[chilschuck]

beach day headcanons please (any characters you’d like)!!! we were deprived of the typical anime fanservice imo

`✦ ˑ ִֶ 𓂃⊹ ohhhhhh my gosh anon i was literally SO SO HAPPY to get this ask!!! decided to stick with the usual charas you guys enjoy, plus some falin!!! hope this turned out okay and thank you so much for having me write it for you!!! <333

— DUNMESHI BEACH DAY HCS.

꒰ charas: ꒱ laios, chilchuck, falin, & mickbell.

꒰ warnings: ꒱ none! sfw + fluff with gn!reader.

꒰ wc: ꒱ 1.4k

✦ hope this turned out okay!! it was such a cute idea and so much fun that if anyone has requests for more charas, i’d be more than happy to do it!! <33

— LAIOS:

✦ We know that he doesn’t do well in hot weather, so you can imagine he’d be sporting only swimsuit trunks and flip flops for sure.

✦ Definitely enjoys being in the ocean, especially to try and cool off. You can imagine he’d be really interested in knowing more about what’s in the water around him, and probably points things out to you that he finds interesting.

✦ Be prepared for him to burn really fast, so make sure he gets plenty of sunscreen!! It’s always cute to see him walk up to you and ask for help, in which you gladly oblige. You help get those spots he can’t reach, and he does appreciate just how thorough you are.

✦ You’ll probably end up splashing him, which he’ll return in kind. Be careful what you start, because you’ll end up drenched by the end of it!

✦ A picnic on the beach with him is definitely something that happens while you’re there. Laios is so excited to share a meal with you in such a beautiful setting, and finds himself giving you that goofy grin at just how happy he is. He makes sure to pull all the stops to make this enjoyable for you, even preparing your favorite snacks.

✦ Definitely goes home with a few shells or shark teeth, if he found any. Laios thinks they’re too cool not to pick up and examine, running over to you and showing you what he found in the sand.

“You won’t believe what I found!” Laios calls out to you, jogging over to where you sat on your towel. His hands cradled something, and as he stretched his arms out to show you, a smile grew on your lips.

In his hands was an almost perfect conch shell, something he held with pride and excitement. His smile matching yours, he said your name softly. “Do you think if you put it up to your ear, you’d hear the ocean like those stories?”

You shrugged your shoulders, not able to hold back the giggle at his glee. “Only one way to find out, right? Just make sure there’s nothing still living in it.”

Laios still keeps that shell in a safe place, wanting to remember the day you spent together.

— CHILCHUCK:

✦ This man is definitely showing up in a Hawaiian dad shirt and cargo shorts. The first few buttons are undone, and he has a pair of sandals on that he insists he only saves for days like this.

✦ Chilchuck plans on staying at the spot you claimed with towels and an umbrella, a drink in hand. He’s definitely enjoying the sight of you in a swimsuit and the breeze ruffling your hair, but he’d never admit that.

✦ You try to pull him towards the water, but you only manage to get his feet wet. Chil tells you this is as far as he’ll go, but that disappointed pout on your face makes his heart race a bit. Ok, fine… Maybe he’ll go up to his knees for you…

✦ Probably spends most of his time drinking and relaxing, a hand behind his head and alcohol in the other. Very dad-like of him, you muse, which causes his face to heat up and grumbles to leave him.

✦ Ends up falling asleep, the sound of the waves and the secluded shade from the sun causing his eyes to flutter shut. You can’t help but laugh a little, returning from your time in the water to study his sleeping form. He looks so peaceful like this, and you don’t have the heart to wake him up…

✦ If you do somehow manage to get him fully in the water, be prepared for him to get targeted by the tide. Maybe you even suggest getting him a float, which he gives you that blank stare in reply.

“There, that’s not so bad, is it?” You say as he finds himself in the middle of a tube float, eyes narrowed towards you.

“This makes me feel like a kid.” Chilchuck complains, yet you see him grip onto it tighter as an incoming wave makes an appearance.

You pull it over to you, the inflatable bumping into your stomach as you give him that teasing grin. “Guess you’re stuck with me while we’re out here, huh?”

The half-foot groans, debating on whether or not he’d make it if he tried to swim back to shore right now.

— FALIN:

✦ Wears a light t-shirt and shorts, opting to be comfy! She also has a hat she wears to help keep the sun out of her eyes. If she did plan on swimming, I like to imagine she’d have a swim shirt and a one piece swimsuit!

