Headcanons for characters Part 9: MC being heavily injured, The Main 6 from The Arcana

Hello guys!!!

Okay so I woke up today and chose pain. But somebody did request this tho!

Requests for headcanons, fics and drabbles are open! If you have any wishes or ideas, check out my rules for requesting (pinned post) or just pick anything from my prompt list!

Todays headcanons part will be The Main 6 (Asra, Julian, Nadia, Portia, Muriel, and Lucio) reacting to MC being heavily injured/at the brink of death. Again, I'm sorry, but angst is sometimes needed.

Warnings: injuries, blood, mentions of death, really angsty

Enjoy, and here's my masterlist full of luff in case you want to recover from this angst!

masterlist | rules for requesting | prompts list

Asra Alnazar ☾︎

A loud gasp fell from his lips. It wasn't, no, it couldn't be true. This kind of a sight only appeared in his darkest nightmares. He must be dreaming! That's right, he's dreaming, and this is all a bad dream and he'll wake up next to you. Only if that were true...

The huge bloodstain on your stomach made sure to tell them that you were hanging on by a thread. A second, a moment more and you'd be cold, lifeless. At the though, they screamed, running to you as fast as their legs would let them.

He blamed himself. If he never let you fight in this battle, in this war, if he never involved you in this entire mess and actually protected you like he promised, nothing like this would've happened! And to think that you've trusted him, and he let something like this happen.. A spear stabbed you in the stomach. Asra had his back turned, busy with fighting two other people, and at first, he didn't see what happened to you.

You were semi-conscious from the blood loss, as they fell on their knees in front of you. He went over your injury with his hand, and you could hear him muttering through tears: "Work, c'mon! Please, work!" He begged and pleaded for his magic to fix his mistakes. Suddenly, a light glow appeared. It meant that your cut was sown, but if you are going to be okay was still the question. You did lose a lot of blood.

"Oh Gods, MC.. I'm sorry, I'm so sorry! I.. I should have been there- I should have protected you! MC, please, I'm begging you, wake up!"

Julian Devorak ♥︎

He saw you lying on the ground, a couple of feet away from him. He couldn't believe it, nor understand it. What were you doing? What was wrong? Why weren't you moving? "MC, darling, what are you doing? Why are you laying there?"

Taking a couple of more scared steps towards you, he examined you top to bottom. This wasn't good. From a medical side, it wasn't good. You were acting like his patients when they were very, very sick, or injured. Or worse. "C'mon MC, this isn't funny anymore! Why are you-"

He was cut off by his own actions, as he touched your shoulder. Ice cold. In panic, he turned you around, realizing that your face was pale as a ghost. The red-head quickly unbuttoned your shirt, only to find a fetal, bloody wound spreading all the way across your ribs. Shit. This is the kind of a wound not many of his patients would survive. How could he help you now, when you are so far away from his office?

In absolute desperation, he shouted: "Please, somebody, help! Please, we need a doctor!" And looked around, to find something, anything, that would help you. Once he realized that nothing would work, he took off his coat and placed you in it.

"MC.. Doll, I.. I'm sorry... It could've been me, it should've been me! You didn't deserve this! Gods, MC, I couldn't protect you.. Please forgive me.."

Nadia Satrinava ♔︎

It happened on the square in front of the palace. Many people gathered to look at you, horrified. Everybody murmured and whispered about it, waiting for the doctor to come. However, the countess arrived first.

The second she saw the gathered people, she hurried to see what was going on. The frown on her face became a terrified look once she saw you lying on the cold tiles, bloody and almost lifeless. As soon as the people saw their countess staring at her consort, at her lover, in despair, they silently moved so she could get to you.

Nadia was too scared to speak. She carefully aproached you, kneeling next to your aching body. Through your fogy eyes you managed to see the outlines of her purple hair, and carefully asked: "N-nadi? Is it.. Is it you?" She placed a hand on your cheek, and through her own tears whispered: "Ohh.. It's me, sweetheart.. It's me.. You'll be fine, darling, I promise nothing will happen to you.."

She didn't know if she could keep that promise. Even though she would do anything to protect and help you, maybe there was nothing she could do. But, of course, she didn't want you to worry. If she couldn't actually do it, she at least could've given you hope

"Guards! Get me a doctor, perhaps Julian, or Asra, anyone! Please, MC.. Hold on darling, just a little bit longer.. I swear it'll be fine, you'll be fine.. I would rather die than let something bad happen to you.."

Muriel ❁

He searched for you for hours. Running around the palace, the town, everywhere... Where were you? His heart pounded in his chest as he ran and ran, trying to find you through the crowds of gathered people. The war was over, for everyone. However, the war won't be over for him as long as he doesn't see you alive and well.

The last place he searched was near his own home - in the forest. Where were you? Suddenly, something made him stop instantly. There was a body on the ground, not far from where he was standing. Was it..? Oh no.

Fear washed over him, as he ran towards you. Not you. Not the only person who cared about him, who understood him. Anyone else, just not you! He kneeled in front of where you almost lifeless body was, and gathered you in his arms. "MC... I'm sorry.." He breathlessly cried.

He was usually the calm one, the one who wouldn't get upset easily. But now, Muriel was breaking. He tried his magic, which only sealed the cut, but didn't help with your bloodloss or the infection. Gently, he picked you up from the ground and started carrying you to his hut. He'll take care of you. And make sure something like this will never happen again.

"It's okay, MC... It's going to be okay... I'll take care of you..."

Portia Devorak ☼︎

She couldn't believe it. When the doctors told her you were gravely injured, she didn't know how to process it. What does this mean? Would you be okay again? Would you even survive?

Walking up and down in the hallway in front of your room, she waited for her brother Julian to tell her what your state was. She feared the worst. The war truly was a horrible thing, and it took many souls. Just not your soul. Anyone else, Portia begged.

"Hey, Pasha... I just checked up on MC.. They.. They are doing fine, but their chances of surviving are not really great.." Tears slid down Portia's cheeks as she heard her older brother's words. "Can I see them..?" Julian simply nodded, giving you two privacy.

She entered the room, and saw you laying on the bed, you shallow breaths filling the room as you rested. The red-head couldn't see you injuries, but by the stitches and bandages that spread around your torso, she guessed it wasn't very good. She sat on the bed next to you, and placed a feathery kiss on your cold cheek.

"Rest, MC.. And please be okay... I promise, I'll bake you all of your favorite cookies and pastries! Please, just be okay..."

Count Lucio AKA Montag Morgasson ♕︎

His eyes filled with terror. How could this be? Why was he caring so much about you? Something inside him snapped once he saw your bloody torso. His heart sunk to his feet once he saw you on the hard ground. How did he let this happen?

He ran towards you as he saw red in front of his eyes. The sun was setting and the sky was red, his blodshot eyes were red, the blood on your chest was burning red. Lucio doesn't remember ever feeling that desparate, that scared.

The count looked at you, not knowing what to do. "MC.. I-" Never has such sadness washed over him. He fell to his knees, crying out in fear. His hands roamed your bloody body, wondering why he ever let something like this happen. What was this feeling? Why didn't he tell you earlier?

He picked you up, struggling to hold your limp body because of his metalic hand. He ran as far and as fast as his legs would let him with you in his arms, silently praying for you to be okay.

