Self-aware König X Gender-neutral Reader
Tumblr media
Word count: ~2800
König slowly comes to the realisation that he was in a game, that he was never real, and that he'll never be with reader.
His sense of self deteriorates as all he wishes for is to escape from the boundaries of his code and be real.
In this instance, ignorance really *was* bliss.
*Slow burn
*König has a mental breakdown at one point lmao

If you had told König that he wasn't real, he would have looked at you blankly and said nothing, passing off your suggestion as a joke of sorts that he possibly couldn't understand.
Perhaps if he was ever faced with a situation like this he'd question you about it, but nothing more, and drop the subject at hand.
Honestly, the likelihood of him ever thinking over this twice would have been slim, as he would not pay your philosophy much thought shortly afterwards.
In fact, he believed that his life as a Kortac operator was indeed a real one, and he wore his embroided Austrian flag on his shoulder with something next to pride, always praised for his outstanding efforts by his superiors in the same tone of voice. To König, however, it meant nothing, and he'd only nod his head in an attempt at gratitude, turning his back to the commemoration in indifference.
Despite not remembering anything of his childhood, his upbringing — hell, even any of his past prior to becoming a soldier — König didn't ever think over it too deeply. The overwhelming pressure to make sure missions went without a hitch and constant deployments to foreign countries left no time to reminisce, especially not when his work was so demanding, and it only made sense to him that they were the reason for his forgotten memories.
Besides, even if he had time to spare and be inactive, he had to stay focused, as being an operator meant that he couldn't let any nostalgia or softness distract him from his tasks.
On the battlefield, König worked on autopilot, performing finishing kills with efficiency and with machine-like precision. Reacting quickly to enemies ambushing him from behind or an enemy that was laying on the floor behind the corner waiting to shoot him in the head, he'd eliminate the targets with bullets to spare. Really, he was unstoppable, and he was on a killing streak.
Until he was shot in the head one day.
The moment it happened, the shot was like an explosion that almost obliterated his eardrums, outside noise deafened like his head was underwater. All he could hear was the high-pitched ringing, and it held an uncanny resemblance to the beeping of a heart rate monitor machine that he would never lay next to, dying instead on a bed of cold rubble and broken shrapnel.
Somehow conscious enough to look around, his mind was completely empty, eyes attempting to adjust. What he'd assumed would happen in a time like this was his mind flashing with memories like a movie reel in his last moments, his entire life playing out in his final dying seconds.
Yet he remembered nothing. No Mama, no Papa, no childhood or any his life trials, nothing that had changed him and moulded his character, not even his motive for enlisting into the military in the first place.
The part that was most unnerving about all this was his complete apathy to it all.
Did he even care that he was dying? Shouldn't he at least feel regret at having essentially been the one to pull the trigger, cutting his own life short with the lifestyle he had committed himself to? Why wasn't he scared, sad, even bewildered at the very least, shocked that his life would soon end so unceremoniously? Fuck, not even mild disappointment at least at not even had travelled the world, and failing to ever explore any place besides abandoned buildings housing hostages and terrorist bases swarming with foes? Nothing at all?
Unable to process his situation, König just... laid there, unmoving, while his surroundings moved in double speed. Nondescript figures holding rifles wearing camo and balaclavas blurred in his vision, and he couldn't differentiate the enemy from his own.
Slowly losing consciousness, he felt his world darken around him, dulling his senses to the mayhem unfolding in real time. He'd accepted his fate, and could do nothing about it. That was that. And this was it.
It was a shock to his system when a silhouetted hand pulled him up by the arm limp by his side and shouted in his face, "Get up, soldier! This is no place to die!"
König didn't need to be told twice. He nodded his head robotically, his eyes looking ahead of him with a thousand-yard stare, and not even sparing a glance to the anonymous ally that saved him, he picked up the his gun off the floor and loaded another magazine into it with a satisfying click.
In his delirium, he worked on autopilot after that, shooting at anything that shot at him first. Too much in a daze, he was past the point of realising that the gaping bullet wound had suddenly sealed itself, vanishing entirely and leaving no mark that it was ever there.
After that, König didn't realise that he wasn't real when any injuries still didn't affect him. He assumed that his insensitivity to wounds was a result of a high pain tolerance, and his body healing miraculously was his ability to regenerate fast.
Although he would lay on the ground, his arm outstretched while through gritted teeth shouting: "Scheisse! Ich brauche hier Hilfe! I need some help over here!"; truth be told, he'd only do so when he after getting used to seeing so many bodies writhe in pain like so, and something for some reason told him that it was the right thing to do.
Waking up moments after not far from the spot he supposedly died in a daze, all bullet wounds gone, he didn't have time in the moment to think over the specifics of his death. Maybe he was hallucinating, or remembering things incorrectly.
König began to suspect that something was wrong when he'd hear his operators say the same sentence word for word. He rationalised that the constant shooting that never ceased even late into the night and dangerous missions that left him with far too many close calls put pressure on his mind. This mania amongst soldiers in the military was a common phenomenon after all, so it shouldn't have been as much of a surprise for König when he felt waves of déjà vu at hearing statements he could have sworn were related to him before at one point, and going to infiltrate areas that were vaguely familiar.
At some point, he thought something was REALLY wrong when he was storming a military base with... a sniper rifle.
Time stood still as he inspected the weapon in his hands, eyes wide.
That... was impossible. He had never been a sniper. True, he had wanted to be one from the beginning, yet he had adapted to his role as the main means of assault, always on the offensive rather on the defensive. So then... Why?
Adding to that, his appearance would differ. They were subtle changes at first, yet still noticeable: a red helmet instead of his black; an ochre hood instead of his black veil with its signature red streaks; a sniper camoflauge when that disguise had never been in his possession before; and even a gas mask with a hazmat suit when he had been wearing something else altogether on the helicopter heading towards its destination.
Although König hadn't know it yet, his reality was slowly shattering along the cracks, but he stubbornly fought the gnawing feeling that ate him up from the inside. He had to stay focused, he repeated to himself. No time to ponder when a task was at hand.
"All units ready your weapons, and in position immediately." Through his walkie-talkie, a voice began counting down the time left before the mission would begin. "60 seconds."
König checked all of his gear, making sure that everything was in place and he was fully equipped. A rifle, a side-arm, ammo, grenades, a med kit for an emergency and a knife. "40 seconds."
Looking up into the sky and straight into the sun, he didn't need to cover his sight as his eyes weren't affected by it at all. Yet, his eyes squinted in confusion, sensing that he was seeing something that he wasn't meant to see behind the glowing eye. "20 seconds."
He saw more than an eye. An ear, a nose, then a mouth. A face.
He saw you.
You were looking at him through a screen, holding a controller and waiting to start playing your game.
His reality shattered all at once, and he stumbled on his feet, unable to regain his balance, feeling himself go weak in the knees. He tuned out the all-important seconds through the communication device, unable to compose himself as for the first time ever he struggled to breathe.
Suddenly, all of it made sense.
People telling him the same things and never deviating from the topic of the mission, the reawakenings, the pain insensitivity — all of it was because none of it was never real.
People never branched off into other topics of conversation because their sole existence was limited to a few hand-selected voiceliness and idle animations. With each upgrade and level up, König had gotten praise from from him superiors, which explained how emotionless their announcements always sounded and why they were so constant.
The frequent brushes with death weren't a matter of luck, and instead it was just his entity respawning until a certain condition was met, until either Kortac or Specgru came out victorious — otherwise, he could "die" as many times as it took until the time ran out.
He was unfazed by bullets that grazed him and knives that tore though his flesh as he could physically feel no pain, his very existence artificial, his skin composed of pixels with no human matter hidden beneath them.
And, his inability to trace back to before he was transferred to Kortac was all because it was all he was programmed to know. There was no childhood. There was no Mama or Papa. It was just him in this world, and he had been manufactured, his thoughts and behaviours fabricated.
For a moment, he considered you the creator of his word, his God, and felt forsaken. He wanted to curse you, to snap your neck in his hands and watch your head drop lifelessly in his hold.
Yet it became apparent that you weren't the one behind this realm. Seeing the headphones strapped to your head and the controller held in anticipation in your hands, you were simply indulging in a past time, and weren't to blame for his state in any way. It wasn't your fault that you were unknowingly playing as a König trapped in the game.
You let out a groan of frustration, mashing buttons on your controller in an attempt to get König to move.
"What the fuck is going on?!" You hissed, trying in any way you could to start playing. Checking your router and the game's ping, you saw that your connection was secure, and that there was no reason for König to be frozen in place. "Fucking piece of shit console."
König shook his head, still disbelieving and unable to accept his fictional reality, yet hearing the sound of your voice made everything an even tougher pill to swallow. He had to stay in character. For you; it was the least that he could do.
After the initial lag at the beginning of the match, the game went smoothly and you couldn't find any faults. However, you suddenly noticed that your movements over König improved, moving with more fluidity and suddenly taking less damage than what you would normally use to. Headshot after headshot and kills all of the time poured onto on your screen until you'd find yourself being ganged up by bitter players wanting to ruin your streak as revenge.
Still, you topped the leaderboards with a new personal record that night. 97 kills to 0 deaths flashed on your screen, and you jumped up from your gaming chair, ecstatic, almost knocking it over in the process.
König felt butterflies in his stomach seeing you smile and jump around excitedly, and that's when he had found his purpose.
From that moment on, you became his lifeline. You gave the unfeeling König something to live for, a motive to keep fighting that he hadn't been given when being created in the game — for you and your greater good.
Really, you made him feel things: made him feel alive; made him fight with more passion and determination when your happiness was on the line.
He fell... In love.
The feelings and emotions he felt in his chest chest were genuine, and weren't pre-written in a script or manipulated by a third-party. Even the bullets that would pierce through his gear and leave him on the ground withering in agony was worth it, and he'd exchange his invincibility any day to feel what he felt when he saw your face, and the smile that tugged at your lips when you were revived or got a difficult kill.
His love for you was immortal, and it would persist through generations and could last for a lifetime, and König was almost certain that you could feel all of his energy channelling through your TV.
He found himself lovingly staring at you through the screen, admiring you as if you were an ephemeral being, a beautiful angel, even when your hair was greasy, your old tee had armpit stains and your eyes were bloodshot from how long you had been playing. Really, none of that put König off — if anything, all of those made you so distinctly you, so human.
Yet, König was in love with someone that was practically in another dimension and he would never speak to them, never touch them, never share thoughts and pass the time doing everything and nothing with them. None of that, because he wasn't real.
Had his life improved now they he had grown self-awareness? Had his ignorance really been bliss before his revelation? Perhaps if he had been another NPC that only gained manipulated consciousness whenever the player spawned in the map he wouldn't be so stricken with grief and crouched over in agony, the knuckles on his hands turning white from how fervently he was gripping his mask. He'd hyperventilate off-screen, sometimes the torment being too much.
Being so close to you yet being restricted to his three-dimensional world was bittersweet at the least, and internal suffering at most. His insatiable craving to be with you, and you with him only, fuelled his desperation, and he tried to keep you with him for as long as possible through any means necessary.
