Manhwa : The Monster Duchess and Contract Princess Authors : Rialan, Minjack
ylan definitely gets away with a lot of things just bc of his playful and charming af nature but the fact that rias lets him take photos of him freely just kills me ok
ylan: (snaps his polaroid) rias: ah, no i moved just now. you could have told me. ylan: nah, i got it. rias: it’ll be blurry ylan: no it wont! it’ll be perfect rias: how do you know? ylan: (kisses the film) rias: you nerd.... ylan: hehe
i think the reason ylan is so much more openly affectionate in modern au (as opposed to canon, where he is v cautious about his own or rias’ rep if hes inquisitor) is bc he thinks a lot about and appreciates all the little things that rias does for him? actually they’re not even little things bc rias really takes care of him... he’s so grateful that rias is so understanding of ylan’s schedule and is so patient when ylan gets called on duty at the hospital at 3 am and when ylan answers his phone in the middle of a date. like its way more than ylan ever asked for and expected and he is more grateful than he can express in words.
so he shows it by making it up to him with good food and affection and tries to give rias as much as he’s given him. like it just means so much to ylan when he steps out of the hospital and rias is there waiting to pick him up and waits an hour after ylan was supposed to leave bc he got held up and doesnt mind a bit (ugh im crying) but when rias asks what’s wrong when ylan sometimes holds onto him for a really long time during a hug ylan just chuckles a little and says it’s nothing
and when rias allows ylan to take photos of him knowing that he hardly lets anyone else do it? he puts a few onto his photo/memories wall but the rest are pressed into the pages of a journal filled with travel tickets and concert stubs and other receipts to memories he wants to keep breathing. he treasures the photos so much.
a little unrelated kinda but ylan keeps one half of a purikura of the two of them inside his phone case and it’s literally his favorite
im reeling i hate these dumb boys and writing these posts w this icon staring at me never helps uGH!!!!
ylan appreciates that he can rely on rias always like? ylan has always been super popular with everyone he meets but he’s not great at keeping up esp since hes so busy (his followers vs following ratio on instagram is probs super disproportionate lol) but hes grateful rias is such a constant in his life not just as a presence but as a reliable friend and frankly ylan needs that kind of influence when his schedule is always so busy so he doesnt mind that rias is a total video game nerd and spends more time staring at his screen than ylan, at least it makes it easier for ylan to sneak photos of him (there are a few polaroid of rias’ profile lurking in existence hehe--holy shit ylan probably took a pic of one and put it as his phone home screen im crying omfg a selfie of them together on his laptop screen? he probably doesnt even let rias touch his laptop lol bye)
(also ylan’s insta is probably like a typical perfect insta like..... pics of food and his dog, cute selfies of him and his coworkers every few posts, occasional charity event pic and the right amount of nature and travel pics to make him seem interesting and cultured UGH hes so adorable)
anyways i was gonna write something COMPLETELY DIFFERENT but i got distracted and i need to head to class loll!!!
lol i hate that ylan just unapologetically loves rias it kills me and i have so many scene ideas ok ,
like theres times where ylan’s off duty at the med station and it’s too early to drink and yuen’s off on a kill mission for leliana and everyone around skyhold is busy doing their own thing except ylan so he just pops into rias’ room and lies down on the sofa reading (lol hard in hightown? sure) and helps himself to some wine, waiting for rias to show up
and when he finally shows up ylan’s fallen asleep, rias puts the book aside and crawls over ylan and sinks into him and knows ylan has woken up by the arms that tighten around his waist and rubs circles on his back
also this is an old one but for a modern au i LOVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the idea that it’s like ylan’s bday or their anniversary or something and he mentions to his coworkers that he’s leaving early and casually mentions his bf is picking him up and they all are like OOOOH we get to finally meet the bf!!! is he good enough for our favorite OR nurse!! and they spend all day gossiping trying to figure out what he’s like cause ylan doesn’t talk much about his personal life or love life no less and his instagram is all food pics lol
and when rias shows up at the front desk and ylan is called all the nurses get excited to finally see him and they all peek out the door to the visitor entry as ylan is leaving (and shooing them all away) and at first they dont even notice rias until ylan approaches and hugs him and they’re like wHAT because rias just looks so intense and intimidating (best resting b face) and the juxtaposition of the tough scary looking rias and the smiley warm ylan is just too much im laughing
aLSO!!!! i have this image of rias coming over to ylan’s apartment for dinner (he literally just happens to show up while ylan’s cooking) around the time where theyre not even dating yet and sits against the wall on a stool smoking and watching ylan cook and ylan is blasting music (yuen’s dance playlist) and singing and being silly and rias is just sitting there thinking??? he’s so cute?? and that one upbeat weeknd song comes on and ylan’s dancing makes him laugh and they end up making out against the counter and having sex right on the floor oh my god im crying anD then afterwards they remember about dinner lmfao
he doesnt feel like he needs to apologize for who he is around him and thats just so incredibly liberating
a theme i really like around ylan and rias’ relationship is that theyre so comfortable around each other. ylan doesnt really mind that rias goes in and out of his room (much as he may complain) , or hooks up with others when rias leaves on an assignment, he really just cares that hes around. some nights when rias comes back, ylan stops whatever hes working on and just holds rias for a really long time. theyll talk quietly, drinking or smoking, or sometimes theyll be silent. on really tired nights ylan is quiet, rias pulls him onto the bed and talk idly instead, so ylan can feel the vibrations on his chest and help him sleep.
