Valentine’s Day Headcanon/Drabbles
I’m very slow with requests but I’m currently working on them! I just wanted to write something for Valentine’s Day. Also I don’t usually write Date Mark but since it’s Valentine’s Day I think it fits
Characters in Order: Darkiplier, Damien, Googleplier, Date Mark, Illinois, Eric Derekson, Jameson Jackson
Category: Fluff
Pronouns: They/Them, not used directly
Warnings: Writer’s favorites are obvious, swearing, somewhat spicy reference in Illinois’s but it’s not much
Darkiplier
- This is one of the only holidays he actually plans for and looks forward to
- He actually takes the day off for once to spend time with you
- Would wake you up with your favorite breakfast in bed
- After you’re done eating he cuddles you for a while
- Then he takes you shopping. He’ll buy you pretty much anything you want
- (He’d think it’s really sweet if you got him something too though, so you should do that. It doesn’t have to be expensive)
- Takes you to your favorite restaurant for lunch
- Y’all go for a walk and go to the library/zoo/aquarium (or whatever you prefer)
- He takes you to a fancy restaurant for dinner
- Y’all cuddle and watch movies when you get home <3
Damien
- Y’all stay in for the most part
- Cuddling and movies all day
- He got you flowers and a small gift
- He’d be happy with anything you got him <3
- Makes breakfast and lunch for you
- (Though he will love it if you both cooked together)
- Took you to a nice restaurant for dinner
Googleplier
- He didn’t really understand Valentine’s Day?
- He does his research though
- Goes probably too hard with it
- Ends up planning way too much
- When he wakes you up, he excitedly tells you about everything he planned
- …you very gently let him know that all of his plans would be incredibly stressful
- He’s a little sad at first, but he doesn’t want to stress you out, so he changes his plans to be a couple things
- You get each other some gifts
- You go out to your favorite restaurant for lunch
- Y’all spend the rest of the day cuddling
- Takeout for dinner
- He’s honestly really flustered the whole time
- Even if it isn’t exactly as he planned, he’s still really happy with how everything went <3
Date Mark
- This fucker lives for Valentine’s Day
- The whole speech he gave during ISWM about all the things he planned for the date?
- Yeah, since that didn’t happen, he saved it for today
- He’s actually a real sweetheart when Actor isn’t using him as a character
- Gets you a bouquet of roses, a teddy bear, a box of your favorite kind of chocolate, one of those heart lockets with a picture of both of you in it, and a little heart that he knitted for you
- He sobs of joy and appreciation when you get him something, no matter how small it is
- He takes you to dinner, the fair, and a movie
- And you both hold hands <33
- Y’all binge watch shows and cuddle for the rest of the night
Illinois
- He may be a flirty bastard
- That’s it that’s the sentence
- He does plan an adventure for the day!
- …y’all don’t really leave bed for a while though
- Most of it is cuddling!
- He ends up just taking you to the zoo or aquarium
- He almost cries in public when you get him a gift at the gift shop
- Dinner at the zoo/aquarium food court isn’t the most glamorous, but it was perfect for both of you
- Afterwards you watch cheesy romantic movies until you fall asleep
Eric Derekson
- He made plans! He’s just incredibly nervous to tell you!
- For this reason, you made sure he knew that you’d prioritize any plans he had, but you still had your own ideas
- He shyly brought up that he wanted to have a picnic
- You loved the idea, and your lunch was spent on a blanket in the park <3
- You got him a gift and it made him feel so loved it was great
- He got you some flowers and something you’d had on a gift wishlist
- He was so afraid you wouldn’t like it but he was reassured when you hugged him
- The rest of the day was just the two of you being sweet and romantic with each other
Jameson Jackson
- Gentleman of the year, honestly
- He crocheted some hearts and a little plushie for you
- Turned on some music and danced with you for a while <3
- He made you breakfast, and you make him lunch
- Y’all watched some of yours and his favorite movies for a while
- You gave him some flowers and chocolates
- He loves the classic gifts <3
- You order from y’all’s favorite restaurant for dinner
- The rest of the night is spent chatting and watching movies

The ego's giving you their sweaters
Includes: Actor Mark, Darkiplier, Yancy, Illinois, Space Mark, Damien, Heist Mark, Date Mark, Wilford
Tumblr media
Actor Mark:
He forced you to wear one of his sweaters. He would hide yours just so he could give you one of his.
He is a jealous prick so he definitely likes you wearing his stuff so people know you are his.
I feel like his would be the most comfortable cause he would spend all his money just to make sure he could give you the best.
Tbh his would smell like makeup wipes and strong expensive calone cause he would pour that shit on there.
Overall 9/10 cause at least the smell would last long 🤷‍♀️
Darkiplier:
Tbh he probably doesn't have very many hoodies.
The only one he owns is probably a plain black one that's kinda worn down.
But like say one day you're cold and complaining about it and he just throws it at you and is like "stfu"
Warm on the inside, soft fabric on the outside 👌👌
I think its an overall 10/10 cause idk its just perfect.
Yancy:
I think he probably only have 1 hoodie cause he is in prison but he also like owns the place... so he could probably get more if he needed too.
But like he has one that is his og one. I think its like black and has some cool design on it that's kinda worn down cause he's had it so long.
It smells exactly like him and he likes to wear it for comfort. But he would easily give it to you.
One day your complaining that it's cold, next minute his giving you the sweater.
Its super comfy and also smells exactly like him so def 10/10
Illinois:
Man has one sweater and it is almost disgusting.
You saw him wear it once on a colder night. It was covered in stains, small holes everywhere and stitches. It doesn't smell bad and it felt soft when you touched it.
One night you and him are under the stars and you are freezing. to the point your shaking. He sees you by the fire all wrapped up in a blanket and he takes off the hoodie and gives it to you.
Claims that he's a big boy and doesn't need a sweater to keep him warm
Five minutes later hes clinging to you wrapped up under a blanket and as close to the fire you can be without burning.
8/10 cause the stains.
Space Mark:
Tbh if he saw you in his hoodie he would probably faint.
Its not so much a hoodie it's more like a jacket. Like yk those sports team type jackets, if you dont google it and i'll make sense.
Anyways its amazing, kinda fuzzy on the inside and it has like patches on it of things he likes. Stars, planets, chica, etc.
He doesn't wear it often cause he is usually in his space uniform.
But one night you and him are enjoying a nice sunset together (after the events of iswm) and he notices you shiver.
So he runs back to his room and comes back with two cups of coffee and his jacket.
It smells like him, has coffee and some grease stains on it. Very comfy and a little big.
10/10 love it.
Damien:
This is before wkm obv
He has like an entire closet section just for sweaters and hoodies
one day you're spending the evening at his place. during dinner Damien was his usual clumsy self (he def was) and spilled something on you. You ask to use his shower and had forgotten to pack an extra set of clothes.
So he offers you some of his. He gives you a hoodie and sweatpants that match and let me tell you. That is some of the comfyist shit you're ever gonna wear
I just feel like he is the master of comfort and just always has the comfyist clothes.
10/10 for my boy dames
Heist Mark:
Im like imagining the most detailed scene rn
Like yk when you choose the car in the heist and you fall asleep and he makes you breakfast?
that but the night before when you're falling asleep you get cold and he gives you his sweater and you're like "where tf did you get this?" but put it on anyway.
its honestly pretty comfy and keeps you pretty warm. He also secretly loves seeing you in his hoodie (remember this is right before he asked you on the date ;)
9/10 prob a basic ass hoodie but comfy and warm, serves its purpose.
Date Mark:
Another very detailed scene
we aren't gonna be basic and have it be during the movie no no, it's gonna be during the vanilla ice cream ending.
You and him are eating ice cream together and it makes you cold. So what else would a gentleman like him do than give you the jacket he was wearing.
tbh not super comfy, its part of a suit :/
so like... 6/10? it was nice of him but not comfy or warm so...
Wilford:
Come on guys yk i wouldnt forget about my little willy would you?
Tbh he has the best hoodies 1000%
He rocks the pink and all of his hoodies are pink and they look amazing!!
