Hii, Can I request a Chrome x reader fic please? It can be anything you want! :)

Hoping to Spend the Night with You…

Chrome (Archlight/Glory) x Commandant/reader

Summary:

Every night, he tries his best. Whenever he fails, he will just move on and try again.

Tags: fluff, one-shot, short fic, bittersweet, food wastage (I do not condone wasting food)

Many people do not like taking overtime because of how taxing it could be. However, to you, overtime might be the thing you need to catch up with all the paperwork on your desk.

It was a few hours before midnight, you poured yourself a cup of water.

After filling up your cup, you exited the dark pantry. The base has officially entered the after hour mode, and your colleagues, almost everyone was nowhere to be found.

The corridor was dimly lit by the emergency lights as you walk pass door after door. Tonight was special. There is a Bonfire festival happening in the Central Plaza in Babylonia. Everyone went.

Even your contructs, Lucia, Lee and Liv attedned. The three even got you a ticket. Despite so, you declined their offer, and gave it to Kamui instead.

"There are more important matters to deal with right now," you told yourself, "Maybe next year..."

There was a feeling of regret for your decision, although you were use to it.

Sometimes, sacrifices has to be made.

Gazing down at the floor, you walk a little aimlessly. Your mind wandered about, thinking about all the unnesscary stressor around you.

Instinctively, you made your way back to the door of your room.

"Commandant of Grey Raven," a familiar voice spoke up.

You jolted out from your train of thought, and saw Chrome standing in front of you. Quickly, you turned to face him, and greeted him tiredly, "Oh, Chrome! Hello..."

"I thought you were going to the Bonfire Festival with your team,"Chrome said, "I know Kamui went."

“About that," you began, "Kamui went because I have him my ticket. I am too busy with work to attend. What about you? Why didn't you join the others?"

You question seems to caught Chrome off guard. If it weren't for the lights, the tint on his cheeks would have been more apparent. Embarassed and flustered by his situtation, Chrome could only give you the gist of his predicament.

"I was invited by 'Mr Smith' to attend the festival," he continued, “but I declined.”

You gave Chrome a nodded, gesturing you understood what he meant.

“I prefer using this time to do something else I find meaningful,” Chrome confessed. Now that he has calmed, his voice spoke in a stern tone.

"Like what?" You asked him. Your face showed genuine curiousity.

There was a moment of silence between them. The construct had a stern and indiffernt look on his face. Yet, with his hands behind his back, his fingers fidgeted with a small plastic container, as well as hiding the baking stains on his sleeves.

Chrome was a little speechless. For, there was something in his M. I. N. D that he want to say. But didn't have the courage to say.

"... I prefer to use this time to spend getting tomorrow's briefs and reports ready..."He gave you a model, yet, generic answer.

Hearing his answer, you nodded and gave a small smile, "I get it. When you are too busy, you just can't seem to find time to do something else." you said understandingly.

Before Chrome had the chance to reply, you beat him to it, and walked back into your room.

"Well, I'll see you around, have a good night," you said.

The automatic door closed as soon as you entered.

Chrome was left all alone. He could only watch you leave. He could not mutter a single word of protest. He really wanted to, but his sense of duty as a construct stopped him.

Fingers continued to play the plastic container. He finally took it out from his back, and looked at the small piece of cake. The whipped cream was starting to melt.

It was a planned gift for you. A small refreshment, hoping it could lead to something more.

Without a word, Chrome head back to his room. Throwing the cake away in the bin, as he walked along the corridor.

"Next time..." He said to himself.

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

Author's Notes:

This is a long time coming... I am so sorry to the person who requested this.

This fic with Chrome has been in my mind for a very long time. Like, when I first made this blog. I originally want to make it long because.....

But after a very long pondering, and covid :'), I decided less is more.

MILLIE BOBBY BROWN IN MILAN

Millie visited Milan during the fashion week for the Moncler fashion show, but before the big event, she went for a little sightseeing, and kept it casual with her outfit.

As one of the ambassador's of the brand, what else she could wear than a Moncler jacket! This is the Moncler x Richard Quinn Mary Leopard-Print Quilted Jacket.

Below the jacket Millie was wearing a Chrome Hearts black hoodie

The sunglasses and earrings are also Chrome Hearts. These pieces are very hard to find unfortunately.

And the shoes are the Louis Vuitton Black Stretch Textile Archlight Sock Sneakers ($850)

Chrome Archlight voicelines

So, because I'm in need of practice and I'm just generally curious, I decided to translate A Chrome's lines. My Chinese isn't very good lol so these are going to be rough but! It'll be a fun time. Please look elsewhere if you want better translations.

If I like it enough, I'll do some more :D

CN Wiki

Sorry for any inconsistencies lmao I did like half of these in the middle of the night. Send me a message if you want to be tagged if/when I do more of these! My notes are in parentheses lol

Google docs ver

Construct joins:

Strike Hawk's team leader Chrome, reporting for duty. Hello, Commandant of Grey Raven, you wouldn't have happened to see my teammate Kamui, would you?

Level up:

It's important to keep improving yourself.

Promote:

Thank you for the promotion.

(Note here, 承蒙was used instead of 謝謝 or 多謝. 承蒙 is an honorific expression of gratitude if I'm not mistaken.)

Evolve:

Strict self-discipline, lead by example, never stop improving.

Skill upgrade:

So this is the Grey Raven's tactical training.

(Bro, I just stuck this in gtranslate ;0; Came out something like "turns out Grey Raven adopted such a tactical exercise method” but I thought that was kind of awkward.)

Equip weapon:

A weapon's strength is determined by its user.

Added to team:

Roger. Strike Hawk's Chrome, reporting for duty.

(Here, Chrome uses the phrase 在此加入, while in his Construct join line, he uses 在此報道. 在此報道 literally means reporting for duty, but tbh "here to join" didn't seem quite right. For "roger," he uses 是 which is comparable to hai in Japanese. Hai, in this context is usually translated as “sir” or “yes sir” but I just went with roger lol. I'm sure there's another phrase that actually is the equivalent to roger or ryokai)

Team leader:

Currently locating its position.

