crystal clear ,, vanitas x black!gn!reader

requested by @starzwr1tingparadise

i decided maybe vanitas comforts you? *i was inspired by a tsukiyama fic i saw on ao3 of him comforting the reader, something i doubt would rlly happen*

so like the reader has this freakishly big afro -- and im working with some weird metaphor with that

You didn't feel like talking.

But he felt like listening.

Vanitas wasn't always the type to pester someone who clearly doesn't want all that unneeded bullshit. But he guessed it was since he was always exposed to Noe Archiviste the vampire's eccentric personality rubbed off onto him. Curse that bastard.

The vampire doctor never noticed how flamboyant and voluminous your hair was until he was just up close with you. For you it wasn't new—people loved to compliment or even touch your hair. Though the latter was something you weren't cool with...hands are the most filthiest part of a person's body in your mind. Who knew what else they touched...

Though when Vanitas hesitantly patted the bed of keratin, you didn't feel upset at all. As his fingers sank into the sea of curls he felt the need to pull out, but entangled strands of hair had him sinking further. Soon he was at your scalp and slowly massaged your head.

"...Vanitas what are you doing." Right you still could respond, this wasn't a dream.

"Sorry, I just saw how frustrated you've been and...thought you needed a message." You were looking forward so he couldn't see your face, but as you turned his heart beat began to slow.

"You don't need to stop, I actually like it."

"...That's nice. Why are you so...aggravated nowadays?" He felt you tense up at the question. His actions halted that is until you did a deep breath.

"You ever felt like punching everybody in the face."

"I can't relate." That was a lie. Pure lie. He has...he just felt that's what you say in such a situation.

"Well I feel like punching everybody in the face and kicking them square in the crotch, man or a bitch." Vanitas jolted at the fact before stilling. That wasn't nice to hear considering he did do something you normally consider rude—

"Not you though, your cool. Maybe if you were Noe I would've. You never do stuff like this, y'know Vanitas?" That's right this is something Noe would do. Well that was comforting to hear you were cool with him though.

"You know, [...], your afro reminds me of rebellion."

"What?" That was unexpected, especially since you hail from a rather prestigious wealthy family of nobles.

"Just think about it: your family members all have their hair slicked back, straightened, or kept in a controlled pattern if they were to retain their natural hair pattern. You on the other hand maintaain the wildness of your curls and let it shape itself rather than let other's shape it."

"This wildness about you, is something admirable...so [...] next time you feel like punching every being in existence do come talk to me. You may ruin the chances of us being able to end this wild goose chase..."

idk if you like this @starzwr1tingparadise but i liked it cause i kept getting my attention stolen from spotify, my discord notifs--life...so yea.
