#anyway did you know that platonic cuddling exists

[harteofthehart-ayyy]

Do people here know you can cuddle platonically

[blueberri-blu]

Here’s me with request #3! (Hey it rhymed!)

For my third request, I want it to be ROTTMNT Donnie x Reader where the reader has illogical powers and Donnie is studying them to figure out why they have them. Chaos ensues.

Please include writing prompt 17 and make the relationship between Donnie and the Reader be platonic.

Of course! Absolutely loved this idea! Also, I'm so sorry for responding so late, I've been stuck with exams :c, anyway, here's what I came up with:

Chaos —✧۝

Prompt 17: "Damn it, why aren't you obeying the laws of physics?"

—✧۝—✧۝—✧۝—✧۝—✧۝—✧۝—✧۝—✧۝—✧۝—✧

So... You guys were all in the mystic library

And you decided that a book titled Guabancex

You thought it was interesting and decided to grab it, obviously

I mean, how were you supposed to know, really

It looked like a completely normal book

Nonetheless, the weird black and grey swirls of -what you thought- were magic didn't seem all too normal

Or safe

—✧۝—✧۝—✧۝—✧۝—✧۝—✧۝—✧۝—✧۝—✧۝—✧

You and the Turts are at April's place, just happy to have been able to save Mayhem

However, you weren't feeling good

And once Mayhem was out

He was all over you, sniffing you, and cuddling you

You were very confused to say the least

Then... You sneezed

And suddenly there was a huge rain cloud over all of you

And you were all soaked

That's when all of them turned to look at you

Only to see this symbol on your forearm

"y/n..."

"Yea...?"

"what. Did. You. Do."

"haha... whatdoyoumeandonnieididntdoanything"

"uhm... Raph thinks that you aren't telling the truth"

"Yea... Uh... Amigo, you don't usually just achoo and then boom! Tormenta"

"It was really cool! But uh... Yea I don't think humans can usually do that"

"haha..... Uhm so maybeitouhedareallycoollookingbook"

"and... What did this book say, exactly?"

"I uh, I think it said Guabancex?"

"THE DEITY OF CHAOS FROM THE TAINO MYTHOLOGY?!"

"uh... Maybe?"

—✧۝—✧۝—✧۝—✧۝—✧۝—✧۝—✧۝—✧۝—✧۝—✧

"Y/N WHAT THE ACTUAL FU-"

It has been a few weeks and your powers are so random, that they are driving Donnie insane

He has a whole spreadsheet filled with the occasion, what you were doing, and what power emerged

It seemed like the most common one was weather and/or water related powers

But other than that, they were completely random

Donnie had you in his Lab, hooked up to... Who knows what

"look, if I can find the pattern... There is always a pattern... It's the basic unit of... Everything!"

"uhm, don?"

"Donnie! It's fine! If anything you should find out the course so that you can make something to suppress it!"

"No. Y/n. I must, nothing is spontaneous!"

"Yea no, that's fine but uh ... Donnie I'm floating"

He turned to see you floating as if gravity didn't exist

"exasperated sigh, damnit, why aren't you obeying the laws of physics!"

"oh! OH! Y/N! YES! YOU'VE TRULY HELPED ME!"

Donnie stayed in his lab for 2 weeks, finally giving you a bracelet that could help you tell when a power was going to show up.

So although Donnie in the beginning, tries really freaking hard to understand them... Later on he'll just accept it.

I am so freaking sorry for how long this took me, I was stuck with finals and some personal things going on, so I'm really sorry if this isn't as well written. But! I hope you enjoy it anyway!

Thank you for your request <3

[cherrysmokesaconha]

im embarrassed/shy to admit it on main but ever since ive first seen 2trenchcoat it's been constantly rotting my brain ever since/pos

id enjoy learning more about them.. like, how did they end up meeting and why did they get together? or maybe what they like doing together to pass the time, idk. u can yap as much as you'd like. its really cute, i love the ship and art you make of it a lot :33

Awww hi Anon! Thank you so much, I really appreciate it!! ^_^

Okay, let's go yapping... Lol

Derick and 2004 Tord first didn't know about each others names, since they were just working at Eddsworld Studios (they just knew that they existed lol)

Derick always thought that Tord was cool since they both loves black trench coats, they were basically the only two people who wears trench coats in the studio. Derick felt like Tord and him were special.

Them Derick felt interested in Tord (platonic first) and then wanted to interact more with him, since they both lived together, even though they didn't know each other, Derick realized how much he had in common with Tord.

Derick usually wakes up early and Tord rarely does. And the time they both woke up early, Derick noticed that Tord also liked bat things, like cups or pajamas. (They were having breakfast) Basically, I like to imagine this was their first interaction ever. Derick noticed Tord's pajamas and Tord noticed his pajamas as well, so yeah.

And over time, Derick discovered more about Tord. When everyone found out that Edd, Tord, and Tom saved Christmas, Derick was impressed that Tord liked Christmas as much as he did.

With these things in common, Derick became even more interested in Tord. And after fighting his shyness, he decided to start a chat with him. And so, they discovered more about their tastes and how similar they were.

Tord said he liked anime, Derick did too (a little). Tord said he liked guns, Derick did too. Tord said his favorite magazine was Maniac Mansion 2004 Special Edition, this was Derick's favorite too. So, with so much to share between them, they decided to become friends.

When 2004 Tord and Derick weren't busy with personal stuff (such as Tord's storyboard or Derick's stuff as a hitman in The Troublemakers), they would go somewhere in the studio to chat and talk about lots of stuff.

Derick was the first one to fall in love, Tord fell in love later.

I remember saying about their first meeting, where it was pretty funny and embarrassing for both sides, but at least they were now kind of together. One of the moments of their first date was when Derick bought Tord some flowers and discovered he wasn't really a fan of flowers, he wasn't mad about it, he just thought it was funny. (I will try searching for this ask later. Will edit this when I find it) (edit: found it muahaha >:3c)

They felt like they were made for each other, both in terms of their shared interests and how they treated each other. They both had their flaws, but nothing got in the way of their relationship. They cared for each other and looked out for each other like never before. Basically, they both fell in love with each other for the same reason: the other loves what I love and is a silly and hot guy that matches my freak :3

To pass the time, they enjoy reading Maniac Mansion or watching the magazine's animated series. Tord sometimes puts on anime for them to watch, but he prefers to put on more family-friendly anime instead of... Hentai. Since Derick is not really a fan of that.

They also like to play video games, watch movies if not anime, watch YouTube, just cuddle or idk lol

I hope ur going to read all of this lol anyway. Thank you for your love, Anon! I really really appreciate it ^_^ if u have any other questions, feel free to send them! I will love to yap more :3

My pet teenie simulator part 8!

After writing an essay on why you DON'T need therapy, to your teenager, you were still mad at him, even though he had just accepted what you said, so he said to you, that a good way to get you to shut the fuck up and stop being a bitch, would be to give you affection, so he gave you affection, by the way he thought you would want him to - well, actually, just what you most like, which would then be awkward, as maybe you DON'T, want your hormone-pet to give your favorite method of affection or whatever.

(Just realized that the last one is literally me sometimes oops LOL). Anyways, I personally really like weird stuff, but like, only when it comes to platonic love, so yeah, he's the platonic equivalent of "all over me", and I didn't realize that this poll would have that 😐.

ANYWAYS, today I got ignored 👍(a crowd is cheering in my head for some reason - like, as a sarcastic thing or something),

But like, it's okay, because today I talked to my grandma and life was fun and stuff.

OH, and I should mention that I wrote about something, in an overly long reply HERE: https://www.tumblr.com/officeobject/769418105753567232/nobody-thought-of-closeted-trans-women-when-op?source=share ,

And I have a Christmas tree right HERE - also you can make my own, and like, just reblog this post and be like "comment on mine <3" or whatever and I WILL, though do keep in mind that you have whatever days exist until Christmas, left to send a message, which I will only see THEN, and you can't delete YOURS but I can possibly BLOCK you or DELETE yours or something (just saying this in case someone who ISN'T a poll person, sees this and wants to send something mean), and I THINK they have an app, and you can AT LEAST, choose a Christmas decoration, to set up on my tree, so like, you're welcome to say the most personal love-confessions ever - also do please tell me if I'm allowed to publicly react, or to react and NOT post it, OR to blur your nickname there even though everyone can visit and see it anyway, because I'd prefer it if you'd NOT leave it blank, but you CAN - you can also just MAKE-UP a name, just for that, which I will like MORE than just leaving it blank - and yes, my brain automatically goes to some kind of love-confession, whenever it thinks of the concept of me having fans - like, oof, but yeah, here's my tree - I OF COURSE chose the rainbow one (I am how I am), and also within seconds or minutes of MAKING my tree, someone - no name, had already put up a decoration, and like, I have no idea WHY/HOW, nor if the STAFF does it, and I hadn't even POSTED about it at that point - like, I had just signed in and stuff, so ... well ANYWAYS, HERE IT IS: https://decomytree.com/home?hashedId=02dOi09QjAoH .

I don't really know what to say.

Also, NO, you can't SEARCH for any trees, so unless there's some WELCOME message, then ...

[review-anon]

(A tentacle monster kidnaps Nikei and Shuichi) Kaede you can only save one of them. The other has to suffer a brutal non fatal punishment. Being forced to watch all episodes of Pupa 100 times on repeat while being spanked.

Shuichi. I choose Shuichi.

Tentacle Monster: Wow...you didn't even hesistate there Kaede.

Well Shuichi is a wonderful young man who has always been there with me through thick and thin and someone who I enjoy spending time with. He certainly doesn't deserve to be held captive by some hentai monster that Tsumugi most likely cooked up.

Tsumugi: Why am I still catching strays here? Also why do I still not have my sprite sheet?

Because you don't deserve one! Also its literally almost midnight for Review Anon and she doesn't want to do one so late.

Anyway....I so enjoy being with Shuichi and I don't want him held in some sucker's grip so can you let him go?

Considering I'm being held up in the air by tentacles that's...surprisingly sweet of you Kaede. Thank you.

Yeah I won't deny that is quite romantic...

Expect you know...the part where you willingly decided to throw me into the clutches of this beast Kaede! What the fuck?

Well Nikei...maybe it has something to do with the fact you kept asking me about my cup size? I know I'm not the most embowdied person in my class, Miu makes that very clear to me on numerous occasions. But I still don't like it when perverts like you keep pestering me about it.

Oh really? So what makes what Miu do okay and not me? Is it because you know Miu and you don't know me that well?

No its because with Miu, I have tried to get her to stop insulting me but it doesn't work so I've given up and learnt to roll with the punches. You on the other hand are doing it because you want better writing material! No wonder Masa is a better journalist then you in the universes she exists in!

Oh you did not mention that she-devil's name there! I am so gonna-

*Suddenly a tentacle wraps around Nikei's mouth to slience him*

Tentacle Monster: That's quite enough out of you Trenchcoat Boy. Anyway so the deal is made, Kaede you get your...platonic male friend back. While I'll take this horny reporter with me to give him his proper dues.

