Feel free to reject this but what about Aki with a male reader who acts like Megumi? Again feel free to reject this, I don’t want to push you to do something that you don’t feel comfortable doing.

𝗔𝗨𝗧𝗛𝗢𝗥'𝗦 𝗡𝗢𝗧𝗘: putting these two favs together was wild. hope the megumi-ish came though, i tried ! <3
Aki didn't understand you.
He admired you, respected your dedication to your work and efficiency getting jobs down. After enough mandatory meetings he began to gather a sense of who you were. You made no effort to talk to him, and vice versa. Still, as he finally learnt your name you shouldn't have been anything special, just another blank face in the corridors.
Keyword, should.
It was your personality that made his thoughts always circle back to you.
There was some thing about your gaze that was different. You always stood to the side, watching and the last one to speak. But when you did it always enraptured his attention. Your natural lack of expression did nothing to hide your intellect, your abilty to analyse and calculate.
He almost lept out of his skin the first time you joined him smoking. You lazily hung a cigarette between your teeth as you stepped up to join him on the balcony, and he instinctively lit it for you. It was a comforting moment. Just the two of you and the scent of mingling smoke, silent and gazing over the moonlit city.
He didn't miss the glimpse of your box of cigs, the same MEVIUS resting in his pocket. It was oddly annoying, that you'd have the same taste.
You were cold yes, but endearing. His frown learning you were to be partnered up was far too forced for his liking.
It became quickly apparent how kind you were, to the right people. There was no hesitation towards those who stood against you, but you cared quietly for the that mattered in a way he felt he'd miss if he blinked. Despite your walls, it was like you had a heart of gold. So rare in this line of work, he almost wanted to protect it. Almost.
He'd lost count of the times a can of coffee had been wordlessly pressed into his hands on a late night, or bentos magically appearing on his desk when he'd be working so hard he'd forget to eat. It was like second nature to you, passing and lighting a cigarette for him whenever he got too lost in thought.
You payed far too much attention to small details like that, but Aki couldn't bring himself to feel anything but awe, unwavering gratitude for your silent actions.
Still, you were an enigma.
Aki wasn't the most public person but getting to know you was like pulling teeth. It was months as partners before he even learned you liked guys. Or how you put it, you prefered personality and those 'morally good. Aki wasn't sure if he qualified as that, driven solely by revenge, but your heavy implication came as a shock.
Not that he needed to know. Nor did the knowledge made his heart flutter. Liar.
He should've seen the signs - how he'd admire you for a second too long, smoke under the stars wishing you were there or feel an emptiness when you weren't at his side. Before he could help it, he'd fallen head over heels for you. Each accidentally touch or almost laughs warmed his veins like no one else.
The final straw was so mudane. You'd been out on patrol togther, when suddenly he felt you weren't at his side. It was concerning, how second nature knowing you were there had become. Panic rose in his throat as he looked around frantically, and froze.
He'd never questioned your abilty to summon animals in battle, clearly a result of your demon pact.
That didn't stop the sight in front of him melting any fragment of ice inside his chest. Clearly you'd seen a dog on the side of the street, and gone to greet it summoning your own. The view was mesmerising. Your laugh carried like music through the air to him, as you cooed and squeled as a mountain of fur licked and jumped on you. You were so at peace, so alive in that moment, Aki regretted never bringing you near animals sooner.
It was a purely lovable sight, and love it he did.
It was a undeniable realisation, a crescendo of every endearing detail about you. He liked you, needed you in his life. And was clueless on what to do about it. But before he had to, the universe acted for him.
It was supposed to be simple errand, after which you'd agreed to grab drinks with him. Aki tried to hide is excitement, ignoring the bounce in his step as you arrived at the scene. A quick collection and he was free to spend the evening with you. You'd even smiled when he asked you, a sight he'd only dreamed off. It was cruel, how rare he got to see how handsome it was.
Lost in thought, he couldn't even react.
Before either of you could move, there was a gunshot. Straight at Aki. You screamed. A hand grabbed his shoulder roughly and pulled but it wasn't quick enough - he felt fire explode in his side.
As he recoiled all he could think was how he'd never heard you so loud, so full of emotion. He hit the ground as his world tilted. There was nothing but pure rage dripping from your tongue as you tore into the culprit, roaring in Aki's direction. 'Stay awake, you idiot!'
Maybe it was the blood loss, but the sight of you fighting for him was breathtaking. He'd never seen you so enraged. You weaved around and battered the shooter with a hunger, vengence powering your fists. Your speed was inhumane, clearly spurred on by your partner by your feet. All the while, wearing a maniac grin.
If he wasn't in so much pain the sight would've made his stomach flip.
He couldn't tell how long the fight lasted, just watching your inhumane display. As quickly as it had begun, it was over.
As his vision started to fade Aki thought he could feel your hand on his cheek. It had to be his imagination, you'd never willingly touch him if you could help it. Scratch that you'd just saved his life. Just as his consciousness ebbed he could've swore he heard you curse 'If you die I swear I'll kill you myself.'
It was a full day later when he came to, bandaged up and disorientated. And the first thing he did was ask for you. Your display of raw emotion had sealed it, he had to tell you how he felt. Especially when you learned you were coming running.
When you came to visit him in the hospital, he confessed. A simple 'I like you.' He wanted to spill all his cliche thoughts, of wanting to cherish you while you both could, with how dangerous your line of work is.
But as soon as the words were out his mouth he trailed off.
Your entire face was flushed, heat spreading to the tips of your ears. The sight was the cutest thing Aki had ever seen, wishing he could capture image of how you pulled up your collar in an attempt to hide. To see you so shy in contrast of your usual stoic expression made him only fall for you more.
