#*pocky game intensifies*

[xamassed]

⟬ @lyriccl ⟭

"Mammon, let's play a game!" Emma sticks a piece of Pocky between her lips, waiting for her boyfriend to bite the other end of it.

In the span of half a second, his expression had changed from one of wonder to one of scarlet embarrassment. Everything from his shoulders to his hairline had shifted, until he was stood there flushed, shocked and stammering.

The GREAT Mammon shouldn't have been made speechless so easily, but it further proved that Emma was capable of getting away with quite a lot now that they were together.

"The hell kind'a game is that?" He finally managed to speak, but not without his voice cracking and his fingers drumming against his hip. Mammon tried to act as if he didn't know, but it was clear by the way he eyed the stick and her lips that he knew.

Still red, the demon approached. His own lips came near to the end of the stick that she left for him, the scent of biscuit and chocolate tempting on its own. With her there, he knew he couldn't resist for much longer.

"How do I win, huh? I eat the most or somethin' like that?"

She was his, and he was hers, but this sort of shameless affection still had his stomach twisting into knots and his breath hitching. He'd kissed her plenty of times before, and he planned on kissing her as often as he could for the rest of his life, but she still managed to make it feel like their first whenever she did something silly like this.

Crunch, crunch, snap.

He took three bites, each one larger than the last, until his lips nearly touched hers. When there was only a small portion left, he hesitated. The red in his cheeks intensified, and his eyes darted elsewhere. "Ya want me t'have the rest of it? Does that mean I win if I do?"

[starry-demon]

Was thinking about this the other day and I wanted to jot down some soft headcanons about the brothers shopping with a gender neutral MC. Enjoy!

------------------

Lucifer

- "Lord Diavolo gave us a list and we need stick to it, understood?"

- "No, No! Put that back!"

- Ends up caving and getting MC their favorite snacks anyways because they asked so nicely.

- "I just wanted you to be quiet, MC. Nothing more."

- Brushes his hand along MC's lower back as they shop together.

- Smirks seeing MC enjoy their treat of choice when they both get back to the House of Lamentation.

Mammon

- Is high-key excited to go shopping with MC.

- Buys unessesary shit and then forgets half the important stuff on the grocery list.

- Lots of handholding, or has his arm draped around MC's shoulder.

- "Lucifer let us borrow his debit card for this -- 😈"

- Dances in front of security cameras.

- Uses the shopping cart as a scooter.

- Probably runs into something with said shopping cart.

Levi

- "Ugh I don't wanna go out shopping! Can't you see I'm in the middle of an important match?"

- When MC finally does drag him out, he ends up having a nice time just being with them.

- The burden of his social anxiety is lessened by MC's presence.

- "Would you.....wanna buy pocky? Maybe....play the pocky game with me when we get home?" *Blushing intensifies*

- Lots of hand holding with MC.

- Gets emotional over the lobsters in the tank at the seafood isle.

- Gets super cold in the frozen section of the grocery store so MC has to give him lots of hugs to warm him up.

- Don't forget the gaming snacks!

Satan

- Has a nice handwritten shopping list with him -- checks off each item.

- Has his hand draped around MC's waist when he isn't grabbing something from the shelf.

- "You want that MC? Well...I suppose I'll get it for you then."

- Idk why, but I feel he'd have a shitload of coupons with him.

- Angrily glares at customers who cut him off with their carts.

- Actually compares prices.

- If the store happens to have flowers, he may stop and buy some for MC while they are distracted.

Asmo

- Gets extra fashionable for the outing.

- "I know it's just grocery shopping, but I always have to look beautiful especially when I make a public appearance! 💖"

- Flirts with anyone he interacts with at the store, but is especially affectionate towards MC.

- Sneaks kisses while MC is distracted looking through the isles. He doesn't care if someone's looking.

- Gets bored there easily unless it is one of those grocery stores that happens to have a makeup isle.

- "MC...That snack is really bad for your skin :("

- Recommends foods that are healthy and will bring out natural beauty.

Beel

- As soon as MC mentions grocery shopping, he's already halfway out the door.

- Grocery list? Nah. It'll be lucky if he doesn't just bring the entire store with him.

- Holds MC's hand the whole time, grips it tighter in excitment when he sees something that looks particularly delicious.

- "Make sure you get something that you'll enjoy, MC."

