Thanks for answering my question! So, can I use some headcanons of Elf, Kenshirou and Momoko when they meet their soul mate after thinking that they would never have one? It could be from the soulmate AU where colors are seen only when you make eye contact with your soulmate or they have their name on the wrist. Thanks ☺️❤️

You’re very welcome! And yesss soulmates AU gotta love it~ I went with the colors option! Hope you like it!

🔪 Elf 🔪

Elf didn’t really care whether or not he’d meet his soulmate; the concept of love and relationships just never really struck him as something interesting

If anything he thought it would just get in the way of his work

His whole mindset changes however the day that he briefly makes eye contact with a passerby while walking and the world is suddenly no longer black and white

He had to admit, his apparent soulmate was rather cute.. so, he decided, fine, why not give it a try?

He takes his soulmate’s hand in his and kisses the back of it with a toothy grin and friendly greeting, stating that it was nice to meet them

“So, we’re soulmates, hm? How’d you like to go out with me and get more acquainted, little cutie?”

🐕 Kenshirou 🐕

Kenshirou always had eyes for the warden, and the unrequited love ate away at his poor longing heart

He eventually ended up giving up all together, accepting that the warden wasn’t his soul mate to begin with, and that he’d probably never find the one

You can imagine his surprise when he suddenly sees color one day, after making eye contact with someone at a coffee shop on the mainland while off work

He realizes with a start, holy shit, he found them. He found his soulmate. He couldn’t believe it.

He steps closer to them and offers a friendly- but slightly nervous- greeting, smiling softly

“It seems we’ve finally found each other.. would you like to sit and chat with me- get to know each other while we eat?”

💎 Momoko 💎

Similarly to Kenshirou, Momoko was befallen with no luck at winning over the one she longed for: Hajime, and eventually accepted defeat

Given her busy job and how she only ever wanted Hajime, she figured she’d never find her true soulmate, and begrudgingly accepted said “fact”

Then, one day, she makes eye contact with a new guard that had started working at Nanba when they came in for a meeting and she’s floored by the color that comes to her vision

She’s completely taken aback and gapes like a fish out of water for a solid few seconds before gaining her composure

She continues the meeting as normal, but as soon as the guard is ready to return to work, she exchanges a final few words;

”Come see me at the end of the day, will you? I’d love to get more aquatinted with you, my dear soulmate.”

Hii, could I request a Mei x reader?

sorry if this isn’t how I’m suppose to request I’m new to tumble.

sorry again!-r0se-garden

You're good, this is typically how people do request. Some opt for dming people if their dms are open and such. I saw another request about a Mei x reader too, so I'm guessing he's pretty popular.

Gender wasn't specified so I'll just default to gender-neutral to stay as ambiguous as possible.

You work at Shiki with team Elf. It isn't the most glamorous job, but at least you have a roof over your head and food to eat. Your coworkers were a ragtag bunch of people who seemingly didn't get along unless it was in front of the Supervisor. Your boss.

Mei and Ido were the two you hung out with the most. They were the least chaotic and the least disruptive. Your one hobby was baking, and if anyone bothered you, their head would be on a silver platter. It was a cliche threat but it felt like it needed to be cliché.

The thing about Mei, Ido, and you was simply that those outside saw you three as the best of friends. Ido could tell pretty easily that his brother Mei had the biggest crush on his coworker, but was just too much of a coward to tell you.

The maids were cleaning up the dining room after the big dinner get together the boss had with everyone in Shiki. Ido knew you were in the kitchen but didn't tell his brother because of what he was planning. He may not say much and have a poker face 24/7 but beneath that he was a mastermind.

"Oh, it seems I left the towels in the kitchen..." It was so easy to sound upset about something so trivial, easier to get his brother to do something if he feigned being sad.

"Tch, alright. I'll go get them, but stop misplacing them all the time." Mei clicked his tongue and gathered all the plates into his arms. He was annoyed but also glad he finally got a chance to check in and see what you were making.

Busy at the stove stirring something in a pot while the light on the oven showed something in a tin pan, humming while you worked unaware of the assassin who just walked through the doorway. The clatter of plates and silverware in the sink made you practically jump out of your bones, awfully close to the boiling pot Mei caught you fast before accidentally burning yourself.

"Y/n! Be more careful!" He was quick to chastise you and cover up his panic. Of everyone at the laboratory/prison, you were the one he didn't want to get hurt.

Getting hurt changed people and he didn't want it to change you.

"Well... You're the one who walked in without notifying me! You know I don't pay attention to everything around me when I'm baking!" You flicked him in the forehead playfully, pretending to be upset.

"What are you making?"

"It's for later." You were quick to stand in front of the stove, crossing your arms over your chest with a stern look.

"Oh come on, you can't tell me." His eyes got big and sad, a tactic he often used to get at the sweet treats you make before Manji does.

"No, you always try to wrangle the truth out of me mister. Not this time."

"Please!" Mei clasped his hands together.

"Why do you want to know so bad?"

"You always make stuff really well, I want to know what to anticipate."

"Of course," You shook your head with a laugh.

"Oh, pretty please!" Mei begged.

"You're gonna have to do a lot more begging than that." You snorted.

"Ugh, fine." He rolled his eyes, clearly not giving in.

Ido leaned against the doorway, giving himself a pat on the back watching the two of you talk. He felt accomplished about something that had nothing to do with killing. There was a sense of happiness that radiated from setting up his brother with someone.

"I mean, I could beg in a lot more ways than one." Mei surprised you, he knew what he was doing.

"That's so... You're an idiot."

"What do you mean? I am completely competent."

"I didn't say you weren't competent." You sighed.

"But I mean, hey, I'm your idiot at least."

"My what..."

"Did I say that out loud?"

"Yes, yes you did."

"I know that!" Mei huffed, his face was turning red.

"Then why did you ask?!"

"Because I'm flustered!"

"You're flustered?! You basically confessed to me!"

"I didn't, but do you want me too?"

Now you both were yelling about something neither of you needed to yell about. Anyone near could practically hear the two of you at this point.

"Yes."

"...What?"

"I said, yes."

"To what?" He tilted his head.

"I'm not going to say it again."

"No, seriously."

"I'm not saying it." You stood your ground.

"Ugh, fine. I like you." He muttered.

"What was that?"

You couldn't help but grin and cup your hand by your ear, leaning toward him.

"I like you."

"Oh, really? I couldn't tell."

"What?! You could tell?!"

"Dude, it was obvious. I like you too, duh. Every wonder why we bicker like a married couple?"

Mei stared at you. Face a good, bright shade of red. He didn't move a muscle, if this was a dream he was too scared to wake up. Then Ido knocked something over in the background and he jumped right into you, the both of you landing in a heap on the floor.

There was no way Mei would be able to live down the embarrassment now.

It feels so rushed and I'm so so sorry if it seems that way, I didn't have a plot starting out and just stuck with not having a plot. It may not be exactly what you want, but I do hope you enjoyed it!

hey so how dose Elf being a sadist who’s ruined people lives and felt no remorse, get turned into a guy willing to go the distance for Yn. Cause I have read a few oneshots and all of them boil down to “Elf protecting Yn, or being head over heels for them” without his toxic traits. Which is kinda problem when a good percent of his character is being a walking red flag.
