New chapter for Breach, and a few little edits to prior chapters! Also I hope you like character interaction, because there is a heckin' lot of character interaction!!! OuO
Red is having such a day, lemme tell ya. (And it's only going to become more of a day the second he goes back into his dorm.)
Also, Ghost is back, and now y'all finally get to see him in his Normal Settings! (There is nothing normal about this stupid squishbaby.)
Has Shio been hiding some Knowledge ever since they first showed up? Maybe. Probably. Definitely. (And did they manage to be convincing about it in the process? I sure fucking hope so.)

Iam looking at your phoenixverse laxus design with both eyes OPEN 👁👁 but now im so curiojz as to what else the phoenixverse has to offer. PLEASE tell me youve got any headcanons about how zeref refived natsu. Like any thoughts at all on that?
Tumblr media
Ohohohohohohohohohoho anon my guy my dude, my man (genderless) I am about to speak. Pull up a fuckin chair bro. Also puttin this under read more because uh, long lol
This is actually one of my favourite things to think about regarding Natsu (apart from yknow, END lol) and Zeref because it is such an interesting little story point.
For Natsu, the interest comes from the fact that he's not who he thought he was. Natsu's always confident about his identity, he's quick to announce who and what he is in a situation and he's proud of who he is. The knowledge that yeah sure, you are Natsu Dragneel, but uh Natsu's not who you think he is buddy- that Natsu, in some way died so many centuries ago but was pulled back and reshaped, reborn- repackaged even- into you in a body that you thought was human but is some almagamation of that and more? All tied to a book? Can he still say with confidence that he is Natsu Dragneel when he hardly knew the truths about himself? And if sayin that is even true when he could easily just be something molded to look like what Zeref lost? (Ofc we the readers know otherwise but imagine the dilemna man) The reality of it would've- should've- been earth shattering. It would've been an identity crisis and then some.
For Zeref, oh man. Zeref's whole thing stems from the fact that he loves Natsu. He loves Natsu so much (and his parents too i guess) that when the tragedy struck and he lost everything, it fucked him up. He just couldn't deal with the incredibly unfair hand that life dealt him that he was willing to turn the world on its head and essentially change the course of fioran history to try and undo what happened to him. To save something from his old life that he loved.
But heres the thing about Zeref's love. It's twisted. It's fucked up. It's dark.
Working years, decades- possibly even centuries- on the single minded task of reviving his brother (and why just Natsu? Why not the parents well? Why only the younger sibling? Did he intend to bring them all back but became single minded on just his brother?) could lead to obsession. Obsession with making him perfect, no longer just as a human but more than that. Stronger so he won't be killed as easily. Obsession with keeping him close, tying him to his soul in such a way that if Zeref goes, Natsu goes as well. Making sure that he's pulling the strings that when it comes to, when he finally closes his eyes at the hands of his brother, he has a comfort in knowing that his brother is going with him and he won't be left alone, like what his very first tragedy did to him. (Plus also making Natsu, his creation that he brought to life, kill him would be a back stab at Ankhserham. Because the god cursed him for fucking around with life and death, so having his demon kill him would be Zeref controlling the life he chose to create and determining his own death. It'd be a last gotcha).
Zeref may have loved Natsu enough to bring him back, and he still loves him in a way, but it's messed up. Because the whole ordeal of everything messed him up.
But I digress, this is just side stuff, your question really. How did Zeref really bring Natsu back?
Now since you asked specifically for phoenixverse, i can get a lil bit loose with canon details and not feel as restricted.
So we have our hard facts- Natsu and Parents die in Zeref's youth, Zeref fucks around tryna undo their deaths and finds out by getting cursed for doing this, then proceeds to use the curse to his advantage and over an undisclosed amount of time to create his demons and what not.
'Undisclosed amount of time' being the key thing here.
Canon implies that the time between Natsu's death, Zeref getting cursed and Zeref reviving Natsu happened within a relatively close period of time. And if it's anything I love, it's spacing out events.
I'd like to think that between the loss of his family and when he gets cursed is a decent gap of time, like a decade or so to really push the fact that he's so fixated on the loss. Then after getting the curse he sets to work of reviving Natsu over the course of decades to almost a century and a half.
(Am i implying Zeref to be a bit older than the 400 years? Yes, yes i am. The way I saw it the events of 400yrs past were inciting incidents i.e Zeref giving Natsu to Igneel, slayers gettin sent to the future, and not the actually set date where everything happened. And again, I like the idea of Zeref fixating on this for a very long time. Him being older drives home the single-mindedness and determination to get it done)
As prodigious as Zeref is, creating life and being the first wizard to do so, i don't think he could do it so easily within a few short years which is why i personally love the idea of Zeref taking so long to be able to revive Natsu. A touch of realism to something magical kinda grounds it in a way, gives it some weight at the very least.
Specifically Natsu being Zeref's final project ever and all the other demons he created over the years prior being experiments and steps taken to perfect the process so Natsu would be the culmination of all that he learnt (demons like deliora and lullaby being demons of inorganic matter given humanoid form-> tartarus- esque demons being humanoid demons with animalistic features (organic matter) -> Natsu, human demon and hybrid traits all working together in cohesion).
And speaking of a touch of realism, or sorta realism anyways, riddle me this.
Zeref needs something to make Natsu well, Natsu. Sure he could probs make a demon that looks like him, but thats not what he wants. He wants his actual brother so, what could he get to add into the mixture to really do that? Why a few samples of course :].
But Phoenix! I hear you cry, how could he have gotten samples if you said in your version that it took him forever to finally revive Natsu?
And so leads into the actual true definitive answer to your question anon.
Zeref, in needing the most important ingredient in the Natsu stew took things from the OG body to help build the new one. But! The kicker here is the samples I imagine him using aren't blood but instead, bone.
Maybe he realizes a decade or 2 down the line in his demon experiments that he missed a step in what he needs to see this through. Maybe he thinks he's too late because what can he do now at that point. Maybe he realizes that he can use not flesh and blood, but what remains for his plan. Maybe he commits another sin in the hopes of it bringing for another and digs up his young brother's bones. Maybe he whittles them down piece by precious piece over the long period of time after failing so many times (am i also implying failed Natsus? Failed ENDs? Hell yeah i am) and coming dangerously close to it all ending for naught, with the last shard of bone. And maybe after so long and so many atrocities, he finally succeeded?
TL:DR Zeref snagged OG Natsu's bones and used those to help in the process of quite literally rebuilding him from scratch to give us our Natsu.
I dunno man, it just adds a layer of fucked up-ness to the whole situation of how far Zeref was willing to go- even defiling his brother's bones to get him back.
And on Natsu's side learning about all this would just twist the knife of his identity crisis even deeper (especially on that implication of failed END attempts before him).
Also like, by stretching out the time of events and making Natsu being the very last demon Zeref ever made bring so much for layers of meaning to the name END in itself.
END, being the literal meaning 'Etherious Natsu Dragneel'
END, signalling the last demon Zeref's made. An end to his experimentations.
END, as in the last and perfected version of his brother, with the last remains of OG Natsu's bones going towards his creation.
And END, as in Zeref's end, where he intends for Natsu to kill him thus ending his life.

DIABOLIK LOVERS DAYLIGHT Vol. 4 Sakamaki Subaru [Track 1]
Tumblr media
Original title: 不機嫌の理由
Source: Diabolik Lovers Daylight Vol. 4 Sakamaki Subaru
Audio: Here [Original & Adjusted pitch versions available]
Seiyuu: Takashi Kondou
Translator’s note: This CD has been a rollercoaster of emotions. When I first started listening to it, I was so distraught by the drastic change in Subaru’s voice, I had a hard time focusing on the actual content. Thankfully, I found a solution and was able to listen to the altered pitch version while doing my translation, which really helped me enjoy it much more. uwu
Track 1 ll Track 2 ll Track 3 ll Track 4 ll Track 5 + Epilogue
→  LIKE MY TRANSLATIONS? SUPPORT ME ON KO-FI!
Track 1: The Reason Behind a Bad Mood
The scene starts with Subaru running around frantically in the forest.
“Haah, haah, haah, haah...Ugh, fuck!! ...Hah...I’ve been runnin’ all over...So why can’t I find this damn thing!? I have to hurry or she’llーー...!! ...I’ll find it no matter what...She’s the one person I won’t let die...!”
He continues running.
*FLASHBACK*
Subaru enters the entrance hall.
[01:05] “...Oi! I thought it was weird you weren’t in your room, but this is where you’ve been? ...Don’t tell me, you’re not ‘bout to head out, are you?”
You nod.
“Ah...? Do you have any idea what time it is? Why can’t you just do groceries tomorrow?”
You insist.
“Ugh...! ...What is it you want?”
You explain.
“Takoyaki and donuts...!? Why do you need those thi...Tsk. Must be Ayato and Kanato, huh? Did they ask you?”
You nod.
[01:45] “So that’s why you’re thinkin’ of makin’ a casual trip to the grocery store in the middle of the night? They’re makin’ you run errands for them ‘cause you always just obediently nod your head in response. Just ignore them!”
You frown.
“...Tsk! Let’s just go then...”
You seem surprised.
[02:07] “I can’t stop you, can I? In that case, I’m taggin’ along. You really think I’m lettin’ you head out by yourself?”
You thank him.
“I...I’m not worried or anythin’...! I’m only comin’ with you ‘cause I’ve got nothin’ better to do! Don’t get the wrong idea! ...Now just follow me!”
*TIMESKIP*
[02:42] “...Oi. You still haven’t made a choice? All donuts are the same, no!? Just how long do you need to make up your damn mind!? ーー She’s not even listenin’. Ah-ah...Look at that serious expression on her face. All for Kanato’s sake, what a fool.”
You continue looking at the donuts. 
“...Ugh, whatever! I’ll be waitin’ for you outside. This sickly sweet smell is makin’ me gag!”
He leaves the store.
*TIMESKIP*
The two of you are walking back home.
[03:33] “...Hah.”
You ask if he’s upset.
“Haah? …I’m not mad, really.”
You seem worried that he’s upset about what you did earlier.
[03:41] "If you feel that way, you already have a clue, don’t you? Then stop pesterin’ me with your questions. …It’s annoyin’. …For one, you should have never listened to those guys in the first place. Next time you better refuse, no matter what they tell you to do. You’re in no way obligated to take orders from them.
You protest.
“…Hah? What do you mean, ‘but’? You’ve got a reason or somethin’? You talk back to me all the time, but when it’s them, you suddenly become obedient, huh?”
Subaru corners you against the wall.
*Rustle*
[04:20] “— Ugh. Seems like…you’ve forgotten who you belong to. …You’re takin’ orders from other dudes left and right…It pisses me off seeing you like that. I’ll make you remember who’s the only guy you should ever listen to.”
You start to panic.
"There’s nobody ‘round, really. ...Even if there was, they wouldn’t be able to see us in the dark. Now if you just keep your voice down, nobody will notice. ...Come on, stop restlessly lookin’ ‘round and face me instead.”
*Rustle*
“Let me suck your blood...”
You grow flustered. 
[05:04] “...Heh.”
Subaru bites you.
*Gulp gulp*
“...Hah. You’re being surprisingy meek. Where’s the usual cheekiness, huh?”
You explain.
“Oh? You’re actually enjoyin’ it, aren’t you?”
You protest.
[05:28] “Hah? ...No wonder I thought you were clutchin’ it so protectively...Even in this kind of situation, you’re still worried ‘bout the stuff they asked for, huh!? I seriously don’t like this! Seems like you just never get the message unless I make myself loud and clear.”
You ask if he is mad. 
“Yeah, exactly. I’m mad. How could I not be!? It pisses me off how you keep on showin’ concern towards anyone and everyone but me! On top of that, you hesitate whenever I tell you to just ignore their requests! Stop takin’ orders from others already!”
You tilt your head to the side.
“...Hah? Whatcha lookin’ at? Are you goin’ to beg for mercy?”
You ask if he is perhaps jealous.
[06:22] “...Haah!? W-Who are you callin’ jealous!? ...Bullshit! For one, you’re to blame for being unable to just turn down their requests! All you need to do is say ‘no’ next time, yet you keep on sayin’ ‘but’ or ‘still’...What’s so bad ‘bout just turnin’ them down for once!?”
