could like make a second part to the horse dude/beastars x fix reader PLSSSSSSSSSS idk do whatever you want just please make a pt2

Yafya x fox reader

Part 1

One could take all the preventions in this world, be cautious all you want but another animal isn't… and you get all caught up in their mess. There is also such a thing as bad luck and a bike accident was just such a thing. It happened so fast, Y/n wasn't able to react to it.

**** The moment the bike hit the concrete wall, I assumed I was dead. The bicycle had flipped so many times that I had become disorientated. I kept waking up, only to become unconscious again. I preferred to be unconscious rather than awake. Because when I was awake I could taste the coppery blood pooling in my mouth. I could feel it grazing my teeth and soaking my tongue. I felt the aching and cracks in my bones. Each crack felt like rocks were burrowing into my skin. I sucked in cramped air, feeling my lungs caving in on themselves. I could hear the sound. It was a noise, mangled metal. I saw the spots in the corners of my vision. Then came a blue flicker, the sound of sirens in the distance.

****

To say Yafya was panicking, was an understatement. The horse swallowed hard, trying to keep the stoic expression he was known to wear. But from the corner of his eye, Gosha could tell his friend was scared. He was scared of losing someone who had crawled their way into his heart unexpectedly. The ride to the hospital was rather quiet; time seemed to pass in slow motion. Yafya decided to keep his eyes on the road, keeping himself from spiraling. 'What if the last thing he sees is your lifeless body, rotting away in a hospital bed?' 'What if you died, without ever knowing how much he loved you and how you are worthy?' 'What if you leave this world feeling underappreciated, filled with bitterness about all the animals (including him) that took you for granted?' It was clear that the view wasn't helping him at all with his thoughts.

**** Once the nurse greeted them and explained the accident, she let the visitors through Y/N's room, where the little fox was resting. Louis and Legoshi felt bad when they saw Y/N. After their unexpected visit a few months ago, they had become quite close, since there wasn't a big age difference. Haru had also been introduced to Y/N and had hit it off immediately. After a couple of minutes, the only one present was Yafya.

**** It hadn't been long since the accident, and as my aburn eyes open slowly, adjusting to the light of the room, I remembered my near-death experience vividly. I didn't exactly know where I was but from the cold metal bed rails, the soft pillows, and the scent of get-well flowers, I could guess it was a hospital. But what really got my attention was the soft snoring sounds that came from below. Slowly, I turned my gaze to the sleeping horse, sitting next to me on the floor, his hand holding my own. Looking at him, Yafya's pose didn't seem at all comfortable. Despite his young appearance, Yafaya was already in his 50s and it made me worry that his body could possibly hurt later on. Subconsciously, my small hand started caressing his much bigger one. His hand was rough, his nails shorter than mine, but I couldn't care less. My eyes traced over his facial features; loose strands of his black crest falling, covering his eyes. Though my scouting came to an end when the sound of the door opening interrupted my concentration. Panicking, I closed my eyes, pretending to be asleep. The doctor and nurse stepped into the room, waking Yafya in the process. I kept my eyes close. Attentively, I listened to the doctor and the old herbivore talking about me. After asking about personal information and things such as insurance, the nurse replaced my serum and both left the room again. I could feel Yafya's intense gaze on me, but my eyes were kept shut. After a couple of silent seconds, I heard a chair being dragged across the floor, shuffling, and silence again. I tried my best to keep my cover and act unconscious as best as I could. My curiosity slowly betraying me. "I like you," he finally said. "No, I'm not expecting a reaction, I'm just stating the fact that I like you. I've been in major denial for months now, denying these feelings inside my heart but I'm done. I like you. There… it's out in the world." Yafya took a deep breath before continuing, "I like you, and if you don't feel the same, that is okay too. I'm not expecting you to like me back, no one ever does." And I could only wonder how the hell someone could see his face, hear his thoughts, and look at his smile, but not fall in love with him.

Yandere! Yafya is so good to think about, I wanna know more about that pls if you have any opinions 👀

You're speaking my language...bless

-Maeve

Yandere is a portmanteau of two Japanese words. The first is yanderu, which means “to be sick,” and the second is deredere, used here for “lovestruck.” A yandere is often sweet, caring, and innocent before switching into someone who displays an extreme, often violent or psychotic, level of devotion to a love interest.