When you selected an operator that wasn't König, your game glitched heavily and would even crash whenever you made the mistake of even complimenting their design, and God forbid whenever you tried to play as someone other than him, as your console would near explode.
When you'd boot up a different game on your PlayStation, your loading screen would suddenly transport you back to the one of MW2, König greeting you with a voiceline that he reserved and perfected just for you:
"Welcome back, schatz. I have been waiting for you." Because he treasured you, and you were the only person that he could ever have feelings for.
Perhaps a recent update was fucking up your console, or it was just malfunctiong due to age. Either way, playing on an eight year old PS4 meant it could only run for so long and glitches like this were inevitable, yet you persisted in keeping the console running, not in your budget to afford to upgrade.
You'd search frantically on the internet for any information about the new König voicelines and whether there was any resolution for your problem when playing CoD, something telling you that your game was not functioning in the way that it should.
A thought crossed your mind that König had gone rogue, and you tried to laugh it off. Swallowing thickly, that still didn't relieve the deep pit in your stomach. If anything, the mere idea made it worse for you, and you'd get an intense gut feeling that would make you feel dizzy whenever König would make eyes contact with you and stand there, making you question whether he was acting out of character or not.
His attempts to keep you with him were commendable, yet none of it could change the fact that it would never be anything more than one-sided pining, a deep longing for a person whose world kept spinning while his stopped once you logged off the game, his day ending abruptly and being consumed by darkness.
For now, König had to content himself with being stuck behind a screen. He wished so desperately to be able to touch you, to escape this human generated world that trapped him in these bounds, and to find who he really is when with you. Shrouded in this deep black void, all he could do was wait patiently until you'd boot up the game again.
A hand was placed on his side of the screen longingly, resting it gently on the face on the other side.
Note: this wasn't meant to be so sad ,how did an idea of König popping out from the screen turnvto this 😭😭

Hi.. ok let me just be straight about this because I'm bad at talking tbh but hi, i love your azul and vil angst siblings thing a lot since i love angst and you write angst so beautifully, so i wish to request sibling angst for leona, riddle or idia (preferably leona but you can choose btw) thanks for reading this and if you don't want to do it thats fine bestie<33
—🃏 𝐀𝐍𝐎𝐍
(a new one if someone hasn't taken 🃏 Anon yet)
Thank you so much 🃏 anon! It really warms my heart to hear that. I'll happily write more! This one is going to be for Leona since I already wrote one for Riddle and Idia's will be written soon
I can't decide if I like this one as much as some of my other ones...let me know what you guys think
Request rules and Masterlists
Broken Sibling relationships
Leona as a sibling (Broken relationship)
the third child of the Kingscholar family
that's what you are
that's what you're known as
the third, and least important child of the Kingscholar family
ever since you were a child, that became clear
your two big brothers carried much more importance
mostly the oldest, Falena
anytime gifts were given to the three of you, there would be a clear order of things
Falena always got the biggest and best gifts
Leona got the second best every time
and you got whatever was left
that is, if there was anything left
there have been many times where there would only be enough for your brothers
that or one of them took extra and you were left with nothing
since you were born last, you had to be the one left with their scraps
last...
that word alone pretty much describes your life
it was a constant theme that you were reminded of day after day
playing games with your older brothers was always fun
as long as the game didn't involve the players being first, second, or third
those games would always end the same
Falena was very talented, so wins and first place was almost always handed to him naturally
Leona would always try as hard as he could to beat Falena, but always had to settle for second
and you never had any chance trying to catch up to their abilities
they were much older, and much better at games
so you would always be deemed last place or the loser of every game
and after each game, the servants would talk
"Did you see? Prince Leona got second place again. He's no match for Prince Falena. He never wins against him."
"Yeah, well at least Leona can keep up with Falena and put up a bit of a fight."
"That's true. Last place is where the weakest belong."
they were right
in beastman culture, last place is for the weakest
and in a lions pride, weaker children can be left behind to fend for themselves
that's the last thing you want
so you tried not to let what they said get to you, and continued playing games with your brothers
as long as you were with your brothers, they wouldn't leave you behind
Falena was always super happy to involve you in whatever he was doing
Leona...was less enthusiastic
most of the time it didn't seem like he cared
if you wanted to spend time with Leona, you had to ask him and set everything up yourself just for him to put in minimal effort or fall asleep halfway through
it was hard to feel like he didn't consider it a waste of his time
you'd keep trying, but it never made much of a difference with him
eventually, Falena was crowned king and even got married and had a kid
so he had other, more important things to do than spend time with you
it was heartbreaking, but it's not like you could spend much time with him anyway since you were going to Night Raven College
but at least Leona was still at the school with you
you two were even in Savanaclaw together
you had hoped that you could still spend a little bit of time with Leona since you no longer had Falena to hang out with
but he no longer had time for you
whenever you asked about hanging out with him or playing a game of chess (which you know he loves), he would always say he was busy
and most of the time that was a complete lie
everyone in the dorm knows he spends most of his time sleeping
the only times he wasn't sleeping was when he was practicing spelldrive
you were starting to get tired of asking and getting turned down each time
so, you decided to ask one last time
it was later in the day when you found him by Savanaclaw's pool
a nice relaxing environment meant he would be in a better mood
but you knew better than to get your hopes up
you asked if he was up for a game of chess and even offered to set it up
and all you got in response was a no
of course he would turn you away again
that's all he did
you just had to ask
"Why? Why do you always say no?"
he let out a deep sigh
"Because I don't want to waste my time on weaklings."
there it was
he only sees you as a weakling, and not worth his time
somewhere along the way, he had already left you behind
and you never realized it
Leona was the only one that had time for you anymore, but he doesn't even want to spend it with you
the weakest one has been left behind to fend for themselves
you stopped trying with Leona after that
if you were being honest, the only reason you kept trying for so long was because he was the only one you had left
but that's over now and you're on your own
occasionally you would see him around Savanaclaw and pass by him, but he never even glanced your way
it was almost like you didn't even exist to him
you might as well not have been a Kingscholar anymore
but then you started seeing him around less
the spelldrive tournament was around the corner, he was most likely practicing
you used to go watch him as he played and cheer him on
...but he probably doesn't want you there anymore
actually, you could probably go to watch the other teams
Leona probably wouldn't notice if you were there anyway
Diasomnia has been playing very well these past few years, so it might be fun to watch them
so on the day of the tournament, you went to watch the games
since Diasomnia won last year, they would be up for the first game
but as the announcer started to introduce Diasomnia onto the field, the crowd around you started acting up and rushing towards the team
it was mass panic and everyone was screaming and stampeding towards the entrance of the coliseum
you got up and started to move with them, against your own will
no matter how much you tried to fight it, your body seemed to move on it's own
but you've been in Savanaclaw long enough to know who's magic this is
how Ruggie was able to control and entire stadium of people, you had no idea
but you turned to try and get back into the coliseum as soon as the spell wore off
the crowd was thick and it was hard to push through, but you had to
if the people were all being herded like sheep, something bad is happening
as you pushed through, a heavy aura of magic flooded the air
someone was certainly using a lot of magic in there
you finally made it to the entrance of the coliseum
standing in the field was Leona covering in blot and fighting many Heartslabyul students
even now, he was looking down upon everyone in front of him with such hatred and anger
not even Ruggie was spared from his attacks
but you got there just as the battle was ending, and Leona was defeated
the blot left his system and he collapsed to the ground
he was fine
for a brief moment, Ruggie saw you and stared
but Leona wouldn't want you here, even now
so you left without a word
you didn't end up going back to the tournament after that, but it went well from what you heard
Savanaclaw even made it pretty far considering everything that happened
Cheka ended up finding you after it all and you got to play with the little cub
to be honest it was a lot of fun, probably the most you've had in a while
sadly, he left you after a while to go find Leona
the days followed after that were pretty normal
...except for the fact that Ruggie was following you around more
he watched whatever you did throughout the day, and then left
but the one day he didn't follow you, you found Leona waiting for you in Savanaclaw with a chess game set up, and waiting for another player

Give Thanks to the LORD, for He is Good
1 Thank the Lord because he is good. His love continues forever. 2 That is what the people the Lord has saved should say. They are the ones he has saved from the enemy. 3 He has gathered them from other lands, from east and west, north and south.
4 Some people had wandered in the desert lands. They found no city to live in. 5 They were hungry and thirsty. They were discouraged. 6 In their misery they cried out to the Lord. And he saved them from their troubles. 7 He led them on a straight road to a city where they could live. 8 Let them give thanks to the Lord for his love and for the miracles he does for people. 9 He satisfies the thirsty. He fills up the hungry.
10 Some sat in gloom and darkness. They were prisoners suffering in chains. 11 They had turned against the words of God. They had refused the advice of God Most High. 12 So he broke their pride by hard work. They stumbled, and no one helped. 13 In their misery they cried out to the Lord. And he saved them from their troubles. 14 He brought them out of their gloom and darkness. He broke their chains. 15 Let them give thanks to the Lord for his love and for the miracles he does for people. 16 He breaks down bronze gates. And he cuts apart iron bars.
17 Some became fools who turned against God. They suffered for the evil they did. 18 They refused to eat anything. So they almost died. 19 In their misery they cried out to the Lord. And he saved them from their troubles. 20 God gave the command and healed them. So they were saved from dying. 21 Let them give thanks to the Lord for his love and for the miracles he does for people. 22 Let them offer sacrifices to thank him. With joy they should tell what he has done.
23 Others went out to sea in ships. They did business on the great oceans. 24 They saw what the Lord could do. They saw the miracles he did. 25 He spoke, and a storm came up. It blew up high waves. 26 The ships tossed as high as the sky and fell low in the waves. The storm was so bad the men lost their courage. 27 They stumbled and fell like men who were drunk. They did not know what to do. 28 In their misery they cried out to the Lord. And he saved them from their troubles. 29 He made the storm be still. He calmed the waves. 30 They were happy that it was quiet. And God guided them to the port they wanted. 31 Let them give thanks to the Lord for his love and for the miracles he does for people. 32 Let them praise his greatness in the meeting of the people. They should praise him in the meeting of the elders.
33 He changed rivers into a desert, and springs of water into dry ground. 34 He made fertile land salty because the people there did evil. 35 He changed the desert into pools of water and dry ground into springs of water. 36 He had the hungry settle there. They built a city to live in. 37 They planted seeds in the fields and vineyards. And they had a good harvest. 38 God blessed them, and they grew in number. Their cattle did not become fewer.
39 Because of disaster, troubles and sadness, their families grew smaller and weaker. 40 He showed he was displeased with their important men. He made them wander in a pathless desert. 41 But he lifted the poor out of their suffering. And he made their families grow like flocks of sheep. 42 Good people see this and are happy. But the wicked say nothing.
43 Whoever is wise will remember these things. He will think about the love of the Lord. — Psalm 107 | International Children’s Bible (ICB) The Holy Bible, International Children’s Bible® Copyright© 1986, 1988, 1999, 2015 by Thomas Nelson.

