Jan Maas anon— you’ve already turned me into a Janchard truther. I would love to hear your thoughts on Moe and Isaac (I am not clever enough to create a ship name for them, though)

Hi Jan Maas Anon!!!!!!!! First of all, I am so proud to have been the one to bring you into the beautiful world of janchard, I truly take pride. Secondly, Moe and Isaac (Bumbadoo? Mosaac? CaptainConspiracy? Idk) is arguably my biggest (but strongest) crack ship. From a Canon standpoint, there's the obvious iconic moment of Isaac calling Moe the fittest guy on the team, and then there's the way these two are so hijinks buddies. Isaac needs someone to help him figure out the votes for Amsterdam? Why not get Bumbercatch to help (even if Moe is passionately anti-democratic)? Isaac wants to dress like a British barrister? Commission Moe to knit a wig. The rest of my feelings about this ship come down to my own interpretations of these characters, Isaac's difficulty with expressing emotion vs Moe's subversion of masculinity, their shared fashion sense, Isaac's quick to anger and Moe's aggressive playing (that one red card) theres other stuff too but thats more my headcanon stuff. Plus there's that one time Isaac picked up moe and spun him around that lives in my heart.

Ao3 Link: Here

Happy Halloween! I hope you're up for something a bit more experimental!

There was a downpour outside. That much Wolf could tell.

Lately, the white-haired youth found it laborious to roll off the bed and step outside. Not like there was anything to do in the living room.

The constant pangs in his head made it worse. Thank God the room he was kept in was just right across the bathroom. It was one of the few acts of mercy he was given in this otherwise appalling situation.

There was a water dispenser installed by the desk, with fresh mugs replaced daily. Lunch was... unusual,  to say the least. Every day, there'd be a lovingly crafted bento box packed with snacks (and sometimes a carton of milk) left on the desk with a post-it note attached,

The cutely worded messages betrayed the sinister implications of Wolf's predicament. They were better suited for husbands leaving for the office or a child about to spend lunchtime for the first time in middle or high school.

It didn't fit the perpetually frowning boy, whose scent still lingered on the pillow next to his.

Wolf first saw him at the end of a recital, cherry blossom orbs full of wonder as the young conductor eye's swept over his roaring audience.

He was a friend of Leonardo, one of his violinists and a second grade. He was the president of the science club, and he confirmed Wolf's newest fanboy to be one of his members.

"A bit shy, that kid. But definitely full of potential." The Italian spoke between drags of sweet-scented cigarettes (like the chronic chain smoker he was, Wolf's nose curled in distaste) one afternoon. "He doesn't talk much, always standing by himself in the corner. But when he gets talking, boy. He's definitely going places someday, maybe even Todai*. Or MIT."

"Never seen him before, and I'm good at recognizing faces." Wolf's eyes scanned the cafeteria and spotted a female underclassman waving at him. He didn't return the gesture. "Is he a transfer student?"

"Try asking your best friend about him," Leonardo winked as he rose from his chair and gathered his tray. "His other best bud seems to be thick as thieves with the kid."

His name was Isaac, and he loved physics.

Wolf had no need to seek the freshman out himself. It was the school darling Napoleon who ambushed him after rehearsal one afternoon, a fidgeting redhead in tow.

Wolf had no patience for his type  — painfully shy and ready to burst with a single poke. Wolf figured Napoleon was used to secondhand embarrassment as the bumbling schoolboy tripped on his own introduction.  

I'm Isaac, and I love physics.  The exact same words.

"N-nice to meet you." he blushed. "I've been coming to your recitals, you see. And I'm-"

Wolf zoned out on the remaining words as he expertly masked his growing disinterest. At least the boy seemed sincere.

The boy brought a sizable bouquet full of gladiolus and lily-of-the-valley. His face must have been burning behind the flowers as he presented them to Wolf.

"H-here." He thrust the bouquet in Wolf's face. "I hope this isn't too much."

He'd been given roses, chocolate, and even stuffed animals from secret admirers, boys and girls alike. But the straightforwardness with which Isaac gifted him the colorful array was novel.

"Danke Schoen." Their fingers touched as Wolf received the offering. Isaac was trembling. "You didn't need to go this far."

"But I- I wanted to!" The boy exclaimed with passion. Wolf was so astonished that he had no time to fight the red blooming across his cheeks.

Visiting the music room outside club hours had been Wolf's habit since his first year. It gave him time to practice and space to breathe new ideas into his compositions.

Before, there was nobody but him and the lustrous grand piano. Isaac became a new addition to his routine, unwelcome.

But only at first.

"Ah, Wolf-senpai. You're still here. Again," He would barge in at the end of every song, after unsuccessfully concealing himself near the door. "You don't ...tire, do you? It's after hours, and you're still fiddling with the piano."

It's the uneasiness in his voice that made the exchange endearing.

"And Leonardo should be looking for you by now." He smirked. "Don't you have science club?"

"Oh, there was nothing much, just a meeting and... stuff. I suppose you don't mind me intruding on your...uh, practice."

