#tmc Cesar x reader

[lem0nt1ddy]

Only in Mandela County 🤘

[c3s4rxd]

Well, I tried to request something from another person, but it didn't work out, now it's interesting to find out from you, it seems to me quite curious. I want to ask headcanons or something about relationship fem reader with Mark and Cesar. When been were childhood friends, so the reader and Mark started dating, but because of Mark's paranoid thoughts (which made the reader feel bad because of the inability to help) they broke up, then after a while the reader and Cesar started dating. I would like to see their relationship after all this, possible feelings that they are still experiencing, maybe a love triangle or friendship without obligations. Thank you for your time

Mark x Fem!Reader x Cesar - romantic headcannons!

Possible trigger warnings; mentions of paranoia, mentions of poor mental states, mentions of possible polyamorous relationships.

I Hope I did your request justice, dear anon!

-Host Cesar

How did this all begin?

You and Mark were friends since childhood and had always cared for each other.

You both met at some form of daycare Center and ever since became inseparable.

Although it seems that mark had started to grow feelings for you quite close to the end of secondary school and he had asked you out just before the invasion begun.

Needless to say you accepted your dear friends confession and started dating him!

Although when the invasion had finally started he had changed.. not much! But he wasn’t the same, he seemed more paranoid and scared than ever before.

He was constantly begging for you to stay at his for the night in fear that something bad would happen to you, and whenever you wasn’t there with him he was constantly trying to call you and praying to God that you and him would be safe.

It was a Saturday afternoon and you was trying to relax in your room, you had finally come back home from staying at your boyfriends house for a couple of nights, but just as you had sat down on your bed you heard the house phone ring. You slowly ascended from your bed and walked over to the phone, picking it up expecting it to be a family member or someone who had called the wrong number but was surprised to find that it was your boyfriend, Mark! “Hey babe, I know that you literally just arrived back at yours but I just wanted to make sure nothing happened!” Mark said with a weary voice “yeah I’m fine honey, don’t worry about me!” you replied honestly, happy that he wanted to make sure you were doing alright. That was only the first call.

Every time you got home from anywhere, you’d revive a call from your boyfriend and it slowly became a problem as he wanted for you to stay at his house or always call him. He worried too much for you too keep up with and you could never seem to convince him that nothing bad would happen and that you’d be fine, and you just felt so bad that your sweet boyfriend was driving himself half mad with thoughts of what could happen. You didn’t want to break up with him but soon felt hopeless at your inability to help him and keep him carefree so you decided it just had to happen.

After the break up.

You had told him that you’d love to stay friends with him and continue to hang out with him, to which he seemed quite content with.

After a while he had introduced you to his best friend; Cesar Torres, you had seen him around before but never thought that you’d ever get to know him.

You found that Cesar was quite extroverted and loved to talk to you and mark, he had a fondness of suits and whenever he came round to yours or Mark’s he would always be wearing one, he was also quite the gentleman and he’d always bring you a nice bouquet of flowers whenever he came to visit you.

You had soon became good friends with Cesar and he visited you often!

Soon enough friendship moved onto a relationship and you had found yourself spending less and less time with your childhood friend, Mark, and spending more time with your new boyfriend.

It worried Mark as he thought that he was no longer worthy of your love, no longer needed. And so, the phone calls started up again.

It was nothing but sweet short casual chats.

During one of those chats he mentioned that he still liked you, although he had no idea you and Cesar were dating.

So you had to carefully drop the bombshell on him.

Cesar was around at your house just paying you a ‘small’ visit as he usually did, he was sorting out dinner ‘as a gift from him to you’ is what he’d say whenever you asked why. And you couldn’t lie, he was a really good cook. You was just about to waltz over to the kitchen until- *ring,,,ring* the house phone. You knew it was probably mark and decided that he could wait a few seconds. Uh oh, bad decision [name]!

As you were watching Cesar cook you heard abrupt knocking on your door, it wasn’t aggressive, no. It just sounded a bit… desperate? So you slowly trotted over to the door to find Mark stood outside, a worried expression worn on his face. But as soon as he saw you his face lit up as if he was glad to see you. You opened the door and was about to greet him but he cut you off.

“[Name]! I’m so glad you’re alright, what happened? Why didn’t you answer the phone?! Is something wrong??” He rambled on, sounding scared and sad at the same time. “I- no, no, everything is fine Mark! Nothing bad happened I promise!” You smiled at him, hoping it’d calm his nerves. But out of nowhere Cesar called out to you. “Mi amor~! Dinners ready!!” Crap. Mark looked at you, confused for a second, but his face soon became one of surprise and sadness. “[name].. you and Cesar are dating?” His voice filled with sorrow as he spoke. “Yeah.. I wanted to tell you earlier but I didn’t know how..” you looked away, feeling guilty. Guilty of what? You didn’t know.

How Cesar reacts to finding out mark still likes [name].

At first he’s shocked, not much but still shocked.

He doesn’t know how to react, knowing that his best friend still likes his girlfriend.

He honestly doesn’t mind it, as long as you stay loyal to him that is.

(There isn’t much for me to write about his reaction because I honestly think that he’d be chill with it)

Bringing up the idea of a love triangle/polyamorous relationship with them both!

Now this could go one of two ways, number 1; you bring it up and they agree on sharing you, the two of them staying friends. Or number 2; them agreeing and also becoming romantic partners!

Either way it’d be a happy relationship between the three of you, and you all liked happily after🥳

The end!

