Request: For my second request I would like for Haruhi (OHSHC), Misa (Death Note), Asa (Chainsaw Man), Uruaka (MHA), Kiyoko and Hinata (Haikyu), Rin and Bachira (Blue Lock), Illumi and Pokkle (HXH) where their darling is confessing to the yandere that they feel the same as them and return their feelings for them, but says they can't be together because they are both the same gender? and tells the yanderes “I wish you were a boy/girl?”

🤎All you receive from Illumi after you have told him that the two of you can't be together because he is a man is that long and blank stare accompanied with the wonderful awkward silence that disables you to speak up. Frankly spoken, Illumi doesn't care too much about the fact that he has fallen in love with another man. No, he is quite confused instead as he doesn't understand why you instead reject him despite feeling the same. The way he tilts his head would be almost cute if his eyes wouldn't pierce your very soul at the moment. When he eventually asks you if you could explain it to him all whilst he finally blinks threateningly slow the tension in the air is so thick that you could cut it with a knife. No matter how you explain it to him though, your words hold no weight in his mind. The only thing that matters to him is the fact that you reciprocate his emotions and if someone within your surroundings stops the two of you, he will kill them. It's as simple as that. Once you are within the walls of the Zoldyck mansion Illumi will make sure that no one questions the two of you. As long as he fucks someone and has some heirs he is free to love whoever he wants after all.
Pokkle
🏹Pokkle goes through the five stages of grief only that he never arrives at the stage of acceptance. He's in denial at the beginning because within all of his infatuation and all the insecurities somehow he never once considered that maybe you wouldn't feel attracted to him simply because he is of the same sex as you are. After the denial follows immediately the depression as he retreats from your sight. By no means is he avoiding you though, still stalking behind you though with a lot more grief within his heart. It's very likely that he is soon going to reach a breaking point though. You see, Pokkle is very much dependent on attention and love from his darling which will ultimately lead his mind to be able to only repeat one thing. That you still love him. Love conquers anything after all so why would you let yourself be stopped just because he is biologically a man? As soon as he starts drifting into that thought process it is over for you as that is the moment Pokkle will turn densely delusional out of desperation. An abduction will follow soon after as Pokkle is convinced that you just need to realise that it doesn't matter that the two of you are both men as he will prove to you that he is better than a woman.
Amane Misa
💄Whatever it is that you say to her it all becomes irrelevant in her mind the moment you make the mistake of confessing to her that you feel the same as she does. Misa immediately latches on to those words as they are the only words she hears. Misa is awfully possessive of her darling and delusional to top it all which is a dangerous combination. The first thing that she does as soon as you have ended your speech is just give you a long and giddy kiss as she decides to ignore whatever it was you spoke after admitting to her that you love her too. Why, you may ask? Because it doesn't matter to her. You return her feelings and that is all that she really needs to hear and know. Still, it is not like she is completely oblivious as you notice that she is so much clingier and affectionate whenever the two of you are around other men. Her facade is still all cute smiles but there is that dangerous look in her eyes. Jealousy is as natural as breathing for Misa and if she believes that someone is threatening your relationship, she will write his name down in her Death Note. So even if you try to get together with a man, she will ensure that he is going to drop dead in the most gruesome way possible.
Uraraka Ochaco
🎈Ochaco considered the two of you to be a wonderful match. You have known each other for so long after all. In her mind there has never been a question about who she would end up with later on in her life but she realises that she has been too optimistic when you tell her that you cannot see yourself with her because she is also a girl. She swallows it all down though and only gives you a weak smile, assuring you that it's alright. Obviously the relationship takes a turn for the worse between the two of you and she can't accept that. Something has to be done or else she is going to lose you completely. Obviously she will feel guilty the moment she starts subtly sabotaging and manipulating you but whenever she meets a guy you like, she is hard-wired to notice everything about him that you wouldn't like later on because she knows you too well. Small mistakes like inviting you to food that you don't like are already enough to have her doubt that you will be happy with him. She starts pointing out everything about appearance or personality on a guy that she knows you don't like and always speaks up when he does something you don't like to show you that she knows you best after all.
Hinata Shoyo
☀️Being heavily delusional by nature, someone like Hinata is going to be difficult to handle when it comes to any type of rejection in general. All of it is made much worse though when you foolishly confess to feeling the same way as he does though. Even as you tell him that the two of you can't be together and even if his heart is hurting, Hinata doesn't feel any despair. How could he after all? If the love between the two of you is mutual after all then there is nothing he has to be worried about. That settles it in Shoyo's mind. The two of you are a couple and the very next morning he is totally going to act his part of it. He's elated, a bright grin on his face as he tells all his friends that you reciprocate his feelings. He's affectionate, grabs your hands and hugs you from behind. Rumors quickly spread which leave you no choice but to confront him, absolutely flabbergasted and in shock from what he has done. If you are going to get angry with him be prepared for the waterworks though as Hinata will just yell back that you told him that you loved him. Why does sex even matter then when the both of you feel the same? You... you wouldn't drop him only to be together with a girl after all, would you?
Shimizu Kiyoko
🖤Kiyoko keeps a stoic expression when you admit to her your inner conflict before just giving you a curt nod and leaving. She is not someone who openly reveals her affection for you as she is for starters aware that her feelings aren't exactly your typical highschool romance and additionally she prefers observation as she would never confess mindlessly only to get her feelings hurt. In that moment she is glad that she has never revealed just how much you mean to her as otherwise things between the two of you would have been much more awkward. However, she is not completely hurt as the fact remains that you still love her too. That is something that she can work with. There is after all a path that can be taken in this situation and all she has to do is build it now. Perhaps it is time to step out of her shell and show you just how much she cares about you and how well she knows you. She will swiftly and bluntly point out everything at fault within a guy when you introduce him to her the moment she notices that he says or does something you are uncomfortable with all whilst she herself inserts herself more into your life, providing the support and assistance that you need in that moment.