Wolf wanted to say he did mind. The line suited someone with a little more dash and charm, like Napoleon, better. The way Isaac stuttered and stumbled on his own words was amusing if only a bit awkward.

Few people could withstand Wolf's aloofness, and most would cower away after the slightest click of a tongue. There was a reason why he was dubbed the 'Ice Prince' by the school population.

The gratuitously assigned title always gave him and Jean (the other Cold Beauty of the School) a good laugh during lunch breaks. Except for the select few, no other person in the entire student body dared to disturb their exclusive, distant bubble of companionship.

Isaac was either admiringly bold or dangerously foolish for inviting himself into Wolf's presence. The music prodigy thought the effort was worth applauding.

Not that it was failing.

"I've got still got some sandwiches here. If you'd like, we can- "

" Sure, I've got some time to spare."  Wolf smiled as he gathered his sheets. Isaac looked like he could drop dead on the spot.

"I didn't know you had this much interest in music,"  Wolf commented one breezy afternoon as they shared earphones on the school's rooftop. Without too much deliberation, he decided to let Isaac listen to his demos.

The boy was surprisingly candid with his critiques on Wolf's compositions, despite being a fanboy (which he refused to admit).

"I grew up on classical music," The boy replied. "Nan always said it contributed to my IQ or something."

Wolf held back a snicker. It was very much Isaac to drop hints of his own superiority, even behind a self-deprecating tone.

"I'm glad you did. Jean doesn't really listen to them. He's hopeless when I ask him for opinions."

Isaac dropped his fork onto the plastic food box with a loud clack.

"You talk to him too?" Wolf imagined Isaac drooping like a puppy. "Of course. He's your best friend."

Wolf only thought it was cute at the time.

"You're living by yourself?"

Isaac nodded as they walked side by side, cherry blossom trees in full bloom along the road. It was the start of a new school year, and Wolf had accepted Isaac's invitation to walk home together that day.

"You should try making unforgettable memories before you graduate." Jean urged him after hearing his best friend's recent development with his new best friend.  "It's not often you get the chance to score with your favorite underclassman."

"Sure. Good luck scoring with Napoleon, yourself."

Wolf barely took notice of his surroundings as he was led to a massive apartment building. Even he knew no student would be able to rent their 1DK* units on part-time wage and parental subsidy.

"You're not the only one with fat wads of dosh." Isaac playfully smirked as he opened the door to his apartment.

Wolf could feel his heart thumping against his chest as he took his first step into the threshold.

There was no window to the outside world besides the TV. His iPhone was stashed away somewhere in this godforsaken apartment, most likely dismantled beyond repair.

Wolf curled on the too-small couch as the sound of rain muffled whatever trite noises the TV made. These days, there was nothing to watch but variety shows and drama.

He had no stomach for anime. His jailer, however, would drag him out to eat dinner while watching his favorite series.

He'd laugh and talk to him as if this was normal. Wolf supposed it was, for the aberrant. Had he been a girl, the freak would somehow bring get his hands on a marriage registration form and force him to sign it.

Alright, that was harsh. But judging from Wolf's current circumstances, maybe his prejudice towards the other boy wasn't entirely unjustified.

He fell for his kindness, and his hormonal, teenage self drove sealed his fate. What he thought was a mutual exchange between two touch-starved boys turned into a one-way transaction with no way out.

Wolf laid down on his back. The shadows playing across the ceiling gave him a sense of deja vu.

He could still feel the weight of a warm body on his own and the scent of strawberries clinging to his black sweater. His eyes and head were full of nothing but Isaac, Isaac, Isaa-

If that afternoon felt like a dream, then this must be a nightmare. The next time he opened his eyes, he would be back in his own bedroom, Nannerl's voice waking him from outside the door.

"Where on earth did you manage to get that? You don't have a sister."

"Be still, "Isaac admonished, leaning so close that he was partially sitting on Wolf's lap. "You don't want me to smear this all over your face."

You're not answering my question.  Wolf wanted to know why Isaac was able to produce a glossy lip tint from his bedroom. He'd seen girls at his school carrying that particular brand and type. It became en vogue several months ago, and he still remembered his sister saying it was a best-seller.

Why a schoolboy with no girlfriend kept one in his bedroom, he didn't know. If this were somebody else, Wolf wouldn't pry. But this was Isaac.

He needed to know more about him. Peel away his layers and uncover the many different faces no one else would ever see.

Wolf put up mock resistance as the pointed applicator (apple-scented. Curious.) drew closer to his lips. Knowing that struggling would only lead him into having one of his eyes poked, the taller boy decided to lay down and let Isaac finish the job.

He gently swept the tint over Wolf's lips back and forth until he was satisfied. He reared back to look at his handiwork adoringly.

"Ah, as I thought, you look perfect in red." Isaac was quick to don back his signature frown. Only this time, there was a furious blush spreading across his cheeks.

Wolf said nothing as he pulled Isaac's tie until dry lips crashed on his lacquered own. The younger boy was just as eager as he was, an inquisitive tongue slipping into Wolf's welcoming mouth.

