Can You Do Headcanon Yandere De N, Damian (Pokémon), Atsushi Nakajima, Odasaku And Marrow (RWBY) With A Motherly And Caring Personality Darling?, Thank You And Forgive My Bad English

A good chunk of these men are touch starved so this was fun to write 。^‿^｡ Also, no need to apologize! Your English is fine!

When it came to searching up Damian, this is who showed up so I hope I got the character right! Edit: My dumbass found out that Arven's name is Damian in the Spanish version of the game (plus he kept showing up when I searched up Damian). I hope I got this right so please let me know if I didn't!

✧Motherly Darling✧

✧Currently Playing✧: Lock Me Up by The Cab

Characters: N Harmonia (Pokemon), Arven (Pokemon), Nakajima Atsushi (BSD), Sakunosuke Oda (BSD), Marrow Amin (RWBY)

cw: fem!/gn!darling (implied, no pronouns)

Warning(s): Obsessive Behavior, Overprotective Behavior, Slight Paranoia and Stalking

✧N Harmonia✧

Instantly attached the moment you show genuine care for him. N had already heard from your Pokemon that you were a magnificent person. They would only speak praises upon praises about how you love them as much as family would. It warms his heart to hear such things. So when he interacts with you, learning that your kindness extends to people and not just Pokemon, he immediately wants to keep you around.

The man has never experienced true care outside of his caretakers (Anthea and Concordia) so he is incredibly touch starved. His lack of experience with actual human beings has distorted his views of humanity and the norm (especially with what Ghetsis has taught him), making him socially stunted. N, however, doesn't feel out of place when he's with you. He truly feels like an actual person and not a freak because of your patience and attentive nature. You were able to pinpoint his struggles and aid him when necessary, never chiding him for the habits he has (speaking quickly, his hyperfixations, the ability to speak with Pokemon, etc.). It was an issue he was facing with after Team Plasma dissolved, but now he feels a sense of security because of you.

That's why N isn't really fond of being away from you for too long. He's grown dependent on your motherly nature and refuses to let go anytime soon. As I mentioned before in his general yandere headcanons post, it's hard to say no to this man when he looks like a kicked Lillipup. You feel extremely guilty when you try to refuse his offers to hang out. He doesn't have anyone else and he finds comfort in you...maybe your friends can wait. N needs you right now.

✧Arven✧

This is the same case with Arven, but he's not willing to admit it just yet. Unlike N, he is not ready to be fully vulnerable due to the grievances he's faced as a child. As we all know, his mother/father wasn't around often and he became independent at a very young age. He is the type of yandere who will keep his feelings to himself as he admires you from afar. Your immense amount of love and affection was so...unfamiliar to him. Foreign. He didn't know how to deal with it at first.

Though one thing is obvious to him is that he can't get enough of it. You're always reminding him to take care of himself and helping out when you can. It was odd since he's used to doing everything on his own. It...it feels good to rely on someone else for once. Was he...missing out on this for all his life? Arven reflects on things before he becomes attached to you. It's somewhat subtle but at the same time obvious. He's always by your side and doesn't go out of his way to befriend others (not like he was trying to do that in the first place).

Arven is so protective over you. It may seem endearing at first, how he stands by your side whenever you're speaking to your own friends. He's like your guard dog or something like that. Holding your hand as he squeezes it gently (you've made it a habit to hold his hand and he certainly didn't object after a few times of it happened) as he glowers at your friends. You insist to yourself that it's just his usual expression, but it really isn't the case in this scenario. He can't fathom why you even need these people when he could obviously provide you with so much. His insecurities eat at him slowly everyday. Aren't you satisfied with having him around? You don't need them...

✧Atsushi Nakajima✧

From the moment you showed your unconditional affections and compassion, Atsushi couldn't believe you actually existed. Not only are you such a warmhearted person, but you don't even expect anything in return. His heart strings are pulled with every kind action and word you take/speak. Coming from a place of hardship and pain, Atsushi had to take some time to process the way you were. It was something he clearly wasn't used to but...he couldn't help but be drawn to it. It's odd to admit it but maybe, deep down, he craves this sort of treatment. Something you just can't get enough of once you have a taste.

Then there comes the fear. You're so precious and ever so kind. It's the perfect set of traits that horrible people like to ruin. The world is just like that; where awful human beings like to destroy the beauty of it all. You're no exception and Atsushi would be damned if he allowed you to meet the same fate. He becomes protective, and why wouldn't he? You're living in a city where danger seems to lurk in every corner. You...understand why he insists to walk you home, right? Not only to make sure you're safe, but also for peace of mind. Though, sometimes he finds himself searching (and following) around for you in secret whenever his paranoia strikes him.

Atsushi can't help it. He simply cannot lose you, a person who has shown his genuine care when no one else did. You are literally the light of his life. The very person who keeps him going. He'd do anything to ensure you are never in any danger. The thought of you dying out there frightens him to tears. Always holding your hand when when it's just the two of you, just to make sure you're still with him. He feels like it's his obligation to do all this. Otherwise...what good is he to you? There might be better people in the world for you but...but he wants you!

✧Oda Sakunosuke ✧

Congratulations, darling! You just earned yourself a protector who will stick by your side no matter what. Oda immediately could see how much you hold your heart on your sleeve (unless there's more to it as he observes you). He admires your personality and has no doubt that you're a light that shines brighter than most. You have his deep respects. The tenderness in your eyes and voice when you aid others is very evident. You're definitely too good for this world. He wonders if you ever have struggles of your own. Oda doesn't mind your care or concern for him, but do expect him to return the favor, no matter how much you protest against it. The two of you are both an adorable sight, honestly.

Still, as a yandere, Oda can be a bit protective but he isn't going overboard in his actions. He does work for the Port Mafia, so he does make sure you're under some form of protection in case of anything. I will say that he is the least yandere to concern yourself over due to many variables that keep it that way. His ability is incredibly useful if anything were to go wrong. However, even then, it doesn't get to that point unless someone really wants to seriously hit him where it hurts. Also, Oda doesn't get jealous often. He has faith in you, your kind hearted self, but he worries about how others can take advantage of your kindness. Oh, and he's honest about that. He sits down to talk to you about it and knows you'll listen, taking his words to consideration. What a lovely man he is.

Oda definitely introduces you to the orphans he's taken in. He knows you'll love them and in turn they'll love you as well. He believes they really do need someone with a motherly presence, given how they don't have that anymore. If he wasn't already obsessed with you before, watching you play with the kids certainly made him want you even more. You've been a lingering thought, a dream to be added to the one he already has. More than ever, Oda wants to be a novelist who writes with a view of the ocean...and you by his side with kids of your own (if you'd want that). His drive to leave the Port Mafia is stronger as he makes sure nothing from that organization reaches your senses. Don't worry...You two will have the life you always wanted.

✧Marrow Amin✧

Marrow is an open book when it comes to how he feels about you (for obvious reasons). However, he won't admit that outright. He has a reputation after all and he can't get mushy on the job. This is what he insists as he quickly grabs his tail to stop its wagging. A dead giveaway of course. Even if Marrow is an open book, that's only half of what's going on. He deeply appreciates your kindness and it's evidently in the way he looks at you when he believes no one is around. Unlike some of the other yanderes in this post, he doesn't have much insecurities. Sure, with his background as a faunus and the potential discrimination he had faced, it could brew about self esteem issues. However, Marrow does not dwell on all that, especially since he's made it this far in life. Even so, he really enjoys the way you treat him.

The man doesn't even have to ask for anything as you go out of your way to assist him. It's cute to him, but he presents his response as a smooth, "Oh, I had that covered" just to dismiss how much he appreciated the help. It's not like Marrow is undermining your actions...and he really does feel bad when he's alone with his thoughts. Especially when you're offering your help to others instead. A sense of guilt washes over him, but also jealousy. He honestly can't stand watching you give so much attention to the newcomers who General Ironwood made official huntsman and huntresses. Like, sure, they're young and impressionable (and he likes them too!) but aren't you supposed to be aid him? I mean, he's the rookie and all (something he doesn't say out loud a lot...). Marrow can't help but watch you longingly from afar.

He's come to be accustomed to your attitude, praise, and warmhearted behavior so it was a matter of time before Marrow became completely attached. He is now sticking by your side more, giving you puppy eyes for his morning coffee, insisting you check him for injuries despite the fact that he only got hit once while fighting some Grimm and much more. Heck, he even hopes you're watching him when training or fighting off Grimm so he can hear from you how amazing he is. It just feels special coming from you...There are times where you feel like all you see in your day is Marrow. It was if your schedule only revolved around being assigned to assist him. You don't question it too much, especially since Marrow was still new to the Ace Ops. He needed guidance and all the help he could get. Is that really true though?

Hi hello

Take this as a free card to talk ab litterly any fic you'd like

Maybe the Alex/Jay vampire thing? Idk if you're making a Fic outta it but I'm still fixated on thst lol

HONESTLY FAIR I have so many vamp!Alex thoughts

Jay is of course his favorite! He ends up feeding on most of the cast at some point but Jay is the one he focuses on. He also isn't nearly as gentle/caring about it with the others.

Jay is very into it.

I don't think I've talked about this with you but I have a very particular view of these two? In my head they're childhood friends and have been incredibly codependent for many years. Like, told each other they would marry the other when they were old enough and Took It Seriously. All of Alex's middle school/highschool girlfriends hated Jay because Alex payed so much more attention to him and would neglect their relationship just to hang out with Jay and stuff. It's obvious very early on to anyone who dated Alex during this period of time that he and Jay are in love. Alex is straight up having an emotional affair with Jay and neither of them notice it because this is just how they've always been, they're a package deal, they mean more to each other than anyone else and who cares if they're unhealthily entrenched in each other's lives, anyone who tries to get with one of them should already know that the other comes first so in their opinions Alex's girlfriends are all in the wrong. They should have known Alex would prioritize Jay, it's what he's always done.

They're also incredibly weird4weird. Like. Carrying anime body pillows to school, doing blood pacts, fighting anyone who tries to get close to the other, kind of thing. They were two outcasts who found kinship in each other and took it to the natural weird kid extreme. They're both fascinated with the paranormal and ostensibly run some kind of club about various monsters and cryptids, but anyone who tries to join gets put through a hazing ritual that scares almost everyone off. (The only person to get through it is Brian, who joins in his second year (Jay's last year) and is the only reason that come college, they're at all functional socially. He's basically their filter who makes sure they can function enough to not completely isolate themselves.)

All this to say, Jay figures out Alex is a vampire and is so fucking into it. Like yeah sure he's fucking terrified of getting bit, but he's not going to pass up the chance to be the one to feed a vampire! And anyway, it's Alex, his best friend, and Alex is starving and he can't just let him suffer. He's also definitely a bit of a masochist and knows this about himself so getting bit by Alex is like heaven for him.

Alex feels really guilty about it at first, which is like 90% of the reason Jay starts babying him through it the first time (the other 10% is The Caretaker Thing, which is something I headcanon Jay has, he just seems like the type of person who needs to take care of someone. He needs someone to depend on him so he can help them because otherwise he feels like he has no purpose). Alex is kind of surprised by how into it he is, like, he didn't expect to enjoy having Jay coo at him like he's something simple that doesn't know any better and should be treated gently because of that, but he does! He doesn't really know how to feel about it but as long as Jay keeps petting his hair and holding him so gently and murmuring to him about how he shouldn't be expected to control himself when feeding because it's just his instincts and no one can blame him for that, like how you wouldn't blame an animal for just doing what they know, he supposes he'll be alright.

