Reaper boys with long hair part 4

VERINE, NINE, YOUSSEF and AITACHI

[danieyells]

(SNS - Nine - R [Troublemaker Taming] - Passive Skill unlock)

I think it was the passive skill anyway

Verine no!! He just wants to relax with and take care of you I'm sure. Even everyone who's healthy doesn't like getting ordered around by Nine! . . .assuming they notice he's ordering them around anyway lol. I mean. . .unless you want him to order you around. No shame if you're into that. . .Verine only complains about it a little in their cleaning shift log lmao (then again Nine also says Verine is telling the truth when he calls him out lol)

Fanfic: Let Me Into Your Heart (Nine x Reader (Manager))- AfterL!fe

https://archiveofourown.org/works/25582843

Word count: ~1850

Warning: SMUT, Angst and Feels

Summary: “I like being alone.” You recall how those words used to hurt you but you find out that those who say such words are those who are the loneliest.

Author’s Note: Reading Nine’s childhood story really affected me! This poor reaper needs so much love (but don’t they all?!). This doesn’t contain any major spoilers, just a whole lot of hurting with some hopefulness sprinkled around. Thank you and enjoy!

Sleeping Noctu team

Because yeah, I started playing and got hooked on the game literally the day before the shutdown notice.

So... anyway, practiced some watersoluble graphite on them. I’m still trying to master how to draw hair im this technique as nothing that I used on dry media works in wet techniques lol

Can I get a headcanon post with Theo, Nine, and Noah being gifted a flower in a pot by someone close to them? Good luck with your blog!

Thank you! I hope you enjoy the request~

🧹 Theo would be appreciate the thoughtfulness behind the present. They only gave it to him, amplifying its importance to him. Although he sees the dirt, he promises himself that he is going to take excellent care of the potted plant. After all, it's a special gift from that special someone.

🧹 But that's going to be difficult to uphold. His goal is to make sure none of the soil from the plant transfers on his desk (while taking care of the plant). When it comes to pest control, Theo adds an additional 10 steps to his cleaning routing. The last thing he needs is a ladybug infestation in his room.

🧹 Since he doesn't usually help out in taking care of the Department's garden, he's not sure how much water the plant needs. However, Theo isn't willing to ask for help and finds the answer to his question after watching Ell water the department's garden. Ever since then, he's careful about watering and feeding the plant.

🧹 All is well until June comes back from a blood-pumping workout. He wasn't done with his workout, but was kicked out by Nyang Lead Manager. So he decided to finish the rest of his workout in his room. Let's just say he might have smashed the plant to pieces in the process.

🧹 Theo was not happy to say the least. The endless dirt on his desk and the broken present was more than enough to set off his temper. He makes June clean up the mess and explains the situation to the gifter. Fortunately, they gift him another one (which he keeps outside of his room).

🎼 Nine is touched by the gift. While he was alive, everything he loved was constantly taken away from him, so these small gifts warm his heart. His lips curved into a small smile as he observed the potted plants, cupped around his hands. It was a beautiful present that would make his room feel more welcoming and bright.

🎼 However, Nine can't accept such a present without giving something in return. He decides to whip up a batch of butter cookies that he'd been testing for a while. Although the gifter insists that it's not a big deal, Nine ultimately sends them a large box of cookies as a thank-you present.

🎼 As for the plant itself, Nine keeps it ontop of his windowsill, guarded with a decorative fence. He wasn't sure whether it would be safe to keep it around the other Noctu members, but he didn't want to have it in another room. After all, it was a reminder of the bond he had with the gifter.

🎼 Unfortunately, Nine's plant suffers a similar fate as Theo's. Kirr had set up another set of traps in all the Noctu rooms because he heard booming noises in the middle of the night (which was actually the sputters of a broken AC system). One particular evening, the AC started with another loud boom, setting off the traps. The plant was pierced and the pot was shattered.

🎼 Although Nine was annoyed, he wasn't surprised. Instead, he gathers the remains of the plants and determines if there's anything he can do to salvage it. If not, it's time to bid it farewell. He doesn't mention its death to the gifter until they ask about it.

📸 Noah is initially surprised. The gifter went out of their way to get a special present for him? It was such a sweet gesture that he felt that he didn't deserve. He's grateful and gives them a heartfelt thank-you with a big smile.

📸 He keeps the plant on top of his dresser as it gets plenty of sunlight. Not to mention that the potted plant looks aesthetically pleasing in that position (as his dressed top is fairly empty), so it's a double win.

📸 Although he doesn't have a lot of experience in taking care of plants, he tries his best. Noah creates a schedule, taking time out of his day to care for it. He prefers to water it when he first wakes up, so he doesn't forget. He also asks different reapers for advice, trying to make sure that the plant is receiving enough care.

📸 If the potted plant is small, then he takes it with him for overnight missions. It's a small reminder of the people that care for him, which keeps him motivated to do his best (and please everyone that cares for him, especially the gifter). If it's a larger one, then he usually leaves it under the care of Housemaster Sei.