"Shit, MC- I.. I don't know why I didn't tell you.. Fuck, I love you, don't go.. Please don't leave me.."

the arcana: main six reacting to injured! reader

anonymous: Could u do m6 reacting to mc coming home injured? I want some hurt/comfort >:))

Warnings: talk of being injured, blood. if that bothers you or tiggers you in anyway, please scroll away! i want this to be a safe place, only :)

thanks for the request anon!! i hope you enjoy!! <3 requests for the kissing prompts and physical affection prompts are STILL OPEN. please send them in with the character of your choice (which could be any character from any series i write for) and i will create an imagine!! thanks and happy reading!!

- tries his very very best to stay calm

- you can see panic bubbling under the surface

- faust is on high alert

- slithers around your shoulders and squeezes you for a hug

- "friend! hurt!"

- doesn't immediately ask what happened, just gets you to a comfortable place to be cleaned up

- then, and only then, will he brave to ask what happened to you

- or who did this to you

- wipes the blood from your skin with very gentle swipes

- winces when you wince, and apologizes profoundly

- "Y/n, how did this happen? i thought you were just taking a quick trip to the market."

- "i fell in the market, tripped over a stone"

- "and nobody helped you?"

- in this case he's disappointed with the bystanders, but does not become angry

- in a situation where someone hurt you?

- oh god

- "Y/n, how did this happen? i thought you were just taking a quick trip to the market."

- "yeah, well, somebody had their eye on the same apple i picked up. somehow, though, they managed to push me to the ground and steal it from my hands."

- i don't even think he would know what to say

- and asra is not really the type to march out into the streets of vesuvia and seek to challenge the one who hurt you

- but he would certainly hold a grudge against whoever it was if he did find out

- and would feel absolutely awful about letting you get hurt

- his mind would race about the possibility of losing you again

- because he simply can't handle it

- and what if that person had been particularly violent or malicious? what if you had been taken??

- you'd have to comfort the hell out of him to make sure he knows that you're okay

- "asra, hey, i'm fine! i can handle myself, you know that"

- "you're right, and i know you're right. it's just hard"

- "it's still hard for me, too. the market still makes me a little nervous and i got caught a little off guard, is all"

- that would make him feel better

- would finish patching up your wounds and would make sure to bring you to julian the next day if they were too bad for him to fix or needed stitches

- would also create a special brew to help with the pain and ease you to sleep

- "why don't i go down to the market tomorrow?"

- "why? so when you pick a fight over apples, i can pay you back for all of this high quality medical treatment?"

- "well of course, surely you didn't expect all this tender love and care to be free" *wink*

- panicked doctor mode enabled

- immediately begins checking you over, asking questions

- something tells me it would be a head injury of some sort

- "oh darling, what happe- you're bleeding!"

- "julian, i'm okay! it's just a little scratch"

- "no no no you might need stitches, come sit down. i'll go get my kit!"

- there's really no use in arguing

- he has cold ass hands, so he tries to warm them up before he begins suturing the wound

- tries to be gentle, and his expert hands move quickly without any snagging

- "so, how did this happen?"

- his voice is literally trembling

- "well, i was in the clinic grabbing the list of ingredients we need for our next grocery trip and there was a puddle of... something on the floor. i slipped and hit my head on the corner of your desk"

- immediately thinks it's his fault

- like "oh shit i should have cleaned better that could have killed y/n and then what would i have done-"

- doesn't necessarily voice this, but you can tell by the silence that follows that he's feeling really guilty

- would kneel for you, head on your knees

- "y/n, i am so sorry"

- "juli, it's really okay, i should have watched where i was going"

- "i'll make sure to clean better from now on, okay?"

- would guard you throughout the night in case of concussion

- nurse juli <3

- but let's say someone had put their hands on you

- would patch you up the same way, and apologize profusely for not being there with you

- tuck you into bed and fetch mazelinka to keep an eye on you throughout the night incase of a concussion

- would most definitely be self destructive and seek that mf out

- maybe not successfully, but would try his hardest

- "i'll be back in the morning, get some rest"

- "I can find them myself if I want to, you know"

- embarrassed blush

- because he KNOWS you can take care of yourself

- "of course, but right now you're hurt. as your partner, i will do what must be done on your behalf darling"

- probably shows up the following morning with battle scars of his own

- the guards found you in the garden, passed out in the maze

- blood trickled down your arm, a large gash marking your bicep

- ran you up to the palace and immediately to the medical wing

- them]n nadia gets word

- the calm, collected queen act disappears

- abandons anything she's doing, anybody she's talking to

- "we will finish this at a different time, i have more important matters to attend to"

- she is so worried and it's honestly adorable

- very much giving "where tf are they?" energy

- god i love her so much

- anyways um

- asks the nurses over and over what happened, if you're okay, etc.

- watches the physicians and nurses like a hawk as they clean the wound and suture the cut

- and they're so intimidated lmao they never come face to face with her literally ever

- brushes your hair back from your face as they do so

- holds your hands

- would demand that you be brought to her sleeping chamber

- so that's where you wake up! how cute

- she's laying beside you, her brows furrowed

- maybe even her eyes are a little hazy

- "y/n, sweetheart, do you remember what happened?"

- patiently waits for your answer, you're still a little groggy

- you were either attacked by an animal and passed out from the fright

- or you were attacked by an armed person and was knocked out

- either way, the guards are on it

- nadia isn't letting whoever or whatever did this get away without a fight

- the palace is meant to be a safe haven for you

- for the both of you

- "well, don't you worry, we'll take care of that"

- you try to sit up but she won't let you

- "oh no, you must stay down, y/n. you are possibly concussed from the fall"

- "oh okay, sorry"

- "is there anything i can get you?"

- the countess of vesuvia, serving you in your time of need

- "just some water would be nice"

- "of course, i'll have some brought up right away"

- i literally feel like he would just start crying straight up

- cause like he has some problems anyway

- he big sad boi

- and you coming home to the hut bleeding from a gash in the arch of your foot is not helping

- picks you and carries you to the bed without a word

- just starts examining the cut

- inanna is also very concerned

- she licks the blood from the cut, she's trying to be helpful

- meanwhile muriel is stumbling around the hut looking for anything to stop the bleeding, disinfect it, bandage it, anything

- but he's not the best about keeping that stuff in stock

- keeps looking back at you with worry in his eyes

- he doesn't know what to do

- "muriel, let me see if i can contact asra. maybe he or julian can bring me a salve. i'm pretty sure i'm gonna need stitches"

- low-key makes him feel worse

- cause he feels like he's unable to care for you and keep your safe

- even tho this was just an accident

- he's breathing really fast, his anxiety creeping

- agrees anyway, but goes to get them himself

- "i'll be back soon, just keep this piece of cloth pressed against it"

- cause you're bleeding like a lot

- inanna stays behind

- he returns very quickly with julian in tow, though he doesn't look happy about it

- leaves the hut without another word

- julian gets to work immediately

- "so, you cut your foot i see"

- smartass.

- "yeah, muriel always tells me to put on shoes when i walk in the woods but i love to feel the grass beneath my feet"

- julian chuckled at this

- "and i'm assuming you, what, stepped on a rock?"

