[peachi-blossom]

Fashionistas, fashion designers, and other characters that are better than Velvette

NOTE: I haven't made one for Velvette so here it is.

Velvette is the only Vee that I don't hate compared to Vox and Valentino. Also her hair looks like swirl ice cream.

Fun fact: My Dad puts on That's So Raven during evening time and falls asleep during nighttime.

Hi, I would like a headcanon of what Lee chaolan x fem's wedding would be like! reader

hii-!! 💜 i love the idea so much,, and i apologize if there's any mistakes since this is my first time writing for Lee!

(o´▽`o) 💜💐 ( and the amount of fics + hcs of him here is criminally low ).

. dividers by @/saradika-graphics and @/cafekitsune ! 🦄

-`✧´- wedding headcanons.

you know you won in life when lee decided to marry and take you as his wife, since marriage is quite a serious and a big thing to him. he is ready to fully commit himself to you.

that's when you know how sincere he is regarding that specific topic.

he would be SUPER loyal to you and change some of his ways FOR YOU.

not his charm and playfulness though like never- it stays.

he'll treat you like his only queen 10000%.

you knew that he's going to be the one for you since he decided to take a step forward with you-- especially when proposing for marriage.

anyway, i just know for sure that the wedding day would be SOOO grand! like the guests list would be endless, and he's not afraid to flaunt everything off ( in a good way perhaps! )

he would pick the BEST wedding dress for you, which obviously would be pricey as heck; made by a well-known designer and brand of your choice if you have any.

he wouldn't mind spending lots of money and possibly going broke for you ( which means never, cuz he got that unlimited money bank going on so he would happily spend lots on you lmao ).

also omg let's talk about the meals-- they would def be those high, first class type of meals being prepared there.

and i personally think that lee would want the wedding to be held with a whole grand hall being rented on, or just within his already large, luxurious mansion.

atp knowing how he is, he probably would want to do the whole wedding venue two times-- bc he's THAT guy.

also, alisa and xiaoyu gonna be your bridesmaids bc the idea is just too cute to me <33

lars and jin gonna be his ( jin mainly joins bc of xiaoyu's convincing lmao ).

claudio might be one of those chefs and waiters ( just wanna add him hh- )

overall, lee is gonna admire and cherish you a LOT nonetheless of where you both decided to marry. he's just happy to be able to properly claim you and finally call you his wife to the whole world <33 !!

and and i just thought that he probably would rent a whole island or like, take you to travel other countries during your honeymoon phase with him; entirely your pick, he wouldn't mind.

i got carried away hhh i hope you liked this! <333

This Day Aria

chapter three! find part one here, and part two here.

tw: canon typical violence, overall goofiness

It was...

...Liu Kang!

"No," he spoke, his voice firm. "You're wrong."

Shang Tsung was in shock, that much was clear. His confident bravado fell, but only for a split second. "Liu Kang," he said, "a wonder you managed to escape."

"Nothing will keep me from my family," Liu Kang said, confidently. "And nothing will keep me from protecting Earthrealm."

The team felt stronger than before, assured now that the fire god was by their side. They circled Shang Tsung, watching the man carefully as both sides looked for an opening to attack.

But each time- be it a sneak attack from Smoke, a blast of fire from Kuai Liang, or a spit of acid by Syzoth was blocked or dodged and met with a painful shot of the sorcerer's green magic that stung and ached, leaving each kombatant out of commission for quite a while.

Even Liu Kang was shocked by Shang Tsung's sudden display, magic of a higher caliber. Each feat was committed without even the slightest hint of a struggle...

"Look!" A sudden exclaimtion from Johnny caught everyone's attention. "What's that on his belt?"

It was Ashrah who was able to get close enough to examine the small amulet- it shone with red magic, with a jewel of some sorts, perhaps, encased within glass. Her kriss revealed to her the darkness within the object.

"It must be amplifying his power," she mused wisely, after moving away before Shang Tsung could grab her.

Kuai Liang lunged for Shang Tsung and swiftly moved out of the way of his fist to try and snatch his belt before being pushed away by said magic.

"You're smarter than you seem, demoness," Shang Tsung quipped, in response to Ashrah. He turned to watch her as she prepared for another go, and he smiled wickedly. "At first, I thought manipulating Kung Lao's love for Raiden would only help me infiltrate your defenses- however, it's proven much more useful than I realized."

