₊✦Limbus Company | Hohenheim x Gn!Reader | No spoilers!✦₊
It's hard to tell if Hohenheim cares about you more than the other employees, let alone if he loves you in the first place, because he treats everyone the same way. But he doesn't. It's only after Marton and Alyssa point it out — because, frankly, Hohenheim is helpless on his own — that he does love you and it shows in the way he does things to make work easier for you. Doing paperwork in your stead when you're stressed, dealing with abnormalities and pettaculum when they pose a danger to the next person who's supposed to be dealing with them, sharing your workload when you're sick if not outright taking it off your hands…
It becomes dear, then, that his love language is Acts of Service and that he'd do more for you if he wasn't stuck at work while neglecting himself.
As for Hohenheim, his preferred love language is Physical Touch. He'll never admit it but he likes it when you shower him in affection, but what he likes more than that is the subtle implication that comes with your touch; that being that you're doing mentally, emotionally and physically well if you can be affectionate towards him so easily.
Of course, there are exceptions as certain abnormalities can make humans be overly affectionate or worse, be affectionate while disguising themselves as a person, but Hohenheim keeps a close eye on you so he can tell when something isn't right with you and he'll act accordingly.
helloooooO!!! !!! Can you write Hohenheim x male reader? maybe reader starts bandaging his wounds from a failed experiment with an abno, ooo??? ( ・∇・)
,, How much did this E.G.O suit cost again? ’’
A Hohenheim x male!reader fanfiction
Notable themes: vaguely described bodily harm.
Word count: 1,245
Quick notes: this is written in second person (you, yours, you’re). This is pre-canto 9. So no spoilers!!! It’s honestly super hard to tell it’s male reader so I apologise. I’m always purposely vague with reader inserts so you can imagine more freely,,, ^^
Working in the LCE was tiring, stressful yet exhilarating all in one.
Especially so when you had the most careless man as your very own lover.
It all started when you were approached by Marton, whose brows were furrowed as he asked-
,, Have you seen Hohenheim? If theres anyone who knows where he is it should be you. ’’
You were… about to answer, when suddenly an alarm blared right above you, the fluorescent lights being over-powered by a sickening red. In sync, both you and Marton sighed and made your way to the nearest employee shelter to sit and wait this out.
However, the bad thing about Hohenheim was that he rubs off on people easily… so evidently his curiosity has rubbed off on you and instead of staying put and being responsible-
You left to go to where Hohenheim was previously working before the alarms.
Deafening alarms assaulted your ears every time you turned into a new corridor, it felt as though they were getting louder the closer you got to the containment zone of WAW level abnormality - O-02-101- The firebird. The outdated lobotomy corporation classification of course, the LCE are still yet to readjust it.
It was a more recent capture, a very interesting one as well. It came straight from district 14 and has been a pain in the ass every second its been in the headquarters. This is not the first time its been the reason for a breach and you wouldn't have been surprised if it was this abnormality which has caused this.
But what did surprise you was Hohenheim himself, laid just around the corner from its containment unit taking deep breaths as he held his close-to-fried leg. Yet the burn traveled further up his body ending just beneath the middle of his ribs.
,, Hohenheim! ’’
You called out, rushing up to him and falling to his side. Where was the medical team? Were they even coming? Was it too dangerous for them to come out at the moment?
,, Where's The firebird? ’’
,, Went down the other corridor. So nowhere near. ’’
A soft sigh of relief leaving your lungs as you were given the information from your lover, but obviously, there was still something very prevalent to deal with.
His burns.
Looking at your own E.G.O suit - Justitia, Originating from WAW level abnormality Judgement bird - you ripped the bandages off the sleeves and as carefully as humanly possible started to wrap them around the burns. Of course these wouldn't be permanent unti-
,, Im confident that these aren't going to be the permanent solution right? There are still much you’d need to do for burns ’’
,, I am aware, Hohenheim… ’’
Even so, you couldn't help but let out a small chuckle at him. Here he was, gravely injured, skin horribly burned (so burned in fact that just under half of it was cauterised) and a whole E.G.O suit ruined and still more worried about everything but what he should be. Himself mainly, he really should have been worried about himself.
Oh what was there to not love about this silly man?
