#julian x nb!apprentice

[dinoni]

clingy

[sh1-n0bu]

Hmm, perhaps a fluffy date with an Arataki Itto who is trying to impress the reader by showing off for the event requests?

If that doesn't strike you, anything with Julian Devorak or Muriel from The Arcana would SLAP - I haven't seen many others into it on here yet and you reminded me of its existence jkshkjgfd

✿ 𝙫𝙖𝙡𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙚𝙨? ✿

characters: murial, julian devorak x nb!reader (separate)

warnings: fluff, crack, the idiots (affectionately) are bad at feelings, mazelinka portia and asra best wingmen😤💪

notes: i literally accidentally deleted this entire fic at 3 in the fucking morning last night and went to sleep with angry tears like a bitch

poor gentle giant has never heard of valentines day before so when asra and faust brought it up, he just stood there with a cute, confused look on his face and a tilted head

muriel has never pursued romantic relationships or even a normal human interaction at that so when asra suddenly brought up about a day where people ask the one they have affections for out on a date, his mind just short circuited

cue a cute flustered mountain of a man, tripping over his words, trying to deny his feelings for you

it took him a long time to understand that the butterflies in his stomach, heat rising to his cheeks and hand twitching to hold yours was a normal thing for people in love

and it took him even longer to accept that feeling and his affections towards you

it took hours of lecture from both asra and his familiar faust to knock some sense into the gentle giant

when muriel returned to his little hut in the forest, he couldn’t sit still in one place for even a minute

pacing back and forth, mumbling about the “what-ifs”, hell he even asked inanna about whether he should confess or not

after getting the “are-you-serious?” look from inanna, muriel finally made up his mind

soon valentines day came and there he was, standing in front of your little cottage with a fresh new clothes - your gifted green scarf still wrapped around his neck - holding a bouquet of flowers that he picked and wrapped himself

after debating all sorts of things in his mind, he finally sucked it up and knocked on your door

gods, you always takes his breath away

after snapping out of his simping over you, the gentle giant finally came clean of his feelings

“ahem… uhm i heard from asra and faust… that today is a day for couples and i thought…”

“…will you be my valentine, [name]?”

ah yes the ever scheming, masochist, i-hide-my-true-feelings-behind-fake-smiles-and-flirty-personality doctor, the first character i simped for in arcana

ilya is so used to always hiding behind charming lies, deceitful words and fake personalities that when portia pointed out that he holds affections for you, he denied and denied for almost an entire year

which what got him being chased around portia’s little cottage with the owner of the house chasing after him with a wet rag while pepi the cat sat back and watched, purring with amusement

he finally decided to face the music and ask you on valnetines when even mazelinka joined in on the scolding all the while knocking him over the head with her infamous wooden spoon

“oh come on! how long do you plan to make [name] wait, ilya?! they won’t be patient forever!”

“your sister has a point. suck it up and tell them how you feel already! i’m sick of watching you sigh and mumble their name in your sleep, you idiot!”

“ow! okay-ow! pasha! mazelinka! please have mercy!!”

the next morning julian woke up with a massive headache

and so soon enough, valentines day comes and there he stands, in front of your door, hand made box of chocolates in hand with all the blood in his body rushing to his cheeks

after checking himself over for the hundredth time in a close by water, he took a deep breath before finally knocking on the front of your home

“ahem. ahaha! my darling, dearest [name]! it appears that a certain little birdie has told me about your infatuation with me! so i have decided to make it easier for you and ask you out first. will you be my valentine darling?”

uh-huh sure julian. acting as if he wasn’t stress-eating the night before. you aint slick

[revaroniwrites]

Look, Allura’s really not one for ~subtlety~

[collective-laugh]

I'm kinda debating with myself on whether im nonbinary or not. So can we get some main 6 headcanons for when MC starts questioning their own gender? Thanks! Hope those commission work out but I have no money to give.

I hope your gender journey (journder? gendey?) is going well anon!

Asra

Join the fucking club

Gender is fake, existence is a curse, life is a party, and he’s the pinata

Asra is down for whatever pronouns you wanna be called, whatever works for you is what he’ll call you

Objectively, it’s not that big a deal to him, considering “gender and sexuality” aren’t really that big of a thing in Vesuvia (so it seems, at least) but if it’s a big deal to you, you best believe he’s gonna be celebrating like it’s the masquerade

Nadia

That’s cool. She’s a rational mind, talking to you about what you want, what you need

She’s there for you. Need a binder? Gotcha. Prefer one gender-oriented clothing style over the next? Already being shipped. Prefer clothing without gender? We got it

She’s not too fussed about it. She just wants you to be happy

She also wants you to be comfortable in your own skin

Julian

He probably makes a big deal about it, hugging you and crying and talking about how amazing it is

He just likes the excuse to hug you, to be honest

He’s cool with it, honestly, the idea of you changing your pronouns or gender or both

He’ll totally start introducing you to everyone you meet as his “date mate”

Muriel

Okay. It’s that simple. He’ll start calling you by your preferred pronouns, if they change

Like I said, gender isn’t as big a deal in Veusvia as it is here, and is probably even less of a deal to Muriel.

