5 Love Languages

SUMMARY: A person doesn't just have one love language, but these are the ones I think would be the most predominant in each of them. In Ortho's case, at least, this is platonic.

CHARACTERS: All NRC Students

TAGS: Fluf; List

COMMENTS: I already knew this concept, but recently I saw it again and this post crossed my mind. This is just my opinion of course, I'm no expert. I hope you enjoy ;)

CONTEXT: According to Dr. Gary Chapman there are 5 Love Languages:

Acts of Service: For these people, actions speak louder than words. These are nice things you do for your partner that make them feel loved and appreciated.

Giving Gifts: For some people, receiving/giving a heartfelt gift is what makes them feel most loved. Gift-giving indicates love and affection. They treasure not only the gift itself but also the time and effort the gift-giver put into it.

Quality Time: This language is all about giving the other person your undivided attention. They feel loved if you are present and focused on them when you are together.

Words of Affirmation: This language uses words to affirm other people. It’s about expressing affection through spoken words, praise, or appreciation.

Physical Touch: To this person, nothing speaks more deeply than appropriate physical touch. They feel love through physical affection.

Riddle Rosehearts - We even have confirmation of that with what happened to Trey in book 2, for example. He will take care of the people that are important to him.

Deuce Spade - I see him as a guy that would do anything for you. He himself says he's not very smart, so he believes the best he can do is being useful and helpful.

Ruggie Bucchi - He knows he's good at this. I think he's the type of person who would want to be taken care of and that's why he takes care of the people he cares about.

Ortho Shroud - We can see that with his brother Idia. He likes to help the people he likes, both in a good way like helping with something, or mean way like forcing a shut-it to go touch grass.

Trey Clover - One of the examples of this language is offering a home-made sweet. And I see him cook your favourite foods and sweets just to see your appreciative smile.

Azul Ashengrotto - I see him as the kind that spoils his loved one. He knows the value of money and hard work. And what better investment than your happiness?

Kalim Al-Asim - I mean, we kinda already saw this multiple times. He is the kind of giving his loved one everything they ask for, or even what they didn't ask for.

Cater Diamond - He is the terminally online type, let's face it. His phone is part of his Body Renders. So getting offline time with you and for you, that's something special!

Jack Howl - He has already said that he is the “lone wolf” type. So wanting to spend time with someone instead of being alone shows that you are special.

Jamil Viper - He is a busy and stressed person. So making time for you in his rare moments of rest shows effort. And wanting to spend time with you rather than alone shows how much he likes you.

Vil Schoenheit - From book 6: spending so much time talking to Rook without paying attention to the rest. He shows love by taking the time to give you as much attention as you deserve.

Idia Shroud - We can see this with Ortho. He's an introvert shut-it that doesn't like people. So wanting to be with you despite all of it and even play together? You are the exception to his rules.

Malleus Draconia - We can see this. He likes to be with you, talk to you, know from you. He miss you. Any time he has available that he can spend with you, giving you attention, he will.

Silver - We know how hard it is for him not to fall asleep all of a sudden. Taking all that effort just to spend time with you and give you attention shows effort.

Jade Leech - He is a man of words. It's true that he likes to use them to deceive and manipulate others. But he's the completely opposite of someone who would fake an "I love you".

Epel Felmier - I think his acts of service would be more connected to his pride. His words on the other hand, especially when they show appreciation for you, that's how he shows he really likes you.

Rook Hunt - Do I need to explain? We can see this ALL THE TIME! He already said that he never lies about this kind of thing. If he loves you, he'll scream to the world how wonderful you are.

Sebek Zigvolt - We see this with Malleus. His words of admiration are not for everyone. The more he likes someone the more he'll praise them and the louder he will say it.

Ace Trappola - He prefer to use his words to tease you. He could also do acts of service, but I think being comfortable with physical affection is his ultimate act of love.

Leona Kingscholar - He's too lazy for anything else. It's not just anyone who pets his ears and lives to tell about it. Just like is not just anyone he wants to be so close to.

Floyd Leech - He's a man of acts, but not the service ones. We know he likes to squeeze people. Usually in a bad way. But for a loved one, squeezes would be loving hugs with some kisses.

Lilia Vanrouge - He can be good with words. But I think his ultimate show of affection would be hugs and more then that kisses. I think he's the type to do that, but only with special people.

If you would like to read more from me, you can find it in my pinned post: INDEX

Thoughts on Eugene being a bad secret-keeper? On one hand I can kinda see it, but on the other hand it feels like an expert thief should know how to keep his mouth shut unless he's intentionally trying to screw someone over.

I rationalize it with, "He's a good secret-keeper when it's important to him." After all, he kept the secret of his real name until it was important to him to reveal it. He kept Rapunzel's secret about her hair, because it was important to him that she not get in trouble or be upset with him for revealing it.

Eugene is pretty cavalier about a lot of things in life. He's smart, but he has so many moments that make him look unintelligent. This is because he's a lazy thinker, not unintelligent; he only turns on the synapses when he really needs them. He relies on instinct, but he's also an excellent strategist when he needs to be.

In his early days in the palace, he wanted people to like him, more than anything. After all, he was the guy who, until minutes ago, was wanted dead or alive. Being in everyone's favor was in his best interest, and sometimes that would include being overly friendly/spreading gossip/being excited about what gifts people were getting, because the giver (who he cares about) was excited.

