#alma karma x reader

[alienaiver]

when you start dating alma you have to fight secretly with kanda about their affections. both you and kanda are petty and stubborn about it for a long time and when alma one day admits that they love you so much because you remind them of kanda, kanda gags from the other side of the room (even though he definitely wasn't listening in on your conversation). it isn't until you're on a mission alone with kanda and comes into a life threatening situation that you and kanda can finally bond. you're on the ground, his coat resting (reluctantly) under your head as your lungs gurgle in a tell-tale sign that you need more medical assistance than kanda's capable of giving you.

"i guess..." you heave in a wheezed breath, "..that alma's attention'll go back to you..." and kanda clicks his tongue in annoyance before he mutters out a, "i'm happy when alma is. i like the way you make them laugh." you cough out a reply and both of you ignore the blood that dyes your lips, "...i didn't hear you, can you repeat.... your confession?" you try and kanda squeezes your hand - the one he definitely isn't holding onto before he throws out a biteless "shut up"

it's by pure luck that allen opens a gate due to lack of communication and finds you before it's too late. you're passed out on the ground when he runs to you and kanda won't even let him touch you lest he make your injuries worse. only the head nurse gets permission by a very angry kanda guarding your unconscious body from any more harm.

alma notices the way you start to bicker less and banter more, not-so-reluctantly-anymore sitting next to each other in the cafeteria and only theatrically complain when 'forced' to hang out. they like this new development

[bsd-hq-writer]

Hi, I've been down and out of sorts lately and find myself crying and worrying over everything, I don't have the motivation to do my work and everything feel muted. Can I request a comfort Headcanons for Allen, Lavi and Alma. Thanks

((I went through some stuff too so I hope these will help!!!)

Allen:

He’s freaking out really badly on the inside

Considering all the things that has happened to him in his life, he knows first hand just how lost someone can be

But he’s not very good at comforting compared to people like Lavi and Lenalee

He’d be the type to listen to everything and empathize with you (nodding, agreeing, and even crying)

He’d stick you for a while the moment he hears about any dilemma you’re facing (and if you’re alright with it, he’d stay with you and keep you company)

Definitely try to help you overcome any negative feelings first and foremost, mainly through talking and stress relieving activities (he knows exercise and sparring work pretty well)

His gentlemanly actions becomes 100x more gentler and kinder (mostly because he knows how fragile people can be in their times of need)

He’s 100% ready to do anything for you ex. You want food? He’s running through the halls to the dining room. You want to take a nap? Allen’s bed is ready. You want to just sit with Allen for a while? Done deal, he’s locked the door and put a “Do Not Disturb” sign up.

“You aren’t ever alone, always remember that, and if you ever feel like you do, know that I’m always going to be there next to you.”

Lavi:

He would want to hear what’s wrong and how you’re personally feeling

If you don’t want to talk, he’d prefer being the “I’ll sit with you in silence and just be here for you” type of person

If you want to talk, he’s sitting with you through your entire explanation rubbing circles around your back or just simply holding you in his arms

Your comfort is his top priority and he makes sure your needs are perfectly taken care of while he listens

He personally doesn’t really know how to deal with internal pain and suffering, however, so he doesn’t really know which is better: helping you overcoming over them or simply helping you cope with them better

He ends up doing a bit of both: listening and giving advice but also assuring you that everything you think you might be might actually be wrong (e.x. If you don’t think you’re good enough, he’ll assure you that you’re definitely not “good” because you’re always “prefect”)

After talking or no talking, he’d coax you into relaxing with a nap

He knows how draining internal battles can be, and especially having dealt with them for a while means you must be absolutely drained

“The future might look bleak now, but if you’ll let me, I’ll do everything in my power to change that for you.”

Alma:

He would find the idea of chatting very comforting

Whether it would be about your feelings or even about your previous adventures, he’d want to talk about anything

He’s basically like those kind of people who could sit there for hours and either listen or ramble for long periods of time

His favourite thing to talk about would be funny stories and anything about the interests he shares with you

He would talk and talk on and on about everything that makes you smile to help you momentarily forget about the pain and sadness you feel

He would never try and completely erase the sadness you feel (he knows that sadness is a part of living, but he wants to become the person who can help alleviate that pain)

Usually be relaxing in his room or yours (anywhere quiet and private where it would be perfectly fine to randomly start laughing really loudly)

Would always try to make you feel comfortable (bring tissues, cover you with a blanket, hold your hand, etc.)

