HCs under the cut~

Maksim with a clingy MC

Maksim is confused. Discombobulated. Unsure, and slightly apprehensive.

It's not that he hates that you want to be around him 25/8. He's just… unused to it. How could anyone be this infatuated with his self-proclaimed nasty attitude? He doesn't think he matches your warmth, or replicates the affectionate glimmer that reflects in your eyes. He thinks he doesn't deserve it, but he doesn't realise he reciprocates with his actions.

He doesn't realise the quirk of his lips when you make a joke, doesn't understand that you appreciate it when he offers you his arm as you two promenade about the city. He doesn't notice how in love he is, but his body responds before his thoughts catch up with his lovestruck heart.

In a more domestic situation, Maksim would actually die if you hugged him and physically showered him with affection. He's not flustered, he swears! But you know better than to doubt the red tinge that kisses the tips of his ears. If there's ever a time you think he doesn't like your clingy habits and pull away, he'll tug you by the hem of your sleeve and start bombarding you with questions: "Are you feeling alright?" "Have I done something wrong?" "Do you want alone time?" And once he coaxes the answer out of you, he'll actually get offended that you had the audacity to think you were annoying. He'd actually sit you down and lecture you about it, what an asshat. But if you crawl into his lap halfway through telling you off, he might reconsider and nuzzle his face into the crook of your neck.

Emilio with a clingy MC

With Emilio, clinginess is a competition.

At first, it's out of affection that he initiates dates, and sometimes hand holding. You started it? The least he could do is return your affections, because he truly feels the same. But eventually, it becomes an act of asserting dominance.

You want to hold hands first? He's picking you up and bridal carrying you. Beat that.

You want to go on a date together? Sure! But the next date is at a fancy restaurant with a candlelit dinner, and then a trip to the opera house.

Emilio has to win this. He loves you dearly, as do you. But he loves you better. And if you don't understand that, then perhaps another dozen roses will do the trick. Don't get him wrong: he adores your clinginess. But you just can't outdo him.

In a more domestic setting, Emilio and a clingy MC will be attached at the hip. Constantly doing chores, cooking and spending your time together. A power couple, not out of necessity, but because there's not a lot you want to do on your own. If you hug Emilio as he rearranges the flowers on the kitchen island, he'll spin you around and pepper you with kisses. It's a childish competition, but he's filled with cuteness-aggression. You want to be with him? Forever? Like, married? He's giggling and kicking his feet. You two are like a pair of golden retrievers, chasing each other's tails and trying to best each other in a rivalry that will never be amended. But of course, that's the best case scenario and you two wouldn't have it any other way.

Yeah sure, Maksim…

Meet this tsundere in our demo~

Hold on is that-

Summary: It’s your birthday! He really hopes you will like his gift, but don’t ask him about it.

A/N: This is a standalone short story featuring Maksim, a love interest from "The Man of My Dreams", a free to play visual novel that will be released on the 1st July. Please support us by playing the demo!

Although well versed in the intricacies of magic and science, Maksim is new to desire.  

He stares down at the rows upon rows of flowers. Were you the type to be enthralled by roses? Or maybe you prefer the bright colours of tulips. Is it too cliche to buy you flowers? Would it hurt to buy a bouquet, and maybe some dessert?

Maksim recalls your gift to him. A pair of binoculars, sky blue with golden embellishments. The lenses, beautifully polished and of high quality, perfect for his bird watching escapades. Heat rises up to his ears at the memory of your bashful expression as you offer him your wrapped present on his birthday. He didn’t even make it past a “Thank you” before you flew off into the sky on your bike. 

Now that your birthday has rolled around, it is time he returns the favour.

Perhaps, a more personal gift would be to your tastes. He buys a bouquet of white roses and although he is in no rush, he lightly jogs towards a hardware store. Maybe it’s the vision of you beaming up at him with a new set of screwdrivers that makes his heart race, or the urge to see you fawn over a new toolbox that causes him to move faster. He wonders if you yearn to watch him use the binoculars you gifted him the same way he wants to watch you hard at work, eyes bright with passion and hands tinkering away with whatever diabolical contraption you occupy yourself with at that moment. In his defence, Maksim has never been known for his patience outside of birdwatching, but even this level of frenzied searching is below him. 

