Not arle content, mbad guys. šŸ„² I'm just in love with this woman. I should write more of Robin.
I heard you wanted requests and I came running Aether. I fucking bolted. I cannot tell you how fast I pressed the 'ask' button. Also, if you're still sick make sure to take care of yourself first before doing requests!!!!
Anyways. Robin x gn!reader requested as always :3333 so there's this specific scene in my head thats been playing in my head lately and I crave hurt/comfort.
Either Robin or Reader being insecure about having scars and thinking their body, and the other reassures them that they love them regardless by kissing them/tracing them. And it's a bit suggestive? Like it's not meant to be sexual but one of the two is at least half-naked. I'm not sure if this is okay to request as an anon. If not, totally reject this, but I oust thought it's a cute idea.
And need I remind you that regardless you do it or not ill always love your work and will patiently wait if you do? No, I don't? Great. Anyways, love ya aether my beloved, stop manifesting hanahaki
-Enies Lobby anon (patiently waiting for pt.4 of hanahaki [I'm gnawing at the bars of my enclosure])
Tumblr media
you can tell by that last statement how long this ask was asked šŸ˜­
forethoughts: apologies this took a while; this one hit a little too close to home for me :_). there's been a lot happening in my life, including but not limited to a stalking man whom tried to manipulate me :D. regardless, i hope you enjoy this one!! went back to my roots of a nico robin lover for this.
notes: made this one fem!reader because i wanted to write this to my younger self. robin is naked in this. they don't fuck, but robin and reader is like 1 1/2 naked. really soft and fluffy. word count: 2k

ā€œDo you have anything else you have to do tonight, Y/N?ā€ You looked up from the book Robin had gifted you, to find the gifter herself standing in your doorframe, her arms resting on top of one another as she gave you a warm smile. You slipped a piece of paper in the pages of the book, before standing up and facing your girlfriend.Ā 
ā€œUhm, no, not really. Whyā€™d you ask?ā€ You replied. It wasnā€™t uncommon for Robin to suddenly pop up in your room ever since you had confessed your feelings to her. Although you slept in her room now, you still used your room as your study to do your work and to hide from everyone else when your social battery went down.Ā 
ā€œI was just wondering if you would like to join me for a bath. Weā€™ve been together for quite a while now, and if youā€™re alright with it, Iā€™d like it if we could bathe together.ā€ Robin proposed.
Your heart did a backflip, dropping all the way to your stomach. You knew this day would come; you just didnā€™t know it would come this soon. Ever since you had confessed your feelings to Robin, the day that the two of you would be comfortable enough to bathe together was like a doomsday countdown in your mind. It wasnā€™t that you did not want to see what Robin looked like underneath two layers of clothing, but something else that had been gnawing at you for years of your life.
ā€œUhmā€¦ā€ That was the only sound that escaped out of your mouth; the rest were lost in the abyss of your mind.Ā 
ā€œItā€™s alright if youā€™re not comfortable; I do not wish to do something that makes you feel uncomfortable for my sake. Still, you should still take a bath soon. Itā€™s getting late.ā€
ā€œWellā€¦ā€ You sighed, shaking your head. Your fingers twiddled around the hem of your shirt, scrunching it up and releasing it. You could feel Robinā€™s eyes casted onto the top of your head, encouraging the neurons in your brain to speed up and think of an answer.Ā 
ā€œIā€¦ I guessā€¦ I should take a bathā€¦ we could do it togetherā€¦ā€ You regurgitated each word, looking at the wooden floorboards. Robinā€™s eyes analyzed your entire body, nitpicking each detail and examining your facial expressions. She did that everytime you were upset or doing something uncharacteristic. Still, it made you feel like you were under scrutiny by your own girlfriend who had also confessed her love to you.Ā 
ā€œAre you sure?ā€ Robin simply asked.
ā€œY-Yeah. Totally.ā€ You nodded your head, despite your eyes still downcast. Robin let out a sigh, accepting that you werenā€™t going to give her any other answer.
ā€œAlright then. Letā€™s go.ā€
Everyone had unpredictable showering schedules: Luffy and Zoro could go on for a week, Usopp and Chopper every three days, and everyone else would shower every day. Franky had built bathhouses for each gender, so that you, Nami and Robin wouldnā€™t have to share the same bathhouse with Sanji. Compared to the boyā€™s, the bathhouse you shared with Nami and Robin always smelled like tangerines or lavender, depending on who used it last. The water was warm (thankfully), and every amenity you could ever need for person hygiene was available.Ā 
Since Nami had just used the shower, the room was filled with the smell of tangerines. You didnā€™t mind it; you were used to the smell after being part of the Straw Hats for a while. You walked into the bathhouse behind Robin, your eyes gazing at the woman face a wall, removing her clothes without any problem at all. One second, that navy blue jacket and salmon sarong skirt was on her body. The next, she was fully naked and already heading towards the tub. Your feet were glued to the wooden planks below, eyes glued to the sight in front of you.Ā 
Your contact with her was severed as Robin turned her head to look at you, a quizzical look on her face as she observed your fully clothed body standing feets away from the tub. A phantom flick on your forehead brought you back to reality, your mind racing with thoughts that triumphed over Robin's voice.
ā€œY/N, is something wrong?ā€ The four words drove into that tiny bottle you kept near your heart, cracks starting to appear. Robin had moved closer to the edge of the tub, a hand resting on the wooden frame. Her brows were furrowed, her lips pursed as her eyes analyzed your body again, reading you like a poneglyph.
In the midst of the bathhouse, you could hear your heartbeat thud over the sound of the water moving around. If you could hear it, Robin could definitely hear it too. There was no point in hiding anything from her; she was Nico Robin.Ā 
In your silence, Robin spoke again. ā€œIs something on your mind thatā€™s bothering you? Would you like to talk about it?ā€
Robin was always aware of how you felt at any given moment, and she was always willing to give you space and let you decide how you wanted to proceed with anything. Robin was the buoy you desperately clinged onto in the middle of a raging storm in the seas. The rope was never weathered down by the heavy downpour. Everytime Robin did something, said something, you could feel your body moving along with the rope, dragging you ever so close to the place you knew you were safe in.
Safe. Safe. That was what Robin was. Safe. With her around, you always felt safe. She always listened and paid attention to all your needs and made sure you were alright. She always went out of the way to make sure you were healthy and well. She was the one that was there to remind you you were loved when you yourself forgot to. Safe.
ā€œUhmā€¦ā€ Your voice cracked; even with just one word you could feel the corners of your eyes beginning to burn and body shaking alongside the ship. ā€œT-Thereā€™s something that is on my mind, and i-is bothering me.ā€
You were actually doing this. Every part of your body was screaming at you, protesting and shutting down. Despite what you thought and believed, your body rebelled. You couldnā€™t blame your body; of course they would try and protect you from harm or stepping into unknown territories.
Robin stayed quiet, the corners of her mouth lifting ever so slightly. It was her way of telling you that you were welcome to say whatever you wanted, and she would be there to listen.
ā€œIā€¦ā€ You bit your dry and cracked lips, looking down at your feet. ā€œRemember that fight we had with the marines a few weeks ago?ā€
ā€œYes. I recall you were injured.ā€ Robinā€™s stoic expression broke as she remembered your injury that left you immobile. However, she does not interject, letting you continue.
ā€œItā€™s better; Chopper says Iā€™m okay now, butā€¦ā€ You sighed. ā€œEver since thenā€¦ Iā€™ve become scared. Iā€™ve become terrified to look in the mirror without my clothes on, let alone have anything that exposesā€¦ you know.ā€
A steady stream of air exits out of Robinā€™s mouth. When no words could roll off your tongue, Robin stood up from the tub, drying herself with the help of her multitude of hands. She walked over to you, causing your heartbeat to feign a heart attack. ā€œMay I?ā€
ā€œS-Sure.ā€ You didnā€™t know what Robin was going for, but you werenā€™t too disappointed with the results. Robin set the back of her fingers alongside your cheek, before cupping your face with both of her hands, tilting your head to face her.