“The world is a harsh place, but I hope that I can be the stars shining down on you in your darkest times.”

- Admin Katsudon

[exorcistcupid]

How about Kanda, Lavi and Alma being faced with a blind date? Could you please do how they would react to it?

(Real talk though, AUs where Alma never “died” and grew up with Kanda and they both became Exorcists is my fucking jam so this was a god damn blessing in my inbox, thank you. And, well, obviously these will be answered in that AU.)

Kanda obviously did not want to have anything to do with this but it was all Alma’s fault. He’s the one that set it up.

He also had zero intention of showing up. He had to be physically dragged there and then pushed roughly over to you.

He is not happy at all. This reflects poorly on the date. I’m so sorry you got lumped in with this pretty asshole.

Your the one trying the hardest on the date. It’s just not working out that well. 

After the date he confesses that he didn’t want to do this and if he wants to ask you on a date he’d do it himself. If you made a good impression on him, he may just do it then and there. You might not accept it though, given he didn’t care about the date you were already on.

Lavi is very surprised when he’s been told it’s been set up. But other than that initial surprise, he’s pretty chill.

He hasn’t been on many blind dates before but he isn’t going to let the fact that he doesn’t know who it’s going to be spoil the date.

He’s really nice the whole date. You can tell he’s holding back, though. It’s mostly him testing the waters with you. He’s more of an observer, as he wants to get to know you while not giving to much away himself.

It actually ends up being a pretty good date! You wish you could have learned more about him, though.

If he liked you enough, he’ll ask you out on another date. You’d take this chance and spend the next date trying to get more out of him than what he gave today.

Alma is shook when he finds out. He’s super excited that’s for damn sure. 

He shows up like an hour early just in case you decide to show up early as well. Also his nerves made it impossible for him to wait any longer.

It’s a really fun date, all in all. He doesn’t tell you much about his past, but other than that he tells you anything you want to know.

He’s shy the entire time. He always asks before he does anything, like hold your hand. He’s a proper gentleman, holding doors open and pulling out your chair.

Would absolutely ask you to go out on another date with him. But he gets really excited when he asks so he has to backpedal and try to play it off cool but he’s blushing and it’s cute.

ONE | SCRIPTS & BONDS ◄ ᴘʀᴇᴠ

The first read-through for Dharma happens three weeks later at a film studio in London. Although George allowed Daisy to sleep at his place last night, he didn't even say goodbye when he walked out on the girl deeply asleep on the wrong side of the bed. He wanted to be early as usual, and leaving coffee ready on the kitchen counter didn't fall bellow a No-Strings-Attached relationship, so he didn't bother. There are only Greta Gerwig and some staffers to greet when he's ushered into the venue.

"Y/N isn't here yet," George observes, tired blue orbs scanning the room.

"Don't worry," Alma smiles. She's already slipped a coffee cup into his hand, the way she always does in work mornings when she's well aware George is still half-asleep. The boy snickers to himself, his manager is so predictable. "She'll be here."

"She's probably still with Henry," George surmises. Y/N isn't known as The Witcher’s princess for nothing.

Alma shrugs, encouraging to slurp his Americano and mind his own business. George is well aware this chat makes him look foolish and inexplicably jealous. Thankfully, Alma gossips along, "I don't doubt for a second she may have slept with him last night. But she won't be sleeping in, I can guarantee you that." George tilts his head, asking for more in tell. Alma's red-stained lips stretch open in a yawn. "She always comes on the dot, apparently. Never early, never late."

More interested than he should, and with an amused grin, he consults the time on his phone. Nine o'clock. "Thirty more minutes, then." He places the iPhone on the table in front of him, next to his script. "Let's time her." Alma chuckles, shaking her head. George plays dumb, opting to dramatically smell his coffee before proceed and take another sip from his cup. He picks up the thick white booklet, lines already colour-coded per actor, and starts to read through it.

Dharma is set in 1857 India. Aakesh, a penniless Hindi boy —portrayed by Dev Patel, the main lead— has always known his social standing is a consequence of wrongdoing in his past life. Y/N plays Marina, a wealthy Spanish girl Aakesh believes to be his past life love and the trigger of his attempts to clean his karma. George's character becomes involved when Colonel Edmund Thorn (Michael Fassbender), concerned about the safety of his fianceé, Marina, assigns James as her personal guard. They fall in love.

