tags : no use of y/n , fluff , Valk being Valk , no implication of reader's gender , short jokes , Valk liking reader's chest
a/n : YAY FIRST PHIGHTING FIC I HOPE THIS WAS TO YOUR LIKING
☀️Let's start off by saying, you are getting PAMPERED
🌻He is going all out for you, nothing is too good for his beloved~
💛He'd probably ask you constantly about things you like, and if you refuse to tell him, he's searching for anything he can find--a wish list, your amazon account if they have that in the crossroads, etc.
🎤Anything that reminds you of him is goin into his cart. Done deal. Try to protest and he's gonna hide it in your closet or in your bag and run away like it's a bomb.
☀️He and Dom will fight over whose team you should be on during phestivals.
🌻Speaking of Dom, the two of you will make fun of Valk's height, regardless of your own.
💛His voice gets even more high pitched when he's flustered.
🎤His favorite part of your body would be your chest. He finds your heartbeat very soothing, and because of his height, (depending on your own), his head is on your chest everytime you hug.
☀️Will debate with you over the things he likes. Which flavor's better, which dessert's the best, etc.
🌻Proudly shows you off to every social media platform he can get his claws on. During concerts, he'll give you shout-outs, and even let you come on stage with him.
💛Despises when people see you as lower than him. A part of dating him is dealing with his fans and the hate that comes with being his lover. You'll have to try to get used to it.
🎤Loves kissing your face. His hands will slide up and down your sides as he peppers kisses on every square inch of skin on your face. He'll also kiss every insecurity you have, and won't stop praising you for it until you admit how stunning you are.
☀️If you have hair, be prepared because he will be constantly playing with it.
🌻Will BEG you to let him give you a makeover. If you still say no, he'll give you the puppy eyes. If you STILL say no, he'll try to butter you up until you say yes (congrats if you managed to resist him for this long)
💛More of a talker than a listener. Be ready for your ear to be talked off.
🎤Notoriously inept at cooking. You'll have to teach him how.
☀️Likes being little spoon, although most of the time, he has his head on your chest.
🌻VERY easy to make him blush.
💛His hair is the softest thing you'll ever feel. He will whine as much as inphernally possible if you steal his shampoo and conditioner.
🎤Loves it when you call him Mic or Microphone instead of Valk. You're one of the only people who can get away with calling him that.
☀️Please take care of him he's such a sweetheart <3

HEHEHEHEHEHE!! been waiting for this!! ihave too manyideas to request but,, may i maybe request the flipside brothers (individually ofc!!), what they're like having a crush and how they'd confess?
sorry if this is a bit bland or vague!! ^^;
- @sethasaurus
Catch Ya On the Flipside! (Even When My Heart Flips Like It's a On Rollercoaster)
Internet Findings: Nahhhh don't worry about it, longer since Flipside fans are in the TRENCHES! Hope headcanons are good for this one, and here ya go :D [END SEARCH]
✨ - Valk tries his hardest to impress you, even though he probably has to look up to see your amazed grin on your face from something he did. Valk just likes doing smaller, less grandiose things as well, like holding a door out for you or just getting you something you like. Hey, he might be the more peppy one of the duo, but he was still raised by Firebrand at the end of the day.
🌻 - You know that he gets very flustered about reading fan mail right? Well times that by twenty and that's how it feels like with you and I'm not even exaggerating it too much. He's not known for being more straight faced like his brother is, so he's kinda a flustered mess around you that he can barely think straight. Duality of a Inphernal.
🎤 - Both he and Dom write the lyrics to their songs, so you'll be surprised to hear that they both go on a different route for a love song dedicated to their crush. For Valk, it's the best way he can say the words he wishes to you without getting jittery and flighty about it. His is more of a pop love song in terms of beat,
🎺 - Valk offers you violets that he says "I just swung by to check if there was something nice up! Thought you might like it." He doesn't know if you know that violets are his favorite flowers, just like how you're his favorite person he's ever met.
🌟 - Confessing to you is harder than he honestly thought about. Valk does it after a fiery concert with Dom, his heart racing and his face flushed from the heat of the performance. It hits him right there as he's breathing in heavily, looking at is microphone in deep contemplation: he has to tell you how he feels.
☀ - The next day Valk will confess to you, alright telling you to meet him for something important in the morning, eyes looking back and forth wondering where you're at. He already arrived ahead of time to a quiet little venue, away from the public so he didn't have to deal with prying eyes and curious glances towards both you and him in interest.
