hold on hold on i just came to the realization that fish do not sneeze.
imagine how BAMBOOZLED the octatrio would be when they hear you sneeze for the first time??? like human what was that. did you just eject a lung? are you okay??
azul would be immediately concerned, giving you the weirdest look. he hesitantly asks if you're okay, because you seem fine, but you just made the strangest noise he's ever heard and oh, is this a weird land dweller way of showing your affection? because you were pretty cute when you did that. oh, it's not...? well, now he's embarrassed!
jade is fascinated. don't let him find out about that sneezing power or pepper or ANY of that shit. he WILL use it against you. your sneezes are like little treats to this weirdo. he'll even become inclined to test those things on himself, to see just what sneezing feels like. he's genuinely surprised when it isn't painful? and that the face you make in instinctual? land dwellers are so fascinating.
floyd locks onto you. doesn't matter if he was in a mopey mood or pissing off riddle again, his eyes are wide and his pupils are dilated and he's staring at you. it doesn't matter if your sneeze is loud or quiet, he thinks it's so strange and so cute. hey, little shrimpy! what the hell was that and why did it sound so weird?
LIKE....THESE GUYS HAVE GILLS. THEY HAVEN'T HEARD A SINGLE PERSON SNEEZE UNTIL THEY CAME TO THE SURFACE. bc yk, sneezing requires lungs and nasal passages AND MERPEOPLE DONT HAVE THOSE UNLESS THEY TOOK THAT POTION TO BECOME HUMAN AND IM CRYING.
octatrio finds out what sneezing is real!!
i feel like i need to clarify that i know what sneezing is HELP ME@$@$$@$@?@!#?@!!@!# i just thought it would be a funny post i assure you guys i know people sneeze and that they probably would have been taught about it. this set of headcanons is not supposed to be taken as something that happened in canon, i just wrote it because I thought it would be goofy!!

I finally came up with a request! Would you be able to write "Octatrio (separate) teaching reader how to swim" (inspired by the fact that I can't swim after a whole swim class and my family trying to teach me). I understand that Floyd's character is a little difficult to write, so if you need me to, I can request something different!
I love the Octotrio, they are along with Vil (my beloved) my favourite characters! I hope you enjoy this headcanon, especially since it's my first time writing for twisted
Teaching you how to swim
Characters: Azul, Jade and Floyd Established relationships, Reader is gender neutral
Azul Ashengrotto
Tumblr media
When he learned that you couldn’t swim he was shocked to be honest.
He had just informed you that his mother would love for you and him to visit her and her husband in the Coral Sea so they could finally meet you. He left out the fact that his mom called you ‘the person that has our Azul wrapped around their finger’ you did not need to know the power you have over him.
Now don’t get me wrong, Azul is fully aware that not every land dweller is able to swim, but he just assumed that you would be able to.
Azul, being Azul, quickly tried to overplay his shock with a proposal (sadly not a marriage one).
He would teach you how to swim, if you swore to never bring up any of the baby pictures of him his mother was bound to show you once you were visiting her. Especially to the twins
This incentive made you giggle, he may have gotten slightly better with accepting his past self, but he still had a few hiccups about it. But of course you agreed, after all you wanted to meet the woman who raised your boyfriend! (and also wanted to see his baby pictured since they were bound to be adorable)
Now before he teaches you how to swim, he is learning things himself, obviously learning how to swim is very different if you grew up in the sea as an Octo-mer or are a normal human.
Azul wants to be sure he can be the best teacher possible for you so he throws himself into research, which of course makes him a big target for teasing from the twins.
When it comes to actually teaching you how to swim, no matter how nervous you are he will be 100 times more nervous.
Much to your disappointment he refuses to be in his octopus form while he teaches you how to swim.
But despite that he is an amazing teacher, making sure you are safe and that you understand everything.
If he has to touch you to correct your form, he will ask politely if he can do so, all while blushing furiously and dying from embarrassment on the inside.
With him as a teacher you get the hang of swimming rather fast and don’t need that many lessons, once you are able to swim fully on your own he will praise you for being such a good student.
Jade Leech
Tumblr media
Unlike Azul he wasn’t shocked that you couldn’t swim, it was a small surprise sure, but nothing that would throw him off.
You told him you couldn’t swim when he told you about his plans to take you on a date in the ocean to look at Marine fungi (I googled they actually exist cause I was unsure lol) and then to go to the restaurant Azul’s mom owned.
Jade was quiet for a second after you told him, just looking at you which was rather unnerving to say the least.
He stared at you like that for a moment before giving you a close eyed smile “Well, we can’t have that can’t we my love?” he had his hand on his chin as he said that, still smiling.
You were just confused, what did he mean by that and why was he smiling like that? Despite dating him for a while his close eyed smile still was unnerving sometimes.
“I will just have to teach you how to swim. I would not want to go see the Marine fungi alone or with anyone else, so this is the only option, don't you agree?”
You just nodded, still somewhat confused. And that is how you found yourself in a pool alone with Jade a few days later. Did you want to know how he managed to get the pool to be empty for just the two of you? No.
He is in his human form, but he would change into his eel form if you wanted him too, but you may or may not have to beg for it.
Jade is not as good a teacher as Azul but still solid. He did not do research on how to teach humans how to swim, he just somehow knows how to.
 Also unlike Azul he isn’t embarrassed if he has to touch you to correct your form or to help you, on the contrary he will make you embarrassed.
He has his typical smile on his face as he holds you, and whispers in your ear, nothing dirty, just whispers about your swimming like what you can do better or what you are doing good, but it is enough to embarrass you and make you flustered.
 It takes a bit longer than with Azul for you to learn how to swim, mostly due to him flustering you nearly any chance he has, but he is still an adequate teacher.
Floyd Leech
Tumblr media
You barely had the time to tell him you can’t swim until it was nearly too late.
He had somehow gotten the idea to take you on  a surprise beach date and as soon as you were at the beach he pulled you along to the water, school uniform still on and everything.
You tried to stop him, but the tall eel was stronger than you so you had to yell out to him that you can’t swim just as your feet were about to touch the water.
Floyd stool still in his tracks, turning around looking confused but then smiling wide. “Whaat? Shrimpy can’t swim? But you are a shrimpy, how can that be?” 
You tried to explain to him that you simply never learned it but he interrupted you.
“Well I can’t have a shrimpy who can’t swim so Floydie is gonna have to teach you!” You gulped at how excited he sounded.
If it were up to him he would have just taught you how to swim right then and there at the beach but you convinced him that it would be better to do it in a pool…once you wore swimming clothes and not the school uniform, he agreed but only if he could squeeze you on the way back from the beach.
