#cyberpunk edgerunner x reader

[manias-wordcount]

Hi hi! I’m not sure if you have ever written anything for Cyberpunk Edgerunners (I don’t see it on your blog so probably not lmao) but I was wondering if you can write anything with David Martinez? The plot can be up to you, just want more love for my pretty beefcake boy. Ty!

Reunion and Dating HCs (David Martinez)

You’re definitely someone from his past who grew up having a somewhat similar lifestyle to his early life

Like someone who he could easily strike up a conversation with and have an easy and steady conversation flow

But the two of you never really sought each other out or were that close otherwise

So running into him a year later was a shock for both of you because you turned out to be going on a somewhat decent path at least and he’s well… y’know

But after a short reunion and a few more meet-ups, he starts pursuing you a little more seriously

You’re probably really hesitant given all that he’s involved with and you’re kinda not about that life

But he does a good job keeping work and personal life separate when it comes to you so after a while, you start to give him a chance

Truthfully, he always had at least a small crush on you, but meeting you again after some time had him seeing you in a different light

You reminded him of simpler, easier times when things were calmer and he hadn’t lost so many of the people he cared about

And although he knows he can’t turn back now and escape this lifestyle, he at least finds some peace whenever he has you in his arms <3

Being in a relationship with Adam Smasher would consist of (Corpo!Reader):

You wondering how the fuck it happened.

Everyone else wondering how the fuck it happened.

Becoming the talk of Arasaka and Night City simply because it fucking happened (how???).

Meanwhile, Smasher doesn't think much of the hoopla and speculation because he'd BEEN claimed you as his. He doesn't call just anyone a cut of fuckable meat.

Finding out that apparently, Adam has something of a nickname for you. Asking him yields zero answers.

You turning the tables and calling him a cut of fuckable chrome and to your surprise, he responds with a simple "Heh."

Living but... not living with him. Not really. He's almost always gone anyway. It's also really your place but Adam made himself comfortable and... the rest is history, you guess.

You're actually more likely to see him when you're at work because he's practically taken over your office, too. By just sitting there.

Smasher liking to scare the ever-living shit out of you. He doesn't talk unless necessary; whenever the quiet ambiance of your space is broken by him suddenly talking, you tend to jump. And it amuses him.

Wondering what Smasher's doing or thinking about whenever he's silently making a dent in your office couch. Apparently, he's mostly watching you. Because you're his cut of fuckable meat of course.

Smasher isn't one for jealousy (so he would have you believe) because who the fuck would be dumb enough to challenge him for what's his? However, he can and will make reinforce his claim should some pathetic fuck try their luck with you. This... surprises you? ...Why does this surprise you? This is Adam Smasher we're talking about.

Rubbing that big chrome dome of his, and Smasher going "Mmmm," but because he's borg'd the fuck up, it's an oddly soothing low mechanical purring. This is perhaps the only other sound you've ever heard him make.

Sometimes, when you're tired of working, you'll just slump down on the couch and lean against Adam. And he'll let you, too. For a little bit. Then he'll be an asshole and go, "Can you really afford to take a break now?" Fuck off, Smasher.

yandere maine crew hcs plz :3

CW: yandere themes, not asking consent(Pilars part), sa, ooc characters(?), mentions of murder. Gn reader

Characters: Maine, Dorio, Kiwi, Lucy, David, Pilar, Rebecca.

Divider credits: @cafekitsune

A/n: ofc, this also helped me get out of my rut of not writing at all so thank you!<3

Maine

He's not the most patient, but he's not the most forceful either.

He'd rather you love him on your own accord, but he doesn't mind making you love him, especially if you take too long to show any affection.

He's a little possessive, he doesn't mind if you have a friend outside of the crew, but he hates when you touch anyone that's not him or Dorio. Pilar is..annoying. But even he knows not to push it too far. It doesn't mean he's not going to push that line as far as it can go.

If you joined his crew, then great. Better reason to get close to you. But if you're just a random civilian, of course you'll be confused as to why someone like him is interested in talking to you.

You know you shouldn't be weary of him because of how he looks or his background. So you try to be nice. You make conversation with him, questioning the occasional suspicious things he says but, it's probably nothing. You don't want to be mean, so you never turn him down when he asks you something small.

When he brought his girlfriend, Dorio, around, you really thought it was okay. He seemed to love her a lot. So you ignored the side of your brain that was screaming at you to cut contact with him, to atleast be a little more safe and to question his objectives more.

You should've known, should've done differently. You never should've even spoken to him in a friendly way. But now you're stuck. He says he's doing it for you, for your safety, but is he? You used to think he wasn't but you can't tell anymore.

Dorio

She tries to take it slow with you, she doesn't want to scare you off or make you hate her. But it's so hard sometimes. All she wants to do is show you how much she loves you, how much she cares.

If you don't accept her confession, she'll ignore it. She'll act like you're both together. She doesn't care. She needs to let out how she feels in some way.

She tries to make you have a relationship with Maine as well, she's less forceful with that, because in her mind, you'll come around.

If you try to leave or breakup-even though you were never dating in the first place-she'll threaten you. If you never do that, she'll be sweet with you. She doesn't mind if you express displeasure with some things she or Maine do. Everyone needs their boundaries, even if she doesn't like them.

Overall, she's pretty tame. She prefers you to spend all of your time with her or Maine but she doesn't mind when you spend a little time with others-atleast those in the crew.

Kiwi

She's more of a stalker, she knows she shouldn't get close. She shouldn't entertain this fascination of hers.

She observes you when she can, taking note of your movements and making sure she knows your schedule and you to the point that she knows what you're doing, even if you're not doing what you regularly are.

She's possessive, but she knows she can't just kill everyone who touches you. So she settles for the occasional stranger or acquaintance every now and then. It's never enough. And eventually, she cracks.

If you're in Maine's crew, she'll talk to you sometimes of course. Never being too nice, never being too standoffish. Like you don't matter to her.

If you're not, then of course one day she can't help it. She'll squeeze herself into your schedule, just to keep how she feels at bay. She'll talk to you for a moment, feel the fleeting brush of your hand under hers as she apologizes for bumping into you.

Soon she starts popping up more and more in your life. It's odd, but she seems nice.

