Hq boys and the little things they do in their relationship pt.2

Warnings: None

Characters: Sugawara Koshi, Tsukishima Kei, Kozume Kenma, Bokuto Koutaro.

Pt.1 Pt.2

Sugawara would remember small details about you. And when I say small, I mean even the tiniest ones! This man doesn't forget anything when it comes to you. He knows your go-to-coffee order. How much spice you want in your food. He remembers every achievement you told him about.That one time you won a debate in 8th grade? Or the one time you won a race? He remembers everything. One day you were wearing your shoes and he goes, "You're not gonna put the left one first?", seeing you confused he clarifies, "You always put on your left shoe first." He holds your hands whenever he sees you playing with your ring or fidgeting your fingers because he knows you're anxious.

Tsukishima makes playlists for you. It's probably something dumb named like "Eww love songs" but will have the most soft comforting love songs. He will share the playlist with you but will never admit that those songs remind him of you because that's so lame right? Also shares his headphones with you and only you because he doesn't like sharing. Look I also kind of think he listens to Taylor Swift but will rather die than admit it but when you play a song by her you can see him lip sync the lyrics. When you send him a playlist of the songs that reminds you of him, he teases you but does he play that playlist on repeat? Yes, especially if he misses you. Kei would also make a playlist where you can add your favourite songs along with his.

Kenma is weirdly attentive towards you. 'Weirdly' because he will play a game and it might seem like his whole focus is on the game but he hears everything you say. You would be ranting about your day while he's on his console saying, "Why did you stop? Tell me what that friend of yours said next." He would get off the console after a few minutes of course but you're surprised that he actually attentive and remembers what you told him. "How do you do that?", you finally asked him one day. " Do what?", his eyes were fixed on the screen. "Play the game and yet hear everything I say?", he just shrugs and says,   "Kuro should get credit for that. When we were young, he talked about volleyball and I just played my game but I had to pay attention to him or he would get annoying."

Bokuto lets you put makeup on his face. First he didn't agree to the idea, but you somehow convinced him and now he asks you sometimes to do it. You put fake eyelashes on him and he was shocked at how good he looks with those. He also likes when you paint his nails. He always picks black nails but sometimes he goes for colourful ones. He would even let you style him for a date. His own fashion sense is….. well not good. So you're his personal stylist and he doesn't mind if you put a little makeup on when he goes out because it makes his face look better. He would even show off his nails to his friends (especially Aakashi and Kuroo) and tell them how much you love him. He would be so proud that he was dressed by his s/o. Most of his fans online loved and appreciated this while others criticised him as it was not manly but he didn't care.

A/n: Hope you guys liked it<3 Take caree <<3

When someone else calls their s/o with their last name for the first time

(bc boys version) Haikyuu boys version here

So I decided to do a little quick piece amidst the 1700 event requests, because I miss black clover contents and I personally loved this fic and idea hehe. Here's one for all of you, something sweet and fuzzy.

Yami | Nozel | Fuegoleon | Zenon x F! Reader TW: unchecked You may of may not want to read this before reading yami's fic

Yami Sukehiro

You had to drag you husband’s ass out to the apartment viewing. You knew that low key, he found it hard to leave the bulls HQ. Afterall it was a place he found, built and had for a very long time.

But now that you’re married, it was only right for you two to have some alone and peaceful time without the walls breaking or anything catching fire at home.

Yami compromised to move and you compromised to find a place where the base can be nearby too.

“So, Mr Yami, your wife came the other day and she loved this place, how do you like it?”

“Yeah, whatever she likes.” Yami shrugged, he was okay with whatever, so long as you’re living with him.

“You have a lovely hubby, Mrs Yami. Aren’t you a lucky lady~” the agent smiled at you before her phone rang.

“Oh I have to get this, please excuse me for awhile, feel free to look around!” And she stepped out of the apartment

“So, Mrs Yami,” you were wrapped by his huge frame from the back, “is this our new love nest?”

You blushed and swatted him playfully, “if you like it!”

“I like it so long as the neighbours are okay with loud noises,” he smirked.

Nozel Silva

You were really busy with the wedding preparations , so you sent your fiancé to collect your customised gifts for your bridesmaids.

He stepped into the store and handed the receipt to the shopkeeper.

“Oh Mrs Silva’s gifts~” the lady said as she scurried to the back of the store.

Nozel stood there, stunned by what she said.

“Here you go,” she handed him the gifts awhile later, “you are Mr Silva?”

Nozel blinked, coming back to his senses, “yes.”

“Ah, Mrs Silva speaks a lot of you, I can tell she loves you very much.”

A blush crept up Nozel’s cheeks and painted it a tint of pink.

When he came home, he handed you the gifts.

“Thank you honey,” you smiled as you inspected the meticulous work.

“You’re welcome, Mrs Silva” he whispered in your ears before pressing a peck on your cheek.

Fuegoleon Vermillion

“Is Mrs Vermillion in?” A florist came into the crimson lion HQ one day.

“Mereo!” Fue was walking out from the pantry, “someone’s looking for you”

Mereo came out from the pantry with a cup of coffee in hand, “what?”

“Mrs Vermillion, I was told to come here to meet you,”

Mereo stared at the man for a few seconds, “what did you call me?”

The poor man read out the name on the paper carefully, “Mrs Ver-Mil-Lion, did I get that right?”

“Oi, dumb brother,” Mereo marched into Fue’s office to drag him out.

“Say it louder to his face, you’re looking for who again?”

“Mrs Vermillion, sir.”

Fuegoleon’s face turned bright red as he heard it from someone else for the first time.

“M-my wife-”

“Oh the florist is here!” You suddenly came in through the doors.

“Ah, Mrs Vermillion, I’ve been looking for you,” he bowed.

Fue stood there smiling with pride, he had to purse his lips a little so his smile wouldn’t get too wide as he listened in on the conversation with you and the florist on how to decor the place for the upcoming Crimson Lion anniversary.

You thanked the florist as he left.

“Mrs Vermillion sounds good on you, honey” he couldn’t contain his wide smiles.

“Oh honey,” you rolled your eyes cheekily at him, “please, your lips are about to reach your ears!”

Zenon Zogratis

He was kinda mad at you for going on a mission without telling him, so he didn't say a single word on the way to the restaurant as you celebrated your monthly date night.

"Do you have a reservation monsieur?" a waiter greeted you both.

"y/n." Zenon gave the waiter your name, since you booked the restaurant for tonight.

"let me see..." he scanned through the list of names, "ahh, Mrs Zogratis, si?"

"yep." you nodded shyly.

"And you must be Mr Zogratis, sir." the waiter beamed at the both of you, "lovely couple we have tonight, welcome in~"

He led you both to a quiet corner where you could oversee the spade kingdom. "Let me know when you're ready to order, Mr and Mrs Zogratis."

"are you still mad, Zen? You weren't back yet and it was a fast mission, so it slipped my mind to leave a note for you," you jutted your lip, pouting at your man.

"how could I stay mad, Mrs Zogratis?" his head rested on one hand, as he looked at you with soft ocean blue eyes.

You smiled shyly, it seemed surreal that now, you were married to this man.

"hmm, I should use this trump card more often~" you joked.

Zenon chuckled as he shook his head, what will he ever do with you.

[xbellaxcarolinax]

If you’re taking requests….I’m sick right now and I’d love to see a Drabble about Miguel taking care of his sick s/o. Especially bcuz he was a dad so you KNOW he’s fussy.. if it’s possible, thank you so much. If not, thank you for your time 🥰🥰

Hello there! Hope you're feeling better at the time of me writing this lmfao hope you enjoy <3

...

You couldn't get out of bed.

You were glued to your sheets, the light cotton drenched in sweat from the fever you'd been fighting since last night. You turned to your side, finding the space beside you empty. 

You sighed. Miguel probably had some last-minute work to do at HQ. He was a busy man after all. 

You sniffed, rolling onto Miguel's side of the bed. It was surprisingly warm still, the scent of his body wash trapped in the sheets. You pressed your nose into his pillow, inhaling deeply.

Well, if that's the closest you'll get to having him then so be it. 

You stayed that way for a few moments, eyes closed, head buried in Miguel's pillow, and body tangled in the thick comforter you shared with him.

You were drifting back to sleep again, the pillow dragging you back to the realm of dreams.

"Amor?" The bedroom door creaked open, and in came Miguel with a tray in hand. Your eyes fluttered but you didn't move, too tired to do much else but hum in response. You half expected him to be in his suit, your eyes ready for the bright blue and red fabric to assault your vision. Instead, he wore his casual clothes: a fitted black v-neck and gray sweatpants.

"I thought you left." You croaked, your eyes following Miguel as he placed the tray on the nightstand. You could smell the eggs and toast just inches away, the scent of citrus tea and ginger overwhelming your senses.

"You're sick," he stated, sitting at the edge of the bed, "I'm not going anywhere." 

