Hello! Welcome back 😊

Could I request a female reader getting stuck under the mistletoe with War at Christmas dinner and having to explain the tradition of kissing under it to the big guy?

Thank you and Merry Christmas!

Of course! I hope you enjoy this dearie! And happy holidays!

Everything about the Christmas season was great! The scenery blanketed in a fresh, crisp white. The joyous music. The beautiful blinding lights and decorations. Family and friends coming together to enjoy one another's company with eachother. The delicious foods. Watching someone open the gift you picked out from them, receiving gifts no matter how small and just knowing someone thought of you. Everything was amazing.

And it was something you truly wanted to share with the horsemen, War especially. Even if they hadn't ever celebrated or even just understood the meaning behind it! If anything, it made you want to celebrate with them more!

But the one thing you despised about Christmas currently, the one thing you had wished you never put up was the dreaded mistletoe. Why should you have put it up? It wasn't like you were dating any of the horsemen, even if you had thought of a specific younger brother in that light..

Currently being caught under it with none other the the youngest sibling, War, himself was agonizing.

His cute puppy head tilt at your odd reaction of running into you. God it was awful, you could just see yourself now. Red as Rudolph's nose, trying desperately to look at anything but the man standing before you. A fidgeting mess, and you could just hope he couldn't see you were sweating.

You just knew he needed a clue, looking up to the mistletoe praying you had mentioned it to him before. But you obviously hadn't when you could visibly see his confusion worsen. Looking to you as if you were crazy, as if saying "That is just a plant, why would you react this way over something so small and insignificant?" But he thankfully doesn't comment on that.

"Are you alright (Y/n)?" It comes out as a little grunt, but the concern is still evident.

"Y-yes, yes. Just, uh, the mistletoe and all.." As if that would explain anything to the man. Obviously he couldn't get the first hint because he didn't know anything about the tradition.

"What of it? If you're allergic to it, I can toss it away for you." He's already reaching up to get rid of the petty little thing bothering you.

You're tempted to tell him that yes, you are very allergic and want him to whip the evil little plant into the sun, but it doesn't seem fair to lie to him. You sure he'd be pretty unimpressed even from a little lie like that, and it took you so long to get him to have a normal conversation past just grunts and nods.

"No, I'm not allergic, it's apart of the holiday so please leave it up." You need to get a grip. It's just a silly little tradition, it's not like you HAVE to participate in it with him. Even if you'd really like to.

"Then what is the problem?" He's beyond confused, but he does drop his hand from the plant to leave it up.

"Just um.. just a Christmas tradition. It's nothing." You knew very well that wouldn't be the end of the conversation. War was far too curious for his own good.

"Tradition? Of what kind?" And there it is. That curiosity that most certainly killed the cat. Or more accurately you, his curiosity embarrasses you more often then it really should.

"Its just, for us humans, if you get caught under the mistletoe you have to.. Well you have to kiss the other person." Could you get more red? You probably did become more red despite the impossibility of it.

"Would that mean we have to kiss? Why? What is the meaning for it?"

You know it's just because he's curious.. but it almost feels like a rejection. You think you'll hate mistletoe forever after this.

"Well the ancient story I know was to increase the chances of.. marriage.. for a woman. And that if she wasn't kissed, she could still be single next Christmas. With each kiss a berry is removed until there are no more berries.. But uh for more modern day, it's just seen as bad luck not to kiss whomever you ran into under the mistletoe.."

War gives a little hum of acknowledgment, which just furthers your embarrassment. God is it time to go to bed and cry yet?

You keep your head hung from the embarrassment running through you, more then surprised when War lifts your head up by the chin and ducks down to give you a kiss.

It was just a little peck, so fast you barely had time to realize what was happening. Glad to the gods above that you were quick to kiss back despite not being all there before he pulled away.

He gave you a little smile, and man did you wish he always smiled. He looked pretty somehow.

"There. Now you won't have bad luck."

Well now you want to give him more kisses, as many as you could. But from the sound of it, he's doing it so you won't have bad luck, which sucks but at least kissing you wasn't so repulsive he refused to.

"Thank you.."

He just keeps surprising you when he leans down to give you one more before reaching up to tug a berry off and set it in your hand. You're so glad you bought a real mistletoe.

"And now you won't be single next Christmas, and your chances of marriage have increased."

