Luke Pearce | Love Languages Headcanons

Pairing: Luke x MC | Tears of Themis

Prompt: Love languages from @themistypewriter February prompt

Rating: General

C/Ws: fluff, second-person pov, mentions of main story (ep 5?) details.

Word count: 1.4k

A/N: based on the global server.

Words of affirmation

I feel that Words of Affirmation is Luke’s primary love language. He is very vocal about expressing his feelings for you, and he always wants to reassure you that you are very special to him.

It also seems that he prefers to receive love in that way. When you have misunderstandings, he is reassured after you have thoroughly explained yourself.

If he’s already that vocal in a friendship, in a romantic relationship he would even be more conscientious.

He would constantly express his love and affection for you, but it doesn’t always come in the form of “I love you”. He would praise you, tell you all the things he admires about you, and express how he feels whenever he is with you.

I think Luke is the type to be quite confident in a relationship, so he wouldn’t say “I love you” that often, because he doesn’t think it’s necessary, just like he wouldn’t need to hear it from you. Your tone of voice and what you say to him are already conveying your love for him.

If you’re the type who says “I love you” quite often, he would get used to it and pick up the habit to say it just as much – not just saying it back to you, but actually saying it randomly at other times.

I think Luke would also be the type to keep in touch through texting throughout the day. Sending you little stickers every now and then, and just telling you random things about his day. Your replies help him feel connected to you, and even if you’re not speaking of anything important, you replying to his bids for attention mean the world to him.

If you’re really busy during the day, he’d make sure to call you when you’re free. Hearing your voice relaxes him.

Quality time

I think quality time would be next, but it would tie with Acts of Service.

Whenever you and he have a free day, he’s always trying to spend it together since he feels guilty about having spent all those years apart from you.

However, he doesn’t just spend time with you out of guilt – he really needs it. He has a lot of fun with you, and sharing time and space together reinforces the connection you two have.

Be it cooking a meal – and failing in the process – together, going out on adventures, or even just watching a movie, he loves giving you his undivided attention, and he thrives on you doing the same.

Your time together has a hint of the familiarity you two shared growing up, so it’s quite easy for you to spend entire days together without feeling any need for alone time.

However, if you two are busy, he’d suggest working on your own projects together – it reminds him of how you guys used to study together during high school. He would ask for your advice with certain problems, and he’d offer to do the same for you. Being able to talk about your work with this kind of depth brings you closer, and proves that you can count on each other for everything.

Acts of Service

He is always trying to protect you and make sure you are safe, so obviously acts of service are big for him. It comes like second nature to him, and he doesn’t even realize he is trying to do something for you until you point it out to him.

If you are okay with him wanting to spoil you and always watch out for you, I think he would actually relax a little over time.

However, if someone trying to do stuff for you pisses you off – because it makes you think other people don’t believe you are capable of being independent – and you confront him about it, it would hurt him at first.

He wouldn’t understand why you don’t want him doing all those things for you – checking that any small cut is healing properly, making sure you are warm and cozy and well-fed, etc. – because for him it’s just a way to prove that he cares about you.

If you take the time to explain it to him – that you are an adult and have been perfectly capable of surviving and thriving on your own before he reappeared into your life – he would try to rationalize it, so he would totally understand what you mean, but it wouldn’t change the fact that he still wants to do things for you.

He would try to find other activities that don’t annoy you, like carrying stuff that looks heavy, taking you to and picking you up from places, and definitely, getting better at cooking special dishes for you.

When it comes to receiving love, I think he would probably feel the same discomfort you may feel if you do acts of service for him. He would think he is inconveniencing you, that you have had to go out of your way for him, so he wouldn’t realise it is you showing him love, because he is too busy feeling bad about making you do all those things.

If one of your main languages is acts of service, I think with just a bit of insistence, he’d end up realizing you’re doing those things because you want to. It would probably make him want to dote on you even more.

If it is not one of your main languages, Luke wouldn’t really notice either, because he isn’t really expecting it or needing it from you.

Gifts

I feel like gift-giving would be more practical in Luke’s case. He would gift you things that are basically helping him take care of you. It can come in any form, from healthy take out, to booking a massage for you.

I think Luke is fine with receiving gifts, but it can also make him slightly uncomfortable. He will assess how much you’re giving him and whether or not he’s giving you just as much.

I bet at some point it felt like both of you were competing to see who could gift more things to the other lol.

But I believe Luke loves your gifts because they are material proof of your affection. I think this man could receive only one gift from you in like three years and he would be totally fine, he wouldn’t feel any less loved by you.

If you do gift him things regularly, he would make sure to keep every single thing, no matter how silly and small. He would find ways to keep them both at his place and the shop, so that he can look at them whenever he is feeling lonely and be reminded of you and the love both of you share.

I also think he’d prefer gifts that he can wear – like the key he keeps close to his heart, or the globes you gifted him for his 25th birthday.

And hear me out, I feel that couple sets would be a thing. I can totally see him wanting to wear matching accessories or even less obvious things, like outfits that are colour coordinated but not too outstanding. It would be something only you two notice but that mimics the bond you two have.

Touch

I was super sure touch isn’t something Luke craves – since his feelings for you stayed strong for 8 years without seeing you – BUT he did hug you after he found out you had joined the NXX and you guys fought over it.

So I think touch is something he doesn’t necessarily need, but he does express his love through touch and it reassures him.

The good thing is it means you two are good to go in a long-distance relationship as well, which you may end up in due to Luke’s job.

