She’s like a rainbow

(Marko x Fem black reader)

Authors Note: Guys I’m so sorry this took forever. I got distracted and started other fics while also getting hooked on the Predator franchise. Anyways, enough about alien lizards, please enjoy and I will gladly accept helpful critiques because this writing is for you guys and you deserve nothing but the best

Warnings: mentions of hookups and killing.

She comes in colours ev'rywhere

She combs her hair

She's like a rainbow

Coming, colours in the air

Oh, everywhere

She comes in colours

Have you seen her dressed in blue?

Marko can still remember the first night he ever saw you. You, the most celestial woman he had ever seen in all of his immortal life…

What drew him to you originally was the sound of your laughter, so loud and carefree, but it flowed through the crowd of the boardwalk like water on a hot day. Marko had been doing his own thing that night, leaving the others to their own devices. It was the same old thing each night, fuck around, feed, party, and then crash until he got to do it all over again. He didn’t mind it too much, but he felt as though something was missing in his eternal life. Marko had his pigeons, his sketchbooks, and paintings that kept him occupied when he was just itching to do something more. Yes, he could have nighttime flings, but they were all just the same: a girl or guy wanting a little bit of fun before they went back to their normal human lives. It made Marko so frustrated to the point of killing just for the hell of it.

But then he heard you laugh, and it was as if you had completely ensnared him by that alone. When he saw you, his blue eyes widened at just how…prominent you were. You were wearing a blue tank top, the neckline showing off your dark skin and collarbones, and denim shorts. It was as if the midday sky was draped across your body and even tinting your eyes. Marko hadn’t seen blue eyeshadow since the eighties, but you were wearing it with blue eyeliner as well. You looked as if you owned the color blue, and it nearly made his undead heart begin to beat again for the first time in over a century.

He had to talk to you.

He watched you from a distance, observing how carefree and…well, how beautiful you were. Your face was like sculpted marble, soft around your bones, showing structure and good health. Your eyes sparkled with the lights of the rides and boardwalk, like his favorite cup of coffee, but only sweeter. His blue eyes were glued to your face, admiring the carefully hidden acne scars from your youth, catching the scent of your facial lotion as the wind blew.

God, he loved being a vampire. If he weren’t, he wouldn't be able to see you or smell you this good. When you walked past him, not paying him any mind, he nearly got up to follow you, but he just watched as you talked with your friends, no doubt talking about what you all wanted to do. It only took a couple of minutes before two of your friends went to try out the games, and three of your other friends wanted to have classic boardwalk food. That left you by yourself, or so you thought.

When you began to walk around the boardwalk, Marko followed a few paces behind you, making sure no one bothered you or harassed you. Thankfully, everyone was minding their own business, and you walked into a small pop-up store. Marko waited a few moments until he walked in, shoulders rolled back, head held high, and his hands in his pockets. You were looking at bracelets and anklets, looking at the different types of metal and beading.

Perfect.

Marko walked over near you, pretending to look at the earrings. He didn’t want to seem too obvious because he didn’t want to scare you off. He wanted this to be perfect, and he was thinking of the best thing to say that would grab your attention.

“So, you’re just gonna follow me and not say anything?”

You questioned, looking over your shoulder as your hand hung a bracelet back up on the display. Shit, you had caught on to him. Marko was briefly taken aback by your voice, not expecting the coolness of it. A few of your braids fell over your shoulder, cascading down your back. It was then he caught a glimpse of some jewelry in your braids, gold, the perfect match with the blue of your outfit and makeup.

Marko turned around with a semi-defeated sigh, his blue eyes landing on your dark brown eyes. He had to be calm and not scare you off, wanting nothing but to talk to you for hours and admire you.

“Sorry, I’ve just never seen anyone as seraphic as you before.”

Marko admitted, deciding to be honest but suave with his first words to you. His eyes softened as he saw the way your eyebrow quirked up in curiosity, your body finally turning to face him fully. Your eyes trailed over his frame, looking at what he was wearing and how he was carrying himself.

