#tw’s merch shines through for us

[scryptids]

madelyn cline / she/her  ———  no way is that NICOLETTA ‘COLE’ CERULLI.. they’re a 26-year-old HUMAN notoriously known for being CHAOTIC  &  IRRESPONSIBLE but there are some people who have seen them being CHARMING  &  TALENTED.  if you ask me, they remind me a lot of an old guitar abandoned in the corner of her bedroom, old band t-shirts riddled with holes and age, the faint flicker of a lighter in a dark room, and freckled cheeks feigning innocence, but that could just be because they’re considered the THE CHARMER around town. just keep an eye on them  &  see if their true colors shine through..

TW: addiction, overdose mention

full name: nicoletta matilde cerulli birthdate: december 21st age: 26 height: 5’6” occupation: merch girl and roadie ship status: in a flirtationship with levi spiegel bio:

the moment nicoletta cerulli was born, she hit the ground running

the youngest of seven children and the only girl, cole’s family always knew that they’d have their hands full with her

the cerullis stemmed from a military man that had to move often, falling in love with a girl while on a new assignment and knowing he wanted nobody else but her

it was a mutual decision to have a large family, each one different in personality and disposition and only making them want more

barely a year after remi was born, cole came stumbling into the scene, giving the cerulli parents a nice little set of catholic twins

she was easy to keep contained until she knew how to walk — for the most part — and was kept behind a baby gate or within a play pen with a variety of toys to keep her interest

but the second she developed any motor skills, she was reaching and grabbing for everything she possibly could

cole always seemed to want exactly what she couldn’t have, and while that wasn’t normally a problem, trying to teach her to be patient was

she was curious and stubborn under the guise of an inquiring mind, and her mother was always ready to accommodate her only daughter 

she was their last baby and they wanted to make the most of it while they could, coddling all of their children but being extra lenient with the youngest

childhood brought more adventures for cole, as the family packed up and moved to their next new home

it was routine at that point, but they’d spent the first few years of cole’s life in goose creek, so being in a new place was exciting for her

she took advantage of being home when her siblings were in school, taking time to explore the backyard and even set up a makeshift fort for herself and her siblings

cole’s mother didn’t mind her daughter running rampant as long as she could keep an eye on her, and the young girl only ever took that as encouragement

she did a lot of independent growing and learning, relying on her mother to answer even the silliest of questions, which would often lead up to cole using it to her advantage

the only thing that seemed to really calm her down was music, a love that she gained thanks to her father

they would take weekly trips to whatever the local music store was, spending hours perusing the shelves and taking home armloads of new cds and vinyls to add to their collection

they’d spend hours locked away in his office listening to their finds, and cole could hardly get enough

by the time she started school, she was already at a high reading level and eager to take on new knowledge, even if it was an uninteresting subject

she found a group of friends on the playground quickly; they were the rulers of the monkey bars territory, and cole fit in with them almost too well

recess was her excuse to socialize and get out any pent-up energy that sitting in a classroom gave her

cole soon picked up a few more hobbies such as skateboarding and guitar, feeling like somewhat of a ‘cool kid’ in the process

learning how to play an instrument prompted cole to want to see live bands, and by the time she was fifteen, she and her father were attending concerts together

they felt like they happened on a weekly basis, a new show rolling into town that they’d drop everything to go see

it was around this time that cole knew that she wanted to work with bands for a living, and while her parents weren’t so sure how that would happen for her, they were supportive anyway

she was still in high school when she met her first serious boyfriend, asher 

she had heart eyes for him from the very start, but that didn’t mean he was good for her

asher had his own problems, often dragging cole with him down a dark rabbit hole

it was safe to say that she loved him, often trying to do what was best for him but doing more harm than good in the process

the heartbreak hurt, but it prompted cole to focus more on herself, which was something that her parents had urged her to do throughout her relationship with asher

cole made it through school with decent grades, but she didn’t really apply herself

her main focus was on attending concerts and getting odd jobs working the gigs, something she took on fully shortly after graduation

her parents urged her to attend college, but once cole set her mind to something, she never gave it up

cole worked the local music scene for quite some time before she was approached about a job in london, a place she’d fallen in love with during her family’s short time there

at just eighteen years old, cole packed up her entire life (and her older brother, marshall), and moved to dallas fort-worth so she could sling merch for a living

soon enough, she was hanging out backstage at large concert venues, making friends with her favorite bands and even carried out a few casual flings with some of the members