- He is just so happy.

- Munches on the food before y'all even get to the register.

- "Beel....we need to pay for that first."

- "Right....sorry."

- Helps MC reach anything on the shelf that's out of the way. Will probably wrap his arm around them at the same time.

- Can't wait to bring all of the food home and start getting ready for dinner!

Belphie

- MC will have to drag him out of bed to run errands, probably.

- Once he's out, he's fine. Pretty good at remembering what they need to get without having to look at the shopping list.

- Holds hands with MC, leans on them when he gets tired.

- Belphie seems to be good with cooking, considering Beel is his twin/closest friend so he's on the lookout for good ingredients.

- "No way I'm getting instant coffee...put that up."

- Leans on the shopping cart, nodding off while waiting to check out. The line was way too long.

- He's excited to see how Beel reacts to everything that was purchased.

Do you know the Pocky game? Can I pls request HW guys playig it with WoL?

oh, this is 10/10. i love this

❅ ❅ ❅

[Aymeric]

Being a sweet tooth himself, Aymeric isn’t one to turn down a delicious treat. He was highly curious, the items that you oft bring as souvenirs giving him a taste of the wider world that he hopes to, one day, explore by your side.

You explain the rules of the game to him and he gives you an amused smile and raise of a brow as he accepts. He easily allows you to have the frosted end, making some odd proclamation that his sweetest was to only have the best (and you give him a light smack at how bad the pun was) as you take your places on each end of the wafer stick.

You both take turns taking nibbles of the snack, just as rules of the game dictates. However, it doesn’t stop the glint in the lord commander’s eyes and you know that he’s taking full advantage of both the privacy of his offices and your expressions. Forget being a tactician, he was just being mean at this point!

You give in and bite off the rest of the treat so that your lips meet his and the man gives a hearty chuckle against the kiss. You knew that he was baiting you the entire time, but you couldn’t help it.

At least he’ll be able to taste the frosting off your tongue.

[Estinien]

Estinien initially thought the idea of the game was childish, that he could just kiss you whenever he wanted and take the treat for his own besides, your tantrums and pouts be damned. However, the moment that you challenged him and tested his pride, along with statements such as “What’s wrong, dragoon, are you scared?” something in him snapped and wouldn’t take the statements lightly.

The rules were simple enough to the man and you can see that his expression had taken a competitive edge. He’s no longer complaining about how stupid the idea is, his concentration intensifying and focusing on simply winning. In a way, it was endearing, for this single-minded focus is one of the reasons why you had fallen for him and a trait that makes him such a dedicated lover.

You go along with game for a few nibbles, admiring just how concentrated he was. The blue of his eyes, his long lashes, the smoothness of his lips...how could you possibly behave when he’s just in front of you being a temptation in all manner of the word?!

You frown and, in your last turn, you decided that you were done playing and bite off the rest of the wafer. Your lips pressed against his suddenly, but gently, and in a way that it caught the man off guard. When he realized what was going on, you felt a grin against your lips as he returned your increasingly impatient kiss.

[Haurchefant]

You and Haurchefant had gone through half an entire box of wafers trying to play the game properly. Rather, you had spent half the box trying to convince the lord to follow the rules of the game instead of simply biting off the entire treat to reach your lips.

Seeing your dismay, Haurchefant finally buckles down and plays properly. His nibbles are small, appropriate for the game, but he was eyeing you with such fondness that you couldn’t help but flush within his sights.

At the sight of your fluster, the man offers you a sultry grin with a hint of apology, though he doesn’t say anything outright. A part of you knows that he is far from apologetic, but you allow it since he’s finally playing the part right. That is, until he starts touching you. Starts and just doesn’t stop touching you.

It wasn’t long until the man’s resolve breaks and, once again, consumes the rest of the wafer to kiss you. However, this kiss was more passionate, more intense and you don’t have a sliver of a doubt where it’s heading. Accepting your fate, you allow yourself to be taken into his embrace and fall along the heat of the moment.

Drunk Passion (Server Collab Prompt)

A/N: Hey y'all, I just barely made it lol. I'm moderately happy with this fic, I hope you guys enjoy it.

