#strohl x reader

[lovehotelreservation]

When you're kidnapped by your estranged and very toxic religious family and promised to be Wed to a corrupt sanctist Noble obsessed with purity, what's the best way to cancel the wedding and finally cut your toxic lineage behind? your ever reliable friend and beloved Strohl has an idea to get that disownment and annulment speed run going .(Alter sex. Mating press in a church, caught by priest and fiance)

There were so many eyes on you.

The horrified ones of the priest, wondering the hellish depths of scandal this would plummet the church into.

The angered ones of your fiancé, furious that his property was being vandalized yet much too hesitant to even try and put a stop to matters.

The passive ones of God himself, silently spectating from above.

But the only pair of eyes that mattered most to you, who captivated, held, and possessed your attention were the impassioned grey ones currently gazing directly into yours.

You were most familiar and most comforted by those eyes, how they would flash defiantly in face of any foe regardless of strength or status, how they would soften as he reminisced about Halia and his parents.

So rebellious yet so tender--the qualities that defined Leon Strohl da Haliaetus for you.

As his hand delicately cupped your cheek while bringing his lips to yours for the sweetest of kisses, by contrast his hips continued to pummel against yours, the obscene and sticky wet noises of sweat-slicked skin meeting skin defiling the hallowed halls of St. Fermis Church.

Though from Strohl's point of view, what reason was there to maintain respect for an institution that encouraged, protected, and even rewarded selfishly nefarious scum such as your fiancé, who viewed your maidenhood as a prize to be collected?

The mere idea infuriated him the moment that your engagement was announced.

His teeth grit together as he suddenly felt compelled to drive his cock into you even harder, his balls smacking against your ass in heavy slaps as he was compelled to flood your core yet again with his release, the ground of the altar already desecrated with a growing pool of his seed.

He could hear the stumble of the priest as he was suddenly shoved away by your fiancé, who stormed off while raving about how he would see both you and Strohl ruined for your disrespect. Though, by the stammer of his voice, he wondered if he happened to catch a glimpse of the daunting aura of his Archetype.

Not that it mattered to him anyhow.

Not while what he cherished most in the entirety of this world was finally in his arms.

Hearing the soft and sweet mewl of his name from below, Strohl groaned as he wrapped his arms around your body, hugging you close with the intention of never letting you go. With his lips seeking out your neck, he breathlessly affirmed,

"As I swear and as I promise: not to any man, not to any god, you are mine and I am yours."

[khys-treasure-box]

AN: I know I don't have Metaphor on my fandom list or anything yet, but GOOD GOD I needed to yap about Strohl so bad. I was on the verge of internally combusting before I started writing this, I swear it. I need to talk about this man. He's completely taken over my brain. No thoughts, just Strohl. Also, I am so sorry that this is somehow my longest post. Apparently being horny on main is my secret to writing more. :') /hj

CW: Just some good ol' hornyposting with Strohl! That being said, MDNI is not a suggestion, it is a requirement. <3 If I catch any of you kiddos in my notifications, you will be blocked on sight!

Reader is Fem/AFAB, but not given any pronouns. There's a little bit of purely fluffy stuff at the beginning that transitions into the horny stuff. I'll be honest, I'm keeping this fairly tasteful since this is my first time writing anything smutty on here and I gotta find my flow before I start writing crazy style, so just don't go in expecting it to be super graphic description-wise. As far as any other need to knows here, Strohl kinda has a breeding kink but he doesn't understand it as such, description of edging without the use of the word itself, and cum is explicitly said exactly once.

I know in my heart that Strohl would be a wonderful partner. Definitely the classic chivalrous type; always opens the door for you, pulls your chair out for you, and will treat you with hardly a second thought. Anything he could do that would make you happy, he would find a way to do it. He loves you so dearly and earnestly that it probably makes other people around you two atleast a tad envious.

That all being said, I also know in my heart that he's just as lovely in bed. When I tell you he is an absolute sweetheart about every single part of the process, I mean it. From getting undressed to cleaning up afterwards, he's an absolute angel with you. His first priority, above all else, is always that you feel reassured and comfortable, so he's sure to shower you in kisses and compliments through it all. The way he runs his hands along your skin is almost reverent in nature; it's like he's touching the most valuable thing in the entire world.

He doesn't just simply have sex with you either, he makes love to you. Every single time. You can't ever do quickies for the sole reason that he just can't stand the thought of not being able to give himself, body and soul, completely to you. Fast and hard just isn't really something he does. He will, however, go deep. Not a single thrust from him is ever shallow or halfhearted because there is nothing that satisfies him more than feeling you in your entirety. Well, nothing other than your pleasure. Knowing you feel good and that it's because of him is beyond intoxicating to Strohl.

Oh, and please do call him Leon. He already adores it when you call him by first name in general, but hearing it while you're in the throes of pleasure is equally delightful. He's so used to everyone else calling him Strohl that hearing you call him Leon is an almost dizzying reminder that you and him share a relationship that he has with no one else. There is no one else that makes him feel this way, just as there is no one else that can make you feel this way. He, Leon Strohl da Haliaetus, is the sole reason for your state of bliss.

In fact, he places so much value on your pleasure that he will actively deny himself the ability to finish until he knows you have. To him, it simply wouldn't feel as good if he did it before you. The feeling he gets from you squirming and squeezing him as you tip over that metaphorical edge is just... unmatched. If he's going to cum, it has to be because of that.

Speaking of which, he thinks it to be a bit shameful, but he honestly finds the idea of burying himself to the hilt and filling you with his release rather exciting. Of course, he wouldn't dare do such a thing without your permission, it would be risky to do so, but that certainly doesn't stop him from thinking about it. Sometimes, it doesn't stop him from asking if, just this time, he could please do it inside. He knows it risks the two of you ending up with a child, but gods above, his craving for this is strong. The pure ecstasy that would come from your warmth wrapped around him as he lets all that pent-up arousal finally come out is so tempting. The thought of how you'd look after, the vivid mental image he has of you dripping with a mix of your combined fluids after he pulls out, doesn't do his desperation any favors either.

Sure, he may end up being a father a tad earlier than planned if you let him do it, but it would be worth it, wouldn't it?

(Whether or not this fixation of his, somewhere deep down, has anything to do with his aspirations to rebuild Halia, and by extension, his noble house, is your guess. He honestly more than likely couldn't give you a solid answer even if you asked.)

