A little bit about me
Hello there! Welcome to my blog. I hope you enjoy it here. Everyone is welcome.
Here are some things about me that you might (or not) find interesting:
Things I love: cats, books, crocheting, writing, reading, Jason Grace, Draco Malfoy, fanfictions, science, music, eating...and more, I just can't think of anything else
Things I don't like: mean people, when authors don't proofread their writing, salmon, my brother's keyboard playing...just to name a few things.
I am currently a sophomore in college studying to be a medical laboratory scientist. My job will be to perform blood tests and stuff like that. I'm not going to be taking your blood, however; that is a phlebotomist. I'm just running tests on your samples.
I love being in a lab! I would live in my microbiology lab. Except for the fact that no food is allowed. I need to eat, so I guess the science building in general at my college is the next best thing.
Another thing I don't like: my mind. I have several "issues", including (but not limited to) anxiety, depression, adhd, and PNES, and they suck. However, they make you who you are. So you just have to learn to live with them. It's not easy, but you can do it!
I'm always here, so feel free to message me!
I post about the things I listed in my likes above: stay tuned!
Please be kind to people
Peace

#Adele stops by the show tonight, which means I’ve had to emotionally prepare by crying into a throw pillow while drinking tea and revisiting every bad decision I’ve ever made.
Also in the mix: Dionne Warwick (divine), Dusty Springfield (iconic), Run the Jewels (chaotic good), Kraftwerk (the robots we do trust), Yeah Yeah Yeahs (they still got it), Fiona Apple (still better than all of us), brand new Grace Potter, and the theme from Dexter’s Laboratory because I contain multitudes.
6p ET. WFPK. Bring tissues and safety goggles.

One of my favorite Sanji headcanon's is that he has the best sea legs of the crew, tied w/ Jimbei after he joins. But he also absolutely has the WORST land legs when they make landfall.
I think this because, prior to Kamabakka, the longest period he spent on actual land seems to be starving on a rock with Zeff.
I totally buy that Germa likely had some sort of stabilizing tech on their snails, definitely in medical and engineering areas. You need a measure of stability in your evil laboratory.
But any ocean-going vessel does need to actually move with the sea. Otherwise, it won't move at all. So, I think other areas were less stabilized.
Thus, Sanji went from weird snails that swim the seas, to cruise ship, to trauma rock, to a restaurant ship before joining the Straw Hats. Moving on a ship likely feels more natural to him than on land.
I think he has trained himself to adjust pretty quickly, as a necessity, and also because the Mosshead definitely would call it out. But even still, his first few steps on any island are not as graceful as his usual stride.
Okay, ramble done.

Dr. Stone: One-shot.
Word Count:7,858.
Warnings: Not much I can think of, except it's all over the place, and a bit suggestive towards the middle. I needed a quick break from a book I'm writing and these two freaks have been plaguing my mind, so this is basically just word dumping.
Summary: Nothing is really set, some parts are over-explained and others are barely developed, I typed until I got bored. (If you're seeing this again it's because I accidentally posted earlier without finishing aha..)
Pairing: Stanley x Fem!Reader x Xeno
Edit: part 2.
︽❀═══❀═══⌘═══⌘═══❀═══❀═══⌘═══⌘═══❀═══❀︾
Endless hours of science had never been an issue for Xeno, he was accustomed to working on the same project for multiple days—even months straight. Science (and Stanley) was his sole love, it wasn't filled with unsolvable scenarios, it always had a solution. His nights at the NASA laboratory were lonely, just how he liked it. No noise, no meaningless chatter, only him and his thoughts.
Stanley wasn't much different in this regard, obviously not science, but his priority in the military (and Xeno). Guiding those bambi-like soldiers brought a thrill like no other, they shot perfectly? It was because of him. They landed a really good calculated punch? Also his doing. He was always expected to be at the top, and no way in hell would he ever let anyone distract him from it.
It wasn't until they met [Y/N], the newest addition to the NASA board, that they discovered another love and priority. She wasn't what they had expected at all, [Y/N] wasn't a scientist or an exceptional engineer, nothing even close to any position they offered at NASA. It only took a few days to find out she was only there as a temporary chair filler, for her father who was out of commission due to a "family issue".
Xeno grimaced as the bubbly [H/C] haired girl, read over his file alongside the other board members. He could barely hold in his anger as they skimmed over his perfectly chosen words, equations and unique idea. One by one, the thick file was placed down and he was met by taunting expressions.
"It's interesting I'll give you that Dr. Xeno, however we can't endorse it. The cost of the inevitable failure will be far too much."
The older generation spewed more words onto the already rejected scientist, yet he could only focus on the girl still holding his file open.
"I don't know much about this position, my father asked me out of the blue to show my presence." [Y/N] hummed and softly closed the file cover, a small—yet mischievous smile graced her glossy lips. "But, he did say I could have fun, and this?" She lifted up his idea and waved it around, "This sounds fun! Let's do it."
"You have no authority to do so!" The voice was loud and rough, it bounced off the soundproof walls and [Y/N] tried hard not to show her annoyance.
"Woah~ I wonder what my father would say hearing you talk to his daughter like that, Dr. Von." She playfully waved him off, keeping eye contact with the blank scientist in front of her.
"If he fails the first, second or even third time, I'll cover the cost. When he gets it right, none of you will have the privilege of profiting a single dollar. How about that?"
Oh how she loved playing around with these greedy corrupt monsters.
As for Stanley, his encounter with [Y/N] wasn't as nerve-wracking as it was for Xeno. No, it was absolutely entertaining to say the least.
The blonde puffed out another trail of smoke, his eyes glanced to the side to see the sprawled mess of [H/C] locks on the bar counter. He hadn't even considered sitting down for this long, but something quietly begged him to sit next to the seemingly tipsy woman.
Her head lifted up to meet his amused gaze, he twitched noticing tears flooding her pretty [E/C] colored eyes. A finger was pointed at his face, close to jabbing his nose. Stanley couldn't help but smile at how silly she looked right now.
"G-get away from me before I do you a favor b-because you're cute!" Her voice came out stumbling and mumbled, he managed to catch onto every single word due to his good hearing.
"Like what?" He teased, playfully twirling a strand of her hair while she failed to push his hand away.
"Like agreeing to pay for your experiments!" Her finger finally managed to boop his nose, "My dad is gonna kill me when I write the $600,000 check, not once but maybe even thrice! All because he was so cute, that stupid cute looking Dr. X."
Oh. Stanley's eyes widened with recognition, his childhood friend had been happily rambling on about his fully funded project, he tuned out the nerdy details and only paid attention when Xeno brought up that it was all thanks to a temporary board member. [Y/N], her name was [Y/N]. There was no way he could forget it, that mad scientist had practically engraved the name into his mind with how many times he mumbled it.
"It's not even about the money actually, but how could I ever say no to him? And you—!" She sighed dramatically, moving her hand away from his gorgeous face. "Don't you dare propose anything!"
He couldn't help but let out a chuckle at her cute rambling, he had to agree wholeheartedly. "Don't worry, I can't say no to him either."
"IS HE YOUR BOYFRIEND? I'M SORRY BUT HE'S SO CUTE I WON'T TAKE IT BACK!" [Y/N] lunged forward grabbing ahold of his shoulders and shook him back and forth, the tears that had disappeared moments ago were spilling again.
Stanley grabbed her elbows gently, stopping her movement. A meek apology left her pouting lips as she settled into her seat, [Y/N] tried to flag down the bartender, desperately needing a shot to down her embarrassment. The man next to her shook his head at the girl behind the counter, she nodded taking away the dirty cups.
"Let's get you home."
After getting her address he made sure her seatbelt was on before driving off, his window rolled down letting the smoke drift out the car. The cigarette dangled from his lips, a hand on the steering wheel while the other guided the cancer stick.
[Y/N] softly snored into the seat, holding onto a pillow she had stolen taken from one of the sofas at the bar. Stanley tried to take it away, god knows what or who touched it prior. He failed miserably, a little ticked off but low-key proud of her deadly grip.
Dropping her off was awkward, nothing Stanley couldn't handle. Still, he was not used to dropping off people he met at bars anywhere other than his own apartment. Her dad managed to wake her up, guiding her back into the grand mansion.
"Thank you for helping her, she gets carried away sometimes." He laughed it off, but couldn't hide the worry in his voice.
"No problem."
"noooo~ dad! Don't let the pretty man leave!" [Y/N] turned around in her dad's arms and made grabby hands towards a humored blonde, her [E/C] eyes were wide filled entirely with sparkles, a small bambi is what she looked like.
She had definitely become his favorite bambi.
︽❀═══❀═══⌘═══⌘═══❀═══❀═══⌘═══⌘═══❀═══❀︾
[Y/N] entered the NASA laboratory looking for a certain white haired male, while she had practically forced the board to accept his crazy idea, they needed to skim over a few details before proceeding. Except she hadn't expected both of the different worlds she met yesterday to be standing closely together watching small sparks emit from a glass container.
"Ah, how elegant of you to join us, [Y/N]." She brushed off her heart skipping a beat, the way his voice uttered her name was heavenly.
After remembering last night, she was absolutely mortified. Not only did she ramble to a total stranger, she rambled about their boyfriend! The blonde man hadn't denied or confirmed their relationship, but when her eyes trailed over how tightly he was hugging the scientist with a gentle expression on his face, there was no denying it.
"Yeah, Hi." She squeaked out, walking towards them almost robotically. [Y/N] placed down her notebook and sat on the grey stool, face warming up when Stanley rubbed his cheek against Xeno's affectionately before pulling away.
"I need to know which parts you need, these old assholes decided to leave everything to me as punishment." She huffed, eyes softening before looking at a stone-faced Xeno. "Don't look at me like that! I never said i regretted it or anything."
