Hey idk if you take writing requests so if not. dont read this and have a nice day :)

But however if you do-

I been dieing for a reader x josiah from overtime. I was wanting somthing on the more wholesome side. As a simp I played that game solely for him and ended up hitting the wall running to fast to his desk. So I'm asking for something like that where the reader is like ya know always happy to see him. Maybe even buys him monsters often, watches him play his game and quietly cheers for him. Ya know like a little wife who just wants him happy. (And obviously that he kills ofc)

(And unless you keep it gender neutral, can the reader be a short fem? I'm 5'1 and would tremble under his look lmao)

and take ya time if ya make it and get good rest :)

Overtime Headcanons | Josiah X Short GN! Reader

M sorry op, once again I have fumbled with my ask box but yes here you go bc I love all of you overtime lovers <3

In the form of Hcs unfortunately, I just pulled a whole fic earlier and I needa break. Also I’m writing this as pre extension demo, where Josiah works as an IT alongside you (mc).

Josiah is always delighted to see you whenever you turn from the corner straight to his desk. Sometimes you clumsily run too fast and hit the walls that surround his desk, which leads you to double down in pain once you smack your entire body into it. He always makes sure to crouch besides you and rub your back, making fun of you while doing it but also making sure you’re okay.

He always pulls a chair out for you to sit next him whenever you have time. It’ll be much more comfortable than his, most likely snagged from your manager. He makes sure it has extendable options for height.

When you sit with him, he always leaves options open on what to do without ever saying them. He waits for your lead.

Sometimes you talk, mundane things like that. Or maybe deeper conversations that make you both think. If you were feeling bold, talks about romantic stuff like dates would make him feel flustered. Not in a bad way of course, he truly wants to do a lot with you.

Maybe you’ve gone out together once or twice before becoming an item, but this is different.

If you choose to watch him play games, he happily agrees. He’ll boot up his computer and start up CS:GO while you sit patiently.

When he starts matching, he’ll give you a lil glance and smile.

You watch intensely, looking at everything he’s doing.

He’s really good, you notice. Probably the best in the game honestly.

Every kill he gets, you mutter a “Ooh! Nice!” Which boosts his ego, especially if it was a tricky kill. You might even throw a few more words in to show how much you really pay attention and it makes him smile a little.

When he gets killed though, your quick to comfort him or come to his defense.

If you feel spiteful, you’re going to be quick with calling it an unfair kill. They camped? SMH, they should have been a good sport and played fairly (biased because if Josiah camped you wouldn’t bat an eye).

If Josiah doesn’t make a comment after his character gets killed you’ll fill in the silence.

If you feel chill, you’re quick to comfort him in a softer way. Not in a “You’ll get it next time” way, you already know he’ll go after his killer the moment he respawns.

“Cmon! You got this! He’s at that corner right there!” If you turn into his callout partner, he’ll be immensely happy. Usually he gets distracted when other people disturb him but when it comes to you and your voice, it becomes a guide for him.

He reacts fast regardless, but appreciates your efforts. Every time you tell him there’s a person at the window, near the courtyard, etc, he downs them immediately. Even if you don’t finish your sentences he’ll give you a high five for the teamwork.

He’ll also pat you on the head since your head is most likely chest level for him. How well you both did will show when he’s done ruffling up your hair.

Side thought that might be ooc, but I dare you to poke him when he’s gaming. He might think it’s an accident at first but when you keep doing it he knows it’s to throw him off. His sides are the weakest.

When you poke his waist it does a C curve and you laugh at that. If he dies he will most certainly poke you back in the same spot or any other known sensitive spots tenfold. Don’t mention this to him, but you know entirely that he’s pouting.

If you keep adjusting the chair in order to avoid him while he’s trying to poke you, he’ll set the chair down with both of his hands at the handles to keep you in place. This is your chance to poke him again but at both sides. Or this could be your chance to rizz him up and seduce him out from poking you everywhere.

Good luck soldier, just letting you know that he won’t stop until you’re crying and begging for mercy, which you’ll most likely do if there are other people around. (A/n: help I just realized this sounds suggestive, I assure you it’s all fun and games 😭)

Monsters are his go to. Always. How his digestives aren’t failing is a story for another day.