You try and defend yourself.
“Hah! Again with the ‘but’, huh? Just spit it out already!”
You explain.
“Hah? Well...Knowin’ those guys, it’s obvious they’d lose their shit. Kanato’s a pain in the ass with his angry tantrums and Ayato would probably say something like ‘Then give me your blood insteーー’ ...Wait, is that why you can’t turn down their requests?”
You nod, explaining that you don’t want anyone but Subaru to suck your blood.
[07:15] “...!! ‘Other than me’, you say...? ...Oh. So that’s why...”
You ask if something is wrong.
“...I-It’s nothin’...! Anyway, if that’s your reasoning, you should have told me sooner! How am I supposed to know from just a single ‘but’ or ‘I mean’...!?”
You apologize.
“Well...Seems like you haven’t forgotten who you belong to, at least. That’s why you don’t want anyone but me to suck your blood, right?”
You nod.
“...You need to make yourself a lil’ more obvious, honestly.”
You insist it is partially his fault for misunderstanding as well.
[07:56] “ーー Hah!? There was never any misunderstandings on my part! ...Besides, you sure have some nerve, puttin’ the blame on me. You really are defiant towards me. I was gonna let you off the hook ーー But scratch that. You’re at fault for enticing me. I’ll suck you from the other side next. ...I feel like leavin’ more and more of my marks on you.”
Subaru bites you again.
*Gulp gulp gulp*
“...Hah. You’re lettin’ your voice slip. I thought you didn’t want anyone to see us? Not that I care ‘bout that.”
*Ba-dump・ba-dump*
[08:50] “...? ...O-Oi! What’s wrong...!? I haven’t sucked that much for you to grow weak in your knees already, right!?”
You clutch your chest.
“...Are you feeling under the weather perhaps?”
You shake your head.
“You sure? You’d say that even if you aren’t actually ‘fine’, wouldn’t you?”
You insist that you’re fine.
[09:13] “...Okay then. ...Hah. Don’t give me a scare like that. It doesn’t feel good suckin’ from someone who’s shaky on their legs. Wanna just go home? ...Come on, gimme your hand.”
You grab his hand.
“It’d suck if you were to nearly collapse again, so hold onto it tightly, ‘kay?”
You nod.
“Haah...Ah, speakin’ of whichー Did the takoyaki and donuts you were oh-so worried ‘bout make it out unscathed?”
*Rustle rustle*
You shriek.
“Hehe...Guess they still got crushed in the end. Serves those bastards right!”
You frown and decide to avoid them once you’re home. 
[10:03] “...Hm? Ah, yeah, you do that. If not, who knows what you’ll have to go through when they take out their anger on you. I’ve been worried ‘bout that as well, so sounds great. Just stay within my sight for today.”
You tell him it will be fine.
“I don’t believe your ‘it’ll be fine’. So I’ll make sure to keep an eye on you even after we get home to ensure you don’t run in any trouble. ーー And if the coast is clear, I’ll continue where I left off earlier.”
You get flustered again.
“Hehe...Don’t freak out now. Come on, let’s go home.”
The two of you start walking back to the manor.
ーー TO BE CONTINUED ーー

Hungry Eyes chapter 1
Pairing: Benny Miller x OFC (Dirty Dancing AU)
Summary: Dirty Dancing but here Benny is in the role of Baby and the dance instructor is a female OC. Benny goes to the resort with Will’s family (because who wouldn’t want cool uncle Benny to join their summer vacation?), and ends up falling for a dance instructor working on the resort. This first part is Benny and the dance instructor’s first meeting, basically the “I carried a watermelon” scene if you will.
Words: 1,818
Warnings: Alcohol/drinking, some curse words. Something else? Let me know!
Notes: This is one of those “I want to see it so I have to write it” situations. I have never ever written fiction before and this is scary as fuck, but I have this story in my head and now I’m trying to put it into words. I’m posting this part of the story now because I can, but I’m also working on a prologue of sorts.
This idea came to me in a dream (which was probably inspired by this headcanon ) and I told @the-purity-pen about it and she told me to write it. Without your encouragement I never would have even tried this fun thing and I’ll love you forever for it <3
And of course I’ll be eternally grateful to @astroboots for the beta and giving me that final push! Thank you for letting me ramble to you about this and being so lovely <3
Prologue
-----------------------------------------------------
The night was warm, only the sounds of crickets and the slight rustle of wind keeping Benny company on his walk. Most people on the resort, like his brother and his family, had already retired to their cabins and rooms for the night. It was quiet, calm.
Despite what many people thought, Benny enjoyed the quiet. Needed it, in fact. He was always energetic around people, giving them all of himself. And he didn’t have to fake that energy, but sometimes even he needed to wind down and enjoy some peace and quiet. These walks, this whole vacation, was his time to relax and just be.
Benny was walking along a path near where the hiking trails begin when he heard the quiet thumping of bass through the night air. The further he walked along the path the louder the music got.
Through the bushes and trees Benny could see a house a little further up the hill. There seemed to be a party going on there, judging by the noise and music coming through its open windows. Benny wondered who were partying there and if the house even belonged to the resort or if it was a private property.
He continued walking, thinking he’d just walk past the house and continue further into the woods, when he saw a woman on the bottom of the stairs leading to the house. She was carrying a big box in her arms, clearly struggling under the weight of it.
“Hey! Do you need help with that?” Benny hollered to the woman.
She let out a breath. “Sure, thanks,” she answered, while handing Benny the box and starting to climb up the stairs. “Hope it isn’t too heavy!”
“Nah, doesn’t weigh a thing. We goin’ to the party house over there?” Benny asked, nodding his head in the direction of it.
“You’re technically not supposed to be here, you know. It’s off limits to resort guests.”
“I can keep a secret”, Benny grinned. 
“What’s your name?” she asked him. “Benny.” “Nice to meet you Benny. My name’s Lily,” she added, pointing to the name tag still on her work shirt.
“Anyway, some of us who work on the resort live in this house for the summer, and sometimes we throw parties. But they’re strictly for a limited group of people, and we could get into a lot of trouble if our employees or other resort guests found out, so you better keep your mouth shut,” she warned sternly.
“I promise I won’t tell a soul.”
They continued up the stairs and Benny heard the telltale clinking of bottles from the box even through the loudening music.
“Wait, you’re all of age, right? Cause this is a lot of booze”, Benny asked, suddenly slightly worried about assisting these partiers.
“Oh yeah, don’t worry, we have a strict no minors policy!” Lily answered.
With that they reached the top of the stairs and Lily held open the door for him into the house.
Benny wasn’t fully prepared to the sight that greeted him.
Sure, he had seen his share of parties, especially with his boys, but these people were wild.
There were no more than twenty people in the room, but they were all dancing like no tomorrow. Benny doubted they even needed all the booze he was carrying to let loose like that.
He watched in awe the mass of bodies moving to the beat, everyone shaking, grinding, jumping, twisting, and twirling around without a care in the world.
“Who are these people?” He asked incredulously, eyes wide.
Lily laughed at his shock. “We’re the entertainment team! Most of us are dancers or come from a theater background. Now come on!” she said and led him deeper into the house.
Benny suddenly felt like some silly delivery boy, even though he was probably older than most of them, when he maneuvered around the dancing people, trying to watch his step. Some of them spared him curious glances before getting lost in the music again.
“I imagine you don’t dance like this during the day when you’re doing dance classes on the resort?” Benny joked, still trying to get his bearings.
“Oh hell no, this is just for our own entertainment here,” Lily laughed again.
Suddenly two more people burst through the door, arm in arm, and everyone cheered happily in greeting. 
A man and a woman, who Benny recognized as the lead dance instructors on the resort, joined the party, immediately grabbing drinks and making their way through the dancefloor.
Benny noticed how they seemed to greet everyone individually by dancing with them; how they took eye contact and often physical contact with everyone and danced with them for a while before moving on, each one with a slightly different way. It was like they were speaking to one another, all these bodies communicating through movement alone.
He was mesmerized looking at them both, the attractive couple that were clearly the life of the party. But he couldn’t take his eyes off the woman who seemed to move so easily, so freely, the joy and love she was feeling visible in her every movement.
Benny couldn’t believe this was the same woman who had taught a dance class to his nieces earlier that same day. Sure, he had noticed her even then, how could he not; she was very pretty.
But the woman he was seeing now was sexy, confident, nothing like Benny had seen before.
“Those are my friends Patrick and Jolene, they helped me get this job!” Lily shouted in his ear over the music.
“They seem to have great chemistry,” Benny remarked, his gaze still focusing mostly on Jolene.
“Yeah, it’s because they know each other so well. People always think they’re together --“ Benny certainly thought their very physical and intimate way of dancing would mean that “-- but they’re just best friends from a long time”, Lily chatted casually, oblivious to Benny’s thoughts.
Benny found his heart beating a little faster with this information, not that he really knew what to do with it.
His mouth was getting dry and he was breathing a little quicker. For fuck’s sake, he was getting a little turned on from watching her. Get it together man, he thought to himself.
Benny tried not to stare too hungrily; he didn’t want to be that creepy guy at the party that no one even knew.
The longer he watched these people dancing their hearts out the more he found himself slightly bopping along the beat, wishing he had a beer in hand, or maybe that he knew how to dance like they did.
______________
Jolene was enjoying herself, finally letting off steam after a hard day’s work. Few things on this earth made her happier than dancing, especially dancing with her best friend Patrick on these summer nights they got to spend together.
As she spun around in Patrick’s strong arms, she noticed the tall stranger standing near the back of the room next to Lily. Who the heck was this guy and where did he come from?
Jo tapped Patrick on the shoulder to let him know she was going to get something to drink and made her way through the crowd towards Lily and the stranger.
“Hey, Lil. Who’s your friend here?”
“Oh, this is Benny. He came with me.” Lily answered happily.
“Yeah, I, uh, helped her carry the box up here”, the guy, Benny, supplied shyly in a deep voice, pointing at the box in question.
Jo gave Lily a stern look. She really should’ve known better than to bring customers up here. These parties were kept a secret for a good reason, since they could all lose their jobs if the resort managers found out, but especially her and Patrick, because they were responsible for their team. And they were already on thin ice as it were, because, in Jo’s humble opinion, the managers were a bunch of jerks.
Lily just shrugged and Jo sighed deeply before turning to look at the man next to her, who, for some reason, was avoiding her gaze.
“Well, Benny, would you like to dance?” Jo thought she could size the guy up a little better if she could get him alone with her. She had to look after her team after all. Besides, he looked a little lonely, bopping along the music shyly. Maybe she could teach him a few things.
Benny looked a little startled, as he answered “Oh, I don’t know how to dance”.
“Don’t worry, I’ll teach you,” Jo said, pulling him on the dancefloor.
“C’mon, just follow my lead. Do this. And try to feel the rhythm.” Jo started showing him how to move to the beat, swaying from side to side.
“Good, now loosen your hips a little more,” Jo instructed, putting her hands on his hips and directing his movements.
Jo had to hand it to the guy; he was learning surprisingly quickly, and it was refreshing to see a man who was willing to try and learn dancing even if it was a bit awkward at first. His movements were a little stunted, but he clearly had a good ear for the rhythm. He was even smiling and laughing a little at his own awkwardness, but Jo could see he was also enjoying himself.
“Okay, now let’s try this. Follow my lead again,” Jo said, putting her hands on his broad shoulders. He was so tall she had to reach pretty far, but they managed it anyway. Jo stepped closer and started grinding against him, showing him how to move by using her own body to guide him.
Slowly Benny was easing into it, even putting his arms on her waist.
“Okay, you’re getting the hang of it now!” Jo smiled at him proudly and he grinned back.
_______________
Benny was actually enjoying himself. He was dancing with a gorgeous woman and he wasn’t making a complete and total fool of himself. He considered that a victory at this point.
He just knew Santi would be laughing his ass off if he could see Benny now. Will probably would tease him too.
Benny grinned at the thought. But hey, they weren’t here and he was having fun so who cares, he thought.