Thumbing through the middle section of his script, where the plot starts to thicken, it suddenly dawns on George how much acting this movie is going to require of him. His character demands him to declare his devotion to Marina with mere gazes, words few. Still, each movement of his body vociferates a heartfelt love, deepest that any he's ever impersonated.

George closes his eyes, trying to get in character. He imagines himself having this conversation with someone he desperately loves. He pictures Daisy in his head. Her thick, ash blonde hair and smiling eyes, the pink warm of her cheeks and the heat of her mouth when he kisses her.

It feels like cheating, though, because his character is supposed to be in love with Marina, and although Daisy is a girl he enjoys spending time with, he is not in love with her.

George's sigh exits in a long, laboured stream of breath.

"Everything all right?"

The voice is sweet, with an upward lilt to it. It sounds hesitant too, but like it's trying not to be.

The boy looks up. Y/N is studying him, dark-haired and flushed, the expression on her face shy.

"Oh, hello there," George smiles, clearing his head of its haze. He rises from his seat and extends a hand. "I'm George."

"I know," she giggles, holding it. Her palm is cold, whereas George's is warm. "I'm Y/N. I really admire your work. I’m a big fan… Probably had seen all your movies."

George can't help feeling a little sheepish at that. "Thank you," he says. Their arms fall back to their sides. "Same here. Without the 'I'm Y/N' part," he jokes, and he wants to slap himself for being that lame.

"Geo’s friend is a big fan of your boyfriend," Alma quips from behind her. She's too practical to ever get star struck. "I'm Alma, by the way. Geo's manager."

Y/N smiles charmingly as she shakes Alma's hand. And George finds himself in a daze, he loves the way she behaves, how her voice sounds like and the welcoming aura she irradiates.

<< The fuck is wrong with you?>>

"Nice to meet you, Alma." She turns back to George and smiles wider. She has small, pink lips; like petals. "I can arrange a meet and greet if you'd like."

"Thank you," George says, smiling back in spite of himself.

Y/N's eyes twinkle as she coyly shrugs her shoulders. She's wearing a tight little skirt George is sure Daisy owns too. It just doesn't look as good on her as it does on the girl who's currently in front of him.

"Whoa! Look at us getting along," she cheers, eyes transformed into two crescent moons, "Must confess I came prepared to try to break the ice." She seems to check herself then, pursing her mouth and laughing all of a sudden. "Sorry, that made it sound like we're going on a blind date or something."

George laughs along because her giggles are contagious and it is kind of funny. "We kind of are? We're playing star-crossed lovers and didn't even do a chemistry test. I'm pretty much going into this thing blind."

"Aren't we?" Y/N looks like she's glad to find someone in the same boat. "I was just telling--"

"Henry" George quips. His mouth stills awkwardly over the last syllable. He's not sure why he's letting himself be so familiar with this girl when they've only just met.

Y/N doesn't seem to mind, though. "Oh, no, no," she rolls back on her heels, "Henry and I are kinda...well..."

It puts George at ease for some reason. "Oh I see," he says affably with absolutely no bite to it, and Y/N's soft smile flashes again. "You were saying?"

"I was saying," she continues, "I was telling Dev about the no chemistry test thing, and he goes:" her voice fakes a man's voice, heavy British accent and everything, "you guys don't need it. Look at you both! Would look so good together.'" Y/N shakes her head a little, chuckling as she exhales. "I wasn't sure how to react."

"My friend Dean said the same thing," a smile creeps without George's consent as he confesses Dean's mischief. Y/N lets out a soft Oh. "I guess we just, I dunno-"

"You just have natural chemistry," Greta pipes up out of nowhere. She softly squeezes Y/N's cheek fondly. "Still on time, uh? You never change."

"It's all on Vanessa," she giggles with equal fondness. Vanessa is her manager slash personal assistant. George thinks the actress relationship with Greta is reasonable since they've worked together before in a movie he can't remember the name, but she stared alongside Timotheé Chalamet.

The director strikes up a bit of small talk about Y/N's last movie, The Selection, where she and Tom Holland bring the book to life in Netflix's screens. If George remembers it correctly, Holland plays a prince and Y/N portrays a commoner who is selected to compete for the prince's heart. The movie seems a cringe, but for some weird reason, George has decided to watch it once he gets home. Hopefully, Daisy will be gone by then, and the boy would stop at the convenience store to buy beer and popcorn.