Yandere!Yafya

Let's get this out of the way first. Yandere! Yafya is one of the most, if not the most, dangerous yandere in the series. He has money, power, and resources. He canonically gets away with murder, imagine what he could do without any morals

Scratch that, he is the most dangerous

Yafya will always think he knows what's best for you. He wants you to be happy, but if you're doing something he perceives as a risk, you wont be doing it much longer.

Yafya is a yandere that denies that he's a yandere. He knows something about him isn't normal, but he pretends that he's just like everyone else to fit in.

The first time he sees you, he's sold. Everything around him slows down, and stops, the moment you're in his sight. Once you've caught his eye, there's nothing he wont do to have you.

Yafya will likely disguise himself when he meets you. You may meet a zebra, and you quickly find that this zerba is entangled in everything you do. Any schooling, work, or projects you have...he's suddenly there.

Yafya is big on kissing the back of you knuckles

If there's a goal you have, and something is in the way, suddenly it's gone. Money? Yafya has it. Influence? He has it. Being Yafya's darling means there's not dream you can't achieve (with his blessing, of course)

Yafya is very repressed in a lot of ways, so he tends to show affection by buying you items. He wants to be more emotionally available, but he has years of unlearning to do.

Yafya's nicknames for you include 'Darling' 'Gorgous/Handsome'

Yafya trusts you so intensely that he'll have you put your hands over his eyes so he can have a few rare moments of calm

Yandere!Yafya will try to have you move in with him as soon as possible. The closer you are, the better. You may find that your apartment is suddenly having a change of ownership, or your plumbing has suddenly gone out.

I have so many more but I'll stop

Yafya x cat! Reader

!disclaimer! I've never written fanfic before in my life much less publish it so...be gentle

•Author's note: I adore Yafya and the amount of reader insert fanfic in this community that isn't with legosi is practically non existent so...I thought I'd contribute a little Haha, also (P/C) is pelt color, Enjoy~

-Devil

-●◇●◇●-

(Y/N) sat next to Yafya while he took the mice's report. Yafya was wearing his bandages but he could still feel the intense stare his partner was giving him.

"Hey Yafya..." said (Y/N).

"What is it?" Asked the beastar as he turned towards the (P/C) feline

"Can I borrow some of your bandages from now on?"

"My bandages? Why would you want them?"

(Y/N)'s tail began to swing slightly

"It's just...you're so gorgeous! Every time I see you I feel like I wanna cry because you're so beautiful"

the beastar's lover became flustered "so I thought if I couldn't see you then I wouldn't want to cry and then we'd hang out more" they reached to cover their face in embarrassment but Yafya interrupted them.

"In that case" the darkened male uncovered his eyes and stared intently at his dear "whenever I'm with you I'll take my bandages off and I'll stare at you with the same love that you stare at me with" Yafya smiled gently seeing (Y/N) calming down and smiling at him.

"That sounds nice" said the cat.

And so they both spend the rest of the day infatuated with each other and very much in love

~The end~

I really appreciate the support I’ve been getting with this series! ❤️

[psychicdreamfriendoperator]

may i please request headcannons on how Yafya would deal with a carnivore partner? thank you!

Yahya × Carnivore!Reader

Spoilers Below

This post contains potential spoilers for the ‘Revenge of the Love Failure’ arc and onwards.

.

.

.

People seem to love the asshole horse 👁️👁️

I briefly explored Yahya having a carnivore lover here.

This is a bit short. My headcanons haven't changed much since then— at the same time though, I didn't wish to be redundant and just repeat what I said before.

Nevertheless, I hope you enjoy!

— Psychic

.

.

.

Things To Note

Carnivores may not know Yahya by name, but they have all heard about the Black Devil.

If carnivores are hellspawn, then the Black Devil is hell itself.

As a carnivore, you have heard stories about him. Stories are hard to forget, and it will be a while until you are comfortable around your lover.

Likewise, Yahya has quite a few problematic views of his own. This isn't a case of “true love can fix him”— this is a case of “he needs to get professional help”.

