Could you write about Pedro x Reader's first kiss? She's also an actress, and they became great friends while filming a movie together. Eventually, they fall in love... and, well, their first kiss happens. Just something really fluffy and romantic :) love u
Pairing: Pedro pascal x gn!reader
a/n: love you more <3 babe, also for some reason I wrote the beginning of this like it's the monologue at the start of a rom-com so don't mind that, i haven't written in a while, i need to get back into it
Tumblr media
You weren't looking for love.
You weren't looking for anything really, just a new job, a new role, a reason to get away from the city for a while, and then... and then as always life got in the way.
They say love comes when you're least expecting it, and I guess they were right, because if there was one thing you weren't expecting, was to fall in love with the guy you spilled coffee on your first day on set.
But then again, already then you knew something was different, as he laughed while you stood there mortified, as picked up the cup for you, as he smiled like you'd just done him a favor, as he said "y/n, right? I already like you", already then, you had known something was different.
Pedro became your lifeline, he was the person who made you get through every day, he was the one who made you smile, laugh and even giggle like a teenager at the most inappropriate times, he was the one you'd go to after every rough day, and he was the one you'd rant to whenever you needed, and for him... for him you became exactly the same.
You were inseparable, on and off set, you were always together, but always just as friends. Perhaps you were scared of that deep, guttural feeling that was starting to settle in your chest, and perhaps he was terrified of the idea of making the first move, of confessing that you were an everlasting thought in his mind, that his heart skipped a beat at your every smile, he was petrified at the idea you could reject him, and nothing would ever be the same, but as it turns out, all you needed were a few drinks and a wrap-up party for your movie.
You had sneaked out into a quieter room because you didn't like parties all that much, and there was no chance in hell he was leaving you alone.
You were sitting on a sofa, resting for a moment, when you said: "so I guess this is the last time we'll see each other for a while"
And he'd frowned, turning to you
"What are you talking about?"
"well we won't see each other every day now that the movie's done, that's all" you shrugged, biting your lip,
And for some reason, that made him laugh
"sweetheart if you think you're getting rid of me this easily, you're sadly mistaken"
"oh-wh-" you smiled "I don't wanna get rid of you!"
"I sure hope so" he tilted his head, grinning 
"of course not" you shook your head, fixing the collar of his shirt "You..." you trailed off, freezing as your eyes met his, and you realized how close you really were.
"I what?" he asked, the smile on his face decreasing as he too, started sensing the tension building in the room.
"You know, asshole" you murmured
"No I don't" he argued, his hand on your waist "What were you about to say?"
You tried taking a deep breath, but your lungs weren't really cooperating, and his hand felt very pleasant on your body.
"You... you're important to me Pedro" you confessed, your voice faint, honest.
And right then, right then he knew that this was the turning point, the moment he was gonna have to risk it all, or regret it for the rest of his life.
"you're important to me too y/n" he whispered, gently leaning closer, until his mouth was ghosting yours "Very important," he said, before inevitably, his lips met with yours and you both let go, let go of your fears, and opened up to each other, to love, to everything that could, and will now be.

Hi, i enjoy your headcanons and writing! I was wondering if you could write about Franklin, trevor and Michael with an S/O who is cold easily :)? I'm anemic and the winter weather is kicking my ass in that regard rn, lmao
(I’ve always had such bad anemia, so I totally feel you! It doesn’t get too cold here, but winter is literally the worst! Anyways! Tysm for the request, I’m sorry it took so long!)
TW: None
Franklin, Trevor, and Michael with a S/O who gets cold easily:
Franklin Clinton:
Over protective vibes are activated. If you get too cold, you could get sick. And he’s not letting anything happen to you!
He brings a spare jacket everywhere in case you need it, he cranks up the heat in the car/house, he buys a bunch of blankets. He’d even take his own shirt and jacket off to give to you if it looked like you needed it.
He’s not a great cook, but he’ll buy you tons of canned soup, hot teas, make you coffee- anything to keep you warm and comfortable.
He likes lighting his fireplace at night and sitting on the couch with you, in a big nest of blankets, while he holds you and fights off the chill of the night with your shared body heat.
He keeps track of the weather on his phone throughout the day to make sure you won’t need more layers and so he can update you on the temperature when you get ready in the morning. He’d even come to your work, or someplace in the city, to bring you an extra jacket if you’re out without him.
Trevor Philips:
“Did ya know gettin’ naked together under the blankets creates body heat?” He’s using any excuse he can to get you as close as he can. Luckily, he runs pretty hot, and it doesn’t get too cold out in Sandy Shores except at night.
He’s from Canada, he’s used to the cold. So, he may not be as sensitive to your needs as he should be. He’s a very “It’s not cold to me. Why’re you bitchin’?” kinda guy. He may pick on you a bit until he sees you shivering. He’ll give you his old, never-been-washed, denim jacket to keep you warm, after that. He really does care about your comfort, he’s just not super perceptive about that kind of stuff.
He’ll offer to make you soup/stew to keep you warm. Do not eat it! His heart is in the right place, but the last thing you want is to be freezing and have food poisoning. If you gently decline his offer, he’ll make Wade or Ron go somewhere and buy you something pre-made, and safe to eat.
Cranks up the heat in his trailer to almost unlivable degrees. It’s awful, it’s hard to breathe, he’s sweating everywhere- but his heart was in the right place and it is a sweet gesture.
Michael De Santa:
Are you cold? Well, now the most expensive, well insulated, name brand jacket is now yours. Congratulations!
He’s offering to take you on a tropical vacation every winter. It doesn’t get too bad cold in Los Santos during the winter, thankfully. But he’d do anything to keep you comfortable.
He shows up to see you with expensive coffee/tea everytime he sees you. And buys you tons of expensive, handmade wool blankets to keep you warm.
He offers to buy you a car with heated seats/heated steering wheel, etc. He’s all about keeping you warm and comfortable.
Secretly kind of likes that you get cold so easily, so he can pull the cheesy, romantic move of pulling off his own jacket and draping it around your shoulders when he notices you shivering.

Could you write headcanons fluffy/romantic of rayman or Ramon please and thank you
Thank you so much for the request , it’s actually my first one :D
Hope this turned out well ! 
I ended up splitting up the headcanons given how different both personalities are , hope that’s okay ! 
Details : use of gender neutral reader ; 
established relationships ; 
some swear words are present in Ramon’s part , but other than that no warnings are needed
Tumblr media
Rayman 🧡
Given the fact that Rayman has felt incredibly lonely pretty much his whole life , as soon as you showed him genuine kindness and interest in him without focusing on his fame he immediately took a liking to you : 
despite his seemingly very smooth demeanor , he was actually very nervous about confessing his eventual feelings for you , terrified of being rejected yet again … 
But that wasn’t the case , and let me tell you , Rayman will forever treasure the moment you told him those 4 words he was so afraid of never hearing from anyone in his life . 
He wants to know everything you like , and by everything I mean absolutely everything : 
Rayman loves to listen to you gushing about your passions and hobbies , and if you ever need something specific you will find it on your desk with an almost unnatural quickness …
< Wh - are those the acrylics I mentioned just a few minutes ago ? > 
< They sure are ! I also made sure to get you all the colors I could get my hands on , now you’ll have no trouble finishing your piece . > 
 < Ray , thank you so much ! You shouldn’t have … > 
< Anything for you , honey ~ > 
Whenever the two of you go out on a date , Rayman definitely doesn’t waste the opportunity to bring you to the most amazing ( and low key expensive ) places in the city , and this especially happened during your first dates : he really , really wanted to leave a good impression on you , though if you tell him that you’d rather spend time with him in a more quiet place he definitely won’t be unhappy to hang out either at his lounge or at your place … 
He wants you to be comfortable with him at all times .
I like to think that Rayman loves to receive kisses on his nose : whenever you walk by him and surprise him with one , this man will positively melt … 
You will definitely earn a cuddling session for when he’s done with his shows . 
He loves to hold your hand whenever you go outside , also as a way to show everyone around that this lovely person is with him , JUST him .
Some might see this as a bit excessive , but regardless of how long you two have been together Rayman is deep down still worried that he might not be good enough and that you might leave him someday , so if you reassure him on this you will definitely make him happy …
< You know I won’t ever leave you , right Ray ? You’re the only one for me , this won’t ever change . > 
< Heh … I know y/n … thank you . > 
Tumblr media
Ramon 🖤
Now that he knows that he’s been used by Eden all these years , Ramon’s once cheerful demeanor has definitely changed a lot … but his love for you didn’t : 
the fact that you’re choosing to stay by his side despite the dangers that you two might have to face just makes his adoration for you grow even more , and he wants to make sure that no one will dare to hurt his sweetheart .
He might need to be comforted more often … 
Ramon feels horrible about letting all those terrible things Eden did just slip by him , so when the guilt becomes too much he just walks over to you and buries his face in your chest , your genuinely loving words and the sound of your heartbeat giving him a peace that nothing else is able to make him feel .
< You couldn’t have known , love … if Eden tricked you , it’s not something you can blame yourself for . We’ll figure this out , I promise . > 
< … thank you y/n … I … really needed this . > 
< Don’t mention it , Ram . >
If you’re feeling cold , no matter how many degrees it is outside and how much you protest , Ramon will cover you up with his coat .
< Stop it ! It’s freezing out here , you can’t just - > 
< I can … and I will . > 
< Uh , I don’t think so ! 
