#flame chaser eden x reader

[hutaoscoffinn]

I am certainly in a phase involving a rich drunk flamechaser:

Can I get some nsfw headcanons for eden with sub! fem! Reader?

OMG AT THIS RATE IMA GET REQUESTS FOR ALL OF THE OF AGE FLAMECHASERS AND I LOVE THIS SO MUCH AHHHHH omgomgomg YES you can get those headcanons coming right up

Warnings: afab reader, submissive reader, NSFW, mirror sex, clothed sex, thigh riding, dominant eden, loving sex, sapphic content, sapphic smut, 18+, vanilla sex

Character: Eden

Requests: OPEN

Sex with Eden is lazy and slow but oh so loving

Eden loves to take her time with you, working your body up nice and slow so that by the time she is ready to move past the teasing you’re nice and wet for her, your slick making a mess between your thighs

What might come as a surprise is that Eden is actually quite vanilla when it comes to her preferred methods of pleasuring you

Eden has beautiful hands and she loves to use those hands to bring you as much pleasure as she can, sinking her slender fingers into you knuckle deep

Her favourite way to pleasure you is to have you seated on her lap, one of her hands toying with your breasts or resting loosely around your neck as the other is toying with your clit and or fingering you

The way she pleasures you is slow and steady

Unlike some of the other flameschasers that prefer fast and rough sex, Eden prefers to go slow and gentle in order to press against every sweet spot in or on your body to bring you to the most satisfying orgasms she can possibly gift you

Despite how slow the sex can be with her, that does not mean it is any less satisfying

If anything, it’s more satisfying

Eden takes her time with you, showing you how much she loves you and always making sure that both of you feel comfortable

Eden is very affectionate during sex, constant praises leaving her lips when those same lips are not occupied with kissing across your body and littering loving marks all over your skin

She is also very vocal when you pleasure her, which is almost to be expected of her considering her occupation as a vocalist and one of the best of her time

Her moans sound like a siren’s song, one that has you entranced and addicted to her even more so than you already were

Everything about Eden is sexy and enticing

You are addicted to her and her touch and she is just as addicted to you and helping you feel all of her sweet love through heated touches

Eden loves seeing your face during sex, watching your expressions to drink in every single reaction that you have to her and her touch, so any position that allows her to do this is immediately a favourite of hers

However, her all time favourite position is actually you seated on her lap, her chest pressed against your back

But, when she does indulge in this specific position, she prefers when a mirror is involved

While Eden may be more vanilla than the others, she adores mirror sex

One of her favourite things is to make you watch yourself as she pleasures you, forcing your eyes to stay on your slick core as she teases you, whispering in your ear in a sultry voice about how wet you are, about the mess you are making on her lap

She absolutely adores how flustered you get during this, your face warming as you squirm in her lap while she teases you endlessly, her lips on your neck working down along your shoulders as her golden eyes are pinned on yours through your reflection in the mirror

Eden is also a fan of clothed sex, specifically her still wearing clothes while you are wearing none or close to none

She especially loves this type of sex when it is taking place on her lap so that she can tease you about how you are making a mess, your juices soaking through her skirt and tights or pants as she torments you

Bonus points if this clothed sex involves thigh riding

Eden has beautiful long legs and has had many a fantasy of you grinding your pretty pussy all over her clothed thighs while she grabs at your body, fingers running along your thighs and ass

The first time she finally got to fulfill this fantasy she was immediately hooked and now thigh riding takes place at least once a week with her, usually more

She just loves to watch you grind all over her thigh, your legs quivering as you get close to cumming for her while she kisses your lips sloppily, sucking on your tongue as you reach your peak

Eden thinks the messes you make all over her thighs are beautiful but someone still has to clean up those messes along with the slick that has accumulated between her own thighs, so you had better get on your knees and help her out

-`♡´- kisses + the 13 flame-chasers

summary: what it says on the tin!

tags: flame-chasers x gn!reader, griseo's is platonic of course, fluff, lots of kissies.

i. kevin kaslana

kevin’s last try at love had left him unable to touch anything living, his body now colder than ice. he craves the contact he once was able to give and receive freely, but to sacrifice his own body in pursuit of the MOTH’s goals was something he was more than willing to do. but even the icy-hearted first flame chaser has his moments of weakness. in those moments he’ll grab your tie, or the end of your skirt and bring it up to his lips, inhaling the scent he was never close enough to know, and wonder how warm your skin felt underneath.