"No HQ business?"

"Jess can run the show."

"No evil villains to track down?"

"I've already swept the city. Everything's fine."

"But—"

"Amor," Miguel interjected, gently brushing your messy hair away from your sweaty face with calloused fingers, "por favor. Let me take care of you." 

You huffed letting him carefully flip you on your back before dragging you up from under your arms, placing the back of his hand against your brow.

"Good. Fevers gone," he murmured, sweeping his knuckles over your cheekbone, "tea?" 

You nodded, your hands wrapping around your designated mug as soon as he handed it over. The ginger soothed your sore throat, the honey sweetening your tastebuds.

"Move up for me." You grumbled but did as he asked. Miguel moved to sit behind you, kicking off the comforter to nestle you between his warm legs. "Comfy?"

"Mhm."

"Good." His fingers immediately weaved into your hair, ignoring the knotty bits and lightly digging into your scalp in his version of a massage. He was good at them, skilled fingers pressing against the areas that needed the most attention. You moaned, letting your head fall back slightly as he worked his magic. 

"Are you hungry?"

"Not really." You shrugged, eyes heavy with the pleasure of his scalp massage. He stopped and you whined at the loss, feeling him shove the tray of food over your lap.

"Tienes que comer," he grunted, grabbing your comb from the nightstand drawer and dragging it gently through your knotted hair, "I'm gonna braid your hair, okay?" 

"Okay."

You nibbled on a piece of buttered toast as Miguel went to work, running the wide-tooth comb through your hair as best he could. He had a knack for it, his hands quickly weaving your strands in a plait as he did for his daughter once upon a time. 

Gabriella was gone and with her went most of his warmth. Or so he thought.

Miguel had you now. You were a stable presence in his life, and though you could never replace the loss of his daughter, he knew for certain that you were enough. He loved you a great deal though it was difficult for him to form the words in his mouth and just say it.

But you knew. You knew in the way he doted after you and in the way he held you. You knew in the way he made your coffee in the mornings and cooked your favorite meal when he had the time. You knew in the way he kissed you—and in the way he fucked you.

You knew in the way he took care of you when you were sick.

"Done." He said, tying the braid off with an elastic he had around his wrist.

You leaned back against his chest, placing a buttery kiss on his neck before whispering, "Thank you."

"For what?" You could hear the smile in Miguel's tone, in the way his fingers curled around your waist.

"For taking care of me," you said with a mouthful of toast, "you're always taking care of me."

Miguel grunted in response. He wasn't good at accepting praise, never could. So he held you close instead, hoping his warmth would suffice.

He kissed your hair, resting his chin over your head, and you smiled. It was enough.

...

Por favor- please

Tienes que comer- you need to eat

CV: Yoko Hikasa

A mysterious figure with an unusual name. Affiliated with the church lead by Seiji Komori, Noctis was sent to the Sakamaki Mansion under false pretenses as a "Sacrificial Bride" in order to ruin Cordelia's plan and gain the Sakamaki brothers as allies for the sake of the assassination of Karlheinz, as well as to stop future women to be sacrificed to vampires. Unable to bear the thought of dooming his adopted daughter Yui Komori, Seiji forged a plan to train and send a powerful demon whose memories he took, to doom the Vampires. If Noctis were to die as a result of the plan, he would feel no guilt, as she is not human. She believes she is human, as she spent her time living among them.

Personality

Noctis is a very calm and patient person, who could snap fast if someone acts unreasonable. She's very defiant to the vampires and doesn't tolerate their abusive behavior towards her, often engaging in physical fights with some of them. The mistreatment results in her getting dependent on alcohol and she is sometimes seen drunk during school hours in HDB. Despite appearing like an honor student at first glance, Noctis tends to engage in delinquent behavior. Despite of this, she is a responsible person that manages to complete her tasks decently, such as supervising Ayato and Laito to make sure they do not to cause trouble at school under Reiji's order. Noctis likes to throw sassy remarks at the vampires. She often gets in unnecessary trouble for running her mouth. She takes joy in teasing Ayato and Shin, who are quick to lose their temper, which she finds humorous. Noctis' has a resting face which makes her seem cold and serious, but it is easy to get a reaction out of her. She keeps her thoughts and feelings to herself and rarely shows compassion towards the vampires as to keep herself safe and not give them an opportunity to use her weak points against her. Rather than showing pity, she gives them advice from a rational perspective. She's very analytic and observant. Laito managed to break her cold barrier by constantly toying with her emotions for his own amusement, mainly enjoying the new expressions she makes by provoking her and putting her in situations that would cause her to show fear. His little games of psychological manipulation slowly resulted in Noctis showing more emotion and eventually warming up to the Vampires in More Blood.

Appearance

In most outfits, Noctis is seen wearing a heart choker on her neck and on her thigh to make biting more bothersome to the vampires. It serves as an extra protection measure.

She is always carrying a lighter with her.

Relationships

WIP

Trivia

With her drinking habits, Noctis developed spitting fire using alcohol and a lighter as a special skill.

Noctis hates cranberry juice as a result of drinking it too much to restore her iron levels.

When Reiji nags her too much, she jokingly starts calling him "Ossan" (おっさん) meaning "old man." Here, she refers to him or any other vampire as a grandpa due to how old they are.

Opposite to Yui, Noctis is a demon with a "human heart." Due to her memory loss, she was treated like a human by the church and learned their morals and values.

Noctis has a reflex that causes her to punch what causes her fear. For example, If someone were to jumpscare her, they would get punched by accident.

As a result of sharing a roof with 6 men, Noctis started to adapt manly speech mannerisms, such as using "ore" instead of "atashi" when referring to herself.

You're awaken in the early morning hours by sharp taps on your window.

Unable to ignore them anymore, you groan and roll onto your side. You had summer school in four hours. What could possibly be important enough to ruin your good sleep? You'd certainly have to give an earful to whoever it was that woke you.

Pulling up the shades of your window you see Quil and Embry outside.

Reluctantly you open your window. "What are you guys doing?"

"He's here."

"They're here."

They both seem to talk at the same time. There could be many connotations to who they could be referring to. A member of the Volturi was the first to pop in your head before you whisper out "Who?"

Embry holds onto you with his warm eyes. "Evita's friends."

Friends. As in plural.

You shut the window without another word so you could hastily get dressed and join them. Scrawling a note and leaving it on the kitchen table, you explain to your parents in case they wake up before you get back that you would still go to school regardless of what was going on.

The three of you weave through the trees deciding to go the back way. At this hour, it would be odd for someone to find three kids running through the streets. Your phone had died which explained why you hadn't known the news as soon as it happened. Quil and Embry though received a text from Sam that called for immediate action. Anyone whom the wolves aren't familiar with had to meet the pack. This served to familiarize the newcomer's scent for future reference and also to check them out and see if they are trustworthy enough to even pass through our land.

A familiar aroma of magic makes your brain feel tingling. They feel it too as you notice Quil actually stumbles a little bit from the heady sensation.

As you got closer, you bumped into both Leah and Seth on their way as well as Collin who was tiredly rubbing at his eyes. No one spoke. Too excited and in a hurry to reach what Seth had once called HQ. Which for your pack it basically was. All pack and most elder meetings took place there.

The two newcomers sat on either side of Evita inside of the living room. A boy and a girl. They both appeared weary from their travels but have a hand on Evita's lap. Dieufel, who you guess is the boy, is hastily wiping his eyes with his free hand; uncaring of who spotted his stray tears. "She was a warm spirit."

They must have been talking about Letizia. The wolves remain quiet until the guests are ready to introduce themselves. Dieufel was the darkest of the three witches sitting on the couch and already you could feel wisps of power wafting off of him. Just sitting there his presence was an enchanting enigma.

Dieufel had to be in his early twenties, exuding an aura of both mystery and vibrancy. His eyes the color of deep onyx holds a glimmer of ancient wisdom that you'd never seen on a face so young. Thick, dark lashes frame his dark eyes that add a touch of allure to his already striking features. Short, dreaded hair like tightly coiled springs are dyed a lighter shade of brown. His attire seems to blend seamlessly with his persona speaking of his connection to both the modern world and the ancient realms of magic. He has quite the elegant speech pattern that reminds you a little of how Edward spoke. He was proper when introducing himself. "Thank you for taking care of Evita during this time." He'd turned to Sam to say. "For your good will, we will join your cause although it sounds like quite the dangerous objective."

Skin as rich and warm as the finest mahogany, Dieufel inclines his head toward the other female on the opposite side of Evita. With this action you catch the sparkle of a gold earring hanging from one of his lobes. "This is my cousin Nadege."

Good looks must run in the family. Nadege smiles brightly at everyone and stands, almost towering over even Sam himself. Her cheekbones were high and fine, emphasizing her large olive green eyes. Her hair gave off a dark purple sheen, weaved into complicated braids that you admire as she moves to enthusiastically shake hands with the perplexed wolves. Nadege greets everyone with a warm, heavily accented 'hello'. "We've flown so far to meet you all! Once Evita called, we took to the sky immediately."

