heyy im not sure if you still do headcanons or not, but it'd be cute if you could write how flashy flash would deal with the reader when they're crying/upset!❤️
(If you're unable to, it's perfectly fine)
Flashy flash when you’re upset
genre; uh, is this considered hurt/comfort?, hc
pairing; Flashy flash x reader
Side note; thank you for this request, actually, I needed an excuse to write this 🙏
Flashy flash is frankly ass with emotions
that doesn’t mean he won’t put a little effort for someone he cares about though
If you’re visbily upset and he catches on, he’ll be very upfront and bluntly asks you what’s wrong
If you decide to tell him what’s wrong, he’ll patiently listen to you then he’ll just… stare at you silently for a bit with furrowed brows.
its slightly unnerving but bear with him, he’s evaluating what to do/say
The next bit depends on you personally,
He’ll attempt to comfort you depending on how you personally like to be consoled,
he’ll give you a hug, or buy you food, kiss you, give you a few awkward pats, sit with you until you feel better (unless he has something important to attend to. He’ll finish it in a flash then come right back, though)
if you want him to give you advice… don’t ❤️
He tries his best but his advice is rather… ignorant, if you will.
He simply doesn’t understand normal people issues so he might say something to the equivalent of “Just don’t be sad.” “Just ignore it.” “You’re being a bit dramatic.”
But even he’s aware of his incompetence when it comes to these things so he’ll try his best to keep his thoughts to himself.
If you don’t tell him what’s wrong and give him an abrupt “I’m fine.”, again, he’ll stare at you with a frown then go
”…okay.” Before going back to whatever he was doing.
He’ll check on you later, and won’t bring up the matter if your demeanor is back to normal. But if he senses that you’re still agitated, he’ll start pressing on about whats bothering you.
If you still don’t tell him he’ll get a bit frustrated, but will collect himself and will get you some of your favorite food/drink to subtly make you feel better.
zip-zap, a gust of wind and he’s holding up a bag of your favorite delicacies before you.
Now in the scenario that he catches you crying, his reaction would be stiffer but inwardly frantic.
again, ASS AT EMOTIONS
I don’t think this man even knew that communication was a thing before getting into a relationship, unless its about communicating where his next hero assignment is, maybe.
“Hey, what’s wrong?!” Typical.
He’ll fetch you a box of tissues and tenderly hold you until you’re able to collect yourself.
He is going to be bothered if you get snot on him, but doesn’t say anything about it of course. Not the time nor place.
Again, will let you rant about what’s bothering you without interjecting, maybe a few questions and comments here and there.
”Honestly. That’s not worth your tears. You’re above that.”
He does NOT like seeing you hurt, it bothers him a lot because it feels like he had failed you somehow, even if the reason was inevitable and wasn’t remotely his fault.
That being said, he’ll try his best to prevent whatever (or whoever) is bothering you from happening again, but he’ll do it in a kind of, ‘behind the scenes’, type of way, yk?
Now, if you don’t tell him what’s wrong, he gets more frustrated. How can he possibly help you if he doesn’t know what’s going on? Especially if you’re this affected by it?
Once you’ve relatively calmed down, he will really try to push you to talk to him, in an almost overbearing sense.
He’s read the concept of “some people just need to be comforted, not to have you fix their problems.” before, I mean, that’s how he’s been able to do all this, but he just doesn’t understand.
He felt useless, honestly, not being able to help you.
Maybe one day he’ll finally come to truly understand that him just being there and trying his best, even when it’s challenging for him, is helping his partner enough.
I digress, if he feels like now he’s being troublesome to you by his insistence, he’ll stop and then focus on making you feel better, even if it still bothers him a bit.
I should preface this by saying; he’s stiff in every single bullet point. He’s not TOO stiff, but he’s a little rigid nonetheless.
This is simply new to him.
still, stiff or not, handles you very gently and fondly
Also, when he does succeed in making you feel better, it WILL boost his ego. Very prideful man, naturally becomes more prideful at any new accomplishment. Especially when it comes to you. A bit of humbling is necessary.
Small add-on: This is based on the scenario that he’s been in this relationship (platonic or romantic, or even something else) for quite some time and is putting in the effort to become a better significant other. I don’t believe this would come purely natural from him but instead from a place of extreme care for the (emotional) wellness and satisfaction of the other party.
