Sebastian misses his girlfriend. The solution? Well, surprise her, of course! Alternatively, needy and greedy Sebastian. ✨Sebastian Sallow x F!MC Tags: NSFW! MDNI! Explicit sexual content, oral sex (f receiving), face-sitting, needy Sebastian and lots of cheesy dialogue. 2.6k words [Read on Ao3] | [Read on Wattpad]
Sebastian Sallow is an idiot.
He knows he’s an idiot and it isn’t because his roommates Ominis and Garreth tells him so almost every day. No, it’s because only an idiot—a needy, madman in love—would apparate, uninvited to his girlfriend’s flat in Marseille in the middle of the night.
This is the first time since the start of his romantic relationship with Sloane that they’ve spent significant time apart. While he works his apprenticeship at Gringotts in London, she is in the south of France, researching with an elite group of herbologists. Wary of the split from the start, time and distance has made Sebastian unwell, to put it mildly.
His need for Sloane is a thrumming pulse in his veins, an ache that won’t subside no matter how he tries to distract himself. To say he misses her is an incredible understatement. The separation gnaws at him, a relentless hunger that only her presence can satiate.
When did he become so co-dependent—or has he always been this tethered to her?
The yearning threatens to turn him mad. With an address and her in mind, he slips through space and time itself, traveling over six-hundred miles in the blink of an eye. Sebastian can smell the ocean when he materializes with a pop on a dimly lit street, glancing from the parchment in his hand to the placard on the nearby building.
He is an idiot, he thinks to himself again as he climbs the stairs as quickly and quietly as he can until he’s staring at the bronze number 8 pinned to Sloane’s door. It takes him several moments to collect his thoughts, practicing what he might say when she opens the door—Merlin, he hopes she’ll open the door.
What time is it?
His first few knocks are far too gentle, not nearly loud enough for anyone to hear. Glancing at his surroundings as if he is being watched by some unseen force, he shuffles his feet and tries again, this time rapping his knuckles a little harder against the thick wood. Nearly a minute passes and he wonders how acceptable it would be to just break in when the door creaks open.   
Sebastian forgets how to breathe.
There she is, standing in the doorway—Sloane, dressed in the tiniest chemise known to mankind. Barefoot and bleary-eyed, she doesn’t seem to comprehend his presence, lazily covering her mouth as she yawns. His restraint is threadbare, fingers twitching at his sides as he resists the urge to yank her into his embrace.
“Do you always answer the door half-naked, sweetheart?” he teases, flicking his gaze from one exposed patch of skin to the next.
“I was asleep—” she mumbles half-heartedly, and he grins when realization settles across her face. “Seb—Sebastian!?”  
Fuck it.
He crosses the threshold, and Sloane barely has time to react as he plucks her up off the ground and into his arms. Her legs instinctively wrap around his waist, soft hands framing his face as he kisses her like the greedy bastard he is. Sebastian kicks the door shut, relishing in the heat of her body against his. He kisses her until his lungs burn for air, pulling away just enough to alleviate the sting and look at her through heavy-lidded eyes.
“Where’s your bed?” he murmurs against her lips.
Sloane, in a surprised haze, take a moment to reply. “Down the hall.”
Sebastian steadily makes his way through the small dwelling until they reach her cozy bedroom, an organized mess of journals, potions, and plants. Her bed reminds him of the sleeping arrangements back at Hogwarts—large enough for one person, barely enough room for two. Good thing he doesn’t plan on sleeping.
Sloane lets out a breezy laugh as he flops her down on the mattress, her body stretched out for him to admire. He remains standing bedside, mirroring her delighted expression, thankful she didn’t have a negative reaction to his surprise. She watches him with sparkling eyes as he disrobes, haphazardly shedding his clothes until only his socks remain.
“Are you really here?” she asks as he shifts to hover over her, bracing his weight on his elbows. Her fingers trace the outline of his face again as if he is a figment of her imagination that might disappear.
“Yes,” he simply answers, momentarily slowing down to pepper her face with sweet kisses before trailing down the curve of her neck. She smells like fresh rain and lemon zest. “Have you been dreaming of me?”  
Sloane’s coy smile and brilliant blush is enough of an answer. Her breath hitches as he nips the delicate skin above her collarbone. “But why are you here?”
“Isn’t it obvious, sweetheart?” Sebastian teases, a devious chuckle echoing against her ear. He pulls back just enough so their eyes can meet. “I missed you.”
She sighs, something between pleasure and amusement. “It’s been—”
“Three months,” he quips. “I know. But…being apart from you, Sloane…it’s harder than I ever imagined it to be.” He steals a quick peck, and then another. “Work keeps me busy, but when I go home in the evening and you’re not there, I find myself…lonely.”
“And I can’t very well go sneaking into Ominis’ room,” he comments with only a little sarcasm. “Well, I could, but I don’t think he’d appreciate me waking him up for a snuggle.”
“Is that what you call it?” Sloane’s nose scrunches up as she giggles. “You really came all the way here to…fuck?”
“Don’t say it like that!” Sebastian murmurs, hanging his head at the tickle of shame that churns his gut. The optics of his impromptu visit made him out to be an even bigger cad than usual. “Good grief, woman, you know what I mean.”
“Do I?”
“It isn’t like I’m spending every waking hour of every day in a perpetual state of sexual frustration—”
“You aren’t?”
He blinks, realizing Sloane is teasing him. She smirks, leaning up to kiss him in the soft way that always calms his heart. “I missed you too, Sebastian.”
For several moments they simply kiss, languid and unhurried despite the circumstances. A small part of him regrets this impulsive decision, knowing his time in Marseille is limited—a few hours at most. Time will tell if he’s inadvertently added to his suffering when he has to leave, not knowing when they’ll see each other again.
“How long can you stay?” she asks when he breaks away to kiss down her neck and shoulder, as if she can read his mind. Instead of answering right away, he follows the low line of her negligée, her breath hitching when he tugs the fabric down with his teeth.
“I have an appointment at the Ministry in the morning,” he says, words mumbled as he sucks her exposed nipple into his mouth. Sloane moans and it is a sound he’s been yearning to hear. “But I can be…late.”
Sebastian shifts, lowering his body down as he pushes her nightgown up, bunching it beneath her breasts. He kisses across her abdomen, dipping his tongue into her navel and grinning when she squeaks at the ticklish sensation. Sloane lifts her hips when he tugs at the band of her underwear, making it easy for him to peel them away and toss over his shoulder to join the pile of discarded clothes on the floor.
It isn’t until Sebastian is about to make himself comfortable between her spread legs that he notices something…different. He falters, eyes darting up to see Sloane biting back a cheeky smirk. His gaze drops back down to the apex of her thighs, where instead of the soft blonde curls he’s used to seeing, there is only bare flesh.
A strangled chuckle escapes him. “What did you do?”
“I did as the French do,” she simply explains, clearly amused by his bewildered reaction. “One of the other researchers here, a girl my age, insisted on taking me shopping.”
“Is this what they call shopping in France?” Sebastian sarcastically remarks, slowly brushing his fingers across her now smooth skin. Whatever Sloane’s response was to be dies on her tongue as she whimpers, hips twitching towards his touch. Fuck—she’s so warm, and soft, and he suddenly can’t wait to taste her like this.
Just as he’s about to dip his head down, a wicked idea flashes through his mind, a fragment of a fantasy he’d constructed while alone in his bed with only his thoughts and his hand. He pulls away, delighting in the mewling whine that slips from her lips. She watches him with a confused expression as he stretches out next to her, his head comfortably resting on the pillows.
“Straddle me,” he says, rather plainly, flashing a wicked grin. “Sit on my face.”
Sloane’s eyes widen and for a moment Sebastian is worried that he’s scandalized her, but he can’t take it back now. He licks his lips, carefully observing his sweet girlfriend’s face as she mimics the action, clearly envisioning the act in her mind. The second she moves, his hands are on her waist, helping to position her body above his. Her knees press into the pillow on either side of his head, and when she glances down, he thinks she must be an angel sent to escort him to the afterlife.
She flashes a shaky, uncertain smile, “like this?”
Sebastian groans in satisfaction, the scent of her arousal dizzying, intoxicating. She’s barely situated when he darts his tongue out, tightening his grip around her hips to keep her steady. He licks a stripe through her folds, repeating the action in broad strokes as he lavishes her, unable to resist. The taste of her is something he wishes to bottle, to drown in later when he’s forced to depart.
He wraps his lips around her clit, eagerly sucking the bundle of nerves that makes her quiver. Sloane’s breath catches, a broken whine spilling from her panting mouth as she braces herself against the headboard. Her fingers grip the wooden frame and her head sags forward, eyes clenched tight as she succumbs to his fervor.
“Rock against me, love,” he instructs, a raspy request made against her inner thigh. Sloane complies in a heartbeat, brows furrowing together in concentration. Sebastian supports her, his fingers squeezing around her hips as he guides her movements against him. “That’s a good girl—fuck—you taste so good.”
He’s relentless in his desire, desperate to feel her come undone. He pushes his nose against her, nearly smothering himself as he probes her entrance with his tongue, grinning when she makes a high-pitched, satisfied sound. Sebastian groans in response, gripping her tighter as her thighs begin to tremble, her body tensing as he edges her ever closer to oblivion.
“Sebastian,” Sloane gasps out, her voice a strained whisper, a plea laced with the ecstasy he’s drawing out from her. She arches, head thrown back as her chest heaves with every ragged breath. Her rocking becomes more frantic, seeking out the sensations his wicked mouth is conjuring.
Seconds later she shatters, crying out his name in a broken moan that nearly sends him over the edge as well. Sebastian holds her through it all, his arms moving to wrap around her thighs and waist as she convulses against him. All the while his mouth never ceases its frenzy, coaxing out every tremor until she’s slumped against the headboard.
When she starts to teeter, he’s there to catch her, gently placing her against the pillows so she can catch her breath. Sebastian is equally winded, but the slight sting to his lungs is worth it to see such a fucked-out expression on her face. He rolls to frame her body with his own, slotting his hips between her thighs so he can press his aching cock against the slick mess he’s just created.
“Do you need a moment?” he asks, gruffly. He balances his weight on one arm, using his free hand to tenderly cradle the side of her face. Sloane shakes her head, flashing a breathless smile as she shifts to accommodate his eager arousal. She hooks her legs around him and he reaches between them to guide himself, easily sliding into the tight warmth of her core.
As soon as he is fully sheathed inside, Sebastian takes a moment to absorb the sensation, wishing he could stay with her—inside her—forever. His initial rhythm is slow and measured as he watches Sloane’s face, memorizing every flicker of pleasure, every sigh and crease that forms between her brows as she loses herself to the feeling. His pace gradually builds, intensifying with each stroke as the fire between them burns.
Sebastian gathers her hands in his free one, pinning them above her head as he shifts his weight to grind down, the angle allowing him to slip deeper. Sloane responds with a litany of moans, her back arching up to meet each roll of his hips. Eventually his thrusts grow more insistent, more demanding as he craves to see her climax once more. Her legs sinch around his waist and her walls clench around him, urging him on, silently begging for the release that is so, so close.    
He captures her lips in a searing kiss, both hungry and panting as the end draws near. Sebastian grunts as he ruts against her, completely losing control as her entire body shudders and tenses with the wave of her orgasm. His own builds at the base of his spine, a heat that threatens to consume him—and he might just let it. Before he can fully realize it, he’s spilling into her depths, the two crying out in tandem ecstasy.
The next coherent thought Sebastian has is when he’s blinking up at the ceiling, his heart still pounding in his ears from the intensity of their coupling. He attempts to steady his breathing, but it’s a lost cause. Instead, he turns his head to find Sloane in a similar state on her back, a content smile curling her lips in an adorable way.
She lazily glances at him and sighs. “I missed you.”
He nearly ruins the moment with a crass joke about her missing his cock, but decides that saying something earnest is better.
“I miss you every day, Sloane. And I can’t wait for you to come home,” he says, reaching over to delicately trace the curve of her cheek with his fingers. “Well, wherever you want to call home, that is. I don’t suppose you’d want to live in a tiny London flat with two other men–”
He stops when he realizes he’s rambling. 
“Anyways…” he sighs, brushing through her hair. “I am ready to spend every night like this.” 
“Every night?”
“Yes,” he quickly replies. “And morning. And afternoon. Every minute we can spare.”
Sloane smiles, and for several minutes they simply exist, gazing into each other’s eyes as the present and future looms. She exhales, and there’s a sadness in her eyes that he doesn’t want to see. “Are you sure you have to leave?”
“Are you sure you have to stay?” he counters, though he knows it would be unfair to ask her to come back to London. He attempts a tease, “you know, you could come visit me.”
“I could,” she agrees with a nod, though her tone indicates she’s skeptical. “But I don’t have roommates. Ominis may be blind, but he doesn’t need to hear us—” “Nothing he hasn’t heard before,” Sebastian murmurs, earning him a playful pinch. He sighs, closing the distance for a moment to kiss her, knowing their time is running out. “We’ve always been resourceful, sweetheart. We’d find a way to be together.”
The levity gradually melts into a content silence, Sloane scooting to nuzzle against his side with her head on his chest. Sebastian wraps his arms around her, his hands slowly caressing up and down her back until he can sense she’s drifted to sleep.
He’ll stay, just for a little bit longer.

