"little things they do that let you know they're saying ily" ♡

synopsis. scenarios or headcannons of mine about what they do to say ily, or u can see this as relationship hcs smh smh

warnings. none, other than kissing (ew)

author's note. im alive?!?! and posting?!?! woahh (send requests plss), yes i wrote everyone their own little paragraph. HELP ME THIS ALSO LOOKS LIKE THEIR LOVE LANGUAGES :( (it is basically)

pairings: most hsr characters x gn!reader (seperately:p, except bailu, hook, clara, yukong, and yanqing because i got lazy ><)

arlan acts out his love by his actions. constantly mentions and talks about that one quote that 'actions are louder than words.' and so they are! he always tries to yk, make you remember you feel loved. would like to just bring you around with him, or even vice versa, like i said before he doesn't seem too sociable, and usually just talking to people other than asta for business purposes, yet that differs when you help introduce him to other people.

tbh he'd probably like dates at home more than going out. like cuddling by the fireplace, just both of you covered in a blanket together cuddling near the warm fireplace like damn!

asta, oh this sweetheart!! she'd try to tell you with her words, all the time, that you are what she loves so much, and dearly!! the words 'i love you' are always constantly being said to you! and honestly she's just the kind of person to hold your hands, and put it on her chest, and tell you that she loves you to the moon and back. she just wants you to always know the way she loves you, is unlimited, and never ending. she wants you to always know that.

cmon, she would obviously stargaze with you for dates.. every weekend you both go out. to stargaze.

blade shows his love with his actions, i know he can't communicate that well with you, thinks its even luck finally on his side that you got with him, that you liked him back. that you loved him? just.. wow. you know? anyways, i just see him being the type to pull you in a little closer when his arm is around your waist, and you say something he agrees with! he's very touch starved, but that doesn't mean he can't be the one initiating the cuddles and shit!!!

just prefers dates at home, likes it when it's only the both of you that see each other in that moment. just likes it better yk?

bronya is the kind of woman to show it through gifts, and her words of praise? maybe an honest mix of everything? she's just really new to all of this so.. maybe just tries to give you everything she can. even if she doesn't always has time, she'll always be calling, texting, and sending gifts to you, even if you both are planets apart, she'll be constantly making sure you're okay with video calls and etc. besides, she's gonna miss you too much if she doesn't!

"hey hon.. it's like 2am.. is something up? anything bad that happened?" you asked bronya, as you look outside your window to see a dark sky, the moon covered by clouds. "i-- i'm sorry.. i just called to hear your voice. nothing bad happened.. i just really missed you." she says, while rubbing the back of her neck. "oh.. okay."

dan heng just that guy to be always giving his time to you. as much as he can, he'll bring you wherever he goes. as long as you want to too, but he always hopes that you do want too, because he isn't always gonna be on his phone to call or text you. so he thought it'd be easier to just bring you with him. and he'd put his life on the line just to protect you, so basically thinks you'll be fine travelling with him. but even if you don't wanna, he doesn't mind just waiting on the astral express with you and himeko..

similar to march 7th, he'd fill jars of little strips of paper of just compliments he's used on you before, or even square-ish paper filled with little doodles of you, or the both of you

fu xuan wants to show you she loves you with gifts, and her words. she speaks really fancy so she's gonna be using big words to describe how she loves you. or how exquisite you are. or how graceful you are when you fend off enemies. she thinks you're perfect, and deserving of the world. and she'll try her best to give 'the world' to you. honestly just seems like the type to whisper corny shit while you're sleeping. like 'i can't believe you're mine, and in my arms out of so many.'

would also stargaze, knows exactly when meteor showers will be, she's very factual when she talks about shooting stars, or meteors that pass by that look like shooting stars. she'll be busy ranting about how people think meteors that pass by are shooting stars, because no it isn't-- why does she feel soft lips on hers..? oh! you shut her up.. with a.. kiss.. now you got her cheeks red.

gepard likes to gift you little trinkets he finds around belobog or whatever planet. but he also would wanna gift his time as his best present to you. probably sets up the most romantic dates ever, with the help of serval of course! always asks big sis serval if this is good enough for you, or if you'll like this and that. seeing her little brother so in love makes her laugh a little too, but she's always more than happy to help.

tries to learn how march 7th did those little paper stars she gave to serval, has asked millions of times, so you decide to help him with the paper stars, not knowing he was learning for you..

herta.. would literally give you the world. but in all honesty she'd give words of praise, and i mean genuine words of praise. receiving real praise from THE herta?! and being her lover?! wow!! she doesn't really know what it means to love, and you probably would be her first, yet, she feels like you both have been in a relationship since forever. it kind of shocks her, sure she's seen, heck she's probably studied relationship for you to be with her! and it's nothing what she thought it'd be, never really.. prepared for the whole.. 'butterflies in your stomach' feeling..? the little warm tingly feeling, it really shocks her, but.. i guess in a good way.

would play cards against you, even thought she could very easily win against you, she doesn't, she lets you win most of the time, because she loves your expression when you win against her <3

himekooo!! oh himekoo <33 such a sweetheart!! i just know she's very good with her words! uses that to her advantage. takes every chance she can to fluster you! thinks whenever you cover your face with the palms of your hands all cuz she said a corny pickup line to you, she's in love with that!! she's all for it actually! lives for you being all flustered. she also remembers little things about you, little and big details. knows how you like your coffee, or if you like stuff like soda, etc.!!! it's just basic knowledge to her, like also what you're allergic to.

as soon as you come home, tea is ready for you, the bed is made, your favorite movie is on, fresh roses are in the pretty vase she gifted you before you both started dating. she just knows how you like everything, and is waiting for you with your favorite snack. ahh

jing yuan?? hmm.. i kind of see him as a mix of everything, like he'd give gifts very often, and his attention will be on you 24/7 too. and if you tell me and say he wouldn't be so smooth with his words.. like come on. there's so much i wanna say abt this cutie patootie. but yk.. if your gaze seems to last too long on a certain item while you both are walking around thoughh.. just know you'll be getting it that night later on, or even right now! and is another flirty sweetheart who lives for his s/o being flustered as hell!! that's srsly all i can say ykyk?!!?

"but i just need to finish this one stack of paperwork and i'll be free the rest of the week!--" you exclaim as jing yuan protests silently by carrying you up the stairs to your shared bedroom bridal style. "but i need you to cuddle me tonight though, besides, it is due in 2 weeks! just 1 break honey.." he says placing you down onto the bed, "fine fine.." you say as jing yuan jumps into bed onto your chest

kafka is another sweetie pie who's real flirty1!1!!!! and live laugh loves physical touch like ngl she always will be having her arm around your waist whenever she can! pickup line nerd, like i just know she knows every corny pickup line in existence. and lives for your flustered expression too! and would definitely shower you in kisses when she has the time!! 'oh honey.. you know i had such a day at workk..' she knows all the gossip, and will tell you. anyways! such a dear lover, wants to be with you 24/7, but not according to elio's script, she can't always be there with her baby..