Was he.. hinting he wanted to be with you? Or are you delusional?

"War-"

"Unless you'd prefer to be single. I.. there is no pressure." He was quick to interrupt, he smile deeming just a little.

"I.. I don't want to be single." You give him a smile. Moving to grab onto a piece of his armor, and leaning up. Glad he took the hint and leaned down to give you another kiss. Heaven, this is what it feels like.

He seemed happy when you pulled back, pushing your hair out of your face. "Its dinner time now yes? Would you like to sit? I'll make you a plate since you made dinner."

"Thank you War."

Oh you couldn't be happier, letting him wonder off to make you a plate, and moving to sit down in your spot with a big smile that more than confused the other horsemen. Whom had just shrugged it off, deaming it to just be due to the holidays.

When in reality it was all due to a silly little plant and a big hunk of muscle. Mistletoes just might be your most favorite thing of the Christmas holiday, despite hating them just moments prior.

Although you couldn't help but to feel War felt differently about them, with how heavily he avoided them with you the rest of the night. Or perhaps, he just didn't want you to get stuck under one with anyone else.

I've been.. deceased for too long and it's time to rise from my coffin and continue on with writing about my favorite boys and gal, among others. Anywho! I was hoping people would send in prompts for the holidays coming up! I'm in such a festive mood, even if you'd like to message it to me rather than put in an official request! And while it's Christmas prompts I'm seeking, new years wouldn't be a bad idea either! Of course other request will always be accepted, and while I wait I'll be sure to work on the few requests I have reveived since my temporary death! I hope to hear some ideas from all of you! If you need a reminder of how to request you can always follow the link through my masterlist! Or search for it! Don't be shy, and don't worry about bombarding me! Love you all dearies! And I hope the best holidays for you all!

[darksiders-junkie]

Good evening friend! I've had a bit to drink while replaying Darksiders 2 and have been wondering if death would be fun to drink with. Thoughts? I figure Strife would be hella fun at first then if he overdoes it he'd get a bit maudlin. Feel free to add on for other characters if you want to!

Appreciate your contribution to this teeny fandom! *Toasts you with drink of choice* ❤️

Sure thing! I'm actually going to do them all :))

War

He is not fun to drink with. Man has one drink and calls it a night. He doesn't like alcohol, and he hates feeling tipsy. It makes him feel like he's not in control of his own body.

If you do manage to get him to drink more, I'd suggest drinking at home. He loosens up and becomes way more talkative and he won't be happy if other people (strangers at that) saw him like that.

And when he becomes more talkative its really all slurred and jumbled together, you have to get him to announciate his words to try and understand him.

At the end of the night, you can bet he's throwing up and passing out on the floor. And since you wouldn't be able to move him, well just put a pillow under his head and drap a blanket over him. He'll be fine.

He wakes up to the biggest migraine ever, and will proceed to be 10x grumpy and scowly until it has passed. So make sure to give him plenty of water, migraine meds, and a big old greasy breakfast in the morning.

Death

He usually tries to avoid alcohol all together. You'll find he'll have a glass of wine for the silly human holidays you enjoy so much, but other than that he doesn't drink.

If you do manage to get him to drink, well you're questioning if he's been dumping out his glass while you weren't looking. He's hardly changed at all!

But no, he most certainly has been drinking it due to your wishes. He's just really good at seeming not drunk.

You can only tell with the slightest of slurred words, and the fact that there is no more bite in his tongue. He may sway slightly while walking, but it'd be hard to tell if you were also drunk.

At the end of the night he'll take a shower and brush his teeth (about time), to get rid of the alcohol smell. He'll pop into your room to make sure you made it to bed alright before finding his way to hiw own room. And if you do share a bedroom, then he'll crawl in behind you and be unusually a bit more cuddling than normal.

He'll be up way before you in the morning, having left some water and meds by your bed and being down stairs cooking up breakfast for the two of you.

Strife

He is hell of fun to drink with, in the beginning that is.

He'll laugh, crack jokes, and even nudge you when you aren't taking a sip. A real partier, so even if it's just the two of you, he fully expects you to yell "Chug Chug Chug" as he downs his glasses. Of course, he'll do the same if you decide to chug.