The way he cares for you after everything is said and done is arguably the sweetest part of it all though. Even if he's run himself ragged, he'll hardly hesitate in getting up to run a bath so both of you can get cleaned up after all this excitement. He'll probably end up pampering you while you're in there too, so long as you'll let him. Strohl is a very service-oriented lover, so he does wholeheartedly enjoy being helpful to you. However, if he's honest, he loves it even more when you pamper him in return. It just makes his heart feel so full to not only simply share the space of the bath together, but to share the act of it too.

After you've had your bath, typically all that's left for you two is a night of cuddles and peaceful rest. Maybe a quick meal beforehand if you aren't both totally exhausted. <3

[metaphorwritings]

Do you have any headcanons for Strohl with a very physically affectionate partner?? Bro's so pretty I just want to kiss his hand like the pretty princess he is

Metaphor Headcanons #2

-. Oh, I was waiting for this one!!!

-. Okay, so lemme just say that Strohl is a man who can do both when it comes to affection.

-. Allow me to explain.

-. When you and Strohl first started seeing each other officially, he was a MESS!!!

-. In private, like, hand holding and little kisses, and he'd blush, he'd stutter, y'know cute shit!

-. But in public, this boy is bright red!!!

-. If you take his hand in public, he will freeze up and just allow you to drag him wherever you'd like.

-. If you kissed his cheek or any part of him for that matter, he would try and kind the growing blush on his cheeks with the collar of his jacket

-. But it's not to say he doesn't like it!

-. Hell no!

-. In fact, he likes when you show off your affection towards him.

-. He always felt comfort in your little touches, because he hasn't had anything so tender like that since his parents passed.

-. Oh, and he LOVES it when you gently caress his clemar horns!!!

-. And if you start playing with his long fingers, or kissing the knuckles of his calloused hands, looking into his eyes?

-. K.O.!

-. This man will be weak in the knees for the rest of the day with butterflies in his stomach!

-. Safe to say, he's a touch starved baby.

-. He also has no idea what he's doing when it comes to affection.

-. Like, he has no idea what he's doing the first couple of times you two would cuddle or anything like that.

-. He's so used to just doing friendly touches like handshakes and shoulder punches that he's a moron when it comes to the romantic stuff.

-. He's so nervous to make it awkward and shit.

[Spoilers ahead!!!]

-. Now, I've listed all of the bashfulness that is Leon Strohl da Haliaetus, and I know what you're thinking

-. "Didn't you say he can do both?"

-. Yeah, this man is POSSESSIVE!!!

-. I think Strohl being the stubborn, hard-headed guy he is...

-. The guy who literally wanted to square up with Louis when they were trying to act like his best buddies in front of ALLLLL OF HIS SUBORDINATES...

-. Oh, he would definitely get jealous easily if he caught someone looking at you funny

-. If he catches some random drunkard trying to flirt and get cozy with you? He puts his arm around you and pulls you in closer to him.

-. If someone is staring at you in a way he doesn't like? Expect two kinds of kisses depending on the situation :

-. Kisses on the back of your hands at formal events...

-. And super, steamy, passionate ones on the lips in front of people he REEEEAAALLY doesn't like.

-. One minute you are chatting with Hulkenberg about the food at this event, or Heismay is telling you an old story of his and then BAM!

-. Strohl turns you around and is kissing you, with tongue, one hand on your cheek, the other groping your ass.

-. He wants that person he hates so much to look at what he's doing to you in public and he LOVES it when you kiss back and hold him close.

-. Hulkenberg and Heismay be like : 😶

-. Then, to reassure Strohl everything is alright, you always cup his face with both of hands, get him to lean down to your height...

-. Or look up if you're tall!

-. And you nuzzle your nose against his

-. And this man's heart is about to explode

-. Speaking of comfort, Strohl likes to have you close to him if he starts having nightmares about his home town being burnt to the ground.

-. He just wants you to keep holding him close and running your fingers through his hair, whispering words of affirmation to him.

-. Strohl is a big fan of tiny kisses.

-. His favourite places are his nose, his neck and his cheek.

-. And when Strohl is away from you for a long time, this man will kick the door and rush at you and pick you up and spin you around and later just let you play with his horns while his head is on your lap.

Leon Strohl da Haliaetus x G/N!Reader

I'm sorry this took so long, been busy with finishing up my finals, and as well as graduation this coming Friday, but I hope yall like this strohl x reader!

◇◇◇

Y/N didn't know what happened.

One moment they were on their way back home from classes for the day, now they were in some sort forest late at night, which also baffled them since there was still daylight when they left campus.

Now as they stood in the middle of the woods, they looked around for signs of anyone around, but unfortunately they didn't see anyone.

But they did hear a roar come from nearby, causing them to jump.

"What the hell was that?" They muttered as they looked around, but only saw the shadows of the trees that surrounded them.

But that's when they felt something sharp slash right across their arm, tearing their sleeve and skin open, soaking their arm in blood fast.

A scream came out from their mouth as they fell to their knees as they tightly gripped their arm where the wound was, the pain unbearable.

Looking up, they stared in horror at the creature infront of them.

They thought it was a wolf at first, but seeing how big it was, the glowing yellow eyes and the razor sharp teeth, Y/N knew this wasn't a wolf.

This thing was a monster.

They couldn't move as it pounced at them, causing them to raise their arms up, expecting it to bite them again and finish them off, but nothing happened.

Lowing their arms, they were met with a group of people who stood infront of them and faced the monster.

"Strohl, get them to safety, we'll handle this thing!" A woman with long red hair and wore a dark grey outfit said as she held her weapon out towards the beast.

"On it." A tall man next to her with silver hair replied as he put his sword away and rushed over to them.

He wore a yellow jacket over a white dress shirt and black pants.

And one thing that caught their attention was the horns on both sides of his head.

'Are these people cosplaying or something?' They thought as their vision began to blur and they began to feel weak.

"Don't worry, I'll get you to safety." The man said as he lifted them up off the ground in his arms and sprinted away from the monster and the other people.

"Who..." they mumbled as they felt themselves begin to go in and out of conciousness.

"I promise we will talk when your treated and have rested." The man said as Y/N fully lost conscious.

◇◇◇

Hours have passed since that attacked happened when Y/N began to regain conciousness.