Fujioka Haruhi
👑Haruhi is to her defence not going to be your biggest worry that you have in the beginning. I would consider Tamaki to be the bigger menace at first when he finds out that Haruhi has been dumped by you because she is a girl. He's extremely protective of her and is most likely going to tell you multiple sob stories in the hope that you may reconsider your words. To Haruhi herself gender has never really mattered that much as she doesn't think that it should restrict someone within society, a very open-minded opinion that you don't seem to share. To her it has never mattered that you are a girl but it matters to you and a part of her understands where those prejudices may come from. It is not within Haruhi's assets to beat around the bush though, she is going to be very straightforward and ask you soon for a clearer reason for why exactly you can't be together with her. If you wouldn't be into girls it would be one thing but since you have confessed to her that you return her love she knows that this isn't the case which is why she is unwilling to give up. She's still friendly and welcoming but Haruhi is very stubborn and the topic will come up in conversations since she doesn't see the need to lie.
Mikata Asa
▪️Asa isn't in general known as someone who deals with failure or anything that doesn't go her way very well so this is initially not going to end up any better. The moment you tell her that you can't be together with you her initial reaction is to simply insult you and everyone she knows you have a friendly relationship with. All of her pain is buried deep within as she exposes her mean-spirited side before she walks away with her chin held high. Her meltdown only happens once she is all alone and has no one to project her pain on anymore, spiralling down into her hole of insecurity and self-hatred. She wants to prove herself as worthy, she wants you to choose her but she lacks any comprehension of social skills to do so. However, if there is one thing that she latches on to it is the fact that you admitted that you still love her even though you can't be with her. That has to mean something, doesn't it? It's those words she clings to, it's those words that push her to go on with a constant mixture of anger, jealousy and hope within her. She stalks you everywhere you go, she insults every man that gets too close with you all whilst she tries in a severely wrong attempt to show you her worth.
Bachira Meguru
💛I'll just be honest and say right away that he is not going to care about what you have to say. Bachira gladly allows his delusional streak to solve all problems for him which allows for such an unmatched level of optimism which you would better not break. You just have to make it worse by admitting to him your own feelings which only solidifies everything within Bachira's thoughts as his actions from that day on are justified. You love him so there should be no problem at all for any of his actions after all. If you try to avoid him the best of luck because this guy is going to pop up everywhere where you are. Not to mention the lovely surprise visits that he likes to do, appearing unannounced in front of your door and asking to be let in with a grin on his face. He's so handsy with you, it is almost maddening. Meguru is constantly touching you somehow. He jumps on your back from behind, he tugs at your sleeves when he wants attention, he grabs your hand in his and drags you away from someone that he finds annoying. You're not going to be able to shake him off as Meguru is the human definition of a leech who won't let go. His behavior is very risky to be honest.
Itoshi Rin
🩵Differently from Bachira Rin is much more subtle with everything though perhaps that is going to make him more dangerous than disturbing. He leaves you alone after your rejection but you would misjudge the situation severely if you were to believe that he is trying to accept everything. It's actually the complete opposite as Rin tries to tame his own demons and think of a way to get you back to his side. He can't let things slip through his hands, he can't let every single person leave him in the dust just because he isn't enough, isn't what others want him to be. It's that desperation that drives him quite far in any attempt to assure that you don't get any saying. What I'm trying to say is that after having watched the second season and having seen his flow that I believe Rin to get very destructive when he snaps which then puts everyone around you at a risk because his sole drive then is to destroy everyone who stands in his way. He starts blackmailing all sorts of people and he won't even have enough care left to spare your closed ones and you yourself get a very good slice of this ugly side of his that contrasts his normal stoic behavior on every single level.
❄️Jack is an individual who has been assigned to be the Guardian of Fun and who happens to be the spirit of Winter on top of it. Spreading joy to children is his duty and despite being a few centuries old already, not once has he ever entertained thoughts about doing anything else. Falling in love is therefore something he neither expected nor could prepare for and as his heart is still that of a young boy, Jack very much acts like an infatuated teenager who has fallen in love for the first time. To be fair, it is his first time but it is the sheer sappiness of his love which has some of the Guardians roll their eyes in annoyance. Whilst his overall duties remain the same, Jack begins to develop a new hobby which is to make sure that you especially are happy and his heart is doing sommersaults whenever he manages to make you smile. What he feels for you is something different to what he feels when he fulfills his duties by bringing children joy yet it is the fact that his heart only reacts like this when it is you specifically that very quickly makes it very addicting. It is a type of happiness only your presence seems to provide and out of impulsiveness due to being unable to contain his feelings it happens multiple times that Jack acts out of line by using his abilities to help you which often results in the other guardians scolding him.
Delusional
❄️The Guardian of Fun. The Spirit of Winter. Powerful positions held by someone who died far too young as a human to have ever experienced what true love is and how to behave once he falls in love. He cannot just simply act around you like he would do around other children and that at least is something that he deep down realises. However, none of the Guardians can really help him as all of them ensure the joy of children worldwide and do not often bother with children once they grow up and become adults. It is a blind stumble as a result as Jack doesn't know what to do with his feelings and how to express his own wishes to you. How strange that is in the first place. Normally the Guardians answer the wishes of children yet here he is, fervently wishing for someone his age when he used to be a human to not only notice him but understand what he wants as well. If someone should bring up that he as a Guardian should not desire closeness to you in the first place, his old rebellious side is inevitably going to return once more. It's not like he plans to drop his duties. He can multitask. He... He just wants to ensure that you will always be happy in life and he wishes to be that person who always makes you smile. Adults are boring after all. He on the other hand is the Guardian of Fun.
Honest
❄️He's spent his entire existence not being seen by children and that has always pained him deep down. Honestly, there are definitely unaddressed issues due to centuries of being invisible to even children which lead Jack to his sometimes very reckless behavior of being seen by you. It's not unlikely that he has witnessed children being able to see him before losing the ability as they got older and were overwhelmed by adult duties. It's terrifying to witness children growing up only for their childlike dreams and hopes to be crushed over the years and he is paranoid that the same will happen to you. That's why he doesn't play any games as he attempts to not only be seen but also to express his feelings for you and to have them returned. The longer this takes though, the more extreme does he get. It may literally snow in your bedroom as your windows are covered with frost shaped like flowers as he is always hovering nearby, close to crying when you cannot perceive him. The first time you eventually notice him he is going to shed some tears before he hurriedly expresses his feelings and that he has been watching you for a longer time now. It's through his delusional lenses that he probably doesn't understand that things like stalking you or being in your room would unnerve you as you are no child anymore.