✦ Like her brother, she was excited to see all the shells and creatures at the beach, bringing you things she found fascinating. You might even find her entranced with a sand dollar and stating how pretty it is.

✦ Walks into the water hand in hand with you, but also really enjoys walking along the sand near the shore. As the sun sets, she intertwines her fingers with yours, leading you along and watching the pinks and blues in the sky reflect on the waves.

✦ Also definitely goes on a picnic with you, the beach making her cheeks even more rosy than usual. You can’t help but tell her how cute she looks in her outfit, her hair loosely blowing in the breeze. Falin would give you a sweet smile, the same one you fell in love with.

✦ Don’t be surprised if she leads you back to the water after you make sure she’s not getting burnt, insisting that she wants to enjoy how cool the waves feel. You’re more than happy to walk out a little deeper with her, noticing how she still keeps your hand in her own.

“It’s so nice out here…” You heard her mutter, a content smile dimpling her cheeks. The sunset left a sweet gradient in her hair, something that made you unable to look away.

“It really is. Too bad it’s getting dark,” you reply, a little disappointed that the day is already over. Falin squeezed your hand, pulling you away from your thoughts.

“Maybe we should stay and watch the stars come out.” Her voice was so gentle, causing you to give her a grin of your own.

“Let’s stay a little longer.”

— MICKBELL:

✦ Like the official art we have of him swimming with Kuro, he’s definitely sporting a pair of swim trunks and flip flops, with his hair in his signature ponytail.

✦ He and Kuro are so excited to swim, and drag you along to the water as soon as you get there. Of course, Mick is either clinging to you or to Kuro when in the waves, not seeking to really swim on his own.

✦ You definitely enjoy watching them swim and play around more than you’d like to admit, especially with Mick hiding his face and complaining when Kuro decides to shake all the water out of his coat.

✦ Mick really likes finding shells he thinks look neat, and showing them off to you and Kuro proudly. Maybe you even find yourself building a sand castle, with him and his buddy watching closely and moving to help you. He’s in charge of decorating it, while you’re in charge of building it! Kuro helps dig up some of the sand to use.

✦ The three of you end up getting a sweet treat, cooling off in the shade and enjoying the time spent together. Knowing Mickbell, he’s going to lay his head in your lap as he rests after so much activity, looking up at you with that cheeky grin he usually has.

“I could get used to this!” Mickbell sighs, nuzzling into your lap as he makes himself comfortable. Kuro is watching the waves, sitting beside you as the sun begins to fade from the horizon.

“I would’ve thought you’d be ready to go home a lot sooner.” You teased him, brushing his messy bangs out of his face. Scoffing, he made sure you saw as he rolled his eyes.

“If I didn’t have you and Kuro, maybe… But this is something we’ll have to do again. Right, Kuro?” The Kobold nodded, causing a warm grin to spread on your face. He was certainly right about that.

II. small things you do for them

part I

characters: kabru, rin, mickbell, namari, shuro

<3

kabru. although he’s all calm and collected, his room is messy as hell. you frequently scold him for it while helping him tidy it up. the landlord once heard you from upstairs and started to join in on the lecturing. kabru can only smile sheepishly and kiss the scowl on your face as you pick up the random clothes on his bedroom floor while he sweeps.

rin. when she’s off practicing spells in her own time, you peel and cut slices of fruit for her to eat when she takes a break from training. on afternoons you can find her in the fields, wand in hand, murmuring small incantations. you sit under the shade of a nearby tree with apple slices, berries, and her favorite dried fruit.

mickbell. he takes naps in the most random places, while he usually uses kuro as a pillow, you’re also one of his victims. sometimes he just craves to be soothed, and the way you pat and rub his back without making him feel stupid scratches an itch in him. don’t tell the others though, he’s defensive about showing his vulnerable side.

namari. whenever she comes back from a rough crawl through the dungeon, she usually goes to the tavern to relax and drink. but lately she’s been lessening her visits since you keep her at home to make her spare ribs. she sighs in content, happy and satisfied that she got to enjoy her favorite food made by her favorite person.

shuro. he’s easily stressed, sometimes even ignoring his own health and needs. you remind him to eat his meals and encourage him by pinching his ears and dragging him to the table. he’s a stubborn man, what do you expect? you basically have to force him to listen to his body’s needs and throw him into the nearest pool of water just to make him bathe. he thinks you’re scarier than maizuru because of this.