Although he had to admit, he was still a little shocked at the fact that this amazing dancer was dancing with him and even looking like she wasn’t completely hating it.
He was still a little dazed when the song ended and Jolene patted his arm, told him “See you around” and bounced her way to the middle of the crowd again.
“Yeah, uh, see ya,” Benny muttered after her, standing awkwardly on the edge of the dancefloor.
Deciding he had probably already overstayed his welcome Benny readjusted his hat on his head and quietly headed out to the warm night air again.

Ngl I’ve been thinkin over the brother’s fears stuff from the most recent (?) lessons (bc I’m a dirty cheat and saw spoilers so ofc I went and looked up as much shit as I could) and like,
Ok shovin thots under the cut bc it got long oop. Also bc spoilers but y’know.
1 - Lucifer thinkin the “light” (which is ofc God lbr) was his fear despite not fearin it at all is p. weird. Like there was no hesitation, no fear. He just looked at it and went “ew it’s you never thot I’d see you again” and killed it. So clearly that’s NOT his actual fear. Def. Simeon’s I think, like he says a lil later.
So either Lucifer knew it was Simeon’s and “claimed” it to save Simeon’s feelins or smthn or he legit figured it was his fear bc the only thing he could think to be scared of is the guy who threw him out. 
Which like. Is such a fuckin non-answer re: his actual fear (tho he did say once goin back to the Celestial Realm was his “greatest fear” or smthn so maybe that’s still true so they didn’t figure that bringin it up again’d be that fun), but is interestin bc it says a lot abt how he sees God. 
Like. He got beat and kicked out and had his sister (almost) killed, but he’s still got 0 goddamn fear of his dad. Literal creator of everything God with a capital G don’t scare him. I figure bc he already did the worst thing he could’a done, and he survived that, so what else’s there to fear?
Tho it bein Simeon’s fear is... hm. Def. makes it sound like Simeon’s fearin seein God again. Either bc that’s just smthn any angel’d fear - maybe they only see God one-on-one if they’ve done smthn wrong so that’d be like seein your headteacher pop up outta nowhere, knowin he only comes outta the teacher’s room when you done fucked up - or bc he’s hidin smthn that makes seein God a really Bad Thing. Guilt or worries over some kinda sin? 
I mean duh. He’s in love with MC. That ain’t a hidden thing anymore. He’s kissed MC plenty times and I think even said the L-word once or twice. That’s def. grounds to get murderised (as we know, RIP Lilith). 
Also hella interestin in a metaphorical sense tho. Like, God’s a light. Simeon’s scared of somethin comin to light. Da-dum-tss, but what a hella cool way of showin that it’s a (technical) secret that’s got him all wound up.
2 - Mammon and Levi both fearin demon-form Lucifer is... understandable, but also kinda sad. Like, legit sad, not “wow ur so sad lol”. 
Levi’s way of sayin it makes sense tho. Lucifer only goes full demon form when he’s hella pissed, or outta control. He’s so damn powerful he don’t need to go into that form often, bc he can handle p. much anythin without it - plus he’s just got a p. good control on himself, so no accidental demon-form slips.
Unless ofc he’s so fuckin angry that it just leaps out. We’ve seen it. He gets murderous, and boom - form’s out. Or, situation’s so damn dire it’s got him on edge, and boom - form’s out. Him bein in demon form’s never good.
But him bein in demon form and after them is even worse.
Makes me wonder tho. If it’d just been angry Lucifer, why’d Levi specify it as his demon form’s anger? He gets angry at them hella often, and Mams esp. is strung up p. much daily, so clearly they’re not scared of him bein angry at them. 
It’s him bein angry at them while enraged. So either they’ve both pissed him off before bad enough that he’s gone full demon form, and whatever happened then was so fuckin terrifyin they’ve never recovered from it, 
Or they know that demon form Lucifer is scary shit, and even tho he’s not gone for them like that before, it’s smthn they’re terrified of in principle. Like, you’ve seen your dad mad on the phone before, and he’s never yelled at you like that, but you know he’s capable of it and that’s terrifyin as shit bc what if you do smthn that pisses him off enough to yell at you like that?
A lil part of me leans towards the latter bc tho they were scared it wasn’t smthn Levi said as tho it’d happened. More like smthn he’s hypothetically scared of. Plus idk what times Lucifer’d be so pissed he goes full rage at them? His demon form’s only really come out when the family’s in danger. Even shit like Lotan bein summoned don’t usually end in a demon form Lucifer (I’m p. sure anyway).
3 - Ok so like who was surprised by this. Asmo’s beauty is p. integral to who he is. He’s nothin if he’s not beautiful, and that’s what I think scares him. Not the bein ugly, but that bein ugly means he’s not Asmo.
Means he can’t get the attention he needs, can’t be loved by ppl, won’t get all the adoration and affection - he won’t be popular. And Asmo hella needs to be reassured that he’s pretty and loved. It’s who he is and what his identity is based on. 
Plus we’ve seen I’m p. sure a couple scenes where he’s been a lil worried/nervous abt if MC likes him for him. Beyond the beauty. He legit don’t think there’s anythin worth lovin if he’s not pretty, so ofc him bein ugly’s gonna be his biggest fear. Bc who’s gonna love him then. 
4 - Also smthn no-one’s gonna be surprised by. It’s his whole sense of identity. That’s not gonna go away for him overnight, y’know? The fact that it was angel Lucifer, tho - not just, like, normal Lucifer - was a p. cool touch.
That’s his roots. Not Lucifer the demon - Lucifer the angel. That’s what he’s based on. Smthn he never was but was always part of. 
He’s legit just the Lil Hal-Dirk connundrum which jfc that’s showin my fandoms huh. Is smthn that comes from smthn else its own unique person, or is it just a copy that’s always gonna get drawn back to what it was? How can it be original when everythin it is came from smthn else? 
That’s a hell of an identity crisis. Even bein Wrath and bein p. physically different and even likin different shit’s not enough to stop that feelin of ig imposter syndrome? Or of just bein a fragment of smthn else. Esp. when you know everyone else’s their own damn being. No one can understand where he’s comin from bc his “birth” was totally unique. He’s not just, like, Lucifer’s son or whatever - he’s legit a part of Lucifer’s emotions that just got plopped out one day. 
(Except ofc he’s not bc Lucifer knew he was different and felt him like a different presence for a while before the Fall but Satan’s got his memories and that’s kinda like bein someone anyway, ain’t it?)
So yeah, not surprisin, but also? I rlly hope he gets confident in who he is one day. Legit the idea that he’s still sittin there goin “who am I?” just hurts. 
5 - This bitch got trauma. Lbr it was either gonna be Belphie or it was gonna be Lilith and we all knew that was comin. Beel’s still not over the death of Lilith and his “role” in it (bc survivor’s guilt is a bitch and he’s still thinkin “not being able to save two ppl in two different places at the same time” is a sin), so losin anyone else is gonna hurt him.
But bein the reason he lost them? Oh that’s gonna hurt him even more. Esp. with the blame he’s still puttin on himself. It’s one thing to be like the passive cause that someone died but bein the active cause? Even by accident? Poor Beel. 
I don’t think anythin could’a been worse for him. That ain’t just a fear, that’s outright smthn he’s still strugglin with PTSD over. Like hell no shit he almost/did break down over it, that’s just shovin a trigger right in his face. 
6 - Bein alone, bein abandoned, not bein able to find anyone in pure darkness. That’s... damn. Either that’s lingerin trauma from bein locked up in the attic, knowin that no one was gonna find him or could hear him (which, fuck, how much did he try’n call for his brothers to come get him only to realise no one was gonna come?), or smthn set up that fear before the attic and the attic just made it hells of worse.
Like that wasn’t just “bein in a room apart from ppl”, it was outright “not knowin where anyone is, or seein/hearin/feelin them”. Total sensory deprivation. 
Oh. His worst fear’s not feelin anythin. That’s. Y’all. 
Idk how to end this now I’m just big hurty thinkin abt the last two jfc. No wonder Belphie’s always wantin to be asleep next to smthn. “He sleeps better with someone there” no sir you just hella fear sleepin bc your sin’s legit exactly what you’re terrified of and havin smthn there’s the best way to fix it.

Here is a link to my Masterlist with all the WIP I have! 
Clyde wasted no time making you cum after you screamed at the top of your lungs when Mellie hung up. Rolling off of him onto the floor you blew into the bathroom. Showering away the tears, and other bodily fluids that stained your body. You heard the bed creak and footsteps leading to the bathroom. 
“Y’okay sunshine?” Clyde spoke from behind the shower doors. 
You couldn’t respond. You were so upset with yourself, you just needed to wash away the sins and go face Mellie with a somewhat clear conscience. The door cracked slightly and Clyde peered inside, concern coloring his face. 
“Do y’ want me t’ wait outside?” 
“No, I just, I don’t,” you hiccuped between breaths, “Just get in dammit.” 
He quickly slipped in and positioned himself behind you and tried to get under the water to clean his face and hand from your juices. 
“I just feel shitty, not about what we did, just that I forgot about her…” 
“I know, I forgot too, y’ don’ have t’ be so harsh on yerself.” 
“Ughhhh,” you let out and laid your head against Clydes’ broad chest. “I’m not mad at you, I just wish Mellie wasn’t mad at me.” 
“She’ll get over it, don’ worry.” He kissed the top of your head and wrapped his arms around you, his hand tracing up and down your spine. You looked up at him and placed a kiss on his beard. 
“Thank you,” you sighed, “Now let’s wash off and get going.”
-----
The ride to Duck Tape was quick, Clyde told you to follow him to the salon since you had never been before. You decided to drive in silence, wrecking your brain trying to figure out how to casually talk about your phone conversation. Had she really heard Clyde? Was she just messing with you? Clyde was sure Mellie would get over it, in fact, he said she was rooting for the two of you and was one of the masterminds behind getting you to the bar. So it was kind of her fault you ended up together. No like she forced you to ride his beautiful face but come on there was room to share the blame. 
The both of you pulled into the salon and you shut off your car and made it out as slowly as possible. You were dragging your feet to the front door, even though Clyde was far enough in front to hold the door open you semi wished he had gone inside by himself. 
Mellie was sitting in a salon chair, arms crossed, legs crossed, tapping her heel away on the tile. She stared at the two of you with unforgiving eyes, it felt like she was staring into your soul. 
“Hey Mellie, we made it…” you stuttered. 
“I take it y’all had a nice morning?” her eyes narrowed at the both of you. 
Gulping you looked at Clyde who was trying his hardest not to make eye contact with his sister. You were on your own. 
“I’m really so-“
Mellie burst out in laughter. 
“You two look so damn guilty!” She started holding her sides and tried to calm herself down but burst into another fit of giggles when Clyde turned around and walked outside. 
“I can’t even believe you answered your phone!” she motioned out to Clyde, “while doing THAT, with Clyde!” 
“Mellie I’m sorry, I wasn’t expecting-“ you tried to explain yourself but found her laughter infectious. You started laughing and Mellie ran over to you and took you in a hug. 
“Now I know you’re sorry, just don’t make me go through that again, please.” 
“I won't, I promise!” 
You felt so relieved. You thought she was mad at you, but really she was so tickled by how stupid you were and clearly how horny you were to just answer the phone during a moment like that. She explained that her husband had always tried to do shit like that when she was on the phone but she never let him get away with it. You seemed to have changed her mind though. 
After a few minutes chatting about your evening, leaving out spicy bits for Clyde's benefit, you went outside to wrangle in Clyde. 
“You can come in now, she's not mad at us,” walking over to him sitting on the hood of his car. 
“I know she ain’t,” he sighed “it’s embarrassin’ though, I don’ want her thinkin’ of me like that.” 
“Don’t beat yourself up, now let’s get our hair cut and just move on with our day, okay?” 
Clyde grumbled as you pulled him up by his hands. Following you back inside Mellie did Clyde's hair first, seeming to try and get him to relax. You tried to strike up a conversation with Mellie since he was in no mood. 
“So Mellie, who is your husband?” you couldn’t remember if she had told you last night or not so it seemed like a good starting point.
“Oh his name's Joe Bang, we’ve been together for a couple years.” 
“How’d you two meet?” 
