#im happy she likes zayne and sylus

[cinnabun-faerie]

My mum's first impression of the LADS men

As soon as I saw that there was a feature to introduce them to family, I had to show my mum. She was interested in hearing all about this new game I was playing.

Zayne

She loved him immediately

think he's the ideal partner

"Oh! He's a doctor 👀"

she likes his personality

honestly she laughed when he said he was a picky eater

cause she's a picky eater

Mum: So am I, so we have that in common

Me: He doesn't like carrots, but I do. I'll eat his for him!

"I'd want him as a son-in-law."

Sylus

loved Zayne until she saw Sylus

and melted when she heard his voice

immediately her favorite

thinks he's hot (A little too hot but that's okay)

very impressed by him

"Do you like him? I like him."

picked him as the one she'd want me to be with out of all the boys

"I know you like that other man (Zayne) but I think you should pick this one."

her mind was not changed about him when I told her he was kinda BS'ing most of that intro

Me: Mum, he's like a mafia leader.

"Yeah, and?"

honestly she'd believe anything he said

she just likes him that much

Rafayel

Too flamboyant for her taste

was not fazed that he's a fishie/merman in the slightest

she thinks he's a little odd (honestly, the fact that he trained a seagull orchestra took her out)

she didn't even notice that his hair was her favorite color (I was hoping that would sway her a bit but alas it did not)

Xavier

"Cute, but no."

Sylus is more her taste

"It's the cute ones you gotta worry about."

I think she mostly tuned him out

"He's sweet and cute I guess."

Caleb

wasn't sure about him upon first look

"Is he in the military?"

chuckled at the "Mom, Dad - Whoops sorry about that" part

"He's straight to the point, isn't he? I like that."

liked him way more than Raf and Xavier

"Oh, he cooks too? Good man."

can't decide if she likes Caleb or Zayne more

didn't really care that he was possessive/kinda yandere

"At least he's protective."

Who knew that one could feel lonely even when they were with someone.

You were at Zayne's place for the weekend, wanting to spend some quality time with him, which is very rare with your conflicting schedules but you guys have always made it work somehow.

With his busy schedule you were never the one to get upset about him forgetting a few dates, he always managed to make it up to you.

You always kept quiet about your birthday, never too crazy about getting a lot of attention on just one specific day out of the year. You just liked spending your birthday with your loved ones doing something simple and eating some cake.

You were sprawled out on the couch, your mind giving up from all the paperwork you had to do. Being a business owner was no easy work, the endless amount of paperwork and business meetings always left your head reeling.

You had decided to take a much needed break, and that's how you ended up on the couch.

Bored out of your mind you scrolled through you social media, coming across an adorable video of a cat, you were about to send it to Zayne when you decided it would be more fun to show it to him in person, that way you could also get him to take a break with you too.

Getting up, you made your to his study. You saw him focused on the screen, typing away like a man on a mission.

He noticed you lingering by the door and beckoned you over to him. Happily making your way over you show him your phone screen.

A small smile makes it's way onto his face and the sight of the cat.

"Take a short break with me. You've been cooped up in here for hours."

You grabbed his chair and turned it so it was facing you and not his computer screen. Zayne opened his mouth to reject your offer but you were one step ahead of him.

"I have some of your favourite desserts in the kitchen."

He let out a small chuckle, grabbing your hand and taking you to the kitchen where his desserts await him.

You giggled at how cute he was, always ready to chow down on dessert.

You guys were silently enjoying the desserts together, his presence bringing you comfort.

But what would life be if it didn't interrupt your time together.

Zayne's pager went off. You let out a sigh of disappointed when he gave you that look that said 'I'm sorry but I have to go,' he kissed your forehead and quickly got ready to go to the hospital.

You walked him to the door, pulling him in for a quick kiss before bidding farewell to your ever so busy boyfriend.

The house was no even more quiet than it was before, you didn't want to be upset about being alone on one of your very rare work from home days.

If you thought your day couldn't get any better, you were in for a treat.

You felt all too familiar pain in your lower abdomen.

Letting out a little scream of annoyance, you made your way to the room you and Zayne share. Grabbing a shirt out of his closet and a pair of comfy sweats, you made your way to the shower.

●・○・●・○・●・

The shower was exactly what you needed.

Zayne, being the ever caring boyfriend, always had the bathroom stocked with all your feminine necessities for situations like this.