... Yeah, Jay picked up on the purring and immediately started treating him like a pet. Like yeah Alex still has autonomy and whatever but when it comes to being a vampire and especially feeding time and stuff, he's Jay's little pet vamp. He's tame, but only for Jay.

Jay is just riding the high of Vampire Boyfriend Who Treats Him Like He's Special. Jay's out here living his "mc of a vampire romance novel" fantasies and he is thriving. Sure no one else knows Alex is a vampire, at least until college and even then only their other friends, but still. He's a special little boy who's irresistible to a big bad vampire and managed to tame said vampire because of it. He's living his best life.

I could probably keep going but I've temporarily run out of words so have this.

Oh also, @teddy-blegh because. Other jaylex moot.

ive wondered, n sorry if youve already answered before lol, but aren n kusuo seems to be your favorite paring to write n i was wondering why?

It is! And no one has. So now that you’ve uncapped this, I hope you’re ready for three pages of me talking about a whole lot and simultaneously nothing at all because I am going down to clown town.

Alright. Time for some headcanons.

Put simply, I think Kusuo Saiki is a little bitch who needs to be bullied into taking a damn break for once in his gotdang life and Aren Kuboyasu is the only one who’d have the balls enough to do it. Considering our pink haired protagonist’s upbringing of being bullied, that may sound weird, so put in long

Kusuo Saiki is a person whose natural Type A tendencies were forced to quintuple because by the circumstances of his birth, re, psychic powers, he was pushed into the role of his own family’s head caretaker. As we’ve seen, his parents come to him for everything and largely expect him to solve everyone’s problems, including taking their stress out on him. And. Other things.

He hates this but he’s such a damn sap that for all his big talk he’ll do it anyway (a choice exacerbated by his family bullying and guilt tripping him), and he’ll parent the hell out of ‘those people that follow him around a lot’ too, even when he can’t admit to himself he cares for them. He even babies goddamn Makoto Teruhashi the second he gets an opportunity, scoring him one point with his sister and caring for her tangentially with that whole birthday present fiasco.

However, again, he hates this. Further, his standards may not apply to anyone else because he trusts zero other people to actually be decently competent (rare exception being Mikoto Aiura, who he takes on a more genuine mentor role to than the one he takes on for Toritsuka, and Aren himself as I talk about further down) but they absolutely apply to him, and it puts a lot of internal pressure on him.

(Even his ‘playing’ is work.)

He’s also a high moral person to the point that he serves as the karma distributor in not just his social circle, but in anyone who so happens to do something naughty where he can see. It’s one of the only times you’ll see him get a bit chaotic. He’s otherwise quite placid, almost meditatively so.

I tend to believe that he has a lot of anger bundled up inside him that he won’t allow to show, and that’s why when he gets triggered, he gets triggered, but he’s overall a very calm person who, after thinking about it a lot, I thiiiink seems to draw people in with that, in part. I tend to think of him as the sort of person it’s difficult to be anxious around. If you’re able to sense he’s judging you at all (which he absolutely is but he’ll rarely let you know), he’s at least very egalitarian about it and he won’t let it affect how he treats you. That’s something that would be soothing to a lot of people.

He’s led a very exceptional life and, despite his typical day to day, he’s seen more battles than your average high schooler, be it with aliens, meteors, or super volcanoes. Or his own brother.

So, again, kid needs a break more than local average man needs a kit kat, for ‘good luck’.

Enter Carnage Middle’s Murder Weapon, Demon Killer Aren Goddamn Kuboyasu.

Also Type A. Also predisposed to taking care of other people. Also has absofreakinglutely seen more battles than your average high schooler, and I’m led to believe by the overall, uh. Abruptly triggered nature of his anger, probably suffering from PTSD. Also running away from himself. Also wears a pair of fake glasses to hide a facet of himself he doesn’t want others to see, which I think is a cute commonality but anyways. Also very high integrity and also one of the more competent people on cast, at least until his anger gets away from him. He’s also one of the only people in the show with a halfway grounded sense of reality, despite his hair pin rage trigger.

He’s worked hard and, though he still has the ability to be a goofy kid who’ll let himself slack off if he doesn’t care that much, it shows. He chides Nendo for not taking his role as cashier seriously and doing it poorly after chiding Kaidou for assuming that kind of job must be easy, and he says he was a cashier to raise money for his bike.

This is a teenager who used to lead a biker gang which presumably made money via illegal activities, and he took a job as a cashier, one of the most thankless jobs you can get even in Japan, to raise money to fix his bike. He doesn’t say when he crashed his bike, but this chapter seems to take place before the new years chapter where he does it in canon, at least according to the manga which the anime generally follows until Reawakened.

On that note, his talking about getting his motorcycle license and getting Kaidou and Saiki in on it, his being able to cook and take care of himself, etc, sort of seems to make him a general fit for the regular day to day end of living.

He’s also the only character who exceeds Kusuo’s expectations before we meet Hiroshi Satou. Not, ‘wow, you let me down even harder’ like Makoto, not ‘you’re not the worst and I’m getting used to you’ like basically everyone else, but Aren’s integrity and determination to change for the better actually impresses Kusuo and is what allows Aren to even stay at PK despite his history.

(A firecracker? Young man-)

So basically, Kusuo is, after gathering one school day’s worth of info (less, actually) straight away trusting Aren to handle his shit. Kusuo does this with...no one else in the series I can think of.

He’s likewise shown to be the only person second to Kokomi who can sense Kusuo when he’s laying low, except unlike Kokomi he actually nails Kusuo’s exact location whereas Kokomi gets all ‘well maybe I was imagining things’, when she notices him at all.

(Apologies, I took the second screenshot with my microwave.)

So to sum up, Aren is another Type A who is grounded, intelligent, and competent enough that Kusuo trusts him not to cause trouble straight off, and skilled enough that Kusuo can’t hide from him without significant effort. Further, his and Kusuo’s chaotic morality align pretty well. He can take care of himself (caveat being when he gets embroiled in hijinks thanks to his friends) and he’s lived an extraordinary life that very few people can relate to. Also related but Kusuo tends to have a pretty morbid sense of humor

(this is a joke. this is how this boy ‘lightens’ a situation. sir.)

And Aren likewise has a...fascination with morbid stuff.

Kusuo doesn’t joke with very many people. I think Aren is someone he could be more himself with thanks to this connection, plus their intelligence (STREET SMARTS) and Aren also strikes me as a very ‘dry wit’ sort of dude. “The red pattern is really striking, right" infuckingdeed. And of course Aren is also a tenacious ballsy bastard who’s used to getting his own way. Again, leader of a biker gang who fought turf wars. If people weren’t following his command, that was do or die. They probably knew it. Aren definitely would’ve known it. I think it’s fair to infer as such.

This all combines into several points of relatability that I think would theoretically draw them together to become a couple. I think Kusuo would be fascinated by the challenge Aren gives him since Aren can technically evade some of his powers, which makes him somewhat unpredictable, especially with that ‘punch first, think later’ thing - but not so unpredictable that he’d put Kusuo off like Nendo does. And I think Aren would be calmed more by Kusuo’s presence, something that would suck him in more than your average bear because he needs that very much in his life right now.

They’d both, ideally speaking, draw each other back to earth in a very good way the both of them need.

Kusuo can trust Aren enough to relax around him. Aren is both vigilant and willful enough to sit him down and fucking make him. That presents Aren with an opportunity to take care of somebody, something which I think he enjoyed leading his gang and misses, which I also think is why he connects with Also A Needy Bitch Shun Kaidou so quickly.

And with someone he can trust, I think Kusuo might let himself be taken care of. And furthermore, I think Kusuo would really enjoy that, and Aren is sympathetic enough of a guy he’d take pleasure from that too, I think. I also think both of them have a drive to be better and do better that would ideally inspire each other to keep at it. I also also think, once they hit a certain stage, their points of commonality would allow them to relax around each other and be themselves with each other more than they’d otherwise do with anybody else.

(I’m putting this here because it’s funny.)

The people they’re surrounded with are generally more vulnerable and would be easier to hurt, and while Kusuo would still have to be on some eggshells due to his strength, I think he’d do better in a hypothetical relationship with Aren than anybody else because of it.

Shun is a close second choice for Aren for me, and I get why people see the appeal. There’s a lot in Shun too that I see in what makes Kusuo a good partner for Aren, the only issue being Shun is generally very delicate and Aren is, well. Rough around the edges. One slip and irrevocable hurt could be done in an instant. So, maybe most importantly, if Aren ever does snap, Kusuo is tough enough to put him back in his place, and wouldn’t take critical damage (unless Aren seriously tries). And I think Aren needs that kind of guidance in his life, like, a lot.

(He’s squinting because whoever took this screenshot also did it with their microwave and they can’t see for bupkiss. Also in the LA Aren actually needs glasses for. Comedy.)

And for Kusuo, Kokomi is the same. A close second who shares a lot of qualities that would make Aren a good partner for Kusuo. And while Kokomi is less breakable than Shun, I do think she has a bad case of the comphets that may lead her to booking it the second Kusuo reciprocates, but even if she does catch Bi Feelings I think that the way they thrive is too different for them to live a compatible lifestyle unless they both change and figure out a really, really good compromise.

Of course there is an issue with these two, Aren and Kusuo that is.

Not only is there a lot of compatibility that makes for enjoyable writing, but there’s a lot of conflict that makes for enjoyable writing. Said issue is that both of these boys have heaping piles of trauma and just as they’d likely bring out the best in each other, their vulnerability with each other and identical tendencies to get seriously nasty when pushed would also likely bring out the worst in each other.

And both of these kids have a lot of worst to give.

(Oh look another point of commonality a;lskdfj)

I see these two as a very fire meets ice creating blinding steam. Sometimes that steam can get steamy, sometimes it affects the electric and sets the house on fire. Again, they’re both Type As who are used to being in charge of their respective clans. The entire thing basically hinges on Kusuo choosing to let go of the reins because he trusts Aren enough to let Aren take charge so he can get in a much needed breather. Aren, I expect, would be flattered by this, but he may also expect this and resent it if Kusuo decides to stop playing submissive, purely for the fact they both know who’s really in charge (hint : not Aren) and it may be a rude wake up call.

Aren needs power to cope. Kusuo has power but needs to release it to cope. Aren...may eventually be able to release power to cope but he’s not at that stage yet. His life has been out of control so long that control is something he needs a lot of right now. Kusuo, by reverse, has been in control too long even if he’s used to fighting for it. The mechanism is the same but works out in opposite ways, if that makes sense, but given it is the same it can be dangerous.

Especially because I think they’re both the kind of people who argue/fight for fun. Like. Oof. They would need to learn to turn that in different directions, because with the level of vulnerability between them and their shitty sense of boundaries, verbal sparring as love language wouldn’t be viable for these two as I see them for the most part. They’ll absolutely dress down an opponent and tear them apart, but they could also do that to each other by accident. They’re a very chaotic duo doing their best to be neutrals and sometimes failing catastrophically.

