Great, so now I'm invested in your Chrollo writing... Thank you I guess🙄❤️ Now I had to follow you *sighs* Just kidding, you're an amazing writer!! Mayhaps could you write some fluffy? headcannons for the adult trio with a soulmate who's weak/doesn't know nen?
Aww shucks! Thanks so much, sorry you had to follow me *winks* I hope this rose tea compensates for your troubles ( ͡❛ ‿ ͡❛)
-If you're physically weak, you have to be strong in other areas for Hisoka to notice you. But you're his soulmate; once he finds you, there's no turning back from here. With him, you pass the point of no return; there's no looking back with him.
-Hisoka's name is not on you, but in this au, you can't see the color of your soulmate's eyes until you meet them or spot them.
-Imagine looking at sunflowers in the grocery shop and thinking they look so sad because they're always gray. Or consider how weird it would be to see bananas all discolored and gray like they're coming straight out of a 60s show.
-Your parents always told you the color you were missing was yellow, and you thought it convenient that your soulmate would be so fierce since birth. His eyes must be a spectacle to behold. But one thing is for sure he's making a statement somewhere in the world.
-You often think about how he's doing with not being able to see your (e/c) in anything. Maybe it's the ocean that he sees gray and dull or dripping honey that doesn't seem as sensual being gray and the trees only having color during fall when they turn reddish and orange. He thinks it's amusing how the world works, funny how he's made it a game to find you when he thinks he's had enough of that dull spot in his vision.
-Hisoka is honestly in no rush to find you, but he's always expecting you. Thinking about how beautiful your fight will be, about your nen or how strong you'll get once you're with him. The thought alone is enough to rile him up. He often builds his card houses, licking his lips at the thought of you, and everyone around him can't wait for you to appear and his excessive creepiness to end.
-That's why his mind is on alert when he looks around and can finally see the missing color in his spectrum. His eyes are darting around frantically for someone who seems to be doing the same thing.
You were walking down the busy road filled with a crowd of people coming and going anywhere. Your eyes lifted from your purse to spot fuchsia curled up hair in the distance. The color struck you as odd, but you didn't question it. After all, this is York New City and what everybody does is their business. But the color was quite eye-catching and hard to miss, and it kept calling for your attention. However, once you passed the person, you just smiled to yourself, thinking about how brave they were wearing such clothes. Still, it wasn't your business.
You walked by a flower shop and absentmindedly looked for the flowers you always thought looked dull and gray. But to your surprise, you couldn't find them, there was only yellow, and that's when it hit you. You had seen your soulmate around and didn't even noticed. You look up from the soft petals in your hand, and the fuchsia hair guy was standing right in front of you. You blink back as he offers his hand to you in greeting, not minding how you gawk at him and look straight into his eyes.
"Hisoka Morrow, pleasure to finally meet you, little fruit˜ "his voice is sensually soothing, and you can't help but be flustered at his presentation alone.
"Your-Your eyes…they are yellow," he chuckles, giving you his best-closed eye smile.
"I believe they are, dear~."
-Now that you have found each other, he's all over you all the time trying to coax you into displaying your nen or going as far as to provoke you into fighting. At first, you don't quite understand his deal, thinking this must be how soulmates are, but this guy is too much.
-When you tell him you don't have a nen, he doesn't understand why you two are compatible. He thought fate knew better, oh well, life's a riot, and he's willing to have the best out of it.
-Hisoka will be interested in your smarts or your skills, however mundane they may be. You're his toy, after all, and even if he can't kill you because you're not strong enough, he will build you up to be good at what you do and then destroy you there. (Imagine being good at cooking and him just trying to be better than you in order to fight you there)
-That doesn't mean he will not love you, he does cherish you deep down, more than he does himself, but he will never say. He's a fickle man, here one moment and gone the next. The most he will display once he's deep into the relationship would be cuddles, sexy times when he's fired up, and words of affection sprinkled here and there.
"(Y/N)-Chan~" he drawls seductively, trying to catch your attention, but you simply smile and keep working on your thing.
"My devilish little queen of hearts~" Hisoka snatches you up, bringing you into his embrace and forcing you to sit inside his crossed legs as he hugs you close to his chest.
"Do I have your attention now, little fruit, hmm?" He gives your neck a kitten lick, kissing the spot afterwards.
-We all know he's shy, and a few of his insecurities come out whenever he's vulnerable, which tends to happen when he's with you, so treasure those moments.
"Darling little fruit," he chuckles, hugging you from behind, "I feel rather neglected right now. Care to take care of this little problem, hmm?" He will suggestively and innocently grind his hips into yours.
Your blushing face is just too much for him.
-So you would have a normal relationship, albeit a bit weird since he's Hisoka, of course.
P.S he does think you're adorable when you're annoyed; in his eyes, all he sees is a chibi version of you with puffed-out cheeks and big glassy eyes. But don't get angry; that will only lead to rough times in the bed.
-Illumi thought it was weird the first time the cravings manifested. He had never wanted chocolate more than now, so he added that food to the list of things he will prohibit you from eating.