A few members were perplexed by her overall bubbly attitude but smile. It was always a joy to meet non-volatile supernatural beings.

Her features were expressive as she goes on to lament "Oh we were terribly broken to hear that brise took our Leti from this world. You know it killed another one of us just last year too."

As if used to hearing his cousin's ramblings, Dieufel gently puts a hand on her arm to draw her attention. "Kouzen, kalme ou. You'll scare them off." This earns him a rueful glare from Nadege who apparently didn't like being interrupted.

Sam chuckles. "It's alright. The pack is glad to have you here as well. I'm sure Evita has caught you both up on our situation."

Dieufel nods. "Yes she did. Can't say I've ever encountered anyone from the Volturi specifically."

"I didn't even know who they are." Nadege pipes in.

He rolls his pretty eyes but overall ignores her little comments. She reminds you of a chirping bird. Turning to Evita, he adds "I learned about the Volturi when staying with your family. The traveling witch who had stopped for a respite told us about them. So much power concentrated like that is bound to lead to disaster."

Evita nods. "Yes. I have finished one ward to prepare for their arrival."

"I can tell." replies Dieufel as he eyes her still exhausted face.There's color back in her face but the blue, bruise-like shadows are still stamped underneath her eyes. Overall, Evita's energy is lower as well which would tip off anyone who knew he well enough. "And how many more do you need?"

It wasn't necessary to reply. From the sour expression Evita scrunches her face into, Dieufel learns that the quantity was more than three. He hisses out a sigh at the workload ahead but isn't angry. Of course he'll do anything for his adopted spirit sister. Plus Evita was young and still didn't have much control over her magic. She could only summon a small amount of it at a time. Not like Leti who would have been able to create two wards in one day though it would definitely debilitate her for the following week.

Nadege speaks more in that fast language you don't understand, nudging her older cousin with her sharp elbow. Her long, full lashes flutter when she narrows her light colored eyes at Dieufel. "We can make up the rest. Or are you weak?" She teases with a goading smirk and hands on her hips. Lips, dark and glossy, curl in a devilish upward flick. A few of the wolves chuckle at her boldness. Even Sam's body jerks in a silent laugh at their familiarity. A connection that was similar to the pack. Blood was not what tied them, but genuine respect and affection. It reminds you of the relationship between the older wolves: Sam, Jared and Paul. They were brothers in all but genetics. You considered them your own older brothers, guiding and protective.

A giggle leaves Evita and she leans against Dieufel's shoulder comfortably. The first familiar touch she's had in a while. You're happy for her and notice her face soften and finally relax. She must have been on edge since her sister left home.

"Of course we will help." Dieufel says with a lazy smile. He pats Evita's head and makes the top curls bounce in reply. "But I don't know their specific powers, like your Edward's mind reading." The last part is addressed toward you.

"He's told me. I can easily have him write down the members he knows and their special abilities. The Volturi will have many of them on staff." You remember Edward telling you that they've spent hundreds of years collecting vampires with special powers. And damn did you want to hope that maybe, just maybe, you'll be able to keep the Volturi at bay. They could be strong enough to keep them out forever. That would be too perfect. Your life had proved anything but perfect the past several months. You didn't expect it to be.

That makes the others of your pack bristle. What other powers could be out there that they don't know about? Mind reading and seeing the future had been quite the shock to many. Too much maybe.

Brady and Collin exchange slightly anxious glances, knowing that this kind of talk was feeling a lot like a preparation for war. Wolves they were, but baby fat was still evident on their faces. In about a month it would be gone, chiseled away into manhood. Sam would make sure in that time that they would be ready for battle if it called upon them. They'd been kept away from Victoria's army, but they wouldn't be spared from fighting the Volturi. Barely entering high school in two months, your heart goes out to them. At least you had been granted time to enjoy the beginning of your high school years. There wasn't much to enjoy but you could claim that it had been your own.

Dieufel ponders for a second before nodding. "Alright. What is the deadline?"

Wolves anxiously peer at one another. The answer wasn't ideal.

It made Nadege's eyes round from what Sam told them. Which was "Anytime now."

Credulously, Dieufel shoots his dark gaze at Evita who shrugs and speaks Spanish. Dieufel exchanges his own words in her native tongue and you could hear the worry in his voice. Evita switches to English when she notices several pairs of eyes on her. "Besides, we might have another pair of helping hands soon enough." At that, Evita flicks her eyes over to you. Now the pack's attention centered on you. You'd grown used to it by now. Being the one to freaking imprint on a vampire will do that to you though.

You address the room, more so Sam to fill him in. "Evita says Bella has potential to wield magic."

Jared and Paul are comically confused. "Bella Swan?"

Ignoring the whispers spread through the room, Sam uses his authority as alpha to bring people back to attention. Dieufel and Nadege look thoroughly impressed. When the room is once more quiet, Sam asks Evita "Is it possible for her to learn?"

Dieufel stiffly nods. "Yes. . . it's possible but I do not recommend crash courses in magic. More than anything it is an artform which one should take the most care with. Your intentions may be good but if you are not properly trained, it can blow up in your face."

"Bella can do it." Insisting and also wanting to have Bella's back, you tell them what Jake told you. How smart she was and even got a spot in the high school's AP sciences and math. "She really wants to help."

You never expect Leah to agree with you. "The very least she can do is try it out." Better yet, Leah looked Sam straight in the eye with equal determination. "This is her fault after all."

Sam does a good job not to gawk at Leah addressing him as she hadn't so much as looked at him since the whole Emily drama.

He takes Leah's interest seriously although he is suspicious about her motives. Silently Sam consents with a nod. "You're right. The least any of us can do is try. (y/n), can you get into contact with Bella? Or would you rather-"

He knew it may be awkward for you to talk to Bella considering you were the reason why her and Edward broke up. "I don't mind. I'll call her after I get out of class."

That way everyone could have a rest before the real work began. **

Leah was the first one to leave. She didn't know what possessed her to be so vocal about Bella trying her hand at magic. Maybe it was because she wanted Dieufel to look at her and really see her.

A fluke, she'd put it to when she first saw Dieufel. Of course she would be attracted to him, he was gorgeous and his eyes would make any woman envious of his perfect lashes. The speeding of her heart was just one of intense attraction.

This wasn't-this couldn't be imprinting. Leah refused to even compare it to what she was feeling.

In order to not rise any suspicion, she'd managed to keep her features calm . She couldn't let anyone else know. Wasn't the reason why they kept Jacob's imprinting a secret to protect Evita and not cause added stress? Damn. Why him? Why now? Leah felt her steady descent into mental decay. She felt raving mad.

Feet stumbling to the forest line, Leah runs for it. Home. She needed to get home. That was a safe place. At least it used to before her father died. Now she fell into one waking nightmare after another. Blindly groping in the dark for something to anchor herself to so she wouldn't be swept up in the void. Everything was out of her control. What little control she had. When (y/n) imprinted on Edward, Leah half worried that she would imprint on a blood sucker too. Her and (y/n) were anomalies among the all male wolf pack. Even in the wolf's history there had been very few female warriors who inherited the gift of the moon.

She'd prayed to whoever would listen that she would never imprint and lose that freedom in picking her own partner. Her heart wasn't healed yet from Sam. Being in any kind of relationship was not of importance to Leah.

Leaning against the trunk of a tree to catch her breath, Leah felt absolutely fucked. Everyone would know the moment she transformed thanks to the stupid pack telepathy.

You slunk back into your bed. You had two more hours before you had to be up and ready for school. Only a few more days then you could attend to the business of protecting La Push and Forks. Bella managed to get good grades all while dealing with murderous vampires. What was her secret, you wonder to yourself. Many of the wolves hadn't been so lucky.

There was no point trying to sleep. Meeting Dieufel and Nadege wired you up. You'd wanted to stay but were reminded that they too were tired from their travels and would need all of their energy. Fair enough. Amped up like when you first met Evita, you suppose it's the magic of their being that energizes you so.

When the time came, you grabbed your backpack and let your dad drop you off at the rez' high school. You did your best to try and pay attention. Someone simply wouldn't let you though. Embry was just as excited as you were about the new arrivals and all the 'cool shit' they would do. Several times the both of you were hushed by the instructor forced into school as well. From years of goofing off in class, you and Embry were masters at passing notes subtly that neither of you were ever caught. He wrote of his doubts that Bella could actually do magic like them. She was the most helpless thing out there and to think that she had power all along was a little more than upsetting to him. But how could she have known though? You argue back. This back and forth helps to pass the time until you're both racing out the doors, grateful to be done for the day.

