Guts ( GOLDEN AGE ARC )

Guts As Your Boyfriend SCENARIO

No Warnings

A Bit Yandere ¿

Part 2 ( NOT CONNECTED ): Post-Eclipse

• First of all, his other comrades could gape in disbelief seeing someone like you, kindhearted and gentle, deserve a fierce man like Guts.

• In spite of his intimidating presence, it was difficult for them to accept that he could indeed be your boyfriend as all he does is brandish his sword and ruthlessly slaughter any human that crosses his path on the battlefield.

• PDA is something that Guts despises. Its presence, particularly in public, is something that he would certainly find quite awkward. Unsolicited neck kisses from you are also something that he strongly disapproves of.

• In private, his affectionate nature truly reveals itself. Displaying his profound fondness towards you in the presence of his comrades is not his preference. Nevertheless, it is essential for everyone to be aware that you are exclusively his alone.

• In the forests, the only setting where he feels comfortable showing affection towards you publicly (restricted to just the two of you), he doesn't hesitate to embrace your waist. Occasionally, he enjoys teasing you.

• He also adores clasping your waist and drawing them near.

• In the initial stages of the relationship, the only terms of endearment he utilizes for you exclusively consist of ‘Dumbass’ and ‘Jerk.’ This should come as no unexpected revelation.

• Upon reaching a state of comfort, he consistently addresses you with the customary term while incorporating either ‘Love’ or ‘Babe’ depending on his mood.

• Engaging in his physical touch involves allowing him to place his head on your lap while you delicately run your fingers through his hair. It is also experienced when both of you intimately intertwine your fingers.

• Seeking comfort from your touch is the sole method to alleviate his concerns, which consistently proves effective.

• Before embarking on the mission commanded by Griffith, he adored the gentle and tender quick kisses on your lips.

• “Take care, yeah? I will not be dead, I promise.”

• Other than that, he may display reckless behavior and may not even show concern for offering an apology.

• In every debate, he is swift to lay blame on you and incessantly strives to emerge victorious, even though he is often the one who started the argument.

• Despite his stubborn nature, he refrains from criticizing or belittling you when engaged in an argument. To illustrate this, he does not resort to using derogatory terms such as ‘dumb,’ ‘stupid,’ or ‘fool.’

• “Tch, y'know, I have reached my limit with the nonsense you constantly spew. Don't talk to me again and deal the problems with yourselves this time!”

• However, his words are not intended to be taken seriously; they are simply a dramatic expression because the next day, he would present you with a quantity of fruit collected from a tree and placed in a bucket as an earnest gesture of apology.

• The bestowal of gifts is not a preference for Guts; his offerings consist solely of flowers plucked from the garden or a handcrafted floral crown fashioned only during his leisure moments. Indeed, he does not possess an inclination towards bestowing presents.

• “Dumbass, at least I got a present for you. Why are you even complaining?....”

• In spite of everything, Guts inevitably starts feeling envious when witnessing your increasing intimacy with his allies, especially Griffith. Even though Griffith is Guts' closest companion and depends on him, Guts remains uncertain about allowing you to interact with him.

• Guts becomes aware that both genders exhibit great enthusiasm toward Griffith and regard him with reverence akin to that of a God. Guts has his reasons for discouraging you from spending too much time with Griffith; who can say if you'll end up becoming a devoted fan of Griffith in the future?

• One time, during your conversation with Griffith, Guts unexpectedly approached the two of you and forcefully pushed you aside.

• Noticing Guts becoming sullen and defensive is truly precious. Nevertheless, your genuine displeasure arises due to the fact that you exclusively perceive him as the only person with whom you can communicate.

• “Why the hell are you spending some time with that twink?!!? I'm literally right here!”

• Occasionally, Guts can exhibit rather confusing behavior sometimes. On one occasion, he may display intense passion towards you, while on the following day, he might become perplexed if you attempt to establish more comfortable with him, catching him off guard.

• “Whoa, whoa, what are you doing?” 

• “Why did you try to kiss me?!”