(Yes I am using my own fanart as an image break in this dense wall of text thank you for asking.)

By and large, pairing Kusuo with people to begin with is an imagination exercise for me, because I think his disinclination toward romance while secretly enjoying it is funny. I’m very glad the show/manga didn’t end with him actually getting into a romantic relationship, but I am fascinated by the idea of how a kid like him would function in one.

So to summarize a very long post rife with headcanons and speculation, I see theirs at its best as a very sweet and frankly ideal to my tastes relationship where they’re bringing out the best in each other and encouraging each other to do better, where they’re comfortable and relaxed because of all their similarities, and their personalities seem compatible. However, maybe a little too compatible because they’re quite alike in their worst tendencies, which could cause their relationship to explode.

In my head it’s a high passion, high vulnerable relationship with very interesting power dynamics whose ability to go south so easily makes great fodder for personal growth with that drive to do better, and since ‘bully them until they cry so they’ll be able to get better’ is basically my entire thing right now -chefs kiss-

Also I think it’s really fricking funny. And of all the possible dynamics that may be present, in a hypothetical where it would ever happen, with all the above essay in mind, Aren and Kusuo are definitely the funnest, and the funniest, to write for me.

Ahem. So, thanks for asking aaaand

genshin snz headcanons

i caved here are literally All my genshin snz headcanons cause im thinkin so hard rn

albedo

def sneezes in fits but tries to stifle whenever possible

uses his elbow most of the time, but sometimes when hes especially deep in a fit he ends up just sneezing desperately in the air

quiet and breathy

tries to make his sneezes as discrete as possible but the further in fits he gets, the more desperate his sneezes sound

every time he has a buildup to a sneeze, he kinda just shudders leadin up to it yknow

he always tries to be cautious and not get anyone sick when he is sick bless him

ok this fucker inhabits an ice mountain theres no way he doesnt get at least a *couple* colds

mona

sneezes in likes twos, threes

this is so unoriginal bcs hydro vision but like her sneezes are def at least a bit wet-sounding

uses tissues when avaliable, but if not she just kinda turns to the side

loud and high-pitched

she sneezes relatively suddenly and it takes her by surprise sometimes

tbh mona feels like somebody who’d have allergies and being all sniffly and miserable looking and still try to deny that shes allergic to anything and that youre stupid for thinking so. very tsundere.

speaking of sniffly her nose probably just constantly runs like a tap when shes sick

she wouldnt even try to keep her germs to herself and would be disgusted at sick ppl even if she was the one to get you sick

hu tao

literally almost never sneezes* but when she does its singles

uses her elbow and covers her mouth, ty hu tao for being a good snz role model

kinda low and naturally soft

long ass fucking buildups! her nose just kinda itches for a whole two minutes and her breath wavers before she sneezes quickly

so for the asterisk * i kinda lied, she sneezes up a storm only when sick, she has kinda a subpar immune systme so whenever shes sick she just is stuck with sneezng consistently through the whole day til shes dizzy

jean

also sneezes in singles, occasional doubles

alternates between using hankerchiefs if avaliable or just her elbow

i feel like jean is the type of person to like excuse herself right before succumbing to a fit

small sneezes, decently graceful

i feel like shed had a dust allergy honestly

jean literally will not take sick days even when she has awful colds, and while she tries not to get ppl sick she does a kinda awful job at it

amber

two to four usually

elbow once again, but sometimes when shes gliding she cant really use her arms so she just sneezes in the air

squeaky def, high pitched

she def has hayfever and one day opens her glider and its just covered in pollen

no build ups to her sneeze, just a sharp inhale and then the snz

eula

we already saw her snz so

either single sneezes or long ass fits, no inbetween

sneezes into her gloves, but when her sneezes start to get messy she switches to a hankerchief

breathy and feminine

cyro characters get colds cause i say so

no fr tho eula just miserable w a cold and just constantly having to duck foward and sneeze into her gloves

half of her cold is her denying shes sick even when she looks absolutely horrible and the other half is complaining about how miserable she feels and demanding people to do things for her

childe

doubles usually

he sneezes into the air or in his hands this fucker would never sneeze in his elbow

messy and desperate

long! ass! fucking! buildups! he tries to hide the hitching with his builds ups but hes not at all good at it

his sneezes get so much messier the sicker he is, until hes practically just dripping

dont be decieved by the way he hides being sick, he desperately craves being coddled whenever hes sick because of his home life

suprisingly good at caretaking

diluc

triples and quadruples i feel like

elbow primarily, but sometimes uses tissues

loud and rough

he tries so hard to hide his allergies but it never works because his sneezes are always so loud

fuck it give him all the allergies

his voice gets stuffy so quickly when even in like a five foot vicinity of flowers, and his nose itches so much to the point where it feels like hes just constantly building up to another sneeze

has probably sneezed on someones drink at least once while he had a cold

kaeya

almost only fits and he fucking hates it

he usually pinches his nose to stifle but if he cant manage he either quickly goes for the elbow or just ducks his head down and sneezes towards the floor

shaky and itchy-sounding if that makes sense

yknow that little gasp people do sometimes before sneezing i feel like hed do that

never takes sick days unless forced to by jean or diluc, and ends up shambling through his daily tasks shaky and feverish and sneezy

he tries to stifle but it really does not work

rosaria

singles, and if u catch her sneezing she’ll probably make you swear to silence

literally just in the elbow

honestly i feel like shed sneeze like a kitten, or just really high and femme

she sees being sick/allergic as a sign of weakness so fights sneezing very hard. like u can see the visible effort she makes pinching her nose and shit after her breath hitches even once

also one of those dumbasses that stifle way too much and doesnt take sickdays

ningguang

doubles unless shes allergic, then its fits

she has a fancy ass lace hankerchief she carries w her speficially for snzs to look ‘proper’

she forces her sneezes to be elegant, sneezing naturally is loud tho

small buildups but v audible breaths building up to a sneeze

she has a good immune system but when she does get sick she gets it bad and tries to cover up her flushed face and red nose with makeup

without people around her she just lets herself be miserable while sneezes, lettting out small little “..guh...” after a particularly bad fit

beidou

doubles or triples

beidou would also like never use her elbow, shed sneeze in her fist even if the sneeze is messy as hell

loud and proud of it

look all im saying is beidou is a walking health hazard whenever sick, she doesnt try at all to keep colds to herself and can and wil sneeze into her hand only to shake yours seconds later

no buildups, just sudden sneezes that scare the shit out of people tho

very very fucking messy

half the time does not care if shes sick, she doesnt really feel like she needs to take sick days because she doesnt feel that bad and stuff like that

lisa

singles and occasional doubles

she keeps tissues on her and uses them relatively often

delicate and proper

the idea of lisa having a dust allergy is just everything to me, like she blows off dust from a book and ends up stuck for a few minutes with her nostrils flaring until she finally sneezes desperately into a tissue

rarely gets sick, but when she does milks the hell out of it to be as lazy as possible. like “oh im feeling so awful rn, maybe a kiss will make me feel better?~”

venti

fits fits fits

hands or elbows, really depends on how hard the sneeze hits him

decently loud and a bit high pitched

look venti is an anemo god all im saying is when he sneezes the wind picks up, and when he has fits its enough to push you over

to remedy this he just avoids everyone when sick and avoids cats with a a passion

buildups are very breathy and desperate

his nose runs so much near cats and he makes a godddamn mess of himself the longer hes around them

cats absolutely love him regardless

xiao

he gets fits only bcs i say so

literally either just the air or his hands because nobody ever taught him that he should like cover his mouth properly when sneezing

quiet but messy

the idea of xiao w just torturuous buildups does something for me. he’ll be stuck there w his breath hitching and hazy eyes for like a whole minute before he finally just ducks into his hand and makes a mess of himself

he does not understand being sick and absolutely hates it when he does get sick, 100% tries to power through it and ends up a fucking mess by the end of the day

his sneezes get stuck so often

his nose gets so fucking flushed and twitchy after a while of sneezing

ganyu

doubles or triples

sneezes in her elbow most of the time

soft and low

when she gets sick she gets so sleepy, her sneezes just kinda draw all the energy outta her and she usually ends up taking a nap

shes allergic to dogs too bcs why not

she doesnt want to bother people when sick or get them sick too so she usually takes copious sickdays until shes absolutely certain that she cant get anyone sick

zhongli

triples literally always for some reason

either into his fist or into a hankerchief

low and masculine, a bit loud

doing the same god shtick with him, the floor tends to shake whenever he gets particularly sneezy and stuff on cupboards can and will fall over when in the vicinity

no buildups really, hell just be in the middle of talking and then he blinks a bit and then sneezes roughly

he doesnt really take sick days but he doesnt really deny hes sick either, just kinda tries to get through the day despite feeling awful

#g/enshin i/mpact #sneeze kink #snz #sneeze headcanons #damn this took a while #i played favorites w x/iao and m/ona honestly #its my personal goal now to write every g/enshin character snzing at least once in a fic

Actually Beauty And The Beast was my favorite Disney movie growing up and I’m still salty about Descendants ruining those characters so here’s some Beast headcanons. Warning for mentions of child abuse

Adam refused to touch Ben for the first year of his life. I don’t mean he refused to change him or feed him or rock him to sleep, I mean he refused any kind of physical contact at all. He also... didn’t want to be alone with his son. That was harder to notice, because the castle is always full of people and the staff were all looking for opportunities to coo at the little prince. There was always someone in the room, but by the time the touching thing starts to really drive Belle crazy she’s begun to notice the alone thing too. She thought maybe she should be angry about it? But, honestly, she was just confused, because the thing was -- Adam absolutely adored Ben. He didn’t want to touch him, but be wanted to be touching whoever was holding him. Adam would stop whatever he was doing to lie down with Belle when she was breastfeeding, pet her hair and kiss her hands. Every time she was rocking Ben to sleep Adam would come up behind her and wrap his arms around her and rest his chin on top of her head. If Lumiere or Cogsworth had Ben Adam was there, peering over their shoulders. If Chip asked to hold the baby Adam could be found hovering not far away, watching like a hawk. Mrs. Potts he trusted, but he still skulked after her when she was walking around with Ben in her arms, trailing like a shadow. He didn’t want to be alone with Ben, but he clearly wanted to be with Ben. The only exception seemed to be at night, when he would get up and wander into the nursery at some ungodly hour. At first Belle thought she dreamed it, but when Ben was about a year old she decided to stage a little experiment. In between getting up to feed or change Ben she pretended to be asleep, and sure enough, when Ben was well and truly asleep and hadn’t fussed in a while, Adam got up and left the room. As quietly as she could, Belle followed. She found her husband hovering over the crib like some kind of bizarre gargoyle, watching their son sleep. He had his hands knotted in his sleep shirt, tangled there like some kind of bondage. He didn’t reach out, he just stood and watched. The next morning, Belle went to Lumiere. She’d tried to confront Adam already and he always had some plausible excuse for his weird behavior, and of all the castle inhabitants she figured Lumiere was the most likely to spill his masters secrets. So, out with it, why is her husband acting like she gave birth to a pressure bomb. It was... surprisingly difficult, actually, to get the story out of Lumiere, but eventually he told her. Adam’s father had always been a cold and aggressive man. He was hard to approach, unforgiving of mistakes, and well known for being demanding of his servants. When his wife died in childbirth the servants all expected that to get worse -- he was grieving, after all, and it seemed natural he would take it out on them. That, they were all prepared to deal with. What none of them expected was for him to turn his anger on his son. What none of them expected was for the prince -- only a few months old -- to reach out one chubby hand to wrap his dad’s finger, the way babies often to, only for their master to grab that same little, tiny hand and break all five of those little, tiny fingers, one by one while the baby screamed. Belle had already heard parts of what Adam’s childhood was like, his cruel and violent father and the isolation and anger that led to him leaving an old woman to freeze on his doorstep. She wasn’t ready to hear that, though. She... didn’t push Adam, after that. Still, she made it a point to start following him into Ben’s nursery at night. She didn’t know what exactly it was that Adam was looking for, when he stared at their sleeping son like he was gazing into a crystal ball, but whatever it was, she wanted to be there when he found it. After nearly another month of this, it finally happened. Ben was crawling, and keeping him out of trouble was a full time job. One day he managed to squirm away from his caretaker, make a break for the hallway, and scoot his little self all the way down the hall before anyone could catch him. Luckily, instead of taking a tumble down the stairs, he beelined for the open door of his dad’s study. Adam was reading a proposition from the local merchant guild and not looking at the floor for any sudden babies, so he didn’t notice Ben was there until the little prince grabbed hold of his pant leg and used it to haul himself to his feet. And like that, both of Adam’s rules were broken. He was in a room alone with his son, and Ben was touching him -- one could even argue Adam was, in a way, holding Ben, because if he moved his leg at all Ben would no doubt topple to the floor. Ben stared up at him with wide, curious eyes. He burbled. He reached out one chubby hand. When Belle rushed in a second later, she found Adam with his head cradled in one hand, sobbing like a child. His other hand was occupied, one crooked finger clutched firmly in the grasp of their son.