*Shuichi is lowered to the floor and the tentacles are released from him. He runs over and hugs Kaede*

Kaede thank you so much! I never felt so glad to touch solid ground!

No problem Shuichi...say do you want to watch a movie and cuddle together?

That would be wonderful...I do have one request though. Can you cuddle me with a blanket? Those tentacles were...slimy...

That is information I'm better off not knowing...but yes...we can do that.

*Kaede and Shuichi walk down the hallways holding hands how scandalious*

*MFFFGG* MMGGGGG* (I swear to Utsuro Akamatsu, that when I get free from this, you are gonna pay big time!)

Tentacle Monster: Annyywayy Trenchcoat Boy, I guess this a lesson why you need to be nicer to women, otherwise they won't abandon you like this.

(...Why does this keep happening to me? I know variants of me often get abused but what did I do to get everyone so mad at me?)

Tentacle Monster: Anyway since Review Anon will actually cook me alive if I kill you, time to watch Pupa while you get a good spanking~

(I really hope that isn't a horror series or else this is gonna suck.)

[jakowskis]

i was summoned! hope you enjoy these

(these are all rated gen or teen unless otherwise stated. most of these contain ships, but they all provide good insight into owen as a person)

I saw you mention sickfic in your tags - might I suggest Tea and Sympathy by osprey_archer? Unless that's the one you read. It's Owen/Ianto, and it's a bit weird and cracky, but Owen's cute and frumpy in it. The author marked the fic as t-rated, but Chapter 4 is mature, jsyk.

5 Kisses Owen Doesn’t Talk About by pocketmouse - Owen/Team... This fic's a really beautiful exploration of his relationships with everybody. The Suzie, Ianto, and Tosh sections are romantic - the Jack and Gwen ones are platonic (and fantastically sweet). The Jack one's a particular favorite of mine, because lord knows those two are never that sweet in canon. The fic's mostly t-rated, I'd say, though the Ianto section's a bit spicy.

Three Times Owen, Tosh, and Ianto Slept Together, and One Time They Were Caught At It by Sholio - despite the title, this one's pretty tame (when it says they get caught, it's them all cuddling - oop, spoilers). This is, in fact, one of the cutest fics I've had the pleasure of reading in the fandom. The whole final part of it is so precious it's not even funny, and it's one of my favorite scenes in any fic ever.

with a bit of a mind flip by ariya167 - a gen bodyswap fic! Owen and Gwen, this time. It's really IC, you can hear all the voices. It's got a cozy vibe to it to me, for some reason - I think because Owen in it reminds me a lot of his Big Finish self, like how he is in the Owen & Andy audios, and that Owen has a specific vibe to me. Anyway, I like it a lot.

There Is Nothing Here Worth Saving by heddychaa - a lot of people have tried their hand at fics about Owen's childhood and his mother. I haven't read too many of them, because I don't have the strength, but this is a good one. Mind the warnings the author included.

I'm a big Owen/Ianto shipper and I've read just about every fic in existence of those two, so I hope you don't mind, I have a few recs for them as well. None are overly shippy, they're just sort of explorations of Owen and Ianto as people and in relation to each other, with an emphasis on Owen.

For starters - Clinging To The Wreckage Until I Got The Message by paperclipbitch. I adore this fic, and I adore this author (who has much more fic on LJ; I highly recommend all of their work). It only really gets romantic at the end, too; it's mostly just Ianto taking care of a self-destructing Owen, and them learning to understand each other by the end.

Experiments In A Minor by paperclipbitch. Another really fantastic one - Owen being self destructive again. Very lightly O/I; mostly friendship. They provide drunken insight on how fucked up they both are. It's brilliant.

A Trip, a Punch, and Willing by ThisBeautifulDrowning - there's not an author's note on the ao3 posting, but I also found this fic on LJ and the author said the prompt was simply 'Owen + flirting'. This is a Owen/Ianto fic that kind of touches on Owen's compulsive need to flirt, and it's done really well. It's also sort of The Last Beacon written at least five years before TLB was even released - they end up in the countryside again and share a hotel room. There's also a pillow fight. It's fun. I love this one a lot. Also, the M rating is unnecessary imo - I'd say it's a T. Probably only marked as M 'cause of Owen's potty mouth. Okay, that's the last of my O/I recs, I swear.

But He'll Get Me by paperclipbitch - I did say they were my favorite author. This fic is tagged as Jack/Owen, but it's extremely light (like, one line at the end, and even then it doesn't have to be read as romantic honestly). It's an exploration of if Jack had actually retconned Owen after End of Days, and the two of them air out some things out. Really good stuff.

Teething Problems by paperclipbitch - last one, I swear. This one's gen, and was written between s1 and s2 when everyone thought Owen would take over as leader.

Ceaseless by pocketmouse is a great study of how Torchwood further fucked Owen up. This author's one of my favorite TW writers, they really Understood him.

JeSuisGourde writes a lot of Owen-focused one-shots and drabbles.

Sholio also writes a lot of hefty-sized team-focused fics, with an emphasis on Owen.

does anyone have any good owen fic recs i need to shake that man in my teeth

[leviathism]

hii I noticed you write for aro!mcs which is really nice!! would u be interested in writing a comfort fic (with any characters) for an aro!mc who becomes friends with a demon in their class, and they're very happy with their friendship until the demon confesses their crush on mc, and after mc turns them down gently, it's like their friendship never existed and mc is upset about it. I've found this to be a pretty common occurrence, esp as someone on the aro spectrum :( have a nice day!

gender neutral reader (reader is aro, but does experience strong platonic bonds, sorry apl aros)

Asmodeus is the one who finds out first. He can easily tell you’re upset and notices how your new demonic friend seems to run away from the sight of you.

He is also the one to most relate to you. Many people ask him out daily and assume he is obligated to give them a chance or hear them out even if he doesn’t know their name.

He comforts you in a way that would comfort him most. He tells you they probably weren’t a real friend anyways if they reacted that way to you rejecting them. You will always have him and his brothers as true friends.

When Mammon hears about it, he’s slightly angry. Because why is there a demon going around saying you embarrassed them in front of everyone heartlessly? He knows it can’t be true, but he can’t fight back properly without knowing exactly what happened.

He goes up to you, asking why this demon is talking shit about you and if you want him to deal with it or if you just want to deal with it on your own.

When he finds out the real reason, he’s slightly embarrassed. He thinks of how many times he’s asked you out because he didn’t understand your orientation at first. But, don’t worry, he gets it now.

Leviathan just tries to mainly distract you. He has no idea how to comfort you in this situation but tells you the demon overreacted anyways.

He suggests a movie. Mammon takes over from there. Family movie night is a go.

“It’s an action movie, action doesn’t have romance,” Mammon says confidently, sliding the movie disc in. Asmodeus seems unsure but cuddles up into your side regardless.

And then it happens. Romance. Mammon is dumbfounded, shocked, and fearful. Levi looks unimpressed.

“Straight people,” Asmo says weakly, slumped into your shoulder. He looks ill from the sight of a hetero romance on screen.

“I would rather die a thousand times then not experience love,” the man says, even after being slapped by the woman five times. You’re surprised how often that slides in movies.

There is a pause. And then suddenly Mammon and Levi scream and fumble for the remote, fighting each other to turn off the TV. “Turn it off, turn it off!” Levi shrieks before he’s shoved off the couch with a Mammon falling on top of him.

Beelzebub successfully turns off the TV, confused by all of his brothers’ reactions. Lucifer is angry. “What is going on?”

“Nothing!” Asmo chimes, playing innocent. “We just decided we didn’t like the movie anymore!”

While they can all be a bunch of helpless idiots, they do their best to keep you happy. And you’re happy with that. Who needs a friend who ignores you because you don’t want to date them?



if u meant head cannons i’m so sorry but it said fic and i got confused but i tried to add headcannony format vives to it but mc is aro so i did the main task :)

[absolutepokemontrash]

Date bled or demon bros react to mc likes to nap and cuddle throughout the day

I’ll do the brothers! :D

Lucifer

…MC get off of him. He’s in a meeting.

Aaaaaaaaand they’re napping. Wonderful.

At first, Lucifer is annoyed that he’s got another Belphie on his hands, especially during the time when Belphie’s locked in the attic. How dare MC remind him of the brother that he’s holding under house arrest >:c

But once the relationship grows, Lucifer submits to the snuggles. Luci quickly realizes that he’s very not used to cuddling.

As long as MC isn’t napping through their classes, they’re good. Nap whenever you want, MC, just make sure your homework is done.

MC should expect the cuddling to be one sided in public, but behind closed doors? Hoo boy, the man’s attached to MC like a koala to a tree.

MC may have also accidentally fixed his sleep schedule… it’s just… why does he feel sleepy when he sees them nap? *yawn*

He’s just going to rest his eyes for a second, the paperwork can wait.

Mammon

G-gah! Stupid human! What do they think they’re doin’ cuddling up to him like that!? They do know he’s a demon right?

For the first little while, Mammon tsuderes it up, but he gets so easily flustered whenever MC leans on him that it renders everything he says pretty much meaningless.

The first time MC ever fell asleep on him it was absolutely magical. He slowly patted their head and refused to move until the next day. Sure, his back hurt and he didn’t get any sleep, but MC was just so cute dammit!

Deeper into the relationship, Mammon is the happiest demon alive because he doesn’t need to ask for snuggles! He just plops himself down next to MC and his human just cuddles up next to him!

His absolute favourite thing is when MC falls asleep on his lap. They did it in public once and Mammon took this opportunity to flex. Yeah, he has a cute human that likes to cuddle him, do you?!

Mammon’s only wish is that MC would be more awake when he’s explaining his totally legit business ideas, they always seem to fall asleep once he gets goin’

Leviathan

SISJDJSJSJDJDJSJJAJAKALSKA- PHYSICAL CONTACT?!?!?! WITH HIM?! it’s more likely than you’d think.

First part of the relationship when Levi had just made a pact with MC, he was kind of confused. He had tried to murk this normie just a couple of days ago and now they’re cuddling up next to him? What’s that abou-

Levi.exe has stopped working.

Yeah, Levi blue screening happens a LOT. It takes literal months for MC and Levi to snuggle properly on a regular basis.

As totally Kawaii MC is when they nap on him, they just need to see how this fight scene is animated! MC! MC! Look! Homura and Mami are- WAKE UP AND LOOK AT THIS!

Cuddling in public causes Levi to die a flustered death. Fs in the chat everyone, had a good life, he did.

Though, it makes him feel so much more comfortable whenever MC just holds his hand out in public and doesn’t make a big deal about it. It makes him feel safe ^.^

Satan

At first, Satan was taking notes on how this human got so comfortable so quickly that they just started cuddling people and napping everywhere. Hm, humans appear to be quite adaptable… interesting.

