piano man
ever the leader that he is, piano man finds that he has many priorities to tend to, but his number one will always be you — his kisses are reverent and worshipful, always ensuring you that nothing else in the world is more sacred to him than your shared love
his days will typically start off very busy at an instant. his first kiss to you is in the morning when he gets out of bed, a soft press of his lips to yours with the quiet murmur of a promise to come back home soon, yet the temptation to stay remains strong as you tug him back onto the sheets with a whispering plea for just five more minutes (how can he say no to you?)
there is a fragile sanctity present in every kiss that follows. he’ll make sure that you never forget just how perfect you are in his eyes, allowing himself to soak in the atmosphere of the moment as he takes his time with you, leading and guiding your lips to mold with his own
while his kisses may feel routinely at first, there’s a silent solace in knowing that he’s made you a part of his every single day. not a sun will pass over your heads where you aren’t in it, and god forbid a day comes when he’ll end it without you being the last thing he sees at night
no words are ever capable of expressing just how much you mean to him. you’re the real dollar among supernotes, something so special and irreplaceable
lippmann
for an actor, you often have difficulties telling whether or not his words and gestures mean anything towards others, but he promises that everything he says and does to and for you are always genuine — his kisses are passionate and sincere with nothing to hide
when he kisses you, it’s raw and unguarded behind any façade. there’s a kind of honesty in the loving press of his lips to yours that no one else will ever be blessed enough to witness, because such a thing is meant for you and you alone
though he doesn’t mind public displays of affection, his preferences always lean towards loving on you in private, be it in the comfort of your shared bedroom or in any empty corner of his film sets. both hands cup your cheeks and his brows furrow as he indulges himself in your lips, breathy sighs and the softest noises shared between you both as he lets himself linger in the taste of you
it’s never the same when he’s called to give kisses on sets — his best is reserved for you and you only, his beloved muse and inspiration for everything he does
and when you find yourself jealous of those receiving his kisses on set? goodness, he’s sure to make it up to you immediately after, pressing another kiss to your knuckles as both an apology and a promise to his only love
iceman
ironic to his name, the world around you melts away when iceman presses his lips to yours for a kiss — his kisses are tender and reassuring, and the unhurried nature of them always makes you feel like you’re home in his arms
ever the gentleman, he’ll always ask for your consent before pursuing your lips. he never wants to make you feel uncomfortable, usually holding your hand in the process or cupping your cheek to guide you
any affectionate action he takes towards you is warm, a stark contrast to his name. his kisses easily steady the racing beat of your heart, soothing any inner turmoil you may be carrying on your own
not once does he ever rush, often savoring the moment when it happens. his kisses speak of comfort with a lack of urgency, prioritizing the feel of the moment without thoughts of what could happen after
and when he feels like it, he’ll rest his forehead against yours with the softest sigh. no words are exchanged, but you can tell just how much he loves you so
albatross
albatross kisses you with the same enthusiasm as a high school boy would when he kisses his crush on the cheek for the first time — his kisses are playful and breathless, able to coax giggles from your lips between each peck and smooch
he sees you not just as his partner, but as his playmate. to him, you are someone who halves his sorrow when he is sad and doubles his joy when he is ecstatic. for that, he loves you so, and he promises to quarter your sorrows and quadruple your joys
his kisses will often come out of nowhere in an attempt to catch you off guard. you could be going about your day normally and you’d feel a pair of lips and accompanied by a loud “mwah!” right on the apple of your cheek (and you find yourself flustered every time)
he never forgets to give you a forehead kiss after putting your helmet on when you two go out for late night drives on his motorcycle — it’s his way of saying that yes, he’s a bit of an airhead, but he’ll always make sure to keep you safe no matter the situation
and when he presses his lips to yours, there’s always a laugh between bated breaths, and he can’t help but smile at how fortunate he is to share such a happy kind of love with you
doc
it is because of you that doc finds himself closer to the divine creator in his every waking moment, knowing that you, an earthly being, are the closest thing he has to touching heaven — his kisses are healing yet feverish, able to weaken your knees and make your head spin dizzily
he kisses you the same way he dresses the wounds of a patient — meticulous and attentive, taking note of every sigh and shiver that slips from between your lips
every kiss is a contradiction in itself. they are both soothing but desperate, soft but fiery with the kind of longing for more before being met with a relief that you two share. he never rushes, much the same way he approaches every surgical operation, and he’s precise enough with every movement that it makes you burn up
if he’s feeling playful enough, he’ll bite your lip teasingly, jagged teeth leaving little marks while you whine at the unexpected feeling (you can’t argue, however, not when you enjoy his antics so much)
after a long day of tending to other people, he lets himself be taken care of by you, his trust unwavering with a kiss to show that even when his life is in your hands, it’s you who he’ll always have faith in
a/n: i actually wrote this in the midst of having a panic attack during a practice session LMAO so take this as something of a word vomit of sorts (that i hope makes sense)! this is also the appetizer for my stormbringer event, so i hope you enjoyed reading this! :>
One might expect, that living with a literal theatre kid ("I'm an actor, Kajii, not a theatre kid.") would mean a lot of voluntary-forced inclusion in rehearsals.
