#☕: main 4 — having a crush on you
Tumblr media Tumblr media
synopsis/concept: when each of the main 4 has a crush on you
warnings: none
author's note: i need wendy reqs or reqs for the girls please im desperate for a drop of inspiration 😔 also are my posts too long idk they all feel like whole ass novels
Tumblr media
kyle brovsloski
at first, kyle himself wasn't truly aware of the fact that he had a crush on you. he only realized when he found himself getting kind of disappointed whenever you talked to some of the other guys, and plotting ways to get into whatever activities or clubs you were in
but soon almost everyone knew of how head over heels he was 😭
he'd almost follow you around like a lost puppy, going along with everything you say, doing whatever you'd say or ask, and even participating in your weird or sometimes semi-hazardous ideas.
he didn't even mind when you would get sucked into the black hole that is walmart and spend hours there. the longer you wanted to shop, the longer he could stay with you
sometimes you would drag him by the hand through the aisles looking for something, and he'd pretend like he was bored, or he was unentertained. truthfully, he loved that you were even touching him, and the mildest physical affection from you makes him go feral
usually, you initiate any physical contact, but when kyle does he touches you like you're fragile. i feel like kyle's the type to playfully hit people, but he just taps you instead, whereas he'd accidentally knockout cartman or something 😭
he'd just think all day about how much you smiled or how happy you seemed sometimes,
he just enjoys to be close to you and being included in like everything you did. it's lowk obsessive, but in an endearing way i swear
Tumblr media
stan marsh
stan made it so obvious that he liked you 😭
literally everybody teased you both for it, but everybody was also lowk rooting for you two to start dating
because he would constantly be staring at you in every class and find every little excuse to talk to you or have an interaction with you. group project? he would come to you. he needs help with something? he'll come to you. you guys just worked so well together, he felt like it made sm sense
sometimes though, he'd get incredibly nauseous around you. he'd keep going to the bathroom every few minutes and you wouldn't know why. it was kind of weird, but you tried not to think too much of it.
he would always act incredibly awkward around you, and he'd get really flustered and anxious when talking to you or being around you, but you found it so cute <33 he wouldn't know what to say or how to act around you, afraid to say the wrong thing and scare you away.
he would be really sweet to you too. stan is generally really kind and polite to most other people, so you didn't think much of it at first, but you noticed something weird when it started to seem like he was trying to impress you.
he'd learn the songs you liked on his guitar and bring you to his house to play them for you. it's so endearing to him how you get so excited and shocked every single time he does it ☹️
he'd bring you little gifts and things that you like whenever he has the chance. if he happens to find a soda or a snack that you like when he's running to the bodega, he'll bring it for you the next day when he sees you.
AND stan is definitely the type to send you gym gain updates and tell you how much he benched you each day. he heard you talking about how you liked athletic and muscular guys with abs, so he makes sure to remind you almost daily about his sports abilities and stuff 💀
Tumblr media
eric cartman
just like stan, he'd try to impress you a lot, but being less obvious. he'd want to make himself appear more masculine and "tough." like, he'd be a lot more aggressive to his friends when you're near, and he would talk a lot louder. it would make him really willing to get into fights around you so that you could see how big and strong he is, too
cartman also would get REALLY jealous if other boys have your attention, and he'd do anything to grab your attention and draw it away from them. he'd pretend he needed your help with something, or act like someone was calling you for something
cartman's the type to be a little meaner to you if he likes you to convince himself you that he doesn't for some reason?? he'd try to play them off as jokes, though
he'd act like he hates you, but it's kind of clear he doesn't. when he's chewing the rest of his friends out, he often exempts you from some of his insults
"you guys are so STUPID, did you really think that was going to work? except for y/n obviously, but the rest of you are idiots."
you had a small feeling he liked you, but it was kind of unclear.
you and cartman were also really closer friends somehow, so you just considered that his bias to you might not be romantic
Tumblr media
kenny mccormick
kenny was sort of weirded-out when he realized he had a massive crush on you. he found himself fantasizing about every curve and dip in your body, and constantly thought about you.
and although you had a suspicion he liked you, you couldn't be entirely sure. kenny had the tendency to flirt with almost every girl he encountered (he's a little bit of a hoe) and he wanted himself to come off to you as confident to you
and he'd keep "jokingly" asking you to kiss or make out, hoping that eventually you'd agree and it would actually happen
but it was just the way that he got so flustered when you play along and flirt back with him even more intensely that gave him away. he'd start stuttering and blushing, trying to think of something to outdo you again
still, he'd restrict himself a little and think over his words thoroughly before he makes an effort to flirt with you, because he'd be scared he's going to scare you away or make you think he's weird.
he probably googles "how to be charismatic" or "how to make a girl like you back" just to make sure he gets it right 😭
he's literally smitten by you btw. everything you do is so attractive to him, and he talks about you to his friends almost 24/7, telling them about every single movement you made
he felt more at ease around you than most of his other friends too, so he felt safe bringing you over to his house. he knew you wouldn't make fun of him or nag him for it, unlike cartman or other people.
and when you met karen, you got along with her so well. kenny would rant about you to her and tell her all about you, and you were surprised that she knew you so well. and he loves how you always try to talk to her and be friendly to her. she's really shy, so you're one of the few people she finds herself comfortable around.
he loved when you started bringing him food or basic stuff for him and some of his family, at that point he was planning your wedding and looking for rings. he likes you because you're so considerate and kind to him, he just can't help it

Love in the Air: The Importance of Prapai Setting Boundaries
The commendable behaviour displayed by Prapai continues this week, I’m delighted to say. Last episode Prapai didn’t kiss Sky, because he said he made a promise to Rain he wouldn’t do anything whilst Sky was in his care. But this episode further proves that Prapai has intentionally set himself the objective of refraining from intimacy with Sky, until he is well and truly ready.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
So I believe Prapai’s reason for doing this are:
1. He wants to prove to Sky that he’s serious about him, and is interested in more than just sex. Therefore he has to connect with him on a personal and emotional level, and prove that the sex is secondary to that. I think Prapai is now very aware of how much their one night stand has coloured Sky’s judgement of him, and so he’s working really hard to reverse that.
2. Prapai has spent at least 3-4 nights by Sky’s bedside, and seen his nightmares. He knows something traumatic is haunting Sky, and already suspects this has something to do with a past relationship. Ever since learning this, Prapai has been very mindful about Sky’s consent before doing anything that may make Sky feel more uncomfortable.
Setting boundaries is extremely important because Prapai is trying to earn Sky’s trust, and that will only be possible if Sky feels safe with him. This is especially important in Sky’s case, because he has trauma associated with physical intimacy.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Sky is still insistent on the notion that Prapai is only interested in sex. And you can tell that Prapai is genuinely hurt to hear that, after everything he’s done. I think Sky does in fact know that Prapai’s intentions are genuine, but hasn’t allowed himself to accept that as a possibility yet. This is actually a sign of an inner conflict he’s having with himself, rather than with Prapai necessarily. Sky is still not 100% comfortable or prepared to let his guard down, rather than he truly suspects Prapai’s motives. If he continues his rebuttals of Prapai, he remains within control and at a safe distance not to be hurt.
What I also really noticed this episode is that Prapai is very intently watching (on many different levels). He’s watching over Sky, but also observing, seeing, looking at Sky. Registering. He’s seeking to understand Sky better, and searching for cues. By doing this, he’s getting increasingly attuned at reading Sky and knowing how Sky feels, which allows him to respectfully respond in the most appropriate manner. This links back to Prapai’s realisation of the damage the one night stand did, and how he’s actively making an effort to stand back and really observe. He did pick up on some warning signs that initial night, but didn’t give them much thought. He probably feels guilty about that now, and so wants to do things right this time round. He wasn’t lying when he said he wanted them to start over.
And why is Prapai watching? Because he wants to know what makes Sky happy. He’s seen Sky’s pain and his sadness, and he desperately wants to see Sky smile, and be a comfort to him when needed.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
This is key, because its a sign of true, selfless love. Love is when you wish for the person of your affections to be happy, regardless of your participation in that. Love in putting someone else’s needs and wishes before your own. For Sky, Prapai is willing to hold back, he’s willing to wait, he’s willing to play just a guardian for now. Prapai’s desires are very simple at present. Yes he ultimately wants Sky to be his boyfriend, but he’s completely content just to have Sky’s attention for the time being. To have Sky respond to him positively and not push him away. He just wants to be close to Sky, and for Sky to feel comfortable around him to let him be close.
Something else really important that Prapai has also displayed is open communication. He lays all his cards on the table. He’s honest about his motivations, his shortcomings and that he is serious about Sky. He’s honest about his recent stint of abstinence and the other dalliances he had prior to that. He’s honest about the fact that holding back is tough for him. He’s not going to lie to Sky and pretend he’s suddenly not thinking about sex or intimacy at all. He’s just trying to prove to Sky that there’s more to him than what Sky may have initially believed, and he’s trying to show Sky that sex is not what is driving him right now.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
In the episode 11 preview, it appears that Sky decides to pursue the relationship, and in doing so, his first inclination is sex. I cannot stress enough, this is extremely loaded. As we see from Prapai’s slightly panicked reaction, he actually tries to stop Sky. 
Sky is someone who desperately wants to please people. He will willingly give up himself and do whatever necessary to make someone else happy. We can suspect this is what he did for his ex, which put him in an incredibly vulnerable position to be taken advantage of. Due to that toxic relationship, Sky probably now thinks he has to exchange sex to secure and keep his partner’s attentions and affections.
Tumblr media
Prapai knows for a fact that Sky is not okay, and suspects that his trauma is connected to sexual intimacy in some way. Prapai has seen first-hand that Sky is still very much suffering from that, and therefore is understandably concerned when Sky wants to be intimate with him, as he may be doing so to just please him. And the last thing Prapai wants is for Sky to continue doing things for the sake of others without considering his own feelings.
Sky says, “I’m giving myself to you” but doesn’t seem to understand that this doesn’t have to be sexually. Both characters are moving towards a place where sex isn’t a means of trade or a transaction, its an act of love.

