If you said Maruki is a Dom. That’s totally a lie.
power imbalance, age gap, slight worship
Sleep with my SHADOW, trying to find my FAITH in tomorrow... Tired of holding on to the memories of how I used to bleed for love. Got sick of the battle, so I gave myself a heart made of metal. Calling out for someone to RESCUE me, then you came into my life. Suddenly, I feel like I can LET GO of all the insecurities weighing me down. Beautiful VISIONS come to me and they stay forever. Electric feelings keep me DREAMING I won't let go! Spinning in your starlight~! You got the power to EASE my MIND... the power to CHANGE my LIFE~! You're leading me out of the dark! Like a SAVIOR, SHINING in my soul~! .｡.:*☆
Post-canon Maruki from Persona 5 Royal with an ex-patient reader? Reader and him have been steady for two years and reader proposes (because honestly, i can see him hesitating after what happened with his previous fiancee, despite moving on i think he still has fears)

When you propose, you probably had this whole thing set up so that it’s perfect
The scenery, the mood, even a little speech about how you both aren’t perfect and have been through a lot but you really feel like you complete each other
And even though your proposal is like damn near PERFECT………… his ALMOST knee-jerk reaction is to say (don't worry, he doesn’t actually do it lol)
But in the moment, he takes a long time to answer because there’s a lot of guilt eating at him and the proposal can force him to take on all of his guilt and all of his feelings about his past head-on in a short amount of time
Things have been perfect with you but he’s seen how quickly things can go wrong so fast and he’s not keen on losing you for any reason
You’re the best thing that has happened to him in a long time and since you were his patient, he knows just how intimately you deserve greater things than what he thinks he has to offer
But at the same time… he just can’t bear the thought of letting you slip through his fingers
In the end, he does end up saying a very enthusiastic yes and jumping up and down and spinning you in his arms because he loves you damnit
But on the inside, this proposal jump-starts the realization that he has so much work left on himself and by saying yes to you, he’s made a promise to you to deal with it all and recover as much as possible
It’s gonna take a lot of time- that much he knows lol- but for you, he’ll work hard to ensure you have the husband you deserve (and who can deal with their own baggage in a healthy manner lol)
we're made for each other
pairing: takuto maruki x gn!reader
summary: you surprise your boyfriend with a marriage proposal!
“what's with all the flowers?” maruki notes, as he enters your shared apartment, after a long day of work. “i– i haven't forgotten an anniversary, have i…?”
you chuckled softly and grabbed your boyfriend's hands, pulling him into the middle of the room, into a heart of rose petals that you had spread.
“not quite~!” you told him, grabbing a tiny box when maruki wasn't looking, before turning back to him. “but… i was thinking… perhaps we could make this an anniversary!”
maruki tore his gaze away from the flowers and looked back at you, tilting his head softly, not quite understanding what you were talking about. though before he could ask about it, you smiled and got down on one knee in front of him. and that's when it finally clicked.
“takuto maruki… will you marry me?”
your boyfriend's jaw dropped and you could see by just looking at him how surprised and overwhelmed he was by the situation. soon, his eyes filled up with tears and he started nodding quickly.
“i– y-yes! yes, i want to marry you!”
Yandere Maruki Takuto Headcanons
Author's Note: What can I say? I simp for the clumsy man with the messiah complex. (Actually, I just simp for a good amount of the Confidant cast because you cannot tell me that Ryuji, Akechi, Haru, Joker, Yusuke, and Iwai wouldn't treat their loved one right. Do I have a problem? Maybe.)
Content Warning(s): Mentions of psychological manipulation, possible OOC Maruki
Regardless of how you met him, Maruki will always cherish you
Rain or shine, you can guarantee that he will do everything in his power to make you as happy as you make him—which is an amount that cannot possibly be quantified due to the fact that you make him so extraordinarily and immensely joyous
(And when I mean everything in his power, I truly mean everything in his power, but I’ll address that point later)
Even if the two of you are polar opposites, he will try his best to make you smile in his own way
I’d like to imagine that he’s a hopeless romantic too
While his career field usually makes one more practical and pragmatic, Dr. Maruki still holds onto the dream of being able to share an idealized romance with someone