He's always had problems dealing with negative emotions— especially when it came to carnivores.

Bottom line: the both of you will need to be patient with each other. Honesty is the best policy — at least, if either of you want this relationship to work.

.

.

.

Emotional Hurdles

Yahya is a very emotional creature.

His emotions are raw, and raw emotions tend to fester and grow into animosity over time. And then, they die out.

But with Yahya, his emotions don't die— they are buried. Like a poison, they seep into his daily actions, and into his beliefs, where he always manages to justify his feelings.

Case in point: Yahya held a violent grudge against carnivores, and against interspecies relationships all because an interspecies relationship came in between his friendship with Gosha, a carnivore.

This being said, expect Yahya to project that animosity onto a carnivorous partner.

Similarly, expect a carnivore S/O to be fearful of Yahya at first— the Black Devil is just that; a devil.

Alternatively, Yahya’s partner may feel guilty over their relationship with him.

Every carnivore knows that he kills their kind; and gets away with it. You know this, and yet, you still allow yourself to be in a relationship with him.

Wouldn't that make you a traitor to carnivore-kind, in a sense?

You have to fight off these thoughts often.

.

.

.

The Garden

I can imagine Yahya warning his lover about the Garden.

Perhaps he would specify that “vicious carnivores” serve as the fertilizer. But of course, his S/O isn't a vicious carnivore, so, they don't have anything to worry about.

Right?

.

.

.

Courtship

Yahya doesn't have too much experience with courtship, but he gives it his best shot.

He may even swallow his pride and ask Gosha for assistance.

He doesn't know whether or not carnivores have different traditions, and he doesn't wish to offend you in any way.

He's also not a very affectionate person, but he would be willing to cuddle if you initiated it.

He grows to enjoy your affection, but, it takes him a long while before he's able to admit it.

[couldyouspeakmyname]

May I request headcannons for Yafya with a snow leopard partner 😩

Yes, yes you can

- Maeve

Yafya doesn’t like being in relationships, so when he finally settles down with you? A carnivore? He trusts you with his life

He’d never allow you to go on patrol with him, but he does teach you self defense. He also loves training with you.

Snow leopards have those beautiful, long, expressive tails. Yafya can’t help but pet it when you give him an opportunity

Likes snuggling with you, though he hates to admit it

As a feline, you’re probably independent, and that takes a lot of pressure off Yafya, who is frequently busy. He doesn’t feel like he’s abandoning you when a mission runs long. 

Dating a carnivore himself? Yafya starts feeling guilty about his garden, his prior actions, and makes a silent vow to make it up somehow. He’s probably going to start donating more to charity, and investing in schools that have both herbivores and carnivores in them. 

Overworks himself, a lot. So it actually really helps that he has a feline partner. Felines are really good at inserting themselves into situations. It wouldn’t be unusually for you to scoot close to Yafya, and eventually cause him to go to bed at a semi-reasonable hour. 

Yafya is also a lot less likely to take missions back to back, he wants to spend a small bit of time with you. Legoshi and Louis can handle the small ones, right?

Likes to just stay awake at night and hold you close, burying his face in your neck, and appreciating your thick fur. 

[couldyouspeakmyname]

Do you think Yafya would be easy to take care of when he's sick? I can see him insisting to do work while he's literally looking like he's about to pass out but on the other hand, I see him just laying in bed all day while looking miserable 💀

He's an asshole that would rest as easy as I do, which is not at all

-Maeve

He’s going to drag himself around, half dead. He looks terrible, tired, and looks his actual age. 

He can barely keep his eyes open, he has a burning fever, but he insists he’s fine

Will fall asleep standing. 

You will have to drag him away from his equipment 

He wont admit he’s sick until he’s so ill that he can’t get out of bed

The rats will have to get you tbh. 

You have to guilt him to stay with you. You call it a staycation, but everyone knows that’s just a way for him to relax without loosing his pride

Wont ask you for help, but will stare intensely at you, then whatever he needs, then back

he won’t want to get you sick, so he won’t let you snuggle with him. He does want you in the room with him regardless. He only relaxes completely when he knows his trusted partner is there to watch out for him

Hates taking pills. They’re giant and he wants none of it. He also hates cough medications. A giant baby, really. You may have to get creative. He will be dramatic

Even if he can’t snuggle with you, he likes to hold your hand.

