It’s not often that Lycaon decides to take time off and go home. Most of the time, he’s working on commissions his master’s demand of him or training with the other houseworkers to ensure their success. But in order to make sure everything goes to plan, the boss himself needs time to rest and re-energize for his next jobs. And with that, he sets off home to his significant other, sending a quick voice message entailing his arrival in hopes that they’ll be quick to respond. It hadn’t been long since he’s come home, that being said his tail twitches and sways from behind at the thought of being in his beloved's arms. 

⋈ Lycaon lives in a decent home, despite the amount of money he makes with his job and how well he is paid by his employers, he enjoys the simpler things and reminds honest with his taste. Besides, no one would notice that the gentlemanly wolf thiren next door was a skilled butler working with high-end companies. Wandering up the steps, his tail wagged as he could hear a faint noise of someone home, clutching the bouquet of flowers he bought for his love. Compared to those of the flowers in his own garden, these one’s bloom brightly in ways that he could only describe of a similar light of that of his lover. 

⋈ Entering his home, he is happy to notice just how clean and well kept the entry it. Shoes neatly placed in their holders while a set of prosthetic legs and covers are set up in the mud-room for his own personal use. After all, these legs are for work mainly, he needs to feel comfortable in his own home you know. His ears perk up when a set of footsteps come around the corner, a head of hair and a curious face peeks out before breaking into a heartwarming smile, one that makes his tail thump and his heart skip a beat.

“Von, you’re home! I didn’t think you’d come back so suddenly. I barely had time to finish making dinner yet.”

They approach him as he stands by the door, taking in their figure before leaning down to give them a kiss. It’s gentle and warm, hands on his cheek as they lean up to reach his face. The flowers trapped between them both as they smiled in this heartwarming reunion. “I thought you would have liked me to come home sooner rather than later, I missed you dearly. Hopefully you weren’t too lonely.” 

Handing over the bouquet, they only shake their heads before assisting them to the mud room, giving him privacy to change out of his work attire into something more comfortable and fitting for home. His clothes may seem seamless and tidy yet- to the trained eye- you could see some areas of wear and tear that he would have to mend after a good wash. “I wasn’t that lonely, besides you always made sure to text me every night and morning so how could I be lonely.”

Walking away to put the flowers into a vase, Von soon followed as he entered their living and dining room, sighing in relief as everything was still in order at home. He enjoys his home to be clean and set to his liking, seeing his partner follow his wishes truly makes him grateful to be the companion of such a thoughtful person. He could smell the delicate scent of homemade dinner, almost drooling at the thought of eating something that wasn’t made by Rina. However his attempt to enter the kitchen is met with some resistance as his beloved stands before him, arms crossed with a knowing look. “Von…”

“I only wish to see what you’re making, dear. Is that such a crime?” With a subtle smirk, they only shake his head before watching him travel around the kitchen island as if looking for something other than food. “Not when you are clearly looking for something to do, or rather tend to. Come on Von, remember our promise.”

His arm is tugged at as he looks down, the sight of a pouting face making him chuckle. “Can I at least set up the table?” With a giggle, he takes them into his arms playfully as they could only agree with his request.

“Fine, since you asked so nicely.” He couldn’t be happier to assist. 

⋈ Usually when Von is home, his partner makes him promise that his time at home would be spent relaxing and being pampered. There are times where they compromise, especially on bigger tasks like laundry or dishes, but other than that he gets to sit back and admire his beloved from a distance. Other times, they make plans to go out for some light shopping, usually for groceries or to buy some new stuff for their home. Any reason to go out with his beloved is one he’ll take, wanting to spend as much time with them before he would leave again for Victoria Household. 

⋈ He listens to their story of home and their own personal agenda, sharing details about his own jobs and the people he’s hired on. Even though they text and call almost everyday, he can’t help but take in the sight of their expressions and how they move with every word they speak. Admiring his love is one of his favorite pastimes, it is moments like these that he really gets to know them well. Like how they smile when they make eye contact, how they raise their brows when trying to be serious, tucking their hair out of their face when they slow down their speech out of nervous tendencies. Or how their cheeks softly redden when he stares too hard.

⋈ After dinner and a quick shower, he’s right back to their side like a loyal dog, holding them in his arms while resting his head on theirs. Whether it’s cleaning up dishes or folding whatever sheets they had washes to prepare for his arrival, he stays by their side and waits patiently for their attention. He even helps out here and there, distracting his lover with whatever they were rambling about before they could notice that everything had been put away and neatly done. Should they catch him, he’d refuse to acknowledge his aid and brush it off as a ghost. But he’s only joking, really.

⋈ He loves the way they always want to tend to his needs before their own. Making sure his legs are comfortable in his prosthetics, tending any old wound that might be bothering him or getting him whatever he needed at the moment. But this is something that comes sparingly, as he doesn’t want to burden his beloved with, finding time later to do whatever he needs in his own time so he can focus on them and only them. 

⋈ By the end of the night, they are cuddling in bed while his head nuzzled up to their chest, ears flicking as delicate fingers run through his hair and comb back his fur. Scratches behind the ears and caresses on his cheeks as they whisper sweet praises that only lull him further into their figure. Hands on their hips as he clings to them for comfort as he can’t imagine a world where he is alone in a bed for two, no one to love or be loved by. No, he will keep them here with him, safe where he can see them. Where he can feel them and know that they’ll always be waiting for him here. 

▿

After a night of slumber, Von still finds himself waking up earlier than most due to his usual work routine before taking a moment to slow down and register where he is. He could only stare at the sleeping being beside him, admiring how their chest rises with every soft breath, lips parted gently with hair covering parts of their face. Yet they looked so peaceful, entranced with how beautiful one person can really be. 

His clawed hand gently fixing their hair to see the rest of their face. Leaning down to place trails of small kisses on their face, finishing with a deep kiss on their lips. How they follow his touch before he escapes them, groans of disapproval are heard before they stretch and start coming to. “Morning love. Sleep well?” He looms over them as they open their eyes to be greeted with a holy sight. They only hum before petting at his bare chest, still half asleep as attempts to pull him closer for more. Yearning for his touch but Von didn’t mind, giving in easily before parting once more to comb back their hair and look on them with his loving gaze. 

“Did you want some coffee? I can brew some up right now.”

“But Von… I’m supposed to take care of you for a change. Hmmp-” They are silenced with another long kiss, one that leaves them breathless as they sit up and finally make eye contact with the handsome wolf. “Yes but right now, I believe it’s my duty to tend to you now, so please-”

“Let me be of service to you, dear.~”

Utc time offset

Utc time offset full#

Utc time offset software#

Utc time offset full#

It is used to represent a full date (year, month, day) and time (hour, minute, second, nanosecond) with a time zone (region/city, such as Europe/Paris). The ZonedDateTime class, in effect, combines the LocalDateTime class with the ZoneId class. The ZonedDateTime class accommodates this scenario, whereas the OffsetDateTime and OffsetTime classes, which do not have access to the ZoneRules, do not. For example, most time zones experience a gap (typically of 1 hour) when moving the clock forward to daylight saving time, and a time overlap when moving the clock back to standard time and the last hour before the transition is repeated. Also, XML and other network formats define date-time transfer as OffsetDateTime or OffsetTime.Īlthough all three classes maintain an offset from Greenwich/UTC time, only ZonedDateTime uses the ZoneRules, part of the package, to determine how an offset varies for a particular time zone.

Utc time offset software#

When would you use OffsetDateTime instead of ZonedDateTime? If you are writing complex software that models its own rules for date and time calculations based on geographic locations, or if you are storing time-stamps in a database that track only absolute offsets from Greenwich/UTC time, then you might want to use OffsetDateTime.

OffsetTime handles time with a corresponding time zone offset from Greenwich/UTC, without a time zone ID.

OffsetDateTime handles a date and time with a corresponding time zone offset from Greenwich/UTC, without a time zone ID.

ZonedDateTime handles a date and time with a corresponding time zone with a time zone offset from Greenwich/UTC.

The Date-Time API provides three temporal-based classes that work with time zones: This example prints the following list to standard out: America/Caracas -04:30 Write only time zones that do not have a whole hour offset String out = String.format("%35s %10s%n", zone, offset) Int secondsOfHour = offset.getTotalSeconds() % (60 * 60) List zoneList = new ArrayList(allZones).sort() Create a List using the set of zones and sort it. Set allZones = ZoneId.getAvailableZoneIds() The following code prints a list of all time zones that use offsets from Greenwich/UTC that are not defined in whole hours. Offsets from Greenwich/UTC time are usually defined in whole hours, but there are exceptions.

ZoneOffset specifies a time zone offset from Greenwich/UTC time.

ZoneId specifies a time zone identifier and provides rules for converting between an Instant and a LocalDateTime.

The Date-Time API provides two classes for specifying a time zone or an offset: For example, the offset for Tokyo is +09:00. Each time zone is described by an identifier and usually has the format region/city ( Asia/Tokyo) and an offset from Greenwich/UTC time. A time zone is a region of the earth where the same standard time is used.

Could I request headcanons for ZZZ Billy, Wise, and Lycaon reacting to his shy gn crush confessing to him please?