But if it’s a big thing with you, he’ll…attempt to be more enthusiastic

No promises, though. He might make you a flower crown. Maybe.

Portia

soft queen is literally bouncing off the walls for you

She’s so happy, and is happy to walk through your gendourney with you

She calls it that religiously and refuses to call it anything other than a mashup of the two

“Genourney…gendourney…jounrder…journder…hmmm….gendourney!”

Lucio

Ol goat boi treats gender like deciding between a new pair of shoes.

He’s cool with whatever pair you wanna wear for the day, if it changes or if it stays the same when you decide

You’re still his schnookums, his love, his very reason for existence, and nothing is gonna change that

But do help him decide on what shoes he’ll wear for the day, please? The stilettos will kill him by the end of the day, but they’re so…aesthetic

[impashableimagines]

yOOOO can u please bless us with mermaid!au headcanons???? with julian as the mermaid! i can't wait to see ur take on it bc ur ideas are always So Good :,)

Ok I want to finish this one before the end of Mermay so here we go y’all

I HC Julian as a black ghost knifefish variety merman (picture below for reference)

For a little context why I chose this interpretation, our lil buddy the ghost knifefish feeds on these creatures that are basically carnivorous, venomous leeches (but not really leeches), called bloodworms. They’re also nocturnal.

Although he is usually a deepsea merman, one night, our buddy mer!Julian finds himself drawn to the surface of the water by the glint of gold in the water illuminated by the moonlight, tossed over the side of what looks like a pirate ship on the surface

Of course, this is MC trying to cause as much fucking trouble as possible for their pirate companions while they’re asleep because why the fuck not, they’re mischievous AF

MC is on this ship travelling away from their homeland after having gone back to visit their teacher, Asra.

Julian is immediately captivated by MC, wants to bring them back with him to the depths and keep them forever yes he wants to possess them like a shiny object, and he maaay be thinking of having them as a snack, it probably isn’t healthy

MC doesn’t seem to notice Julian at first, but damn does Julian notice them

He thinks they’re the most beautiful thing he’s ever seen, on land or sea, and they smell DIVINE.

At first it’s purely a physical attraction thing for him - they’re stunning and he’s thinking with his dick … cloaca … whatever fucking organs a fish has for reproduction … Genital pore? Sorry, I don’t know fish anatomy and google isn’t helping me much, but I digress.

But the more he observes MC, though, the more he stops seeing them as a potential snack, and starts to fall for them romantically?

MC throwing gold overboard, picking fights with pirates, swinging from the ship’s rope systems, chilling in the crow’s nest with a journal? Good shit, says Julian. And MC sassing the goddamn pirate captain? Well shit, he’s smitten.

During the daytime, Julian can’t go to the surface because the sun is harmful to him, and he dreads when the sun begins to rise because that’s when MC is most active and he’s MISSING OUT on that precious time

It’s all fun and games, Julian watching MC and MC pretending not to notice, until MC lets it be known they know Julian is there one night by fucking JUMPING OVERBOARD to see if the merman who’s been spying on them is friend or foe

Julian loses his shit - doesn’t know if he should laugh or panic, and he’s trying to make sure the little human doesn’t fucking die in the water because how should he know if humans can swim? This is literally the first human he’s ever actually seen, let alone met.

He swims over and scoops them up, taking them to shore.

“WHAT THE FUCK WERE YOU THINKING YOU IDIOT?! YOU COULD HAVE DIED- CAN YOU HUMANS EVEN SWIM WITHOUT FINS?”

MC is cackling. “Of course I can swim, I just wanted to see if you were friendly or if you’d try to eat me or something, pretty fish man!”

Julian is stunned. MC just called him pretty, even though he’s a carnivorous spooky scary deep sea merman?? He’s fucking weirded out because normally the other mermaids are afraid of him

He’s never had anyone think he’s pretty before and he’s just shocked that a human pirate is calling him pretty when he could easily attack them and drink their blood in an instant

And he’s fighting off the urges and instinct to do exactly that because MC looks and smells delicious to him

He just wants to make them his, so he can claim them as his own and stop wanting to eat the one being who doesn’t seem to actually be terrified of him?