"I was only joking, dear." He sent her a smile, starting to disassemble the small experiment he had shown Stanley. [Y/N] couldn't help but admire how the sleeves of his white lab coat were rolled up showing off his arms, sure he wasn't super built but it stirred something in her. Her hand slowly raised up to hide her mouth, annoyed at how attractive these two men were.
"Hangover?"
"Huh? Oh, no. You stopped me before I could teeter into that hell."
"I've been wondering, what exactly is it that you do, [Y/N]?" Xeno finished up wiping down the counter and threw away the towels before sitting directly in front of her. His head rested against his hand, elbow propped on the counter.
She noticed the way he crossed his legs too, how could a man look so hot just sitting there? [Y/N] cleared her throat, fidgeting in her seat as she felt both pairs of eyes staring at her intently.
"I'm a medical student, well I was..." A sigh left her lips, "I'm taking a gap year." They didn't press her for further answers, seeing how she made no move to add more details.
"So you're going to be your old man's stand-in for a year?"
"Basically." She chuckled remembering the words her father had given her, "He specifically asked me to annoy the hell out of the board members by doing whatever it is I wanted. Apparently he was fed up with good projects being denied while he wasn't present."
Xeno did remember Dr. [L/N] giving him proper feedback on why they couldn't and could do certain projects of his, he was a man he respected.
"I really have no clue what I'm doing Xeno, so please don't hand me a file filled with a world-ending plan."
"Why, you wouldn't deny it?"
Oh.
Oh.
"NO YOU DID NOT!" [Y/N] stood up quickly, the stool fell to the ground with a loud 'clank'. Her face was beet red trying her best to glare down at the duo smiling at her with nothing but amusement dancing in their eyes.
"Did what? Tell Xeno how you found him cute and that's why you couldn't say no to him? No, I didn't—oh wait." Stanley turned his face away from them and slid open the window to bring out a cigarette.
"If it makes you feel any better, that's news to me."
He was definitely playing with her, the smile on his face hadn't faltered in the slightest. This bastard was having fun.
"Why would that make me fe—just fill that out!" [Y/N] pushed her notebook towards the scientist and stomped out the room extremely flustered.
"So, what do you think?" Stanley exhaled while turning to see Xeno curiously looking at the door she had left through.
"An elegant possibility."
A few months had passed and before they knew it, hanging around the laboratory had become the new normal. Stanley by the window, Xeno playing around with chemicals (and settling very, very far away from the cancer smoke, he didn't need anything blowing up.) and [Y/N] getting distracted by the cool colors the mixtures made.
"Stop staring and get back to studying, bambi."
Bambi. Stanley's oh so 'perfect' nickname for her, she tried to get him to drop the name for weeks but he refused to budge. It bothered her only because of what it represented, a defenseless and cute thing. Only she was allowed to call them cute.
[Y/N] mocked his words under her breath with a high pitch voice, focusing on her medical notes scribbled and highlighted. Even if she was taking a year off to help her dad, there wasn't any time to slack off. Board meetings were so goddamn boring, she couldn't even hide the sparkles that bounced around in her [E/C] eyes whenever Xeno came into a meeting with a progress report or new idea.
"By the way, you guys never answered me. Are you dating?"
They barely reacted to the question, still focusing on their own activities. She didn't know why exactly she craved and feared for their answer, [Y/N] was undoubtedly attracted to them both equally.
Xeno's happy little face while info dumping on them, onyx eyes that lit up whenever she'd ask a question genuinely intrigued by the topic. Stanley, who always teased her but never crossed the line. He knew when to back away and change his words depending on how she was feeling that day, his awareness towards both her and Xeno was...to say the least...hot.
[Y/N] stopped writing, a blush taking over her face when she noticed Xeno peeking over the counter to read her notes. Her heart dropped into her stomach hearing his laugh, she was not going to live this down, was she?
"Inflammation of the myocardium, a great percentage of high risk patients are usually men in their 20 to 40's. Men, men, stanxeno."
"STOP READING IT!"
The medical student was too focused on trying to block Xeno's field of view to notice Stanley walking up to them, he leaned over her shoulder to stare down at the notebook. His face slightly bumped into hers and gave zero indication that he planned on moving.
She knew he could feel her warm cheek pressed against his, Xeno smirked leaning even more forward over the metal table. His face was only inches away from hers, they were messing with her, again.
[Y/N] swallowed the knot building up in her throat, she was deeply embarrassed. Her thoughts on them were running wild from the close proximity of both men, she slammed her book closed—still not moving away from them.
"Why so curious, bambi?"
"Is there a deeper reasoning to your question, dear?"
God the nicknames, how could she ever function like a proper human after hearing the way they called her? She always felt giddy whenever they'd do this, invading her privacy with lingering touches and words falling like sweet honey—but she couldn't ignore the small, teeny tiny part of her that felt as if they were just playing around. To relish in her obvious attraction towards them, something she miserably failed at hiding.
"Am I imposing on your quality time together by always being here?"
[Y/N] was as surprised as Xeno and Stanley, that isn't what she was even thinking at the moment! Why'd she go and say it? Sure she thought of it sometimes but never had the courage to ask, what if they said yes? She'd never be able to meet their eyes again.
A few seconds of silence were starting to scare her, she felt Stanley shift, thinking he was pulling away until warm lips pressed again her cheek softly. Her [E/C] eyes widened keeping eye contact with Xeno, who raised a hand to brush a strand of [H/C] hair behind her ear. They both pulled away at the same time, leaving a stuttering [Y/N] to collect her thoughts that were in shambles.
Her fingers lightly pressed against her cheeks, one where the kiss was placed and the other where Xeno's fingers brushed by. She took a hand away, blush intensifying seeing the purple lipstick staining her fingers. [Y/N] took a deep breath in before looking up at them standing next to each other now, brain melting when Stanley wrapped an arm around the scientist, Xeno caressing the blonde's face as they both continued to stare at her.
"We've never labeled it, it's like an open relationship."
The girl in front of them deflated comically like a balloon, face almost slamming onto the table. Nope, all her dreams and fantasies had been drained at that sentence. She liked-liked them, both. An open relationship meant their loyalty lied emotionally between them but not physically, she couldn't work with that. The faces they were giving her stirred nothing but worry within, almost like an invitation to join them on this little adventure.
[Y/N] badly wanted to scream yes! and take the opportunity they were offering on a silver platter, sure it'd be okay at first...however in the long run she knew jealousy would win her over. They wouldn't be hers they'd still see other people while being with her, and the [H/C] haired girl wouldn't be able to emotionally endure it.
"I see."
"You sound disappointed, dear." Their little show melted away, awkwardly glancing at each other when they noticed her flustered state disappear into a neutral expression.
She sighed lightly, might as well try and get over her feelings now rather than letting them grow further. Her fingers twirled the mechanical pencil as a way to fidget, building up the courage to spill her words.
"I like you both." Their faces didn't change in the slightest, they knew already. "As much as my heart is telling me to leap at the offer, my brain is encouraging me to step away before I hurt myself."
[Y/N] started to pack her things, avoiding their eyes. Oh my god, she was going to jump off the fucking NASA rooftop after this. She didn't want to keep talking but it felt like word vomit.
"I'm interested in a relationship with just us three, having other people linger in-between would make me feel like I'm not good enough for you guys." She zipped the backpack and hugged it close to her chest, hiding the bottom half of her face. "Thank you for today." [Y/N] rushed a polite bow and made her way to the door.
Before she could even grab the handle, a hand landed on her head, it turned her to come face to face with Stanley. She couldn't muster up the courage to ask what he was doing, but she didn't even have time to. His lips landed on hers, an arm wrapped around her waist colliding her into his chest and in turn causing the backpack to slip from her arms.
A few tears built up as she indulged the blonde, his lips were soft, avoiding rushing her. It only took a few milliseconds for [Y/N] to return the kiss, lips parting and allowing him to slip in his tongue. She'd never kissed anyone like this, it left her feeling vulnerable, like her heart was on her sleeve.
Her hands cupped his face with a gentle grip, she wondered if his body hurt bending down slightly to kiss her. [Y/N]'s lips slipped from his, only to get pulled back in quickly. Xeno took this opportunity to stand behind her and nuzzle his face into her neck, unbuttoning her white collared shirt and slipping it down from one of her shoulders.
His own lips made a trail from her jawline down to her neck and across her bare shoulder. One of the hands on Stanley's face was moved back to come in contact with Xeno's. He cupped over her hand with his own and continued to pepper kisses on her [S/C] skin, a whimper was muffled.
The tears finally escaped her eyes, trailing down her face. The droplets landed on both men, they pulled away from her still holding [Y/N] close.
"D-don't do that!" She unenergetically hit Stanley's chest, "Don't give me false hope.." her sniffles echoed lightly in the laboratory, she was flooded by nothing but embarrassment.
"Let's do it." The blonde ignored her weak fists against him and wiped away her tears, Xeno gently turned her head to place a chaste kiss against her swollen lips.
"Just us three, right my dear?"
[Y/N] woke up the next morning feeling like she was on top of the world and still drowning in shyness. Her face was stuffed into a pillow, concealing her squeals. She kicked her feet roughly, leaving her personal maid to hide her smile behind a hand.
"Ruby, I'm so happy I could dieeeee."
"Please don't, Miss [Y/N]."
Ruby had never seen [Y/N] this giddy, she was absolutely over the moon. Her trip down memory lane was cut short when the loud sound of the girl in her care falling reached her ears, she hurriedly walked around the bed to see the mistress still letting out happy noises.
"I'm going on a date with them! Help me pick out the best outfit Ruby!" It was barely noon on a sunday, NASA had issued a full day off to every employee, why? She didn't care to listen for the reason, her ears were preoccupied hearing Xeno and Stan plan a date.
"Them? Are they gender neutral?" Ruby caught all the clothing being thrown out the closet, doing her best in the thick maid outfit she always had inside the manor.
"Huh? Oh, no, them. As in, two." The poor maid couldn't even dodge the shoe thrown her way, hitting her square in the forehead and falling back.