Another late-night writing session, another cilent.

Eh- too much sugar... good.

Heartfelt Confessions

⋘ 𝑙𝑜𝑎𝑑𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑑𝑎𝑡𝑎…

I may have done this a little wrong, but I wrote it in the sense of that they boys where enamored with the gn!insert. That they had a crush on them yet the insert confessed to them. I hope I got that right!

Billy / Wise / Lycaon x Shy-Gn!reader

𝑃𝑙𝑒𝑎𝑠𝑒 𝑤𝑎𝑖𝑡…⋙

tw: none?

✦ I’ll be honest, this would probably go over his head at first. Billy is familiar with their mannerisms and is always patient with them. After all, he just adores how they stumble over their worlds when they wish to comment on anything their cute mind is thinking over. So Billy is just standing there, looking at them as they gather their thoughts and admit their growing affects to them. Yet he’s too focused on the dewy glaze over their eyes when they shyly look up at him, the subtle pout on their lips where he could only dream to feel on his face-plates.

✦  But after some moments of quiet and Billy finally registering what it is they said, he’s baffled and exclaiming why someone so amazing- a beacon of joy and pure innocence, a being that anyone would be more than blessed to have been in the presence of when they flash their most radiant smile- would ever like the likes of him! Believe me, if his long pause of silence from before startled them nervous, his own sudden confession made them embarrassed as he’s practically screaming how amazing they are.

✦ But they assure him that they’ve always admired and shortly grew to love his flaws and perfections. That he made them feel safe and how he made them laugh when times grew grim, that he is always too patient and understanding and that no matter what he was told, they’d only see the real him. The person who cheers up a friend, a person who is passionate about the interests of his colleague, a person who is strong and steps up for others who can’t themselves. Billy could feel his gears and joints ache in the need to collapse as their words come out confident and true, wanting to be a mere puddle beneath their feet. Needless to say, he happily accepted after making another scene which only made them more embarrassed.

✦ His crush has been working part-time at the store with them, always helping them out with returns and promotional materials. So when Belle left to run some errands and it was just them two, Wise was shocked at first when they asked to speak with him in private. So in the staff room, they rushed out their confession that Wise was worried that they could have bitten their tongue and tried to calm them down.

✦ He holds their arms gently and tells them that it’s alright and how he’s nothing but happy to hear this. He’ll admit, he’s known about their affections for a while after all he’s Wise, cunning and sharp with attention to details. That and while he won’t admit it, Belle has at times helped him figure out if they really do like him. The teasing she and Eous gave him, if word got out to you he’d probably die there and now. Maybe he should have gone through Fairy and see to it that any camera recording of the incident be deleted.

✦ Seeing as he all accepted their confess, they smile happily before he pulls them into a tight hug, heart beating as he finally could do all the things he wanted now that they knew he liked them- no, cherished their affect and love. He couldn’t wait to bombard them with the soft touches, lingering kisses and teasing whispers that he has held back out of respect and belief that they were nothing more than just friends, co-workers, allies. That is, if they would be mentally ready as he notices how fidgety and flushed they became at the simple gesture of affection. Yeah, he’ll go slow with them for sure, but he was nothing but excited.

✦ Lycaon cares dearly for his proxy and always attempts to keep things professional between the two. However, it proves difficult when they always depend on them when working together, always seeking him out and giving him the time of day while others probably wouldn’t. He holds them closely to his heart, so anytime they call on him, he’s at attention and can’t help but have to hold back the need to kneel before them and pledge loyalty there. Which would have made them more nervous and flushed when they ask about what they are.

✦ Of course, they’ve noticed his attention to detail in their mannerism and how he’s always stepping up to help them should they grow to shy to order or help solve their problem they thought dumb and meaningless. They are scared of ruining this little bond of theirs, but Von could only assure them that their feelings are true, that he would be an idiot should he not accept their confession as he too has nothing but love filled for them. He compromised that they’ll still hold a professional work relationship but in private, he’d want nothing more than to be theirs.

✦ The way they blush and start fidgeting with a strand of hair, he hadn’t noticed how his tail swayed happily despite the calm and clear demeanor he displayed. The mere motion made them only awe at how cute he was, taking his gloved hand as he lifted it towards his muzzle. The lightest of kisses on the back of their hand, skin warmed at the touch as he only stares with those dark red eyes of his. Piercing as to say they were his as he is theirs, a bond stronger than human- one of the beast and their tamer.

[billythesimp]

Uhmmm... Billy and Lycaon with a Therian!reader who always nonchalantly (trying to be) fixes their hair/clothes!! I honestly think that's something cute and intimate between Therians and it's low-key a confession from reader

I cackled at the thought of a Thiren grooming and fixing up Billy. My man would both love and hate it.

Neat and Tidy

⋘ 𝑙𝑜𝑎𝑑𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑑𝑎𝑡𝑎…

I will apologize in advance if Von's part is longer then Billy's. After all, they are just headcanons but also I figured that Billy wouldn't know how to respond to such a thing as he's an android while Von himself is a thiren.

Also it is thiren or therian? I can never tell and I've seen both.

Billy / Lycaon x Thiren-gn!reader

𝑃𝑙𝑒𝑎𝑠𝑒 𝑤𝑎𝑖𝑡…⋙

tw: none

✦ With Billy, he only gets mildly annoyed when they are combing back his hair and closing up his jacket at times because of the ‘wind’. Though he does like that they are thinking about his appearance from time to time. He is a pretty good looking mech, he takes pride in his looks from time to time so if he found out his hair was unkempt and a bit messy, he would want someone to tell him for sure. But they were starting to become overbearing in his eyes that he would pout and whine whenever they would start tending to him in public.

✦ He jumps at their touch everytime, muttering quietly that they don’t always have to be babying him from time to time and that it’s a choice, but they don’t listen at times and don’t stop until he is presting and clean. Eventually he just brushed it off as a quirk of theirs despite the fact that no one else in their team got this similar treatment. It’s not until Nekomata told him something rather odd that made him rethink everything he’d known about them. At first he didn’t understand, what did she mean by how he was so lucky that he had someone who cared so much about him to groom him often?

✦ She thought he was joking at first, but it clicked that he was just dumb and really hadn’t noticed, so she held back on telling him so he would ask them himself. He can’t help but wonder what Neko meant by that, cue the therian mentioned before coming over and tsking at Billy before scolding him about his jackets collar and keeping his cuffs even. The more they go on, he can’t help but put two and two together and start to overheat from how cute they were being all this time.

✦ Since Lycaon was a thiren himself, he knows the mannerisms of his fellow kind. They vary depending on the species but they all fit under some umbrella of shared habits. That being said, he always gets a little flustered when they come up to him and mention that his red tissue is uneven in his pocket, reaching out to fixed it along with any little thing they can get their hands on. While he could have done it himself, a small part of him loves the thought of being doted on, and so lets them do as they please before thanking them. 

✦ They do this often, helping him fix himself up before making appearances or after a job well done, having rough housed a little leaving him a little messy. And Von isn’t one to own another being, so he returns the favor by smoothing out their skirts and shirts, finding an excuse to fix their cuffs to linger his hands over theirs. The way they grow flushed and thank him which only leaves him with a hint of excitement. If he could, he would take them into his office to properly groom them but he thinks that that would be too far. Move at your pace, he thinks, though if they offer to help fluff up his tail he wouldn’t refuse. 

✦ Of course, it isn’t unusual for either of them to fix up the other girls when needed. They are often thought of as the parent figures of Victorian Housekeeping, so seeing them get along well with their little preening sessions and cute moments of fixing each other's clothing. It leaves little to the imagination as Corwin and Ellen have at least spoken about when they would come out and announce that they’re dating. And while Lycaon spends more time with them and hears about this, he can’t deny his urge to ask them out and properly court them. But he wants to hear it from them first.

[billythesimp]

*BASHES DOWN DOOR* I HEARD RQ WERE OPEN

Okay here me out, Lycaon with a rabbit or cat (you decide) thiren that tried to argue with him at any chance they get. But that's because they don't know how else to act around him because of their HUGE crush on him. Basically you're typical tsundere.

That's about it, BACK INTO MY CORNER. NO PRESSURE TO DO THIS AND TAKE YOUR TIME BESTIE

-AJ🐺

Well, Well, Well~ [insert evil laughter here]

If it isn't my fellow proxy, AJ. Thank you for leaving me a request, I do appreciate the support so I put my whole Badussy into this request.

Smooches, see you soon!

Cat And Dog Fights

⋘ 𝑙𝑜𝑎𝑑𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑑𝑎𝑡𝑎…

Before I started detailing this request, I did a funny 10 pull on the standard banner. I now have C1 Von, so I dedicate this post for the good luck of those who want Von Lycaon to come home. Bless Bless, Wolf ass.

