—HAIKYU!! various ; how deep is your love?

a/n ; [gn!reader] kinda fem implied in kawa's and kuroo's 😓 do yall like the new layout?? c: suggestive if you squint extremely hard in kuroo's .. i honestly dont know if im writing this timeskip or pre timeskip its 3am 😣

— characters : oikawa, osamu, tsukishima, hinata, sakusa, kuroo

part 2 ! ♡ akaashi, kenma, kita, semi, kageyama, suna

jade vine !

tooru oikawa ; SWEET / I THOUGHT YOU WANTED TO DANCE - tyler the creator, brent faiyaz, fana huez

has 'i love you' wars and he MUST win or he will tackle you (affectionate)

takes the BEST candid photos of you and puts so much love into the following insta post. has you as his wallpaper too (please match with him) (he'd also have a highlight just w pics of you😞)

please NEVER do that 'wipe their kiss off' trend because he will actually not talk to you for DAYS and gets all sulky until you apologize. (he will get all cocky all over again)

core memory from his teamates. bae was explaining to his teamates about new volley nerd talk blablabla and they notice his nails painted in a faint pink (for a fun date night, thinking no one will notice)

issei BURSTS out laughing and instantly points it out. now seijoh4 NEVER lets him live it down

always the first person to notice when you use a new shampoo or perfume.

cuddling, (you being the little spoon╰(*´︶`*)╯♡) you can feel his breath hitch when his lips reach your neck

before you could ask why he's stopped inching closer he's already manages to whisper out, "did you start using a new shampoo?" yes. yes you have

do his skincare with him please ! he loves it. he loves when he places you on the bathroom counter and you wrap your legs around his waist, he loves when you're so gentle with the toner, he loves when you graze your delicate fingers over his beautiful long lashes, he loves when you make sure you don't cut him when snipping the face mask so it fits a little more snug, EVERYTHING. (he is sunoo coded)

osamu miya ; good looking - suki waterhouse

loves your tummy SO much. doesn't care about shape or form, he just likes the feeling that you're being fed. squish. or pat. he loves it. have i mentioned he loves your tummy?

when his dad leave the twins at home its always osamu at the stove, please keep atsumu in a 5 mile radius AWAY from the kitchen

SPOON FEEDS YOU. please i need him. on days you're too tired to move a muscle, days where you're too sick to open your eyes, be prepared to feel his hand on the back of your head and one below your chin ready to feed you!! once you've sat yourself up he feeds you so gently... osamu miya i need you

when you're really tired from work, he will send meals to your workplace. if you work at home and sees you barely able to keep an eye open, you will see his hand under a spoon of your favourite meal. he's not the best with it, but he's trying 🥹 he means it with all his heart and hearing you say the food is really warm in your stomach, his heart feels warm too (о´∀`о)

my mans is SNATCHED. slide your hands around his waist, poke it a little do WHATEVER. your hands have probably been on his waist more than his hands on yours.

i think his core is pretty well built. have we seen it in the anime or manga? maybe. but from what i've seen, his physique is very 😳 (a tad bit better than his brother's i fear)

cooking together!!! different recipes each date, basking in each other's presence. its always so fun and the results are always almost flawless!

at one-point y'all were making cupcakes, it was literally osamu baking them and you decorated it.

AND OBVIOUSLY the basic, he would routinely give you handmade onigiri, in different shapes, flavours and whatever you like ✨

kei tsukishima ; the only exception - paramore

kinda scowls at you when you put your hands under his shirt but secretly really loves it so when you slither your hands away he instantly places your hands back and make sure your hands STAY there. bonus points if you have warm body temperature. he likes the feeling of your warm hands on his slightly colder body.

his wardrobe has drastically evolved from muted tones to slightly lighter and vibrant clothing ever since you insisted on getting matching stuff!!

WILL say he is not a jewellery person but collects, keeps and takes care of all the little trinkets you give him DAILY. he has a little sticker on the edge of one of his books and a little moon sticker on the end piece of his sports glasses

he also defineitely has really thick curly blond lashes. you say they are one of his charming points but he gets all flustered. when you insist to put clear mascara on them, he doesn't really look like he has a problem with it 🥹

what could his ahh possibly be listening to with those headphones on so often (real)

sends you playlists at an insane hour that go for insane amounts of time. but i KNOW his taste is immaculate. every song always gives you goosebumps or makes your heart tighten

please do a spotify blend with him (he was gonna ask you, but you beat him to it)(he was shy)

oh AND the shared playlists actually are insane!! so much good music all at once?? crazy yall 😭😭 (wave to earth, cody fry, the smiths, daniel caesar, rex orange county)

shoyo hinata ; intro (end of the world) - ariana grande

honestly, out of all these men HINATA SHOYO is the BEST candidate for taking care of a person except himself. has no limits in his stamina, and will only listen to you when you ask him maybe its time for a break. does he overwork? not necessarily. does he work too hard? yes, in a positive way. please remind him to eat because he will forget sometimes

he will NEVER admit he likes being the little spoon LMAO he finds being vunerable in your arms a tad bit silly, and it bugs him. after a long week of practice games and insisting kageyama and yachi to practice with him the instant he falls on the bed, he finds himself melting into your touch. your voice gets a little more buttery and he loves it, falling asleep instantly

hes probably a hard sleeper too 😭 he wont wake up till he feels your cold hands on his face or the sunbeams from the curtain literally bleed into the sheets and steal its colour

PLEASE STROKE HIS HAIR. he loves it. he absolutely loves it. again, melts into your touch like ice-cream. his heart will feel tight and he has a lil' blush 🥹 whats even more priceless is his lips slightly agape after hes fallen asleep... how can you NOT love this man

one of the only boys on this list who will LET you put little pink bows or style his hair in braids and clips. (if you're imagining timeskip hinata, you have attempted to put a little bow around his bicep but you underestimated its size and it BROKE. gosh what an experience)

DANCES WITH YOU EVERYWHERE!!! omg i love him so much. doesn't care if you have two left feet, he just loves the feeling in his heart when he sees your smile as he spins you around. in the rain, in big empty rooms, in the kitchen, anywhere.

loves the idea of promise rings or little trinkets that ensure he gets to have you forever!!

kiyoomi sakusa ; washing machine - VANISHING GIRL, rosemary fairweather

PLEASE braid this man's hair. 😞 he pretends to despise it and thinks you don't notice when he literally melts under your touch. he feels safe 'nd comfy and hopes it lasts forever, when your hand retracts he has a lil' pout

notices when you've been wearing your favourite hood for a couple days straight, has a little scowl under his mask and throws one of his jackets at you. he only gives you the wind-breakers that are 100% cotton or the ones he just knows you like.

he uses this as an excuse to share his clothes with you. its safe to assume its his love language under-cover!

HE IS SO ASS WITH PDA all you get is him giving you hand sanitizer before eating meals or snacks. its only you though, don't tell him that.

BUT sometimes when he feels like it, he will take your hand and put it HIS pocket so "your hands are always sheltered from germs" now what type of bs is THAT. (you love this bs)

can be snarky. sometimes he gets the slightest eenie meenie miniest bit cocky, and its very noticable. has the ability to be a little bit of a tease but not in a pestering way more like a little smartass way LMAO.

tetsuro kuroo ; never lose me - flo milli

always has his hand in the back pocket of your pants. that was it. thank you for coming to my ted talk. (to feel your butt? no idea.)

tutor sessions always unbearable. either you're too busy staring at his biceps, or you're sighing that he's made a little pop quiz for you!! tell him it sucks please

if he notices it gets a bit too much or overwhelming for you over the week or before study dates, insists to take you out instead (what a gentleman!! kuroo tetsuro come into my life)

extremely consistent with routine. good morning and good night text DAILY no matter how busy he is, he WILL find a way (i like to think its his way or the high way #kingofprovocation /hj). very good at getting the things he wants in a non-manipulative way but with simply logic and brains

yeah as captain hes no. #1 but he is also no. #1 waist CLUTCHER. his hands are always on you somehow even in the slightest way, but never pervy. he just likes having his hands on you! bonus points if you have hip dips, he loves it so much. he finds it as a perfect spot to place his hands on (btw ppl w hipdips yall are BEAUTIFUL!! 🥹)

i feel as he has a possessive side as well. small, but more noticable compared to someone else. will not hesitate to stare someone (or recite chemistry nerd stuff 🙁) down for looking at you a little too long :3

when he sees you post or sees himself in your instagram or tiktok dumps, his heart tightens a bit in the best way possible. when you mention him in the post he only reacts with a heart but he's actually going insane

How The Two of You Sleep - BNHA

PART 1

Katsuki Bakugo

Katsuki would be the kind of guy that would completely deny any kind of affection until he really got his guard down, meaning, he is totally unconscious when he finally grabs you in a cuddle, one you will never escape! Mwahaha!

~ If only you knew how nervous he was! ~ How he didn't want to hold your hand in case he let off an explosion by accident and hurt you. ~ How he wanted more than anything in the world to hold you close to him but he didn't want you to hear how fast his heart was beating. ~ The two of you were sat studying, until you eventually got tired, already in your pyjamas, you grabbed your boyfriend by the elbow and pulled him into bed. ~ As you begin to fall asleep, Katsuki keeps his distance for a while, you were a bit upset, but felt sure he had his reasons, so you left him, choosing to sleep closest to the edge of his bed. ~ Once Katsuki had finally managed to relax, you could feel his arm wrap around your waist, he seemed to do it subconsciously, he pulled you away from the edge of the mattress and into the safety of his arms.

Izuku Midoriya

I can picture Izuku wanting to be as close to you as possible, but would be way to nervous to be able to do so! I definitely think you would be the one to initiate any affection, that includes while you're both sleeping.

~ 'What do I do!?' Izuku thought to himself, as the two of you were lying in bed, him still wide awake and panicking, you slowly drifting off. ~ 'They're really close! Do I try and bring them closer? Would they get upset and push me away? What if I give them space and they get mad and break up with me!? Think I don't want them! What the f-' ~ Izuku's brain rant was interrupted by the person in question. ~ You had gotten even closer, he could vaguely smell your hair, it was lovely! N-not that he was being creepy on purpose!!! ~ Not only had you gotten closer, you had cuddled up into his chest, your arms around his waist, soft puffs of air leaving your open lips. ~ Izuku's panic went away quickly, the warmth of your body calming him down, almost instantly.

Shoto Todoroki

Once again, I feel like Shoto would be super nervous about sleeping with you, even if the both of you know, it was JUST sleeping, but the thought of being so close to you, when the two of you had barely gone further than a peck on the cheek and holding hands, was making him a bit anxious…

~ Picture this: Shoto lying stock still in bed, wearing more clothes than usual, so as not to freak you out (I feel like because of his quirk, he would sleep shirtless, boy runs hot!), as you lie virtually on top of the poor thing, moving your head on his chest to either sit on his hot or cold side. ~Shoto would be the best to sleep next to during any season, he could tell when you were too warm or too cold and would adjust his body temperature to make sure you were comfortable. ~ It would take him a while to get used to the feeling of you being SO close to him, he could feel your breath against the skin of his neck and was sure you could hear his intense heartbeat. ~ But once he did get accustomed, he would gladly accept any affection you can give him, poor touch-starved baby, he would hold you as tightly as he can without waking you. Bonus! Shoto would wake up first every morning, making sure not to move you until you had gotten to sleep in, at least a little while, he would wake you up with little kisses all over your face, changing his temperature, tickling you with chilly smooches!

Eijiro Kirishima

Big Man Eijiro! Biggest cuddle bunny, he would definitely scoop you up and cuddle you, just because he wanted to! But he would also take 'No' for an answer, if you wanna be alone, he would leave you alone! Consent is super manly!

~ Eijiro could see you were feeling down, he wanted to make you feel better in any way he could! ~ "Babe!" He called, causing you to turn your head and gaze those sad eyes up at him. He walked over to you and picked you up, bridal style of course, most manly way of carrying his precious cargo. ~ "Let's go take a nap, been missing ya!" ~ With that, he takes you to whoever's dorm room is closest. ~ Eijiro sits on the bed and keeps you in his lap, his strong arms keeping you as close to him as possible. ~ Every time you try and lift your head, to protest or question, he gently places his big hand on the crown of your head and moves you back to snuggling up against his shoulder. ~ Eventually you got to sleep, your hands softly gripping onto your boyfriend's shirt. ~ Smiling at your peaceful expression, Eijiro settled down to sleep with you, making sure not to jostle you too much.

