For most hunters, it would have been a wet dream: his quarry beaten, bleeding, trapped and prone before him. He might as well have been holding a stake on a silver platter.

“I’m not going as Tombo.” He’d end up looking like Where’s Waldo if he’d been a short angry bodybuilder and no one wanted that. Renee’s little smile hinted at her having a similar visual. “I think I may have something that would require few changes to what you’re wearing now and would be minimal hassle altogether.” Andrew accompanies Renee to a Halloween party, allowing his best friend to dictate his costume because he really couldn’t be paid to care. Then he gets there, and yeah, his crush is wearing the exact same costume. Feelings happen.

The endless mental math required to simply survive. by melbopo [Rated T, 17400 Words, Complete, 2021]

Free booze and candy at Seth's expense for his frat's Halloween party on Friday? Say no more, Andrew will be there, mandatory costume and all. Perhaps Matt's new Exy loving stray will even occupy Kevin for the whole night so he doesn't give Andrew inane lectures about wasting talent and potential on intramural teams, leaving him to drink his free alcohol in blissful peace. Really, the simple mental math checks out in his favor on this one. ~~~~ (alternative title: Andrew Minyard and his acquaintances [that are actually his friends])

Previously recced here

To say Andrew has never seen the benefit in the make-believe would be a lie. However, he finds less and less use for it as he grows older. He especially fails to see the benefits of anything from the horror genre; he’s made plenty of his own mistakes, has seen more than enough to terrify him in his life. He doesn’t need to rely on jump scares and idiotic protagonists. But when he meets Neil, self-proclaimed horror archivist, he finds that maybe he never gave the genre the credit it was due, and he ends up thanking the dull movies eventually… They lead him to Neil, the realest thing he’s ever known.

[████████ 100%] — @tillichan !

ᨒ↟ 𖠰𖥧˚⚘ … FILE #1 SERVAMP MATCHUP

“What a beautiful soul..” — something soft draws you in, to each other, for each other. Like visiting a lake upon spring, and seeing the sunlight shimmering upon its surface. Yes, your matchup has to be this person..

[ LAWLESS ] ᨒ↟ ⋆｡°

𖠰𖥧 there is something despicable that he finds within himself which is alleviated by your presence—the first person that came to mind so strongly was Lawless when I read your information multiple times, and this is why. There is a manner of which that you write that makes me believe that you are a very “ethical” person; ethical as in a perceptual quality defined by a focus on the human, social, moral, and emotional content of reality [1.] — not a lack of logic. And, it is within this frame of mindset that allows Lawless to become deeply infatuated by the state of your being. But let’s get to that.

𖠰𖥧 Lawless is characterized by an aggression in his hedonistic nature that is extremely hard to overlook at first, but you have this quality to you that unravels his character. What I mean by this is that once you solve one problem of his (which is his need for love, which we will get to) this man unravels. His problems start to really untangle by itself because his main problem is with his own mental state.

𖠰𖥧 Lawless himself is a very hurt individual (as are all characters within the servamp series lol); he’s very externally emotional. And, you are internally emotional. There is this connection between the two of you when this is realized. The way you feel too much is actually an aspect of interest that you stroke within him; how are you so connected with people? How do you make yourself so likable; and to him later on, so lovable? And your calmness, openness, kindness; tolerance of him despite how he is— shows to him the answers he seeks. You see, I would not say he’s self centered as opposed to his wiki— I think it’s an oversimplification to his core character—rather than to say that he’s very stuck within his own problems. He has been grieving.. he’s one who wishes so strongly to be loved, and to love back, and this need has become so overwhelming yet concealed by himself from the conditions of his immortality and state of being (I can see him going into his animal form to make it easier for you to hold him) that it has been the precipice of his concerns. Your traits completely turn these issues from the inside out; so naturally, so gently that Lawless feels seen and appreciated with you. There is this gentleness that accompanies your empathy; and it feels so “clean”, so wholesome to him, your connection with animals, your voice, your face. He very much loves looking at you (not so surreptitiously); he is a romantic at heart. Someone who would take apart his entire system to fit yourself in, and truly implement your goals and aspirations and thoughts into his own. He doesn’t strike me as the type to try to plan into the future, but “live in the present”; so he’s ready to give up on a lot of things in order to be with you. I think it’s because of his fear to think about the future. You, on the other hand, seem more future oriented. If the two of you convene about your plans for the future; it will draw him more confidently out of his own shell, and allow him to confront what he desires again. On your part you may not wish to talk about harsh topics because of it’s uncomfortable nature (but some things must be discussed); I think Lawless at this time would tell you to say things straight to him because he isn’t someone who is so easily offended. He can take what thoughts and opinions you do hide to his face, and allows you to become more confident in expressing yourself too. He doesn’t coddle anyone using sugarcoated words. The way this happens is perhaps, he sees some hesitancy in your demeanor, and immediately clings onto it. It’s not a bad thing; following up with these uncomfortable topics, the conversation will grow more comfortable and deepen in thought. He has more of a simplistic (but logical) thought process; when he sees you need help he will pursue, and let you stop overthinking regarding subjects.