Lycaon x Cat-Thiren-gn!reader

𝑃𝑙𝑒𝑎𝑠𝑒 𝑤𝑎𝑖𝑡…⋙

tw: Little OOc, mention of Rina's cooking /j

✦ Lycaon likes to think himself a patient man- or werewolf. He can handle Corwin’s self deprecation. He can handle Ellen’s overwhelming bored and teen rebellious phase. Rina’s cooking and antics, I’m pretty sure he puts up with, though barely. However, with this new addition to their team, he acknowledges the huge- HUGE elephant in the room. This cat thirens disobedience and clear dislike towards him, their boss. And while it’s fine when it’s outside the job, they work efficiently and swiftly when on their jobs, though they always seek to peeve him off at times, a cunning glare in their eyes when they look back at him, how they run forwards to finish his own enemies as to show off. It’s their defiance that creates problems as he can’t help but think they are trying to prove that their are better. 

✦ And usually he won’t complain, after all he hired them for their potential and knows what he’s getting into, but lately they’ve been chipping away at his patients, their coy antics getting under his fur, having to restrain a low growl when they purposely interrupt him or act out of line in front of guest or their masters. The reason Rina can only giggle behind her palm while staring at the two of them stare each other down, another one of their pity arguments being the center of attention. Creative backhanded compliments shared between the two as Corwin tries to calm the two, Ellen holding the girl back in amusement.

✦ Honestly, Lycaon can’t help but be slightly disappointed, he sees his employees as family, so to see one with a clear disdain for him makes him pout in private, seeming gloomy as his tail thumps and ears pinned back. Rina has to comfort him, all the while encouraging him to cheer up. Offering him a meal which he refuses, stating he wasn’t hungry. Though Rina can only ask that he give it his best try to be the bigger person and treat them kindly, for they don’t know what they could be going through.

✦ That being said, Rina is hiding more then she’s leading on, one second in Lycaon’s office to comfort him and then another in a private sitting quarters with said Cat thiren, brushing their hair and scratching behind their ears while listening to their childish rant- more like them denying their feelings. 

▿

While sitting before Rina’s small puppets, they paw and rack the little phantoms on their heads, watching them evade their attacks before being pulled back towards Rina’s lap. Having to sit still was difficult enough, but Rina promised to comb their hair and get it nice and pleasant for their next trip. “Ah, you need to take better care of yours. Lycaon will scold you if your headpiece isn’t perfectly centered- or in one piece in general.” She giggled before properly setting the cutest fabric on their head and giving their ears a little scratch.

“Eh, who cares what he thinks. He can just fix it himself if it bothers him so much.” With a hiss, their tail thumps besides them before they use it as a distraction from their overwhelming thoughts on said werewolf. “Oh, I think you do actually care about his thoughts on you.”

“Ehehe- Yeah you do!”

“Sir Lycaon, did you see that! Hehehe”

“Oh Sir Lycaon, see how great I am!”

“Great! Great!”

“H-HEY SHUT IT!” The cat hisses at the teasing from the little boos, Drusilla and Anastella spinning around before returning to Rina’s figure, avoiding the nasty glare said cat was giving them. “Now, now kitty. No more fighting- you already do enough of that with Von,” Smiling before moving them to sit upright, the figure before her slumping again and leaving her to adjusting them again til they stay, “Though, you know if it’s attention and praise you want, maybe fighting less with the boss would actually get you the results you want.”

“Pffm, as if.” They only pout to themselves, muttering quietly as Rina takes out a needle and starts stichting up their uniform where little tears and rips had formed. Whether from their battles or their tendies to claw at the fabric when they don’t know what to do with their hands. “Even if I wanted it, I don’t even know what I would say…”

“Oh, and what makes you think that kitty? Von would be more than delighted to compliment your achievements, after all he looks highly of you. You’re an amazing servant here, he couldn’t be more proud of your growth. He told me himself.” While she gushed her Boss’s supposed claims, the thiren’s tail swayed quicker then before, the adorable pout on their face turned into that of an embarrassed frown, afraid to speak out of fear of word vomiting. “Oh Kitty, promise you’ll try to be nicer to Lycaon. As much as I adore your little cat-dog fights, I would like it if you both got along much more.” 

They yelp as Rina ‘accidently’ poked them with the needle, ears flatten as they only mumble out a silent promise. Blushing as they think of how they could try to be nicer, distracted at how Lycaon would react to their change in demeanor, tail returning to playfully bat Rina’s hand while lost in deep thought.

▿

✦ After this conversation, Lycaon finally notices the little changes in their Cat’s behavior. Offering a hand in his tasks, though they still have their little backhanded comments, they are obedient nonetheless. He could tell that they seem to be warming up to him again, not running away from him as much and willing to calm down and listen instead of enlightening another fight between wolf and cat. Really, He’s glad they have improved since then, also making an effort to respect his fellow thiren and help them however he can. 

✦ He sees how much they enjoy the headpats and scratches the girls give them, how they have a subtle purr from the affection and praise they give them. So after a mission complete, satisfied with their work today, he gives them a little head pat and congratulates them on the great. While at first they don’t respond at first, tired from the day's events, they suddenly perk up and jolt away, rambling an indescribable comment and turning tail to run off into their safe house. He can only tilt his head, tail wagging as he couldn’t help but enjoy just how soft their hair is.

[billythesimp]

Hello, writer! Sorry to bother you. I really like your "x reader" works, they are amazing.. I really can't even find the words to describe my admiration.

(⁄ ⁄•⁄ω⁄•⁄ ⁄) Anyway, I have an idea. Can I request Anton and Lycaon (separately) with short reader? (preferably male, but gender neutral is also ok!) Reader has no physical strength , he is the "Brain of the team", and therefore in dangerous moments he need to be protected.

If you don't like the request, then feel free to skip it! Take care of yourself, don't forget to rest :"3

[Grasping my chest while gritting my teeth, a faint pink on my skin]

I got a compliment- I fucken love you- 💞💞💖💖

[Is proceeded to get bonked with a shoe, an annoyed Bangboo staring at their sibling human in disbelief]

Ahem- thank you very much! hell works hard but ZZZ writers work faster.

Short Stuff

⋘ 𝑙𝑜𝑎𝑑𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑑𝑎𝑡𝑎…

Man, I love Anton. If I could I would marry him. So this can seem a little goof, goofy writing since I try to distinct the boys and the reader from time to time, hopefully it's to your liking!

Anton / Lycaon x Short-Male!Reader

𝑃𝑙𝑒𝑎𝑠𝑒 𝑤𝑎𝑖𝑡…⋙

tw: none?

✦ Being short has its pros, especially in the Hollows as you're usually a smaller target and can sneak around easier. Which is convenient since they’re not the strongest of the bunch, only really having enough to get them by the heavy lifting that is rarely called upon them to deal with. Really, he works in finances and research on the construction site, being another pair of eyes for Koleda to call upon should she need more supervision on their projects, how Anton caught their attention was beyond their understanding. Yet, Anton is always seeking them out personally before dragging them along into his little crew.

✦ Because of this, he loves to use them as an armrest for his arm or sometimes; his bro. Of course if you're a friend of Anton, you're a friend of his bro, and so far his bro really likes him, always roaring at the sight of him whenever they go out to find them. From the looks of it, he is ok with Anton’s bro, though there have been times where Anton’s bro has at least jumpscared him from behind when sneaking up on them. They both got a good scolding from him. 

✦ As mentioned before, he does go into the hollows with the crew from time to time, mainly as an observer and informant. They aren’t the strongest and so they can’t really help out a lot unless it’s along the lines of carrying files or pushing storage carts around. If Anton is ever with them, best believe that any heavy lifting is his work, never letting his ‘bro’ carry anything as he doesn’t want them to strain their muscles. Really it’s an excuse to be of help to them and have a casual conversation; As if they don’t do that enough. But combat- no, they aren’t fit for those kind of situations. 

✦ Hence when a sudden ethereal attack happens on the crew on site, everyone is at alarm before running for safety. At that moment, he’s not able to escape in time before getting trapped between cargo and boxes of shipment, tucked behind it as they hear the eerie distorted growls of the creatures lurking around the corners. But the roar of a powerful hand drill cuts through the air as Anton leaps into the fight, yelling for him to run to safety with a clear opening. Moving along in a hurry, the two regroup with the workers as another group is dispatched to clear the site once again so they could return to work. That is after everyone is taken back for a health inspection.

✦ Anton is by his side the entire time as they recount what resources were destroyed, workers on the roster and whatnot to Koleda, sticking to his side incase they suddenly feel faint after being exposed to ethereals at that close range. While he’s convinced it’s cuz he wants to make sure his bro is alright, in reality he was worried when he spotted them in the attack and leaped into action to protect them. Losing him would be like losing his bro, someone he cared dearly for. He would make sure he was safe no matter what, because that’s how much he meant to him.

✦ Working with Lycaon is like working with someone of equal stature. If you had to pick who the leading figures of Victorian Housekeeping are, they’d say you and Lycaon. The both of you work diligently with every commission and assignment, like clockwork with how they’re able to move in sync. Should Lycaon need someone to relay information regarding any subject, he’d turn to him. In a similar fashion, should you need someone to deal with our reconsense or transferring larger packages and items, Lycaon is more than willing to lead his strength.

✦ Admittedly, Lycaon has offered to help him grow some more muscle here and there, as well as develop a suitable fighting style. The times the two had gone to a gym to practice, Lycaon can’t help but put his hands on them. Of course, he’s only lending a hand in guiding them through their practices, but seeing how small and slim they are in some areas, he could only wonder if he’s taking good care of himself. This only leads him to wonder if he should monitor their diet as well to ensure they are getting the right amount of nutrients. 

