knows suga’s schemes when he sees them
But he agrees and so does coach ukai on the stipulation that you aren’t a distraction
Thats a lot ask lmao these boys have two moods: volleyball and girls
I mean… same
But this can go one of two ways:
You distract everyone
You motivate everyone to play their best as to impress the new girl
spoilers its the second one
Suga thought it was going to take a minute for the plan to really kick in, but he was pleasantly surprised to see you at practice
He didn’t tell asahi you were there
He was gonna wait cause hes a bastard that loves drama
Again, same
So everyone shows up and practice is about to begin
Hinata is an oblivious bb that is somehow unaware of the absolute chaos that is about to ensue when he excitedly announced that he asked the pretty second year to watch practice
Deadass Hinata is like
“I GOT Y/N-SENPAI TO WATCH US TODAY :D”
How he said :D idk but he did and it was precious
Tanaka and Noya get whiplash from how hard they turn their heads to where you, Yachi, and Kiyoko are standing
You smile and wave at them while you promise not to be a bother
“Oh, Y/N-san, you’ll never be a bother to us!” Suga reassures while elbowing asahi
Asahi.exe has stopped working
He was conflicted
He wanted to show off because you like volleyball
But he doesn’t want to fuck up and make a fool of himself
At this point coach ukai was getting impatient and practice starts
You chill with yachi and kiyoko
Yachi asks you if you were a model and felt like throwing herself into the sun when you said no
You talk about your old school and how lucky the boys were to have managers as nice as them
Kiyoko offhandedly mentioned something about needing another manager for next year when she leaves so Yachi isn’t alone wink wink nudge nudge
You say you’ll think about it
Kiyoko is pleased
Yachi is shocked at how slick Kiyoko is
Lets be real here, kiyoko knows
She knows
What does she know?
Everything
She knows about suga’s plan and she wanted in even if she didn’t say anything
All she needed was a few minutes after hinata wooed you with his precious boy tendencies and she had it in the bag
But would this be a haikyuu headcanon set without someone getting hit in the face with a volleyball?
No
No it would not
Let the headshots begin
This time, it is you
Sorry girl
But asahi doesn’t hit you!
I’m pretty sure he would drop dead if he did tbh
Instead its tanaka
Sorry bro, i’ll say some nice things at your funeral
So tanaka is up to serve and at the same time, you’re walking over to grab something
The ball goes out of bounds because tanaka wanted to show off and he hit it with enough force to dent metal
But instead of metal, it was the back of your head
ouch
You fall forward, hitting your head again and land on your wrist as you try to catch yourself
Double ouch
The gym erupts into chaos
Yachi is sobbing
Yamaguchi is shell shocked
Suckyshima is laughing
Kiyoko is getting the first aid kit
Daichi and suga are running to you
Kageyama is stunned
Hinata is D:
Noya is maiming Tanaka
Tanaka is being maimed by Noya
And asahi
Poor sweet baby asahi is furious
But his body won’t move
He just witnessed the attempted murder of his girlfriend fiance wife mother of his children and pets crush friend!!
It takes him a good five minutes to come out of the shock
Now back to you, my friend
So i don’t know any language other than english
I know i know im working on it
But i can imagine that getting hit in the head twice can disorient someone to the point of not being able to process a non-native language for a good few minutes
So when they try to ask if you’re okay and you don’t immediately respond with words they’re concerned
But what’s even more concerning is the look you give them
You look at them like they grew two heads
Everything becomes even more chaotic
Tsukishima actually grows slightly concerned
Hinata is actively crying
Kageyama is yelling that he shouldn't be crying because he was not the one that was hurt
Yamaguchi was yelling for someone to call an ambulance
Asahi is still frozen
Tanaka and Noya are praying lmao
Kiyoko is back with the first aid kit
Daichi and Suga panic as well
They think you’ve forgotten where you are and who you are
Coach Ukai and Takeda, the reasonable adults deescalate the situation like pros
Coach Ukai tells everyone to give you space
Takeda aska series of questions to which you’re like
😃?????