"Shit! Ruby I'm so sorry!" [Y/N] frantically bounced around the dizzy woman, Ruby blinked her hazel eyes twice before settling them onto the worried rich girl.
"How will your father react?"
haha...oh,
"I didn't think of that."
Her father sent her to NASA to fuck around with the board members, not fuck with employees! Well technically Stanley was only there during his free time, but still! She couldn't go up to him and say, 'Hey dad! I managed to piss the old dudes off, and I got myself not one, but two boyfriends!'
World end her now.
︽❀═══❀═══⌘═══⌘═══❀═══❀═══⌘═══⌘═══❀═══❀︾
"Oh my gosh!" [Y/N]'s body was over Xeno's shoulder, face a few inches away from his screen. Unfortunately Stanley was too busy to come by for the week, so it left the mad scientist and the medical student to hang out together.
Xeno held a firm hand on her midsection, holding [Y/N] up to the best of his ability. He was in the middle of responding to his mentee, completely immersed in the lengthy email consisting of rocket science, when [E/C] eyes landed on the picture of the white and green haired boy holding a test rocket.
"He's so cute!" She poked the screen, ignoring the English gibberish of science littered around the zoomed-in picture. "He's like a mini you."
"[Y/N] dear, you're crushing me." She apologized and got off of him, scooting her chair closer and settling next to him. He smiled feeling her shoulder bump into his and stay there, [Y/N] had been a little reserved with her physical contact towards them but after two solid month of dating she'd gotten comfortable and extremely cocky.
Xeno didn't mind it, he felt pride knowing she felt lucky to have him, even if he felt like him and Stanley hit the jackpot instead. The blonde usually tuned him out during his rambles, that didn't bother him in the slightest, Stan listened when it was important and that was good enough for him. [Y/N] on the other hand, indulged him quiet often, even if she didn't understand most words and comparisons, her questions and interest made his heart fill with a warm feeling.
"I still can't believe an elementary kid built a rocket, that actually went up in the air..." Her childhood was filled with music up until she picked up a book about hearts in her big library, at the mere age of eight she completely spent her time studying. To acquire the ability to help as many people as she could, sparked something she couldn't understand. Xeno tried to explain the feeling in his usual science-y way and she got lost along the words.
"He's from Japan, reading and writing these emails using an English dictionary. Senku's efforts are quite elegant."
"Devoted little thing isn't he? I wanna meet him and pinch his chubby cheeks." She cooed once again at the picture, whining when Xeno clicked off of it and continued scrolling through the information.
"Fawning over a different scientist is—" He didn't even get to finish his sentence before his face was being quickly peppered with light kisses, from his forehead to his cheeks, to his nose and finally his lips. [Y/N] pulled away and snuggled back into his side, leaving him with enough space to type away at the keyboard.
Xeno didn't continue speaking, trying to fight the light red on his face before she could glimpse at it. She effortlessly achieved flustering him on multiple occasions, something Stan regularly tried—and failed at. If he knew, he'd never let Xeno forget it.
"That part, isn't it like $10k? How is a kid going to get that?" Xeno smirked adding a picture of said part, a machinery she had to purchase multiple times because he kept exploding it. [Y/N] grabbed her phone and used a currency exchanger to see the total in yen, ¥1.5 million.
"A true scientist finds a way."
"Seriously? Tell him to send you his address!" Xeno's eye twitched as his girlfriend pulled out a checkbook, scribbling a big number obscured to him. "I'll set up a card for him, hmm but can he buy stuff in dollars while he's in Japan?" She tapped the pen against her chin.
"Oh! I'll just make it an online account so he can order the parts instead." The scientist didn't even try to interfere, knowing full well rich people just thought differently from the rest. He finished up writing his email and added a small note at the bottom.
'P.S, you'll be receiving an email from [L/N]_@NASA.×∆×.com.'
Senku had read an article about [Dad Name] [L/N], a genius who built one of the strongest rockets recorded in history. He was excited to receive some sort of mentorship from the older man, sure Dr. X was plenty of help, but more couldn't hurt.
The boy had just come back from school, eagerly rushing towards his computer ignoring Byakuya's yelling for him to go eat. He skimmed through his emails, first reading an update from his mentor then his eyes sparkled seeing the anticipated email appear at the top of his inbox.
'Hi! Here's an account with around 10 million yen, it's in American currency so you'll have to order online. Have fun, oh! And make sure to send more pictures.'
Bank of America details:
User: [Y/N]Senkufund
Pw: adorablesenkufund223
Love, [Y/N].
...
...
What the hell? The entire email was littered with heart symbols. Adorable? Who was this [Y/N] weirdo? Despite his suspicion, the email address checked out with what Dr. X mentioned. He opened a new window tab and went to the bank website, typing in the details. His scarlet eyes lit up with ¥ signs, he could get past the creepy message if it meant he could buy the parts he needed. It was temporary until his dad managed to be an astronaut an get his very own NASA card.
Senku typed out a hasty thank you, his mouse hovered hesitantly on the add image option. He had taken a new one just recently with Taiju included, it was them covered in ash from a mild explosion, should he send it? He glanced at the money this person sent, well it wouldn't hurt to do it once right?
He was startled at how fast the reply had come. He didn't bother reading much of it, noticing the paragraph beginning with capitalized letters and once again, being plastered with hearts all over. The title itself was five red hearts.
Despite thinking it'd be one time exchange, this [Y/N] person toned it down after a few more exchanges. Senku had even looked forward to their little medical lessons, it was a type of science after all.
'So you weren't a complete oaf. Good to know, I was starting to doubt Dr. X.'
+Image attached
-Senku.
That offended [Y/N], how dare this little bok-choy looking kid doubt her boyfriend? The image sent made her forget his initial words, squealing at how cute the boy looked grumpily looking into the camera holding his latest science project he presented at his school fair.
'I know I promised no more hearts but you're too cute! ❤︎❤︎❤︎ Once I get married I'll adopt you.❤︎❤︎❤︎❤︎❤︎❤︎❤︎
Love, [Y/N]❤︎'
-
'Already adopted, and who would even marry you?'
-Senku.
The little gremlin chuckled, slurping his ramen. The sound of a new inbox and Senku choking on his food filled the room. He blinked frantically at the response.
'First of all, I'd win the court case if i wanted.
As for marriage, it's going to be your dear Dr. X and someone else, obviously~
Love, [Y/N].'
Senku could only focus on his mentor being in cahoots with this mental case, he was definitely going take the logical route and avoid taking this path.
︽❀═══❀═══⌘═══⌘═══❀═══❀═══⌘═══⌘═══❀═══❀︾
[Y/N] groaned into Stanley's chest, body feeling extremely sore. She had jokingly encouraged her blonde boyfriend to teach her how to shoot a gun, that turned into a full blown training regiment he made. It included physical training and he even body slammed her! (very carefully, but not the point.)
The mixed smell from his earlier cigarette and cologne filled her nostrils, at first it did tickle her nose, now she was used to it and even longed for it throughout her days. She could cope at work when Xeno was around, still, having the blonde away from them felt like an eternity.
"Did you learn anything?" He was amused by the sounds she was making, he held her in his arms, his fingers lightly tracing patterns on her back.
It wasn't until his girlfriend slept over for the first time that he and Xeno found out she slept with a long T-shirt and her underwear, obviously now she constantly stole their shirts, sometimes finding them back in the closet with a cute gloss lipstick stain. Stanley was guilty of doing this himself, with purple of course.
After starting an established relationship between this little doctor in the making and his childhood friend, both men agreed to get their own apartment together. [Y/N] mentioned wanting to stay with her dad while he was usually at home now, planning to move in with them after the year passes.
"Yes, three things."
"Hm?"
"That you look really fucking hot when you're drenched in sweat." She snuggled closer into him, blushing when his hand gripper her hip in response. "You look even hotter holding a gun, and...when you uh..." her words were low and muffled.
Stanley heard them loud and clear, mumbling like that only worked with Xeno. He smirked flipping their bodies over, her legs were wrapped around his hips due to the startle he gave her. [Y/N]'s blush intensified when the blonde caged both her hands above her head, his free hand performing a 'tactile exploration' near her inner thighs. The pads of his fingers left lingering tingles on her skin, a gasp flying past her lips when they made contact with her clothed clit.
"When I had you at my mercy, huh?" Repeating her words with a teasing tone, Stanley leaned forward while pulling her shirt up above her bra. His purple lipstick left marks on her cleavage before slowly descending down her stomach, hips and lastly a quick kiss on her underwear.
"Stan.."
"[Y/N].." He mimicked her breathless tone, annoying her and barely avoiding the knee she raised to his face. They stayed in that position gazing into each other's eyes, her [E/C] irises relaxed significantly. [Y/N] lowered her knee and settled it around him again, the heels of her feet slightly digging into his back pushing him lower onto her.
Stanley release his grip on her hands and welcomed the embrace, allowing his head to rest between where her neck and shoulder met. [Y/N]'s fingers tangled into his slightly long blonde hair, massaging his scalp.
The sound of keys jingling and the front door opening made them both glance a their bedroom door, silently waiting for the person to walk in. Xeno came in loosening his tie and dragged it down, showing off a bit of his collarbone. He sent them a tired smile and walked towards the closet, unbuttoning the rest of his shirt and slipping it off.
"Did you see that, Stan? Him and ties.."
"He never lets us take it off for him."
"Because it always ends up in sex."
Xeno finally slipped on more comfortable clothing, folding his lab coat and setting it in the laundry basket. He walked towards the bed, immediately getting pulled into a hug. His stress melted away as his partners cooed him gently, the new position consisted of Stanley slightly propped up by two pillows, followed by [Y/N] resting her back against him and finally Xeno's face squished into her chest. Arms wrapped around each other in any way possible.
"They held you up for so long, is everything okay?"
"The board was trying to convince me to swap sponsors, my project is estimated to bring a huge revenue." The laugh leaving his girlfriend causes his body to move up and down alongside her chest, he huffed a chuckle in response.