hello! I just finished reading the most recent chapter of your Hermitcraft Coffee Co. fic, and I would LOVE to see the deleted scenes you mentioned in the notes at the beginning of the chapter! I'm loving this AU btw, it's so good! :))
Hi Hi Hi!!!! Just to let you know, I am vibrating with exitement because of this. LET ME FETCH ONE.
AND THANK YOU FOR ENJOYING THE FIC THAT MAKES ME SO HAPPY. :D <33
The Hermit Coffee Co. Chapter 10 Deleted Scene: Short King Squad
“Oh, sorry, my bad, my bad,” he says, and then leans into Mumbo and stage-whispers, “Jeez, these nerdy frat boys are so sensitive.”  
Mumbo slides his gaze towards Grian, to find the man staring back with mischief. 
“I’m not going to bite, G,” he says, causing Grian to break out in a delighted grin.
“Oh, but you want to,” Grian teases. “And that’s almost just as good.”
Mumbo rolls his eyes, which makes Grian laugh again and both are too distracted by each other to notice the look that Tango and Impulse exchange.
[CUT]
Tango reaches over and takes his phone back. “I sketched them up last night after work. It was actually Grian here that inspired me with his little…” Tango wiggled his fingers in the direction of Grian’s wrist. “Friendship bracelet.”
Grian’s expression sours and he tucks both hands under the table. “It’s not a friendship bracelet.”
“But you do match with Jimmy and Joel, don’t you?” Mumbo asks, pressing a finger to his chin. Grian’s eyes glint and the corner of his lips twitch in amusement.
It makes things easier again and the discomfort in Mumbo subsides a little.
Tango is wearing a joyous smile at this interaction. “Aka, bracelets that signify your friendship, also known as… friendship bracelets.”
Grian huffs and rolls his eyes, which makes Mumbo chuckle in delight. Without much prior thought, Mumbo snakes his arm around Grian’s shoulders and pulls him into his side for a brief squeeze.
“It's okay, G, the friendship bracelet isn't embarrassing,” Mumbo says, ruffling his hand through Grian’s mop of styled chestnut locks. “It’s the fact that it says Bad Boy that really makes people cringe.”
Grian cackles at that and Mumbo feels a warm surge of pride, even when Grian pushes him off.
Tango clicks his tongue.
“Actually, Mumbo, Grian, I think you’ll find that cringe culture is dead and the concept of “coolness” is a social construction that exists within the insecure to alienate others."
Impulse takes a sip of his beer and shrugs one shoulder.
“I don’t know, T, that sounds a little like an argument someone uncool might make.”
Grian snickers and Tango points an orange painted fingernail in Impulse’s direction. He grins and says, “Be quiet, or no hoodie for you.”
Impulse mimes locking his lips.
“Careful, mate,” Mumbo says with a wink and returns his arm to resting comfortably on the back of Grian’s chair. “You don't want your custom nerd hoodie on the line.”
“It’s cool to be a nerd now, actually,” Tango mutters, folding his napkin into a neatly tucked triangle.
Zedaph pats his shoulder. “Don’t worry, T, you're almost 30. You don't have to worry about being cool anymore.”
Tango grimaces. “I’m 27! That's not almost 30.”
Grian mock-gasps. “Woah, I didn't realise you were so old, Tango. You don’t look a day over 15.”
Having just taken a sip of his drink, Mumbo quickly brings a hand to his mouth to stop himself from spitting it out or choking.
“When’s your growth spurt due, by the way?” Grian asks and Zedaph barks a laugh at that.
Tango, clearly enjoying himself, jabs an accusing finger in Grian’s direction. “Hey now, don't you start. Where’s your step-stool, shorty?”
“Oh, I leant it to Bdubs.”
“I HEARD THAT,” comes a shout from the other end of the table and that draws a pure cackle of delight from Tango.
“Nice one, G,” he says, swiping a finger across his lower lid, before holding his fist out to Grian.
After the briefest hesitation, Grian leans forward across Mumbo and brushes his knuckles against Tango’s.
He doesn't sit quite so far back on his return and ends up neatly tucked up against Mumbo’s side.
[END]
It's not super polished, but I did enjoy writing Grian and Tango joining forces to bully Bdubs, so I'm very glad you asked to see it :D I hope you enjoyed it!
Thank you for stopping by, it means a lot to me! <3

coordinating couple outfits get to me. it doesn't have to be super matching but the fact that their outfits go so WELL together and you can tell that it's a set legit burns a flame in my heart.
anyway, i want to share more fluff. family pictures/portraits in chasing the mirage because the mental image of cyno having a picture of him, tighnari, reader, collei, and karkata on him at all times kills me sweetly and softly. tighnari, king of having dedicated flowers for each family member so they know for whomst the specific flowers bloom. imagine them all helping out with dinner and other domestic chores.
scara raising a death flag but conquering it (the yae incident) with his locket with a picture or drawing of puppet reader or even a small note they wrote to him (like their first time writing his name). and him becoming a fulltime doting and dutiful husband is hilarious because it occurs over time as they travelled that it's just second nature to him now. (just don't look at the garlic knot family tree) sweet to puppet reader only. puppet reader mending his clothes or trying their hand at making things for him. ugh. lil snow bunnies in winter instead of snowmen and gosh, what if they have their own secret code and leave notes or messages for each other...
actually i will confess that i kinda have been thinking about chasing the mirage and kintsugi occurring in the same timeline because i wanted to draw hearts all over sumeru and it'd be such a pretty wedding and honeymoon destination.
i think i've bothered you enough with all my fluffy thoughts, lol. thank you for taking the time to respond.
Please hngh I like to imagine that puppet reader adapted Scara's old color palette and clothing patterns as a sign of turning over a new leaf, while Scara adapted the more prominent gold in his new fit for them *looking at the gold casing over his heart*
And the family portrait aaaaaa it's so cute (even though I don't know even know where he hides it), and the flowers too! I love the idea that they already act like a happy family despite only being on boyfriend levels, and Karkata my beloved is also part of the family hnghgn oh this reminded me I do actually have a scenario of them being domestic hmm *looks at alphabet series* I'll save it for now <33
A drawing hngh a drawing would be so cute, maybe he commissioned it at some point so it looks stunning! Maybe the reader signed it too with nice words so that he can look at it on the rare times they're away from each other. And mending his clothes? Also cute, Scara would laugh endearingly at how messy the stitches are here and there, but he wears it with pride like a dad putting his child's drawing on the fridge kind of pride. And yes they do have a secret code, but it's more nonverbal communication (like the hand taps and fan language, omg folding fan language)
I can say that they certainly do exist in the same universe buuut *hums* Without spoiling too much, Chase The Mirage occurs before the Sumeru archon quest
And please don't think you've bothered me, I love these, I live for these! Although with your amazing streak, you might be vying for the fluff anon title haha

yooo i LOVED the aot boys and their favorite body parts of yours. <3 i saw that you were thinking of doing a part 2 to it and was wondering if you could do Erwin & mike/Miche for it? :)
aot boys and their favorite body part of yours pt. 2
Tumblr media
ft. erwin and miche
genre: sfw/nsfw | hcs
warnings: 18+, lots of body parts (f. oriented), smut
a/n: ahh omgomg im so glad you liked it!! also i freaked out when i saw your message because this is my first request !! akjshdsj here you go nonnie <33
connie and erens version
Tumblr media
☆ ERWIN is literally the most respectful man ever. He KNOWS how to treat you right and can never even think about giving you less than what you deserve. He’s honestly so in love with every part of you already… but you would be exaggerating if you said that he worships your hips and waist. You definitely can’t deny noticing the extra attention he gives them.
Whenever you two are out, one hand will always be wrapped around your waist, holding you tightly to his side. He’s not exactly the possessive type, but he’d be lying if he said that he doesn’t take pride in knowing that other people can clearly see you two together, with his strong arms wrapped around your body. He’ll never get sick of the feeling of your body pressed close to his no matter where you are. You’ve even started to expect the firm hand on your lower back in crowded areas. Never pushing you, but always guiding you so you’re not pulled away from him. It’s comforting, you feel so safe when he’s around, never having to worry about losing him in any circumstance.
When he kisses you, there’s always a fire behind it. It’s dizzying, your mind hazy from the way his lips feel against yours while his hands continue to explore your body. Down your sides, over your hips, around your back, all while pulling you in closer to deepen the kiss.
When he finally undresses you for the night, he lowers down until he’s on his knees. He kisses your hipbones and ghosts his hands over the smooth expanse of your stomach. As he finally lays you down on the bed, he swears he’ll never tire from the sight of you spread out for him. His hands never cease its travels over your skin. He continues to kiss down your abdomen, carving a path to where you need him the most. As his tongue finally runs through your folds and dip into your center, you feel his palms pressing down on your hips, holding you down and making sure you don’t squirm away.
If you’re on all fours, one hand has a bruising grip on your hip while the other is pushing your back to see you arch. after you both finally come down from your high, he’s sure to place kisses on your lower back and hips which always give you butterflies in your stomach. He’s literally the king of aftercare, you always feel loved and cared for when you’re with him.
Although he’s good with words, he still prefers showing you his love. So if you’re feeling sore or tired after a long day, he will not hesitate in giving you a massage. At this point you don’t even know if the massage is making you or him feel better. His skilled hands know just how much pressure you need to relieve the tension in your back, your mind going blank from the way his hands roam and knead the stress away from your hips.
But, if you want to make his mind go blank, all you have to do is sit on his lap. He will literally lose the ability to think of any rational thoughts. If he was talking to someone before, he’s now struggling to remember why they were there in the first place. It’s a battle of his will at this point, he’s so close to giving up any type of public decency just so he can touch your body, so pretty sitting on his lap.
This man is just so whipped for you and wants to make sure you know that ... just let him hold you and he swears he’ll be happy forever.
☆ MICHE. you can tell just from one look that he treats you so well. He already loves every single part of you but he absolutely LOSES his mind when it comes to your thighs. Just look at him, he’s definitely a thigh man.
His favorite way to relax is by laying his head on your lap, using it as a pillow. Says that they’re comfier than the actual bed and will make him sleep better. He likes to run his thumb gently over the skin, then tickle you to hear your laughter, but will actually fall asleep if you start running your hands through his hair.
he likes to push you up against the wall when you kiss, his tongue dipping inside your mouth. Will run his hands over your thighs to feel you, and forgets his name the moment you wrap your legs around his waist.
He brings you to the bed and will worship your thighs. He goes light headed when he hears the sounds you make as he teases you by paying more attention to your thighs, purposely leaving the place where you want him the most untouched. Spreads a trail of feather kisses across your legs and leaves so many marks in his wake. It’s come to the point where you have to remind him to lighten up just so you can wear shorts again.
As much as he wants to listen to you, he can’t. He’s captivated by how lush and pliant they are under his hands. Will squeeze and trail his fingers up just to see you throw your head back from the tingles that shoot up your spine. He finds them too pretty not to mark up, and secretly thinks they’re more attractive after seeing the dark spots he’s left.