Their vision was still a bit of a blur, but it slowly started to become more and more clearly as each second past.

Trying to sit up, they immendiately felt a pair of hands gently lower them back down.

"Hey, take it easy, you lost quite a bit of blood back there." A familiar voice said softly.

Looking over, Y/N saw the same silver haired man sitting next to them, a concerned look on his face.

"Who..." they tried to speak, but their throat was dry and scratchy, causing them to go into a coughing fit.

"Here, drink this." The man held up a cup of water to their mouth.

Drinking a bit, Y/N's throat felt a bit better much to their relief, thanking the man after finishing the cup of water.

"Who are you? Where am I?" They first asked as the man set the cup down.

"Oh, sorry, we didn't have time to introduce ourselves since that beast attack. I'm Strohl, Leon Strohl." He said giving them a kind smile.

"Y/N, thank you for saving me from whatever that thing was." They said, shuttering when remembering that monster.

"As for where we are, we are just north of Martira, on our way back to Grand Trad." He replied, confusing them.

Martira? Grand Trad?

Where were they?

"You look confused, have you never heard of those cities?"

Y/N only nodded their head, causing Strohl to frown.

"Are you not from Euchronia then?"

"No... I never even heard of Euchronia."

Strohl was shocked to hear that, he knew that they weren't part of any of the tribes that were in the country, except maybe an elda, but hearing that they never heard of Euchronia at all...

Who were they?

"Well its getting late, we can talk more in the morning and don't worry, even if right now we don't know anything about your situation, I promise, we will find a way to help you."

Hearing this made Y/N smile a bit.

They only just meet this man, but they feel they can trust him.

Rogue-durin-16 masterlist

"MEDIC!" The word came out of my lungs taking the form of a terror-filled shriek which made everyone in the barn spin in our direction for a split second before taking action.

Lesniewski, who had opened the door for us, was now rushing our fellow comrades to clear the broad table, along with Strohl.

Alley stayed behind, walking with me and eventually helping me lay Y/n down on the wooden surface as carefully as possible. When Moe looked up, I could see guilt plastered all over his stare.

I would have loved to let him know it wasn't his fault, that Y/n had made the choice to take the hit for him —she really was one of a kind—, that she would have done it a thousand times in a heartbeat for any of us, but when I reached for a bandage to cover my own wound and my eyes laid on the lacerated woman, I could only spare my friend a very unfair resentful glare.

I casted down my head once more, this time due to the hitched breath coming from Y/n. I kneeled down by her side while Roe took a good look at the wounds from across the table.

Her eyes were fixed in an indefinite point above us, a single tear running down the upper part of her cheekbone, washing a string of blood on its way. She did not complain while Doc began to clean her wounds— probably due to the shock, but worthy of admiration nonetheless.

"—Joe!" My head snapped at Winters, who stared at me with a concerned frown. Given the looks of the boys, our Captain had called for me more than once. "I asked if you're able to go back."

"Why wouldn't I?" Winters pretended to overlook the unnecessary bitterness in my tone.

"C'mon, then."

"Yes, Sir." My heart skipped a beat when Y/n's trembling fingers brushed my own bandage, through which the blood was beginning to leak. "I'll be back, ya fuckin' dumbass." I whispered, gently pulling her hand away from my neck.

Thank God the shrapnel hadn't reached her eyes, I thought to myself. They were my favorite thing; I loved getting lost in them, the inherent comfort they offered to anyone, the sparkle of mischief they held when she joked around.

As I raised back to my feet in order to part, I was able to fully appreciate the magnitude of the number the potato masher had done on her. Roe had partially cut off her clothes, and the numerous holes in her body were now visible.

I would never get rid of that sight.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

"If you weren't so far up your ass you'd see—"

"why don't you try and behave civil for once, Liebgott?" She hissed, leaning back as we walked in order for me to hear her low voice.

"You love playin' the bigger person, dontcha?" I sneered, hovering over her from behind without stopping the march, eyes fixed ahead of us. "Little Miss fuckin' Perfect."

She spun around to give me a firm shove, which made me bump into Strohl, who passed us muttering something intelligible. "You're as thick as two short planks and I can't fuckin' stand your pretentious ass." She spat, eyes fiery with rage. "Better like that?"

I didn't even recall how we had gotten there. Something related to a comment I had made about how she was too loud for a scouting mission. It had, like most times, escalated.

Said comment hadn't been meanspirited; on the contrary, what I had intended was to keep Y/n out of it. She had been worn out since Market Garden. I was trying to help her, but she hadn't seen it like that, so there we were, adding fuel to the flames.

"Every word that comes out of your mouth makes my blood boil." I retorted through gritted teeth, suppressing the yells I wanted to shout out.

"You're the most insufferable—"

"Silence! The two of you!" Sergeant Youman scolded us, making our faces turn to him. "You're in the Airborne, not in a school playground." I took in a sharp breath, knowing it was time to keep our mouths shut, as hard as it might be. "Y/l/n, with Alley. Liebgott, with Strohl. Lesniewski, climb that dike, let us know what you see."

"Yes, Sir." Lesniewski whispered, jogging ahead of us to accomplish the task he had been assigned.

I took the chance to overtake Y/n, circling her with my eyes digging on her form. "that's the last time I try to do somethin' nice for ya."

"Somethin' nice— the nerve you have." she seethed, parting ways to meet Alley.

We were all coming together around the dike, positioning ourselves while Lesniewski climbed it. I turned to Y/n, who was already squinting her eyes at me. I was about to mouth some blasphemy at her when something rolled down the slope.

"LIVE GRENADE!" Lesniewski shouted atop of us. Some reacted quicker than others.

"ALLEY, MOVE!" Y/n shouted, propping herself.

"Y/N NO! WAIT—!" Time slowed down, elongating the disastrous moment in my eyes.

Not trusting Alley's response speed, Y/n threw herself to him, surely with the intention to make them both roll away, but there was not enough time left to do so.

With dread, I realized that faster than any of them, and I instinctively reached out to pull Y/n towards me, which earned me a piece of shrapnel in my neck.

"Sonofabitch!" I yelped, thrown back by the pain, taking a hand to the place where the damage had been inflicted. "Fuckin' Krauts!"

Strohl, cussing, informed us the shrapnel had reached the radio; hand grenades thrown by Lesniewski were heard going off at the opposite side of the dike. It wasn't until Youman pulled me up that I didn't see what had happened to Y/n.

