Note
Conrad deserves better than Belly. After he sees Jere and her kiss, he get his ass to Stanford and meet this cute and smart maybe tutor girl (Haley James style) and falls in love with her and then they show up at Jere's wedding years later and Belly is jelly
I've spent the last five days working on this one.

When Conrad finished his exam, he went back to Jeremiah and Belly. He was going to tell and confess his love to her before she had to get home, but when he got to his car, the scene Conrad walked on made him sick to his stomach: Belly and Jeremiah were full on making out against his car. He stopped short of the car and cleared his throat, causing the two to spring apart from their heated kiss and see Conrad looking right at them. 
Conrad’s face was white. He would rather have had someone shoot him in the head with a nail gun, repeatedly, than have to watch the two of them kissing.
He didn't know who he was more angry at. Belly, who, not even a day ago, had told him she would have fought harder for him if she knew he loved her that much. Or Jeremiah, who, although he knew how much Belly meant to his brother and how fucking in love he was with her, seized the opportunity to kiss Belly the moment he was alone with her.
‘’Conrad—’’ Belly started, guilt settling in her guts. 
He cut her off, his voice cold and cutting. ‘’I don’t want to hear it.’’ 
His gaze shifted from Belly to Jeremiah. There was so much hate in his eyes. How could Jere do that to him? They agreed to stop hiding things from each other and talk, but Jeremiah must have forgotten already. 
‘’You broke up with her, Con, remember? We did nothing wrong,’’ Jeremiah said, pulling facts in his favor to make himself feel better — less guilty — for kissing his brother’s ex.  
When Conrad kissed Belly on the beach last summer, he didn’t know she and Jeremiah were a thing — if he could call it that — or that he liked her. If he had, he wouldn’t have kissed Belly or confessed his feelings to her. Had the situation had been in reverse, Conrad wasn’t sure Jeremiah would have backed off. 
‘’I’m done.’’ Conrad's voice was resolute, his heart heavy as he turned away, unable to bear the sight of them any longer.
Jeremiah moved to follow, calling out Conrad's name. He didn’t stop, needing to be as far as possible from the painful scene. His mind was racing with a jumble of emotions. Anger, betrayal, and a profound hurt gnawed at him. He had trusted both Belly and Jeremiah, yet they pulled this shit behind his back. 
‘’Why do you always have to act like that?’’ Jeremiah said as he quickened his pace to catch up. 
Finally, Conrad turned to face Jeremiah, his expression a mix of sorrow and resentment. ‘’You don’t get to tell me how to react, Jere. You kiss the girl I love outside my school, against my car while she’s wearing my sweatshirt. If you don’t see how disgusting and messed up it all sounds—’’
‘’She kissed me,’’ the younger one quickly defended. 
 Hearing this made him want to pack his bags, get his ass to stanford and focus on school. He needed to turn the Belly page, and in order to do that, he needed to be away from both she and Jeremiah. California seemed far enough, right?
*
The first days and weeks were tough for Conrad, struggling to accept the definite end of the relationship. She was still all over him like a wine-stained shirt he couldn’t wear anymore. 
He blocked both Belly and Jeremiah’ numbers. If he wanted to move on, he had to keep his distance from them. For a while, at least. Then, he deleted all the old pictures he kept of Belly on his phone. There was no going back for them anymore. 
He was done.
*
You met Conrad a little before Christmas break. Just like those cliché rom-coms, you walked right into him and spilled your chai latte all over his sweater. You wanted to break the cliché and not fall for the victim of your clumsiness, but after one look into those beautiful blue eyes, you knew it would be impossible. 
 After that day, you kept crossing paths around campus and, one afternoon, you asked him out. He was so surprised, but he said ‘yes’. 
Although you had sealed the end of the night with a few kisses, you decided to take things slow. You had a very busy schedule with the tutoring lessons on top of your regular program, and Conrad was unsure if it was too soon to get in another relationship, if he was ready for it. The scar Belly had left on his heart was healing, but was he ready to open his heart to someone again? 
‘’Have you ever been in love?’’ you asked one night in his dorm while studying. 
Your question had caught Conrad off guard. It was visible on his face. 
‘’Have you?’’ he returned, not taking his eyes off his textbook. 
He was trying to dodge the question. 
‘’I asked you first,’’ you said, seeing through his plan.
‘’Then yes.’’
‘’How many times?’’
‘’Once.’’
His answers were flat, annoyed he was by all your questions. He wished you would stop and get back to studying in silence, but you kept going. 
‘’On a scale of one to ten, how in love were you?’’
‘’You can’t put being in love on a scale,’’ he said, lifting his head with furrowed eyebrows. ‘’Either you are or you aren’t.’’
‘’But if you had to say.’’
Conrad started flipping through his notes. He hadn’t thought of Belly in months. He missed her — in a different way he used to. She was his friend before they got tangled into this mess.
He didn’t look at you when he finally said it. ‘’Ten.’’
*
The more time he spent in your presence, the more Conrad was — unknowingly — letting go of his past. 
The pictures he deleted months ago became pictures of you, filling his phone until there was no space left. The smell of your perfume lingered on some of his clothes and in his car. He had your coffee order memorized, along with your favorite study-break snack, which he made sure to have in stock in his dorm. 
You became part of his routine — part of his life —, brightening his days even on his darkest, saddest nights. 
He didn’t want to bother you, but nothing was calming the ache in his chest. He tried getting some air and smoking weed, he even thought of calling Laurel, but it was almost 2am in Pennsylvania. Conrad didn’t want to scare her. 
So he pulled up your contact and called, the weight of his grief still heavy in his heart, wishing Susannah was still there. He couldn't believe a full year had gone by since she took her last breath. 
You were about to slip into bed when you saw his name flashing on your phone. You almost didn’t pick up, but you got a gut feeling that he needed you. 
When you opened your door, a saddened look was etched onto Conrad's face, his beautiful eyes glistening with unshed tears. The sight pulled at your heart and you wrapped your arms around him, holding him for the whole night.
Supported each other through finals and all-nighters.
‘’Getting tired?’’ you said, catching him actively fighting against his own eyelids. 
Conrad shook his head, taking a long gulp of his coffee. ‘’No time for sleep. I have this huge exam first thing tomorrow and I still have a lot of chapters to cover.’’
‘’You can take a short nap if you want. I’ll wake you in thirty minutes,’’ you kindly offered, flipping through your notes for a specific annotation. 
‘’Nah, I’m good.’’ He flashed you a soft smile, then returned to his studying. 
A few minutes later, and you couldn't help but notice that Conrad's eyes had begun to droop. They would halfway close and then he would either blink a bunch of times, or widen his eyes until they were bug eyed. It was cute.
‘’Con? Conrad?’’ you called out gently. 
‘’I'm not sleeping. I'm resting my eyes,’’ he mumbled defensively, fighting fatigue.
There was no way he was getting through the night, so you put your notes down and slipped on Conrad’s flannel shirt that was on the back of your chair to shield you from the night air. ‘’We’re gonna need more coffee.’’ 
As you came back with two fresh cups of coffee, you found Conrad fast asleep on your pillow, still clutching his pen.
And held his hand through the rainiest times — literally.
‘’Isn't California supposed to be the sunniest state?’’ Conrad asked, watching the downpour through the windshield, drenched from head to toe. ‘’The seats are all wet...’’ 
‘’You gotta learn to live with the consequences of your own actions, Connie baby.’’ 
It was his idea to get waffles when the sky was looking very gray and angry. He insisted that it would clear out, but a loud clap of thunder echoed on your way back to the car and rain started pouring. You took the road back to campus, but it got too dangerous, forcing Conrad to stop the car on the shoulder of the road and wait for the rain to calm. 
You wiped your face with the sleeve of your hoodie and a smile curled on Conrad’s lips, still the most beautiful to his eyes despite your wet hair and the slight smear of mascara under your eyes. 
 ‘’Rain happens everywhere. Even in the dryest desert,’’ you reminded him, pulling out your phone to check the weather app.‘’Unfortunately, this one isn't gonna stop anytime soon.’’
You toed off your sneakers, making Conrad draw his eyebrows.
‘’What are you doing?’’
‘’We’re gonna be here for a while.’’ You peeled off your hoodie — also wet from the rain —, leaving you in your skirt and dainty bralette. ‘’Might as well occupy ourselves,’’ you explained before leaning over the middle console and kissing him, fastening yourself to him with a stitch. 
The kiss took him by surprise, but he wasn’t complaining. He could spend hours kissing you and never get bored. 
You crawled over the console and on Conrad’s lap without breaking contact, your hands easily finding grip on his hair as you felt his hands all over your body, caressing and pulling. The windows were fogging quickly around you, creating a veil of privacy as more layers were peeled off.
Conrad once believed he had found love, that Belly was it for him, but the feelings he felt back then were nothing compared to how he felt right now. 
‘’You’re the best thing that happened to me,’’ he confessed, his forehead pressed against yours. 
*
The invitation came in a few weeks before the wedding. Conrad couldn’t believe his brother was going through with this. Everything was happening so fast and seemed rushed. Him and Belly weren’t even twenty. Who gets married so young anymore? 
He arrived in Cousins a few days prior to the wedding, surprising everyone — and stealing the attention from the soon-to-be-weds — when they saw a girl with him. 
The only person who knew exactly who you were was Steven. A few months ago, you had posted a picture with Conrad at the beach and tagged him, leading to Steven finding out about his friend’s new girlfriend. He was surprised when he saw it, but very happy for Conrad. He deserved better than someone who plays between two hearts. 
Laurel put down the table-center she was holding and went over to pull Conrad in a hug. She turned to you, making quick introductions, and Conrad held his breath. He’s always been close to Laurel and her approval meant more to him than his father’s or Jeremiah’s. 
While the two of you engaged into a conversation, he saw her. Belly. Dressed in a white sundress and talking to Taylor, she looked just the same. The only difference was, Conrad felt nothing. No pain, no old feelings rising back. 
For the first time, what’s past was past.
‘’Belly, come greet Connie and his girlfriend,’’ Laurel called out to her daughter. 
Although you had never met her, you could tell exactly who she was in the room — and not only because her dress was white. The jealousy filling her eyes when they fell on you gave her away.

has miscommunication for the bingo been taken? if not, can i request that one with bucky?
Hiii thank you so much for your ask! ❤️‍🔥 Here's what I came up with!
Tumblr media

Miscommunication 
BrothersBestFriend!Bucky x Reader
Cold. That was the perfect word to describe Bucky. Distant came in second place, followed by calloused, mysterious, brooding and lastly, your brother’s best friend. Although you were only two years younger than your brother, Bucky always saw you as the pestering little sister. Even now when you were out of college and living in the same city as your brother and his group of friends. 
You had fixed your hair and worn a tight dress your brother would certainly not approve of but if it were up to him, you would wear a full body sack of potatoes to the club. You walked down the hallway of the apartment you shared with your brother but stopped before you got to the living room, you heard voices. You placed your back flush against the wall.
“Can you quit being an asshole? Try, for one day.” You heard Sam whisper.
“Why does she have to follow us everywhere we go?” Bucky groaned. “If I wanted that, I would have bought a dog.”
Steve shushed the brunet. “She’s one of our best friend’s sister, you can’t say that!”
“I’m just saying what we’re all thinking.” Bucky’s words hurt, a feeling of embarrassment burned your being. You felt the edges of your eyes prickle.
“We think she’s nice.” Sam said. “She’s funny and tells us childhood secrets about our friend, like that time she told us he got caught sneaking out of a girls window and broke his arm during the fall! What more can you ask for?”
“Well I think she’s immature.” Bucky drove the knife deeper.
You brought your hand up to your mouth to muffle your gasp, the tears falling from your face. Your brothers door opened so you quickly wiped your face and gulped down your feelings. 
“Not to sound like mom but, we know you’re a girl, you don’t have to show everyone at the club.” He laughed, pointing at the short hem of the dress. “You ready to go?”
You offered your brother a smile. “I think I’m going to sit this one out, I just got my period.”
He made a disgusted face before peeking into the living room. “Hey guys, it’s just us this time.”
“Fuck.” Bucky whispered as he closed his eyes and leaned his head back, knowing you’d heard every wretched word you’d said. 
--
The next weeks were filled with apologies to your brother, flaking on plans and making up late nights working. 
“Have you thought about talking to HR?” Your brother’s voice said through the speaker on your phone. “I don’t think it’s normal for your boss to make you work late again. It’s the third time this week!”
You hiked your tote bag up your shoulder. Trying to balance your takeout on one hand and your phone pressed to your ear was proving to be a difficult task. You sighed of relief as you turned the corner to your street. 
“Yeah, I should but I don’t want to get on my boss’ bad side.” You expertly lied. Of course you felt guilty lying to your brother but what else could you do? They were his friends after all and Bucky made it clear you weren’t welcome. Plus, you’d been tagging along for far too long. 
“Call me if you get off early, yeah?” He said. “We’re going to go bar hopping and you deserve a drink!”
You kept your eyes on the steps of your apartment complex as you climbed them. “Yep, I’ll let you know when I leave the office.”
“You tell them they can shove their extra hours up their ass-“ You heard Sam yell over your brother.
You chuckled as you searched through your bag for your keys, two more steps and you’ll be home- your feet bumped into another, a combat boot wearing pair of feet you recognized instantly. 
“Oh shit.” You muttered, your eyes traveling from the black boots to the tight black jeans up towards a red Henley. Ocean blue eyes looked straight into your soul. Busted. 
“Are you okay? What happened?” Your brother asked.
“Everything’s fine, I’m fine just- it’s an Excel emergency. Got to go, call you later.” You hung up quickly.
“Late night at work?” Bucky raised his eyes at you. “Excel emergency?”
“Don’t even.” You sighed as you pushed past the beefy man, unlocking your apartment. 
“May I come in?” Bucky asked, hands resting on the doorframe.
You rolled your eyes, setting all of your things down. “You’ve been here a million times, you don’t need to ask to come in.”
“I’ve been here with your brother.” He emphasized the word. “Never as your guest.”
“I wouldn’t call someone who was waiting at my door a guest.” You mumbled, eyeing the man who still hadn’t entered your apartment. “What are you? A vampire? You need to be invited in?”
“Only one way to find out.” His smile was wicked as he dragged his boot across the bottom of the door. 
You considered letting him burst into flames, maybe he was a vampire. That would be one reasonable explanation as to why he’s a dick. 
“You can come in.” You said, taking your food and setting it in front of the TV. “Only if you promise to be quiet while I watch Vanderpump Rules.”
“I never thought of you as the lying type.” Bucky closed the door behind him and watched as you started eating dinner. “You were supposed to be a good girl.”
“You’re already breaking the first and only rule I gave you.” You shushed him. 
“You have no idea how badly I want to break the rules.” Bucky muttered to himself. 
You paused your show. “You’re not going to be quiet so, why are you here?”
“Why did you lie to your brother?”
You stood up from the couch. “I asked you first.”
“I’m here because-“ Bucky ran a hand through his hair, following you into the kitchen like a lost puppy. “Because you stopped going out with us.”
A true laugh ripped through your chest. Is he serious?
His expression urged you to answer, like he didn’t know the reason for your absence.
“Do you ever make up your mind?” You snorted. “First you say I’m immature and you don’t want me near you and now, now you ask me why I’m not there.”
Bucky felt heat rise up from the back of his neck to his cheeks. There was some part of him that hoped you hadn’t heard- maybe your boss did suddenly become a raging SOB. 
“I didn’t mean it like that-“ Bucky started. 
“Please, do enlighten me as to what you meant when you said, and I quote: ‘Why does she have to follow us’ and then ‘I think she’s immature’.” You let out a dry chuckle.
Bucky’s Adams apple bobbed, trying to figure out what words he should say. But his blank expression gave you everything you needed to know.
You walked to the front door of your apartment, opening it. “Look, I don’t know who forced you to come here and apologize but it’s okay. No hard feelings, Buck. Just don’t tell my brother I didn’t have to work late and we’ll call it even.”
Bucky leant his head back and groaned. “You don’t understand.”
“And I’m done trying to understand.” You added. 
“I understand that you say no hard feelings but that’s the problem-“ Bucky walked towards you. “I want to have no feelings.”
“Bucky it’s fine. I get it, you don’t like me and don’t want to be my friend. I’m over it.” You rolled your eyes again. 
Bucky’s chest heaved, his emotions taking over his brain. He took your body and slammed it against the door, shutting it closed. Bucky’s large hands cupped your face, his once clear eyes now turned dark. 
“You don’t understand.” He whispered dragging his knuckles lightly against your cheek. “I don’t want you there because I can’t control myself whenever you’re near.”
Your throat became dry. “What? I thought you didn’t like me.”
Bucky chuckled lightly, now his finger ghosted over your lips. “Quite the opposite. I like you, I want you, I needyou. But I cannot have you.”

Period
Summary: Well it‘s that time of the month again 😑 Luckily this time you‘re not alone 😁
Warnings: None
Words: 1.1k
A/N
As someone who currently is experiencing the same thing I would like to say that I also want to be babied at some point, but who is there for me? Nobody 😑
Tumblr media
(A short moment to appreciate how frigging cute that boy looks!❤️)
Since Y/N woke up today she knew something was off, everything in her body ached and her head hurt like crazy. She had no clue what was going on, but whatever it was it should better stop sooner than later because she some things to do, her boyfriend Pablo for example.
Y/N and Pablo have been boyfriend and girlfriend for about a month now, everything was going great, the chemistry between them was awesome, and they were still really deep in their honeymoon phase.
Still, they need to get used to each other, not wanting to scare the other one off they try to do everything that involves the other as perfectly as possible.
Now Y/N was about to get out of bed when she felt a stabbing pain in her lower abdomen, rushing to the bathroom her fear was confirmed, she got her period.
"Oh come on ... you're a week too soon" complained Y/N cleaning herself up and reaching for a tampon.
Coming out of the bathroom she felt horrible, her abdomen was punishing her with the worst cramps she felt in a while and her head was killing her. Going into the kitchen she starts to boil water for her heating pad as she turns around to open the fridge she sees the red circle on her calendar.
Today her and Pablo were supposed to go to this new nightclub that opened last week, he wanted her to meet a few of his friends today, but knowing her body she was going to feel horrible for the rest of the day.
Feeling really guilty she thought about what she should do, calling Pablo and telling him how horrible she felt and him probably being very disappointed, or her still going but most likely not enjoying the evening and making a bad impression on his friends, which then again leads to Pablo being disappointed in her.
Sighing she presses Pablo's contact calling him.
"Hola amor what's up" Pablo answers after two rings.
"Hola bebé I think I need to cancel today, I'm feeling really sick today and I don't want to ruin everyone's evening," she says while sitting down on the couch rubbing her abdomen.
"Oh no ... you want me to come over? I could look after you", Pablo asks with genuine concern.
Wanting nothing more than be cuddled up in Pablo's arms while he looks after her she still declines, "No baby you don't have to it's not that bad" She winces at the end of her sentence as a really bad cramp surges through her.
"Are you sure, you do not sound good ... are you in pain?" not convinced by her statement he asks her.
"No! ... well yes, kind of. It's just ... I'm on my period and everything kind of hurts" Convinced he is going to be disgusted she mumbles the last part.
"Oh poor thing, I'm definitely coming over ... I've seen how much my sister suffers from that. I'm not leaving you alone in your misery ." He exclaims with an affectionate tone.
Touched by his statement she cuddles herself deeper into the couch hearing him say he is going to be there in thirty minutes, as he has to do a few things before he can come.
Unbeknownst to Y/N Pablo called his sister asking her what he should do now because, to be honest, he had no clue where he should even start.
Being utterly confused why her brother was calling her out of nowhere asking what girls like on her period she tells him a few basic things everybody enjoys, chocolate, heated blankets, ...
After getting a few ideas from his sister he drove to the nearest store and bought a few snacks for her and a pair of fluffy socks he knows she loves so much.
He bought everything he thought she might need, and nearly emptied the whole sweets section. He drove to her house gently knocking on the front door.
"It's open!", he hears Y/N yell, and as he opens the door he sees a pale-looking Y/N cuddled under her favourite blanket all in all looking pretty sick. The sight breaks his heart, placing the bags from his shopping trip beside the couch. He kneels before her kissing her head.
"Oh amor ... you really don't feel good, do you?" stroking her head he sees her shaking her head groaning as another cramp hits.
Lifting the shopping bags he exclaims softly, "I brought you some snacks, I didn't know what to get you so I just grabbed a few of my favorite comfort snacks"
Smiling softly Y/N looks into the bag seeing lots of different types of food from sweet to sour everything was there.
"Thank you that's perfect" being really touched by his actions tears start to form in her eyes.
„Hey Bebé ... it's ok no need to cry" wiping the tears away with his thumb Pablo kisses her nose earning himself a teary giggle.
„I'm sorry it's just that ... you're like the sweetest person I've ever met. Nobody ever brought me snacks while I'm on my period or cared for me like that"
„Well then it's time we change that ... scooch over I want some cuddles."
Scooching over Pablo climbs behind her so he's sitting up and she has her back to his chest, hearing her groan in pain again he asks;" Is there anything I can do to help you with the pain?"
Thinking for a short while Y/N answers, " Yes there actually is." Taking his hands she brings them to her abdomen, "Just hold your hands there please, your warmth will ease the cramps."
Nodding Pablo holds her abdomen with his hands starting to massage it after some time, hearing Y/N sigh he smiles to himself looking down and seeing her cuddle herself deeper into him.
"You comfy?" he asks her with a smile. Looking up at him with an adorable little smile she nods wrapping her arms around his.
"Don't you have to go soon, otherwise you'll be late to meet up with your friends." looking up at him Y/N  asks Pablo.
"I said they can go without me, I'd rather be with my girl anyways." kissing her head he answers.
"Really? ... Awww you're so sweet when you want to" she exclaims, gasping Pablo looks at her. "What's that supposed to mean!?"
Giggling Y/n gives Pablo a kiss before cuddling herself into him again, falling asleep not much later, in the safety of her boyfriends' arms who she grows to love more and more every day.

