Lucas Errant x GN! Reader

Author's note: For my love that resides in Tokyo Debunker. This post goes from A to H. It got a bit too long since I really like him (both as a character and in general) and also I ended up loosely following what was given, so I hope you enjoy! This template I borrowed from belongs to the-coldest-goodbye.

pt. 1 (you're here!), pt. 2, pt. 3

A = Affection (How affectionate are they? How do they show affection?)

Luca is an incredibly affectionate guy when you are in a relationship with him. His words expresses his love towards you in the form of compliments whenever he sees even the slight changes in you, though his affection towards you shines the strongest through his actions.

Luca is more of a person who prefers to show his affection behind closed doors, which are a lot more intimate and personal. That includes hugging, kissing, cuddling, or just even enjoying each other's presence. Of course, he would prefer if things go slow, and he would ask that so. He is sort of traditional when it comes to courtship and he is taught that these acts that he displays when it is just the two of you should be bound between couples and that there are levels of affection that are appropriate according to the type of relationship. So him showing his love towards you would feel more suited for old married couples than for a freshly-bloomed relationship.

His affection, and also getting into a romantic relationship in general, is also a sign that he hopes to get married to you one day. Given his situation of finding his twin brother, he makes it clear when you two become a couple that he would like to get married to you one of these days. These all stem from the fact that he never considers romance as a light subject. His way of showing his affection will follow the textbook example of how a gentleman would court a lady. But those very same, cheesy acts of affection that are filled with all of his heart makes it all the more sweet.

In public, his actions are so wholesome and thoughtful. Will pull a chair for you, will ensure that you are not having any problem, is incredibly vigilant about your surroundings, and walking to match your pace among many other things. Though if you think you are being babied or that it is getting suffocating (and at times it might feel like that given how protective he can get) once you tell him, he will remember it and try to dial it back but that is a bit difficult for him to not stand just next to you. Unless something catastrophic happens that flares up his desire to protect you, he will try to make sure that you do not feel the same thing again. He loves you after all and because you have shown such great trust to get into a relationship with him, even after knowing his circumstances, he wants to make sure that you do not feel uncomfortable in the relationship.

He is able to handle PDA, but again, it tends to be limited to hugs, handholding and maybe even a few sneaky kisses to the cheek. If you initiate it with these actions, then he will follow through with it. He will never be the one to initiate PDA since he thinks he would overstep your boundaries and also the fact that he is the epitome of of a gentleman so it ends up being your responsibility to hug him and stick next to him. Though the last one is already fulfilled by Luca himself.

B = Best friend (What would they be like as a best friend? How would the friendship start?)

Mr. Ride or Die. Sincere man with a sincere heart and mind. Just tell him the problem and he will do whatever that is within his power to fix it. That's what he wants in any given relationship— communication. This is what he needs to understand because even in a platonic or romantic relationship, it is sort of difficult to pick up on certain hidden agendas or ideas. If the friendship has been going on for a long while, then he might be able to pick it up since by now he understands what his friends are comfortable with but it is still always best talk to him about it. Even if he thinks this is for defending his friend's honour or worse, try to fight the ones who maimed his close ones, he is quick on setting things straight. He will try to talk it out but he is sort of hot-headed when it comes to these things. He is just a good-hearted man who wants others to know that his friends are kind of cool and to be respectful with them.

Just as how he has shown time and time again, especially in the beginning of the first chapter of Frostheim, he might impose his principals upon people. But that also makes him good at pep talking? Not in the sense that he would say weird things but instead he has an optimistic tone whenever he talks about it. Just like how he tends to lightly reprimand Kaito, Luca would also extend that towards you. However, he would also push you forward through his trust and sincere words of encouragement.

Please guide him in certain Japanese aspects. Even though he knows the language, it is shown in instances that Luca still has somewhat of a loose grip in Japanese culture. Like how he doesn't know a satsuma mochi, or when he needs help in understanding what Japanese words would fit better in certain parts of sentences, and also how he went full on severely apologizing when he wrote his speech because he thought that Japanese culture is big on politeness. Just, show him to be a bit less tense. Maybe tell him that his shoulders are tensing up a lot and he should loosen up a bit. But maybe even then he would say that he didn't feel any tension in his shoulder and would take it literally.