"I haven't seen you as often lately." Isaac caught him one day in the shoe changing area. "Been going somewhere?"

Wolf smoothly fought his desire to brush back Isaac's bangs from his forehead. "I'm now a third-year, and I'm attending the university prep class. I need to devote my time to studying."

"Is that why you're hanging with Leonardo-senpai all the time in the library?"

"What do you think? Of course," Wolf rushed towards the exit. He had no time for Isaac's nagging. "My parents have high expectations of me, you know."

"But what about your music?"

Wolf stopped in his tracks and turned toward the panting boy. "What about it?"

"I thought you got a recommendation from a music school somewhere. Why do you need to spend all your time studying?" the redhead yelled, his outburst a rare display of candid emotion.

What's with this naivety you're suddenly showing me?  "My portfolio alone won't be enough to get me into a good school. I also need good grades to help me pass. I thought that's obvious, especially to you."

No high-achieving student like Isaac would suddenly fret over having to achieve higher grades to get to a reputable university.

I thought you wanted to get into astrophysics yourself? Does it not require outstanding grades?

"Isaac, what-"

"Then, does that mean you'll stop going to the music room and play like you used to?" Isaac strode to catch up with Wolf. "Does that mean I can't come and see you anymore?"

Wolf reached out and grabbed Isaac's sides, unaware of the attention they drew from bystanders.  "If that's what you're worried about," he sighed. "We can go on weekends when I'm able. How does that sound?"

He didn't like the slight trembling of Isaac's lips. Here, he couldn't kiss it away. Not if it meant risking becoming the topic of gossip among students for many months to come

Wolf's phone vibrated for the fifth time over the last twenty minutes.

"Are you not picking that up?" Jean pointed at the device, eliciting a groan from its owner.

"That's just Isaac. Ignore it." The white-haired youth snatched his phone and switched on silent mode. "He's just a lot clingier lately."

"Why don't you block him? I'm sure this is not the first time." Jean regarded him calmly, his eyes focused on the problem that they were in the middle of solving. "Doesn't it bother you too when you're studying alone?"

"That's a little too harsh, even for Isaac." Wolf threw the phone over his head, and it landed on the bed with a soft thud. "Besides, weren't you the one shoving me towards him?"

Jean tapped the butt of his pencil against his lips. "I didn't expect it would turn into anything like this."

"Like what?"

"That he'd turn out to be this... possessive." Jean selected his words carefully. "I'm surprised you even let him go this far."

Wolf sighed. His friend was right. Nobody had ever driven him up the wall quite like Isaac. "He's always been lonely," Wolf concluded, violet orbs focusing on the mechanical pencil he was twirling. "I can't just leave him alone, can I?"

"Even so," Jean murmured. "I can't bear to see you like this. I've seen you approached by admirers before, and you turned them down all down without trouble."

What's so different about him? was the real question he didn't ask.

"He's... entertaining, to be honest. Makes you want to take care of him." Wolf explained, matter-of-factly. There wasn't a single tinge of red on his cheeks. "But, to be honest, his clinginess does irk me a bit."

Jean came over to ask help from Wolf for his math homework. He wasn't here to listen to him drawling about his (honestly hopeless) love life.

Wolf brought his attention back to the workbook they had abandoned. His brows were knitted in thought.

"You think it's a good idea to call it quits with Isaac?"

After a while, the rain finally quieted down, nearly lulling Wolf to sleep. Losing himself to slumber was the easiest, least painful way to deal with this hallucination-gone-horribly-real.  

There was light rain on the day he asked Isaac to talk in a cafe not too far from here. Wolf remembered it like it was only yesterday. There was the posh interior, girls from the nearby Catholic school giggling at them, the aftertaste of the cafe au lait he ordered. He could vividly picture the delicately plated apple pancake in front of Isaac, piping hot and enticing.

He would never forget phantom tears prickling in the corner of Isaac's rosy eyes.

Everything considered, he did what he'd always done: tell the other they needed to part ways, calmly explain the reason why, and set boundaries. "I won't be answering your calls or messages, and I won't be waiting around for you after school."

"I will no longer be visiting the music room. You won't find me there."

Unexpectedly, the boy only heaved a sigh and shook his head. No screaming or begging involved.

"I see. I had a feeling it would turn out this way." He continued to finish his dessert silently.

Perhaps it was out of genuine love (or even pity) that he brusquely offered to walk Isaac back to his apartment building one last time. Wolf didn't consider himself a poor judge of character, so it must be his heart winning over his head.

And what a blunder that was.

He nearly collapsed onto Isaac's side, barely listening to the boy fretting and calling to him in distress. "Senpai, what's the matter? You look pale. Let's get you inside so you can lie down."

The unwitting Wolf was led straight into his awaiting den.

Wolf awoke to the sound of the front door unlocking and a quiet I'm home,  followed by some shuffling and other sorts of ruckus the clumsy boy caused.

Footsteps approached the couch he laid on. His heart no longer throbbed like crazy by now whenever the other came near.

