Platonic Astral Express Crew x Reader - How They Comfort You After a Breakup

For the anon I responded to before this 🩵 I really hope this helps

☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

•°~Himeko-°•

When she hears your sobs coming from your room, she gently presses the door open and peeks inside. Seeing you in this state breaks her heart, her considering you and the other members as her own family.

"What's wrong, dear? Did something happen?"

Before long, she's creating a stockpile of every single post-breakup item she could possibly think of. Tissues, chocolates, and so on. Her warm palm rubs up and down gently across your back, hoping to provide you some solace. Although she says little, her actions speak for her just fine.

"I'll be here with you for as long as you need."

•°-Welt~°•

Welt's paternal instincts kick into high gear when he learns of your situation. He appears generally reserved and calm most of the time, but when it comes to you or another crew member being hurt, he can't help but get protective.

"Are you sure you don't need me to get involved? If you ever feel as though you're in danger in any way, we'll do everything in our power to protect you."

After ensuring you're really alright, he quickly grabs a book out of his collection that he thought you'd enjoy and reads it to you. No matter how long it takes you to fall asleep, he'll remain there by your side.

•°~Dan Heng~°•

Although he doesn't immediately realize what's happened to you, being locked in his room, he eventually notices the others going in and out to support you. He patiently waits for a moment where you're left alone and knocks.

"May I come in?"

Once he gets your permission, he cautiously enters. Regardless of how close you two may be, navigating this social situation was new for him and left him feeling a bit nervous. He doesn't actually say much of anything outside of the basics, but you wind up with a new potted plant next to your bedside.

Like this plant, you too shall grow stronger with each day that passes.

•°~March 7th~°•

"Hey, did I leave my camera in here—wait, what's wrong?"

She grows flustered as you confide in her what happened. Her concern for you overpowers any other matters that were on her mind, making her rush over towards you.

"There, there, it'll be okay. Oh, I think we got some candy earlier. Be right back!" March darts from room to room to bring over anything and everything she thinks you'd find comforting.

If you need to rant, she's all for it and actively encourages you to do so. Regularly, she'll chime in with her own opinionated comments too. Stuff like "You can do better than them anyway! They don't deserve you!" Of course, if you express that you don't want her to speak ill of them, she'll keep her mouth shut.

•°~Trailblazer~°•

They will bring you video games to play together, no questions asked. When it comes to supporting you, their primary goal is to get your mind off of the situation. If they can get a laugh out of you too, that's an added bonus.

Once they notice you focusing on the game and calming down, they smile to themself. You deserve to have some peace.

Also, expect at least a couple of jokes to be thrown into the conversation. They'll try anything to bring up your mood, even if they end up being rather cheesy and pun-filled. As long as you find them funny, it doesn't matter.

•°~Pom-Pom~°•

"Hm, what's that noise? Is that... crying?"

Pom-Pom's cleaning comes to a halt as they linger outside of your room. They've experienced their fair share of crew members needing comfort, given their long time aboard. Still, seeing you sad... somehow, they end up crying even more than you did.

"That's not fair..." They sniffle and use their ears as makeshift tissues for their tears. "You shouldn't have to go through that." In the end, you and Pom-Pom wind up cuddling each other for the rest of the night, until you both eventually nod off to sleep.

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

Author's Note: Dear anon and anybody else who's going through a rough situation, stay strong and keep pushing forward!! Just like the Astral Express crew, you can make it through hard times ^-^

Astral Express once more stopped in Belebog to say hello to friends again! During winter, it had especially a lot of snow! And what's better way than have some fun using it~?

Stelle, Dan Heng and Himeko went to say hello to Bronya, while the rest stayed in the express! But not for long... You soon discovered that March wanted to stay in not because of we laziness, but because she wanted to use the big amount of snow with you!

Mr. Welt probably expected it... because not putting much of a fight, he just made sure you're dressed warmly and let you go, as long as you stay in his and PomPom's view from express's window.

"Think how surprised everyone's gonna be when they come back to see a snow fort in front of express!"

"Heh~ Yeah, that's definitely bound to be interesting. But... it might be hard looking at the snow here..."

"You forget who got the ice power here~"

She held up her hand showing off her powers, also proving fragile snow may not be a problem for you after all!

"Alright, alright, I get it. You're our savior~ Well... Should we go for something like iglo or..."

"Let's start with iglo and then we can upgrade it into a palace!"

You nodded to her, thinking you should've expected that sort of answer... But it only motivated you to get to work sooner rather than later!

You began collecting snow and setting it in a circle while pink haired girl used her ice powers on every new batch of snow to keep it securely in place and avoid the snow fort falling over you when you enter...

When everything was secured, you made a few circles around the base, to sew if you didn't miss a spot... and then, March volunteered the risk the possibility of disappearing under white powder!

"I'll go check it inside is good too!"

