Hey! Idk if your still doing the flower themed asks but if you are, could I have Cypress, Honeysuckle, and Hydrangea for Mal from TD? (Possibly + the other alters but only if that's okay with u),

First TD asks? AND It's these guys??? Hand in marriage anon, wowsers.

Mal (Emo boy)

Cypress- How does this yandere comfort their upset darling?

All I'm gonna say is good luck because he is NOT good with emotions at all.

Really, it depends what it is. If you're upset/crying because he kidnapped you or something of the sort, he'll just kinda scoff and then wait until your done.

Don't get me wrong, he does love you, and he'll definitely feel bad about it later but.... It's Mal.

If it was something else entirely, like you just feel shitty or something bad happened, he'll tease you a little bit before awkwardly patting you on the back. That's the most you'll get though, he has an image to maintain after all :(

Honeysuckle- Would this yandere prefer to "tie-down" their darling through marriage or having/adopting kids?

I mean...

I can definitely see him going for marriage, he doesn't really care about the tradition part of it, but he does like the fact that you have to get through a LOT of paperwork if you wanna try to leave him.

(Also, the fact that he's labelled as your 'husband' instead of 'boyfriend' isn't all that bad either.)

With kids? He'd rather...not-

But he definitely thinks about it from time to time.

Hydrangea- How would this yandere react if the darling gave them affection? What is their internal thought process like?

'Fucking FINALLY'(/j)

Really awkward at first honestly-

But also he'd be really confused. Like, you're showing him? Affection? He knows he isn't the nicest person around (is proud of it, actually) so he's a little suspicious.

He also happens to be really touch starved, so instantly melts into it. You're not getting away from it for like, two days though. He'd throw a tantrum and you do NOT want that.

Svetlana (our beloved 🥰)

Cypress- How does this yandere comfort their upset darling?

Oh. Oh no.

This woman is a worrywart at heart, so the second you show even a hint of upset she's all over you (even if she is the reason-)

Please don't cry she'll cry too 😭

She'll cuddle up to you in a blanket and read/ramble to you, she just wants you to be happy again :)

Probably makes a bunch of dumb jokes and if you giggle at them she'll be so proud and won't stop talking for the rest of the night

Gives you a gazillion plushies because let's face it even if she had you tied up in a basement she would treat you RIGHT

Honeysuckle- Would this yandere prefer to "tie-down" their darling through marriage or having/adopting kids?

It's not something she would constantly think about, but she would be thinking about it CONSTANTLY if the thought was to come to her, y'know?

All in all, yes to both, but not just to "tie you down".

She truly believes that you two love each other and well, this is what people who love eachother do right?

Is in love if you were to go through with it, because even if you actually don't (>:() to her this is a massive sign that you love and trust her so much to want to spend the rest of your (un)willing life with her and -Oh! She's tearing up!

Is literally so giddy if you do were to have kids with her because she's with her most favourite people EVER and she wouldn't ask for anything else

Hydrangea- How would this yandere react if the darling gave them affection? What is their internal thought process like?

Is freaking out the whole time. Seriously.

You're like a personal serotonin booster, so she'll be SO excited if you were to show any form of affection to her.

Isn't able to sit still at all and probably scoops you up and swings you around in her arms out of excitement because!! she just loves you!! So much!!

Eventually calms down, and sits down to cuddle with you with a dopey grin :)

Manitoba (Indiana Jones ripoff/j)

Cypress- How does this yandere comfort their upset darling?

Is most likely super stressed and awkward with the situation because he really kidnapped a person and thought they WOULDN'T be upset fr 🙄

But seriously. He has no idea what to do at all, so he goes silent (which is rare) and just... Sits, next to you, awkwardly rubbing your back at random intervals.

When you've calmed down, literally just acts like it didn't happen and asks if you want to hear about more of his adventures 😐

He's trying okay

Honeysuckle- Would this yandere prefer to "tie-down" their darling through marriage or having/adopting kids?

Hear me out, this guy would be great with kids. Okay, so maybe not so great safety wise, but he's definitely got the spirit!

He's about 50/50 with it, is totally aware that it'll tie you down further but also really loves them :)

Even though he's an adventurer at heart, he's also a sucker for some sweet domestication too. (Ah, another *insert number of kids you have* to be subject to his stories >:))

Just a warning, don't let him name them. Take that as you will.

Hydrangea- How would this yandere react if the darling gave them affection? What is their internal thought process like?

He's... he's actually pretty chill? Like sure, mentally he's absolutely dying inside, but the most acknowledgement you'll get is slightly flushed cheeks and a smirk.

He does appreciate it though! It's just, in his head, he wants to make sure it's a daily thing and thinks that overreacting might make you only do it on special occasions.

Acts like he's training a hamster fr 😭✋

TDLR: He's a whiny bitc and wants affection every second

Vito

Cypress- How does this yandere comfort their upset darling?

The type of person to tell a sad person "Don't be sad!" 😐😐

He'll pull you onto his lap and play with your hair because... That's what people like, right?

Yeah, he's a flirt, but doesn't know for shit what to do when it actually comes to the emotional stuff.

Honeysuckle- Would this yandere prefer to "tie-down" their darling through marriage or having/adopting kids?

Marriage, definitely! With kids...

Nope. Please do NOT let this man within five meters of kids ever.

He literally does not know how to look after a tiny human being, half of his mind is saying that he looked after you so how hard could it be and the other half (probably Mal coming through tbh) is telling him to put it in the microwave.

He's also just generally awkward around kids- but please no matter how hard he begs do NOT

Hydrangea- How would this yandere react if the darling gave them affection? What is their internal thought process like?

*fuccboy smirk*

Mentally going "oh HELL yeah"

He sees it as normal really! But he's just happy that you're initiating it this time.

Gives you a little peck on the cheek as a reward and then keeps doing whatever he's doing

------------------------------------------

*cries and sobs* WHY did these take so long

[aesopsbaby]

Hey there! I want to request for a yandere Mike (If u can,plus his personalities but without Chester)general headcannons! Could darling(Female!) be sensitive as well? Like they are just afraid of everything and cries easily. And maybe darling is willing as well! Its fine if u don't want to write this,just ignore my ask if u don't. Thanks and keep me anon.

[Not taking requests anymore]

Sensitive

Note: I FORGOT I HAD ALREADY WRITTEN THIS. IT WAS JUST SITTING IN MY DRAFTS,IM SO SORRY FOR THE WAIT ANON <\3

Short Summary: Yandere Mike + personalities(Except Chester) with a sensitive,willing fem!darling

Let's start of with Mike,he absolutely adores you <3

He's so love-strickened by you,anything you do just makes him so soft and happy. He has a dumb smile as he stares at you,and if you look really carefully, you can spot hearts in his eyes.

Mike is a obsessive yandere. Everything is revolving around you <3 Anything you do,including;Eat/Drink/shower/sleep/shirts/safety. Anything

Mike's mind is filled with thoughts of you! Well,,,when he is in control I suppose. (Not that it truly matters,all his personalities are in love with you)

Mike prioritises you first in almost everything. Let's say you were in a challenge and you almost got yourself injured,without even opening your mouth and yell for help,Mike would already be by your side. Concern lacing his voice as he holds you closely and checks for any bruises or cuts.