𖠰𖥧 At the same time, he would love teasing you about your preference with animals, but it is never malicious or uncomfortable, because you can tell with his voice that he is actually very giggly at this; the level of affection that you hold is something so dear and profound to him, and he himself also does have a preference for animals. You can see how he softens when he looks at you while you are focused elsewhere, how he somehow becomes so different, very gentlemanly towards you. When you exit cars, he will hold his hand out. When he sees your hands turning the pages of your books, or petting animals, he feels the urge to kiss it. You let him display a level of affection as a result of this because you make him feel like his emotions will not be laughed at. Lawless loves compassionate peoples; but to a degree of realism, someone who does what they can, like you. It’s not just the compassion but also the passion inside; You make him melt.. The best to to describe this is comparing the two of you to poetry in motion. It’s like a harmonic dance in a sense?

𖠰𖥧 He’s also quite a yapper, so having you, who’s a great conversationalist, makes him exceedingly excited to talk and meet with you. The two of you could engage in stimulating and lively conversations, and grant each other new insights based on your experiences and thoughts. Be careful! Every time you tease him, he will tease you back with twice fervor. It will never be uncomfortable, but very attracting. He has a way of using sweet words and his own sensuality in his body language playfully to color in the tones of your conversations.. It is never aggressive, but sensual, the way he calls you sweetie, honey—or gestures to grab your attention, to seek it, and your subtle remarks back will keep the two of you on your toes. I think that he is someone who would want to fuse into the sanctity of your presence.

𖠰𖥧 He’s a deeply interesting, charismatic, fiery, unstoppable force, moving constantly, like a chihuahua with separation anxiety. This is a trait which might strike a lot of apprehension within you, but, you’re actually the perfect owner of such a chihuahua. You seem like someone who often stays ruminating in place.. your intuition is something I can see help you make decisions, but as a fellow intuitive type, I can guess that there is still a level of uncertainty in this decision. Lawless is someone who is very ambitious, decisive, and he is calmed by you, while you become inspired around him. He’s a very competent person outside of how necrotic he seems; and he will back down if you are uncomfortable; he does have regrets about things. he has this “can do attitude” that doesn’t feel egotistical but more like an actual promise. He mobilizes you, encourage you to take risks, challenges you to grow beyond your comfort zone. You feel like the type to get stuck inside your head before you even act, and he can bring you out of this “stuck” feeling if you go too deep. You also seem like the kind of person who may be taken advantage of sometimes due to being unable to turn people down sometimes. It’s a matter of pressure and what needs to be done, perhaps, but like how he is, he will always stand up for you. He doesn’t just abandon the people he chooses to be with. It’s like.. being whisked away by a prince in a fairy tale, but instead of bringing you away from your home, he waltz’s you back to your doorstep. This is how I feel about your relationship; it is built upon softness and thinking of one another. A warmth of home, and of sincerity. Neither of you want to be insincere at all, and both of you can display your true colors to one another. This draws away from his hedonistic qualities and makes him see life in the mundane and everyday life.

