2B with an affectionate s/o
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
pairing: 2B x gn!reader
tags: fluff, established relationship
Tumblr media
you'll hear the "emotions are prohibited" line from 2B quite a lot!
still, just because she keeps reminding you of it, doesn't mean that she truly means what she says
despite 2B cold exterior, she actually loves how affectionate you are! 
and whenever she tells you that "emotions are prohibited", she's actually trying to remind herself of it and not you
2B wishes she could be as open with her feelings as you are and even envies you a bit for being so openly affectionate
she loves you a lot and wants to show you the same level of affection, yet she struggles with showing her emotions and fully opening up to you
which is why it makes her even happier that showing your emotions comes so naturally to yourself! 
2B craves affection and she's so thankful that you can openly be affectionate towards her
she always melts into your embrace, being able to forget about everything else, while you hold her in your arms
and in some of her weakest moments, she even finds herself softly crying, relieved that she's dating someone who gives her all the affection she craves so much!

Sweet and hopless romantic crush has no lucky in love
Tumblr media
[ HEADCANONS ] [ Nagisa, Mob, Hitohito, Gojo, Nier, Emil ]
[ Assassination Classroom ] [ Mob Psycho 100 ] [ Komi can't communicate ] [ My Dress-Up Darling ] [ NieR Replicant ]
Tumblr media
× Inspired on Mitsuri (from Demon Slayer)
Can you do me a favor and read this while hearing this song? I just can't stop hearing it!! 😩😩 I heard it while writing this!!
I had read some fics with Mitsuri reader before and almost NO ONE talk about this side of her (even when she is the love pilar 💀), so i decided to do it myself!!
Tumblr media
Nagisa Shiota
Being in Class 3-E isn't easy for anyone and yet you always have a cheerful attitude that makes you highlight, once Koro-sensei came to the class and everyone started to get happier they just start to match more your energy (and you become pretty popular in the classroom)
It isn't strange for Nagisa to develop a little crush on you but as you two grow closer his feelings for you slowly grows and yet it take him a long time to notice his feelings for you (is more probably that Karma his closest friends are the ones who notice it)
As Nagisa grows closer to you he finds the pleasant surprised of you sweet and cheerful personality, something that slowly start to bright his days and help him forget about his worries and problems (sometimes because of your sweetness, other times for amusment of your personality)
Most of them doesn't really talks about their plans for the future since most of them had lost hope for being in Class 3-E (Nagisa isn't the exception, specially for his mother's plan), so it should be you who bring up the topic about you having a dream, otherwise he will never get to know unless he over hears it, in any case getting to know that your dream is to get married is something that surprise him a lot, he has never thought on something like that but you seem so motivated by it that he can't help to laugh a little, he apologize clarifying that is just amusment
It would take him a while to get used to your sweet and affectionate side because he isn't used to it, Nagisa is more used to be ignore or bothered by others, even more used to deal with the pressure his mother put on him but someone who just accept him as he is is pretty new to him, and being clingy and/or affectionate flustered him (more than it should, since is from someone he likes is even more flustering)
He finds pretty amusing and hilarious your hability to find something good and/or atractive on everyone, he can't help but laugh a little anytime you start to give compliments (or just say it to yourself) about all your classmates, Nagisa doesn't really feel jealous or insecure, or at least not at the moment is later when being alone when he start to think about it and start to feel a little down about it, since he doesn't see anything special on himself he think that you probably won't see anything special on him neither
When you do compliment him Nagisa is completely surprised by it, he doesn't expect it nor force you to say anything about him, at first he is surprised but he quickly change to be flustered and yet he says that you don't have to say anything and that it isn't a big deal because he doesn't fully believe the compliment, the more you insist with your sweet and lovely voice the more flustered he is, so at the end he just shyly accept it in hopes that you stop (that not always work). As well, even if you don't give him a compliment Karma will ask you directly what do you think about Nagisa just to tease him (because he knows about his crush)
Nagisa finds suprising your bad luck in love, for how sweet, lovingly and enthusiastic are with dating someone he doesn't see how you can have such bad past experiences, he doesn't know what to say so he just resort to comfort you by telling you how amazing you are in his eyes and wish you luck to find someone who truly loves you (since he is speaking from his heart he probably make a little obvious his feelings)
Even when he does notice and accept his feeling for you Nagisa won't do much about it, he doesn't want to force his feelings on you and he doesn't think you will see him that way anyway (specially for how sweet and popular you are), so is more probably that is his and yours friends (along with Koro-sensei) who will be pushing each other closer
Tumblr media
Shigeo Kageyama
Mob is more used to be alone, despite his powers he isn't someone how stand out a lot, not like he wants to, Mob goes on his day with calm and naturalness
For Mob to develop romantic feelings isn't too difficult nor has to be a slow process, but when he does has a crush it affect him a lot and is pretty obvious, but in the case you two are close (or even become close) he slowly get used to his feelings and can interact with you without becoming a blushing mess
Your sweet and cheerful personality always brights his day, everytime he sees you smiling he can't help but smile too (with a little blush), sometimes he stares at you because he is mesmerize (until someone or even you take him out of his trance, making him a little embarrassed)
Whenever you two interact and you are sweet to him Mob feels special and fuzzy, he becomes a litte shy and can't just say no to you, he can handle you being really sweet with him but getting too close or even affectionate with him is more difficult for him to handle, even if is that you got closer to him he is already a nervous flustered mess, stuttering almost every word that leave his lips
Mob doesn't tent to talk much about the future or his own dreams (is probably that he doesn't exactly have one) but he is more than willing to hear you talk about your dreams, when you do tell him that your dream is to find love and to marry the person you love he immediatly tells you that is an amazing dream, he doesn't see anything bad on your wish and doesn't judge you for it, he may think on the posibility of being that person but he quickly throw away that idea for being really embarrassed for it. Is probably that he will tell Ritsu or even Reigen about your dream later when he thinks about it again, and is more like thinking out loud (he doesn't mind much their opinion, he will still think is a good dream)
Mob literally can't believe how bad luck you have in love, in his eyes you are completely amazing and beautiful so he can't understand why others won't like to be with you, let alone criticize you for your personality or wish, he doesn't know what to do to comfort you and get pretty nervous if you really seem sad for your past experiences, he tries his best to help you calm down but not even then he knows what he is doing so is probably that he end up telling you how amazing you are in his eyes (not really thinking in if his being obvious with his crush or not)
Mob finds pretty amusing your hability to always find something good and even atractive on the others, he likes hearing you rant about it and compliment people, mainly because you looks so excited over it, also he knows your compliments are genuine and he find it really endearing. He normally doesn't feel jealous nor insecure over it, is just something else he likes from your personality, however he do sometimes wonder if the people you compliment are more your type (specially towards those you seem more excited or had just compliment), wondering if he was more like that person he would have more chances with you, giving him more motivate to improve himself
Whenever you do give him a compliment, even for something small, he quickly becomes a flustered mess, even a little embarrassed and shyly telling you that it isn't a big deal (if you insist he becomes a little more flustered but at the same time make him feel special), and, as much as it flustered him receiving compliments from you, he actually loves it. If you don't give him directly compliments, or have been a while since the last time you had say something good about him is probably that Ritsu will try to help by telling you something good about Mob just so you can see the good on him (sometimes is the Body Improvement Club who talks you about him but is more when he improves on something)
Tumblr media
Hitohito Tadano
After what happened during high school Hitohito decided to take things slowly and just be a normal student, not really wanting to highlight a lot, however that will be pretty difficult since he became best friends with the the school goddess and is crushing a pretty popular person
For Hitohito to fall in love is a slowly process, but when he does he does it hard, he loves a lot but will never force his feelings on you, that is why most of the time he just try to be near you trying to not make his feelings obvious
You two probably started being friends when he and Shouko approached to you in hopes to become your friend, explaining Shouko's dream to have 100 friends to what you answered by cheerfuly supporting her and gladly becoming her friend, saying that you have your own dream you want to achieve. Curiosity quickly pick them and is Hitohito who asked you about it without thinking (for what he will try to apologize), you quickly answered with a dreamly voice that your wish is to get married, to love someone and be loved, Hitohito was dumbfounded while Shouko decided to show you her support too, but at the end he doesn't judge you nor tell you is a bad wish
Even when he doesn't say it out loud, Hitohito is pretty flustered by your cheerful and sweet personality, you always have a sweet smile on your lips that make Hitohito feel flustered, specially when that smile is for him, even when it seem like your smile will never go away his heart just skip a beat whenever he is the one making you smile
It takes a while to notice and accept his own feelings for you so for most of the time he just support you on your wish to find a partner and heard you rant about it, even when he gets a strange feeling on his chest he just tries to ignore it, telling himself that you aren't forced to choose him or anything and he should cheerish for you like a good friend (and he still say it to himself once he accept his feelings because he will never force his feeling on you)
Hitohito is always willing to heard you rant about the attractive qualities you find in your classmates or whenever you seem specially attracted to someone (even if he doesn't understand how you do it or why), Hitohito, deep down on his heart actually wishes that it would be him for the one you talk so lovingly or gives so much compliments but it doesn't take him long for him to get embarrassed for thinking that and try to shakes the thought of his head
If you ever give him a compliment, even just a small one, he becomes a flustered mess in one second, thanking you over and over again but insisting that it isn't a big deal (actually when Najimi finds out about his crush on you she constantly tease him by asking you what you think of him or say something just to make you start talking about him)
Hitohito doesn't undestand how you could have so bad lucky in love when you are so sweet and loving, maybe a little too entusiat but in his eyes is just part of your cute personality, he understand if someone don't correspond your feeling but directly harshly rejecting you or even saying bad stuff about your personality and/or appearance is something that actually makes him mad, he finds everything about you lovely and he can't help but express his annoyance, however he focus more on comforting you and telling you that you have nothing wrong, that you are amazing the way you are! Accidentally expressing a little about his feelings and when he notice what he was saying is too late because you had heard it already, he is embarrassed and tries to explain himself, he mentally kicks himself but at least you seem to appreciate his words
Tumblr media
Wakana Gojo
Gojo has been almost all his life alone, not being good to socialize and because people can find his work kinda weird, so, even if he start being you friend after getting to be Marin's friend is still pretty suprising for him to have another person to call a friend
Gojo isn't the type to fall in love immediatly, maybe a little attraction but to fall in love it has to be after a little bit of time, and when he does he does it hard. Gojo notice his feelings almost imediatly but he tries to deny it, saying to himself that is just that he is excited for having a new friend or that you will never like him that way, as well he tries to hide it but isn't really good at doing it
Gojo can't help but get flustered and all blushy whenever you are being sweet and so cheerfuly with him (unfortunately for him is almost all the time), and even when he tries to stay calm he can't because everytime your smile is dedicated or because of him his heart skip a beat, and not just that but since you could be pretty touchy and affectionate his heart almost stops all the time
Once Gojo grows comfortable with you and if you ask kindly enough (or insist excitedly and/or with puppy eyes) he will tell you everything you want to know about the dolls he does or the cosplays he is working on, when he does he can talk so naturaly that may slip a little about his dream of taking care of the store when he grows (is just that he feels so comfortable that he can't stop himself from saying it), when he notice what he had say he tries to apologize and ask you to forget it but if you show support or even call his dream cute he is between the confusion and being flustered. He wants to reciprocate and support you with your dream but when you tell him that you wish to love and be loved, to get married, he is dumbfounded, he wasn't expecting something like this at all, but at the end he support you nonetheless
He will probably think on your dream later, he find it stranger but cute at the same time! even a little funny but in a good way, also Gojo is just so into his thoughts that the idea of being the one that makes reality your dream bump into his head soon or later, it take him a moment to fully process his own idea and become a flustered mess while trying to shakes the idea out of his head (he will be so nervous about it that it would take him a while to be able to look at you directly at the eyes again)
Gojo doesn't has the heart to ask you to stop whenever you rant about what you find attractive of the people you know, if you are complimenting someone he just stand there beside you, doing his best to smile but inside he feels bad, not jealous but insecure and that insecurity will bugg him later when he is alone and will make him think that you probably will never like him that way
When you do give him a compliment Gojo quickly gets flustered and ask you to please stop, it isn't a big deal or anything! if you don't stop he will just be more and more flustered (is almost a miracle that he doesn't pass out), this is something that makes him feel embarrassed but he likes a lot when you do compliment him, he knows your compliments are sincere so it kinda make him feel special and sometimes even boost his confidence
Gojo doesn't undestand how if you are so beautiful, inside and out, you have no lucky in love, in his eyes whoever catch your attention is a lucky person but it seems like your past experiences say the contrary, he hates seeing you so sad about all of this so, even if it makes him a flustered mess Gojo will try his best to cheer you up and tell you how beautiful you are on your eyes (trying to don't be too obvious with his feelings)
Tumblr media
Nier
Nier and Yonah are know through all the village and for his friendly and willingness to help everyone it isn't difficult to get to know him and be his friend (and he is more than happy to make new friends)
For Nier to fall in love is a little bit of a slowly process (contrary at just having a little crush) since first he wants to get to know the person, the love that he holds for you is selfless and innocent but Nier won't notice his own feelings for a long time (even so it could be pretty obvious his interest on you)
All the villagers know about Yonah but not everyone had saw her since she is almost all the time in bed for her sickness, but since you two are close is more likely Nier has no problem with you going to his house and visit her (and is even grateful for it), you are always so sweet and cheerful towards Yonah, not mentioning her sickness and always willing to play with her, seeing you two spend time together makes him fall in love more and more
Is know for everyone how caring he is with his sister and has no problem with express his determination to find a cure for Yonah's sickness, and just like he is always up to help anyone who need his helps, he want to help you if you ever need helps, so if you ever express that you have a dream he is already offering his help even without getting to heard what you wish for, and when you tell him that you wish to get married Nier is flustered and a little embarrassed but still wants to help you, although he doesn't how he will be able to help you with that (and he express it, along with how he will try to help you at the best of his habilities)
Nier is constantly influenced by your sweet personality, whenever you smile he can't help but smile too, and he doesn't get flustered unless someone point out this or when you are being too close or even affectionate with him
Nier is fascinated by how you always seem to find good things on everyone (even when you say that are qualities that make them attractive) and everytime you say it out loud he can't help but laugh amused before say something himself, either agreeing or even adding something to what you had say (he find it specially funny when you get to meet Weiss and Kaine). Nier isn't really someone who usually feels jealous, so he doesn't normally get insecure or jealous over it, only the times you seem a little too excited over someone, he feels a little uncomfortable and jealous, he tries to don't intervene but still tries to catch your attention back
Everytime you do give him compliments to him Nier becomes really flustered and with a nervous smile he tries to decline the compliments by saying that it isn't a big deal (specially if is about his strenght or how caring he is with Yonah)
As much as he likes seeing you and Yonah get along is probably that he ends up getting pretty embarrased thanks to her, when Yonah start to take a liking towards you she start to insist more on wanting to know you and she can't help but talk about Nier from time to time (is the person she loves the most in the world after all), so, even when it isn't her intention Yonah talk about what she love more of her brother, on how caring and stronge he is, and since you agree with her or even ask her more stories just make him more and more flustered and embarrassed (is probably that when Yonah start to like you too if she get to know about your dream she will ask you with all her innocence if you will like to marry his brother)
Nier doesn't understand how you can have so terrible lucky in love if you are such a lovely person! Whenever you feel bad for your past experiences he is quickly to comfort you, assuring that maybe you just haven't found the right person yet or that he thinks you are amazing the way you are, he focus on comforting you but if someone says something bad about you or directly offends you he will be more mad and will want to do something about it (maybe try to talk with Devola and Popola about it)
Tumblr media
Emil
Since in the mansion is just Emil and the butler he is more than happy to have the opportunity to meet someone new (a little nervous at first but that doesn't stop him from start a friendship with you), it doesn't matter if you stay with him in the mansion or just visit him once on a while he is more than happy to have you around
It would take a while for him to develop feelings towards you, he is not the type to fall in love immediatly, but when he does his feelings are pretty stronge and stubborn, also it won't take him long to notice his feelings for you and as much as he thinks that it would be safer if you stay away he can't stop himself from searching your company
Since Emil can't see you he just learn to identify your footsteps (even if you don't make much sound while walking he will know you are there) and he grows to love your voice, for him your voice is just as lovely and sweet as your personality (he may say it once but he would do it pretty shy)
Emil is a really good listener, he likes hearing you talk about anything really, it could be that one day he got curious or you are the one bringing up the topic about you having a dream (or asking him for his) and he immediatly shows interested on it, when you tell him that your dream is to get married Emil can't help but laugh at it, not because he is making fun of you but because he finds it really cute, something that totally matches your personality (he will get flustered when the feeling of wanting to be the one you marry bumps in his head)
Emil can't help but smile at your sweetness, is something that bright his days and he is totally grateful and happy to have you around. It even reached the point where just by hearing your footsteps coming he is already smiling softly
Emil is easily startled by you affectionate side, you being so carefree with getting close and even hugging him always surprised him and make him flustered (specially after his transformation, but in this case he is more hesitant to returning the hugs)
Emil can't understand how you being so amazing and beautiful have so bad lucky in love, having bad past experiences with people that had even complain about your appearance, anytime you remember or talk about those experiences he quickly comforts you saying otherwise, saying how amazing you are to him (a little flustered but don't really mind if he make a little obvious his feelings for you)
It troubled him a little anytime you start complimenting others (even if you don't tell them the compliments directly), it makes him a little insecure about his chances with you and yet he doesn't has the heart to stop you (he doesn't feel with the right to say you anything about it). And whenever you compliment him is the complete opposite reaction, he immediatly gets flustered and start stuttering while trying to say thanks and saying that there is no need, Emil is used to be called a monster or even a weapon so receiving such heartwarming compliments from the person he loves is a little too much for him
Also, if the compliments are about his powers, even just one, it will help him a lot to slowly grow more comfortable with them since he sees his powers as a curse that only brings destruction, you seeing something good on them comfort him a lot
When he get his transformation he was horrified by his new appearance, he didn't wanted to anyone to see him like this and even after Nier's acceptance and comfort he was scare of your reaction, if you react well or even imediatly accept him he is already on the verge of tears (if you even compliment his new appariace it would take him a while to believe and accept it but it make things easier for him)
After his transformation, now that he finally can look at you without putting you in danger he will take a moment to appreciate how beautiful you are before actually saying it, not really giving importance if he end up embarrassed for saying it