(This one seemed incomplete to me, but Strike Hawk is a recon team I believe, so it does make sense. I just think he'd be more specific than that lol)

Mission complete 1:

Please review the results, Commandant.

General greeting 1:

Strike Hawk usually operates individually, so we have our own communication channels for while we're on missions.

General greeting 2:

After confirming the route, ensure that no one will act rashly. I don't want to get complaints from other teams. Ah, forgive me, Commandant. I was just talking to my team members.

(Ugh this one was so hard ;-; probably screwed something up cri)

General greeting 3:

Commandant, concerning the most recent joint mission, I need to debrief with you as soon as possible. Do you have time now?

(Mmm, I was just guessing at the debrief part. He needs to talk to you about the most recent joint mission but I'm not sure of the exact wording he used.)

General greeting 4:

"Strike Hawk member stationed with Grey Raven Stronghold 101" This is... Kamui's handwriting. Apologies for the trouble, Commandant.

(Not super sure on the note from Kamui but omg lay off him, Chrome. Kamui is best boi)

General greeting 5:

What's wrong Commandant? Is there something that needs to be done? You keep staring at me. My... hair is messed up?

General greeting 6:

What is there to like about normal things? It may be that organized things process more smoothly, which is easier on the ocean ego.

(Ocean ego is a term used by veteran players in their translations, so that's the term I picked. As for the normal/organized thing, think of it like computer processing. Kinda unsure but, it's translated.)

General greeting 7:

Concerning Kamui's temporary deployment application... It's not that I disagree, it's just that if you need assistance, I would also like to help.

(“It’s not that I disagree” is a pretty literal translation. Could also be interpreted as “It’s not that I won’t approve it.”)

General greeting 8:

Regardless of whether it's in combat or in spirit, a team leader must be strictly disciplined and lead by example. The most important thing is to guarantee safety. As long as you understand my meaning.

General greeting 9:

Your private communication channel has been established.

General greeting 10:

If you ever have an emergency, you need to contact me immediately (with our private communication channel). I will be there immediately.

(For this one, I feel like specifying that it's through Chrome and commandant's private channel is unnecessary lol)

General greeting 11:

I want to win every victory for you./ Every victory I win is for you

(Two versions, because the first one is really literal.爲你 is basically “with you in mind” or “for your sake” and the literal translation can be interpreted as he’s doing your work)

General greeting 12:

You have already become my ambition. If you have favorites, I would like to be first among them.

(Okay that second sentence is kind of loosely translated lol. Literally it's "If you have rankings in your heart, I want to be first place" which Idk. I don't particularly like my translation either, but it's less janky.)

Affection increase 1:

Born to excel is… a boring concept, no?

(I think what he’s trying to say is the idea that one is born into greatness is a boring idea lol)

Affection increase 2:

… Many thanks.

Affection increase 3:

Kamui seems to have hit his Inver-device again. Forgive me, I need to go take care of that.

Affection increase 4:

Commandant, please don’t spend money on me.

Affection increase 5:

Perfection is… doing your best, regardless of the odds.

Affection increase 6:

Commandant, do you think honor is more important than safety?

Affection increase 7:

I would like the chance to discuss strategy with the Commandant.

Affection increase 8:

If I may, I would like to know what the Commandant likes.

Affection increase 9:

I want to become your shield, your fortress. I want to become your final answer.

Affection increase 10:

This is the best gift I have ever received.

Affection increase 11:

You are the solution to the world’s ailments.

Affection increase 12:

The gift I’d hoped to receive the most… is already before my eyes.

Idle 1:

Commandant, don’t let your guard down.

(He specifies that it’s during a mission in CN but it’s an idle line so /shrug)

Idle 2:

I look forward to fighting with you, Commandant.

Idle 3:

I am searching for an answer, but the holder of answers… does not say a word.

(I didn’t really know how to translate this one lol. “the holder of answers” is 答案的所有者, which is literally “the owner of answers” but like :p wakaranai.)

Idle 4:

Did something happen? … Nothing, don’t worry. I will be here.

Extended online time 1:

Please remember to rest, Commandant.

Extended online time 2:

Right now is not the time to work, Commandant. As a human, you need plenty of rest to ensure the quality of your work.

Extended online time 3:

Extended time linking minds can cause irreparable psychological damage. Stop overexerting yourself or I will be forced to take disciplinary measures.

Extended online time 4:

Whatever you want me to do, just promise me… you won’t do anything that will harm you, okay?

Connection made 1:

Good day, Commandant.

Connection made 2:

Commandant, you’re here. The new assignment has already been sent. Please give the order.

(This one’s kind of weird. Basically, he’s asking you to approve the assignment he’s sent you.)

Connection made 3:

For now, I’ll assist the Gray Ravens, so please tell me what needs to be done.

(This is a pretty loose translation, but it gets the point across.)

Connection made 4:

It’s good to see you, Commandant.

Connection made 5:

I think I can understand why Kamui is always here.

(ugh okay nerd time, the English just doesn’t convey how much I love this line in CN, but I don’t know how to render it in English without changing it significantly. Literally, it’s like “Why is Kamui always here? I think I can understand his… feelings” but like ugh. You get the point. It’s very much a realization that the Commandant and Grey Raven are people he really enjoys being around and ugh. Am in my feelings about it.)

Connection made 6:

Chrome, online, on standby.

(Not 100% sure of how to translate 聽從指令. Literally, it’s “hearing orders” but I can’t remember the exact phrase in military jargon help ;0;)

Extended offline time 1:

Excellent. I’ve been waiting for you, Commandant.

(So, I think some of Chrome’s lines are missing lol, because the cn wiki only lists one extended time away line, but I’m pretty sure there’s four per unit lol.)

Shake 1:

What is it? A corrupted attack?

Shake 2:

Disorienting…Stay awake, Chrome.

(Mm “Disorienting” was literally dizziness/vertigo. Chrome is really too serious for his own good.)

Shake 3:

Is it… Kamui, or the Commandant? What are they doing?