📸 Noah's plant lives a pretty long life. However, all good things come to an end as the plant dies after Noah is called for an urgent two-week mission. Housemaster Sei was unable to look after it (because he had his own duties), so the plant died from lack of care.

Day 27

Nine - Haunted doll

[afterlife-butterflies]

hmm.. can you do nine for that “imagine if a character never became a soul reaper” post please?

"Nine... Mind if I be your plus one for tonight? We'd be the perfect pair of tens to dazzle the room~" "Mr Licht... I'm sure you don't mean that. I know you're planning to ask Miss Manager to be your partner during the mission." "You wound me, darling! To answer that with such a serious expression!"

What an odd dream... Was that Licht talking to someone? The other voice sounded polite and gentle... It's the first time you're hearing it, but somehow you're filled with a sense of nostalgia as you recall the conversation.

You try not to think about it too much, yet the next few nights are plagued with similar dreams featuring the same mysterious voice. The latest one included this 'Nine' person playing the piano - very skilfully at that. He might even give Theo a run for his money...

You can barely recall his face, but clearly remember thinking he was beautiful. Though something told you that calling him "pretty" wouldn't be a good idea.

The others start to pick up that you're distracted and try to help by providing distractions or possible remedies. One day you're doing paperwork in your room when a soul reaper knocks on the door.

Day enters and you brace for his usual energetic self, only to be met with a much more muted and worried version of him instead.

This in turn spikes your concern - what could've made him so quiet today?

"I think something is missing..." Day tries to explain. It turns out that when he woke up this morning, he'd turned around in bed to address someone, but realised that he didn't even have a roommate.

"It's weird, though... I thought for sure there'd be someone there, like my instincts were expecting it.."

On the same day is a scheduled mission at a famous university. In order to cover the campus most of the soul reapers went with you to the human world. While you were checking on everyone's progress you come across Licht, who was talking to a student there. Unlike the usual starstruck conversations you were used to however, this person seemed like he'd rather be as far from this flirty stranger as soon as possible.

"I'm sorry, but I'm not in the music department," he was saying. "I don't think I'll be much help with finding your way to class."

"Licht, let's not bother the students." You sigh a little, making your way there. "Sorry about him, he's-"

You're struck into dumbfounded silence as you meet the person's eyes. It feels as if electricity is running through your veins - what was happening? He didn't seem like a vengeful spirit...

"Darling~!" Licht greets you, cheerful as ever. "This is Nine, isn't he quite beautiful? I think he might just be able to fluster Sian like Quincy did at the start!"

You manage to snap back into reality, albeit still feeling a bit dazed. "Licht, you shouldn't just go around calling people beautiful. They might be uncomfortable with it."

Your words seem to surprise Nine, and he takes a moment to observe you properly. "...Have I met you before?" He asks, gaze focused and seeming to be analysing something before he catches himself. "Ah... Sorry, I'm not sure what got into me..."

"It must be the weather. I'm feeling a bit lightheaded myself," you smile at him kindly. This, however, enables Licht to redirect the conversation (and group) to one of the cafes on campus. Somehow Nine finds himself dragged along for the trip, and here you are, just having picked up the to-go orders from the counter and offering a sympathetic, if not apologetic look to Nine.

Day and Kirr were around the area and so they regrouped with the three of you. The former almost exposed them as soul-reapers but Licht manages to cover up the slip quickly enough. If Nine noticed, he didn't attempt to address it, instead joining in the conversation and relaxing the tension, asking where you guys needed guiding to.

Nine isn't one to try and get close to others, but this group's just essentric enough that his curiosity was piqued... They didn't seem like students from the school, but they weren't giving off a dangerous vibe either.

One was chatty and the other reminded him of a puppy, but they weren't so bad, compared to the judgemental and unfair treatments he's been used to so far.

That "manager" girl... She's the most suspicious, if only because he was hit with a pang of nostalgia when she started speaking. His heart feels like it's hurting a bit, too, in a way that he can only describe is similar to heartache. Which made completely no sense, since he's only met her today.

With these mysteries in mind, Nine acts as their guide around the campus, retelling some long-based rumours about the auditorium halls and such.

Along the way they pick up a few more essentrics, and Nine was barely able to remember their names before they arrived at their destination: the concert hall.

During the purification process the reapers almost lose control of the vengeful spirit, until Nine finally butted in and talked them down (it was a music student that overexerted themselves from practicing and applying to competitions)

By then he's already figured out what everyone is and the entire situation. But there is still one slightly confusing thing. You.

If nothing else, your actions and role during the purification only confused him more; you didn't seem to have a weapon like the others, so you weren't a Soul Reaper. But you seemed close to every person on the team (which sparked a bit of longing in him that he didn't expect) and seemed to be able to sense the presence of the vengeful spirits.

Curiouser and curiouser... It seems his questions haven't all been answered yet.