Just Take One
Mammon x reader
Flufftober Day 1- Candy Bowl
WC: 1.6k
~ You take Mammon out Trick or Treating for the first time and his Greed catches up with him in the sweetest way possible.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Your time as an exchange student in the Devildom has made the unusual, a usual occurrence in your life. You have grown accustomed to Witches, Wizards, Vampires, Angels, Demons, and other creatures passing you in the streets of the Devildom.
But now, you are back in the human world on Hallows Eve. 
The Devildom celebrates Halloween, of course, but Trick or Treating isn’t really a thing; instead of going door to door accepting treats from Demons and Incubi, everyone dons their favorite costumes and parties till dawn.
But when Mammon heard that in the human world, you go door to door getting free candy from Humans, The Avatar of Greed got a special kind of glint in his sapphire eyes, the kind that he gets when he comes up with a Get rich quick scheme. and begged you to take him out Trick Or Treating. 
Although his intentions were not exactly noble, you found yourself unable to say no to the Great Mammon’s pleading gaze.
So now you find yourself wearing a witch costume belonging to one of Asmodeus’s past lovers as Mammon shifts into his Demon form. The green light from the portal shines on both your faces, glowing brighter and brighter as it swallows the two of you whole.
~
The portal pops the two of you to a human world suburb. Each and every house on the street is covered in decorative cobwebs, lights, and ghoulish decorations. 
The air is crisp and smells like apples and cinnamon as you walk down the street. “Are ya sure it’s alright for me to be out like this?” Mammon asks, catching a look at his horned reflection staring back at him. 
“Don’t worry, Mammon, Halloween is the night of the year that demons can blend in with the rest of the Human world. People will just think that you are wearing a really good costume.” You explain passing a group of teenage girls who cannot keep their eyes off of the handsome Demon. 
The sun has hardly set, but trick-or-treaters are out and about too focused on the prospect of free candy to notice the subtle magic happening right in front of them.
A little group of superheroes passes the two of you with their pumpkin buckets half full of candy.
“Do we need those to get our candy?” Mammon asks, his little wings twitching in anticipation; maybe it’s not just the grimm he’s excited for.
 “We will need something, but those buckets don’t hold a lot of candy.” you say, “and I hope you’ll give some to Beel when you get back; he’d be heartbroken if you didn’t.”
“Yeah, yeah, but then I’ll really need something bigger,” he says dejectedly, furrowing his brows in thought. 
“No worries, I got us covered,” you say happily, reaching out into your bag and pulling out two large pillowcases.
“That’s smart,” the Demon says. Most likely imagining how much candy he could fit inside the sheet. “I’ll make a killing on these human world treats when we get back to the Devildom, just like that Kitkat you had in your…” Mammon tries to cut himself off, but the damage has been done.”
“My Kitkat?” you say sharply, knowing the king-sized bar you thought you brought back from the Human world the last time you visited. But when the time came to unpack, it wasn’t in your bag.” You sold my KitKat?”
His eyes go wide as he frantically tries to come up with an excuse. But he can’t. Not when it’s you.” S-sorry Mc. I meant to tell ya, but I forgot.”
You roll your eyes and give him a hard yet playful flick to the forehead. “It’s fine, but you owe me,” 
I’ll give ya all the KitKats in my bag.” He offers as if he hasn’t just confessed to stealing your treat moments before. 
“That, and I get to pick from whatever king-size bars you get tonight.” you counter; he opens his mouth to counter but can’t seem to disagree with you.
“Fine, ya win. But don’t tell anyone the Great Mammon has gone soft.” he huffs, twisting the empty off-white pillowcase in his tanned hands. 
We’ll come on then; we have a lot of houses to hit if we want to fill our bags. You grin, reaching your free hand over to grab his other hand that is not holding a pillowcase, and drag the now-blushing Demon towards the first of many houses.
~
The two of you have been at it for an hour now and, despite your age, have amassed quite a large amount of candy. A few homes actually gave the two of you bigger handfuls since your costumes were so ‘authentic.’ Elderly ladies, especially, thought Mammon was the sweetest young man they had ever seen and poured a big portion of their bowl into his pillowcase with a giggle and a wink.
In the back of your mind, you wonder how quickly those little smiles would disappear if they were to discover it was a real demon on their doorsteps, not a costumed one.
He hasn’t noticed it yet, but the pillowcase you gave him was enchanted by Solomon to never fill completely. As you watch a teenager boredly dump some candy into the pillowcase, you bite the inside of your cheek. The pillowcase would’ve been great to have when you were younger, for sure.
Forty or so houses down the line, the two of you come across a sparsely decorated porch with a large bowl of candy left out on the welcome mat. 
Two things capture your attention. The first being a simply penned sign taped to the front of the dark plastic. 
‘Please Take One
The second is the mechanical candy arm that looms ominous over the bowl of sweets, threatening to clamp down on whatever crosses its path. You remember these from Halloween’s past; they are motion-activated and grab hands that move past them as a harmless little Halloween trick.
It’s obviously there to protect the bowl. But Mammon’s greed has him incapable of focusing on anything but the bowl of candy in front of him.
“Mc, we can empty this whole thing, and no one would know.” He grins, taking a step on the wooden porch. The boards creak slightly under his boots as he strides over to the bowl.
“I wouldn’t do that if I were you, Mammon,” you warn, reaching into the back pocket of your costume to take out your DDD. If this thing is going to go down the way you think it will, you are sure Lucifer and the others would love to see it caught on video.
He turns and looks back at you confidently, “Ya worry too much, Mc.” he beams, puffing out his chest. “Silly Humans knew what was we’re gonna do the minute they chose to leave the candy out here.”
“Alright, Mammon, if that’s really what you wanna do, then I won’t stop you.” you sigh, shrugging your shoulders in mock surrender, making sure to hide the camera lens sneakily behind the pillowcase to capture all the action. 
Mammon reaches for the edge of the candy bowl, his fingers carelessly knocking over the little sign. 
All of a sudden, a ghoulish, shrinking sound erupts from the bowl, and the mechanical arm swats down into the bowl. Mammon yelps in fright, dropping the bowl and his pillowcase of candy onto the porch. Candy goes flying everywhere, landing on the wood with a thud. A look of fear in his eyes as he turns tail and runs toward you, his wings flapping frantically as he reaches for you. “Mc, we gotta go; that thing is possessed or somethin.”
He grabs you firmly by the arm and tries to pull you to safety, but your feet stay firmly planted on the ground. You end the recording and laugh, “Mammon, look, it’s okay; it was only a prank.” you say, pointing back at the bowl that continues its mechanical movements. The little hand flailing around robotically. 
“What kind of prank was that?” he breathes out exasperatedly as you guide him back to the front porch. “The thing almost killed me.”
“Nope, you’re fine,” you respond, grinning at his over-the-top exaggeration. Knowing he has been subjected to harsher punishments back in the Devildom than just a mechanical slap on the wrist. 
Mammon’s cheeks are pink as he sheepishly walks back up to the porch to get his pillowcase, picking up the fallen candy bars from the bowl along the way. “Ya could’ve warned me.” He huffs, setting the candy bowl upright and replacing the collected candy inside it. The mechanical hand goes off again, causing Mammon to flinch slightly. But when the little hand barely taps him, he lets out a laugh. 
“See, that wasn’t terrible now, was it?” you tease, ruffling the snow-white hair between his curly horns. “Should we get going to the next house, or are you too scared?”
“That was nothin,” he laughs, taking two pieces of candy from the bowl and tossing one over to you. “The Chiuauuah hits harder than that thing. Let’s go, Mc. We got a big night ahead of us.” He steps off the porch and looks eagerly at the rows and rows of houses beyond. Each one promises candy and future riches for the both of you.
“Sounds good to me,” you say, taking his hand and letting him lead you towards the next house. In the back of your mind, you wonder what other funny little videos you can take of Mammon to show everyone once you get back.

With the idea about the MC (Baxter route) with bad parents, got a lot of feels imagining a scenario where maybe Baxter had no idea that they do. Maybe like him, MC is very cheery and just doesn't show when something is wrong because they want everyone else to not worry and have a good time.
He learns about it the day that he cuts contact with MC. It could even be that MC's parents were actually pleasantly surprised that MC got a "rich" boyfriend (not why MC dated him of course) and then things went south when they learned about the breakup.
Baxter hears/learns about it before he leaves and (definitely very impulsively) decides to just take MC with him, because he wouldn't be able to handle the guilt of leaving them with those kinds of parents. MC're 18 (legally an adult) so it can't be considered a kidnapping and MC goes willingly anyway ofc.
He also has zero plan for once but won't regret it.
Aww, thank you for this one! I want to bundle up MC with Bad Parents and love them forever <3
Baxter was usually always so careful, meticulously planning every move for the best possible outcome. He knew his own limits, he knew what he liked and what he didn't, and things may not have always worked out as well as he hoped, but he did always have a plan.
Except for this time.
He sat in his cushy first class seat on the plane back to Virginia, legs primly crossed and hands placed delicately in his lap, and looked over at you, curled up in the seat next to him, fast asleep.
Yes, this time things had veered wildly off track.
It all had happened very, very fast. He'd said his goodbyes, dropped the news that he wouldn't be keeping in touch at all once he left, and he'd had to maintain a cool disposition while you cried. He closed the door on you, literally and figuratively -- he remembered sinking to the floor once he'd gotten inside, but he didn't recall how long he'd stayed there.
While Baxter was sitting in the dark of his empty condo, feeling sorry for himself and trying desperately to make himself believe that he'd done the right thing, he heard the yelling begin. He couldn't make out everything, but he heard your name several times, and he could tell the noise was coming from your home.
Even though he didn't catch every word, he certainly caught the tone, and the familiarity sent him reeling. He'd been screamed at like this before by his own parents. The racket across the street brought back some of his worst memories, and it also made the guilt that was already simmering inside him rise to a boil.
Before he really knew what he was doing, he'd pulled his phone out of his pocket and opened the app for the airline he used. As the screams from your home brought up a visceral feeling of dread, he quickly hit a series of buttons, and soon he'd been able to purchase a second ticket for his flight. His fingers hesitated for a moment then, but then he heard your name cried out so much more brutally than he knew you'd ever deserved, and that spurred him on to take the last step.
"I'm leaving in three hours," he typed out in a text message. "I have an extra ticket if you would like to join me."
It didn't make sense -- even with as rashly as he'd acted, he knew that much. How would it look, for him to have been so detached at what he'd thought had been your final goodbye only for him to turn around so soon after and invite you to fly across the country with him? If you accepted, what would happen once you landed? If, as he assumed was much more likely, you refused, then he knew he'd tainted your memories of the summer even more than he already had, which didn't sit well with him either.
Before he could get too lost in thought, his phone vibrated in his hand. He looked down, and saw that you'd responded.
"Ok," you'd written.
He had his answer.
It had been a very eventful night, and Baxter was sure that he'd spend plenty of time thinking about it all in the days to come, but for now he was pulled out of his thoughts by a warm hand grasping onto his.
He looked over, and you were awake, a small smile on your face just for him.
With that, no matter what else happened, he knew he'd made the right decision.

Happy 1 year anniversary to your blog! ❤️
Can I request gn! reader on their first date with Meph in nightbringer
hope you have a great day/night ^^
Thank you for the request. I had so much fun with it that I might have taken longer on it and made it a little longer than I should have. Oh well!
1 year anniversary flash request event - SFW
(Mephistopheles x gn!MC)
Prompt 9 - First date
How did this even happen? Mephisto wondered as he opened his car door for you, taking the opportunity to inconspicuously ogle at you as you got in.
You had taken the initiative and invited him out for a drink. His flustered, wide-eyed face confused you as the words tumbled from his mouth: “A-are you asking me out on a date?”
“Yeah, that was my intention,” you shrugged.
“Why, I never –! A human of all the –!” Mephisto mumbled to himself.
“What? I think you’re cute.” You furrowed your brows. “Have you never been asked on a date before?”
“I’ve been asked out before; I just never accepted. I’ve never had any interest before.”
“Before? So, you have interest now?”
“I didn’t say that, you impudent human!” Mephisto crossed his arms defensively, heat rising in his cheeks.
“Well, I suppose you might not be an ideal date anyway – due to the lack of experience and what not,” you teased.
“How dare you! I’m a gentleman. I would make an astounding escort –”
“Who said anything about an escort?”
“Escort on a date! Not a – forget it.” Mephisto mumbled. “I’ll pick you up at Cocytus Hall at 7pm tomorrow night. Wear something nice but comfortable!”
With that, he stormed off – just in time to hide the smile that cracked through his indignant façade.
He brought you to a nice restaurant – not quite as upscale as Ristorante Six, but you knew he had called ahead and leveraged his name (perhaps even slipped some money towards the establishment) to get this reservation. Now that you were sitting across from him, with his handsome face and his dignified suit that somehow outshined his god-awful taste in neckwear, you were starting to feel nervous. He picked up on that.
“Relax. You’re the one who asked me out, after all,” Mephisto sounded annoyed, but he stared at you with a reassuring smile. “You look lovely tonight. Just act like your usual, barely-tolerable self, and you’ll be fine. I’m here with you. There’s nothing to worry about.”
“Thank you for agreeing to go out with me.” You smiled and let out a sigh of relief. Mephisto cleared his throat to distract from the sudden warmth that flooded his face.
Not too surprisingly, Mephisto was an excellent conversationalist. You were delighted when you actually managed to make him laugh so much that he looked surprised as he tried to quiet his laughter – as if he hadn’t expected you to be so funny, or maybe he hadn’t expected to enjoy your company so much.
After dinner, you expected him to promptly take you home, but instead, he offered you his arm and took you for a walk down the street. You didn’t mind, but you asked him nonetheless, “Where are we going?”
“That’s a surprise. You wouldn’t want to ruin a surprise, now, would you?”
A short but rather relaxing stroll later, Mephisto stopped at a small, almost shady-looking shop. After a wonderful dinner, you decided you owed Mephisto the benefit of the doubt and walked into the shop when he held the door open for you. The shop was filled with (shockingly clean and organized) shelves, each one stacked with intriguing knick-knacks and magical items. You could feel the magic just by walking through the doorway.
Somehow, in response to almost anything that piqued your interest, Mephisto had some kind of insight or background knowledge. And you thought Satan and Solomon were the nerds.
“You’re so knowledgeable,” you admired him. “But what made you think to bring me here?”
“You’re studying under Solomon, aren’t you? I figured the wise sorcerer’s apprentice might appreciate something like this. And I’m not that knowledgeable; I did a write up on this place a few weeks ago. I’m a little disappointed you didn’t have the chance to read it.”
You stifled a laugh at his slight pout. “Still, it looks like you retained a lot of that information. That’s pretty cool.”
Mephisto smiled at your praise. “If something in particular catches your eye, let me know before we leave. I’ll get it for you – and no, it’s not any trouble. I’m happy to provide you with a memento of our date. Consider it a reward for being surprisingly good company.”
“You didn’t have to say ‘surprisingly.’”
Mephisto looked around quickly before leaning in and stealing a quick kiss in the middle of the shop. “Consider that one a reward for the adorably stupid faces you make when you’re annoyed at me.”
“You’re awful,” you lied.
“I know.” Mephisto smirked and stole another kiss from you. This time, he lingered on your lips. “Thank you for asking me out.”
A/N: requests are still open for the rest of today if anyone else wants to enter. (rules here) I probably won't get to all of the SFW requests, but I may be able to finish them up tomorrow or the day after.

It Happened One Miami Night (1/?)
Series Premise: A work trip to Miami means finally accepting that some risks are worth taking. Or are they?
Fandom: Choices Book: Open Heart Pairing: Ethan Ramsey x F!MC (Cassie Valentine) Rating/Category: Teen. Angsty Fluff Words: 1,045
Series Masterlist
A/N: The long awaited Miami series! I think this might be 3 or 4 parts, but I'm not sure yet. For Ethan's POV at the airport, read my old (and overly indulgent) fic: Out of Control.
Submission to @choicesmonthlychallenge March dialogue prompt: "We're running out of time."
Tumblr media
The ballgown had to go. There was no other choice. Besides, Cassie Valentine reasoned, she was going to a conference, not a white-tie gala.
She’d bought the dress on impulse when she saw it in a boutique on Newbury Street. It matched the heirloom necklace her parents gifted her when she graduated from medical school. But galas and the intern lifestyle didn’t exactly mix, and the dress had gathered dust in her closet until now.
Cassie stared at the clothes, shoes and other essentials she’d stuffed into the small carry-on case that lay unzipped and open atop her bed. Carefully adjusting the garment bag so as not to crush the beautiful midnight blue gown, she tucked the ends in and wondered if she could close and zip the bag without applying pressure.
They were likely flying coach, as that’s what most people did, which meant packing the bare minimum. Unfortunately, she had never learned the art of packing light and didn’t think Dr. Ramsey was patient enough to wait for her checked luggage to roll off the carousal.
He might just leave her at the airport to find her own way to the hotel right after giving her the patented Ramsey glare. The man was infuriatingly predictable like that.
Huffing in frustration, Cassie threw herself on the bed and stared at the ceiling. It was bad enough that she had to be at the airport in a few hours, but the worst was that she’d had an extraordinarily long shift with barely time to eat dinner.
Anyway, she consoled herself. She’d likely be stuck inside dark meeting rooms taking notes and playing assistant all weekend, not enjoying cocktails by the pool.
Dr. Ramsey hadn’t said anything about her accompanying him to receptions and parties that were par for the course at these conventions. As far as the medical community was concerned, she was a nobody.
Cassie was honest enough to admit she was ambivalent about this trip. Despite her bravado in front of Sienna and the “girl can dream” comment, spending time alone with Ethan Ramsey away from the hospital was not good for her resolution to stay away from him.
He was dangerous to her heart. Tall, dark, and handsome, he had laser-blue eyes that made her insides melt whenever he directed them her way. He was an attending and a world-famous diagnostician, while she was a lowly intern who still had trouble believing in herself.
Workplace romances were often treacherous for women, even more so when the man was her superior. That lesson had been ingrained in her brain from the moment she got her first job. Her father had taught her to spot the signs and avoid putting herself in a situation where the lines could be crossed.
They could never work, and it could ruin her career before she’d truly begun. If she thought otherwise, she was dreaming.
So, why did the impossibility of it all make her unbearably sad?
Feeling the long day catch up with her, she closed her eyes briefly. Just five minutes, she told herself, letting out a loud yawn. Five minutes to rest her busy brain, and then she’d finish getting her stuff ready for tomorrow.
She woke up hugging the sides of the carry-on and the sound of an alarm blaring in the quiet. She started to fling her arm to hit the snooze button, but her eyes snapped open.
Crap, crap, crap. She’d fallen asleep. What time was it?
Cassie grabbed her phone off the nightstand, blinked to clear sleep from her eyes and then yelped before hurriedly swinging her legs off the bed. She needed to haul ass or forever put up with Dr. Ramsey’s snide remarks about missing their flight.
An hour later, she ran down the terminal, the wheels of her carry-on case rattling behind her. She scanned gate numbers and sweated bullets as the overhead announcer warned that it was the last call for the flight to Miami.
Cassie skidded to a halt outside their gate, an apology hovering on her lips as Ethan took off his eyeglasses and checked his watch.
“Five more seconds, and I’d have boarded without you.”
She couldn’t tell from his expression if he was angry or just resigned at her lateness. His tone was entirely too casual for her to decide.
“I won’t happen again!” Cassie said, gulping oxygen and ignoring the stitch in her side. The mad dash across the airport caught up with her.
Ethan quirked one eyebrow. “You think I’ll be inviting you to medical conferences often, do you?”
It was such an on-brand response that Cassie couldn’t help but grin. “Fingers crossed?”
He rolled his eyes, but the wide, easy smile showed her he wasn’t offended by her sass. “Oh for goodness’ sake, let’s board already. We’re running out of time.”
He handed his boarding pass to the gate attendant and waited off to the side while Cassie did the same. Just before they entered the jetway, she absently glanced at the light snow falling on the tarmac outside.
“Sunshine and clear blue skies, here we come,” she murmured to herself before following him down the jetway.
Unwittingly, her eyes fell on his well-toned ass and thighs clad in dark jeans, and her throat became dry. Oh, boy!
He’s not for you, and this is a bad idea. Cassie repeated the words like a mantra as they neared the aircraft's open door and the flight attendants waiting to greet them.
Half an hour later, his cologne hit her senses, and she held her breath to stop herself from sniffing him. Instead, she turned away from his profile to watch the dark clouds outside the window as the plane left Boston behind.
This is madness. Stop it, she scolded herself as they companionably settled in for the long flight after a hearty breakfast. She nervously fiddled with the in-flight entertainment screen while ignoring Ethan, who was too engrossed in his book to pay her any attention.
His nearness was like a drug, and she was growing addicted. If she was going to leave Miami with her heart intact, she would have to resist the temptation. It was for the best. Some things really were not worth the risk.