Here , give me a second … 
There , we can just share it , no reason for you to be cold . > 
< I … 
Pfft … I love you so much y/n . > 
< I love you too , Ram ~ > 
If you ever do get actually hurt by someone ? 
Ohh boy , whoever did it is in trouble … 
Ramon is going to track them down no matter how long it takes , and you better believe he’ll blow so many holes in them that not even their corpse will be remotely recognizable .
< N-no ! PLEASE HAVE MERCY !!! > 
< Heh … should’ve thought about that before putting your hands on y/n , you FUCKING BASTARD ! > 
After he’s done with making the person resign from life , Ramon is going to immediately come back to you to stay by your side if you’ve been badly wounded , constantly apologizing for not being able to keep you safe and also telling you to never ever do something that dangerous again . 
Ramon loves you so much , he just doesn’t know what he’d do with himself if you were gone …
Ramon has grown to become even more physically affectionate than before , and whenever the two of you have are alone for a moment he will just hold you in his arms , giving you loving kisses while whispering sweet nothings in your ear , his deep voice rarely failing to make you blush …
< y/n , you’re so beautiful … I never want to lose you , you’re the one thing keeping me sane in this goddamn hellhole … you’re my everything … > 
He keeps this to himself , but the reason Ramon does this is also because he isn’t even sure if the two of you are going to survive your mission of getting rid of all the oppressors of hybrids in the city .
He wants his moments with you to be engraved in his memory , because if everything were to fall apart the next day he would at least remember his beloved before the end …
You’re his very own ray of hope , after all .

Spirit of the Season (Bungo Stray Dogs)
Primary Universe
Summary: Atsushi stumbles upon Akutagawa while he's out Christmas shopping for his sister and decides to help him get back into the right mindset for the job.
A/N: I wanted a Shin Soukoku Christmas fic really bad, so I wrote one. Tada! This is fic #3 of 4. Enjoy! <3
Word Count: 1,377
~~~
“Can I not walk the streets of Yokohama without running into you of all annoying people?”
The way Akutagawa slowly turned his head to give a wide-eyed glare to Atsushi made sneaking up on him and delivering that line totally worth it. The weretiger bit his lip to keep from laughing out loud at the expression.
“Sorry, I couldn’t resist,” he managed after a moment, pulling himself together. “What are you doing all the way out here?”
Akutagawa blinked at him, then turned his gaze back to the dark, glittering ocean and clear, starry sky above. “Christmas shopping.”
“Really?” Atsushi glanced around, making a show of not seeing anything at all except the scenic overlook they stood on. “I didn’t know there were shops this far away from the street.”
“Quit being a smart aleck,” the darker man snapped. “I’m reconsidering my approach.”
“To Christmas shopping?” Atsushi couldn’t keep the humor from his voice, then frowned as he realized his rival was being serious. He cleared his throat and tried again. “Who…um. Who are you buying for?”
“My sister.” The ‘who else?’ was implied.
“Oh, right. Well…what’s the problem?”
Akutagawa didn’t answer right away. Atsushi took the opportunity to admire the view the mafia executive had sought to use as inspiration. It really was beautiful out tonight. It was cold but not freezing – just enough for them to see their breaths puff out before them. The stars were shining, there were colorful lights all over the city, and a kind of uneasy calm settled between him and the man who’d sworn to kill him one day. Under literally any other circumstances, Atsushi might find it almost romantic.
He shook that thought right out of his head.
“Gin has grown to be a very beautiful young woman. I’m not sure how to buy for someone like that.”
The bluntness of the statement surprised the weretiger. “She’s still your sister, though, isn’t she?”
Akutagawa let out a heavy sigh, turned on his heel, and leaned against the railing of the overlook, shooting a weary glance at the detective. “I can’t believe I’m talking to you about this.”
“I’m just trying to help.”
“Lately she has been seeking ways to feel more feminine in her off time. She never used to. Buying gifts for her has always been easy because she’s an assassin, and I know what assassins like in their arsenal. Especially hers.” The mafia executive blew out a huff of air and looked to the sky. “Now I feel the need to encourage her on this new path, yet…I don’t know how. I know nothing about women or what they like.”
Atsushi took a moment to digest the fact that Akutagawa was speaking to him so openly about his family. “Maybe jewelry?”
“My first thought as well. Yet what I get her should be practical. There’s no use buying her diamonds when she spends most of her time fighting and would never wear it.”
“Right.”
There was silence for a moment before Akutagawa asked, “What would you get Kyouka?”
Atsushi hummed thoughtfully. “Well…I guess I don’t know. She’s younger than your sister, so I’m pretty sure she’d still like stuffed animals and things like that. Maybe. It’s a little different.”
“Yes, I suppose so.”
The detective glanced at his rival, observing how genuinely contemplative and serious he looked. It was clear that he wanted to do something special for his sister, and that warmed Atsushi’s heart on her behalf. He leaned against the railing as well. “You’ll figure it out. Try not to worry so much.”
“I don’t need your pity.”
“I’m not pitying you! I’m telling you you’ve got this. It would probably help you to cheer up a little bit, though. I find it hard to go Christmas shopping when I’m in a bad mood.”
Akutagawa rolled his eyes. “I’m not in a bad mood. I’m trying to take this seriously, weretiger.”
“You can take things seriously and still smile about it,” Atsushi replied, feeling emboldened by the moment they’d just shared without trying to kill each other for once. He reached over and poked the darker man’s ribs.
Akutagawa gasped sharply and jolted away, suddenly standing up straight and glaring full force. “Do not even think about it.”
“It’s not like you can hide it from me now.” The detective flashed him a little smirk. “I know you’re ticklish. You can’t take that away from me.”
The way Akutagawa’s cheeks blossomed red at the accusation surprised Atsushi into silence. Thankfully that stillness also afforded him the sharp perception he needed to realize the man was lunging at him, one fist drawn back and ready to strike.
Atsushi ducked under his punch and grabbed onto his sides, squeezing hard. “Gotcha!”
Akutagawa sputtered and grabbed a fistful of the weretiger’s hair just before he was lifted off his feet and thrown unceremoniously over Atsushi’s shoulder, fingers still wiggling in his sides and forcing deep, raspy giggles from him that he would deny until the end of time.
“This ought to get you into the Christmas shopping spirit, Akutagawa!” the detective giggled along with him, pinching and digging and squeezing in quick succession, enjoying every yelp and squeal and kick he got for his efforts. “Tickle, tickle!”
“Put – puhuhuhut me down! Weretihihihiger!” Akutagawa demanded through growling chuckles, pounding a fist on his captor’s back, kicking his legs to try and throw him off-balance.
Atsushi laughed. “Aww, someone’s a little too ticklish, huh? Quit squirming! I want to get to your ribs. That was a good spot last time.”
“Dohohohon’t you dahahare!” Akutagawa barely had time to voice the protest before those tickling fingers wiggled their way up to his lowest ribs, making him choke on his words and bark out a loud laugh before he could manage to slap a hand over his mouth, kicking even more wildly now. “Off! Gehehehehet off!”
“You’re the one over my shoulder, remember?”
“Puhuhuhuhut me dohohohown! I swehehehehear – weretiger! No, dohon’t – quit thahahahat!”
“What’s that? Don’t quit?” Atsushi finally managed to get his fingers into the groove between Akutagawa’s bottom ribs, more than a little satisfied when the man froze in his efforts to escape, laughter bursting out of him beyond his control at the tiniest hint of pressure. “There we go. Does it tickle bad here, Akutagawa?”
“WERETIGER!!” The mafia executive’s tone had shifted into something resembling pleading now, his fist pounding weaker against Atsushi’s back, turning more into a kind of tapping out gesture. “STOHOHOHOHOHOP!!”
Atsushi decided he’d probably pushed his luck enough for one day and relented, gently setting Akutagawa back on his feet. Akutagawa immediately shoved away from him, arms curling across his torso as he dissolved into a coughing fit.
It was only then that the weretiger realized he wasn’t just coughing to cover up any leftover giggles, as he’d suspected the first time. He’d genuinely had trouble breathing being tickled like that, and with his condition…
Before he could begin to feel badly about it, Akutagawa straightened again and clenched his fists, glaring daggers at him. A beat passed, then he thrust his hands into his coat pockets and started walking, brushing past Atsushi without a word, and the detective was positive this particular interaction was over.
But then Akutagawa stopped in his tracks and muttered over his shoulder, “You can follow if you want.”
Atsushi couldn’t hide the way those words made him beam from ear to ear if he wanted to.
By the time the night was over and they parted ways, Atsushi got to witness one more holiday miracle besides actually having a civil conversation with Akutagawa and getting to tickle him without dying afterward. In the third shop they visited, he watched as Akutagawa’s eyes suddenly lit up and he went straight for a simple pendant with a violet dragon etched into it – something that seemed very fitting for Gin, even to Atsushi.
It was jewelry, but practical. Something that could be worn under her work clothes without fear of shattering at the tiniest movement.
Akutagawa was satisfied, and Atsushi was happy to have been able to help – even if that help was simply getting his rival back into the spirit of the season with something as straightforward as a little laughter.

For prompt thingy (your prompts are amazing!!)
Supervillain with Fire/heat related powers and villain who’s constantly cold and seeks out Supervillain’s physical touch and heat ability to warm up :]
1. On a frigid winter’s day, Supervillain finds Villain barely conscious on the streets. As they get closer to check if this stranger is still alive, Villain clings to them for warmth, and Supervillain cannot get them to let go. It looks like taking them home is their only option for now.