Headcanons Small and cute

🗝 Chilchuck Tims x tall-man male!Reader 🍷

From the first day you started working together, Chilchuck was confident that you could protect yourself and everyone else. You were taller than the others, even taller than Laios and bigger. You looked like a man who had spent his whole life in harsh conditions and engaged in physical labor. But despite this, your character in dealing with them was surprisingly friendly. You took care of your comrades, and at some point Chilchuck noticed that you were always looking out for him during the fight. You made sure that he was not injured, and if the monster tried to get to half-foot, you were eager to fight, not paying attention to your own wounds. He didn't understand the reason for this and it started to annoy him. Of course, he himself said that you couldn't expect any help from him in battle, but you treated him as if he couldn't defend himself at all. That's why he decided to ask you directly what the problem was

When he asked you a question, he saw something unexpected. You're embarrassed. A blush appeared on your cheeks and you looked away. Such a reaction caused Chilchuck to openly misunderstand, but he was waiting for your explanation. What you said made him even more confused. You told him he was cute and small. You wanted to protect him. His first reaction was anger. It was as if you showed him with one phrase that you really didn't see him as someone who could stand up for himself. For this, he hit you several times in the leg without a drop of regret, but you didn't even try to defend yourself. When he was indignant, you corrected him with a serious expression on your face, saying that you respect his knowledge and know perfectly well that he is able to survive in the dungeon without you, because he had much more experience. You understood all this perfectly. Your words surprised him and Chilchuck asked what you meant then. The blush on your cheeks became brighter and you repeated that you thought he was small and cute, and this made you want to protect him

You treated him with care and several times you even offered to carry him in your arms. The more you showed your concern, the more he didn't understand what was going on in your head. Sometimes he saw you talking to Marcille, and each time you blushed, as if she were saying something that embarrassed you greatly. At some point, he realized that maybe you think she's small and cute too. Maybe you liked her and that's why you were so embarrassed when talking to her. This thought should have irritated him, because he was against relationships between members of the same group, but instead he felt offended. He couldn't believe that he had fallen in love with you so recklessly, but he wasn't going to let himself let those feelings run wild. Every time you showed your concern for him, he sent you to the elf, which caused a misunderstanding to appear on your face. You asked why he was chasing you away, to which Chilchuck replied that Marcille was much nicer than him. He didn't expect at all that you would start vehemently claiming that this was not the case and that he was the sweetest person you had ever met

The more time you spent together, the more he realized that you were in love with him. But you didn't talk about it. Your feelings were obvious, but you didn't talk about how you felt. You were silent, remembering perfectly well that he was against such a relationship between members of the same group. It wasn't until your journey was over that you told him how you felt. Despite your outward severity, you blushed and worried, as if this was the first time you confessed your feelings to someone. But now he had no reason to refuse you. Of course, he still had to restore at least some kind of relationship with his ex-wife, but you were ready to be by his side and support him, just as you supported him before

🗡 Kabru x tall-man male!Reader 👀

Kabru is used to coping with many things. He was the leader of the group and he needed to lead his comrades. Including you. You were a warrior, the one who protected others from monsters. You were someone who had seen a lot of hardships in your life. You're used to surviving in difficult conditions, and through your own observations, you've learned how to deal with monsters. He was more than happy that you were part of his band. Sometimes he even secretly took advantage of the fact that you were taller and bigger than the others. The sight of you was enough for those who wanted to harm you or deceive you to change their minds and not want to get involved with you. But there was something Kabru couldn't figure out no matter how hard he tried. He couldn't understand why, out of the whole group, you treated him with great care

You took care of all your comrades, but it was Kabru who received the most care from you. You made sure that he didn't get hurt and that he ate well. At first, he thought you just wanted to get special treatment from him as the leader of your group, but he saw that you cared about others as well. You never asked him for anything, just smiling at him with a blush on your cheeks and being glad that he accepted your care. Kabru suspected more and more that you really didn't have any ulterior motives, but that didn't explain why you took special care of him. Unable to stand this misunderstanding, he asked you directly about what was going on. You looked at him blankly, as if you really didn't understand what he was talking about. It was only when Kabru explained exactly what he meant that he saw a blush appear on your cheeks and you told him that he was small and sweet, and that you wanted to protect and protect him