But eventually he'll flip on a dime and just start crying. It's the worst because there is no warning either. Just

"I'm the bestest friend/partner in the whole world right?"

"Do you love me (Y/n)? Because I love youuuu! Tell me you love meeeee!"

And he's also very clingy. He'll literally hang off you, quickly remind him that you are infact human or otherwise you'll end op on the floor with him.

To avoid this, either head to bed early so he'll do the same, or take him out drinking. If he's around people he won't be like that. Although the car ride home (either by uber or the other siblings. Uber definitely prefered if you dont want to hear a screaming match between siblings) would be a different story, but at least you got to have a longer time to have fun.

Although if you tuck him in, and even as his friend cuddle him through the night, he'll be less of a whiny bitch.

In the morning, he'll most definitely be sluggish and whiny. Keep him away from his siblings because they don't tolerate that shit no more lmfao. Make sure your Strife has plenty of water and meds, and order him food.

Fury

She'll often have a few drinks to get tipsy, but will stop drinking at that point. She doesn't enjoy the hangovers in the morning, and she's often been told she's a raging drunk.

She'll never turn that rage onto you. She thinks you're far too soft and pitiful to do that. No, instead, you'll find her screaming at the wall she accidentally bumped into for 10 minutes straight.

Or trying to pick fights with people, so I suggest keeping her away from her siblings at this time. She won't pick fights with humans though, but I still suggest staying away from bars as she will still find something to scream at. (Like the TV. Everyone is screaming about the silly game, why can't she?)

At the end of the night she will definitely soften some more, and make her way to her own bed. She will not give two fucks if you make it to your bed, unless you share a bed.

In the morning she'll be awfully quiet and just cluching her head at the table. Don't dare to comment on it, just give her some meds and water. You can try feeding her but she'll just push it away.

[darksiders-junkie]

Oh! I want to mention that if you have already sent in a request, feel free to send in another one! Hell, send in two! I've got a lot of time to kill this week, as I'm off of work and I'd be delighted to just sit here and write!

Heyy good to see a new Darksiders blog, welcome!! Do you have any headcanons about the Four and what genre of movies/books they might like the most? :)

Oh course! Thank you for your request!

War

He's definitely an action/adventure man. When he's not on a mission, he's preparing for one by sharpening chaoseater or even just caring for his armor.

So to get a little taste of action, he watches movies instead.

One of his top favorite human movies is most certainly 300, he still doesn't believe it's based of a true human history event.

Death

Of course, he's more of a fan of books than movies. But I believe his favorite genre would be thrillers. Especially psychological thrillers.

The suspense and more often than not twist is exhilarating for the old man.

His top favorite human move would be Shutter Island. He throughly enjoyed the suspense, and he honestly never saw the twist end coming.

Strife

His favorites are rom coms. They're cheesy and funny, his two favorite things!

He can't get enough of them, even if he can guess the entire plot at the beginning of the movie.

Although he has a hard time admitting it. If you ask for his favorite movie it's "Deadpool", but he's watched an awful lot of "Mama Mia" just in this week alone..

Fury

And to no one's surprise, Fury's favorite genre is horror! The more gore the better!

However she's not interested in the cheesy horror movies such as the original Scream movie.

Her favorite human movie would be House of a Thousand Corpses. It always has her cracking up and yelling at the television!

Death: Lately (Y/N)'s gotten into dad jokes, but what's worse is that War actually likes them.

Reader: I had a nice vacuum cleaner, but I had to sell it. It was just gathering dust!

War, chuckling and clearly crushing on Reader: Isn't that what it's supposed to do?

Death: Every time I think my hell can't get worse, life finds a way

[darksiders-junkie]

Hello! This is probably the earliest I've ever stumbled across a blog! Welcome!

As for requests, if the four had any human contacts on earth (pre or post apocalypse/rebirth of humanity) what sort of person do you think they'd go to for human-related questions? Like Death finds a mortician who's got hold of demonic remains and they establish a rapport or something like that? Thoughts? Head cannons? (Sorry if this comes across as oddly phrased, I've only just recently gotten over my fear of sending asks 😅)

Thank you dearie! I welcome you to this dumpster of a profile as my first request🎉🎉

It was a little oddly phrased but I believe I understand what you're asking for! And don't be afraid I will away send a question if I am confused, and if you dont get back to me you can always send another ask and ill redo it for you! Enjoy your little headcanons!