,, How much does it hurt? ’’
You question, pausing to rip the bandages of your other sleeve for the last bit around his torso which looked particularly rough. He let out a deep sigh, looking at you through his glasses with his tired, almost glossy grey eyes, which seemed to be covered in a thin layer of soot and ash.
,, Not as much as it did at first. Take me to the medical bay so I can get this properly treated. ’’
,, Not that i don't.. Appreciate your efforts of course ’’
Hohenheim slipped one of his calloused hands into yours. Notably, he was trembling, which was enough for you to tell he was definitely lying about the pain- that or he was utterly shaken by the whole ordeal, which was entirely unlikely in itself,
Gently, you pull him to his feet, urging him to keep his injured leg off the floor and to use you as a crutch. For once in a lifetime, Hohenheim listened to your pleas and let you help carry him.
The walk to the med-bay was surprisingly not a long one. Luckily, The firebirds containment was placed close to it on purpose due to its properties. Hohenheim was treated and promptly scolded by the doctor in charge- they may as well be best friends with how often they see each other, through all the fault of Hohenheim and his precious high class peccatulum and high level abnormalities.
Your dearest was treated for his burns but was - to his dismay - ordered to rest up till the next supply of K corp. ampules arrive . Due to this, he’s commanded you to at least stick with him till they arrive. Not that you’d say not to that.
Hohenheim was laid with his torso raised by pillows, his eyes shut and his hand- once again -in yours. Not horribly shaking this time however. Your thumb gently rubbed random shapes into his knuckles- lines, circles, squares, whatever.
You’re pretty sure that he fell into slumber because of it.
He looked much better with a peaceful expression on his face. Lovingly, your gaze lingered on him and his features. His stubble which he said he’d shave off soon but hasn't- his messy and unkempt hair framing his boney features oddly well. So well in fact you hadn't even noticed he’s staring right back at you with that lukewarm expression of his.
And yet, the two of you gave the other a smile as you leaned forward slightly, kissing his lanky fingers.
,, Surely you have work to do? ’’
Hohenheim questioned you, freeing his hand from your grip to brush a strand of loose hair from your face and behind your ear.
,, You’re the one who wanted me to stay by your bedside ’’
You retorted, a soft chuckle escaping you as you reciprocated the action- copying him in a sense by sweeping some of his deep blue hair behind his ear. It felt strangely coarse and soft at the same time, the texture a pleasing mix of the two that made you run your hands through his hair a few times. Which… got a very positive reaction from Hohenheim.
,, I am aware. I just want to know which abnormalities, distortions or peccatulum you’re currently working with ’’
,, Meat lantern and fairy festival currently. I think both are weirdly cute ’’
As you talked about the experiences you’ve had with the TETH and ZAYIN abnormalities, Hohenheim listened intently to every single word you said, only interrupting during a pause to ask another question like ‘what's the best way to work with them?’ or ‘what do you find most interesting about them?’
He was just allowing you to ramble as he drifted in and out of slumber once more. Above all else, your voice relaxes him heavily, no matter what you’re talking about. You could be describing the most gruesome scene imaginable from the smoke war and he’d be there softly snoring simply because it's you that's talking.
He loves you. It was hard not to in his opinion.
It didn't take you long to realise he slipped sneakily into sleep- the random cease of questions made it quite clearer. Maybe working with lower level abnormalities yields better results, huh?
Final comments: you do not know how much I freaked out knowing me FIRST request was for my goat and dearest husband hohenheim. I feel like I was blessed and I looooooooved writing this! I hope you enjoy anon ^^
Hello! Could I get matchups for Fullmetal Alchemist, HxH and OHHC pls? SFW and NSFW. I'm female and have a male preference. My hair is dark brown and tends to brighten up in summer, making it look a bit red-ish. I never dyed my hair because I think that's kinda cool. I prefer to wear comfy and practical clothing. It's usually black or green. I love being outside and exploring lost places, taking walks at night. I like the calm and quiet and I am usually calm and collected, but if you push the right buttons, I can get pretty angry. Archery is my main hobby. It's really relaxing to me for some reason and I'd say I'm very good at it. In my free time I also like to watch movies or just chill and listen to music. I'm alone most of the time, being a lil aloof. The few friends I have are very dear to me though and ppl better not mess with them. I can get pretty protective. I'd like a partner who can be protective and someone I can spend time without talking too much. Long philosophical talks at night can be nice sometimes, but I wouldn't say I'm the most talkative person. Just spending pleasant, quiet time together is fine to me at times. Maybe reading together or something. I have a thing for fantasy and sci-fi novels. Jealousy can be a huge annoyance to me. PDA is not rlly my thing. In private I can be a real cuddlebug though. I'd say I'm more vanilla and it would take time until I rlly trust someone to try something out of my comfort zone. When it comes to my job, I'm a locksmith. Never expected to end up in a job like this, but it's a lot of fun to me. We work with security systems, offer lock and key services and sometimes I go out to fix ppls door locks and stuff. Before that I had a job in retail, but the customer service was just too frustrating. I hope you can work with this. Thanks a lot! :)
Hiii thank you for the request!! We hope you like your hxh & fmab match ups :D
Your lock & key,
admin sar & san
Your HxH match up is.........Chrollo!!
