He was reckless and set off an alarm, had the place surrounded in minutes
He grabbed your hand, running out the back however you still got shot, bullet straight to the hip
The scream you let out, is a sound he never wanted to hear again
"You sick bastards" he shouts running at a terrifying speed
They're dead in seconds, blood pooling from the knife wounds, he was coated in it
"Go to fucking sleep"
He kicked the corpses, his breathing heavy
He hurried towards you and scooping you up
"Shit- doll we gotta get you back to the mansion. Get Ann or Smiley on ya"
He ran, didnt stop once, not until he got you into the arms of Dr. Smiley and Nurse Ann
The whole time he sat right in the chair while watching them work
Despite being told to leave numerous times he just dismissed them
"Don't you die on me dollface" he whispered into your hair, keeping his chapped scarred lips on your forehead
Ben
You came back from a mission all shaken and bruised
He was walking by the living room, after getting a soda
One glance and the drink was spit out
"The fuck happened!?" He practically yells while running over
You tried to tell him just some problematic victims that you'd be fine
But he's having none of it and dragged you straight to his room
Put you snug on his bed and let you watch his screen
You thought he was gaming but soon you saw the area you were just at
Those losers are still there, Ben turned the security camera towards them
Then he climbed through and suddenly the alley started to distort, the guys looked around confused
BEN looked so terrifying. His eyes were pure black, neck twisted like it was broken
There was screaming and pushing
"Who the fuck are you!?" One of them said accusingly
Ben smiled wide and scary
"You shouldn't have done that"
Then he snapped each one of their necks
Lj
You and Jack were dealing with an neglectfup couple
Too much up on themselves rather than their kids
One thing led to another and the man was able to knock you down, hit hard in the chest
It knocked the wind out of you and you fell right on your ass
Laughing Jack went rigid. His grin widened and it got terrifying
The room started spinning and the couple looked confused
Then figures started to rise
Things that looked like just black shadows to you, but were their worst fears
Shrieks enveloping you and Jack got lankier, more marionette like
Soon, he placed a claw on each of their faces, squeezing until their jaws exploded
Helpless whining was all that left their barely alive forms
He started slamming them down onto the floor hard, over and over
The light from their eyes faded awhile ago
"Jack!" You shout and then, and only then did he stop
He looked deranged, blood and guts covering him and you looked sick
You held out your hand and his large claw slowly intertwined with your fingers
"Let's g-go" you whisper, police and CPS were there by morning
Toby
A rouge victim, she was screaming and hitting back
She managed to stab your shoulder
"Ah dammit!" You grit you teeth, feeling the warm blood pooling down your arm
You barley blinked and her head was sliced clean off
Blood sprayed from her like a fountain, legs buckling and falling
Her severed head rolled by your feet
You swayed slightly, walking over to him
He met you half way and pulled you into his arms squeezing tightly
Almost too tightly
"Th-thought she almost had you" he breathed in your hair
"Toby...ease up a bit" you gasped and he quickly loosened up
His arms around your waist, face pressed against your bloody shoulder
"L-lets get you home"
He picked you up with one arm, holding both bloody hatchets in the other
The room reeked of blood but he didnt care
Usually he'd clean up a bit, be respectful to his victims to an extent
But she crossed a line
And he didn't care who it was, no one hurts you and gets a decent ending
Ej
You came to the basement after a rather hard night out
They put up more of a fight then you'd expected
With a shaky knock your legs wobbled
The door was yanked open almost immediately and you were tugged in
"Details" was all he said, snapping on a glove
You shook your head "not important, she's dead anyway."
He looked at you with seriousness
"I don't care. Explain."
He crouched in front of you, examining every inch
As you recounted your story he nodded it hummed in response but you knew he was listening
"A few broken ribs and damaged tissues." He murmured
He spent the rest of the night attending to your wounds, kissing every area he could
Helen
"Go extract his blood, darling. I need to make a call" he said in a low voice after the mission
You crouched, assuming he was really dead
He bolted up quickly "surprise motherfucker" and he grabbed your face, squeezing tight
You let out a muffled scream and he started to climb on top of you to shut you up
His other hand traveled to your throat preparing to squeeze but a deafening Crack stopped him
His eyes nearly bulged out of his head
He slumped backward and you took a savoring breath
Looking up you saw Helen with an expression you've never seen
He was looking at his bloody fist and back at the dead man
He punched a hole through this guy's forehead
You scrambled to your feet and hugged him tightly, still shaken
One strong arm wrapped around your waist, soft lips pressing against your forehead
Tim/Masky
It was a late night, you were patrolling by the outskirts
A drunken man came stumbling came at you, words slurred
"What a lonely bitch standing all by herself right?" he mocked, alcohol strong and you scrunched your nose
"Huh? Answer me whore" he presses on
When you tried to ignore him, he raised his hand to slap you but he never made contact
He screamed and fell back swearing like a sailor
You snapped your head back to see Masky holding his handgun, face obscured by the mask
You could tell he was pissed though
Clenched jaw, tense shoulders, trembling fingers
He shot 4 more times right at his face and crotch
"Real men don't hit women." Was all he said before grabbing your upper arm roughly dragging you back
"I'll talk to the boss about putting you on late night missions." He explained
"I...can handle myself" you mutter but sounded unsure of yourself
"I know you can princess but for my piece of mind, let me come with you"
He pulled you into a one arm hug
"Wouldn't know what to do with myself if you didnt make it."
Hoodie/Brian
You both were waiting in the car while Toby and Masky were inside taking care of business
A soft tune coming from the car radio, Hoodie had both hands on the wheel
It was peaceful, bonding without words until Masky's voice came from Hoodie's walkie talkie
"Take her and get outta here. Bit off more than we can chew. We'll catch up."