2. Supervillain’s fire powers make them very hot to the touch, and generally, their body lets off waves of heat to their immediate surroundings. They’ve even had to have a special super suit manufactured for them so that they don’t accidentally incinerate everything and everyone around them when they get emotional. This has made relationships, romantic or otherwise very difficult for them. But when Villain comes to see them, blue lipped and frosty lashed with unbearable ice powers, someone is finally happy and able to stand their warmth.
3. Villain is known for being cold 24/7, they even have a habit of carrying a blanket around HQ with them to stay warm while working. One day when seated next to each other in a meeting, Supervillain notices Villain shivering, even with their blanket, so they lay their hand on their back to warm them up with their heat power. Little did they know this was going to get Villain trailing after them everyday seeking out cuddles.
4. Villain’s ability to freeze things is dangerous, even to themself. They often end up with frostbite or hypothermia, and they’ve been told by power specialists their powers appear to be getting stronger and may one day kill them. Villain only knows of one person who may counteract their power with their own: Supervillain, a powerful flame super. Though, they don’t see Supervillain helping if they simply ask, so it’s time to put on the charm.
5. Villain hates fire types. It may have something to do with their ex being Hero, a renowned fire super. But it probably has more to do with the amount of times they’ve almost been barbecued by flame wielders—Hero included. So when they end up being found hypothermic in a snowy wasteland, Supervillain, another powerful fire type, is not who they want to see. Even if they may need them to stay alive.
6. Villain is attacked by an ice hero and becomes “infected” with an unbearable, incurable chill. The only thing that keeps the cold at bay is Supervillain who has an opposite power to Hero. Villain feels awkward about it, but they must constantly cling to Supervillain if they want any peace from the cold. That is, until they can find a permanent cure.
7. Villain is enchanted to be a real life sleeping beauty, and as long as they sleep, the city remains trapped in an eternal blizzard. The best shot anyone has is to use Supervillain’s fire powers to reverse the enchantment. They may also be the only person who can reach Villain’s ice encased building alive. The heroes are ready to make a deal, but Supervillain has conditions, namely that when the enchantment is lifted, they get custody of Villain, not the heroes.
8. Villain has a bad habit of getting too snuggly, so when they and Supervillain go on a stakeout together, it doesn’t take long for Villain to start cuddling for warmth, much to a flustered Supervillain’s surprise.
9. Supervillain is used to being hated and feared for their power, so much so that they have isolated themself from most people and try hide their powers whenever they’re not being used for schemes. When Villain joins their group, they’re surprised by how often Villain wants to be around them, knowing what they are. But for some reason Villain seems to be very interested in their power, constantly asking questions or requesting demonstrations. Does Villain…like them?
10. A long time ago, Villain saved Supervillain when they overheated and caught fire. Now Villain has pushed too far and frozen themselves. It’s time for Supervillain to return the favor.

For the ship bingo, perhaps ethubs or boatboys?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
sorry it took so long to get to this i got so excited someone asked me to talk abt ethubs i went into a coma 😭😭
Ethubs
um uhh umerm ethubs yeah etho and bdubs and last life and mindcrack UHCs and eyah yknow um yeah
you know that one post that's like "inside my head is a five page essay with footnotes and when i speak it's just ouhghh blorbo he is so shaped". that's me with ethubs. not even kidding ethubs is the ship that made me finally "get" shipping in general, mcyt or not. i. words. i care them.
and uh there's. not rlly anything i can say i think that my ethubs moots haven't already said? They've been friends forever, they play off eachother super well, "he loves me", they're both so obsessed and in need of eachother but at the same time would rather eat raw, unpicked cactus than admit that, etc etc they're so unwell
im just gonna skip on over to the song lyrics bit cus i. they make my brain short circuit i cant even sentences.
The scarlet summer is gone and peaceful gray is draping the city Alone, I reach out for you to hold me tight, shivering Always the days spent with you warmed my heart and kept me from freezing Although I knew they were gone forever But in my pain, to me you came like the warmest breeze "On nights so cold I know you need some company."
Though only in lonely and freezing times, we held each other close to keep from feeling hopeless nothings And now again I can see summer fast approaching like a storm that there's no stopping Repeating in a cycle Like our mistakes
My love for you is endless, just like the deepest sea And like the ocean blue your complications speak to me I've come to understand you, your parts and inner workings My sun only in winter Only when I need you or else you won't need me
Leave you in Summer, Yet You're In My Fluffthoughts (Ashe translyrics) (sidenote this might be one of my favourite music videos of all time)
Falling so deeply while clinging to love But even so, I feel my heart and it’s floating up above Your true face, such a passionate one, shows your beauty, coming in a flood True, all of our short-lived youth will someday come to end Ah, even so, in my view, it starts right now, yet again
And every day, I found I prayed for you to be always full of happiness that remains Ah, just like this, please wait right by my side, please stay
Tablet (Will Stetson / sayriris translyrics) (after watching LL the first thing i did was make a MV to this song with LL Bdubs and it was still the most insane thing ive ever done fuelled by pure gargoyle inspiration juice)
I wouldn't say they're ~~Divorced~~ quite yet cus Idk if they were ever really married as much as just plain endlessly obsessed with eachother, which they still are. But they definitely broke up lmao
but yeah uh their chemistry is great. bdubs said it best. they've been thru the trenches together.
Boat Boys
Thankfully much less thoughts about these two or else this post would get way too long lmao. I like them but I'm not too insane about them I guess? Etho's very awkward near people he isn't used to which was fun to watch but made their interactions kind of limited for a lot of DL I feel.
Joel's obsession with Etho is hilarious and seeing Bdubs get jealous of his #1 ethogirl status getting challenged is great fun. He's definitely gone through a bit of an arc from "I KILLED ETHO! I KILLED ETHO!!" in Last Life to "Eefo D:< You're making me nervous, eefo D:<" in Double Life to whatever the cow divorce situation was in Limlife. It seems like Etho's otherworldly status has been nerfed in his head and he's much less intimidated by him, while still admiring him in that 'childhood hero' sorta way.
I think because of that I've always seen them a little bit as more of a mentor/prodigy relationship than anything else? Specifically one that Etho is not even aware he's in. Eitherway, I don't really ship them in the romantic sense 🤷‍♂️ etho's just way too aloof and joel's got too much fangirl energy for it to be anything intimate lol

Hey! If you're busy feel free to ignore this, but could I please get some romantic headcanons for Red Hood? No hard feelings if you don't want to, since she's not on the masterlist or anything, or if you just don't want to do it. But if you do end up doing it then thanks a lot for taking the time out of your life, as well as keeping this blog running.
I wish you a good day, as well as luck in any future endeavors!
Tumblr media
Red Hood Romantic HCs
I wanted to make a part for Dorothy too, but I've been busy as hell, so that'll probably come after I get through a couple other asks.
Also, if a charcter isn't in the Nikke masterlist, feel free to still request. I have to remake it one of these days because of the photo limit. Anyways, sorry for being late and hope you enjoy.
Tumblr media
》 Being in a relationship with Red Hood can be a mixed bag. On one hand, you two really do love each other, even through the whole alien invasion, pretty much the end of humanity thing. On the other hand, you two don't get as much time together as you used to and even that is an understatement. Between her new duties as a Nikke and worrying whether or not she'll make it back home after her missions, it can get stressful.
》 You would be lying if you said it was easy when she first became a Nikke though. The two of you weren't exactly well off, living in a relatively small village away from most of the fighting. You didn't really think much of it, not realizing just how bad it was until raptures practically appeared out of nowhere, killing everyone in sight. While you were evacuated… you couldn't find her. The only proof of her existence being the cassette player she gifted a friend of yours.
Your breath freezes in your throat as you stare at the red haired woman, proudly walking down the street with a gun damn near twice her size tossed over her shoulder. You don't even know what to feel.
》 Imagine your surprise, spending months thinking she was dead until you saw her and a few others, still alive, receiving a hero's welcome at the city you were staying at.
Tumblr media
Relief?
Confusion?
Happiness?
You couldn't even move, practically stuck in place as you stare at the spitting image of your supposedly dead girlfriend.
She scans the crowd, her eyes eventually land on you, having to double take before stopping dead in her tracks. You have no time to react before you see a huge smile on her face. Her weapon falls to the ground with a loud crash and the next thing you know your feet leave the ground as you're taken into a bone crushing huh.
No words really needed to be spoken between the two of you, everyone else in the crowd forgotten. You just bury your head into her large chest, letting reality sink in.
She's still alive and back with you, so you won't complain.
》 It really doesn't seem like much has even changed, besides that hug she goes right back to how everything was before. Immediately dragging you off with strength you didn't think possible. She wasn't a small woman by any means but it just wasn't human. After she introduced you to her squad and catching up, you found out she wasn't. It was a lot to take in. She did die… kind of? Then got turned into some powerful android who fights aliens for the sake of humanity.
》 Irrelevant. By the end of the day you two were in your house, listening to the cassette player she never seemed to get tired of.
》 She did seem a bit different though, only through very small things anyone else wouldn't really notice. Red Hood was definitely more clingy than she used to be, not to mention she was practically treating you like you were made of glass most of the time. It wasn't a bad thing though, just relaxing in her arms, getting the pillow treatment.
》 It did kind of suck when she had to go out on missions. She was on the best and one of the only squads around, but you still worried whether she'd make it back home or not.
》 Dates are certainly fun. Taking you to a shooting range, though not letting you shoot her gun of course, as you'd probably do more damage to yourself than the target. She's quite fond of showing off in simulations, or just going to see a movie or concert, though needless to say those are exceptionally rare these days.