Alley was her upper body, which laid limply on the grass, to rest on his thighs. "Fuck..." I crouched by them, mentally preparing myself for the worst.

In the darkness of the night, We could barely discern anything, but Alley, after looking for Y/n's pulse, affirmed she was alive; I bent to check her breathing, too, and felt it fanning my cheek.

"Hey, Y/n." I called for her, catching a glimpse of the wounds due to the glistening spots of blood all over her left side that seemed to grow wider. I prayed for that to be a nasty trick of my imagination. "I'm gonna get ya outta here—" I jumped over her and snaked my forearms under her knees ans shoulder blades. "c'mon, sweetheart, upsa-daisy!"

As I pulled us both up, a weak whimper escaped her lips. Her eyes were still open when her face constricted in agony due to the pain; I knew she thought she was dying by the grip her hand had on my jacket, making my heart stammer in terror.

At some point in our rushed way to CP, I thought she was dying, too.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

READER'S P. O. V.

It had been... Three days? Maybe four? I wasn't certain; most of my time at the aid station, excepting Alley's visit, had been spent either under the effects of morphine or sleeping.

All I knew was that it was daytime, and that I hated the rays of sunlight that snuck into the aid station and dazzled my eyes, stopping me from catching a glimpse of Liebgott entering and walking up to my bed until he was by my side.

His visit would have taken me more aback if Moe hadn't spilled the beans to me when he had dropped by. Luckily for Joe, I had been too intoxicated to pick up on everything, but I had gotten a grasp of the basics.

'you should've seen his face, he was 'boutta murder me.' 'I think he cried while he carried you all the way back' 'he appreciates you more than you think.'

"Hey." He cleared his throat, hands on his pockets, scanning my frame and making a stop on my damaged side. "How are ya?"

"Alive." My voice was raspy from the lack of use. "How do I look?"

He frowned, his lips pressed in a tight line. "Like a pretty version of Frankenstein."

"Frankenstein's the doctor, Lieb." I smugly corrected him. "It's the details that matter."

"Smartass."

There was an instant of silence preceding my inquiry. "Your neck?"

"Just a scratch." He dismissed, taking a look around.

He was completely out of his comfort zone, so obviously not knowing what to do or how to act; I would have been the same, but my judgement was slightly clouded by the remainings of the drugs in my body, giving me a carefree attitude.

"You think I look pretty, huh?"

"What?"

"You said—"

"Pretty version of Frankenstein." He did his best to ride out the situation I was intentionally driving us into. "It's the details that matter, right Y/l/n?"

"Ha. ha." I spared him an observing glance; his eyes were fixed on his boots while he seemed to debate what he should say and how.

"Ya know," he inhaled, scrunching his nose. "If you'd kept your pretty mouth shut when I said you shouldn't go on the patrol—"

"Shut up, Liebgott." I cut him off before he could start a fight. I had one shot to take this conversation where I wanted to, and he wasn't going to ruin it with his poor management of emotions. "That's two 'pretty's in a row."

"So what?" He spat.

"Nothin'." I shrugged, attempting and failing to hold back a devilish smirk at his defensive stance. "Alley said I gave you quite a scare." I tested the waters, throwing my forearm over my eyes in order to block the light that threatened to worsen my headache.

"Alley should shut the fuck up." I heard his steps, and assumed he had either stepped back or attempted to pace. "Where the hell are you drivin' up with this, Y/n?"

"I'm just havin' a conversation." I blatantly lied, not wanting to be straightforward just yet. "After the blast I went deaf on this side for a hot minute." My seemingly random statement helped him ease up. "Y'know what's the last thing I heard?"

'Y/N, WAIT—!'

The words echoed in my head every now and then. It had been a desperate cry out, followed by a tug on my boot. The tone in which they were shouted made me feel sorry for Liebgott.

"I—" I peeked at him. He looked like a deer caught on headlights. "I- I don't care. I just came to check you weren't dead or somethin'." He hesitated, huffed, ran his hand through his locks and muttered something under his breath before declaring, "Shouldn't've come. Fuck this."

I couldn't stop him from walking out, and in all honesty, I wasn't sure if I would have tried to. Thinking about it, I myself didn't quite know if what I was attempting to do was a good idea, at least in that setting.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Y/n Y/l/n, back for more!" Some of the boys who were smoking near the barracks turned at the sound of my name, coming from Talbert, who lost no time to come greet me once I arrived at Mourmelon among a group of replacements.

"Hey, Tab." a genuine smile danced on my face; the aid station had been hell on earth, and, as crazy as it sounded, I had been dying to head back to Easy.

"Pretty face you got there, Y/n." George commented, vaguely pointing at all the carefully stitched wounds on my left side.

"It's still better than yours." I responded, shaking his hand, much like I had shaken Talbert's. Scanning the group of veterans, I locked eyes with Liebgott. Once I had caught him staring, it took him less than a second to throw his cigarette to the ground and walk away from the group.

"Just in time for the weekend passes, huh?"

"Yeah just in time— will you excuse me, boys?" I requested absentmindedly before marching through them.

"Don't step into any potato mashers, kid!"

"I'll try, Martin!" I responded with a soft laugh before hurrying my steps. "Hey." I sighed when Liebgott, instead of stopping, began to walk faster. "Hey!" After a brief jog, I managed to reach him, giving his forearm a tug. "Where's the fire, Liebgott?"

He came to a halt, sighing before turning around. "Shouldn't you be in a hospital or somethin'?"

"I went AWOL." I explained.

He stared at me dumbfounded with an incomprehensible look on his face. "Go back to the hospital or I'll report you." And with that threat, he spun back and resumed his walk.

"Excuse me?" I couldn't help but snort at the incoherence of his words, trailing after him. "You'll get me sanctioned 'cause what? you don't wanna see me? Very mature."

"I don't wanna see you HURT!" He shouted, suddenly rotating whilst gesticulating wildly. "That's what I don't wanna see! You fuckin' IDIOT!" His voice cracked and I couldn't tell if it was due to the anger or triggered by something else he couldn't quite handle. "You could've let Alley take the blow but NO! You had to be as fuckin' selfless as always!" It was definitely something else, it was fear. It shone in his orbs, making them glassy. "Seein' you all holed was the worst thing in the f—" There was an instant of silence in which he took in a sharp breath, trying hard to get a hold of himself while I stared perplexed. "I— you were—" his eyes drifted away from mines, getting lost not in a place but in a thought, and suddenly the fear in them started to slide down his cheekbones. "FUCK!"

