💌💗VALENTINES LETTERS💗💌

Another amazing Valentine Letters!

Thank you to everyone who commissioned me for them! Also, I will only be sharing the ones I was given consent for so thank you to those who were ok with the share!

Here is the last letter I am able to publicly post for a great friend @dantesunbreaker featuring our favorite gremlin, Dew!

(see below for clear letter content)

Hey Babe,

I figured I would have Aeth bring this to you for me, since I know you're caught up with things in the office. I would have brought it, but I know that I won't be able to control myself from being a…what do you call it—-a distraction. That being said, I hope that Paps doesn’t have you working too hard. After all, you promised me that you would take things a bit easier remember?

I don’t wanna see you get too worn out on his account. That's my job. Anyways, I wanted to let you know I have been thinking about you all day. Especially this afternoon while we’re all just hanging out in the den. Swiss has been showing us his new tambourine routine, so naturally I got bored and zoned out. Thinking about how long it's been since you and got some alone time together. 

Last time was after the movie with Luss and Cirrus. Both of us all cuddled up in the nest of blankets. Your head on my chest and my nose buried in your hair. The T.V. going all static and waking us up after we fell asleep in each other's arms. Do you remember that? Those were good times and I can’t wait for things to get back to that again now that the tour is over. 

I know that tonight we have plans with your family for your mom’s birthday and everything…and I am looking forward to it, but it is still Lupercalia. That being said, I was thinking that after some cake, some games—you know the whole family thing. Maybe you and I could sneak away and go make good use of the altar. You know, the one near the south end of Primo’s garden? I am sure the old man won’t mind one bit if something else gets fertilized out there besides the roses.  

But anyway. I picked up the stuff to make the buttercream for the cookies and the stuff for marshmallows treats like you asked me. Oh and I double checked with your dad that he didn’t need us to pick up the cake mix—so we are golden!  I love you Babe and I look forward to seeing you tonight.

-Dew

How could you break my heart on Valentine’s Day??? Waaaahhhhhh, it makes sense but it still hurts. You’re gonna give me a part three or else 🔫

Seriously though it was really good! I loved it. I calculated and rounded up how much Naoya paid Mei Mei in U.S. Dollars and this dude really paid her around $17,500 and that’s not including all the gifts he bought Y/N. If I was Naoya’s parents, his debit card is getting confiscated. That is INSANE. I can’t imagine if they somehow managed to force out what actually happened to learn he spent all that on a girl that didn’t even RECIPROCATE his feelings like oh my god. I can’t imagine the earful poor Ranta is gonna get especially since this was kinda his idea for Naoya to confess his feelings(Although I don’t know if Ranta thought he’d go about it like this).

I wonder though if Y/N would reconsider Naoya’s feelings if she read his letter. Oof but now I’m thinking about what she’d do if she learned Naoya was the reason why she didn’t receive any gifts. I don’t know how long he’d stay on her bad side after that.

Hello anon!

Gee this is surely a really late response, but I still hope you know I appreciate your lovely words about my work!! Thank you so much 🥺❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I'm sorry that I broke your heart on the 14th haha it was kind of unexpected ngl, but that's just where the characters took me 🤭 though it's not all sad... if you know you know.

AS FOR THE MONEY HAHAHAH poor Naoya, he definitely got an earful from his parents, or more like the people in charge of the finances, I doubt Naobito cared enough to scold him (shall I make Tomoko involved? IF SHE WAS AROUND THOUGH THINGS WOULD'VE TURNED SO DIFFERENT) Damn I need to write a small drabble explaining what happened there, but in the meantime, it kind of went like this:

Ranta: What happened Naoya?

Naoya: nothing. *doesn't talk to anyone for weeks*

Ranta: That bad?

Naoya: :(

(he doesn't regret spending all that money on you. it's like a hobby of his lol he loves it.)

But anyways, I keep thinking that the third part for this series I would like something like an epilogue, a peak into the future…

Warnings: none. Fluff. A happy ending 😊. (By the way, this is the oneshot anon is referring to. Highly recommend reading this first!!!)

Happy reading!

“—And that, dumpling, was your papa’s and I first valentine’s day together! Kind of, not really, but it was the first time I got gifts from him. It was certainly different from what I expected, but if you look really closely, it was very sweet, and now, I’m able to look back on it fondly!” You smile; truly, who would’ve thought that you’d end up marrying that awkward, somewhat intense kid? And having a beautiful daughter too?

Though you could see in Naomi’s tense chubby face that this wasn’t exactly the romantic story she was hoping to hear, and you do not blame her, Naoya’s approach had been nothing short of alarming and unexpected, just enough to scare you off from ever considering something more from him!

But his subtle persistence, the small gestures he’d still give you even when openly denouncing he’ll never seek you again, is what eventually persuaded you otherwise.

Through his attentiveness when you were out on a mission with him, making sure that you were neither too cold nor too hot, either through offering you something to drink or his own sweater to wear.

Quick to save you from a curse that got too close, or a fellow student you were not in the mood to entertain.

Whenever you needed help with jujutsu—either a term you didn’t quite understand just yet, or plain practice. Naoya had much more experience than you, so it was only natural that you’d seek him; that wouldn’t change even with that awkward valentine’s interaction…

But above all, what made you see that Naoya might be the one you were waiting for all along, is the fact that he remembered all the things you liked, the ones that made you happy—from sweets, food, to even your favorite characters…

If his emotions weren’t genuine, he wouldn’t have done such a thing!

Perhaps your only regret is ever giving him the idea that you couldn’t come to appreciate him, or that he wasn’t deserving of love.

But that was long in the past, and after a few dates, and getting to know each other… you two fell in love.

Unfortunately, Naomi wouldn’t come to see it that way.

“What’s wrong, pumpkin? This isn’t the story you expected?” Naoya asks with a smile, enjoying the way she huffed in response—though that satisfaction wouldn’t last long.

“No, papa, you were creepy.” She pouted, and her mama could almost hear his heart shatter.

“Oh.” Naoya doesn’t even come to wonder how she knew of such word, undoubtedly from his cousins, but that would be a matter to tend to later after he mends his broken heart.

“Well, he’s done his due! Papa loves us very, very much and would never do anything to scare us!”

“Thanks, Y/N.” Naoya responds sarcastically. “That makes me feel much better.”

You giggle.

“Why don’t you leave us alone, pumpkin? Papa and I need to talk a bit.”

And Naomi obeys immediately after, not that it took much for her to do so, for her disappointment rapidly pushed her to seek something better, a bit more entertaining—like Mai and Maki’s daily occurrences, more ways to annoy her father and such.

Once alone, the two are able to freely look back on that fateful day…

“What I did back then was messed up, wasn’t it?” Naoya sighs.

“I wouldn’t say that necessarily.” You add.

“But nothing happened after that.” He says. “Things didn’t change until much later.”

“Well, I did get to see a new side of you, one I didn’t think you had.”

“What did you think of me…?”

“That you were… bold. Arrogant, a bit snobby too…” you say, Naoya’s face reddens out of shame.

“Don’t—Don’t say anything else.” He frowns. “I get the idea loud and clear…”

“But that you were sweet too.” You smile, taking his hand. “I’ve never been lucky enough to have someone hold such strong feelings for me… thought it to be something out of a fairy tale—Until I met you—someone that harbored so much love to give but didn’t know how to express it.”

“You make me sound much nobler than what I really am—I don’t know how you do it, Y/N…”

“It took me time to get there, love.” You laugh. “But it’s only because you’re so cute that I eventually thought otherwise.”

“Cute?” he huffs, ready to retort otherwise, until you lean in to kiss his cheek, gesture enough to have him willing. “Alright—but only you can call me that.”

“I better be the only one.” You warn. “Although I was hoping our dumpling would do so too when I told her our story…”

“…Well, I can’t blame her, it must’ve sounded crazy for her.” Naoya sighs. “…If someone dared do the same thing to my daughter you can be sure I’d send the kukuru to get rid of him! No jerk is going to impress her!”

“I don’t think that’ll happen; Naomi didn’t seem amused by us either way.” You reassure him. “And she’s too young to be worried about that too! All she cares about right now is when will her papa get her that kitten he promised her…”

“I’m working on it!” Naoya frets. “It’s just that kittens aren’t born until later in the year…”

“Well, let’s hope that you aren’t too late, something tells me that my sister might be already on the lookout…”

“NO, she’s not.” Naoya breathes. “I will never forgive her if she does!”

But you just shrug playfully, not really giving Naoya much of an opportunity to not worry about spoiling his daughter, fearing that he might lose the position of favorite human in the whole wide world against your sister! A rank Hinata has been coveting for as long as he could remember, competing with the rest of your family too…

A tough endeavor, though he’ll have something else to worry about now.

“By the way… I’m aware of what you did with with the gifts.” You say, he freezes.

“Ho—How?” he blinks.

“Shoko told me. Mei Mei wasn’t that… fond of keeping secrets that were too juicy to hide.” You reveal.