You wouldn't waste time stopping by your place to drop off your backpack. Embry followed your line of thinking and keeps pace with you. During your snack break that they allowed you, you'd texted Bella to meet you at Sam's. She'd replied that she'd be there. A quick text had been sent to Edward as well to keep him up to date on what was going on. He said he'd let Dieufel and Nadege settle in before bombarding them with his own family.

Neither you or Embry were expecting to find the tribe elders lined up at Sam's front door. You frown looking from one withered face to another. They looked upset. Sam was bravely facing off against them, keeping his voice level so you couldn't hear the words exchanged.

Paul pulls away from Sam's side to greet you. "Head in through the backdoor."

"What's going on with the elders?" Embry inquires while keeping his focus on the older men.

He grimaces and runs a hand through his short black hair. "They don't like the idea of three witches here. They're worried that the magic they're doing will attract more outsiders. More danger for everyone else."

Not allowing you to say anything else, Paul ushers both of you around the back of the house and through the screen of the back door. It led into the cozy but cramped kitchen where Quil was already there with Seth, Brady, Colin and Nadege. The boys were completely enamored with her, that was clear. And you wouldn't blame them. Like her cousin, Nadege was stunning and her personality added to her overall attractiveness. She was friendly and laughed without restraint at something Quil had said while placing an innocent hand on his forearm.

You notice Quil's ears turn a vibrant pink hue. Oh, he was smitten with the witch. He had a stupid grin on his face that was painfully obvious. The second hand embarrassment wasn't too bad since Nadege didn't seem to notice. When she saw you, her eyes crinkle and attention now directly at you. "(y/n)! I don't think I got to meet you before! Evita told me about you." Okay, maybe you were a little smitten with her too now. She was just so warm and pretty you couldn't help your brain going stupid in front of her.

Was this part of her magic? Maybe it was just her natural charm over people. Her reactions appear genuine though.

"It's nice to meet you too." You earnestly grin. She was such a warm person.

"I was just telling your pack brothers how Dieufel and I flew all the way over here. They weren't aware we were shapeshifters too!" She chuckles and you notice her prominent dimples.

"R-Really?" You'd never another animal shape shifter before. Surely Evita would have told you.

She nods. "While our family has always had magic in our blood, we also have another advantage. From as far back as our lineage goes, our ancestors have been able to turn into red-tailed hawks. Much like your own wolf warriors, our animal forms are larger than the actual species."

You were baffled. That was definitely something worth mentioning from Evita. A reminder that the world was so much larger than you could ever imagine.

Brady was beyond thrilled at the information and looked damn near giddy at the prospect of the great big world you were living in. They didn't see the potential danger that you and the older members saw. With such a large world, there were bound to be bigger creatures that could kill you. While you were definitely in recovery from your encounter with Xiomara, you weren't near cured enough to subdue the chill that seized the base of your spine and had you remembering those dark and evil eyes. They continued to haunt you, her claws were branded into your cheek. Three cruel lines that curve from the height of your cheekbone to the curve of your jaw. You remember your mother crying when she first saw them. The despair that she couldn't hide. She could have lived all her life without seeing the evidence of the reality you lived in.

If you were a better daughter. . .

No. You couldn't dwell on your own insecurities. You don’t have to keep going back to that place.

Going back to that vulnerable time with Xiomara did not serve you any purpose. You knew you had to move past that point in time although it was the one you held tightly in your memory.

A bit breathlessly you ask "Can we see?"

Nadege's smile widens; her limbs elongate and bones shift, her clothes become large as her body morphs to accommodate her changing form. Feathers sprout from her skin, first small and downy, then they grew larger and more vibrant with each breath she exhaled. Her arms stretch into wings adorned with fiery red feathers that blend with cream and brown feathers. Traces of her human self fade. The ground seems to retreat beneath her, and she instively spread her newly-formed wings, ready to take flight. Exhilaration washes over her as she looks down to you and the other boys. Dish towels flutter against the breeze she kicks up with her massive wings. She'd easily transformed into a majestic red-tailed hawk, master of the skies and dancer of the wind.

You're surprised how elegant she was, avoiding bumping into the ceiling fan and anything else that could get caught in her wingspan. She'd been beautiful in her human form; utterly breathtaking in her animal form. She shows off a bit, aware of the universal beauty she possessed.

"Forgive my cousin." Dieufel's voice comes out with a bit of a laugh to it. "She has always been known to be quite the bit of the showoff."

Hawk-Nadege shrieks at him and dives for his face but Dieufel easily reaches out and grabs her by her thin bird legs. She continues to half-hearedl thrash against his grip. It wasn't tight enough to hurt her but forbade Nadege from escaping his grip. She was more so annoyed than angry.

The spell breaks over Quil and the other young wolves as they blink away the dream-like filter that had been lowered over their vision.

Nadege's beak attempts to peck at Dieufel's cheek but he's aware of her tricks and keeps her at a distance. You can't help but laugh at how expressive Nadege was in her hawk form. The others, broken from whatever charm she had over them, bust out laughing.

You still couldn't believe how easily Evita and her friends merged into the pack. Already it felt like you had known them for years. They introduced so much more of the world to our small pack. Paul, from standing near them didn't even seem to mind the different knowledge that they brought with them. He laughs along with everyone else as the large hawk squirms and fights against Dieufel's hold.

In this light moment there was hope for the future. Something you desperately held onto. Hope would be your anchor.

[count-alucard-tepes]

OP lads want to make a call, but the Transponder Snail is missing. They go searching and find they're child playing with it. Their response?

Kizaru ✨

He usually has his watch on his wrist but this time he couldn’t find it, “Honey, have you seen den den mushi watch? “, he’d ask but his S/O didn’t see it. He’d hear his kid talking to someone and would find them on a call with Akainu, telling the Fleet admiral a story about their toys and of course Akainu was very attentive even though Kizaru was a supposed to be at work an hour ago. He’d take a seat next to his kid and listen closely, “looks like you could baby sit the little one for me, Sakazuki”, he’d say as he’d give a kiss to his child, “…Borsalino…get to work before I fire you”, he’d growl.

Akainu🌋

He would head off to his home office to make a call only to find his den den mushi had been replaced with his kid’s toy ddm. He huffs and goes to find his child but finds them on a call with Sengoku, “daddy said you have a pet goat…can I play with it, plwease, ji-Chan?”, they’d ask as Akainu stood at the door, listening attentively. When his child was done with the call, he’d walk in and ruffle their hair, “want to see to goat and ji-Chan today? We’ll need to go get some carrots and rice crackers first…”, he’d say gently. The child would beam and nod excitedly.

Ryokugyu 🌱

He would wake up from his nap when he heard the phone ringing and would go check where it was before hearing his child talking, “daddy is taking a nap right now but you can talk to me…”, the child would say to Fujitora before they would have a full on conversation about their toys and what they did and that all their dad does is nap”. Ryokugyu would snatch the phone from the kid, “hey stop talking to my kid about me!”, he’d say before cutting the call. He’d be more careful with the ddm from now onwards.

Fujitora 🐅

He would need to call in the office to tell them that he’d be a little late as he needed to take his kid to school when he’d hear his child talking to someone, “who you talking to, little one?”, he’d ask, “To uncle Ryo, he said he can take me to school…”, the child would say happily as Fujitora would frown, “…really? Uncle Ryo who loves being away from HQ…will take you to school? You just want to meet the female teachers…isn’t that right?”, Fujitora would say with a huff, “I’m already on my way! You can’t stop me!”, Ryo would chuckle. Fujitora would take the ddm and sigh, “…this is going to be a disaster”.

Sir Crocodile 🐊

He’d be looking in his office for his ddm when he called out for Daz to bring his device. He’d walk around and then heard his child talking to someone, “you okay, squirt?”, he’d ask before noticing the child was on the device. “So I can really come visit you at your palace? Really, uncle Doffy?! It’s by the beach! I love swimming! My daddy likes the sand too!”, the child would say, “Yes, of course! You know I was supposed to be your parent too, right? Your dad and I are the best of friends ever and we were supposed to—”. Croc would snatch the phone, “How the fuck did you get my number!? Stop talking to my kid!”, he’d growl, “don’t deny me my rights to be a parent to our love child!”, Doffy replied. The ddm was crushed and destroyed that moment and Daz would need to get a new one. Crocodile’s child never stopped asking about uncle Doffy though.

Doflamingo Donquixote 🦩

He would usually keep his ddm in his coat but this time he couldn't find it so he walked around the palace, stopping by his kid's bedroom thinking they were taking a nap, "mhm daddy still wears his pink coat, sometimes I cuddle with him in it", the child would say as they cuddled in bed, talking to the snail, "oh? I used to have a black coat just like that...it caught on fire though...maybe you could cuddle in mine too", the person said, "really, uncle Cora?!". Doffy's eyes widened as he heard the voice and the name before he rushed over to grab the ddm in panic, his heart beating faster...when he woke up from a nap in a fright. He panted as he looked around the room and noticed his child was cuddled up to him fast asleep....clutching a little black feather.