So with his limited knowledge of your native language, he asks if you’re okay and then you nod
Okay everyone breathe a sigh of relief
He helps you up and walks you to the nurse and to get paperwork for the incident
You can’t tell me there won’t be any paperwork for this lmao
After you leave, they try to continue on with practice
Key word being try
Everyone is very worried so it ends early
Shocking, i know
Anyways, they all feel awful about what happened
So when the next day comes and you aren’t in class, everyone assumes you’re dead
Practice turns into a eulogy
Rest in peace my love
Jk you aren’t dead, just navigating an entirely different healthcare system and that takes some time
To make it worse, no one has your contact info and it’s a friday
So they have to go the entire weekend believing they killed you
But then you show up on Monday with a wrist brace
You didn’t break it, just sprained it
Tanaka omg he literally falls to the ground and begs for forgiveness
He thought you would be seething
You were upset at first, but you had gotten over it
You laugh it off
He is s h o o k
it was music to his ears
The third years weren’t lying, you really were super duper chill
When he stands up, you punch his shoulder lightly with your good hand and complement his serves
Again, he is s h o o k
But it was break time and the break was over so you parted ways
Noya deadass had to drag him to his classroom because he didn’t want to leave
Hinata, the sunshine baby boy he is, brought you snacks and cried because he felt so bad
Poor baby was blaming himself because he invited you to watch
Pls hug him tightly and give him all the head pats
You do lol
You give him a small hug after getting permission and ask if he needs help
You keep helping him, but you don’t watch practices
So Operation Recruit the Foreigner fails
P S Y C H
It doesn’t
You actually missed volleyball a lot more than you thought, so you stayed behind one day, wrist brace and all, to talk to kiyoko
She was happy and happily helped you talk to the coach and takeda
They triple checked you were sure after what happened last time
Notes: Soooooooo guess what i did instead of doing homework lol
Description: headcanons about the new student catching the ace’s eye, part one of four
Characters: You, the karasuno vbc (volleyball club), and some random second year
Warning: cultural faux pas are committed, asahi is an awkward bean, and noya and tanaka are being themselves
Word Count: 1.8k
So let's say you’re a second year and a foreigner
That must be rough girl, i do not envy you
You move to the miyagi prefecture for whatever reason and begin at karasuno in the next few weeks
Your japanese is passable, but not amazing
So is your cultural awareness
You definitely do your best, but definitely make some social faux pas like mixing up honorifics or forgetting them all together, bowing too much or not enough, among other things
So you already have a reputation of clueless foreigner preceding you before you even begin school
Once again, my love, i do not envy you
Some people gave you dirty looks and silently judged you
Others thought you were adorable and a little dumb
And others thought it was amazing that you decided to come to karasuno in the first place
It was a bit hard to find things on common, especially because of the mild language barrier
You had one thing in common with a certain crow though
Asahi could never get away from the label “delinquent”
Even though he was a living breathing teddy bear and a gentle giant
Most people took one look at him and ran
You had heard about the terrifying third year that was allegedly running a drug empire under the guise of it being a volleyball team, how he beat up an entire year of boys for not bowing to him, and how he coerced them to be drug runners afterwards
Honestly, you didn’t know whether to write them off or believe them because of how many people said similar things about him
Either way, you ignored it and went about your life in the new country
That was until you got lost on campus one day
Like hopelessly lost
I’m sure someone put out a BOLO for the foreigner
You were looking for some sort of indication of where you were and then ran straight into someone’s chest
You did fall on your ass
And you wanted to laugh and cry at the same time because while it was fucking hilarious, you just wanted to find your way to wherever it is that you’re going
Now asahi had heard the rumors about you too
He had heard that you were a loud, crass, obnoxious foreigner that was nothing but disrespectful
But he deals with the volleyball team loud, crass, and obnoxious people all the time
However his experience didn’t take away from his crippling social anxiety
So here he was, walking and lot in thought when BAM a cute girl slams into his chest and falls down
Asahi isnt dumb, he knows what people think and this looks
He immediately trips over himself apologizing and asking if you’re okay
He feels absolutely awful
You didn’t laugh or cry, but you did feel your face warm up at the cute boy in front of you
You reassure him that you’re fine
He helps you pick up your things because again, sweet baby boy is riddled with guilt
But he sees how lost you look and asks if you need help
Totally not because he wants to keep talking to you, why would you think that, he’s trying to be a good citizen
He helps you get to where you’re going and you thank him profusely and apologize for running into him
You touch his arm lightly out of habit
His face catches on fire
Redder than red
No color corrector is fixing that
Asahi.exe has stopped working
*windows shutdown noise*
ANYWAYS
You realize your mistake and then apologize again, this time bowing slightly
He didn’t speak
He’s lagging
He’s still reeling from the cute foreigner that A) wasn’t scared for her life and B) talked to him semi-openly and C) TOUCHED HIS ARM
After a minute, he tries to stutter a quiet “it’s okay”
Key word tried
He’s interrupted by one of your fellow second years dragging you away from him
She says something along the lines of “don’t you know how dangerous he is???” and “he’ll try to get you to sell substances too”
You're so confused
You were pretty sure you saw an eye mask meant for sleeping that had a bear design on it in his bag when you first ran into him
He's literally a big baby
The gentlest giant
You look back at where he’s still standing and then back at the other second year
“Are you sure????”