Marko could smell your hesitance like a freshly blown-out candle, and he let his shoulders relax, his hands coming out of the pockets of his jacket. A subtle way of telling you that he wasn’t going to hurt you. Marko wouldn’t even dream of laying a finger on you in malice, let alone without your permission. After you got done checking him out, you let out a soft hum, just looking at his face.

“You’ve got a nice style. Not a lot of people are bold these days.”

You remarked, the tone of your voice casual. If Marko could blush, his face would be as red as a ruby. He smiled, glancing down at the ground like a schoolboy before he looked back up at you, feeling so unnaturally bashful in your presence.

“Thanks. You’ve got good style too. I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone pull blue off as well as you do. You’re like a blue orchid but much prettier.”

Marko said, complimenting you with ease. He felt the warmth of satisfaction bloom in his chest as your full lips, shiny with lip gloss, turned up into a smile. You liked what he said…oh, how he could go crazy at the fact that he got you to smile.

Your hand came up, fingers messing with your braids, and the jewelry in your braids softly clinking together. You bit your lip and glanced out to the front of the shop, checking to see if any of your friends were out there. When you didn’t spot them, you turned back to Marko, that sweet smile staying on your face,

“Well then, if that's the case, you wanna help me pick out a bracelet?”

You asked, motioning towards the display of bracelets and the anklets. Marko smirked at your question and took a few steps over to the bracelet table, his blue eyes looking over the different assortments on the table. You stood right next to Marko, watching him with that smile, curious about what he would pick out.

His gloved hand extended, his fingers wrapping around a jade green bracelet, a flower, and a leaf charm next together. There were small beads of fake jade on the bracelet, giving it a somewhat retro look. Marko carefully eyed the bracelet before turning to face you, gently showing it to you in the palm of his leather gloves.

“You would look good in this shade of green. Jade green or maybe a forest green. Either way, you should get this one.”

Marko said, letting you take the bracelet from him. You looked over the bracelet, putting it on to see if it would fit well, before taking it off and holding it between your fingers, looking back at Marko.

“What's your name?”

“Marko. You?”

Marko answered, listening as you told him your name. He said it mentally, and he knew that he'd never tire of hearing it. You held the bracelet in your hands as you walked over to the cashier to buy the bracelet. Marko wished he could’ve bought it for you, but you didn’t seem to care. He followed you as you walked out of the store, watching as you slipped the bracelet on and admired it.

The coastal wind blew around both of you, and Marko could smell your perfume, something floral with a mix of some fruit. It was better than anything he had ever smelled. As you turned around to look at Marko, he looked over your face, anticipating your next words.

“So, Marko…can I get your number?”

You asked, something stirring in your chest. It felt like curiosity but also like need. A need to see him again and to get to know him. You couldn’t figure out why you wanted to see him again, but there was just something in the way he spoke to you, looked at you, and respected you. Marko’s smirk grew into a full-blown smile, making him look like a glimpse of the sun. He eagerly pulled out his phone, a cracked thing that could use a few repairs, but it seemed to work just fine.

You pulled out your phone, and both of you exchanged numbers. Marko felt like a king right now, knowing he could message you and call you whenever he liked.

“Am I going to see you again?”

Marko asked, his blue eyes drinking you in as the moonlight shone on your dark skin.

“Yeah, you’ll see me again. How about tomorrow?”

“Tomorrow is great.”

Marko said too quickly, embarrassingly quickly. It made you laugh at how quickly he answered your question. There it was again, your laugh, like churchbells on a calm Sunday morning. Marko nearly laughed with you, but he just let out a small, amused huff, biting his lip as your laughter died down.

“Tomorrow it is then, Marko.”