Also they def smell like cotton candy or some other sweet.
(they might also have a few blood stains but who cares)
anyways.... imagine you and him go out to a party or something.
some dumb guy spills a drink on your and wilford just like pulls out a hoodie randomly and like takes you to the bathroom to put it on
side note no one ever hears from that guy again but like...... thats totally unrelated...
but its comfy, smells good, looks good, 100000/10 fr fr
wilford is simply the best
I hope you enjoyed this and im def down to write more things like this if anyone has any ideas!! my request are always open

Damien x Reader x Pip poly headcanons
SFW
* You were the new kid on the block of South Park. You met Damien and Pip in elementary even beat up Eric Cartman whenever he tried to pick on Pip or Damien
* You three became very close and occasionally have tea parties on Saturday at Pip’s place. Pip always had a habit of picking up your favorite dessert for them.
* You didn’t believe Damien was the spawn of Satan until he brought you and Pip to hell so you can meet him. “Wait your dad is literally fucking Satan?” “Yep” “I was surprised the first time as well Y/n”
* Satan had ask if you were dating his son or Pip. You turn red from the questions and Pip was pretty embarrassed. “Dad! Can you fucking knock it off?” Damien grips his fork mad. “Oh Damien you don’t have to be so shy”
* Needless to say, you, Damien and Pip had been secretly dating each other since middle school and it’s been like that all the way till College.
* After a few months you all decided to make it public. Butters was a little hurt you kept it a secret but he was so happy his little buddy is finally happy
NSFW
* Damien is an aggressive top but he does bottom when he wants affection and to be dominated by you and Pip.
* Damien has his nipples pierced and he loves it when you and Pip tease his nipples. It makes him very excited.
* He into receiving oral but he loves giving it just as much. Thankfully his tongue reached yours and Pip’s deepest parts makes you both tremble in pleasure.
* Pip is switch but he’s more submissive leaning. When you three have sex with each other, damien has the tendency to leave bite marks and hickeys on your body even Pip’s.
* If Cartman happens to bully Pip in college, he does ask if you can help him destress. Damien does keep an eye out so you two can get it on in an empty classroom. Pip does make sure to cover your mouth so you don’t scream while he wrecks your guts.
* Pip loves praising you. He has a huge praise kink and loves being praised as well. But be warned he has a huge breeding kink just like Damien.
* Damien has a daddy kink and loves it when you call him daddy when he pounds you.
* Overall, intercourse between the three of you is heavily romantic and special.

Play-Wrestling the Egos | HCs
a/n: i finally acquired the braincell
taglist: @softladyhours @chaos-carnation
tw: 2 references to sex but theres nothing explicit
🖤Dark🖤
sometimes he cheats and uses the shadow void tendril thingies
but most of the time he likes to watch you struggle to push him off you
he lets you sometimes just to see you all proud and determined but then just squishes you again
if you get him while he’s not focused on Squashing You then you could maybe win if he’s tired
8 times out of 10 you are getting folded though
evil evil evil boy /aff
💙Damien💙
ALWAYS lets you win hes a gentleman
he loves seeing you so proud of yourself
although he does put up a bit of a fight so you’re even more proud when you do win
hes usually the one to initiate it
just tackles you into bed sometimes
one time you wrestled on the sofa downstairs and the poor butler almost had a heart attack he thought unsavoury activities were taking place
you both ran upstairs blushing and giggling
❤️Actor Mark❤️
always loses
even if he’s physically bigger and/or stronger than you he will lose every time because he doesnt know how to fight
he just pouts and tells you if he doesn’t get kisses he will die immediately
baabyyyyyyy you’re gonna mess up my hairrrrr
you could fold him like a wet towel and he couldn’t even do anything about it
sopping wet pool noodle of a man /aff
💛Illinois💛
“awww, darlin, you look so cute trying to be tough”
sometimes he lets you win because you look so cute all proud
but you also look cute all pouty when you lose
hes enjoying it immensely either way
but if you wear his hat he’ll be too distracted to win
but that involved stealing the hat first and he knows what you’re going to do if he gives you his hat
CHASE him for the hat
🤍Yancy🤍
lets you think you’re winning then BAM you’re underneath him and he is GRINNING
apologises with kisses
“i’m sorry angel i just love the squeaks you make when i flips youse over”
tell him hes mean and he will smother you in kisses
he will tackle you without warning if he’s consumed caffeine
🚀Engineer Mark🚀
its 50/50 with him
sometimes he’ll let you win and sometimes he will remind you about all those muscles underneath his space suit
“come on Captain, you can’t fight me off? you’re adorable. Maybe i’ll let you win next time.”
but if you REALLY try he will let you win because oh my god thats even cuter look at youuuuu
celci caught you two once and didnt speak to mark for 6 days she was absolutely disgusted /hj
to be fair she did also think you were indulging in unsavoury activities
🔪Murdock🔪
if you ask him if he wants to play wrestle he will chase you first
with no warning
“hey murdock wanna wrestle-“
*gets up and bolts towards you menacingly*
then when you’re too tired from running to fight back he gently holds you down and smiles so evil at you
awful bastard man /aff
but sometimes he lets you win if he’s really tired and you’re already in bed
he does little growls when he’s tired
he pretends to fall asleep once you think you’ve won then he flips you over and sleeps on you
nasty terrible boy /aff
🌌God of Night🌌
“why are you trying to fight me”
“because it’s fun!”
🧍🏻‍♂️
he doesn’t know what to do about this
you are pushing him and dragging him with all your strength but hes yknow a GOD so he’s just
🧍🏻‍♂️
eventually picks you up like a wet sponge and kisses your head
its like a “good effort” sticker
🏃🏻‍♂️Heehoo🏃🏻‍♂️
why would you even try this
he is winning the second you put your hand on him
you are getting tumbled around like sack of onion
one onion
your brain is the onion
if you let him he’d throw you up in the air like pizza pie
he makes sure to keep you from getting any bruises or injuries though
careful boy even if he is treating you like a tennis ball

˗ˏˋ꒰ summary ꒱ ; crying damien because he's overstimulated ?
‧₊ ᵎᵎ ☀️ pair ⋅ ˚✮ ; Damien LaVey x Male!Reader
⁺ ⛧ ; self-indulgent post because I finally got to play Monster Prom again. I don't care how niche it is today I am still posting about it !! This is also based on that one choice in the game <3
Tumblr media
Damien was too cute!
Earlier he was whining about seeing potential spoilers for "Sport of Seats" because he missed an episode due to the fact that he was gone for reasons he would not elaborate on that surely didn't involve the nearby orphanage.
But now look at him, he was crying!
You never knew you had the ability to make Prince's cry, much less the Prince of Hell of all people. "Has your brain finally turned to mush?" You whispered into his ear as you gave a particularly harsh thrust to his prostate which earned a sob from Damien.
"N-Nooo moreee....!~" Damien clawed at the bedsheets under him, his red cock leaking with cum that pooled on the white fabric of the mattress.
"Let's mess up your brain so good you won't even know how to read."
Is what you told him a few hours ago. "Clearly you need more if you're still able to form sentences." A grin formed on your lips as you pushed his head down on the bed, and snapped your hips forward on his ass, creating a loud slapping noise.
The mere sight of his winking hole almost made you cum, but you didn't. Not unless Damien begged hard enough. "A-Ah...!~ Mmmh, fuckkkk...!~" Damien bit his bottom lip as his eyes rolled back, "T-There fuck, please...! Keep hitting that fucking spot...!" He begged whorishly with a drunken smile on his face. You rose a brow at his words.
It's that easy to forget why you were mad when a good dick's fucking you, huh?
"What? This spot?" You taunted by purposefully missing it. Damien sobbed and shook his head, squirming under you while more tears rolled down his cheeks. "Y-You fucking cocksucker..!" He glanced back at you with a glare, only for it to fall when he realized you were not gonna give him what he wanted if he kept being bratty.