Denki Kaminari

No shame! Absolutely none! He will pull you away from conversations, hang up on your parents when they call to check in and get in the way of your studying until you're forced to nap with him! It's his right as the boyfriend!

~ "Baaaaaby!" ~ You could hear Denki calling you, sighing with a smile and already closing your Heroic History textbook. ~ You got up from your desk, making a nest of pillows so you could at least be comfortable when you were tackled. ~ Speaking of which, your boyfriend has found you… ~ Denki had opened the door to your dorm room, "You ready for this?" He asked with a smirk, trying to be flirty, wound up looking like the most adorable dork ever. ~ Rolling your eyes with a grin, you raised your arms, ready for the hug you would be receiving whether you liked it or not! ~ "YAY!" Denki shouted, before tackling you onto the bed, nuzzling your neck and trying to get as close to you as was physically possible, he was on top of you, your legs tangled with his, as the two of you settled into a nap.

Bonus! I can picture Denki getting either too comfortable, or too excited around you, especially when sleeping, that he would get a bit sparky. Tiny shocks have woken you up before, but you couldn't get mad when your boyfriend looked like he was practically purring!

Hitoshi Shinsou

Tired boy! Needs cuddles! Sort of like a mixture of Denki and Eijiro, he would steal you away for secret naps, especially after Aizawa's training sessions. You were going to nap with him, dead or alive… Sorry, too dark?

~ Hitoshi was getting more and more frustrated, upset that he wasn't able to find you and he'd looked everywhere! ~ He'd bothered your friends, your family, but seemingly didn't search the obvious place, the place you met up, literally everyday. ~ His dorm room… ~ "There you are." He was always a bit blunt when it came to the end of the day, he was way too tired for formalities, but he still greeted you with a light kiss and you guys chatted for a while, before he made his move. ~ He shifted you into his arms, happy with the way you were settled in his lap, against his chest, he was against the mountain of pillows and blankets on his bed. (You can't tell me he wouldn't have the comfiest room, other than Aizawa…) ~ He would get comfortable and be asleep in minutes, this was the moment you had been waiting for. ~ Hitoshi would never let you touch his hair, even though he loved it, it seemed too intimate to him, at least whilst he was awake, he was happy to let you do it when he was unconscious. ~ And you did, happily running your fingers through purple candy floss strands!

[planet-dusk]

Can we have any jisung loving tiny cuti boobies thoughts? Slurping them like pudding poof all disappeared in the mouth

Ahem sorry for the pudding

love love cute lil boobies 🥰

i feel like jisung would appreciate boobs in all shapes and sizes and yours are no exception

he doesn't have big hands anyway so they're the perfect size !!

the type to give them names and talk to them,, even more so if it makes you laugh

he'd make sure to give them plenty of attention with both his hands and his mouth (mostly his mouth)

kissing n nibbling and tugging your nipples between his teeth until you're squirming underneath him <33

would def try and see if you can cum from nipple stimulation alone (would view it as a challenge)

when he discovers how sensitive you are he's determined to find out how far he can push you..... using nipple clamps and vibrators to test your limits

having itty bitty titties means you don't always feel the need to wear a bra and jisung loves being able to slide his hands underneath your shirt and cup a feel at any given moment

especially when you're out in public bc your surprised squeaks are adorable

speaking of shirts, he loves the sight of your nipples poking through the thin fabric,, it instantly gets him going

i feel like he'd love pierced nipples as well

the way your chest looks covered in his cum is a sight he'll never tire of

loves to clean you up by licking said cum off your tits

shibari: he can't get enough of the sight of your torso wrapped in beautiful silk or red rope

he also loves to fuck your tits. jisung will find a way even if you think they're too small for it — pushing his cock between your skin and the cute lace bra you're wearing, getting off by the delicious friction

bonus: being a small tiddy gf with a big tiddy bf means he can wear your bras n look just as pretty <33

Headcanon!!!

So basically from these pictures.

I love how cuddly IV with III is. My head canon is after each of their ritual IV will instantly lean onto someone (it's usually III or II) when they finally hit the bus. Being cuddled with each member throughout the way to their hotel.

IV learned it from vessel, that man would totally being affectionate towards everyone else (not only the band member, but also the crew) when IV joined the band, he will frowned whenever he saw Vessel being a little bit touchy to other people, it's not like a disgusted face expression, but it's more like a total confusion. He is the one who hired him to be in this band and that applies to everyone else (Except for II) so why does everyone so nonchalantly getting along with him? Shouldn't it more like a boss and an employer relationship? That could also applies with II, but IV found II less intimidating than Vessel. II could instantly notice the frown on IV's face and all of them respected his personal boundaries. But than after a couple of months, IV noticed it, it's their habit to show not only affection, but also making sure everyone is alright since every each of ritual is really exhausting. and he felt like a total outcaster because everyone still seems really distance from him, at that time he thought that perhaps because he is the new one in here and IV feels like everyone are building a wall around him.

But that doesn't last long, until one night after a ritual Vessel suddenly felt the weight beside him and as he look down, he found IV who leaned his head onto his shoulder with a half sleepy face. IV was too tired to wrapped his head around his surrounding, and when he felt an arm wrapped around his shoulder and rubbing his arms gently, he looked up and jolted when he found out who it is. He thought that was III who sits beside him but turns out his intuition is wrong. IV just mumbled "sorry" But Vessel make sure that he shouldn't apologize for that. Vessel guide his head to lean onto his shoulder again and that night IV just realized, perhaps he is the one who building a wall around himself.

Now IV is a totall puppy, chasing every one body heat after each ritual, and will cuddle the very first person he could encounter at the bus.

BONUS :

Some III and IV for you because i love them with all my heart

[shenanigans-and-imagines]

any thoughts you have regarding Gale and Clara meeting for the first time?

A/N: Okay, so I have been really thinking about this, so bare with me. Also masterlist for context.

I think Gale, along with the rest of the party get a chance to meet Clara some time during Act I of the game

Again, I haven't played, so I can't say exactly where Clara would be, but I do think it's important for Gwen to know she's somewhere safe and cared for before she can go any further in the story, so they'd need to take a detour

Gwen has an amulet that at least allows her to know if Clara is in immediate danger; after the crash the amulet hasn't been glowing so Gwen has assumed Clara is safe, but it doesn't stop her from worrying

Eventually the party come across a group of survivors who are all part of the village Gwen is from and among them is Clara

So the first time Gale sees her, she's a blur of blue skin and red hair rushing into her mother's arms

Gwen has of course talked about Clara up to this point, but I don't think her being a tiefling has been brought up

Gale is surprised at first, but getting passed the blue skin and horns, it's clear enough how much Clara resembles her mother

Clara isn't what anyone would call shy so as soon as she sees the rest of the party, she boldly demands to know who they are

Astarion gets prickly, Shadowheart raises an eyebrow, Lae'zel likes the cut of her jib, Karlach is delighted, Wyll is a bit taken aback but has to smile, while Gale quickly corrects their apparent rudeness and introduces himself making a point to shake Clara's hand

Clara appreciates, holding her chin up as she tells him it's very nice to meet him too

The rest of the party make their introductions and soon enough they get settled in

Still working out the finer details, but definitely a small quest to make sure this group of survivors have some place safe to stay; possibly leading them back to the grove

Either way, there is a good chunk of time for Gwen and Clara to be reunited and Clara to endear herself to the rest of the party

She's a very curious little girl and is constantly asking questions or wanting to show off some cool rock or stick she found

Very much that kid that always comes home with a bit of dirt on their nose and something in their pockets

This is also where she and Gale get a little chance to bond as she is instantly curious about his magic; she's seen her mom perform magic, but his looks different

Gale does not tire of her questions and the pair of them can easily get into a "well did you know" loop if not stopped

Gale can easily see why Gwen was so eager to get back to her daughter, and frankly wouldn't blame her if this is where they part ways

However, with the worms in their head and the threat of the Absolute Gwen decides it's safer for Clara to stay with the survivors while they go off in search of a cure

Gale knows how difficult it will be for Gwen, from what he's seen it's obvious how much she loves her daughter and chances are this is the longest they will have ever been apart from each other

So, before they depart, Gale crafts a two way mirror; it's not his best work, but it will allow Gwen and Clara to stay in contact allowing them to speak with each other for about ten minutes every day

It takes every ounce of Gwen's self restraint not to kiss the man, and settle on just hugging him instead

He makes sure to show Clara how it works as well, assuring her that she'll see her mother again in no time; all of them were going to make sure of that

Bonus: rough picrew of Clara

s/o surprising them by wearing lingerie for them with the judgement boys? maybe what sort of lingerie they’d prefer too?

Here u go 💕 A bit of modest spice for the evening

Yagami:

Imagine this tired, exhausted man coming home after a long, hard day of work, and entering the apartment, just to find you sitting and waiting for him, all pretty in your lingerie. Yagami is gonna be speechless for a few seconds, and would probably do a double take, glancing at you for a quick second, before immediately taking a second look, not quite believing his eyes.

Once he’s gotten over the initial shock, he would wander over to get a better look at you, a small smile on his face as he asks ‘is this for me?’. His hands would immediately be on you, running over the delicate fabric of your lingerie, his eyes roaming over your body thoroughly. He’d get this glint in his eye, and he’d look about ready to just eat you up.

He’d grab a fistful of the material at your waist, before kissing you heatedly. He wouldn’t even bother taking it to the bedroom, he’s just going to pull you down on to the sofa with him, desperately trying to shove off his jacket without breaking the kiss.

Lingerie probably drives this man a little crazy, so expect him to be a bit more passionate and rougher than usual when fucking.

Yagami loves anything lace, and would find darker colours more seductive, so black, red, royal blue, hunter green, etc. He would adore it if you wore a lace teddy/bodysuit. Bonus points if it’s crotchless, so he doesn’t have to take your pretty lingerie off. He would probably prefer it without stockings, as he loves your bare legs and soft skin.

Kaito:

Kaito would pretty much die of happiness and horniness. He fucking adores lingerie, and as soon as he sees you in it, he’s gonna let out an incomprehensible shout of surprise, eyes widening comically. He’d immediately come rushing over to you for a closer look.

You’d have to put on a little show for him, those are the rules. You’d have to sit him down, give him a little twirl so he can take a look at every inch of you, and then place his hands on your body, letting him grab at the material and feel you. He is gonna be in complete awe.

It won’t be long before you two move to the bedroom, heatedly making out together on the bed. Kaito would likely accidentally rip the lingerie in his eagerness to get you naked. Whoops.

He loves all lingerie, but he is a sucker for skimpy little costumes. Dress up as a sexy bunny, seductive maid or a naughty nurse for him, or anything that gives him a good view of your tits and ass. He would also be a big fan of thigh-high stockings and fishnet stockings, and would probably leave those on you whilst fucking you.

Higashi:

A bumbling fool at first. For a ‘tough’ Yakuza, he really is the ultimate babygirl. Higashi is gonna catch sight of you waiting and all dressed up for him, and he’s instantly going to become visibly flustered. His lips would part in surprise, his cheeks would flush, and his eyes are gonna widen.

You’d probably have to go over to the man and ask him what he thinks, as he would be frozen, not really knowing how to react. Tease him a little, grab his hands and place them on your hips, a clear invitation. Kiss him too, and he will soon relax and get over his initial surprise.

Higashi will just be mesmerised by you. Once you two move to the bedroom, his gaze will just be locked on to your body, watching every movement through the skimpy material as you ride him. He’ll be gripping your hips so hard, the material of your lingerie bunching up and pulling so much under his grip, it’s a surprise he doesn’t tear it.

Higashi would love his partner wearing babydolls or a chemise, something he can slip his hands under to caress your warm, soft skin. Bonus points if the material is sheer/see-through.

Sugiura:

This man would be so confused when he gets home, and you don’t go to greet him with your usual big hug. He’d go round the apartment looking for you, initially freezing in surprise once he finds you waiting for him in the bedroom, dressed in lingerie. It’s probably the first time you’ve ever seen him speechless. He’d recover quickly though, teasingly asking you ‘what’s all this?’, as if he doesn’t know you’re attempting to seduce him.

He’d approach you, eyes raking over your body appreciatively, and he would start fiddling with the lingerie. For example, hooking his fingers under straps gently, or running his hand over the material.

He’d turn it into a little game almost, he’d be acting all coy, and not wanting to make the first move. Just shove him down on the bed and climb on top of him, and it’ll put an end to his smug antics quickly.

