17. holding hands while skating [AJ/Nate]

A while back @emeraldgreaves (it won't let me tag your main :|) sent me this prompt for one of my Wayhaven girls or whoever. I filled it for the "whoever" at the time, but had a couple Wayhaven ideas. The AJ/Nate one fleshed out first, so enjoy some post-book three flirting and fun. :D ---

The skating rink was surprisingly quiet tonight. While still housing a decent crowd, it was only half as full as was usual on the weekend. People must be taking advantage of the nicer weather to do things outdoors.

Which was fine by Abigail. Fewer witnesses to what would undoubtedly involve flailing on her part.

"Have you really never done this before?" Nate asked, arm draped around her shoulders as they headed for a bench to pull on their skates.

"Not once," she laughed sheepishly, plunking down and picking at the laces on her Doc Martens. Shoulda worn easier to get off shoes.... She pulled her hair back in a ponytail for good measure. This would be tricky enough without it falling in her face.

"It's not hard," he assured her, pushing to his feet. Steady, no wobble as he waited for her to take his offered hand. "It's very similar to dancing."

"Well, unfortunately, a chuisle," Abigail ran her foot against the floor and watched the skate wheels spin, "I've never done that, either."

She took his hand and let him pull her to her feet. Feet that immediately went in opposite directions, forcing Nate to wrap an arm around her waist and pull her close so they didn't go sprawling across the floor.

"No?" His eyes were dancing with laughter and heat, loose wisps of his own tied-back hair so perfectly framing the warm brown depths she couldn't've looked away with a gun to her head. He kissed her forehead. "Then I suppose I'll have to teach you, won't I?"

She bit her lip even as she grinned, heat filling her face and... regions lower. "I'll try not to be too fast a learner, yeah?"

Her feet started to skid, and Nate tightened his grasp on her waist. "And I'll try not to enjoy it too much, ya rouhi," he murmured.

"Enjoy it as much as y'like," Abigail said playfully, eyes still locked with his. Settling into their relationship had uncovered a bold streak she didn't know she had, and that was every bit as thrilling as the smile Nate was giving her.

"I could say the same to you," he returned, stealing a kiss before carefully releasing her and shifting to stand mostly-behind her. His hands still rested on her arms, one hand clasped with hers for balance(and connection) as he started explaining how to move, turn, stop.

True to her word, Abigail was not a particularly fast learner, though that was only part on purpose. She clung to Nate's hand as they made slow loops of the rink, leaning into the steady support he offered. "So, how d'you know how to skate so well?"

Nate laughed. "Oh, my knowledge is purely rudimentary; Felix is the skilled one in this regard." He shifted his grip to guide her in a curve.

With what she knew of him and how well this was going, Abigail was fairly sure that was downplaying but didn't call him on it. "Rudimentary works just fine for me." She leaned into him and they teetered a moment before he compensated. "This is for fun, I just need t' be good enough to keep my feet."

"I can definitely help with that," he said warmly. Their pace slowed, and he started to loosen his grip with one hand. "Do you trust me, AJ?"

"Yes," she replied before the words had fully left his mouth, and felt him still for a moment before recalling where they were. You know I do.

"Thank you," Nate murmured, then cleared his throat. "I was thinking we could try a twirl?"

Images filled her mind; his dancing comparison, ballroom scenes from movies when women twirled like tops under the upraised arm of their partner.

Her grip on his other hand tightened. "I dunno, Nate. That's not just trusting you; I'm not sure m'balance is up to the task."

"I have faith in you," he said, a smile in his voice. "Just one try? If you aren't comfortable, I have no objections to holding you this close the rest of the night, ya rouhi."

Face as red as her hair, Abigail bit her lip and nodded. "Alright. One try." Even if she muffed it, the worst that would happen was bruised dignity(and maybe her tailbone).

She felt immediately less steady when he took one hand away, raising their still-joined pair so she could spin under them. It was an awkward start, and the follow-through moreso, but she did keep her feet under her. Just barely. She was groping for his other hand even before she finished.

"I knew you could do it," Nate smiled, reeling her in close again.

"I think... I'd rather no' do that again, yeah?" she admitted once tucked back against his chest, his other hand now on her waist for balance. "At least not t'night."

"Your wish is my command," he murmured into her hair, and didn't let go the rest of the night.

[sturnioz]

about the one where fratboy!chris doesn't let shy!reader meet his family I THOUGHT ABT SOMETHING

sooo imagine chris's mom otp while he's with reader then reader gets her hopes up thinking chris would somehow mention who he's with right now but he doesn't and it ends up into reader with hurt feelings and chris just being an asshole like it's no big deal

i lowkey wanna be hurt rn GIMME ANGST

you're staring wide eyed at chris, completely captivated at the voice he uses to talk to marylou on the phone — his tone soft and gentle, almost childlike, and he grins at the words she speaks, his eyes twinkling with warmth, causing a smile to creep across your lips.

it's a side of him you've never seen before, and you can't help but feel a flutter of admiration in your chest.

as he walks around his room, his phone cradled in one hand and a pile of clothes in the other, you're stuck watching how tenderly he engages with his mother. his expression constantly shifts between playful to genuine care and adoration.

"yeah, ma. everythin' is good," chris hums softly, placing his phone on the desk and pressing the speaker icon, allowing his mother's voice to fill the room. "classes are good too."

"and how is nick? has he been over recently?"

"y'know nick would rather die than come into the frat house—"

"oh, chris, you know i don't like you saying things like that to me. don't say that."

"sorry, ma," chris apologises sincerely, and you're taken aback by the softness in his tone. it's a complete contrast to the condescending way he usually speaks to you, often laced with sarcasm and mockery. the apology feels so genuine that it makes your heart flutter once more. "he doesn't like it here. prefers to meet up some place else."

"as long as you're seeing each other, that's all that matters," marylou says softly. "'cos your dad and i were worried that you wouldn't spend much time with him with your new living arrangements and all."

"no, no. we're good, we see each other a lot," chris reassures her as he pulls his jeans up his legs, threading his belt through the loops. "you don't need to worry, ma. i promise. we're actually goin' to get dinner tonight. nate's comin' along too."

you knew about the dinner tonight — though you weren't invited of course, you were all too aware of the plans.