Fury burned in Raiden's chest when he heard that. He glanced at Tsung for a moment before looking back down at Lao, and he gently brushed away the hair covering his beautiful but pale face. 

Takeda and Jin glanced at them, then looked at each other worriedly. They were torn between wanting to protect Lao and Raiden, and wanting to help their friends. 

"We'll be their spotters," suggested Takeda.

Jin nodded.

"Get the amulet away from him!" Takeda shouted to the others.

Mileena, who was nursing both her sister and her wife, peered at Tsung, eyes on the glowing object. 

"We can fight," said Kitana, as she helped Tanya stand up. The women grabbed their respective weapons.

"We'll push through." Tomas let an injured Syzoth lean on his shoulder, as they followed Liu Kang back into battle. The three women trailed behind them.

Surrounded once more, Shang Tsung still felt confident in his new amulet, and as usual let a cocky smirk overtake his face. 

"You insolent fools," he muttered.

Liu Kang made the first move- followed by Johnny, Syzoth, and Tanya. But they were only a distraction for the next wave of kombatants- Ashrah, Mileena, and Kenshi- who were able to catch Tsung off guard.

Mileena even reached for the amulet, but was unsuccessful.

She attacked from behind and tried to hold him down.

Meanwhile, Takeda and Jin were watching Raiden and Lao. Raiden, clearly unsure of what to do, and the stress of the situation weighing on his mind. 

"Try saying something to him." Jin's voice took him from his thoughts. "Maybe it'll break him out of...whatever's going on."

Takeda shouted for Asrah to dodge, then apologized for interrupting.

Raiden looked at them both and nodded slowly. 

"Kung Lao," he began, "It's me. Raiden, the real Raiden...

"I'm sure you can hear me, in whatever daze you're in. I'm sorry I couldn't be here to stop what happened."

Battle waged in the background, which distracted him for a moment. He peered downward, and a particular sound from one of his friends getting knocked back made him wince.

"Please..."

First, it was Kuai Liang, knocked into the wall a few times too many, who had to stop fighting. Then Kitana, then Mileena, who were both left weakened from Tsung's strikes. Then, even Liu Kang- who was rendered defenseless, unconscious, and trapped within a barrier of magic so that Tsung could feed off his energy as well.

As Shang Tsung watched the last of Liu Kang's struggles, a loud, hearty laugh erupted from his throat, echoing in the halls.

And Raiden, who kept his gaze on Kung Lao, kept speaking.

"...you have to come back to us. To me. We can't...if Shang Tsung were to win..."

Takeda and Jin had made the decision to join the fray. They were already down three fighters and the fire god.

"I love you," Raiden whispered, against his lips, and he delicately kissed him.

And suddenly Kung Lao shifted in his arms.

Much to Raiden's delight, his love sat up and rubbed his eyes, as if he had just woken up from a long, restless slumber. He met Raiden's gaze and the man couldn't help but tear up.

"Raiden?" Lao asked, groggily. "What's going on? Is the wedding over?"

A burst of magic that narrowly missed his head answered the question for him.

"It's all over!" Shang Tsung growled.

"I'll explain later. But now-" 

"We stop Shang Tsung." Kung Lao got to his feet with Raiden's help. "Let's go."

"The amulet, we have to get it."

The couple approched Tsung and both entered their fighting stances. Lao rose his fists and Raiden, having found his amulet, held it tightly.

"We'll show you the true power of love, sorcerer!" Kung Jin exclaimed as he and Takeda joined the other couple. Corny ass line. But that's Jin for you.

He shot an arrow at Tsung's belt, loosening its hold on his amulet. 

Jin and Takeda sped toward Tsung. Jin kept Tsung's focus on him. Takeda rolled away, his sight on the amulet and he reached for it, but it still wasn't loose enough. 

Asrah and Kenshi sliced Tsung's limbs, and Johnny did his signature Nut Punch- which then, created the perfect opening. 

A clap of thunder roared, and Tsung was hit with Raiden's lightning. Kung Lao snatched Tsung's amulet, threw it on the ground, and crushed it. 

His magic fizzled away, a soft hiss, as it dispersed into the air.

Raiden and Lao stood over Shang Tsung, watching him writhe in pain.

"It's over for you, Shang Tsung," Raiden said.