Do you have any thoughts on self aware yandere Dan Heng? Also I really enjoyed your other works so far!
hello! thank you for being my first Dan Heng and for your support! <3 i try to write my works based on the character personality rather than using dark themes to create shock value, so hearing this make me super happy.
i personally think his reaction would be defined by the user's personality whether she remind me of March 7th or MC since they are the girls that he spend the most time with.
trigger warnings - cheating and slut shaming.
accepting requests!
Tumblr media
Dan Heng would be slightly shock till he realised that he have bigger problems of being seen as a villain from his previous reincarnation.
At least, she couldn't do anything to him behind a screen, surely he could not be that unlucky.
There was one aspect though that irks him because the user reminded him so much of March 7th when she would do live stream with her friends.
The resemblance was uncanny that Dan Heng would need to hide from March 7th to get his thoughts together before he would reveal the truth to her.
The past already haunted the girl where he was sure finding out about this would cause her to have a meltdown.
Dan Heng doubted that March 7th could keep this a secret and if the crew finds out, chaos will spread like wildfire.
Some things are better left unsaid where he planned to take this secret to his grave.
So Dan Heng decided to be nonchalant about the whole thing and resumed his daily life till one day that the user logged in and seem to be extremely upset since her eyes were puffy.
The young man was uncomfortable when she automatically clicked on his profile and played his voice lines.
To make matters worst, the user proceeded to break down and rambles about an intense breakup.
"Dang Heng, he cheated on me," and Dang Heng was sure that if he have romantic lines, she would pressing the play button non stop.
The urge to run away heightened to a whole other level but seeing the tears streaked down her cheek unlocked a tightening feeling in his chide.
Sympathy ? Jealously? Dan Heng did not know but the sight startled him a lot that he wanted to break the act and speak to her.
The user may have her flaws but she distracted him a lot from his intense thoughts about Dan Feng and she always did clean up the monsters from the streets.
After that, the user started using him as her personal diary by clicking on his profile everyday to tell him about everything.
It was annoying at first but he got used to it and Dan Heng soon developed a curiosity about the outside world.
It's a shame that he could never ask her questions about it.
One day, the user started switching to other characters and her new favourite became Blade.
The worst man to ever exists and his friend decided to latch onto him like glue and Dan Heng couldn't help but feel betrayed at her actions.
It felt like the user just grew bored of him and the realisation made him want to go beat the shit out of Blade.
It wasn't a very sensible idea but the user must be special to him considering he have blew a fuse at the whole predicament.
Dan Heng made the app crashed though by using his spear when he thought that she was going to declare to Blade that he was the best.
The user didn't stay loyal to Blade for long and Dan Heng found his way to appearing back on her screen again.
The damage was done though so when the user played his thoughts about Blade, he snapped.
"Fuck off, you just used me, goes back to Blade slut."
It was worth it when seeing her hurt expression before her eyes widened in confusion, hoping she just misheard him.

Cove's Alphabet SFW
The safe-for-work version of Cove Holden's Alphabet is finally here! Enjoy my lovelies. (Took so much longer to write because it has over double the word count than the NSFW one <3) ALSO! This version is for all genders, so if you find something that is tailored specifically to a woman or male, lmk and I'll correct it :)
Tumblr media
A = Affection (How affectionate are they? How do they show affection?) Cove loves to hold your hand and do the little thumb thing where he rubs it against the side of your hand. He often holds your hand whenever you two are around each other, no matter the circumstance. You two are walking to a beach? He’ll hold your hand. He’s kissing you? He reaches for your hand. It’s a little intimate act that doesn’t make him embarrassed, and it means a lot to be able to stay within arms reach of you at all times. He also has a thing for placing his lips somewhere where you did or eating a portion of food where you also ate part of it. For example, if you two are out on a little date night and you both get different desserts, he will ask to try whatever dessert you’re eating only because he likes the idea of indirectly kissing like this. If you offer him any food, he will almost always put his mouth not directly, but on half of the area you already bit out of rather than on the opposite side of the food, like a sandwich.
B = Best friend (What would they be like as a best friend? How would the friendship start?) You two met when you both were very young, obviously, and you two bonded more over how Cove didn’t know how to deal with his trauma with his family's divorce and moving to a new place. If we are sticking with this idea, he grew fond of you very quickly because you were the first person he met in Sunset Bird, and you always tried your best to include him in different activities or to spend one-on-one time with him to learn about his interests; he naturally also began doing that with you too! If we are wanting to be a bit annoying and say you two really became friends in step 2 or 3, he already knew you since he often saw you when he went to the beach and because you lived right across the street. He made small gestures like offering you a drink (A Caprisun or something) and you would accept it. Or.. he would ask you something about school since you two went to the same one, like: "MC, um… do you happen to know how to solve for x?" or "I’m stuck on my fourth quote. Can you help me find something to use? I looked so many times, but nothing fits with my topic sentence." Of course, you would always help him because you either had no clue yourself or because you were better at the subject he asked about, which allowed you two to bond more often. When helping him with something, he always got sidetracked by pointing something out about your room or telling you something that went on in his day and wanting your opinion about it. Regardless of when you both became friends, he always had little inside jokes with you, and you both often wore them out too quickly, or he would always tell you random facts he learned about the sea, like: "Did you know jellyfish are just floating blobs and they don’t think?" or: "The male seahorse actually gives birth instead of the female one, so do you think that means they still have the same lower regions like humans or do you think it’s swapped?" Regardless, there is always something stewing in Cove’s mind that he is more than happy to ask you about.
C = Cuddles (Do they like to cuddle? How would they cuddle?) Cove is an absolute sucker for cuddling—just not in his bed. You two have cuddled on multiple occasions when you were both friends, such as when the two of you watched a movie together, he often sat next to you, and somehow you both ended up falling asleep, his head resting on yours. If the two of you are dating, he often gets too flustered to sleep next to you in his bed because he can get very flustered when being absolutely alone with you and in such intimate proximity. He often lets you cuddle him when the two of you are just relaxing at his house on a couch, or if he is exhausted from his work shift, he will make a beeline for your house after work and rest his head on your lap while mindlessly telling you about the random shenanigans of his work day. (Bonus points if you put Cove’s front hair into a ponytail or if you just thread your fingers through his hair, which often makes him blush due to how good it feels.)
D = Domestic (Do they want to settle down? How are they at cooking and cleaning?) At some point, he wouldn’t be against moving in regardless of you two being friends, dating, or engaged. He won’t ever tell you he is a bit of a messy person, and you will find out the exact day you move in that he is a little bit of a slob. He doesn’t leave random dishes around, but he has random shirts strewn across his room, and sometimes he’ll leave dishes unwashed for days, but he eventually gets to doing it. He also barely uses his closet. He often just picks out shirts and pants from the basket he threw them in after washing his clothes, rather than putting them away like a civil human being. (You’ll just have to deal with the sand problem because somehow, regardless of whether he was going swimming that day, he tracks sand into the main entryway.) He also cannot cook for shit, but he can prepare miscellaneous foods that his mom taught him to cook, like chicken or tacos. His cooking abilities are very limited, but if there is a food you really enjoy, he will take the time while you are out to figure out how to cook it and eventually master it and cook it for you one night to impress you.
E = Ending (If they had to break up with their partner, how would they do it?) Cove would always try to fix any problems between you two, but if things just became too much to bear, i.e: you constantly cheating on him or you doing something he’s told you make him uncomfortable too many times, he will find a way regardless of what you did to be nice until the end. He would sit you down wherever you live and have a genuine calm conversation with you, and when it gets to the point where he has to say the five words (We need to break up), he begins to tear up himself. During the whole conversation, he will hold your hand to try and comfort you, but really, it’s him coming to terms that it will be the last time he will be doing something like that with you or whoever he is breaking up with. After the conversation is done, which probably takes an hour and a half because he often beats around the bush, he will leave and beat himself up for the next couple of days before he gets over it.
F = Fiance(e) (How do they feel about commitment? How quick would they want to get married?) Cove would definitely love to make you his wife/partner/husband at some point after you two are somewhat stable. Depending on when you propose to him or he proposes to you (If step 3), he prefers to stay engaged to you for a couple years before marrying you, then wait a little while longer before having kids. If you have issues or you just prefer not to be married, Cove totally understands, and he is willing to treat you like his forever partner, even if you both aren’t engaged. Ideally, Cove would like to marry you on the spot because you have such a chokehold on him, but, realistically, you two get married when you canonically would, so around 24. Regardless of when you get engaged, he will wait a couple years or whenever you are ready to settle down.
G = Gentle (How gentle are they, both physically and emotionally?) More often than not, Cove is a gentle person over a rough one. Especially when the two of you are getting intimate, he will always stay really gentle—more so the first couple of times—but he will treat you with respect. Physically, he always tries to gently hold your hand or caress your cheek gently before you two kiss to make things not only more sensual but also more comfortable. Emotionally, he will often not directly address an issue between you two but instead hint at it, trying his best to not hurt your feelings, even if he is the one annoyed by whatever.
H = Hugs (Do they like hugs? How often do they do it? What are their hugs like?) Cove loves hugs. He isn’t an overhugger, but he won’t ever turn you down if you ask for one. Especially if he is sad about something, he will cling to you like a sloth to a tree, crying into your shoulder, because we all know he is a bit of a crybaby. (In the best way possible, of course.) He often goes under rather than over, so he can hold your waist and put his face down on your shoulder. If you are sad and need a hug, he will always tightly hold you (especially if you have sensory issues) and keep you pressed against him while gently rubbing circles with his palm into your back. If you two are being intimate, the first thing he will do after you two finish is hug you tightly, even if it was a quickie and you needed to leave ASAP.
I = I love you (How fast do they say the L-word?) He didn’t want to spring the three words on you too quickly in case you weren’t comfortable with admitting that to him yourself, so he waited, but also because he was a little nervous himself to admit he had such strong feelings for you. After 1 to 3 months, he will accidentally let it slip once. The very first time he said it to you was when you two were having a mini movie night at his house and the two of you were cuddled up on one of the main floor's couches, sharing a fleece blanket. At some point during the movie, you two end up kissing, and after he pulls away he rubs your cheek with his thumb gently and looks into your eyes before whispering under his breath: "God, I love you so much…". Your eyes almost popped out of your head when he said that, and when the words processed in his head, his hand that caressed your cheek instantly went to his mouth. You look a bit anxious yourself, reassuring him that it was adorable (Bonus points if this is when you also tell him you love him for the first time). You put your hands on either side of his head, sitting on your knees now, and you tell him how you are so glad he told you, and it means so much to you that he was finally able to say it. This makes you wonder, though: how many times before did he think about saying I love you in his head but never verbally?
J = Jealousy (How jealous do they get? What do they do when they’re jealous?) Cove is pretty good when it comes to jealousy, so he won’t ever get nervous when you have any guy or girl friends (Depending on your gender and your sexuality). He believes in loyalty and faith, so he puts his full trust in you, but when someone flirts with you and you play into it a little, whether you’re aware of it yourself or not, he will shift over to you and put a hand on your waist, or he will pull a: "How’re you feeling [insert pet name you enjoy], good, I hope?" and he gives you a kiss on the forehead. This is usually enough to shut whatever down, but if it isn't, he will begin glaring at whoever is flirting with you, and he will insert himself into whatever conversation, acting a bit passive-aggressive because whoever wasn’t taking the hint.
K = Kisses (What are their kisses like? Where do they like to kiss you? Where do they like to be kissed?) Usually, Cove gets nervous with PDA, so the kisses you share are often short and sweet, such as quick pecks on the lips or a few seconds, but he makes up for it by following up with a kiss on your cheek. When the two of you are alone, the kisses are usually more lengthy, and he likes giving you quiet praise after you two finish (exactly how he accidentally let ‘I love you’ slip because it was natural). He likes to be kissed anywhere, honestly. On his head, hand, arms, chest, stomach, and, if you’re feeling a bit risque, on his inner thighs. Every kiss you give him, he cherishes, regardless of the placement. He often likes to kiss your cheeks, forehead, and the back of your palm. If he is feeling a bit risque, then he likes to give you kisses on your ankles (Bonus points if you are wearing an anklet).
L = Little ones (How are they around children?) You’d think he would get flustered around kids, but he is surprisingly good with them because Derek would sometimes bring Nico and Jorge over to Cove’s place, or Cove would go over to help watch them. Derek showed Cove the different tactics Nico often pulled to get his way, and he made sure to tell Cove all the important details about children, such as how to entertain them and what things to keep away from them. Cove can often handle children, even when they do gross things such as pick their noses or poop in their diapers, which he often takes care of himself, and if you two choose to have a child, he will be the primary one to take care of that. If you two have children or adopt, he is definitely the type to cry when you point out how old they're getting, even if they are 2.
M = Morning (How are mornings spent with them?) Cove will often wake up a bit late, such as 10–11 am if he isn’t needed to go out anywhere, and he likes cuddling with you even while you both are awake in bed. He could spend a whole day just not getting out of bed and shifting positions with you in bed because he enjoys your warmth. If you are more of an early bird, he will often tighten his arms around your waist and keep you close to him, nuzzling his nose into the crease of your neck until you shake him off. If you two don’t spend the night together, you often go over to his house and wake him up by tugging at his hair, to which he will grab your hand and pull you closer to him if the two of you are dating. He won’t realize what he did at first, but when he does, he will get flustered and turn over, apologizing. He is slow to get out of bed and to brush his teeth, so his hair often goes unbrushed until after breakfast, unless you decide to brush it for him (Bonus points if you give him head kisses while you brush his hair).
N = Night (How are nights spent with them?) If you two are dating, he won’t bring up sleeping next to each other but instead ‘cuddle before you go home’. You don’t tell him, but you love it when he is so nervous about this because if he had just asked you directly, it wasn’t as if you’d turn him down anyway. He tries to stay up as late as you do, so if you go to sleep early, he will often watch a show or something while playing with your hair and giving you the occasional head kiss. He also loves nuzzling your nose when you’re sleepy, don’t ask him why, he just does. If you often stay up late, then he will try his best to stay by your side, whether he falls asleep in your bed or is sitting down beside your desk on the floor and falls asleep with his head against the seat of your chair. You will wake him up when you’re done, and he groggily gets up, clinging to you until you get in bed. Even if you need to change into pajamas, he will often just lend you his shirt, regardless of whether he has a spare, so you can lay down quicker with him. Or, if you need to brush your teeth, he will have his hands across your stomach and his head on top of yours / on your shoulder until you're done, and then he gets a little giddy when you tell him you’re done, laying down with him.
O = Open (When would they start revealing things about themselves? Do they say everything all at once or wait a while to reveal things slowly?) You two were friends before you both began dating, so you already knew a lot about him. If you ask him anything, he doesn’t mind telling you (especially if you ask him when you’re making/getting him a gift, he’ll pretend he has no idea why you’re asking him the question just to see your happy face when you give it to him). He isn’t a closed-off person; instead, he is more of an open book, but he is a bit nervous to tell you about what he likes intimately (Canon), but he will tell you in a quiet voice. Don’t ask him to repeat what he likes in intimate scenarios after he tells you once or twice in the same conversation because he will get too flustered and shut down. It’s a bit of a turn-on for him when you know all the little things about him, so he often mentions if he likes something mid-conversation if you two are on the topic about it.
P = Patience (How easily angered are they?) He is a pretty patient guy. Obviously, if you don’t understand something he doesn’t mind re-explaining it to you, and he actually finds it funny if you need something repeated more than twice. He is also patient when you get ready for dates if you’re the type to take over an hour to get ready. He enjoys sitting in the bathroom with you and watching you put on makeup (If you put it on) or style your hair / put it up. (If you do.) If you two are meeting up for a date, then he will wait all day for you, but how could you ever leave him waiting?
Q = Quizzes (How much would they remember about you? Do they remember every little detail you mention in passing, or do they kind of forget everything?) For Cove, it’s a mix of it all. There are weirdly specific things he memorizes about you, like if you don’t like a specific condiment or if you put your hair behind your ear / tie it up when you are looking down at something, but he can’t remember your favorite color some days. If you bring up a music artist you often listen to, he will silently remind himself to keep it in mind, and he will write it down on his phone’s notes app so he doesn’t forget. He won’t tell you, but it got to the point where his notes app had too long of a list, so he switched over to Google Docs, and he has over 3 pages worth of information about what you like/dislike and why. Things he specifically memorizes are physical stuff about you, like your favorite jewelry or how you like to dress. When the two of you go out and spend a day together or go on a date, he, for some reason, counts the number of different pieces of jewelry you wear (if you do), as if you’ll ask him at the end of the night.
R = Remember (What is their favorite moment in your relationship?) Every day with you is something special to Cove, so it would be hard for Cove to choose a specific moment, but back when you two were younger (Step 2) and you two went on that road trip, he’s really fond of the entire trip because he not only enjoyed the get-together and mix of your families, but he also likes that you specifically wear anklets for him now on because that was when you first found out he liked them. Despite him hitting his head on the top of the RV, he finds it funny now, and he can make fun of his little self for how flustered he was. (Bonus points if you tell him he isn’t any different currently.) (Bonus bonus points if you do something that makes him extremely flustered to prove your point.)
S = Security (How protective are they? How would they protect you? How would they like to be protected?) Typically, Cove would prefer to handle things with words rather than physically needing to deal with someone, so if someone were to badger you or annoy you, he would put his arm in front of you and be straightforward with a stern voice. Cove believes you can handle yourself for the most part, but he will always step in if you give him a glance or if you seem overwhelmed by someone. Typically, when Cove talks about something important, he beats around the bush a bit, but he won’t ever stand for someone disrespecting you. He will make sure you feel safe, and after everything is dealt with, he'll give you many kisses.
T = Try (How much effort would they put into dates, anniversaries, gifts, everyday tasks?) Cove is definitely dedicated to any and all relationships he was/is in, so no matter what, he will remember your birthday, the time you two had your first date, and your anniversary, making sure to give you something or take you somewhere on that day. Just as it is important to you, it’s important to Cove to celebrate the days you both start a new beginning with each other, even if it’s a small step like when you two first kissed. (A little HC is that on your birthday he had a small gift he gave to you when the two of you were alone, and it was an anklet in your favorite color.) If there is something you typically need as an everyday thing, such as a hug, compliment, kiss, or even simple good morning/goodnight texts, Cove will make sure to pick up on those habits and do them as much as possible.
U = Ugly (What would be some bad habits of theirs?) Canonically, Cove often wipes his hands on his shorts, so multiple of his shorts have tiny stains on them. Staying on the food topic, Cove definitely is also a bit of a messy eater, leaving crumbs around his lips and on his shorts/pants after a meal. (Bonus points if you wipe it off for him.) (Bonus, BONUS points if you wipe a condiment off the side of his mouth and then lick it off your finger.) Cove also gives off naive vibes, so if you lie about something such as, "Cove, did you know that if you sneeze with your eyes open, they’ll pop out of your head?" Cove at first didn’t believe you, but the more he thought about it, the more he freaked out about it, and he now makes sure to always close his eyes.
V = Vanity (How concerned are they with their looks?) For the most part, Cove is pretty laid-back about his appearance, but he always makes sure he is wearing matching clothes. Somehow he never wears matching socks, but that’s beside the point. Something that he is a bit more strict about is his hair, though. He can spend roughly 10 minutes just trying to make his hair sweep around his cheeks properly because the night before he slept on it funny. He groans when it doesn’t look normal in the mirror after the first initial brushes, and then he increasingly feels the need to make it perfect before his dad or you usher him out of the bathroom.
W = Whole (Would they feel incomplete without you?) Nope. Plain and simple, if he ever lost (as in died), he would never be able to forgive himself if he ever moved on from you, and he would spend the rest of his life indulging in the things you liked and weren’t able to do yet. On a less intense note, though, he doesn’t like to go more than a week without speaking to you, especially when he goes to visit his mom. As you are his childhood best friend, you are probably—no, definitely—the most important thing in his life, regardless of whether the two of you end up dating. He often spends a lot of his time just thinking about you, if not hanging out with or talking to you. He has a life outside of you with other friends and his parents, but a lot of his life is surrounded by you, and he wouldn’t have it any other way because you’ve made such an impact on him.
X = Xtra (A random headcanon for them.) Cove is the type to overload you with different memes and tiktoks. Even if the two of you are sitting next to each other, he will either text you a tiktok or send it to your account and watch your reaction. At the end of the day, if you don’t avidly keep up with his messages, you’ll end up with around 30 messages—if not more from Cove just consisting of tiktoks that are the ones that say ‘Us’ and then a picture, or a tiktok of a random fact if you are a girl, and ask "IS THIS TRUE???" and then send a tiktok of a girl peeling her skin off, explaining that she needs to shed her old skin on her period.
Y = Yuck (What are some things they wouldn’t like, either in general or in a partner?) Canonically, Cove dislikes people who often push back plans or don’t follow through with them, such as pushing a date back multiple times because you wanted to hang out with your friends. He also dislikes people who won’t accept help and who are adamant about not accepting any sort of gift from him. He is the type to spoil his partner, and if you won’t accept any of his gifts, that will often put him down and make him uneasy. Something else that would irk Cove, since he is a bit of a messy person, is if his partner was someone super strict about cleaning or organization and pushed their rules onto him, he would be reluctant to date you, knowing his habits would make you frustrated and him too.
Z = Zzz (What is a sleep habit of theirs?) Cove love, love, loves to cuddle when he finally gets comfortable sleeping in the same bed/area with you. He ideally likes to cuddle where the two of you are facing each other or where one of you has your head in the other's chest while holding each other. If he is having a rough day, he definitely sleeps on his stomach and tends to shift positions a lot at night. He also has a habit of quietly snoring if you two do a lot in the day or after the two of you were intimate. Don’t ask me why, but Cove definitely is a blanket hog, but after you wake him up to have him give you some of the blankets, he will sleepily and excessively apologize.