• Exist of having a partner or in a relationship seems to slip his mind, almost as if it disappears from his thoughts. It wouldn't be fair to hold him accountable for this oversight; perhaps it's a result of the immense fatigue he experiences while engaged on battlefields, hindering his ability to grasp his thoughts accurately.

• In addition, Guts held a deep concern for your well-being. Take, for example, how Judeau and Corkus extended an invitation for a shared wine drink. However, Guts swiftly confiscated the bottle, forcefully shattering it on the floor. 

• “Don't you ever dare to accept anything from what my comrades gave you.”

• He strongly advises against you engaging in any potentially dangerous activities without his knowledge. Ultimately, he fears the consequences that may arise, envisioning a situation where you end up succumbing to intoxication, mirroring the experience of his late father.

• “I don't want you to be as pitiful as my old man back in the days....”

• Guts observe his peculiar sense of pride when Y/n is unexpectedly praised for the noticeable growth of his muscles or when he emerges victorious from a duel. He dismissively chuckles, portraying himself as the utmost embodiment of strength, impressing his partner.

• Demonstrating his biceps and measuring himself against others is his preferred method of flaunting his strength, allowing him to observe your entertained response proudly.

• “Me? Strong? Nah, I ain't really that strong. But keep in mind, I'll be the last man standing on a battlefield!”

• When it comes to sharing food, Guts is highly possessive. He refuses to relinquish the final portion of food to anyone else.

• “Nope, get it yourselves....”

• In order to provoke him, the optimal method and most effective tactic is to approach his fellow companions, such as Pippin and Rickert, and engage in the act of food sharing.

• Upon witnessing Pippin and Rickert tenderly feeding you food as if you were a little girl, an intense surge of anger welled up inside him.

• With a firm approach, Guts would seize your wrist, voicing his frustration, “What on earth are you doing!?” It was as if he had conveniently forgotten his own unwillingness to share food with you.

• On the other hand, if he discovered you crying, he observed as you concealed your face within the depths of your knees. An expression of confusion caused his brows to elevate, prompting him to playfully poke your head multiple times.

• “The hell you cryin' for?”

• Regrettably, he failed to acknowledge that his actions simply exacerbated the situation. With a sense of agitation, he clumsily tousles his hair as he finds himself unfamiliar with the task of comforting others.

• Besides, he never had anyone comforting him, so he's obviously shit at it. 

• “Gahh... how do I deal with this...”

• When your head rises, instantly his gaze falls upon your face, where red and swollen eyes meet his sight. Observing you in such a state causes a momentary pause for him; a sense of tranquility overtakes him as he descends and bends down alongside you.

• Witnessing you in such a state inflicts upon him a sensation akin to a sharp blow to the chest. The brewing question in his mind is, what if the fault lies upon his shoulders?

• “Hey, now, I don't like seeing you this way. Tell me exactly what happens.”

• Instead of yelling at him to leave, he anticipates your outburst, yet you continue to sob incessantly.

• Having a lack of aptitude in offering advice, Guts excels in the art of listening. He remains attentive to every expression and release of emotions you convey. Not once did his attentive listening falter, ensuring that your words were never overlooked.

• He'll let you bury your face into his chest and enables you to cry your heart out.

• Therefore, with a heart full of warmth, he will greet you with his most radiant smile while gently patting your head.

• ”Crybaby. Smile; you're adorable when you smile more.”

• In the midst of slumber, Guts will unanticipatedly carry you in a bridal style, gently cradling you in his arms, to an undisclosed destination amidst the woodlands.

• The destination to which he will take you remains uncertain. This gentleman is inclined to lead you up the hills, near the river, or perhaps even closer to the summit of the mountain to instill feelings of fear within you.

• Occasionally, he would drop you off under the tree as you and he sat together, allowing both of you to marvel at the crescent moon illuminating the night sky.

• Throughout the night, a transformation would take place within him, causing him to adopt a gentle demeanor. This shift in behavior can be attributed to the absence of people and the serene night air that envelopes him.