ii. elysia

elysia adores everything about you, and she wants you to know how much you are loved every moment she is with you. she places kisses to any place she can reach, but more than that she loves watching your reactions. so human, so beautiful. it’s not rare to end up with her rosy gloss all over you.

iii. aponia

aponia likes listening to you breathe. underneath a tree in the tall grass, your head in her lap. it’s one of the few times she feels she can live in the present. the future is the farthest thing from her mind as she leans down and places a kiss to your forehead, telling you to go to sleep. she doesn’t command you to do it so, but with her soft humming, you soon drift off. aponia kisses your eyelids, then, and prays for your dreams to be pleasant.

iv. eden

her lips taste of the finest wine; how could you not get intoxicated after kissing her? the high of eden’s performance doesn’t wear off for hours, and she loves to perch you up on her vanity and kiss you until she’s satisfied… and eden is hard to satiate. out of all the endless riches she has amassed, you are her favorite treasure of all.

v. vill-v

the great magician loves to woo you with her performances. look down into their hat and when you see nothing inside, she’ll tilt your chin up and give you a quick peck.

the expert likes to ramble off her ideas for projects — you’re the only one allowed in their lab. it’s not often they get excited about things, but with you there she finds that old passion for inventing return in spades. when you aren’t looking, she’ll place a lingering kiss to your temple, whispering out her thanks.

vill-v loves you wholly, with every part of themself.

vi. kalpas

you’re one of the few who has gotten to see under kalpas’s mask. his skin is fair, sunken pale eyes tired and angry. it’s the first time he lets you see underneath that you finally get to kiss him. his teeth are bared, and he threatens to kill you for standing so close. but when your lips touch his own, all feigned malice melts away, and he pulls you into him hard.

vii. su

his kisses are featherlight, as soft as a summer breeze. as busy as he is with his work, he will always find pockets of time to spend with you. even if it’s just as small as kissing your cheek before he leaves for work, he will remember your loving eyes, the way the morning light made your skin glow, your small smile… yes, this is one memory that will follow him forevermore.

viii. SAKURA

SAKURA always looks for you after battles. she is covered in bruises and cuts that will leave ugly scars later, but she needs to know you’re okay; that the one person left that she loves is still there. she ushers you someplace quiet and hums, a familiar song that she once sang to RIN and patches you up. you tell her of an old superstition that you once heard, and she takes it to heart. SAKURA doesn’t let you go until she’s placed her lips against every future scar, promising you that next time, she’ll keep you safe.

ix. kosma

try as he might, he will never be able to figure out what you’re thinking. when you reassure him that you like him, he wonders if you mean in a way that he can sit close to you. it’s easier show him what’s on your mind, tilt his chin up and plant a sweet kiss to his lips. kosma will think about your touch for a long time, one hand touching his lips and the other balled into his tunic. he hopes you’ll kiss him again and again.

x. mobius

mobius tastes sickeningly sweet, you sometimes wonder if her lipstick is laced with poison. when mobius kisses you, it is needy, her lips moving hard and fast against your own, pressing you against her lab table. when she pulls back, you’re seeing stars, and she grins at you like a predator. you can’t help but think if this is where you die, it wouldn’t be so bad.

xi. griseo

mama aponia tells griseo that kisses are reserved for people she loves. and so she gives mama aponia a kiss on the cheek before she goes to look for inspiration. today, you are her muse, and you sit for hours as she paints every color that she sees in you; each one unique to you. once you’re done, she tugs your sleeve and tells you to come look. you tell her it’s beautiful, and she kisses you on the cheeks as thanks.

xii. fu hua

hua fights with her fists, and so the bruises left on her knuckles are forever rosy, never allowed to fully heal. when she spars with you, she never goes easy, and you’re face down in the dirt after only one round. she notices the deep purple of fresh bruises on your hands, and places a kiss to each one, praising you for trying so hard.

xiii. pardofelis

pardo loves all things shiny, but she’s found she doesn’t mind being paid in kisses from time to time. she purrs as you take her cheeks into your hands, kissing her all over the face. felis can’t help but laugh at the way it tickles, falling forward into your lap and nuzzling into your neck.

An Engineer's Dream

Your Dreams

A Kalpas x Reader angst fic, chapter 6, the saddest chapter, below!

For someone who only said ‘sure’ to dating, Kalpas really seemed to enjoy holding you. Holding your hand, holding you in his lap, carrying you around—both over his shoulder and in his arms. Very quickly, you learned that you weigh around two pounds to the man, and if he wants to hold you (which was more often than to) he will be holding you.

