Arcana headcanons: main 6 and how they give physical affection

More cheesy headcanons \o/!! Kisses, Hugs and caresses... with their respective favourite forms of affection in the first place!

Asra

Asra's kisses are never the same. Sometimes sweet, sometimes spicy... slow and deliberate, or delicate and subdued as the touch of a feather. There is always a slight indescribable sensation, a special warmth that connects you both, but that you wouldn't know how to describe with words. It's like electricity, an ancient sensation like the warmth of the sun, a feeling of transcendence that transports you to a higher place where only the two of you exist. There's something exotic about the way his lips press against yours, but at the same time there's something familiar that makes you feel safe.

His hugs are very sweet and warm, they never feel forceful in any way. Usually he holds you lovingly while he strokes your back, squeezing gently. He has a gift for calming you down as your auras melt into each other. Yet you always sense a hint of despair when he wraps his arms around you; a faint fear, as if he was afraid that you could disappear at any moment.

He loves to hold hands. Whenever he can, specially if you two are walking on the street side by side, he will reach out to take your hand. Sometimes it begins with a light touch with the tip of his fingers, an attempt, and soon after he entwines all his fingers with yours. He uses his thumb to stroke the back of your hand, or gently rubs his palm against yours. He likes to use caresses as a form of meditation; sometimes, when you need to calm down, he will gently instruct you to focus solely on the contact of his fingers on your arms, hands, and face.

He has a thing for scratches, both giving and receiving. The back is his favorite place, he will fall asleep in a matter of a few minutes if you scratch him there. He lets out short, breathy laughs when you reach a specially nice spot. When it's your turn, he runs his delicate, filed nails across your skin, soft enough not to hurt you, but strong enough to leave faint lines on your skin.

Nadia

Nadia’s favourite form of giving affection are caresses. Her touches vary in form all the time: scratching gently with her nails, walking her fingertips gently, squeezing her palm firmly against you... she loves feeling your skin and reactions, and has a gift to make you shiver; she always chuckles when she feels your hair standing on end. She will caress you all the time: absentmindedly while you talk, sweetly while you take a walk together, brushing your lips lovingly with her thumb while you are lying on bed... and provocatively while you are in public situations in which you definitely shouldn’t be caressing each other. She feels a special pleasure in caressing you in secret while you are in company of other people; unseen caresses under the table, rubbing your knee or thigh... if you get flustered, she’ll find it amusing and next time she’ll become even bolder.

Her kisses are demanding and fierce, her lips full and thick. She almost always leads, and she likes to drive you to the limit until you are breathless and have to stop for air. She uses her tongue... a lot. You feel at her mercy, which she has none. Also, she bites. However, some other times, on special occasions where she feels a little lost... her kisses are really vulnerable, with an almost invisible touch of insecurity.

She doesn’t give hugs very often but, when she does, they are firm and strong, possessive. More often than not, she hugs just with one arm: she surrounds your waist and pulls gently but demandly until your body is pressed against hers. When she gives a full hug, the air leaves your lungs, and you feel both completely protected and safe, but also a little small. 

Unless you ask otherwise... she will give you SO MANY love marks. She even gets a little smug about it. However, she is sensible and prudent, and always leaves the marks on hidden places, like the inner thigh... she feels like those marks are little secrets you two share.

Julian

Soooooooooo sweet when giving, soooooooooo brutish when receiving. He’s an addict for love marks, hickeys, bites and scratches. His love language is “letting you do whatever the fuck you want to him”, and will lose his mind if he sees the mark of your teeth on his skin. Even though he is so willing to let you put all your marks on him, he is a little reluctant at first to do the same to you (he doesn’t want to hurt you). However, if you insist juuuuust a little bit, he will succumb to temptation: he will observe the purplish marks appear on your skin like he’s witnessing a fucking miracle, incredulous that he was the one who did it.

Julian’s kisses are fervent like in a fever. If you kiss him a just a liiittle passionately, after you finish he will look at you like his head is still spinning. He wets, bites and licks his lips a lot, his lips are always a little swollen and reddish after you two kiss. But he also has a sweet side: he always asks for pecks on the cheek, and gives them in return too. He gives pecks for literally everything, every time: he’s going to work? First he needs his cheek kiss. He goes shopping? Cheek kiss. He goes to throw out the trash? Cheek kiss. He goes to the fucking bathroom? CHEEK KISS.

He likes to spin you around when he hugs you, and he always laugh when he does. He says he has everything under control, but it's not true: you're going to end up on the ground nine times out of ten... and somehow, he always looks surprised of that result. He's skinny and his arms are a little lanky, so his hugs aren't the most comfortable ones... but there's something sweet about watching Julian try to accommodate his long arms and hands around you.

His caresses are devoted, admired, almost timorous... as if he was praying to a saint and wasn’t totally sure to be allowed to touch them. He’ll make sure you like the contact by checking your expression all the time... but, to be honest, he lets the caresses almost always for the sexy times. Nonetheless, he is really fond of pats on the back, hand shakes and the like.

Muriel

He gives the sweetest hugs you will ever receive in your life. It’s unbelievable how, as big as he is, he can be so delicate, warm and soft. You can bury yourself in him, his wide chest and big arms feel like the safest place on earth. His chest always rumbles with the low and deep drums of his heart; it’s adorable when he gets embarrassed and his heart starts going fast... and suddenly he wants to end the hug so you don’t notice (too late, you always notice cause he’s not subtle). He gets addicted to hugs, he wants them aaaaall the time. After some time, you instinctively know when he wants one. He gives you that look, like an abandoned cub, and you know already that he’s desperate to cuddle.

His kisses are very chaste, you must not expect very steamy sessions out of him. He mostly gives sweet pecks; his lips are always soft, warm and a little humid (he unconsciously licks his lips a lot when you are around). It won’t come out of him to use his tongue or anything like that... but if it is YOU the one who gets steamy, you will presence a real show of him getting really into it while simultaneously wanting to run away in a matter of seconds. 

Any caress you give him will make him sigh with contentment. He falls asleep easily if you caress his back or his arms: he loves cuddling together in silence for HOURS. He will be the happiest person on earth if you scratch his scalp, and then he’ll try to reciprocate shyly. He is very generous, and will absentmindedly rub your back or play with your hair for as long as you’ll take it.

He will never dream of giving you any mark, he is so careful... if by accident he gives you a faint scratch or mark, he will stare at it frowning everytime he sees it, until it disappears. However, he gets a strange high from you giving him hickeys; it a weird mix of embarrassment and feeling proud. 

Portia

BEAR HUGS TM. Her body is so chubby, soft and warm, her arms so strong and reassuring. Her body feels like a giant pillow where you can sink to rest. When she hugs you it feels like you passed away and went to heaven, it’s like swimming in clouds. She always smells so good, with a faint sweet scent that reminds you of pastries or petrichor. She likes to pick you up with her strong arms and spin around until you both are dizzy (it doesn’t matter if you are tall or short, big or small... she will manage somehow). Portia is a A+ hugger... except when she chooses to give you a “Soul Crusher“. In those moments when you can see the mischief in her eyes and ear her theatrical evil laugh... you better run.

Her kisses are almost always short, playful pecks... she gives so many of them. She likes to play a game to give you as many kisses in your face as she can, as fast as she can... and she makes it a competition. You cannot win, she will give you a million kisses in two seconds! You both will end up laughing and with your whole face wet.

An expert on body care. She has lots of skin creams and oils,soaps and shampoos of all kinds of smells. She even tries to make her own, and then asks for your opinion on them. Sometimes, she will just say that you need to hydrate your skin, open up some bottle, and moisture your face or legs with its mysterious contents. Her hands are always warm, even in winter, you don’t understand how; but you don’t complain: feeling her hands against your skin is the best thing in the world (even if they're a little calloused from all the work she does).

Bad news... she loves to tickle. Tickles are a love language, and she speaks it too well. She just can’t help it... you look too cute!! When she thinks you look adorable, it activates her Cute-Aggression instinct, and she must just attack you with all the fury of her fingers.

Lucio

The King of Kisses. Lucio has an undeniable "Gomez Addams" style: he loves to charm you by kissing your entire arm, from the hand, wrist and inside of the elbow, to the shoulder and neck. He takes his sweet time in every kiss, like each is the last: his kisses are deliberate and wet, he does not mind leaving a faint trail of moisture behind him. He pouts and fervently presses his lips against your skin, he's a little messy and sloppy. Actually, he loves to kiss you anywhere: legs and feet are also some of his favorite spots; he’s not ashamed of a little body worship. If he's kissing you on the lips, his kisses can be bruising and demanding, but if you take the lead he'll submit immediately and he'll let little moans scape his throat.

His hugs are needy, like a child in search for comfort and reaffirmation. He especially likes to hug you while you lie down, while he rests on top of you; then, he buries his face in your hair or your axila, rubs his face against your chest, bites you... he whines a lot if you don’t comply, and can be a little annoying at times. The more you give the more he wants, so you’ll have to put a stop at some point or he will hug you at the most inconvenient of times. However, if you reciprocate and do the same things to him, he will absolutely melt at the spot.

He loooooves caresses, specially massages. Lucio loves taking turns to make each other relax, and he’s not sure what he likes more: feeling your hands wandering around his body, or watching your reactions when his hands wanders yours. He NEEDS continuous contact, at all times, no matter where you two are. Are you just talking or chilling? Ok, but just touch him somewhere. Even if it’s just your feet or knees touching, but something, or he will die of cold and loneliness :(

He’s just playing, but sometimes Lucio goes a little overboard with his bites. If he loses control and bites harder than he pretended, he will be the first one to get surprised and will sheepylish apologize with a nervous smile (it was a little oopsie?).

jjk headcannons: gojo & nanami as boyfriends

characters: reader x satoru gojo, reader x kento nanami

warnings: language, mentions of death in gojo's (assassination attempts, gojo unaliving someone)

AN: yuji, megumi, and yuta version HERE

SATORU GOJO

lucky you!!! you go a boyfriend and a 6ft tall superhuman man child wrapped up into one person!!

now

everybody always hc's gojo as a guy thats wayyyyy over the top with PDA

BUT THEY ARE WRONG.

i mean cmon think abt it... since the day he was born, gojo has been the target of assassinations, kidnappings, etc.

and in his eyes being affectionate with you in public where literally anyone can see you…

is basically putting a giant target on your back.

ofc the people closest to him know that you’re together and he’s not afraid to be affectionate in front of them

like his students, principal yaga, nanami, shoko, etc.

in fact if its just these people around y'all you can bet that he's most likely making them sick from how he clings to you

but it’s rare that you and gojo can have a day out together in public like a regular couple

he’s just being overprotective that’s all

speaking of him being overprotective

i dare somebody to threaten you or make you upset lmfao

gojo won't stand for it

the person that makes that mistake mysteriously disappears

and at the end of the day gojo's coming home to you with bloodstains on his shirt

don't question it cause he's not gonna tell you anyways

we all know gojo is a clown fr

but around you? lol multiply his usual goofy behavior by 100

he loves hearing you laugh

even if its at him

introduces you to his students as soon as y'all are officially dating

his students are some of the most important people in his life

and now you are too

his students adore you of course

but they also question how you can put up with gojo's annoying ass all the time (especially megumi lol)

idk i just love bf gojo

KENTO NANAMI

god he's so fine

did somebody say best bf on the planet? cause that's what nanami is

nanami isn't gonna be over the top w the PDA

but he will show you affection in public in small ways

a hand on the small of your back to softly guide you when your walking together

holding you by your waist

holding your hand

and if you're seeing him off on a mission?

he's giving you a chaste kiss on the cheek with a promise of "ill be home before dinner."

and when he does get home he hits you with the "honey, im home!"

FUCK i want him so bad

now nanami is protective too

not a day goes by that he's not scolding you for leaving your front door unlocked, not locking your car, etc.

he just doesn't want something to happen to you when he's not around to protect you

again, nanami doesn't flaunt your relationship around. but everybody knows y'all are together

except one person lmfao

guess who it is

correct!! it's gojo LOLLLLL

he's not hiding your relationship from gojo or anything

nanami just knows when gojo finds out y'all are together that he's gonna end up with a headache

doesn't wanna deal with gojo's teasing

nanami takes you out on dates as often as his job allows

and he's the perfect gentleman ofc

opening doors for you

picking up the bill

bringing you flowers

nanami. knows. the sidewalk. rule.

i love him

dear god i just read your chan x virgin reader smut and I nearly had a stroke. it was so good, i feel like you rly got chan’s personality down so perfectly 😭 can you please please please write one for hyunjin x virgin reader? i wanna cry thinking of how sweet and gentle he would be and how much he would praise/worship you and how passionate and sensual it would be ugh ♥️

thank you!! 🥹🫶 sure i can!!

(i wrote this in one sitting too, so please don't hate me if it's bad 😭🙏 it's so hard to focus on writing when uni is kicking your ass lol)

hwang hyunjin x afab virgin!reader

wc: 1086 (😇)

masterlist ♡

chan’s version ; minho’s version ♡

tw: foreplay (m & f receiving); loss of virginity; unprotected piv sex (don't do that at home!!! 🤨); soft lovemaking in a bathtub; creampie; ♡

mature content under the cut, minors dni!

i kind of get the vibe that he’d like sex to be as romantic as possible, especially if it’s your first time we’re talking about;

so just picture yourself in a bathtub with hyunjin - your back pressed against his chest as you rest your head on his chest as he reads you his favorite poems from he book he’s holding in his hand, voice vibrating in his chest - sending shivers down your spine;

there’d be candles all over the bathroom and petals in the bathtub - red roses, hyunjin’s and your favorite flower;

his other hand would be resting on your hip, caressing your wet skin - dangerously close to your groin, but he doesn’t dare to move it any farther;

you’re comfortable with being naked around each other - you haven’t had sex yet, but you’ve done other stuff like foreplay and dry humping, so there’s no embarrassment between the two of you;

as he reads - sweet, romantic and occasionally passionate words would roll off his tongue easily, almost naturally;

a particularly erotic verse would fall from his lips, and you’d feel yourself getting red in the face - you’d feel yourself getting wet down there;

truth be told - you’ve been thinking about finally sleeping with hyunjin for a while now, you’re definitely ready to take the next step, and you want to do it with him;

you’d move your head from his chest, snapping it up to meet his face - eyes focused on the book, his tongue occasionally brushing over his plump lips;

he’d notice your gaze on him and would stop reading the beautiful poem only to place a soft kiss on your forehead;

“hyunjin”, you’d call him - voice coming out in a whisper, but he’d hear you loud and clear, humming a soft “yes, jagi?” to encourage you to tell him what’s going on inside your head;

“i’m ready”, you’d finally whisper - you can immediately feel the way his body tenses, breath hitching in his throat, so you add “i want you to make love to me”;

he almost has a faints lmao;

“are you sure, my sweet jagi?”, he’d ask you - you can feel his already hard cock pressing against your lower back - “i can wait, you know you don’t have to do this if you’re not sure”;

but you are sure, you’ve never been more sure of anything;

“i’m sure, jinnie”, you place one hand on his jawline - fingers brushing against his soft skin, “i want you to be my first”;

the poor man wasn’t expecting it to happen RIGHT NOW, so when he feels your hand gently wrapping around his hard cock he almost drops his book in the bathtub out of shock;