None of that compares, however, to the moment when you wrap your thighs around his head. He swears that he could die like this, that he could happily be suffocated between your thighs if it meant seeing you get lost in pleasure.
When he finally pushes his cock into you, his mind goes blank again when you wrap your thighs around him. Swears that he can’t get enough of you, that he’ll never get enough as he pounds roughly into you. If you cant handle the overstimulation, he’ll shyly ask if he can continue by thigh fucking you. You agree of course, not wanting to leave him unsatisfied, but greatly underestimating how intoxicating it would feel whenever his tip would catch your clit, he doesn’t notice however, too wrapped up in how your thighs squeeze him just right, finally sending him over the edge.
At night, when you’re in each other’s arms, he’ll mindlessly stroke your thigh that's thrown over his body. If you’re insecure about any stretch marks he will trace them and give them even more love. If you don’t care about them, or choose to just ignore them, then he’ll do just that.
He just wants to show you how much he loves you and finds your thighs too attractive to not do anything about it.
Tumblr media

Hey so I've had this in my head for the longest and wanted to know if you could write it!! <33
So basically the demon brothers hear mc talking about their respective sins and cheering them on but they aren't doing anything worth cheering on at the moment to the walk into mc's room and see them losing there mind while watching Seven deadly sins the anime and there responses and stuffs to it! Ok thank you I hope you have a good day, love youu❤❤
Omg my first ask! And I absolutely love this idea so much. SDS was lowkey my obsession a couple years ago so I’m totally down. 
Lucifer - Escanor 
Feels a huge surge of Pride at the thought of you praising him for absolutely nothing
He’ll never admit that though, but it’s totally obvious he enjoys it 
So he’s very appalled when he walks into your room only to find you watching some anime
Has you explain all of the lore and how they portray the sins (particularly his) 
Judges both you and the anime 
Dislikes how the sin of Pride was represented through Escanor, and will make his distaste known
Suggests that you should instead give praise to the real sin of Pride standing in front of you 
Mammon - Ban
Gets flustered at the thought of you cheering him on for absolutely no reason
After all, random praise after a long day of insults works wonders for him 
Crushed when he realizes you’re just cheering for some stupid anime character instead of him
Questions why you’d pay attention to a fictional version of Greed when the real thing is just so much better
Actually sits down with you and watched the anime to see what all the fuss is about
Ban does eventually grow on him, and he now understands why you like the anime so much 
Leviathan - Diane
Let’s be real here, he probably already knows what Seven Deadly Sins is
So he isn’t all that surprised 
Still kinda upset that you’re cheering on Diane instead of him though
That pesky jealousy really shines through at the worst times, doesn’t it?
After getting over the initial Envy he feels, he offers to sit down and watch SDS with you for a while
Secretly hopes you’ll cheer him on someday like you do Diane 
Satan - Meliodas
Is a bit concerned when he hears you cheering about how wonderful Wrath is 
He doesn’t think that’s something worth celebrating
Still flattered you’d cheer for him like that over nothing
Then he walks into your room and sees you’re just watching an anime
Probably the least disappointed out of all the brothers 
He too understands just how hyped up one can get over their favorite characters
Asks if he can sit and watch some with you and finds that he quite likes Meliodas after a couple episodes 
Asmodeus - Gowther
Of course you’d be cheering him on for no reason 
You don’t need a reason when h’s as fabulous as, well, himself 
Walks into your room to give you a reward for such praises only to see you getting all excited over some anime
He’s not super into anime, so he doesn’t understand why you’re getting this happy over it
Especially since the character you are all excited over doesn’t even seem all that cool
Another brother to judge you and your choices 
Tries to drag you away to show you some real fun (his words) 
Beelzebub - Merlin
He’s honestly just confused 
I mean, he’s not one to turn down praise from his favorite human, but this seems like a bit much
Then he walks into your room and everything starts to make sense
Oh, so you’re cheering on a character you like
He can understand that
Often cheers about food cause he gets excited about it
Goes to grab some snacks and comes back to watch with you
Thinks that Merlin is super cool since she’s so smart 
And likes that the show represented Gluttony in a form that’s less common 
Belphegor - King 
Came in to tease you about being such a simp for him lol
Secretly upset to see you’re just watching some anime Levi probably suggested to you
Doesn’t even say anything
Just flops down next to you and rests his head on your shoulder
Now you’re his new pillow and you cannot escape 
In moments when he is awake and watching, he doesn’t mind King all that much
In fact, he can kinda relate to King once the plot with his sister starts up
Might cry a bit watching that part, but you didn’t see anything 
Ok, that was a lot harder than I thought it would be. But I still had a lot of fun writing it. I really hope you enjoy and that I delivered what you asked.

Give Thanks to the LORD, for He is Good
1 Thank the Lord because he is good.    His love continues forever. 2 That is what the people the Lord has saved should say.    They are the ones he has saved from the enemy. 3 He has gathered them from other lands,    from east and west, north and south.
4 Some people had wandered in the desert lands.    They found no city to live in. 5 They were hungry and thirsty.    They were discouraged. 6 In their misery they cried out to the Lord.    And he saved them from their troubles. 7 He led them on a straight road    to a city where they could live. 8 Let them give thanks to the Lord for his love    and for the miracles he does for people. 9 He satisfies the thirsty.    He fills up the hungry.
10 Some sat in gloom and darkness.    They were prisoners suffering in chains. 11 They had turned against the words of God.    They had refused the advice of God Most High. 12 So he broke their pride by hard work.    They stumbled, and no one helped. 13 In their misery they cried out to the Lord.    And he saved them from their troubles. 14 He brought them out of their gloom and darkness.    He broke their chains. 15 Let them give thanks to the Lord for his love    and for the miracles he does for people. 16 He breaks down bronze gates.    And he cuts apart iron bars.
17 Some became fools who turned against God.    They suffered for the evil they did. 18 They refused to eat anything.    So they almost died. 19 In their misery they cried out to the Lord.    And he saved them from their troubles. 20 God gave the command and healed them.    So they were saved from dying. 21 Let them give thanks to the Lord for his love    and for the miracles he does for people. 22 Let them offer sacrifices to thank him.    With joy they should tell what he has done.
23 Others went out to sea in ships.    They did business on the great oceans. 24 They saw what the Lord could do.    They saw the miracles he did. 25 He spoke, and a storm came up.    It blew up high waves. 26 The ships tossed as high as the sky and fell low in the waves.    The storm was so bad the men lost their courage. 27 They stumbled and fell like men who were drunk.    They did not know what to do. 28 In their misery they cried out to the Lord.    And he saved them from their troubles. 29 He made the storm be still.    He calmed the waves. 30 They were happy that it was quiet.    And God guided them to the port they wanted. 31 Let them give thanks to the Lord for his love    and for the miracles he does for people. 32 Let them praise his greatness in the meeting of the people.    They should praise him in the meeting of the elders.
33 He changed rivers into a desert,    and springs of water into dry ground. 34 He made fertile land salty    because the people there did evil. 35 He changed the desert into pools of water    and dry ground into springs of water. 36 He had the hungry settle there.    They built a city to live in. 37 They planted seeds in the fields and vineyards.    And they had a good harvest. 38 God blessed them, and they grew in number.    Their cattle did not become fewer.
39 Because of disaster, troubles and sadness,    their families grew smaller and weaker. 40 He showed he was displeased with their important men.    He made them wander in a pathless desert. 41 But he lifted the poor out of their suffering.    And he made their families grow like flocks of sheep. 42 Good people see this and are happy.    But the wicked say nothing.
43 Whoever is wise will remember these things.    He will think about the love of the Lord. — Psalm 107 | International Children’s Bible (ICB) The Holy Bible, International Children’s Bible® Copyright© 1986, 1988, 1999, 2015 by Thomas Nelson.

Since you did one for bakugo and todoroki what about kirishima and bakugo crushing on the same girl!
OH MY GAWD LMAO HI QUI BB<33 yes I would very much like to see this happen let’s see 👀 thank you for the request bb
The Bakugo and Todoroki one
Bakugo and Kirishima crushing on the same girl
Tumblr media
There are two routes below so you can choose between the boys as well
Tumblr media
Kirishima is quick to realize his feelings for you and also quick to figure out that his bestfriend feels the same way even though Bakugo doesn’t realize it himself
But Bakugo still gets jealous when he sees you hanging around Kirishima but doesn’t want to say anything and honestly, doesn’t understand why
Exhibit A: Kirishima is often seen asking you for tips to train together which led to the two of you becoming best friends which by default, makes you Bakugo’s sort-of friend and the latter admires your strength
Exhibit B: You’re the only person to have ever yelled at Bakugo for not being on his game and ultimately earning the respect of king murder explosion and the giant laugh from Kirishima
Exhibit C: during the class’s practice to slow dance for All Night’s retirement party, you were paired with Kirishima and he stepped on your toes so many times he suggested that he wasn’t cut out for this fancy smancy dancing thing but you just laughed it off and twirled him around
Exhibit D: Bakugo likes that you’re smart which leads to many, many study dates at random diners and he has to hold himself from hitting your head with the notebook like he did with Kirishima because he genuinely wants you to like him
But honestly the worst part is that the whole class knows about their love for you and they’re worried because they don’t want this to affect Bakugo and Kirishima’s friendship
Mina has pushed you to choose one or the other but it just wasn’t right yet, especially when you didn’t know who to choose
You three have done missions together with both the boys willing to risk their lives for you because it’s just a habit and an instinctual reaction for them
It’s made them selfless, ready to give you to their best friend if that would make you happy and still willing to be your confidante until you no longer need them
And after you realize this, you know that it’s time to choose...
Kirishima Route
It was time for All Might’s retirement party and everyone was dressed up in their fancy gowns and tidy suits but all Kirishima could see was you... in your gorgeous dress but what made it so gorgeous was your confident strut down the steps, eyes matching your fiery light
He’s so silly, he thought. How could someone as radiant as you ever choose someone as bland as him?
But when you’re making your way over to him and smiling at him, he knew that tonight would be ingrained into his mind forever
“So twinkle toes, are you ready to step on my toes again?�� You ask, snickering as he turns a million shades of red
“Hey I’ve practiced since then!!” He defends himself before pulling you into a dance and he didn’t step on your toes once (jk he stepped on them a couple times but better than the practice)
The two of you bump into Bakugo and Ururaka dancing and he glares at Kirishima intensely before saying “you were the better man... this time. BUT JUST YOU WAIT IM GONNA BEAT YOU NEXT TIME—“
Bakugou Route
If he had a dollar for everytime he missed the chance to call you beautiful when he’s thinking it, he’d be a millionaire
But he won’t let the chance slip away again, keeping that thought in mind as he watches you descend the staircase to All Might’s retirement party
You easily outshine the others in his eyes, and he loses all arrogant pride as he marches up to you, hand outstretched for a dance
You happily accept knowing full well this was Bakugo’s way of finally accepting his feelings for you... and yours for him
His scowling face and disinterested glance didn’t get to you but you were surprised when his hold on you tightened after seeing Kirishima approach the two of you
Kirishima affectionately yet aggressively pats Bakugo on the back and he swears he sees Kiri’s eyes deflate a little at the sight of you
“Treat her well, ok? She’s worth it.”
