David Martinez
When he first met you, he was nervous. You gave off this very aloof aura.
You were in Maine's Crew, so of course you had to be dangerous, right?
Regardless he tried to approach you, might as well be on good terms with everyone in the crew, right?
You guys made small chat every now and then but they eventually started to turn into genuine conversations.
The conversations didn't outweigh the silence you two would bask in sometimes.
When you first invited him over to the apartment, he was ecstatic and didn't turn down the offer.
He was still nervous but trusted you wouldn't do anything, even after the Lucy incident.
You'd two would have conversations that were deeper than any other ones you both had experience. You got to learnt about his past and he got to learn about yours.
He grew to like you. Lots.
More and more as time went on. He couldn't separate himself from you much and got teased plenty by Maine who just so happen to notice the lovestruck chance in David.
He was outside your door one night, you'd invited him over once again, but he had kindled up a little plan.
This was the night he'd confess to you, or at least he hoped it'd go that way.
You noticed he was in his thoughts, rarely saying much and not talking a lot like you guys did when you were alone. So, you asked him what's up.
He couldn't keep it in anymore and let his confession spew out of his mouth. It was a little difficult to understand him but you caught gist.
He froze up when he felt lips on his. Realising it was you, he loosened up.
When you separated, you looked at him with your forehead leaning against his. Confessing that you liked him too and that he doesn't have to worry anymore.
Needless to say, the rest of the night was filled with kisses and cuddles.
He was in love.
Lucy
She noticed how distant you were ever since you joined them. Despite also being withdrawn herself, she decided to make the first move.
At first, it was almost like a minor interrogation, some of which you bothered to answer but your began to trust her some more with information about your personal life as time went on.
After jobs, you eventually started to go with her to her apartment to relax.
She showed you the BD on the moon and both of you would enjoy the atmosphere. It was fun. It gave a euphoric ambience, even.
If you smoked or drank alcohol, she'd offer you some.
It was a new feeling. She couldn't get enough.
Visits became very frequent. Often working out together, having lunch or dinner, enjoying the moon on top of her apartment or in the BD.
She was so sweet and kind to you. Maine commented how he's never seen her like that with anyone else but you.
She always worried about your safety during jobs. Staying close to you but never got in your way.
Sometimes after jobs, both of you would skip the parties to go straight to either yours or her place.
Many deep conversations would always follow, you learnt about her past and you'd quickly comfort her. It was a new behaviour from you that was unexpected but fully welcomed.
And to be honest? She wanted more.
Eventually she started to be a little affectionate in touches. Often playing with your hair or holding you hand. If you were uncomfortable with it though, she'd stop and find another way in being affectionate.
However, she decided she'd make the first move whilst you two were in her bed together.
She'd softly start by looking at you before slowly leaning in to connect her lips with yours.
It was addictive and lasted ages with no end in site.
That night only progressed further with words of love.
Maine
You're reserved personality didn't intimidate him. Have you seen how fucking massive this dude is??
Always offered to buy you drinks at parties.
Always protected and shield you from enemies on the job.
You didn't need to be protected, you were able to handle yourself. Telling him that was like talking to a brick wall though. He didn't listen. He just wanted to make sure you were safe and it made him feel stronger in a way.
He'd always find an excuse to accompany you on anything. I mean, what if some got the better of you while your guard was down? Of course he doesn't genuinely think that though.
Would never stop talking to you or teasing you about how quiet you were.
He loved it though.
And that's when he knew that he had fallen for you. Hard.
Inevitably, you began to talk back. Albeit snarky remarks, he still saw a chance in your reciprocation to his comments.
The snarky remarks and banters eventually became small chatter to conversations.
He started to be a little more touchy, always having a hand or arm around your shoulder, though for only a little time.
If you drank, you'd both often go to the Afterlife to drink.
Talking about the future of his crew and hoping to become some of the best mercs Night City has ever seen.
He told you about his history, his problems, anything and everything. He knew wouldn't be judged. He trusted you more than anyone in the crew.
He loved the comfort he received from you. Hugging started to become a regular interaction between you two when you were alone.
And then hugging became cuddling.
