ITZY reaction to a S/O with a tongue piercing

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

Requested? ❌

A/N: I got a tongue piercing on May 8, 2025 and although it gives a major boost to aura points- No one ever thought to tell me that the pain is more of an inconvenience than an actual hurdle. Also, no one told me you'd have to work with a lisp for the first three weeks of getting used to the jewellery on your tongue!

--------------------٩(◕‿◕｡)۶--------------------

Hwang Yeji:

Inquisitive.

She hears your lisp and immediately assumes that you've found the audacity to be sneaking candy without giving her a share.

Tackles you on the couch, prepared to tickle you into surrendering your nonexistent bag of hidden treats.

She pauses her antics when she spots something metallic on your tongue glinting in the light.

Would switch from silly to questioning in the span of a single heartbeat.

"That wasn't candy at all, was it?"

It takes you a moment to get all your giggles out before you can reply to her question with a steady tone of voice, and when you shake your head and stick your tongue out as proof-

Yeji's cat-like eyes widen in surprise and her jaw falls open in surprise before she gently cups your face in your hands, gently guiding your head to turn this way and that. You feel her concern coming off in waves, even when she barely speaks a word after finding out about your piercing.

"Are you still in any pain?"

The concern in her eyes when you meet her gaze is enough to make your heart melt. The tension in her shoulders fade almost instantly, and she rewards you with a soft kiss to your lips.

"I like it, you look even way cooler now. Not that you didn't look cool before but... Yeah. Cooler."

Choi Lia:

Curious.

Questions upon questions with this one.

She's less surprised about the piercing, more transfixed by the journey of it.

She wastes no time in throwing you both down the rabbit hole of schemantics.

Asks if it was well thought out or a spur of the moment decision.

Asks how you got over the initial apprehention.

Asks how you did your research before finally choosing a piercing artist.

Asks you to describe the experience in great detail.

Asks you if it feels like you have two in your mouth when you eat candies.

Wakes you up to ask weird things

"So if you eat ice cream, does the cold feel worse now that there's metal on your tongue?"

You furrow your eyebrows in contemplation. You never really stopped to pay much attention to how eating felt once the pain of having a new piercing had faded.

".... I don't actually know-"

"Do you want to test it? We should go get ice cream!"

"It's two in the morning, Lia. We should sleep instead."

Lee Chaeryeong:

Unfazed, but;

Has the most expressive reaction out of everyone.

She doesn't have much words.

Her facial expression does the talking for her though.

She goes from intrigued, to questioning, to horrified, to inspecting-

It's like watching the five stages of grief play out on someone's face in the span of a few seconds.

Only this is much more entertaining.

She is unable to vocalize all the thoughts in her head so she ends up gaping like a fish every now and then.

The sight of Chaeryeong's eyes widening comically tears all form of restraint from your body and you fail to hold back from laughing at her expressions. She looks at you with exasperation visible across her face. She gapes with wide eyes that sparkle with mirth at your obvious albeit unfortunate joy, since it is at her expense.

"I have so many thoughts all fighting to be the first one said out loud! You can't laugh at me!"

She crosses her arms in fake indignation, but when your laughter dies out and you finish wiping the tears from the corner of your eyes- You find that she's smiling back at you with eyes sparkling with fondness.

"Have I ever told you how I love hearing you laugh?"

Shin Ryujin:

Amazed

Her first instinct is to ask you to pronounce lengthy words.

She laughs at you when you fumble your pronunciations every now and then.

She asks if the experience differs from your other piercings.

Sometimes asks you to stick your tongue out so she can look at it.

Is highly fascinated by the piercing.

Starts seriously contemplating if she should now get those piercings she's been dreaming about.

Once asked you if it was difficult to eat within the first few days of the piercing.

Ended up forever horrified when you told her about the pain of having solid foods jostle the jewellery when the wound was still fresh.

Decides she'd stick to ear piercings and forgoes the dream of getting any other piercings.

Once stuck her finger in your mouth to press the piercing ball.

You yelp in surprise before lurching your entire body away from her as much as your position allows. There's not much space you could put between the two of you when you were just cuddling on a couch before Ryujin flung her impulse control right out the window.

"What the hell was that for?!"

"You can't blame me! I did it for science!"

Shin Yuna:

Horrified.

She's not against people who get tattoos or piercings,

But all she can think about is how painful it must've been.

You'd have to sit in silence with her for a while as her thoughts run a million miles an hour.