MC profile
Some info about my MC Chris Mongrel. Profile is under the cut.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Name: Chris Mongrel
House: Slytherin
Birthday: 24th November
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Demisexual, demiromantic
Nationality: British
Residence: Oxford, Oxfordshire, England
Motto: Sink or swim
Wand: Cedar Wood, Phoenix feather, 12 ½" Length, Slightly yielding flexibility
"Whenever I meet one who carries a cedar wand, I find strength of character and unusual loyalty. The cedar wand finds its perfect home where there is perspicacity and perception. I have never yet met the owner of a cedar wand whom I would care to cross, especially if harm is done to those of whom they are fond." Olivander
A wand with this flexibility will initially resist new owners, but if the owner is persistent, it will warm up eventually. Wand owners with slightly yielding wands are often very kind and compassionate, but they may have some reluctance in trusting others since they possess a strong sense of skepticism.
Tumblr media

Divination
Tumblr media
When you are an adrenaline addictive introverted bookworm.
Childhood:
"Mongrel" isn't his real surname. When he was 11, Chris discovered himself at the doorway to a muggle charity school, a typical so-called bluecoat school in those times where orphans and kids from poor families lived and got educated (if they were lucky to get a place there). He didn't remember how he ended up there, how he got the fresh scar on his face, where he had lived before, who his parents were, not even his surname. 
A local boy passing by mentioned to Chris that weird kids with mental problems would never be accepted to any school, where there's not enough space even for "normal" children, and the best place for them is living on the streets or in workhouses. Chris didn't know if it was true but decided not to reveal to anyone that he didn't remember anything, just in case. 
The school's headmaster, a man with a strange, absent-minded expression (he was under the Imperius Curse), expected the new student to arrive that day. When Chris was asked his full name, he made up his surname promptly, saying the first word that crossed his mind. It was from the phrase the boy had told him, "Y'know, nobody wanna deal with mental mongrels like you."
Tumblr media
A bit later, Chris realised that some snippets of his childhood were still tucked away in his memory: the precious and warm moments with his father, a muggle professor at Oxford University. Nevertheless, Chris didn't remember his name or what had happened to him. His dad sometimes spoke with him in a foreign language. For example, Chris remembered that ‘misha’ meant an affectionate version of the word ‘bear’. 
Relationships:
★Before he arrived at Hogwarts (and some time after), he had been struggling with insomnia and nightmares, especially the repetitive ones about an unfamiliar (or not?) boy with cloudy eyes. The dragon attack was, of course, a shocking experience for Chris, but when he first entered the Slytherin common room, he was even more stunned to meet a person who resembled the constant participant of his nightmares, though 4-5 years older.
Tumblr media
★Chris and Ominis didn't get along at first. Or, more precisely, Ominis was hostile towards the new fifth-year. So even when he had to mention Chris to Sebastian, for example, he called him anything but by name. He could say "that walking magnet for troubles", "your accomplice", "your new best friend" (with some extent of sarcasm in his voice) or "the neophyte". It took him a while to address Chris by name for the first time.
Tumblr media
★Eventually, they became very close. During the 7th year, Ominis developed romantic feelings for Chris but kept it a secret for many years because he was aware of Chris' asexuality (which turned out to be demisexuality later). Chris realized that his feelings towards Ominis had evolved beyond platonic only in their late 20s.
Tumblr media
★For quite a long time after Chris arrived at Hogwarts, he mostly avoided people, trusting no one. Sebastian seemed friendly, but Chris was sure that it was only because of his ancient magic abilities, which possibly were a key to saving Anne. It took him some time to realise that Sebastian was actually a friend, not just someone he was hanging out with due to win-win cooperation.
Tumblr media
★Before Chris could finally open up to Sebastian and Ominis, his only friend was a wolf that he named Misha (because it was huge and more resembled a bear than a wolf). Chris stumbled upon him in the Not-So-Forbidden Forest. The wolf was seriously wounded after a fight with a dugbog but still tried to attack the boy, who wanted to help. Dealing with animals and beasts was really not Chris' cup of tea, and he was annoyed by the irrational creature, which did everything to prevent its own rescue. But eventually, they got along, Misha recovered, and he would even start running to meet Chris whenever he entered the forest.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
★Chris became good friends with Amit. He admired Amit’s thirst for knowledge, enthusiasm for researching his areas of interest and the ability to say no to things that make him uncomfortable.
Tumblr media
★Professor Fig was the first person Chris opened up to. One of the most profound regrets in Chris' life was his inability to muster the courage to call Fig 'Dad' while he was still alive. After Fig's passing, Chris withdrew further into his shell, isolating himself even from Ominis and Sebastian.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
★Chris contributed to making the Keepers' Wand with Olivander, offering what little help he could. Later, during the 6th and 7th years, Chris worked part-time for Olivander, mostly as an errand boy. He really enjoyed the job and became interested in crafting wands. Olivander helped Chris get over Fig's death.
Tumblr media
Some facts:
★Before Hogwarts, Chris had never participated in magic duels. In fact, he didn’t even know that magic existed, being very sceptical about it when Fig first told him about Hogwarts. But anyway, he had to hone his reflexes in the frequent scuffles at the charity school, full of boys with behaviour problems.
Tumblr media
★No matter the weather, he often feels cold, which makes him favour sweaters. When he was a student, his clothes, like most of his belongings, were quite shabby due to his extreme lifestyle and orphanhood. Besides, even when he earned some money by running errands like potion deliveries and later working for Olivander, buying new clothes was always his least priority. 
Tumblr media
★Having all the extra assignments and schoolwork to catch up on, he always tries to push himself to the limit, sometimes neglecting to sleep. Due to his low self-worth, he feels he must do the maximum to prove to himself that he matters like others. He’s either the best or nothing. He doesn’t value his life at all, which, together with adrenaline addiction, makes risking it daily easier. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
★He can forget to sleep but tries not to miss meal times as he was often hungry in the charity school. Not a picky eater. 
★When he's nervous, he uses humour as a defence mechanism. While sometimes it helps to discharge tension, it can also be not appropriate at all. 
Tumblr media
★He can easily break the rules if the pros outweigh the cons. 
Tumblr media
★The Sorting Hat doubted whether to place him in Ravenclaw or Slytherin, but settled on the latter. Maybe the idea of sorting a guy with the last name ‘Mongrel’ into Slytherin of all places seemed funny to it, idk. But Chris can defend himself, anyway - he's used to it.
★He isn't the type of person who says "I love you." often, but even if he does, it may sound like, 
"I think I love you." 
"You…think?" 
"Well, all the symptoms confirm the diagnosis". 
Tumblr media
★He had a hard time learning how to deal with emotions and feelings, mostly "postponing" them to process later. Though he rarely shows affection, it doesn't mean he isn't capable of it, but it takes him much time to open up to someone.
Tumblr media
★He can be manipulative and cunning with strangers but becomes a different person with close people, trying to be as honest as possible. Able to admit when he's wrong. Prone to unnecessary self-sacrifices when it comes to those he holds dear.

takin’ my last chances!! how about the road prompt with lucifer? also have a great day <3 i love reading your works ^^
Hello there, anon!
Ohh you got it in at the last second lol! I'm happy to hear you're enjoying my writing! I hope you have a lovely day as well!
Thanks for the request!
Tumblr media
GN!MC x Lucifer with prompt Road
Warnings: none!
Tumblr media
You were walking back to the House of Lamentation after a day at RAD. You had stayed late to help Lucifer with work and now the two of you were on your way back. You didn't often get to walk home with Lucifer, so it was nice to have him beside you.
Although the two of you walked in silence, it was comfortable. For once there was nothing pressing you needed to discuss and you could just enjoy the time you had in each others' presence.
You were about halfway home when Lucifer took your hand and pulled you in a different direction. You found yourself on a small side road that you had never noticed before.
"Where are we going?" you asked, squeezing his hand in the hope that he wouldn't let go.
He didn't. "I wish to take the long road home. You'll indulge me, won't you?"
You looked around. It was a quaint little back road that seemed to be running between small shops on one side and houses on the other. It was cobbled like most of the Devildom streets, with street lamps illuminating it. You noticed a plethora of hanging pots and flowering vines, too. Some of the buildings had little awnings over their windows.
"This road leads back to the House of Lamentation?" you asked.
"Indeed it does," Lucifer said. "Don't you trust me to take you home?"
You blushed. "Of course. I've just never seen it before."
"It will take us longer to get there this way," Lucifer said. He looked away from you, closing his eyes and blushing. "However, I find that I haven't spent much time alone with you lately."
And then you realized exactly what was going on. Lucifer didn't often tell you how he felt about anything and sometimes it was hard to tell what he was thinking. But now you saw that he wanted to take the long road home so that he could spend more time with you. It was such a sweet gesture, you couldn't stop yourself from smiling.
"I don't mind," you said. "This little road is so cute, I'm happy to walk home this way."
Lucifer seemed to accept this and the two of you made your way down the street. Most of the shops were either closed or just closing, since you had stayed at RAD until evening. You could see glimpses of busy demons cleaning up and locking doors.
Lucifer seemed more talkative then, chatting to you about different things going on at school or with his brothers.
When you saw that you had reached the end of the road and it brought you back to a different road you recognized as leading to the House of Lamentation, you felt Lucifer pause beside you.
You turned to him and found yourself in his arms.
"This has been most pleasant, MC," he said. "Would you be opposed to coming this way with me more often?"
You thought about teasing him. It would be so easy. Lucifer was nowhere near as needy for your time as all of his brothers were. But you had come to realize that he just wasn't as demonstrative about it. And being here in his arms was so nice, you could only really think about how much you wanted to spend more time there.
"Of course," you said. "Though next time, we should leave RAD a little earlier when some of those shops are still open."
"As you wish," Lucifer said. He pulled you in a little more and pressed a kiss to your lips.
After that, you became regulars on that little road and the shop owners expected to see both of you at least once a week. You would always be smiling, hand in hand.