“You act like I don’t know that,” Bakugo grumbles back and Kirishima and you almost miss it but luckily you didn’t
Because now you know you were blessed with an angry, blond boy

Hey boo. I see your requests are open and I would love another medieval Bucky if you're vibing. Maybe something simple like Bucky cornering our reader in the corridor during a banquet and taking advantage of the distraction of the celebrations? Anyways, love you and your wonderful work.
❝ Forbidden Fruit
summary: as you mourn for the love of your life, unbeknownst to you, you catch the king’s eye.
pairings: dark king!Bucky x black!reader / former village witch!Wanda Maximoff x black!reader
Warnings: dub non-con, murder, choking, breeding .. ya know the whore vibes.
A/N: Requested by Roo, aka my wife — historical smut is our mutual kink. <3 another medieval Bucky?! Fuck yes. I’m drooling right now. And dark medieval Bucky?! A fucking wet dream. I hope you enjoy this, Roo. I wrote it with love. <3

(Creep medieval cover)
Do Not Repost My Works!
Tumblr media
Grief is a strange state of mind. You are alone -- loneliness constricts your soul -- in this world -- a blight of death lingers upon your days.
The stench of a decaying heart oozes from your pores, zombified mulling has become your stature -- living has now become a chore you could no longer bear.
Attempts to find solace in your small garden, or seek tedious conversations with your close confidantes -- Natasha, and Sharon -- in search of comfort -- but it was fruitless. Your soulmate was gone, burned into crisp.
Her brown auburn hair frayed in flames, her blood-curdling screams deafened your ears -- you can still hear her cries at night.
Hog-tied, and bound for a false crime -- the cheers and chants of kill the witch, kill the witch, kill the witch ring like crackling metal cowbells battering your eardrums.
The ashes of a smolder cadaver salvaged into an urn, tucked under your arm, scurrying in the dead of the night to bury her.
Dug a hole deep enough of a familiar grave -- tears watered the disturbed soil, as dirt and grit littered nimble fingers gingerly laid the urn to rest upon the coffin.
Here lies the brave warrior, Pietro Maximoff, a Slovakian immigrant, who died in battle in honor of King Barnes, now reunited in the afterlife with his other-half -- Wanda.
A brother and sister now soaring high among the clouds, two pure souls now cradled in the hands of the almighty Lord -- the heavens have gained another angel.
Putrefying flesh forced to be paraded in stitched elegant cloth crafted by your hands, forced to attend a banquet -- not just a regular fest -- no -- the young princess of the royal Barnes family has been wedded off, Princess Rebecca of Brooklynite now bares the noble title, Queen Rumlow.
The palace erupted in splendor, overwhelming in joyous celebration. The wind band at full swing -- drunk royal allies merrily wailing, and dancing upon the banquet floor.
By default of your entrusted role of handmaiden, and personal dressmaker of the youthful highness -- you were expected to make an appearance.
The atmosphere was flooded by a mouth-watering aroma, platters of cooked meals -- pig head, wild game, smoked fish, roasted peacock, cut steamed vegetables, sweetened desserts, and dried fruit coated in dribbled honey.
The Great Hall is decorated in silk curtains draping on the high windows, never-ending refills of ale, lively minstrels, and troubadours of noble high-regards. King Barnes will go above and beyond of excellent splendor for his sister.
The royal family is seated at the stretched mahogany table at the center of the corridor: King Barnes, his mother Queen Barnes on his right, his sister on his left. Beyond seated next to the aging monarch was the curia regis, himself -- Steven Rogers.
Swathed combed blonde-hair, piercing blues, sharp mighty jaw, magenta and navy color patterns resemble him to be a pampered aristocrat, but he holds himself to be a knight -- ready for the fight of honor.
A bitter taste lingers in your mouth, as you witness Steve shamelessly flirt with Sharon. It hasn’t been nearly a year since his “betrowed” Dutchess Peggy Carter has passed, and now he mingles with her youngest niece.
You often ponder if he used Peggy’s status to gain more of popularity favor, and her wealth? He does prance in fancier clothing -- besides the ones Bucky spoils him with.
You never brought the conversation to Sharon, fearing to offend her, and provoke her mourning of her great aunt. But the tasteless courtship nerves you.
King Barnes cheekily pecks his sweet little sister on the cheek as she sits by his side with a pure grin clasping onto her new husband’s hand -- as you sulk in the farthest corner, distancing yourself from the lively crowds.
If it was left to your decision, you would be isolated in your chambers -- drowning in your tears, and mead. It’s been three full moons since the passing of your lover, and the wound of mourning is still fresh.
You stole a glance at Rebecca, envy’s hideous head rearing -- why couldn’t you be in love? Why has fate -- the heavens -- have forgotten you so? The creamy white fabric sewn, and gracefully stitched draped her magnificently, her natural beauty gleams.
Skin as fresh milk luster within opulent cloth, satin silk embroidered with lace under the cuff. A lace trimming that separates the top of the sleeve from the bottom cuff which is adorned with silver and pearl brooches — as if you captured the twinkling night stars, shooting moonbeams and soft haunting orbs sunlight to fabric.
A sense of pride hummed over you.
At last, you buried the jealousy deep in your shattered cavity, genuinely happy that at least love still prevails.
Mindlessly plucking ripped pieces of fessant off your plate, popping it into your mouth, as the heel of your other palm propped you up by your chin -- hazily staring at the drunken fools berating themselves.
Your other hand flickering with your long braids -- fingers twirling, the curled ends grazing against your chavile.
Your brown orbs scan the room, hazily observing the charade, till you reach back to a giggling Rebecca -- your breath hitched.
Cerulean pools pierce through you, sternly unwavering. Five seats away from you is his Majesty himself, Barnes. Gawking at you intensely, like a wolf sniffing out his prey.
Your eyes widened, frozen in your seat. He lifted his chin up, his hues looking you up and down -- as if he was inspecting you. It made your skin crawl, immediately pulling your gaze from his.
Luckily everyone was drunkenly distracted, unable to see the king making daggers at you -- through your peripheral vision, he’s still staring at you.
Drinking from his goblet, above the rim was his pools peering at you. He finally tore away from you, at the very moment his sister, Rebecca tugged on his arm; hugging him. He caressed her cheek tenderly.
You nervously stand up, your shaky hands rubbing against your gown, drying your clammy sweat into the fabric.
Dashing feet snuck you out of your seat, quiet footfalls snuffed by uproarious chatter, and music. In a flash, you bolted out of the grand hall, exiting through a barren entryway; heading straight for your chambers.
Entirely missing Barnes’ amused grin, and arched brow. - Silence. The corridors were deafening, the only cadence is your nimble feet clicking against the pavement.
Splotches of ignited dimmed carnelian glow against your flesh gleaming a haunting sepia. Fingertips grazing against the stone walls to maintain balance from your tipsy stupor.
Confusion over-rides in your mind, why did King Barnes stare at me? So … intensely? Never has the king been so vehement before -- especially with me. Of all maidens, his attention falls upon me. Why?
Unanswered questions swirl in your head like furious wasps, stinging nerves throb painfully, soothing your temples by your tips, glossy quartz blankly glimpt at the lit torches nailed to the wall -- there she is. A small dark figure dances in the flames, thriving limbs swirl around; she’s in pain.
If you could just grab her, and keep her -- maybe she can sleep on a flower-bed, your own Thumbelina. Your heart aches, desperate fingers slowly try to touch the fire, but blazing heat torment you.
At last, just like before -- you couldn’t save her from her fate. The smoky figure stills, it waves solemnly, and simmers in ashes.
“Do you often stare at fire, my lady?” A husky timbre pulled you out of your trance, flinching at the sudden intrusion. Hot tears slip down your cheeks, quickly wiping it away.
Through blurry vision, shrouded in darkness, is Barnes. “No, your Highness. My apologies, I’ll take my leave now.” Fidgety fingers, and averted eyes, you turn to move away but he caught your elbow.
“Do not apologize, I’m sorry if I offended you.” Barnes pulled your body closer to him, offering a small smile. Both gigantic paws grip your elbows, “No, your Highness. You haven’t offended me.” You meekly spoke, a timid smile, shallow breathing.
“Bucky.” You snapped your head upwards, “Beg your pardon?” You quizzically question him, “I bessek you to call me, Bucky.” You gasped at him, soft shake of the head in refusal. His voice was kind, but it came off as more of a demand.
“Your Hig--” He glared at you, cowering underneath his intense stare, “Bucky, that would be inappropriate of me. It’s not my place.” He shushed you, his knuckles nuzzling your cheek.
“Tis only fair, we’ve known each other for a few years.” The spot where his fingers touched heated, tingling. Traveling the terrain of your face, fingers find refuge in your hair, toying with the silk ribbons woven within the braiding, intently inspecting.
“Rebecca’s gown is magnificent. Your touch is impeccable.” Twirling curled ends pinched between his fingers tips.
“I thank you.” You awkwardly lower your eyes away from him, his finger lifting your chin, “You’ve been crying.” His brows furrow, inspecting your sheen eyes. “Why ales you?” His palm cups your face, lowering his face closer to you, low pants of fear, you tilted your head away from him, a cough to cover the awkwardness.
“Nothing, Bucky.” You finally free yourself from his grasp, the brisk air from the open windows cooling your skin.
Walking towards the stone window, staring at the village located in the distance -- a burnt wooden pillar stood mockingly in the village square. Your facial lines morphed in discomfort, sobs wrecked your chest.
Bucky’s warm palms contrasted your icy skin, twisting you around to face him, “Please do not cry, such a beauty shouldn’t be pained with sorrow.” Bucky’s nose flared, his eyebrows twisted sympathetically. Cupping your cheeks, his thumbs swiping away tears.
Bucky slipped into a trance of adoration. You weren’t like the other noble women who would bleed themselves to achieve pale skin.
He can inquire of a memory of his former flame, Dutchess Dorothy -- who he fondly donned Dot -- who would walk weakly due to losing some blood. When he asked her why would she harm herself, she would tenderly reply, “Beauty is pain, my King.”
But you didn’t have to reach extreme techniques. No, you were a specimen of worldly beauty. “Bucky?” you tried to coax him out of his trance; his dilated eyes, and curled smile sent a shiver down your spine. Your dainty palms hold onto his hands, weak tugs to free your face -- but it is fruitless.
“Your Highness, please release me.” Your timid voice broke his haze, he growled lowly, “I thought I told you to call me, Bucky?” A grin, all teeth.
“My apologies.” Your watery eyes instinctively travel to your right, eyeing the burnt log standing proudly beyond the distance, hiding among the wild trees of the royal acres -- you sniveled a bit. A snort stralted you.
“A fitting punishment for such sorcery.” Bucky sneered, a smug smile as he stared out in the distance. Your eyes snapped back at him. Your nose flared, rage, and grief murking deep in your gut, strangling your spirit.
