You are absolutely right, I would love to do something like this with him, it would be so romantic and calming because that's the type of guy he is ❤️

There was something so gentle, mundane yet exciting, about taking walks through the beach with RAFAYEL. Taking the time time to wind down after a stressful week to feel the warm sand under your feet, shoes long forgotten way back, hand in hand as the waves pushed onto your ankles. The melodies of the ocean and wildlife are the background noise of the conversations between the two of you, talking from everything to nothing, exploring the shore of the beach for pretty shells to bring home, gazing at the setting sun over the horizon, enjoying the scenery that looked like it came straight out of Rafayel's paintings. How Rafayel would sometimes bringing your hand to his lips or pick you up to twirl you around, water splashing at your feet as you squealed and laughed, trying to push him away and to get him to put you down, playfully teasing you, but only because seeing your radient smile was a sight that he'd live a thousand different lifetimes to see. And when you two finally get tired, you and him rest in the sand, fingers interlocked still, with only the hope to forever be able to stay like this ♡.

Love and Deepspace boys with a lemurian!reader.

Info : 1.2k+ word count (about 400 per part), fluff, very slight angst in Zaynes part.

Notes : We need more content about lemurians, especially now since it's mermay!

Rafayels part is here!

Zayne

He would be curious about you and how your body is different from humans because of your origin, he would study you a lot and ask frequent questions. It was a bit creepy at first but he has your best interest at hand - he just wants to be able to take care of you in case something happens, so of course he needs the knowledge to do that. He doesn’t say it but he is afraid that you will be in pain because of some lemurian sickness or something will happen to you and he wouldn’t be able to help, or worse - he would harm you further.

Zayne finally realised why you were clinging to him so much. His body temperature was oftentimes naturally cold because of his evol and since cold temperature reminded you of water which was once your home, you of course often migrated to him. He made sure to have ice cream or cold water in his apartment whenever you came during hot seasons to cool you down, though his favourite method to do that was still cuddles.

He was a little unsure of your lemurian form at first, he wouldn’t come too close or talk too much but that was just because he was stunned, you were beautiful. It was shocking to him to see a literal tail instead of your legs but he quite liked you like this, not much changed in your relationship… other than the fact that now he was much more keen to have baths with you after he understood your need for the water, and he would encourage you to change into your lemurian form more to “stretch out your tail to keep it healthy” (he just wants to admire you). He’s also just a little freaked out by your ability to breathe underwater but he gets used to it.

Zayne made sure to keep your secret hidden, he was a supportive boyfriend from the start even if he didn’t know much about you and didn’t fully understand all your quirks yet. Not many people knew about Lemuria, people thought it was just a myth but now he knew it wasn’t and he was dead set on keeping you safe. Need a checkup in the hospital? Zayne would be doing that. One of the doctors thinks your temperature is too low? No it isn’t, you just didn’t wear warm enough clothes, he would say.

Xavier

He would not know for a longer time and he would probably be oblivious to any hints about it too. Once you would tell him though, he would be supportive but it ended at that. Later on however, he would start acting all weird with you. You were sitting down with him, talking to him about what happened at work and then he suddenly gets you a glass of water even though you had a different drink. You visited him in his apartment and he now had a humidifier and a lotion that he would randomly start to apply on you. And more. When you asked him about it, it turned out that he was studying how to care for fishes and other water animals and it said they needed lots of water and a cold, humid environment, and it worked. 

Xavier would find your Lemurian form to be very pretty though you wouldn’t have many chances to show it to him, since your dates were mostly to public swimming pools and he didn’t have a big enough tub, but you did manage to show it to him once and he absolutely adored it. All the shiny scales, your eyes, he loved literally all changes of yours. You were worried he wouldn’t like them, but Xavier reads a lot of comic books so he was used to the image of fantasy creatures, though you were still the prettiest one he ever saw.

He would start to look at you a little more closely, try to see your mannerism, what you liked, what you didn’t want to touch, everything. He wanted to figure out how to make you more comfortable, since he guessed being a lemurian did come with its own challenges but he was prepared to help you navigate them. You felt bad since sometimes you had to cancel dates because you just didn’t feel like yourself but he always understood and just stayed at your place with you instead.

Xavier wouldn’t bring it up too much, it just became something natural for him at some point so he wasn’t even surprised if he would find you sitting in a bathtub for a few hours or if you would start speaking in lemurian after something scared you. He did however like to ask you about your home sometimes, since it was something very precious to you. 

Sylus

Supportive king from the start because he is a dragon! You told him once over dinner and while he was curious, he was very respectful and made sure you took everything at your own pace. He would playfully tease you about it but it was all in love, his favourite way to tease you is to ask you if you still ate seafood if they were technically your neighbors and he would start to call you something like “starfish” instead of “kitten” sometimes just to see the reaction he would get out of you.

Fascinated about your lemurian form, he took it in as if he was looking at the most expensive diamond in his collection and he touched you like it too. He was always careful, gentle, as if he was afraid to hurt you or say something wrong but he would hide it with his confident tone. His pool was big enough to contain you so you sometimes had a chance to transform, but Sylus noticed that it wasn’t really as big as it should be for you to swim around freely so he made it like 5 times bigger. And his bathtub got upgraded to a bigger one too so you would be able to bathe with him while in your lemurian form since he wanted you to feel free to always transform whenever you wanted.

Sylus adores it when you speak lemurian, it’s like the hottest thing to him. He knows many languages but this one he sadly can’t learn since it’s lost to time but it was no issue because now you get to teach him! He managed to pick up some necessary stuff for when you don’t remember words in English or for when you are feeling horrible during one of the many cycles you go through as a lemurian, things like “food”, “need water” or his favourite - “hug me”. He also loves to hear you sing, your voice is one of a true siren and he will gladly fall under your spell each time if it means he gets to hear you sing more.

Ensures that nobody knows except him that you are a lemurian, not even the twins know since as much as they are useful, they probably would make you feel swamped with questions which he didn’t want. One day someone during an auction accidentally heard you say something in lemurian to Sylus and he did not hesitate to kill that guy on the spot. Another time during an auction people were talking about lemurians, their blood especially, and some were trying to gather intel on them, but Sylus quickly shut the whole thing down, because not only he cared about you but also about the very few of your kind that were somewhere in the world.

Yess someone gets it!! Rafayel is so romantic and caring beneath that playful mask. How could he not when he literally gave us his heart?? He is devoted and smitten with love, he just hides it behind a well structured playful personality that's only shown to us.

Yes he pouts about waiting for us but he has every single reason to, he went through a lot and doesn't want it to happen again but also he loves us, he wants our time and he wants to make us happy, always.

You know that song from Epic: The musical "I would fall in love with you again"? Yeah. That's him. He would and he will always fall in love with us, no matter if he lost everything else because of loving us.

00:40.

I feel like a lot of people forget just how romantic rafayel is and can be.

Because sensuality comes with ease to him. He's a creature from the deep, incarnated in the body sculpted by the waves that break harshly against the rocks close to the shore, with the facial features of a god, surely hand painted with care by sea nymphs.

And before being something worthy of unending worship and adoration, the kind you'd drop on your knees, pray, praise, and bowl in respect, Rafayel is an artist.

Beside the inextinguishable flame in his heart, there is the burning passion of performing. Not literally, but Rafayel is something big, meant to be seen. Love and seduction come with ease to a being like him. His tongue is sharp but always drips with honey when you need it the most, and his bicolor hues burn with nothing but pure, genuine dedication.

So when you call him after work, voice low and strangled like a tormented sailor during a harsh storm, he listens. Waiting for the right moment to lure you in like a siren. Not out of malice, never, just the urge to tend to your troubled, seafarer mind.

And once you arrive at his studio, dragged in by his lovely voice, he's already waiting for your arrival in a silky robe, a bottle of wine in one hand while the other holds two crystal glasses.

Moonlight peeks through the thin, light fabric of the curtains adorning the tall windows of the studio. He guides you to the bathroom, and you wonder for a moment how much air can his lungs actually hold in. His humming, lullaby like, never stops.

His steps are light. If it weren't for his sweet voice, you'd barely be able to spot him in the dark corridor. The bathroom door is ajar, letting the candles’ flames finally give you a proper view of your lover.

You don't process if it's tiredness, his voice or both that make your brain grow foggy and your eyes droopy but you pay no mind, giving yourself entirely to him as an act of trust, a prayer to the one you worship with fervor.

His hands handle you with genuine care. His lips meet the back of your neck, and his nose fits just right on nape. Like a piece of a shattered porcelain art piece that slowly comes all together once again.

With his help and guidance, your dirty uniform falls on the floor. Your bare body is barely illuminated by the shaky flames burning the candles’ wick.

You're the first one to sink into the warm, scented water on his stupidly large tub. The atmosphere is too cozy, and soon, your mind finds ease and well-deserved rest.