Quick tap 1:

This… is improper.

(Literally “does not conform to etiquette” but he’s not that stuffy lol)

Quick tap 2:

Is there something wrong?

(Not necessarily in the ‘made a mistake’ sense. I don’t really know how to explain this one. He’s kind of asking “is there somewhere my uniform’s untidy” more than did he do something wrong.)

Quick tap 3:

Please, don’t do that… it’s… a bit… strange…

Activity at max:

Rest is over. Strike Hawk Chrome requesting an envoy mission.

(Not too sure about this one lol. That’s the literal translation but usually activity max lines are reminders to get your rewards lol)

Begin battle:

Pioneers seek victory.

Battle skill 1:

Bring out all your strength

Battle skill 2:

I hope you are satisfied with this

Battle skill 3:

Get behind me

Signature (ultimate):

Go and meet your end

Injured:

Requesting medical assistance

Danger:

Everyone be on guard, change of plans

(Not too sure about this one, but close enough ;-;)

Knocked out:

… I still have more to do

(Literally, “this is a dereliction of duty”)

Assist:

Strike Hawk, team leader Chrome, here to support.

QTE:

Is this all?

Victory:

I promised you I would bring you a victory/ Here is the victory I promised you.

You run into Camu as he is escorted out by a teary-eyed restaurant owner after Camu ate all the food there in a food challenge and won a free meal. Camu (Crocotta): I hate these boring festivals, and I hate that boring park. I especially hate going to that park on one of those festivals. What? Do you take me for a child? Why did I stay if I found them boring? What a stupid question! I was there to keep an eye on you! You were so excited that I thought you'd have jumped off the Ferris wheel if I weren't paying attention. Besides, if it weren't for the fact that you were kind of interesting among all this boring nonsense, I would've been gone already. Don't deal with me the way you deal with Kamui. I'm not that idiot. I always know what I want, Y/N. Commandant: And what would that be?

You run into Changyu, who is holding a handful of game coins at the Game Center. He proceeds to drag you to the gift counter and clear it out. Changyu (Quilin): Hehe, Y/N, look... That's right. These are the coins I won at Game Center! It's the first time I see so many coins in one bucket. I bet I'm a billionaire now... What? I can't use these coins outside the Game Center? How can this be... I was going to use them to buy a gift for you in return... Forget it. At least I'm still the richest one in the Game Center. So, when are you going to the park with me again? I'll give you half of my coins! Commandant: Your happiness is the best gift I can ask for.

While visiting the aquarium, Chrome explains to you the differences between the fishes in different biospheres with more in-depth knowledge than a tour guide. ***Incoming communication from Strike Hawk-Chrome's dedicated channel.*** Chrome (Archlight): You must be back by now, Gray Raven Commandant-I mean, Y/N. I'm sorry to bother you at this hour. It's just that some feelings can only be shared after I carefully choose my words. I don't think I've misinterpreted why you invited me to Venus Splash Park today. It was my honor to spend the day with you. But next time, allow me to take the initiative. Commandant: You better be quick then.

Fully engrossed in the book in his hand, Chrome seems out of place when you are hanging out among the sunbathers down at the beach. Chrome (Glory): On desperate seas long wont to roam... Thy Naiad airs have brought me home, and the grandeur of old Rome. We've trudged through seas and their savage waves, Commandant, and here we are now enjoying ourselves in the sun by the sea. I'm glad we get to spend such a peaceful time together. I hope I will one day be able to give this peaceful sea back to you. Commandant: So will I.

Having witnessed Kamui's failed attempts to surf with Big Kamui several times, you finally stop him and takes him to rent a surfboard. Kamui (Bastion): Commandant! Happy White Day! Heh… Of course I know it is White Day today! I knew I had triggered... Something important when you came to me! So you took me to Venus Splash Park because you selected my route? Regardless, my route for you has never changed! Did you enjoy today, Commandant? Have I picked the best options to increase my Affection? Commandant: You always have, Kamui.

Kamui tries to act cool while playing the dance machine at the Game Center, and you witness the moment he falls flat on his face. Kamui (Tenebrion): You seem happy today, Commandant. You haven't stopped laughing… Because of me? I told you I'd keep smiling for you as long as you like. Did you take me to Venus Splash Park today to cheer me up? Here I thought it was because it's White Day today… Ah! You must know what it is, Commandant! See, you know it… So can I call it a date? It was a date! Crap-now I have to play a few rounds of fighting games to calm down! Yep! Sounds good! Good night, Commandant! I'm not inviting you to my room to play with me. You are not staying overnight! Why? Because I want to wake up early and see you well-rested and energized! Commandant: I'll see you tomorrow, Kamui.

While competing with you at the shooting gallery in the park, Lee manages to shoot down over two bags full of plushies, which the two of you carry back to the rendezvous point. Lee (Entropy): Are you going to bed already? That's fair. You've been out having fun the whole day, after all. It's about time you get some rest. I've just performed maintenance on my frame and cleaned out the salt and sand in my joints. I told you not to run around on the beach. Had you not dived into the waves, I wouldn't have needed to get you back and… Your behaviors are giving me a headache... I looked happy? I wasn't... I only went in because I didn't want my commandant washed away by the waves. That's all. Forget it. You won't listen no matter what I say. It's a special day today, after all, so I'm glad you had fun. Good night, and.. Happy White Day, Commandant. Commandant: Never change, Lee.

Lee (Palefire): The report on Venus Splash Park's restoration was uploaded to the Science Council. It seems that the Engineering Force hasn't been slacking. Construction on the essential conservation area settlement is 72.5% complete. Apart from that, repairs on recreational facilities are 45% complete, somehow. I can't say if the Engineering Force is efficient or if there is just a high demand for that kind of facility. Why are you looking at me like that... Let's be clear-I'm here at the Venus Splash Park with you to collect data. That's all. Fine... Of course I know what day it is today. As I told you before, festivals are humanity's shared memories. I wouldn't want to miss any of them, essential or not. Including today. Understand? Commandant: Of course I do!