They also seem to lack any sense of danger. Well, at least this one does.

Later down the line though, when MC first crawled into Satan’s lap to nap, it rivalled the first time a cat chose him. This was wild.

Snuggles… while reading stories… yes please…

Okay, that part sounded better than it ended up being. MC fell asleep while cuddling and ended up right on Satan’s arm, then in their sleep, MC basically locked Satan’s entire right side into a vice grip and couldn’t be pried off. Basically, Satan had to reread the same page of his book over and over and over again because he didn’t want to wake up MC.

Well, call it a learning experience, and Satan loves to learn, so next time, he was prepared for MC’s death cuddles.

Apparently he wasn’t prepared enough because the exact same thing happened again… multiple times more.

MC is literally a walking relaxant, Satan is significantly less filled with burning rage when they’re around. Notice I said less filled, he will still cut a bitch.

Asmodeus

Oh~ how bold! MC just plopped themselves down next to him and cuddled up close to him!

At first, Asmo was amused by all the cuddling MC was doing and made quite a few less than wholesome jokes about it. The Avatar of Lust has a dirty mind! Shocker!

But hark! (The herald angels siiiiing-) Asmo actually… likes platonic snuggles?!?! What is this sorcery?!

If MC and Asmo don’t enter a romantic relationship, my man still needs his cuddle quota met, ASAP.

If they do end up dating, hoo boy, MC and Asmo sure do a lot of snuggling, and “snuggling”.

But overall, Asmo loves being held and cuddled, and sleep is good for one’s skin!

Beelzebub

*sniffle* Beeeeeeeeeelllllllllpppppphhhhhiiiiiiiiieeeeeee-

Congratulations MC, they have made Beel more sad about his twin being gone just by existing :D

Once the custard incident happens and MC and Beel grow closer, oh man, oh man oh man, is he in desperate need of cuddles.

If MC ever falls asleep anywhere and needs to get from point A to point B, fret not, Beel is prepared. He will gently pick them up and they will awaken at point B. How nice!

Once Belphie gets his ass out of the attic, MC has competition.

Not really, Beel has enough love to go around. Both his sleepy beans can get carried around and cuddled with. Beel is big and strong for a reason.

Since MC has a vice grip while they cuddle, Beel kind of walks around with them clinging to his arm like a sloth to a tree. Belphie also picks up on this behaviour and starts doing it too.

Someone (*cough* Levi and Mammon *cough*) took a picture and posted it on Devilgram and now it’s kind of a meme template.

Belphegor

Gasp! Whomst- whomst is this human who comes before him and cuddles up close to him? This must be his soulmate! His other half! His destined partner!

…his destined partner was drooling all over his cardigan.

Ah well, two can play that game motherfucker. *SNORE*

Anyway, Belphie and MC? I would say power couple but in reality, the two just do a lot of snuggling and sleeping, it’s like they’re attached at the hip.

The two are always touching in some way, Belphie resting his head on MC’s shoulder, MC attaching themselves to Belphie’s torso like a koala, the two of them trading spit with each other… you get the idea.

It gets weird when the two start legitimately visiting each other in dreams, it gets so frequent it basically becomes a date night thing to just sleep and do weird shit in dreamland.

“Hey MC do you wanna hang out?” “Sorry, can’t, it’s date night. *SNORE*” “Yeah, shoo. *S N O R E*”

On their most recent date, MC and Belphie fought a dragon and then ate a giant cake.

[cheesus-doodles]

Inspired by the anon who got two dollars from santa, because the reader know the toman since their childhood( I think), who is the first to realize Santa is not real and the last person of the group to realize that when they were kids? Maybe you can do it in hc or something -Winky Wink

Also, I need to find the time to read time leaper fic

winky wink anon! been a hot minutes since i've seen you around ^^ take your time to read, it'll be there! if you meant childhood as like maybe 11-12 ish, then yes, reader does know them for a while now :) its after Christmas by now but whatever lmao - i've been working on all my long fics and rewrites so ask answers will be a bit slower, but i don't want to stop the brainrot train either

Masterlist

First to Last to Realize Santa isn't real

Yandere Platonic Toman

Mitsuya: Growing up dirt poor and having to be the one to take care of his little sisters, Mitsuya is the first of the Toman boys to realize that the Santa he heard his classmates talking so fervently about didn't exist for him. This doesn't mean that Mitsuya doesn't try his darn hardest to keep the dream real for his two little sisters, making sure that they always have presents awaiting them under the small tree on Christmas Day. Never did hate Christmas, but the festive season is definitely much better for him and his sisters with you around. Still doesn't believe in Santa, but you help to keep the illusion alive for his two sisters, and this boy definitely doesn't mind an extra cuddle while you wow the younger two with enchanting stories.

Kazutora: Due to his difficult childhood, Kazutora is also another of the Toman boys that found out very quickly that either Santa absolutely despised him, or that the fat jolly man didn't exist. Kazutora learnt the hard way that Christmas always represented a time of hatred and drunk, angry parents, and it was a period he learned to despise with every fibre of his being. He always make sure to hide away and fear the coming of that day, until you came along with your little handmade gifts and warm homecooked meals to gently lift the tears from his eyes and brighten up his day like Christmas lights. Started to secretly believe in Santa again because who else would deliver such an angel into his life?

Draken: He's a smart boy. Even if the girls and the manager of the brothel tried to keep the illusion going as long as possible for him, making sure that they went the whole mile to put out cookies and milk for Santa, and leave presents under a decked out Christmas tree, Draken probably figured it out quickly by himself through logic. Have most likely stayed up to catch his little family putting his presents under the tree and certify that his conclusion of Santa being fake was correct, but will continue to play along for at least a few more years seeing how hard they try. You know that he knows, but you still tell him about how Santa's elves made his presents anyway, and Draken is more than happy to play along.

Pah: Believed in Santa until Peh absentmindedly spoiled Christmas for him otherwise in the midst of beating an opposing gang member. Only two things that Pah was really crushed about finding out was that his wish for Santa to bring him a sweet new motorcycle every year was basically redundant, and all the wasted cookies and milk that he carefully cut from his own portion. Gave Peh a good kick in the side, but after a quick grumble, life basically just went on as normal. You do specially make his favourite type of cookies in different motorcycle shapes every Christmas for Pah, and label them as a present from Santa - Pah definitely makes sure to loudly thank Santa before sweeping you of your feet and giving you a few good tickles between his thanks.

Baji: This baby boy definitely believed wholeheartedly in Santa, a practice his mum helped to keep up in the hopes that Baji would at least try to be good for the year to be on the good list. With how sneaky and street-smart Baji is, its a wonder how long his mum managed to string him along, though the nice list didn't particularly help in encouraging this delinquent to clean up his act throughout the year, the effect limited to the period only around Christmas. Magic was accidentally spoiled by Kazutora - Baji was so heartbroken that he went straight to your house for a cuddle and a cry (which he denies and you keep secret anyway). You did tell Kazutora off on behalf of his mum - who at least had the decency to look sheepish. You still tell Baji that he had been a good boy and that Santa delivered his presents with a cheeky grin though.

Mikey: The ultimate Santa believer. 100% refuses to believe that Santa doesn't exist. Doesn't matter what anyone yells at him during a fight, Mikey always holds fast that somewhere, somehow, that fat man was bringing him presents, good presents mind you, if he didn't want broken bones. Never managed to stay up long enough to catch a glimpse of Santa though, no matter how hard Mikey tried, always managing to fall asleep even while standing up - a feast of taiyakis and milk always does the trick putting this baby boy straight to sleep. The other Toman founders had tried to take over keeping the dream alive for their beloved president after Shinchiro's passing, but honestly everyone heaved a sigh of relief when you stepped into the role without even breaking a sweat. Mikey looks forward more than ever to Christmas now when you weave him stories about how Santa had personally overseen the making of his present and delivered it in the dead of the night like a ninja, all the while Mikey munches away on one of your famed taiyakis.

[aroaceconfessions]

so, at 21, i’m finally allowing myself to accept that i’m aroace, i denied it for a long time out of 1) being scared of others viewing me as too ugly/stupid/unloveable to be with someone and 2) the fear of being alone for the rest of my life. i feel like my journey to realizing i’m aroace is both very similar yet very different from what much of the community experienced. growing up, i had crushes, i was curious about sex, i have a high libido at times (which can make me have sexual attraction, sort of?), and i’m not afraid of being sexual on my own. however, whenever someone had a crush on me, i felt deeply disgusted and uncomfortable and avoided them as much as possible. it got so bad that i’ve just always been perpetually afraid of nearly everyone in life was going to develop feelings for me, which made me feel so self-centered, but i’m just. not into that. i had a partner for 3+ years and the only reason we dated was because he was persistent (not in a creepy way), but i saw the cues that he liked me and tried to avoid him so hard til i was just like. well this is what i’m supposed to do. and he was my best friend the whole time but i didn’t want to do 99% of the things we did relationship-wise. for much of the relationship i would fantasize about being single, thinking it was bc i didn’t want to “miss out on being young,” and would have sex like it was a (nausea-inducing) chore. i didn’t know why i didn’t feel what i was supposed to feel and i just felt empty and sad all the time. we broke up bc i thought i was a lesbian (i still consider myself to be lesbian-aligned) but i’m slowly realizing that it’s just somewhat less uncomfortable w non-men, but those “erratic” periods of frustration w my lack of romantic/sexual attraction didn’t go away after we broke up. i’m trying so hard to embrace this part of myself but i feel like something is missing simply bc i thought i had those attractions my whole life til i found out that’s not what it actually feels like. i just want to have a person…like a best friend? who doesn’t want to have sex with me or be my romantic partner but just. does life with me. but i haven’t met anyone who truly gets me to that level that i’d want that with them. it’s frustrating because i love being alone and i love my friends so so much, i wanna be able to cuddle and be touchy with them w/out it being non-platonic. but i know either way, they’ll move on in life w a partner and get married and i’ll be left alone in a world that’s already terrifying to me. i have so much love and support for the aroace community but i hate this part of myself. i don’t want it gone anymore at least, i just want to stop hating it. anyway, i am so sorry this was so long, i’ve never even admitted this to myself over text. thank you for existing :)

Hey Bestie! I'm here to ask for some ✨Tendō✨ hc of how he would react if you go on vacation to for example the Netherlands or sum (I'm original ik)

That's all!

Love you (platonically) - Ghost 🕺

HQ Tendo Satori Reacting To You Taking A Trip

A/N: ofc you can have vacation headcanons of Tendō Satori! Thank you for requesting lol <3/p. Also i hope I did this right for ya and did your idea justice. Okay enjoy!

Category: Headcanon(s), Chaotic Fluff(?), Super Minor Angst, Some NSFW

Pairing: timeskip!boyfriend!Tendō Satori x gn!reader

Characters: Tendō Satori, Ushijima Wakatoshi

Content Warning: Completely unedited. This headcanons list contains NSFW segments. These segments include m-masturbation and mentions of nudes but these segments aren’t super graphic. This is word vomit/loose ideas! These are listed in the order I thought of them.

