-At first she probably thinks you're just another of her many fans
-However, you're one of the first to actively try to get closer to her! Sure, a few other fans have tried, but most did too much ,to a point of restraining orders, or stopped after a week, usually finding a new obsession
-But not you. You stayed persistent, while respecting boundaries :)
-she revels in the attention you give her; you honestly need to be careful, before her already-over-the-top ego grows even bigger!!
-whenever she decides she needs extra attention, she'll just wait for you to come around, and goes "I'm so pretty, aren't I?" or purposefully works out in front of you, and she'll fully expect you to feed into her ego, once again (you do) (this is canon, this is basically just "pumping Iron"-)
-Eventually, you become a constant in her life, something, or rather someone, she can rely on to be there, even during the chaos of the races.
-she doesn't even realise that she looks longingly after you, when you do have to go. Starlight forbid anyone ever calls her out on it, though :p
-She really notices this, when you weren't there during a smaller race (maybe you got sick, maybe you were busy racing yourself, ect.). She finds herself visibly annoyed at the lack of attention before the race. Sure her fans were there, but it just wasn't the same. She beat up so many other trains during that race.
-When she gets back to the yard, she just sits there for a while, contemplating. because your missing presence should not affect the champion this much.
-Eventually she comes to terms with the fact that she likes you, and starts to reciprocate your affection ever so slightly. For example, if you hug her, she'll put an arm around your waist!
-It may not be much, but it's a start! she isn't used to caring this much. yet ;)
Rusty
-Poor boy is shocked.
-There are so many powerful and fast engines rolling around the yard - the champion herself is there! And yet you like him? a shunter engine?!
-Safe to say, he isn't used to the attention; it flusters him!
-Every time you as much as put a hand on his shoulder, he turns red and steam comes out of his ears! Every time you hug him, he just freezes in place, as if turned to stone! The first few times you thought the corrosion had finally eaten away at his train equivalent of a brain
-However, he'd be lying if he said that he minds; he isn't exactly used to attention, let alone kindness. Sure, the carriages are nice, but aside from Pearl, he wouldn't be surprised if it's out of pity - not to mention, that it's a nice change of pace, compared to the bullying he endures from Greaseball and her Gang
-Despite how shy he gets, he tries to reciprocate, but he usually ends up making it awkward.. He doesn't mean to, he just genuinely doesn't know what he's doing, he's not used to this level of affection!
-But you don't mind - you'd dare to call it endearing :) and that gives him some confidence, that you won't leave the moment you have a chance with one of the big shots
-He slowly starts to get used to your affection, and becomes less awkward himself! He no longer breaks at every touch! In fact, he starts to lean into your touches, finding them more comforting than anything
-Eventually, he even starts seeking you out himself, especially on days where work was exhausting, or Greaseballs gang was extra mean
-You become a sort of save space for him, someone he knows he can always turn to, someone who won't judge him for being himself
-By now, the way he looks at you has by far surpassed your own heart eyes. You may have fallen first, but he fell so much harder :)
Hydra
-Another smug one, but in a less egotistical way
-After his constant preaching about Hydrogen being the best option, it just feels good to be appreciated for once, instead of turned away!
-...even if technically isn't exactly because of that.. shhh, let the guy dream
- He really just lets you, he won't exactly reciprocate at first, but he doesn't mind! simply takes it as a compliment, and side hug you, at most
-Though conversation are bound to happen, considering how much time you spent around him; no matter if he's practicing for races, doing his job as a fuel truck, preaching about hydrogen, or simply taking a break, you are almost always around the corner
- Turns out you two actually have a lot in common, and you don't mind his passion for protecting the environment either!
-After a while, you two can usually be seen huddled together, laughing about something stupid, or simply talking about the most random things, barely ever even inches apart!
-The other freight trains definitely tease him about it; they give him teasing looks when you're together, or jokingly mimicking you two
-Just like with the previous two, it starts to be a lot weirder for you to not be there, instead of the other way around! whenever you two haven't seen each other in a bit, whether it's been a few days or just a few hours, it doesn't matter: when you see each other again, he'll be standing there expectantly, with his arms open :)
-You are definitely the person he trusts most, by now! after all, it's pretty hard to spill each others secrets while constantly around each other!
Dinah
-The girl is surprised; usually she's the Lovestruck one!
-She found your Lovestruck gaze adorable, and was honestly flattered to be the receiver of it
-While, unlike Rusty, she can still function, in spite of all your affection, she is certainly a blushy mess through and through!