- "...yeah, sliced it right open"

- after julian is done cleaning up the cut, he tells you to just stay off of it for a while and make sure it doesn't get infected

- once he's gone, muriel trudges back into the hut

- "muriel, baby, it was just a cut it's not a big deal"

- but his eyes look hurt, and you beckon him toward the bed

- "hey," your hands on his cheeks, "i'm okay, really"

- "sorry, i just got scared. blood is still a trigger for me and since you got hurt in my woods, i felt like it was my fault"

- "muriel, of course it wasn't your fault"

- he really needed a hug

- after this instance, he made sure to keep medical supplies in the hut and you promised to try and wear shoes in the woods more often than not

- "i'll try my best to be more careful. deal?"

- sweet lil smile

- "deal."

- "oh my god, y/n, what the hell happened??"

- you were tending the garden

- without her supervision

- and the garden sheers might have sliced into the palm of your hand

- deep

- brings you over to the sink and runs water over the cut, covering it with a towel when the dripping blood had been washed away

- girl is on the move

- cause she knows what to do! love that

- low-key a main reason why julian managed to live as long as he has

- pepi is curiously perched atop one of the counters, peering down

- finds her personal first aid kit she had stashed in the bathroom

- guides you over to sit on the counter while she tries to figure out what to do

- "damn, you really cut yourself, y/n"

- "sorry! i think i just got a little carried away"

- she giggles at that, though she is still worried about the fact that it won't stop bleeding

- gently wraps the cut in gauze and adheres it together

- places a kiss to your fingertips

- "all done! no more gardening for you!"

- "hey, why not?"

- "well you don't want that cut to open back up again and again, do you?"

- "no"

- "alright then," she smiled, moving to put away the first aid kit again, "and we're going up to the palace medical wing first thing tomorrow morning to make sure it's not infected"

- eye roll

- "yes ma'am" you mocked

- even though you know it's just because she loves you

- "but since you got hurt, you want me to bake you some cookies?"

- "only if you let me eat the dough!"

- good god do i love this man

- but he is so self-absorbed it's actually insane

- and I feel like he wouldn't even notice at first

- cause he's too focused on himself

- gazing into the mirror without a care in the world when you walked in

- "y/n, thank goodness you're home, how do you feel about these pants?"

- you just hobbled to the nearest seat, hand resting over the gash on your knee

- mercedes and melchior were lazing across a rug at the base of his mirror, their attention set on you

- "u-um, yeah, they look good"

- literally just trying not to bleed out, over here

- "good? oh really, now, y/n don't they look amazing?"

- "yes, they look ama- ow, damnit"

- then he turned around

- immediate shock and worry! oh no oh no y/n is hurt!

- mercedes and melchior walked over first, whining as they took in the cut, brushing around the edges

- lucio raced over, squatting down in front of you, and began examining the cut

- "hey, hey, what happened?"

- "i accidentally tripped on my walk in the garden and scraped my knee on the cobblestone"

- he was lightly touching around the cut, gauging how sensitive it was

- when you flinched he stopped, looking into your eyes with a soft "sorry"

- "i think i need to go to the palace infirmary"

- "oh there's no need, i can take care of you!"

- you were not convinced he could take care of you, at least not well

- "uh, lucio, are you sure?"

- he looked slightly offended, at that

- "you know, y/n, i did fight in battles at one point. i have not only tended to my own wounds, but the wounds of others, as well"

- you giggled at the thought

- "much to your protest, though, i'm sure"

- he moved to the small cabinet of medical supplies in the ensuite to your bedroom, returning to your side with it in hand

- "at points, but i don't mind helping you in the slightest"

- for all of his antics, his soft side was enough to make you fall in love all over again

- and although i know he would take care of you in literally any situation, i can't say for certainty that he would stick around and place nurse lucio for long if a person had hurt you

- attacked you

- much like nadia, the guards would be sent out without a second thought, lucio leading the pack in the search for you aggressor

Note

4, 5, 9, and 11 from the recent prompt for Milenko and Nana!

ty!!

OC asks - Open

4. What are the OC’s favorite plants, if they have any? Specific flowers, cactuses, trees, etc.

Milenko's favourite flower are orchids, and his favourite trees are Olive trees.

Anatole's favourite flower are irises, and any tree that looks older than he will ever be.

5. Was answered here!

9. What is the OC’s favourite food to cook? To eat in general?

Milenko's favourite food is Baklava, but his favourite thing to cook is Kibbeh with Baba Ganoush. He has the best spice blending game out of all my ocs. His wat is also really good, though he gets his injera from his grandparents on the Tesfaye side, or from a purveyor, as he insists he's not very good at making those.

Anatole's favourite thing to eat, in the entire whole wide world, is, and will always be, cake. He wants coffee cake right now, as we speak. However, his favourite thing to cook is risotto. In modern AU, this is his go-to dinner date menu, specially with butter seared scallops if his date/partner doesn't have dietary restrictions.

He also likes (and knows how to!) laminate dough.

11. Who is the OC’s best friend, if they have one? Who is the OC’s partner? Someone they really look up to?

Milenko's best friend is his roommate Octavia Rey Vasconcellos, though he'd also count Amparo, Anatole and his uncle Atanasie as his best friends. Arcanaverse his partners are either Asra or Nadia, but OC wise he's also in long term relationships with @asras3rdeye's Coco, @valhallanrose's Astoria, and @into-the-daniverse's Alec (the last two plus kids). He looks up to his mothers a lot, to Atanasie too, and he looks up to Anatole a lot as well.

Anatole looks up, ironically, to Valeriy a lot. A lot. His relationship with his uncle is special to him, though he's not the only person he looks up to. He looks up to his parents, @ilyamatic's Mustafa for his work as a political analyst, his own tutor as he grew up (her name is Rosario Aster), his aunt Cassiopeia and his paternal great grandmother Elysian Radosevic. He has a tendency to look up to more to women rather than men, despite I'm naming more men here, because it's truly just the men in his family and Mustafa.

Usually, some of the most important opinions when he wants an opinion will come from Louisa, his mother, and Milenko.

Aside from his cousins his best friends are Dani's Alec and Emma's Zelda, along with my own ocs Medea (she/her) and Leonore (he/him).

He has a supermarket list of partners tho:

Julian in arcanaverse

Navneet Kaur (Leonore's older brother) in the True Julesverse

Abby's Andrico

Dani's Leon

Emma's Tamryn

@arcanecadenza's Dante

Coco's Oz'mandias

@atypicalacademic‘s, my beloved, Haider

#aelius anatole #milenko #ty again!!

Oblivious MC - Headcanon

Arcana Characters (Main 5) x MC

*Nadia in an upcoming post*

A/N: Yay, more headcanons! I know these are slow but the new school system is kicking my butt. This next one is for the amazing @genderless-plant-likes-thearcana! They come up with lots of cool ideas for prompts to send to various writers, so you should definitely check out their profile! They came up with a super cute prompt this time; an MC who is super oblivious to their LI’s romantic interest in them! I really appreciate the specifics added in the request, they really helped me out! Thank you! While you’re reading you may notice the headcanons get a bit goofier as they though ;) my bad, but this prompt was too fun. Another side note: I ran out of bullet points and couldn’t fit Nadia into this post, so she’ll be getting her own! As always, I recognize Asra’s non-binary gender orientation but will be using he/him pronouns :) Please let me know if there are any spelling or grammar mistakes! Requests are open :)

❤️Julian❤️

He’s so in love with you

Like, more in love with you than he ever has been with anyone else

But he’s also insecure as heck

So when he starts dropping obvious hints about wanting to be in a relationship with you, and you just don’t get it...

