I've been watching Disney's "The Princess and the Frog" and I've been thinking about a request based on the scene where Naveen makes a dinner for Tiana where he intends to confess to her. I wanted a request like that with Floyd x Yuu and unlike the film, Floyd manages to confess. And maybe there's a little dancing too
I would be very happy if you placed my request, I will wait patiently for it :)
I LOVVEE DISNEY MOVIESSS bro my friend has never watched The Princess and the Frog and I lost my mind. How have you NOT watched only one of the most amazing disney movies to exist?! Insane. BUT YES I like this!
Floyd Confessing his feelings to you
Based off of the princess and the frog scene <3
General warnings: Gender neutral reader
TW: None! Just fluff, and awkwardness!
The night was young, the stars were shining bright overhead smiling down at the eager boy. Floyd wasn't all that familiar with customs about love and affection, but he knew the moment his heart fluttered simply seeing you complete tasks seemingly so mundane making him blush sent him into a frenzy. Love and Floyd? The two in the same sentence sounded completely insane!
But when Floyd says he is in love, he truly commits to the bit.
There he was, leading you by the hand much to your surprise and mild amusement.
"Where are you taking me?" You asked the tall male, who flashed you a charming toothy grin and a giddy chuckle.
"It's a surprise, shrimpy. To celebrate somethingggg.."
You eyed him curiously as you entered the Octavinelle lounge, seeing it so deserted besides strung up lights and plates of food neatly upon the table caused you to gasp in shock, almost tearing up at the sight and near notion that somebody would take their time to prepare such a grandiose display for you.
"It's for you! Do ya like it?" Floyd almost sang, pulling out a rose, "I heard this is the best way to romance someone. Is it working?" You almost burst out laughing, but you just knew he couldn't help but be honest about his intentions, one of the many things that you loved about this merman.
"Nobody has ever done anything like this for me," You replied with affection, gracefully grabbing hold of the rose from his hand and taking a quick smell and observing it. When you looked back up from the flower, you noticed Floyd suddenly had a...rather large bowtie on that you knew for certain was not there before. It almost looked silly, the way it was bigger than his neck and flared out in such a...flamboyant way. You pursed your lips in an attempt to hold back the laughter that threatened to reveal itself, biting your bottom lip and nodding in 'approval'. Floyd noticed this and with a blush upon his embarrassed cheeks, he was quick to remove and throw aside the article of clothing.
"you're right, I knew it was too much," Floyd grumbled, eying a corner of the lounge where the strung up lights did not touch.
"I thought it was a nice touch..." You heard a hushed and disappointed voice from somewhere unknown to you, your eyes searching the room before Floyd grabbed you by the shoulders to avert your attention to the table neatly put together.
"Pretend you didn't see that. Or hear that." Seeing the normally suave and outgoing male so shy and flustered, you couldn't stop the smile on your lips widening at such a rare sight.
"Floyd- the seat- the seat!" Another voice that wasn't so discreet called out, Floyd gasping and running to your side before you had the chance to sit down.
"Let me- uh- here. I mean- have a seat," He pulled the seat out and invited you forward, pushing it in, "I saw this in a movie-"
"don't admit that!" ...said the voice from nowhere to be seen. You pressed your lips together tighter, trying not to howl in laughter. This was all just too cute...you've never seen such a side to him, and his grand gestures of gentlemanly was so out of place for his personality you couldn't help but bite back your giggles of amusement.
"Shut up Azul!" Floyd whisper-yelled back to a dark corner of the lounge. Noticing your skeptical gaze, Floyd ran over to one of the tables to grab a silver platter, bringing it to you and opening the lid with excitement in his eyes in hopes to distract you from the bickering.
"Oh? what's this?" You cooed, tilting your head as he brought over the large platter.
"Ta-Daaaa~" He sang, removing the lid. Upon seeing the dish he had prepared, you gasped and clapped in excitement.
"You made it all by yourself!" You cried out, noticing the plate of pretty (surprisingly) well-prepared food that you recall teaching him how to make some time the months prior. Floyd puffed out his chest in pride and nodded firmly.
"Yeahh! I did a good job, riighht?"