Okay I have a weird idea, tssm sinister six All fighting for the affection of y/n, who's there to fix their broken tech and be an in house engineer.
I AM A SUCKERRRRRRR FOR THE WHOLE WE-ALL-LIVE-TOGETHER TROPE (thanks to my creepypasta phase in middle school) SO THIS IS AMAZING THANK YOUUUU HEHEHE
||
Tumblr media
(tumblr gif makers, y'all need to make some tssm sinister 6 gifs fr)
being a resident technician/engineer for the sinister six hcs
||
Shocker/Montana would be very... open about his "little" crush on you
"Alright, sugar. I know you're gettin' tired. Why not take a rest with me?" And a wink (bro come on PLEASE)
You laugh at most of his advances because you find them silly and charming, but Montana is internally sobbing
It's very funny to listen to him get interrupted by whoever is within earshot because they all wish they had his confidence but none of them want to be like him
Sandman/Flink Marko is most frequently the one to run in and yell at him
"Hey, cowboy! Leave da girl alone!" and he'd bonk him over the head
and then he would immediately start asking if he could help
he is only polite when it comes to you
"you uhhh... want me ta hold that for ya?"
"Oh, sure. Thanks, Flint!"
sobbing cryig PLEASE HE JUST WANTS TO HOLD YOUR HAND
along with doing suit upgrades and repairs, you also work around the base repairing electronics and other unspecified repairables
very often, Rhino/Alex O'Hirn will struggle with the smaller things like microwave settings and computer keyboards and cellphones and tv remotes an
he asks for help a lot exclusively from you (he is very obvious)
he probably breaks things just to go talk to you because he doesn't know how to properly strike up a convo with this person he has such a crush on
"..........Yn? I think da remote's gooked up again..........."
"[sigh] bring it here, Alex."
Electro/Max Dillon is where things get a little funny, though
he is a being of pure electricity, he has no real 'physical form'
(eighth grade me had a fat crush on tssm electro dhmu)
but wearing the insulator suit, he's able to actually participate in day-to-day activities
like dropping hints to his oblivious electrician
I like to think they spend a bit of time together because, yk,,, electro
and through all of these, he always admires her whenever she patches up something after he accidentally shorts it out
she's never upset with him, but she's firm enough to be respected
"I'll wear the gloves next time, I'm sorry. I'd rather have you on my hands, though. ;)"
"I won't always be here to help you make food! Why depend on me??"
"wait what"
he literally is completely and totally smitten I'm sorry but this man wants nothing more than to give you a kiss
it's very difficult to, however (for obvious reasons) and so he lives in constant torment
Vulture/Adrian Toomes would quickly come in and laugh at him for blowing up the microwave
"Now, dear, don't waste your time with this dolt. I require your help."
",,,,,,let me order a replacement and I'll be right there, doctor"
I think he began to have a crush on you when he realized you actually respected him
Otto is the only one that treats him like an actual retired doctor, but now this charming young lady does too?
You make him feel so young <:) your positivity is quick to spread to this grumpy old man
You often are asked to help Doc Ock/Otto Octavius with work on his actuators
You're no nuclear scientist, but he's always happy to explain to you anything you ask him about
You have been taught things by him that have never left the walls of MIT before (knowledge is power)
"Initially, these were created for the handling of radioactive materials from a safe distance. They've proven useful for many other things as well. Like felonies."
"Though I can't condone, I understand."
He LOOOOVES how respectful and kind you are
ong mans has been starved of that for like 20 years
you remind him of his humanity
He literally will just grab you with the actuators and pull you to his lab if you aren't working
no one else says a word he is the one lawmaker in his house
they all literally know the rest of them like you too but I'm getting like sitcom vibes from this and I am obsessed with it

Hypothetically speaking (since with how deeply he's ingrained the whole "my dad can do no wrong" mentality, him leaving it is going to be damn near impossible), what would a redeemed Egghog Sonic look like? How drastically would his behavior and identity change, given he'd basically have to start from scratch with how viciously Eggman stunted him emotionally and mentally?
oh man oh man oh man when i first got this question it sparked so much inspiration i had to go downstairs and pace around for an hour
i usually am not a fan of AUs branching off of other AUs but... this was almost a thing! when i first started thinking about egghogs, i wasn't sure whether sonic would be doomed from the start or if he could somehow be strongarmed into changing. some of this comes from that era of the story where i was still figuring out how it would end... i just think it's interesting thinking about him being "redeemed". because he wouldn't start fighting for the side of good, he'd spend the rest of his life just trying to make sense of what happened to him.
one of the endings i came up with initially was him coming out of his triple-hyper form exhausted and injured. the intensity of his transformation collapsed eggman's lair around him. his brothers hustle over to help him and patch him up (despite him just trying to overwrite the universe). despite everything he's still family and they love him dearly. amy tries to walk over and help, but sonic growls at her animalistically, pupils pinning and ears flat on his head. it is a very clear nonverbal Don't Fucking Touch Me.
but she's the one with the first aid kit. so she has to kind of toss it over to the boys, and sonic seems incredibly apprehensive about accepting any help from amy, direct or indirect. he's wary of the supplies, but in his condition, he has no choice but to let his brothers patch him up with the enemy's gauze. they end up hauling him over to tails' place, and he is NOT happy about it. he says to amy directly that as soon as he gets the chance he is going to find her and kill her. shadow is like ok edgelord lets get you to the cot
i don't think sonic would start from scratch. he can't. he's been affected too deeply by his experiences. the process of him even accepting that eggman hurt him takes an agonizingly long time, and it's made worse by amy overstepping and trying to play therapist. she tells him over and over, your dad hurt you, you are traumatized, you've been abused, and he isn't in a place to hear that. it feels like accusations. it feels like she's telling him that he's wrong, his whole self, it's all wrong. it makes his anger flare up violently.
he thinks that he must have done something to deserve what eggman did, and even then, he can't accept that what eggman did was hurting him at all, let alone intended to hurt.
the bitterness of seeing his brothers thriving and happy without him feels even worse now that he's with them, experiencing what's been making them so happy. but he comes around, he starts participating in silly games and movie night and starts to sit down at dinner instead of hiding away to eat, and it's all to spend time with his bros.
they have to reintroduce him to other people slowly, like letting two cats sniff each other through a door and share meals on different sides of a grate. eating adjacent to amy or tails or knuckles or the chaotix, sitting safely between silver and shadow. playing split screen mario kart and letting tails watch. training together like old times, except they have to take turns with other members of the resistance. it breaks down sonic's tough shell little by little.
once sonic starts being (very cautiously) neutral instead of actively hostile, people start feeling more comfortable doing nice things for him. sending him memes, getting him surprise clown-related trinkets they know he'd love, maybe even getting him some new funky clothes because they thought of him. he doesn't know how to feel about this, doesn't know how to accept gestures like this, but shadow and silver have been through the same learning curve and help him through it. the strange feeling of belonging starts to grow stronger.
he starts to get more comfortable. he wasn't getting new hurts, but something was still making him ache.
i don't know what would do this, what would finally crack through that thick wall of self-protection and brainwashing, but there's a very sudden and abrupt realization that eggman hurt him. eggman was making him hurt. the thought of him made him upset. i imagine he would just cry. he would feel the weakest he's ever felt in his whole life, the most broken, the most small. maybe it's finally experiencing safety that makes him realize just how unsafe he was.
i truly don't think he'd be all gung-ho about being good. he'd just... i don't know. waste away in his room and feel Bad for a bunch of years. self-isolate to hell and back to avoid pain and thus cause his extroverted heart even more pain. then, i dunno, he'd run around and try to keep himself entertained, meet new people. but he wouldn't work to fix his mistakes like shadow and silver would; i don't think he'd ever take full responsibility for his actions. but he'd avoid being a fucked up little evil guy as to not hurt more people. and he would try his best not to think about his little "evil phase", put it out of mind. he's sonic. he suppresses, and he keeps barreling forward.
i think the best anyone could hope for is him just running around and seeing the world and going to carnivals and jumping out of planes and eating a bunch of food. not doing good, not saving people. just thrill seeking and self fulfillment without the violence or industrial expansion. he'd never fully emotionally mature, but he'd at least be happy and mostly harmless.
too bad that's not how he actually turns out.

♡ —  ⁱⁿᵗʳᵒˢᵖᵉᶜᵗⁱᵛᵉ   . . .   PHYSICAL
Tumblr media
someone asked me, what was wrong with mello and while i have no energy to become his therapist right now. i'm gonna tell you what's physical wrong with him. originally i made this into separate posts but we're not gonna do that anymore.
BODY
the initial explosion gave him fourth degree burns; it burned away most of his nerve endings which was the backing force to why he didn't feel anything. completely conscious through all of it - the likely hood of him going into shock was high was thankfully it didn't happen. the skin that was burned couldn't possibly create new tissue to properly heal which caused the skin to constrict around the area around his eye and down to his hip as the efforts to heal.
the main issue is a ruptured eardrum from the explosion. the only pain that he truly felt was from there - hearing loss for a few months after as his ear healed itself. though the hearing in his right ear is lower than the left. on occasion with ringing but he's learned to live with that.
the sensation in his hand that was damaged was lost, leaving him with a numbness behind. his dominant hand being right made it almost impossible to do such activities with said hand. even with the nerve endings having healed to the best of their ability - he still favors his left hand for misc tasks.
sleeping is difficult for him because of his lingering nerve pain. certain textures are incredibly uncomfortable and if he is not exhausted enough just the feeling of laying down against something on his right side is just as uncomfortable.
his right is blurry at best and tends to water a lot - the retina being more sensitive to light has adapted him to either avoid extremely bright days / lights or wear glasses anytime he's forced to participate during those times.
muscle weakness in the affected areas is also apart of life I'm gonna assume. he leans forward when he sits since holding proper posture for to long is either impossible or uncomfortable. he just prefers not to do it. even a few years later his right hand is weaker than his left, tingling and increased sensitivity. a reason he wears gloves a lot is to help combat this. and wearing one glove is stupid.
HANDS
FINGERTIPS — the ones on his right hand sometimes get a burning sensation when touched too frequently. yet they're the softest parts of his hands regardless, he opts to grab hands with the tips of his fingers before completing grabbing said hand.
PALMS — the skin just barely touching the palm on his hands is scarred a small bit. not much to say about his palms to much but that they're sensitive and if you were to apply to much pressure onto his right one he'd feel pain. the nerves in his hands are still damaged from his happy bomb days.
BACK OF HANDS — they're rougher then his palms which are calloused. scarred on both. nothing to crazy to say about them, because of the scar there he doesn't like most things touching the backs of his hands. you can touch it just fine but he does grow uncomfortable with too much touching.
OTHER THOUGHTS: he isn't huge on holding hands for long regardless of who you are. he uses his fingers more then his entire hand whenever he does decide to hold it. his fingers are calloused and rough but yeah. thats pretty much all i have to say about him and his hands. the gloves he wears by the way are not leather because that wouldn't sense to me. they're fabric. handcanon HAYAYQYQYQUQ7WHWJW get it? because hands. headcanon? yeah