❥ All I Want
Tumblr media
genre -> fluff
pairing -> enhypen x reader
warnings -> cursing, mc is drunk in heeseung’s
word count -> 0.8k
summary -> this request right here <3
Tumblr media
Heeseung
Heeseung watches on fondly as you stumble around. “Sweetheart, do you need some help maybe?” He asks despite knowing the answer. You grumpily mumble about something but Heeseung doesn’t know what. “Come on sweetie, get on my back.” Heeseung kneels down and waits for you to come closer so he can pick you up. “There you go love,” once he manages to pull you onto his back. “It’s about time we go home now, yeah?”
Jay
“Jagi, please.” Jay never begged. It was something that he had never done around you. So when he was on his knees, begging to give you a piggyback ride, it was certainly a sight to see. “Jay, not now! People are staring.” You shout whispered at him. “I’ll get up if you let me give you a piggyback ride!” Rolling your eyes, you admit defeat. Jay smiled before turning around to allow you on his back. Holding back a grin, you get on and let him carry you down the street. Though he never had to know that you only admitted ‘defeat’ to see him smile.
Tumblr media
Jake
After getting off the ferris wheel, Jake wordlessly offered to carry you on his back when he noticed you were starting to get tired. “It’ll be ok baby, I’ll just carry you to the bus and then we’ll go home and cuddle, ok?” Jake gave you his best puppy dog eyes, knowing that they were your weakness. When you accept his offer, his smile goes up to his eyes. Picking you up, he starts to walk towards the boarding location. Feeling your arms wrap a little tighter around his neck to not fall, he gently leaves a kiss to assure you that nothing bad would ever happen to you if he was around.
Tumblr media
Sunghoon
Sunghoon and you were currently stuck in a stare off. “Come one please, just watch me for a minute!” Sunghoon whined. “As much as I love you, I know me watching you is going to give you more of an ego.” Sunghoon whined even more at that. “Please I just wanna show you how cool I am!” “I already know how cool you are sweetheart.” Sunghoon rolled his eyes before whispering something under his breath. Rolling your eyes, you decide to just give in so that way you could leave faster. “Alright whatever, I’ll watch you for a minute.” At the end of your sentence, Sunghoon picked you up and placed you on his back before starting to do his squats. “Sunghoon what the fuck are you doing?!” “Just doing my work out sweetheart.” “I thought your work out had you using dumbbells!” “I decided to change it up for my special audience.”
Tumblr media
Sunoo
“Sunoo I told you that if I do something for you, you don’t have to repay me! I like doing things for you!” Sunoo pouted even more at that. “But I want to repay you! Pleaseeeeeee.” “Sun, I already said no.” “Fine then I just won’t be giving you any more of my photocards then.” Sunoo crosses his arms before turning his nose up. Relenting, you just sigh and say that you’ll let him give you a piggyback ride. “Yes! Thank you, thank you!” Kissing you cheek, Sunoo then bends at his knees and allows you to get on. He barely made it down the hallway before exclaiming, “I see why you like doing this with me, but I think I like being the one carried more.”
Tumblr media
Jungwon
“My love. You need to go to the doctor.” Jungwon just rolls his eyes when you whine from underneath the blanket. “Come on. If you don’t come out in 10 seconds, then I’m just going to have to carry you.” He counts down to one and when you still haven’t made an appearance, he drags the blanket off of ou before lifting you and maneuvering you to his back. “This wouldn’t have happened if you just listened to me from the start.” He teases. You just smile against his neck knowing that he would do anything for you.
Tumblr media
Niki
“I bet I’m stronger than Sunghoon!” You tuned out the seven boys arguing in the background. “Babe!” You glance up at Niki. “What’s up?” “Can you come here for a minute, I need to prove something.” Despite being suspicious, you decided to place your trust in your boyfriend. Walking over to him, you waited to hear what he needed you for. “Alright, can you sit on both mine and Sunghoon’s back and then we’ll decide who’s stronger.” “Why didn’t you ask the other boys?” “We did, they just rejected us, but I’ll buy you dinner if you do this.” You accept the deal. “Alright, Sunghoon, you go first.” Going towards Sunghoon, he lets you sit on his back. He had barely made it thirty seconds before Niki came over and started to attack his sides, making him drop you. “Alright your turns over! My turn!” Niki completely tuned out Sunghoon’s whines of him being unfair. Getting onto Niki’s back, laughing whenever he would dodge Sunghoon’s attacks, not noticing his giant smile when he hears it.

Flowers (Ethan x f!MC)
Book: Open Heart, book 2 Pairing: Dr. Ethan Ramsey x F!MC (Dr. Lilac Allende) Word count: 1 K Rating/ Warning: T/ Language
Premise: She is stung when he sends flowers to someone else on Valentine’s Day
Note: The timeline of this makes no sense but just pretend shhh lol
Tumblr media
“I'm not listening,” Lilac informs her determined friend, quickening her steps.
Kyra, on the other hand, is undeterred. She has no problem matching Lilac's long strides. A few nurses glance their way, no doubt amused by how the short brunette has to practically jog to keep up.
“Come on, Lil! What better day to break your dry spell than Valentine's Day!”
“Shh!”
Luckily, there is no one within earshot that Lilac can see.
“He's tall,” Kyra presses in sing-song, her grin brighter than the florescent hospital lights above them. “He's dark. He's handsome.”
Despite herself, Lilac rolls her eyes with a laugh.
“You're insane.”
“You love me.” Kyra punctuates that with a wink. “At least tell me you'll think about it? I think you'll really like Derek.”
With a dramatic sigh, Lilac finally relents. “Fine. I'll think about it.”
That was good enough to put her friend at ease. She grins wider than ever before and goes her own way, vanishing through her office door. Lilac, meanwhile, travels through the halls absently, feeling more like a ghost than a resident. Her mind races with the prospect of dating someone new…of finally moving on.
It makes her stomach drop unpleasantly.
“Rookie.”
The rich baritone makes her jump. For a wild moment, she wonders if all her desperate pining summoned him there. Then, she reminds herself to stop being so ridiculous and pathetic.
“Dr. Ramsey.”
They hold each other's gazes a beat too long.
“Is there something I can help you with, Dr. Allende?”
Lilac, love struck and momentarily stunned by icy blue eyes, could think of many ways he could help her. Instead, she forces herself out of her reverie and unsuccessfully wills her pulse to descend to normal speed.
“Yes. Miss Chapman's results came back. I reviewed them and everything looks normal.”
He nods once. “Excellent. Please set them on my desk. I will review them when I return from my meeting with Naveen.”
She nods, but doesn't move.
He doesn't either.
Neither wants to abandon this rare, private moment. The way his eyes study her face feels far more intimate than any caress. Her heart is a frantic hummingbird, its wings flapping fiercely against her ribcage. Its only relief would be tearing her chest open or kissing Ethan.
Neither are possible.
At last, Ethan moves away and disappears down the hall.
“Get a grip, Allende,” Lilac mutters to herself when she finally regains movement in her legs.
The solitude of his empty office is a relief. Before she can dwell on what a fool she made out of herself, she hurries to drop off the file atop the grand mahogany desk. The movement, however, sends the neat pile of papers flying.
“Shit!”
Frantically, she dances around the office, arms flailing above her as she tries to catch the hurricane of papers. If anyone walked in at that moment, they would get a kick of the ridiculous sight. Just when she thinks she's recovered everything, a small, yellow note catches her attention from the floor.
Liberty Street Flowers, the top reads in bold letters.
The rational part of her brain says she should pick up the receipt, set it on Ethan's desk, and promptly continue with her day. A curious and morbid fraction of her brain, however, wants to read on. That part ultimately wins because she brings the receipt close and reads:
Tumblr media
Something cold drills into her insides.
Lilac reads the receipt again, trying to make sense of it. Her eyes snag on the word "romantic" and her stomach drops to her feet. With a sickening feeling, she accepts the reality in her shaky hands.
The doors of the office open and she makes no effort to hide their receipt.
“Dr. Allende—”
The look on Lilac's face halts his steps.
“Are you alright?”
A deadly, poisonous silence heavier than lead follows. Then—
“I didn't take you for someone who celebrated Valentine's Day.”
More silence. 
This time, his meticulously crafted expression betrays confusion.
“I don't. Not usually.”
Unable to help herself, she scoffs. Lilac should know better than to lash out— she should be walking away, head held high, ready to privately lick her wounds. At least then she'd have her decency. But the unforgiving sting of jealousy overpowers her, robbing her of all common sense.
Fuck decency.
“I also didn't know you were big on sending flowers.”
Icy blue eyes fall to the paper on her hands.
“You went through my belongings.”
Lilac ignores this, too hurt and angry to give him any explanations. Her throat is so tight at this point that she can barely get words out. The tears sting her eyes but she will hold them back if it's the last thing she does.
Ethan's characteristic stoicism begins to shift into anger.
“Dr. Allende, might I remind you that going through my private—”
“You never sent any to me.”
The words are small but impossible to miss.
They are mighty, too, because they seem to strike him like a whip.
“Lilac.”
His expression softens into something she can't bear to look at. It is akin to empathy and pity.
She straightens, enraged.
“I always forget,” she continues, the words heavy with venom. “I was just a good fuck for you, wasn't I? Good enough to fuck in secret but not to send flowers to.”
Her words hit a nerve. Ethan's face floods with color, icy eyes flashing dangerously.
“You have no idea what you're talking about.”
His tone is deathly and collected.
“Who is she?”
“What?”
“Who's Audrina?”
They are standing close now, almost nose to nose.
“Is she someone you plan to spend more than two nights with?”
He says nothing.
“Are you eventually running away on her, too?”
“Enough.”
The single word is like a slap.
“You have no right.”
She staggers back. The words are the twist to the knife and yet, she can’t begrudge them. They’re undeniably true. 
“You have no right to act this way, Lilac. I am your boss and you're my employee. Who I send flowers to is none of your concern.”
He's right.
Lilac had no right to be jealous, no matter how desperately she loved him. 
That's the part that stung the most.
Those blue eyes pierce her and she loses all steam. Humiliated, she all but flees the office, finally letting the tears win.