Word Count: just over 1k words

REQUESTS ARE OPEN

• Netherlands Trip

boyfriend!Tendō who will send you a list of the most interesting places to see or visit in the Netherlands just to make sure you’re never bored. He also scouts for himself.

boyfriend!Tendō who will try to teach you random Dutch words just so you can know them. If you already knew the word(s), he will find you so smart. But, if you don’t know it, you have a 50/50 shot of remembering the word.

boyfriend!Tendō who will make sure you know all about the Netherlands and how to exchange currency. He can’t have his love lost.

boyfriend!Tendō who will find out that the Netherlands has the tallest men in the world and immediately be jealous. Not that he’s insecure in his height (187 cm or about 6 foot 2) but he’s always been taller than most other people and can no longer brag about it.

• General Trip

boyfriend!Tendō who would be absolutely thrilled that you‘re taking time to yourself after all the times you’ve been stressed recently.

boyfriend!Tendō who would help you pack for your vacation; if not do your packing for you. Literally, you will never need to worry about having enough clothes or the right traveling items when you date him, he has you covered.

boyfriend!Tendō who would call you the second you land to see if you’re okay. He would also base his entire schedule around the ability to call you right before you go to bed at your time.

boyfriend!Tendō who would drop you off at the airport still begging you to take him with you. He’s really not a fan of being away from people, especially the light of his life.

boyfriend!Tendō who would call Ushijima after you leave to talk about how much he already misses you and how he’s thinking about buying a ticket to surprise you.

boyfriend!Tendō who would be the first person to volunteer to pick you up from airport when you get back. He’ll wait for you inside the airport with flowers and a box of chocolates he made.

boyfriend!Tendō who would know all the details of the trip before you go to make sure he won’t negatively intervene.

boyfriend!Tendō who would buy a ticket to surprise you half way through your trip. Either because he missed you or you missed him. Dont worry though, if you don’t want him there he is perfectly understanding and will stay at a different hotel.

boyfriend!Tendō who will secretly cry from missing you if your trip is super long. He would cease to exist before he tells someone his heart aches for you that much. Most people know he’s head over heals anyways.

boyfriend!Tendō who will ask for so many pictures that you end up taking at least one picture everywhere. It’s adorable to see his reaction, always telling you that you look nice.

boyfriend!Tendō who will send you nudes at important times just to tease you, even if he can’t see your face when you receive them. Important meeting and he has free time? Get ready.

boyfriend!Tendō who will send you videos of his jacking off, in full audio, just to tease you more. He’ll cut it off right before he cums every time because he likes to keep it private.

boyfriend!Tendō who will be practically inseparable from you from the second you get back. So, so, so many cuddles on the day you get home; and sleeping in with him is absolutely immaculate.

boyfriend!Tendō who will listen to every story you have from your trip like he’s absouletly never heard your voice before. He loves your voice and to hear you talk so deeply about a certain thing makes his heart swell.

boyfriend!Tendō who will take you back to the location of your favorite vacation for an anniversary trip. He’ll enjoy everything either way, doesn’t even matter if he doesn’t know how to do an activity there.

boyfriend!Tendō who will have a picture from the two of yours most recent trip as his home screen on his phone. Doesn’t matter if you hate the photo, he thinks you look absolutely adorable.

boyfriend!Tendō who will bring you a souvenir from every trip he takes and will buy you one from every trip you take together. If you bring him back one it’s now his favorite possession or he will steal the one you bought for you when he misses you.

boyfriend!Tendō who will pay for your plane tickets no matter where you’re going or if you’re with him. He will put in an effort to pay for your ticket like his life depends on it.

boyfriend!Tendō who will occasionally forget that time zones exist and FaceTime you at ungodly hours. If you pick up he won’t even notice but if you don’t he’ll mentally scold himself for forgetting. He’ll text you a little heart every time you don’t pick up.

boyfriend!Tendō who will make you playlists when he misses you and will make playlists about what he thinks the trip is like. Acts of services and random gift giving are definitely his love languages. (He likes quality time too so please love on this man.)

boyfriend!Tendō who suggests a trip to your home town every time you mention you want to go somewhere for a vacation. He just wants to see the place that made such a beautiful person.

boyfriend!Tendō who is always mildly disappointed when you get up early to leave for a trip because he knows he didn’t get to snuggle you awake and that he won’t feel your touch for a while. He’s a heavy sleeper so he hardly wakes up when you’re up early for a trip.

boyfriend!Tendō who will text you a picture of the flag to where you’re going on the day you leave. It’s mostly dumb but he’s excited for you and it means the world.

boyfriend!Tendō who will seek out and take you on the trip you’ve always wanted to go on, just so he can become fiance!Tendō. Probably the most perfect trip of your life.

A/N: uhmmmmmmmmmm Idk it just ate at my brain. I don’t personally like this too much but i hope you do! Also, happy New Year! I am getting to all requests I’m just busy rn. thank you for your patience <3 also u messed up my wrist so that’s fun :P

|| DREAM SMP HEADCANONS ||

✧─── ･ ｡ﾟ★: *.✦ .* :★. ───✧

hello! this is my first time doing headcanons, and i just want to clarify some things:

sadly, i won't be doing requests because i'm busy af with school and i dont want to dissapoint anyone, but you can drop some suggestions and i would think about it! it would be really nice :)

also i won't be writing romantic headcanons for minors or those who are uncomfortable with it, but i can do platonic headcanons for them! ^^

i won't be doing nsfw headcanons either, because i'm uncomfy with sexualizing real people and just writing nsfw in general :)

also, please tell me if someone is uncomfortable with fanfics and/or headcanons and i will erase that part as fast as possible, thanks for passing by! - batling

“As he read, I fell in love the way you fall asleep: slowly, and then all at once.” – John Green

┌────── ⋆⋅✦⋅⋆ ──────┐

SLEEPOVERS

---

GENDER NEUTRAL

└────── ⋆⋅✦⋅⋆ ──────┘

♥ Quackity

oh boy

i just have two words for this one: pure chaos

he will punch you with a pillow if you try to sleep

and you will be MAD at this

grabbing a pillow and hitting him RIGHT IN THE FACE with all your strenght

he'll probably fake cry about it, saying that you hurt him

after a while of pillow fighting, you guys got tired and plopped into the bed, snuggling into eachother and just enyoing the comfortable silence before drifting to sleep

♥ Wilbur

you two will probably blast hamilton and scream the lyrics till the neighbours wake up and you get angry knocks at your door

and you will laugh at that, lowering the speaker's volume and telling him to lower his voice aswell to avoid your neighbours calling the police

then you'll eat snacks and talk about anything that pops into your mind, laughing at the most silly jokes

he will sing sweet songs to you, making you fall asleep to his calming voice

summary: fluff

♥ Nihachu

you and her will bake pastries at a very late hour

she REALLY enjoys baking with you bc she thinks it's a great way to spend time with you

all this girl wants is to spend her time by your side, doing particularlly anything like streaming, baking, playing games and going outside for a walk and/or shopping

once you finished baking, she will kiss your cheek multiple times. that's her way to tell you that you did a great job :)

you'll spend the rest of the night cuddling, eating your pastries and watching some random movie, commenting about how bad it is and laughing

♥ Dream

bruh

this bitch will speedrun the sleepover

is it possible to speedrun a sleepover? maybe

you'll spend the rest of the night probably playing uncharted 3: drake's deception in his old ps3

after a while, you guys got bored from uncharted and went to his pc to play amnesia: the dark descent

there are 2 options:

you will be scared as fuck and will avoid looking at the screen when you think something bad will happen or when some body will come out from a drawer

or you will be totally chill with it, laughing hard when clay pisses his pants for real when he encounters the gatherer

you named the gatherer 'bob' :)

♥ George

he'll take you to the rooftop

and pushes you so you fall to your death

i mean

he gets blankets and pillows so you can stargaze together

he'll teach you the constelations while pointing them, excited about every single one of them

"look (y/n), that's the ursa major!"

he'll have hot chocolate prepared too, so you don't get cold while stargazing

you try your best to not fall asleep on the rooftop

but eventually fail

when he notices you're asleep, he stops talking about the constellations and carries you to your bedroom, giving you a goodnight kiss and leaving you in your bed so you can have a peaceful rest

♥ Sapnap

hey mamas

i don't know what sapnap will do in a sleepover so i will just improvise B)

you will watch anime together

not any kind of anime, like that romance-comedy bullcrap

no fuck that

you will watch the classy angsty anime like madoka magica

WATCH IT IF YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY

you will fucking cry because of literally anything that happens to the characters

"(y/n) why are you crying it's just a show"

'IT'S NOT ANY SHOW SAPNAP IT'S FUCKING MADOKA MAGICA OF COURSE I'M GOING TO CRY'

the last chapter made you fucking cry harder

AUTHOR HERE I WAS CRYING SO MUCH WHEN IT ENDED

yeah you will basically watch anime with him, cry about it and he will comfort you and bring you a glass of water so you don't have a terrible headache after it

I KNOW THIS HEADCANON SUCKED I'M SO SORRY

♥ Eret

KINGG <3

you two will plan a picnic in your yard

yes your yard

he'll bring a ton of snacks and you'll buy a few drinks

you two spend the rest of the picnic talking about your future and enjoying the snacks

then, he'll make you stand up and will teach you how to dance tango

and of course you will mess everything up

and you even stomped on his feet accidentally, making him wimper

but he brushed off the pain and laughed at your concerned face

after calming down his laughter, he gave you a passionate kiss and hugged you tightly

i love eret ok

♥ Karl Jacobs

this man.

this man is the definition of sweet

you'll spend the night cuddling and making cute pet names for eachother

he will definetely give you a great back massage if you're stressed

then he'll start writing love letters full of things he adore of you

and you'll do the same for him

after that, you will share your letters and just snuggle and smile at the sweet things you guys wrote for eachother

he will deffo shower you with kisses when he finishes reading your letter, telling you that you're the nicest person on earth

and that he loves you so so much

♥ Fundy

i'm a huge fundy simp ok

he will bring his piano to your house and you guys will compose a melody together

he will let you sit on his lap while you play the piano/keyboard with him

fundy will basically teach you how to play basic piano songs

you asked him if you guys could play megalovania together

he said no :(

but still you got to play nice songs together without messing up

and when you got the hang of it, he snuggled his face in your neck and kissed you there genly

and when you got tired, he started playing very calming songs and you fell asleep in his lap, snuggling into his chest

he gently carried to your room and will sleep beside you putting a fair distance so you can have a comfortable sleep!