SFW
The two of you would meet at your favorite bookstore. He'd be in the philosophy section and see you holding [insert cool philosophy book]. Since you both read through books quickly you'd both end up at the bookstore frequently and walk past each other and sometimes make eye contact.
The more Chrollo sees you at the bookstore, the more intrigued he is to find out more about you. One day, he'd strike up a conversation about the book you're holding. Then like a gentleman, he'd ask if you'd like to go to a cafe nearby and talk more. Please ask him about the tattoo on his forehead.
Chrollo admires your intelligence and your expansive knowledge about various philosophy theories. He loves taking you on walks at night to pretty places and talking with you about his theories and books he's been reading.
He thinks that your locksmith skills are amazing! He tries to get you to join the phantom troupe missions since your skills would be very helpful.
To get into the phantom troupe the rite of passage is to defeat an existing member. He makes you beat up Uvo's corpse :)
He likes lying down on your lap while reading books.
Chrollo is a very protective man and will do anything to ensure you're never harmed. With him being a phantom troupe member, he knows that if enemies found out about your relationship with him you'd be in danger.
He isn't a PDA sorta guy so you have nothing to worry about. He's also not used to showing romantic affection, if you hug him and kiss him he'll eventually warm up.
He enjoys giving you forehead kisses and hugs from the back. But don’t give him forehead kisses or you’ll end up with ink in your mouth.
N/SFW
He would totally make you read one of his books out loud while eating you out. If you stumble or mispronounce a word he'll edge you.
You love a man who can read, but Chrollo be reading a bit too much. You can get his attention back on you pretty easily by rubbing certain areas of his body ;) like his ankle or his balls..on his ears
Chrollo isn't a jealous man really, he is the leader of the phantom troupe so he knows his shit. However, if anyone tries to hit on you he'll laugh at them. He'll mark you in bed later that night to make sure everyone knows you're his.
Your FMAB match up is..........Van Hohenheim!!
SFW
Hohenheim is a man who appreciates the value of not talking since he’s got thousands of voices in his head chatting at all hours of the day. He would really appreciate spending some peaceful time with you in companionable silence
You and Hohenheim could take trips around the world since he loves travelling and is a well-travelled fella. He would show you his favorite places including a trip down memory lane to the ruins of Xerxes. Together the two of you could explore the wider world too and make new memories.
Overall Hohenheim’s a pretty chill dude, with his heart in the right place most of the time. He may not make the best decisions but he’s fiercely protective of his friends and family, and would sacrifice being with them if it meant their lives were in danger.
If you like long philosophical talks at night Hohenheim’s your man. He’s had hundreds of years to understand and study people and alchemy so he’s quite knowledgeable about both. He’s quite intelligent too
Hohenheim’s a bit of a loner too so you guys would definitely get along.
You could leave him alone for a few days too whenever you needed the space. The friends in his head are all he needs <3
Hohenheim isn’t the PDA type either but would definitely be a big cuddly bear in private.
N/SFW
You could handcuff him to the bedpost without fear since if he accidentally got stuck you could pick it with your locksmith skillz
It would be fun to pull on that ponytail while you peg him (he seems like he’d be into it)
He loves to fuck you in the sun because when your hair catches the light it looks reddish-brown. It reminds him of Trisha Elric and he gets hyped up
Hohenheim has the sexual urges of all the people of Xerxes in his head, so when you’re fucking him you’re fucking a nation <3
Hugging the Swapped!Sinners to Make Hurting Teddy Bear Jealous!
