The thing about finishing a series that aired years ago was a bit annoying (on my part at least) because I couldn't find few fanfic of it and it's either I sulk or write something about it.
Pairing/s: Xavier, Zayne, Rafayel x GN! Reader [Separated Established Relationship]
Warning/s: Angst / hurt / comfort

Xavier
He missed you, like a lot.
Despite not getting responses from you, he continues to message you now and then. “Why are you so quiet?” “Did you go to the no-hunt zone alone again?” “Are you hiding from me or is something bothering you?”
Even when he sleeps, he sees you in his dreams, hoping someday you would come back again.
When there’s no Wanderer around, he goes to the places you and him enjoy each other's company.
Then you return – you saw him in the cafe that you and he visited often, he was sitting near the window and the drink that he ordered remained untouched then he saw you walking on where he sat.
He’s not dreaming, is he? He’s not dreaming. “So it’s not a dream? Can I pinch you, (Y/N)?” You gave him a small nod as you sit beside him and he did pinch you – not enough to hurt you of course but just to see if you are actually real, with him. Then without any word, he embraced you. “I missed you a lot when you were gone.”
Zayne
Busy as usual.
Though his co-workers noticed that he’s been checking his phone from time to time so often, “Respond when you have time.” “I saw a hunter wearing their uniform at the airport and… I thought it was you.” are some of the messages that he sent to you, waiting for you to reply, but nothing came.
It’s a weird feeling from him honestly, he missed your presence, your messages – like any updates from you on what had happened on your day. He still hopes that you’re doing okay at least even if you missed your monthly check-ups from him.
He tries not to be angry at you, a bit disappointed but… maybe it’s a personal matter that’s why there’s no word when you left.
Then you return – It surely is a coincidence to see him on the restaurant that you and him had lunch together, you saw him making a snow replica of the cat that you’ve seen a lot here at the restaurant.
With the food that you ordered on hand, you walked over to where he sat. “Is this seat taken?” There was a minute of silence between you two, Zayne registering if it’s really you in front of him and yes it is you. “Is this your way of punishing me?” “No- I, absolutely not..” Then you explained to him what had happened for the past few months, he then gave you a head pat. “Hm, if that’s the case then, can we stop this punishment now?”
Rafayel
He was frustrated for a week or so.
Why did you leave without a word? You are his bodyguard after all, shouldn’t you ask for a sick leave or something before you leave? But you didn’t.
He’s sure to himself that you are capable of taking care of yourself, so why is he worrying too much about you? He still continues to message you even though he knows damn well you won’t respond to him.. “... are you asleep?” “Come find me when you wake up.”
He tried his best to enjoy the things he does every day even if your presence is not there, it’s not really a big deal really. (p.s: it’s a big deal to him to be honest.)
Then you return – His studio was a mess, Thomas already tried his best to cheer him up to tidy his studio but it was always different when you’re there and… there you are facing his back as he continues to paint a new art piece, you assume.
“So you finally decided to show up, huh?” There is the sassy Rafayel you knew, now facing you. “By the way, I went to art exhibitions, sketching and painting alone, no big deal really.” He didn't even realize how much he misses you, with a sigh and giving him an apologetic smile you couldn’t help but laugh lightly on his antics – whenever he crossed his arms and pouts, you couldn’t help but offer him a hug. “... are you mad?” “Hmph. I can’t get mad at you and.. Welcome back my bodyguard.”

“(Y/N)?”
Francis called, but you didn’t respond quickly. You continue to sulk on the couch, covering yourself even more with the blanket, not wanting any light to come through. He noticed you’ve been doing this for days but he didn’t intervene or ask you about it, assuming that you need some time alone from all the chaos that had been going on in the building.
But now he is truly concerned, he takes a mental note to call his boss to have a day off for a few days or so for him to take care of you, his partner. He then removed his bowtie and hat, kneeling down near the couch he spoke quietly.
“Mm.. love? I’m starting to get worried about you.”
