Can I be selfish and ask for lines 38 and 33 for Nyx?

Nyx Ulric x Reader: 33. “I-I just wanted to say that I uh, I missed you.” / 38. “I guess I just wanted to know if you missed me.”

Keeping a shield up had always been your forte. No matter whether it was on the battlefield – magic or physical – or in relationships. Yours had always been impenetrable.

No one before Nyx Ulric had even made a dent into your defenses.

“How was today?” he would ask when you were in putting your weapons away in the Kingsglaive HQ, ready to call it a day.

You just shrugged. His irritatingly simple question made your heart beat faster. Any attention from him always made you tense and mostly non-responsive.

“It was okay. Why?” you replied when Nyx didn’t react to the shrug.

“I guess I just wanted to know if you missed me.”

He was smirking. You didn’t even have to turn to see. You rushed out of the room as soon as you could.

–

Fast-forwarding into the future after your next mission, you found yourself sitting in the armory, staring at your hands. Mere hours ago they had been covered with the blood of your comrade. There was nothing you could have done, but you couldn’t muster the strength to stop staring at them.

Out of all people, Nyx Ulric was the last one still in the room. He was delaying leaving on purpose, that much was clear.

Out of all people, it could’ve been Nyx as well whose blood you had had in your hands. But it wasn’t. The realization made something move uncomfortably inside you. It was pain, but also relief.

It took amoment for you to grasp he had sat next to you.

“Hey… You okay?” he asked quietly. You were ready to leave the room, to change clothes and head home. Everyone else had already done so.

Your body found the sudden urge to jump up and take off, but you just nodded.

“Look, it sucks but these things happen. We just were luckier today.”

He was right.

“Nyx?”

“Yeah?”

“I-I just wanted to say that, uh…” You moved your hands to your sides, out of sight. “I missed you.”

Nyx was silent. You didn’t dare to look at him. Then he placed a hand on your shoulder, gave it a light squeeze and hummed: “One more reason for me to come home alive then.”

[thepandadrawer]

You and Nyx for the send in a ship thing?

Who is a night owl:

Nyx and I are.

Who is a morning person:

I am cause I usually wake up at unusual hours.

Are they cuddlers:

I am. I need to be close to him XD

Who is the big spoon and who is the little spoon:

I am the little spoon and he is the big spoon.

What is their favourite sleeping position:

Me on top of him, laying on his chest.

Who steals all the blankets:

I do. I am a confirmed bedhog.

What they wear to bed:

Nyx usually just sleeps in pants and no shirt, I would usually sleep like that as well, wearing a bra or just wear one of his shirts with no pants.

Who likes seeing the other wearing their t-shirt:

Nyx would be the one seeing me in one of his shirts. He loves it.

Who falls asleep mid-conversation:

Nyx does cause he’s always tired. Poor baby hardly has time for sleep.

Who wakes up in the middle of the night with nightmares:

Nyx does. He has nightmares about his sister and mother, almost scare to the point he was crying one time cause he blames himself.

Who accidentally punched the other in their sleep:

I accidentally kicked Nyx in the crowned jewels. My legs like to spasm out when I sleep, but it only happens ever so often. I apologized, but only after I laughed my ass off.

Who can’t keep their hands to themself:

We both can’t. When he’s spooning me, he likes to have at least one hand on my breasts. I don’t know what usually happens to me when I sleep, but Nyx told me that I had actually was copping a feel myself, under the belt if you know what I mean >:3c

[mechanicalinertia]

What’s next for Divine Patronage?

So my Ranma / Ah My Goddess! / other miscellaneous anime that take place in 1990′s Tokyo fanfic has become more popular than anything else I’ve ever written. I may have classes but this is my designated ‘leisure activity’ now for sure.

Anyway, I have a rough idea for this initial ‘arc’, and how it’ll end. Fine. Whatever. More importantly, though, I have continuing ideas about how to cross over more and more mid-90′s anime and other things into this mishmash where Urd and Ranma have to ‘problem-solve’ things. Christ I wrote like 9 possible arc setups last night; it’ll take me years to make good on them if I do at all.

That’s why I’m a-posting brief summaries of them here, so if I give up on these people can just steal em’.

1. CRIMES OF THE MISHIMA GROUP AGAINST GOOD TASTE

Sayoko Mishima and her zaibatsu god-nap Keiichi and in doing so royally piss off Belldandy. Urd has to snatch the poor kid, who is now a minor god, out from Sayoko’s clutches before Belldandy just loses it and nukes earth in silent rage. Ranma can’t beat the compound alone, though, so Urd turns to Akiko Natsume - the actual head of Mishima - and her all purpose combat android for some help. Unfortunately, the android has a cat brain. Cue Ranma struggling to confront his fears to save the world.

Crossover with: All Purpose Cultural Catgirl Nuku Nuku, a medium-obscure OVA from the 90′s starring Megumi Hayashibara as the wacky cat-bot-girl with Saeko Shimazu (Kodachi’s voice among others) as Akiko. Good fun.

2. FATE / STRANGE; DAYS

Remember Lind, the Valkyrie from the Angel Eater Arc of AMG? Well, she back. She intervened in Fate / Zero’s Holy Grail War (assumed to take place around 1994) and contracted w/ Kiritsugu the way Urd did with Ranma. Now Kiri may have lost all his lady companions, but he gets Illya back from Germany and is raising her alongside Shirou with the help of Illya’s wacky maids. Maybe lil’ Rin and Sakura are involved, too, I dunno.

Anyway, Lind considers the Sailor Senshi a threat to the divine order (they do appear to predate human civilization) - especially since Saturn’s Glaive of Silence is believed to be the Norse Gungnir, Spear of Destiny, Odin’s superweapon that could (even in the OG myths) rewrite reality itself to render enemies nonexistent.

So Lind gets Kiritsugu, Arturia Saber, and Prisma Illya to go to Tokyo and track down Sailor Saturn with Ranma’s help. Then they end up teleporting to the distant past of the Silver Milennium, back when the Senshi’s magic rendered the other planets of the Solar System inhabitable. Cue a string of John Carter references.

Crossover with: Fate / Zero, Fate Kaleid Liner Prisma Illya. Might even separate the Fate story from the whole Saturn / Gungnir subplot - they’re just hunting Kirei and Gil, then. Sure. Fine.

3. THE FUTURE IS HERE AND IT SUCKS

Skuld time travels into the future, only to find that almost every single timeline ends with humanity being wiped out before the 22nd century - perhaps by SM’s Great Freeze, perhaps by other factors. Unfortunately, she forgot to close her possible-future-timeline portals properly, which leads to various cyberpunk futures bouncing off one another for supremacy in 1996.

(Look I wanted to just fuckin do BGC or GITS crossover. Couldn’t decide. Why not both?)