DONGBAEK freezes in place for a moment. She raises her hands, debating if she should push you or let you be. The last time she experienced affection like this was so, so long ago. And one that she didn’t initiate at that due to her friends’ — well, ex-friends now — timidness when it came to physical touch and affection.
“…Fine,” she relents quietly.
Her hands fall back to her side and she leans into your hug; allowing herself to bask in your affection, even if it’s more a mere moment and even if it was done to piss off an abnormality.
HOHENHEIM looks at you, then at Hurting Teddy Bear stomping its foot like a child throwing a tantrum.
“Manager, it seems that your actions have upset Hurting Teddy Bear,” he states as his gaze remains on the abnormality. He doesn’t hug you back but he doesn’t push you away either; waiting for you to pull away instead so that he may engage in combat.
If you wanted to hug him then you should’ve waited until you were at a safe place. That said his exact thoughts on your sudden embrace depend on the situation, such as whether you brought a bleed team to the mirror dungeon or not.
DULCINEA freezes up on the spot. She has never been in this kind of situation before nor was she really shown this kind of affection, especially with her past in the parade where her role was to be admired but never to be touched. If it weren’t for her ability to keep herself composed no matter what the situation is, then her face would’ve burst into a shade of red.
“…Manager, this isn’t the time,” she speaks with an ever so slight tremble to her voice as she places her hand on your shoulder and hesitantly pushes you way.
She will refuse to speak to you about this afterwards, however if you ever hug her again then she may let your embrace linger for a little longer. Maybe.
LUCIO tenses up the moment he feels the smallest hint of your touch. “Manager,” he utters out, his voice usually devoid of emotion now tinted with a plethora of them. “I doubt this is the appropriate time to be hugging someone.”
Yet he can’t bring himself to push you away, and if you keep hugging him then he’ll eventually find himself melting into your embrace and letting his guard down; hesitantly embracing you back.
Do note that he will probably have to bandage you up later as Hurting Teddy Bear will be able to ambush the two of you while you’re busy hugging one another.
VESPA does not respond, not at first. His eyes stay on Hurting Teddy Bear as the abnormality throws a fit the moment it sees your arms wrap around him.
For a second, he considers pushing you off him both for his safety and as a way to calm down Hurting Teddy Bear, but if you’re hugging him here in the first place then you likely knew what you were doing and it wouldn’t be wise of him to go against your plans.
“Manager, I doubt this was a smart choice,” the words escape from him anyway.
JIA QIU looks at you questioningly but sees what you're going for a moment later. He wraps one arm around you, holding you close and secure as he adjusts his grip on his staff; ready for the upcoming fight.
Though he has his own thoughts regarding your decision, he trusts and believes in your capability as a manager enough to go along with whatever you're planning.
What he doesn't trust, however, is for you to stay a safe distance away from the abnormality considering your decision to egg on its jealousy. So he'll deal with that issue by keeping you by his side.
CATHERINE hugs you back without hesitation. She got the same idea as you when she saw Hurting Teddy Bear but didn’t have the authority to act on her own to test her idea nor did she want to act on her own without any input from you. So when you give her the opportunity to do so, she happily accepts it.
“Looks like it’s jealous~” she sings as she pulls away from the hug, her eyes focused on the abnormality and a smile attached to her lips. She gently nudges you to the side before taking on a fighting stance, ready to beat the jealousy out of the abnormality and reap its rewards.
QUEEQUEG believes that your judgement is best — you are the manager after all — so when you hug her, she doesn’t hesitate to hug you back. Besides, maybe you just wanted a hug despite your current location and she wasn’t going to be the one to deny you a hug.
She’ll wrap her arms around you tight and give you the best hug that she can offer. She’s not ignorant of the seething abnormality behind her but she’s not concerned about it either. Protecting you comes first, and with you here in her arms like this, protecting you is easy. Hurting Teddy Bear would have to get through her before it can hurt you.
SONYA chuckles, his eyes flitting back and forth between you and Hurting Teddy Bear; glimmering with amusement.
“Was this what you wanted, manager?” he teases, wrapping his arms around you and giving you a small squeeze. Happily playing along with your plan to make the abnormality jealous.