George picks up his phone. Stealthily, he checks the time. Nine thirty-five. He and Y/N have been talking for approximately five minutes.

<<On the dot>>, he thinks to himself, recalling Alma's words. Then he hears his name. "Pardon?"

Y/N is saying, "I'll go sit with Dev. Catch up with you later?"

"Yeah, of course," due to his actor demeanour George can hide the disappointment trapped between his words. He understands she has to sit with Dev, their characters interact throughout the entirety of the film. "Do what you have to do."

"Talk to you later then," she shoots him a bright smile, her pink gums gleaming inside of it.

Greta is calling for the rest of the cast to take their seats around the square actors' table. Call it luck, but Dev and Y/N's sits are right across the chair labelled Mackay. The brit places his phone back on the table and slides into his chair.

"By the way," she says, turning around again. "Do I call you, George? Or..."

"Or?" flipping back to the first page of the script, he folds the cover back neatly as he questions the girl with his eyes.

"Your manager called you Geo." Y/N returns her inquisitive gaze. "That's your nickname?"

"Sort of," George laughs. "Very few people call me that way."

"May I?"

He shrugs, "Sure." As he rubs his palm over the script, he decides, on a whim, to try something new. How James, his character, calls her: "Ms Marina."

The crinkles in the corners of Y/N's eyes make the risk worth it.

"Okay," she says, walking backwards with her hands entwined. "Let's have fun today, Geo."

"Flirty Thirty” A gleam of the eye, a quirk of the lip, and it isn't Marina talking anymore, is Y/N tittering.

The room erupts in laughter. George's laughing the hardest of all.

"Y/N," Greta scolds half-heartedly. "Don't break character."

"Sorry, G," Y/N apologizes sweetly. "I thought I would break the ice."

Somehow, George finds himself smiling.

Today marks the fourth official Dharma read-through, and the tenth time they've gone over the entire script. George gets why Y/N is antsy; he is too. He can't wait to start filming in Mumbai, to smell the air of the streets, hear the whir of traffic and fast-paced Hindi. He can't wait to feel James in his bones in every take, the character encasing him, flesh and blood.

Fact is read-throughs are boring. So d*mn repetitive. George is just glad he's got perfect girl Y/N Y/L/N around to make things bearable.

Gerwig sighs in resignation. "Let's break for lunch," she says, addressing the entire group, "Reconvene in an hour."

George catches Y/N's eye and mouths, Padella? Y/N nods vigorously, flashing two thumbs up and a bright smile. The one the boy has grown fond of.

"I'm dying," George tells her a few minutes later as they walk to the restaurant. Luckily for both, it is near the film studio.

"Same here," she agrees. "One last read-through then India, here we come!"

"But we go through the script three times each meeting," George is half-whining, half-sniggering at the way Y/N's eyes roll to the back of her head. "We'll probably take even longer than usual today because of your little adlib."

"Sorry..."

"It was fun, though." Quickly, George reaches out to ruffle the hair on the top of Y/N's head. He wants to touch her. He just doesn't know why nor how and he doesn't want to make her feel uncomfortable. He cares too much for her. "Not a lot of laughs in this love story of ours."

Y/N doesn't bother smoothing down the mess. "Can you imagine loving someone as much, Geo?"

"Uhm..." George brushes a fingertip against his own fringe. He needs to get it trimmed before they start the live shoots. "I don’t know. Their love is something out of this world.”

"Yeah," Y/N watches the movement casually. "It is."

They get to the restaurant and the waiter, who is clearly a fan of hers, greets them enthusiastically.

"You two are so good looking," she gushes, but George knows the compliment is directed at Y/N. The waiter, who's tag reads Flo, merely is trying to be polite by her use of pronouns. "You get more and more dashing every time I see you." Y/N gives her the prettiest smile, and Flo enthusiastically looks at George, beyond happy for the reaction she got out of Y/N. George would be thrilled as well if the prettiest girl at Padella smiled at him in such a way...

<<What?>>

Padella has become a familiar haunt. They'd gone after the first read-through —when George discovered Y/Ns favourite food was any type of pasta— and every read-through after that, always ordering a dish they haven't tasted before and two glasses of wine. Not exactly in keeping with the diets, but George reckons these cheat days won't hurt. He and Y/N have taken to exercising together too, fitting in the gym sessions between their Dharma meetings and other schedules.