Having known each other for so long, touching each other wouldn’t be unnatural, but the romantic aspect to it would still make him a bit nervous.

If your primary love language is touch, he would be a bit surprised at first about how touchy you are, but he would be happy about it, and soon enough he would be the one initiating physical contact.

He’d find ways to casually touch you out in public – like brushing your hair out of your face, readjusting something on your clothes or flicking away something, and obviously, holding hands would be a must. In private, I think Luke would be really cuddly, lightly pecking your cheeks and your connected hands, and he’d want to be close to you at all times.

He would also be quite playful and start tickle fights, or even blow raspberries on your stomach (if you’re okay with it) randomly.

Interactions and feedback are always highly appreciated <3

Hesitation

@themistypewriter January Monthly Prompt. Went with the Midnight Confessions prompt.

Synopsis: It's almost midnight. It's almost the new year. A whole new year that Luke and Rosa will be able to create brand new memories together. However, he's in a dilemma. Does he want to keep his prognosis a secret or finally come clean?

Pairing: Luke x Rosa

WC: 2471

Author's Note: I hit really bad writer's block.. If I didn't have a writing buddy to help keep me accountable, this probably wouldn't have been written.. I am struggling so hard to discipline myself to write right now. I am putting most of the blame on work and how it mentally exhausts me every single day. I don't like being an adult with a 9 to 5 job tbqh. I tried my hardest and I am still iffy on the outcome, but I hope you all like it.

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

Despite it being cold, Rosa had the door leading to her balcony wide open. She ran back into the house, her eyes sparkling like the stars outside. “Luke! Luke! It’s almost midnight! The fireworks show is going to start soon!” She exclaimed with excitement in her voice. She squealed before she disappeared back out onto her balcony. Luke went to grab his jacket at the entrance and shrugged in his arms. He sighed when he heard the familiar noise of his pills shaking around in its container. A small container that carried a burden much heavier than its contents.

Before walking to the balcony he grabbed the matching scarves on the hook. The closer he got to the door, the colder it got and it made a shiver travel down his back. From behind, he gently tossed the garment around her neck. She jumped a little out of surprise, then a giggle followed. “Thank you, Luke.”

He watched her from the corner of his eyes as he stepped beside her. He wrapped the scarf around his neck and buried his nose into the warm fabric. “How many minutes until midnight?” He asked her, his voice muffled by the scarf.

Rosa’s face lit up when she lifted her phone up briefly. “Eight more minutes.” She put her phone back into her pocket and rubbed her gloved hands together. “I heard firecrackers going off in the distance, it’s exciting knowing that we are about to enter a new year! We will have a full year ahead of us to spend together~”

Luke smiled a little from her words. 1 whole year. 365 days. 8760 hours. 525,600 minutes. Countless memories. It’s all he could ever ask for. But that only meant one thing. Each day, hour, and minute that passes counts down to how much time he has left to spend by Rosa’s side. Just like how they are counting down to the new year.

“Oh!” Rosa’s quip pulled Luke out of his head and snapped him back into reality. “I forgot about the noisemakers that I bought on my way home the other day. I’ll be right back!”

Luke’s eyes followed Rosa back into her apartment. “I wish I could stay by your side forever.” He spoke out loud. He yearned for a life that they could live together forever, but with a lack of a cure for his illness, forever is out of reach.

He leaned against the railing and stared up at the sky. He closed his eyes and let out a long sigh. His ears picked up on Rosa’s returning footsteps, but he kept his eyes closed.

“Luke? Everything okay? Sleep? We have about five minutes left. We can go to sleep soon.” She said to him, concern laced in her voice.

He opened his eyes and shook his head. “I’m fine, don’t worry. The cold is enough to keep me up.”

Rosa nodded then handed him a noisemaker. She placed the other in her mouth and blew into it, the squawk it made loud between them. They shared a laugh before Luke did the same thing. They continued to make more noise as midnight drew closer.

“Luke, just a few more seconds before the new year!” R

Rosa clapped her hands together and her voice gradually grew louder as they were reaching midnight.

“Ten. Nine. Eight. Seven!”

I have to tell her!

“Six! Five! Four!” Their voices grew in volume as it got closer to the new year.

That’s no way to start a brand new year! Luke fought with himself.

“Three! TWO!” Rosa was hopping in her spot in excitement.

She looks so beautiful right now with that smile. I can’t ruin the night.

“ONE! HAPPY NEW YEAR!!” They both yelled at the top of their lungs. Rosa raised the noisemaker in her hand up to her lips and blew into it, a harsh squawk sound filling the air around them.

The fireworks off to the distance lit up the sky and Luke wrapped a hand around Rosa’s back and pulled her closer to him. She blew into the noisemaker again and he laughed a little. He pressed a kiss on her temple. “Happy New Year, Rosa.” He whispered.

Rosa twisted between his body and his arm to face him. Their faces were mere inches apart. Her cheeks were rosy and her eyes caught the lights of the fireworks still going off behind her. Luke took in this sight, wanting to engrave into his memory forever. “Happy New Year, Luke.” She responded to him. As she spoke, her breath turned into mist and it swirled between them.

Luke gulped then he leaned forward, closing in the distance between them. Rosa’s eyes fluttered close and he went for it. He pressed his lips against hers. The embrace is tender and warm. She reciprocated the kiss. It made Luke’s cheek catch on fire. He never thought he’d be able to share a new year’s kiss with the love of his life. When they pulled apart, they kept their foreheads pressed together. Their breaths were ragged. Tell her already!! He yelled at himself in his head.