It wasn't the case with Lippmann. For the most part. Normally, he rehearsed for himself or in the theatre, never asking you gor help.
But, there were rare occasions, where he need helping.
"So, I just need to stay there? By the wall?"
Your back was pressed against library' wall. Lippmann nodded. You asked next question.
"Wait... What exactly you are rehearsing?"
Corner of Lippmann's mouth twitched. He was avoiding your gaze.
"It's not a full rehearsal... I need to mentally prepare for a certain scene..."
You gave him a curious look. Lippmann was quite open about his theatre work. Right now, it felt like he was dodging the question. Well, you still believed him.
Lippmann stepped closer to you.
"Ready?"
You nodded.
"Yes, ready."
Lippmann take a deep breath. He leaned closer, look you in the eyes. Your cheeks started to heat up.
"You are the most valuable treasure in the whole world."
He whispered and pressed his lips against yours.
You don't know, if Character №2 (who you were "playing") were supposed to kiss Character №1 (Lippmann) back, run fingers through their hair and hug them, but Lippmann wasn't against it.
When you broke the kiss, Lippmann let out a little laugh.
"Thank you. When I learn about the kiss scene in a next play, I knew that I needed to rehearse it with you, my dear spouse."
You gave him a sly grin.
"So you could imagine me, instead of your co-actor."
I hope you’re doing well, and don’t have too much stress right now <3
Do you know those little, heart-shaped charms for necklaces, where you can put a photo inside? Could I please request (whatever format you’re comfortable with) getting one of those, with Verlaine? I’m not sure if you write for multiple characters, but if you do, could I add pianomann or Lippmann? Anyway, take your time
bye!
a/n: hello! i apologize that this took so long ;;w;; as you can see, i'm on hiatus, as well as dealing with other stuff from college- thank you so much for ur patience! i hope you enjoy! :DDD (also this request is fucking adorable- i had to do it first AS;DLKFJ;ALSDKFJ)
pairing: Verlaine, Pianoman, Lippmann X GN!Reader (separately)
cw: a little sad in Verlaine's, half-proofread
desc: you gifted your partner a heart locket with a photo of you inside.
Verlaine:
Receives the necklace pre-SB
It wasn’t originally his idea to wear a piece of jewelry like a necklace in the first place, let alone one that had a picture of you in it
Of course, he was fond of you, but his mind never crossed physically carrying or wearing something that reminded him of you (it was partially for your own safety as well, as he didn’t want to burden you with the consequences of being close with an assassin)
At first, he grimaced at the necklace when you handed it to him, until you opened up the locket, revealing a small image of you (to which he let out a soft sigh, dropping his expression, before placing it in his pocket)
You honestly thought he just never wore it at all, as you recall his reaction to the hat that Rimbaud gave him, but unbeknownst to you, he kept it in his pocket for a while until he eventually chose to put it on one day because it kept slipping out
He wears it underneath his clothes, so you definitely can’t tell if he’s wearing it or not (he doesn’t take it off because he loves you he doesn’t like the sensation of the cold metal after taking it off/putting it on)
Didn’t really appreciate the gift, and just wore it on him, until one day, he stripped off to shower himself in the PM basement and heard a rattling coming from his neck
He looked down, fingers gently brushing over the locket that laid over his heart
His eyes traveled towards it as he opened it, staring at the small image of you smiling with a faint blush on your cheeks
He closes the locket with a soft sigh, similar to one he’d give you whenever you showed him a romantic gesture
Now he finds himself wondering if you’re going to come back for him (or if he’ll find himself coming back to you)
Pianoman:
Gifted you a locket before you gave him one: snuck up behind you and placed the locket around your neck before fastening it and placing a kiss on your hair
it was his idea to make a locket for you with a picture of him, so he was happy to see you reciprocate the gesture with the same gift
Upon receiving it, he still had the same gentle smile, but with a sparkle in his eyes as he looked at the gift, reaching for your hand and leaving a kiss on the back of it
“ Thank you, my sweet.”