Unlike his brother, Floyd will be in his eel form the whole time while he teaches you how to swim, which makes it a bit harder for him to explain things to you since he doesn’t have legs, but he refuses to switch back.
He honestly doesn’t know what he is doing, he is just going with the vibes white teaching you and it somehow works.
Though be prepared that he will splash you with water, especially with his tail saying it is to imitate waves of the sea, but you know he is just being a little shit.
If you thought you wouldn’t get squeezed while trying to learn how to swim, you are severely mistaken, he will wrap his tail and his arms around you, squeezing you against his chest, if it were anyone else you’d probably be scared of going down in the water but you knew you could trust Floyd in that regard.
But he isn’t a complete asshole and will genuinely praise you for the progress you are making, since that means you two are one step closer to swimming in the sea together!
It will probably take the longest to learn how to swim when Floyd is the one teaching you, but it also is the most fun, since he doesn’t take things so seriously and just wants that the both of you amuse yourselves.

How Do You Cheer Up/Apologize To Them After Making Them Upset - Azul Ashengrotto
Tumblr media
"LET ME GO FLOYD!!!" You said as Floyd was squeezing you tightly in a bear hug, preventing you from entering Azul's office. You were in Mostro Lounge, wanting to speak to Azul about yesterday, and before you could knock on the door to his office, Floyd caught you and refused to release you. "Ehhh~ Why? Shrimpy-chan made Azul-chan upset yesterday, so I'm keeping you from making even sadder." Floyd tightened his hold on you, restricting your airflow and making you blue in the face. "That is enough, Floyd." Craning your head, you spotted Jade making his way towards the both of you, and thankfully, Floyd had released you from his death hug, allowing you to breath again. "Floyd, it is clear that the Prefect wants to meet with Azul to express their apologies for whatever had happened, and they can't do that with you hugging them." Floyd just shrugged and said whatever as you thanked Jade for helping you. Floyd and Jade went back to performing their duties as you knocked on the door and heard an "Enter".
You entered into the room and saw Azul sitting at his desk, working on his papers, not bothering to look up from what he was doing. "Azul?" You came closer, but Azul turned his chair around to look away from you, giving you hints he was still upset. Feeling dejected, you thought to leave, but you came to apologize and thats what you were going to do. "I understand you are still upset, but I wanted to apologize about yesterday. I know you dislike photos of yourself and I'm sorry I had taken one when you were in your Octopus form. I know how sensitive you are about your octo form, but I didn't take the photo of you to use it as blackmail or as a way to tease you". Tears started to fall down your cheeks as you continued your apology. "I took the photo because that was the first time your true form. You looked beautiful, and I panicked thinking I was probably never going to see your form again, so I took a photo, so I could keep it with me forever and make sure no one else saw it." Azul still had his back turned to you, but he was listening as his hand that was holding a pen stopped moving. Digging into your pocket, you placed your phone on his desk, that contained the photo. You told Azul he could do whatever he wanted with your phone and even lock it in his safe as long as Azul knew you were being sincere with your apology and not using the photo for wicked intentions. Stepping back, you began to head towards the door, until you heard a voice saying, "D-did you really find me b-beautiful?" You turned back to look at Azul, who had turned his chair back around, with tears staining his face. Smiling, you walked around his desk and approached him, and then slowly, you placed your hands on his cheeks, wiping his tears with your fingers and leaning closer to kiss his forehead. Azul jumped in shock, and his face turned flushed from the sensation of your lips on his forehead, then he saw you move back away and stare into his eyes. "You are beautiful to me Azul, inside and outside. I adore all of you, your smile, your hair, your voice, and especially your octopus form that you detest so much." Azul's mouth was agape like a fish, as he was left speechless by you, but his heart was melting at your sweet words. After about a few minutes of calming down his racing heart, Azul got up from his chair and hugged the daylights out of you, placing his head on your shoulder. "You are the most interesting human I have met, Angelfish. I also owe you an apology for my behavior over a simple photograph. I won't ask you to delete that photo, but I do want you to promise me one thing, and it doesn't involve a contract, I swear." You hugged him back, "Sure, anything?" Azul lifted his head from your shoulder and stared into your eyes with a loving expression. "Stay by my side … please." It took you a minute to process what Azul had said, but then after a few minutes, your hand had made its way to his cheek. "I will always be by your side, Azul." Azul flashed a smile and leaned closer, as his lips finally made contact with yours. Snickering sounds could be heard as the two eel twins had managed to open the door a crack, spying on your sweet moment with Azul.

Tumblr media
“Oh, you have got to be fucking kidding me.” You shake your head, barking out laughter. Floyd gleefully laughs along with you, skipping forward and jabbing a heavy hand against your back. The action made you stumble to the floor, which only served to further intensify your anger towards the octopus and his little hench-eels. "Another one of your stupid contracts?!" 
Azul smiles coolly, clasping his hands atop his table loaded with shimmering magical contracts and various ink pots — all meticulously arranged in an orderly layout, of course. He snapped his fingers and Jade strode over, swiftly handing his 'boss' a singular sheet of paper.
"Why, of course!" Azul's eyes crinkled in mirth as he turned the paper to face you. A leather-clad finger pressed against the sheet, pointing to the title. "How could I not pass up an opportunity like this?"
"EMPLOYMENT CONTRACT" was written in bold cursive lettering, the bleeding dark black ink making it pop out and almost seem as if it was mocking you in your predicament. Your jaw dropped, a look of surprise flashing across your face before a scowl quickly replaced it. "Me?! How desperate are you for new employees?"
“Oh, such an insult to my pride as an entrepreneur! I would never employ anyone I deem…" Azul scrutinizes you with calculating eyes, tucking one arm over his chest as the other fixes his glasses. He rises from his chair and circles around you, his polished shoes clicking against the marble tiles of his office. "…unfit.”
"Yeah~ You're the perfect shrimpy for the job!" Floyd pulled you from your position on the floor, shoving a uniform in your arms. You take a gander at the clothes. It might’ve been the trick of the eye or the light inside the lounge, but the silk almost seemed to have a mystical glow and shimmer. Your eyes dart up to the trio, hesitation crawling up the very depths of your heart.
All three men exchanged sardonic smiles with sly glints in their eyes. It's unusual for a stranger to pique their curiosity, but you possessed something most of their victims don't: you were such an odd little human.
"Welcome to the staff, prefect." Jade smiles curtly. "I do hope you don't disappoint."
It's official, you hate fish.