“oh you- you mean right now? here?”, he’d ask with wide eyes and you’d nod, as he leans in for a kiss - small pecks at first, sweet and chaste, that would turn into a make out session, hyunjin’s tongue brushing your lower lip accompanied by the choked moan that’d leave his lips as soon as he feels you tug at his cock gently;

he’d bring one hand to touch the sensitive spot between your thighs - a whimper leaving your mouth when he inserts one of his long, tapered fingers inside of you;

it would happen like that - you’d climb on top of him after spending a few minutes enjoying mutual masturbation - he’d hold you by your hips so that you don’t slip as you position yourself on top of him;

condoms aren’t exactly water friendly - so you’d do it without one, but it’s fine since you’re on the pill and you’re both tested clean;

i kinda get the feeling he’d keep his gaze on you all the time, not wanting to miss a single thing - he’d want to remember everything;

definitely parts his lips and gasps as soon as he feels the tip of his length parting your entrance, squeezing your hips even tighter;

he’d want you to take your time, he’s definitely not the type to rush sex;

his hands wouldn’t leave your hips as you slowly sink on him - it’d probably take a while, tho, his cock isn’t exactly easy to take - long and hard;

once he’s fully inside of you, you’d both need a minute to adjust - you to the new feeling of finally having him inside of you, him to the feeling of your tight walls wrapped around him;

i kinda get the feeling he’d be the best at controlling himself;

i’d still be a lot for him too, tho;

he’d help you with your movements, slow and gentle;

he wouldn’t move at first - he’d let you take control completely;

but then he’d start thrusting delicately, meeting your movements with the rolls of his hips;

he’d definitely untie your hair, letting the rubber band fall on the floor;

you’d do the same, untying the bun on top of his head - his hair getting a bit damp due to your wet hands, letting his hair fall down and hide his undercut (😢);

his hands would move from your hips to your face - gently cupping it as he leans forward for a kiss;

artist boy definitely places a few petals in your hair!!!;

“you’re an angel, jagiya”, he’d whisper on your lips;

praise, praise, praise, PRAISE!!;

listen, this man has the habit of reading poems every night before going to bed - you’re really expecting him NOT to praise you? during your first time??? well, you’re wrong;

such a sucker for eye contact as he’d whisper words of appreciation such as “you’re so beautiful”, “my baby”, “i love you so much” 🫠;

“you’re so good to me, jagi”, words would roll off his tongue almost automatically as he feels himself getting closer to his end “my perfect angel, so beautiful”;

99.9% you’d cum together;

i kinda picture him as the type of guy who wouldn’t close his eyes as he reaches his high, he’d keep his gaze on you - wanting to see how fucked out you look;

not so loud when he cums - just a choked moan escaping his parted lips as he shoots inside of you, eyes still on you;

he’d bury his head in between your chest as he pants heavily - head spinning from his intense orgasm, kissing your soft skin;

would definitely praise you even after you’re both finished;

“you did so good, my love”, “you were so good to me, i love you”;

he’d definitely paint the scene as a way to remember the moment!!! (even though there’s no way he’s going to forget it);

baji vers | geto vers

ft: vampire!baji x reader, 2.4k

network: @enchantedforest-network

an: here's baji's version!! actually, this one was supposed to come AFTER suguru's but... erm... hehe. it also was supposed to be spookier, but i am nothing but a big ole softy for my loverboy. ): happy halloween! i wanted to post it on his birfday, but i think this is more fitting! could've been longer but i just wanted to get something out LOL. thanks to nie for letting me ramble about this lil fic!!

life is such a finicky thing. and sometimes, the time ticks by too slowly for your liking until it’s suddenly too fast, too short, too soon.

you’ve been to this grave a hundred - no maybe thousands of times, over the years. and yet, like the snowfall, your tears slip down your cheeks, hugging the warmth of your body, til they fall onto the ground disappearing into the asphalt. 

chifuyu matsuno thinks one day, he’ll beat you to it. one day he’ll be the one who arrives first, turning around with a smile and holding a bag of peyoung yakisoba. it’ll be his eyes rimmed red with hands trembling so hard that he’s sure they’ll snap. but you are always here first, almost every day for the past god knows how many years. 

every aspect of the word “first”, is what keisuke baji had embodied. first division captain, first born son, and your first love. he was rowdy, rough, sometimes a little insensitive, but at the end of it all, he was loyal. he was yours. 

“if i’m yours, then you’re mine.” he grinned, toothy, vibrant and all encompassing. his hands held yours like they were the world, and maybe, in a sense, they were. but even the world cannot last forever, the stars themselves bursting at the seams when their time has come. 

“they’re so pretty.” you told him, leaning against his shoulder, pointing up with your index finger. “don’tcha think?” 

“they’re alright,” he mumbled, but he kept his eyes upward, staring at the same stars as you. “i'd rather look at you.” 

“you’re so fucking cheesy.” you laughed, before pressing a chaste kiss to his cheek. 

when stars die, they leave a beautiful supernova, an explosion of color across the galaxy, painting the universe in rich hues of color. but when baji died, you thought it was so fucking ugly. you remember throwing up the first night, your own shitty constellation within the porcelain of your toilet. 

then the world started to dim, like the world was dipped in muted shades when there used to be so much vibrance. the sun was no longer as bright and you no longer sought comfort under the moon, hiding away from even her blue light. 

if there is solace in one thing, it’s that baji was a really good liar. sure, he was different that day and sometimes had trouble looking at you, but there was nothing to suspect that he would decide to plunge in that knife and bleed out on the ground of that god forsaken junkyard. 

“i’m scared you’ll go away,” you told him one night, so desperately wishing now that you would’ve noticed the way he tensed ever so slightly. “like, one day, i’ll wake up and you’re not there anymore.” 

you remember how he leaned in, nose brushing against yours before pulling back slightly. “and where would i go that doesn’t have you in it?” he grinned, another bright fanged smile that eased every single worry out of your brain. and you decided in that moment, that keisuke was always going to be the one that held your heart in his hands. 

“marry me one day.” you replied and he laughed, before holding up his pinky to yours. “good. saying no wasn’t an option.” 

“figured.” 

but today is not a day to be caught in memories as the sun plummets below the horizon, as the sky shifts from a pretty magenta pink to inky black. feet bouncing off the pavement, you scurry over to his grave. you chastise yourself for being late today of all days, it was his birthday. 

“sorry!” you call out as you finally make it, hands on your knees as you suck precious air back into your lungs. “sorry i’m late, kei.” 

you do the usual of pouring water onto the tombstone, before you light a candle and spread the blanket beneath you, sitting cross-legged as you pull out the contents of your bag. “i got a little something extra today,” you say, eagerly pulling out the sealed little slice of cake you got at the bakery. “okay… so it looks a little fucked, but don’t mind that.” you giggle, before sighing.

“if you were here… what would you say?” you mumble to yourself, before putting on your best keisuke voice. “hah? it’s still edible isn’t it?... or something.” you nod as if in response to him, before tearing it open and setting it down. “chifuyu saw you earlier right? did he bring you something good? oh! and, i was looking at some of the cats at the pet shop earlier, they’re no peke j but, they’re still cute, y’know?” 

you always do this. you ramble and ramble, relaying your day to him as if he’s listening intently to you. sometimes, you’ll imagine when the two of you sat in his room, his lips quirked up into a smile as he nodded and listened to you. 

“the cake is good!” you exclaim, taking a bite. it’s fluffy, creamy, and sweet, it almost masks the saltiness of your tears that seep past your lips, onto your tongue and settle on your buds. 

almost.

“fuck- sorry. sorry for crying.” you use one hand to wipe away at your tears, the other holding onto your convenient plastic fork. it’s harder to breathe now, sobs wracking your body as your mind floods with “what ifs” once again. what if you had asked him to stay with you that day? what if you tried harder? what if you had noticed something was wrong sooner? could you have done anything? and what if-

lost in your thoughts you almost miss the familiar drawl that used to set your heart and soul on fire. “still a crybaby, eh?” 

you freeze, the fall breeze caressing your cheek as you sniffle and ever so slowly, turn. you must have been hearing things, you think, as there’s nothing there but the other stone graves and the leaves on the wind. 

“maybe i am losing my fucking mind...” you mutter, taking a deep breath to calm yourself, “i should look into therapy.” 

you shake your head, a little spooked. it’s getting later by the moment, the only light nearby being the candle, a warm-orange flame surrounded by night. you lean over to blow it out, but stop, feeling that you should stay a bit longer. not only are you late, but it’s keisuke’s day, it wouldn’t be right to leave so soon. you frown, before settling back in place. 

“anyways, what was i saying?” you hum, taking another scoop of your dessert. “something-“

“something about the new cats at chifuyu’s shop right?” that familiar voice sounds again, closer this time, tickling the shell of your ear. 

you immediately jerk around and almost pass out at what you see. crouched down and smiling, that familiar wolfy grin is keisuke, looking just like you remembered. from the way his long, inky hair frames his face to the vivid carmine of his eyes, it’s keisuke. 

“hey, continue the story baby, i was listening.” he gestures to the cake on your fork, slipping off the utensil from the shakiness of your hands. “lemme have a bite?” 

you’re snapped from your stupor when he finally touches you, cold fingers lightly guiding your hand upward towards his mouth. you immediately scramble back, the cake falling onto the blanket below. 

“kitten,” he says, frowning at the mess, “y’know i hate wasting food.” the pet name almost sends you into a spiral, the way it falls off his tongue so easily, just like he always used to say it, almost like it was your name at times. 

“you’re not real.” you whisper, shaking your head slightly, the words trapped behind the door of your brain unleashing in that moment. “i’m hallucinating. i have to be.” 

he inches towards you as you continue to crawl back, back hitting the cold gray stone. keisuke leans in, snuffing out the candle between his fingers first before redirecting his attention to you. he’s so close you’re sure he can feel your breath, but the odd thing is, you can’t feel his.

“if i wasn’t real…” he starts, inching in so close your noses just barely touch, just a hair widths away, “could i do this?” he kisses you then, just barely holding back his deep fervent need to snatch you up and take you home. wherever that was. 

it’s strange, baji’s cold, nearly ice, and yet you feel the familiar rush of warmth through your veins that once bloomed so deeply in your heart, that everything suddenly does feel real. the two of you stay like that for a few moments and when he pulls away you lean in again, snatching him by the collar to press another kiss to the lips that you missed so much. 

baji’s wolfish grin plays on his face in between the kisses you continue to plant against his lips and his skin, alternating between his cheeks and jawline. “yeah, yeah, i missed you too, you big crybaby.” he laughs, cupping your face to swipe at the tears that fall freely once again. 

you whine when he forces you to pull off, bringing your hands up to his, almost as if you’re sure he’ll run off again and be gone by morning. “you’re really keisuke? …this isn’t a joke?” you shake your head as you ask, hiccuping and trying your best to heave in gulps of air. 

“yeah, it’s me.” he answers, the crinkle of his eyes never leaving. 

but you just don’t get it. how is baji here and not well, six-feet under? almost as if he can read your mind he speaks, “i’m not really sure how it happened either.” he starts, releasing you and staring down at his palms, opening and closing them, almost as if he’s also in a daze. “i shouldn’t be here, i know that. i made sure i wouldn’t and yet, i woke up not too long after that day.” he lifts his shirt up and you wince in anticipation, but there’s nothing where the old stab wound should be, like it never happened. 

hesitantly, you place your hand flat against the area, before your fingertips trace the outline where it should be. you exhale deeply before speaking again, “how come you only showed up now?” 

he gives you a sheepish grin, rubbing the back of his neck, as the hem of his shirt falls back into place. “well… i had to sort of figure things out. dunno how well received i would’ve been if i just showed up after my own funeral.” he jokes, but you glare at him. 

“do you have any idea at all how badly that fucked me up?” you ask, remembering the countless nights you spent staring up at your bedroom walls so utterly exhausted from crying or the days you spend in a haze, trying your best to get through the day. you won’t lie, you’ve been so angry since that day. endlessly lonely, endlessly empty, and just when you thought you’d be able to get over it, he shows up like it wasn’t that big of a deal. 

“well, i watched you a lot.” he admits, gazing around the cemetery. “you come here every single day, you cry every single time, even when you say you’re not going to. you’ve cursed me out in death more times than i can count and i think you’ve tried every single type of peyoung soba. you, chifuyu, and kazutora have only come here together a handful of times and everytime one of you ends up drunk crying.” he snorts, before continuing, “you sleep with my hair ties under your pillow and almost had the balls to ask my mom for my toman jacket, multiple times.she would’ve said yeah, by the way. every evening you say goodnight to me and that you love me.” 

he grins when you sit there, mouth agape, and asks, “did i miss anythin’?” 

you shake your head, “but what now? i still don’t get why you came here today?” 

he shrugs, “i’ve got a question for ya.” but his expression is serious now, the shift in his features making you nervously fidget with your hands. but before you can look away, he tilts your head towards him, the other hand intertwining with yours, locking you in place. “you still wanna be with me forever?” 

your heart pounds in your chest, almost alarmingly so, as you gaze at him with lidded eyes while your voice is light, fluttering back up to him and relaying the answer he’s been waiting to hear. “of course, keisuke.”

“and you’d do anything? …let me do anything?” he questions further, squeezing when you nod your head. 

you’d let me turn you?

and you’re aware now, what it is he’s asking. and maybe, you think it’s because you centered so much of you life around him, that leaving it behind doesn’t sound too bad. if you were the clouds, then baji was the sky, always trying to stay in that space so intrinsically bound to one another that only death could have separated you. 

he never said the word, but he didn’t really need to. what was the one thing that could have escaped death like this?  what else was he but a vampire? 

“okay,” he sighs, “if you’re sure.”

“more than ever.” you state. 

keisuke is fast, picking you up and into his arms. naturally, you wrap yours around his neck, a part of you still thinking that this must be a dream. 

“well, there’s no way we’re gonna do it in some freakin’ cemetery.” he jokes and you giggle. if his heart could beat, he’s sure it’d flutter just as fast as yours. 

“hey are you gonna turn chifuyu?” you ask, blinking up at him, “or tora?” 

“you think they’d wanna hang out with us? for eternity?” he asks, picking up the pace as he walks.

“hmm, maybe you’re right. besides, takemichi’s gonna miss them too much right?” you continue, the breeze kissing your now dried cheeks. 

“don’t forget mikey.” he adds, before continuing, “well, it’s not like we can’t visit sometime.” 

you nod, placing your head on his shoulder, “not too soon though, we’ve got a lot of catching up to do.” 

he smiles at you as he answers, “don’t worry. we’ve got all the time in the world.” 

as the two of you leave, you peek back towards the lights of the city, becoming smaller and smaller with each step. and you wonder how upset chifuyu’ll be tomorrow when he finds your half-eaten cake, spread out on an already forgotten blanket.

[mukamibabe]

edit: i’m a dumbass and have been calling this the fluff alphabet. it,, is not the fluff alphabet. at least, i don’t think so? anyways lol here’s my take on the sfw alphabet for: the man the myth the legend i hate myself im so sorry i’m writing this at 3 am ruki! mukami!

so without further ado, here’s ruki mukami’s sfw alphabet. you’re welcome. or sorry, lol.

A = Affection (How affectionate are they? How do they show affection?)

so, ruki.. ruki isn’t the most affectionate at first glance but it’s there.

his affection shines through subtle, smaller actions, and he has a lot of ways when it comes to showing affection.

for example, his brothers. perhaps not physically, but it can be very clear that ruki has an affection towards his brothers. with his brothers, he shows his affection and appreciation for them by simply caring for them, doing things for them and spending time with them.

for ruki’s s/o, you know you’ve made it into ruki’s heart once he starts treating you the same way he treats his brothers.

of course, being his s/o, or livestock, there are some differences but i’ll get into that now.

he isn’t big on physical touch, especially early on in relationships. once that trust has been developed, and once he’s gotten over himself, he’s a lot more likely to initiate physical intimacy, and will be somewhat okay receiving it.

for ruki, i think actions speak louder than words, and he likes to think he practices what he preaches. i guess it just depends what his s/o considers to be affection? 

he’s very willing to shower you in (his own version) of affection if you are worthy of it.

if you are, then yes, you’ll frequently see a ruki who shows his affection through things like quality time and acts of service. those two things are more frequent than physical touch, for ruki at least.

that’s not to say he won’t ever feel physically affectionate. it’s rare, but not impossible.

other small physical ways ruki shows his affection towards someone is just by touching them, whether that’s just him resting his hand on you, pulling you into a surprise embrace, giving you a chaste kiss right on the forehead, or something.

physical affection is always something he loves to tease his s/o with. he loves to get his s/o flushed and if simple touches can do that, he’ll definitely catch you by surprise from time to time.