The line went dead
Hoodie wastes no time driving as fast he could cursing under his breath
He fumbled with the wheel slightly, then a shot echos behind you
You jump covering your ears
Then again, this time, it hit a wheel
The car went off the road and slightly then another bullet hit the second back wheel
The car drove completely off course, then crashed
You don't remember anything else except for Hoodie grabbing his shot gun and blowing the guy's brians out
He ran over to you, but then your eyes felt heavy lidded and you closed them
You woke up in a new car, in the backseat, Masky smoking a cigarette by the curb
Toby was laying there on the roadside looking distant
Brian was in the driver's seat, looking sick
When he saw you awake he perked up, all tension in his shoulders leaving
You climbed into the passenger seat, his hand finding your thigh like it was natural
"Scared me shitless" he laughed bitterly rubbing circles on the flesh of your leg
Soon Tim and Toby joined the stolen van, the drive home was tense but a lot less it was when you were out
Nina
She was nonstop talking about all She wanted to do with her victim while you both were making your way to the designated area
Suddenly she shut up and grabbed your arm, there she was, a pretty girl who was the victim walked out
Nina's eyes narrowed, holding your arm tighter
Soon the mission launched into action
This girl was more than a pretty face and tackled you pretty well, knife aimed at your face before a disgusting slash rang through
"Bitch get off my man!" Nina shrieked, going full psycho on her, landing onto of her
She stabbed and stabbed until the girl's pretty face was mutilated
Nina stood up, blood soaked and proud of herself
She giggled and grabbed your arm and hugged it tightly
Clockwork
The mission was taking longer than expected, Natalie was slightly worried but she'd never say it
Soon you came in, wincing slightly and her face harden
"What happened? Give me the name of the bastard" she said digging in her drawer for her favorite dagger
You clenched your teeth from the pain, stretching slightly, muscles flexing
"It's just a scratch" you said trying to hide the growing blood stain on your abdomen
She looked at you with a face of disbelief
Ripping off your shirt, she started to clean the wound. You hissed slightly and she kissed your cheek
"Relax. I got you." She said calmly, wrapping your up.
"There." She said, running her fingers through her hair
She grabbed her dagger and headed towards the door
"Where you going?" You suspiciously asked and she stopped briefly
"They touched what's mine." She said like it was obvious
With that clockwork walked out, returning hours later blood soaked
But it made her look incredibly hot too
"He's gone." She nodded, you repeated the action back to her
Jane
You stumbled back to the mansion with a few broken bones
He put up a hella good fight
As soon as you entered you were met with a very agitated Jane. Her lipstick was smudged, hair slightly messy
"You're late. Where have you been?" She demanded, dragging you by the shirt, slender pale fingers inspecting you
"Just some trouble-shit" you swore as her fingers grazed your sensitive flesh
"You fool, why didn't request my assistance of if they were such a nuisance?" She sighed
Her hands slide down your arms as she led you towards Dr. Smiley
The whole way down, she held your wrists delicately
Afraid to break you even more
Your heart fluttered slightly as the room came into view
"You're lapdog is getting on my nerves Arkensaw." Smiley said, snapping on his mask again
"I'm not her lapdog! I'm her fucking boyfriend!" You shout, pain searing through your broken rib
He looked at you and sighed, Jane gripped your arm comfortingly
Zero
You and Zero were in a rough fist fight with a particularly strong enemy
He had more back up then initially thought
"These fucking assholes!" Zero growled and punch him right in the nose
Neither of you noticed the girl coming up behind you
She placed a knife to your throat
"Such a pretty boy. What a shame-"
She didnt get to finish before a sledgehammer made contact with her skull
"Hands to yourself bitch" Zero spat, flipping her white hair off her shoulder
That didnt seem enough for Zero, once she saw the blood from a shallow cut on your throat
Her eyes went wild and she raised the sledgehammer high above her head
Slam
She brought it down over and over and over again
The body was almost unrecognizable
"Yeah? You're trying to take him away from me?" She growled
One final slam until the rest of the enemies, ran in fear and left the main target who just stood there sweating
You pulled out your gun, taking him out in one shot
Nurse Ann
The night was rough
Your lips were bleeding, bruises coated your body
At least you got the fucker
You thought things were fine, when you opened the door to the mansion, you nearly gagged
The man you murdered had his head on a platter on the table
Eyes gouged out, tongue gone
Next to it lay Ann's chainsaw all bloodsoaked
"Come." You heard a familiar chilling voice
You looked behind you and saw Ann staring at you with eyes of disappointment but you could see the worry
You walked over, she stood on her tiptoes and pulled your face down to hers
Her deep red eyes staring into yours
You sat down with a groan, she quickly began the procedure to patch you up
"Reckless. Stubborn." She muttered under breath
When you were done she rested her hands on your shoulder blades
Not hurting, just grounding

SLENDERMAN — does not understand the concept of love. this isn't to say it can't feel it, it just... won't be able to immediately identify when it starts to develop such an emotion for you. it goes through many experiences where it has a moment of 'you are... an interesting being' towards you, and those are like mini realizations. it won't realize it loves you until someone explains to it what love is.
and once it does understand that the strange feeling you made it feel was love, well... it's a bit hesitant to indulge, to be honest. slender has never felt something like this before. it didn't even know it was capable of such an emotion. it's something it always viewed as a weakness. it'll take a while for slender to accept its feelings for you, to be honest.
JEFF THE KILLER — realizes he's in love with you when he shows up at your place one evening to find you struggling to stay awake while waiting for him. it hits him suddenly, seeing you drifting in and out of sleep while staring at your phone. you hadn't realized he was there yet, and honestly, he doesn't want you to know. because if you look over at him, you'll see the disgusting fondness in his gaze.
he won't tell you he loves you for a long time. it's something that makes him feel weak. he'd always believed he had nothing to lose, and now that he does... it's just not something he was ready to acknowledge. those three words will only slip past his lips when he thinks he's about to lose you, because that's the only way you'd probably get him to admit he loves you.
JANE THE KILLER — only realizes she's in love with you when jeff threatens your life. you two were friends, and she cared deeply for you, but it was nothing more than that, surely. but then that rat bastard dared to hurt you, and suddenly she's a teenager again, losing everything she's ever loved. your blood on her hands is something she never wants to experience again.
but you survive, and jane is telling you that she loves you the moment your eyes open. you don't have to love her back, but she needs to get these feelings off her chest because it felt like she'd drown in them if she didn't. whether you reciprocate them or not doesn't matter to her, because jane will make a vow to ensure that no harm comes to you ever again.