Working in Monstro Lounge for the past few weeks was nothing but underwater hell. Truly, you had to give both Jade and Floyd credit for having the patience—or rather, tolerance—to deal with all these self-important customers. If you had to make another 'double blend venti coffee frappuccino with whipped cream, additional ice, honey blend, and caramel drizzle' order for that one Pomefiore regular, you think you might have just lost your mind.
As if the annoying customers weren't already enough, Azul was always requesting for further favors. Really, there were occasions when you felt more like his personal secretary. If it was actually stated in the tiny fine print of the contract, you wouldn't be a surprise.
You've been left victim to all his schemes and whims. Though you could say with confidence that you were able to handle every single demand thrown your way, it's not like you really had a choice in the first place. You had boundaries and this one request of his might just finally push you over the edge.
"I need you to act as my date for an event."
"…y-you want me to what?" You sputtered, features contorting into a grimace. Azul stared at you indifferently, casually looking over his pile of paperwork. So struck by anguish, you failed to see how his hands trembled or how a pink hue spread across his face. 
"A-Ah, you see, I'm under a time constraint and seeing as you're the only one available, you may accompany me." Azul replied, adjusting the lapels of his jacket. "T-There's no one else to run to, so I'll have to settle for you."
'I'll have to settle for you.' The way he said it so nonchalantly and bluntly made you gnash your teeth together. How could he just push you aside like that? Like you were just some insignificant bystander in his life.
"Using me again, huh?" You laughed bitterly, tears pricking at the corner of your eyes. Stupid. You were so stupid for developing feelings for this octopus. Azul blinked at you owlishly, watching as a lone tear ran down your cheek. "Pardon…?"
"Nevermind that. Screw this, I'm leaving!" You pulled your suit jacket off, discarding it onto the floor as you cut across the tables, moving towards the exit. Azul scurried after you, protests shooting out of his mouth.
"You-! We have a contract you can't just do as you wish!" He bellows, unadulterated anger coiling around him in a ruthless grip. The octopus seized you by the arm, yanking you around to face him. Scoffing, you attempt to shove him away, but he grabs you by your elbows. "Great Sevens—Damn me! Why are you so stubborn, prefect?!"
"Why can't you just let go?! What is with you and dragging me into contracts?!" You shriek, lifting your knees to kick at his shins.
"​It's because I like you!" Azul bellows, grasping onto your shoulders, his chest heaving. Clamping your mouth shut, you fell silent. The octopus's eyes widened with saturated horror as he scurried away from you, disregarding the sickening vertigo in his head in his haste.
"Sevens—I'm so careless." Azul groans, dragging a hand down his face before pounding his fist against a table. He tugs at his hair, doubling over as a wave of nausea hits him.
"W-What?" you ask, tone wavering. You moisten your lips as you meet the merman’s eyes. "Azul, what?"
He peers at you through his parted fingers, shakily standing straight once more.
"…You already hate me as it is, so it’s not like i have nothing to lose here." He breathlessly blunders out, eyes glossy with tears from being overcome with embarrassment. "I like you. I-I've liked you ever since the very day I met you."
Fear gripped him right down to his soul as his heart was left torn open; Bare for you to see. He comes to a halt, feet anchored to the floor, as you ponder the gravity of his confession.
Is this how sailors reacted to the song of a siren? You knew all too well that the minute you accepted, Azul would lure you into the depths of his heart, where you would never again be able to emerge. Would you sacrifice the world above to drown for your infatuation yet be rewarded with love from a charming octopus below?
"Azul…" You whisper, deft fingers creeping up his hot cheeks. He shudders at your touch, turning putty under your frigid, piercing gaze. Azul's mouth parts open, but words fail him.
"I'll be your date. Though you really don't need a contract for that." Leaning forward, you pressed a scorching kiss against his lips and the deal was set.

octavinelle #1 - cheek kisses
azul.
the first time you do it, it’s all he can do not to dissolve into a puddle of ink and heat and steam; though he makes a gallant show of trying to write it off, clearing his throat, taking a too-deep breath even as he fights the color he knows is rising in his cheeks. “ah — and… pray tell, what was that for?” he asks, pushing up on the bridge of his glasses, looking anywhere but at you though he knows you’re smiling, knows that if he were to turn, he’d be caught like a fish on a hook, by the steely, nearly wicked, look in your eyes as you cocked your head at him and smiled some more. “hm… you’re a smart guy,” you say, leaning back onto the lounge chair with a pleased sort sigh, “why don’t you figure it out?” and then, you make to stand up, but azul is nothing if not quick — and in an instant, he’s pulling you back down, a pout on his lips — childish and incongruous as he stares down at you. he huffs, almost petulant, and it’s it’s this more than anything that makes you laugh, makes your own cheeks tint with color. “don’t laugh at me…” he says, his voice lower now, pulling you close, and then close, “and don’t tease me either… it’ll make me sad…” you shiver at the texture of his voice, the lilt and dip of his words as his glasses flash in the dim light of the mostro lounge. “i’m not teasing — i’m just —” but your breath hitches at the way azul narrows his eyes, at the weight of his fingers, still wrapped around your wrist. “then…” his lips curl into a knowing smirk and you know you’ve lost, “are you going to finish what you started? or… shall i do that for you, hm?”
jade.
the first time you do it, he blinks and turns towards you, his expression implacable and you wonder if you’ve just royally fucked yourself over. it isn’t until he smiles, a sweet, soft, gentle little thing that something inside you bursts and you realize, a moment later, that oh — those things are called hearts. “ahh… now this is a dilemma…” he sighs, propping one arm on top of another as he taps his cheek thoughtfully, looking down at you as you lick your lips, feeling suddenly painfully self-conscious. “w-what do you mean?” you ask, but jade only hums, casting his eyes up towards the ceiling of the empty classroom, “we’re still working on this panorama for our beloved mountain lovers club and —” he slates a glance at the clock on the wall, “it’s due this evening but…” his eyes flicker back towards you and you feel pinned to the spot by the way they flash, his one golden eye gleaming with something that others might mistake for malice but you know quite well is just a deep-seated interest, an insatiable curiosity. and right now, the entire weight and full intensity is directed at you — like a focused beam of sun as he hones in your lips with a widening grin. “h-how is that a dilemma? we have plenty of time to finish —” “ahh… but you see, you’ve gone and done something that makes me want to spend the rest of our time here doing things that won’t be conducive at all to the finishing of this panorama… so…” he cocks his head as he takes a step forward, easily caging you back against a row of empty desks, “what do you propose we do about that…?”
floyd.