"Stay down," Lao added.

kiyora jin: boyfriend headcanons

BLUE LOCK M.LIST | reblogs are appreciated! | enjoy !! - aria :3

a.n - I actually am in love with kiyora jin (potential self ship ngl), enjoy this dump of kiyora brain rot. no explicit warnings.

pre-boyfriend!kiyora who sees this all as one big challenge. how long can he tease and flirt with you before one of you eventually caves. he loves the exhilaration of the chase, loves the way it keeps him on his toes and makes his heart flutter. he relishes in the butterflies that swarm around his stomach when he’s with you, and can’t help but be amused by his own nervous flirtatious ramblings.

pre-boyfriend!kiyora who takes in your personality and interests like a god damn sponge. he analyzes you, but he sees it as a bit of a game, like how excited can he get you while sparking up a conversation about your interests. he also does a quick fact check on you to ensure you can find some sort of interest in the stuff he likes as well. would take you some speakeasy underground dance studio so you can cheer him on lol.

pre-boyfriend!kiyora who doesn’t say his feelings outright but definitely isn’t afraid to show you how he feels in other ways. specifically physical touch, quality time, and more-than casual flirting. he’d wrap his arm around you, grad your hand to drag you places, let you take up his free time outside of practice, give you sweet compliments at every chance he gets.

pre-boyfriend!kiyora who eventually finds himself hanging over the edge of insanity every time he thinks about how he can’t call you his. the confession would be swift and almost nonchalant. he’s proud of his feelings for you and doesn’t feel the need to act shy about it once he’s ready. when you say yes he can’t help the smile that creeps across his face which he quickly tries to scrunch up so he isn’t cheesing at you like a dork.

boyfriend!kiyora who has an endless list of hidden gems and secluded spots that he takes you to regularly, places where you can both be alone and enjoy each others presence. he loves any date that involves food, likes going to food festivals and trying all the different food stands. definitely tries to feed you stuff and doesn’t see the problem if you tell him it might look a little weird to other people lol. “Whatever just try it, open up~” he’d scoff at you playfully.

boyfriend!kiyora who loves taking candid pictures of you! he has two separate albums in his phone, one for you looking stupid and one for you looking gorgeous. sometimes his cover is blown by the camera shutter sound from his phone and he has to quickly shove it back in his pocket, looking around like he very obviously was doing something sneaky.

boyfriend!kiyora who dedicates everything to you. if he scores a goal during a game, he looks over to you in the crowed, putting his hand up and pointing at you with a smile as he runs back into position. he makes playlists for you, (attempts to) make you food and desserts.

boyfriend!kiyora who makes silly little stick figure drawings of you two on restaurant napkins when you go out to eat. sometimes he leaves you little notes that he wrote on the back of random pieces of paper he came across, he’s a crafty boy lol.

boyfriend!kiyora who gets jealous rather easily but doesn’t outwardly act possessive about it. he tends to keep those feelings to himself, but if some other guy is really all over you he’d just thrust himself into the situation as aggressively as possible until they get the hint that you’re taken. overall, he trusts you so at the end of the day he knows he has no need to worry!

boyfriend!kiyora who secretly loves being the little spoon. having your arms around him makes him feel so special it warms his heart in a way he can’t describe. he lays his head down on your chest or in your lap whenever you guys are on the couch or in bed together. he loves holding you too but he'll take any chance he can get to be engulfed in your embrace.

Aria.

Yan Capitano x GN Reader.

Synopsis: You and Capitano used to clash when collision inevitably occurred, but now he stands alone atop a world where not even a single flower can bloom.

Warnings: Yandere themes, unhealthy relationship/kidnapping(?), and mind break(?).

Word Count: 500.

this concept was inspired by the song aria by jung jin woo! it's definitely one of my new favorites! <3 english lyrics here! <3

*~*~*~*

“Don’t you wish to leave your chair just for a moment?”

Capitano didn’t mean to make you flinch with his displeased tone, but you did anyhow. For what feels like all afternoon and well into the night, you had stayed essentially glued to a stool near one of the refreshment and appetizer tables. No matter who talked to you – to be fair, it was only Capitano and a servant of his asking if you were under the weather – you didn’t budge. You hadn’t eaten or drunk anything either, despite your chosen throne at this ball, your husband prepared for his political allies.