Will want to watch cop shows and criticize them for fun. Likes older black and white movies that don’t have as many effects in them, it’s easier on his senses.

Carrot soup every meal. Please??

Will constantly check in with work to make sure everyone is okay without him

Added Bonus! You call Louis and Legoshi to help deal with his job while he’s gone. They do…decently.

[couldyouspeakmyname]

Hello! May I please request Agatha and Yafya with a carnivore reader that's really chill, flirty and rarely gets flustered and nuzzles them at really random times. They also do the most chaotic things with a completely straight face. Thank you!

You absolutely can!! Agata and Yafya are some of my faves

-Maeve

Yafya

He’s...not great with PDA, and will probably get grouchy when you flirt in public, or when you nuzzle him. If he’s still working, he’s going to ask you to cut it out fast. He has a reputation to uphold, and he’s not going to let you tarnish it, even if he cares about you. He has a complex about dating a carnivore to begin with, he’s not ready to let the world see him yet. 

Privately though? Totally different story. He loves the affection, even if he doesn’t admit it. He’ll lean in to your touch, and when you pull away he may follow. 

He may come up behind you if you’re in the middle of a task and just wrap his arms around your waist and rest his head on your shoulder. 

The fact you’re so chill works in your favor. Yafya is so high stung that he can’t easily relax. So having some easy going and calm evens him out. Having you be a little chaotic also keeps you interesting. 

He’s older, so you’d have to get creative with your flirting. When you do, he  take a few seconds to really understand what you said, than makes some snippy remark. He doesn’t mind it, he just doesn’t know how to respond. 

Agata

Agata gets REALLY flustered initially when you nuzzle him in public. He usually doesn’t expect it, so when it happens he gets kind of embarrassed. He quickly gets used to it though, and it actually makes him happy. Just, don’t do it in front of the guys. Free will never let him live it down.

Agata will totally give you kisses, and will nuzzle you back if he’s not working. 

When you say chaotic things, he automatically gets fluffed up in shock. He gives you a look, but half the time he laughs because of your delivery. You’re just so straight faced, so he never expects it. 

Agata can’t stay calm when you flirt. He gets flustered each and every single time without fail. At least you think it’s fun. 

[couldyouspeakmyname]

May I have headcannons of Louis or Yafya getting sick after overworking themselves even when their s/o told them to rest and when their s/o takes care of them, they just radiate smug "I told you so" energy

I relate to this so much

-Maeve

Yafya

He doesn’t keep track of how long he works, he just does it and accepts that that’s how his life is. He’s done it since he was young, the daily fifteen or more hour grind is normal for him

He tells you this when you realize just how much he works. You shouldn’t be able to wake up at three in the morning alone, just because he needed random paperwork done. It didn’t help that he would write the same sentence fifteen times over because he couldn’t concentrate enough to do it properly. 

Yafya’s not young anymore, and overworking when he was young is probably a big contributing factor to why his knees ache whenever he does anything physical for more than a few hours.

This time he pushed himself way to far, and he knows it. He did an all nighter and all day stake out. Did he catch the criminal he was after? Yes. Does his whole body hurt so bad that he feels like he’s going to collapse at any moment? Also yes.

He walks into his loft and flops on the couch, exhausted. 

“How are you feeling?” Yafya cracks open his eyes, realizing the lighting in the room was VASTLY different. The sky outside his window went from a clear blue, to an orange. The sun must already be setting. He must have been asleep for the better half of the day, it probably was early evening by this point. He tries to sit up, despite that all of his muscles are protesting at his actions. He manages, crossing one leg over the other. His movements were less than smooth, but he hoped you wouldn’t notice. He felt kind of dizzy.

“Fine,”  He looked your direction, ears flicking absentmindedly, trying to catch any small noises. He may be safe in his building, but his instincts all but demanded that he account for any small noise that he heard when he first woke up.

“Just fine? It look like you’re moving a little stiff,” He snorted, and turned his head away. He could still see you, but he didn’t want to look directly at you. 