They profusely nod
You look at asahi and then at her once again
“Really? Like 10,000% sure?”
The conversation is put to end by more students coming into the area
Over the next couple weeks, you would see the so-called drug lord around campus and you made it a point to smile and give a friendly wave
It always made him blush and his heart race
Seriously, suga and daichi almost took him to the nurse one day cause it looked like he was gonna pass out
Again, rumors travel fast so it was only a matter of time before tanaka and noya found out about the fearless second year foreigner chick that not only lived to tell the tale of how the ruthless azumane kidnapped her
Yes this is what it had become
No it doesn't make sense seeing as you ran into him and accepted the help
Tanaka and noya, ever the opportunists, sought you out for interrogation
Deadass, you were getting ready to go when school was over and ambushed you
You had seen them with asahi a couple times but that was it
The two had a whole ass speech prepared, but forgot it when they came face to face with you
They had seen you from afar, but never up close
And you my dear Y/N, are a sight to behold
Yes you are
Stop arguing with me
What i say goes mkay
They immediately forget everything and just kinda stare
And you”re like ????? can i help you?
And when they hear your accent, they are shocked even further
Stunned
Astonished
dumb
Dumbfounded
Their flabbers are gasted
So you just side step and keep walking
When they finally realize you left, they immediately run to find you
But they stood there for way too fucking long and you were nowhere to be found
So they do the next best thing: hunt down the ace for interrogation
It wasn’t fair, okay?
Why did he get the pretty foreigner??????
So that practice, noya and tanaka are late
Surprise, surprise said no one
Dadchi and sugamama are none too pleased, neither is the coach or Takeda
Instead of excuses, the two chaotic second years scream
“ASAHI WHY DIDN’T YOU TELL US SHE WAS AN ANGEL SENT FROM THE HEAVENS”
I’m pretty sure all of the prefecture heard them
Asahi.exe has stopped working part two electric boogaloo
At any mention of the cute second year waving instead of running in fear, he lost all functioning brain cells
The rest of the team is confused
Hinata tilts his head like a puppy
Kageyama is probably yelling at him
Suga gets his popcorn ready
Daichi is still mad at the second years
Yachi is scared because of the yelling poor thing
Kiyoko is over it, but still mildly curious
Tsukki is very over it with no curiosity
Yams is confused as fuck
Asahi tries and fails to give an explanation
Everyone is bombarding him with questions
“She? As in a girl?”
“Asahi interacts with girls?”
“Did you scare her off?”
“Girl? What girl?!”
“Azumane finally got a girlfriend!”
Daichi yells at everyone and practice goes on
For some reason, you end up in the third years hallway
Lets say you were delivering a paper to another staff member during lunch
And once again, you were lost
Maybe start carrying a compass and a map everywhere you go my love
And once again, you run into asahi
Once again, you fall
Once again, asahi is riddled with guilt
BUT THIS TIME Daichi and Suga see the whole thing
They thought you would be scared or get mad, but instead you blessed their ears with a laugh
“This has got to stop happening,” You joke
He apologizes profusely again while helping you up
Suga does not waste this chance to tease the both of you
“Is this the cute girl that Tanaka and Nishinoya were screaming about? I can see why now.”
Asahi.exe has stopped working part three
Daichi rolls his eyes, but definitely stores this interaction in the back of his mind to use later
“Aren’t you a second year? Why are you all the way over here?”
“Yeah, I am. One of the teachers asked me to bring this over for another faculty member, but I got lost. Again.”
“Again?” Suga asks
You nod and laugh, not taking the situation too seriously “Ahaa, yeah. I think they ask me to deliver things as some sort of practical joke at this point.”
“Well Asahi would be happy to show you.” Daichi says
“Oh are you sure? I don’t want to take up any of your time!”
Suga waves off your concern and comes up with a quick lie “Daichi and I were just about to have a captains-only meeting. Asahi isn’t a captain, so would have kicked him out anyways,”
“Suga is right, we do have some pretty serious things to discuss.”