"Just give it to me, please, please...! I-I won't ever chase you down with a knife again...! Please just ruin me you s-shith—A-AH!~" Damien didn't even have to tell you twice! Although he begged with empty words, you gave in. You're not that mean after all.
You let go of his hair and instead placed both your hands on his hips, before going back to fucking straight into his prostate by changing the angle of your thrusts. The squelching sound that Damien's hole made was so erotic, so wet and so slippery—even the thought of recording it just made you even harder.
Damien squealed as his toes curled. You didn't even know he could make such a sound.
But hey, at least you kept your word.

Vulnerable (Darkiplier x Female Reader)
"Damien..?" You questioned, gasping at the sight of the man in front of you. A tall man wearing a black suit, his raven black hair messily swept to the side to cover half of his face, his entire body was a pale shade of grey, flickers of red and blue surrounding him while he grasped Damien's cane. The man cracked his neck as his gaze met yours, you stood frozen in place while he walked over to you, his cane tapping in sync to the sound of his footsteps. You wondered if this had been the same man you married all those years ago. Your questions were soon answered when your ears were met with a dark, distorted chuckle. His voice was much deeper than Damien's had been that's for sure.. "No, my darling. Damien was naive, trusting, innocent.. and vulnerable. No more, no longer shall I fall prey to such games again, no longer shall I abide by HIS rules..No longer shall I play HIS games. I am Darkiplier. I'll be everything Damien could and couldn't be..So you might as well just say I'm your husband my sweet, because I still am, just better~" Damien Dark says, his cold lips gently meeting your hand, a small smile forming on his lips while his deep dark, cold, dead, eyes gazed into yours.
(This was made for @dontspilltheteaplease and I might make a part 2)

Could I have Yancy and Damien (separate) with a Y/N who used to take dance lessons, and it's obvious from the way that they move that they had professional training headcanons?
I'm assuming the very similar one in my inbox was also you, and this was a rewrite (apologies if not).
Yancy:
He takes you out to a doowop, full on fifties night
His hair is all slicked back, leather jacket, and bike
You both arrive with him thinking that this'll be a fun night of stupid dancing, neither of you knowing what you're doing
However, you prove him very wrong, when you take the lead, and spin him around
It flusters him a lot, mostly because he's more impressed than anything
He makes you promise to teach him for real, for next time of course
Damien:
It's one of the many galas that you have to attend with him, losing your mind with boredom
This one has a timeslot for ballroom dancing, so you're hoping you can giggle at people tripping over their feet after a few glasses of champagne
But Damien walks over, taking your hand and kissing your knuckles, asking you to dance
You're surprised at first, but then he leads you down after you accept
He guides you into the proper position, thinking you're a novice, and you let him with a smirk on your face
Then you both move gracefully across the floor, lighting up his face when he realizes you know what you're doing
You end up on the dance floor that whole night, laughing and talking as your feet sweep you away

I am sad and lonely so I am writing a Dark x reader angst story. Here is a small snippet.
_____________________________________
The road to vengeance was paved in blood and sweat. It was a path Dark had no trouble taking. Friendships and bonds were not something he saw value in so using and killing people to get his way was a very casual thing for him. The only thing he truly wanted at the end of the day was to bestow the same suffering onto Mark as he did to everyone around him. However, despite his best efforts to focus on the task at hand on thing continued to plague his mind. Someone from the past who continued to haunt him no matter how hard he tried to forget.
The attorney. His attorney.Damiens's attorney

um i really wanna see a fic where damian takes care and looks after da. idk maybe da is sick but came to work anyways. maybe they were overwoking themself and eventually collapse. maybe they get injured somehow. just our dear mayor being concerned for them and looking after them
Tumblr media
"You're too stubborn to die."
In which Damien helps the DA in a compromised state.
TW: angst, injury, blood
Pages: 15 - Words: 6,000
[Requests: OPEN]
A regular Sunday for the mayor of Los Angeles was, surprisingly, incredibly similar to that of any other thirty-year-old working man. It was one of Damien’s only days off in the month, and he treasured them like the holy grail; if his job was to hold endless amounts of paperwork, incessant meetings with countless people, and public speeches to bore the masses and himself, then his day off would be filled with as many relaxing activities as possible. 
Damien wandered around the apartment, a watering can in one hand and his cane in the other. The doctor had long since said that he didn’t need it anymore, and that his insistence that he did was only psychosomatic, but it was more than that. To him, it was a grounding tool. If things got rough, and, in his profession, it was more of a when, he could grip tightly onto the stick and find comfort in the stability of it. Metal is not an easy material to break, and he much preferred it to messing with his jacket’s edges or cuffs. That meant, no matter how many of his veins popped through paled skin, it would always be there for him. 
Now, though, he was content. The sun was shining, the windows let a blissful breeze flow through, and there was the distant hum of the radio from the kitchen. It couldn’t be more perfect. Sundays were always this way, like entering another dimension where famine had been decimated, all wars ended with the flick of a pen, greed, pride, envy wiped off the map. Even the air he breathed felt lighter. 
There was a bounce in Damien’s step as he moved around, singing quietly along to the tune and thinking about his next projects. Getting all of the plants watered was number seven on his checklist – and, yes, it was in his back pocket while he went through the motions – but with only nine left to go, he thought he could get some recreation in. Maybe pick up a new book, you were raving on about ‘The Mysterious Rider’ yesterday, or he could swing by Celine’s place. Though, that place always did give him the creeps…
And you were going to be back in an hour. 
The memory still made him smile, how could it not? He had been so excited but so nervous to ask you on a date, he’d double-checked and triple-checked and one more check for good measure. Hell, he’d planned the day out to a T, given that you’d even say yes. But Celine had convinced him you would, so he prepared flowers, reservations, outfits, all so that nothing could go wrong. 
Then everything went wrong. He didn’t like focusing on that aspect of the story, it only made him wonder how he ever got you to go out with him again, but it all ended in a pretty fun evening, if he did say so himself. You’d assured him that it wasn’t all for naught, and that you’d had a good time, going so far as to ask if he was free a couple nights after. That one night turned into three nights, and then nights turned into days, and then, after a good few months, you’d gone right ahead and moved in together. 
This was your apartment, too, it was where you came back to every evening with a tired smile and ready to have dinner together – and this night was to be no different. 
Or Damien thought, until that hour passed, and he remained the only person in the room. But that was fine! He could hold out, and you probably only got caught in traffic or something. It just gave him time to get started on that book. It was absolutely nothing to worry about. 
After taking it gently from the shelf, he settled onto the couch, a pillow behind his head and comfortable in evening clothes. The first sentence crossed his eyes, and he took in all the information he could as he read through the first chapter. It left him with questions, but that was fine, because you still weren’t back. Another half hour passed, and when he looked back up from the pages, he noticed that he had unconsciously shifted to be angled towards the front door. He tried to tell himself that everything was alright, he didn’t have to worry, work was probably just getting the best of you. Lord knows he wasn’t one to talk.
So, Damien kept reading, and when his eyes started to strain and holding up the book was too large of a chore, he went and made a cup of coffee. This was the first time you’d been late home, and what kind of partner would he be if he was asleep when you, surely, came back. 
Minutes later, he was sipping idly at the kitchen island. The window across from him showed shimmers of orange and red, the cityscape of Los Angeles almost teasing him where he stood. You were out there somewhere, and he felt lousy not knowing where that was. 
He took another sip. 
The wall-mounted clock ticked by. Seconds felt like hours, and every one that dropped into the bucket pushed him closer to the edge. His jacket swayed on the hook, his shoes just below them. It would be so easy to get a cab over to your building and check how you’re getting on – you’d be hunched over your desk, taking a call from precinct cops who couldn’t do their jobs right, and then you’d see him, and you’d apologize for not getting back. He’d be fine with it, of course, and he’d end up helping you in the case that had its claws in you. 
Oh, but he knew that he couldn’t do that. His heart thudded in his chest, his hands shook, but he respected your boundaries. It’d only been a month since you moved in, after all, and he didn’t want to overstep anything that quickly. Heaving a not-so-relaxing sigh, he vowed that he would stay right there in the apartment until you got back, no matter how long it took you. 