it was one big party all the time that consisted of alcohol and recreational drug use, and the youngest cerulli felt like she was living her best life

cole was also keen on traveling with those same bands, signing on to be a roadie whenever they needed her to be

she was living her dream and was completely unapologetic about it, especially since she had the support of her parents

cole has been in dallas-fort worth for seven years now, and she can’t imagine herself living anywhere else

she’s still just as chaotic as she was as a kid, but lately she’s tried to tone it down a little bit

cole is the person to go to if you want a spontaneous adventure, as she will happily sneak you backstage into a show

she has a very big heart and is willing to do just about anything for anyone

arguably too trusting in the sense that she’s easy to screw over, and she’s too polite to say anything when you upset her

still very much rides a skateboard, though she’s hardly decent at it; she ends up with cuts and bruises more often than not

she still plays guitar as well, and while she’d never try out to be in a professional band, she can play decently and is always down for some sort of jam session

her love language is acts of service but unofficially it’s gentle bullying; she’s very much the teasing type but will immediately apologize if she hurts your feelings in the process

overall, she’s just a loving bundle of chaos; as long as you let her roam free and love on you, she’s happy

how would atsushi, akashi and aomine react to haizaki threatening/hitting on their s/o?? (cue that one scene where he was literally taking on himuro, kagami, kise, and alex all at once 😡... basically that, but with their s/o)

ANON…. THOSE 3???? LONG STORY SHORT…. HAIZAKI EXPERIENCES DEATH (OR AT LEAST NEAR-DEATH) 3 SEPARATE TIMES…… BUT HERE’S THE “LONG STORY” THROUGH THESE HCs 

TW: attempt of physical assault, unwanted advancements… asshole Haizaki? cut under this to keep y’all safe JUST IN CASE

[Headcanons]

Aomine Daiki

you went out to look for Aomine after noticing how he hasn’t come back to his seat for too long

this was shortly after Kaijō defeated Fukuda Sōgō, and it was currently intermission before the next match rolled in

your face was met with crisp air as your eyes adjusted to the dark, scanning for any sign of your boyfriend

upon seeing no one, you decided to walk around the perimeter, just in case Aomine decided to nap for a quick moment on a whim and forgot to tell you

maybe you shouldn’t have walked out alone and in the dark of night, but you figured that in such a public event in a public area, you didn’t think anyone had the balls to start anything fishy around the stadium

oh how you were so wrong

you unfortunately bumped into Haizaki right when he was slowly strolling with his basketball shoes over his shoulder, and you immediately stopped in place, praying that he would walk past by you or perhaps not even see you

you knew that he wasn’t good news based from what Aomine told you and from watching that unpleasant game… he was bad, bad news

why did you think he wasn’t gonna see you? his senses are as sharp as a falcon, scrutinizing you before he realizes your identity

“Oh? Now what’s a pretty little thing like you doing out here… all alone?”

“I, um, I was looking for someone, but I realized it’s been getting a little too late… I think they returned back to the stadium, so that’s where I’m heading…”

your voice slowly diminishes to a soft whisper by the end, but judging from his widened eyes from glee, you knew he wasn’t going to walk past by you after this

“That so?” he drawls, licking his thumb. “The stadium ya say?”

something about his gaze turned sharp and dangerous, “the stadium” triggering unadulterated rage and frustration from the game and from his encounter with Aomine

“I… I really gotta leave,” you say in a hurry, quickly backing up. “Th-They’re impatient, so—”

“Huh?” he mocks, leaning closer to you. “I’m kinda of an impatient guy myself, yeah?” but upon even closer inspection, he realizes that he’s seen you somewhere very recently

“Hm?” he muses lowly. “Weren’t ya sitting with Daiki that game?” when you don't answer out of fear, his eyes merely shine with excitement… “Ohhhh… is that how it is?”

. . .

Aomine returns back to his seat after settling a score with Haizaki outside the stadium, but immediately becomes confused when he sees your seat empty

Sakurai immediately apologizes and quickly informs him that you went out to look for him, and Aomine immediately dashes back out… after all, who knows if you got lost in the dark or if you kept being persistent in looking for him?

imagine his visible distress when he sees Haizaki putting an arm around your shoulder while still holding his shoes and you looking absolutely fearful because you knew what he was capable of

this was a very rare moment where Aomine was not so calm and collected

but he tries to, especially when he knows that Haizaki probably relishes in the fact of “getting revenge” for that punch earlier (and probably realized the connection between you and Aomine to do so)

“Hey, asshat,” he calls out, grabbing Haizaki’s attention away from you, but Aomine notices him pulling you slightly closer to his body. “The fuck you think you’re doing with (y/n)?”