"oh, nate," marylou coos softly at the mention of him. "and how is—"

her words are cut off when the book resting in your lap slips from your grasp and falls to the ground with a loud thud, causing chris' head to snap in your direction, momentarily pausing mid-motion.

he then grabs his plain white t-shirt, glaring at you as your lips form a tight-lipped, apologetic smile as you reach down to retrieve the book, your neck and cheeks burning with embarrassment. chris shakes his head at you with a quiet scoff, clearly unimpressed.

"is anyone there with you?" marylou asks curiously, her tone riddled with warmth and inviting.

your heart races as your head shoots up, a mix of nerves and excitement bubbling up inside you. you take a deep breath, ready to introduce yourself properly, hoping to make a good first impression.

"no. just some dumb frat kid next door makin' noise." chris immediately shuts it down, his tone dismissive, and your smile immediately drops from your face, a wave of discomfort twisting in your stomach and chest.

the disappointment stings more than you expected, and you can't help but feel small under his words. you tune out chris and marylou's conversation now, the warmth you felt just moments ago fading into an ache deep within you. mindlessly, you flip through the pages of you book, the words blurring together as your interest in that simmers too.

you don't even realise chris is saying goodbye to his mom, using a sweet tone that would have definitely made you swoon if you were paying attention. you completely miss the heartfelt 'i miss yous' and 'i love yous' shared between them too.

it's only when you feel the bed dip that your attention snaps back to reality, and you raise your gaze to see chris sitting on the edge, pulling on a pair of white socks before reaching for his black converse.

"m'gonna get matt to take you back to your place," chris announces nonchalantly, as if his earlier words hadn't left an impact. "gotta go that way t'get nick anyways."

"'kay." you reply, trying to keep your tone light.

chris twists his head to peer over his shoulder at you, his fingers busy tying his laces. his brows furrow in confusion as he stares at you. "what?"

you murmur back, "what?"

"whats the matter with you?" he asks, annoyance creeping into his voice. "actin' all weird on me. quieter than usual—"

"why didn't you tell your mom i was with you?" the question slips out before you can even think to stop it, a mix of hurt and vulnerability lacing your words.

chris gives you a look that makes you feel foolish, as if you've just asked the most ridiculous question. "why would i?"

his bluntness stings again, and you feel a flush of embarrassment wash over you. it's not just the question that bothers you; it's the slow realisation that he doesn't see how much you wish to be acknowledged, to be part of his world in a way that feels meaningful — more than a casual hook-up, maybe even as a friend.

you swallow hard, trying to gather your thoughts. "i just thought... maybe it would be nice, is all."

chris shrugs, turning back to his shoes. "s'not a big deal, kid."

"it is to me." the words slip out before you can hold them back again, a somewhat desperate plea for an understanding.

"why?" he asks immediately, looking back at you once more. "it shouldn't mean shit to you."

"you know my mom," you state. "you... you've spoken to my mom before, and—"

"'cos that was your choice, kid. yeah? 'n this is my choice," he points to his chest to emphasis his words, the intensity in his eyes making your heart race. "y'want me to tell my mom that i've got some girl in my room? have her question shit? nah... i keep my family life separate to what i do here."

his words hit hard. you understand his need for boundaries, but it hurts to feel so easily dismissed, and the ache in your chest deepens. you want to argue back, to make him see your side, but the words catch in your throat and you fall silent,

[luceafarul-de-dimineata]

a noble runs into MC and the nobody devil while they’re on a date and MC introduces them to each other when confronted…

didn’t mean to annoy you by being clumsy and sending 3 asks in a row. apologies🤦

It'a fine, pussy, my imbox is empty, so there's no tragedy in giving the same request multiple times. For my sake, I'll just name the demon Marian, but you can imagine anything else instead.

Whb nobles seeing MC with another devil

Zagan

He was just going on his morning jog when he spotted you and Marian

Everyone in Gehenna knows everyone else in Gehenna, so don't be surprised that they know eachother.

Zagan would be kind of shy when getting closer to you and nod at the two of you

"Oh, hi Zagan! This is Marian, my boyfriend."

His face doesn't change much but you can tell that the realisation struck him

He shakes Marian's hand and leaves.

You should be thankful it was him that found you two and not someone more... aggressive

Astaroth

He's stuck

On one hand, this is such an amazing love story plot.

The child of Solomon, the human that could have them all settles with a nobody.

They are everything and he's just Marian

The drama, the romance, the tragedy that could spur out of something like this

He's all for it

But on the other hand, really?

You have all the kings drooling after you, all the nobles lining up to make a carpet out of their bodies so you won't have to step on dirt, and you choose... Marian?

Humans trully are fascinating creatures

He doesn't say anything when he sees the two of you, just hiding behind a corner and observing. He's really invested now, be ready to find his newly published novel about a queen falling for a layman on your nightstand

Bimet

He audibly gasps

He is revolted, he is insulted, he is disgusted

How fucking dare you

He doesn't know who that demon is, nor does he care

He would power walk between you two and look only into your eyes.

"MC, I didn't think I would find you! Who's the accessory you have with you? What's his purpose and when will he expire?"

"That's my boyfriend Marian."

"Hahaha, you're soooo funny! You're already dating Mammon. Do you really need something as... insignificant as this devil?"

You start arguing with Bimet until he just picks Marian up and takes you to the royal quert.

When Mammon gives the verdict that you can date anyone you want, Bimet's entire attitute changes.

He congratulates you for finding such a handsome devil and wishes you both ferwell.

Glasylabolas

Oh ho ho ho, now this, this is interesting

He's gonna have the time of his life with this one

First, he takes pictures of you two on the date, holding hands, hugging, any physical contact works

Then he makes his presence known

He's a lot more cheerful than usual and he eggs both of you on.

He acts like you two being together was his OTP all along, talking about how you two are just made for eachother

"Oh, but MC, why haven't you told his majesty Leviathan about your blooming relationship with this young fella? Should I do the honorifics myself?"

He doesn't wait for an answer, he just summons his coffin and teleports to Leviathan's throne room to tell him the gossip.