✦ When Von needs help with anything, he’ll always go to them as he is confidence in their ability to complete any task with perfection. And anytime he thanks them or even praises Lycaon for a job well-done, he can’t help but twitch his ears and fluff up his tail a little out of pride. Lycaon makes an effort to help all his workers, as a boss it’s only right to look after them, however Rina has teased him for picking favorites. It’s not his fault you ask him for his height when they needed something on the top shelf. He swore those plates were never that high up. 

✦ Within the hollows should they dare venture in, he works more in the back as support. Comming any details within the area and alerting the group of any potential dangers. Also a technical genius, they are in charge of any computers and machinery, though Lycaon stands close by should anything go awry. He looms over them, sometimes asking them about how they are processing it or updating them on their surroundings. Should anything come up, he’d always request they take cover ‘just case’ before swiftly dealing with the issue. 

✦ The way he pulls them behind him, Lycaon will work like a monster to keep him safe. The thought of their smaller figure curled up beneath the enemy only motivating him to stay close and keep them in his line of sight. Von will not be having any close calls with his staff, let alone him. Every instance they enter a new layer of the hollow or step into a new room, he’ll always reach behind him to feel for their smaller hands, only satisfied once he can feel them trailing right behind him.

hello wonderful writer! may i humbly request a fem reader who's very independent and strong-willed cow!thiren with lycaon? she works with the victorian housekeeping crew, and generally takes combat related jobs.

I'm so sorry if I butchered this. I could not for the life of me figure out how to write this. But Cow thirens sounded so cute wahhhh!

Watch the Horns, Master

⋘ 𝑙𝑜𝑎𝑑𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑑𝑎𝑡𝑎…

I love thiren's they are all so cool. I think my favorites from the game are these two office ladies who you can find in the afternoon in front of the flower shop in Lumina square. They are like sister's kinda and are just full cats. I think they are cats at least.

Lycaon x Cow-Thiren-fem!reader

𝑃𝑙𝑒𝑎𝑠𝑒 𝑤𝑎𝑖𝑡…⋙

tw: none

✦ Being a cow thiren, people consider her to be very cute and very fragile, just one glance of her and people don’t assume anything other than a sweet, little maid who only wants to please their master. When in reality, the horns on your head are nothing more but a part of your deadly weapon, turning cold and stern once her true purpose is revealed. Her whole personality is what draws Lycaon in. 

✦ Lycaon adores how efficient and committed she is with her commissions. No matter the mission, the client, or the hollow, they never back down and hold themselves on a higher pedestal that nothing can hurt them. Just because they are smaller and more vulnerable, they aren’t a being to look down on. No upset guest who threatens their work or filthy ethereal who hungers for her life will stop her as she is an impenetrable force. So Lycaon puts many expectations on her, having them take up the more complicated tasks at her own request. 

✦As a reward for her well done jobs, he often treats her to her favorite snacks and obviously a well-off paycheck. He’s taken time to get a better understanding for his employees, but with her he takes the time to make her feel welcome and included. Despite her denial of having no interest in joining the crew in their daily interactions and activities, he can tell that she does long to be included and join in the fun, drowning herself in work and managing Corwin and Ellen as a supportive older sister figure. 

✦ In combat, she makes an effort to ensure everything goes to plan. Keeping a close eye on her team while providing a shield of sorts that will protect the girls and man from any danger. She’s very much a more physical fighter as once again, benign a cow thiren makes her a lot tougher than most so she’s worked out to gain that sleeper build. A routine that she’s sometimes worked with alongside Von in the gym or their own private sparring sessions. So every battle, she gives it her all, fighting hoof and nail to take out any imposing figure in her path, in a graceful manner if you will to upkeep the image of what a maid from Victorian Housekeeping is really all about.

[billythesimp]

Hello, I really enjoy your work, it's written very nicely! I was wondering if you perhaps write some head-canons of wise x reader, and what Wise is like when he's clingy himself/how he shows his love with you. Thank you!

Stay Close with me

⋘ 𝑙𝑜𝑎𝑑𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑑𝑎𝑡𝑎…

I realize that this interpretations does make Wise sound OOc so I will preface that these are just headcanons, fanon if you will. It's the thought that counts!

Wise x gn!reader

𝑃𝑙𝑒𝑎𝑠𝑒 𝑤𝑎𝑖𝑡…⋙

tw: OOc

✦ Wise isn’t you typical boyfriend. While he does enjoy his own time alone, coding and watching his ‘boring’ documentary films, he still makes time for his s/o. When he gets the chance, he’ll whisk them away to his room for cuddles and even have a mini movie night together, or they take time off of work to go shopping and sightseeing around town. Really, sharing his time with you and doing what you want is his way of showing love and affection at times, since he’s always busy with work and his Proxy research. 

✦ If he’s feeling extremely lonely or you’ve been neglecting him for your own job (that’s saying that you don’t work at the studio with Wise and Belle- Wise has probably tried to convince you to so you can see each other more.), he takes it upon himself to go out and find you. Maybe even buying lunch for the two of you and forcing you to spend your break with him. But if you’re talking with a coworker-or any random guy- he’ll watch from afar until you notice him. The smug look on his face when the other person sees how important he is to you only makes him proud of your boyfriend.

✦ He likes it when you invade his personal space, sit in his lap while he plays with your hair. Hug him behind when he’s working the counter at his job and mumble into his back. He loves it when you are just near him or holding onto him, he feels needed and wanted. Of course, the both of you have boundaries and know when to display PDA and when not to, but he can’t help it if he needs to pull you into the backroom to destress from some bad interaction with a customer or low energy from socializing. Belle can take care of the store for a little.

✦ When giving gifts, Wise is very observant when it comes to things you’ve mentioned wanting in the past. He’s careful with what he buys, thinking about how you would react or consider what sentimental value it’d hold when you receive it. And he doesn;t hand them out at random. He waits for the perfect occasion where he knows that you’d appreciate it and cherish what he gives you. Anniversaries, a promotion at work, graduation from school or online courses, birthdays and holidays. He wants you to remember how happy you were, how you are at your peak when you receive a gift he knows will make you smile brightly when looking at it.

✦ Really he’s a great boyfriend. Supportive, affectionate, considerate and thoughtful. He does his best to make you happy and wouldn’t want it any other way. Nothing gets past Wise, his eyes see all and if he could record the memory of you he would in a heartbeat and save it in a hard drive to cherish forever.

Can you do romantic headcanons for a Billy Kid x Android!Reader that is doll-like, lives in Tin Master's cafe, works alongside Victoria's Housekeeping, and fights with a fencing sword please?

Billy, my starlight. My king of robotics and weaponry. Yes, I can do so for you.

Coffee Cup Love

⋘ 𝑙𝑜𝑎𝑑𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑑𝑎𝑡𝑎…

I love Tin Master's shop. Imma always complain that you can't get another cup of coffee from either locations after having one. Like how do you know I had a cup on sixth street? let me talk to management if y'all are stalking me.

Billy x Android!reader

✦ It’s a surprise to the proxies when they are introduced to Billy’s significant other who worked at their local coffee shop. The Victorian servant outfit they wear stands out as they greet them before offering them a cup of their newest brew. Billy is standing on the side, fawning over how gracefully they turn and bend, all their movements coordinated smoothly like that of a perfectly poured expresso.

✦He mentioned how they first met in a hollow, during on of his missions for the Cunning Hares, he ended up trapped and lost for what felt like hours. Then, like a beacon of hope the ethereals that were on his tail were sliced to bits, his heroin standing before him with a long-pointed blade aimed at his face. He only stared in awe before stumbling over his words to thank them properly.

✦ At first, they were standoffish, confused as to why this android male was guessing over them like so, proclaiming as glamorous as a starlight knight, rushing towards battle with nothing but their fences in hand, their uniform clean and prestige Lycaon would have their head should they return dirtied like last time. No long after then, he finally left the hollow and the mystery android-servant disappeared. 

✦ Shortly after, he spotted them in Tin Master’s shop and rushed in spouting how he recognized them. Staying for a cup and chatting with them. This became a regular thing before long, the maidroid looking forward to his visits until he popped the question and asked them out. They said yes, warmed at the thought of going out with this handsome droid and now to the present, they are one of the cutest couples to date.

✦ Since they are part-time at the coffee shop, the rest of their time is spent at the Victorian Housekeeping warehouse nearby, often texting Billy about their day or making plans for another movie date. Their own co-workers grow surprised by this revelation as in the past, they showed no interest in making connections or even taking a person as their parent. But they only shrug and state that their AI is simply more advanced and adapts to change faster. Really it’s that Billy had brought down a wall and revealed a side of them they hadn’t realized they loved. 

✦ At this point, they remember all his favorite scenes from his most watched films, his favorite brand of lubricant for his guns and joints, and all the places he frequents often whenever he mentions his days. While yes, they are a perfect machine made for scalping and slicing down their targets with grace and pose, when they are with Billy they are nothing more than his perfect doll, pretty and patient with his antics and laughing at all his jokes. Every moment spend with each other is once they hold dearly to their circuit boards, hoping to recover these memories in the future to look back on.