B = Best friend (What would they be like as a best friend?)

ruki isn’t one to just.. let people into his life like that, so, like being his s/o, if you manage to befriend him, like actually become his best friend or one of his closest friends, props to you, honestly.

it would take a lot of time, and i mean a lot. but worth it? definitely. i think he could be a really good friend.

he’s the type of friend who will always tell you the truth, even if it’s blunt and hurtful, and is also someone you can always rely on

if there’s one thing ruki is, it’s loyal, so if you’re a close friend of his, it’ll be a close bond. 

he’s also the best at giving advice. this man has advice for anything and everything, so as a friend of his, he’d always have some sort of advice for you. 

he might seem like a distant friend, but he does keep in contact with his friend/s often, but probably not daily. he’s a busy man with things to do. but, that makes the time spent with one another more valuable, right?

also, in order to be close to ruki, you have to go through his bros first, lol. 

it’s not that hard, honestly. they trust ruki’s opinions and if ruki is friends with someone, they trust his judgement.

that being said, if you’re ruki’s best friend, you’re probably frequently invited over to his place. it’s like an open invitation sort of thing? i would say you’d always be welcome but that’s a little big of an exaggeration.

omg, you both can start a book club. or at least a two-person book club lol. 

a requirement if you’re to be a friend of ruki’s : you have to appreciate his hobbies. 

you don’t care for reading? ruki will make you like it. 

you don’t know how to cook? no? you do now. same with whether or not you like cooking, lol.

he’s not pushy, per se, it’s just.. as i mentioned above, ,, quality time.

all in all, i’d have to rate best friend ruki 10/10. it’s incredibly hard to achieve because ruki doesn’t just let people in, but once you’re close enough, as a best friend, he really might treat you as good as he does his brothers.

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

LOL no. ruki cuddles are extremely rare. 

there are a few things that might lead to a cuddle. first, i would probably say something bad happened and either his s/o or, though very unlikely, ruki needs comforting. 

also, another thing that might sound hard to believe is that cuddles are more likely to be initiated by his s/o rather than himself. honestly you just have to test the waters to see if you’re allowed to or not.

similarly to the affection bit, you need to be worthy of it. sure, if you beg him enough he might. it’s just simply not for him. 

physical affection is great, as is physical intimacy, it’s just.. he’s not a cuddler. 

in the rare moments in which cuddles do happen, you better savor it. seriously.

he’s letting his guard down, despite 99% likely being the big spoon, and you get to witness him be vulnerable and free of worry for a bit. don’t get too comfortable with it though.

also, i feel like if anything, he’s more likely to cuddle while he’s asleep. he’s a light sleeper, so he’d realize like ‘oh oops’ but maybe,,,, just maybe if he likes you enough, he’ll pretend to be asleep still. especially if you’re still sleeping.

if you awaken because of him subconsciously cuddling up to you, he’ll notice if you don’t make it known. 

vampire senses, you know?? he just knows.

if that’s the case, .. you’re in for a night. i know this is the fluff alphabet, so i’m keeping it fluffy, but,, he’s gotta distract you somehow.  

D = Domestic (Do they want to settle down? How are they around the house?)

so, ruki is pretty domestic with his bros. we know this. he’s very content with this, and i don’t think he’d have things any other way.

if you’re his s/o, you’re living with him, and that’s final. he doesn’t beat around the bush- you’re his livestock now, there’s no need for you to stay anywhere else.

in terms of settling down, however, i guess that depends? 

it really isn’t something he’s ever fantasized about, or even shown interest in. ever. i think, even after he’s in a relationship with his s/o, he doesn’t like to entertain the idea of moving out and like.. idk, having kids, getting married ect. 

i almost want to say ruki fears change, in fact, i think none of the mukami’s would be fond of changes, naturally. if a major change such as someone were to move out, it’d have to be introduced slowly, you know?

also, his brother’s would need to be at an arm’s length, if he were to settle down and move away.

by settling down, if you are referring to children, he wouldn’t rush it. if he is to have a child, fine. if not, fine. he’s neutral. 

if his s/o wants to have children, they’ll have to take a lot of things into consideration. 

in all honesty, as much as ruki loves his brothers, i think if ruki had a child, it’d be time to move on to another home. probably.?

so settling down can happen, but he’s not in a rush for it or anything. he’s content with his current life, and he’ll take whatever comes to him.

E = Ending (If they had to break up with their partner, how would they do it?)

oh boy.

this, on the other hand, has unfortunately been thought of more than once for ruki. is it anything against his s/o? no. it’s literally all him and his own personal issues.

as we know, he’s got major trust issues. it’s almost always never his s/o’s fault- they’ve done nothing wrong, it’s just that ruki knows he’s catching/caught feelings and doesn’t want to accept it.

so, um, yeah. 

despite all of that! it’s not very likely, at all. even though he entertains the idea, it’s just.. not going to happen. 

ruki, like the rest of the diaboys, has some yandere tendencies. with his entire view on your relationship being master/livestock, he’s not going to let you go easily. once ruki’s in any sort of relationship with you, he’s keeping you. for good. the only way out is by his own hands, at that point. 

anyways, putting that aside, it’d be very unlikely for ruki to actually break up with somebody, really. if he’s let you into his life, he’s going to have control over you, now. 

if, for whatever reason, he absolutely had to separate from his s/o, it definitely wouldn’t be the last time they see him. does he have better things to do? yes. but, this won’t stop him from inserting himself in their life.

in fact, again, if a breakup were to happen, he’d make sure you’d never forget about him, one way or another.

F = Fiance(e) (How do they feel about commitment? How quick would they want to get married?)

this goes hand in hand with the domestic one, as he is content with his life, he would say.

though, that’s not to say marriage isn’t in the cards for him because it definitely is! is it something he daydreams about? not at all, but once ruki has truly accepted the fact that he is in love with his s/o, he’d be okay with the idea of marriage.

at that point in his life, marriage is a good thing. a ceremonial practice that is proof of the love he and his partner share. if you were to ask him before developing such a relationship with his s/o? he’d be indifferent to marriage, maybe even seeing it as a stupid contract, if anything.

again, once he’s accepted his feelings, i think he’d be eager to plan out a proposal.

except, before that, he’d have to make sure his s/o would actually be.. like.. okay with a proposal. the idea of his s/o refusing sounds impossible to him, and he’d rather keep it that way- then again, if he thinks his s/o wouldn’t want to commit in that way, they probably wouldn’t be his s/o-he’d get rid of them if that were the case because any sign of commitment issues are a no-no. 

after ruki is engaged to his s/o, he’s not in a rush but he’s also not delaying anything, either. he wants the day to be perfectly planned and suitable for both himself and his partner, so he’s willing to take as much time as needed.

G = Gentle (How gentle are they, both physically and emotionally?)

ok yeah lol i’m starting to realize this is not the alphabet for ruki. dsjfhsd

he can be gentle. it’s rare, and especially depends on the relationship and how much he trusts his s/o. 

ruki isn’t one to fabricate things. he will be gentle if he sees it necessary, and again, if you are worthy of it.

i think ruki is more likely to be gentle in a physical manner as opposed to emotionally. perhaps ruki has noticed he’s been too rough with his livestock, and i repeat, if you’re deserving of it, he’ll make it up to you. 

i can see this happening after especially rough nights, or like i said earlier as well, perhaps if something .. eventful has happened? and not in a good way. i mean like.. emotionally eventful. like, karl dying or something. idk

in a situation like that, where something negative has impacted him (or his s/o), he’d be more likely to let down his walls and share a moment with his s/o.

he enjoys holding his s/o’s hand, and just like.. cupping their cheeks with his hand. small physical representations of gentleness, i guess. like ruki himself, it’s a bit subtle.

H = Hugs (Do they like hugs? What are their hugs like?)

not really a hugger but if you beg hard enough.. he’ll consider it.

on a more serious note, he’s not a big hugger. physical touch isn’t his preferred way of showing affection. however, he doesn’t think hugs are awful. 

because ruki hugs are so rare, it’s very enjoyable. despite the fact that he is a vampire, who’s body runs cold, the embrace would be warm and dare i say full of affection. intentionally? idk, maybe not, but the fact that ruki is hugging you should kind of reveal to you that this is a privilege, one that ruki wants you to appreciate, even if he won’t admit it.

again, because hugs from this vampire don’t happen often, he sometimes likes to surprise his s/o with a hug, just to see their reaction. this will happen probably later on into their relationship because as with all the diaboys, these relationships take time. a lot of it. to be with any of the diaboys, patience is a must.

I = I love you (How fast do they say the L-word?)

hmm... well, i imagine he’d try to avoid saying it for as long as he can. his view on love is not like some ordinary humans’. i don’t want to say he wouldn’t believe in love, but.. 

um.

anyways, he believes that the chances of people having actual truthful, loving relationships, aren’t very high. this applies to himself as well, considering one, he doesn’t trust easily, two, he has no reason for love, and three, he doesn’t want to fall in love. hence why, especially in the early stages of his relationship/s, he is adamant about the relationship he is in with you- he is your master, you are his livestock.

when he is ensuring this nature of the relationship, it’s a reminder to himself that he can’t fall in love. 

so, if ruki were to fall in love with some one, it’d take him a long time to admit it. 

i honestly think he’d prefer for his s/o to say it first, as well. i’m not entirely sure if he’d believe his s/o when they say that, because words mean little to ruki. which could be another reason why he’s so.. hesitant to drop the l-bomb, aside from the fact that he dreads to hear the words leave his mouth. ever.

he is as untrusting as he is stubborn. it’s partially a pride thing, too, i suppose.

when ruki does say it, though, it’s kind of ironic because he will play it off coolly, as he usually does, and act as if it wasn’t a big deal. which i mean, to him, it wasn’t saying the words, or even the meaning behind it, but rather just .. coming to accept it.

in the very rare event when he says it unintentionally, you’re in for a punishment. he has to distract you, after all. might even try to convince you that you were dreaming, lol

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

ruki is an extremely jealous man, he just knows how to hide it. 

also, i guess this depends too whether or not you consider jealousy to be the same thing as possessiveness, because ruki is technically more possessive than jealous.

in all honesty, i think ruki knows better not to be jealous and knows for a fact, that his s/o knows more than anyone else to not even think of getting too close with anyone else.

that being said, we know how ruki reacts to his livestock, his prey being drank from. again, whether you consider this jealousy or him staking his claim on his s/o, that’s up to you.

when ruki feels this way, of course, he must show everyone their places. if someone is getting to friendly with his livestock, he’ll make it known that they’re out of line.

there’s multiple ways he could go about doing that: verbally threatening them, or giving them a warning, 

or! showing some good ol pda. 

the latter will be especially more likely to happen if he’s really feeling uncomfortable with whoever it is that is interacting with his s/o.

it’s one thing for him to witness you talking with someone- he’ll watch, to make sure you stay in place, but if the person starts getting within a foot of your distance, he’ll swoop in and steal you away, putting on a show.

it’s definitely different compared to what you’d be used to. ruki can be a passionate lover, but pda isn’t something he takes part in often.

i also think it depends on who is coming onto you. if it’s some mere human, whatever. not a big deal, he’ll just come in, pull you close to him and wrap his arm around your waist.

if it’s someone like a fellow vampire, he gets a bit more.. passionate. i wouldn’t doubt him to be bold enough to pull you into a deep kiss, showing who you belong to.

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

ah, speaking of kisses!

,,,ruki kisses.. 😩 BAHAHA thinking about it makes me melt

he has a lot of different meanings behind his kisses, if that makes sense.

there’s the one where it’s just a delicate little kiss, possibly to tease you, or possibly just for show

i can imagine ruki teasing his s/o by giving them the smallest, lamest kisses just to hear them beg, or maybe even pout, lol. he’d get such a kick out of it.

there’s also the kisses where he’s just caught up in a moment of passion, or is perhaps just overcome by his urges. those types will escalate, for sure.

then, there’s the kiss that is just.. straight up full of love. really puts his heart into it, somehow.  

a lot of it depends on the context, but again.. ruki kisses,,,,, 🥴

another thing he sometimes likes to do is like.. kiss you before he basically impales you. or after biting you. or both.

not necessarily about kisses but he loves catching his s/o off guard. hence why he enjoys kissing you softly, leaving you to anticipate his bite.

he’ll kiss his s/o anywhere, he’s not picky, but, as i mentioned, sometimes chaste forehead kisses are fun, just to get a rise out of you

i think, other than the lips, one of his favorite spots to kiss his s/o would be on their neck. or, more specifically, the nape of the neck. he feels as if it leaves his s/o in such a vulnerable position and i mean.. it’d hurt pretty bad to get bitten there so, woo~ anticipation~

in terms of where ruki would like to be kissed.. let me tell you a secret. i think he’d really enjoy being kissed, a lot more than he’d let on. he doesn’t appreciate his own fondness for it, but..~

i think ruki’s favorite type of kisses from his s/o is the needy, heated type of kiss. one of his favorite things about his s/o is the fact that he knows he’s got the upper hand over them, if that makes sense? so if physical pleasure is one way to keep his livestock under his finger, then so be it. it’s not like he doesn’t enjoy it, either.

kiss him desperately, he’ll melt a bit. he’s a master at playing things off, so you wont notice it, but internally.. it riles him up quite a bit.

other than that, any other kisses are fine. and because it’s ruki, i almost want to bring up the idea of kissing his scars, but you’d need trust level 1 million for that, honestly. 

oh, and JFDHFDS sorry i can’t keep things super fluffy apparently but if you ever get the chance, kiss ruki’s neck. that’s all i’m saying. or his collarbone, or something. just do it. you won’t regret it.

L = Little ones (How are they around children?)

i like to think that all of the mukami’s have a soft spot for children, ruki included.

is he more gentle towards children, yes, but he thinks it’s important for children to know the realities of life. he won’t act any different towards children, but he is a bit more approachable towards them.

like, he does like kids, and i think he would like to have his own, or care for a child at some point in time. ruki truly believes he could raise someone who could grow up to be a very successful person, and he’d take honor in knowing that. and it’d just be one more thing to boost his ego,,

for children in general, ruki treats them all the same. he’s definitely got a big brother type of attitude, but he’s got enough strictness that like.. a mother would. or a father, idk parents vary ok lol

yeah there’s not much to say other than he’s not mean to children, and is in fact rather friendly, it just, i guess depends on the child?

the childlike innocence is admirable, but the dark part of him (or realist, honestly) would rather have them know like.. life isn’t all that great. but, if it’s not his kid, why should he try to parent them??

anyways yeah kids are cool. like, if there’s a kid who needs help or anything and is completely just. lost at a mall or something, i can see him like.. helping the kid get back to their parents. he’d do that.

