⌈⌕⌋ . . . liked this so much i ended up reup it

yi sang .𖥔 ݁ ˖

out of all the things that could’ve happened, this definitely wasn’t on his list. yi sang might look calm and unreadable, but he’s actually caught off guard. and very much on edge.

observes everything in your house, scanning each detail until his eyes land on your bookshelf. it clearly interests him, but with his pocket-sized body. . . oh well. reaching it is another story.

but if you offer to read to him, you’ll earn his trust faster than expected. he won’t say thank you or show obvious emotion, but you’ll notice how attentively he listens.

eventually, he starts waiting in the same spot each day a few minutes early. never says a word, just expects it. you find it oddly endearing.

his favorite spot ends up being your window. whether it overlooks the ocean, a forest, or just a quiet patch of sky, he’ll sit there for hours, admiring. the city surely doesn’t have this kind of peace, therefore this feels like a luxury to him.

if he wants a sip of your tea or coffee, he’ll just stare at it until you get the hint. and when he does speak, his “thank you” is so exquisitely polite it almost feels ceremonial.

doesn’t mind being picked up or placed on the back of your hand, but he prefers sitting somewhere more comfortable. that said, every now and then, you’ll find him leaning against your hand, dozing off.

faust .𖥔 ݁ ˖

as soon as she finds herself in this such strange situation, faust immediately begins analyzing her surroundings. no panic, just mild inconvenience at her new reduced size.

she takes shelter in your desk drawer. it’s not that she dislikes your bed, but her sleep schedule is. let’s just say unconventional. thanks to her, your drawer is now suspiciously clean and organized, though scattered with notes full of formulas only she understands.

never asks for help, but clearly expects you to offer. if you lift her onto the windowsill for a better view, she’ll give a single approving nod. that’s the closest you’ll get to a thank-you, by the way.

she’s very particular about where she sits. your palm is tolerable for short periods, but she prefers the rim of a mug, the edge of your laptop, or the top of your shelf - anywhere she can observe and calculate without interruption.

when you pick her up, she doesn’t react. at all. but if you grab her by the coat and she falls. expect the same icy glare she gave dante. you’ve been warned.

she’s basically a mini version of your homeroom teacher. every time you work on a project, especially anything math-related - she’d wordlessly sits nearby, either observing or judging. ignore that, she’s actually pretty hopeful when it comes to giving advice. she may be smaller now, but her big ahh brain definitely isn’t.

don quixote .𖥔 ݁ ˖

no doubt the loudest, most dramatic, and most excited about this new “adventure to a realm of unknown trials.” she’s barely the size of a coffee mug, but that doesn’t mean your cat is safe from this overly passionate troublemaker.

that said, keep an eye on her or be ready to hear your wallet scream in agony. she breaks your stuff a lot, especially anything she declares “evil”.

follows you around like a tiny squire. if you’re working on something, she’ll perch nearby, offering loud encouragement and the occasional battle cry. you’ve never felt so heroic doing literature homework.

she absolutely loves being picked up and beams with joy if you pat her head. even when you’re not actively doing that, you’ll still find her trying to climb onto your arm, shoulder, or anything that gets her closer to you.

also really enjoys sitting on your head and shoulder. it makes her feel kind of post, like a noble knight surveying her kingdom from the highest tower.

she’s loud and stubborn, sure, but also fiercely loyal. will literally defend you from anything she deems threatening, including your alarm clock.

ryoshu .𖥔 ݁ ˖

her first words would probably be something like “i see this form is insufficient. i’ll c.i.w.f.a.” you don’t know what she meant and you are certain that you don’t want to.

she had hung out around your knife drawer more than once. you’ve had a hard time convincing her that those can actually hurt her, especially when she’s in such. . . size. still, make sure to keep an eye on her.

occasionally disappears for a few hours. sometimes you’ll find her on your shelf, sometimes in your pencil case, and sometimes in even more random places.

while the others seem to enjoy physical contact, ryoshu doesn’t. if you accidentally let her have a needle, she’ll immediately stab it into your hand without hesitation.

but if you ask nicely first, a pat or a gentle nuzzle of your fingers might be tolerable for her. maybe. depends on the weather, probably.

she keeps a collection of sharp things like pins, needles, and anything she finds interesting. you tried to take them away once, but eventually made a deal: as long as she doesn’t hurt anyone, she can keep them.

most of the time, if she’s not busy “painting her own work”, she’s watching you sketch. she might leave a few comments that bruise your ego beyond repair, but deep down - you’ve made a good impression. not that she’d ever admit it, of course.

meursault .𖥔 ݁ ˖

stands so perfectly still it’s genuinely unnerving. you either have to speak first or ask dante to help break the silence. a single blink is the most you’ll get in response if he’s asked anything directly.

he’s oddly fascinated by your calendar and to-do list. you once caught him trying to “optimize” your schedule. the result is either a flawless masterpiece of productivity or a rigid military-grade itinerary that starts at 4:00 am. no in-between.

why look for a reliable note keeper when you have meursault? you adore the way he silently holds your oversized note (two times his size) without complaint. he doesn’t read it or ask why. he just , holds it.

has no idea why patting his head or scooping him up makes you so happy. he doesn’t resist, but he doesn’t react either. at one point, he mutters, “i do not object to the action. though i would prefer it occur less frequently.” - you’re not quite sure if that’s a complaint or just meursault being meursault.

he never asks for anything. not a space, not even food. if you don’t take the initiative, he’ll simply stand there almost for the whole day. you have to be the one to act - to ask what he prefers (though the answer is always the same) or to gently scoop him up and place him on your bed.

despite his professional demeanor and painfully blunt responses, he’s hyper-observant. skipping a meal or staying up too late won’t escape his scrutiny. he says it like a fact, but you like to think it’s his way of caring. (perhaps it really is?)

hong lu .𖥔 ݁ ˖

a complete opposite of meursault, but not quite as full-on excited like don - we have hong lu. surely, all of this is concerning but he’d rather focus on the fun it could bring them (or him alone).

he’s curious about your world, especially the snacks. bonus points if they’re oddly shaped or sweet. you’ll catch him lounging in your cereal bowl or poking at gummy bears like they’re rare artifacts.

hong lu is pretty affectionate. he likes being scooped up, but only if you do it gently; if not, he’ll dramatically pretend to faint just to watch you panic. also instead of hugs, he taps your nose with both hands and says “boop. that’s affection, right?”

if you have long hair, he’ll braid it. (it won’t look good, but you make no effort in stopping him) if your hair’s short, he still manages to nest in it like a smug little bird.

absolutely uses his pocket-sized advantage to sneak into your hoodie’s hood, pockets, and sleeves. he curls up inside and occasionally poking his head out to comment on your life choices.

since he’s from a wealthy family pre-limbus, he’s interested enough to follow you around while you do regular house chores. you know it’s just pure curiosity, but it still stings all the same. the way he watches you scrub dishes or fold laundry like it’s a novelty. yeah, it hits.