“Rosa..” Luke whispered as he pulled back from his girlfriend.

She peered up at him, her eyes curious. “Hm?”

He dug his hands deeper into his jacket pockets. “I really need to tell you something. I don’t think it's fair to you if I continue to keep this from you anymore..”

Luke watched as she tilted her head, wondering what he could possibly say. He sucked in a deep breath, but then ended up in a coughing fit when the cold air dried out his throat.

“Luke, are you okay?!” Rosa stepped closer to him, her voice full of concern.

He held up a hand and nodded his head. Tears pricked at the corner of his eyes and he continued to cough for a few more passing moments. When he finally got himself to stop coughing, he pounded his chest with his fist lightly. He cleared his throat then gathered his composure back.

Rosa’s eyes were still filled with concern and he felt his heart break a little. How could I tell her? She is going to be overcome with more worry than she is now.. He gazed into her eyes then finally prepared himself to say what he’s been needing to tell her all night.

“I’m dying.” He said outright, no sugar coat.

Rosa blinked a few times before she leaned forward. “Pardon? Did I hear you right?” She asked him. “Did you just say you’re dying?”

Luke grabbed her hand. “I think this will be better to talk about inside..” He suggested with a frown on his lips.

When he tugged on her hand gently, she remained frozen in her spot. “Luke Pearce, did you really say that you are dying?” She repeated her question, but this time it stung because he could have sworn he heard a hint of anger within her words.

He released Rosa’s hand and it fell back to her side. “Yes..” He finally answered, “I don’t have as much time left by your side..” He confessed. Luke wasn’t able to hold his gaze because of the guilt bubbling inside of him. He couldn’t bear seeing Rosa’s face distort from surprise then sadness.

“This has got to be some kind of joke!” Her voice rose in disbelief.

Luke moved his eyes back over to Rosa’s face and her eyes were searching his face. “You’re kidding, right?!” She stepped closer to him then grabbed onto the edge of his jacket. “Luke, say something!” She requested with desperation.

“I-I’m sorry.. I didn’t want to start off the new year like this, but it was now or never..” He brought himself to muster out.

Suddenly, Rosa’s knees gave out from beneath her. “R-Rosa!” Luke reacted with haste to catch her from collapsing forward. His hands had an iron-grip on her arms. “Rosa..” It didn’t seem like she was going to move from her spot so he took it upon himself to bring her back inside. He let go of her arms and he bent down to slide one arm at the back of her knees and his other hooked around her shoulders. With ease, he lifted her up off the cold balcony floor.

Luke carefully walked through the small entry. He walked to her couch and slowly sat her down. He went back to the door to close it before settling in the seat beside her. He rubbed his hands against his jeans then stole a glance of her. Her eyes were distant as she stared at her coffee table.

“Ro–”

“How–”

The both of them spoke up at the same time, then both fell quiet when they realized they were going to speak over each other.

“No, you go first..” Luke said to her.

“How much longer do you have left?” Rosa’s voice cracked halfway through her question.

Luke’s heart wrenched in his chest. He swallowed thickly then answered, “I have about 2 years and 10 months left..”

“When? When did you find out that you were dying?” Rosa continued her interrogation and he wasn’t going to stop her because she deserved to finally know the truth.

“I–Uhm, well I’ve known for quite awhile now.. When I left there wasn’t any super secret mission that kept me away from Stellis.. When I left for university, I found myself in a predicament.. I ended up on a case that landed me working for the NSB.. That’s where I gained most of my education from. Which you already knew..” He bit his lip then sighed. “But I ended up on a mission and injuries were obtained. But the medicine me and my colleagues received during treatment had been lethal.. Most of my colleagues didn’t make it, but I did..”

Rosa remained silent as she tried to take in Luke’s story.

“Aaron said I probably would have died on the operating table.. But I vividly remember seeing you while I was under the anesthesia. Had it not seen you in my unconscious mind, I wouldn’t have been pulled back to live just a little bit longer. Th-That’s why I finally made the decision to see you again.. I just couldn’t bear the thought of not being able to see you again and telling you a proper goodbye before leaving this Earth…” He rubbed a hand along the side of his neck.

“Are you…or Aaron at least actively trying to find a cure for your illness?” Rosa asked. He could tell she was in denial of the truth.

Luke shrugged his shoulders. “I was advised to just live out my life.. Aaron has been looking for treatments. But he was only able to buy me an extra two months..”

He ran a hand through his hair and let out another sigh. “He suggested that I try to ask Marius for access to his resources within Pax Pharmaceuticals. But I’m not sure if I have the gull to even ask for such a huge favor. I’ve only known Marius for a few months because of NXX..”

Rosa scooted closer to Luke and took his hand into hers. She laced their fingers together and squeezed his hand. The warmth and softness of her hand kept him grounded. “I just couldn’t keep this a secret from you anymore.. Aaron suggested I finally tell you because he said it’d be best to tell you now before the truth came out and you didn’t find out from me.”

“Who else knows?” Rosa peered up at him.

“Other than people I worked with in the NSB and Aaron? No one. I think Aaron only gave me that warning as a threat to tell the truth myself or he was going to do it for me..”

“I can’t believe you decided to keep this from me though. We’re best friends, Luke..” Rosa reminded him.

