olric holding himself up with one forearm, his other hand on your thigh, rolling his hips into you. thick cock spreading your folds and forcing itself in, making room where there seems to be none, each knock of his swollen tip against your walls punching the air out of your lungs. he's careful, like he's afraid to break you—hell, he probably could break you—eyes constantly scanning your expression to make sure you can take it. but, he keeps looking down, too. watching the way your pussy spreads so wide to take him, the obscene slick sounds every time he thrusts, the way you're dripping around him and onto the sheets. he feels guilty for even thinking about wanting more, for wondering if he could spread you wider or push deeper or go faster. so he swallows around the lump in his throat and focuses on your parted lips and the pretty gasps that slip out from them, the way your jaw goes slack and you moan out his name.

⎯ Balor
If a charming young man like BALOR can’t dance, then he’s afraid he isn’t worth his salt. As a merchant, he needs to be relatively skilled in most, if not all fields. And dancing is one of them. Though he seldom uses anything but his pristine bargaining skills and his smooth talking, it’s good to know. At least, that’s what he tells himself. When you take over the old farm, however, he decides he needs to impress you in other ways aside from the oddities he brings back.
So, when he offers you his hand one night at the inn, who are you to say no? He’s treated you so kindly since you moved in (though, everyone has), and he’s been quite a help to you. Aside from that, you couldn’t help but feel like he was flirting with you as well. Not that you minded at all, he was quite handsome, and admittedly you fell for his charms.
When you take his hand, you can hear the kids gasp and whisper. Balor is smooth and fluid with his movements, spinning you around the little space you two had in the inn. His movement is something like a Viennese waltz, keeping you close as you two spin, making sure you don’t get too dizzy. You can’t help but feel flustered as it feels like everyone’s eyes are on you. Granted, it’s not every night they get to see Balor of all people dance.
⎯ Eiland
Being born into nobility, EILAND can dance quite well. That, paired with lessons from Elsie in the current day, help him become one of the best dancers in Mistria. The thing is, he only took an interest in dancing once more when you had taken over the old farm. He’s consistent and damn near princely, and finally, he decided to invite you to the manor to “spectate” on some of these lessons via letter. Don’t ask why his handwriting looks suspiciously like Elsie’s.
Still, you decide it’d be quite fun. Perhaps you could learn something yourself, no? It isn’t often you get invited to the Manor, especially to see such a grand display. You hope, at the very least. However, when you enter the Manor, Eiland seems very surprised to see you, only for a second. He completely masks his surprise with that friendly tone once more, welcoming you in almost hurriedly.
You take a seat and Elsie begins the session as Eiland’s partner, only for about three seconds, before she beckons you to take her place. You don’t even get to shake your head before she’s grabbed you by your hand and led you to the center of the hall. Neither of you get to protest before she’s urging you two to begin. Without a second thought, Eiland begins. To say you feel like royalty is an understatement, he spins you two around and dances with such grace that you feel as if you are in a ballroom, you can practically see yourself with him at some sort of gala. However, you can’t help but catch the deep blush dusting his cheeks. You avert your gaze for a second, simply so you don’t point it out. You yourself are already flustered enough, you’d rather not fan the flames of Eiland’s own embarrassment.
⎯ Hayden
While HAYDEN can dance, he’s not much for showing off his moves. While he’s not ashamed, his country style feels a bit out of place among people like Eiland and Ryis. That being said, not many people have seen Hayden dance. Most of the time, it’s in the morning when he’s cooking his breakfast, hyping himself up for the day. It’s nothing much, really, tapping his feet and whistling some tune to himself.
When you catch him early one morning, muttering his own song to himself, he doesn’t shy away. Why would he? He’s having fun, so why not join him? Before you can even question yourself, you’re taking his hand and he’s spinning you around to a steady beat only he understands. It involves a lot of swaying, some spinning, and little flares that make Hayden feel fancy. He likes to keep you close to his chest, which is enough to make you blush.
Regardless, it’s fun. It’s way too early in the morning for your mind to catch up with the fact, but your body moves with Hayden’s so easily. While you get a lot of time to yourself in between tending to your farm and the rest of the town’s requests, you rarely get moments as… quaint as this. It surely isn’t something you thought you’d start your day with, but it is welcomed nonetheless. There’s a sort of gentleness within his movements, the way he pulls you closer ever so subtly, that makes you swoon internally.
⎯ March
MARCH being… March, he knows how to dance. On his own. He takes it as an opportunity to be the best at yet another thing. If he wasn’t good at it, then who would he be? April? He can’t have that. He has to be the absolute best at it. Even if Eiland and Adeline grew up with proper dance lessons, even if Balor knows all the fancy stuff. March has gotta be the best. In town. So he says.
Problem is, he’s bad at dancing with a partner. He’s clumsy and miscalculated and tends to trip over your feet when he does so. He pouts and huffs and blushes, as if he’s impatient. He’s embarrassed, really. But he’s not going to tell you that. He talked himself up so much, practically told you he could dance like a king, and here he is fumbling like it’s the middle school dance. Don’t say a word, and he’ll spare you.