As you grew more comfortable around each other, physical affection remained a constant. At first it was because he was incredibly loyal to you, and if he was going to spend time with you, he may as well get a hug out of it. Now it was something he practically craves—not that you’re any better. His hugs were warm and at first you thought it was funny, but now that warmth is a comfort that never fails to make you feel safe.

Helixcraft still didn’t have working projectors, though not for lack of trying. Each time you’d start, Kalpas would convince you otherwise. Sometimes it was because he persuaded you to sit with him for another five minutes which turned into an hour-long nap. Other times, you really needed to get work done, and you knew that if he could, he would follow you into the shop when he got bored and pull you out to watch him fight.

It was actually Hua who eventually convinced you to fix the shop. She seemed to know less about the Elysian Realm than you did; her memories had all been stored separately from her sim and hadn’t been cleaned up yet. You would miss the safe haven, but having company while you worked was nice, and meeting someone else who fought with their fits (Kalpas didn’t count, fire is cheating) made you happy.

In fact, the pair of gauntlets you made here were the first project you completed in the Realm that was actually making something and not just repairing someone else’s work. Hua was the only one you let in the shop for a while, and surprisingly, everyone respected that rule. You later found out that only Kalpas really followed it, he just enforced it on the others; not even Sakura was allowed past him.

When Pardofelis entered the Realm, she was initially scared of you. She would follow you as you worked, but you never once saw her. If you mentioned needing anything you would find it on your workbench when you came back. Even if it was something you were certain couldn’t be found in the Realm, within twenty-four hours it would be there waiting for you.  Since you couldn’t thank her personally, you resorted to shouting ‘thank you’ to the empty room and hoping she heard.

For weeks, that’s just how things went. Eden would slip you something worth an obscene amount of money, you would loudly make a request and leave the trinket where Pardo could get it, and come morning, whatever you needed was there and the payment was gone. As far as you were concerned, this system worked fine. So when Kalpas came in to talk while you worked, you didn’t even notice the eyes on you both. Unfortunately, he did.

“There are only a few things left before everything’s fixed, but—” you cut yourself off, “where are you going?” Following his swift movement across the room, you watched as Kalpas stopped in front of a random table and stood there for a few seconds. Suddenly he lunged forward, and you heard papers crumple, tools fall to the ground, several shouts, a literal cat howl, and then more shouting. After what sounded like a crash you’d hear in a cartoon, Kalpas stood, looking triumphant while holding Pardo in the air under her armpits.

The poor girl was spewing apologies and promises never to steal again while her cat was tugging at the hem of the offending Flame Chaser’s pants. Neither tactic seemed to sway him into letting her go, and Pardo was nearly in tears by the time you convinced him to put her back on the ground.

“It was nice meeting you!” you called after her as she ran to some unknown part of the Realm. It wasn’t until Griseo showed up that you saw her again. Kosma had appeared the same day and made it clear that you were dead if you so much as sneezed around Griseo. She wasn’t allowed in Helixcraft (it wasn’t safe for children, even if she technically is fifty thousand years old) so you only saw here in the lounge. Often times, if she was out there and not hiding deep inside the Realm, Pardo was the one watching her.

Occasionally it was Mobius or Eden, and once or twice it was Su. Without realizing it, it became second nature to pick up Can when he was about to walk across wet paint; just like it became second nature to gossip in the lounge with Eden or talk about weapons with Hua and Sakura. Aponia wouldn’t tell you where she had been, but soon she was joining you on the couch, offering her lap for you to rest your head after a long day, or softly touching your cheek as though you were a long-lost friend.

When all the other Flame Chasers appeared, they were just suddenly there. Nothing changed and they all acted like this was a normal thing to have happen. Vill-V on the other hand…

You spent weeks rinsing all the glitter out of your hair, and if Mobius hadn’t complained about the performance being too loud, you would be re-repairing half the work you’d done. After the dust settled, however, you found Vill-V to be a genius in Helixcraft and working with her was a dream—even if you did have to deal with her antics every week. Between the two of you, the Elysian Realm was back to one hundred percent in no time. More than that, you added new areas (because someone kept bugging you) and put in new systems to help maintenance now that Klein was gone. Everything was in place, the only thing that was missing was the hall’s namesake.

Elysia was somehow more flamboyant and much less interested in killing you than Vill-V. That being said, not wanting you dead and having your best interests at heart were two very different things, and you found it hard to trust the girl. A man who lived for destruction and threatened to kill you no less than twice a day was easier for you to trust than a girl who only seemed interested in her appearance.