Crossover with: BGC 2032 (Or my 2069 rebot), Ghost in the Shell, Silent Mobius (maybe)

4. GAMES OF THE GODS

The obligatory ‘gang plays an RPG’ sitcom episode, only a) it’s Cyberpunk 2020 because I’ve read that system’s books, and b) the goddesses all bring their boytoys along to be sucked into the game world as their player characters. (Urd gets Ranma, Bell gets Keiichi, Skuld is the GM, Peorth gets Ryoga, Lind gets Kiritsugu) (I guess I better do an arc where Peorth patronizes Ryoga to screw with Urd...)

5. GUNS, BOMBS, ROCK N’ ROLL

Ranma gets dragged along by Urd for a vacation, theoretically to LA. But then after getting bored of the Obligatory Beach Episode, Urd rediscovers that she has a daughter in Chicago - Rally Vincent. She and Ranma rush off to screw up the events of the manga and protect her daughter from the brainwashing of a lesbian rapist crime lord. (I wish I was making that last bit up). Maybe Priss of BGC tags along to really hammer in the WACKY KENICHI SONODA CROSSOVER thing?

Crossover with: Gunsmith Cats, Riding Bean, maybe BGC

6. HEISEI BLOSSOMS BLOOMING

The Japanese government decides to reactivate the Teikoku Kagekidan project, this time using idoru as the mecha pilots instead of the Takarazura Revue thing they had going on in the 20′s. The K-on girls audition, the Love Live girls audition, someone in the Ranma cast or something tries out as well. Mecha are now nuclear-powered instead of steam-powered (whatever that means)

Crossover with: Original Sakura Wars franchise, Tite Kubo iteration non-involved. maybe K-on and Love Live

7. RANMA’S LUDICROUS EXCURSION: STAR-DIAMOND DUST IS UNCRUSADERABLE

Ranma gets a stand. Urd thinks it’s like her angel. Yare yare daze.

Crossover with: What do you think, genius?

8. ETERNAL SUMMER

Ranma gets trapped in a temporal anomaly centered around Tomobiki Town. Now it’s August 1982, Ataru and Lum are about to get married, and unless he can stop the total breakdown of the pocket reality within the seven days before the time loop resets he’ll become part of it forever. Trippy New Wave Existentialist Bullshit - Screwball Comedy meets Body Horror. Also see: Higurashi.

Crossover with: Urusei Yatsura

9. TRICOWBOYOUTLAW BEBOPGUNSTAR: EFF YOU, SPACE COWBOY

A valiant attempt to crossover all three of the late 90′s ‘Cowboy shonen’ anime of the time in one universe. A shared universe? Nah. We’re probably just gonna transplant all the characters into 90′s Tokyo again and watch the body count pile up.

Crossover with: Cowboy Bebop, Outlaw Star, Trigun. Oh, and maybe one of those ‘robo-maid’ shows from the aughties (Hand Maid May, Mahoromatic, Steel Angel Kurimi), just to fuck with everyone.

10. COPS AND ROBOTS

Ranma gets in trouble with the police for sneaking onto the Babylon Project, forced into community service, and then ends up blackmailed into the long-running grudgematch between the SV2 Labor Squad and the Tokyo Highway Patrol.

Crossover with: You’re Under Arrest, Patlabor (original OVA mostly)

11. SUPERIOR AUTOMATRONIC DISPUTE RESOLUTION: GO NAGAI EAT YOUR HEART OUT

Skuld gets in a fight with some deities from some rival pantheons, and as a proper grudgematch resolution they all resolve to build Giant Robots and then Battle Royale them. Ranma has to pilot one.

Crossover with: NOTHING.

12. THE HOUND OF ULSTER BARKS AT MIDNIGHT

Cu Chullain, husbando of Ex-Valkyrie and turncoat Irish goddess Scathach, teams up with Ranma in Dublin to stop IRA extremists from resurrecting the Tuatha De Dannan, specifically the Morrigan. A teenage Bazett (from Fate) shows up and gets all fangirly.

13. TALES FROM THE OOPS

An abandoned particle accelerator built in the 80′s near Stockholm may or may not cause Ragnarok. Ranma and some edgy Swedish Teenagers have to deal with 90′s recession bullshit and clean the place out

Crossover with: Tales from the Loop, Things From the Flood

That’s about it, honestly. I have other things I’d like to crossover with, tbh, mostly mecha stuff. Among them:

- Cannon God Exaxxion

- Eva

- Gundam UC

- Muv-Luv

-Negmia / another Ken Akumatsu trashpile (and I mean that in the best possible way)

Shit this is fun. Imma make another one of these posts with even more ludicrious crossovers later. Peace out.

Rankin’ the Waifus

I feel like when you’re drunk with friends, you either have the best ideas ever, or the worst ideas. Which is this? Well, at first, I thought this was a fantastic idea, given that @fukae-flwr challenged Drunk Me to do this, until she gave me the rules. . . The rules made it even harder for Drunk Me to do, leaving Sober Me to rise to the challenge, just to prove her wrong. Now, I know what you’re thinking, “Persephone, you have too many Waifus, ranking them is like picking between them is impossible,” but I finally, after a lot of debate, reviewing, and “friendly” discussions, involving way to much cussing and slamming of hands with friends, I was finally able to settle on the list, so without further ado, here are the rules.

1) Only one character from the franchise.

2) They have to be Waifus, not favorite characters (this rule comes in to play a lot later on).

Let’s kick off this list now with the easiest thing, the honorable waifus.

Honorable Mentions:

Now, these are in no particular order, because even leaving them off the top 10 was hard enough.

Lucy Heartfillia: Fairy Tail

This one waifu per series is the only reason why Lucy had to be cut from the main list. Let’s clear something up here, Lucy is Top Tier Waifu, especially in a series with as many Waifus as there are. Lucy has everything, from a fantastic development, to a great personality, to a gorgeous character design, and she definitely deserves more praise in the series than she gets. Sadly, my waifu choice from this series, only barely beats Lucy, but not mentioning her would be a crime.

Rindo Kobayashi: Shokugeki no Souma

Rindo is the most obvious choice from this waifu heavy series. She’s spunky, entertaining, and a glutton to boot, but above all, she’s actually a terrifying opponent to go against, especially since she’s one of the best cooks in the series. I mean hell, she literally uses alligator in one battle simply because she just felt like it, and her being apart of Centrol and having access to as many resources as they do. From the moment she’s introduced, she stole every scene she was in, even if it was just for a panel or two, if that’s not a waifu, I don’t know what is.

Maika Sakuranomiya: Blend S

This is where that waifu rule plays in.  Maika is my waifu of the series, not my favorite character; that title is held strong by Hidori, the trap idol who steals the series from the moment they are introduced in episode 8.  Maika, and her non-intentional sadistic look, make her the best waifu choice.  It’s endearing, and sweet to watch her try her hardest to not be sadistic, but fail making all of us fall in love with her more.  Also, who doesn’t love a bit of sadism in their waifus?

C.C: Code Geass

Ah, the waifu who started this whole drunken debate.  She’s the classic, Pizza Hut loving, immortal waifu, who is literally unforgetable.  The latest addition of her to my massive figure collection only reminded me just how strong of a waifu choice she really is, despite being from one of the oldest series on this list.  