Threaded the chain of the locket to a small loop on the inside of his vest’s left chest pocket (so that it’s closer to his heart); neatly tucked in the pocket so that it doesn’t fall out
When he’s alone, he’ll open up the locket to look at the small picture of you; it leaves a small smile on his face as he continues to do his work diligently (in short: he has a “this is who I’m doing it for” moment)
The necklace is a little stained by how often he touches it; will brush his fingers over the metal when he’s about to go on a mission/goes into work
He doesn’t give me the vibe that he kisses the locket, but he definitely likes to feel it beneath his bare fingers (he will take off his gloves to feel the metal, it calms him down)
At the end of work, he takes it out of his vest and usually puts it on a tray by his nightstand, but sometimes you’ll find him holding it in his hand as he’s falling asleep
His heart flutters whenever he notices you fidgeting with the locket he gave you
Lippmann:
since this man is EVERYWHERE, literally running around doing work from place to place you decided to gift him something that reminded him of you
He happily accepted the gift with a gentle smile and placed it around his neck
“ Does it look good on me, darling?” You nod. “ Good, now I’ll be able to take you with me everywhere.”
I was going to say that he carries it in a pocket or something, but similar to Verlaine, he wears it underneath his clothes, making sure that it’s close to his chest
Doesn’t take it off unless he absolutely needs to, and when he does, he places it back in it’s box, making sure it’s tucked safely away
If someone happens to spot the necklace that he’s wearing (say a costume assistant/one of the flags) he’s such a bragger-
“ Oh this? My darling gave it to me. The locket has such a beautiful picture or them. Aren’t they so sweet? Gifting me such a lovely reminder of them.”
[insert romantic sigh from Lippmann, and Chuuya rolling his eyes and silently gagging]
He does not shut up about it and you- he loves you too much
Before every mission, performance, meeting, etc. he’ll pull out the locket, placing a soft kiss on the metal before tucking it back under his shirt
If he has some down time and is reading a book, if he’s not with you, his hand will pull out the necklace from his neck and wrap it around his fingers as he often holds your hand as he reads with his other hand
[thanks for reading until the end! thank you to anon for requesting once again >:D i'm still on hiatus, but i'm writing little by little when i find the motivation- if you'd like to support me further, feel free to leave a tip on my kofi or send me a comm! <3]
You’ve always been good at your job, did all that he asked for with no complaints and go along with what he had in mind, that’s why he likes you so much. You don’t really know or expect just how deep that “like” runs, it’s not even just fondness anymore it’s obsession, he doesn’t know when it took for a turn but it did at some point. Does he want to go back? Never, not really.
He realizes he likes you and he’s deep into the pit of desiring you to be with him. He’s nice, and he keeps an eye out for his reputation but there isn’t anything bad if he gave you a bit of a raise, yes? You deserve it after all, along with a lot of other nice things in life he could get ahold of—
being his assistant - yandere!lippmann (bsd)
includes ; lippmann (bungo stray dogs stormbringer)
warning ; yandere themes, mentions of murder, mostly soft!! <3 still yandere. i talk about the reader's hair here so if you're bald then i apologize 👍 also a gaslighting joke but i think he'd do it
note ; I AM SO IN LOVE WITH THIS. GIGGLIGN AND VIOLENTLY SHAKING AND CAUSING AN EARTHQUAKE. I COULDNT REALLY TELL IF THIS WAS A REQUEST (PROBABLY WASNT) BUT I WANTED TO WRITE MORE FOR IT ANYWAY SOO
being lippmann's assistant was an easy job, really. no issues, aside from maybe a jealous fan who thought you were kept too close to the famous actor you worked under.
you caught him staring on numerous occasions. he was just so kind, wasn't he? you know how some famous people aren't as nice as they are when they're interviewed? this just wasn't the case for lippmann - he was perfect, exactly how he presented himself to the public.
sometimes, no — more often than just sometimes, lippmann gave you gifts and compliments. little hair clips, rings or any other accessories from recent movies that he got to keep? why, of course, it goes straight to you! just take the gift, it reminded him of you the entire time he filmed! he made sure to say that the thought of you helped him focus on set. he was just so kind, wasn't he?
lippmann always found himself touching you. was it an arm on your shoulder while he thanked you kindly for bringing him the drink — your choice, of course. go ahead and get yourself a cup of the same thing. he wanted to know your favorite. chances were, he'd ask for the same drink again — or was it the way he gently placed his thumb on your cheek, taking your focus away from the papers of this week's schedule and to him. he would tell you it was dirt on your face, but he kept his thumb there for another moment before straightening his tie and walking away, back to whatever he was doing while your face had flushed from his sudden affection. was there anything on your face? nope!