Aight, I can't resist it any longer: I have to request a part 3 for 2B, 9S & A2 with a human!reader.
So after returning from a mission, each android encounters the reader, who's holding a flowerpot in their hands, with a beautiful flower sprouting from it. The that they grew it themselves as a gift to thank them for spending time with them.
Once the androids accept the gift, they ask the reader what flower it is. The reader blushes slightly, before saying that it's a pink carnation, and they symbolize admiration.
Reader Giving Them a Flower
Fandom: Nier: Automata
Character(s): 2B, 9S, A2
Type of Request: Headcanons
Note(s): I feel like I need to just make this a oneshot series at this point (oneshots are the bane of my existence so please don't get your hopes up!)
Part 1 :: Part 2
Tumblr media
2B
She returned to Pascal's village where you've been staying for the time being due to the ship not being safe anymore. 2B just came back to deliver something to one of the robots when you approach her with a smile.
"Hello again," she'll greet you. She's found herself opening up more around you and enjoying your presence, without worrying about if her systems are messing up her emotions.
2B watches as you pull out the pink flower and takes it. You're explaining what it is, but her data bank has already filled her in. Her eyes widen a bit as she realizes what you're saying and she sees the flustered expression on your face. A tiny smile slips onto 2B's as she leans in to press a light kiss on your forehead. "Thank you." escapes her lips as she tucks the flower into her headband and walks off to return to her duties.
9S
He's brought you another thing that he's found and fixed up a bit. It's nothing too fascinating, but he hopes you like it and think it's pretty. 9S has tried studying your reactions to log what you like best, so he hopes that you really do enjoy this.
A bright smile crosses his face as he waves at you when he sees you. He goes up to you and presents his gift and his eyes widen as you got him a gift as well.
He takes the flower and examines it. 9S feels like he should ask you questions of where you found it and how, but the only thing on his mind is how cute you are when you're flustered.
A2
A2 sighs as she hears you calling her name in the Resistance Camp. She turns and gives a nod as you approach, which is a big improvement of when she'd used to try (and fail) to ignore you.
She sees you have a flower and she's a bit interested with how you found it. Her eyes widen slightly when you hand it over, explaining what it is. A2 takes it and treats it as if it's the most delicate thing she's held.
"Thanks," she'll say quietly and glance away, so you don't notice how her expression softens just a bit. But she can't help the way her processes speed up when she realizes how flustered you are. Mentally, she's going "crap" when she realizes how much you have grown on her.