By the third hour, he was starting to reconsider that. 
The soles of his shoes were burned into the wooden flooring, his pacing surely annoying the neighbors below, but he could care less. Show him that you were alive and well, and he’d stop, but he had yet to see any clue as to your wellbeing, so they’d have to deal with it. He hated this, he hated this so much. Pointless waiting and irreverent, troublesome thoughts. They had no use to him, but he didn’t know how to get rid of them. They burrowed into his mind like an infestation of roaches or disease. 
Tick, tock, tick, tock. He was going to throw that clock out of the window if he didn’t get ahold of himself. But what else was there to do? He’d completed all of his chores, even the ones he promised to leave for the next day, and he found himself waiting like a puppy at the front door. His eyes wavered over it, hoping for it to open just an inch to show he wasn’t stuck in purgatory. 
Whatever higher power there was seemed to take pity on Damien, because not two seconds later, the creak of old wood broke the ticking of the clock. He almost sprung to his feet and launched himself at you when you entered, but he held himself back, if not for decorum, then for the sight of you. You were the most gorgeous person he had ever laid eyes upon, but he was not one to lie to himself; right now, you looked terrible. Your skin tone had lightened so much that you appeared ill, and your chest was rising quicker than before. Were you sick or had working three hours after your shift finally got to you? Damien didn’t know, and he didn’t care. Taking care of these symptoms was his top priority. 
“Darling?” he called out, still restraining himself from rushing to your side. 
You didn’t answer. Instead, you lugged yourself towards the bedroom, completely dismissing hunger. You were far too tired to think about that, the bed, comfy cushions, and a warm blanket calling to you. 
Damien caught your arm before you could get too far, though, with a concerned grimace playing on his lips. “Are you alright?” 
He sounded worried, and that was the last thing you wanted – never mind the fact that it was well-warranted – so you heaved a tiny smile and muttered, “I’m fine, love, just tired.” 
He still wasn’t satisfied, that was obvious, but you weren’t paying attention to that. A kiss on his forehead from you, a noise of discontentment from him, and you were on your way to the bedroom, trying to focus on your feet as to not trip over warping wood. Everything was slowly fading away at the edges of your vision, consumed by blackness and turning the rest fuzzy. 
You knew exactly why this was happening, you knew it was bad, but no way in hell would you let Damien know. You loved him more than anything on the earth, but he was bound to worry about you more than necessary. You’d be fine, you silently promised him. You had to be. 
Nearly six hours later, the moon was high in the sky, casting a shimmer of gray dust across the landscape. Light reflected off of windows, night walkers stumbled over rocks, and dogs howled in the alleyways. Patters of rain caressed against the city, warning of a dreary but calm morning. 
Even with that promise, Damien couldn’t sleep. He had work in the morning, his day off having ended at the stroke of midnight, and yet the thought of leaving you in the apartment was horrifying. You had knocked out the second your head hit the pillow, leaving him to his thoughts, and they centered around just one thing: were you alright? He couldn’t believe you were just tired, since you’d woken up bright and early the morning before. He was almost insulted you thought he’d fall for that, but he was too worried to mind. 
He dragged a hand through his hair. It tickled at the nape of his neck, though he hardly cared. What if something was wrong? Really wrong? His heart thrummed against his ribcage, like if it hit hard enough, you’d wake up and tell him what was wrong. But his ribs didn’t crack, and you didn’t wake up, and Damien was left sitting in the armchair by the window with tired eyes. This wasn’t doing any good, and the sun was due to rise in a few hours; he figured he might as well make you both some breakfast. 
Damien shuffled out of the bedroom, a dark robe swaying across the floor and his cane stepping beside him. He held it tight while he made his way to the kitchen, where he noticed blurry chatter. He started confused, which quickly morphed into fear, and then his cheeks brightened in silent embarrassment. What he had thought was a robber was just the radio he had forgotten to shut off. He was glad you weren’t awake to see him creep around the corner, stick raised to thwack however was in there. 
He turned the volume down and went to work. After so many times missing breakfast, Damien wasn’t sure what to make, so he decided on the only thing he knew how to decently cook – waffles, and even then, there was a chance they would come out burnt. 
The crack of eggs and dust of flour was comforting in a way to him that only a childhood meal could be. In the earliest hours of the day, there would be no consequence to adding a gram more sugar than needed or cooking them for a second too long. The waffle iron steamed and sizzed in front of him once the batter was poured on, almost making him laugh. He let himself smile for the first time that day, the sense of warmth and lightness filling him. 
“It has come to our attention that – last night, at the Dimmock Public Health Centre – the district attorney of Los Angeles was shot in an attempted assassination—”
Damien’s smile collapsed. 
“—The D.A was rushed back to a car that was seen heading away from the scene, while police were contacted to find the assassin. We have not heard back from our sources about their wellbeing, but we have been assured that they are no longer in danger. Despite this, there has been speculation as to their current location and the reaction of federal agents—” 
His own heartbeat cut off the radio, pounding against his head like an overzealous drummer. The smell of burnt food wafted into his nose, his vision toppled over the edge, his hands sweat, his feet moved before his mind could catch up. You weren’t ill, you weren’t overworked, you were shot. And he didn’t realize, and you didn’t tell him, and you weren’t waking up. 
You weren’t waking up. 
His cane slammed against the footboard, but you didn’t stir, not even a huff. He would have begged for you to groan or berate him or say anything, but you didn’t. You stayed quiet, and Damien’s breathing grew louder. 
He tossed himself to your side, strew the bedsheets across the floor and saw, red as a rose, blood. It seeped into the fabric, like bacteria overcoming a wound. God, your wound. Normally, he would ask your permission to lift your shirt, but this was urgent, so he disregarded the crimson staining his hands and pulled the hem up. 
Tears flooded his eyes as fear flooded his heart. A lazy medical patch had been slapped onto the entry hole, half of it having peeled off already and the other bled through. Damien had never trusted the medical professionals present during speeches, and this only deepened his distaste for them – but he’d deal with them later. For now, he had to wake you up. 
First, he whispered shakily, “Come on, wake up, dear.” 
No response. He tried again. 
“Dear, please.”
No response. 
“C’mon, you have to wake up, please.” 
No response—
A cough. 
You were alive, you were panicked, but you were alive. Eyes shot open and limbs rushing to get you out of bed, but you were stopped short by your own hiss. It felt like you had been shot again, more tissue and muscle ripped through with no regard for the nerves there – it made you think the bullet had been laced with something, hellfire, poison, but no. Dismally, you remembered the paramedics removing the metal as quick as they could, but speed was favored over kindness. The hole pricked again in response. 
Coming down from the small adrenaline high, your eyes focused back in on Damien, who kneeled in front of you. He looked worse for wear, and you wondered if he had been injured, too. This wasn’t true, of course, and the drop of his shoulders gave you some relief, though the slight wet patches dripping onto his cheeks had you furrowing your brows. 
“A-are you okay?” you mumbled, tentatively grasping his hand. 
A weak chuckle tumbled out of him, fading like the whizz of a stone dropped down a cavern. He squeezed your hand tighter, remaining wary of your state, and asked, “Are you?”
Your attempt to nod was interrupted by a rack of coughs shaking your very body. They didn’t stop, not even when pain splintered away from your wound and all breath vacated your lungs. You weren’t fine, that much was obvious, but, when you’d calmed down from the fit, you settled on staying quiet. 
Damien had been your friend for the majority of your life, but, after a year at the very most, it was obvious how much he worried. If you told him there was a crack in the pavement, he’d cross the street to avoid tripping – and if you told him that you were at risk of passing out from pain, you’d be suffocated from his fear. He was such a mother hen; the thought nearly made you laugh but you stopped yourself before you could be overwhelmed by coughs again. 
The man sighed at your silence. Unbeknownst to you, not giving him an answer was making him more scared as the seconds ticked by. He pushed away stray hairs that had fallen into your face, trying to see the truth in your eyes. Comforting, obviously masking injury, you stared right back. 