Seeing you and your boyfriend hanging put a smile on his face

Next time, try not to get caught

Stolas

He just shoots the guy

No warning, no anything

He doesn't want to hear your complaints

A vermin was touching the child of Solomon in a romantic manner

Avisos' one law is to not steal someone else's partner

And you're clearly dating Beelzebub, so Stolas was just enforcing the law

You had to rush your boyfriend to Paradise Lost to get treatment, but Stolas won't apologise

You have to explain to him step by step that 1. You're not dating Beelzebub and 2. You chose to date Marian because you genuinly love him

It takes him a while to process, and he still has doupts, but he'll pay for the treatment of your boyfriend

Ronové

You don't see or hear him coming, you just feel his arms snake around your neck

He congratules you for getting a boyfriend and shakes the devils hand.

He's actually very chill about the whole ordeal, but he seems weirdly fascinated about the other demon's sex life

He really doesn't want the child of Solomon to get sexually frustrated

He would offer to show him how its done, but you slapped Ronové before you could finish

He just chuckles and hands the devil a business card

Before he leaves, he whispers in your ear "if he doesn't treat you well, chop his dick off. Or better, ask me to do it."

Andrealphus

At least it's not an angel

When Andrealphus walk closer to the two of you, your date starts shaking in fear

Andrealphus just smiles and hugs you since he hasn't seen you in a while (insert blind joke here)

He smiles at your date, which doesn't help make him look less intimidating

As long as that devil doesn't pose a threat to you, he's fine with letting you date whoever you want

Your date might faint after Andrealphus leaves, but you both are glad that nobody got murdered.

Buer

He's confused and a bit offended

I mean, Lucifer is right there

It kind of reminds him of that story Lucifer once told him about his younger self. How he fell in love with a human princess but the princess chose some random dude instead of him and he got depressed.

He doesn't want that to happen again so he probably would move you and your new sweetheart to different sides of the hospital

If you try to comfront him about it he's just like "You are under my care and he's under Marbas' care, there's no reason for him to be in the same wing as you"

He wants to break you two off, but not directly. So he just hopes that the physical distance between you and your boyfriend would make the relationship deteriorate by itself.

Would probably stop only if Lucifer tells him to knock it off

turtely's OTP challenge

read day 21 on ao3!

prompt: buying flowers for the other

summary: John finds flowers and poems in his locker. The notes are signed with 'SH', but John has no idea who his secret admirer could be.

Gen, 880 words, Fluff, AU - High School. Secret Admirer, Love Poems, Flowers, Shy Sherlock Holmes

or read it here (because i miss posting my ficlets on tumblr):

❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀

John opened his locker and reached for his French workbook. His hand stopped moving halfway there. A french daisy lay on top of his books. A note was wrapped around it...

"You love me,

you love me not..."

"What the...?" John mumbled, staring at the daisy in his hand.

"John!" Mike crashed into him from behind. "Why do you look like you just saw a ghost?"

"I... uh I think someone left a daisy in my locker," John held it out to him, but kept the note.

"Oh my gosh, is it a secret admirer?!"

"What! No!" John waved that idea off.

***

Three days later John just finished his rugby training when he came back to his locker. He opened it and rose petals flew over him. A note was amonst them.

"Roses are red,

violets are blue.

I might be mad,

but I like you.

-SH"

John grunted and kicked his backpack softly. Whoever thought it was romantic to put roses in his locker forgot about the mess they made along with it. He cleaned it up, but sone small part inside him queried who "SH" was...

***

The next time there was an actual flower bouquet in it. Tulips. John had to smile, he loved tulips. He caught himself looking for a note. There, behind his English workbook, he found it.

"I dream of tulips,

yellow, blue, the leaves are green.

I dream of my lips on your lips,

no inbetween.

-SH"

John laughed. The poems really weren't that great... however he couldn't help but wonder, who the secret admirer was. SH... Sabrina Hollen from his English class? Susanne Heeling from biology? Sabrina constantly joked around with him and Susanne seemed to stare at him but whenever he tried to look her in the eyes... she looked away, cheeks pink.

Or could it be... No, no way the serious chemistry nerd would hide flowers in... but what if? Doesn't matter. It's not him... and besides, John wasn't gay.

John hadn't noticed he had crumbled up the note in his hand. When he flattened it again, he saw a PS on the backside.

"Meet me tomorrow. 3pm at Speedy's."

***

"Just don't get killed," Mike said over the phone.

"I'll be fine," John allayed. "Okay. I'm here. I'll text you."

"Alright. Enjoy. No murders!"

John rolled his eyes, "I'll do my best to not get murdered."

"That's my man. Don't forget to text!"

"Yes, yes. Bye now!" John hung up.

He was here. At Speedy's. Going to meet his secret admirer (not his murderer, he hoped).

He sat down on a desk in the back, but he could overlook everything and he was close to an emergency exit - just in case. By now it was 2:57 and John was getting nervous. Would his admirer actually have the guts to show up?

The time passed and at 3:04 he slowly started doubting his decision to come here. He wasn't sure what - or better, who - he was expecting even.

'My lips on your lips, no inbetween,' an inner voice whispered.

Just in that moment the door opened and the chimes above it jingled. A shadow stood in the frame... and then it moved towards him, with a confidence, John admired.

When the shadow turned into a human with a face... John gasped...

"Sher- Sherlock?"

"Hello, John," the tall boy stood in front of the small table, where John had sat down.

"I don't- are you... did you put all the flowers into my locker?" John suddenly felt extremely nervous upon seeing Sherlock Holmes. He knew him from chemistry class, they did a few experiments together and had a great time. John had loved how the serious boy's face lit up when he tried out something new and it worked.

Sherlock twisted his face as if in pain. "It was Irene's idea. She was sick of me whining at her about how I wanted... want to know you better."

That made John relax, he asked, "Want to know me better as in," a huge grin spread on his face, "'my lips on your lips, roses are red, tulips are green, no inbetween' way or a... platonic way?"

Sherlock - still standing - just stared at him. He looked slightly in shock. "I never wrote that."

"Eh, close enough," John leaned back, waving dismissively with his hand.

"You clearly have no idea about poetry, John."

"Well you better be glad, otherwise I wouldn't be here on this date with you," John smirked.

The stiff expression on Sherlock's face melted and turned into a smile. He plummeted onto the chair opposite of John and sighed, "Alright, fair enough." Then he blushed. "Date," he pointed out.

John laughed. "You wooed me with flowers and poems, what did you expect?"

Sherlock smiled, his cheeks turning even redder when he laid a hand over John's. "I wasn't sure it was gonna work. Thanks for coming."