Mellie paused and shared a weird look with Clyde before answering. 
“Um I met him in 2017, he and Clyde were in prison-“ 
“Mellie,” Clyde growled at her. 
Prison? Clyde was in prison? This was news… 
“Wait what? Clyde, you were in prison?” you stared at him dumbfounded. How long was he in prison, why would Mellie marry a convict that Clyde met? Why did this never come up!? 
“Anyway, I started seein’ Joe after he got out and we got married about a year ago.”
“Oh okay… well, that’s nice,” you were trying to play off the bombshell that she dropped. 
Clyde's hair was finished in silence, as the two of you switched seats he hovered over you. 
“Sunshine, I gotta head home n’ take care of the horses n’ Leroy. I’ll be at the bar if y’ what t’ stop by.” 
“Okay, I’ll see you later?” offering him a smile in hopes he would tell you about the ‘prison’ thing at some point. Leaning down he kissed your forehead before walking out. 
—— 
Clyde did not want to leave yet. He was so worried about Mellie and (Y/N) being alone together. There were so many things they could talk about in his absence. He wasn’t sure how the salon trip was going to go but he did not expect it turning out like that. He wasn’t expecting Mellie to start laughing at them when they came in, nor was he expecting her to bring up his time at Monroe.
He wasn’t ready to tell (Y/N) bout that yet, he was scared she would run away. He didn’t want her thinkin’ he was a criminal, he wasn’, he just didn’ drive ‘legally’ and he may have robbed a speedway. 
No big deal right? 
Right? 
It wasn’ long before Clyde made it home. He was greeted by Leroy at the front door who was so happy to see him. He had Earl come by and give him his medicine last night, and he was sure he hadn’t fed him enough. 
“Come on in Leroy, let’s get y’ some late breakfast.” 
Clyde was a good pet owner. He didn’ feed Leroy any artificial shit that clogged their arteries. He was a firm believer in givin’ dogs natural foods. So he was spoiled. Spoiled rotten, every mornin’ Clyde would make Leroy some bacon n eggs and they’d sit together before seein’ the horses. It wasn’ that Clyde meant to overfeed him, he just would beg him if he didn’ share his food and he couldn’ stand his puppy eyes. 
Clyde took the same care with feeding out to the horses, making sure that they were well fed with the best oats and hay that money could buy. Since he took them to shows he wanted to make sure their coats were shiny and they were healthy weights all year round. 
The silence around the barn calmed him, he had had a rough go of things as of late. Ever since meetin’ (Y/N), his usual routines were plagued with emptiness. He had felt it the day he met her and couldn’ shake the feelin’ that he was missin’ out on her company. 
She had such a warmth to her, genuine and caring. Albeit clumsy and a lil stubborn but she seemed to like him which in theory should’ve been enough. But no. 
It wasn’ enough. 
Every time Clyde was around (Y/N) he felt like he couldn’ get enough. He needed to show her how he felt, but now he was worried that she would be scared away from him. 
Makin’ his way back to the house he heard a beep from the answering machine. A message? Must’ve just missed the call… 
“Hey Clyde, it’s (Y/N). I just got done with my hair and was hopin’ we could talk and stuff. Call me back?” 
Shit. 
Clyde quickly grabbed the phone and began dialin’ (Y/N)’s number. He was prepared for the worst, she would want him to leave her alone after this mornin’. Clearly Mellie had told her about his sentencin’ and now she thinks he’s a know good criminal. He held his breath until the phone picked up. 
“Hello, this is (Y/N).”
“Hi, it’s Clyde,” he cleared his throat, “M’ sorry I missed yer call.”
“Oh, Hi Clyde!” 
“What did y’ want t’ talk about?”
A pause. 
“Well I just,” (Y/N) let out a long breath, this was it, “I just wanted to talk about us…I just don’t feel comfortable continuing-”
Clyde took a deep breath, “Ya I know darlin’, M sorry fer puttin’ y’ in those situations. I’ll let y’ be-”
“Clyde, will you let me finish?”
“O’course, sorry.” 
“I don’t feel comfortable continuing without us being…” another pause, “exclusive?”
Clyde dropped the phone. He was so sure she was goin’ to call and tell him to take a hike but now? Now she was tellin’ HIM, that she wanted to be exclusive! He scrambled and picked the phone up and (Y/N) didn’ seem to notice he was absent since she was still prattlin’ on ‘bout their situation. 
“Would y’ like t’ do horseback ridin’ Saturday?” he interrupted her word vomit. 
“Uh, well yes, but that doesn’t answer my earlier-”
“M’ not gonna ask y’ on the phone t’ be my girl, so jus’ be ready fer Saturday.” 
“Okay, I’ll see you Saturday, bye Clyde.”
“Bye Sunshine.”
-----
You hung up the phone after Clyde said goodbye and nearly screamed into your pillow. You couldn’t believe Clyde was taking you horseback riding, it had been years since you rode one. Not since your days back in Montana for vet school. You didn’t even own riding clothes. You would have to go shopping, maybe Mellie would go with you and get you all set up before Saturday. 
It was a whole week away so you had time to prep, you were so relieved that Clyde had asked you out. It wasn’t a traditional date but Clyde wasn’t really a traditional guy you were finding out. Mellie had told you all about him after he left the salon. 
About how back in high school he was on the rodeo team and rode broncos at the fairs, Jimmy their oldest brother apparently was the football star so Clyde had tried to make himself someone different. Mellie also told you about him going overseas to Iraq. You didn’t want to pry Clyde about his arm but you had noticed his tattoo while the two of you were intimate and obviously had to ask someone. Apparently Clyde was a Green Beret in the Army for two tours before he was discharged due to the bomb blowing his lower forearm off. You couldn’t believe that he still was so independent. That type of injury had to have been so traumatic, but it was clear he took comfort in the animals and people he surrounded himself in. 
Walking over to your closet you ripped through half your clothes to try and find an appropriate outfit for riding. What was Clyde planning? Were you just doing a day ride, or were you doing an overnight camping trip? You should’ve asked more questions. Whipping through dozens of drawers of clothes you found nothing. Nothing that screamed ‘please make me your girlfriend’ with subtle tones of ‘fuck me in the bushes’. 
You wasted about ten minutes before caving and calling Mellie, telling her all about Clydes ‘plan’ to take you riding after you pushed about your relationship. Mellie squealed when she heard that Clyde was taking you on a ride and insisted on just the place to go shopping tomorrow for your outfit. 
——
Monday morning had come quickly and you were eager to get done so you could meet Mellie at the salon. You had no clue what to buy but you had been browsing online at boots and already had a few in mind. 
You also were meant to stop and grab some intimate wear in case things got spicy with Clyde while on the ride. 
Patients were coming in left and right, you barely had time to breathe between rooms. Between the vaccines and frantic pet owners coming in because their animals were overheating in the West Virginian heat, you couldn’t catch a break. 
Finally, 2 o’clock rolled by and you could check your phone and eat your lunch before closing in an hour. Plopping down in your office you started inhaling food and scrolled through your notifications. Texts and phone calls from patients were all over along with Snapchat’s from your old college friends, but one text caught your eye. 
It was an unknown number. 
Hi Sunshine, can I ask you a question? 
Must be Clyde, he’s the only one that calls you that. 
Of course, what’s up? 
Setting your phone down to gather your stuff to head to Mellies, it buzzed again. 
Are you allergic to anything? 
What? What could he possibly be asking about your allergies for?

MASTERLIST // DARYL DIXON MASTERLIST
Tumblr media
The rapid wind made your hair flow as you rode with Daryl on his bike, tapping a rhythm on his chest and probably annoying him in the process, but he showed no sign of stopping you. The group had settled into the prison not that long ago and were in desperate need of supplies especially baby formula. Judith had came into the world while Lori left it and it took a toll on everyone, some more than others. You were known to have a bubbly personality, someone always in high spirits, outgoing and an all around fun person who made lots of jokes, so when Lori died, you did your best to bring good vibes and cheer everyone up. Cooked, cleaned, read, played games, anything to help… Rick even yelled at you for being so happy in a time like that. 
He was grieving, so you did your best not to take it to heart, but it still stung a little. You were saddened by Lori’s death, she was one of the first people you had gotten to know when you came to the quarry, but you didn’t want to bury yourself in your cell… she wouldn’t want that and neither did you. Other than Lori, you were close with Rick, despite him lashing out at you, the whole Greene family including Glenn, and Daryl… the one you loved in a different way. 
Daryl and you were close, very close. Your personalities clashed at first since he closed himself off, never letting anyone get too close where as you welcomed it. It wasn’t until you all had arrived at the C.D.C that you and the hunter’s relationship took a turn for the better. Everyone was having a joyous time, dining together and drinking, and so when it was time to go to bed, you and Daryl had other plans. You talked and talked for hours, drunk off your asses, laughing and having a great time, just getting to know each other more. After that, he was more comfortable with you and even sparked up conversations first which made your heart swell. You both were in a comfortable place and you didn’t want to disturb it or even lose him if you admitted your feelings. Since that day, you two have been inseparable since, tied to each others hip and paired with one another every time like this run you were on. 
Daryl slowly pulled up to a vast grocery store containing all the items you needed to tie you guys over for a while. You swung your leg off the bike and grabbed two bags, handing one to the archer as he stood up and picked up his crossbow to secure it over his shoulder. When you entered the store, you parted ways to cover more ground and get the supplies you needed so you could get out quicker. As you were walking down the chip aisle, you were met with a walker who was staring intensely at a bag of chips and it made you giggle. “What?” you teased, wielding out your hunting knife and holding it out in a questionable manner. “Want some chips?” 
The walker swung in the direction you were at and groaned, stumbling over to you as if it were drunk. When it got in arms length of you, you kicked it in the torso and shook your head as it fell to the ground. It got up and growled louder, charging for you, so you grabbed its neck and held it there. “Can ya stop teasin’ the damn thing ‘n kill it?” 
You smirked looking to the side to see Daryl in the corner of your eye as you plunged your knife into its skull before it dropped with a thud. “What? I can’t have a lil fun?” you quipped, turning to grab your favorite chips off the shelf. Daryl strode over to you and bumped your shoulder when he stood next to you, watching as you plopped a couple in your mouth. You took a few more and held them to his mouth, gesturing him to open wide. He complied and you carefully shoved them in before lightly patting your palm under his chin with a grin. “M’thanks,” he said as he chewed. 
You smiled as you nodded, rolling up the chips so you could stuff it in your bag to take with you. “Alright,” you said as you put your finger in your mouth to get anything that was stuck on or in your teeth. “I won’t get distracted, promise.” You crossed your heart and Daryl gave you a look, wanting you to say more, making you roll your eyes. “And that also includes not teasing the creeps or eating everything I find.” Daryl smirked and nodded, satisfied with your answer and walked past you, but not before he grabbed the back of your head to kiss the top of it. You smiled and looked over your shoulder as he went down the aisle, feeling the butterflies in your stomach go berserk. ‘Y/N, you’re getting distracted… something you promised you wouldn’t do.’ 
Your mind was right, you needed to focus and grab the shit you needed to bolt out of there. Judith needed formula bad and there was no time for drooling over food… or Dixon. It had been at least thirty minutes of seeking out the goods you needed and you even snagged a miniature bag of peanuts to snack on while you went to look for your partner in crime. You softly hummed a tune to yourself and threw your head back to chew on more peanuts before seeing Daryl’s figure through the shelves. The bag of items you gathered were draped over your shoulder and you were casually rummaging through your snack, snatching as many as you could. “Hey, Dare, what’d you find…” 
You instantly tossed the bag of nuts, dropped your grocery bag and whipped out your pistol in a blink of an eye, glaring at a mysterious man who was aiming a gun of his own at Daryl. “Woah, there buddy, what’s goin’ on here?” you questioned, scanning his figure, reading his body language before taking a peek at Daryl. He had his hands at his sides in a semi casual stance, but you could see a hint of tension in his toned muscles. His crossbow was across the floor where the guy stood, it was obvious he instructed Daryl to slide his weapon over. 
“Drop the weapon, lady. I don’ wanna shot no one, but I will,” he said in a wavering voice, looking between you and Daryl as if you’d make a sudden move, he was clearly nervous. 