"honey honey-- one more! one more! do you have a map?" kafka asks laughingly and she cuddles closer to you, phone in hand. "no i do not." a serious tone decorated in your voice, "because i got lost in your eyes!" your girlfriend laughs even harder, as you sigh, won't this be a long night.

luka bby<33!! such a romantic sweetheart tbh... literally would love to drown you in praise. like it's just a telepathic feeling. probably likes skin-to-skin contact, both romantically, and sexually. like it's something he's so into bro i swear, and i kind of feel like or think that he never really gets a lot of hugs cuz of his arm, and ppl think his embrace would be like cold metal or whatever, AND THE HELL NO IT IS NOT?!?!? like please please please keep giving him cuddles, hugs, anything, keep loving him, tell him his hugs are so warm n stuff!!

outdoor dates!! big yes for him!! and as long as you wanna indulge into the mountains with him, he definitely will bring you to amazing places!

oh... luocha.. hahhahaaksdskdj.. this man is soo SMOOTHHHH WITH HIS WORDSSSS!!! such a physical man too sorry not sorry, such a sweetie pie hahaha...... sorry back to srs writing, he's very much a mix of everything, he could get gifts so extraordinary, like a bouquet of flowers of a species of flower that barely grows anymore, or even not in season that month. he gives the best cuddles ever, and his kisses are just so.. enticing!?!?! like very often as soon as he comes back from them long ahh expeditions, soft makeout sessions are a need for him.

yes yes yes. museum dates. or dates where he knows where your favorite flowers grow or even planting a garden together, but even if you don't like flowers, or are allergic, don't worry! an ordinary picnic with his favorite plant surrounding the place is quite alright!

march 7th!! she definitely has a fun way with her words! in a good way of course! and absolutely loves hugs, and hugging you. definitely loves cuddles too, physical touch is definitely one of her love languages. she just wants to compliment you while she gets to have you in her arms like damn <33?!?! she's just so in love with it, everything about you. almost losing the words to describe you, whether or not

march just that kind of lover to fill 2, 3, 4, and even 10 jars filled with paper stars of your favorite color!

natasha.. she's like the mommy to mommy issues idk.. oh but very loving i swear on my life. like if you tell me she wouldn't just loves to always have her arms around you, or her hand cupping your cheek to kiss you. very poetic, and romantic babe bro i swear, she the type to make a full on candlelit dinner for you, petals surrounding the path on the way to the dinnertable, she's a good cook promise!!

likes to just put your hair behind your ear whenever there's a stray strand on your face. like you both just in silence, while you look at something else, and she's just busy admiring you

pela omg such a cutie!?!?! probably so touch-starved too.. but she gives little gifts and her time as her way to love! really wants to give you the world, forehead kisses with her are very common, she loves to kiss you tbh! but her neck is very sensitive, give it a little kiss and she'll be as red as a tomato.

would definitely ask to draw portraits of each other, like both of you drawing or painting each other's faces on canvases! whether or not you're good at drawing, she doesn't care, just wants to laugh off the terrible art you both do <3

qingque!!!! honestly is also a touch-starved honey, like she doesn't show it off a lot, but she really needs just a hug. and also! likes to give gifts! probably very good at gifts! very creative with them! like even the box she wraps it in is so silly. oh but she likes to give you little pecks on the cheek ong!!

please. please. buy face paint and paint each other's face, like i just know she would love to do that with you!!!

sampo is a flirty jerk i swear. he flirts with you for the sake of seeing your pretty face getting flustered. and lives and breathes for pickup lines, they're either real creative, or them generic, CORNY ahh ones. loves giving you gifts, but he has.. maybe.. stole some of them.. JUST SOME OKAY!! oh but he can cook, like i think he can cook pretty well for himself! and can bake exquisitely, uses this talent when he needs a get-out-of-jail card, aka when he owes someone a favor.

just go bake with him honestly, like just a date at home where you two bake silly little cupcakes for each other, and decorate it with goofy candy.

like i've said on here before, seele would always use her words to let you remember that you're worth something to her. and worth a lot. you place a high value in her life, and she'd die a million times if it meant you wouldn't get hurt by anyone, not even a scar. she's a bit touch-starved, yes sure, she'll be a bit shy at first, but at some point, she will initiate the cuddling<3

i feel like belobog would have many festivals now that the underworld and the overworld are together as one now, and seele would always know exactly when all these festivals would be, and it always means the world to her when you tell her yes to go with her as her date, whenever you say yes, it reminds her of when you first said yes to being her s/o<3

AAAA SERVAL!!! she's so sweetheart real!! i just know she has her own skincare routine and would so do it on you too. she likes spending time with you as her way of saying i love you!! 24/7 sleep back hugs when you cook or bake!! she's an avid lover of skin-to-skin contact i promise! physical touch is another way she tries to kiss your scars better for you<33

i just know she holds both your hands when you both kiss, whether it'd be on your temple, your nose, your cheeks, or your lips, she always ends up holding both your palms or her hand on your cheek <33

silver wolf loves you as much as she loves her games, so she would always spend time with you in the arcade, everywhere she can bring you with her!! likes your hugs, but not when other people hug her, cuz why would she want others' hug when she can have yours, and only yours.

lets you win on purpose when you guys 1v1 each other in games, because she loves whenever your face starts to glow with happiness for winning against her

sushang likes to spend time with you too! she drags you to every end of the xianzhou luofu just to find all the good food at the food stalls!! knows almost all the kids that roam around the plaza tho, and both of you play with them by running around playing games like hide-n-seek! she likes to think that time is precious, and if she spends it on you, that means you're precious :0

would so make you buy a face painting kit and gather all the kids at the plaza to make them animals (as in painting their faces with their fave animal)

tingyun spends time with you, and sometimes even brings you along when she has work! besides yukong doesn't mind~ and of course, this wouldn't be a tingyun post of mine without me saying she would tease, and would love when you get flustered from her silly words!!!! and would love physical touch ngl?!?! like falls in love all over again when you cuddle her, now you get to see her red!

just always gets so flushed in the face whenever you both share a bed, specially when your relationship first started, and being a few months in, you both are stuck in a clichè romantical trope of sharing a bed, yeah she was joking about it in the start but-- she never thought it'd actually.. happen!!

stelle would like to bring you out on every trailblaze mission she's on, and would tell you how beautiful, or how amazing, and genuine you are for years, on end. just if that's something you're comfortable with, i know that something mutual between the two trailblazing twins, is that they're always asking if you're okay with anything that concerns you. wishes she could keep you in her arms forever though<3

she will take pictures through march's camera, or even her own phone very often, so she would always show you old photos of you, and i think stelle is a very good photographer, no bad photo in sight, it makes everyone she takes pictures of a literal photogenic model, looking at old photos is what really comforts her when you aren't with her <3

caelus <33 quite similar to his somewhat twin, if he can, he will bring you to all the planets he's gotta trailblaze, he can go on for centuries just talking about how cute you are, literally gets so caught off-guard when you start to get flustered from his words alone, and to be fair he would lowkey use very.. big words. not like the ones fu xuan does, but only uses them when he talks about you, like he'll go 'oh.. you are such a pulchritudinous person, you know?'

unlike stelle.. when he pictures anyone, its all bad photos. like most of his photos on his phone, it's all such bad pictures help me.. shows them off to everyone with a very loud laugh too cuz why not ?!?!?!!?! looking at old photos is also what he'd do with you, making you laugh is also his objective while at it, so doesn't show the ones he has of you. actually the ones he has of you are the only good ones!!

welt yang is a man of taste, and divine bro, he is such a romantic. is a definite mix of everything. like he'd be so good with his words, while he has good hand placement and stuff, then again his gifts are so well-thought of. but what about the way he hopes you crave his touch as much as he crave yours?

i think im about to blow guys

Everybody needs a magical star in their life! ✨

HSR characters x Glitter Clover! NB! Reader

Part 2!