𖠰𖥧 As a result of all what you do to him, another big comfort of his being is what accompanies you in return. Sanctuary and attraction. He makes you feel safe. He feels superbly special to see himself allowed in your comfort zone, and fumbles awkwardly to meet your likings. When you tell him to just relax, he feels himself doing it on purpose. Remember how I described him like a chihuahua? He acts a bit like one too (haha), not dehumanizing, but as in, he fetches you whatever he knows you enjoy. He will spring out to go pick flowers and fruits for you, he will treat your animals nicely—(he knows how it feels to be an animal, how they feel as animals..). He cuddles up to you if you are alright with it; in cold weather, he pushes your hands into his own pockets. He pays attention to your every word and preference. He would entertain you with his presence alone, and accompany you because he loves to. You aren’t boring to him; and these fantasy stories makes him curious. It’s the kind of relationship where words is not truly needed when you’re enjoying each other. He’s someone who has seen a lot of fantastical things throughout his life— would you like to listen to him speak about it? (These are honestly a congregation of my general headcanons, but there will be a shorter section on it later). He praises you exceedingly, haha, I think you’d find him slightly out of place. In the beginning he is. He’s very cocky, but all the same, he is much more than just that. His cockiness just makes things more interesting later on (especially as the two of you influence one another). It’s ok; he lowkey gets spoiled by you.. so I think he’d rather not act out of line. He’s more like your hype man! He will without fail make you feel special, like someone precious. Sometimes, it’s lowkey embarassing 😭 it’s like… you’re unimpressed by this guy. And that encourages him to be even more bold, and it’s just funny at the end. He’s someone who absolutely feeds off your joy; your happiness is my happiness. He is this kind of intense person, fiercely loyal, and he only ever says what he means, does what he wants; and this simplicity makes you feel secure in both your relationship and around him, since he becomes so inherently protective of the people he do have left that cares about him— so reliable. He is responsible after all— for you. You’re lovely, so he never puts you on a pedestal, and respects you as an individual, and loves you like an infatuated lover would. He makes you feel seen in a humane way. It makes you feel like the things you have done are worth it.

𖠰𖥧 Why him and nobody else? Well, many things I took into account. Firstly, I didn’t want to give you any characters that was extremely assertive (and thereby intrusive) — but enough so they would be the one approaching you first. I wanted to give someone with more mobilization, more extroverted, but also not very high energy as to tire you out. However, someone assertive enough to chase, with both idealism and realism (which brings pleasantness due to the optimism it brings). Additionally, someone with a disposition similar to yours about possession and space would be important. They could not be too internally conflicted and necrotic. I wanted to give you someone who was very “internally deep” (pique your interest), at the very same time, who can be influenced by your traits and can be changed by it. Lawless is the proper fit for this… he is willing to change, unlike so many other characters within the narrative who are so headstrong and will butt heads with you. You can see the good in him, and this is so very important.

Ultimately; someone who can be gentle.

𖠰𖥧 RUNNER UPS (☎️.) ALL OF LOVE. This one definitely also has a chance of happening; but it can also lean more towards a more platonic relationship style. I feel like you might get too.. comfortable? There’s less “spark of love!” And more, “friends hanging out by sitting next to each other, not speaking, but still very fun.”

ᨒ↟ ⋆｡° [#additional headcanons…]

A househusband; his motto to your relationship is to get spoiled and spoil you back. Well, he has no money to spoil you with, but acts of service. Let him lay on your lap for an hour while you’re birdwatching? He’s already off to prepare your bath for you when you two get home. Gardening? He’s always by your side with it. You’re cold? Hm, take his jacket! Servamps don’t get cold anyways (he’s shivering actually). Will absolutely blush if you share any of your clothing with him. You can say he’s… he’s kind of like a tsundere!

Well, the way your relationship truly starts to develop is that he starts appearing at your front gate arbitrarily.

“It’s cold out! Won’t you let me in?”

Licht is an avid slanderer of Lawless; he’s an Angel, and that man’s eve, so he’ll take responsibility and drag this guy back whenever you want it. Ah, but it is good to be without lawless pestering him for a while… would you mind keeping Lawless for some time while he practices? He appreciates it, truly.. don’t worry! He’ll always make sure to collect him at the end. It won’t take too long. So in a sense, he’s kind of like the supervisor while you two inadvertently start courting each other. Yes, inadvertently—you two get comfortable around each other. It feels like one of those relationships where he confesses, and you’re like “? Ok.” And then go about your day until you realize half an hour later.