“I’m sorry, sir, but I can’t do that,” you solemnly replied, earning a scolded look from the hunter. You knew before you even answered the man that Daryl wouldn’t approve, he would want you to abide and you’d both figure a way out of it, but you couldn’t do that… you wouldn’t. Your choice in the matter changed in a second once he cocked his gun, ready to shoot at Daryl. “Okay! Fine! You win, I’m puttin’ it down,” you shouted, slowly bending down and placing your gun on the cold tiled floor, not caring if it was a bluff, you weren’t about to take that chance. He motioned with his head for you to kick it over to him, so you scooted it with the side of your foot next to the archer’s bow. 
“Go stand next to your boyfriend,” he demanded, gaining more confidence since he was in total control of the situation, but it was all a mask. He was a coward, but you needed to boost him, remind him of his authority in the situation. Daryl was in fact, not your boyfriend, but you two knew better than to correct him. You quickly stepped over to Daryl and he instinctively pushed you behind him and grabbed onto your hand tightly making it almost go numb. “You’re in control, so what now?” you spoke up as you watched the man stare at the two of you, not knowing what to do. 
“I’m goin’ get what I came here for, so don’t try nothin’” he responded, going to the shelf behind him and dumping cans in his bag while occasionally looking over his shoulder at you and Daryl with caution. You squeezed your protector’s shoulder with your other hand that wasn’t being smothered by his and placed your cheek against his upper arm, watching the man clear the shelves. Daryl’s orbs flickered between his crossbow and the man, and you lightly shook your head once he looked at you thinking it wasn’t a good idea. He let go of your hand anyways, so you loosened your grasp on him as he stealthed his way to the weapons on the ground while the man was occupied. You eyed the man, hoping he didn’t glimpse over in your direction, but sure enough he peered over and his eyes widened, making yours do the same. He reached for his gun and you shouted, running towards Daryl and shoving him out the way before feeling a piercing pain in your abdomen as you stood in place of the archer.
Daryl had fallen on his side and removed his arms from his face that he covered out of instinct, and stared at your stomach with shock. The man glanced at the gun in his hand, traumatized of what he had done and bolted towards the exit. Daryl was brought out of his trace and reached for your discarded pistol, firing a couple shots at the man who had just shot you three times, but the archer missed every single one of them. You dropped to your knees, tears streaming down your face, clutching your stomach with your mouth agape as Daryl slid his knees across the tile to get to you. 
Blood was pouring out of you at an alarming rate, staining your white t-shirt as you laid on the cold floor, making you lightly chuckle. “Bad time… to wear… white, huh?” you joked, struggling to breathe and it made Daryl’s brow crease together as he tried to stop the bleeding. “Yer makin’ jokes at a time like this?! What the hell were ya thinkin’?!” he yelled, voice cracking as his hands were slipping, coated in your blood. 
“I… I was thinking…” you said before trying to shallow, groaning at the pain it caused to do such a simple task. “He had a… a gun aimed at the… person I love most in the world… and people… people do crazy things when they’re in love… Daryl… Dixon,” you mustered up a closed lipped smile, slowly raising your shaky red hand to caress his cheek. Daryl instantly covered your hands with his and shut his eyes, bowing his head as he cried.  
“I’ve already lost my brother… I can’t lose ya too, Y/N.” Daryl whimpered before sniffing and rubbing his nose, trying his best to suck his emotions back in for your sake. He began stuffing your pistol in the back waistband of his jeans and slung his crossbow along with the filled grocery bags over his shoulders. He picked you up bridal style and kicked the store door, breaking the glass and striding through it to get to his motorcycle. You wanted to fight him, to tell him there was no point in trying to save you, you were most likely going to die within the next few minutes due to blood loss, but you didn’t want to waste the last of your energy to argue. Besides, Daryl’s a stubborn man and you knew you couldn’t talk him into doing such a thing, he wouldn’t let you. 
Daryl carefully seated you down on his bike, your back facing the handlebars. “I know it hurts, but try ta sit up for me,” he said before he hurriedly secured the bags and his crossbow at the back. The scorching sun was beating down on your pale, clammy face as you leaned against the bars, holding your wounds tightly as you waited for Daryl. He hopped on the bike and carefully, but quickly scooted you flush against him so your chests were touching and your thighs were on top of his. The hunter revved the two wheeled vehicle and took off wasting no time in getting you back to the prison. While still clutching your stomach, you lazily wrapped your free hand around his torso and rested your head on his shoulder, nuzzling his neck and smirked as the air cooled your sweaty skin. You withdrew your arm from around his torso and brought your hand up to settle on his neck, rubbing circles around it. “If… I die-” 
“Nah, don’ say that,” Daryl interjected before you could finish your sentence and you shakily lifted your head to peer at him. He quickly looked at you with watery eyes that were mournful and his lip quivered, but he suppressed it as he tore his crystal blue off of you to focus back on the road. 
“If. I. Die…” you emphasized, earning Daryl to sorrowfully close his eyes at the thought before staring at the road again. “This is what I would want as I did… to be in your arms… riding on your… bike, feelin’ the breeze on… my… skin,” you chuckled and this time you didn’t feel any pain at the action, just peace. “I… love you… Daryl.”
“I love ya too, Y/N.” Daryl kissed the top of your head and rested his chin on your head, getting closer to the prison, just a couple more minutes and you’d be there. The hunter’s heart dropped when your gripped loosened from his neck and dropped in your lap, he glanced down and saw that your eyes were closed and you were limp, the color of your skin drained. “Please don’ go!” He desperately shouted before he called your name and shook you, swerving slightly as he did, trying to multitask, but you wouldn’t budge. Once the prison came into view, he screamed at the top of his lungs for someone to open the damn gate and didn’t show no sign of stopping if no one did. Carol bolted inside the prison while Rick and Carl scurried their way to the gate doors, opening them just in time for Daryl to barrel through and drive up the grass to get close to the prison doors. 
Daryl swung your arms around his neck and lifted you up by thighs, holding them by his waist, keeping you close to his chest as your head lolled underneath his chin. Carol and Hershel rushed out the door and met Daryl at the top of the stairs. “What in the hell happened?” 
“Some asshole held me at gunpoint! He tried shootin’ me, but ended up shootin’ Y/N since she pushed me outta the way, jus’ save her!” Daryl yelled in a panic as they all sped into the prison. Glenn, Maggie, and Beth, who was holding Judith, were all standing up due to the commotion. Maggie gasped and covered her mouth as tears flowed and Glenn brought her to his chest. “Maggie, I know, but I need ya to help me, hun,” her father said, making her nod and quickly go aid him. 
Carol and Rick brought one of the morgue trays they had at the prison and placed it in one of the empty cells. Daryl gently placed you on the metal table before Hershel checked your pulse and the hunter stared at him, scared that his expression would morph into what Daryl refused to accept. “Her pulse is faint, but it’s there. I need everyone out except Maggie and Carol,” the doctor instructed before listing off things he needed to Maggie who then left to get the supplies. 
“Nah, I ain’t leavin’ her doc,” Daryl said as he held your hand, but Hershel shook his head and apologized, stating he needed the room, but that he’d give updates on your condition throughout. Daryl stood there not wanting to leave you and any other time he would fight it, but you needed to be operated on stat. The archer rubbed your hand with his thumb before he placed his hand on your head, stroking your hair as he gave a lingering kiss on your forehead. 
After hours and hours of constantly chewing his thumb, tapping his foot, and pacing throughout the common area of the prison, Maggie slowly walked out of the hallway that led to the cells. Daryl’s head snapped up and once he saw the brunette smile through her tears and nod, he smiled as well, feeling a weight lift off his shoulders. He looked back behind her, asking with his eyes if he could go back and see you to which Maggie stepped to the side, gesturing him to go on ahead. Daryl peered over at Rick and the southern smiled ushering him to go, but Daryl gave Maggie a hug and thanked her before he did.
Daryl peeked into the room, standing outside the door and leaning against the door frame. Hershel was checking your heartbeat and blood pressure while Carol tucked you in the bed they moved you in. Daryl’s orbs gawked at the floor and table; blood littered them both, tools were scattered on the metal table, and bandages and towels were across the floor. Carol gave Daryl an empathetic smile before following where his eyes were. “I’ll clean it up, even find a rug and put it in here to cover the stains,” she said, making the hunter tear his eyes off of the horror and nod at her idea. After Carol cleaned up a bit and Hershel informed Daryl on your condition, he was left alone to be with you.  
Two weeks had gone by and you were finally able to permanently get out of that god forsaken bed on Hershel’s orders, the prison actually felt more like a prison than a home at that point. The sun was setting and you had stepped outside down to the gate that opened into the front yard of the prison all by yourself. Daryl would take you on ten minute walks around the prison, but to finally be outside and get some fresh air felt amazing. You had your arm at your side while the other was on top of your bandaged stomach, looking out over the trees where yellows and oranges with a mix of reds filled the sky. 
A pair of strong arms wrapped around you, just under your breasts and you giggled when you felt scruff tickle your neck, and went to place your hands on top of his forearms. He settled his chin on your shoulder and you turned to see the man you loved staring back at you with adoration. “Well, hello there to you too,” you cheekily said, pecking his nose, making his eyes flutter shut as he hummed in content. Daryl hooked his finger under your chin and gingerly kissed your lips before repeating what he reminded you everyday since you got shot.
 “I’m never lettin’ ya go.”

Diabolik Lovers LUNATIC PARADE ;; Ayato Route ー Chapter 1
Tumblr media
Yui: ( I have to retrieve my heart no matter what…! )
ー The scene starts in the carriage
Ayato: Oh, take a look, Chichinashi! The castle has come into view!
Yui: Eh...?
*Rustle*
Ayato: Heeh...Guess it’s to be expected with the ongoing Parade, but things seem pretty fired up in the surroundin’ city as well.
Hehe. I think we’re in for a good time...!
Yui: ...Hold up!
( A good time...? I thought we were going to look for my heart...? )
Ayato: Hm? Why are you frownin’...?
Ah. I bet you think that I’ve completely forgotten ‘bout your heart, aren’t you?
Yui: Uu...
Ayato: Hmph. How could I forget? I remember it very well!
But you know, we have to gather some information on this Walter guy first.
So I see no harm in enjoyin’ the Parade a lil’ while we’re at it?
Yui: Eeh...!?
( Can we really afford to take the slow approach...? )
...
Ayato: ...Are you that worried ‘bout your heart?
Yui: ...Well...
Ayato: Oi, listen up.
I’ll ensure you get your heart back.
So don’t worry. Trust me!
Yui: ...Yeah...
( ...Right. I’m the one who chose Ayato-kun after all...So I can’t lose faith... )
*Rustle*
Ayato: ...Puttin’ that aside, guess I’m take a lil’ break before we arrive at our destination.
That bein’ said, I’m gonna borrow your lap for a bit.
*Rustle*
Yui: ...! A-Ayato-kun!?
( He laid his head down in my lap...! )
*TIMESKIP*
Yui: ( Count Walter...I wonder why exactly he has stolen my heart...? )
( Um...I think it was called a ‘Kleinod’? )
( Apparently I’m still alive because one of those has been put inside of me to replace my heart but...Still... )
...
( ...Let’s not think about that now. Worrying myself sick won’t get us any further anyway. )
( It’s just like Ayato-kun said. I shouldn’t make myself unnecessarily anxious... )
Ayato: ...Zzー ...Zzー...
Yui: ( Fufu. Ayato-kun seems to be enjoying his nap... )
ー The carriage suddenly comes to a halt
*Rustle*
Yui: Kyaah...!
Ayato: Uwah!?
*THUD*
Ayato: ...Ow!!
Yui: ( ...! Ayato-kun was sent flying from the rebound...! )
A-Are you okay...!?
Ayato: T-The fuck!? I was sleepin’ so comfortably too...!
*Rustle*
Ayato: Oi, Familiar! Where did you learn to drive like that!? Cut the crap!
Familiar: M-My sincere apologies...! Someone suddenly jumped onto the road from behind the shadow of those trees...
Ayato: A person...? ...What? Who the fuck’s that bastard dressed in all black...?
