Can I request something (oneshot, imagine, headcannon, whatever you can do) of Hassel from ScarVio with a reader who's scared of loud sudden noises? (You know, fireworks, balloons, thunder, etc).
Thanks!
Hiii I hope this is okay! This is the first time I’ve written for Hassel!
You’re afraid of loud noises; thunder, fireworks, balloons popping, all of it. While some of it you can’t get away from, such as thunder, there were times you could get away from it, like now, when there are planned events with fireworks at the end. You had heard about a festival in which there were going to be fireworks involved, so you knew you had to leave for the night, but to where? Well, none other than your boyfriend’s house!
“I’m sure he won’t mind.” You said aloud as you were packing up a bag for the night. Your Lycanroc only nodded as they helped you grab a few things you were missing.
“Oh, thank you, buddy.” You pat their head and grabbed your bag, putting it on your shoulders before walking outside with your Pokemon hot on your heels.
“Sorry, buddy, but I’m going to have to put you back in your pokeball for now.” Lycanroc pouts a little, but nodded in understanding as you returned them to their ultra ball.
As you were locking up the house, you called a taxi to bring you to your boyfriend’s house. As you were leaving, you decided to call up Hassel.
“Hello?” He answered after a couple rings.
“Hassel! Hello!” You responded with a smile on your face.
“Oh! Hello, my dear. Is there something you wanted to talk about?”
“Yeah, actually, I wanted to tell you that… I’m on my way over to your place.”
“Oh? Did something happen?”
“Oh, no, nothing major, just there’s a festival by my house that will have fireworks and… you know how I am.”
“I am aware. Well, don’t you worry, I’ll be waiting for you.”
“Thank you, Hassel, I really appreciate it.”
“You’re welcome, my dear Y/n.”
“Well, I’m almost here, I’ll see you soon.”
“Very well. I’ll see you soon.” And with that, you hung up, looking out the window now. It didn’t take you much longer to reach your destination, as you waved the driver and pokemon goodbye, you walked up to the door and knocked, smiling faintly as Hassel opened up the door.
“Good evening, Y/n.”
“Good evening.” Hassel moved to the side to let you into the house, you walked inside and he shut the door behind you.
“Have you had dinner yet, Y/n?”
“No, not yet. I figured by the time I finished the festival was going to start, and I wanted to get over here before then.”
“Go set your things down and I’ll make dinner, okay?”
“Sounds good to me.” You went to the spare room, where you would usually stay when you slept over at his house, and set your bag down. While you were setting your things down, you heard a loud noise from behind you all of a sudden, making you yelp in fear before you were pulled back… into the arms of Hassel’s Baxcalibur, who looked happy to see you.
“Goodness, Baxcalibur!” You chuckled a bit as you shook your head. “I’m happy to see you too, but you can’t just sneak up on me like that!” He let you go from the hug and followed you back into the living room, then into the kitchen.
“Are you alright, Y/n? I heard a noise.” Hassel asked you, a slightly worried look on his face.
“I’m fine, love, just your Baxcalibur gave me a scare by sneaking up on me!”
“Oh goodness, I’m sorry about that, my dear.”
“It’s alright, he wasn’t trying to scare me, I know he was just happy to see me.” You gave the dragon type a little pat on the head as he leaned down for you to do so.
“Well… that’s good. Anyways, dinner will be ready in just a moment.”
“Thank you, Hassel, for everything.”
“It’s not a problem, Y/n.” He smiled softly as you made your way over to him, hugging him, but also taking a look to see what he was making. It was your favorite, (insert favorite food here)! Your eyes lit up at the sight before letting go of Hassel.
“You made my favorite..!”
“I sure did. Now go take a seat and I’ll bring you a plate/bowl.” You nodded and went over to the table before taking a seat at the table. You watched as Hassel brought you a plate/bowl of your favorite food, setting it down in front of you before he kissed your forehead.
“I hope you like it.” You waited a few moments for it to cool off before you cautiously took the first bite.
“Have you been taking lessons from Saguaro? Because this tastes absolutely amazing! So much better than last time!” Hassel chuckled a bit in response, and you could’ve sworn you saw a faint blush on his face.
“You caught me. I asked him to help me, as I told him it was for you, and of course he agreed to it.”
“How sweet.” You two talked for a little while as you finished up your dinner, him taking your plate/bowl and taking it to the sink to wash and put away. You were about to say something when you heard a rather loud noise from outside, in which you made a noise of fear in response, your eyes wide.
“Y/n?” Hassel looked back at you, setting the plate/bowl in the sink before he rushed over to you, pulling you into a hug as there was another loud noise outside, one that sounded like a firework.
“Hey, it’s okay, I’m here..” Hassel held you close to him, bringing you to the couch before sitting down with you, wrapping a blanket around your body before pulling you back to him.
“It’s okay..” he kissed your forehead and looked out the window, seeing a few bright colors light up the sky before the noise rang out, making you tremble in his arms as you practically buried your face into his chest. Hassel gently runs his fingers along your back, holding you close to him to help calm you down.
“It’s okay, they’re gone now. It must have just been a few stray fireworks from the festival.” How was that even possible? Unless some jerk took a couple fireworks and set them off away from the festival. Hassel thought to himself but shook his head as he focused on helping you calm down now.
“Y/n.” He said softly, having you look up at him. “Focus on me, and my voice, okay?” You don’t say anything as you now focus on him, instead of the commotion outside.
“You’re okay, just breathe, sweetheart.” He breathed with you to help you calm your breathing. “There you go.” He smiled softly and went back to lightly rubbing your arm in a gentle, soothing motion.
“…I’m sorry.. for panicking like that..” you suddenly said once you felt you were calmed down enough.
“There’s no need to apologize, Y/n. Practically everyone is afraid of something. You’re afraid of loud noises, and that’s okay. It’s not a silly fear, and you know I’ll always be there to help you.”
“…thank you.” You mumbled, just loud enough for him to hear as you were getting tired after your little panic attack.
“You’re welcome, my dear. Now let’s go get some rest, I’m sure you’re exhausted after all that.” You slowly nodded in response, resting your head on his chest as he stood up, making his way to his room.
“You won’t be sleeping in the guest room tonight, I want to be there with you just in case.” You don’t even argue with him as he carried you into his room and set you down on the bed.
“I’ll go grab your bag, and you can change into your night clothes, okay?” With that said, Hassel left the room, coming back a few moments later with your bag, handing it to you. You took your night clothes out of the bag, which was just a simple shirt and shorts with (design of choice) on them. Hassel grabbed some clothes to change into as well, stepped out of the room and left you to change.
“You can come back in now.” You softly called out to him once you were done and now lying in bed. Hassel stepped back into the room, now changed as well, before crawling into bed beside you, pulling you close to him. You closed your eyes as you rest your head on his chest again. You were pretty tired after the day’s events, and you were just happy to have Hassel there beside you.
“Sleep well, my love.” Was the last thing you heard before you drifted off to sleep, Hassel making sure you were asleep before falling asleep as well.
Ok, but can you guys imagine how Hassel and brassius would get married? Like, I can't help but think that it would be the most extra wedding in all of paldea.
Like, the decorations alone would blow ones mind.
Brassius would make so many statues of his and Hassel, showing moments of their love and Hassel would absolutely use pictures his students drew for them.
Also, their gowns. They would both wear some sort of cape and crown. Idc if it sounds stupid.
Their Pokémon also wear little suits.
The gym leaders, teachers and elite 4 are invited and a few of the students as well.
(Iono would totally try to live stream it.)
Hassels family would probably invite themselves in, but be thrown out just as fast.