You dried up your hair and went straight to the bed, wanting to snuggle into the sheets.

You shot your secretary a message, she would handle everything in your absence.

Going to be spending the next few days with Zayne. Also just got my period so I'll be away from work, call me if there's anything urgent. If not, I expect you to handle everything.

Putting your phone down, you got comfortable and let sleep take over. It was nice and peaceful, almost like the calm before the storm.

●・○・●・○・●・

The next day you woke up to Zayne's side of the bed being cold, indicating that he had yet to return from work.

Letting out a sigh of disappointment you decided to freshen up and make some breakfast.

As you walked to the kitchen your eyes caught the date.

Oh, it's my birthday today.

You let a small smile grace your face, knowing that you and Zayne would at least spend the day together when he gets back, he always makes sure you're at the forefront of his priorities, outside of work that is.

You turned on some music and started humming along as you maneuvered around the kitchen. Just as you finished cooking you heard the door open.

You peeked your head out the kitchen and noticed Zayne taking off his shoes and coat. You made your way towards him but he just rushed off to your shared bedroom, not even a word of a greeting to you.

"What the heck was that?"

You were confused, you know Zayne had his off days but he wouldn't go as far as to you ignore you.

Following him to the room, you found him seated at the edge of the bed with his head in his hands.

Carefully making your way over to him, you softly called out to him.

"Zayne? Are you doing ok honey?"

You knelt in front of him, trying to get a look at his face. Reaching up you tried to move his hands from his face, but you were taken aback by the way he flinched away from your touch.

He got up from his spot and made his way to the bathroom, you were stuck in your spot for a moment before you jumped up and followed him.

"Zayne tell me what's wrong."

You asked, and what you got in response was something you never expected from him.

"Can you just leave me alone right now? I don't need you following me around like a lost puppy."

His voice was cold but you still pushed a bit, not wanting to give up.

"I just wanted to know—"

"I need you to stop talking already. I've had a long night and I'd prefer if I could just have some peace and quiet for once."

He cut you off, and as much as you would hate to admit it, you felt hurt by his words.

Without another word, you quietly left his room and went back to the kitchen.

You tried to eat the breakfast you made but your appetite was ruined. To make matters worse your cramps came back full force, you clutched your stomach in pain, silently cursing the gods for making you a woman.

Great, just great. Could this day get any worse?

Famous last words.

●・○・●・○・●・

You later got a call from your assistant about some urgent matters.

Apparently, some of your board of directors were colluding with your rival company and selling confidential information about a product that was yet to be released to the public, mainly due to the fact that it still had major faults that could be damaging.

You made yourself at home in the guest bedroom, not wanting to see Zayne in fear he might get upset at you again.

You were a strong and independent business woman, but at the end of the day you were still just a young woman still learning to navigate through life. Zayne's words had you feeling sad and a bit insecure, your mind constantly bouncing back and forth between finding a solution for the damage the information leak will cause your company and the fact that you might just be an inconvenience to Zayne.

Sighing, you decided to grab your bags and head to your apartment instead. Knowing if you stuck around here any longer you might just fall into a deeper pit of despair.

●・○・●・○・●・

A couple of hours had passed by and not once did Zayne message or call you.

So much for not falling into a deeper pit of despair.

Your period was making your emotions ten times worse than they already were.

You sat on your couch, you felt so lonely. Your day was just not going well, and you didn't even have any hopes that it would get better. It was just one problem after another.

You felt that familiar sting in your eyes, and instead of holding it in like you normally do, you let it all out.

Lately you've been having such bad days, it was like someone put some evil eye on you. You wouldn't doubt it if that was the case.

You felt tired after crying for so long, you didn't want to think of it this way but this was by far your worst birthday ever.

I just wanted to have a nice and relaxing day with Zayne.

Your lip quivered as a new wave of tears streamed down your face at the thought of your boyfriend, and how he had acted earlier today. You wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt that he probably just had a bad day, but you're still human at the end of the day. You still get hurt even if the other person didn't mean to hurt you.

Before you could wallow in sadness even more you got a call from your best friend, Tara. Needing a distraction you answered the call.

"Happy birthday bestie!"

You let out a little chuckle, her happiness rubbing off on you a little.

"Thanks Tara, how have you been? Hunter's Association keeping you busy?"

Your best friend was a data analyzer for the Hunter's Association, her job kept her busy so getting the chance to talk or meet up with her was rare.