Benn Beckman 🔫

He would be busy cooking in the kitchen with his S/O when he noticed his kid wasn't around them. He washed his hands and then went to look for them, "almost time for lunch, little one...where are you?", he'd call out, "dad, I'm on the phone with uncle Shanks...he said he's coming for lunch too", the child would say as Benn would lean against the door frame, "oh? Thought he was out of town...tell him we'll be waiting", he'd say before going back to the kitchen. He knew his child was close to Shanks and let them enjoy their conversation.

Katakuri Charlotte 🍡

He was trying to find his ddm to contact his siblings about the tea party they'd be having when he saw his child busy on the ddm, he thought it was a toy one at first and then he heard another voice, his foresight helped him understand who it was, "you're really one of my daddy's friends? How come I haven't met you yet, lulu?", the child ask as they ate some cakes, "...well...its a long story but one day I'll come back and see you and your dad! And we'll eat donuts together", Luffy said, "...oh you know my daddy loves donuts? He eats ones as big as me!", "I want those donuts too?!". Katakuri would sigh softly and take a seat next to his kid, listening to this hilarious conversation...he'd swear they were both toddlers.

Killer🔪

He always seemed to lose his ddm when ever he came back home from a long trip at sea. He’d be search through his things but couldn’t find it until he looked out the window and saw his kid outside with it, seemingly talking to someone. He’d open the window and shout out, “Hey, who are you talking to?”, he ask, “…he’s talking to his favorite uncle so shut the fuck up and leave us alone!”, Kidd would shout from the ddm as the child giggled, “Goddammit, you’re gonna teach them curse words! Be nicer!”, Killer would respond before closing the window and heading outside. He liked that Kidd had a good relationship with his kid.

Kaido🐉

He would hear his ddm ringing which would wake him up from his nap. His kid would be playing with their toys not too far from him when he heard them answer the call, he looked at them curiously, “hwello? My daddy is sleeping right now…but you can talk to me…hmm I think he was really tired so he wanted to sleep all day…poor daddy”, the child would say, “hmm…when daddy wakes up, I’ll tell him to call you back…I pwomise…”. The Yonko would look at his kid lazily before cuddling them close, “…who was that, little one?”, he’d ask, “hmm it was Big mom…she said she’s coming to visit you”. His eyes widened at this.

King👑

He had been out flying when he lost his personal ddm, when he got home he needed to make a call to the beast pirates to make sure everything was going smoothly at Onigashima. However, when he found the ddm, his child was busy talking to Queen, “your stupid daddy just got home?”, he’d ask as the child giggled, “Yes and now he looks a little mad that you said that…”, the child responded as they reached up for their father and cuddled into his chest before giving some kisses, “…hey, don’t you have some work to do instead of calling my kid…”, King grumbled, “…I can call my niece/nephew when ever I like, Mr grumpy pants…”. This conversation would just have the child laughing the entire time.

Queen👑

He would come back after a long night of performing at Onigashima when he noticed his child on the ddm, “…so how was your day, little one?”, King would ask, “it was okay but I missed my daddy…he was gone all day”, the child said with a pout, “hmm…I thought he would be at home by now…maybe next time I could beat him up and send him home sooner, would that work?”, he’d ask playfully, “yes, uncle King”, the child would giggle as Queen pouted, he knew King was actually dead serious.

Izou🔫🔫

He was enjoying a romantic moment with his S/O when he realized that their child wasn’t around them for way too long so he decided to go look for them. He heard them talking on the phone and heard another all too familiar voice, “have you been a good little one today?”, Whitebeard asked as he spoke to his grandchild over the ddm, “mhm, I’ve ate all my vegetables and cleaned up all my toys, Ji-Chan…when will you come visit me and have a tea party with me?”, they asked, “Hm…maybe your dad can bring you to my ship tomorrow and we can have a tea party…sound good?”, he’d ask as Izou smiled in response as he caught his kid’s attention and nodded, “Yes, daddy said yes”, they chimed.

Dragon D Monkey🐉🐒

He would be in his office when he heard a call, he’d go to answer the ddm but couldn’t find it in its usual place so he’d call out for while he was close enough to answer the call and of course it was his kid. “Hwello, my daddy said you should talk to me because he’s very busy right now”, the child said as they ran away with the ddm and hid behind the door, “oh? That’s okay, I like talking to you so much better…now tell me how was your day?”, Sabo would ask as Dragon stood close listening in on the conversation, “hmm it was okay but daddy is always so busy and doesn’t want to play with me, big brother!”, the child huffed, “oh now that’s really mean of him, I guess I’ll have to give him a talk when I get back”, Sabo said with a chuckle, “you can give that talk right now, Sabo-kun…I’m all ears”, Dragon would say with a smirk as he took a seat next to his kid and ruffled their hair.

"damn your s/o is taller than you? couldn't be me." - kiyoomi sakusa 2023

you were safe to him

although you gotta admit, the comments did eventually get to you eventually

[liyawritesss]

I don't know where this idea came from but I feel like so much could happen from this situation. (Could not for the life of me pick a fandom tho) But I just thought what if MHA or the HQ boys decided that they wanted to join the table at the family gatherings playing cards or dominos. Like they're used to watching their s/o from afar and know they wanna be part of the action. Your choice on the fandom because I can't decide. It's going to be interesting either way. 😂

ᴛʜᴇᴍ ᴡ/ ᴀɴ ꜱ/ᴏ ᴡʜᴏ ᴘʟᴀʏꜱ ᴄᴀʀᴅ ɢᴀᴍᴇꜱ

Pairing: Phoenix, Neon, Raze, Jett x Black!GN!Reader

Genre: Headcanons

Synopsis: What happens when your Valorant S/O wants in on the card game action?

Warnings: mild cursing

A/N: While I could not think of anything for HQ or MHA…Valorant came to mind and boy oh boy did the ideas start spilling!

Phoenix

Phoenix is always down for a challenge, no matter the shape or form. Except chess, as we see he kind of avoids Cypher’s chess games. So when it comes to his knowledge that you’re a self proclaimed expert in card games, he of course wants to see if its true.

Despite being beat in round after round, game after game, Phoenix insists that he’s close to beating you. He is a somewhat observant fellow, so with each game, you become more and more serious, keeping the Fire Radiant Agent on his toes.

He does get very close to beating you, but you manage to shut it down real quick. He’s now constantly following you around base asking for another round, to prove his King status. But beware, he could be watching you play with others to take note on your tactics…

Neon

Neon actually introduces you to a card game first, one she learned on the streets of the Philippines when she was younger. She’s a master at it, and takes pride in the fact that she beats you the first few rounds as she’s teaching you how to play.

However, when she notices that you are gradually getting better, it gets harder and harder to tease you as she tries to keep up. And then you beat her at her own game, and a pout makes its way on her lips, because how were you able to do that so fast?

You give her a kiss on the corner of her lips, remarking about how you’re just that good, but she’s not having any of it. She won’t follow you around base like Phoenix, but any opportunity she gets, she’s gonna ask you to teach her a card game you know, because it’s only fair and square that she beat you in one of your own games.

Raze

Raze is an expert card player herself, so when she meets someone who poses a challenge, she’s all for it. She may be a firecracker, but she’s also got an observant eye on her as well.

This makes your matches all the more intense. Raze, who is normally chill and laid back and ready to pounce, becomes quiet and analytical, choosing her moves carefully.

Most of your matches end in ties, because both of you are just that good, and acknowledge that both of you are really good card game players. Your matches gain so much popularity around base, even Brimstone comes to watch you two play amongst the other agents.

Jett

You’re actually playing a card game with Cypher, one that you grew up playing, and Jett is sitting in and watching. She’s mesmerized by how seamlessly you two play and eventually, once you and Cypher are done, asks you to teach her a couple of moves.

Jett’s a bit dumbfounded by how to play at first, muttering curses in Korean under her breath while she’s trying to get the hang of things. It’s cute, with her cheeks all puffed out and her eyebrows furrowed in concentration.

You give it to her, she has you in a corner a couple of times, but you still beat her, and while she sighs in frustration, you tell her that she just has to keep practicing. To which she takes that as a challenge, determined to take you down a peg.

If you enjoyed, please leave a like, comment, and reblog for others to see! And don’t be shy to send in a request!