the first time you do it, he merely turns with a lopsided grin and leans in to press his lips to your cheek as well, drawing out a squeak as your cheeks promptly go pink. he pulls back with a satisfied smile as you cover your mouth with both your hands, staring up at him but he only shrugs, “whaaaat? isn’t it good manners to a return a favor? or… something like that?” he lets his head fall to one side, watching you with those too-bright eyes of his, and you know that that’s not what he means but you swallow passed the lump in your throat and try to sound steady as you ask, “so, does that mean you’d give anyone a kiss if they kissed you first?” and at this, floyd lets out a sound that’s caught halfway between a sigh and a moan; it sends a cascade of shivers down your spine as he quirks a single eyebrow at you, his smirk going wider and wider and even wider still. “mm… i dunno… i never thought about it like that but…” he leans in, crowding into your space and it’s all you can do to hold yourself still, to let himself press in closer and closer, till there’s barely a breath’s distance between your lips and his. “i do know that if you kissed me again… i wouldn’t mind kissin’ you back — and maybe more than once. what’dya say, hm? wanna try it out?”

Dear secret admirer
In which your secret admirer prepares you gifts- and a letter.
A.A x reader
J.V x reader
----
' I love you.
You have taken my heart and I can't seem to take it back. My soul desires your happiness, but will burn out if I find that you don't love me the same. For this reason, I will cowardly find myself behind the ink, praying that you too return my shameless love.
-love, your own secret admirer'
Azul sighs, putting down the pen you gifted him and rereading the letter over and over again.
'This is stupid.' Leaning back in his chair, running his hair through his hair while gazing at the gift he carefully hand prepared for you.
Azul was content before you. He was alright.
But he wouldn't say he was happier. Love hit him harder than a punch to the balls. He resisted the urge to hug you, the urge to tell you, "I would never hurt you." Everytime you lookes on guard when he was around. He wished to have night ling conversations with you at sunrise, kissing your lips softly, lovely, telling you, "I love you. I love you. I love you." Over and over again.
Azul looks over to his present for you.
It was in a black box, with an elegant purple ribbon on the front, storing a beautiful pearl necklace he handmade with the help of his eel friends.
'I hope they like it.' Azul smiles, closing his eyes in relaxation.
"Azul~! Is the present ready for delivery~?" A energetic Floyd Leech barges into Azul's office, happily startling his thoughts.
"Ahem, O-of course" Azul said fixing his glasses.
"Make sure no one sees you." Azul reminds the eel.
"Of course~~"
---
'You're beautiful.
You're so pretty. I could stare at you and not be tired of it. When I'm stressed, or i can't seem to fall asleep, I think about how much you would hate it if I overworked myself, making a part of me want to work even more, just so you could worry about me. It's so nice. You're so nice. I want to be able to hear your voice every day. Make me your number 1.
-sincerely, your secret admirer.'
Jamil Viper was a busy man. Having to take care of Kalim is not an easy task.
But love finds a way into even the busiest of hearts.
He hated feeling warm everytime you walked by, or when your hand just barely brushes against his. He wanted to spend every momment he could with you, but Kalim was a chain. And you were one of the many things he couldn't have.
Right?
Was he overthinking this?
He thought that you could never love him. Until last week, when he overheard Deuce, ace and grim teasing you about your crush on Jamil.
When Jamil was sure no one was near or in Ramshackle, he slowly placed a small basket in front of the door, with an envelope addressed to Y/n L/n.
The basket contained some of your favorite snacks, bracelets he made for you, and a store bought cake from his hometown that he knew you would like.
Placing the basket down on your porch, he quickly pulls up his hoodie as he walks away, his cheeks warming up on the thought that you would find the basket.

𝑯𝒖𝒈𝒔 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒍𝒂𝒔𝒕 𝒇𝒐𝒓𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒓 Pt.3
Tumblr media
-Octavinelle Dorm-
Tumblr media
Azul could only blush as you carefully caressed his face, staring into his eyes. His own hands shakily rested on your waist, his long fingers messing with the fabric of your clothes.
"I love you so much" You mumbled, making the male's face light up like a light bulb.
He averted his eyes for a brief moment, trying to compose himself before he answered you back. He opened and closed his mouth a few times like a fish out of water.
With a final clear of his throat, Azul answered back with a shaky voice. "I....I love you-u as well, My Pearl"
Tumblr media
Jade couldn't help but sigh as you cuddled into his side. The movie played quietly in the background as he leaned his head on yours. He felt your hands grip his shirt, a yawn leaving your mouth as you struggled to keep your eyes open.
"Love you, My little fish" He mumbled, placing a kiss on your head.
You hummed, eyes closed as you began to drift off. "Love....you too...My Sea King...."
Tumblr media
Floyd snickered as he pulled on your fingers, making you whine as he dragged your arm away from its comfortable position. He couldn't help his normal smile grace his face as you hid your face from his view.
"Love you Shrimpy-Chan~" He cooed, nuzzling his cheek against your head, messing up your hair.
Huffing in annoyance, you lightly bit down on his skin--just enough for a light sting. "Love you too, Annoying Eel"
Floyd couldn't help but place your fingers in his mouth, biting down softly.

SUMMARY: A handful of TWST characters that I headcanon have not had their first kiss yet and you kissing them for the first time.
WARNINGS: None!!
COMMENTS: riddle and idia and azul are obvious but i feel like i need to explain jade and floyd. they're clearly emotionally detached from most people and probably scared off anyone that might remotely be interest in (even though if they can be scared off, the twins would probably find them boring anyway) so they haven't kissed anyone yet in my silly little head. thats all!!
i was listening to cherry wine by hozier while writing floyd's part so if its softer than usual that's why OOPS
the asexual in me loves writing about hesitant physical intimacy leave me alone :C
Tumblr media
Riddle Rosehearts feels his hands shaking as you stare, eyes so calm and hopeful that makes his heart lurch. He doesn’t know how to give you what you want without curling in on himself and becoming flustered. It’s unbecoming of him to cower like this, but he can’t help it. your hand against his cheek, the other one resting on his shoulder, your faces so close together. He feels like he might die if he doesn’t kiss you, but he doesn’t know how and he doesn’t want to mess this up because he’s supposed to just know.
“You don’t have to know,” you whisper, and you sound so certain that his heart flutters like a caged bird, “Every person is different. Everyone has a different feel to their kiss, and I’m glad I get to help you discover yours.”
He can’t breathe.
“Will you allow me?” you murmur, tilting your head the slightest bit and oh, he knows what's coming and he doesn’t want to stop it.
“Please.” he breathes, slamming his eyes shut, “Kiss me.”