Hello Faff, I hope you're having a great day!
I don't know if you have answered this before (my memory really isn't the greatest) but what did Fawfuls childhood look like?
I just wanted to type something about his parents when I remembered that you once mentioned that he was an orphan! Why? Did his parents die? And how was his time at the orphanage? Did someone take him in eventually?
I thought this was a nice thing to ask, since people all seem to have very different takes on his childhood!
Thank you!! Sorry I just got around to answering this now!
I personally prefer not to entirely flesh out his childhood since I think an air of mystery adds to his character imho. But I can tell you what I do have!
It's unknown what happened to his parents. We don't know if they're gone or if they abandoned him, etc. Just that he never knew them or anything about them. Fawful, being who he is, never really cared to look much into it. He has always been very self-focused.
He did not speak for the first 5-6 years of his life so it was assumed by the adults around him that he was mute. At some point he sustained a head injury and woke up the next day speaking, albeit strangely. This obviously shocked everyone in the orphanage at the time but it quickly became the norm for Fawful and most were just happy the injury didn't cause any worse damage.
He wasn't interested in playing with the other kids and spent most of his spare time with his face buried in the many stacks of books on just about every topic he could find in the Beanbean library.
Was initially teased and bullied for both his teeth and strange demeanor (which would cause him angry outbursts in the beginning) but the bullies would eventually leave him alone since he quickly grew a thick skin and no longer seemed to be as affected by their antics as some of the other children were. Having developed a superiority complex early on, it's just not very fun to bully someone who simply stands there and stares you down like the idiots you are, lmao.
Once old enough to leave the orphanage, he would become a star student at Woohoo Hooniversity where his inventions impressed everyone around him. He participated in theatre as his main extracurricular activity and his talent shown there as well. Despite this, he did not have any friends as just about everything about Fawful repelled good company. This was fine with him since he didn't much care anyway.
Upon graduation, it is unknown what became of him. Fawful's life of isolation and lack of friends or family meant he had nobody truly wondering what had become of him and subsequently nobody to really pursue the question of where he had gone off to.
And the years would pass by... until...

lovers.
Tumblr media
poly nomin, mostly fluff.
m.list.
You met jaemin first, fell for him first and dated him first.
He was great, the best.. except for minor things. 
Minor things that grow over time, and were the cause of too many arguments.
You were the clingy type.. you needed more time spent together, more affection.
He was the opposite.
He needed more time spent alone, to not be bothered.
You liked to communicate, he did not. 
You wanted to go out, he wanted to stay home and do nothing.
Your differences were pulling you further apart. thing were getting dangerously rocky.
That’s when you started to notice his best friend, Jeno.
**
Who was single at the time.
You started to notice how affectionate and touchy he is.
He’s active and likes to try new things.
He’s cling and was getting shot down by jaemin, just like you.
Your growing crush on jeno didn’t go unnoticed.
jaemin did notice.
**
One day he suggest that maybe jeno should take you to the movies instead.
He arranged for you two to meet.
After jeno dropped you off, you entered the apartment with a bright smile.
A smile jaemin hasn't seen in a while.
That night was the night jaemin brought up the idea that maybe jeno could join this relationship, he reasoned that it is for your happiness’s sake.
He knew he couldn’t make you happy all by himself, and he thought he wouldn't mind jeno being around you too. 
You were baffled, and hurt.. very hurt.
You thought this was his way to break up with you.
But actually it was his way to keep you.
**
After the initial shock, you agreed to try it.
Jeno did too.
And with jaemin’s terms you and jeno went out a couple more times.
Eventually he moved in with you guys.
One of jaemin’s terms was that you sleep in his bed only, and for jeno to have his own room.
The first morning was hella awkward though. 
The awkwardness was short lived.
**
One day you walked in on jaemin crying.
Your heart broke, he was struggling with all the jealousy and fear of loosing you.
He felt less the good enough for you.
You reassured him, a lot. Not that you mind.
**
Other then that the relationship was going so good, all three parties were happy.
Jeno liked to give, you liked to receive and give, jaemin liked to take.. perfect.
Jaemin liked coffee but not sweet things, you like off and sweet things, jeno liked sweet things.. coffee dates were perfect too.
You were getting more and more comfortable around jeno.
Jaemin did too.
**
The first time he participated in the bedroom was only to watch.
After everyone was comfortable enough and sure thing proceeded.
Now he’s allowed on the bed, he’s allowed to touch you here and there.
Honestly you would fuck him in a heartbeat, you were all taking it slow for jaemin’s sake. 
As he is your priority.
Awhile later, jaemin got more comfortable to watch you and jeno kiss.
You were getting all the love and attention you needed and more.
There were days when you would orgasm 7-8, with 70% of them were caused be jeno’s young and fingers.
A it was one of jaemin’s rules to not have sexual activities further than oral.
It took jaemin weeks until he was ok with you going all the way with jeno.
Oh the first threesom ever, you were a nervous reck.
**
Who would have thought, you would have 2 boyfriends.
Double the amount of sweatshirts to steal too.
Speaking of sweatshirts, one day jeno came looking for his grey one.
You didn’t have it, in fact you are sure you’ve returned it to his room.
An argument almost broke because he wan’t believing you, until jaemin walked in wearing said sweatshirt.
The adorable blush that crept to his cute little cheeks when he was caught.
He claimed he only took jeno’s sweatshirt because he had no clean clothes left
That was a lie, you would know because you did the laundry 3 days ago.
**
After that incident, things were more noticeable to you.
The longing look in jaemin’s eyes.
The way he looks at jeno first whenever something funny happens, just to see him smile.
The way jeno’s presences was enough to kill jaemin’s anxiety.
The subtle ways they took care of each other.
The way they would loose themselves in their own world.
It seemed like they were unawarely in love. 
You took the rule of Cupid, and tried to bring them to discover their feelings.
And it worked.
One day you woke up form your mid day nap and dragged your feet.
You turn the corner and witnessed the first kiss between them.
Everything fell into place.
It felt like it was a sweet circle of lovers.

hi! if this is ok could i request something similar to the thing about mammon being mc’s first choice but with leviathan? like how would they react if mc always spends time with him and he’s generally just always their first choice? love ur writing btw❤️
Thank you, Anon!
Leviathan is Mc's first choice
Lucifer:
Lucifer is glad you are so important to his brothers. Truly he is. He thinks it’s great that you can give Levi the confidence boost he so dearly needed. Still though, his pride is hurt. Lucifer wants his family to be happy more than almost anything else so he’ll get over his hurt pride for his brother’s sake. Give him time though, it is not easy to overcome his sin. You seem to truly like Leviathan for who he is, always standing up for him and putting an end to his self-deprecation. Lucifer experiences a different kind of pride as he watches you encourage Levi to value himself. “Mc! I thought we talked about not running in the halls.” “Sorry Lucifer!” you waved a DVD case “I got this new anime and there’s no way Levi has it yet so-” You’re bouncing excitedly, clearly eager to bolt to Levi’s room. “Thank you Mc,” he says sincerely, grateful that you care so deeply for Leviathan. “Hmm? For what?” “That will be all, Mc” Lucifer waves you off. You shrug and continue to Levi’s room.
Mammon:
Really, you’re going to choose Levi over him? Does being your first mean nothing? Mammon acts really arrogant about it. The fact that you chose Levi as your main man is a hit to his pride. Everyone knows Mammon has poorly hidden feelings for you but despite these feelings, Mammon is happy for his little brother. He can be content being a friend, even if he does come in second. Although Mammon will still try to rope you into his schemes in an attempt to steal some of your attention from Levi. Mammon hasn’t seen Levi this happy in years and it’s nice to see Levi actively participating in the real world as well as in the 2D world.
Levi:
Um, what? Mc, he doesn’t understand. At all. Why would you choose him? It’s pretty clear that all of his brothers love you, so why would you choose him when you could have any of them? Levi is so awkward at first. Stuttering and blushing at the smallest praise or physical contact from you. Despite his initial reactions, he is so happy to be your favorite. Having you run to him for help or affection or anything else gives him a warm fuzzy feeling inside that rivals the feeling he gets when he gets even the rarest Ruri chan merchandise. He loves you so much. But it’s a strange feeling knowing his brothers envy him for a change. Levi likes to show you off because of this, just a little bit. But he also likes to pull you away from his brothers and spend some time alone with you. Especially if you are in an affectionate mood. It’s just too much for him to handle sometimes and despite still being a blushing mess in his room he is more able to accept your attention when there is no one to judge him.
Satan:
For Satan, the fact that Levi is your favorite is a two-sided coin. On one hand, he did- does like you. He can’t deny that he wants your attention, something about you just makes him feel… But on the other hand, Satan can clearly see that your interests match up with Levi’s far more than his. So it makes complete sense that he would be your favorite. Besides, seeing Levi’s face when you run straight for him is both heartwarming and hilarious. Levi’s face does this half-frightened he won't catch you, half in love expression when you launch yourself into his arms and Satan finds that expression priceless. He truly is happy for Levi even though he is jealous at times.
Asmo:
Levi? “But Mc, I’m clearly the obvious choice. I mean look at me!” As Asmo watches you beeline to Levi when you’ve got news or when you need protection, he feels like maybe it’s ok that you didn’t choose him. But when you would rather spend time watching anime or gaming with Levi than go shopping or clubbing with him Asmo is legitimately confused. “Mc, you’re too beautiful to be sitting in a dark room where no one can see you, wouldn’t you rather let me show you off?” It’s not that Asmo doesn’t value Levi or isn’t happy for him, it’s just that he doesn’t understand the appeal of Levi’s interests. Besides, Asmo can get very jealous when he sees how genuine your feelings for Levi are. He wants that too!
Beel:
Beel is so happy for Levi. It is so cute to see you duck behind Levi when you're scared or curl up on his lap during movie nights. Beel is the one to go to if you ever need advice for anything concerning Levi. He’s got his jealousy completely under control (for the most part) because honestly, he finds your relationship with Levi completely adorable. Beel definitely quietly ships the two of you. I can see Beel as someone who is happy to be able to spend any time with you at all. Even though the others might complain about Levi being your first choice, Beel knows that doesn’t mean you don’t value being friends with him. It’s just that your feelings and comfort level with Levi are different.
Belphie:
Anger, then acceptance. Belphie is angry at first because Levi has also put you in danger when he lost control of his anger. So why couldn’t you forgive him and choose him? Why Levi? Mostly he is angry at himself because you not choosing him makes sense to him. As he works through this feeling Belphie is prone to avoiding situations where he can see how clearly Levi is your first choice. Belphie outwardly comes to terms with the situation fairly quickly, it might take a few extra days for him to truly accept it. He really does care for you and for Levi. He is happy for his brother, especially once he sees how happy Levi is. It’s good to see Levi invested in the well-being of something that isn’t 2D. And seeing you happily skip to Levi’s room to share some tidbit of good news or proudly show off a RAD report card makes him smile in spite of himself.