"It's been busy, but we got to go home early today! Apparently one of the new hunters shares the same birthday as you!"

"Oh really, that's nice."

"Yeah, it was last minute but she wanted us to get some hotpot together, so that's where we're headed right now. Oh wait, is that your boyfriend?"

You sat up like you got shocked.

Zayne? What is he doing? Did he not even notice you left his place?

Your mind was running a mile a minute thinking about all the possibilities.

"Oh, I didn't think he knew MC. Why isn't he with you right now?"

Tara's question had you feeling upset and annoyed.

So he can push me away when I just wanted to know if he was okay, but now he's out celebrating someone else's birthday? While completely forgetting about mine?

"Oh I've been caught up at work so we planned on celebrating another day."

You said after a moment of silence, Tara seemed to have bought your excuse.

"Okay, as long as you knew he was coming here. I'll keep an eye out for anyone trying to get too cozy with him, you can count on me!"

Tara exclaimed, she always had your back no matter what. Which is why you felt bad about lying, but this was something you needed to deal with yourself.

You wrapped up your call with Tara, and decided you would just spend the evening on your own.

You freshened up a bit and stepped out to grab some of your favourite take out and desserts.

●・○・●・○・●・

You settled onto your couch and pulled up a show that has been sitting in your watchlist for a while now, finally getting the time to watch it.

You silently ate your take out, the show was interesting enough to keep you distracted from your depressing thoughts.

That didn't last for long though, when you got to your dessert your mind started to wander as the dessert reminded you of your boyfriend who was a fiend for anything sweet.

You let out a sad chuckle as you took a bite of the dessert before pushing it away, no longer in the mood to have anything sweet.

You grabbed the blanket that was on the back of the couch and decided to get comfy. Today was draining and now you just needed to become one with the couch.

The sound of the TV lulled you to sleep, the day being wiped from your brain as you fell into a dreamless sleep.

●・○・●・○・●・

At MC's dinner, Tara was seated across from Zayne. She eyed him down, wondering why he wouldn't just stay at home and wait for you instead of being here.

She wasn't one to comment on what people do with their free time, but it was odd to see him here, and for MC's birthday when it's just coworkers.

For the entirety of the dinner Tara silently observes him and MC, obviously he would never do anything to hurt you, but one could never say the same about other people.

Near the end of the dinner, Tara pulled out the gift she had prepared for you, knowing Zayne would be seeing you sooner than she'll see you she handed it to him.

He gave her a confused look as he eyed the gift bag.

"It's Y/N's birthday gift. You'll see her sooner than I will so can you give it to her?"

If it wasn't for Tara paying close attention, she would have missed the way his eyes widened just a fraction before silently nodding and taking the gift, bidding her farewell before rushing out.

I've never seen that man run out so fast.

Tara thought, turning her attention to MC as they made plans to go to karoke.

●・○・●・○・●・

Zayne had never felt as disappointed in himself more than he did today.

He not only had been extremely rude to you this morning, he also forgot your birthday.

He had no excuse, no matter how stressful or busy work got, he should've at least remembered what today was.

Rushing back home, he looked around for you. He couldn't find you anywhere, it seemed like you hadn't been home for a while. Zayne also noticed your keys weren't there either.

Did she go somewhere? But where could she have gone.

He racked his brain for any ideas of where you could have gone, taking a shot he decided to go to your apartment first. Hoping that you would be there.

●・○・●・○・●・

Once he got to your apartment, he hesitated to open the door. Unsure of whether you would want to see him or not.

He gathered some courage and opened the door, the sight in front of him had his chest hurting.

There you were, curled up on the couch with take out containers and a barely eaten dessert on the coffee table in front of you.

It seemed you had fallen asleep watching a show.

Zayne carefully made his way towards you, picking up the garbage to throw it out, and then packing the dessert away into the fridge.

After cleaning up he made his way back to the living room and knelt down in front of you. Immediately, he noticed how your eyes were red and puffy with a wet spot on the pillow indicating that you had cried yourself to sleep.

His chest felt tight looking at you like that. You were always so strong, barely ever giving into negative feelings, but I guess everyone has their limits.

Zayne gently gathered you into his arms and made his way towards your room. After tucking you in he decided to wash up and join you, hoping you would forgive him for neglecting you all day.

He slipped into bed quietly as to not wake you up, he pulled you in closer to him so that your head was against his chest and his arms were wrapped around your waist.