》 Speaking of shooting ranges, out of everyone in her squad, Snow White is someone Red Hood loves to bring around. She's a nice girl, if a bit childish but she definitely looks up to Red Hood, and you to a certain extent. If you like guns or shooting, she'll be coming over a lot to run ideas through you or just hang out, almost seeing you as an older sibling.
》 Definitely protective of you. Not that many people would really try to hurt you. Your girlfriend is part of the Goddess Squad and an android that can tear through even the strongest Raptures with ease. Even then, she won't resort to violence too quickly, usually just using her words to drive them off. If that doesn't work… a flick probably won't kill them.
》 Red Hood is more romantic then her relatively rough and playful exterior lets on. You can't really blame her, you two didn't have the best life growing up, after all. Some nights it'll just be you two staring into the setting sun in a comfortable silence. She does still have a girly side buried deep somewhere in here, though it rarely comes out. She claims doing stuff like that just reminds her of what she’s fighting for, but with the way she stares at you, you know it's deeper than that.
》 It was quite the surprise when one day, out of nowhere, Red Hood approached you saying she was going on her last mission. You were a bit confused, but she brushed it off saying she's been fighting for long enough and wants to spend the rest of her life with you.
》 Was… that some kind of proposal?
》 If it was, you didn't have time to blink, let alone even ask before her face flushed red as she gave her usual smile and speeding off. You just chuckled and shook your head. She was always a free spirit, and you know she'll be back. She always comes back.

November Nights
Note(s): inspired by the video below that I couldn’t get out of my head  Word count: 842 Warning(s): pure fluff
Jisung got his motorcycle license in the summer. You still vividly recall the next meet-up that Jisung insisted upon shortly after he got it approved.
“They’re matching helmets,” he shyly said as he presented two motorcycle helmets. “So we can match when we ride together.”
“Like matching couple clothes,” you comment as you fondly take one from the pair. 
Jisung blushed but nodded. No matter how long you were together, Jisung still had a hard time being romantic without getting embarrassed.
“I love it,” you reassured. “Thank you.”
You stood on your tippy-toes. Jisung got the hint and bent over slightly to meet you halfway.
You pecked him on the lips in thanks for his thoughtful gift like you did every time to encourage his efforts to be a good boyfriend. 
This was Jisung’s first romantic relationship, and he had confessed to being scared of messing it up on one of your late-night talks. Jisung was always careful with both his actions and choice of words around you, but the hours between 12AM and 3AM did something to him, and that's when you usually got the unfiltered truth from him. You loved all of him, but this was the reason you were especially fond of sleepy Jisung. He boldly said the most romantic things then, like wishing for your relationship to be his first and last; of how he looked forward to growing grey and sharing the same retirement home with you. Hearing these pure prayers come from the mouth of your adorable boyfriend did things to your heart. 
Jisung would be the death of you, but you wouldn’t have it any other way. This was a sentiment you thought of often, especially when you went on dates on his motorcycle.
Every weekend since that fateful summer, you two would explore the city by going on spontaneous dates wherever you ended up after riding around on Jisung’s motorcycle, wearing matching helmets and all. Some weekends, you would ride alongside him on your own motorcycle instead of sitting on the seat behind him. It didn't happen often, as Jisung had bravely confessed to preferring having your arms around him instead of an arm’s length away. Another late-night confession. You decided then and there to indulge him as much as possible.
Summer doesn’t last forever, however. It came and went in the blink of an eye and now the nights were getting longer while the air was getting colder with each day that passed. Fall passed by just as quickly, as it is prone to do when you are having a good time. Time is particular that way. 
The seasons may change, but your planned date nights didn’t. 
You went out on your motorcycles just like any other weekend one late November night. It was still technically considered to be daytime if you went by the time on the clock, but the sun had already set a short time ago, and darkness had already fully befallen the city. The air was freezing as it tried to whip you in the face, but you didn’t feel it from having your visor on the helmet down. You had ended up buying matching gloves for you and Jisung once the weather started taking a turn back in the fall, and you were both wearing them as you rode alongside each other. Now and then, you two had to separate and put distance between you to avoid bumping into the cars that you passed by, but you always found your way back to each other again, so you didn’t worry as you no longer felt Jisung’s presence behind you.
After a while, you got curious and lifted your visor to see better and looked around for him. 
That’s when you felt it.
Something wet and cold touched your nose. You turned your attention briefly to the sky and spotted falling snow; the first snowfall of the year. 
There was this belief that if you witnessed the first snowfall of the year with a loved one and made a wish upon it, it would come true.
You felt a familiar presence coming up behind you. You steered the motorcycle in a straight course with one hand on the handle and held the other hand out. Sure enough, Jisung came riding up and grasped it, steering one-handed as well. 
You looked into the eyes of your beloved boyfriend as well as you could with his long hair in the way. He had surprised you one day when winter was coming up by dying his hair snow-white to “test out the future”. You didn’t think you could fall deeper in love with Jisung, but he proved you wrong every day. His dyed hair was a wordless love confession in and of itself that he proudly wore for everyone to see.
Jisung had already confessed his wish for your love to endure the trials of time on a hot summer night. 
It couldn’t hurt for you to repeat the same wish upon the falling snowflakes around you on a cold winter night.

"it seems that they're happier than me. seems like they're where I wanna be. I've got a heart of a hopeless romantic."
-hopeless romantic, sam fischer-
Tumblr media
"Taehyung!" Jimin called out as he saw the dark-haired man stepping out of his car. He began to walk towards him as the man offered him a wave before meeting him halfway. The two hugged upon arrival, patting each other on the back as they greeted each other. Taehyung kept his word and has been texting the blonde over the past few weeks. After working through schedule differences, Jimin invited the man to hang out with some friends to get him out there again. Supposedly, Taehyung had become a recluse from those active college days when people who didn't attend the school knew his name.
"It's fucking freezing," Taehyung complained as he walked alongside Jimin. He shoved his hands into the pockets of his coat. "Wasn't it just 70 degrees the other day?"
Jimin chuckled, feeling the breeze nipping at the exposed skin on his neck. "You've been here for how long, and you're still not used to New York weather?" They expertly weaved through people as the streets grew more crowded. It was a Friday night, not that it made a difference for New York City. As usual, the city was alive. The strip lined with bars, clubs, and your occasional food stop sang a melody Jimin grew to love.
"I can't deal with this place's flip-flop weather." He huffed, slowing with the other as they joined a short queue. "I miss California. At least there, winter was always a nice, consistent 70. Sometimes 60, but never below a damn 50."
The blonde laughed, shaking his head as he covered his mouth. He was glad that he stumbled upon Taehyung at that art show. He missed him and his antics. He thought about his younger often but never had the time to reach out. "You have a point. Cali was like summer year-round. Have you visited recently?"
Taehyung nodded, pulling out his phone from his pocket. "Yeah, I just checked on my parents last month."
Jimin smiled fondly, remembering Mr. and Mrs. Kim. "That's nice; what did your girlfriend think?"
"She didn't go."
Jimin's eyes went wide for a second before his brows furrowed. He kept his thoughts to himself, knowing it wasn't his place to intrude. He found it odd, though, and as hard as he tried, he couldn't help himself. "How long have you been together?"
Taehyung glanced up from his phone, looking to the sky as if the dulled stars could give him the answer. "Um, two? Three years?"
Jimin's brows lowered. "You're not sure?"
"Eh, you stop counting after two anyway." He said with a wave of his hand.
Jimin looked ahead, his jaw clenching ever so slightly. It's not your place, he thought to himself. A girl as beautiful as her, and he couldn't even remember how long they'd been together? He wondered if the man remembered their anniversary or made some half-ass attempt after forgetting. But it wasn't his place. He was sure whatever Taehyung was doing kept his partner happy, even if it seemed the bare minimum. He decided not to pry any further to keep the energy high for tonight. He filled the silence between them with small talk, little nothings that the two didn't care much for. 
After entering the establishment, Jimin began to lead Taehyung through the crowd. Intense music and passing conversations filled their eardrums. Some girls had one too many drinks, swaying wildly in their seats, and men whose eyes wandered in the room hoping to find a "friend" to take home. The blonde led him to a table further into the establishment.
"Hey!" A group of men shouted once they reached the table. A few glasses were on the table, letting the newcomers know they started drinking without them.
"Hey guys," Jimin grinned as he took off his coat. "This is my friend Taehyung." He introduced the dark-haired man as they sat in their seats. The blonde then glanced at the faces surrounding them before the corners of his lips pulled down into a frown. "Yoongi couldn't make it?"
A man with midnight locks and round-framed glasses sitting on his nose shook his head, his large hands messing with a shot glass until it fell. He startled himself, dark eyes glancing at the other men at the table to see if they noticed. "Boyfriend problems." The table erupted in a collective sigh. 
Jimin raised his hand to grab the attention of a waiter. "I swear, he needs to find someone less toxic."
Another dark-haired man nodded, plush lips formed into a pout as he fidgeted with a napkin between his fingers. "He claims he's his muse, or whatever the fuck that means."
Taehyung then locked eyes with the man sitting next to him. The man furrowed his brunette eyebrows, and his short platinum hair ruffled slightly. The ebony-haired man furrowed his eyebrows until the other gave him a heart-shaped smile. "I knew I recognized you from somewhere!" He exclaimed, reaching out to pat him on the back. The rest of the table glanced at the two, eyebrows raised. "He's my neighbor!" He beamed.