💛 - When Valk sees you, he looks like he's trying to rival how bright the sun gets with how sunny and happy his face gets from seeing you. Valk will start talking with you for a while, building up to the main event steadily as he can't help but admire you. "Hey, can I tell you something? You're- you make me-..." He pauses, trying to gather his thoughts before he did something stupid in front of you, "I like you, a lot actually, heh." Gosh he was messing it up so bad.
🌕 - You accepting the confession makes him almost do a lap around the entire Crossroad as a whole, he felt so giddy and alive in a way he could only feel on stage. Valk doesn't of course, but he does make a mental note to do it later though. You two have a good rest of the time you're there, and Valk is pretty damn glad he worked up the courage to confess like he did, which reminds him... He has to get his outfit together for the next date!
💜 - Dom gets even more soft spoken around you, if it even makes any sense. The guy is honestly surprised he even has a crush on you, so his demeanor changes slightly to be just a bit more shy. He takes you in more, every imperceptible quirk you do on instinct is noted by Dom.
📢 - Like Valk, Dom will also write his crush a love song to show hos feelings. He lays it on thick though, not going a more upbeat route like his brother does and instead goes a slower vibe. Think TAKE YOUR TIME by the two of them. He goes for that sort of vibe as he croons out his love.
🌆 - Dom tries to spend time with you more if he crushes on you, wanting to see your smile more and more whenever he can. He finds you cute wholeheartedly, and he likes being close to you whenever he genuinely can and bask in how beautiful you are.
🌌 - Honestly? He doesn't really think too much about the whole "only one wing and one eye" situation he has (due to how long it's been since it happened), but with you he doesn't mind opening up a bit more, and letting you hold him closer as he melts into you.
🟣 - Dom gets the urge to tell you how he feels when it's late at night and he's crunching to write the lyrics to their newest hit. Inspiration flows from his pen as he scratches and pours all his words he wants to say into lyrics that can be heard by your ears. He gets hit with the feeling on the last line as he rereads what he put down, realizing that this is all for you.
🔮 - Dom actually contemplates on calling you for a few minutes, debating on if you're up or not at this late hour as he fiddles with his pen. He eventually just sighs and grabs his phone, dialing your number and listening to the static ring from each pulse. He hopes you pick up, he really hopes you pick up, maybe he should've just waited? Did this in the morning when he actually had a chance? His tired state was finally calmed when he heard your voice on the other end.
💟 - "I have to tell you something, if you don't mind?" Dom will tell after a few apologies from keeping you up, or worse, waking you up. Dom will breathe in, before he lets his words fly. "I've been thinking about you for a while, and I was hoping... If you don't mind... If it's alright with you..." He was fumbling and he knew it, already retreating in on himself before he just went for it, "Would you like to go out with me...? As a date of course, I like you so much."
🌂 - When you accepted from Dom, he actually has to reassure that you're serious and you wanna be partners together. When you do, and he's finally happy that you genuinely mean it, he takes so long to go to sleep afterwards from the confession, rechecking the time of the date in his head a lot. He wants it to be good for you, just like how you are to him.
*inhale*

Papers were scattered all over your table.
Notes. Worksheets. Blank pieces of working paper.
Everything was all over the place, the need for tidiness and organisation long since damned, forgotten and thrown out the window.
At the heart of it all, your elbows rested against the table as tears streaked down your face, eyes puffy and cheeks red from crying for such a long time.
The computer in front of you was one of the only sources of light in the entire room, illuminating the dark bedroom you were in. Yet, despite the screen lighting up the place in the darkest of places, the contents of the screen extinguished the very last flames in your soul and plunged everything into absolute darkness.
"Your score: 35.0%."
Amidst all the text on the screen, the assessment details and the feedback document, those were the only words illuminated on the screen that you could focus on.
Nine hours of your life. You spent nine painful, gruelling hours on that assessment, and that was the fruit of your hard labour. You spent nine hours on that assessment, and even more during the revision for it. You thought you had that assessment in the bag, you thought victory in your grasp, but no. Fate was cruel, and it played its cards well. You were nothing more than another marionette on its strings in its eternal puppet show. It snuffed out the light of hope within your soul. It lured you into another one of its sweet traps only to send you barreling down into a deep, dark cavern, where nothing but jagged spikes waited patiently for you at the end.