Luke sighed. “I know.. I didn’t know when would be a good time to tell you. I was scared of ruining the good time that we were experiencing since being reunited.”

“But we shouldn’t have to hide such secrets from each other.” Rosa’s voice started to crack as she spoke, getting choked up.

“I wasn’t going to tell you the moment after I ran into you again. Wouldn’t that have been the most outrageous way to greet you after being separated for so long?” Luke turned his body to look at her, their hands still tangled together.

“Could you imagine if I walked up to you and said: “Hello, Rosa. It’s nice to see you again. By the way, I am dying and I have three years and two months left to live!!” That would have been the most heartless thing I could have done. I wanted to ease back into your life and finally pursue you like how I have always wanted while growing up.. I wanted it to be a natural occurrence. Then I would finally reveal the truth. Which I did..” Luke let go of her hand halfway through his tangent then ran both of his hands fervorously through his hair. “I apologize, Rosa. I know I shouldn’t have waited this long to tell you..” He hung his head down with guilt.

A few silent seconds passed between them, then Rosa placed her hand on the back of his head. Her hand trailed down to his cheek and she grazed her thumb against his cheek. “Thank you for telling me..” She whispered, her voice thick with sadness.

He finally looked back up and their eyes met. Hers were full of tears and when she blinked, they streamed down her cheeks. Luke couldn’t hold back his tears after seeing Rosa cry. He reached out both of his hands and cupped her face between them. He used his thumbs to wipe away her tears. He leaned forward to place a gentle kiss on her forehead. “I’m sorry, Rosa.”

She just smiled sadly at him through her tears.

Luke knew that she wouldn’t easily forgive him and he respected her decision. He slid his hands away from her face and placed them on his lap.

“I think I am going to drink the champagne then call it a night..” Rosa spoke softly as she stood up to walk to the kitchen.

“O-oh, okay..” Luke stayed in his seat, rubbing his hands roughly against his face. He inhaled a deep breath, his hands glued to his face.

Rosa’s footsteps approached him and he peered up at her. She offered him a glass of champagne. Luke took the flute from her and they tapped their flutes against each other’s. They let the solemn air linger between them as they spent the rest of their night finishing up the last of the champagne before retreating into Rosa’s room to sleep.

Grandconquests is a discord based Fire Emblem: Heroes RP group centered on the Emblian Empire.

We are a group with dark, gritty themes that allow characters to explore what it feels like to serve under the tyrant, to aide the villain--rather than the hero that many are used to.

We have a plethora of group mechanics and game modes to explore, including more in development! For starters, though, here are some to name a few: An automated shop system with a store to purchase items, a biweekly IC prompt that awards 4k gold upon completion, “boss” battles every time a GHB/TT unit from FE:H is accepted, monthly events both casual and serious, RP channels for serious RP and a “chat-style” RP channel for casual rping!

We currently have an event that lasts until September 4th to welcome Three Houses muses! It includes a puzzle event that rewards a lot of goodies and unlocks a brand new mechanic for the group! We also have a 2x the gold event going on right now that stacks with the RP event!

We are a small community that is excited to welcome new members into our family! Please consider joining us, we would absolutely love to have you and can’t wait to rp with you!

You can find links to our masterlist and info on our front page!

“I think that people who want to impose the First Amendment doctrine on these private companies should be careful what they wish for,” she told me, pointing out that under the First Amendment rationale, Twitter could host pornography or obvious hate speech on its platform. She’s a constitutional law professor at the University of North Carolina School of Law and leads the university’s Promote Democracy initiative. It would be a shock for social media companies to suddenly adopt a First Amendment, almost-anything-goes attitude, Mary-Rose Papandrea told me. A Texas law addresses that, allowing residents to sue platforms with 50 million or more US monthly users over allegations of censorship. US law protects Americans from government control of their speech but lets private companies impose their own standards.Ĭonservatives like Trump have long felt targeted by social media companies.

Musk says he’s put his bid to acquire Twitter on hold as he’s worried about fake accounts.īut he’s said he would reinstate the former President’s account on Twitter, and push the platform’s policy to mirror the laws of the land, which allow even more varied and raw speech than you’ll find on TV or the other big social media platforms. Self-described “free speech absolutist” Elon Musk’s quest to turn Twitter into his vision of a marketplace of ideas – that would also be friendly to misinformation and whatever else people want to say – has hit an ironic snag over all the fake accounts on the platform. Just maybe not under Twitter’s content policy.

February Monthly Archive/ March Update

February was a rough month for my mental health, but hey, I still haven't missed a week of writing, sooooo...upside! In all seriousness, keeping up with this challenge felt like a real chore this month, and aside from maybe two stories, I don't feel like I put my best work out there. Not to mention almost missing a week and only posting on my Tumblr account and not Twitter or Reddit.

Shameless plug aside, I'm still holding on two months in, pretty proud of that. Wrote some longer stories than usual and they turned out okay. Plus, I'm doing more planning when it comes to my stories and how I want to tell them. I think I'm building a good system for myself.

Anyway, for March, I plan to vary up the prompts and try to branch out a bit in terms of genre. Here's hoping for a little more than the bare minimum.