You said before turning around and disappearing into the sea of people on the boardwalk. The urge to go after you was so strong, but Marko knew he had to be patient. But for now, he could think of you, remember the way you talked, the way your smile just tugged at his heartstrings, and the sound of your laughter. It would be such a perfect way to spend the rest of his night.

Have you seen a lady fairer?

Writing Tips

Punctuating Dialogue

✧

➸ “This is a sentence.”

➸ “This is a sentence with a dialogue tag at the end,” she said.

➸ “This,” he said, “is a sentence split by a dialogue tag.”

➸ “This is a sentence,” she said. “This is a new sentence. New sentences are capitalized.”

➸ “This is a sentence followed by an action.” He stood. “They are separate sentences because he did not speak by standing.”

➸ She said, “Use a comma to introduce dialogue. The quote is capitalized when the dialogue tag is at the beginning.”

➸ “Use a comma when a dialogue tag follows a quote,” he said.

“Unless there is a question mark?” she asked.

“Or an exclamation point!” he answered. “The dialogue tag still remains uncapitalized because it’s not truly the end of the sentence.”

➸ “Periods and commas should be inside closing quotations.”

➸ “Hey!” she shouted, “Sometimes exclamation points are inside quotations.”

However, if it’s not dialogue exclamation points can also be “outside”!

➸ “Does this apply to question marks too?” he asked.

If it’s not dialogue, can question marks be “outside”? (Yes, they can.)

➸ “This applies to dashes too. Inside quotations dashes typically express—“

“Interruption” — but there are situations dashes may be outside.

➸ “You’ll notice that exclamation marks, question marks, and dashes do not have a comma after them. Ellipses don’t have a comma after them either…” she said.

➸ “My teacher said, ‘Use single quotation marks when quoting within dialogue.’”

➸ “Use paragraph breaks to indicate a new speaker,” he said.

“The readers will know it’s someone else speaking.”

➸ “If it’s the same speaker but different paragraph, keep the closing quotation off.

“This shows it’s the same character continuing to speak.”

HOW TO WRITE A CHARACTER WHO IS IN PAIN

first thing you might want to consider: is the pain mental or physical?

if it’s physical, what type of pain is it causing? — sharp pain, white-hot pain, acute pain, dull ache, throbbing pain, chronic pain, neuropathic pain (typically caused by nerve damage), etc

if it’s mental, what is the reason your character is in pain? — grief, heartbreak, betrayal, anger, hopelessness, fear and anxiety, etc

because your character will react differently to different types of pain

PHYSICAL PAIN

sharp and white-hot pain may cause a character to grit their teeth, scream, moan, twist their body. their skin may appear pale, eyes red-rimmed and sunken with layers of sweat covering their forehead. they may have tears in their eyes (and the tears may feel hot), but they don’t necessarily have to always be crying.

acute pain may be similar to sharp and white-hot pain; acute pain is sudden and urgent and often comes without a warning, so your character may experience a hitched breathing where they suddenly stop what they’re doing and clench their hand at the spot where it hurts with widened eyes and open mouth (like they’re gasping for air).

dull ache and throbbing pain can result in your character wanting to lay down and close their eyes. if it’s a headache, they may ask for the lights to be turned off and they may be less responsive, in the sense that they’d rather not engage in any activity or conversation and they’d rather be left alone. they may make a soft whimper from their throat from time to time, depends on their personality (if they don’t mind others seeing their discomfort, they may whimper. but if your character doesn’t like anyone seeing them in a not-so-strong state, chances are they won’t make any sound, they might even pretend like they’re fine by continuing with their normal routine, and they may or may not end up throwing up or fainting).

if your character experience chronic pain, their pain will not go away (unlike any other illnesses or injuries where the pain stops after the person is healed) so they can feel all these types of sharp pain shooting through their body. there can also be soreness and stiffness around some specific spots, and it will affect their life. so your character will be lucky if they have caretakers in their life. but are they stubborn? do they accept help from others or do they like to pretend like they’re fine in front of everybody until their body can’t take it anymore and so they can no longer pretend?

neuropathic pain or nerve pain will have your character feeling these senses of burning, shooting and stabbing sensation, and the pain can come very suddenly and without any warning — think of it as an electric shock that causes through your character’s body all of a sudden. your character may yelp or gasp in shock, how they react may vary depends on the severity of the pain and how long it lasts.