Rafayel's eyes stare at you with a loving gaze. The intimacy that doesn't necessarily need to be sexual to feel good. That's where he feels at home.

His siren melody falters, giving space for a chuckle to leave his throat once he notices your sleepy form.

Silently, his robes come undone, and he joins you on the bathtub, a glass in hand. Sipping the velvety liquid, he guides your limp body closer to his, worried you'll slip and choke on soapy water while sleeping.

Rafayel is a sly, smart siren that lures you in when you need it the most. Rafayel is the artist that has you as his muse. Rafayel is the man who puts on extra performances like this as acts of praise.

And he wouldn't have it in any other way.

I wrote this in an hour while watching tiktok uhmm

[nymphaea-blue]

hi! do you ever plan on including caleb in your writings?

Hello anon! <3

Currently I do not plan to include Caleb! I know this might disappoint some people but I simply don't like him so I didn't catch up on his story or memories (I didn't even unlock him as a character in the menu yet) ^^, So sorry to all the Caleb girlies but he won't make an appearance on this blog :')

When it comes to our main 4 however, I got some more ideas and drafts that will probably be released soon enough, including one longer request if it works out :D

Love and Deepspace boys comforting you through stressful situations.

Info : 3.3k+ word count (about 700-900 per part), hurt/comfort, angst mixed with fluff, talks of periods (Zaynes part), mentions of throwing up (Zaynes part), mentions of harassment (Sylus part), hinted violence/murder (Sylus part).

Note : I had such a hard week I had to write about it, I hope some girlies here will relate because wow I would love to have Rafayel comfort me after I did in fact miss 3 of my trains two days ago 😭 Reqs are open!

Rafayel

The day was hard for you.

Ever since you met Rafayel, you thought your life would only be happy and it worked for a while, whenever he was with you, you were just so happy. No matter if something happened, if you messed something up, he was there to cheer you up.

But not today, since he had an exhibition to attend and one you sadly couldn't come to because of your work schedule. You were assigned a mission in a nearby city, it wasn't extremely far, about an hour away by train, but it was for multiple days which caused you to miss him, phone calls weren't enough.

Earlier that day, you were getting ready to leave to go to the station, but something came up so you had to take care of that first and later on you had to rush to catch your train but about halfway you realised it wasn't worth it. That's fine, just a minor setback, surely you will make it to the next train, right?

Wrong, just as you were getting ready to catch a taxi, you realised you didn't have your wallet so you had to run back to your hotel which took a while and you almost tripped while doing that since your suitcase was full but it didn't matter, you just wanted to make it home back to Rafayel. Well, it took way longer than you thought and you wouldn't be able to make it as you only had a few minutes and you weren't even at the station. That's okay, there is another train, you will just arrive a little later, or so you thought.

As it turned out, the next train was in two hours.

Whopping two hours.

And oh you cried, it was so stressful to miss the first few trains but now that you found it that you will have to sit two hours, in a city away from home, from your boyfriend, out in the cold, with a heavy bag - that was enough to make you break down.

In the middle of the street, you reached for your phone with a shaky hand and pressed the call button. It rang a few times and you felt so bad for interrupting him, because it was his day, but you had no idea what else to do.

He picked it up after a few moments.

“Oh hey cutie! It's so good to hear you, it's boring here without you, you know. What's up?”

You wanted to answer but hearing his cheerful voice somehow made you cry even more and you started sobbing. Clearly, he heard.

“.. Woah, are you crying? What happened? Are you hurt?”

“N-no, it's not that Rafayel…”

“What is it then, talk to me. I'll make you all feel better.”

“It's just… I missed the last few of my trains and now I have to wait two hours.. I'm so so sorry, I tried to make it, but then my coworkers needed something last minute, then later on I forgot a wallet and now it turns out the next train is in damn two hours and I don't know what to do because it's freezing cold, I'm all alone and it's getting dark and I'm scared.” You just sobbed out into the phone all your thoughts as you tightly gripped onto your bag as you did your best to hold yourself upright.

There was silence on the line for a moment as he was hearing you out and processing the information you gave him, then he finally answered.

“Don’t apologize, it happens sometimes cutie. Where are you right now?” Rafayel asked, surprisingly calm as he did his best to soothe you.

“At the train station.. I should be back home in 3 hours. I'm so sorry, I thought I would make it back home before your exhibition ends so I would be able to surprise you or perhaps attend the ending of it but I messed up..”

“Okay, don't apologize, it happens and I don't blame you, you know that right? Stay where you are, transport will be there soon enough.”

“Transport..? What do you mean?”

“I'm going to pick you up, duh. You didn't think I would let you sit out there for two hours, right?”

“No you can't do that, you have your exhibition to attend. I'll do fine on my own, really-” He cut you off. You weren't sure what you were expecting but surely it wasn't that he would pick you up, the city was almost an hour away by car.

“Yeah yeah, an important exhibition or something. Thomas can handle the rest, I sat there for longer than usual anyways, but I can't just sit here and do nothing while my lovely partner sits somewhere and is clearly uncomfortable.”

“You just hang on tight sweetheart, alright? I will be there soon, why don't you stay with me on the line while I drive so you will feel more safe, hm?” He added and you can hear the faint sounds of an engine starting from the other side of the line. He really did just decide to pick you up.

“Yeah, that will be perfect.. thank you Rafayel.” You wiped some of your tears, feeling better now after hearing his reassurance

“No problem. And hey,”

“Hm?”

“You are pretty strong, miss bodyguard, but it's no shame to let some of those tears fall sometimes, yeah?”

Zayne

You were currently crying in Zaynes bedroom as you felt another cramp in your abdomen. It hurt, it hurt so much but worse of all, you weren't expecting your period, it came early so you had to come back from work because you had no pads and practically bled through your hunters uniform, how embarrassing…

For some reason, this period was extremely painful for you. You couldn't eat because you felt nauseous, you had terrible mood swings to the point of overthinking everything, you felt dizzy whenever you moved and you were craving chocolate but you ran out. You ran out of all your supplies actually, which was just great. That was why you were at Zaynes house, he always had things stocked for you and you had the keys to it, so you sometimes went there when you needed comfort, like now.

So, with no one else to call, you decided to reach out to one person you were sure would help you when you felt like you were dying:

Zayne, your boyfriend and a doctor.

“Hello sweetheart, I just finished a surgery, is everything alright?” Your boyfriend asked and it was such a relief to hear his voice.

“No, not really… I feel really bad, Zayne. When do you get off from work?” You asked, trying not to sound desperate and to not make him worry, you felt like crying but you didn't want him to rush out of his job just to help you.

“My shift ends in about 3 hours, but what’s wrong? I can be home quicker if you need me.”

“... It's alright then, it's nothing serious, I can wait.” You tried your best to keep your voice stable as you curled into yourself more at the feeling of another cramp.

Clearly, it didn't work.

After a few moments of silence, Zayne spoke up again.

“I will be home in about 40 minutes. Try to stay calm for now, okay?” He quickly let you know and hung up before you even had the chance to tell him not to.

While you waited for him, you just lied on the bed, the heating bottle doing barely anything at this point as you sobbed at the discomfort. You felt terrible that he was rushing out of his very serious job just to help you, during something as silly as your period, you could handle it on your own after all.

After about 40 minutes, right as expected, he came back home.

“Here you are, I was so worried. What's wrong?” Zayne quickly came up to you and tilted your head gently to look you in the eyes, to try and spot any visible injury on your body and see how you were feeling.

You wanted to answer, you really did, but all that came out were sobs, pitiful, loud, sobs. He really did come home from the hospital just to help you, because he thought that you were seriously injured. He was an amazing boyfriend, you didn't deserve him for calling him for something like this.

“Hey, hey it's alright now. I'm here, calm down. Breathe in and out for me, okay?” He did his best to wipe away the tears coming down your cheeks and help you calm down, he hugged you tight and just held you in his arms until he felt you calm down slightly.

“Tell me what's wrong. I'll help you right away but I need to know what to do. I can't bear to see you cry like that..”

“I'm so so sorry, Zayne… I'm just on period, it came early and it's so goddamn painful for some reason, I was throwing up after everything I ate, I feel dizzy and overall awful and I didn't know what to do so I called you.. and now you are here, handling something stupid instead of saving someone's life, I'm sorry..” You sobbed into his shoulder as he held onto you so tightly as if you would disappear, you really hoped he would forgive you.

He was stunned for a moment, did he hear you right? You were apologising to him for asking for help? While you were sick? And he was a doctor?

Slowly and gently he pulled away from you, just to look you in the eyes as you were still sobbing.

“My love, you know you never need to feel sorry for that, right? I would drop everything even if I was in the middle of surgery if something ever happened to you.” He comforted you softly, patting your head and waving his hand through your hair in an effort to calm you down.

