"Would you still love me if I were a worm?" Part 2
Feat: Pollux, and Sirius
Genre: Fluff, Humor, Crack
Warnings: Mildly suggestive on Sirius' part of the story (we all know how he gets)
Navigation: Part 1: Spica, Alpheratz | Part 2
Pollux
"...Huh? Where's the punchline?" Pollux asks, voice slightly muffled with his cheeks adorably puffed out in mid-chew of a spoonful of pancake he shoved in his mouth moments prior. He's clad in his casual attire, sitting across you in a café you frequent together.
"There's no punchline. I am asking you." You fix him an expectant look as you repeat your question, "Would you still love me if I were a worm?"
Pollux tries his best not to gawk at you as if you've grown two heads. His bicolored eyes dart across your face, trying to gauge whether you're really expecting an answer from him or not. Seeing the unyielding gaze you're giving him, he deduces that you, in fact, are waiting for an answer to your rather odd question. He remains unresponsive for several seconds more. If you didn’t know any better, you’d think your inquiry had broken Pollux.exe.
“For how long are you going to resemble a mute?”
Pollux finally snaps out of his trance, swallowing his mouthful of pancakes before granting you a response, “Geez, give me a break, I just can’t believe you want me to answer that,” he grumbles, pushing the food around his plate with his cutlery, suddenly not finding his meal very appetizing. "I don't know... is this a trick question? Can I just answer with a no?"
"You can, but that'll only imply you wouldn't have taken an interest in me if—"
"What?! That definitely isn't it!” Pollux protests, not even allowing you to finish your statement. He runs a dainty hand through his soft locks in mild frustration. He really is the type who's easily worked up, you note. “But... you'd be a worm."
"And?" There’s a defiant tilt to your chin, as if you’re challenging him.
“I mean, how is that going to work for us? Should I start learning how to communicate with a worm? Would you still choose to love me if you were a worm and I am still me? ” You bite the insides of your cheeks to refrain from breaking into an amused grin as Pollux fires at you his barrage of questions, "If I ask you the same thing, how are you gonna answer then?"
"You're evading my question, I asked you first."
"Fine! Fine..." he trails off, mumbling barely audible words, which you somehow manage to discern are actually complaints. "Yeah, yeah, I'd still love or whatever the worm version of you."
"Now you're just saying that because you know I'd be disappointed otherwise."
He shoots you a disbelieving look, whining as he throws his arms in the air exasperatedly. "Y/n, Y/n, what should I do then? Why are you even asking me this? It's so weird..." His brows begin to furrow in concern. "With my luck, what if something bad happens to you because of me? I won't be able to forgive myself."
You give him a reassuring smile, dismissing his worries as you reach out to give a comforting poke on his cheek, which he playfully swats, a coy smile forming on his lips.
"Forget it then, Pol. But can I ask you another question?" You inquire saccharinely, trying to lighten up the mood.
He perks up and nods in agreement before taking a large gulp of his drink, happy to change the subject.
"Would you still love me if I were a louse?"
It's almost comical how fast he visibly deflates, shoulders sagging exasperatedly as he slumps back on his seat. "Y/n, Y/n, that question doesn't make sense at all either!" He exclaims.
You snicker as Pollux frowns, looking so done with your shenanigans. Scoffing, he gestures his hand in your direction. "What would you want me to do then? I'll just go with whatever you want."
You look at him dead in the eye as you reply, "Put me on your scalp and let me thrive there."
Pollux recoils in horror, heterochromatic eyes blown so wide you fear they'll fall out of their sockets. "The hell?! Y/n that's gross!"
Feigning being crestfallen by his reaction, you jut your lower lip out in a pout and painstakingly avert your gaze. Upon seeing your expression, Pollux immediately backpedals.
"Wait! Fine! What you said," he begrudgingly concedes. "On my scalp, you'd stay. Make it itchy I don’t care anymore. Go wild."
You can't help but cackle at his defeated tone, offering him a pleasant smile once you regain your composure.