Comes to see you at your place heaps. Usually without notice. You got used to expecting him when you'd hear a knock at your door.
And when nothing was planned, getting calls from him became a known sign he wanted to hang about with you.
One night at the Afterlife with you alone, he had his arm wrapped around your shoulder and was oddly quiet.
After some silence, you finally asked what was wrong and he chuckled to himself before turning to you.
You were still as confused as you could be before he smirked and leaned into your ear to whisper that you've casted a spell on him. Before you could even reply, he kissed you.
You were stunned, but shortly after reciprocated the kiss and melted into his touch.
Eventually make-out sessions at the Afterlife became a regular interaction between you two.
Oh, and of course you're both dating now. PDA is big with him.
Dorio
Like Maine, she wasn't scared to approach you. Loved talking to you, even if you never said anything back.
Unlike Maine, she didn't try to protect you in fights. She would if she needed to but she knew you had your own in a fight.
Encounters with her would be slow and rare at the start but eventually catch pace fairly fast.
She was very caring towards you. Always asking if you were alright during meet-ups and/or if she just saw you alone and detached from the crew in your own little area.
Her attentive charm became comforting and you'd go to her or open up a little if something was the matter.
She felt very happy that she was that one you'd come to if something was wrong.
Dare I say it even boosted her ego a little.
You or her would always find a way to spend a little time together, even if it was just sitting down and having a drink.
Always asks to come see you at your apartment.
She was addicted to your company and she knew that she felt something for you. Something that she wanted to explore. She took her time to drop hints here and there.
If you oblivious to her some of her advances, she'd be a bit more obvious for you.
If you weren't, you'd express some interested back.
And at this point, it's just whoever made the first move.
Cuddling would be common amongst the both of you but they usually wouldn't last too long. She was a little worried that you'd start to become uncomfortable but if you expressed in your own way that you didn't mind. They'd continue a little longer.
She always offered to buy you things.
If you two were walking together and you stared at something a little too long, she'd remember and take it as a chance to visit the shop in her own time to buy you that item. If it was expensive, she wouldn't mind stealing it.
Gifts became a pretty regular thing with her.
She found enjoyment in spoiling you a little. She loved the small glint in your eye when she surprises you with an item of your interest.
Oh, she always offers you to work out with her. Basically your personal trainer sometimes, it was very sweet.
It took a little while for her to confess to you but it couldn't of gone any better than it did.
She took you to a secluded place where you both could be alone outside.
She hesitated a little bit but wasn't very long until she told you why she brought you here and confessed.
She was a little nervous, like a shy soft giant. So, what better thing to do than kiss her to relax her nerves?
She melted into the kiss and you both continued the night with care and love. (take that how you will)
Kiwi
When you both met, you rarely talked. Though, it surprised you when she approached you first at one of the parties that was taking place after a successful job. Of course you wouldn't show that you were surprised though.
She sat with you and let the quiet sit for a little before speaking a word. It was a small conversation but she enjoyed that you even replied back her.
These instances would happen time and time again when you'd both be exhausted from the crew and just need some peace.
It became a usual occurrence for either one of you to go searching for each other after spending time with the crew and you grew close.
Kiwi wasn't one to trust a soul but she found herself at ease and letting her guard down around you. It was.. a new feeling.
The invitation to her apartment came fairly slow though
You were both very sluggish when it came to your relationship.
Seeing each other at either one of your places was very rare and were usually offers rather than asks.
They were rarely denied though. The only time they were was if either of you were busy.
Eventually either one of you would start to drop things to hang out with each other.
She never got affectionate with you. She was still to herself.
And to be honest, she was a little scared.
I mean, what if you're just going to string her along and she's just used for some big plan of yours. She doesn't believe it but she still needs to be cautious, she doesn't know your intentions.
She does care about you.
During jobs and instances where she has to do netrunning, she always asks you to keep an eye out for her. Just in case if something happens.
She knows you can handle yourself and someone else if you need to so she trusts you with her life in situations like these.
Every time you both get out alive, the feeling grows stronger.
She starts to become more protective of you now.
Whenever Maine or Pilar picks or bothers you, she's always to your rescue to say something back to them before walking away with you to go do your own thing.
