han vs homework

ur clingy bf han jisung wants to kiss u (1.0k words)

Understatement: Han Jisung is a clingy boyfriend.

He’s whiny and soft and putty, always sporting a pout on his face. Mostly because he knows you can’t deny him when he looks at you like that.

He’s used it multiple times—when he wants the last piece of cake, when you get upset, when he makes menial mistakes, when he wants you on his lap to kiss you silly.

It’s straight manipulation, the way he easily coaxes you into the things he wants to do just by a simple gaze, but you’re determined not to let his puffed out cheeks and jutted lips get to you.

At least not today, seated on your desk at ass o’clock in the evening to finish an essay you have due as Jisung lays on your bed, doe-eyed and staring at your back that’s turned to him.

“Babyyyyy.” He whines, drawling out the last syllable of the word to try and get your attention.

While he loves his view right now, of his pretty partner in front of him with your eyes focused on your laptop screen and your pretty dainty hands typing away at the keyboard, Jisung is still Jisung. And who was he if not your clingy boyfriend?

Though, you dismiss his pleas, back still faced to him as you continue to type the finishing sentences of your essay.

“‘M almost done. Give me 10 more minutes.” You mumble, eyes never leaving the screen. You’ve said the same thing ten minutes ago, and the same even before that.

Jisung grumbles, though good-naturedly. He moves from his spot ever-so-slightly, inching towards the end of the bed so he’s closer to you. “Pretty girl.”

Pure and evil manipulation.

He’s pushed himself off of your bed now, hovering behind you and gripping each side of your chair with his hands. Jisung leans down, resting his chin on your shoulder as he stares at the paragraphs littering your Google Docs. Nothing really sticks, though.

Han isn’t any bit shy about checking you out instead.

Your mouth is parted a little as you concentrate on your essay, and it’s torture to your boyfriend. You’re putting him through torture by focusing on your homework instead of paying attention to him.

“Spend time with me.”

He kisses into your clothed shoulder, inching towards the skin of your neck. “You know, kissing can actually help your brain. It’s—” Another kiss on your clavicle. “It’s scientifically proven.”

“I highly doubt that, Ji.” is what you can muster to reply to him as he’s midway forming a hickey on your collarbone, sinking his teeth and sucking a little.

“Wanna try it out? Then you’ll know I’m right.” His eyes are on your lips only, tongue darting over his own as he whispers lowly in your ear.

Your breath holds tight at his warm breath fanning your face and how his hair tickles your cheeks, and you’re puzzled whether to give in or not.

A quick glance on your desk’s clock will tell you that you still have two hours before you have to submit your assignment. You suppose you could spare your impatient boyfriend some time. Besides, you’re very close to finishing it – only needing to finalize the conclusion before you’ll be done.

“Please?” He adds, lips detaching from your skin when you spin your chair around to face him instead of the laptop he’s now deemed an archnemesis.

You caught him glaring at it earlier, eyes furrowed and mumbling something about how it was stealing his baby. Now, you were finally facing him.

“Spend time with me, not that stupid laptop.”

He’s smiling now, leaning forward and pulling you out of your chair in favor of letting you crash into his arms instead. He picks you up so easily that it makes your eyes dart down to his arms. It makes your boyfriend smirk.

It’s food to his ego, giving him validation for the hours he spends at the gym with Changbin and Chan.

Jisung is first to sit down on your bed, pulling you down with him so that you’re sitting on his lap and straddling him. His hands move so easily too, sliding down from around your upper body to place them firmly on your hips.

“I wasn’t done.” You grumble, lips poked out as you plant your own hands flat on his chest.

“I’m going to die if you don’t kiss me right now.” When you laugh at his exaggeration, his own face morphs into a smile of adoration, apples of his cheeks prominent as he stares at your crescent eyes.

And just like that, he pulls you to his lips. He feels so close like this, chest against yours that you can almost hear his heartbeat if not for your own thumping loudly against your ear. You can feel his arms tighten around you, fingers playing with the ends of your shirt and head tilting so he can kiss you harder, deeper.

He’s a little messy, feverish, as if he’d been denied your lips for weeks before this moment.

“Have to finish my essay—” Jisung’s lips trail down your neck to let you catch your breath, tongue lapping over the hickey he’d formed earlier before kissing up your jaw. “Deadline’s in two hours and—” You tilt your head back to give him more space.

“Baby.” He whines, peeling himself away from your skin for a moment so he can press a kiss on your nose. “Don’t wanna hear you talk about homework when I’m kissing you like this.” It makes you laugh when he pouts at you before reattaching his lips on your skin.

“Mmm, sorry.” You mumble, and he places a sweet kiss behind your ear.

“Give me another kiss and consider it forgotten.” He utters from where he’s kissing you, pulling away to gauge your response, to see if you’ll kiss him again. You do.

And it goes on like that for a little while longer. He has always been tactical to get the things that he wants. It’s unfair because he wants you all the time.

You end up finishing your homework ten minutes before the deadline.

Han Jisung reigns victorious over your shitty laptop.

Your boyfriend: 1

do one where luigi takes your virginity and he’s real sweet about it pls pls pls plsplspls i need it

he's my baby, my baby, my babyyyyy

contains: p in v, virginity loss

luigi mangione x inexperienced!fem!reader

"you're sure you're okay with this?"

luigi's words hung in the air, heavy with anticipation and a hint of nerves, as the soft light from the bedside lamp cast a warm glow across the room. it was a question that had been dancing on the edge of your conversation for weeks now, a delicate topic that seemed to pull the two of you closer and create a silent space. your heart skipped a beat as you looked up into his sincere eyes, your boyfriend of almost a year. his dark hair was a mess from the day's activities, and the muscles in his arms flexed gently as he held your hand. hr was waiting for your answer, his gaze never wavering from yours.

you took a deep breath, feeling the weight of the moment. the quiet whispers of doubt in the back of your mind grew louder for a second before you pushed them aside. you had thought about this, talked with your closest friends, and even considered the advice of strangers on the internet. you knew what you wanted, and it was him. "yes," you murmured, the word a soft promise that seemed to echo through the room. "i'm sure."

his hand squeezed yours in response, and you could feel the tension in his body relax. with gentle care, luigi leaned in and kissed you, the warmth of his mouth sending waves of reassurance through your body. it was a kiss that spoke of love and commitment. as your kiss grew deeper, you felt his hand move lower, slipping under the waistband of your panties. you felt a flash of cold as he slid them down your legs, leaving you completely bare to him. his touch was gentle as he caressed the soft skin of your inner thighs, his fingertips grazing the sensitive area between your legs. he paused for a moment, looking into your eyes for any sign of hesitation. but all he saw was a reflection of his own need. with a nod, he positioned himself above you, his weight balanced on his arms as he looked down at your body.

his cock was hard and hot against your skin, the head of it nudging at your entrance. your breath hitched as you felt him push inside you, inch by inch. the sensation was foreign and a bit painful, but it was a pain you had been expecting. you closed your eyes, focusing on the feeling of him filling you, the way your body stretched to accommodate him. he was thick and long, and it took all your willpower not to tense up as he went deeper. his eyes never left yours as he entered you, the connection between the two of you palpable.