too busy looking after every sinner except him? expect a hong lu in your backpack by the time you reach school - he won’t ask, he’ll just climb in. it’s your problem now: either be extremely careful or deal with the consequences.

heathcliff .𖥔 ݁ ˖

absolutely not thrilled about his new form of size. on the contrary, he’s snappy, stressed, and very much on edge like yi sang about the whole situation.

he’ll lash out at the other sinners (hong lu and don, especially) for being “idiots” about it; or at you. or both. depends on the hour.

when he’s not in the mood for physical contact (which is almost always), don’t touch him. if you try to pick him up unexpectedly, expect an awfully painful bite that is long enough to make you let go. he might be small, but he’s still a fighter. and he’ll make sure you remember that.

but that’s just at first sight. over time, the tension eases even just a little. he still refuses your offered food and insists on sleeping on your desk’s bookshelf though - unless necessary (or forced).

to get him to warm up, you’ll need patience and gentleness - even when he’s being ridiculously harsh. starts by letting you give him your handkerchief as a blanket, then eventually, he begins accepting the little treats you leave out. ‘begrudgingly’

when your pencil was sharpened down to nothing but a stub (too short to use anymore), you handed it to him as a gift. he didn’t say thank you or show much of a reaction, but the faint spark in his eyes and the way he holds it so carefully - says it all.

at some point, he gave up trying to keep up the “all bark and all bite” when it came to physical affection; you’re not doing it with bad intent anyway. still, he only tolerates hair ruffling. no scooping or picking up, he won’t take that well. and even with the one he does allow, he never lets it slide without tossing in a few curses and grumbles.

and when you stay up too late working on school projects, heathcliff will bark across the desk “oi! quit messin’ about with that nonsense and get some bloody sleep already, you hear me?!” - it’s not the easiest way to take in concern, yes, but that’s just how he shows he cares.

ishmael .𖥔 ݁ ˖

not talking about panic or confusion, she takes the whole “suddenly pocket-sized in a stranger’s house” surprisingly well.

the kind of person who scans every room, notes every exit, and probably has a mental map of your house before you’ve even properly introduced yourself.

despite her size, she’s more likely to become your sister figure once you earn her trust. if there’s a list of which sinner is the most reliable when it comes to taking care of the others you’re off studying or working, ishmael is no doubt number 1.

not too harsh like outis, or way too stoic like meursault, but firm enough to manage the chaos on her own.

whether you ask or not, she’s always nearby, lingering just close enough to assist. need help organizing notes? done. stubborn math problems? solved. keeping hong lu from climbing into your cereal box again? handled.

physical affection isn’t her default, but if you’re visibly stressed or upset, she’ll sigh and climb onto your arm, sitting there quietly in an attempt to lift your mood.

she doesn’t really mind being held with your fingers or having her head gently patted, but she prefers you ask first. pinching her cheeks, though? yeah, definitely off limits.

she’s made it clear that your paper crafts are “inconvenient” and “make the desk even messier than it already is”, but when you gifted her an orange paper crane, complete with white bows doodled on the head to resemble her - you caught her staring at it, like she wasn’t quite sure how to respond to a gesture that simple yet genuine.

rodion .𖥔 ݁ ˖

sure, she’s a little panicked and concerned at first, but seeing the others safe and sound. . . and you being surprisingly nice about it, she figures this might not be so bad after all.

moving on, she’s an instant nickname giver. you’re getting something like “longlegs” - or whatever pops into her head that day.

watching tv is her favorite pastime, especially dramas. she’ll perch on your shoulder or head, legs swinging, and drop a few comments like “bet he’s gonna cheat. i can feel it.” (she’s usually right)

jokes around constantly, but don’t let that fool you - she’s sharp. the moment you start showing signs of stress, she’ll glance over and say “you look like you need a nap and a drink. preferably both.”

board games? she’s the reigning queen. with just a few sneaky tricks, she’ll have heathcliff + outis sent to jail 5 times in a row in monopoly and doesn’t even try to hide her smugness.

feel like she’s absolutely the type to sit on your knees while you’re ranting - from school bullshits to workplace half baked boss; taking on the role of ‘gossip partner in crime.’ just when you think she’s barely listening? she’ll drop a casual “didn’t they pull this stunt last month too? you need new coworkers.” (no idea how did i think of this, but just have a feeling she’s into gossiping)

rodion’s pretty clingy, but in a teasing way - from shoulder rides, hair twirling to finger pokes. try to move away and she’ll take it super dramatically.

when you’re crafting diys for your little space, she’ll toss out compliments - not too poetic or serious, but just enough to smooth over the ego bruises ryoshu left behind.

emil sinclair .𖥔 ݁ ˖

no words. just absolutely freak the out. like, picturing him goes pale, trembling so violently it looks like he might collapse right then and there. you end up carrying him around tucked between your sleeves for the rest of the day while the others take turns reassuring him.

it’s hard to tell whether he trusts you or not. he doesn’t say it or show it outright, but when a loud noise triggers him and he hides behind your hand - clinging to your fingers like a lifeline - you know. that’s your answer.

every time you ruffle his hair or nuzzle him with your fingers, he blushes like mad. tries to brush you off with stammered words, but always ends up leaning into your touch anyway.

you notice he loves basking in warm light, especially the soft glow of early morning through your window. so that’s why he’s always up so early. . . the light seems to make the world feel a little less terrifying for him. it reminds you of how cats curl up in sunbeams, chasing comfort in silence.

speaking of cats, sometimes he just vanishes. you search everywhere, only to find your cat dragging him back by the coat collar like a tiny, misplaced kitten.

he hates feeling useless. even with his small size, he insists on helping however he can - sorting pens by color, tidying up your desk, stacking sticky notes like it’s a must task.

it’s not much, but it makes him feel like he matters. and when you toss him one of those ‘overrated’ compliments - just a simple “you did great” or “thank you” - his whole day lights up like it’s the best thing he’s ever heard.

outis .𖥔 ݁ ˖

the type who refuses to believe a single word you say unless it’s backed by hard evidence or dante’s confirmation. you’ve learned that the only way to get her to listen is to begrudgingly scoop her up, hold her at eye level, and let dante nod solemnly in agreement. only then will she pause, arms crossed and mutter “. . . acceptable. for now.”

despite her new, notably reduced size, outis remains as sharp-tongued and commanding as ever. she critiques everything, from your posture and schedule to your life choices. you swear you’ve accumulated enough sinking status just from her daily commentary alone.

probably the least likely to be “running after you all the time” compared to the other sinners. sure, she still observes you to gather “information”, but her priorities lie elsewhere: how to return to her old world, managing the chaos of her fellow coworkers, and keeping tabs on your questionable plans(?).