——————————————————————————————

Sorry if this seems quite rushed or perhaps I took too long, the end is quite short because I honestly couldn’t think of much, but thanks for your request anon! -Host Cesar!

[sxdvxxbes]

Since you guys really liked the last one, I made another goofy mandela parody.

[its-dari]

To the Heart of It

Pairing(s): Alternate! Cesar Torres X Gender Neutral! Reader

Summary: You try and tell yourself that you didn't lose the love of your life, you just have to keep believing that... But why is the alternate letting you believe your own lie?

A/N: Down the rabbit hole I go, I guess. I wanted to explore this idea so here, I probably won't be writing for the Mandela Catalogue again tho - I won't be taking requests.

(I also again do not have a blog for this, so I'm just posting it on my main.)

Warning(s): Angst. Mentions of Suicide and Character Death. Obsessive/Possessive Behavior. Body Horror.

When you came to see Cesar, worried about his lack of correspondence, you didn't even consider the alternates as an obstacle. There would be nothing getting in the way of you seeing him. Come hell or high water.

Bursting into the nearly empty house, you called his name over and over in search. Close to sobbing at the stabbing of anxiety every second you went on without knowing of he was okay.

Cesar's voice was low when it called to you, quiet as your name came from the end of the dark hallway.

You sprinted towards him without hesitation, arms swinging ariund his body. Enough to make him stumble and grunt in surprise.

Sobbing into his neck, you whisper, "I'm so happy..."

He was motionless before he cradled you in his arms.

You knew then that he wasn't Cesar.

Not quite anyway.

His voice would distort and shake between his sweet nothings.

His form, while sharing his face, was different depending on the day.

He'd come back smelling like blood.

But he always came back, always spent his time with you. Reciprocating your affections and "sleeping" in your arms, taking the time to run out to get supplies and make sure the house was stocked.

His laugh was the same, his voice was still gentle as it spoke to you.

He cradled you in his arms like you two were the only people in the world.

He still wasn't your Cesar Torres.

Just a monster wearing his skin.

It was nice to pretend.

But one winter night, tucked in the chest of the thing you knew killed the man you loved...

"I know you're not actually him." You whisper, staring at the swirling darkness at the edges of the room.

Still sleepy, even as the being behind you twitched.

"What do you mean?"

He almost sounded... Nervous.

"I know you're an alternate... I've known this whole time, the minute I heard you speak." You were so tired "... Why did you play along? Let me pretend?"

There was silence, oppressive and heavy. Lanky arms, that were much too powerful, curled tighter around your body.

In the whole of your heart, you couldn't call him an it.

His voice was fragmented, others interspersed between his soft tones.

"I was curious."

"Knew humans do a lot for their loved ones."

"Wanted to see why he loved you so much."

"Wanted to experience what it was like to be loved."

There was an extended silence and the whispers quieted.

"Cesar's" voice came, lips pressed to your ear. His voice was quiet, "Do you still love me?"

You peer into the shadows, your eyes welling with tears. Feeling very alone at the prospect of being left, arms like a vice around you. But he's still here.

He hasn't let go.

You would not cave to dying at your own hands.

Not when you seeked out the answer.

He knew that.

You turn.

His eyes were black as the void, dark and deep.

Your fingers curled around his cheek.

"Are you going to leave if I tell you that I do?" Your voice shook, fingers sweeping through his dark hair.

He shut his eyes, seemingly enjoying the feeling. Sighing quietly, though he is not breathing anymore. As there was no need to do it for show now thst you knew.

"No." His lashes were as dark and pretty as his hair having used photos to make sure he was close as he could be. "I don't think I can anymore."

Lips still soft as he kissed you, murmuring against your mouth. "You're mine now dearest lamb... I won't let you be taken by anything else. Other humans... My own kind... No one, not even yourself."

You whimpered against his lips but it's stamped out as he kissed you deeper, pressing you into the mattress.

"You've given... me a taste of love, made me... burn for you." He said in reverence, voice stalling occasionally "... I love you the way he did."

His face twisted a bit above you, stretching the features of the man you adored into frightening proportions. Smile stretched wide across his face.

"Will you still call me Cesar, dearest?... Can you still love me knowing I am not him?"

You peer at him.

Unafraid.

Just seeing this bastardized version of him should have broken you.

Should have driven you MAD, finally ready to run instead into the arms of death to see an afterlife with the real Cesar.

In the end, you fell in love with this creature.

All because he donned your boyfriend's face.

Cesar, the real one, might curse your name until you died and went to hell. For falling for the creature that killed him and wore his skin.

But as you lived and breathed, it was still love.

Your hands wound around his neck and you kissed his grotesque features, peppering his face.

He sunk into your affections like a cat.

You only smile.

"Do you have another name? Or will just petnames suffice?"

His cold, thin fingers stroke away your tears while his face morphed back into familiar territory.

"... Keep calling me Cesar until we'll pick a new name together."

You hummed, gently drawing him back under the covers. Body curling comfortingly around you.

Protective.

Solid.

... In the end, you still get to be with the man you loved more than anything so you were happy.

And now... So was he.

[morgandoesstuffsig]

Can I request the jealousy reactions from the Victims of Mandela Catalogue? I read your other post of victims reacting to receiving affection my heart just absolutely soared. If it’s too complicated, don’t do it. :]

HOLY SHIT MY FIRST REQUEST!!! HIHIHI<333

ofcofc, if it's on my masterlist then I'll def. write it <3 love the victims frfr

also ty for the compliments, got me melting over here💕

c.w // jealousy (obv..), d/ckhead (?) in mark's part ngl, also really oblivious reader

JEALOUS MUCH?

start under cut.