THE LOVE LETTER | sherlock holmes
Title: The Love Letter | sherlock holmes
Pairings: Henry Cavill!Sherlock Holmes x Y/n!Reader
Word count: 3.4k
Summary: In which, Enola found her brother's love letter.
*
“Dear Scherlock,”
     Enola hasn’t finished the whole letter and yet she already pulls a face, disgusted with the sender. It’s not because of a thought of her favourite brother having a partner. If anything, she would be the happiest person on Earth seeing Sherlock standing with a woman—a remarkable woman—beside him.
     But, out of the many outstanding, smart, remarkable women in this century, why must this woman Sherlock choose? Who did this woman think Sherlock is? A German?
     “By the time you’re reading this letter, I might not be in England anymore. And I should’ve told you this a few days ago, but nowhere seemed the right time.
     “But then again, when is the right time when it comes to me and us...”
     Enola wonders how long is a few days ago. Has it only been a few days? Well, she would like to think that it’s only been a few days since Sherlock received the love letter. But judging by the faded ink, she thinks it must be three weeks the least.
     And the hole at the centre, and the rips at the edges give Enola an impression that Sherlock must have been rereading the letter since the day he received it. With that case, Enola wonders how much his brother likes this woman, how much this woman means to him.
     She wonders if she knew this woman because let’s face it—since Enola knows Sherlock, she never not know Sherlock’s lovers. Call it a perk of being an inspired detective. She might learn one or two tricks to spy on her brother from her brother himself and she’s guilty to pull the tricks on her own brother.
     Enola continues reading the letter out loud even though she is well aware that she could be caught by Sherlock at any moment seeming that she is, indeed, in Sherlock’s apartment. (One of the places where she enters and leaves anytime she’d like.)
     Enola could feel this woman’s frustration with Sherlock through the letter. Glad that she’s not the only person who feels like it. Even being his sister is frustrating.
     Everything is a no, for instance. Like “No, I don’t need your help.” Or “No, you can’t stay.” Or “No. Just no.” And then there are times when he acts like he loves you yet says the opposite. It’s frustrating to make Sherlock opens up upon something. Just anything.
     Enola guessed, he is the same in romance.
     “I just wanted to let you know that I—”
     “That’s enough now, Enola.”
     Sherlock, out of nowhere, without warning, snatches the love letter from his sister’s delicate hands, leaving her agape in shock.
     “I suggest you leave before I call Mycroft to make you leave,” Sherlock threatens while refolding the letter and carefully slips it into the pocket of the same vest he wore to sleep last night, securing it as if it’s the most vulnerable thing in the world.
     Ignoring her brother, Enola says, “Would you care to tell me—”
     “And for the thousandth times, Enola, stop touching my belongings!” Sherlock turns around and starts making his way towards the living room, where he works most of the times, before turning back around to face Enola.
     Enola frowns. “What?”
     Squinting his eyes at his sister, Sherlock says, “How did you get in?”
     “How did I get in?”
     “Into my apartment. How did you get into my apartment? Did you steal my spare keys? Ah, wait. No. Don’t answer. I don’t think I want to hear it.” Sherlock sighs before making 180 degrees turn and gets back to his desk.
     Her eyes trail after her brother’s figure before he stops in front of his desk and sighs and runs his hands through his face and hair.
     “God...” he whispers to himself.
     Enola observes Sherlock’s living room. To her, there’s nothing wrong with it. There are still papers on the floor though on a stack rather than scattering all over. His working desk is neater unlike last night where there were unwashed coffee mugs here and there. His journaling pens are inside their holder—right here they belong.
     “It was all a mess, Sherlock. And I was bored while waiting for you to wake up so I helped a little.” Enola shrugs rather than coward away. “Plus, now you can work without difficulty.”
     “Work without difficulty? I almost had everything figured out, organised to its timeline.” Sherlock wants to shout but it’s impossible with Enola’s innocent doe eyes staring back at him. “This is… this is why I never invited anyone into my apartment. Now, leave before I—”
     “Oh, don’t play that Mycroft card on me, Sherlock.” Enola puts a finger up to warn her brother. “I’m not going anywhere until you tell me about that letter.”
     Sherlock hung his hands on his waist. Annoyance is creeping inside him. “What about that letter?”
     “Who sent you that letter?”
     Sherlock shrugs. His face barely showed any emotions when he answers, “I don’t know.”
     Enola narrows her eyes at her brother. It’s still hard to read Sherlock’s facial expression but she knows he is lying to her right now. “Do I know her?”
     “Either you know her or not, that’s none of your business. Now, before I use a force on you, I suggest you leave.”
     Enola smiles mischievously, crossing her arms on her chest. “Is it? Well, let me tell you what, brother. Whomever that girl is, I really think you can get a smarter woman because who the hell misspells Sherlock ‘Scherlock’?”
     Something inside Sherlock twists. His eyes darkens as he looks into Enola’s eyes. “Hey. Don’t talk about her like that.”
     “So you know her?” Enola’s face lights up as if she’s on the verge of getting the answer she wants. “And if you know her, than I must know her, too! Or is she someone new?” Enola beams.
     A random curse escapes Sherlock’s mouth.
     “Oh, come on, brother! Tell me! I swear I won’t tell mother and Mycroft about her.”
     “Really? You would do that?” Sherlock doesn’t fully trust Enola despite her being his little sister, despite how she knew every woman he spent the time with or had a relationship with.
     Hell, Enola even saved him from bad relationships on several occasions. But, regarding the current topic, not everything needs to be told, isn’t it? Even when she claims that she won’t spill anything to their mother—the woman whom she freakily closed with. And he knows that there’s nothing good coming out when Enola and Eudora together.
     However, like Enola said over a few months before, that there’s nothing wrong in admitting that he could use a friend. Being constantly on the run, solving puzzles, fighting people, can get lonely. And seeming that the only friend he has now is Enola, there’s nothing wrong in confiding her, is it?
     Sherlock finally let out a heavy sigh. Defeated? Maybe. How could he not when Enola is giving that innocent, puppy-dog eyes to him? That bright smile, curiosity in those similar dark brown eyes? Sherlock envies her sometimes. She seems to know nothing except laughing even though they’re under a difficult situation. So much reminds him their mother.
     “It’s… Y/n.”
     “Y/n?” Enola raises her eyebrows, confused for a split second.
     She doesn’t believe her brother because she didn’t think it would be her to send a letter with a misspell, to be honest. Because the Y/n that Enola knew is clever and precise in her works. There’s no way she could misspell a name or a phrase especially when it comes to Sherlock.
     Enola stares at her bother for a few seconds longer, waiting for him to tell her that he was joking. And maybe even an explanation, but nothing came. And Enola starts to try to read her brother’s facial expression.
     First, Enola notices how serious he looks. But isn’t that how his face looks like all the time? Then, there is a tell on his face. One that means that Y/n purposely misspelled Sherlock’s name and that Sherlock knew it and he didn’t try to correct her because... that’s the only way for him to know that it’s Y/n.
     Seriously, come to think of it, that was a brilliant way to communicate so neither of them get caught by enemies.
     “Oh. Y/n.”
     “Now, that you got your answer—” Sherlock closes the distance between him and Enola. He doesn’t have to put extra energy on her when he pushes her by the arm because her weight is nothing to be compared to his size, but it could be a struggle when she is pushing against him.
     “But what does she want? Where is she now? When did you get that letter? It said—”
     “No. you’re not getting anything else.”
     Enola tries her best to fight her brother’s strength, but seems to no avail. The more she fights, the more she loses, and the more she’s tired. So instead, she let Sherlock leads her towards the front door of his apartment.
     “Sherlock, please! I need to know that she’s okay. Are—Are you meeting her? I’d like to meet her. You know I missed her! I missed playing problems solving together. And—urgh—I would like to invite her to be on my team.”
     “To be on your team?” Sherlock laughs sarcastically at Enola.
     Why does she think that it’s a good idea to drag Y/n into this detective-spiralling world? And where did that idea come from?
     Y/n isn’t a detective herself. She is a daughter to a duke and a pioneer—a brilliant pioneer and gambler, he must say. Her charm would melt every man in the room and her wit would make every man in the opposite chair to give up everything before the game even started. He was one of her victims. However, the harder he pulls away from her, the closer he gets. Now, here he is.
     “I thought you said she was stupid.”
     “But that—”
     Before Enola could finish her sentence, Sherlock closes the door at her face with a loud bang. He intended to leave Enola hanging, but that loud bang, though. That was not intentional.
*
Y/n is mad at him. Sherlock knows that. And he will let her stay mad at him because he knows he was wrong. And he will let her stay mad him for as long as she wants even if only that would make the letters keep coming.
     But, no matter how much Y/n has been writing for him, she never sent a letter twice in one week. Meanwhile she had explained how marvellous her voyage had been, another letter came only a day after Sherlock received the last one.
     Sherlock didn’t think how crazy it would be to cross the ocean under one night for Y/n to meet him in England. Perhaps, he has lost his mind as well, but when Y/n says she wants to see him, Sherlock drops everything and instantly decides he will, too.
     Sherlock may seem calm on the outside. After all, he is a detective. He cannot show any less emotion on his face or he would be the one in danger. But only God knows how nervous he feels inside when he sees Y/n’s beautiful figure (even though only from behind), waiting in her new dress (at least, the one Sherlock hasn’t seen she worn before), under the big tree.
     After all these years, out of the many extravagant, nice places they have in England and yet Y/n chose a place where they had their first meet.
     If Enola knew how much he had been practicing a reunion speech for Y/n, not only that young girl will mock him for the rest of his life. But she will make sure their mother knew how weak her middle son is despite being the most grudged-looking. And not only that Eudora will laugh at him for that, but will also treat him as if he is a baby. Not like that never happened before, but he definitely doesn’t want that to happen again.
     “Y/n,” Sherlock greets the apple of his eyes.
     When she turns around like a slow-motion, Sherlock feels the world stops. He lost every word. That reunion speech he had been mentally practicing disappears. It seems that he cannot do anything except stare at her.
     It’s only been a few weeks, but she is already looking different. Sherlock isn’t sure if it’s the make-up that is making her looking more mature than the last time they met, or the way she pulls her hair into a neat bun, but either way, she looks prettier. Vibrant. Sherlock doesn’t know why he hasn’t asked Y/n a picture that he could keep in his coat watch.
     “Hello, Sherlock,” Y/n greets him back. Her voice melodious. It sounds like she is singing in his ears. That snickers at the end of her lips. Oh, how much he missed those lips. “What, you’re speechless now, Mister Holmes? If I didn’t know you any better, I would think that you think I’m ugly.”
     Yeah, it’s weird that Sherlock is speechless in front of a woman while he never have done so before... before he met Y/n. And he’d met a lot of women in his life before and even after Y/n left, but none of them were as beautifully confident as Y/n. It’s scary especially how she could drive Sherlock, a great and flawless detective, crazy and weak. But it’s also sexy as hell.
     Sherlock licks his lower lip. Smoothing the front of his coat and clears his throat. “Sorry.”
     “Don’t be,” Y/n smirks. “Though I would love to hear you plead for forgiveness after those times you left me without any goodbyes.”
     “I—I thought you’re in Spain.” Great. Now he’s stuttering.
     “Oh, I thought you never read my letters,” Y/n teases.
     It’s her defence mechanism that she had learned over years of spending so much time around people with titles, who think that they know more than somebody else, who think that they can get anything they want with a snap of their fingers.
     “Y/n, I’m—”
     “Sorry?” Y/n laughs. “After so many letters I sent and you only replied one? I have to be honest with you, Sherlock, I don’t know why I’m even here to see you. Perhaps, I missed your face. Perhaps, I’m here only to see my own heart breaks… again.”
     “I never meant to treat you that way.”
     “I could say I never meant to tell you I love you in those letters, ignored the one you decided to reply, and agreed with my father’s decision to marry me with another man in Spain.”
     Y/n had done many things that could leave Sherlock heartbroken (that night when she beat him at poker, that day when she told him she had a date, that evening when Enola brought her to his apartment with blood pooling her dress, that day when she told him she was leaving). But to hear her to marry someone other than him makes his heart scattering to pieces.
     “I could be pregnant with his child by now, Sherlock, and you still hadn’t replied my letters.”
     “Y/n, I swear to you, I want to—”
     “Is that why you wanted to see me? To tell me that you wanted to reply letters, but barely had enough time to do so?” Y/n makes a sound coming from her nose and shakes his head. “Write one alphabet if one second was the only time you have and I would still appreciate it and keep it with me everywhere I go.”
     His heart blossoms with the thought Y/n bringing his love letter everywhere she goes. They can’t be together at most times, constantly feeling half a heart, but if a love letter makes them whole again. If only Y/n knew how he has been bringing that one letter with him everywhere he goes…
     “But you didn’t reply my letters so, of course, I tried to forget you. And when you replied, asked to see me at a place where we first met and had an ideal date...” Y/n trails off, chuckling to herself at how crazy her life has been. “Your word. Not mine.”
     Sherlock doesn’t need her to remind him that because he remembers everything that happened that day. He remembers how he felt before he asked her if she would like to have a date with him. In fact, it was similar to the one he is feeling right now.
     He used to not believe in true love. But if what he is feeling right now was the sign, maybe he will have to believe it. Eventually.
     Still tongue-tied, head in the cloud seeing Y/n for the first time after weeks, Sherlock tries to register what she had been delivering: One is about how she wants Sherlock to plead for forgiveness for all those times he left her without even seeing her first. One is about how she was expected to marry a man of her father’s choice. In between these, his mind suddenly takes him back to when he saw how sweet Y/n had been with Enola.
     Then, she talks about how he had replied one of her letters that leads her to see him here. And—
     Hold on a second—
     Now, Sherlock must admit that he was drunk several times, here and there, especially when the case gets really tough with no leads. Also when he misses her so much that he can’t handle his emotion, but never in his drunkest mind that he would reply Y/n’s letter. No matter how keen he is because he thought Y/n would be safer that way.
     Now he wonders...
     “Y/n—”
     “No. Don’t stop me,” Y/n slaps her hand in the air in front of his face. Indeed, she was in the middle of talking about how she had to run away from her own wedding, to get back to England and to be near Sherlock. “I’ve been saving this story for you to listen so that you know how you were at a massive lost.”
     “I’m sure I have plenty of times to hear that story in the future,” Sherlock says, “but I need to know—that letter you said you received. You said it was from me?”
     “How could have you forgotten the letter that you wrote yourself?” Y/n’s heart breaks with the thought of Sherlock writing the letter to other women.
     “Tell me what does it say in that letter, my dear.”
     Y/n feels her face heart when she hears Sherlock calling him with a pet name that he barely uses. She wished she knew why.
     “Was it intended to be sent to someone else? Another women women perhaps?”
     The end of Sherlock’s lips twitches with the thought of Y/n being jealous. And as much as he likes seeing that on her face, with a little argument about how she’s not the slightest bit of jealous, it’s not the time.
     “Please. Y/n. That letter. Tell me.”
     Y/n sighs, knowing that she won’t win this time. “It says, ‘Afternoon, December 24. Meet me at a place where we had our first date. I have something to tell you’.”
     “Did you have that letter with you?”
     “Why is it so impor—”
     “Y/n.”
     Y/n reads Sherlock for a few seconds before she takes the letter out from her purse and hands it to him. Indeed, she brought the letter with her. Brought it all the way home from Spain. And she’s not humiliated by it.
     Suddenly, Sherlock laughs.
     Y/n looks at Sherlock as if he had lost his mind. “Would you care tell me what’s happening? Why are you suddenly asking me about that letter? Why are you suddenly laughing? Sherlock?!”
     “Oh, Y/n, how stupid can we be.” Sherlock is smiling, one so big that is showing his teeth and makes Y/n’s heart flutters. “Darling, I think we’ve been set up.”
     “You’re saying you didn’t even want to see me in the first place? That me being here, running away from my own wedding, has been a useless effort?” Y/n doesn’t know what to feel. She thought she finally could hear everything Sherlock didn’t tell in the letters he didn’t reply. After what she had been through, Sherlock is telling her that he didn’t even want to see her?
     “No, sweetheart, no.” Sherlock shakes his head.
     Three pet names in one day, after months of not seeing other, after years of drawing the line? Sherlock must be out of his mind.
     “You’re overthinking, my love—”
     Four.
     “—I’m just saying that someone set us up to meet here.”
     “Who could—”
     “Enola,” both of you say once that particular, mischievous young woman, cross both of your minds.