"I gained weight when I was a teenager," Y/N admitted during one of their workouts. "I had to work out to keep the weight off. Not like you." She'd smiled her sweet, bright smile, and George could imagine her being just as likeable with double the meat on her bones.

"I grow a beer gut like that," he'd told Y/N, snapping his fingers. "So I have to work it off, too."

In record time, Flo brings their dishes, leaving a courtesy starter on the table. George grabs his fork and swirls it through the fettuccini. It makes a pleasing, gooey sound as he incorporates the Pomodoro sauce.

"Oh, right, if I may Ms Marina," George says, giggling. The actress hums in return, mixing the contents of her own plate. "Do you want to come over for dinner tomorrow? My sister is cooking carbonara, your favourite."

"Oh my god," Y/N looks up from her dish, mouth-watering at the mere thought of her favourite food. "She won't mind me crashing your dinner?"

"No," George replies, slouching over his bowl. "She asked me to invite you."

"Really?" her orbs go a little round. "Why?"

A mouthful of bolognese disappears into George's mouth with a slurp, "I might have mentioned your love for Italian food."

Y/N takes a sip of her rosé, "Won't you mind me crashing your sibling dinner?"

"Nah," he smiles. “We're friends." He swallows the food he's chewed into the side of his cheek and tries not to meet Y/N's eyes. "I kind of like hanging out with you."

"Oh," she answers instantly, so blasé, pink across her cheeks. George adores it. "I kind of like hanging out with you, too."

George glances up then, and they share a knowing smile before going back to their food. It's oily and red, a little salty. George knows he's going to have to wash his teeth and throw a box of mints into his mouth before they go back to the read-through, but he doesn't care. It's delicious.

Their comfortable silence is broken when Y/N's phone rings inside her Rebecca Minkoff’s bag. She pulls it out, glances at the screen, and gestures to George that she's going to take it outside.

"I'll be right back," she says; tongue running over her teeth. The boy nods, just as Y/N answers the call and turns.

"Hey, H," George hears her say as she pushes through the door. "What's up?"

Cavill, he thinks to himself, sucking up to another curtain of fettuccini.

Fleetingly, he wonders if he should tell Y/N to bring a date—as in Henry. But the idea is pushed to the back of his mind when Flo comes by their table to ask if they would want more wine, and it doesn't resurface, not even when Y/N strolls back in from her private call.

In her pale silk blouse and tight little skirt, the one Y/N owns too, Daisy looks every bit as gorgeous as she does in her Basic House ads. George gotta admit. Yet he feels a little itch when he looks at her, it bothers him, so he focuses his attention on the other Daisy in the room. His sister.

She's setting down a plate of sour bread on his dinner table, her hair tied back in a ponytail. Luhan watches her lazily, admiring the classy decoration of the table. It looks out of a restaurant. Much better than Padella's.

"Since when my sister's become a chef?" he says playfully. His sister giggles in response, her attention too immersed in the preparations. She wants it all to be perfect. Scratch that, more than perfect.

Only then George returns his gaze towards the other Daisy, and he notices she's staring at him, a pout on her pretty red lips.

"Why not?" she asks. George wants to roll his eyes, but he's too polite to do so. He lets her continue the tantrum, "You know I used to have a poster of Henry Cavill in my old dorm, right? The whole time I was in University?" George barely nods. "So please, please, please, please, please... Please, George. Let me meet his girlfriend, hmm?"

"No," he answers. The hurt in Daisy's green eyes confirms he's been too harsh. He reaches up to tuck a loose tendril of hair behind her ear. She lets him do it, wearing a small and sweet smile. "I'll get jealous, baby," he lies in an attempt to soften his previous words.

She laughs, hiding her face as it turns a flattering shade of crimson. She's always been flattered by stuff like this and George doesn't understand why. They're not a couple, to begin with.

"Okay," she circles the table, fingers lacing into George's as she sits on his lap. She plants a kiss against his lips, "I'll get going then. Call me later?"

"Yeah," he pecks her on the tip of her nose and her eyelashes quiver.

The moment Daisy leaves, her namesake, George's sister Daisy, pops his head from the kitchen.

"You know, Henry is my celebrity crush too," her feet express her enthusiasm in small jumps. "I'm so excited!"

"You what?" George's nostrils flare, "Why every girl I know is infatuated with him?"

The doorbell rings before George can retort any further. His eyes flick over to the wall clock on impulse. 8PM. Of course.