MARK HEATHCLIFF

look at the goofy lil skrunkly

he doesn't get jealous easily

or in general

but...

if you're skipping or canceling hangouts with him just to see someone else constantly...

well, you'll see--

"Hey (Y/N)!" Mark called out behind you. You'd been walking around with (?), and he just happened to be close by.

"Hey Mark." You greeted with a smile as he jogged up to be by your side.

"Who's this?" He asked, pointing at (?).

"Ah! This is (?), my new friend! We've been hanging out a lot!" You exclaimed, and Mark nodded, smiling. But then, (?) locked arms with you and leaned into your side.

"Yeah, me and (Y/N) have been hanging out pretty much everyday this month, only besides the short 2 days when she was hanging out with you." (?) said, with a condescending smirk on their face as they stared down at Mark.

"..I see." He turned to look at you, "Is this the one who keeps having you cancel the hangouts?"

"I don't force (Y/N) to do anything, I think they just like a little better than you--" (?) started.

"I'm sorry? I don't like any of my friends more than the other!! You're all my friends, so I like you all equally!! Please don't pick another fight, (?).." You interjected. (?) just rolled their eyes and looked back at Mark.

"We've got somewhere to be right now, so goodbye." (?) said turning around and attempting to take you with them.

Mark grabbed you other arm softly and pulled you out of (?)'s arm lock, and silently lead you two away from (?).

yeah..

ya'll just left (?) in the middle of nowhere

oh well

skill issue

CESAR TORRES

go homosexual alternate go!!

yeah he's technically an alternate the entire timeline so...

he's one here too

since alternates don't usually feel, well, feelings

jealousy is new to Cesar

he has no idea why he gets that clenching feeling in his stomach when he sees you with (?), all close and even just slightly touching

and that voice telling him to just take you away from them is getting louder and louder

so what does he do?

he listens to it.

There you were, laughing with (?). You two had just gotten back from a fun time at a carnival in the next town over, and (?) was walking you home.

"Oh! Remember how scared you were on the Ferris wheel? Your face was priceless!" You laughed, covering your mouth with your hand.

"Oh, shut up!" (?) said, nudging you with their elbow.

"You know--" You started, but then (?) stopped moving and laughing. They were staring at something straight ahead in fear; you followed their eyes to see Cesar, standing ahead, just a couple feet away. The only thing that really scared (?) was that half of his face was missing besides his eye.

yeah safe to say your friend ran away

"why'd you--"

"I missed you."

yeah he took you away after that <3

away as in home

ya'll had a fun time there doing whatever it is you do with someone

idk i havent had human contact in years leave me alone /hj

JONAH MARSHALL

cute and goofy. perfect combo. just add in some stupid.

↑ recipe to make ur very own jonah

anygays

he is very goofy

so it seems impossible for him to get jealous right??

wrong.

he gets jealous very easily

and constantly tbh

he'll just pout at you and whoever he's jealous of

You were sitting at a restaurant with Jonah and (?). You and (?) had been chatting the entire time since they sat across from you, and the normally very loud Jonah was dead silent.

"Yeah so then I--" (?) started, but you stopped listening after a second because you felt something tug at your (shirt/sweater) sleeve. You looked next to you to see a pouting Jonah, with his cheeks all puffed out and goofy lil' mad face. <333

"How come you're not talking to me too??" He whined quietly, and you just had to let out a small giggle.

you had to let him in on the convo

he was back to normal in no time

when you guys left he was very clingy tho

no im not showing favoritism wdym

ADAM MURRAY

lets pretend adam wasnt a fr d/ckhead in the last volume ngl

he is chill

...sometimes

if he's woken up on the wrong side of the bed or sum

then he will get jealous quickly

not as fast as jonah but still

pretty fast

"Yeah so what movie did you want to watch?" You asked (?). You were at your house, and were going to have a movie marathon together.

"I was thinking.."

Little did either of you know, a groggy and grumpy Adam had entered the room, not have founding you anywhere in the other room with him.

"what're you doing?" he said, shocking both you and (?).

"HOLY SHIT ADAM-- You scared us!!" You said, whipping your head back to see him right behind the sofa.

"So?"

"sighh... we're having a movie marathon."

"Move over then, I'm joining."

he had his arms wrapped around you the entire time

silently pulling you closer and closer to him

he kept going 'till you two reached the edge farthest from (?)

poor (?)

they just wanted to watch movies

adam probably dragged you away to make popcorn with him lmfao

#LOWERCASE INTENDED

꩜━━MARK HEATHCLIFF, VICTIM 01. . .

𖠵𝟎𝟏: Mark didn't really initiate the relationship at first, not being all that interested in what relationships had in store.

however, he quickly grew fond of you, and Cesar highly encouraged him to ask you out! and that he did...

𖠵𝟎𝟐: he isn't a very touchy person, but he doesn't reject the idea, either. if you want to cuddle, he'll happily do so, but you have to be the one to initiate it.

𖠵𝟎𝟑: you happened to be a big stress reliever for this man! whenever he feels stressed or overwhelmed, he'll plop himself on top of you and ask if you can rant about something so he can listen to you talk.

𖠵𝟎𝟒: he's always been slightly protective over you regarding getting yourself hurt. when the idea of alternates came out, god, that was multiplied by 100,000.

he would not let you go almost anywhere by yourself. (at least out in public). he'd eye anyone you'd be talking to, trying to figure out if they were an alternate.