With your sensitive nature, it just makes Mike love you even more <3

He is extra careful with his words and actions. He knows that you'll get scared easily so he tends to be real quiet and soft.

Mike's heart breaks into literal pieces whenever he sees you cry :(( His heart physically aches as he sees you sniffling and wiping your eyes vigorously.

Mike would gently pull your hands away from your sore,puffy red eyes. And internally,his heart just aches even more <\3 seeing you so broken and upset just makes him want to cry as well!

Then he would smile softly at you,rubbing gentle and small circles on the back of your hand to sooth you. And he would use his other free hand to tenderly wipe the tears away from your cheeks.

All the while he is whispering sweet words and praises to calm you down.

"Oh..oh don't cry now,love."

"You're so strong,you can do this!"

"Honey..what happened? You can talk to me."

"So pretty..so mesmerising..even when you cry,you're still so perfect,y/n."

Mike would definitely also be a pretty dangerous yandere. Not towards you,no no! But towards other people.

He would be way more brave and would threaten people to stay away from what's his.

Would Mike punish you:

I would say....not really.

The most he will do is to isolate you,no affection,no talking.

He will still bring you food and water.

But other than that,nothing else

He does feel bad though <\3 Since he can hear you sobbing and apologising.

He is sort of a push over for you though,so probably after 4 or 5 hours,he will let you out and immediately rushes to embrace you.

"I'm so sorry..I'm sorry,darling."

"But you needed to know you're not allowed to talk to others."

"Promise me you won't do that again. I don't want to have to torture you nor myself again."

But Mike usually refrains from punishments since he knows you wouldn't do anything to upset him ♡

Given that you're willing to be with him,he knows he can trust you :))

Mike sometimes just smiles at you,nothing else. You both can be cuddling and he just looks up at you and smiles adorningly. He just can't believe he has someone so lovely with him <3

Mike is grateful to have you with him,you help to keep him in control(well,,,most of the time-)

Petnames he uses:

Honey

Lovely

Beautiful

My everything

Darling

Love

Let's move onto Manitoba Smith!

Manitoba enjoys keeping you close to him. He needs to hold you at all times. Sometimes it's just to calm him down and assure him that everything is real,that you're really here and you are willing to be with him. <\3 He is terribly touch starved and needs your constant assurance.

Manitoba rescues you during challenges if he finds it too dangerous.

He finds joy in carrying you bridal style. <3 He thinks it's really romantic and heroic of him-

Manitoba thinks of you as a weak and fragile thing. Given that he is already quite sexist,,,and adding onto the fact you are female AND you are sensitive,,,,

So Manitoba definitely is a possessive yandere. He protects you because he thinks you can't defend yourself.

He is sometimes a bit,,,,rough/blunt with his words <\3

"Of course a girl like you would be afraid."

"Leave this to a man,sweetheart."

"Don't want you crying now,would we,love?"

Manitoba is a cocky person. He has this mindset that you need his help,he's doing you a favor for keeping you safe.

So he will definitely force ask you for affections,,,,

"How about a kiss,yeah?"

"Not too sure,love,maybe a hug would be good."

Manitoba uses alot of terrible but sometimes,,,,adorable(?) pick up lines just to see you get flustered.

Manitoba treats you as if you were helpless and pathetic. He pushes you along to do whatever he wants and he takes the lead easily.

Manitoba is a really controlling yandere as well,,,,

Manitoba doesn't know how to comfort someone when they are upset or crying. The most he'll do is give a slight hug and soothing back rubs. He will say nothing throughout the entire procedure though and he will be incredibly stiff.

"M'sorry,darling. Don't cry,alright?"

Would Manitoba punish you:

Hmm...that honestly depends as well.

He would,but just to put you in place and also to fuel into his ego.

He likes that he has control over you and that he can make you crumble within seconds!

He usually isolates you.

OR! He will force you to give him affections.

Either ways,he wouldn't hurt you physically.

But he wouldn't hesitate to hurt you emotionally-

Manitoba is smart. So you can forget about escaping him! (Not like you'd want to-)

Doing something that makes him proud/happy would earn you a head pat! <3 he would have a satisfied smile on his face as he pats your head softly.

Petnames he uses:

Sweetheart

Love

My Treasure

Gem

Darling

Angel

Sunshine

Now let's see Vito!

Vito is a,,,,laid back sort of yandere. He wouldn't act on anything. But he definitely would act if someone were to speak to you,or even worse,hit on you.

Vito has great strength as seen in the show,so he is a slight danger to people since he can easily knock someone out. But trust me,he wouldn't do it if it doesn't involve anything to do with you.

Vito flirts with you constantly because he enjoys watching you get embarrassed and flustered.

Vito is a slightly possessive yandere. He absolutely despises seeing others with you.

Whenever Vito takes control,his first instinct is to find you.

"Aye! Where's Cara mia(My beloved)?"

Vito isn't a danger to his darling. He loves you unconditionally <3

If you were to break down into tears,Vito would be absolutely distraught. His heart hurts so much but he doesn't understand why nor why were you crying!

Vito does not have any idea how to cheer someone up so he does the one thing that makes him happy:

He compliments your features!

"Oh...oh..you're so beautiful."

"Why cry,my love?"

Vito enjoys caressing your hair and your face <3 He likes to admire all your features. If you do the same to him,he would absolutely melt and just stare at you with love struck eyes and a small smile.

You want him to do something for you? Well,give him a reward. A kiss would do <3 or maybe a slight peck on the cheek.

Or maybe even promise to cuddle with him! Vito would be on his feet and doing exactly what you asked him to.

Vito is a huge softie for his darling <3 Any form of affections you can throw his way,he would take it and cherish it forever with a soft smile on his face.

Would Vito punish you:

Absolutely not.

Like I said,Vito is strong but he doesn't use it against his darling. He uses it to protect you!

He isn't the smartest but at least he knows you would love him genuinely

And he trusts you!

He would occasionally chide at you if you were to step out of line(Let's say,,,you spoke to someone or you let someone potentially be a danger to you)

"Amore mio.(My love) You know that's dangerous,don't do that aight?"

"Stay with me,I don't want to lose you,love."

Vito is incredibly protective of you. He knows you get scared easily and you are quite sensitive. So Vito always has an arm around your waist or a hand holding yours to ensure that you're safe and with him.

Petnames he uses:

Amore mio(My love)

Love

Darling

Cara mia(My beloved)

Anima mia(My soul)

Onto Svetlana!

Svetlana is the sweetest yandere you can get <3 She absolutely adores you and everything about you.

She is an overly protective yandere,same as the others. If she spots you in danger,she will huff frustratedly and come to your rescue.

Svetlana gives the best hugs! <3 She hugs you tightly and spews loving comments about you.

"Oh! You're just so cute!"

"Pretty lady for Svetlana!"

Svetlana enjoys dancing with you! Whether you have the ability to or not,she doesn't mind it! As long as she's close to you and holding you,nothing else matters.

Svetlana would probably be an obsessive yandere. She likes to admire you and enjoys being you. She doesn't really mind if others speaks to you,but if they were to be potential threats to you,Svetlana would act quickly and bring you away.

Svetlana loves holding you up and smiling brightly at you before bringing you down and hugging you tightly while pressing kisses on your face <3

"Oh Svetlana is so lucky to have you!"