Absolutely gets slightly pouty because of the cat and dog sometimes. Transforms into a hedgehog and wedges himself between them to get your attention too! They’re very interested in him, and he ends up playing with them in his own way until he gets too tired 😭 defeated hedgehog.. rolling around until you pick him up.

Gets absolutely dogged by you in chess games. Not at all overconfident nor bragging (his demeanor around you is different compared to others -> like a calm dog), very inquisitive. Speaking of dog.. will definitely take care of your pets for you when you are busy.

Tickle monster here. But usually, he’s more of a cuddle monster. Warmth makes him feel.. more alive. What? You’re cold? That can’t be, doesn’t that mean your blood circulation is poor? He will make sure to make you feel warm before you two go out to walk the pets. Always taking care of you physically whenever he can.

He’s never truly been in a romantic relationship, or understand how it works normally, you’re going to have to explain some things to him 😭 he isn’t dumb though, so he can surmise a lot of things by watching, er, unrealistic television shows. It’s the only thing he knows because he watches the most dramatic ass rom coms and randomly brings it up expecting you to know. Why would you know??? He thinks you’re a very intelligent person, so he really expects a lot out of you sometimes, even if it’s nonsensical.

Finds your lifestyle interesting because it’s not what he expects from a modern human. He often sees people doing things in excess, eating, smoking, drinking; he kind of finds you endearing in this way that you take care of yourself and fulfill your basic necessities while also pampering yourself physically and keeping yourself healthy. He finds you very elegant (you are), and that makes him somewhat flustered (since he’s into that). A lot of times you kind of reawaken his past, almost noble demeanor inside him, and he ends up serving you like you’re a princess (holding your groceries, massaging your arms, etc).

You’re probably his exact type; the kind of person he needs at this moment in order to become healthier. And this makes him feel flustered and adoring around you; it makes him want to comment on the little things you tend to do, or how cool you seem. You have this kind of composure that makes people feel at ease around you with how chill you seem, and this is exactly what he needs to take direction in his life and become a better person for himself and others— and for you.

ᨒ↟ ⋆｡° [#first meeting]

“Ah.. you..”

The cold weather had already formed frost inside the crevices of windows, where the faint gloss of condensation ran over the expansive panels of the concert hall.

The first meeting is something that is very small, but very intriguing. The recital stage should be this way, to the left, you’re sure of it. But following that direction, the signs were not the ones you were told it would be. You peered around near a wall, but the people striding around you look very busy, and you don’t want to bother them at all—you can tell you will get some annoyance tainted answer, and you don’t want to bother with that right now. However, it is a fancy recital. A big name pianist by the name of “Licht” will be playing— a lot of people are scrambling in order to meet him today. Including your parents.

“Don’t be late,” you remember hearing. The thumping in your chest gets louder and louder.

Then, there was suddenly a tap on your shoulder. However, as you looked back, there was a flash at your peripheral, and an outdoorsy scent passed by in a split second—the kind that reminds you slightly of a cat. In front of you, a blond man with a black scarf stood, grinning.

“‘Alack, there lies more peril in thine eye than twenty of their swords…’ Hahaha..! You lost, little lady?”

There is this perverse, almost innocuous tone in his words, as if he is expectant of something. This feels like it is something important, and you’re not sure why, but as your explanation leaves your tongue, his face rescinds a subtle expression you couldn’t quite catch. “Hah? You’re not here for Licht?” He suddenly seems calmer. Your face, still dispassionate, glances at him.

It was then, that a pair of doors opened nearby, and the limelight that filtered through that slanted square doorway limned the two of you in its radiance. Any movement can be discerned from how harsh the light is, but for a moment, you could almost see him getting lost in the light refracted from your eyes. But only for a moment.

The first impression is characterized by two words; “boring” on his end, and “off” on yours.

He looks tired now, mood swinging like a pendulum. And he shrugs, before pointing to another door opposite of where the two of you stands. “There. If you’re looking for the other musicians. They’re performing there.”