"She's here," Daisy smiles, hands flapping at her sides. She combs back her hair, pauses, and repeats the action two more times.

It reminds George of the time he'd run into Brad Pitt backstage at an award show in Los Angeles. He was already famous by then, but he'd still tugged at the sleeves of his tux obsessively, hoping the jacket was sitting squarely on his shoulders, right before he'd said hello.

He walks to answer the door as Daisy places the pasta on the table. Y/N's standing in the corridor with a bottle of red in one hand.

"Ms Marina," George drawls, "Is that you, in my humble home?"

Laughing, Y/N kisses both his cheeks in greeting. George chuckles, taking the wine, and suddenly, he feels his face burning hot. "On the dot, as always."

The girl blushes. At least he's not the only one.

"Come on in," George waves her through the door. "My sister is dying to meet you." He can hear the hissed Geo! like a whip slicing through the air.

Y/N snaps her knuckles, a smile pulling up evenly on both sides, "Hello, Daisy."

A demure, cotton-soft voice replies, "Hello, gorgeous. It's so nice to meet you.”

"Likewise,” the actress beams.

Save for a few bites of pancetta, the serving plates look as though they’ve been licked clean.

"That was so, so good Daisy. The best carbonara I've ever had" Y/N compliments the cook. "Thanks for letting me try it."

"Any time" she replies, looking like a kid who's just been handed a present. George smiles at her, pouring both girls another glass of wine.

The night has gone well. Being the outgoing type, Daisy wasted no time in making Y/N  feel comfortable in her brother's home. She'd seated her next to George at the table, fussing over them both as she peppered Y/N with questions about her last two projects. She'd let slip that she'd watched every season of The Tudor's and Y/N's smile had been bashful.

"I loved Henry's work," Daisy had admitted, and George couldn't help but giggle at how quickly his sister's face coloured in bright pink.

George offers Y/N the last bit of burgundy in the bottle. When the latter declines, licking at the wine-stained seam of her mouth, he pours it for himself.

"You don't have to be so formal with me," Y/N tells Daisy, her tone already fond. George can tell she likes that. "I'm a big fan of Henry too. I had the biggest crush on him before I even met him." Her face is still a little rosy. She blushes really easily, and George likes it.

“It still feels weird. Henry is your boyfriend!”

"It's totally fine. Trust me," Y/N reassures her. "We can fangirl over him as Geralt every time you want. I don't mind."

Daisy squeals.

"Okay, enough girl talk." It isn't jealousy what makes George scoff. At least that's what he tells himself. He reaches into his pocket for cigarettes. "I'm just gonna go for a smoke, okay?"

Daisy’s pretty face pinches, "I wish you'd quit. Those things are horrible for you."

"I'll just have one," he bargains, sweet as honey. He pats his belly, crafting a compact sound. "I need it. You fed me too well, sister."

Y/N sniggers and Daisy rolls her eyes. Pointedly, she asks, "Do you smoke?"

"Sometimes," Y/N answers. “But I agree, it’s nasty.”

George watches as Y/N —the traitor—agrees with his sister, "Anyways, you should come with me so I can show you around."

"You shall," Daisy encourages.

“I don’t know,” the actress murmurs but George has already hooked his fingers behind her elbow and is half-hauling her out of her seat. "C’mon, let's go."

"Fine. Lead the way, Geo."

They take the elevator down to the pool area on the fifth floor, where smoking is permitted. George puts a cigarette in his mouth, holding his lighter in front of it, so the flame ignites it.

Y/N takes a long sigh. "Daisy is great," she says quickly. "She's so much like you."

"Thanks. I guess?" George exhales, the smoke curling in a ribbon of diaphanous white. "You’re still seeing Henry, uh?"

The other smirks. "You say that like you know it for sure."

"Alma likes gossip” George licks his lips. They taste of wine and olives.

The girl shrugs. "It’s kinda..." she answers. "It's on and off."

"Oh?" George blows a few smoke rings, rounding out his mouth and flicking his tongue to create the hole in the centre. "Mind if I ask why?"

"No particular reason," Y/N rushes the answer. "I’d rather not talk about it. Sometimes it... it just doesn’t work, ya know?”

Without thinking, George makes an offer he didn't realize was on the table. "Whenever it doesn't work," he says, "you should just hang out with me," he quickly continues, a little freaked, words rushing out, "and Daisy. Me and Daisy."

