@fcrgiven liked for a heartsteel yone 🍃

❝   glad you found the time to come see me.   ❞   Yone gave something of a grin in his younger brother's direction, arms folded as he leaned the full weight of his body against the door frame.   ❝   i haven't heard anything from true damage in a while, but i'm sure you guys are busy, aren't you?   ❞   Yone is equal parts ecstatic his brother can share in a similar profession as himself, as he is that he became just as successful as Yone himself. while Yasuo's method of mixing is unique from his own, there are elements in each brother's style that compliments one another, and only the most skilled musical geniuses might be able to pick up on that.   ❝   want to go out for lunch?   ❞

accidents  were  accidents;  though  Yone  had  the nagging  suspicion  that  if  Aphelios  were  to  find  out what  happened  here  today,  he'd  have  a  warrant  for  Yone's  life.  he  might  as  well  start  counting  his  blessings  now,  because  after  this  moment  war  off,  the  hunt  would begin.  it's  not  like  he'd  done  this on  purpose;  he'd  only  turned  his  head  because  he  meant  to  ask  her what  the  heck  was  going  on.  just  how  was  he  supposed  to  know  it'd  cause  a  collision  between  their  lips?

a  likely  story,  a  likely  story,  one  that  probably  wouldn't  get  him far.  he'd  try  though;  the  last  thing  he  needed  was  the  other  twin's wrath  bearing  down  on  his  head  like  an  anvil  waiting  to  drop.

these  were  thoughts  spared  for  another  time;  a  different  hour.  for  the  moment  he  was  focused entirely  on  the  soft  feeling  of  her  lips  pressed  against  his  own.  the relief  of  a  century  washing  over  his  body,  the  yearning,  the  longing,  all  coming  to fruition  in  that  very  second.  it  was  only  brief,  a  split  second  before  Yone  hastened  to  break  away,  but  it  felt  like  a lifetime  had  passed  between  the  two  of  them.

and  deep  down  inside,  Yone  was pleased.

that  feeling  didn't  translate  into  his  otherwise horrified  facial  expression,  but  it  lingered  in  his  chest;  flowered  and  grew.  he  separated  from  her  entirely  and  took  a  couple  steps  back,  eyes  wide  and  cheeks  flushed.     ❝    i...  uh. sorry.     ❞    he  stuttered  worthlessly,  eyes  cast downward.     ❝    i  didn't  mean  for  that  to  happen.  it's...  you  know,  let's  just  try  to  forget  about  this,  alright  Alune?  pretend  it  never  happened.    ❞

it's  not  how  she  imagined  their  fist  kiss,  and  her  thoughts  oftentimes  wander  to  dates  that  neever  happened  and  kisses  that  were  never  true.  now  though,  she's  shocked  —  wishes  for  nothing  more  than  to  step  back  and  profusely  apologize  like  there's  no  tomorrow  —  and  yet  she's  firmly  held  in  place  and  yone's  lips  find  her  own  and  and  and—

for  that  split  second  —  the  sweetest  she's  ever  experienced  —  the  world  stops.  there  is  no  errands  to  run  and  no  work  to  be  taken  care  of.  alune  closes  her  eyes  and  parts  her  lips,  sighs  softly  as  yone  tilts  his  head  back,  but  remains  close.  suddenly,  she's  stripped  off  all  the  words  she  wanted  to  yell  no  longer  than  a  moment  ago.

deer  caught  in  headlights,  eyes  of  a  doe  —-  alune  stares  at  yone  with  flushed  cheeks,  speechless,  the  only  hint  of  what  she  was  about  to  announce  —  a  lit  up  phone  screen  with  a  riot  games  e - mail  on  display.

Heartsteel Sett Boyfriend HCs

~Sett is love, Sett is LIFE. Don't get me wrong, I am barking and on all fours for all of these men but Sett holds a special place in my little heart~

P.S. Asks are open! I am open to requests! P.S.S. I am also open to other League characters, Arcane AU, etc. Just hmu :3

TW: Floof. So much floof. Pet names. You get the picture right? As always, enter at your own risk!

Sett is a l o v e r. PDA overload. Hugs? Always, without question, is up for that. Kisses? You bet your ass he will. Any second, no matter where you are, you could lean in for one and he will squeeze you up against him, and kiss you like his life depends on it. If anyone appears to be giving you some extra attention that he doesn't like, all this big guy has to do is walk up next to you (as if he isn't there already lol) and usually the person doing the thing is smart enough to know better than to continue. "Hey baby, come here. What, can't I kiss you? Let me kiss you. That's my good b/g."