“That woman… she told me that—!” but he goes silent, understanding there was a much bigger issue at hand. “…Are you angry with me?”

“Yes, so angry, that I’ve decided to personally torment you for the rest of our lives!” You tease, at the mischief of your voice, a weight is lifted from Naoya’s shoulders. “I was angry, but… it didn’t last long, considering that some of those gifts were from people I didn’t really want to be involved with… so, you kind of did me a favor… though I did have to go through a whole day thinking I didn’t get anything…”

“…I’m sorry—I might’ve gotten ahead of myself trying to impress you…”

“Well, for all the chocolate I missed back then, you made up for me, tenfold!” you grin, wrapping him in your arms and placing kisses all over his cheeks until you could no more. “I love you, Naoya—you and all of your bold, extravagant, though a bit silly, ways. So don’t worry about that anymore, not when it was the reason that brought us together.”

Naoya blushes, letting himself be consumed by the incessant demonstrations of your affection and the acceptance of your words, for there was honesty behind them—even when a rocky start, it ultimately fated the two together.

What was once nothing but a dream, one that seemed so far away on the day you rejected him…

Now was his everyday reality—if not better, for it brought along a small bundle of joy that made both of your lives happier, although there were moments where she didn’t feel particularly the same, unamused by her parent’s antics from time to time…

But even then, he wouldn’t want it any other way.

They got their happy ending nonetheless :') Really, that day was only the beginning for them. It was enough for Y/N to finally set her eyes on him!! And the rest is history 🥺❤️

Thankfully I do plan to write a bit more of this HS AU, you know, the simple things like them slowly falling in love 🥺 ajfghajkghajghjkas this has to be one of my favorite au's (if not the favorite haha) can't wait to write them in time.

Now, thank you so much for your support and patience 🥺❤️❤️!!!! I'm really glad you're liking my work!!!

Take care, and hope to see you soon!!

The Distance

Secondo x gn!reader

Warnings: Some suggestive comments, otherwise just fluff and lots of feelings, one sentence of google translated Italian, this is my first ever time writing for Secondo

Word Count: 938

Love from Your Papas Day 3: Long-Distance Valentine's Day with Secondo

This is the brightest you've smiled in weeks.

With cheeks rosy and sore from beaming, you watch as Secondo sets up his phone to make himself visible to you. He’s without his paints and sunglasses, his white eye boring into the camera and right at you. It’s almost enough to forget that he’s not really with you.

Secondo is now nearing the end of his tour, and not seeing him for weeks has been difficult for the both of you. To your disappointment, Valentine’s day just so happened to land on a day where he’d be on the road. He found himself being equally as disappointed despite the fact that he’d never been big on celebrating the holiday in the past. But he knew just the thing to make the day brighter. Although he wouldn’t admit it, Secondo has a major soft spot for you– whatever brought you joy brought him just as much happiness, if not more.

This is why he is sitting on the phone with you, all dressed up as if he were taking you out on a date, which is what he would be doing if he really were there. Technology isn’t exactly Secondo’s forte, and his phone has already fallen over enough times for a small scowl to make its way to his face. But you’re just happy that he’d offered to do this for you. Finally, the phone stays propped up and he leans back into his seat, allowing you to admire him in the outfit he had chosen. It’s simple yet elegant– a black dress shirt with the top two buttons undone and the sleeves rolled up to expose his forearms along with some simple black dress pants you could see in his cross-legged position. 

“You look… wow.” Is all you manage to say, a giddy and disbelieving laugh escaping you as well. Secondo chuckles, a sly grin replacing the temporary scowl. You make all of the unpleasant emotions vanish so easily. 

“Cuoricino, have you seen yourself? You look absolutely radiant tonight.” He compliments, causing another excited laugh to come out of your mouth. Secondo absolutely adores your laugh. He is grateful for any sign that you are happy. You take a breath, trying to dial back your excitability.

“Truly, I think you look far more incredible than I do.” You say. You start to fidget with a bracelet on your wrist. “I really miss you, you know.”

This admission warms Secondo's heart. He uncrosses his legs and rests his elbows on his thighs as he leans closer to the camera. “I miss you too, amore mio. More than words can describe. If only I were there with you right now. I'm sure you can imagine what we'd get up to.”

You laugh and nod at the truth of his statement. “Oh, I sure can imagine it. I can't wait for the day to come where I don't have to rely on my imagination.”

Secondo chuckles. “I know, I know. And that day will come soon. But for now, I have a little something for you.” You raise an eyebrow as a mischievous grin forms on his face. “Check the closet.”

Bewildered, you rise from the couch in the quarters you share with Secondo and head over to the closet. At first, nothing catches your eye. It's just the same closet you get your clothes out of each morning. But then you notice a black gift bag in the top right corner of the shelf. You curiously take the bag and wander back to the couch, placing yourself back in front of your phone.

Secondo’s expression brightens as he sees that you located the bag. “Go on then. Open it.” He encourages. 

You carefully pull out the green tissue paper and set it to the side. Inside the bag are a collection of your favorite snacks, cookies, and a letter. Your attention is captured first by the letter, taking it out before paying any attention to anything else inside the bag. You glance at Secondo waiting anxiously on the other side of the phone to see your reaction. You open the envelope and begin to read his neat and pleasant handwriting. 

Il mio amore più caro,

Firstly, I would like to express how much I appreciate you and how you put up with a grumpy old man such as myself. I am not easy to be with, we're both well aware of that. But I haven't scared you off yet, so I must be doing something right. I don't often express the depths of how I feel for you in words. I do hope my actions make up for it, but you are completely deserving of hearing how I feel. I love you dearly, cuoricino. With you, I now have a place where I am truly allowed to bare my heart openly. You look right through my rough exterior, so I'd say you earned it. I'll tell you right now, I cannot wait to get home and get my hands on you, reminding you of my love over and over again. For now, enjoy your treats and know that I am always thinking of you.

Your Love,

Secondo

By the end of the letter, your grin cannot be contained. You refold the letter and place it back into the envelope before holding it closely to your heart, as if you were embracing Secondo himself. You've never felt closer to him, even with all of these miles that stand between you. But the distance is merely an obstacle that cannot hold off your love. He is yours in both body and soul.

----

Translations:

Cuoricino- Little heart

Il mio amore più caro- My dearest love

Okay I’ve been thinking about this all day, and I hope you enjoy this as well.

Phantoms first Valentine’s Day with reader.

(But like imagine Swiss giving him all sorts of pep talks and hyping him up for a good date with reader on valentines 🥰🥰)

Phantom makes me blush so hard, and I hope he makes you blush too 🥰🫶

I knew exactly what I was doing with this when I got it :3 since I don’t have any Valentine’s Day plans or any real reason to celebrate I have this for you all <3

Headcanons for how each of the ghouls plus Copia would spend V Day <3

Swiss is the most enthusiastic out of the boys. He is all about showing his love and affection to those he loves, he feels so accomplished when he can make them smile. He’s also a huge fucking romantic. He gets up extra early to prepare a breakfast in bed, being sure to send a sweet little message so you have something to wake up to. He begs Mountain to let him clip some flowers from the garden, even asking him to borrow one of his books so he can make a bouquet that really express his love. He’ll spend all day with you until it gets close to dinner. He slips away to cook you your favorite and steal some of the good wine from Terzo’s personal collection. He slinks back to your room when he’s finished intent on sweeping you away to a magical candle lit dinner. Unfortunately he doesn’t get that far because you give him your own gift you prepared when while he was away and he just absolutely fucking melts.

And of course, because it’s Swiss once he regains his composure he practically jumps on you. He kisses you with adoration and worship on his tongue. Dinner is completely forgotten about.

Phantom is excited because he thinks all the human holidays are fun. When he finds out there’s on specifically for saying I love you he’s even more excited. He loves his packmates! He’s so affectionate! He takes this as an excuse to run up to the others and give them little kisses. When he learns what a valentines is, he spends all day making sweet little notes to press into the hands of any Siblings he passes. He writes the ghouls and papa personalized letters though.

He gets his hands on little heart stickers too, sticking them on anyone who looks like they’re not having a good day. It instantly earns a smile when a purring ghoul with big purple eyes just walks up and silently presses a sticker to your forehead. He also goes absolutely fucking ham with all the extra sweets lying around. He slams down multiple boxes of chocolates.

Mountain doesn’t make a big grand show out of it. He has something planned of course, but it’s small and more personal. He’s going to wait till the end of the day, silently walking with you to the greenhouse. The inside is done up with soft fairy lights and the old stereo is playing some slow song. He holds you close, swaying with you to the rhythm. He sprouts some flowers around his horns just to show off a bit.

Once all the songs are done, he’ll sit with you on the workbench and exchange gifts. He’s over the moon getting anything from you, kissing you and thanking you for thinking of him. He gives you something handmade.

Dew is completely silent about it. If asked he’ll give the usual “cooperate bullshit made up holiday” but his actions speak louder. He is an acts of service ghoul. He makes absolutely sure all of the ghouls and papa are taken care of. If anyone goes to practice they’ll find their instruments cleaned/restringed/what have you. When Phantom hands him that sappy little letter he immediately sneaks into the bug’s room and cleans it for him, but he also leaves a small box of chocolates and a singular rose on his desk when he’s finished.