His eyes land on a lovely new toolbox, one with too many screwdrivers and bolts for him to comprehend what they could possibly be used for. It’s a far cry from what you might have had in your damaged workshop, but using Emilio’s basic toolkit definitely isn’t viable for a complex invention such as a flying machine. 

Without even looking at the price tag, he buys the toolkit, his heart racing with anticipation. His heart flutters all through the afternoon, his ears tipped the same hue of pink that now bleeds into the serene evening sky. Maksim’s blood rushes so rapidly that he can hear it, so loudly that he barely registers the fact he’s knocking on your door. 

“Oh, hello Maksim what brings you-” 

“Happy Birthday.” He interjects haphazardly, thrusting the bouquet and toolkit into your arms before trundling off at such high speed that even your mechanical wings would not catch up with him.

“Thank… you..?”

Summary: He makes you chocolates! Or he tries to…

A/N: This is a standalone short story featuring Emilio, a love interest from "The Man of My Dreams", a free to play visual novel that will be released on the 1st July. Please support us by playing the demo!

Emilio thinks that his strong suit has always been cooking.

But baking..?

Flour coats the kitchen counter, icing coats the sink from accidentally pouring it into the wrong bowl. Cream splashes his apron, and he frowns at the disorganised chaos of his kitchen. He curses as yet another batch of cakes come out burnt. He has about two hours left until you come home. And until then, he has to make the marzipan cake, make sure he doesn’t set fire to the kitchen, clean his mess, set dinner up, light the candles, set the roses in his fancy crystal vase he only uses for special occasions, and make himself look presentable.

By the time he manages to put another batch in the oven, he checks the clock every three minutes to make sure he doesn’t burn them. In between the frantic, borderline neurotic, clock checks, he rids himself of his stained apron, chucking it into the laundry pile without bothering to attempt to wash any of the stains off by hand. He’s going to regret it later, but it’s unparalleled to the disappointment he’s going to feel if he fails to return your lovely gesture.

It remains in the back of his mind ever since it happened, as if you had taken an arrow from cupid and stabbed it directly into his heart. Ever since you knocked on his door and brandished a bouquet of red roses and a small model of his house made from clay. Every brick painstakingly carved, and each and every hue of the flowers decorating the outside of his abode replicated to near-perfection. He still hears your voice chirping out a cheerful yet nervous: “Happy Valentine's Day!” and he can also still feel the crushing embarrassment when his voice cracked when he replied with a bewildered: “You made this?”

And perhaps the most valuable gift of all: a kiss on the cheek. That’s what’s got Emilio on a metaphorical sugar high, even after a month, he still buzzes with the sensation of your lips on his cheek. If it weren’t so disgustingly unhygienic, he would have refused to wash his face ever again, just to savour your touch.

So hopefully, when he takes out the cakes from the oven, it’ll be a reflection of his adoration: sweet, rich and sprinkled with powdered sugar. He sighs in relief as they come out decently, and sets them to cool by the kitchen counter.

He lit the candles, arranged the roses, set the table, dolled himself up (after a long time deliberating as to whether he looks sexier with or without his glasses) and made marzipan cake. Surely, there’s something he’s forgotten, but for now, dinner and dessert are ready, and you shouldn’t be home until another twenty minutes, so-

“I’m home!”

Oh.

“Good evening! How was your day?” Emilio beams, fussing over your coat, hanging it up before he grabs your perishingly cold hands. Before you can reply, he gasps. “Goodness me, you’re freezing! Let’s fix that, shall we?” His hands gently steer your shoulders towards the kitchen, but before he opens the door wide enough for you to see the fruits of his labour, he emits an uncharacteristically high screeching noise before jerking you towards the bathroom.

“O-on second thought, I realise it was thoughtless of me to not allow you to freshen up!” He doesn’t even hear your confused protests, because he beelines it towards the kitchen once more, eyes wide with trepidation…

…He forgot to clean the kitchen.