So the haunted house is back in business again, with a clown robot by the entrance wearing a creepy smile on its face. Did Roland make this?

Did I say something wrong? Hey, I don't know anything. Well, how about let's do it again? Commandant: I was about to say the same.

Are you going to bed? Um... I've lain down in the maintenance room already. I'm getting ready to enter the sleeping pod. I'm just checking in with you before I go to sleep... Somehow, I can't sleep well without giving you a call. The things we did today took so much energy... How strange it is that I feel like I'm in a weightless dream when I'm with you, but exhaustion surges up once were apart, as if I'm waking up. Yawn... Boggles my mind.

Taking a stroll on the beach, you cannot resist digging up some of the clams and mussels, and you run into Watanabe, who is also squatting on the beach. Watanabe (Nightblade): Thank you for today, Gray Raven Commandant. Venus Splash Park is indeed a nice place. Babylonia has done a respectable job turning it into a settlement. If it is possible... I wish those abandoned and forgotten could visit this place. Sorry for thinking out loud. I know you didn't invite me today for boring and serious discussions. I just never could stop thinking about them. ...Anyway, thank you very much for inviting me on a day like this. Little as it may be... It has changed how I see Babylonia.

Can you hear me? It's me, I'm back at the Forsaken camp. My hair is messy? Oh, the children here "robbed" me when I got back. They're feasting on all the candies you gave me now. Ha... I'm kidding. I knew you prepared the candies for them. My apologies- I know I don't act like this very often around you... I had a really good time today. I still looked weighted down sometimes? I... I suppose I can't help worrying about my comrades even on a day like this. However, when the children asked me about the date... I couldn't help remembering it fondly. Perhaps contradiction is part of our nature. Anyway... Thank you for today. I look forward to... the next. Commandant: I look forward to spending more time with you.

FEMALE CONTRUCTS | RII: 13260710 |

[punishing-eden]

Hello, I want to ask for a headcannon regarding how Liv and Chrome deal with my condition, a person who is picky about eating vegetables and fruit. Are they going to advise me or what? Because I was really picky and often refused to eat some food if it's contain things like eggplant, papaya and so on, end up having stomachache.

Thank you very much.

Operation: E.Y.G....

Pgr Chrome + Liv Head canons

Tags: Fluff, headcanons

You have a bad habit, and you know it. Yet, it never bothered you. Finishing your meal, you got up from your seat in the cafeteria. With the food tray in your hands, you walked up to the utensil collection station; not knowing, there were a pair of eyes looking at you, as you returned your food tray, still, with untouched greens on it...

Liv (Benediction)

Your pickiness is driving her into a frantically frenzy.

She would first tell you about your bad habit of being picky with your vegetable.

You promised her to change.

Until, Liv walked into the cafeteria one day, and saw your vegetables on your plate, untouched.

She gets upset, "C-Commandant! Did you hear what I said a week ago?!"

In reality, you never put what she said about eating your greens at heart. You forgot about it completely.

Ever since, Liv would make extra effort to give you reminders to eat your greens.

"Commandant, don't forget to eat this at least [insert healthy amount] of fibre." she said.

Her tone is never harsh or mean. More so, her tone is soft, but firm.

Sometimes, she would watch you eat, and will not leave until you finishes everything in the plate.

Usually, she won't take such extreme measures, but she couldn't gurantee that you would stick to your promise.

Besides, it's nice to break out of a bad habit.

Chrome (Archlight)

One day, Chrome was looking for you. He heard you were at the cafeteria, hence he went, and saw you eating by yourself.

He walked up to you to ask a series of questions and other mission related things. Only to constantly get distracted by the untouched greens on your plate.

Once the conversation ended, Chrome watched, as you threw away the greens and place the food tray at the collection station.

It bugged him to some extent, yet, he refrains from voicing his opinion, as he believed it was none of his business.

However, the notions of, "A good Commandant, is a healthy Commandant", was something Chrome also firmly believes.

He can't risk to have a mission go wrong if you weren't in the fittest condition.

Unlike Liv, he would, somehow, coax you you increase your intake of fibre and leafy greens.

Such as, randomly put out facts about the benefits of eating vegetables. Or, he would suggest you taking supplements under the guise of, "I heard they help improve your immune system and organ function."

You never caught on. Yet, you never really gave in.

It's not a must for Chrome to get you to stay healthy as with Liv, however if it does impact your health in a huge way, he will not be on standby.

[punishing-eden]

hello you just got a new follower! I really love PGR and I was wondering if you could make a kissing hcs with lee, qu, Lucia, wantanbe, chrome, and Camui (evil kamui) thanks

Give me a kiss...

Pgr kissing Headcanons

Not beta read

Sitting on the table, there was a book. Although it may be a normal piece of reading material to a person, to a construct, it's more than a book for reading. It's a book to learn how to be more human...

Lee (Palefire)

Lee knows what 'Kissing' is, and has no interest in giving anyone one.

But, if he were to kiss you, he would do it discreetly.

It's just a quick small peck, but because he does it so hastily, Lee often would miss the initial target area.

Isn't stubborn about just missing a few cm off your cheeks, lips, or forehead. Etc.

Because he feels embarrassed and wants to end it quickly. He would avoid eye contact as he gets 'overheated' .

Tells you to keep this encounter a secret from others.

His kisses feels light and soft.

Murray will be jealous

Qu (Pavo)

If you ask for kisses politely, Qu would put it into consideration.

Believes a kiss from her is to be earned and won't give it to anyone that easily.

Although, when the criteria is met and the time is right, Qu would kiss you.

She would slowly come closer and give the kiss on the forehead first.

Next time it would be your ears, nose, and jawline. Etc. Slowly working up to the lips

Her movements are slow, and she lingers her kisses a little bit.

Lucia (Lotus)

Gets flustered when she thinks about it. Lucia is not used to being intimate with someone.

It would take a while for her to agree to give a kiss.

Having read about kissing in this one particular book, Lucia would need a little bit of time to psych herself up.

Whenever Lucia does something she does it diligently, this includes kissing.

She would give it on the cheek, a small decent kiss.