War

He had absolutely no contacts before the early brought apocalypse or humanities resurrection. Only after humanity was brought back and steadily on their feet did he show interest in them.

His contacts are all names, no nicknames. First names and if they have them last names.

Including his siblings, War would only have 5 contacts.

The first non sibling being a human in the army. He stumbled upon them when saving them from stray demons who hadn't accepted the war was over.

As a thanks, the man forced offered to buy him a drink. War had a better time than he thought he would, and when the man offered his number so they could do this again, he actually agreed.

They now regularly meet up, even just to watch silly human television shows or movies.

War will ask him questions about human items.

W: What is this? *sends picture of make up pallete*

H: Make up.

W: What?

H: It's to highlight a humans best feature. It's pretty much to make humans pretty.

W: Why? Are they trying to seduce their enemies?

H: Yeah I don't have time to unwrap that.

His second contact, believe it or not, is a barista (the love interest). Just some girl that makes coffee at a little shop and passes out pastries (totally found due to first contact).

He'd come by often, mostly fascinated in how it all works. Learning to say please and thank you to her and even learn to tip her from other costumers that came by or his first human friend.

He got her number from intimidating a very, uncomfortably flirty customer to scurry out of the shop.

She offered it with a shy smile and blush and he swore his heart almost stopped. No one is every like that to or around him and it was odd.

He asks her more emotional questions about humans.

W: A man just shouted at me for ten minutes for no reason. Why would he do that?

H: Oh no! I'm sorry, that's extremely shitty of him :(( Sometimes people are just mean. What happened?

W: I was walking and my armor accidently scrapped against his car and he started yelling.

H: Oh honey, those are expensive. You should be careful around cars in the future okay?

W: Okay.

Death

Death much like War had no contacts before the premature apocalypse or humans resurrection. He infact only has 1 contact that isnt his siblings (the love interest)

He had everyone under their names, just as War has. But once that human friend taught him a bit about it, he did add a "💀" at the end of her name.

It was pure coincidence meeting a mortician. He just happened to bump into her multiple times to the point she offered her number.

He accepted just so he could move on with his day without having any problems. Humans tend to create problems over menial things.

But of course she continued to be persistent, texting him constantly. He would have blocked her if he knew how, but instead he gives short 1 word responses in hopes she'd get bored.

However when she sent a picture of herself smiling with a piece sign, and a dead body whoms face was covered he became intrigued.

Only to find out she was a mortician. His intriguement hadn't died though, it's quite fascinating that a human who works with death daily, would coincidently bump into him by pure chance multiple times.

And as the relationship grew, he often found himself asking her questions about humans when he was dumbfounded.

D: Why are their so many options for soaps? Wouldn't one do the job for everyone?

Human: Well some people have allergies, and other people have sensitive skin and can't do fragrance in the soaps. And everyone likes different smells.

D: Understood.

And when she came across demonic, or even angelic corpses he'd often give her the answer when she was clueless. Even popping in to give her a hand if need be.

Strife

Oh you know he had contacts before the premature apocalypse. He's the most friendly of them all after all.

But of course those contacts became useless afterwards. Even when the humans came back, they weren't guaranteed their old numbers.

And so he had to make new ooman friends. And that he did.

His contacts are insane, honestly I couldn't even give you a number on how many he has. You wouldn't be able to tell who was who with all the crazy names he comes up with either.

However his favorite contacts are

"Goofy Ass🤡"

Whom you guessed it, is a clown. An entertainment for kids, who also happens to do magic tricks and face painting.

He managed to bump into them on their way to a kids party. Effectively scattering their things.

Strife of course helped, but not without picking fun at them for their getup.

They got all defensive and angry which only spurred on his amusement.

He continued following them around afterward, asking questions upon questions as to why they look so ridiculous. Even if they answer never changed.

They had to beg him to leave when they got to the party, and in exchange for his departure Strife snagged their number.

And while they were annoying at first, Strife quickly grew on them. Even finding it enduring to answer the most basic, common sense questions.

S: Why do they call it Jay walking? My name isn't Jay.

Okay that one was most certainly annoying to type out, especially when they know he has Google.

His second favorite is "Mixer 🥃" (the love interest)

Which I'm sure you can guess is his bartender.