He does something like that for all the ghouls. He finds out what was giving them the most stress recently and just does it. He tries to deny anything, but when they all corner him later and press I love you’s into his skin with soft hands and lips he nearly cries.

Rain has a complete disdain for the holiday. He doesn’t like it because he finds it stupid there needs to be a whole holiday to show someone love and devotion. Rain is such a devoted lover though, so he gives in when everyone else does. He absolutely refuses to buy anything, taking the Mountain approach and hand making something. Rain will either draw or paint something for you. If this stupid holiday is all about showing your love then that’s what Rain will do. He ruminates on everything he feels and creates a piece completely dedicated to that.

He will feel just a bit insulted though if you do buy something for him. However, if he’s also given something handmade he can’t help the small little smile it brings. He’ll make you tell him about the process and why you made what you did.

Aether is very simple but very effective. He dresses up, wears an expensive cologne he never touches and takes you out. You go to a very fancy dinner before you two sneak off into the woods so he can let his glamour down. Though the big sap had it all planned out. Once you arrive in the clearing there’s a blanket and a projector. He holds you close to him while you watch a movie of your choosing, but you don’t get that far.

You stare at the sky and tells you about the stars before going on some tangent about how much he loves you, comparing you to the galaxies.

Aurora loves it mostly for the aesthetic. A day where everyone is pink and heart shaped sounds absolutely amazing to her. She decorates the whole den with fun little heart lights and banners and roses. She carries around a bag of those heart shaped suckers and gives them to people. She absolutely tries to get everyone to sit with her to watch shitty little romcoms.

She makes heart shaped cookies to share. If she stumbles across anyone who’s sad that day she’ll snatch them up so fast and take them to her room where she’ll make cute little crafts with them.

Cirrus is like Mountain where she’s waiting for the very end of the day to pull out all the stops. She wants no interruptions once she starts, you’re spending all night with her. She absolutely buys one of those giant ass teddy bears and balloons and chocolates. She smothers you with affection. She even got herself a new lacy little number in your favorite color. She genuinely doesn’t expect or really want anything in return, she likes doing the loving and the gift giving. Though she doesn’t say no to a few extra kisses.

She absolutely has Swiss snatch a bottle of wine for her when he’s down in the cellar rooting through Terzo’s stash.

Cumulus is all sweet about it. She makes a handmade card with the sappy little Valentine’s Day messages on them. She bakes a cake for you two to share while watching movies together. She wears one of her favorite lipsticks just to leave little kisses all over your face. Though, when you get her gift her demeanor quickly changes. You open the box and it’s a little photo album. Inside is a Polaroid collect of her either nude or in lingerie that leaves very little to the imagination.

She giggles at your reaction before slipping out of her dress to reveal the piece in the pictures. She makes sure her lipstick stains are everywhere.

Sunshine unfortunately completely forgets about the holiday and scrambles to last minute get something so she doesn’t make you feel unloved. Because of this, she ends up going super over the top. I’m talking like big ass bear, rose petals on the bed, balloons, candies literally anything and everything she can get her hands on.

It ends up leaving you wondering how long she’s had all that stuff and where she was hiding it. Sunny does not let you find out she stole Copia’s card and raided the grocery store that morning.

Copia is so very soft and traditional with his approach. He gives you little gifts throughout the day. He has a lovely candle lit dinner made for just the two of you to share in his office. His last gift is something he knows you’ve had your eye on for a while but could never justify getting for yourself. He is a lover through and through he is going to make that night as perfect as he can. After dinner he’ll throw some records on and dance with you, humming along to the tune.

He’ll tell you how much he loves you and exactly what you mean to him. If you pull out your own gift for him he’ll become a mushy little puddle on the floor.

Papa's Love

Valentines Day hcs for the Papas

Primo:

He's an old man but he's still a romantic deep down

Ever the early bird, he'll leave a red rose next to your bed with a handwritten letter, detailing the day he has planned for just the two of you. Don't expect that rose to be the only one, either. There's a red rose for every place you frequent in the abbey with a little sticky note that contains a "fun fact"

The fun facts are just him telling you what he loves most about you and also recalling his most fond memories

When the day starts, he'll walk with you through the garden and show you what he's been working on: A spot in his garden that's dedicated to you, showcasing all of the flowers you like and the flowers that make him think of you

Hopefully you'll enjoy some quiet cuddling while you two watch a movie

Secondo:

Even though he might always look and act angry, he's still pretty tender deep down. You're the only one allowed to see that, though

He's trying to make the most of the day off but you'll occasionally catch him trying to check his emails or looking over the leftover documents he has hanging around his room

Just pull him away from it and smother him in kisses. It'll distract him enough for you to tell him to focus back on you

Even though everyone has the day off, Secondo's ghouls are still faithful and will bring you two whatever you want or need. The day is for you two and Secondo wants you to remember that

He'll do his best to make sure you know that, even when he's angry and frustrated or even swamped with work, you're still his number one and he does love you

Terzo:

Good morning, you're waking up to Omega serving you breakfast in bed and, similar to Primo, a lovely handwritten note

Terzo apologizes for not being able to be by your side when you woke up but he assures you it's because he's putting the finishing touches on your surprise

The first surprise of the day (when he finally comes out of his hiding hole) is to take you into town and take you wherever you want, as well as buying you whatever you want. Nothing is too big or too small

The second surprise is taking you to the cliff that overlooks the city. He tells you that one of Papa Nihil's old ghouls had showed him the spot when he was a kid and he always loved it. The lights, the silence. It's perfect for him to be with you

The last surprise is dinner that he cooked himself, along with some wine that you could both enjoy. You shouldn't be surprised that he's such a romantic and that he's willing to spoil you on this day

Copia:

Please don't scream when you notice Smokey bringing you a little letter. He's doing his best for Copia

The note informs you that Copia had a fun little idea for today: you would follow the hints on each note and go to each spot in the abbey that means a lot to both of you. The first time you met, the first time you kissed, things like that

It gives Copia time to set up the little dinner date he wanted to put together. Too bad his nerve got the better of him and he ended up tripping over his own feet by trying to walk around 15 different things. The pasta fell on him and yes, he might've cried a little

By the time you find him, he's in a completely different outfit than what he's usually in and his eyes are still a little puffy. Mountain will give you a quick rundown of what happened before he helps serve dinner for the both of you

Please reassure Copia and give him lots of love. It'll mean a lot to him and he's still feeling pretty bummed out that he messed up a simple dinner

BONUS

Young Papa Nihil:

After Sister Imperator left, everything has fallen onto Nihil to take care of the abbey. You knew this when you started fooling around with him and even after you two became official

But today, you notice that his ghouls are working more. Notus isn't in the library and Neptune isn't cleaning. In fact, Ares has taken over Nihil's office and had yelled at you to get out when you tried questioning him

It's not until Neptune leads you to the courtyard that you realize his beloved ghouls are working extra hard so Nihil can have the day to have you all to himself and to spoil you

And spoil you he does. A night on the town, dinner and drinks, a movie. He might seem a little pathetic and shy, not at all like the Papa Nihil you knew when Sister Imperator was around

Later that night, when you're both winding down back at the abbey, he'll tell you that he realizes he fucked up with Sister Imperator. His ego got the better of him and he made a stupid mistake that broke him down. The man you went out with tonight and that bared his heart to you wasn't Papa Nihil, but instead Damien Emeritus, the man he hid away for years in fear of not being enough

Valentine’s Day (Tom Branson x y/n)

CONTENTS: smut (not to much I cut away) ⚠️ Fluff, kissing.

AUTHORS NOTE 📝: I worked really hard on this. It’s longer than most of the things I write. It was harder to make than the others and I put more effort into it so please like 👍

(Toms pov)

the servants hall is bustling with people chatting over breakfast. There was a significant increase in the amount of mail everyone got.

“why is there so much mail on a Tuesday?” mrs. Hughes questioned

“it’s saint Valentine’s Day” mr. Carson answered

“for you mr. Branson” said the kitchen maid daisy handing me a letter. I looked at the letter and saw the lovely writing of y/n. I decided that I would go into the hallway to read it. It read:

my love,

Happy Valentine’s Day. I think of you every moment of the day. Soon we will be able to be together in front of everyone. But I hope tonight you will come to my room at after dinner. I love you ever so

Sincerely, y/n

I blushed y/n wanted me to visit her tonight! On Valentine’s Day! I have been in a secret relationship for at least 2 years now. We were madly in love with each other. But we both knew we wanted to be more than just an affair. Her parents were trying to set her up with sir Richard Carlisle but she hated him. She was trying to find the right time to tell her parents about us. Anna saw me smiling at the letter in the hallway.

“got a sweetheart mr. Branson?” She joked.