Y/N laughs, just once: its all gums and perfect pearly teeth. "Do you feel sorry for me?"

"Hardly, Mrs Prettiest Face On TV," George retorts mildly. Y/N laughs again, and George can't tell if she's sarcastic or earnest. Not that it matters. "It's just you and my sister got along really well, and I–"

"Thanks," Y/N cuts in. Her eyes are particularly feline in this light, and her voice is a degree more gentle than it was before. "I'll take you up on that."

She watches him smoke in silence for a few more minutes, the night air clouding with the filmy exhaust of his cigarette. When Y/N yawns, George stubs it out. Then he loops his arm around her waist.

Unconsciously, she leans into the touch. "It's weird," she observes, "that we didn't know each other two months ago."

"Really weird," George concedes, slightly buzzed from the wine and only half-aware that something has lifted between them. "I’m glad it's two months later."

In the days leading up to India, dinner at George's become a regular thing. Every two nights, Y/N will show up with something to add to the table: wine, desserts and beer, a floury baguette wrapped in paper or a basket of fresh fruit.

Sometimes Daisy joins them, and the conversation flows like blood through veins. At around midnight, Y/N will excuse herself to give the siblings their space but not before George extracts a promise from her to work out or watch a movie the following day. (She happens to love cinema as much as him.)

Other times, when Daisy is out with her boyfriend and the other Daisy isn't smouldering George with text messages asking him to dine with her, go to the movies with her, come to the theatre to see her, bla bla bla; George will chat idly with Y/N until the wee hours of the morning. The ice in their drinks will crackle and melt, diluting their colour, as they discuss their childhood dreams and the trajectory of their careers. They recount their upward climb in show business, the slow decline of some of their peers, and the fear that they might someday be in the same boat. They joke about their management and how both companies have long given up on damage control when it comes to their love lives.

George tells her more about caring, candid Alma, and Dean, his co-star and now best friend.

"Blake and Schofield are real-life BFF's?" George’s companion asks incredulously, "I stan so hard."

In turn, Y/N confesses him Sam Mendes is her absolute favourite director, and George promises to introduce them. She also voices about Henry, their ups and downs and the fact half of their circle of friends categorize their relationship as toxic.

"Keep that to yourself," Y/N adds after a brief lull. "I've never told anyone about it."

"They won't hear it from me," George swears, taking a gulp of watered-down Pilsen. He doesn't even tell his sister.

Dharma begins its live shoots three months after the first read-through.

Y/N and George are scheduled to film in Mumbai for four weeks. Alma informs George it's likely they will extend to six due to Greta Gerwig's infamous obsessive compulsiveness. His actors often end up filming simple scenes over and over again for days, because the director doesn't think the natural light or the colour of a couch or the feeling is quite right.

"Already cleared it with the boss," Alma shares brightly. She means the head of his management, who happens to love George, as all CEOs love their biggest star.

"Fine with me," the actor says. "I don't mind staying in Mumbai a little longer." He's worked with less pleasant directors than Greta before, and a little OCD won't take the fun out of filming with Y/N.

He's pleased to discover that the other feels the same way.

"Let's press for six weeks," Y/N says as they climb into the luxury car waiting for them at the airport. She speaks in a natural tone of voice, as though there isn't a swarm of fans screaming outside the vehicle. "I had only been here once, years ago, I lived in a small city near Mumbai called Pune for almost two months.”

"How come?"

"School stuff... I can't wait to rediscover India. Have you ever been?"

"Nope," George says, sliding off his sunglasses and running a hand through his hair. "Count me in on the exploration."

The way Y/N looks at him like he's her closest person in the world right now makes George's insides warm.

hi hi ! i really liked your relationship headcanons for lavi, i was actually wondering if you could do some for alma ? i know it's kindaaaa hard but i'd love to see what you come up with !

hey hi hello!!! 🧡✨ thank you for enjoying those, i'm glad you liked them!!! and of course i can do alma, he's my favorite precious boy, i hope i did him justice as well! 🥺🥹 this is obviously set in a kind of modern!au where he's alive and well 😭🥹🧡🧡🧡 sorry for the wait as well, i hope it wasn’t too bad a wait!!! <3

quick link to the lavi one!

wordcount: 802 words warnings: it's fluff! there's a few that are about marriage, if that's not your cup of tea, feel free to skip them! <3, genderneutral reader!