obviously, your paycheck was smaller than his. you could afford nice things, but of course, lippmann could always buy clothing with the nicer fabrics, and just about everything else with better quality. he knows that you don't have the money for things as nice as he does, but you get around just find with about half of what he makes, aside from any other forms of income he has. the man enjoys buying you things. no matter how much you protest against him spending that, you come to an agreement that you'll pay it back to him. does he let you pay it back in the future? nope, he probably gaslights you 🫶
this is.. obsession. what started as a fond liking to you had escalated and grown to a deep infatuation. lippmann has a good name out there, and getting blood on his hands for you? he'd do it, absolutely. as much as he would love to kill someone who wronged you, you can't get revenge and keep a spotless reputation.
but being a part of the port mafia, he has his ways, doesn't he? lippmann has good connections, and while you don't exactly know other than his relations with the legal side, he still has the ability to get a target on that person's head. who from the organization would pass up an opportunity to kill someone for money?
[ a/n ;; honestly i got more but im so fuckign tired its like 4:33 am and i'm running out of brain energy ]
Ello pixyys! I have a request BUT PLEASE DO THIS AFTER YOU'VE FINISHED ALL OF YOUR HOMEWORK AND FINALS!!! AND TAKE YOUR TIME PLEASE I DON'T WANT YOU BURNING OUT!
so for my request, can I request the Flags with a reader who really likes classical music and hates any sacrilegious-ness and they are able to play the piano and other instruments too? And they have really good classical music knowledge and can name any piece in like a few seconds- wait why am I sounding like I'm describing myself ;-;
ANYWAYSSS stay safe drink water get enough sleep I love you mwah
— artistic elegance.
bsd characters with a reader who likes classical music, plays various musical instruments and despises sacrilege. (fellow twosetters, iykyk👀)
ft. the flags + some small extras at the end :)
warnings/notes. gn! reader
💌HII SILVER!! thank you for the request!! and aa tysm i love you too <33 i love that gif! bsd wan gives me life (´͈ ᵕ `͈ ) also! i'm still not that familiar with the flags' personalities, so they might be a bit ooc :" but i hope this is up to your expectations!
piano man
piano man is a cultured gentleman! he may not be as well-versed in classical music as you do. but he might know one or two of the popular pieces.
this man is a man of whimsy and cruel elegance. needless to say, he respects art and delicacy. and more than all, he is drawn to your immaculate and refined taste in music.
he loves hearing you talk about your interest! from your long rambles about a particular piece to small trivia about concerts and the likes.
he will reassure you that he's not using piano wires to strangle people (lmao)
please please please make a joke about how "piano man" can't play the piano (silver iykyk haha)
if you're willing, piano man will be interested in learning the piano from you. at least to honour his name (it's just his ploy to spend more time with you <3)
he'll come to your concerts and see you play if you're performing in one <3 alternatively, you both go to orchestras and classical music concerts together
he's also canonically fastidious, so he respects perfection. he's inwardly proud if you're very dedicated to your practices. he likes hardworking people.
however! he'll know when to stop you when you're overworking yourself. when your eyebrows start to crease and that gleam in your eyes whenever your fingers dance on the piano keys fades away, he'll silently approach you, gently reaching for your hand and pressing a kiss on your cheek.
"you've done enough, love. you're amazing. you'll do splendidly."
does stopping you from practising 40 hours a day count as sacrilege? probably. as much as he hates upsetting you, piano man is willing to commit any sin if it's meant for your well-being and safety </3
lippmann
another chap who's fairly familiar with classical music. i'm sure some of his movies use classical music as soundtracks, and at some point, he has most likely acted as a musician character.
very intrigued by your extensive knowledge of musical instruments and classical pieces. he will definitely ask you for some pointers for when he has to act in a musical performance scene.
oh boy. the poor guy doesn't know what he signed up for.