"You sure? I don't mind doing it..."

"Yup! I have the power here after all hehe~"

"Fair point... Good luck!"

She gave you a nod with small "mhm!" sound before entering.. when you kneeled to see exactly what she was doing there, you noticed she was safe and only secured few more parts... especially on the roof!

"It's good! Come here!!"

Encouraged by her sudden statement, you decided to immidietly take the chance and entered your own construction!

Inside was blindingly white... and a bit cold... But nonetheless, definitely less than outside of it! At least here you didn't had to worry about wind as much...

"We should get games here! And maybe something to warm up with..."

"Maybe hot chocolate!"

"Oh, perfect! We can bring whole kettle to be sure we won't run out!"

You got up to leave but her hand snatched you back.

"What was that for-?!"

"Shh..."

She successfully shushed you, as you were a bit too curious what this is all about... When you listened closely, you heard 3 pair of shoes going through thick snow of Belebog and small chatted between well known 2 women...

March switched her loud voice to a whisper to tell you everything, plan included!

"They're coming back...! How do we surprise them... Maybe..."

Whil she was thinking, another voice came from outside, belonging to a male. The calmness made it pretty clear it must've been Dan Heng...

"March, come out before you get sick again. You too Y/N."

"Huh-?!"

Both of you were stunned as to how he could tell so precisely who was hiding inside the construction immidietly... Also successfully ruining your plan...

You found it a little bit disappointing but March? She found it not only disappointing but also a bit annoying that both of you went through so much struggle just for him to ruin it without even falling for it first!!

"Dan Heng!! At least pretend you don't know next time to let others play guess game!"

[aurerue3]

⭐️ Hsr :0

⭐️ Romantic

⭐️ Personality: I'm the type of person to love going out on some days; while on others I like to be on my own and just enjoy the silence. I can get along well with other people; however, I can get annoyed easily depending on what's said or done. I can be childish at times depending on my mood.

⭐️ Likes and dislikes: I like to cook and make new things. I like helping people as well. I'm always ready to sacrifice everything to help someone in need. I dislike baking (actually hate it) because of all the steps and precision needed to fulfill the requirements. I prefer to just go with the flow and cook how I want, which you kinda can't do with baking. I like comedies and romance films, as well as a good book.

⭐️ What you like and dislike in a person: I dislike people who are fake. Be straight with me and don't beat around the bush. I like people who I con confide in and relate to. They have to be someone trustworthy and not lie.

⭐️ Hobbies: Cooking, reading, music, learning, volunterring.

⭐️ Other facts about yourself: Idk what to put here tbh uhh I suck at history but am good in everything is surprisingly. Fav character is Sunday.

Hiii 🌼 thank you for submitting the first matchup for this blog~ 🌻

I match you with… 

Dan Heng 🍁

⭐️ He’s usually hanging around in the Astral Express especially when you want to enjoy some peace and quiet. He loves to enjoy his solitude with you whenever the rest of the crew is busy on their expedition. Whenever he goes out it's usually for data collecting and exploring the area so if you are looking to go outside on some days he would love to have you accompany him while he does his tasks. He’s not the type to admit it but he really wants you to go out with him since you two can take a stroll and enjoy the scenery after he finishes data collecting, if he’s not too busy or if the crew decides to stay on the planet for a while. He also chats with you about different planets, gives you a brief history about them, and his adventures with the crew. 

⭐️ His calm personality can help you the most whenever you’re having days whenever you feel out of the mood. He can also arrange to have the two of you watch films (and introduce you to some of Reca’s work), read novels in his room, and have a drink in the party car. (He is not leaving until you feel better-)

⭐️ He’d love to eat your cooking especially while he’s busy with data collecting and it would make his day better when you give him freshly made meals and snacks. He also likes the thought of being the first person to try out your new dishes. (It makes him feel special-) 

⭐️ He admires how much you sacrifice your time and effort to help someone but he would tell you not to push yourself too hard and to remind you to take care of yourself. To add, he’s very direct when it comes to giving advice or calling you out because he not only wants to make sure you understand him clearly but also cares about your well-being. He’s willing to sacrifice his own time to help you so you won’t have to carry the burden alone. 

⭐️ Dan Heng is someone who you can trust a lot when it comes to keeping secrets. He’s not the type to overly judge you and he will understand your reasons for keeping it. Rest assured your secrets are safe with him and in exchange you might hear his own~

⭐️ Dan Heng is not only a great romantic partner to have, he is also a great friend. He’s calm, caring, direct, and values his relationship with you as much as he values his friends. 