"are you okay?" he whispered, his voice strained with his own desire to go further, but holding back for you.

you nodded, the initial shock of pain giving way to a growing warmth that spread through your core. "keep going," you encouraged, your voice breathy and needy.

his hips began to move in a slow, rhythmic dance, pushing in and pulling out with a deliberateness that spoke of his control and experience. you felt yourself growing wetter, your body adjusting to his size. with each stroke, the pain diminished and was replaced by a building pleasure. his movements grew more confident, his strokes longer and deeper. your breathing quickened to match his pace, the air in the room thick with desire.

"you're so fucking tight," he groaned, his voice low and rough with passion. "you're gripping me like a vice."

you couldn't find the words to respond, your focus solely on the sensation of him inside you. your nails dug into the sheets as he picked up the pace, his movements becoming more urgent. you felt yourself opening up to him, your body starting to welcome the intrusion with a greedy need. a soft moan escaped your lips as he hit a spot that sent a jolt of pleasure through you, and he responded with a knowing smile.

his sweetness was evident in every touch, every kiss, and every whispered word of encouragement. even when you winced at the discomfort, his touch grew softer, his kisses more tender. his eyes searched yours, looking for any sign that you wanted him to stop. but all he saw was the same determination that had been in yours when you gave him the go-ahead.

his movements grew smoother, more practiced. he knew exactly how to touch you, how to kiss you to make you melt into the bed beneath him. his thumb found your clit and began to circle it with a gentle pressure that had you gasping for breath. it was a sweet torture, a delicious friction that sent shivers up your spine and made your toes curl.

you felt the pressure building, a warm coil deep within you that grew tighter with every stroke. your hips began to move with him, meeting him thrust for thrust as you grew more comfortable with the sensation. your walls tightened around him, the slickness of your arousal making it easier for him to move inside you.

his thumb worked in a steady rhythm against your clit, the sensation becoming almost unbearable. your breathing grew ragged, your eyes squeezed shut as you felt the peak approaching. "luigi," you whimpered, his name a plea on your lips.

"i know," he murmured against your neck, his teeth grazing your skin. "let go for me, baby."

his words sent a shiver down your spine, and you did. your body arched off the bed as the orgasm crashed over you, a wave of pleasure so intense it stole your breath away. you could feel him swell inside you, his muscles tense with his own approaching climax. as the spasms of your release gripped him, he drove into you one last time before stilling, his body shaking with the force of his orgasm.

for a moment, you were lost in the haze of pleasure, your senses overwhelmed by the feel of him, the sound of your ragged breathing, and the scent of your combined desire. then, gradually, the world came back into focus. you looked up into his eyes, which were glazed with passion, and saw the love and care that he had for you reflected there. the connection you shared was palpable, and you knew that you had made the right decision.

Is it ok to ask what your Bond story is going to be about? 0-0

YES OF COURSE I AM ALWAYS HAPPY TO ELABORATE ON WIPS. it's (a) fun and (b) helps me figure out what the fuck i'm actually trying to do with a certain story

ao3 draft version of The Creature currently looks like this:

(dw i have everything in a word document also. i put active wips in ao3 drafts to 1. give myself a pretend deadline and 2. so i can figure out title / tags / summary / formatting in advance)

the idea for this fic crystallized when i saw this quote:

but the main concepts i'm trying to get at in it have been drifting around my head since i first watched casino royale / quantum of solace / skyfall (only thing in spectre i found vaguely compelling were the bond/moneypenny/q interactions and i still haven't subjected myself to no time to die (even though the fact that we were doing billie eilish's no time to die is the only reason i decided to watch a james bond movie at all lmao), the dc!james bond oeuvre is an open-ended trilogy 2 Me). basically the thing is that although james bond is commonly known as Theee womanizer (this is probably completely true when referring to the earlier bonds and also the books, nothing i have heard about those makes me doubt it) ummmmm. the way the trilogy and quantum of solace ESPECIALLY handles james and sex certainly. Leaves room open for alternate interpretation.

let me elaborate.

(disclaimer: i'm a law major, probably some degree of asexual, and my favorite bond movie is quantum of solace, and all three of these things certainly show)

FIRST casino royale babyyyyy. as noted above not my favorite of the three (least favorite actually lmao) but there's various things it gets points for on my list. but what we're mainly here for is (watch out this is a sentence i will never type again) THE SEX SCENES.

(please put you know my name on now. For Atmosphere)

first interaction we see bond have with a woman in casino royale beyond like. random people who are technically also in the street he's having a standard batshit james bond chase scene in is with m and OKAY YEAH I'LL ADMIT IT i'm not entirely opposed to a romantic reading of that relationship (they're fucked up and it fascinates me. i'm predictable. whatever). but thing is what bond mostly does in this scene is sit there and look at m with big woeful eyes while she tells him to fuck off and die somewhere (three times) calls him a blunt instrument (to be fair he did just blow up an embassy) and also get out of her house and HOW DID YOU GET IN HERE ANYWAY, 007. iconic

it's a HUGELY important scene for establishing how this version of james bond works (i think about "well i understand double-os have a very short life expectancy. so your mistake will be short-lived" often) and james is vaguely flirtatious in the way he always is (i.e. in a way that mostly consists of saying things softly while looking at people the right way) and nothing comes of it all. he doesn't make any real overtures, she doesn't even take off her coat, he leaves when she tells him to.

first SEXUAL bit is solange. he DOES give her bedroom eyes as soon as they spot each other on the beach, but 1. she does it first and 2. this is already The Mission. please consider once again the luca guadagnino quote. why flirt with her? why smile? because he's attracted to her? because it's useful to have the mark's wife want him? who knows! not us! and he's definitely not going to TELL us-

Ah! Well okay then!

and as soon as she tells him the guy he's after is going to be on the last plane to miami he's like Okay i'm outta here (almost visibly turns the switch marked flirtatious and available to the off position). i mean i don't have very much experience in this whole having sexual intercourse lark but that's not really Guy Who's Really Into This Sex Thing behavior to me! he does sex the same way he does killing which is to say. efficiently and with a vague sort of disinterest the second he's not actively performing it for someone.

compare this to, for example, the Whole Relationship bond and camille have in quantum of solace. the whole thing is (as far as i can tell, deliberately) CHOCK full of parallels between the two of them, and the fact, stated in text, that camille has unenjoyable sex with people she despises for the sake of the mission, isn't exactly excluded. consider (among other moments) this:

(James voice Lol same haha)

which is almost IMMEDIATELY followed by

HAHAHA CRAZY. this motherfucker out loud calls camille basically a prostitute and then says james kills everything he touches and then says this. and then we find out that camille is also a spy and is also here to kill a man and james and camille themselves are like yeah we ARE mirrors of each other actually

PARALLELS ARE TWO LINES IT'S NOT A STRETCH TO DRAW THE SECOND ONE IS ALL I'M SAYING. there are two people in this cave and they're bonding over losing someone in a violently traumatic way and then turning themselves into a weapon as a reaction but NOT about also using sex they don't really particularly want to have as a weapon in service of the mission in much the same way as a knife or a gun? don't make me laugh . it's RIGHT THERE. it is literally RIGHT THERE. and they do all this together and nearly die together and he gives her new purpose after she does the killing she meant to do and then all they do is kiss once

that's not SEXUAL!! LOOK AT IT. that's what two people who haven't quite realized that you can touch someone without it being the prelude to fucking or killing do instead of a normal goddamn GOODBYE HUG. that's what you do when you're a damaged creature and someone who's exactly the same as you except she's gotten what she thought she wanted looks into your eyes and sees you and the only thing you can think of to do to stop her looking at you is kiss her. NONSEXUAL INTIMACY between two people who use THEIR BODIES AS A WEAPON IN ANY WAY THEY CAN BABYYYYYY.

god i love quantum of solace. anyway.

my point? i think the fact that james bond has sex on missions often and skillfully doesn't mean he enjoys it. the whole point of these movies is that he does a lot of things for the mission that he doesn't enjoy. i think a more compelling interpretation of this version of james bond is actually somewhere on the asexual spectrum.

But Elke, you say. What about Vesper? the whole POINT of Vesper's role in the story, after all, is that what he does with her ISN'T the mission, and in fact ends up running contrary to mission goals. and yet he has sex with her, long after he's left the mission behind. to quote quantum of solace:

(this is also a point in favor of my SECOND hill to die on when it comes to "things that are probably true of most james bonds but i don't think are actually true of this one", i.e. i don't actually think he gives a flying fuck about england. most of the things he does are either fueled by personal loyalty to a specific person (most of the time, m; briefly, vesper) or personal conviction that it's the right thing to do (see for example him getting mad at m in quantum of solace because he thinks she's putting england's interests over the lives of people in bolivia) i personally don't see much patriotism in it at all)

the thing about vesper is that the initial flirting definitely IS an Standard Mission Behavior thing. their first conversation is a verbal sparring match that only occasionally dips to the physical (his "every penny of it", her "your perfectly formed arse") and i'm pretty sure the sparring match aspect of it is what he finds more interesting ("skewered. one sympathizes."). yes he flirts and yes he kisses her and i think part of that really is about wanting le chiffre to think he's distracted by the pretty woman and part of that is trying to get on her good side because it's useful for the mission. and then part of it is that she's unpredictable and thus fascinating (not least because she DIDN'T immediately step into the honeytrap) and the subsequent way he acts around her is . Hm in a certain way it's playing. this middle section of the movie is about two games james is playing and one of them is the poker game with le chiffre as a worthy opponent and the other one is with her. the sniping at each other is fun! it's different! she understands him in a way other people don't! and she DOESN'T WANT TO SLEEP WITH HIM. people wanting to sleep with him is the predictable standard outcome and she doesn't.

these movies work a lot with bond being a guy who kills people to get done what needs to be done and with how you can't really do that for very long without starting to think of yourself as a weapon rather than a person. even if it wasn't the original intention, i think a reading of the text that does the same thing with sex is DEEPLY compelling enhances the whole thing. the first scene with bond and vesper that really isn't about the mission even a little bit, the first scene where he steps out of his role as 007 for her, is this one:

(FINGERS IN HIS MOUTH FRIDAY)

which is notable 2 me for being wonderfully quietly intimate and not at all sexual about it (despite the fact that they are WET in a SHOWER and also he SUCKS ON HER FINGERS. what was that, james) and also what it's ABOUT. she's messed up over being responsible for a human being's death and he, killer of killers, doesn't ridicule it, but sits down in the shower next to her.

(they do this in a bathroom. i wonder where this james bond's first official kill canonically took place--

ah. oops. well never mind that i'm sure it's not important)

sure, they have sex later. but the first moment of actual, real intimacy is pointedly nonsexual. and listen. listen. i like to interpret bond as on the asexual spectrum, yes. but i think he really fucking likes touch, actually. i think that's what the whole thing with miss fields in quantum of solace is about, besides seducing her into letting him have a bit of leeway. the part he actually wants out of that, if he wants anything, is the one we see on screen-

sure it COULD be sexual. could also just be an excuse to touch someone he won't have to try and destroy with it afterward (and then it destroys her anyway, but that's a different essay). like god. think about it. you are a little boy in a big stone house in scotland and you love your parents and then they're gone and you go into the tunnel under the moor and you stay there for two days and then you come back out because you know you'll have to, someday, but you left your childhood buried in that dirt. and who is there after that? the gamekeeper, kincade, who you were probably close with, but when you meet him again years later you only shake hands. boarding school. the boys talk about girls, about wanting. you try it and it doesn't feel right to you, but then again nothing has, not for years. and you learn to do it, and do it well, like you do everything, because if you don't they'll remember you don't belong here. ("-and they never let you forget it. hence the chip on your shoulder.") the navy. they teach you to kill. in a grimy bathroom you hold a man down into the water of the sink, his body against yours, until he stops moving. ("not well.") you stand there. take a breath. ("made you feel it, did he?") this is what you are now. kill him a second time. kill another man without ever coming close, and starting then the only thing your body is good for-- ("as mi6 says, he's difficult to control. nice way of saying that everything he touches seems to wither and die.") -- is being a weapon, one way or another. you fall in love with her because she takes you apart and doesn't want to sleep with you, and you send in your resignation and sleep with her after all because you love her, you do, and you want to touch her forever, and you don't really mind it, if it's her. (her dead mouth under your mouth and she won't breathe--) you start killing again. you're as good at it as you ever were. one wink, and she's following you to bed. the only person you had left to trust asks you to hold him as he dies, and you do. ("that's better. that doesn't hurt.") drop the necklace in the snow. it nearly does kill you this time ("take the bloody shot.") and you sleep with anyone warm enough and let the scorpion crawl onto your hand and go back anyway, and when he ties you to a chair and puts his hand high on your thigh you say ("what makes you think this is my first time?") --

Which is to say, I have a lot of opinions about James Bond's relationship with his body and relationship with sex and relationship with autonomy, and I'm writing a substantial amount of words of fic about it. PLOTWISE the basic scenario of the fic is that on some mission somewhere, part of the plan is for James to get someone specific into bed, and then before this actually happens, she roofies him, and the subsequent sex happens while Q has some camera somewhere on them. the following god only knows how many words are about Q (who i'm writing as aromantic but not asexual in this, because i can) slowly realizing that something really fucked up is going on here, actually, and trying to fix it, and instead fucking things up harder because he underestimated the level of fucked up inside James Bond is baseline operating at, and then eventually they do figure it out and now maybe MI6 sends someone else out when they can tell from the beginning that a certain mission is going to require sex, and maybe sometimes James and Q sleep in the same bed and don't ever ever ever fuck about it. James makes scrambled eggs in the morning. The cats steal some. It works out okay, maybe.