After a while of the same song and dance, she starts to yearn for more. Stronger than before. She knows that soon she'll have to do something. She's already planning on what.

Lucy

She tries to become someone close to you first, she stalks you when she's already seen you for the day, and she wants to know what you're doing.

She's not stupid, she takes it slow. She doesn't mind playing the long game if she gets you in the end.

Eventually, once she's one of your closest friends, she slowly starts picking off everyone you know. Your friends, family, whoever. At first it was just a sad coincidence, in the end it was a curse for you. You even shut her out, you didn't want her to get hurt or die.

She saw how much it was hurting you, but she kept going. She left some, but you wouldn't let them near you, and they didn't want to be around you either. She was the only one you had left. You should've been suspicious. But you were just grateful.

She'd never leave you. She's been by your side through everything. In the end, you're the one confessing. She doesn't reject you. You should've known. But how could you have?

David (before time skip)

He wants to make you comfortable, wants to make you feel safe and he wants for you to love him naturally.

But he can't help how clingy he is, always offering to come with you everywhere, like a dog.

Let's say you're his best friend, he knows he's been pining over you for so long. He just never realized how bad it was until recently. When he felt genuine murderous intent when he saw another one of your friends-a male one-hug you. He doesn't think he's ever felt like that before.

You're always the one to patch him up when he gets bullied, and he loves it. He loves it so much. You're so kind to him. You're so close to him.

He confessed to you the day before his mother died. He thought that, for once, everything was going perfect for him.

After he joined Maine's crew, he introduced you to them of course. You told him to be careful, to make sure he doesn't get hurt. You don't know much but obviously it's not a great line of work. He did his best to listen to you, to not worry you. But eventually, there was nothing he could do.

David (after time skip)

If you thought he was bad before, he's insufferable now. Occasionally, you can use the bathroom alone. But not most of the time. He gets on your nerves so much.

And he's only gotten more possessive. He hates it when you even glance at anyone. He tries to be lenient with you, you're only a human. It's natural for your eyes to wander around, for you to be curious. But when other people look at you? It's a different story.

He lets you around the crew, sometimes. He doesn't want you to get attached to them, or anything like that. He wants you to rely on him for everything. Food, touch, conversation, safety, love.

You couldn't leave him if you tried, but it's better not to.

Pilar

He's a little more laid back, not very possessive. He doesn't mind it much if you're around others, as long as you come back to him in the end.

But he does hang off you like you're the only thing keeping him alive. His arm is almost always around you, and if it's not he's still around you.

He's touchy, sometimes he tries to take it slow but he can't help giving you the occasional grope or feel. He's more forceful with touch than the others, but he's less forceful with how you feel. He knows you wouldn't love him, atleast not immediately. So he doesn't mind.

If you're a civilian, you're bound to think he's a bit odd. He didn't start touching you inappropriately immediately, but he was pretty touchy from the start. The same goes for if you were in Maine's crew, although he does start to give you gropes faster.

Rebecca

She's rather clingy, like her brother. She's always with you. She's confident in herself, but she doesn't mind being a little forceful to get what she wants.

She's possessive as well, getting irritated the moment you talk to someone. She acts annoyed when you interact with others, but if you start expressing that you feel bad she shuts up. She doesn't want you to feel bad, she just wants the other person to go the fuck away.

She doesn't mind killing for you, it only makes her enjoy it more. She knows not to be too extreme with it, to not kill every person you know, but it's hard for her.

It's more likely that you met her if you were in Maine's crew, but if you're a civilian then you only met her by chance. She doesn't plan much, just sort of suddenly pushing herself into your life.

She's loud and brash, but it's sort of endearing in a way. You start to look forward to seeing her again, even if the ways are always random or at the wrong time.

Maine's crew

If you have the attention of all of them, then you're fucked.

You're never left alone, not for a second. Most of the time it's at least two of them with you. You're coddled and doted on like a child.

There was a chance you could've escaped one of them, but all of them? No shot.

If one of them does something to make you uncomfortable, most of the time another stops them or tells them off. Most of them don't want you to hate them, the others...don't really care. As long as they have you.

Extra notes: I wasn't sure if I should add a little more of the entire crew but I ended up writing a little for them !

“...don’t wanna get up…”

“You have to, baby. Can’t keep Uncle V and Tio Jackie waiting for you to show up”

David groaned and proceeded to rub his face further into your warm bosom, seemingly willing himself to return to the sweet embrace of dreamland. You shook your head, the corners of your lips twitching upwards as you stared down at the sleepy brunette. Remembering that this is the same boy you watched turn into a man and yet somehow still have that same boyish charm you’d fallen for growing up will bring a smile to your lips.

Considering everything he’d gone through, you’re all the more thankful that David didn’t let this harsh world snuff out the fire within him. And that it’s you he chose to share his warmth with, despite being nothing but an ordinary teen, especially compared to him.

“While I could just let you sleep in and tell them to let you take the day off, I know you’ll feel worse knowing you could’ve been there to help them with this gig but didn’t,” Running your hands through his hair, you pressed kisses to the top of his head and giggled as you hear his muffled complaints from within the safety of your chest. 

“Why do you always have to be right?”

Now that you were finally blessed with the sight of those eyes that never failed to remind you of warm, melted chocolate, the smile you sported could only widen further. You pressed a kiss to the corner of his lips as you greeted him a good morning, only to be pulled back the moment you tried to back away.

While you weren’t fond of putting enhancements on yourself aside from the bare minimum to function in this world, you wouldn’t have put any effort into escaping David’s grasp even if you did have any physical enhancers. 

It took a few missed calls before either of you noticed your phones ringing nonstop as your respective uncles tried checking up on both of you.

𝐉𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐒𝐦𝐚𝐬𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬, 𝐯𝟐.

v1.

Adam Smasher whose, uh, interest in you has made you the talk of Arasaka. Yep, you're special alright.

If your co-workers aren't quiet as a church mouse every time you enter a room, they're gossipping like crazy when you're not in earshot. You feel like a circus act what with the way people are talking. And of course, your superiors would openly dismiss it as office gossip at best but secretly...