“I suppose so” I chuckled smiling

(Y/n’s pov)

That day I was very excited for it was Valentine’s Day. Not because of the fancy dinners or gifts from suitors. And I did have many suitors who gave me extravagant gifts. But because I was going to see Tom tonight. I knew that so when I got ready for dinner I decided to put on one of my best and favorite dresses. So When tom came to your room he would see you after dinner he would see you like this.

This is the dress you choose. (I love it so much)

The dress perfectly hugged my waist and showed my breasts prominently. I even asked anna to do my hair in a special way.

(Your hair is like this with the clip in it like rose from titanic. This shows that y/n is more adventurous bc it was the norm to have your hair up back then)

Feeling confident in my look I went into the drawing room “ah y/n! You look nice.” Mama said as I sat down in the armchair

“Thank you” I replied smiling because today I did put in more of an effort.

“oh? Trying to attract more suitors are we” granny said chuckling. I decided to ignore her remark

“dinner is served malady” Carson said coming into the room. We all filed out of the drawing room to the dining room. Dinner went smoothly. Mrs. patmore had prepared a delicious dinner.

”but y/n there are plenty of young rich suitors out there and your not getting any younger” granny violet said

but grandmama I don’t want to marry for a title I want to marry for love. What’s so wrong with that?”

“well there’s nothing wrong with that unless your marring a servant” papa joked

the rest of the dinner went by smoothly. But I couldn’t really listen to them talk. All I could think about was Tom. The way he held me. The way he kissed me. And finally the dinner was over. I decided to go upstairs early and tell them that I wasn’t feeling well. That way i wouldn’t need Anna to undress me. And I went into my room.

(Toms pov)

it was late but I was wide awake. All I had been able to think about today was y/n. I looked to make sure no one was there and then made my way to her room by candlelight 🕯

I opened the door to see her sitting down on her bed in her dinner dress. She looked absolutely breathtaking. She looked like Aphrodite herself.I smiled at her and she smiled back “ hello love” I say

“Oh tom” she said rushing into my arms “I love you” and we shared a very passionate kiss

“ I want to tell them about us.”

“what” I say pulling away. A bit taken a back at first.

“they want me to marry soon. And I choose you”

I felt like I was going to cry of joy! “Love, I have been waiting for you to say that for 2 years.” I said “when should we tell them?”

“tomorrow I think. It will be quite a shock but we need to not back down”

(Y/n pov)

I kissed him fiercely and unlike before my kisses weren’t just full of love I want more. Tom could tell this and pushed me back “we’re not married yet. Y/n no matter how much I want to it we’re not married” he said also fighting the urge to kiss back. He wanted it just as much as her.

“we’re to be wed. And we’re in love isn’t that enough” I said looking at him

he didn’t respond and instead closed the gap in between us with his lips. He pushed me on the bed started sucking my neck. It felt so good that I let out a moan. He helped me take my dress off as I unbottoned his shirt. My dress took much longer to take off then his shirt. But when it was finally off he just starred at me with his mouth agape. I covered myself insucure.

“no love” he said reaching up to caress my cheek. “Your beautiful”

-skip cus yk what happened next 🍋🍋🍋-

when I wake up I am on my silk sheets in my bed naked next to Tom Branson. Luckily it was still night and he could get away. It was around 3 am so the staff wouldn’t be up yet.

“Tom” I said slightly shaking him

“what love?”

“you have to go” I said with a sad look on my face “I wish you could stay”

he kissed my hand and got up. He picked his clothes off the floor and got dressed.

“I’m sorry to say you won’t get much sleep”

“I wouldn’t sleep for a week if it meant I could spend another night with you” he turned to me smiling while buttoning up his shirt. I slowly walked over to the door to give him a goodbye kiss. But my legs were shaking and I was heavily sore so I had to lean against the wall and Tom.

“goodbye darling” I said with my hands around his neck and I gave him one last goodbye kiss. “Tomorrow we tell the world” and we both smiled. I looked as he peered out the door to make sure no one was there. And then slipped away quietly into the hallway.

I hope you guys liked it I worked really hard on this one and it was hard to write. But I had fun and happy Valentine’s Day! This took me a long time.

A couple of random shots from the Present Day Valentines

From top to bottom:

-Selene, who just turned into a teenager (barely twelve)

-Knox and Cassandra hitting it off on at the bar

-Sam and her beau (it's not gonna last, he's a prick)

-Mama and Papa Valentine always dancing together (they are constantly kissing each other autonomously, they're too cute)

-Nova and her bestie tagging with Nova's twin, Knox, the night before they received their acceptance letter for Uni.

[ask-the-calendar]

Papa! Papa, where did this pumpkin come from?

[Christmas motions to the jack-o-lantern sitting in the center of the castle courtyard. King Winter steps outside in his robe and slippers, looking at it curiously.]

...I'm not certain, but it's most likely from Czar Halloween.

Ooh! It could be the party invitation! Maybe he wanted to try something more creative. Eve!! Come down, Halloween sent his invitation!

[The king and princess look up at Eve's bedroom window, but there is no movement or response.]

Perhaps he's sleeping in... we can update him later, yes?

Ohoho, sure we can! The early bird gets the seeds!

[With this, Christmas kneels down in front of the jack-o-lantern and pulls the top off. She reaches in to pull out a folded letter, and when she steps back, the pumpkin bursts into flame! The pair pull away as the rising spire of flame twists to form the familiar figure of the czar of fall himself.]

GREETINGS, from the notorious ruler of the kingdom of Fall! I, Czar Halloween, am proud to announce that your beloved prince has been kidnapped, and now lay captured within the walls of my stronghold! If you wish to see him returned, you must come to the castle and face THE TRIALS OF FRIGHT! Do so, and you shall be rewarded! Good luck- you're most certainly going to need it! MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!~

[With a whoosh, the flames go out, and the entire thing disappears, leaving behind only the letter, a strong scent of pumpkin, and a shining black key on the ground. Christmas kneels down to pick up the key.]

Oh dear...

I'm off to rescue him right away, Papa! He went out to save me, it's only right that I do the same for him!

Please don't go alone. Find Valentine's and ask them to accompany you.

I will! I won't let you or Eve down, Papa!

Heartbroken on Valentine’s Day (open rp)

Hikari was happily enjoying Valentine’s Day at her school as she and her classmates were making card baskets. She put a lot of thought into her cards and a lot of color in her basket. She loved Valentine’s Day. It was a day that celebrated love after all.

However, she was not well liked in her class, so when it was time to give out cards, she looked disappointed when her card basket was empty. She frowned until a boy came up to her, seemingly sweet smile on his face.

“Hi, Hikari. Oh, you didn’t get any cards? Don’t worry. I got one for you.” He handed her a card that said I Like You on it. Hikari gasped as her eyes sparkled, until she opened the card. It read “NOT!!” In big red letters. All of the kids began to laugh at her as the color drained from her cheeks.

“Did you honestly think anyone would like you? You’re even dumber than you look!”

Hikari was heartbroken and immediately ran out of the classroom, crying.

Hikari, Tora, and Rini at Disneyworld (closed rp for @disneycarouselshalie)

Hikari and her besties, Tora and Rini were all super excited for a trip to Disney World. They had everything planned out for the trip, now Hikari just needed to ask her mommy.

She thought since Rini’s mommy invited them to Sesame Place, she’d return the favor and invite them to Disney World with her and her mommy.

“Mommy, mommy! Can we invite Tora and Rini to come to Disney Wowwd with us? Pweeeeeease?” She used the big puppy dog eyes as her go-to tactic.

The other mothers thought it was a great idea and experience for the girls. Not only their first time to Disney World, but also their first time traveling and going on a plane.

All three girls pleaded and gave Shalie the puppy dog eyes. They were heart-set on this trip.

Someone is walking by, humming a tune.

It seems to be a guy. A fairly short one, though. It looked like he has a pair of wings on his shoulder, a red mane and a pair of ears.

Cat ears. No, Lion ears?

Is this a lion? He seemed harmless.

@drive-by-roleplay

Hikari looked up at the man from her box and noticed his red hair, wings, and cat ears. Hope filled her eyes as she ran up to him. “Papa!”

Field Trip to Disney Land (open rp)

Hikari was super excited. Her kindergarten was taking a week-long field trip to Disney Land! It was decided unanimously at the PTA meeting and everyone was ecstatic. The only conditions: everyone needed an adult chaperone, they only had a $500 spending limit for food and souvenirs, only one park per day, and they all had to purchase fast passes so they wouldn’t get separated on the rides.

Hikari was pumped and ready to go. She had everything packed up and headed to the bus for their field trip. This field trip was going to be a once in a lifetime opportunity! Nothing was going to ruin it!

Will you join her on this trip?

💌💗VALENTINES LETTERS💗💌

I got to do so many awesome Valentine Letters this year!

Thank you to everyone who commissioned me for them! Also, I will only be sharing the ones I was given consent for so thank you to those who were ok with the share!

Here is the first one for my good friend @sisterofsinsaccharine for her OC from Copia!