want her to warm up to you? easy, just be dante and you’re set. kidding. for real, let her have control over small things that help her feel grounded like: organizing your planner (she’ll restructure your week with military precision), managing your bookmark folders (expect judgmental side-eyes + disapproval) and overseeing your workspace layout (she’ll call it “tactical optimization”)

once you make it past her walls, she becomes a surprisingly reliable and helpful companion. still professional, still critical - but you can tell there’s a sense of loyalty and gratitude tucked beneath all that pride.

now picture her sitting on your shoulder, halfway through scolding you for missing a task and you just sorta reach up mid-lecture and brush your finger against her face. immediately swats your hand away, grunting “this is wildly inappropriate. refrain from such nonsense.”

gregor .𖥔 ݁ ˖

doesn’t say much. just sighs and accepts whatever fate got thrown his way.

at first, he chose to sleep in the oddest spots around your room - namely, inside your sleep slippers. luckily, they’re fur-lined; but that didn’t stop you from panicking the first time you found him there. he only shrugged and said “figured you wouldn’t be thrilled to see a pest sleeping on your bed like it owns the place.”

took a few rounds of convincing to get him to settle somewhere more reasonable. he still refuses to sleep with you, so the little box you made is good enough for him. occasionally you’ll find him lying there, quietly entertained as he watches his coworkers’ chaos like it’s some nature documentary.

he is a bug, after all. then why are you surprised when you catch him having a full-on conversation with a random beetle outside the window?

he’s not the type to seek out physical affection; in fact, he actively avoids it. his past makes it hard to accept gestures like that without flinching. even so, you’ll still scoop him up or pat him from time to time. he can do nothing but lets out a dry chuckle, “you’re younger and that’s not how respect works, kid.”

if he’s not chilling in his corner, he’s probably staring at you while you work on your projects. unlike faust or outis, he doesn’t judge; just slips in the occasional comment like “your handwriting looks like hell. i like it.”

let him cook. i mean, let him teach you to cook. he’s too small to pick up a spoon now, yeah, but his methods are surprisingly effective. you follow his instructions while he taste-tests everything to confirm it’s not poisoned like a father n’ child session.

had been poisoned 4 times in a row by the way.

꒰꒰  🚌　SURPRISE HUG !

the title, attempting to give the LCB Sinners a surprise hug! 一　headcanons , gn reader , mostly implied established relationship but can be read as platonic , may be ooc I'm just typing shi... also my first post hi guys.. hi limbus fanbase.. , ~2.8k wc ( it was NOT supposed to be this long )

一 YI SANG　#01

He's not that hard to sneak up on, considering he's usually in thought. 

Gets surprised when you initially wrap your arms around him, but quickly relaxes once he realizes it's you, a small smile blossoming on his face as he lets you hug him while asking if you want anything from him. 

If you just want his company, he's more than happy to oblige, although he would be a bit flustered as he returns to his train of thought with you leaning against him. He's also happy to tell you about what he's been thinking about or working on if you ask, explaining himself with a gentle smile. 

If you just wanted to hug him or check on him, he tells you he appreciates it, though he would also let you know that if you ever wanted a proper hug from him, you could always tell him.

Overall, Yi Sang enjoys it, provided you don't interrupt and try to pull him away from a line of deliberate thought, though he never gets genuinely annoyed at you for it. 

一 FAUST　#02

Good luck even trying to sneak up on her.

I don't know why, but I just see her as the type that'd be impossible to sneak up on. You can try, but she turns her head around before you so much as even step near her vicinity and asks you what meaningless tricks you are trying to pull.

If you wanted a hug, you could simply ask her (also, there's no guarantee she will oblige, but you have a better chance than by attempting to sneak up on her). But no chance she'll ever let herself be ambushed by a surprise hug, not while risking losing her dignity in front of the Gesellschaft. Faust has already heard enough berating from them. 

Although if you somehow, somehow successfully sneak up on her and manage to hug her, she will stiffen up for the slightest second before realizing it's you and gently pushing you away, then acting like it was a sin that you dared to even go near her genius presence. The audacity!

In truth, Faust does not hate it. Although the feeling is pretty foreign to her, she doesn't even dislike it (well, she might be a bit irritated that you snuck up on her to do it). She just really has to hide those feelings to protect what honour she has left in the Gesellschaft. 

一 DON QUIXOTE　#03

Lets out the most comical squeal if you manage to sneak up on her. On that topic, she's on the harder side to sneak up on, just because she's usually upright and energetic, and also seems to have an uncanny sixth sense for things.

Quickly relaxes and laughs when she realizes it's you, returning your hug eagerly while complimenting your skills. "Oho, it appears you have launched a sneak attack most ingenious!" 

Expect her to return the favour soon. Once you start the war, she only believes it's right that she treats you the same! You will be seeing many surprise hugs from her. Sometimes she purposefully exaggerates her footsteps so you anticipate her, but when she wants to be, she can be decently sneaky. 

Don sees it a bit like a very light-hearted, playful game. She looks forward to your hugs and does the same thing to you.

一 RYŌSHŪ　#04

Another one who's hard to sneak up on. I just get that feeling from her. 

Most of your surprise-hug attempts will be immediately foiled as she turns around with a "Don't even try" expression before (playfully) insulting your stealth skills. 

Though if she knows you better, or she's in a more teasing mood, she'll walk over, grab you, and give you her version of a loving embrace while still insulting your terrible stealth skills. Now you're on the receiving end. This is what you wanted, right? No complaining. Her hug is solid enough not to necessarily hurt, but enough so that you have no chance of escaping. Ha.

If you do successfully sneak up on her and manage to hug her, she instantly stiffens before she realizes it's you. She might let you have a few seconds of your glory before she pushes you away. "S.T.B."

Like Faust, if you wanted a hug, you can just ask her for one, and she's more likely to oblige. 

一 MEURSAULT　#05

Also similar to Faust in the sense that he will be able to just... miraculously tell when you're trying to sneak up on him. But in all seriousness, he's pretty watchful and active, so managing to surprise-hug him successfully is a very hard feat. 

Nine times out of ten, he will turn to look at you and ask you if there's anything you need, just as you thought you really got him this time. If you just ask him for a hug, he'll do it with some blunt statement like "Commencing hugging."

The one time out of ten, he overall seems unbothered about it; you may feel a slight pause when you wrap your arms around him as he processes the feeling, but that's about it.

He quickly recognizes it's you and accepts the physical contact without so much of a flinch, though he does ask you about the hug's objective or if you needed something from him. He doesn't mind receiving them, though he would appreciate it if you were direct about the hug in the future. 

一 HONG LU　#06

Relatively hard to sneak up on. He might catch you in the act of attempting to, but he's more chill and perceptive about it and will likely deduce that you want some sort of affection from him and tease you about it, though he does eventually give you the hug you wanted. 

When you do, he's surprised at first but eases into it very quickly, teasing you and reciprocating it smoothly. He's happy to keep you there and let you look at whatever he was doing, or just chat with you. 