It took a really long time the confession to come but she knew that the feelings she felt were heavy for you and she needed to act out on them because the persistence was getting on her nerves.
So, while you both were at her apartment, she just looked at you and said what she need to say. No hesitation to be seen.
It came a little of a shock to you but you kissed her forehead and leaned on her. It was obvious in your reaction that you reciprocated.
Pilar
Thought your coldness was kinda hot.
Any time he'd get the chance, he'd sit next to you. Usually with one of his arms covering the back of the seat or one your shoulders.
He was very determined to fuck you and at first, that's all it was. Then he actually grew to kinda really like you?
It was new. He never thought of anything else but sex, but with you, he wanted to go further. He actually put some effort into it.
Still was his crazy, sex-craved self though. Just with.. more love?
There'd be times where you just leave whenever he'd even remotely open his mouth.
But there'd be other times where you'd just stay and listen to what he had to say because you didn't have anything else better to do, so why not?
Every now and then you'd humour him but only a bit, mainly by lightly smirking or humming.
He saw this as affirmation that you were totally into him. So he got a little more touchy.
If you weren't comfortable with how he was to you though, he'd tone it down but still let some things slip out. If you glared at him, he'd immediately whimper and apologise.
God forbid Rebecca saw this though. She'd never let him live it down.
Speaking of Rebecca, she was usually around a lot with Pilar so it'd be the three of you sometimes if you were hanging out.
Lots of loud, loud bickering.
If you left midway they probably wouldn't of even have noticed during but would definitely call you when they finally did.
Rebecca wasn't always tagging along though so don't worry.
Pilar was always with you, even if you didn't ask for it. Always having one of his freakishly long arms around you. Of course if you said so, he'd leave you alone.
He was very surprised whenever he invited you over and you accepted or you offered him to come to your place.
He started becoming more normal when you two were together and just by yourselves.
There'd just be conversations. None of them meaningful by any circumstances but enjoyable regardless. Ok well, maybe a handful of meaningful one.
He's not the kinda guy to just open up to someone. So it takes a bit for him to get used to it.
Unsuspecting visits became more and more common, to the poin they kinda just were expected with him.
During one of the hangouts at your place. He got serious. it was scary, honestly.
He sighed before explaining his predicament with his feelings towards you and apologises for he behaviour.
You just smiled softly before placing your lips against his and forgiving him.
After that night, he was a changed man (not really).
Rebecca
Like her brother, she thought you were very hot. Opposites attract after all.
Followed you everywhere, always talked to you even if you didn't say anything back.
At first, her personality was annoying but you grew to enjoy the company and it wasn't very long until you started talking back. She was very happy to finally have an actual conversation instead of just talk to herself.
You both were together basically everywhere you went. You'd both visit her apartment every now and then. Of course, it'd get very rowdy with her and her brother bantering and him not leaving either of you alone.
She'd always tell him to fuck off if he made any kind of sexual or crude remark about you and then just shove you both away from him.
Despite her being loud, she was very caring towards you and loved taking care of you. Even if you didn't ask for it.
She hug or cuddle you a lot. If you weren't comfortable about any of it though, she'd stop before pouting cutely and whispering sorry softly.
It was actually very adoarble.
She realised that the more she spent time with you, the more she felt strong feelings for you. She was falling for you very hard and she knew it.
Would always come up with cute funny nicknames to call you. Always call you cute and adorable.
She's also very dramatic with you sometimes.
She always tries to find a way to make you laugh and she finds that being overly dramatic with you sometimes can get a tiny giggle from you. Even if you try to play if off as something else, it warms her heart.
She loves being affectionate with you, holding hands, hugging you from behind unexpectantly, all of the above really.
She LOVES playing with your hair and styling it, especially to match hers. She think it's cute to match, so if she's given the opportunity, of course she's gonna take it, no questions asked.
She has a very, very, very big soft spot for you. Ask something from her or a favour and she'll do it straight away.
Oh, and also expect gifts for another way of showing you her undying love to you.
She's much like Dorio, except if she sees you stare at it while together, she'll just walk in and get it.
She's not gonna pay for it of course, why pay if you can just get it for free when you're already in some kind of trouble with the law? (please never adopt this mindset.)