Legends of the Meadow

Part 1: Characters

Part 2: Settings & Locations (You're Here)

Part 3: The Meadows Origins (Pre-Story)

Part 4: The Story

Part 5: Afterthoughts & Trivia

~~~

To be fair, trying to come up with a map for the AU was difficult since I wouldn't really consider map making a speciality of mine but nonetheless, I'm still proud with how it turned out. I think I was able to get this out there with my ideas.

I tried to fit much into a can within the canvas size. Just some important stuff that I need to say is that Hollow Heart is suppose to be far away than it is depicted and the Kingdom is actually high above in the skies. The white and black bridges at Newt Wetlands and the Tundra are actually docks w/ boats.

The map mainly takes aspects from Rayman 2's archipelago w/ elements of Rayman 3 & Origins/Legends sprinkled in, mainly 2 and 3 having more of a general focus.

Ashlen & Gnarr’s Home: Built upon the foundation of a broken warship left behind by the Steelrens, it proved to be a much better improvement from their old home after alot of adjustments here and there. It was mostly thanks to Luno and his family lending a helping hand.

It is a two-story home that includes two bedrooms, a living area, a kitchen, and basically every room that a home needs. The bedrooms are on the top floor; Ashlen's room is alot more vibrant while Gnarr's is more standard but he does has potted plants and a study corner. Ashlen literally has walls coated with posters, string lights, and a storage bed, which helps with sorting out items and valuables she collects.

Gnarr has a small outside garden at the frontyard, next to the stone slabs.

Goblin Grotto: The home of Bean and the Goblins. It is surrounded by a mossy groves that will slowly lead into the grotto section. The grotto has alot of tunnel systems and dens where the Goblins travel and rest respectfully. It has a bunch of flora from both the inside and outside with vines lying about.

Unlike most places in the Meadow, the Goblins don't have an official "leader", they work together in packs as they are often targeted by dark fairies and other hostile enemies.

The Kingdom of Embers: The home of Zorin and the Dracogriffs. They are a floating kingdom that is very bright and advanced, nearly futuristic in design. The castle remains in the center surrounded by houses and markets, with a river circling around a statue of the king with a Lum Shard hidden away within. This statue is heavily guarded for this reason and many events centered around the statue, mainly coronations.

The kingdom has a couple of floating islands that have to be flown across. The only way you can access the kingdom from the ground is through the hidden portal. This portal has narrow platforming, which is intentional.

Tundra of the Knaaren: This is the Desert of the Knaaren but it is a frozen wasteland of the sorts, and always freezing. The interior is literally made out of the combination of ice and stone. They have a boat tucked away by the edge of the area, which is coated in a sleet of ice.

Cave of Bad Dreams / No Hope Cavern: There's not much different between this version and the original, but it's mostly more nightmarish, vast, and nearly barren by the feel.

Hollow Heart: Also known as "Hoodlum HQ" or The Dark Island; As the name implies, it's where the Heart of the World is located. It is an extremely dangerous location as its crawling with armed hoodlums. It's incredibly dark and foggy with hoodlum settlements and heavy machinary scattered around. Most of the island is comprised of metallic parts, some reaped from the Metal Boneyards.

Grundtown: An underground town/city that has been closed off from the rest of the Meadow. It has a built-in light source that gives life to the town. Grundtown has a town meeting center where the mayor gives out announcements and it's noticably formed to give distance from the residents and the mayor.

They usually have specific members to act as guards/gatherers; only they know about the outside world and are strictly limited about giving out information to anyone else besides the mayor and other higher ups.

Silverline Haven: Between Ashlen's home and Newt Wetlands is Silverline Haven, where it doubles as a village and a trading center. Ashlen, Gnarr, and even Luno are frequent visitors; Ashlen would commonly make trades with items she had stolen and do other activities. Elise also makes occasional visits here whenever she is off-duty.

Silverline Haven started off small at the start until after the invasion, where they reconstructed and become more lively than ever and holds a peaceful atmosphere along with it.

Newt Wetlands: Luno and his family's home; they lived in many stilt houses to support the big family, all with connecting bridges from each house. Luno, however, resides in a shack among the edge. There is also a fishing docks among the wetlands with a boat included.

Metal Boneyard: Also known as the Junkyard and, much like Silverline Haven, was the result of the Steelren invasion aftermath. The area is littered with scrap metal and parts; before then, it took place in an average, spooky forest. This place is looked upon as just as dangerous as Hollow Heart, if not worse. This is because it is seen as a hotspot for many dark fairies AND hoodlum sightings.

- Winter morning soft cuddles with Dazai.

stuff i must mention:

fluff

genderless reader

s/o dazai

winter had hit yokohama around a week ago by now, its freezing pretty much everywhere you go. the trees like stitching around the town centre-all left with no leaves and the park covered in snow. the port mafia hq too, almost frozen in place. 

its around 10:30 am when you find yourself waking up to a surprisingly cold room. it hit you, you stayed in dazais room last night instead of signing off duty and returning to your own. 

youd think that dating while in the same mafia agency would cause a problem but life couldnt be better for you, everything in this moment was perfect. waking up in your boyfriends room to a comfy bed and sheets smelling of him. your eyes adjusted to your surroundings and came to your senses. the room was a little.. too.. cold...

“dazai?” you stretched your arm to dazais usual sleeping place, right next to you, and felt around, no sign of him. you struggled and yawned as you sat up and brushed your hair from your eyes. “dazaii ? dazai ?”

adjusting your shirt and underwear you slept in, you arose from your bed and yawned yet again. still getting your eyes adjusted as you were still waking up, you staggered over to the window to shut it. you approached the glossy-white framed windows and balcony doors and reached to shut one of the windows, but as you walked closer, you heard a familiar voice from below, dazai ? whats he doing down there?

you quickened your pace as you became more awake and ran to the other side of the room to grab a large sweater and some slippers. having a brisk look in your shared wardrobe, you saw your favorite of dazais sweaters, that one black one with the long fit and puffy sleeves. you put it on over your head then slipped into some bunny slippers.

back at the other side of the room, you unlocked the balcony doors and stepped out into the thick layer of snow on your balcony. the crunchy sound giving you a weirdly warm feeling. you walked closer to he edge to look over- to find out what your boyfriend was doing down there,, all the way at ground level. you could still hear his voice but couldnt quite spot him, well,, you WERE 20 floors up. 

“y/n !!!” you heard a shout from noone other thant dazai himself, “over here, my love !”

you looked to your right to see him talking with akutagawa about probably business or mafia stuff, you couldnt care less, you were just cold. 

dazai gave a quick smile up to you and wave, then continued speaking to akutagawa. “eh, okay. so what i was thinking was we could attack from all angles because-”

you had enough of being cold already ! so you went back inside and kicked your slippers off and kept the hoodie on but put your arms back inside to skillfully take off everything else underneath. you threw the shirt you slept in on the floor and adjusted the hoodie you had on. the soft material and the scent of dazai made you feel warm. you got back under your covers in nothing but underwear and a hoodie and wrapped yourself up again. you thought about dazai being there with you right now, warming you and cuddling you from behind. waking up without him always kinda crushed you inside, like he didnt even bother to tell you he was leaving and give you a sweet morning kiss on the lips and a tight loving hug as he leaves the bedroom to go out.

you started to drift off back to sleep even though you were so cold you felt like you were going to freeze right then and there. soon, you were fast asleep again, and the bedroom door flung open and dazai walked in and you were none the wiser. 

he shivvered, as he took off his coat and waistcoat, revealing only his white button down and pants. he felt warmed from the core when he saw you, scrunched up in his own white sheets, sleeping peacefully. he decided to hop in behind you and wrap his arms around your chest. you relaxed into his touch and bent your knees so he could be your big spoon in order to keep you warm. he sighed a long and heated breath, onto the back of your neck- slidig his hands up and down your folded legs to create some friction and therefore some heat. 

dazai loved you so much, and always wanted to protect you so he continued on with keeping you warm. he streched his chin out to put it on your shoulder so now, he was completely (or nearly) covering you fully, of course with the thick, white duvet too. you awoke slightly again from your interrupted sleep, but for a good reason. “dazai?” you croaked.

“baby im here, youre freezing” he cuddled you tighter.

“i-i know,” with chattering teeth you murmered, “lets cuddle”

“come here then, love” he moved back to the centre of the bed and gestured for you to accept his embrace, you turned to face him and willingly entered his open arms. you snuggled up to his warm frame and wrapped your arms around his waist, and he hugged you too. you buried your face in the crook of his neck and he placed his chin onto your head, his breathing pattern sending comforting tingles down your body. you wrapped your legs around him too- to keep as warm as possible and he couldnt help but let out a completely satisfied and happy sigh.