I averted my gaze, in order to give him a moment to compose himself, in which I dismissed a couple of privates who had come to check what the yelling was.

Once he had wiped the tears away and seemed to be in a better state, I spoke. "I signed up for this, Joe." As uncomfortable as I was, I tried my best to sound somewhat gentle, yet firm.

He shook his head no, eyes casted on the ground, arms akimbo. "What am I supposed to do if you throw yourself in front of another grenade?" He questioned, finally looking up.

"What am I supposed to do if you do that?" I retorted. "You think I don't know how you got the shrapnel in your neck?" He huffed, pulling out his lighter and another cigarette from his pocket before doing a half turn.

And then I said something I should have, because he was leaving once more and I didn't know how else to make him stay.

"Alley told me how you feel about me!" Mistake or not, it made him stop walking. "This is not the way you wanna handle the situation, Joe."

"Y/n. I don't wanna handle the situation." He spoke in a whisper, as if he was afraid someone else would hear us. "You're the most reckless person in the whole fucking battalion, if I handle the situation and you die, I dunno what I'm gonna do with myself." Liebgott explained, pointing at me with the hand he held the cigarette in. "And Alley's a blabbermouth, he had no reason to tell you that."

"Joe," I frowned. "Y'know how I feel about you?"

"Y/N, don't go there." He warned me, shaking his head 'no'. "I said I don't wanna handle the situation. We'll pretend Moe kept his mouth shut."

"So we wait 'til another grenade goes off?" He took a drag of his cigarette, examining the wall besides us. "We just wait 'til— can you look at me when I'm talkin'?"

Letting out a frustrated grunt, I stalked to him until only a few inches were left in between us, tearing the cigarette away from his hand and throwing it to the ground before taking a hold of his cheeks and forcing him to look at me.

"I fuckin' appreciate you. A lot. You have no idea, alright?" I stated firmly, letting go of his face to point my index at him. "And I'm not gonna wait until you're dead to handle it— 'cause guess what, you idiotic jerk?! You're as reckless as I am!"

The corner of his lip twitched up in the most subtle way— so subtle that I would have thought I had imagined it, had it not been for his words.

"You want me to handle the situation?"

"Yes, I want you to fuckin' handle the—" he slapped my index finger away before closing the gap between us, cupping my cheeks in order to hold me steady once our mouths met.

It was a hungry kiss, sloppy and impatient; teeth clashing and pants slipping in between, our hands fought with one another's layers of clothing, desperately pulling each other impossibly closer.

At some point, between Liebgott backing me against the wall and my hands finding their way under his shirt, a very clear thought crossed my mind.

This is not how we should handle the situation.

I took advantage of the moment Joe put some distance between our lips in order to catch a breath to speak my mind.

"We gotta work on this." I announced in a breathless whisper, slipping my hands out of Joe's clothing while he let go of my thigh, which he had pulled up. "This— I don't think this is how we should handle it."

"Yeah," he agreed, equally out of breath. "We'll... We'll learn to handle it." His words were for his own assurance more than they were for mine, but they still did the trick.

"With time." I gave him a small smile, relocating his shirt and jacket back in place for him not to get cold. "We'll get a hold of it."

"Y/n?" I hummed, cueing him to keep talking. "If you throw yourself in front of another grenade—"

"I'll try not to." A coy grin made its way to my face while we gazed into each other's eyes. "What made you change your mind?"

"You're extra hot when you lose your temper." He half joked, leering at me, which earned him a playful shove. He let out a soft laugh, giving me a sweet kiss before pulling me into a tight hug that I quickly reciprocated. "Don't get hurt again." He whispered against my hair.

"Same goes to you." I responded, planting a kiss on his shoulder.

There was a moment of comfortable silence which was broken by Joe's words. "Y'know, I don't really know how to handle the situation but" he pulled away. "I think going out on a date is not a bad start."

"Any suggestions?" I questioned with eager eyes.

"They're gonna be a movie playing at the camp this evenin'." He suggested, picking another cigarette from the packet in his pocket and handing me another one before beginning to walk.

"I like the sound of that." I responded, thanking him for the smoke and joining him in his march.

"The cinema it is." He gave me a side look, a content smile dancing on his lips while he lit his own cigarette and then mine.

We would handle the situation.

Hello!

I was hoping I could request headcanons of Strohl crushing on a female Paripus! Reader who works at a bakery and has a very sweet personality, please?

Of course, I am so sorry it took so long. I've been busy with the job i have now and trying to find an internship for the career I'm trying to get into, it kinda made me a bit uninterested in writing for a while from feeling burned out with life. I hope you enjoy these headcanons!

Strohl crushing on a Fem!Paripus!Reader that works at a bakery

♡ You both meet when you were working at you were working at your grandmother's bakery located in Grand Trad.

♡ You were out getting some ingredients that the bakery ran out of when some clemar nobles started to harass you for your tribe.

♡ You tried your best to ignore them, but that failed when one of them grabbed your arm, causing you to drop the items in your arms, and pinned you to the stone wall.

♡ You were about to yell for help when, all of a sudden, someone grabbed the noble from behind and shoved him away from you.

♡ Looking up at your savior, you saw a clemar man about your age standing between you and the nobles that were harassing you.

♡ After the two noble men ran off, the man introduced himself as Strohl, and you introduced yourself to him and thanked him for saving you.

♡ Days passed when you see him again at the bakery when you were working.

♡ Wanting to give him something as a thank you for him saving you, you made him a bag of treats.

♡ Giving it to him, you chuckled a little seeing his face turn pink as he thanked you for the treats.

♡ Since then, Strohl found himself visiting the bakery to see you and get to know you more and more, and in the process, catching feelings for you.

♡ He loves your sweet personality, and how cute you are when you talk about your hobbies when he asked what you were interested besides baking.

♡ He swears to protect you from anything that would harm you or make you upset.