Mayoi Hachikuji, Tsubasa Hanekawa, Hitagi Senjougahara:  The Monogatari Franchise

Honestly, a solid argument could be made for any of these girls to be the second best waifu.  You have Hanekawa, the lovely class president who only knows what she knows, Hitagi, the tsundere who has an unhealthy obsession with stationary, Mayoi, the dead snail ghost-turned-god girl who has literally the cutest bit with Araragi in the entire series, or even Karen and Tsukihi, the Fire Sisters of our main character.  Every girl in this series is a valid choice; well all but Nadako.  Fuck Nadako.  

Now that those mentions are out of the way, let’s get to the truly hard part.  

Top Ten Waifus: 

10: Homura Akemi: Puella Magi Madoka Magica

Okay, she’s not really 10, but I’m still mad at her, and after a full hour of debate, I still couldn’t justify putting her above any of the 9 other waifus who I wasn’t eternally mad at, so that valid.  Homura is such a bad ass, and honestly, one of the more deadlier choices of a waifu, adding on the massive magical girl obsession I have, I physically couldn’t leave her off the list.  

9: Brandish μ: Fairy Tail

Ah, Brandish, the Nation Destroyer herself.  She’s perfect, in every way, and I’ve loved her from the moment she was introduced in the final arc, and by far one of the standouts of Alvarez.  She’s adorable with her unique design, a massive cat obsession, and a stupidly powerful magic.  Also, she’s one of the few characters to actually get some development in the entire arc.  Mashima didn’t do a lot of good things in that arc, but he did gift the world with Brandish, so I can’t be too upset.  

8: Retsuko: Aggretsuko

One of the most relatable waifus anyone could ask for, but what more could I say that isn’t obvious?  She’s a Sanrio Red Panda who works in an office, hates her boss, and sings Death Metal kareoke.  I know she’s supposed to be an adorable mascot meant as a way to get us to spend money on her merchandise, but damnit Sanrio, did you have to make her this cute?!  Ugh, just take all my money already.  

7: Minako Aino (Sailor Venus): Sailor Moon

This is where the waifu of the series rule killed me.  My favorite character is Hotaru (Saturn), but I wouldn’t consider her a waifu; she’s more of a badass senshi who can literally destroy an entire galaxy with one swoosh of her Silence Glaive.  The only three I would consider waifu enough for this list are Seiya, Usagi, and Minako, but after breaking it down throughly with @fukae-flwr​, we were finally able to come down to the decision that Seiya, while being fantastic in every way, is not a waifu, and Usagi, while being relatable as fuck and lovable to boot, is and can only be Seiya’s Waifu, leaving Minako, the winner of the debate, and for good reason too.  She’s loveable, kind, caring, powerful and the leader of the inner senshi, and S Tier waifu material, so overall, I can’t be unhappy with the outcome of the debate.  

6. Android 21:  The Dragonball Franchise

Okay, this one was the hardest series for me to pick just one waifu from.  With so many choices, from Bulma to Android 18 to even Launch, (remember her? no? It’s okay, even Toriyama doesn’t).  I love all most of the Dragonball Waifus, so why did I ultimately settle for for the best Video Game Bae?  Simple.  She’s a badass who is hot as hell and literally eats people. . . .so a kink basically, but like, can you blame me?

5. Himako Toga: My Hero Academia

A knife wielding, psychopathic, serial killing yandere schoolgirl? There isn’t even a contest, Toga is best girl.  Period.  I will fight anyone who says otherwise.  

4. Stocking Anarchy: Panty and Stocking With Garterbelt

Again, this is another obvious choice as far as waifus go.  It was during yet another rewatch of this underrated show that I realized how much I genueinly love Stocking, and she’s clearly the better choice over Panty.  Stocking is the sweets loving, emo fallen angel/demon who cusses like a sailor and is into bondage.  Yes, I am aware, it’s another kink, but I don’t care, not even a little bit.  

3: Shalltear Bloodfallen: Overlord

Yeah, I choose Shalltear over Albedo.  Shalltear is best girl, and I’ll fight anyone who says otherwise.  I will admit though, that while Albedo is gorgeous and a great choice, Shalltear is a vampire with lesbian tendencies, and that instantly puts her above the virgin succubus.  Thank you Lord Peroroncino. 

2. Shiro: No Game No Life

When making this list, and talking out all of the waifu ranking, there were two that didn’t budge on the list at all, Shiro, and the number one choice.  Shiro is perfect, and even in a series with freaking fox people and Jibril, and that says something.  

1. Shinobu Oshino ( Kiss-Shot Acerola-Orion Heart-Under-Blade): The Monogatari Franchise

Meet the Best Waifu in existence.  Honestly, it doesn’t matter if she’s in her Shinobu form, or her fully powered vampire form.  Shinobu/Kiss Shot is by far the best waifu anyone could have.  She’s a freaking powerful vampire that’s gorgeous, and mysterious in her true form, and even in her weaker form still manages to be powerful, snarky, and adorable as hell.  Also, her reaction to donuts will literally be the greatest thing in waifu history.  Ugh, I love her.  

And there you have it.  10 waifus ranked, and it only took three days, three people to rant to, and a shitton of headache pain killers later.  @fukae-flwr​ told you I could do it.  Next challenge. . . Husbandos.   Oof.  

So yeah. . . . Thoughts I guess?

Seeing that he’s wounded, she takes him to her family house and nurses him back to health. Even though she didn’t know him, she helped him, which confused Ardyn. So he decided to observe her by coming by the house when she was home. What first started off as just observing turned into something more when she offered him kindness when none else would.

All of Them. All Of The Questions.

The fool here was I. These are gonna be about Seine. 

1: What’s your OC’s biggest insecurity and how would they react if someone pointed it out to them?

I think Seine’s biggest fear is not being enough, not hitting this invisible standard set for him. I almost want to say he it constantly flirting with a need for perfection. Everything must be in its place and he must be correctly in his. If this were to be pointed out to him it would probably go over his head in a sense that its so tangled up with him that he wouldn’t get its negative impact. It’s the way it’s always been for him.

2: If your OC wants to buy a firearm, what it might be for?

To end something quickly and efficiently.

3: Does your OC behave differently around different people, if so with whom and how?

To friendly acquaintances he tries to carry himself with dignity and treat them with a formal respect. Everyone is his equal but he has an almost bodyguard like mentality about it. He may converse but it will be short and often to the point.

He’s about the same with those ‘closer’ to him but they may be able to find his smile and he tends to be a lot more relaxed around them. He tends to watch his words less though there is still a grasp at formality.

With his husband he is the most relaxed and more likely to speak what is on his mind. He tends to visibly light up when the other man is around and it’s much easier to see the start of a smile pulling at his features.

4: Would your OC want to involve themselves in humanitarian work ? If yes, then for what? If not, then why not?

Yes I think he would try and aid those struck by disaster, though in the world of dnd I think he’d be much more likely to try and end the source of disaster unless it was natural. A head of the snake kinda guy but this does not mean he would deny helping those struck by it.