The first thing she asks you is how you got over the fear of having your tongue pierced.

Rants about how painful it is to get your tongue burned by hot soup, much less get it stabbed through.

Finds it cool though.

Jokes about how you could probably gain a lot of views from doing those sapphic thirst traps now.

Jokes about whether you really just got it for the aesthetic purposes or for something else as well.

Will watch you brush your teeth with furrowed eyebrows as she wonders if it feels weird.

"Does the toothpaste make your tongue feel colder afterwards??"

You're unable to stifle the laughter that tears its way out of you. Trust Yuna to be the one to ask the questions that seem unlikely yet likely for someone who has a mind that is full of thoughts almost twenty-four seven.

"No, but come to think of it.. Toothpaste did start feeling more spicy after I got the piercing..."

Unspoken Bonds

Requested by anon: rosalie hale x human girl dating hc?sfw and nsfw 🩷

Words: 1569

The town of Forks had always felt like a cage to you. It was small, suffocating, and damp—a seemingly endless rain that mirrored your own emotional storms. You never expected to find anything here but loneliness and monotony. Then Rosalie Hale walked into your life.

It started with a glance in the school parking lot. You were just a nameless face in the sea of students, a girl who barely registered on anyone's radar. But Rosalie—golden-haired, impossibly beautiful Rosalie—looked at you as if you were something worth noticing. Her sharp, honey-colored eyes lingered a second too long, and your heart stumbled in your chest.

You told yourself not to think about it. She was one of the Cullens: untouchable, mysterious, and as cold as the Washington rain. Yet, as weeks passed, you noticed her more often. She'd lean against her sleek car with an effortless elegance, her gaze occasionally drifting your way. At first, you thought you were imagining things. Why would someone like her ever notice someone like you?

Then she spoke to you. It was in the library, of all places. You were tucked into a corner, struggling through a biology textbook, when her shadow fell over you.

"Do you mind if I sit here?" she asked, her voice like velvet.

You looked up, stunned. Rosalie, in all her flawless glory, was asking to sit next to you. You nodded dumbly, unable to form coherent words.

She slid into the chair across from you, her movements graceful and deliberate. For a while, she said nothing, simply pretending to read while you fumbled with your textbook. The silence was charged, and you were hyperaware of her every shift, every breath.

Finally, she broke the quiet. "Biology giving you trouble?"

You glanced at her, startled. "Uh, yeah. It's not really my thing."

She smiled, a small, almost secretive curve of her lips. "I could help, if you'd like."

And just like that, Rosalie became a part of your life. What started as casual tutoring sessions turned into stolen moments in the hallways, lingering conversations in the parking lot, and a friendship that felt anything but ordinary. She was guarded, her sharp edges only softening in fleeting glimpses, but those glimpses were enough to keep you captivated.

It didn't take long for your feelings to deepen. You were falling for her, and it terrified you. Rosalie was dazzling, untouchable, and you were… you. Just a human girl with too many feelings and not enough courage.

The night everything changed was cold and clear, the stars a rare sight through Forks' perpetually overcast skies. She had invited you to her family's house—a modern mansion hidden deep in the woods. You hesitated at the door, nerves coiling in your stomach, but she appeared and pulled you inside with a warmth that contradicted her icy touch.

Her family was… intense. They were all as beautiful and intimidating as she was, their golden eyes tracking your every move. But Rosalie (or Rose, as she liked to be called) stayed by your side, her presence a shield against the overwhelming atmosphere. You couldn’t help but notice the way she relaxed when she was near you, her sharpness softening into something almost tender.

After dinner—a meal she didn’t touch but insisted on preparing for you—she led you outside to the wraparound porch. The forest was alive with nocturnal sounds, a symphony of crickets and rustling leaves. She leaned against the railing, her golden hair catching the moonlight, and looked at you with an intensity that made your breath hitch.

"There’s something I need to tell you," she said, her voice low.

You nodded, your heart pounding. "Okay."

She hesitated, her hands gripping the railing. "I… I care about you. More than I probably should."

Your stomach flipped. "Rose, I—"

"Let me finish," she interrupted, her tone sharp but her eyes soft. "You need to know what you’re getting into. I… my family and I, we’re not… normal."

You frowned, confusion mingling with unease. "What do you mean?"

She took a deep breath, as if steeling herself. "We’re vampires."