-You two fit each other perfectly - once she got used to your affection, she is just as affectionate! Some would describe the two of you sickeningly sweet
-The other coaches get to hear all about you, and not as a passing comment either! No, you are the main topic of their girls (+Tassita) night, with discussions that go late into the night
-All the coaches are very supportive of you two, they're glad that Dinah is happy!
-Eventually, you two spent so much time together, that it's almost weird to see you two apart! And she couldn't say that she minds, you make great company, in her opinion :)
-It already felt great to have her love language be appreciated, but to have it reciprocated? she couldn't wish for more!
-you two are truly the perfect duo, complementing each other perfectly; according to rumours, you two are the cutest couple in the yard!
-You're the type of pair, to steal the attention from the actual race, because the cameras are busy getting all your cute moments for the fans
-If you're an engine, she definitely wants to race together, after all it's just more time for the two of you to be close! It doesn't matter if you're a top racer, or tend to hang in the back; she is as loyal as can be, she'll stick around!
-Over all, you two make the cutest couple!
My first StEx request, suuuper exited!! Hope you like it hehe <33
Ngl Hydras Part ended up kinda short, had a black out for him, for some reason :,)
Anywaysss, Feedback is welcome, just be nice, please!!
Stex character's with a S/O who has a really thick accent and some characters can't really understand what they're saying
Note: Electra uses all pronouns, Fem!Greaseball
RUSTY
I feel like Rusty would be your personal translator in a sorts (If you're okay with it)
If he sees someone really struggling to understand what you're saying he'll step in and translate it for them.
Like the scene from Hot fuzz.
But that doesn't mean that there hasn't been times where he has misunderstood what you've said or completely didn't understand.
He would feel a little guilty though, if he sees your annoyance rise a little or you're just completely used to it.
So make sure to pepper him in kisses, he'll cheer up a little and pepper you back.
But he'll say he understands your frustration or he'll say it's okay to be a bit annoyed.
Also, I think he'd find your accent sweet and listen intensely if you spoke in your mothering tongue, even if he doesn't know what you're saying.
GREASEBALL
I think Greaseball would be understanding in her own greaseball way.
Like she'd make a little snide comment on it but the second someone says something remotely mean about her partner's accent,
She'd get her gang over there in lightning speed and tell them to lead you away to your shared shed so she could 'deal' with it.
If you're shy and don't want to bother someone by correcting them or too frustrated to do anything,
She will save the day by saying something like, "They said (whatever thingy you said) not (what someone misheard you say), try listening a little better next time." Then she'll roll her eyes, wrap a hand around your waist then skate away with you in tow.
But like Rusty, she'd also have her moments of misunderstanding.
I think GB would get a bit fussy and thus cause you two having a bit of a rowl.
But you'd make up (Or make out/j) with eachother, and she'll apologise, in her own way obv.
ELECTRA
For the electric diva, I think they'd find your accent a little endearing.
Like he'd love compliments/romantic terms in your original language.
If she were to see or one of the components told her that someone was troubling you and you were struggling to stick up for yourself,
He and the components would come and whisk you away while they'd give the person a glare (And maybe a little shock) before skating away.
But if it was solely him coming to save you, then I'd think he'd go. "Hey, baby, how about we go back to our shed? I'm sure this one has used up quite a lot of your time." Then he'd skate away with you, with a little smirk on his face.
They'd tell killerwatt/Krupp and Purse to keep an eye on you and make sure you don't get into a situation like that again without someone being able to rescue you.
Of course, there would be times where she would misunderstand what you say and then (Much like greaseball's version) lead into a rowl and make her storm out of the shed.
But after a bit of pep talk from the components and letting there be time for you to cool off, he'd come back and apologise and comfort you.
I also think if they were a bit pissed, that you'd be able to soothe them with your home language.
Plot twist I'm asking for the Bochum Engines this time. (Just for some variety) The first time racing with them, as their S/O on top of that. The world finds out that coach/truck/ freight reader is dating a champion racer on their first race together.
(As always you don't have to do all of them)
😘❤️❤️❣️
You know what? It might be a lot, but just because I haven’t done anything like the internationals yet I’m still doing all of them. Call me stupid, but I feel like it.