-In this au, you crave what your soulmate is currently eating, and Illumi never thought of a more annoying thing than this form of love.
-It was bad enough he was raised with poisoned food to grow a resistance. Still, he always thought that would also benefit you since you would also want to eat a little bit of it without knowing he was doing it on purpose.
-Illumi prefers more bland things, less salt, and bold flavors or spices. He’s healthy and straightforward; he wants you to be the same. After all, the perfect wife is a healthy one in all aspects of their life.
-It is very annoying to crave (favorite food) or (favorite snack) in the middle of a fight when he never even eats that.
-He always tries to never indulge in his cravings, but he expects you to indulge in his since he thinks he knows what’s best for you. His parents always insisted on it, but his grandfather always snuck some (fav. Candy) whenever he asked what it was.
-On your part, you never understood your soulmate. Different things passed through your mind, all pointing to someone obsessed with exercising and staying fit.
-You liked your flavors, whether it be tea, coffee, spices, sugary treats, sour stuff, or extremely salty snacks, your taste buds were a party, and you just wanted to indulge and share some of your preference with your fated one.
-However, you trying out bits of cyanide and other poisons/ venoms was utterly bizarre. Your parents were most alarmed when you puked for a long period of your childhood but couldn’t understand what was happening to you.
-Wanting bland food or healthy snacks wasn’t all that bad, but it sure annoyed you occasionally. That’s why you thought it was odd when you were drinking (favorite drink) at the shop, and there was this sudden urge to throw it away in disgust.
You couldn’t pinpoint where the extreme feeling was coming from until a cup of green tea was placed in front of you, and your drink was snatched as quickly as the tea came. You looked up to see a handsome man with long black hair and two dark whirlpools for eyes. Brows scrunched up as you looked for your favorite drink, which had been in front of you seconds ago.
“Excuse me, but did you took my-“
“That wasn’t healthy for you. This is better for your body, less sugar” he sat across from you, and you were about to chuck the cup of tea in his face.
“Mmm, but I bought it, and I really wanted to drink it” Illumi sighed, exasperated. With closed eyes, he took the cup in front of you and sipped from it.
The urge to drink the tea in his hand was otherworldly. Desperation made your hands sweat, but you gripped your thighs to hold back.
“It’s you,” you said in an almost hushed and awed voice.
“My name is Illumi Zoldyck.”
Oh crap. The enchantment of the moment you had been waiting for all your life dissipated the second he uttered his last name. You knew that last name anywhere; it was the one people spoke about when they wanted someone dead. It was the one no one dare to whisper in your neighborhood for fear to attract the mighty assassins. It was the one that carried so much bloodshed with it you wanted nothing to do with him. So you did the thing that you thought was best: have nothing to do with him.
“I think I have you confused with someone else” you smiled kindly at him, “have a nice afternoon.”
You didn’t even make it out of the booth when Illumi’s hand shot out and held your cheek affectionately. It stopped you dead.
“I think I’m correct with my assumption, (Y/N), no one likes (specific way of eating snack/food).” You chuckle nervously
“But a lot of people do” you try to get out of his weird cheek holding pose, but then his other hand holds your other cheek, encasing your face in his palms and coming closer to your face pulling you in as well.
“Milluki already looked into different bank account statements and pinpointed who was the most out of the people that bought the ingredients. We also added different variables as well, judging from certain months and days. You were the one that came out. I am certain you’re the one. Didn’t you felt the urge to drink the tea I just drank? Hmm, experts say the closer you are to your soulmate, the stronger the cravings get; perhaps they might be wrong.”
Illumi stroke an innocent thinking pose, looking like an intellectual child getting an answer wrong in his review.
-Welp that was creepy, but it doesn’t stop there. You see, Illumi doesn’t really care that you don’t have a nen or are not strong enough as much as Hisoka does. Sure his parents are a bit concerned about it, but it’s mostly is his mother being against you as his soulmate. After all, he needs to keep the bloodline of assassins going; therefore, they need healthy, strong children.
-If you don’t have nen, they will force it to wake up in you, and then they will train you just like they did the family. Buckle up is going to be a harsh and rather unpleasant ride. Illumi will not comfort you like a conventional lover, but he will be there for you when he thinks you’ve had enough…for the day. After all, he wants you strong and healthy but also loving and warm.
-But if Illumi is somehow against his family’s wishes, he will always advocate for you or give a reason why they can’t proceed.
-Inside Illumi is happy you are dependent on him. He revels at the fact that to keep you safe from his line of work, he has you move in with him in record time; he supervises everything you eat and everything you do. Because he insists he knows what’s best for you.
-Overall, he’s very controlling and a bit manipulative when he can’t have his way with you. He definitely knows when you’re not following his diet, he can feel the chocolate cravings and knows it was his grandfather giving you some.
-But even if Illumi is awkward at best when it comes to love, he still does love you in the most weirdest of ways. Meaning every loving gesture he does come out a bit robotic, but with time he will loosen up. Just like his food choices, Illumi’s love is a little bland and mostly devoid of strong tastes. That’s why you are in his life to show him the flavors he’s been missing. You’re everything tasty he’s never given himself the chance to taste.