"I'm home, Wolf. Why didn't you answer?"

His boyish voice used to be the reason why he was drawn to Isaac. But now, it only made his skin crawl. Wolf seethed and averted his eyes as far away as possible from his 'guardian', wishing he could regurgitate his lunch all over the plush carpet.

"Are you still sulking? Don't be. It doesn't become that lovely face of yours."

If you weren't drugging me daily, I would have strangled you.

"Were you lonely without me? It can get pretty dull as dishwater 'round here." Wolf tried to distract himself from the hands, grabbing him and propping himself up. " 'suppose it's about time I get you a keyboard to play. It'll be like the old days."

I wish I never let you inside the music room that day.

Cold fingers combed through unruly silver locks. "This is all 'Leon's fault. Bummer. He insisted on waiting for Jean-senpai."

Isaac squeezed himself into space next to Wolf's rigid figure. The elder closed his eyes as an arm snaked its way around his waist. "Yeah, we couldn't exactly run under heavy rain."

Wolf's eyes were fixed on the screen. Would there ever be a chance of his face showing on breaking news, a shot of his parents crying over their missing son, or interviews with fellow students from his school?

Anything but the white noise the darned TV emitted. Or the unwanted hand now caressing his burning cheek.

Poor sod looked like he was missing you for real. Napoleon invited him to walk home with us because he 'couldn't bear to see him in distress." His voice dropped into a whisper. "But if you ask me."

"They're prolly trading making out in some dark alley because Jean-senpai can't stand being alone,"  Isaac mocked. Every syllable pouring out of his lips made Wolf's stomach churn. "I take back what I said about him missing you. He just wants dick in him, thinking it'll help him get better."

The plastic remote clattered on an uncovered part of the wooden floor. Wolf wanted to pry away his imprisoner's claws from his shoulder. Fingers that used to radiate heat all over his skin now left nothing but disgust in their wake.

"He likes to pretend he's all prim and proper when really, he's just an attention-seeking slag." The venom was so palpable and potent in his voice that it made Wolf overlook the fact that the bastard was muttering directly against the back of his neck. "I don't get why you kept putting up with him, that fraud."

Nobody else would ever be this genuine to you, Wolf-senpai.  So the boy mumbled to him every night before sleep.

All sheepish pretenses were thrown and cast aside as conveniently as changing clothes. Wolves were affectionate creatures, the young composer once read.

But they're still wolves.

"I don't know if you'd be fine with electric keyboards," Isaac sighed into his hair. "If I had more money, I'd buy you a real red piano  — the polished kind that looks like a toy. Ah, I used to see them all the time at a toy store when I was a kid."

Isaac's delirious rambling convinced Wolf that he wasn't the madman. That this was real and that there was no waking up from this long, bad dream —

Wolf violently shut his eyes as Isaac drew him closer, tighter. To Wolf's impaired senses, Isaac's words were losing to the sound of rain. There was a downpour outside.

" I found a picture of you from when you were in middle school. You were already stunning, sitting in front of your family's white piano." He went on. "It's always white, grey, light blue. Ever thought that you'd look perfectly good in red?"

I originally planned this to be a shorter fic from Isaac's perspective, but I switched to Mozart's instead and got carried away.

Easy Breezy (Mozart x Isaac, rated M)

Isaac struggled to adjust his position on top of Mozart, his face crumpling in embarrassment. The composer, meanwhile, observed the flustered physicist impassively.

"I have no idea what you're trying to do here," he drawled in a mock bored tone. "What did the two buffoons tell you this time?"

"So you've never been bedded? Not once?" Arthur gasped. "Judging from old Wolfie's inclinations, I thought he'd be the one doing the shagging."

"Indeed. Imagine being held by someone as alluring as Mozart." Dazai cooed. "Ai-Kun, how blessed you are."

Isaac buried his face in his sweaty palms, not daring to look down and meet with Mozart's lavender gaze. He could've just asked and not.... and not suddenly tackle him on the bed and grope around awkwardly.

"I'll kill them both later," Mozart sighed. "But first."

Mozart reversed their positions so that he was the one looming over Isaac. From above, Mozart could see his lover's cherry blossom eyes glazing with both dread and excitement. The sight prompted his fangs to emerge.

"I'm going to destroy you," Mozart whispered next to Isaac's reddening ear.

The smaller man could do no more than moan as sharp teeth penetrated his bare shoulder.

Conversation Over (Isaac x Mozart Modern AU)

Characters: Isaac Newton and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart from Ikemen Vampire, some OCs

Pairings: Isaac x Mozart

Rating: T 

This is a companion piece to Stolen Batteries. Also available on Ao3.

Take out your heart and let it sit in the freezer.

Wolf lifted his head from the crook of his arm and stared into the darkness of his apartment.

Well, if it weren’t for the sunlight filtering in from the window. Reluctantly, the young composer rose from his chair to close the curtains.

Wolf hated the city lights. To him, they were nothing but noise when contrasted against the dark, unpolluted skies of the countryside.

“This is the best condition for stargazing.” The young man in front of him beamed as he set up the telescope.

