Romantic stolas headcanons?
Now that I've SEEN Apology Tour, I have IDEAS. Some of said ideas were discussed with @okchijt after we watched the episode together. Plus it was their idea to add the Octavia section :)
❗️Spoilers for Helluva Boss: Apology Tour❗️
Yandere! Stolas Concept
Pairing: Romantic
Possible Trigger Warnings: Gender-Neutral Darling, Obsession, Angst, Paranoia, Mature themes (Multiple mentions of intimacy and intercourse), Rebounding, Fear of abandonment, Stalking, Clingy behavior, Drinking, Dark themes, Toxic relationships, Imprisonment, Manipulation, Jealousy, Possessive behavior, Violence, Consensual turned forced relationship.
I'd imagine any of this would occur after his breakup with Blitzø.
Stolas is a lonely prince, one who doesn't have many friends and only ever loved Blitz for most of his life.
So imagine if he met you at Verosika's party during Apology Tour?
For the sake of this concept, maybe you were also hurt by Blitzø at some point.
You pity the prince, watching as he drowns himself in alcohol.
Soon you manage to make your way to him... seeing him an absolute mess on the couch.
Stolas is nervous to talk at first due to how isolated he is.
However, as you sit next to him on the couch, you allow him a shoulder to cry on.
Stolas takes some comfort in speaking with you.
You've been hurt by Blitz in the past... but you seem over it.
Honestly, Stolas just wants someone to talk and vent to since he has no one else.
Stolas just expected you to leave after your chat.
Instead... you put your hand on his shoulder... even if you were shorter than him.
"Wanna dance? Might take your mind off it. It's probably the best for both of us."
Stolas feels his cheeks flush when you make the offer.
He's flattered... taking your hand and following you to the dance floor.
Stolas wasn't expecting it... but spending time with you really was helping.
Dancing with you is exciting... It really did help him forget Blitz for a bit.
Then you kiss him... and his mind goes blank.
Afterwards, Stolas gives in to your advances.
By the end of the night you two are in bed and Stolas barely remembers Blitz due to all the alcohol and pleasure.
Stolas was so used to Blitz being rough in bed.
Yet with you? He... He didn't feel that.
You were soft, caring, you let him guide you both.
The intimacy between you two felt... healing.
It was enough to soothe his conflicted heart, even if you two were drunk fools.
But by the end of it all... Stolas couldn't help but feel loved when he saw you curled up.
Yes... Yes, this was what he needed.
Stolas hates it when you two eventually part.
He knows afterwards he has to come home to a messy divorce... and he'll just be reminded of Blitz...
Yet, when he goes home, he's comforted by how he felt with you.
That night you cared for him... you showed him love...!
Now... he can't help but crave it.
He originally tries to ignore his urges.
It was just one night... there's no way you'd want to do it again...
Yet Stolas can't help but look for you...
Once he finds you, he can't help but ask you for another round of your soothing touch.
He doesn't expect you to say yes...
But you do! Leading to you and him having an arrangement.
Essentially, you become his coping mechanism.
Stolas is ironically similar to Blitzø as a yandere.
He hates being alone and would first see his obsession as something similar to a rebound.
Your "relationship" with one another is very similar to what he's used to.
Intimacy. He views intimacy with you as a way to soothe his heart.
He knows intimacy with you isn't the same as it is with Blitzø.
Stolas doesn't even force it, you willingly offer to soothe his heart.
Your bond and his obsession starts as a way to cope.
But over time... Stolas realizes he really does love you.
Your relationship would actually start mostly healthy.
At first it's just intimacy to help Stolas cope.
Although... either you or Stolas would bring up the idea of actually... dating.
Stolas craves romance, just like the romantic films he watches.
He's overjoyed when you admit you want to give things a try.
Stolas is a yandere that's subtle, you wouldn't notice his red flags until later.
Stolas, like Blitz, struggles with relationships.
He's seen them in romantic films, yet is nervous.
Stolas fears he's reading you wrong, not wanting to repeat any of the mistakes he did with Blitz.
He's picking up on the right signs... right?
You really do love him, don't you?
I imagine Stolas would be insecure, even if your actions do show genuine love.
Stolas would fantasize about your relationship being similar to the shows he watches
He asks you to take him on little dates, to take long walks with him, to cuddle him....
Stolas comes off as corny because of the stuff he watches.
Between you and him... it isn't just about the intercourse.