you cuddled and slept for about 3 and a half hours and by that time, it was time for your joint mission.

the alarm clock beeps.

beep. beep. beep. beep.

dazai yawned as he awoke, sounding completely and utterly yet simply- happy. you just made him so stupidly happy with everything you did. and he did the same for you.

Cassie, Kano, Skarlet, Mileena and Johnny Cage with a S/O who is a great cook?

Headcannons about:

How would they act when S/O cooked their favorite meal? (You can choose their favorite meal)

Do you think they would do well when S/O tries to teach them cooking?

How would they react when S/O made a big, fashinating birthday cake for them?

HCs for Cassie, Kano, Skarlet, Mileena, and Johnny. Coming right up! 🖤🖤🖤

Cassie Cage

Before meeting her S/O she used to eat at fast food restaurants like Mcdonald’s or luxurious restaurants in Los Angeles. She will eat anything to avoid her father’s Awful Food, or Sonya’s.

She didn’t care about fast food or restaurant food being unhealthy as long as it tastes better than her mother’s or father’s cooking, To her, it is better and less awful.

But after meeting her S/O’s, She stopped eating from restaurants or fast food as a whole. She is fascinated by her S/O cooking skills. Her S/O loves to make healthy homemade meals, It is just her S/O's healthy lifestyle. Cassie thought that her S/O is a vegan. But she was shocked when her S/O made a delicious beef burger with french fries and also with her delicious spicy, sweet sauce.

Cassie loves her S/O’s cooking, she loves the salads, and the burgers, her S/O once made Pizza, and Cassie was over the moon.

Cassie's favourite meal is Fettuccine alfredo chicken pasta, She used to eat it in luxurious restaurants in Los Angeles.

When she knows that you are making it for dinner, she was happy, finally, a good cook decided to make her favourite, comfort food.

When her S/O finished making the meal, she was so happy and excited to eat it, Her S/O had filled her plate with a delicious meal. Cassie’s mouth was watering, the food and the smell were good,

“Taste it! And tell me what you think about it!” Her S/O says with a big smile on their face.

Cassie took a fork to eat her food, from the first gulp of the food, her expression turned into pure happiness and her smile was big.

“This is very delicious! Thank you so much for making my favourite meal!” Cassie thanked her S/O

Cassie finished her first plate and then asked for another, Her S/O Happily re-fill her plate, Cassie chuckles in happiness and began to eat again

“Dear, please be careful, it’s very hot!” Her S/O warned

“Don’t worry!” Cassie replied while eating.

Every time you cook cassie’s favourite meal, she is over the moon and, in return, she will give you a big kiss on the cheek.

Cassie once Asked her S/O to teach her to cook, Her S/O didn’t mind it at all, so both of them started to wear an apron and began cooking both, Cassie and her S/O made Caesar salad and corn soup.

Both of them enjoyed the meal, Cassie is so proud of herself and her S/O cooking skills.

When Cassie’s birthday came, Her S/O surprised her with a huge birthday cake. Well decorated, Purple and Pink cake.

Cassie was so happy and the toppings were amazing too.

Cassie, Being the selfie queen she is, took a picture with herself near the cake with the hashtag #MyS/Omadethecake

All her friends and family saw it. They congratulated her on her birthday. And mention how the cake looks delicious and well-decorated.

Johnny and Sonya came as soon as they remembered Cassie’s birthday, they were surprised to see Cassie with her S/O, But happy too, Since there is someone who can make their daughter feel happy and loved.

Cassie told her parents about her S/O and how she is happy with her S/O. Her parents are also happy with this.

Kano

Before Kano met his S/O, Kano is also the same as cassie, he is a massive fast food eater, But he has no time to eat in a luxury restaurant because he will be spotted and known as the notorious Kano, leader of the black dragon.

So he goes to fast food near the Black Dragon HQ. Usually, he ordered burgers and fries, but as the Australian he is, he missed eating kangaroo sausages and shrimp on the barbie. Well, giving cassie’s intro “throw another shrimp in the barbie” made Kano annoyed.

After he met his cock S/O. He stopped eating from fast food restaurants, because why would he waste money and eat unhealthy foods when he has a good cock and his chef? It made him very happy and proud that his S/O surprised him once by making Kangaroos sausages and shrimp on the barbie.

After taking one bite, he was also over the moon. He kept giving his S/O good reviews and ratings, he even asked his S/O to make it more often.

Kano once asked his S/O if they can teach them, His S/O didn’t mind at all, Kano and his S/O both wore aprons.

They started to prepare the ingredients and everything.

Kano decided he will make Kangaroo sausage. Once he took the sausage out, Put them into a wooden cutting board, he said to his S/O to look at him. Once his S/O did.

Kano pulled a “size” pun on the sausages, as the dirty-minded he is, His S/O laughed for a bit then continue cooking.

Afterward, Kano made a mess in the kitchen His S/O was very angry but they give him a forced smile, But still, Kano’s S/O didn’t kick him out of the kitchen.

Once again, Kano made a huge mess while chopping the onions, and he cried because of it, making his eyes sensitive he accidentally fired a laser and made a hole near the stove.

His S/O calmly gave him a tissue and told him to clean his hands and then put some water in his good eye, not the electronic one.

Kano listened to it and left, His S/O was sighted tiredly then exploited this by making the meal alone, and the meal doesn’t take long.

His S/O put the sausages in the barbie with shrimp then sprinkled them with spices.

Everything went accordingly, His S/O finished the meal and still, Kano didn’t come back, Then his S/O prepared everything on a plate.

His S/O saw him setting in the tv room, they brought him the food and both enjoyed it

“This is very delicious LuV~” he muttered while eating,

“You’re welcome!” His S/O replied,

When Kano’s birthday came, His S/O made him a huge well-decorated cake, Kano loved it very much and thanked his S/O for being very thoughtful,

His S/O had cut the cake for him, He took the plate and eat it while admiring the taste.

Then both of them dance and sang at his birthday party.

Skarlet

Skarlet used to eat from Shao Kahn’s chefs' food, As any outworlder, they would find the chef’s food is very delicious and luxurious, But since Shao Kahn is gone, she feeds on the blood of her victims. It is very important for her now to sustain her life and powers.

But when she met her S/O, She started to reduce the amount of blood she used to feed on, she has her chef now.

Skarlet never had a favourite meal, because all the food she used to eat is just delicious and she can’t differentiate between them. But once her S/O made a meal called “Borscht” she loved it so much that she made it her favourite meal.

Skarlet often asks her S/O to make Borscht, Because she loves the taste and the colour of it.

Her S/O loves the meal too, So her S/O won’t lose anything if they make it for their dear skarlet.

One day, Skarlet asks if her S/O can teach her to cook, they didn’t mind at all, and both of them started to wear the aprons.

Her S/O gives her the easiest tasks like cutting the veggies, Skarlet is a fast learner, so she cuts the veggies in a precise manner.

Then both of them made the meal, looking at the pot as it boils the ingredients together.

After it finished, both of them ate and enjoyed the taste, Skarlet loves it so much, especially since she helps in making it.

When Skarlet’s birthday comes, her S/O makes her a huge red velvet cake, which Skarlet loves so much, especially since red colour is Skarlet’s favourite colour!

“Thank you this dearie~” Skarlet thanked her S/O in her known raspy voice.

“You are welcome!” Her S/O happily replied, and both of them ate the cake.

Mileena

Same as Skarlet’s Mileena used to eat from the food that Shao Kahn’s chef used to make, Now her father is gone, she ate everything that has flesh humans, Tarkatans, Edenians, and even Shokans! That was before she met her S/O who is a good cook, As much as Skarlet’s she never has a favourite meal. Until her S/O cooked meat pie!

Once Mileena ate it, she was over the moon and loves it so much, every time Mileena would request her S/O to make meat pies, Her S/O loves her so much and never deny her a request, so they make it for her.

“Ooh! My favourite meal!” Mileena muttered before she eats,

She eats faster and without any manner, but her S/O never mind at all, Her S/O know everything about her, So that is why they excuse her to eat in any manner she finds it comforting for her.

Once Mileena's birthday comes, her S/O makes her a meat pie and a fuchsia-colored cake, she loves it so much, especially since the cake colours match her outfit.

“For me? Thank you, dear!” Mileena innocently says, then she hugged her S/O

“Yes! For you dear~” her S/O replied while cutting the cake and giving her a plate of it.

Both of them started to eat, and after that, they danced and sing, enjoying the party!

Johnny Cage

Similar to his daughter, Johnny used to eat in either fast food or luxurious restaurants, He likes to try new dishes, and He loves them all because they are made by an experienced chef.

When he has a very long and tiring schedule, he ordered fast food either by delivery or simply goes to eat in a fast food restaurant, of course, seeing fans and admirers there in a known local fast food like McDonald’s or Burger king.

When he has an off day, he simply goes to eat in a very luxurious restaurant that has a very lovely and luxurious atmosphere. Matching him “Oh I am a celebrity” kind of thing-

That was before he meet his good cook S/O, He met his S/O in a grocery store, they were shopping to get groceries, Healthy, Fresh veggies, and such.

He loved the new person he met in the grocery store, they never eat fast food, and they never go to luxury restaurants, it’s not a money thing, it’s just that they have a healthy lifestyle.