omg it's me again carly-bae. coming to save you from nina's torment fr can i request a fluffy drabble of 9S being called out for staring longingly at the reader please 🤭
CAUGHT. 9S x gender-neutral reader. very short, so i am so sorry jinx.. ily <3
requests are: open! please look at the pinned post for characters i will write for. <3 let me know if you’d like to be in my tag list for whenever i post anything related to 9S under this post as well, or in my inbox!
HIII JINX!! I HOPE YOU LIKE THIS <3
Tumblr media
9S followed you with his gaze wherever you went, unable to look away. if his blindfold wasn’t on, you would most certainly be able to tell that he had such a longing look in his eyes. he himself barely even realized this, disregarding it as something unimportant.
after all, the only important thing here was you. you were amazing. always striking up conversation with him, not afraid to be nice. that’s what he found so intriguing about you. at least that’s what he had thought it was. intrigue.
however, he was snapped out of his own thoughts when he caught you smiling at him softly, a little twinkle in your eyes. “is there a reason you’ve been staring at me for the past few minutes, 9S?”
he froze. how utterly embarrassing.. he’d been caught by you. but he didn’t mind, especially because it was you.
that should’ve been the first sign of his feelings for you, but he barely recognized it, trying to come up with an excuse.
“i- it was nothing!” he sputtered out, looking away from you quickly. “..nothing at all.” but if you looked any closer, you’d notice a small smile making its way onto the android’s face.

Omg someone who writes for brother Nier! I'm so happy I could cry-
Would it be possible to ask for hurt/comfort (heaaavy on the comfort) headcanons for Nier where the reader is his soulmate and just really thinks that they don't deserve him? Maybe it's a modern au, yet they know how kind and caring he is from a distance (and has a massive crush on him) but freaks when he's their soulmate since they think he should have better.
Sorry if this was too much I got carried away and VERY excited lol. I love nier (the series and the man) very very much.
𝐂𝐎𝐌𝐅𝐎𝐑𝐓 𝐅𝐑𝐎𝐌 𝐒𝐎𝐔𝐋𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐄 𝐍𝐈𝐄𝐑

𝐍𝐀𝐕𝐈 || 𝐌.𝐋𝐈𝐒𝐓 || 𝐑𝐔𝐋𝐄𝐒
pairing : nier x gender-neutral reader
themes : slight angst, lots of fluff, brief reference to grimoire nier, kainé’s explicit language, modern / soulmate au.
ELLUKA’S NOTES : i’m sorry this took so long, nonnie!! T^T this kind of strayed from the original ask, but i hope you can forgive me! and please, share your excitement! i want to hear all about it!!!
SOULMATE NIER who is dumbfounded when you confide in him about your insecurities. He just stares for what feels like a billion years for both of you, letting the words process and dawn on him until his expression shifts into palpable disbelief. You think you’re undeserving? Of him? Did he hear that right? There’s no way he did. All this time he’s convinced himself that it’s the other way around—that you’re too good for him! Everything about you is so amazing and wonderful, so out of his league, that he can’t wrap his head around the truth at first. A part of him doesn’t believe it and it takes an embarrassing amount of time before what this means sinks in and he’s like, “Oh. OH.”
Kainé and Weiss, for as much as they bicker and nag at one another, look simultaneously relieved when he shares his realization. The former looks him in the eyes and calls him a dense fucking idiot for not thinking highly of himself or picking up on this sooner; though he doesn’t say it outright, the expression on his bookworm friends’ face (past the obvious disgust for her unnecessarily crude language) screams the same thing. Nier doesn’t know whether to laugh or be embarrassed and is still trying to figure it out.
SOULMATE NIER who listens to everything you confess to him as if you two are the only ones who exist. He’s not bad with his words, but he shines brightest through his actions. He squeezes your hand every now and again, and rubs a calloused thumb over your knuckles so very softly. He hums and bobs his head, but he doesn’t interrupt and takes in everything you say, even when his tongue wants to disagree and sing your praises. He’s happy to find somewhere private for you two to speak, to make time in his schedule because this is as important to him as you are. Never apologize for anything—for wasting his time, bothering him, dumping your problems onto him, none of that. He’s here because he wants to be and wants to help in whatever way he can, and that never changes.
SOULMATE NIER who introduces you to Yonah one day. To say that she’s thrilled to meet someone new doesn’t even come close to giving her excitement justice, and she’s close to vibrating in her bed when she’s told you’re his soulmate. It’s just like a fairytale! She makes you swear with the most adorable big, round puppy eyes you’ve ever seen to keep her big brother out of trouble. She cheerfully promises to make you her homemade stew, much to Nier’s increasing horror, and hopes you visit very soon. There’s so much to talk about, after all, and she wants to know everything about you. As much as he dreads how overcooked the venison is or the amount of salt that can’t be safe for human consumption, he can’t help but smile seeing his two favorite people getting along.
SOULMATE NIER who is always touching his soulmate mark. Whether it’s subconsciously or when he’s seeking comfort in times of distress, his hand always finds its way to it. If it’s a tattoo or something otherwise imbedded into his skin, he’s brushing a finger over it and mumbling the name or phrase written upon him. Even if the writing is messy or scribbles, it’s as though he can read it as effortlessly as his own penmanship. He wonders if you can feel it, feel the gentle and mindless caresses despite the distance between you two. Maybe it’s just him overthinking things, making something out of nothing, but sometimes a jolt passes up his body when phantom fingers brush and linger against the mark binding your souls together.
SOULMATE NIER who is always twirling his red string of fate around his fingers. That, too, is subconscious, but it’s become a means of self-comfort. Sometimes it’s a lot more grounding to have it be on the physical side, even if it’s invisible to all eyes but his own. No matter what the form your mark takes, no matter what shape it’s drawn out to be or what the scribble may say, it’s a constant reminder that there is someone out there meant for him as he is for them. And that person turns out to be you and there aren’t enough words to express how amazing that is. Whether he’s deserving is its own can of worm, but the sentiment is welcome.
SOULMATE NIER who’s nervous about starting something serious after stepping out of the honeymoon phase, about being overly physical and affectionate in public. When he says it’s not you, he means it. You’re his soulmate and the feelings he has are genuine, if not overwhelming at times. He has past experiences he’s still working on coping with and it’s not a light conversation by any means, but it’s one he eventually confides in you about. He hasn’t even told Yonah this, not that he would ever, but the words are difficult to spit out when he’s repressed them for so long.
SOULMATE NIER who just seems to know that something’s wrong without saying a word. It’s as though your hearts resonate as one and the longer your remain distressed, the more those feelings intensify within him as if they’re his own. Perhaps it has to do with your bond, or he simply knows you well enough to decipher the little inflections and hints towards things turning sour. He will weasel his way out of it to make sure you can take some time to yourself to focus and calm down, even if it means giving up subtlety and pleasantries. Nier who, even when separated by distance, sends a text checking in on you and offering to call if you need someone to listen after a strange, inexplicable churning in his gut.
SOULMATE NIER who sends you messages throughout the day at random and whenever he has the chance. I’m so proud of you. You’re enough. I love you. I don’t deserve you. Thank you for being mine. They’re a lot more smooth and confident than they are when he speaks. He stammers and flushes as if he’s a schoolboy all over again, and can’t look you in the eye when he says that unless he’s dead serious. Regardless, each word is the genuine article and he means each and every word that falls from his lips. Sometimes he has no reason for sending them other than by a whim, others because he knows you’re not doing well and hopes the reminder will lift your spirits.

don’t, if you value your life (one-sided nier x reader)
notes: i have had the idea of this fic in my head ever since i finished replicant like a year ago. of all the things i expected to write on my days off, this was absolutely not one of them, but at midnight a demon possessed my body and puked out the fic. though i think of it more of a writing exercise since anyone knows me knows that my typical genre of fic is completely on the other side of the spectrum of this. 
contains: angst (no happy ending), canon-typical violence, mentions of blood, suicide ideation, very minor stalking, character death, largely un-beta read, language (Kainé is present after all). 
wc: 3.9k words
if you read this and think i need to add a tag, please tell me.