But he doesn’t want to scare them either with the idea of mating so he doesn’t try to initiate anything

UNTIL

After a few weeks, when they’re comfortable with each other MC decides to tease him

“Aw, is the big bad fishy gonna bite me?”

Of course he fucking bites them, that was basically a fucking invitation

MC is not fucking amused but they are slightly aroused under the annoyance

“Eat your goddamn bloodworms, not me, you dumbass. Unless there’s another way you want to eat me.”

Goddamn it guys I’m trying not to sexual innuendo the fuck out of this post but I keep walking right into it I’m sorry

There may or may not be a little vore/blood play going on here if people are into that but that’s a story for another post people can ask for if they want to hear it

Eventually Julian and MC are essentially romantically involved and Julian decides to see a magical sea deity and requests that MC be allowed to become a merbeing themself, so they can be with Julian forever.

Imagine this deity to basically be Ursula and Triton from the Little Mermaid combined as far as power levels go

The deity decides that they will transform MC, but only under the condition that Julian gives something up in exchange - his nocturnal vision - which means he would essentially be blind.

Now, Julian loves seeing MC. Their looks were the first thing he fell for, after all. Never seeing their face clearly again would devastate him, but so would being separated from them for over half of every day because of the sunlight.

So he agrees to the conditions, although MC protests that this is a fucking dumb idea and isn’t there a better way to go about this? 

MC then decides that, to make sure Julian keeps his precious sight (or at least most of it), they’re going to offer something else. 

Their proposition: Julian would lose sight in one eye, and MC would give up their ability to go on land, even if it meant never seeing their beloved teacher, Asra, ever again.

The deity, intrigued by MC’s willingness to sacrifice something they love for Julian, decides that they will not require any conditions, because MC’s courage, dedication to Julian, and love for Julian, who no merperson or mortal has ever even been friends with, let alone loved, is just astonishing to them.

So Julian and MC get to have their happy ending together, and in addition, the deity gifts them both the ability to shift between human and merperson forms as a show of goodwill toward this union between the mortal and the merman.

You best believe there are lots of merbabies in their future too, some wee cuties they’ll be

I’m sorry this is garbage but I tried

Julian X Ace Apprentice

*Notes: I saw a wonderful headcanon by @bazzpop regarding Lucio and vanilla sex with nb sex-positive asexual apprentice/MC and I felt inspired to write my own but with Julian*

*Further note: I didn't intend for this to get so long but ACE REPRESENT and Julian's my favorite*

Julian loves apprentice to the moon and back. (Well, literally to the devil's realm and back) He sees them as the light in his darkest time, his very savior

Julian would never do anything to hurt them, and even though he was a bit confused when they told him that the were asexual, he understood (after they explained it, the spectrum, what it meant, what it meant for them) and he went along with their relationship accordingly

He's learning. Not only learning asexuality and it's spectrum and how to show affection towards apprentice, he's also learning soft love, unconditional love, and especially, possibly most importantly, self love.

He wants to make sure what all apprentice is and is not okay with and sticks to it, and always asks consent either verbally or with a facial expression explicitly reserved for asking consent. May I add that consent is also important to him after having witnessed the dissections and other experiments on plague victims while working in the dungeon. It haunts him. In addition, the "assumptions he made" with Asra during their relationship, making him all the more cautious.

••• MOVING ON •••

CUDDLES - Julian's love language has a lot to do with physical touch. Once he establishes that apprentice is okay with cuddles, HE IS ALL OVER IT. Hugs from behind, Julian's chin on the crown of their head, soft gentle hugs whenever and randomly, of course ALL the cuddles and snuggles in bed.

General physical (not sexual) touch - holding hands, especially in public. Arm in arm while walking from place to place. Cooler/colder temperature gives the opportunity to hold each other by waists and shoulders shrouded under Julian's jacket/cloak. Sweetly nuzzles into apprentice's hair, chin resting on top of their head. Apprentice resting their head on his shoulder just makes him melt. Julian's natural charm makes non sexual touch absolutely natural to the both of them.

a. At home its the sweet hugs from behind, his arms around their waist, his chin on the top of their head as apprentice is doing something. Curled up on a couch, sofa or bed, reading, arms around each other, Julian mindlessly stroking apprentice's hair. Apprentice snuggling up under his free arm, head resting on shoulder, snagging the chaste kiss every so often.

b. Soft good morning kisses, "Good morning my love"

c. Morning snuggles

Sex - gentle love making. Julian loves them so, he doesn't care as long as they're both enjoying it. He sets up an inviting, secure environment, everything they may need concealed in a night stand or chest. Towels, oil, lube, birth control herbs, snacks for after.