It took a minute to hit Taehyung, but when it did, a smile grew on his lips as well. "Hoseok! Shit, it's been a minute."
"Well, since Jimin has no home training," the other dark-haired man said, prompting a hey from the blonde. "I'm Seokjin."
"And I'm Namjoon." The man with the glasses said.
"I was getting there," Jimin grumbled, finally getting the attention of a waitress. He placed an order for the table.
"Sure you were," Seokjin joked with a smirk. "So what do you do for a living, Taehyung?"
"I'm an architect," he said as he leaned onto the table. "What about you guys?"
”I'm an accountant," Seokjin said.
"I'm an art gallery owner," Namjoon said, earning a nod from Taehyung.
"I work for Jimin," Hoseok snickered while Jimin rolled his eyes. The waitress returned, placing shots and beer in front of the men. 
"We work together," Jimin corrected, taking a swig of his beer. He playfully glared at the platinum blonde. "Besides, you were holding it down for the past year."
"Psh, I was only reading off your text messages to the people." He waved off Jimin, causing the man to shake his head.
While the others chuckled, Taehyung's brows furrowed as he looked at Jimin. "What exactly do you do?"
"I own a couple—"
"Four," Hoseok cut him off with a teasing smile. 
"Dance studios around Manhattan and Long Island." Despite the interruption, Jimin continued with that playful glare in his eyes. "Hoseok and a couple of people teach the Long Island locations, and I take care of the Manhattan ones."
"Oh wow," Taehyung nodded. He vaguely remembered Jimin mentioning that was his dream. It was unbelievable how he accomplished it already.
"Cheers to that," Seokjin said, raising his shot glass. The other three men followed while Taehyung hesitated. He glanced at Jimin, eyes drowning with uncertainty. The blonde couldn't help but smile softly, offering him a comforting nod. He grabbed his glass, clinking it with the rest of the group before taking it to the head.
Jimin placed his glass back on the table, seemingly unaffected by the intoxicating liquid that warmed his chest as it went down. Taehyung's face visibly twisted — his nose wrinkled as the corners of his mouth pushed downward. His tongue made a brief appearance as he tried to physically shake the taste out of his mouth. He couldn't remember the last time he had a drink. Maybe college? The other men chuckled at his reaction, finding him amusing.
"The first one is always bad," Hoseok commented with a noticeable frown on his lips. "It'll start tasting like nothing soon enough." Taehyung nodded as he called the waitress over, ordering himself some water.
"So, how are the wedding preparations?" Seokjin asked, looking at Hoseok.
The sound of Jimin choking on his beer didn't take anyone by surprise except for Taehyung. "What?! You're engaged?!" The blonde stared at the other, eyes wide and jaw dropped. Hoseok just nodded, a broad smile forming as he looked down at the table bashfully. "To Momo?" He questioned lightly.
Hoseok nodded again. "Of course, she's the love of my life." He looked at Jimin, causing the table to erupt in an aw. Taehyung glanced around for a moment before shifting in his seat.
"Congratulations!" Jimin beamed, leaning back into his seat. "Damn, you leave for a year and miss everything."
"I got the video of the proposal if you want to see it," Namjoon offered as he pulled out his phone. Jimin leaned over to Namjoon so enthusiastically that he practically knocked over his drink.
"I really thought we weren't going to make it for a second," Hoseok admitted, hearing the memories playing from Namjoon's phone. "Jin honestly saved us."
Taehyung tilted his head as he picked at the fries the group had ordered. "What do you mean?"
Seokjin leaned back in his seat, taking a sip of his beer. "I'm like the relationship guru of the group." He lifted his left hand, a silver band glimmering on his ring finger. "Happily married, 12 years strong." The smile that formed on his lips was genuine, almost prideful.
Now, Taehyung choked on his drink, catching the group's attention. Their conversation slowed as they watched him closely, ready to help. He swallowed hard; the gulp of air water going down his esophagus put an ache in his chest. "12 years?" He repeated, eyes wide as Seokjin nodded. "And you're how old?"
"Thirty."
"Holy shit." He stared down at the table, hand running through his dark hair as he did the math. "So right out of high school…." He chewed on the inside of his cheek as disbelief clouded his mind.
”How's the wife anyway?" Jimin asked with a smile. He was so happy that his friends had found love; healthy love at that. He wanted nothing but the best for them.
"Amazing and pregnant," he grinned.
Jimin and Namjoon shared a gasp. "Congrats!" The blonde said, causing everyone but Taehyung to cheer quietly. 
Seokjin raised his hands, silently telling the men to stop. "Thank you. She's almost out of the first trimester."
"Are you having a baby shower or a gender reveal?" Hoseok asked.
Seokjin shrugged, smiling to himself as he thought. "I don't know; I wouldn't mind doing both, though."
"I'm sorry," Taehyung said. Everyone looked at him while his eyes locked with Seokjin. "I know I just met you, but… within 12 years of being committed, you've never stepped out on her once?"
"No." He answered quickly, with no thought to it whatsoever. His brows lowered while looking at the dark-haired man, almost offended by his genuine question. "I never even had the thought to."
"How?"
Hoseok, Namjoon, and Jimin all exchanged the same look with each other before looking to Seokjin for his answer.
"How?" Seokjin repeated as he sat up. "Because I love her. And I will love her until the earth's end. We always choose each other at the end of the day. We choose to love, choose to be faithful." His stare hardened. "Are you in a relationship?"
Taehyung suddenly felt small under Seokjin's gaze. "Yeah…," he said quietly.
"And you're actively choosing her?" He asked with a raised brow. Taehyung looked at him for a moment as if he suddenly froze. His gaze lowered toward the table as he nodded. "Then you have nothing to worry about."
"Shit, and I thought I was just here to get drunk," Namjoon mumbled, causing everyone to laugh off the tension. Jimin looked at his old friend, watching as he fiddled with his fingers. The blonde wondered why he would ask that. Why would that thought cross his mind and leave his lips without hesitation?
"So!" Hoseok looked at Jimin. His energy practically screamed out at him to be saved, and he knew how to cheer him up. "Do you wanna hear from the Jung wedding chronicles?" Jimin's eyes finally met as he nodded, the corners of his lips tugging into a small smile. "We finally found a place after weeks of traveling between three. And now, it's the best part. Colors."
Seokjin laughed wholeheartedly while the other two men looked confused. "Lemme guess, your living room looks like the inside of a Home Depot paint section."
Hoseok groaned loudly, shutting his eyes as he fell back into his seat. "Yes, oh my god. I swear girls have some kind of super eyesight because she showed me three blue swatches and said they were different colors!" The group laughed at his frustration, but Taehyung only let out an uncomfortable chuckle. "I love the woman to death, but I swear I'm gonna lose my mind doing this. She cares so much about every little detail, and I'm just happy to be marrying the love of my life."
"Ew," Jimin chimed in as he sipped his beer. He grinned, scrunching his nose up slightly. "You're so in love; it's gross."
"To gross for you to be a groomsman?" Hoseok asked, quirking a brow while smirking.
Jimin's eyes lit up, though he tried feigning a grimace. "Ugh, of course, I would love to be one. Are you kidding?"
Taehyung suddenly stood up, causing everyone to look at him. "I gotta go."
Jimin furrowed his brows. They've only been here briefly; if he remembered correctly, Taehyung said he could hang out until late. "Where are you going?"
"I just, um…." He stuttered, trying to find a reason besides not wanting to sit at a table full of married people. Happily, married people. He pulled out his phone, seeing a text notification on his Lock Screen. "Kiara needs me to pick her up." He gave Jimin a half smile while Hoseok furrowed his brows and glanced at his phone. Taehyung looked at the rest of the table. "It was nice meeting you all. I hope we can hang out again soon." He nods at them before walking away.
Once Taehyung left, the tension in the air finally dissipated. Everyone's shoulders relaxed as they exchanged the same look of awkwardness. That same heaviness from earlier reappeared in Jimin's chest, prompting him to chug at least half of his beer in hopes of drowning it.
Namjoon cleared his throat. He was quiet most of the night for a reason. "He's a little…, odd." He said slowly, choosing his words lightly.
"Yeah," the rest of them said in unison. Jimin and Hoseok shared a look, speaking silently. Hoseok shook his head as he looked at his phone again.
"Well," Seokjin clapped his hands together before calling for the waitress, "another round!”
Tumblr media
A few blocks down, four girls seemed to steal the breath of everyone they passed. They walked down the sidewalk as if it were a runway, and they were models. Out of the whole population of Manhattan, only a few had it. People moved out of the way for them. Men gawked as they passed, earning hits in the arms of their significant others. Girls couldn't help but stare with envious eyes while whispering off with their friends. It took a lot to steal the attention of other New Yorkers, but the group was used to it. They didn't mind it as they were too wrapped up in their own conversations.
When they reached their destination, the girls ducked into a building. It was their go-to karaoke spot, an experience that grew into a weekly tradition in the colder seasons. The four had the intention to sing until their vocal cords were raw. The interior was dim; the bulbs in the ceiling gave off a red light. They stood in a corner, out of the way of traffic, while one of them ran up to the counter.
"I swear to god, he's still in love with you," Kiara told Valerie, causing the woman to huff. She flipped her wavy midnight hair over her shoulder, her onyx eyes rolling as her blush pink lips formed into a smile. Her warm, beige skin turned pink as she thought of the man still wanting her.