"your wrist is too low. your bowing looks off," you comment as you both watch a particular scene where he act-plays the violin.
from then on, he takes your suggestions and corrections very seriously, which he is very grateful for because they help his acting career too.
more than anything though, lippmann doesn't want to upset you by committing "sacrilege"—as you like to call it.
you can teach him, let's say, a violin, or any other musical instrument. alternatively, you can take crash courses together as cute little dates <3 (all the more opportunity to flex your skills and impress him haha)
he's doing it very well, though. he's a fast learner. it's almost unfair how he has a natural talent for almost everything; from acting to negotiation skills.
he is.. very pretty.. regardless if people recognize him as a popular actor or not. so you may start regretting it when everyone from the course is starting to crowd him lmao. maybe this is not a very good idea after all,,
but! imagine this:
it's well-known that lippmann's music-acting is getting more realistic and accurate. there's this particular scene in a romance movie he starred in that causes quite a ruckus among his fans: the character he acted is playing a piece dedicated to his beloved. but his act-performance is just so 'full of love' and everyone goes crazy over it. when an interview session asks him about how he did this, he just smiles into the camera and,
"oh, i did picture a special person during that scene. they've helped me a lot, and i'm very grateful for them. you can say that 'performance' was dedicated for them."
i digress. but i'd simply die lmao
oh well, the internet will go crazy, again. "hit actor lippmann's secret muse!?" as said by the headline of the tabloid magazine. but eh, as they said, all's well should end well.. probably.
albatross
no matter how i see him, albatross is a menace (lmao)
he's likely to not know a lot about classical music and musical instruments in general. but hey! trying is also a love language.
probably gets curious when you are practising. after you explain to him the basics, there is a high chance he'll go "oh! as i expected, you're very amazing! i think i'll go for the triangle instead." 💀
he's just very impressed at whatever you're doing. you pulled off a particularly difficult, or just a so-so piece? "woah! that is so cool!" you somehow manage to name any classical piece playing within five seconds? "what kind of sorcery are you doing?!" you're going on a long ramble about how a movie depicted orchestras and piano-playing very very wrongly? albatross has no idea what you're talking about. but whatever you're doing, don't stop. he likes seeing you all happy and enthusiastic. there's something about how your eyes light up or how a smile bloom on your lips. they never fail to make his day brighter.
this man is competitive. at one point, he will start listening to classical pieces and make it a competition on who can name a piece's title whenever there's one playing. of course, he loses, every time. can't forget that time he called Franz Liszt's Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2 "that one tom and jerry song."
"it's a piece, not a song, albatross."
"but it's still in tom and jerry."
well, he's not wrong, technically.
albatross will probably get excited (and be embarrassing), gushing over you if he ever comes to see you perform in a concert or the like. "look at them! they're so cool!" he'll half-whisper to anyone sitting close to him until he receives several warning glares for being noisy. oh well, at least he knows not to clap during auditions.
please prevent this man from doing any more sacrilege (lmao i keep on slandering him, sorry albatross you're a real one for this </3)
iceman
this man canonically likes to drink coffee and listen to records—a side only a few people know, and you're one of those few people.
he listens to a variety of genres, and classical pieces vinyl take up considerable space in his collection. he may be the closest to being fairly knowledgeable in classical pieces as you are.
he might not be the type to play a musical instrument himself. instead, he adores hearing you play. not that the recordings are bad, but your playing is just much more relaxing and the sounds flow better to his ears.
maybe above all, it's your presence that he finds peace from. either way, iceman is glad he can know someone who shares an overall similar interest with him.
you both can go to a record store! watch him just chuckle in amusement whenever you perk up as the store plays a classical piece, then immediately recognize the piece's title. he finds your enthusiasm cute. and not to mention, that broad knowledge is impressive. even he can't remember that many classical pieces.
he will be very grateful if you shove a good amount of music recommendations to him, or make a playlist for him! iceman might just listen to it in his free time because they remind him of you <3
in terms of sacrilege, he doesn't really mind much and leans on the more chill side. oh? that movie you're both watching is playing a very badly acted orchestra scene? he finds the way you internally cringe amusing. but iceman understands how such things really upset you, so he'll be there to listen to your rambles and criticisms.
all in all, he's a very chill but loving guy <3
doc
he is mostly ambivalent about classical music and musical instruments. but as a doctor, he knows well that classical music is scientifically proven to be able to reduce stress and alleviate anxiety.
for that reason, he might know one or two things about classical music. but nothing too in-depth besides the fact it has some therapeutic effects to it.
hence! it's the perfect opportunity to tell him everything you know! (and flex when you're at it)
"doc! don't you know that not all classical music is relaxing? for example this one-"
he watches curiously as you show him a recorded piece, the '1812 overture.' he did expect and somewhat know that there are fast-paced and energetic classical pieces out there. but he did not expect canon fires incorporated into the piece.