Doesn't have anything else added to her kiss. It would just be a simple one that is enough for her. Because she will get too embarrassed.

Will only do it when no one is watching.

Watanabe (Nightblade)

Kissing is the last thing on his mind.

Watanabe has no time and interest in these things. Because he believes right now is not the time to indulge in personal desires.

But, if his dreams were to come true, in a field full of flowers, he will then finially indulge in the act of kissing.

In his M. I. N. D, he pictures himself would give soft and gentle kisses.

But in reality, he never did something like this before and it ended up being a bit rough and awkward.

Watanabe would ask for advice from others so that next time it would be a better experience.

Chrome (Archlight)

"A kiss...?" Chrome repeated the request. He only has a look of confusion, but other than that he does not react.

More so, he does a good job suppressing his feelings on that matter. It's unprofessional to think of these things while on duty.

But he would ruminate on that thought until his duty ends.

His kisses are warm and gentle, treating you like glass. Chrome will never go rough.

He would give it on the forehead and that's pretty much how far he would go. Anything more than that he might lose control and get flustered.

Camu (Crocotta)

Hates any physical contact because of his past, this includes kissing.

He's insecure about his current state, and how he can easily infect others with the virus if not for the serums.

He would kiss you if he sees it as a challenge; does it to prove a point.

His kisses are rough and aggressive and can leave you breathless and messy with drool.

Despite that, if Camu were to kiss you on his terms, it's surprisingly light. Because he cares.

Would go for another peck if you weren't looking.

Hi been following your blog for a while now and I finally racked up the courage to ask for a request.

The new Chrome Glory frame's idle voice line was super cute like Skk just falling asleep and Chrome sing-songing them to wake up or they'll get a cold but skk doesn't absolute fluff.

It however got me thinking Skk is very overworked their character is so hardworking that in Echo Aria they were fading in and out of consciousness but was insisting they were fine.

I'm a sucker for a sickfic or one of those fics where one has to tell the other to go sleep because they can tell their tired or the fics where the other can't sleep and the other soothes them to sleep.

A bit indulgent I know, but they, funny enough also help me sleep because my mind just constantly races. Any one of those scenarios would be cute to read with Chrome either frame.

Thank you for reading.

Being Here with You...

Chrome (Archlight) x Commandant/Reader

Summary:

Having caught a fever during a battle you have no choice but to rest. With Chrome, he is here to make sure you recover well enough to head back to the base.

Tags: Fluff, Sickfic, Sleeping fic, one-shot, request

Trudging your way through the battlefield, you noticed your breathing got heavier. you couldn't help but feel your eyes water from your fatigue. 'no,' you said to yourself, 'I must keep moving!'

Sluggishly, you leg felt heavy as you began to fall behind from your team.

"Commandant?" Lucia turned around and asked.

The dizziness began to pick up its momentum, hitting you in waves as you tried to focus on your mission. The rain, at this point, started to pour a little harder.

"I am fine," you managed to speak.

Forcing yourself to push through, you ignored the warnings and concerns from others about your crammed schedule that suddenly arose in your mind. As if now you have finally realised how bad your health has plummeted, with one last step, too weak to support your weight yourself, you came falling down on the muddy ground.

"Commandant!"

*******************

The sky went from dark to light grey as the rain poured heavily, washing the scent of oil and vital fluids away.

"Temperature's reaching 37 degrees," Liv said.

Her hands gently swipe a strand of hair from your forehead. Your clothes have been disposed of near a makeshift campfire, leaving you with your undershirt and shorts.

Lucia had just come back with more firewood and had added them to the fire. In hopes, to dry your clothes as soon as possible.

You shift slightly, head resting on Liv's lap, and you pulled on Lucia and Lee's jacket closer. Trying to suppress the involuntarily cold shivers running through your body.

"How's Commandant?" Lucia asked.

There was a look of worry on Liv's face, "Fever's starting to run high," she said.

"I have used Commandant's comm to request for a medic," Lee said, "They should be here by-"

Suddenly, your comms in his hands began to ring. A new message came through.

Lee accepted the message and proceeded to send it to everyone's inner devices. There was a moment of silence as the group comprehended the message. With a frustrated sigh, he commented, "Group D needs backup... Now is not a good time..."

"I-I could stay with Commandant, while you go..." Liv suggest, although she wasn't confident in this decision.

The two other construct heasitated.

"The location of Group D is by the port on the other side. If anything is happening here, we won't make it in time." Lucia said.

Your comms rung again, it was another backup request from another group. This time they need a support construct.

"This is annoying..." Lee mumbled.

The group went silent, trying to think of solutions. They can't just leave you behind when you were having a fever.

Your comms notification went off again alerting, and hurrying your constructs to make a decision. Thinking hard, Lucia was the first to speak up," Lee said help is on its way, we should stay here until they come."

Her teammates both nodded in agreement.

"Whoever is coming, I hope they will be here soon," Lucia said.

"Well, you are just in luck, Lucia," Lee said as he point at the distance. Still foggy from the downpours, the Grey Ravens were able to make out a silhouette running towards them.

"A medic?" Liv asked.

As the figure approached. The group finally saw who had arrived. Drench in rain, water droplets dropped from his blond hair to his synthetic skin. Chrome came at the right time.

Catching his breath, he places the silver case, which he has been carrying the whole time, on the ground. Kneeling by your side he asked, "How's Commandant?"

"Fever is running high, Commandant has experience a few cold seizures. I have been able to keep the fever in check," Liv reported.

She, along with Chrome's help, moved you away from her lap to the ground. "Do you have any medicine at hand?" She asked Archlight.

Responding with a nod, Chrome went to the silver case and opened it. He took out his neatly folded white overcoat and underneath were medical supplies. Taking out a few bottles of pills, he let Liv inspect them. "Which one do you need? I got your call and hurried my way here. Wanshi couldn't come because he's got a hand full on our end."

"Looks like everyone is stretched tight for this operation," Lee said and got his gun ready, "Since Strike Hawk is here, I am more relief to leave Commandant."