Of course, there's always that one messy dumbass coworker who never takes the time to read the room and just straight up asks you, "So... you're dealing with Smasher, eh?" ...Huh? What the fuck? Smasher?! ADAM SMASHER?! Since when? You're equal parts shocked, confused, and... embarrassed?

And unfortunately, as much as you'd like to hide in your office and never come out, you can't do that. Unfortunately. ESPECIALLY from Adam Smasher, who's made your shitty nice couch his.

Adam Smasher who doesn't even deign to entertain your bullshit question with a response and just sits there. Menacingly. ("Why... Why are you here, Smasher?" "....") What the fuck kind of question is that?

Adam Smasher who makes it a point to intimidate that one messy dumbass coworker because they caused YOU to ask him that stupid ass question. Killing them expends more energy than they're worth (for now) and Smasher is getting his rocks off watching them piss themselves in horror every time he sees them.

Adam Smasher who doesn't verbalize it but pretty much confirms you're HIS cut of meat in the slaughterhouse. In more ways than one. Because fuck you that's why.

And poor, special you. Once you connect the dots (fucking finally), you have to have a stiff drink to keep from freaking the fuck out. Chill, choom. Have another drink. And maybe another one. You didn't want this shit, you just wanted a nice cushy job, money, and some power. Fuck.

Adam Smasher whose, uh, interest in you culminates in you sitting before your superiors in Arasaka and they've given you an offer you can't refuse. No, I'm not saying that lightly. You've no other choice but to accept it.

You can either help keep Smasher in line with this... thing you two got going on (what fucking thing?!) and continue to rise to the top or you can be, uh... you can be zeroed. Career-wise or your lifestyle, there are so many ways to interpret that (there aren't). So... what are you gonna do, corpo?

Just Smasher Things. Accept that you're special now, kid...

[manias-wordcount]

Aaaa tysm for the David Martinez hcs!! Me and my friend were so excited about it lmaoo!

If its alright to ask for another one, could we get something like the reader is looking at his jacket (which was previously his mom’s) and just quietly admiring it while David knows damn well the reader is staring straight at him and his jacket? Like we’re not at all subtle about it but it amuses David a little bit?

Thank you again, and have an awesome possum day!!!

Curious about his Jacket HCs (David Martinez)

𝗔/𝗡: 𝘀𝗼𝗿𝗿𝘆 𝗶𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗵𝗶𝗺! 𝗶 𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲𝗻'𝘁 𝘄𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗱 𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁 𝗱𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗱 (𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗶 𝗱𝗶𝗱𝗻'𝘁 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻 𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗶𝘀𝗵 𝗶𝘁 𝗹𝗼𝗹) 𝘀𝗼 𝗶 𝗱𝗼𝗻'𝘁 𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝗺𝘂𝗰𝗵. 𝗲𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝘄𝗮𝘆, 𝗶 𝗵𝗼𝗽𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗲𝗻𝗷𝗼𝘆!

𝙒𝙖𝙣𝙩 𝙩𝙤 𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙙 𝙢𝙤𝙧𝙚? ⇒ 𝙈𝙖𝙨𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙡𝙞𝙨𝙩

𝙟𝙤𝙞𝙣 𝙢𝙮 𝙙𝙞𝙨𝙘𝙤𝙧𝙙 𝙨𝙚𝙧𝙫𝙚𝙧?

𝙗𝙪𝙮 𝙢𝙚 𝙖 𝙘𝙤𝙛𝙛𝙚𝙚?

It’s been pretty obvious from the beginning (probably because you didn’t think to hide what you were doing)

So at this point, he’s just waiting for you to ask

Ask where he got it from, ask if was originally his, ask if you could try it on, etc. etc.

He thinks it’s pretty cute how you’re always admiring it because you’re curious

And he has a feeling that every time you see it, you’re trying to remember when you’ve seen this type of jacket before

Still, it’s very amusing that he can just look over at you at any given time and there’s a good chance that you’re starting straight at him, eyes narrowed and focused on the jacket, distracted out of your mind

And on the rare occasions that you do catch on to him staring back at you, he gets to see the extremely adorable sight of you looking away and getting all embarrassed that you’re caught LOL

Still, he does wait for you to eventually approach him with all your questions

And he’s more than happy to answer them all when you finally do start to ask them

But for now, he does really get a kick out of the sight of you being so timid and shy when it comes to being curious about him and his jacket

How about headcanons for Lucy from Cyberpunk?

(CYBERPUNK) YANDERE! LUCY x READER: Headcannons

RECEIPT ✂- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

BARISTA'S NOTE: N/A FANDOM: Cyberpunk Edgerunners

Thank you for ordering!

Come again soon!

Lucy!!

I headcannon Lucy as a Posessive, Protective, Stalking and Lucid yandere.

Possessive in the way that she feels a sort of jealousy whenever someone talks to you, A sort of need Lucy feels to show that you and her are together, Often becoming bitter towards anyone she deems as a threat.

Protective in the way that she worries for you. In a dystopian world where violence, Crime and healthcare is a rich mans luxury, She believes she has full right to worry for you. Sure, She's a bit more overbearing than she probably should be, But

Stalking in the way that ties into the protective part. Lucy often follows you around and with her skill, You most certainly won't know she's doing it. Lucy likes to make sure you're safe, Making sure that your day goes by as peacefully as it can be.

She's lucid in the way that she knows what she's doing is wrong. A part of her feels bad for you, Lucy knowing that she should back off. But a much bigger part of her wants to come closer, Much closer than anyone ever should with someone.

I can see this going in really only one way.

You are an average citizen going about your daily life, Living in the ever-bustling heart of Night City. You're not particularly rich or poor, You don't really have any big aspirations either. You prefer to just go through the motions, Going wherever life takes you.

But what you do have is a rather pricy chip, One that could go for quite a lot on the market. And it just so happens that Lucy happened to notice. Seeing an easy grab, She casually strolled past while you were distracted, Caught your chip and-

"Give it back."

Her wrist was caught in yours, A surprisingly strong grip you had as her head snapped over to you with wide eyes.

You met it with a stare that could kill a man, A calm yet firm look in Lucy's eyes that made her just freeze up.

The fact that you caught her hand, That and the look you gave her- Her grip released instantly, Dropping the chip into your palm.