Like Don Quixote, you can expect that he will absolutely start initiating surprise hugs for you, too. He's very playful about it and might do those things where he creeps up on you and covers your eyes, pokes your cheek, or goes "Surprise!" and laughs when you squeak in surprise. (Though he's pretty considerate and makes sure he isn't catching you at a bad time)

You have no idea what you started. He will do this a lot to tease you from now on. 

一 HEATHCLIFF　#07

Do not do this to him. Listen, he's fine if you want to ask him for a hug (though he will absolutely be very awkward and shuffly about it), but he's just too on guard to be receiving a surprise hug. 

If you manage to sneak up on him, and you're lucky, he'll just quickly push you away and tell you not to do that, and that you can always ask him for a hug next time. If you're unlucky, you're getting shoved or punched out of sheer muscle memory.

Obviously, he feels bad about it immediately, though after obviously making sure you're okay first, he'll tell you that you should ask him in the future. 

There are a few ways you can work around getting this bad reaction. If you're chatting or beside him beforehand and move to hug him out of nowhere, he'll be caught off guard and will pretend to dislike it, though he really does enjoy it, even though his body language doesn't necessarily show it (he's either shuffling around like crazy or as stiff as a board). He's still getting into this thing, so give him some time, okay?

一 ISHMAEL　#08

Hard to sneak up on, since she's pretty down to earth and alert. If she catches you, she'll just squint and ask what you're trying to do. 

If you do manage to surprise her, Ishmael stiffens up immediately. If she's in a good mood or somewhat anticipated it, she kind of relaxes when she realizes it's you, but keeps the hug very brief since she's really, really not used to affection like this. Otherwise, you might be quickly getting pushed away (lightly). She really, really, prefers it if you tell her that you want a hug beforehand and will let you know that.

She doesn't dislike affection from you; she's just one of those in the list who would dislike getting surprise affection in particular. I can see her as the type to be a bit irritated, scolding you before quickly dismissing herself for some time.

She cools off fine enough, though she might give you a few suspicious side-eyes the next few times she sees you approaching from her peripheral vision in the future. 

一 RODION　#09

Gets a little surprised when you first hug her, but Rodion is Rodion: she's super smooth and gets into it very easily, reciprocating the hug with ease. 

Assuming you hugged her while she's in her usual good spirits, she's a tease about it; she will poke light-hearted fun at the initial action before dropping a cheerful and familiar nickname, before playfully asking about what you've been up to or engaging in some banter with you. 

I feel like she generally prefers it if she could anticipate your hugs, but she never gets irritated at them unless you choose to hug her during those moments where she's more gloomy, though during those times, she's more likely to push you away, then act as if nothing happened or avoid the subject when she feels better again.

I can definitely see her as the type to get into them. Might teasingly sneak up on you and hug you, just to see your reaction.

一 DANTE　#10

Very flustered. It's easy to sneak up on them if you can catch them at the right time, like when they're focused or muttering away at some work they have to do.

As soon as you hug them and catch them by surprise, they let out an erratic burst of nonsensical tick-tocking and flustered words, flailing their arms a bit before they process what is happening and slowly ease into it. They're super awkward about it, but will eventually, although gingerly, reciprocate it and stiffly pat you on the back a few times. 

Afterwards, Dante asks you if there's something you wanted from them or what the entire purpose of that hug was. They might scold you with no real weight behind their words, reminding you that you should ask or let them know next time, as they could be busy or dealing with something important. (They're happy you gave them a break)

Dante, truthfully, enjoys the hug and the affection, just not the surprise part of it. They're very hesitant about it, but to be fair, it's been a while since the poor manager felt real fondness, like the hugs you give them. 

一 SINCLAIR　#11

Very flustered 2.0. 

Like Dante, it's also pretty easy to sneak up on him successfully, given that he's in thought or concentrating on something. 

When you land your oh-so-evil surprise hug, he yelps, freezes up immediately, stutters, and his face begins to heat up like a tomato the more he processes that Oh, it's you, and you're hugging him. He's so flustered that he can't even move his legs to run away. What did he do to ever deserve this? (He likes the hug, he really does, but... just take it easy on the poor guy)

Once he regains his senses, which takes a while, he manages to stutter through asking you what you did that for, face still steaming red from embarrassment, only to turn even redder once you tell him you just wanted to be affectionate with him.

Like Ishmael, he'll give you a few distrustful side-eyes when he sees you approaching him from the side in the future, though he's more flustered about it. Just thinking about the moment will get his cheeks warming up. 

一 OUTIS　#12

Probably the hardest to sneak up on. She's very guarded and vigilant and will spot you coming.

When she inevitably catches you on an attempt, her head snaps around, and she begins to berate you, asking you what kind of immature tomfoolery you are attempting to pull on her and scolding you on the professionalism of the working environment and how it is highly frowned upon to sneak up on someone like that. 

Look, if you ask her for a hug, she might seem reluctant, but will eventually let you do so, assuming there's a good reason for it; though under no circumstances would she ever allow herself to fall for such cheap, childish pranks like this one.

If you somehow do it successfully, she stiffens up, responds immediately and pushes you away in a blink, and begins to berate you again, reminding you that you can just ask her instead of resorting to such juvenile acts. So no matter the route you take, you're getting scolded. 

一 GREGOR　#13

Do not do this to him 2.0. Really, this is a bad idea. He's already hesitant and stiff with physical affection as it is due to his bug arm.

Regardless of whether or not he processes that it's you, he pushes you away almost immediately, hesitantly stepping back a few paces before telling you not to do that again. He won't act extremely angry or lash out in front of you, so he leaves as fast as he can for a smoke.

He's willing to forget about it as long as you understand that it's not a good idea to try that again. He really wants affection from you, he truly does, but that paralyzing fear and disgust for himself will never let him properly accept such sudden affection from you.

Sleeping HC's with the female sinners! (+ Intimidating evil clockhead on the background)

Dreadcore yap session: first request <3 should probably be popping a bottle of champagne or something like that xd. Im really happy for the support the last one got although i found it a bit crappy i will try harder this time😔 aside from PM i can see myself writing for jjk or hoyoverse (i have a csm school au headcanon wip from like god know how long ago, probably wont write any csm apart from that one after THAT ending)

 Faust

She stays up late every night. I feel she would only get to bed at like 4 am when you're already asleep.

She's a bit of a hypocrite, i can imagine her lecturing you about your sleep habits. What about her? Faust is built different apparently, geniuses of her caliber must adapt and overcome but as long you stay below her you WILL sleep your 8 hours.

Faust will usually be the big spoon, i imagine her liking being the small one but since she gets to bed ultra late thats the easiest way to snuggle with you.

When she wakes up earlier than you she just stares at you, watching drool slowly drip from your mouth to the pillow. Apparently being a good cuddle parter is something faust can pride herself in, no geselchaft involved.

Don quixote

Has a lot of those pijama sets with the santa hat looking thingy, she would be very happy if you wore one with her.