"this sounds like it'll give people from the mafia anxiety instead."💀
but yeah. as someone who studied a lot, and used to be a student before being a doctor, he seems like the type who appreciates knowledge very much. he is intrigued by the tidbits of occasionally out-of-pocket trivia you casually bring up.
all the same, he likes listening to you play after he's done with his work, or during his day off. being a doctor can be more stressful than being on the front lines, as there are many injuries he had to treat as soon as possible, and he has to handle occasional foolish and careless individuals who don't heed his warnings.
but! doc, hence his name, is a doctor. he will not take it kindly if you're pushing yourself with your practice, or being too anxious about an upcoming concert or performance. while not musically adept enough to help you with practices, doc will try his best to calm you down, reminding you that fatigue can ruin your concentration too. he's heard you play and practice multiple times, so he reassures you that all you need is just rest and you'll ace the performance.
all things considered, he just really cares for your well-being <3
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
♡ extra! ♡
adam will take you to a museum of musical instruments. fascinating. you can see not only today's instruments, but also pianos, violins, and cellos over the years. this man can and will give you elongated lectures about each instrument. fun and informative!
chuuya is very extra himself, and he will do the same in handling your interest; if you want, he'll take you to equally very extra operas and concerts, where you all dress up fancy and wear those nifty galilean binoculars to see the stage. classy!
verlaine probably doesn't understand why or how you grow to like music, particularly classical music very much. but! he is fond of how you're very passionate about it, and not sharing the same interest won't stop him to ask you for a dance—a slow waltz only yours and your own to share with him. during late nights after private dinners, he sways you gently, holding you close; whether with a piece playing in the background or just the sound of your hums and heartbeat. your steps may be clumsy or hesitant, but he will catch you before you stumble.
end notes. aaand that's a wrap! not me imagining date scenarios with each one of them lmao. was in a very fluffy mood haha! had a lot of fun writing this
NOTES: I wanted to write something for The Flags and Chuuya for a very very long time since I first read Stormbringer. I just want to give it a chance to write for them, too. About the request, please wait for me, I'm working so hard to write them.
Part 2 here.
1. Chuuya Nakahara
Chuuya would do if you ask him to put on lipstick for you.
He of course knew a lot of things about lipstick like what type of lipstick you would like to use today or what kind of lipstick brand was famous or what kind of brand was good for your health.
So let’s start with every day Chuuya got ready to work with you, when you asked him to put on lipstick for you because you were in a hurry.
Chuuya himself was talented in putting lipstick for you by his own hand, he even knew that after putting the lipstick on you would have some reluctant one stuck on your lips so he forced you to stand still just to wipe it for you.
“My lovely little candy, this kind of color is suitable for you.”
2. Lippmann
As a famous actor, Lippman would know how to put on lipstick for his beloved.
And if you asked him whether he wanted to help you put on your lipstick, Lippman would not refuse your saying. Because he loved to do that after all, in his mind, this was one of the ways for him to show his affection for you.
Carefully put on the lipsticks for you, he was good at doing those stuff when it related to cosmetics, like I said, Lippman was an actor after all.
Like Chuuya he would wipe the reluctant lipstick for you, but he was more professional than Chuuya, though.
I almost forgot, Lippman would be happy if you asked him what kind of lipstick you should buy since he may know a lot about the brand of lipstick. Somehow, he would buy you some lipsticks which were good for your health and made you look beautiful.
Always praised you even if you wore lipstick or not.
“My dear, you look so pretty whether you put on lipsticks or not.”
3. Doc
You better wait for his lecture if you want him to put on lipstick for you.
I mean… Doc was a doctor, right? He was the one who graduated in North America and was awarded with the doctorate, so he would know a lot of things which were good for your health or not.
He would care for your health by buying lipstick by himself, when you asked him the reason why Doc just answered that he knew the ingredients and the percentage of the chemicals inside the lipstick he bought which was good for you or not.
Doc would give you a lecture of how lipstick would affect your health, because he knew that was not good for you or your health. You should know that Doc loved you dearly so he wanted the best for you by giving his advice on the kinds of lipstick you should use.
Doc always recommended you to use lip balm instead of lipstick because he said that lip balm can help your lips be beautiful enough.
“Just use your lip balm because you are beautiful enough when wearing this.”
4. Pianoman
Whenever you asked Pianoman as if he could help you to put on your lipstick, he would do it for you.
Pianoman always wanted to know what kinds of lipsticks that you loved to use. And when he knew what type of lipsticks you wanted, you better be prepared, because… Pianoman would attack you with tons of lipsticks that he bought for you (of course, you may know that he asked Doc about the ingredients and the chemicals of the lipsticks).
He would slowly follow your instruction which you had shown him before, his hand still got a little bit shuddered but Pianoman still managed to make it stay still, he did not want to ruin your beauty because of his shaking hands.