“I disagree.” Stern, and hardened. “Disagree?” Bucky glared at you, “A witch was among my circle, and you disagree?” Bucky’s hands left your cheeks, gripping your shoulders harshly.
“She wasn’t a witch, but a healing doctor.” You winced, earning a hiss, “You’re hurting me.” You cried, as Bucky towered over you.
His snarling face hairs away from yours, “Hurting you? Not as much as you have hurt me over the few years.” He angrily pleaded, pushing you against a nearby stone wall, his weight pinning you.
“How have I hurt you?” Your confusion befuddles you. Limbs wiggling under his clutch, like a hungry wolf, Bucky’s nose nuzzling your scalp, inhaling his sweet aroma of rosewater, and a twinge of spikenard. He grunted from the deep inhale, you stiffened -- truly terrified.
“Two years of desiring you.” His nose trailing from your hair, to the terrain of your forehead to your nose, heavy breath against your cupid-bow.
“Watching you being tainted by that sinful wench.” His hushed roar makes you whine, shutting your eyes as hot tears trail down your cheeks.
Bucky’s lips hairs-away from yours, “I remember when I first met you, when you were engaged to that local blacksmith, I felt immense rage.” He mumbled against your mouth, “How can a peasant have your hand in promise?”
You trembled in his touch, “--but I broke it off with him--” Bucky cut you off, “Yes! To be with that foul woman!” He nibbled on your chin, “I later saw the signs. I watched you glance at her. Lovingly. Remember the walls see all.” Bucky exhaled as he hovered his mouth over yours, the tip of his tongue tantalizing outward.
“Sneaky fingers reaching for each other. I am your shadow. I see what you do, even when I wasn’t around -- I have even watched you slumber a few times, I touched myself as you slept.”
He inhaled once again deeply with gravel. “I loathed her whenever she slept by you.” You were taken-back at his confession, Bucky leaned into your ear, “I have even witnessed you touch yourself in the dead of the night; you coming undone is such a sight.”
His husky timbre sent shivers down your spine, “I had to be rid of her.” That was the hay that broke the camel back.
Impulsively you bite at his shoulder, your teeth sinking into his flesh, he groaned but not in pain. He growled, “That’s what I love about you, my dove. That fiery bite.” You unlatched your teeth, you squirmed beneath him; he tightened his grip on you.
“You killed her! Why?!” you cried, babbling at your words, “Why Bucky?” Clinging onto the fabric of his silk robe. Tears flood your cheeks, dripping down your chin, Bucky’s unrelenting hands cupped your face once again.
Menacing oceanic meets fearsome brown orbs, brows furrowed -- the glow of fire above ignites upon him, illuminating a crown of malice -- the face of the Devil himself.
“I had too, my dove. At first, I was just going to make her spend her days in the dungeon. But then, those -- love letters, promises of running away. It gave me more reason to discard her!” Bucky smashed his lips against yours, all teeth and tongue. Gripping your jaw tightly, forcing you to open wide for his intrusion.
“That whoring wench was going to take you from me!” Bucky’s tongue dove inside your mouth, you gurgled in disgust as his tongue toyed with yours.
“I will burn down the whole kingdom in search of you.” Bucky declared. A wicked kiss of sin. Furious fingers tug at the hem of your dress, nails scrap your flesh as Bucky rips your bodice at the seams; your chest, and belly now exposed to the elements.
Your breasts heave free, and he licks his lips like a rabid dog. “Beautiful.” He mutters as you stand frozen in fear as if roots from the soles of your feet grew within the flooring. Bucky’s hands find your breasts, rubs his thumbs over the nipples, mixing with the cool air bellowing from outside -- your nipples erect.
Your heartbeat thrumming rapidly in your chest, a harsh rhyme matching the muffled cadence from the grand hall. Nibbling your neck, tasting the salt of your skin. Sneaky hands rummage through layers of fabric of your dress; Bucky knelt a bit to bunch your dress upward.
“Please --” You begged, more fresh tears brimming your eyes. “Silence, my love.” Bucky shushed you tenderly. He yanks your hosens, tearing the linen to pieces, exposing your mound. His knuckles glide within your velvet folds, his fingers soaking in your juices. Popping his fingers in his mouth, moaning at yout taste.
“Delicious.” He grumbled. You gain some ounce of confidence, moving your feet to dash out of his grasp, but you fail. You stumble on your feet, as Bucky man-handles you against the wall.
“Stop it!” He barked. Twisting you in his arms, maneuvering you around as your cheek squash against the stone wall. Pinning you with his weight, his chest against your back; his hand wedges between the wall pavement and your stomach.
You try to scream, but he quickly slaps his palm against your lips.
“I shall give you my seed. Let it bloom inside your womb.” Bucky rubbing your exposed belly, his warm breath fanning in your ear, “You will give me an heir.” You whined against his thick fingers squishing your lips shut, hot tears squeeze out shut eyes.
“You should be so grateful.” He hissed, slightly shaking your head by his grip, “Many women have tried to bed me, to gain the gift of carrying my legacy. But they weren’t you -- it’s only been you.” Sloppy kiss on your cheek, a string saliva trailing from his lips. Tiny sobs pull out of you.
With the same palm that was touching your stomach now slithers its way to his undergarments, detaching his robe, so he can have more of a spacious reign. “I can’t wait to feel you, my love. Feel your wetness soak me.” He hissed.
Harshly arching your back towards him with the guide of his hand from your mouth traveling to your pelvis, separating your feet by his. Both his palms cup your ass cheeks, separating to reveal the valley of your gaping asshole to your slit.
Clutching his cock with his thick fingers, stroking it a bit as he hedged the swollen tip against your slick folds. Leaning against you, securing you, Bucky thrusts himself deep.
No hesitation nor preparation for you to adjust to his size. You shrill at his fullness -- thick with girth, and mighty long.
“What a sight you will be swollen with my child. Your breasts --” Quickly groping your tits, “Will carry the nectar of life. Not only will my child fest from you, but so will I.”
You babble incoherently as he plunges. Sobbing at the stretch, hissing as warm liquid slowly trickles down your thighs dripping on the cold floor.
He can’t stop -- but it’s too impulsive, too thrilling. Your face is forced to tilt, facing him, sticky kisses, and moans. Your folds were fluttering, red wine stains his tongue as it plays with yours, husky gruff grunts against your gaped mouth between his fingers.
Moist slick gushing a bit from your pussy, coating his balls that slap against your swollen clit, you involuntarily clench onto him.
“Peach-sweet.” Bucky drinks, slurps your spit. A surge of euphoria surges throughout your body, shame floods you as your subconscious tries to float away to a lighter space.
Limbs go lax as you await the inevitable. An empty stare into his blue daggers, as if he wasn’t even there. Your nails digging into the gravel, futile escape. A sharp thrust against your g-spot made you cry out, breaking the daze of compliance “Don’t. Never try to escape me. You will feel everything I give you.”
A creek of a door halts Bucky’s actions, you try to scream, but Bucky shoves his fingers between your lips. A familiar drunken cackle looms at the end of the hall, “Your Highness --” slurred, and taunting. “--Finally claiming your queen.” Bucky snorts, your eyes close in shame, your immodesty exposed to another gentleman -- but it wasn’t just any gentleman, it was Steve.
Bucky tugs your mouth by his fingers, moving your face to peer in the other direction. You screamed, despite it being muted by Bucky’s digits. Your teary eyes pleading with Steve, but he all but ignores you.
“You couldn’t wait till you got to your chambers.” Steve teased, a grin on his flushed face. A feminine chuckle approach behind Steve, a twirling stumbling body leans on his bicep, “Stevieee…” Appears is Sharon, her face is flushed pink.
“Oh --” She covers her mouth with her dainty fingers, “Well, what an interesting sight.” A knowing smirk on her face, she turns to Steve, “Darling, I feel like --” She stutters, “What’s that Greek chubby winged baby again?” Steve turns to her with an adoring smile.
“The one with the bow and arrow?” She wobbles a bit, fingers sloppily mimicking a shooting arrow; your brows dented in frustration, and confusion at her ignorance of your defilement.
“Cupid, love.” Steve steadies her, she squeals, “Cupid!” Sharon grabs both of Steve’s hands, pulling him along down the hall, she tsks at your fuming eyes. “Y/n, you should be glad. If I haven’t told Bucky about the letters, you would’ve left.”
Your eyes widened at her words, your own friend betrays you. “Alright, Sharon, time to leave the love-birds be. I must take you to my chambers.” Steve guides Sharon by the elbows, wiggling his eyebrows at her.
“Enjoy, punk.” A friendly jeer.
“As always, jerk.” Steve winks at you, as he pats Bucky on the back.
You dry-heave a bit, Bucky removes himself from your lips, shushing you, “Shh. Just enjoy it. Look at them.” Bucky points to the couple fading down the hall. “Steve did everything in his power to be with Sharon. You honestly believe he loved Peggy?”
Your shoulders firm, stiffening by the truth -- “A drop of Hemlock. A little favor from Dr. Banner. To everyone it was a weak-heart, to us” A flair of his wrist, “-- a mercy killing. She was old, and tiring.” Bucky gave you a small kiss on the cheek, stunned as you witness the confession of murder.
“Murderer.” You hiss. Bucky’s eyes hardened, “It’s not my only slaying.” He simpered, he snapped his hips against yours. You wail, bearing his teeth, “How you warm my cock. Soon my bed.”
Furious pasts, your body jolting against him, resuming his torment. As if your body wasn’t on display to his confidante, and your former friend.
A coil is slowly burning, and rolling inside the pit of your belly, no longer to hold back your cries. Teasing, stroking you to a dizzying climax.
Loose hands roaming your body, Bucky’s smug smile at your compliance, a delicious push. Heat blossoms in his eyes, “I love you.” It was breathy, and soft.
Erratic sloppy thrusts, your hips matching his -- reaching for that high, months of no touch. You should be repulsed by his, but just for this moment in time, you can pretend.
“I --” Pretend it's not his hands, a blurry vision of familiar brown locks, a strong Slovakian timbre of sweet whispers, “--I--”. Bucky urges you to say it, “Say it.”His voice hoarse, raw. Sweat beads at his brows.
You don’t hear him -- a kinder voice flows from him, morphing into the woman you mourn, and probably mourn for the rest of your life.
“Let go, moja láska.” Hot tears fall down your face, colliding down your chest. “I love you.” You shrill, you cum violently upon him, spraying the floor and his clothes, your thighs shaking and covered in slick. Bucky roars into his orgasm, painting your walls white.
Kisses on the nape of your neck, scarred, broken. “By fall, you will rule by me. Hopefully by then, you will be carrying my babe.” Bucky hummed, kissing you non-stop. But, you don’t hear him. You just keep hearing the ringing in your ears, the distant fog of Wanda’s voice fading into the darkness.
Gone.
Forever.