ā€œMy darlingā€¦ā€ Robin whispered, her hands moving down to your shoulders. ā€œCan I see? Please.ā€
ā€œWhy do you want to see somethingā€¦ horrendous?ā€
Robin frowned at your choice of words, shaking her head. ā€œY/N, nothing about you is horrendous. Your mind, your body, your heart, none of that. You are perfect. You are who you are, no matter what. Please donā€™t call yourself horrendous when all I can see is goodness and kindness. I donā€™t want you to be terrified of the shell that protects that loving and caring heart of yours. I donā€™t want to see you be ashamed and afraid of your own skin.ā€
The corners of your eyes begin to burn. With just one blink, the floodgates burst open. You stood there in front of Robin, your shoulders rising and falling, choked and garbled sobs exiting your mouth as tears rolled down your face. Your heart churned, fighting off that foreign feeling that felt so wrong, but so right at the same time. A paradox of emotions. You felt so wrong for breaking down in front of the person you called home, but soā€¦ good for breaking down in front of the person you called home.
ā€œShhā€¦ Shā€¦ itā€™s alright. Youā€™re safe. Youā€™re safe, Y/N. Youā€™re alright.ā€ Robinā€™s arms wrapped around your head, pulling you closer to her chest. Her still nude chest. In any other circumstances youā€™d be thrilled at the situation you were in. But vulnerability overpowered lust, and you let out a choked sob, burying your head in between Robinā€™s supple breasts, allowing yourself to melt into your touch and allowing yourself to be comforted. Drunk on overwhelming comfort and love, you didnā€™t even notice Robinā€™s duplicate hands lift your shirt up. You reluctantly removed your hands around Robinā€™s neck, moving away from your lifeline as your armor was stripped away. A choked protest exited your mouth as Robin placed her hands on your bare shoulders, not allowing you to run to her like a child to her mother. The only sound in the room was your heavy breathing, running faster than your heart was. When that familiar feeling of her hand removed, you stopped breathing, the deafening silence filling the room.Ā 
Shit. Shit. Shit. Sheā€™s mad. Sheā€™s disgusted. Sheā€™s repulsed. Sheā€™s-
Soft lips were planted on one of the many scars littered on your body, then again, trailing downwards. Robinā€™s tongue flicked against your bruises, kissing it and swirling around the area. Her hands were around your waist, head making its way towards every scar you bore. Every kiss, every little touch or lick sent spiders up your spine, a shocked gasp involuntarily leaving your mouth.Ā 
ā€œMy beautiful. My beautiful Y/N.ā€ Robin murmured, her breath against the most vulnerable and hidden spots of your body. You stifled a gasp, your hand shooting up to your mouth as Robin continued to kiss every single abnormality from your skin. ā€œMy beautiful. My strong Y/N. I am so proud of you. I am so proud of you for being so brave. I love you so much. My love, in this vast world, you alone are the epitome of grace, the prettiest in the world. How could I ever be repulsed by the sight I see?ā€
Robin stood up, her hands slithering from your waist to your cheeks, as she wiped your tears away. She looked at you with a smile, kissing your forehead, your nose, and finally your lips. When you couldnā€™t breathe and choked on your breath, she was there, giving you the oxygen in her lungs to breathe, to stabilize yourself. When your legs couldnā€™t hold your body, she was there, holding you up with her arms.Ā 
When you couldnā€™t speak, when all you could make was choked sobs and unintelligible rambles like a baby, Robin was there. She was always there. ā€œMy love, never be ashamed of the scars on you. They are a testimony to the challenges you face. They tell the story of a battle you fought, and won. Do not deny them, for your scars do not make you weak. They make you strong. My strong beautiful Y/N. My love.ā€

If she really doesnt want anything to do with me we'll just take turns but ideally we will just be a throuple. Dw I've got this. And Laios is like ...but then what if you like her more than me and Kabru is like that's not how love works!

ooh im glad!!! so, expanding on that then..
how about price with a civvi wife/gf, and when theyā€™re talking over the phone while heā€™s gone, sheā€™s being kinda cagey and definitely omitting something, but he doesnā€™t know what. so when he gets back home she tells him sheā€™s pregnant? really just a lot of fluff (and maybe angst? šŸ‘€ like about how his job is super dangerous and he might not come home, so he has fears about it?? bc your angst is so good it makes me sob violently /pos)
ive never sent a request before, so if this is too specific or something, feel free to whittle it down or toss it, i donā€™t wanna bug you lol
have a good day hal, love u!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You disliked hiding things from John. It not only felt like a betrayal of his unlimited trust in you but also a slap in the face for what you had built with each other. The both of you were always honest to a fault when it came to your relationshipā€”like how a bird was loyal to the sky. It was an unselfish principle; a promise of pure love and devotion that transcended touch or given gifts.
You told each other things. Everything. Down to how much you had spent on groceries that day just because it was something to talk about and share; something that made you closer to one another even when you were apart. You told the Brit what you planted in the back gardenā€”what shirt you were wearing!
But now you hold the ringing phone in your hand and for the first time in your entire relationship, you consider lying.Ā 
Your eyes bore into the icon of Johnā€™s smiling face, head covered by a black beanie and beard tilted up softly. Affectionately, his name on the device had been changed to ā€˜Grumpy St. Bernard,ā€™ but now the title made your lips go thin instead of the usual giggling reaction. No heat spreads over your cheeks; no excitement.
Just an overwhelming sense of dread.
The week had started just as the last three had. A special form of hell. At nearly six oā€™clock you would whip back the covers with all the fervor of a terrified rabbit being chased by a hawk; the taste of bile immediately snapping you to attention as the toilet acts as your commanding officer.Ā 
You imagined John would get a chuckle out of that comparison, but when youā€™re hurling up your guts in nothing more than a pair of your boyfriendā€™s boxers and a tank top itā€™s hard to think about all that. The taste of bile was still lickable from your lips as the bathroom tile digs into your knees, ringing phone still in your palm.Ā 
The idea of a pregnancy test slid into your subconscious in the first week of Johnā€™s two-month deployment, the tantalizing thought that was like a hook to a fish. You had pulled on the string, of course, and had instantly drowned in air. But you hadnā€™t taken one until now. Too nervous, perhaps. Hesitant.Ā 
In your other hand, opposite of the buzzing phone, you held three positive pregnancy tests in a shaking grip. Pink and white plastic mock you from the corner of your vision; two double lines.Ā 
Johnā€™s icon dims.Ā 
You press the green circle in your panic, mouth opening and closing yet no sounds escaping. Would you tell him now? Later? Was it right to tell him about this nowā€”when he was halfway across the continent? Fear overtakes your heart for no apparent reason. You didnā€™t want him to act rashly, especially when John could act so stubborn when he wanted to.Ā 
He was always so concerned about you when he was away but you were concerned just the same. That man was the one who was getting shot at constantly, not you.
ā€œTook you a while to answer. Trying to give me the slip, then, Sweetheart?ā€ Johnā€™s gravelly voice helped slightly, making your heart still, even if for a short moment. You close your eyes and tilt your head down, lips quivering at the soft chuckle over the line.
God, you loved him so much.
Blue eyes furrowed in confusion at the silence on the line, the chilled Switzerland air sneaking inside Johnā€™s compression shirt as he stood on the hotel balcony. The sounds of gentle conversation twitch his ears from inside the roomā€”the voices of the One-Four-One a dull mumble behind the half-closed sliding door. They had been playing cards before the Captain had easily slipped away to check up on you.Ā 
He tried to call as often as he could.Ā 
Johnā€™s hips shift, one arm crossed over his chest as the other presses the phone harder to his ear. Lips pull to a frown, beard bristles going with them, before the lines on the Britā€™s forehead grow larger.
ā€œ...Love?ā€ Naturally, a sliver of concern wedges itself into his ribs but it subsides when your calming voice spreads honey over the call. Johnā€™s shoulders fall back down.Ā 
You breathe deeply, hands dropping the tests onto the bathroom counter with a small clack of plastic.Ā 
ā€œJohn,ā€ forcing away the hitch to your words, you stare at yourself in the mirror, free hand sliding up to lightly rest over your collarbone as a soothing method. Your eyes are so filled with shock that it throws you off. ā€œIā€¦I wasnā€™t expecting a call so soon.ā€Ā 
ā€œHm, been up since 0500.ā€ the man grunts, looking out over the city and seeing the rising sun before asking softly with a deep-set brow. There was something about your toneā€¦lids narrow at nothing. ā€œDid I wake you?ā€Ā 
ā€œNo, no,ā€ You force a chuckle, having to take a deep breath before ripping your sights from your own reflection. The disgust was settling at you trying to avoid this. But if your own brain could barely process this right now, what gave you the right to tell John when he wasnā€™t here? ā€œIā€™ve been up for a few hours.ā€
Licking your lips, you run a hand over your hair, glancing out of the ajar door into the master bedroom, pushing out bland answers for only the fact that you couldnā€™t think clearly right now.