Lenient
❄️There is nothing that would kill joy and fun quicker than being imprisoned. Despite the small twist within his life that the obsession has provided, Jack still values his duties as a Guardian. He doesn't wish to be feared. He only wishes to provide others with happiness and laughter. It's through his own moral codex amplified now by his duties as a Guardian which make him despise the thought of restricting and isolating you as he himself understands all too well what it feels like to be stuck with no way out. He wants to be the reason you smile and laugh every day Additionally it's way more comfortable having you remain in your house as he wouldn't want other Guardians to be noisy if he were to bring you to one of their shared hideouts.. There may also be a somewhat sinister implication you occasionally get where Jack expresses his confidence in being able to find you literally anywhere and considering his position as the immortal Guardian, he isn't wrong either. Whilst it is meant as something romantic in his mind is only understood as an inevitable threat in your ears as you begin to wonder if it would take moving to a country with no snow to even have a fighting chance of not being found.
summary: when the jealousy becomes unbearable, he realizes his love for you and decides to finally commit.
w.c: 1.6k
content: situationship!yuno x reader, 90% angst, 10% fluff (if you squint), arguing, yuno angry, yuno jealous, just y/n about to go insane like all girlies in a ‘more than friends less than lovers’ status with someone, good ending
a/n: ok so this was supposed to be a multiple characters thing but i decided to just post them individually because 1) i’m on writer’s block as always, 2) it’s kinda long like my unfinished nozel one was already at 1.6k, 3) i finished this piece way back and i don’t want it to go to waste just because i cant finish writing the other characters i planned for this fic lol anyway i plan to write nozel, yami, and fuegoleon for this and the nozel one is almost finished hehe
it’s been 2 months since you and yuno formed a bond you thought was doomed to be in limbo for eternity.
what started off as an almost kiss, an almost declaration of romantic feelings for each other ended up as him clearing his throat, running his fingers through his hair, avoiding your gaze, making and unmaking his mind, and then finally muttering an “i’m sorry, y/n. perhaps i’m not ready yet.”
you being a good sport replied with a "it's alright. friends?" and offering your hand for a him to shake which he gladly took.
"friends."
but this so called friend of yours looks at you like he wants to kiss you, holds your hand under the table, traces circles on your thigh with his finger when you're nervous, tucks your hair behind your ear… and the list goes on.
people have been noticing (and talking, because people are gossiping freaks) but to your dismay and growing frustration, when asked about the nature of your relationship yuno only shrugs.
to be fair, you never really questioned him about the status of your relationship. but with yuno’s ascension to vice captain, you become more and more worried about the attention he was getting from other women.
worried to the point of going insane.
"you're losing sleep over it, y/n. you really need to talk to him." mimosa said.
she's right. this has to be addressed as soon as possible.
but yuno is evasive; so skillful at dodging the important questions, so good at slipping between your fingers like sand. and you let him anyway.
“we’ll talk later.” he pats you on the head then flies away.
but that later never comes and you feel yourself spiraling.
jesus christ y/n. get a fucking grip, you thought.
mimosa could sense the change in you and thought of catching you before you truly hit rock bottom. and so she yanked you out of the headquarters and took you to the capital—girl’s day out, she said.
as you strolled around the plaza, your mind kept wandering back to yuno. mimosa had to steer you back to reality every now and then.
“y/n, y/n! let’s go to that cafe i told you about a few days ago!”
“oh, right. lead the way, mimosa!”
you silently thanked her for her persistence in keeping you from falling apart.
as you collected your drinks from the counter, a pack of rowdy black bulls hollered and asked you to come sit with them.
“mimosa, y/n! it’s been a while!” noelle chirped, scooting over to make space for the two of you.
while everyone was in their own universe talking or sipping their drinks, you too slipped into your own yuno centered world. not a single noise from your surroundings could keep you away from your thoughts. noelle quirked an eyebrow and elbowed mimosa.
“is y/n okay?” she whispered.
mimosa hesitated, unsure of what and what not to say.
“well… y/n has…” she moved closer to noelle’s ear. “…boy problems.”
noelle snorted, quite loudly actually, but you didn’t move an inch. she was no stranger to boy troubles herself but it amused her how tormented you seem to be.
“y/n, what flavor did you get?” noelle spoke as loudly as she can, hoping to get your attention.
“hm? oh… um… blueberry.” you were slammed back down to earth. you noticed that the ice had already melted but the drink itself was untouched
“not to your liking, i suppose? perhaps you’d like mine, it’s strawberry!”
“oh, no, it’s alright noelle. i just don’t have the appetite for anything, is all.”
noelle turned to mimosa. “that bad, huh?”
to which mimosa just nodded, a sad expression on her face.
“i should have ordered that instead!” asta exclaimed, staring at the cup in front of you.
“you can have it if you want, asta. i didn’t touch it anyway,” you smiled.
outside the cafe, the troubler happened to pass by. he came from patrolling the borders and was on his way back to the base but upon spotting you decided to pause his journey. he stood there peering through the window.
who’s this you’re with? mimosa and… black bulls? conversing and laughing with asta?
yuno frowned. maybe it was the fatigue catching up to him but he felt a sudden pang of irritation.
but he continued to watch. he saw you push your drink towards asta, your hand still there. in the process of grabbing it, asta’s hand enveloped yours and momentarily brushed against each other. you looked curiously at his hand, and turned it over. asta was explaining something. you nodded along, your fingers tracing the calluses on his palm.
that was the last straw for yuno.
he pushed the door of the cafe forcefully and stomped his way towards you and your companions. when he made his presence known, the unsuspecting black bulls members greeted him as usual.
“hey, yuno!” asta greeted him cheerfully. yuno ignored him, his gaze steadily on the intertwined hands on the table.
asta’s smile faded and quickly retrieved his hand from your grasp. he laughed nervously and scratched his head, finding ways to get away from the tense situation.
both noelle and mimosa gulped and placed their gaze elsewhere. you on the otherhand felt a flood of emotions inside your ribcage. you forced the floodgates of your heart shut but leaks were there regardless.
“y/n.” yuno finally spoke.
“what?” you say, not bothering to look up.
“we need to talk.” he spoke calmly as to not cause a scene.
“oh now? i’m kind of busy. maybe later.”
yuno sighed—that lengthy, deep sigh he does when he’s annoyed or getting impatient.
and so the floodgates finally burst open.