But over all, I don't think he'd be bad at keeping secrets. This is just my rationalization to make it make sense.

" this is so much easier on animal crossing. " charlie sighed to himself. not that he was an expert or anything, but he watched nikhil play a few times if it meant getting out of another ' let's talk about our feelings ' conversation. even with his tactic of bringing along the other as a form of guidance, he was still as indecisive as ever. he’d always been a very meticulous person, especially when it came to his passion projects. but charlie wasn't much of a gift giver. trying to find something to give to nikhil for making him cry ( again ) was getting tedious. " i mean, in theory, a plant should be a great gift right ? something for him to pour all that emotion into right ? " he questioned, but he doesn’t give him any time to answer before going on. " i really don't trust him enough to give him a fish, but maybe i should huh ? if it dies i mean, that wouldn't be on me right ? "

Catherine Cawood Fluff Alphabet

A = Aroma (What do they smell like?)

Catherine always smells like her favorite tea and also a bit of sandalwood.

B = Babe (What would they use as pet names? Do they use them a lot?)

She’d use the occasional pet name, but she doesn’t get all lovey dovey about them.

C = Cuddles (Do they like to cuddle? How would they cuddle?)

She can enjoy a good cuddle if she has a mind to. She doesn’t always make it a priority, but a good cuddle can definitely make a dent in turning a bad day around for her.

D = Domestic (Do they want to settle down? What would they think about living together?)

Catherine is pretty much settled as it is. If having you move in felt like the natural next step to take, she wouldn’t hesitate, but she wouldn’t like you pushing about it.

E = Emotion (How affectionate are they? How do they show affection?)

She’s affectionate in her own way. She’s a little rough around the edges and isn’t big on an abundance of physical affection, but she does take the time to leave you heartfelt notes to find throughout your day.

F = Flirt (How do they flirt? Are they smooth or awkward?)

Her flirting game isn’t as strong as perhaps it once was, but she can still charm the pants off of you if she puts in the effort.

G = Gifts (Are they a gift giver? What kind of gifts do they give?)

Catherine’s gifts are more necessities. She knows you need something, she surprises you and brings it home.

H = Hugs (Do they like hugs? How often do they do it? What are their hugs like?)

Sometimes, yeah, she does like a good, long hug. And her hugs are amazing. Equal parts soft and strong and they make you feel oh so safe.

I = I Love You (How fast do they say the L-word?)

She’s certainly not going to dive right in to the big declaration of love, but it might come sooner than you think. Once you’ve won her trust, love, at least in some form isn’t far off.

J = Jealousy (How jealous do they get? What do they do when they’re jealous?)

She can get mighty jealous. It’s easy enough for anyone to notice when she is, and she’s not afraid of inserting herself in the middle of things just to assure her territory is not being treaded upon.

K = Kisses (What are their kisses like? Where do they like to kiss you?)

She loves to kiss the top or side of your head as she’s out the door on her way to work. If she doesn’t do that, you know something is wrong. Her kisses in general are very soft, much softer than you’d imagine.

L = Little ones (How are they around children? Would they want some of their own?)

She’s good with kids, but would never consider herself an expert, even after raising her own two and Ryan. She’s pretty much done with that part of her life and wouldn’t necessarily want more.

M = Meet (How did they meet you?)

At the station, while you were waiting for a family member that was brought in. You were worried about them and Catherine sort of helped calm you down.

N = Nurture (Are they good at taking care of you if you’re hurt/sick?)

She’s not always around to play nursemaid, but she’ll see you’re taken care of and call to check in if she can’t stay with you.

O = Out (What’s a typical date night with them like?)

Maybe some dinner or drinks at the pub. Nothing ever really fancy. She doesn’t see the need for all the fuss.

P = Propose (When do you/they propose? How does the proposal go?)

If it’s coming from her, it’ll be over tea where she’ll just ask, casual as ever, if maybe you wanted to marry her. Bonus points if she can make you spit out your tea. If you propose, you’d practically have to beg her to marry you, even though she doesn’t have to make it so difficult for you. She just wants to know how serious you are about it.

Q = Quirk (What small habit/feature/quirk do they have that you find especially endearing?)

You love those moments when she just has no filter. She says whatever she means and it never fails to bring a smile to your face.

R = Routine (What does a typical day together look like? Routines, schedules, habits?)

Mornings are often chaotic. Your try to have breakfast ready when she wakes up, and you both have to get Ryan ready. Evenings are simpler though. Once Ryan is put to bed, you and Catherine are able to wind down together.

S = Security (How protective are they? How would they protect you?)

She’s incredibly protective. She’s not obsessive about it or anything, but she is extra vigilant and won’t shy away from using herself as a shield to protect you.

T = Try (How much effort would they put into dates, anniversaries, etc?)

She never goes overboard with that sort of thing, but there’s always something nice planned, even if it’s as simple as your favorite meal at home in front of the telly.

U = Unique (What’s something they’d only do for you?)

Take a day off. She needs more time off than she ever seems to allow herself and if you asked her real nice (and probably begged a little) she’d take a day off to stay home with you.

V = Vulnerable (How long does it take them to feel comfortable being vulnerable around you?)

It’ll take her a little bit to really open up. That strong persona needs to be diligently chipped away at to get to the heart of her.

W = Wardrobe (What would they wear to impress you?)

Much to Catherine’s delight, she knows you have a thing for her in uniform, so she doesn’t have to try too hard to impress you in that department.

X = Xtra (A random headcanon for them.)

Catherine loves to tease you. She likes to pretend to pick a fight and see if you can catch her on it. That has occasionally backfired and caused a real fight, but it always gets resolved.

Y = You (What are some things they would like in a partner?)

She’d need someone loyal and brave, not someone who is going to shy away from who she is or try and change her.

Z = Zzz (What are their sleep habits?)

She has some restless nights and nights where she sleeps like the dead with hardly any in between. On the nights she’s really out, she can be a snorer, and you’ve invested in some earplugs for that very reason.

LOVE LANGUAGE

ㅡhc on how they show affection

tokyo revengers | haikyuu | jujutsu kaisen

✦ BAJI & SANZU - acts of service

ㅡthe saying "actions speak louder than words" may have taken up a notch by these two. they would do literally anything to show their love (not bc they suck with words, but that could be a possibility too lmao). baji, compared to sanzu, is a bit softer, and by that i mean he is courteous like a gentleman. he opens the door, put his hand over your head when it starts drizzling, reaching high places, tying your laces when he sees it undone, cooking you breakfast in bed, etc. whereas sanzu would go lengths just for you. pick you up from work even if it's hundreds of miles away? sure. climb back to your 6th floor apartment for the wallet you forgot? no problem. punch your asshole-of-a-colleague on his face? he's good at that. these two will show their loyalty and devotion towards the small gestures and favors they do for you. so, better keep an eye on the details.

✦ MITSUYA & DRAKEN - words of affirmation

ㅡmitsuya and draken is the friend and lover 2-in-1 package. when you need someone to support you in times of crisis (mostly mental and emotional crisis) these two will soothe your nerves by their use of words. they have the ability shift your mood positively by the use of reassurance and advices. i'm pretty sure they are not aware of their ability to do so, but their oblivion actually adds to their charm. you just love how they look at you with bewildered faces as they wonder what they have done to cause you to smile from ear to ear. they don't know how much you adore watching and listening to them as they explain their perspective on things. you just love their unique way of thinking.

✦ RINDOU & INUI - physical touch

ㅡgod, these two can't keep their hands to themselves! they love touching, groping, and stroking every part of your body exposed to them. they take advantage of small spaces. they love sitting next to you when you eat out, intertwining hands while walking, when you rake your fingers through their hair as they lay their heads on your lap. they aren't afraid to show their love through intimate touches. hence, these two are probably the best kissers, i mean with the amount of practice they had i wouldn't doubt the premise. just... at night, keep it low for the neighbors.

✦ KOKONOI & HAKKAI - gift giving

ㅡthere are two types of gift givers (based on my expert opinion /sar) one that goes to the mall, picks an item that you like or would best suit you, purchasing it, then having it wrapped in the gifts section. on the other hand, the other type of giver would rather create a gift from scratch. the former is koko and the latter is hakkai. although, there is no "better giver" it's just that the style of giving depends on the person. i hc koko as the type of giver that when he sees an object and instantly reminds you if it, he will purchase it and gives it to you to show that he remembered you. whereas, hakkai, to me, is the type to create something from nothing. he's the type to mess around art materials, crafting a gift while thinking about you.

✦ MIKEY & IZANA - quality time

ㅡthey don't mind killing time looking at a sunsent and sitting next to you, or listen to you talk about a shitty movie you saw the other day, or sit through a rant about your neighbor who refuses to segregate their trash. every second and minute spent with you is precious. they find happiness and comfort in the most mundane moments; as long as the person they are with means so much to them every second is would mean a lot. they probably have one rule when going out tho, they don't want your phones stuck to your face. if they're spending time with you they want your full attention to them because in return they are entirely yours.

missed writing hcs so here ya go. hope ya enjoy it :) also, correct me if i'm wrong cos my memory is a bit hazy. izana has only appeared in the manga and not yet in the anime, right? so if you have not read the manga i suggest you not to search him to avoid spoilers. thanks.

Here’s some fluffy-fluff for you angel:

Roy loves matching pajamas and you have them for every season, summer and fall and winter and holiday specific

Roy genuinely enjoys grocery shopping with you, even though he grumbles when you add a bunch of nonsense to the cart (you always sneak in his favorite junk food and it makes his heart melt a little)

Roy is an expert cuddler, if you have a bad day he’s wrapping you up in his arms and holding you close and playing with your hair and rubbing gently up and down your back. Sometimes though, he prefers being the little spoon and having you wrap yourself around him

Roy’s the best gift giver ever, and he loves buying you little surprises just because but he really goes all out for holidays and birthdays and anniversaries. Like if you point out an expensive sweater? Happy holidays, he just went out and bought it for you. A piece of expensive jewelry you’ve had your eye on for a while? Just one of many anniversary gifts. He remembers all your favorite candies and flavors and drinks and junk foods and will pick something up for you whenever he goes out.

Roy’s super into matching Halloween costumes and he won’t take shit from anybody about it, he loves it and you look super hot and he can’t wait to take you home that’s not fluff tho

That’s just a brief selection of all my fluffy Roy thoughts I hope you enjoy because he’s all I think about ever

Ahhhhh I love these! And I have thoughts!!!!

matching pajamas!! yesss! and at christmas you're sure to buy a set for Phoebe and her mum and you take family pictures by the tree!

he's also the kind of guy to put the groceries away once you get home, probably grumbling something about how you never remember where anything goes, but its really because he likes to let you relax

LITTLE SPOON ROY YES I WANT TO BE LIKE A KOALA WRAPPED AROUND HIM

he's also so nonchalant about it. like when he leaves a little "just because" surprise on the counter for you, he responds to your gushing with a shrug and a "not a big deal" but the blush on his cheeks and smile on his lips tell you he's so happy you like it

Roy would 100% dress as Ken this Halloween if you asked him to (although I think Barbenheimer would be completely up his alley as a couple costume) i will be reflecting on "Roy Kent couple costumes" for the rest of the day now

Thank you lovely! These definitely brought a smile to my face!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

#you're amazing #he's here he's there he's every fucking where #roy kent #asks ❤️

FIC: A Little Salty ch.1 (baon)

Summary: Edge truly believed the meeting was supposed to be the worst part of his day

Tags: Spicyhoney, Established Relationships, Humor, Established Alphys/Undyne

Part of the ‘by any other name’ series.

~~*~~

Read it on AO3

Read it here!

~~*~~

Years of practice made Edge an expert at opening his office door while balancing his laptop bag and travel mug. Janice was already at her desk, typing furiously, a half-empty coffee cup at her elbow. It was to be expected; today was Asgore’s quarterly State of the Embassy meeting and they would all be expected to attend for what was sure to be several hours of a boomingly enthusiastic and uncomfortably familial glut of information that could have been easily sent in an email.

Edge was already prepared with a double espresso added to his daily coffee order. It was one of the few times in his life that he regretted that his biological functions did not include trips to the restroom, and he allowed himself a touch of resentment towards Janice on that account, already knowing she would shamelessly take advantage of her own coffee consumption.

She was already draining her current cup, calling out to him as he walked by, “There’s a package on your desk, it’s already been cleared by security.”

“Thank you,” Edge said and managed not to glare as she poured herself another cup.

As stated, the package was sitting primly on his desk, a small box neatly wrapped in brown paper. The return address was not familiar and despite it being cleared by security, he opened it cautiously. Nestled in a thick layer of bubble wrap was a colorful metal canister and a thick envelope. He opened the envelope first; inside was a lovely handmade card thanking him for helping arrange a recent outing involving the children of New New Home. The assembly at the Ebott Elementary school with a carefully chosen group of Human children had been wildly successful and already the Embassy team handling the assignment was working on another. It was a delicate balancing act between the safety of all the children involved, Monster and Human alike, and the various articles released to the media were almost universally positive.

The gift was unexpected and rather touching, and Edge made a mental note to have Janice send something to the schools from the Embassy. Particularly when he inspected the cannister, whose label declared it to be a gourmet selection of caffeinated salted licorice. Any other candy would likely end up gifted to Janice, but salted licorice was a small weakness of his. The addition of caffeine was nearly scandalous, an indecent temptation, enough that he was more than willing to forgive whoever revealed his secret interests to the giver.

For the moment, he set it aside. Per their agreement with the Human government, all gifts, no matter how small, needed to be declared to prevent any accusations of bribery. Normally he would simply send an email to the HR department, but the meeting was very soon. He'd simply bring it along and show them, and if he took advantage of the extra caffeination, that would be his reward for staying awake as Asgore droned on about the agenda to further the growing bond with their Human neighbors.

It was likely to be his only reward, so he may as well enjoy it.

To his surprise, there was already someone in the meeting room when Edge arrived. Normally, he was the first there, partly to ensure his seat was the best possible, meaning it was near an outlet for his laptop adaptor and partly because the very idea of being late was anathema to him. It wasn’t as if people weren’t perfectly aware of the time the meeting began and had several forms of technology available to remind them. Latecomers were always treated to a hard look and suffered their due punishment of being left with the bran muffins. Early comers get the tastiest treats.

This time, Undyne was already in the seat Edge normally took, her boots propped up on the table as she slouched back in her chair.

“Hey, tough nerd,” she said cheerily.

"Why are you here?" Edge asked her bluntly. He set his laptop at the second-best location next to her, hipchecking her boots to the floor as he went to lay out a selection of pastries for the incoming participants. He did collect a cranberry orange scone for Undyne; as the first to the meeting, she deserved top choice.

She shrugged, accepting the scone reward eagerly and taking a large bite. Around her mouthful she said in a small burst of crumbs. “Meeting, same as you."

"Indeed?” Edge used a napkin to push her crumbs back into her allotted table space. “I ask because I am well familiar with our parental leave policy, as I was the one who approved it. And yet here you are, exactly where you are not supposed to be."

She was laughing before he even finished. “C’mon, a couple hours here and there ain't gonna hurt. You can’t be the only workaholic. Besides, this’ll probably be the best sleep I’ve had in three weeks.”

He had to admit she had a point.

She finished the scone in two more messy bites before pointedly wiping the crumbs into her napkin, then nudged him roughly in the ribs with an elbow. “Wanna see some pics of the little guppy?"

"Of course I do." He accepted her phone, swiping through several photos of a small baby sleeping in a variety of locations; in a crib, in Alphys’s arms, snuggled between them on a sofa. Barely past newborn, he suspected the child’s activity level was somewhere just above that of a sack of flour. He did not ask about the picture of baby nestled into what looked like a roasting pan, that was obviously some parental humor meant for the likes of Sans and Stretch. Pictures duly examined, he handed her phone back, "When is their naming ceremony?"

"Thinking the end of the month.” Undyne flicked through the pictures herself, pausing to chuckle at the roasting pan one and confirming her sense of humor was entirely too similar to those with lower class tastes. “Paps wants to help plan it."

Other people were shuffling in, laptops and large quantities of coffee in hand as they paused to survey the selection of baked goods before taking their seats. Edge watched their choices, noting the popularity of each item. Someday he was going to teach these people an appreciation for bran, but it didn’t seem as if this meeting was going to be his moment. He glanced at Undyne and said with a perfectly straight face, “I’m sure it will be very interesting with Papyrus’s help.”

Undyne snorted laughter. “Yeah, Al already vetoed any balloon sculptures this time.”

Likely wise, considering the monstrous centerpiece at the baby shower. Any further comment was stifled by Asgore entering the room, his bulk filling the doorway as he ducked inside, colorful flyers with the meeting agenda in his hands.

It was only years of practice that allowed Edge to stifle his groan when he saw it. This was going to be a very long day.

It was halfway through the roundtable discussion of whether the Public Relations department’s new quarterly goals met the parameters for the SMART acronym (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound). Janice’s chin was slowly losing its battle against gravity as she jerked upright for a third time and Edge was idly reflecting that making the windows both unbreakable and unopenable on the higher floors was a cruelty disguised as a safety feature. Honestly, it spoke to the unfairness of the universe that teleportation was reserved for the skeletons who least appreciated its usefulness. That was when he remembered the cannister.

Caffeinated. Yes. That would be a gift that far outweighed any he’d given the school. As quietly as possible, he retrieved it from his bag. Undyne was still surprisingly awake, although perhaps that was her becoming accustomed to sleep deprivation, and she noticed the cannister in his hands.

"What is that?" she whispered, below the sonorous drone of Reginald as he went through the list of upcoming press releases.

"A gift." He turned the cannister to show her the label and her face lit up.

"Caffeinated salted licorice?” she hissed, “Hell, yeah, that's singing my song, crack that open, maybe we'll actually be able to stay awake and listen to this bullsh…very informative discussion."

“Good recovery,” Edge murmured and he opened the cannister.

If he’d had even the slightest inkling of what the can actually held, he might have recognized the sound from the beginning. The comical 'sproing' noise could have been pulled directly from one of the cartoons Stretch watched, immediately followed by the propulsion of some form of creature from within the can.

Instinct took over through shock as his state of being went from ‘excruciatingly boring meeting agenda’ to 'fight for your life or die'.

It took less than a split second for him to follow through with the battle protocols his brother had drilled into him since childhood; identify the menacing intruders, isolate them, and deal with them, with extreme prejudice. In quick succession all three were pinned to the wall, a jagged bone construct protruding from each, thrust deep within their fabric and spring innards.

His soul burned hotly in his chest as he panted, dropping to a crouch as he braced for a further assault. All too quickly his vision cleared enough for him to take in his attackers.

…oh.

Hanging limply from the wall was a handful of mangled toy snakes, all of them a cheerful, telling orange felt. Or were, before they’d been mostly shredded by his attack.

Sweat was stinging in his eye sockets as he slowly stood. The fierce pulse of his soul slowed, cooling to the numbness of ice as he turned to look at the table and the people sitting at it, all of whom were watching him silently, their eyes enormous. For the first time in his memory, Edge couldn't think of a single thing to say at a meeting.

It was Asgore who moved first, not to speak but to hesitantly clap, then with more enthusiasm as he called, "Excellent aim!"

The rest of the table slowly joined into somewhat dumbstruck applause, Undyne at his side hooting her approval, and Edge closed his eyes and took a slow, deep breath as he forcibly tamped down the urge to murder his husband.

No, there would be no homicide today. Guilt was a far more effective punishment.

outline ; “Hi! How are you? Hope you're doing well! Wanted to ask some cute fluffy relationship headcanons for Milk cookie and his s/o!

Keep on the good work!!”

warning(s) ; none, just fluff!

calls you a bunch of cute nicknames like ‘darling’, ‘honey’, ‘sweetheart’ and ‘angel’

his preferred cuddling position is to have you curled up on his chest so that he can hold you close and give plenty of kisses to the top of your head

he’s an amazing listener and is an expert at giving solutions and workarounds to the situations that are bothering you or making you anxious for one reason or another

remembers all of your favourite things which makes him an expert gift giver — he also remembers every important date (the day you met, first date, when you made it official, and so on)

very big on casual affection and will happily carry you around, hold your hands, peck your cheek or rest his head atop yours as you go about your daily life

incredibly cook and loves treating you to breakfast in bed whenever he’s home

whenever you’re sick he basically turns into a mother hen and keeps track of all your symptoms and makes sure that you’re taken care of

is your biggest cheerleader when it comes to your hobbies and interests, always checking up on them and doing some light research of his own so that he can engage you about them

made a recipe book of your favourite meals and treats so that he always has something up his sleeve to keep your spirits high

if you have issues with mobility in one way or another then he’s constantly scoping out new locations (such as restaurants) for future dates that are accessible for you — carrying a little notebook with him when he’s out (which purple yam finds quite inconveniencing as they end up stopping every few minutes so he can write down something or another — but he’s understanding enough and doesn’t complain too much)

*skids into your space, riding a cool pastel turbo sled*

Heloo hii!! this is your gift giver for dcmk-exchange! *bangs pots and pans*

I'm looking forward to work on your utterly cool, badass gift for this year! hope you also have fun with this event too~~ speaking of gifts, I read that you wanted something with Kaito being badass! YOU'VE PIQUED MY INTEREST!! It'd be great if you can tell me more about it and share your ideas!

Wow, nice sled! We've had nothing but rain here all week - I should look into getting one of those for myself. :P

Very nice to meet you gift-giver! Thank you for joining in this challenge; I'm very excited to get to chat with you over the next few weeks.

One of the things I love about DCMK is that everyone's so damn competent with the possible exception of Yamamura-keibu from Gunma. I have such a fondness for capable and competent characters, and that's DetCo's whole shtick, basically, so my competency kink is usually very well fed.

Kaito/KID is my favourite character, and he has a whole raft of ridiculously OP skills that I love to see played with. Magician, acrobat, infiltration expert, actor, marksman, master of disguise, the list goes on. IMO, his more recent heists in canon have not given him as much opportunity to show off as they used to - as the stakes up and the challenges that Jirokichi sets get increasingly ridiculous, it inevitably limits KID's ability to show off what a badass he is - so I am finding that I miss the thrill of earlier heists like the Miraculous Midair Walk or KID's Teleportation Magic (I do have great hopes for next year's movie though - fingers crossed!). Hence my request for some badass Kaito.

I also find that badass characters are the most thrilling when they are met with equal opposition: Kaito needs to be a badass because Shinichi/Conan is ALSO a badass, so Kaito wouldn't stand a chance if he couldn't keep up. Mostly, I just like that all of these characters are forces to be reckoned with, so I'm always happy when they get a chance to prove it. :)

Aaand I could keep talking about this for ages if I let myself, so I think I'll stop here. ^_^; Nice to babble at talk to you, gift-giver! Best wishes for a Happy New Year if I don't hear from you before then. :D

#it's loving kaito hours #kaitou kid my beloved #dcmk #clef babbles #gift exchange #anon ask

A Generous Heart and a Giving Friend

pairing: anne shirley cuthbert x gilbert blythe word count: 2957 words request: yes/no prompt/summary: Anne was a gift-giving queen, so why was she struggling so much when she pulled out Gilbert's name from the Secret Santa hat? She needed to make sure that whatever she gave him beat the dictionary she was gifted a few Christmases ago. Because Anne Shirley-Cuthbert refuses to be beaten by Gilbert Blythe. That was the only reason she cared about getting the perfect present. Right? a/n: more anne and gilbert fluff for you all

“Alright, class. I’ll be passing this hat around. Make sure you pick out one name and one name only. Don’t tell anyone else who you have, and you just need to buy a single present for that person and wrap it up. You have a week to bring it back to class and make sure the present has the receiver’s name on it.” Miss Stacey handed a hat to the front row and small pieces of paper with names began to be drawn.

“A secret Santa. Doesn’t it sound absolutely magical, Diana! Oh, I do hope that I get you!” Anne was practically bouncing in her seat.

The secret Santa was a welcome distraction from all of the Queens’ lessons that most of the class were taking. Something more festive for them all to focus on and Anne was definitely happy to welcome that distraction.

When the hat came to the two girls, Anne immediately handed it to Diana. “You can go first!”

Diana grinned at her friend before sticking her hand in the hat, “I hope I get you too, Anne! I wouldn’t even know what to get the likes of Josie Pye.” She whispered the last part and the two of them giggled.

After Diana had plucked out a piece of paper, Anne dove her hand in to pick out her own. She didn’t wait before opening up the folded piece and seeing the name sprawled across it.

Gilbert Blythe.

Her mouth dropped open as she saw the name. Out of everyone she could give a gift to… Gilbert Blythe. What was Anne meant to do with that? Of course, he was the better option compared to the likes of Josie Pye and Billy Andrews but still. She would much rather find a gift for Diana or Ruby, even Moody.

“Anne?” Diana tapped her shoulder, “Who did you get?”

Anne tried to stop her cheeks from burning. She didn’t know why she was embarrassed, it’s not as though she could control who’s name she was going to pick out. “Oh-uh, well we’re not allowed to say so- “

Thankfully Miss Stacey saved her as the hat ended up being passed back to the front of class. Anne scrunched up the piece of paper in her hand but that didn’t stop her from thinking about the new problem that has presented itself in her life. What in the world was she meant gift Gilbert Blythe?

----- ----- ----- -----

The next two days Anne had spent with that same question in the back of her mind. She considered herself quite the expert when it came to giving gifts. She’d never struggled in finding something for Marilia, Matthew, Diana or any of her other friends. Even Jerry had been easy to gift for this Christmas, she’d been embroidering some handkerchiefs for him so he could use them whilst he was at work.

Sighing, she grabbed the basket of plum puffs that Marilla had baked and started to make her way towards Gilbert’s house. Anne had instructions to drop these off without a detour, it was far too cold for her to go wandering and Marilla would not be sending out a search party for her if she wasn’t home by dinner.

Maybe she could try and coax an idea out of Gilbert. She would need to try and be subtle which even Anne had to admit wasn’t always her strong suit. But maybe she could get some kind of idea out of him. She would not allow him to be the better gift giver out of the two of them. She’d loved the dictionary he’d given her last year. Every time she saw it in her room it made her smile as she thought about that moment. But Anne also knew that Gilbert had put a lot of thought into the gift. It had shown that he knew her well, knew the type of things she would like. And that was all well and good and she was grateful for the gift but this was a chance for her to prove that she was the better gift giver. That she knew him just as well as he knew her.

They’d grown closer over the past few months and Anne would’ve like to think that she’d gotten to know a lot more about him. But this was her chance to really show that she did know him. To show that they really did have a friendship. She couldn’t pinpoint why she cared so much. They weren’t friends like her and Diana were. Not bosom friends that would tell each other everything. But Gilbert understood her in a way that no one else seemed to. He would tease her, wind her up and challenge her and as much as Anne pretended that she hated it, she loved every moment.

Before she knew it, Anne was at the Blythe/Lacroix house and knocking on the door. It swung open to show Bash and Anne couldn’t help but feel a little disappointed. She had been hoping Gilbert would be there so she could talk to him. Anne didn’t particularly want to ask Bash where he was, but she also knew that she needed to try and figure out her gift soon because there were only five days left.

“Queen Anne, to what do I owe this pleasure?”

Anne grinned at him before holding up the basket of plum puffs, “Marilla sent me with a delivery. Some of her plum puffs for you all.”

“Ah, she spoils us but who am I to complain? Please come in, you’re going to freeze out there.”

“Oh I really shouldn’t,” Anne began to argue. “Marilla said I need to be home before dinner.”

Bash tutted and shook his head, ushering her in. “I promise I won’t keep you too long but really, I’m sure Dele would love to see her Auntie Anne.”

There was no way that Anne could say no to baby Delphine, so Anne ended up stepping foot into the considerably warmer home. Mary and Delphine were sat at the table, the little one being bounced up and down on her mum’s lap.

“Anne! It’s so good to see you!”

As they exchanged pleasantries, Anne placed a kiss on Delphine’s cheek and sat down opposite Mary. She did a quick glance around and couldn’t see or hear Gilbert. Anne tried to push down the feeling of disappointment, trying to convince herself that she the only reason for her feelings was because she still didn’t have a clue about his gift.

“Is everything okay, Anne?” Mary asked, slightly concerned that the redhaired girl wasn’t being as chatty as usual.

“Hm?” Anne’s head snapped back to looking at the couple in front of her. “Oh, I, uh, was actually hoping that the two of you might be able to help me with something.”

“Of course, we’ll do whatever we can. What do you need help with?”

Anne tried to let Mary’s soothing tone calm her nerves. This was just for school anyway. That was the only reason she was getting Gilbert a present.

“So, school’s doing this thing called a Secret Santa…”

“Ah yes! Blythe mentioned something about that,” Bash interrupted but quickly shut up as Mary glared at him.

“Right, and we had to pick random names out of a hat. And, well, I picked out Gilbert’s name,” Anne tried to ignore the smirk on Bash’s face. “I wasn’t really sure what to give him and I didn’t know if you both had any ideas?”

Mary thought for a moment, “Honestly, I think you’re best to ask Bash about this, he’s known Gilbert a lot longer than I have and probably knows him better than I do. I’m just going to pop this little one down for a nap and let the two of you talk.” She pushed her chair back, holding dozing Dele in her arms and left the room.

“So, you’re looking for a present to impress Blythe, Queen Anne?” He arched an eyebrow, smirk still etched upon his face.

Anne spluttered as she tried to get her words out, “I’m not trying to impress him!” She quickly said when she had managed to string a sentence together. “It’s just I wanted to make sure I was going to give him something that he would actually like, and he wouldn’t even know it was from me anyway.”

Now, that just wouldn’t do. Bash knew that his moke of a friend was in love with Anne ever since he had mentioned the fiery redhead on the ship. After meeting Anne, Bash was pretty sure that she felt the same way but both were too blind and stubborn to admit their feelings or see beyond their noses. No, he needed to come up with an idea that would lead Gilbert to thinking that Anne was the only person who could have given him something like that and he had the perfect idea.

“Didn’t you say that Matthew was starting to clean up some old, empty frames that he’d found in Green Gables?”

Anne nodded, slightly confused about where this conversation was going. “Yes, he’s loving it so far. I guess it’s something that isn’t farm work for him to focus on.”

“Perfect, just give me a second.” Bash started to rummage through some drawers before finally finding what he was looking for between pages of a book. “Aha!”

He sat back down, grinning at Anne. “There were some portraits taken of Gilbert’s father and mother. He showed me them when we first got here.” Bash carefully placed the black and white portraits on the table, facing them towards Anne. “I’ve told him to keep them out, they’re as much a part of this family as anyone living under this roof but he said that he doesn’t want them to get damaged since they aren’t framed. Maybe you can see if Matthew has two frames that might fit them.”

“Oh,” Anne’s eyes glistened with tears and she gently picked up both portraits. She could see features of both his mother and father in Gilbert. “I… if he opens them in school, I don’t want him to be upset.”

“Maybe write note for him, tell him not to open it until he’s out of school or something like that. I’m sure you can come up with something.”

Anne bit her lip thinking before slowly nodding and grinning at Bash. “This is perfect, thank you so much, Bash!” She moved her seat and around the table, giving him a hug.

“Glad to be of service! Here, put them in the book so you can take them home. I’m sure, Blythe isn’t going to miss them for a couple of days.”

It wasn’t long after that Anne ended up leaving, still not seeing Gilbert. Now that she knew what to give him, she didn’t really need to see him, but she still felt disappointed. There was no way she could stick around and wait for him. One, she knew that Bash and Mary would probably find it od if she did and two, Marilla would most definitely kill her for being late.

----- ----- ----- ----- -----

The next few days had left Anne eagerly anticipating the day where they would finally be bringing in their Secret Santa gifts to school. Matthew had been extremely helpful and found two matching frames that perfectly fitted the Blythe portraits. He’d cleaned and tidied the frames up and even let Anne help, which wasn’t something she was usually allowed to do. After helping her carefully put the portraits into the frame, Anne had wrapped them up together, tying the package with some string. She made sure that Gilbert’s name was easy to read before attaching a small note to the package, telling him to open it when he was on his own.

As she entered the school on the Secret Santa deadline, Anne started to feel a little nervous. She placed her present in the sack at the front of, Miss Stacey would place them all under the tree when everyone got in. Anne began to worry about whether Gilbert would appreciate the present or whether it would just cause him more pain. It was too late now though, more people had begun to enter the classroom and deposit their presents and there was no reversing what she had done. All Anne could do was hope that Gilbert would appreciate the present.

Just before lunch, Miss Stacey had invited the class to go to the tree and find the present with their names on it. There was a mad scramble as everyone rushed up, nearly knocking the tree over. Anne hung back a little, her nerves having not gone away from earlier in the morning.

“What’s wrong, Anne? Worried that no one bothered to get you anything?” Josie sneered as she turned back after collecting her present.

“I’m surprised to see that you were so desperate to get yours, Josie, seeing as your parents seem to get you everything you want. Some people just have a little more decorum about them.” Diana’s voice came from behind Anne as she linked arms with her bosom friend.

Everyone had decided to open their presents during lunch. Giving them more time to question who had gotten who. Anne had craned her neck trying to find where Gilbert was as she sat in a circle with the girls, but she wasn’t able to find him.

“Anne, aren’t you going to open your present?” Diana asked, tapping her on the arm.

She pulled her attention away for the time being, focusing on her friends and the wrapped present in front of her. Anne didn’t need to have three guesses to figure out who’d gifted her the three floral hair clips. She threw her arms around Diana with the biggest grin.

“I don’t think I’m ever going to do them justice, Diana. These deserve much better than my awful red hair.”

“Don’t be silly, Anne. Their beauty is only going to enhance when you wear them, I’m sure of it.”

When lunch was over, Anne kept one eye out for Gilbert entering the classroom from her seat. When he did eventually walk in, Anne couldn’t see any difference in him. He didn’t seem upset or overly happy. Just usual Gilbert and Anne wasn’t quite sure if that was a good thing or not. She’d noticed throughout their afternoon classes though that he was noticeably quieter and that did make Anne worry.

She didn’t see him when she grabbed her things before leaving either and she’d looked around for him a little while. It felt like a stone had settled in the bottom of her stomach.

He must have hated it. Or it brought up too many sad memories and he wished he hadn’t seen them. Or he thinks whoever gifted them to him is some creepy stalker who managed to break into his house and steal the portraits.

Anne had started to mutter through all the different things she thought Gilbert had running through his mind as she made her way home. She was so lost in her own thought that she hadn’t heard her name being called.

“Anne!” Gilbert jogged to catch up with her and smiled as she jumped a little. “I was calling you for a little while, is everything okay?”

“Oh, I’m sorry. I just got lost in my thoughts, Marilla is always yelling at me about it. Are you okay?” She asked him tentatively.

“Yeah, everything’s good, I just wanted to say thank you.”

“For?” Anne asked, furrowing her brow.

“The present for Secret Santa.”

Anne’s mouth dropped open, “H-How did you know…?”

Gilbert grinned at her, “I could tell that it was your handwriting, Anne. I don’t think there’s anyone in this class that has better penmanship. But really thank you so much for the present, it means a lot.”

Anne stopped and looked up at him. “Did you really like them? I didn’t want to bring up any bad memories, but it might be nice for you to be able to have them up somewhere in the house or in your room, maybe? And because they’re framed you don’t need to worry about them being damaged.” She began to babble, unable to stop herself.

“Anne, really,” Gilbert placed a hand on her arm, giving it a gentle squeeze. “It really is the perfect gift and I’m so glad that you were the one to give it to me.”

The stone that Anne had felt in her stomach felt like it had turn to butterflies. The place Gilbert had placed his hand felt like it was buzzing, and she couldn’t make it stop. All she was able to do for a second was just smile up at him.

“Would you mind if I walk you home?” Gilbert asked a little bashfully. He didn’t want to ruin this moment between them, but he also didn’t want to end the time that he had with her.

Anne bit her lip for a second, contemplating his offer. If Ruby or Josie ever found out, then she would never hear the end of it. That used to be a big enough deterrent for her but lately, she found that not even that was enough to pull her away from Gilbert.

“Yeah, I’d like that.” And that was the first time that Anne was able to be fully honest about any semblance of feelings she had for Gilbert Blythe.

And as they walked to Green Gables, their hands more than accidentally brushing each other’s, Gilbert thought that maybe this red headed girl, who had given him the best Christmas present, might just give him a chance. Someday.