“Hehh? So (y/n)’s your name?” Haizaki merely pays attention to you, completely ignoring Aomine

“Back off,” he says lowly, almost to a growl. “I won’t be holding myself back to just a punch this time if you do anything else.”

at his hardened glare, Haizaki does a gleeful mock-surprise expression before putting his arm off of you and says: “Whoaaa there, Daiki. Never pegged you as that typa guy.”

he licks his thumb before walking away casually without a care in the world before calling out, “It ain’t fun here anymore, I’m bouncin’ out.”

by the time he leaves Aomine’s field of vision, he finally releases a pent-up sigh before calling out your name:

“... Come’ere… he didn’t do anythin’ to you right? Sheesh, I leave you alone for one second—alright, alright I guess it was more than a second… fine, it was several minutes… look, I’m sorry… okay, okay quit lecturing me… more importantly, promise me you don’t go out alone like that. It’s dangerous out there, y’know.”

when you finally ask about what he meant by his threat to Haizaki, he smugly replies, “Aw, that? I gave him a hard sock earlier. Went down pretty easily.”

Murasakibara Atsushi

it’s quite rare that Murasakibara would agree to going to Tokyo temporarily over break, let alone leave his house, but here you two are, resting on the park benches in Tokyo

shortly after, you went to the nearest arcade hall, begging and tugging him along with you to try the strength test for the jackpot prize (totally using his physique to nab home prizes and merch LOL)

he only agreed because you looked way too excited for him to turn the plan down

he still enjoyed himself, if he was being honest; it’s just you, him, his snacks, and some games you both are playing together

Murasakibara notices that the arcade also has a mini food court to the side, and he immediately pouts at you to let him go tasting galore on a food binge

and you laugh, telling him to “hurry up” to tease him and letting him know that you were staying here to try to earn more points to exchange for rewards at the end

you entered a coin into the slot and hummed before seeing a START screen, but as soon as it went black into a loading screen you saw someone’s reflection on it

Haizaki was right behind you

“Whaddya know? Would ya look at that?” he says, hands in his pockets while sneering. “If it isn’t (y/n).”

you merely pretended that you didn’t hear him, considering that the arcade was pretty crowded and noisy, and went on to playing the game in front of you

you hoped that by the time you were done with the round, he’d be gone, but his reflection was very much still there on the arcade machine screen, depicting his laid-back posture against the back of another arcade machine, watching you with complete amusement

after spending all the available coins on hand and still sensing him behind you, you promptly turned to your left to head for the coin machine and acted completely casual, but before you got too far ahead, Haizaki easily blocks your path with an outstretched arm, the hand against the arcade machine

“Whoaaa,” he drawls. “That’s pretty fucked up for you to ignore me like that.”

“... You’re blocking the way, so can you please kindly let me pass?” you flatly say, not bothering to look at his face

“What’s with the cold shoulder?” He tilts his head with a crazed look in his eyes that spelled unpredictability. “I just came and stopped by to say hello to an old friend from Teiko. Nothin’ wrong with that, hm?”

“Look,” you sigh. “You’re in the way, and I wish to spend my time here left alone. No, I’m not interested in small talk. No, I’m not in the mood for a bite with you. No, I don’t want to give you my number. Did I address everything?” you finally turned your face to look at Haizaki, but his face contorts to one of a dangerous beast

“Good, good…” he slowly says. “You haven’t changed one bit, haven’t ya? I was wonderin’ where that feisty side of yours went.”

perhaps you shouldn’t have spoken up after all; it only riled him up more

before you can formulate any further thoughts, he grabs your chin and directed it towards him, and you immediately froze up

you tried to dart your eyes around you if anyone noticed, but no one seems to pay attention

“What’s the matter?” he asks. “Cat got ya tongue?” when he looks to where your gaze was at, he chuckles before drawing closer to your face. “No one’s gonna help… not when they think we’re a little thing…”

but he instantly feels a heavy hand on his shoulder, and Haizaki turns around, ready to cuss the perpetrator out, but his eyes widen when he sees a furious Murasakibara

a giant with a very, very hostile aura… even nearby crowds dispersed out of fear for their safety

“Hands off of (y/n)-chin, pest.”