You always make sure to buy monsters whenever you have time in the morning. There’s almost always a quick trip to the mart just to get them everyday. When you round up the corner with a monster and smile, Josiah always makes sure to return the sentiment as soon as he can.

You’ll get a monster for his morning schedule, afternoon schedule, so on and so forth. Maybe you’ll even take a sip from his can to celebrate whenever he wins a game.

Now for general, many of your co-workers have to look from the side or tip toe and peek over the walls just to see if you’re there. Josiah on the other hand will make crude paper airplanes and send them over your walls. If you ignore his first initial airplane, he’ll make another one and aim for the center just so it can hit you. If you ignore that one as well, he’ll keep making them and wait until you finally come over to him and talk to him. (He will especially do this if you’re mad at him).

When you go to the archives to retrieve something, he always has to accompany you. Even with a ladder, you can’t reach most sections. Josiah, in his petty ways, would use his powers to hide or get rid of the ladder just so you can ask him for help. “Whom, moi?” He would innocently ask.

When you get confused on something during work, you can always ask him. He’s an expert after all.

He’ll explain to you what you need to know with total patience. With his chin resting on your head of course. His body will completely envelop yours while he’s explaining btw.

Show any visible awkwardness and it’s over. (Endless teasing and just to egg you into to saying something to him, he will get even closer).

Remember that Josiah is not a man of organized words. Teasing is his love language but, yeah. That’s all he’s confident in.

When he’s slightly annoyed with you (or jealous) he will stand over you, casting a long shadow and blocking your path. His face is definitely menacing. However you can just laugh with love at his attempt and he’ll laugh with you too, not taking anything he did before seriously.

Sometimes when you work overtime in the dark, he’s either your personal protector or personal devil. Just rest assured that he will never go home without you.

There isn’t a lot to go on about his actual person, but just letting you all know that I write him slightly influenced from Benrey from half life.

Sorry if this seemed short or not what you expected, I hope this will make up for not replying to this sooner !!

Overtime - Diner Date at 7pm | Josiah X GN! Reader

Haha remember when I had this idea months ago and never touched it again? Well I finally gathered enough motivation to finish this. Here’s to the people who waited and never got this. (A/n: reader doesn’t drive. Sorry I don’t drive.)

Sorry for the typo and grammar mistakes. (Proofread a couple times but if things don’t make sense I didn’t do it enough.)

TW/cw: Slight mention of puke and rudeness

It was darkening outside when you had walked out of the building. With winter days shortening, the sky darkened much more quicker than before which left you to work with crumbs of sunlight everyday. This side effect led you to change every bit of your schedule top to bottom to make it work out for you since life as an adult was taxing. But you weren’t here to complain about time. Josiah, your coworker… invited you out for a nice time at a diner place. You’ve already arrived at the location but he wasn’t here yet. You assumed since he invited you out and went ahead first he’d be here already, but when you walked towards the door and entered the diner you couldn’t find his signature hat anywhere. You saw a couple of people, some who looked like they were beginning to leave and some who looked like they just started their night. Instead of leaving and calling him to see what was up, you sat down at a table for two and shot him a text letting him know you were already at the diner.

It had only been a few minutes since that text and just as you were getting bored a ding was heard from the door. You turned your head around and saw Josiah, letting out a sigh of relief that he made it to the diner. He quickly saw you and made his way towards your table, setting down his phone and wallet when he reached it. “Hey, sorry for making you wait. I forgot something at the building and made a quick run back. Shoulda told you first.” He said while rubbing his neck. You looked at him up and down observantly. He looked rugged, a bit sweaty and out of breath, evidenced that he did run for awhile. “Don’t worry about it, I just arrived here recently too.” You said to him. “Though… I should have ran into you when you came back to the building. I don’t think I was that far from it when you remembered, the diner is only a couple blocks away. Did you take another path?“ you added.