This took so long and I’m very sorry. I’ve been going through a lot lately and even though I love Stex I’ve also fallen a bit out of the fandom, but I’ll most likely still accept requests. They will remain closed for now. I did see a show in London lately and it reignited the feeling to get back to writing so yaaaay :] it was amazing and shout out to my friend for getting me a ticket and being so amazingly sweet for it <3
Also I was fighting demons to try and make all of these somewhat different from one another-
---
Coco
This is one of the proudest women in the fucking world. So the fact that you’re behind her makes her even more insufferable in that regard. To the others that is, she cannot stop bragging- That’s just a plus for you though
She has no doubt in her mind that she’ll win together with you. You’re perfect for her after all so there is no way that you will slow her down in any way. You two will win together and you will celebrate with each other’s company in the end
This might be the first time riding with you, but the two of you know each other so well by now that she knows, not thinks, knows that it will go perfectly.
Then you have the others finding out about you being Coco’s S/O. They’re actually shocked, what do you mean Coco has a partner? And one she debuts during a race?!...
Actually that’s very in character for her and the moment the others realize this, they all just kind of. Deadpan? I think that’s the best way of saying it. They do congratulate you and her for being together.
The only one who has a problem with it is Bobo. Because how dare his sister not tell him that she has a partner?! He’ll act super obnoxious and dramatic about this fact. Coco just tells you to ignore him.
In the end Coco is just proud of you for being behind her and supporting her like that. She’s so immensely happy that she could show you off like that. Especially because she knows her partner will be the spotlight in every single room.
No, you cannot convince her otherwise. Don’t even try, she might just show you off anymore. Or do if you like being paraded around and the attention you’ll get.
Bobo
“FINALLY!” Yeah no he’s been waiting for a long time for the next race or in general the fact he could race with you behind him. He absolutely loves the fact he can show you off and is literally no better than Coco, even though he’d like to try and deny it often.
He’s making sure everything is absolutely perfect for this and the moment the announcement comes in calling out your and Bobo’s names, he takes all the applause and points at you to get the audience to clap for you as well.
Nobody is surprised that Bobo has a S/O because he literally will not shut the fuck up about you. He absolutely loves talking about you, showing you off, reminding everyone you exist that the moment he shows you off it’s kind of a long time coming.
Coco just greets you after the race, as she’s seen you before and has to hear Bobo constantly talk about you. Please save her, she’s sick and tired. She wishes to talk about literally anything else, even though you’re wonderful.
Either way he’s honestly at his best when you’re behind him, easily swerving and going through the motions of the race. Before you know it, it’s the end of the race and the two of you did amazing as expected.
He will shower you in attention afterwards and is just so happy that you would race with him. Careful though if you’re not much of a racer, he’ll just kind of look at you with batting eyelashes until you’re ready to do it again as he loves racing with you.
Bobo would never push you into doing what you don’t want to do, but he is a bit of a whiny baby about it, trust me.
Espresso
Will absolutely attack you in kisses the moment you want to race together with him. Oh he would be so incredibly happy and honored and he could just eat you, you’re so cute.
You’d think he’d not be able to be more extravagant with his acts of love and such things like that, and yet here he is making himself shine even more than he usually does, just to look perfect for you when he races with you
Please ask him to do your makeup for the race, trust me he’ll love it so much. He’ll make sure to put extra details in there to make you so beautiful that you’ll definitely take the breath of the audience away.
At this point the competition needs sunglasses with how shiny and bright the two of you are. Which honestly would work in your favor so don’t change anything no matter what anyone says.
I will say that I feel Electra in the background would be so offended that you two are more shiny than his LEDs and like that’s funny so continue to rub it in, it’ll be funny.
With Espresso people finding out about the relationship is the same exact thing as with Bobo: Nobody is surprised. Like at all. He constantly gushes about your beauty and your shared interests and how cute you are when talking about interests he doesn’t understand for a moment.
Doesn’t stop him from continuing to show you off, his talks about you now finally being able to be viewed by every and all trains in the yard as well as the audience. He’s so proud to call you his and he’ll continue to show it off.
Ruhrgold
Super honored, but does give you a bit of a warning with how dangerous it is to race. Especially after last year when he almost was thrown off the railing by Greaseball and absolutely beaten, he’s very hesitant to let his S/O do anything honestly.
After a lot of convincing and ensuring that you’ll be okay, he does agree in the end. He does love the idea of having you behind him, it makes his day even. Be prepared to be very protected though, because he won’t let anyone touch you before, during and after the race.
People are actually quite shocked about the fact that Ruhrgold has a partner. Everyone would just be surprised as he does seem the one to be open enough to share he has one, but honestly it would just be things slipping his mind as other things are more important to talk about at that moment or other understandable reasons.