Stanley reached over to massage Xeno's tense shoulders, watching the scientist groan happily in response. No further words were exchanged, all three relished in comfort.
︽❀═══❀═══⌘═══⌘═══❀═══❀═══⌘═══⌘═══❀═══❀︾
A happy [Y/N] bounced down the halls of the NASA building, eventually making it down to the break room where a lot of employees gathered to eat or talk together.
She no longer wore a work outfit, her year was up and now was fully focused on her career (for the most part). Most of them didn't know who she was, except one present man who always greeted her every morning she came in.
"Good morning [Y/N]!" Byakuya greeted her with a bright smile, [Y/N] turned to gaze at the newest addition to NASA. Despite only being there for a month or so, he'd become a friendly face. He opened the shared fridge, chuckling when she put a black plastic container with a cute heart-shaped note on it inside.
"Your boyfriend sure is a lucky guy." The older man raised an eyebrow when he caught glimpse of another lunch inside her backpack, she didn't react to him noticing nor did she try to hide it.
[Y/N] wasn't aware of his concerned gaze, thinking solely on how late Xeno would be getting home today. She had made an earlier stop at the laboratory for a quick kiss and was sadly sent on her way right after. A sigh left her lips, she turned to look at Byakuya who now held a tight lipped smile—an eyebrow raised at his changed expression.
"Yeah he is, well I'll see you later Byakuya, I have to go drop off lunch for my boyfriend." [Y/N] waved making her way to the door.
"Bye [Y/N]—" the door closed, "wait, what?"
He turned to look at his coworkers who shrugged in response, why did he have to witness or hear this? He didn't want drama, but letting someone string along a fellow coworker felt harsh and guilt overwhelmed him. Byakuya opened the fridge to glance at the note.
'YOU BETTER EAT IT XENO.
Love you, [Y/N]❤︎''
Xeno, Xeno, that Xeno? He had seen him very few times, the scientist spent 90% of his time cooped up in the laboratory. Woah, never would he had expected the serious white haired male to be dating such a cheery person. That thought brought down his mood, how should he bring it up?
Byakuya didn't get much time to think it over, seeing the man clouding his mind walk into the break room and head straight over to the coffee pot. His thermal cup was black and littered with colorful stickers, he noticed they resembled the shape of hearts [Y/N] always drew.
"[Y/N]?"
Xeno noticed the finger pointing at his cup, a huff of amusement left his lips before nodding. "She insisted on it, mumbling something about marking territory."
"I hope I don't offend you, uh—" His voice froze when the scientist turned to give him his full attention, head slightly tilting and encouraging him to continue. "Ithink[Y/N]isseeingsomeoneelseotherthanyou!"
"Is that right?" Xeno quickly took a sip of coffee, a perfect way to hide his smirk and compose himself. "How un-elegant, say, Byakuya right? Would it be too much to ask if you could find out for me? Lately I've been stuck at work, leaving almost no room to speak to my partner."
...
...
"WHAT!? BYAKUYA WHAT DO YOU TAKE ME FOR!?"
After a solid week of being ticked off by the older man's squinting gazes, and always asking her about her earlier or later whereabouts, [Y/N] finally had enough and cornered him once everyone left the room, he was sweating bullets when she asked what was wrong. The glint in her [E/C] eyes scared him like nothing else.
To which in a state of panic, he replied with a rushed "ARE YOU CHEATING ON THAT SCIENTIST?"
"Ah! I'm sorry but i couldn't ignore the signs! And when I asked Xeno, he asked me to figure it out for him."
"Oh that motherfucker," [Y/N] made a strangling motion with her hands, scaring the poor man in front of her. "Xeno and I have another partner okay! I'm not a cheater."
The amount of apologies that spilled from Byakuya were starting to overwhelm her, tears threatening to spill out as his body flung back and forth in a fast bowing motion. She awkwardly pat his shoulder, accepting his apology. From an outside perspective she guess it did look suspicious, Xeno was going to pay for this.
"Don't listen to that disney villain, he may look serious but he's a mischievous little thing."
"H-have I met them?" His attempt to change the conversation topic was easily received, her aura took a complete turn into a gushy looking fangirl.
"You've probably seen him around Xeno, he's a soldier. Tall, blonde, pretty face, caramel eyes, wears purple lipstick, hot, always smoking, did I say hot already?" She rambled a few more compliments before clearing her throat.
"His name is Stanley, Xeno and him were technically together before they met me."
"How does it work? I'm curious, a relationship with one person is sometimes very complicated, I can't wrap my head around three people in one."
That is how Byakuya had become her gossip buddy, how she frequently chatted up a storm while balancing her focus onto her studying, always astonished him.
The following night had the polyamorous couple sitting at their small dinning table, the girl sat in the middle while both men sat at the ends of the table—still close enough to each other though.
"You let him think I was a common whore!" [Y/N] angrily shoved a spoonful of rice into her mouth, cheeks puffed out and [E/C] eyes glaring into Xeno's soul. He couldn't take her seriously, to him she looked like a squirrel right now.
"Stan, tell him something." Her eyes were wide, sending a pleading face to her soldier boyfriend, he playfully ruffled her hair before turning towards the amused man.
"Bad Xeno."
"I'm going to choke you fuckers."
"Oh? sounds like a threat."
"That's right!"
"Would it perhaps be happening in the bedroom?"
[Y/N] stopped. Stanley stopped. Hell even Xeno's eyebrow raised at his own words, he wasn't one for sexual desires, usually leaving it up to his partners to decide and act it out. He smiled down at a [Y/N] who scooted closer to him with no traces of her earlier fake anger, she looked like a curious kid.
"Did you mean that?" she whispered, truly wondering if she heard him wrong.
"Shall we find out?" [Y/N] glanced back at Stanley who only shrugged in response, he didn't know what was happening either.
"Ok, you're forgiven." She snatched up the plates and the cup in the blonde's hand, practically throwing them into the sink. "Bedroom now."
"I think you awakened something within her." Stanley stood up and pushed his chair in, making eye contact with a sweat dropping Xeno.
"How...elegant.."
(He was scared.)
︽❀═══❀═══⌘═══⌘═══❀═══❀═══⌘═══⌘═══❀═══❀︾
The soft light of the candles decorating the dining table made her [S/C] skin glow, she blinked curiously as her boyfriends of nearly three years now stood in front of her. They quickly shared a glance then nodded, they both dug into their suit pockets and each took out a small velvet colored box.
Her [E/C] eyes filled with tears when they opened them, in Stanley's box laid a beautiful ring with a honey colored gem shaped like a diamond. Xeno's was the same size and shape, but his had a black diamond.
"[Y/N], when we first met—"
"YES! YES I WILL!" She extended her hand out, eyes closed and sporting a huge smile on her face. Hearty laughs reached her ears as she felt the rings slip onto her finger, a hand brushed away the tears on her face.
She opened her eyes to see them holding out two more rings, this one had a gem with the same color as her eyes. Xeno and Stanley held out their own hands, already wearing each other's colors. [Y/N] softly slid her ring right above the other, quickly taking out her phone to take a picture of their hands.
"I love you both." The [H/C] haired girl sniffled as they brought her into a sandwiched hug, their own confessions tickling her ears. To say she was happy was an understatement, she felt a bit bad not letting them pop the question in their own way—however her eagerness had won over her rational thinking.
It was a bit unfortunate they couldn't legally get married, despite this minor thing, she happily gushed about her husbands to anyone who asked about her rings. Some were understandably confused or amazed, [Y/N] defended her relationship with every fiber of her being no matter what comment was thrown at them. Both guys often told her to ignore it like they do, but it made her mad how people had the balls to question them so rudely at times.
"My baby is all grown up!" [D/N] wiped his tears away with a handkerchief, Ruby providing a new one every few moments.
"We celebrated on our own already, but I remember you made me promise to let you plan my future wedding." [Y/N] gave her dad a bright smile, "So go for it."
"Of course darling, it's time to show everyone how my daughter is the only one who could bag two successful men at once."
"Okay, where in the world did you hear that term?"
"From this app called tweeter, people are very funny there. [Cousin's name] got it on my phone."
"Delete it and go back to reading your nerdy articles."
The wedding ceremony was held in her old home's gigantic backyard and it was absolutely beautiful, the gleeful bride was chatting away with her bridesmaids, leaving both grooms to stand by the wine station. Stanley's fingers itched to hold a cigarette, although because he promised to avoid it for today, he was coping with wine—glass after glass.
From the red carpet leading up to the wedding arch, to the flowers on every table and grass, it all screamed money. Xeno's eyes lingered on the snack table, filled to the brim with expensive looking dishes ranging from caviar to weird looking oysters, and…were those golden flakes?
"Stop drinking like a madman, Stan."
The blonde could only smirk, leaning down to place a kiss on Xeno's cheek before pouring himself another glass. The scientist could only smile in return, his heart bloomed with pure warmth.
"Our wife looks quite elegant." She wore a white dress with a sweetheart neckline, fabric hugging her waist and hips tightly before flaring out near her mid thighs. Her veil was removed earlier by them, showing off her [H/C] hair styled perfectly into a bun with curly strands framing her face.
"Best part of today." Stanley's eyes softened up seeing [Y/N] making her way towards them, surprised when her cheek puffed out close to his face.
"You gave Xee one..."
Oh.
[Y/N] refused to clean up the dark purple lipstick, showing it off with every ounce of pride she could muster. After what felt like a billion pictures, she made a quick trip to her room and changed into a much lighter and shorter dress. It didn't take long for the girl to start stumbling in her heels thanks to downing five glasses of alcohol in a short span of time.
"I'm so happy, we're getting married!"
"Last time I saw her drunk was when we first met."
"Think she agreed to our proposal because we're cute?"
Stanley chuckled, "I wouldn't put it past her." they both watched her stuff her face with anything she came across with adoration in their eyes.