Pairing: Basilio Lupus Magnus x F!Reader

Additional Info: Spoilers for post Saint's Day, 3rd person POV, if Bas seems OOC it's because I played with the JP dub and this Basilio is JP dub Basilio so... idk what to tell you lol, reader is described as small, reader's tribe isn't specified but she is specifically not a paripus, also reader has a personality and motives, naked man/half-naked woman, p in v, unsafe sex, wrap it before you tap it guys, oral from both sides, slight size kink, creampie, breeding kink, idk I feel like Basilio would be into it, paripus man DESTROYS tribally ambiguous woman, there's a reason why his second archetype is called "destroyer"... 👅, wrote this cause I couldn't find any Basilio stuff, it's prolly bc of spoilers but it still made me sad so, if the tenses in the writing seem to go back and forth it's because English isn't my native language and I have no respect for it so don't correct me ❤️, cat Basilio supremacy, I don't CARE that his middle name is Lupus HE IS A CAT, lowkey scent kink??, also Strohl mentioned in length once, he's next btw 😈, okay so coming back here to add a note: while replaying the game i realized that basilio stays in neuras' study i think??? and the walls are see through cages with no door so either pretend that the room has solid walls and a door or that they're sleeping in a room we don't see in the game kthxbye

Summary: At the sound of her laughter, his heart skips a beat, she smiles at him, and he's gone. He's starting to get sick of rushing to the restroom every time she hugs him. Maybe it's time the paripus does something about the feelings in his heart. And dick.

Basilio Lupus Magnus has a problem.

It's not the fact that he just joined the group of people he was (unknowingly) enemies with, it's not the fact that the group aims to undo the prince's curse, and it's certainly not the fact that one of the group's goals is to kill the man he formerly served.

No, Basilio's problem is a single woman.

She was a member of Will's group before he was. He remembers her always staying close to him and Del when they were travelling together to Virga Island, how she looked at both of them with kind (and pitying?) eyes, how she volunteered to stay back to take care of Del with him despite the group's protests, how she shared her dream with him...

"I want to travel the whole world someday. Not just Euchronia, but everywhere else, too."

Seems oddly ambitious for just a lackey of Lord Louis, he thought then. Now, he thinks he understands her dream better. (And maybe, just for a moment, he wanted- in a small part of his heart- to make that dream come true with her.)

Basilio shook his head. He had better things to focus on! Like, I don't know, his shared life-or-death mission to wake up the prince and kill Louis?! But she was one of the ones who shared that mission, wasn't she? So can he really discard her from his thoughts so easily? Thinking about all this just made Basilio go in circles, so he tried not to think at all.

However, that was made significantly more difficult at night, when he held her in his arms while the both of them laid on the cushion in the small and dingy back room of the gauntlet runner that was barely able to fit the both of them.

"I don't mind," she said, "I'm quite small anyway, so surely we can both fit on the cushion!"

'Del and I could barely fit on that thing, and he was smaller than you!' he wanted to correct her, but when she looked at him with such a cute smile and those eyes... How could he possibly turn her down? So now here he is, laying with the girl who stole his heart in his arms, unable to sleep over the sound of the pounding heart in his chest. (And another kind of pounding- or, more accurately, throbbing in his pants.)

She was sleeping so soundly, peaceful and unaware that the man holding her is practically vibrating from the strength he has to use to hold himself back from burying his nose in the junction of her throat to sniff and smell her until he can't breathe anymore and all of his senses are filled with her, and her, and her, and only her.

Basilio would slap himself if his arms weren't so preoccupied with holding her. What the hell was wrong with him? He was acting like an animal in heat, for God's sake! He tried his best to take a deep breath without taking her scent in, (which failed, obviously) closed his eyes, and practically forced himself to fall asleep.

Basilio Lupus Magnus has a problem.

This time, it's not warmth and a throb he feels in his heart when he sees her, but a painful squeeze.

He sees her sitting next to Strohl on the round table in the middle of the gauntlet runner (now a ship sailing through the seas between the small islands surrounding Eht Ria), rubbing her hand up and down on his back in a comforting gesture while the clemar grumbles and groans about his seasickness.

Basilio hears her asking Strohl "Do you need anything?", and feels himself frown. In the very next moment, he shakes his head, and furrows his eyebrows. What is wrong with him? Basilio has never been very good at defining emotions. He feels what he feels and expresses what he feels, simple as that. The paripus accepted the fact that he is in love with her a while ago, so does that mean that this feeling is... jealousy?

Jeez, he feels like a creep just watching the two from a corner... When he turns around to leave, he runs into the Captain (now also the prince... wacky stuff), and the young man smiles at him knowingly. Unable to decide whether to feel angry or embarrassed, Basilio storms off to be alone with his thoughts in the lounge.

Unfortunately, he misses the way Will tells her "Told you".

Basilio Lupus Magnus has a problem.

Said problem is standing in front of him right now, with a frown on her face. (Basilio ignores the fact that he really, really wants to kiss it off of her face and make her smile.)

They are standing on the front deck of the gauntlet runner, each holding a letter in their hand.

Basilio's one says:

"I have something I really need to tell you. I made sure no one is going to be on the gauntlet runner, not even Neuras, so there won't be any distractions. Please meet me on the front deck at midnight." And it was signed with her name.

When she handed him the letter she got, Basilio almost tore it in half.

It was the exact same letter, except it was signed with his name.

'They set us up..!'

She blinked in confusion. "...Who?"

Shit. He said that out loud.

Before he could try to salvage the situation the best he possibly could, it seemed like she understood what was going on.

"...Oh."

Basilio felt like his remaining sanity was trapped within the breath he was holding. What she said next completely evaporated any chance he might've had to regain it.

"Well... Do you have something you need to tell me?"

The paripus finally sighed. There was no way he would run away from this. If she rejected him, so be it. Although there was no way he could keep staying in the same room as her if that happened. He supposed he could curl up on one of the sofas in the lounge instead.

But all the feelings he thought he wanted to tell her got caught in his throat when he raised his head to look at her and their eyes met.

"I... Uh..." Basilio's tongue felt like lead in his mouth. His face felt so hot he thought he might go up in flames in the next moment.

She simply studied his face for a moment, and then smiled. She raised a hand to caress his face, which was the moment. Basilio was, at this point, in physical pain from holding back. So he decided not to anymore.

He surged forward, one of his hand shooting out to grab her waist, the other cradling the back of her head, and he smashed his lips against hers. The desperation and yearning coursing through his veins flowed down, down, down, until his pants were uncomfortably tight. Her arms coiled around his torso and held on tight, almost like she was afraid he would disappear if she let go. But it was okay, he would tell her that he wouldn't, no matter what. Whether it be with his words, or with his body.