When your sobbing became soft crying instead, he decided to treat you. Zayne went ahead and found some painkillers, ones that should help for period pain and he also brewed some tea for you. After taking the medication, he sat next to you while you laid down on the bed, still all curled up.

“How do you feel? Are your symptoms getting better?” He asked, his voice so tender yet professional and you couldn't help but laugh at that.

“Yes, I feel much better, thanks to you Dr. Zayne.”

“Good, that's what I was hoping to hear. After your nausea goes down, I will make you something light to eat and then I can order some of those fancy desserts you like. How about that? You deserve it after such a hard day.”

Xavier

Okay, everything should be ready. Your briefcase is packed, all the documents are ready, your outfit is perfect and you even managed to wake up early to do some makeup and eat a healthy breakfast, what an amazing start to your day! Well, we won't talk about the fact you spilled coffee on your white shirt and had to change, but it worked out anyways.

You were very nervous, but also hopeful since so far everything was going almost exactly how it should be. Jenna was counting on you that day to deliver a presentation in front of the media about Linkons safety and actions your department would implement in the near future to improve even more and keep Wanderers away. It was a big deal, one that could perhaps also result in you getting a raise or a promotion so you wanted to do good.

As you were on the commute, which was of course packed, you were texting with your partner and boyfriend - Xavier. You woke up earlier than him to prepare so he was still at home as he didn't start his shift for a few more hours, despite that he still woke up early to chat with you and keep your nerves at bay.

During the ride, it was all fine at first but then at the next station even more people rushed in and the space was so tight, you could barely breathe. It was extremely uncomfortable as everyone was pressed against you and it was loud, very loud, too loud to even hear your thoughts. And of course, the commute had some issues, so you were stuck in one place for about 10 minutes.

After a very uncomfortable ride to work, you finally showed up, running quite late but you still had enough time to prepare so it was fine. You sat at your desk to go over the presentation when you realised. You forgot to bring the damn pendrive from home. You thought you saved it on your laptop but no, you searched for it and it wasn't anywhere and Jenna was about to come in and probably ask you about it!

You were ready to cry, honestly. You tried to be positive, not let everything bug you but you were stressed because you worked on the presentation for multiple days now and you were only about 10 minutes away from presenting it in front of the media but you didn't have it!

But there was still hope. You called your boyfriend who was probably napping since he didn't respond to your last text message that you sent him while you were still on your way to work, but hopefully he wouldn't be mad that you woke him up.

“Hm? Are you at work already? What's wrong?” He muttered sleepily.

“Xavier are you still at home?”

“Yes, did you forget something?”

“.. How did you know?”

“Just figured. You were nervous about this, it's only natural for someone to forget something during such a stressful day.”

“Yes, I don't have my pendrive… Could you perhaps get it from my apartment and deliver it to me, please? I'm literally about to present it in a few minutes, I can't mess this up!” You hoped he would be able to do this for you, you were almost crying but you didn't want to ruin your makeup so you held back and you guessed that he heard it.

“Okay calm down starlight. I will be there in a few moments, so take a deep breath, and you will do great. I know it. So don't stress so much and keep that wonderful smile on your face when you present, I will be there in the crowd to cheer you up.

And Xavier did come, in only two minutes he teleported to work with your pendrive and also some of your makeup to fix you up after crying. And he kept his word because he was there, in the crowd, right behind the cameras to keep your spirits up during your presentation. Afterwards, the two of you went to a hot pot spot to celebrate the successful presentation and your pay raise.

Sylus

After work, you decided to go have some fun in the nearby mall. You were working hard lately, so why not reward yourself a little bit?

There was a new movie coming out, you originally wanted to go see it with Sylus but he sadly had some work to do, so you decided to go on your own. It was amazing and you loved it, you had great seats right at the centre and there weren't many ads at the beginning so it felt like it was going to be perfect. However, somewhere in the middle of the film, you noticed two guys that were sitting next to you, they kept laughing and looking over at you, but you didn't think much of it.

After the movie you went to do some shopping. You entered one of your favourite stores and started browsing, there were a few cute things so you picked them and went to another aisle. As you walked around the store, you saw the same guys that sat next to you during the movie, but perhaps it was just a coincidence so you brushed it off. The shop had clothes for males as well after all so it was nothing suspicious, Sylus bought clothes there sometimes whenever he went shopping with you.

After you made your choice, you went ahead and paid at the till. The same two guys stood right behind you and they looked over you and your choice of clothes. There were some shoes, shirts and a few dresses, because who doesn't love a good shopping trip to spice up their wardrobe? Well, they looked at you in a way that you didn't really like, so you just swiped the black card and took your things neatly packed in bags before storming out.

It was fine, you convinced yourself. They perhaps were there looking for something. Maybe they just thought you looked familiar. Maybe they were your coworkers that you didn't recognise.

No matter, you decided to go to a nearby store to buy some makeup that you were running low on. As you peacefully browsed through the isles of products, searching for some face masks and skincare products for you and your boyfriend to enjoy later, you spotted them again. This time, however, they decided to talk to you.

“Hey, I have a question.” One guy dared to say, you decided to try and ignore him, despite how scared you were. What was their business with you? Normally you would know how to handle this but well, you were in public, so you couldn't just get rid of them as much as you wanted to.

“Did you hear me?”

“Are you single, perhaps? Or were all those beautiful clothes for some lame ass boyfriend?” The second man asked.

“Yeah, we can treat you much better, you know. Why don't you give us a show in those clothes?

And you were crying, at that point. Who the hell were these guys? Why were they doing that? And the worst part? The store was packed, so it was loud and no one else heard or paid attention to what was going on in the corner you were in.

Luckily though, someone appeared at the right moment.

It all happened quite quickly, you were crying and shaking while trying your best to ignore the guys or get away and the next moment, a certain black and red mist pulled you closer to the side of your hero, Sylus.

“I'm sure you guys would love to have a show, but that sight is only reserved for me.” He said in his usual tone yet you could see the daggers in his gaze at the guys while they stared in shock. You, however, were very happy to see him as suddenly all your worries disappeared and you hugged him tightly.

“There you are, sweetie. How are you doing? Did you have fun on your spa day?” He asked in a soft tone as his attention switched to you and he lifted your head to see how you were holding up.

“Yeah, I'm all better now… Thank you, Sy.” You smiled warmly at him as you wiped the rest of your tears.

“Wait… where are the guys that were here a minute ago?-” You asked after you looked back in the direction of where the two men stood earlier, but you saw nothing.

“Oh don't worry about it. Why don't we finish up here and then get something nice to eat, hm?”

“For the next time, if someone even dares to do this, just call me. I will always pick up if it's from you and take care of any of those pests that bother you.”

Sure enough, you never found out what happened to them but all you know is Sylus probably didn't let them get away with it alive. He took you to a fancy place to eat afterwards and you stayed the night at his place.

Mornings with Rafayel

Info : 500+ word count, pure fluff, shared baths but not for horny reasons.

Note : Quick post because I was studying all weekend and had no inspiration. 😔 Reqs are open!

Imagine casual mornings with Rafayel.

You would wake up all covered in a few paint-stained yet expensive blankets, probably still early in the morning, as he had you tightly in his grasp, each part of him touching you in some way. It was comforting despite how hard he was holding onto you, even in his sleep. After a bit of time, you manage to get out of the bed, though soon enough your still sleepy boyfriend woke up as well.

After some kisses and morning affection, the two of you would make your way to his bathroom to share a bath. Rafayel always enjoyed being close to you, and bathing together was the best way in his opinion since he was surrounded by water, which was once his home and brought him a sense of comfort. The baths would be long but filled with conversations and affection, sometimes you would fall asleep in the bath but don't worry, Rafayel always keeps you close and ensures you would be okay. On not so rare occasions, when he feels a bit more confident or just wants to, he will bathe with you in his merman form, since his bathtub is big enough to contain it and he always loves to see how your eyes sparkle at the sight of him.

After the hours long bath, the both of you would start your morning routine of doing skincare and getting dressed, Rafayel would often help you, especially with makeup, stealing kisses from you whenever possible. Later on it would be time for breakfast, mostly made by you while Rafayel whines at your side about annoying clients or his work and clings to you while you cook something. After eating, it would sadly be time for you to leave for work, he would give you a goodbye kiss or two, or when he feels especially clingy, might even drive you to your work place to stay with you for a few minutes longer.

During work, he would often text you, updating you about his life while also complaining if you won't respond for a longer while. Afterwards, when you are finally back at home, you would often spot him either painting or somewhere on the beach but no matter what time or where, he would always be ecstatic to see you and spoil you with affection once again.

After dinner and some quality time, it would be time for a quick bath once again, now a lot more relaxed and sleepy while his warmth and the sounds of the water slowly lull you to sleep. You would be barely conscious by the time Rafayel helps you out of the bath and get dressed, then he would help to get you to bed where you would cuddle, kiss and talk for a few more minutes before eventually falling deep asleep in his comfortable embrace.