♥ BadBoyHalo

bbh supremacy

he will get rat ready so you can snuggle with her too :)

you guys will mainly play with rat and talk about life in general

he will call you tons of cute pet names

after a while, he will take you to his kitchen and start making muffins together

he will guide you on how to bake 'em though

you guys had a great time making muffins and cuddling with him and rat :)

══════ ∘◦❀◦∘ ══════

✦ Ranboo

tall mf gives the best piggy back rides

when he gets to your house there is a 100% chance he will bump his head on the door frame

and there is a 100% chance you will make fun of him because of that

"(y/n) please stop laughing my head hurts :("

you'll give him some ice to put on his head while you two play minecraft on your ps4

you will bring snacks too and ask him if his head is better

"yeah, thank you (n/n)"

he will pull you in a hug so you can be comfy together while you play good ol' minecraft

because ranboo surely doesn't play anything besides fucking minecraft

stfu that video of him playing spooky's jump scare mansion doesn't exist

✦ Tubbo

SWEET BE BOYY <3

he will gift you a bee plushie

expect a lot of (FRIENDLY) hugs from him

like fundy, you guys will play piano together

you guys are most likely to prank call some random numbers AND your friends

and you accidentally called some random pizza place

"hello! this is (p/p), may i take your order?"

you were nervous and didn't know what to say

UNTIL YOU CAME UP WITH A GREAT IDEA

"hello? are you there?"

'hi yes, i would like to order 7 extra large pepperoni pizzas to (tommy's adress).'

"oh- okay! uhm- they will arrive in a few hours. are you okay with that?"

'yes ma'am, thank you.'

when you ended the call, you couldn't help but burst out laughing, knowing that tommy will be so mad at you guys-

✦ Tommy

like quackity, PURE. CHAOS.

you guys will obviously stream your sleepover

doing a q&a stream :)

tubbo and wilbur will probably crash your stream and start spamming things like 'MEETUP??' and 'DIDN'T GET AN INVITE'

you guys laughed and added them to the call

"WHY THE FUCK DIDN'T YOU GUYS INVITE ME?" wilbur shouted

'i'm sorry willlll'

you kept playing minecraft with wilbur, tubbo and quackity too since he crashed your stream like an hour later

after the stream, you got up and plopped on the mattress that was on the floor

"tired?"

'yeah'

"okay, good night big (initial)"

✦ Philza

POG

YEAHHH SLEEPOVER WITH THE MINECRAFT GOD

AND KRISTIN'S THERE TOO :)))

and oh god you ADORE kristin

i'm pretty sure she's a total sweetheart

it would be like having a sleepover with your parents

only that it's less boring

you guys will watch a movie together, you will be in one side of the couch eating snacks while phil and kristin are in the other cuddling

you'll eventually bug them about it

after the movie, you fell asleep early and philza noticed, talking to kristin about it too

and wrapped a blanket around you so that you get a good rest :)

✦ Technoblade

mr. blood god teaches you the arts of the CRAFT.

yeah i mean it's techno what else does he play besides minecraft

he will play bedwars w/ u, teaching you how to pvp

"bro you kinda suck tbh"

'stfu techno'

he will comment about how bad you are, but tries to help you get better anyways

and when you do a very poggers gamer move, he praises you

and when he praises you you're all :)))

after awhile, he gets tired from watching you play minecraft and suggest watching anime

fucking weeb

other thing you guys do together in a sleepover is playing and commenting about pokemon

i was joking please don't leave i respect your tastes

✦ Jschlatt

ooooh boy

get ready for a session of wii training

that's all you guys will do

play wii sports and some other shit like wii music

he will laugh his ass of if you fall while playing wii fit

but he will eventually help you bc outside his funny and shouty persona, he's a really chill guy and a really nice person!

seriously like have you ever seen a theweeklyslap video?

well expect hearing amazing pep talks from him

bc this man is a legend and knows his way to words and is very good at comforting people :)

sometimes you'll rant to him about anything that's happening in your life, and he will listen to you and give you really helpful advice

and you appreciate him so much for that

✧─── ･ ｡ﾟ★: *.✦ .* :★. ───✧

[inevitably-johnlocked]

hi!! do you have any good insecure/low self esteem Sherlock fics? thank you!

Hi Nonny!

AHHHH I’ve too many to count; I did a list back in 2019 that combined the both of them, but I get asked so often for one or the other that I think it’s time to make separate lists, and to do that requires me to re-tag a tonne of fics, so for now, I will give you all the ones I have tagged; I apologize if I’ve missed any, but I’m going through them slowly <3 Enjoy!!

He was missing a vital piece of data, he was sure. John had been looking at him oddly ever since they left Buckingham Palace, and the ensuing incident with Irene Adler had only exacerbated his erratic behaviour. What was it? Why would he care that Sherlock was a virgin? There was nothing reminiscent of mockery or pity in his gaze. And then it hit him. John Watson was aroused.

He’s almost accepted that he will never see London (John) again—almost. But then there are nights like tonight, where he is weak, and all he can think of is the warmth of the flat they once shared, the crackle of the fire in the hearth, the teasing smile playing at the corner of John’s lips, the boxes of half-eaten Chinese takeaway balanced precariously in their laps.

He reels back a little, jaw twitching and eyes filling. “I love you,” he repeats, a little softer, a little more gentle, as earnest as he possibly can. Because they’ve been teetering on the brink of this thing for years, and it had become painfully obvious over the last few months that they were at a tipping point. This had to happen. Now it has. Now they can see where they end up. The tears in John’s eyes spill over, and he wipes at them angrily. “Do you even know what that means?”

That was just a figment of John’s frantic coma dream. And Eurus is not actually Sherlock’s sister. That’s just something random she said to John before shooting him. Sherlock and John were never actually estranged. That was just their act to cover up what really happened to Mary – or Rosamund Moran, as her real name has turned out to be. Sherlock does have a secret sibling, though, and his name is Sherrinford. After finally eliminating Moran – though in a rather dramatically different way than they had envisioned – and exposing the truth about Eurus, John encourages Sherlock to delve into his past and to find out whether the reasons to keep Sherrinford away from Sherlock were the right ones, and to discover what really happened in 1981. Along the way, Sherlock and John gradually, finally, stop keeping each other at a distance, and eventually become a proper family of their own.

PLATONIC HEADCANINS !! PLATONIC HEADCANONS !! HOW ABOUT- a doting touchy-feely PLATONC reader with the allies?? Friendship headcanons :3 (do Axis if u can but PLEASE don't do that if you are tired or busy PLEASE don't ♡♡:))

America

I feel Alfred is also a bit of a touchy-feely kind of friend too

Especially with best friends and whatnot

Is either always at your house or telling you to come to his

He just wants to watch movies or play video games with you

Heck he just wants to exist in the same room with his bestie

Will Alfred wake you up at 3am to do something with him?

Yes

Y’all will either be doing mundane things like going on a store run or literally committing a crime

There is N O in between

Since the both of you are both touchy-feely and likely clinging to each other you bet you’ve gotten the same question 1000x

“Are you two dating?”

You both either go for the ewww hell no or a straight faced but sarcastic yes we totally are

But it’s 50/50 if you both actually go for the same response

It’s a game at this point to see if you guys can read each other’s minds

You guys usually make an awkward situation for the person that asked because one will say yes and the other says eww and neither of you will back down and explain that you guys are just sarcastic and teasing jerks lmao

England

Arthur isn’t the most touchy person so having a friend that is can be tough sometimes

He does appreciate the hugs and physical comfort/support but he just gets kinda awkward

Well at first anyways

When you are certified besties he’s used to it and one can often find him gravitating towards you to just be close

Will never admit he likes it though sorry he’s a hard head

No one dares ask either of y’all that dreaded question though because they don’t want to deal with his sarcasm and the lecture that’s sure to follow

Arthur is a chill bestie though

Often invites you over to just be together

He doesn’t care if it’s just to talk, do something, or simply enjoy the presence of someone else

Help him cook maybe?

Even if you suck at cooking he enjoys attempting to cook with someone else

And that also means having fun in the kitchen and being complete dorks the whole time

And also having to order food or eat a sandwich because unless you can cook it’s going to be inedible

Will make you watch and read Sherlock, even if he has to be there or read it to you it’s happening

France

Francis is very touchy as a friend unless he knows someone dislikes it

So having a bestie that is like him is perfect

People probably think y’all are glued together at this point

No one would ever think y’all are dating either because Francis acts completely different with his bestie than a love interest

He’s kind of a mean ass ngl

He likes to jokingly bicker and fight with you

And definitely likes to cling and be dramatic with you to the point it’s annoying to others

Francis drags you with him everywhere

His house, the gym, the store, England’s house, etc

He cant just go alone anymore it would feel wrong like he’s forgetting something

If you’re bad at dressing or have no style he’s got your back

Literally shops for you but also constantly says things like you’ll never look as good as him

You are also one fo the few that will ever see Francis get serious or down in the dumps

It’s just something he doesn’t wear on his sleeve and reserves for those closest to him

Canada

Matthew is not used to having people cling to him

He’s not really used to having people notice him so having a someone that’s his bestie, that notices him the most, and always clings and talks to him is a strange and wild concept

Doesn’t mind the touchiness and honestly rather prefers it

He’s kinda touch starved :/

Matthew is likely always at your house with Kumajirou

Movie marathon and cuddles yo

Also as his closest friend you come to see his ‘secret’ side of being sarcastic and a complete savage

This boy does not hold back with you either

Maybe at first he did but when he realized y’all are in this friend stuff for life he won’t censor or sugar coat things if it’s not necessary

Makes you play and watch hockey with him

Will teach you everything if you know nothing

Matthew is the type of friend to invite you to his families holidays/vacations and come to yours

He knows and is cool with basically all of your family

I mean who could hate or dislike this polite boy?

Russia

Ivan is not used to friendship either as people usually tremble in fear before him

so having a friend that is touchy on top of having a close friend can be a bit much at times

But he’s happy!

He loves the hugs! Loves the contact! Loves having a friend!

Loves cuddles most of all he won’t lie, Ivan loves the feeling of comfort and support when you cuddle him

People do often assume you two are dating because most people assume someone would only put up with him if they were in love with him

Neither of you mind the rumors since y’all know the truth

Ivan is the sweetest friend

He shows up unannounced with food or groceries all the time

Always helping you out without being asked

Like oh your washing machine broke I fixed it/bought you a new one already or oh you suck at this let me explain it and teach it to you

Does this completely unprompted

He’s always over at yours or always inviting you over to his

Wants to do classic friend things?