(see below for clear letter content)

La mia principessa,

I apologize for having to miss brunch this afternoon, but I am unfortunately detained at the moment with some last minute things before the end of the tour. I have arranged for Gnocchi to bring this to you. Though I worry it might not all arrive in one piece. Last night, Dew informed me that the update I sent him was a mess. Apparently it looked more like Swiss cheese than a memo. Hopefully that means she is too full from that bit of parchment to munch on yours. Don’t worry, I'm only kidding! Anyway amore, I wanted you to know that I very much enjoyed bowling with you the other night. Maybe we could convince Sister to allow us to install some lanes in the Abbey? It’s been a long time since we used the dungeons—maybe it's too drafty down there. What do you think? It would certainly help to wear out the ghouls. I also must confess that I will not be able to make it tonight for dinner either. Please don’t be too mad at me. The Prime Mover and Nova have graciously offered to entertain you in my stead. I am truly grateful to them. I had hoped to be there, but wanted to make everything perfect and it's taking a bit longer than I would have liked. You see, I have something special planned for us in the gardens. A little celebration of sorts for just the two of us. It is Lupercalia and I want to show you just how much I love and adore you. I just hope you love the surprise as much as I loved preparing it for you. I will be waiting for you in our spot at 7:30 sharp. Please say you will—until then.

-Your husband Papa Emeritus IV (Copia)

❣️ Cutie Pie - loving it so far!! The production quality is top-tier, which I did not expect. The filming + editing is really nice too and not the mention the cast is 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻. Kuea is an interesting little fella lol and Zee as Lian is just hitting the nail on the head lmao. Their dynamic is interesting (albeit a bit inconclusive) and I’m also curious to see how Diao and Yi’s relationship will develop since I’m still in the dark about what’s going on between them lol.

Bestie😩✌️can you do a part 2 of where their child gets a Valentine but with Osamu, Yaku, Suna, Shirabu and u can choose the other one I don't mind😙tyty and take ur time🤠✌️

— HAIKYUU BOYS WHEN THEIR DAUGHTER RECIEVES A VALENTINE LETTER PT.2

ft. timeskip! osamu miya, yaku morisuke, suna rintaro, shirabu kenjiro, iwaizumi hajime

note: female reader❗plsss ofc I can bestie! shirabu was a challenge, yaku too 😭😭 I hope you like it!

part 1

•OSAMU was at the kitchen of Onigiri Miya when the door flew open and saw you and his lovely daughter in your arms "look a ma pretty girl! ya wanna have lunch here today bubbles?" the kid got quickly out of your arms to go hug her fathers leg "yeah daddy! wan’ sum yum’ ‘nigiri!" the smile on his face was full of love, he still can't believe what did he good to deserve the both of you "uh! daddy ya won't believe what happened to me today!" knowing what was going to happen, your hand went to your mouth to muffle your giggles "a boy, a pretty boy actually! gave me a letter and now he is my boyfriend!" the tall man stopped what he was doing, his attention fully in his daughter "no" the child confused "no?" "yeah, no boyfriend's for ya— actually we can go to another kinder right? new friends and stuff" as funny as the moment was, you needed to interrupt " ‘samu she's a child" his face dead serious, while chopping some vegetables "and a don't care— there's no way ma child gets a boyfriend, maybe when she's thirty"

•YAKU went to pick up his little girl after one week apart, he promised her over FaceTime that the exact moment he was back in Japan he would be with her "Sunshine! papa is here, I missed you so much!" he told her while bending over and opening his arms to receive her with a bug hug "papa! I missed you so much! I'm so happy to see you" picking her up with one arm while the other one was behind her neck to press her closer to his chest "me too darling, me too". little girl in his arms suddenly pops her head out of his chest ready to tell him what happened last week "papa! I got a valentine letter and a boyfriend when you were out!" he stops his way to the car, standing in the middle of the sidewalk with a fake smile and wide eyes "ahaha— very funny! you really got some jokes in there darling, so smart" she started signaling 'no' with her head "I'm not joking! look thru my bag and you gonna find the letter dad" he was spiraling to the car so he could see the damn letter, after his daughter was secured in the backseat and he was in the drivers seat, he in fact saw the little letter full of hearts and glitter "yeah— umh— no, we are gonna talk about this at home"

•SUNA had his daughter sitter on his lap, he was looking thru some sports clothes on his laptop while kids cartoon where on the TV "daddy?" "yeah?" "can I tell you something?" he raised a brow, eyes looking at her with a suspect expression "whatever you want, princess" she didn't say nothing, just got up from her seat went to the room and came with something behind her tiny hands "okay daddy, close your eyes" she carefully placed the letter on his hands "open them!" rintaro was so proud thinking his daughter made him a little draw of her perfect and loving family until he saw the initial of his daughter and other one with a plus between then, and a big read heart down it "what's this?" "is my promise letter! my husband made it for me and now we are married!" what are people teaching their kids this days? his girl was just his, a little more at least "nope, tell the boy the only man in your life is me" "but daddy! do you know how difficult a divorce could be?" he smirked before picking up her again and placing butterflies kisses all over her cheeks, little and high giggles all over the living room "I don't care angel, you're mine, only mine"

•SHIRABU was on his home-office when the little girl came running towards him with open arms "daddy! daddy! I missed you" he smiled a little before pulling back the chair so he could pick her up "I missed you too, darling. how was your day?" he finished the sentence with a peck on her forehead " ‘t was good, I got a valentine letter!" she got what? "I'm sorry darling I didn't quite hear you, what did you say?" the little girl sighed, knowing full well her dad listened to her the first time "I said, that I got a valentine letter and now I got a boyfriend" a boyfriend too? he didn't even date in highschool, he met you in college "did you know that Daddy doesn't let you have boyfriends? boys are smelly, I learned that in school" his child always, always, believed what he said, so she would dare to doubt his words "smelly!? I'm gonna break up with him tomorrow, after all I have you dad" his hands went to his girl hair, softly patting it before bringing her head to his chest "you're right darling, you have me"

•IWAIZUMI opened the door to find his precious girl sitting on the floor, drawing something in the coffee table while watching some tv, he carefully went behind her so he could have her a surprise hug "aaah! guess who got home!" he told there while tickling the sides of her body, little girl screaming his lungs out "dad! you scared me" he stopped, picking her up so he could give her a kiss "I'm expecting my welcome home kiss, missy���" his eyes caught the little drawing in the table looking at the barely well writing of 'i love you' "oooh angel, were you making me a letter?" she gaves him a confused look "nuh-uh daddy, that's for my boyfriend, he gave me one today so I want to give him too" he let her standing in the coffee table, looking amused by what she just said "and who gave you permission to have a boyfriend?" "do I need permission to have one?" hajime scoffed, of course, she actually needs permission to talk to a boy in fact, he is not gonna let anyone hurt his precious girl "yes and in fact, I'm gonna keep this draw for myself, I'm the only man in your life, the uncles too" now he had a single daughter and a beautiful draw, that wasn't meant for him, hanging in the fridge door

Read on AO3

“Wow, you look so edgy,” Thomas teased when they came to the photos of teen-aged Virgil.

It had been the start of his emo phase; though you couldn’t call it a phase really since he’d never grown out of it. The beginning hadn't been great though. Back then, when he’d first started testing make-up, he used eyeliner under his eyes. The memory made Virgil wince a little even after all these years.

“I looked decent though. And it fit with the aesthetic of my band.”

“You had a band?”

“Yup. I played bass and lead vocals,” Virgil explained, turning the page to reveal a photograph of Virgil with his guitar and bandmates. “That was our first gig.”

“Woah. Were you popular?”

Virgil shrugged. “Not really, but we did play a couple of different places and some parties. And there were quite a few fans in school.”

“Did you get fan mail and stuff like you do now?”

“Hmm, yeah. It’s different now that I’m a solo artist, but I also don’t have to deal so much with those annoying confession letters.”

“Confession letters?”

Virgil nodded with a grimace. “That was the worst.”

Thomas tilted his head to the side curiously. “People really liked you enough to confess crushes? That doesn’t sound so bad to me.”

“Well, at the time, it felt like I was getting attention from everyone except the one person I wanted to.”

“Who was that?”

Virgil smiled. “Your Papa.”

He could still remember those days when he seemed to get at least five cards in his locker every day. That first valentines day though was the worst day yet. He remembered walking back from class with Logan, talking about a movie they were going to watch later, and then when he opened his locker it was like he’d unleashed a tiger as the mountain of cards fell out.

“Oh, wow,” Logan commented as they stared at the pile.

“Ugh, this is really getting out of hand,” Virgil said as he began cleaning the cards up.

“I guess a lot of people want you to be their valentine, huh?”

“Yeah. It’s ridiculous.”

“Some do seem to have gone to extreme measures.”

“Are you talking about the giant teddy-bear delivery or the singing telegram? I didn’t know they still did that.”

“I suppose it’s a good service for people who would want to send unique romantic messages. But I was referring to that one individual who gave you a portrait of yourself with them.”

“Oh. Yeah, I’d nearly forgotten about that.”