Usually when he bottoms, he’s a little brat. However, this time he’s just completely under your spell. He might try to act coy, but he can’t resist you when you dress up all sexy for him.

Sugiura would love strappy lingerie, like a bodysuit or teddy, but with straps weaving over your breasts, around and down your waist, and across your hips. He would prefer pretty, pastel colours on you too.

[kyouka-supremacy]

Sskk headcanons for you, my liege:

- Akutagawa visits Atsushi's ADA apartment, and is horrified that his jinko sleeps in a closet. He takes Atsushi mattress shopping, but blindfolds him first. That way, Atsushi can't see the price tags, and will be honest about his preferences.

- Atsushi makes homemade sweets for Akutagawa, because he knows Aku has a sweet tooth.

- They go on lots of festival dates, especially during the summer. Neither of them got to experience a normal teenage life, and it's a nice break from their insane jobs. Kouyou handmakes yukata for them, and Yosano does Atsushi's hair. Akutagawa is always awestruck at how pretty Atsushi is. They walk around for hours, playing games and eating festival food, holding hands. During the fireworks show, Atsushi sometimes falls asleep with his head on Akutagawa's shoulder.

- Being around Atsushi physically relaxes Akutagawa, because he knows (even subconsciously) that Atsushi will keep him safe. He sleeps best when he's laying next to his jinko (especially when Atsushi plays with his hair.) Bonus points if Atsushi is purring-- it'll put Akutagawa straight to sleep.

THANK YOU THESE WERE ALL AMAZING all your ideas are absolutely blessed and get instantly integrated in my canon belief system, I don't even know how you do it.

Atsushi sleeping in a closet as a concept only keeps delivering, and it's only made better when you add Akutagawa to the scene? Did he comment on how cats like to be in boxes. Did he make a “talk about being in the closet......... ” joke. But most importantly how did he find out? Was he visiting Atsushi's place for the first time and he sat down on the only bed there and the exchange happened “get off, that's Kyouka's bed” “What do you mean Kyouka's bed? Where the hell do you sleep?” “I sleep in the closet” “... You sleep in the closet.”. Never getting tired of the potential this has, and the concept of Akutagawa blindfolding him, I can't, that's too cute 😭😭😭 Like yeah that would definitely happen!!! Because Akutagawa is all about this kind of silent acts of care, and Atsushi would probably never allow him to buy something expensive for him knowing the price tag. This is all so cute.

And I'm ALL IN for Atsushi baking for Akutagawa that sounds like something he would definitely do!!!! The kind of domestic activity he never got the chance to do but that he really wants to catch up on now. Also Atsushi basically forcing Akutagawa to eat because Akutagawa can't say no to Atsushi. They're so cute they make me sick.

But yeah ultimately it's all about sskk exploring what it feels like to have a normal life and catching up on everything they've missed together, and it's so cute, it's one of my favorite things. They probably have a never-ending bucket list of all things they consider “normal” and slowly fill it together. They watch a lot of movies (especially for kids) and go to amusement parks together a lot and of course festival dates!!! Akutagawa always has his breath taken away by seeing Atsushi, but like, that's just Ryuunosuke Akutagawa for you. And the concept of Atsushi falling asleep on Akutagawa's shoulder 😭😭😭 Akutagawa probably going into internal combustion even though it's like the twelfth time that happened.

And I AM a firm believer Akutagawa can only really fall asleep with Atsushi like. That's the only thing that still keeps my sleepyhead-Akutagawa belief standing although he canonly only sleeps like four hours. He can only sleep with Atsushi because Atsushi is the only person who can make him feel safe! Also this

Thank you again for your blessed mind long live sskk

I can just imagine Stone just loving the fact that Nikto bonds with parallel play because Stone's favorite interactions are mostly just him being in the same place as others. Like he'd totally sit down with a medical book or a book on astrology and be in the same space as Nikto or any of the other SpecGru team.

Also I feel like Stone would just melt right then and there if Castle gave him any type of attention. Castle thanks him for doing the bare minimum which is patching up someone on the SpecGru team? Stone's cold and stoic demeanor is wavering and he's now hooked onto getting that man's praise.

I do wonder what Castle would do if he found Stone wandering the halls at night, because Stone often wakes up from flashbacks and his thing is usually to go to one of the 141 to cuddle to go to sleep but now they're all refusing to let him into their rooms (because they're all too busy with either each other or trying to get Reader to not be mad at them) so he's just roaming around the area hallway between the 141's barracks and the SpecGru's barracks. He's like a lost puppy, okay? Stone had a rough childhood and so he's cold and stoic because he doesn't know what it's like for someone to care about him.

As far as Nikto is concerned, 12+ hours of logged parallel play in which you don’t annoy him is considered friendship. He will now make sure you don’t die in the field, congrats.

But Castle believes very much in looking out for his own, and since the 141 is doing a piss poor job of claiming him, Castle will be happy to. That includes wrangling him into his room for some rest. Even if he doesn’t get Stone to sleep, he’ll stay up with him and make sure he’s not just wandering and tiring out his body.

Bonus points if he just shoves Stone into the cuddle pile. Nova and Reader are snuggling up on either side of him instantly, hugging his arms. Probably aren’t even really awake.

Finds you very tolerable. Riddle only acknowledges you as the newly assign nurse of NRC and nothing else. Though he is curious of what species you are considering you almost look like a beastman like Leona yet the ears you have arent identified of any creatures he ever heard of. It was after the overblot accident and during he's time in the infirmary where he get to know you more and appreciates your company.

You and Trey are good friends. You two would always bake some sweets and goods for either the Tea party in Heartslabyul or for the patients in the infirmary. During Chapter 2, Trey was amazed when you use heal pulse on him considering healings spells are kinda hard to master so he makes sure that he would return the favor later on.

You can say that Cater kinda has a crush on ya. He loves how cute you are and always posts every moment with ya in Magicam, especielly pictures of you working and using your moves either during P.E. or in the Infirmary (where she would reprimanded him about him posting such things without her permission)

Adeuce are always drawn to trouble, whether intentionally or not, so you always stick by their side and make sure to prepare a bag of needed necessities in case of them being hurt.

{Short}

*WHACK!*

"Ah!?"

Ace, Deuce and Grim yelped when a piece of folded up paper smack them behind their heads, which is held by none other than the hearing pokemon. "Uwah!? Why did you do that-?!" Grim quickly shut he's mouth up upon seeing the dark glare that you are giving "Why!?" The trio flinched back "Why!?" You slowly walk towards them "Do I even need to tell you!? I have told you a million time to study for the exam and what did ya do? Nothing! And what else? You made a deal without even thinking first, and its even considered cheating-!!"

Jack watch the whole scenario from the door frame while the unfortunate three souls suffer a scoulding from the Pokemon.

🦁SAVANNACLAW🦁

Leona dislikes you. You didnt just became a pain in the neck by just snooping and trying to solve why the students got hurt but you also heal them like they werent hurt in the first place. After the overblot incident, Leona got acquainted with you and thank you for the help you had done for him. Also, whenever Cheka visits, he would always dump the responsibility onto you as you would instantly care for the kid with no hesitation.

Also finds you as a hindrence into the plans but secratly, Ruggie appreciates you as you would sometimes sense him being stress and tired from all the work he had done so on occasions where you prescription him to rest, you always gave him some treats and even doughnuts for him to enjoy during he's needed break.

Saw you a few times but didnt exactly mind you until the events in Chapter 2. During the fight to prove yourselves to him, Jack was kinda shock at how good you are and how strong some of your moves are like pound during the fight. Soon afterwards he became your friend and great comrade especielly during Chapter 3.

🐚OCTAVINELLE🐚

Azul was very interested at the 'magic' you have and tries to have it to himself when he first saw you used it until you discuss that you are from another world and that the magic you is actually isnt exactly magic at all. None the less, Azul plans on finding one way or another until after he's over blot incident where Azul just apprecietes and treasures your time and caring nature to him, as you would use your special hearing to make sure Azul is mentally stable and move on from he's troubling past.

Very interesting. Jade follows you with he's brother to see what they could find to go against ya until it kinda back fired with both of them being whack in the head by a folded piece of paper for spying and disturbing her. Yet despite all of that, both of you are in good terms and would make small talks in the infirmary.

Floyd just wants to squeeze ya! You are just so cute and cuddly! Especially after he tried to do so in the infirmary, where he ended up (thanks to Jade) and got smacked behind the head for doing so. You always find Floyd abit hard to be with but add some treats and some funny stpries and you both are sold.

🏜SCARABIA🏜

An Audino? Whats that!? Kalim quickly asks you a bunch of questions in astonishment at hearing that you are from a new world and an entirely different from the beastman in Twisted Wonderland. You two are great friends from the start and would trade some treats and fruit during lunch time and I would imagine that during Chapter 4, you tried to help Kalim with he's sudden 'Mood swings' to calm him down and to try to reason with him.

Jamil finds you a hindrance to he's plans especielly your hearing. You can simply tell that he is lying from he's heartbeat and that he is nervous when the Azul, Jade and Floyd. When he threw them out he had kept you, considering your power a great addition to he's own as you became a cute little servant to him alone. After the whole incident, Jamil was kinda shock at how forgiving you are as you can understand that he just wanted to be first for once yet you had to be therapist once more to make sure that he is in great health (with you giving him extra attention to help with it)

👑POMEFIORE👑

You would always go to the dorm for Apples to be used at the infirmary yet Vil would pull you aside and check to see if you had taken care of your hair, skin, and etc. He would be greatful that you prepare exceptional meals during training in Chapter 5 to accommodate for their needs and wants for the final performance.

Rook would instantly stalk you like he would do to any prey one who had caught he's eye. You werent oblivious. You would always whack him and lacture him that what he was doing can be disturbing and distracting yet the Pomeifiore student didnt discourage and kept on doing he's routine.

Sometimes, you see yourself in Epel. Everyone can mostly underestimate you because of your looks and purpose in work, so you sometimes showed them that Audinos are strong and arent weak in battles. You and Epel would always have a nice break of bake goods and teas whenever you two have the time togather.

⚙IGNIHYDE⚙

What is this? A DATING SIM!? Idia was very curious about you, especielly after the meeting in Chapter 2, yet he can be very timid, shy and even stubborn of actually meeting you, especially on check ups. The only way you can get him out or let you in (forcefully or not) was to trick him into thinking that Grim was with her, which he had fallen every time.

You love kida and Orthro is just a sweet little bean. You loved how loyal and cheerful the little bot is, especially to he's brother. Orthro kinda reminds you of a Rotom in a machine so you two kinda discuss about the mention pokemon, much to Orthro glee and excitement.

🐲DIASOMNIA🐲

Malleus can sense you are some type of fea. Though you ard a normal type, as you had explained to him, the dragon fea cant help but kinda doubt what you had said due to what he had somehow felt a fea essence in you but he let it slide. For now. And considering how you dont know him and that you feel he's loneliness, you two are match made in heavan.

Oya? Lilia became intrigued once he had saw you in the entrence ceremony. He may live a long time, longer than Malleus but there some things that he may not know. And you are one of them. You two being parental, you both would discuss and have fun telling stories about the youngs ones from either worlds and their history to one another.

You always brought a pillow for Silver or prepare your Hyper voice for him to wake up. When you heard that Silver always sleeps, you were kinda worry for him until Lilia points out its kinda normal for him. Silver appreciates your effort of helping him with he's sleeping spells as you would prepare coffee or anything that could wake him up...though he kinda hates when you had to use Hyper voice.

See's you as a capable and reliable nurse to help Malleus-Sama, though you have to repeatedly wack him a thousand times to remind him to tune down he's voice whenever, or atleast in the infirmary, to not stress others or make their ears bleed.

☆BONUS!☆

❤HEARTLABYUL❤

You had used your evolution during Riddle's overblot incident at the dorm.

After the battle, Crowley demand of what you had just done and what had happened to you, where you had explain that you mega evolve.

The Heartslabyul quintet are amazed at the otherworldly power up that you had fone back there.

Asked alot of questions and even sometimes sparred with (Ace, Deuce and Riddle only)

(P.S. All three of them lost)

🦁SAVANNACLAW🦁

Ruggie and Jack were taken back at the sudden transformation that you just display.

The two were Amazed at how strong you had became after you had mega evolve to defeat Leona.

In the infirmary, You had explain to them about the transformation and it suprise yet intrigued them that you can "evolve" and gain a power up.

Leona even ask if he can have a Mega stone too but you had remind him that he aint a pokemon like her.