Johnny at first wasn’t convinced that homemade meals aren’t better than luxurious restaurants and fast foods, His S/O told him that they will make his favourite meal, and that was a cheeseburger with french fries.

At first, he was dying to see the results and to see who will win this one, His S/O took that as a challenge, and They made his Favourite meal.

At the first bite, Johnny was speechless. The homemade meal is very delicious, fresh, and clean.

In all fairness, he admitted he was wrong and the meal is very delicious. Because of that Johnny was convinced that homemade meals are healthier and much tastier.

His S/O won against him, But never made fun of him or shamed him, If anything, They never did any of those, they kept making for him his favourite meal “cheeseburgers and fries” with new different healthy sauces.

Johhny once asked if his S/O can teach him cooking, and they never mind at all, both of them started to wear the aprons and prepare the ingredients, then cook together, they enjoyed it so much, and yes of course Johnny pulled a pun here and a pun there. To lighten the mood.

At Johnny cage's birthday party, His S/O surprised him with a huge Chocolate cake. That was well decorated and tasty.

Johnny was over the moon when he saw the cake and he was very happy, as similar to his daughter he took a selfie with him while holding the cake, #MyS/Omadethecake

After he took the selfie, his S/O cut the piece of the cake and gave it to him. And Johnny couldn’t be any happier. He has a lovely S/O that he loves very much.

The end, Hope you like it and enjoy reading! 😊😊😉

Re.Gray 027 - Suspicion

[ Masterlist ] [ Read on AO3 ] [ Raws ]

Summary: Bookman and Lavi introduce themselves, and tell us a bit about the Noah. Allen goes for an ill-advised walk.

C H A R A C T E R S

Allen Walker Lavi Komui Lee Lenalee Lee Bookman The Millennium Earl Arystar Krory Eliade

S T O R Y

It all began about a hundred years ago, with the discovery of a single Cube.

The substance it was made of, God-crystal (also known as "Innocence"), was imbued with a strange power. Inscribed upon it was an apocalyptic prophecy from an ancient civilization, as well as instructions for the handling of said substance.

7000 years ago, those who inscribed the Cube bore Innocence into battle against the Millennium Earl and his demonic cohort, and were eventually victorious. However, as written in the Biblical tale of Noah and the Flood, the world was then destroyed.

To prevent the recurrence of this apocalypse, nicknamed the "Three Days of Darkness", Exorcists — Accommodators chosen by the Innocence — join the battle against the Millennium Earl.

In the phenomenon-stricken Rewinding Town, Allen clashed with Road Kamelot, a girl who called herself a member of the "Noah clan". But she vanished, leaving many unanswered questions in her wake....

What orders will the Black Order give Allen and his compatriots next?

Lavi: Get up. Lavi: We've got incoming.

♦ 24

LAVI

As a Bookman successor, he cast off his real name at the beginning of his journey.

His true nationality is also unknown; he's the product of many mingling bloodlines.7

18 years old Height: 177cm, 5'9 ½ Weight: 68kg, 150lbs Birthday: August 10th Leo, blood type O

Lavi wasn't originally a D.Gray character, but the protagonist of an entirely different story called "BOOK-MAN". I'm very fond of him, and delighted that I finally get to introduce him here. The Bookmen, archivists of underhistory, and their successor, Lavi, may now become integral key figures in the story of D.Gray.

Someday (if this doesn't get cancelled) I'll show you why he wears that eyepatch, so stick around.

FOOTNOTES

奇怪 kikai "strange, mysterious, weird" is the same word used to describe Innocence phenomenon, though it's unlikely that Allen's Innocence has any hand in healing his cursed eye. If anything, it might be the opposite: something Dark-Matterish about Mana's curse. [ ♠ ]

我らは　ブックマーンと呼ばれる相の者 warera wa "Bookman" to yobareru saga no mono, "we are those with the nature/destiny to be called Bookmen"

There's something really difficult to translate here: that word saga refers to "nature" in the sense of "human nature", or "destiny" in the sense of "biological destiny".

"Bookman nature" obliges them on a fundamental level to fill a particular role in the world, and it's almost certainly something they're born with, something inherent to them. [ ♠ ]

Hahaha, he just comes right out and says it: he and Lavi chose to become Exorcists for Bookman reasons.

I've theorized before that Bookmen are able to jailbreak Innocence and Dark Matter at will so they can position themselves ideally as observers (and, relatedly, that Cross was able to jailbreak Chomesuke and prevent himself from Falling because he's the "lost successor").

This line makes it pretty clear that Innocence didn't really choose Bookman and Lavi as Accommodators; Bookman and Lavi co-opted it so they could be in the field as Exorcists. I assume they have backdoor hacks enabling them to be wherever they need or want to be because they're not exactly participants in the "simulation", but something more like dev or tester avatars, coming in from "outside the framework" to make error logs and bug reports. [ ♠ ]

無根 mukon "groundless, baseless, rootless". I think this actually means something like sourceless in this context: nobody can figure out where they came from, where they originated. They're just there, out of nowhere.

Also: 裏歴史 urarekishi describes a "hidden, unilluminated, unseen, behind the scenes" history, the history beneath or behind known history. I plan to translate it pretty consistently as either "behind the scenes" or "underhistory", depending on sentence structure and context. [ ♠ ]

This is almost exactly what Lero said to Road when it was scolding her about sharing Noah secrets with outsiders. Lero and Bookman insist on secrecy; Road and Lavi don't see the harm in spicing things up a bit. Parallels! [ ♠ ]

As I recall, the next and only person to call him that is Chomesuke, the aforementioned jailbroken Akuma. Which means the "some [people]" here refers to Cross, who hasn't been back to HQ since before Bookman and Lavi joined up. Early hint that Cross and the Bookmen are acquainted, and not through the Order. [ ♠ ]

様々な異種族の血を引く samazama na ishuzoku no chi wo hiku "descended from the blood of a variety of interracial matches"

Weird line that could either just mean he's a bit of a melting-pot, a mixed-race kid born to mixed-race parents, or mean that he's the product of a deliberate breeding program of some kind (which, yikes). [ ♠ ]

not sure if the character ask meme is still open but markus/black samson pls :3

Hi soryy for not seeing this i've been really busy with work but here we go!

B- Do they have any allergies?

Probably! I'd say he'd probably have something along the lines of a latex allergy (which would just SUCK if he needed first aid on a mission) or probably an allergy to pollen or something like that.

Ooh wait... hear me out: cinnamon. He doesn't like admitting it to anyone cause it's embarrassing for one of the most famous superheroes in the world to tell anyone his throat closes up from cinnamon of all things, and let's face it, Rex would definitely make fun of him for it (btw I got this idea because I watched that old Dwayne Johnson movie Game Plan last night and there's a scene with cinnamon in that)

L- What is their favourite board game?

My first instinct here was to say something like chess cause a) he's like 40 at the least, and b) he literally has a mansion in the comics (which makes me wonder why that hasn't been bought up in the show yet), but I kinda think he'd be more of a checkers man. I mean, a lot of his later appearances in the comics have him trying to help his community, so I imagine he might have learned from playing against the elders.

A- What are/were this character's best subject in school?

I kinda imagine he'd be good at a lot of subjects in school (he strikes me as an overachiever what can I say), but if I had to narrow it down to a couple of them, I'd say PE, English and Math.

C- Can they swim well?

I doubt in his probably 20-something years or less of being a superhero, that he wouldn't be able to. Unless he grew up somewhere without any local swimming pools or bodies of water, cause then I could imagine he doesn't learn until later. But yeah, he's probably a really good swimmer.

K- How do you know when you've upset them?

Oh, that's easy. He does that low mad voice thing that he does in the show when Rex makes fun of him (you know, 'I'm gonna assume that was a joke and I don't need to beat your ass until all you wanna do is call me dad again')

S- How stealthy are they?

I mean... canonically he's probably at least a little bit stealthy but come on. This man is a giant and has the same physique as Superman, he is the polar opposite of stealthy. 

A- Already answered!

M- What is their favourite dessert? 

For the purpose of continuing an inside joke with a mutual, I’d say baklava, specifically the pistachio kind. 

In all seriousness though, I imagine he’s not the biggest fan of desserts in general, but he might have a secret sweet tooth for... i’ll say blueberry muffins. I think it’d be fuuny if he kept sneaking blueberry muffins from the GDA cafeteria.

S- Already answered!

O- What would it take to break them, inside and out?

First of all, and I feel this would be the norm for a lot of superheroes, Samson has a great amount of willpower that would make him difficult to break mentally. While he isn’t the strongest hero out there physically, he’s definitely up there with the likes of the Immortal. If you were trying to break him, it would take a lot of time, and probably involve targeting just about everyone he loves, and even then, you’re more likely to make him mad than sad. My advice? Try one of the other Guardians.

N- What do they usually eat for breakfast?

Do you think they got good cereal in GDA headquarters? I feel like they spent all the budget on teleporters and sci-fi body armour and didnt have enough for some Lucky Charms. Cause if he’s in the HQ, then his options go down to corn flakes or porridge. But if he’s in his mansion, then he probably gets some fancy eggs cooked by Sandford every morning.

He is also the narrator in Illbleed and Michael Reynolds.