And this time, you would let fate take you to the end.
Your body trembled and shook from the sorrow, and all that could come out of your mouth was a single, pained wail.
You couldn't even muster the strength to form words any more. Not after whatever that was.
The door to your room creaked open. With a soft click, the lights in your room flicked on.
"Sweetheart...?"
It was your beloved, Valk. The idol you didn't know how you managed to date, nor did you know how he ended up loving someone like you.
"Are...are you okay?"
Your mind wandered back to the recent Phestival and the ones before it.
Comedy VS Tragedy.
Pirates VS Mermaids.
Dove VS Crow.
In each and every one of them, Valk was always so hyperactive and optimistic. Alongside his brother, Dom, the two of them were able to attract fans from all around the globe.
Because of that, each Phestival was always enough to generate enough income to sustain each brother for a very, VERY long time. And considering the fact that the Flipside hosted these phestivals once every half a year or so, plus the fact that they also got revenue from regular Phights, they never failed to make bank each and every year.
You, on the other hand, were still studying despite being around Valk's age. Perhaps he had reached stardom early, or you were just a slow grower, but you were still learning. And at snailspeed.
While Valk was thriving alongside his brother, surrounded by millions of loving fans from all around the world, you were still getting by with a part-time job at a fast food chain.
You've seen some of his fans before. Some of them were incredibly wealthy, since you've been able to take a look at the front-row seats from backstage. They were incredibly nice people, too- you've seen them chat with Valk and Dom before.
And even after all that, Valk still chose you. You, a regular Inphernal. Not wealthy or successful, nor perfect and beautiful- you were just you.
As Valk frantically stepped towards you and wrapped his arms around you in a haphazard hug, all you could do was rest your chin against his arm. You were too tired to move and too weak to say anything.
Eventually, you finally mustered up the strength to utter one single word.
"Why?"
That was all you could manage out before breaking down into tears again.
"Why...why do you love me? You have so many loving fans out there who are so much better than I am...more successful...richer...prettier...why me? Why, Valk? I...I really don't deserve you..."
As you fell apart in his arms, Valk hugged you closer to him.
He knew what you were going through. He knew you had those bouts of self-hatred.
And he hated those times with a burning passion.
He hated it when you put yourself down again and again. He hated to see you depressed...because he loved you so much.
"Sweetheart..."
The idol wrapped his wings around you.
"...I wish you could see the world from my eyes...feel what I feel...because I see you for much more than what you think you are.
Valk kissed you on the cheek.
"You're my everything...I don't want perfection or beauty. I want you."
He kissed you on the forehead.
"You're my everything. You've been here long before I even started the Flipside with my brother. You've been with me at my lowest. You see me for who I truly am, not for my fame or my wealth, but you see me as...well...me."
His hand tenderly brushed against your chin, tilting your head up to look at him.
"Of course I love you, (Y/n). Why won't you see yourself for who you are? Your achievements, your beauty...they don't define who you are. I love you because you're unique. You're you. And I love you for that."
His lips connected with yours in a sweet, tender kiss.
A single tear fell from your eye, and you hugged Valk as he poured all his love and care for you into those few seconds.
As he pulled away, his sunshine yellow eyes glanced into yours as he shut the screen of your laptop.
"Please, rest for the day, my love...you have a few more attempts on the assessment, don't you?"
You nodded in response.
"Yes, but...it's due at 2359 tomorrow...I need to try until I pass, I-"
Valk shut you off by clamping a hand over your mouth.
"Hush, nope- I heard that you have more attempts remaining, and I heard that it can wait until tomorrow. You have the entire day. Rest. I'm not hearing you otherwise, unless it's a good reason."
As Valk carried you to your bed and switched off the lights, your room was plunged into darkness yet again. But this time, your laptop was shut, the artificial lighting no longer present to calm you to sleep.
But as your beloved slipped under the covers and nuzzled into your shoulder, you realised that you no longer needed the laptop to light up your surroundings.
The candle in your soul had been relit.
And this time, the light shone upon your reason to carry on.