He chuckled and quickly replied “Nah, you probably didn’t see me.” Josiah relaxed and slouched his face against his palm. “Didn’t you say you had bad eyesight? Coulda mistaken me as some other dude.” He said to you while snickering. A smirk appeared on your face “Oh yeah? That makes you just as bad as me then.” He raised an eyebrow. “You could of came up to me and let me know you were gonna go back.” You continued. “Maaaybe I was just too busy to get my stuff back, duh.” He teased. You rolled your eyes until it reached the back your head. “Whatever man! We’re here now, let’s order.” You exasperated. You grabbed the menu that was set on your table earlier and began looking through the lists. Josiah followed after you. Burgers, eggs, deserts, to your surprise they even served late breakfast here. “Hey, look!” Josiah poked. You looked up and saw he was pointing to a listed number that read ‘Pet food servings’. You snorted and quickly covered your mouth to stop yourself from laughing. Hiccups and giggles escaped from you anyways.

Your memories began replaying what happened earlier today. Your other co worker Derek, had eaten dog food. You knew because you saw it firsthand yourself. Oh so gullible Derek… you felt real bad when you pointed it out to him. You explicitly remembered when his eyes bulged out from his face, you didn’t know whether to laugh or cringe in that moment. You told this story to Josiah and he couldn’t stop making fun of him while making you laugh at his stupid jokes. You really didn’t want to laugh at Derek because he was genuinely clumsy like that, but man. A part of you wonders why he wasn’t able to detect the distinctiveness of the canned food. Josiah amped his jokes up even more when you started to join him. Before you could continue reveling, a light shake on the table brought you back to the present.

“Should I order some to give to Derek later? Naaah, that’d be too mean right?” He said while laughing, showing a bit of fang. “Welll… he wouldn’t be able to figure it out anyways if I just put it in a takeout box.” He added. “Stop- stop man…” You stopped to hold yourself. “H-ha ha! Cruel! You- you’re an asshole!” You managed to get out while laughing. He laughed with you with shiny eyes. You didn’t notice that he was about to grab your hand but it was abruptly interrupted when the waitress came over to your table. “What can I get for you two?“ she asked in a exhausted manner. Oops, you didn’t have enough time to look through the menu. You remember skimming through the burger section and settled for that. Not wanting to waste time for the waitress, you replied “A burger with fries. Extra ketchup please.” She noted it down and looked expectantly to Josiah. “I’ll get a burger too” he said blankly. “With fries?“ she said while sighing and he shook his head. After writing down his order, she walked back into the kitchen.

You opened your mouth to say something but then a group of people stumbled into the diner with loud booming voices, drunkenly yelling and singing. From the way they looked, they probably came back from a party. They sat near a bigger table, which was unfortunately next to yours. The quiet night that was supposed to belong to you and Josiah was lost. You sighed and did you best to avoid looking them while Josiah simply raised his posture. “So what happened with your manager this morning? Didn’t look so good.” You asked him to get some conversation going. “Ah, yeah.” He sighed. “I clocked in early this morning to get shit done but uh, night shift security fucked up the closet last night. Manager walked in saw me, thought I was the culprit.” He said while giving a sour look. “Course he yelled at me for the shit I didn’t do at all. But you know I don’t care about that stuff. Nothing bad happened, so don’t worry about it” He finished. You were confused. “Night shift security? You mean that buff obnoxious guy? Don’t tell me you’ve been fighting with him.” You asked sternly. “Hah, nah. I act the same as usual. You know me. Don’t need to talk to anyone except you.” He stated. Your eyes widened at that, though as quick as it came you immediately recovered your gaze.

“Oh…” was all you mustered out. What Josiah said just now, you couldn’t deny. He never talked to anyone else. His entire schedule revolved around you. In the mornings he’d greet you especially and went back to whatever he was doing. During lunch, he went to your floor and hung out with you for an ungodly amount of time. He’d talk to you about anything and everything as long as you were talking too. When it was time to clock out, he’d clock out with you, not caring about what his manager had to say. He’d walk you home or would ride the bus with you. To watch out for you as he said. He gets away with it, as he does with many other things. Perhaps they don’t care anymore. But you never minded his behaviors. He was your friend after all.