John felt his hand starting to sweat underneath Sherlock's, so he pulled it out and slapped his thighs. "I'm gonna grab a coffee. Can I get my date something?"

"Oh, uh... coffee. Black, two sugars."

John got up. But when he walked by Sherlock, he leaned down and whispered in his ear, "I am so happy my secret admirer is you."

Then, he headed to the counter to order.

[frugalkubal]

I have a HC that Giyuu is like dandere/kuudere but then he kinda awakened his inner yandere when he and Sabito started dating. Like, he's either stoic or shy in front if Sabito; but he's like overly protective of him behind his back; mostly bc of how he nearly lost him during their Final Selection. Everyone knows this side of Giyuu except for Sabito — who only sees Giyuu's gentle smiles but never his sharp glares whenever anyone acts/talks negatively in the slightest against Sabito. Giyuu would like to keep it that way, too.

Sanemi (whom I HC as Sabito's second favourite spar buddy, next to his bf) tried to secretly tell Sabito about it; but before he could, Giyuu suddenly popped out of nowhere and offered him ohagi with a smile... and a malicious glint on his eyes. Sanemi wanted to refuse for fear of food poisoning, but refusing sweet Giyuu's friendly gift would probably upset Sabito; and he didn't want the consequences associated with that, tyvm. XD

This is just one of my random OTP thoughts that I wanted to draw into some short comics or whatever, but either too busy or too lazy to do so. Thus, here I am just babbling about it. 🗣️ Tho I do hope I could find the time and energy to at least sketch some silly Sabigiyuu and Masasane interactions. I've been wanting to do that for ages, but life and ADHD always gets in the way. lol

[erika111111]

Okay, storytime...

I watched the Fallout TV show back when it came out. And I... had very mixed feelings about a lot of things. I've never played the games, mind you, so I went in basically blind. My main takeaway was one of my new favorite OTPs, Lucy x Maximus (VaultKnight). And I think I'm in the minority here, as most people ship Lucy with Cooper or just straight-up hate VaultKnight, but Lucy and Maximus really did something to my heart.

When Lucy smiles up at the brave knight soaring through the air, thinking he defeated the enemy, when in reality he just got thrown across the sky in defeat, I thought it was so cute and funny and immediately started "shipping" them. I just thought each of the main characters would have their own path and rarely ever interact with each other, so expecting Lucy and Maximus to actually have a romance was just a silly thought in the back of my head. But then it actually happened! (And this is far from the first time me shipping some random seemingly impossible ship actually came true; I guess I'm lucky in at least this regard.)

I do agree with the main criticism of the ship, that's it's totally rushed. It basically starts halfway through an already extremely short season. But something being rushed doesn't necessarily make it bad. The criticism that it's forced and they have no chemistry is total bull to me, though. They're literally so cute together and seem truly in love. And it makes sense, Lucy was quite literally raised to have a relationship right out of the gate.

Also, me being in an interracial relationship myself, I loveeee to see it portrayed in media. And I love that Lucy is a little perverted! Again, she was kind of raised up that way and she doesn't really view it as being "dirty" or anything, but to the viewers, it catches us off guard how casually she is about everything. And I loved that Maximus was more timid and uncomfortable with the topic at first. It's usually the other way around in media, so it's nice to see a shy guy and a flirty gal for a change.

I have mixed feelings about the show in general, but my favorite part was absolutely VaultKnight. I wanna come back for season two solely to see how their relationship progresses. I hope they wind up endgame, but I do have bad luck when it comes to the ships I'm passionate about always falling through in the end. But here's hoping. I love them!

Prongsfoot Week 2024

Day 6 - Last Year Participant:

Random Ship questions

Assorted OTP Questions

What is each member’s love language?

James buys gifts. Sirius listens and helps to solve problems.

What would they describe as their perfect date?

Just something that they usually do, hanging out together, but them being romantic would make it more exciting because they’d stop for a "quick" kiss that goes on for a bit behind a corner if they’re in public, or just end up snogging on the sofa if they’re at home (they were already roommates obviously).

Who made the first move?

James. But Sirius realised his feelings first.

Who is more sentimental?

James. He was allowed to freely express his feelings growing up so he has no problems being sentimental whenever he feels like it. Sirius keeps his feelings more to himself, but he has learned to relax more around James because he trusts him.

Which member calls the other in to kill the spiders?

Neither. They’re both capable of doing it on their own, but they’d first probably try to get rid of the spiders another way before resolting to killing them.

Who falls asleep first?

James. He’s physically so active he only needs to lie down and he’s snoring two minutes later. Sirius’s mind is so active it takes him awhile before he falls asleep.

Who wakes up first?

James. He slept like a baby.

Who is more more relaxed/carefree?

James when things are fine. Sirius when things are not fine. He's more used to unstable situations than James.

What’s one way their personalities compliment one another? (Is it opposites attract or are they pretty similar?)

(Well, this became an TED Talk listing many ways instead of one lol.) They are similar in the way that both grew up in wealthy pureblood families surrounded by magic, so they’re both privileged. They’re also extremely intelligent, witty, smart, arrogant (especially when younger) and have a knack for mischief. But they differ in emotional security. James always had his parents’ unconditional love, whereas Sirius grew up in a family where their love was conditional. If he did as was expected, only then was he worthy of love. Even then there was no real warmth to it. It was just a nod of approval or an impassive ”well done” at times. That was before he was sorted into Gryffindor, and then he stopped receiving any gestures of love or approval. That’s why he’s more reserved. Knowing James definitely taught Sirius to be a warmer person to those he loves than he would have been without James’s influence. Or at least it would have taken him a lot longer to learn to show affection. During the first few years at Hogwarts, Sirius also had to unlearn some things about the pureblood ideology and vocabulary that his parents instilled in him. James was a bit shocked at first but quickly recovered. He didn't judge Sirius but just told him what Euphemia and Fleamont taught him instead.

James learned through Sirius that not everything is, in fact, black and white. Even when it’s first instinct for James to think so, Sirius’s background made him see that you can be a good person even if your family’s values are shit and the opposite of everything you believe in. Sirius also doesn’t shy away from any ugly truths, and James has a darker side too. He can be cruel, crass, selfish and inconsiderate (edit: mostly when younger). Usually he masks this because he likes it when people admire him and he wins them over with his smile. He can easily charm his way through most obstacles in his early life. But Sirius sees through his bullshit, and James can let go of any pretenses. He can be moody and complain and talk shit about people he doesn’t like. James is very opinionated, and Sirius may or may not agree with him. He always offers his genuine opinion, and James appreciates it.