When consumed by fear, people often don’t consume until it passes.

For what felt like forever Capitano had kept on asking you for a dance. You kept declining his offer the only way you do now – by not doing anything at all like you were a statue or an unfinished replica of who you used to be. As bright as the marigolds that are present everywhere on Mondstadt’s lush plains, you smiled at everyone; including him. Sure it was out of mere politeness in his case, but it was certainly more than enough for him to fall so hard for you that he made a deal with your village elder just a few days later. You cried at first. Then hatred came. After that mellowed out because of your exhaustion from countless failed escape attempts, you look hollow.

Capitano misses the beautiful summer that balanced him out so well.

The warmth of the sun. The embrace of winds littered with flower petals.

You’re like him now – a scarred, broken shell of a human who only follows orders to survive; not that Capitano would ever hurt you.

Everyone has left aside from the cleanup staff and you two. 

Capitano still has his hand outstretched to you as he had offered it more than twenty times in the span of about eight hours.

“Is there…” He mutters, his voice almost being overshadowed by the sound of sweeping from just a few steps away. When he raises his other hand, the maid gets the quiet message and stops. “Is there… anything I can do to get you back? Back to how you were?”

“Apologize,” You respond at long last, your voice all haggard and cold. You didn’t use it very often anymore, after all. Aside from crying into your pillow, that is. “Apologize for what you did to me.”

“I…” Your husband’s voice is nearly identical to yours now but for different reasons. It has been a long time since he had to fight back against the urge to weep a river. “You know I can’t do that, [First].”

You smile. It isn’t a good smile at all. It isn’t similar to the one you gave him that fateful summer day at all. 

“I will continue to hate you then. Until my last breath.”

✰ 𝐩𝐚𝐢𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 : claudio serafino x fem! reader.

✰ 𝐬𝐮𝐦𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐲 : claudio sees you within the cool waters of the pool, before deciding to approach you and make his presence known.

✰ 𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 : reader is wearing a dress ( mentioned ), claudio might be ooc, pretty much a self-indulgent fic. also very fluffy <33

✰ 𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐬 : my very first attempt on writing for him, and the ideas have been brainrotting in my mind for weeks 😭💙 so i just knew that i had to actually post this one out.

. dividers by @/saradika-graphics !! 💫

The light taps of your shoes filled the silent hallways, stepping against the perfectly marbled floors with such ease within the private sanctuary within Italy– the Duomo di Sirio, as it was known to some others. You are also recognized to be in a quite higher position than others as well, just below CLAUDIO SERAFINO himself, as you are his personal confidante. One of his most trusted person, as far as he’s aware.

Not a single soul in sight, so you have decided to take a quick dip within the clear waters of the pool nearby, just to try to cool yourself off due to the warm weather. Claudio wasn’t around as well, since the last time you checked his schedule, he had some important errands to tend to.

Eventually arriving at the intended location, you take one last look around you, just to make sure that no one is present– gradually letting your dress fall onto the hard ground without any sound and changing it to a transparent one, before immediately letting yourself sink within the cool waters below.

Today seemed strangely quiet. For Claudio, at least. He was expecting any sort of greeting from you once he arrived not too long ago, but instead, he finds himself searching for your whereabouts around the place. 

Several thoughts are running through his mind, and yet, none of them have made any proper thoughts due to how messy it currently is. His steps are quite heavy, yet cautious as to not attract any attention somehow. These past few months have been admittedly stressful for him, and it has tested some bits of his patience in ways unimaginable.

It didn’t take him long enough to halt on his tracks, spotting a rather familiar someone by the clear waters. It’s pretty unexpected to see someone taking a dip at this time of the day, yet he couldn’t even blame the said person, as the weather outside has been nothing but merciless to them.

He leaned himself over the edge someplace almost hidden, not wanting his presence to be acknowledged just yet as he rests his arms atop of it. His slate blue eyes are quite sharp and observant, clearly now having different thoughts as he sees the person in the pool, yet none of them has any.. Unholy intentions, dare he say, but rather, one gaze that is filled with pure adoration and silent amazement. 

The sunbeams from above seemed to have touched your face perfectly, which made your expression to appear more serene in a way. Your now wet hair flows down so beautifully, as if you originally belonged in a portrait that’s being highly revered and taken care of– or that’s how he told himself to be, at least.