NINA THE KILLER — likes to say she knew she loved you from the start, but that was just infatuation. nina is a bit desperate for a relationship, truth be told, so she's deeply invested in anyone who shows her an ounce of kindness because she thinks it could lead to something more. it's led to her being disappointed far too many times, and everyone had assumed it would be the same with you.
but as the weeks went by, her infatuation never went away. you didn't try pushing her away when she was around, and you always included her in the conversation. you went out of your way to make sure she didn't feel neglected. at this point, she doesn't care if it's genuine love or not. all she knows is that you and her are meant to be together, and she will stop at nothing to make sure that happens.
HOMICIDAL LIU — has numerous reasons as to why he doesn't realize he's in love with you until it literally smacks him in the face. he's busy trying to kill jeff, he's never been in a relationship before, he thinks he doesn't deserve the happiness a relationship might give him. just about all of that, all wrapped up into one giant mess of a ball. the way he realizes he's in love with you is sully literally screaming at him in his head and giving him the world's worst migraine.
even with this realization, he hesitates to indulge. once he does, he'll be baring all his flaws to you. you'll see every nasty part of him that he doesn't want you to know about, and you'll realize that he's no good for you. but when those words of love quietly escape him, and you smile at him and tell him you feel the same, he can't stop himself from being selfish. just this once, he decides. and if you ever want to leave, he'll let you go. he hopes.
SULLY — experiences something akin to love at first sight, actually. the moment he met you, he liked you. it was a strange fascination, one that had his heart racing when he was fronting. of course, he's not delusional enough to think it was actually love. still, it doesn't stop him from admiring you, and constantly telling you that he likes you whenever the chance presented itself. the moment it turns to genuine love, however, it's like this switch flips.
the playful glint in his eyes whenever he'd dramatically drape himself over you, the smug smile when he'd get you flustered, it was different. his touch lingered now, like he wanted to just be glued to your side. his smile was softer, like seeing you flustered was something more than a joke. his eyes held an emotion in them that was bordered on uncanny, like he wanted to devour you whole. his love for you could easily become twisted, if under the right circumstances.
THE BLOODY PAINTER — has absolutely no interest in romance whatsoever until you. helen's entire childhood revolved around being good enough for his parents, so he never had the opportunity to read romance novels or watch romance movies. now it's simply not something he cared about. the only thing that had his attention was his art. it was a part of his very being, after all. and the way you interact with his art is actually what made him fall for you.
he's used to people complimenting his work. empty words, things that meant nothing to him. but you criticized him. you pointed out certain things about his paintings that you didn't like, and highlighted the things you did. you were honest with him. and honesty is a quality he finds to be very attractive, apparently, because you end up stuck in his mind, the focal piece of all his work. his muse. something that bordered on obsession.
NURSE ANN — has a hard time feeling emotions to begin with, so she probably won't realize she loves you for a long time. her emotions are... dull, to put it simply. vague things that she struggles to identify. if it's not anger, then it'll take her a while to identify how she feels. it takes even longer for her to even articulate her emotions into something she can explain to you, considering she can't speak.
but ann realizes she's in love with you randomly one night, when you're not around. you're in her mind a lot more than she would like, but it's not something that upsets her. she spent a good chunk of the night wandering the halls of the abandoned hospital just... thinking about how she feels about you, and what the proper way to describe that feeling would be. she's not sure if she's ever been in love before, but she'd like to experience it with you.
EYELESS JACK — realizes he loves you in bits and pieces, over the course of your companionship. originally, he had wanted to eat you. but for one reason or another, he opted not to, and it led to a strange friendship blossoming instead. you took his demonic nature in stride, and never seemed repulsed by his less than human qualities. you appeared curious, more often than not. your curiosity is the first thing he finds himself falling in love with.
but the thing that solidified his feelings for you was when he paid you a visit one night, and you had excitedly guided him to this mini freezer you had bough a while ago. inside was just... numerous things of raw meat. animal meat, you had explained, because you weren't willing to dabble in illegal activities to get human meat. you just wanted him to be able to snack on something whenever he decided to spend the night, and he just... he ends up kissing you right then and there, yeah.
LAUGHING JACK — refuses to believe that he could ever fall in love with you. he's evil, he's cruel, he's never going to experience such stupid feelings like love. but it's like the universe is always out to make a fool out of him, because you come crashing into his life and suddenly colors start appearing again, and he hates it. he hates you, hates that you make him feel something after spending centuries feeling nothing.
and yet, he's somehow always finding excuses to be in the same room as you. he's stubborn enough to not admit that he's in love with you for a long time, but trust that his abandonment issues will make it known that he would kill you if you ever thought about leaving him. love him, hate him, he doesn't care as long as you're with him.
HOBO HEART — didn't think he could fall in love again after what happened with celina. he spent decades roaming the earth, taking the hearts of those who didn't deserve it, just to prolong his own existence before he met you. he could sense the purity in your heart, and it's what drew him to you to begin with. he was waiting for you to reveal your true colors, to give him a reason to kill you and take your heart but... it never came.
instead, you just proved to him that he could fall in love even without having a heart of his own. it's different from the first time he felt like this, and yet it was oh so familiar. the only possible downside to hobo being in love with you is the fact that he takes everything very literally, so anything you say is like the law of existence to him. he'll give you the hearts of hundreds of people to prove his devotion to you.
TICCI TOBY — realizes he's in love with you when he finds himself seeking out your presence. love is a scary thing to him, because he's not sure it's something he can handle. not anymore. he built up so many walls just to protect himself that it was... terrifying, really, how easily you were able to worm your way into his life. what confused him the most was the fact that he welcomed you.
it'll take him a while to actually come to terms with his feelings for you. he may even go as far as to avoid you entirely during the process, simply because you being around made it hard for him to focus. he never wanted a relationship, not that he can remember. being a proxy is all he knows, but now he's thinking about kissing you, and spending time with you, and wondering if you'll try talking to him today, and... it's all you.