Yui: ( ...A black-clad figure riding on a horse is blocking the path... )
( On top of that, he seems to be staring our way... )
Ayato: I don’t know what’s goin’ on but I don’t like this one bit...Fuck! Imma go give him a piece of my mind!
ー Ayato gets out of the carriage
 Yui: A-Ayato-kun...!
Ayato: Oi, don’t come down. Sit still and wait for me inside the carriage. ...Capiche?
ー He runs off
Yui: ( There he goes... )
( I wonder if he’ll be okay by himself...? )
ー The scene shifts to the outer area around Bernstein castle
Black-clad figure: ...
Ayato: Oi! Mr. Man in Black! You sure have some nerve to get in my way!
Who the fuck are you!? Get off your horse and name yourself!
*Thud*
Black-clad figure: ...I’m the gatekeeper.
Ayato: Gate...? Hmph! Strange name you’ve got there, mate!
Gatekeeper: I have no name. Gatekeeper...In other words, the one guarding the gate of the Demon World.
It is my duty to ensure that no unwanted intruders enter the Demon World...
I simply cannot allow that tainted woman who is neither demon nor human to set foot inside.
Ayato: Aah!? Oi, say that one more time?
She’s a tainted woman!? Imma send you straight flyin’ if you speak that sorta crap again!
ー The scene shifts back to the carriage
Yui: ( ...Oh no! I have to stop him! )
ー Yui rushes out of the carriage
Yui: Ayato-kun! Calm down!
Ayato: ...! Chichinashi!? Idiot! Why did you come out!?
Yui: Because...!
( At this rate, it’d turn into a fight... )
Gatekeeper: Hmph. I knew it...Oi, woman. You are under arrest.
*Thud*
Yui: Kyah...!
Ayato: ...! Not in my book! Let her go!!
*Rustle*
Gatekeeper: ...!
Ayato: You really think I’m gonna hand her over to some creep like you!?
Let’s go, Chichinashi! Run!!
Yui: Y-Yeah...!
ー The two of them start running as the scene shifts to Glimmer Main Street
Ayato: Haah...Haah...Seems like we got away somehow.
Even if he chases after us, we should be fine amidst this large of a crowd.
Yui: Right...
( Still...I wonder if we should have ran away...? )
( What did that person mean with ‘a tainted woman who is neither demon nor human...? )
( He must have been talking about me, right...? )
( Being here might be more dangerous in my current state than I thought... )
Ayato: ...Oi, what’s wrong? Why do you look so glum?
Yui: Eh...?
Ayato: ...Listen, Chichinashi. You are mine.
I definitely won’t let someone else have you.
So you’ve got nothin’ to worry ‘bout.
While I’m lookin’ for your heart, you can look ‘round the Parade and take it easy for a bit.
Yui: ( ...Ayato-kun... )
( Right. Ayato-kun’s with me after all...I’m sure everything will be fine. )
( I’m sure he’ll save me no matter what happens... )
Okay. I will.
Ayato: Mmh! Let’s go then.
Male Vampire A: Oi, did you see it? The poster on the plaza...
Female Vampire A: Yes. one of Karlheinz’ sons is on the wanted list, right?
Male Vampire A: Yeah, it’s Sakamaki Ayato...
Yui: ...!?
( Ayato-kun’s a wanted criminal...!? )
Ayato: Ah? What did you say ‘bout Yours Truly?
Male Vampire A: ...’Yours Truly’...? Could you be...Sakamaki...Ayato...?
Ayato: ...? I mean, yeah?
Yui: ( ...! Ayato-kun just revealed himself! I have to cover up for him!! )
Let’s go over there!
*Rustle*
Ayato: Aah? The fuck you doin’ all of a sudden...?
Yui: ( Either way, we have to get away from here...! )
ー Yui drags him away as the scene shifts to Aizen Alleyway
Ayato: ...Hmm, I see. I’m an outlaw, huh?
Well, I’m sure that ‘Gate’ guy or whatever his name was is behind it, right?
Hmph! He’s challengin’ me, huh? He’s got some balls then.
Yui: Anyway, that’s our current situation, so we should probably avoid crowded areas for now...
Ayato: ...Well, you might be right but...
...Say, Chichinashi?
Yui: Eh?
ー He pins her against the wall
*Thud*
Yui: ...Kyah!
Ayato: Aren’t you just makin’ up excuses ‘cause you want some private time with me...?
Yui: Eh...!?
Ayato: You should just be honest ‘bout it then. ...I don’t mind.
I was just ‘bout in the mood for that as well. Nn...
Yui: Nn...!
Ayato: Nn...Haah...
Yui: Haah...! Gosh, Ayato-kun! Now’s not the time for this...!
Ayato: Oh shut up. You’re the one who enticed me.
Come on, look this way. I’ll give you one more. Nn...
*Smooch*
Yui: ...
( ...It’s no use. I can’t push him away... )
ー Footsteps can be heard in the background
Male Vampire A: I could have sworn they went that way...
Ayato: ...!?
Yui: ( ...!! Somebody’s coming!! )
Ayato: ...Che. Seems like somethin’ got in the way. We’ll continue later. Come here!!
*Rustle*
Yui: Kyah...Ayato-kun, wait...!
ー They run off again to an underground passage
Ayato: Fuck...That Gate guy totally ruined our plans to enjoy the Parade...
Oi, Chichinashi. We’re takin’ a break. Now!
Yui:  A-A break...? Right here?
Ayato: ...Let’s see if there’s any good spots ‘round...Well, guess we can just open one of these doors at random...There!
*Thud*
Yui: ( ...! He’s opening doors without permission...! )
Ayato: Oh. Better than I expected. We can take a seat and rest here.
Yui: A-Ayato-kun...Couldn’t this be the basement of someone’s home...?
( He just invited himself in...We’ll get yelled at if they find us! )
ー The scene shifts to an underground room
Ayato: ...Heeh. Well, it’s a lil’ dusty in here, but I guess it’s more comfortable than the place we were at before...
Well thenー... Guess I’ll kick back and relax for a bit.
*Thud*
Yui: ( Ayato-kun totally made himself at home... )
Selection
→ Call him out (☾)
Yui: ( I should probably tell him... )
...Hey, Ayato-ku...
Ayato: Come on, you should sit down here with me. I’m sure you’re tired from runnin’ ‘round, right?
Yui: ( Is he looking out for me...? It’s kind of difficult to call him out now... )
→ Keep quiet 
Ayato: Come on, you should join me here as well.
Yui: S-Sure...
ー Yui takes a seat next to him
Yui: ( It can’t be helped...If the resident of this house were to come down here, we can just explain the situation to them... )
( ...However, if this person has seen the wanted poster...What will we do...? )
( Perhaps we should explain the circumstances to the Gatekeeper instead, )
( and have the wanted poster taken down...? But... )
ー A flashback ensues
Ayato: ...Listen, Chichinashi. You are mine.
I definitely won’t let someone else have you.
So you’ve got nothin’ to worry ‘bout.
ー The flashback ends
Yui: ( I truly felt happy to hear those words from Ayato-kun... )
( He got upset when the Gatekeeper called me a ‘tainted woman’ as well... )
( Despite some of his statements, I can tell he properly looks out for me... )
( I’ll stick to his plan for a while after all... )
( ...Wait, huh...? )
ー Ayato opens one of the cupboards
Ayato: Oi, Chichinashi! Check this out! There’s so much interestin’ stuff to find in this room!
Yui: ...Ayato-kun!?
( He went ahead and opened one of the cupboards...! )
A-Ayato-kun...! You’ll get scolded for looking through other people’s belongings...!
Ayato: Haah? Who cares? It’s not like I’m tryin’ to steal anythin’.
Anyway, look...You should join me here as weーー
*THUD*
Ayato: ...!? Uwah...!!
Yui: ( The cupboard...!! )
*CRASH*
Yui: ( O-Oh no...! It fell over...! )
Ayato: S-Shit...
ー Somebody rushes downstairs
???: ...Is someone there!?
Yui: ( ...! We’re busted! )
Ayato: ...Yeah. We let ourselves in for a bit, ‘kay?
House owner: ...! Who are you two!? What are you doing in someone else’s basement!?
Ayato: What do you mean...? Can’t you tell we’re takin’ a lil’ break here? Got a problem with that!?
House owner: Of course I do!!
Yui: A-Ayato-kun...!
We’re on the wanted list, so we have to somehow talk our way out before things escalate...!
Ayato: Che, shut up. I don’t need you tellin’ me that! ...There!
*THUD THUD*
House owner: Uwah!
Yui: ( He knocked over a different cupboard this time...! )
Ayato: Oi, Chichinashi! Now’s our chance! We’re gettin’ out of here!!
*Rustle*
Yui: Kyah...! W-Wait, Ayato-kun...!
ー The scene shifts back to Aizen Alleyway
Ayato: Haah...That was close...
Yui: ...Gosh, you definitely went too far just now!
Ayato: Aah!? Fuck off!
If we just stood ‘round there twiddlin’ our thumbs, we would have both gotten arrested!
Yui: ...Even so...!
Ayato: Anyway, we can’t return to the underground now...
...Guess we have no other choice. Okay, this way. Let’s go.
*Rustle*
Yui: ( ...But that’ll take us back to the plaza from earlier, no...? )
Ayato-kun, wait...! Where are you...?
Ayato: I’ve got an idea. ...Lend me your ear for a sec.
*Rustle rustle*
Ayato: There should be a dress shop right across the plaza. We’re gonna get ourselves some costumes there.
Yui: Costumes...?
Ayato: There’s plenty of people walkin’ ‘round dressed up as part of the Parade.
If we mix in with them, we’ll be able to proceed without gettin’ our cover blown, right?
Yui: ...I see! Way to go, Ayato-kun...!
Ayato: Heh! How’s that? Let me tell you, try and keep your head high. 
Bein’ all sneaky and trying to keep low will only make you stand out more in these kinds of situations.
Yui: ...Yeah, gotcha!
*TIMESKIP*
ー The scene shifts to the dress shop
Ayato: ...Phew. We made it to the store somehow.
Yui: ( Thank god... )
( I’m sure it’s because my heart is missing that nobody took notice of me, unlike the previous times I’ve been here...Right? )
( ...However, we can’t rest assured just yet. We have to make sure the employees don’t recognize us... )
Dress shop owner: Are you looking for something?
Ayato: Yeah! We want costumes for the Parade. For me...and for her as well.
Dress shop owner: Understood! In that case, I would highly recommend these outfits which came in just earlier today!
Ayato: Oh! Show us then!
Yui: ( ...Ayato-kun’s acting completely normal... )
( I guess nobody would suspect we’re wanted outlaws like this... )
Ayato: Hm...There’s quite the collection. Oi, Chichinashi. Which one do you want?
Yui: ...Hm, let’s see...
( If we want to conceal our faces, a mask might be good... )
*Rustle rustle*
Ayato: ...Hey, look at this one.
Yui: Eh?
*Rustle*
Ayato: You over there! Stop fooling around and make your choice already! Your sense of danger is severely lacking! 
Yui: ...!
Ayato: ...What do you think of these nose glasses? All I gotta do is part my hair differently (1) to complete the look!
Yui: ...Ayato-kun...Just now were you trying to...? 
( Imitate...Reiji-san...? )
Ayato: Hehe. Whatcha think? I sounded just like him, no?
Yui: ...Pfft....
Ayato: Ah! Why are you laughin’ your ass off!?
Yui: I-I mean...!
Ayato: ...You finally smiled. 
Yui: Eh...?
Ayato: You’ve had a frown on your face ever since we came here. 
Don’t blame me if it gives you wrinkles. (2)
Yui: ( Ayato-kun...He was trying to make me laugh on purpose... )
*TIMESKIP*
Ayato: ...’Kay, guess this will have to do for now...
Yui: ( We got masks and costumes for the both of us...I guess we’ll be okay now. )
( We kind of got caught up in the flow and spent quite some time inside the store. )
ー They leave the dress shop
Yui: ( Ah...! We accidentally walked out without our disguises. We have to get changed somewhere... )
Female Vampire A: ...Ah, hey...Aren’t they...? 