Tumblr media
Azul’s shaking hands find their way to your hips as if they were always meant to be there, pressed against your pants and brushing against the hem of your shirt. He sucks in a breath as your arms are draped around his neck, like a blanket of love coating him in warmth. His body does feel impossibly hot, and he wonders for a moment if you truly are magical.
His mouth feels dry so he wets his lips, and when your eyes flicker towards them at the movement he almost dies.
“Azul, it’s okay. We don’t have to do this if you don’t want to.” you murmur, softly and with so much understanding. It’s frustrating, how Azul wants every part of you and you’re willing to wait for him. You’re too good for him.
“I want to.” he whispers, pleading in a way that only someone as powerful as him can, “I want to kiss you, so please—”
Azul talks too much. You’re painfully aware of this fact and so is he. Maybe that’s why you shut him up and replaced his greedy pleas with the sound of soft kissing, but then again, Azul doesn’t need to know what other reasons you had for kissing him. The only reason he needs is your love.
Tumblr media
Jade does not understand why it’s such a shock to you that he has yet to be kissed. You have seen him in his merform, you have fought him in his merform, and yet your brain cannot wrap around the concept that people find him terrifying. Really, you are an amusing one.
“The merpeople my age were scared of me, pearl.” he chuckles politely as you gape at him from across the Mostro Lounge table he seated you at hours before, “I had yet to be in a romantic relationship until you.”
“But you’re so handsome.” you huff, and it looks like you’re pouting, “Your peers have no taste.”
“Ah, or mayhaps your taste is an acquired one, my dear.” he smiles his closed-eyed smile, and revels in the amused snort his response elicits.
“We should kiss then.” you blurt, and Jade’s eyes fly open in surprise. You’re leaning across the table with shimmering eyes and a huge smile like you can’t wait to kiss him.
How peculiar.
“Do you want to be kissed?” he says, feigning surprise.
“By you? More than anything.” you say breathlessly, and Jade finds himself leaning into you to really take your breath away.
Tumblr media
Floyd stares intently at your lips, brow furrowed and eyes narrowed. He looks like a predator about to pounce on its prey, and despite how cliche that comparison is for someone like him you can’t help but squirm.
“Floyd.” you say softly, and he snaps out of it when he meets your gaze, “What’s wrong?”
“Shrimpy. Wanna try something new.” he leans closer, his shadow falling over you as if to remind you how scary he can really be, “I want to kiss you.”
Oh.
“Well, that’s doable.” you feel your face grow warm at his insistence as your hands find their way to his lapels.
Floyd’s features soften as he leans into you, his bristling energy soothed by your hands on him, pulling him closer to give him what he wants. Your mouths connect and for a moment you find yourself wincing as his teeth bump against yours, but he pulls back just the slightest bit and presses into your mouth with his mouth, and you lean back and back and back until the only support you have is his arm holding you close.
“Love you Shrimpy.” he grins as he stops kissing you, giggling against your lips. His breath is warm and you feel like a sweet ice cream cone in summer with the way you melt against him.
“Again.” you huff quietly, and Floyd is all too happy to oblige.
Tumblr media
Idia was not expecting to be thrown into a super hard boss level right off the bat. Seriously, what is this? Why did you always have to play with such gimmick stats that made no sense and never follow any specific trope?! It wasn’t good for his heart!
It wasn’t that he didn’t want you to kiss him, it was just so hard not to think about everything that could go wrong. Like what if he bit you by accident? What if he yawned or sneezed in your mouth? What was the last thing he ate? Where did he put his hands and how is he supposed to move his lips?!
“Idia, it’s okay. We can wait a little while longer. This isn’t something you can rush.” you rub your thumb over his cheek, always so gentle and tender and sweet and everything he never thought he would find.
“No, I want to. I just...don’t look at me like that!” he squeaks, ducking his head in his hoodie as the tips of his hair flare pink and red.
“Sorry!” you turn away and let him breathe, trying so desperately to calm down.
“Just...can it be a quick one?” he asks shyly, tentatively, and he hears you hum in satisfaction because he’s communicating and he knows you like it when he tells you what he wants.
“It can be anything you want.” you answer softly, and Idia slams his eyes shut and leans into you.
How you manage to make such normie things seem so nice is a mystery to him, but he doesn’t think he can ever get enough of your lips gliding across his like they were never meant to do anything but kiss him.

12:34 PM ~ *Azul Ashengrotto*
Tumblr media
Summary: The Mostro Lounge is slammed. Azul is trying to help pick up the slack. But there is a reason as to why he’s the only one working…
Pairing: Azul Ashengrotto X Fem!Reader
Genre: Fluffy Drabble
Word Count: 596
Warning: Flustered Azul
Masterlist
Azul was confused. He knew that the kitchen staff needed his help today, so he was busy doing all he could in the kitchen to help out. It’s not that he minded the work, far from it actually. He enjoyed cooking when he could. However, the Mostro Lounge usually wasn’t this slammed. For some reason they were struggling to keep up today. He wasn’t going to complain, because money was money, but it didn’t take long for him to notice that there was no one else in the kitchen with him.
Befuddled by this fact, he dried his hands after finishing rinsing off the last dish, and made his way to the dining area. From behind the counter, he could already see what the problem was. All of his coworkers were surrounding a booth, talking and laughing with someone in particular. He frowned as he threw the towel he was using over his shoulder and made his way over to them.
His cheeks flushed pink when he saw who had captured everyone’s attention.
It was Floyd who saw him first and he gave him a cheeky grin. “Oh, Zuzu, why didn’t you tell any of us you had a cute little girlfriend, hmm?”
“Yeah, one who calls you Zuzu because you gave her a flower when you confessed, and she pressed the petals into her favorite book. And the petals remind her of Zuzu’s petals from “It’s a Wonderful Life”.” Jade snickered behind his hand.
“Y-Y/n, can I talk to you for a moment?” Azul stammered, trying to keep his composure.
You nodded. “Of course Zuzu! I’ll be right back, boys!”
“Bye Y/n.” They cooed at you, making him wince.
Behind the counter again, he asked you, “What are you doing here?”
Smiling brightly, you answered, “Well, I knew you were busy at work, and I could see you working so hard. So I decided I should come over and give you some moral support. That and it’s lunchtime. Since I’ve always wanted to try the food from your Lounge, I thought today would be the perfect day to finally visit! When I got here and didn’t see you, I asked one of the staff about you and I told him I was your girlfriend. And that’s how I met all of your sweet friends!”