✦ They are unique and complement Billy well, while he’s sometimes seen as intimidating and mysterious to the outsiders eyes, they’re beautiful and polite that anyone can stare with no fear but rather admiration. When in reality, he is easygoing and a little careless while they are known as a monster with their thin-piercing blades, a threat to anyone who dares come between them and their Billy. Together they are fierce in battle, having each others back when the going gets rough. And even outside of battle, they are a power couple, a force to be reckoned with.

Yo! Your work has interested me very much. I'm also glad that the rules are detailed, it makes it easier to make a request.

Can I request Wise and Belle (separately) with reader who likes to cuddle? The reader literally becomes a koala ; on a walk he loves to hold hands or just be close. It is true happiness to be in the arms of a loved one~If you don't like the request, then feel free to skip it !

[Stares lovingly at a photo card]

Oh to cuddle the babies. But it is just a dream~

⋘ 𝑙𝑜𝑎𝑑𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑑𝑎𝑡𝑎…

I always like to do the little domestic pieces with characters, you can really explore how they would act. Also love giving Wise and Belle some attention!

tw: none

✦ Wise is the perfect height to be clinged on. I don’t think he’ll mind being pressed up against, if anything he’d pull you closer if in public. His excuse is so you don’t get lost or that other pedestrians can walk by without running into you both. But you don’t mind, in fact you’ll play with his fingers when he does this, clutching his sleeve or swinging his arm beside each other. The physical contact makes him happy, tightening his hold on you,afraid you’d grow cold if he lets you go.

✦ When cuddling, I find that Wise’s room is very relaxing and would probably have speakers around so while you both are laying together on his large bedding, you could play some relaxing ambience noise that help you both fall asleep. That or he plays his documentary on his Tv, allowing you to crawl up on his chest and wrap around his waist to stay close by.

✦ His slim fingers run through your hair, scratching at your scalp in a soothing rhythm before traveling down to your neck and back. Rubbing circles over your shirts before pressing kisses on your forehead and temples. You can’t see it but he’s just staring fondly at how peaceful you are, should you snore he chuckles to himself and wipes away any drool you might have. 

✦ When he’s the cuddler, he’s a grumpy riser so his defense is to groan in your ear and curl up around you so don’t have a chance to leave. He could pin you to his chest, your back to him so he can tickle your sides and wrap around your stomach, his hands warm on your exposed skin. Taking in your scent as he nuzzles into your neck, complaining about how it’s too early to get up and that he wants to stay like this a little longer.

✦ Sweet girl, she’s hold your hand as she drags you around to her favorite shops. Fingers intertwined before occasionally leaving kisses on your knuckles, a joyful smile on her face as you laugh at her mannerisms. Skipping side by side, whenever you want to go somewhere you’ll wrap an arm around her shoulder and gently lead her away, seeing how she’s shorter than you so she willingly follows your lead.

✦ Personally, I love Belle’s room as it’s a fun vibe all around. Though messy, with the two of you guys cuddling on the bed, she can’t help but think she’s constantly showing you memes on her phone or any news update on inter-knot. You both are wired in together, sometimes Eous joining the both of you on the bed for a mild recharge, Belle teasing his ears while you squish his little arms. 

✦Belle is a deep sleeper, so should she fall asleep on the couch while you both are watching a movie, you can carry her back to her bed. Though in her sleep, she’ll pull you in and have you sleep in with her, forcing herself into your chest as she feels secure in your arms and yawning loudly with a smile on her face. Sweet dreams for her, surrounded by your embrace and smell.

✦ Between the two of you, your both kinda starfish sleepers. The difference being that Belle will lay on top of you, your arms holding her like a plushie that breathes and is warm. She’s always the little spoon, trapped in your arms that you both always decide that you aren't getting up today. But she’ll never miss the opportunity to wake up beside you, lovingly starting as she tucks your hair back from your face.

Hellooo! I've seen your work and i was really amazed by your work. It's just pure mwah 🤌🏻❤️

tw: OOC / Use of [Name] instead of Y/N

✦ Usually customers were not a big problem at Random Play, with the experience he had gained from being a store manager leading to him adapting to the more tougher requests and issues it came with. He keeps a calm face and offers solutions to many people's problems. And a lot of the time, they are satisfied with his care that regulars swear that Belle and Wise are some of the efficient and caring managers there are. They never get mad or yell, the handle almost every interaction with care and patience. Because of that, Wise prides himself in having gained that reputation on Sixth Street. 

✦ What he also has pride in is what a wonderful girlfriend he has working alongside them. Almost everyone they work with or know on the street know of Wise’s Girlfriend. While she may only work part time during the week, she’s made an effort in getting to know Wise’s connections and making friendly conversation with their fellow vendors on the street. Every time Wise sees her chatting up with their regulars or laughing with someone like General Chops or Master Tin, he can’t help but have his heart swell in joy that they really are such a great person and that everyone approves of them already. Really, Wise believes he scored with this one, the amount of times Belle has joked about them getting married may happen sooner rather than later. 

▿

That being said, it’s during one of the shop’s working hours that it happened. He decided to take inventory of what stock they had around the store, [Name] incharge of manning the counter as Bangboo 18 needed a well-deserved recharge. But as he was shelving some recordings, he heard the angelic laughter of his love that left him wondering just what they could have been laughing at. Peeking out the slot of the staff door, he watched as some random man leaned on the counter. He held a smug look on his face as she only waved him off, a pleasant yet confused smile on their face leaving a growing pit to form in his stomach. 

‘Who the hell is he?’

Wise straightened up his jacket before walking outside to see what they had been talking about. “Oh come now, don’t be so modest. After all, a pretty face like yours surely is what keeps this business going. Why not take a break, how about we get some lunch together after your break- eh?”

“Oh hey babe, how’s the counter treating ya?” Wise saddled up to the counter with his hand hovering over the small of their back, watching as they relaxed at his touch. “Oh- Wise! It’s been good, um. Do you know if we have this movie in stock by chance? I couldn’t find it on the system…” She tucked a hair behind her ear, smiling before letting him slide in and take a look on their small tablet holding all their movies listed in rented/overdue/in-house. The man before stepped back as he did this, slowly getting nervous. 

“Ah- yeah, I looked around and couldn’t find it. Hehe…”

“Hmm, oh [Name], you’re due for your break. I can watch things from here.” She perks up at this, smiling before asking him about sharing lunch together again. “I’m down for sandwiches- OH we could get to 141 and grab some snacks. I’ll go now actually!” With that, she entered the staff only only to return after with her purse and kissing him goodbye, waving to the stranger and wishing him luck with his movie search. 

“Hmm, sorry sir, Looks like what you’re looking for isn’t here. Could I recommend anything else for you? Perhaps something that isn’t already someone else’s property?” Wise sneers at the stranger, a kind-hearted look plastered onto his face despite the dark tone in his voice that only left the man to shiver at his work.

“Um, looks like it's not here… I’ll be going then.”

“Oh, please do.” With a wave, Wise’s closed eye smile turned into a deathly glare as he left and walked the opposite way from where [Name] had gone. Once he figured that he wouldn’t be coming back anytime soon, he let out a sigh of relief and slumped down. The one time he leaves his girlfriend alone and someone already tries to make a move on them. 

“Well that was a sight, huh?”

Belle entered from the backdoor, playfully teasing her brother as he reeled back in shock out of her sudden timing, all the while Eous runs up to his second parent and leaves comforting pats on his legs. “What happened with [Name]? I thought she was watching the front for me?” Wise sighs before muttering out a small explanation, embarrassed as he never lost his cool like this before. Other than the time Belle got lost in a Hollow, he's never overreacted to this extent. He’s only glad that it was Belle and not [Name] who entered, he wouldn’t know how she’d react if she realized he was jealous and became protective of them.

“Way to show who’s the boss around here. Man, I kinda wish I could have seen it.” 

“Master, I have full access to the store camera’s and save every recording for the next 30 days until removal. I can pull it up on the H.D.D System for you.” Before Wise could refuse, Belle is already running into the Staff room to save the recording before it was too late. 

“Wise! I’m back! And I got your favorites!”

The bell rang as [Name]’s cheering caught his attention while they held up two small bags filled with various candies and snacks. He could only smile, approaching them and pulling them into a tight hug. “Thanks love, I really appreciate it. Now how about we watch a movie in my room for a while, huh?”

He is only grateful that he has such a loving and thoughtful girlfriend by his side.

⋈ Wise is used to all kinds of people in both kinds of works, whether it’s helping a client in the hollows or approaching a customer to recommend a new tape they figured would be to their liking. No matter the person, he is able to adapt to their personality and knows that better than to judge a person by their looks. He has an eye for these kinds of things, picking up on the littlest details of his customers which makes him a great salesman when it comes to film options. 

⋈ When he started taking an interest on one of the regular at the shop, he was thrown for a loop when he first laid his eyes on them. In a way, they reminded him of Ellen a bit, a very low energy personality who looked around the place with hooded eyes and a ‘Don’t approach me’ attitude. Their clothing choice was also interesting to say the least, wearing different monochromatic articles that could run from looking like a mess of nets and off-shoulder tops to high waisted skirts paired with long trench coat vibes.