His thoughts never lied to him, because why would he?

Claudio begins to feel some sort of a strange sensation within his heart– has he been living in a certain darkness for all this time? His throat feels dry, his mind goes hazy for a while there. He has always been a man who's focused solely with his own assigned duties naturally; all the while, trying to avoid any potential distractions within his line of work.

But the sight he’s witnessing right now made him really think deeply. Has he never seen you being all relaxed and ethereal like this? You did it all so effortlessly, which made him possibly be baffled with his own actions if you ever caught him watching you like this.

Without moving away from the spot just yet, the Italian exorcist moves his hand in a smooth fashion– creating something rather unexpected, yet beautiful for anyone who’s able to see it. A small, blue butterfly begins to emerge out of nowhere; glowing vibrantly as it follows the magic flow from his hand, flying discreetly towards where you are. 

The seemingly glowing butterfly gracefully glides across your features, immediately catching your attention as he intended. He watched, as it landed just on your cheek nicely, making you look even more divine from his perspective. It compliments your features so well, which makes his heart swell. 

Claudio has not experienced these types of feelings for a long time now, and he wants– no, needs to keep feeling it deeply within his heart, if he were so bold to say. A warm, genuine smile made its way to his handsome face, wanting to let the scene unfolding ahead of him to be engraved within his memories alone.

The way you smiled as the butterfly flew around you– it is something that he didn’t want to ever forget. Sure, you are his confidante, but your smile alone is enough to send his heart beating so rapidly, as if you are his lifeline. Claudio didn’t even remember when was the last time he’s able to observe you properly like this, without any work-related distractions.

The feeling just escalates even further as he sees how gentle you are, cradling the butterfly on the palm of your hands with an expression of pure awe. He could admit he had feel.. Something, within him– a type of feeling that he ever tried to shut it away from.

When the butterfly has gradually flown away, his smile remains– clearly still mesmerized by the genuine actions you’ve portrayed. It’s beginning to feel a bit funny for him since he doesn’t want the feeling to stop just yet–

“How long have you been standing there, Signore Claudio?”

Has he been stuck within his own train of thoughts for that long? It startled him slightly when your mere voice managed to pull him out from his own little world; now realizing that he has finally been caught. But that’s like the least of his worries at this point.

You have propped one of your hands up by the pool’s edge, placing your head atop of it with an amused expression. Somehow, he doesn’t know how, but you looked even more.. Attractive, looking at him that way. So his smile returned without any ounce of hesitation present.

“I’ve been here for a while now, cara.”

His reply was simple; quickly being followed by the temporal lingering silence between the two of you. But this only made your curiosity grow, tilting your head slightly as you added more words to your previous question even more.

“Have you, really?”

A small smirk is present upon your delicate features by now, “Do you know how improper it is to stare at a lady who’s bathing?”

“I’m aware,” he answered with honesty, not even shifting his gaze away from you just yet. “I just couldn’t resist, bella.”

You rolled your eyes playfully, not wanting to admit that those little nicknames he has specifically given to you did make you swoon internally. Claudio has always possessed a certain charm with him– maybe being Italian is one of them– but that’s beside the point. He’s always been this way ever since you decided to work alongside him, so you almost couldn’t tell yourself.

Not even moving away from your current spot, he begins to approach you with several steps closer; eyes not leaving yours as if he’s simply trying to convey his unspoken words from there.

“You sure know how to make a man’s heart throb.”

“Oh, do I?” You tried to mask your surprised expression, giggling a little with the maintained eye contact. “Do I, perhaps, have caught your heart at least, Signore?”

The Italian exorcist stops just not too far in front of you, yet leaving just a few spaces between you both as he kneels in front of you. Without thinking twice, he leans his face just a bit– his heartbeat is so rapid that he’s sure you might be able to hear it if you went a bit closer to him.

His mind is telling him to move away this instant, but his heart tells him otherwise. Perhaps, something just awakened within him, that he just begins to fall into a clear realization? You have been his confidante for years, after all, maybe that’s why he dares to become a little more bold right now.

Maybe you are the lady who was meant to be his equal in a lot of ways. Maybe now he knows what he’s been lacking.

Claudio was unsure yet, but he can tell for one thing– his heart has spoken to him. He knows what he wants, and he’ll try to slowly pursue it.