After the performance, you find your mind still straying to him. Something about him seemed off. There is a slight hope in your heart that he may be someone like you..

Opening your hand, you find an illuminated piece of vine. But you close it as soon as you hear your parents calling for you.

This is about a week before Licht’s actual interrupted performance in the manga, and after this, you’re surprised to see your parents knows Licht. You recognize this blond haired man next to him.

Your mother nudges you gently, teasing you to make some more friends your age since you’ve moved here. Licht doesn’t give out his phone number easily, so Lawless offers his own! When this happens, Licht also gives you his phone number (to make sure lawless isn’t going out of hand). You don’t like mobile phones much, but you don’t want to reject it since they’re giving it. That’s how it first starts.

Asks you tons of questions about your day, your work, many things. Lawless would honestly start to visit your house if you mention your preference. (This may be even worse to you though). This is how he gets to know you at first, but it doesn’t feel too unpleasant. After, he just starts to grow on you, and it feels natural to see him at your house randomly to hang out.

What he finds annoying in regards to you is how restrained you are. You seem like the type to truly conceal your grievances when it happens, and this mannerism is both understandable (to some extent) and irritating to Lawless. It’s reminds him of that stupid elder brother’s eve..

You mention that you’re good at dealing with adults who act like children? That’s him at first. Honestly he’s still childish, but less so later, transforming into “youthful” instead.

ᨒ↟ ⋆｡° [#crush] + [#confession]

𖠰𖥧 with a crush, he becomes extremely hesitant, and much more withdrawn. Hes also anxious; he feels like it’s safe anywhere unless you’re in your home. With all the conflict that has been going on, he’s glad that you’ve decided to aid in the sidelines instead of rushing over. This is a conflict between vampires; a guardian of nature (to be elaborated on in roles) should not be involved so intimately, even if it may be more fun. You seem like the type to help when you can, so many people are grateful to you for that. Ah, he couldn’t have been bothered with whatever you did before, but now he’s relieved. Isn’t that hypocritical of him? A man such as himself, you might dislike that aspect of him. He’s convinced himself that you would never reciprocate his feelings back, in short.

𖠰𖥧 this makes him superbly hard to deal with, even though he’s also acting very squishy in matters regards to you. Licht judgingly glares at him at the corner of his eyes when he brings something related to you up. He’s sheepish and slightly indignant.

𖠰𖥧 how is this overcame? Well, as an impulsive person, Lawless is unable to control his mouth whenever he wants to speak, you see. Whenever he’s with you, he just starts talking. Eventually, he gave up on trying to be restrained around you (funny how he disliked this aspect of what he felt towards you when he did it himself!) and the two of you started hanging out again.

𖠰𖥧 because of all the factors stated above in the matchup section, falling in love, confessing… it just happens. It’s just natural. You probably said something that brought him into a romantic mood, and he, judging the atmosphere, promptly confesses. It happens on a dark evening, where the cherry blossoms are in bloom. He picked something up from the convenience store while you waited outside, and emotions just swelled up within him when he saw your face. He is in love, he is in love, he is in love. He didn’t know it would happen again.

𖠰𖥧 and the tang of the sweet flowers was in the air. He never liked this smell, as it reminded him of flowers in funerals and… oh, but you look so lovely. There is darkness all around you, and you look somewhat antsy. He should step it up and protect you, shouldn’t he? His heart feels very present and his face feels somewhat flushed.

“…stay with me from now on, ok?”

Haha, that’s his style of confession. And he leads you back to the picnic area where you left your things by the hand. He’s a vampire, but he feels hotter than normal.

ᨒ↟ ⋆｡° [#role] + [#abilities]

A human blessed by the nature spirits? What a rare sight. Not even much priests or priestesses are bestowed this honor, much less rangers and hunters of the old….

Distanced from servamps, C3, and the conflicts that arose— you were an ordinary person until one day, where you found yourself lost in the mountains.. when you returned, you found yourself with strange abilities that suddenly emerged.