buttercup • richie tozier
(richie tozier x reader)
requested: Would you mind writing a Richie Tozier X reader soulmate AU where Richie is VERY self conscious and he finds out that the reader is his soulmate and the reader is well known and very pretty, so he’s just like djjdjfgjjcbvnfnf but once they actually meet she really likes him? :0 thanks if you consider!
warning: swearing, angst, richie being edgy and also a bit unstable (king shit), neuroatypical richie!!!, fluff, soulmate au!! <33 also sorry this may be rough, i havent edited it at all
[reader + losers are in college]
lmk what u guys think of this one,... idk LOL
4.1k words
richie was about to be sick. yes, he really, really was going to vomit in approximately ten seconds and he didn’t know what he was going to do. the room, full of barely-adults chugging jungle juice was sweaty and bustling and the walls were closing in on him quick. those people who weren't in the main rooms were doing sniff in the bathrooms and blocking his pathway to heaven (the toilet) so he quickly stumbles towards the sliding-glass door.
he passes a guy who claps his shoulder and says in a deep voice, "you good, bro?"
no, no. he's not good, bro. thanks for asking, though.
as he finally breaks free of the plastic, out of the crusty balloon that was holding his body hostage, he takes a deep breath and sprawls himself on the back deck, staring up at the clouds in the nighttime sky. maybe he should go home and mull this over, before he crams it down his own throat and chokes to death, alone and broken on the back deck of a 22 year old business major's rental house.
he laughs to himself - an image which he's sure would be a full on maniacal scene to an onlooker - as he lights a cigarette with very shaky fingers. even if he chooses to give this situation some thought, he will end up being forced regardless because this is, quite literally, richard tozier's destiny.
y/n y/l/n is richie's destiny, and it makes him feel like complete shit.
you see - his whole life, richie knew about the fucking soulmate tattoos. of course he did, everybody did - it was, like, one of the first things you learn, ever. he knows that there's basically a soulmate for every person and often times the soulmate marks were different, the ways of finding your soulmate were wide and far.
for most of richie's life - actually, almost all of it up until the last month - he'd had a big, fat 0 tattooed on his arm and below it a humiliating phrase that was quite the epitome of richie himself.
yet it never changed, which led him, his friends, and his parents to determine that he'd gotten a time-counter soulmate mark, which he likes to pride himself on believing he did not give a single fuck about.
the number is supposed to count the amount of time that you've spent with your soulmate, and there's usually a sentence or phrase that's associated with your soulmate's first thoughts of you below it. and yeah, of course the first thing the lucky guy or gal thought of richie is 'wow, those are the ugliest socks ever.' pretty fucking on-brand, if richie says so himself.
so yeah, he never really paid attention to his soulmate mark - partly because the thought of emotionally opening up to someone enough for them to know his whole and true self was repulsive and terrifying enough to make him physically ill, enough for him to develop a crazy sense of humor as a less-than proficient coping mechanism for the insecurity and fear that lives in his mind rent-free, 24/7 365. but mostly he didn't pay attention to the mark because, you know, he thought it was lame.
that is, until it changed from the 0.
it happened on the first day of classes fall semester of this, his freshman year of college.
which, honestly, was a huge fucking bummer, because he literally came into contact with almost 800 new people that first day through classes, dorms, walking around campus, and the dining hall. and yet, as he got back to his dorm and smoked a bowl with bill, he'd noticed that his arm had said 00:51:26.
bill had been so excited he'd almost lifted richie through the roof, because 'holy sh-shit, rich, y-you did it!'
it was hard to believe someone was out there for him, though. and yeah, he didn't give a fuck about it, but he also kind of did.
richie, now thinking back on that day, groans a bit. if he'd just known, if he had just fucking looked at the thigh of the girl in front of him with the soft-looking grin and the alluring scent of orange creamsicle shampoo, who'd smiled a bit when he borrowed a pen - if he'd just known then that y/n was meant to spend the rest of her life with him, he could've... well, he's not really sure what he could have done.
he thinks to that moment in time, as he was blowing smoke out the dorm window with bill and giggling as he ate an entire bag of cheez-its, and how much he wanted to know who it was back then.
but tonight, it had become a nightmare when the information practically fell into his lap. he's at this house party in late september, and about five minutes ago it was just boring enough to warrant sitting on the rug in the living room and just fun enough to actually stay.
“-yeah, she said the first time you guys met was in microeconomics, right?” ben says, and richie huffs in agreement as he picks at the skin on his nails. ben was talking about her again, and richie's heart was beating stupidly hard. y/n, one of his closest friends that he'd made outside of the losers, never failed to make his heart run a goddamn marathon.
“-she told me the first thing she noticed was that you were wearing socks with sandals. and she thought that your socks were really ugly.” he finishes with a laugh and richie’s head snaps up at that. he feels chills spill over back as if he’d been doused with ice water and he gapes at ben. “wait, what?” richie shudders, the words escaping his lips quietly enough that his friends mistake it for a forceful exhale brought on by offense at the word 'ugly.'
“well she was right to think that.” stan says from behind his solo cup, carefree, as if richie’s life wasn’t crashing to an alarming and unbelievable halt. eddie giggles faintly somewhere from the floor where the losers are sitting, but richie’s mind is reeling too much for him to react to or even comprehend anything.
“rich, i th-thought i got you to st-stop wearing socks and sandals so long ago.” bill adds, laughing into his hand. but richie’s barely registering any other fucking information because he’s staring at ben, who is finally noticing his friend’s perplexed face. “you good, rich?” ben asks carefully.
“wh-er, wait. what exactly did she say?” richie asks, really not wanting to know the answer and yet wanting to know more than life itself. it can't be her. he’s getting odd looks from everyone now, but he's starting to breathe quickly and he thinks he might vomit. he kind of regrets never showing anybody but big bill his soulmate mark, because he's suffocating right now in embarrassment and bill is a little too drunk to assume what richie's assuming right now.
“wait, y/n y/l/n, right? from my dorm. she’s here tonight, she told me- oh, y/n!” stan calls, looking directly over richie’s shoulder. it happens so fast. y/n, in the flesh, walks past at just that moment, breaking out into a breath-taking, world-halting smile. richie's chest hurts worse than it ever has before as she waves and bustles over to plop herself next to richie. and holy shit, she's wearing shorts because even though it's cold out, the house is warm and richie can see dark ink on her thigh. a soulmate tattoo. he can't draw his eyes away even though his brain is screaming to knock it off because there's going to be something there he doesn't want to accept, but he then does it anyways.
he almost hyperventilates as he reads the words emblazoned on her thigh,
27:36:08 and right below it: "holy hell her hair smells like orange creamsicle"
he almost sobs right then and there as she greets him with a soft hand on his shoulder, completely unaware of their fate and richie has to stand up abruptly because he can literally feel the numbers changing on his arm as the seconds go by with y/n at his side.
and now, mere minutes later he's out here, laying in self pity as anxiety claws at every inch of his body and fear tingles on him like the slight presence of snowflakes falling on his skin - briefly he wonders if, as an older man, he'll wonder how he never got cold wearing nothing, vulnerable as he welcomes in that falling snow.
he would be totally daft not to wonder how he ended up with a soulmate like her, someone not only so fucking attractive but so kind and undeserving of a monstrosity of a human like him. she is, in every place he isn't, a complete and utter success of a person; he's a hurricane where she's whitecaps in the sea, he's loud and abrupt while she is kind and outgoing. maybe they do work well together, hell - they spend enough time on study dates outside of class for him to know that he does really like her. but richie also knows his standoffish, happy-go-lucky and untamed personality paired with his unwillingness to make himself appear vulnerable to most people will probably have a very large impact on... whatever it is that happens with y/n.
because that's really the point, isn't it?
she is stuck with him. bucky beaver, the trashmouth, mr. i-can't-keep-my-trap-shut-for-three-seconds. y/n, the most incredible person in this world, is the kind of person that was designed for richie to admire from afar, as he is so willing to suffer through. because as much as it hurts to watch her and to love her without loving her, it is a thousand times safer for both of them than the inevitable look of disappointment that will befall y/n’s angelic features when she discovers who her burden of a soulmate is.
the thought makes richie choke out a weak sob, sitting up and digging the heel of his palms into his sockets, trying to scrub out the image of himself from his brain. awful, awful, bad.
he takes a long drag from his cigarette and for a brief moment he wonders if, just maybe, she’ll love him back eventually. the thought makes him feel like crying all over again.
huge nose, big teeth, awkwardly skinny and too tall. maybe he's got nice hair, but he sometimes wakes up too late and can only brush his teeth and swipe on deodorant before he's sprinting out his dorm with his pickle socks and stan's old sandals, trudging to class and getting in the way of y/n's future.
but he is her future, after all - how can that be right?
he doesn't have enough time to take another drag from his cig as he hears the glass door open, the noise from the party bursting through the gap in the foundation of the house and sending him back to five minutes, ago, inside. he cranes his neck and can't bring himself to be surprised when he sees her, backlit from the party inside and figure in his mind standing like the only being in the world.
she thinks he looks devastatingly beautiful tonight. she loves the awkwardness in his bones, the way he carries himself with confidence although she's not sure he always really has it. he's wearing some dumb socks again as usual, though they're mostly covered by his black pants and red high-tops this time. it makes her smile softly.
she wants to know him, really know him, as more than just a classmate, a crush, a boy who's friends with stan uris from the floor above her own room. she wants to feel his large hands on her in more than just fleeting greetings, knucks to the shoulder or jaw. she wants the sharp taste of nicotine and mint from those life savers he was always sucking on in her own mouth as he holds her tightly against him, she wants to know everything about him and be with him, even if they aren't somehow destined to be forever. which, she thinks with an array of wild animals tumbling around her chest, they might be.
after all, someone at this party is her soulmate, and she's almost 99.8% sure it's richie. it gives her the most beautiful butterflies she's ever had, even when he stares at her from the deck with glassy eyes and tear-stained cheeks.
"what’s up, buttercup?” is all she says, in her mind because he's stunned her to near-silence once again by just existing, and in his mind because she is the most perfect being.
he doesn't respond despite being completely charmed by her, because he's breathing in the nicotine and its making his fingers twitch and even though he's sober by now, he thinks he may be tweaking a bit, mostly from the overwhelming set of information that just smacked into his face when y/n walked over into that room.
he watches as suddenly she's dropping herself so she's sat next to him, her legs swinging off the edge of the deck. she eyes his cigarette. "that's so unhealthy, rich." she says softly, teasing but with a lacing of truth behind it that really makes richie itch to never smoke ever again in his life. but he's a stubborn ass, so he instead takes a deeper drag, maintaining eye contact. he can feel one tear slip from his eye and he feels so fucking melodramatic as he does so, but he's at the lowest he's been in a while, so he gives himself a bit of credit.
she reaches out and pulls the cigarette directly from between his lips, sending him a pointed look as she presses it out on the finished wood of the deck. he wipes the tear away when she's not looking. and as she turns back he smirks, unsure what else to do, as he blows the smoke out of his mouth towards her face.