Logan shuffled nervously before leaning against the lockers. “So, are you going to accept any of these requests?”

“Considering none of these is from the person I want it to be, no.”

“Oh? So, there is someone, you’d want to do this?”

“Uh, not this exactly. No this is too much. But his attention would be nice.”

“You like him then?”

“Yeah…” Logan was silent for a moment so Virgil looked up to find him blankly staring at a wall. “You okay there, L?”

“I’m… fine. Who is it you… like?”

“Can’t tell you.”

“Why not?”

“Cause I’m not sure he likes me back.”

“Why can’t you tell me though? You tell me everything.”

“I didn’t tell you what I had for breakfast.”

“We ate breakfast together. You had the same thing as me.”

“Not exactly. I didn’t drown my toast in jam.”

“You’re avoiding the question.”

“What question?”

Logan huffed. “Fine. Don’t tell me who it is. Are you going to do anything about your feelings though?”

“Maybe.”

“Maybe?”

“If I ever figure out how he feels about me, maybe I’ll take a chance. I just… I don’t want to risk the friendship we already have.”

“So he’s one of our friends.”

“Are you seriously trying to deduce who it is since I refuse to tell you directly?”

“Is it Saun?”

“No.”

“Miles?”

“No.”

“Peter?”

“God, no, I can barely tolerate him as a friend. Seriously, L, if you’re going to keep this up I’m just going to stop talking about it.”

“But…”

“But?”

“I want to know.”

“Why?”

“I don’t know.”

“You’re a terrible liar.”

“Well, maybe I just want to be sure he’s good enough for you.”

“I can tell you directly that he’s more than good enough. Probably too good.”

“You like him, your opinion is biased.”

“I’m starting to think you’re jealous.”

Logan blushed. “Jealous?”

“Yes, what, you think I’m going to abandon you over a little crush?” Virgil teased.

“No.”

“Good, because I wouldn’t abandon you for the universe.”

Logan smiled. “Thanks… but really, who is it?”

Virgil sighed. “If I tell you, you have to promise we’ll stay friends.”

“I don’t know who it could be that I would simply unfriend you like that, but I promise.”

“Really?”

“Really.”

“Pinky promise?”

Logan rolled his eyes but held out his little finger. “Pinky promise.”

Virgil linked their fingers and looked Logan in the eyes. “It’s you.”

“What’s me?”

“The guy.”

“The guy you like?”

“Yes, the guy I like. Aren’t you supposed to be the genius here, L?”

Silence.

“Well… say something.”

“You really like me? Me?”

“Yes, you. It’s not that hard to believe.”

Logan blushed. “Well, um… I like you too.”

“…what?”

“I like you too, Virgil.”

Virgil grinned. “So, still friends then?”

“Sure. But, maybe you’d like to go on a date later? With me?”

“I’d love to.”

Old Habits Die Hard

SUMMARY: Ash Lynx died one cold wintry day in New York City. Aslan Jade Callenreese-Lobo was adopted by a recently remarried Max and Jessica Lobo on a similar wintry day in New York City. One almost spring day, Aslan took his money, his new name and one plane ticket to JFK, never looking back. One cold wintry day, Eiji Okumura felt his heart shatter with one phone call. He stayed frozen and cold until one almost spring day.

WARNINGS: This is set post canon but still banana fish is heavy proceed with caution.

NOTES: This was for the banana fish secret valentine's day exchange.

Ao3 // Masterlist // Twitter

Eiji shifted the bag of groceries to get a better grip. 'I always underestimate the trip home. I need to start working out more.' He resolved to start working out as soon as possible. He had been home for months now. The time to move on had come. He had been helping Ibe-san with his projects lately while trying to figure out what he was supposed to do safe on the other side of the world from where he wanted to be. 'Stop thinking useless things.'

"I'm home!" Eiji called out in Japanese, barely successful in bringing the groceries and taking his shoes off.

"Welcome back." A chorus of voices responded in Japanese.

Eiji began lecturing as he came through the doorway not lookimg up. "Mei, I hope you are being a good host. Did you offer tea and snacks to your friends?" He was pulling items out of the bag to put away, unaware of his mother joining him.

"Eiji. t isn't your sister who has friends over." She said. Eiji paused, brows furrowed.

"Is it Mahjong night? I thought that was yesterday." His mother shook her head. "Mom, I am not sure I understand. I haven't spoken to anyone but ibe-san since I came back. I certainly don't have company." Eiji brushed off his mother's unusually cryptic attitude.

"Ei-Chan, please. Stop for a moment." Mei grabbed him by the elbow, leading him to the living room, the table full of snacks and tea.

Eiji saw his fingers first of the mysterious stranger there to see Eiji. Fingers he saw too often wrapped around a gun. Eiji continued scanning upwards, heart pounding, breath quickening. He felt hope bloom like a live thing in his chest.

Broad chest.

Strong arms.

Sharp jaw.

Green eyes.

Blonde hair.

Eiji felt frozen in place, excitement and astonishment and confusion filling him.

"Aslan." An exhale. Shaky and weak.

Eiji." Ash's smile was as shaky and weak as Eiji's voice.

Eiji sat down heavily, eyes never leaving Ash's. "Ash. My Ash. You're here? In Japan. Alive."

"Yeah. I wasn't meaning to surprise you like this. Are you okay?" Ash couldn't bring himself to look at Eiji after all this time.

"Me? Am I okay? What about you? I wasn't the one stabbed." Eiji snapped, absentmindedly making a cup of tea.

"Yeah. I'm asking if you're okay. You were the one shot though. I haven't seen you in almost three months." Ash said.

"Ash. I'm fine. I missed you like crazy. For the first time in a long time, it feels like I can breathe again. I am beyond thrilled to see you again. I thought you died." Eiji couldn't help but be honest. His heart and soul were lighter than they had been in weeks.

"I can't even imagine how you felt. Eiji, if I thought you died..."Ash trailed off, a pained look on his face. The two of them remembering an interrupted Japanese lesson. "I couldn't tell you. You had just gotten home, you were safe. I wasn't going to put you in danger again, just because I was stabbed."

Eiji stopped shy of slamming his cup down. "You are important to me. You always will be. I know it was my letter that got you stabbed. Do not insult my intelligence. " Eiji's voice broke on a sob. He pressed his hands against his mouth to stifle any more noises. "I just want an explanation."

"Max, Jessica and I decided that since I survived, that it would be best if I died. A dead whistleblower tell no tales. We broke the news of Papa Dino and Banana Fish. I used the money to get my new name and take care of everyone back there. The second I could I hopped a plane to be here. With you." Ash finally looked up from where he was staring holes in the table. "Eiji, you mean more to me than you will ever know. I couldn't stomach being away from you any longer than I had to. I know I am couple months late, but I really want to take you up on your offer." Ash's smile reminded Eiji of a cup of tea on a cold day, warming you up from the inside out slow and soft.

"Absolutely. Ash, I'd never turn you away no matter what happens. I will be by your side. Forever." The two of them grew quiet, unsure of how to proceed.

"Ei-Chan, is your friend staying?" Eiji's mother broke the silence, her soft Japanese soothing.

"Yeah. He'll sleep on the spare futon in my room. He'll be here for a while, getting settled." Eiji responded. He got up gathering the dishes. "Mom, this is Aslan. We met in New York. He is a dear and close friend of mine. Please bear with us." Eiji told her. Her eyes crinkled a little with her smile, eyes twinkling. 'Eiji looks like her.'Ash thought.

"Thank you Okumura-san.:" Ash said in moderately accented Japanese. "I tried to learn a bit before I came." Ash said switching to English in response to their surprise.

"Look at you, well on your way to being a sloppy Japanese." Eiji teased.

"No, thank you. I'll leave that up to you, it comes naturally." Ash teased back. He grew somber. "Eiji-"

"Nope. Yoi are welcome here. We can tell her more later. Right now, I just want to enjoy the fact you are here with me. Finally." Eiji cut off Ash's attempt at apologizing.

"Completely sure. Now, let's get ready for bed." Eiji caught his sister's gaze and looked at the barely cleaned table. She nodded waving them off with a hand. Eiji grabbed Ash by the hand pulling him up. "Good night, both of you. We will see you in the morning. Aslan, did you bring luggage?" The two of them headed off to Eiji's room, voices fading, unaware of his sister and mother sharing fond looks.

Eiji and Ash entered his room, Eiji pulling out two thinner mattresses and some blankets. "Here we sleep on futons. I will set them up while you are in the bath." Eiji led the way to the bath, taking the time to explain all o the buttons and options that were labelled in Japanese. Ash repeated some of the lesson and confident he could manage Eiji left him alone. "I will be right across the hall if you need something." Eiji reached out like he was going to touch him but pulled back, leaving instead.

Ash sighed unsure as to why the lack of contact hurt him. Eiji never hesitated to touch him when in New York. 'Maybe, he doesn't want me here.' Ash shook his head, stripping down. 'No, you just came back from the dead to him. He needs time and space. Your being in love with him doesn't excuse that.' Ash lectured himself. 'I'm fine. I am safe here, welcome here with perfect Eiji.' Unbidden the image of Eiji's surprised face and warmth from his hands filled Ash's head. 'Yeah, we'll be just fine, me and my Eiji.'