But you knew that it was that appearance that fooled others into forgetting why she was ranked as the second strongest of the Flame Chasers. All the others had told you plenty about Elysia, so you recognized her instantly, and you also had plenty of time to piece things together and figure out who she really was. Judging someone before you met them hardly seemed fair, so when you spoke with her for the first time, you were wary but not outright dismissive of her. Yet no amount of caution could keep you safe from her questioning.

Despite being openly affectionate towards you, Kalpas was tight lipped when it came to telling Elysia about your relationship. Very quickly, you understood why. Every little tidbit you gave her circulated through the other Flame Chasers within the day—and that’s if it wasn’t just instantly repeated though a loudspeaker she seemed to carry around at all times. The words she spread weren’t anything too bad, but you could hear Kalpas yelling for her to shut up from the other side of the Realm. It took you much longer to warm up to her, the constant teasing getting on your nerves, but eventually you were greeting Elysia with a smile instead of a scowl.

“I should probably head out,” you sighed while stretching, and Vill-V gave you a solemn hum in understanding, not looking up from her work. The Expert didn’t enjoy talking to you much, but you both held a great deal of respect for each other and your work. Knowing you wouldn’t get much more of a response from her, you put your tools away and heading out of Helixcraft. Like clockwork Kalpas was leaning against the railing of the stairs waiting for you to say good night.

Standing on the next to last step, you were still taller than him, which you regularly took advantage of to place a kiss on the top of his head. Kalpas would scoff and grumble about it like it was horribly embarrassing, but the one day you hadn’t done it, he held onto your hand and pulled you back up the stairs. Tonight, he had no problems getting his kiss, and you jumped down the last few steps afterwards to give him a hug before waving on your way to the door.

“Have a good night! I’ll see you tomorrow!” Kalpas didn’t wave back—Eden and Elysia eagerly did so—but you knew he was hiding a smile under his mask.

The next day, you came back, and for once, all thirteen Flame Chasers were in the same room. For once, you got to see under that mask. Just that once, everything was perfect. And you didn’t question it; why would you? It was the perfect dream. You had everyone you’d grown close to, and plenty of time to spend with them, or you could spend entire days in the shop with everything you’d ever need. Never mind the made-up materials or the fact that Kevin was being nice. This was how things were meant to be.

Right?

In the Elysian Realm, Kalpas waited.

He swore, and he waited.

That’s all he could do. You’d said you would come back. You said you would see him tomorrow. So where the hell were you?

 The realm seemed lifeless without your presence. It looked like a wasteland when he was through with it. The others stopped coming out—what was the point? There was on successor to talk to. You were gone. And Kalpas waited.

“I heard everything had been fixed. This isn’t what I expected for ‘fixed.’”

“Herrscher,” Kalpas spat the word out like it was poison in his mouth. “Get out.”

“I came to see Elysia,” Mei didn’t move. For several seconds, the only thing that changed was the rise in temperature. Eventually, Elysia did appear, if only to keep the place from being set ablaze.

“Can we have a minute?” Mei asked, though she left no room for argument. Kalpas scoffed, but he still stood from the tipped over table he’d been leaning against and left the two. Once out of earshot, the girl spoke again. “How much do you know about what happened.”

Elysia gave a hum as though in thought, but her teasing smile made it obvious she wasn’t going to answer. “Project Stigma was activated,” Mei started with a sigh. Looking down at the ground she continued. “My friends and I…we were able to trap the Will of Honkai on the moon, but some people had already been placed in World Serpent’s ‘dream.’”

“A never-ending dream? Doesn’t that sound wonderfully romantic?” Elysia grinned up at Mei who only raised her head to frown at the words.

“We can’t get people out of this dream state. That’s how they’ll live the rest of their lives. I only came down here because someone was dreaming about this place.” Mei’s grip on her sword tightened. “Whether you tell Kalpas or not is up to you, but I thought you should know. They’re not coming back.”

The Elysian Realm was designed to last millennia without power. Even with World Serpent out of the picture, the Elysian Realm remained. You’d done a good job fixing it.

Kalpas almost wishes you hadn’t.

Because now he has to spend every day looking at your work. He has to be reminded that you’re gone and he’s here. Every day. You’re not even that far. A few meters up and he’d be able to reach you. But you wouldn’t know. You wouldn’t wake up. This wasn’t Sleeping Beauty; he couldn’t just kiss you and make things better.