Honestly they’d love to meet you though! I think it’s the only proper introduction you’re going to get in this line up honestly. He introduces you to all the engines, kind of blocking you still in case someone thinks they can snatch you away cough GREASEBALL AND ELECTRA COUGH COUGH.
In the end though he enjoys the race with you. After realizing that you won’t just go down by a little hit he feels a lot better and does his best with you behind him. He’s incredibly proud of you and although he won’t know how to properly say it, he’ll definitely show you how proud he is!
Manga
Very honored that you would want to ride with him. The moment he asked he played it cool, but you could see a spark in his eyes light up as he agreed to race with you.
Will be extremely humble about it and honestly would talk to you about how you would like to be treated during all of this. Would you just like to join him behind him and enjoy the moment like the normal races go? Would you like him to go a bit out of his way to show you off?
The moment the two of you come out, he’ll stick to what you two discussed. He’s polite like that. Although you can practically see him beaming for you to be behind him as the two of you get announced.
I don’t think people are surprised by the fact that he is together with someone. Manga is pretty mysterious and so people don’t know much about his private life, because of this they know to not expect anything, but also not to cross anything off.
Either way everyone is rather nice to you. Outside of the race that is, we all know how crazy the races can get… and do get.
Manga truly enjoys racing together with you and is just happy that you two participated. As long as you two are safe and have fun, that’s all he really cares about. Obviously he’ll do his best, but he won’t throw a tantrum if he loses.
He’s just happy he didn’t crash this time-
Turnov
Honestly a bit unsure, after all if you look at just how crazy and intense the races are, you’d understand why he wouldn’t be too happy to just thrust you into that position. After all, if you're a threat, people will want to get rid of you.
After a bit of back and forth he does eventually cave and let you race behind him. Be warned though, if someone even slightly touches you he’s throwing hands. This man will fight for your honor, do not test him.
Honestly I think people would be surprised to see him together with someone. He isn’t really the person to be showing off, so for him to like let the entire world see his partner behind him in the race? It’s shocking to say the least.
The two of you absolutely kill it in the race. As you two are completely in sync as well as a power couple. You won’t let people get in cheap shots and Turnov would rather crash than let anybody touch you.
In the end he shows you off a bit, proud of you. After that he needs to recharge though, instead of celebrating he’ll grab you and have a night in. Enjoying your company.
He’s really sweet, but rather quiet when it comes to post race stuff. He needs to regain his energy and so he makes sure to just take it easy with you so he can properly celebrate with you.
Brexit
Man’s so happy that he can finally race and he gets to race with you? Double win for him. After all the last time he tried to race he kind of had to drop out so the fact he gets to actually do this now.
Oh how he’ll talk non stop about how he’s super excited to race with you. It’s just so thrilling, the races, with other worthy opponents and with you behind him. He can picture it so clearly already.
The moment the race is on and the two of you get announced I feel most engines are rather shocked at the sight of Brexit together with anyone, but they get over it quickly as they decide to just focus on the race.
Both of you work together rather perfectly and smoothly, but due to the way the race goes you guys don’t particularly win.
Brexit does not really give a shit though, he was just happy to have raced with you. Normally he cares a lot more about winning and yet he can’t seem to give himself a shit when he’s with you.
He celebrates the race with you either way, winning or losing. He’s just happy you’ve had your first race together and can’t be more proud of you and himself. Expect him to spoil you a bit after everything
Electra
It wasn’t a given that you were going to race with them?- Well. Eh. You’re racing with him, I don’t think you have much of a choice with this diva.
She wants to win, but also looks pretty. You’re her partner so you’d work perfectly with them and you’re fucking eye candy come on you’re racing with him, get your ass in gear.
The first time officially racing with them is still something rather special though. So he makes sure to be extra shiny and such to make sure you are completely pampered before the first race you two will go into together.
Not going to lie the components really pamper you as well and it’s almost like you’re going to prom more than going to your first race with Electra, not that you’re complaining though.
The moment you step out together with them the only shock that comes to everyone, is how Electra pulled another component out of his ass- They truly think you’re one of the components at first and that he had you be home for some reason.
Electra is almost offended, but then again the idea of you as his component rings absolutely right in her ears. Either way she didn’t bother with the other engines and is just set on winning.
The race is everything he wants it to be. Both flashy and fast. Electra is absolutely happy with the end of it and decides to immediately pull his entourage behind him together with you to celebrate. He doesn’t even bother with interviews this time, aren’t you a lucky carriage?