The "empty" corner coughed an obvious "pushy" cough that was seemingly a cue for the hopeless romantic to begin his actual speech and cut the small talk.
"Y/n!- ah-" He interrupted himself, "Sorry that was kinda loud...uhh..." You could see him begin to sweat bullets, his eyes wavering as he looked in panic anywhere but you, shaky hands pressing against the table.
"I'm just gonna say it. Among all the people i've dated-" You raised an eyebrow and nodded awkwardly, folding your hands and waiting to see where he was going with this. Floyds jaw slacked open for a moment of realization.
"wait- no. Jade said I can't bring up dating anyone else. Even those were just play dates when we were kids. And they were all boring" Floyd pausing mid-statement and attempting to bring the conversation back to the point.
"B-but you're not boring! You're amazing! like- uh-"
"Play it cool!" The mysterious voice threw out a word of advice.
"Like one of the guys-"
"Not one of the guys, you idiot!" Azul (it was fairly obvious who the voice belonged to) chastised him.
"Ehh?? Than what do I say?!"
"How you feel, brother." Jade followed.
Floyd must have been focused too much on driving the conversation how he had wanted it to, leaning all of his weight onto one side of the table causing it to tip over, the silver platter and the tall male both falling to the ground with a loud "bang!". You could hear slaps from the corner of the lounge, presumably one or two other people slapping their foreheads in astonished embarrassment for their friend and brothers hopeless attempts.
"uughhh.." Floyd whined like his usual self, "This isn't going how I wanted it to." when you finally couldn't hold it back any longer, you burst out laughing with hands holding your stomach. Floyd sat up in annoyance and looked at you with sadness glinting within his multi-colored eyes, his lips forming a pout.
"I get it, itsa disaster..." You shook your head at his woeful comment, wiping a tear from laughing.
"No," you gently replied, "it's cute." You wiped off a piece of food that stuck to the top of Floyd's head, bending down to his level and kissing his cheek.
"Floyd, I don't need all of this fancy stuff. Just tell me how you feel your way, because I like you for you, and wouldn't want a confession any other way." He sat in silence, blinking once, blinking twice, before also bursting out in laughter. Floyd pulled you down into his arms and hugged you tightly, before spilling out his heart bluntly and honestly as he should have from the beginning.
"I see our work here is done," Jade said to Azul, taking his shoulder and leading them out of the lounge, "They have it under control now, so it seems." Azul scoffed and adjusted his glasses, eying his messy lounge.
"After they are done being lovey and dovey, I will be charging them a cleaning fee...look at that mess...it'll take special services to get that sauce out of the flooring!"
"For now, let's just be happy Floyd will stop bugging us about his crush."
"...I suppose your right, that in itself is payment enough."
So they left you two giggling and now throwing food at each other, in the fun way that is unique to your love.
<3

Another floyd headcannon for the soul:
I like to think that as much as he likes his brother, Floyd sometimes gets really insecure of people thinking Jade’s “the better twin” because hes less outwardly brash and scary.
He doesn’t tell anyone though, not even Jade, but he can tell when his mood goes from his usual lost motivation to genuinely upset and writing it off as him “not being in the mood.”
Maybe back in the coral sea a lot of merfolk would prefer to hangout with Jade because of how unpredictable Floyd was (if the Leech twins werent avoided at all) and a lot of merfolk and even maybe students at Night Raven would often confess to Jade, with or without Floyd present or witnessing it somewhere in the background.
And just to add in a sprinkle of Sad and (sorta?) tie in my previous Floyd hc into this: maybe Floyd would garner a crush on someone in the coral sea during their school days, and everytime it would happen, that (mer?) person would almost always have a crush on Jade, and Floyd had always witnessed his love confessing to his identical brother.
He’s probably learned to give up before he tries, so the minute he sees his crush even glance over to Jade with The Look in their eyes, his faces falls but not in the scary, intimidating Floyd way, but in a way that makes even someone terrified of Floyd feel even just a little bad for him.
Jade is fully aware of all of this though, and he always rejects every single one of Floyd’s crushes. Not only because he cares about his brother, but mainly also because he wasn’t interested in them in the first place (LMFAOOO). It’s a unspoken thing that when these things would happen and Floyd would swim/storm off to be alone and upset, Jade would follow shortly after, usually with a peace offering of cake, snacks, or drink from a vending machine, and leave him to be alone.