The Toxicity of Royal Simblr
alright guys. I was kind of hoping I wouldn’t have to make a post about this or that it would just go away. But, I’m seeing now that this is not the case. As the owner of the Royal Discord Community, I along with others in the community feel like this behind the scenes toxic behavior needs to be addressed because it’s been going on for a while now and a lot of people have been affected.
Please note that the intention is to bring attention to some of the toxic behaviors shown here so those involved will not continue further. We’ve blocked names of some people in the following screenshots to remove their identity as this is not about he said/she said stuff. It’s about bringing light to something that’s been affecting all of us.
This is a long post so be prepared to do some reading if you continue on. The following screenshots were provided to me because I took over the Royal Discord once the previous admins no longer wanted it. The rest is under the cut.
*Before you read on, I’m happy to let you know that a resolution has come since this initial post. Please read this post. Thank you!*
A lot of these messages are disheartening because myself, the other admins/mods, and the community as a whole has worked hard to bring the community back from a place where people honestly felt too scared to join because messages like these were playing in the background and this sentiment seeps into every part of Royal Simblr unfortunately. Due to how things were run previously on top of this toxic underbelly it’s made people hesistant to join in.
There is one thing I’d like to address first as it was directed at myself and I want to own up to anything I have done in this. When I first joined Royal Simblr, I participated in a Royal Sim Pageant. In one of the rounds, derogatory and racist remarks against Asians were made without the participants knowing. I truly regret to have been apart of it. When it was brought to my attention, I worked to correct the damage done with the owners of the pageant. I’m not perfect and don’t claim to be, but I’m always working to be better especially when it comes to correctly representing other cultures as it’s something I take very seriously.
To preface these messages, there are two things to know. There are two seperate servers. Server A) The server I’ve been admin of for a little over a month after the last admin transferred it to me. Server B) A smaller server that was created before Server A and made up a lot of the folks who also created and ran the Server A initially. The other thing is most of these people are not in Server A and haven’t been in over a month.
The conversation you see here started with a member of the community being accused of copying storylines. This person being accused is in Server A and this conversation took place in Server B on July 15, 2021.
Tumblr media
The person speaking is saying they left Server A because a person is accused of copying storylines. For some reason, the whole community is then somehow involved in this as the conversation shifts. The person accused of copying happened to be a moderator in Server A which is mentioned. 
From what I’ve seen from this server, this is fairly common behaviour and multiple people have been bullied, accused of copying, etc. many stemming from this server.
Tumblr media
In this shot, Server A is put into question. Many stating they left because they don’t want to pretend to be positive or show interest in other stories as if they are being forced to. As you can see one person states that this is not the case of the server since I’ve been admin and don’t encourage people to show fake positivity.
However, this person is actually in Server A which I’m guessing is why they decided to sort of defend it. But, then they agree that those running Server A are questionable (ie myself and the other admins/mods).
Tumblr media
More of the same, but speaking about the previous ownership of the server when referring to being asked to step down. Also more just toxic talk about the entire Royal simblr community for no reason. This comes from those who have “built the community” and “do so much for it.” But behind closed doors this is what is done.
Tumblr media
In this shot, those in Server A are accused of not “making an effort to be anyone’s friend” with those who rarely interact, being nice to each other for clout, and just overall being fake. Although, keep in mind, one of these people (”I stay for the drama”) is in Server A and never expressed any of this to me or other admins. Yet talking trash about us in Server B. Note: the pageant is also brought up here which I’ve addressed above and I believe I was the only admin or moderator apart of the pageant. 
Tumblr media
Here they make fun of people speaking about their stories and other people encouraging them. Also, just want to point out if anyone ever feels unwelcomed in the server, please reach out to me of the other admins. It’s our goal to make everyone welcome, but we can’t do that if we don’t know. Also, being a jerk to people in another server for no reason isn't really a good way to make friends.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Some general nonsense about the server and those in the server. Again most of these people haven’t been in the server since I took over so sentiments about the status of the server are all from a month ago when those in Server B were in charge of Server A. The “felt like a corporation” and “crickets” is all things we’ve been working to reverse since we’ve taken it over.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
In these shots, it’s talked about how so many people are stuck in their Royal stories and don’t plan methodically and decorate and how they take bad screenshots. Basically making fun of everyone else because they aren’t doing things exactly as they are or think they should be done. The community they “built” mind you. Then, they talk about some plan to rejoin Server A and bait people, but not wanting to get caught up so deciding against it.
This gives you a gist of what is happening in the Royal Simblr community. Some of the most beloved and talented among us are spending their time poking fun at everyone else, bullying, and being toxic in a server that is “not exclusive.” Many of my friends have been apart of this and even got swept into the toxicity which shows you the nature of this group. It’s very exclusive and meant to bully and mock others even going as far as making people want leave the community alrogether.
This is not me trying to bash anyone or continue bullying or single out these people specifically as bad people. There are a lot more screenshots that I did not share of just really mean stuff, but we’ve all done messed up stuff. I won't say who said what or even who had this particular conversation because at this point it doesn't matter, but I will address those who are in the server and actively participate in toxic conversations including @royaldevilliers @thesimsroyalfam @wa-royal-tea @royalfamilyofgrimalldi and @markinghamroyals​
We all have a vision for the community and we’ve been working towards that and this is NOT it. It’s not about who’s best or being being better than everyone else. It’s supposed to be about community, sharing stories, and overall just having a good time with a fun HOBBY. Others are just taking it too far and too seriously. Things like this ruin it for EVERYONE. 
When I took over Server A, no one interacted, people were nervous to join, and it was a place where people didn’t feel welcomed. Now, we just had a random 6 hour server stream yesterday, people are helping people daily and sharing their stories again. This is what we want for the community. But with behavior like this, we will NEVER get there.
To those who are doing this, please look at these nasty messages and see how this does so much harm. The toxic energy you bring does not stop just because it’s in your little bubble. 
This is who you want to be known as?
This is how you want to “build a community?” 
None of us are perfect and we don’t expect you to be either, but this is just mean especially to folks who haven’t done anything to you and even look up to you.
To those who’ve been affected by this, I’m really sorry. We have to do better if we want this community to continue and be a good place for us all.