"I'm so sorry my love. When you wake up I'll make it up to you, I promise."

He placed a gentle kiss at the top of your head, letting himself relax with you in his arms.

●・○・●・○・●・

You woke up to arms wrapped around you, your brain not having caught up to the situation allowed your body to snuggle closer in to the warmth that surrounded you.

Wait didn't I fall asleep on the couch?

You shot up, or well tried to, the arms holding you restricted you from moving too much.

Looking up you came face to face with Zayne, seeing him brought back all of your feelings from yesterday and you tried to wiggle out of his grasp, only for him to tighten his hold even more.

"Stop moving so much and get some more rest."

His eyes were still closed as he spoke.

It irritated you that he could just act like everything was ok. You continued to move around until you finally escaped his grasp, darting straight to the bathroom.

You locked yourself in, not wanting him to come in. You didn't want to just forget it all and move on, it wasn't fair.

You were so lost in your thoughts you didn't hear Zayne knocking on the door.

"My love, are you ok? Can you please open the door?"

He spoke softly, as if he didn't want to upset me further.

You felt like you were being childish, but you wanted to ignore him the same way he ignored your requests about whether he was ok, and lets not get started about him forgetting your birthday.

You quickly freshened up and opened the door, Zayne stood in front of the door, patiently waiting for you.

He was about to say something but you just slid past him, not wanting to hear him out.

Desperate, Zayne grabbed your arm and pulled you to his chest, wrapping his arms around your waist to prevent you from walking away from him.

You wiggled in his hold. You felt your resolve to ignore him slipping the longer you stayed in his embrace.

He slowly moved backwards towards the bed, sitting down on it with you now in his lap.

You gave in and started crying, Zayne rocked you back and forth while rubbing a hand soothingly on your back.

“I’m sorry my love, I know it’s not an excuse but I didn’t mean to hurt you.”

He grabs ahold of your face and brings it to face him. The tears streaming down your face make him feel like a sinner.

He wipes them away as you slowly begin to calm down.

“Why did you go to her birthday dinner.”

You didn’t even have to say a name for him to know. He pulls out his phone to show you his texts with her, she basically lied to him about her heart condition acting up to get him to come out, and unfortunately it worked.

“I was concerned for my patient, it was nothing more than that. I was backed into a corner when she had asked me to join them for dinner.”

If there was one thing for sure, Zayne was never a man who would lie, even with reason. He always spoke the truth no matter what. This situation was also no exception.

“She was just one of my childhood friends who was diagnosed with a rare heart condition, if my head was screwed on right yesterday I would have never said yes. I’d rather spend my time with you.”

He gave you an adorable smile, but that didn’t mean you’d let him off the hook.

“You’re going to have to work for your forgiveness mister. Yesterday really hurt me, I’ve never felt more alone in a relationship than I did yesterday and we were supposed to be spending time together.”

You spoke, you needed to let him know how you felt, you wanted your relationship to work and in order to do that you needed to communicate.

Zayne nodded in agreement.

“I wouldn’t want you to forgive me so easily either.”

He pulled you in for a hug, wanting to comfort you as much as possible.

It was then you got this amazing idea, you knew exactly how you were going to get back at him.

“For making me sad your punishment is no desserts for a week.”

Zayne was about to protest what you interrupted him.

“Say one word of disagreement and I’ll extend it by another week.”

That got him to promptly close his mouth and begrudgingly agree.

“You also owe me massages for the whole week, I got my period and I’m sore all over.”

Now Zayne felt even more upset.

You were already in pain and I just added more to it.

Zayne thought.

“I’ll do anything you ask of me my love, whatever makes you happy.”

He pulled you in for a kiss, it was soft and sweet. Zayne’s actions always were louder than his words.

You kissed him back, enjoying the warmth he gave you both inside and out. You guys had your ups and downs but you always managed to make it work.

Zayne would be damned if he ever let someone so precious slip through his fingers.

On the survey I asked the developers to add some VAMPIRE themed cards.

And here what I thought about.

WARNING!!! a lot of mistakes,probably, I'm sorry

Imagine Mc is a vampire like Kathrine Pierce from tvd. The cards are happening in like 17-18 th century or something like this.

So she meets the boys.