CLOCKWORK — knows that she's in love with you when you don't distance yourself from her when you see her ugly side. her angry outbursts, her random breakdowns, things that she doesn't like people seeing. you've seen it all, and you've never let that change the way you viewed her. a part of her hates that you're so accepting, because it makes it so damn easy to get attached to you, and she's always wondering when the other shoe will drop.
natalie doesn't like feeling weak, but god... you make it so easy to just let loose, and it's a feeling she starts to crave when she's away from you for too long. i don't think she'll tell you she loves you, mostly because she's got this idea instilled in her head that if she does, you'll drop her immediately. if this relationship were to go anywhere, you'd have to take the first step.
JASON THE TOYMAKER — is telling you he loves you the moment he decides you're the one for him. he does this with all of his victims. but you won't be like the rest, surely. you'll stay, and never need anyone other than him. but he doesn't realize that he's truly, deeply, in love with you until it just hits him while he's in the middle of sewing up some random stuffed animal. jason loves you. it's a revelation that shouldn't shock him, but it does.
and the next time he sees you, the words are tumbling out of him mouth as he wraps his arms around you, squeezing you so tightly that you felt like you'd suffocate in his arms. you were the one for him. you had to be. nobody has ever made him feel like this before. the place where his heart should be burned whenever you were around, and it's such an odd feeling that he was becoming obsessed with. you can't leave him, and he won't let you even if you tried.
THE PUPPETEER — staunchly refuses to acknowledge his feelings for you for a very long time. he's always had a bit of a soft spot for you the moment he made you his proxy, but he ignored it. he'd even get angry if anyone brought it up, because no. he is not in love with you. you're merely a tool for him to use, nothing more. but as time went on, it was getting harder and harder to ignore the aching in his chest whenever you were around.
it all tips over when he catches you carefully tending to emra's injuries while he had been away. he's been known to be very possessive of his creations, not letting anyone touch them but him. but you hadn't known when he'd be back, and emra needed her hand fixed, and he just... you were being so careful with her, treating her like the masterpiece that she was. he'll never say the words, but you'll know in the way he's gentler with you. the way his touch lingers, and the way golden strings always seem to coil around you whenever he's near.
THE DOLL MAKER — seems like the type of person who will only truly fall in love with someone who is as passionate about his work as he is. the moment he catches you carefully moving one of his dolls around like it was something to be treasured, or if you decide to make little accessories to match the outfits he designs... well, the wedding is already planned out in his head and he's wondering when to pop the question.
in all seriousness, he'd take his time before he ever told you how he felt. vine isn't experienced in the world of romance, so he doesn't know when the right timing would be to confess his love. he just hopes that it's something that he's made obvious in his other actions. but when he does decide to tell you those three words, he hopes that you'll say them back.
ZALGO — similarly to slender, did not think he could feel such an emotion. he was a being that transcended human understanding, after all. he made people go insane with a single thought, so how could he ever possibly feel something such as love? the mere idea was enough to have him laughing. no. something such as that wasn't possible. but then you come into his life. a strange, curious human with far too much confidence around an eldritch horror.
zalgo will make you understand the horrors that come with having him love you. you became a deity in the eyes of his numerous cults, essentially. there's no telling how many people have been sacrificed in your honor. how many loved ones you've lost, simply because you had made a creature beyond your understanding love you. it's not pretty. it's cruel, and gruesome, and you will never be able to leave him.
X-VIRUS — is that slow burn sort of realization. honestly, he seems like he's the type to be oblivious to romance unless it's laid on thick. to him, for a long time, you're just a really close friend who sometimes helps him with his experiments. cody will only realize his feelings for you if you start spending time with someone other than him. your absence is something he becomes painfully aware of, to the point that it makes it impossible to focus on anything.
he's not the possessive type by any means, but there's this feeling of jealousy in his gut when he sees you with someone else. that's when it clicks in his mind, 'oh. i'm in love.'. i want you to picture a classic friends to lovers romance, with a side of medical experimentation and murder. cody would like to think his confession was super romantic and the greatest thing ever, but no. no, he stumbles over his words, he's nervous, and he's just hoping you'll reciprocate his feelings.
LAUGHING JILL — finds herself falling in love with you when she realizes she can feel when you're around. the usual bitterness and anger that she felt on a constant always seemed to die down around you, and that joy that she came into existence with bubbled to the surface. it was childish, almost, the way she got excited whenever you wanted to include her in something. no matter how small, she took any excuse she could just to spend time with you.
it's too the point where jill feels as if she cannot exist without you. you've become so intertwined with her existence that she feels as if she'll die without you. it's unhealthy, and she knows this, but she finds it hard to care when the happiness you bring with you was just too addicting for her to give up.
CANDY POP — wasn't the type to grow attached to people easily. he had friends, sure, but it had taken him ages to actually refer to them as such. to him, everyone is a toy for him to play with however he pleases. you were meant to be just that, and yet you somehow turned the tables on him and he ended up falling in love with you like a pathetic fool. it's a realization that has him reeling, because he didn't think love was something he was capable of.
candy tries to be the picture perfect suitor you could only dream of having, he really does, but if you're not reciprocating his feelings within the first week of him confessing to you, he's dropping the act and just taking you for himself. you lost all choice in the matter the moment he entered your life, actually. and if you're really adamant on getting away from him, then trust that he will not hesitate to drag you into the abyss he's tethered to.
DR SMILEY — won't realize he's in love with you until you're already dead. you were just a victim of his that he kept around far longer than he normally did, but the silence that surrounded him when you were no longer around was... haunting. he tries to replace you, thinking another victim crying and begging for mercy would fill the silence but it just wasn't the same.
they didn't make his heart race the way you had. he didn't feel that excitement he had felt when he was with you. he won't call it love, but it was a strong enough feeling that it had him gathering the pieces of your body. he's a doctor. he'll stitch you back together, and bring you back to him. and when you wake from the dead to see the sharp smile of the man who killed you, you'll realize that there's truly no escaping him.
KAGEKAO — isn't a stranger to romance. he's had his fair share of relationships, what with sadie and then realizing he's gay and the awkward breakup that came with that, plus the numerous flings and situationships. you were meant to be nothing more than another situationship, and maybe even a victim if he got bored of you, but... that boredom never came. and neither did the end of your weird relationship.
kagekao somehow always ended up at your place whenever he wasn't off tormenting some poor soul. then he started to pop up whenever he was bored, and he'd somehow always end up staying the night. there were times when he'd even bring over some cheap takeout and wine. he knew he was gone when you rested your head on his lap while you two were watching some silent film, and the movie suddenly seemed irrelevant to the feeling of you. ah... you'll keep him entertained for a while, he's sure of it.