He was sure that you’ve been okay for the past few weeks but at the same time he noticed that you’ve been… off like your mind is elsewhere, he felt guilty for not being able to ask you how you’ve been dealing with work or anything that made you feeling under the weather these days, he patiently waits for you to say something at him.
You shifted yourself under the blanket, turning your face over him, your gaze softening at the sight of the man that you always loved. Francis smiled at you as soon as he saw you facing him, before he touch you, he asked ‘Is it okay for me to touch you?’ you then nodded, he then put his warm hand to your cheek, his thumb gently caressing it softly.
“I’m sorry..”
“Mm.. what for, love?”
“I– I’ve been feeling unwell, wasn’t able to do daily task b-because of-”
You trail off with your words, trying to catch your breathing while he strokes your cheek. He also removes the blanket to help you ease even a bit. His silence and attentiveness are enough to give you the courage to speak about what’s been going on with you lately.
“B-Because of what’s been going lately... I– I’m starting to get anxious, it’s stressing me out, I’m sorry if I wasn’t being a proper partner for the past few days..”
Francis was hurt seeing you in this state, while you were busy talking he took a seat beside you on the couch listening attentively to you, his hand intertwined with yours making your shoulder less tense, you avoided his gaze so that he couldn't see the tears dwelling on your eyes.
“... m’sorry the dishes are piling up, the laundry... I- I hope you’re not mad at me, Fran.”
Without uttering a word, Francis’s hands gently cupped your cheeks making you look up at him making you tear up a bit as his thumb brushed the tear on your eye. Brushing the hair off your forehead, he kisses it softly.
“I’m not mad at you, I will never be..”
He trails off, giving you a small reassuring smile, then he leans closer to give you a soft kiss on the top of your nose making you close your eyes to savor the moment, to feel at ease that you’re not alone through this chaos.
“I know you’re a strong one, you always have been, darling.”
You cling to him, both of your arms wrapped around his neck as you cry softly on the crook of his neck muttering incoherent words ‘..don’t want to lose you’ ‘I hope it doesn’t get us, or you-’ his hand gently patting your back to help your tears and hiccups to subside.
“... I hope it won’t get to us too, and always remember that I’ll always be here for you.”
He then kisses the side of your cheek and when he’s about to ask you about doing the chores together– he notices your arm fall loosely on the side; you are sleeping on the crook of his neck, a small smile plastered on your face.
“Mm.. I suppose we can do that tomorrow. I love you (Y/N)..”

You’ve been able to visit Morpheus in his realm from time to time, especially if he’s busy and can’t visit you in your dreaming or in the waking world because of his duties as the King of Dreams and Nightmares and you totally understand that matter. As you walked through his throne room, he was nowhere to be found, luckily Matthew was there, asking where his King went he said that he might be in the library with Lucienne.
Humming to yourself as you walk through the hall of Morpheus castle, you arrive at the destination hoping that Lucienne wasn’t with him you were greeted by Merv whose doing some cleaning as per usual he even opened the library door for you, thanking the scarecrow you went to your way to check how’s Morpheus is doing. He was on the corner of the library, books and stories that every dreamer dreamed stacked and scattered nearby, his eyebrows furrowed seemingly trying to find certain information, clearing your throat to get his attention, he finally looked up in your direction, his furrowed eyebrows ceased and his gaze softened when he saw you. Taking the vacant seat on his side, and seeing how worked up he is from his current state you suggested a certain activity that will somehow ease him up a bit.
“Cockwarming? You are rather naughty, love. We are in the library, any minute Lucienne or the other servants would walk right in–”
“Thrilling isn’t it? I’m sure it will help you relax, you look like you could use one right now, to be honest.”
Morpheus hesitantly agrees to your idea, it was great that he’s on the secluded side of the library and the thought of just taking him in a public place excites you already. It’s been a while since the two of you had shared an intimate moment together so this is a nice chance for the both of you. Helping him unbuckle his pants, you could almost see the outline of his hardened cock through his boxers. Smirking at the sight you see, pulling just a bit of his boxer and letting his cock out, your heart leaps upon seeing him twitching and leaking. Morpheus watches this scene unfold, cheeks flushed and his breathing is almost erratic, he whines.