That was another reason why Wolf kept the curtains shut throughout the entire night.

His surroundings were silent, save for the distant noise of traffic down below. Begrudgingly, Wolf admitted that his father had a point in pushing him this far. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have received enough commission to rent this high-rise apartment, with all its perks.

“Must be great having included housekeeping and laundry,” a voice called from the bathroom. “You can doss around on weekends and catch some sleep.”

Wolf returned to his desk and took a swig of cold, bitter coffee. Drowsily, he reached for his iPhone and unlocked it. It was 8 a.m. And there were three missed calls from Antonio.

That geezer. Immediately, Wolf pressed ‘call’ and barked to the other man. “What business do you have calling me this early?”

“Wolf! Good to know you’re already up and running!” Antonio greeted him cheerfully with his trademark raspy voice. “Get to the studio. There’s some trouble with the lyrics for the final track in the soundtrack.” 

“Lyrics? You think I’m a pop singer or something?”

“You- argh! We haven’t got time!” Antonio yelled. “Come on, Wolf. Help me out here!”

The white-haired youth sat down and stared at the hardwood floor in thought. He wasn’t in the mood to hear the old man rave, but taking a break from composing and seeing what his colleagues were up to seemed like a savory idea.

Better than wallowing alone in this empty apartment, at least.

“Alright. Give me an hour.” He sighed.

Wolf stared into blank space as Antonio and Cerise, the producer, went back-and-forth with the two girls over some lyrics sheet. Compared to Cerise’s composed tone, Antonio’s rankling voice was an irritant to his ears.

“Look, I understand you feel the need to do some experimentation with this piece,” the dark-skinned woman spoke coolly to the fuming man. “But you gotta at least listen to what the girls want. This is their song, after all.”

“You, you don’t get it!” Antonio yapped. “Don’t you want to produce something more than uninspired bops that the billboards churn every month or so?”

“If we’re talking about direction, then we need to go back to the lyrics and the impression you wanted to make,” Cerise turned to Bo-ram, one of the singers. “What did you have in mind while writing this?”

“Well,��� Bo-ram shuffled through the notes and pointed at one of the papers. “It’s not made for any particular scene or anything. We just thought it’d fit these two characters…”

Wolf leaned back in his seat and gazed at the ceiling, propriety be damned. It wasn’t as if they acknowledged him or anything.

“You’re kinda quiet today, Wolf. Something the matter?” Cerise suddenly called to him with a hint of concern.

The young composer returned his attention to the bickering group, who were now gawking at him in silence.

“Eh, don’t mind him.” Antonio waved. “He’s gotten his panties in a twist since last week.”

You were the one who called me here, dummkopf. “Watch it.”

Although, had it really been only over a week?

Wolf dismissed the thought, “Let’s get to the recording booth, then. I want to hear what it sounds like." 

Wolf closed his eyes as he listened through the entire song.

While it wasn’t something that he’d composed (mainstream pop wasn’t exactly his cup of tea), but he had to admit that it was easy on the ears and that the vocals were indeed powerful. While he didn’t have much faith in the girls at first, they’d really outdone themselves this time.

"What’s the problem then?” He turned to Cerise and Antonio.

“The problem,” Cerise flashed a dry smirk. “Is that this guy here wants to add another rap on top of that existing rap.”

“You don’t understand!” The other man screeched. “I’m doing this for Bo-ram’s favor. I mean, the way she raps!”

You know jack about rap. Wolf wanted to say. Neither do I, to be honest.

While he did show some interest in rap once in a while, he never really took the plunge. Wherever his heart led, his brain would follow. There was simply not enough room for rap on top of his piling lists of concerns, both musical and not.

But Antonio was right. There was something in the way Bo-ram fired her words. He had to be sure.

“Let me hear that rap one more time,” Wolf instructed. “Without music.”

Bo-Ram did as she was told, under the strict man’s scrutinizing gaze. But even that wasn’t enough. “Again, with music.” He demanded.

Wolf listened intently to every word Bo-ram fired. It wasn’t just her (admittedly, brilliant) play of words and rhythm, but there was also her intensity with which she uttered her lines. He never once pictured anybody conveying such raw energy through meticulously crafted strings of words.

“What was the idea behind the song, again?” He asked Cerise pointedly.

“Oh, it’s about the game’s main character separating with his first girlfriend and some leftover  feelings.”

Leftover feelings.

Clearly, the rapper knew how to speak from the character’s point of view. She was his mouthpiece —or was that the other way around?

To him, she was rapping all her intent and emotion to a phantom —someone who wasn’t part of the audience. He supposed that he and the rapper had a lot in common. Even the most amateur of listeners could pick up all his emotions in every stroke, every note that flowed through his fingers. 

The audience was aware of his desires, but for whom?

They could build an image from bits of emotion they managed to gather, but never the entire portrait. The song is a fragment of stories, painting disjointed scenes of strife and peace without telling the tale in its entirety.

Wolf picked up his pen and set it on the paper. He rarely ever put his emotions into words, but for some reason, just this once, he wanted to try.