5: How would your OC generally react to someone being verbally abusive towards them for no apparent reason?

He wouldn’t understand what was going on. He’d try and see if there was truth to what was said but depending on what was said it probably wouldn’t have a huge effect on Seine.

6: Does your OC have a realistic image of their own intelligence?

He’s a bit hammer meets nail to everything and so he may miss his int on that sense but he also well aware he doesn’t understand emotional intelligence.

7: Does your OC have any irrational phobias?

No idea. If he did I think he’d be one of those people that force themselves to face it because his will to be the best is stronger. 

8: How is/was your OC’s relationship with their parents?Complicated, he resents them without realizing it. He respects them as his parents and would do nothing untoward to them. He is to his best abilities the perfect son they wished him to be.

9: Does your OC feel a pressure to achieve or are they content and calm with doing what they can at the moment?

He’s gotta be the very best or at the very least he must do his best at all times. There is a general sense of pressure in that but he’s not really in a panic about it. It’s more like an expression of will.

10: Does your OC guard their emotions by being tough? If not how would they?

Kinda? More its that he’s always guarded them by not acknowledging, relating or understanding them.

11: How would your OC react to hearing they’re adopted?

It would explain a lot and his upbringing would make more sense. Unsurprising his initial reaction would be next to nothing. I think if he was able to actually processes things normally he would be sad but have a reason for why things were the way they were.  

12: What is one of the most primary things your OC feels that is missing from their life?

Husbando! On a more deeper level perhaps the ability to just let go to just be without some goal or something to be related to. He doesn’t know how to simply exist.

13: What kind of situations does your OC avoid the most?

Emotional situations, he is ill equipped to handle them and will quickly look at it in a problem and solution like manner or he will have nothing to offer at all.

14: If your OC gets into a fight with their best friend, would they wait for their friend to make up with them, or would they try to make up with their friend?

Depends on what its about and who Seine believes is in the wrong. He may placate but without actually addressing any underlying issues. Though if it is an error on his end he will probably be the first to attempt a reconnect.

15: Does your OC consider themselves a good person?

Yes or at the very least he doesn’t see himself as a bad person.

16: Is your OC good at giving others validation of their feelings and making them feel understood?

No, nope.

17: Does your OC suffer from any mental health issues?

Kinda.  I’m not gonna answer this one on the good ole tumbledotcom but conclusions can be made for this.

18: What kind of interpersonal values does your OC have? (values about their self, what makes them feel like a valid person).

He wants to be the rock in the room and if people count on him for that then he is valid.

19: What boosts your OC’s confidence the most?

Killing a powerful foe. It means he’s getting closer to his ultimate goal of being a champion.

20: Does your OC hurt others often unintentionally? If yes, how?

His emotional issues make it easy for him to accidentally hurt people.

21: Does your OC hurt others often intentionally? If yes, how?

If you are in his way or an enemy he will stop at nothing to destroy you with his glaive or sword.

22: How does your OC usually show affection? Are they openly romantic or more restricted with their affectionate emotions?

Seine is undoubtedly restricted with his affections. For people he gets on with he tend to hand near them like a cat. For romantic interests he’s also generally subdued but he is more likely to invade personal space or just hang very close if not touching.

23: Does your OC tend to hide something about their personality/essence when meeting new people? If yes, what?

His whole ass personality.

24: How would your OC react if they got humiliated by someone in a group of people?

Threaten/attack them if feasible and quite possibly threaten or attack them in its not. Though it depends on where it is because some of his upbringing would get in the way of him decking the lord of a manor in the middle of a party but he’d certainly want to.  

25: How would your OC process the grief caused by the death of a loved one?

Seine would shut down and return to the empty and emotionlessness he knows. It would be hard to reach him and he would basically become a robot.

26: What is the most intense thing your OC has been battling with?

Facing his emotions and trying to actually parse them.

27: Does your OC practise any kind of escapism? If yes, what kind?

I don’t think so.

28: How would your OC react if a bully stole their lunch money in high school?

Bold of you to assume it would be stolen in the first place without great bodily harm on both sides. Though if this was when he was actually a child he wouldn’t react at all. It would be like it didn’t happen.

29: How does your OC behave on the face of a conflict?

Find source, defeat it, profit. Unless it’s talking, then let someone else do that and back up if needed.

30: What makes your OC defensive quickest?

Threatening those he sees under his protection. I’m not sure what would make him verbally defensive

Bar in Galahd: Part 2

@nyxulricweek Day 8 | Creator’s Choice Word count: 3909 Pairing: Nyx Ulric x Female Reader Warnings: SFW, alcohol, pining Summary: Nyx and Libertus fulfill their lifelong dream of running a bar, so what better place could your squad have for hanging out? Part 2 of 2. Read part 1 here.

It took weeks to find the time for your squad to gather again. Same crowd, same place, different drinks. Ever since the night you had turned eighteen, your heart had been restless, speeding up and slowing down completely at its own will. Or maybe it moved by the will of your secret thoughts, pushed to the furthest pits of your mind, only to be burst free whenever you laid eyes on Nyx.

You wished you had never allowed your drunken thoughts to take lead on matter of your feelings towards him. The thought had been so clear, so bright and relieving that you couldn’t let go of it.

Unfortunately, the only immediate outcome was more suffering and heartache for you, since the only thing that had changed between you and Nyx was found inside your head.

“Hey Nyx, how’d it go with Laura yesterday?” Corvin asked with a very evident waggling of his brow.

You blinked into your drink. Your heartrate sped up and there was an uncomfortable feeling of something strangling your insides. It wasn’t the first emotional heart attack ever since your mind blowing realization and it surely wouldn’t be the last.

Nyx let out a restrained chuckle. “It uhh, it went well.” With his eyes he tried to convey a message to his friend that it was not the time or place to talk about it.

“Aww, c’mon Vin. Not in front of the ladies,” Libertus said and motioned towards you and Selena, who was leaning over the table with a stern furrowing of her brows. She seemed undeniably interested in hearing more about this Laura person.

You didn’t know how to react. You wanted to throw in a snarky comment about Libertus calling you a lady, or joke about Nyx’s date, but the words got stuck into your throat.

So what if he had been out with someone? Why did hearing that make you feel so awful? You tried to swallow the rousing feelings with a mouthful of alcohol.

“Oh, so something did happen?” Corvin continued, ignoring Libertus’s comment.

You wanted to get up and go out for a breather, but your rear was glued to the chair.

“Not really…” Nyx said tentatively. Not like anyone believed him. He sounded like it was the last topic he wanted to discuss. The only reason he would answer in the first place was to make sure no one got the wrong idea from Corvin.

And so Corvin continued to pester Nyx and he kept offering short, dismissive replies. You tried to focus on your drink, but forced yourself to throw in a teasing comment or two just to make sure your behavior didn’t seem suspicious. With a few exaggerated yawns your act was believable.