Oh, Hello
Tumblr media
Mayans MC Masterlist
Part one of A Gentle Kind of Love.
Contains: Fluff, mutual pining, angst (endless longing and hints at a dark backstory, ) slow burn, flashbacks in italics.
6K words
Comment if you want to be tagged/removed or follow #a gentle kind of love.
"When I saw you, it was quiet for the first time in recent memory."
Tumblr media
You put your hand on your face, your side aching from laughter, "no Angel, despite what the TV shows tell you, we can't diagnose children with psychopathy, we have to wait until they're adults."
Angel huffed, "then what do they have?"
Manny waved his hand, "you told me this the other day, it's a conduct disorder."
You smiled, "that's right, you remembered."
Manny smiled, his eyes filled with cheer, "well sweetheart, everything you say is interesting so of course I remember." You felt a wave of embarrassment come over you. Just because you weren't going to give it away doesn't mean you weren't overwhelmed with shyness at the handsome Mayan's praise.
"I'm going to get myself some water, you guys want anything?"
Manny smiled, "a beer please Tesoro."
You walked over to the bar and Angel leaned close to his brother and spoke just loud enough for Manny to hear, "oh y/n, you're so smart, please let me touch your tits."
Manny huffed, "shut up man, just because I listen doesn't mean I want in her pants."
Angel smiled, "you don't just want in her pants, you want to make sweet, sweet love to her because you're all goo goo eyed."
Manny slapped his chest, "shut up, she's coming back." You handed the beer to Manny with a smile, not too long ago, you never would have thought this would be how you'd be spending every weekend.
You had been in Santo Parde for two months when you saw him on the street."Cruz, is that you?" You recognise those tattoos anywhere, Coco turned his head and broke out in a run towards you, leaving his friends behind to watch on as he wrapped you in his arms.
"What are you doing here?"
You smiled, "settling down, I had to trade off the blazing heat for the humidity but I got sick of the rain making my head hurt. How are you going?"
Coco smiled, "better, I'm six months clean."
You hugged him again, "that's wonderful news Coco, I'm so happy for you."
His friends wandered over, "are you going to introduce us to your friend Coco?" You smiled and stuck out your hand, "I'm y/n, it's a pleasure to meet you." 
The tall man smiled and accepted your hand, "I'm Angel, and this is my younger and much less handsome brother EZ."
Coco huffed, "don't even think about it man."
Angel raised his hands, "I wasn't doing anything, how did you two meet?"
Your faces fell, "oversea, I'm a trauma counsellor and went over there to help out, I work mainly with kids."
Coco smiled, "yeah, I think she spent more time giving us therapy than the kids."
You shook your head, "just thanking you for keeping me safe."
He laughed, "until you weren't."
You nodded, "yeah, that wasn't part of the plan."
EZ's brows wrinkled, "wait, you're that y/n?"
You smiled, "you been talking about me Cruz?"
Coco smiled, "just telling them how cool you are."
You shook your head, "it was nice to meet you two, I better be getting back home or my cats are going to kill me."
You did your best to avoid the Clubhouse parties on the weekends, too many loud noises and too many loud people but their sad faces every time you turned them down finally made you cave. It didn't take long for you to warm to everyone but Manny was a different story, the first time you met eyes, it was like you had known him your whole life.
You walked in and looked around, the Clubhouse was nice enough. It smelt like booze and smoke and sex and the music was just loud enough to be annoying. Coco stayed close as he took you around to his brothers, each one smiling softly as you introduced yourself. 
"Is that everyone?"
Coco shook his head, "nah, Manny and Riz are out, they'll be back soon." You sat with him and Angel, talking about what you thought of the town,
"So Coco tells me you're some kind of fancy Dr lady."
You rolled your eyes, "I have a PhD in psychology, not that fancy."
Angel smiled and turned his head, "hey golden boy, you've got some competition." 
Coco huffed, "sorry about him, EZ's the brains of our operation."
You shook your head, "I'm sure you cope just fine." A door opened and Coco stood up and waved the man over. You looked him over, he was tall, with long hair and a soft face.
"That's Riz."
You accepted his extended hand, "it's nice to finally meet you y/n, Coco's said a lot." 
"Where's Manny?"
Riz shrugged, "refuelling, he'll be in soon." Riz went off to deal with something else and you, Coco and Angel settled into an easy conversation, that was until the door opened again. 
Time slowed as the man walked in, he was tall too, maybe a little taller than everyone else and lean, his long neck made to look even longer by the block letters inked on it. He walked over at Coco's raised hand, a charming smile on his face. 
You stood up and he came closer, "I'm Manny." He took your offered hand, his skin was warm and rough, carved from years of manual labour, the rings in his fingers cold against your flesh as he squeezed gently.
"Oh, hello Manny, I'm y/n."
He smiled and said your name like he was tasting it, "hi y/n." His voice was the perfect mix of gravel and soft and you wished you could crawl into his long arms and fall asleep to the sound of it. 
"I know EZ is short for Ezekiel, is Manny short for Emmanuel?"
He smiled, he liked the sound of his name coming out of your mouth, "yes ma'am." 
Tumblr media
You had known everyone for three weeks when pulled Bishop and Coco aside early one night before things got busy, "I want to cook dinner for everyone. You've all been so welcoming to me and I want to say thank you."
Coco nodded aggressively, "fuck yeah."
Bishop glanced at him, "are you going to let me have a say, this is my charter."
Coco looked at Bishop like he had three heads, "you have to try her cooking man, she could turn an MRE into a feast. We'll all be there at six thirty."
Bishop smiled with a shake of his head, "thank you, we'll be happy to take you up on your offer."
You smiled, "wonderful, just make sure everyone texts me about their allergies and come hungry."
Tumblr media
You had planned the dinner for six thirty but Manny, Angel and Coco showed up at four. When you opened the door, Coco lifted a box filled with cans and bottles, "you know, I bought booze for tonight.."
Coco smiled, "we wanted to help out."
You sighed, "so I'll feed you before dinner or because you want credit?"
Coco walked in and tossed off his shoes, the others following, "both."
You shook your head, "alright, it's going to be a lot of work so I hope you're ready."
You walked them into the kitchen, Manny looked around, a curious look on his face, "where are your kitties?"
You pointed towards the back, "in the sunroom because I'm cooking. I'm feeling pretty unloved here, no 'how was your day y/n, what are you cooking?' you went right to the cats."
Manny shrugged, "your cats are cool."
You huffed, "well, you can see them once we're done here."
You explained what you needed them to do , "why does Manny get to do the icing while we're stuck cutting onions and chillies?"
You rolled your eyes, "because I know he has the self control not to eat it."
Manny smiled, "I won't disappoint you."
Angel and Coco shared a look, "this food better be worth my onion tears."
Coco chuckled, "trust me mano, it is."
They were actually quite helpful, although Angel couldn't cook for shit but he was a fast study, "you sure they'll be enough for us to take some home?"
You giggled, "yes, Coco, for the fourth time, unless everyone eats their weight in food, there will be enough for everyone to take leftovers."
The other arrived right on six thirty, Creeper pushing his way in, "are the cats out?"
You sighed, "Manny and Angel are with them in the sunroom." Riz smiled like he was going to ask you a question, "yes, you can meet them too, I think Lady Midnight will like you."
You had to bang on the door to get them to come out for dinner, "please stop making out with my cats and come and eat."
They left the sunroom with smiles on their faces, "they are very cute." You were right Lady Midnight liked Riz.
"I know, you should see them all curled up in a cuddle puddle. Is everyone ready to eat now?"
"Fuck yeah, it smells great." Bishop had already sat at the long oval table in the middle of the small dining room.
"We helped."
You smiled, "yes Coco, you, Manny and Angel were great helpers." The start of the diner was quiet, the only sound was people asking what they were eating, "good?"
Someone moaned, "mmm ah ha."
Angel swallowed his bite and put another one on his fork, "better than sex."
You laughed, "I don't know whether that was a compliment or you just told on yourself."
There was a burst of laughter and Hank tapped the table in humour, "oh, I like you."
Sadly, there wasn't much left over by the time dessert came, "you said there would be extra."
You shrugged, "sorry EZ, helpers get first dibs. Maybe there'll be dessert to take home, if there's any left."
There wasn't, they all left with full bellies, yawning and talking about doing this again. Manny lingered, helping you clean up, "you didn't need to stay behind, I have a dishwasher for when I have people over."
He smiled, "just because they're happy to be fed and leave doesn't mean I am, I had to thank you for doing so much work."
You smiled, "what a gentleman, or is it so we can pig out on the secret cake you saw me hide in the back of the fridge?"
He smiled, "you got me."
You sighed, "wipe down the table please, I'll go warm us up a slice."
Tumblr media
"Are you coming to the party this Friday?" Manny was leaning in your kitchen doorway, helping you make soup for Coco who was hauled up in bed with the flu. You had promised him extras if he helped you take it to him and that had turned into him spending the day assisting you.
"Yes, I don't have anything else better to do."
He smiled, "come on, a beautiful woman like you? I'm sure you could find someone to take you out?"
You smiled, "if you mean homicide then yes but I don't have people lining up at my door unless it's for food or cat cuddles."
A cat scream and soft paws landing on his knee stopped him from disagreeing with you, "little perv."
Manny laughed, "it's not his fault you don't have a beard for him to lick."
You smiled as Manny picked up the cat, "don't listen to her Mr Butts, you have good taste."
You shook your head, the cat rubbing his face on Manny's cheek, "can you put that little attention whore down and come and help me."
Manny smiled, "sorry little buddy, duty calls."
He opened up the cupboard with a smile, "I still can't believe you live in a fairyland cottage."
You shook your head with a smile, "life has to have some whimsy or it's sad and boring."
"Welcome to my home, please remove your shoes and no smoking inside."
Manny and Creep looked around, "gee, this place is nice."
You smiled, "thank you. I got it for a steal because it was in such a shit condition. I had to knock down three rooms but that gave me extra room for my garden.  Everything was finished like a day after I arrived, I'm just grateful people do consults online." 
"How many bedrooms?"
You pointed to the hallway, "two but I use the smaller one as a library, the couch pulls out if anyone needs to stay over."
Manny's hand grazed the hanging plant on the wall, "I saw a sun room when we drove in, that must be nice."
You nodded, "the best, but the cats love it more that I do." 
"MEEEEEEEOOOOOWWW."
"Speaking of, that would be Mr Butterscotch, he has a thing for beards."
Creep smiled, "you have a cat?"
You nodded, "three, they're all in the sunroom now, a lot of people don't like cats so I tend to keep them away when I have people over."
Manny and Creep looked at each other, "let em out, we like cats." 
Manny nodded in agreement, "cats are great."
You walked away to let them out with a shake of your head, "alright then, Mr Butterscotch will lick you, it won't be fun."
Manny waved his hand, "it can't be that bad." 
The rush of little feet had them smiling from ear to ear and they crouched down to greet the tiny creatures, "who's who?"
You pointed to the small black one, "that's Lady Midnight, she's very sweet but kinda judgy. The one rolling over is Sir Fluffernutter, pats only end when he says they do and if you stop before then he will bite you." 
Many laughed as the last cat climbed up his shirt, "I'm guessing this is Mr Butterscotch?"
You nodded, "yep, little perv." Creep wasn't paying attention, rather, he had one hand on Lady Midnight's head and the other scratching Sir Fluffernutter's chest. 
"Are they always this friendly?"
You nodded, "yes, Creep, they are. Now that you've met my cats, what brings you to my house?" 
Tumblr media
It was late afternoon, the sun was dropping in the sky, a pleasant wind picking. You had come to the Clubhouse to help set up early that Friday, the day free of work because of a burst pipe in your office building. You were carrying the cups from the sink to the cupboard on the other end of the bar with Gilly's help, Taza sitting at the bar drinking. 
"So what happened?" Gilly seemed genuinely interested.
You sighed, "it's a whole mess. I was in the middle of a session when I heard this bang and Penelope came rushing in with her patient. The ceiling in her room fell in, we're insured and we have a spare room but we've been kicked out till the builder can come tomorrow and see if it's safe." 
Taza put his beer down, "who's Penelope again?"
You smiled, "we met at a conference, her main job is helping with missing person cases but she does individual and group grief counselling three days a week. We decided to start working together when I moved here but we've been friends for years." 
"Do your work with adults?"
You shrugged, you hoped this was Gilly leading into asking for help for his combat trauma, "yes and no, we both work with parents and I sometimes talk to adults about trauma in their childhood but that's alongside their adult therapist. Having said that, I did a lot of adult stuff overseas and my door is always open." 
He swallowed and averted his eyes, "that's really good."
Manny walking in pulled your attention away, you waved to him and he trotted over, his face split by a grin, "you're here early?" 
You nodded "yep, burst pipe, I'm out of the office until they say it's safe."
Manny's face filled with concern, "is everyone ok, what are you and Garcia going to do in the meantime?" 
Gilly and Taza looked at each other, sharing a knowing smile, "we're all ok. One of the families waiting for their appointment is part owner of a building company. He can't help but his partner in Oakland can, he's coming to check it out tomorrow and we'll go from there. We should be alright to use other rooms but if not, there are spaces we can rent." 
Manny smiled softly, "if you need any help cleaning up, I'm happy to volunteer."
He looked at Gilly and Taza, his eyebrows slightly up, Gilly filled in the silence, "yeah, sure, we'll help too."
You smiled, "thank you gentlemen." 
"What's everyone talking about?" You rolled your eyes at Angel's voice.
"Hello Angel."
He smiled, "you're here early?"
You nodded, "yes, a pipe burst at the office so I thought I'd come by and help everyone set up."
Angel sucked in his tongue, "well, we're all happy to have you here, hanging around." His eyes were stuck on Manny. 
"MANNY, YOU LEFT YOUR WRENCH OUT AGAIN."
Manny rolled his eyes, "it's not my wrench, I better go sort this out." he sighed and left, leaving you with Angel, Gilly and Taza.
"What was that?" You shrugged at Angel's question.
"What was what?" 
Angel smirked, "you got this dreamy look on your face." He clasped his hands in front of him and batted his eyes, "oh Manny you're so handsome."
You picked up the towel and hit his chest with it, "shut up dude."
Gilly smiled, "you do look at him, at lot."
Your eyes wrinkled in confusion and barely there indignity, "I have no idea what you're talking about." 
"Sure you do, you've been looking at him like that since the day you saw him in the ring beating the shit out of that Yuma guy who was up Chanche's ass."
You hadn't been in town long, Coco had convinced you to visit the Clubhouse on the Sunday after your first party and see the place in the light of day. "It's much nicer without all the people here."
Coco smiled, "yeah, it's nice. Lettie is excited to see you again and Hope's here."
You smiled back, "I can't wait, lead the way." 
Coco walked you to where Lettie was standing, next to her was a woman you imagined was Hope. She offered you a smile and a handshake, "you must be y/n, Coco and Lettie are so happy that you decided to settle down here."
You and Hope got along like a house on fire, ganging up on Coco with Lettie as he stood there in embarrassment. A commotion pulled everyone's attention, Bishop was standing between Manny and the Yuma Mayan who had come to bring the last of Manny's stuff from the garage. You caught the tail end of the conversation, Bishop telling them the handle it in the ring, then shirts were coming off and fists were being taped. 
Angel wandered over and invited everyone to watch, "why do I want to watch Manny hit a stranger?"
Angel smiled, "long story, he deserves it." The small group walked over to the octagon, Manny was looking at the man with what could only be called hatred. But you were looking at him, his back was covered in the Mayan patch, his muscles firm under his skin. 
The fight was over fast, Manny was quick, the other member no match for his long limbs and fast hands. Angel cleared his throat next to you, "you enjoying yourself?"
You stuttered, "umm, he's very good at that."
Angel smirked, "sure, you know we all noticed that you spent most of the other night with him and he's usually face deep in someone by nine." 
You rubbed your face, "I'm new and I'm Coco's friend, he was probably just being nice." 
Angel gave you a strange look, "if you say so." 
Tumblr media
You were in the storeroom packing the extra beer away when Manny walked in, "you need a hand?"
You smiled, "sure, how have you been?"
He smiled back and started packing the shelves, "good, what about you?"
You broke down the box and threw it towards the door, "I've been great. You didn't need to help me."
Manny huffed, "well I wanted to, and look, we're already done."
You walk out of the storeroom only to be greeted by a smiling Coco, "what man?"
He chuckled, "nothing, I've just thought packing shelves was for prospects."
"Not when it's y/n doing it."
You jumped, Angel had come from nowhere, "dude, where did you come from?"
He shook his head, "I saw you two coming out of the backroom and I figured you had some fun, it's a shame you were only doing bitch work."
You shook your head, "shut up, both of you. Manny was just being helpful."
Coco raised his eyebrow, "sure."
Tumblr media
Manny's eyes kept glancing toward the door, "she's late."
Angel shrugged, "she probably had to stay back with one of her patients. Chill man, it's not like she's fucking some dude or something." Angel was right, you were only an hour late but Manny didn't wait for you, when you walked in, he had a woman in his lap and a smile on his face.
He might have missed how your shoulders fell when you saw it, but no one else did. "Hey y/n, how was work?"
You smiled softly, "good, long but it was good. What about you?"
Bishop smiled, "the same old, fixing bikes and dealing with these shitheads." You missed the way his eyes moved to Manny when he said that, "you seem sad?"
You shook your head, "nah, it's just been a long day."
You cast your eyes away as Manny looped his arm around the woman's back and took her into the dorms, an idea had Bishop smiling, "have you met our new prospect?"
You shook your head, "it's news to me." He took you over to the man in the prospect kutte, he had been a hang around for a while so you did know him.
"Hello Raul, the kutte suits you."
He smiled, "thanks y/n, can I buy you a drink?" You thought for a moment, pining after Manny wasn't doing you any good and while Raul was a poor substitute, he do to quell your growing need for human contact.
"I'll take a cream soda if you have them."
He smiled, "I think we do, Hank likes them."
He handed the old fashioned bottle to you with a charming smile, "thank you Raul."
You lost track of time talking to Raul, it was late at night when you were heading home, just as you were saying goodbye with a hug, Manny walked out and saw it, from his angle, it looked a lot warmer than it was. Manny sat down next to Angel who sighed, "looks like you missed your chance Mano." Manny shrugged, pining over you wasn't doing him any good anyway.
Tumblr media
The distance between to two of you only grew with time, he stopped waiting for you on party night and he stopped saving you a seat at more formal get togethers, you would walk into the Clubhouse and find him with another woman, seemly filled with joy that she got to bag the talk of the town that night. So you would find the prospect and spend your night with him, it was easier than answering everyone's questions about why you looked so sad or why you weren't talking like you used to.
Tonight's party was much louder than normal, you did your best to cope with the yelling and the loud music but it was getting to you. Raul seemed to notice your discomfort, "you wanna head to the dorm? It's kinda loud here and I can't hear myself think."
You smiled, "alright." You knew what you were getting into but judging by the noises coming out of Manny's room, he was busy making someone's night.
EZ and Coco watched you go, "so that's it I guess."
Coco shook his head, "nah, he's not her type. I doubt they're going to do more than talk."
EZ cocked his head towards the door, "it's getting really loud, I got to go check on Sally."
Coco nodded, "I'll come with."
Tumblr media
"You're not serious?"
Raul nodded, "I'm so serious, as serious as serious can be."
You laughed, "wow being a prospect kinda sucks."
He smiled, "it's not so bad with you here, they're nice to me when you're around."
You huffed, "I've mastered the art of the mum lecture." He chuckled then burst into full blown laughter when the sound of Bishop singing to Elvis floated through the walls.
As the laughter faded, the air changed and you were leaning in to kiss him like your head had a mine of its own. His lips were rough but his face was smooth when your hand came up to stroke his cheek. You shoved the thoughts of Manny down into the pit of your soul and focused on his rough hand on your forearm.
You paused, putting a hand on his chest, "we should talk about some stuff before this goes any further, make sure we're on the same page."
He huffed, "yeah, talk about how you're gonna suck my dick."
You sighed and stood up, "and we're done here. It was nice spending time with you Raul but I don't think we're compatible."
His eyes went wide and he looked at the door, "if you go out there, they'll never let me live it down."
You nodded, "I know, I'm not interested in answering questions anyway so I'm gonna head out the window, my car's not far."
You climbed out of the window with little trouble, walking to your car as fast as you could. You didn't expect to hear EZ shout as you walked by his trailer, "hey y/n, I didn't see you come out the front."
You smiled, "umm, yeah. Raul isn't my type. I jumped out the window to avoid anything like this happening."
Coco got stiff, "did he.."
You cut him, "no, no. We're just better of as drinking buddies." They nodded, "I'm going to head home, my cats are missing me."
They smiled at each other and with one last pat on Sally's head, they went inside. It didn't take long for someone to pick up on the mood, Hank walking over, "what's got you two all weird?"
EZ smiled, "where's y/n?"
Hank rubbed his face, "doing the same thing Manny is, making a mistake."
Coco shook his head, "nope, she went out the window ten minutes ago."
Hank smiled, "no?"
Angel walked over, seemingly picking up on whatever was going on, "what is everyone so secretive out?"
Hank smiled, "our prospect swung and missed at the good doctor."
Angel smiled, "how do you know, she doesn't seem like the type to kiss and tell."
EZ glanced at the dorm door, "we caught her going out the window."
Angel pressed his lips together, "oh wow, that's rough. Maybe Manny…"
"What are you fucks gossiping about?"
Bishop could tell that they were planning something, "nothing pres."
He didn't buy it, "bullshit, talk."
Hank's face broke into a grin, "looks like love is still in the air between Manny and y/n."
Bishop shook his head, "grow up, you all need hobbies."
Tumblr media
"You should have been there, she was moaning and whimpering like she hadn't been fucked in years." They all sat around and listened to Raul brag, unbeknownst to him, Manny was the only one who was in the dark about what really happened.
Angel shook his head, unimpressed that the soon to be ex prospect was lying about you "dude, we know she's hot and all but we don't want to hear about this, she's our friend."
Raul chuckled, "alright, more memories for me."
The smirk on his face had Coco ready to blow, "let's call y/n, she's on her lunch break and see if she's ok with us hearing about this."
The prospect waved his hands, "you sure you wanna do that? I don't know if the lady…."
Manny cut him off, "do it Coco, let's hear it for her." Bishop rolled his eyes, they were like little boys.
"Great, everyone be quiet, she'll only talk on speaker if she thinks it's just me and her."
He called you and you picked up on the second ring, "to what do I owe the pleasure of your call?"
Coco smiled, "I wanted to talk about the other night."
You paused, "am I on speaker?" No one made a sound.
"I'm alone, I'm in the middle of something. You wanna tell me what had you ducking out bedroom through the window?"
"Coco, we've been over this. I don't want to humiliate the poor boy."
It was hard to miss Manny's smile, "come on, it will be like old times, give me the dirt."
You sighed, "you're not going to leave this be until I talk and I want to know why."
Coco glared at Raul, "he's bragging that you two fucked, he's been going into detail."
"What?" The upset was clear in your voice and if looks to kill, Manny would have killed him five times over.
"Graphic detail."
You huffed, "I should have walked out the front and put up with the questions. The guy's an asshat Coco, I thought he was being nice to me just to be nice but turns out all he wanted was in my pants. The moment shit got heated, I tried to put on the brakes so we could talk like adults and the dude basically demanded a blow job. I can't tell you to not vote him in but if you do, I think you'll have a lot of unsatisfied women walking around."
"Wow, why didn't you say anything?" Coco knew the answer, he was trying to get you to put your foot in your mouth so this dance between you and Manny would end.
"Why do you think? I tried Coco, I really did but I don't think I'm cut out for the party lifestyle. I miss my cats and my fluffy slippers. Dude, I'm not a teenager anymore, I like my bed and not having to see… You know what. I've already said too much, please don't let this get back to anyone."
"Alright then, thanks for clearing that up."
You sighed, "no worries." You sounded sad.
"You coming this Friday?"
Manny felt his heart race, "nah, I got a tub of ice cream and a horror movie with my name on it."
Manny knew that we wouldn't be back, there was something about the way you spoke that told you he lost his chance, "well that sucks, I guess I'll have to come to your place to hang then?"
"That would be for the best, pass my love onto the guys."
Tumblr media
They didn't see you that Friday or Saturday, nor the next week. Manny had barely said a word since that day on the phone, too deep in thought to do much. It took till church for it to come to a head, "I don't even want him prospecting anymore, he's got months left and no one can stand him."
Bishop huffed, "this isn't about him, this is about you and y/n. You've barely said a word since that phone call."
Manny scoffed, "he's a fucking disrespectful liar."
Hank sighed, "we ain't taking his patch, and you need to talk to her. We miss her and she's not going to come back until you clear the air."
Manny shook his head, "I don't see what there is to talk about, she's the one that vanished."
Coco huffed, "man, she's shy. She watched you crawl into bed with everything with a face while she sat at that bar waiting for you to notice that she came here every week for you, You really think she's coming back here after that kind of humiliation?"
Manny scoffed "bullshit man, she's being nice to me. What happened with the prospect has nothing to do with it." There was back and forth after that, a lot, enough that the volume in the room grew.
"That fucking enough!" Bishop wasn't impressed, "your petty whining isn't going to help. You think she wants you at each other's throats over her." He pointed at Coco, "go over there and see what's going on in her head, and you." Manny clenched his jaw, "be a man and handle your shit."
Tumblr media
"Hey Coco."
He smiled and lifted the bag in his hand, "I brought your favourite."
You invited him in as he took his shoes off, "are you coming here to hang out with me, or my cats?"
Coco chuckled, "both, Lady Midnight is my best friend."
You gasped in fake offence, "what about Sir Fluffernutter, you'll break his little heart if he hears that."
"Lady Midnight doesn't bite me if I stop petting her."
You chuckled, "he's just letting you know how much he loves you."
Coco put the food down and went to get the bowls, "where have you been? We miss you."
You shrugged, "busy. I told you I'm not the partying kind."
"Meow, meooooooooooow." Coco smiled and picked up Mr Butts, "little perv."
Coco shook his head and picked the cat up, "he's sweet."
You laughed, "he's a little perv." Mr Butts started licking Coco's face while you portioned off the food.
"Why are you really here?"
"Manny."
You threw your hands up in the air, "what about him, good Lord Coco, please leave well enough alone."
He shook his head, "it ain't well enough, you two have to stop dancing around each other."
You put your hands on your hips, "Coco no, be logical for one fucking second and think about it. The man knows nothing about me, what do you think he's going to do when he gets the gory details?"
"Think you're a badass."
You put the bowls on a tray and carried them toward the table, "no he won't. He will run and hide like the rest of them, how the fuck do you even expect me to start that conversation. I'm not looking for sympathy Coco."
Coco sighed, "you want me to tell him?"
You stomped back to the kitchen to get napkins, "no fucking way. I haven't seen you in two weeks, please just drop it so we can have the food."
Coco put the cat down and sat next to you, "he's going to ask questions eventually."
You rubbed your face, "then I'll deal with it, or I'll avoid him until he loses interest."
"Alright then." You tucked into the food, hopeful that the subject was dropped.
"Are you coming back to the Clubhouse?"
You shook your head, "no, I'm not. The heat's fucking with my head anyway, I have had a migraine four days this week. Being in a place that stinks like booze, smoke and sex isn't going to help."
"The guys miss you. Poor EZ walks around like a lost puppy looking for someone to talk to about smart people shit."
You smiled softly, "well, he has plenty of smart people around him if he'd just try. You all know where I live, if they want to see me that bad, they can come here."
Coco nodded, "I guess you're right. Lettie is really interested in that course you told her about.
You smiled, "is that because of your mum or you and Hope?"
Coco tilted his head, "nah, me and Hope, I don't think she thinks about my mom any more than I do. Hope's been good for her."
"Lettie is a good kid, I don't know why you were worried about them getting along. She wants you to be happy and it's pretty apparent that Hope loves you."
He smiled, "I love her too, things are really good." His eyebrows went up, "which reminds me…"
"Coco, no. Just let me bask in your happiness. And as for Lettie, I can get her a job in my office. She'll have to start doing intake interview but if she's a good fit, Garcia can get her into group work while she studies."
Coco's face broke out into a grin, "I think she'd love that. Thank you y/n."
Tumblr media
You were cornered at the butcher shop by Angel, "when are you coming back?"
You sighed, "not you too. I'm not, like I told Coco, you know where I live. If you want to spend time with me, then you can do it at my place."
Felipe raised his eyebrows, "son, I thought you knew better then to meddle in lady's affairs."
"See Angel, listen to your father."
Angel stopped you just as you were walking out the door, "at least come to the barbecue this weekend. Marcus will be there, Coco told everyone so much about you and he wants to meet you."
You rolled your eyes and went to respond but Angel stopped you, "Canche will be there, we all hate him after what happened in the desert, we need you for moral support."
You exhaled, "fine, but it's your fault if shit gets weird."