Its you, donqui and your color fixer plushie collection against the world. If she ever catches you sleeping while cuddling one of those she would be SOOOOO jealous, she will wake you up and demand explanations. She will NOT stand this (she says as she cuddles onto your chest)

She moves so much on her sleep. she is stealing the blankets, as much as you try before you even realize the blanket is gone and you're cold and miserable while she sleeps besides you totally oblivious about the evil acts she inflicts upon her most beloved.

Ryoshu

While one may think she wakes up at 5 am from the rigorous training she went at the house of spiders you would be wrong, whats the real reason?

She needed to get Araya ready for school thats all😭 if it wasn't for the habit she picked up with Araya she would have started waking up at 5 pm as soon as she got out that place.

She definitely has drawn you while sleeping. She has a sketchbook she keeps tucked somewhere with drawings upon drawings of you drooling on HER pillow cases (honestly i cant decide if she would have some fancy ass pillow cases or no pillow cases at all… i guess im truly a larper sfter all😔).

Ishmael

Every days is an adventure with her. Trying to untangle from her hair might as well be consider on the same level as a travel to the outskirts.

You swear it has a life on its own the way it just seems to magically target your mouth and orifices. and then your most beloved has the nerve, the absolute GALL to complaining about you getting her hair dirty? She must be out of her- oh you two can shower together? Now that you mention it…

Honestly i really dont see her as the snuggler type, she seems like someone who would enjoy to have you brushing her hair while you both talk. Doing your morning routine together is absolutely her favorite part of the day.

Thats why you two are sleeping at the same hours (yes, shes forcing you).

Rodya

Y'all arent getting anywhere im so fucking sorry 😭

She's like a big ass teddy bear, i feel it would start with any of you two as the big spoon only to end with this non euclidian mess of arms that is nothing more than a crime against nature, arts and God itself.

Its SUCH a hastle to try and untangle yourselfs so why not just chill? 5 minutes, right? We dont have anything to do today, right? (You must definitely had something to do that day)

Outis

Look i would love to be like "oh she would do an exception for you she would do x and y but like…" :/

She's running this shit as a boot camp im so sorry. I see her getting more lax as the canto's go on but she would be strict about sleep schedules.

The struggle to get those extra 5 minutes is one that shall go in history. Thousand of cheek kisses, hundreds of whimpers yet nothing. You are not getting them im so sorry

Dante

If im not wrong in the nocturnal sweeping intervallo its stated they dont need to sleep. They would enjoy just staring at you while working on some stuff or occasionally cuddling you for mental health purposes.

I feel they would feel like such a weirdo for things that are relatively normal for couples

Like, wow you decided to watch a horror movie just so your partner gets scared and cuddles you? Absolute WEIRDO behavior

Belive it or not they end up the one being scared, ending up in your lap? Mission failed successfully i guess?

Only One Bed

Tags: All LCB Sinners (separate) x reader, fluff, some of these are more ooc than others

a/n: It's so clear that I know how to write like 3 of these guys sorry lol (ᵕ—ᴗ—)

Yi Sang

Very insistent on you taking the bed for yourself

Less of an embarrassment thing for him, more of a "I could never let someone else suffer when I could bear the consequences myself" type thing

However, if you insisted or made it clear that you'd feel uncomfortable being the only one on the bed, then he'd be more than willing to join you

Not a massive cuddler, but would end up curling against you

Would probably find your presence rather comforting, and would end up sleeping well for once

He'll probably ask you to do this again LK;DJSLJATILAJTIJELIJTIOL;J

Faust

Starts spouting some nonsense about how she is a superior being and that she doesn't need sleep

In reality her abundance of mirror world selves has not prepared her for this

Will not join you, no matter how much you fuss

Would only be willing if she REALLY liked you or you were great at emotionally manipulating her

Even if she didn't join you at the start though, she'd probably find herself joining you in the bed some time late at night

I feel like she'd intertwine her fingers with yours before sleeping 

Don Quixote

Does! Not! Care!!!!!

Probably really excited about having a sleepover with you

There will most likely be a pillow fight, even if it's just you two throwing one singular pillow at each other

However those shoes are not leaving her feet sooo… good luck

Moves a lot in her sleep, will most likely end up with her arm on your face and her leg over your body

She's oh so sweet though so you can't truly get mad

Ryoshu

Congratulations on getting the chance to sleep on the floor

Share the bed? I.Y.D.

Call me a hater, I just can't see anything else from what I've seen of her so far (Canto 5)

Maybe. MAYBE if she really liked you then she'd let you in the bed

But she would probably cuddle with her sword over you 

Meursault

He is similar to Faust in the sense that he is also saying a bunch of nonsense, but his speech boils down to "both of you need good sleep so you should share the bed"

Will not converse with you in the slightest, will simply tell you to sleep

Falls asleep at 10 pm flat and then becomes a rock until 6 am

If he likes you though, you may sense the slightest shift of his body towards your direction

Subtle to the point that you'd think you're imagining things

Hong Lu

Another person that I think would be fine with it

However him and his rich boy tendencies will make him take up most of the bed

I feel like his actions would change drastically depending on how he felt about you

If he felt neutral or mainly platonic, then I feel like he'd just end up intertwining limbs with you as he hogged most of the bed

But if he liked you, he'd be a bit more sly, taking the opportunity to cuddle with you

His hair would be oh so soft… but you would most likely end up somehow wrapped up inside of it by the time morning comes

Also if you couldn't sleep then you two would do skincare together

Heathcliff

He's fairly chill about it

I don't see him flipping out about it, but he's not super excited either

But if he likes you? Oh, then that's a different story

Desperately trying to keep his cool and seem impressive while in reality he's just kind of flailing around

If any of his actions make you laugh, he won't know if to feel happy or offended

Will take him a while to fall asleep, but once he does he'll end up holding you in his arms

Ishmael

Now this is the one person that I think has a truly normal reaction

She really just is chill with it regardless

She usually leaves her hair out when she sleeps, but she'd be willing to braid it for your comfort

If you offer to do it for her, she'll act normal but feel really happy about it

Ends up slightly curling up against you, absorbing your warmth

Probably the best sleep she's had in a while

Rodya

She's pretty happy about this arrangement

She gets to spend time with you and get some extra warmth? Win win

Will no doubt pull out a deck of cards from who knows where and play a couple of rounds with you

She's willing to lose a few games, but she will make sure she's the winner overall 

Will most likely end up bear hugging you to sleep

Sinclair

He is so freaking nervous he thinks he's going to combust into flames

Offers several times to sleep on the floor, half for your sake and half for his

He's so nervous that he can't even remember how he normally acts

If he likes you and Ryoshu knows about it, then he might recite some of her horrible advice in his head just to keep his cool

Will not sleep a single minute that night, but will be very very giddy in the morning 

Outis

Not delighted by this circumstance, but she'll make it work

From what I've seen, Outis doesn't really like being vulnerable, and this situation is just about as vulnerable as it could get

Starts rattling on about how you two cannot cause any issues to the Executive Manager, and therefore you must both get adequate rest

In other words, she wants to share the bed

Falls asleep in 5 minutes flat, and probably ends up slightly curling up against you

Will fully deny all allegations in the morning though

Gregor

Not a fan of this arrangement in the slightest

It's not about you at all, rather it's about him and his arm

Will refuse to share the bed with you, saying that he'll sleep on the floor and that's final

Above anything he could want, he doesn't want to hurt you

Will talk with you about whatever you want until you fall asleep

He might watch you for a bit during the night, wondering about what could've been if he wasn't a monster

Thanks for reading <3

"Would you love me if I was a worm?" Pt. 5

Featuring the sinners! Side note: My mutual @sakurablossoms777 has made their own post with this concept featuring Yi Sang, Hong Lu and Heathcliff. I'm pretty sure most of you read it but in case any of you haven't, go read it right now!!!