Greaseball
Oh you know that he would love for you to be behind him while he races. I feel if you’re the one to ask he’d like practically spit out anything he was drinking and then try to keep it cool.
Either way he’d be like practically waiting for you to race behind him. We all know how much he likes showing off his partners. Especially in something as flashy as the races.
Why didn’t he ask himself? Well he has a pride and reputation to uphold and since he’s seen as the whole heartbreaker he waited for you to ask. As well as he totally didn’t want to accidentally force you- what Greaseball being thoughtful? Unheard of.
Either way he’s happy to finally have you behind him for the race. He’d probably be even more pleased if you end up matching colors with him, oh he’d be almost on his knees. Figuratively of course, can’t have people thinking he’s a simp.
As for people finding out. People are honestly really baffled. Everyone was thinking that he was dating Dinah- Since when? What? Hah? They’re confused to say the least. A shock factor that might help in the race.
Then for Greaseball he’s extremely proud to be showing off as the one behind him in the race. Like look at his amazing partner, they look so amazing and you’re gonna look even better when he wins the race.
After the race he decides to spin you around while picking you up and carry you to a celebration together. The two of you deserved it and nobody will tell him otherwise.
Rusty
He’d be so excited and happy! He’s someone’s first pick? Oh he’s so happy, he lets out a few whistles of happiness and says that he won’t let you down. He’s not about to show that you shouldn’t race with him again, he’s going to show you made the right choice.
He’ll even try to shine himself up as much as he can so you just have a partner you can be proud of being behind. What he doesn’t realize is that you’d love him either way, he doesn’t have to do good in the race for you to enjoy yourself.
When you come out with him I think people would actually be a lot more respectful due to the last race, so they won’t like to harass you for being with a rusty steamer. You can't help to see some side glances and hear some under their breath comments, you don’t pay attention to them though.
Honestly with you behind him I think Rusty kind of crushes the competition, he’s just so set on proving to you he’s good to race behind, as well as so happy that you are behind him. In the end he’s just like “See? Told you that you wouldn’t regret your decision.”
Just hit him with a “I would’ve never regretted it, even if we lost Rusty.” And he’d be all blushy and cute. He’ll definitely celebrate his win with you and doesn’t really care for all the official victory laps and such things like that.
Hiii!! :3 Could you pretty pretty please write some love at first sight/first meeting stuff with Electra, (Fem) greaseball, and Rusty? ((Absolutely love your writing btw It's fire!!))
what a cute rq, and thank you for your kind words!! Im still open for stex x reader requests 💕
Electra meets you and feels a chill run down their spine, a spike of electricity - but one they’re totally unused to. Something about you is addictive to them. Maybe it’s your soft mannerisms, so unlike their own which are so pointed and swift. Maybe it’s the way you’re so excited to race with them. Maybe it’s something new and wonderful they can’t put their finger on exactly… all they know is that after your first meeting, they want to have you around them constantly. If they can’t be there, there’s always a component at your side to act as security. They’ve never felt like this before… your safety and happiness is their top priority.
Greaseball spots you from across the yard and immediately goes heart-eyes mode. She rolls up in front of you, pushing the rest of the engines and coaches out of the way, and starts showing off how strong she is. If her show of strength works and you giggle with delight, she feels herself melt a bit at the sound of your laughter and wants to hear it over and over again. She’ll do whatever it takes. If you’re not impressed she wracks her brains for ways to make you like her back… she probably has to workshop some ideas with her friends because she has no idea what to do if her muscles don’t win you over! Either way, she’s totally smitten.
Rusty is so totally bowled over by your appearance at the station. He thinks you’re just wonderful and is totally sweet on you from the beginning, always offering to show you around or volunteer to help if you need anything. He can’t stop thinking about you all day after your first meeting and is so swept up in his daydreams he accidentally crashes into the coaches (who tease him mercilessly about it) but they’re all in his corner in trying to ascertain whether you fancy him back… which you definitely do! It’ll only be a matter of time until the two of you are official, everyone’s sure of it.
-Refuses to be the small spoon, thinks it would make her seem weak
-Likes to just hold you, really. Her personal favourite is the two of you laying down somewhere, you laying on her chest with her arms around you! Basic, but good :) plus, this way she gets to use you as a weighted blanket; something she didn't know she needed
-Falls asleep pretty fast. The moment you two lay/sit down, and you're comfortably in her arms, she's out like a light.