He sighed, closing his eyes as he did so. The reason he didn’t want you to meet his staff was because he was already teased enough by the Leech twins. Now they were all going to tease him even more because you were here. Not that he was ashamed of you or anything! That wasn’t it at all! He just didn’t need to give them anymore of a reason to torment him.
Opening his eyes, he watched you place a hand on his forehead. He blushed heavily at your touch and the  cute, heart melting frown on your face. “You must be exhausted, Zuzu. You should come by the Ramshackle dorm on your break and I can let you take a nap in my room.”
Azul felt his cheeks flush red and he heard the others laughing at the two of you. Sighing again, he knew that he was going to be subjected to jokes and teasing all day. But it didn’t matter to him right now. He could take an extended break just so he could be with you and they would have to work harder than they normally did. Nodding, he accepted your invitation and kissed you, causing the boys to go berserk as you smiled into the kiss.

How Do They Apologize To You When They Make You Upset/Mad Part 3/3 - Azul Ashengrotto
Tumblr media
Azul knew he had to save you, but he couldn't save you in this form since he still wasn't use to swimming with human legs. Azul was conflicted because in order for him to save you, he would have to turn into his Octopus form; which he absolutely detested, but if he didn't, you would drown. Azul pulled out a potion from his pocket, that would cancel out the effects of the human form, and turn him into his Merman form. Downing the potion, Azul jumped into the pool and began swimming towards you at lightning speed; as his body transformed. Azul found you and wrapped his tentacles around you. He then began swimming back up to the surface. Both of you reached the surface, with Azul still holding you with his tentacles, but you were still unconscious. Azul put his hand on your head, feeling a slight bump from where you fell, but luckily there was no blood. Placing his hand on your cheek, he called out your name: "Y/N please wake up."
Slowly you started to wake up and began to take in your surroundings: "Huh? What happened?" You realized that Azul was holding you, while floating in the pool: "Azul?". Azul gave you a soft smile and said that you accidentally hit your head when you tried to leave and ended up sinking down the pool, since you were knocked out from the fall. Listening to Azul, you felt something touching your legs, so you looked down only to realize that Azul was in his octopus form and some of his tentacles were wrapped around your legs and torso, holding you up. Azul realized you noticed his octopus form and turned his head away in embarrassment: "I-I apologize you have to see me in this form, but I had to save you from drowning and my human legs are useless in the water." You continued to look at Azul as he was still looking away from you, but you just smiled and ran your hand on one of the tentacles holding you: "I'm not disgusted with you Azul. In fact, I find you very beautiful in this form." Azul froze as he slowly turned his head back towards you, as you moved your hand from one of his tentacles, to his chest and then moving it up to his cheek. Blushing, Azul pulled you closer to him and laid his head on your shoulder. "You're the only one who has seen me in this form and not look away in disgust" Azul continued holding you tightly as you listened to Azul. "I wanted to apologize to you Y/N. I had gotten so use to making deals with students and taking their talents; that I never gave the idea of friendship a thought because I have a hard time trusting others. Every since I was a child, I was bullied for how I looked, and I wanted revenge against those who caused me pain. However, you came to this world and despite everything I did prior including my overblot, you still saw me as a friend." Azul slowly removed his head from your shoulder and looked you straight in the eyes with a bashful look. With a smile, you leaned closer and placed your forehead against Azul's. "I accept your apology Azul. No matter what you say or do or how you look, I will always be your friend and care about you; same with the Leech brothers as well." Azul let out a chuckle as he placed his hand upon your cheek: "You are one of a kind Angel-fish." Slowly, Azul leaned closer, lips coming to meet yours in a sweet kiss as he pulled you closer to him with his tentacles. You wrapped your arms around him and kissed back, as you both continued to float in the pool.

A sun stained love, golden as daylight
Tumblr media
Characters: Azul Ashengrotto.
Genre: Hurt Comfort, Romantic Fluff.
Summary: Wherein Azul is a fortunate soul to have someone like you in his life.
Warnings:
GN!Reader, tooth rotting fluff.
The ending is set in the future.
Azul was having trouble sleeping again.
He might not admit it, but the faint traces of exhaustion underneath his eyes was a giveaway that he was plagued with nightmares.
Turns out you were right when he called you one night to come over to his room, asking you sheepishly if you could stay with him for a few nights.
“Can’t sleep, my love?”
Upon hearing your soothing yet worried voice, Azul’s constant tossing and turning came to a halt.
“I’m sorry, if I’m being a burden.” Azul’s eyes glistened, peering at you with guilt.
“No, you're not a burden. You asked for me, so I’m here.” you emphasized, kissing his forehead to ease his mind. “On the contrary, it is a joy having you near me.”
Azul fell silent, taking his time to soak in your kind words.
You always had a way with your words that managed to calm his troubled mind.
Then and there, he could feel lightness blooming in his soul.
“Sweetheart?”
“Yes, love?” you hummed, lips curling into a smile.
“You’re honestly the most beautiful soul I’ve ever met.” said Azul, feeling a rush of intense love as you looked at him with affectionate eyes.
“Oh my, I’m not sure how to respond to that.”
“Uh, well, you can say I know from here on.”
“Alright then.” you giggled lightly.
“You’re honestly the most beautiful soul I’ve ever met.” Azul repeated, his loving gaze never straying from your bright face.
“I know.” you said, your smile not wavering.
So are you, Azul. you thought to yourself, and deep down he knew that too.
“When I’m with you, I feel happy and I feel like I’m home.”
“I know.”
“You gave my abandoned thoughts a safe place in your heart.”
“I know.”
“When everything was falling apart, you didn’t let go of my hand. You helped me endure and encouraged me to carry on.” Azul brushed a kiss on the crown of your head.
“I know, my love. I know.” Tears emerged from your eyes, and you let it flow freely.
“You’re very dear and important to me.” Azul cupped your tear-stained cheek, caressing it lightly.
“I know, and so are you.” Leaning into his touch, you placed a little kiss on his hand.
Then his room was engulfed in a comfortable silence.
In the darkness of the night, you listened to each other’s gentle breathing and drifted to a peaceful slumber.
★ —
Azul watched you laughing heartily with Jade and Floyd, but he was the one out of breath.
Every time he heard you laugh, happy thoughts came rushing to his heart and mind.
It was a weekend, early in the morning when he decided to wander by the sea alongside you and the Leech brothers.
The spring breeze blew calmly, and the mellow sun shimmered gloriously like amber.
“Hey Azul,” Jade called out. “Won’t you stop staring at your darling?”
The silver-haired man was gazing at you the whole time with a failed attempt to hide his big smile, the same lovely smile you always adored.