Svetlana thinks your sensitive nature is adorable! She thinks of you as a scared little bunny.

Would Svetlana punish you:

Same as Vito. She wouldn't.

She doesn't see a need to!

You are everything she needs and loves.

Why would she want to hurt you?

However,she would playfully huff and ignore you if you were to make her upset,,,,

"Do not talk to Svetlana right now,maybe...in another 2 more minutes!"

Svetlana would absolutely break apart if she sees you crying :(( She would hug you tightly and soothing pat your back to calm you down.

"My poor thing..don't cry.."

"Liebling,you're so wonderful! Absolutely wonderful!"

Svetlana enjoys pressing soft kisses on your face and nose <3 and showering you with compliments as well!!

Petnames she uses:

Liebling

Hase

Honey

Lovely

Pretty lady

Moving on,we have Mal!

Let's start off by saying,Mal is a horrible yandere to have. He is cruel,sadistic and an absolute nightmare.

He is not only obsessive but also possessive.

Mal is also manipulative and controlling. He can and will threaten you if you don't follow what he says.

"Are you sure you want to ignore me,darling?"

"That's cute,you think I'm joking,huh?"

"I won't hesitate to cut off that cute little tongue of yours,since you won't start talking,you won't have any use for it."

Let's go more in depth about his manipulation.

He blames you for your crying and all the problems.

"You really want me to suffer? Can't you just come here and hug me?"

"You were the one who caused all this. None of this would have happened if you just listened."

Mal finds joy in causing you to cry <\3

However!!! Only HE is allowed to make you cry , no one else. If anyone else makes you cry/upset,Mal would find them in a heart beat. And possibly,either smash their head against a table or just stab them in every possible area of their body. Mal would cause so much pain onto them for ever hurting you.

Mal is one of the smartest personalities of Mike's,so he could be classified as the most dangerous yandere. He also has amazing strength,Mal wouldn't hesitate to break someone's limbs if they even dare to dream of interacting with his darling.

Mal is terribly sadistic,he causes havoc just for the fun of it. And with how sensitive you are,Mal just enjoys causing you distress and to make you cry as well.

Would Mal punish you:

Simple answer,yes.

Mal is a horrible person.

He is violent and sadistic.

Mal has a horrible temper as well,he gets angry really fast and will take it out on anyone.

However,Mal wouldn't always physically hurt you.

He loves you dearly and wouldn't want to hurt you but sometimes he just can't take it,seeing you broken and crying just fuels into his cruel and disgusting ego.

In terms of punishments,Mal would definitely break your wrists or ankles if you ever tried escaping/talking to others/disobeying him.

But other times he just degrades you,calling you useless and pathetic.

"You need me,look how pathetic you are without me."

Don't worry though,Mal would take care of you while your broken limbs heals.

Just try not to go out of line again <3 You wouldn't want him to break anything else

However,since you are willing to be with him. Mal would be more gentle with you <3 but this doesn't mean that he wouldn't be violent.

If you were to look past all the negative things,and focus on the positive things. You'll be able to see that Mal is protecting you from danger. He is deceptively strong and is able to easily overthrow many of the other contestants.

Mal is incredibly cruel as well,he will mock his darling. Whenever you were to cry,Mal would laugh at you and treat you as if you were a little child.

"What? You gonna cry even more?"

"So weak..this is why you need me."

Mal does have his soft side though,since he is in love with you,Mal would sometimes awkwardly pull you into his arms and pat your back with odd tenderness to calm you down from your crying.

Random but: Mal would kiss your forehead sometimes to calm you down. But don't get the wrong idea! Mal is smart,he uses your weakness to his advantage,by showing you affection at your lowest moments,you are bound to develop Stockholm syndrome(?) and he has to calm you down or else you're gonna be attracting attention! He can't have his cover getting blown!

Mal would sometimes trip you and watch you cry due to the pain and he would stifle his laugh before bending down to assure you that you're fine.

Mal controls you to stay with him,he would force you to say that you only need him,no one else,not even Mike nor the other personalities.

Mal makes up stories of other people to create a facade for you so that you will never leave him.

Mal likes having you around him at all times,he needs to have a hand around your waist.

Another random thing:

Mal whistles softly when he's holding you at night to lull you to sleep <3

He cherishes every moment he has with you so he's typically soft and loving only at night. He loves you but he doesn't want you to think he's vulnerable or weak!

Probably a bit random but I see Mal as someone who is incredibly touch-starved. So if you were to even show a tinge of affections towards him(Like holding his face/smiling at him/returning affections like hugs/holding his hand) Mal would melt and just stare at you with a dumbfounded expression but it would quickly be replaced by him averting eye contact with you and grabbing your wrist to force both of your hands to be entwined.

"I'm so terribly in love with you. I would hurt and kill anyone."

"Don't leave darling,you know what would happened if you do."

"I'll consider not killing them if you give me a kiss,love."

Mal is totally different in private and in public. In private,he is a cruel and malevolent being. He will mock you and hurt you.

But in public,he puts on the good boy act,smiling brightly and acting like Mike. Holding your hand in his and swinging it slightly while he walks with you.

"This is amazing! Look at the view,y/n!"

If you were to stay silent and look scared. Mal would grip your hand tightly,his smile twitching ever so slightly;

"Isn't it amazing,love?"

Then he would whisper something along the lines of ,"Play along or else."

As stated,Mal is incredibly intelligent,so you can bid your freedom farewell once you've captured his attention.

Petnames he uses:

Crybaby

Darling

Love

My hope

Sweetheart

Bunny

Scaredy-cat

(Mal was longer,definitely not because he's my favourite,nope definitely not!)

𝐃𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐦 𝐖𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐈𝐧𝐜𝐥𝐮𝐝𝐞

↳ includes headcanons for mike & his alters, zoey, alejandro, and duncan

↳ warnings: total drama type violence

↳ song: heat waves—glass animals

masterlist!

𝐌𝐢𝐤𝐞

• He is the most sweetest boy to date ever

• Looks at you like you're the sun to his moon

• He loves to surprise you by hugging you from behind and squeezing. Durring a challenge or otherwise

• Big on cuddling. He's so used to having so many people around him constantly with his alters and all, but physically touch has always been hard. So those moments where he can just sit down and chill with you is like heaven

• Give him a kiss and he'll stop functioning all together. A complete and total mess over you, and is so happy that you feel the same way

• Isn't big on using pet names himself, but swoons when you call him babe or anything like that

• Has a talk in the head space with everyone to make sure they're all okay with him dating you. You were actually the one to suggest he do that, wanting to make sure all of him was okay with this

• Mike's not very jealous, either. Something you appreciate. He trusts you unbelievable amounts and isn't one for confrontation, so situations are normally diffused pretty quickly

𝐒𝐯𝐞𝐭𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐚

• She is constantly wanting to impress you

• "Love! Look at vhat I can do!" Svetlana called out, balancing on top of the cabins roof with a perfect pirouette. You just clapped from below, cheering her on happily

• "Way to go!"