You remembered when you started working at Ossoteq, Josiah was one of the people you expected to never get along with. His distant behavior was enough to call it quits on him. Somehow though, you don’t remember exactly, he made his way into your circle. As he says, it’s not important about how you met him personally, how you ran into him despite being in different occupations, how you both started talking, it wasn’t important because of how close you two were right now. You couldn’t rely on your memories because they were hazed, but you trusted him, because he was always there for you. You believed him with no faults. And you think, it’s because he relies on you the way you rely on him. At least that’s what you think.

You snap back into reality after realizing you’ve pondered for too long and looked at Josiah. He stares at you with an unknown emotion, taking in all of your features in silence. Flustered, you averted your eyes and apologized for spacing out. Just as you were getting more and more embarrassed, the waitress came back with your food. She sets them down respectively and leaves. You gawk at food and take delight in its smell. It looked delicious and juicy from the way the tomato and lettuce were arranged. “Your eyes are bulging right now, cmon, take a bite. You won’t regret it.” He chuckles. You look at him and back at your plate, carefully grabbing the burger and raising it to your mouth. Your first bite in brings a twinge of spice on your tongue, you go in for the second, third, and fourth. You don’t notice the way he smiles at your beaming face.

Your fingers began to grab at your fries only to find Josiah already putting some on his plate. “Hey! If you wanted some why didn’t you order it?” You huffed with a stuffed mouth. “Yours just look so good. Couldn’t help myself.” He said, not stopping his actions. Though he started to take the smaller chips instead. You roll your eyes and quickly grab as much fries as you can and shove them into your mouth before he takes them all. He laughs at your display playfully and silently takes a photo of you to show you after. It’d make good blackmail for you to stay up with him at late night arcades, he thinks. He looks at the table and realizes that there are no drinks and waves down the waitress for two colas.

While Josiah finishes ordering, you devour your meal peacefully. A small piece of paper lightly hits your head. You look to your right and find the group from earlier making a mess. Straws were strewn about, napkins on the floor and puke under the table. A girl from their table spills her drink and only glances at it before talking to her group again. You gagged and looked away in disgust. You grimaced and began to feel uncomfortable from your surroundings. Your senses felt overloaded and you didn’t feel like eating anymore. A sigh that was a bit louder than it should’ve been escaped your lips and it became a mistake.

“Heeeey, are we annoying you or something?“ a boy said to you sarcastically. You ignored him and continued with your golden fries. Man they were good. “Hey. Fuckin respond.” He demanded. You wondered when your drink was coming in. “Hey-“ and his voice was abruptly stopped. You thought, finally. Curiously, your eyes looked to them without moving your head. A much more sober looking girl was whispering to the boy. He looks at your table then widens his eyes. His attention shifts back to his group, then he looks at his hands. He gets up with frustration and goes up to the diner counters. You decided that was enough and looked at Josiah, who already had his eyes on you again. “You alright? We can go, if you want.” He asks softly enough for you to hear. You shake your head “Let’s wait for the drinks first.”

You pondered again. The silence was awkward now, since the place was still being occupied by drunk people. You started again. “The uh, company party is pretty close now. You gonna go?” You hesitantly asked. He’s taken aback by the question and sighs. He rests his body against the chair. “… Maybe if you go. Don’t have much to do there. I’ll snag a couple drinks.” He replies blankly. He was right, there wasn’t much to do there. Most came to the party for face. But for someone normal like you, it was like any another other event. “Mm, maybe not actually. I’ll find something to do on that day.” You say instead. He looks like he wants to say something but doesn’t. Instead, he gets up from the table and heads for the counters. You sit and close your eyes. Taking a few breaths, you feel a cold air brush against you. Noting the signature smell, you could already tell it was Josiah.

You open your eyes and look up. Josiah half smiles at you with the drinks in his hands and raises his right eyebrow, making a gesture at the door. You get up from the table and take your drink from his cold hands. It was still icy and wet. As you make your way towards the door Josiah makes an Oh sound. “I gotta uh, use the bathroom real quick. Can you hold this for a sec?” He asks awkwardly. You grab his drink while nodding and head outside to wait for him.