James saw a kindred spirit in Sirius as an 11-year-old and just accepted him as his person, unconditionally. Sirius, in turn, never stopped loving him either.

Who is always cold?

Sirius. James is happy to be his heated blanket.

Which member is always trying to bring home stray animals and which member always has to say no?

Sirius brings stray animals home, and James huffs and rolls his eyes and says, ”Sirius, we agreed, remember? No more strays. We don’t have the space or time to take care of all of them.”

Sirius looks at him from underneath his lashes and pets the kneazle in his arms that meows and nuzzles its nose against Sirius’s face, and James throws his hands up.

���Fine. But this is the last one. We already have two owls, four dogs, three cats and a hippogriff.”

Sirius smiles. ”I’ll make it up to you tonight.”

James blushes. ”Well, that’s... Yes, well all right, then. You’d better make it up. But don’t think you can use sex as a way to negotiate any future pets.”

Sirius keeps smiling. ”Of course not, love.”

Who worries more?

James. He’s a natural born worrier. Sirius makes elaborate plans so he’s not worried when he knows what's going to happen.

What are some non-sexual activities they do together?

They run in the forest together as Padfoot and Prongs. They take long walks and talk about magical theory, and life, and just about anything. They like to tinker together with magical objects and see if they can improve or invent something together. They’re just very innovative and love to put their brilliant minds together.

Who would be able to talk their way out of a speeding ticket?

Both. James would be all charming and bat his long lashes and be forgiven. Sirius would use his words and logic and talk his way out of it. Also his good looks does half the job for him, even though it’s not very important to him.

Who is the better cook?

Initially James but only barely. He did learn some basic recipes from his mum, but he grew up at a time when it was mostly up to women or house-elves to prepare meals. It wasn’t an important skill until he and Sirius moved together after Hogwarts. Suddenly they had to learn how to cook when they wanted to eat something more than beans on toast or jacket potatoes, though they do also eat at their local pubs a lot. Sirius eventually buys a cookbook and gets the hang of cooking and comes to enjoy it. James finds it hot. Especially when Sirius wears nothing but an apron.

What are some things they don’t agree on?

Small things like who changes the sheets, who does the dishes etc. Even though they are easily done with magic...it’s still a matter of principle.

Which member is more physically affectionate?

James when they’re in public. Sirius when they’re at home.

Which member is more verbally affectionate?

James explicitly ("I love you so much! You're the love of my life, you know that, right? I want to renew our vows every year!"), Sirius implicitly ("Ok, sure. I made you a ring. I'll make you one every year if you like.")

How does each member feel about PDA?

James is more comfortable with it than Sirius.

Who’s the safer driver?

I think they’re equally daredevils.

What’s each member flirting style?

James likes to come up with a lot of innuendos and wiggles his eyebrows suggestively. Sirius rolls his eyes at him but can’t help smiling. He only needs to whisper something incredibly detailed and dirty to James once, which shuts him up immediately. They’ll need to find a private space soon after that.

Which member steals borrows the other ones clothing?

Both. They love stealing each other’s clothes. James knows that Sirius becomes feral when he wears Sirius’s black tank top that is a little too tight for James. And Sirius knows the best way to James’s (under)pants is to wear them so James will need to remove them from him.

Who is the cuddle initiator?

James!

Are they an introverted couple or an extroverted one—AKA would they prefer to go out to a party or event together or would they rather stay in?

I think they like to go out more when they’re younger and stay more home in their 30s and later.

Who is the big/little spoon?

They like to switch.

Who is more likely to make an impulsive decision and who is the voice of reason?

James makes more impulsive decisions in everyday situations and Sirius is the voice of reason. But when Sirius is upset about something, he’s more likely to act impulsively, and that’s when James will have to be the sensible one.

Who’s more likely to laugh at their own jokes?

James.

Who takes longer showers?

Sirius.

Who is “more loved” by the in-laws?

Sirius, for obvious reasons.

Who is more likely to get jealous?

Sirius, but he doesn’t show it.

What was the most surprising thing they learned about one another once they started dating?

They already know each other really well, so anything surprising would probably be some intimate things, like what brings pleasure to the other. James loves it when Sirius pins him down to bed and talks dirty to him. Sirius can’t get enough of James’s mouth on him. And James likes to put it to good use. 😏

Who stays up way too late and who tries to drag them to bed?

Sirius stays up way too late if he gets really interested in a topic and can’t stop reading about it and thinking about it. James will drag him to bed and lie on top of him to distract him. And other things.

Who’s messier?

James, probably.

Which member is more likely to accidentally spend $300 at Target?

James.

Who wanted/would want kids first?

James.

Who gives piggy back rides to the other?

You know what, I’ll say Sirius. James likes to ride his pony -- dog...uh...Sirius.

Who fell in love first?

Sirius.

Imagine Your OTP

Person B: “What’s the matter, dear? Why are you blushing so much, there’s nothing to be shy about.” (They say as their smile grows fonder.)

Person A: (lifts their face up to be more visible from where they were hiding it and answers) “Well, when the most prettiest person who happens to show they care about me and is kind to me, giving me praise and complements for simplest things, it’s kind of hard not to become flustered!” 

[fareehaandspaniards]

Laurence for the character ask game :>

The Ask meme

Favourite thing about them:

The concept of “the road to hell is paved with good signs” folded into one man. Laurence did so much for the Church and for the people, and still ended up in a personalized little hell without the possibility of even finding his true self

Least favorite thing about them:

stupid lava floor during the boss fight

and his fanon image

Favorite line:

"SKREEEEEEEEEEEE" <3

(I don't want to use his cut content or 1.5 of senteces from the game)

brOTP

Laurence x Gehrman probably

Not really BROtp, but I like to imagine that Gehrman has become a second father to him. Although Laurence had enough influence to keep any kind of company, he preferred to spend his time with the old hunter, asking him for advice and complaining about personal problems. In spite of his cunning and dodgy nature, Laurence was like a child with Gehrman - shy and sweet.