Male Vampire A: ...I’m positive! It’s those two from earlier...! Seize them!
Yui: ( T-Those people from earlier...! T-This is bad...!! )
Ayato: Oi, we’re makin’ a run for it, Chichinashi! Come here!!
Yui: Y-Yeah!
ー They run towards the wagon area
Male Vampire A: They went that way!
Yui: ( They’ll catch us at this rate! )
Ayato: Fuck! No way I’m lettin’ myself get caught so easily!
Female Vampire A: They went that way!
Ayato: Oi, Chichinashi! We’re takin’ a shortcut! This way!
Yui: Eh!?
Crepe vendor: Crepes! Who’s in the mood for a fresh crepe?
Ayato: Get out of the way!
*THUD*
*CRASH*
Crepe vendor: Uwaah! My stall!
Yui: ( H-How terrible...! )
Ayato-kun, you can’t do such a thing...!
Ayato: Whatever, just follow me! Do you want to get caught!?
*Rustle*
Yui: Kyaah...!
( Even if he says that, this is messed up!! )
ー The two of them flee to Aizen Alleyway
Ayato: Haah...Haah...Che, a dead end...
It can’t be helped...I’ll just jump up in the air the...Uwah!?
*Flip*
Ayato: The fuck!? ...Wait, this is...
Yui: ...! Could this be...
( It’s our...wanted notice, right? But...these portraits... )
( ...They look nothing like us...actually... )
Ayato: ...Hahaha....Ahahaha!
What’s this? Who made these sloppy drawings?
Yui: ...But in this case, we probably wouldn’t have gotten recognized even without dressing up...
Ayato: Well, you do have a point...
ー Somebody walks up to them
???: ...I have finally found you two. No more of this useless game of tag.
Ayato: ...! You’re...!
Yui: ( The Gatekeeper... )
Ayato: ...Chichinashi! Grab hold of me! We’re takin’ off!
Yui: ...Ayato-kun, let’s not...
Ayato: Ah? The fuck you sayin’!?
Yui: Even if we do that, it’ll just bring us back to square one...
Let’s go with this person and explain the situation to them?
Ayato: Haah!? What are you sayin’!? Why should we let ourselves get arrested when we’ve done nothin’ wrong!?
Yui: ...Exactly. We have to start by explaining why we came here and clear our names.
Ayato: ...Why should we...!?
Gatekeeper: Hmph. For being a tainted woman, you seem rather reasonable.
Ayato: Tsk...Try sayin’ that one more time, you punk! I’ll send you flyin’!
*Rustle*
Yui: Ayato-kun! It’s fine! Just calm down, okay?
*Rustle rustle*
Ayato: How can I stay calm!? That bastard talked shit ‘bout you bein’ tainted again...!
Yui: Please! Listen to me right now...!!
Ayato: ...Fuck!
Yui: ( Ayato-kun...I’m sorry... )
Gatekeeper: So? Have you made your decision? Well, you only ever had one choice from the very beginning.
Yui: ...We will come with you.
Gatekeeper: ...Very well. Come with me then. I have a carriage waiting for us on the main street.
Yui: ...Yes.
*Rustle rustle*
Yui: ...Let’s go, Ayato-kun.
Ayato: ...
ー They get in the carriage
Monologue
And so,
we were taken suspect,
by the Gatekeeper.
The place we were taken to by the carriage,
was Bernstein castle.
The home of Count Walter,
and the exact same location we were headed ourselves...
It turned out that the Gatekeeper,
had been looking for us,
upon Count Walter’s direct order.
ー The scene shifts to the throne room in Bernstein castle
Ayato: Che. Tell us that right from the beginning next time!
That Gate-something is actually one of Walter’s underlings!
???: ...Well, well, my sincere apologies.
Ayato: ...! Walter!
Yui: ( ...! This man is Count Walter...! )
Count Walter: So you are Ayato, son of the world-famous Karlheinz?
Ayato: Hmph! You bet! Altho I don’t give a damn ‘bout the Old Man.
Count Walter: Please, don’t say that. And you must be...
...I see...You are, huh? ...Fufu...
Ayato: Aah? The fuck’s your problem...? Stop ogling her!
Count Walter: Fufu, don’t get so upset. Well then, let us use this opportunity to have a nice, leisurely chat. Take a seat.
Ayato: Oi...I didn’t come here for no chit-chat.
Give her heart back. Right now!
Yui: ...Ayato-kun...!
Ayato: I mean, I’m not wrong, am I!? All of this happened ‘cause this freak stole your heart...!
Count Walter: ...I see. Ayato, it appears to me that you have quite the temper.
I have actually been testing you two.
Yui: Us...?
Count Walter: Yes. Ever since I sent that card your way, I have been keeping a close eye on you from here the whole time.
To see if you, and your partner Ayato...
...are suitable candidates to possess a precious treasure of which only one exists in this world.
Ayato: A precious...treasure...?
Yui: Could that be...?
( Is he talking about my stolen heart...? )
Count Walter: Hence why I chose not to reveal my ties with the Gatekeeper in an attempt to observe how you would deal with him.
However, unfortunately, it seems like you two are simply not suited for this treasure.
Yui: ...No way!
Ayato: What do you mean!?
Count Walter: I am sure you will agree with me if you take a second to think back to everything you have done these past couple of hours?
Ayato: Fuck off! Why do we have to get told all this shit by a frickin’ thief, huh!?
Stop spoutin’ this nonsense and hand back her heart!
*THUD*
Count Walter: ...That just cost you another five points.
Ayato: Haah? The fuck are these points...!?
Count Walter: While we may know each other’s names, this is our first time meeting in person. On top of that, I am your senior by many years...
Yet you choose to behave in such an outrageous way, which can only result in a bad score, no?
I cannot see someone like that as a fit candidate for this treasure...
Ayato: Aah!? You’re in no position to tell me that!
Yui: ...! Ayato-kun!!
Count Walter: Haah...There goes another five points. This is just sad.
As I thought, I don’t think I will be returning this treasure any time soon. Give up and go home. Gatekeeper! Show our guests the way o..
Yui: P-Please wait! J-Just one more...! Can’t you give us one more chance?
Count Walter: ...Hooh.
Yui: I’m begging you! Without that heart, I will...
Please...! Just one more chance...!
Count Walter: Hm...I see...
It seems that unlike with Ayato’s case, you seem worthy of retaking the trial.
Ayato: Aah!? Excuse me!?
Count Walter: ...Well then, Yui-san. Out of respect for you, I shall give you one more chance.
Yui: ...Really!?
Count Walter: Yes. Well then...You two will go and set straight all crimes you have committed here in the Demon World.
Yui: Set straight...our crimes...?
Count Walter: ...Exactly. In the meantime, I shall watch your every move from here.
If you can satisfy me with your approach, I do not mind returning your heart to you then.
Yui: ...Really!? Thank you so much!
Count Walter: Fufu. Being capable of giving a genuine response to someone’s act of goodwill is an admirable feat. I shall award you one point for that.
Ayato: Aah!? Look at you favorin’ Chichinashi this whole time! I’m not diggin’ this!
Count Walter: Oi, Ayato. If you do not watch your words, you will lose points again? Why not take a lesson or two from her?
Ayato: ...!
Count Walter: Well then, get going you two!
Yui: ...B-But...What should we do exactly?
Count Walter: Fufu. You will have to figure that one out yourself.
All I can say is that you should think long and hard about everything you have done so far and fix things appropriately...That’s it.
Well then, I have high hopes for you.
Yui: ...Yes. Please excuse us now. ...Ayato-kun, let’s go.
Ayato: Ah, oi! Chichinashi! Wait!!
*TIMESKIP*
Monologue
We returned to the city,
in a carriage which had been prepared for us.
The Count had been so kind,
to take down the wanted posters,
which meant we no longer had to hide ourselves,
while going from one place to another.
However, the real challenge starts now.
Let us take a deep breath and think first.
About the true meaning,
behind the task which has been given to us by the Count...
I have to somehow retrieve,
my stolen heart after allーー
While trying my best to explain the situation,
to Ayato-kun who seemed as grumpy as ever,
we settled in a waterside hotel.
ー The scene shifts to the hotel room
Yui: Ayato-kun?
( ...He’s not here...? )
( Could he be out on the balcony? ...He must still be upset, huh...? )
ー She steps out on the balcony
Ayato: ...
Yui: ...Ayato-kun. You must be thirsty, no? I’ve got some juice. I’ll leave it here, okay?
*Thud*
Yui: ...Um...I’m sorry...I was quite selfish back then...
Ayato: Che, my thoughts exactly! What was your problem? You just bent to that Count’s will like it was nothing...
He’s the one who stole your heart in the first place, remember!?
So why are we the ones who have to get tested!? It makes zero sense!
Yui: ...Yeah...
( I can’t blame him for getting upset...Still... )
Say, Ayato-kun? Listen?
Ayato: Aah? 
Yui: I don’t think you’re wrong...
When we came here and the Gatekeeper talked badly about me...
You got mad at him...Remember? That made me really happy, you see. 
Ayato: ...!
Yui: I was convinced you’d protect me no matter what. I told myself to have some faith in you.
Even when we were being chased around by a bunch of strangers, I knew things would be okay because you were there with me.
I want to stay with you from here on out too.
...That’s why I just have to get my heart back.
So we can be together in the future as well...
Ayato: Chichinashi...
Yui: I truly do feel bad for involving you in this as well.
If you don’t want to, I’ll handle it by myself.
I promise I’ll return with my heart, so you can...
ー He suddenly embraces her
*Rustle*
Ayato: You really think I’d do that!? Don’t give me that crap!
...You are mine. How many times do I have to repeat myself?
Ayato-sama will definitely retrieve your heart!
I mean, doesn’t it only make sense? If you are mine, then so is your heart.
I’m not gonna let that bastard do with it as he pleases...!
*Rustle*
Yui: Kyah...Nn...!
Ayato: Nn...
Oi, Chichinashi. Don’t ever say you’ll go by yourself again. ...Understood?
Yui: ( Ayato-kun... )
...Yeah. Gotcha. I won’t.
Ayato: Mmh...Well then...Let’s call it a day.
Starting tomorrow, we’ve gotta get started on that fucked up task given to us by the Count after all.
Yui: Yeah, good idea. ...Ah, Ayato-kun!
Ayato: Pwaah...Hm, what?
Yui: Listen...Okay? ...Thank you for everything...
Ayato: ...Hmph. What are you sayin’ out of nowhere...?
...Oi. I was gonna sleep but I changed my mind. Come here.
*Rustle*
Yui: ( Eh!? W-Wait...Ayato-kun!? Kyaah! )
*Thud*
Tumblr media
Ayato: ...Oi, Chichinashi. If you want to thank me that badly, you better tend to me tonight.
Yui: Eh? W-What do you mean...?
Ayato: ...Let me suck your blood. I was just feelin’ kinda thirsty.
Don’t even try sellin’ me that juice of yours. It has to be your blood. Hehe.
*Rustle rustle*
Tumblr media
Ayato: Nn...Haah...Nn...
Haah...It really does taste a lil’ different from usual but oh well...
...It’s still your blood in the end.
In other words, every single drop of this blood belongs to me as well. Nn...
Yui: ...Ayato...kun...
Ayato: ...Oi, gimme more. Nn...Nn...
Yui: ( Even if his words are harsh at times, he always embraces me so gently... )
( I’m sure everything will be okay with Ayato-kun by my side... )

Translation notes
(1) 七三 or ‘seven-three’ refers to a type of hair style in which the hair is parted unevenly with 30% being on one side and the other 70% on the other, hence the name ‘seven-three’. Reiji has this hairstyle, so Ayato always refers to him as 七三メガネ or ‘shichi-san megane’ 
(2) Literally he says ‘Don’t blame me if your face never goes back to normal’

Diabolik Lovers GRAND EDITION for Switch ;; More, Blood ー Yuma Dark [Prologue]
Tumblr media
Monologue
ーー That burning feeling inside my throat,
is the sole thing which vividly remains in my memory.
Crackling flames flare up. 
People scatter about, tears streaming down their faces
as they call out someone’s name.
And I, ran straight towards
said fire.
It’s hot. So incredibly, unbearably hot.