The cold air hits you instantly. The sky was already pitch black and the street lamps were lit, lighting up the sidewalk. As you wait, a few cars pass. Your hands begin to freeze and as your back shudders a familiar ding sounds. You look towards the entrance doors and see Josiah making his way towards you. As he’s walking to you, you can’t help but notice his jacket looks a bit soaked at the ends. He does a light smile and takes his drink out from your hands. “You look like you’re gonna die in this weather.” He says softly. His eyes are glued onto you, glazed and half lidded. “Mhm… might as well.” You reply while putting your empty hand into your pocket. “…Gonna walk me home, Jo?” You ask teasingly. He quickly rushes ahead of you, making sure his face is turned away. “Fuck, don’t say that.” He replies, already a few feet away from you, though you could tell he was smiling. “Heeey, don’t leave me!” You yell after him. “Then hurry up. Don’t have all night!” He yells back.

You catch up to him and give a small huff.

“…Unless uh, you got time. I could spend a couple more hours with you.” Josiah says.

• • •

While you walk through the dimly lit streets with Josiah, you hear faint and quiet sirens behind you. Before you can look back, Josiah grabs your arm and pushes you against him.

“Woah, watch out. There’s a big branch there, dummy.” He tells you. You look at his face, he distantly smiles sweetly at you.

Overtime - Relationship Headcanons

Happy Valentine’s Day! These are just small tid bits of what came into my mind if they were in a relationship. Also forgive me if I mess up a few words or the grammar doesn’t make sense, I’m always sleep deprived so I’m running on my last 30% of brain energy.

For Emery and Annette headcanons: Sorry if these headcanons seem like they’re written for a particular group of people. I am a bi woman and this is my first time writing romance for a female character. I’ve read many romantic stories and headcanons of other female characters however I’ve only ever self inserted myself being in a relationship with them, making me more used to f/f relationships when it comes to headcanoning female characters. However, I am still trying in making everything gender neutral because I want to include everyone, advice is welcomed!

Also I apologize Josiah’s are different from the others. His is mostly talking about dates because I already wrote many headcanons about him specifically.

Josiah

Would be a chill person to be around if it’s only you. He doesn’t interact with the others as much.

He wouldn’t go outside much but if you insisted he would go to a park with you or something and walk alongside you. Overall not much of a outside guy. Trying to imagine him hiking on a long trail would be hilarious, just constant heaving 20 minutes in. He won’t leave until you leave though. He will not risk you being out of his sight and potentially having danger come to you.

Find something you guys can do together otherwise gaming is going to be the No. 1 spot in hanging out. Josiah would probably prefer to play fps/pvp games to de-stress and troll other players for fun. Would I see him playing animal crossing or other sim games? Yeah. He gives no damn about what games he plays tbh, as long as he’s with you he’s good. If he sees you play animal crossing he’ll ask you for your friend code. He’ll even constantly visit your island to bug you while you’re doing chores or decorating. His island would look cluttered and chaotic however it would still have his charm added into it. Somehow manages to keep a 5 star rating despite all the crap he has on his beaches.

If you like going out while on dates he complies no complaints. Taking you out to eat is leaned onto more. Not to a high end restaurant or anything (once in awhile if you do want to go to those restaurants) but more of a humble and nice place. You want to try out some of his favorite dishes? Hell yeah, he’ll take you out to his favored Vietnamese restaurant.

Josiah can cook basic meals and instant foods. Eggs, spam over seasoned rice, chicken n rice, etc. Has never tried to cook anything other than easy meals because he didn’t have a reason to. Doesn’t mean he’ll make a bad cook though, if you ask him maybe he could make something more extreme. Though he can cook the most you’ll see this man eat are instant foods so for the love of god, start hanging his gaming console over his head and make him eat healthier.