Don't go into that village. 
Don't go near it. 
Don't, if you value your life. 
The words of your elders are etched into your brain— your mind. It's a mantra, a hymn, a warning. The village in question is a quiet place, nestled in verdant hills, built upon the ruins of the old world. They say it's peaceful there, pretty even, but the village houses a great and terrible monster. One that will kill on sight— without hesitation, without mercy. 
When you were younger, the curiosity, morbid and insatiable clawed at your heart. Maybe the elders were over exaggerating, maybe they were mistaken, maybe there was no monster at all. You thought about it sometimes, thought about tempting fate and visiting the forbidden village. Someone said that there's a library there and you'd love to see one, even just once. However, everyone who ignored the words of elders— who set off to see that village never, ever returned. 
That, in of itself, was enough to prove the monster was real. 
And so, you stayed away.
You didn't need to see a library, the view of the ocean near your home was beautiful enough to fill your heart and mind, leaving no room for thoughts of merciless, bloodthirsty monsters. For the most part, your existence has been quiet and peaceful.
At least it was, until the monster left its village. 
Until the monster came to the seaside town you called your home. 
Truth be told, it's not the first time the monster has appeared in your hometown, but its visits were well communicated— the sentries stationed outside the town quick to inform everyone to hide for the monster was on the way. Those visits were spent in the shadows hiding with bated breath— hoping and praying the monster would never notice. Your mother had hidden you well away, afraid that even laying eyes on the monster would condemn you to a fate far too sad. So you didn't know, you didn't know—
The screaming through the town is sudden and shrill, the sound running chills down your body. It is a siren biding you to run if you value your life. You and those around you act on instinct, running, scampering across the streets. Some run further into town, some toward the harbor, you run toward the lighthouse, abandoned since its caretaker died some years ago. You think it will be safest. The monster is said to be indiscriminate with its slaughtering, but also intelligent— surely, it won't come looking for murder in a place where no one is supposed to be. And if it does… you can choose to end it yourself rather than at the monster's bloody hands. 
You ascend the lighthouse, two steps at a time. The cacophony of carnage is muffled here— distant, but still ominous in the background. You quickly reach the top of the tower and the town is so saturated in the stench of death that not even the salty sea breeze that's filling your lungs can displace it. From here you can see it all, your peers running in all directions, scattering like petals in the wind. 
It is here, for the very first time, you see the monster. 
If not for the large, bloodied greatsword in his hands, you would think him more a man than a monster. You cannot make much of his features from atop the lighthouse, save for his hair, shimmering like a beautiful white pearl in the sunlight. A strange, morbid frustration tears at your stomach as you strain your eyes in efforts to get a better look at this monster. He rushes at a group, too slow, too unfortunate and looks to effortlessly cleave them, slicing their bodies into ribbons. 
You should be horrified. Disgusted. Afraid. 
Instead, you are transfixed. 
Your body is stock still as you bear witness to the monster's massacre. He is every bit as cruel as the elders said— there is no hesitation, no mercy in the swing of his sword as he fells your neighbors and friends one by one. You are lucky that you ran to such a secluded area, just as you figured, the monster of a man doesn't bother to come your way. You wonder if he thinks there is no carnage to be found in such an abandoned place. 
Do monsters even think?
You remain there, rooted to the spot until you see the monster, a bloodstained pearl, wander toward the town's entrance. Once he's gone, your legs finally give out from beneath you, the weight of it all hitting you like a tidal wave. Eventually, you crawl your way down the steps of the lighthouse and into the town proper to find any survivors.
After a few hours, everyone is rounded up. Only just a fourth of your small community remains. No one is without loss— friends, family, lovers are all victims to the monster's rampage. Your heart seizes in your chest when you realize your mother is among the lost. She had been home when the disaster came to pass, waiting for you to return from an errand she had sent you out for. Had she come looking for you when all hell broke loose? Was she searching for you when she drew her last breath? Was your unconfirmed safety what cost her her life? 
Despaired and disgusted, you retch. 
You should have run home instead of to the lighthouse. Because you didn't, your mother is dead. Or maybe, if you had gone back, you would have perished together, you holding your mother in a shielding embrace as the monster brings the sword down. Or, more morbidly, the monster taking your life before your mother's eyes before claiming her life as well. You don't know. You throw up again. 
The remaining shuffle to the beach, erecting crude graves of shells and stones there. One of the older members of the community recites a prayer, something reminiscent of the olden days before the ebbing tide washes the graves away. 
In the days after the slaughter, the community is especially quiet, mourning. You don't know what to do in the absence of your mother, most of your friends were among the deceased as well: you have no one left. Some of the few remaining turn to anger in their grief: marching off to the forbidden village to claim what all know to be suicide disguised as declarations of revenge. You think it's because they don't know what to do either. 
There is almost no one left in your small seaside town and the decision is made to find another community. You follow wordlessly, carrying nothing but your memories of your quiet and peaceful life because they are all that you have left. 
Fortunately, there is another community close to your seaside town, sequestered in a building large enough to home at least a dozen families. From the outside the building looks like a fancy mansion, but the interior creeps you out– it's too quiet, too eerie. To make matters worse, the community lives beneath the mansion, in what seems to be a mad scientist's lab. You almost feel like at any moment you're going to become an experiment. Some of the members of this new community seem like they already are one. 
The only good thing about your new home is that there is a library. Shelves and shelves of books line the wall. It is the only place in the mansion that has character, but there are rules that restrict visiting the library. You don't care. The rules don't matter much any more.
Nothing really matters much any more. 
It is in the library where you see the monster a second time. 
While perusing what appears to be some kind of fairy tale you hear footsteps in the hall and you instinctively scamper off into a hiding spot. You're not in the mood to be caught and lectured by the guards for breaking the rules tonight. The doors swing open and it's not the guards who walk in but the monster himself, accompanied by two— three others?
You watch from the shadows as the monster and his comrades move about the library. As he chats with them, you can't help but think of him as more of a man than a monster. He banters with… a floating book? How strange. How interesting. You'd love to see the contents of a talking book one day. 
It is much easier to make out the man's features in such close quarters. You think that he can't be much older than you. He's handsome, much more handsome than a monster has any right being. There's some odd urge to get a better look at his face pooling in your stomach. Your instinct is to act on it, to just get closer and look and look and—
Don't go near it.
Don't, if you value your life.
The old mantra holds you still like a spell, the warning coursing through your veins, keeping you taut. But still you keep watching the man, the monster. He laughs with what you have come to realize are his friends and you think he almost seems human. Is this really the same monster that wreaked havoc on your little town a few months ago?
The man and his friends soon leave the library, the talking book bickering with the man's lady friend about her choice in dress. When you are sure that they are gone and not coming back you emerge from your hiding place and settle yourself in with the fairy tale book you had been reading. Hours pass before you've read your fill and you make your way back to the cold, metal depths your community calls home. 
What you find upon arrival is not the low, but comforting chatter of your new friends and new neighbors, but dozens upon dozens of bloodstains— fresh and sticky. The stench of death is thick in the air, a sickening and stifling miasma. Before you can think, your feet are racing through the halls, screams reverberating against the walls as you search and search and search.
But you find no one. 
You are the only survivor. 
No one is left and you don't know what to do with yourself. There is a distant thought bidding you to return to the library, to drown yourself in books, in stories of another land, another time, another place where things matter and happy endings exist.
There is another thought, closer, louder and it is of the man. The handsome man. The terrible monster. Something in you desires to seek him out. Not for revenge, because you know that would be pointless, but merely because you want to get a better look at his face before you meet your inevitable end. 
You make it your goal— your reason to live. At this point, you're not even sure if you can call what you're doing living. You leave the mansion with this goal; it's all you have left. 
The journey to the forbidden village is not that long, it only takes a day on foot. But when you get to the edge you hesitate, unsure. 
What if the monster of a man isn't here?
You shake your head. Nonsense. This is his home. No other monsters have come to destroy it for he is surely the strongest one in all the land. He will definitely be here. 
Shuffling past what looks to be an abandoned camp, you make your way toward the village gates. Naturally, there are guards, but you manage to hop the fence, avoiding their attention. 
The village, despite being forbidden, is fairly peaceful. Quiet. It reminds you of your seaside home. You keep to the shadows as you steal past a row of merchants, watching as a few children play tag around a cobblestone fountain. 
Now that you're here, you realize you have no clue where to find the monster of a man. But there is one building, sitting atop a grassy hill above all the rest. You think it's a good idea to start there. 
You slink your way up the hill and you spot a few more children playing in the grass. To your surprise, a couple notice you. Surprising you further, they wave. Shyly, you wave back before bolting toward the tall building, not wanting to remain in the same spot lest the children go running to their parents. When you reach the top of the hill, you look back. The children are still playing and you breathe a sigh of relief before entering the building. 
It turns out that this is the famed library of the forbidden village. The feeling of joy, strange yet familiar, bubbles pleasantly in your stomach. You’re here to find the monster, but surely it’s fine if you take a detour. This library is much bigger than the one at the mansion— there are more books to bury yourself in, more stories to fill the void in your heart that’s been growing ever since you left your seaside town. You peruse the titles on the shelves and when you find one you don’t recognize you pull at it, freeing it from the shelf and watching as it falls to the ground, the smack echoing throughout the otherwise silent library. You freeze, fearful that someone will come running to find the source of the noise. When no one does, you scoop up the book and scamper off to a quiet, dark corner of the library to read. 
Part way through the story, the main doors of the library slam open, demanding your attention and you look up from the top of your book only to find the monster of a man. But it doesn’t look like he’s here to read, instead he briskly walks the length of the lobby. Your eyes remain glued to his form as he runs up the stairs and disappears onto the library’s second floor. The thought to follow him crosses your mind, but you remain still. He will have to come back down the stairs when he leaves— you will follow him then. You turn your attention back to the story, a little saddened that your attention is divided: it was just starting to get good. Maybe you’ll get a chance later to reread it, give it your full attention. 
Some time later, you hear footsteps again and quietly close your book. The man appears, descending the staircase, his handsome face marred by a scowl. Idly, you wonder what happened to make him upset like that, but ultimately, it doesn’t matter. You stare from your dark little corner, waiting for him to leave before you follow after him, sure to keep yourself out of sight, sure to keep yourself at a safe distance. 
Don't go near it.
Don't, if you value your life.
The monster heads toward a house, fenced in and half-dilapidated. Despite that, there’s something about the home that is warm, cozy. A stark difference from the terribly violent image of the monster that the elders painted for you. You watch, hidden in the shadow of a nearby building, as the monster tends to a flower bed next to his home, watering and weeding them before he heads inside. Through the window you see the glimmer of light, and once you’re sure he won’t suddenly come out and kill you where you stand, you draw closer to the house. 
Curious, you examine the flowers. You are not an expert on plants, but they look well cared for. It’s strange. Why would a monster so lovingly tend to plants? A monster by nature, by definition, is a creature of destruction, so why? You don’t understand. 
But you want to, against all instinct, against all odds, you want to.
You start to follow after the monster as he goes about his business, or more accurately, the business of others, running errands for them: delivering packages and messages, fishing, committing atrocities against your people. You’re always sure to stay a safe distance away— close enough to observe, yet far enough to not get wrapped up in the carnage. But sometimes, a reckless rush runs through your veins and you steal closer, listening in on his conversations with his comrades, his friends. You learn their names, their personalities and while they become more human in your eyes, their images are still blurry in your mind’s eye; you are not yet foolish enough to get close enough to get a good look at their faces. You are not yet foolish enough to delude yourself into thinking of them as friends. 
One evening, at the camp you hear the scantily clad woman— Kainé, very, very loudly announce that she is going ‘to go take a piss.’ The talking book— Weiss, complains loudly about her crudeness, disgusted, as he always is, with her choice of language. She scoffs, dismissing him with a wave before walking away. 
Walking toward you.
You scamper away, running toward a large, nearby bush and hiding within. She shouldn’t see you, or at least you hope she won’t. She approaches another bush and you look away, respecting her privacy as much as you can.
“Come out, I know you’re there.”
Her voice is a low growl, and you think she can’t possibly be talking to you. While your observations have led you to believe that there is a soft core to her brash outer exterior, there is little doubt in your mind that, much like the monster of a man, Kainé would slaughter you on sight. 
“Hurry up, I don’t have all fuckin’ night.” She stomps over to your bush, and you’re sure she can’t see you, but still she leans in and whispers, her voice both seductive and violent, “Or if you want, I can just end your miserable existence right damn here.”
Instinct takes over and you run out of the bush, away from her. 
“There you are, you little fucker,” she snorts. You back away slowly, as she straightens herself out. Kainé eyes you like a bug, one that she is about to crush beneath the heel of her shoe. You swallow thickly, unsure if you should try to run or not. The only thing you are sure of is that if you do run, you’re dead. 
“So, why’ve you been following us, huh?” Kainé demands, arms crossed over her chest, frowning. She must know that she could kill you in an instant, must know that you couldn’t lay a finger on her if you tried to attack her. “Don’t think I haven’t noticed a fucking shade like you lurking around us for weeks.”
Shade. That’s what they call you and your people. Shades— condemned to the shadows, unable to live peacefully with the humans, or, as the elders called them, the replicants… whatever that meant. You eye Kainé warily, wondering why she is asking you a question when it is known that humans can’t communicate with shades, can’t converse with them— if they could, then maybe the monster of a man would just be a man, his beautiful hands devoid of the blood of your friends, your neighbors… your mother. 
“Hey!” Kainé shouts. “I’m talking to you, the least you can do is answer.”
She’s right. Even if she can’t understand, she probably can hear the words from your Shade mouth. You take a deep breath and speak for what feels like the first time in an eternity. “...it’s because of… him.”
Your voice sounds so strange in your ears, a sound more foreign than silence itself. Kainé stares at you, scowling like she knows, like she can understand the Shade tongue with which you speak. It’s hard to tell, and you take one, two, three steps closer to look in her eyes, risking your life more and more with each forward step that you take. You’ve read that the eyes are the window to the soul, so maybe if you can see them clearly, you’ll be able to tell, to know, if she really, really understands.
Fortunately for you, Kainé doesn’t move, nor does she speak, but still you hear a voice— not hers, erupt in a manic fit of laughter from her body. Her scowl deepens, clearly annoyed, but it seems that it’s not directed at you. 
“How cute, the little shade has a crush!” the voice howls, mocking you.
Your face scrunches in bewilderment. The source of the voice… is Kainé herself, but she is clearly not speaking…  You shake your head. No, that’s not right. This isn’t a crush, this isn’t infatuation, it’s merely curiosity. “No… that’s not… that’s right. I’m just… I just…”
The laughter grows louder, more derisive, “Oh don’t fucking delude yourself. You’ve been stalking after us for how long? It’s frankly kinda gross if you ask me!”
Kainé mutters something under her breath that you can’t hear, presumably at the mysterious voice making a mockery of you. 
Your stomach churns violently, a grotesque concoction of fear and unease. He’s not wrong though. It is kind of gross how you’ve been following this group around like a pathetic puppy. Watching them at a distance, wanting to get closer, to satiate your curiosity, yet staying far away because that’s the only way you can coexist with the monster and his friends. 
You think of the monster, terrible and cruel in his extermination of your people, the Shades. You think of the man, gentle and kind as he tends to the flowers by his house. The images in your mind overlap. Terrible and gentle. Kind and cruel. The images blur. 
You can only see the smile he’s offered to his friends. 
It’s all you have left now, and you don’t know what to do with yourself.
You are not one of his friends, the image of his smile is something you’ve stolen, held in the shadows, kept like a treasure— a secret that should have never been yours.
In fact, it never was.
“Hey Kainé?” A third voice enters the fray and you feel as if you have been drenched in ice water, thrust into the icy depths of the ocean, your entire body freezing over. “You’ve been taking a while, Emil and I were—”
He stops short. You know it’s because he sees you. 
Don't go near it.
Don't, if you value your life.
Everything happens so fast, before you can run, before you can even blink. The spear that was affixed to his back is now in his hands, its tip embedded deep into your abdomen. The pain is mind shattering as it spreads throughout your body, like a wildfire in a forest. 
The monster is close, closer than he has ever been, than he ever will be, the view of his face clear, and unmarred by distance. He is devoid of expression as he draws even closer, plunging the spear impossibly deeper into your fracturing body. Rather than the pain, you focus what attention you have left on his face. 
It’s what you wanted, to get a better look at his face before meeting your inevitable end. 
But now that you’re here, you realize, regretfully, that you maybe want a little bit more. 
You want to live in another land, another time, another place, where you’re not just a Shade and you can have a happy ending. 
With what sense you have left, you focus on his eyes. They’re clear, and blue as the sky on a cloudless day. As your consciousness ebbs away, fading rapidly from existence, you distantly think that at least the last thing you get to see is breathtakingly beautiful. It would have been nice, if you had had longer to enjoy it.
You have nothing left.
You are nothing but a bloodstain on the monster’s spear.