"Why did you even break up with him?" Another girl named Samira asked. She popped her gum before blowing a bubble that took away the shine on her two-tone chocolate and raspberry lips. Her button nose wrinkled, folding her arms over her chest as she leaned to the side. She had golden brown skin and long hair the shade of obsidian that fell down her back.
"Because he was too boring," Valerie whined, her full lips sticking out into a childish pout while the girls groaned audibly and rolled their eyes. "He was too stable! He had a job, a car, his own apartment…."
"Oh my god, he had a job?!" Kiara gasped dramatically, sarcasm laced in her silk voice. "And a car!? And a place to live?!" She raised her hand, placing it on her forehead as she leaned on Samira, pretending to faint.
Samira laughed as she held her up, ignoring Valerie's glares at the two. "God forbid you meet a stable man in New York City! The absolute horror!" She joked through giggles.
While Valerie swatted her hands at the girls, the one who ran off returned to the group. Her skin was fair, the red lights tinging her to a soft pink. Her almond eyes, bright despite their dark color, watched as the girls interacted. Her hair, shoulder-length black, was pulled into two low ponytails. "The room is ready!" Her sweet voice cut through the commotion of the girls, offering each of them a smile to match. 
Valerie stopped her attack, throwing her arms around the girl to embrace her. "Momo! They're making fun of me!" She whined like a child while Kiara and Samira stuck their tongues at her.
"Aw," Momo cooed as she rubbed Valerie's back. She playfully glared at the girls. "Shame on you two. You know she's not all the way there!"
Valerie gasped while pulling away from her. "Hey!" They all shared a laugh while Momo led them down the hall to one of the reserved rooms.
The women quickly got comfortable in the room, stripping themselves of their winter coats and placing them onto the corner of the couch. They ordered some food and drinks and sang to their heart's content. Everyone felt warm, laughing as they purposely sang songs out of tune. The drinks were strong, and none of the greasy appetizers they ordered had soaked up the alcohol. Needless to say, within the hour, they were already tipsy. They took a break, plopping and spreading themselves on the couch.
"You know, I met the most interesting person a couple of weeks ago," Kiara said as she put her phone down on her lap. She stared up at the ceiling as flashes of plump lips, a sculpted jawline, and a dazzling smile appeared before her eyes.
"Who?" Valerie asked.
"Someone to replace Taehyung?" Samira smirked as she scrolled through her phone.
Kiara glared at the girl. "No!" She leaned her head back again. "Just someone…."
"This someone had to be important for you to keep remembering them," Momo commented, looking at Kiara.
She couldn't stop the small smile that formed on her lips, giggling softly at a joke no one but she knew. "He just had the shittiest pickup line I ever heard."
"What was it?!" Samira asked, suddenly interested. "I love a corny pickup line."
The smile on Kiara's lips grew, "He compared me to one of the pieces in this art gallery I went to, saying something about us having a beauty no one contained." Despite being corny, she couldn't help but find it charming. 
The girls burst into laughter, clapping their hands as they fell into the couch cushions.
"Oh my god, was he like fifty?!" Valerie giggled.
Kiara shook her head, covering her mouth as she laughed. As everyone calmed down, she took a deep breath. "But he was such an ass when I rejected him."
"How so?" Momo asked.
Kiara's face scrunched up, her arms folding over her chest. "First, he called me a liar, and then he said it was a red flag for Taehyung to be late."
"I mean, it is," Samira mumbled, prompting a smack in the arm from Kiara.
"The point is he couldn't take rejection! And called me a liar!" Kiara said in defense.
"Maybe he was just having a bad day," Valerie added. Kiara shrugged. Her rejection might have been the icing on the cake for him. Not everyone was an asshole just to be one.
”In other news!" Samira practically shouted to fill the silence that overcame the girls. The other three jumped slightly, but the girl paid no mind as she flung herself over Kiara's lap to meet Momo. "Let's talk, my love. So about these colors…."
Kiara and Valerie let out a loud groan, followed by a roll of their eyes. "No wedding stuff on girls' night!" Valerie whined.
"Yeah, you promised!" Kiara added while poking at the girl's side, making her flinch.
Momo laughed at the two, eyes filled to the brim with fondness. "You did promise. And I'm not paying extra for off-hours talks."
Samira pouted, then sighed when her half attempt of begging failed, being met with no change. "Fine," she whined as she got up. "This is probably my favorite wedding I planned so far, and I may just be a little obsessed."
”A lot obsessed," Kiara said with a smirk.
Samira stared at Kiara for a moment. "You right," she shrugged before plopping down on the couch.
"Alright! Round two!" Momo exclaimed as she grabbed the small tablet that controlled the TV.
Another hour had passed before the group stumbled out of the establishment with a little more alcohol in their system than before. The streets had become crowded with people—some drunk while others seemed to rush to their destination. Samira and Valerie said their goodbyes, disappearing into the sea of people as they left the two Long Island fish in the sea of city dwellers. Kiara stared down at her phone as she leaned against the brick wall. Despite being warm from the alcohol coursing in her veins, the winter wind still nipped at the bare skin between her dress and thigh-high boots. She stared down at her phone before clicking on a specific contact name. She placed it to her ear for the fourth time, hearing it ring before going to voicemail.
"Need a ride?" Momo asked while putting her phone to her ear.
She bit her lip for a second before sighing heavily. "Yeah," she mumbled. "I don't know why Taehyung's not answering. He said he wasn't gonna be out late."
Momo shrugged her shoulders. "When does he ever answer, though?" She commented before speaking to the person on the other end. Kiara huffed, looking away from the girl. She hated it when Momo was right. She hated when any of her friends were right. Sure, Taehyung had some very annoying qualities, but everyone did. No one was perfect. They didn't know the side of Taehyung she fell in love with, and they didn't have to. Though, being left out in the cold was a downside. "Hobi should be here in a few minutes," Momo said, dropping her phone back into her purse. 
Kiara nodded, feeling an odd weight in her stomach. Momo and Hoseok were the picture-perfect couple. Their relationship was something comparable to the big screen. Anyone from miles away could take one glance and tell they had immense love for each other. Kiara wondered if people could tell that with her relationship. She hoped so, at least. Love surrounded her from all angles—her parents' relationship, her brother's, her friends'…—that Kiara couldn't help but yearn for the emotion. If she had it on paper, why was she still getting these feelings while watching couples interact?
As she slid into the backseat of the car, she greeted Hoseok. He handed both girls a bottle of water before proceeding to drive off. She tried not to look at the couple, considering that heavy feeling didn't subside yet. She didn't want to see how he lovingly gazed at her friend. Despite how happy she was for them, she couldn't help but compare her relationship to theirs. The fact that they were together only two years before Hoseok popped the question, compared to her four years and counting, made her queasy. She stared out her window to distract herself. The alcohol kept her quiet as she watched the buildings passing by. Bright lights shone like the stars in the sky, reflecting off of the water as they crossed over the bridge. She picked up bits and pieces of the couple's conversation as her thoughts drowned them out.

in honor of love day: what is the biggest or most poignant act of love you have ever given or received? any kind of love, not just romantic. friendship love, family love, partner love, pet love, heck even coworker/boss love
When I lived in Scotland, I would go home about 3 times a year. Except my family loves each other a stupid amount so that wasn't really enough sometimes. So my mum, fuck I love her so much, would fly over at least once a year for like half a week to a week in those periods that I didn't have a holiday. I'd be studying and doing my thing, trying to keep my life relatively on track, and she'd be there, stocking up my fridge with groceries and making bulk meals to freeze and keep me going for a while. She'd do my laundry. Give the flat a quick clean. And to wind down, she'd go out into the city of Edinburgh (where I lived), which is just absolutely gorgeous. But she did this for me. And when I asked her about it later, she said she never minded it at all, bc she enjoyed being away for a bit, enjoying Scotland and Edinburgh for a bit, and was happy to know I was taken care of. We'd spend our evenings together chatting and eating and watching something. They were times of peace and filled with love.
As an act of love of my own, there was one period where I claimed to not be able to make it home for spring break. I was supposedly too busy, and I convinced her there was no point in her coming over either. I kept a close eye on my family's schedule by casually asking about their weekend, if my sister was staying over with the parents those days, you know, small-talk. (Easy enough when you call each other almost daily, which I did bc I knew it made my mum happy.) I flew over in secret and had a family friend pick me up from the train station to drop me off at home. When I got there, I let myself in with a casual cry of "hello!" we all do when coming home. My family all appeared in the hallway, shocked. My mum was the palest I've seen her outside of illness. She broke down in hysteric sobs and cried for an hour, even as I hugged her as we sat on the couch together. She's ridiculous. She's overflowing with love. She's the most wonderful human being I've ever had the pleasure of knowing, and I'm proud to take after her (even if I am a little less emotional 😅)

♡ How the ocs react to their darling not wanting to give physical affection ♡
♡ The City Version ♡
Tumblr media
♡ So while Theanna is not one of my most affectionate OCs, she does have a list of demands for her darling and one of those demands is you hold her hand as you walk together. She needs everyone passing by to be aware that you two are somewhat romantically entangled. ♡
♡ She needs to hold your hand to feel like she has a strong grasp on you, that you're safely under her control. But if you don't want to hold her hand then she'll just wrap her arm around your shoulder instead and well, she is the crown princess, you can't just refuse her or back away easily. ♡
♡ Rest assured, she can always intimidate the affection out of you. You may as well give her these small things because she will only do something much bolder in order to reinstate her control. Plus she enjoys forcing you on her lap much more than the hand holding that she was previously willing to accept so it does benefit her greatly. ♡
The meeting was tense, all of the council of noblemen discussing the decrease in dragon attacks since the princess took power, meanwhile a servant girl was stationed anxiously on her lap. Gods, you wish she would just make you sit on the floor, that would be less degrading than everyone at the round table knowing that you were her plaything.