• Calls you her little flower <3

• If you're up for it, her ideal way to spend time together is to go on a little run. Or any sort of physical activity, really

• Complains that she never gets any time with you in between challenges and the others fronting, so the two of you make do with what time you have. Which normally ends up being really sweet moments

• Her favorite place to kiss you is on your nose, often times giggling in the process

• Getting possessive of you isn't her strong suit. She prefers to just hold your hand while you counter any advances, kissing you on the cheek gleefully as you walk away later

𝐕𝐢𝐭𝐨

• He was so surprised when his flirting actually worked for once

• That doesn't mean he stopped, but at least now he could say he's flirting with his partner and not someone he met five minutes ago

• Much like Svetlana, he spends a lot of his time trying to impress you with things. Albeit not his acrobatic abilities

• "I think my muscles grew overnight babe! What do you think?" He grinned, flexing for you boastfuly and completely missing the way you struggled to keep in a laugh

• Uses pet names for you nonstop. Babe, sugar, sexy, etc. Although you could argue that the last one is less of a pet name and Vito just being Vito

• Jealousy isn't as common a theme with Vito as much as insecurity is. He's always a little bit worried you'll see someone buffer or more tan than him and leave. So you have to reassure him occasionally that you love him for who he is

• His favorite place to kiss you is your lips. It's not anything new, but he can't get enough. Most of the times you have to tap out just so you can breathe while Vito watches on, smug as ever

• "Yeah, I did that to em. Who's the man? Vitos the ma— ow! Okay okay I'll shut up."

𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐨𝐛𝐚

• Aside from Vito, he was the first to make a move on you

• Mike was too nervous and Svetlana hadn't really met you yet, so he took it into his own hands to start something up

• Once you're in a relationship, he will never stop giving you trinkets. They could be from a gift shop, or one of his little adventures. It doesn't matter. He loves bringing you things for you to keep either way. And seeing them sitting on your desk or bed later just makes his heart swell

• Makes up the most bizarre phrases all the time to hear your laugh

• Constanly has an arm around your shoulder head or waist. Very touchy feely. Likes to keep you close to him in case anything happens

• You'll find him tipping his hat your way and winking at you, just to see your neck turn red

• Favorite place to kiss you is on your head/hairline. Doesn't matter if you're taller or shorter than him. He'll find a way

• Doesn't get jealous easily, but that's mostly because he's so sure of himself and his ability to woo you. Manitoba knows he's lucky to have you though, and won't hesitate to step in if things go too far

𝐌𝐚𝐥

• You have no idea how you managed to snag this man

• Didn't even know he liked you back. Or knew that you even existed, for that matter. One morning you just woke up and were suddenly his partner

• Mal isn't really into physical affection as much as the others. The only time he touches you is when he's being territorial—something that happens a lot. Duncan barely looked at you once and he almost bit the punks head off

• Sometimes you'll forget you're even dating him until he monotonely compliments you out of the blue

• His favorite place to kiss you is your neck. He's got a possessive side to him, and loves to see the dark marks he leaves behind. Finds it even more enjoyable when you and the other alters freak out over them

• Will not put up with any nicknames you give him, but insists on calling you doll face and toots. Doesn't matter what your gender is. That's final

• Loves you in his own weird way

𝐙𝐨𝐞𝐲

• She is so stoked to finally be dating you, oh my god

• The sweetest and most nervous thing ever—much like that season four scene where she was fretting if her flower was too much, she'll worry over your relationship constantly. Is she giving you enough attention? Making you feel loved enough? Was that gift she left you the other day alright?

• Will not stop worrying until you assure her that she's just fine. It's that, or you'll have to pull her in for a kiss. That works too

• Gets really flustered when she catches you staring at her lovingly. She feels like she should be the one doing that, not the other way around

• Kisses all over you!! She will just pepper them across your face all day unless you stop her

• Always looking out for your back durring challenges. And if something ever happens, she's by your side in an instant

𝐀𝐥𝐞𝐣𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐫𝐨

• Was so persistent at taking you out on a date

• Genuinely liked you and wanted to get to know you more than just as another competitor, so he asked you out

• Smiled the brightest he ever had when you accepted

• Play with his hair please, dear lord. You're the only person allowed to touch his precious locks, but he loves when you do. Could lie with his head in your lap twenty four seven, falling asleep to the feeling of your fingers against his scalp

• Anytime someone else flirts with you, he'll just smoothly slide up next to you and pull you into a deep kiss until they've been scared off. Hasn't failed yet

• Your temple is his favorite place to kiss you, though. It feels so intimate to him compared to anything else

• Will say the sweetest things to you in his mother tounge. And if you don't speak Spanish, he will happily translate them for you

𝐃𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐚𝐧

• He is in so much denial about you at first

• Of course he doesn't like you. Why would he! You're only the funniest, most unpredictable person he knows; who manages to make him at ease everytime he's around you

Summary: Reader asks to sleep in the same bed for the first time.

☢︎ | Total Drama | ~1,3k words | gender-neutral reader ♡ | Mike | Mal | Vito ⚠ | none

[𝙼𝚒𝚔𝚎]

You were already past the phase of confessing your feelings to each other.

Of course you and Mike were pining for each other hard, but you weren't really that affectionate as a couple.

It's not because you didn't want to, but you were both awkward messes when it comes to that stuff. The most you did was hold hands or lean against each other while sitting close, which was still nice.

So Mike was very surprised when you out of the blue (and very low-key) suggested to sleep in the same bed one day.

"Uh, like, in the cabin? Together?" He asked a bit taken aback by the sudden offer, his face becoming slightly warmer.

You quickly explained that if he's not comfortable he can just brush it off and ignore you asked, trying to save face and potential rejection from your boyfriend.

"Oh, no- No, I mean-" He started to ramble a bit, trying to not look like he's about to burst with happiness and keep cool so you wouldn't think he's weird when someone finally took the initiative to get closer to him. "I- I would love to. If- If you're okay with it, I mean."

"Of course I am. I suggested it, didn't I?" You said with a comforting and apologetic smile to him.

After your mutual agreement you were looking forward to sharing a bed, which was exciting and a bit "scary", as often new experiences are.

Of course, sleeping in one bed was somewhat of a "taboo", given that other contestants were there to judge you both, but ultimately you decided that their stares won't stop you from enjoying yourselves.

Unsurprisingly, Mike is a small-spoon. He was rarely (if ever) held or liked by anyone in that way, so he appreciates the contact with the person he treasures the most. It makes him feel protected, although inside he probably thinks he's a bother for even wanting affection, but you make sure to be understanding and reassure him if it ever comes up in the conversation.

Mike doesn't move much while he's still in the process of falling asleep, keeping in mind your comfort before his own. Of course he becomes more chilled out about it the more you both sleep together.

Although he's mindful of you while awake, he can't stop himself from muttering few things while he's asleep.

He's also very clingy once he's perfectly assured he's not a bother.

Hopefully you're a heavy-sleeper.

[𝙼𝚊𝚕]

Similar to Mike, Mal wasn't hugged much as a kid and in general. He's not exactly big on PDA, so you both didn't have a lot of romantic moments.

Your relationship was more like two friends who are very comfortable with each other. Well, as comfortable as you can be when it comes to a first relationship.

He's not against it, but he usually doesn't think of it as necessary and doesn't initiate anything. Unless he's acting slightly possessive and jealous when he feels threatened by the other contestants, which usually shows by him bringing you closer by your waist to him in a nonchalant manner that also shows others what 'belongs to him'.

You also didn't show a lot of affection towards him, because of your shy behavior about the topic.