You two start with a genuine connection, even if Stolas is rebounding.
Things only sour due to his growing obsession
Stolas is addicted to you...
He can't get enough of your kisses, your touch, and your words.
He feels so submissive and loved with you...
He never wants to let that go.
Stolas is scared of being left alone and losing what he has with you.
Ironically, that paranoia is what makes you distance yourself.
Stolas gets uneasy at the thought of you being with someone else.
The prince doesn't ever want to leave you, even after nights together he curls around you tighter.
Seeing you leave pains him... even if he knows you'll be back.
Stolas is sometimes insistent he at least follows you to a group hang out.
You try to decline, feeling Stolas would draw in too much attention as a prince.
Yet he always gives you such pleading eyes.
You end up often allowing him to tag along, the prince looking ecstatic that you're letting him come along.
Even if you said no, he pretends to go along with it...
Only for him to follow you around from a distance.
Stolas is definitely clingy.
He drags you to watch shows with him, he follows wherever you go...
He's so worried for you.
Stolas gets jealous, but he isn't as bad as most.
He tries hard to hide it.
He's stoic, watching with a silent glare as you mingle with your friends.
Once you're alone though he's clingy, often nipping (pecking?) at your skin in an attempt to gain your attention.
His lack of boundaries is what makes you begin to reconsider your relationship.
You love him, you really do...
But he is so scared to leave your side.
His possessive behavior is no doubt due to this fear.
Yet at the same time he tries to correct himself, wanting you to not seem overwhelmed.
The prince can only take so much, however....
He knows you love him, yet he still feels selfish.
He wants you to be just with him.
He wants you to rely on him.
Seeing you with others or being independent makes him fear you won't need him.
Stolas is a protective and clingy boyfriend.
For the most part he's submissive with you.
Although, Stolas has moments where he's stern.
I'm talking about times where he's overprotective and jealous.
Stolas doesn't want you hurt, in fact he's strong enough to protect you if you just let him.
However, these protective instincts he has and his jealousy...?
It drives you away from him.
Once you notice what you've gotten yourself into, you try to ask for space.
Something Stolas dreads.
When you ask for space, he immediately panics.
Wait! He can be better!
Please don't leave him... he's addicted to you.
You aren't supposed to leave him...!
Imagine if Stolas was so scared of losing you that he ends up trapping you.
He calls you to his home for one last night of intimacy, just between you before you have a break...
Then he traps you as though you're some royal pet.
Stolas doesn't want to be hurt again.
You helped him move on from Blitz... you showed him romance...!
What about all of your dates? Your little hangouts? Your intimacy?
Does it mean nothing?
No... No, that's not true.
You do love him...!
He'll show you he loves you... that you love him...!
It will all be okay... even with you trapped in his home he can still be romantic with you...!
He'll protect you, he'll prepare little inside dates, you can stay in his room...
Everything will be perfect...!
You can clearly tell that you wanting to leave him breaks the prince.
He loves you too much to let you go....
You're meant to be perfect...!
You're meant to be romantic together...!
Nothing will ruin this little fairytale fantasy you both have together...
Not even you.
🦉-Bonus -> Darling, Stolas, and Octavia-🦉
In terms of how Octavia would act towards you dating her dad, at first she feels disdain.
She thinks you'll also leave and doesn't try to be attached.
However... you most likely don't force any interactions with her.
She's going through enough with the divorce between her dad and mom.
So you merely offer help when she needs it and give her space.
As your relationship progresses, Stolas may try to encourage Octavia and you to have a parental bond.
Octavia no doubt ignores the idea at first....
If she wants a bond with you, she'll make a bond with you.
Due to you being considerate of her wishes and not forcing yourself into her life, Octavia may actually warm up to you.
It starts small... you and Octavia doing small things together.
Things like shopping, small chat, cooking...
Or even something simple like sending memes to each other.
It's all small and allows you two to form a genuine bond.
She isn't even yandere, she probably doesn't even know her dad is.
In fact, speaking of Stolas, he loves you two getting along.
He really does want a normal family, so seeing you all get along makes him want to keep you by his side more.
Keeping you is no longer just about Stolas... it's also for Octavia.
Stolas loves how happy you make his daughter.
She's always so happy around you, often asking Stolas when she'll see you again.
She even spends more time with Stolas now... it makes him so happy.
You three are so happy as a family...
Surely you will tolerate his behavior for her, no?
He won't let you leave him... not if Octavia is this happy now...!