Yonah Cooks Dinner
Nier Replicant
Nier x Reader
f/m
Tumblr media
Nier had invited you for dinner with him and Yonah at their place tonight, after things seemed to have finally started to calm down after defeating the Shadowlord and.... everything, really. You had been really looking forward to sitting down over a warm meal with them in peace... that is, until Yonah insisted on having you all try her new recipe..
AO3
Nier holds your gaze with a stern expression on his features.
“You know I’ll do anything for you, right?”
“What do you mea—“ your plate’s suddenly swiped from under you. 
Nier had invited you for dinner with him and Yonah at their place tonight, after things seemed to have finally started to calm down after defeating the Shadowlord and.... everything, really. You had been really looking forward to sitting down over a warm meal with them in peace... that is, until Yonah insisted on having you all try her new recipe.. 
“Sorry, y/n,” he raises his voice just enough to be heard over by the kitchen, “I’m really really hungry... and this is soooo good... so I’m going to have to eat your plate.. too....” Yonah breaks her attention from the boiling pot, and shoots Nier the most adorable glare you’ve ever seen. 
“Hey, you can’t take y/n’s food! That’s rude!” She grabs another plate from the cabinet and, to your horror, begins to scoop out more god-forsaken sludge onto the platter.. There’s a light nudge on your side. You look over as Nier gives you a simple nod and a quick jerk of his head towards the kitchen with a sense of urgency. Putting two and two together in the moment, you give a light cough. 
“O-oh that’s ok, Yonah. I’m uhhh...on a diet! Yes, on a diet, so Nier can have the rest of mine.” 
“Really? Aww, ok...” With a tear in your eye, you turn and do your best to communicate the uttermost gratitude to your savior with your eyes alone. He seems to read it and smiles. It would even have been lovely, were it not for his face growing greener by the minute as he desperately keeps the contents of your former plate in his mouth. Poor boy...
Despite the meal, you really enjoyed having dinner with them. Listening to Yonah as she enthusiastically told stories out of the books she read, getting a pat on the shoulder from Nier every now and then as he affirmed to you that he was feeling fine (which you doubted) after eating both his and your portions. It was a peaceful night, and you could tell the two of them needed something like this to feel some semblance of normalcy again, too, after everything they’ve been through. You wish you could have done more to be there for them—to have been there beside Yonah as she could do nothing but lay in bed to fight off the Scrawl, to have been there by Nier’s side as he had a deep darkness take hold in his heart after losing his only family.
For some reason, these thoughts began to plague you the more you sat with them tonight. The squeak of the chair beside you being pushed back interrupts your thoughts before they can go further. Looking up, you notice Nier slowly stand hunched over with his arms crossed over his stomach. 
This can’t be good.
“Hey guys, I think I’m gonna go take a—ack—“ he shoots up a hand to clamp his mouth shut. He swallows for a moment before finishing his thought, “...breather outside.”
“You okay?” Yonah stands up from her chair across us and gives Nier a look of concern.
“Y-yeah, I must’ve eaten too much.”
“Aw, you liked it that much?” She smiles with pride. 
God bless them..
“Of c-course, I liked it so much t-that—“ the man darts out the door so fast, none of you have time to even react. You let out an exasperated sigh.
“I’ll go check on him...” you end up standing from your chair. Feeling a bit of pity, you give the girl a smile on your way out.
“Thanks for dinner, Yonah.”
She smiles back, “No problem! It was really fun having you over, let’s do this again soon, okay?”
You give a final wave before darting after the victim of tonight’s supper. 
A wave of fresh air fans over you upon getting outside. You pause for a moment to breath it in, enjoying this moment of peace and quiet. It’s quickly interrupted by the sound of someone hurling in the distance.
“Nier?”
You run to the source of the noise beside the pond nearby. Supporting his weight with his hands on his knees, the white haired man doesn’t notice you approaching him. You inch closer, careful to keep distance from the splash zone.
“Are you okay?”
Stopping for a moment, he turns his head to you, giving you a full view of the scene before you. His face a few shades paler than his already pale skin, hair a disheveled mess, and he looked to have lost the hair band keeping it somewhat together along the way.
“Yeah...I’m g-good...” He looks terrible. “H-how about you..? Are you holding up alri—“ he turns back to where he started and continues emptying his stomach. 
Alright that’s it.
You briskly get behind him. As you pull out the extra ribbon from your pocket, you brush his hair aside and grab most of the misplaced white locks you can. You give the ribbon a few knots before judging that it seems tight enough to hold back the mess. You gently rub his back until the puking seems to ease. The both of you stay focused on the waves in the water as he waits for his stomach to completely settle.
After some time, he slowly stands up straight, wiping his mouth with the back of his hand. Keeping your hand on his back, you shift your weight to keep him from wobbling.
“Thanks, for helping me out.” He doesn’t break his eye contact from the water. “You didn’t have to come out here and find me, it’s kind of embarrassing to see me like this.”
“Why is it embarrassing?”
He sighs before turning to you. He makes a gesture around his face, knowing full well he means ‘because of this’.
“Well you’re the one who took an extra portion from me, if you hadn’t done that you wouldn’t be here..”
“I didn’t want you to get sick.”
Your irritation starts to grow, “So you get sick instead? No way.”
“What else was I supposed to do? Just sit there and let you suffer? And Yonah—”
“You didn’t have to eat my whole portion! You could have just eaten half or something!”
He stares at you dumbfounded. After a beat, he turns away from you, rubbing his neck shyly.
“Yeah...I could have done that, couldn’t I?” He mumbles under his breath. 
“I guess I got carried away,” he looks at you from the corner of his eye, “trying to save you the stomach ache,”
You pause before giggling, breaking out into a light laughter. He turns his head to you again with a frown.
“What’s so funny?”
“Your sweet.” A blush creeps on his face at the comment. “But you’re also stupid. Next time, just let me eat it. I can handle a stomach ache, but I don’t wanna have to hold your hair as you puke into the pond cause you tried to ‘save me the stomach ache’, yeah?”
He lets out a long sigh before giving you a shy smile.
“‘Yeah.”