Jesus, this was actually happening.Ā 
You study the thrown covers from your morning rush to the bathroom, seeing the pictures on the nightstand and feeling the delicate atmosphere that was sparkingā€”electricity between atoms. A silent moment of realization that everything down to the bare bones of your relationship was about to change. Blinking back to the tests, you dwell in the strange fuzz that took residence in the back of your mind.Ā 
ā€œWhatā€™s been going on?ā€ Your voice isnā€™t right. Too tight. Tooā€¦nervous. Why were you nervous? ā€œEveryone good?ā€Ā 
The Brit frowns stiffly, shifting his feet again and sending a look back into the hotel. Hunching forward, Johnā€™s large fingers fix the position of the phone as his voice lowers, ignoring your question entirely. He doesn't want to jump to conclusions, but there were pros and cons to his line of work.Ā 
Above all, he knew when something was up with you.
ā€œAre you alright over there, Sweetheart?ā€ Blue eyes rove the street below, ā€œFeelinā€™ okay? You sound a bit stuffed up.ā€
Your heart lurches, quickly stuttering through an explanation of, ā€œO-oh, I think I just came down with something.ā€ The irony wasnā€™t lost on you. ā€œA stomach bug,ā€ you cringe, ā€œIā€™m sorry, was it that obvious?ā€
The laugh that exits is less convincing than you thought it would be, but it does the trick. John sighs in relief, chuckling as he shakes his head.
ā€œNo need to apologize, Loveā€¦anything bad, then? I can bring some meds from Base when Iā€™m back if you need me to.ā€ He was still concerned for you, but knowing that youā€™d never lied or withheld the truth from him before there was really no reason to believe that anything else was going on. John trusted you to the end of the earth.Ā 
The Captain rubbed at the back of his neck, cracking his spine as he bent back. It was still early and waking up on a hotel bed without you beside him was torture. John longed for home. Longed for you.
Back at the house, your face scrunches together.Ā 
Bad? You wonder, saying absentmindedly that some medication would be lovely. Was thisā€¦bad?Ā 
John had always wanted to have a kidā€”or, at least, heā€™d told you as much when he was above you, filling you to the brim and then doing it again a second and third time. Thighs quivering and eyes fighting to stay open through layered bliss as sharp pants rung in your ears.Ā 
ā€œGonna get you pregnantā€¦watch you swell upā€¦cā€™mon sweet thing, you can handle another one, canā€™t you? Need to watch it take.ā€Ā 
ā€¦But was that a true feeling or just a kink? You blank and realize youā€™d never asked him. More than that, though, was this what you wanted?Ā 
ā€œWhen do you think youā€™ll be home, John?ā€ You speak softly, palm flattening over your stomach as you exit the bathroom and sit on the end of the bed, gut swirling but not in a nauseous sort of way. ā€œIā€¦I really miss you, yā€™know? It would all be better if you were home.ā€
The brunette blinks softly, lids peeling back in shock for a moment before a thin thread of guilt worms its way into him.Ā 
ā€œKate said two months, Love,ā€ John speaks slowly, the grumble in his voice trying to convey his unease at your strange behavior, ā€œYou know that.ā€
Heā€™d explained his job when you both had gotten serious, how he would be gone for long periods of time, and the somewhat uncomfortable situations youā€™d be put in because of it. Youā€™d agreed and never brought it up when John would have to leave in the small hours of the morning and disappear for months on end. It shocked him, really, with how well you adjusted but that was just how you were. One of a kind.Ā 
There was no one else with whom John could see himself building a lifeā€”being buried beside in some nice meadow grave plot and turning to dust together. Growing a family with.Ā 
John cleared his throat, tilting his head down slightly before pulling himself back to the present.Ā 
ā€œItā€™s bothering you that much, eh?ā€ His brows furrow, ā€œAre you sure youā€™re alright? I can call hospital andā€”ā€
ā€œNo!ā€ You slap a hand to your mouth, halting your outburst as blue eyes go somewhat wide, jaw slackening. Taking a breath over the shocked silence over the line, you dig your fingers into your cheek before letting your limb drop. ā€œNo, Johnā€¦I-Iā€™m sorry I justā€¦ā€Ā 
Your voice quivers.
Donā€™t cry, donā€™t cry, donā€™t cryā€¦
Eyes burning and nose twitching, you breathe heavily, mouth closing shut because you knew that if you say another word youā€™ll explode. You were shivering with cold sweat, scared and confused, and wanting John to hold you in his arms; whispering that it would all be okay into the shell of your ear.Ā 
You force through a sob, ā€œIā€™m just really scared.ā€
John tenses, one hand going to grasp the balcony with white knuckles. His mind goes into overdrive. ā€œScared?ā€ the Brit prods, muscles going stiff and mind running, ā€œWhat in the hell is going on?ā€Ā 
Authority leaks into his tone, serious and deep. It made him nervous that he couldnā€™t see you right nowā€”couldnā€™t stop the sounds coming from your mouth. Why were you crying? Has something horrible happened to you? Were you in trouble but were unable to tell him? John runs over your conversation again, every word and sound, as his heart races. He was wound up like a spring.Ā 
From behind him, the conversation in the hotel room halts.Ā 
You force your eyes closed, now up on your feet and pacing. Tears lightly patter to the floor.Ā 
ā€œJohn, I canā€™t tell you over the phone,ā€ you admit, shaking, ā€œthat wouldnā€™t beā€¦wouldnā€™t be fair to you.ā€ Swiping at your eyes, you spread the salty liquid away from your lashes, sniffling; praying that he would understand. ā€œBut I really need you home as soon as youā€™re able. I donā€™t want to break up what's going on over there, itā€™s just really important. I donā€™t think I can wait two months by myself. You know I would never ask this if I didnā€™t need to.ā€
Johnā€™s jaw clenches, legs unable to stay still as your anxiety leaks to him. Heā€™s nodding before he realizes you canā€™t see him, taking a deep breath to fill his lungs.Ā 
ā€œ...Iā€™ll see what I can do, then.ā€ The brunette runs his hand over his beard pulling at the strands aggressively. What was so crucial that you canā€™t tell him over the phone? It was a secure line, John always made sure it was; yet, at the same time, that fact didnā€™t matter at all. If you needed him home so ferventlyā€”then he was coming home. That was that. ā€œHow long can you wait for me, Love?ā€ He spares a glance inside. ā€œThere are a few loose ends that need to be taken care of here. Might complicate things.ā€Ā 
You blink around the bedroom, hand wrapped around your middle and trying to run soothing circles into your skin.Ā 
ā€œIā€¦I donā€™tā€¦ā€ Johnā€™s face softens, closing his eyes.
ā€œBreathe, Sweetheart,ā€ he whispers, ā€œIā€™m cominā€™ home to you. Weā€™ll get whatever this is sorted, yeah? I need you to be brave for me until then.ā€
Listening, you let the words calm you down, sniffling one last time like a kid who had fallen off the monkey bars before you let out a chuckle. John instantly follows his own advice when that sound wafts over the line. His shoulders fall back once more, silent sigh exiting.