"Give me a second. I think I can come up with something.”

In the quiet of the next room over, Wolf stared at the blank sheet, his trembling hands capping and uncapping his pen.

Leftover feelings were not something he dealt with often since separations, throughout his history, were clean and impersonal, in his own words.

He had so far lived up to his reputation as an ice king, cold. So why? 

It never mattered to him who pulled the trigger and left the other to bleed. Wolf wasn’t always harsh. His upbringing compelled him to apologize when he needed to (with a straight face, of course), and leave. The sooner, the better.

He always made sure there were no pieces left to pick.

So why? He twirled the pen between his fingers. Why? Why? Why?

He loathed the feeling of waking up to an empty apartment. He wished for the physicist to step out of his door again, his hair all ruffled and eyes surrounded by dark circles after pulling another all-nighter. 

How ugly he looked as he sat on the table, scowling at his coffee mug and muttering about accidentally deleting parts of his thesis draft or complaining about his nagging supervisor.

In that window of time, when the other man let his guard down and showed his humanity was when Wolf felt most normal.  

It was painful seeing him stumble along imaginary walls that he erected himself. So much so that the rare (turned not-so-rare) moments when he coaxed his little hedgehog with soothing whispers was rewarding in its own.

Those eyes the color of cherry-blossom (not him, it was one of Napoleon’s girlfriends pointing it out) always looked like they were on the verge of tears. But they beamed even brighter than a supernova the moment he launched into one of his rants about the position of stars and the latest astronomical findings.

He once thought they looked like glass, but really they were a mirror. A mirror he painfully admitted wanted to see himself reflected on. Always.

He knew full well he didn’t deserve any of that.

Wolf was never new to spouting blunt nonsense— to harming people. It was a necessary evil for him to get by amid deadlines and obligations from his father in Vienna. It was his power and weakness. 

Whatever good he had with any of his previous partners, Wolf always knew there would be a point where they’d have to part. That was that. By the time he even uttered farewell, there were none of these leftover feelings that Cerise and Bo-ram talked about.

There was always a goodbye , and despite what people think of him, a sorry .  The latter was often devoid of weight, to be honest.

And yet the heaviest one was the one he couldn’t say out loud.

It’s never them, it’s me. Wolf scratched the pen over and over until it left behind a yarn of angry black lines. It’s not you, it’s me.

For the first time in his solitary excuse of a life, he felt pain over a wound he knew for sure he had inflicted on someone else. 

Sighing, he picked up the pen and began to scribble the lyrics— no, words he meant to say.

Isaac, I…

“I don’t think that part needed any rap. Keep it that way.”

“Eh, are you sure? The girls love it, Cerise loves it and so do I! What — ”

“I’m sure. The song is good enough as it is. Tell that to the girls.”

Some words are best kept to yourself.

im screaming this is the same person from longingkisses btw and ur new mosaac fic lives in my brain the motif with red is so genius i genuinely love yandere isaac and wolf who just. couldnt stop. are there.... any more thoughts on them.... 👁

I revisited this fanfic sometime ago and decided to talk abt it now in case I forgot! Ahem. 

Please note that my headcanons only apply to my yandere AU and that particular AU only. You can adopt some if you’re planning to make yandere!Isaac yourself

Imagine Isaac being his usual tsundere self, being shy yet kinda standoffish at the same time. He meets Wolf, who’s also not into people despite being more sociable. There wasn’t really any chemistry between them at first

But as time goes on, Wolf came to fall in love with Isaac despite the warning signs.

Wolf finds it cute that’s Isaac tripping all over himself just to impress him. Before he even realizes it, he’s doting on Isaac. He likes to take Isaac to movies and fancy restaurants and such. Isaac’s invited him to stargaze more than once.

Isaac once made Wolf a bento but he’s a lethal chef so ofc it came out badly. Wolf consoled him by saying he can’t cook either

Wolf insists on keeping their relationship a secret, which probably helps drive Isaac into yandere mode

Isaac secretly hates the attention Wolf gets from his admirers. Instead of getting visibly jealous in a cutesy, otome male lead-ish way, he’s just silent and endures the whole thing. 

His resentment only grows and extends to Wolf’s other relationships. Including his friendship with Jean.

He wants to take down Jean, but doubts himself because the dude is an athlete. He doesn’t really care that he’s hurting Napoleon’s prospective boyfriend. In this AU he doesn’t really care about anyone but Wolf

The only person Isaac doesn’t particularly mind is Leonardo, who helped Isaac when he first moved to their high school.

Isaac bought that red lip tint just for Wolf. He also keeps bottles of nail polish to use on Wolf.

After being confined, Wolf worries day and night about his exams and preparations for uni. Only time will tell if he ever gets out of that apartment alive.

Also, some stuff abt the fanfic’s plot itself (TW Character death and Isaac murdering people)

I originally intended to include a segment in which Arthur comes barging into Isaac’s apartment.

He says he’s there because he misses Isaac, his fellow Brit kouhai (underclassman) but is actually there to snoop around because he’s been investigating Mo’s disappearance.