“you’ve been delaying this talk for days, yuno. now i have to agree to your terms because suddenly it’s convenient for you?!?! that’s not fair! and let me remind you, WE’RE NOT EVEN TOGETHER!”
you stormed out of the cafe pushing your way past the crowds. but yuno is faster. he caught up to you and held your wrist.
you tried to wriggle out of his grasp but he wouldn’t let go. you sighed dejectedly and turned to face him. yuno slipped his arm around your waist and carried you to a nearby rooftop.
“i’m tired of playing this game, yuno.” you rubbed your temples. “why do we keep doing this?”
“i know, i know. i’m sorry… it’s just—”
“i get it, you’re not ready. yes, i’m well aware.”
yuno said nothing. you looked at him from the corner of your eye. he seemed to be lost in thought. you pushed on.
“look, i think it would do us both good if we just end whatever it is that’s going on between the two of us—friendship and all.”
“no.” he blurted out.
you knit your brows in confusion. “what do you me—”
“please let me speak, y/n.”
you hesitated but nodded anyway.
“today i realized some things: that my feelings for you are stronger than i anticipated…”
he smiled softly.
“…and that i cannot bear the thought of you being with someone else.”
oh!
you searched his face for any sign of insincerity, the anticipation of him taking back his words was throbbing in your chest.
“that is the truth?” you manage to say.
“yes.” he breathed out, still holding your gaze. he looked as if he was pleading with you.
his words seemed to be genuine but you cannot shake the fear that lay in the back of your mind. you’ve been a willing participant in this game with yuno for months. and now that you’ve decided you no longer want to be held a prisoner of your feelings for him, he stands before you confessing his feelings—words you longed to hear. you just couldn’t believe it.
“what is it?”
“i just…” your fingers fiddled with the hem of your skirt. “i’m quite torn…”
yuno frowned. “then how can i help you make up your mind? tell me, y/n.”
you looked straight into the distance. “i don’t know… and frankly, i don’t know what i want anymore…”
he sighed, running his hands through his hair. a tense silence hung in the air as you watched the capital lights twinkle below you.
“y/n…” he sighed. a shiver ran through your spine as he delicately spoke your name. “if you want me to walk away, then i will.”
you open your mouth to speak but shut it quickly, realizing you don’t really know what to say.
“i know i hurt you numerous times and for that i’m truly sorry.” he continued. “i like you, i really do. i came here with one goal in mind—to be wizard king. falling in love with you was never part of my plan.
“no matter what i do i couldn’t stop thinking about you. i thought running away from my feelings will ease the burden but look at where that got me.
he chuckled.
“i’m sorry, y/n. i didn’t mean for it to end this way. i—” he licked his lips. “i will make things right. just please give me another chance.”
you slowly faced him, your doe like eyes glassy and heart beating rapidly. you were so in love with him.
“you promise? no more mind games?”
yuno exhaled. he didn’t realize he was holding his breath as he watched you.
“yes. i promise.” he cupped your cheek and kissed your forehead.
your defenses finally collapsed. he pulled you close as you sobbed and cursed him again and again for those agonizing months.
yuno chuckled and thought, i probably deserve that.
but to him, at that very moment, the important thing is you are finally his.
while there is no denying that chōbei is a terrifying opponent and a complete sadist on the battlefield, when it comes to you it’s almost like he becomes a different person entirely — more considerate, more intentional, more protective, more willing to slow down and listen, and gentle with you in a way that’s so clumsy and unfamiliar to him that you’d be forgiven for almost forgetting just how threatening your dearly beloved can truly be
there is nothing that he will not do in order to keep you safe and to ensure that he can stay by your side, with his treatment of you mirroring how he treats his younger brother in that way. and while that, naturally, can and does include committing various violent acts and shedding lots of blood, it can and has also involved him swallowing his pride and playing the docile, flattering captive just to ensure that he can get back to you in one piece
he prides himself on being the resourceful provider of your little family unit and can be a bit resistant to letting you take care of him in return, but if you’re together for long enough and are convincing enough in your arguments he can eventually accept you doting on him — just as long as you don’t go so far as to ‘baby’ him, and as long as you take care of his little brother too (he appreciates the more affectionate acts of service, don’t get him wrong, but things like cooking and cleaning and managing camp shouldn’t just be done ‘for’ him in his mind and he’ll be much more appreciative if you go the extra mile to make things a bit more equal)
chōbei is exceptionally strong, courtesy of his life as a bandit, and as such is more than capable of picking you up and carrying you around should the need ever arise — e.g. you’re sick or injured or exhausted and are unable to carry yourself back to camp — and don’t even try to protest because he will not hear it, you’re his to take care of and that’s the end of it
claims he’s not all that affected by praise or compliments, and to his credit he usually isn’t — but when they come from you, his partner, you’re much more likely to get a response out of him (bonus points if you’re complimenting him specifically on his strengths as a fighter, how cool his new tao-based abilities are, or on how safe and protected he makes you feel, but if they’re coming from you he really isn’t all that picky)
aside from your lips, his favourite places to kiss you are your neck, your palms, and the crown of your head — and his favourite places to be kissed in return are over his scars, on his lips, and the underside of his jaw
he trusts you immensely — wouldn’t be with you if he didn’t, after all — and that means that it takes a lot for him to get jealous. not protective in the ‘i’d kill for you without hesitation’ way, not passively territorial to get the other bandits to acknowledge your relationship and back off, but jealous. like you will have to actively go out of your way to make him jealous to see it, and then you will have a very different problem on your hands as he doesn’t take too kindly to being toyed with like that
once he’s more settled and comfortable in your relationship you’ll find chōbei to be really into casual physical touch — like pulling you down to perch on his lap during a group meal, or draping an arm around your waist to pull you back down with him to sleep for a while longer, or wiping your mouth clean with his clothes after a messy meal — and if you’re the type of person who gets easily flustered by that sort of thing he’s only going to do it more
he’s far from the traditional gentlemanly type, but he always drapes his thickest coats over you when the weather turns and he always gives you the best bites of whatever meal your group are having that day, and for a bandit king living the life he does that’s basically the same thing
. Thinking of a greed IF au where you were a close childhood friend (maybe you were a maid in House Astrea) of Reinhard.
. He would definitely bring you with him to the Roswaal manor (yes, you do not have the right to refuse).
. You feel bad for him, honestly. Lady Felt is nowhere to be seen now. You know Heinkel well and could imagine the lengths he would go to mock his own son.
. "A failed knight", they say.
. All you could do was bring comfort to Reinhard. To be a safe space for him. To be the only place he could stay as a normal man.