M = Morning (How are mornings spent with them?)

despite being a vampire, ruki is an early bird. unless you wake up very early as well, ruki typically is out of bed before his s/o and is already up and running, making breakfast, most likely.

honestly, i can’t really picture him sleeping in at all, for some reason. i mean, it’d probably happen, rarely, because ??how can you avoid that yknow

maybe after a night full of nightmares and being up and out of bed every hour, sure, he might sleep in.

there might be some spontaneous moves from him, too. i can picture ruki sometimes, if he’s in a particularly good mood, will wake his s/o up gently, maybe waking them up with a little nibble to their ear or something lol

it also might not be surprising for him to wake his s/o up to eat so their food doesn’t get cold, but i think that depends on who he’s in a relationship with.

or!!! maybe if he’s feeling a bit mischievous or something,, especially if he knows his s/o’s not a morning person,, he might wake his s/o up just for fun, lol

or maybe he wakes his s/o up for a drink,, or maybe it’s to get up and be his sweet little sous chef for the morning

N = Night (How are nights spent with them?)

keeping this apart of the fluff alphabet,, nights with ruki either go one way or another- quiet and just. straight to bed, or the literal opposite.

often times, he likes to drink from his prey before going to sleep because there’s nothing better than going to bed on a full stomach, right? ruki thinks so, at least.

i would say ruki goes to sleep at a relatively normal time, giving himself enough free time after dinner and then idk, time for bed i guess.

as his livestock, his prey, as well as his s/o, he would prefer to sleep with you. the only times he wont is if he’s having a rough night, perhaps with thoughts from his past that keep reoccurring to him, or something like that. maybe he’d be having one of his moments where he just wants to push people away, something like that.

but yeah, typically nights are very quiet with him. if he’s intent on sleeping, let him sleep. he’s not going to try anything unless he’s having troubles falling asleep. 

O = Open (When would they start revealing things about themselves? Do they say everything all at once or wait a while to reveal things slowly?)

one of the things ruki despises the most is pity. show any pity towards him and you’ll be in your grave. or, headed there. he can be nice enough to give a warning.

this probably doesn’t come to a surprise, but ruki will hold off on telling anyone about his past for as much as he can, and there are multiple reasons for this.

one, why would his past be anyone else but his business?

two, the past is the past. ruki is who ruki is, and his past has nothing to do with anything.

to which i say, yes it kinda does bro but i’ll keep my mouth shut ♥ 

so yeah, if his s/o is curious about it, give him time. he won’t give you all the details but he’ll tell you everything to sate your curiosity. but, he won’t be giving all this information for free, either, so you better make sure you know what you’re in for.

in the meantime, don’t even dare to try and figure things out about his past. ruki likes to believe he’s in control of what you do and don’t know, and if it involves his history, you will know of it when he wants you to. 

otherwise, there’s no reason for you to know. 

honestly, i think he’d be more open about his past at the orphanage rather than everything that happened before the orphanage. the only details you’d get would be shitty mom, shitty father, and, humble ruki admitting he was an aristocratic brat. 

P = Patience (How easily angered are they?)

it can take a lot to really upset ruki. and i mean a lot.

for trivial things like petty arguments, he’s used to it. or, maybe his livestock wants to act up? he can deal with that. 

while ruki is a very patient man, there are few things that can really set him off. 

i think, the biggest two, would be when he actually feels like there’s a threat near, meaning either he feels threatened by someone or feels as if they are going to harm his brothers, if that makes sense?

and then, his past. it’s a sensitive subject for him, we know. treading around this topic in general with ruki is very dangerous because he can get set off by what might seem like the tiniest things, but this isn’t exactly the case.

ruki is just really good at holding in his emotions and it’s rare to truly see him upset, and when he is upset, he takes it out on others. not his brothers, but most likely to the one who angered him in the first place. 

with ruki, you don’t really have to worry about pissing him off unless you’re intentionally doing it. and if you are, he’ll make you regret it, if he hasn’t kill you already. as i’ve said, sometimes he’s nice enough to just give warnings.

Q = Quizzes (How much would they remember about you? Do they remember every little detail you mention in passing, or do they kind of forget everything?)

ruki will know you better than you know yourself. hell, he might even know you more than he knows himself. he’s got outstanding memory, as to be expected of someone like him.

and, ruki, with his possessive and sometimes yandere tendencies, yes, of course he should know you very personally.

a lot of the information it’s like?? okay ruki how did you find this out?? that’s a secret. and, frankly, not one you need to worry about. what, do you think ruki will use it against you? either way, it doesn’t matter. you’re his. he’ll do what he pleases.

he’s very good at remembering details, and is even better at remembering how to react and respond to specific things.

he takes a lot of it to mind, and usually will use it to his advantage in some way. for example, if he catches you staring at, say, something in the window while walking down a street with him, he’ll pick up on it, and he’ll definitely remember it. 

it’s one of his many benefits for being so observant. and he’s like this with everyone, honestly. he likes to be able to remember what triggers certain people and how certain people respond to various things. in this case, i am definitely referring to the sakamaki’s.

anyways, this can be sweet for his s/o because oh, nice, ruki remembers that i don’t really care for this, or ruki noticed that i have a preference for this color and blah blah blah. it shows, especially when ruki is rewarding you in some sort of way.

however, this is also terrible for his s/o because he also can figure out quickly exactly what you dislike. and, being the sadist he is, he has not much of an issue with this. for example, say you’ve got a pretty big fear of like.. something. anything. ruki can and will use this against you. he also remembers things like where you’re most sensitive, where you hurt the most, ect.

R = Remember (What is their favorite moment in your relationship?)

ruki’s favorite moments in a relationship would probably be... hmmmm

probably the little things. the little sweet moments where you’re all together, like you, him and the rest of his brothers. he values his brothers a lot, obviously, so to see those two things combine, it’s a good feeling. 

other than that, again, little things. it could be just something like the two of you sharing a quiet morning, sitting down and eating breakfast with each other, something like that. 

also, ruki really loves to teach. professor!ruki moment?? JFDhds as his s/o, though, he’s going to teach you a lot of things. both intentionally and unintentionally. like, as i mentioned earlier, if you don’t know how to cook, he’s going to teach you. 

i can also picture him teaching his s/o to ballroom dance, because that’s . .a common trope. but one i can definitely picture ruki doing and enjoying.

idk really when i say he likes spending time with his s/o, i mean it. it doesn’t matter what they’re doing, he just likes being there with them and he’ll treasure it, for sure.

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

super protective, if that wasn’t obvious.

and while earlier on in the relationship, this might be true- he doesn’t actually care what happens to you, but.. he does. he covers it up though by saying he’s only protective of you because that’s the responsibility he should have, being your master.

that’s really all i can say, honestly. it’s a lie, especially later on as he starts to actually care for his livestock

it’d honestly be very reassuring, though, because as long as you are under ruki’s care, he will protect you with his life. because ‘that’s what a good master does’.

cough cough, ok ruki.

the only one who can harm you is himself. though, it won’t be too bad as long as you follow his rules.

once again, i would like to point out how loyal ruki is, and it definitely applies to how he would protect his loved ones. including his s/o. he will protect with everything he’s got, and will do as much as he can to prevent you from getting in harm’s way that isn’t coming from him.

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

regarding everyday tasks, it’d be just as much as he usually does? in the mukami household, while he does cook for everyone else, each brother is to do their own respective cleaning. if a mess is made, that brother is to clean it up. ruki, being a great big bro probably does do some other things for his brothers such as laundry, but other than that and cooking, idk.

anyways, this would all apply to his s/o as well. while ruki does do a lot, his s/o must put in effort for something,, at least as much as his brothers do. he doesn’t want to be in a relationship with someone with the same amount of energy as the eldest sakamaki.

in regards to like.. dates and stuff, they happen. frequently, actually. and, of course, the three words i’ve said so many times throughout this entire alphabet- if his s/o deserves it. this is just something ruki lives by, okay?

ruki will schedule dates with his s/o often, at least once a month if they’ve been good. sometimes they’re a bit fancy, sometimes they’re not. the idea behind the dates itself is the fact that it’s something he’s actually planned out- other than that, he’ll sometimes invite you to join him somewhere just for the fun of it. 

gifts are never super extravagant- not because he can’t afford it, he can, but simply because he doesn’t prefer it? he prefers giving his s/o gifts that have more meaning behind it, if that makes sense.

sometimes he also gives gifts for his own pleasure, too. for example, i wouldn’t doubt that ruki has once gifted his s/o like.. a collar, or something. 

actually, ruki doesn’t mind giving gifts to his s/o because he enjoys the fact that everything he gives to his s/o is a reminder of who she belongs to. 

while this wouldn’t be a requirement for ruki, i think he’d be pleasantly surprised if his s/o did anything like giving him gifts or inviting him out on a date. he’d enjoy it, literally only because of the effort and thought his s/o put into it. it makes him feel good, you know?

U = Ugly (What would be some bad habits of theirs?)

wellllll,l,, um. this should be obvious. HAHA i almost feel bad for wanting to list all the bad things about ruki because i have a lot to list.

i mean,,, apart from he being a bit of an egomaniac (sure, it’s arguable bc he doesn’t act like ayato, but still), he’s lowkey a bully (but obviously we’re into that bc this is dl) um. he’s a bit insane. but anyways JHJHSD sorry ruki 🙏

pushing aside all of the obvious traits and habits of ruki’s,,,

sometimes he can get caught up with himself and his own duties. such as? tbh i have no idea sfsddf only thing i can think of is if karlheinz is still alive, he is still dedicated to karl. though,, after the adam & eve thing it gets kinda complicated but whatever. he’s always at karl’s beck and call.

um.... uhhhh 

idk honestly he’s a pretty decent guy if you ignore how unstable he is. i guess another bad habit of his would be how unpredictable he is?? 

also, i’d like to point out as well that ruki doesn’t think of any of these of bad habits and i think that may be why i’m struggling a bit, other than the fact that in the games, ruki shows us the ugliest sides of him so it’s like.. ok

umm overly possessive?

weird s&m dynamic but again, this is dl.

has some yandere-like tendencies but, surprise, this is dl. we’re into that i guess

idk honestly lol i have so many 😤 bad things to say about this dude but i wont

V = Vanity (How concerned are they with their looks?)

he’s not like kou. he’s not going to cry if he’s having a bad hair day or anything. BUT. tell me if you can even imagine ruki looking slightly.. idk.. messy.

because i can’t. i’d like to, but the only time i think you’d catch him disheveled is after,,,, certain events.

i don’t want to say he’s obsessed with his appearance, but he does care. not only will it hurt his pride if he doesn’t look presentable, he likes to come off as a put together guy. 

that’s honestly it, really. he’s not going to fuss about anything but he wants himself to look good at all times.

W = Whole (Would they feel incomplete without you?)

hm... this one’s tough. it definitely depends on who he’s in a relationship with, and how.. close the relationship is. 

and honestly writing this feels like i’m exposing him HFDSHH this would be a super personal question for ruki. because, you guessed it, his pride, his trust issues, and just ,,,, a whole lot of problems-

and, of course, he wouldn’t admit this, or at least want to, and probably only would in a life or death situation ,, im exaggerating a bit but like he would too ok??

now, to say whether he’d feel ‘incomplete’ without his s/o.. well, that sounds.. dramatic. in my opinion and probably ruki’s opinion, too-

i actually think.. ‘empty’ would probably be a better word?

then again, it depends. if you’re his s/o and have been with him for a while and if he’s truly bonded with his partner, then yeah.

while livestock can be replaced, ruki, unfortunately for him, does grow particular fondness towards them. i mean, even if he looks at his livestock as simply nothing but a meal, humans are different from one another, always.

anyways, i guess what i can say is that ruki.. probably wouldn’t go straight back to his usual self, without his s/o? there’d be a sort of loneliness type of vibe just.. surrounding him. the only way he’ll feel that way though is if his s/o’s dead, however. goes missing? he’ll search forever, mark his words. it’s honestly almost.. endearing how much he’d to just to keep his hands on you.

X - Xtra (Random HC)

since ruki has been in a relationship with his s/o, you might notice that he’s been more open to trying new things. the thing is, he makes you do it with him, whether that be like.. idk a pottery class, or maybe like. picnics lol. since he’s been in a relationship with you (even if it’s not like.. a relationship-relationship if you get me), he’s felt a little more adventurous and eager to try things out with his partner. also just thought of like.. ice skating, too, so that’s cute.

hm,,.. here, i’ll steal one based on my sims gameplay with the mukamis: he enjoys cross-stitching.

speaking of sims, i think, for whatever reason, ruki would have a knack for interior design. is also super talented with writing, he’d have a really macabre type of writing style.

kou once painted ruki’s nails black and he had the hardest time getting it off. why would ruki allow that? well, first, he’s gotta keep up that 😎 epic cool big bro status, and also kou probably practically begged him. his excuse would be “to see what the color looks like”. while this may have been true, ruki knows that kou could do it to himself, but honestly it wasn’t a big deal. it was a nice bonding time, ruki loves his brothers and i love that for them. i can picture him wearing gloves for a few days until finally getting them off- and what’s even better is that he refused to ask kou for help.

also wow when this said random i really am just like. throwing out headcanons, so here’s some more.

as a child, ruki was definitely one of those kids who were anti vegetables. it is, most likely a trait he will pass onto his own, lol.

another thing kou has made ruki do is playing video games. aand join social media. if he did have a public account, i can picture him also having a private one that he actually uses. he’s not a social media addict, and in fact, he rarely uses it but.. on occasion. has probably gotten karl hooked on twitter or something JSDFSH oh, and the video game thing; yeah no.

except.. he hates to admit it but smartphones really are a beautiful thing. i wish i could say he plays candy crush in his spare time, but no. too easy for him, and also he’d be way too annoyed by it.

Z = Zzz (What is a sleep habit of theirs?)

a lot of the times before ruki actually falls asleep, he might sit up and read for a bit, or maybe have a warm drink. and, as his s/o, who, whether you wanted to or not, have been turned into his new bed warmer, ssdfjhsdfs

also, we know ruki has nightmares. as his s/o, if you weren’t aware already, he has nightmares. and, like a normal person, he doesn’t love them.

if you are with him after he wakes from a nightmare, he’ll either want to take his mind off of it somehow, or, want comfort. will he admit that? hell no. BIG NO. pity is one of the things he hates the most, even if it’s unintentional.

if you wake up from it, which i mean.. you might if you’re a light sleeper, but ruki during his nightmares isn’t like.. screaming or anything. you’ll hear some noises, and see his face clench up sometimes, and he’ll be shifting around more than usual as well, so.. if those wake you up, sorry but like. ruki doesn’t care. be grateful that he even allowed you to witness that, even though like. .it wasn’t intentional, but whatever. ruki logic.

yeah um if you do wake up for it, he’ll know. and he’ll then use you as a way to shift his thoughts away from his dream.

if you’re not awake and remain sound asleep, it kind of depends.. he might get up, he might just lay there, or maybe he’ll wake you up, maybe with gentle, teasing touches.

[asamitakamybeloved]

I think Asa might be my favorite CSM character now.

I hope her and Denji wind up together. Or at least eventually are upfront to each other about their feelings.

That said... idk how I'm here wishing for a happy ending considering how part 1 ended lol

Anon, I'm terribly sorry I'm so late to respond to this. I wanted to put some thought into it before replying. You are the very first ask I've ever gotten!!!

They both fill me with sooo much emotion. Denji, who's sweet and corny and thoughtful, and Asa, who's sensitive and lonely and full of dread... they complement each other so well. Even if they don't end up together, I absolutely love their character interactions and the potential they have to fulfill each other's needs.

If it's any consolation, and I certainly hope it is, I have a lot of confidence in Fujimoto's commitment to True Love (in all senses: romantic, familial, platonic). Before he was an action/shounen writer, Fujimoto wrote romances. You see vestiges of this in one of his latest one-shots, Goodbye Eri, but it really comes out in full force in his earlier works like Shikaku and Woke Up as a Girl Disease. Those works not only featured love as a central theme, but also ended with the two leads mutually expressing their love and ending up with strange happily-ever-afters in the midst of the classic Fujimoto insanity that forms the premises of those stories.

[Fire Punch spoiler ahead] Even Fire Punch, for all its misery, ended with the two leads reuniting. The love between those characters is complicated, with the protagonist's affection for the love interest initially being a bastardized version of his grief and obsession with his sister, only later becoming a real passion for the woman that she developed into over the course of chastely living with him. Their moment as a couple is short-lived, but they eventually find each other again long after they had both forgotten one another. However, despite all they had forgotten about their pasts, the girl remembers the love that she had, even if she couldn't remember who it was for or why. The protagonist gets to forget the hardships and sorrow that drove him to madness and finally gets to quite literally rest in peace in the presence of someone who loves him unconditionally.