Creatures of Glory
Loki (x Reader)
A/N: When I started writing this, it was supposed to be something with an ‘etheral’ vibe, based on the feeling I get when I listen to ‘Creatures of Glory’ by halfalive... I just did a little mistake and listened to ‘romantic homicide’ by d4vd so it became a little more depressing... hope you like it anyway
warnings: angst, very emotional (for me at least), bittersweet ending
word count: 3.257

It had started as a normal difference of opinions, a quarrel that occurred multiple times a day. Loki was used to it by now that anything he said or believed in would be ridiculed by his stoic father. But tonight, during dinner time it had escalated yet again.
Odin had yelled at Loki, had berated his decisions about everything and had accused him of malice towards the crown. The table grew uncomfortably quiet as Odin sighed deeply as if he was the one being persecuted at the moment.
“It is time you concentrate on a more important matter, child.” Odin declared exhausted, “Your brother will be king very soon and what are you doing? Wasting your time in the palace library.”
“I’m training, too,” Loki interjected hurt.
“The little hobby your mother taught you is no comparison to the blood and sweat Thor puts into his training, even in his free time! And what do you do?”
“Broaden my horizon about other cultures,” Loki mumbled under his breath, the fork lazily dragging over his plate. His hunger had been gone even before dinner had been served.
“Speak up!” Odin commanded sharply.
“I only try to educate myself further, father.” Loki tried to sound as calm as possible as he met Odin’s gaze. Odin’s hearty laughter was unsettling.
“Your claimed education makes you soft!” his face contorted in disgust, “You could spend your time so much wiser! Haven’t your books told you that? During the time you waste with ancient scriptures that are outdated, you could train your agility! It is time that you think like a royal! How can your knowledge of books benefit our people? How will they help once a hostile tribe decides to invade our home? Will you throw books at them in hopes they will cut themselves on the edges of the paper?”
“There are many ways in which books are hel-“
“Enough!” Odin yelled, cutting Loki off, “You will stop submerging your mind in these books you call entertainment! And if I must ban you from the library.”
Loki’s eyes widened in horror at Odin’s threat. One of the few places he had to escape from his confinement of people who simply didn’t care to understand him would be robbed of him just like that. His helpless look panned to Frigga in the hope she would appease her seething husband as she always did. But when her hand slid over the table to cover Odin’s hand, Loki already feared the worst.
“Your father only means well, son,” she spoke softly but her words hurt more than a million daggers piercing his heart. She agreed with Odin.
Loki gulped hard and nodded in defeat. He excused himself from the table, scurrying back to his chamber. He felt the anger rise in his chest and a heavy lump forming in his throat as he hurried through the corridors of the palace. He barely made out his surroundings as his glassy eyes blurred his view. The last thing he wanted now was to be seen by a servant who would surely spread the new gossip all around the palace.
As the heavy doors of his room shut behind him all the anguish left his lungs as he broke down to his knees. He felt taken back to his teenage years when the ‘rebellious kid’ had been humiliated in front of the entire council as he had asked a sensible question about Odin’s resolution. He had heard Odin yell a lot in his teens, but he had never heard him yell that long. Several days went by before Odin calmed down and Loki was tolerated in his presence again.
As he got older Loki realised that he had never been rebellious. In Odin’s eyes, he had always been guilty of treasonous thoughts. The aching truth was that Loki could’ve breathed just a little too loudly and Odin would’ve found treason in the way he had inhaled. No matter what he did, he could have never pleased his father.
Loki’s chest heaved as he angrily got up to his feet again. He couldn’t continue living like this, confined in a house where everyone only looked out for themselves, never even considering the needs or feelings of others. Loki gulped hard, the clump in his throat hurting. He needed space, this instant. He hurriedly grabbed his winter cloak, escaping over the railing of his balcony into the night. He knew exactly where he was headed, to the mountains that already called for him. The only place left for him in this god-forsaken realm that felt even remotely like a home, a safe haven.
Loki still remembered the first time it had given him comfort, back when he still was just a young boy. Thor and Loki often spend their days with their friends in the mountains of Asgard, playing their pretend games in the forest and the meadows that lead up to the highest point of the kingdom. On one particular day, they had played hide and seek. Loki had found the perfect hiding spot, excitedly waiting for the others to find him last. But when his legs started to hurt from crouching after what must’ve been hours and the sun had started to set accompanied by a cool breeze that tousled through the leaves, Loki’s anticipation of them finding him dwindled until they were smothered entirely. They had forgotten him.
Loki had strayed through the woods for another hour, calling out for his brother and friends, but to no response. It wasn’t the first time that they hadn’t bothered looking for him, but they had never left him behind before. He still felt the tears that rolled down his cheeks that day, as he tried to call out their names in between hiccups, bleakness arising deep down in him. That was the first time he realised that he would not only be a side character to his father, but to everyone else that played a role in his life. He just couldn’t understand why. Frigga had always told him that he was a loveable and valuable person, but why did nobody treat him like one then? When all his tears had been shed, he shuffled further into the forest. He had no intention of going home any time soon.
When Loki reached the rocky clearing that led up to the highest mountain his heart skipped a beat. An unfamiliar sensation suddenly spread through his veins. Had someone called his name? He listened carefully as he tried to make out the source. As his eyes roamed over the boulders before him, they got stuck at the sun-soaked clearing high up a stony path. He couldn’t quite describe why, but for some reason he felt compelled to climb up to it, as if the sunbathed clearing was drawing him in, enticing him to continue until he reached the top.
Once he overcame the last boulder and pulled himself up on the large ledge, he was awe-struck. He got to his feet, slowly walking towards the edge. The view was breathtaking as he was able to look over the entire Kingdom. He sat down, his legs dangling over the edge, as he watched the sun go down and the sky bled from red into blue. Hours later he had come back to his senses, a blanket covering his shoulders, when he realised that he had to be home a while ago. Hastily he hurried back home, worried about the reaction of his mother and father – but when he arrived at the palace, it seemed like no one had taken notice of his absence.
Ever since then, Loki had found comfort in his personal safe space up in the mountains. He made sure to tell no one of his special place nor be followed by anyone. But then again it was easy for him since he became more invisible to everyone with each passing day.
Loki couldn’t count the times he had sat here, watching the stars, whenever living at the palace had just become too much. Here he would find peace. It felt peculiar, sometimes he even questioned his own mind. His powers seemed to be in harmony up here, summoning blankets or treats before he even could think of it. As if a higher power was looking out for him, reading his every need in his heart as if it was an open book. If he didn’t know better, he would’ve thought, that someone was watching him, staying by his side in his most vulnerable moments, looking out to comfort him. Sometimes he would still feel this inexplicable force he had felt the day he had found this place, creep up his spine.
The most peculiar thing though happened whenever he fell asleep up there. The dreams he’d experienced felt more like memories, but when he woke up he was sure, that he had never experienced these situations ever before. Still, they felt as if they would happen one day. From time to time the same person would appear in them. He couldn’t quite make them out in his hazy dreams, he never got to know their name either, but they felt like home. Like someone Loki could trust without a single doubt of their loyalty to him. And no matter what crazy adventure came their way in his dreams, they were always at his side, looking after him and helping him through each obstacle after another.
Loki often times asked himself what these dreams meant. He soon came to the conclusion, that this spot brought out his deepest wishes and desires. He knew no matter how often he would claim that he did not need anybody, he was aware that he lied to himself. Because all he wished for was someone to understand him, see him for who he truly was and love him unconditionally. Someone who wouldn’t forget about him so easily and be there for him when he needed comfort the most. Someone just for him - a soulmate.
A stone suddenly buckled under his feet but like a miracle, a branch reached out and Loki grabbed it just in time. Loki sighed deeply as his mind focused back on reality. Soon he would be back at his place of tranquillity. He halted for a moment as he took a deep breath, trying to clear his head before he would continue his ascent. A silly argument was nothing worth dying for because of a misstep which would throw him into the throat of the canyon. It hadn’t been the brightest idea to run from the palace on the coldest night on Asgard but then again, Loki hadn’t chosen to fight with Odin tonight either.
The cool night air that was blowing around his body and piercing through the thick material of his leather garb would be soon forgotten and replaced by the warmth of his inner peace. The wind tousled in his locks as he climbed the mountain determined again. His nose was already bright red, he couldn’t even feel his ears anymore. With every meter, he climbed up the mountain his fingers began to get stiff.
As he climbed onto the ledge with the last ounce of his strength, he huffed exhausted. He brushed his hair out of his face as he tried to catch his breath. The night sky was clear, the stars twinkling brighter than they had in a while. Loki let himself fall onto the ground a few meters away from the edge. His gaze wandered over the peaks of the trees as he patiently waited for the calm to wash over him just as it did so many times before. A blanket appeared around his shoulders, and he chuckled bitterly. Something about this gesture felt more taunting to him than before. After all, what was the point in searching for comfort with nobody around able to provide it? Loki had always reckoned that one day his only solace would disappear as well. He just thought he had more time until that dreaded day would arrive.
All the overwhelming feelings from the past seemed to add onto another, threatening to crush him then and there. He felt so alone, isolated from everybody. A shiver ran over his body, the blanket not helping at all. Anger started to burn in his belly. Now even his only retreat was gone, taken from him because… he did not know why. He couldn’t recall what awful thing he had done to be robbed of his last comfort. He couldn’t understand why the gods seemed to hate him this much. All he had the audacity to ask for was to be seen by someone. To be loved just as much as Thor was.
“Is it too much to ask?” he angrily cried out into the night. His teeth clenched together tightly as he felt his heart being pulled apart.
“It’s not fair.” he huffed towards the ground. Tears filled his eyes instantly as if they had waited for their queue. Loki swallowed hard as he shook his head. His head fell onto his palms, his fingers tugging at his strands of hair. Loki let go of his perfectly crafted façade that was crumbling rapidly now, all his anguish and desperation breaking through the restraints, making him a sobbing mess.
He didn’t even notice at first when the black night sky suddenly lit up in a bright flash. The wind around Loki quickly picked up, whirling him around. Startled Loki slowly looked up from his palms. The stars started to burn even brighter, illuminating his surroundings as if it was daytime. Loki protectively covered his face with his arm, as he jumped to his feet to get away from the edge.
Would the gods punish him for his ungratefulness?
Before his eyes, the stars began to expand in a line until they connected. A crack emerged in the firmament. Loki’s eyes widened in shock as he watched closely as something appeared from behind the night sky. A face?
"Who are you?" Loki tried to bark at the sky but the wavering in his voice betrayed the fear that spread through his limbs and threatened to choke him.
'Don't be afraid' a sweet melodic voice resounded through his head. Loki turned around hectically, trying to find the source of the voice.
"This can't be real." his breath threatened to get out of hand as he fell back to his knees, cowering on the ground while he covered his face.
'Loki, you're safe.' the voice tingled in his thoughts. The indescribable calmness he had waited for finally washed over him as the storm around him subsided as well. Suddenly he could breathe freely again, with no sign of panic left. He slowly removed his hands from over his eyes as he glanced up into the night sky.
"You're beautiful." he gasped in awe as he observed them in the sky, their eyes twinkling in the most beautiful y/e/c he had ever seen, "Are you God?"
A chuckle flit through his mind before it resounded: 'Far from it.'
"Who are you then?"
'A friend.'
“Of whom?”
‘Of you.’ echoed through his body. Loki's eyes widened as he connected the dots.
"All these years... was that you?" suddenly everything fell into place for him. The sleepless nights he had endured just to be greeted by a steaming hot mug of his favourite tea. The decisions he made even though they had never occurred to him until he had decided on them, “But why?”
‘Because you're special to me.'
"I?" he asked bewildered.
‘Yes you, you silly prince.’ the voice's hearty laughter made Loki’s heart skip a beat.
“What's your name?” he asked fidgetily, but it was silent for a while, “Please, let me know my guardian angel's name.”
‘My name is Y/N.’
"Y/N" Loki repeated slowly, “Such a beautiful name.”
‘Thank you.’ Y/N chuckled abashed.
“Tell me, Y/N. Why did you show yourself to me tonight?” Loki asked tentatively.
‘Because you needed someone.’ Y/N’s voice brushed over Loki like a soothing hug, ‘Someone to tell you that you’re not alone and loved by many.’
“How would you know that?” Loki asked astonished.
‘Because I do as well.’ To see Y/N’s warm smile, made Loki’s cheeks heat up, ‘You mean so much to a lot of people, an uncountable number.’
“But what do they see in me?” Loki asked bewildered, feeling conflicted by their praise.
‘Because you give them hope. There are so many who struggle with life and the circumstances they were born in as well. And they look up to you, they find comfort in you.’
“They really do?”
‘Yes. They would do anything to give you a hug or just be able to speak to you. To treat you just like you deserve, with unconditional love and affection.’
“But I did nothing to deserve it.” Tears brimmed in his eyes again.
‘You did so much.’ Y/N sniffed, ‘You helped so many people overcome their fears, and helped them to build healthy boundaries with their friends and family.’
“I did?”
‘And so much more.’ Y/N nodded, ‘Loki, you are loved and appreciated by all of us. You’re perfect just the way you are.’
“Wow.” Loki huffed as he shuffled towards the edge, sitting down to let his feet swing over like he had done so many times. He was still processing what was going on, trying to decipher if this was really happening or if he had fallen to his death earlier when he had ascended the mountain.
“Am I... dead?” blurted from his
‘No,’ Y/N hushed him, but their sad smile gave away, that they knew something he did not.
“Will I die soon?” he couldn’t help but ask.
‘I cannot tell you that.’ Y/N gulped, ‘But even when the day comes, you'll always stay alive in my heart forever.’
“And you will be with me then?” he asked through tears.
‘Until the very last breath you take.’ Y/N confirmed again.
‘ Loki, can you promise me something?’ Y/N’s voice made him look back up to the sky.
“Of course!”
‘Please never doubt your worth. You’re not a freak of nature and you have nothing to be ashamed of. You are deserving of love and affection and all kinds of good things.’ Loki nodded eagerly.
“Will I remember this?” Loki suddenly asked fearfully, unsettled by the idea he might forget this the second Y/N was gone.
‘Deep down you'll keep this as a faint memory of a dream.’ Y/N reassured him warmly. Loki nodded thoughtfully when the wind around him started to pick up again, howling in his ears.
“Wait, please don't go!” Loki watched leaves tousle around him, the panic he felt earlier returning, “Please don’t leave me.”
‘I'll never leave you.’ Y/N’s voice resounded firm yet calming, ‘I’m always near you Loki, I won't ever leave you alone. Never.’
“Will we see each other again?" he asked woefully.
'We’ll see us in your dreams again,' Y/N assured. Loki nodded torpidly as it sank in.
“Thank you,” he whispered only over a breath as he watched the firmament slowly close again. He didn’t miss the sad smile that Y/N mustered up, a single tear rolling down their cheeks, falling through the gap just before it closed. Heavy clouds pushed themselves over the sky, releasing the water they had carried. Loki let the droplets drench him as he longingly stared up to the sky, his chest was overflowing with love yet he didn’t understand where it had come from.

Ssssssigh. I don’t think I will ever be able to talk about shit like this off anon even tough I have accepting friends I’m just shyyyyy, but I need to babble of how the idea of shipcest reader insert blankshipping is consuming me. Y/N as the third sibling to the twins, wether they actually are a younger /older sibling or a “fun fact: the subway masters are actually triplets and have a non identical sibling” kind of deal, I am currently just smitten with the idea of Y/N that is actually related to them. The twins themself share a special bond that borders on twin thelepathy and it can make one feel like they are being left out, but they love the heck out if their non identical sibling as well. Bonus points for Y/N and Emmet actually hooking up first, Ingo knowing, but pointedly ignoring it / feeling guilty because in his confused mind he feels directly responsible for this, like his disgusting thoughts somehow seeped over to them. Which in turn both of his younger siblings to team up and try to get their Nii-San to join them, he deserves all their love as well. Come on Ingo don’t derail this three car train, we were both perfectly depraved even without you “corrupting us”, but if our darling big brother is just as perverted as we are there is no need to hide it from us no? Maybe we should give him some gentle but firm encouragement, make out a bit n in front of him, show him what he’s missing, call out for him when we kiss so he just knows how much his siblings want him to join?
notes: incest
i'm glad that despite your shyness, this blog could be a place for you to share your thoughts :D!! ingo and emmet incest stuff will forever hold a special place in my heart, so im always happy to write about it HAHA
I've always really liked the idea of Reader being a younger sibling of them! And the whole twin telepathy thing, you've hit the nail right on the head for me as well… I always kind of like the internal conflict of sibling!Reader seeing how close they are, how they can seemingly understand each other without words, and how they wish that they could have something like that for themselves… But knowing that it's not something achievable. Because while Ingo and Emmet understand you better than most people, it's still not the same.
Perhaps this desire for closeness got twisted somewhere along the way, and that's how everything ended up like this. You felt desire for, and later, a feeling of satisfaction in sharing something with Emmet that he didn't with Ingo, as far as you knew, at least.
Still, it probably happened in some kind of drunken state of mind, because to make the first move on your brother takes a special kind of courage. I think that Emmet would very enthusiastically reciprocate, honestly. With this kind of dynamic, I really enjoy the idea that they've all just been secretly pining for each other for years.
Ingo is the one who has always felt the guiltiest about it, and the most disgusting. He's also the one that thought about you the most often. Even though he's seen you the first time, and left without you noticing, he watched for far, far too long instead of stopping you.
When you and Emmet try to convince him to join, Ingo freezes up entirely. The words that usually flow so readily from his lips have dried up entirely. The part of him that hopes that this is a dream, and that it's not, clash with equal powers. He knows he's kind of standing at a point of no return.
His silence, combined with the expression that's unreadable, even for you, someone who knows him so long, is somewhat terrifying. You shoot Emmet a nervous glance, but he seems unconcerned. He was the one who told you it was definitely okay to do this, after all.
And yet… With your lips still slick with Emmet's spit, you ask: "You… Don't think I'm disgusting for this, do you? You don't hate me?"
"Of course not," Ingo breathes out. "I could never." And he takes a shaky first step forward, and he never looks back.

Vent post
The more I sit and think about it
The more I realize I hate you.
I hate everything about you, there is NOTHING redeemable about you.
You refuse to get better mentally and fake disorders to excuse it, you do nothing but put on a show for the people you made me isolate myself too.
I’m not an idiot, you isolated me on purpose because you were jealous.
You were so fucking jealous of me and ALWAYS made me feel like the bad guy because I did things you couldn’t.
And anytime I tried to break up with you, you’d threaten to kill yourself.
You did nothing but use my own empathy against because god forbid someone used the word no with you.
You didn’t understand what consent was, you decided to date a sex repulsed asexual just to get upset that I didn’t want to fuck you.
You would do nothing but make me feel guilty for not feeling sexual attraction to the point I’d fake it just so you wouldn’t be mad at me anymore.
And in the end, you blamed me for the fact you hated your own sexual stuff despite the fact I told you from the start that we would never have sex.
You blamed me for being asexual like I chose it.
And god
You had to have your lesbian wlw fantasy so bad that you pressured me to hide my identity as a trans man so you could call me a girl.
I’ve never been as dysphoric before as I was during our relationship.
I wanted to kill myself everyday just because you couldn’t handle the fact you were attracted to a man
And when I told you the first time that you made me feel this way, you grew cold towards me until I stopped breaking down over it.
And the 2nd time when I told you, I had to comfort you for your actions.
I had to say it was okay
Your stupid internet reputation was always more important than our relationship and when I’d mention it, you’d guilttrip me to the point I felt selfish for saying anything
You would put words in my mouth to fit your own twisted narrative
I still remember how you told me mlm relationships made you uncomfortable
And how you hated characters I liked because you were fucking jealous
I still remember how you would act towards my brother, you seemed disgusted by him…even jealous at times?
And in the end, you never told your friends how you basically sexually harassed me our entire relationship
Or how you sent death threats and harassed 14 yr olds because you didn’t like them
You told children to off themselves because YOU didn’t like them.
And now, you’re not only watching what I do but you’re attempting to add my friends
Stay out of my life, people move on and I’m getting better
Why can’t you??
God
You forced all of your fucking kinks on me and would look at porn on calls
You blamed me for your eating disorder once when I did nothing but try to help
You made me “befriend” a pedophile, YOUR GROOMER, so you could cyberstalk them
I hate your stupid innocent shit, I hate you
I always had to say it was okay when you did anything wrong
Nothing you did to me was okay.
I have moments where I’m terrified that my friends hate me even when they’re next to me.
I get scared when someone gets too close to me because the idea of being touched physically disgusts me.
I am ashamed of having a disorder that I cannot control because you used it against me constantly.
I am ashamed to be autistic because you always would use my own traits against me
I am ashamed to be trans because you planted your hatred for me from the start.
I am ashamed of who I was with you.
I wasn’t a good partner in our relationship either
I was awful but god damn
I can admit that I did something wrong
I’m not lying about what I did
I’m not claiming to be a victim
I can grow and heal as a person, why can’t you.
Why can’t you grow up, we are adults
Act like it for once
Get off of the internet for once and make some fucking friends
Get a hobby idk
Be normal??
Just leave me alone
I used to defend you against everyone and made you seem like some sweet angel
Everyone we knew hated your guts
Everyone we knew pointed out how I was happier and less aggressive with you gone
How I seemed more at peace than constantly boiling with anger
And I am
I’ve been happier now than I ever did with you
And
Im free
I wish I never had asked you out
I can’t say I wish I never met you because I made great friends in that time
Friends that you bullied for having autistic traits
I still remember you feeding into D.I.D stereotypes and being friends with people who talked about räping kids
And
I hate you.
I have hated you since my 18th birthday when you offered no comfort after my groomer contacted me.
And I realize now why you didn’t
Because you’re just like him, I’m every possible way.
You make me sick.