He almost started to doubt your interest in him (which was already a surprise on it's own when your mutual attraction towards each other became clear, given how other people are usually not very fond of him), until you mustered the courage to ask.

He was- amused. His face had a smug smile that almost made you reconsider your request, in fear of being judged for asking something "silly".

"Oh, you wanna sleep together?" He asked, looking you up and down in a slightly dominant and proud of himself manner that made you feel a bit bashful about your words.

Before you opened your mouth to add something else, he cut you off. "Fine, fine… I guess I might consider your request." He smugly teased in a bit mocking way, as if you were so desperate to cuddle with him in bed that he was mercifully letting you touch him.

Of course while Mal's words might have sounded a bit narcissistic and degrading towards you, it was merely a front for his anxiousness about the act that he tried to hide so well.

I'm sure it's obvious he won't let you know about it whatsoever though. Years of acting emotionless and void of any weakness has made him still wary of showing vulnerability, even towards you.

Although he could 'sweep anyone off their feet if he wanted to', he's not really as smooth with more tender acts, such as cozily sleeping together, which he fiercely masks with his confidence.

While you felt a bit put down by his constant tough demeanor, you were (at least somewhat) aware of the reason why he was this way, that's why you patiently endured his behavior. You wouldn't be dating him if you weren't.

As for the others, he didn't even worry about the opinion of other contestants while you both were supposed to share a bed, as the whole camp knew he's not the one to make fun of.

Of course he insisted on being the big spoon, feeling more comfortable with him just embracing you, as if he's in the control of the situation.

While you were finally laying on bed together he got more relaxed as time went by, and you both adjusted to the feeling of your warm bodies against each other.

Your first few times were slightly tense, but with each next night spent together it became more casual and normal for you both.

Mal even warmed up to being the small spoon from time to time (if you prefer to be the big one) and it didn't put such strain on his pride while got used to being so close to you.

It doesn't mean he will be the small spoon every time though.

He loves the feeling of holding you close to him and knowing you're not gonna leave him. This, and the fact that he still has to keep up an appearance, after all.

[𝚅𝚒𝚝𝚘]

Unlike Mike and Mal, Vito's love language was always being touchy-feely or using pet-names, so being brave in the cuddle department wasn't a big deal.

Of course he didn't push you if you weren't comfortable with that, but he wasn't scared of showing his affection towards you.

Whether you both were already more confident with each other or not, he was still a bit surprised when you voiced your idea of sleeping together in bed. Of course you specified it was only sleeping, so he wouldn't get the wrong idea.

"Damn babe, finally!" He said a bit loudly, because of his excitement at the thought. Was he finally getting some affection from you? Did you finally decide to show Vito some love without being so hesitant?

You chuckled slightly, embarrassed from his reaction. You knew Vito would probably not reject you, but to hear such enthusiasm from him was reassuring.

Vito couldn't care less what other contestants would think if they saw you both cuddling on one bed, why would he? Only you and him mattered to him, and if anyone had anything to say, that just meant they're jealous.

He quickly jumped on the bed when the time arrived, expecting you to follow. He made sure to give you some space on his bed, laying on his back.

You slowly crawled near him, laying near his side and gently placing your hand on his chest as he exhaled contently.

"You should suggest stuff like that more often. I won't leave ya hangin', you know~" He teased slightly, a bit of his regular flirtatiousness seeping thru his words. He loved being open about his love and affection for you.

Be prepared for lots of tossing and turning while he sleeps though. He's a great hugger, but once he falls asleep it's tough to keep a position that works for you both. You usually have to "keep him steady" by hugging his waist while he's laying on his back or hugging him from behind, which he has no problem with.

Of course Chris wouldn't give you shovels. Why would he? That would just make things too easy.

You watched as the host tossed the digging tools to the other team opposite the beach from you, landing right in their arms. They all cheered and high-fived each other, doing nothing to lift the seemingly permanent frown on your lips.

The sun beat down on your head with the same persistence as yesterday. The bright yellow color of the platform you and your teammates were standing on did nothing to ward the rays away, only attracting more heat.

It wasn't enough that you had been woken up at the asscrack of dawn by the flash of Sierra's phone camera—you had yet to find out why exactly she had been taking pictures of you—but now you had to deal with the consequences of losing yesterdays challenge too. Today it was a treasure hunt, apparently. Something you weren't overly excited about.

Looking over to the rest of your team, you made the mistake of catching Mike's eye. You were quick to look anywhere else.

Mike watched as you did your best to avoid his gaze, his cheeks a bit hotter than usual.

[Mike]

It shows the Italian Canadian burying his head in his hands with a red face, back hunched over.

"I made the mistake of running into them when I went to take a shower this morning." He sputtered, already looking embarrassed to be reliving the event. "I had my shirt off and Vito came out. I'm pretty sure you can figure out what happened next."

Groaning, Mike hit his head on the nearby wall, muttering at himself under his breath.

"He wouldn't leave until I forced him out. Stupid personalities."

"Alright, I met Vito. So what?" You crossed your arms defiantly, refusing to let Chris or anyone else see more from you. "It's not like he's that bad. Er, beyond the uh, incessant flirting." A pause as you uncrossed your arms and looked to the side. "It was kind of cute though."

A slight smile threatened to cross your face for just one moment until you remembered just exactly where you were.

"Oh don't look at me like that." You snapped at the camera with a scowl.

CONFESSIONAL OVER

Sadleing up next to Zoey on the platform, you did your best to pay attention as Chris rambled along, demonstrating the various booby traps hidden around the beach as Sam triggered one.

Hah. Booby.

"That's great and all, but what are we supposed to dig with?" Courtney snapped nearby. You nodded, agreeing with her for once. Chris just smiled down at you all and waggled his fingers.

“Sorry!” He said, not sounding sorry at all. “Shovels are for winners only! Guess you have to use your hands.” He sang the last part. It was times like these that you were glad you didn't mind getting your hands dirty.

You didn't get much time to retaliate against his little punishment. With a quick blow of his trusty airhorn, the challenge began. The vultures took to immediately jumping off onto the beach, while the rest of you huddled up shoulder to shoulder. Fun. Well, at least it would have been if Zoey's flower hadn't been poking you in the eye.

“We should divide our area into sections and each dig in one!” Mentioned red head quipped, presenting her game plan to you all. Courtney grunted and glared.

“No! Let's separate the beach into quadrants and each pick a quadrant!"

"That is literally the exact same thing she just said." You pointed a finger at her, pulling it back when she flicked it harshly.

"Fine! We'll use the plan that me and Zoey came up with."

"It's Zoey and I, actually." Cameron piped in, eaning in a mixed gaze of pity and annoyance from you.

"Cameron, no offense but shut up."

He smiled sheepishly, mining a zipper over his mouth. You snorted at his actions, going to hop off the platform while taking special care to avoid Chris's crab trap.

Sand began flying in each which way, hands digging for purchase in the ground like the beach had swallowed hidden gold. You yourself were so immersed in the task at hand that you didn't even see Mike slot himself next to you roughly. Well, that's a lie. You were hyper aware of his presence next to you for some reason. The notion made your insides squirm.

"Uhm, hey." He tittered nervously, doing his best to gather a little attention from you. He was greeted with a silent nod hello from you, gulping as he went to continue.