It's actually how her confession came to be. She stole some diamond jewellery that she thought would look very nice on you.
Then she decided then when she gave you it, the news was gonna hit right after so you couldn't possibly say no to her anyways.
When she gives you the gift, she insists you put it on. Once you do, she just stares in awe before commenting how hot you look with it and mentioning how she's literally heads over heals for you.
It takes a little while for what she said to hit but once it did, she took the opportunity to surprise you further and kisses you deeply.
The night continued into many lip locking experiences~
Falco
Offered to buy you drink, whether you accepted or not, your interest towards each other grew during some tipsy chatter. However he did most of the talking.
He'd comment on how he thought that your lack of communication sometimes was fairly relaxing.
Not because he could say anything or whatever but because he's surrounded by loudmouthed mercs sometimes. He's only human after all. A modified human.
Very sweet towards you. Always offers to give you a ride home after jobs or parties.
Always asks if he can accompany you.
He was very gentlemen like to you, opening doors for you and pulling out chairs if you two were going out to eat together or walking around.
He's another one who'll buy gifts for you.
The realisation of his feelings came a little slow, he tried to push it down for a little while but it got the best of him and determined him to court you.
When he had the time, he'd buy you bouquets of flowers even if you didn't really like them. You slowly started enjoy the bouquets though and putting them in vases. You ran out of vases? No worries, he'll deliver them to you in vases.
Invites you out to pubs and always buys you your drinks. No person such as you should be paying for drinks yourself.
He'll always be sure to treat you, it's hard to treat him back since he always denies it. Though, that's only if he's around you. If you get it in your own time, he'll have no choice but to accept. He's sure to always treasure anything you give him.
Late night drives happen a lot. It's gorgeous. Sometimes you'll go out to the Nomad lands and get on a high place just to watch NC from afar.
If you ask, I'm sure he'll drive faster than what'd be considered safe. Some drifts maybe.
Eventually, you start coming to him when you're stressed and need to blow off some steam. Driving with him becomes one of your most favourited activities.
Though the confession didn't take action during on of these late night drives. It was instead over dinner.
While sat and waiting for your dinner. He was a little hesitant but delivered the news of his feelings nonetheless.
After confirming that you reciprocated. He nudged your foot with his and placed his hand over yours before the food had arrived. The rest of the dinner was mainly him talking about the usual stuff that had happened in his day.
After leaving the restaurant. You both left to sit in his car and that's when the first kiss had happened, and it lasted quite a while.
When he drove you back, you invited him inside to which he accepted and the both of you enjoyed the rest of your night in each others company.
Sasha
Excited to meet you. Very.
Probably would've put you off a little but eventually it got very easy to warm up to her.
When you two were alone, she always tried to fill the silence with chatter but she quickly learnt that silence was very comforting, especially with you
She was very sweet to you and was always the first one to come up to you after any job just to ask if you were ok and were feeling fine. Sometimes would offer to call a Delamain cab for you if you weren't able to drive or didn't want to walk home.
She was kinda like Dorio but a little more ecstatic.
Sometimes when she'd hit you up to ask if you were doing anything, she'd ask you out to nightclubs to dance with her and just hang out.
During these occurrences, seeing you have a little bit of fun every now and then, she grew addicted to see even just a little bit of a smile on your face.
And she realised that she liked you lots.
After that, she'd almost always ask to hang out and just do random things together.
Would always try to have breakfast, lunch, and dinner with you. She enjoyed your company plenty, even when you were quiet and not bothered to speak.
I should probably mention that before she was a little intimidated by you, and still is when you get super serious but she knows better now.
She comments how she kind of likes that look on you. The cold look of course.
The confession didn't take long to come as she was sure she really liked you.
During one of the midnight hangouts at one of the clubs in Night City. She mentioned how she really adored you and hopes that you and her could go further rather than being just friends.
You gently smiled and put you hand on hers before kissing her cheek.
She was a little shocked at it but very happy and asked if she could kiss you, and of course you accepted.
She was very happy to have come across you and go far with you in hopes of coming even further in the life of NC.
please do not repost my work anywhere. thank you.