. Subaru had prepared a lovely guest room for you, yet Reinhard insisted that you stay in the same room as him. He even gave you those puppy eyes. Could you ever brush it off oh so ruthelessly?
. Reinhard did his best to act as the Emilia camp's protector. He wouldn't dare to fail his personal duty again. Reinhard wouldn't want to disappoint Subaru when he had so generously placed trust in him.
. Meanwhile, you were not allowed to leave your (or perhaps Reinhard's) room without his permission. You had once tried getting out of that excessively decorated and spacious room out of boredom, and you swore to yourself that you would never ever do so again.
. You still remember clearly how Reinhard appeared out of nowhere, like a bolt of lightning, when you stepped out of the room. He should have been accompanying Subaru at this time of hour. Yet those piercing blue eyes of his threw darting, frantic gazes at you. You could see how the many hints of life drained away from his pretty face. His grip on your wrist was so painfully tight that you could already imagine the red outline of his fingers forming on your skin.
. "Please, never leave me again. You are the last grain of hope I have left in this world. I cannot bear to lose you."
. He gifted you tons of books, art supplies and luxuries, basically anything you could think of, for you to kill time, and all you had to do was to wait for his return in the room.
"Play as a transferred student in a royal academy where you'll meet the 4 princes: The loyal Natsuki Subaru, the diligent Tanya Von Degurechaff, The stubborn Satou Kazuma and the powerful Ainz Ooal Gown..."
Unfortunately such game isn't real (at least not yet). Regardless, I hope you all enjoyed the art lol
I had so much fun doing this one tbh, I've enjoyed drawing Lucy more lately, she's just really pretty y'know? I tried rendering a little differently which I'll show in the speedpaint. I wanted her to kind of look dreamlike, and I kept the color palette kind of relaxed.
I also sprinkled in Natsu because I think she'd maybe have a plushie of Natsu somewhere. Of course not to the level of mementos Juvia has but maybe one or two. Also PLUE, I feel like I never see him in modern Fairy Tail and that makes me really, really sad.
Hope everyone likes this one! Next post will hopefully be the Gajeel redesign, but tbh I might just make more shipping art😭😩.
Here's a redesign of another favourite dragon slayer of mine! I know generally the Sabretooth guild colours revolve around white and navy-- but for Sting I thought keeping it white and the ice blue reflects the whole 'white dragon' gimick pretty well.
Regardless I really like the statement piece of fur (which is implied to be a sabertooth tiger hide). I thought the fur hide would be a fun little accessory that all the Sabretooth members would wear in some way. But it defiantly looks more dramatic on him-- which would be fitting since he's the guildmaster.
I made this design around a year ago, but I was in the mood to use it and redraw a manga panel-- hope y'all dig it :)
Hey guys! Since I'm currently fixating on Fairy Tail rn I thought about an AU where Wendy didn't go to Tenrou Island for the S-class trial because she was too young. So instead she stayed back at Fairy Tail while the other members disappeared for 7 years.
In my mind I would imagine that she and Carla stuck around since the guild was the only place they could call home. But when she remained at Fairy Tail as the sole dragon slayer she carried the weight of the guild on her shoulders-- becoming Fairy Tail's strongest wizard.
I also realised that if she had stayed back during the time skip, she would be the same age the dragon slayer twins, which I find would be a very interesting and fun dynamic to explore.
p.s. I put her in a cute play suit because wdym they put a 12 year old that flies around in the air in a dress sundress or short skirt
Karma is the law of cause and effect, often described by the phrase “you reap what you sow.”
So, what exactly did you sow last April Fools’ Day?
A new trend for harmless pranks. Or… maybe not entirely harmless.
You, you little shit, brought a brand-new holiday to Lugunica. And although you didn’t do anything particularly cruel - just some light-hearted jokes - it still affected a huge part of your social circle.
Now you’re reaping the “fruits” of your own actions.
What’s it like to wake up in the morning, set a mug on the kitchen counter, pour in sugar and tea, then turn around to find the mug completely gone? And while you’re searching the shelves for the tea, the mug itself suddenly disappears too?
Damn it. Out of everyone, you made the most short-sighted mistake - you taught Reinhard how to prank.
You only realized this after thirteen minutes and twenty-three seconds of trying to make tea.
At one point you thought you were just really sleep-deprived or straight-up losing your mind. Then you glanced at the calendar, heard a quiet laugh right behind you - very close behind you.
Reinhard: Sorry, sorry… We all really liked your pranks from last year. I believe you called them ‘pranks’? So we decided to team up and prank the ‘master trickster’ themselves.
The light morning embarrassment from being so close to him instantly vanishes.
Wait, what?
Reinhard: Last time you warned all your friends before ‘Fool’s Day’ and even asked how far you could go… So I thought you deserved to know about this ‘Alliance to Prank the Ultimate Trickster’.
This sweet guy looks genuinely guilty.
R: I also don’t know if I’m allowed to warn you about this, so… can you keep it a secret?
He presses one finger to his lips in a shushing gesture and waits for your answer.
Still in shock, you nod. He smiles, says goodbye, and leaves to carry out his duties. He’s even kind enough to put everything he “hid” back in its place and leaves the cup of tea you had started making.
Oh shit. This is definitely going to be a crazy day.
Emilia: Huh? Looks like my sugar-for-salt trick didn’t work.
Emilia walks into the room.
You: Nice try, Emilia-sama. I almost fell for it.
Puck: Meow! That was my idea.
Puck floats into the room, and you immediately give him a high-five - a gesture the spirit had grown very fond of. Besides, you can never resist touching those soft little paws.
You: By any chance, do you remember how many people want to get back at me for last year’s pranks?
Ram enters the room.
Ram: All I can say is that you won’t be able to hide in your room today.
Ram: Roswaal-sama listened to my request and gave you a mountain of tasks in the city. Of course, I myself won’t be participating in such childish nonsense. But I’ll gladly watch you eat the porridge you cooked yourself.
You: You don’t even have a reason to be mad! I didn’t prank you last year, Ram-san!
Ram: As if you would have dared.
You: You’re so cruel, Ram-san.
Ram: Not that much. Watch out for Subaru and Beatrice. They seem way too excited about getting revenge on you.
The moment you step out into the garden, you spot a carriage.
You: Oh no.
Ferris: Siha!
At the same instant, a water ball flies straight at your poor backside.