Sett is second only to Ezreal in his joking capabilities. This man can JOKE, and although he is trying to joke with and or at you, he unfortunately tends to make a fool of himself because he is a massive dork. If you pull jokes on him, he doesn't really get upset or offended, but he will pretend to be. His goofy demeanor means he will put a hand to his chest acting all flabbergasted, then tackle you into a hug or onto the bed while calling you a dork. "Haha! You're so funny, but you know I've got skin of steel baby. Oh, you meant it? Yeah right! Comere!"

Sett is an absolute SUCKER for attention. He will eat it up, and if you aren't paying attention to him? You might as well be. He will pester you, throw you over his shoulder, basically DEMAND your attention. Since this is just how he is, you never have to be desperate for his attention either. If for some reason you do feel neglected, he will feel very bad about it. He will make it up to you no matter what that means. "I'm sorry I've been at the gym so much this week, band stuff has just been stressing me out. Hey, I have an idea! Why don't you go with me?!"

Kisses, hugs, and everything fun= SETT. He is a fiend. He is insatiable. He will grab you up and kiss you, no matter where you are. His kisses can be goofy, fun, or downright sensual. Sometimes, when Sett is feeling serious for once, he will take his time with you. Touching you sweetly- he is so strong sometimes he is scared he will hurt you by accident. But man, it's all worth it as soon as his lips touch yours. Sett grabs your wrist, pulling you flush against him. You have to tilt your head to see him, and as he gazes back down at you he tilts his head and studies your face. "You're everything, baby. Everything." He leans down, kissing you gently, before releasing your lips and hugging you even closer.

Sett doesn't like arguing. He gets so pent up sometimes, you fear for the guy he goes up against at his boxing matches. Most of the time, when it's petty little arguments, he will figure out some way to get your mind off of it. Every once in awhile when you actually feel upset about the situation, Sett will take his time to sit down and talk it out with you. He will grab your hands, nod while you explain your side, and carefully display his own. By the end of it, the two of you are usually kissing... and by the end of that- well... "I get where you're coming from, baby. I just think we could have approached the situation differently, is all. Promise you're not mad at me? Thank the Gods. Come on, I wanna make it up to you in the bedroom hehe," He says, grabbing you by the waist and tugging you toward your room.

Sett will be very sad when you leave, or when he has to leave. He is like a little puppy dog who cries when you go (although he doesn't actually cry). He will pout, however, and his irresistible face almost makes you quit everything and stay home just to appease him. When he leaves, he will ask you a thousand questions trying to egg on a reason to stay, but you know he has to get to band practice so that Yone doesn't come pounding down your door, so you usually just give him a reason to be excited to come home later. "I miss you already, baby! Please don't make me go. Nah, look Yone loves me! He won't be that mad... Comeonnnn. Fine, but later we are getting dinner, and you are going to be desert."

once  they  were  both  settled  comfortably  into  a  booth  that  wouldn't  draw too  much  attention  onto  them,  they  were  left  to  enjoy  each  other's  company  with  a  smile  on  their  faces.  Yasuo  began  first,  and  Yone  answered  in  kind.     ❝    i  can  tell  you  i  don't regret  leaving  Japan  to  join  up  with  them.  i  know  my  disappearance  was  a shock  to  a  lot  of  people,  but  i  really  think  i  made  the right  choice  resurfacing  just  to  come  together  with  them.  i  missed  making  music.     ❞    &&  unfortunately  in  spite  of  how close  the  two  of  them  were  to  one  another,  even Yasuo  was  barred  from  the  knowledge  of just why  Yone  suddenly  up  and  left  the  music  scene  all  those  months  ago.  it  was  a  well  guarded secret,  and  one  he  wasn't  willing  to  bring  to  the  surface  for  just  any  reason.  he  had  his  reasons  for  doing  so,  and  he  knew  that Yasuo  knew  it  was  nothing personal  against  him  to  not  share  it with  him.