"Not going to dance my dear?" She gazed at the guests moving in sync with the slow song.
"We can dance in private later."
"You've gotten quite bold, bambi."
[Y/N] wiped away the sauce that stained her lips with a napkin, turning to look at them. "No offense hubbies, neither of you can dance. I'm saving you."
That didn't stop her from swaying around them, playfully twirling them as she bit into a cookie. They indulged her cute antics throughout the night, even having a few minutes of Stanley forcing Xeno into a very intimate dance of waltz. By the end of the celebration, both [Y/N] and Xeno were plastered with purple stains over their faces and neck.
Very few guests lingered, most had given their blessings and bid them a goodnight. They stayed in their own little bubble, the very annoying topic of a secret gathering they needed to attend in about a week came up. Strange appearances of stone swallows were being posted online, surprisingly Senku had been the one to post a full article on it, giving the scientists at NASA a bit more information.
[Y/N] was only attending because she was nosey, and no way she was going to spend a week of her honeymoon vacation alone. Even if it was work only, she'd sure as hell be next to them.
"Right after that stupid meeting, we're settling in our room and staying there forever!" Stanley gently took away the half empty glass from her hands, downing it himself to avoid her getting even more wasted.
"You'll get to meet that Dr. Chelsea girl you found adorable." Xeno knew exactly what to say to lighten up her mood.
[Y/N] brought their hands into her lap, squeezing both with a smile on her face. It had been a few days and still, she couldn't wrap her head around the fact that she was married to her soulmates.
"Tonight was amazing, we should do it again and again....we can, right?"
"We can."
︽❀═══❀═══⌘═══⌘═══❀═══❀═══⌘═══⌘═══❀═══❀︾
Xtra thing
"—god I miss my husband's blonde hair." [Y/N] had her body sprawled dramatically on the boat's floor, an amused Xeno sat nearby with his hands tied together.
"Wait, I thought you were married to this weird man." A blonde girl with blue eyes blinked at the whining woman, she was 100% sure [Y/N] mentioned "My husband's really smart huh?" while hugging Xeno.
"No way, she was talking about the other dude." Chrome nodded his head along with his words.
"Who hugs someone like that, while saying—well that!"
"A woman who has two husbands." Senku walked into the room, narrowly avoiding the hug sent his way. "This idiot managed to trick them into marriage."
"I did no such thing!" [Y/N] shoved her hand into the leek's face, showing off her glittering rings. Right before the beam reached them, she saw one of Luna's boy toys stuff a ring into his mouth—not having any time to rationally think, she did the same. Waking up and seeing her hubbies with nothing on their finger had her depressed for the first few months, until Xeno replicated them once again.
Before the teenager-not really a teenager anymore could untie the older scientist, his wrist was grabbed by the [H/C] haired doctor. His scarlet eyes filled with confusion.
"Leave his ass tied, not only did he issue a kill order on my child, he looks hot like this."
"I'm not your damned child."

The Titan's Second Life Clockwork is Kronos
What many people don’t know is that Kronos had always known most of the Time-lines. He played with Time, since he learned he had that power. 
The moment he first laid eyes on his newborn daughter, Hestia, he knew what would come next. The visions came to him just as he was about to eat her and seal her in his stomach. 
They showed him all the futures in fragments. Like the hands of a clock moving forward, he saw his life as Kronos - from that moment on, his other 5 children, his downfall, Rhea's betrayal, the war, and how he ended up in Tartarus with his body cut into thousands of pieces.
It was an inevitability written into the fabric of time and time itself. And as Titan of Time, he would know best.
Once he tried to fight his fate. In his paranoia, he had devoured his children in the desperate hope of stopping the cycle and the prophecy. But now he remembered.
Not just glimpses of the future, but memories of an entirely different existence - one he had had long after his fall on Grace, one that was beyond even the immortality of a Titan.
He also remembers his future, of being, Clockwork. An Ancient of Time, in his new home, the Ghost Zone. His Titan soul and body had been destroyed and rebuilt in this place, so that he hardly looked the same. He wasn't even sure if he was still the son of Earth and Sky as Clockwork.
And he remembered the young Halfa, the young Daniel Fenton/Phantom. 
Kronos allowed a small smile to creep across his face, remembering how he had reacted when he had learned who he really was while still alive.
Flashback
Danny hovered in front of Clockwork, staring at the Ancient Ghost with wide, skeptical eyes. "Huh? You're the King of Titans Kronos!" His voice was incredulous.  
Clockwork's ever-shifting form barely responded, the red glow of his eyes steady. "Yes, young Daniel. I was the Titan you read about in school."  
Danny gave a low whistle. "Wow... So you really were crazy!" He laughed and shook his head. "Wait-hold on. How much meat is on a baby god?"  
Clockwork tilted his head slightly, anticipating the question. "Why do you ask?"  
Danny shrugged. "I mean... if you really were the Titan, and Kronos ate his children and a stone, how come you never tried to eat me?"  
Clockwork's expression remained unreadable. "You have no flesh."  
Danny frowned. "And a baby god does?"  
Clockwork's grin was almost imperceptible. "Have you ever seen one?"  
Danny blinked. "No...?"  
"Trust me. They have more."  
Danny opened his mouth, then promptly closed it, clearly not sure what to say, but he knew he had lost. In the end, he decided to let the whole baby-god-snacking thing go. "You know what? Never mind. I even had an idea for a new adventure!" He grinned and floated closer. "I was thinking... Maybe you could take me back in time? You know, help me out with my history class?"  
Clockwork chuckled, his staff shifting in his grasp. "Ah, history. You may find it more complicated than your textbooks suggest, young Daniel."  
Danny grinned. "Yes, but that only makes it more fun."  
Clockwork sighed and shook his head in amusement. "Very well. Let's see where time takes us now."
Flashback End
Yes, as he found out. He just made some new jokes and that was it. Still saw him as the same mentor as before.
Kronos was still looking at baby Hestia when he left the room. He would not eat her or any of the others. He shouldn't change the timeline that much. He needs them for destiny. 
Instead, he ignored them. He did still his old hobby or well future hobby of looking into Timelines. 
His siblings did notice, him doing that much more. Rhea after a time gave up to pull him away from doing that or being in his laboratory. While he didn't treat her like before, she is happy he didn't tried something like their father on their children. With that prophecy... But this way.
Hestia grew up in the shadow of his disregard and her mother's care, learning to keep herself. Demeter was left to flourish with the plants and crops, fairly untouched by her father's coldness, she learned quickly to ignore it. Hera felt the sting of his lack of interest, but she was strong-willed and sought comfort more from her mother, Rhea. 
Hades, the brooder in his last life, took it with stride and retreated to the underworld to build his own kingdom with the help of his uncle Iapetus. And Poseidon, the youngest of them at the moment, found solace in the vast oceans and swam in Ocaenus' kingdom.
Zeus then was born last, and by then all his children, long accepted their father and king's indifference to them. He barely glanced at the baby, his gaze lingering only briefly on the tiny fingers and toes that would one day wield thunderbolts. He knew what was to come, and he let it happen without a fight. 
He was to be Clockwork, the keeper of time, not a player in the game. And he was able to notice, his titan body too did took the changed. The titans noticed how his Golden Eyes turned Red, and his hair turned white. Same with his skin to change color to Blue.
Years passed, and the children grew into their power. 
After talking to others about their father. They saw their father's lack of concern as a lack of fear, a sign that they were not important enough to be considered a threat. Little did they know the truth behind those unblinking clockwork eyes.
As Zeus approached the teenage years for a god, Kronos said it was time. He knew it was time for his children to challenge him. 
Kronos did not plan to stand in the way. He had seen his end, and it was not at the hands of his own children.
One quiet evening, King Cronus called his children to him for the first time since their birth. 
They came, curious and wary. "I have decided to abdicate my throne," he announced, his voice echoing through the halls of the throne room.
Their eyes widened in shock. Hestia stepped back, her hand to her mouth. Demeter clutched the arm of her brother Hades. Poseidon looked out to sea, his mind racing. And Zeus, always the strategist, felt the first spark of hope in his chest.
"You are all strong in your own right," Kronos continued, his gaze sweeping over them. "I trust you to rule when I am gone."
The children and Rhea, like his siblings, didn't know what to say or had time to say anything. 
For Kronos had disappeared, leaving them all to fend for themselves again. 
Zeus had stepped forward, his blue eyes blazing as he looked at his siblings. "Let us show him what we are truly made of," he said, his voice resonating with newfound power. "We will not be ignored."
Time moved on, 
Iapetus would stay to help, moving to the underworld with Hades to serve as an advisor to the younger immortal.
In time, a new kingdom was built as they left behind their father's kingdom. And they built their own, now called Gods, as the Titans retired and moved on with their lives.
For thousands of years, no one was sure what happened to Kronos, for they could never find him. And most of his brothers searched for him. 
They talked about how Kronos must have done something with his experiments with time. They were never sure if he was still Kronos, or if he had messed up his time control too badly.
For Kronos, his body had changed, the familiar gears of time reappeared within him, and soon he was Clockwork again.
It was what he had chosen. The freedom of the Ghost Zone, his lair, had already appeared.
Clockwork smiled to himself. Here, in the Ghost Zone, he would watch time and move with his life.
Clockwork stood before a time portal, watching the swirling flow of moments. His past as Kronos seemed distant now, at least to him. 
Danny Phantom entered the room and Clockwork's face lit up with joy. "Ah, Daniel. It's good to see you again."
Danny smiled. "You didn't think I'd be back so soon! You did! I surprised you!"
Clockwork chuckled quietly. "Time has a way. I knew you would come, but not right now, maybe 1 or 3 minutes later or earlier..." He watched as Danny settled down nearby.
As the portal flickered again, Clockwork looked at him as he whispered, "All is as it should be.