NATHAN THE NOBODY — is so obsessed with finding the people who kidnapped his sister that he never has the energy to focus on anything else. anyone he perceived to be part of the organization was an immediate target, and that's basically everyone he meets. so you have to be real special right off the bat for him to even not think about killing you. and lucky for you, you were his sister's best friend. you weren't part of the organization, you were safe. you could be trusted.
so when someone tries hurting you, it's like the entire world narrows down to that person. crystal would hate if anything happened to you, and nathan... seeing your face contort in pain had this sick feeling in his chest. you were terrified of him, the blood on his hands sticking to your skin as he pulls you into a suffocating hug, his heart pounding. the thought of losing you had never occurred to him, and while he doesn't label the feeling as love, he definitely doesn't plan on letting anything happen to you. no matter what, he'll keep you safe.
ZERO — cannot feel love the way other people feel it. love isn't even in her vocabulary. her only interest in this world is to kill anyone she comes across, to revel in their pain and agony because that's just how she is. yet somehow, she took an interest in you. you can kiss your normal life goodbye, because the moment she decides you're worth keeping around, she's not letting you go until she wants you dead. in her mind, you belong to her now.
so it's not love. not a healthy kind, at least. it's a desire to own, a need to claim. don't worry, though, she'll make sure to take good care of you. anyone who causes you trouble is nothing more than another story for the local news, and all she wants in return is a simple thank you and kiss on the cheek. she loves playing house with you! she'll be a great girlfriend as long as you play along.
JUDGE ANGELS — is wholly oblivious to romance as a whole. her entire life, she was sheltered. even years after becoming the murderer she is today, she never formed any bonds with people. none that were positive, at least. but then you came along. someone that dina found herself getting attached to the longer she spent time with you. she didn't understand why her heart raced whenever you got too close to her, and the feeling was overwhelming enough that she ended up pushing you away because she thought it was something bad.
with enough time, and exposure, she'll come to realize that the feelings she has for you aren't bad. she'll always be worrying about doing something wrong that'll make you hate her enough to leave her. you're the first person she's ever loved, the first person to love her. she can't lose that. just promise that you won't leave her, even if you stop loving her.
KATE THE CHASER — shouldn't have fallen in love to begin with. her sole reason of existence was slenderman, so she shouldn't care for anything else. she kept herself distant from the other proxies for that reason, because she didn't feel the need to connect with anyone. she was fine in her solitude. she wasn't meant to fall in love, so why does she feel so alive when you spend time with her?
you were always accommodating to her, visiting her when it was dark out and making sure you never shined your flashlight at her whenever you two went on walks through the forest. it's a relationship that will never work out, because proxies aren't meant to be anything but a vessel for slender. and yet, as time goes on, her feelings only get stronger and stronger, and she wonders... maybe it's okay to be selfish and indulge in you.
ROUGE THE PROXY — certainly didn't think she would fall in love after everything she's been through, and yet here she is, hovering around you like a guard dog as you dealt with the target you were meant to kill. she knew you could handle yourself, you're a proxy after all, yet she stood there, waiting. even after the mission was over, she would linger for a bit just to make sure you were safe.
her feelings for you are no secret. every proxy, including you, were aware of the special place you had in her heart. yet your relationship with her was so vague. she hasn't asked you out, but you two already act as if you're dating. it's this really strange 'will they, won't they' situation that all the proxies have made bets on. she's content with how things are now, though, so it might take time for her to actually verbalize her feelings for you.
TIM WRIGHT — is a little more confident before the events of marble hornets, so if he realizes he's in love with you during that time period, he won't have too much trouble telling you. maybe he'll need brian to hype him up a bit, and maybe he'll be a bit awkward when he does tell you that he's head over heels in love with you, but he still manages to tell you.
but tim during and after the events of marble hornets? total opposite. everyone he knew and loved died, and it's all his fault. how could he ever allow himself the privilege of your love when it's something he knows he doesn't deserve? even if you were to try and take the initiative, he'd turn you down. you can do so much better than him. getting close to him is basically signing your death certificate, and he's already lost so much. he's not sure if he can bear the pain of losing you, too.
BRIAN THOMAS — out of the entire marble hornets cast, save for maybe jessica, is the most in tune with his emotions. the moment he developed a romantic interest in you, he was asking you out. when he wasn't helping alex with marble hornets or hanging out with tim, he was taking you out on dates and solidifying his interest in you. he had actually planned on dropping the love bomb after the filming wrapped up, but...
even though he can't remember, he knows you. the man in the hoodie feels something for you. it's different from the protectiveness he feels for tim. for some reason, he doesn't want you involved in this mess. the moment jay reaches out to you and drags you in, he's doing everything he can to get you out. there were cryptic warnings directed towards you specifically, and when jay or tim weren't around, you'd sometimes catch him watching. you were scared, but you had made a vow that you wouldn't back out until you find brain.
JAY MERRICK — didn't think he'd really fall in love with someone while investigating the tapes, but he did. hard. he had met you early on since you were the first person part of the marble hornets crew he was able to get into contact with. it's almost scary how easily you guys hit it off. before things went to shit, jay really thought you two would become good friends. and unfortunately, jay doesn't realize he's in love with you until he's dying.
his entire life flashed before his eyes the moment alex shot that gun, and all he could think about was you. you, who stood by his side throughout this whole experience. you, who desperately tried to keep him from getting in too deep. you, who he had carelessly shrugged off because the operator's influence was far too strong. he can only hope you make it out of this hell alive.
ALEX KRALIE — will never realize he's in love with you post-operator. the feelings will be there, but he's already too far gone to go deep into what they might mean. all he knows is that he's desperate to kill you first, to get you out of this mess early on. it's because you two are close friends, that's all. and the hollow feeling left afterwards if he's successful is a price he's willing to pay.
but pre-operator alex will find himself falling in love with you when you support his passions. the moment he talks about marble hornets with you, you're passionate about supporting him, and it had him getting all nervous. he'll even offer you a role in the project, either as an actor or just crew if you're not comfortable with being filmed. anything to be able to spend more time with you. he had planned on asking you out on an official date when filming wrapped up.
