#when trying to help figure out why the other is ‘undateable’ turns into ‘you’re perfect why am i not dating you?’ real quick

[steddielations]

Eddie finally lets Jeff talk him into going on this blind date. It's not like he's against dating, he just doesn't expect fireworks from an hour of small talk over an overpriced dinner, y'know? Jeff swore by this guy, though, assuring Eddie that they would hit it off, but Eddie will never know because the guy doesn't show.

That's right, he gets stood up, Jeff texts him a string of apologies saying the guy chickened out. So Eddie’s just sitting there alone, trying not to sulk when the waitress asks if he's still waiting to order. Fuck it, he refuses to be the most miserable person in the restaurant, looking around to find someone equally as pathetic, and lo and behold:

Three tables away, there's a guy getting dumped.

Eddie eavesdrops because he has nothing better to do. It’s a pretty standard breakup. Sounds like they haven't been together long and things fizzled out. Neither of them seem to be invested enough to try and salvage it.

"Aren't you gonna say anything, Steve?"

No, Steve isn't. He just sits there while his former boyfriend leaves, doesn't try to stop him at all. Not in a hardened douchebag way, but in a dejected 'why do I even bother' way that Eddie knows all about.

And well, Eddie might be a cynic but his curiosity isn't dead. This Steve is far too pretty to be getting dumped in a seafood place and Eddie has to know what the deal is. It leads him right over to Steve's table. He looks up at Eddie, not quite dead behind the eyes yet, but maybe a little lonely. Just needs a spark.

"Alright well, something tells me that a stranger bugging you won't be the worst thing to happen to you tonight, so I'm just gonna take this empty seat and maybe we can help each other figure out why we're both alone on a Friday night. What do you say?"

Steve blinks, a little taken back at first, then he matches the nonchalance that Eddie's so good at faking with a smirk and a shrug, "Depends. Do you have all night?"

Turns out, Jeff was right about one thing, Eddie does hit it off with someone and it doesn't take all night. They leave the restaurant together, spend hours just walking the town and even breaking into a park after hours. It's the most fun Eddie's had in a while, and even though he doesn't get a goodnight kiss just yet, he gets a second date, which is even better.

He walks home with a skip in his step and a fire in his belly that he hasn't felt in years. He never thought he'd be so glad to get stood up before.

Those Doll!anon fics were really amazing! I really wanna do something like it if you don’t mind. Could I maybe get a Yorkie!MC? Like, a really short, really friendly MC until they feel like they or one of the brothers/undateables are being threatened or insulted, then they try to pick a fight they’d obviously lose? I’m just laughing at the mental imagine of this short, unthreatening human yelling at and trying to square up against a demon lol.

Awww tysm!! 💙I missed writing for Obey Me (and we also hit 666 followers at this point 😈💜) and since this was so interesting I decided that I’m gonna do the Undateables first and then do the brothers cause I feel like I don’t show them enough love 😔 reader is gender neutral!

The Undateables with Yorkie!MC

Diavolo

He is LOVING your energy

Your happiness is so contagious, it just adds onto his already cheery demeanor. He honestly feels his cheeks hurting from smiling even more when you’re around (and he doesn’t even care!)

He’s gonna buy Lucifer so much Demonus as a thank you for picking you for the exchange program. Seriously, you’re PERFECT (for him)

As the President of Student Council and future King, he loves seeing you interact with the other students, and he’s glad that they’re reacting positive to you. At least some of them do

Now, no one is to foolish (or powerful) enough to threaten Diavolo or do anything to you that can bring you harm. They can try, but they won’t be getting the results that they hope for

But he can’t help it but find it amusing when you try to “defend his honor” when someone bad mouths him. He makes sure to not let it show (gotta be professional after all) but he does tease you about it later. You’re so small and seeing you just yelling square up to this demon is hilarious. He has no idea what geometry has to do with this, but he’s learned some new slang thanks to you!