-She always claims that she's just tired after a day of hard work, but really she finds cuddling with you oddly comforting, like she can just escape her busy schedule for a bit
-Has a death grip on you, once she's asleep, you aren't going anywhere. I also believe her to be a deep sleeper, so waking her up isn't easy either (she'd also be moody if woken up)
-Despite that, if you do manage to escape her grip, for whatever reason, she is up within the minute, and she is not happy. Will hunt you down, especially if it's already late out, and drag you back to your cuddle spot, probably while grumbling something incohesive
-Another type of cuddle she likes is to just come up behind you randomly throughout the day, wrap her arms around you, and not let go till she has to go back to work
-Doesn't care if you're in a conversation with someone, you're her partner! She doesn't even pretend to care about the conversation; if the other person asks what she's doing or tries to include her in the conversation, she will just stare them down
-You'd have to be the one to tell her you don't want to cuddle at the moment, she'd act annoyed and grumble about it, but ultimately respect your wishes
--she just really enjoys holding you, it makes her feel like your protector :)
Electra
-While they're more reserved in public, in private they're as affectionate as can be!
-Always has to be touching you in some way when it's just you two, or when the only ones around are their components, so they're always happy to cuddle
-While they don't mind being the little spoon, they prefer to be the big spoon - they enjoy holding you a lot, it makes them feel important. It also shows them that you have a certain level of trust in them :)
-I don't think they're the type to fall asleep while cuddling, they much prefer to give their attention to you; talking about nothing in specific, maybe discussing the newest gossip, simply relaxing in each others arms..
-Don't worry about falling asleep yourself, though! again, to them it simply shows how much trust you have in them! They also adore how peaceful you look asleep - simply adorable in their opinion
-They'd admire your sleeping form, perhaps run a hand through your hair.. and while they won't fall asleep themself, they'll use the moment to relax a bit, closing their eyes and just enjoying the peace and quiet - which seems to be something very rare in this chaos of a yard
-Starlight forbid someone tries to wake you up, though. They already hate it when others interrupt you two - but if they might wake you? Nothing a small electric shock, of varying strength depending on who it is, and a mean glare, can't fix though
-The only time they'll fall asleep while cuddling, is if you're cuddling at night, and even then they're probably awake before you. Chances are, you won't ever see them sleep, unless you got a very messed up sleep schedule or get up before the crack of dawn
-If you're okay with it, the components may occasionally join your little cuddle sessions! Usually after a especially rough day, could range from just one or two, to all of you creating a straight up cuddle pile. But if you want it to just be you and Electra, they completely respect that
-The amount of cuddles would increase in the winter - especially if you aren't a electric, and therefore naturally produce warmth! Electrics don't produce any heat, so the winter is even crueler to them, than it is already are to everyone else; and cuddling, especially somewhere cozy, just happens to be a very nice way to warm up :)
-If you're a steam engine, or in other words literally run on fire, they would just not let go of you in the winter
Dinah
-Literally the sweetest, will take any chance she can get to be affectionate with you!
-Another one that doesn't care whether she is the little or the big spoon, though she is more used to being the little spoon
-I would recommend letting her, at least occasionally, be the big spoon, though! especially after a rough day, her hold is really comforting!
-But no matter how you two are cuddled up, it is always a really soft and sweet moment; you two are usually talking about whatever comes to mind - anything from a deep discussion about the state of the world, to planning your next date, nothings off the table :)
-While she claims not to have a favourite cuddle position, she adores it whenever you two are cuddled up on the couch, with a warm drink in hand, and her head on your shoulder. Bonus points if it's in the winter, and you two are quietly watching the snow fall
-doesn't really care if anyone walked in on you two cuddling, she's very open about her affection for you, and she would love it if you are two!
- She's the type to randomly just stare at you while cuddling, with nothing but love in her eyes - if you ask her why, she'll simply say that she's wondering how she got so lucky :)
-She would also randomly attack you with kisses - a bunch of small pecks wherever she can reach, before finishing with a final peck on the lips, and giggling about it; especially if you blush because of it, she loves making you blush!
-However, if you respond in kind she'll be redder than her hair! ;)
-One of her dream dates would be the two of you watching stars together, while cuddling on a picnic blanket! Maybe you were watching the sunset together beforehand, maybe as a spontaneous idea.. all she really cares about is your time together
-If you're a racer, she'll give you a hug before and after every race, that lasts long enough to might as well be considered cuddling! If you actually win a race, or even just place on the podium, she'll almost tackle you in the excitement!
