gang orca with his sleepy snake sboyfriend

pairing: gang orca x male!reader (he/him)

genre: fluff, light comfort

warnings: gang orca, he needs a warning, he makes me have my happy shivers and i love him please love him he deserves it

author's note: i love this man so DAMN MUCH THANK YOU SM FOR THIS-

also, y'all, plz feek free to send in requests! i can't guarantee i'll get to them quick, but i will get to them. there are some that will take me longer for education/research purposes, but i want to be as inclusive as possible, and part of that is having an idea of what y'all would like to see. i love you all!! ❤️

EDIT: i came in to edit bc i wrote this at 2 am and i can see where the exhaustion started beating me-

so he's. a mammal. 🧍 he's warm-blooded. but that doesn't mean he hasn't built up a tolerance for extreme weather conditions. being a hero means working year-round, no excuses or real exceptions unless you're out of commission.

so when you two first met during a fight in the winter months, he was kinda confused as to how you became a hero- especially with how you quickly climbed the charts over the summer without even a slight issue.

you just seemed so... off. and it wasn't until afterwards that he even considered how your quirk effects your body. he was honestly surprised that you still had to be out there when your body was basically trying to get you to shut down just being out in that temperature.

"ah, pardon me if this is a rude question, but-"

"pardon me for cutting you off, but the answer is that i can still fight. i may be a little more sloppy, but we caught the villain, right?"

the way you only took a few moments to warm yourself before rushing back into action was when he first started feeling something.

and eventually you two started talking outside of work, getting to know each other and developing an incredibly deep bond over how you fear being outcasted because of how your quirks scare others off.

it grew. and it grew. and now, here you are, three years later living in the same apartment and proudly wearing the title of the oddest, most surprising power couple of your time.

obviously, after so long, he's educated ss to why you get the way you get in the cold. now his concern is trying to avoid that, especially during hero work.

at first it starts with gentle reminders when he's checked the weather.

reminders like:

"[Name], make sure to take your jacket."

"yeah, it's starting to get colder out. do you have the right clothes?"

"please make sure to take time to warm up when you can, alright, dear?"

but as it gets colder, s t r e s s.

but this is kugo sakamata. is he going to show you stress by smothering? no. no, instead:

cuddles.

HEAR ME OUT-

in the winter months, he's a lot more aware of the areas of the city you cover. he stays alert during patrolling to reassure himself that you aren't curled up in an alley starting to freeze to sleep-

a lot of times it can be frustrating to you because you want to be independent. you want to be able to do hero work without burdening others, especially the man you love most. but then you realize he has a point, and you're caught in this awkward space of wanting independence but needing help. :((

because of this, you start re-developing insecurities of your quirk, which sucks because you were just starting to get past them.

"uh- kugo?"

"hm?"

"you can't notice the - uh... the..."

"shedding?"

"yeah..."

he hates how much you look down on yourself and your quirk, and he honestly wishes he could change society.

a lot of times, he'll reassure you verbally

"you don't need to feel ashamed. it's natural."

"kugo- please-"

"i can't tell. i promise. but even if i could, it wouldn't matter. you're a hero, [Name]. if people can't get over the fact that it's part of the same amazing body of the hero who's saved hundreds - if not throusands - of lives, that's not your fault."

but other times, when he notices it's just not cutting it-

he'll cuddle you-

and in the winter? he's killing multiple birds with one stone (RIP hawks 😔)

not only does he get the satisfaction and reassurance of holding you, but you feel comforted and it's helping better regulate your body temperature. it works as a momentary state of brumation (i learned so much abt snakes bc of this i-) and you're able to relax against him as you soak in as much body heat necessary.

when he CAN'T be around to cuddle you, he makes sure 100% that:

you get cuddles when you get home. he will pull you into his arms as soon as you walk in, and at that point you give into it. most of the time you straight up fall asleep because your body feels two times more worn that it does on the worst summer days.

your winter uniform is always ready to go. he will never let you go on patrol on cold days without that gear. he's not controlling, but that's the one thing he just can't let you do. if your uniform for some reason isn't ready, you're staying home

"darling, it's my job. i have to go, winter outfit or not-"

"without your winter outfit, you won't be able to function on your way down the block, let alone through a fight."

"... i hate it when you're right... you really are such a dilf."

"dilf?"

"...nevermind... anyways, since i'm trapped, might as well keep me warm?"

he cuddles you until he HAS to go on patrol, and when that happens, he tucks you in with three big, warm blankets and adjusts the temperature control to keep the home extra warm for you.

before you move in, he gets a special mattress that also includes mild temperature control.

he literally does everything to make sure you stay warm.

if for any reason things don't work out, he will immediately know. other pros already know to contact him ASAP if they see you unable to perform.

he picks you up, takes you back to the agency, sits you by a heater and wraps one of his big suit jackets around you,,

so warm, so gentle 😩

and yes, hot chocolate/tea.

overall, 10/10, will cuddle you again

gang orca and your healing

pairing: gang orca x adopted!reader (he/him)

genre: comfort fic

warnings: domestic abuse, child abuse, anxiety, dissociation, ptsd (nightmares), and depression

author's notes: if im gonna be honest right now, im probably in the worst place mentally than I've been in a long time. but id be lying if i said this acc hasn't been saving me these past couple months. im sorry for how fuckin heavy this one is but i need to escape a little bit again. so. yeah uh. love y'all stay safe. like in others, do not read if you feel you're not in the right place mentally. 💛

Seriously. It's better at the end, but it's also written in first pov, so please please do not read unless you feel okay to.