You must have stared at the dress for an hour before you put it on, you knew going to this thing was a mistake but Angel wasn't going to let you say no. After fixing your hair quickly, you picked up your bag and walked out the door, kissing Lady Midnight between her tall ears before you left, "don't look at me like that, I know I'm making a mistake."

Obey me! Replaced mc au brainrot
Mc=Noah (cause I don't like just saying mc, ik this isn't accurate btw I'm just a sucker for angst lol)
This contains explicit and harmful content, so, warning.
Part 2:
When a new student from the human realm was announced, I didn't think much of it
I thought maybe I'd get to make a new friend, hang out with them, hell maybe they could tell me everything that went on in the human realms while I was gone.
But not this
I'd never thought that she would completely take my place, it's weird saying it now.
Take my place, huh?
It was foolish of me to think I'd actually matter in their lives, their demons for fucks sake!
For all I know their waiting for the day to kill me.
Well, it wouldn't be the first time eitherway
My hand immideatly went to gently rub my throat remembering how belphegor had killed me in a brutal and slow way after I helped him escape.
Belphegor, weird, I normally just call him belphie.
Guess habits change.
I walked out of my room, messy RAD uniform and deep eyebags under my eyes, beautiful I know.
I walked into the dinning hall and everyone was with Angelica, the new student I was thinking about earlier, they were huddled around her as she told a story from the human realm.
I simply sat down and stared at my breakfast, deciding I'm not hungry I called out to beel.
He was the only one not fully engrossed in her story, simply listening while eating.
He turned his head to me and I walked over to him.
-"here, I'm not hungry bud, and your well, always hungry"- I smiled at him and silently cursed myself for the awkward phrasing
-"no, keep it."- said beel as he pushed my plate towards me.
-"beel, did you just reject food?"- I asked smiling at him, slightly nervous as to why.
-"no no, I would gladly accept it, the thing is that, I haven't seen you eat a proper meal in a week Noah"- he said as he handed me my plate, worry filled in his normally blank eyes.
-"Beel I'm fine I promise, please, take it."- I spoke through an honest smile.
-"no, you haven't been eating lunch or dinner either"- he said stubbornly as his voice raised a bit.
His brothers started to notice the commotion and slightly stared at us from time to time.
'shit, this is not how I wanted this to go' I thought to myself
-"I promise I have, I just arrive earlier than you and take it back to my room."- I spoke through a nervous aura, tensing up every few seconds
-"whenever I arrive your plate is there and served to the brim"- he spoke again, voice never flattering as he grabbed my wrist that was sliding my plate towards him.
-"well then, I didn't know that, someone must be refilling it, I'll make sure it doesn't happen again yeah?"- by this point the brothers were paying more attention to you than Angelica and were starting to grow suspicious of your odd and worrying behaviour.
You gave him your plate, waved at the brothers goodbye and left as soon as you entered.
-'Fuck..I can't go to RAD today, I can't stand the thought of confronting them, especially beel'- I thought as I ran a hand through my hair and then down my face.
I went to my room and pulled out my motorcycle keys, then the box hidden under the bed.
I made my way down the building with nobody noticing I was still there
The sound of a powerful motor echoed as I set out into the street, I admired the scenery around me but then remembered I forgot my helmet
-'Fuck it, it's fine, I normally don't ride with my helmet on'- I thought as I continued the way through the Devildom.
Blurry shops and demons all lined my view as I sped up through the busy streets.
I silently sighed as I arrived at my destination
It was a giant cliff with a barrier protecting the demons from the fall, it was very popular for it's beautiful view
I occasionally came here, normally on Saturdays on Sundays since I didn't have school those days but eh.
I doubt Lucifer will even care for a single missing day with demons missing school almost everyday
I sat down on the barrier and pulled out my stuff from the box.
Cigarettes and lighters.
I lighted one and felt the welcoming feeling of the drug invite me in.
Devildom cigarettes had 10x more effect than normal ones so as a human I fell under the influence rather quickly.
I stared at the view infront of me and stood up on the barrier
I took another puff and slightly let my thoughts wonder.
How couldn't I let my thoughts run? After all I had never been more alone.
Even in the human realm I was well known for my good grades and...devilish personality some would say.
I talked back to teachers, skipped class, did all types of drugs for whatever the reason and drank till I passed out.
I was never fully mentally stable and my body was concrete proof of that.
Scars, burn scars, littered almost every corner of my body.
There were scars on my arms and forearms, stomach, chest, legs and thighs.
I hated myself and I made sure that message got through to myself.
My scars weren't something to be ashamed of, infact I loved them, I remember I always showed them off when I was at any mental health meeting.
When this new school year rolled around that habit stopped.
Apparently me wearing a short sleeved shirt that revealed my scars was gruesome for Angelica.
I remember the day as if it was yesterday
I was walking through the halls, it was an early Saturday morning and I was wearing a shirt with no sleeves getting ready to accompany beel to the gym.
I smiled at myself in the mirror, loving the way my scars were on show.
Soon enough Angelica came in talking with mammon about who knows what
-"ready to go beel?"- I asked him with a smile he smiled back at me and said
-"yeah just one second, I left my protein drink in the kitchen"- he got on his feet and went jogging to the kitchen
I pulled my playlist up on my D.D.D and scrolled through the songs until I found one that I liked I reached for my headphones and Angelicas scream pierced through my ears.
I covered my ears while Lucifer and Satan, who had just entered the room came running to her side.
I looked at her wide eyed, wondering what caused such a reaction.
She was crying as she held her hands over her mouth, squeezing her eyes shut.
-"Angelica?! Answer me! What's wrong?!"- asked Lucifer, panic seen in his normally calm eyes.
-"T-their scars"- Angelica stuttered through tears
-"Who's scars?"- asked Satan a bit more calmly trying to understand the situation
-"Noah's! Noah's arms!, I can't bear to look at them"- she spoke once again through sobs as she sobbed into her hands
The demons heads snapped up at me, I shrugged and tried to continue my day.
Key word, tried.
Lucifer stood up straight and stared at me
-"Noah come with me, quick"- said Lucifer, I spread my arms and did a 'seriously?!' motion as I followed him
Angelica only sobbed louder as she saw the numerous scars on the other side of my arm
-"Noah!"- yelled Lucifer from the other room, a warning
I rolled my eyes as Angelicas screaming was starting to get on my nerves
-"oh suck it up! I'm the one with the scars not you!"- I yelled at her, pissed off that I was the one getting punished for something as ridiculous as this
-"NOAH!"- screamed lucifer, even madder from the other room,
-"I HEARD YOU THE FIRST TIME GRANDPA!"- I screamed as I left the room, the sounds of slight laughter being shot down by Angelica screaming at them for laughing as I closed the door.
-"yes, Lucifer?"- I asked, clearly annoyed as I stared at him crossing my arms, he simply scoweld at me as he slightly glared
A look I knew too well from the beggining of my first year at RAD.
-"given Angelicas reaction and your..actitude, towards it."-
-"from now on, it's mandatory for you, especifically, to wear a long sleeved shirt at all times, and I think this goes without saying but just to be clear, you aren't allowed to wear anything that shows your scars"- I stared at him in bewilderment.
All this for a girl he met a week ago?! Seriously?!
-"meaning, no shorts, no bathing suits, no exposing clothes, nothing along the lines of that"- he said as he slightly glared at me, we were the same height so it was easy for me to glare back.
I scoffed and looked at him.
-"this is fucking ridiculous, what, just because this random girl doesn't like some scars I have to change my entire wardrobe for her?! Fuck no!"- I yelled at him, I was pretty sure the other brothers could hear us two yelling but I didn't give a single shit.
I wasn't going to change everything for this random ass pretty girl I met barley a week ago.
That's absurd!
-"Yours scars are triggering for her, who knows when it might happen to another student when you decide to take off your jacket in class?!"- he yelled back at me stuff even he knew, were false and completely out of his ass.
-"Don't make me laugh! We both know the entire Devildom had seen my scars and none of them, GIVE A SINGLE FLYING SHIT"- You screamed at him, was it a bad idea? Yes Did you care? No, no you didn't
He massaged his temples with his fingers and glared at you.
-"I don't think you understand, I'm not asking you permission for this shit, I'm TELLING you, ORDERING you"- he screamed and you just scoffed at him.
-" well then! Fuck you too Lucifer! FUCK YOU TOO!"- you yelled at him, as you slammed the door on your way out.
The brothers stared at you in bewilderment and even Angelica stopped crying to give you a wide eyed look for talking back to Lucifer like that
-"not so triggering for you now, huh?"- I spoke through venom as I made my way to the kitchen where beel was packing some last minute snacks
I sighed and looked down at the joint in my hand at the memory
Smoke slowly coming out as I continued on my feet on the rail.
I couldn't believe how much this girl had affected me in less than a month.
I was forced to wear clothes I didn't like, be in charge of Angelica 24/7 since mammon barley did his job, relapsed terribly, got a terrible sleep schedule because of being forced to room with Angelica, lost motivation to do anything really, I didn't even feel hungry anymore.
Everyday Im just the walking skin of the person I used to be.
I took off the annoying sweater I had to wear, and stared at my arms, slowly rubbing my scars as a way to calm myself.
-"Nice scars yo!"- Spoke a demon on rollerblades as she sped beside me giving me a cocky smile
I smiled back and waved as a way of saying 'thank you!'
-"triggering others my ass"- i spoke softly bringing the drug between my lips before i got an idea.
I slowly sat down as I brought the burnt side of the cigarette to my arm, the feeling of burning skin brought me inner peace as I continued running it down my arm.
Blood slowly dripping as my arm got dirtied by the ash creating a gory wound behind.
The fire completely out by now as I put my sweater back, and rode to RAD, smiling to myself from the pain coursing through my arm.
As much as I didn't want to, I went to the nurse, it could get infected and that's the last thing I want to be honest, it's a pain in the ass.
After my lovely visit I went to my next class, which I regrettably had with Angelica.
-"Hey!"- she smiled at me as I arrived and sat next to her
I gave her a quick forced smiled and leaned on my arm.
Quickly shooting back as I had played down on my injured one, I gritted my teeth and shut my eyes
-"are you ok?!"- asked Angelica, worry sparkled through her features and eyes, as she held my arm gently
-"I'm fine.."- I muttered as I retreated my arm.
Angelica still looked worried and I could tell she could smell the horrid smell of cigarette on me.
I had a long week, Angelica wouldn't leave me alone, and my visits to the cliff with my lighter and cigarettes became more and more ordinary, the demon brothers pushed me away even more and we're starting to treat me horribly.
Lucifer would straight up ignore me and the only time he would speak to me was when he was screaming at me for my bad grades, oh yeah, did I mention? My grades took a downfall because of my, situation.
Mammon would steal and take my money from my room all the time, to either sell or give to Angelica, normally I wouldn't care but very important stuff has stared going missing and it's anger inducing
Levi would treat me like trash, straight to the point. Wonder what happened to the leviathan that would stay up all night playing videogames with me and would always invite me to read his magas with him.
Satan and Asmo just insulted me to no end, Asmo saying stuff about my looks and fashion sense, Satan about my likes in books and stories, judging everything about me.
Beel and belphie stayed quiet on the whole matter, they weren't close with Angelica and beel didn't really trust her so they stayed on the neutral side, but by doing that they distanced themselves away from me.
All for her.
For the shiny new girl.
Fuck them
Fuck her
And most importantly
Fuck me.
The burning of the lines became a known and welcoming feeling.
I was in my room reading a book I found in the library
I honestly couldn't care since I was more concentrated on my thoughts and burning arm than the pages filled with knowledge Infront of me.
Suddenly the room to my room shot open and I got on my feet.
An angry Lucifer followed by the worried faces of Angelica and the other siblings came into my room.
Great, what did I do now? I simply sat down as Lucifer continued glaring.
He simply slammed a box Infront of me.
Not just any box, my box.
Filled to the brim with bloody bandages, cigarettes, lighters, and bloody tissues.
I knew that if I acted surprised or looked over at my bed too see if it was the real one and not just some test it would be suspicious.
So I simply stared at the box and raised an eyebrow at him.
-"nice collection I guess"- I stated simply as I pulled out my D.D.D and started scrolling through devilgram.
-"Don't bullshit me Noah, I know this is yours"- he stated as he put his arms on my desk and leaned closer, his eyes weren't angry as I thought they would be.
They showed concern, sadness, worry.
What a joke.
I looked at him weirdly while everyone else stood stiff behind him.
"no it isn't, why would I need all that for?"- I said, pointing at the box.
I reached over and analysed the bloody bandage as if I didn't recognize the blood and smears.
Remembering how I dragged the cigarette across my arm, putting it out the farther it went, grabbing a tissue to wipe away the ashes and blood, applying the bandage over it.
Putting that ugly sweater on once again.
-"ew.."- I muttered throwing it into the box again.
Before I could retreat my hand, Lucifer reached towards and grabbed my arm.
It hurt like hell and I could feel the burns burning even more than normally.
The newest one slowly dripping droplets of blood, that have thankfully, not seeped through the fabric of the shirt and jacket I'm wearing.
-"what the fuck are you doing Lucifer"- I said, trying to break away my arm from his deadly grip but his firm hand never even flattered
-"Show us"- he spoke through gritted teeth
-"show you what exactly Lucifer?!, What do you want?!"- I asked him, taking my other arm and pulling on the other, trying to get it away from his grip.
I needed to keep a coolhead though, don't let them see you in a weak moment.
You gave up even if your brain was panicking in reality, thinking of every possible away to get away from them.
-"Come on Noah.., if ya don't have anything to hide, just show us ya arm, right?!"- spoke up Mammon since everyone else was in shock trying too see what would happen.
You stared at them.
And there she was.
In all her glory, cuddled up between the brothers on the verge of tears.
As if she was the one who was being interrogated and blamed.
As if she was the one hurting with thousands of burns on her arms.
As if she was the one drinking all her guilt away with wine and alcohol.
As if she was the victim.
I glared at Lucifer and used my magic to get him off me.
I could have used the pact but that would be suspicious, hence I barley use the pact to get the demon brothers to do something for me.
-"Jesus Christ man..."- I spoke softly as I rubbed my sore arm.
The brothers just deadpanned at me for a second but then returned to the matter at hand.
Lucifer glared and made his way around the table and Infront of me.
-"Fine then"- he turned around and glared at the group on the other side of the room
-"all of you take off whatever jacket or sweater your wearing and if your wearing a long sleeved shirt, pull it up"- he glared and everyone did as they were told immideatly
'and they say he kisses Diavolos ass godamn..'- you stared weirdly as everyone followed Lucifer's directions
He went around and checked their arms, then showing them too me.
Not a single one had a recent scar that would have been created by the stuff on the box
He circled back to me and glared as he stretched out his arm for me to give him mine.
As a last minute decision I casted a spell that allowed me to hide my scars.
I didn't do this since the beggining since there was a huge chance it might not work, hence it's a newly learned spell.
I scoffed and took off my sweater, hoping to any god or entity that it worked.
Luckily when I rolled up my sleeves, not a single scar in sight I relaxed a ton but didn't let anyone notice.
Lucifer simply examined them before he grabbed it tightly and pulled me towards him.
I tried to break free but I heard his voice, for everyone in the room to hear, especially me.
-"if you aren't hurt.., then, what's this?"- he spoke as he slowly raised his hand which was examining my arm filled with blood and burnt skin.
I stared in shock as I looked down and noticed the spell had worn off because I relaxed.
The brothers all stared wide eyed and some gasped.
Angelica broke out into tears but the brothers didn't pay any mind to it.
-'thats new'- I thought as I looked at their figures from Lucifer's shoulder since he still hadn't let me go.
He let go of my arm and hugged me and I felt him wrap his arms around me, his warm embrace brought tears to my eyes since it's been months since I felt it.
I hugged him back and hid my face in his shoulder as to not let anyone see my tears
I wanted to do nothing but make him let go of me, to scream and curse at him every profanity that came to mind.
But after finally being cared for after months of feeling nothing, felt so nice.
After that feeling of euphoria died I pushed Lucifer away and put on my jacket again.
-"Leave."- I spoke coldly as I didn't dare to meet their eyes.
-"Noah, please let us help you.."- spoke asmo carefully as he took a step towards
-"Are you all deaf, I said, Leave."- I spoke harshly once again.
-"c'mon Noah.."- spoke Mammon as he came closer.
-"why do you guys even care?!"- I yelled at them, Angelica flinching to which I just rolled my eyes at.
-"Because we care about you!"- yelled back Mammon
I scoffed and spoke -"sure you do, if you care then why have you guys been treating me like shit?"-
They all looked away knowing they were guilty
-"just admit you don't care and leave, go back to having fun with Angelica and leave me again."- I spoke as I simply glared and went to take my box.
Satan grabbed it before I could teach it and so I glared at him before walking over
-"Satan, give that back"-
-"listen, I know we..fucked up, but please give us another chance, we never knew this would happen, please."- I just grabbed the box and pulled it out of his grip.
-"yeah you guys fucked up, but you only care once stuff like this happens, what if you hadn't found the box? I'll tell you what, you would continue treating me like shit until I snapped because the guilt is eating you alive, it's not because you care or because your worried, it's so that you don't have to live with this guilt on your conscience for the rest of the year."- I knew some of what I was saying was a lie.
I could tell in their eyes they were worried and sad, that they were truly sorry.
But I wasn't going to forgive them easily.
Because part of what I said was true, they only cared once it came to this.
-"besides how did you even find the box"- I spoke harshly as I hid it again.
-"Angelica was commenting to us about how she was worried about you"- well that's new
-"and Mammon decided to look around your room too see if he could find something, then he found it..."-
You only scoffed at them before taking your backpack full of your stuff and clothes and leaving the room.
-"Noah! Where are you going?!"- spoke one of the brothers after you.
-"Purgatory hall"- you said bluntly continuing your path.
-"wait! Noah please! Let's talk things out!"- begged beel, being the only one who could keep up with you.
-"what's there to talk about?"- you muttered as you took a sharp turn
-"everything! Just please.."- Beel said as he grabbed your hands and put them to his forehead and he looked at you through tears.
-"Don't leave us..."- as some tears fell from his face
-"I'm sorry beel..but that's not your decision to make."- you pulled away and left the house of lamentation, not to be seen in a good while.