And in the morning, you would do that all over again, yet it would never be tiring, because Rafayel was right at your side every moment of the day.

[nymphaea-blue]

This is soo true!! I love him, he can be both silly and romantic, and for him there is no such thing as "high expectations" when it comes to love - Lemurians live for love after all, so he's willing to do whatever to keep you happy <3

you might have the highest romantic expectations in the whole universe and rafayel will still make them happen.

you want a boquet of flowers every morning? he already ordered your favorites this morning and proudly says to the shop assistant that it's for the one he loves. you need someone to carry you back home after a tiring afternoon? he's having you in his arms before you can even complain about your feet hurting.

you need compliments? rafayel will say them more times than you need. you saw a cute dress but didn't have enough money for it? he already bought it and sent it to your apartment. you ask for a peck? he's kissing you so deeply it leaves you weak in the knees.

you want him to hold your hand when you're scared of something small? he'll gently reassure you because 'it's fine to feel weak and scared even as an adult'; and he'll stay with you until you calm down. you worry you're too needy? don't worry - rafayel needs you just as much, if not more.

when you're cold, rafayel will give you his jacket and kiss the tip of your freezing nose. his arms remain wrapped around your waist to give you even more of his warmth. once you're back in his place, he'll keep you close to him. for the warmth related reasons, of course.

with his chest against your back and his thumbs tracing soft circles against your waist, rafayel will mutter soft words of affection and place gentle open-mouthed kisses against your skin. again and again and again...

just to make sure you feel all his love.

[nymphaea-blue]

hii!!! I have a request, I'm overflowing with happiness as I just got accepted into an art school!! I'd love to see how Rafayel would react🥺🥺🩷🩷 Thank you and have a nice day!!!

"Mon petit artiste" - headcanons + oneshot

Info : 1.1k+ word count, pure fluff, Rafayel being the supportive boyfriend he is.

Note : Congrats Anon! I'm so happy for you, art school is the best thing that happened to me so I wish you all the best and I hope you will enjoy this <3

﹒　⁺ He would be absolutely ecstatic about it, though at the same time, it was already expected. Of course, Rafayel being the lovely boyfriend and amazing artist he is, would try to help you both with preparations for any entrance exams as well as the school material. As soon as he got the news from you, you bet the two of you are going on a small (huge and expensive) celebratory dinner date.

﹒　⁺ Rafayel would help you with any material and homework you have. Art history exam? No issue, he will help you make compact notes to make it easier and he will ask you about the material later on to help you remember. A project due in a few days? Give him some materials and some water to drink and he can help you finish it in a few hours so you won't procrastinate while working on your own. He knows a lot about art history, even without studying it much, his favourite topics would be Ancient Greece (and Lemurian Arts!).

﹒　⁺ Ever since more material you needed to study came, he was your personal motivator. Rafayel would do his best to keep you on track and to make sure you won’t put off too many projects at the last minute, as the results from last night's work aren’t always the best and he cares about your grades and health too much to let you put that stress on yourself. Though, he would also be there to pry you off your work when needed to make sure you will get some fresh air, food and fun as well as some time with him!

﹒　⁺ He probably has the biggest (one sided) drama with your professors, because he thinks your grades should be wayy better than they give you, especially since he often helps you prepare and he knows you deserve the best grade. One time a professor critiqued something that he said you should add to your project and he was pouty for the rest of the evening and he was a hair away from calling the school to complain.

﹒　⁺ Rafayel would be so proud of all your work! If your art ever got featured on an exhibition,you bet he will attend it and take photos of you next to your work like a proud mom. He is proud of your grades as well, he knows you work hard and he respects it, so he's not shy to shower you with kisses after you get your results. Even if you get a worse grade sometimes, he is there to cheer you up and if you want to, help to prepare you to retake whatever you failed!

﹒　⁺ I fully believe Rafayel would get invested into any class drama you have, he loves to hear you talk about both your friends and any enemies. He somehow keeps up with everything and it feels like gossiping with a best friend rather than a boyfriend because he’s so chill about whatever you tell him.

﹒　⁺ You often get picked up by him when your classes end. He has your schedule memorised and since he knows that classes tend to end during late hours of the day, he is always there to pick you up, take you somewhere for dinner and get you home to rest and cuddle with him to make up for the time you were away.

“Hello my wonderful artist, how was school today?” Rafayel asked as he saw you walk towards him. He parked in front of your school, so you were easily able to spot him when your class ended and the people started heading home.  You sighed and gave him a kiss, despite how draining school could be, somehow he always made you feel energised even just by looking at him. You put away your art folder in the back of his car before sitting in the passenger seat after he opened the doors for you. The drive started, he blasted some radio music as you got to relax a bit, his sports car sure was comfortable. “Long and boring, but nice nonetheless. We finally got the results from that art history quiz I studied so hard for.” “Took the teacher long enough, but what did you get? I’m sure you did amazing.” “A C, it isn’t bad, honestly. Most of my class failed, but I was hoping for a better grade.” “What?! How? I literally prepared you for this, you know all about Lemurian culture, even about how columns were built.” He was confused and annoyed, but his eyes stayed firmly on the road, though you weren’t sure if he was going at the speed limit, but this was nothing new. Rafayel was excited when he heard you were learning about Lemuria, there wasn’t much found by humans but they made it necessary to study anyways and he was proud of his people because their work was wonderful, so he was more than happy to teach you. He prepared you in such a way that you knew everything, perhaps it was easier to learn because it was something so dear to your boyfriend, he was so enthusiastic while talking about it, it was hard not to listen and remember. “I don’t know… I’m a bit disappointed as well. I studied, I understood the material, I wrote everything so I don’t know why that happened, but at least I passed. That’s something to be positive about, right?” You tried to cheer yourself up. Even though you were happy that you passed, it still didn’t feel like enough since you worked lots in preparation for the quiz, yet somehow it didn’t work out how you wanted.  “I don’t believe you could get that grade… Is it possible to take a look at the quiz, perhaps?” He asked, he was sure there had to be something wrong. Of course, he didn’t expect human knowledge on Lemuria to be very advanced but despite that, the material should be close enough to the truth and you should easily get an A. He knew you deserved it, as he saw how hard you studied. “Well, I think so. I can ask my professor for it next time.” “Great, you do that, aaand how about we get some dinner right now, hm? Your favourite takeout maybe?” As it turned out, Rafayel was right and most of your answers were marked as wrong by mistake, and he was furious about it. Needless to say, one phone call and your grade got corrected to a well deserved A, though your professor looks at you a bit funny ever since speaking with Rafayel, but you try to not think about how the conversation went for the sake of your sanity.

Period care with Love and Deepspace boys

Info : 2k+ word count, fluff, mentions of sickness (throwing up), talks about periods (obviously), mentions of doctors, our boys being really supportive <3

Note : Oh to have Rafayel warm my tummy and Sylus cook me a meal during my period 😔 Also my reqs are open! I won't always be able to write, but I will do my best on weekends<3

Rafayel

﹒　⁺ Is inexperienced about the matter because of his lemurian origin, but after a bit of googling he got the gist of how to help you. He wanted to help you and make you feel better so he tried his best.

﹒　⁺ He would try not to tease you as much and he would be patient about your mood swings. In a way, he finally realised how you felt about his dramatic antics because you sure were hard to please while you were on your period.

﹒　⁺ Rafayel would have lots of sweets and supplies stacked after you started dating and visiting him more often. He wouldn't be bothered if you wanted to stick with him during the week, in fact he encourages it, especially if you deal with painful cramps, though he would panic a bit each time you expressed any pain.

“Heyy, sweetheart?” No response. Okay then, he would try again, he nudged gently what he assumed to be you all cocooned under his blankets. “Cutie? My love? My lovely bride?” Eventually, you finally lifted the blanket enough to the point he was able to see your eyes. “How are you feeling? I got you some sweets and the medicine you asked for.” He, ever so carefully, set down the tray of food at the table as he sat down next to you on the bed. “Thank you… I feel horrible, to be honest.” You sighed as you managed to untangle yourself from your perfectly made comfort space to sit down and take a bite of the sweets he got you. They were your favourites, everything from treats with chocolate to your weird cravings, but he didn't question it and got them for you. What a lovely boyfriend you had. “No need to thank me, I'm doing the bare minimum. Take your medicine and when you feel better, we can cuddle, how about that?” He offered you a cup of tea as well, to help you take down the medicine and help with cramps. “That sounds amazing, actually.” You agreed to his suggestion and took the medication, even though they were bitter and you hated the taste, you managed to swallow them. He gently praised you and helped you to lay down after you took them. He got behind you, with your head laying nicely on his chest and almost on his shoulder, so he could sneak a few kisses to your neck. After a few minutes he placed his hands on your lower tummy, right where it hurt, and you started to feel a pleasant, warm sensation. “Ooh that feels nice… Like my water bottle, but better and more cuddly.” He chuckled softly as you called him cuddly, he did his best to control his EVOL so it would help you, since he often saw you use something warm on your tummy but sometimes he could see you couldn't really get into a comfortable position, so he thought he would do the job much better on his own. “I'm glad I got hired as your new water bottle. I hope my hands aren't too hot, right? If it starts to burn, let me know, I don't want to hurt you.”  “Now, cutie, just try to rest, alright? Or if you want, we can watch something together, hm? I'm free all day anyways.” “Don't you have an exhibition later today..?” “...” “Eh, Thomas can figure it out.”