⋯⇋ ૮(•͈⌔•͈)ა ⇌⋯
and that’s all for now! take care, stay safe, and I’ll see you all soon!
alright got permission from the requester to just do general hcs, i woke up 4-5 hours before my alarm because we’re having a late start day due to the snow, don’t feel as shitty mentally but i’m still not doing great, reasonably
- You weren’t entirely sure how you ended up dating one of the Inpherno’s most famous idols, who is also a demi deity and technically a prince, but hey you aren’t complaining
- Valk is an incredibly sweet partner and an overall very loving guy, he always lets you know just how much he loves and adores you, wether through actions or words, he can be super cheesy about it but it’s incredibly sincere and loving, so even if you roll your eyes at how sappy he’s being you love the way he treats you
- He is an incredibly touchy guy, he is constantly touching you, holding your hand, giving you hugs and kisses, cuddling, bumping horns with you, just any way for him to touch you really, since he’s very likely shorter then you he’s usually little spoon or he just lays on top of you, he’s surprisingly light honestly, unlike Dom he loves when you touch his wings, they’re small and sensitive but it’s an intimate and trusting thing for him to let you touch them, so if while you’re cuddling you pet his wings he literally melts
- He sends you those cheesy videos of two cats doing something loving or even just sitting next to each other that have the caption ‘us<3’, he sends you so many of those it’s not even funny at this point, if one of the cats is an orange cat he always calls being that one, he is very orange cat coded
- He uses those embarrassing over the top pet names for you, you groan and light heartedly swat at him but he just laughs and keeps calling you them, if you retaliate you end up in a war of who can call each other the more embarrassing couples pet name, Dom just looks exhausted by it
- Speaking of Dom you obviously get to know him more, you can tell the differences of the brother’s personalities a lot clearer, but you also see their real personalities not their stage ones, he’s totally chill with you since you make his brother happy but you did get some serious shovel talk when your partner first introduced you to his brother
- Valk unsurprisingly loves karaoke, it’s probably his favorite date night activity, he doesn’t mind if you can’t sing you’re doing the thing he loves, and besides half the fun of karaoke is sucking absolute balls at it, if anything he’s the one ruining the fun being a professional trained singer, but it’s nice to have a private room where you let loose, maybe have a drink, eat some like ice cream parfaits and sing out music like maniacs
- Other dates you two usually do are nice fancy dinners, or nights in gaming, he can and will kick your ass at whatever the equivalent of Mario Kart is, maybe also going to an arcade together, unfortunately most of your dates are in their home or yours because he gets recognized in public, he can to some extent to undercover and make himself less recognizable but it only works so well, you promise him you don’t mind you knew what you were signing up for by dating him
- His love language is yes. He basically falls into all of them, he may slightly prefer some over the others but for the most part he shows and feels loved by all of them, so whatever yours is he’s absolutely fine with, he feels loved regardless and can love you regardless
- His work hours are so inconsistent it’s crazy, sometimes you have two weeks of him barely doing anything other days he and Don have to go into the studio at 5 am, but between it all he reminds you just how much he loves and treasures you, sending you long winded texts about how much he adores you, any and everything about you
- If you’re insecure about anything about yourself he’s saying the most loving and sweet things about it till you want to cry over how amazing he’s being towards you, you feel inferior sometimes seeing as you’re dating him who has so many fans and people who’d kill to date him, but he just reminds you how much he loves you and that there’s no one else in the entire Inphinity he’d rather be with
- Meeting his grandpa was stressful to say the least, not only is he the legal guardian of your lover, he’s a literal god, and your king, so that was not a good time you were incredibly anxious but it went well and eventually it became less scary to see Firebrand
- On the other hand it never became any less scary to see any of his siblings, you see them a lot less so never can really get used to them, the family dinners Firebrand hosts once or twice a year are like a game of mental chess, but Valk is by your side the whole time reassuring you and comforting you, his family isn’t so scary when you get to know them, you disagree but you aren’t saying that
- You call him Mic/Microphone, that’s his name so why wouldn’t you? Valk is just his stage name, you also call Dom by his real name Meg/Megaphone, only a handful of demons have the permission to call the brother’s their real names so it’s nice
i self ship with both flipside brothers so this was a nice break to write, i’m fucking starving right now i’ll probably make myself some breakfast here soon, anyways hope you enjoyed adios
May I possibly request yandere!Valk x s/o with lots of wholesome fluff elements. Please and thank youuu >:)!!
Hehehe,,,I love Valk,,,,he's my favourite
Yandere! Valk x reader fluff
💛🎤
Valk just ADORES you! He saw you in the crowd during a Phestival concert, and it was love at first sight! He'd approach you after a concert and introduce himself, insisting on getting to know you better.
Alongside the sudden introduction, he'd gift you backstage passes and allow only you to sit in his dressing room before and after performances.