Could you do hcs for the M6 + Valerius with a tiefling MC? Yknow, brightly colored skin, horns, tail, sharp teeth, all that? How'd they react if someone started saying things about their appearance? Im a nerd and like dnd and other fantasy games/settings so I like to imagine fantasy races being in The Arcana universe, just being a little rare. Love your stuff by the way!
Thank You! Sorry if this came out later than expected, I was writing exams.
The Arcana HC #14
I know nothing about Tieflings, when I think of them I think of Nixie from All For One. I'm not gonna lie this was a bit of a challenge for me since I have some writers block.
I don't know if The Devil counts as part of the Infernal Legacy trait, so assume there are Demon Lords.
Asra
They knew that there were still some people in Vesuvia who would be opposed to you, so they tried to avoid them as much as possible and always had a retort if they ever commmented about them, but was beyond disgusted when someone said something about you.
It was the city's resident loud-mouth, so once people saw Asra step towards them, they all left.
To make the fool pay for insulting you, they put as many hexes and jinxes on them, while he
To make Asra's job easier, Faust eventually wrapped around the offender, tightly, but not enough to cause any serious damage.
Once they let them go, they go to comfort you by taking you back to the shop for some tea.
They tell you that they'll cast spells, encahantments & etc, to make sure they don't harass you again, then proceeds to tell you about all the qualities good & bad that they love about you & that they don't care about your appearance.
Nadia
She has always known that not many people are accepting of other species and has had to help resolve some of these conflicts in Pakra, but Vesuvia was relatively peaceful, so she was absolutely appalled that someone would say that about you.
You and her were entertaining and mingling with visiting royals, nobles and Nadia's family, when a young royal made their comment about you.
As soon as Nadia heard that she stopped playing her instrument and calmly walked over to the royal, before glaring daggers at them before trying to give a good slap to their face, but was luckily held back by her siblings, so all she could do was shame them & put them under room arrest.
She was even considering letting Chandra to attack them for her, which Chandra would have done but decided to help hold Nadia back from trying to beat up the fool.
She grabs your arm & takes you with her to the gardens, where she got the staff the set up a luncheon just for the two of you.
Once she seems to have cooled off, she tells you about her plans to create a better environment for non humans, than tells you that she loves you.
Julian
He has travelled to many citites and knows from experience, how some people treat Tieflings, Vesuvia was relatively better, but he expected something to happen sooner or later, but was caught completely off guard when someone commented something about you, specifically.
You two were having your usual round at the Rowdy Raven with Malak, when a loud drunk insulted you, the whole bar went quite., while Julian was fuming as he got closer to the drunkard.
Julian's performance was enough to convince everyone that there was probably a reason he was put on Wanted posters. He berated & used medical threats on them. The patrons even joined in, removing the drunk from the bar & kicking them to the streets.
Malak, during Julian's threats, was just emphasising how painful all of Julians threats would be.
When the drunk is gone, you two go back to you're booth, while he asks if you're alright before getting a last drink for you both before heading to the docks.
When you get to the docks, you both take a seat by the ledge, where Julian begins to recount marvelous tales about Tieflings then about how you beat the Devil. before telling you that some people won't change but it's best to ignore them, before gently kissing you & leaning against you.
Muriel
He thinks everyone, except for evil people, should be treated with respect, he could relate to people being slightly intimidated by you but this was another level of low.
You two were walking into town to quickly collect some supplies when a gossip started loudly stating their comments.
Muriel isn't a fan of violence but he was considering it, luckily he didn't have to do much. One glare from Muriel was enough to get them to back off.
Innana also noticed the tension in the air and joined Muriel in the art of glaring at the offender and posse, but with an added bonus if teeth and snarls.
He pulls you protectively into his side before leading you & Inanna to a secluded pond in the forest, where you both sit for a while before he breaks the silence.
He apologises that there isn't much he can do, but eventually oulls you into a hug , confesses his love & care for you, then kisses you, which causes you to tackle him to the ground to continue kissing the snuggling.
Portia
She has heard stories about how people treat Tieflings, but has never come across any problems until someone commentated on you.
You two were about to leave for port when a passenger coming off another ship commmented about Portia, that made her scoff, but when they said something about you, she was about to lose it.
She immediately called them out, demanded everyone to stay out of it. She then proceeded to switch between insulting the offender and bragging about how amazing you are.
Pepi just snuggled around you while it happened and hissed at the person when Portia let them go.
When she's done, she gives you a great bear hug and tells you that everything they said was wrong and that they didn't know what they were the scum of the earth.
She eventually leads you back to the ship's kitchen, where you & her prepare some goods and dinner to eat later on.
Lucio
He knew from battles that Tieflings were great at fighting & since he grew up in a warrior clan and made a deal with the Devil, he respected Tieflings & didn't understand why people hated your kind, but this comment just made his blood boil.
You were both at a market place, to collect money for a job you both completed, when a passerby commented on your appearance.
You swear if it wasn't for the fact that you were in a public area and this person clearly wasn't wanted, Lucio would've killed them, but decided to settle on woulding him, deeply.
Melchoir and Mercendes, comforted & tried to protect you by snarling at anyone else looking for a fight, while Camio was busy trying to claw the offender's eyes out.
When he's done, he decides to take you for a ride to a secluded hot spring he heaerd about where you both could set up nearby, while comforting you about the incident.
He thought it best that you were relaxed when he tells you how much he cares for you and that he would hunt down anyone who hurt you.
Valerius
He didn't have any problems with different species, he just hated specific people and most of his hate waas directed at the person who dared comment such rubbish about you.
You two were on a visit to a reknowned Winery when one of the other guests rudely commentated on your apearance.
He has never been more pissed in his life, but instead of losing his temper at the person, he kept his cool while he insulted and threatened to throw him in jail, calmly.
He then proceeded to make this person's visit a nightmare, when he managed to convince the other guests that the offender was some sort of criminal.
Once he was done tormnenting your bully, he comforts you, by giving you the best luxury experience at the winery and spoils you with picnics galore
He tells you that you are amazing and despite his earlier reservations about you he's grown to love you, regarless of your race, and promises to send guards fot anyone who dares to insult you again.
To anyone wanting to request anything, expect it to be delivered a bit late or until 30 November or 1 December since my exams end.

ROUND 2, MATCH 27
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Propaganda under the cut!
Baxter Ward
Propaganda
That Boy Needs Therapy
He ghosts you after the end of step 3, even if you try and date him.
look i love my boy, but baxter literally dumps you outside of your childhood home, shuts the door in your face even if you’re sobbing in the middle of the street, and then ghosts you for five years and then pretends he doesn’t care about you when you meet again. this is even if he’s aware that he’s your first love (if you chose to make him that). he literally says that you have bad taste in men if you choose to date him again before you’ve talked anything over shshhshssbb. love him but he needs a therapist waaaaayyyyy more than he needs a partner.
This man needs therapy and he needs it, like. Yesterday. He sets you for for a summer fling, repeatedly fumbled the bag because he doesn't actually want a temporary relationship but he's too insecure to keep a long term relationship so his no-strings-attached, temporary summer fling with the MC ends up being extremely romantically loaded and then he continues with his initial plan of just completely cutting the whole thing off at the end of the summer and doing so in the cruelist, nastiest way possible if you don't just have your MC accept that he's never speaking to you again (he reacts the same way no matter which option you pick. Two of those options are 'gently asking if you're breaking up' and 'saying you're ok with breaking up but want to keep in touch'). For the record, he plays off your relationship as being basically nothing and says that you two are essentially strangers because you only knew each other for three months and, when your MC brings up how your friend's brother is in a long-distance relationship, he says that it's probably not going to last and that there's nothing more to say about your own relationship. Then, after saying some more heinous shit, he closes the door on you and fucks off for five years When he comes back, you'd assume he'd at least be extremely apologetic, if not outright determined to make amends in some way. Instead, the start of your reunion has him playing hot-and-cold with your relationship, one moment insisting you're a client and nothing else and reminising about baking cupcakes at 2am with you the next. Then, I forget the specifics but I think you get this if you part with him badly and are still upset but essentially, you can try to get Baxter to talk about your relationship and that leads to him very condescendingly taking a break and then, in a scene that the game directly compares to the prior break-up scene, makes out that you're being unreasonable for being upset and wanting to talk to him after what he did to you. And then, in the most bizarre case of emotional whiplash I've ever experienced, a day passes and he's inviting you and your friends out to bowling (a thing you did together five years ago) and it's like that talk never fucking happened. What the fuck.
Kappa
Propaganda
In the first version of the game, you could only play as a boy and marry girls. They decided to add one special secret romance option as well: the Harvest Goddess, a beautiful and kind spirit who will marry you only if you can discover her secret route. Then they made a version of the game where you can play as a girl and marry the male characters. And who did they decide to add as a male secret romance option? Kappa. A green blob monster who lives in a lake. Later entries in the series tended to keep the Harvest Goddess as a secret route but added the Harvest King for a male option, but this game just said screw you, have this blob.