Featured characters: Asta, Arlan, Argenti, Blade, Kafka, Silverwolf, Ruan Mei, Dr. Ratio

Warnings: Fluff, and friendly sparring with Blade!

Notes: i don't know how to link part one in here 💔

Asta

Asta knew you were gentle and calm, but she didn't know of what you were capable of.

Someone was spreading bad rumors about her, the second you found out, you didn't let the person go until they weren't apologizing on their knees, crying.

Asta was shocked when she saw you walking, and dragging the person by the wrist towards her, forcing them on their knees and apologize.

"Oh jeez, someone is spreading rumors about me again..." Asta cried as you peeked and looked on her phone. "Leave it to me." She looked a bit confused at your passive aggressive tone.

A few minutes later, Asta saw you, pulling..? Someone towards her? "[Name]? What are you-" forcing the person on their knees, made Asta squeal "Eek!" You glared at the person who was on the ground signaling them to apologize. "I'm so sorry Lady Asta, i promise i won't ever spread rumors again! Forgive me please!" The person begged Asta for forgiveness. "I- i-it's alright, i forgive you."

After the person left Asta hugged you so tightly. <3

Arlan

Poor boy, he wanted to help you and protect you, yet you ended up protecting him!

He was SPEECHLESS, all he could say, were just stutters.

"Arlan? Are you alright?" You asked him, poking his cheek. "I- Uh.. y-yeah.." He was starstruck by your sudden change. "You look like you're seeing stars." His next statement led you to giggling. "Am i not tho?" Raising your finger up your lips you spoke. "Can you keeps this a secret?"

Argenti

He loves the way you look as a Glitter Warrior, and actually asks you to join him on his travels.

He even thinks you were either blessed by Idrila or are Idrila's child, he made it his mission to protect you no matter what, even if you're fully capable of doing it. <3

"Oh my, you are more than blessed with this beauty!" Argenti kneels down, takes your hand within his own and kisses your knuckles, you remained silent due to his action. "I promise you that i will protect you with my life! Please, join me on my travels!"

Kafka

She already knew your secret, Elio forseen it.

Her knew hobby was to tease you about your secret around the others, hinting at it but never actually giving it away.

"[Name], do you mind showing me that clover shield again?~" You slowly looked at her, your smile fading, trying to play dumb. "What shield..?" The others looked at you confused. "Oh, y'know, that shield. Oh wait, my bad, wrong person." The others still looked suspicious, but they didn't bother asking.

Kafka came close to your ear, whispering. "You secret is safe don't worry, i won't give it away..."

Blade

He didn't like it. Too many bright for him. He also thought it made you childish and immature.

Yet you were an even better sparring partener, but he still went easy on you, he doesn't want to hurt you. <3

You both couldn't speak about it through texts, since Silverwolf likes stealing his phone and going through his texts...

"Tch you look so immature and too bright.." Blade scoffed as you finished your transformation. "Oh shush you grumpy man."

Dashing towards you, Blade was ready to strike you, but you manage to perry by using your Clover Reflection, he kept slashing at your shield forcing your to backaway, you managed to get a small opening, and kick him, knocking him to the ground. "You.. you're getting stronger." Blade spoke while getting up.

Silverwolf

She literally thought you were either a video game character, or a hologram made by the IPC, you had to reassure her.

She liked the dynamic of your team, she would be the one hacking systems, making portals, and you would be defending her and fighting.

When Silverwolf saw you as a Glitter Warrior, she panicked. "H-hey! Where's [Name] what did you do to them?!" She was panicking, until you detransformed. "'Wolf it's me! Don't worry!" You reassured her. "Oh, i thought you were a hologram made by the IPC, i was almost gonna send you into the galaxy.."

Ruan Mei

Ruan Mei, this is a hard one, you can't tell if she is curios or if she doesn't care...

She carefully inspected you, your Glitter pad, Glitter charm, EVEN YOUR CLOTHES, it gave her a new idea for a new critter..

"How interesting.." she lifts up your arm, checking out your new outfit. "Can i look at your Glitter pad?" She looks back at you, waiting for approval. "Uh, sure go ahead." Grabbing your Glitter pad, she carefully inspects it, then hands it back to you. "I have an idea, i'll get back to you about it in a few days."

As promised she texts you to come visit her for a bit. "Ah, here you are. Come. I have a surprise." Ruan Mei gestures you to follow her. She then shows you her new creation, a critter that looked like you.

Dr. Ratio

Hates everything about it, it makes you look even more like an "idiot" in his eyes, and even immature. But you knew he didn't ACTUALLY mean it.

He secretly likes it, and makes him like you even more, especially after you helped him defeat a stinger...

"you look so childish. It accentuates your idiocy." Dr. Ratio scoffs, crossing his arms. "Oh.." it made you a bit sad. It didn't take long for him to "apologize", he doesn't apologize through wrods, rather through affection.

As you were looking down at the tip of your boots, Veritas walks closer to you, and embraces you. "Huh..? Veri-" Dr. Ratio cuts you off. "Shut up.. don't tell anyone about this and i won't tell anyone about your secret.

Hwllo I love your pregnancy simulator headcanons you did for zora and nozel

Could you please do one for fuegoleon too?

Hiya sweetie! Thank you for requesting this! I foresee I have a mutual that would love this too hehe. I'll add in Yami for this too, cause I'm missing him a little. Haven't done his request in quite in awhile. („• ᴗ •„)

Here's the link to the request for Nozel, Patri and Zora There's another one for Finral

Fuegoleon | Yami x f! reader

Fuegoleon Vermillion

Being the righteous gentleman he is, he agreed to it immediately. Salamander shook its head. He felt that he should know exactly what kind of pain you were going through, since you had your third child on the way.

You paste the stimulator on, for him. You started at level 3.

"I don't feel much honey. Feels a little ticklish."

You pressed level 5. "This is where the dilation starts, how is it?"

"okay. bearable." He walked around with the stimulator.

You pressed on 7. "we're now waiting for the right time to push~"

"Mhmm." he grunted a little, starting to feel the pain, "I think I need to sit down a little.."