He starts to think that maybe you only like him as a friend

I mean, he’s not being subtle at all

He flirts with you constantly, he sends you winks in the middle of a theatre rehearsal, he almost always has a hand on your should or back to guide you through the busier parts of Vesuvia...

Once he even stood up on a table in the middle of the Rowdy Raven and sang you a love song at the top of his lungs

You just thought he was being dramatic, as always

To you, Julian was an incredible friend

I mean, you maaay have had a teeeensy little crush on him, but he was such a sweetheart that you didn’t want to ruin the friendship you two had

You went on adventures together, you attended his theatre performances, and he did his best to support you in all your magical endeavours

Overall, the dynamic the two of you had was already incredible

And neither of you really wanted to ruin that

When Julian started thinking that maybe you only liked him as a friend he decided to be “selfless” and simply keep his feelings to himself

Of course, that would never work for long

Julian was a man of passion and, possible consequences be damned, he wanted you to know how he felt

So one day, when the two of you were at the Rowdy Raven together and he was tipsy enough to do something stupid, he stood up on the table and loudly announced his undying love for you

Believe me, even for Julian it was dramatic

It was a long speech about how amazing he thought you were, including vivid descriptions about each and every thing about your personality, appearance, and hobbies that he loved

So needless to say you needed cut him off a bit early so that the two of you wouldn’t be there all night

Unfortunately the first thought in your mind upon hearing this was “oh my stars he’s under some kind of spell”

You immediately dragged him out of the tavern and back to the magic shop to find some sort of cure, muttering theories under your breath the entire way

Julian, of course, was not under a spell and was feeling rather put out by your response to his confession

He wasn’t entirely sure where the two of you were going because you hadn’t bothered to share your suspicions with him (why would you? You thought he was being influenced by magic)

When the two of you reached your shop and you started skimming through books he finally asked what you were doing, seeming understandably surprised by the turn of events

You hesitated a bit, not knowing if it was worth explaining this to him, but settled on a brief explanation of “you’re under some kind of love potion and I need to break it” with a side of “please don’t do anything dumb while I try to help you”

Julian of course was, again, fairly shocked to hear this

A spell? What spell? He had been in love with you for months! There was no way it was a spell!

With his mind racing a mile a minute he finally realized what was going on

You were just really, really, REALLY oblivious to his feelings

This revelation caused him to laugh out loud, likely startling you out of your searching

When you looked at him in confusion and a bit of concern he only laughed louder, bending over and wheezing a bit

It took a while for him to calm down, even with your panicked response to his sudden change of emotion

When he was finally done laugiinh and had wiped the tears from his eyes he gave you the biggest grin he was possible of giving

He did his best to explain that no, he was not under a spell, no, he was not joking, and yes, he really did love you as more than a friend

He swears, the look on your face was worth the emotional rollercoaster he had been through that night

And you? Well, you probably needed a minute to process everything that he had just revealed

Of course, the feelings of love were mutual and you said as much when you could finally form words again

Julian was thrilled to hear that you loved him back

The two of you would be happy for many years to come, and even if Julian occasionally teased you about your obliviousness you could never truly be mad at him for it

🧡Portia🧡

She’s super open about just how much she loves you

Portia sees no reason to hide her true feelings, so she’s often very blunt about them

She’ll drop a “you’re gorgeous” or “I wanna kiss you” into a casual conversation like it’s nothing

But you somehow manage to not pick up on it

So of course, Portia doubles her efforts

She bakes you cookies in the shape of hearts, bring you nice flowers on her days off, and take you on what she considers dates, just waiting for you to pick up on her love for you

And yet none of this gets through to you

You think this is how Portia is with everyone

She was cheeky from the moment you met her, so when she tells you she wants to kiss you you just assume she’s joking

Everything else seems to just be an awesome friendship

Obviously Portia is super cute, and obviously dating her would be tons of fun, but there’s obviously NO WAY she could ever be interested in you like that... right?

Portia eventually starts to think you’re just messing with her

There’s no way you could be that oblivious

You definitely had to know she was into you, and you were just playing hard to get

She knows you have feelings for her too, the two of your wouldn’t be as close as you were otherwise

But, no offence, she’s getting a bit impatient

So she decides to just do what needs to be done

The two of you were walking through the market near your shop one day when she grabbed your arm to stop you in the middle of the crowd

She turned you so that you were facing her, looked you straight in the eye, and told you she loved you with the most serious expression you had ever seen on her face

As oblivious as you may be, there was no way for you to misinterpret this as anything other than the truth

Except there was

You assumed she was under a love spell

After the initial shock of finding out your friend was being influenced by magic was over, you immediately dragged her back to your shop without a word

Portia kinda thought you two were going home to make out and she was totally down with it

But when you entered the shop and started digging through your supplies, looking for something, she realized that maybe SHE had misinterpreted

She asked you what you were doing and nearly burst out laughing at the response

You thought she was under a spell? Seriously? You were actually that oblivious the whole time?

She thought it was the most hilarious thing she had heard in a long time

Eventually she managed to calm down enough to reassure you that, no, she was not under a spell

But of course you didn’t believe her, and thought that it was the spell talking

You went back to searching for an antidote while Portia continued trying to prove to you that she was genuinely in love with you

She listed the first time she realized she loved you, the first time she had said it to you to no response, the first time she had wanted to kiss you

She talked about how much she loved every part of you, from your personality, to your hobbies, to your insanely cool magic

Portia was nowhere near as dramatic as her brother could be, but she was very open about her love for you

Finally, you seemed to realize that she was telling the truth (no magic involved)

In turn, you confessed your feelings toward her as well

She gave you a bit of a sly grin and asked how she could be certain you weren’t under some magic spell

To this you responded by kissing her

So I guess she was right when she assumed you two were going back to your place to make out

The two of you were happy from then on, although Portia never let you forget just how dense you were

💛Lucio💛

It’s hard to imagine anyone could be so oblivious about his feelings

Lucio is the most in-your-face about his love for you

He leaves absolutely no room for doubt, which means it’s even more incredible that you don’t seem to get it

He has asked you to marry him about half a dozen times and you keep??? Laughing?? About it????

Doesn’t understand what’s happening

Nobody has ever done this sort of thing to him before, so his mind just blanks if he thinks about it too much

I mean there’s no way you could dislike him, right? You definitely return his feelings... RIGHT?

He’s insecure, but he’ll never admit that

Instead, he chooses to continue his over-the-top dramatic proposals and confessions until you say yes

On the other hand, you don’t really know what’s happening either

You know that Lucio’s a bit... strange, but this is a lot even for him

You start to think that maybe it’s his way of dealing with his feelings now that Nadia’s left him

So you decide to keep being a great friend to help him get through it!

And if that means wading through a bunch of strange emotional obstacles, then so be it!