ā€œYou said that exact same thing to me when I ended up burning that loaf of bread I was makingā€”two years ago, was it? ā€˜Breathe, Sweetheart.ā€™ā€ Blue glimmers with love, cheeky tone growing.Ā 
ā€œHm, nearly set the kitchen on fire, didnā€™t you? So much smoke I swore someone had set off a charge in the oven.ā€ John doesnā€™t push you to answer him, though heā€™s more questions than anything else at this point. Youā€™d said you would tell him when heā€™s home and he believes you. ā€œPlease, Love, at least promise me you didnā€™t burn the bloody house down, yeah?ā€Ā 
A laugh strikes his chest, and heā€™s chuckling slowly in retaliation.Ā 
ā€œI promise, John.ā€
ā€œGood.ā€ Youā€™re smiling for the first in what seems like ages, tears drying as the flood down your chin stops. You lick away the water stuck in the corner of your mouth when John grunts lowly, ā€œIā€™ll tell the boys and inform Laswell. But I canā€™t say itā€™ll be less than two weeks.ā€
Nodding to yourself, you say, quietly, ā€œOkay.ā€ Your eyes fall to the framed picture on the nightstandā€”the image of John and you smiling brightly on your third anniversary. Youā€™d gone hiking, both sweaty and dirt marks on your cheeks, but happyā€¦always happy. Your veins pump blood faster. ā€œI love you, John.ā€Ā 
The final comment is tender; the words are more silk and soft furs than vibrating vocal cords.Ā 
He blinks away the blush that lights his pale cheeks. John huffs, an infectious smile flickering over his face as his chest wells with affection. Acting like a bird preening itself, he smirks and says, ā€œWell, youā€™re lucky thenā€¦I love you too, Sweetheart.ā€ An exhalation echoes over the call as his tone drops, ā€œKeep safe for me, eh? Iā€™ll call to update tomorrow.ā€Ā 
ā€œIā€™ll be waiting.ā€Ā 
When the phone is set down on the bed, tossed down carefully, you try to think over this situation more rationally. You wouldnā€™t say you were against thisā€”building a family with John. In fact, if not him, then you donā€™t believe it would be anyone else.Ā 
The Brit was the only man for you. You both knew the risks of having unprotected sex and in reality, you think neither one of you cared about the consequences.Ā 
Nodding to yourself, you wonder how to explain this to him when he comes home as you get to fixing the sheets, one hand always drifting back to your stomach with a growing appreciation.
ā€”
John jogged to his car in the underground parking garage, unlocking it with his fob as his bags are slung over his shoulders. He wastes no time chucking his belongings into the back seat, swiftly sliding into the driver's seat and slamming the door shut as the engine starts. His dog tags bounce on his chest, but heā€™s half convinced they move from the rate that his heart is going alone.
All through traffic his fingers are tapping against the wheel, grunting stiffly at red lights and shifting his hips.Ā 
It had been three and a half weeks of fixing loose ends.Ā 
ā€œFuckinā€™ hell, cā€™mon,ā€ John huffs, one elbow on the car frame as his hand flattens over his lower jaw. The light slowly snaps back to green after a long minute.Ā 
Pressing on the gas, the vehicle moves forward and continues until the familiar home comes into view on that quiet street nearly twenty minutes later.Ā 
John barely parks the car before he hops out, leaving his bags in the back, and rushes to the door. Taking the key from under the doormat, his mind is focused on only you. He had been unable to stop his worry about you and your unnamed fear, watching the phone with every free instance he could. It had only grown as the days got longer, and no matter how much you assured him that you would be okay until he got back, deep-seated apprehension grew. He didnā€™t like living under a shroud, especially when it came to your health.
The key in his hand was inserted with a firm wrist and twisted, shoving open the door with a heavy shoulder like there was a cloud over his head.
ā€œLove?!ā€ He calls, not bothering to shuck off his boots before looking around the visible living room and foyer. ā€œWhere are you?ā€Ā 
Long legs move swiftly as an utterance calls from the kitchen, barely taking the time to close the door behind him in his anxiety, ā€œJohn?ā€Ā 
The Brit immediately backtracks, skidding to a stop and turning with blinking eyes. His ears twitch at the sounds of dishes being dropped back into water, as his heart steadily slows at the sound of your beautiful voice calling his name.Ā 
He rushes around the doorframe, feet stomping and hand catching the wall as you come into view, staring wide-eyed.Ā 
Your digits are around the fabric of a dish towel, fingers dripping as John finally presents himself to you. You hadnā€™t heard him until he had called out, too preoccupied with your own thoughts to hear the lock click.Ā 
But now it was like every worry you had was wiped clean at the sight of that gruff face; the hitch in his large chest. A smile slashes your lips after a moment of shocked silence.
ā€œJohn!ā€ You laugh, rushing forward, and the man lets his face softenā€”bringing you close to him as you draw near and trapping you in his arms.Ā 
His breath spread out over the top of your head in a great sigh, grumbled chuckles accented by the way Johnā€™s great hands wrap around your shoulders. Fingers press you into a solid chest, digging through hair to let your ear twitch at the sound of his heartbeat.Ā 
John doesn't speak until he has held you in his arms for at least three minutes, just pressing his face into your scalp and feeling your warmth against him. You donā€™t pull away either, breathing in his musk as it instinctually leads to your muscles loosening.Ā 
Minutes later, the Brit pulls back slowly, gripping you by the shoulders and looking down into your eyes. His gaze filters over yours, taking you in before his lips meet yours in a brief yet deep kiss. You melt into it, hands going to grip his cheeks and spread throughout his beard hair, soft strands leaving you shivering when Johnā€™s thumbs rub circles into your flesh.Ā 
He pulls back and you fight the tears in your eyes as he connects his forehead with yours. His optics shine with love, bleeding out like trapped stars; silver flecks of devotion and a blue the color of sea storms.
ā€œWhatā€™s going on, Love?ā€ John whispers, concern alight and raving as his grip goes to your waist, squeezing comfortingly. ā€œIā€™m here. Tell me.ā€Ā 
You blink slowly, lips going thin with tight brows. Swallowing through a tight throat, you nod.Ā 
ā€œCan you go sit in the living room, please?ā€ Speaking carefully, you tilt your head and watch John get confusedā€”his nose scrunching and moving his lips together. You run your thumbs over his cheeks and smile slightly, obviously nervous again. ā€œTrust me.ā€
Though it wasnā€™t a question, John replies under his breath, ā€œAlways.ā€Ā 
But still, he holds you, studying your expression and the whites of your eyes with stiff lungs. You were making him fear that something horrible was comingā€”something he couldnā€™t control. His heart begins to hurt, but he backs away from you, brows tight as he exits the kitchen and disappears into the living room.Ā 
Taking down a swift breath when heā€™s out of sight, you fiddle with your fingers above your abdomen, looking down at your still-flat stomach. You knew it was stupid to worry, but how could you not? It wasnā€™t every day you just told your Lover you were pregnant with his childā€¦
ā€œJohn loves me,ā€ you mutter to yourself, nodding and getting ready to go through with the plan youā€™d formed over the three weeks youā€™d been alone. ā€œAnd heā€™ll love the both of us. I know he will.ā€Ā 
Hand flattening over your stomach, you open a drawer with the other, pulling out a small cardboard box no bigger than a book. Fingers shaking, you lick your lips and feel the slight pull of a nervous, yet giddy, smile. Turning, you exit the kitchen and see John sitting with his nose resting above the clench of his fists, foot tapping. His head immediately snaps over when you come into view, hands falling to hang off his legs as the couch under him dips from his weight.Ā 
You steel yourself and raise the box.Ā 
ā€œHere.ā€ Placing it on the coffee table, you sit across from John in an armchair.Ā 
He blinks slowly, eyes going small with curiosity. The man sends you glances through his lashes as he stares down at the object but he says nothing. Rubbing his beard with one hand, he reaches and grabs it carefully.Ā 
Testing the weight, John is genuinely confused, clenching his jaw and feeling the material in his palm.Ā 
ā€œ...Whatā€™s this, then?ā€ He asks lowly, glancing at you with a raised brow and lines on his forehead.Ā 
You put your intertwined hands in your lap, prompting with a tilt of your shoulders.Ā 
ā€œOpen it.ā€ Off put by your cryptic answers, John nods firmly, grasping the top of the box and pulling lightly, careful not to disturb the contents. It was strange to think, but he was honestly quite perturbed.Ā 
What exactly was inside this box, and why had he been called home for it? He loved being here, no doubt, but the circumstancesā€¦.