He sat down with a huff and took deep breaths in and out.

You pressed 8.

"are we pushing yet, honey?" he said in between his breaths.

"nope. we're only at level 8, Fue. The dilation is not enough yet."

"Level 8?!"

You pressed 10. Fue had to sit forward and clench his fist and clutch the arm rest of the chair.

"Now you push!" you exclaimed

"honey.." he groaned, his breathing becoming laboured. "how do.. you-"

His hands reached to grab on the stimulator.

"how long-.." his sentence was more incoherent now, but you understood what he was asking

"er. usually the contractions come every 10 minutes or so and it stops after awhile..."

He was huffing and puffing, meaning that the contractions were off for now.

"And it childbirth could last like this for hours~" you reminded him.

You told him to lay down on the bed. As the contractions came, he curled his body a little.

"That wouldn't do, honey. You have to open your legs to push!" you teased him.

He tried to roll back on his back, his face muscles squirmed and tensed up. You could even see his forehead covered in sweat.

You turned the stimulator off when the contraction subsided again.

"Honey. I'm sorry you're going through this for the third time..." his face was so guilt stricken, "You're amazing for giving me 3 beautiful kids. I promise to never let them misbehave or bully you. They have to be nice to you at all times."

You laughed. Well, it gets easier one after the other, love." You grabbed a handkerchief to wipe off his sweat.

"I love you wifey." He caressed your face.

Yami Sukehiro

"no. I ain't doing that baby." he gave you the look.

"yes. you're doing it." you insisted.

Of course Yami Sukehiro could never say no to anything you wanted. He was wrapped around your pinky.

He gave a sigh as you paste the stimulator on him.

"baby. How about you press 10 right away?" Yami challenged. "Just get it over and done with."

"no?" you raised an eyebrow at him, "you have to experience the slow and gradual pain"

"you sound sick in the mind when you say that out loud, baby" he gave you a dead panned face.

"Excuse me, we woman experience this for hours. Some take 12 or more hours! I'll just let you feel the pain for a few minutes."

"okay, okay..." he was defeated, once again.

You pressed 4.

"You feel anything?"

"nope."

You pressed 6. "Dilation starts about now."

"So we're going push now?"

"no? Just a waiting game."

"I feel like might punch someone in the face if they made din right now"

You gave a little laugh, but you were impressed by your man's tolerance.

You pressed on 8.

Yami took a deep breath in and let it out slowly.

"Painful, huh." you cocked your brow and tilted your head to the side.

"I could understand why you women get upset randomly feeling this. I feel like yeeting Asta Luck and Magna right now just to let off some steam."

"Yami!" you rolled your eyes at him, "anyway, you can lie down if it's uncomfortable."

He lay down on your bed making himself comfortable. You were really impressed. This man had high tolerance to pain.

"ready for 10?"

"You mean it's not level 10 yet?"

"no?"

"what the fuck." he cursed, "okay just go."

You pressed on 10. Yami spewed a chain of curse words as the contractions came on. He scratched his head roughly.

"I don't get it, baby." he grunted.

"Get what?"

"You cry and yell at all the fuckin roaches and you go through this?"

"Hey!" you smacked his biceps

"Yeah, you can hit me now, cause I ain't feeling anything except this fucking shit."

You laughed. He must be really feeling the pain now, seeing the amount of vulgarities he was spewing.

Whenever the contractions went off, he relaxed awhile and when it came again, he was grabbing at the pillows and cursing.

"Get this damn baby out already." his face looked like he was having a bad constipation.

"Baby, remember when we had our first child, I took 8 hours?"

He eyes darted to look at you, realising all the pain you were in for that long back then.

"Yeah." you nodded your head at him, seeing that he understood what you were getting at.

"I'm sorry princess. From now onwards I'll yeet them if they misbehave, god damn it."

"You'll yeet your precious d/n?" you gave him a smirk, knowing that his little princess was his weak spot.

He paused to think for awhile, "okay you can yeet that little monkey and me out together."

Voice Check (Black Clover)

Heyo heyo how are y'all today? This is a gift for the lovely @intheticklecloset! I've had a serious craving for some good ol' Yuno Asta antics and this is the result! :D

This takes place during episode 131, so possible spoilers below the cut! (Nothing major- the episode was a filler but also freaking hilarious- y'all check it out kjarjajrjke)

Cloud 9 (Taglist Peeps):

@duckymcdoorknob @rachi-roo @imjusthere07

Summary: Yuno and Asta take a break during the day. One thing leads to another and soon Yuno is discovering a hilarious quirk about his short best friend.

“Nehehe- stohohp! Asta!” Yuno ducked down with a scrunch, giggling when his friend pressed tickly fingers into his neck. “Cut that out!”

“Heh, you haven’t changed at all!” Asta laughed, ruffling the taller boy’s hair before flopping down in the grass beside them. It was after their assistant teaching gigs; the kids were with Sister Lily at the moment, giving the boys a small break. “Father Orsi used to do that to you all the time when we were kids. You’d be close to tears only to start giggling like crazy!”

“I don’t recall that.” Yuno averted his gaze, his ears tinted red.

“You absolutely did!” Asta grinned, stretching out his arms before tucking them behind his head. “You loved it too.”

“I did not.”

“Did too!”

“Did not.”

“Did too!”

“Do you want me to end you?” Yuno tried to glare, wavering when Asta grinned at him. “Ugh, you’re as annoying as you are short.”

“Heh, yeah- NOW WAIT A MINUTE!” Asta sat up with a huff, earning a small grin from the other. “You jerk- take that back!”

“Or what?” Yuno raised a brow, feeling pretty smug. “What are you going to do?”

There was a stalemate- the two staring each other down with twitching fingers and shifty gazes. A leaf blew by and landed oh so gently…

“Gotcha-whoa!” Asta had leaped forward just as a gust of wind smacked him in the gut, sending him flying backwards. His back hit the ground with barely any pain- Yuno must have used his wind to protect him. What a great guy!

Then said mage was on him, squeezing the ever living daylights out his sides and sending ticklish waves up and across his nervous system. Not a great guy, not a great GUY-

“Yuhuhuhuhuhuhuhno! Ahehahahahhahaha, yohohohohou jeheheheheheerk!” Asta cried, kicking his feet against the grass as his friend began tickling. “Thahahhat whahhahas mihihihihihi mohohohoohohove!”

“Was it now? Sorry.” He didn’t sound sorry at all! If anything- he sounded unjustly smug, wearing that damn sly grin as he carried on dancing his fingers across Asta’s ribs. “Should have moved faster, Shortsa.” “Ahehahhahahha! Yuuhuhuhno! Yuuhuhuhno I’m gohohohohonna-NYEHEHAHHA! A cackle ripped out of the shorter mage’s throat when Yuno pressed his thumbs into each side of his belly. “Oohoohooh yoohohoohohu’re boohoohohohold!”