⟡ content: xiao x gn!reader; sfw; fluff; established relationship; xiao has certain powers that i will not disclose since it will spoil the fic, but it will be very obvious when you read it !; 1.5k words
⟡ a/n: couldn't for the life of me come up with a one sentence summary for this so unfortunately there is just the title to go off of 😔 also chibi xiao for the banner because it matches the vibe of the story hehe i hope you enjoy mwah !
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
“If anything happens-”
“Just speak your name and you’ll be there.”
You finished off Xiao’s sentence with a soft smile.
Xiao’s protectiveness was second nature to him. Though he knew you were capable of fending for yourself, it never felt right for him to let you go on long travels without reiterating his promise to you. Especially now when you were heading to another nation where its threats were unfamiliar to him.
“But I won’t need to because nothing will happen to me,” you continued, flicking the clasps of your travel bag closed. “That is, unless the alchemical materials in the laboratory become sentient and decide to attack.”
Xiao gave a pout. “My concern is with the monsters of Dragonspine, not inanimate objects.”
His unwavering sincerity meant he seldom reciprocated your jokes, particularly when they revolved around your own safety. He had always thought that this would make him appear too stiff. Little did he know that it endeared him to you even more.
You walked over to Xiao, taking both his hands in yours. Eyes meeting his serious, amber gaze, you gently kissed the spot between his brows, trying to smooth out the furrow that had made its home there. He tensed ever so slightly before relaxing, still getting accustomed to your open affection.
“I’ll always be accompanied by members of the Knights of Favonius,” you detailed. “And I’ll be staying in the city whenever I’m not doing my training.”
Conceding to your rational arguments, his frown melted away with a sigh. The sharpness on his face was replaced with a softer expression as you squeezed his hands. He let out a low hum, focusing on the weight of your hands in his own. After your leave, it would be a little while until he would be able to feel this once again.
“I’ll be alright, Xiao.”
Your voice resonated through his head. Sweet and reassuring.
Of course everything would be alright. It was you after all.
However, there would be nothing stopping Xiao from being who he was either.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
There always seemed to be a pleasant breeze in the City of Mondstadt, neither too strong nor too cold. You were thankful for the window in your room facing outwards into the street so you could always enjoy the fresh air. The accommodation in Angel’s Share tavern was modest, with all the essential features for a visitor like yourself. A bed, a cupboard for storage, and small writing desk below a window.
Today, the winds cooled your skin, toying with loose strands of your hair, but never disrupting the papers on your desk below as you worked.
After tidying up the notes from that day’s alchemical training session, you brought out a fresh piece of parchment. Dipping your quill into the black ink pot, you began to write, taking care so your handwriting wouldn’t be as illegible as your study notes.
Dear Xiao…
To ease your boyfriend’s worries about your status, you also each promised to write to each other. Fortunately, with Liyue and Mondstadt being neighbouring nations, mailing could be sent and received within a few days. Verr Goldet would certainly be surprised to see Xiao skulking around the lobby, secretly waiting for a letter addressed to him.
Too engrossed in your penning, you failed to notice company joining you by your open window.
A small bird landed on the sill with unnatural grace. It hopped curiously, head tilting one side then the other. It was only until it gave a chirp did your head shoot upwards.
“Archons!”
You placed your hand over your chest in surprise. The bird let out another chirp, ruffling its own feathers. A laugh bubbled out of you, amused by how frightened you were by such a harmless creature.
Placing your pen to the side, you leaned your head in your hand and observed the bird.
“You nearly scared me to death, you know that?” you said to it, lifting your brows in mock scolding.
You hadn’t seen a bird like this before. Its plumage was a mixture of teals with purple around the top of its head. Maybe it was a native bird of Mondstadt. You’d have to ask Albedo about it during your training session tomorrow.
The little bird didn’t move. It simply stared back with unblinking eyes.
You were no animal whisperer, yet something about its stance made it look like it was anticipating something. Your natural urge to pet cute things took over and you slowly reached out a hand towards it. That seemed to be the correct response as the bird quickly met the palm of your hand, nuzzling under your touch. You chuckled, rubbing small circles into its head with your thumb.
The bird gave another chirp, quieter this time but satisfied, nonetheless.
“You might be the cutest bird I’ve ever seen,” you mused aloud. “I should keep you to myself and take you home with me.”
From under your palm, the bird squeaked. It almost sounded alarmed. You lifted your hand curiously, and it hopped out of your touch. Its head swivelled around, looking between you and the window behind it. It came to a decision and unfurled its wings, taking flight into the open air.
You stood up and stuck your head out of the window, following its path before it blended in with the clear blue sky and disappeared from your sight.
You flopped back down into your chair, the wood creaking beneath you. The inked greeting you wrote at the beginning of your letter had dried down, settling into the parchment. Smiling to yourself, you picked up your pen and continued to write.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The little teal bird could only make it to Stone Gate before it had to make a stop.
Away from the eyes of any merchant or traveller passing through, it landed on one of the cliffs that lined the edges of the board walk.
If it were to land where there would be citizens present, it would probably cause a spectacle for what it was about to do next.
Wisps of green energy formed and coalesced around the bird, covering its body. The once tiny form grew larger and larger, reaching human size. Once upon a time, the transformation would have been much faster—almost instantaneous. But it had been a long time since he last used this power.
No trace of the little bird could be found as Xiao’s human form materialized.
Immediately, he fell to his knees. Partly because the transformation had been strenuous to concentrate on, but mostly because of his own embarrassment.
It had been less than a week since your departure, and Xiao could not wait for your first letter. He had to see for himself that no harm had befallen you.
He covered his beet-red face with both gloved hands, letting out a flustered groan.
His act would have been utterly blown had you kept him with you like a pet. The thought of him using up the last of his power and transforming while with you was too mortifying of a scenario. He also harshly reminded himself that you had not called him cute but rather the bird, and therefore there was no reason for his heart to be beating so fast.
How foolish of me... Of course nothing bad happened, he thought to himself. He had seen you unscathed, diligently studying, and even writing this week's letter for him.
Xiao took a moment to regain his energy and steady his heart. He gazed out at the landscape of Dihua Marsh. The remnant sensation of your warm hand caressing his feathered head left goosebumps on his skin. He had missed your soothing touch. Though, it just wasn’t the same compared to his human form. He couldn’t wrap his arms around you, feel you relax in his hold, or smell the scent of your perfume.
Xiao quietly admitted to himself that he preferred that you held his normal self. And because of that, he would be responsible and wait out these remaining four weeks until you returned to Liyue. That would be his first and last instance of spying in on you. Besides, he had your letters to look forward to.

Sharp thoughts 1/2
Mel Medarda x fem!reader
Summary: Your friendship with Mel slowly begins to crumble.
Warnings: angst, unrequited love, suggestion of sexual acts.
Word Count: 1K
ENGLISH IS NOT MY FIRST LANGUAGE.
Tumblr media
Mel was easily the best person you had ever met in your life. She was a spectacle in every way. Having her as your friend was comforting and opened many doors for you as an scientist and researcher.
Life seemed good for you, using a high-tech laboratory, with access to everything a scientist could want and thanks to Mel, contacts with several investors who might be interested in your work.
Unfortunately, Mel Medarda was too much for you.
You didn't notice when your heart started to swell when you thought about her, before you realized it, you could no longer think about her without letting out a sigh. Everything about her was... too much.
The delicate face, the graceful way she moves, the constant tinkling that is present due to her gold jewelry, the voice that seems to embrace you when she speaks to you.
You began to find yourself looking forward to her visits to your lab, or to going to see her in her luxurious quarters. This was why you worked so hard, because you loved your research, and so you had something interesting to show her. A reason to see her.
With that in mind, you stayed late in the lab, finishing a report on your latest research. You were going to show it to Mel and as a councilor, she was supposed to read it and debate whether or not to take your study to the next Council meeting.
Scanning quickly to make sure everything was okay, you stood up with a satisfied sigh. Mel's quarters weren't that far away.
You left the Academy building and walked quickly until you reached the large building where Mel's apartment was. Elora wouldn't be there at this time, and Mel had once said that you were welcome to visit her at any time. You entered the elevator and soon arrived in the lobby of the luxurious apartment. Feeling strange about the silence, you thought about calling her, but stopped when you thought you heard something. A sigh.
A moan.
You turned your head, towards where you knew Mel's suite was. You could have heard wrong, you were almost sure of that when you heard it again.
It was her voice. You were sure of it. Then she moaned again. A name this time. Jayce.
Jayce. Jayce Talis.
Your heart sank and your breath caught for a moment, until you realized you were invading her privacy. You turned and left, trying to do as little noise as possible.
Tumblr media
You didn't see Mel for the next few days, not because you were trying to avoid her, but because you were busy working on something for Heimerdinger, and she was also working a lot, apparently.
That's why you were slightly startled when the door to your lab opened and the click of her heels was heard, followed by her melodious voice.
"Working so hard that you didn't have time to come see me?" she asked with a slight laugh in her voice. It irritated you.
"What do you mean?" you tried to focus on the project on your desk.
"I heard about the research you did, and that you gave it to Heimerdinger. Why didn't you bring it to me, like always?" she walked over to you and leaned against the desk.
"He was the first counselor I met when I finished, then." you lied, feeling the bitter taste in your mouth.
"Oh, so that's how it is." she let out a playful chuckle. "I thought we had an alliance."
Her presence felt too close, but you swallowed hard and lifted your face, meeting hers.
"Sorry, I just don't have much time to look for you." you sounded more irritated than you wanted.
Her relaxed expression faltered and she straightened her posture. "Hey, I'm just kidding." she brought one of her manicured hands to your forearm.
"Sorry." you shook your head and looked back at the notes on your desk. "I'm just... really annoyed with work."
"We all are. When you have some free time, why don't you come over to my place? I painted something new, I think you'll like it." she offered softly.
You nearly melted at her offer, the earlier irritation almost forgotten, “Sure, I’d love to.”