🐚OCTAVINELLE🐚

The trio, like the other two dorms, are also amazed at the new information that they were introduce you.

Floyd once asked to spare with ya.

Lets just say that he now considers you as a formidable challanger.

Jade and Azul on the other hand asks you about how it works and what it is.

🏜SCARABIA🏜

Mouth drop Kalim was really not expexting you you transform while Overblot Jamil had also the same expression yet hide it beneath he's scowl and quickly want to gain the power you had.

After the whole fiasco, the duo were taken back.

I mean, who ever heard of a type of power up that involves bonds between two people.

Yet the two understand (mostly Jamil) that you are from another world and that it is different from theirs.

Many curious questions are asked later on.

👑POMEFIORE👑

Both eyes of Epel and Rook were widen upon the transformation you had.

Overblot Vil took it as a challenge as to see who is stronger and more fairer consider that your appearance had change too.

Once the whole mess was all over, along with the VDC, the Pomeifiore trio were gained in on the lecture of Mega evolution.

Epel mentally wish that it had exists in Twisted Wonderland to show others that he is more than just a pretty face like you.

Rook has stars in he's eyes.

Vil is astonished at the type of power up that he had never seen or heard of before, which is kinda understanding.

⚙IGNIHYDE⚙

You mega evolution was the reason at being in S.T.Y.X. in the first place.

Refused to speak about it or even displaying it, much to the organization's frustration.

After the whole mess and returning back at Ramshackle, you explain once more to the Shroud brothers of what you done during the past Overblot fights.

I swear, you already practice this with the past dorms.

Afterwards, Idia and Orthro understands and agree to keep your hidden power up a secrat to ensure your safety.

Considering how you had help them before.

🐲DIASOMNIA🐲

Malleus seen you in your mega evolution form during the VDC event.

Soon, you had gather the other three students of Diasomnia to discuss and tell them about mega evolution to succumb their curiosity.

Lilia is truly interested at the topic. In all he's years, he have never seen such power up before, along with Malleus.

Malleus was right when you had mentioned that you had became a Fairy type during your mega evolution.

Adding another explanation later.

Silver and Sebek were amazed at this new information and reacted on it very differently.

Sebek somehow sees you as a threat to he's master and tries to make sure that the prince is in safety distance with ya.

Silver on the other hand accepts it and is interested on the ways and how you mega evolve.

[arrowmaker15]

Headcanon: I feel like Jason Todd would be the unlikely supportive sibling/friend. Like any problem anyone has in the BatFamily, he's right there to help.

Like, let's say Dick is having a bad day. Dick and Babs got into an argument, and Jason notices that Dick is in a bad mood. Head down, no jokes whatsoever. Jason being Jason, decides to cheer him up by taking Dick to a circus and talking the manager into letting Dick perform. It cheers him up instantly.

Tim being Tim, having been up for the better part of two weeks living off of pure coffee and adrenaline is wobbly, has bags deeper than the Grand Canyon under his eyes, despite being told by everyone to sleep, is working in his apartment. Jason hears about this and talks Tim into letting him take over while Tim gets some sleep. Neither of them ever mention Tim sleeping on Jason's shoulder after watching Frozen.

Damian is having trouble in school. He's the outcast, the black sheep of the classroom and is having trouble making friends so he is getting bullied, but he has been told he can't fight back. Jason hears about this and talks to Damian, telling him he can't cripple the guy, but a few bruises won't hurt. Damian doesn't get bullied anymore, and the victims of the bullies sit with him at lunch.

Cass is having trouble communicating with everyone due to her upbringing. Jason finds her sulking on a building one night and approaches her, using perfect ASL to speak to her. She's surprised but she responds in ASL also. The meeting on the rooftop becomes multiple meetings during the day and at night, Jason teaching her how to write then to speak. Everyone (except Jason) was surprised when Cass gave her input on the situation, in fluent English, during the next all hands on deck night.

Jason visits Barbara one night needing something decrypted only to see her staring up at her batsuit from her wheelchair. Instead of getting the device decrypted, he clocks her off and tells everyone to talk to Tim for tech help, then he spends the rest of the night hanging around Barbara, talking to her like he did when he was Robin. She didn't even glance at her batsuit for the next week.

Jason runs into Stephanie, literally, while on patrol. When he sees her appearance, which is not great at the time, he asks what's wrong. Apparently, not only did her father break out of prison but her mother is trying to get her to come home and talk to her dad which was staying at her house. Now she had nowhere to sleep, she only had her suit to wear, and she was slightly scared. Jason, without hesitation, offered a place to stay at his safehouse. Well, not really offered, but dragged her to his safehouse, tossed one of his hoodies towards her to sleep in, and forced her to lay down in his bed to sleep while he took the couch. If her crashing in his safehouse when she was too tired to go all the way back home and him losing a hoodie everytime it happened became a regular occurrence, nobody had to know.

Duke, being the only one that patrolled during the day, naturally felt like an outsider in the BatFamily. He constantly stayed silent during family meetings and only spoke to them if required. Until Duke woke up one morning to find Jason eating cereal in his apartment, wearing his uniform except the helmet. Jason went on patrol with Duke that day, despite Duke's protests. It became a regular occurrence after awhile. One day every week, Jason would spend the whole day hanging out with Duke during the day and they bonded, a lot. Duke spoke up during meetings and didn't feel like an outsider since one of the originals accepted him. He still laughs his ass off every single time a criminal sees the Red Hood in the DAYTIME because their faces are priceless.

Bonus: On the bad days where he wakes up from nightmares or goes deep into self-loathing, distancing himself from everyone, the BatFamily take turns in roping him into activities to distract him. On special days like his birthday or the day he died, they all at once get him back to the manor and they cancel patrol to be there. Jason appreciates this, but doesn't voice it. Ever. He's too proud for that.

Need need NEED cedric and reader fic where hes all sauve and confident in front of her when everyone expects him to fuck up and shes all shy and bothered iykwim;);) bonus points if they're "friends" who everyone obv ships

I'm ngl, this ask was a little hard to answer because Cedric has such few moments where he's confident on screen ☠️☠️ he's such a dork, I love him 🫶

Either way, sauve Cedric is still a guilty pleasure to think about. I hope I can nail down the vibes like you requested! I also wasn't sure if you meant by "friends" they were in a pre-established relationship or not, so I left it sort of ambiguous 🌝 but don't worry there's still plenty of shipping content if that was your intention!

I also decided on a whim to make this a christmas-y fic, cuz Christmas in the summer! Why not!

Dance With Me

A Fic by Bettathanyou

. No trigger warnings, except tooth rotting fluff and the coy implications by our sauve sorcerer 🤭🫣 this fic is inspired by the episode Cedric Be Good, because seeing Cedric dance with Sofia makes me obsessed with the idea that he's a good dancer.

It was the week before Wassailia, and everyone in the entire kingdom could feel the excitement grow palpable in the air. Though Wassailia always brought out the mirth and child-like wonder in nearly everyone's heart, this year felt different; whispers among the castle maids promised a party thrown in Enchancia like no other.

Normally, gossip amongst your other castle coworkers was more unwelcome noise; however, you kept your ears perked as you caught wind that this year, the common folk of the kingdom were formally invited to the Wassailia ball.

You tried to dismiss the notion at first, unconvinced that your rulers were that altruistic.

To your surprise, the King made a public degree the very next day, confirming the rumors to be true.

As much as you would appreciate the royals efforts to bridge the gaps between nobility and the common man, the gesture seemed more of a burden than a blessing as you toiled with triple your usual workload on such short notice.

Sighing in contempt, you take a small moment to sit down to rest your aching joints and tired feet. You take a rag from your dress pocket, wiping the sweat from your face and neck. Your eyes trail lazily around the half decorated ballroom- multicolored streamers, bows and flowers slowly finding their way into every crevice.

Just as you were getting comfortable, younger servants entered the ballroom; the two of them chittering away at decoration placement off to your right, disturbing your peace and quiet. Biting back harsh words, you glare venom at their backs in a heated silence. You take in a sharp breath, exhaling slowly as you rub your temples with your fingers.

"What if we meet a cute guy from the village?" The taller girl spoke in between sheepish giggles, and her counterpart barks out a laugh that echoes off the walls.

"C'mon, get real! We're at a royal ball, darling," the girl chastises her friend, shaking her head. The tall girls face falls, but before she can reply her friend flashes her a toothy smile.

"We shouldn't be looking for village men, we need to find a noble one!" They both pause for a moment, then immediately start laughing together. Hugging their sides as their laughing fit ensues, the noise reaches a fever pitch and their laughter feels like stakes being hammered into your skull.

Normally, you'd at least laugh a little bit, albeit sarcastically. However the stress has been building fast between a few days, even moreso than you originally thought. Anxiety and rage do a dangerous dance in your chest, and you don't know whether you should cry, laugh, or scream.

You had to get out of here, and quickly. Somewhere where it's quiet, and no one will disturb you. At least for ten goddamn minutes.

As soon as you had set your goal, the perfect destination popped in your mind.

Cedric's workshop.

The thought instantly made you feel lighter, happier. Your mouth twitched in the ghost of a smile. While still overwhelmed and angry, the hope of spending time with Cedric already was soothing your shot nerves.

You shoot up from the floor, slinking off to the doors leading out of the ballroom and into the hallway. Luckily the girls were preoccupied with their conversation to address you, and you knew how to be inconspicuous. Reaching your hand to push the doors open, you quickly step forward, making your escape a success.

Shockingly, the route to Cedric's tower wasn't as busy as you had thought, given the circumstances. Polite greetings towards your peers were exchanged in haste, and you had to keep your hand glued to the cold stone walls of the servant tunnels to keep you grounded.

Taking the next exit that leads towards Cedric's tower, your footsteps quicken subconsciously. Exiting the tunnels a few minutes later, you scurry down the hall and up the staircase leading to Cedric's door.

With your destination finally in arms reach, you let out a breath you didn't realize you'd been holding. Now, your body feels heavy, sluggish; the giddiness of seeing Cedric has finally worn off, and in place was an ache that set deep in your bones, straight down to the marrow.

You lean against the sturdy doorframe, knocking timidly on his door. You wait, hearing movement beyond the door. Footfalls creep closer, and you close your eyes and listen to the familiar shuffle of Cedric's pace.

A loud groan escapes the door hinges as it swings open, startling you from your stupor. You lazily straighten yourself upright, your hand still leaning on the frame to give you extra support. Plum colored silk fills your vision, your eyes automatically flicking upwards to meet warm mahogany irises.

"(Y/n)!" Cedric's brows rise in obvious surprise, his head cocking to the side like a slightly confused yet happy puppy.

Coupled with his rich brown eyes, it really sold the look. A small laugh bubbles up from your core before you could register what your response was going to be.

His previous puppy-eyed look was now replaced with a more common unamused stare, a slight pout at his lips. He leaned on the door frame, his usual slouched spine straightening to his full height. His head was angled down towards you, making his silver bangs frame his face in a way that made your knees weak.

"Well, darling, if I had known you'd come all this way just to laugh in my face, I'd at least put on a jester hat for your arrival."

Every word dripped with sarcasm and attitude, but the glitter of humor in his eyes and the corners of his mouth stretched into a smart ass smirk betrayed his bluff.

Your heart leaped into your throat at his pet name for you, but you swallow your reaction for now, opting instead to engage in Cedric's banter.

"You'd do all that for me?" You shoot back with a smile, trying to feign innocence as you look up at him through your eyelashes.

Cedric's biting smirk immediately vanished, his face becoming momentarily unreadable. He raises a gloved hand to his face, self consciously rubbing his cheek.

What wouldn't I do for you?

It was the only words that came to Cedric's mind; staring down at you, all other thoughts vanished within those (e/c) pools he has fallen for. He felt the heat of blush being pulled to the surface of his skin, so strong it permeated through the leather of his gloves.

It was then you both noticed that neither of you had said a word in a good minute, only staring into each other's eyes. You felt your skin tingle with embarrassment, and you both broke eye contact swiftly.

Cedric coughs awkwardly, trying to remedy the situation.

"So, what brings you here, (y/n)?" He offers the question gently, his hands wringing together in a nervous habit.

"Peace and quiet," you grumbled back, more irritation propelling your answer than you had planned.

He laughs dryly, shaking his head at you.

"So you came here?" Cedric eyes you incredulously, his whole body leaning on that last word for more emphasis.

"There was nowhere else I could go." You answer in a defeated tone, the pull of your tiredness making your body sag. You quietly sigh, staring down at the ground.