“It astonishes me that my darling is still here with us. I still can’t believe it.”
“You better believe it now.” Jade teased him in a good natured tone.
You were supposed to depart from Twisted Wonderland when you were in your third year, and return to where you came from, but God had other plans for you.
Somehow you were destined to stay here.
After all, you believed that home was never a place.
It was a feeling. It was being with the people who you truly loved and cared for.
You belonged with the people who appreciated having you in their lives, and loved you back wholeheartedly.
“There’s no place I’d rather be.” you beamed at your beloved Azul, then at the twins, your glowing smile brimming with a love deeper than the oceans.
Azul’s mind was blown at the breathtaking sight of you, looking so delighted and vivacious.
Even now, he was still wonderstruck at how you seemed to bring the warmth and the light of the radiant sun wherever you go.
Your existence, your presence, and your love wasn’t burning red. It was bright, luminous and golden as daylight.
When Azul Ashengrotto thought that his once cold heart couldn’t melt softly any further, it did.

no matter what (i will always love you)
characters: azul ashengrotto, gn!reader warnings: fluff, a bit of angst (self-hatred towards own body) a/n: - the azul ashengrotto fanbase is growing!! tbh i almost started to write angst until i realized u wanted fluff lmao (i'm sorry for making him cry in most of my works for him :( ) - thank you for sending in, @azulashengrottospiano<3 this is dedicated to you, i'm sorry for making you cry!!! - feedback is appreciated!
Tumblr media
Azul Ashengrotto feels stares crawling up, like centipedes on his disgusting tentacles and resists the urge to full-on bawl. He hides in the darkest corner of the room and his tentacles react subconsciously to his feelings, wrapping around his indigo body to mimic a ball of yarn.
Of course today they were making a potion that ended up failing spectacularly due to a petty, jealous second year student throwing an unknown ingredient into his potion. Of course, he had to be drenched in it! And of course, he was turned into his detested marine form! Could this day get any worse?
"Azul?"
He hears you, calling out his name. Normally, he would have swooned at the way your accent rolled his name on your tongue, your tone filled with your love for him (he still couldn't believe that you loved him back, of all people). But now, it's like a nightmare come true.
Azul quickly scrabbles away, slipping through the screaming students and taking advantage of the chaos. He walks (slides? slithers? he doesn't know anymore) across the floor but unfortunately bangs himself painfully against somebody. He looks up, mouth open to brutally rip the person apart, and suddenly all his vocal cords fail to work. He didn't just bump into anybody, he bumped into you.
"A-Azul?"
Azul squeezes his eyes shut and looks away. He doesn't dare to face you right now, not when he is in such a hideous form. Careful fingers pry him from the floor; his suction cups make an embarrassingly loud pop! noises as you do so.
"Oh darling," He hears you murmur. He feels your gentle touch on his limbs and resists the shudder from the delight your simple action brings him. "Look at you! You're gorgeous!"
Yes, Azul knows he is hideous- wait what?
"You're so cute! Your purple is a gorgeous shade, I'm so envious of it! And look at your tentacles! They are so cute- urgh I'm at a loss for words!"
"Y-You don't hate me?" He musters up the courage to speak, opening one eye only to spot you climbing up the railing of Mostro Lounge's aquarium. His eyes sparkle at the sight of water, suddenly reminding him of how dry his skin felt. He gently slips away from your arms and into the water, relishing in the relaxation that the simple action brings him.
"Gorgeous. Absolutely stunning."
"Don't say words you don't mean," Azul murmurs, shaking his head. "Don't...don't bring up my hopes like that!"
A gentle kiss on his forehead made his eyes widen dramatically and his skin flushed a shade of dark purple. His tentacles wiggle in the water as he attempts to regain his posture but fails miserably. You laugh before bringing his face closer and gently giving him a nose kiss - human nose to merman nose. He blinks adorably as you give him another kiss on the lips, unafraid to kiss him with so much love, so much passion. He freezes up before slowly kissing you back, his humanoid arms coming up to cradle your fragile human body.
"I promised you, didn't I?" You breathe out breathlessly. Azul's kisses always manage to do so, no matter what or when. "I love you in every form. Nothing will ever change that."
Azul Ashengrotto holds back tears of relief and gratitude before diving for another kiss. This time, his tentacles react to his subconscious will as they circle you before clutching onto you close.
He never wants this moment to end, Azul thinks as he kisses you. His mind is just overflowing with love, love, and love.

PS: If it's alright with you, can we make this fluffy? Hehehe
Thank youuuuu!! ✨❤️
request are open! pls send one in :)
70. shooting star
azul ashengrotto; 1,788 words, fluff; gn!reader; a human and a mer-person fall in love -- it's a tale as old as time
"we are not figuratively, but literally made of stardust." - neil degrasse tyson
he has known since the day he was born the shape of the water around him, the shade of the sea, the taste of an ocean as it rests at the tip of his tongue. it has always been blue and blue and blue, and deep and deep and deep. salt and brine and sand like the forgotten dust of long-gone stars.
the first time he stumbles across the shipwreck, moored at the bottom of his deep, blue, saltine ocean, he lingers over the glittering metal, runs his fingers across the broken mast, marvels at the rust that shatters like snowflakes beneath his touch. he twists and tugs at the ruined sails till his curiosity sits sated in the pit of his stomach.
he meets you in a forgotten grotto, at the end of a stretch of forgotten beach, nestled against an island that, while has not yet been forgotten, seems to be well on it’s way as well. he finds you lying limp, your body half submerged in the shallows.
ah, a shipwreck, he thinks. and then, oh… a survivor.
then, you cough, you sputter, you hack up what he’s sure is a quarter of the ocean before shaking your head and pushing yourself up and he is still there, his body a livewire mess of tangled tentacles. he presses himself into a shape that you’re more familiar with, the lessening of his eight limbs down to just two is always strange but… necessary.
at least for first impressions. and they’re ever so important.
“h-hello.”
he nearly swears at himself for being so hesitant.
you swipe the back of your hand over your lips, blinking blearily at him through salt-caked lashes.
“y-you… i — where…?”
you’re disoriented, but of course you are. azul clears his throat and tries again.
“i — i’m glad you’re alright. you were… i found you passed out and… and thought to come and check on you.” good, he thinks, that sounded good. convincing.
you regard him with a curious look before your eyes rove over the rest of him and… a grin twists your lips.
“you… missed a spot.”
azul whips around to find a single tentacle, still trailing in the sand behind him, the crystalline water lapping at his smooth, rubbery skin.