(Also he in childhood was a good friend of Ludwig's wife and Adeline. Him and Adeline is something)

OTP

Laurence x Rom as it was! Two scientists with big ambitions. Only he would like to “live happily ever after”, and she would like to continue her experiments in secret and ascend to higher matter.

Also Laurence x Caryll x Rom is so fucking nice. Caryll is just trapped between two horny demons.

nOTP

Doesn't exist probably. All the pairings with him are good, however, for me the only only beloved one is listed above and all the others are just good

Random headcanon

You won't meet a more stylish and fashionable person in Yharnam than Laurence. His collar is always starched, his brooch sparkles off his jacket, his clothes are ironed and washed, and his hair is combed, but not too much so that it looks more lush. And it's not even about his position or money. Probably even if he was a beggar from the street, he'd still make sure to keep up appearances at all costs. So he feels more confident, more pleasant in his own body, and he can throw his leg over his leg during the dialog, because he knows that he looks stunning. Also, when you talk to him, you can be collected and ready for everything, but still find that you unexpectedly agreed to something uncomfortable for yourself or signed without reading the contract to the end. He has mastered the art of words and can probably talk anyone down, charming you with his sly and attentive gaze at the same time.

This trait is hated with all his heart by Micolash and also disliked by Rom, but only she finds her little kink in it. Ludwig, too, can't stand long conversations with his vicar, nor his sweet, softly flowing voice, and Laurence loves to annoy him. Logarius does not understand all these tricks, and Gehrman only smiles affectionately, for he knows there is a good man hidden underneath it all.

And Caryll promises to carry a shotgun (he doesn't know how to wield a gun) with him so that Laurence won’t even try to start a conversation, but it sounds so unconvincing that Laurence uses this to annoy him once again.

Unpopular opinion

I don't want to get into a fandom debate because of the generally accepted interpretation, I can say a lot of unpleasant and subjective things :/

So about the game: his battle is not a reuse of a Cleric beast - it is individual and difficult circumstances suit the vicar the best. I hate this lava floor myself. But that's the point.

It's just that gamerbros are used to throwing shit at everything in soulslikes, and it really tires me to go into the russian fandom, just to read that the game is shit, Miyazaki is a sucker, everything is overused, complete repetition. Don't play :P Leave my games alone. I love the repetitions that occur in Miyazaki's games. You just can't read :P

Song I associate with them:

Maniac by Carpenter Brut feat. Yann Ligner (but it's more about Rom from Laurence's view so I add another one)

Puttin' on the Ritz by Taco (perfect for a headcanon phphp)

Заходи скорее by Oxxxymiron (a banger)

Favorite picture:

Probably the first ever AxleCash post

EEnE fandom, I have a confession to make... I have a new OTP. What is it, you ask?

...yup. Eddy and Marie. Want proof? Sure.

1: Why would Marie try to flirt with Eddy on her own? Because we've seen all the Kankers "flirt" with all three Eds, but only when they were all together. This was JUST Marie with Eddy.

2: Uh... this. Yeah, I know earlier on in the episode she had stolen things from Double D's room and calls them "souvenirs". But with Eddy's undies, she actually takes some time to "admire" them. In a teasy way of course.

3: The trash can at the "wedding". Look at the paint she used. The perfect shade of pink to match Eddy's skin tone. Perhaps she's hyper-fixated on how Eddy views himself as a ruff tuff buff guy. I mean, if she REALLY liked Double D like that, wouldn't she want his "suit" to be something to match his personality? Like a doctor or a scientist? For example, we've seen May wear clothing related to the ocean, and the outfit painted on Ed's trash can was a sailor suit. That's proof that May really does have a crush on Ed. We've even seen May blush at Ed before in A Twist Of Ed. But, have we ever seen Marie blush at Double D? No. (oh and uh, I guess Lee does have a thing for Eddy too, but in a sick creepy way, not real love, which is why she doesn't blush)

4: This one isn't really ship proof. I just wanted to point out that Eddy knows that Marie likes car axles. So he's not completely blind to her interests.

5: I know at first glance, you can tell she was only dancing with Eddy to make Double D want to dance with her. But later on... we can see her and Eddy not even near Double D and Nazz. And she was smiling. She could've just given up, or start a real fight with Nazz, or something... but no. She kept dancing with Eddy. And she was enjoying it. :3 And finally, 6:

...do I even need to say anything? And once again, more proof that May really does love Ed. She wanted to wear, and WAS wearing his clothes in Out With The Old, In With The Ed. Did we ever see Marie wear Double D's clothes? No. And yeah, this might not be an exact copy of Eddy's shirt. Maybe this could be an old shirt Eddy threw out because it had a rip, and Marie found it and patched it up? Or perhaps she could've made this replica herself? I mean, I have pointed out before that she's into arts and crafts, so it's possible.

My theory: Marie really has a crush on Eddy, but knows that Lee will practically destroy her if they ever got together, so she goes after Double D just to mess with him. And Marie does blush, but not at Double D. She has little daydreams about Eddy, and THAT'S when she becomes all flustered. And as for all the pet names she calls Double D, like "Dreamboat" and "Oven Mitt", and the other ways that she teases him... that's because with a REAL crush, Marie is actually very shy about it. But she's a Kanker. She's suppose to be a "tough girl". So, by making herself believe that she finds romantic interest in Double D, when she truthfully doesn't, she'll be able to be "romantic" with Double D easily, without getting that shy, blushy feeling. Marie keeps telling herself, trying to trick her brain, over and over again, that Double D is her "hubby". She's taught herself to become possessive and jealous whenever any other girl goes near the beanie wearing boy. But from time to time... deep in her heart... she knows... she finds joy in thinking about a certain short, yappy, money seeking leader of the Ed trio. so much for her being a lesbian, oh well also yes their name is AxleCash. I came up with it. haha.

Okay, since you're an Omi girlie, I'm going to ask for 19, 24 and 35 for the 50 OTP Things for Ominis and Vivian! <3

Hi, Becki! How are you? I hope you are doing well!🫂❤️ Thank you for asking about my favorite couple. I’ve been having major writers block and I’ve been dealing with a lot of family issues and loss in my life. It’s been chaotic and honestly, heartbreaking. Answering these questions has really been helping me and inspiring me. It makes me want to write.😍 Thank you for submitting them!🥹🥰

19. Who loves to call the other one cute names?

Vivian definitely does it more than Ominis.🤭 She has so many for him. Love, Darling, Prince, Mon Amour, Chéri, the list goes on. She knows he loves to sleep and take naps whenever he can and she is the only person who can properly wake him up. (That he allows to wake him up.😂) She will whisper all these cute names to him and stroke his hair or back until he wakes up with a smile.