₊✦Limbus Company | Sinners x gn!reader | Potential spoilers!✦₊

“…Yes.”

Yi Sang’s answer is delayed as he imagines a tiny little worm you with a smile on his lips. He imagines how cute you’d look sitting atop his palm, wriggling around like the little worm you were. It goes unsaid, but if you ever turn into a worm then he will happily bring you home and provide the most lavish life style to you.

“Faust already loves you as a worm.”

Faust means that literally. Through the Gesellscheft, she’s aware that there are mirror worlds where terrible things have fallen upon you; reducing you to a worm in one sense or another. Those mirror worlds aren’t exactly common and the one thing that stays true between them all — besides the fact that you have turned into a worm — was her love and devotion to you.

Unfortunately, if you’re not close at this point in your relationship, then you might register her words as making fun of you instead.

“Of course I’d love thee as a worm!! I shall love thee no matter!!!”

Even the possibility of her answering that question with a “no” makes Don feel sick to her stomach. You stuck beside her even after you found out her nature as a bloodfiend. It wouldn’t be fair if she stopped loving you all because you turned into a harmless and helpless little creature.

But also you being a worm meant that she can have an easier time carrying you on her shoulder and running around, showing you cool stuff, the likes. Of course she’d love you as a worm when she can still do fun things with you.

“Heh. I.L.Y.A.”

Ryoshu doesn’t bother to say anything more. She couldn’t care much either if you didn’t understand what she was trying to say regardless of how simple it was. You’d find out through her actions just how far her devotion for you went soon enough.

“Yes.”

Meursault’s actual answer is a bit more complex than that. However Meursault is aware of what kind of question this is and what the asker is looking for in an answer so that’s exactly what he tells you. If you want his real answer or if you want to actually discuss this question, then he’ll oblige.

“A worm? I can’t love a worm though~”

Hong Lu’s teasing. Of course he’d love you no matter what you looked like, but if you just hand him an opportunity to tease you then he’ll tease you to hell and back until you’re tired of it.

“How would I even know it’s you?”

If there is a way for Heathcliff to know the worm is you, then his answer is yes. If there’s no way for him to know, then the answer is a more hesitant yes. He doesn’t have the heart to tell you that there’s even a single situation where he doesn’t love you — especially since he’d go to hell and back just to take care of you if you got sick or hurt, no matter how severe the illness or injury is — and he certainly knows better than to do so to his significant other.

“I wouldn’t love a worm.”

Ishmael’s answer is curt, but her real answer left unsaid is longer than that. That while she wouldn’t love you if you became a worm, she’d turn the world upside down in search of a way to turn you back human. Even if she doesn’t love you any more, she believes it’s her duty as your lover to do this much for you.

However if you like being a worm and want to stay as one then she’ll ditch you. She’s not into bugs.

“Of course! I’d love you no matter what you were~”

Truthfully, Rodya fears that the answer is closer to a no than it is to a yes. There’s no way to know for sure until something like this actually happens and even then the actual answer would depend on whether you can become human again or not. However the thought of being stuck to a worm for the rest of her life… isn’t appealing. However she also can’t bear the thought of abandoning you, a tiny worm, all by yourself with no way to survive.

Thankfully though this is just a hypothetical question and Rodya doesn’t actually need to worry about the details or how she’d need to deal with a bug that grosses her out just by existing.

<Sure…?>

Dante doesn’t really get the point of the question. Isn’t it natural that they would love you no matter what you looked like, especially since you loved them despite their clock head? It might not be the same thing, but the point is that Dante will always love you.

“Y- Yes, of course!”

Sinclair is not a stranger to this question given that he heard the girls in his class repeatedly ask it to the boys they liked. He never had anyone ask it to him… until now, that is. He’s caught a bit off guard when you ask it, both because of the aforementioned fact and because of the sudden yet small flood of memories that come flooding in when you do, but his answer comes swiftly otherwise.

“No.”

Outis answers like she’s sure of herself, but she’d be far more conflicted if the scenario were to actually happen. Regardless of what her exact feelings for you are, seeing you be turned into something so helpless and vulnerable would make her feel odd. When it came down to it, she would abandon — and even kill — you without hesitance or reluctance, but that doesn’t mean that she doesn’t love you.

Gregor’s mind wanders to his past at your question; to the war, to all the people who were turned into bugs and other monstrosities during it. He can’t imagine you as a worm, but he can imagine your body twisting and transforming until you’re a monstrosity of a bug like him and many of his comrades. He can imagine you crawling towards him after being mutilated by the soldiers on the other side, begging him to save you when he can’t even—

“—Huh? Uh, sure. Yeah…”

The question has slipped his mind by the time he answers it. He’s out of it, he’s upset, but he doesn’t want to lash out at you so he quickly excuses himself and goes somewhere secluded to smoke.

✧ what gifts would the sinners get you? (limbus sinners x gn!reader)

💌: hi guys... did you remember i was an account that existed? i'm sorry for taking such a long break, my ldr visited me for a week and then i got caught up doing schoolwork. i'm on spring break now, though, so there'll be at least one more post this week! this is my first time doing an x reader... i just felt like doing one and seeing how it does. if this performs well, i'll do more! NOTE: I HAVE NOT DONE ALL OF CANTO 8 AND 9, SO PLEASE FORGIVE ME FOR ANY MISCHARACTERIZATION! all (minus dante) under cut! wc: 1.8k

yi sang uses what he is best at to charm you: his words. he’ll give you presents on important days, take you out on dates and pay when it’s your birthday, but the real gift comes from the cards and speeches he makes that encompass all his feelings using pure rhetoric. most of the time, they’re either poems or short paragraphs, but they’re enough to make you tear up every time. it’s difficult for him to truly express himself on the spot, he says, and he isn’t the most emotive person in the world, so he knows that his talent comes in handy during moments when he’s overwhelmed by how much he feels for you. to him, you are not only good practice for literally using love language, but a person that writing cannot express. no word is enough to describe how beautiful you are in his eyes, so that’s why he keeps trying with every paper he comes across.