You let go of her wrist, Watching as she sped away as you reinserted the chip into your system. You saw the pastel rainbow of her hair shimmer in the light, A rather memorable fade.

Lucy, On the other hand, Is shocked to say the least.

As soon as you had caught her wrist, She didn't know what to say. With that look in your eyes, For once in her life she froze in place, Unable to do anything but oblige and drop the chip into your hands.

She knows she should've interrogated you, Found out who you were, But her mind had drawn blanks..

And she's grown interested.

Lucy instantly starts to search for information on you, Anything. What's your name, Where do you live, Where you went to school, How old you are, What your type is. Anything.

And Lucy is surprised to find out that you're completely normal. You're not rich, Not poor. Grew up in an average area, Went to an average school and lived a generally average life.

And yet she's interested anyways.

Lucy doesn't know what it is about you. Was it your looks? Your stare? Or the way your body heat felt so abnormally warm and inviting on her skin, How you made her feel addictingly strange when you met eye to eye. Maybe she just needs to know more.

She's invested in you, She wants to see you again.

It's night time, A good few days after meeting Lucy. You're walking home from work like you usually do, Taking the train before walking home the rest of the way.

As you do however, You notice a chromatic shine come from a feminine figure leaning up against one of the walls, Coincidentally in your pathway, Side-eyeing you from behind her short-cut hair.

It's the thief.

You recognised her by her hair, The rainbow pastel from her hair was near luminescent under the night's sky. You turn off the music playing in your ears, Looking up at her and ask her what she's doing here, On guard.

Lucy this time is prepared however, Keeping her calm as she raised up from the building she leaned on.

Lucy explains that she wanted to apologise for what happened a few days ago, Explaining that she felt bad for doing that and wanted to make it up to you.

You, Of course, Are rightfully suspicious of her. Not because she knew your work route, No, She was a thief with tech access and that was easy information to gather. You were suspicious because a thief wanted to formally apologise.

You deny her at first.

But when she says that she wants to make up for it by buying you a drink, At a rather expensive bar only a bit away, One that was notorious for good service and always had a lotta people ready to intervene if necessary.. You consider it.

You had a rather hard day at work and quite frankly it might as well have been a hard few months. You were exhausted, Your boss forcing you to work overtime gave you little time to enjoy yourself.. And a drink sounded nice, Even if it was with a thief.

And hey, You didn't really have any valuables apart your chip, And you could easily tell if she stole it so..

You go out for a drink with the Thief. Lucy only really wanted to do this as a way to find out more about you, To kill the cat, Per se. But she ended up enjoying herself much more than she should've.

Throughout the night she acted standoffish, Pretty aloof as she asked off-handed questions about your life. Though as you both took a couple more shots, Lucy started to realise she was having a good time.

By the end of the night, When she offered to walk you back home, Lucy had completely forgotten about her goal of knowing more about you..

You thank her for the night and leave, Leaving Lucy with a sense of yearning she had never experienced before, A want to stay.

Lucy doesn't wanna go.

But she does, With full intention to return tomorrow.

For the next few weeks when you head off to work, Lucy meets you by the front door and comes with you on your journey to work. Through both journeys, The train route and the walking journey.

Lucy excuses it as her going the same way, And in some aspects it is. She can conduct her chip-stealing side gig on the train while still working in your general vicinity.

You notice that Lucy always stays close to you when walking back and forth from your job, Almost like a guard dog as she eyes up anyone who comes just a little too close for her liking.

You excuse it as her being Lucy, Wouldn't be out of character for a thief to be paranoid.

But what you don't know is that Lucy has hacked into your apartment's cameras. When she's not with you or doing her stuff with the Edge-runners, She always has a screen locked in your apartment that she glances at every few minutes.

You find that you've been just a little wealthier than you have been before. You were always just barely making rent, But now you find yourself being able to make rent easily and have change to treat yourself to something nice.

People that bothered you before seem to go missing. Men who harass you in the streets seem to actively avoid you now, Your boss seems to lighten up on your overtime and eyes you up and down with a near terrified stare. You're life is getting.. Weird.

Lucy opens up to you about her dreams of going to the moon, And you understand entirely. You don't call it stupid or give Lucy some weird look, You just accept it.

And Lucy appreciates it so much.

Lucy begins to take you out on her free-time. To bars or other places you particularly enjoy, And you appreciate it a lot! Lucy always seems to have a hand on you somewhere though-

An arm around your waist just a bit too close, A hand holding yours a little too tight. When you had a smudge on your lips, Lucy leaned in just a little too close when she wiped it off.

Lucy never seemed like a touchy-feely type, But when she's around you that seems to change.

You make Lucy feel welcome, You make her feel like a friend.

And for some reason, Lucy wants to get closer.

Lucy can't get you out of your head, And it could take weeks to months for her to actually realise how close she wants to get with you. When she does, Lucy feels shocked, Almost horrified.

There was no way..

When she accepts how she's feeling, There's no doubt about it. When Lucy walks you home from work, She lingers by and asks to speak to you before you go into your apartment.

Lucy takes a while to gather her words, But eventually, She says it.

Lucy asks if you'd want to explore something just a bit more than a platonic relationship, Slightly embarrassed and flustered as she asks this, A blush that makes her usually calm face seem so out of character.

But.. You frown.

You tell Lucy that you're so sorry, But a woman from your work had already asked you out around a week ago and you had said yes. You apologise, Saying that you'd still really want to be friends with her.

Lucy's face goes blank as you tell her this, She doesn't have any overreaction or disheartened look appear on her visage. Just.. Nothing.

You thank her for walking you home and she nods slightly, You close the door and leave her in the hallway.

She didn't say she expected this, No, She thought she knew everything about you! She thought you would at least go out on a date to test waters but-

Lucy breathed out.

She needed to keep her cool, But she couldn't let this go either. The way you make her feel makes her feel so.. Not alone anymore.

She wants to go to the moon, And she wants to do it with you.

But she can't, Not if you were with someone that wasn't her. Lucy knew what she wanted to do was wrong, Especially to some innocent person she hadn't even met yet.

But.. Lucy wasn't ready to let go, And most likely never will.

You and the woman that asked you out have decided to go to a bar as a first date, You're already walking to the place in some nice clothes. You're excited, A little nervous too.