Lucia nodded, "Chrome, do you mind taking care of Commandant while we are gone?"

"Noted," Chrome nodded, "I will send our coordinates to the base camp, so the reinforcements can come to pick us up."

"You have our many thanks," Lucia said. She then turned to you, still weak, as Liv held you up so, Chrome can give you the medication.

"Commandant, please be safe. We will be back," Lucia said and followed Lee to the port.

Carefully, Chrome held the bottle of water against your lip as you drank. After swallowing the pill, both Liv and Chrome placed you back down on the ground.

"As soon as the clothes are dry, put them on Commandant to prevent hypothermia. The most important thing is to keep the chest area warm," Liv instructed, "The medication lasts for about two hours, so please remember to give Commandant another dose then."

"Same dosage?" Chrome asked diligently.

"Yes, this medication tends to be drowsy. So don't overdose." Liv got the other bottle and continued, "These can also work as pain killers, if Commandant is in any pain you can also use these."

"Noted."

Liv gave an assured smile and nodded, "Thank you for doing this, I will be off now."

"Rest assured. I will take care of Commandant." Chrome promised. He watched as Liv ran in the other direction to help the other group.

Now alone with you, Chrome was confident to make sure you can survive out on this battlefield until the rescue team comes.

Resting your head on his lap, he grabbed his white overcoat, since he place it in the briefcase, the clothing was nice and dry. He managed to wrap it around you as your body shivered.

The construct stayed still for a long while as you rest. Eyes diligently survey the surroundings for anything feasible danger, but so far, there was none.

For a moment, he got a little distracted and looked down at you, still lying asleep on his lap. He studied your face since it was the first time he saw you sleeping so peacefully. Your brows were, for once, not furrowed together and your hands weren't fisted tightly.

You slept without a care.

As much as Chrome wanted to let you sleep, he checked the time before his hand gently hover above your face. He remains stoic and quiet. Thinking hard to himself. Staying in this position for a while, he let out a small breath and moved his hand to your shoulder, poking you lightly.

You did not stir.

He poked a little harder.

No reaction.

He tapped on your shoulder harder and you woke.

"Hmmm..." you let out a protest. Your head felt light as you slowly got up.

Groggily looking around, you notice Chrome next to you. Wiping the sleep away from your face, your vision cleared with Archlight in front of you, holding a water bottle and a little pink pill in his other hand.

Confused you looked at Chrome, but he spoke before you could ask him what was going on.

"Oh good you are awake, it's time to take your medicine," he said.

"Medicine?" you asked.

"Do you not know what happened?" Chrome asked.

You shook your head, head still feeling terrible, but it felt much better than before.

"My head hurts... Where are the others?" you asked. As Chrome gestures insisted, you took the pill, popped it in your mouth, and took a swig from the bottle of water.

"They currently placed in different stations as a backup. I am tasked to supervise you before the reinforcements come." Chrome explained.

No matter how thorough his explain was, you didn't quite hear him. Your mind wandering with disoriented thoughts. Your face, still flushed with fever, you spoke, "I got to find them..."

Stubbornly, you fought the fatigue and were about to stand up when Chrome quickly grabbed you and pulled you back down, "Commandant, wait! You are still sick, it is best to stay here and recover than engage in battle."

"I will be fine... I did this before..." you protested.

"No, it's too dangerous." Chrome argued, struggling to pull you back by the arm.

Your brows furrowed, annoyed by the construct's actions. Seeing how much you insisted on leaving, Chrome had no choice but to wrap his arms around you and pull you back down with him.

"Forgive me Commandant, but I must keep you safe," he said sternly. He held you tight as you wiggled about.

Only, for your movements began to slow down. Your protest grew weak and before you know it, you let out a big yawn.

"See?" Chrome spoke softly, "Please take a rest, Commandant."

"..." you went quiet and gave your current situation a thought. You couldn't argue that your eyelids were feeling heavy. Your head was still pounding, and your body was screaming for you to let it take adequate rest.

"...fine, I guess I could take this opportunity to "slack off", like how everyone has been telling me to." you made a dissatisfied look. Looking up, your eyes met with Chrome's, "Just wake me up ten minutes before the reinforcements arrive."

With that, you lay your head against Chrome's chest. Following the rhythm of his breathing; you know it's artificial but you never paid mind. Slowly, you drifted off to your very much-needed slumber. Naturally, you snuggled close to Chrome, finding comfort from his arms holding on to you. somewhat also acting as a mattress or the alike.

This left Archlight in a rather troubling position. What would he suppose to do if he needs to move? Should he wake you up when you are supposed to stay asleep? However, he thought that maybe this isn't so bad.

"Really...what must it take for you to get some rest? " He lets out a defeat sign with a smile. He doesn't mind being your bed, if it means for you to recover and get some rest.

Regardless, shifting his arms securely around you, he adjust his coat to make sure you were warm enough before returning his gaze to survey the area.

Author's notes

As I wrote this, I was thinking should I go for a sick fic or a sleep fic. Then I thought, why not both?

Tbh, I actually haven't done Echos Aria yet. (I also didn't get S Chrome) :/

Maybe, I might get to it in the future.

[punishing-eden]

What if the Constructs turned into Animals?

Part 3

Previous part

Asmoiv is at it again...

Chrome (Archlight)

Is it a bird? Is it a plane?

No, it's a Sugar Glider!

Always perched either on your head or shoulder, Chrome is like your little GPS that can help you navigate your way through the crowd.

With agility and speed, his new frame is really good at pin pointing targets and conduct stealth missions.

The most unique feature is his gliding. He had trouble adjusting to flight, but after many trials and error, Chrome now is a gliding expert.

He had to jump down from boxes multiple of times for Asmoiv to examine possible readjustment to the frame.

Very compliant throughout the whole transition.

Likes to be on high places, especially on people's head.

Has trouble controlling Kamui due to his size. Kamui would just lick Chrome to shut him up.

Kids love him though. He's so small and cute. Plus, he can fly.

Wanshi (Hypnos)

The day of his transformation, was the beginning of a nightmare for Lee.