"But, how are we even going to hang out if things are gonna be like that?" he sulks. His face crumples in a mix of deep thought and perhaps, the still lingering confusion your question had left in its wake. He's pensive for a moment as he mulls over his previous query, as if not being able to hang out with you would be his biggest problem in a scenario where you’re no longer a human.
"Well I don't know about you. In my case I'd literally be hanging on your hair strands," you wheeze when Pollux just raises a hand in surrender. "Don't fret about it too much, let's just say I’m still capable of human speech even as a louse. More chitchat time for us since we'd be practically glued together."
"That would be a different twist to having a conversation in my head," he notes thoughtfully.
"More like having a conversation with the parasite on your head."
"People who would happen to see me talking to you like that would think I'm a loony," Pollux murmurs, but after picturing himself getting caught in mid-conversation with you as a louse, he can't help but let out an amused snort. Shoving another spoonful of his food to his mouth, Pollux goes back to enjoying his meal as your conversation comes into a lull.
Suddenly remembering that you’ve been meaning to ask him to lend you his notes for a lecture you’ve missed when you’ve fallen asleep zoned out during the discussion in one of your classes, you call for his attention once again.
“By the way Pol, I’ve been meaning to ask you about—”
Pollux snaps his head in your direction with a dreadful look in his heterochromatic eyes.
"Please don't ask me 'would you still love me if I were a mosquito?' next and demand that I let you bite my arm and suck my blood dry," he pleads.
You blink at him before you roar with laughter as you double over. Pollux looks at you with an affronted expression, before eventually seeing the humor in it too as his shoulders shake when he laughs with abandon. In between your fits of laughter, you manage to assure him that you won't ask him questions like that again… for now.
Cue Pollux whining in protest.
Sirius
"Absolutely,” he confidently replies without even batting an eye. His eyes that fondly remind you of a kaleidoscope twinkle mischievously when he smiles at you. "For you I'd be a worm too, Summoner. I'd be keeping you company."
You snort a laugh as you nod approvingly. “Not the worst answer. You pass, I guess.”
His eyebrows quirk up at your remark. “Was that supposed to be a test? Such a strange way of phrasing it, I must say,” he comments before turning his head to focus on the path ahead.
Sirius gravitates closer to you as the both of you trek down the streets leading to the theatre to watch another play, which Sirius had insisted on buying tickets for, so you can watch it together. A comfortable silence envelopes you as you fall in stride with him. The sun is just beginning to set, but in spite of the fact that the day is coming to an end, there’s still a busy flow of people in the area that is yet to dwindle out.
"Do you know that some worms are hermaphrodites? An individual’s body has a set of both male and female reproductive organs,” Sirius muses out loud, breaking the serenity.
You turn your head to face the man beside you, paying attention to what he has to say as you expect him to further elaborate his little trivia.
Sirius meets your gaze, his lips pressed into a sly smirk. “If we are to live as one of them, we should pick a type that had long gone extinct, and repopulate it together."
You nearly trip, and almost choke on your own spit. "You did not just say that."
"Oh but I just did,” he pipes up, rather pleased of himself for a reason unbeknownst to you.
You give him the side eye as you brace yourself for whatever kind of nonsense he's going to blabber about.
“I'd finally have you all to myself. I don't mind whatever shape or form I'll have to take," he continues, not breaking eye contact, you note that they're sparkling in a way that you can't read what really lies on his mind. “The idea isn't extremely repulsive. Think about it, Y/n. No duty, no responsibility, and most of all, no… distractions.” Sirius lists each advantage he can think of, lifting a finger for each one.
"Yep, not happening," you proclaim.
"Is that rejection I hear? Lacking tact too, I see," he laments, clutching his chest in faux hurt. "You really do know how to wound a man, Summoner."
"Quit with the dramatics, that won't sway me," you chide.
“Let’s give it a chance. If things go awry we can always just return to our true forms,” Sirius stresses almost every word as if doing so will make you see his point, which you firmly believe is non-existent anyway. "So, what do you say if I tell you I’m more than ready to go and give it a try right here and then?”
"If you transform yourself into a worm right now I'd crush you under my shoe."
"Lovingly? A bit on the sadistic side, but I don't mind if you're into that. I'm always willing to try new things with you—"
"Sirius!"