After meeting her, he only went to that bar.

Really spurcing up his flirting game, and never giving up no matter how many times she turned him down.

Eventually he gave up and settled as just friends.

And boy is he glad, she'll often open the bar up just for him after hours so he can drink to his hearts content and chat with her all night long.

He'll ask her every question under the sun. Even ones her knows the answer to just to get a response.

S: What's a 'horse'

H: Stfu I know you own a horse it is 3am leave me be to sleep

S: I own a horse? Oooooohhhh you mean Mayhem? He's a horse?

H: Strife I stfg I will murder you

Fury: She also had no contacts before the premature apocalypse.

Aside from her siblings she has a few contacts, all of which have their name and a little emoji to help her remember if she's been on a mission for a long ass while and can barely see straight

The first was her nail tech "💅"

She was the first human she want to to help her with her nails. And when she blew up over something small the little human fought back and even yelled at her. That really peaked her interest.

She continued to go back because of it, and eventually got her number.

Number 1 bestie, talks shit and gossips with her over text.

Her questions for the nail tech mostly have to do with self care.

F: Do you think this will work on my hair?

H: Babe.. your hair is a mystery to me. Idk what will work and what won't 🤷‍♀️

Her next contact is actually a geeky, nerdy guy "🤓" (Love interest, you can fight me on it)

She bumped into him and made him drop all his things. She proceeded to yell at him, even though she was at fault and he just sit there and took it.

She.. almost felt bad for the scrawny little man.

She ended up calming quickly (think of the meme "I almost lost my cool there") and apologizing for her outburst with gritted teeth and a frown.

Apologizing is most certainly not her strong suit.

He brushed it off saying it was fine, and since she felt so bad for the scrawny little man, she carried his items to his, what was it, "D'N'D" session?

Well one thing lead to another and she was telling real stories about scary monsters and by the end he had scored her number.

She'll ask him questions about geek things

F: Its broken.

H: Uh no.. you have to turn it on.

F: And how am I supposed to do that?

H: There's a little button on the pc.

F: There are a ton of buttons. Is it this? *sends picture*

H: That isn't a- You know what? I'll be there shortly. Just don't touch anything before you break it.

Hi, i just found your blog! Might i request a match up? 🤔👀🙈😳

I'm a 22 y/o girl (so yeah, She/Her) i have Autism, i seem shy in the beginning but if i notice people with the same interests i will not hesitate to info dump hehe. I'm a pretty big horror and fantasy nerd! I tend to hyperfixate alot on tons of mythical beings and horror stuff! funny enough my 2 main hyperfixations at the moment are the 4 horsemen of the Apocalypse and the Nazgûls lol. I'm 5'1 ( 1 meter and 56 cm ) in height, on the chubby side and have short hair, i wear glasses and see terribly without them. I actually love to draw and i also do cosplay and fursuiting. That's all i can think of, i hope it's enough for a match up? Hope you have a great day/night!

Oh that's plenty!

In my opinion I believe Strife would be the best for you!

Strife is the most human friendly horsemen. Unlike his siblings, he's not so closed off in the beginning. He's not willing to dump all of his junk at the doormat, but he is willing to actually knock on the door if you know what I mean!

It wouldn't take very long for you to catch his eye either! Your shyness is too alluring and you'll find yourself on the end of majority of his teasing.

He truly means it all in good fun! And if he finds you becoming uncomfortable or it seems just a tad too much he'll pull back on the reins just a bit.

Some of the things he'll do to tease:

Definitely take you glasses and hold them high over his own head and watch you jump for it. He finds it all too amusing for you to try and obtain something you'll never get unless he hands it back.

Purposely put things far out of your reach and just watch what you'll do to obtain it. (Example would be to put something on the top shelf and watch you climb the counter for it)

Poking, pinch, and pull at your cheeks anytime you become red or flustered

Light touches to your back or arms to purposely get you red just so he can pinch those pretty red cheeks! (And yes he will tell you that as he pinches them)

Once you've become more acquainted with him, and less shy. He'll calm down, but will still throughly enjoy teasing when he can.

Once he deems you as a friend, he'll start to get into what you like just so you can lore dump on him.

He'll sit there with a dopey smile on his face, even if you can't see it with the helm on, and let you talk for hours. And if you try to apologize and leave room for him to talk, he'll just say

"Oh no sunshine, you keep going. You're on a roll! You can stop now just as it's getting juicy!"