Baking with him! So cute, you’d be doing most of the work though. It’s not because he is incompetent or whatever, he just likes to have fun with you! Teasing you left and right while you batter some chocolate, sticking his finger in the said chocolate and then wiping it over your face, maybe he’ll kiss you… or maybe he’ll start a chocolate marking war with you. He likes having fun with you the most as long as you’re okay with it! Only with you, of course.

During work he usually does his own thing and will only stick around you for the most part. If you need him he’s there.

Him comforting you after getting berated by another employee would be him holding you in some way. He’s not the best with advice or words but he’s there with you. Don’t ask about the rips on his shirt though.

After all, he’s used to it.

Cons for this man: Uhhh there’s a lot already. But besides the obvious of why, I’ll say that his codependency rises up the chart when you both start dating. State your boundaries with him and he will try to respect them. As long as he is not in a horrible state of mind, he is more likely to listen to you.

Last thoughts: Quality time man! I said this before and I’ll say it over and over again. Him being around you makes him happier than stabbing those who bad mouthed you earlier! His devotion to you is “inspiring”.

Damian

Polite man. He’s very eloquent so it’s easy to be in a conversation with him. However he does come as stand-offish. He means well.

Already a canon hockey player. He will teach you how to play hockey on your off days if you ask! I see him a bit of a perfectionist so teaching you how to play properly is more on the table for him rather than just standing and joking around. If you don’t want to though it’s fine! When he plays hockey during his free time you are more than welcomed to watch him and cheer for him! Even if it’s not official he appreciates you and always basks in your praises.

Speaking of praises, keep praising him. I swear to god keep praising him. Especially for his skills in hockey. He basks in your sea of praises and eats every single one of them. Becomes flustered for the rest of the day.

Imagine him covering his face after you praise him.

An active person. Since his job stresses him out he spends his time outside just de-stressing in nature. So on your dates you both would be out and about doing something. Doesn’t have to be hiking or whatever. Damian won’t mind spending the day at home with you as long as it’s not all the time.

Bring a camera on your dates! He would love to look at the photos you took of your dates and just smile at em. Would put them in a album.

Since you’re the only exception in the workplace, he would assist you with whatever work that needs to be done. He’ll scold or decline anyone else who asks (Gavin) and continue on with his work. However with you… he’d make the exception. If he sees you being all sickly, tired, exhausted, etc, he’ll quickly go over to your cubicle, push you slightly away from the computer, finish your work in the span of 3 seconds, carry you, take you home, and put you in bed with the proper necessities laid out next to you. All of this while he’s lightly scolding you, comforting you, and cursing the damn workplace like it’s a spell.

When you both are in the office he tends to be more professional however if you need him to comfort you etc he will! He would either quickly finish his work or set it aside and just open his arms. He knows how much being heard can help someone (given his background, I’m assuming his parents always shoved their beliefs and stuff on him and he never had the chance to do the things he wanted) so he wholeheartedly listens to you vent. If you want silence he can do that as well!

He’s patient, so if you have a hard time talking about certain things, doing certain things, etc, he understands. He’ll wait until you’re ready.

He’s the kind of partner to push you outside of your comfort zone, so be prepared!

Since he knows you and Josiah are good friends he refrains from talking bad about him. Other than complaining to you about his cans crowding his space, he holds his tongue. Even though he loves you, he wants to keep you away from Josiah. The look of that man has definitely encouraged Damian to keep you away from him at all costs.

One con I would have to say about him is his vulnerability. I can see him bottling up his emotions and closing them off. He’s used to staying professional and saying nothing too harsh to keep the peace, so please let him know it’s okay to feel and express his more negative emotions!

Last thoughts: Words of affirmation would be his love language! He loves you and in his own time he would say very sweet things to you! He would 100% be more happier if you give him the same energy too. Overall very sweet man.

Gavin

A really cool person to be around. A relaxing aura and a overall positive personality, how can you hate the guy?

Would ask to do a reading for you (if you’re not familiar, tarot reading specifically). He knows a lot more than he lets on. The moment he saw you he’s like “they’re my soulmate fr”.