He hoped your dream at least was good.  That you were blissfully unaware of the fact that you were repeating the same day over and over again. He hoped you dreamed about him. He sure as hell dreamt about you. That you were still here, fixing some mundane part or laughing at Elysia’s antics. Maybe he’d find you back in the shop speaking to Hua, or in the lounge listening to Su. But you weren’t. And you never would be. Because you were gone.

Thank you so much for reading! Sorry for the atrocious amount of line breaks, but I hope you enjoyed the story, and I love you all, but I hope you're in tears <3

[schediastis]

hey <3 i was wondering if you're still taking requests so i wondered if i could request an elysia x reader, just some sweet headcanons about how they interact with each other :D tysm and have a nice day/night <33

[H] Elysia x GN! Reader: interaction headcanon.

[FLUFF.]

As Elysia heard there's a new visitor, she's quickly introduced herself.

However, when Elysia notices that you're wary of her. That's okay! At least, both of you are getting to know each other by little.

However, as time passed. Elysia managed to befriended with you. Of course, getting your trust wasn't an easy task for her.

In the lounge, Elysia would talk about random things or any topics that related to you! If one of ths topic pipes your interest, Elysia would be very happy to tell them to you.

In return, you would talk about new inventions from outside. Of course, Elysia would be happy to tried out or see some new inventions that you mention!

Whenever you're alone in the lounge, doing your thing. Elysia would come by you without any warning and see what you're doing.

Elysia would tell stories to you about everything, like one time that Pardofelis's tail was almost burn to ashes. Yeah, that.

She might give you the sapphire gem that she got from Eden when she was drunk. Who knows?

Elysia would be happy to recommend some fashion clothes for you to wear.

When Elysia sees you came back from the battleground, injured. Elysia would be worried and retreat your wounds. However, while retreating your wounds -- she would scold you for being careless.

Elysia would take a lovely stroll around the Elysium Everlasting city with you, chatting about the silliest things.

Elysia likes to tried out new things with you. Having a nice dinner while watching the sunset? That would be really romantic.

Whenever one of the Flame-chasers ask both of you about what you're doing during your dinner, Elysia was quick to accept the fact that both of you're on a date.

Elysia would be really competitive when both of you're playing game in the Amusement Park!

So, in conclusion -- Elysia and your relationship is bit complicated, but both of you are best friends. However, there's some people thinking both of you are dating. Elysia would encouraging them more if they ask anything about you and her..

Raiden Mei x Child! Reader

Summary: You are the little sister of Kevin Kaslana, and you were looking for something to eat. But you came across to someone who offered to cook for you.

Second POV:

*Rumble*

You heard your stomach rumbling and begging for food, you sigh and walk around the Elysian Realm to find some food to eat. You're Y/n, the little sister of Kevin Kaslana, You are part of the Flame-chasers and the youngest in the group other than Griseo.

As you walk around you accidentally bump into someone, and It's the new visitor and a Herrscher, Raiden Mei. You tremble in fear seeing her, you quickly bow your head and immediately apologize to her:

"I'm sorry Miss Raiden! I wasn't looking where I was going, I won't bump into you again!"

"Please don't apologize, it was my fault for not looking." Mei assured the young child that it was her fault.

'She's still afraid of me...'  Mei thought, as she looks at you.

She remembers meeting you, not to long, her first encountering you is when you were by the lounge with Elysia and Eden. Those two are pretty much spoiling you with gifts and gushing how adorable you are. Elysia was the one who spotted Mei and called her to come here.

"Mei, just in time! Let me introduce you to our cute little Y/n here !" Elysia said, as she pushes you in front of Mei.

When you look at her you were already terrified meeting her because, one she's a Herrscher  and you know about Herrschers since you knew what happened to your best friend Rin. Two, she looks scary.

"My n-name is Y/n, M-Miss Herrscher..." You stutter, and avoid making eye contact on Mei.

"I'm Raiden Mei, but you can call me Mei if you want to." Mei said.

"I think I heard my big brother is calling for me. Goodbye, Miss Raiden." You quickly left the room as fast as you can.

"I think she's afraid of me..." Mei said, as she looks at the direction where you left.

"Don't worry about it Mei, she's just shy meeting you." Eden said.

"I think I'm intimidating to scare her off." Mei sweatdrop.

"Y/n will get along with you sooner. Ahh~ I remember that time how I met little Y/n, she told me how pretty I am." Elysia reminisce the past. "But I still can't believe she's related to Kevin."

"Kevin is Y/n's big brother?!" Mei looks surprised upon hearing what Elysia said.