“Ah, don’t get too close to the waters. Or else, I might have to pull you along with me.” You leaned your head backwards and slightly move away from him, which caught him off guard.

He decided to just follow what his heart tells him. A genuine chuckle escaped from his luscious lips; already feeling even more entertained by the whole ordeal.

“Is that an offer, bella?” His Italian accent is thickening somehow, and deeper as he spoke those words, his smirk reappearing within seconds. “Then, who am I to refuse?”

You had your brow raised, before giggling then returning his smirk in a similar fashion– swimming even further away from him as a way to possibly tease him, “Well then..”

“You know what to do, Claudio.”

This Day Aria

chapter two! find chapter one here

tw: canon typical violence, overall goofiness

Geras stood in between Kung Lao and 'Raiden', a book in his hand as he recited the words that would bind them for life.

"Kung Lao, Raiden- it is my great pleasure to announce you-"

"STOOOPP!!"

Everything paused and suddenly all eyes were on Kung Jin as he shouted at the top of his lungs and burst through the palace doors. Panting for breath, he glanced across the hall to see disapproving faces and glares, including some from his friends and 'Raiden'. Kung Lao only gave a blank, tired stare, and his eye twitched.

'Raiden' groaned in frustration. "Why does he have to be so overprotective of his cousin?!"

Geras gave him a side glance.

"I mean-" 'Raiden' immediately burst into tears, covering his mouth with one hand. "Why does he have to ruin my special day?"

A few of their friends- Johnny, Kenshi, the princesses and the Lin Kuei- were all a little confused and concerned. They knew something was off, they saw it earlier, but at the same time, maybe Jin was just being overprotective. Well, that's what they thought up until...

Takeda appeared behind Jin. "Because it's not your special day!-"  

"-it's MINE!"

And there he was- the undeniable proof- the true Raiden in the flesh, still tattered and weary from his time in the laboratory. He stood in front of Jin and Takeda, glaring at his mirror image who stood next to his fiancé. 

Everyone erupted in gasps- including their friends.

"I knew it!" Johnny exclaimed.

"You knew nothing, Cage," replied an annoyed Kenshi.

The other Raiden wore a face of anger. "What?! But how did you escape my experiments?!" 

Kung Lao glanced at him.

"They're not as strong as you think," Takeda said. "It was easy to run right past them."

"And your traps," Jin added.

The other Raiden scoffed in amusement. "Clever. But you're still too late!"

"I don't understand," said Tomas, "how could there be two of them?"

"Unless-"

Kuai Liang was cut off by Raiden's accusation. "Because he's Shang Tsung!"

"I KNEW IT!" Johnny shouted. "Raiden is fruity, but not THAT fruity!" He gestured to Shang Tsung as he detransformed, doing that little limp wrist thing he always did.

"Right you are, Champion. And as future ruler of the Realms, I needed another way in- this wedding was the perfect entrance. I'll have more power than I could ever imagine!"

"This again?" Mileena asked with a groan, a hand on the hilt of her sai.

"We've stopped you before, and we'll do it again, sorcerer!" Exclaimed Kitana beside her, who retrieved one of her bladed fans.

Shang Tsung chuckled heartily. "I wouldn't be so sure. Your precious Lord Liu Kang isn't even here to help." 

"He's on his way," Tomas declared, "I'm sure of it! And once he gets here, he'll help us defeat you for the second time!" 

"I doubt that."

"Did you do something to him?!" Raiden demanded, his voice full of the fury he tried so hard to hide, up until now. Rightfully so.

"Oh, I won't spoil the surprise. But your poor husband on the other hand..." 

Shang Tsung gestured to Kung Lao, who remained as still and as pale as a marble statue, the sleepless nights having wrecked havoc on his body and mind- he was exhausted, simply put, and the bags under his eyes immediately stood out to Raiden. Concern filled his veins. What could Shang Tsung possibly have done to him to leave him in this state?

"What did you do to him?!"

"His energy proved useful for my efforts."

Raiden began on his way toward Kung Lao, his adrenaline pushing him further, and the desire to save his beloved fueling him, but-

"Careful, now." Shang Tsung stepped in front of him, crackling green magic in his hand, glaring at Raiden. "Wouldn't want to go back to my laboratory, now would we?"

Raiden took a reluctant step back.