⋈ Of course, the many times they come by they only view the tapes and even are with a group of friends from the looks, everyone being the complete opposite of what they seem like, cheerful and bubbly they stand out with a serious case of RBF. [Resting-Bitch-Face] But that makes him even more intrigued, who is this person and what are they like. How do they attract such bright people despite their gloomy-gothic approach? He figures this out one day when they come into his shop looking for something, walking out of the staff only room to find them at the counter.

▿

“Oh, sorry for the wait. Could I help you with something?” 

They only scratch at their cheek, eyes wandering away from Wise’s gaze before presenting a film in hand. “Uh, yeah. Could I rent out this tape?” He only looked down at the tape in question, the genre surprising him to say the least. “Oh sure. Just Oh~ Sweetie today?” The nervously nod, a faint blush painting their cheeks like dapped out watercolors. He rang it up, smiling to himself before handing over the tape. 

“Alright, you’re all set. The return policy is usually a week from today, but feel free to drop by anytime before then. There’s a fee for late returns, but feel free to call the store if you have any questions. Thank you for your business.” Their eyes gleamed in excitement as they held the case in hand, Wise could almost see the sparkles emitting off of them before they waved him bye with a sheepish smile blessing his vision. Once out the store, he could only stare before smiling to himself again.

⋈ Since then, he is always greeting them while also discussing new films that would be to their liking. Mainly ranging from rom-coms to fantasy-adventure, he has gotten to knowing them to the point where they’ve become close friends. Wise enjoys their conversations as they always mention their favorite part of the tapes; he recommends them with childlike innocence, glowing brightly with a cheerful disposition. They invite him out sometimes when he’s clocked out for break, treating him to noodles or listening to some new records across the street. Another place they are a regular at, learning more about their interesting taste in music that fits their aesthetic.

▿

He’s asked about your lifestyle once, giving him a nervous response while twiddling with your fingers. “Ah, well, I get that question a lot. I always had a fascination with gothic fashion and the aesthetic as a whole, so I wanted to express my love for the art form by wearing what I found comfortable. People are surprised when I mention that, but many people I’ve met say that it’s really cool, so I continue to express myself freely- sorry, I’m probably rambling now.” Your yapping slowing into a nonsensible muttering which Wise assures them that he doesn’t mind it one bit.

“Well, I think you're pretty- neat! It’s pretty neat, so I can’t argue with you on that.” He nodded along, seeing how they only skipped beside him with renewed confidence. “Thank you, Wise!”

⋈ Whenever he’s out and about, should he spot them in their usual circle or looming over a display alone, despite the aura they have hovering over them he still makes it a habit to call out to them. The moment before and after they spot him makes his heart flutter, how they look over with a subtle glare before perking up and grinning cheekily and waving him over. Really, it’s a sight to behold.

⋈ Maybe one day they’ll be more than friends, but neither of them would admit it. No number of soft touches and gentle smiles will push them to confess their little attraction to one another. So for now they’ll cuddle up on his bed while watching another film. As friends, yeah really close friends.

tw: complete fluff

✦ Can you imagine how cute it would be for Ben to have this tiny house wife, someone half his size that when you compare the two side by side you can’t help but wonder- How did they end up together? I like to imagine that to the outside view you have Ben, a big gruff guy who looks scary and has this glare to him that makes people shiver at first glance. And there you have Ben when his wife calls for him, his eye getting a small sparkle as he gently turns to them and asks what he can help them with, ears twitching as they hand him some bags of groceries or reach out to hold his hand. HE WOULD LOVE HIS WIFE, SUCH A SWEETHEART.

✦ Coming home from work, he would yell out for his wife, waiting until they come pattering down the hall to give him a huge hug, one that has him picking them up with a twirl and caring them to the sofa. She peppers kisses on his face and scared face, brushing his fur back and picking out the small gravel and dust from his paws. He is all sparkles and blush as he’s in pure bliss in his wife's presence. Becoming a mindless drone as they order him to take a long, warm shower to clean up before dinner, taking his jacket and hanging it up as it wasn’t that dirty. He can’t wait to relax after a days work, wife in hands as he tells them about his day, her hands working on drying his fur off with his towel the way he likes it.

✦ She loves having her big boy well taken care of and so makes an effort to make him his favorites in larger portions. Always offering him seconds which he won’t refuse due to his large appetite. Though he has mentioned that he does feel guilty as he seems to be growing too large and needs to cut back from time to time to help keep his fit. Her response; She doesn’t care that he’s getting a little more chubby, if anything she’d feign innocent as to how he’s been gaining weight so fast all the while serving him a rather large bowl of homemade ramen. But if he makes a special request for dinner or lunch, she’ll listen because she still loves Ben and cares about his wants. His lunches are often made cutely, with little pins and adorable faces of seaweed, Koleda and Grace have often spoken about how jealous they are of his wife’s cooking. If she knew Ben’s friends loved her little bento’s she would 100% make them for them as well. Maybe even come by herself to hand deliver them and get an excuse to see her hubby at work.

✦ Best cuddler in the colder climates, Ben is a walking heat source so he will always be the bigger spoon with his little wife. Though due to his size they compromise cuddling and sleeping habits to having her lay on his stomach and curl up around him. He always falls asleep with a smile from her touches fluttering around his chest and arms, an angel in his arms. You both don’t need to sleep in covers since he’s already warm as it is. Waking up is a process though, in order to make breakfast and his lunch for work, she does have to fight to escape his bear hug on her. That and sometimes the claw marks from how tight he holds her in his sleep.

✦ Due to Ben’s limited sight, he often loses things easily so while she will hand him his glasses to better see for a while, she’s always tasking herself to finding what it is he is looking for at home. The smile he gets when she hands him a pencil/ his newspaper/ records for work that he almost left behind, what he would be without his wife. Her reward, a grizzly kiss that leaves her giggling at how ticklish it is. Ben probably would have been in trouble at work had he not had his wife reminding him of his files.

tw: slight angst? , very much fluff

While some workers were clearing out the rubble of another one of their machine’s drills. They followed the protocol given to them for a safe work environment within the hollows- protective gear, keeping an eye on their environment, and most important of all; Watching out for any ethereal in the area. While cleaning and prepping their machines, an alarm for distress goes off somewhere, some nearby workers giving each other a look before calling in for a higher up to join in their inspection.

It wasn’t abnormal for machines to break or require maintenance, but since their tech was highly advanced and used rather expensive parts, it was always important to check in if a distress signal was real or another one of Grace’s children having another outburst. After all, they did have that incident a couple of weeks ago, they couldn’t be sure until they really looked.

Upon further inspection of where they left the boring machine in question, a worker gasps as they pull out their walkie talkie, another rushing forward on the scene as their boring machine along with another drilling machine are crowding around what looks to be the size of a small Bangboo. But upon further inspection, it turns out to be more surprising.

“Hey, we need someone down here stat! There’s a kid on the site!” 

At first, Grace was more so worried about the news that one of her machines had sent out a distress signal. She arrived shortly after receiving news that her children had found something. Of course, she would be planning on scheduling an inspection to ensure nothing had affected their wiring but what she hadn’t expected was to be greeted by a little kid looking at her from behind one of the boring machine’s legs. She blinked slowly before the gears started turning in her head before lowering to the child's level, a soft expression on her face while trying to cox the child towards her and away from the potential danger.

“Hey there, dear. Come here, we won’t hurt you.” How did a kid get on site nonetheless, a  hollow at that. Slowly she was able to grab the kid, lifting them to her hip before requesting that PubSec be contacted for a lost child report.

While PubSec had filed the report and suggested in taking the kid with them, the little kid had suddenly grown attached to Grace. Fear in their little eyes as they hid behind the women’s legs, grasping her tailcoat. Grace then suggests that since she had entered the hollow most likely nearby, it would be best to try to find any parent or guardian nearby the hollow looking for a kid. For the time being, they would take responsibility for watching the kid. "Come on pumpkin, lets get you in the office, it'll be nice and refreshing in there. Better then inside that hollow I bet."

⋈ At first it seemed like a good idea, but after a while Grace started to realize just what she had gotten herself into. While she did have a hand in raising Koleda after the disappearance of her father, Koleda was a lot older than this kid here. She would constantly chase after the little one, warning them to be careful around her workshop and stopping them from leaving the office- as to not have any injuries with any machinery outside and in. It reminded her just how energetic children could be, let alone human ones. But she still gets those heartwarming memories of Koleda as a kid, wondrous eyes as she wandered around her dad’s shop. 

⋈ Sometimes, at random, Grace will feel the little hands tugging at her coat wanting her attention. She’d get little things they would find. A cool rock, some old wrench she lost a while ago, even a loose screw that she doesn’t know where it came from. Of course, she kept them in her pockets, smiling as the kid shyly expressed their glee and skipping away to either watch the workers out the window or find some more things around. Grace wishes she could show this kid around the place, taking notice of all the little things they take an interest in and try to explain to them what they do or what they are for. 