He’s finally found someone who’ll go along with his antics and more. Whereas other people may complain about him wanting to do fun activities that seem basic, you just flash a big smile, grab his hand and tell him to lead the way

(You even made matching friendship bracelets and he refuses to take it off, ever)

You really make him happy MC. He doesn’t remember the last time he’s ever felt this lighthearted, and he doesn’t feel the sense of loneliness that he felt himself getting used too

Also Lucifer gets twice the headache now, but the Demonus helps it go away (temporarily)

Barbatos

Ah, so another Luke, except older and that you take your threats of violence very serious, if what he sees (both in the present and the future) holds true (which it does)

You’re still harmless in his eyes though

Your friendly personality makes it easy for you to be forgiven for a lot of things…even if your actions make him give you the side eye at times

Despite how energetic you are (which is something that he’ll never grow tired of) your presence has a relaxing effect on him. Even if he has to warn you sometimes to be careful with the way that you bounce around so much, especially when he’s in the kitchen

He unfortunately can’t be by your side as he is Lord Diavolo’s butler, but that doesn’t mean that he can’t keep watch on you, even without the use of his powers

With how outgoing you are, you’re bound to attract trouble, in which you do at a constant rate. What was comical however, is that it seemed like the trouble you attracted was on his behalf

“MC, what seems to be the issue here?”

“BARB! You won’t believe this! This jerk has the nerve to call you stuck up- well I can show you stuck up! After I stick my foot up your- Huh? Hey, why am I the one being dragged away?! W- count yourself lucky that Barb is saving you right now demon! But this isn’t over- MPH!”

“I hate to spoil you before our tea party, but you were already late and I have been meaning to have you try my new recipe that I’ve been working on…”

You were too busy trying to savor the delicious flavor to focus on what just happen, which was his plan all along. You get to try more of his delicious treats and he gets to enjoy your touch and company. Crisis averted!

He’s crafty enough to have plans to evade you “fighting” and you haven’t caught on yet (or maybe you did and just feign ignorance? Either way works for him)

It doesn’t bother him what people say about him, he doesn’t care in the slightest (and they’re not bold enough to say it to his face). What he cares about is making sure that you keep your carefree energy, and that he keeps to see you with your radiating smile on your face

Simeon

You remind him so much of Luke. Are you sure you’re not from the Celestial Realm too?

Don’t worry he’s only teasing you (kinda) but you do have just as much energy if not MORE than Luke

And you don’t mind helping him either, no matter how “silly” his requests may be

“You’re doing great Si! See, you didn’t even need my help!”

“MC, I couldn’t have gotten to this point without you. My pictures are still coming out a little blurry, but that could be because you wouldn’t stand still- but it does add special kind of charm to them…”

He’s keeping them btw

He was shook when he saw you go off the first time, like he really wasn’t expecting it (Solomon did try to warn him, he was laughing but he did try to warn him)

“Don’t think just because he’s an angel means I’m bout to act like one! I will end you!”

MC please don’t make this demon “catch these hands” violence isn’t necessary

He doesn’t know what that means but he’s scared that he’s gonna find out if he doesn’t hold you back

He has reprimanded you each time when you try to fight others. He knows that demons see him as weak and talk behind his back, but he chooses to ignore them, to turn the other cheek. But just because he does, doesn’t mean that you do, and he sees that now

Simeon really doesn’t want you to fight, and it’s not even because it’s against his nature (it’s part of the reason, just not the whole reason). Fighting leads to injury, and injury leads to distress, and that’s the last thing that he wants to happen to you. And he’s not going to let anything happen to you!

He truly believes it’s a waste of time and energy, and you could find better things to do. For example, by spending time with him!

Simeon may not be your guardian angel officially, but he’s your guardian angel. Always

Has definitely written a character based on you

Luke

Is immediately upset that you don’t stay in Purgatory Hall with him, and even more upset that you don’t live in the Celestial Realm

You’re like the best older sibling he’s never had! And you don’t treat him like a baby either!