So that night you took the path you knew so well. The surprise this time wasn't as unpleasant as the last. Jayce was there again, lying down, his head in Mel's lap. She was comforting him about something. An intimate and tender moment. You turned around and left again.
Tumblr media
Well, this time you were avoiding her. Leaving the lab at times when you knew she would visit you, avoiding the council building and staying away from her apartment. Elora even came to you, notifying you that Councilor Medarda wanted to see you, but you politely said that you were very busy.
Your irritation worsened when she appointed him as an advisor. It was at that moment that you knew you would never reach her level, no matter what you did.
Your favorite place to be away from the lab was the fountain in the park, with the purple leaves blowing in the wind. That's where you found yourself at the moment, absentmindedly playing with a pen in your hand, waiting for the time to pass.
"You told Elora you had too much work to take the time to see me." the velvety voice spoke from behind you, slightly irritated. "You don't seem very busy right now."
You turned your face to see her standing there, close to the bench where you were sitting.
"Counselor Medarda." you greeted politely. "Forgive me for the misunderstanding-"
"What joke is this?" she said more irritated than before, her serene face distorting into an angry expression. "What's gotten into you?"
"I have to work, Councilor, I'm afraid I'm not the richest woman in Piltover." you hinted. "I can't afford to lose my sponsorships."
"I work too, and at work I don't have many friends. That's why I value the few friendships I have." she walked up to you. "Like yours."
"Oh, you don't have any friends?" you scoffed. "And bed partners?"
"What?" she took a step back, her expression faltering.
"That's exactly what I witnessed when I went to you to deliver my research, counselor." you replied irritably. "But don't worry, I won't tell anyone."
Mel was silent, standing there as you walked back to your lab.

How about the Arcane folks with and S/O that is a polyglot but it’s never really come into play before until they’re caught singing idly in another language, maybe just going about some mindless task. (Personally, I can sing tunes in German, Italian, French, and Japanese). I dunno. I just thought it would be neat. The first time I heard my mother speaking in Latin, and thus realized she spoke Latin blew my mind!

JAYCE - ITALIAN
The warm glow of the late afternoon sun filtered through the high windows of the workshop, casting elongated golden streaks across the scattered blueprints and tools. Y/N moved around the cluttered space, absentmindedly humming as she wiped down a worktable, her voice barely above a whisper as she shifted into soft, melodic Italian.
"Volare, oh oh… Cantare, oh oh oh oh… Nel blu, dipinto di blu… Felice di stare lassù…" ("Nel blu, dipinto di blu" by Domenico Modugno)
Jayce paused in the doorway, hand still resting on the frame. He had come looking for her, some half-formed question about a mechanism on the tip of his tongue, but now? Now, he stood utterly frozen, captivated.
Y/N had always been a presence in his life—sharp-witted, endlessly patient with his occasional bouts of genius and recklessness alike. He knew her, or so he had thought. But never had he heard her voice like this. Never had he known that she spoke another language, let alone sang so effortlessly in one.
He took a step forward, boots clicking against the tiled floor. Y/N, still unaware of his presence, continued singing, her voice weaving around the tune with a kind of careless grace. It wasn’t a performance—it was something unguarded, natural, like breathing.
Jayce cleared his throat, a little awkwardly. “Well, that’s new.”
Y/N startled, her hands gripping the rag she’d been using. She turned, eyes wide for a fraction of a second before they softened in recognition. “Jayce.”
“Didn’t mean to scare you.” He smiled, stepping further into the room. “I just—since when do you speak Italian?”
A slow, knowing smile curled her lips. “Since always?” she teased. “It’s not something that usually comes up when we’re debating stabilizer cores or arcane conductivity.”
Jayce huffed a laugh, rubbing the back of his neck. “Yeah, fair point. But, damn, Y/N, you’re—” He hesitated, searching for the right word. “—really good. That was beautiful.”
She shrugged, setting the rag aside. “It’s just something I picked up over the years. I like languages. Guess I never had a reason to show off before.”
Jayce tilted his head, curiosity sparking in his eyes. “How many?”
Y/N grinned, leaning against the table. “Enough.”
He let out a short laugh, eyes crinkling at the corners. “That’s not an answer.”
“It is if I want to be mysterious,” she countered playfully.
Jayce shook his head, crossing his arms. “You are full of surprises, aren’t you?”
She simply smirked and, just for fun, replied in flawless Piltover-accented Shuriman, “And you’ve only just begun to notice?”
Jayce blinked. Then blinked again. “Oh, now you’re just showing off.”
Y/N only winked before turning back to her task, resuming her song as if he hadn’t just been completely blindsided by this new revelation.
Jayce grinned to himself, watching her for a moment longer before shaking his head and heading back out.
Yeah. He was definitely in trouble.
Tumblr media
VIKTOR - LATIN
The soft hum of a melody drifted through Viktor’s laboratory, curling in the air like a whispered secret. At first, he barely noticed it, his mind too tangled in the intricate blueprints spread across his desk. But as the voice grew stronger, words threading into a song, his quill stilled, suspended mid-air.
Latin.
He recognized it immediately. The cadence, the lyrical rise and fall, each syllable shaped with effortless grace. It was old—ancient, even—woven with history and meaning, yet it rolled from Y/N’s lips as if it were second nature.
"Dona nobis pacem, Domine," she sang softly, the prayer-like plea slipping past her lips as she worked. The words—Grant us peace, O Lord—carried an almost hypnotic rhythm, reverberating through the quiet of the lab. ("Dona Nobis Pacem Domine" by Taize)
He turned in his chair, gripping the handle of his cane as he stood. His gaze swept the room until he found her. She was entirely oblivious to his scrutiny, her focus set on some absentminded task. A book she had borrowed from his collection lay open beside her, but her hands were occupied elsewhere—carefully sorting through small, labeled vials.
The scene was unassuming, yet Viktor found himself unable to look away.
“Your pronunciation is quite impressive,” he finally said, voice laced with curiosity.
Y/N startled, her song cutting off abruptly. She looked over her shoulder, eyes widening at the sight of him. “Oh—Viktor, I didn’t realize you were listening.”
“You did not think I would notice someone singing in a dead language?” he asked, amusement curling at the edge of his words. He stepped closer, leaning slightly on his cane as he studied her. “Most people struggle with Latin. Yet you speak it as if it is your first tongue.”
A slow smile spread across her lips. “Not my first,” she admitted. “But one of many.”
His brows lifted. “Many?”
She tilted her head, as if considering whether to elaborate. “Languages are… a bit of a hobby of mine.”
A spark of intrigue flickered in his eyes. “How many?”
“Fluently?” She counted off on her fingers. “Six, but I can get by in a handful more.”
Viktor let out a low chuckle, shaking his head in quiet disbelief. “And yet, I have never heard you speak anything beyond our common tongue.”
She shrugged, absentmindedly turning a vial between her fingers. “It never really came up before.”
“Hah,” Viktor mused, rubbing his chin. “I think it is wasted potential.”
She quirked a brow. “Oh?”
He gestured vaguely, his amusement giving way to something thoughtful. “Language is a bridge between minds. A tool for knowledge. And here you are, fluent in six, keeping them hidden away like locked doors.”
Y/N chuckled. “It’s not intentional. I suppose I just never found a reason to bring it up.”
Viktor hummed, watching her with the keen interest of a scientist discovering a new anomaly. Then, in a moment of quiet mischief, he leaned a little closer and, in near-perfect Latin, murmured, "Tum forte rationem reddam tibi" (Then perhaps I should give you a reason)
Y/N blinked, her lips parting in surprise. Then, slowly, she grinned.
“Oh, Viktor,” she said, switching effortlessly into the same language. "Ego amare te videre tentant" (I would love to see you try)
Tumblr media
JAYVIK - SPANISH
The apartment smelled heavenly—garlic, onions, and the warm scent of simmering tomatoes filled the air. The soft hum of a familiar voice drifted through the home, accompanied by the quiet clatter of kitchen utensils. Viktor and Jayce, exhausted from a long day at the Academy, stepped inside, the door clicking shut behind them.
Jayce let out a heavy sigh, rolling his shoulders as he toed off his boots. "Something smells amazing."
"And it sounds rather pleasant, too," Viktor added, his brow lifting as he listened more closely. Y/N's voice floated from the kitchen, melodic and warm, the words foreign yet oddly soothing. He leaned against his cane and exchanged a look with Jayce, who was already padding forward to investigate.
They found her standing at the stove, absentmindedly stirring a pot of sauce, hips swaying ever so slightly as she sang to herself. The soft flickering of candlelight reflected off the countertops, bathing the kitchen in a golden glow. Neither of them had ever heard her sing before—at least, not like this.
Her voice was soft yet rich as she sang, "Bésame, bésame mucho, como si fuera esta noche la última vez…" The melody of the classic song carried through the kitchen, gentle and slow, as though she was lost in the moment, not realizing she had an audience. (Bésame Mucho by Andrea Bocelli)
Jayce leaned against the doorframe, folding his arms. "I had no idea you could sing."
Y/N startled slightly, the wooden spoon clattering against the side of the pot as she turned to face them. "Oh! I didn’t hear you come in. How was work?"
"Work was long," Viktor answered, stepping further into the kitchen, his sharp eyes gleaming with amusement. "But this—this is a rather lovely surprise. Spanish, is it?"
Y/N nodded, a little sheepish, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear. "Yeah, I guess I just never really had a reason to mention it before."
Jayce grinned. "You're full of surprises, huh? So, how many languages do you actually speak?"
She hesitated for a moment, then shrugged. "A few."
Viktor let out a soft chuckle, his voice carrying that familiar teasing lilt. "A 'few' could mean anything. Come now, don't be modest."
Y/N smirked and wiped her hands on a towel before turning back to stir the sauce. "Enough to make sure I can always eavesdrop on people when I need to."
Jayce let out a bark of laughter while Viktor shook his head with fond exasperation.