A while later there was a knock on the door. Ash blinked out of his light doze, both awed he slept and accepting he may be more jet-lagged than he thought. "Aslan, I have some clothes for you. I unpacked your clothes and things. I have it all on in a drawer in my dresser and on my desk." Eiji called. Ash felt affection well up in his chest. 'Perfect Eiji strikes again, always taking care of me.'

"Come on in, I don't mind." Ash looked up when the door opened, Eiji had his eyes closed. Ash felt his heart ache, this simple idea of consent, Eiji not looking while he was in the tub made him melt. "You can open eyes Eiji."

"Thank you for telling me. I am trying to respect your privacy. Your autonomy." Eiji placed the neatly folded clothes on a counter.

"You have no idea what that means to me. You don't have to be so careful. The difference between them and you is intention." Ash tried to explain. "On accident or on purpose, it isn't the same. You are different, you always have been, always will."

"I want you to know that I will never take from you. You are more to me that a...a...a pretty face. To me." Eiji huffed a sigh, trying to quell his agitation. "I am not having a discussion on body autonomy and consent on you first night here. Come now, let's get you out and properly dry. You'll catch a cold." Eiji grabbed the large fluffy towel on the counter.

"Eiji, that is what I mean. You keep taking care of me. You won't take anything from me, I will give everything, anything to you." Ash wanted to get out of the bath. He wanted to touch Eiji, but he felt if he got out the conversation would end.

"I will never not ask." Eiji held out the towel, putting an end to the conversation. "Please. Let's discuss this later." Ash felt like if they didn't discuss it now, they never would. The two of them would be stuck in a limbo of not wanting to trigger the other. Ash stepped out, not wanting to fight the first night he was with Eiji after being dead for months.

Eiji looked away, holding the towel out. He left Ash to get dressed. When Ash entered their room, The beds were made and Eiji was dressed for bed. "Come. Sit down. I'll dry your hair." Ash handed over the towel, sitting down before Eiji. "You're staying here right? Until we get a place for us to get settled, My family won't mind having you stay."

"Us? I like the sound of that. Just like old times, without the ever-present threat of death." Ash threw a bright grin over his shoulder. 'He is different than the last time I saw him. Lighter. Happier. Livelier.' "As long as they are okay with it. Just say the word and I'm gone." Ash interrupted Eiji's thoughts.

"I said forever, didn't I?" Eiji asked.

"Yeah you did." Ash closed his eyes enjoying the sensation of Eiji drying his hair. 'I could get used to this.' Was the last thing Ash remembered.

The summer passed in a blur. Eiji was busy helping Ibe-san but occasionally brought Ash along. When he didn't Ash spent his days helping around the house while learning his Japanese. Eiji's mom was enamored with his manners and integrity. Eiji even introduced him to the therapist he saw upon returning from the states. They spent their days together, Eiji never pushing past the limits that Ash set, physically or verbally. They didn't try to have another discussion like his first night there again.

Days turned into weeks and weeks turned into months. When Ash was moderately fluent and mostly mentally sane, he brought up finding a place to stay. "Eiji! I don't want to impose on your family anymore. I really want to move out." He was sitting in front of Eiji, reveling in the feeling of Eiji drying his hair. The quiet domesticity of the moment not lost on Ash.

"If that is what you want. I think you are fine and would be able to handle it on your own." Eiji's tone of nonchalance rubbed Ash the wrong way. 'Come on, Eiji. Show a little more than that.'

"Dummy. What I want is for you come with me. You were the one who promised me forever. Why are you surprised when I take you up on your offer? How are you this dense? Eiji, I followed you halfway across the world."

"If that is what you want. I would love to move in with you. Do you have preferences or a... what is that list called?" Eiji pulled out a notepad, making Ash smile.

"A wish list, Eiji. All I want is for it to be a house with a yard. Not in the city. And a large kitchen and an extra room for an office or library. I want what you want." Ash stared Eiji down for a bit, silently daring him to say something. Eiji flushed a light pink at the extended eye contact.

The conversation Ash and Eiji had with Eiji's mother and sister was easy. Eiji had stressed over it for days, mumbling under his breath constantly about how he is to convince his mother he was safe with the man who kept in New York for so long. But like most people, he underestimated the great Ash Lynx.

"Okumura-san, I cannot thank you enough for taking care of me for all this time. I will always see you as a mother figure in my life. That being said, I am ready to move forward, and I want to do that with Eiji by my side." Ash bowed his head.

Eiji's mother and sister sat on the other side of the table, their after-dinner tea growing cold. "Aslan-chan, you never have to thank me for that. I did what any mother should have. I am glad even with all the time you kept him, you make him happy, and he makes you happy. If you need anything, either of you please, let us know. We are your family. I wish you both all the health, happiness and safety you can receive."

"Does that mean I can call you onii-chan now?" Mei laughed. Eiji spluttered and blushed. Ash just grinned a little manically.

"Maybe one day you can for real." Ash whispered in her ear, face softening at her giggles. Then the words registered at she snapped her head towards him, eyebrow raised.

"wait, you really like my brother?" She whispered back.

"Mei, your brother is more important to me than anyone in the world. I have not had great experiences with love or people, but I am pretty sure I am in love with your brother." Ash whispered. Mei squealed quietly.

"What are you two being all secretive about over there?" Eiji's eyes narrowed suspiciously.

"Nothing!" They chimed simultaneously, Ash with a poker face and Mei with a smug smile.

"I don't believe you." Eiji shook his head. "Thank you, mom. We already got a place picked out. We should be moving in a week or so."

She pulled him into a hug. "You are my son. I will support you no matter what. I am just glad you finally found someone. You were so lost for so long and if this man helped you find your way, then who am I to deny you that. You have always been a worrier, especially to those who you love."

"I-mom-Ash and I-I'm not in love with Aslan. He is too good for someone like me. He will do great things. I am just meant to stand by his side. He is so brilliant and bright and wonderful and strong. Once he finds a place to stand on his own, he won't need me there anymore. So, I refuse to take more than I can handle, take more than he is willing to give." Eiji waved a hand frantically by his face.

"Son, no one is willing to fly halfway across the world for just anyone. That man loves you. He is making his own way and taking you with him. Don't shut him down before he even tries to reach out." Eiji's mom brushed his bangs out of his eyes, planting a soft kiss on his forehead. "Just be you. Wonderful, perfect you. You will find out what I mean, one day."

"Okay, enough mushy stuffs. Let's get to business." Eiji's mother grew stern. The two men grew nervous. "Have you done any shopping for this new place?" She looked at both their faces frozen in horror and shame. "Obviously not. Well, you said you had the place picked out."

"Yeah. We get the keys tomorrow." Ash said proudly.

"Okay, then I get to pull the mom card and help you shop. We will need to get you guys some dishes and food and basics and furniture." Eiji's mother looked almost overly excited about the whole thing. "I cannot believe we have a week to get this done."

"That would be my fault. I wasn't sure how well you would take the news, and every time Aslan wanted to tell you I froze." Eiji said. His mom just ruffled hir hair.

The week passed quickly. Eiji's mom was diligent in preparing her two sons' for their future without her. She helped them pick out everything from towels to dishes to the western style beds they wanted (twin sized in the same room with a shared dresser and closet just like here and New York). Ash paid for everything, sparing no expense, and ensuring they had everything they would need for the house. Aslan had a room for his office and Eiji had a studio. The yard was decent sized, with a nice patio. They even had a guest room at Eiji's request. The next few weeks were a mess of boxes, packing tape, moving, organizing, not-quite-arguing, organizing, moving. Settling in took time, but they figured it out.

"Aslan, if you are going to the library today again, leave out your laundry. I'll do it when I get back from class." Eiji said as he finished the final touches on breakfast.

"Sure. You know I can do it too?" Ash no longer had an entire government plot or mafia to demolish, he had more time to help Eiji maintain their home. 'He fell back into old habits.'

"No, I like doing it. You have enough to worry about, trying to increase your fluency and getting settled. You should just do things you like to do." Eiji said.

"You have class and work with Ibe-san and do all the chores. I just do some writing under a pseudonym. I can help out more." Ash tried to push again.

"Aslan, everything is fine. I go a handle on this. Enjoy your freedom. You worked hard to get it." Eiji kept his eyes down, a sign he was hiding something from Ash. 'Don't you get it? If you don't need me to help with this much, then I have no purpose here.' Eiji felt his eyes welling, h took a few shaky breaths trying to calm down.

"Don't hide from me please. I want you to be happy here. This is our home. I share it with you. I can't help you-" Ash was cut off. Eiji slammed his hands on the counter.

"I am happy here. Has anything I said or done; made you think otherwise?" Eiji demanded. Ash's eyes widened. 'No. Please say no. I can be better. I can do better.' Eiji felt the panic well in his chest.