DEMIAN floats away from your grasp before you can even open your arms to hug him. “Eyes on the abnormality, manager~” he lightly chides you with a teasing tone.
If you only wanted a hug then he would’ve let you, but since the reason you wanted to hug him was to make something else — Hurting Teddy Bear — jealous, he plays around with you instead.
Don’t worry though, he’ll come to hug you on his own accord later since he doesn’t want you to feel too bad about not getting a hug from him earlier. Preferably at an inconvenient time as well so he can scare you.
MOSES lets out a sigh, yet she wraps her arms around you nonetheless. “I doubt this was a wise decision, manager,” she speaks quietly, hoping to avoid Hurting Teddy Bear hearing her words in case they might escalate the situation.
“However, if you decide to go through with this then I’ll be by your side,” she adds as she pulls away. Though she’s more than aware of the fact that the abnormality will attack sooner rather than later after your hug.
YURI’s face immediately bursts into shades of red. “M- Manager!!” she protests, hurriedly placing her hands on your shoulders and lightly pushing you away from her.
It’s not that she wants to reject your affection — it’s something she hasn’t felt in so long and there’s nothing more she craves than a proper hug, or even a pat on the head — but she doubts that doing this in the mirror dungeon, and right in front of an abnormality at that, is a smart decision.

Catherine | Queequeg | Sonya | Demian | Moses | Yuri
And this is the second ask for hrt shots from general projmoon characters if you have any fun ideas… could be anyone in the series… Lei Heng and Jia Qiu are the most intriguing to me as a gay transmasc but ya know. Anyone who’s interesting (even if it’s a negative reaction — Kromer could be funny)
a/n: got to your second request finally yippeeee (sorry this took a while though skjdgnsdgs)
Lei Heng is very rough and doesn’t care too much about the prep work. If something goes wrong then it’s whatever, he’s rich enough to pay someone to treat you and make that little problem go away.
He insists on being the one to give you your shots as well, mostly because he’s a pervert and an excuse to touch you is one that he won’t ever refuse. He’s also very good at reaffirming your in that he’ll repeatedly tell you how good you’re being by taking the shot so well and that he’ll reward you later.
Kong Qiu is significantly more caring with your hrt shot than Lei Heng is. He’ll make sure that you’re comfortable, handle the prep carefully and make sure that you won’t feel the needle going in by distracting you. Mostly by talking to you about a topic he thinks you’re passionate about — and one that you both preferably agree on — but he can also do it via touch as well. If holding your hand or him letting you hold his is what helps you the most through the shot, he’ll do that.
He’ll also make sure that you have access to hrt no matter what the situation is as well as giving you tips for your voice and such. If you come to him with a problem on how there’s something about you that you feel doesn’t fit your gender, he’ll look into it to give you the help you need.
Vergilius treats you like a child during the whole process because that’s what he’s used to: dealing with children throwing tantrums over not wanting to get a shot for one reason or another.
If you look like you’re the type to put up a fight, then Vergilius will hold you down — even tie you up — while he’s giving you the shot. If you look like you’re about to cry instead, he’ll try to comfort you and put effort into distracting you from the needle. Otherwise he puts the bare minimum amount of effort in — despite treating you like a kid, because you are an adult and he’s aware of that — and will give you candy afterwards. Mostly to mock you, but if you accept it then he’ll make sure to give you one after each shot.
He also reminds you of your weekly shots last minute before pulling you away from whatever you were doing to give you said shot. Don’t worry though, he’ll return you to whatever you were doing before.
There are two ways that this can go down with Kromer, really.
She can be extremely supportive — being trans is part of being human, after all! — so she’ll eagerly help you with your shots, though she might get carried away with it and fetishize your transness. She’ll coo affirmations in your ear as she gives you your shot, though she doesn’t put any effort into the prep at all — if she even bothers with it — and is more focused on feeling up your body. She’s also not above lying to you about when you need to take your shots so she can get more alone time with you and more excuses to touch you.
On the other hand, she can be extremely against you being trans because you’re denying what you were born with. Part of being human is accepting what you were born with and dealing with whatever life hands you. If you can’t accept what you were born with and what happened to you, even something that only affects you, then what different are you from prosthetic users?
As such, Kromer would kill you if you asked her for help.