“We have to get you to the hospital.”
If it were Damien in your place, you’d agree in a heartbeat, but you were the one lying in bed, blood sticking clothes to your side. Your partner, however, was the mayor of Los Angeles, they could barely go a day without him. You didn’t want to risk taking up his precious time, when some disaster could strike that he’d have to report on. In your mind, it made the most sense for you to go about your daily lives and for you to just deal with it throughout the day. The shot wasn’t that bad, and you’d seen bills for a paper cut before.
Considering this, you found it in yourself to clear your throat and reply, “No, we don’t, I’ll be fine.” 
“We have to get your wound checked out, I mean,” he gestured vaguely to the stained area, “those medics were clearly frauds- they didn’t even dress it right, and it’s coming off already, and you’re bleeding—” 
You pulled his hands closer to you, fingers curling around his own in a silent reminder to calm down. His volume was steadily rising, which meant his heart rate was, too, and you knew how he got when he was overwhelmed. These past hours had already put more strain on him than you had wanted. 
“I’ll be fine,” you repeated, offering a smile. He responded in kind, but his was more placating than agreeable, “if it was anything to worry about, I’d be in the hospital, now, wouldn’t I?”
Damien mulled this over in his mind. On one hand, your logic was sound, as always, and arguing with you had long since proved a fruitless venture. On the other, he didn’t like the thought of leaving you to your devices, as if you’d never been injured in the first place. What if something happened to you and you didn’t notice? With nothing else to do, he decided on a compromise.
“Okay,” he conceded, and, for a second, you thought yourself safe – you might have even gotten down to the offices for some paperwork – but Damien’s hands darted to the discarded sheets and re-tucked them around you. 
Damien was going to look after you himself.
He was scarily efficient in how he moved around the room, gathering spare pillows, blankets, anything that would make you feel more comfortable in the bed. By the end of his little escapade, you looked more like a bird in a nest than a human. You couldn’t deny how proud he looked, though, and it would be easy to let your eyelids slip down for a few more minutes…
But you snapped to your senses and summonsed your will to talk. “Don’t you have to go into work today?”
He paused, back turned to you, at his position drawing the blinds. “…Not necessarily.”
“Damien,” you drawled.
The hairs on the nape of his neck pricked up and his face felt the power of a furnace. “Well,” spinning around, he did poorly at hiding his blush, “technically, yes, I do – but the office can handle work without me, just for today.” He slid into place beside you, resting a hand onto your shoulder. “You are more important.”
Normally, you’d jump at the opportunity to spend more time with your partner. Your schedules weren’t exactly kind in allowing you to be together, and moments with him were treasured more than those without. However, at this second, your eyebrows furrowed, and your lips pouted. Most of the time, you’d be forced to get rest, confined to bed while Damien ran errands to ease your weary soul. That was the last thing you wanted, and the only way to convince him to hold back would be to get him out of the apartment entirely. Besides, this wasn’t as big a deal as he was making it out to be, you were sure.
As if he could sense your resistance, Damien whispered, “I still have three hours until I go. I’ll take care of you, and then we’ll assess the situation.”  
Sneaky. Damien might have been reserved and shy in public, but you have seen you’ve seen your fair share of his mischievous, sly side. Despite hardly ever getting practice, he was worryingly good at getting what he wanted via cunning means. You both respected and feared that aspect of him. 
He left a kiss on your forehead, now, and rose from the bed to restart his preparations. If he had the time, he would’ve crafted some kind of checklist, but getting you a glass of water and medical equipment was top priority. That, and salvaging what he could from those burning waffles. 
When he was back at your side again, your eyes having slipped closed once or twice, skin being tugged away from muscle caught your attention. The patch had been badly applied, but adhesive remained against the wound that meddled with blood slowly spurting out of the cracks. Divots sprang red and raised flesh curled around the hole like a mountain range. It made Damien’s stomach squirm and flip, but he focused his expression to clean the area.
As you looked down at the man, ruffled dark hair a mess from stressing and still in his robe, your heart swelled with love. He was your partner, and it was crazy to think you were his. Even after four months, everything felt like a haze, a dream you were scared to wake up from, because you knew nothing would come close to this. Carefully, you shifted your arm to caress Damien’s cheek.
He glanced back up at you quizzically, a look you only returned with a smile. Shaking his head, he returned to his work slightly more comforted than he was before. 
Nearly half an hour passed in this fashion; Damien patted off the dried blood, replaced that medical path with a bandage around your waist, and managed to get your mind off of the wound with excerpts from ‘The Mysterious Rider’. You appreciated everything he was doing, down to the way he’d pause when he noticed your eyes drooping. Most of the time, you would shake yourself awake again with a yawn, but there were the odd times when you felt yourself drift off for seconds at a time. These bouts of fatigue never lasted long, and, while you were thankful for the brief rest, the expression on Damien’s face had you staying awake longer. 
Every time the curtains closed even slightly, a mix of emotions spurred in him, melting over his eyes, and giving you a first-row seat to his thoughts. Half of him was glad to see you comfortable enough in this nest, it liked seeing you warm and sappy – but the other half was always scared that it might have been the last time you’d close your eyes, as if he hadn’t done a good enough job to keep you alive, and it would be all his fault that you… slipped. But that all wiped away when they opened again, revealing your familiar and welcoming irises. Full of life. 
Even though you both knew how he felt, he prefaced the start of the next chapter with, “You can fall asleep, you know.” 
You couldn’t deny the fact that you were tired – getting shot would do that to you – but worrying Damien any more than he already was, was at the bottom of your bucket list. So, you lightly shook your head and replied, “Nope, I’m so awake, I could—” 
You were, helpfully, cut off by a yawn. Damien looked at you from his armchair, unimpressed, but you continued, nevertheless, “—I could finish a case. Maybe go back to work, in fact.” 
At this, he became alert, the sharp spike of fear prodding him in the side. “No, not yet.” 
“Damien,” you pleaded.
“I said ‘no’.” As he stood, his cane felt like an earthquake against the wooden flooring. Inwardly, you sighed; you’ve never liked getting into arguments with him, mostly because he was normally the one in the right, but it was unavoidable. Damien had work in two hours, and getting there was a quarter of that, and, before that, there was changing into his uniform. He was neglecting doing any of these to take care of you, and you found it hard not voicing your opinion about that. 
“Look,” you started, sitting up straighter in the bed, “how about we do a test run?”
Damien stopped himself from getting through the doorway to listen to what you had to say. Still, he was thinking through getting a cold rag in case of a fever, but most of his attention was directed towards your proposition.
You continued, tentatively, “You go on a walk, alright?” Disagreement stirred inside him the second ‘go’ came out of your mouth, which you could see and began battling immediately, “And we’ll see how I get on alone.” 
He thought over the scenario, practically moving his head to the direction of his thoughts, until he rushed to your side and kneeled down. Your hand was soon encapsulated in his fingers, warm and worried. “What if something goes wrong?”
“It won’t,” you promised, leaning forward to peck at his lips. Really, you couldn’t be sure it would be alright, but it was worth trying just to see the blissful and hope-ridden look on Damien’s face. “It’s not like I’m going to die if you’re away for two seconds, love.”
With one more sigh and a slightly longer kiss for good luck, he began to get ready for a walk outside.
Five minutes in, Damien was spiraling. 
His tolerance for being away from you had plummeted since the day before, and the glum of the streets was getting to him. It was indeed raining, turning his polished boots gritty from dust swept through the pathways, and it was difficult to discern what were droplets from the sky or from his skin. Despite the cold brushing against him, the worry he was experiencing was sending him into overdrive. He couldn’t tell if he was warm or cool if he was still walking or if he had made it past the first few steps to your apartment. It felt like he was having withdrawals, but there was no way he’d go back. Not only would he still be scared for you, but the disappointment you’d feel seeing him was something he’d do anything to avoid. 
So, he took in a deep breath and tried to steady his beating heart. It was horrible, but he put himself through it. For you. He hoped you’d be proud, but he also hoped you’d be asleep when he returned. 