Since then, he'd stalk you and take photos of you, putting said photos in a small scrapbook dedicated entirely to you!
Of course, he wanted you to be at his side at all times, so he'd enlist the help of his - albeit hesitant - brother.
"Valk, are you entirely sure about doing this..?"
Dom questioned, not wanting to assist his older brother in kidnapping a fan. Valk scoffed, completely out of character for the idol.
"Of course I am." He replied sharply, flapping his wings impatiently. "It's freezing out here, hurry up!"
Dom knew this was wrong, very wrong. He shouldn't be doing this and should contact the police instead. **"Dude, I'm sorry, I can't. No way, man-"
Valk let out a frustrated sigh and shoved Dom harshly, knocking him down to the ground, nearly hitting his head against your backdoor. He knelt down and grabbed his younger brother's collar and forced him to look at up him.
"Listen, moron. I did not track down Y/N's house and drive here at this ungodly hour just to listen to you complain. You're gonna help me in getting my beloved, otherwise, there'll be only one idol in Crossroads."
Dom shivered, he hated his brother's manipulative side. Swallowing his nerves, he let Valk pull him back up to his feet. The backdoor had been pick locked earlier.
As he entered the house, Dom looked back at his brother, unable to look away from his false, encouraging sweet smile. With a sigh, he ventured further into your home.
"I'm sorry, Y/N..."
------------------------------------------------
"It's okay, please don't be scared!"
Valk whispered, cupping your tear-stained face in his hands. He gazed lovingly into your fear-stricken eyes, admiring your beautiful face.
"You'll be more comfortable here with me, I promise! It'll mostly be me and you here, together!"
He continued, pressing light kisses against your face. He sat comfortably in your lap as he rambled on about the cute things you'd be doing together!
"I'll take you to the family gatherings, Firebrand will agree that you're perfect for me! And then we'll have a wedding and we can maybe even have our own family!! Please stop crying now, I'll take perfect care of you, I promise!"
Valk doesn't worry about any escape attempts. Since he's an idol, he's sure to have a dozen of bodyguards. So expect to be dragged kicking and screaming if you try sneaking out the manor.
^ Although disheartened, Valk finds your foiled escape attempts amusing. After being thrown on the ground by said bodyguards, he kneels beside you, wrapping his wings and tail around you while stroking your horns.
*"Silly Y/N! Trying to escape again? Surely you know you can't outrun my bodyguards, they're too fast for you! Why can't you just settle down already? Just give in already."
Eventually, you get used to living with the popstar, and he's thrilled when you finally come around to loving him back!
It's impossible for him to not make physical contact with you. It's either holding your waist or holding your hand.
He hasn't revealed his relationship with you to the public yet, but he **knows **the fanbase would say you're both cute perfect together!
Every night, Valk cuddles into you, wrapping his tail around you. He loves falling asleep to the sound of your heartbeat, it's music to his ears!
summary - valk x reader , reader's also an idol .. smiles .. more valk pining than anything sorry
wc - i dunno ...
misc - very based on spltoon i wont even lie you are the ian bgm to his squid sistrs (< incomprehensible)
-Valk liked to keep a good eye on the music scene, seeing what everyone else was doing or if there were any new groups on the rise in crossroads- it's just exciting to him! He likes seeing how people innovate on trends and the styles that different artists bring to the table, and, from a business perspective, it's just good to know how the music scene's doing for flipside's sake ...
-He usually just kept an ear out on social media to see who everyone's talking about, and that's how he learned about you.
-You were a part of a band from one of the other regions, and apparently you guys were pretty popular there! He hadn't heard of you before, but it seems like you were just a well-kept secret, a hidden gem.
-It didn't take long for him to make plans to visit, see just how much of an idol you really were. He just wanted to make sure he got the full perspective, is all! (And, admittedly, he was just a little intrigued by some of the photos he seen ... he has eyes! Get off his case!)
-Needless to say, he was not disappointed. He made sure to visit when your band was supposed to be performing and he was decently surprised by the crowd that had formed. It was a smaller concert than he was used to (it's not easy being known by the grand majority of the inpherno ...), but everyone there seemed totally enthralled and happy to be there. You guys definitely had a big reputation for yourselves here, he was honestly a little sad it'd taken this long for him to find out about you guys ...