“Mngh... just sit on it already.”
“Hm.. someone’s eager.”
Pulling down your pajamas alongside your soaked panties, you felt both of his hands grip your hips, pulling you closer to him – his cock pressing lightly onto your folds, while his right middle finger and ring finger gently rubbed your swollen aching clit making you gasp and shudder from his touch. He then slid right into you so quickly, almost immediately hitting your g-spot in one thrust, biting your lower lip to suppress a moan you rolled your eyes back from the sudden pleasure while both of your hands on top of the table for support, Morpheus hands made it’s way to your thighs – gripping it ever so slightly, nails digging onto your flesh he spoke quietly kissing the back of your earlobe.
“I miss you so much, darling.”
“Oh, I’ve missed you so much too, dear.”
Leaning your back to his chest, you could tell that Morpheus is starting to relax and his breathing is now calm and collected despite his cock buried deep down inside of you, his hands gently running through your stomach gently gripping your warm flesh, his lips slowly giving your neck kisses making you purr from his gestures.
“I need more of you, darling.”
Prompt: “Do you think we can cuddle or something?”
Summary: You’ve been having a hard time sleeping lately. You tried several methods such as listening to ASMR or eating melatonin as Markus recommended to you but none of those seemed to work so Markus's last resort was — cuddling.
Pairing/s: Markus RK200 x F! Reader
Warning/s: None. This whole fic is wholesome :> A/N: This fic is long overdue and I’m still feeling somewhat burned out from life so I apologize if the ending wasn’t that good, feedbacks / coffee are very much appreciated!

Being a detective can sometimes be fun and thrilling, but there are also days when you’re stressed or sleep-deprived; apparently, this was one of those days. You missed hanging out with your father, Carl after work but you’ve been working overtime a lot lately. It’s been a week since Gavin, your partner in DPD took a leave because apparently, the bastard got sick - so here you are, overworking again with Nines.
“Detective (Y/N), we can always continue our work tomorrow morning-”
“I know, but these damn papers aren’t going to write themselves.”
“Detective.”
“Ugh, alright Mom.”
You’re too tired to arrange your desk - Nines knew that, or he scanned you at least a few times today worried that you might get sick for overworking yourself, breaking the silence he speaks up “I’ll clean your desk (Y/N), and have some rest, please.” You raised an eyebrow at him, knowing his cold or sometimes distant attitude this was new to you but too tired to tease him about turning into deviant although every androids have rights, ever since Markus's peaceful demonstration won - but you can tell that Nines is just being… tsundere if you want to call it that way.
“Alright, thank you so much again Nines. I’ll see you tomorrow.”
—
Grabbing your things, and wearing back your coat you get out from the precinct towards your car. You checked your phone and you got three missed calls from your father, and since it’s late he’s probably asleep by now so you decided to call Markus.
“(Y/N)?”
“Hi, uhm - sorry to call you this late but I’m on my way home- I saw my father called me but-”
“He’s sleeping, yeah. Apparently, one of your cousins came over to celebrate her birthday with us and wondered where have you been but your father told her you’re at work.”
“Shit- did you give her the gift I told you before?”
“I do as you told me (Y/N), she was pleased about your gift.”
Opening your car door with a yawn, you ask Markus if he can stay over the line while you drive and he did. Even though you are on the phone call, he can tell already how exhausted you are based on your voice - he even feels bad because there were times that it was just pure silence but you reassure him that it was a comfortable silence.
—
Arriving back home, you parked your car safely - still feeling exhausted from working relentlessly, you’ve been eating a gummy melatonin that Markus recommended to you but this doesn’t make you sleepy. Markus must’ve heard that you just arrived so he practically runs over to your car before you can even open the door itself.
“Markus I can-”
Before you can even protest, he opened the car door for you and grab your belongings. Sighing in relief, you thanked him and make sure to lock it because the last time you forgot to lock your car, raccoons infested it.