After that, getting Adam to let anyone else hold Ben was like trying to reason with an especially contrary cat. Eventually the castle staff would joke that half the reason Ben can be so clumsy is because his dad held him from the time he was two to the time he was ten, and the boy never had to learn how to use his own legs.

#descendants #king beast #king ben #beauty and the beast #why do my headcanon posts always get so long #why can't I ever just Explain Things #anyway #Adam isn't a perfect father by any means #but he loves his son to bits and would never intentionally cause him harm #and this is the hill I will die on #shut up alice #not writing #almost writing #headcanons

Hello there! ☀️ Could you do headcanons for Azul, Malleus, Riddle and Kalim with a kind s/o from Octavinelle dorm who is active as the local student support / mentor (yk just helping people manage their student lives and help if they have emotional baggage) because they've been bullied a lot as a child and will fight to protect and be there for anyone who struggles because they want to be "the hero that never came for them"? Have a nice day 😊

Dear Anon, hello! Sorry for the delay, I was in a thesis rush...

The school now has their local emotional support coming up! They all need a hero, and this hero will be you. Thank you for requesting! I got a little carried away with Azul, since he is the Dorm Leader of Octavinelle and bullying resonate personally with him. Hope you don’t mind!

Hope you’ll enjoy! Have an amazing day, wherever you are!

“We are more alike than I thought...”

At first, Azul saw you as a huge advantage for Octavinelle and his own personal business. Students came to Mostro Lounge for your good advices, and if you were to be absent, he would ever so kindly offer his help to said students. Between people coming for help and the ones coming to talk to you casually and have a drink, the Lounge's clientele was growing.

And there were time where you would come up straight to Azul and ask him if he needed assistance, to talk or vent. The Dorm Leader would just brush off your questions. To be honest, he was a little cautious. Why did you want him to talk? Were you aiming at something in particular? Were you searching for information to use against him? You were always so nice with everybody and himself, that was why he liked you so much, but what if you had something against him because of contracts he did with your friends or something. (Azul's business spirit making him paranoid)

Azul asked the twins to invistigate your intentions. And to his surprise, your only answer was "I'm worried about Azul". You noticed Azul's attitude regarding certains subjects, making you worried. Curiosity got the better of himself, and the octopus went to confront you himself. So he invited you to a casual talking in the VIP room, around a cup of tea.

This was when you admitted your past to him. The boy felt his heart squeeze. Bullying was something that it sadly so close to his own experience. But you took a different path than him. When you said you wanted to become the hero that never came in his past, his lower lip trembled. He admired your growth and your strength. In fact, you were the strongest person he knew. He made a non-contract deal with you. He will come to you when the need to talk comes, but he asked from you to do the same. And the time when he comes to you is the biggest proof of trust he could give.

“You really are strong.”

Malleus was intrigued by you, the one student always helping others in this school of villains.He often saw you in the corridors, talking with people and people coming to you naturally. It was not something he had ever experience himself, because of his imposing aura.

And this aura was the reason why he was so taken aback when you approached him, with a shy “Why are you always alone?” with worry in your eyes. Ever since this moment, you came naturally to Malleus to check if he was not lonely.

The dear fae was so touched by this. You were now one of his most precious friends, if not the only one, knights and caretakers aside. This precious relation was something he treasured, and helpful for him. When he admitted it to you, he was surprised to see you so moved. That was at this moment you opened up about your past and your wish to be the hero you needed.

The first thing he thought was how strong you were to overcome this experience, and to grow out of this to become who you were right now. He hoped you were proud of yourself, because he was so proud of you.

“You know, if you need to talk about it, you can rely on me.”

Riddle was taken aback the first time you came up to him to ask if he was alright, not so long after the whole Overblot incident. At first, he did not respond that much, wanting to avoid the subject. But the redhair is polite, so he still talked with you, and before he realized it, you two were close friends.

Your personality relaxed him, and after a stressful day, he loved to sit with you around a nice cup of tea and cake to talk about your day. You encouraged him to let out his stress, and he did while you were here to listen to everything. At this point, you knew more about him than anyone - aside from Trey and Chenya.

But one day, instead of being the one talking about his life, Riddle wanted to return the favor. One subject led to another, and soon, he learnt about your past experiences with bullying and your determination to help others.

He actually thanked you for trusting him enough to tell him about such a touchy subject, and promised to be here for you. It was a good thing to help others, but he did not want you to neglict your own feelings either.

“Let’s make this world a better place together! What do you say?”

You are kind. You are supportive. You have attracted Kalim in no time. The shiny boy literal materialized next to you one day and never left. To both Jamil’s pleasure and misery. Pleasure because it meant peace for him, but misery because he still had to make sure you had no darker intentions.

But you were safe, or rather Kalim was safe with you. He loved to ramble about his day or his not-so-existent worries to you around spicy food. He came with you each time you went to talk to people who needed assistance. The two of you soon became known as “the sunshine emotional support” of this school.

During one shared happy meal, the curious Kalim asked why you were so eagered to help others every single time. It was a good thing, really, but he was curious and wanted to learn more about you. But he was not expecting your personal story. His first reaction was to give you one of his best hugs. (And he already gives the best hug, so expect the best of the best hugs)

Kalim made his decision: his new goal was to help you, to make this world (or at least this school) a better place for everyone. Poor Jamil, more work for him to make sure Kalim does not jump on every single student to ask them about their problems.

Assorted Darkrai headcanons:

This is Alamos Darkrai!

He is very grumpy, a jerk with a heart of gold.

Darkrai is affected by his own ability, he also cannot control it. He has both natural insomnia and hates sleeping due to the constant nightmares. The nightmares affect anyone sleeping within a half mile radius of him, and persist until they wake up even if he leaves.

He ADORES plants, like he is now the main caretaker of the Alamos Garden he loves them so much

He doesn’t really like humans, in fact he hates almost all of them. It is reasonable though, he is used to being attacked by them. He has a lot of scars

Tw: Self harm and eating disorders

Darkrai struggles with cutting himself, which is why he has those bandages around his wrists; they remind him to not cut.

I hope that I don’t misrepresent eating disorders here, let me know if I do! Darkrai has a guilt thing with eating food, he feels as if he doesn’t deserve to eat. If he does eat he most likely will throw it back up once he’s alone.

He is starting to get better though! He has friends that love an support him.

After he was killed by Palkia and Dialga he lost about 80% of his hearing- he had already been half deaf since birth- and it didn’t get repaired once Palkia brought him back.

He has hearing aids though! Made by Meta Knight! They work pretty well but he still mishears some words.

He knows sign language!

listen I have so many questions about Stanford Sam, like this kid who was raised in the wild, barely aware of acceptable social conduct arrives with his 2 ectoplasm stained t-shirts at his dorm and like ????? is he very aware of it at first? or does he think he's hiding it well? and like moving in with Jessica?????? he doesn't know how to water plants and that you have to pay electricity bills ??? Like obviously he's not stupid, we know that!! But there are certain things about ordinary everyday life that are just impossible to pick up when you're raised like that. And this is just surface-level stuff, like I feel overwhelmed just thinking about how many tiny things I do in a day, just normal life stuff that I've always done, that Sam would be like ???? so weirded out by, or maybe creepily fascinated ??? Would he try and copy everyone around him maybe??? and then all the odd things that he'd probably do !!! like just basic marine survival nonsense he's dad probably taught him applied in mundane life situations that would make him stand out and he wouldn't even notice !!! And he thinks he's doing fine, people seem to accept him, but then suddenly someone mentions like... TRL or something and he's like ??? and then Dean picks him up and it all falls to pieces, because it's so EASY and ingrained and he doesn't have to pretend and it puts it into perspective how not okay he was doing at Stanford even when it felt like he was ?? god I'm just rambling, like I barely even have headcanons, I'm just so overwhelmed by all the possibilities of how this would play out !!!!

Holy crap, first I wanna apologize if this has been sitting here awhile. The Ask notification location in settings instead of notifications on the app is so weird and I get them so rarely I don’t think to check. (and the website shows that I have 4 but this one is the only one it’ll show? How does tumblr work? Oh yeah, it doesn’t lol.)

Anyway, I have so many thoughts on this! But they’re not necessarily cohesive?! Like first we all know Sam is super smart. He’s curious. He’s inquisitive. But he’s also sheltered in weird ways. There are things he’s known about the world that most people would never know about, let alone kids his age at any given time; yet the existence of those things--and the understanding that therefore potentially anything could be real--also lends itself to keeping him childlike--he had an “imaginary friend” at age nine and believed in the Easter bunny through age eleven, which is much later than the average probably???

By middle school, he definitely would’ve been feeling the strains of his otherness around his classmates, even if they weren’t constantly moving around, but of course the nomadic lifestyle just makes it even harder.

I think Sam is a very observant person, though. He figured out something was up with their dad and The Truth at age 8! So people watching is Sam’s saving grace for getting along in the mundane world. He definitely learns to mask his otherness by mimicking mundane people.

And I get sidetracked here because then I start thinking about exactly how their childhood went. We know John used Pastor Jim and Bobby as childcare/parenting support to some degree. I don’t think we really know anything about Caleb, maybe I’m forgetting something, but my headcanon is that Caleb functioned as a “fun younger uncle” type to Sam and Dean: cool, responsible in a pinch, but mostly not given childcare responsibilities because of his wilding tendencies. (they learn swears accidentally from Bobby and John, but Caleb TEACHES them.) Sam and Dean didn’t even know about Missouri until s1, so she’s off the caretaker list. They had that babysitter they met up with in uhh... Swap Meat! But largely we assume that Dean had a lot of the caretaking responsibilities; maybe with temporary babysitters in other places the same as Swap Meat.