The word hung in the air, heavy and surreal. You stared at her, waiting for the punchline, but it never came. Her eyes bore into yours, earnest and unflinching.

"You’re serious," you said, your voice barely a whisper.

She nodded. "I understand if this is too much. If you want to walk away, I won’t stop you. But I couldn’t keep lying to you."

You should have been afraid. You should have run. But instead, you stepped closer, your pulse racing for an entirely different reason.

"I don’t want to walk away," you said, your voice trembling but resolute. "I… I care about you too."

Her breath hitched, and for a moment, you thought she might cry. But then she pulled you into her arms, holding you as if you were something fragile and precious. You melted into her embrace, your fears dissolving in the warmth of her presence.

From that night on, your relationship shifted. It was still full of stolen moments and quiet conversations, but now there was an undercurrent of something deeper. You learned about her past, the pain and rage that shaped her into who she was. And she learned about your fears, your insecurities, the ways you felt invisible in the world. She saw you, truly saw you, and it was both exhilarating and terrifying.

But loving Rosalie wasn’t easy. Her world was dangerous, and her family—protective and wary—constantly reminded you of the risks. Rosalie herself was a paradox: fiercely protective one moment, distant the next.

One day, without warning, she vanished. She left no trace, no goodbye, nothing but a chasm where her presence had been. At first, you thought she was simply pulling away like she had done before, giving you space she thought you needed. But days turned into weeks, and the silence remained unbroken.

You searched for her—in the parking lot, in the library, even outside her family’s mysterious mansion in the woods. But there was no sign of her. The ache of her absence was unbearable, a hollow void that nothing could fill. You replayed every moment you’d shared, searching for answers. Had you done something wrong? Was it your fault?

Eventually, you found out the truth—not from her, but from her brother Emmett. He found you one day after school, his usually boisterous demeanor subdued.

"She left because of you," he said bluntly, though not unkindly. "Not because she doesn’t care, but because she cares too much. Rosalie doesn’t handle vulnerability well, and you make her feel… exposed. She’s scared."

It was both a comfort and a dagger to the heart. She loved you, but her fear had driven her away. Knowing that didn’t make her absence any easier to bear.

Then, one night, she came back. She appeared at your window, her golden eyes red-rimmed, her perfect features marred by an expression of raw vulnerability.

"I’m sorry," she said, her voice breaking. "I thought I was protecting you, but all I’ve done is hurt you. I… I couldn’t stay away. I love you."

You pulled her inside, your tears mixing with hers as you held her close. "I love you too," you whispered. "And I’m not afraid."

From then on, you were inseparable. Rosalie seemed determined to make up for the time you had spent apart. She started planning thoughtful dates, ones that felt impossibly romantic. One evening, she took you to a secluded lake nestled deep in the forest. The water mirrored the twilight sky, shimmering with hues of orange and purple. She had set up a small rowboat, complete with cushions and lanterns that cast a warm glow. You spent the evening drifting on the tranquil water, sharing stories and laughing as she rowed with effortless grace. When the first stars appeared, she stopped the boat and leaned close, her hand brushing yours. The kiss that followed was soft and lingering, leaving you breathless.

Another time, she surprised you with a drive to the coast. The two of you stood on the cliffs overlooking the ocean, the salty breeze tangling in your hair as Rosalie wrapped an arm around your shoulders. Her presence felt like a shield against the world, and when she kissed you—soft and deliberate—you forgot about every storm in your life.

Rose also found joy in taking care of you in quieter moments. When you caught a nasty cold, she showed up at your house with soup, blankets, and a stack of your favorite movies. She stayed by your side, her cool touch soothing against your feverish skin. She even braided your hair to keep it out of your face, her fingers gentle and precise.

"You don’t have to do all this," you murmured, your voice hoarse.

She smiled, brushing a strand of hair from your forehead. "I want to. You mean everything to me."

Her care wasn’t always grand gestures—sometimes it was in the way she noticed the little things. How she carried an umbrella for you even when she didn’t need one, or how she always made sure you had your favorite tea stocked at her house. You realized that for all her sharp edges and icy demeanor, she loved you fiercely and completely. And you wouldn’t trade that love for anything in the world.

I Laugh Like Me Again; Bela Dimitrescu (Resident Lover)

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

Requested? ❌

"Be still, my foolish heart. Don't ruin this for me"

Summary: Waking up in the bed of the campus clinic after passing out after getting her heart back, Bela finally comes to terms with the fact that it's been a successful run.