Or he’s just admiring you too much to notice

You never hesitate to help him with anything; baking, homework, pretty much anything and everything. He may try to make it seem like you need his assistance, but we all know it’s the other way around (with the exception of Luke himself)

We all know that Luke gets teased by the brothers and even his roommates sometimes (looking at you Solomon), but it’s just harmless teasing (for the most part). It’s when he hears what the other students say about him that gets to him- he tries to show that it doesn’t bother him and he tries to stand up for himself but- their words really hurt him

And no one hurts Luke and gets away with it

You already get onto the brothers for their teasing when it starts to bother him, and now the brothers have to jump in to stop you from trying to rip this demon horns’ off

You can’t really reach them and they’re pretty sure you won’t do any damage, but they rather not take the chance of you getting hurt

It’s not the first or last time that you do this either, and it just makes him feel horrible. He’s the angel here, the one that’s suppose to protect you, not the other way around!

You help him out so much, either without defending him you do so much for him already. How can he ever repay you? He feels like whatever he does won’t be enough…WAIT- he figured out what he can do!

He can get stronger and protect you! He can go to Beel so that you don’t have to fight for him anymore, or maybe have Solomon make some potions that’s like demon repellent but only for those jerks. If those mean demons see how serious and strong he is, then they’re bound to leave you guys alone! Maybe he can show you some tricks too once he’s done. He has to hurry up and tell you the plan then, you guys can’t wait any longer!

Their words do hurt, but so does seeing you putting yourself in harms way to protect him. You can’t do all the protecting MC, he needs to watch out for you too, no if ands or buts about it!

You and Luke are the duo we never knew we needed

Solomon

Ah, it’s about time he found a human as interesting and adorable as you. Where having you been hiding all his lifetime?!

He has wayyyy more fun teasing you than Luke. Your pout just makes things x100 better and cuter

Congrats on becoming his new victim MC

Another one to find you very amusing when you try to fight and won’t stop you either

He will dead serious be recording you trying to fight on his DDD. He’ll make sure that it doesn’t escalate but who is he to stop such entertainment?

He has become tempted to cast a superhuman strength spell on you, and he ends up doing it “on accident” (which has happened more than once)

Lucifer has done the “I’m watching you” thing to him every time he has lmao

But no seriously, he won’t let you get hurt; he won’t even let the chance arise. He’s already pulling you away before you can get yourself worked up fully, dragging you to the library or his room to test some new spells (one that he tempts you can use on these demons). It’s enough to get your attention back on him

You’re a daily source of his amusement and someone that he wants MC, but that doesn’t mean he can afford his favorite human getting hurt on his watch!

He’s no stranger to the gossip about him, nor is he clueless. It’s just all talk anyway, he doesn’t care and neither should you. But it is touching to know that you care this much about him and how he feels…

But he doesn’t want you to do this for him. He’s a powerful sorcerer, he can easily solve this without breaking a sweat if he wanted to, but he doesn’t deem it worthy to even waste a drop of potions on. But since you’re so concerned, maybe a quick kiss would make him feel better?

He thought you were a little gullible, but that’s not the case. You just have a very open and bright personality, one that he finds himself getting attached to more and more as each day passes

If he’s not careful, he might get more enamored with you than he already is-

[belphies-wife]

hello! how are you? :)

i saw that your requests are open so, how would the brothers + undateables (but if it’s more practical for you, the brothers only) be with a mc who's constantly dying their hair (different colors or a specific color)

like, if they help her, their reactions to her natural hair color

loved the hcs and fics you did already, keep up with your work! ❤️

Tysm for this request! To be inclusive to all hair colours, I’m going to say that the MC had their hair bleached to a pale blond colour so that it’s easier for them to dye their different hair colours and is currently dying their hair back to their natural colour.

Also, I’m so sorry I took so long on your request. It came in around the last month of school so things were pretty hectic. Then writer’s block hit me when summer started. I’m getting back into writing so hopefully I’ll get back to posting regularly <3 enjoy!