EMOTIONAL PAIN

grief can make your character shut themself off from their friends and the world in general. or they can also lash out at anyone who tries to comfort them. (five states of grief: denial, anger, bargaining, depression and eventual acceptance.)

heartbreak — your character might want to lock themself in a room, anywhere where they are unseen. or they may want to pretend that everything’s fine, that they’re not hurt. until they break down.

betrayal can leave a character with confusion, the feelings of ‘what went wrong?’, so it’s understandable if your character blames themself at first, that maybe it’s their fault because they’ve somehow done something wrong somewhere that caused the other character to betray them. what comes after confusion may be anger. your character can be angry at the person who betrayed them and at themself, after they think they’ve done something wrong that resulted in them being betrayed, they may also be angry at themself next for ‘falling’ for the lies and for ‘being fooled’. so yes, betrayal can leave your character with the hatred that’s directed towards the character who betrayed them and themself. whether or not your character can ‘move on and forgive’ is up to you.

there are several ways a character can react to anger; they can simply lash out, break things, scream and yell, or they can also go complete silent. no shouting, no thrashing the place. they can sit alone in silence and they may cry. anger does make people cry. it mostly won’t be anything like ‘ugly sobbing’ but your character’s eyes can be bloodshot, red-rimmed and there will be tears, only that there won’t be any sobbing in most cases.

hopelessness can be a very valid reason for it, if you want your character to do something reckless or stupid. most people will do anything if they’re desperate enough. so if you want your character to run into a burning building, jump in front of a bullet, or confess their love to their archenemy in front of all their friends, hopelessness is always a valid reason. there’s no ‘out of character’ if they are hopeless and are desperate enough.

fear and anxiety. your character may be trembling, their hands may be shaky. they may lose their appetite. they may be sweaty and/or bouncing their feet. they may have a panic attack if it’s severe enough.

and I think that’s it for now! feel free to add anything I may have forgotten to mention here!

Hi there! 💚 I was wondering if I could request -just in time for the holidays - maybe a cute piece (head canons or even a one-shot ) if David x Reader for the Christmas season and what that would entail? 🥰 thank you so much - I love your writing!

Hello! Thank you so much for your kind words and sorry that this took a while!

David x gn! Reader and the Holiday Season.

The holiday season was always pleasant with David. He tried to be festive but it took almost all of his strength to be festive with you during this time of year. To him, it was just another month where it got colder and tourists were scarcer.

But you were happy, and he did love seeing you happy. Your smile lit up the room and your laugh warmed his cold body. God, he loved seeing you during the holiday season.

The season began with you excitedly bursting into the cave with decorations and the like. He and the boys were still asleep when you showed up. That didn’t stop you from decorating the cave.

The others were happy about it but David was a little irked because “This is our lair kitten, not some Hallmark movie.”

You didn’t care, that still didn’t stop you from doing more things with and for David.

The first thing you two did together was bake little holiday treats together. It was mainly you cooking the treats but David was right by your side to let you know that everything you made was fantastic.

He ate everything and you had to bake things a second time.

Afterwards, you two snuggled in your bed and you told him about all the different things you wanted to do for the holidays.

He was reluctant about most of them but when he saw your face get upset, he eventually agreed

You wanted a bonfire? He’ll make you the biggest bonfire he can (its up to you to figure out what the fuel is)

You want to go to the local mall and take a picture with santa? Okay, but you’re going to sit on his lap, not the big mans.

Do you need help wrapping gifts for family and friends? He’ll show you his tricks with wrapping paper!

Once he gets into the groove of it, he’ll be more than happy to do things with you. After all, he just wants to see you happy.