Your words stumped him for a few moments. He understood that he was shorter than you and his physique was different from yours, but he could stand up for himself and you knew it perfectly well. You fought shoulder to shoulder with a variety of monsters, and what you knew about what he was capable of was obvious. But despite that, you still thought he was small and cute. Kabru clarified this with you, expecting that he was mistaken about this, but you just nodded, blushing harder. It was only after that that he realized what exactly was the reason for your attitude towards him. You were in love. You were in love with him, and that's why you were so eager to protect him and take care of him. The more Kabru thought about it, the more he realized how obvious it was, but he denied even the very idea of such an option. Now he saw how you tried to show him your feelings, using caring for him

Now, for Kabru, many of your actions have begun to look different. You took care of him and put his well-being above your own. Although it was a bit unexpected for him, he understood that he would have been mistaken if he hadn't believed in the sincerity of your feelings. You didn't pursue any benefits. You were just being as sincere with him as you could. But Kabru would be lying if he said that his heart did not stop beating when you once again helped him and gave him various little things. It could be simple flowers that you found or fruits that you thought he might like. He never thought that there would be someone in his life who would treat him with such tenderness, but once again you surprised him

🗝 Mickbell Tomas x tall-man male!Reader 🪙

Mickbell was not a fighter. He was more than happy that others were fighting for him. Kuro was usually his protector, but when you became part of their group, you started protecting and helping him quite often. Mickbell wasn't against it, giving you orders with a pleased expression on his face. You didn't seem to take it that way and did what he said with a smile on your face. You even carried him in your arms without any problems. You were much taller than him, stronger, and bigger. Your hands were covered in calluses and your skin had scars from what happened in your life. But at the same time, you continued to smile and be friendly. However, everyone saw that you treated Mickbell with more care and tenderness than anyone else. It surprised them, but he didn't notice it at first until Rin mentioned it. It was only after that that he began to notice that you really treated him with special awe

He was watching you, trying to figure out what was going on in your head, but you didn't have any ulterior motives, and it was obvious. Mickbell was trying to come up with a reason for this more and more, until Kabru asked you about it directly. You just smiled at him and said that Mickbell was small and sweet, and you wanted to protect him and take care of him. Even when the surprised Rin asked you if you were accidentally in love with him, you just blushed and nodded, confirming their guess. It wasn't what he expected at all, but he'd be lying if he said he wasn't flattered that you were in love with him. But your confession was a cause of concern for him. Every conversation you had made him feel embarrassed and you were worried if he was sick. It was hard for him to admit that he had mutual feelings for you

You continued to protect him no matter what, but every time you got hurt because you were protecting him, he got mad at you, claiming that you should have taken more care of yourself instead of him. You just smiled and told him that you were okay and that a small scratch wouldn't kill you. Your friends watched this and could only sigh, realizing what exactly lay behind your relationship. You both hid your feelings from each other, but at the same time you took care of each other. Mickbell felt the meaningful glances of his friends, but he only grumbled, refusing to admit it to you, and if you yourself guessed about his feelings, you were in no hurry to tell him about yours

In the dungeon, none of you were in a hurry to confess your feelings, but Mickbell knew that you were planning to confess your feelings anyway. He heard you talking to Rin, asking for her advice. You wanted to tell him how you felt when you left the dungeon and when you were safe, and now he was waiting for that. He couldn't wait to see what you would come up with, but his patience was limited and more and more often he thought about telling his feelings to you himself

👁 Mithrun x tall-man male!Reader 🍜

When you lived on the island, you saw the elves. They were mostly adventurers like you who wanted to go down to the dungeon. You've even worked with some of them, acting as a protector and a warrior. You were a tall man, but even among other members of your race, you were taller and stronger than the rest, which made you really good at your job. You've seen a lot in your short life, but there were enough scars on your skin that you could safely say that you faced difficulties. But when you first saw Mithrun, you froze. It's the first time you've met someone who made your heart stop and then start beating faster. He seemed small, fragile, and sweet to you. You wanted to protect him, and when your friend Kabru asked you to help escort the elves to the dungeon, you immediately agreed. You got a chance to get to know the elf who captured your thoughts better, and even the fact that you found out that Mithrun was captain of the Canaries didn't bother you or change your opinion of him