(Lucio’s in the background banging his head against a wall in frustration)

It’s not like he doesn’t enjoy just being friends with you; he loves having someone around who genuinely cares about him

It’s just that he wants more

He hires people to build giant statues of you (which may be in poor taste, but who cares), he buys or sponsors all of your favourite shops, he always makes sure you get the best of everything

To you, this just seems like Lucio overcompensating for his previous “oopsies”

But one day it occurs to him that maybe you don’t understand his feelings because he’s going about it the wrong way

You’re pretty much immune to his dramatic proposals, so maybe he should try the opposite

So he put together a little plan

It wasn’t a particularly special night; no big occasion to be celebrated

He took you out to the balcony and leaned against the railing, looking oddly serious for someone who had no concept of emotional maturity

He took his time to prepare himself before speaking rather slowly and quietly in comparison to his usual tone

Lucio told you that he loved you, and he left no room for arguement

He didn’t embellish his words in any way, knowing that something simple would be the most likely way to get your attention

And boy did it work

You immediately assumed he was under some sort of spell

I mean Lucio? Acting like a normal person?? No way

You panicked right away and made a run for it, leaving Lucio behind on the balcony in your hurry to leave

Lucio, of course, was shocked, and more than a little offended to have been left so abruptly

People didn’t just leave him places without a good explanation

So obviously he chased you, yelling after you as you did your best to navigate the palace on your way to the library

Unfortunately for you, Lucio is surprisingly athletic and managed to catch you before you reached the door

He untactfully grabbed your arm, which caused you to scream, which caused him to scream, which caused everything to become even more of a mess than before

The two of you were just standing in the middle of the hall, screaming at each other

You wanted to find a way to free Lucio from whatever spell he was under, and Lucio wanted to know why you were running away

When you both calmed down (you being the first, of course), you explained your theory, which wounded Lucio’s ego even more than before

Lucio in return, replied in a not-so-polite manner, asking if you really thought he was stupid enough to be put under some dumb spell

Yes

Yes you did

Lucio had to explain his entire thought process behind confessing in such a normal way, which was pretty embarrassing from his perspective

But to you, it likely came across as sweet as it finally dawned on you that yes, he really was in love with you

The two of you probably had to immediately follow up the confession with a talk about whether or not he was serious about getting married

He was, but he didn’t want to make you feel awkward so he denied it

You two agreed to take things a little slower than he originally planned

The relationship was slightly awkward for the first few days, because neither of you quite understood what had happened the night of the confession

But either way, the two of you were happy, and that was all that mattered

(Although, when Lucio eventually asked you to marry him again it was just as chaotic and messy as the first time)

💚Muriel💚

Oh no, this won’t end well

Muriel is almost the epitome of insecure, so flirting is pretty much impossible for him

He tried a couple of times to be more forward, but when you didn’t respond to his advances he quickly backed down

He didn’t want to overstep, and immediately assumed you just wanted to be friends

Although, admittedly, he has seen other people flirt with you, and you don’t respond to them either

So maybe you’re just not interested in relationships? Or maybe you’re just as bad at flirting as he is

Either way, as much as he loved you, he didn’t push

From your perspective it would seem like Muriel just wanted to be friends

And frankly, anyone else around you would think the same thing

There was nothing particularly romantic about how Muriel acted around you

Arguably the boldest thing he was doing was spending so much time with you

But to you, this was simply a friendship

And of course, you greatly valued Muriel’s friendship

Once you had gotten past the rough exterior, you found that he was a giant sweetheart

He carved small wooden figures for you, and didn’t seem to mind spending time with you

Inanna loved you too, so that was a bonus

Your friendship with Muriel probably lasted much longer than it would have if either of you had any sense of romance

Neither of you tried to take things further because both of you were terrible at flirting and being flirted with

Eventually someone (Asra) had to step in and give Muriel a little push

Asra had known you for a long time, so he alerted Muriel to how oblivious you were and how to best confess his feelings

Muriel didn’t really want to confess at that point, because he didn’t want to make things awkward between you two if something went wrong

But his love for you outweighed his anxiety and he decided to do it anyway

It was a rather cold night, and the two of you were in his hut

You were both curled up by the fire (plus Inanna, of course), and you were telling Muriel a story about a particularly annoying customer from the day before

When you finished the story, a comfortable silence fell between you (which was something Muriel had always appreciated; silence with you was never awkward)

That was when Muriel took his chance and quietly told you he loved you

Except he said it too quietly and you didn’t hear him over the sound of the fire

I mean, you saw his lips move, and therefore asked him to repeat himself, but it was still quiet

Muriel hadn’t anticipated this, and accidentally repeated it in a voice that was much too loud for such a peaceful night

He immediately winced in embarrassment, only to be startled from it when you screamed

He had been anticipating rejection, but he thought a scream may have been a bit dramatic

But of course, you didn’t see it as a rejection; you thought Muriel was under a love spell

Why else would your quiet, anti-social friend suddenly confess to something you had never even seen him hint at before?

And more importantly, who had out the spell on him? Most people didn’t know about him, so it was either someone close to him, or someone EXTREMELY powerful.

You didn’t know which one was worse

You leaned forward, cupping his face in your hands and staring into his eyes, promising that you would help him

This only succeeded in confusing him, the poor man

He didn’t know what you were talking about, and you were starting to freak him out a little

When he asked if you were alright, you started to look confused too

You reminded him that he was the one under the spell, not you

Cue a chorus of confused “what?”s being exchanged by two confused people

In the end, Muriel realized that you had thought he was under a spell when he suddenly confessed

He blushed as red as a tomato and did his best to string together enough words to explain to you that he wasn’t

He genuinely loved you

He also quietly cursed Asra for making him confess, which suddenly helped a lot of pieces fit together for you

You nodded along and agreed that Asra’s meddling was problematic in this case

In the end the two of you spent a fair portion of the night just talking out your feelings and realizing that maybe you would like to be more than friends

Both of you were blushing a lot throughout the entire thing, and years later when the two of you were happy together, you mutually decided to never bring up how you had gotten together in the first place

Asra, however, had somehow found out, and was determined to never let either of you live it down

💙Asra💙

Subtlety? Never heard of it

Asra is the absolute best at letting you know just how much he loves you

Even despite your obliviousness, you are fully aware that he loves you

And of course, you love him back!

How could you not?

Except, the way you see it... it’s platonic love

And Asra is 100% okay with that!