Warnings: None

Genre: Fluff

----------------------٩(◕‿◕｡)۶-----------------------

Bela wakes up with a crick in her back.

It takes her a moment before she's able to fully psych herself up to open her eyes when the sun's bright rays stubbornly pierce her tightly closed eyes. One deep breath exhaled later, and she finally manages to fully drag herself back into the waking world- Not without lack of annoyance & hissing over the brightness that assaults her vision.

"I never did like being in this place."

She thinks to herself as she realizes that she's in currently lying down on a bed within the Campus clinic.

"All that budget and the old crow couldn't even get better beds-"

Bela takes in another deep breath, cutting off her own tangent before she manages to sour her own mood even further by thinking of the Headmistress. A small movement that bumps against her hand is what draws her attention away from her gripes-

The glorious sight that greets her when she cranes her head to look stops her heart in its tracks. A head of navy colored hair in a loose ponytail, facedown on the side of her bed. A grimace breaks her gaze for a single second, the shock rendered her unbreathing and now it hurts a bit to kickstart the process- But Bela brings her gaze back to the slumbering person waiting by her bedside.

It's too much to handle, and she doesn't know if she can even bring herself to speak right now. It wasn't a dream that her and MC managed to triumph over Miranda, she wasn't dreaming when she fought against the dizziness threatening to knock her out cold at the steps of that building- She tears up when she realizes that the last thing she saw before blacking out wasn't a dream, the worried eyes she saw really were worried. It wasn't just a figment of her imagination;

Bela's hand moves on autopilot as it comes up to bury into those dark navy tresses she's come to love so deeply. With gentle and trembling fingers, she frees the strands from the confines of the hairtie and when she's able to feel the vibrations of her fingers gently scratching against your scalp, it's all that it takes to break the floodgates open.

The tears flow freely, and she almost feels guilty when the sob that wretches itself free from her lips wakes you up. But your sleep addled eyes immediately turn wide awake and full of excitement when your gazes meet, and the ego boost of knowing she's the reason for your bright smile banishes the offending emotion like light in a darkened room.

"You had me worried!"

Bela can't help but let herself melt into the embrace when you all but throw yourself forward to give her a tight hug. She'd let you hold her like this for eternity- Wants to have you hold her like this for eternity. Unfortunately, time passes and waits for no one and you let go to give her a once-over.

When your worried eyes find nothing wrong and they drift back up to meet the gaze of her soft blue ones, Bela brings both hands up to cup your cheeks with her palms. She takes a moment that feels like a lifetime to just take your face in- Convince herself that you're not incorporeal, that this isn't a dream- Before she pulls your against her in an emotionally loaded kiss.

She's thankful you're here.

There's contentment, happiness, love, and satisfaction pouring from her and into the kiss, and you drink all of the emotions in until you're drowning and your lungs are begging you for air. Neither you nor Bela wish to pull away so soon, but when you do withdraw it's done in synch. There's a moment filled with nothing but the sounds of heavy breathing as you both chase for the air that you've voluntarily forgone for a few moments, and words that leave your lips once you've composed yourself grants you the most joyful sound you've ever heard on this Earthly plane.

"What kind of last words before fainting are you have pretty eyes anyway?"

Blue eyes widen in humor and surprise before a rumbling laugh tears its way out of her, and soon you're joining in with her until your sides sting from the effort that comes with laughing too hard.

There's unshed tears begging to fall in the corner of her eyes, and you waste no time gently wiping them away. Bela's hands immediately cover your own and she maneuvers them until your knuckles are just barely flush against her lips. Her gaze never breaks from yours as she answers your question with a blinding smile.

"It's the truth I know."

She closes her eyes and begins to reverently place a kiss to each of your knuckle, hoping that the sincerity in her actions would make the love she feels seep into your skin and burrow itself into your bones.

Her heart is truly hers again, and she can't wait to share it all with you.

Internally, he’d be frustrated with himself, though he might not show it outwardly

He would try to address the situation logically, asking what made you flinch and how to prevent it in the future

Despite his often cold demeanor, he’d find a way to show that he cares, perhaps by offering a solution to the argument in a calm manner

She’d be more mindful in future arguments, ensuring she never raises her voice or says something that might scare you

“Hey, sorry, that’s not what I wanted”

Tilda (wlw if romantic)

Tilda would be surprised at first, not expecting you to flinch

Her concern would be masked under a composed exterior

She would immediately dial back her intensity, speaking in a much softer tone

Despite her often cold demeanor, she’d apologize, perhaps more out of obligation but still with a hint of genuine concern

Tilda would reassure you that you have nothing to fear from her, though her way of doing so might be more intellectual than emotional

"I didn’t intend to make you uncomfortable."