You saw perfectly well that he could take care of himself. You saw how he used magic without any problems and dealt with enemies, both monsters and humans. But he didn't care about eating and got lost easily, so you volunteered to keep an eye on him. The elves were extremely suspicious of your suggestion. They were watching you closely, but Mithrun himself didn't care, and pretty quickly you took care of him. You approached your new duties with full responsibility, but you saw that something was wrong. You couldn't figure out what it was, but you saw that there was a problem. It wasn't until you left the dungeon that you found out that Mithrun had suffered because of a demon in the past

You and Kabru both took care of Mithrun after the dungeon was gone. Kabru knew that he could rely on you, but every day he noticed your particularly gentle attitude towards the elf and it began to bother him. That's why he decided to ask you about it. Your answer surprised him, but you hastened to assure him that you were in no way going to put pressure on the elf or take advantage of the fact that he did not yet have his own desires. Looking at how sincerely you were worried about this, Kabru understood that your words were sincere and you might not have expected from him what you would like to hear, but you were more than satisfied with it. You just wanted him to be happy, even if you couldn't see it for yourself

Mithrun has seen you often. You came to him, always worried about his health, about whether you ate or not, you invited him for walks, hoping that he would see something that would arouse his interest, you were sincerely glad when he slowly began to feel desires again. You were one of the most sincere people in his life, and you were the reason why he began to experience a feeling that he thought he had forgotten existed

[dunmeshi-darlings]

for chilchuck, laios, mickbell and namari, how about reader giving them surprise kisses on the cheek or top of their heads when they pass them by or if they are distracted somehow?

that sounds positively delightful id love to do some of these.

Every time you pass by chilchuck will jump in surprise as he whirls around and bats away at you with the map or some piece of clothe to try and shoe you away.

He gets so grumpy when you kiss him on top of the head, it makes him feel short. and he will pout for the next half hour as you chuckle.

Secretly he likes it but will never admit it.

Laios is excited for them, each time you kiss his cheek he ends up blushing and smiling. He will chuckle and give you a small hug if he can or even thank you for the kiss.

Dont be surprised though if when you surprise him with a kiss he quickly grabs you and pulls you into a great big hug lifting you off the ground. Mans a hugger after all.

He will also do the same to you, kissing your cheek or top of head whenever your distracted. He loves showing affection to you after all.

Much like chilchuck he will throw a fit whenever you do this saying how you should show him some respect! Kuro nodding in agreement.

However when you dont do it he looks over confused and a little upset, he secretly loves them but cant let anyone know this. So when you stop doing it for awhile he gets upset about it and looks at you with a face of "where are my kisses?"

From then on you know whenever he throws a fit at your kisses that he doesnt mean it and you sometimes even see him give you a quick little wink.

Each time you kiss her head or cheek she gets all flustered, the way he face turns so red it almost turns the same shade as her hair.

She will start stuttering and get so flustered she can barely speak, her voice even cracking as she asks whats the big idea.

Of course if anyone pokes fun of how she reacts to your kisses she gets mad and tells them to shut up, putting an arm around you grumbling how its not her fault your so cute

Mickbell x reader headcanon

I just liked the idea of Mickbell trying to flirt using Kuro, like those scenes in TV shows where the character is walking his pet and women approach him to talk about the dog, lol

Although it might only work with a reader fan of the Kobolds

I need more Mickbell fans lol i lovehim he's so silly

[failvessel]

The reader using the cold as an excuse to cuddle? (I'll lwave the choice of characters up to you)

//I hear the nights in the dungeon are always a bit chilly. It must be quite miserable if you don't run a bit warm//

Characters: Kiki, Laios, and Mickbell

A/N: It's pining time, cuz I'm a sucker for that kind of thing. Not really set in between any specific time.

════════════════════════════════════════════

On the rare occasion that Kiki might spend a night in a dungeon, and you bring up a request to share a bedroll with her, stating that you don't want to pass the night freezing your ass off.

Kiki has a feeling there's more than you're letting on but sees no reason to say no, it is quite cold in the dungeon, and it would be nice to be at least relatively comfortable.

Nothing happens, you both sleep on your own side, content to feel the other's warmth only a hair's breadth away. And in the morning, before you wake—she takes a moment to take in your features, soften by sleep, committing them to her memory.

Laios fully believes you when you tell him you're freezing and that you need someone to help you stave off the chill at night—taking your words at face value. Makes sure you're comfortable, even to the point of tucking you in. (To keep the heat in, you know?)

Might end huddling up around you somewhere during the night in search of another heat source. He apologizes profusely in the morning at the others' behest.