01 - Not Enough Time

Written: 02/02/2024 Prompt: [TT] Them Thursday - Exhaustion Prompt By: u/AliciaWrites (Reddit)

02 - REST

Written: 02/10/2024 Prompt: "I've got you, you're okay." Prompt By: @celestialwrites (Tumblr)

03 - Time to Spare

Written: 02/17/2024 Prompt: Ticking Prompt By: @dailytextprompt (Tumblr)

04 - ToonMan #3: Calling it Quips

Written: 02/19/2024 Prompt: LINK Prompt By: @write-it-motherfuckers (Tumblr)

05 - An Open Book

Written: 02/25/2024 Prompt: LINK Prompt By: @writing-prompt-s (Tumblr)

Artem Wing | Love Languages Headcanons

Pairing: Artem x MC | Tears of Themis

Prompt: Love languages from @themistypewriter February prompt

Rating: General

C/Ws: fluff, second-person pov, mentions of his personal story details, established relationship

Word count: 1.6k

A/N: based on the global server.

Acts of Service

I couldn’t decide if his primary love language would be acts of service or gift giving but I think in a relationship, it would be acts of service.

Artem is the type that has the intention and possible outcomes of his actions in mind whenever he does something (he is really careful about his “advances” with you, and tries to plan things so that you like it).

He’d be the type to try to make your wishes and dreams come true, as well as to recreate fond memories you have. He’d learn to cook your favourite dishes, take you to your favourite places, or even plan a vacation to a destination you have always dreamed of.

He’d be quite secretive about it, not telling you anything until he has perfected every tiny detail.

I feel that even if Artem tends to surprise you with grander gestures – like suddenly announcing you are going on the trip of your dreams and you don’t have to do anything because he has already planned for it – he’d also be there for you in the small daily little things. If you’re too tired from the day, he’d start taking on your chores around the house – like washing the dishes without even saying a word when it’s your turn to do it, or doing the laundry before you run out of clothes to wear.

If your love language is also acts of service, he would be quite taken aback at first, because he is so used to taking care of himself and being independent. However, I think he’d understand what you’re doing and why, and he’d thank you for making him feel so loved. That doesn’t mean he’d get used to it, though. He has spent too long only counting on himself after all. So every time you do something for him, it would still come as a surprise because he isn’t taking it for granted.

If you’re also quite independent yourself and you don’t rely on others, it could cause him some conflict, because he wouldn’t know how to show you he loves you. He’d try to argue with you about certain things being “his duty as your partner”, though.

Gifts

It’s canon he is the first one to gift you stuff (if we only count from the time the game starts, not your childhood).

He tries to express his feelings through his gifts – a bouquet – and he tends to go for the classic options. Less risk of messing it up.

He also pays a lot of attention to see what you like and buys it for you without you knowing it’s him or why.

For Artem it’s more about seeing the satisfaction in your face than it is about you acknowledging he has bought that for you.

That’s why I think in a cohabitation relationship, he would buy little things and randomly place them in the house for you to find when he’s not around.

He’d want to be around the first couple of times though, just to see how you react and if he’s doing well or not, in case you’d rather he didn’t do that.

So you’d be going to prepare a snack for yourself and suddenly this really expensive brand of cookies would be on the shelf, coincidentally, your favourites. You’d go to the living room to show him, asking about it.

“Ah,” he’d feel a bit embarrassed and not know what to say, avoiding your gaze. When you press him and he confesses he has bought them for you, there is a faint blush on his face.

As much as he loves you thanking him – and maybe giving him a hug or a kiss – he doesn’t do it for you to thank him, he genuinely just wants to see you happy.

When you do the same for him – buying tickets for a movie you think he’d like before he has time to even check the billboard – I think Artem would have a moment of realization. They really know me, and that means, you two have been together for long enough that you can do these things for him. It would make him feel your relationship is strong.

Words of Affirmation

Artem would shower you in love, compliments and affirmation. And he would be so deep and subtle about it, too. You’d be telling him about something that happened in your day – whether it be a work-related affair or a conversation with a friend – and he’d just say “your solution was so creative” or “I love the way you saw that and replied to them”.

It could come off as patronizing, but he isn’t saying it with that intent at all. If you ever feel judged and confront him about it – like telling him you’re not seeking his approval or validation – he’d explain that it’s not him looking down on you and judging you worthy of him, but rather, he feels so amazed by what a great person you are, and he feels compelled to tell you all the time.

Most of his words of affirmation would come from your behaviour or way of thinking, but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t pay attention to you physically.

Whenever you two have a date outside, or you’re wearing a new outfit to work or to an appointment with your friends – or even just slightly different clothes to what you usually wear, or you’ve tried something new with your hair or cologne – he would compliment you casually on it. He’d make sure you know how attractive and beautiful you are for him, in any circumstance.

He tends to not place too much emphasis on it, though, since he also wants to make sure you know your physique is not the main reason he loves you and wants to be with you.

As reassured as Artem seems, I think in a relationship, he’d want to know your opinion on various matters and would love to have some validation from you – not because he is insecure, but because he respects and values your way of thinking.

I think that compliments would be a way of saying “I love you” for him, so he wouldn’t say the actual words that often, because he wants to make sure you understand all the different reasons why he does love you, and just saying those three words is too simple for him.

If you do say “I love you” often, it would fluster him at first, but he’d make sure to think of conversations you’ve had where you’ve shown admiration for him in different ways.

Okay, listen to me: I think he’s the type to come up with some secret word or sentence – like a private joke – that you two could use in public to make sure you’re okay, both in the situation (whether it be a party or a meeting) and in the relationship, like a check-in that also expresses your love for each other in a way only you two can understand.