⋈ Though she doesn’t mind their presence that much and in fact enjoys it a lot, taking care of the little tyke reminded her just how hard it really was so she agrees that she enjoys her controlled chaos that comes with her mechanical children. But who can say no to that cute chubby smile of theirs. 

“Ah, Pumpkin! Don’t touch that, you could get hurt. Oh geez, don’t look at me like that. You knew it was off limits… ah why do you have to be so cute- how about I show you outside a little? Will that make you happy pumpkin?” The little kid stares with large eyes, blinking while nodding their head, reaching to take her hand which Grace doesn’t miss. Gushing about how cute they are skipping alongside her. 

Ben may look really intimidating at first, with that scar on his face and those gruff grizzly bear genes of his, but he is a softy at heart. So when others see him, they always perk up and show him respect, not wanting to get on his bad side even when he’s only passing by or addressing a concern of his in the workplace. He doesn’t mind this reaction, it’s almost expected at this point but sometimes even the little things catch him off guard. Especially when some kid comes running up to him to give him a hug.

“Teddy!” The gleeful squeal of a child catches his attention, turning in time to see a little kid escaping Grace’s grasp to run towards his looming figure. Sure they have many bear workers on site, but why would this kid go after him specifically? “Huh? Oh hello there little cub. What are you doing here?” 

“Teddy! Teddy!” They bounce on their toes as they take a hold of his hand, nudging it happily as Ben could only gruff out a confused snort. “I’m not teddy? My name is Ben, Ben Bigger.” Before Grace could apologize for the interruption, the child's eyes sparkled up at him before grinning wildly, “Benny!”

⋈ Affectionately known as Benny now, Ben tries to resume his work but is now followed around by the little cub, the kid imitating him from time to time only to turn into a fit of giggles as they pretended to be watching something else when he turns to look at them. Of course, it was a cute sight, a grizzly grin on his muzzle from time to time as he watched his step with his newest crew member. Many of the other workers found the sight rather cute, Ben wandering around to ensure stock or filing reports while a small child wearing a hard hat trails behind.

⋈ When entering a dangerous area or going up a lift, he made sure their guest was close behind him, holding their hand or even carrying them on his shoulders so they can have a better view of the construction sight. While they are given a piggyback, they will run their little hands over his fur and mumble about how soft Benny is. He doesn’t mind seeing as they are just a kid, though he just hopes they don’t make his hair look too unkempt and messy. Ears flicking as they giggles and curl up against his head in a small snuggle. 

⋈ “How’s the view up there?” He asks looking up at them with his one good eye, hands grasping his fur firm enough not to hurt but stay put. They are on one of the scaffoldings with some other workers, taking inventory. “Huge! I wanna see it all!” Ben only grins before returning to the matter at hand, one of his workers mentioning how the kid makes Ben seem more friendlier, many having approached him to ask about the kid or greet them both, said child waving shyly at everyone while cowarding behind Ben. All the wild, Ben notices an increase of work production as of the last hour. Hmm, wonder why.

⋈ All together, Ben is rather gentle and caring with the kid, being more gentle and soft spoken when addressing them. He does his best not to put them in danger all while keeping them entertained, even involving them in the more fun projects like mixing paints. His ears flickering whenever the childish glee of ‘Benny’ is announced, little hands taking his larger paws while they speak about what they did in their very broken, little English. 

“You mixed some more paints? That’s great! Maybe one day, you’ll be a hard working construction worker with that attitude.” He crouches down to their height, ruffling their hair while they smile at his praise, “I can already see it now, you might even be a better worker than me.”

“Benny the best! Number 1!” They cheer, Ben’s claw pressed against his chest as a heartwarming feeling engulfs his heart, rosy flowers seeming to appear around him before his attention is called upon.

“Let’s get moving now, can’t be late.”

It was roughly around lunch time, Anton meeting up with Ben to hand in any files he had gathered from the workers in the hollows as well as any inquires for the next move on construction and demolition. But when he spots a little kid munching on a sandwich, a lot of questions run through his mind. Whose kid is this? The President's? But isn’t she a little too young to have kids? Of course he needed to find out, waltzing up to see what his bro is up to now.

⋈ The moment he steps up and makes eye contact with the little one, he doesn’t know it but he’s scowling. Anton has a habit of looking scary when he is thinking or even when he’s trying to figure something out, so to the kid they look like a scary man. Eyes start watering before Anton can get a word out, leaving him to panic and wave his hands about. 

“Whoa whoa whoa! Hey there kid, didn’t mean to scare you! Look! I’m friendly, see!” He crouched down, smiling nervously while trying to cheer them up, Ben watching in amusement while eating his own lunch. Anton tries his best, pulling at his cheeks, messing his hair up or even trying to crack a joke. Soon, the kid could only stare in confusion at this stranger, wondering why he was being so… weird. 

“Anton, stop, you’re weirding them out.” He pouts, seeing that Ben was right. But at least they aren’t crying, fixing his original problem, “Sorry about that kid, names Anton! Who are you, little bro?” Blinking, they only look at him before trying to hide behind their sandwich, munching slowly as they choose to ignore him. Anton’s ego has been hit. 

⋈ He’s not bad with kids, though he’s not good with them either. He’s always cautious with them since he’s seen some odd children in New Eridu. But after getting to know them from what little they spoke and what Ben and Grace had told him, he seems to have gotten to a point of understanding with them. That being said, he’s making sure they are in the best care there while they still are waiting to receive news from their parents. During lunch, he’s offering them his best snacks, proud of himself that he’s slowly gaining their trust. Or even offering to show them around while Ben is on his break to give the bear a rest. 

⋈ Whilst showing them around, he plays little games with them, chasing around the Bangboos they point out, running circles around the many tables and chairs in the break areas, even giving them wild piggyback rides that leave them laughing and squealing. If not piggyback rides, he’s tossing them up in the air and catching them playfully, the excitement on their face making him even more happier. They started calling him, ‘Big brother Anton’- boosting his ego a little as he started addressing himself as such to other workers he comes across, many looking on in confusion as he trails after the little tyke to keep an eye on them like a big brother would. 

⋈ That being said, he knows when to reel in the playtime when he needs to be serious or careful for their safety. He always has an eye on them, steering them away from the dangerous machinery and preventing them from running into other workers carrying heavy parts and pieces. Of course, he does scold them but he does it out of care that they could end up getting hurt if he doesn’t keep a close eye on them. And they seem to know this too, always apologizing before sadly looking down to their dirtied sneakers, scuffing them on the hard concrete. 

“Hey, look at me kid. You’re not in trouble, ok. I just don’t want you to get hurt, that’s all. Do you like having a boo-boo?” He gently holds them at an arm's length, leaning towards them as he speaks softly, thumb rubbing their forearms. They slowly shake their heads no, on the verge of tears after almost running into another worker carrying a large panel of glass, tripping in front of them. Had Anton not been quick, the worker would have stepped on them or worse, tripped and dropped the glass on them leaving them open to being cut up by the shards.

“I don’t wanna see you hurt, so know when I yell at you or scold you, it’s because big brother Anton is looking out for you and wants to keep you safe, ok!” He smiles gently at them, pinching their cheek as they blink the tears away and nod in understanding. It takes them a little but soon they ask him an important question, “Will big brother always protect me?”

“Sure thing, kid. As long as I’m around, you’ll be safe!”

While the trio address their findings and wonder what they should do now with the kid since they all need to get back to work, their president has finally returned from one of her meetings to hear that there is a kid on site. Finding her trusted employees and her closest family, Koleda is surprised to see that the rumors were true, freaking out once the kid spots her. Grace only greets her with a smile, waving as she approaches.

“Hi sweet pea! Come meet pumpkin!” Koleda flinches once the child approaches her, staring up at her before taking a hold of her pants and tugging them gently. “Eh, let go of me. Grace! Why is there a kid here? Children should not be on the construction site, you know what will happen if the press hears about this!?”

“Calm down Koleda, Pubsec is working hard already to try and find their parents. In the meantime, we’re taking care of them. Besides, a lot of the crew love them, what a cute bundle of joy!” Koleda sighs before looking down at the kid beside her, the kids stare never letting down before they point at their face. “You're like my age.” Oh boy, was Koleda about to have a field day with this one. 

⋈ Usually Koleda is treated like the kid in the situation, after all she is pretty young to be running a business but she’s proven herself to be rather mature and grown for the task at hand. That being said, she doesn’t get along with children. So this new kid is nothing more than an obstacle in her routine. She is constantly being followed by them, annoyed at how many questions they ask or how they touch things that they shouldn’t touch. The amount of times she had picked a fight with this kid is insane, but of course they don't escalate into huge fights, really just calling names and pointing. The one time the kid kicks her after she called them 'small brain', Koleda pulled out the timeout card and grounded them to her office, calling for Grace who only laughed at them both.

⋈ The only thing she can think of doing is giving them something to distract them. Still has some old toys from when she was a kid in her office, little blue trucks and yellow cranes. But once giving them over to the kid, she starts nitpicking them about how they should be playing with them, explaining their roles as they aren’t race cars which is what the kid had assumed from the second they got them. So now Koleda is stuck playing with them while trying to find an excuse to leave, which seems to be non existence. 