There’s another comfortable silence between you two, when you’re about to go upstairs to your bedroom Markus asks - “Have you eaten dinner, (Y/N)?” groggily, you replied “...No.” he sighed, not sure if it’s disappointment or sad because you’ve been skipping meals lately but - “Hm… alright, I’ll cook you your favorite while you get dressed, okay?” “Okaaay mooom” He chuckle in response ‘gosh, his laugh is immaculate to listen to’ you thought to yourself as you headed to your room to get dressed in comfy clothes.
—
Minutes passed and you managed to get dressed in your comfy clothes but the thing is - you were too tired to go back downstairs again, using the intercom you asked if Markus can bring your food to your room and he was happy to oblige. Sitting up on your bed, Markus put a small table on top of your lap and put your favorite food. After you say thanks when he’s about to leave but you abruptly ask if he can stay with you to catch up watching your favorite TV series.
As you eat and too caught up by your favorite characters from the TV show, you didn’t realize how Markus looks at you with admiration — though he never admits it to Carl however Carl can see how Markus lit his eyes up when you’re in the same room with him. One time your father asks what you think about Markus —
“Well… let’s just say he’s programmed to take care of us— especially you but what I admire about him the most is his courage, how he sees hope when there’s a calamity or despite getting harsh treatment from other people he still sees the goodness within them. Why ask?”
Ever since then, your father can’t stop teasing you about Markus; he's definitely rooting him for you. Markus would laugh about this matter, but deep inside he wonders if you really like him and of course you do! You’re just too occupied with work right now and still unsure when you’ll make a move.
—
“(Y/N)?”
“Hm?”
“Aren’t you going to sleep yet? Also, have you been taking the melatonin that I recommended to you?”
“Hmm... Well, I did, but it looks like it’s not working on me anymore so…”
You have decided to shut down your laptop and put down the table on the floor alongside the utensils that have been used. Markus insisted that he’ll put those in the kitchen but you told him he can do that in the morning.
“Markus?”
“Yes?”
Markus noticed the time and it was getting late when he was about to scold you when out of the blue you asked “hey I know it’s sudden but can we cuddle? If you’re comfortable that is.” Markus knows that cuddling have good impact to a person’s health, but one thing that he’s unsure of is if you got a special someone — well, you wouldn’t be asking for cuddles from him if you have a boyfriend or girlfriend already, right? This is totally normal thing to do as friends—
“Markus? It’s okay if you don’t want to–”
“It’s fine (Y/N), besides there are a lot of health benefits of cuddling.”
“And honestly I could use one.”
Both of you settled in, at first it was awkward — unsure who was the big spoon or the small spoon so Markus insisted that he was the big spoon. He keep asking things if holding you this close was okay, or for him to run his fingers on your hair, and of course, you’d answer those questions ‘yes’— basically a consent check. Your smooth soft skin press to his synthetic skin, and then he brushes your hair with his hands, and in no time you’ve fallen asleep already, safe and sound in his arms.
Character/s: Connor RK800, Hank Anderson (and Sumo), Markus RK200, Carl Manfred, mentions of Jericho and Leo Manfred.
Summary: After Markus won from his peaceful demonstration everything seemed so right in place and since you live far away from your hometown, you decided to celebrate New Year’s Eve with Connor RK800 (with Hank and Sumo of course) / Markus RK200 ( with Carl, the people of Jericho and maybe with Leo? I don’t know, he’s a jackass though.)
Pairing/s: Connor RK800 x F! Reader / Markus RK200 x F! Reader (established relationship)
Warning/s: None except this whole headcanon is like fluff, and wholesome!
A/N: My first headcanon for my boys (Connor and Markus), I decided to watch jacksepticeye’s D:BH playthrough, and well… I love them both so much. Happy New Year by the way! Feedbacks / coffee are very much appreciated, love you guys!
~~~
Connor RK800 + Hank Anderson and Sumo
Ever since his post-deviancy, you have been there for him. To support his new found feelings, almost babysat a child - but of course a full grown, man. Hank didn’t mind though since you are practically his daughter so when you offered to help Connor, he was glad.