"And yet, you've been keeping this talent from us?" Viktor tsked playfully, stepping closer to press a light kiss to the side of her head. "Very unfair."
Jayce wrapped his arms around her from behind, his chin resting on her shoulder. "You should sing more often. I like it."
She huffed a laugh, leaning into his warmth. "Maybe I will—if you're both good."
Viktor smirked, leaning on his cane as he reached to steal a taste of the sauce. "And what if we are not?"
Y/N swatted his hand away, laughing as she turned back to her cooking. "Then you'll just have to earn it."
The three of them stood there, wrapped in the warmth of home, teasing and laughing, the stress of the day melting away in the glow of the kitchen light.
Tumblr media
VANDER - GERMAN
The Last Drop hummed with the usual warmth of an early evening rush, the chatter of patrons mixing with the clink of glasses and the scrape of chairs. Vander leaned against the bar, arms folded, watching as you went about your quiet task—wiping down one of the tables near the back, absentmindedly humming to yourself.
It started with just a soft hum, a quiet melody beneath your breath, something easy, something familiar.
"Guten Abend, gut’ Nacht, mit Rosen bedacht…"
The German words slipped from your lips like silk, effortlessly smooth, flowing through the tavern air. You weren’t even thinking about it, your hands moving on muscle memory as you wiped the wooden surface, swaying slightly to the lullaby’s rhythm.
Vander straightened up, brows lifting as he recognized the unfamiliar tongue. A glance to the side told him he wasn’t the only one caught off guard—Powder sat at a nearby table, her blue eyes wide with curiosity, while Mylo and Claggor exchanged confused looks. Even Vi, who had been mid-drink, lowered her cup with a quirked brow.
You, completely unaware of the sudden attention, kept singing softly as you moved toward another table.
"Mit Näglein besteckt, schlupf unter die Deck…" ("Guten Abend, gut’ Nacht" by Johannes Brahms)
“Since when could she do that?” Mylo muttered, eyes darting between you and Vander.
“Dunno,” Vi murmured, intrigued. “What is that, anyway?”
“It’s… German, I think,” Claggor guessed.
Powder perked up. “Is she casting a spell?!”
Vander chuckled, shaking his head. “No spell, love. Just a song.”
Your voice was warm and gentle, carrying the lullaby with the same tenderness one might use when rocking a child to sleep. The foreign words weren’t harsh or strange; they were beautiful, lyrical in a way that felt like something from a dream.
Vander couldn’t help but smile to himself, resting his chin on his knuckles as he watched you sway slightly with the melody. He’d known you for years, held you close on the coldest of nights, whispered his love against your skin—but this? This was new.
As if sensing the sudden silence around you, you finally looked up, blinking when you caught the whole bar staring. Your singing cut off immediately, and your eyes darted to Vander in confusion.
“What?”
Vander smirked. “Didn’t know you had more secrets, love.”
Your brows furrowed for a beat before realization dawned. “Oh.” You huffed out a small laugh, rubbing the back of your neck sheepishly. “Right. The German thing. Guess that never really came up, huh?”
Powder practically vibrated with excitement. “You speak other languages?!”
You shrugged, a bit bashful under all the attention. “Yeah, a few.”
“How many’s ‘a few’?” Vi pressed, smirking.
You glanced at Vander, who was still watching you with that amused, knowing look, like he was seeing you in a whole new light.
“Uh… seven?”
A collective groan filled the tavern.
“Seven?!” Mylo looked positively betrayed. “Seven damn languages and you never said anything?”
You raised your hands in defence. “It never really came up!”
Powder grabbed your arm with wide, pleading eyes. “Say something cool!”
You laughed, shaking your head before leaning down to murmur in German, “Du bist ein kleiner Wirbelwind, nicht wahr?” (You're a little whirlwind, aren't you?)
The little girl gasped, even though she had no idea what you had just said. “That sounded cool.”
Vi chuckled, shaking her head as she leaned back. “Unbelievable.”
Vander finally pushed himself off the bar and made his way over, slipping an arm around your waist as he pressed a kiss to your temple. “And here I thought I knew everything about you,” he murmured.
You grinned, tilting your head up to him. “Guess I gotta keep you on your toes somehow.”
Vander chuckled, squeezing you just a little tighter. “That you do, love. That you do.”
Tumblr media
SILCO - FRENCH
The waters of the harbor lapped lazily against the wooden stilts of the city above, though the sound barely reached the confines of Silco’s office. The dim lanterns flickered against the damp stone walls, casting long shadows over the desk where papers lay scattered—contracts, reports, and coded messages that would shape the underbelly of Zaun before the night was through.
Y/N sat across from him, idly sifting through a stack of documents, her fingers smudged faintly with ink. She had offered to help—an amusing thing, considering the weight of the decisions each page held—but Silco had allowed it. If only to keep her near.
The room was quiet, save for the scratch of his pen against parchment, until something softer slipped into the air.
"Quand il me prend dans ses bras, Il me parle tout bas, Je vois la vie en rose..."
Silco’s pen halted mid-stroke.
His gaze flicked up, sharp and searching. Y/N was unaware, her head tilted slightly as she flipped through another document, her lips parting absentmindedly as she continued.
"Il me dit des mots d’amour, Des mots de tous les jours..."
The melody curled through the air like cigarette smoke, languid and sweet, a stark contrast to the ink-stained dealings of the night. Silco leaned back in his chair, watching her with newfound scrutiny. He had never heard her speak like this before.
Not in that tongue.
“You never told me you spoke Piltover’s language,” he murmured.
Y/N paused, blinking up at him as if only now realizing he had been listening. A small smile tugged at her lips.
“It’s not Piltover’s language,” she corrected. “It’s French. From someplace far.”
Silco hummed, considering this. “I see.” He set his pen down with deliberate slowness, steepling his fingers. “And how many of these tongues do you speak, my dear?”
She smirked, tilting her head. “Enough.”
A scoff of amusement left him. “That’s vague.”
“That’s the point,” she quipped, returning to her work.
But Silco wasn’t done with her just yet. He rose from his chair with that slow, measured grace of his, moving to her side. He plucked the paper from her hands and set it aside, fingers ghosting over her wrist.
“Sing it again.”
She arched a brow. “You just want to hear it because it’s something of me you didn’t know.”
Silco leaned down, his breath warm against her ear as he murmured, “I want to hear it because it sounds like honey when you say it.”
Y/N let out a soft laugh but indulged him, her voice weaving through the room once more.
"Il me parle tout bas, Je vois la vie en rose..." ("La Vie en Rose" by Édith Piaf)
Silco, ever the man who wielded power in words and silence alike, found himself utterly transfixed.
It was one thing to know Y/N—to trace the curve of her body in the dark, to memorize the cadence of her voice in argument and affection. But this?
This was something new. Something unexpected.
And Silco did so enjoy unearthing secrets.
Tumblr media
JINX - JAPANESE
Jinx never really paid much attention to the little things—unless they were flashy, explosive, or chaotic. But today, something caught her ear that made her pause mid-tinker.
You were just going about your usual routine, cleaning up the mess she’d made in her latest project, when you started singing. It wasn’t anything particularly grand or dramatic—just soft, idle humming at first. Then the words came, foreign yet fluid, rolling off your tongue effortlessly.
"Kimi to natsu no owari Shourai no yume Ookina kibou wasurenai~" ("Secret Base Kimi ga Kureta Mono" by ZONE)
Jinx squinted, leaning forward from where she sat cross-legged on the floor, tools scattered around her. One of her wrenches dangled loosely from her fingers, forgotten as she honed in on the unfamiliar melody. Her usually chaotic mind latched onto the soft cadence of your voice, the way the words curled and dipped in a way that was completely foreign yet strangely soothing.
“The hell is that?” she blurted out.
You blinked, startled, before turning to her. “Huh?”
Jinx tilted her head, blue braids shifting with the motion. “What was that? That weird—pretty, but weird—thing you were just mumblin’?”
“Oh, uh—Japanese,” you admitted, rubbing the back of your neck. “Just a song I know.”
Jinx's eyes gleamed with curiosity. “Pfft—since when do you know Japanese?”
You shrugged. “Since always?”
Jinx looked at you as if you’d just sprouted a second head. “Okay, first of all—what? And second, you never told me you were some kinda language genius!”
“I mean, it never really came up?”
Jinx huffed, tossing her wrench over her shoulder with a dramatic pout. “Ugh, how could you keep something this cool from me? Do you know other ones?”
You smirked. “A few.”
She squinted suspiciously. “How many’s ‘a few’?”
“...Five. Maybe six?”
Jinx gasped, grabbing your shoulders and shaking you slightly. “Are you serious?! That’s so cool! Do the thing again—sing something!”
You chuckled before obliging, switching languages effortlessly. This time, you chose something in French, the words lilting and elegant, a stark contrast to the chaotic environment of Jinx’s workshop. Jinx leaned in, fascinated, her grin widening with each syllable.
“Ohhh, this is the best thing ever,” she cackled, clapping her hands together. “You gotta teach me something! Oh! No—wait! We should mess with people! Imagine someone tries talkin’ to us and you just hit ‘em with some fancy foreign gibberish! Their brains would short-circuit!”
You shook your head with a chuckle, knowing full well she was already concocting a dozen ridiculous scenarios in her mind.
Jinx suddenly gasped, pointing an accusing finger at you. “WAIT. How many times have you done this and I just didn’t notice? Have you been cursing me out in different languages? OH MY GOD, HAVE YOU BEEN TRASH-TALKING ME IN SECRET?”
You snorted. “No, Jinx. I’d do that to your face.”
Jinx narrowed her eyes at you before breaking into laughter. “Fair enough, fair enough.” She twirled a screwdriver between her fingers before pointing it at you like a conductor’s baton. “Alright, polyglot extraordinaire, you and me? We’re gonna have some fun with this.”
You didn’t know what that meant yet, but knowing Jinx… it probably involved some kind of chaos. And honestly? You weren’t even mad about it.