She wouldn't call you a plaything, it's too demeaning for her personal attendant, but it really was what everyone there saw you as, including yourself. Why did you have to catch her eye? If you were a noblewoman you'd have been able to refuse, to retire to the countryside and escape peacefully, but you were a servant confined to the castle.
A very well cared for servant, but a servant nonetheless. Someone who had no choice but to sit on her lap during the meeting, all because you refused to give her a morning kiss. Her delusional mind assumed that meant she had to show you more affection, which led you to here. Next time you wouldn't be so quick to refuse.
Tumblr media
♡ For Elisha it really depends on the stage of your relationship. Assuming you are in the beginning, she'll be annoyed but she'll let it go. She adores you but she must let you come to her, she has to remain aloof so you crave her. ♡
♡ Assuming you are in a relationship however, she may crack a bit at this. It really depends on how often it's happening. If it's once or twice she may become irate and hug you extra hard next time you hug her, or she might just distract herself with other things to give you time, she finally has you, she can't overwhelm it. She doesn't know what she'd do if she lost you. ♡
♡ If it's all the time though, she's going to snap, she will never go back to how she was before. For such an aloof yandere, she really needs affection and gods, she hates feeling like she needs someone but it is true, she needs you to give her affection. She can't understand what she did to lose your love like this, but don't worry! She'll do whatever it takes to fix this! ♡
"Baby, you've been distant this week..." Her voice creeped up behind you, causing you to freeze in fear. You'd returned to the inn that you were staying in during her travels only to find the girl who had been slightly nice to you, bludgeoned to death. You knew that Elisha was almost at her limits but you didn't realize she would harm someone who had absolutely nothing to do with your refusal of affection.
She'd become overbearing since you two had become a couple. You thought it was just the honeymoon phase and she'd eventually cool down on the affection, but the more you pulled away, the more she held onto you.
It was unbearable, you couldn't live this way, but apparently neither could she.
"Shhh, it's okay. This will never happen again baby, I won't let it happen, we're gonna be together forever."
Tumblr media
♡ Abigail wouldn't ask for affection until the two of you are together so this is assuming you two are already established as lovers. Once you two are together she expects a reasonable amount of affection, both in public and in private. ♡
♡ She is obsessed with her perfect idea of lovers. Affectionate in public but not grotesquely, and utterly, hopelessly, in love in private. Needless to say, your refusal clashes with her perfect image. ♡
♡ While she doesn't have as much power as Theanna, she has a good amount of power as a top ranking knight captain. She'll force you to stay within her family's manor, constantly being badgered by her family about why you are not being better behaved, you can't bring shame on the name. ♡
You were hiding inside the garden of the manor, you couldn't stand to hear her family try to train you on proper etiquette for another hour. You couldn't even relax around the servants as they also were freaks who took great pride in the family's name. Abigail expected you to return as her perfect lover at the end of this trip however so you were somewhat paying attention.
If you were nice enough you could probably play your cards right and get her to allow you to return to her arms early. For now though, you were stuck being babysat by your future in-laws.
Tumblr media
♡ Prior to you adapting to her, she will be very understanding about you not wanting to be near her. She doesn't love it but she can be nice about it. It's very hard on humans and so she will let you adjust. ♡
♡ Even when you've been together for awhile she's very accepting to you needing a little space from her. Humans really function much differently from her and she has years with you so she will wait, it isn't as if she will never be able to hold you in her arms again. ♡
♡ The only time she demands affection is when you are injured, you can't deny her then. She has to know that you are safe and the only way to know that for sure, is to hold you very closely. Don't you dare fight her, your stubbornness got you injured, she needs to hold you right now. ♡
"If you would stop wandering away from me, refusing to sit in our nice lovely nest that I prepared all nicely for you, this wouldn't have happened. Your stubbornness is less cute than you think it is darling."
Her grip was solid but it was better than her being in dragon form and curling around you so you are trapped. If you kept squirming, she'd have no choice but to trap you with her tail so she's doing you a favor by not doing that. She knows how much you fear her form so please don't make her scare you.

Does this world have a Valentine’s analog? And if so how would the ROs like to spend it (🔨🐕 I’m ready to bonk some demons & a warlock if I need to btw)?
there isn't a analogue specifically to Valentine's Day, but there is one to what is more or less the OG version, Beltane (also known as/folded into May Day, because it takes place on May 1st in the northern hemisphere, though it ironically enough falls on October 31st here in the southern hemisphere lmao). nobody really knows where the tradition came from, but the rumour is that Heart's Rule (the festival in question) and Moon's Shadow (the Samhain analogue) are the two holiest holidays in the Warp, and were taught to humanity by the elves, fairies, satyrs and centaurs who live there.
for obvious reasons the gods don't look terribly kindly on celebrating that sort of thing so in the cities/under the watchful eye of the church the most you'll usually get is fancy themed parties. proposals and marriages are common and indeed fashionable around that time because it's thought that the gods will favour you with luck in romantic endeavours at that time of year, even though there's no specific deity of love or other relationships.
the further you get away from the cities however, the more the festival takes on an element of... bacchanalian excess. you should always be careful celebrating Heart's Rule out in the country though! on a night like that, who can say if your lovely dance partner and their seductive eyes are even human...
as for how the ROs would like to spend it (assuming that they're in a relationship with mc) (under the cut because long lmao):
Arianis prefers the high society balls to the more rowdy parties, surprisingly - it's not that they don't like the revelry, but they tend to attract the attention of too many jilted spouses. taking mc to a fancy costume party and seeing how many betrothals and noble marriages the pair can ruin in one night would honestly be the Highlight of their year lmao
Heluur is not particularly big on parties, for a number of reasons (hard to travel to them, for one thing, and Loud, for another), but he would find the idea of mc choosing to spend time with him on that day very romantic. probably his ideal Heart's Rule night is a quiet night in together, maybe observing some particularly wild hijinks that his friends are getting up to on the chaos mirrors. if you tell him that giving chocolates is traditional, he Will acquire some for your mc, even if the gods only know how.
Lithiana is very happy to throw a party of any kind for any reason, though she'd prefer to keep it in Hell for reasons of not freezing to death or being hunted down by angry Inquisitors. the good thing about that is that demons REALLY know how to cut loose at a party, and they're less liable to accidentally hurt each other than carousing humans (or at least more likely to survive if they do). planning something fun for everyone to do together with mc would make her really happy.
Malkorath is another not-party person; their ideal way to celebrate would be to spend the whole day totally alone with mc, but they don't particularly care what they'd be doing. they DEFINITELY want chocolates though... on this And every other day haha.
Suchebh is kind of ambivalent about Heart's Rule, to be honest. most of the stuff that everyone is indulging in is kind of their ordinary MO already, and it's a bit. Weird for them, the idea of showing up to a party for Someone Else's booze and sex festival. where's THEIR big party huh?? on any given year they're most likely to spend the evening sulking and instructing their warlocks to cause havoc, but their ideal way to spend it would probably be. something centred around them. and if they're lucky, something that can make them totally forget it's happening lmao.
Twilit is not Ordinarily a party kind of person, but they're in a friend-of-a-friend kind of situation with The Horned King who rules over the Warp, so Heart's Rule and Moon's Shadow are their two exceptions, though they prefer to celebrate both of them in the Warp with him. they'd be more than happy to take mc with them... though it's sure to be an extremely wild night.
i hope that helps answer your question!

Rooftop Picnic
Based on the prompt  I got from @newmsies Co-writer and beta reader @newsies-are-the-new-best-thing Hope everyone likes this 💖 Race was two things on Valentines day. Usually a mischief maker or matchmaker. Sometimes a little bit of both. This Valentine's Day Race decided to try and set up Jack and Davey. He was able to see how they pined after each other and a close relationship they shared.
“Ayyye Jack, what's you doin’ for Valentine's Day?” Race asked Jack, sitting down next to him, with as little care as possible, trying to cover up any motive
“Oh I dunnos. Nothin' reallys.”
“Great” Race replied walking away
“ Wait, great why?” Jack asked calling after him, concerned.
Davey was busy cleaning the kitchen which he called the “broadway bistro”, after preparing dinner for the newsies. Race entered grabbing a slice of cold day old pizza from the refrigerator. 
“Whatta ya up to for Valentine's Day?” 
“Why?” Davey asked, curious. 
“No reason” Race replied shrugging his shoulders.
“What are you up to, Race?” Davey asked, eye brows pinched together,  quizzically.
“Nothings I swears, it was justa question thats alls” Race said rolling his eyes.
“Well, I'm not doing anything.” Davey answered, pushing Race out so he could continue cleaning.
Now that Race was sure that Davey and Jack were both not pre-occupied for Valentine’s Day, his plan could go into action. 
He decided that the best way to get Davey and Jack to realize they were meant for each other was to try and set them up on a date without them knowing it really was a date. Since it was already the 14th tomorrow, and Race had no idea how to cook, he believed he could  just grab whatever was in the refrigerator. On the evening of the 14th while most boys were either at Miss Medda’s theater or just wondering the city like dogs without horses, Race set up a picnic on the rooftop. It consisted of day old pizza, that Race hadn’t realized he had to heat up to make it edible to any normal person and the cheapest wine Race could get (which turned out to be grape juice that had gone bad). 