And lbh you just can’t expect well-rounded, informed child-rearing from a kid only four years older. There’s a reason I associate a lot of weechester flashbacks with Sammy watching TV like in Something Wicked, because literally little siblings are A LOT and sometimes you just want them to sit still and quiet and leave you alone for a bit omg.(wait, give me a minute, I’m imagining little 6 year old Dean on the phone with Bobby because John ran out for food supplies and isn’t back yet and Sammy is still asleep but Dean’s creeped out in the longterm room they’re staying in because he KNOWS about the supernatural already. but then bobby gets on John’s case about it--and instead of never leaving Dean alone with baby Sam again, Dean learns from John’s belt not to call anyone when he’s left alone unless it’s an ACTUAL EMERGENCY. Or maybe, because marine, John doesn’t use his belt; maybe he uses PT instead and every time Dean thinks about calling Bobby for that reason again, his abs ache from the memory of punishment situps, or his arms get suddenly shaky thinking about doing pushups til he just couldn’t anymore.)

I haven’t read all of John’s Journal, and I know it’s not actually canon, but IIRC the bits that I’ve read from the wiki show John and the boys staying with a family friend in Lawrence for a few weeks, MAYBE a few months before John visits Missouri and everything STARTS. I think if he hadn’t picked up and left with them then, the family friends would’ve been contacting CPS because they’re starting to think John’s grief is making him unhinged. (I really want to read the journal tbh--there are bits I’ve seen that make me fantasize even more about boyking!sam storylines... but I’m getting even more off track.)

So we’ve got this weird/interesting dichotomy of kids that are groomed with these hyperspecialiizations, too weird to really fit in with other kids but sheltered from the actual hunter life also--like the fact that there ARE other hunters, like as a THING, not just their dad’s rando friends that, as kids, they may just assume know about the supernatural because their dad told them! (jfc they’re SO PRIMED to be each other’s entire world omg I’m gonna die)

So like, by being quiet and observant (an imaginative kid, by nature and by nurture as John starts to take Dean out more and leave Sam alone with his own thoughts), Sam would pick up a lot of things. But they’re never anywhere long enough for him to fully grasp everything and he would definitely suffer a bit from the Dunning-Kruger effect--not having enough knowledge about a thing, but having just enough that you don’t realize you don’t.

Let’s say Sam observes and picks up some things about normal residential life by being around a few mundane babysitters. The nature of John’s “work” would mean that, even if they were in a more in-home-daycare-like situation, they’d be likely to be the “after hours” kinds of kids that are still there when everyone else is picked up and the babysitter would normally be doing their normal life stuff: changing clothes, cleaning up from the daycare kids, making dinner, etc (sam and dean would definitely help, either out of kindness or duty or because it’s agreed that if they help out John will get a discount on their care costs--don’t mind me, just projecting my childhood onto the winchesters hahh. I’m NOT going to go off on a tangent about Dean already having so much experience caring for babies cuz of Sam. He definitely doesn’t have all the under-4s following him around begging for attention while he burps one of the three babies their babysitter cares for after a bottle. it DEFINITELY didn’t make Sam (age 4, 5, 6 maybe) jealous enough to repress the memory so that over a decade later he would claim that Dean doesn’t even LIKE kids.)

Uhh... what was I talking about? Oh yeah, Sam. Observing normal life. Anyway so maybe after things settle for the day, sometimes a babysitter will sit at the dining table with the weekly bills and their checkbook and do the bills. And Sam kind of loves things like this: it feels like something important; it feels like playing school before he was old enough to go (quick aside here: John totally enrolled Sam in school early, both because that’s the only way his age works with canon timeline and because it would make life easier if Sam was in school just like Dean--more cost-and-time efficient.) And maybe Sam goes and sits at the table and just. Watches.

And then he asks questions. When he’s curious, he doesn’t keep his questions to himself as a child (unless the subject is expressly forbidden: see Dean’s reaction when Sam brings up Mary). But his age would inevitably limit the scope and understanding of those questions. Adults are generally disinclined to fully explain the adult world to children, especially when it comes to finances, and in the 80s and early 90s?? With most of the adults of that time that I knew, those kinds of questions were considered rude and nosey. He might understand that adults have to pay bills; he may even understand something about utilities; but he wouldn’t necessarily understand all the requirements and frequency.

Though their nomadic lifestyle wasn’t stable by any “normal” definition, one thing to be said about mostly living out of motels is that your power is never cut off, or your water, or your heat. There’s always television, usually with cable. And the only form of payment you see going on is dad handing over cash or plastic at the front desk--one and done. My headcanon usually disallows the idea that they would’ve squatted in empty houses when Sam and Dean were kids (John makes plenty of bad decisions but I just don’t see him staying in a place without power or water with CHILDREN. Teenagers? SURE.) They would learn how to clean house and make proper beds even when it wasn’t always necessary with housekeeping available--both because of John’s military parenting style and because John would be most likely to opt out of daily housekeeping to lower the risk of having people ask questions.

So yeah, there are so many little intricacies of the mundane world that Sam wouldn’t be conditioned to even think about. Even the realization that he doesn’t know enough about regular life, as he grows up and longs more and more for that very thing because he’s never had more than a glimpse of it, wouldn’t necessarily be enough.

Would his natural curiosity lead him to ask those questions? He can’t ask John because he already asked Dean and got a dismissive answer because ‘what does any of that matter, Sam? we’ll never have to worry about that shit.’ and if Dean seems borderline offended by the sheer audacity of the questions in the first place, he knows John will be worse.

In the 90s, life skills were still kind of a thing in most U.S. schools. But in a really inconsistent way. Sometimes it was in health class curriculum; sometimes your math class would actually do a short focus on balancing a checkbook and banking if there was a chapter, but a lot of times those parts get skipped. You never use the whole textbook. Sometimes life skills was only in Home Ec, but H.E. was completely elective in my area when I was in middle school (the same exact years Sam would’ve been in middle school) and I’m assuming the same for most of the U.S. Sam may have taken it, or he may have taken something else instead (wood shop or computer class were the alternatives in my area). Maybe the nature of school hopping meant that he HAD to enroll in Home Ec, because resources for the other electives were finite, but somehow always managed to miss the bills and budgeting portion. Maybe he couldn’t even take Home Ec due to class size or resources and they just put him in a study hall for that period. (Maybe they put him in the computer class, where he mostly does book work until he gets a turn on the PC he has to share with his classmate.)

As an observant person, Sam totally would’ve known about TRL, I think. There’s no way at least one group of kids in the halls or lunchroom wasn’t talking about it every day in high school, especially with the advent of Britney Spears and Eminem and Jesse freakin Camp. Maybe he goes to someone’s house to try to hang out or to study and they turn it on and Sam watches raptly because it’s such a strange phenomenon and he hardly ever gets to hear new music, much less watch the videos. But he can’t actually get into it because the fangirls are annoying and his analytical mind won’t let him suspend his disbelief about how the voting works. (Maybe he tries giving it another shot in their motel room sometimes, but Dean vetoes that bubblegum pop shit IMMEDIATELY--no Sam, look, that shit isn’t REAL music; most of them don’t even play instruments. And it’s really not fair because Dean TOTALLY watched MTV’s The Grind in the early 90s for his fix of suggestively gyrating bodies before he figured out how to access porn without getting caught.)

Sam and Dean actually make a LOT of pop culture references, which always fascinates me. I imagine they did a lot of TV watching and VCR/movie renting in the times they weren’t working on a case with/for their dad (projecting again; my dad’s house was a very boring place on his weekends). The nature of Dean’s idolization of John and disinclination to let Sam have his own separate likes means they have a mix of age-appropriate pop culture knowledge and a lot of Boomer-era TV and movie knowledge--Dean more than Sam, maybe when it comes to things like cowboy movies and TV lol.

Anyway, as the realization that he doesn’t really know how anything works crept in, maybe Sam would try to lowkey create situations where he could ask his friends/his friends’ parents those normal life kind of questions. But maybe after his first few tries, he’s become so uncomfortably aware of how weird he is to even need to ask that he stops asking. Maybe he starts to tap into his specialized skills and starts snooping/creeping around their houses to try to glean knowledge. Maybe he scours the library for books on ‘what you need to know for life’--I have the urge now to do a google search on actual titles of books on this subject that may have existed at the time, but I’ve already spent a lot of time on this without going into research spirals. lol Maybe he can’t find exactly the things that are pertinent--still doesn’t fully realize that, though--and in the meantime his cache of esoteric knowledge continues to build.

So he gets to Stanford and he mostly understands how the financing works; enough to get by with enrollment and stuff. He understands that he’ll need to get a job of some sort to make ends meet because he’s there to be normal and normal people don’t pay for everything with scammed credit cards and billiards money; he knows that much. But he doesn’t really know about wages, minimum wage, freaking payroll taxes, etc. (I feel like Dean would’ve had odd jobs as a teen, some legit some under the table, but that the nature of John (and Dean) wanting to keep Sam home and safe would’ve made the subject of Sam working through high school a banned topic. And anyway, much as I’m not a fan of the characterization in Drag Me Away (From You), what Dean said to Sam about the impossibility of getting into college with the way his academic career would look is accurate. So Sam would’ve probably spent most of his free time on academics so he could get the fuck out, rather than trying to get a job.

Maybe having to buy his textbooks would be a surprise? John probably always qualified for Sam and Dean to be on free lunch/free book programs in public school, not to mention the likelihood of the records being at least partially counterfeit. But at the same time, John was probably very hands off with their school enrollment crap once the boys were old enough to handle it themselves, so Sam would at least have an inkling.

Sam would be a weird mix of no-boundaries and too-secretive, and his first attempts at acting normal would be a bit too put-on. He’s got experience acting per 1x16 (oh, maybe he did drama instead of home ec somewhere lol), but acting on stage is so much different to acting in a more personal setting. On stage you have to exaggerate your movements to project all the way to the back. Early-Stanford Sam, I guess, is a bit like Soulless Sam. He knows there’s something off about him compared to the people around him, and he just does his best to pretend he’s the same as them without calling attention to his differences, which ends up coming off robotic. A little Stepford. A little uncanny valley. He learns to bite his tongue every time he’s about to let something normal only to his family roll off it; learns to be even more vague than he used to be, because now he’s around strangers ALL THE TIME.

At some point, Sam has a little-but-big breakdown about a payment he missed or the fact that he had to steal shampoo because he didn’t even have toiletries in his budget and couldn’t even afford a bottle of White Rain or Suave, so since he was stealing anyway he got the special brand he really likes and then feels too awful to even use it and doesn’t wash his hair for a week. Brady takes pity on the cute but hapless puppy-boy who is a physical and academic behemoth but has obviously been living off-grid on some kind of militia commune for the past forever--at first the rumor was that he was Amish on rumspringa but the amount of times Sam has busted out some supremely random survival knowledge in casual conversation changes that rumor quickly--and has no understanding of the world. And by the time he moves off-campus with Jess, Sam has this masking thing down pretty well; he can almost forget he’s not normal sometimes and Jess only knows about his previous helplessness in a cute, anecdotal kind of way.