Yet, I desperately dashed forward.
Swallowed by the flames and smoke, 
I could barely still see my own feet with my dried out eyes.
I could barely even breathe,
as the heat assaulted my throat.
Even so, I attempt to shout.
ーー Wanting to find someone.
ーー Wanting to save someone.
???: ( ...Who? )
( Who am I looking for amidst the flames? )
???: ーー ...ar!
???: ( I don’t know. I can’t remember. )
( Who was I searching for? Where was I? For whoーー? )
???: Bear!
ー A young Yuma wakes up and finds himself in town
Lucks: You’re awake?
Bear: ...Boss...
Lucks: Are you okay? You were groaning in your sleep again. (1)
Bear: Yeah...
*Rustle*
Bear: ...What’s with that face, huh? Whatcha grinnin’ for?
Lucks: It’s because you always look like you’re about to cry when you sleep. What’s wrong? Did you dream about your mommy again?
Bear: ...As if! Don’t treat me like a kid!
Lucks: Haha! My bad, my bad! Come on, eat this. It’s today’s grub.
ー He throws some food at him
Bear: ...Where did you pick up fresh bread?
Lucks: I didn’t pick it up, I secretly took it. Of course...Making sure nobody saw me?
You should hurry up and learn how to steal food (2) without getting chased after as well. I’m sure you’re fed up with getting beat up after being caught?
Bear: ...
Lucks: Well, it’s a common beginner’s mistake. Come on, just take a bite already. I’m sure you’re starving after tossing and turning around in your sleep?
Bear: ...Thanks for the food.
Lucks: Now I think about it, quite some time has passed since you hit me up, huh? You still can’t remember anything?
Bear: ...Nothing.
Lucks: I see. Well, if only it was that easy, huh? Have your burns healed yet?
Bear: They’ve gotten way better thanks to the medicine you gave me.
Lucks: I see. Isn’t it rough to be missing your memories?
Bear: ...Well...It is, but...
But, I don’t want to force myself to remember either. I feel...comfortable staying here with you after all.
Lucks: You get to eat without getting beaten up as well, huh?
Bear: ...That’s not what I meant!
Lucks: Haha, I’m joking. Well, if that’s what you want, you can stay here as long as you’d like. The gang likes you as well.
It’s just...Things may not stay this peaceful for long.
Bear: Did something happen?
Lucks: There’s been suspicious movements amongst one of the gangs at the neighboring city. The one lead by that nasty guy sporting a mohawk (3).
Bear: Aah, that idiot whose hair looks like a chicken’s?
Lucks: Yeah...He has already done a number on three of our gang members. If they won’t back down, we won’t be able to avoid a conflict forever.
Bear: Hmph! I’ll take them on at any time! They may think they’re strong together, but they’re no match for us!
Lucks: Haha. When it comes to your built and vigor, you really are formidable. You’re totally one of us now.
...Honestly, I know that continuing doing this won’t solve anything.
Bear: Boss?
Lucks: Say, Bear? Do you like this city?
Bear: ...What do you mean?
Lucks: Exactly as I said it. Take look at those worn down streets and houses. ...This city has started to rot.
All of the aristocrats and politicians keep on running their mouths about revolution or reforms and how it’s all in the best interest of the people but...This is the reality we have to face.
In the end, it’s only the rich people who get to benefit of it. (4) On the other hand, the number of children like us who end up on the streets is only rising. 
But no matter how ashy and grey the city gets, only the sky is still...
Look, it’s this blue...Underneath the blue sky who doesn’t belong to anyone, status or family does not matter.
I believe that all humans are equal and deserve to be free.
...However, I am also aware that such utopian dreams will never come true in this rotten city.
Bear: ...
Lucks: That’s why I’ve decided I will guide this country towards the right path.
To achieve this, I have to fight my way to the top. Of course, using a method other than violence.
Bear: ...Seems like you have a long way ahead of you.
Lucks: It’s frustrating but I’m still a child right now. I’m not stupid enough to think I can win against adults who have political power. I know that this will be a long fight.
But you know, I also want to know just how far a single orphan raised in the filthy slums can go.
Now that I’ve told you all of this, you’ll have to watch me till the very end, Bear. From your VIP seat right next to me.
Bear: Hah, I just hope you don’t drag me into the grave with you.
Lucks: Just give up if that happens. You were out of luck, getting picked up by me.
Bear: ...Guess so. I do feel like I owe you one. 
A huge debt, for giving me a place I can call my own...That is.
Fine then, I’ll stick with you. Until the day...This world changes.
ー The screen fades to black
Yuma: ( Exactly, that was our dream. )
( For us brats who had no money, let alone power, changing the country, or even the world, that was the real Utopia. )
( ...However, it’s strange. )
( Boss, I’m sure you can do it. That’s what I ended up thinking. )
Monologue
A city thorn apart by the destruction of war.
in the very corner of the slums laying in the very back of said city,
that is where I lived at that time.
About my life before that,
I could not remember a single thing.
At some point, I found myself laying on the ground,
of this filthy back-alley. Why was I here? 
Where did I come from?
I did not even know who I was. 
That’s the kind of situation I found myself in.
ーー Yo, what’s up?
A young boy called out for my puzzled self,
greeting with a tone,
as if we had been long-time pals.
That was Lucks.
ーー Got nowhere to go? 
Come with me then.
The moment he spoke those words without asking about what happened,
without a single hint of hesitation. 
I was at a loss for words, 
deeply moved by this boy.
I felt indebted, as well as respect for him,
even a little envy...
But the most accurate way to describe it, would probably be admiration.
And that is how,
I decided to live alongside this person,
who was the leader of a gang.
Based on my physical appearance,
I was given the nickname ‘Bear’.
ー The flashback ends as the scene shifts to the hallway
Yui: Haah...
( It may have been decided by drawing a card, but how could I have picked such a scary-looking person... )
( He punched me when I was brought here, and he goes around calling people ‘Sow’... )
( I wonder if I’ll be okay, having someone like that watch over me...? )
Yuma: Hold it, Sow! (5)
Yui: ...!
Yuma: Don’t just be wanderin’ ‘round like ya own this place! If ya wanna have a look ‘round, at least ask me for permission first!
Yui: ( Speak of the devil...! )
Yuma: Che. Ya really not tryin’ to hide that you’re displeased, huh? ...I’m not exactly thrilled to have to babysit ya either, ya know!?
But well, guess I have no other choice. 
Oi, I’ll only tell ya this once so listen up. These are the rules attached to becomin’ my personal toy.
Yui: Toy!?
Yuma: I’m not wrong, right? My own toy which I can use as I please, whenever I want to. That’s what ya are, right?
Yui: I-It’s my first time hearing about that...!
Yuma: Do I really need to go out of my way to tell ya? That’s what Sows (6) are for, right?
Yui: ( ‘Toy’ and ‘Sow’...That’s just too cruel... )
Yuma: What? Got a problem with it, huh?
Yui: R-Rather than a problem...
Yuma: Aahn!?
Yui: ...!
( Uu...Yuma-kun really is scary with that tall physique and loud voice of his...! )
Yuma: ...
*THUD*
Yui: !!
Yuma: Can’t hear ya very well!? This toy came with a mouth, didn’t it!? Speak up a lil’ more, aahn!?
Yui: ( He’s even more scary when he towers over me like that...! )
I-It’s...nothing...
Yuma: Che, you’re so annoyin’. If ya can’t say, don’t try and mutter a halfbaked response.
This is exactly why I hate chicks who just stand there pissin’ their pants the whole time.
You’re on the same level as a farm’s pig if ya can’t even voice yer own opinion out loud.
Listen up, Sow. Watchin’ those kind of people makes me gag.
Yui: ( He doesn’t have to put it so bluntly... )
( ...However, it’s true that I’m frightened and that I can’t talk back... )
Yuma: Haah...What a fuckin’ pain in the ass.
If it turns out ya don’t taste better than Sugar-chan, I really got the short end of the stick.
Yui: ( Sugar-chan...? Could he be talking about sugar cubes? Also, he’s eating them plain... )
( I wonder if he likes sweet stuff...? )
Yuma: Well, I’ve got no other choice now that I’m chosen. There...!
Yui: Ow...!?
( He strongly wrapped his hand around my throat...!? )
Yuma: Woah there, don’t make a fuss. I’m actually holdin’ back so I don’t snap it in two.
If ya struggle too much, I might end up puttin’ in some strength.
I might just break yer neck even if I didn’t mean to?
Yui: ( I don’t want that...! )
( But it hurts and it’s hard to breathe, so I can’t just keep still...! )
*Thud*
Yuma: Did I not just tell ya to keep still!? ...Che, ya really are a pain. Come on!
*Rustle*
Yui: ( ...He loosened up a little. It’s somewhat less painful like thiーー )
Yuma: Dont get the wrong idea.
You’re a damn infuriatin’ woman. But it seems like ya are the chosen Eve after all. I’ll handle ya with care for now.
Well, either way...Ya chose me. Even if it’s a drag, I can’t alter said truth.
Yui: ( I didn’t choose him myself though... )
Yuma: That being said, ya better try yer best to become a toy to my liking, capiche? 
Yui: Why...me...?
Yuma: Hah. Haven’t those Sakamaki’s already treated ya badly plenty of times anyway?
Yui: That’s...
Yuma: What? Tryin’ to play hard to get now? Don’t cause me any more trouble!
*THUD*
Yuma: Come on. If ya understand, do as I say. If so, I’ll treat ya decently. Hehe.
Yui: ( ...! )
Yuma: Looks like ya don’t like the ring of that? Heh. Perfect. 
Ya should have just been honest back then. Don’t be havin’ regrets now...!
ー Yuma bites her
Yui: !!
( Ow...! He suddenly...! )
Yuma: Nn...Nn?
Yui: ( Uu... )
Yuma: ...Haah...Heeh...Guess this is to be expected of Eve? Ya taste quite nice.
Nn...Hah...Amazin’...The blood’s so sweet...Just like sugar...No, even sweeter?
I wasn’t lookin’ forward to havin’ to watch over some chick’s sad ass but...Hehe, in this case, it might actually be kinda fun.
Yui: Please, stop...
Yuma: Hah, already havin’ regrets? Didn’t I tell ya...!?
Yui: Uu, ah...!
Yuma: ...Hah...
Yui: ( He keeps on thrusting them in and pulling back out...I’m becoming numb from the pain... )
Yuma: Hehe...I think it’s annoyin’ when a woman goes quiet after I yell at her, but I don’t dislike chicks who keep silent durin’ this kinda thing?
I wouldn’t mind if ya expressed yer desires, or let me hear some nice cries...tho!
ー He pushes Yui away
*Rustle*
Yui: Kyah...!
*Thud*
Yuma: I’ve had enough. I’m sleepy too so I’m done for today.
Well, guess now ya just have to try yer hardest to be in my good grace, huh?
Yui: ...
Yuma: Hehe...See ya, Sow.
ー Yuma leaves
Yui: ( ...No matter where I go, I always get treated like this. )
( Although I still can’t believe...I actually want to have my blood sucked myself. )
( If I could, I’d honestly love to go to a world without any Vampires... )
ーー TO BE CONTINUED ーー
Translation notes
(1) The verb うなされる or ‘unasareru’ refers to both ‘having a nightmare/bad dream’ as well as the noises and movements accompanying it.
(2) He uses the term ‘to supply’ or ‘to raise’ here, but it is obvious from the context that they are stealing food. 
(3) They describe his hairstyle as トサカ頭 or ‘tosaka atama’ with ‘tosaka’ referring to a cockscomb.
(4) Literally he says they are the ones who ‘get to suckle the sweet nectar’. 
(5) そこの or ‘soko no’ is a set phrase shouted when you want to stop somenoe in their tracks. You will often hear it being used by the police and such when they spot someone suspicious. Usually it is combined with 君 or ‘kimi’, in which case you can translate it as ‘You over there!’. In this case, I had to alter it a little because he uses Yui’s nickname ‘Sow’. 
(6) The word メスブタ or ‘mesubuta’ technically means ‘Sow’. However, it is also a common slang word to call somewhere a ‘whore’ or ‘slut’.