Author’s note: SHE’S FINALLY HERE!!! Thank you to everybody that supported the first part and left a comment asking for a part 2! It wasn’t part of the original plan for this fic but I’m a sucker for a sappy happy ending so I’m glad it turned out like this. Not proofread. Feedback very much appreciated! Enjoy xx 
 Austin, Texas, USA, October 2021
 // Remembering her comes in flashbacks and echoes
   Tell myself, "It's time now, gotta let go"
   But moving on from her is impossible
   When I still see it all in my head
                            In burning red // 
 Austin was miserable. 
 Charles ended up P4, but he didn’t feel happy or satisfied. Actually, he didn’t feel anything at all. It was a defense mechanism he thinks, like his own brain was trying to protect him from the overwhelming loneliness and disgust that had overwhelmed him the first night after Monaco. He had held it together until the first time he saw his reflection in the mirror. The face he saw staring back at him was someone he didn’t recognise, someone he didn’t want anything to do with. Someone who lied and deceived in the name of ‘doing the right thing’, but had he really? How could the right thing possibly involve leaving the girl he loved alone and broken? 
 It couldn’t. 
 He chose the easy way out. He was a coward. 
 That night, he cried himself to sleep, only to wake the next morning in the numb state that he would remain in for the entire weekend. Going through the motions; practice; qualifying, and eventually the race, completely disconnected from his own body, only relying on his years of experience in a race car to carry him to the chequered flag. He felt almost guilty for ending up near the podium after putting in so little effort. 
 Charles had been avoiding Arthur like his life depended on it, missing his calls and only replying to his texts with a few words at the most. He had no idea if Arthur had followed through on his plan to tell Y/N about his feelings. Probably not, because if he had then Charles would know by now, right? Or maybe he had, and Y/N realized how much better Arthur was for her. Maybe she was teaching him to play the piano. Maybe they fell asleep in eachothers arms last night. The exact moment the thought of it entered his mind, the glass of water that Charles had been holding shatters against the wall in his trailer. Charles closed his eyes and sighed as the flare of anger started to dissipate from his body. He was sweating, even with the AC in the trailer and his race suit hung loosely around his hips.
 “Charles, they need us for the post-race interviews, we’re all waiting on- ” Carlos stopped dead in his tracks in the doorway of Charles’ trailer. He was staring at the glass on the floor, but it was clear that it was Charles' expression that had scared him in the first place. 
 “Everything okay?” Carlos asked timidly. 
 “Yes, uhm, I just, uh, had an accident” Charles replied as he gestured towards the broken glass. 
Carlos looked at him like he didn’t believe him, a mixture of pity and worry written on his face. It made Charles sick. He didn’t deserve it. 
 “Okay, I’ll just, uh, meet you at the…press then” Carlos mumbled, but he hesitated before leaving, like he was making up his mind about pressing Charles for a better answer. He seemingly decided against it in the end, finally letting the door slam shut behind him. Charles let out a sigh of relief he hadn’t realized he was holding. Having a heart to heart with his teammate about his struggles was about the last thing he wanted to do right now. 
 The day dragged on as usual, and Charles carried on like he had been the whole day, on auto-pilot. This time he tried to put in some effort to not let any more people catch wind of his anomalous behavior, even cracking a joke here and there during the interviews. 
It was surreal, as if his body was nothing more than a puppet that he was controlling. 
Once back at the hotel, Charles could finally let the mask slip, and he let his tears run again in the shower.
 It felt good, a small relief after all the pent up anger and sadness. As his head hit the pillow, Charles let himself think about her, really think about her, for the first time since Monaco. 
Not her tears or the betrayed look on her face that had been haunting him for days, but the good things this time. Her eyes, the way she would excessively use her hands to express herself while telling a story, the way she looked as she fought sleep that first night in his apartment.Finally, he found sleep with a smile on his face. 
 São Paulo, Brazil, November 2021 
 // Regretting her was like wishing you never found out
   That love could be that strong //
 12 missed calls. 
 When Charles woke up that morning, he had missed 12 calls from Arthur. The first one at 11 PM, the last at 1:36 AM. As if that wasn’t enough reason for his stomach to turn, he also had one new text in his inbox. 
 You have received a voicemail from your contact Arthur Leclerc. 
Time: 1:14 AM. 
Duration: 1 min 42 sec. 
 No way, Charles thought, there is absolutely no way this is happening right now. The blood drained from his face as he stared at his phone, frozen and horrified. After a few minutes, he threw it to the end of the bed as if it had burned him. He scrambled his way out of the sheets and made his way to the bathroom. Splashing some cold water on his face as he caught his own eyes in the mirror. He had been here so many times the last few weeks, silently battling himself and letting the part of him that wanted to pretend none of this was real win. But now, that wasn’t an option anymore. He had to pick himself up and face the consequences of his own decisions. 
 So he did, walking to the bed and picking the phone up, before making his way to the balcony adjacent to his hotel room. He sat himself down and took a deep breath as he let the voicemail play. 
 “Charles” 
 The sound of his brother's voice made Charles screw his eyes shut in discomfort. He knew. Even from that one word, Charles could tell that Arther knew. 
 “I, just, I- I don’t know what to fucking say” Arthur followed his statement with a sound somewhere between a laugh and a cry, compelte disbelief lacing his every word. 
 “I took your advice, mon frère, I-uh, told Y/N how I feel. It didn’t work out how I’d imagined it, but you probably knew that right? Yeah, you probably knew because the strangest thing happened. She…she told me that-...she told me that she cares for me and loves me, but not in the way I want her to, because of- because of you. Because of Monaco last summer.” 
Charles felt tears threatening to spill over once again, a physical manifestation of how helpless he felt as he listened to the disdain in his brother's voice. 
 “You’re one of the most important people in my life. How could you- If mom hears about this, If our father was still here to witness this, he would-” 
 Arthur didn’t finish the sentence, but for Charles, he didn’t have to. Charles leaned his elbows on the table and buried his head in his hands. 
 “We could have talked about it, we…we could have figured it out somehow. I just want her to be happy, and if that means that- if that means the two of you- I could have dealt with it. But instead, you lied and treated me like a fool. You let me tell her how I felt when you knew that it was you she really wants” 
 “No, no, I didn’t know! You’d be better for her, I” Charles said to nobody but himself. 
 “You betrayed me. And her, too”   
 The monotone beep of the line cutting off kept ringing in Charles’ ears even after he put the phone down. Charles wonders, if he could go back in time, what he would do differently. He would have told Arthur immediately. He wouldn’t have lied to Y/N. He wouldn’t have taken Landos advice. No, he would have just told the truth. 
 Would have. Should have. Too little, too late. 
 It seems that the only thing he wouldn’t change, was the summer in Monaco. Even with his entire world crashing down around him, he knows that wasn’t his fault, not his mistake. No, it was love, and how could that ever be a mistake? 
As much as his brother's voicemail had pained him, there was something about it that gave Charles a strange sensation of hope. He had hurt Arthur, disappointed him, and in return Arthur blew up his phone and demanded an explanation, but the fact that he even wanted to give Charles this option was a victory in itself. In it, there lay a way to fix things between them. Charles would tell him that he loves him and never meant to hurt him, that he would go to hell and back for his little brother. 
As for Y/N, however, it had been radio silence. Nothing. The last text between them dated back to when he was supposed to already be in Austin, before that godforsaken day in Monaco where he broke her into a million pieces and left her to her own devices. Even now, when she clearly knows that Charles knew about Arthur’s feelings all along and kept it from her, there was nothing. No calls, no texts, no way of knowing if there was anything left to salvage. 
 But he had to try, otherwise all this would have been for nothing. Charles frantically packed a night or two worth of clothes in a backpack and booked yet another last minute flight to Monaco. He probably had his good race results to thank for the fact that Ferrari let him go without much trouble as long as he promised to be back in time for the race weekend without too bad of a jetlag. As he boarded what felt like flight number thousand this month, he found a strange sense of calmness that he hadn’t felt for weeks. 
No more secrets, no more lies, only himself and two people who he loved, and perhaps, a chance to make things right. 
 Monte Carlo, Monaco, November 2021 
Before Charles could even think about facing Y/N, he had to make amends with his brother. He had sent Arthur a text saying he was flying in and would be at his apartment around noon. As he made his way to the elevator in the building, he felt his determination falter slightly. The idea of looking Arthur in the eye suddenly seemed like the hardest thing he’d ever done, but a voice in his head begged to differ, because he had gotten in a racecar after Antoine, and he had picked up the pieces of his family after his fathers passing. If he could do that, he could do anything. 
 When Charles laid his eyes on Arthur for the first time in weeks, he instinctively took a step back before regaining his composure and entering the apartment. Arthur looked exhausted, not angry, not even particularly sad, just…tired. Dark circles prominent under his eyes and hair that looked like it hadn’t seen a brush in days. Arthur turned his back and let himself drop down on his sofa without saying a word. He didn’t have to say anything, Charles thought, his voicemail and the look on his face now said more than any profanities he could dish out. So, Charles sat down across from him and started talking. This time, it would be nothing but the unvarnished truth.  
 “Arthur, I need you to understand that I never intended for this to happen. I’m here now to tell you that I’m sorry, and you didn’t deserve any of this. I tried my best to protect you, but it feels like with every choice I made, everything got a thousand times worse and-” 
 “Do you love her?” Arthur interrupted while finally looking his brother in the eye. Charles was taken aback by his question, but he answered quickly, and from the heart. 
 “Yes” 
 Arthur nodded like he already knew that was going to be the answer. 
 “I was awake the entire night thinking about what I would do if I saw you. I thought about yelling, punching, pushing, but I can’t get myself to do any of that, because I don’t feel…angry. It’s just the thought of you lying to me and hiding things, not telling her about my feelings and getting her to keep your…relationship a secret. She would have told me otherwise you know, that’s what she said yesterday. When she said that I knew…I knew that even if you hadn’t been there she would never see me like I see her, or…saw her, I don’t even know how I feel to be honest” Arthur said softly as he ran his hand through his hair, further adding to his distraught appearance, before he continued. 
 “There was never any doubt in her mind, not a single moment of hesitation. She even looked forward to telling me she said, she thought I would be happy about you and her together”
Charles could see tears starting to form in Arthur's now. God, he wished he would stop making people cry.  
 “Arthur, I didn’t mean for it to end up like it did. I just, she showed up because she had locked herself out and…I don’t know, it’s like that night, I saw her for the first time. Nothing was the same after that” Charles struggled to put into words exactly how she made him feel. 
 “Now that I finally have my answer after all those years, it feels almost…freeing in a way. For the entire time that I’ve known Y/N I never gave another girl the time of day. She was there for me when dad…” Charles cast his eyes to the ground as Arthur mentioned their father. 
“I think I clung to her so badly because I was scared, scared of losing something else that felt like home. Maybe I confused that fear with romantic love, I don’t know” 
 It’s silent for a few minutes. Charles doesn’t know what else to say. He doesn’t want to keep apologizing, knowing that eventually it would cause the words to lose their meaning and sincerity. 
 “I’m going to need…time. I’ll get there, I- It’ll just take a while” Arthur stated. Charles could see in his eyes that he was at peace, and he recognised the feeling as he took in his little brother. Knowing that this moment would cement itself into your life as a turning point, that there would be ‘before’ and ‘after’. He’d had many of those moments in his own life by now. 
Before and after getting in a kart for the first time, before and after getting the news that he made it to F1, before and after Jules and Antoine. 
Before and after her. 
These are moments that shape you, change you, and it's up to you if it’s for the better…or for the worse. Arthur was good, and smart, and Charles knew he would find a way to find the good in this. He always did, even when they were kids, it was one of the things Charles learned from his little brother. 
 “I’m proud of you, the man you’ve become, and I know our father is too” Charles said as he got up and made his way back to the door. He thought about hugging his brother, but decided against it. He would give him the time he needed, and before long, things would be okay again. Different from how they were. Different, but not worse, never worse. 
 // 
 //Touching her was like realizing all you ever wanted
  Was right there in front of you
  Memorizing her was as easy as knowing all the words
  To your old favorite song // 
 It was getting dark. 
 That was the only indication Charles had to know how long he’d been standing here. His phone had died on the way here, because of course it had. He debated making a detour to his apartment and charging it, but the idea of waiting any longer than he already had seemed ridiculous. She was in Monaco, that much he knew from religiously checking her social media ever since he left her here. Just to make sure she’s okay, ofcourse. Not to…fall asleep looking at her pictures, pictures where she’s smiling so wide it made every sunset seem colorless, no that would just be…creepy, right? She had to come home at some point, Charles thought as he leaned his back against her front door. She would come home and he would be here, waiting.
 The sun was completely gone now, the only trace of it being the warm glow that sat just above sea level. In a final act of desperation, Charles got up and leaned his forehead to the door, like that would somehow prompt it to open on its own. The sound of keys jingling made him snap up so fast he stumbled back a few steps. A middle aged lady made her way from her car to the house next to the one he was standing at, and Charles tried to hide his disappointment as he threw her a polite ‘goodnight’. The woman smiled back, and kept her eyes on him, as if she was examining him, trying to figure out his motive. Before she stepped inside, she turned to him. 
 “She’s out, I think” 
 “What?” Charles replied. He felt as if she was talking to him through a fishbowl, spending the last couple of hours in silence only concentrating on what it would be like to lay his eyes on Y/N again. 
 “Earlier I saw her leave, she often takes long walks during sunset, I don’t know where exactly though” she smiled fondly. Charles thanked her as she disappeared into her house. 
If he had done things right the first time around, he would have known she likes to take long evening walks, but he didn’t, and now her neighbor knows more about her than he does. 
He knows it’s stupid to feel jealousy towards a nice woman who just happens to live next to the girl he loves, but he couldn’t help it. 
He wanted to know every one of her quirks and odd habits, things that she didn’t even notice about herself. 
He wanted to absorb them, store them so deep into his heart that he would remember them until his very last breath. 
Still standing in the same spot, Charles decides he needs to start walking. In his head, he tries to list all the spots in Monaco that give you a nice view of the sunset, but it’s only as he rounds a corner and sees the lights of the harbor in the distance that he knows where she might be. 
Every single time they had sat at his piano together, she’d said it was her favorite, and that even though Charles’ view was impressive, it was no match for the one you’d see if you followed a small trail up the hillside. He remembers how he’d focused on her hands as she pointed it out, sitting behind his piano, and made a joke about it being a crime that he didn’t know about it as a local. There is a pang in his chest as the mental image of her and the piano take center stage in Charles’ mind, the same one he’d felt every time he’d seen the piano in his apartment from the corner of his eyes. He hadn’t as much as looked at it since last month, let alone play it. 
There was a determination in the way he was walking now, fueled by the feeling that he finally had an end goal in mind as opposed to just wandering around aimlessly. 
 As he made his way up the trail, he had to admit he was feeling less sure than he had fifteen minutes ago. He’s almost there and had barely run into anybody except a jogger and an old man walking his dog. It was dark, and pretty dangerous with the many rocks that littered the path. He made a mental note to resist the urge to tell her that she really should be careful coming up here this late, because he wasn’t exactly in a position to tell her what to do. Not ever, but especially not now. It came from a deep rooted desire to keep her safe, protect her. It was ironic really, that the only person she had actually needed to be protected from was him. 
 The lights of the harbor came into view as the path gave way to a small viewpoint with a single wooden bench at the center of it. 
It was her. He could tell immediately that it was her, her hair flowing in the breeze as she sat on the bench with her back to him. He took a few seconds to take in the sight in front of him, not ready to disrupt her peaceful silence just yet, but he had to. He had to make it right. There had been a voice of reason inside his mind all day that said that even if she couldn’t forgive him, couldn’t love him back, he could say his apologies and leave her be. But seeing her now, he knew that he would drop down on his knees and beg her if that meant he had a fighting chance. 
 “Y/N” 
 “What the fu- Charles?! Jesus you can’t sneak up on people like that. You scared me, I-” Y/N said as she jumped up in surprise. 
 “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to-” Charles said softly as he tentatively took a few steps towards her. 
“I just had to find you, I was waiting at your house for…hours and then your nice neighbor came home and said you’d gone for an evening walk, and I thought that was so strange because here I was standing at your door like an idiot, you know? Because I didn’t know you like to take evening walks, so…so I started walking and then I saw the boats and I remembered that time you said you liked this lookout and-” 
 “Charles” Y/N interrupted. “Breathe, okay?” 
 “Yes…yes, okay” He wanted to slap himself in the face after the embarrassing word vomit that he’d just muttered, as if he hadn’t just spent hours going over everything he would say when he saw her again. 
 “I just, I can’t believe you’re not angry and…screaming, or trying to throw me off of this cliff or something, feels like I deserve it” 
 “Yeah , you kind of do actually” she said as she turned her back to him and sat down on the bench once more. 
 “Can I?” he asked as he approached her and pointed toward the empty space next to her. She nodded, keeping her eyes fixed on the view and not him. 
 “I know you probably hate me right now, and I don’t blame you, but it would mean everything if you would listen to what I have to say”
After a few moments pass, Charles decides to take her silence as a sign of agreement, and he continues. 
 “As you know by now, Arthur has… or had, I’m not sure, this…crush on you. He’s had it since we were all just kids, and he never really mentioned acting on it up until a few months ago. I knew, and I should have told you before we…got involved last summer. I should have been honest, and I don’t think I’ll ever forgive myself for keeping you both in the dark” Charles tried his best to understand the look on Y/N’s face as she still wouldn’t meet his eyes, but he couldn’t. She didn’t look angry, or even sad, just contemplating, as if she had already made up her mind about how this would end. It scared Charles. 
 “I’m not afraid to admit that the night you showed up at my apartment drenched in rain, having all of your attention for the first time, I put myself first. It was selfish, I know that, but I just couldn’t…get myself to stay away from you. You wanted to be around me, and I was making you laugh, and I just couldn’t bring myself to stop doing that, I couldn’t” 
 Finally, she turned her head so she was facing him, and spoke up for what felt like the first time in forever. 
 “I could never hate you, Charles. I tried, after…but it was no use. The more I tried to forget about you the more you would haunt me. It’s kind of a relief seeing you in the flesh again, maybe that way I can stop seeing you in everything else” 
 Charles could feel tears pricking at the corners of his eyes, and he had to stop himself from letting out a breath of relief that he had been holding in for what felt like forever. 
 “You should have just told me, you should have told Arthur, instead of leaving it to us to piece together the reason for your actions, instead of making me feel like…like I was a mistake, something you regretted. Do you have any idea how that felt?” 
 “No, no I don’t…and trust me when I say that I have never regretted anything more than walking out of your door that day, when all I wanted to do was hold you and tell you that I…that-”
The words got stuck in his throat somewhere, and Charles could feel that familiar pressure building in his chest. It was now or never, he had to tell her everything he felt, or this feeling would never go away. 
 “but I could never regret you, Y/N, never. I was an idiot thinking that I had to choose between you and Arthur, and I would do everything differently if I could go back in time.Everything, except you. Everything except last summer
I wish I could tell you what you are to me, but it’s difficult to…find the words, I…the way I feel when I think about you, when I see you, It feels too big for my body, like I’m too…small to comprehend what it means or something”  
It was Charles who turned to look out over the harbor this time, as if the view would give him the words he was looking for. 
 “My heart is so full of you that it…it doesn’t even feel like my own anymore” he said before locking eyes with Y/N once again. 
 “I don’t need you to say it back, if you can’t…I’ll understand, but I need you to accept that this is how I feel, I need you to know”  Charles could feel a tear rolling over his cheek, but he didn’t even bother trying to hide it this time. Suddenly, he felt Y/N’s hand on his cheek, softly pressing her thumb on the wetness that had gathered there. 
 “Can you stop crying so I can kiss you already?” Y/N said so timidly that Charles doubted if she’d even said it at all. 
He was completely dumbfounded, after spending so long convincing himself that she hated him and that even if she forgave him, she would likely never want to speak to him again. 
The idea of getting to kiss her again was so alien to him that when she leaned in and pressed her lips to his softly, he felt like he had forgotten how to kiss entirely. 
She broke the kiss, but leaned her forehead against his. Charles doesn’t know how long they sat there like that, it couldn’t have been more than a minute or two, but it felt like it was happening in slow motion for Charles as the reality of the situation sank in. 
 And when it did, there was no stopping him. He grabbed the back of her neck as he pulled her in once more, finally connecting their lips the way he wanted to. 
The way she wanted him too. 
The realization made the pressure in Charles’ chest finally die down, now replaced by a tingling warmth that he hadn’t felt since last summer.
As his tongue made its way into her mouth, warm and inviting just like he remembered, he felt her hands make their way into his hair. 
They kissed like that for so long Charles could feel his breath running out and his neck straining once they stopped. It didn’t matter though, because he would sit on this bench for the entire night if she wanted him to. 
Eventually, they got up and made their way back towards the city. As they passed the big rocks on the path, Charles told her she had to be careful coming here in the dark anyway, and she laughed, and Charles felt like he might burst with happiness. 
Entering his apartment, it felt like home again. He’d spent his last few times here so desperately hiding from his memories that Charles had almost forgotten the feeling. It felt like home, because she was there with him, and that was all he needed. 
 // 
 When Charles opened his eyes the next morning, he was alone. It took a few minutes for him to realize that last night wasn’t a dream, and that he shouldn’t be alone in his bed right now. 
Panic set in quickly as he scrambled out of bed and threw on his clothes from last night, half ready to chase Y/N down the street if he had to, but once he’d made it to the living room, he stopped dead in his tracks.  
She was sitting at the piano again, looking like the most beautiful thing he’d ever seen, the sunlight illuminating her skin, bite marks visible on her neck that reminded him of the way they’d made love for hours last night, on the couch first, then in the shower, and again on the bed later because neither of them could fall asleep without doing it again. 
God, he could look at her forever if she’d let him. 
For the first time in a long time, Charles felt completely whole and content, no guilt, no emptiness, no more ifs and mights, only the feeling of hope and all-consuming love remaining. 
 “wanna join me?” Y/N asked when she noticed him. 
 “Always” he smiled. 
 // 'Cause loving her was red
   Yeah, yeah, red
   We're burning red //