And then Dean comes and gets him and Sam’s all “you and Dad still doing credit card scams?” and Dean’s like “well hunting doesn’t pay the bills.”

AND SAM’S LIKE, NEITHER DO YOU DEAN! DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHAT BILLS ARE?! BECAUSE I DIDN’T AND IT WOULD’VE BEEN NICE TO KNOW!

In Another Life - Part 6

Masterlist (x)

A/N: As promised, one more chapter of Elijah trying to find Katherine as well as some flashback scenes. I also think that deep down, Elijah is a very tortured soul. Anyway, I hope you enjoy it.

English is not my first language → I do not own anything of the TVD - Universe and I’m not affiliated or associated with the writers etc. This is only a headcanon/fanfiction.

Pairing: Kalijah ( Katherine / Elijah )

TW: death, assault.

Word Count: 4.867

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

▬ Somewhere near Atlanta ▬

The motorway signs told Elijah that he'll reach Atlanta in a bit, however, he chose an earlier exit because he needed to check something first. His Porsche followed the country roads quickly, faster than allowed, until he turned in a small allee with impressive oaks lining up the way. Eventually, he had reached a small secluded, yet still easily accessible house.

The energy went off and Elijah left his car. The white gravel crunched underneath his feet as he stilled in his movements and let his gaze wander attentively over the small manor.

Despite the long absence, everything looked impeccable. The gravel was spotless without any tares, the lawn cut short. It was well maintained and Elijah decided that he should give the caretaker a tip for his flawless work. It definitely didn't look like no one has lived in that building for the past few years.

While he was walking to the house, he was watching the ground, searching for bumps and irregularities in the white gravel. However, it was as impeccable as the rest. Technically, that would have been to Elijah's liking but in the current circumstances, it won't give him the kind of reassurance he was searching for. Moreover, it didn't please him at all. Elijah then eyed the front door attentively, searching for any possible change (or damage) -- again without success.

His eyes narrowed a bit as his fingertips glid over the upside of the door frame, knowing that there's a tiny saving in the wall fit for a key. It didn't take him long to palpate and find it but before he opened the front door with it, he slowly guided the key to his nose and inhaled deeply, eyes closed in concentration.

Only metal.

Elijah sighed, snapped his eyes back open again, and opened the door.

Of course, Elijah has his own key for the building, the key that remained here was a spare key. He didn't have to worry about someone unauthorized entering the small manor without permission since the building was spelled. Only a few people knew of this place and were granted access.

One of them was Katerina.

He had hoped that perhaps she would have found refuge here. She knew of the place and the key and she knew that it was currently vacant and would stay vacant for the time being. It was also somewhat reachable from Mystic Falls.

Elijah had hoped he would find signs that she had been here - or rather still be here. That's why he had decided to make this little visit. But there hadn't been any footprints in the gravel nor did the key smell of her.

The inside of the building was exactly like he had left it. Big white sheets covered and protected the furniture and again he noted that his caretaker made a good job as no cobwebs or dust caught his attention.

He wandered slowly through the rooms, his gaze sweeping attentively over every surface, over every detail. But nothing implied that Katerina had been here. He didn't see any evidence of her stay nor was he able to catch a hint of her scent.

When he had finished the tour, Elijah returned to his study and removed the sheets from the chair and his desk so that he could take a seat. His studies, no matter where, were always a place that granted him concentration and allowed him to focus. He closed his eyes to massage his eyeballs and then pinched the back of his nose, his attention focused on maintaining even breathing and not let frustration take over him.

He so had hoped that Katerina had decided to come here, to find shelter in this place. It wasn't the place he had seen in his vision but it would have been logical that she had come here. She would have had a safe place, a roof over her head. Water and electricity were also a given, only food wasn't available in this place.

Elijah leaned back in his chair. A slight groan left his lips as an extremely uneasy feeling swept through his veins, telling him that he was too late, that Katerina was already dead.

The way his muscles started to tense seemed to be a natural reaction these days. His hands clenched into fists and he couldn't deny the desire to punch something to let out his despair and frustration. Why hadn't Katerina come to this house? Why didn't she chose that building as her hiding spot?

Why? So many whys.

His knuckles cracked because of how tight his fists were but then he took in a deep breath and snapped his eyes open before he reached for his phone in the inside of his jacket. There are other options.

"Good Afternoon, George. I need to ask you for a favor...."

xxx

While Elijah waited for the callback, he walked to the window of his study and watched the peaceful surrounding. He tried to relax over the singing of the birds but he did not want to succeed. Instead, the Original was tempted to call Katerina's number again and hope that she would answer the call but he doubted the success of that idea. He had already tried to call her so many times...

Perhaps he's going insane, perhaps Albert Einstein is right with his definition: Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. By that definition, Elijah must be very insane, outright mad by now.

Growing tired of waiting and doing nothing, Elijah eventually helped himself to a glass of hard whiskey - and then another one. Thankfully the minibar was well equipped although the building had been vacant for some years by now. He always made sure all essentials were given at all times, just in case he needed to move in unexpectedly.

The more time passed, the more impatient he grew. His fingertips drummed nervously against the glass, the contact of the glass with his daylight ring giving off an annoying sound he couldn't bear. Nonetheless, he kept going, because he needed to do something. He needed to focus his mind on something -- even if it was that annoying clicking or the fact that it bothered him -- because otherwise he felt like he’d go insane.

Finally, his phone vibrated in his jacket.

"What have you found out, George?" Elijah asked impatiently without caring for a proper greeting.

"Well, Sir.... nothing. No sign of someone having spent time in your apartment in New York. I also consulted Riley in Richmond but there's also no sign of anyone having been there."

"Are you certain you checked every detail? Electricity and water consumption? Are there any leftovers in the fridge? Have the beds been used? Is the minibar complete?" Elijah asked promptly, his grip tightening around the glass because of the news that weren’t to Elijah’s liking.

"Yes, Sir. We've checked everything. There's no sign that anyone had been here. I'm sorry Sir."

The glass cracked in Elijah's hands, and the sharp edges cut through his skin, his blood mixed with the leftovers whiskey. He felt the pain as the glass shreds pierced through his palm but at the same time, Elijah felt nothing at all. Numbness swept through his vein mixed with a slight hint of anger. That kind of anger that wanted him to punch holes in the walls. He mumbled a quick thanks before he pulled out his handkerchief and absently cleaned his hand, his gaze rigid.

"Where are you hiding, Katerina?" he mumbled to himself.

Katerina also knew of his apartment in New York, another place she could have possibly went to. The brunette probably didn't know of the property in Richmond but since it's Katerina they were speaking of, it wouldn't surprise him if she did. She's an attentive listener, after all.

Perhaps it's delusional of him to assume she would have sought out a safe place if it's related to him. After all, she seemed to think he harbors an ill wish towards her. Nonetheless, her survival instinct is stronger than anything else, even stronger than her pride. She would have been safe there and she would have been undetected. His caretakers came regularly and he's sure Katerina is quick to find out the schedule to make sure she's well hidden if they were there to dust and look after things.

Again, those places weren't the town he had seen in his vision but they still seemed to be more logical than the apparent location of the vision in which he hasn't even seen her.

Elijah absently folded his used handkerchief and, although it was stained, placed it back inside of his jacket. Then, he simply stepped over the glass sheds and spilled whiskey to return to his car.

He'd call his caretaker to clean up the mess he has left.

▬ Somewhere in Alabama ▬

"You're meant to catch me." "But if I catch you, the game will be over."

Running and catching, hiding and seek. Somehow it had always come down to that game between Katerina and Elijah. She was the one who kept running and he was the one who kept searching. She would hide, he would seek.

Five-hundred years later they are still playing that game.

She's hiding and he's seeking. Only this time, he desperately wanted to find her, knowing that their time is slowly but surely running out. If he even has any time left....

But no. She is not dead. Katherine lives. She has to. She just has to...

Elijah rushed over the highways at maximum speed, his sportscar effortlessly changing lanes if it was necessary. Driving kept his mind clear, gave him something to focus which didn't result in an uneasiness that made him sick beyond repair.

And yet he caught his mind wandering off to Katerina again. He recalled 1492, her waving curls in the slight breeze and the incredible endearing expression on her features as she lectured him that he was supposed to catch her. She wasn't aware that he was indeed very capable of catching her if he wanted to. That he could catch her within seconds if necessary. But he enjoyed the game, enjoyed the ease of their interactions. Enjoyed feeling alive. She sparked life in him, something which he thought long lost ever since being turned into a vampire.

Back then, he didn't want to catch her. He wanted to delay the game, wanted to give himself the time to enjoy it just a bit longer. There was something about her view of life that made him feel human again. Innocent, as far as a child growing up under Mikael can be. To some degree, Katerina had granted him the feeling of being alive.

During those games, Elijah let her win. Again and again. And while doing so, he took in her victorious smile and happily confirmed her request to repeat their game sometime soon.

He never intended to catch her despite wanting to. He let her run. He let her escape. And she took the chance until she was gone and nowhere to be found again anymore.

He made a mistake back then. Had made a terrible mistake when Katerina escaped their castle walls in 1492. Admittedly, he had underestimated Trevor's feelings for the doppelgänger that caused him to betray Niklaus and him. His mistake was not only to not see it coming, he had also approached the difficult situation entirely false.

Niklaus held him accountable for Katerina's escape although he had no part in it. Of course, paranoid as his brother is, he didn't believe his words. Niklaus was furious, raging mad -- which was even an understatement. But while the news of Katerina's escape had concerned Elijah, he had hoped that perhaps Niklaus hadn't been looking properly. He assumed (and hoped) that perhaps Katerina was still on the compound.

Niklaus was the one who was officially courting Katerina and yet he neglected her most of the time the closer the next full moon came. What did he really know about her as a person?

Elijah on the other hand had watched Katerina often from afar, many times without her knowledge. He knew that she liked to visit the horses in the stables, sometimes even at the most unholy hours even though she wasn't supposed to leave the building at night. He didn't know the reason why sleep wouldn't find her but when she returned from the stables, she had a smile on her face.

Strangely enough, horses were something that seemed to connect Niklaus and Katerina. They both shared a fascination for the Arabians Niklaus kept in the stables, some of the firsts ever living in England during that time. A part of him had envied that connection, the possibility his brother had which he didn't have because Elijah always had been aware that she's not supposed to be his. That she can never be his. And yet he took pleasure in knowing that Niklaus would never know Katerina the way he did simply because his brother didn't pay enough attention to her. He knew of her favorite flowers, knew that she liked to watch the sunsets on the hill next to their castle. He knew that Katerina loved the rose gardens and the small maze. He knew of all her favorite places.

But Katerina hadn't been in the stables, in the gardens, or in her quarters. She was nowhere to be found, despite the entire staff looking for her. Until he'd caught her scent which led outside the compound into the woods...

And he had been furious.

He had been furious with Katerina. Because she ran. Because she didn't trust him. Because he was furious with himself. He was furious that Niklaus was right, that feelings had made him weak and foolish - careless even. That he had let Katerina get too close to him. That she managed to do the impossible and hurt him with her actions. That she had managed to stir a feeling inside of him which he had long thought to have lost. He was furious because he wanted to protect her but by running, she made it impossible for him to fulfill his pursuit. He was furious because he hadn't been ready to lose her just yet. He was furious because of Niklaus who declared him a liar and accused him of betrayal. He was furious about the entire situation. He was furious because he knew what was at stake. For him, for Niklaus, for his family. But also for Katerina.