Can I request headcanons for a poly relationship with Brahms and Vincent Sinclair?
Oh my gODDDDD ANON UR MIND!!! Legit I went OFF with this headcanon post and honesty I’m obsessed with this pairing now. I might even write a smutty one shot regarding this but like fuckkkkkk I hope y’all enjoy this cause i had SO MUCH FUN writing it!
Brahms/Vincent/Reader Poly:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Since Brahms and Vincent are two killers that are based in a specific location and would probably never leave their homes, here are a few specific headcanons for each killer in the other’s home.
Vincent in the Heelshire Manor wouldn't affect him too greatly, other than the nagging feeling of being homesick. Though if he has you by his side, it makes the ache less harsh. For the most part as long as Vincent has a room he can call his workshop he really won't mind. And because the Heelshire mansion is so huge there would be more than enough room for such. 
Brahms would be very against having Vincent in the walls, feeling threatened by his presence, but once he is more used to the three of you being together he might not mind it as much. Actually, Vincent enjoys Brahms' space. He finds the room quite relaxing, though a bit too cramped for his liking. 
Ultimately, both are fine as long as they are given their privacy to work and relax on their own time. 
Brahms in Ambrose would cause the most upheaval. He would glue himself to your side, following you wherever you went as you were the only comfort he had in this strange place. Brahms isn't used to not only being out of the walls but essentially having a whole town to himself to explore. It would be a lot at first, but with yours and Vincent's gentle urging, Brahms would slowly embrace this new change.
He would love the tunnels under Ambrose, allowing him to move to different places in town without needing to walk down the street just in case there were visitors in town. He prefers to slip in and out of places largely unnoticed so less attention is brought to him.
While he does not actively participate in the slaying of visitors in Ambrose for the wax collection, he has been known to attack anyone he deems a threat to you or the Sinclairs. This is his home now and anything that is a threat to that home must be dealt with accordingly (and brutally). Vincent often complains that Brahms ruins the bodies, but understands that Brahms can't control himself when he reaches that point. 
Speaking of the other Sinclair brothers, Bo unsurprisingly hates Brahms. When Brahms first arrived, he was very shy and nervous around Bo, actively afraid of the loud and easily angered brother. Once he realized that Bo was no threat to him, he actively enjoyed "playing" with him. Bo hates it when he uses his childlike voice, but Brahms continues to do it anyways to put Bo on edge. Brahms might also use his stealthy abilities to purposefully scare Bo, appearing out of nowhere and giving him a heart attack and running off before Bo can retaliate. Bo would never admit it openly but Brahms intimidates him simply from his stature and the inability to read him.
Lester was intimidated by Brahms when he first arrived, the man much taller and more muscular than he was. But when Brahms learned about the road kill Lester collects and disposes of, he simply asked if he could take care of the rats as well. Lester did, and the two have no issues with each other, though Lester still feels a slight unease when around the other man. 
Now, for the personality dynamics of the boys.
Brahms and Vincent get along much better than one might initially suspect. The two are utterly territorial men, often with you in the middle of their affections, however they eventually grow to understand each other and how it would be easier to protect you if they were both there. You’re the common denominator that keeps them from fighting each other, and the fact that you dispense love equally between them is an important factor. 
The two will eventually grow to respect each other as well, with Brahms eventually being comforted by Vincent's company if you are unavailable. He will often sit quietly with Jonesy as he watches Vincent work on his sculptures, very rarely interrupting him. Vincent isn't bothered by this presence, and is often comforted if either you, Brahms, or the both of you are in the room with him doing whatever as he sculpts. 
Vincent grows fond of Brahms, feeling protective of him when he becomes distressed and overwhelmed. Growing up with Bo, he has learned how to help diffuse highly volatile situations. Even if he can't speak very well, his gentle reassurances help while he deescalates Brahms’ tantrums. A plus for you, really. 
As the two of them both wear masks to hide their faces, they might reveal themselves sooner rather than later simply because they're in the presence of another person that truly understands what their going through, as well as someone who loves them unconditionally (you, of course). Expect them to take of their masks one night while the three of you are together, the two of them slowly revealing themselves to each other and you. Brahms’ burn scars, and Vincent's scars each on one side of their face, cause them to be moved when they first see each other. They'll have their masks off around you more often after that. 
Now,,, the somft dating headcanons,,, 
Brahms and Vincent are both touch starved individuals so just expect to be giving lots of love to these boys. Just you cuddling with them makes them melt, and if they see you giving attention to one you know the other will grow jealous until you give them some love as well. Brahms is much more clingy than Vincent however, and you'll have to be a bit more firm with him about your space even if he ignores it most of the time. Vincent is a lot more shy so when you give him hugs and kisses he is more likely to freeze up instead of latch onto you like Brahms the Leech Boy would. 
Both spoil you as much as humanly possible, mostly with love and physical affection though they have their own little ways of treating you. Vincent makes you small wax sculptures all the time, enjoying the smile on your face as you look the figure over with adoration. Brahms gets a bit annoyed over this, as he doesn't have much of an artistic hand. But Vincent is happy to give him some wax and either let him mess around with it or teach him some techniques to properly use it. Brahms is so proud once he is able to make you something small, probably a bowl, and he absolutely melts when you squeal in delight at his thoughtful gift. Vincent can't help but feel happy himself too. 
Lots of snuggle piles with the three of you, often with you in the middle. While they don't tend to have a favorite position as long as they get to hold you, they do have a few regular positions. When you read out loud to them, Vincent tends to sit behind you, your back up against his chest, as Brahms is tangled amongst both of your legs as he rests his head on your lap, his arms draped around your middle. Vincent holds the book open for you so both of your hands are free to pet and play with Brahms’ hair, which he thoroughly enjoys. Sometimes Vincent and Brahms will swap places, or one of them will rest their head against your chest as you act as the big spoon. Also expect many blankets and pillows to further complete your nest as well. 
Luckily for Bo, Brahms’ need for structure in the form of the daily chore list will keep you busy cleaning up the living space and making enough food to feed all the men you were caring for now. If Bo has been particularly good, Brahms might tag along with you to the gas station to deliver him lunch after you bring Vincent his. Vincent is usually busy with his art so you give him a kiss on top of his head and leave his food on his work bench, knowing he will get to it once he is hungry. Bo won't dare to lash out too much when he is being fed, especially not when Brahms stands behind you like an imposing bodyguard whenever Bo is nearby. 
Date nights with the two of them are rather unconventional. Most of the time whenever the three of you are together it is considered a date whether or not it is super romantic. Just coexisting in the same space is often enough for the three of you. Vincent is happy enough to show you and Brahms around Ambrose, obviously knowing the best places to relax and get away from the stress the town can bring. He knows exactly where you can see the best sunrises and sunsets too. And Brahms is more than happy to tag along, though if he was in his manor than he would probably have a hard time leaving even with the two of you by his side. 
Expect lots of quiet nights reading, softly talking amongst yourselves, watching old vhs tapes found around town on the small TV, and listening to music. Sometimes Jonesy will keep you all company and get lots of snuggles and belly rubs as well. 
Now onto the headcanons you filthy animals were waiting for. You know. The naughty stuff ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Being the needy man he is, Brahms is probably the first to initiate sexual touching. He is certainly not shy about his desire for you, not even being embarrassed about growing hard around you. Vincent, on the other hand, is too ashamed to initiate contact in the beginning, even if he feels the same way. Most likely he will let Brahms take the lead with you first, enjoying the act of watching you both. You can't get enough of the sight of Vincent sitting in his chair, hand squeezed tightly around his member as he edges himself while watching Brahms grab and explore your body. And with Brahms’ jealous streak he doesn't mind having you first either. 
Slowly, Vincent will find his way into bed with the two of you, probably at your urging. If Brahms is feeling particularly generous, he might be the one to say something. "They’re so soft Vinny, you have to touch them." With some gentle persuasion, Vincent will touch you the way Brahms touches you, making your toes curl and your breath hitch. Brahms watches eagerly, touching you as well and grabbing your hand and holding it over his cock as you pump him until his seed spills over you.
Vincent isn't shy about body worship once he realizes how much you want him. He will kiss and caress every inch of you, pulling out all sorts of noises that you never thought were possible. Brahms looks on in awe, his mouth often following behind Vincent's as he mimics the actions, much to your delight. 
Brahms has a hard time holding himself back around you while Vincent can take an entire night with you, so together they tend to even out. They'll go until you're too exhausted, but usually Brahms will finish first, leaving Vincent all the time in the world with you. That is, until Brahms’ gets hard again and finds his way back into the fray. 
They are both comfortable being switches, not minding if they are on top but if you want to top they will gladly let you spoil them. They both love being ridden, holding you in their arms as you bounce on their cock, until you leave them a shaking mess beneath you. They also enjoy receiving oral from you, and you tend to include both of them in the activity. Sometimes you will jerk the two of them off with your hands, give oral to one and use your hand on the other, or on at least one occasion, have attempted to at the very least lick both of them at the same time. 
As the three of you grow more open and experienced with each other's bodies, you can expect to try taking them both on at least a few occasions. Sometimes one of them will be performing oral or fucking you as you take the other in your mouth. If you happen to be AFAB, expect double penetration to be attempted at least once, though Brahms is a bit too impatient to go through the whole ordeal so it isn't an activity you often engage in. 
Now, Brahms and Vincent both grew up in very strict and sheltered homes, so the thought of being naked in the same room as another man, or sharing the same person with another man in the same bed might cause them trepidation in the beginning of your sexual relationship. Eventually, however, they grow to love each other as much as they love you, though they might show it to each other in a different way. While they might not initiate sex with each other if you aren't around, they will slowly begin to experiment with you in the bedroom. Touching you turns into touching each other as well, and they find that while each other's touch is much different than yours, they enjoy this new feeling. 
In fact, they might have been known to, on occasion, jerk each other off if their needs grow too intense and you aren’t around to provide for them. When you caught them, they were facing each other, pumping each other’s member as Brahms buried his face into Vincent's shoulder. Initially they were wildly embarrassed and thought you would be mad, but you assured them you weren't, your words of encouragement helping them finish. 
Time for kinks!
They both share voyeurism kink, and while Brahms can be a bit annoyed and bratty if he has to sit on the sidelines, both are content to watch the other have their way with you, getting off on just watching. Hell, both of them spy on you on the regular, watching you get dressed or shower before you either notice them in the doorway or they allow themselves in. 
If Vincent is able to get a hold of a camera you know he will be taking pictures of you constantly, with or without you knowing. While it partially adds to his voyeur kink, he enjoys being able to take artistic nudes of you, as well as less artistic ones where you are simply being wrecked by one or the both of them. 
Wax play is a big kink of Vincent's as he enjoys watching your expression as he tips the candle over your skin and watches how the hot wax makes you jolt for a moment before it begins to solidify on your skin. Brahms, however, is not a fan, simply because he finds it tedious as well as being unable to enjoy it himself. Putting hot wax on a hairy man is not a fun time. 
They both enjoy bondage, though Brahms doesn't really know how to properly execute it until meeting Vincent. All three of you have been tied up at one point or another, allowing the other two access to their body. Vincent enjoys the more eloquent knots and ties, creating intricate designs on both you and Brahms. Brahms is a good candidate for being tied up as he gets worked up so easily and this is one of the few ways to help him take his time. The ties that you and Brahms execute on Vincent aren't as beautiful but they do the trick, and he often has a hard time edging himself with the two of you giving him attention. 
Any kinks that you have are eagerly accepted by Vincent and Brahms, as they are always happy to bend over backwards to satiate your needs. Even if it is a little embarrassing, they're willing to try anything at least once with you. 
Ultimately, the open communication and understanding between the three of you help immensely when it comes to taking care of each other's needs. You would all drop everything to satisfy your partners, and they would do the same for you.