As awkward as he is as a dancing partner, he’s still kind of earnest about it. He’s never danced with someone else before, but he tries quite a lot to be all fancy and elegant like Eiland and Balor might be. While it started off as an attempt to impress you, it quickly turned into a mess of laughter. March let a soft chuckle slip, before quickly trying to cover it up with his tough guy facade, pouting and frowning as he acts like he’s more interested in the steps than you. Yet he continues to steal glances, which ultimately end up in him stumbling once more.
⎯ Olric
No. This man cannot dance. OLRIC cannot dance, what-so-ever. That doesn’t stop him from trying, of course. He has no need to be embarrassed if he’s having fun. Doesn’t matter if he comes off as a little goofy when Hemlock and Josephine end up in a duet on nights at the inn, he’s gonna dance and he’s gonna have fun. It’s infectious, really.
You can’t help but join. Either it’s the little bit of alcohol you had working its way to kill off your embarrassment, or simply the big ol’ smile Olric wears as he dances. Or perhaps it’s the fact that his insistent ‘c’mon, join me!’s have gotten to you. You don’t know! You don’t care! Maybe you two look like two fools on the floor, but you’re enjoying it as you try to mimic his moves. He really is horrible at dancing, even you have a hard time trying to move like him. So stiff and silly… it’s impossible to replicate.
Eventually, he pulls you into him by complete surprise. No warning, no nothing, now you're trapped between his strong arms and his chest as he sways to the beat. It’s oddly romantic, and it seems both Hemlock and Jo have shifted their tones to follow you and Olric’s dance. It feels like all eyes are on you by that time, as Olric hums slightly off-key and sways gently. You feel your cheeks heat up, either from embarrassment (which you thought you had thrown away at the start of the night), or from the fact that you’re just so very close to Olric.
⎯ Ryis
RYIS isn’t much of a dancer. At least, socially. He’s more than happy to sit and watch on rowdy nights at the Inn, despite his Uncle trying to get him to join in. He’s more of a romantic, really. Fancy balls and galas don’t stick with him as much as cozy nights do. So dancing in general isn’t something he had tried much. Even in the capital. Still, he knows how to, just not on the scale others might.
He gives it more thought when he catches you dancing along to a little bout Elsie started one night. He can’t deny that he’s a little enraptured, almost pulled to join you. But then again, he decides he can wait just a little and surprise you with something a little more intimate later on. Perhaps he’d write up a nice little invitation for you to join him by the lake, underneath the apple tree.
That letter comes in the next morning, and you are all too quick to meet him up. It’s a little embarrassing to admit that you ended up by the lake a little less than an hour earlier than when he had asked you to join him. However, when he finally joins you, a little flustered that he was ‘late’ to this date, he is quick to pull you into a somewhat grand spin. With a big smile on his face and a soft blush, he begins. It’s small, but lovely, swaying underneath the shade of the apple tree as he practically drowns you in all sorts of compliments and sweet nothings that he had kept to himself for this particular moment.
Could we also get some Hayden and Olric bf ratings/headcanons? We love a himbo👀👀
Hayden please save us Hayden 🙏
Hayden:
I talked about this briefly on my other blog but I do think that helping each other out on your farms would take a largeee spot out of y'all's time everyday
Which is exactly why I think his most evident love language is acts of service
If you're a workaholic you might not notice but he does try to take up as much work as he can just to make your life easier
I'm pretty sure I said Ryis is touchy, right?
Ryis cannot compare to him, I'm not even joking
If he doesn't have a hand on you and he's not doing anything that would prevent him from doing so, something is up
Unlike Ryis, I can see a large majority of his touches being more platonic (ex: putting his hand on your shoulder)
Anyway in return of all of these good things, you must deal with his jokes and attempts at clichés
Sometimes particularly terrible ones still get you to cringe and it makes him laugh
I feel like he prefers being the one to cook in the relationship
While he wouldn't mind you helping, he is a bit clumsy (I mean I think that just comes with someone being that big) so the situation is an entire hit or miss. As long as you don't move too fast then you should be fine!
Lowkey when he talks to other people about you, it seems like y'all are married already instead of dating
Anyway, he's amazing, 10/10 (ty for giving me food Hayden 🙏)
Olric:
Whatever I've said about March ever, he's the opposite
Like what else do I say guys...
General bf hcs are hard with him because I can't see him acting too differently from when you're friends with him
Also you are the only reason he allows himself to go back into the mines... Hopefully nothing goes wrong this time
I know you said that these two are himbos but I think Olric is just unaware sometimes
A tad bit forgetful and that can be annoying...a little too optimistic at times...
I mean that's okay right? But March...