Something you both could do is just vibe out at home or outside and do relaxing activities. He’s not as active as Damien however he does like to be outside and do his own thing. I imagine him refocusing himself in nature to tune himself spiritually. He’d introduce you to his hobby if you know zero to little about it! He would also appreciate it if you were open minded as he got called “crazy” or “delusional” for being interested in these things. He is really passionate about this so if you were 100% interested in what he does he would SWOON.

If you are the same as him he would be over the moon. He wouldn’t show too much on front but inside he’s just so damn happy, having to meet his soulmate and finding out they’re into the same stuff he is into?? Mans would collapse.

If you have your reservations about spirituality and magick he understands though. He’ll do his own thing and you’ll do yours.

Cue in him gifting you his crystals. He thought about you for one second and said “Hm hm they said that they were getting anxious recently, I’ll give them an amethyst!” Ooh! And when you guys get even closer to the point of potential life commitment, he’ll give you a Kunzite, a crystal of love and devotion!

At work you and him already work together on the same floor so during lunch time he would just go up to your cubicle and have the both of you head somewhere. Conversations between you guys would flow smoothly and either consist of crazy things or level headed topics. He makes time for you, mostly because he is usually waiting for something to update or process through. Oddly enough, he gets his work done pretty quickly.

Larp with him and the both of you can be the IT floor menaces teasing Damien every so often with “Hm hm!”.

He smiles often but when he genuinely smiles? It will be the prettiest sight ever laid onto mere eyes.

If you need him to use his powers to read into people and get information about them he will do so. However he tends to leave some information ambiguous and sometimes even gives you lies of omissions. Could it be for fun or your safety?

Very intuitive! He can catch on to your feelings pretty quickly! If you’re upset the first thing he’ll do is try to soothe you and make you less upset. He’ll try to make joke or tell you a interesting story to take your mind off things. 50/50 on advice-talking. May or may not make things a bit worse.

Knows everything about everyone. Not even Josiah would be safe if Gavin looked into him more.

One con about him, I’d say that he would have the tendency to avoid problems by staying away from them even though they need to be intervened with. If you want to confront him head on the best thing to do is to never wait for the “moment”. It will come no matter if you are prepared for it or not.

Last thoughts: Gift giving is the way this man goes! Gavin loves seeing your face brighten up when he presents you with his crystals. He goes out of his way to memorize what you like and don’t like, so when you see all of the things you wanted for the past few months on your cubicle don’t act surprised when you see Gavin occasionally looking over his shoulder and at you. He’s waiting for that kiss on the cheek.

Emery

She is a hard worker and fighter. Her determination to get through tough times inspires you.

Emery likes to get things done and quick. She prioritizes duty and prefers to have things orderly. On dates she would want to plan a well organized schedule packed with things to do whether the date is inside or outside. It mostly goes well on almost every date.

I am imagining a coffee date in a humble establishment. It would have the right amount of people in there and the right amount of quality put in those drinks. After that you both would head somewhere bustling. Maybe a mall where you could ask her which clothes you should wear to the upcoming work party? Or even the city square to visit shops until daylight runs out.

Probably the most versatile to dates. She’s okay with home dates and outside dates as long as they’re not dangerous. When you both are on outside dates she packs necessities, towels, first aid, etc just in case! With inside dates like at her house, she makes sure she has necessary things in order to make you comfortable! Before you head to her house, she wants to cook up something just in case you haven’t had your fill. Not necessary you said? Okay, how about some snacks?

Polished inside and out of her house. Compliment her choice of decoration! She works hard to make this house comfortable to live in. She has good decorum compared to the others.

When you both get closer she might offer to cook lunches for the both of you if she sees you aren’t doing to well. She will be more than happy to accept.

If you do the same for her, she will be very appreciative! Albeit a little uncomfortable because she isn’t used to others going out of their way for her. Nonetheless she is very happy that you think of her.

She used to be lonely at work until you finally talked to her, she was reserved at first but never pushed you away, now she has a partner she can happily call hers! If she sees you being scolded/harassed by the people at work, she will forcefully grab your hand and take you away from them, only giving them a dirty glare as a goodbye. After that, she would set you down near a break room and prepare a warm drink for you. If you wanted to vent she will listen and add her input in when needed. If you were a bit more somber she would just embrace you and offer her warmth to comfort you.