hurt. hurt all over; in my chest, tight and consuming; aching and numbing up my hands that fail to stay steady while i stare dead at the ceiling; paralyzing my legs with this fear that no amount of adrenaline could help me run from. but mostly in my head, crashing around in my skull with every beat of my heart while my thoughts go from overwhelming fast to heart-stoppingly silent.

my ears have tried to block out all the noise with a disgusting ringing that only creates a thin filter at best. the words still go in, still process, but their usual blood-rushing ability has fallen second to my current realizations.

this could be it. they're fighting, bad, and there's nothing i can do to stop it from getting worse. i can tell the yelling is only the beginning for now, and that very soon, i could be choking on my last words.

i close my eyes. i allow myself the chance to get a full, fresh breath of air in. if this is it, im not going to go out fighting it. im not going to give another reason to pity me in passing. im tired of acting as if im not exhausted.

as the air reaches my lungs, my chest begins to relax. yet, despite my best efforts, the thrown furniture outside my door causes it to tighten again.

stunned, my breath gets caught, hard, and i begin to choke. i try coughing it out, but exhaling suddenly seems like an impossible task. the filters give and everything is happening at full force for the last time.

this is it. this is it. no, no. it's not supposed to be this way, i can't just-!

im surprised to wake up to screaming. it's loud, piercing, and it sounds like someone is being stabbed to death. i don't know where i am, who's room this is, or why everything feels different. i don't know if im dead, or if im still dying, slowly, and it's not until the room's door is forced open that i realize the screaming in my own.

my throat feels raw, and i am suddenly aware of how uncomfortably sweaty i am, and how hard it is to breathe while im crying like this. i'm still confused, though, and it takes several moments of groggy and quiet coaxing to come to. i still can't stop crying, though, and my chest feels tight. the screaming is done, though.

once i come to more - the tears beginning to slow as my panic becomes shame - i realize it's sensei aizawa who had come in. he's making me breathe with him, but from the way he isn't trying to ground my senses yet, it's clear that he understands he's dealing with the remains of my panic. the rest has been drawn back in as my eyes begin to go distant. dad probably told him about the importance of my calming down before focusing on complete presence.

in the process of depersonalization, i missed the fact that sensei stopped talking about a minute ago. now another voice was reaching to me, but this one managed to pull me back in.

"[Name]. this is kugo." i obviously don't call him kugo, but using it here helps way more than "dad". "aizawa," is all he has to say, and pretty soon sensei is walking out to give us some privacy. im pretty sure i hear someone getting caught and dragged away for being a snoop, but im too drawn in from the warmth in dad's voice to bother caring then.

"[Name]," he repeats. "you don't need to turn the camera on, but mine is on." i look down at the screen and realize i can see him. he looks tired, but he's not in bed or in pajamas. im too lost right now to lecture him. he's there. looking at me because i'm alive. and i'm in my dorm room here at UA and i'm talking to him, my dad, on my sensei's phone. "would you like to do some breathing exercises?"

i didn't respond at first, so he repeated it again. he wasn't angry. he was firm, sure of his words, but he wasn't yelling or raising his voice. it wasn't low, either. it was at the perfect volume to keep me tethered to some semblance of reality.

i shook my head. "would you like to use the spare mattress?" he had to make these suggestions for me. it wasn't that i couldn't make decisions for myself, but it was much easier for him to guide me through this. and the spare mstress is a pull out from the bed i was on that he got for me when he realized my tendency to fall asleep on the couch or floor after s nightmare. i decided that being a little closer to the ground and out of the nightmare mattress would be nice, so i nodded and stood.

i pulled the mattress out before i grabbed the phone again. i got my pillow before laying down. i didn't really want a blanket then. "would you like me to stay?" i put the phone on my chest and looked up at the ceiling. i was already starting to feel a bit more connected, though i knew it'd take much longer until i was back to my complete self.

"mhm," is all i could croak out, but it was met with clear affirmation that he'd heard me. this wasn't the first time this had happened.

nightmares were easy to miss when i'd stay up for hours to listen for anything that could be of risk; another bottle opening, another passive aggressive comment, another heavy pair of footsteps walking towards another tornado of a situation. now, though, that there was peace, i had the chance to sleep long enough to relive the hell.

so no, it wasn't a first and it wouldn't be a last. the guilt started rising to slap me hard into a mania-driven reality, but dad seemed to read my mind.

"you became aware a lot faster. that's a really good sign. you're doing great, son." it was all i needed to be able to close my eyes and not see that room again instantly. "tomorrow is wednesday, so i'll be there to see you after your classes and we can discuss what to take away from this. for now, i will stay on the line so you can rest again." i almost forgot that he was going to help organizing some things for internships, which meant getting to eat dinner with him, something he asked about a week prior.

see, he was the father who did all the research, spoke to all the specialists, and asked all the questions so he could be the best father possible. and when i did my work study with him, he may have become aware of my home life. he may have also done extensive research on how he could help, but after a couple months of staying in touch with me to ensure my safety, he decided to take matters into his own hands (after a lengthy conversation with me, of course.)

all this to say he knew about boundaries. he knew it wouldn't be easy to take in a teenage son whose life had been rooted in pain and neglect. but he was willing to do his fucking best. and so anything deemed a sign of affection or in relation to accepting him as my parent was off the table until i made it clear it was ok. we were moving forward on my terms.

he really was the best.

"i love you, dad." it came out monotonous, missing the warmth i intended to return, but they were still big words. they still hung in the air as i started drifting in and out of sleep, subconsciously fighting it off.

"i love you, too, [Name]."