a. He has candles lit, perhaps a few of apprentice's magical glowing rocks for soft light.

b. Starts it off with slow dancing after dinner, fresh flowers in a vase. Soft, slow kisses, becoming more and more heated. Julian breaks the connection, takes them by the hand, smiling, leading them to the bedroom.

c. Mutually remove each other's clothing, not viciously, they take their sweet precious time.

d. He's so careful with them, always asking if they're comfortable, if anything hurts just let him know, and he'll adjust. He's a good boy, after all.

e. "I love you"s and praise and panting are all that escape their ever so busy lips

f. Aftercare is important to him, he draws them a bath with rose petals and salts and teas and whatever else. They relax, cleansing each other. When all is said and done, they curl into each other, someone's head on the other's chest, soft sweet murmers, tangle of limbs, drifting into sleep in each other's arms

We all know Julian is a kinky little shit, too. And apprentice understands relationships are give and take, compromises. If Julian needs a kink fix, apprentice is all too happy to take care of him as he does them.

THis hELL OF A PIECE TOOK ME FOREVER TO COMPLETE AROUND SCHOOL

if it were up to me, writing shitty fanfiction about my fictional husbands is what i would do for the rest of my life, sometimes. because high school sucks xD and the arcana and midnight cinderella (another fantastic dating sim!) are why im still existing and its been less than a month since school starts ._.

honestly, it think it’s actually one of my better works but hey XD

anywho, again, i do try to write from they/them nb perspective but sometimes it does come across as she/her perspective unintentionally.

If you see any mistakes or have suggestions for other fics, please do suggest :) I’m trying to learn to write for Julian, but I’m not sure I’m quite there yet. Maybe soon! Please enjoy haha

dedicated to @rosehardt​ for their sweet comment on my last Asra fic <3

Gasping, I stopped to rest in a dark alleyway. My heaving breaths were noisy despite my attempts to quiet them. I prayed that my pursuer will go away and leave me the hell alone. For the first time, I gingerly took a peek at the wound made by the hooded figure's knife. It was rather severe; blood was seeping all over, completely soaking my linen shirt. The captor had cut my just below my chest down to my waist. "How did I get here?" I moaned in frustration. But I knew perfectly how I had gotten here.

I had been taking a night stroll, thinking about my master, the Arcana, and his familiar. It was a fantastic night - the kind of night where you could see millions of stars wherever you went. My favorite shawl concealed my hair and to an extent, my face. The soft material looked like it could've been made from the same sky that blanketed the earth. The rest of my outfit was selected around it. Even at night, the marketplace was lively and bright. Venders offered me various goods from sweet fruits to homemade crafts. I shook my head politely before making my way past a mysterious black tent. Suddenly, someone grabbed my wrist and yanked me hard into the tent. I gasped and yelped in surprise but another hand covered my mouth. "So you're Asra’s famous apprentice everyone talks about?" sneered a low voice. "Maybe you've should've foreseen this happening to you." I attempted to get away, tried to pull away, but the grip just tightened on me. I could feel my shirt being lifted and resisted more, trying to yank myself out of the hand. Something sharp was being traced against my skin. Panic rose in my throat and I cried out in his hand. "Not so fast, young one." the figure admonished gently, as if I were a star pupil and my kidnapper was a kind teacher. I kicked and stomped on his feet as best as I could in the awkward position the person had me in. "Perhaps we should just get right into this." Anger was starting to leak into the voice. The knife pierced my skin swiftly and I couldn't do anything but struggle and cry out into the hand. In desperation, I tried to bit the hand as the kidnapper dug it in further. Swearing like a fiend, the hands released me and I shot out like a rocket, desperate to find the exit. I blasted it out of there and somehow ran behind an alleyway.

Wildly, I glanced around, trying to figure out the quickest way to my shop without being spotted by too many people. Slowly, but surely I forced myself to my home and released a sigh of relief as I locked the door behind me. I felt myself slide down to the ground while my vision grew out of focus fast. "(Y/N)?" Asra's soft, melodic voice called out. I couldn't summon any energy to answer as I sat there, panting and trying not to disturb my oozing wound. When I didn't respond, his light, graceful footsteps approached the door and although quiet, I heard his gasp of surprise. "You're hurt, oh no...please, no..." Asra muttered; this was the first time he sounded so distraught, but I could hardly focus on that. I tried to regain focus and blinked rapidly. "(Y/N), can you hear me?" Asra asked, worry in his voice. I nodded, or at least, I think I did. Gently, he helped me to my feet and lifted me bridal style in his arms. "Asra," I whispered, slightly dazed. "I'm here for you, (Y/N). You're safe now that I'm here to care for you." he reassured. I wrapped my arms around him and leaned in to smell his sweet scent. My eyes shut for a second from the throbbing that started to become prevalent. now that I was safe. 