Honorable mention/s: Welt, Luka, Sunday

I also match you with… 

Himeko ☕️

⭐️ Like Dan Heng, Himeko usually spends a lot of her time in the Astral Express but she will be busy doing her responsibility as the navigator. Whenever she has spare time, you two would be spending it by reading books, chatting with a cup of coffee, and if she's not too busy she would love to watch movie films you like. (she’s flexible with any movie genre-)

⭐️ Himeko usually goes out either for an expedition or for formal events/meetings (usually from Herta’s space station-). If you were to go outside the express you’re either invited to go with her or you will be waiting somewhere within the venue until the meeting is finished. If she is in the middle of her expedition you would assist her in any way by collecting intel from suspicious individuals, gathering info about the stellaron, fighting off stronger mobs, and so on. Once the mission is complete you two would go shop for some trinkets and treats (especially for Pompom-). It's a bonus if you find some locally branded coffee beans to take back to the express. 

⭐️ Your casual chats come with Himeko’s black coffee with your cooking. Having a treat while drinking coffee will always be a pleasant treat for her and she gets the chance to try out what you come up with~ To her, that’s the best way to take a break from her responsibilities because she gets a chance to spend quality time with you. 

⭐️ Himeko is great at offering advice especially with her years of experience (repairing the express as an example-) she is bound to give you guidance when it comes to what annoys you. She appreciates how far you’re willing to sacrifice for your friends but she will persuade you to rest if you’re reaching your limit. 

⭐️ You can trust her to keep your secrets and if anyone asks she will either tease them for asking or pretend she doesn't know and won't budge no matter how many times they want to know~ 

⭐️ Himeko is a great romantic partner because will always make time for you and make sure that you take a proper break. She will also cherish every moment she gets to spend quality time with you.

author's notes: just a little something for my favorite old man fr. written after a friend gave me a prompt for a fluff ff with welt, and while this isn't necessarily fluff, it is a ff?? HASHSH just a bunch of rambles! idk what i'm doing actually :3

other: contains spoilers for welt's hsr lore; posted on amino and ao3 as well

======================================

Welt Yang enjoyed watching the stars in this universe.

Of course, it took him time to actually take a liking to it. He still remembered well just how distant they felt at the very beginning, how much they reminded him of the fact this place wasn't home - even though he made a conscious decision to enter this world. How after that person left they seemed to almost laugh at Welt and mock him: “Look, you're on your own again!”; and while he was no stranger to that, it still made him feel… Bitter, almost. Perhaps not necessarily out of place, but still to some extent unwelcome - like these stars were poking and scratching at that wound in his heart that hasn't quite healed yet, never allowing it to close for longer. 

He would never admit it to anyone, though; not because of lack of trust on his side, but because he didn't believe it was important enough to trouble anyone with it. Even if it cost him a few too many sleepless nights, spent on tossing around in his bed and staring at the ceiling, and thinking, thinking, thinking way too much, until the voice of doubt in his mind became unbearably loud. Did he really make the right decision choosing to enter this universe? Letting that person leave the crew without a word? Staying here instead of searching for them?

Was he doing the right thing in general, or simply trying to play a pathetic imitation of a hero again?

He bore the name of the world, but not this one. It was likely an incredibly selfish way of thinking, but it wasn't his duty to save this universe. And, he also knew Himeko wouldn't stop him if he decided to leave her as well; no one was keeping him on the Astral Express by force, after all. He was free to do whatever he wished to, even if it was to continue forward entirely on his own.

Ultimately, though, he stayed.

The time he spent on the train grew longer, and as it did, his wish to leave became weaker and weaker. The crew grew too, with Astral Express turning into a safe haven for the new members, somewhere they could always return to, and with Welt eventually becoming a mentor of sorts for these young people. He didn't mind, really. Even more; he was glad he was able to make them feel safe, and like they had someone to rely on; he could tell they needed it, after all. 

His room began feeling more cozy, too, as it filled up with various things: some related to his work on the Express, some - to his hobbies, and these were a little more self-indulgent.

And it was only natural that, as he found his place in this universe, another part of him eventually took over. 

It was the part that craved knowledge, just like a little kid who always had a thousand questions about the world around them ready; the part that felt pure, simple joy just learning new things; the part that maybe, just maybe, never really grew up. Before Welt realized, he was studying maps of the skies of the planets they visited, learning the names of the stars and constellations, even the legends associated with them.

He was catching himself gazing at the stars more often, too: whether it would be in the parlor car, looking outside the window, relaxing with a cup of coffee or tea; on one of the Astral Express' many stops, as he stole an hour or two from his night sleep just to watch the stars if it only was possible in the world in question; or, finally, in his own bedroom, sometimes even in bed - which was conveniently placed right next to the window, allowing him to see a bit of the sky without needing to get up.

He realized he found the sight oddly calming and soothing as well, something that helped him collect his thoughts whenever he needed that - and sometimes, filling him with almost… Child-like excitement for the journey ahead of them; even bringing a soft smile to his face, which, unbeknownst to him, has been captured on several of March 7th's many photos.

Yes.

Welt Yang certainly could say he enjoyed watching the stars in this universe.