Now, without further ado:

»»————-　♔　-————««

The Brothers + MC Who Constantly Dyes Their Hair

Lucifer

➼ He honestly didn’t understand why you couldn’t just stick to one hair colour.

➼ It kind of reminded him of that time Asmo went through a phase where he would dye his hair every other week.

➼ Or that time Satan pulled a rebellious teenager stunt and dyed his hair green to piss Lucifer off.

➼ The constant colour changing got on his nerves a bit initially, but it doesn’t really bother him anymore. If it makes you happy, then do what you want.

➼ I feel like he’d like the Narcissa Malfoy style on you (the top layer of hair being black or brown and the inside layers being blond or white)

➼ One day you asked him to help you dye your hair.

➼ He didn’t really know what he was supposed to do but tried to be as helpful as possible.

➼ The first thing you did was put the colour remover to take out the old colour.

➼ “What colour are we doing today, my dear?”

➼ You grinned at him. “I want to go back to my natural hair colour this time.” You held up a bottle of hair dye that matched your hair colour.

➼ Lucifer had never seen your natural hair colour, and he tried imagining you with it but figured he’d better see it for himself before having an opinion.

➼ You showed him how to apply it, and he helped you get it in places that were harder for you to do on your own.

➼ He absolutely loves your natural hair and tells you as much all the time.

»»————-　♔　-————««

Mammon

➼ He couldn’t care less about what you did with your hair.

➼ Well, that’s what he did, but really, all your hair colours fascinated him.

➼ He had white hair, so it was very easy to dye it. He had tried experimenting with a few different hair colours before but didn’t think it suited him all that much.

➼ He loves your hair but would probably never say it out loud.

➼ Okay, maybe in private.

 ➼ I feel like you dying your hair so much would motivate him to try dying his own hair again.

➼ You told him he’d look good with brown hair, and that’s probably enough to convince him.

➼ You suggested turning it into a date, since you were planning on dying your hair back to its natural colour soon. That way you could help each other.

➼ He was super excited for the entire week leading up to the date, both for the actual date and to your natural hair colour.

➼ He actually researched a lot about dying hair at home because he was afraid of messing up. He didn’t tell you that, though.

➼ He was very helpful throughout the hair-dying process.

 ➼ Also, he rocked the brown hair.

➼ Demanded cuddles as a payment for his services afterwards.

»»————-　♔　-————««

Leviathan

➼ Levi is somewhat of an expert when it comes to hair dye and insists on helping you out in dying your hair once you become friends, and even more so when you started dating.

➼ You told him you wanted to go back to your natural colour.

➼ He was so excited to help you. It was honestly adorable. 

➼ He was really helpful, and honestly, it turned out amazing.

➼ He showers you with about a hundred compliments immediately afterwards.

➼ Honestly, helping you with your hair is one of his favourite things to do.

➼ Please tell him he did a good job. He’ll melt.

➼ Seriously, do it.

»»————-　♔　-————««

Satan

➼ Satan 100% had a rebellious teen phase where he would dye his hair every other week to piss off Lucifer.

➼ But don’t assume that he did a good job, because he didn’t.

➼ When Asmo learned of his hair-dying habits, he immediately put a stop to it and insisted on taking his older brother to a salon to get it done. The whole ordeal honestly became rather annoying for Satan, and his visits to the salon became less and less frequent until they stopped.

➼ The employees, however, did become familiar with him as Asmo’s older brother and offered him discounts. He did, however, frequent it occasionally for a cut.

➼ He offered to take you there so you could get a discount for your hair, and you, not one to decline a discount, accepted.

➼ “What colour are you getting?” Asked Satan, curious.

➼ You took out your phone and showed him a picture. “My natural hair colour.”

➼ “It looks good.” Satan smiled. 

➼ Overall he wasn’t as excited as everyone else was about your hair, but he did enjoy the whole thing. He’s happy to spend time with you no matter what you’re doing, and seeing you so happy over your hair is just a bonus.