Rusty
- All you could ever wish for in the winter, and your worst nightmare in the summer
-Seriously, Steam engines run hot! it would be like sleeping right next to the fire place, or cuddling with a living, really warm, heating pad
-You'd probably end up still cuddling in the summer, because he loves being close to you, but it would be more you holding onto his arm - he wants to get closer, but understands you not wanting to overheat
-...also the first few nights, during your first summer together, he probably thought he did something to upset you, and that's why you don't want to cuddle, and you just couldn't stand that sad look of his
-It's a whole different story during winter, though! You'd probably be the one holding onto him all day! and he wouldn't mind at all, were it not for work
-But the moment he's off the clock, he's speeding directly into your arms :)
- You guys would end up in all kinds of different cuddle positions, all your limbs usually tangled by the end of it
-I don't think he has a favourite position, nor does he care about being the big or the little spoon, he just wants to be as close as possible to you. He isn't exactly used to being this loved, so he'll take anything he can get
-continuing with my last point, when you guys cuddled for the first time, he was really awkward. He didn't know where to put his limbs, or how he should hold you - or if he should hold you at all!
-you'd have to have given him a lot of pointers, and take charge of getting comfortable for the first few times you guys cuddled. After he got the hang of it, though? Absolute cuddle bug, he never wants to let go of you
-If you cuddle at night, getting up in the morning would be really hard for him. Why should he get up and go to work, when he can stay here, cuddled up to you? He contemplates calling in sick every time
-Similarly, getting home from work and falling into your arms is like a reward, one that he looks forward to every day!
--He really just loves being close to you!
Hope you enjoyed!! I definitely enjoyed writing it :)
Feedback is always welcome, just pls be nice about it
Take care of yourself and have a lovely night/day <3
Ok I am now obsessed with your work and I absolutely love it.😍
Ok gan I request a headcanon or one shot (or a mix of both) for Greaseball, Electra, Rusty, Dinah, and Pearl about the first time they kissed or were kissed by there partner. I just need the cute fluff from them right now because London 2024 Starlight Express has me in a choke hold right now.
THANK YOU~❣️💋
Milestones
Thanks for the kind words!! <33 And same, I’m absolutely obsessed with StEx at the moment!!
I did a few headcanons and then a blurb to kinda mix the two together :)
I do have have a four character limit, so I didn’t do pearl, I’m sorry :(
-It was a spur of the moment thing, most likely after a winning a race together
-One moment you're relishing in the applause and celebrating your victory, the next there's suddenly a pair of Lips on yours
-I feel like she'd kiss you first, mostly because she wouldn't hesitate to. If she wants to kiss you, and you don't say no, she's gonna kiss you - who cares who's watching, or that it's your first kiss!
-I don't think she'd wait that long to kiss you, maybe a few weeks into your relationship, at most a month
-I'd say she's a pretty good kisser, seeing how the show makes her seem like a bit of player, so I do think she has at least some experience
-A bit rough, but honestly really passionate! As nonchalant as she may act at times, she truly does care about you about you, and it shines through in moments like this
-Definitely not a short kiss - not quite making out, but it does last longer than just a few seconds
-Despite all her big talk, she's smiling like an idiot after, and there's a slight blush coating her cheeks
The audience erupts into cheers and applause, as the two of you cross the finish Line. but what else did you expect, when racing with the champion? The two of you come to a stop, as you take it all in, looking around at all people celebrating you two, not noticing Greaseball looking at you instead. Before you even realise it, there is suddenly a pair of hands on your hips, and the Engine you've come to love mere inches from your face. When you don't pull away, or look uncomfortable, she goes for it, and finally kisses you! Her lips were a bit rough, and perhaps a bit callous - she never did seem like one for skincare. But in that moment you didn't care, because as imperfect as either of you may be, this moment was all you could ever dream of. And despite the cheers only growing louder, as you close your eyes and wrap your arms around her, everything else seems to just disappear.
Electra
-I feel like it could be either of you initiating the first kiss, really just depends on how forward of a person you are
-I mentioned in a previous post, that I think of Electra as more of a private person, so it probably happened while cuddling, a stay in date, or while somewhere where no one else is (Like while stargazing on an empty field, or taking a walk (a skate?) through a less travelled by area!