🍁 Day 3 | Favorite Scent of @flufftober!

Caelus was an unapologetic sweater snatcher.

Based on his distinct hobby of diving headfirst into trash cans within a five mile radius of him in hopes of searching for treasure, this shouldn't come up as a surprise.

Didn't make it any less embarrassing, though.

“There he is! Told you we'd find the little thief in here, Dan Heng!”

IT'S HONKAI STAR RAIL TIME BABYYYYY <3

Welcome to Day 3 of Flufftober, where I get to talk about one of my favorite poly ships in all of media—DanCaeMarch! Or the Astral Family, I guess? 🤔

I wanted this prompt to have something to do with clothing, so who better to have the spotlight then honorary trash panda himself—Caelus! 🐼 Enjoy!

Caelus was an unapologetic sweater snatcher.

Based on his distinct hobby of diving headfirst into trash cans within a five mile radius of him in hopes of searching for treasure, this shouldn't come up as a surprise.

In his defense, he didn't do it on purpose at first! If anyone was to blame, it would have to be Dan Heng for introducing him to the world of sharing clothes with your partner. After a particularly chilly sparring session with Yanqing—those icicle swords were no joke—, Dan Heng offered his coat to Caelus once he noticed the gray haired male was shivering.

“You can give it back to me once we're on the Express.” Those were the words uttered from his raven haired boyfriend, and so the trailblazer left it at that.

Except he never actually gave it back.

Dan Heng never said anything either, so that was more than enough for Caelus to keep that little secret to himself.

March 7th didn't make it easier on him, either.

The bubbly girl in their trio of a relationship rarely wore anything to cover herself—be it through sunny skies or stormy weathers, March always put her outfit as a number one priority. If she ever added something to her one-piece pastel/floral combo, it was only because it looked good.

Hence her being over the moon with a fuzzy sweater Natasha had given her during their next visit to Belobog.

“Check it out, you guys! No one can deny who's the cutest trailblazer on the Express now!” March was twirling and taking selfies left, right and center with her new fit, all the while bringing her boys to different places across Belobog for the entire day. It was incredibly exhausting, but neither of them had the heart to voice their protests aloud.

After their visit however, Caelus couldn't help but wonder how comfortable the sweater actually was. Stealing it was a strong word, so that wasn't it. He'd call it… borrowing.

Just like he'd borrowed Dan Heng's coat!

… and forgot to return it.

“It's not weird to want to snuggle with my partner's clothes after a long day of work, is it? Of course not, no way!” Caelus mused to himself while holding both pieces—one on each hand—above his head.

The Astral Express had just come back from a short visit to Herta's Space Station for more testing on the Simulated Universe, and the silver haired male wanted nothing more than to crash in his room with the two most important people in his life beside him.

But since Dan Heng was busy going through security checks with Arlan and March had a prior engagement with Himeko, he was all alone aboard the train. And so, their garments became his sole source of comfort while they weren't with him.

Caelus didn't have many things to call his own—a home planet, memories of a life before becoming a trailblazer, or even the answers to who, or what, he was—except for one constant truth: the Astral Express.

The people in it had become his family, and most importantly of all, his lifeline.

When there was ever any doubt, March and Dan Heng were the reason he kept going.

“God, I'm turning into such a sap…” With a long sigh, Caelus let his mind wander onto the softness of the fabrics between his fingers, relishing in the faint and subtle scents emanating from each of them as they corresponded to their owner.

Dan Heng always had a rich, earthy smell to him that Caelus could never really describe with anything other than pinecones and mirth. It was strange considering the young man barely spent time outside unless it was required for w mission, but it suited him somehow, especially now that he knew of his Vidyadhara heritage.

March was much less complicated. Sweet just like her, and with hints of peppermint that left his heart feeling warm and fuzzy despite what nature would make him think. It was a scent that reminded him of bright smiles and warm hugs and home. A content sigh escaped Caelus’ lips.

Great Akivili, he had it bad.

“There he is! Told you we'd find the little thief in here, Dan Heng!”

Caelus’ eyes flew open at the unmistakable voice of his girlfriend, calling from just outside his now wide open bedroom door. As he turned, he could see the girl pointing an accusing finger in his direction, a pout on her lips that he couldn't help but want to kiss away. Had to hold on to the intrusive thoughts for now, though.

Dan Heng stood beside her, looking as unimpressed as ever, but with a hint of amusement hidden somewhere in his dark forest eyes. He crossed his arms as he gave Caelus a look over. “Is there anything you'd like to share with the class?”

Caelus looked from one side to the other, eyes wide and most definitely looking like what others described as a ‘deer caught in headlights’. He shrugged with a sheepish smile. “Y-You guys came back early! I thought you had plans and stuff…”

March stomped from her position in the doorway, now entering Caelus’ room. After sitting down next to him on the bed, she jabbed a finger right at his chest with a look of annoyance across her face. “I was talking to Himeko about our next trip to Belobog, and then she brought up that she saw you sneaking out of my room with my favorite sweater!”

Oof. Outed by Himeko. The worst kind of betrayal.

The girl then proceeded to reach for the garment, holding her against her chest. “I've been looking everywhere for this! I was gonna show it off to Bronya the other day but couldn't find it anywhere! I figured Dan Heng or Mr. Yang must have put it in the dirty laundry by mistake, but then this guy told me he was missing one of his coats, too!”

Caelus’ gaze then shifted to Dan Heng, the slight pink in his cheeks almost impossible to subside any longer. “I, um… I-I didn't—”

“I didn't mind you keeping it. It's not like I don't have others.” The raven smiled at him slightly with an underlying fondness reserved for him and March. “I just thought that you'd give it back in your own time.”

“Wait, all this time you knew?” March's response came laced with confusion rather than annoyance. And Caelus couldn't help but feel the same. “W-Why didn't you say anything?”

Dan Heng merely shrugged. “Like I said, I thought you'd give it back in your own time. I too have fondness for the things you lend me from time to time… even if they're a little too worn for my liking.”

The trailblazer's eyebrows furrowed for a moment, only for images of him lending the Vidyadhara small things like his jacket, phone and other miscellaneous items started crossing his mind. He smiled sheepishly at the thought. It didn't happen often, but he liked sharing things with Dan Heng. Maybe this was the raven's way of saying he liked doing that too.