From around the corner comes running Ferris, looking extremely pleased with himself. The equally cheerful Pearlbaton triplets jump out after him, shouting:
She peed herself! She peed herself!
Joshua, who had come to escort the triplets, tried to calm them down, but the corner of his mouth kept twitching upward. He clearly enjoyed the fun, even if the jokes were beneath an aristocrat’s dignity. Wilhelm was also present, standing silently beside Ferris and staring into the distance, making it very clear he was neither participating nor enjoying this.
You: I didn’t expect this from you, Wilhelm-san…
You tried to look disapproving, but soon burst out laughing and joined in the fun anyway.
Then you heard Garfiel’s voice.
Otto, I found our ‘pranker’. Launch it.
A low hum. No - buzzing. In that moment you realized it was time to run.
You: Aaaargh! OTTO, WHY DO YOU HATE ME SO MUCH!?
Otto: SORRYYYY! I THINK I WENT TOO FAR! I THOUGHT THERE’D BE FEEEWER!
Garf and Mimi: RUN, DIVA, RUUUUN!!!
You ran. A swarm of giant beetles flew after you.
You: Somebody help me!!!
Felt: How did you manage to set up a prank before me?
Reinhard: My apologies, Lady Felt.
About thirty seconds of silence passed.
Felt: Are you sure she’ll run this way?
Reinhard: Absolutely.
Felt: And one is enough?
Reinhard: Yes, Lady Felt.
Felt: Oh. There she is. But… what’s behind her?
Felt: Huh?! Where did all these bugs come from!? Not the bugs!
Reinhard: Understood.
What the hell are they talking about?
The world flipped upside down.
Classic banana peel prank. The last thought that crossed your mind was:
Reinhard’s calculations are terrifying.
You were already bracing yourself to land hard on your wet ass when Julius caught you. One hand held your arm, the other supported your back between the shoulder blades. For a few seconds you hung in an unstable position before finally opening your eyes.
Julius: Careful. You could have hurt yourself. Are you alright?
He helped you regain your balance.
You: Thank you for catching me. I’m fine. I… I didn’t prank you last year, right?
Julius: Correct. You were wise enough not to put me in an awkward position.
You: Phew.
Julius: However, you did say you wouldn’t mind if someone pranked you, didn’t you? I decided to go first. After all, we’re close enough friends for such jokes now, aren’t we?
A sly, triumphant smile appeared on his face.
Incredibly attractive.
You blinked, pushing the thought away.
You: I know… This is some kind of bluff. You’re saying you’ll prank me so I’ll get paranoid and scared, but you won’t actually do anything… You can’t scare me, ha-ha.
You kept watching him, but all you saw was that mysterious smile.
Julius: Who knows… who knows…
He turned away.
Julius: Please excuse me. I have business with Lady Emilia.
He left in a hurry.
Aaagh… I should’ve at least told him his shoelaces were untied…
You headed back to the mansion and passed Frederica, who immediately turned her face away.
You: Do I have something on my face?
Frederica chuckled softly and nodded.
You: When the hell did Julius manage that?
What is it this time?
Frederica: You look like a cat.
She handed you a mirror. Indeed - cat ears, a little nose, whiskers… It was actually kind of cute.
You: I think I’ll leave it like this. Let him enjoy the fact that I didn’t notice right away. Sigh…
The moment you walked through the door, you dodged a bucket of water, then swerved away from a shower of glitter and feathers.
Subaru: How did that miss!?
Beatrice: It didn’t work.
Subaru: Why not!?
Beatrice: You shouldn’t have dodged the glitter, Betty told you. Don’t space out, Subaru. We still have a second chance. Shamak!
Darkness swallowed the world as water poured over you and glitter and feathers settled on your head.
You: Pffff…
You spat out a few feathers and some glitter.
You: Are you satisfied now?
Beatrice: Betty is satisfied.
Subaru: Victory!
A pink-haired silhouette flashed down the corridor.
You: Ram-san! They made a mess in the entrance hall! We have guests coming back from Emilia soon!!!
Thinking about an alternative world where humans possess a heightened sense of smell, particularly for pheromones and hormonal shifts... Not the same thing as omegaverse/ABO, but just like an alternate evolutionary timeline wherein humans developed an acute sense of smell on par with other mammals, thus enabling them to the same capacity as said other mammals.
To smell food from much further away, to sniff out disease, to track living beings — and to acutely, consciously smell pheromones and gland secretions in other humans, complete with biological triggers the smells activate.
Men already have a musk about them, especially when they sweat, but it's more intense to your senses. Men who have just worked out, are aroused, or otherwise are exuding more testosterone than average are an immediate attention-grab and attractant. Scent alone can easily make a man seem much more attractive.
But as is always the case with nature, your sex still has far more self-control, and is far less of a menace to society, whereas for males, being naturally more aggressive and initiative with those sorts of things, it makes a significant impact.
The awkward part is that everyone around you knows when you're menstruating. It's a universal thing, so it goes largely unacknowledged and is just considered an unpleasant reality readily accepted by the collective, but there's still some unspoken awkwardness about it. Besides, the same is true for you with your own peers, so everyone is just sort of used to it.
Predictably, though, ovulation is drastically worse.
You're very grateful it only lasts such a short time. There's about six days of high fertility, culminating in the middle of the time period, the roughly twenty-four hours of actual ovulating. The whole duration gives off heavy secretion, but that peak day is the worst of it.
And likewise, everyone within a general radius of your person will know when you're in that stage.
It's hell for trying to exist in public. Men zero in on it essentially instantaneously, eyes locking onto a target like a hawk spotting some poor little rodent in the distant grass below. If you choose to go out in public — which is not advisable if you can avoid doing so — you will literally see men stop talking mid-conversation, heads turning with slack-jawed expressions to locate the source of whatever they're smelling.
And it turns them on — whether it's some innate biological reaction to the smell, the conscious awareness of your increased fertility and assumed heightened arousal, or some combination of both, you're unsure. But the fact that the scent of ovulation and arousal really gets men going is just as universally accepted and obvious as is the fact that the same is true of visual stimulus.
Naturally, they assume you'll be more open-minded during this time. You'll be easier, less inhibited, a more ideal target. If you actually do simply have the desire to go out and get laid, doing so is as easy as walking somewhere. They'll approach you, you don't need to do anything but accept. It's not really different from the normal women's experience when you're not ovulating, but now they're just considerably more aggressive and persistent.