JESSICA LOCKE — is stuttering over her own words the moment she locks eyes with you for the first time, because she is just that captivated by you. it's not love at first sight, but she definitely wants to take you out on a date. it's only with amy's encouragement that she actually does, and you two just... naturally hit it off that it sorta became a casual thing.
but she realizes she's in love with you when all this shit with marble hornets has blown over, and you're the first person she thinks of. she'd been missing for months, and you probably thought she had ghosted you. it's a little mortifying, honestly. she can't explain what happened, but she hopes you'll be willing to let her back into your life. because she really really really wants to be your girlfriend.
Warning: Toxic relationships, harassment, blood, idealization, obscene things, obsession, mention of homophobia, degradation, lack of respect for consent, some weird stuff here, Zero and Kate have something with menstrual blood, knife game.
Deep down, Nina is very insecure, partly due to Jeff's cruel and humiliating rejection. She thinks you'll make fun of her or, worse, point out her flaws when she approaches you. If, by some twist of fate, you two happen to get along well, she won't make any moves toward romance because she believes it's better to remain friends first. Sometimes you catch her staring at your face or figure while she's embarrassed by her actions. She'll start obsessively dressing up to please you, researching your type to win you over, even if it means breaking herself. She wants acceptance at all costs. You want a blonde? There she is. You want a more feminine girl? She'll start wearing nicer clothes often. You want a strong girl? She'll go to the gym. JUST LOVE HER AND GIVE HER A CHANCE ALREADY!
If you accept her, she'll be happy, but you'll have to deal with her mood swings in public. Did you look at a girl more than usual? It's probably because you like her more than her because she's not as flat as her. Did a man flirt with you? She's planning to become one herself and then ruin the creep who won't stop staring at you. She's uncomfortable with sex and relationships in general; she's insecure about her body. Although she won't hesitate to do anything if you ask, as long as she doesn't take her clothes off. She'll help you with your hair and makeup; if you don't let her, she'll start accusing you of not loving her enough. As a bonus, Nina smells your clothes—not just your underwear, but all your clothes, especially if they're sweaty. She also has dark circles under her eyes from watching you sleep for hours. Premium stalker.
"I'll do anything you want, just let me show you how happy I can make you if you're my girlfriend!"
The first thing she feels when she meets you is jealousy of your beauty. It's not that she hates you, she just hates being near you with such an ugly face. Since her last encounter with Jeff, she no longer has the same confidence she had when she didn't need to cover her face all day, even from herself. She can't stand looking in the mirror; it's painful even while brushing her teeth every morning. So when she meets someone like you, who isn't afraid to show their pretty face, it hurts her. In other circumstances, she would be the one to approach you first with a smile. It will take a lot of effort to get Jane to sit with you and talk for more than five minutes. If you're patient, you'll start to see her confidence in you blossom. In fact, she'll probably feel more confident with you than to shower together without covering her face. It means a lot to her, more than you think.
Jane quickly becomes the dominant partner in the relationship, both in and out of bed. She cooks for you, dresses you, and offers to bathe you when you mention that she doesn't let you do anything. She says she's just looking out for you, but she's really trying to control you. She doesn't want you to bathe; she thinks that if you let go for even a moment, you might go off with someone more like you, at least in terms of appearances. She doesn't want to force you to do anything, but there are times when she's selfish. Sometimes you'll notice her roughly pulling you in for a kiss when you mention going out, or how she digs her black nails into your waist when you mention someone else's name. Everything with Jane is rosy if you ignore certain things in your relationship.
"My dear, I'm just saying there's no need to go out when we still have food here, let's go to the room instead, okay?"
At first, she doesn't want to get close to you because she thinks you're just your typical school slut who thinks she's all that because she's pretty. Until she gets to know you a little and sees that you're just as beautiful on the inside, she's not very aware of her attraction to women. She's never had a girlfriend, just casual crushes and sexual encounters, but nothing too serious, simply because she wants to avoid men. She doesn't really know how to flirt or seduce someone, so her behavior around you is sometimes scary. Staring, sometimes she has obsessive behavior similar to Tim's. She's a girl with mental health issues, what did you expect? Sometimes she'll start arguments over anything just because she doesn't know how to handle being in love; she thinks it will make her weak and fragile, like before.
The worst part of this could be that she might have a fit of rage and end up hurting you with a weapon she's carrying, a knife or a razor. Afterward, she'll start pulling her hair and screaming, saying it's not her fault she's like this, that she's very distrustful. She doesn't want you to leave her; she wants a healthy relationship, but she's never witnessed one in her life. Perhaps the healthiest thing about her is that she respects your privacy and consent when it comes to relationships and affection. She's already suffered from that kind of treatment and won't repeat it in any way. Her way of expressing love is through acts of service, such as massages, anything related to hair care (even though she's not very good at it), cooking something for you (though again, it's nothing special; she only cooks instant food and what she hunts). She hopes you'll appreciate it and love her.
"Hey...sorry about that, uh, do you want some meat and potatoes? You know, to fix things up a bit?"
She feels nostalgic around you; you remind her of her former self, before she was involuntarily transformed into a monstrous creature. She can't speak, so you don't know if she's just staring at you or trying to make you uncomfortable somehow. It's terrifying because she literally looks like a zombie. She doesn't know how to interact with you, so you'll have to approach her first and try not to mind being the only one talking in the room. Sometimes, out of nowhere, she'll trace your skin with her fingers, which are covered in multiple scars and stitches. She's drawn to the difference in your skin. So you can expect quite a bit of physical contact between you.
The relationship can thrive if you don't show fear or disgust towards her from the start. In fact, if you show kindness and even treat her like anyone else, suggesting simple activities like painting your nails, it truly helps her heal internally. Thanks to your effort, she may begin communicating with you through notes so you don't feel alone talking. Regarding toxicity, she dislikes being left alone, especially for someone else, which sometimes leads her to use her superhuman strength or even her chainsaw to verbally threaten you into forgetting to leave. Loneliness is what hurts her the most; it has been her greatest enemy since her metamorphosis, so this topic is quite sensitive for her. Although she seems reluctant and violent, she is intelligent, somewhat brusque, but a good companion overall if you give her the chance.