Zayne

﹒　⁺ He knows a lot about it, he's a doctor so he had to study about the women's body but especially after the two of you got together he decided to dive deeper into the topic. 

﹒　⁺ Zayne way of helping would include tea, healthy meals and tummy massages, as well as prescribing you medicine or giving you a sick note for work when needed. He was a little worried, even though he was a doctor and he knew it was normal, he still didn't like seeing you in pain.

﹒　⁺ His house would have all the supplies, food as well as spare clothes for you since he much prefers you to spend your period at his house, that way he can ensure you will be in good condition. Zayne doesn't mind putting up with your moods or potential stains, he just wants to see you comfortable again.

“Hello, sweetheart. How are you feeling?” Zayne asked as he saw you laying down on his couch after he came back from work. Unsurprisingly, you were in the same position as when he left you when he went to work, so you slept through most of the day probably, which was good. “I'm doing okay, better thanks to the medicine you gave me. I'm all sleepy though…” You yawned after you gave him a kiss on the cheek when he came closer. The entire day you just wanted to sleep, eat, cry and then sleep again. “That's a possible side effect, but it might also be a way for your body to rest after what happened. I'm glad to see you better, you didn't look your best in the morning.” “You can just say that I looked horrible, Zayne , I felt that way too.”  “... I wanted to be more polite. Although, this wasn't the first time that happened, yes? I have a colleague at work, she's a gynecologist, a good one at that. I can get you in contact with her and make an appointment if you wish, you should get your condition checked out, being in so much pain isn't normal.” He proposed as he started to brew some tea, both for you and himself. “Maybe you are right, I suppose it would be better than having to ask you for prescriptions each month.” You sighed, agreeing with him. As much as you dreaded a doctor visit, it was needed at that point. “I don't mind doing that, by the way. Your health is the most important for me.”

Xavier

﹒　⁺ Slightly confused but knows what to do. He does read lots of articles about how to take care of you online after the two of you start dating, but he had a general knowledge before that.

﹒　⁺ Xavier would take naps with you often, in fact, he would force you to nap with him. You can't be moody or in much pain when you are asleep, right? So he just gets you into his grasp, all nice and warm, and he cuddles you to sleep.

﹒　⁺ His apartment didn't have supplies at first as he didn't know which ones you use, but after you ended up staying over when your cramps got particularly bad, he did get you everything you needed to make sure you would be comfortable. After that, his bathroom is stocked monthly, as well as the sweets drawer (both in his and your apartment).

“... Xavier?” You attempted to get out of his grasp, but he just pulled you closer against him. A few hours ago you were supposed to do some reports for work, you might be on your period but wanderers don't stop after all, so you wanted to go to work tomorrow, but a certain someone pulled you to sleep before you could even touch the papers. “Yeah? What's wrong?” He yawned as he snuggled his head into the crook of your neck. “I need to get up.” “Are you hurting?” “No.” “Do you need to use the bathroom? Are you hungry?” “Well, no.” “Then you don't need to get up. Let's rest some more.” Xavier pulled you closer at that, your back against his chest. “Xavier I need to do reports for tomorrow!” You struggled against him again, you wanted to pry his hands off of you but to no avail, all you did was irritate your stomach more. “No you don't, I called in sick for you, capitan Jenna already agreed that we both have the rest of the week off. Now, relax a little, unless you want to hurt yourself more.” Xavier responded in a matter-of-fact tone, as his arms gently eased around you so as to not hurt you when he heard you whimper. “... I don't know if I should be mad or happy about what you did.” “You should give me a kiss and go back to sleep.” “But it's 3pm?-” “So? Still early. We can take one more little nap before I get lunch.”

Sylus

﹒　⁺ He had a decent amount of knowledge and it stayed that way. He knew how to take care of you and he felt confident in his abilities to care for you during your period, but he can be too overbearing sometimes.

﹒　⁺ He would care for you by getting you food, lots of it. Sweets, drinks, full meals made by a chef, whatever you want. You also have Luke and Kieran at your beck and call if they aren't with him on business, and Mephisto always stays with you so Sylus can keep an eye on you.

﹒　⁺ The mansion would always be fully stocked ever since you came into his life, he found out your favourite brand to use and he got you that, you never have to ask since he checks what's left regularly. He has sweets very often somewhere on his desk for you too.

A loud ringing was heard through your apartment for what you guessed was the fifth time today in a row. Annoyed, you decided to get up and finally open, even though your stomach felt like it was cut in half. “Why good morning, kitten. You had a nice nap?” Sylus greeted you with that familiar smirk of his, though at this moment you found it a bit comforting. “Sylus ..? What are you doing here?” You asked, surprised to see him lean against the doorway to your small apartment. You didn't have much time to ponder as he gently guided you inside and closed the doors behind himself. “Mephisto reported that you didn't leave your bed in over 5 hours, so I thought to check on you. I must say, your abilities to ignore phone calls and door ringing are very admirable.” He walked into your kitchen and put down a bag on the table, before he started to boil some water in a kettle. “Sorry, I just didn't feel like existing today..” You sighed as you sat down on the couch, or well, attempted to before your stomach started cramping again and you found yourself almost lying on the floor instead because of the pain.  Sylus was by your side in a second and he gently put a pillow under your head as well as a blanket over you, he got you a bowl besides the couch too, just in case, since you looked extremely pale. “Don't worry about that sweetie. I'm here now, so I will help you get back to life. We are going to my base later, but for now I got you some food and medicine. That doctor friend of yours proved to be very cooperative, so hopefully you should get better after taking the pills he prescribed.” “You talked with Zayne..? For me?” “Of course, that man is a doctor and I don't know that much about medicine, unless we are talking about sedatives. I told him that I needed something for you and he did recommend a few things, if it doesn't work then I will need to have a… nice chat with him.” “Now, you just lie back and relax. I got you some tea and sweets, but first you need a meal before I can give you them and the medicine, so take a small nap while I work on that, won't you?”

[nymphaea-blue]

Rafayel with artist!reader

Info : 1k+ word count, fluff, slight mentions of Rafayels lore.

Notes : We all heard of "matching his freak" but what about "matching his artistic spirit"?? Aka this is for all my girlies interested in art, I did this because I know he would help me survive my design class 😔

﹒　⁺ Rafayel who would show you his work enthusiastically and explain everything about it to you after you said you “don't know much about art”. You loved listening to his explanations, even after he shared the most basic stuff with you and from that alone, you swore your art got better.

﹒　⁺ Rafayel who started to suspect that you might be more talented than you told him after he took you to a pottery studio for a date and you ended up painting such a cute doodle of artsy birb on one of the cups, yet you just laughed him off and said doodles aren't that hard to do.

﹒　⁺ Rafayel who one day, finally spotted some of your drawings in your apartment when he was visiting. You didn't hide your work well enough and he spotted one of the projects you did for school on your desk, so now you had to explain yourself.

﹒　⁺ Rafayel who listened in slight disbelief as you nervously explained to him that you didn't want him to think that you were just with him because he's an artist, a famous artist, at that. You truly loved him and his art was something you loved, yes, but never wanted to exploit his abilities, so you played dumb when it came to art so he wouldn't think you were using him.

﹒　⁺ Rafayel who then laughed at you for thinking such silly things, he loved you and frankly, it was a bit endearing that you thought so much about him and that you didn't want to worry him, but he was also never worried about someone using him for his art abilities in the first place, because he could feel the love you have for him (cough cough, because of the bond, which made his life a lot easier when it came to your moods).

﹒　⁺ Rafayel who after that, often helped you with your art, especially when projects and homework piled up and you needed some extra hands or motivation to finish them. He would be there, either drawing alongside you or sometimes helping you finish a project or two when you really needed help. You told him that he didn't need to do all that but he just brushed off your concerns : “Why wouldn't I help when I have the ability and the time to do so? Besides, it's better than working on another commission Thomas is nagging me to finish.”