"You're breaking my heart here." Sirius sullenly shakes his head, sighing dejectedly in an attempt to pull at your heartstrings.
You wrinkle your nose at his theatrics. "Why don't you tell me something about this play we're about to watch instead? You were so adamant in convincing me to watch it with you."
"Eager to drop the subject that you, yourself, were the one who brought it up in the first place?" he taunts, quirking an eyebrow teasingly.
You shoot him an unamused look. Eyes narrowing dangerously, to which Sirius only gives you a winning smile of his in return.
"Alright, I digress. As always, I picked only the best seats for us. Wouldn't want my wiggly worm to miss out on anything since what we're about to watch—"
"Your what? " you squawk as you turn to him in horror. Sirius opens his mouth to reply but just before he can say even more absurd things, you interject, "You are not calling me that."
"You may call me yours, too. It's the perfect pet name for us, is it not?" Sirius responds, deliberately ignoring your earlier demand.
"You better not be serious right now."
"How can I not when I actually go by that name?"
"Bye."
Intent on leaving him behind, you quicken your pace. Not wanting to garner the attention of the other people passing by, you resist the urge to become a runner and a track star just to increase the distance between the two of you. Your attempt turns out to be futile anyway, for within a few long strides, Sirius manages to keep up with you with no trouble at all, smiling down at you brightly. You silently curse his long legs.
You can only hope that he won't actually keep on calling you that horrendous and absolutely not flattering pet name he came up with. The nerve of this man, you initiated this conversation expecting that you'll get a few good laughs out of it because of his reactions. But this man pulled an uno reverse card by turning you into his source of entertainment instead.
Sirius slips his hand into yours and gives it a tentative squeeze. "I meant every word I've said Y/n. Well, atleast most of it." He playfully winks as the both of you enter the doors of the building hand in hand.
a/n: I hope you'll find it in yourself to enjoy reading this as much as I've enjoyed the writing process.
I didn't expect I'll have that much fun, haha. Once I've laid down the general idea, the characters pretty much wrote their own dialogues and I just went with the flow. Busying myself in making this helped me cope from the lack of new in-game content 🤧 let's all hang in there. xx

Hello and good morning/afternoon/night! How are you? I hope you're doing alright. I have a request about Arcana Twilight, since I saw in your bio that you're open to receiving requests. But don't feel pressured to write this if you don't want to, prioritize your comfort and happiness first! And take as much time as you need, I understand and I'll wait as long as it takes!
Back to the main point, could I request Arcana Twilight headcanons of the main cast dating a gender neutral reader who in the beginning in the relationship was shy at initiating affection, but after a while becomes bolder and goes out of their way to spoil their partner with romantic and sweet gestures?
Thank you and goodbye!

𝐀𝐥𝐩𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐳
•it would make him so happy to see you get more confident
•not that he would say it aloud
•When you first started dating he would definitely initiate most affection and found it very amusimg to see your timid or shy expression whenever you would do it
•would absolutely be a menace and try to flustered you 24/7 but you were just so cute when flustered why wouldn't he want to fluster you?
• definitely teases you about it when you first start dating
•the first time he saw a gift next to him when he woke up he was absolutely confused and lowkey thought it was from someone else
•but once he found out it was you he would break into a small smile and would probably ruffle your hair
•soon his favorite part of the nap isnt the nap itself but waking up to see a small gift next to him
𝐀𝐫𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐮𝐬
•we are talking about the #1 best boy here he loved you when you were the one being spoiled and when you were the one doing the spoiling
•his love language is absolutely physical touch
•the first time you walk up to him and just hug him no warning at all he's face red, stuttering, super duper flustered
•10/10 sight to witness
•after a while though he would get used to it and if anything he would be super happy that you were getting more confident
•like he probably was worried you didn't like his affection at the beginning
•he is super understanding though so he would never hold it against you
𝐕𝐞𝐠𝐚
•My mans was the exact same way
•he definitely didn't initiate any physical contact
•love language is most definitely quality time
•the first few months of yall dating was so awkward 💀
•like he would wanna hold your hand but would be to nervous and in the end would just end up fidgeting with his earing
•if you grabbed his hand first or hugged him he would freeze up
•he is a statue
•over time would get used to it but the slight blush on his cheek every time you hug him will never go away
•not that you minded it
𝐏𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐮𝐱
•my favorite pooki
•he tends to be really insecure so you being all timid at the start would definitely plant some negative seeds in him
•he does find it adorable at times don't get him wrong he is just an overthinker
•once you become your confident with your affection though...