The day was… nice, he supposed. Not many people were out this early, a few older gentlemen he passed with a wave, but the most popular of the species were stray dogs. One in particular he saw often when he was heading to or from work. The street had a nickname for the poor thing, and they’d elected to keep it there with spare scraps from the table or chew toys out of old pig’s ears. Benjie, if he remembered correctly, a golden lab that had been around for the last three years. 
Fondly, Damien thought back on when you and the dog first interacted. He knew you loved pets, especially the over-active, wholesome ones. You’d requested him stay with you as soon as you saw him, even wagered you’d get him groomed and trained into a proper house dog. He rolled his eyes, you patted on his arm and vowed that, one day, he’d be the most pampered pup in all of Los Angeles. 
But that had yet to come to fruition. Benjie was still out on the street, taking leftovers of roast dinners and maintaining a rough coat. Maybe, when this whole ideal was over, Damien would bring him home. 
It was with that thought that a whole new cavalcade of bad ideas flooded his mind. They stopped him dead in his tracks, and – following that them – paled him beyond recognition. He flopped against a brick house, steadied his cane in the ridges of cobblestone and thought back on the very reason why you were in this position to begin with. 
There was an attempted assassination. Someone had attempted to assassinate you. It hadn’t settled with him, until now, that someone powerful had hired a killer to end your life. And they had nearly succeeded, and you had nearly died, and—
And if they weren’t able to do it the first time, who was to say they wouldn’t try again? 
Damien’s vision blurred together, buildings crumbling together and horses in the distance clicking like the trigger of a gun. He had to get back home, to you. God knows what could’ve happened to you in the time he was gone. You’d said you’d be fine, sure, but you were suffering from massive amounts of blood loss, and he loved you, but you were never the most logical person in the first place. 
His feet were moving regardless of thought or will to. His eyes were clouded with possibilities and his mind overtaken by sorrow. If you weren’t okay when he got back, it would be all his fault. Why did he have to be such an idiot? He should have stayed with you, and he didn’t, and now you were suffering the consequences of his stupid choices. 
He stumbled across the stones, plucked his cane from holes and brushing off the coattails of early risers. They were confused, but he didn’t care; all that mattered was getting back to you as quick as possible. Tears pricked up in the corners of his eyes, those wide windows scanning the street for your front door, and when he came to it, he all but ripped it off its hinges in order to get in. 
Going two steps at a time was too slow for him but falling back down the stairs would be of no use to anyone. Still, he pushed himself to get to your apartment at a record pace. One mantra echoed through his mind while he struggled to your front door. Please, be alright. It was wish, to you, to any higher power, to anything that could better the chances. 
His heart plummeted in his chest when he saw you lying on the ground.
Damien’s eyes whirled around, inspecting, for a second, for any hint as to what happened. Your arms were flattened out in front of, appearing to have cushioned your fall, and the only blood visible was what had leaked through your bandage. 
Nevertheless, he fell to his knees next you, tilted your head up and looked for any other sign of injury. Hope overcoming horror, you seemed okay. Passed out, but okay, so he took his time in carefully drawing a hand up and down your body. Your heartbeat was steady and fine, your skin was barren of unexpected blemishes, and your eyelids were just beginning to flutter open again. 
“Damien…?”
The second that he heard your voice, Damien captured you in a tight hug. Of course, at a hiss of pain from you, he pulled back, but you were going nowhere. The strict shift in temperature from the outside had him in whiplash and waking up with your back against the floor was doing you no better. He buried his head in your neck, both to keep you as close as possible and hide the tears beginning to flow. Not entirely sure of what was happening, you pat his back with one hand and cradled his head with another.
You shushed him and pecked at where you could, in the midst of whispering, “Hey, it’s all okay. I told you I wouldn’t die.” 
Damien sobbed. 
You held him tighter, an embrace solid enough to assure him you were really and truly there. 
Exhale shivering in the air, he mumbled against you, “N-no, you’re… oh, you’re too stubborn to die.”
You smiled, ignoring the situation and thanking you lucky stars that you’d landed such a loving man. 
“I’m here, love, everything’s okay.” Another kiss, and he lifted his head up to stare at you. Despite you being the one to have been shot, have passed out cold on the ground, you were comforting him. How had he ever gotten such a kind soul? He didn’t know, but he knew he was grateful, and that he’d do anything to keep you. 
Shakily, he muttered, “Come on.” He secured his arm underneath your shoulder and lifted you to stand, against the twitching of his cane. The weight of two people was forgiven when you were up fully, and he gently sat you down at the island while he gathered your shoes and coat. “We are getting you to the hospital,” he announced, and that was that.
Being the mayor of Los Angeles had some drawbacks; long working days, the eyes of the press, social obligations – but there were definitely some advantages, not least of all being able to order anything with impunity, whether that was a public car, table at a restaurant, or being to stay in the room while nurses flittered around your partner. At this point, leaving your side felt more hellish than he expected hell to be, and, though he hated abusing his power, he was not about to wait in the hallway for the next hour. 
So, by your side Damien stayed. The nurses poked and prodded at you, uncaringly prescribing you unlabeled medication, and redoing the bandages. He wasn’t ashamed to say he relaxed when they left you along, finally. At least he understood when enough was enough – or, he thought so, because if he told you that, you’d probably regard him unimpressed.
He caught your hand – noticeably less pale than it was before – in his own, and cradled it against his chest, as if fearing you’d disappear when let go. But, with you safely inside a hospital and treated by professionals, he could finally calm down. His nerves had been going haywire ever since you’d been late to dinner, but they found no reason to not settle down under his skin. 
“You know, I love you.”
Damien perked up before sending a confused glance your way. Why were you telling him now? Was there something that he didn’t know? Had you been shot, had someone tried to kill you again—
“I nearly died yesterday, and,” you laughed awkwardly, as if you were telling a crude joke, “I kept thinking, what if I never get to tell you again?” 
Now, he was fully turned to you, and it was then that he saw you were started to cry. He’d never seen you look like this before, wet cheeks and red eyes. His eyebrows involuntarily bent, and he squeezed your hand tighter. 
You continued on, “I don’t want you to forget how I feel, and I think that if I had to live without you, I—” You cut yourself off with a sob. 
Without a second thought, Damien moved to sit next to you on the bed, bringing you into his chest and cradling you as you cried. He peppered some kisses along your ear, neck, anywhere that could comfort you. He thanked his reputation for getting you a private room, lest you have to deal with people looking in to see the mayor and the district attorney communicating affection. 
“I love you, too,” he responded, tone having never been more sincere. 
You stayed like that until the nurses came back in, singing praises of Damien’s handiwork and pointing out your conditions. You would have to stay for a while longer, and you didn’t miss the proud smirk on your partner’s face when they told you that you should’ve come in sooner. Still, you laughed, rolled your eyes, and kissed him on the cheek. That normally shut him up, and this time was no exception. 
Sighing, he sat back in his own chair, hand still caressing yours. “Do you still want me to go back to work?” he teased.
You brought Damien’s hand to you face, planted a well-intentioned kiss on the upper part of his hand, and winked. “Never.”
He felt himself lucky for being in a hospital; he was sure he could have died from a heart attack right there and then. 
[Thank you so much for requesting - I'm sorry this took so long, but I'm glad that I got it out in the end! Gotta say, when I saw that I was allowed to injure the DA, I was already scheming. It did suck that I couldn't put a heart-rate monitor joke in though, since they hadn't been invented yet, but eh, the trade off is that we get nervous Damien waiting for you to come home. Again, thanks for requesting]

-I can imagine him walking over to your place, stepping through the door, looking at you and just going dead silent. Pulling out the hairbrush slowly.
-…This ends with you sitting in his lap as he tends to your fur and gives you many, *many* tips on how to maintain it. 
-Depending how you two’s dynamic is, I can see these self care nights either being a sort of “secret” between you two (which, it’s spooky high. I figure things ain’t gonna be secret for long.), it being treated like an inside joke (aka you teasing him and Damien vehemently denying it), or no one really believes it outside of Damien’s friend group.