If Wanshi is in a room, you will never be able to find him.

1. He hides and sleeps. 2. He legit looks like a lump of fluffy fur when he sleeps, so people often mistakes him for a pillow.

Despite his lazy and carefree attitude, many people admire Wanshi's frame for his luscious white fur, and his adorable purring whenever someone scratches him.

That made Lee jealous. Wanshi acts more like a pet, than an animal support construct.

Sleeps for 28 hours a day, and he is one of those cats that likes to suffocates people by sleeping on their face.

And distract people from their work.

Doesn't mind getting turned into a cat, in fact he actually loved it.

Wanshi might look like a prized pet, but in reality, he takes his healer job seriously.

He heals the soul. Do you have a bad day? Have no fear Cat Wanshi is here!

Proceeds to sit on your lap and play cute to cheer you up.

Bianca (Zero)

Opposite from her soft looks, what came out of Asmoiv's office had people running at a different direction.

Marble colour, eyes glow in gold, Bianca emerges as a wolf.

A quiet construct, likes to look out of the window. She looks out to the moon and just stares.

Her staring made her look like she was worshipping or even praying.

Is one of the constructs that looks out for rabbit Liv most of the time.

Has a built in tracking function that allows her to track the tiniest trace of almost anything.

When Bianca locks down a target, she will go after it non stop. Unless, there is something to intervene that prey drive.

Which Asmoiv still haven't figure out yet.

Probably has the most unstable frame out of all constructs.

The door to your common room slide open, you saw your constructs entered, all grumbling and looking spent.

Usually, you would greet them but today they were not in the mood.You figured, maybe they need something to wind down.

"Hey, you know, the Science department," you suddenly pipped up, "I heard they have a Petting Zoo. Maybe, you guys can go and have a look."

"Petting Zoo?" another voice spoke.

To your surprise, Asmoiv was standing by the doorway. With an annoyed looked he said, "I do not stand by with such rumors, Commandant of Grey Raven. The Science department is not a theme park."

Scoffing, he turned towards your constructs and said, "Lucia, Lee, and Liv. Come on, we still have tests to do with your new frames."

Hearing that, Lee groaned while Lucia sighed. Without a word, they all headed back to get their animal frames fitted.

You, dumbfounded as ever, spoke to yourself, "... But I swore I saw a Petting Zoo in his office..."

To be continued?

[punishing-eden]

I saw your notification and seeing this post wanna make me ask for scenarios/HC. You can reject it if you don't want to do it, because this one is kind of sensitive topic.

As we know that Christmas is getting closer, of course the Commander will help Construct colleagues in decorating and buying the necessary items. What if actually the commander themself cannot carry out the Christmas event because their beliefs are different from them? How's everyone or someone break the ice when they find out about this?

Ecspecially Gray Raven and Strike Hawk, because most of the time Commander share memories with these two group. Actually, I want Chrome's headcannons on this situation and how he handle things to go smooth.

I ask about this because I don't celebrate Christmas because of my beliefs, but I also have family member who celebrate Christmas so I respect them, I also want to know what they might think.

Thanks in advance. I hope you have good time and happy holiday, admin ☺️🎉

When you don't Celebrate Chirstmas...

Grey Ravens and Strike Hawk headcanon

How would they react if you are u don't Celebrate Christmas?

Tags: request, Babylonia cultural shift (Concept and Headcanon)

Towards the end of the year, it was customary for you to reflect on the many things that happened. The bond between you and constructs grew by each day and you thought, it would be nice to give each one of them an end-of-year evaluation.

With a handful of paper reports, you made your way towards the Grey Raven Common room. Knocking on the door to alert your presence, the automatic door slide open and much to your surprise, the room was filled with decorations of all sorts. You wonder why was everyone setting the room up, until you remembered, the books mentioned festivals during the Golden Age and one of them is called, Christmas.

'Ah, that must be it.' you thought to yourself.

"Ah, Commandant is here!" Kamui exclaimed while trying to hold up his Big Sword, which acted as a Christmas tree.

"Commandant! It's not fair that Lucia is getting all the decorations tasks! Give me those tasks too!!" Karenina complained.

You could only stand still and watch as the chaos unfold before you. "Commandant!" "Commandant." "Commdant~" "Commandant, Commandant, Comm-"

"Actually..." you cut everyone off, "I don't believe in celebrating this..."

Chrome (Archlight)

When Chrome hears you don't Celebrate Christmas, he immediately takes out his Plan B.

He has everything figured out. He has planned thing ahead and if such things unexpected arises, he's ready.

He doesn't mind that you don't celebrate Christmas, even if it bums Kamui out. People only learn about celebrations after Babylonia was fully established

While everyone was comprehending what to do with your answer, Chrome immediately steps up as a leader and said, "Is that so, I read that there are many other traditions that don't Celebrate Christmas or, have no similar celebrations during the Golden Age. Maybe this year, we can try something new and different."

He is curious about your beliefs and wants to learn more about them. Was genuinely surprised to learn that your beliefs have roots travelling beyond the Golden Age.

Under your suggestions, he takes the initiative to rearrange the party into something meaningful for you.

Chrome feels proud of himself when he sees his hard work was up to your liking. He takes a mental note to ask you for your celebration preferences next time.

Kamui (Bastion/ Tenebrion)

Bummed out when he hears they are not going to celebrate Christmas. He was looking forward to the presents and food.

Mainly because he got you something and wanted to use Christmas as an excuse to give it to you. It makes his gift feel a little more special.

He feels troubled by this, but luckily Chrome caught on to his troubled looks.

"I am not sure if Commandant would want this gift since there's no Christmas..." Kamui confessed.

"Well, you give gifts even when it's not Christmas. So, what makes this different?" Chrome asked. "Because it makes the gift more special!"Kamui exclaimed.

He mopes about but will still follow through with what Chrome has re-arranged. When he finds out there's still going to be a big feast, Kamui turns all smiley.

Under Chrome-ma's nagging persuasion, he finally lets go of the Christmas rule and gives you the gift anyway.