Idk if you read Lore Olympus but chapter 129 gave me an angsty request idea.
So Persephone, who’s the goddess of spring, goes into a hibernation-like state and when her emotions go out of control, she ends up growing her hair really long and her body sprouts a lot of plants from her; to the point of covering her and whatever area she’s in with her plants.
So I would like to request head cannons of the Brothers reacting to an MC who gets really sad whenever the brothers insult or threaten them and after several weeks of being berated by demons it causes MC to shut down and go to their room but mistakes a comfort spell with a plant curse that causes their hair and plants to grow continuously long. The plants fill up MC’s room and while they would normally be surprised at the mistake, they don’t care any more. They allow the plants to to grow, even wrap around their neck and body, and hopes the curse kills them off before the brothers notice as they go in the “hibernation” stage of the curse (The curse causes the victim to grow a lot of plants and vines from their body until they die, which can take a few days).
I’m sorry for being so long and descriptive, I just wanna see the Bros panic and feel guilty that MC felt pushed to do this to themselves but I understand if you don’t want to do it
I don't read Lore Olympus but you described the situation really well so I hope this is something close to what you wanted.
Comfort spell gone wrong
Lately, nothing seemed to be good enough for the demons. No matter what you did one of them would find something to berate you for.
“Mc, your grades are subpar even for an exchange student. You’ll have to try harder in order to not be a disappointment to Diavolo and myself.” Lucifer warned over breakfast.
“Mc, you burned dinner. You should learn to be a better cook.” Beel grumbled. As if you had ever seen any of these ingredients before ending up in the Devildom.
Even Mammon seemed to be in a particularly unpleasant mood. A never-ending string of complaints about how hard it is to protect an ordinary human. “Geez, you’re such a hassle human.”
Taking refuge in the library to study and to give Mammon a break from you proved disastrous and nearly deadly. Somehow you’d managed to spill your cup of tea all over an old somewhat rare text after Asmo had barged in and startled you. Your string of bad luck continued when Satan rounded the corner and saw the soggy tea-stained pages you’d been trying to decipher. In his fit of rage, he’d called you several unpleasant names and asked if you were “capable of doing anything right or if all humans are as stupid as you?” You’d left as quickly as you were able to avoid any more of his wrath.
No matter where you went you kept walking in on Belphie napping and without fail he’d say something nasty to you, that would make tears burn the backs of your eyes.
Levi had angrily called you a “useless normie,” who he wished would “never come back.” and had pushed you from his room with a slam of his door.
Even Asmo who usually just ignored you when he was upset found every reason imaginable to critique your every aspect. Physical and personality. Not a single one of which made you feel any more than worthless.
So was it any wonder when at the end of a long week you’d locked yourself in your room and decided to try that comfort spell you’d heard Solomon talking about? It seemed simple enough. But then your tears had blurred your vision as you’d recited the words and your Latin was still shaky at best. But it was just a few lines! And there was no way you were going to go to one of the brothers for comfort when they had seemed perfectly happy to make you miserable for the last few weeks.
You’d read the spell aloud and curled up hoping that the spell would kick in and you’d feel even just the slightest bit better. The blinding green light and sudden drop in energy was the first and only warning the spell had gone wrong. But being new to magic meant it still sapped your energy, so you didn’t stop to think something might be wrong. By the time you realized what was happening, everything was out of control. Plants had begun to sprout from your skin and the floor around you, growing and growing. With each inch they grew you felt your exhaustion creep up and consume you. You were just so tired. Your eyes fluttered closed. This was wrong! You forced your eyes open again. You need to fix this. The spell! But a short nap wouldn’t hurt, would it? You’d have more energy after you woke up. Then you could go get one of the brothers. Satan would know how to fix this. Or Lucifer! He’d clean the spell up easily. Yes, after you woke up…
Lucifer hadn’t seen you all weekend. He figures you’re most likely studying. But you don’t show up for meals and none of his brothers have seen you either… and oh Diavolo! He can feel the spell from the dining room. How did he not notice sooner? The cold pulling sensation of the spell, like it was sucking the warmth and life from its surroundings.
When Lucifer reaches your door Mammon is already there. Knocking and shouting for you, but there's no answer. He all but breaks your door down, his brothers behind him, and finds you at the center of the spell. Unresponsive and covered in the plants using your energy to grow. The plants had begun climbing up the walls and twisting through your hair, sending out snow-white flowers.
“Beel! Don’t!” Lucifer warns as Beel reaches out to pull a handful of plants from you. “We don’t know what did this and what will happen to Mc if we just rip the spell off like that.”
“Lucifer, Mc did this to themself,” Satan points to the open spellbook. “It looks like they got a comfort spell mixed up.”
Fortunately, your last tired thoughts were correct and Lucifer is able to break the spell quickly. You wake surrounded by the brothers.
Lucifer:
All this happened for a comfort spell? Because you didn’t feel like you could come to him, to any of them?
He’s so sorry Mc. Enough that as he leans down to pick you up out of the mess of withering plants you can feel tears fall onto your face.
“Nothing I did was good enough for you Lucifer. Any of you. I just wanted to feel… I just wanted-”
His heart breaks when he realizes this is his brother’s fault, his fault. “You are always good enough, Mc. Much more than I could ever ask you to be, and if I ever made you feel like you weren't. No, the fact that I made you feel like you weren’t, means I have been truly terrible.”
You’re choking back your own tears now and you curl further into his arms as he carries you down the hall. “You said I was a disappointment.”
“My dear Mc, you have never been, nor could you ever be a disappointment to me. Forgive me for ever making you feel as if you were.”
Lucifer takes you to his bathroom and draws you a bath to wash away the last of the plant matter from your body.
Afterward, he’ll bring you anything you ask for. He wants to wrap you in his arms but doesn’t want to push you, so he asks softly if he can hold you.
He’ll spend weeks trying to make this up to you, even after you forgive him, he’ll be sure to tell you how much he loves you more often than he did before.
Mammon:
Shit human! Why didn’t you come to him? He loves you so much and oh. He made you feel like a burden.
How could he be so stupid when he knows how his brothers make him feel?
Mammon begs for your forgiveness in front of all his brothers.
“Please can ya forgive me? I never meant to make ya feel like a burden. You're the only human I- I want to protect you Mc. I’m so sorry.”
Mammon helps you up and since your room is covered in plants he offers to let you sleep in his room for the night.
He wraps you in blankets and brushes the hair from your face with trembling fingertips.
There are still a few stubborn leaves sticking to your face and in your hair so Mammon takes a warm washcloth and wipes them from your face before gently untangling the plants from your hair.
You’ll be getting little gifts and tokens of mammon’s affections for the foreseeable future.
Levi:
He threw you out of his room when you came to him for comfort and the guilt at seeing you almost die because of it is eating him alive.
He feels frozen
Maybe you would be better off without an otaku shut-in like him. He starts avoiding you like the plague.
You start to think that Levi is so disgusted with the fact that you did that spell that he doesn’t want anything to do with you anymore.
Despite this Levi still checks up on you. He wants to know that you are ok, he just does it without you knowing.
He’ll ask his brothers about you and discreetly glance at you during meals to make sure you’re eating enough and look healthy.
A few days later when your favorite and manga anime start showing up outside your door you confront Levi. “Are you mad at me? Do you just not want to be around me after what happened? Levi, I miss you!”
He is shook, and he can’t believe he messed up so badly.
He’s happy that he can invite you to hang out again, and he makes sure to spend long nights gaming or watching movies with you until you fall asleep against him. He’ll even stutter out how much he treasures his time with you, blushing fiercely all the while.
Satan:
Satan feels anger swell up inside him. How could he have let this happen? How could no one have seen how upset you were?
Once the spell has been dissolved he is at your side instantly. Brushing vines from your skin. His fingers are shaking in anger but his touch is so gentle.
When both you and your room are cleaned up Satan sits at your bedside, book in hand, reading to you.
He just wants to be close to you now. He wants you to know how much he cares about you but is still too worked up to get his thoughts out properly.
Eventually, his thoughts calm and he stops reading in the middle of a sentence. “Mc, I am so sorry. I never meant to make you feel unwanted. Every day I spend with you is infinitely better than a day without you. I know the spell was a mistake but… we almost lost you. I almost lost you.”
He wants to talk about what pushed you to do this. He won’t push but he really does think that he will be better able to help you if he understands.
Satan makes sure to spend more time with you from now on. He makes a conscious effort to check his temper at the door and be with you when you need him.
Sometimes he’ll just read to you until one of you confides in the other in quiet voices.
Asmo:
As you blink your eyes open Asmo gently brushes some plants from your cheek.
You are so pale and his heart breaks as you flinch away from him. You feel like a mess and you know you must look like one too so curl your body away from him trying to hide. Trying to avoid his critical gaze.
This is the moment Asmo knows he screwed up.
He draws his hand back, for a moment, before reaching out to you again. Cupping your cheek and wiping your tears away with perfectly manicured hands.
Lucifer has him take you to his bathroom to clean up while the rest of the brothers work to clear the plants from your room.
Asmo is quiet for a long while as he untangles plants from your hair.
“You’re so loved, Mc,” he says softly. “You are.” he insists when you shake your head no.
“More than you could ever know, and it’s our fault for not telling you. My fault for not making you feel worthy.”
After this incident, Asmo wants to make sure you know how beautiful you are. He starts self-care days once a week that soon turn into whole family affairs. Each week different combinations of his brother attend and you all work to pamper each other.
Asmo makes sure nothing like this happens again, he never wants to be part of the reason you feel unloved ever again.
Beel:
At first, Beel thinks you did this on purpose. Once the brothers realize you messed up the spell he is less angry but no less distraught.
Once you wake up, he wants to take you to get desserts. He’s heard humans eat Chocolate/ other sweets to feel better. And this makes sense to him, food does make everything better.
But you don’t want to go to Madam Screams or the kitchen to make your own. You’re still so tired. Not to mention embarrassed that you screwed the spell up this bad.
And now they are all staring at you like they care so much when none of them had any time to notice how they were making you feel before.
When you become unresponsive to the brother’s questions and apologies Beel scoops you up in his arms and walks away with you.
Something about the way he holds you close to his chest and his warmth causes you to finally let go.
You bury your face in his shirt to muffle your crying.
“I just… I felt so alone! And… I...but no one” you gasp out shakily between sobs.
Beel soothes you with soft murmuring as he gently cards his fingers through your hair and strokes down your back.
Once your crying quiets he starts to speak “Don’t do that again. You can always come to me Mc. I’m so sorry you felt like you couldn’t”
Belphie:
Belphie thinks it’s a joke at first. “Man, how could they mess up this bad?”
Then he sees Lucifer’s panicked expression and it hits him how serious this is.
Belphie is immediately by your side. Hands frantically feeling your wrist for a pulse.
After Lucifer breaks the spell and your eyes flutter open Belphie is filled with relief until a wave of guilt washes through him.
He can’t believe he fucked up so badly again. Sure this time he didn’t directly cause you physical harm, but he did play a role in causing you to almost die again.
“I am so very sorry Mc, I never meant to hurt you.”
He does everything he can think of to make it up to you. Anything you ask him for, as long as it’s within his power, is yours. No questions asked.
He asks permission just to hold your hand for weeks afterward as if he thinks you’ll come to your senses and decide you don’t want anything to do with him.
He wants to comfort you so bad.
To make sure you don’t feel like this again Belphie pulls you away to nap with him as often as he can get away with it. Most likely only a few times a week (much less often than he would like). Sometimes he uses this time just to talk with you. Others you really do nap, and Belphie curls himself around you. Occasionally he enters your dreams while you nap together to make sure no nightmares can touch you.

Ok so you made a list on they guys toxic traits. How would they react if the MC just snaped one day and broke out into sob because of what they did and say to them and the MC calls them out on it pointed put how Diavolo doesn't do or say the shit they do and hes full blood demon unlike them all in a croaked voice from crying so hard
Tumblr media
React to MC Calling Them Out on Their Toxicity
Obey Me Brothers x MC angst HCs
Warnings: Yelling, toxic relationships, breakdowns, violence, Mammon being the guardian he was assigned to be :)
Summary: When MC finally breaks down and calls them out on their toxic behavior towards the human the boys finally realize just how different human emotions are from the creatures in hell they’ve grown so accustomed to.
I’m putting the contents of the original post this ask referred to under each of the characters to make it clearer for those who have not seen it
Tumblr media
i know Lucifer is hot sexy big sex dominant professional daddy master man BUT please remember he shows his love via punishment and cruelty towards his family
- Lucifer was in the middle of hanging a crying Mammon upside down when it happened.
- “He’s in pain Lucifer, you should let him down! There are better ways to handle this,” MC had suggested only to be met with a low growl followed by:
- “Stay out of this, human, you are here to attend RAD and nothing else. Do not butt into our personal business.”
- He could practically feel MC’s upset expression as he continued to tie the knots around Mammon’s body
- “I’m a human, correct,” MC starts and he’s startled by their cold voice, “but what makes me human is my inability to stand by while someone I know is in so much pain!”
- Lucifer is a bit taken back by their boldness and is in his demon form holding them up by the throat in seconds.
- “Who the Hell do you think you are?!” He snarled, tightening his grip and pushing their struggling body against the wall harshly, causing their head to bounce off the wall with a loud thump, blood slowly beginning to trickle from the sight of the impact 
- He could barely hear Mammon’s frantic cries for him to let go of the human as his adrenaline rushed, unable to believe that the human had actually spoken to him like that,
- He was suddenly ripped away from MC, thrown across the room and he looked up to see Diavolo had come
- “I had some paperwork I wanted to give you but instead walked in on you taking advantage of your strength over someone smaller than you, you’re pathetic,” Diavolo snarled, disgusted by Lucifer’s actions
- MC wailed and threw themselves against Diavolo, him tightly embracing them and trying to soothe them
- “Y-y-you’re the Lord of Demons and yet,” they sniffled and hiccupped into Diavolo’s chest as he continued to glare at Lucifer, who could only watch on in despair as he realized what he had done, “and yet you a-are so mu-uch kinder than them, th-thank you Diavolo!”
- “Wait, MC! I’m sorry!” Lucifer began to stand before realizing Mammon had managed to escape and was now holding him down, preventing him form moving toward the trembling human.
- “Lucifer... I don’t want to see you ever again!” MC had cried as Diavolo and them left the house.
- After MC was brought to the demon lord’s castle he received word from Barbatos that he had been suspended from his duties until further notice per the request of Diavolo.
- Barbatos also collected MC’s stuff, moving it to the Demon Lord’s castle where they would spend the rest of the year
- Lucifer couldn’t bring himself to leave his room, afraid of his brothers’ judgmental looks, he refused to see how much he had hurt the family and the relationship with the human he’d done so much to care for in just a matter of thirty seconds.
- Lucifer never forgives himself for hurting MC, but he acts like he was in the right for the sake of his ego.
- But he really missed MC and was angry with himself for letting them go so easily and for not just accepting that maybe they were right and he could change for them
- Everyone notices a decrease in the cruelty he showed towards his brothers
- how did a human manage to stir up these feelings within him?
Tumblr media
I know Mammon is an adorable tsundere with a chaotic streak BUT please remember he also insults MC in order to keep up his own self image of being a “tough demon” even if he loves MC underneath the mask
- Mammon had been on his way back from getting scolded for stealing from Lucifer’s wallet once again, when he ran into MC
- “Mammon! What’s wrong? Are you Okay?!” He hastily wiped the tears from his face, MC really cares about me... a blush rises to his cheeks at that thought
- “Nothin’ is wrong, mind yer business,” he shoves past them
- “but you’re clearly hurting, Mammon let me help!”
- “I don’t need help from a stupid human,” he says, not turning to look at them due to his still red cheeks as he continued to be flustered by their concern for him 
- “Stupid human....” he heard MC say quietly back to themselves, his heart sinking as he realized he said it so harshly 
- “Hold on-MC- I didn-” he starts but is frozen in shock as he sees the human glaring at the floor with tears streaming down their cheeks, biting their lips to keep sobs trapped inside themselves. “MC, hey liste-” He reaches out to touch their shoulder but they jerk away turning from him.
- “Not even the demon who is meant to be the cruelest of them all calls me names for wanting to help him,” their voice trembled and his heart broke, “I just wanted to help... why do you insist on insulting me?” 
- MC ran away from him, leaving the house, passing Asmo and Satan as they left.
- Satan chased after MC as Asmodeus walked up to Mammon, slapping him across the face harshly, “why can’t you just be honest with them for once?! Don’t you realize how badly you’ve been hurting them because you refuse to be nice to stroke your own ‘bad boy’ ego?!”
- Mammon stared at the floor, tears rolling down his cheeks silently, “I-I didn’t mean to hurt them,”
- “But you did. Not to mention you never even apologize for it,” Asmodeus walks away, leaving Mammon to stand alone, shamefully hanging his head as he fell to his knees.
- The one person who ever cared about him and he did nothing but insult them and yet still expected them to love him? What a douchebag he was...
- Guess he was nothing but a greedy scumbag
Tumblr media
i know Levi is a cute blushy otaku recluse that we all want to top BUT he also gets jealous very easily which leads to him often getting violent or guilt tripping MC by insulting himself until they feel guilty and stay with him to make him feel better despite their own wishes
- Leviathan had jus ordered a new game titled “I just landed in Hell, seven hot demon lords are my roommates and I’m trying really hard not to fuck them”
- He rushed towards MC’s room, desperate for them to play with him 
- He walked in without knocking and saw MC cuddled up with Mammon and Beel, watching some movie that none of them seemed to actually pay attention to as they just horsed around.
- “Hey, MC! I just got a new game, come on let’s go play it!” he tried not to let his jealousy show. 
- “Ah, maybe later Levi, I’m hanging out with Beel and Mammon right now!” MC smiles kindly, to which he grows a bit sad
- “I get it... who would want to hangout with a yucky otaku like me anyway...” he lowers his head pouting
- “Levi, just give me a few minutes to finish the movie!” MC says, still trying to be kind and patient
- “No you don’t have to... I’m just going to go play alone like the loser I am...”
- “DON’T” MC stands up, Beel and Mammon watching as MC walks up to Levi, thinking that the human was going to go with him and play
- Levi smiles thinking the same thing and gets ready to leave, but instead MC comes to him and glares at him, making his heart sink
- “You do NOT get to guilt trip me like that,” MC growls, “I told you I need a minute, I never said any of that stuff and I KNOW you were saying that stuff just to get me to come with you instead of staying here,” Levi blushes as MC calls him out, his heart beating rapidly with nerves as he realizes just how mad MC was at him
- MC pushes him out of their room, slamming the door and he hears them mumbling some angry stuff to the other two brothers behind the door
- Ashamed of himself he goes back to his room and locks himself there for a few weeks, kind of waiting for MC to come check on him and apologize, but then he realizes that is exactly why they are mad at him, so he decides to try and get his shit together
- But his anxiety gets in the way and he decides MC would be better off without him and he tries to avoid them no matter how much he craves their attention
Tumblr media
i know Satan is an intelligent man who is trying his best to keep his anger in check at all times BUT if you are in a relationship where someone is getting mad at you constantly despite their efforts pls look out for yourself and let yourself be selfish and avoid the person no matter how bad it may hurt them because your own happiness should come first
- After a fight with Lucifer, Satan had gone to his room to blow off some steam
- He was storming around and throwing things and throwing a temper tantrum
- MC came to check on him and they knocked politely, calling his name and asking if they could come in
- Despite using their manners and being as respectful as possible; their interruption of his tantrum pissed him the hell off
- He swung the door open and pushed them down, eyeing them like a normal demon would; nothing but an innocent soul to munch on
- MC tried to escape but he caught their ankle, and dangled them like a rag doll as his claws sunk into the limb he held
- He could see their mouth moving and tears streaming down their face but he couldn’t process the words they were wailing
- He only stopped when Mammon punched him harshly, causing him to drop the human and go flying through the nearest wall, which happened to be Asmodeus’s, who was infuriated by the destruction of his room, but his focus immediately turned to Mammon and the trembling human he held
- Satan could barely hear or see much of anything anymore as Mammon’s punch had knocked him nearly out-cold
- Later when his senses came back he went to MC to apologize
- When he walked in they screamed and cowered in the corner.
- “MC, I won’t hurt you I promise-”
- “You always say that! You promised to never hurt me, Satan! All I wanted was to see if you wanted anything to help you calm down but you decided that was reason enough to try and eat my soul. For fuck’s sake, Diavolo is the Demon Lord and he isn’t half as cruel and manipulative as you are!” He watched the human tremble and cry their response out
- The loud noises had once again caught the attention of the humans guardian for their time in the Devildom
- Mammon walked in and grabbed Satan by the collar, dragging him out the door and slamming it behind him
- Satan sat against the wall and could hear how much pain MC was in as they cried to Mammon and he wanted nothing more than to run in there and take his place but he knew he had royally fucked up
- Scared of his own anger, he decided to not leave his room unless he was attending RAD, family meals, or the Library, because he was so afraid of making the human he had loved afraid and he didn’t want them to feel so much pain just by seeing him
Tumblr media
i know Asmodeus is a cute feminine boy with a love for self care and pampering and fashion BUT he always be littles others for not being as good or pretty as him and is super gossipy
- MC had come to school after a sleepover with Asmo, where things got deep and emotional and MC’s most shameful secret was revealed to him
- and he said he wouldn’t tell anybody. he really wasn’t going to but...
- MC noticed the weird stares followed by giggles of the succubi at RAD, clearly whispering about MC which made their stomach feel sick
- MC wasn’t sure what the deal was today until a succubus came up to them at lunch,
- “hey human, i heard that *insert your most humiliating memory*” she snickers with her friends, watching mc turn pale
- Unable to form words MC bolted out of there
- Unluckily for Asmodeus, MC just do happened to run into him
- “Ah! MC, dear, be careful or you and I will both ends up bruised-“ he’s cut off by a slapping sound
- he’s in so much shock he doesn’t even realize MC had slapped him for a few seconds
- “I should’ve known better than to trust you with my secrets.” MC growled, turning around to storm off, “Guess I forgot you were a demon. No, demons are like Diavolo, they at least have some itty bit of kindness in their hearts. You. You’re a monster.”
- Asmo watched them storm off and felt tears come to his eyes
- They were right, for once he had someone who loved him for more than power, looks, and sex, and what did he do? He hurt them and destroyed their reputation.
- He eventually fell off of his skincare routine and stopped coming home every night, instead, he was too busy partying and passing out in strangers’ beds and being glad the demons and succubi who dances with him and slept with him didn’t care for his personality
- cuz he knew his personality was the one part of him that was ugly as hell and he hated it 
Tumblr media
i know Beelzebub is a gentle giant who cares for his entire family BUT he also throws tantrums that hurt people when he gets hungry and isn’t given food asap
- After his sports practice, he was starving and on edge
- He hungrily eyed a strangers’ meal as he and MC walked home from the campus
- “Beel, don’t even think about stealing that poor demon’s food,” MC scolded him, unknowingly lighting a fuse inside of him
- He shifted to his demon form and grabbed MC by the shoulders harshly
- “Well what else am I supposed to eat?! Do you want me to eat you?!” He shook them, making them whimper out in pain as his claws dug into their flesh
- “B-Beel, you’re hurting me!” MC cried out, but he was too hungry to care and leaned in, about to take a bite out of the poor human before he felt himself get pulled away and pin against the ground
- “Beelzebub, just what in the Devildom do you think you’re doing?” Lucifer’s chilling voice snarled at his younger brother, a crowd forming to watch the two demon lords fight
- “I’m HUNGRY!” Beelzebub went to strike Lucifer, but instead, MC being MC, grabbed his arm to try and stop him, causing him to fling them against the wall, them hitting it with a loud cracking sound, blood pouring out from the back of their head as they rubbed it
- Seeing them bleed made him more hungry but then he saw the look of despair and disappointment that he had seen on his younger sister so many years ago and he snapped out of it
- “MC!” Lucifer rushed to the human’s side, picking them up gently and giving Beel one last cold look before flying off quickly to the Demon Lord’s castle, where Barbatos would be able to heal MC
- Beelzebub felt his hunger dissipate, instead, the guilt eating away at him as the sight of MC’s despair filled eyes flashed through his head 
- When MC returned later that night he went to apologize when he heard them in the kitchen
- “MC,” they flinched and whipped around, immediately using one hand to grip their head as dizziness struck them for a moment, the other hand out in front of them in a defensive manner
- Beel’s heart broke and he felt tears starting to form as he started to approach them, intending to hug them comfortingly
- “STAY RIGHT THERE!” MC yelled, their pact forcing his feet to stay planted where they were
- “Y-you don’t have to apologize okay? I should have known better than to scold a monster,” he winced at the word but let them continue, “But that said it isn’t entirely my fault. Every other demon in that plaza could smell me and didn’t pounce me, they had better control than that. Even when I go out alone nobody attacks me! Hell, even the Demon Lord himself isn’t cruel enough to attack me I-I just, please, stay away from me Beel,” and when they looked up he had tears streaming down his face and he was biting his lips to keep from crying
- As badly as they wanted to comfort the crying boy, they knew that they would be putting their own safety at risk if they were to forgive him and make him think he would be so easily forgiven
- Beelzebub suddenly started to stop feeling hungry as every time his stomach growled all he could see was the image of himself about to bite into MC and he would start to feel sick to his stomach
- He doesn’t forgive himself and gets really depressed because he thinks MC’s pain is his fault just like Lilith’s death
Tumblr media
i know Belphegor is a sleepy baby with a love for pranks and mischief BUT he literally killed MC but as soon as he found out they were a descendant of his little sister he suddenly just flipped a switch and didn’t even really apologize
- MC was sleeping in the attic next to Belphegor, tossing and turning as a nightmare filled their head
- They could practically feel his claws wrapped around their frail neck snapping it and laughing as they faded from their body
- MC sat up panting and screaming, Belphegor waking up and rubbing his eyes sleepily as he wrapped his arms around MC
- “NO NO NO GET OFF OF ME STOP IT” they continued to scream, flailing around in his embrace, he refused to let go though, convinced they just needed a hug to comfort them from whatever had scared them so bad
- They began to sob hysterically, their voice screaming out for Mammon
- Panicking he continued to hold them in place, afraid if he let go they’d sprint off
- and he was right, they bit his arm and he pulled away as they stood up and sprinted down the hall
- “MC WAIT” he chased after them, worried they’d get hurt
- As they saw the door of their guardian (Mammon), they called out his name
- Belphegor placed a hand over their mouth, worried about the others waking up, but it was too late as Mammon and Satan had both been woken by the cries of the human
- “HELP ME MAMMON PLEASE” MC sobbed, Belphegor sending a panicked and hurt look to his brothers
- Mammon pushed Belphie away as he took MC back into his room to calm them down
- After a mini-argument with Satan that ended up getting shut down by Lucifer, he went back to bed 
- The next morning he saw MC was sitting at the breakfast table and he smiled at them, only to watch them shoot a look to Mammon, who then pulled their chair closer to his own protectively
- They all ate in silence, the awkward and tense atmosphere keeping anybody from starting a conversation
- After everyone else left he went up to MC and cornered them, covering their mouth to keep them quiet so he could say what he needed to
- “I already apologized for everything so why do you still need to freak out whenever you see me?!” he asked, annoyed that despite his apology for killing MC, they still felt uncomfortable around him
- They slapped his hand away, “You didn’t really apologize. You only apologized because I’m a descendant of your dead sister, you didn’t apologize to me, MC, you apologized to Lilith,” MC shoves him and starts to walk away from the stunned demon
- “Its kind of funny that despite all the problems I’ve caused for his program, Diavolo has never tried to kill me.” MC says before finally making their exit
- Belphegor gets lost in his own thoughts after that, as he finally realized that he had been seeing them as a replacement Lilith rather than themselves
- even if he wanted to try apologizing again, he was unable to as Mammon became more and more protective of them, shooing Belphie away with dirty looks anytime they were in the same room