“Aww wait a minute! Does that mean you got to wear Caelus’ jacket?” March spoke once more, the pout returning to her lips once more as she crossed her arms in the cutest attempt at a tantrum the trailblazer had ever seen. “No fair, I wanna wear it too! Even if it is all stinky and sweaty like Caelus is…”

“Hey!” Caelus jokingly shoved against her, enveloping her entire frame in his arms with a goofy grin on his face. “I'll have you know I smell as delicate as roses! Argenti said so last time we spoke!”

March's giggles bounced across the room while she tried to escape his grasp with no avail. “Ew, he definitely did not! And if you heard that then you need to get your ears checked!”

As their giggles mixed together in the comfort of the dimly lit room, Dan Heng sneakily took a seat on the empty spot next to Caelus, wrapping an arm around the duo with another smile grazing his lips. “Himeko and Mr. Yang are still talking over some business with Asta. They might be a while. Mind if we join you?”

The gray haired male's pulse began to race as his cheeks tinted pink once more. The smile that followed after was completely unavoidable and almost felt like second nature. Everything felt like that when he was with these two. “I'd really like that… I was planning for a lonely evening anyways, hehe…”

“You dummy.” March spoke once more, still trapped within the confines of Caelus’ arms, but this time leaning upwards to give him a kiss on the tip of his nose. A pleasant chill ran across his spine. “If you wanted to cuddle, you just had to ask! No need to go around like some raccoon stealing our clothes. You're already a trash panda, anyways…”

“Hey!”

“What I'm trying to say is that we want to be here with you! We love you!” The statement was so clear and without hesitation, almost as if saying something as simple as ‘the sky is blue’. Yet March never ceased to amaze him with her bluntness.

And as Dan Heng nuzzled his chin against the top of his head, Caelus knew he felt the same.

Nothing else mattered—only them three as they eventually slept into the comfort of the night, knowing that no matter what the path of Akivili had in store for them, as long as they had each other, they could walk it without fear.

And if Himeko and Mr. Yang found them later and took a few pictures like the proud parents they were (despite Pom-Pom's insistence that ‘them being in the same room like this was inappropriate’), well, that was something they'd keep to themselves.

20 Questions For Fic Writers

@daboyau Thanks so much for the tag!!

1. How many works do you have on AO3?

15! I wrote several on ff.net too but eugh boy. Those don’t need to be read more than they have.

2. What's your total AO3 word count?

454,863. And growing!

3. What fandoms do you write for?

Only TMNT right now! Mainly Rise. I used to write MHA, I did one for FNAF Security Breach and Voltron.

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

1. Better than a hero

2. Leo Likes to Talk (Except When he Doesn’t)

3. Therapy for Robots

4. Fifteen

5. Two Sides of a Multicolored Coin

5. Do you respond to comments?

As much as possible! Especially now on Ao3 when people don’t do it as much.

6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

I guess the fic I wrote for the Disco prompt for Auvember. Almost everyone “dead” in a hive mind controlled by Casey sr. I usually don’t write angsty endings, only angsty middles hehe.

7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

Hands down, Mama Bear. I gave those turtles no Kraang, a living Karai, boyfriends and girlfriends, you name it.

8. Do you get hate on fics?

It’s only happened once or twice. Comment moderation babyyyyy.

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

NEVER EVER. I support all who do but I would be so bad at it and too shy to share haha.

10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written?

I do! I’ve written several with TMNT iterations, as well as crossovers with friends’ AUs! @phoebepheebsphibs cough cough COUGH. Craziest for sure, hive mind and even more.

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not that I’m aware of!

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

Nobody has ever asked before, so probably not.

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

Yes! Once with Daboyau and of course with phoebs

14. What’s your all time favourite ship?

Leosagi makes me feel things. Leoichi especially, two huge dorks in love!!

15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

One where sister krang escaped and started grabbing the turtles to destroy humanity. I saw someone else writing something similar and stopped lol. The concept turned into the mask fic!

16. What are your writing strengths?

Writing characters as canon as possible, dialogue, tying together concepts in a neat little bow at the end, humor I’ve been told, and hurt/comfort!

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

Describing what things and or people look like. I forget all the time and it can make it confusing.

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?

I did it a few times, I always add a translation, but it’s probably easier just to mention that something is in a different language.

19. First fandom you wrote for?

……Hetalia……

I am ashamed. It was a /reader.

20. Favourite fic you’ve written?

It is SOOO hard to pick. Either Mama Bear or No Fun in Fungus. Mama Bear holds such a big place in my heart and it’s also a reason I started talking to Daboyau which I will always be so grateful for.

No Fun in Fungus also connected me with so many people!! I really can’t pick between the two.

ao3 fic tag game!

tagged by @nonamemanga @writerrose1998 @cosmic-lullaby @nouklea @therulerofallpotatos @insomniac1994 - thank you lovelies!! 🫶🏻✨

1. How many works do you have on AO3? 10! I think I used to have 20, but I orphaned a bunch of them

2. Whats your AO3 word count? 78,177

3. What fandoms do you write for? Currently, I only write for Wednesday (2022)

4. What are your Top 5 Fics by Kudos?

(Only linking my Wednesday fics. I don’t want to promote my old H*rry P*tter fics so I will name them, but not link them)

i was so ahead of the curve, the curve became a sphere

The Progression

even if it’s just pretend

you know that my train could take you home

no one can hurt you now

5. Do you repond to comments? Yes! I didn’t like 8 years ago, but I do now. I have met a lot of my friends through my comment sections, and I also just like to thank people for stopping by and sending me love!

6. What’s the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending? Uhhhh no one can hurt you now is pretty angsty and bittersweet. I haven’t finished i was so ahead of the curve yet but rn it’s very angsty.

7. Whats the fic you wrote with the happiest ending? Lol probably you know that my train could take you home *wink* *wink*

8. Do you get hate on fics? No, I’ve been very lucky on ao3! I did one time like 10 years ago on fanfic.net and that wasn’t fun. I just sometimes get demands for updates which isn’t “hate” but I would appreciate some patience sometimes…

9. Do you write smut? I dabble on occasion! I definitely don’t feel confident in that department yet so it’s something that I’m still working on.

10. Do you write cross-overs? Not currently, no. I did one time a very long time ago.

11. Have you ever had a fic translated? No, I one time gave someone permission to translate The Progression (I think into Russian?), but I don’t think it ever happened.

12. Have you ever cowritten a fic before? I have not because I’m afraid of being an unreliable co-writer lol

13. What is a WIP you would like to finish but doubt you ever will? I will never finish my HP wips and I have made peace with that

15. What are you writing strengths? I have been told that I’m really good at writing yearning 🤌🏻 And AUs are kinda my thing

16. What are your writing weaknesses? *sigh* I’m a perfectionist so I’m incredibly slow. I will write and rewrite a paragraph to death before I can move onto another one. It’s just not an efficient way to work, and I’m trying to move away from it and let myself write and then edit later. Dialogue tags sometimes bewitch me.

17. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic? I respect and admire the hell out of anyone who writes anything in a language that is not their native tongue - all of you are rockstars! I only know English so I don’t see myself writing in another language (more than random words here and there anyway) unless I had a ton of assistance.

18. First fandom you wrote for? HP

19. Favourite fic you’ve ever written? i was so ahead of the curve fills me with immense pride, but I’m also overtly fond of even if it’s just pretend. I guess it’s a bit of a toss up. I also wrote (a loooong time ago) a semi smutty bodyswap HP fanfic that is so weird but I still love it haha.

20. What fic would you want to rewrite one day? I physically cannot allow myself to consider this as a real possibility lololol

KITTIES WINNNNN

THATS A 2-0 SERIES LEAD BABYYYYY

i never doubted them but god did they have to give me 16 heart attacks in the course of the game

[beauleifu]

THAT ONE ANON IS BACK WITH THEIR HEADCANONS BABYYYYY

So I think syntax would secretly want plushies as gift LIKE buy him one and he'll keep it forever

I think syntax is kinda bad at cooking I mean he could do spaghetti n easy stuff like that. He would had a hard time making a soup while u are sick or he'll just buy it from somewhere idk?

I think when he was a child people would call him nerd 24/7 and people still do that anyways

I think he would listen podcast instead of songs...(nerd)

I HAVE A FEELING THAT HE USED TO HAVE A IGUANA NAMED "JOHNY" IDK WHY

I think when someone compliments him (especially u) he gets flustered easily

IMAGINE IF HIS S/O IS USING HIM AS A BODYPILLOW he wouldnt even move he would be like 🧍 because he is scared that he'll wake u up

YESSSSSS WELCOME BACK YOURE THE BEST

reaching out throughtumblr to give you a big fat hug dude (if you'll have one of course)

ANYWAYS, AHEM

YES. ANON. PLZ, YES. So first off, one of Syntax's love languages IS gifts to begin with, so he'll treasure anything you give him no matter what (take the friendship bracelet in Heartstrings for example. Tacky, isn't his style, but he wears it almost constantly). But secretly, in the deepest, darkest corners of his desires, he'd really like something like a plushie I suppose. I can also imagine him wanting programming tools or things that would help him in the technological aspects of his life. But yes, plushies would NOT be turned down.

And sure! I know in Heartstrings I've made it clear that Syntax can cook with INSTRUCTIONS, of course. He can cook food as long as there's a set list of how to prep it, just like there's a set procedure to program, and also set scientific variables. He's not good with going rogue, to put it blandly (unless it's USING those set variables to create something.) But yea, put him in the kitchen and ask him to create something, he won't JUST explode your toaster, no sir.

He's actually come to terms with the nerdy nicknames. It tells him that people know he's smart, that they're aware of his abilities. He actually wouldn't mind it if people underestimated him, because it's easier to impress and surpass them that way.

Take canon Syntax for example. In the Sleep Bug episode, he was keen on not fighting MK head on, instead using cleverly worded insults to give a punch, but not too much.

MK assumed that Syntax was just another spider demon, and also one who was unwilling to take him on. Assuming Syntax was scared.

But ho boy.

Syntax preferred it this way. He preferred to have MK underestimate him because now, when MK had to face off the spider gang, Syntax had already taken over half the city with HIS tech gadgets, HIS weaponized machinery. The people were rendered helpless zombies because of Syntax's creations, and it was only due to godly forces outside of Syntax's control that his operation went sideways.

He was the backbone of the entire operation.

He knows his self worth and will only doubt himself if the people he cares about make clear any complaints or faults in his character. Which normally never happens, but ever since you came along . . . well.

AND YES. PETS. Okay Syntax does neglect himself far too much to even consider the fact that he might be very adept at taking care of other people (turns out, he is, for the most part). But animals??

Dude's only companions back when he was a kid were animals (kids didn't want to hang out with someone who tested them on the table of elements and what an atomic bomb is composed of). I can totally imagine him having a pet iguana and naming it Johnny. Sure, his social skills were not the best, but having a pet at that age taught him how to properly nurture others and care for them. Also sensing if something is wrong (something that was only heightened by the spider venom). Cause like, how hard would it have been to tell if an iguana was sick or not. Syntax must've trained himself to notice the little things.

And YES. But like, only if it's someone he cares about or has feelings for.

If a random person or a coworker complimented his tech skills, he'd brush it off pompously like "Yes, I know. Now get back to work."

Inside, it's a little ego boost.

Said ego boost only increases if the compliment came from someone like you. Dude would easily get flustered and try to hide it, but you find it absolutely adorable!

DUDE DUDE DUDE. Syntax is TOUCHED STARVED. I REPEAT. Physical contact is foreign but he's secretly desperate for it. Sure it's strange and new and scary and he might shy away the first time, but if you're patient and take small steps, he'll learn to embrace it (like, full on sweep you off your feet, take you to the couch, and refuse to let you go for at least three minutes. He likes the things you talk about when it's quiet.)

THANK YOU FOR THESEEEE!! I'm sorry i spawned a bunch of headcanons here we are molding his past like clay

30,363! my goal for the year was to hit 20k total so ive already smashed that

3. What fandoms do you write for?

f1 babyyyyy

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

something borrowed (my first fic which im genuinely quite proud of)

tip of the tongue (literally just pwp)

treat with care (girl brainrot)

no poor substitute (my a/b/o unwellness which was. shockingly well received)

helping hand (esteban hand propaganda)

5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

i WANT TO but i always feel so awkward and i never know what to say 😭 i dont know how to adequately express my emotions so i just end up. never getting around to it and i feel BAD ABOUT IT

6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

muscle memory... its like. my singular angsty fic. the ending is nice and hopeful right up until i shatter it with a hammer but it Had to be done. its simply how it is.

7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

i think all the other ones!! possibly no poor substitute or treat with care because they both end on an "oh this is a New Relationship now" while something borrowed and tip of the tongue are both more like. we were already hooking up but i guess its serious now.

8. Do you get hate on fics?

no and if i ever did i would cry forever

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

almost exclusively jdkjhdkjhs it is my Favored Terrain. i feel like my smut is. emotional and grounded? or at least thats what i hope.

my singular wip on ao3 is on anon and... i dont know if i'll ever finish it but i hope i will at some point. and as for unpublished wips... i have a lot. i dont know if ill ever get around to finishing most of them.