"That's right! She's even part of the MANTIS. If you want to get along with Y/n, you have to gain her trust on you."

Mei clearly remembers her conversation with Elysia and Eden that day.  She tried to approach you but no vail, since you avoided her whenever she walks by. But here's her chance to redeem herself in front of you, Mei notice you that you were alone.

"Why are you here alone? Don't you have someone with you right now?" Mei asked.

*Rumble*

You blush in embarrassment of hearing your stomach growling in front of a Herrscher. "I'm sorry about that, I'm just going to go-"

"Wait! I can cook for you if you want?" Mei offered you.

"Really?" You ask, you were a bit hesitant to accept her offer. But you don't want Kevin to give you cup noodles as he usually does, you were sick of eating it all day.

"Fine, I accept your offer. Just because I don't have to eat noodles what my big brother gives me." You said.

Mei sweatdrop about what you said. 'So the rumors were true about Kevin's obsession on noodles...'

You and Mei went to the kitchen, as Mei went to get ingredients inside the refrigerator and started cooking.

As for you, you sat at the kitchen stool observing Mei's cooking. You were a bit sleepy at watching her, you decided to take a small nap.

"Y/n, the food is ready~"

"Dr. MEI...?" You mumble, as you opened your eyes to see Mei placing the food on the counter in front of you.

"What's this?" You ask, observing the food in front of you.

"This is called Tempura." Mei answers your question.

"Tempura..." You took a small bit and swallowed it.

Your eyes suddenly sparkles after tasting the Tempura that Mei cook for you. Mei was glad to see you enjoy of her cooking, she smiles at you, reminding her of Kiana. As you finished eating with your food, you took a nap because how full you are.

Mei took the plate from you and started washing it and the utensils that she used. After washing them, Mei carried you while you were sleeping and send give you back to Kevin. While she was carrying, she notice that you were snuggling her and said:

"Thank you for the food, big sis Mei. I hope we can meet again." You said in a sleepy tone and went back to sleep.

Mei smiles at what you said and you called her big sister. She gently strokes your hair and said:

"Goodnight, little one."

[kalpasio]

HELLO HI i just wanted to ask, do you also write for other flamechasers? like, e.g. eden x reader? or do you only write for kalpas?

HIIII!!! I know I still have my request set to "kalpas" but have also definitely taken a request for other characters though I'm not sure how it'll go

basically, yes I would love to write for other flame chasers, but it might be kinda eh because I haven't spent 16 hours memorizing their wiki page lmao

I think I'm still only gonna write x reader but if you wanted to request multiple characters x reader or like a poly ship the Kalpas/reader/Emile thoughts never end I would be fine with that!

just also know that my request list is going to take me a couple of months to get through at this point so it might be a while! if you want an Eden x reader or something else just send me another ask so I remember!

In Which Kalpas Confronts Himself, And You Hear The Sweetest Song

A Kalpas x reader fic crossposted on my ao3

Last chapter was sad, this is also sad. There is not much description but the reader does die in this chapter. It's short and was the original ending I wrote before deciding ti was too sad. You can honestly skip this chapter, next one is much happier.

Chapter 12 below!

For a while after the twelfth Herrscher, you would spend nights sleeping in Kalpas’ bed to keep your sanity. In his room, he had kept the disposable patches you used when testing his battlesuit on top of the dresser; they had been a gift from you, he said.

He said the same thing about the extra shirt that stayed in his closet; the original shirt for his battlesuit that was ‘too fireproof.’

You never spoke about the obvious emotions you held for one another. You never held hands, or kissed, or even got close to having sex. The two of you simply found comfort in each other that couldn’t be found anywhere else.

It stopped when the world truly ended.

When the thirteenth Herrscher came, you knew it was over. There were enough cryopods for some, but you knew you weren’t one of them. You didn’t even get to say goodbye when it all happened.

The endless waves of Honkai beasts were weak, but you could only fight for so long. Once you heard Dr. Mei’s voice saying that the cryopods had been launched, you gave up.

Eden was out there, but there was no way for you to get to her. You couldn’t even make it out of your workshop. Kalpas and the other Flame Chasers had made it on the ship and that’s all that mattered. As you laid on the ground, slowly being taken over by your wounds and the Honkai, you heard Eden’s voice.

Closing your eyes, you focused on your breathing and her singing. Not the pain you felt, or the red lines you could feel crisscrossing their way up your body.

You had never heard Eden sing before. You were glad you got to for those few seconds before everything faded.