“I’m fine,” He puts a hand on one of his knees, and props himself up, before promptly falling back into his seat. He closes his eyes so he doesn’t have to see your smug face.

“I’ll get your ice packs,” He can hear the smugness in your voice. He groans, and lays out on the couch again. At least you’ll take care of him. He wont say it, but when you walk back over, he’s grateful. 

Louis

Louis can, and will, run himself into the ground

He will stay late and do paperwork, forget to eat, forget to drink...well, he’s running on energy drinks, but that’s far from hydrating. 

Louis may never forget dates, or to spend an allotted amount of time with you, but any free time he has is spent working. He has a lot of plans, and knows how to execute them effectively, but he forgets he isn’t a robot. 

You tried to tell him that he was working too much. You tried to tell him to relax or he’d get sick, but he didn’t. 

Your knuckles knocked against the heavy wood door of his work office. It was already past ten, and he hadn’t been home. You tried to call, but to no avail. His voice was cut off by a sneeze, but you took at as a sign to enter his office. He looked up from his computer.

You catch him at his computer, a significant pile of tissues in his garbage, and a few empty boxes in a neat pile. 

“You didn’t come home, I was worried,” Louis sniffed, and glanced down at the time. His eyes got a bit wider, and he slid his chair back and stood.

“I apologize,” He sounded congested, but he tries to distract himself by adjusting his wrinkled tie. He pushes his chair back in and tries to clean his desk off. 

“You’ve worked yourself sick,” You comment, tone scolding. He rolls his eyes.

“Don’t be ridiculous,” You just smirk.

“Try saying that again with the correct pronunciation,” He shoots you a look, but the full force of his stare was cut off by a loud sneeze that shook his body. 

“Tissue?” You grab the box off his desk and offered it to his. He sniffed again and took it, conceding. 

“Let’s go home,” He tried to sound firm. It just sounded tired. You just laughed at your poor spouse, and clicked the elevator button.

“I’ll make you tea when we get there”

[couldyouspeakmyname]

How would Yafya react to cat s/o purring when he caresses them??? 👀

YES! This is so CUTE!

-Maeve

Yafya had been resting on the couch. He was slouching and flipping through mindless television when you came over. He put his arm silently over the back of the couch. It’s his silent invite for you to come sit and snuggle with him (he can’t just ask you because that’s silly)

You come over and he hands over the remote. It doesn’t matter what you two watch, as long as you’re together. His brain is off anyway. It’d been a long day.

He wraps his arm around your shoulders, pulling you in. He begins to idly scratch your head and ears.

When you start purring? He stops for just a second, but just a second. He gets this soft look on his face, and goes back to petting you. 

He tries to pull you closer, hoping that he could hear the purring a little better.

He really like your purring? It makes him feel warm and fuzzy inside, though he doesn’t know how to express it. Instead? He just becomes a bit more attentive, just so you’d purr more. 

Soon cuddle sessions are more frequent. What can he say? He just really like the purring. 

[couldyouspeakmyname]

May I request short headcannons of Yafya seeing his snow leopard s/o's tail wag for the first time? Search up a snow leopard's tail wagging and it's the most adorable thing.

This is super cute and I love it

-Maeve

✧ ✧ ✧  ✧

Yafya isn’t paying attention at first, but when he notices? He has a hard time containing himself

Yafya just watches you, amused and completely distracted from whatever he happened to have been doing at the time

He may try to get his phone out and take a video, or at least a picture

He will 110% try and get you to do it again, but just for him. No one else needs to know how cute you are. 

[couldyouspeakmyname]

May I please request nsfw headcannons of Yafya and a carnivore that leans on the more dominant side when it comes to sex 🏃‍♀️💨

Hell yeah asshole horse (If you wanna drabble feel free to resubmit)

Tried to make it gender neutral, since the gender wasn’t specified 

-Maeve

Yafya goes out of his way to challenge his S/O out of the bedroom. it helps build the tension for him (angry sex is one of his favorites)

If Yafya isn’t bleeding at least a little when things are over, he’s going to be disappointed. You have claws for a reason, and he gets so turned on when you use them

Yafya is a brat, even as a bottom. He’s going to egg you on, if you’re not going all out and rough, he’s not going to be satisfied

Blind him. He wears a blindfold anywhere, but if you’re a carnivore and quiet, he’s easily spooked which excites him

He’s a horse, and he’s strong because of it. Invest in some good BDSM gear. He’ll love it, otherwise he’s yanking the chains out the walls

When you really have him vulnerable, then you can really have your fun. He’s at your mercy, and despite how much the protests, he really does like it. 