“Bad spot?” A thought crossed his mind then. What would happen if he…

“Aww, what’s wrong? Does it tickle too much, whittle Asta?” He cooed, using the same voice he used when he played house with the kids. He didn’t know why- he had the sudden urge to try it and see what would happen. “Does somebody have a ticklish tummy?”

“AHEHAHAHA!” Asta’s eyes widened and his face flushed a bright shade of pink- a color he never thought he’d see on the other boy. His laughter boomed as the hands going to catch Yuno’s hands quickly retreated, crossing over his face as he looked away with a whine. “Doohoohohon’t aheahhahahaha! Yuuhuhuhnoohohooohoho!”

Yuno blinked, stunned. Did Asta…?

Then it all became clear.

“No way…!” Yuno was grinning now, utterly delighted at the reaction.

“Noohohoohohoho! Nohohoohoho, tahhahaht was a fluhuhuhuke! A flu-UHUUHUHUKE!” Asta all but squealed when Yuno pressed into his lower ribs, leaning in reeeeal close as he did so. When he was barely above Asta’s ear, he released his ultimate spell.

“What’s the matter? Can whittle Asta not handle some tickles on his whittle ribs? Hmm? You can cut down magic with your anti-magic, but you can’t block out how ticklish you are, can you? I should start calling you pinksta for now on with how much you’re blushing~”

Asta couldn’t even make words- only noises through hysterical laughter as he shoved and slapped at Yuno’s shoulders, feet kicking up a storm. “EHAHAHHHAHHAHAHHA!”

“What’s wrong? Got nothing to say now?” Yuno teased, feeling on top of the world. So many times Asta had him in this exact position, flustered and giggly and unable to do more than curl up and take it. To be able to put Asta in a similar state- and with the voice he used to play house with- it was amazing!

Alas, all great things must come to an end. Seeing Asta starting to cough, he immediately retracted his hands, falling back until he was sitting beside him in the cool grass. “Heh, okay. We’re done.”

The smaller mage raised a thumbs up, far too tired to properly respond. Residue giggles and gasps escaped his lips, and tears of mirth gathered in his eyes, threatening to spill. His face- once tomato red- was slowly fading to a more reasonable peach. For a moment, Yuno felt a little bad. Did he go too far?

“Ahehahaha! Hehehhee…lohohohok at you- wehenent from beheeing tihihickled to doohohing the tihihickling!” Asta grinned, sitting up some. “Yohohou’re stiihihll more tihihckclish though!”

Nevermind.

“Shush.” Laughing himself, Yuno fell back into the grass beside him, watching the clouds roll by with his best friend. “Sister Lily’s gonna come get us soon.”

“Yeah.” Asta nodded, but made no moves to get up.

“She’ll probably lecture us for running off like she did when we were kids.”

“Then she’ll tell us if we aren’t home when she gets there we get no potatoes.”

“Heh. She never did mean it. There were always extra.”

Asta laughed, happy. For once in a long time, he felt like he did before the Magic Knights. Yuno wasn’t his rival, or someone competing with him for the title of Wizard king, but just him. Just- Yuno. “I miss this.”

“Hm.” Yuno nodded, no words needed. Instead, he bumped his knuckles into Asta’s, a looser version of their go-to sign off. They spent the rest of their break staring up at the clouds until Sister Lily came around and gave her usual warning, sending them flying down the hill like kids once more.

Asta wouldn't trade it for the world.

Thanks for reading!

I like your honkai headcanon that Stelle and Caelus are both members of the express and work together. Do you have any headcanons of the crew you've made so far?

This is more of list of vague ideas and perceptions I get.

March is a big fan of Dan Heng and Caelus. Her limited social filter works over time when they are both around her.

Caelus and Stelle sleep on the couches because they don’t have rooms; unless March is away. She always comes back to see one on top of the covers and another on the floor. They claim she has the only room that feels like a room.

Stelle goes into the Simulated Universe 10 times more than Caelus. He tends to end up dealing with more of the social requests

Kafka made Caelus how he is with Silver Wolf in mind. The implications of that drive the girl mad because what the heck does that mean!? Caelus love’s teasing her.

Stelle has conflicting feelings about Gepard. She knows he’s nice, but the Simulated Universe runs has put him at the top of her fake hit list.

Seele regularly introduces Luka as a lost dog that she is more than happy to put into someone else’s hands.

It roughly seven hours before Seele finds the person she let Luka run off with and demands his return into her custody. They’re never surprised by this. Luka told them this is how it always ends.

Bronya is dating Seele and thinks Luka is a very sweet man.

Asta has an automated reply to the trailblazers that says “ is it Svarog again?”

Completely on accident, Qingque became the trump card everyone will play in dire situations. She’s just too reliable and it makes her upset.

Sushang is everyone’s favorite. The battle is never over unless Sushang says it’s over. (She just saves my life so much. 😂😭)

Stelle:Could say things about Welt but nobody would ever look at her the same ever again. Not that Caelus can’t tell from a glance that girl wishes Welt was a man with loose integrity.

Stelle carries Clara a lot. Caelus carries hook respectfully and Bailu like a briefcase. She just pouts about it.

Stelle will go to sleep if Caelus carries her on his back. It’s like a rule of nature.

Natasha loves everyone, but desperately waits for the day another healer shows up to free her ever so slightly.

Asta thinks both trailblazers are cute and texts them the most.

Bronya likes Caelus’s hugs. He is very brotherly towards her and wishes not to stress her about anything.

Serval and Stelle are best friends.

Seele strangely feels relaxed enough to sleep anywhere as long as Luka is around keeping an eye out.

Fu Xuan has seen many possibilities where Stelle tries talking the General. The only times it works is when Stelle brings Caelus to “distract” her. She just thinks this short lived life form is pretty neat and tall. He’s starting to think Kafka just knows how to disarm short stubborn women and that’s alarming.

Sushang and Seele have been seen taking on an entire separate groups of enemies and winning without giving anyone else a turn. Instead of being tired afterwards, adrenaline and speed buffs had them acting like kids in a candy store. Everyone was impressed.

Both trailblazers are fairly introverted and accidentally called Himeko mom. They now get allowances.

Hi ducky can I please have an emergency request? can u write a story for a y/n who keeps her emotions in bc every time she tries to tell someone someone else complains about something.

and I think u started watching black clover so can u write it with luck and magna ? either together or separate is okey.

thank u 💔

Yes you sure can.

Bumping this one up bc I’m really feeling this hardcore rn

I may make this kinda self-indulgent with the issues y/n is facing???

My dms are open if you wanna vent! I’m here for you, anon. 💜💜💜💜

CW BELOW THE CUT: none.

Luck Voltia and Magna Swing

Things weren’t going too well for you, there’s no way to hide that fact.

From whatever it was, your day was poisoned by unhappiness, and you didn’t know what to do to aid it.

Of course, you refused to let any of the other bulls in on how you were feeling. It was especially difficult to keep Asta from pestering you; the kid is very attentive.

“Show. Never tell.” Is what you would tell yourself, forcing the feelings back into a tiny box.