faust somehow manages to know exactly what you want without you ever asking. you’ll come to her room one day at her request and find that she’s bought you something you wanted but didn’t get – you didn’t even tell her that you liked the item in the first place, having only given it a passing glance, so it’s a mystery how she figured it out. it’s always random too, her gifts. every time, without warning, she’ll just casually mention having something for you and you know that she’s used her magical powers to buy you another thing that you wanted. the truth, in reality, is simple: she just pays attention to you a lot. that, and the gesellschaft provides some hints, but it’s mostly her intuition and careful observation that allows her to make appropriate purchases. one of the fausts warned her that she was spoiling you, but she doesn’t care as long as it makes you smile, since it means she knows another way to bring out that lovely expression from you.

don quixote loves to give you her things. things that she’s collected over the years, been extremely gentle with because of the memories they hold. old fixer posters and figures, preserved through the years and almost in perfect condition. she’ll let you hold them and turn them over in your hands because she trusts you, and she loves it when you ask about them so that she can ramble. to her, the best thing about it is how you always listen to what she has to say and always show your interest. other than that, she also finds little trinkets that remind you of her and gives them to you, no matter how small or big they are. if she finds a stone that has a heart-shaped hole in it, she’s giving it to you. if there’s a ring from an obscure alleyway store with a unique pattern engraved into the metal, it’s getting put on your finger. anything that reminds her of your bond will always be given to you.

ryoshu doesn’t really do gifts. she doesn’t see the point in those kinds of things, because she thinks that as long as she shows it, material items hardly matter in a relationship. of course, there are some exceptions, like the lighter that you engraved your initials into, but she’d still use the lighter if you didn’t do that. just less, because there’d be less reason to look at it. if there’s anything she would consider a gift, it’s the things she lends to you, like her coat when you’re cold or a cigarette (even if you don’t smoke) just to match what she’s doing. it’s a two-way street, too – she hardly feels the need to accept anything you give her unless she feels it’s absolutely necessary. but luckily for you, that tends to be often.

meursault, true to his nature, will not get you anything unless you explicitly say you want it… but there’s no limit to it. if you say you want a drink, he’s getting one for you. if you say you want a new phone, he’s getting it. if you say you want a cat, he’s showing up later that day with one. no matter how expensive it is, it ends up in your arms – it gets to a point where you have to tell him whether you truly want something or are just making a passing comment. he’s satisfied following what you want, although it does pain him slightly to hear you take back some of your wishes. as far as he’s aware and analyzed thus far, whenever he gets you exactly what you want, you end up happy in the end even if there’s a bit of pushback at the beginning. so hearing you say that you’re only joking dissatisfies him, even if he never shows it.

at first, hong lu spoils you. he gets you expensive things, and like meursault, if you even mention an item, it’s going to be given to you within the next 24 hours. but eventually, he begins to slow down, both under your request and his own conscience. the gifts go from extravagant to more heartfelt, a bouquet of flowers full of colors you like instead of a giant arrangement that he thought truly showed his love. at first, he can tell that his sudden withdrawal concerns you, but he notices that the things you get from him this time make you smile wider than when he showered you with money. he doesn’t take any offense to it and instead realizes that he’d rather make your smile a rarity that he deserves instead of something so easily given to him by his own doing.

heathcliff gifts you things that remind him of you, mainly. although he doesn’t have any qualms about spending money when it comes to you, it’s a habit to make something out of nothing that he can’t seem to shake off. he’d rather treat you to something impressive with his cash than give you a bunch of small things, so he waits till then and instead gives you personalized items. with clumsy hands, he makes flower chains and crowns to adorn you, takes the time to learn how to bake and cook so that he can surprise you on date nights. he never asks you for anything unless you offer it first, and enjoys showing off the skills he’s acquired in his quest to make you swoon. his heart swells with pride when it works every time – it never gets old.

ishmael would be big into giving you trinkets. things she’s collected from voyages, bits and pieces of the places she’s visited that she couldn’t bring you to because she didn’t want you to be in the danger she puts herself in out at sea. she’d be big into handmade things too, similar to don, and spends hours to make sure it’s perfect for her and you – it has the type of aesthetic you like while maintaining her imperfect yet charming style. most of all, though, she likes things that she can see on you, to remind her that she’s a part of you like you are to her: bracelets  composed of sailor’s knots made out of cord that’s your favorite color, necklaces that have a sunset-colored stone, a keychain that you and her made together. it reminds her that you’ll always be a compass that directs her to where her home is: where you are.

rodya, like heathcliff, promises to treat you when she strikes it big. so till then, she’s giving you everything she can and more, pulling out all the stops to ensure that everything she gets is shared with you in some way. if there’s someone inviting her to dinner, she’s bringing you along. if she can’t, she’ll bring any leftovers she can find so you two can share while watching something that you picked out on the tv. she prefers to gift you in experiences, whether that be lying in bed all day or taking a trip to the shopping district to try on all their outfits and laugh at the terrible taste of some rich people. the way she sees it, time spent with you is her gift, so she wants to prolong it as much as possible to enjoy each moment.

sinclair makes sure to pay attention to the things you like and dislike so that when he does give you things, they can be extra special. whenever you tell him about an achievement you’ve made, whether it be cleaning out your room or finishing a tough task you had, he uses it as an excuse to give you gifts. he does it sparingly, though, in order to not make you think that he’ll always give you things… but it doesn’t change the fact that he wants to do that. all the time. he likes spending time with you in any way, but seeing you enjoy the things he gets for you makes him happy, since he knows that you’re pleased. he’s a bit of an overthinker when it comes to your relationship, so the validation emboldens him.

outis gives gifts as she sees fit. she knows when to spoil you and when to hold back, waiting for more practical or special moments to hand you something that you’ve been wanting for a while. she’s attentive, which is how she knows these things about you, and keeps a mental (and physical) list of everything you’ve mentioned with a fond tone in order to ensure the most optimal gift schedule. she’s also big into handmade things, especially if they’re things that can stand for a while. if you mention liking a certain flower, she’ll find some place to plant it that you always pass by. if you mention wanting to start a new hobby, she’ll get you everything you need – if that hobby leads to you giving something to her, that makes her heart beat a little faster.

gregor, surprisingly, likes to give you everything you want. he hates to see you sad or yearning, so he does his best with what he has to make sure you get anything you like. he enjoys surprising you, too, so he’ll sometimes go behind your back to get you something you had your eye on just to see your eyes light up as you gush about how kind he is. it eases his mind to know that you enjoy everything you get from him, and those moments do take up a lot of his good memories, but he also values the quiet time you two have. especially when he can smoke late at night on the balcony and listen to you talk quietly about your day while you sip on some drink he made for you, since it makes him feel closer to you. 