It took long enough for the topic to turn from Nyx’s love life. No one had noticed your uncomfort, but it was only relieving. The situation wasn’t something you would want to experience again – which was more than likely – but you had managed through it.

It was hard to listen to, to put it mildly. Your heart stung and the relief you felt after moving forward from the topic was ridiculous. It was jealousy. And you had no reason, no right to feel that way.

Nyx looked as cool as ever, not bothered by Corvin’s lewd comments and invasive questions. You tried not to look at him. You looked at Selena, Libertus, glanced at Corvin, then at Selena again, but your gaze kept drawing to the happy smirk on Nyx’s face and inspecting the new tattoo on his cheek bone.

You were just about ready to give up for the night and head home, when Nyx informed that it was time to retire for the night. Before anyone could say anything, your mouth opened.

“I’ll help you clean up. I have nothing tomorrow.”

You were pretty sure it was a lie. In that moment you had no idea about the contents of your calendar, but spending some more time with Nyx… You needed it like you needed to breathe.

“Sure, thanks.” He flashed a smile to you that made your knees weak.

Instant regret and excitement flushed down your spine. Selena threw in some interested looks at you, but stayed her tongue. Maybe she knew you had obligations on the following day, which you had graciously forgotten all about.

It took some time for the squad members to actually leave. Libertus offered to walk Selena home, at Nyx’s silent insistence, and Corvin departed with shameless grins. Nyx would have to do some cleaning before calling it a night, but you promised to help him. Since you didn’t have anything planned. Hopefully.

You gathered the empty cups and bottles on a tray and followed Nyx into the kitchen. He held the door open for you. You almost tripped when you were too focused on his face instead of balancing the glasses.

The kitchen was annoyingly bright, clean and smelled super good. You passingly thought it was like another dimension. You placed the tray on the counter and turned to look at Nyx.

You were alone with him.

Suddenly it was hard to breathe and you had to force yourself to stay in motion and not freeze. Nyx was just whistling quietly as he put away the snacks and unopened bottles.

Astrals help you, his mere presence made your head spin and heart flutter. You hadn’t been alone with him in the same room since… since…

“Tonight was fun.”

“Huh?” you coughed and caught yourself staring at Nyx. None of what he had just said had been registered into your brain.

“Uh, it was fun. To hang out. It’s been a while,” he continued, suddenly an awkward undertone in his voice.

You forced out a cheerful laughter, but it just ended up into a high-pitched squealing. “Yeah, it was,” you said hastily to mask the failed attempt at sounding casual.

Why, oh why was it so damn hard to be in his company? All the years spent distancing yourself from the pointless daydreams flushed down the drain. You felt like a teenager again. And hated it. You were a grown woman, Astrals damn it. You should have been able to have a normal conversation with your best friend’s big brother.

No, you would have to say something. Corvin had said Nyx had been out with someone. You would have to make your move soon, before he would go and fall for some random chick. If that would happen, you would never be able to forgive yourself.

Nyx smiled tentatively. It was obvious on his face that he was worried about your odd behavior, but he just turned back to putting the stuff in place.

You stood still and cleared your throat. The situation was begging for you to act. You had him alone after a nice evening spent drinking and laughing. While you didn’t feel like you were buzzed, alcohol was most likely still coursing in your veins, giving the much needed encouragement for you to open your mouth. It was now or never. Then it would be over – one way or another.

“Nyx, there’s something I need to–”

The loud clatter of an empty bottle against the floor where it started rolling further from the table interrupted you.

“Oh, shit… Sorry, you were saying?”

Your gaze shifted slowly from the bottle to Nyx. His expression was gentle and mildly curious. “I, uhh, nothing… I forgot what I was gonna say.”

On second thought, maybe straight up confessing your feelings wasn’t the best idea after drinking. The shit Corvin had said during the evening was definitely influencing your choice of timing.

Nyx cocked a brow at you and chuckled. “Okay then. Lemme know when you remember.”

He turned away again and your cursed your indecisive ass.

Soon. You would tell him soon.

Truth or Dare

“Heyyy, looking gorgeous, girl!” Corvin said and eyed you up and down in comically grand motion.

“You always have eyes only for her. Tsk tsk,” Selena tutted, interrupting your intended reply of repulsion.

Nyx’s hand was on Corvin’s shoulder faster than he could aim a dirty compliment at Selena. “Seriously man, cut it off.”

“What?” Corvin motioned to you, “Just look at her. You’d be mad not take her out–”

“For the love of Eos, Vin, I’m not going on a date with you,” you snarled loudly.

Nyx shot a blank look at you and you tried to herd the group towards the table, hoping the topic wouldn’t be brought up anymore. Ever.

It was hard enough to push back the thought of doing what you had intended to do a while ago – you still hadn’t told Nyx about your feelings, and at this rate you probably never would. The more time passed, the more blatantly Corvin was throwing flirty remarks and hinting towards uncomfortable topics. It only made it harder for you to actually bring anything of the same theme up with Nyx.

Corvin was an idiot, it was nothing new to you, but you still knew he wasn’t trying to make you feel bad on purpose. He was just sometimes an asshole who didn’t consider other people’s feelings. Over the years you had gotten the brunt of it, as had Nyx and Selena. Libertus was surprisingly good at dodging his asinine behavior.

The guys headed to the kitchen to grab some snacks and drinks, so you and Selena sat down. You both were glad to have the squad together again. While a few years back you had felt like you didn’t have the time or opportunity to hang out with your friends anymore, the situation had started to turn upside down. The age gap felt smaller with each year into adulthood and your life situations and interests were again lining up with the guys.

It made you happy. Not only because of your long history together, but because you genuinely enjoyed the company of Nyx, Libertus and even Corvin, though you would never admit that aloud. Along with Selena they were like a family to you. All those years spent playing in the mud had to count for something and you felt like you were collecting the fruits of that labor now, over a decade later.

The evening went by as usual for the most part, but then Corvin decided it was time to spice it up a little and suggested drinking games. Selena thought it was a good idea, Nyx was interested and Libertus commented, “Why the hell not.”

All eyes were on you as you sipped down your drink. You hadn’t prepared getting drunk as a skunk, but you really didn’t have anything against it either.

“Let’s do it.” You sounded more eager than you felt.

Corvin started explaining the rules with heavy added commentary from Lib. You had never before played any drinking games, but it sounded like the gist of it was just to get drunk while having fun. It was innocent enough and you agreed to keep it simple and harmless.

Corvin spun the bottle and while everyone more or less held their breath, it stopped to point at you.

“Truth or dare?” he asked with a sly smile.

“Uhm.” There was one question you absolutely wanted to avoid at all costs and it was the one Corvin would shoot just to see you squirm. “Dare.”

He leaned back on the chair, arms folded on his chest and hummed in thought. “Alright. You’re gonna spend seven minutes in the cleaning closet.”

“What? Why?” you yelped, partly laughing at the bizarre dare.

“Because I say so. And you’re gonna choose someone to go with you.”

Your heart skipped a beat. You instantly turned to look at Selena. She was already getting up from the chair.