It only reaffirmed for Aki, you were the prettiest boy he'd ever seen.
A hopeful grin spread across his face. He forgot how to breath as you moved closer. Your touch tickled his cheeks as he stared into your gorgeous eyes, framed by sinfully long lashes. In an instant, you were kissing him.
Lips met and time stilled. All that existed was his lips, and yours. You kissed back with a furiosity he hadn't expected. Overwhelming heat radiated from you but he still needed more.
Aki deepened the kiss, earning a surprised squeak from you but returning with just as much passion. It was intoxicating, the sensation of your lips.
Not long enough, you both pulled back to breath. He rested his forehead against yours, basking in your presence, and the still tingling feeling in his lips. He felt hazy, unable to believe this was real. He almost missed your whisper, so so glad he hadn't.
'Be my boyfriend?' You breathed, quiet but full of love. God, you were beautiful. And now his. He didn't hesitate to meet your lips again, showing his answer with a severity words wouldn't do justice. It was earth shattering, how quickly he grew used to your touch under his fingers, even as he sat in a hospital bed.
You were untouchable, a brief moment of solace in his storm of a life. And he swore to treasure every moment, every smile and kiss. Your personalities were so similar yet different, complimenting perfectly. On and off the battlefield, you were in sync.
And if the next time you were smoking, he leaned in to light your cigarette with his, there was no one to see how you both blushed.
𝗕𝗢𝗡𝗨𝗦 𝗥𝗔𝗠𝗕𝗟𝗘𝗦: once dating - he'd love how stoic you are, taking it as a challenge to break through and make you laugh or blush. he'd love cooking for you, always offering no matter how tired you both were & sticking to your preferences. he'd adore how relaxed your style was, easily cozing up to you in your loughwear & wrapping arms around your waist from behind and nuzzling into your large sweater. would also 100% ask you to summon your dogs just to see your mirth, and definitely not to cuddle into their fluff on the couch. would also always offer you the last cigarette in his packet, how romantic pfft

There’s something I've been meaning to say but I haven't had the words till now. There is something that deeply upsets me about witnessing stories where villains, who are literal killers, fall in love and somehow become good or act outside of what is expected from them. I love love, love is beautfiul, it is powerful and it can truly change a lot. But to sit, and write a killer suddenly go "actually, this one can stay because I am in love for the first time" is such a weird concept to me. Is this happening because as a sociaty we're trying to convince ourselves that deeply disturbed people can be cured by the power of love? That if they just find the right person, they would stop the masacer? or at least no longer feel the need to kill how they were or at least let their person live? And I am not mad at the love, I do belive anyone can fall deeply in love, but my issue is with how it ends. I want to witness the unthinkable — I want to see is exactly what we expect but hoped won't happen, happening. A gut wrenching truth that stays true to who we have been witnessing, despite the "I can change them" dance. And perhaps people hate this idea because they want to belive that anyone can change if only they meet the right one, or that we can change the monsters in our lives with affection, but trust most likly is that they cannot be changed. And I can understand that to some this is then seen as an illusion. "oh then this was never true love", why can the two not exist? Do we not hurt those we love? Maybe not kill them, but someone elses hurt could feel like a small death to me, and vice versa.
Examples, so that you are not confused as to what I am reffering too;
Killing Eve; I stopped watching when Villanelle was shown shooting Eve. It felt true to her character, even if it hurt. She is a killer, we knew that and so did Eve. Regardless of her love, that was what was always going to happen so why were we given additional seaons of this fanatsy of a declawed Villanelle?
Hannibal; It should have ended with the death of Will, and possibly Hannibal consuming him. Didn't Hannibal say that the consumption of Will would somehow join them in a deeper way?Something so disturbing that only could make sense to a serial killing-cannibal. And I would have watched with wide eyes, and gone to sleep staring at the ceiling.
Interveiw With The Vampire; Louis' death in the hand of a Lestat would have made sense, and despite his dramatics, Lestat would have not committed suicide but instead burried himself in deep regret untill he was too numb to his own feelings that he could return to the world of the living. He would have never forgotten Louis, nor what he did, but he would have moved on beause Lestat is not a good person. He's deeply disturbed and Louis knew this. I don't even aknoclege that beatdown episode because Lestat may be a killer, but he's a drama queen first and formost. Louis' death would have been poetic, beautiful and grusom like a greek tragedy without an audiance.
Bonus - Twilight; I could not end without adding my own favorite, and despite this path never being teased to the audiance the same way the other's were, I would have loved the book simply ending because Edward did as he said he would - drained Bella like a Caprisun on a hot summer day. Because what is love agaisnt animalistic urgase (I understand why it is much hotter that he is simply so retsrained and devoted that he resists her, but I'd pay good money for an AU)
At the end of it all, I think want I want is for sociaty to get over the idea that a good woman, love or any form of kindness can change who some people are. Love can do many things - look at crimes of passion! And to some extend I belive that these villain's love were true, possibly not the way we imagine them - which is less so "I love you too" and more so, "wow, finally someone I can manipulate and obsess over. Someone who I can mold, someone who is alone in the world like me" only to realize that is not true.
So why do we make love into what it isnt? Even when the scene is set for us to be shown the truth, writers and the audiance always make the plot lean towards whatever fits so that we can have that "happy ending".
Honorable mentions;
God should have killed Lucifer, I know the bible and christianity is not technically fiction for all, but the idea that he is forgivin but lets the biggest meanness HE CREATED terrorize everybody is evil. Take him out or let somebody else do it homie.