You two share a heart, so he fully understands that you view the live that you two share as platonic

This doesn’t really bother him; as long as you’re alive and happy, that’s all that matters

He’s perfectly content to pursue a strong friendship with you

But of course, being the cheeky legend that he is, he has to slip in some flirting and teasing once in a while

He’ll wink at you in the middle of work, casually brush against you while passing you in the shop, and hold your hand as often as possible

But of course, you view this as friendship

Who doesn’t cuddle with their best friend literally every night? That’s totally normal

You couldn’t ask for a better friend than Asra; he’s always there when you need him and he somehow always seems to know how you feel

You’re incredibly grateful to know him, and you feel safe and comfortable living in the same space as him

Yep, definitely only friendship feelings

He shows his love in little ways to you every day

The two of you live together, so of course you will occasionally have a petty arguement and try to stay seperate for a while, but that doesn’t stop him

He’ll “forget” which chores are yours and do a couple for you, he’ll make your favourite drink “by accident” and then claim he isn’t thirsty, and he’ll casually send Faust into the same room as you if he thinks you’re crying

Overall, just a great partn- I mean friend

He doesn’t really feel the need to confess to you, but if he notices that you’re starting to feel a more romantic attraction toward him then he’ll definitely take advantage of that

If you only wanted to be friends, then, well, that was one thing

But if you wanted to be something more... then he was definitely more than okay with that as well

Asra didn’t exactly plan out how he would confess to you, and instead waited for what he felt was the right moment

He knew it would come eventually, and there was no real rush

So when the two of you were travelling together, and you were both stargazing late at night, the feeling struck him

You had just settled down from laughing at a joke when he gently tilted your chin so you were looking into his eyes

He told you he loved you, but there was certainly something more personal this time

But of course you were incredibly oblivious so you just grinned and said it back, not really thinking about it too much

Of course Asra knew you had missed the point, so when you went back to looking at the stars he propped himself up so he was leaning over you a bit and repeated it

This probably confused you a bit, but you said it back again, thinking that maybe this was some kind of game

He held back a laugh and tried again, this time putting more emphasis on the “love” part

You missed it, and repeated it back

At this point he was trying not to laugh, and knew that he had only one more try before he wouldn’t be able to hold it back

This time he tried explaining more thoroughly

He told you he loved you romantically; as in, a love that was more than platonic. Romantic, soulmate kind of love. Not friendship. Please get it this time.

Your mouth formed a perfect “o” as you finally got his point

For a brief moment, Asra felt relief, thinking that he had finally gotten his point across

Instead he received immediate and extreme panic as you quickly shoved him away. While screaming.

This certainly hadn’t gone as planned

He was desperately trying to calm you down while you rambled about every place you two had been on your trip, trying to locate a time where Asra could’ve been put under a love spell

Asra, of course, found this hilarious, and started laughing harder and harder while also trying to calm you down

This only caused you more distress, and soon there were tears streaming down your face while you tried to convince him that no, this wasn’t funny

He knew you were genuinely concerned about him, and he genuinely was trying to stop, but this had come out of nowhere and he didn’t really know how to respond either

Eventually, you both managed to calm down (but only the kind of calm where he would occasionally look at you and burst into giggles again)

He did his best- between giggle fits- to explain to you that he genuinely did love you and he definitely wasn’t under any spell

He told you that he had loved you for years, and that he always would

He also subtley pointed out that he had been flirting for years and you had just been completely oblivious

No confession would truly be complete without a bit of teasing

You probably felt a bit embarrassed, but he reassured you that it was just a part of your charm

Of course, you told him you felt the same, and the two of you went back to watching the stars, this time just a bit closer than before

From then on, not a whole lot changed in your relationship

The two of you were practically in a romantic relationship already, so really all that was different was a few more kisses and a slightly different intention behind the “I love you”s the two of you shared

Hi,can you do 1,2 and 54 for Yuqi but can the reader comfort her during a rainstorm since I remember she’s scared of rain and thunder :((

Comfort For The Night

sypnosis comforting Yuqi during a thunderstorm !! genre fluff, comfort warnings rain, thunder, Yuqi is scared of thunder, established relationship scenarios no. 1 resting their head on the other's shoulder and no. 2 listening to each others heartbeat dialogue no. 54 "It's just rain word count 0.4k

A/n: I really didnt know Yuqi was scared of thunder though I tried to make it as accurate as possible. Ty for requesting and enjoy^^

Through the summer season there are barely any wild rains or thunderstorms, but that doesn’t mean that at least one won’t happen. As you drove in your car from work, it started to drastically rain. Though you were close to your apartment, you were still worried about one thing and that was Yuqi.

Ever since you know about Yuqi, she has always been afraid of thunderstorms and what she feared even more was being alone while the storm was happening. You hurriedly took your things from the car after parking and hurried inside the building. A little rain soaked your clothes, but that didn't matter now.

You entered the elevator and pressed the button to the 3rd floor where your apartment was located. You were holding the apartment key so tightly and your heart was beating so fast. ‘I hope she’s okay…’ you furrowed your eyebrows at the thought. Raising your head you feel the elevator stopping and slowly opening its door. You hurried to your front door as you knocked on it. Yuqi and you made a secret signal by knocking on the door so you know it's not someone you don't know.

No answer. Furrowing your eyebrows in worry even more, you took the key and unlocked the door as you stepped inside. There was no light in the rooms, only lighting from the storm lit up the presence occasionally. Looking around there was no trace of Yuqi or even a sound except the pouring rain. "Yuqi?" You called out her name softly, but there was no answer. The place felt peacefully quiet and your chest tightened with worry. Quickly, you walked through the rooms, checking the living room and kitchen, but she wasn’t there.

Then, you noticed the bedroom door slightly opened. Walking up to your shared bedroom you softly pushed the door open as you found her curled up on the bed. She was holding your favorite pillow tightly against her chest as she laid on the bed, facing the window. Her eyes were squeezed shut, and you could tell she was trying to ignore the heavy storm. Her fear was almost unbearable to watch, and it made your heart ache.

"Yuqi," you whispered gently, walking closer to her. Sitting down next to her as your hand brushed through her lower arm softly. She opened her eyes at the sound of your voice, her expression softening just a little. Without thinking twice she immediately pulled you into a tight embrace.

She buried her face in your chest, her body trembling slightly as another thunder fired. Gently smiling, you hug her back as you rest your head on top of her head, letting Yuqi listen to your heartbeat. It was one of the things that could calm her down during these types of events.

"It's just rain," you whispered softly, trying to soothe her. Your hand stroked her hair, and you could feel her start to relax, even if just a little. Step by step, you will be there for her until she’s finally relaxed completely. "I'm here, okay? You’re not alone." Your grip on her back tightened slowly.

She didn't say anything, but you felt her nod against you. Swiftly, she shifted, laying her head on your shoulder. You could feel her breath against your neck, calming down now as she listened to the steady rhythm of your breathing. The storm outside might have been loud, but when Yuqi was in your embrace, everything felt right. You stayed like that, holding her close, letting her know she was and always will be safe with you.

hello!!!! i love your writing style so much, and your characterization of the M6 is fantastic!!! i was wondering about a headcanon for an MC that plays an instrument?

The Arcana HCs: When MC plays a musical instrument

~ honestly I don't know why I haven't done this one already. thank you for the appreciation anon, it's always good to know I'm on track! enjoy - brainrot ~

Julian

He thinks it's the most romantic thing, which regularly sends him into a "I'm too attracted to MC to function" spiral

He plays the vielle himself, and is determined to perform a beautiful duet with you regardless of how well they pair with each other

If you have the kind of instrument naturally suited to his vielle, wonderful!