"hi, toots." he says in what he hopes is a normal tone, despite his blotchy and tear-trailed face. she blinks her eyes owlishly at him but just shrugs, "you left a little prematurely back there. what, do i smell that bad?" she jokes. no, he thinks, you smell like orange creamsicles.
it's bittersweet, the irony in her statement. because he knows that she probably knows what she smells like every day, as it's literally tattooed right on the meat of her leg, on display for her and whoever else lucky enough to find themselves being acquainted with the skin of her upper thigh. the thought leaves a sour taste in his mouth.
maybe if he were feeling a little less in-the-dumps, a little less like a complete and utter disappointment and failure that ruined this sweet girl's life, he would have ribbed her back a bit. you know, grind her gears in typical tozier fashion.
but he's exhausted and so distraught that he can't bring himself to even look at her. "i'm not in the mood" he grumbles, his heart pounding. she frowns, tilting her head.
"okay, what's wrong, richie?" she asks, and it's in that caring voice that she uses that isn't pitying but simply solicitous in nature. her calming force on him is obvious and immediate and his teeth stop rattling around in his head
he wants to scream because she's burning warm and perfect while he's frigid cold inside his body; a wasteland full of broken slinkies and half-formulated 'your mom' jokes that are melded to the crust of him with the tar that's been sucked straight from those damn ciggies. for crying out loud, if he were to so much as touch her, she'd get corrupted.
she notices as he scoots a bit away from her, and her heart hurts. he's so upset, clearly, and yet it hurts her that he can't trust himself or her enough to open up; no fault of his own surely, but heartbreaking all the same. "i care about you, and i really want to be here for you." she says it like there's going to be more, but the words kind of die in her throat as she realizes the extend of her words.
holy shit, she thinks, i'd go to the ends of the earth for him. if richie asked me to, i think i'd probably kill the queen.
"i stubbed my toe, and it really hurts." he says then, and the absurdity of his excuse makes her laugh out loud, head tilting back towards the moon as the bubbly giggles tumble from her lips. she looks at him after and his face is a twisted mix of affection and utter pain, a combination that hurts her to her core but lights a fuel in her that makes her want to help him.
"it's true." he mutters, motioning to his shoe limply, and she looks at his foot, the tip of his converse scribbled in sharpie with the word 'half-brain' and then a bunch of hearts.
"i like your socks." she says absentmindedly, grinning at him as she says it, voice teasing. but the reaction she was hoping for was nowhere to be seen as richie suddenly heaves a hiccup-sob, one so upsetting and quiet that she thinks she misheard it.
but he's keeling over and clutching his face with his hands, shaking his head, and her heart breaks. "richie, honey please tell me what's going on. or i can just sit here, if you'd rather-"
her sentence is cut off with richies own rushed words, expelled from his mouth so quickly that it's almost as if they were trying to escape while his lips tried to hold them in.
"-you're going to have to spend the rest of your life trying to force yourself to love me, and that terrifies me.”
as he says it, his stomach twists itself inwards at his admission and he thinks he's going to be sick. he doesn't deserve you, you're going to resent him for it. she's silent for a few moments, and he doesn't dare look anywhere near her as tears trail down his solemn cheekbones and drop onto the black corduroy that wraps around his jittering legs.
"richie, please, what are you trying to say?" she says quietly, sounding scared, nervous, upset... richie did that. it's his fault. he tilts his head back, his brain buzzing in guilt. "fuck," he says, and it comes out broken, "you... i- you're my soulmate." he says, looking down to where his chest rises and falls almost unnaturally, a consequence of muscle memory being tampered with by the lethally college combination of nicotine, alcohol and marijuana on an empty stomach.
earlier he was afraid that if he opened his mouth too wide he would lose control of his tongue and then the words would come out without him wanting them to, but he knows he's basically sober by now, as sober as y/n is next to him - he's just neurotic, but he doesn't want her to know that, because oh god, what if she hated him for it?
she wouldn't, right? isn't she supposed to find a way to love him?
this was a really stupid idea, but in his mind it was one that had to be done. shutting his eyes, he tugs the sleeve of his left arm upwards, taking a shaky breath. again, it's silent as she reads the words written there. wow, those are the ugliest socks ever.
she stares at the words, and the number above it, then she looks at her own thigh, where the exact same number counts on in time with his.
he wastes no time, though: "-don't worry, doll. i've got it figured out, we can just- maybe we can get yours covered and you don't have to think about it anymore. fi-find someone better, like, oh, bill - he'd treat you nice i think. just- we don't have to think about it, i'm sorry." he says in one breath, not looking at her at all.
"richie, how can i be yours if you're not mine?" she says thickly because she's fighting off tears wondering how someone so incredible and full of life could feel so undeserving.
"you can't want me, you can't." he insists, not looking at her as she gapes at him because if he were to look at her expression he may lose it. it's quiet again in their own little world here, the air silent and numbing as y/n takes a breath.
"oh my god, wait richie how are we this stupid?" she asks, perking up and lightly slapping his arm. he looks at her in shock as she begins to laugh, "we've been alone together so many times. how did we not notice?" she asks, and he chuckles a bit, shrugging.
"maybe we're not the sharpest crayons in the drawer, toots. all i'm sayin' is that i figured it out first." he says cheekily, and secretly both of them are shocked to see how quickly they fell together, as if the knowledge that they were made for each other made all their insecurities fall away.
her face softens again. "you know, i saw my timer counting tonight and i was hoping more than anything that you'd be here. that we'd be-" she adds softly, a hand landing lightly on richie's thigh, sending licks of flames up his body. she takes a breath and restarts. "do you know how fucking bad i wanted it to be you?"
and just like that, y/n unintentionally provides a luscious mix of words and tricks that fill him with barely enough confidence to let him bet when he knows he should fold.
what's life without a little risk?
he meets her eyes for the first time in a few minutes and hers are large and hopeful as they wait patiently for him to give her something. but he still can't speak without running his mouth, so instead he cups her cheeks. her lips part slowly and he stares in awe at her raw beauty, unable to hold it in longer.
he presses his lips to her quickly and to her it feels like he is trying to prove something. it makes her heart soar as he comes alive against her, pressing as enthusiastically as she is into him. he tastes, as she'd guessed, like nicotine but mostly like a mint and it makes her grin as he pulls back.
"is this okay?" he's asking then, his thumb soothing over her cheek sweetly and giving her the same butterflies she gets when he smiles; the very same butterflies that release when he says anything to her, when he comes to her dorm for a study date with two red bulls in his hand, and when she realized their tattoos beat the same.
"yeah, of course." she whispers against his lips, the feeling of his teasing lightly making her sniffle. she presses their lips together again, this time warmer, more comfortably and his hands move to her hips and tug her closer, her hands winding to his neck as his own hands explore her body, caressing her sides gently. he pulls back and holds her softly.
"your hair smells nice." he says sheepishly, and she grins so widely she thinks she may split in two. her heart flutters as she looks into his eyes, finding nothing but love. "orange creamsicle, huh?" she asks with pink cheeks, and he laughs lightly, nodding his head. "best smell ever, babe."
"you make me happy." she says it onto his lips again, and the shiver that runs down his spine is a feeling he wouldn't mind feeling forever. his heart soars because he believes her, he trusts her. she wouldn't lie to him.
"we're so dramatic, aren't we?" richie jokes, his walls sliding back up a bit, but as y/n cuddles into his chest, head against his beating heart as she presses kisses to his neck, he realizes she accepts him.
"yeah, well. we're made for each other, aren't we rich?" she asks gently as his hand falls to brush over her thigh, right over the words. "that's right, toots." he says softly, looking down at her hairline softly, still in disbelief that it worked out for him. she turns to look at him, cheeks dusted a bit as she leans up to press a kiss on his lips.

Hello!
If you're still doing kin matchups, would you kin-assign me someone from Genshin Impact? With regards to my relationship with gender, I always used to say "Gender is a construct, and I never studied architecture" but then I took to studying architecture for a few months and now I can't say that anymore. I'm an ENFP-A but I've been told I don't look it, and an Enneagram 4w5. I am, by turns, accidentally evasive and almost too genuine, fiercely loving and independent to a fault, and whatever it is that gets old people to like me and the second-graders I used to tutor to see me as both a role model and a target.
In matters of any real consequence, I'm very adaptable, but with mundane life changes I can be a little inflexible but I'm working on that or at least trying to. I tend to lean Hard into the Unrelenting Ceremony Of The Small Parts Of Life, and I keep secrets and promises unfailingly unless they're my New Years' Resolutions. That said, I am the uncrowned king of half-truths and lies of omission.
I'm willing to try pretty much anything at least once, and I've fortunately found or created the opportunity to do so a lot of the time, for better or for worse. This has led to my becoming an eight-time Gettysburg Review-ignored author and poet, a three-time winner of this local baking contest, and Known For Knowing Things among those who aren't close enough to me to be able to tell I exist in a near-constant slight fog. Half-intentionally, I've built up a sort of impenetrable mysticism around myself, much to my pride, amusement, and chagrin. There is almost nothing I can't do with a few rolls of duct tape and some plastic spoons.
People find it easy to tell me things but sometimes hard to talk to me. I'm an avid gardener and proud plant parent to eight lovely (with two noted exceptions, namely Bastard and Bastard II) assorted houseplants, and as of last year, I somehow ended up as the longest-serving member of staff at the Library & Archives where I interned. I write the incidental music for a longtime friend's economics podcast but willfully refuse to learn anything about economics, because what am I, a capitalist? In high school, I joined almost every club they offered and accidentally became the head of seven of them, before respectfully passing on leadership of the Art Club because I can't stand the number seven (however, I do particularly like 4, 13, 8, the multiples thereof, and 1729).
TO FINISH because I could go on like this near-forever, and this is a promise, a threat, and a thing I do pretty much anytime someone is able to get me talking, Three Random Facts That Speak Volumes:
I: I end up collecting nicknames as readily I do decorative shotglasses and shiny things I find on the ground. II: One night, I listened to all of "Trapped in The Closet" in one sitting with my two closest friends at the time, then went on to come in fourth-place at this sprawling day-long scavenger hunt thing and play the voice on someone's answering machine in an independent Zoom theatre production in the car on the way back. To date, the "and I looked in the cabinet" verse of "Trapped in The Closet" instills a strange sense of nostalgia within me. III: I can tie an Eldredge tie knot, but I don't quite remember how to do a Full Windsor correctly.
If you've read all this, I respect you more than anyone else in my life except for my former music theory teacher who said I'd be the least bad out of my class in the organized crime circuit.
Thank you, and I am so sorry,
-J.
you kin...

YANFEI!!
help I HAD SO MUCH FUN READING THIS REQUEST /POS <33 one of my favorite kin matchups, you sound like a lovely person!! i was so happy thinking yanfei from the beginning and the rest proving that to be true ♪(๑ᴖ◡ᴖ๑)♪ the saying you previously used about gender is so silly i love it!! that is so yanfei... she would be a jack of all trades and far from cis >:3c she would love plants and especially rambling, although at one point she'd realize others find it hard to talk to her. yanfei giving people silly nicknames, collecting funky shotglasses and random trinkets is very canon!! i hope you're happy with the result and have a nice day/night, tysm for the request╰(*´︶`*)╯♡