Yafya has a crazy high stamina, you need to keep up with him. If you already got him weak at the knees, you owe it to him to satisfy him

Choke him. Don’t question it, just do it

He’s extremely kinky. 

[couldyouspeakmyname]

An idea: in your nsfw alphabet for Yafya, you stated that he would sleep if his partner was a carnivore and would sneak out before his partner wakes up. But imagine if he wakes up and is about to sneak out when he feels an arm wrapped around his chest and can't get up 💀

Poor Yafya. He deserves it.

-Maeve

He's frozen in place

He wants to sneak away, but your arms wrapped around him makes him feel both secure and incredibly annoyed

He lets himself get pulled in, but his mind is going fifty million miles an hour

He doesn't want to wake you up and have a confrontation

He tries to wiggle out, but your just snuggle him tighter

He eventually gives up and just relaxes, falling back asleep

Honestly? Best night of sleep he's gotten in YEARS

[couldyouspeakmyname]

Okokok it took me a minute but I wanna see Yafya and reader with the soulmate prompt 9

I was thinking reader lives in the same neighborhood as Gosha and when Yafya goes to confront him that one time they feel all the hurt Yafya feels and they find each other ahh

maybe Gosha already knows reader or something so he helps them get to know one another

I trust you'll do a great job

Have a wonderful day 💖

YES! My favorite horse!!

Soulmate Prompt (I don't ever stop taking these btw)

Empathy - sharing the same emotions as their soulmate when they are close by

You pull your car up to the parking lot, putting it in the new space reserved for you. Apartment fourteen. You were both excited and..a bit afraid. Moving to a new area was always hard, especially since the area was mostly retirees and older folk. It wasn’t bad and it would probably be quiet. It was most importantly, affordable. You turned off your car, and tried to mentally prepare for the massive undertaking of unpacking and moving in. 

Out of the corner of your eye you see an old persian cat. They were sporting a snaggled tooth half grin, and had two different colored eyes looking two different directions. They approach your car with a walk that looked rather uncomfortable to do, but somehow they managed without seeming to mind. You weren’t that alarmed until they blinked their eyes, each of their eyes blinking independently, you freeze up a little. Okay, maybe this wasn’t such an easy going community. The each out at tap your window. You open your door instead of turning your car back on just to roll the window down. 

“Hello? Can I help you?” They do that uncomfortable blink again. Their hald smile turns into a full grin, and the shoulder of their patchwork cardigan slips off their shoulder. 

“Welcome home. He’ll be happy to meet you,” Why did that sound so ominous? They don’t say anything more and began wandering off behind your car. The did so by walking backwards. They stop briefly stop to look at a rather large lizard coming their direction.  For a moment they stop their weird backwards walk, and trot forward with purpose. The lizard seems to recognize them, and gives them a wave as a sort of greeting. The cat reaches a paw out and puts their paw on his shoulder and make an obvious pointing motion your direction. Your stomach sinks.

What is that weird cat doing? 

You turn your head away and begin to grab boxes. You just told yourself you’d be fine, as long as you kept pretending that you didn’t know that the weird cat was now going around the corner, once again, backwards. The other animal they had been speaking to just waved and laughed. He didn’t seem to mind them. It made the new animal more suspicious. What kind of animal so was casual about a cat walking backwards in a sweater that could have only been made by a lawn mower? Even as you took box by box, and the bags, out of the car, you somehow you knew they were still watching you.  

"Welcome to the area!" His voice carries across the parking lot as you struggle with a particularly heavy box. Your car was still pretty packed, but all your friends had bailed on you last minute. While a few of them seemed to have legit excuses, but a ‘snail is going across the driveway and I don’t want to hit him’ was a lesser excuse. You turn the direction of the voice, half expecting for the weird cat to somehow teleported back. Luckily, they weren’t. Instead, the rather large lizard from across the way was making his way over. A bit befuddled, you can only listen as he begins talking to you. 