Calling you his beautiful princess after adjusting lipstick for you became his habit every day.
“You are very beautiful, my dear princess.”
5. Albatross
Even if you asked Albatross to help you wear the lipsticks or not, he would always be over you to make you let him do that for you.
And when Albatross helped you to put on the lipstick, you were afraid that he could not do it. But Albatross proved that you were wrong by carefully putting the lipstick on your lips (of course, he would follow your instructions since he did not know everything at all).
Albatross would always notice as if you needed new lipstick or not, if you were put in the situation of running out of lipstick at the time you needed it most. For example, you were planning to go to a party and needed lipstick to make your lips not to pale in front of the public. But sadly you forgot to buy more, not to worry, because Albatross got you.
He then had his chance to show off the lipsticks that he had prepared for you, all of them were the type you always used, of course.
Loved when you accidentally kissed his cheek while wearing lipsticks.
“Do you want to mark me as your one and only? Aw, you should know that I’m already yours, my love.”
6. Iceman
Guessed that you wanted to ask him to put on lipsticks for you a lot but you did not know how to say it. But Iceman always got your heart when he accidentally asked you as if you wanted him to help you wear your lipstick.
Iceman would gently put on your lipstick, because… he said that you were a woman so he should be soft with you. He also used his finger in order to take the reluctant lipstick from the corner of your mouth too. And… you appreciate his talent, Iceman always made your lipstick look as alright as possible on your face.
If you wanted to eat something but when you were wearing lipstick, Iceman would take out the wet tissue then wipe it away for you. Don’t worry, he would probably help you to wear it on again after you finished eating. If you asked him why he did it, then Iceman answered that he had heard from some people that lipsticks may contain chemicals which are not good for your health if you swallow them.
Always helped you to choose the best color for your skin.
“I think that light-red lipstick will suit you more than the bold one you are holding in the other hand.”
Sitting in a room with the flags and you have to choose your seat-
Your options are-
**trigger warning: mildly suggestive content in piano man’s.**
•piano man’s lap- his hands are constantly skimming your waist a brushing over your thighs. He’s doing it absentmindedly, or at least that’s what he wants it to look like. Every move of his hand is intentional… while he smiles and laughs with the other flags. He’s touching you up, and pretending to not even be thinking about what he’s doing. He’ll put his chin on your shoulder with a closed eyed smile as he talks about some mission he had that day to the other flags…. But they’re all too secretly focused on his hand to listen…. His hand which is… under your skirt…. Squeezing your thighs… and when someone finally calls him out for it he hums. “Oops…. Guess i wasn’t paying attention….” His eyes open to an narrow gaze with a smug smirk. “But y/n doesn’t mind… do you dear….” You shake your head no as his hands ride higher, rubbing at your inner thighs as he purrs. “See… there’s no problem… and if it’s your jealousy, I’d like to remind you all that I’m the leader. I get first dibs….”
Albatross’s lap- good luck getting comfortable because he’s moving moving moving. Can’t sit still type but he WANTS you on his lap. So no you can’t get up and move because you chose to sit there and now you have to stay with him. Albatross coos to the group about how cute you are every couple of minutes, poking your cheeks and kissing at your temples. You’ll find yourself suddenly being held cradle style in his arms, and he’ll show off how secretly strong he is when he stands up with you bridal style so he can go get himself something to drink. Really he’s just taking you into the kitchen so he can sit you on the counter and slide himself between your legs. He wraps both arms around your waist and grins up at you, begging for a kiss and telling you the others don’t have to know.
Lippmann’s lap- he raises a brow when you choose your seat with him but he’s all too pleased with your choice of seating. He normally isn’t one to initiate lots and lots of physical contact but you’ve made it too easy for him… and you’re clearly comfortable with his closeness. Lippmann’s gentle hand caressing your hair as he speaks so eloquently to the group, only pausing to look down at you with a soft smile and whisper at a tone no one else can hear. “You’re beautiful…” Someone else is quick to angrily ask him what he just whispered to you (most likely albatross or chuuya.) but he just looks up with a soft smile and hum’s. “Some secrets must stay between the bounds of lovers…. I don’t need to tell you what i told her.” “Yeah but she’s not your lover so buzz off!!” Lippmann braids your hair while he talks, pausing to occasionally pepper gentle kisses along your jaw, calling you a sea of romantic and poetic pet names.