  It was a nice, sunny day. Rafayels studio was quite warm, but none of you cared about it since the sunlight proved to be the perfect light source for your paintings. Ever since your lovely, artistic boyfriend found out about your love for art, he was insistent on having art dates and seeing your abilities in person. Were you nervous about showing your work to a world class artist? Yes, but he was also your boyfriend, and he would never judge you. “You know, you are staring a lot. Do I have paint on my face, hm cutie?” Rafayel teased you slightly as he caught your eyes wandering to his face yet again instead of the still life the two of you were supposed to paint. You blushed slightly at his words, but you opted to hide your face more behind your canvas instead of trying to win over him when it came to teasing. He was right after all, but you saw the way his eyes looked at you ever so often as well. “... You are no better, I would say.” You said as you continued your work, you looked at the composition in front of you, before eventually looking back at your canvas and continuing to work. “I'm finished with my work, so I can pay attention to something more interesting now.” “Huh, already?!” You questioned, panicking slightly since you weren't really even halfway done yet, only base colours done and some basic shading. “Nah I'm just making fun of you. Don't worry, I'm not done either, buuutt I'm sure you can show me your progress now, righttt?” You stared at your canvas for a moment, you weren't really painting the composition the two of you agreed upon, you were painting Rafayel. How could you not when he sat right across from you and he looked so focused on his work? You saw Rafayel working many times before but it felt different now for some reason and you wanted to capture that handsome face of his.  “Only if you show me yours as well.” “Sure, I have nothing to hide.” He shrugged and presented you his work as you showed him what you did as well. He painted you. The painting was beautiful, of course, even when it wasn't finished. The signature light colours of his swirled perfectly to create you, looking at the composition, with your face and eyes illuminated by sunlight. It looked ethereal, even though the two of you started almost two hours ago only. “... It seems we both had the same idea.” You laughed slightly, it was surprising that the two of you had the same idea at the same time, but you found it charming nonetheless.  “Well, great minds think alike, am I right?”

﹒　⁺ Rafayel who never judged your art, only praised it. He often gave you advice or friendly critique, but only when you asked, and he never touched your work by himself. He was extremely supportive of your abilities and all the paintings or sketches he got from you were proudly showcased on his wall.

﹒　⁺ Rafayel who gave you art supplies. Lots of them, all high quality or hand made. You told him many times that he doesn't need to but he says that you deserve the same equipment as him. Also, suddenly there is another easel in his studio in a nice separate corner yet close to his work space as well, he didn't say specifically that they are for you, but he encourages you to come to his studio when you want to paint.

﹒　⁺ Rafayel who overall is absolutely ecstatic about having a partner that also loves art, he thinks it's so wonderful that he can do the thing he loves most with the most important person in his life.

Romantic gestures with Love and Deepspace boys

Info : 1200+ word count (about 300 per part), fluff, mentions of possessive Xavier (nothing strange there), slight suggestive mentions.

Notes : Something small for Women's Day! Enjoyy <3

Rafayel

He would always pull out the chair for you during dinner dates and would take off your coat for you! I am a firm believer that he is a bit of a hopeless romantic and a gentleman, but also he takes it very seriously since love is important for him as he’s a Lemurian, so you can expect to have absolutely the best time of your life wherever you go out with him. Rafayel would also enjoy the small domestic moments with you, like helping you do your makeup, shopping with you or cooking together, after waiting for you for so long, he’s more than happy to spend quality time and see you so peacefully at his side.

He buys you gifts, frequently. Sometimes you will arrive back at home after work and see a package on your doorstep and of course - it’s from Rafayel. The gifts can be anything from jewelry, sketches of you and your date spots to sometimes even flowers when he can’t be there to give you them on his own because of travels. 

Rafayel loves giving you kisses! They are always so sensual and slow, yet you can feel the passion and the love he has for you in each of them. The kisses aren’t only on your lips either, a kiss on the back of your hand when he invites you to go somewhere with him, a kiss on your cheek during the mornings you share together or a kiss on the forehead to comfort you or shower you with affection, it’s always his favourite part of the day <3

Zayne

Now he’s a delicious mix of casual and romantic love, his love is purely domestic and so comforting. Zayne, being raised a proper gentleman by his parents, will always follow simple rules such as letting you go first when entering a restaurant, walking at the side closest to the road or paying for you during the dates. He’s no stranger to that type of affection and he thinks it’s important, because then you don’t need to worry at all during dates with him. However, the other side of his love is more homey, almost natural. He always makes sure to have your favourite sweets stacked inside his home as well as any supplies you may need, he has some of your clothes kept in his closet at all times if you ever want to sleep over at his place and you also own the spare keys to his house.

He doesn’t really do many gifts, but he will always give you flowers on special occasions or on your dates. He much prefers to spend time with you rather than to shower you with trinkets, in his mind that’s the most appropriate way to show love. If you ever need to buy something though or you like something, he will buy it for you without a problem whenever the two of you are out together, you can consider that a gift.

Zayne is the most reserved when it comes to affection, but he still shares it with you and it’s always perfect. He won’t do too much, no, he doesn’t need to be showy about it. A passionate yet gentle kiss with his arms hugging you or a kiss to the inside of your wrist when you cradle his cheek after his hard day of work, that’s the affection he gives, and you eat it up every time.

Xavier

He’s more of a casual romantic, so he treasures calm dates with you! His favourite activities are going on slow walks with you, sometimes through the park in Linkon and sometimes through the spots he found randomly. Either way, the dates are always full of love, even if they aren’t expensive, because he always makes sure to be as close to you as possible : be it your hand in his when he wants to guide you somewhere or a hand at the small of your back when someone passes by you just too close for his liking.

Xavier loves making memories with you, so while his gifts might not be fancy then they all carry a meaning. Most of the time, the gifts are from places the two of you visited, sometimes they are silly handmade trinkets he did while he was bored at work and other times they are flowers he handpicked for you to form a small yet unique bouquet.

His way of showing you affection would be a mix of words and actions, while he might not do too much PDA in public unless he has a reason to, he will openly tell you that he treasures the moments he has with you and that he enjoys the date and he will carry your bags when needed as well. But he can be affectionate as well, kisses with him are mostly full of love and lots of passion and they happen pretty often, though his favourite way of showing you love would be hugs or just touching you in general, he frequently falls asleep in your arms.

Sylus

He’s a sly little lover boy, we all know it. He’s comfortable with his love for you, it’s romantic, casual, yet so playful at the same time. During dates he will pull out a chair for you if needed, though whenever you accompany him for business or are hanging out inside his house, he much prefers you to be at his side or on his lap instead. He loves to take off your coat for you and will help you dress up for the date as well if you only wish so, just give him a word and he’s already on his knees to help you put on your shoes. At the same time, he’s not scared of being a little playful, sometimes he will tease you just for the sake of it and to see your reaction, but you are free to tease him back.

Gifts? Very often, but you also have access to his black card whenever you want and he encourages you to use it to buy things for yourself. Sometimes a random package will come to your apartment and it turns out to be a dress, one time you opened up your closet to find a new, much more comfortable but also expensive pajama (in red, of course), oh and also can’t forget about the time he bought you a new gun because the one provided by your job was “too old and basic for you”. I don’t know how he would feel about giving you flowers, perhaps on special occasions, but if you ever express wanting to be given flowers then he will get you them with no hesitation.

Sylus loves affection, no questions asked. He will not be shy about it, he loves it, he has no issues kissing you in public or putting you on his lap while he deals with serious matters. People might look at him like he’s crazy but he doesn’t care, you are the most important person in his life and he isn’t afraid to show that to the world. Don’t try to get too touchy with him outside though, because he will refuse until the both of you are somewhere private.

Oneshot - Rafayel taking care of you.

Info : 1800+ word count, fluff, reader and Rafayel in a relationship, mentions sickness (fever, dry/scratchy throat, loss of appetite, weakness) + wounds, maybe hurt/comfort, small spoiler to Rafayels lore.

Notes : This is for everyone that is sick right now, like me.. ^^, I am planning to write something for his birthday, but we will see if I will feel good enough. Good luck with your pulls if you are going for his birthday memory as well! <3

It was a horrible day for you, to say the least.

You woke up with a dry throat, you took a sip of water in hopes that it would soothe the scratchiness but it didn’t work - and that was how you knew you were sick. Despite your sickness, you still came to work, you couldn’t just call out an hour before you were supposed to start your mission.

The entire day, you felt miserable, your throat was all dry and scratchy which soon also resulted in coughing and your head started to hurt, because of course a fever was also something you needed. Some of your teammates quickly understood that you were sick and tried to get you to go back home but you refused each time, even your mission partner, Xavier, couldn’t get it through to you that you needed rest. In your eyes, if you already made the effort to get up from bed, you might as well stick around long enough to finish it.