But then Isaac finds out, whacks him with a golf club or baseball bat, and D-words him.

Just when he thinks he’s done getting rid of the body (idk maybe he chops off the remains and stuff them in a box or something inside his closet), Jean and Napoleon suddenly come in and now Isaac has to rethink his tactics because he can’t take down two athletes with a golf club or a knife

Why he thinks immediately think about offing them instead of telling them to go away from behind the door and visit him another time, idk. Isaac probably got high on the thrill of murder

I decided not to include them because action scenes take a lot of work (my schedule’s pretty tight back then)  and my British-English is wack.

I included the Japanese honorifics on purpose because I wanted to capture that shoujo/j-horror aesthetics down pat. Isaac’s ramblings towards the end was also designed that way because yanderes in manga often say stuff that don’t make sense 

You guys got any Isaac x Mozart headcanons yourselves? Please share them with me cuz they’re my favorite (aside from Jeanpoleon and Nobukichou)

[arsnovacadenza]

Thank you for waiting, anon! It was so nice finding this message in this inbox since I’d been dying to do something about this pairing. Most of the headcanons I already have are for my modern AU, but let’s see if I can come up with something for the canon timeline.

Inspired by the One Year Anniversary event story: Isaac teaches at the university, and he likes to take Mozart on culinary dates to show him what he and the students like to eat around campus. 

Mozart is hesitant at first, but then acknowledges that the food they sell around campus are just as wholesome and hearty as Sebastian’s cook (probably even heartier than the luxurious food he used to have in his previous life).

Mozart, out of the blue, suddenly announces that he’d like to try sleeping in Isaac’s room. Of course, he doesn’t mention anything about sharing the bed. Isaac, confused and flustered at the same time, decides to busy himself by fixing MC’s watch that Leo showed to him.

 Mozart lies in bed, carefully stroking Harry (who’s snuggled on his chest) while he watches Isaac’s serious-looking profile. He secretly adores it.

Isaac himself is awed by Mozart’s ability to handle people. Seeing him addressing his admirers is one thing, but Isaac becomes completely smitten when Mozart puts on an act for that one duke  in his own route.

During the early stages of his relationship with the composer, Isaac (very tsundere-ly, mind you) pesters Sebastian and MC for information on Mozart. Sebastian, being the little shit that he is, acts all secretive and directs Isaac to Napoleon, who’s really good friends with Jean who’s Mozart’s best friend.

So Isaac follows Jean around every time he’s done sparring with Napoleon.

 Jean himself is weirded out at first, but starts to warm up to Isaac because he thinks they’re kindred souls (being socially awkward and all).

Of course Napoleon would be involved and pulling some of the strings. Jean would report on Isaac and Mozart’s progress during their, ahem, meetings.

As Isaac’s relationship with Mozart progresses, his relationship with Arthur and Dazai also somewhat changes. Arthur is still a huge tease, but now he directs his attention more towards Mozart, probing his feelings and whatnot. 

Dazai, on the other hand, is secretly supportive and tries to help the couple whenever he can without getting directly involved.

That’s all for now? Boy suddenly everything got too long.

Send me more questions about shipping headcanons! I’ll see if I can answer them! I also have headcanons for my modern AU if y’all are interested!

Ikemen Vampire Isaac x Mozart fanfic- Stolen Batteries

Characters: Isaac Newton and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart from Ikemen Vampire

Pairings: Isaac x Mozart

Rating: T (for cursing)

Challenge: Unappreciated Character Month/Ships by @unappreciatedotomelove

Prompt: Keeping a love interest at arms’ length

 Treat your feelings like sad love songs in an album.

10 p.m was too early for bed. At least, not to Isaac, who had spent the past two weeks working his thesis, right up to the crack of dawn.

Or the asscrack of dawn, as his colleague Robert liked to call it.

Isaac should've been able to rest tonight. He'd already submitted his thesis on time. There was no need to spend more nights reeling in from migraine and overdosing on coffee. 

Arthur, his annoying roommate, wasn't here. Knowing him, he was probably off somewhere with his grumpy, Dutch not-boyfriend, or that Japanese who enjoys waxing poetic as much as he throws disturbing, nihilistic quotes (most definitely Arthur's side bitch, if Isaac were to be blunt). 

At least that bastard swinger Arthur had a place to go to when he felt alone. 

With no one to talk to, (Napoleon mentioned tuning in early since he had an important meeting tomorrow) and no desire to make whatever half-edible abomination he can whip up in his kitchenette, he forced himself to sleep. At least, that had been the plan.

There was nothing to doom scroll through his phone, either. He'd done enough damage on Amazon with that Celestron he hadn't even unpacked. The aftereffects of this afternoon's migraine made Isaac feel reluctant to grab his earphones and play his usual lullaby.

The one that he liked to play.

Isaac hated himself for letting the bastard influence him into downloading Spotify and making a playlist entirely consisting of his covers. There had been classic pieces, yes, but there were also some Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole in there. Isaac even secretly put in songs from obscure German indie bands that the music prodigy liked but refused to admit. That made him hum along to those notes in the lab.