"I know you're busy- but if it's okay, I only need ten minutes." You ushered the words out quickly.

Before Cedric could respond, you continue speaking.

"I understand completely if you can't spare the time, though." You added apologetically, rubbing your arms to help soothe yourself.

"I always have time for you, (y/n). I didn't mean to come off as rude. I-I apologize. I only me-meant to say that-" Cedric tumbles over his words in a frenzy, and you cut him off with a small but reassuring smile.

"I know what you meant, Ced. You don't have to apologize." You cooed affectionately, your gaze now level with the sorceror.

Cedric stops and holds your stare, your voice sounding as soft as velvet to his ears.

"Right. Of course," Cedric nods to himself, almost in affirmation. After a beat, he wordlessly steps aside, his arm beckoning you inside.

"Thank you." You say with sincerity, your eyes momentarily meeting his again. A shy but sweet smile was his response to your thanks, and it was better than any words he could've said back. You burn the image of his smile into the back of your eyelids, along with the countless others you daydream about.

"I'm going to just head upstairs, if that's alright," You turn to Cedric, awaiting his approval.

"Go right ahead." Cedric waves you off, and you bound up another flight of stairs for the day. Just as you were going to sit down on the plush chairs that sat next to the wall of bookcases, Cedric's voice called out to you from below.

"Did you want something to drink?" He asked expectantly.

"I can't, I'm working tomorrow." You replied without thinking, then immediately as the last syllable left your mouth you realized that wasn't the kind of drink he was talking about.

"Haha, very funny." Cedric answers, and you swear you can hear the eye roll in his voice.

"I misspoke that time, actually!" You called down from the balcony, correcting him. He gave a quick hum of acknowledgement, then you heard a cabinet opening along with the soft clinking of metal utensils.

"So, is that a no on the tea, then?" Cedric asks you again, and you think about your response.

"...Yes! Wait, no, I mean-yes, I would like some tea... please." Your voice dies off at the end of your sentence, and you let out a groan of frustration at your lack of ability to speak.

Cedric says nothing, but you swear you hear him chuckling downstairs over the sounds of him assembling your tea.

"I'm tired, leave me be!" You jokingly scolded him, but he gave you no response. With a final huff, you settle into the soft exterior of the chair you sat in. You lean your body weight into the supple cushions, and you swear it almost brings a tear to your eye.

You close your eyes for a moment, the darkness bringing relief and the stillness of Cedric's workshop made your tense muscles finally unbind themselves. You already feel the urge to sleep weighing you down further into the chair, and for once you don't fight it.

You awake again with a startle, your eyelids flinging open. You whip your head around your surroundings, your eyes finding purchase against the warm amber glow of Cedric's own eyes. He raises his brow at you, continuing to drink his cup of tea.

Your eyes then fully take in the scene in front of you: Cedric was seated across from you, with a simple metallic tea kettle and two cups of tea was splayed out on the dark wooden end table.

"How long did I sleep for?" You ask hurriedly, your heart starting to hammer.

"Just long enough for your tea to cool down. Should still be warm though," Cedric nods towards your cup, and you take it into your hands. You hesitantly take a small sip, and you nod in affirmation of Cedric's comment.

You take another drink, bigger this time, and set your cup down gently. You feel a little embarrassed, having Cedric see you sleeping. You thumb the soft porcelain cup in your hands nervously, staring down into the rich tea inside it.

It's the same color as his eyes, you noted mentally, the realization so sudden that you couldn't help but let a soft chuckle escape your lips.

"What's so funny now?" Cedric prompts you, his body slightly leaning forward in interest. His eyes have taken on that sparkle, akin to a cat's, that surfaces every time he's curious about something.

It made your heart flutter.

"It's nothing," you smile coyly, shaking your head dismissively.

"Really..." Cedric trails off with an arched brow, his eyes not leaving you.

"You know I'm too curious and too stubborn to play this game with me, so out with it." Cedric shot back, his eyes boring into you with a mischievous and smug glimmer.

You sigh, knowing that you've been checkmated. You feel your skin flush as you summon your courage to speak your thought aloud.

"I just... I found it funny, that this tea is the exact shade of your eyes." You murmured pensively, picking up your cup to drink so you would have a distraction.

Cedric doesn't answer immediately, and you eye him from above the rip of your teacup. His normally fair skin took on a reddened hue, his hair falling into his eyes as he stared his cup of tea down.

Your lips curve into a smile against the delicate china, and you finish your drink.

"I... I suppose it is, yes." Cedric swallows thickly, and you try to bite back your smile. Cedric fidgets in his seat, clearly flustered and trying to play it off.

Seeing his reaction lights a fire in you, and the tea only adds to the warmth you feel growing in your stomach.

"Thank you for letting me sleep, by the way," you finally spoke, delicately trying to redirect the conversation.

Cedric's skin was still flushed, but you notice his body relaxes a little bit.

"No need to thank me- I didn't really do anything." He shrugs you off, but still offers you a smile.

"Well... You made me tea, at least, and I haven't thanked you for that yet. So... thank you," you nod to Cedric in thanks, and his smile grows across his face.

"...You're welcome, (y/n)." Cedric responds, his voice audibly softening at saying your name.

For a moment, you wish that the peace of this moment could last forever. You sigh contentedly, but soon after reality comes creeping back into your mind.

"Ah- will you be at the Wassailia ball, right?" You suddenly ask, your spine straightening.

"Of course- the royals need their entertainment, after all." Cedric snickers, and you snort in amusement.

"What do you have planned?" You prompted, but Cedric only gives you a pointed look.

"What?" You asked, and a laugh rumbled in his throat.

"You'll just have to wait and see, my dear. Can't give away all my secrets- I'm sure you understand." Cedric shrugs apologetically, and you agree.

"Then that means I'll have something to look forward to." You flash Cedric a cheery smile, and he immediately flushed again.

Before he stutters out a response, your eyes suddenly shift over to the clock on the wall nearby.

"Shit," you cursed under your breath, already rising to your feet.

"Time to go?" Cedric asks, his voice thick with melancholy.

"Wayy past time, I'm afraid." You say with a laugh, but you notice the light dimming in his eyes a little.

"But it's like you said before- I'll always have time for you." You spoke in an uncharacteristically bold voice, holding his gaze to drive home your point. You felt your cheeks light up, but you refused to shy away or hide them this time.

Cedric's eyes light up again at your words, but it was different than what you're used to. Instead of a mischievous glint, or a smug glimmer, or a curious sparkle- it was like a smoldering ember, searing holes into you with an unwavering look.

You were the first to break out of the stare, excusing yourself so you could leave.

You trudge down the balcony, your footsteps laden with dread at the workload you still have to finish. You sigh deeply, lingering near Cedric's door to say goodbye. You turn to the sorcerer, a somewhat longing look in his eyes that makes you shy away.

"I'll see you at the ball, then..." You trail off awkwardly, your hand resting on the door handle. You were never really good at goodbyes, and Cedric was even worse at it.

"Yes- I'll look for you after the magic show is done?" Cedric drawls out hesitantly, and the gesture surprises you a little bit. Cedric was never one who enjoyed parties; usually after he was done performing for them, he would retire back to his chambers.

"Of- of course," you stuttered, more out of shock than embarrassment.

"Then it's a plan." Cedric nods in affirmation, and swiftly turns to his workbench again. You smile a little, taking in one last look of him before turning back and exiting through the door.

____________________________________

Time Skip To The Wassailia Ball~

The crowd that gathered around the stage where Cedric stood erupted into a standing ovation, with the high walls and arches ceiling of the ball room making the cries and applause deafening.

You were cheering and clapping at first, but the volume has turned painful and you opted to cover your ears until it died down.

Cedric was standing in the spotlight, a huge Cheshire grin on his face. He humbly bowed in thanks, which made the people cheer again. He basks in the praise with an unparalleled joy you rarely ever seen out of Cedric.

You wore a smile so huge it hurt, but at the same time you didn't care. Seeing Cedric this happy was worth more than any jewel the cheering royals beside you could own.

He then turns to exit through the drapes behind him, stopping one final time to bow before the audience. You let out a laugh, which drowned in the sea of cheers and whoops.

Slowly, the crowd dispersed again, with people breaking off into larger chunks or turning to each other to chat about the show that was performed.

You decide to break off from your position, heading towards the sides of the stage to wait for Cedric. You stand restlessly for about ten minutes, flashing awkward smiles at passersby and trying not to look too obvious that you're waiting for someone.

Suddenly, a tap on your shoulder makes you yelp in surprise as your body whips around to the source. Cedric was standing there, an apologetic look already on his face.

"You scared the hell out of me...!" You exclaimed bitterly, more upset at yourself for being caught off guard than Cedric scaring you.

"I tried calling your name two times! But you didn't hear me..." Cedric insisted, his tone somewhat defensive but still apologetic.

"Sorry, I was just caught off guard." you huff, swiftly ending the argument.

"Anyways- your performance was amazing, Cedric." Flashing him a smile, you see the giddiness swell in his eyes.

"Did you hear the way they cheered for me, (y/n)?!" Cedric exclaimed in amazement, his hands clutching his heart.

"I sure did- I was there, cheering with them!" You nodded in agreement, relishing in Cedric's happiness.

"I know- I saw you there, in the crowd! I almost waved to you, actually." Cedric continues, speaking excitedly.

You chuckled at his comment, but before you could reply you spotted a group of about ten richly dressed noblemen and women approaching from your peripheral.

You silently point towards the crowd, getting Cedric's attention.

"I think some of your fans want to meet you," you say coyly, giving Cedric a catty grin. Cedric scoffs, but he still wears a huge smile on his face. You haven't seen this man smile so much, and it fills your heart in places you didn't think existed.

"I'll let you chat with them while I wait for you near the drink table." You give him an endearing clap on the shoulder, but there was a slight hesitancy in the way he looked at you. You shot him a look of puzzlement, and he adverts his eyes.

"Are you sure? I don't want you to be alon-" he starts, but you swiftly turn his body around and give Cedric an encouraging push towards the nearing nobility.

"I'll be fine- you should enjoy this!" You hissed, your hands already leaving his back. You sharply turn on your heel, leaving Cedric no opening to run. Your feet carry you to your agreed spot, grabbing yourself a random glass of carbonated liquid.

You watch, your heart melting at the sorcerer mingling with the royals now surrounding him. Cedric definitely seemed nervous, but if the royals were talking about magic, then Cedric would definitely talk anyone's ear off about it. You see him laughing at something, and you chuckle in return.

You fix your eyes on your drink, raising it to your lips. As the liquid went down your throat, you sputter at the fire consuming your windpipe. You eye the glass with trepidation, quickly setting the rest of your drink aside.

"Well, I suppose it's Wassailia- they wouldn't want to spare any expense on the drinks..." You muttered, training your eyes back to Cedric.

Now he was actually talking animatedly, his hands gesturing with gusto. As you watch, you almost don't notice how the background music has changed into something more lively. You only noticed as the general crowd around you responded in turn, everyone shuffling to grab a dance partner.

Suddenly, you felt very aware that you were standing alone, in the middle of a Wassalia ball.

Your eyes shift again to the spot you last saw Cedric, only to find he was missing. Your heart dropped; the first mental image coming to your mind was the arm of a charming, wealthy, noble woman snagging Cedric for the first dance of the ball.

You grit your teeth, and you weren't sure if you were cringing at the idea of it or the way your body flew into a visceral rage over the thought. You shake your head to try and clear your mind, squeezing your eyes tightly for a moment. You listen to the melody of the music, the stringed and wind instrumentals soothing your nerves.

You slowly open your eyes again, and a splotch of dark purple immediately makes you stand at attention. Your eyes dart through the sea of cloth and silk, trying to find that familiar plum stained silk you caught a glimpse of before. You're itching to plunge into the sea of paired couples, but you restlessly stand in place, recalling your own instructions to meet at the drink table.

Then, as if by magic, Cedric appears through the masses, and you excitedly wave him over. His lithe frame slinks through the crowd with grace, his eyes never leaving yours.

If you were being honest, you were quite impressed by the fluidity of his approach. You watch with an amused smirk as he finally squeezes past the last wave of people, his tall frame coming towards you.

"I see you came back unscathed," you joked, chuckling a little.

"Would you like to dance with me?" Cedric blurted out, his eyes going wide; It was if he was just as surprised as you for offering. You both stare blankly at each other for a few seconds, actually processing the question.