Doc’s lap- well- not his lap to be exact. That’s not an excellent idea as he’s incredibly bony, as well as easy to hurt if you shifted the wrong way. But he’s all to happy to pull you right up next to him and wrap an arm around your waist. You’ve set yourself up to be studied by him for the rest of the night. He quietly inspects your hair, running his fingers through it. He brushes his fingers along your skin, mumbling about how soft it is. If he’s not doing that then he might as well be in your lap, because he’s going to be laying all over you. Your shoulders? his pillows. Your chest? His pillows. Your thighs? His pillows. He’ll carry on with his same casual and odd conversation input with the others, while practically crawling into your skin, his head nuzzling into your thighs. Can and will absolutely shamelessly grab your hand and put it on his head. You know what he wants and you better pet that boy’s hair.
Iceman’s lap- he seems mildly shocked when you choose his lap as your resting place, but he’s cool with it, and he shows you that. His hands remain somewhat idle, but he wraps his arms around your waist and quietly rests his chin on your shoulder while he listened to the others ramble, only giving his input every few minutes. If the others aren’t looking he might dip his nose into the crook of your neck and quietly breath in your scent for a second, squeezing you a little tighter. If he had something to tell you he mutters it softly into your ear instead of saying it loudly for the others to hear. “Is that a new shampoo? It doesn’t have the coconut scent like your old one….” “It is… how’d you notice?” “Mm~ i just notice these things i guess….” Sometimes he just closes his eyes, and you’ll catch him dozing off on your shoulder. Only wake him up if you have to. He works at night a lot when he’s doing his hitman work so he’s secretly very very sleepy.
a mini-series of one shots dedicated specifically for the characters of bungo stray dogs: stormbringer!
✑ 𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙜𝙧𝙖𝙢 𝙣𝙤𝙩𝙚𝙨 !
based on the planets suite, op. 32 by gustav holst, one of my favorite orchestral works ever. i thought it would be nice to write something for this, mostly because i attended a very special performance of it around a month ago (and also to celebrate the manga adaptation that recently came out)!
because the piece contains seven movements based on each planet of the solar system (as well as their respective personalities), i will be assigning one movement per character, as listed below:
i. mars, bringer of war : paul verlaine x reader
the ominous and angry first movement of the entire suite ; represents the roman god of war, mars
contains nsfw. MDNI!
ii. venus, bringer of peace : lippmann x reader
the ethereal yet eerie second movement, a slower contrast to the first ; represents the roman goddess of love, venus
iii. mercury, the winged messenger : albatross x reader
the fast and vivacious third movement, short yet playful ; represents the roman god of commerce and messengers, mercury
iv. jupiter, bringer of jollity : piano man x reader
the well-known and majestic fourth movement of the planets containing the most popular theme of the seven ; represents the roman king of all gods, jupiter
v. saturn, bringer of old age : iceman x reader
the slow and unsettlingly powerful fifth movement accompanied by a harp with passages as icy as the planet’s rings ; represents the roman god of time, saturn
vi. uranus, the magician : adam frankenstein x reader
the boisterous and idiosyncratic sixth movement ; represents the roman god of the sky, uranus
vii. neptune, the mystic : doc x reader
the mysterious and other-worldly seventh movement ; represents the roman god of the sea, neptune
✑ 𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙤𝙧𝙚 !
typically, when a performance is well-received, an encore unrelated to the main repertoire played follows. that being said, i’ll be applying the same principle for this mini-series for another character if the audience wishes. should these one shots be received well enough, i will add a bonus (underrated) character to the list, based on the helios overture, op. 17 by carl nielsen, just to complete the entire solar system for this repertoire. ;>
(encore!) an overture to helios : ??? x reader
a concert overture so warm and brooding, it paints a picture of the sun rising and falling over the aegean sea with swelling strings ; dedicated to helios / sol, god of the sun
i have so much love for this piece in particular (as it is one of the orchestral works i grew up listening to), so i hope you guys get to enjoy it as much as i do through some of the stormbringer characters. 🫶 much like holst himself (who favored saturn), i also have a favorite movement here so i tried not to be so biased about it lmao (i gave it to piano man).
these one shots won’t be connected in any way (unless you’re creative enough to find some way to connect them lol)! feel free to read them in any order — i assigned those movements to certain characters solely because i thought they fit the music and the context behind each part of the suite. :}
as for the scheduling: expect the one-shot to drop every time a new chapter of hoshikawa’s stormbringer adaptation is out (which means this will be monthly)! i will do my best to time it right!
next one-shot: lippmann x reader -> april 30!
also, just a short heads-up: some one shots may or may not contain nsfw! and as always, when that is the case, MDNI!
anyway, hopefully i get to play this piece one day! :’>