Because of your sickness, missions weren’t as easy to manage as usual and you ended up with a few small wounds, but because of your sickness you felt more weak and sensitive so they still hurt you quite a lot. But even despite the pain, at the end of your work day you showed up to the base to handle all file documents from the missions you did that day to Jenna, even though she saw how terrible you looked and asked you to stay at home until you felt better.

After all your work was done, you went back home and quickly plopped onto your bed, not even bothering to eat something or change clothes, you didn’t have an appetite in the moment anyways. Sure enough, after a few moments you fell asleep, all the stress of the day finally getting to you. It felt nice to relax even for a moment, your body needed that so you allowed yourself to take a quick nap. 

That “quick nap” of yours wasn’t quick at all, in fact, by the time you woke up, it was the next morning already. Still sleepy and very weak from your sickness, which wasn’t getting better, you could hear some sort of sound somewhere in your apartment, but you guessed that it was just something going on in the corridor so you went back to sleep. Despite all those hours, you still felt quite tired and you honestly didn’t have energy for anything else but sleeping.

“Cutie.. cutie!”

“Hey, wake up!”

You could feel someone shaking your shoulder, which slowly awakened you from your slumber. As you opened your eyes a little, the sun was shining a bit too much for your liking at that moment, you saw… Rafayel? 

“Finally! I thought you would never wake up, you know! Don’t scare me like that again.” He said dramatically before he sighed, relieved to see you awake and alive.

“Rafayel..? What are you doing here? What time is it?” You questioned as you rubbed your eyes a little to try and get more awake but it was almost futile. You felt so confused, perhaps sleeping for such a long time wasn’t a great idea but you needed it, and honestly, a few more hours would be even better.

“I decided to check on you after you didn’t even read my messages from yesterday and didn’t pick up my calls, I was getting worried. And it’s 4pm by the way, which makes me wonder why you are still in bed.” Rafayel responded in a slightly worried and perhaps a bit scolding tone, and you couldn’t help but feel a little bad, you made him worry so much.

“I’m so sorry Rafayel…I just felt horrible lately, I didn’t even hear your calls.” You responded with an apologetic tone, before you tried to search for your phone to see how many messages you missed. 

You quickly realised it wasn’t on the bed with you and it wasn’t on the bedside table, so you probably left it in your work bag which was in the living room. Now the strange noise you heard a few hours ago made sense and you almost facepalmed yourself at how stupid you were, but that quickly erupted into a cough.

“Oh yeahh that doesn’t sound too good… are you okay? How do you feel? Should I take you to the hospital?” 

“N-no, no need for that.. It’s just a cold probably Rafayel, I’ll be fine-”

You were about to say more but your words got cut off as Rafayel suddenly place his hand on your forehead and his face was close to yours, you could see the worry and perhaps even fear in those pinkish blue eyes of his. The way his eyebrows furrowed, his lips were slightly downturned and there was a slight gloss in his eyes as he looked over your face, to see how you were.

“You are not fine. I don’t think your forehead should be this hot, and all those wounds on your body… Why didn’t you call me? I would be here to help however I can.” He asked as he took his hand away from your forehead but placed it on your cheek instead, you could feel the love and worry in his touch as he touched you so gently as if you would break yet also firm enough as if he feared that if he would let go - you wouldn’t be there anymore.

“I felt very tired, I didn’t think straight… I went to work yesterday, I thought I would be able to handle it but I couldn’t and at the end of the day I practically passed out in bed. Besides, I thought you would be busy, so I didn’t want to worry you.” You said as you leaned further into his hand a little, you felt shame in not calling him, you knew he would come if you only even thought of asking him for help.

“Oh cutie, you don’t need to worry about bothering me. Nothing is more important than you, you know that.” He responded, now with a soft smile as he suddenly took you into his arms in a princess carry.

“Huh? Where are we going? I’m still in my work clothes!”

“Back to my place, you didn’t think I would just let you suffer alone, did you? And don’t worry about your clothes, I have some of yours in my closet from the last time you came over.”

After a short ride in his sports car, you arrived at his home. Rafayel, being the gentleman he is, carried you upstairs to his bedroom as soon as he unlocked the door and placed you down on it gently before he tucked you in.

“There, all nice and comfy. Now, what do you need?”

“Hmm.. some water would be nice, or hot tea, for my throat.”

“You got it!”

It only took a few minutes before Rafayel eventually arrived with some of your favourite tea, all properly prepared and even cooled down a bit so you would be able to drink it without burning yourself.

“Ah, that feels much better, thank you!” You said after you took a sip of the tea, your throat finally got some much needed relief from the dryness, even if only temporary.

“I’m just glad I could help. What else do you need? Maybe I should call a doctor, just in case, you still look very weak.”

“No no, don’t worry about it. I’m okay for now.”

“Are you sure? Did you eat something?”

“...”

“I knew that. Wait here for a moment, Chef Rafayel will make something great for you!”

Soon enough, he returned again, with a few dishes. The meal consisted of seafood, some kind of spicy pasta, sandwiches and a variety of chocolates and other sweets alongside a soda. It looked like he put together a bunch of ingredients from his fridge together, which was adorable in a way, but also you couldn’t have most of them currently. In the end you only picked the sandwich.

“What’s wrong? Are you not hungry? You need to eat to get better from what I heard.” Rafayel questioned as he saw that you didn’t eat much, rather you stuck to the sandwiches and took a few bites of the sweets he got for you.

“It’s not that, it’s just… I can’t have most of these, it won’t be good for my stomach right now.”

“Huh? Really?”

You felt slightly confused by his demeanor, did he not know that? He seemed quite surprised at the news, he thought that he just got you your favourite food and you would be okay.

“Yeah, spicy food can worsen my issues and upset my stomach since I haven't eaten anything in a while. Chocolate is okay but I shouldn’t drink soda since it can be bad for my stomach and seafood is, well, cold, which wouldn’t be good for my throat.” You explained patiently to him.

“Ohh.. it makes sense. I’m sorry, I guess we will stick you to plain food for now huh?”

“Mhm, that would be best. You didn’t know about this?” You asked him finally, you weren’t trying to be mean but you were just curious.

“No, not really. You see, Lemurians rarely get sick,and if we do, then we have ways to get rid of it but I guessed that it would be different than it is for humans.”

And that was when it hit you - his fearful and worried demeanor, the confusion and weird insistence of getting medical help for a cold and the odd food he gave you, it was all because he was Lemurian and was never sick before but he still tried to care for you anyways.

“That’s okay, thanks for helping me anyways. I’ll guide you on what you should do, how about that?” You proposed with a smile, it felt nice that you had such a caring boyfriend who was willing to help you even if he had no idea what to do.

For the next few days, you guided Rafayel and he did a splendid job of taking care of you after a few instructions. Those days, though still slightly uncomfortable because of your sickness, were very wholesome and relaxing, as they were spent with the person who loved you so much he learned about human medicine just for you. He took his role as your personal nurse very seriously and in the end, you slowly got better, thanks to his help. Ever since then, you promised both yourself and him, that you would always let him know if you ever get sick again.

Rafayel x lemurian!Reader 

Info : 400+ word count, fluff, lemurian!reader, reader is female, mentions possessive Rafayel, possible lore inaccuracies, slight spoilers to his lore.

Notes : I didn't see many fanfics with Lemurian!reader but I love the concept of it very much so here it is! :D I don't have his myths cards so it's possible that some aspects are not accurate but hopefully it's not too bad.

﹒　⁺ Rafayel would find out that you are a Lemurian quickly, if not immediately. He was the sea god after all, he knows his people. Besides, your beauty was one truly fitting a Lemurian, he was enchanted when he saw you so of course, he started talking to you, more and more often. Maybe at first it would seem like an incident that you met him so many times, but when he mentioned to you something about Lemuria, you knew it wasn't casual anymore.

﹒　⁺ Rafayel would be extremely romantic! He is normally romantic as well but since you come from the same home it just feels more special, he can't help but go all out. He would try to romance you in a traditional way for Lemurians, in such a loving, caring and respectful manner it would be the cutest thing ever <3

﹒　⁺ Rafayel would take you on swimming dates! His house is literally on a beach so especially during summer - your outings would be frequent. When he first saw you in your Lemurian form he got extremely flustered and he fell in love with you even more. The two of you would spend hours in the water while talking and exploring the surroundings.

﹒　⁺ Rafayel would talk with you in Lemurian, he adores giving you compliments and flirting with you in your native language, nothing is sweeter than that in his mind. It's especially useful whenever gossiping or when he needs to complain about someone in secret, or whenever he wants to give you notes that only you would be able to read and no one else.

﹒　⁺ Rafayel would give you matching items, clothes, anything - just to get a point across that you are his and he is yours because you bet he won't have some mere human trying to lay their hands on you. He would be more possessive than normally even if he knew he didn't need to be, Lemurians are extremely loyal after all, they live for love so he’s confident that you wouldn’t leave him.