All slashers with a S/O who counts on their fingers:
For @iloveslasher ;) since asked! idk when I’ll open my requests (inbox)
Warnings: teasing, some cuteness, lots of confusion, referring to Pennywise as “they”, ooc Doom Head
I’ll probably forget some since I’ve got lots on my list :,)
It’s the longest thing I’ve ever written!
I’m SO, SO sorry it took me so long D:
Sorry if I made some mistakes or missed some things!
Michael Myers
He probably doesn’t even see it at first, not until he sees you at the table with a sheet full of your month expenses and your fingers moving up and down while you look down at the scribbled numbers.
If he cares, he sure doesn’t show it. He’ll just look at you from the doorway and maybe tilt his head before walking away. If you do that again though, he’ll stare at you and wait until you notice him before he walks over and finally understands that you’re just counting, which makes him almost facepalm.
I don’t think he ever did it, and he never will.
Jason Voorheese
The first time he’ll see you counting will probably make him smile as you’re looking at the ceiling, your lips moving a little as you put your fingers up then back down.
He did that when he was a kid and still does it sometimes, but only rarely though! So he understands how it can help you and will only smile whenever he sees you doing that. He finds it so cute coming from you! He’s happy he isn’t the only one who did and does that.
He’ll be less self conscious to do that because you do it.
Charles Lee Ray/Chucky
He’ll laugh when he sees you focused on something and moving your fingers, a shit-eating grin on his face. “What tf are you doing?”
If he startles you he’ll laugh even more as you try to explain it helps you counting. He’ll then tease you about it, seeming like a big meany, when he‘s just really curious ,even if he would never dare admit it.
When you see him at the kitchen table trying to count while moving his fingers, don’t tell him you saw. He’s got too much pride to be caught doing something so “stupid” like he told you when he saw you at first.
Tiffany Valentine
You’ll probably laugh at how big her smile will become when she sees you. She’ll probably squeal like a fangirl too.
What can she say? It’s so cute! So whenever she sees you, she’ll hug you from behind and if she sees that you lost your count, she’ll feel guilty and help you count back, trying the trick with her fingers.
If we’re talking about your concentrated face as you do that, oh boyy.. She will stare at you with a smile on her face, but will look away when you’re about to catch her. She’ll try it behind your back one time, but won’t really do it after.
Brahms Heelshire
He’s really happy when he sees you doing it. You count on your fingers?! He does that too!
He’ll help you if you need some help and will compliment you and tell you about how you’re twinsies for doing that.
Everything you do is cute (y/n)... So be prepared for him to be amazed by your cuteness, even if like I said multiples times earlier, he does that too.
He’s pretty childish though, so he might tease you when he’s feeling like it. Don’t hesitate to tell him if he offends you or if he’s being a brat, he’ll immediately stop.
If you’re too concentrated, he WILL try to make you pay more attention to him.
Freddy Krueger
Wanna talk about teasing? He’s going to tease the HELL out of you when he sees you. He’ll act confused, even a little disgusted as he call out your childish behaviour, but it’s all obviously a big joke to him.
If you’re offended, he’ll just laugh in your face and roll his eyes, smirking if you frown or become mad at him.
He’ll be so smug as he looks at you deep in thoughts, your fingers moving as you try to keep count of whatever you’re counting, before he scares the bejesus outta you.
He’ll probably try it once and like it, which will result in him doing it without you noticing.
Thomas Hewitt
If he comes up and sees you sitting at the table, your fingers moving up and down as you’re trying to count whatever you’re counting, he’ll be curious.
He knows you’re counting, he just didn’t thought you would do it like that! When he was younger, he used to do that to help himself too.
He’ll probably sit and watch you for some time, a small smile on his face. If he distracts you, he’ll feel so sorry! He’ll fidget and probably get up to get back down, but if you stop him he’ll stay reluctantly.
Bubba Sawyer
What?? What are you doing??
He’s clueless at first and only watches, his eyes following the movement of your fingers before they stray to your concentrated face as he tries to be quiet.
Lots of happy noises and cute babbles when you tell him it’s to help you count. He never really had to count, but he did it sometimes too! He definitely will always do that now<3
If his brothers make fun of it, he won’t hesitate to let them know his mind with the threat of a hammer.
Nubbins Sawyer (since I count him as a slasher)
When he sees you, he’ll tilt his head and come closer, sitting beside you and trying to keep silent to not make you loose your counting.
He can take the guess that you’re counting, he probably knows it, but he finds it cute that you do it with your fingers.
He’ll probably goofs about it, doing the same as you do whenever he needs to count, even if it’s to count to three.
Prepare yourself for some camera flashes! He will shamelessly try to capture you in pictures and put them on his wall, and he’ll talk about it like it’s normal if you ask him hehe
Chop Top Sawyer
He’s like his twin, but even more goofier.
But he’s a nuisance too.
When he sees you counting, he won’t even think about it and make you loose your count, then he will apologies and try to hug you even if you don’t want to. He feels bad!
Definitely trying, though. More to make you laugh and joke than to really count <3
ChromeSkull/Jesse Cromeans
It couldn’t be funnier to see his massive frame stop in the doorway, his eyes fixated on your smaller form as you’re trying to count something. He’ll only stare at you, like Michael, but will probably go see what you’re doing.
Whenever you do that, he’s going to tease you to hell and back, but it’s only because he finds you really cute!
His smoll S/O is counting on their fingers! Aww!
It’s only playfully though, he doesn’t (kinda does) wants to be mean or anything.
He doesn’t do that, but doesn’t have anything against it so he’ll try.
The Collector/Asa Emory
Oh... Okay?
He’s probably the one that acts the most normal about it at first. Like, you do you.
He sure will find it childish and a little bit funny, but he won’t say anything about it.
After that, there’s two ways it can go, one: he can go in with his day and just forget about it or two: he can just stare and silently wonder how cute it is you’re doing that.
He doesn’t do it, but he might try ONE time, feeling like it’s kind of ridiculous.
Pin Head
He won’t see you and won’t say anything about it— Or maybe he will, you never know what this guy will say or sees.
He’ll probably lift one of his non existent brows and will go away, leaving you to count. If you see him, he’ll maybe say something or like I said just go away without a word.
He doesn’t have time for this, so he probably won’t try.
Doom Head
As soon as his eyes land on you, a grin will escape him.
He’ll definitely distract you, chuckling if you become mad. But he’ll tickle you to make you forget about it! Even if you’re not ticklish.
He might cuddle for some time with you if you’re mad enough, reluctantly as he would seem grumpy.
He won’t try, but he’s got nothing against watching you.
Carry White(NEW!)
She’ll be the normal one probably, smiling if she sees you at first.
She’ll let you do it, and might even try it if you feel insecure about that^^
Scratch that, she WILL do it.
She’s SO nice about it too🥺!
CandyMan
A deep chuckle will escape him when he sees you sitting, your fingers moving as you look deep in thoughts. He might even try to capture this moment with a little sketch!
He’ll look at you lovingly as you pout your lips as they move, your brows furrowing as you finish counting.
If you’re not finished and you see him, he’ll only shake his head and murmur a “don’t mind me” with one of his charming smiles.
He’ll try counting on his fingers if it makes you happy!
The Creeper
What...??
Super confused at first, until he hears you mumbling some numbers.
After that, he finds it really cute like most of the slashers <3 he’ll definitely tease you about it with some purrs in between, just to make you loose what you were counting and pay attention to him. He might feel a little left out if you take too long.
You want some help? He’ll just pop up randomly and start counting with you, a little smirk as he counts on his fingers too.
Jig Saw/John Kramer
He’ll chuckle at first, seeing you so concentrated with your back to him.
He’ll watch you for some time, but he’ll sit beside you and probably will help you if you need some help.
He’s got nothing against trying, if it makes you happy<3
Amanda Young
She’ll just smile when sees you, walking back towards what she’s doing if she’s doing anything. If not, she’ll just watch you and wait for you to finish.
She’ll make some comments here and then, but she isn’t mean about it.
Probably tries!
Mark Hoffman
Okay, first thing... why can’t you use the calculator before you?
Well, he’ll smile tho when he sees you so concentrated bit won’t bother you. He’ll make some small comments that you probably won’t put together, but he won’t say much about it.
He won’t try, maybe just one tiny time.
Poly!Ghostface/Billy&Stu
Billy will be more chill about it, but Stu will try not to giggle to loud as he stops him in the doorway, his hands on his face.
It’s cute! It reminds him too much of a kid<3 you’re precious
The two of them will laugh/chuckle when they see you’ve caught them, but they won’t look away and Stu will even ask if you need some help!
They will both try, but Billy prefers sticking to paper.
Norman Bates
He’ll be kind of confused for 1 second, just to realize when he hears your small mutters.
“O-Oh! You’re counting? Let me help you!-“
Even if you tell him you don’t need help, he’ll insist and you two will probably be counting on your fingers, even if he prefers paper. His mother might say it’s too childish, but he won’t even care.
He’ll try it, but only when he’s with you.
Otis Driftwood
He’ll be hella confused, maybe chuckle a bit.
“You back in kindergarten or something?”
If you’re downstairs and Baby is near, she’ll smack the back of his head and send him a little glare.
Immediately feels bad if he sees you slouching! He’ll give you a head pat or a hug, trying to not seem too lovey-dovey.
When you’re alone together, he’ll probably tell you he didn’t mean it in a bad way.
He won’t really try it, except if you really want him to,
Captain Spaulding
Of course he’ll probably laugh at first when he sees you.
“What the hell are you doing?”
If he scares you, he’ll feel a little bad and ask the same thing, a small smile on his face.
When you tell him, he’ll laugh like it a joke, but stops once he sees you aren’t laughing.
Why... Why are you counting like that?? How can that help you??
He’s confused, but he’ll still smile and joke a lot about it if he sees he made you sad or feel insecure.
He’ll definitely try!
Vincent Sinclair
He acts pretty normal about it, if as-soon as-he-sees-you-he-tries-to-capture-the-moment counts as normal. But if somewhere throughout your relationship you’ve made comments about him not taking moments out of sketches, he’ll just stare in awe.
He sure does find it kind of funny tho!
He’ll look at you and smile softly behind his mask, blushing madly and turning away if he sees you’ve caught him.
He’s the first to try it, but he’ll do shyly<3
Bo Sinclair
When he sees you, he’ll do some jokes about it and tease you, because we all know that he’s the Queen of teasing (😂)
But seriously tho, it’s just because he finds you really cute. Like, who does that anymore?? He did that when he was a kid!
He’ll tell you it’s childish and all, but you might catch him trying to count on his fingers at the end of the day
Jack Torrance
That’s cute! He’ll definitely smirk each time he sees you doing that.
He’ll act goofy about it... But it’s just to hide the fact that Danny did that.
If you ever tell him that because you see through him, he’ll probably just frown or have a full breakdown while hugging you tight. Just don’t talk about that when he’s finished...
He might try, but probably only to be funny.
Art The Clown
He obviously won’t say anything about it and watch you, mimicking you for fun and grinning as soon as you see him.
If he’s in the mood, he might sit beside you and count on his fingers too, for what? We’ll never know.
He acts like it’s one of the cutest things, you might even see him framing his face with his hands, or maybe you won’t if he wants to be sneaky.
Is it a question? He’ll definitely do that now!
Pennywise(1990/2017)
What are you doing, human?
IT will be the only one who doesn’t understand one bit, having no idea what tf you would do that for.
They will just tilt their head, maybe try it^^
But they’re definitely the one who made fun of you for it, kinda playfully
Leslie Vernon
He’ll stop what he’s doing just to watch you, a smile on his face. But when you’ll look towards him, you’ll see him looking at his things like nothing happened 👀
He’s so sneaky about it you won’t even notice each time he’s looking at you.
It might slip sometime later tho, he’ll tell you with a big goofy smile before acting shocked and smirking at your face.
He’ll try!
Leprechaun/Lubdan
This guy will smirk about it, probably will scare you with a little magic too.
If you loose your count, he’ll have it counted in one second, so please try not kill him 😂
He honestly finds it really cute, not that he would say it (except if you’re cuddling he might hehe)
He’s got nothing against trying it, but he’ll probably be really confused.
The Moaner/Billy Lenz
He does it mostly all the time, but he’ll still tilt his head when he sees you sitting peacefully, a piece of papier and a pencil before you as you’re concentrated on counting.
If he’s feeling it today, he might just sit and stare at you, or he’ll mumble some filthy words under his breath as he bounces his leg, random impatience going through him.
If you see him and try to tell him he’s distracting you, then he’ll be even more of a nuisance
Or he’ll simply just walk away with a blank face, so please consider your options carefully, because that’s not a good sign.
You should probably pay attention to him if you don’t want something in the house broken tho, what do you need counting for anyway?
The Man(Hush)
He finds it funny at first, but he’ll still watch you silently, he might even scare you, like he’ll just sneak and jump before you to make you loose your count
He’ll have a good laugh, but after that he’ll apologies and give you kisses before he sits down and continue to watch you. He won’t do anything after that until you’re finished.
He’ll try! He’ll say he feels silly, but he just finds it cute hehe
Mayor Buckman
Aww! Cute^
As soon as he sees you, he’ll stop what he’s doing and a smile will appear on his face as he watches you so focused in what you’re doing. When he’ll ask you why, his smile becomes bigger and a chuckle might escape him.
He’ll let you do it, might even try it^^ but he’ll insist that you ask him for help whenever you want to count, because he doesn’t want you to take too long.
Herbert West(Dk if he’s a slasher but hehe)
He probably never saw it since he’s so into his work, but he’ll frown when he sees you.
What are you doing? It’s so childish!
Personally, he’s got nothing against counting on your fingers, but he’ll still wonder why?? Why can’t you just use your head??
He’ll be confused even if you say it helps you.
He won’t try.
Patrick Bateman
He might just stare at you blankly or make a “supposed to be funny” comment about it, even though he finds it kinda.. cute
He’s got other things to do, but if you ask him, because he won’t do it if you don’t, he might try counting on his fingers, or maybe he’ll just say an excuse because he don’t want to.
But other than that, yes he might try, just might.