You celebrated Christmas Eve with them, though you were sad that you weren’t able to celebrate Christmas with your parents, relatives, and favorite cousin since you’re far from where you’re actual hometown is, they understand.
Connor knows how family-oriented you are (or maybe not, which both him and Hank truly understand your reason, besides they are your family now.)
When you told him that you’ll be celebrating New Year with them, he was so glad, the way his eyes sparkled with delight, that he got time to spend with you more, Hank and Sumo. “How about your parents?” “Oh, I’m sure they’ll understand” You almost forgot that you’re an adult so basically you can do whatever you guys want.
Of course, you can’t forget about the fireworks, but Hank is the one who’s an expert on this so you let the boys buy what kind of fireworks you’ll be using for the new year.
Since Connor is not programmed in household work, he feels bad that he had to leave you in cooking/baking/cleaning with Sumo while he and Hank go firework shopping.
You assure Connor that household chores were completely okay with you, it’s like your stress reliever and help for the both of them since they are like family to you.
Waving goodbye to them, you started feeding Sumo first, cleaning the house, tidying up the rooms, you took a quick water-food break and a nap - and then after you woke up from Sumo licking your hand, you decided to get started cooking.
One dish from your hometown and one dish that surely Hank will love, ‘ugh how I wish Connor can eat too, I’m sure he’ll love these’ You thought to yourself and sighed, after preparing the dishes for tonight you started to make red velvet cookies. After everything is settled, you decided to take a nap on the couch while Sumo sleeps with you.
Hours later, you heard a ruckus - Sumo shifted and you stirred awake “Hey darling” someone scoffed after that greeting ‘Obviously the one who scoffed is Hank’ you laugh and greeted Connor giving him a kiss on his cheek “Are you guys able to buy fireworks for later?” “Mhm,” When Connor sits beside you, he was taken aback when you sit on his lap and nuzzle your face to his neck - fast asleep.
When Hank was about to say anything for (Y/N) or Connor, he motioned that you’re fast asleep again - Hank just nods and eats some of the dishes you cooked, savoring each bite while you and Connor are on the couch, resting.
It’s been an hour since you’ve fallen asleep, you didn’t notice that you were in the shared bed with Connor when Hank barged in with a trumpet that he blew making you stir in sleep “Happy New Year kid!” You sit up, adjusting your vision and greet Hank a happy new year, it was very uncharacteristic of him to be this joyful but hey - let the old man be happy.
When Hank came out of the bedroom saying that he’ll be preparing things that are needed for the fireworks, he also greeted Connor who was leaning in the doorframe. “Hey hot-stuff” you pat the free space on the bed and he happily obliged “I will always never get used to calling you, me random nicknames” He laughed, ‘god his laugh is so - genuine’ you thought to yourself “ah well, it’s just that…” you paused while he waits “gosh I am so happy that you’re with me - Hank and Sumo…” “I’m happy that you’re here too, (Y/N)” as you snuggle up close to him, he kissed your forehead.
Hank, on the other hand he knocks on the bedroom door saying thanks to (Y/N) that made him feel that Cole is here again - “I’m sure your son will be proud of you, Hank.” before even Hank cry in tears of joy he just agreed with you, “come on love birds we should start to light up those fireworks.” You and Connor walk hand in hand, grateful that you have each other backs despite of what the year has been rough for everyone else.
~~~
Markus RK200 + Jericho and Carl Manfred (mentions of Leo, maybe?)
When Markus became deviant, you were there to witness the whole scene - and you who became fond with the android himself you helped him out. “You gotta leave now before they kill you!” Carl said to him as you both go to your cozy apartment. That was the first time you saw him afraid, anxious - hoping that Leo didn’t die from the impact, you assured him that everything will be okay.
As much as he wants to contact Carl about the situation of his son, Leo, you stopped him. Knowing that the police are hunting them and he agreed. “Since deviants are spreading - maybe when this issue subside we’ll be able to contact Carl again.” Markus sigh, “We should probably find a hideout, anytime soon a police might barge it, I don’t want you to be in danger (Y/N).”