Blue eyes glimmer. You didnā€™t look overly afraid as you shifted in your seat, just plain timidā€”like the inside object would change something fundamental about his and yours relationship.Ā 
John pops the top off and looks as you start talking before your throat threatens to shut you up. ā€œIā€¦I know itā€™s not a life-threatening thing to call you home for,ā€ the man stills as if he was made of stone; a statue as non-breathing and pulse-less as anything, ā€œBut I didnā€™t want to tell you over the phone because that seemed soā€”!ā€Ā 
Your voice is drowned out as Johnā€™s shaking fingers delve into the box, ears ringing. His fingers flinch off of three positive pregnancy tests and the soft fabric of the plain army green baby onesie that surrounds them; skimming slowly.Ā 
ā€œI found out the day you called and I said I had come down with something.ā€ Your laugh is strained when it exits you, and you stare at the Brit hard, seeing his features utterly halt all expression. Thumbs digging into your skin, your tone drops, speaking slowly, ā€œ...John? A-are you okay? Say something to me, Love.ā€Ā 
Itā€™s only in that long minute of nothingness that you really start to get an all-consuming tenseness to your bones like a rabbit.Ā 
Why isnā€™t he saying anything?Ā 
John clears his stiff throat, blinking rapidly as he brings out one of the tests, dropping the box lightly to the coffee table with a dull thump. The twin red lines are ingrained into the softness of his retinas as the sun would be if you were to stare directly at it.Ā 
Pregnant.Ā 
His heart swells to an almost painful degree, blue eyes moving to look at you across the table and then dipping to your stomach. The Brit stands up slowly.Ā 
Your lungs are tight, lids moving quickly with wetness growing in your tear ducts.Ā 
ā€œPlease, John, what are you thinkingā€”?ā€ Large hands capture your arms, bringing you up as lips meet yours in a passionate and heart-stopping kiss.Ā 
Johnā€™s limbs wrap around your hips, bringing you up into the air as gently as a bird, face parting from yours with a series of loud and genuine laughs. You snap your arms around his neck, shocked but not at all complaining as he holds you up with ease, twirling you around in a firm but ever-gentle hold.Ā 
ā€œYouā€™re pregnant?ā€ His whispers meet you, airy and deep with awe. It was like he was in his teens again, running around Herefordshire with his matesā€”his eyes shone with happiness; pure unabashed love. ā€œOh, truly, Sweetheart?ā€
Tears dribble down your cheeks at the sight of him glowing, beard peeled back in a large smile with wet eyes. Hiccuped giggles leave your lips as you nuzzle your face into his neck, the sight of him like this overwhelming. All stress leaves you in a millisecond when your feet hit the ground again.Ā 
ā€œYes, John,ā€ you sob, overjoyed, pulling back so you both can stare into each other's teary eyes as the Britsā€™ fingers go to shakily wipe the waterworks from your under eyes. His orbs flicker quickly, looking you over in an entirely different light. ā€œYouā€™re going to be a father.ā€Ā 
He fights through a scratchy voice, ā€œMe?ā€ The tone is amused, but he canā€™t articulate how exalted he feels to hear that. A fatherā€¦him? It was more than he could have ever asked for, and, even betterā€”John whispers out, ā€œYouā€™re going to be a mum.ā€Ā 
You kiss him, multiple quick pecks that he returns through shared joyous chuckles.
ā€œI didnā€™t want to tell you over the phone,ā€ the confession meets the air as one of Johnā€™s hands travels to cup your flat abdomen, fingers flinching over the fabric of your shirt to sneak under. You laugh and shiver at his calluses, as his blue eyes are so soft they could be compared to butter. ā€œAnd I couldnā€™t wait two months.ā€
ā€œChrist, Love,ā€ John lays a kiss on your forehead, needing to be as close to you as possible. You can feel his heart through his chest, and you know yours isnā€™t any better. This was far more than you could have hoped for. He mutters against your skin, ā€œIā€™m so glad you didnā€™t. This is bloody amazing newsā€”I want to be here for all of it.ā€Ā 
Sea storms lock onto your face with a grunt, ā€œYouā€™re so lovely. Perfect, yeah?ā€
His warm hand still rests under your shirt, and you doubt itā€™s going to leave anytime soon.
You feel your cheeks heat and you smile bashfully, heart about to explode.
ā€œYou are.ā€ John reiterates. ā€œYouā€™re so fuckinā€™ perfect, Sweetheart. Iā€™m so happy.ā€Ā 
The air is ripe with tenderness, a soft state of being that just keeps getting better. John had silent tears dripping down his face, blinking to clear them and not letting you leave his hold for a second.Ā 
ā€œOh, John,ā€ you whisper, digging your fingers into the back of his shirt, looking up. ā€œMe too, Love.ā€Ā 
While the glee is nearly physical enough to grab, there is a moment of hesitancy in the Brit. He was gone more times than not for work; put into situations that could leave him going through bodily harm. You didnā€™t deserve that stressā€”didnā€™t deserve to sit at home with a swelling stomach just watching the door and wondering if youā€™d have to become a single mother. You had a child in your womb. His child. Both of yoursā€™ child.Ā 
A family that you both had made.
John swallows and says to you seriously, without an ounce of hesitation in his blood, ā€œIā€™m telling Laswell to pull me out,ā€ you blink up and listen, letting him continue as his press on your flesh gets even more prominent, nodding to you, ā€œIā€™m not missing thisā€”not putting you through that worry. Two years, then Iā€™ll head back in. We have enough saved, I give you my word youā€™ll want for nothing.ā€Ā 
Blue eyes flicker down, and a small mumble so tiny it nearly disappears hits your ears. You almost start sobbing again. ā€œThis is more important. You both are more important.ā€Ā 
There were few moments in your life that you think youā€™ll remember when you are old, weathered and wrinkled, but this you tell yourself is one that you will carry to your grave. John and yoursā€™ grave.Ā 
What remains behind, you ask? Simple.
White bones entangled with an eternity of deathless worship, and the generations that will come to lay flowers on the headstone.

Cold-hearted Wolf
Tags: Angst, fluff, arranged marriage, eventual smut, cregan is repressed and mean at first, then falls for the reader.
Tumblr media
Master list
Pairing: Cregan Stark x Martell princess reader
All fiction, the reader is a made-up character. Im a long-time reader, but first-time writer.
Chapter 1 - Every decision Cregan Stark made was with a heavy sense of duty to his people. And this union, this upcoming wedding with the Martell girl, was no different. In his mind, you were just a pretty decoration, spoiled by the sun and riches of Dorne.
The skies over Winterfell were gray. The Martells of Dorne had arrived, bringing with them a warmth that was foreign to the North.
Cregan Stark was a formidable figure, trained to rule and fight from a young age. Past generations of Starks ran in his veins. Every decision he made was with a heavy sense of duty to his people. And this union, this upcoming wedding with the Martell girl, was no different. He saw it as a political move. In his mind, you were just a pretty decoration, spoiled by the sun and riches of Dorne.
You, on the other hand, were a bright-eyed girl. Though you have been trained in combat since a young age, as per Dornish custom, you had always been drawn to beauty ā€“ not war. The tales of the dashing Northern warrior had you intrigued. Since your announced engagement, you had imagined him with the ice of the North in his eyes and a heroic presence. And as the two of you finally met, you weren't disappointed. He was every bit the man of your dreams.
"You're as handsome as they say, my Lord," you offered with a smile and a bow, your voice tinged with genuine admiration.
Cregan simply nodded, taking you in. You were dressed in a gown the color of a sunset, your bare shoulders and collarbone a bit too revealing by Northern standards, and he could see the goosebumps lining your skin.
You began to second guess your wardrobe as you felt yourself shiver. Your maids tried to warn you of the exposed dress, however, you had told them that it would all be worth it once he sees your beauty.
You overheard a snicker come from the crowd. One of Creganā€™s men, unable to resist, whispered loudly, "Looks like the sun forgot a few places."
You blushed as Cregan turned to give the man a deadly look, and the man's smirk instantly dropped.
Creganā€™s icy grey eyes fixed on you again. "It's quite cold in the North, princess.ā€
You chuckled nervously. ā€Yes, my lord. I seem to have forgotten.ā€
Instead of reciprocating your attempt at a joke, he took off the wolf hide around his shoulder and wrapped it around you. You accepted the warmth with gratitude.
ā€œPerhaps in time, you'll learn to dress as befits the wife of a Stark." Was all he offered.
The words landed as a sharp jab. Your smile dropped as you looked down at yourself. You had tried, tried so hard to look beautiful for him, to make a good impression. Instead, you felt the weight of his disappointment.
The ceremony that followed was quite somber. Cregan was stoic. He did his duty, saying the words, making the vows, as did you. But there was a distance between the two of you. As the festivities went on, and the music played, he had not called upon you once to accompany him to the floor.
As you sat, your excitement slowly faded. You felt out of place. And as the night went on, you couldn't help but wonder if this marriage of convenience would ever know genuine affection.
----------------------------------------------------------
On the morning after his wedding, Cregan woke up to an unusual sound ā€“ he could have sworn he heard footsteps echoing outside his window. The chill air from the cracked open window mixed in with the fire in the hearth as he rose from his bed of furs. He looked to his side and stirred when he didn't see his bride's sleeping form beside him.
His loyal dog stirred beside the bed. "Easy, Grey," Cregan whispered, his hand soothingly running through the thick fur of his pet, who settled back down.