As it seems, you’ve become some kind of chosen guardian of the natural regional area near you. Something like a priestess in Inuyasha, if you are familiar with that. Other than spending time in that place a little longer, not much has changed. It seems to have a protective effect on you; trying to separate you from the chaotic world of mystical creatures. Thus, whenever you enter this plane, it separates into a space where nobody can come in or leave without your jurisdiction. Like a safe haven in a sense. Your abilities have specific characteristics that have also been altered by this blessing.

“Mary, Mary, quite contrary—How does your garden grow?”

A long distance continuous spell which generates protective effects based on distance. The user is able to create luminous vines that are invisible to others with both physical and spiritual properties that offers a few things specifically. These vines can grow from anywhere that is viable for plants to grow as long as the user knows the location.

Claircognizance. Upon vines coming into contact with a being, you can ask a question in your mind (thus long distance) and perceive the TRUTH. It doesn’t exactly tell you what is a lie, but whenever there is a lie, a second voice tells you the hidden truth. This works on animals as well, which interlinks with the second ability.

Animal coercion. Any animal that comes into contact with the vines can be influenced to follow an order. For example, a bird can be used to spy on enemies. It would take more out of you, but humans is also possible. As it is an influence of gentle force, the person/animal usually doesn’t know they’re being influenced. This makes it hard to detect. Then, you can use claricognizance to understand what happened.

Adaptation. These vines can be used in order to close wounds, hold the bleeding, etc. it will temporarily adopt the necessary conditions of a certain organ to trick the brain into keeping the body working. In a life or death situation, this saves a ton of lives. Latching onto allies, the vines can grow into thick walls to shield people, or extend in order to grapple or entangle enemies, or even be used as a means to escape for allies who have it on hand. Outside of closing wounds, this can also be used in order to bind enemies. As it is made using magics, it is hard to break unless it is done with a spell or large attack.

I do have reasons for this kind of ability, so if you want to know why specifically it’s so utility based, ill tack it on.

ᨒ↟ ⋆｡° [#relationships]

— ALL OF LOVE is your best friend. He may speak such weird things sometimes, but he’s a very gentle and sweet person who makes you feel at ease. He has this deep empathy similar to yours, so he can truly understand how you feel. He uplifts you. Always invites you into the mansion to have a tea party, especially to spend time with the children there afterwards. If you bring your pets, even better—he’ll make sure to have treats and things set up for them. They absolutely adore you! When you two first met, it was through these kids, since they didn’t know the directions to a certain sweet shop. You two immediately hit it off, and discuss the books you have read and or just the general state of situations. He thinks you’re kind of similar to a very matured Misono without all that attitude, with your elegance and your affection for others. It’s very cute, and it makes him want to protect and pamper you. Always makes sure to send you home with a heat pack, or more clothes if it’s needed after your visit— or just goodies like some new sunscreen he thinks is great for you. Very much tries to spoil you materialistically, or offer you some profound advice if you ever need it. Dependent on some variables, he may even have a crush on you. You’re lovely, too lovely. If you ever tease him, he’ll start to flush.

EMOTICON DYNAMIC: (˶˃ ᵕ ˂˶) (him) + ( ദ്ദി ˙ᗜ˙ ) (you)

— MISONO thinks of you as a sister. He can’t help himself even though he tries to reject this, but you’re someone that he truly could picture as his older sister. He admires your cool-headed attitude towards things, and thinks you’re cool! A lot of the eves are teenagers, and they’re very impulsive, somewhat self-centered teenagers; having someone who thinks things through like you while still being considerate towards their feelings is something he is grateful for. It makes him feel seen, and happy. You exchange some tips with him for his health, and he lends you his drivers if you need it. Though, he absolutely doesn’t like Lawless much. He’s seething while watching that man throw himself over you, he absolutely doesn’t deserve you..! But if you’re happy.. well, maybe he can tolerate lawless a bit more.