They parted for just a moment to catch their breath. If Basilio was in a sane state of mind, he might have felt embarrassed over the fact that he was panting like a dog, but he couldn't even think about that while she was looking at him like he was the whole world.

"Basilio... I'm in love with you."

He felt like he could cry. He hid his face and his teary eyes in the crook of her neck.

"...I was waiting for you to say that."

He, in fact, was not. He basically had zero hopes of her ever reciprocating his feelings. As a paripus, he's used to being rejected in all kinds of ways. He thought that his love for her would be no different, and yet...

He lifted his head up to kiss her again, more properly this time, but her hand over his mouth stopped him.

"It's getting cold. Why don't we go inside?"

Basilio silently nodded.

Basilio Lupus Magnus has a problem.

And it's the very big one throbbing in his pants.

A problem which is made worse by the second as the love of his life, the girl he just kissed not even a minute ago, combs his hair back with her hands to leave soft yet dizzying kisses on his neck. While sitting on his lap, no less.

Basilio double, triple checked that their door was locked before doing anything, even though the letters said that not even Neuras would be on the runner tonight. But even if there was someone else here besides them, Basilio's keen ears would be able to hear them anyway.

Although, he wasn't sure how well he would be able to focus on hearing in this situation as a particularly harsh suck on the part where his neck connects to his shoulders rips an involuntary groan from his throat.

She softly laughs as she hears his tail thump between his legs on the cushion they're laying on.

"Are you getting impatient? Sorry... but I just want to savour you."

She takes one of the hands laying on her waist and brings it down to her ass. Basilio grits his teeth and squeezes, careful not to let his claws dig into her. The breathy moan that she lets out makes his cock jump so hard he almost believes that it would burst out of his pants.

"...I can't wait any longer."

Saying nothing in reply, she simply smiles and lets him flip them over. She feels her heart jump at the display of his strength, how he can always lift her like she weighs nothing. She remembers the way he smiled bashfully when she told him that he made her feel safe because of it.

Seeing Basilio on top of her like this made her extremely conscious of how small she is compared to him. She was always aware of how tall he was, but now, as he's pulling his half undone shirt over his head, she's noticing just how big he is.

She is miraculously able to hold back the whine itching at the back of her throat.

She reaches out a hand to run over the scars littering his chest, both new and old, and Basilio lets out a sigh when she grazes over one of the scars he got from the igniter experiments. He lifts one of his hands off of the cushion and lowers himself with the other so that he is laying on his elbow and so, so close to her that he can feel her uneven breaths hit his face, and grabbed the hand roaming on his chest.

Almost like snapping out of a trance, she gasped, and he smiled as he brought her hand up to kiss it. Then, he slowly parted his lips and bit down on her fingers, not hard enough to break skin, but hard enough for her to feel his fangs pressing down on her knuckles.

She could hear the pounding of her heart in her ears as Basilio let her hand go in favor of kissing her again and again, leaving her breathless.

She lightly pressed on his chest to make him pull away, and he did what she wanted, albeit reluctantly. The young woman felt slightly hypocritical for calling Basilio impatient earlier, as she felt that her patience had run out a long, long time ago, and she would die if he didn't fuck her right now.

"Basilio... please..."

Her words failed her, and she brought her hand down to tug on his pants, making his tail swish wildly behind him, although she couldn't see it with Basilio's figure engulfing her vision.

Without saying anything, the paripus stood up to discard his pants and underwear as fast as he possibly could, cursing when his tail got caught up on his belt. The sight would've made her giggle if she wasn't so painfully horny.

She could swear both pairs of her lips drooled at the sight of his cock. Almost as if on instinct, she flew up from where she was sitting, got on her knees, and took the tip of Basilio's cock into her mouth before he could stop her.

Basilio hissed and cursed as his hand involuntarily went to cradle the back of her head. He had to fight the urge to push her head down when she started sucking him.

The paripus wouldn't mind letting her do whatever she wants if this was any other instance, but every single cell in his body was screaming at him to throw her down onto the cushion where they had slept together on so many occasions and just slam into her balls deep and empty everything he has been holding back deep inside.

So he gently pulled her away from him, picked her up, and laid the both of them back down the cushion, with Basilio on top of her. Just when she thought he would finally fuck her, the paripus lowered himself until he was face to face (or more accurately, face to pussy) with her wet, dripping heat. Basilio buried his nose in her clothed pussy and took a big, shameless breath, letting her smell engulf him whole.

Unable to care about anything else anymore, Basilio utilized his claws to rip apart her undergarments and dove his tongue in her hole as soon as she was exposed. He lapped at her and shoved his tongue in until he physically couldn't anymore. Her moans and gasps fuelled his growing lust, as well as her hands gripping his hair.

Basilio took her hands in his and brought them up over to his ears. He momentarily parted from her pussy to tell her that she could hold onto them if she wanted to. He dove back in as she started to gently rub and pet his ears.

"Ah... Basilio, here..."

She tugged at his ears to bring his head up and shoved his mouth on her clit.

"Suck here."

Basilio groaned as he did as he was told. With each lick and suck his fangs would graze her and she would gasp, although the feeling only served to excite her further. The grip she had on his ears borderlined on painful as she tensed beneath the vice grip on her thighs.

"Basilio... 'M gonna cum..!"

Her words only caused him to lick her faster, bringing her closer and closer to the edge. Finally, she threw her head back and let out a strained moan as she gushed on his mouth and tongue. Basilio thoughts it was the hottest thing he had ever seen, the sight of her making the ache in his cock unbearable.

The paripus quickly climbed back on top of her and let her taste herself on his tongue. Her breath quickened as she heard the wet sound of Basilio spreading his precum over his cock. He parted from her only slightly just so he could look into her eyes as he fisted his cock and started to push his swollen tip into her tight pussy.

Even with how wet and loose she was from her orgasm, Basilio still felt like his cock was practically being strangled by her walls. Knowing how well-endowed he was, the paripus was about to tell her to relax, but saw that her expression didn't look pained at all. In fact she looked very... impatient?

"It's okay... You can keep going. I, uh..." she stammered for a bit as Basilio stared at her with curious eyes. "I can't believe I'm about to admit this, but... I'm... used to this."