16. What are your writing strengths?

i have consulted the gang and i have been told that i am good at tying the physical and emotional together (which is something i do Deliberately try to do as much as i can) and that i am very meticulous with what words i choose to use to carry a mood

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

DIALOGUE GOOD GOD. every single bit of dialogue ive ever written has been like pulling teeth. the thing is i dont know how to talk like a human person and i dont know how human people talk so it is my worst nightmare. one of my eternal wips is one i started and got like 3k words into before realizing that the dialogue would have to do the heavy lifting for the rest of the fic and then i was like "oh god damn it im an idiot arent i". also sentence structure that isnt subject-verb-object. but im kind of leaning into it tbh.

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?

my honest to be honest opinion is just. write the dialogue in english and if you NEED to specify what language the character is speaking just be like "he says in [language]" UNLESS the pov character doesnt understand what theyre saying. literally simple as that.

19. First fandom you wrote for?

f1 baby!!! this is literally the first fandom that has broken through the barrier in my brain thats kept me from writing fic my entire life. not even amc's the terror 2018 could do that.

20. Favourite fic you’ve written?

honestly? something borrowed. it was the first fic i ever completed literally in my life and i have such a soft spot for it and people were so UNBELIEVABLY nice to me about it!!!!

[wisemins]

babyyyyy! may i have knock knock and nightmare for you and giyuu? :3

AMIRA BABYYY <333 GREAT CHOICES OMGGG knock knock (who’s there?) : was it easy for you to confess your feelings for each other? WOOF this question. SOOOO in mainline canon, the confession happened like right before the end of the entire series. It took both of us forever, because we both doubted each other's feelings, and it was a lot of *physically recognizing we wanted to be together and protecting each other and being there for one another*, but no saying it out loud. We were both too scared to, and then it happened. In mainline, we jump right into marriage, since that's just how it was! But in Modern!AU, we confessed after months and months of spending every waking moment together, and we ended up choosing the same time to do it so we were both really awkward gremlins about it! Then the dating and THEN the marriage. Confessing was hard in both runs, because we both are the way we are FIOUHASD

nightmare : do either of you have nightmares? how do you comfort each other after? LOVE this question as a chronic nightmare haver! I used to have very pleasant dreams every single night with the occasional nightmare, but nowadays as of maybe...a year or so now I've been only having nightmares every single night. I know it's all due to stress n whatever but they're there, every night. Giyuu is great at comforting me after a nightmare, since all I really need in the frightening moments of waking up from them is to be held and to be told that it's okay. Sometimes I wake up in terror, other times I'll have my full sleep cycle during one long nightmare and wake up as normal, only I'm jarred from said nightmare. Giyuu will just help me get my mind off of it, start our days off better than usual if the nightmare was particularly bad. I'm mostly just lucky if I can forget it before I'm fully awake usually! Giyuu has his fair share of nightmares, if he's not dreaming, he's having them. But most nights he wont have any dreams that he can remember. He almost never tells me what his nightmares are about, unless it's especially bad, in which I'll just talk him through it and comfort him until he goes back to bed. I'll make sure to hold him close and run my fingers through his hair, that usually helps him the most. We both really are a huge help when it comes to having nightmares, since we both have PLENTY of them to go around. Before we were together, we just kind of had to suffer in silence and cope alone, but it's much better now that we have each other, thankfully!

anyways, imma get my beauty sleep. wake me up ONLY if the dabihawks divorce appears on the pv

Michael and David (Separate) x Reader with OCD

Franchise: The Lost Boys

Pairings: Michael Emerson x reader, David x reader

Also Featured: Literally every other character in the movie, even if it’s a one-bullet point vague 

Warnings: Discussion of OCD and the various symptoms. Murder, blood, evil vampire shit ykyk. Anyone is free to read, with or without OCD! 

A/N: Mainly self-indulgent like most of my OCD stuff is. I’m kind of shaky on my portrayal of David since I feel like I see him softer than other people tend to write him as (He’s still an asshole I’m not ignoring that part completely) and it may or may not be noticeable in this? But also who cares, if you don’t like my slightly skewed portrayal of him, it’s completely fine not to read it :). You can’t get Michael wrong he’s like a graham cracker that’s slightly sweeter than normal just writing what you think he acts like and you’re good /hj. Everyone’s OCD is different and this is drawing from my experiences but hopefully other people will be able to relate to at least part of it. I’ve also never been in a relationship so I’m just ~guessing~ on how I would react with OCD. I’m also going to try out text symbols/emoji’s for characters the next few non-Whumptober posts (you’ll see what I mean). These symbols are semi-based on their earrings in the movie :).

- Word Count - 

Michael: 991

David: 982

(I’m pretty sure it counted the emojis as words lol)

❂ Michael Emerson ❂

 My darling idiot boy 💖💖💖

He’s not going to know much about it, probably most familiar with the adjectivized version of it.  

(There’s a whole jumble of OCD history that happened in the 80’s. While some sources state it wasn’t considered a common illness like it is now, it was a point where they started turning away from Freud method and developing OCD therapy still in use to this day. Regardless, I doubt Michael would know that much beforehand.)

If he ever misused the term or stereotyped/glamorized the symptoms before or at the start of your relationship, it was done 100% out of misinformation instead of malice. 

Still doesn’t mean you can’t put him in his place though ;)

His brain runs on pure lovestruck energy so when he sees you??? Pretty person???? 

You have him hooked dude.

And once he finds out you have OCD he’s going to do his diddly darn best to research it. 

Goes to Sam because Sam knows a lot about everything. He’s a smart boy.

But general research can only go so far and he really reluctantly goes to you for personal thoughts and experiences. It isn’t because he doesn’t want to, he just doesn’t want to upset you by bringing up topics you might be uncomfortable with even though, if you’re like me, you probably wish more people had the desire to discuss it with you directly. 

Also got pretty shocked and sad reading about all the stuff people with OCD go through. It’s good to know the immense variety of symptoms though and this boy is prepared 💪

Completely understands any physical boundaries you have and doesn’t take any offence to them. They’re part of you, he loves you and isn’t ever going to think about making you uncomfortable and if he is he’s begging you to tell him. You aren’t a burden, boundaries are important. 

Need to take a shower after he comes over? Alright babe have a good one. 

Need to disinfect the place he was sitting on? Alright babe it’s good to be conscious of germs anyway who knows where he’s been. 

^ If he ever told Sam about that Sam would 100% say that to him I don’t make the rules.

Won’t touch anything he isn’t told he can, especially food. Food contamination is already a widespread concern as is, so if you’re worried about that, have no fear he will not go near the kitchen without permission.

Feel better not having people at your place at all? Whatever, the boardwalk is super fun and he has hand sanitizer at the ready babyyyyy. 

But he also understands the general public can be gross so he’ll try his best to ‘protect’ you, whatever that means to you. 

If a person coughs at you he’s lowkey considering throwing hands. 

Please do not. 

Worries about your skin from how many times you wash your hands, it’s really sweet he looks so concerned. 