"I-I..." You stammered nervously, your gaze shying away from his warm amber eyes. Even though your eyes were downcast, you could've sworn you saw his whole body droop in disappointment.

"No- Cedric, that's very sweet of you, but I- I can't dance. I got two left feet, seriously-" you force the words out of your mouth as quick as possible, trying to salvage the situation and not make Cedric upset.

A small part of you was screaming for you to take back your decision to decline- you were just upset about being alone in the middle of a dance, so why did you just pass up a good-no, perfect opportunity?

"W-Well... If your adamant about your decision, I won't pester you," Cedric fiddled with his robe sleeve nervously, and his eyes shifted to avoid looking at you directly.

You go to open your mouth, but Cedric speaks again, cutting you off.

"However; I just want to point out that as long as you have feet, you can dance. A matching pair isn't even required." Cedric looks at you with a pointed smile, one eyebrow raised-almost in a challenge.

The words you had prepared shriveled up in an instant, as you were thrown off by the unexpected comment. You finally let out a laugh, but it came out short and rough, almost like a bark.

"I-I don't know, Cedric. It's not that I don't want to... but I really don't know how to dance." You admit slowly, feeling your skin prick as you confess.

"If you're willing to learn, that's half the battle. I don't want to brag, but- I'm actually quite good at dancing. I'm sure we could get you familiar with the basics, if you'd like." Cedric offers again, this time with a more confident air.

"I've never seen you dance," you eyed him with a skeptical look, but a grin was already halfway spread across your cheeks.

"If we keep bickering, you never will." Cedric says in an exasperated tone, but you could see his lips twitch to keep himself from smiling.

"..Alright, fine." You reply, raising your hands up in mock surrender. You take in a deep breath, exhaling as you reach out your hand to the sorcerer in front of you.

"Perfect- just in time for the waltz to start from the beginning." Cedric says with a giddy hum, immediately taking your hand into his slender gloved ones.

He promptly turns around to face the crowd, practically dragging you to the dance floor. Each footstep you took felt like you were wading through mud, with weights attached to your ankles. Your heart began to beat faster, anxiety clawing its way from the pit of your stomach and nestling into every inch of your body.

You know your hands were starting to sweat, and you were grateful that Cedric always wore his gloves so he wouldn't notice.

Through the crowd, you miss all the surprised and shocked eyes on the two of you.

To the side, unbeknownst to both of you, Roland and Miranda watch from their thrones with amused glances.

"Looks like they're getting along well, Rolly." Miranda nudged her husband playfully, and he smirks in satisfaction.

"So it seems." Roland agrees with a nod.

I'll admit- throwing the ball so suddenly was a hard plan to execute, but this definitely makes it all worth it." Roland laughs, eyeing his wife.

"Does cedric- know how to dance?" Miranda whispers lowly, covering her mouth sheepishly.

Roland shrugs lazily, watching the pair part the crowd of his subjects like Moses and the red sea.

"I suppose either way, we'll find out." Roland snickers, and Miranda swats at Roland's chest forcefully.

"Hey-!" Roland protests, but Miranda dismissed his cries with an eye roll.

"Let's just focus on them being happy together, hm?" She tilts her head towards Cedric, and Roland agrees with a weary sigh.

"Alright- it's simple enough; one hand on my shoulder, the other I'll hold to help lead the waltz." Cedric instructs clinically, with you promptly following his instruction.

"Then, all that's left is to mirror my movements to the rhythm of the music- it'll help if you keep a metronome going in your head." You look at him, already feeling confused and you two haven't even moved yet.

"Right..." You feebly answer back, not fully meeting his eyes for fear they would betray your confusion.

"Here, like this; one-" Cedric shifted his foot backwards, gently pulling you towards him to prompt you to step forward.

"And two-" Cedric swiftly shifted his body to the side, his hand lightly squeezing your hip as he pulls you to match his movement. The gesture, while meant to just teach you the ropes, made your heart hammer wildly in your chest. You feel your face getting hot, and you feel a little light headed as you begin to sway per Cedric's instruction. You find your hands gripping onto Cedric's for better support, your eyes glued to your shoes in fear of tripping.

"Ah ah- eyes on me, (y/n)." Cedric tutted, his hand sliding off your hip to raise your chin up to meet his gaze. His fingers barely graze below your jaw, and it's like he somehow stole the breath from your lungs. You feel the heat from his hand, radiating through your flesh; or maybe, that feeling was from your blush- that had made your skin feel like it was on fire, creeping from your cheeks all the way down your neck.

Staring up at the sorcerer, you notice a sultry grin is now plastered on Cedric's cheeks. While his skin held the delicate rosy tint of blush, his eyes held that same blazing look from the last time you visited Cedric in his workshop.

You gulped, and while you opened your mouth to speak, your words failed miserably. Nothing but an involuntary giggle shot out, moreso from shock and being horrendously flustered.

Cedric chuckled at your speechless state, his hand leaving your chin to settle back to its previous position. You almost let your eyes fall back to the floor, but you were caught again by Cedric's honey golden gaze engulfing you.

"Very good; now let's try that again-" Cedric praises you, raising his brows to signal for you to follow with his step. You manage to copy it decently well, given your inexperience. Cedric shows you the rest of the basic steps to a waltz, and when you're finished, you notice the instrumentals changing once again- your eyes dart to Cedric, and you try to hide the look of fear you have behind your thinly veiled confidence.

"Just in time, it seems..." Cedric murmurs, a playful smirk tugging at his lips.

"For what?" You glanced over him suspiciously, but you had a bad feeling you already knew what Cedric meant.

Cedric laughs, with a mischievous glint in his eye that is all too familiar.

"To show me how much you've learned, (y/n)."

Your eyes widened with horror, but before you could squeak out any protest, the couples on the dance floor were lining up to begin the dance over again. You hurriedly join the others lined up on the left side of the ballroom, squeezing through the inches of free space between two other servants you're acquainted with.

"Y/n!" The servant exclaims in an excited whisper, shock written all over her face.

You manage to give her a strained smile, turning your head back to listen for the change in melody as your cue.

"I saw you with Cedric- was his dancing as bad as I think?" She snickers, leaning in towards you for an answer.

You turn to glare at her, but as you do so the music changes. Your eyes pricked at the sound, and begrudgingly you whip your head back to attention. The waltz begins as you walk towards Cedric, and the words of your acquaintance ring through your ears once again.

With gritted teeth, you join Cedric's embrace, his hands meeting yours in the same way as before. Your hands grip onto his body tightly as you both began to dance together.

"Are you alright?" Cedric asks lightly, wearing a purposefully neutral expression.

"Of course, never better." You brush him off, not wanting to spoil the moment. You can see the doubt lingering behind Cedric's gaze, but he doesn't press you further.

Exhaling a tiny sigh of relief, you regain your focus back to dancing with the sorcerer in front of you. The two of you sway to the music, and your shocked at how easy you caught on to the waltz. You both glide across the polished tile of the ballroom, the music propelling your bodies together in sync.

Cedric gazes down at you, and you struggle to hold his stare. The lights that hung from the crystal chandeliers splayed out on Cedric face handsomely, accenting all of his facial features in a play of light and shadow. His bright brown eyes flickered in hue as the light hit them; a dizzying display of copper and gold, amber and honey. Coupled with the way his silver bangs glowed like a halo as he moved, to say you were spellbound was an understatement.

"You seem to be catching on beautifully," Cedric purrs, his eyes crinkling as he gives you a smug smile.

Snapped out of your trance, you rush to respond.

"You were always a good teacher, Cedric." You state simply, but your cheeks warmed from giving him a compliment.

"You think so?" He hums back, his cognac eyes lighting up at your words.

"You made a dancer out of me of all people. If anything, it's an understatement." You confirm with a cheeky smile, and he bashfully adverts his eyes for a second.

"You're too generous- but, thank you." He sheepishly replies, his fair skin now tinged pink.

You let a soft chuckle slip past your lips as he gently leads you into a twirl, his arms providing you an anchor as your body spins.

Feeling bold, you accelerate as you reach the end of your twirl, standing on your toes as you do so. Turning back to face him again, you suddenly feel your ankle give out from under you.

It happened so suddenly, you didn't even have time to react at all. All you could do was watch as the world moved in slow motion, and feel your heart drop as your body sinks to the floor. Accepting your fate, you await the pain of hitting the hard, cold tile of the ballroom floor.

However, it never does. Your brain doesn't register what happened, but instead of the harsh, unforgiving floor beneath you, you feel lithe arms and silken sleeves wrapping taut around your body. Your eyes slink upwards, meeting the frenzied state of Cedric's bright brown pools.

You both stare at each other, frozen and unable to reach for any words to say that could remedy what just happened. Your eyes feel as blown wide as Cedric's, and your jaw hung slack as you felt your body catching up with itself. His face was mere inches from yours, and a curtain of dreamy silver bangs just barely tickled your cheek. Though his face fell into shadow, you can clearly see the blush seeping into his skin. His lips were parted slightly, as if he caught himself before he could scream. Your fingers twitched, and you now noticed that one of your hands was practically buried into his scalp. You dared not move your hand, but even still you could feel the softness of Cedric's ebony locs in your grasp.

Your heart ricocheted from the pit of your stomach into your throat, where your pulse raced frantically; your empty stomach nowfilled with butterflies and twisting into knots.

With the new position you find yourself in, it looks as if he dipped you dramatically as the music reached its crescendo- which, to your surprise, made you giggle.

After another few seconds, you break into full laughter, shaking your head at the ridiculousness of it all. With the tension broken, you feel Cedric's chest vibrate with laughter, in turn egging yours on. Despite being in the middle of a ball room, you two continue laughing without a care in the world.

As your laughter finally dies down, Cedric slowly and carefully pulls you back up to a standing position. Your head swam as he hoisted you upwards, and instinctively you leaned into his chest for support.

"I suppose I spoke too soon, huh?" You grumbled sarcastically into his robe, and you hear the laughter he tried to hold back in his chest.

"Perhaps- At least, you could've warned me before trying to twirl like that." You feel his eyes on you, and shyly you step away from his embrace to stand facing Cedric.

"Right... Sorry- I got carried away." You apologized sincerely, the embarrassment now catching up to you. You couldn't think your body could feel any hotter than before, but you're soon realizing you're mistaken.

Cedric shoots with an unreadable look, and for a moment your flashing hot body turns to ice as you fear he's upset with you. You stall your breathing, eyes locked in his unnerving stare.

"W-what?" You finally ask, cringing internally as how pathetic your voice sounded.

"You know... This may sound strange, but-" Cedric pauses, staring at you a moment more before stepping towards you. You try to step back, but your body doesn't budge. You turn your head to decipher the problem- now realizing now that his arm has already found it's place against your back.

With his free hand, Cedric cups your cheek into his palm and directs your face back to his. You're completely speechless at this point, and your brain is so fried from being flustered that any motor skills you had are long gone.

"I think I like it when you get carried away..." Cedric chuckles lowly, his eyes holding those same sparks that make a fire light deep down in your belly. You try to crawl around in your brain for any comeback, quip, or smart remark- but all that's left of your coherent thought is how desperately you want to be even closer to Cedric's body.

Acting on that whim, you hook your arms around Cedric's neck. His brows shoot up in questioning, but he doesn't protest.

"Would you like another dance?" The words manifest on your tongue without thinking, and your heart felt giddy as you awaited his response.

"It would be my pleasure," Cedric spoke, his voice soft as feather down as his head dipped even closer to your own. Feeling your breath catch in your throat, all you can do is nod your head in affirmation.

Even though you both had agreed to dance once more, neither of you made the move to untangle yourself from the other's embrace. You knew that one of you had to give, yet you both clung to each other just as tightly.

After a few moments, you feel Cedric's body shift, and you follow to unbind your arms from his neck. He suddenly stops, and you follow suite. You feel Cedric tip his head towards your ear, and you swallow hard as he whispers to you.

"I was thinking... If it's alright- we stay like this." Cedric's voice now had a rougher tone to it, and it sent shockwaves through you. Instead of answering, you adjust yourself back into the position you were in previously.

You smile into his shoulder, letting yourself fully enjoy his embrace. Taking in a deep breath, you inhale the Cedric's scent. The smell of dried herbs, his sweet soap, and the musk of old books makes your head spin in the best of ways.

As if almost on cue, the music changes in the ballroom once again, to something more slow and moody.

You lift your head in response, eyes scanning the scene around you, and you catch the eye of Queen Miranda somehow.

She quickly gestures towards the musicians, then gives you a sly wink.