soon  enough  the  producer  leaned  forward  in  his  chair;  elbow  on  the  table,  cheek  in  hand  as  a  smile  graced  his  features.  for  the  first  time  in weeks  he  actually  looked relaxed,  and  it  was  because  he  could  be  around Yasuo.  many  would  assume  his  exhaustion  was  because  of  his  bandmates' rowdy  nature,  and  while  that  assumption  held  some  margin  of truth  to  it,  it  was  largely  due  in  part  to  the  amount  of work  he  often  had  to  put  in.  he  did  the  most  out  of everyone  in  that  place,  and  it  was  purely  by choice.  you'd  never  hear  a  single  complaint  out  of  Yone's  mouth  for  it,  and  you'd  never  hear  him  hold  it against  any  of  them  either.  this  was  his  magnum  opus;  his  personal deliberation.  even  if  the  others  constantly  hounded  him  to take  it  easy,  he  rarely  ever  did,  so  it  was  a  small  fortune  that  Yasuo  showed  up  to  ensure  he would  do  just  that  for  once.

Yone always knew what to say, even when Yasuo was being purposefully vague and nonchalant about things that truly bothered him. His brother was always such a powerful and supportive force in his life, and despite the issues — the painful past they've both dealt with and gone through together — they still had each other. Yasuo was never the sort to say it outright, but he was beyond grateful, and felt such immense love for his brother. He owed so much of who he was today to Yone.

"Thanks," he spoke softly, a small smile growing on his face. Slightly sheepish, even. Despite his appreciation, he always struggled with receiving compliments, but he knew Yone was genuine. Yasuo gladly supported the weight Yone slung over his shoulder, hooking his own along his brother's back, encouraging the touch. "I'd like that! It's rare I get a whole day with you. Well, rare that you have a whole day to do with as you please, really." He chuckled, and began to guide the both of them down along the sidewalk and toward the goal in mind. "It's good to see you having some time for yourself for once, you should really do that more."

Yasuo contemplated giving Yone some good hearted ribbing about his schedule, but the occasion was such a rare treat he opted to relish in it instead. "Hitting up the new mall after we eat sounds like a great idea. I'll get lunch and that new pair of headphones for you, my treat. And I'm not letting you object." He snickers, giving Yone a good pat on the shoulder as they walked. "Just repay me next time, yeah?"

The walk to the new shabu place he mentioned took about ten minutes give or take, Yasuo guiding them both in as soon as they reached the doors. The interior was very traditional for what one might expect for an informal shabu restaurant, with plenty of seating and tables inlaid with their burners. Both of the men were ushered seats fairly quickly as it wasn't too populated. As soon as they sat, Yasuo naturally ordered some hot sake for them to both share.

Their server soon dismissed themselves to give them both time with the available choices, leaving them alone once more. Yasuo tossed Yone a smile, much bigger than earlier — one that reached his eyes. It was genuine and warm and loving, and a truly rare sight that only Yone ever really got to see. "I'm glad we get to spend time together like this, our careers both have us so busy. How has it been with your new group? I loved your debut."

it's  actually him.

videos  and  pictures  were  one  thing,  but  here  in  person...  Eden  quickly  realized  that  they  didn't  do any  justice  to  him  at  all.  and  heavens  above  if  they  don't  pass  out  right  here  on  the  spot,  it'd  be  a  miracle  if  they  survived  this  elevator  ride  crammed  in  so  close  to  him.  undoubtedly  he  hasn't  the single  clue  who  they  could  be   (   because  why  would  a rockstar  know  anything  about  an internet  idol  popstar   )  but  a  rabbit  could  dream  right?

there  were  so  many  emotions  going  through  their  mind  right  now;  outwardly  they  looked  calm.  perhaps  a  little  pale,  but calm  nonetheless.  eyes  fixated  forward,  hands  folded  neatly  in  front  of  them.  Eden  had  idolized  him  for months;  idolized  him  because  the  two  of  them  were alike. 

he   (   a  vastaya  proudly  in  the  limelight   )   and  they,   (   a  vastaya  just  rising  up  in  the  world   ).  they'd  always  wondered  if  there  was  a  place  for  someone  like them  in  the  world;  they  never  thought  their  kind  could  be  so  openly  harmonious  with  humans.  but  here  Sett  was,  singing  his  heart  out  alongside  five  of  arguably  the  most incredible  people  Eden  had  ever  seen,  and  it  gave  them hope.  hope  that they  too  could  be  so  widely  accepted.