A glance out the window revealed a figure descending the roofs of Winterfell. As Cregan squinted against the early morning sun, he saw a figure in tight riding leathers, hair escaping from the hood in a braid. The figure turned to assess the distance to the ground, and beneath the hood, he recognized your distinct features. Unaware of his gaze, you scaled down the tower.
Panic briefly gripped Cregan at the thought of you falling. However, as you maneuvered with ease, his concern turned to curiosity. "Where are you going, princess?" He asked no one in particular.
Quickly dressing and concealing his identity with a hood, Cregan descended the stairs of the castle, avoiding working servents to sneak into the barn.
In the quiet darkness of the barn, Cregan spoke softly to his horse, Storm, as he saddled him. He clicked his tongue, guiding the horse as he followed you out of the castle.
Amidst the early morning silence of Winterfell, Cregan spotted you again, tossing a rope around one of the gate's stone columns. With a graceful swing, you scaled the wall before landing nimbly outside the castle grounds.
Cregan urged his horse onward, determined to follow your path.
----------------------------------------------------------
Having successfully snuck out of the castle (your gymnastics instructor was right in saying you would someday need the skill), you now stood behind a railing, quietly overlooking the jeweller at work in his shop.
Yesterday, the same jeweler had gifted you a stunning silver bracelet, crafted to resemble a viper wrapped around your hand. It occupied your thoughts pretty much the whole night, lighting the desire for a matching one for your other hand. Your early morning escapade confirmed the jeweler's location, and here he wasā€”the handsome man, strands of grey hair falling on his forehead as he worked.
"What are you doing?" A voice whispered behind you.
You gasped, jumping to face Cregan, who leaned against the window with an air of anger, clad in riding leathers, his hood hiding part of his face. His eyes roamed over you in suspicion.
You blinked in surprise to meet his gaze. "My lord," you said, questioning. "Did you follow me?"
Raising a single brow, Cregan responded, "Merely concerned over my wife's reputation, what with the sneaking out of castle grounds, out of our marriage bed, no less, in the break of dawn."
Noting the harshness in his words, you retorted. "I don't see why there has to be an issue, given that everyone in Winterfell knows I belong to you anyway."
Something stirred within him at your words, and he took a couple of steps forward, backing you against the railing.
"That's right," he murmured, his voice low so as to not get you two caught. "It will be good you remembered it as well. Do you often sneak away into strange menā€™s homes?"
You, over your haze since last night, were unimpressed, maintaining your composure, responded, "Should I be alarmed by your sudden interest in me?"
Cregan, feeling oddly aggressive, leaned in, his lips dangerously close to your ear. "Alarmed or not, wife, I am the one who will leave a lasting mark on you."
Your heart sped up, and you felt an odd warmth in the pit of your stomach where his hand lay. You were a princess, after all. No one had ever spoken to you in such a commanding tone before.
You let him pull you through the window, and the two of you took his horse to find your way back to the castle. Neither spoke during the ride.

hi im sick and the fever is cooking my braincells so here's some insane mclennon analysis from the infirmed:
they're doomed yaoi to me because their natures made it impossible for them to be together. paul's number 1 driving force is his pursuit of "success." he needed to meet every societal milestone to feel successful, having a wife and kids was important to him for that projection of success (among other reasons I'm sure, but this was one he couldn't ever get from john). paul undoubtedly loved john and reciprocated in some capacity. i say this with confidence because while john is naturally obsessive and jealous, i don't think he would've had as hard of a time moving on from paul for so long (up until he died practically) if his relationship with paul was purely unrequited yearning. there's just no way. paul curates his image so thoroughly that even he struggles to find the "real" paul underneath it all. it's much easier for him to hide this part of himself than it is for john, and that's the simple reason we have more evidence from him than we do paul. for paul, whatever relationship he had with john was one he always knew would be sidelined. if the sexual side was something that he did expect to continue long term, i think he would've been okay having his wife and kids and john on the side at the same time. (i do fully believe he liked jane, but she was definitely a very convenient beard, and i think she knew that on some level. hence the sudden break up that she swore to never talk about?) that was always how they did it. im sure they had some unspoken understanding between the two of them that the other was always the most important one in their heart despite the girls and wives they kept around.
i say unspoken because i don't think john really saw it the same way. he needed paul and he needed the other beatles desperately. he was the one to suggest they live together on that greek island. cynthia saw this in him and tried to make him realize he needed them more than they needed him. i think he wanted paul all to himself, and the rational side of him probably knew it was a delusional dream, but it meant that whatever way he could actually get paul was never going to be enough for him. his life probably had an insistent undercurrent of disappointment and frustration. somewhere along the line i think they finally tried to talk about the future of their relationship and paul probably didn't give john the answer that he wanted. john needed paul so much that not having him at all was better than only having part of him. he's the type that needs a unfailingly loyal soul mate who's just as obsessed as he is, and i think he found that desire satisfied in yoko who was willing to play along. i think paul's answer probably made john vindictive and spiteful, but i think a part of him still believed that things would continue the way they were between them. maybe he still overestimated how much paul needed him, or underestimated paul's ability to move on from him. (a bit of projection happening there probably) but his surprise when paul married linda, who he thought (hoped?) was another short term girlfriend, and his belief that they wouldn't last very long tells me that he still was clinging on to the chance that paul would come running back and prove his loyalty and love to him. everything john did around this time reads like an act of spite as well as a kind of impossible test for paul. paul never passed them and i think that's where much of john's resentment that yoko talks about came from. paul could never give him what he wanted and john kind of set him up for failure in that way, but still blamed him for the aftermath.
anyways, moral of the story is, paul's rigid need to chase perfection doomed his relationship with john, and john's need for all or nothing love doomed his relationship with paul.

types of kisses the uppermoons would prefer from this list
cw: kissing, fluff, morning kisses, forehead, nose, cheek, neck, lip kisses, pda, pinning against wall, jealousy (if u squint), lap, slight suggestive (mostly in muzan and dōmaā€™s part), slight ooc (especially for muzan but itā€™s my hc muzan in private that we should all be well acquainted with), simpery bc have you met me, manga spoilers for dōma
a/n: this has sat in my apple notes app for wayyyyyyyy too long now
the list (creds to a tumblr i forgot the name of i saved this a long time ago):
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Kibitsuji Muzan
5, 1, 4, 7, 10, 13
5 (in secret kiss): this is muzan weā€™re talking about. no way is he showing you his affection in public. i know i have my whole ā€˜softie in privateā„¢ļøā€™ muzan thing (really have to think of a better name), but key word: private. the day he shows affection in public is the day i stop liking kpop (jk iā€™ll never stop).
1 (good morning kiss): since muzan is a softie in privateā„¢ļø, he will gladly shower you with good morning kisses as soon as he wakes up. if you are asleep it does not matter, heā€™s waking you up.
4 (kiss on the neck): heā€™s a demon, who i believe has a side of him thatā€™s very flirty and spicy. if youā€™re a human and you give consent, heā€™s kissing, biting, licking your neck and feeding off the blood from there. if youā€™re a demon, heā€™s still going to kiss, bite, lick, and suck your neck. he is not picky
7 (against a wall kiss): muzan + secretly very into steamy stuff + very dominant = muzan who loves a place where he can cage you in and watch you get flusteredĀ 
10 (jealous kiss): as an extraordinarily possessive person, muzan would get jealous A LOT. which leads to a lot of jealous kisses.
13 (lap kiss): especially when heā€™s jealous or horny. letā€™s be honest we all know heā€™d do this if you were an actual object of his affection.
Tumblr media
Kokushibo
3, 5, 7, 8
3 (kiss on the nose): letā€™s be honest, besides lip kisses, this is the only place on his face that you can kiss. his forehead is almost nonexistent and his cheeks are just eyes, unless youā€™d like to kiss those.
5 (in secret kiss): i feel like since kokushibo is so loyal to muzan, he wouldnā€™t want to kiss you in public since heā€™d either be in front of muzan or in the human world. besides, heā€™s more introverted and a demon so i donā€™t think heā€™s big on kisses in public for your reputation especially
7 (against a wall kiss): i donā€™t even know why, i just feel like heā€™d like to flex his height on you if youā€™re shorter than him (which is likely, heā€™s 190 cm/6ā€™3ā€). since heā€™s so tall, why not flex the height while making it intimate?