And Floyd would, almost always, be fine the next time you see him. At least on the outside.
—————
I might elaborate more on this idea but this already looks like a whole essay 😭

Pretend - Alex G
floyd x ftm!reader
cw: angst with slight comfort, s/h, $u1c1d@l thoughts, gender dysphoria
summary: One day you'll have to get over this loneliness, but maybe that loneliness can wait another day.
(741 words)
Gonna crack a rib when I get home
It was hard enough to deal with this loneliness. Nothing seems to make it better, sure you had lots of friends but you still felt lonely. You had to pretend that you're someone who you're not, it hurts that they prefer this image of you that you've painted for others instead of the real you. Nobody seems to understand you, you're a nobody. But there was someone that seemed to slip into the cracks of your façade, and maybe even your heart. And that person was Floyd Leech. Just by being near him, you could feel your mask slipping off. But you can't let others know how much of a useless person you are, right? No matter how he pushes you to stop, you're still going to keep continuing.
I'm gonna bury you in my favourite hole
Of course you loved Floyd, he's your best friend. Always clinging around you, but just the thought of him seeing the real you made you feel disgusted. Sadly you are not what others ideally think of you as, you're no saviour, no good friend, no model student, no man. You wish you were all the things people expect from you, but in reality, you're just an emotionally frail girl. But that's not really you is it? You're a boy. You were supposed to be born a boy, why are you a woman? You hated when that time of the month comes, it reminds you of how you're constantly seen as only your gender, and not your achievements.
I made a bloody mess in the kitchen sink
Grimm was asleep, you were now alone with your thoughts. Your arms stung whenever it made contact with water, the trashcan was always full with bloody tissues, and if you dig deeper enough, you'll find the cause. It hurts, you're always hissing in pain whenever someone slightly puts pressure on your arms. Sometimes you don't have time to even take care of yourself, which results in your grades dropping. This isn't your first academic failure, but it sure did hurt. You were always a disappointment weren't you? You should just end everything here. Nothing ends up as planned. Nobody will notice if you're gone or anything. Your face in the mirror looked horrible, and everyone noticed. Nobody seemed to point it out for you or anything, nobody but him.
I tried to fix myself but I didn't think
"Hey shrimpy~ Why the long face~?", your eyes soften at him. "Life's been rough.", "Awh, don't be like that~ You know you can just tell me what's going on~", those were the words you needed to hear, that was the trigger to your water works. Floyd panicked a bit, he thought he accidentally did something bad, his first instinct is to hug you, and awkwardly pat your back. A soft and mumbled "Sorry shrimpy.", escaped his lips. You manage to stop them, and assure Floyd that it wasn't his fault. "No, you didn't do anything Floyd. It's my fault.", "What did you do, shrimpy?", Floyd's face looked like he was genuinely paying attention to you. It was the one time in your life where you felt a genuine connection with someone.
They said "We just want to talk with you"
Floyd Leech. The man who successfully broke your façade, the man who made you feel loved, the person who answered your prayers. "Ooh, so that's why you were so sad.", Floyd smiled at you before lifting you up, taking you by surprise. He spun you around before hugging you tightly, "Handsome, handsome boy! Can't you see, shrimpy? Everyone loves you~!", a laugh escaped him. You were now left all flustered, but you didn't bother to fight back. You were now walking back to the cafeteria with Floyd, who was praising you, reassuring you that no matter what form you take, you'll still stay the same shrimpy he knows and loves.
"We just want to walk you through"
You arrived at the cafeteria to be met with all of your friends waiting for you at the usual table, "Oh, there's MC! Hey, over here!". You looked over at Floyd and he only replied with a warm smile, "Myaah! It's the scary twin!", screamed Grimm before the others shoved some food into his mouth. "Come sit with us, Floyd.", "Awh, alright shrimpy~". One day you will have to face this loneliness again, and overcome it. Right now, it's just you, and him.
A/N: I made this as like a mini vent, you can read it if you want to. Can even interpret it as platonic or romantic, I'm just in the mood for Floyd rn.