⋈ She hates to admit it, but she likes bossing them around sometimes. It’s not everyday you get to boss around someone younger then you, making them get things for her here and there like files or tools. But still, it’s the moments when they call her ‘Cool Big Sis’ that she can’t help but find this kid alright. Usually, Grace is her big sis; So seeing that someone finds her as a good sister figure, she’s gotta show off a little and show them whose the boss around these parts. That’s right, Cool big sis is!

⋈ After a long day of venturing and eating and meeting so many people, the little kid finally settles down a little. Of course, it starts hitting them that the day is starting to end and workers are leaving to go home, they grow lonely and sad, sitting on Koleda’s couch in her office. Blinking away sleepy tears before curling up on the cushions, taking a nap before Koleda comes back. Finding the child sleeping peacefully, she drapes a blanket she had laying around on them, realizing that it’s an old one from when her dad was around, leaving it in his office for when she would fall asleep as a kid. Patting their head, she resumes her work beside them, remembering how her dad would do the same for her when she was their age. She can’t help but think of them as a mini me, smiling sadly before a knock at her door catches her attention. 

“Sweet pea? It’s grace, PubSec is back! They believe they found the mother of little pumpkin here!” Grace walked in once Koleda lets her in, aweing at the sight of the little one cuddling up to Koleda’s lap who looked flustered to having been caught snuggling up to the kid after deeming them an annoyance. “W-What? Oh, ok then. I’ll get the out then- Don’t mention this to the others-”

“No promises Sweet Pea~”

“G-Grace!” But she was long gone, the door closed leaving her to pick the kid up, adjusting them on her hip so they could rest their head on her shoulder. Koleda strokes their head before leaving, muttering out a sad,

“Let’s get you home now, cub.”

Arriving at the gates of the main construction offices and sites, a PubSec officer stood along a rather distressed looking women, Ben and Anton with the lady comforting her until they caught sight of the three wandering over. The sight of the kid brought tears to her eyes, crying out their name before running up to Koleda. “Oh my, Thank you so much! I’m so sorry if they've been a bother, I was so worried when they didn’t come home.” Koleda handed the kid over, still sleeping but once in their mother’s arms, almost recognizing who it was curled in closer with a larger smile on their face, sighing in relief as they continued to doze off. 

“Eh, it was nothing. They are a great kid, though a troublemaker if they can wander off unnoticed. We did our best to make sure they didn’t get hurt, let alone the fact that they ended up in a hollow of all places.” Shaking her head, Grace apologizes for the inconvenience but the mother couldn’t be happier to have their child back and safe. Before leaving, she thanked Koleda one more time, ironically patting her head with a gentle smile, “You’re parents must be so proud to have raised such an amazing girl. Thank you again for watching over them. Goodbye now.”

They only watched as she left, child in hand who only woke up long enough to stare at them at a distance, PubSec officer joining them for a safe trip back home as it was already pretty late.

“Buh-bye big sister. I’ll miss you.” They smiled tired, Koleda only waving back, a small frown on her face as they turned the corner and left. 

“Bye kid, see you around.”

“Maybe we’ll see them again sometime. They are a sweet kid, huh sweet pea.”

“Yeah, maybe… But that’s wishful thinking. How about we all get heading home and relax after today.” Everyone nodded, together heading back on site to finish up what needed to be done. But they'll never forget them, that's for sure. Neither will the concrete after they had ran across it several time. Yeah, really troublesome that kid was.

With a sigh, I pushed off the desk in the staff room, the hum of monitors and the low-setting of the running fan being the only thing filling the silence. Wise was busy running the shop while I worked on our Inter-knot account, yet it was already getting late so I figured I’d finish up work and head to bed early. As I stand up, groaning as my legs tremble in a dull ache of being neglected, the sound of someone coming in left me turning to see Wise; my older brother coming to check up on me.  “Hey Belle, I’m closing up shop now, how’d the commission go?”

“Ah, another success for Phaethon, no worries. Though I hadn’t realized how long I’ve been working on this new account.” Yawning into my hand, Wise only rolled his eyes before coming over and patting my shoulder. In the past we used to take turns between taking commissions, however now that we’re facing some financial debt and need to reset our progress in our Proxy work to make our living again, we’ve both decided it would be best to split up and focus on both the store and our commissions to help cover our trail and act up the role of being another pair of normal residents in New Eridu.

“Hey, as long as you remember to eat lunch and dinner. By the way, [Name] came by earlier while you were at work.”

Hearing this, I perked up and trailed after my brother into the shop, curious about their visit. “Oh!? Why didn’t you tell me earlier? What did they come by for?”

“Eh, I figured you’d say that- they insisted that they’d come by later so you could focus on your work. I guess they wanted to hang out tonight. Check your messages, they probably texted you already.” I sigh in annoyance before taking out my phone and wandering into my room upstairs, gnawing on my fingernails in a nervous habit when it comes to [Name]. I’ve known them for a while now, they used to be a regular at our shop before we became close friends. They are an amazing person, being truly caring and compassionate. You can’t help but listen when they speak because they speak so beautifully about everything and anything. With a sign, I flop down on my bed, feeling warmer than usual,

‘Man, maybe I really do have it bad for [Name]. Wahh, why me and my cute friend!’

My messages were filled with our friends and clients, however my recent messages are from them, seeing another pop up as I stare longingly at the screen. Opening it quickly, I misclick on their icon leaving me to call them instead. In a panic I squeal and attempt to hang up… only for the call to be answered.

‘OH WHY ME!?’

“Hello? Belle, you there?” I pick my phone up and up to my ear, blinking away my embarrassment and try to strain my voice to be normal again. “A-AH Hi [Name]! How’ve you been? Heard you came by earlier, why didn’t you come bother me?” I joke in a teasing tone, ignoring how my door was left open for Wise to conveniently walk by, stalling at the doorway with an all knowing smirk. I could only glare at my sweet [name] responses in light.

“Ah, you know I wouldn’t interfere with your job! But yeah, I did come by earlier. Sorry I didn’t tell you ahead of time.” Rolling over to my stomach, I could only smile as they muttered sweetly to themselves on the other line. My feet kicking in the air as I twirl a lock of my hair, “Don’t worry you pretty head about it. So- What did you want earlier?”

They are quiet on the other side of the line, probably flustered over my compliment. I’ve known them long enough to know how they’d react. How they easily get flustered over things like praises and compliments, something I’ve always teased them about in the past but now I always push for when I hang out with them. The joy it gives me when I can make them pink and stumble over their own words, fiddling with their fingers to process their next words carefully.

“Well, I wanted to see if you’d be busy tonight. I-I’ve been pretty lonely lately so I’ve tried reaching out to some friends to see if they wanted to hang out but none of them… well it was whatever. So I came to see if you wanted to… um- idk watch a movie and eat snacks or something.”

I clutch my chest at how heartbreaking they sound, getting up to go to my brother’s room, standing in his doorway to get his attention while I talk quickly. “NO-NO, I’m not busy at all tonight! Why don’t you come over and we can watch any film you want. I have some snacks and Wise won’t even be here for long tonight-”

“W-What? But I don’t-”

“Yeah, he has a dinner date with General Chops at his ramen shop. So I’ll also be alone so come over! We can even cuddle with Eous on the couch, he loves you!” I nod my head towards Wise as he gets up, my brother rolling his eyes as I push him out of the room and down the stairs carefully. [Name] was coming over and I didn’t want my brother bothering us now that we have a chance to be together, alone!

“Oh- Um, oki! I’ll come over now then, I should be over in 20 minutes then? See you soon B! I’m so excited to see you!” After hanging up, I squeal mentally before I’m hit on the head, groaning in pain as Wise scoffs at my quick thinking. “Really Belle. Dinner date with Chops?”

“I need you to help me here! [Name] is coming over, I need this now and I need you to be out! Go hang out with your friends, I promise we’ll be fine while you're out!”

I plead with him while he only laughs at me, taking his wallet and phone on him before taking the keys of the store car. “Fine, fine! Just this once. Call me if you need anything.” I cried in joy as he agreed with me, giving him a hug before letting him leave the parking lot. Now the real work starts, running around the shop and my room. Cleaning up old laundry, making my bed neatly to match Wise’s, sweeping up the shop until everything is clean and looks neat. 

‘Hopefully, this is enough to make them think that we aren’t living in a total slum.’ Sure, before this wouldn’t matter much in the past when they’ve come over multiple before, but tonight felt different. I could feel it. 

▿

Finally, after a short while, longer than I expected- a knock is hard on the storefront and I rush over and peer through the window. It’s [Name], wearing their iconic sweater and fidgeting their hands like they usually do. Opening the door, I smile as they nervously gasp and grin. 

“H-Hi Belle! Sorry I’m late! I stopped by the shop to grab some more snacks, I even got your favorites! So I’m ready for tonight!” They cheer sweetly, holding up a plastic bag filled with an assortment of candies and chips, proud of their haul that I can’t help but stare, my heart thumping fast before letting them into the store. 

‘God, could they be any cuter? Anymore and I might just kiss them right here and now.’