•he is suddenly the timid and shy one
•if you were to walk up to him and just cup his face in your hands and start giving him kisses
•he is a puddle of happiness
•he really just wants to be loved and cared for :(
•i feel like the favoritism is noticible but if it is no its not.
𝐒𝐩𝐢𝐜𝐚
•he is an old fashioned lover
•he wouldnt exactly mind it and either way he doesn't really like PDA prefering to keep that for when you're both alone
•Definitely prefers showing his affection through quality time or words of affirmation
•if you get more confident and reach out to hold his hand he wouldn't pull away but anything more than that would have to be saved for when you're alone
•he would have a small smile on his face and would internally feel all mushy inside if you left small kisses on his face
•in the end it wouldn't change much he loves you either way
•help cause i lowkey didn't know what to write for him💀
𝐒𝐢𝐫𝐢𝐮𝐬
•he would tease you 24/7 about your timidness
•found it absolutely precious
•he normally initiates kisses and hugs so he wouldn't mind it at all!
•would finding it very amusing the first time you tried to kiss his cheek all nervous
•once you get more confident he would still tease you just this time about how confident you are
•in the end you're right where you started with him teasing you 24/7
•i hate him sm im sorry but i tried my best😭

If I made a mistake or shared misinformation, feel free to inform me in the comments cause I think I made many mistakes.
🅆🄰🅁🄽🄸🄽🄶🅂: ArTw spoilers.
*・゚゚・*:.。..。.:*゚:*:✼✿ ✿✼:*゚:.。..。.:*・゚゚・*
The guide committee except Sirius head to the Deep-Rooted Tower to take care of an issue.
They all went inside but Vega stayed with MC to ensure their safety.
But then even Vega had to leave because Kamargo's representative wished to see him for an urgent matter.
And in that short time after Vega's departure, Sirius swooped in.
MC fainted after that.
......... Fuck you Sirius. I hate you for making me develop feelings for you even when you repeatedly gaslighted me.
Anyways, so now this Holographic psycho bitch is a wanted criminal.
I don't understand why he did this, my best guess is curiosity. Queen Tets are known to be really selfish so..... He doesn't care what damage it brings to others as long as his need to know has been satisfied.
。・:*:・゚★,。・:*:・゚☆。・:*:・゚★,。・:*:・゚☆
Literally fuck him but.... His fashion sense though...
✨SLAYYYY KING✨
。・:*:・゚★,。・:*:・゚☆。・:*:・゚★,。・:*:・゚☆
Anyway, the guide committee is fucked, stuck in the tower.
Vega is the only one still with MC outside and safe.
Btw did I mention that Vega is literally our unofficial husband at this point? Like he's so protective and caring and AHHHHHHHHH!!!
*ahem* back to the topic on hand.
We now finally have a face to put along side the name Schedar.
Let me tell you.... I WAS NOT EXPECTING HIM TO BE THIS PRETTY.
Looks run in the family it seems. I think I finally understand why Alpheratz desperately tries to keep the MC from meeting this Mr. Steal your girl hehehee.
Schedar asks us to summon the sorcerers inside the tower, the guide committee sorcerers.
They all go to the central plaza (is that what it was called?) And a big summoning ritual of sorts was prepared with many magic tools around.
The MC went to the center of all the magical objects and tried to summon them but failed...
Then a door opened and on the other side we met,
Debris. An old acquaintance, I assume from the way he speaks to us.
I don't know what to feel about him..... Is he friend or foe? Idk.
But it feels as if we went to another dimension or maybe went back in time.
。・:*:・゚★,。・:*:・゚☆
Thank you for allowing me to waste your time.