To you, the mischievous glint in the two captains’ eyes were nothing but them being friendly, but to asahi, it spelled certain death
He stood, still blushing as the two walked off
It takes a minute, but he shows you to the faculty member
And you get to talk to him a bit more
You ask about his friends and the meeting between captains
He can't apologize enough for the behavior of his underclassmen
Most people would be weirded out by it, reasonably so
But then you shock him
“No worries! Actually, I think it's sweet that they care about you,”
So now asahi is taking stock
This is what you have going for you my dear Y/N:
You arent scared of him or his looks
You can laugh off situations that mortify him
You think his friends are sweet
You’re fucking stunning
There was one more thing that he wanted to know
“So I heard you play volleyball?”
Mind blown
You were also psychic
“Uh, yeah, I have for years.”
“That's awesome! I love volleyball. I used to play all the time at my old school, I even managed before I moved.”
That's it
You were perfect
Wedding? Planned
Names of future pets? Picked
Crops? Watered
Skin? Cleared
Hotel? Trivago
Deadass, mans plans your wedding at the spot
PLS HE WOULD GET SO EXCITED
But he would be so shy about it tooooo ugh i love this man so much
What seemed like an innocuous comment to you made up his mind
Encantada De Conocerte, Señor y Señorita - Ashton Irwin | Foreigner!Series
Anonymous said: I love your foreigner series!! Could you do one where ash argentine girlfriend introduce him to her family?
A/N: I like this idea! :) Hope it’s worth the wait! :D xxx
Pairing: Ashton x Argentine!Reader
Warnings: none
Words: 669
Summary: It’s the first time you ever introduce your boyfriend to your parents. It’s going a whole lot better than you expected.
Today is the day you’d introduce your long-term boyfriend to your parents. With him being away on tour so much and your parents living in Argentina still, it has been hard to find a perfect time to fly to Argentina and have a couple of days with your parents. To say you were nervous was an understatement. Your parents weren’t too fond of your relationship with Ashton yet as they only ever read things online and in magazines about him and they weren’t too positive.
“Aye, mamíta!” your mother exclaims when she sees you on her front porch. She embraces you tightly. “Entrar! Entrar!” she says, pointing past the front door. You and Ashton follow her inside, you shutting the door behind your boyfriend.
“Mamí, papí, es Ashton, mi novio. (Mom, dad, this is Ashton, my boyfriend) Ash, my parents,” you introduce him to your parents.
“Encantada de conocerte, señor y señorita Y/L/N, (It’s nice to meet you, mister and misses (Y/L/N)” Ashton says shaking your parents’ hands. You’re a little surprised by how good his Spanish is.
“Nice to meet you too, Ashton,” your father says with a smile.
“Come! Sit! Sit! Tell me about LA!” your mother goes on. Three of you sit down on the sofa while your mother goes off to fill up four glasses of wine. We talk about LA, Ash talks about his job and my parents ask him a massive amount of questions. But I can feel they’re warming up to him.
“Y/N told me you were in a band?” your mother asks him, and you can feel the judgement in her tone.
“Mamí, no,” you tell her, but Ashton puts his hand on your knee, making you feel a little better about it, just like he is.
“Yes, I am,” he replies with a smile. That beautiful smile you fell in love with on the first day you met him.
“What is it like?” she then continues.
“Exhausting, most of the time. It really is, but it’s rewarding at the same time,” he replies honestly. You loved that quality about him; he was always honest.
“The money you mean?” the judgemental tone becomes more and more aparent and it’s bugging you, but it doesn’t seem to bother Ash that much.
“I mean, sure... But the money isn’t everything. It’s the fans and the fact that they support us, no matter what. We went on a three year hiatus and they still came back when we came out with new music after said hiatus. They promote our stuff sometimes better than our promotional team and their stories about we somehow saved them from a dark period in their life. That’s what’s really rewarding. The money is just a really nice bonus,” he explained that perfectly. Your mom’s judgemental expression faded and a smile appeared instead.
“That’s beautiful,” mom says and you can tell she now definitely approves of Ashton. He’s nothing like what they make him seem in the magazines.
“So, what are your plans for the future with my daughter?” dad then starts his questioning. I can’t help but let out a groan.
“Dad!” I say, making him stop. And he does. We continue to talk about life in general instead and about my cringy teenage years. All in alll, the first meeting with my parents went a lot better than I anticipated. And Ashton thought so too.
“Your parents were lovely, (Y/N),” Ashton says when you’re lying in your bed at your parents house.