This is all to say, I think it's worth being patient and optimistic for the fate of these two. Fujimoto is extremely thoughtful and deliberate when it comes to writing emotional and heartfelt stories, and he himself admitted that Part 2 would take on a different tone from Part 1. I think all signs point to Denji and Asa eventually finding the person behind the devil and achieving some kind of deep, unassailable connection. I'm hoping for a romance angle, but honestly Fujimoto has never disappointed me with his plot twists and nuanced depictions of relationships.

tl;dr: Fujimoto has written happy endings and romances that withstood the wild curveballs he's thrown at them in the past, so I think a happily ever after between Denji and Asa is still within the realm of possibility. <3

For now the Engage fandom is safe but I fear the moment we are gonna get the moment where people will fight over ships again. First we had Awakening where people who don't understand how time travel works were bugged up by the fact that Robin can marry the 2nd gen because "they are still babies !" since they apparently never learn what multiverse means nor watched many time travel media, or marrying Nowi or Ricken when you had the loli and shota models to do the trick. Same thing for Fates, people fighting over Kamui/Corrin x the Royals despite the fact that Leo is almost the only character Corrin had actual chemsitry with in the support conversation, still were not ok with the 2nd generation and marrying Hayato. Then 3 houses had a whole debate on whether Byleth can marry their ex-students or not, if marryin Rhea was incest or not because people don't understand how organ transplantation works, and so on. Now we escape the Anna and Jean controversy despite the fact that even in the japanses version you don't marry them because it's too soon and theu just stay friend (the exact same thing that Azura said to Hayato in their S support) but since Alear is still physically 17 and can only marry people who are elder than them, I am sure we are gonna have some problem here.

That's the thing I was wondering a bit about too, since Engage (at least from my experience) is surprisingly... chaste? Like, there's definitely material to work with, don't get me wrong, but after the S supports of the 3DS games and a good deal of the A ranks in 3H, the characters are decidedly more friendly than possibly intimate. Aside from Alear of course, cuz everyone wants a ride lol. But that's most likely because IS saw people liking the S supports and probably thought "oh it's cuz people like having digital wives" and made it avatar only.

But train of thought aside, discourse is inevitable cuz people will get mad that the "wrong" ships are being shipped and blah blah blah. Though I don't forsee it getting as bad as the 3H shipping discourse cuz man I still see people giving others the side eye for Dimidue ugh

OC Name meanings

tagged by @randomstupidchaos

okay, so I think we all know that I primarily write a bunch of fanfic. so a lot of my characters come pre-built with names. there are several that I came up with myself, but if I only listed those names, it wouldn't even look like my book anymore, so I'm gonna define all of them anyway. (except for Malroth. I have little idea what his name means or where it comes from. it's not even his name from his starting language. who knows!)

that said I do have ONE original story (I have not worked on it in so long agh) and I will do that one at the end.

Builderverse

Crea- short for Create. stole it from the tutorial lmao.

Aris- short for Arisplotle. who is a slime. dragon quest has a thing about slimes having pun names, you know? (granted in maskverse I named him Aristaeus, which he hates, and it means some variation of "best" because he's the best boy.)

of note, in Maskverse specifically, "Malroth" is a nickname he made up for himself that he could use while in hiding as the prince so no one could sus him out. his first name is Troy. this is because his mom is Hellen and I thought it would be funny. Hellen of Troy from illiad fame is now Troy of Hellen in my story. (it's really not that funny, is it?) (yes this is basically the sole reason I made Hellen from the game his mom for the sake of the story. good times!)

of the main builders cast I'm mostly interested in Rosie (self-explanatory since she's a gardener), Babs (comes from Barbara which means stranger), and Anessa. From the (weirdly few) posts I can find about this name, Anessa is short for Agnessa, which is another form of Anges. in Greek, Agnes is pure/holy/chaste/satisfaction (everyone gives a different one lol), which I find interesting given her role in the story.

of other interesting note, Warwick can mean from the settlement by the weir (which I guess is a dam), but it also can mean "strong leader who defends". personally I think they went with his name because "war" is in it and hi that's what his island is known for.

Ludovic itself means Famous war/battle, but I chose it because the Spanish version of builders named Warwick "Ludovico" and I needed another antagonist.

Damara is Greek for "gentle" which makes sense cos she was created to be a mentor character. ended up later adopting Malroth but she lended well to it XD

Griswold- english was grey forest or grey land, french it was a ruler with grey hair (which is kinda weird because in game he is VERY bright blue). that said, I think they picked it because it kinda sounds like gristle, which is related to bone, which he is a skeleton.

Floria- flower. just thought it's fun to have a hypercompetent soldier be named Flower because her parents wanted her to be a nice proper lady. (she said fuck that.)

that's all that's coming to mind on that.

Sirens

Patrick- nobleman (english)

Jonathan- God has given (hebrew)

Scotia- person from Scotland (english) (she's not Scottish tho I just liked how it sounded)

Troy- footsoldier (greek) (don't ask me how I got two of these)

Easton- from the east (he arrives to the story from far away)

Brinda- from the basil plant (india) (again I liked the sound)

Kurt- courteous (american) (it's funny because he's overtly sarcastic with everyone but Brinda and then he turns into a teddy bear. only Patrick ever sees it tbh)

Felice- fortunate/happy (latin)

Tahlia- morning dew (hebrew). also because my dad always joked about naming me Talitha so I played with the letters.

Sera- shortened from Saraphim, which is an angel (something latin related)

I have other characters that only appear in book 2, but given I haven't touched that story since 2014-2016, I don't think it's going anywhere enough to bother listing here.

[bailey-reaper]

could you do a version of the birds n the bees thing where barok is engaged and his wedding is coming up, so klint figures it's a good time to traumatize him yknow? ik it's pretty similar to the previous one so please ignore this if you want. I feel so rude lol

The Talk ™ (Alt. edition)

Notes: (original here) No need to feel rude at all, anon! Seeing Barok all flustered over 'the talk' is never not funny! I think teasing him should be a national sport of all nations and we can come together over how cute Barok is when he's flustered / irked!

S/O is gender neutral (they/them pronouns). Barok refers to them using petnames.

Content Warnings: the talk™; embarrassment; wishing for divine intervention; why won’t the ground open up?; redder than Klint’s formal jacket…; no birds / bees were harmed; Barok might have taken psychic damage yet again (but he’s still ok)

"Not long until the big day, huh?" Klint said as he sat with his brother in the sitting room of their North Devon estate, enjoying a peaceful evening in front of the fireplace with a bottle of wine (for Barok) and some whiskey (for Klint).

"... Not long at all," Barok replied, looking at the brooding claret in his glass, "I can't believe how quickly the time has flown since we announced our engagement," feelings of nervousness and excitement collided in the pit of his stomach as he thought of how imminent the big day was –– of course, more than anything, he was delighted that they'd said yes and he had this event to look forward to.

"My my," Klint chuckled to himself as he took a sip of whiskey, "My little brother, soon to be a married man... look at you, all grown up and ready to start a new chapter with the love of your life," he smiled softly, "I'm so pleased for you, Barok."

"Thank you, brother," he returned that smile, "It means the world to me that you'll be there as my best man."

"Well how could I not!" he said, "You were my best man after all, and a splendid job you did too! Thanks to you, I didn't feel anywhere near as nervous as I otherwise would have..."

"Really?" that came as a surprise, "Because you seemed terribly jittery to me."

"Then just imagine how much worse I'd have been without you there! It really was a wonderful day, though..." he lost himself in fond memories for a moment –– his beautiful wife, smiling at him; their vows; the rings; the wedding breakfast and the reception after; Barok's speech, which had almost brought him to visible tears...

"Yes, it was a most splendid day."

"And now it's your turn!" Klint patted his brother's shoulder, before picking up the wine bottle and topping his brother's glass up, "I'm sure it will be just as memorable and you'll look back upon as fondly as I recall my own wedding."

"I certainly hope so..." truth be told, Barok was worried that he'd fumble up the day in some way – do or say something wrong – but, his beloved had already assured him that none of that mattered to them. All that mattered was spending the rest of their lives together, and he had to concur with their logic. A wedding was an important ceremony among the upper class, but it was ultimately just a day and it was their day too. He would do his utmost to enjoy it.

"Mmmm," Klint set his glass down and stroked his chin thoughtfully, "That reminds me, there's a matter of importance regarding the day that I ought to speak to you about."

"Oh?" perhaps his big brother had some pearls of wisdom about the ceremony, like how to remember vows, or some suggested techniques for dealing with guests, "What important matter would that be, brother?"

"Well, I say day but... what I really mean is the night."

"The...?" he set his wine glass down and turned to face his brother, head tilted and a perplexed expression creasing his brow, "What...?"

"Come now, Barok, you and I both know that you've never... sown your wild oats, as they say. You've been a chaste, dutiful young man... this will be your first time, won't it? I feel it's my duty to inform you about such things that a young man needs to know when he's to spend his first time with his darling spouse."

". . . . . . . . . . . huh," Barok blinked, profusely, and stared at his brother with an expression that slowly moved from bemused to a dawning look of horror –Klint meant to have 'the talk' with him. He shook his head, "Oh... no no no, no, that won't be necessary brother."

Klint laughed as his brother's cheeks went from alabaster to an impressive shade of red, he'd expected this reaction and Barok hadn't let him down "What? Nonsense! Come now, we're both men and as such we can have such discussions! There are no young women around to be outraged and shocked beyond all sense of decency!"

"I... really.... um... well... that is to say... I'm not sure that such a conversation is entirely necessary.... let's just enjoy our drinks, brother...."

"Ah," Klint sighed, "You're such a shy young man... still, it's part of your charm I suppose. I'm confident that you'll feel better once we've broached the topic, and so –– I have no doubt that you're familiar with the peni––"

"KLINT, PLEASE!!!!"

…he’s not at all opposed to being caught under the sprig with you, tho there’s a good chance that he probably won’t notice it unless you or somebody else points it out.

Somewhere his brothers are making exaggerated kissing noises (and by ‘somewhere’ I mean literally right behind you).

Post’s title comes from this bop ((nobody look at me, I’m mentally regressing to a time before the shit show that is the 2020s lmao))

Another set of HCs, but this time around they’re even shorter lmao. Sorry about it folks, but my brain’s already checked out of this shitshow of a year if I’m being completely honest lol. But begardless of the length, I hope you all can still get a bit of enjoyment out of this!

Headcanon || WC: 400~

🌟 Tim’s p. neutral on mistletoe.

It’s not that he doesn’t like having an excuse to kiss you, of course, but rather that he just doesn’t need one lol.

Not to mention the fact that it can lead to some awkward, potentially annoying encounters.

((i.e. that time him and Dick got caught under it together which led to his big brother chasing him around the Manor demanding his kiss lmao))

🌟 But this level of confidence and comfort are things that comes in time.

If you’re at the beginning stages of your relationship he’s still kinda awkward about touching you, but I went over all of that back in Day Two’s installment.

The short version is, he’s not super big on PDA for the first bit of your relationship. He’s still settling into things, still trying to make that transition from friends to lovers, and figure out boundaries.

Though he knows that he loves to be close to you, he quickly finds that more overt displays of his desire make him kinda uncomfy when done in public. He doesn’t mind holding your hand/hugging you and the like, and he may even press a chaste kiss to your forehead or cheek from time to time (and also your hands/wrists because yes, pls, that’s so cute/sweet!!), anything beyond that is generally a no-go.

While he’s not as private a person as Dames, he still likes to keep his personal life out of the public’s eye—a hard feat, that, when he’s such a notable figure, and that’s saying nothing of the internet’s fascination with him.

((because you just know that the man is prime meme material; his socials are a gold mine for relatable quotes and pics, and that’s saying nothing of the candids that people frequently snap of him around town lol))

Notoriety isn’t really something that he can ever hope to escape—and unfortunately neither can you, if you’re gonna be with him—so the best he really can do is not give the paps too much fodder.

🌟 That said, he’s much looser about these things when he’s around his inner circle.

Now he’s not about to have a full blown makeout session in front of his family and friends, but he’s certainly a lot more cuddly and affectionate than he would ever dare to be in public.

And he’s not at all opposed to being caught under the sprig with you, tho there’s a good chance that he probably won’t notice it unless you or somebody else points it out.

Tho he may be a bit hesitant at first, when he wraps his arms around you and pulls you close that’ll all fade away the moment he presses his lips against yours in a sweet, lingering kiss.

🌟 Up Next: Day Ten || Holiday Party ((check back tomorrow!!))

[hazelhalfpint]

Hi Hazel! I’d love to see something for “I’ve been in love with you since we were kids.” for the fluff prompts🥰❤️

Ahh! Yes, I’m excited to do these!

Here is my take on an Inu/Kag version for this one 💜

Sorry it took a minute to reply! I was at work!

“I’ve been in love with you since we were kids.” Inu/Kag, fluff prompt. Also sorry if it’s a bit long lol I’m new to this stuff!

It was the hottest day of the summer yet, and the boardwalk was bustling with people and vendors alike. Little kids running through adults as they chased each other from vendor to vendor. Inuyasha pulled against the collar of his shirt nervously, his golden eyes searching for raven hair and blue eyes in the sea of people. He mentally chided himself for listening to Miroku’s advice on what to wear today. His normal tank top and shorts would of been much more comfortable than the stuffy polo he was currently wearing. She didn’t care what he looked like anyway. That’s one of the many things he loved about her.

15 years had passed since he’d met Kagome, and not a day had gone by that she didn’t find a new way to amaze him. She was the one person always in his corner, and today he wanted to show her just how much she meant to him. He wiped the sweat from his hands, and started down the boardwalk.

His golden eyes kept scanning the crowd of people for his girlfriend, recalling the first time they’d met, in this same place when his family first moved to California.

“Dog-boy! Dog-boy!” Three older boys and one older girl shouted at him as they circled the 7 year old hanyou, one of them bending over to poke at him with a stick.

“Ew!” the little girl shouted when his ears pinned back against his silver hair, “they move!” Inuyasha was growling now, though he was smaller, getting ready to pounce on one of the boys when a smaller voice from up above on the board walk caught his attention.

“Hey! Leave him alone!” A small rock hurled toward the group of bullies, thunking one of them on the forehead.

“Ouch! What the heck Kagome!”

“Toru, go home! I’m gonna tell your daddy that you’re picking on people again!” The girl was fuming, blue eyes shining with anger.

The nine year old boy, who Inuyasha now knew was named Toru, glared but gathered his friends anyway. As they stalked away, Kagome pushed past them rushing down the stairs to Inuyasha.

“Have fun playing with the dog-boy,” Toru called back to her. She growled this time, “Next time I’m gonna throw an even bigger rock at your big dumb head Toru.”

When she arrived in front of Inuyasha he was dusting himself free of sand,”You didn’t hafta do that.”

She cocked her head at him cutely, “Of course I did,” she disagreed smiling at him,”besides anyone who thinks you’re ears are gross is crazy. They’re cute!”

Inuyasha blushed at that, and she reached forward grabbing his hand, “come on, I’ve got two dollars for some ice-cream and you definitely need one!” She stopped when he didn’t immediately follow her, feeling the resistance against her hand on his.

“Oh, I’m sorry. My name is Kagome. You probably don’t wanna get ice-cream with a stranger, so there now were not strangers!” She smiled again and he did so as well, this time letting her pull him along.

“My name is Inuyasha.”

———

Finally he caught sight of her, steps bouncing lightly as she jogged toward him, arm high in the air waving him down. He grinned, swallowing back any nerves he may have. She was beautiful, radiating the energy of sunshine with waist length raven hair. How he got so lucky he wouldn’t even dare question. She was his.