these  thoughts  drift  away  as  the  sound  of  their  phone  begins  to  ring  in  their  ears,  and  they  fumble  to  pull  it  out  of  their  pocket.  in  the  process  of  doing  this,  the  miniature sett  figurine  keychain  they  had  attached  to  it  somehow  becomes detached  and  hits  the  carpeted  floor  of  the  elevator.  mortified,  Eden  dives  down  to  try  and  retrieve  it,  only  to  collide  the  top  of  their  head  with  his  painfully  hard,  i  might  add,  thigh.

stars  spring  out  in  front  of  their  eyes  and  they  drop  to  their  knees,  holding  their  poor  head  and  ears  as  tears  spring  to  the  corners  of  their  eyes.  they're  too  terrified  to  say  a word  to  him  about  it,  having  already  made  enough  of  a fool  of  themselves  to  last  a  lifetime.  if  they  died  right  here  and  now?  yeah,  they'd  be  satisfied  with  that.  pass  away  so  they  didn't  have  to  face  whatever  repercussions  were  about  to  come  their  way.  poor  thing.

❝    Ah....  sorry.  I  wasn't  listening,  would  you  mind  repeating  that?   ❞    Yone  actually  looks  a  tad  bit ashamed  by  this  admission,  and  even  offers  up  an apologetic  look.  It's  not  like  him  to  be  so rude,  and  not  especially  to  potential  fans   (   if  that's  what  this  person was   ).  He  preferred  to  leave  a  better  impression  than  this. | one liner for @prkh

chalk  it  up  to Sett's  good  heart  to  make  this  interaction that  much  more  difficult  than  it  needed  to  be.  at  one  point  in  time  Yone  might've  afforded  his  plight  a  little  more sympathy  than  he  did  right  now,  but  that  moment  had long  since  passed.  it  passed  the  moment  he  realized  Sett  was intent  on  keeping  Kayn  out  of  the  line  of  fire,  even  in  spite  of  his sheer  laziness.  Sett,  more  than  anyone,  should  know  how often  that  rockstar  liked  to shirk  his  duties  and  put  all  the  chores  on everyone  else.  he  had  a  knack  for  being  sly  about  it,  and  more  often  than  not  he  could get  away  with  it.  but not  today. not  today.  Yone  had  had enough  of  it  and  he  was  finally  trying  to  put  his  foot  down,  much  to  what  seemed  like  Sett's discomfort.  well,  life  was  notorious  for  being uncomfortable  and  sometimes  you  just  had  to  deal  with  it,  which  is  precisely  why  Yone  had  next  to no  sympathy  to  spare  for  his  burlier  companion.  he  liked  Sett;  he  adored all  his  bandmates,  but  sometimes  he  swore  they  could  be  so irresponsible  sometimes.  as  if  this  very  situation  wasn't  an  exact  example  of  that  right  now.

he  shifts  his  canned  cold  brew  from  one  hand  to  the  other,  keeping  his  stance  even  as  Sett  attempted  to  back  away.  he  wouldn't  get  far,  Yone  could  ground  him  well  enough  on  words  alone.    ❝    so  you  mean  to  tell  me  that  while everyone  else  is  hard  at  work,  it's  perfectly alright  for  Kayn  to  slack  off?     ❞    Yone's  tone  is  both  flat  &  precise,  making  this  perhaps that  much  more  terrifying  when  he  speaks.  a  silent  knife  cutting  through  marbled  edges  like  butter.     ❝    you're  alright  with  him  doing nothing  while  the  rest  of  us  shoulder  the  burden?     ❞    he  digs  deeper  still,  undoubtedly  with  the  intention  of  making  the  conversation  that  much  more uncomfortable  to  handle.  articulating  the  situation  in  this  particular  way  would  force  to  the  surface facts  that  were  otherwise  being  left  ignored. acknowledging  them  meant  defeat,  which  was  exactly  what  Yone  was  aiming  to  accomplish.  his  way  with  words  was  almost  as terrifying  as  his  prowess  with  a  sword   (   not  that  the  others  would  have  any  inclination  of  his double  life  behind  the  scenes   ).     ❝    you  can  protect  him  if  you  want,  but  it  isn't  just me  you'll  have  to  answer  to  when  the  others  find  out  you  let  him  do none  of  the  work  while  the  rest  of  us  did.     ❞

beads of perspiration dotted the forehead of sett whilst he fumbled with the collar of his shirt, his spheres nervously darting around. the air crackled with unspoken tension whilst his attempt at nonchalance became increasingly comical. ❝ so, uh, y' know how it is... ❞ he stammered, a forced grin plastered on his lineaments ⸻ he even rubbed the back of his neck, a telltale sign of his discomfort. ❝ but you're probably reading into it too much. kayn's just been burning the midnight oil, y' know? hard work, dedication, all that jazz. ❞ his heart raced whilst he took a step back, seeking an illusory refuge from the other's penetrating gaze. the widening gap betwixt them mirrored his futile attempt to distance himself from the truth that lingered in the air.