Biting back a smile, you opt to bury yourself into Cedric's shoulder again.

This year, Wassailia has shaped up to be one of your favorite memories yet.

‹3 im really tired to find gifs so have boyfriend material photos of them

[ ; M.List including other Neos! ]

─ Context: NCT 127 were invited to a daycare to become volunteers on taking care of the children! It was quite an experience for each individual, but it was one where all of them clung onto this day as an endearing memory.

─ Genre: Headcanons, Humor, Wholesome/Fluffy

─ Length: 8 SHORT bullet points for each member!

❒ a/n: needed to work on a small project to prevent a burnout :,) felt a bit iffy with my writing lately, so i decided to work on this for some humor and just more relaxed writing. hopefully, you enjoyed this as much as i wrote it! this one was definitely fun to write!! this was mainly inspired by the kindergarten teacher videos with jungwoo, taeyong and jaehyun + return of the superman since i was watching some clips of it  ₍ᐢ‥ᐢ₎

!! Taeil .

Don’t get him wrong, he doesn’t mind kids but damn is he so awkward when he is around them; it doesn’t exactly help that he is a quiet guy who does his own thing and just goes along with the flow of chaos with the others

Awkwardly standing around with kids staring into his soul, expecting him to do a trick like he is some animal of a circus

He does get over it EVENTUALLY, but he is usually sticking around with the others to make up for his quiet nature

He definitely had fun playing “House” and literally sitting in the fake kitchen play area, chopping up fake veggies and serving the kids fake food; suddenly, all girls (and some boys) are falling for him and asking for his hand in marriage

The househusband that all the wives in the house roleplay wanted and would drag him around, telling him to clean, cook, etc. because kids can be bossy

Ofc he does whatever they do to please them because he doesn’t want to get on their bad side

Honestly, his favorite part of being a helper was during reading time and he was the one telling the story while two members (spoiler alert it was Doyoung and Taeyong) re-enacted the story of the tortoise and the hare - we already know whos who

Bonus: Was hyped up by the members to sing for the kids and the kids are hyping him up also. He ends up belting a note from 2 baddies like the iconic main vocalist he is, and everyone is cheering. The kids absolutely love him and they instantly asked him to read the stories instead because they all became taeil stans for his voice <3

!! Johnny .

Not awkward but he definitely intimidated a few kids by accident. He didn’t even do anything, but maybe breathed wrong in their way or something

Started fake crying with a kid who ended up in tears for no reason and made a disgusted face when some kids showed off the beetles they caught; honestly, he let his intrusive thoughts win there he didn’t mean any harm

This 6”1 ft. man for some reason has the tendency to fit himself in every child toy (especially the bike) and endanger all his limbs with a cursing ache of regret; he definitely almost broke one of the toys after sitting his ass down and trying to ride it properly

VERY popular with the boys, they just love how chill he was especially when they started playing hide and seek or the monster has been released to chase them; he is a trooper for keeping up with their energy

Laid on the floor once to relax, but then these kids came up to him and climbed on him like he was a new installment of a rock climbing wall

Piggybacks for the kids and an aching back at the end of the day tbh

Served lunch for the kids and looked at the lunch to only comment that these kids eat better than all american schools combined he is right

Bonus: Had to comfort a little one, who got hurt, because they instantly went to Johnny in tears. “I got a boo boo!” The little one cries out and Johnny is cooing back, “You got a boo boo?! Let me see!” and he is opening his arms for the little one to approach him with tears and grabby hands. Took the time to clean up the little scrape and carry the little one around in his arms to cheer them up <3

!! Taeyong .

We all know Taeyong is a father of 22 children, this is not a hard job for him; in fact, he is incredibly gentle and is the most favored by the children because of his encouraging attitude

Looks incredibly tiny in the kid seats, but honestly he is sitting like a shrimp and he knows damn well his back is at risk at that very moment

He listens to whatever the teachers at the daycare say, encouraging all little ones to listen and he would help them if they needed it; crayons missing? someone spilled milk on the table? He is already there with a new pack and ready with paper towels and a spray

His lap? The kids think it’s a free real estate and are climbing on him for attention

EVERY child is looking up to him for his praise because he is always saying the nicest things to give these children a ego

But, he isn’t afraid to be strict sometimes - he is incredibly aware of his surroundings and he definitely stopped two kids from fighting one another for the last animal cracker

Had taught a group of children the 2 baddies dance challenge and taught them to say “2 baddies 2 baddies 1 porsche!” and honestly he led a cult of children to say that very thing; he prays that baddies is not a bad word though after reality hit him

Bonus: Was given so many gifts like flowers and pieces of fruits or crackers from kids, he definitely placed a flower behind his ear while eating like a king. Suddenly, every child is telling him all their dreams while offering whatever they can provide to Taeyong like he is some God - that’s okay though. Taeyong loved the fact that he was a favorite <3

!! Yuta .

He lied to the members before that he stayed in a daycare overnight because he fell asleep for so long that he got locked up in there (this is an unconfirmed fact)

Another quiet one, but he isn’t standing around - he is smiling at every child making eye contact with him because he finds them so cute

Can’t contain the cuteness so he would squish/pinch their cheeks lightly and pat their head, as some form of affection given towards them

Popular with the quiet kids that sit at the table to draw or read because he joined the table to draw himself; kids drawing are definitely asking him what he’s drawing and watching him draw

Told the children that Mark is spiderman and he has amazing reflexes, and is the most talented member on the team

Saw a kid eat crayons and panicked, telling them not to eat that and giving them paper instead like that's going to help the child’s gluttonous appetite

A lot of the kids showed off their drawings to him and he is asking if he could have some of them; at the end of the day, he has a handful of drawings in one hand and possibly remembered every little one’s names and faces by the end of it

Bonus: when playing outside, he played soccer with the kids; he is very popular with the soccer kids and they are asking why he became an idol instead of a soccer player - at some point of time, one of them even said he could have been the next Messi/Ronaldo and Yuta said that he wouldn’t have met the other members if he wasn’t an idol <3

!! Doyoung .

Tried to compete against Taeyong on who would be a favorite, but he ended up getting tired after a few interactions

Had his eyes set on the bean bag in the reading area right when he entered the room; he instantly bee-lined towards it to just sit and relax. Obviously, nothing goes his way because he is Kim Doyoung of NCT - Johnny, Haechan and some children came to bother him

Taeyong told the children that he is a bunny and they all suddenly started drawing bunnies for him and giving the bunny plushies lying around the room to him; some child definitely asked if he would dress up judy hopps for halloween, and he realized that this was taeyong’s plan all along

Had stepped and sat on a stray lego during his time helping and he nearly cursed in front of these kids, and Haechan told the teacher about it

He had so much fun during music time and showed off his singing, and he even led the children in singing some nursery rhymes; a lot of the kids said they liked his voice a lot - doyoung got flustered because kids are the most honest when giving feedback after all

Had to stop the kid from eating paper that yuta gave and fed the kid some actual food; he ended up spoon feeding this kid for a duration of time until the little one felt full

Taeyong was eating all the sweets and Doyoung had to stop him or the kids will end up with no cookies because of him

Bonus: one of the children loved his singing so much and wanted him to sing a lullaby for them during nap time. Doyoung didn’t want to disturb anyone else, so he would lay in the corner next to the little one, softly humming them to sleep - it worked! they drifted off into slumber and Doyoung was on the verge of the tears from how touched he was <3

!! Jaehyun .

A young prince that every princess/prince in the room had fallen for once they laid eyes on him

Every tiara/crown is put on his head, he definitely had to play along with some roleplays of being a prince; it’s okay, he acted for Dear.M he’s been prepared for this moment - but in reality, he broke character a few times

Jungwoo and the children LOVE poking his dimples and for some odd reason, the kids think his coconut head hair is very soft and would touch it also

Had a kid fallen asleep on his lap and he couldn’t move for like 2 hours. He lost all feeling in his legs for some time

The kids who had the fake makeup toys ended up putting makeup on him, he somehow looked cute despite how horrific the attempts were

Got too competitive during a game when playing outside, and literally had to be told to “lose points purposely” because the kids were losing hope each time he scored

Hung out with the chill kids watching spongebob in some part of the room, laughing along with the kids whenever something funny occurred because spongebob remains to be funny no matter what age

Bonus: Was mistaken as a rapper and a teenage boy. He played a little game of kids guessing his real age and real position in the group, and many of the kids were betrayed when he revealed the truth - honestly, one kid said that they would like to marry him in the future and Jaehyun could only laugh <3

!! Jungwoo .

Young prince 2.0 that everyone seemed to fall for also, but in comparison to Jaehyun - he is the cutesy prince

Did cute faces and stuff for the kids, the kids seeming to LOVE how his cheeks are so fluffy and would play with his hair also

Had tea parties with the children and he is clanking tea cups together with the princesses/princes with Jaehyun’s makeup-filled face

Nearly spat out his tea it’s actually water when he saw Jaehyun’s face and took selfies with him because it was “beautiful”

Did great impersonations of cartoon characters (especially spongebob) and animal impersonations; the children LOVED them and would always ask him to intimidate any of those things

Him and Haechan ended up becoming tickle monsters for a game and all the kids teamed up to fight back by tickling them back

Showed off his terrific, fluent english skills after Johnny showed off his to the kids; all the children were so wowed by his english and was voted the most fluent than the person who was born in america

Bonus: Was playing with a pencil and it accidentally flew across the room to hit a kid in the head with it. Nearly shits himself and bowed in all fours towards the child, begging for forgiveness like the child would have gotten a concussion by his accidental murder attempt - the little one forgave him though by giving him a piece of a cookie <3

!! Mark .

You think he would have some skills after taking care of Dreamies for most of his life, but honestly he is struggling to even talk to one kid without it being awkward

Stayed near Yuta, Johnny or Haechan to feel more comfortable; he asks the kids’ questions and then an awkward silence by skz would happen after he says “Oh really? That’s so cool!”

After Yuta told the kids that he was spiderman, he is laughing uneasily because how could he prove that - he tries playing along by “he’s lying!” and the kids go “You are trying to keep it a secret!”

Some kids threw things at Mark to test his reflexes and he caught every single one despite his panic, the kids are so amazed

Ends up attracting all the Spiderman fans, they even asked for his autograph and they told him about them being mean to their parents one day by accident, stealing a toy from another kid’s, etc.; honestly, mark just says “With great power comes great responsibility” because he has nothing else to say

Saw two kids fighting and did nothing to stop it, but only watch to say “o-oh my god” when one of them got hit so hard to end up in tears

Played basketball with Jaehyun with some of the kids outside and he pulled another “this one's for you czennies” but instead it's for the children at the daycare; did he make it? I think you and I know very well of the outcome

Bonus: During storytime, he was invested as the children. The reenactment of the story made his tummy hurt and you know that cute gasp he seems to always do whenever he is feeling dramatic? His gasp echoes among the children and he is clapping along like he is one of the children that 127 volunteered to help <3

!! Haechan .

Is the youngest in 127, middle child in DREAM, and oldest in his actual family; does he have some experience with children? Not really since his mom definitely babied him and Dreamies are a different breed of children

Had called his mom for advice on how to act with the kids at the ages of 4-5 and was told to be himself and be fun! Mama bear encouraged him to be their “Haechan”; ofc our Full Sun of NCT did just that and became a favorite by the children

Joined the 2 baddies 2 baddies 1 porsche cult, dancing along with the little ones while screaming out the godforsaken lyrics i love 2 baddies dont misunderstand

Told one of the kids he used to dance ballet and the ballet kids challenged him, and he ended up wearing a tutu when dancing with them

Shared the kimchi jjigae rap by Mark to the kids during lunchtime, Mark heard it across the room and definitely got up to commit violence against the number one fan of the kimchi stew rap; taeyong had to break them up tho

Forced Doyoung to act cute to the kids because if he doesn’t, the kids would be sad…Even mentioned TY track in front of Taeyong’s animal crackers and Taeyong passively aggressively laughed while aggressively patting Haechan on the back

Even played tag with some of the kids and got scolded by the teacher because it was a dangerous game for the kids, but it's okay the kids cheered him up when he became sulky

Bonus: He lost all energy when nap time happened, and he ended up falling asleep. He laid next to a little one, who seemed to enjoy his company and curled up beside him like a small bear cub; by the time Haechan woke up, small fingers were holding onto his fingers and he had to stay still until the little one woken up <3

· ☹/☹☹/☹☹☹: 4

She said Shrek and Fiona, and then told me she never wanted to be famous. — the double life thing babeyy

“Jimmy,” he heaves out, and I feel a stab of panic in my chest. — just hearing ur friend's name shouldn't be enough to trigger panic unless u already know something is Very Wrong . at which point i feel they should've pushed for further help instead of finishing out the tour

“We can’t leave Jimmy out.” Lister stands shirtless in the middle of the room and spins around on the spot. — fuck yeah trio tingz :')

It almost makes me laugh how polite and casual Rowan manages to sound, despite the fact that our best friend is missing. — IT'S A DEFENCE MECHANISM!!!!!