If you don't, never fear. He's never composed a musical piece before, but he'll take a crack at it with varied success

He can also sing along if that doesn't work out

Heaps you with compliments whenever you play and always encourages you to pursue your skills as far as you want to

More than ready to gather the entire South End to listen to you play if you so much as mention a semi-public performance

You're hesitant to do this because you've known him to get worked up from watching you perform and the roguish grin he gave you when he promised to behave doesn't convince you at all

Malak, being a crow, can and will imitate your music. This annoys Julian immensely

Asra

Loves it when you play. Wherever and whenever it happens, they'll pause whatever they're doing and watch you with the most adoring, enchanted gaze

Canonically the best dancer of the M6, if you get him in the right mood he might dance along

This is very rare because it means they have to get up from their pillow pile, but it's possible because they like feeling your eyes on them

One time, he danced while his parents were over. Salim joined him and it became the funkiest performance you've ever seen

Very curious about what kind of magic you could do with this

Summoning? Enhancing? Hypnotizing?

More than willing to be your test subject, even for the less advisable ideas. Sometimes you think they might have a little too much faith in your abilities

Will take you to concerts if you're traveling together to broaden your horizons

If they're by themself, they'll keep any eye out for any unusual music written for your instrument and bring it home

Faust likes to bop, wriggle, and blep along

Nadia

Is very content to sit and watch you play during her down time

She loves studying the way your music affects you - how your facial expressions shift with the tone of the music, the subtle changes in posture, your nimble hands

Jumps at any opportunity to play her organ along with you

If it's an uncommon pairing she will interview any traveling musicians for well-written duets

If you prefer to keep music as a hobby, she will respect that

But if you want to develop your skills, she'll have a list of tutors for you to choose from on her desk. You have talent! It's good to pursue that!

In a similar vein, she'll never pressure you to practice, but she'll bring it up frequently

It's really a covert way of requesting that you play for her

It goes without saying that any and all of your musical needs will be met. New sheet music? Cleaning supplies? A whole new instrument? Say the word and it's yours

Chandra has been known to subtly perch nearby to listen in

Muriel

He's not used to this much noise in the woods

Why is there so much noise in the woods

Oh, it's you. This is kind of ... nice, actually. Maybe he can get used to some extra noise in the woods

He eventually finds that work goes more smoothly when there's something to listen to

He might bring it up once or twice that he doesn't mind you practicing in the same clearing as him while he chops wood, or clears part of a path, or works on a charm

If he doesn't have that excuse he'll just pull your instrument and music out and leave it somewhere visible in case you feel prompted to play it

Listening to you play will remind him of some of the sounds he has vague memories of hearing from his early childhood. He'll start trying to collect information on Kokhuri instruments and music

Very willing to involve you in that project, but only if you're interested

You don't know how, you don't know why, but regardless of the instrument you play, it always puts Inanna to sleep

Portia

She thinks it's fantastic

Being an ambassador means lots of time on the boat between countries. This is a great way to pass it

She doesn't play an instrument herself, but she can and will sing along as loudly as she has to to be heard

Which means that, between learning pieces that work with a human voice, and being on a ship, you learn to play for a lot of sea shanties and ballads

You're quite popular with the sailors for the free entertainment as well (whether that's your talent, or Portia's squeaky high notes)

Some of them play as well, and will pick out tunes with you by ear so you can play the same piece together

Anytime Portia hears a new style of music on your travels, she'll ask if you can play it too with the utmost confidence in your abilities

She also invites you to play at formal gatherings. She doesn't necessarily expect you to say yes every time, she just thinks anyone would be lucky to hear it

It always gives Pepi the most intense zoomies

Lucio

At this point, your musical skills are just another item on the list of why you are The Best

Hearing music of any kind is a little bittersweet for him. Where he grew up, it was a frivolous past time when you could be hunting something instead

As Count, he always had music playing, but it was grand, complex pieces with massive orchestras and opera singers

Now the music he hears you play is just one instrument, because you want to, and because it makes you happy

Will request at least one song from you every single night

Especially enjoys it on the nights you spend by a campfire under the stars, after you've finished a job. It's like a reward

He tried singing along, once, but it didn't really work because he's canonically tone deaf and it threw you off

The first few times you played he nearly threw a fit because Mercedes and Melchior kept trying to howl along

They shut up when they're eating, so now he keeps an eye out on the road for a deer or rabbit carcass to distract them with later

From the Last Of Us prompt list

It’s so strange how inspiration can hit us when we don’t expect it to. I’m not quite sure if this was quite what you meant, the original plan was to maybe write a zombie!Arcana AU but. . .that’s not at all what this ended up being.

I do hope you still enjoy

You take a slow deep breath in, looking up from Asra’s familiar scrawl on the piece of parchment you held in your hand before looking up. Staring anxiously at the currently empty sky.

You were standing by the edge of the city. Having pushed through the evening bustle to get there, hood pulled low to cover your hair and face. Asra’s message gripped in a tight fist like a lifeline.

Trying to prove Julian innocent was proving to be harder than you’d originally thought and you were running yourself into an early grave. You were exhausted, pushing yourself far beyond your limits, both physical and magical to just figure this out.

Faust had shown up that afternoon out of the blue after you’d almost collapsed from spreading yourself too thin, the soft nudge and flick of a tongue against your hand being startling enough to force you back into your body during a spell that clearly just wasn’t working.

There had been some soft cooing from your end and you’d picked her up, draping her over your shoulders as you always did and you’d gone to stand up when the world had spun and you had quickly sat back down again.

There had been a disapproving hiss from your snake friend before she pushed her snoot against your cheek.

“I know, I know” You’d said quietly, sighing softly as you gently stroked along her back. You’d been about to continue talking when you noticed something hit your finger.

You had quickly looked and there, loosely tied around Faust’s scaly body had been a small scroll. Something you quickly but gently grabbed at and took off her.

All that was written on it had been “Believe in the fireflies” in handwriting that could only ever belong to your Master Magician Asra.

Quickly forgetting about your dizzy spell, you’d grabbed your cloak, your bag and had been out the door before you could blink. The sun had been setting by that point.

But now it was dark, stars faintly twinkled in the night sky but scour fruitlessly as you might. You found no fireflies and found the hope that you would be able to see him again and possibly get some help, slowly dying.

Your shoulders slumped and Faust let out a quiet noise from where she was still on your shoulders, you glanced at her and gave her a small smile. Gently reaching up to stroke her, finding her a comfort.

She always had been but you weren’t sure if that was a her thing or an association thing, probably both but you sure as hell weren’t complaining currently.

’Believe in the fireflies, Believe in the fireflies. What does that mean? Do we even GET fireflies here?’ You questioned mentally, trying to think back to figure out if you’d ever seen any.

Now that you thought about it. . .had you ever seen fireflies in Vesuvia?

You knew you’d seen them during festivals but you were at least 90% sure those hadn’t been naturally occurring fireflies and had been made by some travelling magicians that the Countess sometimes invited.

There was a groan building in your throat and you had been about to turn around and start the trek back into town before something zipped by you. Quickly following it with your eyes, you grinned.

It was a firefly

No sooner than the first appeared, 6 more followed it’s lead. 7 of them flying around you before heading into the forest before you, quickly following them.

Stepping over bared roots and low hanging branches, having to quickly dart around prickly bushes and step around flowers. The magical creatures seemingly leading you further and further in.

Hitting a point before they flew faster, causing you to break into a run just to keep them in your sight. You felt Faust tighten her body around your shoulders and you reached up and held her there, being firm but gentle.