Basilio stayed silent. The implication of that was something that he did not want to think about. Thankfully, sensing his discomfort, she rushed to clarify.

"..! I didn't mean... I mean, uh... I have toys that are about your size, so..."

Oh.

Oh.

Suddenly, Basilio felt a surge of confidence course through him.

"Do you, now?" He smirked, sending a shiver down her spine. The look in his eyes was one that she saw often, when he brought down his axe on their enemies to destroy them.

"Then that means I don't have to hold back, right?" She watched his pupils expand vertically in excitement. Basilio then pulled out until only his tip was inside and slammed the entirety of his length inside her with one powerful thrust. Her hand scrambled to find purchase on any part of Basilio's body as he set an unforgiving pace with his hips.

The paripus pulled her closer until their chests were pressing against each other and buried his nose in her neck. He took a deep breath, smelling her sweat and excitement, and bit down. If she wasn't loud before, she sure as hell was now. The metallic taste of her blood filled his mouth as he kissed and lapped at the wound he inflicted, the gentle act of kindness completely contrasting with the harsh movements that drove his cock into her over and over again.

Basilio felt like he was about to lose his mind. His head fell onto the cushion below him as his thrusts became more and more sloppy.

"I'm... I'm gonna cum..!"

He was somehow still coherent enough to warn her, although it seemed more like a promise to her. She wrapped her legs around his waist and locked her ankles together.

"Inside," was the only word she was able to get out.

In a scenario where the two of them weren't absolutely out of their minds with lust clouding their judgement, they would've never even considered it. But the only thing that Basilio could picture in his head (picture, not think) was the image of her, with her belly swollen with his baby... babies? Either way, just that alone was enough to push the paripus over the edge.

Apparently, she was picturing something along the same lines as well, because her hole became impossibly tight around him as she came with a yell. Basilio slammed their hips together as he spilled inside her, the fluttering of her walls milking him for all he's worth. His ears were practically pinned to the top of his head as he let out a guttural moan at the overstimulation.

Thankfully, Basilio was able to stop himself from collapsing and knocking the wind out of her. Instead, he took her in his arms and laid the both of them on their sides, pulling out in the process. She whined in discomfort at the feeling of his cum running out of her and onto the cushion below, and he rubbed his cheek on her head in apology.

She was just about to fall asleep to the sound of his soft purring when Basilio suddenly opened his eyes and exclaimed,

"Crap! We should clean up before everyone gets back!"

And her drowsiness was washed away in an instant as the two scrambled up and off of their makeshift (and now stained) bed.

Basilio Lupus Magnus had a problem.

But not anymore.

His chest vibrated with his purring as his lover sat between his legs with her back to his chest in the outdoor bath, content.

Out of the blue, she broke the comfortable silence that was built between them.

"Um... This is a just in case, but... I'm on a particularly strong contraceptive right now, so you don't have to worry about me getting pregnant or anything..."

Honestly, Basilio had forgotten all about that in the heat of his mind blowing orgasm, but now that she mentioned it...

"Uh, about that... I was kinda imagining what our kids would look like."

When the he realized how that sounded, it was already out of his mouth and he wanted to punch himself. He lowered his head in embarrassment as he felt his face heat up. His ears perked up when he heard her laughter.

"Maybe after we put Louis under the dirt? I mean... with the world our Captain is gonna create, our children won't have to face the discrimination that people of mixed tribes do now."

He supposed that she was right. The thought of building a family with her made his chest bloom with warmth as his purring grew louder.

But what she said next made him freeze.

"Although... All contraceptives have a chance to fail, so..."

She craned her head back to look at him.

"Wanna try and find out it's effectiveness with me?"

...And just like that, he was hard again.

AN: I've been playing a lot of Metaphor: ReFantazio lately, so my apologies that this first post didn't come sooner. ^^' I've really been brainrotted to hell and back with that game because I just love it so much. That being said, in a weird, roundabout way, that's exactly what inspired this post! My favorite character is Strohl and me and my friends have a running joke that he's just fantasy Akihiko, so it's only natural that I write something about my dearly beloved proto-Strohl! /hj <3

CW: None! Just fluffy thoughts about Akihiko being a dork! This isn't technically X Reader, but you can absolutely read it as such. <3

So... we all know how canonically dense Akihiko is about romance, right? I mean, he seriously wondered why he failed so miserably during Operation Babe Hunt; so much so that he evidently went out and bought some sort of pickup artistry book after. He does not know how to get women, or really anyone for that matter. :')

That being said, how awkward he is about love truly never leaves my mind.

I fully believe that not only is he the type to not realize he has feelings for someone until someone else tells him, but I also believe that, beyond that point, he'll do anything but just ask someone else for advice. He'll sooner turn back to that book he bought after going to Yakushima than just ask. Not to say he would never get to the point of asking someone he knows for help, but he'd have to be really really desperate I fear. He can't help it, really, he's just super shy when it comes to this sort of thing. Sure, all these romance books and movies he's forcing himself to sit through seem incredibly cheesy, but if there's a chance they'll somehow help his predicament, then he'll put up with it all. He has to learn somehow, doesn't he?

Don't even get me started on how much he flounders when he's finally plucked up the confidence to start trying to flirt. Oh boy, this poor guy is a mess. He's trying so hard to act cool and charming, but he just ends up stumbling over his words and having to laugh it off as if he was just making a joke. Things that he used to say so casually (or so he thought at least) end up coming out super stiff compared to before. Any time he tries to compliment his crush, he feels like it comes out weird and ends up backpedaling in a panic. He might just die inside a little if he gets laughed at, but that's not gonna stop him from trying! He's nothing if not stubborn, so a little bit of failure isn't going to be enough to deter him. Yea, he's probably gonna make a fool of himself a dozen more times, but surely he'll get it right eventually... right?

The moment he decides to confess is absolutely where he blunders the most though. It's not that he didn't have a plan, because he definitely did; he kinda had to have one to be quite honest. He just... couldn't exactly stay on script. Even with the perfect time and place for it, I can't help but see him kind of freezing up. He had a plan, but it's all out the window now that he's really here trying to execute it. He probably has to be nudged into saying anything at all, and when he finally does, he just kind of blurts out "I love you".

He'd probably be beating himself up on the inside immediately for screwing up so royally, but if the person he's been crushing on is really deserving of him, surely an awkward confession is no problem for them. <3