»»————-　♔　-————««

Asmodeus

➼ Do you really think you’re allowed to dye your own hair while dating Asmo? Cause if you do, you’re wrong.

➼ Don’t you dare even suggest using box dye. You’ll give the poor guy a heart attack.

➼ Obviously, he insists on taking you to his favourite salon instead. He turns the whole day into a self-care/spa day. 

➼ He doesn’t really have a preference on what hair colour you have and whether it’s natural or not. As long as it makes you feel attractive, it’s perfect.

»»————-　♔　-————««

Beelzebub

➼ Like Satan and Asmo, Beel doesn’t have a preference on what hair colour you have as long as you’re happy. 

➼ He is, however, quite eager to assist you. 

➼ Beel’s actually pretty good at dying hair. Who do you think helps Belphie when he bleaches his tips?

➼ He’s incredibly cautious while doing your hair, making sure the dye is applied evenly so that your hair won’t come out patchy. It turned out amazing in the end, and he showered you in compliments afterwards. 

➼ Let me have my soft giant Beel, okay?

»»————-　♔　-————««

Belphegor

➼ As the resident emo, Belphie has plenty of experience with dying hair.

➼ While he’s too lazy to do it for you, he’s happy to help.

➼ He ends up cutting his hair and rebleaching the tips, too.

➼ Beel does end up coming and helping out, though.

➼ Honestly, it’s less romantic and more of just you two hanging out together. Very wholesome and 100% ends up with you two taking a nap together and him nuzzling his head into your hair.

»»————-　♔　-————««

Tysm for reading <3 I’m really sorry for the wait. Like I said, I’m hoping to get back onto a more consistent writing schedule again. My requests are still open, though!

First impressions of Hakuoki characters:

Hijikata: Sebastian from Black Butler realness. Is mean but in a reluctant way. Like a Mum who is in charge of discipline because her husband (Kondou) is incapable of laying down the law. I like him but I would like him more if the game wasn't sucking his dick so hard. He has good hair. Please don't kill me, Hijikata!

Okita: He is handsome (duh) but seems a bit too eager to kill his own men... Ugh, now he's making me thank him. His idea of humour is threatening to kill you. He's like an old cackling witch who was shunned by the world and is taking it out on anyone he has power over. I enjoy him but I find it hard to relate to someone who takes pleasure in tormenting the helpless. Big dom energy. Probably enjoyed tying you up a bit too much. I want to fight back but I have a feeling that there is no script for bratty Chizuru. :'(

Saito: The Chosen One. He is dangerous but also adorable. He saved mah life *swoons*. He is HELPFUL. He has beautiful impractical hair. He is CONCISE. He is POLITE. He just seems like a great person to have around... If he's on your side (R.I.P. Itou). Alas, we can never be wed, for he is already married to his sword... Or maybe it's Hijikata... Or Okita... Or tofu. He has a lot of commitments.

Harada: He has red hair. Me like red hair. I feel like all three of them are way too casual about my impending doom. Not getting friendly vibes here. However, it turns out that he's pretty great! A bit too chirpy for my liking, though. Because I'm a miserable bitch (goth), I guess. The baka trio are all more boisterous and outgoing than I would be comfortable being around but I like them on their own. Harada is my favourite, though. Definitely the Mum of the trio. I guess that makes him the cool aunty of the Shinsengumi? He has the best Kazama burns and I will always love him for that.

Heisuke: I wish that the others would stop treating him like a child. Maybe they would if he stopped taking their bait. He's the most openly friendly of the group and that means a lot when you're surrounded by new people (and are being held against your will). He looks like an angry wildcat. I like cats so that's fine, I guess.

Kazama: Ew. Can you tell that I don't like him? Fuck this wannabe nonce. Actually, no! Don't fuck him! That's what he wants! Just stab him real good. He cannot control his temper. I do not respect that. He is racist. He is too scared of rejection to court a girl and get consent. He is really handsome but he has the worst personality so I feel no attraction to him at all. Not even for a hate fuck. No. Go away.