❝ look, yone, i get it. you're exhausted as well... but honestly, it's not my place to spill the beans. we're all tired, man. long hours, little sleep... it's the life of a rockstar. ❞ the much taller male laughed again, a forced attempt at casual dismissal. ❝ and, haha... y' know... it's not my business to tell. ❞ he continued to retreat, creating more distance, as if each step could somehow shield him from yone's scrutiny. ❝ just sayin'... just sayin'... ❞ the laughter that punctuated his words began to ring hollow, a brittle facade that threatened to crack under the weight of unspoken truths. several steps away, he threw up his hands in a defence that was more symbolic than practical. ❝ i know y' have... mmm... a good heart so... heh. ❞

@goldenfists liked for a heartsteel yone 🍃

hands  on  his  hips,  Yone  has  to  practically crane  his  neck  up  just  to  look  at  Sett   (   why  on  earth  is  he  so  damn tall?   ).  the  stern  look  on  his  face  isn't  for Sett,  it's  for  the  person  he's  currently  trying  to  track  down.     ❝    haven't  seen Kayn  anywhere,  have  you  Sett?     ❞    uh  oh!  that  dangerous  tone  of  his  eyes  doesn't  miss;  it  spells business  and  Kayn's  definitely  in hot  water  by  the  sounds  of  it.     ❝    he's  on  bathroom  duty  and  still  hasn't  cleaned  it  yet.   it's  been  three  days,  so  he  better  show  up  soon  or  i'm  going  to  make  him  wish  he  didn't.   ❞

"oh my god. oh my god. oh my god. you're ezreal from heartsteel aren't you?! omg, omg, omg, omg. can I take a picture with you? I LOVE you! the girls at the club are never going to believe me!" / harlow is ez's biggest fan ty

❝    huh...  wuh?  oh!     ❞    Ezreal'd  almost  completely  forgotten  he  was  out  in  public,  what  with  the  library  being  as  quiet  and  serene  as  it  was.  it  was  a strange  place  to  find  him  in,  but  he  wasn't  here  for himself  you  see;  oh  no.  he  was  on  a  mission,  an errand  for  Aphelios,  picking  up  a  rare  music  catalog  that'd  apparently  just  arrived  in  this  place  today.  supposedly  you  could  rent and  buy  books  in  this  particular  library,  and  it  was  a  place  that  Aphelios  usually  frequented  himself.  but  as  he  was  busy  looking  after  his  sister  today,  he'd  asked  Ezreal  to  go  out  and  fetch  it  for  him  instead.  &&  Ezreal  being  the charming  and reliable  person  that  he  was   (   he  wasn't   )   had  happily  agreed  to  come  out  and  get  it  for  him.  after  all,  what're  friends  for!?

he  whips  around  and  holds  a  finger  up  to  the  woman's  lips,  hunching  his  shoulders  just  a  little  bit,  almost  like  he's  afraid  of  being yelled  at.     ❝    shhhhh.     ❞    he  whispers,  making  a  shushing  motion  with  his  fingers;  it's  accompanied  by  a small  smile  that  seems  to  accept  her  invitation.     ❝    we  can  take  a  couple'a  photos,  you  just  gotta  be  quieter  about  it  ok?  i  don't  wanna  get kicked  out  again.     ❞    which  indicated  that  this  wasn't  his  first  time  here,  even  if  he  wasn't  a  frequent  resident.  he  was  in  a  bit  of  a  poor  standing  with  the  librarians,  what  with  his  knack  of  attracting  noisy  attention  and  disturbing  the  other  patrons.  make  no  mistake  though;  he  adored  the  spotlight  and  would  take  every  opportunity  he  could  to bask  in  it.     ❝    anyway,  take  as  many  as  you  like!  and  make  sure  to  tag  me  on  social  media,  'kay?  i  don't  wanna  miss  a  single  post  from  a  fan!     ❞    yep,  good  ol'  arrogant  Ezreal.