Far in the future, the flame chasers were able to return to the Earth, though it brought painful memories. Somewhere deep in the Elysian Realm, Kalpas stood with his back to his sim. Tears turned to steam before they could roll down his cheeks, but neither of them commented on it.

“You lost her,” the sim finally spoke.

There was no response.

They both stood in silence, though whether it was in mourning or rage, only they knew.

“You better not do the same,” Kalpas spoke to his sim, “I’ll come beat the shit out of you.”

“Oh?” the sim chuckled. “I expect nothing less.”

402 words several tears Like I said before, this was the original ending I wrote, it was tacked on to the end of the last chapter and I have no clue what possessed me to write this because it is like WAY too sad for me. If I read this ending I would leave really unsatisfied and kinda upset. I hate reading angst but apparently I really like writing it.

Sengo Soulmate

Hua

A Kalpas x reader Soulmate AU, chapter 4 below!

When you met with Hua again, she immediately noticed the change in your demeanor. She didn’t comment on it, even though you were more distracted than usual. Switching from meditation to fighting gave her the opening to ask, and she took it.

 While you had been expecting some chastising for being distracted like a stern “is there something you need to tell me?” she just asked, “are you ok?” The answer was ‘no’ but she settled for a hesitant, “there’s just a lot on my mind.” After you nearly got crushed by a mech because you were so distracted, she called it a day.

“You don’t need to tell me, but clearly whatever is on your mind is keeping you from focusing.” As soon as the words left her mouth, you felt like you had let Hua down. She spent so little time on base, and here you were squandering it.

“I promise I’ll—”

“Let’s just stop for now,” she spoke as patiently as ever with a reassuring smile. “We can try again at another time.”

“No! I—I’ll get it. I can’t let myself get distracted like this on the battlefield, let me keep going. I won’t waste anymore of your time!” You were frustrated at yourself for getting so distracted when you were being given an opportunity few others got. Going home now would feel like you personally failed Hua and would only make you feel worse.

Hua gave you a gentle smile and sat down, gesturing for you to join her. Running a hand through your hair, you sat down across from Hua like you both were about to start meditating again. Surprisingly, just sitting with her like this helped calm you down.

“I would not be here if I did not want to be. I’m happy to be teaching you, and you’re right. There are times you need to push through mental roadblocks and stay focused, but this is not one of them. You have the time now to regroup and properly sort through your thoughts, you should take it. Whether you’d like to be alone or talk through your problems with me, I will be here.”

“I just—” you cut yourself off with a long sigh that turned into a huff as you tried to process your thoughts. “I might have found my soulmate…”

“That is a big change.” Hua sounded a little patronizing, but you couldn’t be bothered by it at that moment.

“I just don’t know if I should tell them.”

“What reason do you have not to?”

That made you pause and think. Why were you so hesitant to tell Kalpas? “I’m not sure they’re interested in a relationship. Or if they’d make a good partner.” Elysia and Eden’s stories about the man floated through your mind and you struggled to find much in them that made him seem like he was eagerly awaiting his soulmate.

“The universe seems to think you two will get along,” Hua spoke with a knowing smile.

“The universe,” you scoffed, “also made Honkai.”

“Most likely. Honkai has caused more damage than we can comprehend. But it has also forced us to grow as a society. If you look at all the advancements we make, nearly all of them stem from Honkai. Honkai is also the reason you are here now. The reason you met your soulmate.”

“Hua. That is not making me feel better.”

The girl in front of you laughed, “it’s not meant to. I’m just trying to point out how the universe is truly neutral. Both good and bad come from it, but just because one exists does not mean we should ignore the other.”

“What the fuck are you going on about?”

She laughed again, “I think you should seek out your soulmate. At least spend some time with them, even if you don’t tell them about the bond you have.”

“I don’t think he does anything other than fight…” you hadn’t seen Kalpas around much, not that you saw any of the Flame Chasers unless you specifically looked for them.

“Kalpas sits alone at lunch most days.”

“How-!”

“He might not take kindly to company right away, but I’m sure he’ll get over it quickly.”

“How did you know he was my soulmate?”

Hua had closed her eyes to meditate again, but she peeked one open, winked, and closed it again with a smile.

Without any other ideas, taking Hua’s advice seemed like the best course of action, at least for now. When the canteen opened for lunch, you got your food and sat in one of the corners. From here, you could see everyone who came in and out, and keep a pretty good eye on the room itself. You figured you’d spend a day scouting, and tomorrow, once you knew where Kalpas sat, you’d sit by him. A great plan, except it decided to skip a few steps without you.