I've just started my re-read of Fire & Blood and would love to hear your thoughts on the contents of Deria's letter to Aegon the Conqueror. What do you think Nymor's terms were that made Aegon's hands bleed and give him cause to fly to Dragonstone? A father's plea, a list of dead lords, and an assassination threat from the Faceless Men don't make much sense. I'm wondering if it has something to do with Rhaenys' death/body, but I'm confused on the 3 year gap of her supposed death. Thanks!
To be clear, Aegon's hand bled because he was gripping the still-sharp blades of the Iron Throne: per Yandel, "Aegon read it [i.e. the letter] upon the Iron Throne, and men say that when he rose, his hand was bleeding, so hard had he clenched it".
Anyway, it's clear that by gripping the Iron Throne so hard (despite having every reason to know, as its creator, that the Iron Throne was made of real swords that could and would cut him) as he read the letter Aegon was deeply emotionally affected by whatever the letter said. One of the very few people Aegon seemed to deeply care for was his sister-wife Rhaenys - the woman he had daringly, even shockingly wed for desire even as he married Visenya for duty, the woman he spent 10 times the amount of nights with compared to Visenya, the mother of his heir. Indeed, not only did Aegon command (and actively participate in) two years of unmitigated, horrific destruction to Dorne in the wake of Rhaenys' death, but he was also reluctant to grant Dorne peace without submission because, among other reasons, that "would be tantamount to saying that his beloved sister Rhaenys had died in vain". Whatever was in that letter was, I think, something that was hitting Aegon squarely in the feelings.
So I tend to think that one of Yandel's suggestions - that "Nymor reveal[ed] that Rhaenys lived still, broken and mutilated, and that he would end her suffering if Aegon ended hostilities" - is the correct one. It fits with the accounts recorded by both Yandel and Gyldayn, that "claim the queen survived her dragon's fall, only to die a slow death by torment in the dungeons of the Ullers". It fits with Aegon's emotional reaction - not only gripping the Iron Throne, but thereafter going to Dragonstone, "the isle that smelled of sulfur and brimstone and the salt sea ... [that] he loved the best", wanting to go to a place where he had been happy (and, of course, happy with Rhaenys, where they had both grown up and wed). It fits with Aegon's initial reluctance to grant peace without submission, only for him to agree to an "eternal peace" with Dorne almost immediately after reading the letter: to continue the war would be to exacerbate and prolong the torture of his beloved sister-wife, a fate worse than her "d[ying] in vain". It fits with one of GRRM's favorite themes, duty versus love: Aegon clearly felt that he owed it to his vassals to continue the war - Gyldayn notes that "Aegon knew the Reach, the stormlands, and the marches had suffered grievously during the fighting, and would neither forgive nor forget" - and yet he decided to, as Aegon believed, majorly piss off all of these vassals, because his personal love for Rhaenys outweighed his larger sense of duty to the realm.
Unfortunately, or not, this is one of those moments that GRRM clearly intended to be an open-ended mystery. Far from resolving the issue in F&B (which he used to clarify or fill in other unclear or missing details from TWOIAF), the author only added even more possibilities regarding the letter, with only some overlap between that book and TWOIAF; indeed, he even had Gyldayn remark that "no man will truly ever know" the answer. I also don't really see this becoming a plot point or otherwise referenced in the main novels (or D&E, for that matter); even if we're to suppose that, say, the knowledge of the letter's contents was passed on through the Martell generations (since it certainly doesn't seem to have been by Aegon to his descendants), what would be the point of, say, Arianne bringing it up - just to remind the very individual she is looking to marry and become his queen that there was old bad blood three centuries ago between her ancestors and his (and they are still his ancestors even if he is a Blackfyre descendant)? In that sense, I feel like whatever you think is the answer to the mystery of the Dornish Letter is the answer, for you; this is a space for headcanon, where any individual reader gets to fill in the blanks on their own.

Naruto: 10 Worst Things About Sasuke And Sakura's Relationship
By the time of Boruto, Sasuke and Sakura are a loving married couple, but their checkered history included some troubling low points.
BY HANNAH GRIMES
Sakura harbors a crush on Sasuke before the two of them even graduate from the Academy and end up on the same team. He's always at the forefront of her thoughts and actions, and the two of them do end up getting married and starting a family of their own in the end. On paper, their romance seems relatively dreamlike.
However, that's not the full story of the ups and downs of their relationship. Sasuke initially doesn't care enough to give Sakura the time of day, and there are even multiple instances where he seems indifferent to her life being in danger — or actively endangers it himself. Sakura's unhealthy obsession with Sasuke also stunts her growth in other ways.
10. Even After Starting A Family, Sasuke Is A Largely Absent Father Who Can't Connect With His Daughter
There's a long period of time between the original series and Shippuden where Sasuke is absent after he turned his back on the Leaf to instead seek revenge. He eventually does come back and start a life with Sakura, but even then he's absent most of the time.
While this is due to being sent out on missions and he doesn't have much of a choice, he fails to properly connect with his daughter Sarada when he does get to spend time with her. He's so bad on this front that he actually ends up getting scolded by his old squad leader, Kakashi.
9. Sakura Ignores Naruto And Treats Him Like Garbage Because Of Her Initial Infatuation
It's one thing to have a crush on someone and to value their opinion more than anyone else's. It's another thing when this infatuation causes someone to treat others around them poorly, especially when their crush doesn't even want to give them the time of day.
In the beginning, Naruto continually makes efforts to connect with Sakura and get to know her better. She not only brushes him off but straight-up calls him annoying and tells him to get lost, simply because he's not the object of her romantic affection, instead of making any attempt to bond with her teammate.
8. Sakura Appears Blind To Much Of Sasuke's Suffering, Instead Focusing On Her Own Feelings
Sakura values Sasuke above everything else in her life, and this remains true even after he defects from the Leaf. Despite this, though, it oftentimes feels as if she doesn't consider his feelings and struggles and is instead remains much more focused on her own.
In the beginning, she doesn't consider his feelings regarding his murdered family when talking down on Naruto, saying he's so undisciplined because he doesn't have parental guidance. She's also quick to say she'll help Sasuke with his path of revenge when he goes to leave the village despite this being an incredibly destructive and harmful path.
7. Sakura Throws Away Her Best Friend For Sasuke When He Doesn't Care At All About Her
Back when Sakura was much younger, she completely lacked self-confidence and was a consistent target of bullying from other girls. It's Ino who stepped in, got the bullies to back off, and showed Sakura that she shouldn't hide her insecurities and instead have more confidence in herself.
Sakura then decides to throw away their friendship simply because she hears that Ino also has a crush on Sasuke. She says it's for the sake of them becoming rivals, but they both would've been much stronger if they worked together rather than letting a guy split them apart, especially a guy who doesn't care for either of them.
6. For A Long Time, Sasuke Shows No Interest In Her While Both Naruto And Rock Lee Do
Sakura stays completely devoted to Sasuke even though he betrays no romantic interest in her whatsoever. This might make sense if there were no one else who cared for Sakura and wanted her to be happy, but both Naruto and Rock Lee care immensely for her.
Lee goes as far as to risk his own life for Sakura's sake in the Forest of Death, and the two of them bond when Sakura goes to Lee's hospital room nearly every day to spend time with him after the tournament. Naruto consistently offers to spend time with Sakura and gives her positive attention, and she instead chooses to yearn after Sasuke, who's totally caught up with his curse mark and revenge business.
5. Sakura States She Has No Interests Or Hobbies That Don't Involve Sasuke
During the initial introduction that Kakashi has everyone participate in, the members of the newly-formed Team 7 all go around stating a bit about themselves. Sasuke focuses on his future revenge, and though Naruto mostly talks about ramen, he at least also states his dream of becoming Hokage.
Sakura, on the other hand, states that all of her likes and hobbies have to do with Sasuke. Because of this, she also declares that the thing she hates is Naruto. This is incredibly immature, and it's not a good foundation for any relationship if one's entire world revolves around the person they like and they don't have anything else to bring them happiness.
4. They Don't Put Equal Effort Into Their Relationship After Getting Married
Sakura essentially gives up on her life as a shinobi in order to raise her and Sasuke's daughter while he's away. He's gone for so long on missions that Sakura admits that the main reason she keeps so many pictures of Sasuke is so she doesn't forget what he looks like, which is heartbreaking.
Sasuke, on the other hand, doesn't make any effort to stop by and see his family while he's away for years at a time. He could at least send letters to get updates on how their daughter is doing — something he should care deeply about — but he never does.
3. Sakura Plots To Steal A Kiss From Sasuke When He Has No Interest In Her
After graduation, on the day when the teams are made up, Sakura asks Sasuke if she can sit by him. He completely and utterly ignores her, but this doesn't stop her from sitting beside him regardless.
She states internally that she'll be "stealing his first kiss today," which comes off incredibly creepy when he hasn't expressed any interest in her or desire to kiss her. It doesn't make her look like someone who actually cares about him when she's willing to try to get a kiss from him without his consent.
2. Sakura's Self-Confidence Early On Is Completely Reliant On Sasuke
Before the Chunin Exams, Sakura asks Sasuke if he'd like to train with her. He coldly brushes her off and comments that, when it comes to trying to push her plans onto others who aren't interested, she's just as bad as Naruto.
This rejection completely crushes her self-confidence and she immediately agrees with him instead of standing up for herself. She stays in this funk until Sasuke later compliments her ability to see through genjutsu, after which her self-confidence is immediately restored. It's incredibly unhealthy for her sense of self to hinge on how Sasuke treats her.
1. Sasuke Almost Successfully Ended Sakura's Life
If there's one thing that should have made Sakura realize Sasuke didn't care about her the way she cared about him, above all else, it's the moment he tries to kill her.
Sakura goes after Sasuke declaring that she'll be the one to kill him herself after he becomes an international criminal, but she freezes in the moment. He then tries to kill her instead. He would have been successful in this endeavor, too, if Kakashi hadn't shown up just in time to deflect Sasuke's Chidori and save her. Her infatuation with him doesn't waver whatsoever after this, which feels incredibly off-putting after this vicious interaction.

Can you do a headcanon post about Kiyama x Midorikawa adopting Kariya?
Oh boy, initially their house is sheer chaos.
Kariya rarely listened to what they said to him and rebelled almost all the time.
Kiyama knew that things won't go the way they imagined to, so they tried to talk it all out in peace one day.
Kariya is a terrible student and has to go to private lessons, but he sometimes skips them without their knowledge, because he gave his teachers the wrong number.
Midorikawa often visits his room and talks about his interests.
Kariya often tells them he has a passion for mastering playing the electric guitar.
Kiyama bought him an acoustic first to learn the basics. Kariya was still happy.
Midorikawa asked Kariya to blast his music only when they are out.
Kariya stays up late and sometimes doesn't even sleep, so Midorikawa checked up on him every night until this horrible habit was fixed.
Kiyama plays with Kariya on his ps4. He learned just so he could spend some time with Kariya.
Midorikawa was too strict at first and scolded him for his low grades, but one day Kariya was too overwhelmed and almost cried. Midorikawa was so hurt at this sight and softened a bit.
Now he helps him instead of scolding him.
The couple enjoys it when Kariya performs songs on his guitar in their presence.
Kariya loves Halloween and Kiyama sews him his own costumes.
They started having movie nights more frequently and comply with what Kariya wants to watch.
Most of the time it's horror and Mido cannot sleep after that.
Kariya likes to watch when one of them is cooking and often participates in this activity when he is in a better mood.
They go for walks and Kariya shapeshifts into a master photographer because Kiyama always wants to capture the moments with his family.
Kariya often brings friends over and one-day Midorikawa was wondering why is he not as nice towards them, even though they are not as strict as before.
Turned out Kariya was just embarrassed to show his affection towards his parents.
Midorikawa earns more money and buys him concert tickets if he's been behaving well.
Kariya likes to ask his dads about their past and the techniques they used.