Solely so you can continue your little rant. He's sure he'll have time to rant to you as well.

Once he actually falls for you, oh boy, get ready.

He'll be the clingiest person you've ever met, you might even have to set some boundaries with him.

He'll open up more. He'll start telling stories of his battles and quests, mostly to try and impress you. And if you mention at all that you even seem slightly impressed, he'll walk around with his chest puffed out all day.

Do little things for you like pick up or clean so you don't have to, even though it's his least favorite thing to do.

Bring you little gifts and trinkets from his adventures. Anything that he thinks you'd like. He'll be the happiest man if you put them somewhere on display and boast about it to anyone who will listen to him.

And once you're together? Well, good luck finding any alone time. He'll be stuck to you like a leech. Constantly asking what you're doing and where you're going, and most importantly, if he could come along.

He'll be even more into your hobbies and will absolutely watch every single horror and fantasy movie as long as you're snuggled up with him eating popcorn.

He will look at every drawing and absolutely hype you up!

"That's the best drawing I've ever seen!"

"It belongs in the most famous museum, honest!"

And if you're making a fursuit? Well you better bet he'll be there and ready to pass you whatever you need! Scissors? He's on it! More fabric? Anything for his little sunshine! Oh you want a different movie on? No problem he's changing it as you speak!

And once it's done, you better be putting it on and doing a little spin for him! He didn't help just to not see the final product!

He'll definitely love the chubbiness too. Infact his favorite thing is to rest his head on your stomach. His own personal pillow. Your thighs are a very close second.

And if you DARE to try to take it away due to insecurity, well, he'll be teaching you all night just how much he loves you. So unless you don't want to be walking in the morning, I suggest you just let him lay in his favorite spots and look at his dopey ass smile that you can see this time.

Horsemen are feeling a little down, so I guess it's your job to cheer them up with a little song :))

Part 1 with War and Death

War's song: Rises the Moon - Liana Flores

Death's song: No Matter What - Steven Universe

War

You've been traveling with War long enough to understand when he was becoming down. You could never tell from his facial expressions.

It was the silence. The separation that gave the horsemen away. Now, he was always quiet and distant. It was his nature.

Looking at him now, though, sat by the lake he chose for a resting spot, far from the fire he kindled for you. You couldn't help the way your heart clenched. This wasn't like him. He'd sit close by. He'd grunt or nod when you talked. If you were lucky, you'd even get a glance, and if you were really lucky, a response. Usually, it is a question to quell his curiosity.

You wished you could do something for him. Something to lighten his burden. But you can't fight demons and angels. You can't trek the distances he can, and you most certainly can't wiggle information out of demons. They'd just laugh in your face.

Although.. your mother, when she had been alive, always had a way of cheering you up. And just maybe, it might cheer War up too.

So you steal your resolve, and stand. Slowly making your way over to War and sitting besides him. He gives you a small glance, before staring out at the water again.

It's silent for a moment before you open your mouth

"Days seem sometimes as if they'll never end

Sun digs its heels to taunt you

But after sunlit days, one thing stays the same

Rises the moon"

The confusion on his face is ever present, but he does nothing to stop you, so you take it as your sign to continue.

"Days fade into a watercolour blur

Memories swim and haunt you

But look into the lake, shimmering like smoke

Rises the moon"

It seems he took your words literal and turned to look at the little lake where the moon reflected off in the most beautiful way.

You couldn't help but give a little snort, which in turn gets you a glare from War. You shake it off quickly to continue the song for him.

"Oh-oh, close your weary eyes

I promise you that soon the autumn comes

To darken fading summer skies

Breathe, breathe, breathe"

It seems now he's understanding not to take you words to heart, and instead just quietly listening as you sing. Staring out at the rippling waters as he let's the words sink in.

"Days pull you down just like a sinking ship

Floating is getting harder

But tread the water, child, and know that meanwhile

Rises the moon"

You can just hear the gears turning in his head. It seems he's catching onto the fact this is supposed to cheer him up.

"Days pull you up just like a daffodil

Uprooted from its garden

They'll tell you what you owe, but know even so

Rises the moon"

You take your chances and lean against him. A way of showing your support, of saying you're here. You might not be very useful towards his goal, but that doesn't mean you're useless. He seems hesitant but allows you to stay nonetheless.