“Hey!” She grinned at him, and he returned her smile, wrapping her in a hug.

“You looked so deep in thought I was beginning to think you wouldn’t notice me,” she teased, poking his cheek with a manicured nail.

“How could I not notice you? You’re so annoyingly cheerful, I’d hafta be dead to not notice you.” He teased back, and she pouted at him, bottom lip quivering in feigned sadness.

“ I thought you liked my cheerfulness.” Inuyasha laughed, lacing his hand with her own and tugging her along with him as they walked.

“Idk, sometimes you’re too cheerful” he wagered, jokingly and she whined.

“Inuyasha, you’re so mean.”

“Oh whatever,” he stopped in front of the ice cream vendor,bending forward to place a chaste kiss on her lips, “ you know I love your cheerfulness”

He purchased them two vanilla cones and they continued their route, leading them down the steps of the boardwalk into the sand.

She licked at her ice-cream, noticing they were moving further from the boardwalk, “Where are we going?”

Inuyasha swallowed nervously but shrugged,“ I just thought it’d be nice to take a walk.”

“Uh-huh,” Kagome eyed her boyfriend suspiciously, before they came to an abrupt stop her body barely bumping into his own. They were near the outer edge of the board walk in the sand.

“Do you recognize where we are?” He glanced down at her, as her eyes glanced around, widening in slight realization. When he realized she caught on, his smile and nervousness grew.

“This is where we met for the first time.”

“That’s right! That’s the day I threw that rock at Toru’s head. I still hate that guy.” Her eyes narrowed in annoyance and Inuyasha laughed loudly.

“You’ve always been so aggressive.”

“I am not aggressive; I just hate bullies!” She countered, huffing indignantly.

“It’s okay. I love you anyways.” Her glare softened as he pulled her into an embrace.

“ I love you too, Inuyasha.” She smiled, bumping her nose against his. He closed his eyes and inhaled her scent deeply, palming the small box in the pocket of his shorts.

“I’ve been in love with you since we were kids.” He spoke softly before opening his eyes to find her wide blue ones staring back,”Did you know that?” His heart was pounding wildly now, nearly vibrating in his ears as he spoke.

“Inuyasha,” his name came out a whisper, she was blushing at his affectionate statement, but he interrupted her next sentence with his own.

“Kagome, you’re the only person who has ever stood by my side fully from day one. You’re my person; my best friend. My heart hurts even thinking about you being away from me.” Her eyes widened and he pulled the box from his pocket, and knelt in front of her.

The sea air gently blowing their hair, his golden eyes were locked with her own, as he fumbled to pop open the suede black box. The ring was gorgeous, a rose gold band with a rose quartz gem adorning the center.

“Kagome Higurashi, I love you. I don’t ever want to know what a day in this life is like without you. Will you marry me?”

She cried, sinking to her knees as well and pulling his to her face to hers, holding it between both palms.

“ I wouldn’t ever want to marry anyone else. “ He grinned in relief and pulled her flush against him, placing a tender kiss to her lips.

“So that’s a definite yes?” He was grinning stupidly now the anxious feeling leaving him. She rolled her eyes in response.

“Yes you Baka! I’ll marry you. “ He pulled her to stand sliding the ring onto the appropriate finger and kissed her again.

“Thank you, Kagome. “

“ for what?” She asked, leaning her head against his chest. The gentle pace of his heart echoing in her ears.

“Just for being who you are.”

hi ! <3 I Absolutely luv your scenarios!:) Can I request for the pregnant s/o scenario with Midorima & Murasakibara ? :o Thank you :D

HELLO <333 wahhh tysm for reading, and i hope you’re still around lurking here to see this, my anon <33 also, i did write these in headcanon formats but please PLEASE let me know if you wanted scenarios and i’ll whip up scenarios :>

Pregnant S/O with Midorima, Murasakibara

Note: I am also writing this hc under the premise that the S/O has been dating with them for quite some time and is practically settled with them

Part 1 here

Midorima Shintarou

How He Found Out

i would believe for him to always, always use protection whenever he ends up having sex with you, and make sure you’re on birth control to prevent such an occurence

for a pregnancy to even happen, these conditions need to happen: 1.) he needs to be 100% sure that the two of you will be together for a very, VERY long time enough to not freak out about contraceptives or at least toy with the idea of not use any in the back of his mind and 2.) you somehow riled him up so much that he let it slide once/twice and go condom-free (whether you were on birth control or not that’s up to you, but he’d assume you were)

well, it turns out that during one of those rare moments of unprotected sex, you got pregnant, and now here you are with a positive stick in your hand squinting at it and scratching your head that you were either incredibly lucky or unlucky to get pregnant out of those few times you two went raw

how were you gonna tell him? well, he was a traditional man, so you simply set up a small, cute surprise for him when he gets back home

y’know, balloons in the living room and a little wrapped gift on the cleared table… it would send the message across… you think

hours passed and you were on the sofa twiddling your thumbs like a preschooler on timeout LOL and you didn’t want to go anywhere in case Midorima comes home early

your instincts were right because an hour later, he comes home utterly exhausted, immediately thinking about being roundabout in asking to snuggle with you

but then he freezes when his shoe stepped and POPPED one of the balloons you scattered around prior, and it scared him SHITLESS

he almost dropped his lucky claypot. almost.

“(y/n), what is going on?!”

he thinks it’s one of your antics and pranks as usual, and he immediately sighs exasperatedly at the thought of cleaning the mess up

“Seriously, I can never leave you alone in this house, nanodayo…” and as he shuffles through the floor, trying to avoid the rest of the clutter you caused, he notices you sitting primly on the couch (and giving him a poorly-concealed smile)

“Shintaro! I didn’t know you’d come home so soon~”

“Well, everyone was being annoying as usual, and most of the work has been done for today. I might as well come home to spend the rest of the day with you… obviously.”

you were so obvious, your eyes flitting back to the gift on the table and back to him, and Midorima doesn’t know whether to roll his eyes or laugh

“I’m assuming this is all for me,” he sighed, trying to hide his smile. “I don’t recall any special occasion for today, though.”

oh, your face just grew the biggest shit-eating grin at his words

“Is that so?~” you feigned with a sing-song voice

at your insistence on him opening the present right now, he swiftly pulls the ribbon apart and opens the box to see your positive test

MIDORIMA.EXE has stopped working

“W-W-W-What is that?!”

“A pregnancy test.”

“Whose?!”

“... Mine?”

“Wait, how?! With who??”

“Uh…” You stared at him incredulously. “You?”

MIDORIMA.EXE is failing to reboot

you were pointing at yourself and Midorima to further try to get the POINT ACROSS to this poor man who’s trying to process this OFBEJDIWHRIE

but you stopped your hand motions when you see the purest smile slowly growing on Midorima’s normally stoic face

YOU.EXE has stopped working

he brings you into a tight embrace and for a while you two hug in silence, enjoying each other’s company

“So uh, I’m pregnant,” you said, your words slightly muffled by his shirt

“Yes, I am quite well aware now,” he replied dryly, but his eyes are quite affectionate

“I hope you realize that this is a huge responsibility, (y/n).”

“Hey! I know that it’s a big deal! Come on, who do you take me for?”

“... Right.”

During Pregnancy

the first thing he does was take you to the doctor’s just to find out when you were going to deliver

“What? Why?” you asked him

“I must know our child’s horoscope sign as soon as possible,” he said seriously. “We have to make sure they’re born with no misfortunes attached to them.”

“Are you fucking serious?”

“Why wouldn’t I be?”

MIDORIMA PLEASE-

okay, but he’d also ask the doctor diligently on what you should be doing and what he should be doing to ensure a successful delivery

Midorima is deadass budget-version doctor at home

it’s that one meme where you go:

“Hey mom can we have a doctor?”

Mom: “We already have a doctor at home.”

Doctor at home: Midorima Shintarou

JOKES aside, he really is knowledgeable on this entire ordeal, which is a blessing and a curse

you could always come to him to rely on him when you’re unsure of something or for him to deal with your moodiness

but at the same time, you can’t get away with snacking on abhorrent things because he’d SNATCH them off your hands and scold you for being irresponsible LOLOL

you could NEVER sneak off unhealthy food because he’s ALWAYS somehow there to catch you or he eventually finds out later and still give you an earful

you still try to do it again anyways

then there’s that side of Midorima where he’d stuff the entire house with bundles of lucky items because he insists on buying two lucky items for you and the kid every day during your pregnancy… all so you can “maximize” your chances of having a successful delivery

you’re sobBING, it’s so CUTE BUT SO DUMB

did I mention that he’s already started on building the nursery and decorating it in ALL sorts of lucky charms and adorable plushies under the guise of “being safe and making the room lucky”

he rarely lets you step out of the house, but if you have to, he’ll always make the time for you so he can accompany you and just glower at anyone who looks at you the wrong way

surprisingly, he’s a lot more lenient on the PDA during your pregnancy: LOTS of hand-holding, chaste kisses on your head/forehead and maybe cheeks, and he does often hug you from the side to protect you

if you bring it up to him though, he’ll deny it to the VERY end and insists that he only does it so you don’t get moody and snap at random strangers passing by, and then it’ll be a hassle to deal with them

yeah right, Midorima

Murasakibara Atsushi

How He Found Out

when you first found out, you decided to hide it from him until you can figure out how to go about your pregnancy

1.) he didn’t seem like the type who can handle kids, let alone even like them

2.) you’re worried about how he’d react considering that he has a “devil-may-care” attitude and has quite a languid view on most things, even to this day

you underestimated Murasakibara though because when you first initially excused yourself to the restroom the first few times, he assumed that you were having too many sweets and barred you from consuming them until you got better

but you didn’t… in fact, you looked even sicker as the days progressed

that was when Murasakibara got suspicious and started paying attention to you and your behavior

when he gets serious, he’s incredibly sharp and intuitive

even still, he doesn’t know if he should confront you or wait until you tell him, because you’ve always been the “big pants” in the relationship, for lack of better terms

so he waits and observes, but he still acts just as normally as any other day, and you, on the other hand, thought you were able to successfully hide this from him

still, when you keep up this sneaky behavior around him, he slowly doubts himself about if he did anything wrong, if he forgot anything important, or if you’re doubting this relationship ???

but he’s not going to admit it to you, so he’s going to casually call Himuro and voice his concerns in such a roundabout way

Himuro immediately understands what he’s trying to ask and simply tells him to talk it out with you

ofc, Murasakibara just huffs and complains about it being so troublesome, but Himuro, smiles, knowing him better that he was going to do it despite his verbal complaints

when asking you if he did anything “wrong” and such, you immediately shake your head and deny it all to ease his worries, and you tell him that it wasn’t anything like what he imagined

at your words, Murasakibara was relieved but at the same time, if these weren’t the problems, why were you acting so strange?

like when you kept oversleeping, kept rushing to the bathroom early mornings, or when you even turned down his offer of going to the grocery store, bakery, and the confectionery store together multiple times simply because you said that you didn’t have the energy

he finally confronted after a few weeks of dodging on your end, draping his entire body over you from behind and placing his chin on top of your head

“Chibi-chin…” he mumbled. “You’ve been acting really weird for the past few weeks. Talk to me.”

you only sighed as you turn around and embrace Murasakibara, and then separated from him to put distance between the two of you as you make eye contact with him

you resigned yourself to tell him the truth because he was going to find it sooner or later, considering that you’ve developed a small bump… so far, you’ve passed off your stomach size as a “food baby” and “gaining weight, I guess,” but you knew you couldn’t use that excuse forever

but before you can utter out a single word, dizziness hits you like a truck, making you completely lose balance before you legit fainted on the spot

poor Murasakibara expresses one of his rare moments of absolute distress as he lunged forward to catch you before you fell to the floor

he’s dialing Himuro because he has no idea what to do and he’s absolutely PANICKING and thinking of the worst-case scenarios of what happened to you

Murasakibara was READY TO CALL THE AMBULANCE AND EVERYTHING but Himuro managed to calm him down enough to reason that it’s better to bring you by car

after all, Himuro had an inkling of an idea of what happened to you, but like a little shit, he’s not gonna tell Murasakibara because seeing him so openly expressive like that was a guilty pleasure for him

POOR MURASAKIBARA

he’s constantly holding you in the car like his life is on the line, and Himuro is just driving and looking straight ahead mentally cackling and wondering how he’s gonna escape his wrath if Murasakibara ever finds out that he knew but didn’t tell him

imagine a distraught giant busting through the doors carrying an unconscious you with a model-like guy trailing behind and pushing the giant to the side to try to coherently talk to the disoriented receptionists

what a life

the doctor merely just says that you fainted and it wasn’t serious, and Murasakibara doesn’t believe them ONE BIT

but he notices Himuro walking over to the doctor’s ear and whispering something, before they had an “ah-ha!” moment, and then right on cue, they had you moved to a different room for testing

poor giant is so agitated, constantly shaking his leg on the floor while he’s sitting in the waiting room, jeez HIMURO PLEASE GIVE HIM A BREAK

“Congratulations! She’s pregnant!”

“Huh.”

“Aren’t you her special someone?”

“Indeed, Atsushi is!” Himuro answers for him with a wink

Murasakibara needs to p r o c e s s this

after a while, you groggily stroll out the room like nothing happened, but still you had a frown on your face because you didn’t want Murasakibara to find out about your pregnancy this way

the car ride home was so AWKWARDLY SILENT

when you both get home, he gets SO PETTY AND CHILDISH AND HUFFS AWAY AND REFUSES TO TALK TO YOU

you try to coax him with kisses, hugs, and tickles, but he’s not budging one bit

even snacks didn’t move him… even though he did eye them for a bit before he turned away

“Atsushiiii,” you whined. “Talk to meeee, I’m sorry.” and there you go pouting and trying to squish his cheeks to get him to give up

he looks at you with an uncharacteristically serious look when he asks, “Why didn’t you tell me, Chibi-chin?”

and here you are, reluctantly explaining your reasons, and Murasakibara is just frowning because he’s thinking about how he needs to get his shit together so you don’t ever think that you can’t rely on him again

lots of wholesome cuddling to make it all up to him

“So… Chibi-chin.”

“Yeah?”

“I’m… gonna be a dad?”

“Yeah.”

and he gives you the brightest smile he’s had since the game against the Jabberwocks, except it was much more intimate and sweeter

During Pregnancy

does Murasakibara have any idea on how to deal with pregnancy? no, but to be fair, most people aren’t prepared anyways

he keeps forgetting that he can’t just give you sweets and snacks willy-nilly anymore because that’d be horrible for the you and the child

but he’s always giving them to you out of habit LOL, but of course, usually you turn his snacks down and remind him that you can’t eat them anymore

except when you have ungodly cravings and just accept his offerings without a complaint

and then Murasakibara feels like something feels off before he realizes you’re tearing off the packaging and ready to shove the entire biscuit into your mouth—

from that point on, he’s a lot more diligent in keeping the processed foods away from you

whenever Himuro stops by to help you out, Murasakibara REFUSES to forget what he did before and he glares daggers at him with every chance he gets, and both you and Himuro ignore him and are having your own conversations about the child AND MURASAKIBARA JUST SULKS IN THE CORNER ALL ANGRY—

he’s so petty and he’s so pouty, and honestly he is the one that becomes clingy during your pregnancy

whenever you shop for baby essentials to prepare, he’s always tailing after you like a lost puppy and trying to learn and understand the baby basics(????), while also doubling as your bodyguard

I mean, who would want to mess with you while there’s a purple titan RIGHT there?

still, you get a huge kick when you see people’s shocked expressions at seeing this gigantic man in the baby sections/aisles following around

you noticed, especially during your later trimesters, that he’s even gentler in how he handles and touches you, and it’s super cute that he’s so conscious about his size and strength around you

your heart is LITERALLY melting

you don’t think he even realizes that himself

but still, Murasakibara has to literally grit his teeth to stop himself from glaring/snapping back at you when your mood swings get really bad

how much do you want to bet that Murasakibara makes you buy extra baby food just to try it?

he’d probably even make you taste test it with him

he says it’s so the baby can eat the best brands out there and doesn’t have to eat the shitty food, but you think that he’s just eating it for fun and you tell him not to spoil the baby so early like that

he leaves the decorations and actual planning up to you though, even though he’ll be right behind you as you do it… he just finds it tiring and too complex sometimes

if you send him on grocery errands and things like that, he’d actually get up and do it without a complaint

if it was all for you and his child’s sake, he’ll do anything… after all, it’s the least he can do to be a dependable father

[pitch-pearl-void]

12 Days of Pitch Pearl, 2

decorating, presents, jealousy, sharing

Starr made a delicate little cough. When Phantom failed to look away from the barista draping garland over the counter, she leaned forward and whispered "Ghost Boy?" into his ear.