Nagakura: Ah, the classic pervert! We love a slut! I kept forgetting who he was, though. Sorry. Clearly, he has hidden depths but I have yet to find out what those are. Is a little bit too violent. Needs to calm tf down. I don't really have much else to say about first impressions. At first, the baka trio were just loud, wacky background noise.

Sannan: Seems fine, I guess... Fairly reasonable. If he was such a sweet, fluffy bunny before his injury, why was everyone so scared of him? He has a pleasantly calm aura. However, he needs to work on his diplomacy. Demanding blood while brandishing a sword is extremely un-chill of him. I also enjoy wandering around eerily in the middle of the night so we have that in common. Definitely gives off sinister vibes.

Yamazaki: Ninja Nurse Mum! He is clever, selfless, dedicated and reliable! He deserves a better hairstyle XD Sorry Yamazaki! The rat tail is not a strong look but he probably has more important things to worry about like SAVING LIVES and coming up with new moves to shout out in combat. I am excited to do his route because he deserves all the happiness.

Iba: The most beautiful one. He's rich, good looking, friendly and has had a crush on you for years. He also rescues you from the Shinsengumi on numerous occasions to hang out and eat delicious desserts. He's very cute. Definitely too good to be true. Everyone has a dark side and it concerns me when someone locks theirs away so much. Or maybe he really is that 2D. Iba is so perfect that they had to give him the Demon Arm of Horniness because they didn't want to tarnish him with a human flaw. I would probably be obsessed with him if he was real but, as a character, I don't find him that interesting.

Sakamoto: I still have no idea who this man is. He creeps me out, though. I don't remember why, I just remember being creeped out when you first meet him. Maybe he should mind his own business.

Souma: Puppy? Who threw this poor guy to Harada and Nagakura? Wow, I finally have underlings. However, they are probably not here against their will. He looks scared so he must have some brains. I haven't played his route yet so I don't know much about him.

Nomura: Horny Puppy! This isn't really a first impression (except for in the sense that all of my impressions are initial because I haven't played much with him in yet) and is totally spoilery but there's a bit in Edo Blossoms where they're making fun of him for being terrible with women and how it'll take him ten years to figure them out. At the time, I thought, "Bit harsh, guys. He could very easily die tomorrow and then he'll never get any." AND THEN HE DID. Die, that is. Not get laid. R.I.P.

Kondou: Married to Hijikata. They have loads of terrible children. Fun Dad. Thinks that he's a cool Dad but there are no cool Dads. Everyone talks about how nice he is and how everyone loves him but it's hard to appreciate that when he's debating whether or not to feed you to Okita. Turns out, he is kind but very busy. Definitely a secret badass. Very secret. He gives off friendly bear vibes.

Inoue: Friendly Grandad who is way younger than he looks. Not datable so he is mostly in the background, just being kind, helpful and dependable. He is warm but calm and comforting to be around.

Shimada: Gruff undatable anime guy who is not a bishie and so his brave and heroic acts often go unnoticed.

Motoyama: Bless him for trying to be a wingman. Why is he so scared of the Shinsengumi? Scary poor people with swords? He is very good at his job. Needs to calm down with the winks and nudges.

Itou: This Bitch. He could be fabulous but he loses points for mocking the disabled. He's Regina George. Except he actually dies. Is very camp. Would be great to go shopping with him. Not necessarily gay but is the gay best friend you deserve, not the gay best friend you asked for. Is a bitch but also sometimes the only sane person in the room. He's not reading you, he's just being real with you because you're Shinsengumi Sisters.

Miki: Bitch by Association. "Darling." Doesn't seem totally evil, just trying to do his best by his brother. Relies on tough guy image. Doing his job but happens to be on team Bitch. Also, he is a handsome boi.