Because of this, he’ll often write letters and poems professing his love for you, even though you two might already be in a relationship
Romantic dinners are a frequent occurrence, and they’ll either be at a place that is very expensive, significant to the two of you, or well-known for serving your favorite type of food
Just imagine that you want fried chicken, and he takes you out for some gourmet place that serves the best fried chicken you ever had in your life
Obviously, he always pays the bill
In fact, you never get to see the final price of the meal because he refuses to let you see the bill in the first place
Don’t worry though! He doesn’t mind the price
Seeing your face light up in delight makes the cost of the food completely worth it
There’s only one problem: he likes keeping all of this a secret from you in order to surprise you, but his clumsy disposition often results in you finding out anyway
In a perfect world, you would wake up to an eloquent letter—filled with nothing but compliments and thanks—right beside your pillow; though in actuality, Maruki trips on air and faceplants onto the ground with his letter in hand, waking you up immediately and spoiling the surprise
(In that situation, he prepares an amazing breakfast as an apology despite any protests from you that he doesn’t have to apologize)
When it comes to comforting you (and, if needed, providing advice), Maruki never fails to make to feel better as he’ll go out of his way to make the space comfortable for you before sitting next to you and listening to whatever is troubling you
If you prefer him to comfort you physically, he’ll give you all the hugs and cuddles you want until you feel better
Unless he has to deal with something extremely important, his time will be entirely dedicated to you and reducing your sorrow
(Although, it’d be important to note that advice he will provide might be a bit biased)
On another note, you can bet that he will always have your favorite snacks and candy on hand
But, don't think that Maruki is a complete softie
However, I can't blame you if you do think that way since he only shows you his more vulnerable and affectionate side
For all of the man's clumsiness, he is still capable of perfectly executing a malicious scheme
This is mainly done through psychological and emotional manipulation
(As one, the doctor literally studied the mind, and two, he is aware that he doesn't pose that much of a physical threat)
Any potential romantic rivals are driven away, believing that their flaws make them worthless individuals that burdens others
Your friends/family that don't like him become ostracized as he makes them out to be overly critical people who has it out for him for no apparent reason
And after all of this manipulation, he is still seen as the perfect boyfriend, or husband (｡ᐤヮᐤ ｡), that is head over heels in love with you
(Okay, so the last part is true, but not the first part)
Unless he wants you to know of his schemes, you are most likely none the wiser to his wicked ways!
Once his Persona fully awakens and he takes control of reality, Maruki will make the world your paradise, even if it's at the expense of other people
(I did say he'd do everything in his power to make you happy)
You wish that you didn't have to work a day in your life? Suddenly, you are a billionaire as some mysterious benefactor chose you as the lucky person to receive all of his money!
You really miss a deceased loved one or a pet? They never passed away, silly!
You want someone gone? Who are you talking about? No one even remembers they existed in the first place.
(He decided that simply removing them from reality was the best possible method of getting rid of them without causing emotional suffering onto those who don't deserve it)
"I love you so, so, so much, sweetheart. You're my entire world, just as I am yours."

"it's important to not push yourself too hard. Remember, your mind needs rest too." I looked up at him from my desk, sighing while placing my pen down.
"alright, fine.."

"everytime I look at him.. I feel like I've failed him as his older sister." I mumbled, looking up after a few seconds of silence from him.
"I hope you know, he adores you more than you think.." he said to me, slowly intertwining our hands in comfort.

I looked at the boy with a raised brow, an unamusing smile on my face "are you sure you know what you're doing?"
He simply chuckled, "what? don't trust me?"
I nodded immediately, "Akira, I absolutely do not trust you"

"What about my sister damn it!" Ryuji yelled at Maruki, taking another step forward. "are you just going to break her heart like this?"
Maruki grunted at the sound of your name, the thought of your smile entirely replacing his thoughts of Rumi "don't mention her." he grimaced. "she has nothing to do with this."

"Don't you want to be with her?"