Like things he sees in movies and shows that friends do a lot or things he’s overheard from others

Late night store runs, hanging out at parks, showing up unannounced to crash at your place, those kind of things

You’re the only person he confides in, you know all his secrets, his sadness, everything

Honestly, Ivan is the person who needs a touchy-feely friend the most out of everyone

China

Yao is happy about having a touchy friend but will always play like he hates it

Not in like a tsundere “I totally d-don’t need friends baka” kind of way but a really dramatic “omg I can’t believe you’re so obsessed with me haha loser” kind of way

He’s only joking of course and apologizes if you get hurt by his teasing or he crosses a line

Only a brave few would try and ask if y’all are more than friends

They have to listen to a lecture with an angry Yao explaining that people can be close and not want to date and how immature and inappropriate they’re being

Totally the type of friend that mothers you

Constantly says you look skinnier than last time and forces you to eat because he’s worried for you

Will not sugar coat anything for you

If you ask for his advice then I’m sorry but you’re gonna get it even if it makes you cry or get mad

Yao wants you over at his constantly

He’s lonely man ㅠㅠ

And he doesn’t want to leave the comfort of his house

Expect a lot of his gifts for your birthday/holiday to be cute plushies he found

Germany

Ludwig act differently depending on when y’all become besties

Like before Italy, he’s nervous, confused, and slightly annoyed by all the touching and notion of being besties

If it’s after Italy he’s used to all the touchiness and has figured out how to show his friendship to you in other ways

Like making you things! Or simply inviting you to hang out!

Ludwigs is always gonna be a bit awkward though

Always shy about hanging out and inviting you over

Many people assume you two to be dating because of his awkwardness but he is the first to start defending your friendship and it’s pure nature

He develops a sixth sense and now answers people’s questions about the two of you without even looking at them

He can just feel the nasty vibes

Asks you to do mundane things with him

Like shopping or even chores

Asks you to come bake with him a lot

It was embarrassing at first since not many people know his love of making sweets but he’s over that now

I know I say this a lot, but please work out with him _(:3 」∠)_

My guy just wants a work out buddy, a spotter, a n y t h i n g just please pick up the smallest dumbbell and pretend you want to work out

If you ask for advice expect him to be straight to the point about it but comfort you afterwards

Italy

Feliciano is a god tier bestie if your touchy-feely

Doesn’t matter if that touchy-feely emotionally and/or physically he’s down for both

Like please hold his hand, hug him, give him head pats, cheek kisses or any form affection really

No one even thinks anything of it, it’s just Feliciano being himself

If anyone did ask if you were dating he might get self-conscious of his actions, he doesn’t want you to feel uncomfortable or like he was trying to be something more with you

He’s easy to calm down though

Feliciano invites you out all the time

Restaurants, wine tastings, farmers markets, gondola rides, just about anything he can think of that he thinks you would like to do

Always at your house

He eats all of your food too, but he makes you some in return so it’s okay

Gives really good advice

Like for his bestie he’ll get super serious and thoughtful about your issues, even spending days thinking of solutions

Tries not to sugar coat things for you but ends up doing just that

He doesn’t want to make his friend cry or even more anxious

Will comfort you though if you are upset about anything he’s said and apologizes profusely for it too

Japan

Kiku is overall one of the ones who needs a touchy bestie but is the most challenging with receiving or giving the touchiness back

He’s a man who enjoys personal space and alone time, so he’s honestly surprised anyone considers him a true best friend

He knows he can get a bit feisty and shut himself away when he gets uncomfortable and that makes it hard to truly befriend him

But he’s really happy you stick around and deal with his awkwardness and rejection of your affection

Tries his hardest to at least accept your friendly affection

No one would dare ask if you two are flirting or together because my god it’s taking so much of his effort to just sit less than 2 feet away from you at the start so they don’t want to ruin his progress by making it awkward

Kiku definitely asks for your opinion on anime and manga

Gets into heated debates with you over certain ones

Is shy but asks you to come over a lot

Likes to have tea and snacks with you while you guys talk

Y’all can talk for literally a whole day

You sleepover a lot, he insists and even got you your own futon with a cool custom cover

Gifts you a kotatsu at some point because he loves them and he thinks you should enjoy them all the time too

When he gets over a lot of shyness he loves when you do simple forms of affection with him

Like ruffling his hair or holding onto his arm or even just leaning against him

He enjoys those the most since they aren’t too physical and mentally taxing on him and it still let you physically express your friendship with him like you love to do

If you ask for advice either get prepared for a harsh wake up call or a stumbling mess of words

It’s 50/50 if Kiku gives you the stone cold truth or tries to spare your feelings

As your friend he thinks you deserve the truth but he doesn’t want his harsh advice to ruin your mood or make you hate him

Take My Hand |Loki x (Asgardian) Reader x Bucky Barnes

Quick and easy because as much as I would love to make a whole series, I don't have the capability to do so regularly and not disappoint.

With that being said this might just be left open as a single shot so I don't have to pick lol.

Word count: 5097

A/N: Have I mentioned I love drama?

-  because I love drama. 

Loki is a serious drift between romantic and platonic, and I just... I just love it, because you're like, hmmm. 

Is there something there?

Am I overthinking it?

Who do I pick?

Long-term friendship W/ Loki

Reader is Asgardian (as mentioned)

Bucky is in a half and half state. He’s somewhat good, but dealing with his stuff.

A lot more Loki W/reader. 

 Take My hand

She was a perfect woman, and he wholeheartedly believed it. 

In his eyes she was the embodiment of everything he could ever ask for, but, even then, that didn't mean he couldn't be a stupid man.

‘It’s really for the best,’ He told himself, all in order to convince himself that what he was about to do was for the best. 

‘ - Because right now...it’s not the best time for any of this,’ He thought to himself, biting his lower lip as he felt her reaching for him for warmth.

‘-It’d been in the heat of the moment,’ He inwardly spoke, wanting to take away any special meaning that the moment could hold.

‘yeah,’ he went on, wishing he could go back in time before they let themselves get carried away.

‘It’s just that...’ he went on, in a desperate attempt to convince himself that it was just like with any other time, and any other woman.

Though, in truth, as much as he tried to fight it, it was anything but insignificant. Far, deep within his being he did not want to forget the lovely moment now that it had occurred.

It was then that (f/n) pressed her cheek to his chest, her ear landing just a few inches off from his heart.

Her arm was then draped over his stomach, allowing her hand to land at his side, the woman seeming fully contempt with life as they cuddled.

‘It didn’t mean anything,’ He added with a long exhale, trying to convince himself as much as he could, hoping that if he repeated it enough, it would somehow become easier.

‘(f/n),’ He started, ‘Is this how you are with everyone else?’ He then wondered, asking himself if the cuddly nature was meant just for him, or for just anyone that lay next to her.

 ‘(f/n),’ He then added, his heart weighing down, ‘If I tell you a lie....would you just believe it? Will you just believe it...not having expected anything else from me but a single moment?’ He added, the same muscle tightening as the woman seemed to be at compete ease. 

The sentiment was infectious and as he felt her melt, it was hard for him not to do the same. Even if his mind was far too plagued by a tornado of torment, his body got the message.

Naturally, the tension in his body melted, and it only made things more difficult, because it just meant that his heart was responding to her embrace, knowing that this time, it was different.

‘I know I’ve got a nasty reputation right now,’ He started, ‘ but it’s because, really, I don’t care about seeing them the day after.’ He silently admitted to the (h/c) haired woman.

He’d somewhat gone back to his old ways, though, not quite entirely because it was hard to fall back into being the same charmer he used to be when he’d gone through such a long-termed torment.

 But, at the very least, he was graced with good looks, and it did plenty for him when he lacked the proper social skills to woo a woman.

He’d shamelessly had little hook ups here and there, and that was just what they were, and nothing more.

‘They know what to expect, and for me,  it’s a routine.’ he thought idly, finding the arrangements he had  better than spending the time alone in silence with his own thoughts.

‘I care about you a lot.’ He thought with certainty, pointing out what separated her form everyone else. ‘I think...that maybe... I might have actually fallen in love,’ He then corrected himself, finally admitting it. 

‘If I think about you so much,’ He started, knowing it wasn’t right how frequently she came to mind, well aware that what he felt wasn’t something that he could feel for just anyone.

‘if you’re the first thing that comes to mind when I think about the good things in life...’ he then trailed off, filling it the rest with a silence that reached his mind.

‘ (F/n), I choose you.’ He declared. “ I’d always choose you,’ He thought with determination. ‘I just hope you know...that right now, (f/n), I’m choosing you. 

Above me. 

Above everyone else. 

I’m choosing what’s best for you, and not what I want instead,’ he thought with lament.

‘ Right now, I’m no where near where I want to be.’ He went on with the same sorrow. 

‘ There’s a reason I never stay overnight. 

There’s a reason I don’t get too close to any one else...because it’s better for people to think I’m some asshole than some crazy psychopath.’ He told himself, not wanting to share his misery with the lovely woman.

‘You deserve more,’ He thought with certainty. ‘You’re meant for better things,’ He told himself, never forgetting her origin, knowing that she’d always be much more than he deserved.

She was a literal goddess, and he was just some broken down old fool.

“(f/n),” He started before closing his eyes while he let a deep breath leave his nostrils,

“(F/n),” He then said again, letting his mouth do the work, disconnecting himself from it all to make it more believable, because if she saw the misery that threatened to overtake him, she’d have doubt.

She stared at him with widened (e/c) colored eyes, the happy glow to them fading as he continued to speak, giving her an excuse to why he couldn’t stay, and much more, why he wasn’t one meant to settle down.

"- You understand....right?" He questioned her, and throughout his speech, it took all the power he could muster to not look back at her heartbroken expression, even though  it felt like his duty to ease it.

‘When you’re upset, I feel like I have to put you at ease,’ He thought with tenderness, knowing the pain was there, and that it existed on her beautiful face.

  He knew he'd caused it and instead, chose to cower, biting his tongue as he heard her take in a long, strong breath through her nostrils.

She’d long let go of him, and had chosen to distance herself the more he spoke,

"Of course," She responded, the hand that clutched the covers shaking before she released the fierce grip, finally collecting herself enough to hold back her melancholy.

She believed his deception because until then, she hadn't had a reason to distrust him.

Until then, he’d always been honest with her.

"I understand." She said with a soft, blue breath, her (e/c) colored eyes watching him as he slid from beneath the covers, soon throwing on his clothes in a way that was far too collected for a man that had regrets.

There was no stumble, nor fumble and she looked on with melting shoulders.

Quietly, (f/n) handed him his shirt, offering him a soft, yet broken smile, thinking she had mastered the false expression, though, failing the final test.

"You ok?" He asked her, his voice coming out soft and kind, because he never meant to hurt her.

'No...' She inwardly wept.

"Yeah...I get it," She said instead, her eyes fluttering close as he neared her,  laying a soft kiss on her hairline.

"- I'm heading out now," he informed her, his right hand gently patting down (h/c) colored hair, the affectionate act causing her to shrink as she nodded in acceptance.

'Please...don't,' she silently begged.

 'Not yet. If you're going to go anyways, just stay a little longer,' she added as she watched him go, wondering if she’d been the only one to hold back on calling him, or if he was used to being pleaded.

It didn’t take long for her to finally let loose of the harsh grip she had on herself, choking out soft sob after he left, properly reacting to his rejection once he was out of sight, and problobly off to his same routine. 

And that was the part that hurt most, that in the end, she was just like all of the others.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

“Please...” (f/n) breathed, her voice down and tired as she tried to keep the conversation with the man civil.