Asra snatched a blanket on the way to the bed and placed me on it gently. Slowly, he peeled back the blood soaked shirt to reveal the mess of a wound. I watched his face anxiously, but he revealed nothing except concern. Without saying anything, he exited swiftly, probably to get something.

Soon after, he returned with some alcohol, bandages, and some kind of white kit. "Listen, (Y/N), this wound is extremely deep. I'm not much of a, well, doctor, but I do know some basics from previous... occasions." he told me softly, his eyes locking on to mine. "First, I have to clean the wound, which will hurt a lot, and then sew it up as best I can. The stitches won't hurt as much as the actually cleaning will. It’ll probably leave a scar." Asra frowned to himself and his inability to fix this problem. Meanwhile, his hand held mine and I squeezed weakly.

“Don’t worry about it,” I answered shakily, trying not to be a baby about the entire situation. Asra, likes always, could see through my mask and softened his gaze. 

“It’ll be okay.” He reached over and kissed my forehead, stroking my hair softly. “Can you drink some of this alcohol? It’ll numb some of the pain,” he added, looking at my shocked expression. I tried to sit up a bit to drink some and Asra lifted the small bottle to my lips. The taste was dry and stung my throat, but I drank anyways. 

“Do you think we could try to remove your shirt? It’ll be easier to work with the wound.” he explained after he set the bottle down. I blushed, despite the serious circumstances. 

“Uh, yeah, that’s fine.” I replied as casually as I could, breaking my gaze to him. Asra chuckled, which was a sweet sound to hear.

“You’re charming when you blush.” he murmured as he helped me get the blood soaked shirt off as well as the shawl wrapped around me still. I could feel the edges of my vision getting hazy.

“Okay, I’m going to clean it now. I’m sorry for the pain, but try to stay still. It’ll be over soon,” he promised when he returned out of nowhere with boiling water and a washcloth. My gaze drifted to his fluffy hair - it was like a sheep’s and I wanted nothing more to touch it. 

Suddenly, hot pain coursed through me and I cried out when it wouldn’t stop. Asra flinched when he heard my shouts and I tried to quiet myself to no avail.

“You’re doing great,” he reassured me with a calm voice. “Just a bit more.” More of the searing pain? I wasn’t sure if I could handle it a lot of it. 

It hit me again and I writhed around this time while Asra tried to keep me still.

“Please, I’m almost done, it’ll be okay, I’m sorry, (Y/N).” Asra’s voice had a note of panic in it and that caused me to hold still. I think we both sighed in relief when he said, “Okay, I’m finished cleaning, just relax for awhile.”

My mind dozed for a bit while Asra worked. I studied him while he worked on closing my wound up. His eyebrow was furrowed in concentration on what he was doing and his graceful hands worked calmly and steadily. Asra was right; I couldn’t feel any kind of pain or at least none that bothered me.

At some point, I reached out and awkwardly patted him because he took my hand and kissed it gently with his soft lips. I think I smiled.

Soon after he finished he put away the items and took away the blanket, which was now stained with my blood and he changed clothes to go to bed - or rather snuggle with me. I felt his warmth surrounding me cautiously and gently, and automatically nestled in his safe presence. It sounded like he was talking to me while I was half asleep, but also half talking to himself, for so many unknown reasons.

“(Y/N), your expression is peaceful and (beautiful/handsome) when resting. I hope you know how worried I was, you really scared me half to death when you first walked in... I can’t believe how much I’ve come to care for you, and part of me hopes to avenge whoever did this to you. I wish I could’ve protected you... I’m so sorry I had to cause you pain to make it better. Your screams were terrifying and I felt... horrible, like a monster for causing you such pain... Despite this, I still love you. I love you with all of my heart and I know that’ll never die. Sweet dreams, (Y/N).”

Sweet dreams, indeed, I would always have forever if I stayed in his arms.

Laying Low

I don’t know where this is going, but I had to get it out of my head & I’m impatient for the newest update.  Mostly just my favourite scene so far with some personal details of my nb apprentice thrown in.  Also I’ve never written in first person, or present tense, so I hope this isn’t awkward af?? It just seemed right though, so…  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ lol tagging @seigephoenix & @polarelle, since you guys seemed interested ^^ Anyway, here’s about 2,500 words of Julian x apprentice fluff.  Also, minor spoilers.