Phantom looked away from Danny and met her gaze. The green eyes of the town hero turned Starr's insides into butterflies, his attention making her feel light-headed. "Yes?"

Starr smiled and ducked her chin a little, peering at Phantom from beneath her lashes. She twirled a lock of blonde hair around her finger. "May I kiss you?"

Instead of blushing or smiling or even shaking his head in a gentle no, Phantom frowned at her, confused. It wasn't a reaction she had expected, let alone what she had hoped for. 

"You're the sixth person to ask me that," he said. It almost sounded like he was complaining. 

Danny snorted and muffled a cough/laugh behind his hand. 

Phantom's attention snapped back to the employee so fast Starr jumped. "What did you do?" he demanded.

Danny grinned at Phantom. "Me? I haven't done anything." He adjusted the garland on the counter, making it more visible on the customer side of the counter. "I'm only putting up Christmas decorations like Mr. Lancer told me to. I don't want to get in trouble again so soon after you jumped the counter and broke our glass mugs."

"That was your fault and you know it!"

"I didn't tell you to jump the counter!"

"No, you just wouldn't stop talking about the Box Ghost knocking me into the lake!"

Danny snickered. "On national television. Oh my god, dude. How have you not died a second time out of shame?"

"Um," Starr interrupted pointedly, trying to regain Phantom's attention. "It's because you're under mistletoe, Ghost Boy."

Phantom pulled the garland out of alignment, ignoring Danny's cry of dismay. "Spite."

Phantom blinked at her. "Missile what?"

Danny snorted again.

Phantom glared at him. 

Starr touched his arm, pulling Phantom's attention back to her. "It's a human tradition," she explained, her fingers lingering on Phantom's bicep. "When someone is under mistletoe, it's tradition to kiss them..."

As she had hoped from the beginning, Phantom's cheeks gained a green hue as she stared into his eyes. A die hard fan, Starr knew it was the ghost boy's version of a blush, and she smiled sweetly at him. 

Danny ruined things. Again. 

"It can be on the lips, but most people go for the cheek," he explained. He wasn't even looking at them, he was adjusting his stupid garland again. "That's why that old lady kissed your cheek earlier. It's what you do for strangers."

"Oh." Phantom blew out a sigh, his blush receding. "That's alright then. That was kind of sweet." He smiled somewhat goofily. "She said I was an excellent hero, Fenton."

"I heard."

"An excellent hero. And then she kissed my cheek and said Merry Christmas." He seemed ridiculously excited about some old lady's good opinion of him, almost floating out of his seat on the bar stool. Danny smiled at Phantom, his eyes softening for just a moment as his gaze lingered, but Phantom missed it, already having turned back to Starr. Starr wasn't about to point it out to him. "You can kiss my cheek, I guess. Since it's one of your traditions."

Starr's lips wobbled, wanting to pout. If Danny hadn't opened his dumb mouth...

But...kissing Phantom was still a dream come true, even if it was just on his cheek. Thinking of it like that, Starr felt her spirit rising, her smile reflecting her happiness. She touched her fingers to Phantom's chin, partly to hold his face in place, partly to feel his skin against hers. It was cool to the touch, but there was an odd sensation to it. Not quite static, certainly not enough to hurt, but something that sang of restrained power and made Starr's skin tingle. 

Excited to feel that skin on her lips, she began to lean forward. She held Phantom's gaze as she moved in, allowing her eyes to slowly close. She pressed her kiss against his cheekbone, just below his left eye. She lingered longer than was warranted, enjoying the tingle on her lips, before she forced herself to lean back. 

Phantom's blush had returned, a brighter hue than before that actually lit his face in a green glow. He couldn't meet Starr's gaze, his eyes shyly aimed away from her. Starr knew how a boy looked when a kiss affected them, and Phantom was showing all the signs. Despite the chasteness of the kiss, he had liked her kiss.

He liked her kiss!

Starr's hand was still on his bicep, fingers on his chin. She parted her lips, feeling breathless, brave, as an invitation to go for a walk leapt to her mind. Phantom was looking at her lips. He was looking at her lips!

Danny suddenly laughed. 

Phantom's head jerked toward him, Starr's fingers left holding empty air. "What?" Phantom demanded. "What's so funny?"

"You got lipstick on your cheek," Danny answered, still laughing. Phantom squawked and reached up a hand to rub away the mark left by Starr's lips, but Danny caught his wrist quickly by leaning over the counter. "Whoa there, ghost boy. You're just going to smear it and get red lipstick all over your glove. Here. Let me get it." 

Danny let go of Phantom and searched around his side of the counter until he found a white rag. He ran it under water for a second, damping the cloth. He returned to Phantom's seat and gestured for Phantom to lean forward. 

Without a second thought, without any hint of embarrassment, Phantom set his hands on the counter and leaned forward as Fenton had silently asked, half floating out of his seat. Starr's hand fell from his arm, forgotten. Danny placed his free hand on Phantom's opposite cheek, bold as you please, and began to lightly drag the damp white rag over the lipstick Starr had left on Phantom's cheek. On accident, certainly, but...

Phantom stared at Danny. He stared and stared like he was oblivious to Starr standing right there, like any move on his part, even to blink, might ruin...whatever was going on between them. Even Danny seemed affected, a red blush of his own slowly moving over his cheeks as he wiped away the lipstick.

Starr pouted. "He could just clean it off in the bathroom," she reminded them. 

Phantom twitched. 

Danny flinched, jerking his hands away from Phantom.

Instead of returning to his seat, Phantom asked, "I've been sitting under mistletoe this whole time, Fenton?"

Danny's eyes rose to meet Phantom's before moving away again.

Phantom waited a moment, hovering over the counter. "...Did you not want to kiss a ghost?"

Danny's nose wrinkled. He turned away, washing the lipstick off his white rag. "I'm working, stupid. I'm not even allowed to sit down right now, do you think kissing customers is anywhere close to being tolerated? I'd get fired for inappropriate behavior, and then who would make your ultra specific coffee?"

"Ah..." Phantom lowered himself into his seat again, his tail curling contentedly around the legs of his stool. "Speaking of which..." He lifted his cup and half smiled at Danny. "Refill?"

Danny dropped his rag in the sink and turned back to Phantom, snatching his cup and quickly turning away, but not before Starr--and Phantom--noticed his red face. "If Mr. Lancer didn't like you so much..." he muttered. 

Phantom braced his chin on his hand, his elbow on the counter, and grinned sly at Danny. "Oh, it's only Mr. Lancer who likes me, is it?"

Danny chose not to answer that. 

Phantom continued to watch Danny brew his coffee, his smile softening until it was as gentle as Danny's had been earlier. He lifted his head from his hand and shifted in his seat. Speaking slowly, almost cautiously, he asked, "If...if I wait until your shift--"

"Yes." Danny's ears turned red, his blush spreading. "Yes. Just. Wait. Please?"

Phantom crossed his arms over the counter and hid the lower half of his face behind his forearms, but not before Starr saw the giddy, excited grin stretching his lips. 

Starr stepped back, backing away from the ghostly hero. He didn't notice. His attention remained on Danny as it had before Starr had even arrived. Starr turned away, letting herself release one quiet sigh of regret. She left the cafe without ordering the drink she had entered for, not wanting to see the moment Danny's shift ended and Phantom allowed him a kiss. 

An actual kiss on the lips and not on the cheek.

-----

Because the POV was from Starr's perspective and she doesn't have the full context, here you go: Danny hung the mistletoe above Phantom on purpose. He wanted Phantom to receive platonic kisses like from the old lady and maybe drive him a little bit nuts because of all the people trying to kiss him. It was just another prank between "enemies". But the desire to be one of the ones to kiss Phantom snuck up on him, especially after seeing Starr kiss him, and now Danny has thoroughly played himself lol

haikyuu!! headcanons

⇢ scenario: how you’d spend the holidays with them!! | read pt.2 here! ⇢ feat. : suga, hinata, & kageyama (karasuno) x gn!reader ⇢  wc & warnings: 1.7k, none ʕ·ᴥ·ʔ this is me trying to psych myself up for the holidays aha... thinkin of doing more if i get the inspo and make it in time ><

sugawara koushi ୨୧ ˻˳˯ₑ*॰¨̮ the holiday spirit with him is unsurprisingly soft and domestic!! he’s the kind of guy that loves to uphold traditional celebrations like the holidays, your birthdays, new years— things like that because it’s important for him to create memories that you can look back on many years later. you bet the holiday decorations will be up mid-november, so once you see him struggling to hang multi-colored lights along the exterior of your house, you have no choice but to laugh at him at first but eventually help him out!! his cheerfulness and child-like excitement nearing the holidays becomes contagious so the two of you start matching everything: penguin sweaters, (ugly but comfortable) red/green pajamas, mugs that have those cringey couple labels on them— basically, you name it, you and suga have two versions of it to wear/use!! suga would be in an extra-baking mood, too!!

if there’s a holiday party (probably at the school he’s teaching at) that you would be attending with him, suga will volunteer to be in charge of baked goodies! sugar cookies, brownies, donuts with cinnamon sugar, maybe even a raspberry choco cake roll?? the possibilities are endless with your pastry chef of a man, and ofc you make it your duty to help him out in the kitchen!! baking til 2 or 3am, sometimes just goofing off with the flour, cookie dough on the tips of your noses, and suga stealing a kiss (or a lick) here and there. all the while your favorite holiday playlist hums in the background of your colorfully lit home, pictures of the two of you hanging around a tree, santa hats bouncing up and down atop your heads the way you dance everywhere, his arms snug around your waist. while you wait for the last batch of cookies in the oven, suga has already prepared his original hot cocoa for the two of you, making sure he adds extra mini marshmallows in your elf mug tonight— you sit by the couch overlooking the decorated frenzy of your surroundings. and you know you made the right choice spending it with him. :) when the actual party happens, o god the kids love you!! calls you his partner for lifey!! sth cute like that and u don’t know if suga taught them that or they just made it up lol either way, you’re so very excited to see how the love of ur life interacts with his students as, you guessed it, he’s so so good with them!! they run up to him, bouncing up and down just to get a bite of his baked goodies and while he’s handing them out, he also gives them a handwritten card. for each n every one of them!! when did he do that?? you question to yourself, but when he seesn you giving him an incredulous look, he just sheepishly smiles and says, “when you fell asleep on the couch last night, i wrote them last minute.” o,, that’s why when you woke up, u don’t even remember lying down in the bed but you surmise suga had carried you all the way there too :’) 

they sing a lot of holiday songs, play those party games like trip to jerusalem or once the music stops, you have to stop dancing or you’re out type of game and just overall lots of fun filled moments and you feel thankful for witnessing such a pure, innocent sight right around the holidays!! ofc once it’s all done and he bids them goodbye with a hug, a hi five or a pat on the head, suga doesn’t forget about you and puts up a mini mistletoe by the door when everyone had left. he has that teasing smirk on his face and you’d do more than just kiss him bec of it but uh, you’re still in the classroom so you give in with a chaste yet sweet kiss on his lips. he returns it a little deeper, but you push his chest off playfully, and boop! him on the nose. “later, sir,” you reprimand lightly, yet cheeks blushing at your interaction with him in his workplace. he shows that toothy grin, and intertwines ur fingers together as u walk to your car and finally spend more time together again <333 his most favorite part of this season!!

hinata shouyo ୨୧ ˻˳˯ₑ*॰¨̮ be prepared for a very hyper and energetic holiday week with this guy!! imagine you two are still in college, he has a break from playing professional volleyball to spend these times with his family. and he chooses to spend most of those days with you!! he is actually very excited to bring you home to meet his mom and (not-so) little sister, and it’s very nerve-wracking knowing that it’s an important holiday for them to be together as a family— and then you’re just gonna crash it like that??? BUT sho doesn’t see it that way! he already sees you as a person he’ll definitely experience even more holidays the next year, and the one after that, but in order to ease up the anxiety that has been building up in your system, he tells you of his extravagant plans for the two of you before going back to his parents’ house!! think amusement parks in the winter, ice skating in frozen lakes, walking on boardwalks with two styrofoam cups of hot choco for him, and a peppermint mocha for you!!

o, and if there’s some downtime with your adventure, he’ll drag you outside where the snow is ankle deep, tells you to take a picture of him in the cold, earmuffs hugging the sides of his temple so warmly that you find so adorable. you’re about to pull your phone out until you feel cold, wet, melting ice smacked onto your cheek!! “SHO, WHAT THE HECK—” you don’t even have time to protest because WHACK, one more snowball, but he missed and it got to your jacket this time. luckily, your phone was still okay but your boyfriend definitely won’t be once you find him as he had started running, your voice calling out to his name in the breezy wind. so that whole afternoon, you were seen having a ridiculous snowball fight around campus (you guys stayed in the dorms until you were ready to leave), laughing when you threw one directly at his open, cackling mouth. shouyo started choking on the snowball, but you were still wiping tears from your eyes at the hilarity of the situation. “STOTPF IM LITERALYLYL DYUINGGG” “don’t be ridiculous” “JDFSKFDJH” and that’s when you actually run towards him, patting his back rather forcefully because oh god what if you did make him choke and his family won’t have a son coming home this time around?!

while you worry in your head, shouyo had already tackled you to the ground, snow engulfing your bodies together. “let’s take a picture here, this is the perfect spot!” he’d chuckle, peppering you with winter kisses, sending shivers down your arms not just because they were cold but also wow, you’re so lucky to be with a guy like him during this season. suddenly, you anticipate meeting his family :)

kageyama tobio

୨୧ ˻˳˯ₑ*॰¨̮ you know what you’re very excited for that kags isn’t? his birthday falls on the week of christmas, and any other normal person would just think, “ah, i can just combine his gifts into one!” but for you that’s a big no-no. and kageyama knows it, and he’s flustered and shy because everyone in his life up until the point he’s met you had always just given him a 1 for 2 type of gift. not that he minded, that’s all he’s ever known in his life so when you promised him a big birthday bash and a special holiday gift, he’s scared for what’s to come,,, although, you know he’s not big on surprises or bigger gatherings, but you wanted to see his reaction as to how you planned it all out! in reality, you just wanted to spend precious time with your bf on his bday and an early christmas before he leaves to go visit his family :(

after tiring hours of vball practice and finals (he’s gotten better at studying, don’t underestimate this guy!) he sleeps in on the day of his birthday, not even realizing the night prior he’s turning a year older that day!! you creep up to his dorm with the spare key he has given you, place the milk and berries cake you ordered yesterday on his desk, and surreptitiously clasp the paper birthday hat on his sleeping head. the guy doesn’t even stir!! stifling your laughter, you pull out your phone and snap a picture of him and you together, your lips puckering to kiss his cheek and— you forgot to turn your phone into silent mode! apparently the click was loud enough for his eyes to flutter open, and when he realizes you’re next to him he feels a sense of relief, but at the same time the rubber around his face became bothersome… only when you start singing happy birthday did it dawn on him… and he can’t get mad, it’s you, how can he??

you eat a piece of the milk n berries creme cake on his bed, talking about the day you’re gonna spend with him.. and you ask what he wants to do bec it’s his special day!! this gets him blushing since he thought you had this elaborate party with lots of people come, and now he feels guilty and grateful as to how thoughtful you’re being for him… he asks if he can sneak in a practice session for vball for at least an hour and you agree, guessing that would’ve come up sooner or later. anyway, aside from that his birthday was spent strolling around the town center near campus, snow underneath your boots and snowflakes showering your hair,,, he places his beanie on yours so it doesn’t get messed up and you thank him with a nose kiss… rudolph, is that you??

you take him to shops so you can buy matching sweaters <3 and he OBLIGES, seeing the gleeful expression in your eyes and smile, how can he resist the beauty radiating off you today? this is the best birthday gift he can ask for. you end the day by grabbing some milk tea, spending the rest of the night getting cozy under blankets, and watching cheesy romcoms to which kags just shields his eyes away… the embarrassment!! >< you end up sleeping in his arms, the ending credits with christmas music playing in the background. the next day, you both wear your holiday outfits (he has polar bear and yours is a panda!!) and take lots of pictures bec you know you’ll miss him when he goes back home :(( he immediately makes one of the selfies u took as his lockscreen: the two of you squish yourselves in between the snowman you both created. your face is lit up with utmost happiness, and kags is just looking at you with a loving grin to his smile as well. :)

[jerzwriter]

17 (I'm still bitter about PB not giving WTD a sequel, okay!? 😅) and 19 from the OC asks for all 3, please and thank you!