Ricardo wouldn’t give you the shots himself but he’d be very supportive and get people who are experienced with this stuff to handle it and help you out.
This isn’t to say that he can’t handle the shots — he can, he’s not so weak that the sight of needles going into someone’s flesh would make him faint — but it does put him off. Still, you only need to let him know that you trust only him with the needles if you want him to be the one giving you the shot.
He helps you out in other ways; helping you with binding, going out shopping to buy every outfit that catches your eye, killing people who misgender and deadname you, reaffirming your gender, the works. Anyone who misgenders you will have their entire bloodline put into the book of vengeance, so you don’t need to worry about people acting transphobic towards you.
Ahab doesn’t care about you being trans, she won’t help you with your shots either because it won’t help her hunt down the Pallid Whale whatsoever.
She changes her tune if she ever she realizes how she can use this to manipulate you. She doesn’t care about the prep, she’s rough as she gives you the shot and she’s pretty much manhandling you during the process. It’s more likely that she’ll just toss you into the arms of a mermaid then bring you back when you’ve been turned into a mermaid as well, though.
At least she gives you plenty of gender affirmations! Not very good at keeping up with your weekly shots though, she’d do them daily.
Xue Pan’s very happy to help you but there’s no prep and also he takes some of your shots for himself. He doesn’t care if things go wrong, he will stick the needle in himself first, laugh about it, then give you the shot. He won’t go out of his way to be rough — and on some days that rarely come by, he will be gentle about it — but he will take delight in your displeasure and discomfort, as well as your pain.
He’s also terrible at reminding you to take your shots because he struggles remembering them himself.
Hohenheim is extremely pretentious about it to the point that he almost rivals Faust’s condescension when it comes to your hrt shots. Almost.
Like with most other things, this is just Hohenheim’s attempt at pushing people away so he won’t get attached to them and they, to him. He should not have accepted to help you in the first place to help keep his distance from you, but he couldn’t not help you either. So what you get instead is insults and condescension while he quietly makes sure you’re comfortable, handles the prep carefully to ensure that nothing will go wrong and distract you so you won’t even feel the needle going in.
He also sets up several reminders, both for you and himself, for your shots.
Callisto’s fascination with your body — and now, your gender identity — is what leads to him saying yes. He’d offer to rebuild you a body that reflects your gender to help speed up the process but he’s understanding if you say no because this gives him a chance to observe your body. Who knows, maybe this’ll help him make an art piece that can be understood by everyone.
He’s meticulous about everything — the prep, the shot, the reminders — but he’s disappointed by how lacklustre all of it is. He was expecting more, so more he does.
He looks into everything there is to know about transitioning so he can act accordingly. He doesn’t stop giving you shots, but he does lie about how that’s the only thing he does when he’s doing so much more. Before, he was only interested in messing around with how human bodies as they were when he pushed them to their limit, but now? After helping you with your shots? He’s interested in what kind of creations he can make by putting different materials and chemicals in human bodies.
Maybe that stops counting as corporism, but Callisto doesn’t care all that much at that point. Just don’t be surprised if you wake up as a monster one day or turn into one during the night. Though Callisto’s always happy to replace your flesh body with a prosthetic one.

can I get hohenheim x female reader fluff 🥺 I want 2 kiss him so bad...
,, Thief of my heart, thief of my lips ''
a Hohenheim x F!reader fanfiction
Notable themes: Hohenheim loves his wife and you love him. Ewww paperwork….
Extra notes: I thought it’d be super cute if you and Hohenheim were married in this so kisses are extra special <333333 (I WISH IT WAS ME. LET ME MARRY HOHENHEIM PLEASEEE). Writing this I spelt Hohenheim like Hoehenheim like 3 times. I think it’s his destiny
Word count: 984
Paperwork. Paperwork, paperwork, paperwork.
Hohenheim’s favourite thing.
Since an incident had occurred just last night when an immature new hire thought they could take fragment of the universe in a fight (and were now pretty injured) so it was up to him as the chief researcher to handle these mishaps.
Fragment of the universe is a TETH level abnormality (unfortunately they have not been able to adjust its level to the new system they’ve implemented) it's not powerful at all… but that's new hires for you.