But despite being furious with Katerina, he couldn't imagine a world without her. He couldn't accept her death. Never had and never will.

Part of the reason why a few days after meeting and getting to know her, his witches had created a vial that would have allowed Katerina to survive the sacrifice. He knew, even though he greatly disapproved of the idea of hurting her, that the sacrifice needed to be done. He knew that his brother needed to break the curse placed on him by their mother to grant him peace so he might find happiness someday. He knew that her fate has been sealed the moment Niklaus had laid his eyes on her. He knew that running or hiding her would be useless. However, Elijah hadn't been ready to sacrifice Katerina for that plan.

Without Niklaus' knowledge, he had worked out an entire plan to ensure Katerina's safety. That he would compel her beforehand. That she won't be scared or feel any pain. That she will forget about the traumatizing event. That she'll go on with her life after she wakes up. That she'll forget about them. He had already found a village far away from them with people who could have taken care of her.

He would have let his Katerina go to ensure she lives a life in peace. In a world without monsters. He wanted her to be free and happy.

But she chose to run, sealing her fate.

Elijah still remembers his last thoughts before Niklaus' dagger let him lose consciousness after he lost the fight against his younger brother when he returned home with no doppelgänger.

That next time, if he ever gets the chance to see his Katerina again, he'll protect her. And that, if she ever were to trust him again, although he highly doubted it back then, he won't disappoint her.

In hindsight, he was only halfway successful.

Many people, Katerina included, thought he intended to torture her when he compelled her to stay in the tomb. And while the choice of the setting had served as punishment for running, his main intention was to protect her. He knew she'd be safe in that tomb. And she would have been if she hadn't taken matters into her own hands again.

It was to protect her.

And he also did protect her by leaving her a few months ago.

Leaving her had nothing to do with not loving her anymore. Niklaus obvious ill wishes toward her, however, had made it perfectly clear that she's not safe with him anymore.

He just wished he would have said more.

Explained more.

Katerina had poured her heart out to him and all he was able to do was saying goodbye and leave?

He regretted it.

He regretted having not been strong enough to stay for a few moments longer. Because he knew ... he knew that if he stayed even a second longer, he wouldn't be able to do what has been necessary during that time.

Katerina's speech of wanting to be with him had hit him unexpectedly. Yes, he came to say goodbye, but he hadn't expected that after ending their search for the cure, Katerina would still choose him, still wanted to be with him without getting or wanting anything in return. During that moment he had seen how pure her love for him has been. That she truly loved him. That she chose him.

No one chooses him. Elijah himself wouldn't choose Elijah. But Katerina did. She had chosen him and declared her love for him.

How many people truly loved him? Sometimes he's not even sure if his siblings truly loved him or if it was a mere need to have control over him or rely on his mediation skills to keep their family from breaking apart. And yet he'd go to enormous length to protect those with whom he was related by blood without ever getting anything in return. No, on the contrary, they destroy and threaten everything he holds dear.

Rebekah only attacked with words but Niklaus very well turns words into actions. Something Elijah took seriously. Something that forced him to go away and leave the person that truly loved him behind.

It was a decision he had made for her sake but her declaration of loving him, of wanting to be with him, only had made it harder to let go. Again. It had broken him to know that Katerina wanted him, Elijah, and yet not being able to engage in it.

It had been so difficult, so incredibly difficult, to withdraw from her, to leave. He couldn't ... he couldn't allow himself to process the deep meaning of her words. He couldn't find the strength within him to assure her that he loves her too for he knew that he won't be able to leave if he did.

But he had assumed Katerina would know.

He wasn't aware of how she'd take it. Elijah had assumed she must know what she meant to him. That he intended to come back to her after Niklaus had calmed himself. And he was absolutely certain that that is going to happen.

Katerina had found something which could be compared to a Millennium-Opportunity. A once in a lifetime chance. Something not even he was able to find or give Niklaus.

Elijah would have found his way back to her. Perhaps even sooner than expected if he'd do small steps.

Then why hasn't he told her? Why hasn't he told her that it's no goodbye forever? Why had he assumed she would know? Why ... why ... why?

▬ Somewhere in South Carolina ▬

The warning sound of his car tore him away from his thoughts and only then he realized how tightly he grabbed the wheel. He loosened his grip and exhaled before he took a look at the cockpit.

The tank is running low.

He took the next exit off the highway (he had to leave the highway anyway) and drove through lonely woods until he reached the next gas station.

It was small and pretty run-down and when he opened the door, he almost stepped into a dirty puddle mixed with petrol. Elijah wrinkled his nose but didn't waste any time. It was the first time since hours that he had gotten out of the car and back then it was just to fill up the tank. He'd enjoy the fresh air but the intense smell of petrol stung his nose.

While refueled his car, Elijah let his gaze wander through the feral landscape. It clearly was no visit-worthy area. A likewise run-down motel was attached to the gas station and he wondered what kind of people usually slept there and even wanted to pay money for it.

Once the tank was full again, Elijah approached the checkout, paying attention that he won't step in any of the countless other puddles.

"Good afternoon. I want to pay please," Elijah said casually although he knew his present had caused attention. He could tell by the way the man behind the checkout eyed him as well as the Porsche. Clearly his suit alone coasts many times more than his entire stock although that wasn't hard to tell. Half of the chocolate bars are already expired and he didn't want to watch the donuts any closer either.

The cashier was typing something in and the machine needed an awfully a lot of time to proceed with the action.

"It's rare to see such a car. It's a sportscar, right? Ferrari?" the young cashier started with the small talk which only unnerved Elijah more. He wanted to leave that disgusting location as soon as possible.

"It's a Porsche, actually" Elijah replied absently and took out his wallet from inside his suit jacket before the cashier could tell him how much he owed him.

"Oh, that's probably almost the same. It's rare to see such cars in this area. Most people don't have that much money. $ 86,55 please"

Without batting an eyelash, Elijah took out a hundred dollar note and gave it to the cashier, hoping their one-sided conversation is ended.

"That's all right, keep the change."

He turned around to leave when the men's voice broke the silence.

"Thank you so much, Sir. You won't believe how rare it is to get some kind of tip. You wouldn't believe what kind of people come in here every day...."

Elijah tried to blend out the man's monologue but something caught his attention just before he was about to leave the room.

"... young girls think they'll get anything for free if they bat their eyelashes. She really wanted to tell me she has no money despite the silver bracelet around her wrist she didn't want to trade in..."

Elijah immediately stopped in his tracks and returned to the counter with quick calculated steps.

"That girl you're talking about..." Elijah started, trying to keep his voice even, "what did she look like?"

The older man appeared to be confused by his sudden interest, but after a short moment, he finally started to spill his knowledge.

"Hard to describe. Slim figure, brown hair. She looked like a runaway. Quite beautiful but pretty worn down. But one could tell she used to have money. And I bet that bracelet was worth at least one or two hundred dollars." The man paused his speech and took in a deep breath, anger reddening his cheeks.

"Typically spoiled brat if you ask me; wanted to get me into letting her sleep in my motel without paying a penny. She had like two dollars and bought as many cereal bars as she could get but that won't buy her a ticket to a room."

Elijah's jaw tensed as he reached into the inside of his suit jacket again and pulled out his wallet just to show the man a picture of Katerina.

"Is that the girl you've seen?" he asked almost impatiently, his scrutinizing gaze fixed upon the human.

The man leaned in closer and glanced at the picture before he whistled.

"God damn, she used to look pretty. You know her?"

Elijah narrowed his eyes as he continued to look in the man's face. His eyes mirrored something he didn't approve of.

"Tell me, when did you see her? And what did she do?" Elijah compelled him, not being in the mood for another misplaced remarks. With satisfaction he observed the human's dilating pupils before the words spilled out of his mouth.

"Three weeks, maybe four weeks ago. She came in buying those cereal bars before asking if it's possible to stay for a night because it's already dark outside. She didn't come in a car, must have walked the entire way to here. I told her it's 50 Dollars and she said she doesn't have more money so I offered her a trade. Her bracelet for 90 Dollars. She refused. I told her that there's another way...." he looked down at his crotch and that was the moment Elijah snapped.

His hand rocked forward to grab the cashier's collar, pulling him over the counter. The need to do unspeakable things towards that man, to chop his head off his shoulders was so strong, so incredibly strong. He had to gather every inch of strength he had in his body to not end his unnecessary existence.

"Are you telling me that you have asked her for sexual services? A girl who clearly needed help?" Elijah's voice is a growl, his entire body tensed with anger as he compelled the truth out of the human while trying to hold back.

"Y-Yes. B-but she refused. Please. I didn't touch her. I-I swear. She left the gas station with her cereal bars," the male studdered but it wasn't enough to calm Elijah's anger.

In a flash, Elijah had moved them to the next wall, his hand now grabbed tightly around the throat of the cashier who was pressed against the wall. He was struggling for air but Elijah showed no mercy and kept his firm grip.

"You listen very carefully now. Don't ever dare to touch her or fantasize about her again or I swear your miserable existence is the last thing you need to worry about. Get that girl out of your disgusting mind and don't ever dare to assault a girl in need like that again." his tone was low but deeply threatening, the expression in his eyes deadly as he compelled him, forcing him to comply.

"Next time, you'll be dead" with that he let go of the human whose head already turned blue before Elijah stormed out of the gas station and into his car. Before he really did kill him. That wouldn't be beneficial for his search for Katerina.

And the universe knew that the only reason why he hadn't killed that human for his disgusting behavior has been Katerina. Because Elijah didn't know where she was and didn't want to scare her if rumors of someone's head being chopped off appeared. Katerina had always been a very careful and attentive person but she's also a paranoid woman who tried to detect dangers as early as possible. Such news could scare her and make her run, possibly making the situation even worse.

The anger was still evident in his eyes, even in the way he put in the gear (he almost tore it off).

Worrying about the fact he might come too late appeared to be shallow. So incredible shallow. Especially after learning that Katerina didn't have any money. That she had to beg for food or a place to stay. That she was running for miles alone on a street which was barely used.

There are some things that seemed to be worse than death, especially considering that perhaps Katerina had to sell herself for food and shelter. How long until she had to rely on that? Until someone took not only advantage of her but also of her body?

Elijah is no fool, he's aware that Katerina has always had a very healthy setting and relationship regarding sex. He also knew that she had been very sexually active in the past. However, and that's the turning point, until now, Katerina had always a choice. She did it for fun. She did it because she wanted to do it. Without any outside pressure. Not because she had to suffer hunger or sleep on the streets if she didn't do it.

A loud growl escaped his lips and he lashed out on his steering wheel before he took in a deep breath. He had to find her.

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

A/N: I really hope you enjoyed the chapter. The next chapter is going to give more insights of what has happened in 1492 and why Elijah didn’t kill that guy. Do you have any suggestions? Feel free to let me know but remember to stay kind ♥

Hey there! It's me, here to drop a request for whenever you feel up to it! ^v^

Okay so, could I have headcanons of Hikaru and Kaoru[OHSHC] Dabi and Bakugou[BNHA] Norway and America[Hetalia] with a S/O|Crush who has Hypersomnia?