"Need some help? Momo said to check on you," He comes closer, and you take in his features. He's a komodo dragon, which surprises you. Weren’t reptiles pretty reclusive? The only thing that seemed to relax you seeing that he was nowhere CLOSE to being as zanny as the cat your first met. His scales catch the light, reflecting on the dauntingly large number of boxes. Yeah, yeah you could use his help. His kindness was unusual, but you doubted you’d be done before sundown without his help. Besides, he seemed to honest eyes. 

"Yeah, but you don't have to if you're bus-," He was already grabbing a number of boxes, lifting them like they were nothing. You were a bit surprised. Youd idn’t expect someone sporting a pressed dress shirt and a sweater would be able to lift so many boxes without effort. It was really impressive. You were a little in awe.

"It's no problem! I love helping my neighbors. My name’s Gosha! Now, where am I taking these boxes to?” You snap out of your daze. 

“oh! Overe here! My name is y/n, by the way,” You lead him up your stairs, unlocking your new door. It was pristine from the cleaning crew. White walls, white floors...Emptiness. You wished someone else could set up your stuff and make this seem more like home. 

“Step one! Bring all the boxes,” Gosha seemed to know what you were thinking, and was determined to make you feel better. You weren’t expecting to meet someone so kind right off the bat. 

“Yeah, Yeah you’re right!” You didn’t sound convincing, but you got a little more brave. You could do this. You and..Gosha? Yeah, Gosha. You could do it with his help. 

“I owe you dinner though,” He nodded and laughed.

“Sounds good, but it has to be take out with my own set of utensils,” He looks around and slides the boxes down and to the ground. After he sets things down, he pulls out a cloth and some sort of spray, and sprays and wipes your boxes down. You look at him a bit perplexed. He must have known what you were thinking, because he ends up going into an rather unusual explanation. 

“I’m a poisonous animal. I like helping out, but not at the risk of you getting sick. Better safe than sorry!” His smile was genuine. You couldn’t help but smile back.

“Thanks! And...thank you for helping. All of my friends were so busy,” You set your box down and head for the door again.

“I can understand that. A lot of my friends have been rather busy. Sometimes responsibilities have to go ahead of..other things?” There was a look in his eye, but it didn’t last long. 

“Yeah.

After he helps you out, you end up spending a good chunk of your time with Gosha. You're new to the area, and with as laid back as he is, he introduces you to a number of kind animals. They were older, but that didn't bother you much. A few of them even took to watching out for you and would always waved when you walked past. You weren’t sure how, but within the course of maybe, three weeks? You now had five sets of grandparents. One of the cute older otters from down the street met you at the market on a regular basis, and she quickly took it upon herself to show you how to pick good melons and nuts. A pelican from a few blocks down would often give you weather predictions so you’d never be caught unaware. You even saw that weird cat later on. They lived across the street, and while weird, were nice. It must have been a cat thing, but they always seemed to know what was going to happen before it did. 

“Bus is late” 

The bus wasn’t running until the next morning, and would in fact, be late.

“Raining tonight”

It was sunny, but it would in fact rain out of the blue that evening. 

You assumed the ‘he’ they had spoken about before was your new friend Gosha. Which was why, even with all of the wonderful animals you’d met, one of your favorite perks was hanging out with Gosha. The lizard had quickly become a good friend of yours. You guys quickly fell into a routine, and had dedicated your Sunday evenings to having tea with Gosha, and watching the occasional bad movie. You learned a bit about him, and his wife and daughter, which was tragic. Even still, he was so positive. You were a smidge envious of his positivity. You wished you were able to always stay so happy. You’d even begun to work on trying to see the positivity of your own life. Granted, it didn’t work all the time, but it was all about the baby steps. 

It was one of these Sundays that you were making your way to Gosha’s. He had promised a classic movie from when he was a kid, free food, and plus he was good company. You briskly walked around the corner, eagerly making you way, having to stop to wave at a few people who yelled form a balcony. 

You saw Momo as your walked.