Wanshi (Hypno)

Fantastic 🎉

This means he can be let go from decorating duty.

Wanshi was never bothered by celebrations.

When he heard you don't celebrate Christmas, internally, he rejoices in the fact he doesn't need to waste time attending parties or social gatherings. Christmas can get pretty wild.

He enjoys this new tradition that you suggested because it seems to require less effort, on his part.

Even, when Chrome has to drag him to participate, he still likes it because it's not too festive.

Doesn't mind doing this all over again next year.

Lee (Palefire)

"Actually...I don't believe in celebrating this..." He heard you say.

Palefire.exe. stopped working.

He thought he got you figured out. But when his predictions were off. He just couldn't handle it.

But, Lee recovers fast. He would be second to Chrome to help rearrange things.

During that time, he researches your beliefs and traditions more thoroughly. Following the facts to the Tee during the rearrangement.

There's no tension between him and Chrome, because both of them see several things eye to eye.

Lucia (Lotus)

No Christmas?

Finds it a little perplexing, but if you want to do whatever celebrations, sure she will follow through.

Does her best to follow Chrome's plan diligently.

Though Lucia is not all too familiar with your traditions, she's a faster learner. With your guidance, she will perform accordingly.

The more she learns about your beliefs and traditions, the more she feels she understands you.

Just don't put her in kitchen duty.

Liv (Benediction)

Feels terrible because she felt she was leaving you out.

However, you reassured her that it was fine.

100% on board with your suggestions and her duties to help.

Regardless of any celebrations, Liv enjoys spending time having fun with everyone.

She would listen to Lee's fact drop about your tradition and familiarise herself with terms and names.

When other people decided to join in, Liv acts as a guide to tell them about the traditions and meaning behind things.

[punishing-eden]

What makes them go mad...

Pgr bois angry headcanons

What pushes the contruct's buttons, or, things that gives them a small M.I.N.D Deviation.

⚠️Tw: Aggressive behaviour, physical contact when angry, self hatred⚠️

Lee (Palefire/ Entropy)

Kamui

Lee is a construct that runs on logic and factual statements. So, if there are things that runs, just a little off, he would get annoyed.

Like the time when both of you were watching a movie during Valentines. Lee legit got upset over the running time being one minute less. (I don't make the rules, Kuro did)

You can try to test his patience by telling him untrue facts or data insisting they are correct.

Lee would not back down from that, "Agree to disagree..." or "Sorry, but I simply don't see how......"

Gets even more annoyed and irratated if you drag Kamui into the conversation. It's two verse one.

When Lee has enough of this argument and your childish attitude, he would excuse himself. "Anyway, this isn't something worth fighting over..." and turns to leave.

He doesn't see the point in continuing, especially if you are so insisted on that fact. It's pointless.

Kamui (Tenebrion)

Kamui doesn't strike as a person to act aggressive towards others.

He would express his anger in a more subtle way.

If you were to think it's fun to annoy him, Kamui doesn't bite, but rather tells you off in a passive aggressive way.

"If you are going to do this others, make sure to noted that other will do the same to you some day. So, don't cry when that happens, okay?" ヾ(о-ω･)ﾉ⌒★

Or, something like, "You really are quite annoying today."

But if you were to really push it and proceed to use him as the butt of a joke, he would straight up tell you, "That's not cool." and gets a little distant from you.

Camu (Crottota)

You better not do anything to make him mad. He barks and he bites.

He likes to be independant, so if you were to restrict his freedom, he get's hella annoyed.

Once he is annoyed, his mood plummets and at this point you are walking on eggshells.

When you comment on his tardiness, he would click his tongue and tried to shut you off.

When your nagging falls on deaf ears, you reach out to fix his head scarf, and that just triggers him.

Would 100% not heasitate get physical. Camu grabs your hand, tightly, before you can touch him, and push away.

Of course another thing that get's him to loose his cool, would be his insecurities of being a compositor.

Of you mention something about his current state and he misinterpreted that...

He grabs your shirt and pull you towards him. He growls, "You say that again?"

Chrome (Archlight)

Would it be a surprise to find when Chrome gets angry, he gets angry at himself? Even if he is mad at others, it would usually be very short lived.

He spend so much time and brain/mind power to make a flawless plan only for it to backfire or some unforseen factor ruined it.

Chrome would be angry at himself for not doing his job properly.

He would be devasted if you are the cost of the failure.

After the failed mission, he will be responsible and own up to his mistakes, even if it couldn't be helped in the first place.

If someone mentions about his failures, or how "he got you injured", it hits Chrome in a sore spot. But he won't fight back or make a rebuttal.

Keeps his head down and works even harder to not let the same thing happen again.

Changyu (Qilin)

Being new to Babylonia, Changyu would have felt a little unfamiliar with the place.

This is especially when he has to abide to a certain set of rules, militarily. He no longer can have a carefree lifestyle like the one in Akidilek.

Would, at first, find the rule reinforcing annoying. But, still abide, because it is a small cost for great living conditions.

But when the rules starts to become a big set back for him, Changyu gets frustrated. Such as, if his friends are in trouble.

"Commandant, please let me come with you!"

If you try to reinforce the rules onto him again, he would get really angry and just walk off to somewhere ignoring your calls.

He needs to blow off some steam before he can talk to you again.

Watanabe (Astral/Nightblade)

It's Babylonia and its higher ups. What more is there to say?

After everything he had been through, he would get mad if, you sided completely with Hassen or Nikola.

Watanabe's trust level with you would drop.

He puts his family, The Forsaken, first so if anything happens to them... It's war.

For you to jeopardise his family, he's not willing to let you do that.

Another thing that would annoy Watanabe is, if you try to get him talk about his issue with Babylonia.

You bet, you are stepping into a landmind.

He would warn you not to tread further with this conversation. But, if you insist. He would give up and give you a vague answer.

He gives you an angry look and march away. Just don't expect he would give you a warm welcome when you visit The Forsaken.

[scalpel-mom-mori]

final stretch :DDDDDDDDD Chrome Archlight should be up tonight!