I can feel Julian’s heavy half-lidded gaze pull at me from his perch on the edge of the bed.  The entire evening has been rife with close calls and lingering glances.  Unbidden, my mind returns to the garden; the memory of Julian’s flushed face and stifled moan at my hand on his wounded side makes heat wash over me, pooling low in my stomach.  My hand trembles slightly on the bowl of golden broth and I glance back up at him, deliberating if I should act on these feelings, or not.

The way his tongue darts out of moisten his lips coupled with the way he stares at mine make up my mind.  In one fluid motion I set the bowl on the table and then I’m leaning over him, my knee propped on the edge of the bed.  There’s only a moment’s hesitation in which I note the surprise on his face before our lips collide.  My hand snakes behind his head, as if on its own accord to coil in the fiery hair at the nape of his neck, tugging slightly.  He moans my name against my mouth, while his hands grasp desperately at my waist.

Experimenting, I tug harder at the hair tangled between my fingers as I watch his reaction. His eye flashes and he groans louder.  I pull back to gasp a breath, pleased with his response, when he pulls me forward.  “Come here, come closer,” he murmurs and winds his arms around my back, pressing me to him.  At the sudden motion I lose my balance and fall forward, landing on top of him on the bed.  My first instinct is to ask if he’s okay; to make sure I’m not crushing him, but as I try to pull away, his embrace only tightens, as if my weight off him is the last thing he wants.

I wrench sharply at his hair and it stops him short.  “What’s wrong?  Was - was that too much?  You can tell me if you’re uncomfortable.  I’ll be good,” he insists, colour creeping across his nose and cheeks.  The sight makes me laugh and I feel like teasing him.  I sit up, straddling his hips triumphantly as I catch my breath.  Julian makes to follow me. “Ah, ah, ah,” I cluck, my lips tugging into a mischievous grin as I press my fingers to his broad chest, easily holding him down.  “I was told you’d need to be pinned,” I smirk as I gaze down at him. His face splits into a devilish grin and his eye glints excitedly in the flickering candle light.  “If it’s you doing the pinning, then trust me… I’m not going anywhere,” he purrs, and I realize he’s enjoying being under my control.  A heady rush grips me as I realize, I’m enjoying it too.

Missing the feel of his lips, I lean back down, resting my elbows on either side of his head.  His arms wind back around me, crushing me to him as he eagerly picks up where we left off.  His tongue flicks against my lip, begging entrance, and I feel his hunger through the kiss.  However, I take my time, teasing him deliberately, nipping at his bottom lip.  Julian growls low in his throat and I decide to give in, surprising him as my tongue dances over his; his growl turning into a moan that sends a shiver racing up my spine.

A loud cough from the curtain startles me.  “That enough for now, you two.”  At Mazelinka’s words I practically leap away from Julian, quickly disentangling myself from his long limbs, feeling mortification roll through me in waves.  The old crone clucks her tongue and shakes her head bemusedly.  She tosses a blanket over Julian as he gapes at her before she turns her large gleaming eyes on me.  I stiffen slightly under her gaze.

“I take it you’ll be sharing the bed, Joss?” she asks, tilting her head, a cheeky smile on her lips.  “Unless… you’d rather take the hiding hole and I’ll stay with this rascal.”

Julian clears his throat and stretches out languidly on the small bed, watching me expectantly.  

“I, uh, I’ll stay with him,” I utter sheepishly.

“Somehow I thought you’d say that,” Mazelinka says, grinning.

Julian catches my eye and smiles rakishly.  I get the feeling he’s pleased that I want to stay with him.  “You hear that, dear?” he exclaims to his old friend, “there’s nothing to worry about, I’ll be an absolute gentleman.”

Mazelinka barks a laugh.  “Oh, will you?” she replies skeptically before addressing me, “Joss, hold him to that.”

“Absolutely,” Julian purrs, his gaze hot on me, “hold me however you like, Joss.”  If possible it feels like my entire body is flushed the same colour as his hair.

The old woman rolls her eyes and swats him on the side of head before heading back to the curtain.  “Make sure you get some sleep,” she admonishes.

“Now that I can’t promise you,” Julian says with a teasing grin, his good eye flicking to me, holding my gaze.  I hear Mazelinka snort before shuffling out, muttering under her breath.  The curtain falls behind her, leaving us alone.

Julian pulls back the blanket and pats the spot next to him, wriggling his eyebrows at me.  “See, nice and spacious,” he smirks, and I roll my eyes.  However, he notices my hesitation.  “I don’t bite,” he says, cocking an eyebrow, “well, not unless you want me to,” he adds mischievously.

“It’s not like that,” I assure him quickly and he cocks his head in confusion.  “I, uh, can you close your eye for a minute, please?”  Julian shrugs, but complies.