-Once the show was over, he made sure to try and talk to you all. He had to be careful about it, keeping his head down and sticking to the edges of the room, but he managed to get close without being recognized. After he quietly thanked the Heights for it being a night show (he wouldn't have been able to see the stage before getting someone shouting his name if it was daytime), he made his way over to you.
-You all seemed to be about even in popularity, none of you seeming particularly shafted or overhyped by your fans, but you'd been the one he heard about the most. (Though, that probably wasn't true. He probably heard about all of you the same amount and just paid the most attention when you were being focused on. Woops.) So, he figured it was only fair he tried talking to you.
The diguise he hastily threw together felt just a little silly now. Sure, it'd worked pretty well so far, but he was really starting to doubt that it would work up close like this. I mean, it's not exactly easy to hide horns like his and his fake voice-persona-mix was really starting to fall apart.
"Where'd you say you're from?" Your voice snapped him out of his thoughts.
"Crossroads, I just wanted to see one of your guys' shows in person, they seemed pretty fun from everything I saw online," he answered honestly, smiling in a gesture you returned with your own.
"Aw! I really hope you liked it then, I hope we were worth the travel..."
"Oh, for sure! You guys are super talented! You've got such a unique style, I can definitely see how you pull such a big crowd." Ok, maybe he was laying it on thick, but he was being genuine! He was impressed! Whatever!
You laughed at that, shifting in place and glancing off to the side, face feeling warm. "Thank you, I'm just glad people like our work, we put a lot of effort into it."
He hummed in response, a mix between acknowledgement and shared opinion. Clearly, even if you two had very different scenes, you were still pretty alike, at least in how you viewed your work. A silence fell after that, just barely ebbing into uncomfortable before he shot up.
"Oh, I totally forgot!" He started fumbling for something in his bag before hastily pushing over a vinyl he'd got before heading over here and a market he'd thrown in his bag only a little shamefully, "Would you mind?"
You smiled at him, gingerly taking it from his hands, "Not at all, who should I make this out to?"
He blanched, biting the inside of his lip hard. He hadn't thought of a name, at all. He stammered, glancing around the room quickly for some answer. Pen was so boring, Poster was obviously a lie, and he's not even entertaining Chair.
You snickered, just barely failing to bite it back, "I'll just keep it general."
His eyes shot back to you, silently letting out the breath he'd been holding, "Yeah, that works. Thanks."
You waved your hand dismissively, "It's nothing, don't sweat it." You handed the vinyl back over to him, meeting his gaze again. There was a glimmer of something he couldn't quite name, perhaps because he was a little distracted by just how pretty you looked in this lighting. Sure, you'd been killer on stage, but it was different seeing you up close like this. Maybe he should've invested in closer seats ...
Before he could think to bite his tongue, he was talking again, "You ever think about collabs?"
-He had a different kind of pep in his step when he got back to crossroads. He seemed to be in a constant state of distraction, always thinking about something or other enough to risk walking into walls a few times now. Sometimes he'd say it was music, some bar that he was stuck on. Othertimes, he'd just shake his head and say 'nothing,' before going back to staring off into space. Dom could see right through it, and while he couldn't read his mind, he figured it probably had to do with that person he kept seeing on his phone.
-Valk wasn't sure of where to go from here. He'd seen one of your concerts, he'd talked to you, even figured out you guys were open to working with other artists! Curiosity satiated, right? So then why were you still taking up so much space in his mind, often entirely seperated from your band and music?
-Should he have asked for your number? No, that would've been creepy. He knows more than well how fans can be about that sort of thing. Should he have just told you who he was, then? Ugh, that sounded so full of himself. Flipside might be famous, but that doesn't give him a free friendship card for everyone ever. He was pulling his hair out trying to figure out what he was missing here, what misstep he'd taken, by the time another concert came up.
-This one was different, rather than being a concert he and Dom performed at exclusively, this one had people from all around inpherno perform. It was a big deal, one that he was usually giddy about for weeks before. Seems like he really had been awfully distracted with how it slipped his mind ...
-He didn't have much time to mourn, however, when he noticed your band's name was on the list.
Before the show, there was a red carpet sort of ordeal. Musicians would show up dressed to the nines, flaunting their identity and background through their dresswear for everyone to see. It gave the public some nice photos to look at and some introductions to lesser-known artists with some of the impromptu interviews that cropped up with all the paparazzi. Plus, it now gave Valk an opportunity to talk to you again. It was hard to pull off his usually casual and relaxed demeanor whenever he'd pass photographers by, not wanting to deal with some big ordeal if he looked as nervous as he felt.