“I’ll go with Nyx.”

After freezing in the air for a second, Selena’s butt fell back to the stool.

It was a short moment that lasted until the fierce debate in your mind was over. You shouldn’t have said that. Why did you do it? Now everyone would know about your secret infatuation with Nyx. They weren’t that stupid.

You waited for a word of protest from anyone, but Corvin was just grinning at you like the Cheshire cat.

“The cleaning closet. Off you go,” Libertus commanded and pointed at the inconspicuous small door in the corner of the room.

When the door shut after Nyx, the brilliance and horror of Corvin’s plan dawned on you. Seven minutes locked in a tight space face to face with Nyx wouldn’t do well for keeping your thoughts straight. The only reason he could stand so motionless was his hunter training.

You wanted to apologize to Nyx, but you both heard the chitter and shuffling from outside the door. There must have been three pairs of ears glued on the wood. You swallowed. It would’ve been easier without the faint beam of light coming from the wide gap above the door. Your eyes adapted quickly to the extremely dim lighting.

“It was about damn time, I say,” you could hear Corvin laugh. Lib snorted. You wanted to facepalm, but that meant you might have accidentally touched Nyx.

“No way,” Selena protested instantly, “They’re not gonna do anything.”

Nyx was biting his lip, trying not to burst into laughter. It was easier when he had something else to focus on than your face right in front of him, just a slight lean away…

You shifted your weight and took the tiniest step back to have just a little more distance to Nyx’s shallow breaths. The proximity was making your heart hammer very uncomfortably.

Your heel hit a cleaning bucket and the light touch caused a mop to fall over. Nyx lunged forward to catch it, arm reaching out over your shoulder. He was closer than before.

“You okay?” he asked. The surprisingly husky voice sent a warm jolt through you. For a fleeting moment you imagined what it would feel like against your ear or neck.

“Y-yeah. Sorry,” you stammered nervously.

Nyx placed the mop back while you leaned away from his arm, eyes strictly on his chest.

How many minutes had passed already? Three? Two and half? You could hear his every breath, your every damn loud heartbeat. It was nerve-wrecking.

“Sorry about this,” you whispered, hopefully so quietly that the party behind the door didn’t hear.

Nyx shook his head and hummed in disapproval. More time passed in silence. Corvin was wondering were you already making out and Selena laughed at the absurd thought. You shook your head at them.

Nyx was staring at you. He really tried not to, but it was dark and you avoided his gaze. All those things Corvin had said were still making his blood boil in anger and frustration. It was one thing to joke about his failed date, but he couldn’t stand to see the uncomfortable look on your face. It made his heart chest feel tight, but his hands were bound. There was only so much he could do for his little sister’s friend without–

He was alone with you now. In a dark closet. You were standing right in front of him, trying to be just as still as he was, but he could hear how your heart was hammering.

You felt rather than saw Nyx shift on his feet and couldn’t help but take a glance at him. He was… smiling? Probably, since it was hard to see.

Wait. Was he leaning in?

“Nyx,” you breathed quietly.

“Time!” Selena shouted and the closet door burst open. Light flooded into your eyes, forcing you to look away.

“So?” Corvin inquired eagerly, trying to detect the faintest hint of guilt or anything else on your faces. You rushed past him, gasping for breath.

Just what had that been? You never would’ve thought you would want the situation to continue, but as you looked at Nyx, his cheeks were veiled in a hint of red too. What had he been about to do?

You sat down. Corvin, Selena and Libertus were squinting their eyes at you.

“It was hot in the closet, okay?” you heard someone else say in your voice. Nyx was silent.

You reached out for the bowl in the middle of the table, but your hand only found air.

“I’m gonna go grab some more snacks from the kitchen,” you said and fanned your hot cheeks. Blood was still roaring in your veins, demanding the abruptly broken moment in the closet to continue.

Nyx shot up from his chair faster than anyone could even nod. “We’ve got some new stuff, I’ll come show you.”

“Uh, no it’s really okay–” you tried, but he had already marched past you towards the kitchen door. Libertus and Corvin exchanged glances while Selena shot a confused look at you, which you decisively ignored. The evening hadn’t gone at all the way you had planned.

Nyx held the kitchen door open for you and once again it was like stepping into another realm. The kitchen was quiet and you became immensely aware of his presence right behind you. The same shaky feelings that had coursed through you in the cleaning closet, returned twofold.

You took in a deep breath, but your mind was already in overdrive.

“Hey, uhh…” Nyx said, making you turn towards him. He was closer than you would’ve thought, but the kitchen was small and you refused to back away from him. Your heartbeat went wild.

“Hm?” Your hand hit the counter behind you and leaned on it, grateful for the support since your legs felt like they would give out any second.

Nyx’s eyes darted across the wall behind you and he chuckled to himself. The smirk on his lips made you bite yours in anxiousness.

“Wanna grab a coffee or something later? Like, tomorrow?”

You were so relieved that you almost laughed. He just wanted to hang out. Nothing romantic, nothing more than friends. The stinging sensation almost hurt inside your chest.

“Sure,” you replied with a beam, “Did you ask Selena yet?”

Nyx’s expression muddled and he was opening and closing his mouth, trying to find the right words. He took a step forward and you furrowed your brows in reaction. Your rear hit the kitchen counter.

Nyx hadn’t been prepared to explain himself, but there was only one way to get the message out loud and clear. “No, I wanted to go alone… with you,” he explained in a hush tone.

During the seconds it took your brains to process the content of his request, your thoughts had never been rearranged so many times so quickly.

“You… can. I mean– I want to! Uhh.”

He looked amused. “Are you okay?”

“Yes. I’m just… mildly shaking and excited,” you huffed and tried to laugh, but your throat was dry, “I should tell you something.”

With the way your heart was thrashing around inside your ribcage you thought you would fall unconscious at any moment. It had been a long way into this moment, but you were as ready as you would ever be to take the dive into the unknown – a time past your confession. He had taken the first step. You had nothing to lose anymore.

“Okay. What is it?” Nyx urged you to continue speaking.

You drew in a shaky breath, not entirely able to stop yourself from chuckling nervously.

“I… like you.”

There. You had said it. What should have been a wave of relief, felt only numb as you waited anxiously.

Nyx’s brows shot up, but he smiled. “I guess I should come clean about something too.”

“Which is?” You held your breath.

He leaned closer to you and cupped your cheek extremely gently. His thumb brushed over your cheekbone. The smile on his lips just melted you.

“I really like you too. I’m sorry it took me so long to realize.”

Your hands grasped the fabric of Nyx’s shirt as your noses brushed together. Your eyes closed, your mind went void of any thought. The only thing left was the bursting feeling of tenderness in your heart. You had never before really, really wanted to kiss him, but he there was now.

“Is this really happening…” you murmured right before Nyx robbed your ability to speak. He was warm. You were still shaking.

The door whumped open.