JACOBIN FICTION CONVENTION MEETING 1: La Seine no Hoshi (1975)
Tumblr media
1. Introduction
Well, dear reader, here it is. My first ever official review. And, as promised, this is one of the pieces of Frev media that you have likely never heard of before.
So, without further ado, sit down, relax, grab drinks and snacks and allow me to tell you about an anime called “La Seine no Hoshi” (The Star of the Seine).
“La Seine no Hoshi” is a children’s anime series made by Studio Sunrise. It consists of 39 episodes and was originally broadcast in Japan from April 4th to December 26th of 1975.
Unlike its more famous contemporary, a manga called “Rose of Versailles” that had begun being released in 1972 and is considered a classic to this day, “La Seine no Hoshi” has stayed relatively obscure both in the world of anime and among other Frev pop culture.
Personally, the only reason why I found out about its existence was the fact that I actively seek out everything Frev-related and I just happened to stumble upon the title on an anime forum several years ago.
So far, the anime has been dubbed into Italian, French, German and Korean but there is no English or even Spanish dub so, unfortunately, people who do not speak fluent Japanese or any other aforementioned language are out of luck ( if anyone decides to make a fandub of the series, call me). That being said, the series is readily available in dubs and the original version on YouTube, which is where I ended up watching it. The French dub calls the anime “La Tulipe Noire” (The Black Tulip), which could be an homage to the movie with the same name that takes place in the same time period.
Unfortunately, while I do speak Japanese well enough to maintain a basic conversation and interact with people in casual daily situations, I’m far from fluent in the language so the version I watched was the French dub, seeing as I am majoring in French.
So, with all of this info in mind, let’s find out what the story is about and proceed to the actual review.
2. The Summary
(Note: Names of the characters in the French dub and the original version differ so I will use names from the former since that’s what I watched)
The story of “La Seine no Hoshi” revolves around a 15-year old girl called Mathilde Pasquier - a daughter of two Parisian florists who helps her parents run their flower shop and has a generally happy life.
But things begin to change when Comte de Vaudreuil, an elderly Parisian noble to whom Mathilde delivers flowers in the second episode, takes her under his wing and starts teaching her fencing for an unknown reason and generally seems to know more about her than he lets on.
Little does Mathilde know, those fencing lessons will end up coming in handy sooner than she expected. When her parents are killed by corrupt nobles, the girl teams up with Comte de Vaudreuil’s son, François, to fight against corruption as heroes of the people, all while the revolution keeps drawing near day by day and tensions in the city are at an all time high.
This is the gist of the story, dear readers, so with that out of the way, here’s the actual review:
3. The Story
Honestly, I kind of like the plot. It has a certain charm to it, like an old swashbuckling novel, of which I’ve read a lot as a kid.
The narrative of a “hero of the common folk” has been a staple in literature for centuries so some might consider the premise to be unoriginal, but I personally like this narrative more than “champion of the rich” (Looking at you, Scarlet Pimpernel) because, historically, it really was a difficult time for commoners and when times are hard people tend to need such heroes the most.
People need hope, so it’s no surprise that Mathilde and François (who already moonlights as a folk hero, The Black Tulip) become living legends thanks to their escapades.
Interestingly enough, the series also subverts a common trope of a hero seeking revenge for the death of his family. Mathilde is deeply affected by the death of her parents but she doesn’t actively seek revenge. Instead, this tragedy makes the fight and the upcoming revolution a personal matter to her and motivates her to fight corruption because she is not the only person who ended up on its receiving end.
The pacing is generally pretty good but I do wish there were less filler episodes and more of the overarching story that’s dedicated to the secret that Comte de Vaudreuil and Mathilde’s parents seem to be hiding from her and maybe it would be better if the secret in question was revealed to the audience a bit later than episode 7 or so.
However, revealing the twist early on is still an interesting narrative choice because then the main question is not what the secret itself is but rather when and how Mathilde will find out and how she will react, not to mention how it will affect the story.
That being said, even the filler episodes do drive home the point that a hero like Mathilde is needed, that nobles are generally corrupt and that something needs to change. Plus, those episodes were still enjoyable and entertaining enough for me to keep watching, which is good because usually I don’t like filler episodes much and it’s pretty easy to make them too boring.
Unfortunately, the show is affected by the common trope of the characters not growing up but I don’t usually mind that much. It also has the cliché of heroes being unrecognizable in costumes and masks, but that’s a bit of a staple in the superhero stories even today so it’s not that bothersome.
4. The Characters
It was admittedly pretty rare for a children’s show to have characters who were fleshed out enough to seem realistic and flawed, but I think this series gives its characters more development than most shows for kids did at the time.
I especially like Mathilde as a character. Sure, at first glance she seems like a typical Nice Pretty Ordinary Girl ™️ but that was a part of the appeal for me.
I am a strong believer in that a character does not need to be a blank slate or a troubled jerk to be interesting and Mathilde is neither of the above. She is essentially an ordinary girl with her own life, family, friends, personality and dreams and, unfortunately, all of that is taken away from her when her parents are killed.
Her initial reluctance to participate in the revolution is also pretty realistic as she is still trying to live her own life in peace and she made a promise to her parents to stay safe so there’s that too.
I really like the fact that the show did not give her magic powers and that she was not immediately good at fencing. François does remark that her fencing is not bad for a beginner but in those same episodes she is clearly shown making mistakes and it takes her time to upgrade from essentially François’s assistant in the heroic shenanigans to a teammate he can rely on and sees as an equal. Heck, later there’s a moment when Mathilde saves François, which is a nice tidbit of her development.
Mathilde also doesn’t have any romantic subplots, which is really rare for a female lead.
She has a childhood friend, Florent, but the two are not close romantically and they even begin to drift apart somewhat once Florent becomes invested in the revolution. François de Vaudreuil does not qualify for a love interest either - his father does take Mathilde in and adopts her after her parents are killed so François is more of an older brother than anything else.
Now, I’m not saying that romance is necessarily a bad thing but I do think that not having them is refreshing than shoehorning a romance into a story that’s not even about it. Plus most kids don’t care that much for romance to begin with so I’d say that the show only benefits from the creative decision of not setting Mathilde up with anyone.
Another interesting narrative choice I’d like to point out is the nearly complete absence of historical characters, like the revolutionaries. They do not make an appearance at all, save for Saint-Just’s cameo in one of the last episodes and, fortunately, he doesn’t get demonized. Instead, the revolutionary ideas are represented by Florent, who even joins the Jacobin Club during the story and is the one who tries to get Mathilde to become a revolutionary. Other real people, like young Napoleon and Mozart, do appear but they are also cameo characters, which does not count.
Marie-Antoinette and Louis XVI are exceptions to the rule.
(Spoiler alert!)
Marie-Antoinette is portrayed as kind of spoiled and out of touch. Her spending habits get touched on too but she is not a malicious person at heart. She is simply flawed. She becomes especially important to the story later on when Mathilde finds out the secret that has been hidden from her for her entire life.
As it turns out, Marie- Antoinette, the same queen Mathilde hated so much, is the girl’s older half-sister and Mathilde is an illegitimate daughter of the Austrian king and an opera singer, given to a childless couple of florists to be raised in secret so that her identity can be protected.
The way Marie-Antoinette and Mathilde are related and their further interactions end up providing an interesting inner conflict for Mathilde as now she needs to reconcile this relationship with her sister and her hatred for the corruption filling Versailles.
The characters are not actively glorified or demonized for the most part and each side has a fair share of sympathetic characters but the anime doesn’t shy away from showing the dark sides of the revolution either, unlike some other shows that tackle history (*cough* Liberty’s Kids comes to mind *cough*).
All in all, pretty interesting characters and the way they develop is quite realistic too, even if they could’ve been more fleshed out in my opinion.
5. The Voice Acting
Pretty solid. No real complaints here. I’d say that the dub actors did a good job.
6. The Setting
I really like the pastel and simple color scheme of Paris and its contrast with the brighter palette of Versailles. It really drives home the contrast between these two worlds.
The character designs are pretty realistic, simple and pleasant to watch. No eyesores like neon colors and overly cutesy anime girls with giant tiddies here and that’s a big plus in my book.
7. The Conclusion
Like I said, the show is not available in English and those who are able to watch it might find it a bit cliché but, while it’s definitely not perfect. I actually quite like it for its interesting concept, fairly realistic characters and a complex view of the French Revolution. I can definitely recommend this show, if only to see what it’s all about.
Some people might find this show too childish and idealistic, but I’m not one of them.
I’m almost 21 but I still enjoy cartoons and I’m fairly idealistic because cynicism and nihilism do not equal maturity and, if not for the “silly” idealism, Frev itself wouldn’t happen so I think shows like that are necessary too, even if it’s just for escapism.
If you’re interested and want to check it out, more power to you.
Anyway, thank you for attending the first ever official meeting of the Jacobin Fiction Convention. Second meeting is coming soon so stay tuned for updates.
Have a good day, Citizens! I love you!