The pen flowed smoothly across documents, sighing things, writing statements about what happened and what is going to happen moving forward, how to prevent a new hire from attempting something like this- you get the jist.
It was all needlessly tedious work.
And man was one little incident taking hours to document. So many hours wasted on scrap pieces of paper when he could’ve been studying abnormalities or further refining the extraction methods of E.G.O. suits and weapons. But no, he’s stuck in his office doing this... And no, he will not stop complaining about it.
Hohenheim barely flinched when you knocked on the door, opening it before he could even spew a small ‘come in’
,, Hey ‘Heim! ’’
,, Greetings [Name]... What do you want out of me this time? ’’
Hohenheim sarcastically remarked, putting down his pen and turning his chair to look at you.
,, I wanna steal something really quick. ’’
Your husband raised an eyebrow at you, his suspicion evident on his thin face.
,, And what may that be? ’’
You didn't answer him, instead leaning in and planting a kiss on his lips, your hand coming up to cup his cheek. The blue haired man’s head hit the back of his chair as you did so, grunting softly in surprise. But you could feel the sly smirk crossing his face.
His calloused hand came up and pulled your hand away, urging you to pull away for a moment.
,, You didn't want to steal anything at all ’’
,, Yes I did? ’’
,, What? My heart? You stole that long ago [Name] ’’
You could feel your bashfulness start to shine through, heat rising to your cheeks. Hohenheim was never a man to be awfully romantic, especially in the work place, so this did unfortunately catch you off guard.
But when were you ever one to complain?
He sighed, tugging your hand towards him before speaking.
,, Go grab yourself a chair. ’’
,, Why? There's a perfectly good one right here. ’’
Your remark caught Hohenheim surprised. Yet maybe he should have expected this- you were always more open between the two of you.
,, Embarrassed? ’’
The researcher let out a huff, leaning back in his chair to give you room to sit. Taking your victory like a proud ruler upon their throne, you laid your head against his shoulder- mindful of the large blue nails poking out of it. His hand slinked around your mid section, holding you in place before he started to write again.
Tilting your head, you planted another kiss on him- this time on his stubbly jaw. He subtly leaned in, pressing his face against your lips before you pulled away.
,, So, what happened this time? ’’
Hohenheim let out an irritated sigh- not at you, but at having to relay such an idiotic incident.
,, New hire. Tried to do something stupid with an abnormality and it didn’t go very well. And here I am, left to write it all up ’’
You nodded against his shoulder, your eyes now on the papers- this was a bit much for one incident… but the LCE has always been hell-bent on security, even the smallest bit of security compromised meant everyone had to evacuate. It makes you subconsciously wonder when the next breach will be.
It wasn’t unjust however, more and more dangerous abnormalities have been found and transferred to your facility at the headquarters, so more and more security measures have been introduced since.
You both existed in silence for a moment, Hohenheim writing and you simply observing. The sound of his pen scratching the thick paper was oddly satisfying. But carefully, you shifted to a more comfortable position.
And you heard a familiar grumble from your lover.
,, Stay still. ’’
His words caused you to chuckle softly, looking up at him you responded.
,, Sorry, ‘getting frustrated? ’’
,, No, you’re just messing up my writing. You forget that handwriting needs to be neat on these. ’’
Hohenheim gently poked your side with an almost silent chuckle.
It didn't take very long for him to finish up whatever was left of the incident report, allowing him to kick the chair away from the desk and allow himself to lean back.You of course followed suit.
,, It's not even lunch and I'm exhausted. ’’
,, Right? I didn't realise we had a time-warping abnormality here. ’’
Your husband hummed in agreement, his eyes shutting briefly and his grip on you relaxing. Eventually his breath evened out and-
He suddenly flinched awake. Leaning forward in his chair, scrambling for his pen again.
,, You okay? ’’
Hohenheim was quick to respond- only after he found a couple sheets of paper.
,, Theres an abnormality behaviour report I have to fill out on false apple. ’’
The contrast between his slight panic just now and his surprisingly monotone voice was comedic. Astonishing almost. Enough to snap you out of your drowsy state.
,, You can always go back to sleep if you wish. As long as you don't have any other business to attend to. ’’
,, Don't have to tell me twice. ’’
You happily lean back into Hohenheim, your body going still.
Lets pretend you don't have that huge report to finish so you can stay in your husband's office…