Jericho - the hideout place that he found, by talking to damaged android that he found he met Simon and his other companions. North, however she’s still suspicious about you - knowing that you work with the Cyberlife but that doesn’t stop the others to grow fondly of you.
After Markus and his people won because of his peaceful demonstration, he feel relieved more than ever. Although it wasn’t avoidable that some human continue to despite human-android relationship, or android having the rights to do what they want – that can’t be helped. He was also glad that you were his right-hand man.
You celebrated Christmas with Markus, visited Carl - who’s surprisingly doing better (he had a new android to help him out around the house after that incident) but nonetheless he’s proud of Markus and his freedom march. “Hey Markus, can I have a moment with Carl?” he nods and left you with him. “I know it’s been a while but I have something in mind…” You paused, while Carl raised an eyebrow at you. “I was thinking of having a party here to your mansion - like at New Years Eve? If that’s okay with you uncle.” He was delighted - and even help you out to call some event organizers to help you out without raising any suspicion to Markus.
When you bid goodbye to your uncle Carl both of you made sure that everything will go according to plan - days go by and Markus doesn’t really raise any suspicion about visiting Carl though he keep insisting that he should come for your safety (rest easy is not on his vocabulary apparently..) “Come on, (Y/N). I want to visit Carl too - I’ll cook you your favorite!” “Fiiineeee.” You playfully punch his arm - how can you resist this man? He’s literally a house-husband material!
After you told Markus that he should wait at your car - you grab a gift for the hero, Markus himself. Putting it inside your bag that you planned on giving him to the party. “I’ll drive.” “What? No-” he give you ‘the look’ that you can’t just - resist, ‘gosh, he’s so charismatic-’ rolling your eyes you put your bag at the backseat of your car, Markus noticed that. Obviously. “I hope you’re not scanning that bag, babe.” Markus raised his hands in defeat and he let out a chuckle “You have my words babe, I won’t.” and of course he kept his words, while he proceed to start the engine - drive to Carl’s mansion talking about what happened for the past few months.
Arriving at Carl’s mansion, you grab your bag - while Markus as a nice gentleman as he is, well he open the door of your car for you. Muttering ‘thank you, babe’ he smiled sweetly. He never failed to make you swoon, ever. “Welcome back, Markus and Miss (Y/N)” an android who greeted them as soon as they enter Carl’s mansion when you’re about to go straight to the living room Markus stopped you “wait, I thought you’re going to visit Carl?” You blinked, thinking of a lie your heartbeat became erratic. It’s funny because it’s not like you did something wrong but - “Your heartbeat quickens, are you hiding something from me?” “What? No! I- I was going to grab some water- like I’m thirsty… right-” “Hm… alright, I meet you upstairs then.” “R-right!”
You quickly went to your way to the living room, where supposedly the people of Jericho and Carl himself is there. “Okay okay, is everybody complete now? Woah this is making me cry I- gosh-” Carl reassures you that this will go well, he hope (it’s not that he doesn’t want to see Leo interfere but you know that guy, unpredictable as hell.) “(Y/N)? Carl isn’t upstai-” before Markus can even finish his sentence, everyone included you said ‘Surprise!’ in unison. He was, obviously in shocked - in fact he looks like he was about to cry.
Markus walked towards you, feeling like the time had stopped - he hold your hands and gently squeezed it. “You did all of these?” He looked around the spacious living room, decorated but not over-decorated, some of his people are here especially his friends: North, Josh, Simon, Lucy and John. “Well, I asked my uncle for help - and then your friends helped me too so, it’s not only me.” You smiled sheepishly at him - “oh wait, here’s my gift for you too - it was Carl’s idea by the way.” He happily accept the gift, tearing up the gift wrapping - it was a huge box, with clothes, although you know his style, Carl was able to choose some clothes that will really suit him. I tell you - the man is speechless.
After the year changed, it was a sure great start for everyone else, he hoped that the other humans will be enlighten that the androids did not want any harm at all, but rather freedom, peace and understanding that they are more than just any machine.