“Scoot.” A low rumbling voice came from your left. You were no stranger to MOTHs trying to kick you out of your seat, so you automatically looked up with a glare. And then quickly backtracked when you realized it was Kalpas you were glaring at.

“Oh, um…” you stood awkwardly with your tray. “Sorry?” Chuckling nervously did not help. As soon as you had taken a step back from your seat, Kalpas took it. You hesitated for a moment before saying ‘fuck it’ and sitting down next to him. He didn’t even give you a side eye before speaking.

“Scram. I ain’t in the mood.” You pretended not to hear him as you calmly observed the canteen. “You deaf? I said I’m not in the fucking mood. Go. Away.”

You would have ignored him again, but you could feel the raise in temperature and a brief glance showed small flickers of flame tickling the edge of his mask. In the interest of self-preservation, you took your food and moved to the table you normally sat at. It was hard to see him from over here, but from the occasional glances you managed, you could tell he was still agitated and on the verge of catching fire by the time lunch ended.

So of course, you tried again the next day.

This time, you weren’t in his seat, and you left a spot between the both of you. The space did nothing to deter his heat, but at least the fire wasn’t visible this time. It was more like sitting with your knee on a radiator in the winter than sitting on a porch in the summer sun. He clearly wasn’t at ease with you being there, but he didn’t tell you to fuck off, and that was a win in your book. Leaving the canteen unscorched was enough to put a grin on your face.

The Flame Chasers weren’t on base very often, so it took close to three weeks to sit at the same table as Kalpas seven times. When you tried to start a conversation with him, he immediately shot you down and told you to “take your shit somewhere else.” This was going to take a while. On the bright side, you now had a second line in your soulmate mark! You still had absolutely no clue what it was, but it was progress!

Giving up on making conversation, you started bringing a book or some work with you to lunch. Secretly, you were hoping he would comment on it, but realistically, you knew the only thing you were going to get was relief from your boredom.

Training with Hua was going well, and whether it was her recommendation, or a lack of agents, you had been promoted to more important missions. No longer one in a group of hundreds, you were sent in groups of three or four. And you nearly bombed your first mission.

One of your teammates spent the entire time belittling everything you did. The other made a mountain out of a molehill at every possible opportunity. Missed a shot? ‘of course you did, rookie’ ‘Making us pick up all the work!’ Fail to point out a lone Honkai beast they’re both already fighting? ‘Useless!’ ‘What? Are you blind?!’ ‘The mission would’ve gone faster without you.’ And you had never heard anyone say ‘you nearly got us killed!’ so many times.

By the end of the mission, you were done. Actually, you were done after the first ten minutes, but by the time you met up with the other team you were working with, there were some serious thoughts of ditching these two. Of course, the other team was Kalpas, Elysia, and a third Flame Chaser you hadn’t met.

Luckily, your teammates kept their mouths shut around the others. Unluckily, as soon as Elysia looked away, they were muttering under their breath. You were not going to compromise the mission. Especially when your soulmate was present, but damn did you want to kick in some teeth.

With so much Honkai energy in the area, you expected to take your anger out by fighting, but between Kalpas and the other Flame Chaser—who you learned was named Kosma—there was very little left.

Elysia told you she was really just there to reign them in if necessary, and your squad was supposed to establish a perimeter, so no civilians were in danger. Though, you had yet to see a single beast escape Kalpas’ rage, so you weren’t entirely sure why you had been deployed. The singular kill your team secured also secured your teammate a snarl from Kalpas, who told them to back off.

When the area had been cleared out, all six of you headed for the evac ship. Everything should have been fine, except “Belittle” and “Molehill” as you had started calling them, put lies in their reports. At first you didn’t care; you didn’t want to work with them again anyway. Turns out, since it was your first higher level mission, if they said you did poorly, you would be restricted from going on future missions of that level.

Your options were to sit there and take it—which was not happening—or refute the reports and hope the other squad would back you up. It felt like a waste of time pulling the Flame Chasers away from their actual important duties, but you weren’t going to let your two idiot teammates ruin your career. That investigation is actually what lead Kalpas to speak to you at lunch for the first time.

HoS was (and probably still is) my favorite character and I'm only a little sorry. anyway Hua is ace and I love her, thanks. The only other note I have written is "holy shit my handwriting is bad" and it's because I spent like 2 minutes trying to figure out what I wrote at one point. Next chapter is super fucking long because I couldn't figure a good place to split it and I keep writing at like 1am