You've been fretting over this for ages now. Was your hair okay? What about your clothes? You remembered to put on perfume, Right? What about your wallet, You remembered to bring that, Didn't you?

You sigh, Trying to stay calm as you almost reach the bar.

But you hear something clash in the alleyway, Almost like something heavy hitting the ground.

You know you should just keep walking, Keep your head faced forward. It could just be some junkies or something you'd rather not get involved in, You know you shouldn't but you take a glance anyways.

And you seem to notice.. A pastel rainbow shine coming from inside.

Your eyes widen, Though it's dark you can definetly make out the figure of Lucy standing deep within the alleyway. You're surprised, Wondering why she's here as you take a closer look..

And she was covered in blood.

You finally see what it was that fell to create that large thump! A feminine, Humanoid looking shape lying covered in red on the alleyway floor, A bullet hole through the head.

You scream, Realising that the woman you were meant to go out with, Was that shape.

Lucy finally notices you staring at her, Snapping up her head with wide eyes. You had came early, Much earlier than Lucy had been expecting. She had assumed that she'd have time-

You turn to run away, Get away, But Lucy was much faster than you as her hand lunges to your wrist. She pulls you back towards her, Hurriedly telling you to hush.

But you don't listen, You yell out for help, Screaming that someone was dead. Lucy's heart starts to drum faster than the flap of a hummingbirds wings, Eyes widening, She panics.

Suddenly you fall to the floor, Going unconscious. Lucy stands over you, Having knocked you out with the hilt of her gun.

She can hear people starting to notice the commotion. Knowing there was no turning back now, She pulls you up into her arms and begins to make her escape, Formulating some sort of plan to make this work.

And when you wake up, Restrained and tied down to a chair, You know you're not gonna make it out.

Soft yandere David x reader

TW: Slight angst, ooc David probably, size+strength difference, a few uses of Y/N, after time skip, stalking, fem!reader.

WC: 1.2k

You were practically rushing around this morning, in a hurry because you have a job interview. You woke up late, had to make breakfast for your little sister, bring her to school, and now, it's finally after the interview. You hope you got it. You already work as a bartender, but it's just not enough to provide. Especially now that your rent has been raised.

As you walk, spaced out and thinking, you bump into someone. You freeze and look up from the ground, and you have to crane your head to look at the man. Your heart practically stops in your chest. The guy is, to say the least, huge. And you don't live in the best place, though practically none of Night City is necessarily "the best". You're terrified. The man looks tired and annoyed, his eyes are narrowed and his eyebrows are furrowed as he looks down at you.

"I-I'm so sorry." You choke out, quickly backing up from the man. His expression stays the same for a minute, before it softens. "Nah, it's good. We both should've watched where we were going." The man says, smiling a little. "Um..yea. Thank you." You reply. You thought he was going to be livid and have a much, much, worse reaction than he really did.

The man just smiles a little more and holds out his hand for a handshake. You hesitate at first, but take his hand and slightly shake it. Your hand is miniature compared to his. "I'm David." The man, who is now known as David, states. "Oh um..I'm Y/N." You clear your throat as you utter, but David just nods. "Nice name. Well I gotta go so, I'll see you around?" David lets go of your hand and begins to walk past you, turning his head back a little to hear your response. "U-Uh..Yeah." You murmur, and David smiles as he walks off.

David was right, only he sees you a lot more than you see him. He excuses his actions with the thought that, well, Night City is dangerous. He's just making sure you're okay. There's no harm to it. He just needs to protect you. You have no cyberware, he assumes you couldn't afford it even if you wanted to, do you want cyberware? Is that little girl your kid? If so, how young were you when you got pregnant? What's the girls name? He's sure she needs a father figure in her life, right?

The next time you bump into David was a few weeks later, he smiled down at you and asked if you wanted him to help you home. It was pretty late. And he doesn't seem like a bad guy, but you didn't say yes. You barely know him! David jusr smiled and nodded. He gets it. If he was in your position he wouldn't have said yes either. But still, he followed you after you left, making sure you didn't realize he was there. He doesn't want to call it stalking, he's just making sure you're okay, but yeah, he basically stalks you.

Eventually, after a few months of purposefully bumping into you, the dates not too far apart but not too close either, you considered David a friend. You started planning some hangouts if you had some free time. He learned that the girl, Nana, is in fact not your daughter, and she's 7. You brought Nana with you when David invited you somewhere or vice versa, and she was shy at first, but she grew to like David.

David was with you while you worked every now and then, just stared at you as you poured a shot of liquor for a customer. David walked you home after your shift ended, 12am. You offered to let him stay, and so he is. You don't have an extra bedroom in your apartment, and you know the couch isn't very comfortable, so you added that he could sleep on your bed if he wanted. He was ecstatic. Up until he realized that, 1, you'd be sleeping on the couch and 2, your bed nor your couch allows him to lay down comfortably. But he was still optimistic, he got to be around you, and you trusted him enough to sleep in your house.

You gave him two blankets and a pillow when he said he was fine with sleeping on the couch, and now it's dark, he's sitting on your couch, a blanket hanging off his shoulders and another covering his lap.

He can't sleep. Maybe because of the fact he's sitting, or maybe the fact he's been left alone in the dark with his thoughts; He doesn't blame you for either, he gets why you can get a bigger couch or a big spare bed, and why you can't keep the TV on for very long. But the real reason he can't sleep, at least to him, is because you're so close to him, just down the hallway. But at the same time you're so far away, he's in the same small apartment as you, yet can't even catch a glimpse of your face right now.

David tries to be optimistic again, at least he can protect you and Nana if something happens. Because you certainly can't. He admires you even more for the fact that your only Cyberware that is installed is for communication and the basics, not only because you couldn't afford any Cybernetics, but because you don't want any. David's thoughts are back to the fact that you're in another room. How do you look when you're sleeping? Maybe you look peaceful, blessed with the sweetest of dreams? Or maybe your face is contorted in fear, your mind riddled with terrifying nightmares? 

David stands, quickly folding the two blankets you gave him and placing them on the couch. He quietly walks down the short hall and is faced with your closed door. He tries to excuse his actions, what if someone broke into your room? He's just checking. He opens the door.