[shibology]

may i request scenarios where we hug each of the sinners (including dante)?

hugging the sinners!

notes: gn reader, can be read as romantic or platonic, sinner!reader

a/n: YAAAYYYY first revival request!! me when tumblr's save function doesn't work so i have to rewrite half of these 🥲 also mobile tumblr is a mess remind me to write exclusively on desktop now omg 😭😭😭 this has taken like three attempts to post

sinner no. 1 — yi sang

hugging yi sang would be filled with gentleness and comfort. he would tense up a little bit when you wrap your arms around him, but would eventually ease up when they're fully wrapped. i feel like he's naturally cold, but despite that, his hugs still feel comforting. i feel like he would pat your back a little as well as he pulls away.

sinner no. 2 — faust

hugging faust would be an interesting experience, at first, she says no, and then again, and again, and again.. but eventually she finally agrees to let you hug her! you'd wrap your arms around her and she wouldn't really return it that much, would mostly just stand there and look down (or up) at you as you hug her. face filled with curiosity, probably wondering why people like hugs so much anyway.

sinner no. 3 — don quixote

hugging don will be filled with excitement and warmth! she feels honored you wanted a hug from her, and she happily accepts. squeezes you tight, but not too tight! she doesn't wanna hurt you! she's also the type to rub your back gently right before she pulls away, feeling quite proud of herself and happy she got to hug you!

sinner no. 4 — ryoshu

hugging ryoshu would be an unexpected experience, like faust, i feel like she's the type to decline a few times before finally saying yes. she's the type to give those one arm hugs and sometimes two arms when she's feeling good that day. i feel like her hugs carry a special warmth, though. when you hug her, it fills you with ease, and it feels like nothing can hurt you or get to you while your wrapped around her. also has a naturally warm body temperature.

sinner no. 5 — meursault

hugging meursault would be a very standard experience. he accepts your proposal, wraps around you firmly with both arms, holds it for about exactly three seconds, then pulls away. he may also pat your back a little bit.

sinner no. 6 — hong lu

hugging hong lu is a joyful experience! he gladly accepts your request and wraps around you with both of his arms. he has a very firm but gentle grip on you, you can literally feel the warmth radiating off of him. he seems like the type to pat your head a little bit before pulling back with a smile on his face, and hopefully one on yours.

sinner no. 7 — heathcliff

heathcliff, surprisingly, says yes when you first ask. it's more like a "..sure why not." but it works! he would also tense up a bit as he sees you coming in, but would overall be accepting. he would probably wrap around you with one arm while looking away all embarrassed. his hugs are quite nice, though! he pats your back firmly and pulls away first, satisfied.

sinner no. 8 — ishmael

ishmael would accept with a sigh, not an annoyed one, but a relaxed one. she wraps one arm around you at first, but eventually decides to wrap the other one around you too. she flashes a slight smile when she looks down and sees how pleased you look. she didn't understand why you chose her to hug out of all people, but nevertheless it makes her feel quite wanted. she'd also rub you back gently for the entire duration of the hug. you end up pulling away first.

sinner no. 9 — rodion

hugging rodya fills you with a sense of comfort and familiarity, she hugs with both arms, and may lift you off the ground a little, not intentionally, but i feel like it's just something that happens naturally when she hugs people. makes you feel safe, yknow?

sinner no. 10 — dante

dante would nervously accept as confused as they are, but they eventually warm up. they wrap around you with both arms and would probably melt into you a little bit, making it seem like this is something they've been needing for a long time. they pat your back twice before pulling away.

sinner no. 11 — sinclair

sinclair accepts nervously as well, gently holding you with both arms wrapped around you, almost a bit too gentle, like he's afraid of accidentally hurting you. i feel as if his arms wouldn't fully be wrapped around you, only halfway, he's likely too shy to fully hug you, but he's still smiling nonetheless! 10/10 experience

sinner no. 12 — outis

another sinner who declines a bunch of times before reluctantly giving in, she gives those awkward side hugs and when you tell her that's not enough she starts yapping about how she can't do that in front of her executive manager blah blah blah.. but when you two are away from everyone else? she offers a firm hug with both of her arms. the hug doesn't last long, but it's good enough for you.

sinner no. 13 — gregor

gregor's hugs are calm and friendly. he accepts without thinking about it and hugs you firmly with his arm, patting you on the back and may even pat your head if he feels like it. his hugs make you feel quite safe and secure, kinda holds an 'i got you' type of feeling. hugging each sinner!

[mourninggray]

✦ YOU’RE ALL I NEED — UNDERNEATH THE TREE!

LCB sinners x reader.

overview. mistletoe headcanons, featuring a few of the sinners!

warnings. discussion of spoilers. possible mischaracterization.

notes. very late christmas special… i hope everyone had a nice christmas ❤️❤️; and have a happy new year :) these hcs are a bit lower in quality… please forgive me sniffles

:: rodion.

intentionally brings you under the mistletoe.

she’s smooth with it; shamelessly and deliberately leading you towards the hanging, decorated plant, making sure that you’re completely unaware of this even happening. sure, she’s kissed you aplenty before—but this feels more special. some of the other sinners can’t help but sigh and shake their head over your obliviousness. other sinners (don quixote, gregor, and possibly ishmael) are actively egging on the 9th sinner.

once she finally gets you directly under it, rodya is quick to alert you on this ‘interesting circumstance’; it is so obvious that she did this on purpose, to the point that it makes you laugh. nonetheless, you can’t help but to go along with her hijinks. the sinner will give you a biiiig ol’ smooch, on your cheek and mouth. maybe even a hug (that’ll leave you clawing and gasping for air) as well.

:: heathcliff.

you’d have to be the one to bring him under it—maybe even pull him over.

his excuse is that he doesn’t have time for entertaining such a lovey-dovey action, and as much as he tries to convince you, it’s obvious that he’s lying. the 7th sinner, even after the events that transpired at the wuthering heights manor, heathcliff struggles with vulnerability—and especially when love and romance is involved. he’s still all messed up with █████████; he was so sure that he would never find a love like that again. and this just sounds… a bit too much. but, then again—another part of him desperately wants to feel that way. with you.

when you eventually lead him under, he stiffs up and basically becomes a statue. maybe blushing a whole lot, too. it worsens when you go for the (possibly multiple) kiss. the rest of the sinners can only watch—and laugh.

:: meursault.

it can either be him, or you. he doesn’t mind either way.

the 5th sinner is one of few words; he does what’s ordered, and remains stoic beyond anything else. this only truly changed—bit by bit—the more he traversed within and outside mephistopheles. more often than he realizes, he’s begun to do things without being ordered to, not excluding when it came to you. in fact, he’s done much more for you personally at an almost hourly rate. this is just his own way of showing his affection and love for you.

a chaste kiss is what meursault will give you, should he be the one to lead you under. short and sweet. you’re free to smother him in affection; and while there isn’t any visible reaction at first, the lightest tint of pink slowly makes itself known, on both his ears and cheeks. (and yes, rodya is on her way to tease him.)