Time for some pure self-indulgence

Just thinks the ritual wear you have to touch him with both hands and/or touch him multiple times is the cutest thing ever. 

He doesn’t try to baby you but touch is his love language or something because he loves it. 

Let’s you release some tension to so win-win. 

Tries to keep track of what words/phrases you need to repeat and how many times. 

Go ahead and repeat that same song over and over, he just sits there with this dumb little smile like :)

He reacts to everything like :). You would think he would get exasperated at some (understandable) point, but he really doesn’t.

He’s an extremely patient person when he wants to be and who better to have that patience with than his lovely partner ;). 

Whenever you make progress in overcoming a fear, whether it be pertaining to the relationship or not, he’s congratulating you because it’s a celebration! 

If you go to therapy, asks about it (if you’re comfortable) and silently wonders if you bring him up. 

Really good at easing any paranoia, even if he can’t take it away completely. 

A lot of “Hey, it’s okay!” and validation in a soft raspy voice and oh man, am I crying. 

Intimacy is hard and that includes emotional intimacy so will be extremely proud when you come to a point where you can share your intrusive thoughts with him. No matter how vague or intimate, he’s right there with you.

Because they’re scary! And super hard to share with people! 

Isn’t put off or thinks lesser of you at all, he knows they’re not an expression of your true mentality or feelings.

If you don’t share them with him, he makes sure he always supports you, even if he doesn’t know exactly what’s going on. 

Runs a tight ship with everyone around you who knows. Everyone is accepting because I say so (Lucy especially is soooo nice about it) but Michael is just so in tune with you he can tell when you’re uncomfortable and what makes you that way. It’s best to talk to him about it because as mentioned earlier, he gets a little heated. 

WILL buy you an “OCD is not an adjective) shirt/sweatshirt/hoodie and has mastered the annoyed glare at people who misuse the term. 

If you’re around during the whole vampire debacle, his thought process, when seeing all the blood and gunk, is your own comfortableness (on top of your safety of course, if he could prevent it he would absolutely keep you away from everything)

Buddy boy, your whole house got destroyed worrying about this is very sweet but it’s not really a big issue in regards to the big picture-

But seriously, any symptom I didn’t mention or any symptom that easily overlaps with other mental illnesses or disorders, he’s alright with. 

Because stupid half-vampire boy loves you and I want to kiss his stupid half-vampire face, covered in blood and sweat or not. 

♝ David ♝

David is ~not like Michael~

He doesn’t like to be touched, likes to do things a certain way (his way), and really doesn’t have a filter.

But…. he will try.

He will try for you. 

He’s very observant so he will pick up on the way you react to things. Moving away from someone when they walk by you, the repetition of touch or words as noticeable as possible, the constant cleaning of your hands. Oh yeah, he notices all of it. 

He knows about it, he didn’t really care. You can’t go on living as long as he has without learning about a plethora of mental and physical ailments, but why would he care if the person he was hunting and killing had anxiety or a skin issue? A meal was a meal, a required thing. 

But, despite his dickishness, he will be respectful. Or, as respectful as he can. 

1. Because you make him feel this soft fuzzy shit in his heart (Rude) and even if you don’t like it, you’re the most vulnerable* member in the pack now and will be the one handling David’s rage, congratulations. 

2. On this blog we support “David is a mama's boy” and his mamma didn’t raise no bitch and even if he has since turned into said bitch he still has some core value yk?

SO going back up to the *. Vulnerable = Weak, at least to him. Not even in a mean way (Although it will definitely be in a mean way if you piss him off because toxic), but it’s still not really a great thing to say to someone, especially a neurodivergent person. Even the people who like to be babied are going to get pissed off on the way he talks about it so after much too many times, he finally stops using that word. 

He’s a rat, he’s grimy and he really only half-cares about being aware of it. 

But that also means he’s half-aware so while he is going to put his nasty, dirt-covered body on the couch, he’s going to lay in a way where it isn’t getting packed into the fabric so you can clean it easier after he leaves. 

Doesn’t see the “big deal” on why he can’t get his own food but after you’re on the brink of tears from how frustrated you are he has an “oh shit” moment and lays off. 

Which… sir you are a vampire why are you even digging around for food anyways. 

He wants to stay the night, which may be a HUGE uncomfortable germaphobia mess for you but he wants to sleep in your bed goddammit 😤😤

He’s down to take a shower before he gets in….if you take one with him-

He’s nasty but hey, you’re the one dating him. 

Picks up on your hand washing habit. That’s the one thing he’s really good at, having clean hands before he touches you or gives you anything. 

The boys are very confused on why he washes his bloodied hands immediately after a kill, but at least it’s teaching Laddie some hygiene habits that he doesn’t get by living in an actual cave. 

Speaking of which- 

David really tried to get the place as clean as possible before you came over, even going so far as to steal a vacuum to get the dust and dirt out of the coach.

(There’s an old one in the cave, but it’s busted up beyond repair.)

You know, you’re probably going to take a shower after regardless but it does help a little and he is rewarded with some affection (to which he does :/) 

The boys are loud and in everyone’s face, but he puts them in their place immediately. Dwayne is pretty good with boundaries, Star will keep Laddie away from you or at least keep him calm around you and not touching. 

Someone: LMAO I’M SO OCD RIGHT NOW

David: So you have chosen,, death.

Has definitely killed one or two people that did that and your knowledge of the incidents is not guaranteed. 

But hey at least he’s being a good ally /j

If you’re touching habits are directed at him he tries to act annoyed but honestly can’t for long once he sees how embarrassed you get. 

That’s him for a lot of this honestly; whenever he sarcastically quips about your repetition or anything like that, just know he has heart eyes for you. 

But like, internally. 

HAS NO ROOM TO JUDGE YOUR INTRUSIVE THOUGHTS and he knows it. 

Talk to him about it, he’s kind of pushy which isn’t right but it’s in good faith. 

He’s not judgy but he does get concerned about some of the things you tell him. Takes him a hot minute to understand that isn’t your true feelings and that he needs to be careful about the things he tells you so you don’t get more intrusive thoughts. 

Once he gets that though, he gets the softest look on his face and his eyes are just so warm and he’s nodding along to whatever you’re explaining and calming you down with hushed whispers when you get upset. 

Yeah, he’s good. 

Any therapy or medication endeavor you want to try, go for it kitten he’ll threaten and kill whoever he has to for you to be comfortable. 

Whoever made up the kitten thing I hate you it’s so accurate but you’re wrong for that one

All in all, he’s not the best but he’s genuinely trying and will continue to do so as long as you’re together. He wouldn’t have gone through all the trouble of making that huge, dirt free nest in the cave for you or holding back on the more uncleanly intimacy stuff if he didn’t actually like you. You’re his mate and your accomplishments are his world so do just know he loves and respects you.