David is met with a rather small room, even for this apartment, the only thing in it is your bed, closet and photos of Nana as well as drawings from her taped onto the wall. He searches for you through the darkness, he can see you easily so he steps closer. He's rather quiet for someone of such large stature. Once he's beside your bed he just stares for a little. You don't look peaceful nor fearful. You just look...troubled and tired, yet so beautiful. Just like always. Even in the few hours of sleep you get, you don't get a break, your mind is still riddled with thoughts of paying rent, waking up on time, feeding Nana, paying the babysitter, making sure Nana is okay. 

You don't deserve to have to work two jobs and get a small amount of sleep before the cycle repeats. You don't deserve to have had to drop out of school so you could take on jobs and pay for you and your sister's necessities. 

He sighs and moves his large, cold and metal hand up to his face and kisses the thumb lightly. David then reaches down with the same hand and brushes his thumb against your cheek as he simultaneously crouches down beside the bed. He makes a promise to himself. To his mother, to Nana, and to you.

No matter who else he fails or has to hurt, he'll watch over you.

He'll protect you.

A Strange Encounter…

Loading…

Cyberpunk Edgerunners AU (Trigun)

Vash The Stampede/Reader

WORD COUNT: 740

Synopsis: you encounter a strange man amidst the bar you lounge around. He gives you a job offer..

The usual thrum of boisterous customers fills the Afterlife, the staccato tapping of your nails against the counter is partly what keeps you sane. The buzzing of the overheard lights, drunkards wrapping their arms around unsuspecting individuals,

Yet here you were. Alone.

Bass boosts with boisterous fun, some small girl causing a racket in showcasing the newest chrome in exchange for excited jeers and cheers of some sleazy men she’d catch the attention of.

“..poor thing, you know?”

A man sits at the barstool beside you, blonde hair tinged to different shades under the colored lighting of the club. A royal blue, as of now. His eyelashes flutter as his head cocks over to the girl, his eyes trailing after your previous gaze.

“Eh”, you shrug, “It’s how things are. Surely, you should know that?” You can feel your voice edging further into a drawl, observing him more. Big red jacket, large collar. Pretty plain. He’s a relatively organic guy save for his bionic arm, the ports available at his neck standard with no crazy enhancers. “Or.. not.” Your eyebrows furrow at this revelation.

He chuckles at that, “Haha, maybe!” Hand moving to scratch the scruff of his neck, ruffling his undercut in practiced fidgeting. “..just, tryna start something.” His gaze drifted from the sad, lone cup he held and up to you once more, brandishing a look you couldn’t quite place.

Something’s off about him.

You aren’t sure what.

…you can’t quite place.

A stagnant pause fills the gap in your sad excuse of a conversation. Words didn’t hold much value here, that was a common fact. Business did. Missions did. Money did. Take action, not a lame deal or quirky promise.

“Something?” You turn to him more, his previously despondent, solemn gaze flickering once more. Mirroring the neon lights surrounding every which way of the bar, reflecting in its pulsing energy that filled Night City as a whole. He piques your curiosity. Despite his lack of chrome and rather.. not immature qualities, but something remains. No guns blazing machine gun, gone crazy potential cyber psycho- just a guy.

He perks up noticeably, continuing. “Yeah! Got a few pals, and we’ve heard some of your work is… good..?” He trails off once more, gauging you for a reaction.

A job offer. Your eyes blink, fingers drumming against your leg as you take it into consideration. Work had been running low for you recently and you probably needed the gig, and.. the guy didn’t seem to untrustworthy. His hair shone a slight red with the change in hue of the lights, sweet smile painting his lips as his warm eyes looked to you expectantly. “I know it’s a bit much, but we’ve been looking into you for a few weeks and.. yeah.” He ends awkwardly, clearing his throat and turning his gaze elsewhere momentarily.

Well, there’s nothing better for you,

“I may as well. Sure.” You extend a hand in a formality here- a handshake- a sign of trust, perhaps, as he eagerly takes your hand in his and beams with a sort of ecstatic expression that’s rare here.

Strange. But not.. not entirely unwelcome.

“Great to hear! I’ll see you here tomorrow..?” He fidgets with his hands once more, holding them up to explain himself further in a slight panic, “Ah- they’re not all here today. We gotta call a bit ahead of time sometimes for hanging out here.”

Mm. Fair enough.

In Night City, everything was constantly moving. A never ending, unpredictable and most definitely not merciful cycle of perpetual turmoil and terror that consumed every resident. Desensitized.

What you were to be called for? That was probably no different. You worked as a getaway driver for said operations, having installed a built in nav system for yourself thanks to your absolutely horrible sense of direction beforehand- it took some saving up and not so legal deeds, but who really cared about the law down here anyway? In order to truly survive a few rules had to be broken, and you never… truly harmed anyone. Directly, at least. You minded your business and clients minded theirs, teammates minded theirs. There was no need to pry, that much was a lesson to be had for anyone who question such.

“Details coming in tomorrow?” And eddies, hopefully, you thought to yourself.

He nodded, smile turning sheepish. “I’ll uh, I’ll leave you be for now.”

And then he excused himself once more.

Chapter 11: Cause I really Wanna Stay at Your House | TBW

Night city. Colorful. Neon lights everywhere you looked. But that's not what makes Night City. Not by a long shot. What makes it, are the people. 

Everyone around knows the hardships and the importance of a group. Be it a gang or friends. Doesn't matter. Find your found family and your set. 

Another thing that Night City is known for is its chromed out citizens. It's not for everyone, but those that can handle the consequences get all kinds of body mods. From new eyes to even iron lungs. This isn't for the faint-hearted. 

Especially the cyber psychos that show the dangers of what it does to your body. No one wants to die like that, but they do. Either from police, trauma team, or themselves. 

Night City also houses many legends amongst its streets. Legends that give hope for a better life. One without the slums and the corpo assholes that control everything. Everyone wants a taste of that high life.

But that high life doesn’t sit well once you have it. Legends have to die at some point. That’s how they become legends. Remembered forever amongst the next generation until another rises up and makes a bigger name. 

Among those very streets was a boy. He wasn't new to the troubles in the city. They were very clear to him. Didn't help with his background.