s/o has freshly shaved legs. [2]
Tumblr media
A/n: requested by anon, teehee. thank you!! also, not genshin related, but I just saw levi in the new season and whew, he could STILL get it if he asked :) also, to my readers out there, when I bring up “shoulder rides”, I know some some people may not feel comfortable with that (which is okay!), I didn’t type that to not include everyone, that’s why I wrote “he’s going to give you shoulder rides if you feel comfortable.” key word is comfortable, you guys can imagine this scene or not, it’s intended to not exclude anyone, despite size, etc. I only bring this up because I know a lot of readers may feel left out, but by insinuating comfortable, you’re free to imagine this or not! I hope I made sense/wasn’t rude <3 ;-; happy reading!!
Summary: s/o has freshly shaved legs.
Parings: Diluc/Reader, Xiao/Reader, Childe/Reader (all fem reader)
Warnings: swearing, nsfw themes implied, fluff?, crack
Word count: 1.5k
Tumblr media
Diluc
Tumblr media
Diluc is a pure GENTLEMAN, so he feels very guilty ogling at your legs
he’s drawn in because of how smooth and buttery (probably some lotion or oil he assumed) they look
eventually, after becoming embarrassed for staring, he’ll find the will to stop
after all, he’s a GENTLEMAN
but that doesn’t mean the thought of your legs leaves his mind, you’re dead fucking wrong
he can’t stop thinking about how soft they looked
if only he could reach out and touch you, just once, just for a second
goodness, he hates the way he feels and surprisingly, when Kaeya stops by the winery for his daily drink, diluc may or may not confide in his friend, brother, 
poor diluc, he’s too respectable and truly thinks it’s WRONG
“why can’t I stop staring at her legs?” he will mutter more to himself. “I feel disgusting.”
“well, she’s hot for one-”
poor Diluc, Kaeya is NO help, he only wants to flirt with you
Kaeya will continue to apologize and make cocky comments, but in the end he reassures it’s natural for lovers to feel this way
poor Diluc part 2
let's just say when he returns late in the dead of the night he refuses to even look at you
he’s so disturbed, poor boy, you’re probably his first s/o and he feels dirty for thinking lewdly about you from just seeing your thighs
he dips to your room so fast, he just wants to sleep it off
You were shocked, to say the least when he didn’t give you his usual hug and kiss on your cheek. Maybe he had a long day? That’s usually always the reason. But even then, before he retired for bed, he made sure to show some kind of affection. 
“Diluc, sweetheart, where are you going?” You called after him, ignoring how the servants kept trying to grab his jacket and hang it on one of the coat racks; he was having none of it.
“Bed.”
“Oh okay, wait, we can walk up together-” He was gone from sight. You sighed in annoyance, you disliked when he became distant. Nonetheless, you dismissed the three servants for the night and began traveling to your room.
Eventually, you arrived in your bedroom to find Diluc laying on the bed, clothes from today still on, as well as his boots. You clicked your tongue. Did he have to wear his boots in your bed? 
“Not even your boots are off?” You had said, shuffling around the bed to tug your lover's shoes off. He heard you grunt, seemingly having trouble with the simple task. 
In the meantime, he had taken notice of how you had shrugged off your robe and it was somewhere else in the room, leaving you only in a simple cotton nightgown. It wasn’t revealing at all, simple and classy how he liked it, but god damn it your legs were exposed.
A simple nightgown, that’s all it was, but why couldn’t it reach your ankles? No-he should not have such standards for you, especially when you’re comfortable. Why did he have to be so lewd...
“Was today a hard day? I didn’t see you after you left the winery earlier... Is everything okay?”
“Yeah.” He huffed, you mocked him, sitting next to him on the bed, eyeing him carefully. You shifted and although it wasn’t meant to reveal any more skin, the movement had... 
“I’m not a very good mind reader, so you’re going to have to tell me if somethings wrong-”
“Please don’t sit like that...”
“Like what? This is a normal sitting position.”
“Yes but...” He’d huffed again. You knew Diluc well enough to know that he wouldn’t say anything else, it seemed he was already having trouble enough.
“Are you being a horndog?” 
“A what- I’m sorry who are you?” He teased, though utterly confused. “You’ve been hanging out with Aether too much.”
“It’s okay, I saw you staring earlier. I don’t mind.”
poor Diluc
Diluc.exe has stopped working
he can’t believe he was stupid enough to stare AND get caught doing so
you’ll simply just respond by saying, “It’s okay, Diluc. I don’t mind, it makes me feel attractive. At least I’m doing something right.”
lol, it doesn’t matter though, he’s a blushing mess 
all he can think is that he’s better than kaeya, he has standards for himself, staring at a woman's thighs is NOT respectable
even if you’re his fiancee
Xiao
Tumblr media
says he doesn’t care when you show him how smooth your legs are
ARGUES and SASSES you when you say you know he’s entranced 
he continues to say no
well guess what, he’s a stone-cold liar
he’ll probably stare once or twice, but otherwise won’t let you distract him
instead, he’ll touch your legs in private (as long as it’s okay with you)
he claims he doesn’t care, but he enjoys how soft they are
like wow
never in his life did he think someone could be so soft
all he wants to do is touch your legs, but sadly he has his duties
I think he’d be the type to touch your calves when in bed (just laying, pls no sexy times)
like when you’re both getting ready for bed, he’ll guide your leg to lay over his waist so it’s sorta hooked around him, and he’ll just rub your calves pls
he likes giving you a massage, it's his way of showing physical affection
and although it does lull you to sleep, the gesture is also comforting for him too
he loves your soft legs
pls don’t ever stop shaving as long as you’re comfortable (he loves you with shaved legs or not)
he may or may not become a little baby if he can’t touch your soft legs
like he’s not gonna shed tears
but, he’s gonna be BITTER AF
SALTY, is the right word
You just wanted to get up to use the bathroom, hell you were gonna pee your pants. But Xiao would not let go. Unfortunately, he’s a light sleeper, so he felt you shifting in the bed when you went to get up. 
“Don’t leave.” He whispered. 
“I have to pee, Xiao.” You said, guiding his prying hands away from your leg. 
“Your legs, soft. Please sleep,” He muttered incoherently, smoothing a calloused palm over your thigh. 
You frowned at the black and teal haired man. “I’m legit going to pee myself if you don’t let go.”
He didn’t answer. In conclusion, he’d fallen back asleep.
Childe
Tumblr media
you knew better than to wear skirts, dresses; anything that revealed your legs
or else you’d be the subject of your boyfriend’s comments and staring
this was your own doing, childe thought, your fault
when he’s caught staring by you or anyone, he doesn’t care
as long as you’re comfortable, he doesn’t care that he stares at your legs
some of the elders around Liyue Harbor will scold him for his rudeness, calling him inappropriate
they dislike him so much, not all, but a good handful
but he DOES NOT CARE 
as long as you’re comfortable, he’ll continue to stare as long as he’d like
yes, even if he’s a perverted horndog, he’s still a respectable perverted horndog, he’s going to make sure you’re okay with everything he does/says
pls, he’s going to give you shoulder rides if you feel comfortable, just to nuzzle his cheeks into your inner thighs
and he’ll run his hands over smooth knees
he LIVES for your smooth legs, also just wanna say he doesn’t mind if you haven’t shaved your legs either, you’re gorgeous either way 
he’s the ultimate horndog and does not try to hide it, like Diluc and Xiao
he’s like Kaeya, but let’s be real he’s not going to try and fit every flirtatious comment into EVERY sentence like him
he’s more of a physical guy ;)
he’s going to leave lingering touches on your legs, pinch them teasingly, do whatever as long as he gets to touch them
just gonna say this, but kisses on smooth thighs? muah, he does this and has zero shame
not even during sexy times, he’ll do it if he’s laying his head on your legs and they happen to be exposed
he does not care, he can do whatever he wants, this is his way of showing his affection towards you
“You’re going to suffocate! Get your head out from between my thighs,” You scolded the orange-haired man. He chuckled, giving you very nonchalant vibes.
It was getting harder and harder to ignore the passersby’s stares, why did they have to be so nosy? Well... this wasn’t necessarily something everyone wanted to see, even if it was entirely innocent, it did look highly inappropriate. 
“Plus we’re in public, Childe!” You noted. 
“Please, who cares!” He taunted, nuzzling his head even further. Your face flushed hot. 
“Your legs are soft.”
“Yes, but do you have to do it like that? This looks wrong-”
As I said, he does not care!!

Hellooo I love your writing soooo much >>•<<
Could you please write headcanons of ASL sister introducing Smoker as her fiancé ? Thank you so much !
[One Piece Headcanons] ASL Brothers -> when you introduce Smoker as your fiancé
Characters: Ace, Sabo, Luffy, Smoker
Tags: female reader, overprotective brothers
Author's Note: Thank you for the cute request! I got carried away and added short scenarios for each brother's reaction and a little extra at the end. I hope you like it! 💖
PORTGAS D. ACE
Goes from 😯 to 😡 to 🤬
Ace.exe has stopped working.
He's the 2nd Division Commander of the esteemed Whitebeard Pirates; who in their right mind would think it would be a good idea for him — the son of the late Pirate King — to meet a Marine Vice-Admiral?
Cue war flashbacks of when Garp showered him, Luffy, and Sabo with his "fists of love" for sharing their childhood dreams of becoming pirates.
Goes through all seven stages of grief and complains to Sabo every single time.
Threatens Smoker every chance he gets. The Marine Vice-Admiral repays in kind when you're not around.
Doesn't warm up to the idea of you and Smoker as a couple except on your wedding day.
"Behave yourself," you whisper to your fiancé, soft hands tightly gripping his muscular bicep in warning.
"I'm on my best behavior. It's your brother who needs to behave," Smoker says bluntly, brown eyes observing the freckled pirate's reaction to you and your beau's interlocked arms.
Ace stares, and stares, and stares — at his little sister and the familiar white-haired man he encountered early on during his journey to Alabasta — dumbfounded at the scene before him.
"Fire Fist," the Marine Vice-Admiral calls out, breaking him from his reverie.
"You—" Ace yells, flames erupting from the tips of his fingers to rapidly engulf his entire first.
Before your fiancé can return your fiery brother's sudden display of aggression, you step in between their bodies, eyes alight with fury.
"Stop it!" you scold Ace, extending your pointer finger and thumb to pinch his ear in retaliation.
He frowns at you, but obliges, flames extinguishing from his curled fist. "We need to talk. Now."
Not waiting for your response, Ace saunters off toward his bedroom at the other end of the hallway, posture stiff and robotic. To anyone, outsider or not, it was evident from Ace's appearance and demeanor that the usually friendly pirate was clearly not in a good mood.
"Just wait here. I won't be long," you say to Smoker before dashing off in pursuit of your freckled brother.
When you close the door to his bedroom, Ace begins his tirade, arms crossed against his bare chest as he faces your more petite frame.
"What the hell do you think you're doing?"
You look at him in bewilderment but don't say a word, waiting for him to elaborate.
"Him! That—that big oaf! There are millions of men in this world! And it has to be him? I don't approve!" Ace doesn't stop himself from frantically gesturing at the closed door — the only piece of barrier, aside from him, of course — separating you from your fiancé.
You frown at Ace's insult, adopting a defensive stance. "Don't call him that! And I don't need your permission, you know. Why are you acting like this?"
"You're my little sister! Of course, I'm concerned!" Ace adjusts himself from the desk he was leaning on. "Do you know what he's done to Luffy?"
You shakily exhale at his accusatory tone. "I know! We've talked about this. He's promised to look the other way when it comes to our family."
"And you believe him?"
"Of course, I do! He hasn't given me any reason to doubt him."
"He's not exactly husband material," Ace interjects, to which you roll your eyes. At this point, it was apparent to you that your big brother was grasping at straws, finding reasons — however shallow they may be — to make you reconsider this marriage.
"He dresses better than you, that's for sure," you say childishly.
Ace's eyebrows furrow, taking great offense to your statement. "What's wrong with the way I dress?"
"Have you seen yourself? You're always strutting around like you own the place. Shirtless and all," you comment, scrunching up your nose in disgust. "Have some common decency at least."
"He's not wearing a shirt either!" Ace says indignantly.
"No, but he has a jacket—"
"That he leaves open all the time, which basically makes it useless," Ace argues, "Why bother if you're not even gonna wear it properly?"
"Argh, forget it. I don't want to talk about this anymore," you say, burying your face in your hands.
Ace takes the hint, feeling guilty as he walks over to your defeated form to rub circles on your back slowly.
A truce, for now.
- - - - - - - - - -
Sometime later, when you return from Ace's bedroom, you find your fiancé calmly sitting on the corner of the couch. Without a word, you plop down beside him and rest your head on the crook of his shoulder.
Smoker takes a deep drag of his cigars, observing your distraught appearance and the lack of a certain cowboy-hat-wearing pirate. "Well, that went well."
SABO
Goes from 😟 to 😩 to 😭
Dies a little bit on the inside.
His precious little sister finally finds love, and who's her betrothed? The infamous White Hunter himself.
He expected this behavior from Ace, but you?
Discreetly pulls you aside to express his disapproval.
Learns to cope and eventually warms up to your relationship with the Marine. How can he not when you look so happy?
De-escalates arguments between Ace and your lover every single time.
"Sabo!" You pull your big brother into an embrace which he reciprocates.
When the blond Revolutionary notices the white-haired man standing behind you, he stiffens, gloved hand reaching behind his back to clasp his metal pipe.
Noticing your older brother's sudden alertness, you nudge his side in reassurance. "This is the fiancé I've been telling you about."
Sabo quickly puts two and two together. All those conversations you've had with him, and not once did you mention that you were engaged to an officer of the Marines. And not just any Marine officer, you were engaged to the Commander of the notorious G-5 base.
In an effort to remain composed, Sabo forces a half-hearted smile — appearing more like a grimace really, but an action you appreciated nonetheless - and extends his right arm to your fiancé for a handshake.
"Nice to meet you."
Ignoring the daggers you were glaring at the side of his face, Smoker hesitantly grips the blond Revolutionary's hand. "Pleasure," he grunts out, letting out a puff of white smoke from his cigars.
For a moment, the two men clasp at each other's hand in a show of fake camaraderie.
Choosing to ignore the growing tension thick in the air, you clap your hands together in mock enthusiasm.
"Great! Let's meet the rest of the family, shall we?"
MONKEY D. LUFFY
Goes from 😁 to 😊 to 🥳
The only one who's okay with your relationship with Smoker.
He's survived having Garp, the Hero of the Marines, as his grandfather; he can certainly handle an additional Marine in the family.
Gets along with your fiancé the best, though Smoker himself denies this.
"Woah, what's Smokey doing here?" Luffy says in awe, looking back and forth between you and the Marine.
You tap your feet in nervousness, gesturing between Smoker and your youngest brother.
"Luffy, this is my fiancé. Smoker, this is my little brother."
"I know who Straw Hat Luffy is," Smoker says impatiently, barely glancing at the pirate standing a few feet in front of him.
"You haven't been formally introduced to each other, have you?" you say indignantly, hips cocked to one side as you stare at your fiancé's tepid behavior.
"In a normal setting, I mean," you clarify, "You chasing him and his crew does NOT count."
Smoker shrugs at your accusation, and you sigh.
Luffy laughs at your scolding, looking up at the Marine. "It's okay. I meant what I said in Alabasta. I don't hate you, y'know?"
You smile at your little brother's statement. You could always count on Luffy to be accepting of your partner, whoever they may be. Also, he wasn't the type to dwell on the past, preferring instead to live in the moment. And that moment was your engagement to the Marine Vice-Admiral, the same man who used to hunt Luffy and his crew throughout the Grand Line for being wanted criminals.
'Tsk' is all Smoker says to the straw hat pirate's proclamation, earning a disapproving pinch to his side from you.
"Be nice," you whisper harshly to your fiancé's ear.
The sound of your little brother's joyous laughter is enough for the normally serious Marine to let out a small smile.
BONUS BELOW LMAO
MONKEY D. GARP
Goes from 😌 to 🥰 to 🤗
T H R I L L E D that his grandson-in-law is a respectable Marine.
The epitome of Proud Father Figure™
Compares the ASL brothers to Smoker every chance he gets during family reunions.
"Y'hear that Luffy? Smoker just caught a band of no-good pirates terrorizing the local townsfolk." Luffy picks his nose in acknowledgment.
Garp points an accusatory finger at Ace. "You damn brat, why couldn't you listen to me and become a Marine like I told you to?"
Garp gives a disapproving glare to Sabo. "And you! Why'd you have to join the shady Revolutionaries and become a wanted criminal like my son?"
Garp proceeds to give the ASL brothers multiple rounds of his fists of love. Meanwhile, he smooches your forehead in happiness for finding a suitable husband.
You and Smoker live happily ever after. The end.