But, it was fruitless, because as much as she wanted to avoid the conversation, he was detrained to dig deep, going as far as to follow her through the entirety of the empty facility. He  remained hot on her trail with quick, long strides that only ceased when she decided to finally stop and turn towards him with the same defeated gaze she’d wear whenever she was shamed and beaten.

“You are a god!” Loki barked back at her, his emerald eyes shadowed over and dimmed as he roared out the words. 

He spat them at the woman to remind her what was her true title, because he detested how fiercely she tried to play home with a realm that she didn’t belong to.

“You shouldn't be played a fool by an insignificant, Midgardian, lowlife,-”  

“- Loki please,” She cut him off with a weak voice, desperately trying to both calm and silence him.

'Not now,' She secretly pleaded, not wanting to hear the harsh speak, especially with the news she’d just received.

She hardly found the strength to plead with him, and at that very moment, she was certain that it was the last bit of resistance she had left, the hollow feeling that she'd been consumed by only weakening her furthermore as the days progressed. 

Left as nothing more than a walking husk, she cowered, and it was something he could see.

 Her attempt was futile as well as her will to reason, and it only seemed to fuel his means to speak in such a heated tone, because the (f/n) he knew wasn’t so frail. 

 “You still defend him?!” He questioned her in complete astonishment, the tone borderline mocking.

In response she said nothing, and the woman only stared at her feet in disgrace, swallowing down a small wad of spit that would be her defense.

She couldn't find anything to say, or justify herself, and her silence was her only answer at the moment, the only one she could provide. 

 Because what was she to say? 

Yes, she was a fool.

Yes, she simply strung along.

 Yes to all the accusations, however, "Please…" she said softly, slowly lifting her gaze to meet his, finally finding it in herself to look directly at him.

 She couldn't bear to listen to more, because despite everything that happened, it hurt her to hear the demi-god speak of Bucky in such a way that demoted him into nothing but worthless rubble.

 No matter what had happened between them, nor how much bitterness was left in between to savor, she still loved him too much to sit through any ill talk of him. Aside from that, the way Loki threw her own foolishness In her face burned, scathing the warrior that lay dormant.

“No pleading me woman!  I have sat back and watched you gravel and lower your status to an expendable waste of time and space here on Midgard!” He said loudly.

Her self-esteem was already at an all-time low, and his words only stung more, causing her to visibly shrink, her shoulders sinking as she accepted his venom.

All sympathy was left aside as his rant ran, and she wasn't surprised because she knew how heated and stubborn he could be, and by then she was well aware that she might as well speak her feeble plea to a brick wall.

'I know,' She quietly mused.

 He watched her take in the insults with the same grimace and the sight didn’t soften his harsh glare in the least bit, nor deter his speech, and it was then that he made his final decision, 

“I am not pleading you, nor am I requesting this,” he stated lowly, and  the way he looked at her almost frightened her because she knew he had something severe to come. 

Bracing herself, she looked up at him, (e/c) colored eyes wide and teary, waiting for what was to come.

 “I demand you return to Asgard with me today.” he finished, each word spat out firmly. 

His chin was held high as his eyes dared her to defy him, and at that, her heart came to a sudden stop.

“Today?!” she breathed, “ Loki- No, No, No, I can't simply leave like that.” She said frantically, nearly on the verge of tears, the panic she felt rising, momentarily shielding her from feeling the full strength of her sorrow. 

“You can't?”  He said, raising a brow,“…or you won't?” he asked her, silence ensuing after his low murmur.

"What stops you?" He questioned her, wanting to hear her say it, itching for her to face the reality of her decisions.

She tried her best to put on a brave front, but failed miserably and soon enough, tears began to fall down her face. Quickly, she hung her head to hide her worthless state, however, hiding her tears did nothing to stifle her sniffles, letting him know she was breaking down. 

“ Loki..." She breathed.

‘I can’t go now,’ She thought to herself with weakness.

"- I'm pregnant…” she sniffed, her voice as soft as silk, completely delicate and woven with the finest fibers of desolation and helplessness. Through her (h/c) colored bangs, her ( e/c) eyes Scanned his face, only to find It unmoved, the expression giving her unease. 

“And your point is?” He said with a low growl, annoyed. 

The news didn't faze him, nor did it lessen his piercing glare, and it unnerved her, “Did you not hear me?” She questioned him, struck by disbelief. 

  Didn't he just hear her? 

Did he even understand what the implications of her being in such a state meant?

She couldn't just leave, it wasn't right to do so.

“I heard you,” he said placing both hands behind his back, breathing in a soft, mellow sigh that loosened his tense body, “In Fact,” he began,  “I knew before you mentioned it to me.” He said coolly. 

"Y-you knew," she said shocked, though not entirely convinced, "That's impossible..." she murmured with uncertainty written all over her person. 

she stared straight at him for a form of proof that indicated he could be lying, but she got nothing in return, only the same arrogant look he'd mastered. 

“-Three weeks." He said simply, " You are three weeks pregnant,” he said before giving her a satisfied look that was in response to her expression of shock.

"Don't be so surprised,  the question on your face is insulting.” He huffed, “ Need I remind you, that to fool a trickster is of unlikeliness my dear? " he said smugly. 

"Then if you knew, then why give me such an ultimatum!" She furiously bellowed.

Why put her through the pain? 

Why tear her child from a father? 

Why try and force her into leaving?

The questions burdened her as she faced him, but the growing fury she felt forced her to retain them, not knowing where to start. 

He huffed out a dry chuckle before closing the space in between them, slowly stepping closer.

 "As I said before. I am not asking you to come with me, I am telling you, and trust me when I say you will comply," he asserted.

By then his taller figure loomed over hers, making her feel even smaller than before, the sudden burst of passion she had dying out as he towered over her.

"Are you really going to force me? " She murmured dejectedly, knowing that any hope of defying him wouldn't happen if he was fully intent.  

" Only if I must, " He said calmly, seemingly cooled down.. 

She became crestfallen, the woman withdrawn and small by then, “Please don't make me...” she sniffed, looking up at him with hurt (e/c) colored eyes.

 "Think about this, the child will be born on a bed of silk and surrounded by the finest. In Asgard, they will have a lasting life, one of prosperity, of higher thinking and understanding. 

They won't be held back by petty wars and battles, the very ones you attempt to stop. 

What more could one want for their own?" He reasoned with an almost too kind smile, lulling her onto his side, hoping to easily strum her along. 

He then opened his mouth to speak again before she could deny him, using his silver tongue,

“Do you truly believe a child here would not suffer ?" He questioned her. 

" You, more than anyone know how much corruption and danger there is here, especially for a person such as yourself….one who has so many foes." He reminded her.

 " - With that said, would you would allow your child to live here, risking thier life? ” he asked her.

She was wedged between a spear and the wall, because as he stated out the facts, she was well aware of how much more favorable the other realm was, however, there existed a factor that bound her to the place she now called home, 

"My child needs a father. " She said softly, so much so he couldn't have heard her at any farther distance. 

Instantly, the emerald-eyed man turned from her, making an attempt to not capture her heartbroken gaze, and  yet again silence filled the room, the space disrupted by the long, hiss he let escape.

" Oh," he breathed, " And here they have one, yes? " He dared to ask.

The question nearly killed her, because the dagger that had already been wedged in her heart was moving, digging deeper, and rotating in a way it ensured there wouldn't be any healing.

‘ he wouldn't... I know he wouldn't reject a child of his own flesh and blood.’ she thought with a glimmer of hope, trusting the man she'd given herself to.

His heart was good, and she was convinced of it.

She desperately wanted to believe it, however, Loki was a man that knew how to crush one's dreams, the soft-tongued man always aware of what words to use, because he’d mastered the art of manipulation.

" - The man who rejected you, who used you, who humiliated you in the vilest way he could… He is worthy of being a father? " he questioned her, finding a weak point.

'He doesn't want to be with me,' She then thought to herself. ' he doesn't want that life....so of course, why would he be willing to stop? 

For me...For a child that comes from me...

One he never planned...

Why should I force him...right?’

“ Do you believe that if he cared for you, he would toss you away so easily, without even a glance at your way. 

- Watching you suffer, seeing you slowly crumble… and do nothing?

I could never sit by and watch you suffer.” He then told her. 

“How is it that he can?” He then asked her, watching her swallow hard.

“ Much more , Do you truly believe a man such as himself would be safe around a child? Again I ask -

Would you put your own child at risk? “

Her eyes went wide and she sucked in a strangled breath, taking in the words with a fastly thudding heart, 

“You’re wrong !” she said stubbornly, “He wouldn't harm his own child, to any child. To any one!” she rambled. “He wouldn't ! he isn't like that, not anymore Loki!” She said with panic.

'No...you can play with every insecurity I have,' She silently spoke, ' but that is not one,' she thought with confidence.

 “ of course HE isn't, but what about the Winter soldier? what about the ruthless assassin that lies dormant?

What of that feral beast he becomes ?

Is he not unstable still?”

She shook her head with a certain look to her eyes, pride swelling through at the gaze, “ You can't play on a fear I long let go of. I know he is strong enough. 

He is different." she said with borderline arrogance. 

He then sighed, the breath sounding exasperated.  

"Return to Asgard. whatever fool that crosses your path could take the role." He finished, beginning to walk away, not willing to negotiate any longer, growing weary of the conversation.

 "If a father is what you need then find a suitable one once we arrive," He advised her. “You’re still in your early stages,” he reminded her, letting her know how easy it’d be to just push the responsibility onto some other fool.

Her eyes became wide at his solution and her nostrils flared in anger, a sudden burst of fury striking her,

“I will do no such thing !” she growled, quickly pulling him back.

With her quick hand shot directly at him, she managed to grab his shoulder and spin him around roughly. And it was at that moment that he found himself facing a different woman, one he recognized. 

Fire blazed in her (e/c) colored orbs, and by then the tears no longer flowed, slightly pleasing him.

The display of a knowing smirk made its way onto his face as he watched her, preferring her in her current state.

" That is deceiving,  and a much more, a disgusting act. I could never do such a thing !" She said in between gritted teeth, "And for you to expect it from me, I'm appalled." She further seethed.

"You, are simply unbearable," He snickered.

"So are you, darling," she bit back.

‘Just when I think we’ve become strangers...we come to this point again.’ he thought to himself. ‘A change in scenery. A different year and stage in our lives, and yet, it’s all warmly familiar,’ He added, by then certain that he and the woman were destined to be at each other sides.

‘Alright,’ He decided, knowing what had to be done.

"Unbearable woman..." He breathed, " I have another proposition." he informed her.

She nearly tore out her hair at his words, frustrated, because, Could he not just understand?

she couldn't just leave,

"NOTHING YOU SAY COULD POSS-"

"Then I will be that fool…per se."

" …what? " She breathed stepping back from him, anger having disappeared. Instead, she stared at him in awe, as if he had grown a new head entirely.