For Mickbell if it was anyone else asking him to share his bedroll for the night; he would've told them to shove off and fend for themselves. He's not some bed warmer to be used whenever it's convenient! Unless it's a pretty lady asking.

But luckily for you he'll make an exception! And if he clings to you all night, don't read too deeply into it. He's just really cold too, okay!

════════════════════════════════════════════

[andimlonely]

I am thinking about siscon Mickbell..

TW: incest ofc, possessiveness, size difference, unhealthy attachments/codependency, a tiny bit yandere?

////spoilers for Mickbell's backstory, fem reader

considering how attached he is to Kuro, who is basically his only family, I can only imagine how protective and clingy Mickbell would be if he had a pretty girl for a companion. So instead of finding Kuro alone, you're already by his side when Kuro joins your small- now a little less small- family.

Although he canonically has a sister, I kind of like the idea of found family tall-man! reader who is a little younger than Mick and also was left to fend for herself as a child. He probably meets you in a similarly dire situation to how he found Kuro, and though he got by on the principle of 'every man for himself' up until then, he's swayed by your endless stream of tears, the way you tug desperately at his shirt and plead him to help you, the way your position mirrored his own.

Since you're not a half-foot, you end up far outgrowing Mickbell, but he still takes to his role as your big brother, never letting you out of his or Kuro's sight, eating less when necessary to make sure you have plenty of food, snatching pretty things he thinks you'll like, fussing over you, discouraging your naturally trusting nature and reminding you the only one you can really count on is him (and Kuro, but him first). On the battlefield, Mick lacks the ability to properly protect you, but he makes sure to always at least hide where he can always see you, and orders Kuro to prioritize your safety. You, in turn, remain vigilant over the other two, and since you're proficient with a bow, you take it upon yourself to compensate for your brother's lack of self defense.

I like to think that growing up with you by his side has made him a little more considerate and courageous, but he's largely still stubborn and petulant, and in some ways less mature than you despite the age difference. That said, he's still more street smart than you are, and insists you stay close at all times. You trust Mickbell more than anyone, so you always do as you're told - mostly.

You know that you can't just trust anyone, but you also don't want to believe that everyone is out to get you either. You know that your brother is only looking out for you, but you think he's being overdramatic by insisting you don't get close to anyone else, and you want to show him that it's okay to rely on others too. And while his reluctance to trust anyone else is a major reason he dissuades you being friendly with others, it's not the only one. In reality, he's just as anxious about the possibility of you taking a liking to someone else and leaving him to join them instead.

Though he doesn't admit it to you, Mickbell is hyperaware of how ill-equipped he is to protect you, how you would be better off with someone of a different race. He's especially paranoid that you'd prefer a tall-man for a companion, and is especially insecure around any competent and good looking tall-man your party encounters. It doesn't help that other people make snide comments about the two of you, about how for a "big" brother, Mickbell is far less mature and dependable than you are (and yes, smaller than you). You always wave off their comments, reminding everyone that he saved you, and Kuro, and that even if you aren't actually related, he's a great brother, and an important member of the team. Your defenses always have Mickbell grinning smugly or sticking his tongue out at his detractors. Likewise, if anyone ever has a problem with you or even suggests anything negative about you, he'll defend you really fervently - even if the criticism was valid and put gently.

When you first joined Kabru's party, it was a bit of an adjustment for both of you. You weren't used to being around anyone but Mick and Kuro regularly, so you were a little nervous about making a good impression. Thankfully, everyone gets along well and before long, you could even say you're friends with everyone, growing particularly close to Daya and Holm. You're relieved that Mickbell also transitions into the party pretty easily. Still, the decrease in time with only each other is difficult at first, and means you have to find any opportunity to spend time together. Any time you aren't in battle, you're always at each other's side, your hand in his when you walk. Whenever you're sitting around the campfire, one of you is usually wrapped around the other - Mickbell's favorite is when he sits on something that elevates him enough so that when you're sitting on the floor in front of him, he can drape his arms around your shoulders while your party converses.

It's something your party has taken note of. Your closeness was of course expected, but sometimes it surpasses what most people would expect from siblings. Technically, they reason, it's not really that strange since you aren't actually related, but it still has your party members exchanging fleeting glances or avoiding eye contact at times.