You tried so hard to keep your face up as you walked through the base, but most days it was impossible to get anything besides a hopeless frown.

When asked how you were, you shrugged it off, merely explaining that you just have a “resting sad face”

Many believed you, nodding with an “ohh” while walking away.

But Magna we’re not buying into any of your nonsense. The two would exchange worried glances at your excuses.

When the team slowly gathered together in the living room after dinner, you were not doing great whatsoever. Your mood was sour, and you were barely focused on anything.

“Hey, everything alright?” Asta asked as he sat next to you. “You didn’t eat at dinner, and usually you have a great appetite.”

You sighed with a broken smile, “To be honest I’m-“

“Oh my god, Asta, did you see what Yami had me doing today? I didn’t get a break once! I’m so tired of being his wheels all the time,” Finral whined as he plopped down next to the anti-magic user.

To your dismay, everyone gathered around their senior to listen to his tale of woe, leaving you behind and ignored again.

You stand up and retreat to your bedroom, leaving without a single word.

You didn’t have much time alone before there was a gentle knocking on your door. “(Y/N)? Can we come in?” It was Luck’s voice…?

You didn’t reply, instead burying your head into your pillow. You heard their bickering through the door.

“Looks like we’re doing this the hard way-“

“Magna no! They didn’t give us permission to come in-“

“And what if something happened to them?? Would you rather us stand out here and do nothing when-“

“You need to respect their wishes!”

“You can come in,” you say stoically, not moving from your previous position.

The door opens slowly, revealing the two bulls.

“Hey, careful doing that,” Magna quickly made his way over to your bed, turning your head toward them. “You’ll suffocate if you don’t leave room for air.”

“Whatever…” you murmur, eyes glazed over.

“(N/N),” Luck begins, “Are you okay?”

You sit upright to greet them “Yeah I’m-“

“No, like actually okay,” he interrupts, moving to sit next to you.

There’s a solemn silence…

“Hey, (N/N), tell us what’s going on, kid,” Magna hums as he brushes a few stray hairs out of your face, sitting on your other side.

They wait with baited breath for your reply, worry evident in their eyes.

“I’m not okay… and I don’t know what to do,” you finally confess in a sotto-voce tone.

Both put a supportive hand on your back or shoulder, listening carefully.

“Everything is falling apart… and I-I’m not sure what to do. I’m usually g-good at fixing things but…” you laugh a bit in pitifulness, “I can’t even fix myself.”

“You don’t have to fix yourself; that’s why we’re here,” the mowhawked mage mutters, squeezing your shoulder gingerly.

“But what if I can’t be fixed? What if I have to live like this every day?”

“Nothing lasts forever,” Luck’s sweet voice chimes. “Time won’t stop whenever you feel sad, it will keep moving and you’ll be forced to feel better.”

“It feels so hopeless… nobody cares…” you whisper

“That’s not-“ he attempts.

“It is true. The moment Fin complained, everyone turned to listen to him instead. I don’t feel heard or respected… I don’t-“ tears start to fill your eyes “I feel so alone.”

“Hey,” Magna’s low voice sounds, “You are far from alone…” he wipes a falling tear with his thumb. “You have people who love you and are willing to support you every step of the way.”

“Yeah!” A quiet cheer of approval left the lightning mage. “You know how much we love you, and we would do anything for you to feel like yourself again.”

The flame mage gets in front of you, locking your eyes. “Tell us anything that’s on your mind… what’s making you feel like less than you are? Anything is fair game, don’t be afraid.”

You look around at their concerned faces once more, and suddenly everything falls apart. Your shoulders heave up and down as your body is wracked with the sobs you’ve been keeping hidden.

As you wail loudly, the two instantly move in to hug you. Magna cradles your head against his chest while Luck hugs around your torso and lays his head on your lap.

The two wordlessly cling onto you as you spill your tale of woe. Many—having heard your pained cries— attempt to check in multiple times. Magna shooed them instantly, shooting a death glare to anyone who tried to enter.

When you finally finished, you slumped downward, resting in their loving embrace. “Thank you…”

“Anytime, kid… anytime.” Magna whispered as he pats your shoulder.

When no response was given from the Cherry berserker, the two of you look down to notice that he had fallen asleep on your lap.

And for the first time that day, you started laughing.

yuno with a blue rose knight s/o who’s compassionate, gentle, and good-natured, maybe they have a secret relationship

ɪ ᴛʀɪᴇᴅ ᴍʏ ʙᴇsᴛ sᴏʀʀʏ ɪғ ᴛʜᴇʀᴇ ɪs sᴘᴇʟʟɪɴɢ ᴍɪsᴛᴀᴋᴇs (I couldn’t really think of a good reason the relationship would be secret srry)

You’re both vice captain for you respective teams so obviously you both attended

You noticed Yuno first he had the most stone cold stoic face ever

He felt you staring into his soul because he’s just so beautiful ( I mean who wouldn’t? )

After the meeting was over you went up to Yuno on his way out and started up a conversation about being vice captains and all the duties that comes with it

Surprisingly he was interested. he doesn’t seem like the type of guy to give girls or people in general the time of day to speak to him.

After that you two saw each other at the meeting over and over again. He was the only reason you liked going now.

The conversations you had afterwards always left you feeling like he was warming up to you and his smile would get bigger each time you two met.

After a couple of times he asked you out to have a walk around the town and of course you agreed. He old you about his life and the orphanage and about asta and his teammates.

And you happily sat there at listened tuning in when necessary. He apologized for ranting on about himself so much. He felt so comfortable around you that he could just express himself openly.

He told you that he noticed you the first time at the meeting. Even before you noticed him. But he didn’t think you would give him the time of day.

You two went out many more

Times after that and he finally asked you to be his!

You always loved how good Yuno was with his words always reassuring you when you felt stressed or not good enough.

You always were the one to act on physical touch because more of the time Yuno was too shy to start something. But you never minded.

The relationship was lowkey but never a secret. You two never cared if people knew or didn’t.

So, for those of you who don't know, Charlotte is my (current) favourite character. She's been one of my favourites since I started the series, but now she's in the top spot. Which means it's her turn to get put through torment in fic. Hey, that's just the price you pay for being the favourite.

Anyway, as those of you who are familiar with my writing probably know, I like pulling characters apart and figuring out what makes them tick so I can depict them falling apart in a more believeable way. For some characters it's fairly easy to figure out what the core of their motivation is (Asta wants to be acknowledged as worth something even though he lacks magic) others it's far harder (I still don't know what the fuck motivates Yami). I thought Charlotte would be a tricky one, until I was rereading the manga and came across this panel. (specifically the middle one)

(official VIZ media translation; volume 12, chapter 104, page 72)

She's just been cursed. We don't exactly how old she is in this scene (I tend to put her at twelve, for a couple of reasons, but that doesn't change the fact that canon hasn't actually given us an answer), or even why she's been cursed, but the fact remains that she has just been cursed. And yet she is the one reassuring her parents. She is telling them not to worry. She's the one telling them that she'll fix this. And she's just a kid! She is canonically just a kid!