"No! Eiji, what?" Ash could barely talk, words caught in his throat, the feeling of Eiji slipping through his fingers winding him. "Eiji, please. Talk to me."

"It nothing. I go to class." Eiji quickly put breakfast on the table. Ash grew even more worried, Eiji's English hadn't been this broken since New York. "Text me later, yes?" He left without hearing Ash's answer. 'Oh no. You are not getting away that easily.' Ash resolved to make Eiji talk to him when he got home. Until then, the plan was to eat and clean and research.

Ash used the time Eiji was gone to do the chores that needed done. Eiji had been trying to keep up with keeping the house clean, but they were still trying to get settled. On top of Eiji trying to balance the house, a part-time job and part-time classes, there wasn't much time. They talked often about what needed done, so Ash did them, doing a bit of shopping nearby to finally finish the house. He sent a picture of the last of the boxes and trash sorted and broken down to Eiji. 'We are officially moved in. I did the last few things that we had been talking about today.' Ash waited a few minutes for a response but there was none. He tried to not feel hurt from being ignored, not wanting to make this issue about him when Eiji was clearly suffering or harping on something.

Next, Ash looked up way to help Eiji relax. He got some ideas, getting the preparations done to be ready when Eiji came home. Hours later, Eiji's familiar voice called out in Japanese "I'm back." Ash practically sprinted towards the front door, shifting impatiently from foot to foot as he removed his shoes. The second he stepped out of the entryway; Ash swept him into a tight hug. They didn't partake often in physical contact, Eiji out of respect for Ash's consent and Ash tried but didn't want to make Eiji uncomfortable.

"You came home. Welcome back." Ash squeezed. "I am so happy. Now, come on. I made dinner, but I also have a bath ready. or a movie and snacks ready to go."

"What?" Eiji's voice was muffled by Ash's shoulder. "You're not going to kick me out?"

Ash froze completely, his heart stopping. "Eiji Okumura. What do you mean kick you out?" Ash's voice was cold and deadly. Eiji was reminded of the gang leader days.

"Nothing. I was being stupid. Forget it." Eiji tried to pull away. Ash let him, missing his warmth already.

Ash thought back to the old dance they had been doing since he got here. Eiji seemed to be holding back for months, going along with what he perceived as what Ash wanted. Ash didn't push, trying to respect boundaries he only vaguely understood.

"We need to talk. It isn't nothing. Eiji, you've lost weight and haven't been sleeping. I want to help you!" Ash trailed after him.

"You don't have to help me. I don't need help! I'm fine." Eiji paced the living room.

"Eiji, we need to talk. There is something bothering you and I am right here. You aren't alone." Ash wasn't sure how to comfort Eiji, always have been the one being comforted. He looked at the couch and the large blanket he had bought. He remembered how warm Eiji was. He snatched his hand, leading the Eiji to the couch.

"This is not a big deal. I will be fine." Eiji seemed to grow smaller the more Ash pushed.

"You said 'I will be fine.' that time." Ash settled down, Eiji settling between his legs, reclining on his chest without coaxing.

"Aslan, I invited you to Japan to be safe and happy. I didn't invite you here to be with me." Eiji said. Ash was surprised he was actually talking. "If I was by your side or not, I knew Japan was the best place for you. Even when I thought you were dead, I thought I should have pushed the issue more but hindsight and all that. Then you were alive. I didn't want to be a reminder of what you had survived. If I was just a stop on your way to true happiness, then so be it." Eiji took a breath. "Then you decided to move out. I never thought I would actually have to face the idea of you moving on without me. But you wanted me to come along. I was so happy; I could have cried."

"Eiji, you are the reason, I am here. Don't sell yourself short. How am I to survive without you?" Ash asked. He ran his finger through Eiji's hair.

"I didn't want to lose you after all this time. So, I decided if nothing else, if you couldn't-" Eiji cut himself off. "If nothing else, I would be useful to you. You wouldn't have anything to worry about. You paid for everything, the least I could do was work to pay some bills and the housework. I have never been much help for you. I wanted to take care of you like you take care of me." Eiji's shoulders shook as his breath hitched. "I wasn't able to do that. You've been worrying over me this whole time. Then you-you finished the house...I figured that meant you wanted me to leave. " Eiji's voice broke, Ash felt his heart break.

"Darling. My darling Eiji. No. I never want you to leave. I did that today to show you that you can depend on me. We are a team. Forever remember. Eiji, I love you. I love you so intensely it scares me. I want you to lean on me, like I lean on you." Ash confessed. Eiji's sobs got harsher. Ash just kept hugging and caressing, murmuring sweet nothings until he calmed down.

"Ash, my sweet Ash. My sweetheart. I said forever and I meant it. I love you too. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'll do better, I'll be better. You are so brilliant and smart and strong; I want to be able to stand by your side. " Eiji promised.

"Eiji. There is nothing to be sorry for. I love you. You, the one who showed me there was more to be then a child who was abused in terrible ways. I don't want to be better. I want you to be you. I want you to talk to me. Promise me that you won't hide from me again. I love you too much to see you suffer like this again." Ash soothed.

"I'll try to do better." Eiji tipped his face up, a small smile.

"Old habits die hard they say. You have always had a habit of putting others before yourself." Ash said. "Now, how about you take a bath, and we can have a quiet movie night. We can talk about this more in the morning. We can even have a chore chart and a budget sheet, so you feel like you are contributing more. I don't want this to happen again. I am worried for your health." Ash murmured in Eiji's hair.

:"A bath sounds wonderful. I need to wash my face anyway. You want to reheat dinner?" Eiji wiggled his arms around Ash squeezing him tight. "I do love you. I have been in love with you since the beginning. I am glad we made it this far." Eiji tried to stand up but was pulled down again. He looked up as Ash looked down.

"I would like to kiss you now, please." Ash waited for Eiji's shy nod before pressing their mouths together. It was a sweet soft kiss, syrupy slow and gentle. They pulled away, Eiji blushing and Ash grinning. "I love you too. Now, get your bath my darling, I'll reheat dinner."

"Yes, sweetheart, I'll be back in a bit." Eiji got up, Ash let him. After a moment, Ash got up and headed into the kitchen, soul thrumming pleasantly at the memory of their kiss.

'Yeah, I could get used to this' Ash thought while puttering around.

'Yeah, I could get used to this.'Eiji thought while getting out of the shower.

'We have forever, after all.'

Rivetra as babies headcanon:

• Levi's mother died during pregnancy because she has a weak body, which also resulted to Levi being a weak baby.

• When Levi was born, he wasn't crying and his breathing was weak. The doctors thought that he was going to die, but then they put him in an incubator (?) together with a ginger baby.

• Then a miracle happened. The ginger baby, Petra, wrapped her tiny fingers in Levi's hands and he started crying and having more life in his system.

• The nurses gushes over the two infant, and they joked about how the two were soulmates.

• Sadly, Petra also lost her mother two days after her birth.

• When Levi's father heard about the 'miracle', he expressed his gratitude for Mr. Ral by offering to pay for all their hospital expenses. Both men are having a hard time coping to their new lives, with the lost of their wives and the arrival of a new baby.

• Petra as a baby is energetic and playful. She's very curious and talkative even if she's only speaking gibberish. She likes to discover new things and she always climb from places to places.

• Levi, on the other hand, is quiet and low-key. His cries were more of a sob rather than the usual loud cries of the babies.

• Baby Levi is also good at hiding pain. One time, he was sick. But he never cried and showed no sign that he has a fever. It was only when Papa Ackerman felt how hot his skin was that they discovered he has a high fever.

• Petra loves smashed carrots and potatoes. She's the sweetest baby to be around and her laughter is just...THE. BEST. THING. EVER.

• But seriously, she's a happy baby. And she always makes a mark to anyone she meets.

• People always comment about her big doe eyes. Her name was 'doll' because with her big eyes and porcelain skin, she looks like one.

• Levi is pretty flexible. He likes to do somersaults and often bends and crawls and just stretch his fatty baby limbs.

• Which was also the reason why Papa Ackerman enrolled him in a gymnast class when he turned 4.

• Baby Levi and baby Petra first met in kindergarten. They were five then. And they were seatmates.

• For Valentines that year, they were assigned to give letter for the people they loved the most. Petra made one for her father and Levi made one for his father.

• Oh! Petra made one for Levi too because, according to her, they were best friends.

• "We're seatmates. Not best friends," Levi pouts, but still accepts the card. "And I don't even know your name."

"I'm Petra," she said. "P-E-T-R-A. Petra."

"I know, carrot girl. I'm a big boy. I know how to spell words."

"So, now you know my name. I'm your best friend now." Petra smiles at him. And little Levi thinks that he has a fever because he feels hot.

"Okay. Best friends."

• They were inseparable when in school. And one time during recess, Petra suddenly kissed Levi's cheeks explaining that she heard from the TV last night that you should kiss the people that you like.

• Levi thinks that he should stop hanging out with Petra because every time she does something, he feels that he's going to have a fever.