GIRL... it would be you that would dump 17 on me. LMAO 😅

I'm answering 19 first though - because you know I'm a huge Broadway whore and I spent FAR too much time analyzing this...

19: Your OC’s life is a musical. What’s the title of their big show-stopping song?

Casey:

I'm squealing because I love this song, and I think it's so Casey it's bright, it's sunny, it's about someone who is going to stay positive and shine no matter what life throws at her. It's someone who is focused and going for their dream, they have a plan, they're going to make it happen, and they're going to have fun doing it.

And, since my precious girl has been maliciously called a ho by those not worthy of her, there is this line:

Get ready for me, love 'Cause I'm a "comer" 😅😅😅

That's right, bitches, she's living her best life that way too... in BOTH universes.

Don't Rain On My Parada - QUEEN Barbra Streisand from Funny Girl

Ethan:

OK, one song came to mind right away, and it's one of my all-time favorite songs, some lyrics:

To dream ... the impossible dream ... To fight ... the unbeatable foe ... To bear ... with unbearable sorrow ... To run ... where the brave dare not go ... To right ... the unrightable wrong ... To love ... pure and chaste from afar ... To try ... when your arms are too weary ... To reach ... the unreachable star ...

This speaks to his quest in medicine, his attempt to find the answers where there are none, and the emotional struggles he has carried and (dependent on how your story goes) overcomes. I'm all verklempt.

The Impossible Dream - from The Man of La Mancha - this version is by the incomparable Broadway legend, Brian Stokes Mitchell. (I mentioned I'm a Broadway whore, right?)

Tobias:

This one was most challenging for me. While I feel Ethan & Casey's characters allow me to turn to the Broadway classics, Tobias needed to be contemporary which limited my pool. In some ways, Wait for It from Hamilton seemed fitting, but that's so heavily embedded in the storyline that it didn't work. I didn't want to pick this because it's so "pop culture", but the words did it for me:

Some say, "Eat or be eaten" Some say, "Live and let live" - Tobias lived both of these in my HC.

It's the wheel of fortune - It's the leap of faith - It's the band of hope Till we find our place - On the path unwinding - In the circle, the circle of life

This kind of exemplifies his journey from the shady Tobias of Book 2, to the evolving man in Book 3, and, in my HC, where he found the place he truly belonged and came to peace with himself.

The Circle of Life - from The Lion King, but I'm using Elton John's version because Elton is ... ELTON.

Now, 17 is below lol

17: How does your OC do during the zombie apocalypse?

Oh my. OK.

Casey: She's going to do ok. My girl is badass and she will rise to the occasion and survive no matter what it takes. Her potential downfall is wanting to help others who may not be as savvy as her. But after a couple close calls. She'll get over it.

Ethan: I think he'll be fine. He'll be with the scientists that they have locked underground in a super-secret facility working on a way to end this crap once and for all. Either he finds a cure with the rest, or they live the rest of their days in this bunker.

Tobias: OK, a couple scenarios here. If it is old-Tobias, he'd likely try to seduce them... and succeed. If it is new-Tobias, he'll be with Casey and she is so badass, he'll be safe. He is also badass, but she is the superior Zombie fighter.

For someone who has never watched anything to do with Zombies in my life, I hope I did OK. lol

Hello ! Could you tell me facts about the life of Cesare Borgia? Thaanks.

So, I really wanted to make this a short list with basic facts, but somehow it ended up becoming a longer, detailed list with my favorites facts alongside facts that aren’t very well known or mentioned, here it goes: - Cesare received an outstanding, carefully planned education. He was brought up at Rome by private tutors until the age of twelve, in 1489 he left Rome to attend La Sapienza of Perugia, where he studied the foundations of law and the humanities, being placed under the charge of the preceptor Giovanni Vera of Archilla, to whom btw, he remained warmly attached until Vera’s death in 1503. In 1491 he continued his studies in Civil and Canon law at the University of Pisa, attending the lectures of Filippo Decio, one of most rated lecturer on canon law of his day. There he also became more acquainted with the Medici family, through Lorenzo de’ Medici sons: Giovanni de’ Medici and his brother Piero. - Paolo Pompilio, a Spanish scholar, dedicated his treatise on verse-writing, the Syllabica, to Cesare, where he praised him as ‘Borgiae familiae spes et decus’  (the hope and ornament of the House of Borgia).     - His father, as Cardinal and Vice-Chancellor, invested a long list of benefices upon him, to name only a few: when he was seven years old, pope Sixtus IV conferred upon him a prebend of the cathedral’s chapter of Valencia. In 1483 he received the title of rector of Gandia and archdeacon of Játiva. Later on, with pope Innocent VIII he was granted the position of treasurer of Mallorca’s cathedral, following that of canon of Lérida, Archdeacon of Tarragona and then treasurer of Cartagena’s cathedral. By 1491, Innocent at last granted him the bishopric of Pamplona. - He learned the art of bullfighting from the Spanish members of his father’s court and it became one of his life passions. Whether in Rome or in the Romagna, at any celebration, there was almost always a bullfight and he was almost always participating himself. - He also loved hunting, so he was always looking for good hunting dogs and falcons. On May 28th, 1497 he even sent one of his men, Enrico, to Germany to request from the Archbishop of Mainz some “well-trained and sagacious hunting dogs; their quality to be more important than their number.” - He was the first person in the history of the Church to resign the cardinalate, eventually becoming commander of the Papal armies. - He was briefly hostage of the Colonna during the conflicts of the French Invasion in 1494, and later on hostage of the king of France, Charles VIII. Although that time, he escaped their camp at Velletri, with the help of a man named Francesco del Sacco, officer of the Podestà of Velletri, who was waiting for him with a horse. Cesare sped back to Rome going to the house of one Antonio Flores, where he stayed for a night and informed his father of his presence. The next day, he withdrew to the city of Spoleto, and remained there until matters cooled off. - In 1497, a sword was forged for Cesare, known as “the queen of swords”, for his visit to Naples as papal legate, to crown the new king, Frederick of Naples. Its design was attributed to many artists including Michaelangelo, but it is more likely that the artist was Pinturicchio. And the blacksmith/sword engraver was Salomone da Sesso (c. 1465- c.1504–21) who after his conversion to Christianity assumed the name of Ercole dei Fedeli. (more details about the sword here x) - Cesare appeared wearing a horned mask in the guise of a unicorn during a theatrical performance, in one of the many festivities held in honor of his sister Lucrezia’s second wedding. Unicorn are known symbols of female chastity, possibly a reference to Lucrezia and her wedding night, but it also shows off Cesare’s own sense of humour, since it was well known to all present that he was anything but a chaste man lol. And the unicorn horn, according to a Greek physician had the ability of protecting people from sickness and neutralizing poison, which could have been another humourous remark from Cesare in reference to his family’s reputation of using poison to dispose of their enemies. - His best known mistress was Fiammetta Michaelis, she was a cultured courtesan from Florence, but who lived in Rome since 1473 most likely. Her relationship with Cesare was such that even after his death in 1507, she continued to sign herself as Fiammetta Ducis Valentini (of the duke Valentino). And her will in the city archives was headed ‘The Testament of La Fiammetta of Il Valentino.” - On May 10, 1499, he married Charlotte d’Albret, and before his departure from France he appointed her governor and administrator of all his lands and lorships in France and Dauphiny. He also made her heiress to all his moveable possessions in the event of his death (a little more about that here x). On December 1501, he personally selected precious gifts to be sent to her acquired from Venice. It included moulded wax, white sweetmeats, fine sugars, syrups, nine barrels of Malvoisie, oriental spices, oranges and lemons and all kinds of cloths. - Under his patronage, the first printing press of any importance was established in Italy. It was set up at Fano by Girolamo Sancino in 1501. One of the earliest works was the printing of the Statutes of Fano for the first time in January 1502. - About his administration staff, also in the year of 1501, we know he had a beautiful young woman from Bologna named Jovanna, working for him in his chancery. She’s described as a “degnissma scriptora”, she wrote letters and maybe did other secretarial duties as well for 14 ducats. - Whether it was treachery or a legit, reasonable move against Guidobaldo's own plans of treachery against him, the fact is that Cesare acquired Urbino without bloodshed in any of the towns, in a brilliant coup that amazed the whole of Italy (and terrified the nobility lol). While leaving a military contingent at Camerino, Cesare road north through the Apennines, between Nocera and Urbino he covered more or less sixty miles in forty-eight hours with a mixed force of 2.000 men. Before anyone else knew, he had already took Cagli, inside the Duchy of Urbino. Simultaneously, two other points were taken too, Montevecchio and San Lorenzo. Di Naldo, one of Cesare’s captains came from the east. These three armies converged towards the capital of Urbino then, where they met with the castilian and the garrison was rendered by him. A few hours later Cesare himself entered the city without any resistence. - The famous Sleeping Cupid by Michelangelo that Cesare gifted it to Isabella d’Este when he took Urbino in 1502 had a history together. He had previously been the owner of this piece. Cardinal Riario Sforza bought in 1496, but apparently when he found out that the piece was a modern piece and not an antique, he didn’t wanted it anymore, so it was displayed across the street of Cesare’s palace and he bought before the end of the year and later on send it as a gift to Guidobaldo da Montefeltro, Duke of Urbino. -  A popular canzona of the time, Donna contra la mia Voglia by Filippo de Lurano  (c.1470-c.1520) was Cesare’s favorite song. (There is an excellent version of it too by conductor and composer Jordi Savall). - As another step to secure the unity of the Romagna, Cesare did a reform in legal administration of great importance, he established a supreme Court of Appeal, named the Rota, influenced by the famous Court of the Vatican with the same name. He appointed as The First President, a newly created office, to Antonio di Monte Sansovino, a distinguished jurist with high integrity, and who was universally beloved. This Appeal Court sat in the seven main cities of the Romagna: Fano, Pesaro, Rimini, Cesena, Faenza, Forlì and Imola. If it was necessary, this Court would sit for as much as two months. All expenses were met by a payment from each of these judicial circuits of 200 ducats per annum. - In October 1500 Pinturicchio wrote to Cesare asking for the grant of a well to be put in one of the lands pope Alexander VI had bestow on him and his descendents at Chiusi, a city in the province of Siena, but near Perugia. Pinturicchio went himself to see Cesare at Diruta to request for all the necessary permission. Cesare issued a letter to Alfano Alfani, vice-treasurer of Perugia, making the request and saying that: “he had again taken to his service Bernardino Pinturicchio of Perosa, whom he always loved because his talent and gifts; and he desires that in all things he should be considered as ‘one of ours.” This initial request wasn’t honored so Cesare wrote again to this Alfani reinforcing his wish to be granted within that year. In 1501, Pinturicchio was given an annual payment as Cesare’s personal painter as well. - Cesare hired Leonardo da Vinci as a military architect and engineer in the spring of 1501, he entrusted him with all sorts of projects, in Cesena for example he asked that Da Vinci planned a new quarter of the city with wilder streets, sidewalks, parks, and a functioning sewage system and many other improvements. He also issued papers from the city’s headquarters for the construction in Cesena of a new university building, a palace to house the Rota. - Cesare also commissioned Da Vinci to work on an alterpiece, that is now lost unfortunately, at the Santuario della Beata Vergine del Piratello, outside of Imola. Some scholars agree that Da Vinci at the very least begun this painting, but it was not finished by him. There are some sketches he made that are called: Three views of a bearded man and it’s generally accepted to be Cesare, in what might have become a portrait of him in this alterpiece. - Right after he conquered a city, it was Cesare’s policy to issue a stem proclamation against plunder, guaranteed the property of the citizens. At Forlì he took measures to safeguard the convents, listening to all complaints of ill-treatment or robbery at the hands of the soldiery. On December 7, 1500, he hanged from the windows of his headquarters, two of his own men, a Piedmontese and a Gascon soldier, who had disobeyed his orders against plunder in the town. On the 13th of the same month, other offenders followed the same fate as the first two, which showed his zeal and the level of his commitment for the interests of his Forlivesi subjects. - At Cesena, as in other places in the Romagna, that same policy was applied, the usual disorder was put to an end, and civic automony was fully restored, along with the suppresion of aristocratic feuds, which resulted on econonical security and internal peace. - During the conquest of Faenza, the only city where Cesare met a true resistance, he retired to Cesena through the winter months while the siege kept going there. One night, he was walking around the city when he found a baby girl abandoned in the street, he commanded the baby to be nursed, and settled an ample dowry on the baby’s mother until she was of marriageable age. Afterwards, when the father refused to acknowledge the girl as his own, Cesare himself acknowledged the girl and she was baptized that day. - On March 29, 1501, when he was informed of Beatrice of Naples arrival at Cesenatico, twice Queen of Hungary and of Bohemia, and sister of Frederick of Naples, he send off his staff to greet her and to present her with a 'royal gift'. He ordered his lieutenants to honor her in every city in the Romagna and the Marche region, where she made her way back to Naples. - On 1502, Cesare and his father, Rodrigo went on a boat trip to Piombino and the island of Elba so that Rodrigo could officially take possession of these territories Cesare had recently conquered. Everything went smoothly, and they were on their way back when a violent storm began, hitting them hard. During 5 days they wandered aimlessly. Everyone, but Rodrigo, were quite anxious and scared. At the second day, the crew saw an English ship, and Cesare proposed to go to this boat to request for help, but Rodrigo refused, not wanting to request help from strangers. Eventually they made it back ashore, but it was a close call there for them for awhile.     - After the masterstroke at Senigallia, where he successfully arrested his conspiring condottiere, the city was in total confusion, and a part of Cesare’s infantry were starting to sack the city, so Cesare in full armour and on horseback gave orders for his men to stop the sacking immediately, he then gathered some of his captains and went about the city streets putting a stop to the abuses that were starting to happen, some soldiers however, refused to obey his orders, and they were promptly executed there for their disobedience. - On 25 October, 1506 he managed to escape the Castle of La Mota, in Spain, a fortress that at that time worked as State prison, of maximum security, and where he was imprisoned. With the collaboration of his chaplain, and a servant of the governor's, named Garcia, along with the outside help from Count of Benavente, a powerful lord from the neighbourhood, who visited him regularly, he managed to climb down the 40 meter high tower with a rope, and if memory doesn't fail me, he was the only prisoner to have ever managed to escape this prison lool.