(Official VIZ media translation, volume 18, chapter 169, page 130)

This is the start of Charlotte shouldering every burden she comes across. She has to do everything herself and if she can't she's not good enough (I know it's anime-only but her "I should be executed" line over being possessed against her will raises a lot of red flags for me). She also holds everyone else to these impossible standards, rejecting every suitor she meets immediately. If they can't keep up, they aren't good enough, and nobody can keep up. She's pushing herself harder and harder and harder because if she doesn't, if she doesn't give everything she has to break this curse then she definitely won't, and the curse activating its going to be her fault for not trying hard enough. She canonically calls herself pathetic and apologises when it inevitably activates. She sees this as a personal failing.

(official VIZ media translation, volume 12, chapter 104, pages 73 & 74)

Never mind the fact that she is, at most, twelve years old when cursed. Which means that she's lived a minimum of six years with it hanging over her head. Sure, she keeps saying she's going to break it, but there has to be a part of her who is convinced that, when she turns eighteen, she's basically going to die.

On top of that, the fact that she's cursed is caonically common knowledge. We get all the townspeople outside screaming about it. This implies that a lot of people know she's cursed. Know she's different. And, well, you're here on Tumblr. I'm sure you know what happens to people who are different. They get socially isolated. That would explain her trouble talking to people about her feelings. And her issues with expressing herself.

So, we've got this girl, who is no more than twelve, is suddenly being shunned by all her peers for something she can't control, has decided to shoulder the entire burden of this curse (everyone else we see talking about it in the flashback says "curse on House Roselei" or something to that effect, Charlotte says "my curse"), keeps pushing herself to try and do what, as far as we can tell from canon, is impossible, and is convinced that if she can't pull off the impossible she's going to basically die on her eigthteenth birthday.

Oh, and all of this is happening around the age she's supposed to be figuring herself out.

The fact that she is a fully functioning adult is a goddamn miracle.

Looping back to my original point though, I think that, at the core of her character, Charlotte is someone who wants to believe that she's worth saving. And not because of her power, or her family name, or her looks. She's desperate for someone to look and see her and see someone worth saving. But she's bad at expressing herself and also scared that if she lets anyone in close they're just going to let her down like everyone else she thought would save her when she was cursed did, so she snaps and she snarls and she drives people away because if people are going to leave anyway (because of the curse) then it's easier to drive them off first, because at least that way she can pretend it's what she wanted rather than being abandoned again.

You Like Him! (Black Clover)

Collab w/@giggly-squiggily!

Summary: Asta figures out that Yuno has feelings for Leopold Vermillion, but Yuno isn't willing to admit it without some encouragement.

A/N: AHHHH this was so fun to work on! Collabing with my friend Squiggily is always a fun time! We were both feeling Black Clover lately and decided to do a two-part series where I wrote for her ship and she wrote for mine! I think it turned out really cute!! ^^

To read her story, click here! (There will also be a link at the end of this fic.)