Corpo kid, Arasaka Academy Prodigy now drop out. There was a story. A story lost to the guns and crimes. Crimes he needed to commit to live. To survive.

No one could pry out his past from his lips. It was one of those open secrets. Details, not something anyone cared about. As long as you showed and completed your share of work, no one asked. 

He didn't mind. Made it easier to hide. Easier to run. Especially made it easier to work.

Being a merc was freeing. You were respected, feared even but there was power in it. Power that everyone craved. And he ran with the best. 

Edgerunners. Maine, Dorio, Sasha, Pilar, Rebecca, and Falco. The origins of them anyway. 

After a mission gone wrong, or rather a change of targets, Sasha died. Was it a noble death? Well the news she leaked was everywhere the next day, so maybe. 

Didn't make the hurt go away. Not for Y/n.

That's right. The aforementioned boy. His name was Y/n. But names don't matter. Most called him N/n anyway. Better handle. Didn't have the weight of the memories. 

Back to the edgerunners. Kiwi replaced Sasha. She was a good net runner, nothing compared to Y/n though. Rarely did he ever do runs but when he did, flawless didn't begin to cut it. 

Never does net running much. Reminds him too much of a past that he wanted to escape. That’s why he chose to be with Maine. Was like a father to him. Better than his actual dad. The edgerunners were a better family to him overall. 

His past is blurry to most, likes to keep it that way. No one in night city needs to know about it. Needs to know of his corpo connections and give him shit for it. That was. Until Kiwi brought Lucy

Lucy was Y/n’s saving grace. For some reason and miraculous luck, Y/n became Lucy’s best friend. Much like a lapdog to Lucy. It was an even more shock that she didn’t push him away. 

She knew Y/n way before. His records were in the Arasaka archives. Part of their big experiment to make the perfect weapon of net runner and muscle. Who else could take on the old net? Project was a bust though when Y/n ran away. Away from the pain and abuse that the person who was supposed to love him the most inflicted. 

Y/n decided to live with Lucy. Maine thought it was a good way to keep an eye on the newbie and gave Y/n a friend around his age. Thinking like a father. A father who cared. 

Over time Y/n and Lucy became like siblings. Opening up to each other was a huge feat in itself. In a place like Night City, that kind of trust is rare. Not like the other would spill it. Similar situations. Similar Traumas. Similar people being after them.  

That’s when the two started going on missions together. Y/n being the stubborn ass he is refused to ever go on missions alone. Not unless Lucy was there with him. The codependency. 

“God damn it Y/n! Why do you need Lucy for everything? Before she came you were independent. What changed?”

Maine only ever asked once. He regretted it. Never once did he see Y/n break down like he did after Maine yelled at him. He didn’t apologize though. It needed to be said. 

“I… I need her okay? Things are different now. She’s like me…”

Maine only sighed. Desperation. Rare, especially in a boy like Y/n. He understood though. Nothing more was said. Only a pat on a head and silence. 

Y/n never stopped being clingy with Lucy, but it got better. Just a tad. Y/n was able to go on his own missions. Though it was out of fear of disappointing everyone else. He couldn’t handle that. He couldn’t handle their rejection. 

A year was all it took for Y/n and Lucy to become inseparable. It was concerning how connected the two became. You don’t get that kind of connection here. Not without tragedy. 

“I want to go to the moon.”

Lucy shared one night. The two were on a roof together. Artificial pizza was placed between them. 

“The moon? Why? There’s not much up there.” 

Lucy didn’t respond. She couldn’t explain it to him. She couldn’t tell Y/n how she wanted to leave. It would break his heart. But what are broken hearts if your dreams get shattered? Emotions were useless in this world. Being soft gets you nowhere. 

“Come with me.”

A compromise. If she couldn’t tell him why then at least she can show him. She can take him with her. Protecting him from Night City and everyone else around them. Only a pipe dream.

“Huh?”

Y/n was more than caught off guard by the sudden invitation. Was it even one? By the sounds of it, it sounded more like desperation. Lucy never showed desperation 

“When we get enough, come to the moon with me.”

The thought further intrigued Y/n. He didn't understand this need. Was Lucy telling him she wanted him? She willingly wanted him around?

“Okay. I make it my promise! We’ll go to the moon together! You can show me what’s so great about it!”

Lucy could only let out a light hearted scoff at Y/n's softness. This boy. He didn't know much about the world. How could he when he was so sheltered?

“I could show you now.”

“Really!?”

That excitement. Something that Lucy never could get used to. Y/n was a rare individual. Someone who showed his rare and raw emotions. 

“Yeah you gonk. BDs remember?” 

That night, the moment the two of them got home, they spent hours on the special moon BD Lucy had. It was amazing. Seeing something different, a place where corpos didn’t rule yet was refreshing. Going around the craters and the moon buggy, all of it was hope inducing. A world where no one can control you. 

As the year went on, Lucy and Y/n only ever became closer. The sibling duo among the group, apart from Pilar and Rebecca. Nothing could bring Y/n away from Lucy. Maine joked about him being Lucy’s guard dog. Whenever Pilar was weird with Lucy, Y/n was right behind, biting and clawing at the guy. 

Had to have the others break up the fight before Y/n actually killed Pilar. Rebecca couldn’t help laughing at her older brother’s demise. Deserved it anyway. Not shortly after did the group go to Afterlife for some drinks.  Lucy took this chance of inebriation to speak with Y/n privately.

“Why did you do that?”

“Do what?” Lucy’s threshold for annoyances was being pushed. Either Y/n was playing dumb or drank too much to even think properly. Either way she needed a clear answer. 

“Attack Pilar.”

“He was making you uncomfortable.”

“I could have taken care of it myself.”

Lucy huffed out a breath. She didn’t like being treated like she was helpless. Whether Y/n meant it or not, it was really troublesome and irritating. He hovered over her. She didn’t quite understand why. 

“I know…”

“Then why?”

The pause. It was deafening despite the music playing around them. 

“I… You’re so amazing and you gave me so much even with knowing me for a short time. You’re like my family Lucy. More so than Maine and Dorio and everyone else. You’re my sister. Someone who knows my struggles on a personal level. I owe you so much. I want to protect you.”