You both froze for the shortest beat before jumping away from each other. Selena was staring at you with her jaw on the floor. The kitchen door was swinging freely behind her. You could her Libertus’s booming laughter from the other side. The reality of the bar was bleeding into yours.

“Uh, what’s up, sis,” Nyx said in a voice that, thanks to some miracle, sounded normal and not at all like his little sister had just caught her brother kissing her best friend.

You couldn’t say anything, not offer a word of explanation. You just stared at Selena in horror with blood frozen.

She reacted with a second’s delay.

“Wha–? INFERNIAN’S HORNS. MY EYES,” Selena screamed, turned swiftly on her heels and left the door swinging wildly after her. It creaked slightly on its hinges.

After staring after her for a silent moment, you and Nyx turned to look at each other, confused horror beginning to crack into grins.

“Saved us the trouble,” you noted nonchalantly, which was completely opposite of how you felt.

“Yeah. She’s gonna flay us later.”

You stayed silent, examining the look in Nyx’s storm blue eyes. You didn’t know had you ever seen them so close up before, but they were breathtaking. However, what really had rendered you speechless was the look in them, full of ardor and hope, warm and excited.

“Does it bother you?” Nyx asked quietly.

You shook your head gently and moved your hand to cup his cheek. He had neglected shaving again.

“Mm no. But we better make this worth it then,” you purred and pulled him down from the chin.

“You and Nyx? Really? Really?” Selena cried, “Out of all people…”

You offered her an apologetic grin. It was the first moment without any of the guys within an earshot. You were surprised Selena had been able to keep it inside her for so long. It had been almost three hours since you had kissed Nyx for the first time. Your lips were still tingling and the warmth on your cheeks would probably never cool down.

Libertus and Corvin had instantly known something was up even though Selena hadn’t piped a word. The fact that you were suddenly gazing longingly at Nyx after years of trying to play it cool was not easily missed by your closest friends.

“Eww. Just… eww.” Selena shuddered excessively.

“If that’s all you have to say, I guess we’re good?” you said carefully, still peeking at her.

She shook her head in disbelief. “After all these years… I can’t even– no.” She sounded disappointed, accusing even.

Your stomach sank along with the corners of your mouth. “No?”

Selena quickly glanced up with widened eyes. “It’s just… unbelievable. That’s all. I can’t believe you never told me! Some friend you are.”

Your sigh of relief filled the silence that followed Selena’s words.

“Actually, no. It’s definitely believable. I should’ve known,” she continued in a lighter tone.

You grinned at her. “I’m sorry. Truly.”

Selena grinned back at you. “Yeah, yeah. Just know that I’m happy for you guys.”

Nyx Ulric x Reader: Scars

@nyxulricweek Day 5: Self-worth | Scars Word count: 380 Warnings: SFW, angst

Soft fingers trace his skin, feeling out every shift and break on it. The touch ripples shivers in its wake, but it’s not unpleasant. He murmurs something in his sleep and returns to the peaceful slumber.

It’s in the vulnerable moments like this when you remember how much you have come to value life after meeting him. He is more away than by your side. Each time he returns to your arms there is a new scar, a new dent or mound on his body.

He says it’s a small price to pay. You hate to hear it.

The newest installment, still red from being mended with magic, is just above his Adonis belt. It’s a straight line, sharp and merciless in its form. You woe to think how deep the wound was.

Nyx turns to his side, covering the mark from your frown, but your eyes continue to drift.

You’ve grown used to seeing the magical scarring on his chest grow. It’s a like a lifeless tree without leaves, but the branches spread each time he over-extends his power of will. There was a time when it barely reached his heart. It seems like an eternity ago.

He likes to joke about being lucky – magic has never marked his face, not yet at least.

You glance at the tattoo on his cheekbone and hold back the urge to touch it. It’s best to let him rest now that he has the chance. All you can do is wish to have time before the next deployment, the next dangerous mission or a surprise attack against the city.

That hope is shallow. You’re hoping against all odds. You know it’s inevitable to watch him leave again with no guaranteed promise to come back. He will say it, he always does, but you both know that in the end it’s not his promise to make.

You push the somber thoughts from your mind. Optimism is your only anchor. The scars on Nyx’s skin are your calendar, each one a mark of triumph and an odd overcome.

You press a light kiss on his jaw. He smiles in his sleep. That is enough to pacify your restlessness and you drift off to sleep, side by side with the person you love so dearly.

Okay, number 3 and Nyx x reader? Please? Pretty please? *puppy eyes*

Nyx Ulric x Reader:3.“Stay with me.”

It’s late.You should be going to bed, but your mind is running in half circles, stumblingon the way and then sprinting forward again. There is no way you’re going tofall asleep in your current state. A movie you have seen five times before is onand you stare at it with a blank face.

Nyx stirsnext you, waking up from the captivating hold of the moving image. He glancesat you, about to say something, but it takes several moments until he does so.

“I should probablygo.” He gets up.

You tearyour eyes off the scene playing in the television and look at Nyx.

“Stay withme,” you blurt out before you can stop the words.

You stareat each other for the fraction of a second, then avert your gazes and startbabbling at the same time.

“I mean, if you want–”

“Uh, sure, Ihave nothing–”

You bothshut up abruptly. You bite your lip and glance at Nyx again. A smirk is slowlymaking its way on his lips.

“Sure, I’llstay,” he says. He sits back down, closer to you than before. What is a movienight without friends?

You stareat the commercials in silence.

“…Thanks,”you murmur.

Nyx intertwines his fingers through yours.

15, 20 or 46 with Nyx

I chose the least angsty one. I hope you like it ❤️

Nyx Ulric x Reader: 46. “What if I told you I’ve been in love with you since we were kids.”

Galahdian weddings were… exhausting. At least in your newly formed opinion.

Since you had no living family, Nyx had carefully suggested holding the ceremony in his homeland. You had agreed to it in a heartbeat, not knowing at all what toexpect.

You had never had so much fun in your lifetime than during those three days the celebration stook. You already loved your new family and friends dearly, and would be devastated to leave them and return to Insomnia with your new husband.

Everything had been perfect, beautiful, stunning… when asked you could’ve come up with an endless list of adjectives to describe the bottomless love you had for Nyx’s homeland, its people and culture.

Too soon it was your last evening in Galahd. Bright stars littered the velvety black sky, trees rocked gently in the salty winds from the sea. It was hot and humid, but wearing light cotton clothes helped, if only a little.

“What if Itold you I’ve been in love with you since we were kids,” Nyx hummed suddenly as you walked on the beach, bare feet sinking into the white sand.

“We weren’t that young when we met,” you laughed.

“Feels like it though.”

“Hey!” You smacked his bicep not so gently and he grinned in return.

Before you could utter another word, Nyx caught you from the waist and started resolutely jogging towards the sea.

“Nyx! No, no, Nyx, NO–!”

You screamed and laughed when the waves shattered against your body. Within seconds you were completely soaked. Nyx let you down and for a heated moment that ended in a kiss you splashed each other, blissfully oblivious to anything else than your happiness.