1. Xavier -a vampire prince who hides that he's a vampire but mc founds out accidentally. Bc they were childhood friends, and she was terminally ill and was slowly dying, but xavier turned her. So they form an alliance bc they are both vampires, and no one would understand them. They even plan on either getting married or running away together, but royal duties need Xavier to marry a royal person, but mc is not royal and xavier only wants her. But a family of the royal daughter that wants xavier to marry their daughter sends an assassin after her. So, mc's vampire identity was released to the public, and Xaviers family orders to kill mc bc she's vampire, and xavier is like, nuh, uh. They try to run away but mc wanted a good life for xavier, so she sacrifices herself for him having a good life or sumn.

2.Zayne- (mc just got turned or something) a doctor, something like Carlisle from Twilight BUT stay with me!!! He teaches her how to live as a vampire, and they start to live together, BUT there's a kicker!!!! People found out, and they HATE vampires, so they haunt them down, and they die in each other's hands (mhm angst, I love itttt)

3.Rafayel-Mc turns Rafayel (STAY WITH ME HERE) but it was an accident?!?!?!?! She just wanted to drink some of his blood but got carried away and turned him in the vampire. But she didn't know that she turned him into a vampire. So imagine the shock on her face when she wakes up(yes, she sleeps, leave me alone) with him staring at her sitting in a chair, all broody and moody. So he starts to live with her, tey all lovey dovey. Rafayel found some of the mc old letters to her dead lover. (Turns out her lover was Rafayel, but he died?idk im out of ideas), so Rafayel wants to give her colorful happy long life, but mc has no desire to keep on living. So one day he finds a letter on his bed from mc, saying goodbyes etc. So Rafayel keeps on looking for her in every person until he goes insane and people kill him

4.Sylus-A vampire who found mc almost dead, but he decided to turn her into a vampire. He taught her how to appreciate her new life, so they live together(pretty much Rosalie and Emmett from Twilight), but whoever "killed" mc sees her alive and like:damn, is she a witch? So, they send ppl after her claiming that she's a witch. But Sylus wouldn't let anyone touch her. So, he kills them before they try to hurt her but he gets hurt really bad and dies(😳😲). But mc keeps on living. So she finds him a future as she visits some sport event where he participates(boxing match?)but he doesn't remember her so mc is hurt and stuff....That's it!!!!!

5.Caleb- would be a vampire hunter who tries to catch mc bc there's a bounty on her head. They go back and forth until they fall in love, but that's infold, so there'd be angst!!!! Like maybe mc dying in the sunlight or someone kills her, but before she dies, she turns caleb into a vampire, but now he's cursed to spend entirety alone (yes, I hate happiness)

[d0rothydraws]

Have you seen the new trailer? Omfg 😭🩷

im a simple lady. I woke up. I check youtube. I go feral and then take a shower.

I couldn't be happier, I honestly have been avoiding the trailers because I feel like they show too much but honestly it wasnt much this time and im happy about that.

GIRL WHEN SHE PUSHED HIM DOWN I HAD TO PAUSE IT. also ZAYNE??? my jaw dropped. my shivers were timbered.

also the new events are so cute im excited to beat sylus' ass in jenga <3

[anti-cyra]

HELLO ITS ME THE ANGST ANON WHO FORGOT ABT IT WHEN SHE SAW THE SEXY 😭😭 the angst came back to me !!! ok so like , lnds men yes but angst in a way where the user is different from mc or is a previous partner ( ehem sylus ) and its like , just them settling for the user because mc ended up with another love interest ( rebound core basically ), the four of them ( yes this includes caleb . ) have different reactions to it ig since i dont see zayne being the type to neglect partners no matter who the hell they are 😾, anyways, sylus’ case could be similar but also different, user as a previous partner who wasn’t really a partner because it was also just a deal and user thought of it as smth more, but sylus leaves when mc came into the picture ( even before she came in he was already interested in her bcs of like, yk, mephisto and stuff ) , so yeah !! bye this was just me rambling but anyways 😓😓

WELCOME BACK 🫶🏻 but also that's so sjdfhjksadhf MY HEART... it pains me just reading it. i personally prefer my delusions to be happy idk about u im married to xavier 🙏🏻💓 /lh totally see caleb finding a rebound for the user he never gets though (rip caleb stans he has moved on from the game when is he COMING BACK FROM THE DEAD) anyway i do think rafayel would take it the worst??? like... his whole heart is with mc............. LEMURIAN BOND STYLE. wow. that's evil, let's do it. thank you so much for sharing your idea with me, i'll see when i want to inflict pain on the people!!! 🫡