I feel like Alma wouldnt necessarily hide his affection towards you and very openly would confess his feelings to people - "of course i like them!" he'd say to Lavi, who's trying to decipher whether or not it's romantic (because lets face it, theyre all invested in the possibilty of your relationship) and Alma’s a super friendly and affectionate guy so who’s to say?

Lavi would then try to explain the romantic part of liking someone and Alma would instantly shrink in on himself and become the cutest little strawberry, nervously fidgeting with his hands as he looks around the room, "I wouldn't... I wouldn't mind kissing them.. if thats what youre implyin'," and Kanda's scoffing next to him, calling him an idiot.

He tells you the next day that he'd be happy to add kissing and cuddling to your list of shared activities, loudly yelling it at your front door, your elderly neighbor who lives next door giggles at you for a few weeks after that when she sees you

Dating in the beginning is actually a bit... awkward with him because he wants constant attention and physical touch but he's also anxious to ask for it now that you’re a couple, so there's a lot of miscommunication in the beginning, since his signals are a bit mixed and confusing to you as well.

As soon as you realize how much he wants it, it all clicks though! He's super affectionate and understanding if you for whatever reason cant touch sometimes (sensitivity, overstimulated etc) but he's ALWAYS happy to be in your arms!

It's almost like he purrs when you pet his head, he leans into you and sighs, obvious in his enjoyment. He pouts so bad when you stop and clings to you like a koala

His ultimate love language is acts of service though he does everything on the list because he's so enarmored with you, his love is bleeding through every crevice of him and it's always so obvious how much he absolutely adores you

With acts of service he loves to cook for you! Food is a big language for him, taught from home (Froi was big on food) and whenever you need cheering up or he knows you're stressed about something, its a guarantee that your comfort food or dish is ready for you whenever you need it!

He also likes giving presents and he likes leaving them for you to find as a surprise - however, they're kinda.. odd - a small present on your pillow wrapped neatly, it ends up being a bottle of your favorite food condiment - or one sitting by your desk with a post-it note "thought of you !!! xoxo" and it's a small screen cleaner wipe for a phone... or that time he sent you a present at work which was just a plain, gray umbrella (it wasnt supposed to rain) and a framed picture of a cat out of focus - they're not necessarily bad or rude they're just.. weird!

He also loves going on dates!! Indoor, outdoor, anywhere!! As long as he can call them official dates and hold your hand. To this day his favorite is still the day you tried baking milk bread together - he has a picture of you and him covered in flour and batter as his background on his phone.

His biggest dream is getting married to you, but he's really overthinking it for so long. What if you say no? What if it goes wrong? What if he forgets the ring? What ring is he supposed to get!?

So he’s been planning to propose for so long and honestly? Kanda's getting tired - he's so tired of listening to him gush and rant and talk about things when nothing's happening

It's to the point where the gang is planning an engagement party for you on behalf of both of you (the secret is that you've been wanting to propose too but aren't getting anywhere either, yeah Allen and Lenalee's getting fed up with waiting too)

It’s surprising how much Kanda actually helps and seems excited - though Lavi’s the only one who can actually tell, Allen’s convinced that he’s just making it up.

It's a bit awkward and weird that your friends are all doing this but at the same time Alma's always been obsessed with family and home so the fact that your entire chosen family was there meant so much to him and made it even more special when you said yes to marry each other!!

Alma is also your biggest hypeman with anything you need. Insecure about an outfit? Insecure or nervous about a big work project? He’s got your back!!! Always there for you, always supporting you and giving you all the love he possibly can!!

Thank you again SOOOOOO much for requesting! These are so fun to make and alma’s just so adorable I can’t help myself!! They got a bit out of hand, I hope you can forgive me <3 LKDJSKDNS let me know if you'd like more, d. gray man is wonderful to write for!! 🧡

[alienaiver]

imagine alma having a crush on you - hes so weird about it when he first realizes it and suddenly stops being all touchy and withdrawn which is very out of character for him. you try and ask him but he panics and eats a whole bottle of mayonnaise in front of you as an excuse to not being able to answer. a few days after that you ask kanda what’s up with his brother, and he just raises an eyebrow and spills almas secret like it’s nothing and that’s how you start dating alma. thanks to kanda. alma never lets him live it down

[alienaiver]

congratulations to me i just put the first post in the alma karma x reader tag in 5 years! doing gods work <3