Eyes widened at the admission. God Y/n really was an idiot. 

“You don’t have to repay me for anything.”

“I do though.”

“You don’t!”

It was a cycle of ‘I dos’ and ‘don’ts’ until Y/n started to tear up. God did Lucy make him feel so vulnerable. ‘

“I do! Because if I don’t I’ll turn around and you won't be there anymore. One day I’ll wake up and you won’t be there. You don’t realize how much I need you in my life! I have no one else!”

Guilt. The god damn guilt. Y/n’s tears fought hard not to be released but it was a war lost. Gleaming droplets cascaded down Y/n’s cheeks, making the boy look like a child. No one could ever stay mad at him.

In this moment of vulnerability, Lucy wrapped her arms around Y/n. She decided against speaking. No more words needed to be shared. Y/n didn’t need to be upset further. Only Lucy saw these tears. Weakness didn’t need to be shared with peering eyes. 

A few more instances happen where Y/n went feral when something happened to Lucy. No one could ever stop him and neither did they really care. As long as the job got done then why did it matter?

It did help with disputes and fights. Y/n being the main muscle with Maine. Taking care of all the fist related business together. Now, no one was lacking in muscle within the crew but Y/n almost had Maine beat with the power of his punch. 

A few more months passed. Time never mastered though. Both Lucy and Y/n were out and about. They ended up in Corpo Plaza. A place Y/n never liked, not just because of the name but because of the people around and the worst building that stood tall. Arasaka Tower. If capitalism could be personified, it would be Arasaka Tower. 

The two had planned to do some odd jobs around the area, maybe pick some sockets or something. Anything to keep them busy and make money. Y/n stood with Lucy while she smoked. He never participated in it himself. The habit reminded him too much of someone. But when Lucy did it, he couldn’t help but want to be around. 

While Y/n’s eyes watched the smoke plume around the already suffocating atmosphere, he couldn’t help but see how much Lucy stood out. Compared to everyone else around them, Lucy could be seen from everywhere. It was the hair. 

Y/n blinked a few times. He thought he was tripping but he didn’t remember taking anything before. Lucy's hair sparkled. What was this?

He wasn’t the only one who noticed. 

Y/n’s eyes trailed over and noticed a boy looking at the back of Y/n’s head. He looked familiar. Y/n was snapped out of his thoughts when he heard the voice that soothed him over and over. 

“What are you staring at?”

Y/n froze. Lips nursing as if he was caught doing something wrong. What made it more anxiety inducing was Lucy didn’t even look at Y/n. 

“Nothing. Thought I saw something.”

“You're a bad liar, Y/n.”

Y/n didn’t respond. He just glanced over to see the boy that had been staring was gone. 

“What are we doing here anyway?”

“We have a job to do. Maine wanted us to keep busy.”

Y/n the ever obedient personification of a puppy nodded along and followed Lucy. Doing everything he was told. An old habit. A habit hated himself for. He hated him for. 

The day was spent with the two of them working to bring in eddies. That night had a full moon, which led to Y/n dragging Lucy to the badlands to watch the moon. It was calm and quiet. Something that could be seen as off putting, but it wasn’t.

It was… nice.

“Why’d you bring me here?” “Wanted to look at the moon with you. It’s clearer out here. I found this spot when I was driving around with Maine.”

Lucy felt so happy that Y/n took her fascination with the moon seriously. Many would think it was stupid to want to go somewhere that failed. But it wasn’t that to Lcuy, and it certainly wasn’t to Y/n. 

Y/n would defend Lucy’s dreams till the day he died. And even then he would keep defending her. 

No more words were exchanged. Only silence and the distant sounds of cars every now and then on the dirt road.  Moments like these under the moonlight were never taken for granted. 

Here was where Y/n belonged. His purpose. His family.

Could you do a Rebecca x female reader pls?

Rebecca w/ a fem s/o

chars. rebecca w⚠️. fem!reader, cuteness, guns genre. fluff, headcanon wc.  470+ note. i'm back. i'm gonna attempt to try and finish what other requests I have hopefully. Also, apologies about the way I write in this, it seems have change eheh..

Absolutely adores you.

Is super clingy and basically around you 24/7. She's always curious about what you're doing sometimes too. Never lets you do anything by yourself. Unless you tell her to stop ofc. It's not because she constantly wants to be around you (it kinda is), but she's also worried about you. She knows what can happen in NC and would hate for you to become another statistic.

I'm sure if you at least reassured her every now and then and contact her if you're away, she'll probably lay off a little bit. I'd say it's more of a phase thing. If something happens when your close, she goes back to being protective of you, then you talk to her about it and rinse and repeat.

If you're a fellow edgerunner though, I think it'd decrease a good 15%.

Dates are quite the must. Especially movie nights. I don't think she'd be the kind to say no to dining out (usually at fast food chains) or anything like that.

Of course, it's not only Rebecca that you'll be around most of the time, it's also most likely gonna be Pilar too.

I'm sure if you complain about his attitude or anything to Rebecca, she'll put him in line. Probably with a gun (Threatening ofc, not killing him).

She's a very playful person don't be surprised if she randomly pokes you, yells tag, and runs off.

Or maybe even a game of hide and seek here and there. She gets into the most difficult spots due to her small stature. It's very surprising what she can fit into sometimes.

Definitely steals your clothes. She always looks tiny in them, and it really is too cute.

She's quite the jealous person. Make sure you don't give someone else a bit too much attention, she may or may not give you 10 minutes of silent treatment if she feels you've "ignored her" for a bit too long.

It's obviously not gonna last too long since she struggles to even go a second without any of your attention.

When your safety is threatened, she can get fairly serious (but in a way still her crazy self). It's almost scary.

Will go to the ends of the earth to make sure you're protected as it shows above.

Loves gifts plenty. Whether it's receiving or giving. Anything you give her, she cherishes a lot and would get super upset if it ever got lost or broken. Anything she gives you, (is most likely stolen) are quite expensive things, you tend to take extra care to make sure nothing happens.

Probably has a habit of touching you in affectionate ways, either by playing with your clothes, hair, or ears.

She also kisses you. Like. A lot. Almost impossible to go a full day without getting kissed by her somehow.