Pairing: Mirio Togata X Fem!Reader

Warnings: Drinking/Alcohol Mention

Word Count: 1.8K

5 hours earlier, you stood in your room, giving yourself once overs in your full body mirror, complimenting yourself for choosing the right dress. Only to receive a call from your date who had to cancel due to "unforeseen circumstances." It was an understatement to be frustrated, and doubtlessly, you took it as a sign of them calling you ugly and blowing you off on purpose.

Your roommate, Mina, watched as you paced the living room rethinking your plans for the night. She reminded you of her third annual valentine's day party. This gathering initially started after the horrific event of her date happening on the love day, and trying to propose to her in broad daylight. From there on, she promised herself that she'd never be that naive again and dedicate the day to enjoy with friends.

Usually, you were away from home during this time of the year and briefly knew of the function. She always tried to invite you, but to no avail, you weren't around. Mina, the charismatic matchmaker, created a space for the people who hated, loved, or felt indifferent to the holiday, labeling it as the "Who Needs Love?" Party. You thought it would be a complete disaster, but it turns out, her parties equate to finding your "soulmate." Without plans to roam the city with a date, you were now a secondary host to the love fest.

The apartment you shared with Mina had a decent size and came with a balcony. There was a time where neither of you could afford to live on campus, and so you had to find a roommate to manage to stay enrolled, or else the work you wanted to do would be spoiled by a mere living situation. Moving into this luxury apartment was less than luxury, hence why it was so cheap. With Mina being a fashion designer and your skills being a moderate decorator, you created a space where you two loved the teamwork and effort put into it.

Looking way too good for no particular reason, you became a hit on every guy's list. A lot of the faces you saw weren't recognizable as you haven't met Mina's friend group from high school, but she made sure to introduce you to them. During the introductions, she seemed the fondest of the guy with the spiky red hair, favoring a porcupine. A twinkle in her eyes as she said his name with a discreet smirk directed your way. You were a great hostess making sure to check on the hordes of mixed emotions.

Passing through the warm atmosphere, you were grabbed by your forearm. Turning around, your eyes met with a tall, blonde-haired hottie. His eyes were piercingly blue as the grin was brightly targeted at you.

"Hey, I'm sorry to grab you, but I had been trying to get your attention for a while." His smile was faintly smug, but his tone was smooth like honey. He gently loosened his hold on your arm as he saw your immediate reaction of disgust, wondering who would dare lay hands on you. A chuckle came from his lips as he apologized instantly, "I didn't mean to upset you, I just wanted to know where I could get some air?"

He held onto a cup,  on the other hand, probably full of booze awaiting your answer. As you were about to tell him, he thought you had already started speaking and moved in closer. He leaned ear first into your right shoulder, the heat from his breath, warming the back of your neck and shoulder. "I'm sorry, beautiful, I couldn't hear you."

The shocks running through your body, halted you from speaking. The blondie was so close you could see his jawline intensify and gather a hint of citrus and lime from the cologne he wore, even catching signs of his broad chest thanks to his button-down shirt being open below his collarbone. You quickly answered him, maybe too loud for comfort as he winced and smiled back after you pointed in the direction of your balcony. Bejeweled with gratitude, he nods, fading back into the crowd.

You try to peek over to see where he goes briefly talking to the red porcupine, with an indigo-haired guy and a periwinkle-haired girl close to his sides. The three seemed to be good friends laughing at your witty roommate's jokes as her crush, Kirishima, casually wrapped his arm around her shoulder. It looks as if only you caught how pink her face was as she snuggled closer to him. The buff blondie waves off from the couple and makes their way to the balcony.

Before he can leave your area of vision, you lock eyes. His azure sights peer into yours with a knowing, warm smile. A winking motion is made as he grins wide, heading out with his friends. The indigo guy was very antsy about leaving the crowded room, wanting more air than conversation. 

You turn to leave the living room and head into the kitchen, bringing out more snacks and to acquire a drink for yourself. Placing pocky, shrimp chips, and gummy candy all throughout the coffee table between your long black couches. Being cautious of how you bend, not trying to give anyone a free show. Heading back into the kitchen, you pour some light liquor into a shot glass, wanting to feel a small buzz.

Just one for now while I make my rounds.