"I'm really sorry about this morning. Like, really sorry. Vito's not the best around other people." Mike scratched the back of his neck. "I mean, he seemed to like you, but that doesn't excuse his behavior."

"Oh he liked me alright." You humored, remembering the way the alter had wrapped an arm around your shoulders and attempted to woo you with a few horrible pick up lines. "But it's fine. No harm done, dude. I thought you had that personality thing under control after you and Zoey started dating, though. What happened to that?"

MIke turned beet red at your words, hands momentarily popping out of the sand to make a rushed gesture of denial.

"Zoey? And me? We're not a couple! Nope, never have been! Thought it was going to work out but it didn't!! I can promise you." Mike was practically gasping for air in between words. He acted as if you were interrogating him, and it made you cock an eyebrow upwards.

"Alright then." You shrugged, dropping it to go back to digging.

"And uh, my personalities don't work like that. Being controlled I mean." Mike cleared his throat, now full on taking his place next to you.

"Enlighten me." You challenged suddenly, turning to look at him. He blinked, clearly not expecting a response like that.

"Really?"

"Why not?" You pondered with a shrug. It wasn't as if you were doing anything else anyways.

He considered it for a moment, looking at the grains dotting his hands before speaking.

"Well, uh, they're not any less people than you and I are just because they live in my head." Mike began cautiously; expecting you to laugh at his explanation any minute. But you just gave him your full attention—even making sure to stay quiet so he could talk over the noise of everyone else.

"Instead of acting like a dictatorship, we need to all work together to balance everything. It's not like any one person can just control all that. Much less me!" He giggled. "I mean, I can barely get the top off a pickle jar sometimes." That seemed to send him into a little giggle fit, a laugh or two slipping out of your mouth alongside him.

"That's cool Mike." You admitted. He practically beamed at your praise, puffing his chest out with a goofy grin.

"So when do I get to meet the rest of them?"

"Huh?"

"The rest of them." You echoed. "I mean, they're a part of you, right? That's what you said. And you're my friend, I hope. I'd like to get to know the rest of you, Mike. If all of them are as sweet as you, I shouldn't have a problem with it."

Ignoring the way his stomach fell at the word friend, Mike couldn't help but grab your shoulders to bring you in for a hug. Not expecting it, you tensed up a little at the sudden intrusion before relaxing into it slightly. Hugs had never been your thing, but this was nice.

"That might be the nicest way anyone has ever responded to my condition," Mike muttered. In the headspace, everyone was overjoyed—just as happy as Mike at your acceptance of them.

"Sure thing bud." Pulling away from him with a toothy grin, you clapped his back. "Now let's get back to digging before Chris complains we're tanking his views."

It didn't take long after that for the bubble of peace that had fallen over you two to be popped. Namely by the shrill yelps of Cameron as he was tossed through the air with a bundle of nasty-smelling clothes.

"Ooh!" Chris commented from somewhere above you all, holding his nose. "Chef's dirty laundry! Pretty stinky."

"You okay little man?" You called after Cameron, who was trudging towards you and Mike with his glasses askew.

"I will be once we win this challenge." He groaned, looking like he wanted to collapse to his knees. "Ow."

"Hey guys!" Mike interrupted the both of you. Picking up something from the ground, he presented it to you all with a triumphant smile. It was a Steve Irwing type hat. And by the looks of it, the thing had come from that laundry bomb that Cameron had just been rocked with.

"We could use some of Manitoba Smith's treasure hunting skills right now!" Cameron gasped happily. "Way to go Mike!"

"Looks like you'll be meeting some of them sooner than expected." Mike turned to you, scrunching his eyes up with a smile. From next to you Cameron furrowed his brows, opening his mouth to probably ask what he was talking about. You just elbowed him in the side, whispering that you'd tell him later.

A large gasp left Mike as soon as he placed the hat atop his head. In moments, his features had gone from nervous and excited to a smug grin that showed off his gap tooth.

Shielding the sun from his eyes with a tilt of his hat, Manitoba Smith wasted no time winding up his arms in a propeller like motion. A deep hole was quickly made in the beach as he dived down, coming back up seconds later with a large marble fragment in his hands.

"G'day beauty!" He smirked proudly, tossing the piece up and onto the team's platform with a thud. You were impressed such a scrawny frame as his could support all that weight. Looks like they were full of surprises.

"And you must be the fella that Mike and Vito can't stop gabbing about." The adventurer wasted no time walking up to you, leaning down onto your level with a playful smile—momentarily reminding you of how tall Mike really was.

"Names Manitoba, love, but you can call me whatever you like." His accent poured from him like honey while his eyes twinkled with an emotion you couldn't place your finger on.

"Hey there." You completely ignored Manitoba's flirty comment in favor of sticking your hand out for him to take, shaking it firmly. "Nice to meet you. I've heard good things."

Manitoba laughed, shaking your hand back with twice as much vigor as you had.

"I can see why they won't shut up about ya! Mike sure knows how to pick em." By now Cameron had slipped away to continue rustling through the beach, leaving just the two of you to become acquainted.

"I don't care what they say as long as we win this challenge. Plan on helping us?" You allowed a smile to slip loose as you let go of his calloused hand—your own feeling strangely empty afterwards.

"For you sheila? Anything. Wink wink."

You paused.

"Did you just audibly say 'wink wink'?"

Manitoba smiled even wider at you. If that was possible.

"Maybe."

━━━━━━━━━▼━━━━━━━━━

The sound of an impatient groan cut through the beach's atmosphere like nails on a chalkboard. You cringed, face contorting with anger as sweat dripped down your neck. It was only fitting that the sound had come from everyone's favorite sadistic host. Because of course it had.

"What is taking so long!" Chris complained, fanning himself with his hand. It had been about an hour since Manitoba had shown up, and so far nothing more had happened. No pieces were found, traps set off, or contestants seriously harmed. All things you were sure Chris didn't appreciate.

Various people answered him angrily, the responses ranging from it's hot, to screw you old man. You may have organized that last one.

"Blah blah, whine whine! Hurry up! I have dinner plans."

Just as you were about to respond with a fuck you and your dinner plans, you felt your hands strike something cold and solid with a thud. You were quick to look over at Manitoba with excitement. He hadn't strayed very far from you since the challenge had started, so he wasted no time in bounding over to help you dig the newfound piece out.

"Now that's more like it!" Manitoba laughed with glee, hauling yet another marble chunk up to the platform. "Just a few more to g—"

He suddenly stopped, lips twisting into a frown as he stared at seemingly nothing. You waited while he sniffed the air, too confused to question what was going on.

"Something's off." Was all he said before heading past you. The Australian was now making a beeline straight for where the divider on the beach was, a certain ginger standing just opposite it with a sly grin.

You, being you, found your way over to them—interested to see where this was going.

"What are you up to, kookaburra?" Manitoba said, squinting at Scott. You looked at the former bizarrely for his choice of words before looking back to catch the tail end of Scott shrugging.

"Whatever do you mean?" He smirked, sounding very much like he knew exactly what he meant.

Both of you watched as the dark haired teenager scowled. A quick lick was made to his finger before he stick it in the ground, fishing around as if expecting to find something that way.

"Hah! Nice try you wiley dingo."

With a hearty grunt, you watched as Manitoba hauled a sparkling white puzzle piece from underneath Scott.

Oh that bastard has stolen it!

An actually pretty clever move to come from Scott if you were being honest.