[Hypersomnia is basically something that makes you very tired and sleepy all the time. They can sleep for over 12 hours and still be tired, they can sleep 8 hours and still be tired. Their also easier stressed. Just to put it in easy words.]

Hikaru

• It all started one day when the club had already closed

• He noticed you had fallen asleep

• "Hey, wake up"

• He didn't seem to be able to wake you up

• Naturally it was Kyoya who explained the situation

• He thought about making another attempt to wake you but Tamaki insisted in letting you rest a bit more

• At first he didn't seem to care but

• Your face was beautiful and your current state allowed him to admire you a bit more

• When you woke he wasn't there anymore but on the table in front of you was a cup of coffee with some cookies along with a note

• "Hope you rested well"

• This happened many times

• But each time you woke up

• He was gone

• And you had no idea who it had been

• Til one day you asked for his services

• "Have you been sleeping well?"

• That raised a flag

Kaoru

• The poor guy almost died

• Your breath had stopped for some seconds

• "(Y/N)? (Y/N)?! Are you alright?! Wake up!"

• That was followed by a big snore

• He started noticing this happened more frequently than he thought.

• When he confronted you about it.

• He quickly asked what he could do for you

• "Are you tired?"

• "Want me to drive?"

• You can bet anything, this guy made his research as soon as he got home

• "We should make you a sleeping schedule"

• Kaoru is attentive of course

Dabi

• He probably doesn't even know you have hipersomnia

• But he knows you got something

• He doesn't wake you up

• He let's you sleep as much as you want

• Unless you've slept too much

• "Hey sleeping beauty, hate to break it to you but I might have to kiss you now"

• "Oh I can rock you to sleep alright baby"

• That smooth man

• Besides all flirting

• He's a surprisingly great caretaker

• Shigaraki once saw him cuddling you

• "Keep walking bitch"

• Shigaraki has never been more confused in his entire life

Bakugo

•He noticed you were getting sleepy during the trainings

•"The hell are you doing dumbass?"

•He didn't need you to tell him anything

•The boy is smart

•But he won't really let you sleep every time you want to

Single Dad Present Mic scenario/headcanons

Gave him a daughter in this one! I named her Kaya because I got bored using “the child” or “his daughter” the whole time lol. #Kaya In The Skya

warnings: angst, loss of a spouse (no gender), eventual EraserMic, fluff because my boy deserves it, and kinda long!

🎙Present Mic would have loved his S/O so much for years and years and years if he was given the chance. They would probably be a hero too, but he's the kind of guy who would love just about anyone. Hero, civilian, quirk, quirkless, Mic believes in love above all else.

🎙But Mic is around heroes so much, he'd probably meet his S/O in the line of duty. They would hit it off quick and everyone would remember the two for having such an easy and passionate love for one another from the beginning.

🎙They were that couple that moved in with each other after only a few months dating, got engaged after six months, and married a year after meeting each other. They would adopt their daughter not long after that.

🎙Everything moved so naturally fast for them and Hizashi would thank his lucky stars for that later on.

🎙He would remember how normal the day had been when he found out he lost his spouse. They died as many heroes do; saving others. The news came to him after a long day of teaching followed by a visit to the radio station to plan an upcoming segment before going home to take over babysitting for his S/O. The tradeoff was short and Hizashi was barely awake when he kissed them goodbye for the night. He would rest and watch over the mostly sleeping 4-year-old, Kaya, while they went out for a patrol through their hero agency.

He would get the call in the early hours of the morning. He needed to go to the hospital quickly. It was bad. He didn’t want to bring Kaya, so he called the first person he thought of.

Shouta had been awake grading papers and almost didn’t answer his phone. It was the perfect time for Hizashi to need help home from the bar and he didn’t know if have the energy for that tonight. But he did answer. Like he always does. He knew immediately by the mere tone of his friend’s voice that something terrible was wrong. Hizashi sounded terrified and he needed Aizawa to watch his daughter for him. He had to go to the hospital. Hizashi didn’t have to explain much after that statement. It was every hero’s nightmare to have a loved one beyond their realm of saving, but unfortunately a common thing in their line of business. Aizawa agreed and Mic was at his apartment in no time and gone again in a flash. Shouta's goddaughter slept soundly through it all.

🎙Hizashi loss that night would destroy him. He’d need a lot of support from his friends and coworkers in the weeks following the incident.

🎙It was one of the few times anyone could really remember Hizashi going silent. He is usually so vocal about his feelings, but in this time of great emotion, words failed him.

When he could speak again, when he could function again, he found himself emotionlessly arranging the funeral and taking care of all the duties one must take care of when they lose a spouse. He took care of his daughter too, but it was done more upon instinct than anything really conscious. A hero’s funeral is one of the worst to deal with. It’s hard to deal with the rampage of emotions being projected onto you. You should honor the hero for their sacrifice, but you must deal with the fact that it was such an avoidable death. The media can swarm depending on the popularity of the hero. Present Mic got it bad. The couple had been very open about their marriage and always in the public eye, and the story of a hero becoming a widowed father was not one to pass up. Hizashi barely batted an eye at the attention. In fact, he barely reacted at all. How could he when he just lost everything? Nemuri and Aizawa stayed with him that night. Surprisingly, it was Aizawa who confronted him about his lack of emotion after the funeral. In a weird, alternate-dimension-type moment, it was Eraser’s turn for once to break Mic out of his shell.

“You know, it’s illogical to not feel something after this Yamada.“

Hizashi broke down and admitted he was hurting to his friends. He was terrified at raising Kaya alone. He was afraid of going back to work and having to deal with others again. His friends helped him through it all.

Nemuri and Aizawa took shifts being with Hizashi and helping him take care of Kaya after that. Aizawa took his role as a Godfather seriously. He had accepted years ago that he would never have children. This would be the closest he’d ever come to being a parent and a small part of him wanted to prove that he could be good at that.

Kaya was old enough to recognize the change in the household and had some trouble accepting her caretaker wasn’t retuning. Hizashi and her both attended therapy to get through this new shift in their life.

🎙 Hizashi took some time off, but went back to work quicker than most expected. Mic thrives when he’s with others and knew the only way he was going to find some semblance of normality again was by getting out there and talking again.

The main difference now was that he usually had his favorite listener with him. UA has an early education center and Kaya started coming to work with him. They would show up early everyday and Kaya would usually stick with Mic until he had to drop her off and go teach his classes. This meant she was a familiar face in the teacher’s lounge.

🎙Kaya liked to color during staff meetings. She liked to bring cookies for all the teachers. She would sometimes be tired in the earlier mornings and sleep in Aizawa's sleeping bag while everyone worked and planned for the day.

🎙She hung around Aizawa all the time. She was enamored with the quiet, dark-haired man who would take care of her and teach her things. She would sometimes nap with Eraser or be allowed to visit his class with her dad. She loved getting to see him and it became obvious to everyone that she saw him as a parent as much as she did her own father.

🎙One day Kaya woke up sick. She had a fever and Hizashi has to drag her through their morning routine as she feels so tired. Hizashi told her they would go see Recovery Girl when they got to school.

🎙Aizawa knew something was wrong the moment Hizashi walked into the teacher’s lounge.

Mic hadn’t gelled up his hair that morning. He only ever did that when either he was sick or Kaya was sick. Mic could never be bothered to do extra work like style his hair when he was sick. And when Kaya was under the weather, she liked to hide behind his curtain of hair.

“What’s wrong?”

The other teachers looked up in surprise at Aizawa’s question and Mic smiled at his coworkers.

“Kaya is feeling a little under the weather today.”

He went over to his work desk and carefully sat down with the child. Shouta reached over to check her temperature and found her too warm for comfort. Kaya had fallen asleep and blinked lazily at Aizawa before yawning and snuggling back into her father.

"Recovery girl will be in soon. Maybe we should go down to her office and wait for her," said Aizawa.

Hizashi would smile at his friend and thank his lucky stars he had someone like Eraser in his life who cared so much for his daughter.

🎙Aizawa was around a lot, but happened to miss the first time Kaya used her quirk.

Teleportation.

Hizashi and Kaya had been walking back from visiting Aizawa's class and one moment his daughter was there, the next she was gone.

It scared the living daylights out of Hizashi. He had an inkling it had to do with her quirk as Kaya's preschool teacher had warned him she was at the right age to start any day now. However, nothing could have prepared him.

He raced back to the training grounds to get Aizawa and burst in on his lesson to announce Kaya's disappearance. He had already been shouting from a good distance away and it wasn't until he was almost directly upon Aizawa did he realize his friend was already holding his daughter.

Aizawa stood there stoic as ever as the four-year-old beamed at her father, so excited to see him.

Hizashi dramatically fell over in relief and the students got in a quick laugh before Eraser shooed them off.

"You should keep better track of your daughter, Yamada."

Hizashi laughed, "Yeah, I guess I really should now."

🎙Kaya's quirk was hard to control. She would think about Aizawa or Midnight or someone else she liked being around and would often (without intention) teleport to their side.

One time she spent an afternoon with Principal Nedzu this way. She adored the fluffy, white creature and hung onto every word he said during his long, drawn out conversations. He was unbothered by her sudden appearance in his office and kept her around to give her some pointers about her quirk as apposed to sending her back to the preschool. He would prove to teach Kaya all kinds of things about her quirk and the potential behind it.

Another time she popped in on Toshinori as he was teaching class 1-A. They were in the middle of a training simulation and Toshi had to jump into action to save her from the crossfire between his students. He hadn't moved that quick in weeks and held his All Might form for a good 30 seconds after rescuing the girl as he had gotten terriblly worked up thinking about how much she could have hurt herself. His students stopped their antics to find out what had suddenly brought All Might's hero form out and sent someone to let Present Mic know Kaya was on the training grounds.

🎙Kaya had to wear a special bracelet to alert others of her quirk and had her father's agency's phone number on it for emergencies or in case she teleported somewhere and got lost.

🎙Kaya would learn to better control her teleportation quirk faster than most kids as she had some of the best teachers in the world giving her tips and watching over her.

🎙Aizawa was a big help. He rarely had to erase Kaya's quirk, but it did come in handy on the occasions Kaya couldn't concentrate enough to stay in one place.

🎙Kaya spent all her time with the teachers of UA. They all took it upon themselves to teach her valuable lessons and give her memorable experiences.

🎙People would ask Hizashi if he would ever start dating again, but he would just tell people he already had everything he needed.

He had his daughter and an amazing support system behind him. He was happy.

It wasn't until USJ that he remembered how quick happiness can be taken away.

🎙It felt like losing his spouse all over again. He almost lost Shouta. The one person he can rely on no matter what.

It reminds him that there's no time like the present to live your life and take chances.

🎙He confesses in that hospital room. In a moment of quiet tenderness he tells Shouta he's in love with him and he wants him to move in with him and Kaya. This life could end at any moment, so he wanted Aizawa close to cherish every bit of it.

Aizawa was going to need the extra help anyway, but that's not why he agrees.

He loved Hizashi too.

🎙And together they raise Kaya. And Eri. And Shinsou.

And they both get the big family they always wanted.

And they both enjoy every last day with eachother.