You have to go through a lot, you're stronger than me 😔
I feel like his main love language is quality time
This guy is literally everywhere, so I feel like the little time you get together is cherished
I can see this cause you to pick up seemingly random activities too
But this also means he's very adaptable
I can see him being so willing to help with your farm because of it
Anyway he's a solid 7/10 bf. Love him but idk if I could actually deal with him fr
Here’s the original platonic version
This one just has some slight editing that changes the nature of your relationship
Word Count: 900
Content & Warnings: Some peril (in the mines), eating food mentioned, narrative format instead of individual headcanons, not really mentioned in-text but Olric would be demiromantic in my romantic works of him
Summary: You go on a planned all-day trip/date to the mines with your boyfriend Olric for Valentine’s Day
You two planned this out all week with each other, all the way down to the sandwiches you prepared on your farm so you could eat during your ordeal
It was a date. Your way of spending Valentine’s Day with each other. You both loved rocks and adventuring so much that it was a no brainer. Plus, Olric was super excited as this would be the first time you went exploring in the mines together
Making your way through town, you met up with your boyfriend and made a quick trip to Valen’s to purchase some tonics
While walking through the square, various tourists and couples swarmed the area and the vendors. You were happy they got to spend a fun relaxing time for the holiday
By the time you got to the mines, you were so excited and couldn’t wait
You began on the upper mines floor to see what materials you could find, such as copper, rubies, and moss
When you first found the moss, you planted it on top of Olric’s head for laughs and giggles. It wasn’t until he tried putting it in your hair that you actually ran away
When he caught you, he succeeded, and while you attempted to get it out he pulled you in for a silly kiss
After gathering enough ores that Olric needed for the forge, you used the elevator shaft to go deeper and enter the Tide Caverns
Once you arrived, you revealed something you had kept hidden from Olric. Hard-boiled eggs.
But not just any boiled eggs. These ones made you swift and run faster
Olric immediately tried to eat three in one go (hard-boiled eggs were your boyfriend’s favorite) but you managed to stop him and explain that the effects didn’t stack
disappointed (but quickly cheering up again) Olric started making his way through the floor at a speedy pace; enjoying the extra boost it gave him when running around monsters and swinging his pickaxe at some rocks
When he splashed through a big pond of water, you got worried when he dived down deeper
But when he emerged, he was carrying a humongous fish in his hands. He simply smiled and said he just wanted to see what it looked like, and then gently let it go. “Goodbye little fella!”
Grateful to not need to perform CPR on him, you once again collected all the iron ore Olric needed, and changed floors to enter the Deep Earth
Like the name suggested, it was deep underground. Not only that, but the pits seemed extend forever downwards
Olric, like the man that he was, ran right into the danger; getting rid of monsters along the way and mining any interesting rock in sight
you could hardly keep up with him. His stamina was so much greater than yours. So, you eventually just took to sitting down and briefly eating the lunch you brought with you
Olric declined when you offered him his sandwich, saying “the spirit of adventure gives me all the energy I need!”
you just chuckled and shook your head while Olric finished up clearing the area of all possible materials. He was so endearing when he acted like that and he didn’t even know it. That was one of the many things you loved about him
Upon entering the next floor, you felt a little nauseous. The pitfalls somehow seemed even deeper and darker, with less space in between
You warned Olric to be careful, but he was already bounding off again; spotting an interesting stone
He practically zoomed around the cave while you paced yourself behind. Then, he spotted something
”Look!” He exclaimed, pointing over a pit towards a little ledge against the wall. A silver lustrous shine emitted from the area
”Is that?…” you squinted your eyes.
”It is!” He shouted with excitement, already sprinting towards the edge. “Perfect silver ore!”
”Olric wait-“ you tried to warn him, but it was too late. He tripped
jumping forward onto your stomach, you barely managed to grab his wrist as he tumbled over the side of the cave floor
It was already too much to hold, but calling upon the magic that Calderus had granted you to restore your strength, you hauled Olric over the ledge and back onto the hard stone floor
After chastising him and making sure he was alright (after laying there and panting for a minute) the two of you carefully jumped over the ledge and collected the ore
”March is going to be so happy to use this.” Olric said on your way back into town; smiling and admiring the shiny piece of metal in the warm light of the lowering sun
It made you smile too. No matter what, he was always looking out for him. It seemed like Olric couldn’t go a single day without being there for his younger brother in some way
You’d think something like that would make you jealous, but that was far from the truth. It only made you love him even more
You went to the inn for drinks and a late meal (and to rest your exhausted limbs). There were a many a lovey-dovey couple, but you and Olric were happy to see so many people celebrate their romance and go on dates in their own way on this wonderful day
everybody deserved to spend it with someone special to them
And you and Olric? Well, you were best friends. You were also more than that. You loved each other so much, and you’re so happy you had the chance to fall in love after getting to know each other for a long time
I also made a (slightly) romantic version for those who are interested

And you and Olric? Well, you were best friends. You were closer to each other in a way that you thought equalled -or even rivaled- the couples visiting Mistria