"Way to go Manitoba!" You lightly punched him on the arm while ignoring the way Scott glared at the both of you. "How in the hell did you know he'd done it?"

"Aw it was nothin. Maybe I could teach you sometime, sweetheart." Manitoba smirked proudly. His chest was puffed out in pride, feeling quite smug under your praise.

Just as you were about to comment on the nickname—probably with a well timed quip—Scott screamed from behind you.

"Bees! Bees!!"

The next thing you knew, you were face planting on the hot sand with Manatoba, your head throbbing like it had been run over by a full fledged greyhound.

━━━━━━━━━▲━━━━━━━━━

[Meanwhile, in Mike's head]

“Go with the fishing!” A peppy Svetlana cheered standing up. She was immediately booed back down, her companions not as excited as her to be losing.

“Aye yo, it's go fish! Not, go with the fishing.” Veto said from next to the gymnast with air quotes, mouth pulled into a sort of pout/scowl. She just stuck her tongue out at him.

The three other personalities were seated at a table with cards, surrounded by what looked like walls made from brains. All was quiet, just the sound of their bickering filling the weirdly bare walls.

It was then that Manitoba dropped from the sky, landing on the ground with an oomph.

“Oh that can't be good.” Chester said in a warbly voice.

“Hey, do you feel that?” Manitoba said, standing up and brushing himself off. He looked shaken. Like a meteorologist that had just spotted a tsunami on the horizon.

“The malevolent one. He’s coming!” He finished with a worried expression. Svetlana let out an ear piercing scream at that declaration.

The table then began to shake. Then the walls shook, the people shook, until finally the whole room was moving as if caught in an earthquake. During all of this, the personalities could barely make out the designated portrait of Mike burning up before them, only to be replaced with a shadowy figure with an evil smile.

All of them froze with fear, not even noticing the faint yelling in the background.

"Manitoba? Manitoba! Hey, wake up!"

━━━━━━━━━▼━━━━━━━━━

Mike woke with a gasp, sitting up so quickly he bonked an equally rattled you in the forehead.

"Ow! Jesus christ man, that hurt!" You stepped backward, rubbing your already bruised head as if it would make the ache go away.

"I'm sorry." Mike groaned in response, unable to say much of anything else.

His heart was beating fast. Too fast for him to comprehend. He felt horrible, like his body knew something was wrong and was just waiting for his brain to catch up.

"Hey. Mike." You snapped in front of his face, becoming a bit worried when he didn't immediately snap out of it. "It is Mike, right?"

That got him to zone back in. He shook his head harshly, and for a moment you wondered if he was trying to get sand out of his ears. Not a bad idea considering you had also landed face first in it.

"Yeah. It's me." A hand to the top of his head confirmed that the fedora was still there where Manitoba had left it. Weird. Where was he then?

"You all good bud?" You asked whilst hauling him up. A quick glance at the back of his head confirmed that he had a welt just like yours. And a nasty looking one at that.

"I'm fine. Not like that matters a lot." He saw you frown at that. "Everything good with you?"

You took a minute to consider answering with a lie to make him feel better, but ultimately gave in.

"Like shit."

That earned you a smile from Mike. It made your stomach twist with something not quite like amusement, but something else. It felt sweeter. More genuine.

Ew.

"C’mon, we need to get back to digging.” He lead the way back over to your team's side, neither of you noticing the screams of Scott in the background as he was chased by a yellow swarm of angry bees. Well that was a lie. You noticed. You just didn't care. He had just hit you in the back of the head with a shovel after all.

━━━━━━━━━▲━━━━━━━━━

[Name]

"I regret being nice to Scott now." You scowled. "Especially after this."

You turned to show the back of your head, which was actively swelling a brilliant red color.

"I'm more worried about Mike though. And the rest of them. He got hit pretty hard. Concussions are a nasty business. I don't want them dealing with the affects. My cousin got one when he was a toddler and was in the hospital for weeks. Now he ends every sentence with the word peacock." You paused to scrunch your face up. "I really hope we don't start to do that."

CONFESSION OVER

━━━━━━━━━▼━━━━━━━━━

You had located back to the platform after checking with one of the few medics Chris kept on set, nearly dragging Mike with you. Now the both of you were standing next to Cameron as he examined the puzzle pieces you had so far.

“We've got six out of seven!” He yelled down to the rest of the team. Zoey looked up at you all with a thumbs up, keen to stay where she was.

“You guys start putting them together, we’ll keep digging.” She yelled back up, referring to the rest of the team. You just nodded and almost went to start before noticing Sam get thrown into the water, ricocheting off a nearby boat. You made a noise of sympathy and watched as he ran out of the water in a panic, screaming something about a jellyfish sting.

"And I'm going to ignore that." You whistled, diving back into the challenge while others walked on. If you stopped to watch everyone on this show who got injured, you'd be stuck there all day.

After that, everyone hopped onto the platform to look at their gathered pieces.

“A book, a crown, what are we supposed to be building!?” Cameron asked rhetorically while scratching his head. Then he snapped his fingers, coming to a conclusion. “I've got it! It's the Statue of Liberty!”

At that, all of the Heroes—minus Sam—to assemble the statue, being extra careful to not break any pieces. You noticed the Vultures quickly catching up on the other side of the beach as well, calling out for everyone to pick up the pace. It was going to be a quick call.

“One piece to go!” Courtney cried out. “It has to be in Sam’s quadrant!”

“Sorry guys, I'm moving as fast as I can!” The limp gamer apologized as he dragged himself across the beach in a sluggish fashion. If Chris still wanted fourteen contestants by the end of this challenge, then he really needed to get Sam checked out. Something told you he wouldn't.

“All we need is the torch! Hurry!” Cameron yelled as Zoey and Mike rushed over to Sam. With much difficulty, they flipped him over to reveal a pointy piece of their puzzle. You noticed that the Vultures had their last piece in hand too. Cries from your teammates of throw it! encouraged Zoey as she skillfully tossed the arm. It landed perfectly on the statue as if it had been there the whole time, signifying the ring of bells to sound.

“Yes!”

“Way to go!”

“Thanks Zoey!"

“Spa hotel, here we come!”

“The heroic hamsters win!” An excited Chris says from the host box, probably relieved that he can go eat dinner now. That just caused even more of a celebration. In the middle of a little victory dance, you felt the floor from beneath you disappear. Looking down, you saw Mike was the one who had picked you off the platform, pulling you into a rather strong hug as he whooped.

The thought of telling him to put you down crossed your mind before you sighed.

"Ah, what the hell."

You joined in on the celebration, flipping the switch and picking Mike up instead. You heard him yelp before accepting it with a laugh.

If every challenge was going to be like this, maybe you should try and win more

━━━━━━━━━▲━━━━━━━━━

For the millionth time, you cursed Chris for being so cheap with the sitting arrangements on this show.

The peanut gallery bench felt like sitting on a combination of loose bed springs and crushed glass. But hey. At least you weren't at risk of being eliminated. Or going to Boney Island. Sam had taken the fall for you all on that one.

You had been listening to Cameron talk about the healing properties of tea for the past half hour. Coincidently, that had also been when you and Mike showed your battle scars from today's events. Something that had sent the scrawny boy - and Zoey - into a panic.