He snatched Isaac's phone and scrolled through his music player. Tutting, he criticized his 'crude' taste in music, completely oblivious that those rock bands kept Isaac company when his middle school peers didn't.

 "I thought you grew up on classical music," The man grinned as he scrolled down. "I wonder what nourished that supercomputer brain of yours."

 "Fish and chips," Isaac reached out to grab his old Samsung back, nearly falling onto the other man's lap in the process. "Were you complimenting or mocking me?"

 "Take that however you like," Light violet eyes flickered with amusement

Isaac picked up his phone from the floor. The battery's well over 15%. Soon, it will die, and there will be nothing left to do but sleep. Of all things to do, WhatsApp was the first he decided to open.

There were no new messages but nonsense from the Master program's group. Some were from his family, while another was an unread message from Napoleon. 

His chat with "Wolfie" had somehow sunk far down the bottom. Thinking that he was strong enough to let it slide, Isaac unpinned him after a dispassionate, almost one-way chat that led him feeling lonelier than before.

Isaac was prone to having quiet meltdowns in his room, or ranting his brains out to Napoleon, (he once broke down in front of his supervisor, Leonardo, for fuck's sake!). Wolf, on the other hand, was a mature man who kept his troubles to himself and put forth the brightest artificial smile he could muster in front of his colleagues and audience.

And treated the people who cared for him most with cold a cold shoulder.

Isaac thought he was immune to insults. They defined his relationship with Robert and Gottfried. Silent treatment, on the other hand, was another form of offense entirely. He loathed how his schoolmates eyed him disdainfully, keeping to themselves and leaving him out in the cold. Isaac still didn't like it when the man he supposedly fancied did the same.

To hell with your concerts, your recitals, whatever they are. Isaac squeezed his eyes shut. You can trip over yourself if you refuse to even talk to me, you stuffy, insufferable twit. 

Isaac can continue cursing at the man to kingdom come. But it'll never erase that strange, inexplicable longing as the days go by without even a hoot from Wolf.

With or without his thesis, Isaac found no purpose in the days that followed. The thought of sending the first message still lingered at the back of his mind. But rambling to his hedgehog about how much he hated the man and himself for being a coward felt better.

Isaac buried his face in the pillow with a sigh.

Be that brilliant, rising star you're always meant to be. All I can do now is gaze at you as you trail away even farther.

Until you finally disappear from my sight.

Mozart: You look cute when you're angry.

Isaac: Oh yeah? 'Cause I'm going to get really fucking adorable

All these Halloween prompts are just tempting me to write Mosaac ft Devilman Crybaby.

Idk who even follows Devilman anymore.

Some Modern Isaac x Mozart AU Headcanons because why not

when they begin chatting each other daily, Isaac’s the one who’s all awkward and anxious at first. He’s afraid of offending Mozart and that the guy would stop sending him messages completely

Mozart is secretly guilty because he’s really just been busy (as well as dealing with other issues he’d rather keep from Isaac)

Mozart, on the other hand, is more careless with his words when chatting with Isaac because he’s so fed up with having to send polite messages to associates every day

Mozart is the type to pour his heart out at night and Isaac stays up all night just for him

Isaac is a disaster gay (still undecided on his spectrum rn) who’s pure and secretly devoted despite his tsundere-ness while Mozart is a mature man who’s more accepting of his sexuality but trips over romantic expressions. Still pure (though not as dramatic as Isaac).

Isaac still hangs on video game and nerd cultures and Mozart teases him relentlessly about them (he thinks it’s cute tho, how Isaac is so devoted to certain stuff)

Isaac takes him to a comic/nerd convention and Mozart is shook. Everyone wants to take a picture with him because he’s so pretty.

Isaac doesn’t keep Schelm in his apartment. Instead, the owl lives in a bird cafe where Mozart frequently visits. Isaac teases him a lot about this

Mozart x Isaac fanfic preview and title selection

"This is the best condition for stargazing." The young man in front of him beamed as he set up the telescope.

That was another reason why Wolf kept the curtains shut throughout the entire night.

His surroundings were silent, save for the distant noise of traffic down below. Begrudgingly, Wolf admitted that his father had a point in pushing him this far. Otherwise, he wouldn't have received enough commission to rent this high-rise apartment, with all its perks.

"Must be great having included housekeeping and laundry," a voice called from the bathroom. "You can doss around on weekends and catch some sleep."

Wolf returned to his desk and took a swig of cold, bitter coffee...

I need your help. For my next Mozart x Isaac angst fic which title works better?Broken Melody or Conversation Over?

[arsnovacadenza]

It’s not that I'm afraid of hurting him, I just don’t want to be hurt

Mozart x Isaac  quotes from Hyolyn’s “youknowbetter”

“I’m used to something like this. In the end, I’ll be alone anyway”

“I could have been happy. But I think at some point, I refused it.”

“I thought you understood me.”

“I just needed a friend.”

“I guess you didn’t”