The issue becomes the fact that they'll still swarm you even if you'd prefer they not.
For five or six days per month, life is essentially impossible to navigate normally, without having to fend off a sequence of men far too eager to talk to you and utterly relentless in their pursuit. It also emboldens them — men who would otherwise be too shy or worried of being embarrassed by rejection have their capacity for rational thought dulled by the chemical rush to their brains the smell induces, and will act on impulse.
Of course, your scent is utilized as a justification for being so persistent. You came out like this, didn't you? Aren't you looking for fun? You're probably really horny right now, aren't you? Hm? No? Well, you're obviously just being coy, you can't not be horny right now, right? Come home with him.
He'll grab onto your wrist. You see his pupils dilate. It's only getting more intense the longer he stands there and keeps breathing you in. And even screaming for help will only draw the attention of more men. You have to either look for a distraction, try to beg for his understanding, or fight your way out... or just give in.
It becomes less of a hassle to simply stay in, pay up and buy delivery services for groceries and takeout. But you still have to be careful, make sure to choose the options that let them set it outside the door. You've seen far too many headlines about some poor girl in that time of month opening the door for a delivery man and, well, he just sort of gets overwhelmed, and it's just a little too easy to push through the door, pick her up, throw her onto her own couch and have his way.
It's also essentially imperative that you utilize those "request female drivers only" options on transportation service apps. You wouldn't dare get into a car with some man in this state, lest he get so turned on he starts thinking maybe whatever he wants to do to you is worth the consequences.
Well, not that there's too many consequences anyway.
It's not that men aren't expected to have some control over themselves, it's just that, well, the world is already so sympathetic with them when they fail to demonstrate that control, and this is just another factor that massively compounds the degree to which they're perpetually absolved of accountability.
Thus you have to be careful. The risk is severely heightened by the fact that the law is extremely lenient towards them, giving them very little to fear.
If the matter was merely harassment, groping, or some other kind of forced, non-penetrative contact, you'll be laughed out of the police station for even bringing it to them. But even if it's something worse, well. It's not as if they're explicitly permitted to let it go automatically, but past cases have set a very obvious precedent. You'll initially be encouraged to simply either forget it or to accept the man's — as the violent act is retroactively referred to by police — "advances," and turn it into a relationship. The police force itself is overwhelmingly male-dominated, as being a woman in that field is nightmarish under the circumstances, so they're wholly inclined to empathize with your assailant.
The latter is especially likely if the man himself expresses desire for that outcome. See, look, he did it because he likes you. He was just having a natural chemical reaction to your smell, on top of the already famously hard-to-resist urges every man experiences. They understand that it was scary for you, but he did it with pure intentions, you really should try to have some empathy for his side of things, and you'll end up happy if you accept him (and save them the hassle of putting a case together).
But should you dig your heels in and insist on pursuing it in a court, it's still a waste of time. Blame is always assigned to your end— why did you go outside during that time, knowing you would draw attention? — and likewise, there's always an appeal to sympathy on the man's end, arguing that it must have been very difficult to control himself, that he must have been so overwhelmed and didn't really know what he was doing. You're told you're being heartless. You wouldn't understand what it's like. You're told you really ought to just accept the affection and make something good of it. You're making a scene and embarrassing everyone and yourself for no good reason.
And think about how much it must hurt his feelings, with you here trying to punish him for something he didn't really have good control over. And God forbid your country has jury trials. There's basically no point in even pursuing the matter when the entire male population is automatically going to empathize with your attacker.
Endless occupations are affected too, with an endless ongoing cultural debate as to whether or not it's even safe or reasonable to have female occupying certain roles, if you should be allowed (or forced) to take those days off, if you should be paid if you do, and, of course, the occasional, timeless assertion that you shouldn't be working at all.
It's hard to be completely unaffected in the vast majority of roles. Good luck working in customer service or healthcare. Most countries implement a form of leave where you're paid half-wage for the few days off. Others force you to just either go unpaid for those days, or show up anyway and be endlessly harassed and hounded by patients and customers. More compassionate managers will ensure you're resigned to roles in the back on those days, computer-related work or paperwork where you won't have to actually interact with the public.
Not that it's just for your sake, though. Some people may file complaints with your manager or supervisor about how inappropriate it is to have you working and overwhelming your customers and patients. In the customer service end, male clientele complain that it's a marketing tactic designed to make them distracted and dazed so that they buy more.
There's a perpetual caution you have to exhibit. Make sure you don't lag behind at the end of the day after work in the office or storeroom or the like. It would be unfortunate if that one coworker that's a little too friendly towards you notices.
Not that it begins in the working world — it's already a looming threat in school, especially if you mature early. Your teachers contact your parents to tell them you're being a distraction to the boys in class by... existing at the wrong time and all, ask them if they can set up some kind of arrangement where you do schoolwork from home so you don't pose a disturbance to the class... and so that your classmates don't pose a threat to you. The school would hate to be liable for any, ah, incidents.
You would have to be so incredibly careful if you did show up, after all. Even if you so much as get up to go to the bathroom, teachers have to be careful not to let any boy get up and do the same, knowing he likely just intends to follow you. It's easier for you to just stay isolated at home when the scent becomes an issue.
Older teen boys are so very famously pumped full of hormones and lacking impulse control even compared to their twenty-and-up counterparts, and the whole thing is very new to them as well. Most have never been exposed to this stimulus before, it's very overwhelming for their poor sensitive minds and bodies. It's really not that poor boy's fault that he did those things to his classmate (or, in plenty of cases, the teacher, if you're foolish enough to become one). He didn't know any better.
Scent becomes highly fetishized in general. In the same way men make vulgar comments and stereotypes about how specific types, ages, sizes or origins of women look or act a certain way, they also develop stereotypes, along with whole new sets of vocabulary, to describe their smells. They create derogatory slang terms to describe the smell of ovulation. They call out to make raunchy, sexual comments to women in public about how they can smell them from over there or how they smell to get reactions of anger or embarrassment.
Because it's so much more evident and right in their faces (literally), men as a collective are much more aware of your hormonal phases on a cultural level, the matter is brought up with increased frequency amongst themselves and in society-wide cultural dialogue.
Men take to forums and social media and podcasts arguing about how it's incredibly unfair that they are expected to behave normally when confronted with such stimulus, how women need to begin taking responsibility for choosing to go outside like that and stop shaming the male sex for reacting very reasonably to it.