-You do… a lot of things to prove yourself.
-Climbing tall things, fighting, talking back to that one teacher… 
-It’s fun to watch, but Damien gets worried about you.
-100% stays with you on full moons. 
-He *is* going to try to pet you when you’re fully Wolf. Do not try to stop him. It’s pointless. He is determined to pet you at least once.
❀❀❀❀
Vera:
-Thinks it’s cute how defensive you get over your height when she teases you.
-She May tease you, yes, but it never goes beyond teasing, despite how her word choice and tone may come off. Though, before dating, you figured out that that’s… sort of just how she speaks.
-She’s got the opposite of fur, so she doesn’t know much about fur care, but you know who does? Valerie. So she ends up asking her sister about fur care. If mentioned in public, her cheeks will go slightly pink, and she’ll say something about how being presentable is important. (Don’t be fooled- she actually cares a whole lot about you, and wants to make sure you’re taken care of. …Also, she’s heard Valerie cussing up a storm in the washroom before over her fur, so…)
-probably has gifted you high end fur-care stuff.
-Will scratch behind your ears without fear. To others it may look slightly menacing when you’re in wolf form, but you’re feeling allllllll the affection and love. 
-A little scritch behind the ears when you’re in wolf form is one of the only ways Vera will show affection in public, since I admittedly hc her not to be super into PDA
-The way that you perk up and your tail wags when you see her always makes her smile a little. Honestly, she won’t say it out loud due to her pride, but it makes her happy.
-Carries around something you can chew on in case you need it. She’s a gorgon, and she’s got snakes, she understands the need to bite things, and she won’t judge you in the slightest.
-if you’re shorter than her? Oh she definitely picks you up occasionally.
-pets, head scritches, and belly rubs when you’re in wolf form and you’re both in private? Yes.
-In private together, she finds herself combing her fingers through your hair. She enjoys the feeling. It’s very soft. A feeling that’s different from the scales and snakes.
-If you plan to fight someone and tell her ahead of time? She’ll absolutely gather blackmail and other dirt on them to assist you on the more… psychological side of warfare.
-She’s very cunning and sly, and knows what to do.
-I will not lie, Valerie probably saw you guys getting together coming from miles away lol and did she bet on it? …perhaps. 
-If you’re the type to go a tad… berserk, perhaps even… crazy on full moons, you bet she’ll have a room ready for that.
-Vera’s snakes reaching over to lay on you because you’re warm due to the fur isn’t a odd occurance. At first, Vera was embarrassed, and a tad annoyed at her snakes developing this habit because it made her look soft, then, one time, when you two were alone, she tried it, and… well, now she tends to lean into you for warmth during cuddles too.
-…You’re sworn to absolute secrecy about this, and I mean absolute, but she actually has fallen asleep on you a couple of times while cuddling. Between managing Oberlin enterprises and it’s many venues, school, and… other things, it’s not surprising she’s fallen right asleep on you before.

Reader and egos as love tropes
Tumblr media
So basically I looked up love tropes and I'm gonna be writting the egos that I think fit into them :)
Rivals:
I'm thinking like Actor Mark after the events of WKM and like you guys go for each others throats but you were in love with him before WKM and you still kinda are.
Maybe also Dark but not so much in my brain.
God x worshiper:
Obviously god of night. He is literally a god and you are his worshiper. Do I even need to say more??
Has a dark side × loves them anaway:
Obviously Dark. Like you were there for WKM and after the events you always find a way to go back to him because you love him but he thinks you shouldnt cause hes evil and you're like "stfu"
Dumbasses in love:
Wilford x reader%
I think this one fits it perfectly. There is not much else to write about it. Just when I think of this trope that is exactly what I think about.
Sunshine x sunshine protecter:
Yancy x reader and probably Dark x reader.
I feel like for Yancy it could go either you being the sunshine or him being the sunshine I think it works both ways.
For dark he is definitely the sunshine protector. I can just imagine you're talking to someone and hes just standing behind you giving them a death glare.
Super cocky × tried not to fall for them but did anyways:
Illinois x reader. Man is so cocky. Like Imagine you are trying so hard not to think about him and his stupid smile or about how much you would love for him to hold you that you try to avoid him during adventures. He catches on to why its happening and then one day he just like kisses you or something idk. Idk about you guys but if that happened to me I'd just about die.
Friends to lovers:
Yancy x reader, Damien x reader, Head engineer x reader. I think this fits so many egos but these are my top three. Like when you first meet them you guys get along really well and become best friends but eventually you both catch yourselves falling for the other. Then you guys get together and you are the happiest ever.
Second chance:
Tbh I love this idea with Dark. Like Imagine you and Damien you're together or married if you would. But then everything goes down in WKM and you lose him. A while later you run into Dark and you instantly see Damien in him. At first Dark is against starting anything with you but he has Damiens heart and his heart calls for you so you start dating Dark and maybe get married again, if you will.
Fake Dating:
Damien x reader. This is before WKM. Imagine he is sick and tired of people trying to hook him up with their daughters or whatever at parties and one day he says he has a wife. Many people are shocked and they start bugging him about it. They ask for his wife's name and he says your name by mistake. They say that next party he has to bring you so now hes trying to explain what happened to you. You agree to be his fake wife for the night. You both have an amazing night and at the end of the night as he is bringing you home he starts confessing and stuff and then you kiss him.
Flirt x oblivious:
Illinois x reader. He is very flirty but you are kinda dumb and just don't pick up on it. He literally would say he loves you and you're just like "I love you too!" But he can tell that you mean it in a platonic way. Eventually when you confess to him this is how it goes.
"Look, I've liked you for so long but I was scared that you didnt feel the same way"
"I LITERALLY HAVE BEEN FLIRTING WITH YOU FOR MONTHS"
"Friends do that"
"I SAID I LOVED YOU"
"Friends do that"
"what about that one time when we were walking through a narrow path and we almost kissed while you were pressed against me?"
"Okay maybe friends dont do that..."
Overthinker x never thinks:
Head engineer Mark x reader. Let's be honest. There is not a single thought going on in Head engineer Mark's head. With the captain on the other hand thinks to much. There is not a single second that they aren't thinking about something. Especially when they think about something going wrong with the ship. Luckily for Mark the captain is there to think for the both of them.
"You do realize that it's not supposed to be like that?"
"What do you mean? Was it not always like that??"
Talks x listens:
Head engineer Mark x reader. Kinda goes back to the last one. I feel like there are many times that the captain and Mark are together and he will just be rambling.
"Oh, I'm sorrry captain, I dont mean to be a bother with my rambling."
"No, I want to know why you hope the new plant has a beautiful sky."
Long distance:
Yancy x reader. I'm thinking like during iswm. Reader is up in space doing Captain stuff and they miss Yancy so much. They told him that they were going to space camp cause they didnt want to explain what was actually going on. In case he started to worry. But they found a way to still keep in contact and write letters. It was tough not getting to see him in person but they knew when they got home Yancy would be able to come with them.
Temporarily one sided:
I feel like this one could fit many egos but I like Yacny x reader the most.
So you stayed in the prison with him and you guys were really close. You shared a cell and spent all day with each other. You had fallen for Yancy. It was easy too. He was clingy in a good way and always made you feel heard and comfortable. You didnt know how to tell him. He didn't realize you're feelings and he didn't recognize his at first. He didn't think it was love. He didnt really know what love was cause he had been starved of it for so long. Tiny helped him figure out and after awhile he told you.
Fell first x fell harder:
This but with Damien.
You and Damien were very close. He was you childhood best friend and now you worked by his side. His crush on you definitely started around you guy's teen years. Mark and William definitely teased him for it and Celine tried to convince him to tell you. But he never did. Around the time you guys graduated high school, you started to fall for him. You were completely smitten by him. Confused by how you went this long without noticing. It was hard to keep it in, so you told Celine.
"Omg finally. Tell him. He is in love with you and has been for years!"