lyres and gentle touches
Tumblr media
she’ll take the time she can have with them to relax when she can get it. unfortunately, a certain shade feels the need to voice his opinion ft. kainé
— THEMES: gender neutral reader, character spoilers, major explicit language, fluff. tyrann is very mean, but the reader is such a talented lyrist <3
— NOTE FROM THE GANG: the lyre the reader uses is inspired by the holy lyre der himmel from genshin impact.
Tumblr media
“Wow, sunshine...That sounds like shit!”
Kainé couldn’t stand sitting on her ass and twiddling her fingers when she could be off doing something with herself. Calling that something productive was up for debate when it was all she ever did, but good fuck did she need something to do to keep the itching beneath her skin at bay. She had her moments where she laid in her shack and stared up at the rusted ceiling, but the moment of repose was never that long for one reason or another. More often than not it was the taunts and snickers that echoed in her head like an empty corridor that she couldn’t get to stop no matter how many times she strained her voice in retaliation. He already got under her skin—hell, if there was any left under the bandages. Kainé hadn’t checked in awhile and didn’t plan on it—but her resistance only fueled his drive to continue until he got on her nerves completely. It would be impressive how someone could be so fucking annoying if he didn’t do it all the time. There were plenty of Shades out there that she could tear her twin swords through so there was always something to do that wasn’t listening to him. It’s what she spent her most recent years of life doing until it was a routine.
And then she surrounded herself with all of this lovey dovey bullshit that came with being somebody’s partner and Kainé wasn’t sure what to make of it. She didn’t know if she could get used to it either, and wondered if she ever could. The woman had never felt something like this before, sever felt deserving of it. The sensation of skin brushing against hers with a touch so gentle that it could make her shiver, fingers curling around one another’s in a secure squeeze to remind her I’m here for you, the companionship as a whole. It was all so new and bizarre that it caused all sorts of expletives to slip past her lips out of habit, but it never dissuaded them. Her partner. The sound of that was still weird to her in a strangely nice way that made something in her stomach (she didn’t know what and that pissed her off) flutter, as if her name and theirs inherently belonged together in the same sentence. In some kind of freaky sense, she settled down for them. By settled down you meant she spent more time outside of the village gates than normal waiting for you instead of piercing her blades through the closest Shade, then yeah, she sure as hell did.
Kainé hadn’t stayed off of her feet in awhile and hadn’t let her hand stray from the hilt of her blade in twice as long. Relaxing wasn’t on her agenda when a Shade or two could strike, or when Hook decided to show its ugly face before that fucker got a pole through the head. The last time she laid on her ass and let her eyes slip shut without a worry was...Kainé knew very well, but brushed any ounce of remembrance from her mind before she could let it haunt her, as it always did. She could let her shitty dreams handle that. It wasn’t like her feet were killing her or anything, but quality time like this was rare. Well, rarer than usual when she, her partner, Nier, and the book were running all over creation and taking down Shades that only grew stronger with plates of armor. Her partner was insistent that they joined along once Hook was gone, clutching their own weapon close to their chest with an adorable desperation that she almost couldn’t say no to. Nier didn’t mind despite his initial cautiousness for their well-being and Kainé knew damn-well how badass her partner was, but the floating magazine nagged on and on. About what, she had no clue. She let each too-fuckin’-fancy word go through one ear and out the other before she could tear a page out and shove it up Weiss’ ass.
Unless they strangled it out of her, Kainé wouldn’t admit that she loved the quality time. She knew perfectly well when the last time she was appreciated so much was, but it was a distant feeling that was so foreign that she didn’t recognize it immediately. If it was a tangible object, she’d fuck it up faster than she could blink. It was what she was good at: destroying things she didn’t like. Though if there was one fault, it was that she was restless as shit doing nothing with herself. Her blades sat beside her with a hand around one of them out of necessity and a slight paranoia that a Shade would pop up out of nowhere, but no far not a single one had shown their face. She trusted her partner’s combat abilities and self-defense skills, but goddamn was she not going to take any chances. Kainé’s eyes remained shut and left her in a soothing abyss until only a beam of light tried to pour through the skin of her eyelids and she was hyperaware of every touch and sound around her. Loose, relaxed, calm, not the tight squeeze she forced upon herself when she tried to get any semblance of sleep. Her partner’s fingers plucked along the strings of their instruments, creating an unrecognizable yet soothing tune she could have nodded off to. The same could be said for any other song they played, but there was something familiar about it despite knowing damn well she hadn’t heard it before.
And then the shithead spoke.
Kainé‘s lips twisted into a deep scowl. Not the first one and certainly not the last, and it felt naturally fitting on her lips like a puzzle piece. “You’re so fucking annoying, you know that?”
“Ooooh! That hurts, sunshine!” Tyrann taunted with a wicked laugh that made her blood boil. “And here I thought we were starting to get along.”
“Kiss my ass.”
“Kainé?”
The white-haired woman cracked one eye open and stared upwards at the dark and looming silhouette that blocked out the beams of light that once washed a  blanket of warmth over her face. The plucking of strings and the melody the harp sang so beautifully came to a standstill at some point and left them in a silence only disturbed by the rustling of leave and the distant calls of the wildlife grazing in the Northern Field. Their gazes met and had it not been for the frustration directed towards Tyrann, Kainé may have allowed herself to get lost in the alluring color that met a gentle blue hue. Their brows were drawn upwards, lips quirked downwards, with nothing but concerned confusion prominent all over their face with no attempt to restrain it. She hated when anyone looked at her like that, with something akin to pity, them especially. She knew they were only concerned, that they were looking out for her because if they weren’t then who else would? The insult to get them to stop looking at her like that bubbled up in the back of her throat like blood after a bad wound out of habit, but it never got any farther than the back of her tongue. Instead, she shifted onto her side with her back to them, her cheek pressed to their thighs and eyes giving the stone walls her attention. Kainé could still feel their eyes on her and she could vaguely see them from the corner of her eye between strands of white.
“Sorry,” she grumbled.
“Tyrann again?”
Kainé grunted at the sound of his name and her scowl deepened at the continued haunting laughter, but otherwise said nothing more to or about him. She caught onto a tiny thump that had her nerves on edge in seconds and her body tense, but a hand on her arm and a thumb rubbing against her skin in slow circles reluctantly eased her nerves. It moved up to her shoulder and settled itself on her head where their fingers combed through her hair, nails grazing her and nearly getting a shiver out of her in return. Although she said nothing about it, she quickly started to miss the sound of their song, the only thing that managed to get the fucker to be quiet when he didn’t purposefully raise his voice to overpower the soft yet shockingly powerful chords. Each caress was so gentle that Kainé wanted to lean away from it no matter how many times she had felt it before in what few moments they could have together by themselves that wasn’t interrupted by Shades or some other fucking annoyance. They cautiously ran their fingers past the Lunar Tear and were careful not to disturb the strands that made up her braid, but never sacrificed the comfort in their movements for their vigilance. The memory of their fingers getting tangled in her hair played in the back of her mind and she bit back her grin before her grin could rise to the surface.
“...Was it my song?” Kainé didn’t say anything, but the silence was an answer in itself. “What did he say?”
“You don’t wanna know.”
A beat of silence, then another, and Kainé knew she fucked up. With a slightly exaggerated groan and long exhale through her nose, she pushed herself up from the soft bed made up of their thighs and tossed herself down on her ass beside them, taking her twin swords with her and pierced them into the dirt by her legs. She reclined back against the stone that made up the slim passageway towards the open steel gates to the village they belonged to and ventured out of daily, and subtly leaned against them with her right arm pressed against theirs. They made a tiny surprised sound that she would have missed if she wasn’t so close but otherwise ignored as she settled in her new seat and brushed the specks of dirt off of herself. She scooped the discarded harp and forced it into one of her partner’s hands, yanking the other over the strings she had last seen them rest their fingers over. Like she had any idea how to play it, let alone any instrument, or the correct posture, but fuck it, it was a shot in the dark that apparently hit its mark because they didn’t adjust it much more than to get comfortable. Content with that, Kainé let her eyes flutter shut and surround herself in darkness once more. She leaned back against the earth until her braid dug into the back of her neck and crossed her arms under her bust.
“Your song is fine. He just has a shit taste in music.”
“Look who’s talking!”
All was silent for several seconds and Kainé started to convince herself that she fucked up twice in a row and was a total asshole in their eyes when she didn’t mean it this time, but paused at the melodic tune in her ears. This time it wasn’t the harp, she knew that much, and she peered through her lashes to the person beside her. Their shoulders bounced and a smile was spread across their face that revealed their teeth and created small wrinkles in the corners of their eyes. It was a sight that had her looking away before she could react, but she didn’t move from her new place. She glanced downwards when a small weight settled itself on her shoulder, only to find that they were resting their head on her. When they first met, Kainé would have pushed them off of her and let them hit the dirt with the world’s nastiest scowl imaginable and several strings of curses that would make Weiss and his high and mighty ass actually blush. But now, she just sat still as if the touch still wasn’t unfamiliar to her and slowly rested her cheek over theirs, lulled into an air of serenity as they plucked at the strings and continued their song. Tyrann continued to bitch—when didn’t he?—but she kept her mouth shut this time and simply listened to the tune.
“Thanks, Kainé.”