• During cuddle sessions, Guts will softly press his lips against your jawline, all the while gently caressing your cheeks with his thumb. The warmth and comfort of his hugs are undeniable; whenever his tender touch graces your skin, you experience an overwhelming sensation of melting in his presence.

• Murmuring sweet words to you is his habit before dozing off to sleep.

• “Tch, you never fail to steal my heart..”

• “I feel so safe with you; it's embarrassing...”

Thank you so much reading !

thinking about when guts sent a bunch of his men directly into zodd's meat grinder without even knowing demons like him existed. and that moment after the fight where casca runs to griffith unconscious on the floor and tells guts it's all his fault. and the time gambino tells him he's bad luck and should have died instead. and about how he tells griffith he cares about his men, and how casca doesn't seem to see it. and the time guts is thinking about casca telling him it's all his fault (after he got griffith hurt) and then griffith comes to him and says (like it's nothing) do i need to give a reason every time i come to save you? or whatever. like he's worth it. like he's worth dying for, and like it can be a choice people make because they value you. like he's a good luck charm, like griffith needs him to reach his goals, his full potential. like griffith is not enough to make it without him. like griffith finds out when guts leaves. fuckin.g gnawing someone else's legs off because i still need mine to run into traffic

Casca in Wedding Dress

The dress she wears has the same design as which she wore in Golden Age arc.

was quizzing my boyfriend about the rest of the plot of berserk since the anime ends on a MASSIVE cliffhanger and he's read the entire manga which is eight giant volumes each the size of guts's sword. and he brought me up to speed and I was like "oh ok so when does the next book come out?" and he was like "well unfortunately the author has died"

and I was like

Is it possible to request a Guts x reader where Guts secretly pines(?) over the reader since golden ages and finally confesses in Elfhiem, only to find out the Reader was starting to pine(?) over him too? Sorry if that doesn't make any sense or you don't want to write it-

──────────────────────

𝔞𝔣𝔱𝔢𝔯 𝔶𝔢𝔞𝔯𝔰

summary ;; — he kept it a secret, unsure of how to deal with these feelings, but when he decided it was time he told you after years, he was even more shocked to know you had felt the same.

featuring + contains ;; — guts x gn! reader

──────────────────────

     ⋆*･ﾟ:     :✧*⋆   ･ﾟ

he'd kept it well hidden, but at the same time, if you looked for it, you'd find it. it was small and he was shy about it, unable to talk to you at first and holding you in high respect since he had first met you. he'd be slightly intimidated at the same time, unsure of how to bring up a conversation with you in the first place, even if you seemed relaxed and easy going, but even more so if you seemed reserved.

either way, he looked like a puppy wandering after his owner during your days in the band of the hawk. but maybe thats a bit exaggerated, but it'd also be a lie to say that he didn't always try and linger around you and that his eyes wouldnt search to find you whenever the band was together. he even found himself subconsciously relaxing whenever he did.

he likely didnt even notice this at first, but eventually he would have to. it made him frustrated and even more embarrassed whenever he would think about it. this was the last thing he needed, but he just couldn't help it. he'd tell himself he'd stop, only to never be able to break his habits.

eventually, he was forced to make peace with his feelings. what else could he do? ask you out? no. he just couldn't. he wanted to, be he simply couldn't.

but making peace with it didnt mean necessarily being able to control his feelings better. he'd never be able to get used to that flutter in his stomach whenever he saw you smile, or being unable to calm down his blush whenever you accidentally touched.

with time, he was able to hide it more smoothly, but he didnt see it as a good thing. he hated how he was unable to tell you before the eclipse, because he had absolutely no chance of telling you after. all chances he had before that event were wiped out once it happened.

both of you were still healing and both of you still wanted revenge, and he doubted you wanted to deal with his feelings right after something like that had happened.

but it just felt so perfect now. he hoped that it wasnt just him that felt like this was the time he had been waiting for ever since he had met you. casca had been healed, you both had found your peace in your new group, and you were in the safety of elfheim.

and although both of you were still hurting from the eclipse, the new people and opportunities you had found along the way were slowly healing you, the pain fading away slowly.

and before he could even figure out what he was saying, the words slipped from his mouth.

he didnt even know what he had said himself, just watching the surprising expression form on your face. he only realised after the words began to linger in the air, but it was too late.

he was as shocked as you were, likely even more. but what surprised him even further was finding out that you felt the same.

and he could only damn himself after that, realising he had wasted so much time waiting for this moment when he couldve been with you so much earlier.