After you did and you guys got together it was easy to tell that you were completely in love with him. You're guy's friends (Will and Mark) teased you by saying you were worse then Damien. It was true. You fell so hard for that man. (We all did. He's so pretty)
Workaholic x clingy:
I think this one fits Damien x reader and head engineer Mark x reader.
For Damien he is the workaholic and you are clingy. Like he'll come home from work and be like "I have work to do."
"Is it due tomorrow?"
"No."
"Then we can take a nap first."
And if the work is do tomorrow you'll but wrap up in his lap while he gets it done. Usually you fall asleep while he's working and he'll carry you to bed after.
For head engineer Mark you are the workaholic and he is clingy. You can not get work done around him. Especially if it's late at night. He will beg you to go to bed with him or pay attention to him and if that doesnt work he will pick you up and carry you to bed or away from your work.
That is all of them. I plan on writting actual stories for some of them so expect that. If there is any that you just want me to write let me know and I probably will if I wasn't already planning on doing it. Also I found the best photo of Damien earlier and I want to share it with you.
Tumblr media
ISN'T HE BEAUTIFUL!!!!! I WANT TO GIVE THIS MAN THE BIGGEST SMOOCH!! God I love him so much.

Damien being so touch starved and needy that he does whatever he can to get you to fuck him.
Whether that be teasing you, making underhanded little comments, or brushing his hand against a sensitive spot so you'll get fed up and fuck him; only to completely fall apart whenever he receives even the slightest bit of touch.
You slipping your hand up his shirt, and him whimpering so needily as you do..
Quite the lovely imagine, I think.
Damien probably sounds really pretty whimpering.

cuddly affectionate hcs
a/n: what is up my crunky crew. i wanted a hug so i wrote this
tw: mention of horniness w/ illi, very very slight angst (mention of a fear w/ yancy), swearing + use of the word whore (not in a negative way)
🖤 Dark 🖤
this man acts like an actual housecat
he acts all uninterested about affection at first and probably teases you a little if you ask him for hugs
but as soon as you actually do hug or cuddle him? oh my god hes so touch starved he is not letting you go
he didn’t realise just how much he needed soft and romantic affection, it had been years
once he knows how much he actually likes hugs, he will just find you during the day and hold you
even if you’re busy, hes still gonna hold you
but only in private; he doesn’t like pda unless its hand holding or just a quick kiss
but as soon as you’re alone? it’s cuddle time babeyyyy
he likes resting his chin on your head or shoulders, especially with you in his lap
he will start subconsciously stroking your arms or waist if you’re laying down with him
he might purr…. if you get him relaxed enough
but be sure to never bring it up because he’ll try to conceal it next time
poor boy is embarrassed, bless him
💙 Damien 💙
he absolutely NEEDS cuddles when hes tired
you can easily get him to stop working and come to bed by just texting him “come cuddle?” he will be there in seconds
he loves to lay on you while you play with his hair
he will fall asleep in 5 minutes if you pet him honestly
is also like a huge cuddly house cat that constantly needs affection (Dark gets it from him)
he loves to hold hands
the size difference, the touch of your skin, just the image of your hand in his gives him butterflies
if your hands are ever remotely cold he is just !!! darling !! i must warm your hands up :))
he does like pda, but it’s best to keep things appropriate since he’s mayor and all
but he still can’t stop himself from holding your hand no matter who’s around
❤️ Actor ❤️
this man is so needyyyy
you often wake up with him half way on top of you fast asleep
he has cuddling stages during the night
usually you’ll go to sleep spooning or with your head on his chest
then if you wake up during the night he’ll be clinging to you like a koala (good luck trying to get up to pee if you need to)
and in the morning hes laying sideways over your torso like a beefy blanket
or hes just ,. on the floor. idk either man he just be like that sometimes
and if you can’t lift him up and put him back in bed, just join him on the floor
hell think its sososo endearing but is more concerned about your comfort
whenever you cuddle it will probably lead to making out
hes just so thirsty honestly
he loves spooning you and holding you tight
his favourite cuddle time is when he comes back from a day on set and you’re both sleepy and you fall asleep on the couch in each other’s arms
then benjamin wakes you and you both shuffle away to bed giggling
pda? oh baby! hes all about it
he does not care what anybody thinks he just wants kisses
but he will definitely adhere to your own boundaries
🤍 Yancy 🤍
you are this mans teddy bear
he hates sleeping without you now
if he’s on parole and you two live together/hes staying over, even if hes about to pass out on the floor he will not go to bed unless you do as well
hed rather fall asleep in an uncomfortable spot than get into bed alone
he holds you against his chest and kisses your head and neck so softly
he never holds you too tightly
he has a fear of accidentally hurting people, especially you, because hes so big and strong and rough but hes just a gentle giant once you get to know him
so he holds you so gently and sweetly as if you would break if he held on any tighter
pda he likes is kisses on the cheek and hand holding, not much more
he prefers keeping affection private, unless someone is trying to hit on you
he will literally just walk up to you and kiss you and smile at whoever was flirting with you
hes protective and doesn’t want someone taking you away from him
hell probably blush a little afterwards lol
💛 Illinois 💛
he makes a great pillow, honestly
his chest is comfy and warm and he puts his hand on your head if you sleep on him
is secretly a fan of sleeping with his head on your chest or stomach
he will never admit it but you have woken up to it multiple times
snuggling to keep warm on adventures is his favourite thing
hes pretty used to the cold, but if you’re not then he will gladly wrap you up in as many blankets as possible and hold you tight
he loves to fluster your and make you hide your face in his chest
he thinks it’s the cutest thing in the world
hes good with pda as long as you are
spooning often results in him getting hard oops
what can i say hes a horny guy
🚀 Engineer Mark 🚀
he needs cuddles so bad
hes stressed and works too hard and just needs some good love !!!!
he always peppers your face and neck and shoulders with kisses when you’re alone together
he wouldn’t mind a little pda but it’s all up to you really
he likes to let people know you’re together, with you being so strikingly beautiful and handsome and gorgeous
sometimes you have to remind him to keep it professional oops
“baby!! UM. I MEAN- CAPTAIN!”
“hey yn- AH, hey captain,”
“honey could you- CELCI GET OUT OF MY ROOM”
he doesn’t mean to be like that on purpose, he just loves you so muchhhh it makes him a little silly sometimes
🔪 Murdock 🔪
you would be surprised how much this man likes cuddling
cuddles and hugs make him feel like he’s protecting you and keeping you safe
he is secretly a little bit of a shy man with affection
he doesn’t do pda unless someone is flirting with you or making you uncomfortable
even then it’s just an arm around your shoulders or waist and a glare at whoever is speaking to you
in private he pretends he doesn’t need or even like affection, but when you do touch him he just melts immediately
he likes cuddling in bed facing each other, kissing softly every now and just being comfy and relaxed
he likes to shower with you; it’s not always sexual he just likes the vulnerability and warmth
he likes to go to sleep spooning you
he holds you pretty tight, not uncomfortably, but noticeably tight
you’re his teddy bear
🌌 God of Night 🌌
he ALWAYS wants you in his lap so he can kiss your neck and touch your thighs and waist
will show you off to the other gods every chance he gets and if there is no chance he will make one
expect cheek kisses every 4 seconds
if you’re a mortal, he would l o v e to spoil you and amaze you with all the wonders accessible to him
if you’re a higher being like him, he will constantly be ‘subtly’ showing off to you
(its not subtle AT ALL)
this bitch is the type to run up to you and spin you around and dip you down to kiss you in front of everyone
he is so smug too
hes like “everyone look at me. look at me and my SEXY ASS PARTNER. YEAH YOU WISH YOU WERE US. WE ARE SO HOT. FUCK YOU.”
is not afraid to stick his tongue in your mouth in public
an absolute whore honestly
he is all over you when you��re alone
just constant “darlingggg.. cuddle me…:(((“ he is silly
in conclusion: in public? mans is kissing you touching you showing you off and praising you. alone? DARLINGGG I NEED A HUG !!!!!