9S & 2B being in a poly relationship with a human
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
pairing: 9S x gn!reader x 9S
tags: poly relationship, light angst, mostly fluff, canon divergent
Tumblr media
2B and 9S are deadly protective of you! 
not only are you the last human known to exist, but you're also their beloved partner and so much weaker than any android and machine out there
the three of you are always together, because both of your android partners want to make sure you are safe
they trust each other to keep you safe, yet they still can't help but worry that something might go terribly wrong when they aren't there to protect you
9S and 2B are also dating each other, yet still get a bit jealous of each other when it comes to you
after all, 2B knows that there are things in a relationship that only 9S can offer you, like cheering you up with his energetic personality whenever you're sad
meanwhile 9S knows that he can't do everything that 2B can do, like protect you in battle and he worries that he's lacking too much for him to be your favorite
but you don't have any favorites between the two of them! 
you love both of your partners and they both offer things the other one doesn't have, which is why they work so well together! 
9S loves to hear you talk about humanity and how things used to be before the war, though often asking more about small things he doesn't understand
there was one time you came across an abandoned playground and you had to explain what a swing was to 9S, who couldn't understand how humans used something this inefficient, that only moved in such a limited space
9S loves to learn everything about humanity though and he tends to drown you in questions, until 2B steps in and tells him to slow down with all of the questions
2B is the more serious one out of the two and while you tend to have more fun with 9S, you can relax more with 2B and have meaningful conversations with her
2B often comforts you whenever you miss humanity and lends you a shoulder to cry on if you need to
9S on the other hand attempts to distract you as a way of cheering you up, by bringing you small gifts that might help lift your mood
but only 2B has enough courage out of the two of them to ask you uncomfortable questions about humanity and your past
for example, if you'd return to your normal life if you were given the chance and if you'd leave them behind…
though no matter how often that question comes up, your answer is always the same; you wouldn't leave those two for anything in the world!

Secretly dating
Tumblr media
[ HEADCANONS ] [ Tarzan, Eugene, Nier ]
[ Tarzan ] [ Tangled ] [ NieR Replicant ]
Tumblr media
Wuuuuu I like your idea, I start to think that this is one of your favorites prompts since I had saw you write it often
Anyways, thanks a lot for requesting it!! I had a lot of fun while writing, since I saw the request I been quite excited to write it!
Besides, i love Nier!!!
Tumblr media
Tarzan
For Tarzan everything he does with you is a new and learning experience, he is a quick learner so it won't take him much time before learning about the whole thing that is dating (if you guide him he mostly just follow what you tell him, besides with the gorilas he learned about mating so even if it isn't the same he isn't completely cluelest)
Tarzan doesn't feel shy nor ashame of his feeling for you, it would take him a while to fully understand his feeling (or express them to you, he does tries to be sweet while doing it, he does know a little about courting), however, as much as he doesn't have any problem with being open with his love he understand that it may not be the best idea to tell his friends and family about it
Kerchak doesn't trust the other humans, and he barely accept him in the herd, Tarzan fears a little how he would react knowing that he not just went against his orders by approaching them but also start dating one, so he chose not to say anything for now
Tarzan finds himself stuck between wanting to be with you, wanting to learn more from you and even show you his own world, and wanting to be with his family and protect both sides, it could be a little difficult for him to find an balance between the two parts but at the end of the day he manage to make it work
If you are interested on him and his family he will be hesitant to even talk about the topic, for his wish to protect you he just keep the problem to himself until he manage to order his thoughts and explain the situation to you (he needs some time to talk to you about it because he wants to be able to make you smile, and bringing this troubles to you will probably upset you, or even worst, make you feel guilt)
This situation probably won't last much time, or at least he won't hide it for a long time, the first days he can easily come up with an excuse but soon he will have to explain it at least to his friend, Terk and Tantor, and his mother, they know him too well to don't know that he has something in his hands, it can be a difficult for them to understand and accept it (specially for his mother) but at the end they will be really supportive over it (as long as you don't wish harm to him or anyone else from the pack or try to take him away from them), Terk and Tantor will even try to help him cover up and come up with excuses to all the time he's away from the herd or inform him if anything happens in home
He doesn't talk about it much but Tarzan is well aware that he can't keep it as a secret forever and has to think a plan quick, there is the risk of you having to return home, his family finding out or even his family having to go further in the jungle, searching for a safer place to be in. He tries to came out with a plan himself, not wanting to bother you with it
Tumblr media
Flynn Rider
Flyn has a lot of reasons to why he should keep your relationship as a secret, he is a thief, he is searched by the authorities and has to constantly sneak, hide and run away, and not just that be he has some enemies, criminals too, since he had betrayed some people a few times, and last but most important reason he cares about you and a lot, he can't help but want to keep you away from his criminal life, even if you were a thief or something of those lines he still want to protect you
Flyn will not admit it out loud but he is scare of the posibility of something bad happening to you, you are too important for him, it upsets him and makes him anxious when you are in distress or even hurt (if something happens to you because of what he does he won't be able to live with himself)
If you two are in a serious relasionship is because he trust you a lot, he will only allow himself to be in a relationship when he is sure that he loves you, that he can trust you and that he actually want to spent his life with you, it took a long time but he let himself be more open and sincere in the relationship (soon or later he will even tell you his real name), his relationship with you is almost the only thing sincere and genuine in his life and that is why he wants to keep it safe
Besides, not all is bad, he does want to keep hidden from the world his love out of security but it actually doesn't take long before he start to like this kind of dinamic, the idea of having to be hidden, giving you quick kisses and hugs to show you that he love you but having to be quick so no one see you two, having to be sneaky but flirty (he just can't stop being teasingly and flirty whenever he has the opportunity, specially if you are more shy or easy to flustered), or even just having to make plans for dates in places that are far from the crowds, somewhere is just the two of you, he end up loving all of that and even have a lot of fun while doing it
But just as he start enjoying being sneaky he start to crave more and more your company, as time pass the desire to have a more open relationship with you grows more and more, at some point he start thinking on having a change, thinking that having a peaceful life without all this problems, having a life where he can be with you without having to worry about you getting hurt or having to run away in any moment will be actually good (but he doesn't really say it out loud), he wonder if he will enjoy having that kind of life too, but is more likely that he already knows the answer (although, he is an ambitious man, he also wants to have quite a lot of things because he doesn't want to have to worry or limit non of you in what he can offer)
Tumblr media
Nier
First of all, it wasn't even Nier's intention to keep your relationship as a secret, is just that he was soo busy and anxious that he forgot to tell others. Also, at first it took a while for him to accept and get used to be in a relationship, losing Yonah and Kaine was too much for him and he was just scare to drag you into the danger, but at the end he couldn't deny how happy you make him so at the end you start dating (is also to Weiss' insistance, saying that he shouldn't punish himself, that everything in his life doesn't have to be lost and sadness)
Nier isn't the most affectionate in public just because he is more focused on his work, on searching the Shadowlord and fighting the shades, he keeps the display of affection when is just you two (normally Weiss leave you alone to give you space, but is always with the excuse of not wanting to see you two all lovey dovey), where he can relax and feel like everything will be alright because is just the two of you
As well, if you two travel together that lead you two to have more time together and Nier has no problem with giving you little kisses or holding your hand, although he does it when he knows there is no threating around (he is too scare of losing you too)
Despite not being so affectionate in public is kinda obvious that there is something between you two, whenever you two are together you are always really close, sometimes even Nier has his hand on you (back, shoulder, arm, depending in how he feels), and even if you were affectionate it won't be so strange because even before dating Nier used to accept the affection without much troubles, but what make it even more obvious is the look of pure adoration and love he has whenever you are having time for yourselfs. But at the end, if non of you say something about it, it will stay still in doubt if you two are already together or not
Besides, traveling with you two it feels like a big family, even before you two were dating, so that fact make it even more unsure but at the same time obvious
Since it is still unsure if you two are together or not is more probably that Devola and Popola will try to set the two of you together, they love both of you and despite everything they cherish for your happiness, they try to don't be so direct while helping you two get together or while giving Nier some advice to what to do (for what he probably won't think much of it or take it as just a little advice about dating, in any case he just thank them)
Nier just asumes that the others (or at least the people he cares about) knows about your relationship if they don't ask, so is just up to you to clarify it or until they end up finding out (although, if they ask Nier, he won't even hesitant in confirming your relationship)