Fortunately, Cameron's textbook ramblings were cut off by Chris. The one time you'd be happy to hear his voice.

“Welcome Hamsters! Sit back and enjoy the show.” He said with glee, way happier than a normal person should be in a situation like thi. “Vultures! It's time for you to vote off your fist villain.” He said, turning to face the other team by the campfire. You shifted uncomfortably, praying to whatever that they booted someone off quickly. All you had eaten since you had gotten there was slop, and you were looking forward to a continental dinner. Dinner? Did spa hotels do a continental dinner?

It was then that you blanched, thoughts going white as a sudden pain seared through your head. It was as if someone was pounding a hot spike into your skull.

You sat rigid with pain, doing your best to figure out what the fuck was going on as everything happened around you.

Then the feeling subsided, leaving you as quick as it had come. The lingering pain stayed prominent though Like a sad punch in the face. Briefly, you remembered the shovel to the head you had taken and blamed it on that. But the conclusion left you wanting. It didn't seem right. Deep in your chest, you knew that didn't feel right. To quote Manitoba from earlier, something was off.

You shook your head - frustrated at your sudden skepticism. Since when had you been a damn psychic?

“One by one. They will all fall.”

“You say something Mike?”

Zoey's question got you to look over at him, just missing the way he gasped sharply before resuming his normal position.

"Sorry, what did you ask me?" He giggled nervously, head swimming for some reason.

"Oh, uhm, nothing. I just thought I heard something." Zoey dropped the topic, shrugging and going back to watching the elimination process. You followed her, completely oblivious to what exactly had just happened.

What a day.

━━━━━━━━━▼━━━━━━━━━

You sat in your bed, a real bed with real pillows, and opened your journal silently. It was dark both inside and out, the sound of snores soft and loud filling the air. But you were wide awake, mind buzzing with thoughts.

A pen was brought out from your travel bag as you began to write under the guidance of the moonlight, ink gliding across the paper's surface harshly.

Met Manitoba and Vito today. They were something. Not a bad something, but they were definitely something.

Even in your own head you were short and to the point.

Also got hit by a shovel. Been hurting ever since. Might get that checked out. I doubt Chris has more than interns and Chef working medical though. Probably just going to risk it. Could sue if I get brain damage anyways. Not a bad deal.

Sighing, you shut the book as softly as possible and put it away. Not much more to say. It wasn't as if you were going to go into detail about Sam peeing on himself to get rid of a jellyfish sting.

Rolling over on your side was easy. Now came the hard part. Sleep. Normally you struggled with the feeling of drowsiness, but that night it came easier than most. And at that point, you were too tired to be suspicious.

You only hoped Sierra didn't find a way to take pictures of you while you were asleep this time.

↳ summary: you had signed up for the newest season of total drama. why someone such as yourself would audition for a show as evil as this, you still don't know. nonetheless, you caught the attention of the one and only chris mclean. so here you are now. hovering in a plane over an island. surrounded by both friend and foe. oh no.

↳ warnings: total drama type violence, idiots that are bad with feelings, and evil intentions

↳ notes: this is a rewrite and continuation of an old fic of mine from nearly three years ago. It used to be titled perfect to me, and was an cringey oc based story, but I decided to change some things up. coming in at a total of a whopping 42k words and 118 pages on google docs, let's see if I can rewrite and finish this whole thing

• For the most part they, are right there with you

• Manitoba relates to not being able to sit still, Mike over explains things to an extent, Svetlana can't focus on anything but her hyperifaxtion sometimes, etc

• Once you have them by your side, really nothing can drive them away. Much less some ADHD. They'll want to learn how to be the beat verson of them they can for you. And it would be like that with or without you being neurodivergent

• Mal finds you a bit much to handle sometimes. He's not one for chatty folk or moving really quick, so when you're on one of your slower days—mentally and physically—that's when he prefers to front with you

• But if you're acting like that because you're feeling some sort of negative way, he'll do his best to try and not worsen that mood. With some help from the others, of course

• Mal isn't one for comforting. At least not effectively

• Chester can and will complain rather loudly about rowdy kids and their new fangled fads. You have to patently explain to him that it's not a fad and in fact a diagnosed condition that you live with

• "Like my arthritis?" He squinted at you, permanent frown lessening for once

• "Uh, sure. Yeah Chester. Like that."

• Manitoba and you sit side by side some days and just swap different facts about the things you love. He'll tell you all about fighting coyotes and tracking rabbits by their scent only to turn around and listen whole heartedly about whatever your going on about. Doesn't matter what. He's enthralled to simply be with you

• Same with Mike, but the two of you end up talking over each other a lot. He mirrors your energy, both high and low, so conversations never fizzle out

• Vito is different. He doesn't mean to, but he writes you off a lot. Doesn't understand that telling you to hush so he can get a tan in hurts your feelings. It takes being scolded by Mike or Svetlana in the headspace for him to realize that he messed up

• Apologizes when those instances happen, and means it. He's more like Chester when it comes to you—it takes a slow but steady understanding of how to get used to your traits

• Anytime you're hankering for a little activity Svetlana is there to save the day. She's hyper aware of moments in which you can't seem to sit still and almost always offers to go for a walk or for you to do something with your hands

• She is the single best fidget toy supplier for you. Name it and she's got in on her personal for you

You appear on a flickering screen with a slight curse, hands adjusting a camera that the audience couldn't see. It took a second of fiddling before the shaky footage smoothed out, providing a much cleaner look. After finding the desired position, you lamely flopped down in a chair behind you, arms crossed with a slight smile. A loose button-up and sweats clung to your figure comfortably, doing nothing for a fashion statement but looking nice enough. Surrounding walls were covered in cut out pictures and posters of various movies and shows, each more bizarre than the last.

After a beat of silence, you seemed to remember that you were supposed to be speaking.

"Er, hey." You clear your throat, tossing a quick wave at the blank stare of your camera lens. A quick introduction of your name was supplied to the device before continuing.

"Uh, I'm here to apply for Total Drama, but I think you already knew that. I know this season is supposed to be for past competitors only, but I figured why the hell not." That last sentence was accompanied with a shrug. "I know Chris won't pass up an opportunity for drama and more views, so maybe I have a chance. And if not I can always go back to applying for film school. Fun" You smiled bitterly at that.

"Little bit 'bout me I guess. I'm a film major, like I said, and getting on this show will help loads with my resume. Also maybe with my debt. That cash prize doesn't sound half bad if I'm being honest." You paused, eyes flickering off to the side of the frame in thought of something more. "I like to write too. Keep a personal journal just in case I ever catch a freak case of amnesia or anything like that. I'm not very athletic or the best at befriending people, but at least I'll be prepared in case one of your freak challenges knocks me upside the head."

A wry smile crossed your features.

"Anyways, that's about all from me. Hope I'll be seeing Camp Wawanakwa soon. Peace out." You waved once more before shutting the camera off. As you did so, static showed on the screen that a familiar man had been using to watch it. A chuckle echoed through the dark room as he spoke up excitedly.

"Oh, this will be fun!"

It's a reader-insert slow burn with Mike and his personalities as the love interest. Minus Chester. He just stays a grumpy old man.

Involves a devisive plot that I came up with three years ago that, unlike the rest of the book, was actually good. No spoilers, though

This is definitely being posted to my ao3, but I want to know if anyone here would read it