Takeda: Fabulous Cunt. Should be too beautiful to be such a disaster human and yet here we are. Starts off as a bit of a prick, ends up (spoilers) feasting on the flesh of innocents... Is that a glow up? He's a dirty cop. Nobody likes him X_X :'(

Shiranui: GUNS! SHOOTY SHOOTY! He has a lot of aggression and he channels it through his GUNS. He always looks somewhat maniacal. Needs to take a chill pill.

Amagiri: Infuriatingly calm enemy with infuriating facial hair. He seems pretty chill and not bloodthirsty so... Good? He punched Heisuke, though, so RAAAAAAAWR!!!!

Kodo: Worst Dad. Scalpels > kunai. Took a level in WTF while he was away (hopefully he wasn't always like that).

Kaoru: Why can't I dress like that? :'( Definitely evil.

Sen: Hey, don't tell me off for protecting you! Can we be best friends?! I'M SO STARVED OF FEMALE CONTACT!!! More of this queen, please. She is powerful, kind and she is honest! I wanted to run away with her while Saito and Heisuke were away :') But the game didn't let me :'(

Kimigiku: GOALS. Why can't I be disguised as a geisha (except for that one time) :'( GET THIS QUEEN A ROUTE. She is beauty she is grace. I wish that I looked more like a woman and less like a child. I want her to be my friend too. She can teach me her womanly arts!

Chizuru!: She's fine. Much less annoying than she could easily be. Too pure for this world. A fine example of woman (well, she looks like a child). Her disguise is useless. Pretends not to be thirsty but rushes past Itou to see shirtless men. HMMMMMMM.

MissMatched.com, Ch. 7 (7/9)

In a world where every dating site swears by their algorithms and databases to find the most accurate match with a high percentage of compatibility, a new site is giving them all a run for their money.

Missmatched.com promises no data or algorithm, just a few people that *know* how to find your best match based on their instincts and their vibes.

Emma Swan is hired to investigate if there’s a fraud involved with the site’s claim of not using any type of statistics. That path leads her right into the hands of Missmatched.com founder, Killian Jones, who promises her that he’ll prove he’s worth his salt by finding Emma her perfect match without any data or algorithms involved.

A new story by me, dedicated from the bottom of my heart to the wonderful @businesscasualprincess All the thanks in the world to my beta @sambethe​

Ao3 FF.net Tumblr: 1 2 3 4 5 6

Ariel & Eric

She was running out of questions to ask. Emma knew it, and she could guess that Killian knew it at some level too. But she couldn’t avoid being drawn to those offices time and again. Surrounding herself with all the stories of love found was becoming a balm over her battered soul. Emma refused to acknowledge it as such, yet every time she crossed the doors into the office, she could feel her heart skipping a beat.

This time was no different, as she maneuvered the door handle while balancing two cups of coffee and a doughnut box under her chin. When she lifted her eyes, the sight in front of her almost took her breath away.

Ariel was perched on her desk, snuggling closely with a brown-haired man. He had handsome features and was currently nuzzling Ariel’s nose, looking at her as if she were the only thing in the room.

“Swan! What a lovely surprise…”

Killian’s voice made Emma turn her head and find his eyes. He was quickly at her side, relieving the pastry box from her and motioning to one of the cups.

“Is that one for me, love?” he asked and his fingers softly caressed hers as he took the cup. Butterflies fluttered in her stomach at the contact and Emma quickly tore her gaze from his and back into the couple who were completely oblivious to anything else around them. Watching them allowed her to avoid the feeling she didn’t want to deal with.

“Oh, I see you’ve met another of our golden couples.” There was a trace of something that sounded like regret in Killian’s voice, but he seemed to quickly mask it as he took a few steps in Ariel’s direction. “You probably don’t have them on your radar because there was never a file opened on them per se, but maybe they’d be willing to do an impromptu interview with you.”

Ariel finally tore her eyes away from the man in front of her to focus on Emma and Killian. “Sure! We’d love to tell Emma our story. This is Eric, my prince.” Her smile was blindingly innocent and pure as she held Eric’s hand in hers.