9ꜱ, 2ʙ, ᴀ2, ᴀᴅᴀᴍ, & ᴇᴠᴇ ʀᴇᴀᴄᴛ ᴛᴏ ᴀ ʜᴜᴍᴀɴ ꜰᴛᴍ ʀᴇᴀᴅᴇʀ
so! self indulgent. way self indulgent. getting this outta my head before it drives me CRAZY!!!! i know mk is like my hyperfixation rn but, i really love love love drakengard and nier. and Nier: Automata was the first game I played of the series. OBVIOUSLY this is beyond canon divergent, but i was thinking... (aside from 2b and a2) these guys probably know transgenderism and stuff but like... how would they react when PRESENTED with that yknow yknow... ANYWAYS PLAY NIER AUTOMATA (AND REPLICANT), REAL GOOD GAMES
cw: sfw, fluff, implied romantic feelings (no relationship), SPOILERS, so so so beyond canon divergent, male reader, afab, not proofread.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
9S
Nines is curious by nature. He's studied on humans and the human condition. Almost terrifyingly so. He's actually so so so interested in the fact that your trans. Not in a creepy way. Androids have no need to identify, really. And when they wish to be perceived differently, it's quite literally as simple as the switch of a button.
So, to not only be housing a human at the bunker, but one as interesting as you... boy, you are in for so many questions. So. Goddamn. Many. He's curious about your body- but don't take it in a perverted sense. Simply, what do the hormones do? How does your body balance it out? It's all sooooo sooooooo interesting.
He'll even ask if you could lift your shirt for him. He's so unaware of boundaries and proper etiquette, it hurts. But he simply wants to see the scars. Why? Dunno. It'll satisfy his curiosity. Maybe a little more! Nines just wants to know you more intimately. Yes, he knows allll about humans. But he doesn't know about you. He cannot hide it.
Tumblr media
2B
2B keeps her distance about the topic. Out of respect, but also, she still prioritizes her mission over you. Unfortunately. Though, at the very edge of her mind, she has all sorts of questions. Mainly about how society would've treated you. Perhaps you are not of those times, but she is deeply aware of the prejudice of the past civilizations.
But, some days, she lurks by your room, too afraid to wander in. She is afraid of her own curiosity. You do not get to see her much, seeing as it is forbidden to bring you down to earths surface, in fear of losing the last human to exist. You are too precious. To her, yes. But to YoRHa, as well. She will not admit those feelings, however.
She does find her courage somewhere, simply asking how it feels. An odd question, from an Android as straightforward as her. But nonetheless, you indulge in her curiosity. And if you were to ask why she's asking? She'll brush it off. It is important to the mission. You are important to the mission. It is important that she understands.
Tumblr media
A2
A2 does not care much for humanity. She shows barely any interest in you, even if the rumors of you spread like wildfire amongst the resistance and the machine network. She's lost her purpose, there's not much to care about, aside from her well-being. So why would she care for an interesting anomaly like you?
Why, she asks, when she finds herself seeking you out at the resistance camp. Locked away in a make-shift room while waiting for transport to the bunker. This is her last chance, she knows. She also knows it is dangerous, but she figures it'll be worth it. The last human remaining, something she had thought was long dead. A lie. That's really what she thought you were.
Yet, A2 is surprised to see that you are very very real, and the honest truth. It does not reignite her flame for her mission, but something within her swells. She simply stares at you, almost expectantly. She does not say a word. You can just barley see an ounce of curiosity and excitement behind that flat expression. And when you open your mouth to speak, she walks out of the room, and away. That is the last you saw of her.
Tumblr media
Adam
Adam knows almost as much as Nines does. Maybe even more. He caught wind of your existence when one of the stubbies near SCREAMED across the network. He was quick to pick you up before the Androids did. He even created you a nice little room within the copied city. Something like home, no doubt. Or at least, a resemblance of it. He stays every present, not once does he leave you alone. He even stations a Biped by you that he can tap into.
He peppers you with questions on the daily, yet still keeps a maximum of thirty. He's logging your existence. He's actually worshipping it, really. Some sort of pseudo-god in a wasteland. He's so very respectful about his questions and knows when to lay-off, as much as his mind burns with questions.
At the end of the day, though, Adam's practically on his knees, begging to see just how your body has held up. He wants to see what testosterones done, he wants to see this marvelous thing called "top surgery", he wants to see it all. ONLY if you allow him too, of course. Regardless, you are stuck with him and his brother until his inevitable demise.
Tumblr media
Eve
Eve was actually the first to find you once that stubby alerted the machine network of a human. Yet, before he could even touch you, his brother had whisked you away to the copied city. Only there did you get to meet Eve in full. He is a lot less contained than his brother, most days he spent leaning over your (uncomfy) bedside, asking you all sorts of questions. About how it feels to be human, what hurts more (like if he threw a block at you or a machine at you!), he is less so interested in your identity.
But when he connects the dots, oh boy. More questions. More and more as the days go by. When his brother isn't there, he's asking alllll about your anatomy. Why can't you switch it so easily like he could? Wait, that's a silly question, he knows the answer. Did you know in old civilizations you we-
Adam shuts Eve up real quick before his questions can border insulting. He means you no harm, and actually he feels kind of hurt if he insults you! He's just so damn curious and he has to know allll about you. For now, you are the second most important thing in his new life, something he would willingly go to this thing called hell- you know that place, right?- for you. And back!

May I ask for some Headcanons for a Human reader who awkwardly asks out 2B and A2 after a few years of meeting and getting to know them please?
Reader Awkwardly Asking Them Out
Fandom: Nier: Automata
Character(s): 2B, A2
Type of Request: Headcanons
Note(s): Here you go!!
Tumblr media
2B
She has found herself enjoying your presence over the years as her friend but when you finally ask her out, it causes her to pause. While she has grown to enjoy your presence, she also has her mission to protect humanity and she's a bit afraid that being romantically involved with one could interfere.
2B can convince herself that dating you would help with protecting you as well, but there is a bit of mixed feelings with is she with you because she also has developed feelings (something that still feels odd to comprehend as she's a machine) or is she with you because it's her duty to protect.
It would involve a lot of communication and her trying but she's known you for a while and has developed that friendship first before this romantic relationship. She'll soften more to the idea and the thought of being with you, but it'll take some time for her to adjust.
A2
Things are almost always awkward with A2 due to her whole history when it comes to humans. You're... kind of an exception? She doesn't blame you for how she turned out and the lies she has been fed since being built anyway.
You asking her out causes her to be surprised and also very conflicted. She has had time to get to know you and you have seen her vulnerabilities slip through time-to-time, but she doesn't quite know what to think.
Might ask that you give her some time. She's not saying "no" immediately, but she needs to actually think about this because a romantic relationship has been the last thing on her mind with everything that has happened.

2B and hugs! ☆
↳ A/n: I haven't written anything in a while, so have these 2B hcs to warm up
Tumblr media
➸ 2B gives reserved and awkward, yet affectionate hugs.
➸ Hugging 2B is actually really nice, just not at first. It’s no secret that she doesn’t really do attachment [or, it would be more accurate to say she likes to thinks she doesn’t], and while there’s a lot of reasons for that and ways it manifests one of the main ways it shows is through not knowing how to either give or receive affection. There’ll be a lot of moments early on in your relationship where she goes in to hug you or kiss and just suddenly stops and stiffly falls back into place. It’s as endearing as it is painful to watch.
➸ So a majority of hugs will have to be initiated by you at first, just make sure to ask before you go in for one!
➸ These hugs are mainly from you. 2B just kind of stands there, arms floating around you because she doesn’t really know where to put her hands. Or where to look either, for that matter. Her love for you is giddy and shy, almost like a teenager with a crush, so having you so close has her gears whirling and mind blanking.
➸ Side note when you’re pressed against her chest you can actually hear her inner mechanisms working. It's kind of fascinating that they react to you.
➸ As 2B grows more used to affection, and more comfortable with it, hugs get more frequent. They’re not her favourite show of affection, that would be hand holding, but they’re still nice. Hugs get sweet, and though they always remain a tad awkward they’re a lot more comfortable. Still a private affair, though. Public hugs have her flustered and pushing you away.
➸ 2Bs’ the type to sway when she hugs you, and if you’re shorter than her she rests her cheek on your head. Talks sometimes, about her day and whatnot, but mainly she’s quiet. The type to just soak it in, you know?
➸ If you breath in, 2B doesn’t have a particularly strong smell. There’s a slight metallic scent, mixed with something floral, but it’s faint. Hard to pick up but once you do you never don’t notice it.
➸ There are also a fair bit of protective hugs with her too. There is a tightness to them, a security in her embrace. Arms tight around your torso, one hand firmly on your back and the other on your shoulder. These types of hugs are kept for when she hasn’t seen you for a while or you’ve almost gotten hurt, a silent promise between you two that she will always return and protect you.
➸ 2B has never gotten fully used to having to kill her own kin, the detachment is never the stronger than her care. And even though you're human and she's basically your bodyguard there is a constant fear that she'll have to kill you one day, too. Hugs help ground her, and remind her that if that day comes she has to make the most of what she has.

I keep thinking of a stories
of nier that could be applied to bots/humans.
The first one is a poor human who was abandoned in a factory because of war and saw his father leaving to protect him. The human wanders alone until a machine (bot) in this case finds him, the human ignores the machine and even insults it. The machine does not understand why it is so hostile, but does not notice that it is a threat... in part it feels more sorry for him, the human has become accustomed to having this robot as a shadow and they end up talking more until the machine swears to protect him (whether it is platonic or beyond depends on each one).
Just thinking about this procedure makes me want to write it.