“Hey Davey, Jack come up a sec. It looks like someone set up a little picnic on the rooftop for all the newsies don't have nothings goin’ on.”
Davey and Jack who were just a floor below, counting their earnings for the week, couldn’t hear exactly what Race was talking about. He was always cracking jokes and insistently speaking, so they thought they might as well go and see what he was talking about this time. As they got up to the roof top they observed it was decorated in small fairy lights and looked very romantic. 
“Race, wheres ya at?” Jack called out.
Race was quietly sneaking back down the ladder so Jack and Davey could have some space. 
“That's strange” observed Davey
“Oh I dunno know, its Race. Literally everything he does is strange. He told me once he was born with a cigar in his mouth. Another time he licked a rock and I asked him why and he said he wanted to knows if different rocks tasted different.”
“Well it is pretty up here and looks like there is some food so why don't we hang out?” Davey suggested. 
“Sure. It really is pretty up here”
Race tried to hear what was going on.
Jack and Davey both went to grab a slice of the pizza which was cold. As Jack took a bite, he recoiled a little. It wasn’t cool it was actually cold. Like just taken from the refrigerator. Jack quickly said “Don’t take a bite. The pizza is freezing cold.”
Davey nodded and instead took a sip of the ‘wine’. He spat it out on Jack. It tasted horrible. Where did anyone find it? 
“I think we both know who set up the picnic” Davey whispered to Jack. 
“Mmmmm, it's so great up here, the food and wine are incredible!” Jack declared loudly, giving Davey a smile. They both didn't hurt Race’s feelings. 
After a few more minutes of casual conversation between Davey and Jack, Race was growing tired of it.
He impatiently climbed up. 
“So do you like datin now, right? Like this picnic was super romantic an it just makes people want to get together.”
Jack put his arm around Davey. 
“Actually, Race, we have been dating for a few months, but we’s just kept it to ourselves, since we know how rumors spread real fast ‘round here.” 
“What, you have?! I went to all this trouble of settin’ up this amazing romantic picnic…Well I guess I'm happy for yous two,” Race said, throwing his arms up. 
“Hey just don't tell the otha fellas about us ok?” 
Jack asked 
“Sure, course not. Would never do that to ya” Race said, as he climbed back down, excited to spread the most recent juicy gossip.

“Nothings I swears, it was justa question thats alls” Race said rolling his eyes.
“Well, I'm not doing anything.” Davey answered, pushing Race out so he could continue cleaning.
Now that Race was sure that Davey and Jack were both not pre-occupied for Valentine’s Day, his plan could go into action. 
He decided that the best way to get Davey and Jack to realize they were meant for each other was to try and set them up on a date without them knowing it really was a date. Since it was already the 14th tomorrow, and Race had no idea how to cook, he believed he could  just grab whatever was in the refrigerator. On the evening of the 14th while most boys were either at Miss Medda’s theater or just wondering the city like dogs without horses, Race set up a picnic on the rooftop. It consisted of day old pizza, that Race hadn’t realized he had to heat up to make it edible to any normal person and the cheapest wine Race could get (which turned out to be grape juice that had gone bad). 
“Hey Davey, Jack come up a sec. It looks like someone set up a little picnic on the rooftop for all the newsies don't have nothings goin’ on.”
Davey and Jack who were just a floor below, counting their earnings for the week, couldn’t hear exactly what Race was talking about. He was always cracking jokes and insistently speaking, so they thought they might as well go and see what he was talking about this time. As they got up to the roof top they observed it was decorated in small fairy lights and looked very romantic. 
“Race, wheres ya at?” Jack called out.
Race was quietly sneaking back down the ladder so Jack and Davey could have some space. 
“That's strange” observed Davey
“Oh I dunno know, its Race. Literally everything he does is strange. He told me once he was born with a cigar in his mouth. Another time he licked a rock and I asked him why and he said he wanted to knows if different rocks tasted different.”
“Well it is pretty up here and looks like there is some food so why don't we hang out?” Davey suggested. 
“Sure. It really is pretty up here”
Race tried to hear what was going on.
Jack and Davey both went to grab a slice of the pizza which was cold. As Jack took a bite, he recoiled a little. It wasn’t cool it was actually cold. Like just taken from the refrigerator. Jack quickly said “Don’t take a bite. The pizza is freezing cold.”
Davey nodded and instead took a sip of the ‘wine’. He spat it out on Jack. It tasted horrible. Where did anyone find it? 
“I think we both know who set up the picnic” Davey whispered to Jack. 
“Mmmmm, it's so great up here, the food and wine are incredible!” Jack declared loudly, giving Davey a smile. They both didn't hurt Race’s feelings. 
After a few more minutes of casual conversation between Davey and Jack, Race was growing tired of it.
He impatiently climbed up. 
“So do you like datin now, right? Like this picnic was super romantic an it just makes people want to get together.”
Jack put his arm around Davey. 
“Actually, Race, we have been dating for a few months, but we’s just kept it to ourselves, since we know how rumors spread real fast ‘round here.” 
“What, you have?! I went to all this trouble of settin’ up this amazing romantic picnic…Well I guess I'm happy for yous two,” Race said, throwing his arms up. 
“Hey just don't tell the otha fellas about us ok?” 
Jack asked 
“Sure, course not. Would never do that to ya” Race said, as he climbed back down, excited to spread the most recent juicy gossip.

Okay I made a post about it but now i'll elaborate, Raph is a bit of a nerd for animals. As a tot Raph would sneak out into the sewers and spot things like rats and got curious about them. Bugged Donnie about stuff about them till seeing he could watch documentaries about rats and more. His preface for animals tend to be the smaller ones. Birds, rodents, turtles ect
Like to watch them late at night by himself, he dosen’t need his brothers teasing him for being the animal lover. There is also a few books in room about animals. He also has a few notebooks where he wrote things down in.
This is also where his katsaridaphobia developed, once time well in the sewers he ended up in a nest of cockroaches and it traumatized him a lot.He not a fan of all bugs but Cockroachs are the ones he has an unreasonable fear of.
Likes Taylor Swift
Rapheal has a a passion for art, not just taking part of it himself but also in learning about it. He asked Splinter about his name and it started from there.
Ended up exploring Art himself He took to painting the most, but also draws.Has a sketch book and any art supplies he owns he found in trash bins so it’s normally nearly used up so he has to sparely.
often thats what he is doing when off on his own on the surface looking for supplies he can bring back. Sometimes he gets luckly and kids toss out those ‘art sets’ all artis kids get.
Why did I start with all that? Cause Raph is the far more sensitive of the four turtles. It’s why he so quick to go into his tantrums.
because raph is a bit more in tune with emotions he’s generally kind of good at reading others emotions or picking up on the vibe in a room. He’s not going to approach it with sensitivity mind you
Raph has learned to study other’s body language and it’s part of why he tends to really stare at people when they speak. Of course there are those he can’t figure out and it pisses him off. Like Splinter and to extents Leo at times.
Deals with Anxiety, as well for 2012 Raph I would say it’s more general Anxiety which also explains his quick temper as well. Along with Panic Disorder seeing how he can freeze up at times and has a hard time snapping out of it.
Has a weak stomachache easily grossed out by things and has some motion sickness.
Is overly protective and caring deep down. He loves all his brothers but he isn’t a mushy feeling guy. He would risk his own shell over any of them. A lot of his cracks in his shell are from him taking hits for his brothers. He has no issue risking his own life but he could never risk his any of his brother’s after all.
(I havent fully seen stuff past season 3 I wanna say) But Raph has his Pet Chompy, who he tots treats like a baby hes a pet owner that is  full on pet parent type.
Mikey is his first choice for babysitter if he’s going out. Leos last option mostly to insult the mom of the family uwu
A secret romantic he likes chick flicks, he likes those corny romcom movies too
Of course Leo is the one he fight with the most the two are clear opposites. like fire and rain they just don’t see eye to eye. Yet Leo is who Raph confines in the most. Raph holds a deep respect for Leo but that dosen’t mean he won’t challenge him or his methods.
Donnie and him can be just as bad but they have more verbal fights over physical. But Donnie is who Raph sides with the most as well since they both get annoyed by mikey and will even both challegne Leo’s leadership raphs just more open on it
Mikey is the sibling he gose to when he’s feeling down, and has a very I can mess with them but you can’t stance when it comes to Mikey. Some casey things for reasons uwu
I like to think because these two both demonstrate a like for art, they would make street art together when they go out into the city. Neither of them are gonna care about tagging stuff after all.
Has let Casey seen his unfinished sketches and such cause well he likes his input. 
He can’t tell outright if someone is good or bad but with Casey after fighting with them and such he was able to get an understanding of him. He normally more stand offish but not with Casey, dosen’t even mind when they use him as an arm rest.
Raph loves his brother but spending time with Casey is different. Casey gets him cause well they are like reflections of each other. Anger issues, both like art even  and the fact raph in right handed and casey is left adds to this for me.
Raph can be a bit more transparent with Casey, he may still get embarrassed but Casey likely the one to know most things about him. And if he teases him its not as bad compared to his brothers.(a bit more protective of his imagie with his family)
In return Raph will give Casey the same if he wants, he may tease Casey but it wouldn’t be out of Malice intent.
Because Casey and him are similar he also can see what they might need so he tends to push Casey a little to get them to fess up, looks its how they talk yelling punching it’s a way to communicate.