How it's literally just nature, it's how they're supposed to act in response. It's literally your body begging to get fucked, and their brains are hardwired to oblige. Do you understand you're literally telling them to go against nature? What if they told you to just not eat when you're starving, or to not breathe? It's giving them conflicting commands at the same time.
Similarly, the phenomenon is used to further delegitimize your autonomy and any power within society. Your body literally routinely emits an olfactory message that essentially advertises to the world that you need to be bred and impregnated, and you concern yourself with trying to obtain money or power in life? That's never going to happen, not only because the collective as a societal force will ensure it doesn't, but because drawing too much attention to yourself in any attempt to do so will inevitably lead to very bad things happening to you, unless you shut yourself away for days at a time every month, which would then also make career success near-impossible.
Nor do they have sympathy for cases of matters gone wrong.
She knew what she was doing, they say. That girl wouldn't have agreed to go study in a boy's dorm or accept that guy's offer for a ride home at that time of the month if she didn't intend for things to end up like that. It may have been okay any other time of month, and then the guy would have been in the wrong, but come on. Be serious. You can't blame him in that situation.
She surely knew her own hormonal cycle well enough that she could have planned ahead and not ended up in that situation if she had wanted to avoid it. Besides, if she was ovulating, she definitely wanted it too. That's how ovulating works, it's why stupid decisions come alongside it.
And if you really wanted to prevent something bad happening to you, so it's often said, you'd just get a boyfriend or a husband who would make other men back off. Issue solved. It's really incredible how stupid you are, you would rather practically run around with a target on their head than date a guy.
Besides, if you don't have one and you do get dragged into a back alley or drugged in a club or followed home and your house broken into by some man who can't resist the smell and has to feel your insides... well, that's nature's way of giving you a boyfriend. The natural world isn't nice, but that's just how things are.
But it goes beyond just the arousal from the biological indicators of your smell, and isn't limited to ovulating pheromones — men can also memorize your unique, individual smell, just like they can recognize your face or voice.
When the man that's been watching you decides it's finally time to meet in-person, he doesn't need to pay too close of attention to try and gauge which apartment unit you walk into. He can just enter the hall and trace which door your scent leads to.
And these matters are not entirely derogatory, you know. Sometimes it's sweet. He'll tell you when he pins you down onto your bed, buries his face into the crook of your neck. How you smell so nice, how it has him completely entranced. That he first noticed you from a distance because he could smell you and how eager your body is to be bred.
How he couldn't resist doing this. How he wants to stay pressed against you and breathe you in forever. How you're going to smell so good when you're pregnant — that has a unique scent to it too, you know. How he wants to keep you for himself so no one else gets to look at you, breathe in your scent, touch you.
You feel him take deep, heavy breaths against your skin, savoring the stimulus. You can always resist, but he knows better than to believe what comes out of your mouth when the smells pouring off your body tell him how much you want it, anyway.
Fairy, I once read from a source that Reinhard is the type of person who treats others the way he sees/thinks of them. Do you think Reinhard's love for darling will be obvious? I mean, from the way he treats darling and others like her.
I'm a bit curious whether he can hide his feelings (if they're obvious) and what if, for some reason, his feelings are socially inappropriate (for example, people expect Reinhard's partner to have a high social status) Can he hide his feelings? 🤔
That's all, hope you have a nice day, Fairy ♡♡
hii bby!! ohh youre right now that u mentioned it, i forgot that even rezero has this social norms going on with these royal families and what not. lets get into it.
as an outsider, you hold no significant influence in the re:zero world of politics. as a person who wasnt even aware of her whose name shall not be spoken (satella) and who acts so carefree with people regardless of their status, most aristocrats and nobles actually look down on you with scorn. hence, you're someone not worth paying attention to in their eyes. Reinhard is definitely aware of this.
from birth, reinhard is aware of his fate, lay his life on the line for this kingdom and dedicate his sword to the next candidate of the throne. In this case, thatd be felt. i believe tappei also said that reinhard will most likely be involved in an arranged marriage. and he accepts these with no rebuttal.
all this was before you came flying down into his arms.
reinhard is a person with firm beliefs. he knows there is no place and time for him to be dilly-dallying along with his fantasies, that you're better off and happier with another man, that he should be offering his life to his queen instead. at first, it was due to pity and genuine kindness that he offers you a place at his manor. you'll leave eventually, navigate your own way in this god-forsaken world and maybe you'll come back to visit him occasionally.
but you're someone out of his reach.
his relatives would look down on his decisions and all his fellow knights would surely object to his relationship with you. hekins already pokes fun at him for bringing in a 'stray' to the astrea manor. and you...you deserves someone who can fully devote himself to this sickness called love. your social standings are too different and he believes he can't offer you the life that you deserves. it's a dead end on both sides.
so he throws himself into duties and patrols more than ever, hoping to avoid interactions with you even when his heart begs for more glimpses of your face. Each chat from you is quickly cut off by his sudden need to go catch another criminal and he sprints unusually fast from you while his whole body aches to do the exact opposite, leaving you puzzled.
so when you finally starts getting jobs and interacting with more people, why does his heart feel so heavy? His throat feels heavy like something is choking him when you begin gushing about making new friends. he'll put up a smile and tell you 'congrats, im very proud of you!' but you dont see the way his fingers are drawing out blood from underneath the table. hes tried to stray away from you, he truly tried.
but there's something so different about you..it's fresh. you don't hesitate in anything, you're someone always willing to learn, fairly composed for someone whos been randomly transported into another word. despite all the odds, you always maintain a beautiful smile that he cant get enough of. and most of all, your unconditional kindness knows no bounds. someone, anyone says jump and immediately, you say how high.
how can he ever let go of someone like this out into such a dangerous world?
he wants to keep that kindness all for himself.
these arent thoughts an honoured authorized figure should be having. one could say that his desires are very taboo. this predicament keeps him up at night and it shows. everyone took notice of the way he constantly looks dazed. so, when you finally approach him in concern of him looking exhausted, he can't contain it anymore. in his feverish state, he mistakes your figure as a willing participant in his dream and pulls you in for a kiss.
social expectations be damned, you'll be spoiled and treated like the highest royalty you deserve to be. treat him like your guard dog, he'll be solely yours for the rest of eternity.