"This is totally unrelated, but could you tell me that bedtime story again about the Ripper of Monterey? Just. So I can-" She's got a pen and a notepad out.
"Just in case I forgot some details."
"It isn't bedtime though," Klaus chewed on his lip, considering the request. Mid afternoon on a Thursday was hardly the atmosphere for such a tale.
"And you haven't allowed me to tell you one in years." Now suspicion laced his voice, brow furrowed as he eyed his daughter.
❛ let me get closer, i have a hell inside of me where your demon can live. ❜
He stared down at her, any closer and their faces would be touching. She was shaking, but she still held his gaze with fury. The body of the man who tried to hurt her on the floor. Johan had killed him, killed him so she wouldn’t have too. She didn’t want him to die though, she could have handled it! She was just about to knock him out!
“S-stop…” She started quietly, shaking with rage. “Stop protecting me like this!” She pushed him away. Tears of frustration fell from her eyes. “You taking on the burden of everything bad that happens to me is exactly how people get killed!” She grabbed him by the collar and yanked him down. Her hair fell in front of her eyes with the harsh movement. “I don’t want your help! I can protect myself! He didn’t have to die!”
She breathed in and out for several moments, finding her brother wasn’t reacting to her. He looked down at her with haunted eyes, realizing how deeply he disappointed her. She gulped and looked down. All at once the anger left her body, she felt like he took a screw and twisted it into her heart. She hated seeing him like this. Seeing how human he still was, sometimes she wondered why… why couldn’t he be an unfeeling monster she could just get rightfully angry at?
She leaned forward and put her hand and fist to his chest. “God damn you.” But there was no anger behind it, just sadness. She sighed. “Please…. just, don’t do that again. Don’t kill for me again.”
“Are you here to kill me, or talk?” Darius says, not turning from the map he is focused on.
"To talk. More specifically, to ask how a ship belonging to the Fourteenth is in my system and not full of sores and other unpleasant things." Elspeth folded her arms. "So, what exactly are you doing here?"
❛ i once imagined you loved me a little bit, if you’ll excuse the presumption. ❜
“Johan…” Nina put the phone down slightly, not enough to end the call but enough so that he knew he was the center of her attention and so the person on the other end wouldn’t hear anything. “I love you… know this… but I can’t stay here forever.”
He was probably confused, of course, he would be. His form of love did not work in the way Nina’s did. It didn’t work in the way anyone else’s did. And it was from this confusion that he felt an intense, but cold rage, directed at her. Nina could feel it in the way it chilled her bones.
“I love you, Johan… Johan look at me.” She reached out to him. He flinched away from it. “You’ll always be a part of my life, Johan… It doesn’t matter who I end up with, you will always be the most important thing to me.” Her hand reached him, caressing his cold cheek.
“What did you expect to happen? That I would never find someone? That I would just live with only you forever? That I didn’t want a family?” Nina immediately regretted that last part, especially the way it came out. He was her family, the only family she had left. But Nina wanted more. She wanted a simple life after all the chaos she endured. She wanted a husband and children. She wanted the same for him, but what he was insinuating was crazy.
Almost like the thoughts of a child, but corrupted. Did he just want to be with her and stay that way for the rest of his life? He had to want more… right?
“Johan I didn’t mean it li-“ He yanked the phone out of her hand and spoke to her boyfriend with a calmness that was completely opposed to how he had spoken before. It didn’t reach his eyes. He asked him where he was and if he wanted to come over, right now. After a couple of nods on Johan’s end and the call was over. Johan straightened out and put the phone down.
At first, Nina was too shocked to react or think. Then she realized.
Her eyes went wide with horror, Johan turned his back toward her and left the room. Nina followed. “Johan! Johan! Wait!” She grabbed his black sweater, shaking.
“J-Johan… please… please don’t hurt him. If you’re mad at me take it out on me! Don’t hurt my boyfriend please!”
Elspeth sighed, hanging upside down and tangled awkwardly in a mess of cables as she looked at her brother with the most "done" expression a person could give. "The gangway gave out and I got stuck," She explained. "Now please get me down. I look like a trussed up boar."