As you finish the shot and place it back on the marble counter, the blondie glides in with the same cup, but it's now empty. You stare up at the buff blondie, catching your breath as you get to take him in; hair down bang almost tickling his eyelashes as the rest of his mane rests at his brawny shoulders. Seeing him up close made your heart flutter as you didn't understand how attractive one man could be. His eyes wandered to your attire, and you blushed under his gaze. The kitchen area felt small now that he's sharing the same air as you.

As you were about to ask him for a drink, the periwinkle haired girl came in. She went into a ramble about the drinking game that was about to start until she saw your face, "You are so pretty, what's your name?"

You told her your name, and her eyes twinkled, "Ah, so your Mina's roommate, that's so cool! I'm surprised we haven't met before."

"I'm usually away during this time of the year, but I had no plans, and so I'm here, hosting tonight."

"That's great, I came to look for Mirio and found you too so please, play with us!"

You could see the intensity in this girl that had introduced her friend before herself. Her personality seemed overbearing but good-natured, she noticed your small smile and took that as non-verbal agreement. Taking your hand, along with her athletic friend. You took a quick glance at the blondie as he apologized, "Sorry about this, Nejire-chan likes making new friends. And yeah, I'm Mirio."

Reaching the central area wasn't an easy task since there seemed to be more people that came during the time you were taking a shot. Examining the room, everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves. There was a heap of smiles, blushed faces, and laughter roaring through. Reaching the couches, Nejire sat next to you as Mirio was on the other side of her. Across from you, was Mina, with a big grin talking to Kirishima and a couple of her other friends from high school.

An angry-looking guy with spikey ash-blond hair stood up from his spot on the couch, "Okay, so if you're sitting, we're gonna play a game of Mafia!"

Another guy chimed in, his hair yellow with black stripes on one side, "Mafia isn't a drinking game!"

"It is now if you don't figure out who the hitmen are!"

The banter continued, and Nejire took her time to remind you who everyone was. She didn't just tell you who was playing; she made it her mission to remind you of each soul in the room. The process is too reminiscent of speed-dating as she told their jobs and personalities like stats. Made for a one-sided conversation until she got to Mirio, the blonde hunk.

"And this is Mirio-" 

"I know you told me, maybe he wants to introduce himself to me?" You stare at him with pleading eyes to keep Nejire quiet for more than a millisecond.

He catches your signal and automatically laughs, he reaches out to give you a handshake with a pleasant grin as he greets you. "Don't worry, Hado-chan, I can say my own stats." Her mouth gets a little puffy as he briefly apologizes to her.

Bakugou brought us back to attention, "Alright, so let's go over how to play, and we'll start."

______

Four grand rounds, and you could officially say you were drunk. You hadn't drunk this much since new years and worried this would result in alcohol poisoning. With the shuffling to and from couches, to make the game more interesting, Mirio had finally been seated near you. At times when it was time to discuss who was plucking off the civilians, you shared small details with each other, getting scolded by Bakugou at times.

Mirio looked at your giggly, flustered form and smiled warmly. He was happy to see you enjoy yourself and him being the reason. The game resulted in good friends with exquisite poker faces. Sero asked for another round since he hadn't gotten the chance to play God, and Bakugou refused. 

"Hey, do you want to get some fresh air?" Mirio leaned over into your ear, "You look like you're ready to sleep for a thousand years."

You giggled with a nod. You raised your hand for Mirio to guide you and informed Tamaki that he was taking you to the balcony. You didn't notice, but the room was clearing out little by little. Assuming that the lovebirds were happy with their choice of the night, you smiled, realizing that maybe the same is happening to you.

Leaving the living room into the balcony was a change in atmosphere, you felt the chill air of midwinter hit your skin like a cool kiss, which was comforting from the sauna of an apartment. Mirio nicely placed you onto one of the outdoor chairs you owned as he positioned himself next to you with the other.

"How are you feeling?"

"I'm happy," You smile, "I didn't realize how much fun her parties were."

"Me neither, this is actually my first time coming. I'm usually at work, so Nejire would try to drag Tamaki and end up coming by herself."

You share a laugh and stare at him. You look down at his hands and then back at his eyes, overfull of sparkles as they gaze into yours. He rubs the back of your hand with his thumb, and the night continues on as you share innocent rambles of your plans to see each other more in a drunken passion.