8 (top of head kisses): again, on his head there are only so many places to kiss since you miss two facial features. heā€™d like kissing your head, but since heā€™s likely so much taller it makes him feel secret butterflies when you manage to kiss his head
Tumblr media
Dōma (istg i hate this man yall dōma simps better be glad im writing for him)
iā€™m tempted to include everything but iā€™ll just put: 4, 7, 10, 12, 13
4 (kiss on the neck): this guy is the most thirsty demon (second only to karaku obvi) and we all know it. heā€™d probably get grumpy if he couldnā€™t kiss ur neck at least 10 times a day (separately. the 20 something neck kisses he gave when you woke up only count as one).
7 (against a wall kiss): dōma isā€¦ā€¦ā€¦ well itā€™s dōma, the same guy who says akaza might get stronger if he eats women, the same guy who wanted to make inosukeā€™s mother his wife, the same guy who forms a crush on the people he kills. using that logic he will gladly pin you up against the wall and kiss you until youā€™re essentially a tomato. he will not stop even then, he wonā€™t stop unless a
pressing matter appears (aka nothing).
10 (jealous kiss): he gets jealous easily, so why not kiss you out of jealousy too?
12 (accidentally witnessed kiss): using the same logic as 7, he loves showing you off, unlike the previous two demons. he will ā€œaccidentallyā€ leave the door wide open when he pins you on the bed and kisses the breath out of your lungs (a common occurrence) and sucks a lot of the blood right out of your veins (another common occurrence. did you ask/want/let him? i donā€™t know, but i doubt it. sorry)
13 (lap kiss): do i need to explain more?Ā 
no.Ā 
will i?Ā 
yes.
this manā€¦ chances are heā€™s not keeping it in his pants for that one.
Tumblr media
Akaza (ITS THE BASKETBALL! *said with love*)
2, 8, 9, 13
2 (forehead kiss): since he actually has one (looking at you koku), heā€™s kissing yours and youā€™re kissing his. thatā€™s how itā€™s going to work and chances are heā€™s going to be a blushing mess because he is weak to even a womanā€™s glance *watches him sip respect women juice*
8 (top of head kisses): idek why i just feel like heā€™d enjoy them.
9 (shy kiss): heā€™s shy boi with women. we all know this. when you two are in private and heā€™s not busy punching dōmaā€™s face off (i love it when he does), he is with you. with you while somehow being shy even though ur dating
13 (lap kiss): heā€™s a respectful demon, so heā€™s not going to drinkĀ your blood,Ā but he is going to act like it with the way heā€™s kissing your neck roughly
Tumblr media
Sekido
4, 6, 7, 10
4 (kiss on the neck): letā€™s be honest, his name means accumulated anger and he quite literally has anger written on his tongue, heā€™s being rough with his kissing and trying (and failing) to let off some steam. absolutely the roughest out of every uppermoon, if you thought muzan and dōma were biting a lot get ready to meet this guy. he will not stop until your neck is quite literally all red. props to you for not passing out, although you probably already did
6 (public kiss): he is angry in public, and he will kiss you to try and calm down (not like it works)
7 (against a wall kiss): probably pushes you a bit too hard since he doesnā€™t know his own strength.
10 (jealous kiss): i donā€™t think i need to explain, just look at 6
Tumblr media
Karaku
4, 7, 12, 13
4 (kiss on the neck): ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦ if itā€™s not obvious iā€™m sorry for you. the kanji on his tongue is literally pleasure
7 (against a wall kiss): again, i donā€™t need to explain
12 (accidentally witnessed kiss): like with dōma, the kiss is only ā€œaccidentallyā€ witnessed. he totally didnā€™t leave the door wide open as he pinned you up against the wall
13 (lap kiss): ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦.. YES
Tumblr media
Aizetsu
5, 8, 9, 12
5 (in secret kiss): shyer than akaza šŸ„¹!Ā (heā€™s so precious im sry)Ā every single time he kisses you itā€™s a shy kiss.
8 (top of head kisses): chances are heā€™s taller, so he kisses your head when he feels lonely. most of the time youā€™ll also be cuddling in bed
9 (shy kiss): just read 5
12 (accidentally witnessed kiss): unlike dōma and karaku, it is a genuine accident. he didnā€™tĀ meanĀ to leave the door open when he wanted to cuddle with you and shower you with kisses, he just did
Tumblr media
Urogi
1, 6, 7
1 (good morning kiss): loves these. more specifically, loves receiving these. he doesnā€™t necessarily need sleep, but when he does wind up falling asleep, itā€™s next to you. youā€™ll usually wake up before him and wake him up with the good morning kisses he adores so much
6 (public kiss): his name means sky joy and ur telling me he wouldnā€™t get so happy he starts making out with you in public? he also just likes lowkey showing you off
7 (against a wall kiss): signature move: gets so happy he pins you against a wall and makes out with you
Tumblr media
Gyutaro
2, 3, 4, 11
2 (forehead kiss), 3 (kiss on the nose), 4 (kiss on the neck): please give this poor man some love. he grew up only living for his sister and everyone else turning up their nose at him. forehead, nose, cheek, neck, everything kisses are a must
11 (first kiss): your first kiss with him was magical, whether it was also your first kiss is up to you, but it was definitely his and he relished in every moment of it.

okay, so. i have loved pjo since i was 12 and this can definitely be explained also by the fact percy is so freaking hot. this days i was thinking about our boy and just have to share some of the stuff i thought about him in all this years. here we go with some headcanons of bf percy and percy in general;;
ā€¢ i have a thing for silver chain necklaces. you know, one of this things every hot guy has? yeah. percy does wears one. his mother give it to him probably. and he never takes it off. it reflects the sun when he's surfing, stands out on his tanned skin, touches your face when he's on top of you kissing you or whatever else
ā€¢ percy IS an nba obsessed. he will invite you to watch the games with him and will give you his personal opinion about the players, the moves, even the uniforms if you want to know.
ā€¢ he secretly is zodiac guy. like, in front of his friends or any public conversation he will deny it. but if you're into it, and just says something like "our zodiact signs are compatible!" he'll be happy about it and feel like he's part of something magical, you know? like he's known all along that you're supposed to be together.
ā€¢ talking about interests: he definitely will listen with heart eyes whatever you talk about. books? shows? basketball or another sport? celebrities drama? taylor swift folklore's love triangle? he's here for it. laying on his bed with you sitting by his side telling him about it, and he's just staring at your beautiful eyes and playing with your hair
ā€¢ he also love movies. he has an letterboxd account which he is religiously active on. also, he give extra stars to the movies you watch togheter just because he is on a good mood.
ā€¢ btw, when he's calling you to watch a movie, it is to watch a movie. boy take the movies thing really serious.
ā€¢ he will be watching barbie AND oppenheimer. and he will take you to both.
ā€¢ percy can't sleep without being tangled with you. he's an huge touchy guy, bear hugs, forehead kisses, hands on your waist, head laying down on your chest. he just loves the feeling of your body with him
ā€¢ bro is an biology princess. is the only thing he really found interesting. he loves nature, the sea, the animals.... everybody knows he's going to do marine biology. he's not an working-on-office-all-day type of person so 99% of chance of him working saving marine animals on an research group.
ā€¢ his instagram profile would totally be about animals he saved. him just doing āœŒļøšŸ¤˜šŸ‘‰šŸ‘with some type of turtle or an aquarium of clown fishes
ā€¢ you gave him different marine stuffed animals and he keeps it on his shelf, right on the side of a picture of you and him on a beach day.
ā€¢ as soon as he gets money, he will take you to a summer on greece.
ā€¢ he is so fucking loyal. he CAN'T like anyone else. he just thinks about you. in a way that is almoust obsessive.
ā€¢ also, kind jealous. okay, im trying to be nice with him, he's very very jealousy guy. not because he doesn't trust you or your love for him, but because he doesn't trust other people. at least, thats what he says everytime he sees this one friend of yours
ā€¢ percy is a tattoo guy. he will have symbols, greek words, abstract stuff, strong animals.... and your initials on his chest once he knows for sure you're here to stay.