“They were judging you, but in the end, yeah, they were fine,” you say as you snuggle closer to him.
“They were lovely. As are you,” he tell you before kissing you on the head. With a content feeling you fall asleep in the arms of the person you loved the most in the old bedroom you used to lock yourself up in. Away from your parents. Away from the world. But now, Ashton was your world and there was no point into hiding from him.
The Don’t-Take-Dates-Home-After-The-First-Date-Policy - Calum Hood | Foreigner!Reader Series
anonymous said: Yo foreigner au is a good idea!!! I’m from seychelles and nobody has gosh damn heard of us so yeah Seychellois reader with Calum ma boi
A/N: I have heard of the Seychelles (I have to, being a tourism student). I’m gonna try and do this, hope you like it! :) xx
Pairing: Calum Hood x Seychellois!Reader
Warnings: none
Words: 809
Summary: When you are on your first date with Calum, he asks you about your country and wants to know everything from the languages you speak, to the weather and the people. He wants to know everything.
“I’ve never actually been to the Seychelles,” Calum starts the conversation as the both of you sit down in a booth at the diner he’d picked out for the two of you. You are currently on your first ever date with Calum Hood. You met him the other night at a party of one of your college friends. You came to LA as an Erasmus student to study Law here instead of at home in the Seychelles. You never intended on going on dates as you just wanted to focus on your studies, but when Calum asked you out on a date, you just couldn’t say no to him. Not to those gorgeous deep brown eyes and the beautiful smile. It just seemed merely impossible.
“It’s not really that popular for tourists,” you tell him with a smile as you look over your menu. You order something to eat and drink before resuming your conversation. “It’s sad because it’s a wonderful country,” you explain, your mind wandering off to the beautiful beaches, the wonderful weather and your family. You did miss them a lot.
“What language do they speak? African?” he asks, wondering out loud.
“No, our official languages are English and French, some speak Seychelles Creole or Seselwa,” you explain to him, surprised he wants to know so much, “But I was never taught any Creole or Seselwa. I really want to though,” you say with a smile. Your grandmother speaks fluently Seselwa and you’ve always admired it, but your mom and dad kept that from you. Besides the easy words like ‘yes’ and ‘no’. But other than that, you were just taught French and English. Calum nods his head while thinking of another question.
“What about the weather? Is it warm there all year round?” you nod your head.
“Yeah, it’s around 29 degrees Celsius all year ‘round. Never goes beneath 24, never above 34. So, it’s pretty nice,” you explain, remembering those lessons you got in school about the weather. You had to study it by heart for a test back then and still somehow remembered this.
“That’s so nice!” Calum exclaims, “Tell me more, tell me more!” he almost sounds like either a Grease song or a child wanting to hear more about Santa Claus. You laugh a little before telling the boy more about where you come from. You talk about this Erasmus adventure and how you got here. And he really listens. He listens so intently, you’re scared he might actually hear your heart nearly beating out of your chest. It’s like he wants to know your soul, your heart, your everything. It feels like such a fresh breath of air to get to know someone like this and to find someone who is as interested in you as you are in him.
“You really should take me with you when you go back home,” he tells you at the end of your date as he pays the bill. You had insisted on splitting, but he ignored it and just paid it for you.
“Take me on six more dates and I might,” you say, a sly smirk on your face. You really do want him to take you on more days. This was so refreshing and so much fun. You got to know him and Australia a lot more. He even talked a little about his darkest days a couple of years ago when he was really burnt out from all the traveling and the pressure from the public eye.
“Ah, you’ve got a don’t-take-dates-home-after-the-first-date-policy?” he asks as he puts his wallet in his pocket again. The two of you get up from the booth and walk outside.
“Not if my home is more than sixteen-thousand kilometers away from here,” you reply wittily. Calum laughs a little as he leads you towards his car. You’d agreed on going back to his place to hang out for a while. You felt confident and relaxed around Calum. Enough for him to take you home.
“Oh, yeah, makes sense,” he says with an amused smile on his face. He opens the passenger’s door for you and shuts it once all of your limbs are inside. He jogs to the other side and gets in behind the wheel.
“You really did make me curious about the Seychelles, Y/N. I really want to go there now,” he says while starting the car.
“I will take you someday, I promise,” you tell him. The smile on your face stays for hours on end. You like Calum. You like the vibe he gives off and the happiness he radiates. You like his humor and his sentiment. You like how much he cares about family and even about you after knowing one another for like a day. You really are hoping to take him to your home country one day.