“Idiot...” She murmured, “Just what are you saying!” She questioned him, still in shock, not knowing how to really react.

" You heard me, I will take responsibility of you both." He said with a low voice, his eyes cast down as he spoke, looking almost hesitant to word his proposal for a reason other than doubt of his own. 

Truly, if there was any reason he looked away, it was because there was a vulnerability to him that he didn’t want to show so openly. 

'Why are you doing this Loki ?’ She gloomily wondered.

“- Why?” She questioned him, “ Just why are you so pent on me leaving with you?” She asked him while taking a step closer to him. 

Her hand reached out to him, her palm gently taking hold of his cheek, easing him to properly gaze at her. 

 “Why?” she breathed, questioning him yet again.

“Could the god of lies and deceit finally tell me the truth?" She challenged him, the words making his lips twitch with the most delicate touch of amusement.

 "- Why not? " He said simply, still not looking towards her, his eyes stubbornly drawn away.

"B-Because !" She argued, not finding where to begin, 

‘ Because I don’t want to hurt you.

Because you deserve so much more. 

Because I love you too much to damn you in any way.’ 

Finally finding it in himself, he pulled up a soft smile, “I see no fault in my plan.” He assured her, the confident comment not easing her.

“It's marriage Loki! A family!” She cried in frustration. “It’s an eternity!” She went on, no longer convinced he knew the true implications of such ties.

“- I understand what it means fully well,” He started, “ And it seems that you do too, so could it be that you simply wish to not bind yourself to me in specific?” he said looking insulted, a hint of playfulness hidden in his words, the childish speak further wounding her, because the lightheartedness he showed only highlighted his true devotion.

His sweet banter only showed how sure he was. 

“No... it's just... what about you?” She whispered with a crooked smile, an imperfect expression that tried too hard to properly showcase all of her inner musings from sadness and loss, to confusion and joy, and even hints of frustration.

“-What of me?” he asked her back, his tone just as sweet as hers. 

“Don't play the role of a fool, because it doesn't fit you well,” she rebutted, the words making him crack a true smile. 

“Do you not see it as sacred as I do?” She said with glittering eyes.

‘To me...this means devoted love. 

This means there is no end. 

This is something my heart has always yearned for,’

“Yes.” He answered her without a shred of hesitance, no second thought hidden between the spaces of the words.

“Then why me…?” She questioned him, “ Why make the sacrifice for me?” choking on her own words when she asked the one question she had begged to be answered.

“ why take me from my home here?” She continued to ask him. “Why put me before your own desires?” (f/n) said while beginning to shake.

“This is my desire,” He said as his hand rose to cover hers, all while his head leaned to her palm even moreso, 

“ I wish you could truly grasp at how special you are. 

How rare it is to find a woman such as yourself, in just about any part of the universe, even while scouring entire realms," he proceeded, grasping her little limb before lacing his fingers with hers, and suspending them in the air between them.

“That child of yours, they will take on my name, and whatever glories are bestowed upon them will be preceded by both of our titles, hopefully with pride,” He said with a small chuckle.

She could detect no lies, and at that, her hand squeezed his, 

“ A child is an extension of you, and so, I could never deny them. They will be mine, just as they are yours.” he spoke before releasing a low, airy chuckle, 

“Perhaps then I can show Odin how a true parent is to treat their son,”

He finished with a snide remark. 

“Son..?” She questioned him, lightly tilting her head as she gazed at him, “A son?” she repeated while envisioning such a child. 

‘Would our son hold resemblance to their father...or would they somehow hold all of me instead?’ She idly thought to herself, envisioning the same beautiful blue eyes that now caused her sorrow being possessed by her child.

“ Yes dear,” Loki said with certainty, “ A son. A boy. wouldn't that be marvelous?” He questioned her, seeming enthralled by the very idea, so much that he slid his free hand down to her upper back, the other that linked with her own held dearly as he took a step to the side, performing a lax spin that was of a poorly preformed waltz, and it reminded her so much of the little dances they preformed as children.

“ Then what if it's a girl?” she interjected, “Would you still be as willing to accept them? ” She said while smugly awaiting his answer, wanting to see him weigh in every possibility.  

“What do you mean if it's a girl ?” He said while stopping their spinning, “ Then there will be a princess born, and she will be a proper lady,” He responded without question, mindlessly falling in sync with her little steps. 

“Oh, and mother will just adore her. We will teach her all sorts of magic and quick Wit.

  She will have both our bronze and brain,

  Your righteous convictions, your every strength...they will be celebrated.

And every weakness she develops will be assured by me,” He swore to her, seeing only a bright path in the wake.

“She will be a gem formed in the same mine as her perfect mother,” He said proudly, but not soon after did his frown overtake him, abruptly stopping their little waltz,

“Which in turn...will mean she will be sought after by just about every man in Asgard,” He mumbled lowly, breaking off from her with a bothered downturn,

“And of course, none will ever be worthy of her, “ he said with a present scowl.

Momentarily, she stared at him, her sight, and mind alike completely taken by the prince who she could only then, describe as precious.

“ Traces of doubt nested within me, until just now, “ She admitted, “You're serious aren't you..?” she asked him with a small chuckle, her (e/c) colored eyes gazing at him with an even brighter light.

“ And I keep asking myself...why?” she said softly, shaking her head all the while, and it was then that his entire face melted into a sweetened softness that was further accented by the gentle smile he presented.

“ You have been with me through and through, just like a shadow, but unlike one, you don’t stand behind me.

You don’t cower yourself, and, instead, show me devotion while everyone else looks away.

 You’ve defended me, despite the many times I've paid you back with everything but the truth. “ he said with shame.

“(f/n), with you, I’ve felt true love,” He admitted to her.

“What we have, to me, has always been treasured.

It has always been cherished. 

I was never doubtful of what it was,” He further confessed. “I do not want you to look at that man more than you have to.

I do not want you to live in the same place he calls home.

- I cannot stand your suffrage.

Do you understand me?

You've always been one to find reason behind my actions and against all logic and reasoning.

You’ve always tried to save me, so now, shouldn't I do the same with you?” He questioned her. 

“(F/n),” He airily murmured, “Would you take my hand, and disappear?” He then asked her, pulling back to just the touch of fingertips.

With an upturned palm, he offered her a sweet smile as he repeated the question a second time,

“(f/n)...Would you take my hand?

[barbatos-the-loyal-butler]

Hi! I was wondering if you could do a gender neutral MC coming out as aroace?

Woo! aroace pride! Y'all are always welcomed here! and if anyone says other wise they suck. Also should I write headcanons about queer platonic relationships??? Is that something people would want? Mc is gn!

Mc was so happy when they came to devildom, it seem that many expectations relating to romantic and sexual relationships where either non existent or very different then they were in the human realm. After while Mc felt fully comfortable with all the demons and members of the exchange program

Lord Diavolo had invited Mc over for some tea and conversation, and it somehow ended up on the topic of romantic relationships. They thought it would be a better time than any to tell him about their being aroace. Lord Diavolo just smiled brightly, moving over to give them a tight hug.

"Thank you for telling me and trusting me. I be not believe you ever needed a romantic relationship to be successful or 'complete'. Its a foolish thing really, I am so happy to be your friend."

After telling Diavolo, mc decided to tell Barbatos. They were baking together one day when they decided to bring it up, Barbatos gave them a small smile before nodding.

"I understand how that may feel, while it is not the same I am demiromantic... so I do support you fully. Platonic relationships are as important as romantic ones may be, and are as fulfilling"

Lucifer was working and Mc was helping him with it, by the time he was done with the large stack of paperwork he thanked Mc and asked if there was anything he could do for them. Mc simply asked him to listen as they nervously told him about their sexuality.

"Mc you do not have anything to worry about, I care deeply about you. It does not matter if you have sexual or romantic relationships. I'm happy you told me and trusted me enough to do so."

Mammon was always around Mc in one way or another, so there was plenty of times to tell him. They decided to after school when mammon was counting the money from his latest scheme, he was a bit surprised at first but quickly smiled.

"huh? Of course I still like ya, your my human! and my closest friend! that's never going to change, doesn't matter what happens!"

Mc was with leviathan and they were playing some video games together, it was over all a normal thing and since it was rare to find levi relaxed they decided it would be best to tell him then. He looks over to them once they said it, looking a bit confused to why they were so nervous but smiled.

"Huh? well romantic subplots can be really boring and forced alot of the time. The action and story is always so much cooler anyway! Now, I know this super cool anime I know you'll love!"

Satan was going through the library with Mc sharing a few books he enjoyed, they spent the evening reading and sharing interesting stories and after a bit he shared one with an aromantic protagonist. given the he like the protagonist they shared that they where aroace. Once he knew he recommended a few other books without romantic subplots and aroace characters.

"Sex and romantic love is not what makes you human, all animals do such things. If anything cooking food is what makes you human, so do not let what other people may say affect you and if they are bothering you I can deal with it."

Asmodeus always respected Mc comfort level with physical touch and his more suggestive talking. Once they did tell Mc, he immediately was over the moon that they told him. Giving Mc a ton of compliments and praise.

"Yes sex is a beautiful thing, but so many other things are beautiful. Including you, and if anything this makes you even more beautiful. Thank you for telling me, and I promise to make sure you are comfortable everyday."

Beelzebub was such a sweetheart, and was making Mc some food when they brought it up. Which just caused him to give them a big hug as he smiles brightly.

"Your part of the family... I'll always care about you. I'll do anything to make you feel safe there... cause you mean so much to me"

Belphegor was cuddling Mc, and almost had fallen asleep on top of them. Both of them were relaxed and Mc told him about it, and belphie opened his eyes looking at them before cuddling them more with a small smile on his face.

"Well.. It's not like cuddling is a romantic thing.... and well we are friends are we not. you did trust me enough to tell me... which is really nice... and hey, if any dumb humans try to tell you anything bad about it I'll kill them for you."

Simeon was sharing a recent small story he wrote with Mc, It was a nice moment between both of them and he could tell that something was on Mcs mind so he asked. Mc told him about it, he was fully supportive.

"Humans are all unique and diverse, that's what makes you wonderful. It doesn't matter if you are different then other, you are perfect the way you are."

Luke was such a sweet child, and overall never really knew why people would think that romantic relationships were something you needed. So it wasn't surprising at all when he fully supported Mc.

"ohhh, that cool!! Your like one of those heros from the shows! The ones that do stuff through the power of friendship... t-they aren't kids shows! I-i'm not a child!"

Solomon was teaching Mc a few spell in their spare time, they were goofing off and just having fun. After a while Mc decided they trusted solomon and told him. He asked a few questions about their comfort level and was mostly just happy to know about it.

"i've met a lot of people in my life and have had a wide range of relationships with them but are friendship is one of the best i've had in awhile. I wouldn't want anything to change about that, so I'm extremely happy you feel comfortable with me enough to share this."