“Oho?” Haizaki releases your face and completely turns around to face him. “Well if it isn’t Atsushi… been a while hasn’t it?” he brings up a hand in a shrugging motion. “While I’d love to chat, I’m busy. Scram.”

“Touch (y/n)-chin again, and I’ll break all of your fingers.”

“Huh?” Haizaki licks his right thumb. “What’s up with ya? It’s non’ya business.”

you took this as an opportunity to run to Murasakibara’s side and seek shelter behind his back, which Haizaki raises a defiant brow

“Hmmm?” he smiles a slow smirk. “Was I really such bad company, (y/n)?”

his smile was completely wiped when he sees Murasakibara’s outstretched hand towards his head, and he deftly dodges his grasp before he walks off with a scoff

“I’m gonna crush him—”

“W-Wait! Just leave him be…” you held onto his torso in a full-attempt to stop him from going too far, and after a few moments, he relaxes with body and finally turns to face you

he doesn’t say anything but darts his eyes all over your figure to make sure there weren’t any injuries on you

he gently holds your hand before he tugs you to follow him to the food court

“Murasakibara…?”

“... You won’t be separated from me if we hold hands, (y/n)-chin.”

“I’m fine, you know.”

he doesn’t say anything more, and when you both settled into your table with your orders, he’s constantly staring at you and giving nonverbal cues that he wants to do PDA with you

becomes very protective and affectionate of you for the rest of the trip

grows very quiet and deep in thought until you reassure him that you were okay because of him stepping in to save you

Akashi Seijuro

it’d be extremely rare for you to ever bump into Haizaki, especially when the only chance you can see him is during the annual Winter Cup

Winter Cup arrives once again with the GoMs being 2nd years this time, and Akashi is still the same Oreshi ever since last Winter Cup

Haizaki definitely had seen you walking with Akashi very closely before the opening ceremony started, and it gave him ideas on how to “get back” against Akashi without directly confronting him

he was gonna mess with you

even after all those years, he still has that grudge against Akashi; the fact that he is one of the few people who has that power over him irritates him to no end

even when Akashi told Haizaki to quit long ago to help him save face, his pride was still heavily bruised

when he was sure Akashi wasn’t with you, he approached you while you were waiting outside the stadium

. . .

Akashi exits out of the locker rooms and carries his duffel bag before he heads to the entrance to greet you, excited in reuniting with you to talk about today’s games and your opinion on Rakuzan’s performance… that is, until what he saw made him beyond furious

“O-Ow…!”

“If ya want someone to blame for,” Haizaki sneers. “Ya can thank Akashi for messin’ with me, yeah? Don’t take it too hard babe, but I’m just returnin’ the favor… by proxy.”

Akashi strides over to the two of you with the intensity of death that would even surprise Bokushi himself

“Haizaki.”

at the sound of his eerily calm voice, Haizaki turns over to Akashi, and his glee is immediately wiped off his face and replaced with one of anger… and hidden fear

he suddenly drops you from his chokehold, and as you hit the ground, coughing to intake air, he turns to Akashi with a vengeful look

after a suffocating staredown between the two, Haizaki tuts and turns to leave in unspoken defeat, knowing full well the consequences from defying against Akashi; it’s something he never did in Teiko and certainly not something he would risk doing now

Akashi immediately drops his cold facade and rushes over to your side, rubbing your back and examining the slight bruises on your neck

his HIGHEST priority at that very moment was your safety, and he decided to take you to a doctor and then to your home, opting to cancelling/rescheduling any plans for today despite your objections

all the while, he coos softly at you and touches you with such care and gentleness that you managed to calm your heartbeat from that sudden attempt of assault

as soon as he feels like you’re safe, mentally and physically (and probably in a safe environment with either a GoM or at your own home), he reveals his true emotions on his face regarding the incident for the first time when he’s alone

being super considerate about your current mental state, he didn’t want to potentially scare you even more with his anger and much more negative emotions

for the first time, he allows his darker thoughts to simmer and stir… it’s one of those rare times where he wishes that Bokushi still existed within him

he eventually finds time to pay a visit to Fukuda Sōgō… to make nice… threats conversation

if you somehow figured out that he was going to do that, only when you convinced him is when he’ll decide to back down

but that’s only IF you figured out about how Akashi really felt about this…