He would never admit it but his favorite thing to do with you is have you cuddle him on the couch with all the lights off and the only lights on are the Christmas tree lights. The glow of the glass bulbs makes him nostalgic. He’ll keep the lights on most of the night and just hold you as you sleep.

He may be a few decades old and be an extreme grump who doesn’t like to do things, but he loves doing things with you. He loves making new memories and traditions with you, even if he doesn’t want to do them at first.

Anemic love

(David x GN! Reader)

Authors Note: howdy howdy my chickens, please enjoy this anemia fueled love story. I didn’t like writing this story because halfway through writing this I found out I was anemic. I’m also afraid of blood so that added to the unpleasantness. Anyways enjoy

Warnings: blood, blood drinking, blood tasting, and blood consumption.

“Just breathe and relax like we talked about, okay?” David whispered from behind you.

“Okay.” you replied, sighing. He pressed a gentle kiss to your neck and his stubble tickled you. His thumb gently rubbed your side in reassurance.

He had been wanting to do this for some time. It took you a while to come around to the idea but slowly you thought about how it would be a good bonding moment. He was always remarking about how drinking blood from you would bring you two closer as partners. Well, he never used that word. He always called you his mate for some strange reason.

Taking in a deep breath, you anticipated the feeling of his fangs. He promised that it wouldn’t hurt but then again, he was going to literally puncture you and drink your blood.

“Calm down, I can hear your heartrate increasing.” He murmured into your neck.

“Sorry, I’m nervous.” You responded.

“Do you want me to try the other thing we talked about?” David asked, hands moving to wrap around your midsection. You sighed at the rising anticipation in your chest.

“I don’t know, maybe?” you said, throwing your head back onto his shoulder in slight frustration.

“It’s your call kitten. I just want you to relax.” He said, giving a quick kiss to side of your jaw.

The other thing that David had brought up, was him using his vampiric powers on you. The main one being his ability to calm and relax you. He did bring it up one of the first few times he tried to talk you into letting him drink from you. It would be easier and less stressful than trying to convince yourself that everything wouldn’t hurt.

“Okay, yeah lets do the other thing too.” You said with an exasperated sigh.

“Alright, take another deep breath.” David said, moving one hand to your chest while keeping one arm wrapped around you. Your hands moved to rest ontop of his arm as you took in a deep breath and exhaled. Within a few seconds, the feeling of relaxation rushed over your entire body. Your eyelids fluttered for a brief moment as your body sunk into Davids.

“I got you baby.” He whispered against your neck.

Then, you felt it. The feeling of his fangs as they punctured your skin. You winced and made a small noise of discomfort as the pain settled around where he bit you. As soon as the pain started, it was gone. Your body was warm and you felt so relaxed. You could see why David wanted to do this.

Speaking of David, his tranquil face soon contorted into something else, it wasn’t his vampiric face, it was the look of disgust. He tried to bare with the taste of your blood but not even a minute after he bit you, he pulled away with a groan.

“Kitten..jesus you taste awful.” David said with disgust, lacing his voice. You didn’t know whether to be offended or concerned. However, the use of his power on you still rendered you very… relaxed.

“Excuse me?” You asked slowly.

“You heard me, you taste awful” David retorted as you moved your head to meet his gaze.

You were met with the sight of your blood around his mouth and a very disgruntled looking boyfriend. Glancing at his fangs, you shuffled a bit to try and look more at him. “Kitten are you sick or something?” he asked, looking at where he bit you.

“No, I think I know if I was coming down with something.” you drawled, resting your forehead on David's chest, the effect of his power still keeping you tranquil and sedated.

“Okay…okay let me get you more comfortable.” David said, beginning to get lost in thought. His arms re wrapped his arms around you and in a show of vampiric strength, he lifted you bridal style as he stood up from his seated position on the floor. You nuzzled into Davids chest as a whine escaped you at being moved from your comfortable position.