Quality Time

Getting quality time with Artem would be a rare but precious occurrence at first – we know this man is a workaholic after all. Working long hours for especially complex cases and bringing documents and work home would be quite usual, and he’s so used to doing it that he doesn’t realise there is a problem at first.

He’d still make sure to spend even a little time with you every day – be it talking in bed before sleeping together, or sharing breakfast together when he has worked through the night.

However, when the time you spend together starts not being enough for you, and you bring it up for him, he’d be close to having a crisis.

He’d be reminded of how little time family time he had growing up, and he’d curse himself for doing the same thing to you without even realizing. It would also force him to think about his patterns and decide for himself what kind of a relationship he wants to build with you, instead of being led by inertia.

After that, he would call a meeting every week so you guys can compare schedules and block time to spend with each other – enough every day so that you feel connected and your relationship doesn’t suffer. Of course, not every day or week can be the same, but you try to keep a nice balance even in the busiest of times.

Some weeks later, he’d confess he feels way closer to you and funnily enough, he has also noticed an improvement in his focus during work hours.

Touch

Artem would be quite awkward about touching you at first, wanting to keep his distance to show you he respects you, and that he wants to be with you for who you are and not because of your body.

If your primary love language is touch, you’d have to hold back a bit – otherwise he’d combust from the overwhelm.

Holding hands would be okay, but anything else would need to happen after Artem is mentally and emotionally prepared. He’d want to do some research, no matter whether you have the same or more experience than he does – please, assure this man you don’t expect him to be a natural.

I think physical touch would give Artem an opportunity to be more spontaneous and show him he doesn’t need to be perfect or do things perfectly for you to love him and enjoy being with him.

He’d still prefer other ways of showing you his love, though, but he’d welcome any affection from you – especially once he isn’t so nervous and he has gotten used to you.

Interactions and feedback are always highly appreciated <3

Fireworks

Pairing: Artem Wing x Rosa | Tears of Themis

Prompt: Fireworks with X - by @themistypewriter

Rating: G

Contents: fluff, office fluff, a bit of stress due to overtime and overwhelming feelings.

Summary: Artem and Rosa have been too busy with NXX cases and Celestine takes the chance to make them do overtime together.

Word count: 2.943

A/N: Contains spoilers for Artem’s personal story. Rosa isn’t exactly canon MC because I wanted her to act a bit differently from how she does in the game, but she's still Rosa.

my brain: Luke is bae!!!!

also my brain: here’s another idea for an Artem fic.

“You’ll thank me tomorrow. Or maybe not. It all depends on how you act tonight.” Celestine claps a hand to Artem’s shoulder, and even if she is shorter, it still feels as patronizing as if she was towering over him. She is gone before he can find something good to reply with, something that doesn’t leave him feeling as if he was a lost teenager receiving advice from a mother figure.

Meanwhile, Rosa is looking over the files that Celestine had already left on her desk. Doing overtime isn’t something uncommon, and after the paid holidays everyone took during the New Year, the office really needs a push. She is also excited to come back to the firm’s cases: after working for so long investigating NXX cases, she really welcomes the sense of familiarity and security that her speciality brings. Just commerce problems, just economic lawsuits. Some company trying not to pay taxes sounds as peaceful as a child’s giggles after everything Rosa has seen for the past months.

After a bit over an hour, the first co-workers start to leave the building, passing by Rosa’s desk. She doesn’t pay much attention, knowing different people have different responsibilities. When the second hour goes by, Kiki drops by.

“You’re not done yet?”

Rosa looks up from her computer screen and sees Kiki is all ready to leave for the day.

“No, I still have a lot to go over before I can call it a day. You were quick today!”

Kiki peers over the files Rosa has scattered around her and frowns.

“That’s weird, your load after the New Year seems…”

Rosa gets nervous and suddenly worries she has been neglecting her duties in favour of NXX cases.

“It’s okay! I’m sure I’ll be done before it’s too late. Maybe it’s just… I’m not too quick today, but everything’s fine.” She forces a smile and Kiki interprets it as not wanting to talk anymore.

“Okay. Well… if you need to talk, or even just to vent when you take a break, I’ll be on my phone.” Kiki stares at her, trying to guess why Rosa seems so scatter-brained today. “Although, if you text me between 8 and 10 pm, I’ll be catching up on this new drama my bias is starring in.”

“Got it. I won’t expect a response from you during that time.” Rosa spins in her office chair, facing the computer again, ready for Kiki to leave.

“Oh, no. I’ll text you, just… it will be all about him.” Kiki giggles and Rosa feigns annoyance while looking at the ceiling. They say a quick goodbye and Rosa dives back into the cases. She can feel her neck getting a bit stiff and tries to move it around, seeing fewer lights are now on in the office.

She loves her job, but sometimes… it feels like the sense of loneliness that caught her during her last years of high school has never left, but only gotten stronger.

When Artem hears his phone buzz, he expects it to be from any of the NXX partners, but it isn’t. it’s Celestine announcing she is finally leaving the office, and she has made sure to check no one else but Rosa and him are left there.

Artem clenches his jaw, remembering her words before. “Oh, I’m so sorry you’ll have to be doing overtime when there’ll be some beautiful fireworks tonight… it’s such a pity the view from the rooftop is perfect for it…” Artem pokes at the space between his eyebrows. He wishes he didn’t need any of that, but it infuriates him how convenient it is to receive Celestine’s help. He wants to change that, and he’d love it if the first step towards that wouldn’t have to be following her advice. But he’s made too many mistakes before to just let go of that chance – the flower incident still stings in his mind. He doesn’t want to be misinterpreted anymore. He wants them to become closer naturally, but how?