"You'll be visited by sleep

I promise you that soon the autumn comes

To steal away each dream you keep

Breathe, breathe, breathe"

It's silent for a long while after you've finished. Not that you mind. You believe War got the message, and you're more than happy to stay here by his side and watch the quiet scenery before you.

"Why?" His voice is gruff, and he doesn't look at you.

"My mother used to sing me songs to cheer me up. I thought it might cheer you up too. Even just a little."

He let's out a little hum and it's quiet once more for a little while until he breaks it. "Do you know more songs?"

"Why? Want me to serenade you some more?~" You couldn't help but tease him lightly. Laughing loudly when he grunts and turns his head away from you.

"I'm kidding War, what would you like to hear?"

Death

You absolutely hated when he became grumpy. The sole reason? The quest you're on to help his brother.

Whether it be some being that annoyed him, or the fact it took him longer than he wanted to solve a puzzle, or anything small like that really.

He always became "salty", as much as he loathed when you called him that. It was true regardless, he became more sharp around the edges and in his tongue.

But today you were prepared! You were gonna sing him a song, and he was gonna sit there and enjoy it whether he wanted to or not! Because you weren't gonna travel with a salty Death until he decided to let whatever trivial problem that bugged him go!

The second he was finished setting up the camp area (which was really just the fire and some logs to sit on), you gently set Dust down with an apology when he squaked in complaint of losing you lap as a bed and headed for the horsemen.

He gave you a glare as you grinned up at him.

"What do you want girl?"

"In the light of the day

In the dark of the night

When you're raring to go

When you're tired from the fight

When you're losing your mind

Let me give you a thought

I'm gonna be right your side no matter what!"

You can see his eyes squint, likely our of confusion. "What are you-"

"In the dark of the night (in the dark of the night)

In the light of the day (in the light of the day)

When you're rising to shine (when you're rising to shine)

When you're hitting the hay (when you're hitting the hay)

I'll be hanging around (I'll be hanging around)

If you like it or not (if you like it or not)

I'm gonna be right by your side no matter what!"

You were really getting into it. Regardless of his continuous glare. Even starting to dance a little, even if you knew he'd never join you. This was to cheer him up. To take his mind off whatever got under his skin.

"No matter what (no matter what)

No matter what (no matter what)

No matter what (no matter what)

No matter what (no what)

Oh, I'm gonna be (oh, I'm gonna be)

Right by your side (right by your side)

I'm gonna be right by your side no matter what"

He gives a little sigh, letting the tension out of his shoulders. It seems he's given up, and is just going to let you finish. Not that he'd be able to stop you without physically restraining you.

"In the dark of the night

In the light of the day

When you're rising to shine

When you're hitting the hay

Just remember this song

How's it go? I forgot

I'm gonna be right by your side no matter what"

You giggle as you see him roll his eyes. Moving to grab his hand and spin yourself, not taking it personal when he reels his hand back the second you've finished. It's honestly an achievement he even let you finish your spin. And that makes you happy anyway.

"Through whoever you've been

Through whoever you'll be

Through whatever you lose

You will always have me

At the end of your road

I'll be holding you taut

I'm gonna be right by your side no matter what

Be right by your side, Be right by your side

Be right by your side no matter what"

You leaned into his side at the end, give a little laugh when he sides steps for some space. Grinning up at him regardless.

"And that was for what exactly?"

"To cheer you up and get your mind off whatever made you salty! Can you even remember what you were so upset about?" You can't stop grinning, eager to hear his response.

He gives you a little glare at the salty comment, patiently waiting for you to finish before he opens his mouth to speak. "You have a poor idea of what 'cheers me up', and yes I still remember. One awful song and dance won't make me forget. Don't be a fool girl."

"Oh? So you need to hear it again then?"

He seems to shiver slightly for just a moment. "Consider it forgotten."

You can't help but to cackle at his response. Immediately stopping when he pats your head and turns to leave. Surprised at the kind gesture and his next words.

"Thank you.. for trying anyway."

You roll your eyes. "Can I ever get some nice words or compliments without an insult tacked onto it?"

Death gives a chuckle "Maybe one day when you earn it."

"How rude!"