We all know how that friendship started, though it's interesting to think what happens in that friendship. He really appreciates that you and Kaito are his first friends in Japan. Maybe he felt a tad bit alien to a new place, and even though he knows the language, knows what to do and what not, things still slip past him and there are no close reminders for him about his home. When the three of you sit together discussing what food you want from the cafeteria, when he lightly admonishing you or Kaito (mostly Kaito) to focus a bit more in class, when you and Luca stare at awe whenever Kaito is carefully preparing cookies that would resemble the three of you, when you tend to complain about the aggravating things that happen to you during missions and both him and Kaito chime in agreement to what you say or get angry for you, it is those moments that make him feel like he has made a new home. In a place where he is running around to find clues for his lost brother and finding ways to subjugate demons, he really appreciates and values the friendship immensely to the point he will fight to protect and honour this bond, even if he has to crawl to continue fighting.

When it is just the two of you, he is attentive of what you do and say. If you feel a bit hungry or feel a bit down, have some biscuits he always carries to feel a bit better. It reminds him of his brother and seeing you enjoy something that his brother likes makes him feel happy, as if he is seeing the same joy that his brother would show. It also feels like this is usually how he cheered his brother. With a shortbread biscuit.

C = Cuddles (Do they like to cuddle? How would they cuddle?)

In the affection part, it is mentioned that he is more of a behind the closed doors sort of intimate affection giver. And that includes cuddles.

It's sort of difficult to pinpoint when the two of you started cuddling, though most probably you have to be the first one to open up to the idea of cuddling. It wouldn't occur in his mind to cuddle you and would not ask for it almost every time when you two are alone together in either his or your room. It would only be after a while that he would ask whether it is alright for him to cuddle you, when it has now become a sort of ritual whenever he is a tad bit busy and you just wanna soak in his presence. On a cold and chilly night, he would put a blanket over himself and wrap his arms around you carefully since he wants you to be nice and cozy, so he thinks that his body heat and the warmth provided by the blanket would make you feel comfortable.

He would first be a bit neutral to cuddles since, after knowing what cuddles are, he would view them as an action that certain people who are close to each other do. But with you, his cuddles in the beginning would be a bit rigid. He knows where to place his hands but should he lean his head and press it next to your head? Should he squeeze you bit more since he thinks this hug might be a bit loose? Would you allow that? All these questions are swirling in his mind that it has to be you who has to ease him into cuddling. Yes Luca, you are free to lean your head. Yes, you can squeeze the hug a bit more, it's not like you will pop and if it does feel a bit painful you will tell him straight away. You will always tell him what is on your mind, after all, communication is key. And for the first time, Luca's heart fluttered more than usual when you inch closer to him to further get into the cuddle. After that, he is more into cuddles.

It will also become a tradition that when he would be reading a few books, if it piques your interest he will do his best to try and translate foreign words or context to help you understand. And if it is in Japanese, then be prepared to be asked a lot of questions about certain kanji being used and whatnot.

If some of the cuddles involves kissing, then his kisses will be shy and soft, but determined and sincere. He is more inclined to caress your back or head but kissing? You would surely hear his heart beating rapidly when you place your back against his chest when you ask for a kiss. But once time passes, he would be comfortable with it and ease into it more.

D = Domestic (Do they want to settle down? How are they at cooking and cleaning?)

Here is the thing. He would be finding his brother and the thought of settling down does not bode well for him. He does not want to burden others. But it also feels like Luca would settle and also still try to find his brother. Again with the thing of him being self-assured and confident in his strength and capabilities that he tends to fail to notice intricacies and nuances of the situation.

But in the end, it is more probable that he would be prioritizing finding his brother over settling. His partner would have to understand that he is separated from his twin brother that was with him. He can't just stop for a minute to arrange a wedding and all. So settling before Luca finds his brother is out of the picture.

When you do get settled in with Luca, just think of it like an old couple enjoying their retirement stage together. Maybe you two would be living together in his childhood home where he grew up in, telling you all sorts of incidents that happened in those nooks and crannies with such a cute smile. You would be given the freedom to get your own stuff too so you can also have a room to do your stuff as well. He would also be fine if you want to have a job or settle down. He will make sure that you are comfortable in the house he grew up in as you will now be a significant part of his memories that will now be attached to this place he grew up in.

Of course think of afternoon tea time, or coffee time, with him as you two talk about your stuff that happened or topics you find interesting. He will be busy with taking care of the house as he is the heir to it and he was preparing for it ever since he was young. But he will always make sure to take out a part of his time from his schedule to spend time with you. He will always be happily greeting you with a smile when you wake up in the morning for breakfast, waiting for you to settle down before he eats his own food. Would you like to have a morning walk with him after the meal? The path surrounding the house is beautiful in the fall and he would love to see you enjoy the brisk chilly morning while seeing the soft speckled sunlight illuminating your way.

It feels difficult to imagine him living away from his house, to be honest. He is an heir of the family after all, he can't just leave it as it is. The reason he is far away from the UK is because he is finding a way to subjugate a demon and find clues about his twin brother, and that would be the only time that he would be far away from his home. It would have to take a lot of convincing from both sides for him to settle somewhere else. He would even insist that you come to his home and stay there. But if that doesn't seem doable for you, then maybe a long distance relationship? Though it hurts him a lot, he will try to make it work it out. You are your own person, and he does not want to stop you from achieving the best possible thing for yourself.

While settling down, in Luca's opinion, does entail living together, he does not want you to compromise in the name of 'settling down' on his behalf just because of his opinion. If it means that you two have to live far away from each other, then so be it. He won't let this cause a dent in the relationship and would double-down on showing his love for you even more than before, if that was even possible. He'll try to take it in a positive light, he can always call you anytime. He will still miss you dearly to the point of itching to just pick up the phone and video call you right there and then even after having a lengthy conversation with you. But the moment that hits him the strongest, where his willpower crumbles is when he one day, after having a particularly rough reminder that you are living far away from him, wakes up in his bed all alone with no signs of you in sight and the only way he could have seen your sleeping face is now replaced with the black screen of his phone. That is when the need to be next to you cannot be brushed off, and he will immediately notify you that he is coming to where you are and wanted you to know beforehand. His yearning for you made him realize how much he missed you, so he lets himself indulge in your company for a while before he has to force himself to leave your side again. But when Luca is about to go back to tend to his duties as an heir, he will always promise you that he will be there next to you, regardless of his situation, when you need him.

All in all, this is just him being duty-bound to his role as an heir to his family while also missing your presence in every step of the way. But he will still smile at you the same way that he did when the two of you first entered into the relationship, still holding the immense amount of love he has towards you that no amount of distance could dwindle that intensity. (I honestly couldn't remove this part since, maybe it feels unnecessary, but I think this feels important about what I think how he would handle a relationship and the whole concept of settling down where it doesn't really fit a box??? I dunno, maybe I didn't explain it properly.)

When it comes to house chores, this man will do his damn best at cooking at cleaning. Cooking, not so much since he can cook a somewhat decent food, enough to make you feel full. It will always be nutritious and balanced so if you like that then he would be more than happy to cook it for you again. But leave cleaning to him, he would be so good at it. He will make the house incredibly clean and organized. He will also take cooking and cleaning as bonding time with you. Just imagine the two of you working together, having a small chat with each other while doing your own work. He won't sneak in any kisses and hugs, especially if either of you are holding a knife, near a stove cooking food, or any other dangerous objects. But he will be there right next to you when you need something that might be too heavy to lift or far away from you to reach. If you are afraid of oil splatters, he will handle the cooking from here on out for you until he sees that the oil splatter dies down. He will definitely ask you whether you are alright or not and ask you to show him any signs of burns. It might not feel like an affectionate time in the kitchen, but goddamn does he still make you giddy with his thoughtful actions.

E = Ending (If they had to break up with their partner, how would they do it?)

Luca would find it hard to break it up with you. He knows that if the relationship does not work, then it is better for both parties to mutually cut. But he also knows that he has to go around this topic extremely delicately.

But before that even reaches, he would always think of reasons as to why this relationship is not working out. Is it his fault and thoughtlessness that is creating this rift? Do you feel something or somewhere is lacking that he is doing excessively or not doing enough? Is it because he got too focused on a particular mission or point that left you feeling that he did not value you? Just please tell him what is in your mind and what you feel that he is not doing adequately enough. He will do whatever is in his power to correct it.

Or was it him that you no longer want to be in this relationship?

The last thing he would even do when deeply contemplating on everything that happened up until now is to pin the blame on you.

And even after all the efforts he would put, if he thinks it still would not rectify, he might swallow the hard truth that continuing the relationship will hurt you and him. Especially you. He does not want you to suffer because of him wanting to be with you. So asking you solemnly after class to come meet him in a quiet place, he would express that it is best for the both of you to end this relationship. He might want to say that he still wants to continue protecting you, to get the curse lifted and to maybe still be able to see a smile when you two meet. But all of his other thoughts die down before he could even utter, forming a convoluted mess that pricks the insides of his throat, when he sees your expression. It could be anything— anger, sadness, acceptance, or maybe even bitterness— but regardless of what expression ultimately shows up on your face, it becomes a harsh reality and a haunting memory for him that he let you down.

Even when you do amicably break up, do know that he would still feel guilty for failing to notice your needs. Though, he is a bit more vocal about wanting to still be friends with you and wanting to lift the curse that plagues you. You might see his actions prominently showing that he still cares for you even after you two have separated.

F = Fiance(e) (How do they feel about commitment? How quick would they want to get married?)

Luca is very into commitment. It is that reason of wanting to marry you later down the line that he is in a relationship to begin with. As a man who is loyal to a fault, he also looks for a relationship that is driven by loyalty and commitment. He would never even think of going into a relationship with the expectations that it would not last long. When it comes to relationships, he is idealistic and that plays an extremely big part of it.

If you even begin to mention how you would love to settle down with him in the future and discuss the theme of your wedding, he would blush, but he would also feel happy and reassured that you want him as your husband just like how he wants you as his spouse.

Getting married though is a different ballpark. Again, he is here to find his brother and he would put everything aside to find his brother and then get settled. So depending on how long it takes for him to find his brother, it would be best not to expect a wedding right after finishing the Academy. Though, on the off-chance that he finds his brother during his time in Darkwick, he would be the type to take things slow when it comes to you and the relationship you two are cultivating. He wants to do it right and would follow every step to ensure that you don't feel like you are rushing it out. It's just him being a gentleman and worried that he might make you feel uncomfortable if he misses a single step of the process of courting you. In his eyes, you deserve to recognize the fact that you are worth every single effort he puts into loving you.

If there is even the slightest of doubt regarding his commitment, please stay assured that he will be one of the most committed person in a relationship, especially if it is romantic. He would be telling his family how he has found someone who he wants to be with for the rest of his life and how he wants them to meet you to see how wonderful you are. He would also occasionally request his family to send something that he thinks would be perfect for you so he can give it to you on special occasions, all thoughtfully considered based on your preferences. That alone should tell you that his commitment towards you is immense.

G = Gentle (How gentle are they, both physically and emotionally?)

Luca is incredibly gentle with you, it feels like he treats you like morning dew or the first snowflake of the winter. Maybe it stems from his knightly personality, he always has you in his mind especially when you two are together. He is always asking whether it is alright for him to carry your stuff if it looks heavy, he will be next to the busy side of the road or corridor so you are safe from all the traffic, he would be worried for your well being whenever you go on missions, and all that sweet, small stuff that he ends up fretting over.

When it comes to your emotions, he is once again such a gentle person. Even though he is kind and has a pure heart, his pure intentions driven by his pure-hearted impulsivity sometimes leads to situations where it might lead you to danger. Be it for keep your honour intact when someone says something demeaning to you or to ensure no one slanders his friends, he tends to get angry at these specific points. You might get dragged into these situations when you stick with Luca, just like how you were first introduced to Vagastrom. But at points like these, when you get hurt physically or mentally, Luca would feel like he failed you. It is best to tell him truthfully about how you felt, but do also keep in mind that getting you hurt was the last thing he wants, especially when he is at arm's reach.

This specific mental disposition he has— those actions he takes to ensure you don't get hurt conflict with the aftermath of when you do end up getting hurt, mostly indirectly by him, and then followed up by his need to rectify it— has him being more hard on himself. How can he let someone close to him get hurt when he was right there? He might look like a calm person who thinks everything rationally, and he is, but up till a certain point. When something goes awry even after he was there, he berates himself for not being thorough enough, and his desperation may come where he needs to save people as much as possible. Please ensure that he does not spiral down even further. Let him know that sadly, circumstances arises where he is not able to save everyone around him no matter how hard he tries but you know, as well as those who trust him, that he did his best and all he has to do next is to not linger onto that and move forward calmly for now till other potential victims may be rescued. It's the certainty in himself that he has that is both his biggest strength and weakness.

Also, there may come times where he is unsure as to how to comfort you. He knows when you feel angry, sad, happy or down. But sometimes, feelings swirl in such a way that he may not know how to help you. If you are willing to talk, he is ready to provide what you need. But if not, he will not question further and instead will stay with you. Maybe not that close to you, but near your vicinity. Enough to give you space but close enough to be there for you when your turmoil gets worse so he can quickly take actions accordingly. He does hope you tell him later what happened to you, but he will not push it. After all, he will always be there beside you.

H = Hugs (Do they like hugs? How often do they do it? What are their hugs like?)

Luca is more comfortable with the concept of hugs and giving them a bit easily than cuddles since for him it feels more... formal and less intimate? Like you are meeting someone after a long time and one of the ways to greet each other is by a hug.

He prefers giving hugs than cuddling since he is more aware of what hugs are. In the end, he would be indifferent towards both of them, but he often finds himself hugging you than cuddling you when it comes to being the first one to initiate it. He likes hugs where he can feel your pulse near his skin, where he can hear your soft breath. Just.... he is reminded that you are still here. Don't get it twisted, he loves cuddling you too, but moments where he gets to feel your body against his while you two are not inside closed rooms, he is always strongly reminded of his duty to protect you both as an inspector and as his lover.

He thinks of hugs as a source of comfort and protecting others from danger. He would always hug you and let you bury your head into his chest or shoulders or even his hair if it means that you don't see the horrors and misfortune that those anomalies bring. He has promised to find a cure to your curse and even though it worries him that you are in this situation where anomalies run around, he knows better. He knows that you are the inspector entrusted with the duty of ensuring that ghouls like him complete the missions smoothly. All he can do, given the position the two of you are in, is to see all throughout the time that you are safe and sound. Those thoughts that run in his mind tend to flare up his protectiveness and it leads him to seek you out on the downtime where he knows that no anomaly can hurt you now. In those times, does he give you a hug that soothes his troubled mind. That hug tells him that you are safe and sound. You are here in his arms, your warmth seeping into his clothes and your hand patting him on his back while the other is busy ruffling his hair a bit. It feels like you are confirming it yourself that nothing has happened to you and that it is alright for now. Those are the most critical moments where he gives and craves for hugs.

His hugs are warm and firm. Not firm as in will break your bones and crack your spine, instead it is more like a shield from outside forces. And his warmth somehow correlates to melted butter because of the shortbread biscuits he carries around, but it fits really well. Like, you will melt in his arms because of how safe you feel, all your worries melts and leave your bones and his warmth would replace that bitter hollowness all your pain and sorrows left behind.