Alva (wlw if romantic)

Alva’s eyes would widen with concern, and she’d immediately stop whatever she was saying

Her voice would be soft and filled with remorse when she apologizes

She’d likely reach out to you, gently touching your arm or hand, seeking to comfort you physically as well as verbally

Alva would offer soothing words, reassuring you that you’re safe with her and that she never meant to hurt you

From that moment on, she’d be more conscious of her tone and actions during disagreements, ensuring that she maintains a caring and understanding approach

"I’m so sorry, I didn’t mean to scare you like that."

She doesn't remember leaving the palace, isn't even sure she's left her room at all after closing her eyes in her bed. But somehow she's here, and the sun in out and the winds are gentle.

Her eyes take in the endless grass plains, stunned and disbelieving all at once. She was sure it was nighttime, because it was bedtime.

"Hello!"

Nadia whips around, startled by the sound of a chirpy voice behind her. There stands a child infront of her, posture entirely too relaxed with a beaming smile on their face-

"Would you like a lemon-rind?"

In all her three years of experience with her sisters so far, all Nadia remembers is the frustration of when they'd take things from her- Under the impression she was weak. So when she sees the other child's carefree smile with scrunched eyes, outstreched hands holding a bag of candied lemon-rinds;

"They're my favourite! Maybe they can be yours too?"

Nadia accepts, and she feels happy when the bright smile manages to brighten even more. She sits down on the grass with the other child, happily thinking that she can make a friend now.

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

Nadia sighs as she leans back into her chair, a hand coming up to rub at her temple as she scowls at the tax papers infront of her. She is glad that the city is doing well for itself and that the funds are being put to proper use- But that does not mean that she has to enjoy the numbers' penchant to make her feel cross-eyed and nauseated with their presence.

She does not know how long she sits there, zoning out. Only that her shoulders lift in relief when your voice floats from the study's entryway, calling her attention in that soft manner you've always reserved for her when she's at work.

"I hope I'm not interrupting anything important."

The Countess smiles at you, a hand outstretched towards you; A beckon for you to come close. You move without needing to think of it, and Nadia smiles at the way your hand fits in hers so perfectly.

"I'm afraid that taxes are indeed important. But fortunately it is the headache they induce which you are currently interrupting, nuri aljamil."

The Prakan nickname softens your heart and you lean down to place a kiss to the top of her head. You let your lips linger as your beloved lets out a sigh of contentment at the gesture.

"Sometimes I find that a snack break is what's needed to get through rigorous work. These aren't very common now that the fruit is out of season, but luckily I've managed to find some out in the market today- Would you like a lemon-rind?"

Nadia's brow furrows as she leans away from you, eyes narrowed but lost as if she's trying to find something she doesn't quite know to look for.

You mistake her reaction for confusion, maybe she thinks you're offering her actual lemon rinds? You hasten to explain the misunderstanding.

"Candied lemon-rinds! Not the lemon rinds of freshly peeled lemons!"

Her expression does not change and her eyes only narrow further, and you're not quite sure it's a misunderstanding of contexts anymore but neither do you know what it is that your Countess is reaching for in that mind of hers- So you continue your explanation.

"They're my favourite, maybe... They can be yours too?"

You smile and bring out your other hand from behind your back, revealing a bag of candied lemon-rinds. Nadia stares at the candies for a moment before she looks back to you with a small smile.

"Thank you, hayati."

You beam at her and take a piece for yourself before earnestly placing it in your mouth.

Nadia doesn't know why it feels as though she's heard those words before. She can't remember when or where and that inability to grasp at a faded memory feels like an uncomfortable itch at her side.

An itch that she cannot reach.

The mystery can wait however, for the moment that she bites down on the lemon-rind you offered her, she finds that these can indeed become her favorites as well.

A/N: I had an idea that Nadia and MC had met their dreams before The Tower, I wanted to play around with that "Imaginary Friend" trope but with my own spin on it to fit the Arcana storyline.

I'm thinking of making this idea into a multi-part but standalone work, would you guys be interested in seeing it happen? ����
