"Petals of love" - Blade as your boyfriend Part 2
Blade x malereader, fluff, soulmate au; requested, Part 1; sorry for the wait but med uni is terrifying sometimes. and thanksss again, that made my day. Hopes its acceptable
Mornings:
In normal work days, when you don't have time to fool around in the shine of a rising sun, you both wake up pretty early.
Blade is an early bird which unfortunately affects you too. He involuntary gets up around 5/6 a.m.
And compared to you, he looks brand-new.
But even when you are sleepy, can hardly open your eyes and all you dream about is to just cuddle into your boyfriend's warm body for a few more hours, Blade shows no mercy.
With a swift motion he gets up from your bed, puts on a nearby shirt, which was hanging on a chair just a minute ago and in a firm voice announces you that it's time to wake up.
Maybe the reason why Blade is so strict is because he's afraid that he'll actually succumb to you and won't get out of your grasp till noon.
And he has a goal. A clearly stated goal. To work hard and successfully complete missions. As many as possible.
And to achieve this, you both need to put yourself together. The earlier the better.
Before just leaving the room, he sticks his finger between your ribs and tells you to not delay.
Still, Blade realizes that your habits are quite different from his. And although he pretends to be demanding, he secretly gives you some blissful extra minutes of sleep. Going to the shared kitchen firstly and leaving you alone.
While you are enjoying your last moments in a soft bed he is already preparing your morning coffee. Black. Strong. This kind that a true warrior should drink. Blade wouldn't allow you to show any weakness.
Or at least that's an official version. When Kafka and Silver aren't looking, he secretly adds a little milk or a pinch of sugar. If that's your preferred version, of course.
When you finally manage to join him, he is already waiting for you with a mug of steaming from heat drink.
By rubbing your eyes you try to fight off last signs of sleepiness.
Thanking, with one hand you receive a gift and with other you grab Blade by waist.
He involuntarily turns his cheek towards you. In order for you to lean over his smaller form and kiss him for a greeting as usual.
Later, when Blade is satisfied, you just lean against the stone countertop.
Your lack of shirt and low-rise sweatpants allow its cold to scratch your back unpleasantly.
You ignore it, however, and ask what your boyfriend is in the mood for.
In this relationship, you are the one responsible for rational eating. If it weren't for you, your "silly" boyfriend would have set off to fight monsters without a breakfast.
And it is obviously impossible to conquer world on an empty stomach.
When he is/you are sick
In this relationship, it is mainly you who take care of his health and try to introduce his life to healthy habits.
Blade is a big and smart boy. He knows that he has to take care of himself if he wants to perform well. But unfortunately, he often forgets that. Or sometimes, worse. He thinks that he deserves a little more pain and suffering.
Hearing this makes you want to punch him for the mere thought of such a thing, and everyone else who in the past led to his present state.
However, you know that currently you can't do anything about it. So you act here and now, by looking after his health and well-being for him.
When he is sick, you literally have to keep him in bed by force. So he doesn't run off to train. And even though he is wrecked by fever, Blade in his “weakened” state is still very strong. After giving him pills and plenty of water, you end up locking him in a tight hug.
Then you sleep for hours. Cuddled together in a bed. Blade is covered with extra thick layers of fluffy duvet to warm up his body.
You stay awake the whole time, never letting him out of your sight. And every now and then you sooth his burning forehead with kisses.
Meanwhile, when you get sick… Blade becomes oddly protective and possessive. He doesn't let anyone into your bedroom. Only he can take care of you, and only he knows how to do it. He prepares cold bandages for you. And what's even more shocking, cooks a ramen. You wouldn't suspect him of having a great culinary talent. But you've never eaten anything better in your life. Maybe because you know it was made by your lover. Or maybe it's because Blade really put an effort into preparing it.
If that weren't enough, Blade demands for you to sit still while he feeds you with his soup. Cooling each spoon beforehand.
What he does for you/Massages
During training, Blade doesn't give you a break. So he can understand when you're tired and everything hurts you afterwards.
He is already used to them, he even likes it at some point. By them he feels alive.
You, however, are something else. He knows it.
Blade has only you. You are the only one that really matters to him. So he has to take care of you.
It is for these reasons why after every difficult training or mission, Blade offers you a massage. Whether it's your back, shoulders or ankles. He always does it in silence and great concentration, with hidden love and great care.
To do this, he uses his own handmade oil. Made from rose petals.
He dips his soft, bony hands into an oily liquid and kneads your sore body in a slow, steady motion. Towards the end, he gently brushes and strokes your skin to prolong your pleasure. Silently thanking himself for protecting his hands under bandages and gloves every day. Thanks to that, despite his constant weapon gripping, his fingertips aren't rough.
When he wears your clothes
Apparently, this is something that couples do. It is also said that your partner looks adorable in your clothes, especially when they are too loose for him. When your shirt reaches halfway down his thighs, almost resembling a dress.
Blade doesn't understand this idea. It's weird, strange.
What's more, Blade doesn't feel the need to “steal” your clothes because he just doesn't like your style. Not that he doesn't find it good-looking. Indeed, you look attractive in things you wear. (from an objective point of view, of course. Blade would never get fooled by your handsome face)
Despite this, however, Blade is a very simple man. That's why, when his part of closet is in a laundry, he suddenly needs to throw something on himself and in his reach he has only your dark sweatshirt or blood maroon shirt, he doesn't think twice.
Second option greatly highlights his good features and depth of eyes. It's really hard for you keep still.
If we are already on subject of clothes... Quick mention about matching clothes. You know Blade enough to know that there is nothing more stupid than suggesting this idea to him. You prefer to keep remnants of dignity in his eyes. You're also no longer a teenager to get excited by such things. But this cultural tradition in some parts of world captivates you. And you want to mark your possessiveness a bit. That's why you've changed the color theme of your closet to match your other half. Dark, black colors with ruby and emerald accents.
Blade never pays attention to this. But Kafka, seeing this, smiles softly to herself.
How he calls you/nicknames
It's probably obvious that Blade wouldn't use any adorable nicknames in a relationship.
The only thing that you can hope for is your name and in the future... maybe a straight "fiance" or "husband".
You can use whatever you simply prefer at a time. As long as it's not "too cute". For "honey bun" and names like that you could expect a dagger in your guts.
You often use a classic "babe" "love" orrr... "hubby".
Holidays and valentine
Blade isn't a person who would celebrate any holidays, especially commercial ones. Sure, he may show respect to deceased ancestors or something like that. But he's not going to decorate a Christmas tree with you, start baking gingerbread houses, light lanterns, or give you any gifts related to valentines day. He's just not the type. Besides, Blade has no time for that.
You respect that. But on such days, you still give him some small gift straight from a heart.
When he has a nightmare
Unfortunately, this happens pretty often. Blade can't get any sleep at night. He regularly gets up even before sunrise, and goes to bed around midnight, if not later. You tried to change that, but no matter what you did it was completely pointless.
Even when you went to bed earlier together, Blade couldn't fall asleep. Despite your "magical" embrace, nothing helped at those moments.
Maybe it was the darkness. Thought about what lurks in the shadows. Past and future. All of Blade's victims. These whose lives he took. And these who were preparing a revenge.
Threat not only to him alone, but to you as well.
Memories wouldn't let him shut his eyes. And even when he finally did manage to fall asleep, he would wake up screaming during the night.
Blade would rise rapidly to a sitting position. And worried you, did exactly the same.
He was breathing heavily. His forehead was covered in sweat. He stared dully at the wall in front of him. As if seeing something in it that you couldn't.
His suffering was killing you. But all you could do at such moments was whisper to him quietly, "Everything will be fine. I'm here. You are not alone. I will never leave you. You are safe with me" and make a slow circles on his back, waiting until his breathing would normalize.
Such situations happened quite often. Especially at the beginning of your relationship. Over time, however, they were less and less frequent.
Presence of a soulmate nearby, healed Blade's wounds slowly.
When you ignore him
Don't. Even. Think. About it. That would make him feel so uneasy. He would start doubting himself. And the idea of him being not enough for you could break him.
You know in fact how fragile his ego is. So even in the hardest moments, when you're fed up or tired, you remember to give him at least a little attention.
His way of being clingy
This definitely doesn't happen often. Especially in Blade's case. But there are times when he seeks your attention. He misses the warmth of another person. Especially after being left thirsty for many years. And soulmate bond also does its job.
At such moments Blade doesn't leave your side. When you get up from a couch he gets up with you. When you go to the kitchen he goes with you. You don't even have a second for yourself. He is like a shadow. He is able to follow you even to the bathroom. It's a good thing that after a years of relationship, a shower in his company is no more a problem for you.
Blade doesn't say anything, doesn't touch you and doesn't take the lead.
He just takes a seat next to you and waits for you to finally figure it out. Embrace him or put a hand on his thigh. Only then does he feel satisfied and stops " following" you.
In heath of a fight
This was one of those missions when Blade just had to do everything on his own way.
He made plan in his head and just had to fulfil it.
Of course, without consulting you beforehand, or even notifying.
Seeing a threat surrounding Blade from all sides, you were beyond panicked. You started screaming. That he should stop. That he should look out.
You even begged for a signal to retreat.
However, Blade in heat of a battle turned completely deaf to this. Only when he felt a piercing pain in his chest only then he stopped.
He came to his senses. Pushed back opponents that were rushing at him and hurriedly looked at his body. Aside from a blood of his enemies and standard "minor" injuries, he saw nothing suspicious there. At least not a huge hole in his heart which he had just felt.
Urged by a sudden realization, he looked around. And to his horror, he saw something that he definitely didn't want to see. You, protecting his back.
But you were supposed to stay behind. And not take part in it. That precisely how his plan sounded. That way he wouldn't have to constantly look for you and control safety of his other half. By that, he could completely lose himself into a fight and use his 100%. Spreading a total destruction.
However, it didn't occur to him that such turn of events would put him in a great danger.
As it was proven by your arm, pierced straight through.
It was only by this sight that the seriousness of your situation hit him. And he immediately took you out from that massacre you both were in.
You found shelter in some warehouse. Somewhere behind a pile of boxes.
You were sitting on the ground, resting your head heavily against a cold concrete wall. While Blade was between your legs, hugging you tightly. Or rather, you were the one squeezing him with all your strength. Making sure he was all right.
Blade didn't realize it, but if it hadn't been for you, just a few minutes ago, he would now be lying on a battlefield having wounds on all sides. You really had to work hard to prevent anything more serious from happening to him. Your hot-headed boy, definitely miscalculated the backup that came to support your enemies.
You didn't say anything. You didn't even have a strength to argue with him or point out stupidity of his plan. It was pointless. Anyway, you were just happy that he was right there with you. Safe.
You couldn't stop thinking, however, about this possibility that something bad could happen to him. That if you had reacted even a few seconds later. That if it hadn't been for your arm. Blade might have just had his lungs stabbed through… That drove you to pure convulsions.
-Can you… stop? - Blade asked somewhat unsurely but still in scolding voice.
And you turned your gaze to him, filled with confusion.
-I can feel your stress in my chest an it's… not comfotable at all - this time he said that far more confident and sharp.
You, after a moment of realization, laughed lightly. You forgot that some strong emotions can really effect your soulmate.
-I'm right there with you and I'm perfectly fine so stop worrying about me. Better worry about yourself. You are the one with a big hole here.
-I'm sorry love, I'm just really glad that you are safe - you said kissing him on a forehead.
He only blushed slightly and snuggled more into a crook of your neck.
He truly felt safe.

The way you wrote blade is ABSOLUTELY closest to the canon ive ever seen omg I loved the soulmate au, can you make some more ?
First of all that's sooo sweet ❤️ I'm happy that u liked it and I'm truly honored 🩷
I wrote this completely on spontan (and If we are talking about his character I took a lot out of my first impression. Because after I hadn't gotten Blade on his first banner I had taken a bit of a break from hsr... = which unfortunately means: not much of quests analysis for me) You've set the bar high for me now and I don't know if I'll be able to match the first post. But I'll be happy to try and write something more for u. It will take some time because I'm going to have 2 hard weeks at uni now but I hope that when I write it you won't be too disappointed ❤️

"Too grumpy to handle" - How your relathioship with Gallagher began
Tumblr media
"Too grumpy to handle" - How your relathioship with Gallagher began
malereader x older!Gallagher, fluff; warning! doing 18+/21+ acts hinted;
It's obvious that when you saw such a handsome man sitting alone at the bar, you just had to join him. You weren't saint. His look itself made you want to persue him. Seeing that pile of muscles peeking through unbuttoned shirt- his masculine, slightly bearded face- and what's more- this gentle eyes-... You felt something deep inside.
You, casualy took a seat next to the man. And he only threw you a quick glance.
Nevertheless, you didn't retreat from battlefield so easily. As every "typical player", you ordered two whiskeys with Cokes. For yourself and for him.
Old roadside bar was practically empty. Warm candlelight gently smoldered in a wooden room. No one was paying attention to you. Even bartender stayed back in his break room and left it only from time to time to serve some orders.
Gallagher accepted your drink without a word. Since he was already sitting there anyway, he could listen to you. Especially for free whiskey.
Besides, as you found out later, he was used to it. As a mixologist, he had listened to more than one drunk person in his life. And he often enjoyed taking their places. Especially after having a hard time in work.
It was one of those days when everything accumulated and he just had enough. Today's stowaway chase… Completely drained him out. Everyone demanded something from him. Superiors wanted him to solve cases as quickly as possible, without complaining. Subordinates hoped to find in him a support, role model and even better, someone who would do everything for them. Family waited for promotions and an ideal son who should have started his own household a long time ago and give them grandchildren.
That's why it's no wonder that all he wanted to do at that moment, was to give himself to you. Sink into your embrace. You were so warm, so affectionate-
This vibe of responsibility, masculinity, security, all the way urged him to let you take control.
Trying to act casual, he allowed you to lead the way, with intertwined hands. Up the shadowed stairs, to one of a rooms for rent. This for worn-out wanderers.
He wasn't sure why it happened. Such situations weren't common for him. Or at least never in such position. Everyone, seeing him, felt intimidated and took for granted his willingness to lead. And he just didn't protest. Just like now. He was so unbothered. When you sobered up, you even had some moral doubt. If for sure, you hadn't taken advantage of his weakness. He assured you, however, that if he really didn't feel like it, he would have kicked you in balls, handcuffed, arrested and lead you to the nearest police station.
Apparently this had happened to him more than once. Hearing that, a sudden shiver of terror went through you. You were so close to suffering a drastic consequences.
When it was all over, and you regained your strength, you turned your attention back to Gallagher.
He was sitting with his legs straight, leaning against the headboard of large bed. His lower body was covered by a white, soft duvet. You, on the other hand, were lying sideways, on a bent arm, almost snuggled into a cozy pillow.
You couldn't take your eyes off Gallagher. Glow of street lamps, crept into the bedroom through half-exposed window and tickled his slowly cooling body.
Gallagher carefully lit a cigarette, with a lighter he had earlier fished out of his pants, that had been tossed onto a floor. Orange, playful flame let you see his face in new colors.
He fixed strands of hair that were sticky from sweat and hid them behind his ear. Allowing you by that to get a closer look at his other features.
With each passing second, you began to like him more and more.
He threw a closed lighter to the edge of a bed and took a decent drag of nicotine.
At the same time, Gallagher stared at the wall in front of him. He was was thinking hard about something. Instead of paying attention to your presence.
When he let out a puff of smoke something tickled your nostrils.
He didn't even offer you a cigarette.
Perhaps you didn't look like a person who smoked too often. Or maybe your needs didn't really matter to him.
You weren't taken aback. You raised your free hand and gently began to draw a small circles on his firm chest. While doing so, you asked how was he feeling. If he was all right, if he wasn't in pain. Gallagher only hummed to you reassuringly, while still staring blankly into a space.
After a minute, however, perhaps pushed by your sudden affection, which he didn't expect, he stubbed his cigarette. Crushed it against a glass bottom of an ashtray and turned suddenly toward you. Like a large but harmless bear, he snuggled into your embrace. Surprising you quite a bit in the process. He hid his head in crook of your neck and decided to take advantage of his last moments with you.
After all, they were so nice. It was the first time in so long when he could really relax and feel so comfortable and safe. No one judged him.
Gallagher couldn't expect that you took him seriously and that you didn't plan to just leave him. Especially since you felt something more for him after that night.
You have permanently added yourself into his schedule. You visited him during work, brought food, and chatted. Gallagher wasn't very talkative, but your funny stories or anecdotes were able to provide him with an entertainment. He wouldn't admit it, but every workday, he looked forward to the hour when you would finally visit him. Most often it happened at a lunchtime. Sometimes completely out of the blue. And when you decided to come at the end of his shift Gallagher began to grind his teeth. Apparently, he was becoming even more grumpy than usual, and his co-workers couldn't stand his gloomy mood.
By the way, Gallagher liked to complain about them. This provided him with a great pleasure. An opportunity to speak out. Especially when his subordinates, as usual, did something wrong. Sure, they were young and inexperienced, but had they really not been taught anything at school?
You were the only way to soothe his nerver, other than a bottle of whiskey.
Gallagher, however, couldn't allow himself to think about anything else. You were too young for him.
Of course, you were already an adult, you had a job, your own apartment. You were also responsible and had enough experience in life to not treat it like a game. And your age difference at this phase wasn't really a problem anymore, since neither of you had been teenagers for a long time.
But Gallagher insisted that you deserved someone better, younger. With whom you could still enjoy and experience a lot. Go through stages that Gallagher had long since passed.
You repeatedly tried to knock this silly thinking out of his head. You assured him that all this didn't matter to you, as long as you could be with him. That he is the perfect one for you, exactly the way he is. That you are not looking for anyone younger, because no one will provide what he does. And that he is the one with whom you want to experience all these beautiful moments together.
When Gallagher understood that you weren't planning to surrender, he gave up. He hoped that maybe after some time you would get bored. Especially, after living together. He thought that after experiencing his "non-ideal" form in a daily domestic routine, you will decide to look for someone else. Oh, how wrong he was.
Now? Now you are a happy couple and make an almost perfect match. At least that's what your friends say. Sure, you have small quarrels occasionally. About his not closed shoe polish or your coffee grounds left in a cup. But despite this, nothing gives you as much pleasure as spending time together, in your four walls.
… Only sometimes you're maybe a little too jealous. About how many buttons Gallagher wears undone and how loosely his tie is. But at such moments, man assures you that he is only yours and lets you snuggle into his chest. In the afternoons, when he comes home and you have a sulky face and don't greet him with usual "welcome home".
Over the next few days, he obeys your suggestions and buttons up to almost every last thing. Besides, he has no other choice. You mark him too much at such occasions. And Gallagher doesn't really want his co-workers to see your bites and tease him about that.

"Slow Burn" - Blade as your boyfriend
Tumblr media
"Slow Burn" - Blade as your boyfriend
Blade x malereader, fluff, soulmate au; Warning! reluctant, cold Blade at first - "slow burn"
Meeting each other:
It's not that Blade didn't believe in soulmates. He did.
What's more, he dreamed of meeting one.
But it lasted only for a little while.
When he still was a little naive boy.
Boy who hoped to find someone that could keep him company when he was lonely. Someone who would take care of him. Someone to whom he could give all his love to and by whom he would feel appreciated.
Those days, however, are gone.
Blade quickly realized that life wasn't as cheerful as they say.
He grew up.
All wounds he had gained made him understand that he could only count on himself. Only he could protect himself.
And he only trusted himself.
Besides, after what he had done... He didn't deserve love.
At least that's what he thought.
So he didn't seek for a soulmate.
But soulmate found him on its own way.
And Blade chose to believe that all this wasn't Elio's plan at all.
Tumblr media
When Blade met you for the first time. His heart stopped for a second.
For a good minute he couldn't take his eyes off you.
Your reaction wasn't any better.
Something hidden deep in Blade took control of him.
That legendary power, destiny...
Everything around him seemed to have disappeared. Sounds from the outside, excited voices of Kafka and Silver.
Background blurred and the only clear thing in his field of view was... you.
However, Blade was quick to regain his senses. He straightened up, put a serious expression and decided to act cold.
He ignored your presence and walked past you with a swift, energetic move.
Seeing this reaction you bluntly understood his message.
And you chose to act the same way. Without forcing your presence.
However, everything changed when it turned out that your company enhanced Blade's skills, in a mutual manner.
Together you were an unstoppable duo.
It was a common thing for soulmates. To become stronger in each other's presence. But Blade felt that only after your first mission.
After first encounter, every separation made both soulmates weaker. Alone, a person couldn't reach they 100% potential.
That's why Blade decided to use you to become better. To be able to kill more.
He would never let you leave.
And, by the way... you were not that bad kind of a warrior yourself.
Don't get him wrong. Blade "DIDN'T NEED" you. But the fact that someone watched his back and let him avoid a few new wounds, wasn't that bad either.
Blade liked to self-improve himself in his free time.
Since he met you he found a new way to do that. He started reading about soulmate's bond.
By this, he learned that touch could strengthened the bond. And the stronger the bond was, the stronger attacks, abilities and talents were.
Perhaps it wasn't an unexpected news. But for Blade, who had never felt a care, never felt a warmth of another person...
It wasn't anything normal.
So Blade began to seek a contact with you. Talking seemed too tiring. And it didn't seem that effective either. Also, Blade didn't want to get to know you. He wasn't interested in what you like and what you don't. It all seemed so trivial and unnecessary for him.
He didn't care what you were like. Althouht not for long.
Blade had no idea how should he get it done. That's why he threw an open book in your direction and pointed a correct line with his finger.
He looked at you with a stiff, unfriendly face, crossing his arms on his chest.
You did what he told you to do. Because Blade couldn't tolerate any objections.
It started with holding his hand.
But Blade felt so awkward with it... Like some stupid tenager.
And it was all because he was an adult now! Not because he felt embarassed... Right?!
So he quickly snatched his hand out of your grasp and stood up rapidly.
He suggested something else. Something in what he didn't have to look at you.
You started laying down together. Blade with his back to you. And you embracing him.
You didn't see this as the best way to get to know each other. You both had definitely skipped a few steps.
But seeing Blade's piercing face earlier, you didn't want to start a quarrel. And you also wanted to seize an opportunity. Maybe that would really let you to get closer to him. After all, you were soulmates. You were destined for each other. You were meant to spend the rest of your lives with each other-
And it's not that in this world soulmates always ended up together. Sometimes they stayed just as a friends. Sometimes they parted ways. They found someone else, despite their inner voice and loved each other very deeply. And sometimes they just didn't meet at all.
Yet you really had no choice. First of all, you began to tie your future with working as Stellaron Hunter. Secondly... Blade really didn't look like someone who would let you go. Not that you really minded that. At least you felt appreciated. And deep inside, you felt that Blade wasn't as bad as he tried to pretend.
At first Blade was stiff.
Very much. As a board.
At first you yourself felt a little uncomfortable too. But later you had to bite your lip to keep from laughing. He was adorable and funny at the same time. But it was, after all, his first time.
At some point, after many attempts, you started to get used to it. And Blade stopped being so stiff.
You, however, couldn't stand this silence. So you took the lead and started talking about yourself. After all, you didn't count on getting anything out of Blade.
Blade wished so fricking bad for you to shut up. Your warm breath tickled his ear and caused some weird twisting in his stomach.
However, he couldn't tell you to stop. After all, he didn't want to show you how much he blushed at that time. What an effect you had on him.
At first he tried not to listen to you. And he couldn't even focus on your speech, to be honest.
At some point, however, he began to gather informations about you. Eventually he realized that since he was lying still anyway, he could listen to you and maybe collect some valuable knowledge. But obviously, he didn't let it show.
But after weeks, he himself started to join your conversation. First with a few snarky comments. Then, with full sentences, Blade began to add something about himself.
He started to treasure every thing that he knew about you. What's more. He was proud that he knew so much of you. He loved to rub it in Silver's face.
After a year together you really started to matter to him.
Habits/Facts:
You were always there for him. Both, in little and in big things. You took care of him when he was sick. When he was busy, you brought small things that he needed like book or tissue, or food for example. But you also saved his life more than once. You cared, you helped him. He really meant something to you.
And you never left him. Even when he was cruel to you. When he ordered, shouted for you to leave.
After a few years, Blade got used to your presence. Not only that. He actually fell in love.
Finally he mattered to someone. And it wasn't just anyone. It was you. The most wonderful person he ever met.
He was the one who asked you to become a couple. Or rather, he decided for you two and just let you know. Typically, in his style.
One afternoon, when he had had enough of Kafka's teasting. He finally broke down and said that "you are together". This effectively shut her mouth while you looked at him with your eyes wide open.
As Blade claimed, putting a label on your relationship was also very beneficial. From then on, you were able to live in a shared bedroom. Yours, because it was more cozy according to Blade.
Of course, he didn't dare tell you that.
Besides, Blade often doesn't tell you many things. Especially if it involves his feelings. Although he doesn't look like it, he is extremely shy in these matters.
He also likes to decide by himself. He just tells you what the plan is and immediately gets into action. Without even waiting for your answer.
You got used to it. At least he keeps you updated. So it could be worse.
Well, and when something really bothers you. And you say it in a firm voice, Blade will stop right away.
Currently you are the only one who can cool him down and talk some sense into him. This is especially helpful on a missions.
When you finally told him that you love him and he felt a true sincerity in it, he burst into tears. For the first time since joining Stellaron Hunters. He lost, overwhelmed with emotions.
It took him years to fully trust you. And say it back.
But when he did... oh boy. You'll never forget it. Especially since Blade isn't eager to show too much affection.
His favorite form of relaxation is to lay his head on your exposed chest and listen to your heartbeat as you lie on your bed together. He feels calm and safe then. He has the assurance that you are alive and that you are really here. That someone really cares about him. And that it isn't just an illusion.
This also relates to your mornings: warm rays of the sun caress his bare shoulders. You affectionately brush through his hair. He then purrs quietly with approval.
But only for a moment.
He quickly returns to listening to the sounds of your heart.
Although Blade pretends otherwise he can be really insecure. Especially when it comes to his scars, which he has plenty of due to the battles he took.
He waited a long time before showing you his body. When he finally did, he couldn't look you in the eye. And you, seeing his back, froze. Blade heard you holding your breath. He started to panic and began to regret his decisions. As soon as you saw him trembling, you immediately got up from the bed, ran over to him. You started to kiss every single one, even the smallest wounds.
He won't admit it but he cares deeply about your approval. And every compliment you say sticks in his head.
When he is jealous he won't tell you directly but will easily let you feel it. Blade will avoid you. And he will start walking faster when you try to reach him. When you finally catch up to him, he'll pretend he doesn't hear you and that he has something more important to do.
Tell him that he is the only one that matters to you. And that in your eyes there is no one better than him. He will hesitantly forgive you and let you lock him in a tight hug. But while still keeping a poker face.
You must reassure him that he is important to you and remind him of his worth. He, unfortunately, often forgets about that and it leads him to a horrible conditions.
If u want to make him blush don't think about touching him in public or anything like that. He doesn't care. At least he acts like its not a big deal. You are a couple. You did it plenty of times. Besides, any work partner can grab his companion's arm or hand.
Instead, make some kind gesture with which you show him that you care about him. For example, make him breakfast in bed and his cheeks will immediately cover in a big reddish blush. He won't acknowledge you with even a single word. But will instantly take the tray from you.
Fights... They are a big part of your daily life. Pumped up Blade always runs ahead while you watch his back.
However, Blade doesn't forget about your presence and after each defeated opponent, he searches you with his eyes and makes sure you're okay.
In theory, he could rely on your soulmate's bond. And wait for a "stab" in his heart which would tell him that something is wrong with you. But he couldn't stand by and let himself lose the only important person in his life.
After a long tiring struggle, you are blessed with his horse voice. You aren't sure if you have heard anything more relaxing in your life.
Hearing the meaning of red spider lilies* that so often surrounded him, you decided to replace them with something else. Something he could love.
You've made a habit of bringing him bouquets of red roses. And he developed the habit of drying them. At some point he collected so many that he didn't know what to do with them anymore. Now Blade separates some of them into petals. Which he places in a notebook. Transforms into his favorite teas. Or perfumes, which he uses on himself. Thanks to that, even in your absence, he can feel your presence.
Let's say it's over for today because translating it will be very painful for me anyway...
*Red spider lilies are associated with death, sad memories, last goodbyes, especially to loved ones and for this reason, they aren't given as gifts.
While red roses symbolize a true love🥀

Is it a date?
Tumblr media
Is it a date?
Bronya Rand x malereader, fluff
-Could you talk with her?
-I don't know if this is the best idea…
-She'll listen to you for sure.
You looked at your sister with disapproval.
-Weren't you the one, who didn't question any of her statements, trusted her absolutely and declared that you would support her in any decision, because it would surely be the right one?
Seele rested one hand on her hip and almost rolled her eyes.
-But not when it comes to the well-being of Underworld
Tumblr media
-I really don't want to pry… - you heavily breathed out.
You honestly preferred to stay away from politics matters. And even more from putting a pressure on Bronya.
-But are you sure that your tax requests in Underworld aren't perhaps a little-... exaggerated?
You were just leaning with your back on monumental wooden desk in Qlipoth Fort's office. Hesistant, every now and then, you were shifting your gaze from a window in front of you to your clasped hands.
Occasionally, you also sent Bronya some uncertain glances, trying to figure out her reaction. However, that only lasted for seconds.
Due to the lunch hour, you two were alone in the room. Bronya was sitting on a leather chair. Just several inches away from you.
Bright rays of sunlight were falling on her hair.
She was looking through some less important papers, about non-priority matters. Or at least that's how she described them when you were making sure if you could interrupt her.
-What do you mean? -she asked, without looking away from her work.
-Don't you think they are a bit... too high?
-Exactly the same as Overworld's people.
-Yes, people who didn't have economic crisis and could always find a source of work.
-You know I have no choice.
With a grimace on her face, she hinted to the matter of Belobog's debt. To money they had owed IPC for a long time.
That way she quickly ended the topic.
Bronya pushed herself away from the desk. Then stood up and walked to the wall with a spacious window.
She crossed her hands on her chest, gazing at the city in a distance.
-But okay. I can try to think it over - she added suddenly.
You immediately got up from your place.
-Ah thank you Bronya! You are the best, finally Seele will stop bugging me about it!
You moved towards her relieved and full of energy. Almost wanting to hug her on spot.
Although maybe your sister's situation wasn't the only one that made you happy. You were also kind of proud of yourself for being able to help your people by chance.
-I will repay you as soon as it will be possible! - you assured, wanting to close your deal and get over it.
Bronya, without much thought, chose her "reward". Truthfully, you rather expected something like a hand wave. Or saying that it wasn't a problem. But such a turn of events didn't bother you. You were even grateful that you weren't the only one who took advantage of your long friendship.
-You once promised me that you would take me on a picnic outside the city.
Suprised, you turned your head to the side and frowned. A slight blush appeared on girl's cheeks. She turned around even more. Now she was no longer just standing sideways to you, but actually with her back. She anxiously avoided your gaze, as well as your reaction.
-Isn't it a little too cold for that? -you asked unsurely.
-I can handle some cold
Tumblr media
-Just don't feel disappointed - you clarified right away.
Currently frosted Jarilo-VI probably wasn't the best environment for picnics.
You were stepping briskly through the white, fuzzy Jarilo-VI's lands, climbing uphill. Bronya followed right behind you, only slightly further. Somehow a little bit shy and a little bit more dressed up than usual. Although, from what Seele once told you, Bronya always changed like that in front of you.
You blessed fate for at least a friendly weather. Today's day was one of nicer ones. Sunny and with a pleasant "summer breeze" in the air. Not too windy. Although not for long.
-Here we are! -you announced happily, though with a lacking confidence.
Rocky surface of the cliff apperaed to your view. Warm rays of sun had managed to melt a thin layer of snow that had fallen on it during the night. In the result, you were gifted with a small gap on which you could now spread a fluffy blanket. All the best for Supreme Guardian.
You hurriedly took care of laying out a picnic and taking things out of a wicker basket. In the same time, girl watched you with curiosity and affection.
When everything was ready you gave her a hand to help her take a seat. She accepted it out of habit and sat down on bent legs.
Her eyes lit up at the amount of food you had prepared by yourself, especially for her. Regardless of whether you were good at cooking or not. Bronya was extremely grateful for all the work you put into it.
You handed her a thermal mug of warm tea and she smiled slightly at this.
-Thank you -well mannered as always- It's really beautiful here.
You felt a stab of pride.
In front of you a view of a beautiful, snow-white landscape took place. Deep down Belobog shimmered with bright lights. From such a distance, houses seemed tiny, and roads looked like one big maze.
Suddenly an unexpected blow of frosty air gushed towards you. Truth to be told, quick and only one, but Bronya trembled all the way anyway. Worried, you reached for a small, rolled up fur. You put it over girl's shoulders, making sure it wouldn't fall off. Then you returned to your seat and reached for something to drink.
-Sorry it's not perfect, but-
-Don't worry, it's great. The best date I could ever imagine.
Shocked, you choked on a juice that you were just drinking.
-D-date?!
-Is it not? -she asked surprised, covering herself all in red.
You coughed, looking at her with wide-open eyes.
-Oh…
Bronya, seeing your reaction, immediately became down. It came to her that you both were looking at this meeting in completly different ways.
-No no no! -she waved her hands rapidly while skaking her head. And after that, covered her entire face with them.
-F-forget that I said anything! It was just a misunderstanding! I d-didn't mean anything!
To say that you were confused and didn't know what to do was like saying nothing.
You wanted to help nervously blabbering girl, but you had no idea how to do it. You had liked Bronya for a long time. But you always thought she didn't feel the same. She was too busy with her responsibilities of Supreme Guardian. And didn't look like a person who wanted to find a second half. That's why you quickly came to conclusion that you had no chance and let it go. After all, you were just friends to each other, right?
-Wait wait - you tried to wake up from your trance and regain some sober thinking, but it wasn't easy.
You coughed out remnants of liquid that was irritating your lungs. And then you grabbed girl's wrists, pulling them slightly. You saw embarrassed Bronya, covered completely in an intense blush. So, after all, then in the office, you had been right. You really had made Bronya blush.
-You like-… me? - you hesistantly tried to form a sentance.
Stating a fact, but at the same time asking a question to yourself.
Bronya looked at you panicked. With large, shining eyes, she resembled a deer caught in headlights.
She swallowed saliva and nodded unsurely. Giving up in the end. If not today then never.
-And you don't - she replied surprisingly calmly.
-I-… It's not like that. I was just not expecting that
-Don't worry, we can completely forget about it. I'll go back to my duties. I quess that I was just never good at reading emotions and relationships. I only hope that we can still be friends after that
-It's not like that! -you protested, not wanting to miss the opportunity- You just really suprissed me, you know?
In the heat of a moment, you locked her in a warm embrace.
-But I would love if you agreed to be my girlfriend- you added, squeezing her even tighter.
She, with a smile on her face and a tear in her eye, hugged you back.
-I would be the happiest girlfriend in whole Jarilo-VI

What are lions truly scared of
Tumblr media
What are lions truly scared of
half-lion!Jing Yuan x malereader, fluff
Jing Yuan resembled a lion in many ways.
Lions stood out with their bushy mane, one that was incredibly similar to Jing Yuan's. Long, thick, messy. Extremely difficult to control.
Lions weighed around 420 pounds*. Known for their massive build. Their mass and strength allowed them to hunt and fight for their pride. Exactly as in case of Jing Yuan who had a powerful physique, which made masculinity radiate from him. By his very appearance, Jing Yuan woke awe and fear in eyes of his enemies.
Lions were "kings of the jungle". They kept watch over other animals. Just like Jing Yuan, who ruled Xianzhou Luofu thanks to his role as one of leaders.
Lions mostly didn't raise their offspring, leaving that to lionesses to do. Despite this, they always protected the youngest ones. Maybe that's why Jing Yuan often put off teaching Yanqing and preferred not to assign him difficult tasks through which he could get hurt.
Lions were known for performing outstanding hunts. Choosing right time, adjusting their attack tactics and observing their prey for a long while. When working as a team and carefully following tasks instructed to them, lionesses were able to knock down a giraffe that greatly surpassed them. Perhaps this is why Jing Yuan was such a great strategist. His skills worked well both in chess and on battlefield. Man didn't act by impulse, he thoughtfully chose his next steps. He knew that not all attacks should be responded to, and even if, it wasn't necessary to do that immediately. Sometimes it was better to wait for the right moment. Slow action and "patience" also allowed Jing Yuan to not get too much tired...
Lions became exhausted easily and run only on short distances. So you could say that Jing Yuan had in genes this laziness and dullness which he was always showing.
That's why it wasn't surprising when, during transformation of some of Luofu's residents, Jing Yuan was one of them.
Yes, at some point the nation over which Jing Yuan held custody began to change. At first Xianzhou Luofu was just an unusual and wonderful place inhabited by many different species. The most popular of them were of course Foxians, Vidyadharas and Xianzhou Natives. The last one were previously famous only for their long-living. They didn't show any animal traits in their apperance. Over the years, however, this began to change. Mutations weren't common, but despite that, in some individuals they suddenly triggered the appearance of parts unusual for human body. Tails, horns, extra ears, claws, scales, anything that just referred to animals that Natives personified.
Because of that, an already perfect image of General was enhanced by a pair of white lion ears and a long, swift tail.
However, that was not what caught your attention. Rather it was a Jing Yuan's strange behavior.
At first, you thought you only imagined it or that it was just a pure coincidence. Over time, however, you found that Jing Yuan was really avoiding you on purpose.
At Louofu celebrations, by the time you were able to push through the crowd to where Six Charioteers were standing, Jing Yuan had always managed to change his position. Leaving behind only sight of departing shadow and ruffles of his robe waving in the wind.
When you visited Divine Foresight for business matters, you could never find Jing Yuan. When you asked about him, you were told that man had left only seconds before you arrived. Or even better, that at that day he wasn't there at all. And you could have sworn that behind the closing door to one of the back rooms, you saw a long, white tail frivolously levitating in the air.
However, you got really fed up with all that when Jing Yuan sent his representatives to consultation with you instead of showing up himself.
You also like Jing Yuan belonged to long-lived species. Although you didn't reveal any additional features in your appearance. And in look were no different from an ordinary person (well, maybe not counting large build in form of broad shoulders and above-average height). But elephant blood flowed through your veins.
As a result, you and your family became famous for your divine memory. Because of which, male line of your dynasty from generation to generation served rulers as consultants and "treasurers of knowledge". Though this didn't happen often. Because your services were extremely expensive. And also because you have lived in a grudge against Six Charioteers since ancient times. Precisely, since a few centuries ago one of former rulers made a decision completely different from your suggestions. That offended your pride deeply. However, your helping still took place in special circumstances.
One could say that due to the long life span, there weren't many of your "generations". But unfortunately, because of your genes, you were the target of so-called "poachers". They were eliminating you because of highly paid commission. You were valuable, your knowledge was precious. And it posed a great threat to others. That forced you to start new generations. By holding sensitive information from many years, your grandfather and later also your father lost their lives. Only you remained. And it was you who held the duties of "treasurer of knowledge".
You did it with extreme diligence and were respected by many. That's why you decided to take advantage of it.
When stellaron crisis hit Luofu, and you were once again asked to share your knowledge by Jing Yuan's subordinates. You gave an ultimatum.
General had to personally show up.
New deals, raises, promises of extraordinary rewards couldn't bribe you.
What's more, enough was enough when, after "agreeing" to your terms, another broker appeared at the meeting instead of Jing Yuan. Explaining himself with General's "illness".
To some, your attitude could seem trivial. But you really needed to find out why the head of Xianzhou Luofu had been avoiding you like a fire for years. Was there something wrong with you? Did you offend him with something? But how were you supposed to do that if you had never even seen him in person. Exactly. You had never had the opportunity to even see Jing Yuan with your own eyes before. You only knew his appearance and character from stories, paintings and your own analysis. That additionally kept you motivated in holding on your decisions.
And that's why you left the meeting room with a bang. News about your grudge immediately reaching General.
Jing Yuan realized that he had crossed the line. And that if he really wanted to get answers for his questions, he had to meet you in person. Not hologram, not anyone else, but he himself. If you would grant him another chance at all….
Your curiosity, however, worked in his favor. A week later, Jing Yuan showed up at your residence.
You found him sitting on a mat in your office. At the sight of him you instantly froze for a second. He looked even better than they described him, though perhaps not as majestically... Did you imagine that or did he really give off a vibe of shy and lost? Hunched, he looked around the room with hesitation. Avoiding your gaze at the same time. You didn't know where the great, famous, well-respected general had gone.
You took a seat on the other side of the table. And you took a closer look at him.
Fluffy white ears lay flattened on his head, and eyes that still avoided your face were squinted. With your memory, you returned to books about lions that you had been browsing, wishing to learn more about Jing Yuan.
Similar symptoms occurred in cat family when they were scared of something. But what could a brilliant General be afraid of. Stunned, you looked around to the sides, but you didn't see any threat behind your back.
-So how can i help the famous Jing Yuan? - you asked almost amused.
-Nameless... Is there anything I should know about them regarding the history of Xianzhou Luofu? Something that could prevent success of our cooperation? Can they be trusted?
You smiled at this.
-Why don't we start with what we agreed on in the letter first? - you recalled your conversation that you held after the last insult.
Man pulled a book from behind his bask and slid it timidly towards you. You grabbed it and opened at the page pointed by bookmark which surprisingly matched the patterns on Jing Yuan's robe.
You read the subject and then next few lines.
"What are Lions scared of?"
"Lions have only a few predators to fear other than humans."
Not that.
"Lions are not really scared of elephants. But elephants are the only animals they really try to avoid. [...] Lions show elephants respect that they deserve. Lions know that they will not defeat an elephant alone, because elephants are too powerful and massive for that. "
You smiled even wider and came up with another idea.
-What would General say about changing our agreement? I wouldn't want to drain Luofu's treasury that much... You have nothing to be scared of General. Although your ears could "suffer" a bit under new rules -you suggested playfully.
Jing Yuan rapidly raised his head. For the first time you could sink into his golden eyes. Nevertheless, you were greatly distracted from this astonishing view by naughty tail, which also rose to attention and flicked in the air.
After a moment, Jing Yuan burst into laughter, and his confidence returned. He nudged his head over the table towards you.
-What are u waiting for?
You also responded to the remark with laughter and slight disbelief.
Several decades of waiting, and everything could be solved in a few seconds.
You lifted your hand up, over Jing Yuan's mane. You hesitated for a moment, but then excitedly ruffled lion's ears. Soft to the touch. Fluffy as a cloud. Pleasantly cold after traveling outside.
And those purrs... Almost cat-like purr that came out of Jing Yuan immediately right after your gentle hands began kneading his ears in not so gently way. You could hear it more often.
And what's more, you could probably even fall in love with it.

"You are cute when you get worried about me" - Part 1
Tumblr media
"You are cute when you get worried about me" - Part 1
Dan Heng x malereader, fluff
Dan Heng...
Such a peculiar individual. He never spoke too much, never took the lead. Quiet, shy, modest. Living, as if in his own world and constantly seeking peace of mind.
When talking he was always a secondary character.
And in matter of fact, he did it so well that when you first got on train you didn't even notice him.
Yes, you were ashemed of yourself because of that. But in this rush of emotions and questions from new faces, especially March and Himeko, Dan Heng was just a... shadow.
Gradually, however, this began to change.
First, you had to experience shock at the sight of boy sitting next to you (Who, by the way, took his place on red seat in a very soundless way...) And spill a slowly cooling drink at yourself.
When it occurred to you that Dan Heng had been on the train all this time, including the last few days that had passed since your arrival, only then you could begin to calm down. And adventure between the two of you could truly begin.
You started bumping into each other. More and more frequently. You could say that this wasn't a big achievement in a closed space which train was. But with Dan Heng, however, situation looked a little different.
Weird fate brought you two together.
You couldn't get used to new time zone and instead of sleeping, you wandered around the train at night. On the other hand, he was sneaking out late at night to grab some food. Lured with naive hopes of not meeting a single person on his way.
There were more stories of similar kind. You ran into each other by chance in storage compartments. Or escaped together from March's pushiness.
Although Dan Heng tried to avoid people as much as possible, your company was not so bad. And even quite... tolerable. Which was definitely surprising.
You didn't force your presence. Didn't look for a topic for unnecessary chat.
You both were able to stay in complete silence for a long time. It provided a strange comfort to Dan Heng. And you... you just didn't care about creating a forced relationship with the other. Nor did you want to do anything that would make boy feel bad.
Despite that, with each situation you managed to discover new features of Dan Heng. It turned out that he wasn't just an ordinary silent shadow.
And somehow, strangely, you started to convince yourself to him.
So much that when March told you about how Dan Heng was supposed to perform cpr on Trailblazer you gritted your teeth.
You yourself didn't know why. Dan Heng was just so... tender, innocent, elegant. You couldn't imagine anyone reaching up to his level. No one deserved his touch. Even you were not good enough for him. Wait...
Or was it just a jealousy?
Strange thoughts disappeared as quickly as they appeared. And you two started to become just a couple of good companions.
More and more often you dropped by his room to read something interesting. And he frequently recommended something from his collection to you.
In return, you always appreciated him by a cup of something warm. And not only in his room. When Dan Heng was sitting in parlor car with everyone else, you would appear out of nowhere, sliding steaming drink under his nose.
At first March was always throwing a tantrum for not handing her one as well. But as time went on, she began to suspect that you must have added something there. Because Dan Heng began to behave somehow strangely different.
And absolutely, in your whole life you wouldn't even think of something like that! Especially since Dan Heng was only a friend in your eyes (and even to this status there was still a long way ahead).
But indeed, boy somehow began to appear in your company more often. He would approach you of his own want. And when he had to take a seat at a table, he always chose the one next to you. Not to Yang, not Himeko, not Trailblazer, not March, but you. He didn't really say anything at that time. Mostly he was so quiet that after some time you even managed to forget about his presence.
He just felt comfortable in your company, your voice calming him down. He enjoyed listening especially to your speeches. Although you didn't show your wise side at first meeting, over time Dan Heng developed a great respect for you. When you commented on books, analyzed documents and, to his horror, sometimes corrected his diagrams.... you seemed so incredibly smart for such a young age. In terms of eloquence you matched to Himeko or Mr.Yang themself. Even when you were separated by such a big difference in experience.
Before you knew it Dan Heng was coming to you for advice. Mainly wanting to consult plans for various missions. He didn't do this often and certainly wasn't confident enough to ask you directly. His pride and desire for complete independence could suffer greatly from this.
But why do something so troublesome, when he had you just there, so close... That's why in moments of desperation he slipped his notes under your nose. Casually, by accident. He always pointed out that he was in the middle of working on them and that he just took a quick break. He didn't ask for help.
He wanted to create an illusion in which he could handle everything by himself. Where he already had specific steps planned. He just hadn't had time to write them down yet.
He was waiting for you to suggest a solution on your own. And you gladly played along. Even when you finally understood his actions, you couldn't destroy his fragile ego. Put him in hesitation, bring him to a state where he would start doubting himself and claim that he wasn't good enough for this world.
That's why you would just throw some idea. He would only mutter that he had come up with it a long time ago. And whenever you left his room, he would rush to his papers as quickly as possible, noting your solution.
First few months passed and Nameless welcomed you into the family, began to treat you as their own. You were so friendly, warm-hearted and understanding that you won their trust without much difficulty.
In the result, you started going on short, simple missions. With different people. Though probably most often with Trailblazer. Both of you were new on train. Others already had many adventures behind them, so they decided that it was your time.
It was true that by sheer coincidence of fate you spent most of your time with Dan Heng on train. But you really doubted that he would miss you. He wasn't that type. Besides, you also didn't have time to think about him in heat of battle.
Despite that, boy was able to remind you about himself sometimes.
You didn't expect it, but one time your phone made a hazy sound of a notification.
When you saw from who the message came, you couldn't believe your eyes. Dan Heng.
Your conversation wasn't very thrilling. Boy wanted to share some new discovery. So after a not-so-short introduction involving long definitions and some data, he ordered you to visit him in his room as soon as you returned.
"And don't forget about drinking water. Dehydration can lead to dizziness and serious physical damage to your health." - that's exactly how his last message sounded like. After it, his status immediately changed to offline.
To others, this message could have not meant anything, but you have already managed to get to know Dan Heng.
Although the way he showed his affection was definitely... unusual and not very obvious. Revolving mostly around simple things. In you it still caused a spread of warmth.
Your friend was genuinely concerned about you. You meant something to him.
"Cute" - was all you managed to think before shoving your phone into a pocket.
On some missions, however, you had to worry about more serious issues than hydration.
Apparently when Dan Heng found out that u were severely injured, he didn't even wait for Himeko's instructions before rushing to your rescue. But then again, who would trust March's stories...
-So stupid of you, thinking that u could handle this monster on your own - he shouted angrily, at the same time pushing your drained body closer and closer to his chest and rapidly beating heart.
-Stupid, stupid, stupid! -he just repeated, while punching your aching shoulder with free wrist. You only hissed at that harder, but you didn't dare to say anything.
You guessed Dan Heng was really worried.
Ever since he stopped your bleeding, he hasn't left your side. For the first time in so long, stress spoke through him. He supported your torso on bended knees as Trailblazer went to show the way to other Nameless.
Dan Heng probably should have replaced the limping Trailblazer in this situation and get help by himself. But it didn't even cross his mind to lose sight of you ever again. Who knows, maybe you would get some stupid idea again and start fighting an obviously stronger beast without him.
Despite all this situation, he probably didn't lose his common sense. Because as you thought about it longer his punches and shouts effectively kept you from drifting off into unconsciousness...
You didn't think you could mean so much to him. And yet, in that short time, you unintentionally became his biggest support. Someone he could come to, knowing that he wouldn't be bombarded with questions at the same time. It was on your shoulder that he could rest his head when he was losing battle with sleep deprivation. He felt safe because he knew that you weren't one of those people who would forcefully dig into his past. Besides, in his eyes, you were nice, you paid attention to details and as funny as it might sound.... you were simply clever. Even if others saw you differently, even if you had other opinion of yourself.
You were the one who always respected his opinion and you just... were there.
Therefore, at the very thought that he could lose you... That he could lose any of his loved ones again, his heart froze.
-Don't even think that I will ever let you go on any mission alone. From now on we are partners.
You only smiled at that.
-You know, you are cute when you get worried about me?
Dan Heng looked at you startled. And a slight blush appeared on his cheeks.
Before you had time to look at him more, you were thrown on the hard ground with a loud bang.

Jean as your girlfriend
Tumblr media
Jean as your girlfriend
Jean Gunnhildr x malereader, fluff
You met at one of balls organized by Mondstadt nation. True paradise for bourgeoisie.
Thanks to lack of interesting things to do, you decided to talk to her. She was the only person there with similar age of yours. And if you had to be honest, it was difficult to not feel for her beauty.
Unfortunately, it turned out that she was very stiff, and your frivolous ideas weren't in her taste.
Despite poor beginnings, you didn't lose the courage. And whenever you came to Mondstadt again, you often looked for her company.
Her being difficult to approach, began to drive you even more.
Jean didn't want to take your relationship to next level. Especially when she was "promoted" to a higher position. She feared that it would distract her from her duties (and as it turned out, she was right).
After many dates and dandelions gifts, she gave in. Jean admitted that, when choosing the lesser evil, you'd be at least a good candidate for a husband. Which she would eventually have to have.
Well, maybe she was also influenced by some suggestions from above...
However, this doesn't change the fact that when Jean allowed herself to love you, it was as sincere and deep as possible.
Jean always attaches great importance to gifts she gives you on occasion of holidays like birthdays or your anniversaries.
One might think that due to a stack of errands, girl forgets about dates important for you two. Nothing could be further from the truth.
She has everything carefully written down and planned in advance. She pays no less attention to this than to Mondstadt's defense strategies.
Sometimes you can say that Jean is overly excessive in feelings.
She wants to be 100% sure that she is fulfilling the role of a partner well and that you really feel loved.
When you have company, however, she tells you to behave yourself. And responds to all your jokes with a stone face. She strictly avoids any of attempts at kissing. And for wanting to hold hands, your limb takes quite a beating.
Unfortunately, despite everything, Jean rarely has time for you. No matter how hard she tries to work, stack of papers on her desk never disappears. That's why you stopped caring about it and now you "kidnap" her regularly.
At first, this happened under the pretext of "major disasters" or news about so-called "threat to your life".
After a while, however, Jean stopped falling for it (hardly surprising, since every S.O.S. signal ended with a peaceful date) and simply agreed to go out with you without any pretexts. Just for a purpose of rest.
Exactly... Rest.... Although you plan dates with best intentions, you are unable to change Jean's workaholic urges.
Every walk turns into a patrol and every dinner into a background survey.
However, this doesn't change your feelings for Jean.
Only actual form of spending free time together is for you two to go to one of your rooms and lock yourself inside the four walls.
For a while.
Eventually you manage to find something to distract Jean from her work. Horses.
Yes, Jean, because of her status, learned riding in childhood. Now, shared rides on Mondstadt's lowlands are your true moments together filled with joy.
Once Jean was inspired by a sweater that Noelle sewed for her boyfriend. She decided to gift you one as well. Let's just say that it didn't end well.
Nevertheless, you were sweeten by her gesture.
You dressed your shared plushie in this hypotetical "sweater" (which was more like a scarf).
Plushie, that you won for Jean during one of festivals.
Jean often takes you to various formal parties. She just likes to have you close.
Jean doesn't need protection. She's doing great on her own, but still your presence is always a great support for her.
She feels that when you accompany her, her opinion starts to matter more.
About your evenings by the fireplace... they end before they even begin.
Simply when you go to get something (be it a tea, a blanket, a book, a whatever) an overworked Jean falls asleep before you can even return.
However her calm expression at those moments has a very soothing effect on you. So you respond with a smile and let it slide.
Jean was raised as traditionalist. That's why you had a hard time convincing her to even sleep in one room.
Although, girl gave in, when she began to unconsciously fall asleep in your arms definitely to often for her liking.
Despite that, don't forget that in the end, all you can count on before wedding are kisses and hugs. There are some limits.
A girl is not even planning to change her clothes in front of you in the most drastic situation. Even if sky is falling on your heads it is not appropriate to do so. Period.
But you respect this and don't really mind. At least I hope so...
You are the first person to whom Jean has showed any kind of romantic love. Because of that, your entire relationship and everything you do in it is completely new to her.
And in this topic you act as some kind of a teacher.
Jean speaks to you by your name. Cute couple nicknames are not an option. She would feel too uncomfortable and unprofessional.
When you finally get married it is possible that she will start referring to you as a "husband." But don't hope for anything else.
Taking care of Mondstadt is her form of taking care of you. She thinks that by building a significant nation, she is ensuring a secure future for her family.
Warm light of candles located in rich candelabras, radiated from the ceiling of Mondstadt's ballroom.
Soft notes of classical music floated in the air, creating a perfect background for talking and an even better atmosphere for sleeping.
You yawned softly, in the same time stretching slightly. Tired and definitely bored, you leaned on one of high tables set up all across the room. With lazy eyes, looked around at guests. And stopped for a longer time on a blond-haired person. A tall girl. Her hair neatly pinned up. Her outfit perfectly tailored. On her modest face, emotions similar to yours started to paint itself- a true dislike to being here.
You right away made a sly smile. With a sudden, energetic movement you pushed yourself away from the table and made your way towards the girl.
In the meantime, you grabbed a glass full of champagne from tray.
-What is such a beautiful lady doing here alone? -you asked cockily , this time leaning against the wall.
Blond-haired woman measured you with a doubtful glance.
However, she quickly reflected herself and straightened up, pushing her frame forward.
-Probably the same thing as you, Master [Y/N] - she replied coldly, clearly tired of fake smiles with which she had to greet all previous guests.
At that time, Jean was still young and lacked much in terms of kind, understanding Mondstadt's caretaker. She didn't yet have full experience in putting on mask of tireless and most reliable person.
She still easily managed to conquer your heart.
-[Y/N]? Does anyone these days still pay attention to learning entire guest list before the party? - you didn't hide your astonishment.
Blonde, however, didn't say anything at that.
You gently stirred your champagne in glass and, throwing her another glance, continued:
-So why don't you help in my incompetence too and tell me your name?
-Jean Gunnhildr- she answered, this time with a smile, extending her hand stiffly in your direction.
You grabbed it without any hesitation.
-I'm counting on a fruitful collaboration~