Dina is someone who was very isolated by her father figure from childhood, with a touch of religious trauma in the background. Because of this, she's never had genuine connections in her life, nor did she go to school, so she knows nothing about social labels, and she's also had no experience or luck in love. When she meets you, you remind her of the illustrations in the princess stories her mother used to read to her at bedtime. She doesn't quite know how to describe what she feels for you; in fact, she thinks her instinct is telling her you're not trustworthy. She doesn't know much about the concept of beauty, but she notices that people around you give you a lot of compliments, which makes her a little jealous. This is what she longed for as a child: acceptance.
The more her feelings develop, the stranger she becomes. In fact, one day she'll confront you with her sword because of how you make her feel. She's afraid; her father instilled in her that loving someone of the same sex is a sin. But then she runs away because she doesn't want to hurt you. Part of her doesn't want you to see her, because of her exotic eye color. If you accept her and show that you're capable of loving and caring for her, she'll gradually open up to you over time. She shows her love and admiration through poems or acts of service; your relationship has a sweet, vanilla feel. But she's very emotionally manipulative. If you deny her time or go out with someone else, she'll cry and claim you're neglecting her. She's even capable of making someone you love look bad to justify hurting them. Patience will be essential with her at all times.
"I'm not trying to be mean, but I don't think you should hang out with that person. I don't like them. You'd be better off staying with me."
Run. She loves to break or find ways to corrupt anything she considers beautiful. She's no stranger to love or relationships; in all the time she's been single, she's been with men for sex or simply to find victims more easily. At first, she wants to use you and discard you, but she finds pleasure and appreciation in you, something she's never felt for any of her other relationships. Don't be fooled; she's truly evil and toxic. She'll coerce you and make you understand that you must obey her every command. This includes the disappearance of your consent; she'll make you believe that your only purpose is to satisfy her. She's a fan of rough sex; she'll slash your skin, choke you, hit you, deny you orgasm, and is even capable of spitting on you while cruelly degrading you.
She practically kidnaps you because she finds you visually captivating, but don't expect special treatment. She'll cheat on you with anyone, but you can't do the same to her because you're her plaything. Even during your period, she won't leave you alone and will force you to perform oral sex on her. If you misbehave, she'll make you perform it on her while a knife is held to your throat. She calls you a bitch or a doll most of the time, depending on her mood. She's not someone to fight; she doesn't feel pain and is resourceful in a fight, especially if she has her hammer nearby. In the worst-case scenario, she'll get bored of fighting you, beat you to a pulp, and humiliate you, leaving you to die alone.
"Open your legs, bitch, or would you prefer I help you?"
Your appearance bothers her; your presence annoys her almost constantly, especially your eyes. The first time you meet, she's incredibly rude and curt, even going so far as to pull your hair and throw you to the ground simply because she feels threatened. If she does become fond of you for some reason, she'll be a spoiled brat most of the time. Don't be fooled by her calm voice and demeanor; she wants to be your sole focus of attention and will tear the eyes out of anyone who shows you even the slightest bit of it. That said, she's an insecure girl, though it's not always obvious. She can have panic attacks at the mere thought that one day you might not come back to her, leaving you stuck in this strange romantic dynamic.
I won't lie to you, some relationships with creepypastas almost inevitably end in tragedy, and this is one of them. Lulu might conclude that the only way she can keep you with her permanently is by preserving you through death (meaning she'll taxidermy you) or she'll simply keep your eyes and locks of hair. She'll also preserve your clothes and wear them to try to feel less guilty. She doesn't want to blame herself for your death, but she can't help shedding tears over the clothes you left behind, especially the ones in her favorite color, purple. Lulu might also try making drawings or dolls (perhaps similar to voodoo dolls) so she won't forget you and will continue to have memories of you in almost everything she sees around her.
"I don't have to apologize for anything, you're the one who should and you don't understand what's happening to me."
You've literally just adopted a ferocious dog, but you haven't realized it yet. Kate is primarily attracted to your scent; it was probably your perfume or your natural smell that drew her to you in the first place, more than your physical appearance. Secondly, she has a morbid fascination with your skin. She loves to nibble and lick it after blood starts to flow from the wound she inflicted. You probably didn't let her carry you, since there's a high probability she'll stuff you in a bag and carry you like a sack of potatoes, or in the worst-case scenario, drag you with her teeth and claws. Kate is difficult to understand because she always behaves like a wild animal. One minute she's digging a hole to crawl into and attack anyone who comes near, and the next she'll jump into the shower with you uninvited and press herself against you to feel you. This usually ends in oral sex.
Kate's pursuit of you intensifies when you're menstruating. She has an incredibly keen sense of smell, similar to Eyeless Jack's, so blood is the most alluring scent to her. When she discovers it's coming from you, you'll be praying for your period to end quickly. She's violent when she wants you, dragging you to her room and stripping you naked to start eating your pussy like an animal that hasn't eaten in days. Your comfort will also determine the pain you endure during these assaults; the more you struggle, the more you'll be hit. She's rarely affectionate at times, throwing herself on top of you in the middle of the night to feel your warmth. Your appearance doesn't matter to her, but the attention you give her does, so she'll tear the face off anyone who shows you physical affection.
She's similar to Kate in her bluntness and determination to get what she wants. When you first meet her, she's wary, perhaps even mocking her appearance or scars. If you overlook that, she'll start to be attracted to you. If you show attraction, she'll hesitate to take the next step, remembering her late fiancé. So, after a night in her bed fueled by sex and beer, she might leave immediately afterward. It will take a long time for her to become open to anything more romantic and sexual. That's when she starts to take control of your life, manipulating your decisions, even what you wear. She's insecure about you finding someone else and being alone again. So, no low-cut tops, shorts, or miniskirts when you go out.