“Hey Mo-”

“You’ll meet him today,” You looked at them, and Momo just grinned, and began going backwards the opposite direction. Weird, but not abnormal for Momo. 

That’s when it hit you. The overwhelming wave of sadness and anger, borderline rage. Something inside of you twisted, and you felt a pull you’d never felt before. You you began running. You’d forgotten briefly about Gosha, and were hyper focused on the feeling. Your heart began hammering in your chest. You weren’t sure why, but something was pulling you forward. The feeling was puling you the directions of Gosha’s condo, and the thought of the lizard seemed to make the intense feelings feel that much worse. You began to worry. Your shoes hit the first step, but the rest was a blur until you got to Gosha’s door. You hit your fist hard against the wood, making a ruckus with several loud bangs. It was a day and night difference compared to your usual polite taps. You heard crashing and something breaking, and tried the handle of the door instead of waiting. 

It was unlocked and the scene before you was absolute chaos.

Gosha was poised and ready to defend himself, and he was sporting an impressive black eye. The attacker was a large black horse you’d never seen before. All of your senses were screaming. The logical part of you wanted to guard Gosha, but your instincts wouldn’t allow you to move.

You met his eyes, and it felt like everything finally made sense. 

Your soulmate. 

His nostrils flared, but he couldn’t seem to make himself move either. You were at a standstill.

Until Gosha sprayed the horses fist with his disinfectant. You hadn’t even noticed that Gosha moved.

“Time out,” His voice also was the first to be heard, and it was as calm as ever. Even with such an ugly injury to the face, he was busying himself taking care of the animal who attacked him. 

“Do...Do you know one another?” You had feelings of confusion, but it was overridden by the feelings of pain and regret...confusion. 

“Oh! Y/N, this is Yafya,” Gosha presented him like an old friend, and you’d find out later they were...kind of. “Yafya, this is Y/N! They moved in a few months ago down the block. Were were going to watch a movie but,” You finally turned your head. How did they manage to destroy so much furniture? It would be impressive if it wasn’t such a huge mess!

“Nice to meet you,” You perk up, some part of you deeply satisfied now that you knew his name. He didn’t say anything but gave a nod your direction. How cold. 

“We’re not finished,” He gave Gosha a pointed look, and stormed out of the front door, slamming it behind him without a look your direction. That hurt. You wondered if he could feel the disappointment.

“Sorry, he’s an old friend, we didn’t part ways on the most agreeable terms,” He glances at his home, and with a sigh begins picking up his things. You freeze for a moment, then go to help him. You felt miserable, for him, for you, even for Yafya.

“It’s fine, really. I don’t mind,” You give him a smile.

The two of you spend a good chunk of the evening cleaning. Gosha tried to repair a few pieces of his furniture, but the two you you end up throwing a number of shelves away and an unfortunate chair. By the time you were done, it was way past ten. 

“Thank you for the help. Sorry we ended up working all night!”

“Don’t worry! You helped me move, least I can do,” Plus it helped you meet your soulmate, though it was undecided if it was a good or bad thing. You grabbed your bags, and started to head out. You waved goodbye and headed back to your apartment. 

The way seemed long, and you had this anxiety you weren’t sure the cause of. You supposed it was caused because of Yafya, so you took a few deep breath and to try and calm yourself-thereby him. You hoped it worked. You unlocked the door of your apartment, and stopped on an envelope slid under your door. 

Unlabeled, but it did have a fancy wax seal.

We've seen Gosha blushing and now we deserve to see Yafya blushing 😌 (wait does he even blush?)

Blushing headcanons!!

Yafya is a black horse. He doesn't blush, as far as you know

It's hard to see through his black pelt but he totally, TOTALLY does.

He gets angry when he gets embarrassed or flustered and so that's a big reason no one knows he blushes?

Secret tip, check the inside of his ears. They'll change color and you can tell

The hair on the back of his neck stands up a little too when he gets flustered

He also will stammer, or forget what he's saying mid sentence deepening on what you say to him

Again, he tries to turn to anger and storms off

Probably storms off and slides down the wall holding his head and questioning his life choices (he'll get over it)

Is the kind to get VENGANCE

He will get you back if it kills him