Moving swiftly across the cave, David went to the general area where the other boys had been horsing around with another. Carefully, he laid you down on the couch and checked you over.

“Is everything okay?” Dwayne asked from the fountain. Paul and Marko stopped whatever they were doing to look over at your sluggish form. The three vampires all looked over with curious and concerned looks.

“Yeah, it’s just my powers. I used it on them to keep them from getting too squirelly.” David replied, moving the pillow underneath your head to keep your head elevated.

“That doesn’t explain the blood all over your mouth.” Marko said with a smirk. Paul laughed as Dwayne began to sniff the air. David glared at him before wiping some of the blood off of his chin and turned his attention back to you

Dwayne moved from his spot and walked closer to the two of you and kept sniffing the air.

“Something doesn’t smell right.” Dwayne stated, looking towards David.

“It might be this.” David replied, pointing to his mouth.

There was still some blood around his mouth and a little on his chin. Dwayne reached a hand out and used his thumb to wipe away some blood. He sniffed his thumb before tasting it. His face scrunched up in dissatisfaction and he blinked for a few moments.

“David, theyre anemic.” Dwayne said, “That’s why its so…watery.”

Your eyes looked over to the two of them as Dwayne announced your malady.

“Nuh-uh, I would’ve known if I was.” you said, rolling onto your side, avoiding the looks of the others.

“Oh man, I once tasted an anemic person and they tasted so bad that I just had to bail.” Paul said, moving closer to David and Dwayne. His face scrunched up slightly too as he smelled your blood.

David looked at you with an blank expression and sighed, “Kitten…why didn’t you tell me?” he asked dejectedly.

You turned back over and shrugged, “How was I supposed to know?” you asked.

David huffed as Dwayne moved over some old shelves and grabbed a blanket.

“We’ll talk about it another time, I can tell you’re exhausted.” David said dejectedly, grabbing the blanket from Dwayne as he handed it to him. Gently, he laid it across your form and sat at the end of the couch. He pulled your legs onto his lap before grabbing his box of cigarettes out of his jacket. David kept his eyes on you as you mumbled something about not feeling tired. As soon as you said it, you fell asleep.

Light my fire

David x gender neutral! Reader

A/N: hey babes, eat up. I got another David fic cooking

David had never felt this way before. Of course there were numerous times where he saw a person on the boardwalk and wanted them, but no one ever made him flustered the way you did.

It all started one night when the summer was starting to end. The boardwalk was extremely packed with people trying to live it up or bring their families on vacation before August rolled around. David and the boys were at their usual spot. Scoping the sea of faces around them had become second nature at this point with how often they did it when they didn’t have much to talk about.

Paul and Marko were idly chatting about the many different people who they wanted to “have fun” with. Dwayne had left with Laddie earlier to go play some games much to Davids chagrin.

He just didn’t feel content in the moment to sit and stare at the many gawkers that passed him by. So, he parked his bike and pulled out a cigarette.

“I’m going for a walk, keep an eye out will ya?” He said, motioning towards his bike. Marko and Paul replied quickly before going back to their conversation. In the blink of an eye, David had dived into the sea of people, completely submerging himself in it.

He wandered around for a bit, not really going in a specific direction. He looked at the crowd around him and noticed a few new pop up shops that hadn’t been there in the past few days. He waltzed over to what looked like a small jewlery store and just looked. The jewlery was silver macabre creations. Skeletons, knives, ruby for blood, and a necklace that mimicked a vampire bite. He smirked and let out a chuckle at the jewlery. It looked tacky to him.

Deciding he had seen enough, he turned and walked away from the odd trinkets. He paused for a moment, grabbing the cigarette that was behind his ear. He put it in his mouth and searched for his lighter. He checked his pants but it wasnt there. Odd, he never really misplaced it. After checking his coat pockets, he realized he didn’t have his lighter at all. Damn, he really wanted a smoke right now.