Ducking down to avoid a branch, the ground beneath your feet changed from hard dirt to soft sand. You were unprepared for such a transition and your tired feet got the better of you. Tripping over yourself, you fell forward, quietly cursing yourself for not resting better that day.

You never hit the ground however, instead falling into a white-haired man with an all too familiar red coat who managed to catch you before you both tumbled to the ground.

His name was barely out of your mouth in a joyful whisper before you were pulled into a tight hug that you eagerly returned, looking up at Asra’s face as he smiled at you.

"If I had known you were going to fall, I would have called out to warn you” He said and you laughed

“I do always appreciate a little warning” You teased, poking your tongue out at him, grinning as he laughed and pulled you in more. Your arms tightened around him and you snickered quietly, feeling Faust move from your shoulders to his.

“I will be sure to keep that in mind for future” He said before resting his head against yours and you tried to ignore the warmth blossoming in your chest at what that implied. “I missed you”

“I missed you too” You said quietly before nestling in close, closing your eyes. You could ask him for help and for advice in a moment, for now? You really had missed him and his hugs always had brought you a sense of relaxation and comfort rivaled only by a long hot bath.

You were content to stay there for a while.

For the prompts: Main 3 finding out MC can't swim.

| master list | ko-fi |

Asra

he’s honestly not too worried

“just use your magic!”

he says it like it’s the most obvious thing in the world

once he realizes you’re actually struggling, he teaches you how to extend your breath with magic

you ask him to teach you how to actually swim and his face goes a little red

turns out he’s not too great of a swimmer either

he tries to teach you anyway, and by the end you both are better swimmers than you started out

faust is delighted. she finally has swimming buddies!

Julian

thinks you’re joking

is horrified to find out you’re not

lessons begin immediately, with Julian as your teacher, of course

he stands next to you as you practice floating, his fingers just barely touching your back

he demonstrates the freestyle, splashing you right in the face as he kicks his way away from you

it’s a fun ordeal, with Julian next to you every step of the way

he’s a good teacher, and you’re a quick learner

you’re goofing around in the water together before long

Nadia

she considered hiring a teacher for you before brushing the thought away and teaching you herself

she instructs you strictly but kindly

she enforces near perfect form

by the time she’s done with you, you’re a great swimmer

“you must know how to keep yourself alive in all circumstances,” she says, “I cannot bear to lose you.”

after all the hard work of learning, swimming becomes a routine activity

as do pool smooches

Could you do headcanons for how the main six react to an MC who cries when they’re really mad/frustrated? Like during arguments sometimes they start crying because of how emotional they get. Thank you :)

(Vine voice: Ahaha I do that)

Thanks for requesting! I hope you like it! (Apologise it slightly goes of prompt I feel like, and it’s shorter than the rest but I hope you like it regardless! (I can also rewrite something if you’d like I don’t mind at all! ))

Main six with an mc that cries when they’re frustrated

Asra

He tries his best not to frustrate you, but like any normal couple, hiccups happen, arguments and fights come and go, but he tries to drop the topic as soon as he sees your eyes get glassy

When it does happen though, what ever the cause may be, he’s quick to grab your hands and try to ground you, telling you to take deep breaths, and as soon as you’ve calmed down enough he’ll make some tea.

He’s very quick to talk over what happened with you, ask you where whatever went wrong, how he can fix it, what he needs to do better, etc etc etc. Communication is key with asra. You can’t get through one argument with out talking it out at some point.

Nadia

Arguments do happen, but she’s far to busy for them to be an reoccurring thing, it’s more like a once every month maybe twice a month kind of thing, and if I’m being honest most arguments you get in are because how busy she is. Nadia is also very firm, so if you’re anything like lucio,,,,aha good luck Charlie

When you do start to cry out of frustration, she’s immediately at your side, squeezing you’re shoulders, trying to get you some where more private while asking the servants to bring you some water, and she’ll listen to everything you say.

Once you’ve calmed down, she takes a moment to think about what you said, why you were do frustrated, and tries to communicate a conclusion so you’re both happy. Like asra, communication is key, she just feels bad she doesn’t have the time to communicate with you.

Julian

Arguments are common with Julian, just given his nature, but not an everyday thing, maybe weekly or biweekly based off who you are, but most of them don’t excelate to you crying, not those kinds of arguments. It’s more like the two of you bicker like an old married couple.

But when it does happen, his heart drops. Espically if you’re crying because of him. He’s very quick to wipe away you’re tears and kiss the crown of you’re head. He didn’t mean to make you cry like that, and he’s very sorry.

Makes you tea and cuddles with you afterwards, squeezing you’re arm and waist as a way to remind himself you’re still with him, even after he made you cry, just make sure you tell him it’s okay and it’s not his fault, if you don’t the guilt almost eats him alive

Portia

Omg you two are ✨matching!✨ Omg couple goals 🤪

But in all seriousness she does this. A lot. It’s very evident in her route, so if you’re not careful you might make her cry because she’s frustrated with you. Or the two of you might cry together, because you’re both frustrated, or because one of you is crying so the other feels sad too

When you start to cry, she pretty much tackles you in a hug, saying “don’t cry don’t cry don’t cry don’t cry please don’t cry” over and over again in effort to get you to stop, because I headcanon portia as very empathetic, if you start to cry, she’ll probably start crying too.

Cuddles are a must after every break down, and while communication is key, she rather have you rant everything out that’s been bothering you, that way when you’re done the two of you get to gossip, it’s a win win honestly

Muriel

I feel like Muriel cries when he’s frustrated too. Not the kind of frustration when you can’t find a certain puzzle piece though, more like the type of frustration you feel after you’ve been bottling up your emotions for god knows how long, and now you have to go kill some random ladies son even though you sworn off killing, and you’re family member and the lady die along the way. That kind of frustration

It always takes him off guard. He’s never quite sure how to act, so he’ll gently place a hand on you’re shoulder, stoop down to you’re level, and ask if you want to talk about it. Of you do, he pulling you into a pile of furs to cuddle as he runs his hand up and down your back.

He’ll ask you if you want to talk about it when you’ve calmed down, and he’ll listen to you rant it all out. He isn’t the best with communication, but he’ll promise he’ll work on what ever was bothering you. He’s also very reluctant to get up and make tea, but when he lays back down he’s not getting back up.

Lucio

He’s going to make you frustrated. As some one who learned and studied the human life cycle at school I’m proud to say lucio shares many similarities with toddlers. I can make a list if you’d like. But anyway-

It takes his brain a hot minute to realize your frustrated. More importantly frustrated with him. Empathy is a new concept for lucio, so be paitent with him, he’s trying his best, he really is, he also feels bad that you’re crying his brain is just...processing

He’ll tell the servants to bring you some cookies, because cookies always make him feel better when he’s upset so they should make you feel better as well. He’ll also hold you tight while you ride it out and eat your cookies, but he’s very quick to explain to you, that he can name a much better way to get your frustration out, just say the word~

Ahhh, I’m sorry this kind of went of prompt, I’m having an rough day, but I’m fine I promise, if you want me to rewrite I will as soon as I feel better I promise.

But if you did like what you read or want to read something better than this to cleanse your eyes, my mater list is located here!

Next headcanon: main six dancing!

My request are open! :)