𖠵𝟎𝟓: he's a silent lover; he shows he loves you with smaller actions rather than big ones.

𖠵𝟎𝟔: it doesn't take much to make him happy romantically. as long as you're safe and unharmed, that's all that really matters to him.

𖠵𝟎𝟕: isn't much for PDA, but he'll hold your hand everywhere to ensure that you don't wander off anywhere.

𖠵𝟎𝟖: takes really good care of you! especially when you're sick or injured. he'll stress heavily over either one ‹/3 the boy just wants you to be healthy. he doesn't mind either, one of his favorite things to do is take care of you.

𖠵𝟎𝟗: makes sure to check on you regularly to see how you're feeling, physically and mentally; this was heightened after MAD came out.

𖠵𝟏𝟎: has always felt a little awkward around you, given how much he likes you. he sometimes shyly links your pinkies, hoping you'll get the memo that he wants to hold your hand.

for some reason, he won’t directly ask you when he wants affection…

𖠵𝟏𝟏: isn't too big on pet names, but he'll occasionally call you “baby/babe” or “sweetheart.”

𖠵𝟏𝟐: steal all of his hoodies!1!1 i guarantee you he has thousands. he finds you super cute in them anyways, especially if you’re smaller than him so that you drown in them. (he won't admit that, though).

𖠵𝟏𝟑: a really good cook! he always makes sure you’re eating well and enough ‹3

𖠵𝟏𝟒: one of his favorite things to do is run his fingers through your hair or even brush it if you let him ‹//3

꩜━━CESAR TORRES, VICTIM 02. . .

𖠵𝟎𝟏: starting off with alive Cesar. he was more loud with his love! almost the complete opposite of Mark, really.

𖠵𝟎𝟐: a pretty big hopeless romantic, i'd imagine. he loved to take you out on really romantic dates. it doesn't matter if it was a big occasion or not.

𖠵𝟎𝟑: he'd boast on and on about how much he loves you to Mark ‹/3

𖠵𝟎𝟒: a big cuddle bug! he loved to be attached to your hip no matter where you went. he'd hold your hand without meaning to, LMFAO.

𖠵𝟎𝟓: would bring you home the biggest bouquet of flowers he could find and/or afford.

𖠵𝟎𝟔: each and every morning, you'd either wake up to: (A) Cesar literally on top of you or (B) you suffocated in his chest from him pulling you so close.

𖠵𝟎𝟕: Cesar liked to call you “baby,” “mariposa,” and “(my) love!”

𖠵𝟎𝟖: we all know he's a family man ‹/3 he was so excited to start a family and get married. starts crying

𖠵𝟎𝟗: loved to pick clothes out for you and choose your outfits.

𖠵𝟏𝟎: now, let's move on to alternate Cesar...

these apply to the theory/headcanon that any human who gets turned into an alternate still has their original features/personalities from their human self and has at least a silver of their dignity left. (@/hornyforgothdick headcanon.)

𖠵𝟏𝟏: he's a lot more withdrawn because he's scared he's going to hurt you accidentally.

𖠵𝟏𝟐: watches over you very intently while you sleep, making sure nothing (meaning any other alternates/intruders) gets inside your house.

𖠵𝟏𝟑: was very against the idea of affection, being incredibly not used to it (as an alternate). however, you've found out that giving him affection helps calm him down and keep his sanity intact — well... whatever's left of it anyways.

𖠵𝟏𝟒: grimaces at literally anyone else but you, given his nature of being an alternate. for that reason, you prefer he stays at home.

however, he despises the idea of you going out alone because he can't be there to protect you.

𖠵𝟏𝟓: i can't decide whether or not he'd tell Gabriel of you because he wants to make it abundantly clear that you should not, no matter the circumstances, be harmed by his or any other alternates hands or because he fears that Gabriel would purposefully try and target you.

꩜━━ADAM MURRAY, VICTIM 03. . .

𖠵𝟎𝟏: Adam is fairly similar to Mark when it comes to romance. although he more actively sought it out.

𖠵𝟎𝟐: Jonah noticed the way he kept staring at you and kept nagging him to confess because “it’s honestly sickening the way you look at them.”

Jonah was actually the one who gave you Adam’s number, LMFAO.

𖠵𝟎𝟑: he's infatuated with you and doesn't hear the end of it from Jonah and Sarah.

𖠵𝟎𝟒: you catch him staring at you with the most lovesick eyes like 24/7 and when asking why he says, “can’t a guy bask in his lover’s beauty?”

𖠵𝟎𝟓: one to hold your hand or have his on your thigh while he's driving.

𖠵𝟎𝟔: felt horrible he had to stop taking you out in public when he became wanted ‹//3

𖠵𝟎𝟕: protested against the idea of you getting involved with his work because god forbid something happen to you under his control...

you normally stayed in the car with Jonah, while he goes inside the houses. (always glaring at him to not try anything, LMFAO).

𖠵𝟎𝟖: gave you one of his hoodies that he adores seeing you in!!! it's because it's a soft reminder that you're his lover and not someone elses ‹//3

𖠵𝟎𝟗: “baby/babe” and “princess/prince.”

𖠵𝟏𝟎: you were the first one he quite literally ran to after his and Jonah's last mission. he clung to you days afterward.

you, however, didn't know what to make of the situation. how were you supposed to know that this Adam was YOUR Adam?

𖠵𝟏𝟏: keeps you closely knitted at his side whenever you two are out together; he wouldn't know what to do if something happened to you.