Ominis has a few for his curvy queen.❤️ Darling, My Love, Princess, his Little Serpent. (When she’s in her Animagus form.) He will playfully tease her about her height but secretly, she loves it, especially when he kisses the top of her head. Although she is much shorter than him, she is not a pushover and that is something that Ominis adores about her.

24. Who is the talker/ Who is the listener?

Vivian tends to talk and Ominis is a very good listener. Vivian isn’t really shy and she’s confident with who she is. She’s a French girl with a passion for fashion and loves talking about all her designs with Ominis. He is also her business partner and she will not sell a design without his approval. They make a dynamic and powerful team in the fashion industry. Ominis will also listen when she goes through one of her rants in French and does his best to calm her down.

Vivian listens to Ominis as well. He’s able to be himself with her and she’s always telling him how he can talk to her about anything. She doesn’t judge him or make him feel worse about himself. People are often surprised to discover that Ominis actually has a silly and humorous side. Vivian encourages him to just let go and enjoy life, especially after everything he has been through. He loves to cuddle and play with her cat Willow. Ominis and Vivian bring out the best in one another and even a few students envy their relationship.

35. Who goes overboard on the holidays?

Hands down, it’s Vivian. lol. She will design matching costumes for them, plan to go to a couples baking class for Christmas, have Ominis spend the holiday with her grandmother in a cozy cabin, buy lots of candy for Halloween and feed it to him. Ominis may not enjoy the costumes or large crowds but he loves how happy it makes Vivian and if she’s happy then he is happy. She will reward him for being a good sport as well with lots of steamy sex.🤭 He’s been a good boy in her eyes, he deserves it.😁

I had so much fun answering these! I thank you once again for submitting them, Becki.🥰❤️

Hello! 😊

Can I request a long fluffy oneshot/songfic with prompts: "Anything happening yet?" from Eda, "Nope! It looks like they're both too shy to try anything." from Luz, "Don't worry! I'll take care of this shyness by erupting their courageous hrough SONG!" from Hooty, "What? Wait no please!" from King, "I think I should take over the singing on this." from Luz, "Um, Y/n? Do you hear singing?" from Hunter, "Hm…Looks like I'm going to need your some help on this one, Gus and Eda!" from Luz, [Hunter wasn't exactly sure what he was supposed to do. Some of the fireflies that surrounded the boat suddenly flew around Y/n showing off some of her angelic facial features causing a red blush to cross his face.] & [they starting with a kiss meant to be gentle, ending up in passion] about Hunter (TOH) and his shy!fem!human!reader are going to the blue lagoon for romantic rowboat? Like Luz, Gus, Willow, Amity, King, Hooty and Eda secretly followed to spy on Hunter and his shy!female!human!reader's first date? 😂 Like Luz and her friends has matchmaking plan about they sets a romantic mood in order to inspire Hunter to kiss his shy!female!human!reader? 🤭 Hint#1: This song is "Kiss The Girl" from The Little Mermaid Disney film. This blue lagoon scene from The Little Mermaid Disney film. Hint#2: Hooty is so terrible singer like Scuttle. 🤣 Luz uses her mobile phone for setup a Kiss the Girl song for them. Gus and Eda uses their illusion spells to create the singing frogs and fireflies like The Little Mermaid Disney film. I love to see Hunter's blushing reaction to it! 😆 I live for flustered Hunter! 💘 Please??

Thank you for your suggestion! Here it is~

TW: passionate kissing

Contains: Hooty singing, kisses, awkward tension, fluff

The night sky twinkled with stars and lights, highlighting the lake in silver. King stuffs his face in popcorn as Luz asks Eda, “Has anything happened yet?”

The woman removes the binoculars, “Nope. Looks like they’re too scared to try anything.”

“I’m surprised Y/N’s going out with the golden guard,” Willow says as Gus places down a card in the pile, “She always seemed too timid. And the golden guard��.is certainly her complete opposite.”

“Yeah,” Gus agrees. He pulls out a chart with a wave of his hand, “I’ve made a board listing their differences and similarities.”

Y/N                                 Hunter

-kind                               -mean

-sweet                            -grumpy

-nice                               -HE'S PART OF THE EMPEROR’S COVEN

“...needless to say, this was a shock to all of us.” 

“Well, I’ve seen how Blondie looks at our old Y/N. Not a malicious thought about her in those eyes,” Eda sighs, “They’re head over heels for each other. Actually, I’m more surprised it took them this long to start dating.”

“Well, I think they’re a great couple!” Hooty hollers, causing King and Luz to shush him. He adds, with making no effort to quiet his voice at all, “They’re my OTP! Number one Hunty/n shipper right here!”

When Hunter turns his head, everyone ducks. 

Y/N AND HUNTER’S POV

“Did you hear anything, Hunter?” Asks Y/N curiously. Hunter thinks for a second, scanning the greenery, 

“...no. Must have been my imagination.” he shrugs it off. Turning to Y/N, he feels his cheeks redden. The lights of the fireflies lighten her already angelic features, (h/c) hair waving in the breeze. 

“Oh, okay.” she replies. 

It’s silent, only the sounds of the sloshing waves underneath the boat covering the quiet. Hunter gulps, glancing back at Y/N, purple-red pupils dilating a little. 

‘She’s so pretty’, he thinks with a sigh. ‘How could I be so lucky?’

Hunter never thought he would date the human apprentice of the Owl Lady. Sixteen years old, glimmering eyes that he could get lost in for hours. And him, the golden guard, eyebags and tooth gap and all. How could such a perfect person want to date his scumbag self?

“It’s, u-um, really pretty out here.” he stumbles on his words. 

“It really is.” She smiles at the scenery. Y/N looks back to him, just to see he was already staring at her. Red flushes her cheeks, blinking. 

“H-Hunter, you’re s-staring.”

“Oh!” he’s out of his trance, scooting farther in his seat until his back touches the wooden boat, “I didn’t k-know…”

He wanted to kiss her so bad. 