“Need a light cowboy?” a voice asked with the click of a lighter.

David turned and looked at the owner of the voice and was met with you. He was taken aback by your frame and kind face.

“Cowboy?” He asked quietly.

“Well, you’ve got spurs on your boots. I figured you must be a cowboy.” you responded, holding out your lighter to light his cigarette.

No one had ever lit Davids cigarettes before. Not even one of the boys.

David pause and when you took your lighter away, once you deemed the cigarette lit, he took a drag of it and stared at you.

You had a kind smile on your face and David could tell it was genuine. If he could blush, he would be doing so right now.

“Well, I’m not a cowboy anymore.” David said with a smirk, eyeing you up and down.

You must’ve taken notice that he was eyeing you because you blushed and David felt pride in making you blush.

“Whats your name? I don’t think I’ve seen you around the town before.” David asked, taking another drag of his cigarette, the smoke swirling around the two of you.

You gave him your name and he played with it in his head.

“Nice name.” He responded.

“Whats yours?” You asked, a glimmer of curiosity in your eyes.

“David.” He answered a little coldly.

You didn’t seem taken aback by his cold demeanor. In fact, it seemed to make you more drawn to him. Abruptly, a group of people walked out of the store that you two were standing next to.

“Hey! There you are, we were getting worried” a short woman said, coming up to you with a few bags draped on her arms.

He continued to smoke as you smiled and turned your attention towards the group of people. It irked him a little bit to no longer be what drew your attention.

David realized these people must’ve been your friend group and you didn’t go with them into the other shops. He observed you as you spoke with your friends and discussed what to do with them. He tossed his cigarette on the ground and stomped it out as you turned back to him.

“Sorry about that David.” You said, offering an apologetic smile. David smiled in return.

“Don’t worry about it.” He replied, putting his hands in his coat pockets.

“We’re uh, we’re about to leave the boardwalk. Will I see you again?” You asked, hope lacing your voice.

David grinned down at your frame, “If you come back to the boardwalk then yeah, you will see me again.”

“Alright then. I'll see you later cowboy.” You said, turning away from him and walking away with your group of friends.

David stood there and watched you as you walked away, never taking his eyes off of you as you disappeared into the night.

He wanted to follow you and take your hand and show you the night time world. David had never felt so flustered over a human before. He just had to have you

How he holds you

(Lost boys x gender neutral reader headcanons)

Warnings: Marko being a lil cheeky

Authors note: heeeyy chickens, long time no see♡I transferred to university and I have little to no time to write stuff like this anymore. Buut since it’s October, I gotta do my fav boys

David

-David doesn’t really hold you per say. You more or less cling and hold on to him.

-He doesn’t like seeming too vulnerable or soft when in public. Especially while on the boardwalk and the surf nazis are out and about

-However, if you’re standing next to him, he will casually put his hand on the back of yours. Theres something about his palm resting on your hand that just makes him feel content

-When you two are in the cave and hes sitting in his chair or on the couch, he always beckons you to sit on his lap. While you’re on his lap, he’ll snake his arm around your back and rest his hand on your thigh or butt.

-While he says its to “keep hold of what's his” it’s also so your back isnt digging into the metal of his wheelchair.

-It’s old and rusty and he doesnt really want you to be squirming cause it’s hurting your skin

-Some nights when the two of you are alone or you had a bad day, he lets you lay on his chest while he lays down on the couch.

-Your hands fall to his chest and his arms will wrap around you to keep you pressed comfortably against him.

-Even though his heart no longer beats, you swear you sometimes hear faint thumps when you mumble how much you love him into his chest

-Overall 6/10 cause he only holds you back every few weeks.