“It’s a pleasure to meet you.” Eric retrieved his hand from Ariel’s hold for a brief moment to shake Emma’s and then he resumed his hand-holding with Ariel. “I’m not so sure our story is anything out of the ordinary, but we’d be happy to share it.”

“Wait a minute.” Emma turned to meet Killian’s amused stare as he attacked one of the doughnuts. “You’re responsible for this one?”

Killian took his time as he chewed, making a big deal of thinking this through. “It’s tricky,” he said once he swallowed, “as there was a sheer luck component in this one.”

“It was destiny,” Ariel pronounced. “And Killian was here to read the signs.”

Eric noticed Emma’s dumbfounded look and took pity on her. “They’re always like this, you get used to it. I think we should start by telling Emma how I walked into this very same room by mistake almost a year ago.”

Realization dawned on Emma. “What were you looking for?”

“A fishing company.” Eric’s cheeks tinted with a slight blush. “I had just moved to town and I still didn’t know all my surroundings and I found myself in the presence of the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen.”

“He was so lost and I was so enthralled by him that it took me a few minutes to figure out what he was looking for and help him get to where he needed to be.” Ariel smiled at him, clearly lost in the memory.

Eric lifted her fingers to his lips. “It just happened.”

“Just like that?” Emma Swan wasn’t someone who believed things like meet-cutes existed outside of romantic comedies.

Killian’s voice seemed a lot closer than before. “Well, Swan, I figured something was there the moment Eric couldn’t stop talking in front of her, all sorts of terrible nonsense.” His lips almost caressed her ear as he leaned in closer to her. “Not to mention Ariel couldn’t manage to utter a single word. You’ve met Ariel, right?”

Emma chuckled against her will and she could feel Killian’s laugh as if it were caressing her skin. When she risked to look at him, she found him staring at her. “She was looking at him as if he was everything. All I had to do was follow after the fellow and convince him to use my services. Free of charge, of course.”

Killian’s smug smirk didn’t seem to bother Emma any longer, not after all these weeks of knowing it was the way he hid how he truly cared for the wellbeing of others.

“It seems you do a lot of pro-bono work.”

“A little here and there…” He shrugged off the compliment as if it weren’t a big deal. “The company is doing really well, so if we can help a few people out for free along the way, why not?”

She took a sip of her coffee and contemplated the couple in front of her. Emma didn’t need to ask any more questions. She didn’t need more proof. She knew now - from the bottom of her battered, forgotten, and once frozen heart - that whatever was going on between these four walls, whether it was magic, sheer luck, or simply people who took time to learn about others, was real.

Her silence wasn’t lost on Killian. “Swan?” he asked hesitantly.

She gave him a small smile as she nodded her head towards his office. He caught onto her meaning and led her there, closing the door behind them.

“What is it?” he asked the moment he was facing her.

“I’ll be turning in my report later this week or at the beginning of the next,” she said, trying to keep her eyes focused on his.

He swallowed. “And?”

“You’re off the hook.” She took a deep breath, her eyes scanning his office, wanting to commit every single detail of it to her memory. She didn’t dare to do the same with Killian’s face, though she was sure she’d never be able to forget his features anyway.

His hand on her arm brought back her attention to him. “Thank you,” he said, his voice almost breaking with emotion.

“You don’t have to thank me. I just did my job.” The moment lingered between them and it became too much for her. “I’m just sorry that there wasn’t enough time for you to find me a match.”

His lips curved into a soft smile. “I’ll still find it for you, Emma. I’ve promised.” His reverence wasn’t lost on Emma and she shuffled her feet.

“How long does this take… because it does seem to be taking a while. Am I that undatable?” she joked, finding self-deprecation to be the best tactic for ignoring the air thickening between them.

His voice was as soft as a caress. “Quite the opposite, Swan. But I’m not just finding you a date, I’m searching for your perfect match, and you…” he trailed off but didn’t look away from her.

She swayed closer to him. “I- what?”

His fingers grazed her cheek as his eyes scanned her face. She could feel him committing her to memory. “You deserve everything.”