ā€¢ i saw that jeremy allen white keeps a letter of his wife with him to read when he's missing home and i just can't get it out of my mind. percy will totaly take a small peace of paper with something you wrote to him when he's traveling to research or smth and read it before going to sleep šŸ˜«šŸ˜«šŸ˜«
humm alright. i think that's it for today. i love percy he's so fucking sweet. also, english is not my first language and i had never write for tumblr before soooooo sorry for anything.
hope you enjoyed and stuff šŸ’Ŗ
HEY! we have a part. 2 :)

In streamer au male reader was self aware and teases some of the characters like when he doesn't come home they'll receive a message from him saying "better luck next time "insert reader emote""and maybe can come out of the game and many chaotic things
Genshin Impact Streamer AU (Self-Aware Reader)
letss gooo?? omg what a hot new character!!! woahh... and they're reading these words...???
Tumblr media
You slyly smiled as you dodged those pesky pink and blue wishes. They looked more like meteorites the more you practically danced above the clouds, the little wishes becoming faster and... more desperate? ...Hah. They must be the one spawning these things, hm? How cute. Perhaps it'd be fun to tease them a bit. After all, now I know how needy you are for me <3 (im sorry)
"Better luck next time~!" They literally slam their desk, dramatically crying as they lose their pity to someone else. NOOO- PLEASE! THEY SKIPPED SO MANY OTHER CHARACTERS WAITING FOR YOU!! (And so many sacrificial rituals-) They just need to get you so they can stare at you for hours in the game! Their chat spams them with crying emojis and encouraging words, while others laugh at their misery, finding them amusing. Wait, wait wait. You winked? You spoke? ...Wait, was that a new feature? OH GOD THAT'S SO HOT- TEASE THEM MORE- Kaeya, Childe (only skipped other characters to stay loyal to you. he's a good wife! and only reason he's crying is because you keep purposely dodging his wishes even after he was guaranteed getting you! mans has enough money to keep at it anyway), Kaveh (prolly starved to get you lmfao. HE ATE CAT FOOD), Lyney, Venti, Heizou
Just stares at you as you tease them, saying to them "Better luck next time~!" Theories are going through their head... The math is mathing... The brain is braining... Hmm... šŸ¤” Albedo, Alhaitham, Heizou
Takes a billion screenshots of the textbox, repeating to themselves again and again "better luck next time" with a happy smile, taking this as you noticing them. They think nothing of this "new feature", thinking that Genshin just slid this in without telling anyone. I guess they're too happy to be properly teased...? Ayaka, Childe, Thoma
Not surprised but still crying their hearts out. RIP the sacrifice of their wallets. Mona, Bennett (platonic).
Now, when you literally get out of the screen...?
Oh, my! Who's this fine person? Wait, it's you? Sheesh, you look better up close! WAIT WHAT- (internally freaking out but very blushy blushy) Childe, Xiao, Diluc, Wanderer, Lyney, everyone.
Just straight up gets on one of their knees. They've had dreams about this moment. They've written fanfics about this moment. And who cares if this is an hallucination or dream? They're going to make the damn most of it! Taking out their carefully crafted and customized wedding ring, that they bought just for this fantasy, they propose to you. "Will you... marry me?!" Albedo, Yae (She's written and published actual fanfics of you), Childe, Itto
They pass out. That's it. I guess you're just that hot, huh? You might have to help them~ Ayaka, Itto, Kaveh
Literally so embarrassed. They're just in their pajamas, slightly messy hair and all. Regardless or not this is a dream, they have to look good for you 24/7! Ayaka, Cyno, Neuvillette, Xiao
You look around, seeing their room filled with merch of you. Blankets with your face on them, towels with your face on them, posters, figurines, shrines, etc. And... And... IS THAT A POSTER OF JUST YOUR ABS-!? And a f*cking CAT named after you!? Oh god. Get me out of here. some people...
A few days later...
They've adorned you with the softest, coziest pajamas! They're now currently trying to convince you to sleep with them in their bed. Maybe sneak in a few cuddles or two... "Let me love you and show you how special you are <3" Childe, Ayato, Alhaitham, Albedo, Diluc, Neuvillette, Wriothesley, Kazuha, etc...
Not afraid to show you to other people, even though they have a literal fictional character with them. "Hey! Here's my hot lover!" "Wha-? ...I might have to steal them from you. Ahem! Oh, do they like cosplaying or something?" Alhaitham (knows he can get away with just saying that you cosplay a lot), Albedo ("oh? they just like cosplaying."), Childe ("don't care, lol. anyway, look at my hot spouse-"), Ayato ("cosplaying."), Heizou ("just say that you're cosplaying!")
Constantly trying to hide you. After all, they have a literal fictional character who came out a game! Who knows what people will do if they know of this?! Sucrose, Wanderer (he just doesn't want people to look at what's his), Diluc, Ayaka
Panicking and blushing hardcore every time they see you. Oh, goodness... Do you even know how perfect you look everyday?! How perfect you are each and every second?! They blush so much just from looking at you... How are they going to survive with you living with them from now on?! Everyone.
INDIVIDUAL STORIES: CHILDE, XIAO
AGGHHH! STOP DODGING THEIR WISHES!! THEY LITERALLY SPENT THEIR LIFE SAVINGS FOR YOU šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­
Wait- Life savings? Pfft, nah. That's just some spare change. Childe sighs, dramatically slumping in his chair as he loses the 50/50. The chat was currently going wild on him, making fun of him for getting the wrong character.
"LLLLL" "šŸ’€šŸ’€šŸ’€" "can't believe he lost šŸ˜­" "wait, why is everyone reacting as if he doesn't have over 9999 wishes?" "lmfao"
The ginger man pouts, whining cutely. "Chaaattt~! Stop making fun of me! I'll get them this time! It's guaranteed anyway!"
"...Huh?"
Childe blinks, seeing your splash art... move? ...Huh. That's weird. Did Genshin add this new feature? Usually, the splash art doesn't move when on the initial summoning screen.
"Huh??? Is this a new feature?" "Damn, you really are Genshin's golden child..." "omfggg step on me this new chara so hot" "love this new character, i'll be yo baby mama trust"
Childe huffs, seeing a text on his screen, a bit confused, but slightly amused nonetheless.
"Better luck next time~! <3"
"Hmph, just you wait, darl- comrade! I'll get you!"
Xiao's face reddens on stream, clicking onto the wishing screen, seeing your splash art. God, he wants you so badly. Too bad he's not guaranteed you since he won his last 50/50. He just hopes he'll win this one too. ...My, you're still as hot as ever! His chat seemed to agree.
"AHHHH WE'RE ACTUALLY DOING IT" "I WANT THEM TOO" "marry meeeeee new chara"
Well, here goes his primogems... Down the drain it goes!
Click.
Please, please, please- He loves you so badly-
He'll get on his knees for you! Just come home!
His breath hitches, seeing a golden star appear on his screen.
He's all entirely yours! Just please-!
After a few clicks, hurriedly rushing through the three-star weapons, Xiao's eyes land on Keqing.
Xiao frowns, returning back to the initial summoning screen after a couple more clicks, wistfully staring at your splash art. Great. He didn't have anymore primogems for you.
He suddenly chokes, jolting slightly in his chair as he sees you winking at him, mouthing the words "Better luck next time~! šŸ˜˜" as a textbox appears with the same exact words.
Damn. Now even his love a fictional character was teasing him!
Bonus: (aka my drafts)
"Aggghh... I spent so much money!!" Childe huffed as he kept clicking the 10-pull button repeatedly, staring at his screen as if in a trance. "...Oh, right. I'm rich!" His chat exploded with comments such as:
"Bruh you FORGOT that you're rich??" "rich people problems" "dude lost the 50/50 LMFAO HELP" "MY GUY YOU HAVE A BILLION INTERTWINED FAINTS WHAT YOU ON ABOUT šŸ’€šŸ’€šŸ’€"
Childe thought out loud, thinking to himself. "Oh, but maybe my darling will appreciate it if I do another ritual and sacrifice-"
"What, you're going to push another fictional cat off of Liyue's dock-?"
bonus bonus: (another scrapped draft!)
merch. merch. merch. Your face on a hoodie? Wallet out. A rip-off figurine version of you when you're doing the fisheye meme? Bank account out. Doesn't matter. If your face is on it, give. Their fans think that they're too obsessed with you, but they don't see your true beauty!! Literally browses and buys merch of you on stream. "Hey, chat, which item do you think looks better? I think this potted plant version of them looks nice, but maybe we should buy them as a smegsy raccoon-" Wha...? We don't have anymore money...? JUST SELL THE HOUSE-
Tumblr media
me when my partner doesnt do his part and its worth 50 percent of our grade