I turn my back to him as an added measure before pulling my tunic over my head.  With deft fingers I unwind the binding from my chest and take a deep breath, letting my lungs fill to capacity.  My skin prickles at the sudden coolness of the air and I quickly reach for my shirt when I feel Julian’s gaze on my back.  I pull the soft fabric over my head and turn just in time to catch him squeezing his eye shut again.

“You peeked!”  I exclaim with a hushed cry, so as not to disturb our host.  However, the way my lips tug into a grin give me away as I swat at Julian who only smirks wider, pulling me down onto the bed with him.

“I’m sorry, I couldn’t help myself.”  He says apologetically and pulls me closer, pressing his lips sweetly to mine.  I settle against the pillows and let Julian tuck the blanket around my shoulder.  Laying on his side facing me he threads his fingers through my loose hair before tracing the line of my jaw and tilting my chin up.  “I hope I’m not coming on too strong,” he murmurs, and the way he looks so intently into my mismatched eyes makes me feel suddenly self-conscious, I almost turn my face away.

“Rare and beautiful” he whispers, holding my chin so I can’t look away.  At his words I feel my heart pick up, no doubt flooding my face with colour again.  A ghost of a smile touches Julian’s features and his eye lowers.  

“Oh how I’d love to make something real with you.”  His lips brush against mine, feather light as he speaks.  “If only there was more time.”  He sighs and a stray strand of thick hair falls over his brow.  I frown and gently reach up to brush it away.  He stiffens slightly at my touch before chuckling nervously.  “Joss… don’t mind me, I’m just rambling.  I must really be exhausted.”

He gently caresses my cheek with his thumb before drawing me closer, kissing me once more.  He lingers as if afraid I’ll disappear any moment.  “Goodnight Joss,” he finally murmurs before reluctantly turning over.

I turn to extinguish the candle near the bed before laying back and closing my eyes.  Sleep is slow in coming as a torrent of unanswered questions buffet my mind.  Why did Asra curse Julian?  They were obviously lovers once, weren’t they?  When I asked Asra about him, even though he promised to be more honest with me, his answer was so cryptic that it really didn’t answer my question at all.  Why also had Julian returned to the city, and what had he meant about not remembering if he’d murdered the Count?  Could it have something to do with my own missing memories?  

My head is starting to ache and I squeeze my eyes shut tighter, trying to ignore the questions for the time being.  There is one thing I feel that I do know… I don’t believe the man next to me is the murderer I seek.  Although, I realize wryly that my judgement has become rather clouded after the events of the night.  Even though I barely know him, I don’t want Julian to be guilty.  I press my face against his back and breathe deeply, letting his steady breathing lull me toward sleep.

A quick JulianxApprentice fic based on that one post. 

Moira sat on the hospital bed, waiting for their doctor. The room was small, with random medical posters on the wall. One described the most effective way to wash one’s hands, another had the human skeleton with the bones labelled. Typical doctor posters, they thought.

Their idle thoughts were interrupted by a knock on the door.

“Moira?” The voice on the other side of the door was low and somewhat slow, almost like a drawl. “May I come in?”

“Come on in,” they responded, eyes now watching the door.

A man in a lab coat walked in. His hair was short and red, with an asymmetrical cut. Was that a typical doctor-approved hairstyle? But even more interesting was his face - well, in an objective kind of way, they meant! Most doctors don’t walk around with an eye patch, or purple eyeshadow, or - maybe a rouge blush? Moira wasn’t sure if doctors were allowed to wear make up, but if they weren’t glad no one stopped this one -

“Moira? Did you hear me?”

His voice broke their trance. He must have been talking since he walked in, because he already had his gloves and stethoscope on. They did their best to hide their blush but couldn’t stop themselves from breaking eye contact and pushing their long black hair behind their ear.

“Sorry, I got - I wasn’t paying attention. What did you say?”

The doctor chuckled. “My name is Julian Devorak, and I will be your physician today. If you can take off your jacket, I can start the check up.”

“Oh! Of course.”

Moira mentally kicked themselves for spacing out so hard as they took off their jacket. They’re just here as Doctor Devorak’s patient, there’s no reason to get their hopes up. Moira held in a sigh as they turned back towards the doctor. Who seemed to be staring at them this time.

“Doctor?”

“Ah, right.” Julian approached them, and started the check up. They probably just imagined the slight flush of his cheeks when he turned towards them. Which was fair; they were getting their hopes up. So they just tried to not react when his breath brushed against their cheek as he examined their ear, or when they had to maintain eye contact when he flashed that light into their eyes, or when his fingers gripped their arm while he took their blood pressure. He’d tried to make idle small talk, but they couldn’t really focus on conversation while his green eye watched them so intently.