~BERSERK~

Okay so I guess the 4th season is just gonna be a remake of the first but in 13 episodes instead of 24..? But omg

I only watched one episode. Screenshots here ya go:

Someone stole their melanin 😭

WHY ARE ANIMATORS SO AFRAID OF DRAWING DARKER CHARACTERS. BE MORE LIKE NARUTO ISTG (just on that note hehe)

I know Guts has already been lightened since the first season but his skin blends with the tent in this scene pfff bro is the color of mayonnaise

Guys, I think Griffith wants him lololol

I had to pause here. I started laughing so loud bkdhfkvk the show somehow got gayer and not even my boy Guts is skipping past it bmxhcjvk XD

I chose not to mention the bed scene cause i still wanna vomit thinking about it. I do love, however, how Casca punched Guts so hard he keeled over with spit running from his mouth. I think that's the strongest I've seen her be this whole show 🥲

Mwah give him a kiss kiss. The art style now looks kinda like Jojo's part 1 and I am not complaining

Edit:

Okay somehow Guts went back to his original ish color? Bros a chameleon.

Edit #2:

Btw I feel as though i forgot to mention in my first Berserk post...

No. Women do not get a high fever when on our period. We also don't just pass out. Fainting can happen, though, but not commonly like... Also, I love how no one mentions how the crap Casca is dealing with the blood. I assume she's just bleeding out, I guess. Blood everywhere. Never getting that out of your clothes in that age. NOT TO MENTION A S3X SCENE. BLOODY S3X. AAUGH

I doubt even a single women looked at the script before these dudes published it in the manga... and show... and remake...

EDIT #3:

HOLY SH!T THEY CUT OUT THE S3X SCENE I'M SO HAPPY THEY'RE FRIENDSS NOT LOVERS YAY

Also

HAHAGAHA

And

...they let Casca save herself for once like the strong women she's supposed to beee 😭😭😭

THE BARE MINIMUM MAKES ME SO HAPPY

But why we gotta see her b00bs out bro

[daddopenguin]

As a lesbian I understand why Guts asked Griffith this question cause there is no straight fucking explanation to him saying "You fascinate me I want you." And Girffith just dodges it by changing it back to the initial conversation of why he wants Guts he is not beating the homo allegations.

Also this is just hilarious.

[lordsmaf]

Doesn’t quite capture the same lesbian energy as the manga panel but I’ll take it

[wholesomeberserk]

[gregrulzok]

I'm not done talking about this THE HOMOEROTICISM IN BERSERK IS NOT SUBTEXT !!! IT'S JUST THE TEXT

I'm sorry but Griffith constantly claiming Guts as "his"? Guts letting Griffith touch him before anyone else (bonus points: Guts letting Casca touch him is used as a big sign of his affection for her hmmmmm)? Their unwavering trust in each-other? The fact that Griffith cries while thinking about Guts right after sleeping with a woman? The fact that Guts literally offers Griffith his body/to be his boyfriend the first time they meet? The fact that the desire to stand as an equal to Griffith is what inspired Guts to change the way he lived his ENTIRE LIFE? The fact that Griffith, despite being so composed and calm, literally had a massive freakout meltdown when Guts wanted to leave, and refused to let Guts live if he wasn't going to be with him?

There's literally so many more things. Oh my God. There is SO much.

The entire Golden Age arc is LITERALLY just the story of two men pining after each-other so hard they destroy the whole world on accident.

There is no way you don't see it. If you don't see it you either didn't read it or you're fucking lying to protect your fragile ego because "big strong man no gay", that's the only explanation.