﹒　⁺ Rafayel would love to paint you. You are his muse, his reason for living, his perfect partner, his lovely bride, of course he wants to capture your essence in a painting and immortalise your beauty and personality on a canvas. There would be a ton of sculptures, paintings, sketches either of you or inspired by you and he would do his best to preserve them, just to make historians question in years to come of who was the wonderful woman that looked like a goddess, adorned in traditional Lemurian clothes pictured in so many forms of art.

[nymphaea-blue]

This made me tear up a little ^^, Rafayel would be the best lover I'm sure, as an art student I can say that we don't see "imperfections" as imperfections, they are just another wonderful detail to study, to add to portrait someone truly and he understands that.

You flit between dreams. Images pass before your closed eyelids in a serene blur. The ocean's waves crashing against the shore, the smell of sea salt circling in the air, a familiar laugh ringing in your ears and wrapping around you like a warm blanket. However this sweet dream doesn’t last forever. A sudden creeping sensation steals you from dreamland and your eyes begin to flutter open. Fingers brush against your bare skin in mesmerising patterns. The sensation is accompanied by a quiet humming, the melody is familiar and weaves through the air like an ancient lullaby. A sleepy smile tugs at your lips and you move to roll over only for a warm hand to grip your waist. 

“Don’t move. You’ll ruin my masterpiece.”

You huff out an amused laugh and turn your head over your shoulder to catch a glimpse of lavender hair.

“What are you painting this time?”

“Guess.” You can hear the playful lilt in his voice as he continues to drag his slender fingers along your back, creating swirling shapes and patterns. Rafayel had developed a habit recently. He rather enjoyed using you as his canvas. Whether it be drawing scribbles on you in a sharpie, doing your makeup for you or tracing images with his fingers. He loved it all. You were his muse, his inspiration, his greatest treasure. He couldn’t help but want to decorate your beautiful soft skin. Sometimes you’d even catch him signing his signature. You’d often pretend to be annoyed by it and tell him to use this creativity for a real painting before Thomas blows a blood vessel. But despite that you never made any attempt to stop him. 

“Is it… a seashell?” You ask as you close your eyes, trying to imagine the shapes he’s tracing in your mind's eye. Sweeping curls and tangled lines amongst a mess of other things. 

“Wrong.”

“A dolphin?”

“Not even close.”

You let out an annoyed huff and open your eyes, giving up on your little guessing game. His fingers trace the last few lines along the curve of your spine before you feel the familiar streaks of his signature. You move to roll over again and this time he doesn’t stop you. You’re greeted by those round, pinkish blue eyes looking down at you, twinkling with mirth. The morning sun illuminates his face in soft, golden hues making him more ethereal than usual.

“What was it?”

His pink lips quirk upwards in a teasing smirk as he twirls a strand of your hair around his finger. His eyes linger for a moment, admiring the way the sun makes the colour more vibrant than usual. He wonders how he could create a paint that perfectly matches it. 

“Your messy bed head.”

The answer takes you off guard and you let out an offended scoff mixed with a laugh as you playfully smack his chest. 

“My what?” His own laughter follows, filling the air with its sweet melody as he gently catches your wrist and brings it to his lips. “I’m not sure whether to be flattered or offended.”

“You didn’t let me finish.” He mumbles against your wrist as he peppers kisses along your skin. “I love your bed head. Every curve and tangle is a reflection of you. The way you toss and turn in your sleep. The way you snore. The way you try to steal all the blankets.” His smile grows wider with every word, his voice filled with utter adoration as he drops your wrist to play with your hair. “You’re my chaotic little masterpiece.”

You slowly soften as he speaks. Your chest blooms with warmth and it rises to your cheeks. You thought you understood love once but then Rafayel came barreling into your life and suddenly the word love had an entirely new meaning to you. He loved you so honestly and so deeply. He etched your name into the fabric of his soul and devoted himself to you completely. To be loved by an artist is to be loved like most people can only ever dream of. They see you like nobody else can. Every fold, every wrinkle and imperfection was perfect in its own way. Because they were you. And that’s what made them beautiful.

Valentine's day with Love and Deepspace boys

Info : 1k+ word count, fluff, reader is female, possible inaccurate lore mentions

Notes : I decided to make it as if the reader helped organize some of it as well, something about boys making all the plans will come for White Day! Happy Valentine's Day my loves <3

Rafayel

﹒　⁺ What he gave you : flowers and seashells, a trip overseas, a small painting of you

﹒　⁺ What you gave him : books about art, ocean themed accessories, painting supplies, a badly drawn copy of My Little Mermaid but it’s him instead of Ariel, a trip to a pottery studio.

Rafayel planned this in advance since he wanted this to be classy and romantic but he was so focused on the painting he almost forgot to pick you up for the date.

He loved all your gifts! The accessories you got him were often a part of his outfits and decor in the studio <3 And he had lots of fun in the pottery as well, he was much better than you but he never once made fun of you for it and actually helped you when you asked so you wouldn't feel too bad about your lack of experience. Your wonderful creations are on his nightstand now and he promised to take you to the pottery studio again so you can learn from him.

The entire day, which was planned mostly by him, was very peaceful and romantic! He booked a plane to take you two overseas, the location was beautiful and private. The day was mostly spent by making wonderful memories and enjoying yourselves, no pressure or responsibilities on your back, just the pure love you two felt for each other. Rafayel, despite being playful, was a true gentleman and took care of you the entire time, ensuring your comfort and safety but he showered you with affection even more than usual.

Zayne

﹒　⁺ What he gave you : a full bouquet of flowers, makeup, a date in your favourite cafe, tickets to a standup.

﹒　⁺ What you gave him : medicine books, new equipment (segregators, key holder, cute pens), a “best doctor” mug, trip to the ice ring.

Zayne planned this weeks ago and he made sure to take this day off in advance, even going as far as rescheduling any possible surgeries earlier so he wouldn’t need to worry about his patients.

He enjoyed your gifts and he used them all in his office! His coworkers questioned it at first when they saw Dr.Zayne use cutesy appliances but they soon figured out it was a gift from you and it was very wholesome. Zayne was pretty bad at ice skating at first but he got the hang of it and he made sure to stay close to you as well to help you, the last thing you needed was a medical emergency on such day after all.

During the date, the two of you enjoyed lots of shared desserts and laughs during the day. It was romantic, simple but it showed his feelings about you more than anything could. He was more touchy than usual, guiding you with a hand on your back and more frequent kisses, even in public. It was the day of love after all, it didn’t hurt to show more affection and he wanted to make sure you understand his feelings about you.

Xavier

﹒　⁺ What he gave you : matching star themed accessories, trip to the cinema, walk in the nearby park

﹒　⁺ What you gave him : “A Couple's Guide to Baking” book, a heated blanket, comics, stargazing.

Xaviers plan was simple, but effective. It didn’t need to be showy and expensive in his opinion, he just wanted to spend the time with the most important person in his world - you. The memories that formed after that day were the best gifts in his opinion.

The gifts were amazing, the heated blanket made his naps much more comfortable but it also made him harder to reach with how often he ended up falling asleep with it. The two of you tried baking as well and the cupcakes weren’t pretty, but they did come out edible! You found a gorgeous location for stargazing and decided to take Xavier with you, it was a simple activity but he loved it.

Valentines day was a success, though he did almost fall asleep during the movie but you both laughed about it. Later on, he took you on a walk to a nearby park which was so beautiful and it was peaceful as well. The lights following the trail made this whole night very romantic and aesthetic. Many conversations and kisses were shared during the entire time.

Sylus

﹒　⁺ What he gave you : lots of flowers, makeup, dinner at a restaurant, trip to a nearby city, jewelry, dresses, new hunter gear and much, much more..

﹒　⁺ What you gave him : decor for his room, music vinyls, a connected bracelet that responses to your touch so he can tell when you miss him <33, booked dancing lessons for couples.

Oh he planned it alright. Months in advance in fact, and it was worth it. You told him he didn’t have to plan anything big,especially since there was another holiday in a few months but he told you that it was nonsense and he has enough money to spoil you for both occasions. 

Sylus loved the gifts! Especially the music vinyl and the bracelet, it made him feel very connected to you which he always loves. The decor for the room, though not much in his style, brough your presence to the mansion and he couldn’t be happier to see you be more comfortable in the shared space. The dancing lessons were hilarious, he had such a hard time but it was funny and you tried to help him as much as possible, though you did start seeing slight improvement later on.

The date was amazing of course. He booked out an entire restaurant and picked a table with the best view so the entire night was amazing. You were absolutely showered with gifts when he came to pick you up, everything from custom made dresses, to new makeup and jewelry that probably costs way more than an entire year worth of your paycheck. Outside of the gifts, he showered you with affection as well, his eyes almost never left your face and it was clear how much he treasures you just by the look in his eyes.