There’s still a couple of hours before the fireworks start. Should he tell her in advance, or just suggest taking a break as it is about to happen? While he is racking his brains to find the best option, a couple of knocks are heard.

“Come in.” He already knows it’s her before her head pokes from the door, and he is suddenly wildly aware of the way his shirt is clinging to his armpits.

“Hey, um… the office is… it’s really empty and silent and I was wondering if you were also working late…” Rosa doesn’t enter but instead stands awkwardly at the door.

“Yes, I also have work to do tonight.” Artem looks at her, and her hesitant behaviour catches him off balance.

“I… I wanted to take a break to stretch my legs… but I guess I’ll go back to working now.” She begins turning away from him, and it almost makes Artem jump to his feet to stop her. Fortunately, he catches himself and simply leans forward on his desk.

“Great timing, I had just been thinking of taking a break, too.” Artem quickly closes his tabs (not before he makes sure all the progress has properly been saved) and tidies up his desk. Rosa waits for him, and when they both leave his office, they go to the break room.

“It’s true the office is empty. It’s quite the contrast to the daylight hours,” Artem causally says.

Rosa simply nods, unsure of whether to speak her mind or not. He is still her superior, even if they have gotten closer through their NXX work. At the end of the day, there still aren’t many occasions where both of them are alone.

“It probably sounds stupid but… I’m glad you’re here doing overtime too, Mr. Wing.” Rosa reaches for her mug and goes to the tea box to choose what to have.

Artem feels his chest filling with a warm feeling, only to be shaken back to reality by the fact that she still addresses him like that.

“You can… call me Artem if you want.” He peeks at her but quickly moves away, finding an unopened box of cookies to fiddle with.

“Oh, yes. I guess I only have to call you Mr Wing in front of other people, then? But… you’re still my boss even if we’re alone.” Rosa’s voice trails off, the worry clear in her words.

“Respect can be shown in other ways.” He quickly speaks, and he can already hear Celestine tutting in his mind. Wrong choice. “I also respect you.”

“Ah, thank you, but I’m still under your care…” Rosa finally focuses enough on the teas to pick one.

Artem stares at her, her movements elegant and gentle, and there’s certain domesticity in the image that almost makes him step back. I want to care for you in other ways… in all the ways possible.

“Did you know there’ll be a firework exhibition later tonight?”

“Oh, yes. Luke told me about it.”

Luke. Always Luke. And he wasn’t Mr Pearce, no, he was just Luke.

Rosa looks at him now that she has to wait for the kettle to boil. For the first time that night, he doesn’t look away.

“It’s… not what you think. He just told me because we chat every day, but it wasn’t like we were planning on going together. We are not da- we’re like family.” We only have each other after all.

Family is still closer than co-workers. Artem can feel Celestine’s voice materialising and quickly moves away from those thoughts.

“It may be impractical since we’re already on a break now, but… do you want to go up to the rooftop to see the fireworks later?” Artem steps a bit closer, but the distance between them is still great in the empty room.

Rosa’s eyes light up at the mention.

“We can go up to the rooftop?! I’ve never been there!”

Artem simply nods and looks away, the coffee he’s prepared is ready, but he doesn’t feel ready for anything at all.

“Okay.” Rosa looks at the time on her phone. “If I’m super productive and optimistic, I could be done by the time the fireworks start. Otherwise, it can be a healthy break. They say you should take breaks every hour, it’s not bad to start the year trying to implement better habits, is it?” She looks up at him and Artem wonders when he looked back at her. He finds himself staring at her more often than he is aware of.

“It’s a good way, yes. I’ll follow your example.” Artem picks up the coffee and starts swirling the spoon. “Are there any other… resolutions you’ve decided on?”

“New Year’s resolutions?” She picks up the kettle and pours the hot water for her tea. “I always have goals no matter the time of the year, but right now… I really should focus on preparing for the attorney certification exam. So yeah, that’s my new year resolution: advance in my studies!” Her voice raises up and she almost balls her fists with motivation. “Oh! Of course, I also want to keep improving in my job,” she admits quickly looking at Artem and looking away. He is unsure if the pinkish tone in her cheeks has always been there.

“You’re still thinking that I’m your boss?” Artem chuckles to hide the sting in his chest. “I’ve told you before, you can forget about that when we’re talking like this. Don’t we have a relationship outside this firm?”

“We’re partners to solve mysterious unsolved cases!” Her voice still has a motivated quality that he finds funny given the situation.

Would it be crazy if I told her I want to be friends?

“What’s your New Year resolution, M- Artem,” she quickly corrects herself and Artem feels the confidence start running away from him.

Images of his mentor flash in his mind, but he quickly discards bringing that up. The last time he did, the mood got all weird afterwards. Plus, that’s not really anything new, not like what he is actually working towards… “I want to focus on getting closer to people.”

“Oh.” She gets quiet, unsure how to respond to that information. It is more personal than she thought it would be. “Um, people in your private life or…?”

Artem hesitates and Rosa quickly rushes to stop him.

“You don’t have to answer!” She turns to her tea and fiddles with the little leaf bag.

“It’s people in all areas of my life.” He looks at her, hesitant. “A little too big of a goal, maybe.”

“Oh, no, not at all. It’s good to, uh, be consistent. So if you get closer to more people it will be easier, I guess?” Rosa feels like she’s blabbing and smiles sadly to herself.