Scenario: Christmas Cookies

Christmas is at the door and it’s time to bake with your dear boyfriend!

Noctis

The moment you suggest making some cookies with Noctis, he gets really excited about it. But his motivations are sinister. He will more or less skillfully try to pry what you got him as a present in the middle of the baking. You know – maybe he could make you slip something, just a teeny tiny hint. He really, really wants to know to the point of pouting when you refuse to tell.

After it becomes clear there is no way to make you accidentally talk about the presents, Noctis focuses more on eating the dough than actually helping you. Half of the time baking goes to slapping the prince’s greedy fingers from touching the oven-ready cookies. If you want to make Noctis help, you gotta take the Ignis-attitude and give him stern, precise orders and ban the dough eating in this kitchen.

What comes to the decorating, Noctis prefers to spill a massive amount of the frosting onto a cookie just before he pops it into his mouth.

Prompto

When December hits, Prompto will be all about baking some cookies. He holds it as a dear tradition and always takes an ample amount of photos of you and the whole process, so you better make sure you look presentable in the kitchen. He will call out for you to pose and you have to snatch that camera off his hands if you want any other photos than selfies of your personal sunshine.

Baking with Prompto is first and foremost fun; jokes flying, singing to the Christmas carols and flour everywhere. It doesn’t matter what the outcome is. Honestly, one year you both forgot about the cookies in the oven. What followed was a night spent at Noct’s couch, away from the burnt smell that took over the whole apartment.

Oh well, what matters the most, is that you get to make memories together.

Ignis

Ignis does the whole cookie-baking thing from bottom to top by himself, so the process takes several evenings, but the results are amazing. He makes the best cookie dough you’ve ever had the pleasure to present to your taste buds. Each year he knows to make a little extra so you can take sneaky bites while baking, thinking he doesn’t notice. But yup, he does. You’re allowed to try to distract Ignis in the kitchen, but beware not to mess with the precious ingredients.

Instead of varying the cookie dough, Ignis tries each year new different recipehs toppings, like blue cheese and marinated figs. The combinations most often sound very… peculiar, but you’ve come to trust his instincts. When the cookies are ready, you sit down to relax and try them out. However, you still can’t get Ignis to give up Ebony as he prefers to enjoy his cookies with it rather than any seasonal beverage.

Gladio

Gladio puts so much effort into making the cookies it’s really endearing. The reason behind it is that he wants to give them later to Iris to decorate and distribute forward. No one can say no to the Christmas cookies the Amicitia siblings offer. Not even if they want to.

Gladio really values the time you both put aside to hang out and bake together since it’s not something you would normally do. The cookies he bakes might not be the prettiest ones, but watching him roll the dough really carefully and plant the molds on it just makes your heart burst with warmth. He is almost meticulous about it and seeing a big guy like him putting so much effort and love into it always makes you remember why you fell for him in the first place.

Nyx

Nyx might not be the most into it, but he will gladly come hang out with you and maybe even help out with the cookie baking. Though mostly he will just try to steal the raw ones and slap your butt with a cocky smirk on his lips. If you’re feeling like chasing him with the rolling pin in your hand, just do it. While you bake, Nyx will chat with you, pass ingredients for you and most importantly, strut around and smile in a way that makes you forget all promises about being good before the Christmas.

While he has the courtesy to let you to have peace while baking, his patience won’t extend into watching you decorate the cookies. Even less into helping you with the decorating. No, right after you take the ready cookies out from the oven, he will whisk you away to do something completely else.

Ravus

Don’t give up when Ravus declines your first ten requests to bake Christmas cookies. Gradually his responses will get less hostile, so he is definitely open to being coaxed into it. After the hard part is over, he gets surprisingly into when you start the actual baking. Of course, he would never show it. He has a reputation to uphold after all.

Ravus will secretly enjoy spending the time with you, goofing around and test-tasting the dough. He will complain less and less the more dough you feed him, so make sure you have prepared plenty! While you take the lead on the baking part, he will inevitably supersede you when you start decorating the cookies. Who would have known Ravus Nox Fleuret would be so talented and finicky about cookie decorating? He will place each piece of sprinkles by hand and each cookie will end up looking like a masterpiece, too fancy to be eaten.

This guy never stops surprising you.

2,3 and 5 from the self ship questions for both fandoms please 😊

2. What’s the scariest moment you have had together? 

Ashley was kidnapped by Maxwell Roth a little while after we had our first fight as a couple. She stormed out without proper weapons, only her hidden blade. When I found her, her sister was there to witness all that transpired: Ashley showed signs of torture, chained by her wrists to the wall with barely any clothes on her, covered in dirt and grime. I thought she was dead when I broke her chains, but when I saw her whisper my name, I knew I had time! I carried her out, trying my hardest not to hurt her more, and left that accursed place. I later killed Roth, seeing her in so much pain was one of the reasons why I killed him. 

3.Do you want to get married? Have kids? What about your f/o(s)?

Ashley: Yea, I would love to be married to Jacob! We actually do; after assassinating Crawford Starrick and after we were all knighted by Queen Victoria, Jacob proposed to me on the spot (after we had a visit from a certain hologram). A few months after that, I found out I was pregnant with Emmett, so we had decided to wait until after he was born to be married, him being born of wedlock. When Emmett was a 2-3 years old, I once again fell pregnant, but it ended up being quite the surprise! We had conceived twin daughters, Ebba and Luella Frye. 

5.What’s your favorite physical attribute of your f/o(s)? What’s their favorite when it comes you? 

Ashley: I love Jacob’s facial hair and his strength. Both can be used it the most, well, naughtiest of ways.

Jacob: I love Ashley’s accent. Its different from what you hear in London, not to mention the way she moves her body when fighting can sometimes leave me in wonder.

2. What’s the scariest moment you have had together? 

Ashley: When I was told that Nyx might have died in the fall of Insomnia. I went through a few months of depression; I couldn’t get over it until I was consoled by my friends and family. I had started to move on, going on hunts that took my mind of things. I even designed some tattoos and sold them to a nearby tattoo parlor for some extra gil. After his highness and his entourage came to spend the evening in Hammerhead, the next day, I saw him. He was alive, but missing an arm. I ran to him, crying my eyes out. All those months of depression came flooding back, but somehow I felt relieved that he was alive. I ended up punching him in the face :|

3. Do you want to get married? Have kids? What about your f/o(s)?

Nyx: Yeah, I wouldn’t mind getting married and start a family, but since there is so much chaos in Eos, we decided to wait and see what might happen. During the 10 years of darkness, waiting for the King to return, we did get married. A few years later, we did have a child. He was around 5 when he met Noctis. 

5. What’s your favorite physical attribute of your f/o(s)? What’s their favorite when it comes you? 

Ashley: I love Nyx’s strength when he fights, not wanting to leave anyone behind. Also, being handsome doesn’t hurt when he gets what he wants.

Nyx: I love her tattoos. Every one she has, she created the design for every one. Having a girl that is beautiful and talented, that’s a plus on what she’s capable of.