How would they be as a boyfriend?
Characters: Midoriya Izuku, Bakugo Katsuki, Todoroki Shoto
Type: Headcanons 
Tumblr media
Midoriya Izuku
Tumblr media
☁️At first, he’s a m e s s
☁️This guy never dated anyone before, so he doesn’t know how to act. He never thought he would get this far after confessing.
☁️He won’t start any physical advances, afraid that he could make you uncomfortable. So prepare yourself to be the first one initiating most of it.
☁️It’s not like he’ll refuse your advances though, he’ll be more than eager to hug you back tighter, squeeze your hand more and smile during your first kiss.
☁️But once he’s used to it? oh boi 
☁️He’s the most affectionate boyfriend ever.
☁️Expect surprise back hugs, a lot of butterfly kisses, and random compliments all the time.
☁️He still can’t believe such an amazing person would settle for someone like him, so he’ll make you feel like his one and only.
☁️Did I mention this guy l o v e s cuddles?
☁️He’ll literally sneak into your dorm room almost every night, just so he can fall asleep while cuddling you.
☁️Everyone from class 1-A is extremely supportive of the relationship since most of them knew about his crush and even helped him confess.
☁️He’s a little shy when he’s around the rest of the class, only holding your hand, pulling you close, and maybe squeeze in a temple kiss or two.
☁️If you try anything more than that he’ll turn into a blushing mess in front of your peers, which results in an rOASTING session really quick
☁️“I never imagined someone could turn this red”
☁️“His face really LIGHTED UP
☁️I guess he’s really... sHOCKED“
☁️“Stop it kAMINARI”
Tumblr media
Bakugo Katsuki
Tumblr media
☁️This boy will try to act as chill as possible. 
☁️He doesn't want everyone to know that you two are dating right away.
☁️Not that he's ashamed of you, he just doesn't want anyone to make a big deal out of it.
☁️He'll fail miserably though.
☁️The moment he steps foot into the classroom and sees you, the light blush on his face gives him away.
☁️He'll be closer to you and even starts to participate in the class conversations more because of you.
☁️He'll help you if you have any questions about homework.
☁️Carry your bag if it's too heavy.
☁️Of course, he still yells at everybody and refers to them as extras.
☁️Everyone already knows something's going on, but no one says anything about it.
☁️When it's only the two of you, he shows his other side.
☁️A pomeranian.
☁️A boy who likes to be held at all times, especially while you play with his hair.
☁️He absolutely loves it.
☁️You're the only one who can get him to talk about his feelings calmly. So when you're both laying on his bed, he may rant to you about everything regarding his day.
☁️He hates when you're not paying attention to him.
☁️"Oi, get off the phone and play with my hair".
☁️He's still very focused on becoming the number one hero, so he'll treasure every moment you spend with him.
☁️So be ready for a lot of studying dates with kisses as a reward for your hard work.
☁️He'll eventually start slipping up around your classmates, not being able to act as cool anymore.
☁️It all started when you were having a sparring session with the class using your quirks and you won a match against Momo.
☁️That's my girl!" he said to himself a little too loudly
☁️”Ownnnn, Bakugo's in love"
☁️"SHUT UP SHITTY HAIR"
☁️He let go of trying to act chill and is more affectionate towards you, even with the others around.
Tumblr media
Todoroki Shoto
Tumblr media
☁️As funny as it may seem, Todoroki is actually a very affectionate boyfriend.
☁️Maybe it's because he learned from his father what NOT to do.
☁️Maybe it's because he wants to give you the affection he wasn't given.
☁️Maybe he's just a little socially inept.
☁️Whatever the reason, this guy is a total a n g e l.
☁️It doesn't matter if he's around his classmates, he'll hold you close, call you pet names and kiss your hair.
☁️The girls love to fangirl about your relationship.
☁️"You're so lucky y/n, he's handsome AND treats you like a princess".
☁️He spoils you rotten with gifts and lunch dates.
☁️It's a win-win situation for him.
☁️Not only is he treating you like the queen you are, but he's also making his dad's pockets hurt. 
☁️You looked a little too long at a jewelry set when you guys went shopping? He bought it for you.
☁️You're on your period and craving something sweet? He goes to the best bakery in town and buys you a cake.
☁️You might feel a little uncomfortable with all the gifts, but he assures you it's no problem and that it makes him happy.
☁️He's also very protective of you.
☁️If he notices anyone is making you feel uncomfortable, he'll interject right away.
☁️"I'm sorry, but my girlfriend seems rather uncomfortable, please step aside".
☁️When you two are alone, he likes to make different activities with you, like baking.
☁️You almost set his kitchen on fire while trying a new cake recipe.
☁️He tried to make the batter cook faster with his quirk, and you actually thought it would work.
☁️It didn't.
☁️He also really likes braiding his partner's hair and doing face masks.
☁️This guy just wants to live his best life with his bae.

a knight does not die with empty hands
SSM20 prompt #30: Only One
Sasuke’s old habits are hard to break. Rated K
Their romance begins in an utterly mundane fashion, and Sakura wouldn’t have it any other way. 
She doesn’t have a story of cosmic and world-ending consequences like Naruto’s or Hinata’s. And unlike Ino and Sai, there are no evil cult leaders and daring rescues.
Her story and Sasuke’s story are those quiet nights walking back side-by side after a hospital shift. It is a soft affection that grows at the table sipping tea while talking about the weather. Just a girl and a boy and the emergence of something deeper.
---
They don’t hold hands. Not really. 
Sasuke has never been a proponent of public displays of affection and Naruto finds it to be a great insult on her behalf. 
“You two are acting the same as always,” Naruto berates Sasuke one day as they all are having dinner. “How are we all even supposed to know you two are dating?
Taking offense to the comment, Sasuke hisses back “We’re not dating. We are courting.”
“What’s the difference?! It’s the same thing!”
“You’re an idiot.” 
“And you don’t know how to romance a lady!”
The two continue to argue loudly until Sai informs them that management is unhappy with the noise level and considering kicking them out. Hero status notwithstanding
---
When they were younger, Sakura took great pride in being one of the few allowed to touch her beloved Sasuke-kun. Normally he rejects any shows of affection and comfort, especially if they involve hugs and hand holding and touching of any kind. 
Although he never did quite look happy when she wraps her arms around his middle or hooks their arms together or when she cries over him when she thinks she lost him, Sasuke doesn’t quite shake her off either. 
In fact, there are even times when Sakura thinks those stray touches have a deeper meaning. Their intertwined hands in a dark forest. The desperate embrace during his descent into madness. His arm catching her before she falls. 
Things are different now. Sakura doesn’t quite love him like she used to and Sasuke doesn’t really hate her as much as he claimed. And they are so weak for each other. 
Now when Sakura grasps his hand, threading their fingers like a promise, he smiles so softly at her. It makes Sakura fall a little more. 
---
Except there are times, more often than not, she notices that Sasuke isn’t at ease as he seems. 
He grits his teeth when they shop hand in hand at the market. Sweat drips from his brow, his breathing quickens, and his grip on her hand tightens whenever someone approaches too close. There is a slight trembling in their clasped hands whenever someone stops to talk with them on the streets.
He accepts her hand and her arms and her affection, but Sakura knows he is uncomfortable. He always has been a private man and she feels guilty for forcing him out of his comfort zone. She worries that due to his never ending penitence, he feels he has to indulge her.
So Sakura tries to reduce the amount of times they touch each other in public. She makes sure to stand at a respectable distance, hoping to ease his anxiety even just a bit.
Perhaps that’s why Naruto complains about Sasuke’s aloofness. Or why Ino wonders how he is still so cold to her. Or why Kakashi sometimes looks at them with pity. 
To the outside world, that’s what it must look like. A foolish girl in love with a heartless man. 
It hurts to not be able to express her love, but she loves him enough to compromise her desires for his comfort. 
Yet, away from prying eyes, Sasuke is more receptive. He actively seeks out her embrace. Her hands, her lips, her love. He holds her closer and closer still.
So when he asks if she would leave with him, Sakura knows it will be good for them. Things will be different. 
---
Sasuke is not much better even with the scenery change. 
When they are on the road, Sasuke is still on edge. He tenses when she reaches for him. He jumps when she extends her arm.  He clutches his sword a bit tighter when she draws near. 
Yet sometimes, when the night is so quiet it seems like they are only ones in the universe, he inches closer and closer still until they are one. 
She finds herself feeling disappointed hoping that being away, from Konoha, from expectation, from everyone, would change things. 
Sakura does not understand. And all she ever wanted was to understand him. 
---
The ambush had been a surprise but hardly a battle for their combined skill. A few thieves on the road are nothing compared to what they have already seen. The highwaymen are quickly apprehended and left with the nearest officials. 
Despite this Sasuke throws himself forward as vanguard, first to engage. Afterwards he brushes her off, never meeting her eyes or responding to her concerned inquiries. When she reaches for his only hand, he all but snatches it away, horrified. 
“You know I could have taken them.” she tells him after they make camp as he methodically wipes the blood from his sword. “I am perfectly capable of fighting, you don’t have to jump in front every time.” 
Sasuke continues cleaning his weapon, “It’s not like that.” 
“Then what? Why are you acting like this?”
Sakura is frustrated. It’s one thing to be protected, it’s another thing to not be trusted to protect herself. And the weeks and weeks of his hot and cold attitude, she finally reaches her limit. 
She sits down across from him seething and does not speak to him the rest of the day. 
----
As they settle in for the night, she senses Sasuke lying down next to her in their makeshift tent. She is facing away from him and he turns to her. Sakura is aware of the heat radiating from him like an imploding sun.
Then slowly, ever so softly, he reaches for her. 
His fingertips barely brush against the back of her shirt before he clutches the fabric between the tips of his fingers. Sakura almost believes she is imagining it if not for the slight trembling of his only hand.
For a long time they are still. The only sound permeating the tent is the night outside and the synchronization of their breathing. 
Eventually Sakura turns to face him, the only man she’s ever loved. She brushes his hand away from her shirt. Sasuke is startled by her sudden movement, but when she intertwines their fingers he relaxes. He brings their connected hands to lips as a silent token of gratitude. 
Sakura notices that the trembling still hasn’t subsided. 
This time she reaches for him. Her other hand cups his cheek and brings him close until their foreheads touch.
“I’m sorry.” 
“Sasuke-kun, it’s…” but he cuts her off. 
“I trust you, I do. I just...” There is a faraway look in his eyes. “I have only one.” He squeezes their clasped hands. 
She already knows about his qualms about a prosthetic arm. He had told her once upon a time ago that he didn’t deserve it. It is both a reminder of his sins and a testament to his atonement. 
“If I couldn’t protect you because I was…” she follows his gaze to the shape of their connected palms, “Distracted.”
There is a long silence, “If something were to happen to you, I don’t think I could forgive myself.”
---
The next morning when they set off, Sakura grabs his empty sleeve. She wraps it loosely around her wrist as if they are bound together. 
This is her new oath
Sasuke is surprised but does not try to shake her off. Sakura raises her opposite hand and clenches it into a fist. 
“If something happens, I’m sure we can take them one hand behind our backs! Together” 
And the way he smiles afterwards is so gentle makes her fall for him a bit more. 
--- 
Sarada unsurprisingly starts to learn to walk much quicker than her parents  initially anticipated. 
Sakura watches with amusement as their daughter attempts to stand using Sasuke’s pant leg as purchase. Her husband is very patient and always carefully helps Sarada back up when she loses balance. He murmurs words of encouragement that Sarada doesn’t understand but nevertheless welcomes. 
Eventually, Sarada grows tired of just standing and attempts to take her first step. Unfortunately she overestimates her gross motor control and starts to topple forward. Her father catches her before she falls. 
Not deterred, Sarada tries again. This time with her using her father’s hand for balance. 
As she takes another step, Sakura takes her daughter’s other hand. Sarada takes another step. Her husband glances over at her, but she finds instead of a tense gaze it is one of contentment. 
And the Uchiha family walk together hand in hand, one small step at a time.
A/N: Oof and that’s it for me this month! SSM is always so fun so I’m glad to be able to participate again. Thank you for reading! Happy SSM20 and stay safe!