Maybe you'd already walked? Where would you be then? Heights, what if you'd all pulled out last minute? Maybe you wouldn't even wanna talk to him anyway, did you think he was overhyped? Ugh, that was a whole new thing to worry about. What if he came off as pushy?-
Just as he started to spiral, he'd caught a glimpse of familiar horns. Quickly turning to look, he'd seen you standing off in one of the staff-only areas, seemingly fixing up your outfit with all the fluffing and smoothing you were doing. He started over, minding his pace enough to not run over and freak you out. Whatever planned conversation starter he had on his tongue fell flat when you'd looked back at him.
Your stage-wear had been perfectly translated to the event, dressed up enough to draw the eye but still retaining your usual sense of style enough to not come off as tryhardy. In shorter terms, you were a showstopper, a heartthrob- if his own heart's aching, fast beat was anything to go off of.
"You look nice," he managed lamely.
You took the weak compliment in stride, smiling as your hands finally left your top alone, "Thanks! You don't look half bad yourself."
He smiled back at you, noticably relaxing, "Are you nervous at all?"
"I mean, a little, but I think everyone gets a little bit of stage fright," you hummed, "it's always a little nerve-wracking, you just get better at managing it."
"Huh, yeah, I can see that.."
"What about you, are you nervous at all?" You shot him a look then, smile just a tinge more wry this time around. He straighted back up, subconsciously shifting in place as he laughed.
"Ah, well, a little. It's different performing in front of a more diverse crowd, usually you just have to worry about people who already like your genre, but here you've gotta think about the variety of tastes in the audience," he hummed, steadily growing more comfortable as he talked. He might not be the best at talking to people he wants to impress (when did he start wanting to impress you?), but he considered himself pretty strong in his business sense. The greater mechanisms of being a musician came to him easier than making connections beyong shared interest.
You gave a little noise of acknowledgement in response, falling quiet as you thought over his words. He could just barely hear the distant white noise of crowds chattering a room over the buzzing lights in here, fixing his gaze on some scuff on the ground for fear of staring.
You suddenly shot up as the silence began to drag on a moment too long, turning your head back to him, "I almost forgot. You asked me about collabs at my concert," you started shuffling around your [ purse / pockets ], "I don't know if you were offering or anything, but if you were ..." you trailed off, holding out a small slip of paper to him.
He didn't respond for a few seconds, staring blankly at the paper in surprise. Eventually, he rembered how to move his arms and speak, reaching out to take the slip from you, carefully unfolding it to reveal digits. "You uh... recognized me then, I'm guessing."
"You have a pretty memorable face."
He sucked in a breath through his teeth, pointedly ignoring the warmth crawling up the back of his neck, "Ah."
Waddup guys itz ya boi!
im very sorry for the lack of updates since I’ve been busy at school as of lately but I’ve managed my time to recover ! (-. - ;)
- favorite love language to give is words of affirmation, his favorite to receive is quality time.
- you two gossip about other people together, and are silently judging everybody else, occasionally even valk.
- i imagine that dom has an interest in poetry, and he usually leaves you little pieces of his work in places he knows you’ll find them, and sometimes you wonder if he was a poet in his past life, he’s very talented, it’s no wonder he’s an idol..
- his voice sounds like how silk feels, it’s so soothing and gentle, him rambling until you get sleep is his favorite way of helping you rest.
- he appears very intimidating and even scary, but he’s genuinely so sweet and kind. his hands are very soft and he uses that to his advantage by caressing your body and whispering about how beautiful he thinks you are, and about how you’re so lovely..
“shhh, it’s ok, just rest. i’m right here, little butterfly… i won’t leave you..”
valk:
- favorite love language to give is giving gifts while his favorite to receive is physical touch. (I just know this man would melt at the slightest touch)
- he’s always showering you with love and affection, and if he’s not, he’s at least holding your hand, LET HIM HOLD YOU GOD DAMN IT.
- during your free time, you guys will read cringy fanfics for fun and just laugh at how bad they are.
- he’s a huge astrology nerd, and he loves going out on starry nights with you just so you two can ramble about them and see how many constellations you can count.
- he helps you with getting ready for the day and is great at cooking (unlike dom), so he’s the one usually cooking meals for you, but he doesn’t mind when you want to help, he likes spending time with you however.