“damnit! i thought i’d gotten them all this time — !”
but the sound of your laughter shatters his frustration, his embarrassment. it renders him speechless and holds him still. for a moment, he is taken by it, the warmth and fullness of the sound as you collapse into your own laughter, falling back against the soft, wet sand, your sea-pruned hands clutching at your stomach.
“i — it’s not — i just — !” azul stutters, heat clawing up his neck and cheeks as he forcibly finishes his transformation, wiping his hands absently down his back to make doubly sure, but you only smile, dabbing at the edge of your eyes as your laughter fades into giggles.
“s-sorry — i didn’t mean to — i just… you did a very good job,” but something in your voice still makes his stomach twist and azul has to take three deep breaths to stave off the very real urge to dive back into the water, to disappear back into the comforting depths of the ocean and never return.
“i — it’s harder than it looks,” he says, stiffly.
you nod, all solemn seriousness now, though there’s still a twinkle in each of your eyes that so, so reminds him of the evening stars.
this is how you meet. and this, he thinks, is how he falls in love.
you’re the child of sailors, adventurers, people who have always lived their lives on the sea. and azul is nothing if not hungry for knowledge. the pair of you trade stories like secrets and laughter like currency.
you tell him of all the places you been, all the miracles you’ve seen. and in turn, he tells you of the creatures of deep, all the monsters and their dreams.
the first time he kisses you, he catches both of you off guard.
“oh — s-sorry —” he says, but his next words are cut off as you jerk him back towards you, your teeth clacking painfully against his, but he doesn’t care. he wouldn’t have cared if you’d made him bleed. he would’ve wanted it, leaned in like he is now, tugging you closer just to revel in the sting.
you kiss him so hard he feels dizzy, so hard he can’t breathe. so hard he finds himself wondering if there’s ever been anything else but your lips and this feeling and falling in too deep.
it’s a strange feeling, yearning for air.
but he finds himself gasping, still, as you finally pull free.
“that…” you gulp down a much needed breath as he does the same, “i’ve… wanted to do that for a while…”
azul shudders to think himself anything close to feline, but if he were, he thinks he might have purred.
“you… you have?” he tries not to sound too pleased, adjusting his glasses.
“y-yeah — isn’t that strange?”
“no!” he says, too fast, and then immediately, turning away to clear his throat, “i just meant — i — i don’t think it’s strange.”
“no? does that… does that mean you felt the same?” there’s a teasing lilt to your voice that makes his whole body shake with shivers. he crinkles his nose and takes a deep breath and grasps at the tendrils of composure trickling from his gasp as he chews on his lips.
“i — well i did kiss you first, didn’t i?” and he nearly curses himself again for sounding like a petulant child.
“hm… i guess you did. but… you tried to say sorry.”
“that was — i didn’t mean —” azul groans, burying his face in his hands as he fights the urge to curl in on himself. and he would have, had he been under water and with full use of his tentacles. but he’s not, so he can’t, and he doesn’t.
but you laugh, and all is right again. you laugh and nudge him with your shoulder and he nudges you back, pulling his hands away from his face to watch you.
the setting sun and gathering clouds conspire to paint the horizon rosy.
“i know… i just like…” you shrug, letting your voice trail off as the sky darkens and the last lingering dregs of day are swallowed up by the lapping waves.
azul hums, for once reveling in the darkness that surrounds you, in gentle lull of a sleepy sea as it kisses and kisses and kisses the shore. not for the first time, he thinks of you. always you.
“you just like…?” he asks, his voice quiet now, a hushed, whispered thing.
and this time, when he glances over, he catches you ducking your head, and even like this, in the evening gloam just before moonrise, when the world is rendered monochrome by the ubiquitous glow of the sky and lack of direct light, he can see your cheeks darken.
“you.” you say, final and distinct and so, so sure. you glance at him, but he is staring back at you, slack-jawed.
“i… just like you,” you say, and azul wonders if this is what it feels like to fly.
he’s never thought all that much about flying before, not when he’s had swimming all his life, but… ever since he met you, he thinks he might like to try.
“well,” he muses, purposefully drawing out the word, “i think i… i just might —”
“look! a shooting star!”
your voice slices through the velvet night, pointing eagerly at the far horizon. azul whips around, just quick enough to catch the tail of star as it streaks across the sky.
“whoa…”
he’s never seen one before. he’s never spent so much time on the surface before he met you. and now that he has — he wonders if he can ever go back to living in the thickness of the sea.
the sky might be blue and big and heavy too, but it’s so different from the sea.
so much less salt, and so much more air.
“make a wish!” you say, clasping your fingers and closing your eyes. and azul remembers the strange human tradition you’d told him about of wishing on falling stars. at the time, he’d asked you if any of them have ever come true. to which you’d only shrugged and laughed and said does it matter? it’s the wishing part that counts!
and he hadn’t understood then, but watching you now, watching you with your eyes closed under the hazy curtain of a just drawn night, your fingers laced over one another as you wish on a fallen star, he thinks he might be starting to understand.
so he smiles, folds his fingers together and closes his eyes as well.
after a moment of quiet, he opens them to find you watching him.
“what did you wish for?” you ask.
azul blushes, and he’s sure that you can see it on his pale skin, even in the waxing light of the rising moon. he finds his heart in his chest like treasure tucked in the stomach of a sunken ship, his body a wreck of splinters and well-worn memories but he knows that he is no less precious. you’d taught him that.
“i thought that if i told, the wish won’t come true?”
you smile, you nod, you turn your eyes back to the glittering night sky.
he leans back to follow your gaze.
once, he’d wondered about the shape of air, the shade of the ever-bright sky, the taste of sunlight at the tip of his tongue. but now he’s kissed you, and he knows —
“fine then.” you say, as you pull him in to ghost your lips over his. he melts against you, fingers tugging you closer by the base of your neck, his mouth spelling hunger and honey as he moans against you.
“kiss me again,” he whispers when you pull apart.
you nod, breathless.
once, he’d wondered about the world above. but now, he’s kissed you and he knows — the air is sweet and sharp enough to sting, the sky is bright and blue and biting too. and that the sunlight — oh, the sunlight — it tastes like you, and you, and you.

just a small azul drabble for his birthday<3
he would be so mesmerized if you decorate the mostro lounge for his birthday. he goes to see what the commotion was since he notices that not everything is as it should be.
you can see his eyes start to water when he sees everything you set up just for his birthday. he's not used to people making a big deal out of him so he'll be so grateful.
he'll (try his best to) make it seem like he's not as affected from all this than he is. he'll probably end up crying when you're both alone later that night. he's just so happy he has someone like you who loves him and makes him happy:)