𖠵𝟏𝟐: sorry y'all, there's no meeting his (actual) parents ‹//3

𖠵𝟏𝟑: the type to get angry-worried at you if you put yourself in front of harm's way. )):

𖠵𝟏𝟒: he knows he probably doesn't deserve you, which terrifies him. he's scared that you're randomly gonna get up and leave one day or that the alternates are going to target you to get to him; you are his one and only weakness.

꩜━━JONAH MARSHALL, VICTIM 04. . .

𖠵𝟎𝟎: LET'S GOOOO MY MANNNN!!! 👹👹 ‼️‼️‼️

𖠵𝟎𝟏: Jonah is 100% your number one hypeman. he's ready to cheer for you on just about anything.

𖠵𝟎𝟐: he always tried to 'subtly' flirt with you before you started dating, thinking he sounded calm and confident. nine times out of ten, he got nervous and stumbled over his words ‹/3

𖠵𝟎𝟑: would not shut up about you to Adam or Sarah.

𖠵𝟎𝟒: a touchy person! he loves to be holding onto you in one way or another. he's basically a koala.

𖠵𝟎𝟓: likes to drag you along on their ghost-hunting uhhh expeditions; Adam doesn't mind because you normally keep him out of trouble, LMFAO.

𖠵𝟎𝟔: loves whenever you run your fingers through his hair! (and he has a lots of it)!

𖠵𝟎𝟕: whenever he gets scared of like... uncertain of something, he'll always pull you protectively at his side.

𖠵𝟎𝟖: Jonah probably calls you every pet name in the book, but the most common ones are “baby/babe,” “(my) princess/prince,” and “doll.”

𖠵𝟎𝟗: whenever Adam leaves to investigate the houses, most of the time, Jonah takes that time to make out with you ‹//3

𖠵𝟏𝟎: is the person to go "shh!" whenever you're trying to sleep, and people are being too noisy.

𖠵𝟏𝟏: quite the jealous and protective boyfriend. however, he trusts Adam enough not to be around him.

𖠵𝟏𝟐: has like 10,000 Polaroid pictures of you; he keeps one on him at all times.

𖠵𝟏𝟑: kisses your palms before pressing them against his cheeks, relishing in your touch.

𖠵𝟏𝟒: flirts/compliments you juuust to see you smile or blush.

𖠵𝟏𝟓: squeals very loudly whenever he sees you wearing his clothes.

𖠵𝟏𝟔: boasts about you like he's your mom, LMFAOAOS.

𖠵𝟏𝟕: would throw himself in front of danger if it meant protecting you.

can i request jealous mark (tmc) and a highly oblivious reader oneshot? he’s showing signs he jealous badly and y/n doesn’t seem to notice

Ngl I was heavily debating on whether to have Cesar be human/alive or his alternate, but....I don't see much of human ces so I went with that!

..........

Mark wasn't the most extroverted person, and certainly not experienced in dating whatsoever.

It took him ages to work up the ability to ask you out on a date...and even longer for you to realize he didn't mean that as "a friend". You genuinely thought he wanted to hangout like you did every other day.

But thanks to Cesar's intervention, that confusion was quickly cleared up before the end of the night, sparing you both from feelings of rejection and awkwardness.

Only then you realized "oh shit, we were actually on a date" and reassured him that you genuinely liked him back, offering to take him out next time to make up for your oblivious behavior.

He was a forgiving guy, so he accepted it, and from there on the relationship grew.

Of course, he sometimes struggled to express his emotions. At the end of the day, he still felt like that loner kid who always clung to his notebooks and the cross necklace he never left home without..unsure of what he should be doing now that he had a partner. He'd worry about whether he was doing the right things, so he'd often turn to Cesar for further advice.

You usually initiated most the romantic gestures, which he'd sometimes try to mimic. For instance, you'd write positive messages and his favorite psalms on sticky notes to leave in his locker; and the next day, he left notes in yours.

It was sweet, and you reassured him you appreciated them.

On the weekends, Cesar continued hanging out with you both, often tagging along as a wingman for dates. Obviously you weren't going to keep the two from being best friends, so you didn't mind it at all as long as he didn't feel like a third wheel.

However as time went on, Mark slowly began to notice that the man who helped him confess to you...

Was also the same guy he started becoming jealous of.

He could see how often Cesar's jokes made you laugh, or when his friendly teasing caused you to playfully slap his shoulder, unable to hide the grin on your face.

And for some reason..it stung.

Sure, he was one of the popular kids, the most charismatic, the guy everybody in school wanted to be friends with. This was how he always acted around him and you.

But to Mark, it felt like a thorn was permanently stuck in his side, wishing he was the one who made you laugh and joke around the most.

It was easy for Cesar, yet difficult for him somehow.

Some nights, he'd lie awake wondering what he could do differently...or if you're better off dating him instead.

Of course he wasn't going to tell you this and tried pushing down those envious feelings, thinking they'll go away in their own.

Yet it only got worse after the Alternates became more of a prevalent threat.

Stricter curfews were set in place throughout several counties, and more people were urged to stay inside their homes and keep their television usage down to a minimum.

This meant that you, Mark, and Cesar spent a lot more time together, staying at each other's homes and never leaving a single person alone for too long. If you absolutely had to go out, it'll be as a group.

For tonight, though, you were all spending it at Mark's place, trying to find ways to pass the time.

Cesar, being not too concerned about the Alternates, suggested watching a horror movie, popping the VHS into the cassette player while you got some popcorn before joining him on the sofa. You liked the idea and believed it to be a good escape from reality.

Mark, on the other hand, thought you two lost your minds.

"Did you guys just..forget that entire broadcast?" He bluntly asked when you invited him over. "We shouldn't even be having the TV on..let alone a scary movie. Turn it off."

"Mark, relax. It's fine." Cesar waved his hand, brushing off his friend's concerns. "It's a cheesy monster movie. Nothing's gonna crawl out of the TV and get us."

The brunette just frowned back at him, not liking how close he was to you yet being unable to do anything about it. "You don't know that."

"Just c'mon over here, dude." He sighed, noticing that your gaze was fixated on the screen, watching the monster stalk its first victim. "Who else is gonna protect [y/n] when the scariest part-?"

As if on cue, the shrill scream of the victim and the monster's horrific roars startled you. It made you jump and instinctively cling to the closest person.

Who happened to be Cesar.

Moments later, you realized your mistake and immediately shuffled away, bashful as he laughed at your reaction. "S-Sorry. That just..really got me. I didn't expect that!"

"It's all good. Now Mark, you can-"

However, when you both looked at Mark, you could see he was fuming, as though on the verge of screaming in rage. But then he closed his eyes and took several deep breaths, before mumbling something under his breath.

"What's up, hun?" You tilted your head, wondering what was wrong.

"I said I'm going to bed. You and Torres can do whatever the hell you want. I'm done trying."

"Wait, we can find another movie!" You tried calling out to him, but your words fell on deaf ears as he stormed out of the living room, disappearing down the corridor.

Seconds later you heard the door slam shut, and Cesar became tense, feeling his heart drop.

He was only trying to help Mark become a more confident boyfriend, but it seems he just made things ten times worse. He never called him by his last name unless he was extremely pissed off.

Maybe he went too far.

"You should go talk to him.."

"About what?" You looked at him, confused. "Is he mad we didn't listen to the broadcast?"

"...I feel like it's more than that."

Although your friend sounded quite vague, you decided to take his advice and leave for Mark's bedroom, telling him that he can keep the movie going.

After you reached your boyfriend's door, you knocked a few times, stepping back as it swung open and revealed an angry-looking Mark. But upon seeing you, his gaze softened. "Why aren't you with Cesar?"

"I was worried about you." You pointed out.

"...really? I'm surprised." He averted his eyes, swallowing the lump in his throat.

"Can we just talk? I wanna know what I did wrong."

He was silent for a moment, forgetting that you were very dense and didn't see the obvious signs.

But he invited you inside, and after shutting the door you sat down on the bed together. Mark was still quiet as he tried to figure out what to say, wringing his hands together in an anxious manner.

You, on the other hand, decided to list out everything that could've possibly upset him this much. No matter what, you're not leaving until you wrestle the truth out of him.

"If..it's about us not listening to the broadcast-"

"No..no..it's..not that. I want us to stay safe but..that's not why I left. It's a stupid reason, now that I think about it..." He rubbed the back of his neck.

"Did it...have anything to do with Cesar?"

Finally, you hit the nail on the head.

Thank god.

Mark was eventually able to admit how much he disliked the closeness you two shared even though it was Cesar who pushed him to ask you out. It was hard for him not to sound like a possessive asshole, but he felt like that's the impression he was getting when he saw your frown.

Great. Now you're probably gonna argue with him about much he was overreacting and how he didn't need to storm off like a child.

But instead, you hugged him..much to his shock.

"I'm so, so sorry, hun. I..I never even noticed until now." You pulled away and looked at him, feeling guilty that you never realized this. "But you know I'll always choose you over him, right? I'm sure he didn't mean to act that way."

"I know, I know. It's how he is." He sighed, his shoulders slightly relaxing. "I just...I wish I could be as confident as him. I hate being so uptight and paranoid all the time...and when I see him making the better jokes and moves, I.....l-like I said, it's stupid-"

"It's not stupid. I promise." You took one of his hands into yours, squeezing it gently. "I'll admit, it's kinda cute seeing you get jealous. I never thought you had that in you."

A blush formed on his face. "....m-me neither. So..are you sure that-?"

"Mark. I love you, and you alone. Cesar's a funny guy, but you're protective, polite, and honest. And I admire that. You don't have to be like him or anybody else, okay?" Smiling, you kissed him on the cheek. "We can go watch something else if you want, or if you wanna stay here."

"No, I'll..go watch that movie with you. But I'm gonna be the one protecting you from now on." He huffed, gaining some newfound confidence.

You just chuckled softly, taking his hands and pulling him up to his feet.

"Now that's the Mark I know and love."

Cesar: I did it!

Y/N: I did ur mom

Cesar: hey! Don't say that! She's dead!

Y/N: I never said I was gentle

Cesar Torres x GN! Reader (Platonic Headcanons)

Requested by: @laturacai

Cesar is definitely a momma's boy and it's understandable since his mom is so nice.

Whenever you come over to his house, his mom immediately rushes over to you and hugs you before asking if you’re hungry

I could see Cesar being a pretty popular guy so he gets invited to a lot of parties

But he’d rather hang out with you and Mark

Cesar is a extrovert so he’s constantly asking you and Mark to come and hang out with him

Whether it be at the mall, eating at a nearby restaurant, or having a sleepover at his or Mark’s place

I could see Cesar being really bad at all video games except for Mario Kart and he abuses it

Either way he’s just happy to hang out with his friends :)

Y’all could be stuck in a room with no windows or doors and he would still have a good time as long as he got to do it with y'all

Once the alternates come along he doesn’t really react much

Like yeah it's weird, but what’s the possibility of something happening to y’all?

Though he’s concerned about his mom since she seemed very scared by all the events going on recently

During one of Mark’s sleepovers, Cesar and you were play Mario Kart and he was kicking your ass

Mark watched the two of y’all play as he stuffed popcorn into his mouth and laughed whenever one of y’all got hit by something

That was until Mark’s home phone went off cutting off y’alls laughter

Mark just rolled his eyes and got up to answer it

Just a few moments later Mark rushed back in and handed the phone over to Cesar

And just like that, Cesar was quickly packing up and wishing you two goodbye

You escorted him outside as he got inside his car

You offered to come with him as moral support since he said that his mom had called him all shaken up

But Cesar refused, telling you that he'll tell you all about it in the morning once he got back home

He gave you a hug and a small uncertain smile

He never came back

Alt! Cesar

The banging was constant and ear shatteringly loud

It begged and cried for you to let it in claiming that it was Cesar

But you knew better, the thing outside your door was nothing but a cheap imitation of your best friend

For the first day all he did was slam on your door and scream for you to let him in

On the second day it begged and constantly knocked on the door

With the final day the only thing you could hear was his wailing and scratching

Despite it being a mimic you started to feel bad since it sounded like it was having a mental break down or something

You couldn’t take it any longer and opened the door seeing ‘Cesar’ curled up on the floor

But once it seemed to notice that the door was open, it quickly jumped up and hugged you tightly

It took you a few minutes for you to pry the alternate off of you

After a hour of interrogation you learned that the alternate had wanted to learn about you since it had learned that you were friends with the person he was imitating

You agreed to take him in as long as he protected you from other alternates in the area

Cesar quickly took the offer and adapted

He was ‘strange’ to say the least since he wasn’t human and didn’t understand social cues very well

You told him stories about the wild hijinks you, Mark, and Cesar had gotten up to when he was alive

Cesar seemed enthralled with the stories you would tell him and would look at you with wonder every time you told him one

He asked tons of questions about anything and everything

Birds? Windmills? Books? What the hell are those?

He’s excited to see the world and all the new wonderful things in it

And he’s happy to experience it with you

Thank you for reading! I had a lot of fun with this one hence why it's a little long. But an extra thanks to @laturacai for requesting it in the first place!

Mandela Catalogue: Mirth ♡

New place, new encounters! ♡

Cheerful.

Bubbly.

Friendly.

Kind.

Those are all the characteristics you have.

Your name is (Y/N). You are a 21 year old girl with a..quirky personality. You always had a cheerful friendly expression on your face. I mean, you loved to meet people and give them some sweets (mostly cookies). You were also a big hugger. No matter what kind of personality people have, you would always hug them for no apparent reason whatsoever.

You had recently moved out from your dad's house. You needed to find a good job somewhere. A job that pays well, has good management, and good workers. Luckily, you found a place that has jobs with all of the characters you expected.

Mandela County.

You had heard about this county before. The county is currently in a deadly situation causing danger towards people's lives. And that deadly situation is..

Alternates.

You remembered that you learned about Alternates and that they are dangerous creatures that will inflict death onto you. Knowing you though, you always believed that people, dangerous or not, always have good inside of their hearts. You believed that every single person in the entire world, regardless if they are human or not, have a piece of gold in their heart.

With that belief, you wanted to be friendly to those Alternates. So you decided, 'Screw it. I'm gonna move to Mandela County.'

What could possibly go wrong?

So you moved to the county. And let's just say that you weren't expecting the county to be so..gray and dull. That was weird. You had never seen a place that has the colors of an abandoned city. You assumed the Alternates were causing the gray and dull colors to appear. But oh well, you dealt with gray and dull before. Like I said...

What could possibly go wrong?

As you moved into the neighborhood, it was even more dull and gray. There was nobody walking, so the entire neighborhood looked all empty. Now you were getting concerned about the people in the neighborhood. You hoped that the Alternates did not hurt them. You didn't even met them before but your selfless instincts were kicking it. You decided to check on them.

After setting your stuff down at your new home, you went to a nearby house. You rang the doorbell, nobody answered. Huh, that was weird. You were confused. Maybe they went out? You went into another house.

You rang the doorbell and knocked on the door. No response. 'Okay, maybe they went out as well.' you thought. You walked to another house

Ding Dong! No response.

And then another house..

Ding Dong! Again?

And then another house..

Ding Dong! Okay what the hell is going on?

And then another house...

Ding Dong! At this rate, you became more concerned for this neighborhood.

At this point, you became worried. Why was nobody responding? Is this a busy neighborhood? Wait..What if the Alternates already killed your neighbors!? Maybe the Alternates were more deadly than you thought. You decided to walk back home for your safety.

As you were walking back home, you found a dark haired man wearing a suit walking to his house. You were surprised to see him. 'Maybe he might be part of my neighborhood!' you thought. You went into friendly mode and decided to meet him and ask about this neighborhood. You walked up to him.

"Hi! My name is (Y/N) (L/N)! So nice to meet you! I am new here in Mandela County so..How are you?" You said with a cheerful tone, sticking your hand out. The dark haired man looked at her confused.

"Um, hi. My name is Cesar Torres." He said hesitantly as he shakes your hand.

"Well..I'm sure you'll enjoy this place." The man said with a calm expression. It had taken you by surprise but you didn't care.

"Uh heh yeah uh quick ol' question..What the heck happened to everyone in this neighborhood!?" You shouted at Cesar a little bit.

"Calm down, ma'am. They are alright. They are hiding from..inconveniences." Cesar said with a pause there. "Inconveniences?" You said, confused.

"Yes. The inconveniences around here are..not as important as you think. So do not worry..about them." He said with a couple pauses.

"Um..okay?" You responded with a nervous smile on your face. Cesar walked past you with a monotone expression on his face. You were still confused at his answer. I mean..Inconveniences? What kind of inconveniences. The alternates perhaps? Maybe it couldn't be the Alternates. I mean like he said, the inconveniences are not really important as the alternates were. You were still having that bit of confusion, but you proceeded to go home. You needed to be ready for getting hired tomorrow.

~next day~

You woke up with a good mood, as you were ready to earn that job as a cafe worker. You got up from your bed, took a shower, ate breakfast, and prepared your belongings. You went outside, excited and happy despite the boring colors of the neighborhood and drove off to the cafe for your job.

After driving for a bit, you realized that you needed gas. Fortunately, you found a nearby gas station with some people in it.

As you refilled your car with gas, you noticed that it has suddenly become awfully quiet. Weird. At first, you saw people walking with groceries but then next, it's like they all vanished into thin air. So what's going on?

As you patiently waited for your car to get finished, suddenly, a black shadowy figure with white eyes jumped down right in front of you, startling you. You stared at it with wide eyes as it stared at you back with those unsettling eyes. It was whispering something to you. Normally, when people see this creature, they would be scared, shocked, and would run away. However, you uh-

"Hi! I'm (Y/N) (L/N)! What's yours?"

What?

You held out your hand with a friendly expression on your face. That's right. Your friendly instincts are back. And they are even stronger now.

The creature looked at you with a confused look on his face. He whispered something again. However, you could not understand what he was saying. You tilted your head. "I'm sorry?" You said confuzzled.

You then noticed your car was finally full of gas. Well, time to say goodbye to this weirdo. "Heh, sorry dude. I gotta go get my job now." You said with a kind expression. You removed the nozzle off your car and you get inside your vehicle. The creature walked towards you.

You rolled down your window, forgetting something. "Oh, I forgot! Here's a cookie!" You pulled out a chocolate chip cookie and gave it to the creature.

The creature was left there, standing completely idle with the cookie in his hand. He had an expression that basically said, 'What?'

Of course dearie! I’m actually surprised more people haven’t asked for more Mandela Catalogue! I hope you enjoy! This is human Cesar!!!

Cesar is nothing if not clingy. Like, unbearably so. There is never a minute where he is not attached to your hip, trying to give you more affection than what one person would be able to reasonably handle.

Definitely the quickest one to kidnap you out of all the cast except for maybe Adam. He just can’t help it! Cesar couldn’t risk you getting hurt by an alternate (or falling in love with someone else), truly he’s just doing this for your best interest!

Before kidnapping you, he’s definitely the type to daydream about holding you close as you tell Cesar you love him. The thought of you returning even a fraction of his feelings makes his heart race and Cesar swore he would implode if he couldn’t have you in his arms soon.

On that note, Cesar is honestly fairly delusional. For example, if you try to argue with him about how him keeping you in his house against your will is wrong, Cesar’s mind will make up something along the lines of you just need a nap plus some cuddles and kisses before you’ll be back to normal.

Cesar absolutely loves to be the big spoon when cuddling you. You just feel so nice to cling onto! Plus this way he can hold you tight enough to where you can’t get away. If your being particularly squirmy, he just assumes your uncomfortable laying on that side of your body, so Cesar flips you around to face him and pulls you flush against his chest until you drift off.

Should you return his affection in anyway, shape, or form, Cesar practically pounces on you. If you weren’t already overwhelmed before, you sure are now.

Immediately pulls you into his lap and wraps his arms around you, grinning like the Cheshire Cat. Kisses are pressed to your face with fervor before Cesar licks his lips and finally, finally, slots his mouth against yours, getting lost in your presence.

Regardless of whether you reciprocate that particular action, Cesar is practically vibrating with glee and has decided to make it his personal mission to treat you to anything you desire! Besides privacy or being let go, of course.

Not afraid to kill people if they try to interfere with anything, and honestly I can kind of see him enjoying killing people for you. Luckily Cesar probably won’t have to worry about his mom considering he most likely moved out before kidnapping you.

Overall, as long as you don’t mind being smothered with hugs and kisses throughout the day, it’s not so bad. Just don’t overexcite Cesar to much, who knows what he’ll do.

I have finished my AU of Mandela Catalogue at last.

It's Mafia!au, where Gabriel is Don, and alternates are his crime familie.

For example, Cesar came to Mark to repay a debt, and Adam and Jonah could be persecuted for something.

Alternate x reader toothache hcs

(I know it sounds weird, but I get a lot of bad toothaches, so it's nice to have some comfort)

They could tell that you felt off today

You kept your mouth more shut, and in a awkward position

At some point, would probably just put there hand in your mouth and ask "which one?", while you scream at them for having there hand in your mouth

There are two ways for this to go:

~ GORE WARNING ~

One: you tell them which one is hurting, and they straight rip it out of your mouth right then and there, with there hand

And then comfort you, with you now having to deal with MORE then just a toothache

~ GORE WARNING END ~

Or they don't rip your tooth right out of your mouth, and try to actually help with your pain (instead of try to just get rid of it)

Ether way, by the end of the day your toothache is gone, let's just hope, it's the one where it goes away naturally