Kitana went in first- throwing a fan to distract Shang Tsung from Raiden as her sister landed a follow-up attack. Mileena dodged a pulse of magic and threw a sai, grazing Tsung's arm.

Raiden, meanwhile, bolted toward Kung Lao, and the moment his man collasped, caught him in his loving arms.

Tomas and Kuai Liang backed up the princesses as they sent a flurry of attacks; Johnny and Kenshi ran up next. Takeda and Jin made their way around the conflict to shield Raiden and Lao.

A sudden burst of Shang Tsung's power sent everyone back, and the sorcerer stood triumphantly in the middle.

"Even now, my servants are working their way here, and soon, I'll take control of Edenia- then Outworld, then the rest of the Realms."

He laughed.

"You'll never find a way to stop me."

"No." 

Shang Tsung sharply turned toward the sudden yet familar voice, and it was...

Clavis x Reader

Prompt: Kissing While Laughing

WC: ~560

“Where do you think you’re going? It’s about to pour!”

“Ack, Jin! My goodness, you scared me. I wanted to bathe and wash my hair but realized I don’t have any more soap. I was hoping to hurry into town and buy some quickly before it starts raining.”

“Look, the first drops are already falling. C’mon. I’ve got something you can have. Clavis gave it to me a few months ago for my birthday but I’ve never even opened it.”

“Really? Aw, you’re a lifesaver! Thank you so much!"

Half an hour later

“CLAVIS!!!!!”

“I’m here, sweet wife, but I thought you said you wanted a moment’s peace in order to— Oh......Oh my……”

“WHAT DID YOU DO?!”

“Me? I-my goodness, that certainly is……a look.”

“I borrowed the shampoo you gave Jin for his birthday and now I look like this!!!”

“You did what? Oh….oh....oh dear, my sweet lamb, my darling. W-why would you do that?”

“Clavis, stop giggling! This isn’t funny. LOOK AT MY HAIR!”

“I-It’s a most fetching shade of……what can we call it? Sunset? Marigold?”

“Clavis! IT’S BRIGHT ORANGE!! I look terrible….."

“Oh no, no my sweetheart. Don't sob. Come here, come to me. That’s right. Let your fantastic husband offer you the sweet comfort of his embrace and–ow!”

“WHY WOULD YOU GIVE THIS TO JIN?!”

“Because it's funny! Don’t tell me the notion of that ladies man suddenly having hair the color of an orangutan isn't funny!”

“I LOOK LIKE AN ORANGUTAN?!”

“No, no my dearest one. No, you don’t. Come, let’s sit on the bed. That’s right, here’s a tissue. Come here, my love. Right here, let me hold you close. Ahhhh, isn't that better?”

....Sniffle....

“Now, let’s wipe away those pesky tears from your angelic face. While it certainly is a change….I can assure you, the color will fade in a few days.”

....Sniffle.... “Promise?”

“Yes, my sweet lamb. I made it myself. I know it will. Now.......come here, Mrs. Lelouch, and let me kiss you.”

“I look like a carrot," you whisper sorrowfully, barely able to get the word "carrot" out.

Clavis bursts into soft laughter, cupping your sweet but oh so glum face in his hands, gently wiping away the last stray teardrops.

“You are a most ravishing carrot.” He presses a kiss to the corner of your eye, cradling your cheek in his palm.

“I’m a pumpkin.” But your voice is wavering with the threat of laughter, a shadow of a smile on your lips.

“You are absolutely the most alluring pumpkin that has ever existed.” His mouth is by your ear, his teeth playfully nipping at your earlobe.

“I’m a clownfish.” You can't hold back anymore and your voice breaks with laughter on the word "clownfish."

His laughter intertwines with yours, creating the melody of a happy couple. He nuzzles your damp but still extremely orange hair. “You are the most attractive, beguiling clownfish in the whole sea.”

“Oh, Clavis.” You can’t stop giggling as you shake your head. He leans forward, pressing kiss after kiss to your lips.

“My beautiful sweet potato,” he murmurs, his lips brushing yours. “My exotic tangerine.” With a gentle push you fall back onto the bed and he is above you, a tender hand brushing the bright locks away from your face, his golden eyes aglow with affection.

“My darling, my sweetheart….let me show you how very much I adore you, always and forever, no matter what color your hair may be.”