“In case you’re wondering… you’re also included.”

Rosa turns to look at him and suddenly feels as if the entire room had frozen for a few seconds. She blinks and panics, she needs to say something fast.

“Oh, right, that’s why you wanted me to call you Artem, yeah, right.” She racks her brains and is all too aware of how the blood is rushing to her face. “You’re making progress already, M- my god so much progress!” Rosa curses herself mentally. She seems unable to let go of the habit of calling him ‘Mr Wing’, and right now it’s the worst time possible.

“I think you’re being a bit too lenient with me.” He laughs a little, and Rosa wants to say he’s the one being too lenient with her all the time. “Should we go back to working on our cases?” Artem looks at his wristwatch.

When Rosa is back at her desk and he’s back inside his office, Artem sighs and combs through his hair. He hopes the fireworks go better than their conversation at the pantry. He feels like the more he tries and fails, the fewer chances remain for him to get closer to her.

The alarm Artem set sounds quietly next to him. He finishes the sentence he was writing and reads it before making sure the document is saved. He still has some other cases to go through, but the amount is small enough to leave it for tomorrow. Everything that was urgent has been taken care of. Everything except his plans with Rosa.

He grabs his coat and scarf and finds Rosa wrapped up and ready to go. When they get to the last floor through the elevator, he urges Rosa to follow him. They have to take the stairs to get to the rooftop.

The stairs are only lit with the emergency lights, but Rosa finds security in the handrail. Then, when they cross the door, the cold greets them as well as darkness splattered with the city lights, lights from other buildings with offices like theirs.

Rosa reaches for her phone but cannot find it in the pockets of her coat. She must’ve left it under some papers on her desk.

“Umm...Artem? I can’t see very well...” Rosa timidly reaches for his arm and hopes it’s okay to do this under the circumstances.

“Oh, sorry. It’s fine, cling to me until we get to the edge.” Artem gets his phone out and turns on the torch function. They slowly walk to the border, and just in time, like they had been waiting for them, the first firework explodes in the sky.

They admire the show in awed silence for a while, but Artem can’t keep his eyes off her for long. He can see her breath floating around her cheeks, and that materialisation urges him to move forward, to get closer, to breathe her and touch her and...

Artem forces himself to look away. Perhaps being in such a dark space, only lit by the successive explosions of colour in the distance, wasn’t a good idea.

So beautiful, they both think at the same time, but for different reasons.

Rosa perceives movement next to her and tears her eyes from the fireworks to look at Artem. He’s covering his mouth and looking down, and she wonders if there’s anything wrong.

“Artem?”

He slowly looks at her, and she wonders if perhaps he’s afraid of heights, or if the sound is too much, or if he’s afraid of the explosions. The one thing she knows for sure is that when you’re afraid, being distracted can help the feeling of dread diminish.

“Have you thought of a wish?”

“A wish?” Artem frowns slightly, deep in thought. Why would he make a wish? Is it because of the fireworks?

“When I was little, I used to think fireworks had the same power that shooting stars do. So I started making wishes whenever I saw fireworks, and now it’s kind of… a habit I can’t shake off?” Rosa pushes a bit on the handrail, looking back at the colours that dance in the night sky.

“Well, no one can prove the power of shooting stars, so I guess fireworks could also have a chance…” Artem says, almost muttering to himself.

“I’ll wish that… oh! I know!” Rosa turns to look at him again, and even in the dim light, he can see her eyes are sparkling, and it’s not because of the fireworks. “I’ll wish that we can support each other with our goals this year!”

Artem smiles and feels his heart expand a little in his chest.

“Oh, although, that doesn’t mean I expect you to keep helping me with my studies.” Rosa offers him an awkward smile.

“I enjoy helping you, actually. It helps me keep things fresh in my mind.”

“Really? I’m so glad.” Rosa smiles widely now and looks back at the sky.

“I thought saying wishes aloud would prevent them from coming true, though.”

Rosa’s head turns so fast, she hears a faint cracking sound. Oh, she needs to go to a physical therapist.

“What? I always say them aloud.” Rosa’s face seems frozen in place.

“Maybe it doesn’t matter. Maybe you’re lucky enough your wishes always come true, no matter if you keep them to yourself or not.”

“I don’t know. I thought… words have power, you know? I thought speaking your wish aloud would actually help make it come true.”

Artem wants to laugh or pinch her cheeks or ruffle her hair or run as fast as he can downstairs, but he just stares at her. He can’t believe he knows someone like her.

“Mmm, maybe, since I already said my wish aloud, when the final bang happens, you just think your wish, and we can see whose wish comes true by next year.” Rosa looks at him and suddenly gasps quietly. Next year. I mean, it’s only sensible to have plenty of time to let a wish come true, right? It’s not awkward at all, is it?

Next year. Yeah, I can have another year of working alongside her. Artem smiles at her, and it makes her breath catch in her throat. It’s the first time she’s seen that big of a smile on his face, and it’s for her.

The explosions happen quicker and quicker, and they focus back on the fireworks. Soon enough, the big final explosion happens, and both of them close their eyes. Rosa brings her palms together, like in prayer, and Artem brings his hands to the handrail.

I wish Rosa can come to like me.

“I wish we can support each other as we strive for our goals.”

It is foolish of them, really. Both of their wishes are for things that are already true.

Note: I’m not encouraging in any way doing overtime, and much less unpaid overtime. This is just the world and culture of the characters and story.