She would literally fight for you. She’s not a total professional fighter however she knows some techniques and moves on the side. Her reflexes are crazy too!

She would last the longest against Josiah. Should she ever catch Josiah with a knife in his hand and you on the ground, all hell breaks loose.

One con for Emery is her insecurities of being needed. She wants to be of some use, to have something to do besides stand around and watch everyone ignore her very being. When she finally dates you, her need to be useful springs up. Remind her it’s okay to not always do things for you to show you her love. Talk and work through ways for her to express herself more. You can also compromise with her to do equal acts of service together!

Last thoughts: Acts of service is her love language! She smiles to herself imagining how appreciative you’ll be in the afternoon when she shows you the next lunchbox, how you’ll trade pieces of meat and vegetables with her, and how you’ll gush over her thoughtfulness and consideration.

Annette

Peppy and hopeful. Being a new worker has brought in a lot of pressure from her peers, however it seems she takes comfort in you.

Her ideas of date are a bit romanticized but all in good faith. Picnics, amusement parks, movie theaters, etc, it’s all simple but fun! She probably doesn’t consider most home dates as dates tbh. If it’s not a homemade dinner or a movie night, she’d consider it just a regular hangout between the both of you.

If you take her out to dinner, she’ll be a blushing mess! What is she going to wear? What if her hair tangles up in the middle of it? Even worse a stomach ache!

She will become anxious and more anxious up until she sees you come to pick her up. She immediately relaxes and tries to become more resistant to fear on the way there. On dates out to restaurants, she’ll always offer to pay full meal and if you won’t let her, 50/50! She won’t take no for an answer. She wants to be a good partner and that she is!

She does her best to look good for you, physically and status wise. She never wants to see you look at her with disgust or even worse, pity. She believes she might not be the best of all but she has you and she wants to build herself up to become the best version of herself. Let her know that she is enough for you and that you love her the way she is (or else *clocks gun*).

When she’s comfortable she tends to linger around you with a ghost of a touch. You make her feel secure and protected, so she attaches herself onto you when she starts feeling nervous.

At work, when you get called over by another co worker near the entrance she’ll watch with a bit of longing. Once you start showing signs of discomfort though she’ll pick up on it. In a split moment of decision making she’ll come up to you and tell you about a emergency on the upper floor slightly stumbling her words in the process. She’ll grab your arm and drag you to the elevator area, not sparing a single glance to the person who was talking to you just now. She would be very anxious afterwords but she’s more focused on you who was just put in a uncomfortable situation. Reassure all is well thanks to her. She would be very satisfied with herself for being able to protect you in her own way as you did with her.

Since she is still very new there, a lot of employees tend to ignore her, scold her, or even harass her. She takes comfort in you after the ordeals. Though not required, she would feel a sense of relief if you were a fighter (as in a very resistant and feral if provoked) because she would know that if anything beyond that happened to her, you would immediately come to her defense.

She sees you as an inspiration, the way you carry yourself around the office, the way you don’t take shit from anyone else, and the fact that you are quick to be so easy going with the other workers. She has admired you from afar and developed a crush long before you even dated.

You both have become accustomed to going home together and that brings her peace. However she noted that sometimes when you went back to your office to retrieve something you had forgotten, a certain management worker would always linger in the area until you came back.

Cons I have for her… it would be her insecurities about herself as a person. As she is obviously meek and young, she has a tendency to want to rely on others and look up to them. She’s a follower and knows so, even though she really doesn’t want to be. The change won’t come if all she does is look and not do, so you would have to be up front with her and give her some confidence!

Last thoughts: A lover of physical touch! She wants to be secure and comforted by someone she trusts, leading all but for you to just cuddle with her and relax in bliss. Even at work with a single kiss or some loving hand holding she would immediately become motivated just to see you at the end of the day.

My goodness this took a very long time. Apologies if some headcanons are different from what you imagined the characters to be! I had half a brain when writing these and I just wanted to finish asap. Thanks for reading!