I only wonder how much of it is my fault. — none of it bb dw :( he is Not With It enough to be thinking abt anyone but himself rn

“But I can’t drive.” Rowan stares at me. “I thought you had lessons.” “I only had three lessons.” And then I got bored, or tired, or busy, or all three. — ... adhd lister btw

Why would he do this to us? To me? — i think jimmy's dependence on rowan is more reciprocated than he realises

If we weren’t in a famous band together, I’m not sure whether we’d still be friends now. — this rly hurts my feelings and it hurts more bc he isn't necessarily Wrong i don't think

“You do know I can play eight instruments, right?” “But not the drums, huh.” Rowan folds his arms. “You will never let me live that down.” — LISTERROWAN BESTIEISM BANTER BABEY

“But you think I’m an idiot who has nothing intelligent to say.” “I don’t think that.” “Yeah, you do. You’d much rather I was the one who was missing right now.” Rowan doesn’t respond. We both know I’m right. — WELL MAYBE BUT U DON'T HAVE TO TELL ME THAT. I DON'T WANNA THINK ABOUT IT.

“I wish you wouldn’t—” he begins but is cut off when his phone buzzes. — i hate that the phone gave him a get out from being open n sincere w lister :^(

“That’s a Southeastern Railway train,” says Lister instantly. “You can tell by the seat patterns.” — [freddie mercury voice] auuuuutism auuuuutism i want to ride my autism (note: this is summat @to-grill-a-mockingbird says and now i can never get it out of my head)

“He needs a night off.” "A night off from … what? His entire life?” Piero chuckles. “Yes.” — i mean ouch but also Yeah

“That was good news. He hasn’t been kidnapped. He just needed a nap.” “Can you not make a joke about this situation for like one fucking minute, Allister?” — could be the tism on my end but i didn't take this as a joke . jimmy needs a break, piero told them that, lister has seen enough to agree . (also: lister has Also contemplated running away so it makes sense he's less eager to bring jimmy back to ldn bc he doesn't see it as fixing the problem the same way rowan does)

Why do I always have to be the serious one? The worrier? Why can’t someone else do the worrying sometimes? — other ppl Do worry . but not so much that it becomes its own problem worthy of therapy

We save the deep chats for Jimmy. Jimmy doesn’t open up very often, but you know Jimmy will listen if you have something serious to say. — vs jimmy's wednesday narration 'we don't ever talk about deep stuff, me and lister bird' :((((

This whole bedroom is something out of twelve-year-old Lister’s wildest fantasies—it’s spacious and modern, with one floor-to-ceiling window, dark walls, LED lights behind the headboard, and a fifty-inch TV. — what u lack as a child you seek as an adult etc etc (space, material possessions, money)

Rowan’s room is always tidy. He puts away his clothes at the end of the day and makes his bed in the mornings. — always craving order & control :(

Rowan loves to criticize me about buying unnecessary things, but all I need to do is remind him of the velvet chaise longue in his bedroom that I’m pretty sure nobody has ever sat on. — comedy gold amidst the agony

He blinks at me. “You remembered my weird order?” — remembering ppl's orders is a love language

“Can I … ?” I shuffle on my feet. “Can we eat it in here?” — i hate that he's so uncertain n lacking in confidence while asking one of his best friends

I’ve always been deeply annoyed by what a high metabolism he has. I work out three times a week with a personal trainer just to stay toned. — rowan's fixation on body image makes me ✨nervous✨

“You were reading?” I ask, eyebrow raised. Lister narrows his eyes at me. “Wow, hilarious." — i stand by my 'lister loves to read but nobody ever assumes that or believes him bc their perception is skewed by him not gelling with academia' hc

“But don’t you see how that’s, like, still very fucked-up behavior, Rowan?” — GET HER JADE

And it’s scary that he thinks he’s completely fine. That this level of stress is normal. That he’s a functioning, well-adjusted human who is able to cope with being one of the most famous musicians in the world with absolutely no help or support whatsoever. — yeah :((

“You kissed him,” Rowan says. “So he decided to climb out of a window and run away.” “I mean, yeah, in summary.” — but no, realistically

Rowan wipes a tear from his eye. “Oh my God. So funny.” He’s properly pissing me off now. — give him a break roseph he's already mentally ill u don't have to embarrass him as well (/lh)

It’s a question I’ve asked myself every day for years. A question I’ve answered in daydreams, in nightmares, in conversations with myself in the shower. A question I still don’t know the answer to, and maybe never will. A question that doesn’t need an answer, now that I know for sure that Jimmy doesn’t like me back. — aaaaaagonyyyyy beyond power of speeeeeeech when the thing that u want is the only thing out of ur reach

“But … the circumstances of our relationship are so challenging. We live in very, very different worlds, and our lives are on very different trajectories. And sometimes I think relationships just can’t survive that.” — JUSTICE FOR LAIMONDI :(

Jimmy fell asleep almost immediately, a feat that would become less and less common as we all got older, but Lister and I couldn’t sleep because we were too busy watching funny YouTube videos on my phone, muffling laughs into our hands, trying not to wake anyone up. — BABY ARK MY CHILDREN

#i annotated this on friday but i've been too busy to write it up #so heyyyy guess who isn't ready to let this week go #anyway. i truly feel ghosted may be one of the best things to ever happen to this fandom #in the absence of iana at least #iwbftreread

[from-my-gabriel-notebook]

Upgrading to: body pillow

Word count: 1514

You walked through the door, closed it and leaned back into it, your bag discarded at your feet.

Damned ghost in the damned town that for some reason didn't name their damned headstones.

It had taken you days to find the right grave, days that you spent barely sleeping, and now that the adrenaline had finally got out of your system you could feel your body shutting down. How you were still standing was beyond you.

You were very, very glad one of Gabriel's safe houses happened to be nearby, because you really weren't looking forward to spend the night in a moldy motel.

You started walking down a corridor and looked into the first room you found. It was the media room. You distantly noticed the TV was on, but you were too tired to properly process it, let alone worry about someone else being in the house. You eyed the long sofà in the middle of the room, then looked towards the others doors, asking yourself if you were really going to go to all the trouble of finding an available room where there was a perfectly, readily available place right there, with the added bonus of the white noise.

Your dropping eyelids decided for you.

You walked into the room, yawning and rubbing your eyes, and jumped over the backrest.

The pillows were firmer that what you expected, and they moved, but it was also warm, and it instantly made you feel safe, so you just wiggled about until you felt comfortable and set to sleep, hugging the pillows tightly to stop them from slipping from your fingers.

You felt light, and then it was soft, but the safe feeling was going away, so you reached out to bring it back. It worked, because a moment later it was close to you again, and you nuzzled into your firm pillow with a happy sigh. It smelled sweet, and you could hear a faint melody, a familiar tune that spoke of wind and laughter, and you sank into it with relief.

When you woke up the next morning, feeling more rested that you had in ages, you were surprised to find yourself in an actual bedroom, wearing your - softer than you remembered - pjs. You must have been more tired than you thought, because you could have swore that you fell asleep on a couch, not a bed.

Oh well. Loki's safe houses were safe, and you were no stranger to the tricks being a chronically under-sleeper played on the memory.

You got ready and left, and soon the whole ordeal faded from your mind.

----------

Gabriel just wanted some peace and quiet , a week when he didn't have to deal with his family's drama or the Winchester's. Unfortunately, that also meant he would have to go a week without seeing you, and that put a sad note to the whole thing, keeping him from partying as he would have in the past, the idea of it alone dampened without you by his side to enjoy it together.

So he picked at place at random, some nowhere town, snapped himself a safe house, and set to half-relax, half-mope till he detoxed from all the family drama.

He was in the movie room, laying on the couch with his hands behind his head when he heard the door open. He payed it no mind. Even without counting on the wards that stopped anyone with malign intention from getting in, there was really noone that could harm him, and most creatures that found themselves in need of one of one of his safe houses were not that interested in being social.

So his surprise was understandable when someone basically landed on him.

By the time he had moved past the surprise, you had already wiggled until you were comfortably set in the the place between him and the back of the sofa, hugging his waist and looking for all the world like you had no intention of letting him go.

He spent a good minute just staring at you, wondering if he had involuntarily summoned you with all his pining, or if whoever planned his odds thought they were that funny.

He tried to remove himself from the situation by wriggling around, but you just tightened your hold on him and muttered something that sounded a lot like "still". He then silently snapped himself free from your grasp, but you made a sound of protest and curled on yourself.

Right. The couch was probably not very comfortable. He considered just snapping you into a bed (and maybe some pajamas, because, with all due respect, you stank of graves and your clothes were covered in dirt.

He took care of the latter with a passing thought, but decided that miracling away might disturb your rest, and he wouldn't want that, so the only logical solution was to physically carry you. (And no, it wasn't because he would take any chance he got to hold you close, of course not.)

He lifted you with no effort, and you immediately leaned into him, one hand resting on his chest, curling around the lapel of his jacket. The walk to the master bedroom took no time at all, and all too soon he was gently lowering onto the bed.

He started to righten himself, wanting to brush your hair away with a blessing for nice dreams and a good rest, except a pull stopped him: you still had to let go of him, and didn't seem inclined to do so any time soon.

He slowly pried your fingers open, place a soft kiss on the back of your hand and started walking away.

"Gabe?"

Your voice glued his feet to the floor mere steps from you. He was so sure you were asleep... Maybe he had imagined it? But still he half turned.

You weren't asleep, but saying you were awake would have been too much of a stretch. Your eyes were clouded, eyelids heavy, voice a barely there murmur.

"Stay?"

He hesitated. He wanted to, Father knew he did, but "I don't know if I should, cupcake."

"Please?"

He closed his eyes for a moment, almost pained, but then sighed and turned fully, his usual clothes melting into soft pants and shirt.

His inability to deny you anything would be the death of him, but your expression when you understood he was doing as asked might just have been worth it.

He rounded the bed to get in on the other side, nut he shouldn't have bothered. You immediately scooted closer and pressed into his side, sighing happily when he hesitantly put an arm around you.

He slowly relaxed, staring straight ahead and accepting his destiny as a body pillow, ready to lay there until you eventually moved away.

You didn't.

In fact, halfway through the night, you decided that the covers were an hindrance, and who needed them to stay warm when you could just roll on top of an Archangel that you had previously called, multiple times, a furnace?

And he did wanted to keep nightmares away from you... Well, no way anything will disturb you now.

He had his arms around you, holding you close, but only because you made soft unhappy noises until he did.

Where you always this clingy when you slept? He couldn't know, and asking of the Winchesters, which whom he knew you had sometimes shared the bed when needed, was out of the question. They were already being assholes about his pining, and giving them more ammunitions to tease him with was not on his plans.

So he held you close thorough the night, and he could almost pretend it to be intentional, that you wanted him there. After all, who was he if not a master of illusions?

And when he thought he couldn't get more pathetic in his affections.

Still, he stayed there with you until light broke through the curtains and made you stir, when he snapped yourself away without a sound and plenty reluctance.

------------------

"You're telling me it wasn't a dream?"

Dean - very rudely, in your opinion - started laughing at your very high pitched voice.

"You thought it was a dream?", Gabriel asked. He had his arms around you now as well, and this time, it was by design.

He figured a couple of months into your relationships was a good enough time to share this story. The hunters were probably not the best choice of audience, though.

"What was I suppose to think? It wasn't like it had never happen before."

"Hold on. You've dreamed of me before?"

You looked away, not wanting to answer, and chose instead to glare at a still-laughing Dean.

"You're being rude."

"You're being hilarious. Did you honestly not noticed the mutual pining you had going on? For months?"

"Like you're one to talk." Sam mumbled, and Gabriel snorted.

While you started a familiar back and forth with Dean, Gabriel took a moment to simply take you in and smile. No more pretending now.

A/N: I'm not dead! Just, my mind was all over the place for a while. But I managed to finish this, and I wanted to post it. Hope you enjoy!