Ps. He does like your favorite snack because of you, and the two of you will sometimes cuddle and eat it. He thinks you’re the best flavor there is, though, and will often indulge in making you lose your mind with pleasure
-As always, Chrollo is the most romantic out of the trio, and you can fight me with this but hear me out first
-Chrollo can see the red string of fate attached to his ring finger on his left hand. He has always been able to see it and has always wondered he would meet the person on the other end. He's poetic and a bit dramatic, so he's expecting your encounter would be as magical as the poems describe.
-He has been preparing all his life for you; his mind often wanders, thinking about different things the two of you could. In the middle of a job, he would see a place and write in the list of places he would take you. Your encounter has to be perfect but natural; he doesn't want to force it.
-That's why when he's casually walking around the market, looking at the trinkets and the foods from the vendors, he's amazed. Chrollo notices that the string has actually shortened, and his soulmate is close by.
-He's excited, grey eyes momentarily widen, looking around to see where the end of the string meets his, and then he sees you. Standing by one of the stalls, being harassed by the vendor into buying his merchandise.
-Oh boy, oh boy, is he annoyed and irked.
"Sorry, sir, but I don't really buy this type of thing" your politeness falls on deaf ears as the vendors huffs and shoves another trinket in your face.
"How 'bout this one, eh, eh? A pretty lady such as yourself would certainly use one of these" You shake your head and try to move away, but the vendor's hand shoots out, grabbing your wrist.
At the same time, someone else grabs the vendor's wrist hard, eliciting a yelp from the vendor as their bones creak, rubbing against each other painfully. You gasp, turning around and seeing this beautiful man. You feel you know him somehow; his grey eyes speak of another life, another remembrance where the two of you shared the same air in the same breath. It hits your heart hard, and it almost clenches at him. The man also seems to be in pain, like he got stabbed with the same feeling.
"Excuse me, but I couldn't help but overhear; I think the lady doesn't want what you're selling."
"Listen here you-"The man raised a posting finger from his other hand, and Chrollo painfully squeezed the man's wrist, cutting his sentence off.
"Splendid; it's good when people come to compromises" Chrollo let the man's wrist go, and the little weasel scurried off behind his stall hiding.
Chrollo turned to you fully, warmly smiling at you. "Are you alright?"
Your wide eyes gleamed at him, but there was something he couldn't pinpoint behind your expression, and he prided himself on being good at reading people. He thought it ironic that his soulmate was the only person he couldn't read, just because fate thought it nice to keep things interesting.
"I'm fine, thanks for helping me, I tried to be polite, but it was impossible," you huffed, feeling familiar with the stranger. That made Chrollo smile.
"It's good to finally meet you, darling" the sentence caught you off guard. Your heart jumped a beat, feeling a cold shiver run down your spine.
"I'm sorry," you smiled at him, brows cutely furrowed. "But do I know you?"
It was his turn to skip a beat. What did that mean? Chrollo took a breath; maybe he needed to emphasize the red string uniting both of your hands; surely, once you look down, you would see it.
He lifted his hand, casually stroking his chin in a thinking stance. "Mmm, interesting, don't you recognize me?"
Chrollo studied your expression, but you showed no signs of seeing the red string. Well, every nen user could see other people's strings, so maybe it's because you haven't noticed the two of you connecting.
"May I see your wrist then? That scoundrel grabbed it quite harshly" You nodded, feeling terrible that you couldn't remember this handsome man.
As Chrollo brought the hand up closer to his face, he glanced at you once more. But your expressions were the same still. That's when he concluded that you had no nen, or perhaps it hadn't awakened yet.
He exhaled, gently letting your hand go. "Everything is in order. Perhaps it would bruise slightly but nothing too bad."
"Thank you for everything honestly, thank you" Chrollo smiled at you, even unawares of your relation to him. It was hard to be down when you gave him those smiles.
"How about a cup of tea to calm your nerves? I know a good place nearby?"
"That would be nice, sir."
"Please, Chrollo, and it would be my pleasure."
-After that moment, the two of you just hit it off. There was something about him that made the relationship advance so fast in so little time, almost like you were fated.
-Chrollo would always make silent attempts to coax the nen out of you without hurting you, but it seemed you truly had none. Of course, that was no impediment for him to love you and spoil you rotten.
-He would try not to leave for the beginning of your relationship, letting the troupe do the jobs without too much of his assistance. But once the relationship was solid enough, he would start leaving, telling you tidbits about his life and jo0b without it being a lie. He hates to lie to you, so do not feel guilty. He would tell the truth but from a different perspective, one that would not hurt you.
-Chrollo takes you to all the places that he wanted to and never stops giving you gifts, so when you give him one, he can't help but be so surprise and almost tear up at the gesture. Everything that comes from you must be treasured.
-He worships the ground you walk on, even when you tell him there's no need for that. But he insists, you're meant to be just like in the poems and books he has read.
P.s His favorite moments are spent cuddled with you on a cold and rainy day, reading different books, and basking in each other's presence before he has to leave for another job.