-I don't think that they wait a specific amount of time for the first kiss, instead just waiting for the right moment, so it could take anything from 2 weeks to 2 months till it happens
-While they are a at least a decent kisser, i actually don't think they have much experience (unless you view them and the components as a polycule ofc), and that inexperience does shine through a bit
-It would be a soft kiss, them being slightly hesitant, but a very loving one
-as for how long the kiss lasts, that's entirely on you - they're not pulling away until you are :)
-Bit of a basic headcanon, but they might accidentally shock you while kissing; not the type to actually hurt you, it just makes you feel a bit tingly for a moment! It's a good thing, though, that's them letting their guard down around you
It's a quiet night, for once, with you and Electra cuddled up on the couch. Only starlight knows where the components ran off to, and even the freight crew seemed to be asleep for once, and Electra couldn't imagine something more blissful. Their eyes wandered from the window to you, laying on their shoulder, in peaceful silence. They always find you beautiful, but today the light seemed to fall on you perfectly, making you seemingly glow. "what?" you question with a soft smile, now staring back at them. They open their mouth to answer, but instead their eyes wander to your lips, and before they realise it, they kiss you. It is as gentle as the night, and if they could, they'd make this moment last forever
Rusty
-you'd definitely have to be the one to initiate, even if he wants to, he'd get to flustered and chicken out
-That also means you're in charge of how long into you're relationship until the kiss! Tough I don't think he's the type to rush things, so maybe wait at least a few weeks ;)
-Most likely while out on a date - I can see you two on a spontaneous date, stargazing somewhere (can you tell that i like stargazing?), and he's rambling on about constellations and maybe the starlight express, while you're just thinking about how pretty he looks in the moonlight, before you simply decide to kiss him
-He'd be so shocked at first, he completely freezes for a moment. He has no idea what to do.
-I don't think he has much experience. Honestly? You're probably his first kiss ever, so even after finally realising that he should probably kiss you back, he'd still be a bit awkward - He's absolutely giving it his all, tough :)
-There is so much love in this one kiss, it's unbelievable! While he may not know what he's doing, it's still a very soft kiss
-He'd be blushing like Crazy after, and is more likely than not to flustered to look you in the eyes, it's cute, really
Both of you had looked forward to this day for a while now: you're shared day off! You've just been running around the yard together, doing whatever came to mind; neither of you had planned anything specific. And now, to end the day, the two of you had settled on a patch of grass, near the tracks, watching the stars!... Or rather, you're meant to be looking at the stars, but instead your eyes settled on the Steamer next to you. On your Steamer. He was talking about one of the constellations, tough you've stopped listening to the specifics a while ago. Not because you don't want to, but rather because it's hard to focus with how sweet he looks when exited. He eventually halts his talking, when he finally notices you staring at him, as a light blush appears on his cheeks, followed by a nervous smile - but before he can question you're gaze, you're lips are on his, and he freezes. He's tought about what your first kiss would be like quite a few times now, planned his reaction even, and yet it's as if he's forgotten every though he ever had. He smiles as he eases into the kiss, sure it might not be perfect, but it's better than everything he#s ever dreamed off.
Dinah
-Another one where it could be either of you
-if she's the one to initiate, she probably wouldn't wait all that long, but would want to do it during a particularly sweet moment
-I can imagine you two baking or cooking together (or her baking/cooking while you occasionally help, if you don't like baking/cooking) and it ends in a small flour fight, and that somehow ends in you two kissing (I think in this one you'd be the one initiating)
-Or, referencing a previous post of mine, you doing well in a race and while celebrating together (or rather her tackling you immediately after), with everything just feeling perfect, when one of you finally makes the move (In this one it would probably be her initiating)
-I do think that she has some experience, not a crazy lot, but a bit, she knows what she's doing
-The kiss is as energetic as her, with as much love as a train can give! It's still sweet sweet, not the most gentle, but definitely sweet
-she'd be giggling after, with her forehead against you, all the stereotypical sweet stuff, and if it's in a more private setting, she'd steal a second kiss a few seconds after, if you let her :)
With a local festival coming up, Dinah had volunteered to bake cupcakes, and as her loving partner, she invited you over to help! You had the shed to yourself, the other coaches all being busy with preparations themselves. It started out as any other time, laying out the ingredients, the occasional laugh, pre-heating the oven, before ending in the unavoidable flour fight. And now here you are, covered on flour, giggling, while simply enjoying each others presence. Though you can't help but just admire her for a second, the way the white flour looks almost like highlights in her hair, the wide smile on her face, as her laugh echos around the room. As you move to ruffle some flour out of her hair, your eyes wander to her lips, and after one quick look to wordlessly ask for consent, your lips are on hers, the cupcakes completely forgotten
Thanks again for the request!! It was super fun to write, and thank you for all the support haha <33