— LICHT the absolute goat in your relationship with Lawless. Listen, he doesn’t do this for anybody, but he likes you. You’re someone who has all the traits to earn his respect, especially with how tolerant you are of him (that’s to be expected!!), you don’t act all cheerily fake, or impulsive, you have some ear for music, and your upbringing is similar while you don’t try to pry into his life or lick up to him. He appreciates this. That’s why he acts a bit like a “supervisor”, or a “matchmaker” in your relationship when you need it—he has a very keen eye, so it would be very insightful to listen to what he has to say about things as well. He understands both of you well, and he definitely also has accompanied both you on your little dates. (“It’s not a date!” Lawless yells. Yeah yeah, you devil). But if you have anything you want to say, he’ll turn an ear to you. Other than this entire relationship thing, the two of you are strangely close friends. You don’t hang out often, no, but the emotional distance between the two of you seem very small. While Snow Lily may be your “best” friend, he is your closest friend. Your insights make him reconsider situations at hand, especially since you speak in a way that makes him much more comfortable and respectful towards, as he may seem very cold to people sometimes. You two meet by odd coincidences, like at the park, and just sit down and talk to each other about how things have been.

— MIKUNI thinks you’re a nice girl. Haha, but you should definitely get out of here before anything else happens. If you still continue, good for you, he supposes. He’s very curious about your abilities and how other things come to play, and he’s happy you make his younger brother so delighted. (In his place, yes.. perhaps he is a little jealous). He’ll even bail you out if you ever get into trouble with C3. He often cheerfully asks you some very bizarre questions whenever the two of you meet, but as always, he is very emotionally distant and doesn’t like it when people close in on him. You respect that, and the two of you have this nice acquaintanceship.

— GEAR is similar to you, yet he is also not similar to you at all. He is the closest you can say to be somewhat of a teacher figure, a mentor figure, for this world you have suddenly found yourself in. The two of you are both disconnected from vampires, with other supernatural forces at hand, and this factor, alongside the similar viewpoints the two of you share, allows the two of you bond. You met him on a family trip to England, and had passed through London, where you first met Yotaro. He understands you well, and can really say things that hits the target almost uncomfortably. But he absolutely adores you, I know I’ve been saying this a lot for a lot of the characters but like you’ve said, you usually give a good impression to people. Definitely ships you some nice tea/coffee he’s been trying out, books since he’s a bookworm himself, and gives you some funny little tips regarding your dogs (since he is a werewolf). He’s very patient with you, and enjoys your company if you ever visit. Most of your exchanges is done overseas, but.. while I write, it feels like this guy would definitely see you as a child to take care of— so, father figure somewhat as well? He is very proud of you whenever you show him the new techniques you can perform with your powers, or really, just anything of note that you’ve done well.

— YOTARO gives me the feeling of a childhood friend—like a bit of a brother. I guess this is your new family now, Gear, Yotaro, Tilli trio, even though Gear and Yotaro don’t have the relationship you do with Gear. He thinks you’re a very dutiful person, you see, and the two of you seem to share similar values in terms of material living. I can see the two of you roaming markets together and him sharing all the tricks in the book that he picked up by being a carer. Cooks you your favorite whenever you visit, and shares recipes he finds. I’m not sure how to describe this other than “familial”. He’s your other hype man, albeit realistically, and somehow makes FaceTimes enjoyable with his enthusiasm. If you need anyone to confide in, he’s your guy. In the time where you and Lawless was getting together, he was very subtle in conveying his opinions across to push the two of you together. Thinking back on it, it was so obvious!

— KURO and you are best buds. Yes there is a difference between that and best friends. You are the first person to ever take him upon his “hold me and calm down” nonsense, but he definitely smells the scent of your pets on you, and end up crawling away. He gets reminded of his siblings whenever he sees or smells animals. (“It’s kind of a pain..” <- what’s with this half assed answer????) But the two of you are the chillest duo together. Even if you don’t like his habits, you never judge him on it, and since you love the fantasy genre, he would definitely try to invite you into playing rpg video games with him. Please do indulge him, he’s kind of lonely on that end 😭 do it for the fantastic storylines. I’m slightly lazy to write another section for Mahiru, but you and him would also be great friends. Having you around in this chaos.. it feels like a relief.

EMOTICON DYNAMIC: ૮(˶╥︿╥)ა (Kuro) & ( - ⌓ - ) (you).

[a/n] I hope you’ve enjoyed! I yapped way too much with this one 💀💀💀 I didn’t write platonic relationship for lawless because it would just be the same thing except without the romantically charged dynamic.