That Other Girl (Thomas Shelby x Reader) [Part 3/3]
Part 1 | Part 2
Warnings: swearing
Word Count: 2,244
It had been a week since your argument with Tommy, and you hated admitting it, but you missed him. As much as Tommy was a busy man, and a lot of your time spent with him involved him doing some sort of work while you kept him company, you still spent every day together, and this was the longest you’d ever been without speaking to each other throughout your 6 year relationship, and it was hitting you hard. You found that time moved extremely slow, and seeing as you weren’t on good terms with Tommy, you didn’t really get the chance to hang around the Shelby household, so the loneliness was starting to become overbearing.
You decided to distract yourself by going back in to work at the Garrison, and as much as you would have liked to avoid Grace and Tommy for as long as possible, you still had bills to pay and didn’t like the idea of the customers you’d grown to know over the years, getting used to Grace and you not being there. She had already turned Tommy into an idiot, you weren’t going to let her stop your earnings as well.
You walked into the Garrison to find Harry behind the bar polishing the glasses, Grace nowhere to be seen. 
“Well look who it is” Harry smiled at you, “ready to get back to work eh?”
You couldn’t help the smile forming on your face as you’d missed Harry and work
“You bet I am, my ankle’s not all there yet but I’ll take it easy”
You joined him behind the bar and started sorting out the liquor bottles that were all over the place from the previous night. You had been working for about half an hour when the door to the Garrison opened and Grace walked in, her eyes going solemn as she spotted you.
“You’re back to work I see” she spoke, tying her apron and joining you behind the bar
You wanted to pull her hair out, but you figured it wasn’t her fault Tommy had taken an interest to her, especially as she’s knew to Birmingham and might not have known of your relationship, but you still didn’t like her as you couldn’t shake off your suspicions of her having something to do with that  copper
“Yes I am, slowly trying to get back into it, my ankle really screwed with the balance of things”, you could tell she wasn’t really paying attention to you.
“Thomas talked about you, you know?”, you went rigid at the sound of Tommy’s name, especially coming from her mouth, “He hasn’t been doing good without you, shows up every evening and drinks bottle after bottle. Had to lock him out once, he almost broke the door down” she rolled her eyes at the thought.
You felt worry creep up inside your veins, as angry as you were at Tommy, you still cared for him and couldn’t find it within you to throw away years of your feelings from him because of your argument, but when you looked up from the bottle you were holding, at Grace, the worry seemed to fade away as you realised he had just been spending time with her while you hadn’t heard from him
“He tell you what happened?” You asked, wanting to know just how much he might’ve shared
“No he didn’t tell me anything, just said you two had a fight, lots of rambling about how he was gonna lose you, how he fucked up. I felt sorry for him but then I figured I don’t know what he did, and maybe he deserves whatever’s going through his head”
You nodded slowly at her words
“He came by a lot when you were out with your ankle”
“What did you talk about?” You had assumed that if Tommy refused to tell you, maybe she would
“About life I guess, I’d tell him about my life back in Ireland and he’d tell me about all sorts, ranting about work, his brothers, nightmares” she replied, “he spoke a bit about you, your family” she stated the last part with an edge of disgust, you sat in silence, lost in her words, “I don’t think you’re good for him”, you snapped out of your daze.
“Excuse me?” You asked, astonished
“You and your little posh family, you’re not like him, your roots are different and I can tell he’s getting tired of it.” You almost had to hold your jaw shut  to stop it from dropping to the floor. What was it with people bringing up your family? You had been in Birmingham for years, and most people wouldn’t be able to tell you were any different from those born and raised in the city, if not for your slightly differing accent. 
You were frustrated she brought up your family as Tommy had yesterday, but then it clicked that she must’ve been the one to feed him all those ideas about you being some posh brat while Tommy was shit-faced drunk, and you were pissed. Not only at her, but at Tommy as well for being stupid enough to even acknowledge anything she said about you
“Listen here you freak”, you glared at her “I don’t know what you’re doing in this city, and why you think you have the right to speak on who I am and my relationship, but you best believe I will find out, and when I do, I’ll have no issue kicking you out myself. First out of my bar, and then out of my fuckin’ city, you hear me? I’d kick you out right now if I could” you spat.
Grace stood there silent, and you returned to sorting out the bottles, trying to control your anger and not knock Grace out with a bottle of very expensive whiskey
Tumblr media
You had decided you’d had enough of being lonely, and dragged John out of the house to go to the new museum that had opened a few weeks back. John wasn’t thrilled, museums not being his thing, but he was happy to spend time with you, cracking his highly inappropriate jokes every 2 seconds.
“Tommy’s been doing horrible you know that angel?” 
You couldn’t help but scoff at his words
“Please no Tommy talk for today, I just want to enjoy the museum.” You tried to brush him off, but you couldn’t help but worry for Tommy.
You were strolling around the museum, John’s arm lazily thrown over your shoulder, looking at different paintings and sculptures, when you spotted a familiar head of blonde hair in front of you, standing next to a man. You quickly pushed John behind the wall next to you, and slightly peaked your head out to spy on her
“Psst, John, who’s that man standing next to Grace?” You had never seen him before, and your first thought was her father, but then you remembered what she told you about him
John peaked his head out above you, and squinted his eyes to get a better look at the man, who as if on queue turned his head back to look around the museum suspiciously, as though he was searching the area, forcing you and John to quickly fall back behind the wall to hide yourselves
“Holy shit” John whispered, taking his hat off and running his fingers through his hair, his expression a mix of being deep in thought, and being dumbfounded
“What? What is it John?” You asked, eyes jumping all over his face trying to make sense of the situation
“That’s the copper. Campbell.” 
Tumblr media
You were sitting next to John at a family meeting, Tommy’s eyes boring into you as you avoided his gaze. It was the first time you’d seen him since your argument, as he’d seemingly been avoiding the Garrison, and consequentially, you. You were feeling a bit better about the whole situation now that your suspicions had been confirmed, but you weren’t quite ready to confront Tommy about it. 
The meeting went on for a little over an hour, Tommy groggily heading it. Just as everyone was about to leave, seeing as the meeting had come to an end, John spoke up
“Y/N was right” 
Everyone looked between you and John, confused
“Grace is working with Campbell.”
You saw Polly’s smug expression from the corner of your eye. Of course she knew
“What? How do you know?” Arthur asked, Tommy was still silent, a dazed look on his face
“We were at the museum”, you saw a spark of hurt in Tommy’s eyes at the mention of you and John going somewhere together while you had been away from each other, “and we saw her talking to the copper, they were all suspicious and everything Arthur, you had to have seen them, looking around the place like a pair of guilty kids hiding from their ma” John scoffed “I’m regretting giving her all those tips now...” You smacked his arm
Everyone awkwardly stared at Tommy, but his eyes were locked onto yours
Tumblr media
It was the middle of the night when you suddenly heard banging on your front door, waking you up from your peaceful slumber. You groggily trudged towards the door, as you rubbed your eyes to try and keep yourself awake, however all the energy seemed to rush back into your body when you opened the door and saw Tommy standing outside, his tired blue eyes piercing into your y/e/c ones.
“Can I come in?” He croaked out
You didn’t know if it was the hour of the night, or the sight of him, tired, at the door, but you didn’t have it in you to send him away, so you stepped to the side to let him in, his eyes roaming over your apartment as though he was there for the first time, even though it was basically his second home.
“Would you like some tea?” You asked, worried he might be cold from standing outside
“Yes please”
You led him to your kitchen where he sat on one of your dining room chairs, you noticed he sat in the same one he always sits in, right opposite the stove, so he could watch you cook. You boiled the tea in silence, before pouring it into the mug he had brought over once and never taken back. It was a simple white mug that Finn had scribbled on with crayon when he was smaller, the crayon never seeming to wash off no matter how many times you scrubbed the mug. The both of you sat in silence, sipping your tea until Tommy spoke up
“I’m sorry Y/N” He looked at you with sorry eyes
“Thomas...” You began
“Please don’t call me that” He pleaded
“But it’s your name. What am I supposed to call you?”
“Tommy. I’m Tommy. You always call me Tommy, don’t change that.”
You stared down into your mug, not being able to meet his eye
“I fucked up Y/N, I was in a bad place and I know it’s no excuse but I was so tired and it just seemed so easy to walk in there and fill my system with as much alcohol as possible”
“You believed what she said about me being some stuck up cunt, you didn’t listen to me when I told you she wasn’t to be trusted” as angry as you were, you were mostly sad. Sad your relationship with Tommy had come to this point
“I know Y/N, and I know I fucked up and I know I made a huge mistake I’ll never forgive myself for, but I love you, I love you so much and I can’t live without you. Just this one week without you has broken me and you don’t know how much it hurt me to see you and not be able to hold you, not have you by my side. To know that I wronged you.”
You were staring into his eyes, trying your hardest not to cry
“You’re only saying this because John confirmed she was working for the copper...” you meekly replied, not believing your own words
“No. I was going to speak to you after the meeting because I’d finally gotten the chance to see you. That other girl hadn’t even crossed my mind once”, his voice was firm and you could tell he was determined to have you forgive him
“Tommy... I don’t-”
“Y/N please, give me another chance, I don’t want to lose you because of something so stupid, because I’m so stupid. Please Y/N I can’t live without you” You noticed a tear run down his cheek and struggled to control your own emotions. You loved him and it broke your heart to see him so upset.
You got up from your seat, panic glossing over Tommy’s eyes before you walked up to him and hugged him, his head resting on your stomach with your arms holding his head close to you
“It’s okay, I forgive you, just don’t cry, please. It doesn’t suit you” You smiled down at him, your hand holding the side of his face as you used your thumb to wipe away the tear on his cheek, Tommy leaning into your touch
“And you really are stupid”, you half cried, half laughed “promise me you’ll never do that again” you held out your pink to him
He smiled up at you and took your pinky with his own 
“I promise.”
Tumblr media
AAAAAAH this is the end guys! I decided to give it a happy ending because fuck it why not! This is my first completed series and I really hope you guys enjoyed it. I went a bit crazy with the ending and I hope it’s not too cringe or disappointing, I just couldn’t stop myself. I was thinking about making a version where the reader ends up with John instead (because I love John), so let me know if you would be interested in that

Can you do headcanons siblings of the gang ? Like, how they act with them and how they treat them and how they let the gang act with them ?
Somewhat important note below~
So we know we said we take requests on a first come, first serve basis; however for the sake of time today (and due to the fact that we did not post anything last week) we decided to take on this request early. PLEASE do not be offended or upset if you are still waiting for your request! We promise we will be getting to them ALL. After this post now, we will go back to our fist come, first serve rule.
We have a few requests which we'll be writing longer stories for vs casual headcannons. Stories typically take us several hours to complete since your 2 lovely bitches who write do not live close enough to one another. We write together via FaceTime and Google Doc. We appreciate all your support and patience with us as we write you guys the best content possible! Enough rambling now, Enjoy these headcannons!!!
Patrick With A Little Sister-
Oh boy… Patrick is crazy over protective of his little sister.
Maybe the word should be obsessive and controlling instead~
He watches her every move. He even comes into her room as she sleeps just to occasionally check on her.
Whenever she gets out of Belch’s car heading to school, Patrick keeps a close eye on her again. Mentally noting everyone she talks to.
He makes sure everyone is in line. It doesn’t matter if it’s an adult or a kid. If they do something Patrick doesn’t like, they’re getting fucked up.
Patrick refuses to let guys talk to her. Only Henry, Vic and Belch are allowed to.
When Patrick isn’t around, he puts the other Bower’s Gang members in charge of her. And she knows well enough to listen to them.
He sometimes makes inappropriate comments about her, resulting in a smack off the head by the other guys.
Patrick LOVES to mess with her.
Always holding things over her head so she can’t reach.
Laughs as she tries to jump up and grab it from him.
He’ll lean down and rest his arms on the top of her head since she’s so much smaller than him.
When she doesn’t listen to Patrick, he will literally just pick her up and throw her over his shoulder and laugh as she struggles to get down.
Even though she’s a girl and a few years younger than him, doesn’t mean she’s safe from how rough Patrick gets.
He still wrestles her to the ground and puts her in a damn headlock.
Definitely gets a few bruises from Patrick playfully hitting her. (Patrick doesn't realize his own strength.)
One word… tickled. Patrick is always tickling the shit out of her to tease her.
It’s even worse when the entire Bower’s Gang joins in on torturing her.
Look… this is Patrick. So he still has a mean, sadistic side.
He gets off on fear so he loves to scare her anyway he can.
Whether that is by jumping out at her, or doing something dangerous and reckless like picking her up and dangling her over the cliff edge to the quarry. (she hates heights and doesn’t know how to swim.)
“Uh no! You’re slipping! Better hold on, sweetheart. I know you don’t know how to swim.” He chuckles darkly, smirking down at her as she grips onto his forearm tightly and cries.
Patrick doesn’t hesitate on the low- blows, either. Making comments that he knows will make her cry.
If she threatens to tell their parents on him, Patrick will grab her from behind agressively, making her gasp as he covers her mouth tightly and whisper tauntingly in her ear:
“Now, Now.. Just why would you say that? You know that only gets you in trouble, little one..” He chuckles darkly and tightens his grip in a painful manner.
Patrick With A Little Brother-
…… I think we all know how this ended…. Patrick disliked his little brother, Avery… a lot. You see, Patrick likes being the only male sibling. It’s less competition and less hassle for him. Only Patrick is allowed to make (more like break) the reputation of his family’s name in the small town of Derry, Maine. Bottom line, if Patrick had another little brother, it would result in the same outcome as Avery. Sorry.
Belch With A Little Sister-
Very protective. Does not let her out of his sight for a second.
Hovers over her when they walk in the woods so she doesn’t trip or fall down.
He brings her along when he goes out with the guys sometimes, unless he knows they will be partaking in illegal activities.
Keeps snacks in his car for whenever she rides with him and always makes sure she eats 3 proper meals during the day.
Not only does he have extra snacks but he has a first aid kit, too.
He’s always prepared knowing she’s small, so there’s a good chance she’ll accidentally get hurt hanging around the guys.
And yes, it has happened on more than one occeasion.
He checks on her during school and makes sure no one is messing with her.
After school, Belch makes sure she does her homework but never really helps her with it. Why would he? He doesn’t even do his own assignments.
For the most part, he’s pretty sweet but sometimes the big brother power goes to his head.
He makes her do her chores and his around the house.
If she ever did something wrong, Belch goes right to blackmail.
“I won’t let mom know about that F on your report card… only IF you wash my car everyday the rest of this week.
Henry purposely spills his drink on the hood of the car right after she just got down cleaning it.
“Opps.. looks like you missed a spot. Better get to it, kid.” Henry says mockingly as he ruffles her hair walking by.
Belch always makes sure she’s safe in bed by the end of the night though.
He even kisses the side of her head when the guys aren’t around.
Belch With A Little Brother-
He takes him under his wing.
Loves to talk about cars- the makes and models, horsepower, you name it.
Even though his little brother isn’t old enough to drive yet, that doesn’t stop Belch from giving him driving lessons.
But bet your life he threatens him before taking off. “I swear to fuck though man, if you crash my car, I will end you. Okay, now put it in reverse. Let’s go”
Belch watches sports with him and even plays in the backyard, as well.
Belch acts as if he’s his coach to prepare him for the school’s team.
He also teaches him how to properly lift weights and spots him, too.
Belch told him “the ladies love a man with muscles, so to keep lifting bro.”
Speaking of girls, Belch was the one who gave him ‘the talk’... in very elaborate and explicit detail leaving his brother shocked, disgusted, and intrigued all at once.
Although he does hang out with his brother from time to time, sometimes Belch chooses friends over family and takes off for long periods of time.
Belch for the most part tries to be patient with him, but still gives his brother tough love as a form of preparing him for the real world.
Overall, Belch is a pretty decent big brother.
He means well but sometimes misses the mark.
Henry With A Little Sister-
Their father works long shifts, often resulting in an absence in their home life.
Henry’s dad basically tells him he’s fully in charge of his little sister.
Henry acts pissed off about that like she’s a bother and interrupts his life but deep down, it makes him feel important for once in his life.
Henry is both very strict and protective over her.
He’s also very controlling such as who she’s allowed to talk to or what she’s allowed to wear.
Nothing short or low cut is allowed. She better not even think about talking back, either,
Henry doesn't have much patience for anything and his temper is even worse.
For example- Her short legs means she walks slower than the rest of them.
Henry rolls his eyes and ends up dragging her by her wrist or sometimes just throwing her over his shoulder because he can’t stand waiting for her.
When it comes time for school, Henry makes sure everyone knows she’s a Bowers. If anyone (child or adult) even just so much as looked at her funny, Henry is throwing hands.
Speaking of school, Henry doesn’t help her with any bit of projects or homework. “Don’t fuckin’ ask me! You do it, or don’t, I don't really give a shit.”
When it comes time for dinner, Henry makes simple stuff like peanut butter & jelly sandwiches, mac n’ cheese, or sometimes just fixes a bowl of cereal. But he always makes her clean up the mess / dishes after.
If she talks back, Henry has no problems getting in her face and yelling loudly.
Sometimes when his anger gets the best of him, he’ll smack her across the face.
He stiffens up when he sees the tears form in her eyes. Sometimes he just walks away and doesn’t want to deal with it, and other times he stands there stiffly and gives her an awkward hug.
“Sorry kid. I didn’t mean to hit you. You just pissed me the fuck off.”
Henry would never let anyone ever see this but occasionally he gives her a quick kiss to the side of her cheek when he’s feeling extra guilty. 
Similar to Patrick, Henry loves to get on her nerves.
Tripping her as she walks by.
Embarrassing her in front of the other guys just to see her blush.
Smacking her off the head as he walks by- her angry face makes Henry laugh.
Tickling her to make her admit something or as a form of punishment because he knows she hates that.
Barges in her room without knocking first.
Warns her she's never, ever allowed to have a boyfriend. And if she has a crush on either Vic, Belch, or Patrick...she’s dead meat.
Won’t allow her to drink alcohol or smoke. If she sneaks and does it, Henry teaches her a ‘lesson’.
“Find you wanna drink? Then here, take it. But now you have to drink the entire thing.”
He smirks and watches her get sick from the alcohol thinking that actually taught her a lesson and will deter her from it in the future.
Speaking of drinking-
When their dad comes home drunk, Henry is the one to take all his shit just to protect her because deep down he does care about her even though he calls her a “little fucking shit” daily.
Henry With A Little Brother-
In Henry's warped mind, his brother is a guy too, so he doesn’t need to be coddled like his little sister does.
If Henry has to withstand hits and verbal abuse, then his little brother should too. “Why should he get a pass?” Henry scoffs.
Henry gives him a lot of tough love.
He tries to make him ‘stronger’ by saying some really rotten shit to him. “Builds character, get used to it, kid.”
Henry does teach his brother how to fight though. “Put those stupid fuckin’ books down pussy. Books can’t teach you how to be a fucking man, but throwing punches will.”
Henry gave his little brother his own knife for his birthday.
He told him since he’s a Bowers, he's a target so it will come in handy~
Gives his brother “advice” on girls and sex; telling him which girls around town ‘put out’ the most.
One day when his brother asked Henry about a particular girl Henry responded with: “Ooh yeah, (random girl’s name), the only thing good about her is her pussy. Face is busted.”
Overall, Henry isn’t too bad towards his brother but once again, when his temper is raging, no one is safe from him.
Vic With A Little Sister-
Overly cautious and protective of her. He’s basically like a helicopter parent.
When the guys are swearing around her, he covers her ears and tells the guys to cut it out.
“Guys! Language!”
“I’m only a few years younger than you guys, I’m not a child!” she retorts.
Patrick, being classic creepy Patrick circles around her. “Just give it a few more years babe. Based on how your mom looks...” Patrick licks his lips envisioning Vic’s mother until Vic smacks him in the balls making Patrick hunch over in pain.
Vic likes to keep her in sight so right after school, he goes straight to her locker and makes sure she rides home with them, too.
When they get out of the car to bully some kids, Vic tells her to stay put. He doesn’t want her involved in anything.
When walking through the woods to the quarry, He always has a hand around her upper arm for support when climbing down the embankment.
He watches her like a hawk when swimming, so paranoid something will happen. Again, think helicopter parent
While he’s sweet for the most part, there’s times he just loses his temper.
He’ll explode and begin yelling at her, only inches from her face.
Sometimes when she does something really, really out of line, Vic will shove her into Henry and Patrick.
“Here guys, teach this little bitch a lesson for me. And don’t go easy on her.” Vic says walking off to calm down.
A part of him feels a little guilty when he sees her cry but other times he feels it’s justified.
He isn’t overly affectionate with her around the guys, the most he does is put an arm around her shoulder.
Sometimes sneaks behind her and tasers her sides and laughs when she jumps and collapses to the ground.
But when no one is around, he 100% gives the best hugs.
When she’s going to a sleepover at a girl-friend's house, Vic tells her to be safe and mumbles, “love you.”
Back at home before bed, Vic will tease her for being paranoid as she makes her way around the house, triple checking to make sure all the windows and doors are locked.
“What? Afraid the boogeyman is gonna getcha?” Vic mocks.
If she’s having a nightmare and calls for Vic, he’ll come and sit on the bedroom floor next to her bed until she falls asleep again.
Vic With A Little Brother-
Vic isn’t as protective over his little brother as he is with their little sister; but he still cares for him.
He just feels that his brother is able to hold his own while his sister needs more protection/ guidance.
He let’s his brother tag along with the guys. They all don’t mind. If anything, they refer to his little brother as Vic number 2.
He genuinely listens to his brother’s interests. Okay.. sometimes he zones out when he drones on and on but he always acts interested.
Vic is pretty book smart so he helps his brother with school work, especially in math.
Tries to make his brother more confident when it comes to talking / picking up girls.
Basically acts as his wing man.
The guys try to give his brother tips on how to pick up girls...Vic usually tells him to ignore everything they say because all that's gonna earn him is a slap in the face.
Tells him not to listen to Henry or Patrick for girl advice.. EVER.
He does teach his brother how to fight though.
Just because Vic is one of the sweeter ones in the gang; that doesn’t change the fact that he’s in a gang to begin with…
When his brother told him he was being picked on, Vic taught him how to fight, but also got involved himself.
Nothing like sending an intimidating message to a few assholes.
When Vic and his brother fight with each other, he doesn’t hold back just because that’s his little brother.
Overall, they get along for the most part and Vic is a pretty decent older brother to his siblings.