She's cold most of the time, but she has her playful moments to cheer you up. Her affection is shown more in acts of service, like trying to cook for you, giving you massages when you share a shower, or stealing clothes or makeup for you (don't ask where she got them). She hides her relationship with her fellow proxies, especially Brian and Tim, because she doesn't get along with them and they're capable of taking it out on you in disgusting ways. She also doesn't trust Toby because he's not very good at keeping secrets from Tim or Brian. She's violent or evasive when you ask her about the cause of her scars or the bloodstains on her clothes. There's a low probability that she'll kill you with a gunshot or strangle you with a pillow if the Operator orders her to, but it's possible.
"Don't get so upset over something I said! I really do love you, just give me a chance to show you."
How would the pastas react to you giving them a love letter..
Clockwork:
She takes the note from your hand, eyeing it suspiciously. Now, she's not one to read things publicly, so she takes it back to her room and opens it. She reads it, and in the following days she becomes nicer to you..You don't know why. She's never been good at expressing affection, but she makes life easier for you.
Nina:
You and Nina were just playing a game, right? Writing love letters to your crush, but your face drops when she takes your note from your hand. She reads it, her eyes scanning each letter and word. Before you know it, she's on your lips. Her makeup smearing as she tears up. She's always been affectionate with you, but even more-so now.
Jane:
You left your note on the counter on accident, you spent all night writing it out, pouring your heart into it. You wake up in the morning and Jane is sitting at the counter, drinking coffee with your note in her hand. She holds it out for you to take, and written under it, you notice it says "I'd love to go out with you" in eyeliner.
Zero:
She walked in while you were writing it, and had a feeling you were doing something important. She always had those feelings when it came to you, no matter when or where. Instead of saying anything, she laced her hand with yours and hugged you from behind. She was worried you'd forget about her, too.
Kate:,
Your crush on her was so obvious that half the mansion knew, but still, you gave her your note. She had read it on the couch in the living room, she looked up at you and pulled you down to sit next to her. The note was left discarded beside her as she lay her head on you. She hated physical touch, but she felt content there with you.
Synopsis: Growing up together, you always felt like the odd one out from Zero and Yuki, akin to a third-wheel to their close dynamic. Once his vampire tendencies kick in, you become his closest confidant for meal times. You loved Zero and would selflessly sacrifice anything for him, thinking that it all one-sided. You misconstruted the depths of his affections for you, and how far he would go for your sake, before he would ever let anything, including himself, hurt you.
Pairing: Soft Yandere! Zero x Fem! Reader
Warning: As this is yandere fiction, this deals with themes and implications of unhealthy relationships that can be uncomfortable or triggering to read. Read at your own risk. This work is purely fictional, I do not condone this behaviour irl. By clicking 'read more/keep reading', you are consenting to read this at your discretion. No beta - we die like men!
Your carried a heavy weight in your heart, not just from having lost your family from a young age like Yuki and Zero, but also from unrequired love. Growing up, despite his cold demeaner, Zero was always gentle and tender towards you. Often, he wrapped you in warm blankets during the cold and frosty nights, and made you hot cocoa drinks to hold in your small mitten-covered hands so they always stayed extra warm.
Particularly, near the start of your life with Kaien Cross, Yuki, and Zero, after Kaien had just taken you in because a vampire had killed your parents and you were the last to join their trio, evidently, you were grieving your lost family. Grievance was accompanied by depression, and on those first nights when you felt so lonely and heart-broken from losing your parents, it was Zero who always sat beside you in silence, and it was Zero who took extra care of you when you couldn't even get out of bed.
Ever the gentle soul he was, he took extra caution during these times to wash your hair and hands with the utmost care, and brush your hair to work through the all the tangles softly and painlessly. With the amount of affection and care he showed you, especially when you had needed it the most, how could you not come to love him?
For that reason, when Zero was attacked and turned into a vampire, when he went through his worst and loneliest experience, you held no reservations towards offering your body to him. You loved him, sincerely, from the bottom of your heart; so, you let him do whatever he needed to survive the night, drink as much of your blood as he needed to satiate his hunger.
No matter how much it hurt, emotionally, because your heart broke each time he still held you so carefully, tenderly, despite his animalistic vampire instinct overriding all logic and knowing that he would never return your feelings; heart-break, because the love of your life did not think the same about you, and physically, because his sharp fangs broke your skin so easily and then, he drank the life out of you, you never said no - you couldn't. You loved him too much and would do anything to take even a little bit of his pain away.
Slowly, your eyes started to shut involuntarily, as the last of your consciousness slowly slipped away, and you felt the ghost of life starting to leave you. Despite the pain, the ache, you smiled softly, even in your last moments, because if you died in a manner that was useful to Zero, it was a reason worth dying for.
The last whispers of life never fully left your breath, because the moment he realised how much he had indulged, Zero shrieked in horror, and viciously dug his sharp nails into his own forearm painfully to interrupt himself out of whatever daze he was stuck in, and moved himself away from you. His eyes glowed a brilliant blood red against the darkness of your bedroom, and your blood was stained in the corner of his lips, dripping down his neck. His eyes widened in horror, and he watched as colour slowly returned to your face from when he had pulled away, and you gasped for air, trying to breath life in. However, ever the privy to his thoughts of self-harm as self-inflicted punishment for being a vampire, you pushed away your pain, moved closer to him, and gripped his hands firmly in yours.
"I-I hurt you again. I-I can't do this, I can't let myself lose it like that again, not towards you. I deserve to die, take the bloody rose and shoot me! Shoot me so I can't hurt you like this again, please!" Zero cried, and he tried to take the attached gun, and shove it in your hands for you to actually do what he said.
You shook your head, and cradled his face in your hands with shaky hands, and hugged him tightly - well, as tightly you could while being on the brink of death.
"It wasn't your fault, I agreed, remember? You know I'll always help you, no matter what." You whispered, and the white-haired vampire easily returned your embrace, and clutch you tighter.
"I know, and that's exactly why I don't deserve it, I only ever hurt you. I don't want to do that, I love you too much, and only want to make you happy. Because I swear, to you, that I rather hurt, starve, and kill myself, before ever allow myself be the reason for your death. If that ever happens, I'm going to use the bloody rose right then and there to give myself what I deserve."

Can I offer you all a desperate, yearning, soft-yandere Zero x absolute simp and emotionally dependant darling angst to start the new year anyone?