But then, he put the stethoscope in his ears and pulled up a stool to the bed.

“Alright, Moira, I’m going to take a deep breath.”

They nodded, not trusting their voice right now, and took a deep breath as the flat end of the stethoscope reached their chest. Almost immediately after, Julian’s eyebrows shot up.

“Hm,” he murmured absentmindedly as he continued to listen. The stethoscope dropped to their rib cage, then he stood up to move to their back and asked them to take another deep breath. Then he “hm”-ed again.

“What is it?” Moira couldn’t contain their curiosity any longer.

Julian sat back on the stool and took the stethoscope out of his ears.

“Nothing,” he began, watching them closely. “Your heartbeat is just … faster than average.”

Then he made eye contact and they blushed and he smirked. He smirked and they knew that he knew and he’s probably known since he walked in and they were staring at him and - god were they embarrassed.

“I’m uh - I’m sorry I don’t know what to do about it -”

Julian’s laughter cut them off. “Don’t worry about it, Moira. No harm done.”

He wrote something on a piece of paper and handed it to them.

“Your temperature was a little high, but other than that you seem healthy. Take this and get the medicine, and come back in a few days. I just want to completely sure you’re fine.”

He smiled - and for some reason Moira missed his smirk - and helped them off the bed. They thanked him as they left the room and could already hear their roommate Asra laughing about this.

-------------

Moira got home and told Asra about Doctor Devorak and they were right about exactly how hard he would laugh. He practically doubled over with laughter when they told him how Julian knew why their heart was beating so fast, and Moira was mortified but there was nothing they could do now.

“Oh Asra, shush! I’m embarrassed enough.” They were flushed out of annoyance but really, they walked into this by telling him.

Asra finally stopped laughing long enough to wipe the tears from his eyes and pat his friend’s shoulders.

“Moira, don’t be embarrassed. I think he likes you. You should flirt back.”

“What!,” Moira exclaimed, appalled. Julian was their doctor, how could they ever go back if they flirt with him and he doesn’t actually like them? For all they knew, every other patient he had flirted with him, and they didn’t want to add to that. It probably sucked.

“You should do it. I’m positive it will work out.” Asra’s eyes seemed to dance in amusement. He was truly enjoying this.

“Why are you so sure? Don’t you know that if he rejects me I could literally be bleeding out and I would not go back to that hospital.”

At that, Asra chuckled. “Trust me. He sounds just like…. An old friend I used to have. Just, next time you see him, flirt back.”

Asra winked, and seemed all knowing in that moment. That relieved Moira just a little. Maybe … they would flirt back.

-------------

A few days later, Moira was back at the hospital, under Julian’s gaze - under Julian’s care yet again. They’d taken the medicine from earlier and was now awaiting Julian’s opinion on their health.

Julian had the stethoscope out again. He didn’t need to take their heart rate again, did he? Was he teasing them? Did he really know?

“Huh, still a little fast,” he looked up at them, a ghost of a smirk on his stupid, smug, hot face. “Do I make you nervous?”

Moira looked away, unable to hold eye contact, when they remembered Asra urging them to flirt back. They took a deep breath.

“Maybe a little.” They turned back to Julian, whose eyebrows were raised just a little. “You do look … awfully good in your doctor’s coat. I can’t help but think how much better it would look… On my floor.”

Moira held eye contact then, and watched Julian’s eye widen, and his stupid, smug, hot face look not so smug as his face turned almost as red as his hair, and he stumbled back, kicking the stool behind him, and grabbing onto the counter for support. Huh. Maybe they were a little too flirty.

“Moira that’s - I mean well - I wouldn’t disagree but I - No, that’s not what I meant to say -”

As Julian stumbled over his words as hard as he stumbled over the stool, Moira couldn’t help but be a little amused. What was it about seeing this smug doctor so flustered and embarrassed over one pick up line? They weren’t sure, but really started to wonder what would actually look like in their bedroom.

Moira smiled then, slow and steady, as Julian gained his composure.

“Was there anything else, doctor?”

“N-no. You seem to be healthy. I’m glad the medicine worked. You’re, uh, free to go.”

He still seemed a little … well, distracted. Moira got off the bed and, very briefly, touched his arm as they passed. He head turned to their hand almost too quickly, and the red started to return to his cheeks.

“Thanks for the check up. See you next time, Doctor Devorak.”

Moira smirked as he mumbled a goodbye and left the room. They won’t tell Asra he was right tho; Moira wanted to keep the memory of the smug doctor’s blushing face to themselves.
