lately loqi has been... drawing my attention alot???? so can i get some hc for loqi trying to win his s/o heart? thank you ;u;
ah yes, loqi, the brigadier general of my heart 😍 I’m so sorry this got REALLY long lol BEING IN LOQI HELL IS A BLESSING AND I’M JUST TRYING TO DRINK IT ALL IN!!!
as someone who comes from a family that belongs in Niflheim’s 1%, he always assumed the person he’d end up with was set up by his family
basically he never paid much attention to the idea of romance
he is, after all, LOQI TUMMELT OF HOUSE TUMMELT, BRIGADIER GENERAL OF THE NIFLHEIM ARMY, PILOT OF THE MA-X CUIRASS
(like ok calm down lil buddy, everyone knows. you don’t have to keep yelling out your introduction)
so just imagine how strange it was for him when he first laid eyes on you
your first meeting was brief–just a handshake after coming across him while Ravus gave you a tour
but all he could think about since that moment was you
in the following days, he would literally walk up and down the same hallway several times in hopes to catch a glimpse of you
Aranea was the first to notice how weird he’d gotten, and when she spoke about it to Ravus, the high commander immediately knew what got into him
after observing him “casually” stroll around the hallway, the two confronted him
“A crush? What an absurd suggestion, especially from a high commander of the most respected armies!”
Aranea’s just there so she can listen to him admit it
“Calm down, pipsqueak. It’s a crush, not a chance to kill Cor.”
when he finally admits these “weird feelings” about you, he grudgingly asks what he can do to get your attention
they tell him to find out your interests so he hires his subordinates to eavesdrop on your conversations and remember whatever was relevant
HE DID EVERYTHING WRONG
when he found out what your favorite flower was, he literally bought dozens
giving it to you seems like an easy enough task, right?
WRONG
he didn’t know what to do with them while he thought of a way to casually give them to you, so he shoved them in a stock room for days
the bratty boy didn’t know the gardener didn’t know there were flowers in there
why? oh because HE DIDN’T TELL THE GARDENER
by the time he actually thought of a plan, the flowers were wilted
that plan was just as dead as his flowers
he decided to go with the next cheesy thing: chocolate
obtaining your favorite chocolate bar from Insomnia proved to be a bit of a challenged
but because he’s LOQI TUMMELT OF HOUSE TUMMELT, BRIGADIER GENERAL OF THE NIFLHEIM ARMY, PILOT OF THE MA-X CUIRASS
(like for real calm down)
he found a way to head to the Crown City in casual clothing without anyone noticing he was gone
as he traversed the enemy’s streets, he commended himself for not drawing any attention
until Cor showed up, at least
the man can spot that blonde mophead from miles away
“Cor the Immortal!” He then pauses, reconsidering whether he’s really going to do this. “I... I have a favor to ask of you.”
the idea of Loqi falling head over heels for someone seemed beyond impossible to Cor; there was no way he was buying it
long story short, he and Cor get into a scuffle, and it ends in Loqi retreating to his ship
not only does he hate Cor even more now (which he thought at that point was impossible)
but he also didn’t get your chocolate
and news of their altercation reached his superiors
initially, Ardyn wasn’t very pleased but when Loqi cracked and admitted he was doing it for you, the Chancellor decided to let him go unpunished
only to see if he’d ever pluck the courage to actually ask you out
a couple days after, you accidentally bumped into him in the same hallway where you two first met
“Brigadier General Tummelt! I’m so sorry, I wasn’t looking where I was going!”
HE LITERALLY FROZE
IT WAS YOU
AND YOU CALLED HIM BY HIS TITLE
what caught his eye, however, was the growing wet stain on your blouse from the glass of water you had just accidentally spilled
“That’s–that’s quite alright! No apologies needed! I should’ve been more careful!”
why is his voice so squeaky all of a sudden?
the longer your interaction, the redder he was getting
it got to the point where he was as red as the banner on his shoulder
“Anyway... I should probably find something to cover up the stain.”
he began to panic internally, trying to find an excuse to stay with you longer
“I have a sweater in my office!”
spoiler alert: he doesn’t
you shyly reject his offer at first, but his tone of insistence and that charming smile got you hooked
the whole way to his office, all he did was ask questions about you
when you got to his office, he left you for about 5 minutes and came back with a lumpy grey sweater
Aranea’s head suddenly popped in from behind the door
“You’re welcome, Brigadier General,” she smirked with sarcasm dripping from every syllable of the last two words
she totally did that on purpose to embarrass him
it worked, and explained why the sweater had a female scent
you thanked him for his kindness and excuse yourself
this forces Loqi to grab his balls and just finally spit it out
“Are you free for dinner tomorrow night?”
you’re surprised by his invitation, thinking that someone like him didn’t have time for a personal life, but you say yes anyway
you decide on a time and place and bid your goodbyes
but not before he gently grabs your hand kisses it affectionately
when you close the door behind you, he turns around and proceeds to do what he calls his “victory dance”
“Hey Ravus, I think he finally did it!”
by the time he looks back at the door, Ravus and Aranea are leaning against the doorframe, soaking it all in
Loqi groans in embarrassment and annoyance, pushing them both out softly and making sure to lock the door
then he goes back to doing his victory dance