[xxyumeno]

❤️ w/arsene and marian~

         Lupin couldn’t help the laugh that left in a amusement. ❝ The game does sound quite amusing to play. ❞ eyes twinkled with mischeif. Who knew Marian would tell him of a game that would immediately catch his fancy? More so a game that involved sharing a simple sweet between two people and see who could hold out the longest? Definitely not him. Lupin was entertained by this.

   A hand then gestured towards a table and chairs. ❝ Perhaps we should make ourselves comfortable before we start this game? ❞ Lupin suggested the twinkle in his eyes only intensified. Lupin helped Marian sit first before he seated himself. He was of course a gentleman theif after all. Lupin would be undeserving of the the title ‘Gentleman Theif’ if he didn’t do that, would he?

   The game had begun and Lupin would ever so descreetly lean in with each bite of the pocky he took. Soon enough they were just a mere breathe width apart and Lupin closed the gap between them. Lupin captured Marian’s lips in a tender kiss and kept the kiss for a good moment or two. With some reluctance Lupin pulled away, a playful smirk on his lips.

   ❝ Now now dear Marian. If you leave your mouth open like that I may have to swipe what left of your sweetness~ ❞ he said with a wink, by sweetness he meant what was left of the pocky she still had.

@xdramaturgy + marian &&. It's Pocky Day! Send my muse a 🍫 to share a box with them. or, send a ❤️ to have our muses play the Pocky Game // not accepting // can be continued

Lets face it, a demonstration was the best way to really show what ths game was like, although who knows whether or not Bowen was the right person to be the one to show Betelgeuse.

Considering how he felt for her.

A build up from many, oh so many moments shared. Some might have even seen them cuddled together in such a way that would have raised questions about how close they really were, especially that one time he slept on top of her…. actually that may have happened more than once.

There was no control, but with closed eyes Bowen could not even see Betelgeuse’s confusion…. yet the longer he felt her lips against his, the more he was taking in the feeling, as if it was sucking him in, intensifying, multiplying his feelings more and more.

….And then she pulled away… slowly.

Before he could even process what he had just done, he felt her hands against his cheeks. Eyes opened.. wide actually. Finally he gazed upon hers, finally he realised what he had just done.

He just kissed her.

Granted, that was a risk when it came to playing the Pocky Game with someone you held such deep feelings for. But… her comment through him off guard. It didn’t even indicate how she felt about the kiss, good or bad. She asked him if he was alright. Hell, he knew she didn’t pull away abruptly, it was… so strange.

Why this? How did she feel about it?

Still in wide-eyed surprise, he had to answer her, at least to ease that one concern first.

“I…I’m fine… d..don’t worry I ain’t… gonna faint in a hurry.”

So he hopes anyway. He seems fine, aside from the emotions he was feeling.

Well, that didn't exactly make her concern dissipate completely. But it was enough for her to simply let it go. Still, she stroked his cheeks for a bit before gradually letting her hands slip away.

Her mind was still confused over what occurred some time ago. The sudden kiss he gave her honestly surprised her more than anything. But the sensation of it felt… quite nice to her. So nice that she kind of missed it.

Unfortunately, that just confused her even more. She just wasn't completely sure why that was as it wasn't her first, that's for sure.

But even with all of the confusion, she still smiled at him before taking his hand & squeezing it gently. This was simply her way to try to put him at ease.

"Oh good, you had me afraid for a couple of minutes there. But I am glad that you are alright."

There was a pause, her wondering if to proceed to ask or not. But curiosity slowly got the better of her in the end.

"I am a bit baffled… by what you just did though & why. Do you mind explaining it to me?"

@tetsuwan-atom

A shame that Betelgeuse was the type who needed a demonstration of how things worked. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have asked in the first place.

The way he spoke as he tried to explain was so cute to her, but she was a tad concerned when it came to his cheeks. Was he alright?

Her concern only grew as they were proceeding with the game, sensing the very slight shaking through the stick between them. She really wanted to say something some time after they had slowed down. & she was close to actually saying something too…

…Until she suddenly felt the sensation of his lips on hers.

Betelgeuse wasn’t sure on what to think really in her now purely confused state. Was this part of the game or was something actually wrong with him…? She really couldn’t tell. Slowly pulling away, Betelgeuse didn’t hesitate to place her hands on Bowen’s cheeks as she tried checking up on him, feeling the heat emanating from them.

“Are you alright Bowen? I do not wish to have you passing out on me again.”