HEXSQUAD’S POV

“They really are intent on dragging this out, aren’t they?” Eda sighs, shaking her head. 

“Give them time,” Luz encourages, “Maybe by the end of the night, they’ll hug! Or even kiss!”

“We don’t have all night to wait for that!” King says before thinking, “Well, we do, but I’m too impatient for that!”

Hooty watches everyone’s frowns and clears his throat. 

“Don't worry! I'll take care of this shyness and give them their courage through SONG!"

“WHAT.” Willow. 

“Wait, no, please—” King. 

“That might be interesting, actually,” Gus. 

“Well, I’ve never heard Owlboy sing.” Eda.

“Hey, Hooty, maybe we shouldn’t rush them—” Luz.

“Never fear! Your uncle Hooty’s here!” Hooty trills, before turning to Eda and Gus, “Goops, Owl Lady! Get those illusion magic rolling!”

“Why am I agreeing to this,” Gus groans, drawing a blue spell circle in the air. 

“Well, Goops, are you ready to perform a show of a lifetime?” Eda winks. Gus nods. 

“Let’s do it, Eda!”

Y/N AND HUNTER’S POV

It was awkwardly quiet again. Hunter clears his throat, “So, um, Y/N, I—”

Then, a smooth and savvy voice sings, 

“There, you see her. Sitting there across the way. She don’t got a lot to say but there’s something about her~”

Y/N catches Hooty’s grin before he retracts into the ocean. She begins to hear music, quiet and soft. When Hunter glances to Hooty’s direction, Hooty splashes back to sing in his ear, 

“And you don’t know why but you’re dying to try you wanna, kiss the girl!”

“D-did you hear something?” Hunter asks, turning over to Y/N. She only shrugs, giving him a sheepish smile. 

Ducks begin to emerge from the water, acting like instrumentals as Hooty sings, 

“Yes, you want her. Look at you you know it’s true!”

Hunter reddens, “Is it just me or is someone singing..”

“Possible she wants you too, there’s one way to ask her!”

“I-I…” Y/N’s face also erupts in pink.

“It don’t take a word, not a single word, go on and kiss the girl!”

Y/N leans closely, and Hunter does, and she can feel his breath on her lips until–

He leans back, rowing them again as he avoids her eyes, still red in the face. 

When he brings an oar up, frogs rest on the head, 

“Sha-la-la-la! My, oh my, look at the boy too shy he ain’t gonna kiss the girl!”

“Sha-la-la-la-la! Ain’t that sad, ain’t that a shame, too bad, he gonna miss the girl~”

“You know, I feel kinda horrible. My coven’s going after your friend, the Owl Lady?” he tries to strike up a conversation. “I wish I could just tell them to stop.”

“Oh, Hunter, it’s not your fault that they hate wild magic,” she gently places a hand onto his, and when he feels her featherlight touch he jolts, but he doesn’t pull away, only squeezing it tighter. Y/N’s face brightens, pink settling in her cheeks. 

“Now’s your moment,” Hooty sings as they float into a crystal cave, “Floating in a blue lagoon. Boy you better do it soon, no time will be better..”

“Can I just say how p-oretty you look, in that dress?” he stutters. Her eyes widen, 

“W-well, thank you, Hunter…I really like that t-tie on you, you know..”

“I picked it in your favorite color,” he replies softly. 

A ring of fireflies suddenly appear, flying in a circle around the boat. Slowly, the boat swims to a stop. 

“H-Hunter, I..”

“C-Can I kiss you, Y/N?” he asks abruptly, then reddens as he realizes how quick he had said it. “O-only if you want to, of course.”

“Sha-la-la-la don’t be scared, you’ve got the mood prepared!”

The song softens as Y/N takes his hand, gently resting it on her face, 

“I would l-love to kiss you, Hunter.”

And they move closer, breaths hitching as they both glance at each other’s lips. Then they lock lips, both sighing against their skin. It was gentle, soft, quiet. 

Until it wasn’t. Y/N feels her face heat up as he kisses harder, full of passion. She reciprocates, smelling his breath of mint and lavender.

They both fall over, with Y/N on top of Hunter and him under her, still kissing intensely. 

“Sha-la-la-la, float along! And listen to the song! The song says, kiss the girl.”

They break apart, out of breath. Hunter’s ears are red as he blushes, until Y/N giggles quietly. He chuckles, then the two laugh, giddy and excited at their newfound love. 

“We should, uh, do this more often.” Hunter. 

“You think?” Y/N. 

“I do.” Hunter.

She smiles before giving him another kiss, 

“I’d love to.”

HEXSQUAD’S POV

Cheers erupt as everyone high-fives, 

“We did it! We actually did it!” Willow whoops. Gus grins, “Remind me to listen to Hooty’s suggestions more next time.”

“Good job, Hoots!” Eda smiles as Hooty appears, rubbing his head affectionately, “I doubted you, not going to lie, but you did it in the end!”

“I’m such a good singer, aren’t I!” Hooty says happily. 

Then—

“Y/N! I FOUND THEM! THEY WERE SPYING ON US!”

[suugrbunz]

prompt idea to practice your writing otp (ocs or fandom) — it'd be so cool since a lot of us write BoB fandom related content. So it can be interrupted as a modern au or !! Write your couples when they have grown old together 🩷

so there's this account on Instagram, tiktok, and I think YouTube(?) called meetcutesnyc. Basically, the individual approaches people that he assumes are couples and asks;

“Excuse me, sorry, are you two a couple?”

If they reply yes, then the man behind the camera will ask;

“Would you mind telling us the story how you two met?”

Again, insert their answer— are they shy about it? Constantly touching each other? Smiling? Giggly? Or staring in awe of the other who is talking. Sometimes people share a lot, sometimes one shares a lot and the other allows them to. Or perhaps, both people are introverted so they give quick and simple answers.

“When was that?”

[insert answer here]

“What was your first impression of each other?”

[insert answer here :)]

“How many years have you been married/together” (adjust the question if they're dating 🫶🏻)

[insert answer here!!]

Other questions I've heard them ask but isn't necessarily present in every video includes;

“[#] years in, what's your favourite thing about him/her/them?”

“Favourite song to listen to together?”

“What was your first date?” (followed by) “When was that?”