Dwayne

-Dwayne isn’t afraid to wrap an arm around your waist or hips while in public. It’s his way of showing people that you’re his partner and to keep you close to him

-He’ll sometimes put his fingers through your belt loops

-When meeting up in public, he’ll loosely wrap his arms around your hips while giving you a kiss. When meeting you in private, like at your house, he will actually give you a decent hug

-I like to think that Dwayne will link pinkies with you while walking around the boardwalk sometimes. He thinks it’s really sweet.

-When you two are in the cave, he’ll come up behind you and snake his arms around you and rest his head on your shoulder. His stubble tends to tickle your neck a bit

-he might take in a big inhale of your scent

-When you two cuddle, hes pulling you so close to him that you’re practically smothering him

-He loves it

-His hands will move all over the place. Your back, hips, thighs, butt, maybe one in your hair

-If you fall asleep, hes on cloud 9. He’ll most likely move you both into a small nest spot in the cave and either fall asleep with you or stay awake to watch you sleep. If you guys are at your place, he watches over you while you sleep.

-10/10 cause his cuddles are top notch

Paul

-Paul can’t keep his hands to himself so hes holding you all the damn time.

-Had a bad day? Let him hold you, he wants to make you feel better

-Theres a puddle on the ground? He’ll carry you over it

-Yikes babe, your shoe is untied, guess he’s gotta hold you so you don’t trip

-Yeah, hes very touchy

-Out on the boardwalk he loves to hold your hands. Like, he hates having to let go of your hand if you have to do something.

-Heaven forbid you want to eat or need to sneeze

-On the occasions where he takes you flying with him, he keeps you so close to him. He would never drop you but theres been a few times where you slipped from his grasp and it spooked you. So, he’ll have an iron grip on you while flying over the ocean or Santa Carla

-If you’re ever with him when he’s having a smoke sesh, he goes to maximum handsyness. God help you if you need to pee

-Like Dwayne, his hands are going everywhere, but hes gripping you as if you’re going to float away.

-He loves keeping you close because you’re so warm against his cold body. His cold hands will slip under your shirt and move around. He’s not trying to tickle you, he just loves how warm your back is.

-9.5/10 because his hands are cold as hell

Marko

-Marko’s not as handsy as the others

-Once in a blue moon, Marko lets you wrap your arms around him and he will envelop you in his jacket. It’s warm and it’s a really rare soft moment with him. It only happens when you forget a jacket and you’re both on the boardwalk and it’s freezing. Surprisingly, hes warm because of how thick his jacket is

-However, he mostly keeps a hand in your back pocket or he’ll pinch your butt. If hes showing you something, he takes your hand to lead you.

-Thats about as far as it goes in public.

-However, in private, it is a totally different scene

-He likes to hold you from behind. He sneaks up and wraps his arms around you while shoving his face into your hair

-He’ll only do this when no one is around. He does not want the others to see him like this.

-He does like to cuddle with you. He’s the big spoon and youre always the little spoon

-The feeling of your body expanding while breathing tends to calm him down since he easily gets wound up.

-While spooning you, he’ll lean forward just a bit to kiss you on the cheek. He will also sometimes entwine your hands and kiss the back of your hand.

-He warms up underneath the covers with you.

-Moments like that remind him that it’s okay to be relaxed with others

-I give him a 7/10

hesitant love prompts

+ accommodating love interest dialogue :)) feel free to use <3

“how many times do i have to tell you you can trust me?”

“what can i get you? do you need water? a hug? space?”

“i’m sorry. i just don’t think i’m ready.” “don’t apologize. it’s okay.”

“i think i’m ready.”

“thank you for being patient.” “you never have to thank me for that.”

“are you frustrated with me?” “never.”

“i just don’t want to be hurt again.” “i understand.”

“can you give me a second? i need a moment.”

“don’t apologize.” “sorry.” “name.”

“it’s okay. take your time.”

“if you tell me you want me to leave i’m gone, okay? don’t ever feel like you can’t take a break from me.”

when the love interest first asks them out and they’re like i’m really sorry but no… but the love interest doesn’t mind

“would you like to go on a date?” “i could do a date.”