Eventually Mickbell realizes it would be easier if he just didn't refer to you as his sister. Maybe if he called you his childhood friend or just a companion, no one would think twice when they saw you sharing a bed roll. But to call you anything less than his family would just feel.. insufficient. More than that, it wouldn't change the way you feel about each other when you're alone. You're everything to him, it's only ever been you and him. You're each other's first companions, first protectors, first kiss. And while you two are mindful to not be too affectionate around the others, when it's just you two, he reminds you just how much he adores you. Just how much it doesn't matter if you're taller or bigger than him, how much you've grown - he's still your big brother and he still knows how to take care of you best. And of course, he needs to make sure he's still your favorite.

[chilschuck]

anon called him mickie and now i wonder how mickbell would react if his crush started calling him by his first name (since that is only for close friends in half-foot culture) and by a nickname basically. so reader starts calling him mick but sometimes slip in a mickie. and perhaps also the same sort of request for chilchuck? i love them both so much

`✦ ˑ ִֶ 𓂃⊹ anon this is SO SO CUTE of an idea and i had so much fun writing it!!! i hope it turned out okay and that you enjoy!! <333

— MICKBELL & CHILCHUCK: hcs for calling them by their first name.

✦ thinking about this so hard rn…. god bless you anon. this was such a precious idea!!!! hope they turned out okay!! <333

— MICKBELL:

✦ The first time you called Mickbell by his first name, he just about froze on the spot. It was already obvious to anyone that he had developed an attachment to you, and now you were only making it worse.

✦ Since it’s something only close friends and companions do, when you begin calling him Mick, he gets really excited. So you think of him that way? Do you even know the implications of calling him that?? Mickbell can’t help but get a bit excited whenever you call him such.

✦ I think calling him Mickie would be the icing on the cake. This man would literally let out a sound of bewilderment when you first say it, but as soon as you stop, thinking he was objecting to it, he gets upset.

✦ This man is going to crush even harder now, be prepared. You’re giving him hope and also causing him to crave your affections even more. But of course he’s going to act like it’s silly to call him that. He’s not a kid, don’t make him feel like one! (Even if he enjoys it.)

✦ Pair it with touches of softness or endearment, and he’s got those rosy cheeks you love. Not only are you indirectly teasing him now, but he’s going to pitch a fit about it if you stop. Be prepared to shower him in praise and call him Mickie when he does something you should be proud of!

✦ If other members of the party begin to comment on it, he’s going to complain more. Especially if they try to mess with him. So what if you called him something cute like that?? Only you were allowed to do it, though. No one else!

“Hah? Where did that name come from?” Mickbell asked you when you first called him Mickie, raising a brow at your new nickname.

“Thought it was cute, and it suits you. Is that okay? If you don’t like it, I can stop.” You were as kind as ever, making him bite his tongue for a moment before grumbling out.

“‘S fine… I guess it is kinda cute…” The elation on your face at his answer made him a bit too happy.

— CHILCHUCK:

✦ Calling Chilchuck by his first name causes him to stop for a moment, this being the first time you’ve done so. He takes in the implications of that, before shaking it off and continuing what he was doing.

✦ But if you continue to do so, especially with that sweet tone and gentle demeanor, he’s going to choke on his words a bit. It’s been a while since he’s heard someone say his name like that, and coming from you, well… Let’s just say it makes his chest get really warm. (And his face.)

✦ Chil is crushing on you and is going to act the complete opposite, and in doing so pushing you away in the process. Stay by his side through it and continuously call him by his actual name, tenderly so, and he might end up melting a little.

✦ It’s obvious he has a soft spot for you, and now it’s getting even worse with the way you speak his name with that voice of yours. Why were you doing this to him?? Maybe even slip in a soft touch or two and he’s going to leave to busy himself with something before he thinks too hard about it. (That definitely sticks in his head for a while.)

✦ You begin to think he doesn’t like it, but soon he ends up softening whenever you do so. It’s like it pulls him out of his own head a bit… Now he can’t think of you calling him anything other than that.

✦ Definitely enjoys it but won’t admit it when it first begins. Now he enjoys it more than he’ll ever let on. Behind that cynical wall of his is a longing for softness like that, so you’re doing more to him than you think!

“Chil?” You spoke softly as he worked on unlocking something, tools in hand. He just about dropped it for a moment, but managed to stay focused enough to keep control.

“Hmm?” Was all he managed to reply, trying to keep his attention on the task at hand.

“You look so cool like this. Just wanted to tell you.” He could hear the awe in your voice through your words, making his head feel a little fuzzy.

Now he really was going to drop everything in his hands.