Word Count: 2060

~~~

Yuno prided himself on keeping his cool at all times. Never showing if he was flustered, shaken, upset, or anything else. He rarely even showed when he was happy. People didn’t know how to read him, and he liked it that way.

“You’re a tough one to beat, my rival,” Leopold Vermillion said grandly, hands on his hips as he grinned down at Asta, who was sitting beside Yuno. The two of them had tried to take a few minutes to catch up before going back to their respective headquarters with their squads, but as usual, someone had come to interrupt them.

Not that Yuno minded this one. Not that he’d let himself smile up at the redhead who wasn’t even looking at him.

“So are you,” Asta replied to him now, leaning back on his elbows and smirking. “But I won’t quit! I’ll surpass you and Yuno and everyone to become the Wizard King!”

Leo laughed in that particular Vermillion way and gave Asta a thumbs-up, turning to catch up to his sister, who was screaming at him to get back in line. “I won’t forget it – and right back at you, my rival! See you next time.”

Yuno watched him leave, proud of himself for not giving away what was going on inside of him while in the presence of the fiery young noble.

Until he felt Asta looking at him, and he turned to see his best friend squinting at him in that way he did when he knew something was up, he just hadn’t figured it out yet.

“What?” he asked dryly.

Asta stared at him for another long moment, then his lips curled up into a grin that put Yuno on edge.

“You like him!” Asta declared.

Yuno rolled his eyes and darted his eyes away, willing his ears not to burn and give him away. “Don’t be ridiculous.”

“I didn’t know you liked guys.”

The wind mage hunched his shoulders in an involuntary flinch, turning his head away entirely. “Shut up, Asta.”

“No – wait, that came out…weird. I don’t mind! I think it’s great!” There was a brief pause, and then Asta put a hand on his shoulder and made him turn at least part of the way around so he could see his profile. “Hey, you know you’re my friend no matter what, right? I support you regardless of who you like.”

It was clumsy, but it was Asta, and Yuno felt himself relax. He nodded once in acknowledgement. “I know. Thanks.”

Asta let out a relieved breath, then punched him playfully and reiterated, “But you like him!”

“Again, shut up.”

“How long? What is it about him? I want to know everything!”

“No.”

“Oh, come on,” Asta whined playfully, shaking his shoulder now in an effort to be annoying enough to get his way. “I’ve told you everything about Sister Lily!”

“Never said I wanted to hear any of it,” Yuno replied with a smirk, and then before his friend could sputter an indignant retort, he shrugged his hand away and said, “It doesn’t matter anyway.”

Somehow, that only made Asta more indignant. “What do you mean, it doesn’t matter?”

“It just…doesn’t.” Yuno glanced in the direction Leo had gone, silent for a moment. “He doesn’t exactly have eyes for me.”

Asta was silent too. Then, “What – you think he likes me? Don’t you think I’d notice if someone had feelings for me?”

Yuno couldn’t help but turn to face him incredulously. Was he serious right now? Thoughts of that royal girl from the Black Bulls flitted into his mind, but before he could dwell on them, his friend was talking again.

“He doesn’t like me, Yuno. And even if he did, I’m pretty sure I’m not into guys, so it’s not like I’d be competing with you there—”

“Shut up, Asta.”

The anti-magic boy was beaming so wide at this point it was a wonder his face didn’t split in half. “You’ve got it bad, Yuno! Pleeeeease tell me about it?”

“There’s nothing to tell.”

“Don’t tell me you’re in denial!”

Yuno resolved that saying nothing was probably the best route at this point. When Asta got fired up about something, the only way to ride it out was to keep quiet until he burnt out his own flame.

At least…that was usually a good enough retreat.

“At least admit you’ve got feelings for him,” Asta tried.

Yuno tensed. This was probably bad. It was probably very, very bad for him. He darted a glance at his best friend’s expectant gaze, then away again. He swallowed. The thing was, he wanted to say it. He wanted to talk to Asta about it. He just…couldn’t. What was the point, when he didn’t know if Leo even liked guys, too?

Asta let out a low whistle. “Wow, Yuno. You’ve got it really bad, don’t you?”

The wind mage wanted to tell him to shut up again, but it was no use. His friend was on a roll now, and he’d lost the battle against his burning ears a long time ago.

The hand on his shoulder was back, and Asta’s voice was surprisingly gentle as he said, “Hey, don’t worry. I’ll help you loosen up enough to get the words out.”

It was a trap.

Yuno turned to look at him again just as fingers pinched his side, making him press his lips together to keep the squeak in, his eyes widening.

“Don’t,” he pleaded even as Asta reached for him again, this time succeeding in getting a snicker out of him. “You idiot, dohohohon’t!”

Asta reached for him with both hands now, squeezing and scribbling into his sides, and despite his best efforts, Yuno couldn’t help but break into a grin and giggle softly. He gripped his friend’s wrists and tried to push him away while squirming out of his grasp, but the second he thought he was getting away, his best friend – who knew him and all of his spots all too well – grabbed onto his leg and squeezed his kneecap.

“Hehehehey!” Yuno snickered, forced to either take it or try to fight him off again and choosing the latter. He leaned forward to push him away, and that’s when Asta really struck.

“Gotcha!” the smaller boy declared triumphantly, tackling Yuno to the ground and swinging a leg over to straddle his, fingers digging into his sides ruthlessly.

Yuno gasped and burst into more consistent giggles, unable to squirm nearly as much thanks to Asta’s weight on his legs. “Ehehehehehehehe! Dohohohohohohon’t!”

The anti-magic boy grinned down at him. “Feeling loosened up yet, Yuno? Hmm?”

“Nohohohohohohohoho!”

“Don’t worry – I’ll get you to admit your feelings eventually.” Asta smirked and slipped a sneaky hand up Yuno’s shirt to scribble at his lowest set of ribs teasingly. Yuno squeaked and arched to try and escape, but it was all for naught. “Hehe, still a good spot, eh? Tickle, tickle!”

If Yuno’s ears had been burning before, they were an inferno now. He instinctively covered up his face with one hand while frantically trying to push Asta away from his ribs with the other. “Dohohohohon’t dohohohoho thahahahahahahat, Asta!”

“Hmmm?” Asta hummed teasingly, pulling Yuno’s face-covering hand away and scribbling into his now exposed ribs at the same time. “Don’t do what?”

“You knohohohohohohow whahahahahahahat!” The wind mage couldn’t help but let out a snort when Asta tweaked his bottom set playfully. His friend’s face lit up like a sunrise, and Yuno whined through his increasing giggles. “Nohohohohoho, plehehehehehehease! Ahahahahahahasta!”

“Just admit it, Yuno – you’ve got it bad for Leeeeeeo~” Asta giggled along with him, scooting up so he was straddling his friend’s waist now, both hands under the taller boy’s shirt to tickle his skin directly. Both of them knew from years of experience that it was a surefire way to get him to give in.

“Shuhuhuhuhuhuhut up!” Yuno pleaded, snorting again, trying uselessly to twist away.

“Nooooope!” Asta was being purposely annoying, and it was only making everything tickle so much worse! “You liiiiiike him! Just admit it and I’ll let you go~”

Yuno was losing his mind. Technically speaking Asta wasn’t tickling him very hard and he wasn’t even going for his worst spot, but the consistency and the teasing were what were driving him up the wall. He wanted to say it…he just couldn’t!

“I cahahahahahahan’t, Asta – plehehehehehehease!” he tried begging, but his refusal only sparked more determination in his never-give-up best friend.

“Oh, you can – and you will!” Asta pressed his thumbs into Yuno’s ribs and began creating tiny, ticklish circles as he teased, “Maybe this will convince you to admit it!”

“Ahahahahahahahasta!” Yuno cried, arms flying down to try and cover himself up, push him away, anything – but Asta only forced his arms to the ground and scooted up even further to sit on them too, rendering him totally helpless and with even less mobility. “Gehehahahahahaha! Plehehehehehehease, stahahahahahahap!”

“You like Leo~” Asta sang at him, grinning when Yuno laughed so hard at the combined tickling and teasing that he began to wheeze. “That’s all you have to say! Just admit it to yourself – you’ll feel better afterwards!”

All Yuno knew at this point was how much Asta’s gentle consistency tickled, and he’d laughed so much his head was a fuzzy warm blanket that didn’t understand the concept of embarrassment or reservation anymore. He whined, and Asta’s thumbnails dug into those incredibly ticklish spots on his ribs, and finally the words slipped out of him without him entirely realizing it.

“I like him! I lihihihihihihihike him! Plehehehehease, Asta!” Yuno tossed his head back and cackled when his friend dug in even harder for a moment just for good measure. “Ahahahahahahasta!”

“Heh, all right, I’ll stop.” Asta let up as promised and climbed off of his friend, leaving him a gasping, giggling mess on the ground. The smaller boy ruffled his hair playfully. “See? That wasn’t so hard, was it?”

For a few more moments, Yuno lay there giggling and clutching his ribs protectively, grinning up at the darkening sky. Then his smile flickered and he let out a resigned breath. “I’ve…liked him for a while now.”

Asta crossed his legs and leaned forward eagerly, like they were kids back in school at story time. He nodded encouragingly. “How long?”

“It’s been coming on so gradually I can’t even say. I can’t pinpoint exactly when I realized.” Yuno glanced away again, in the direction Leo had gone several minutes ago now. “But I don’t want to dwell on it too much.”

“Why not?”

“Well…how am I to know if he likes guys or not?”

Asta smirked. “You could always ask him.”

“That would be as good as admitting I have feelings,” Yuno grumbled.

“And that’s a problem because…?” Asta asked. When his friend didn’t reply, he nodded again. “I could ask him if you want.”

“No.” Yuno shook his head and turned to look at him, eyes serious. “I’ll do it. Just…when the time is right.” He paused, then sighed again. “But he’s a noble. They have rules about who they can be with.”

“Leo isn’t next in line for his house or anything,” Asta reminded him gently, nudging him with his foot. “You have a chance, Yuno.”

At that moment, a third voice joined theirs, making both of them jump.

“There you are, Asta,” the royal girl from the Black Bulls that Yuno had recalled earlier strode up to them, frowning at her teammate. “I know you want to catch up with your friend, but Captain Yami is getting impatient. We have to go.”

“Aww, all right,” Asta said, getting to his feet and helping Yuno to his after him. He held out his fist. “Catch you later, Yuno. And good luck.” He winked.

Yuno kept his face impassive now that it wasn’t just the two of them anymore, but he nodded and tapped Asta’s fist with his own – their signature sign-off. “Later, Asta.”

He watched the two of them leave, Asta chattering away and his lady friend trying and failing to look like she wasn’t hanging on every word. He chuckled to himself, remembering his friend’s claim that he’d be able to tell if someone had feelings for him.

You’re just as hopeless as I am, he thought. Then he turned and went to search for his own teammates.

Was Ratio a Good Free Five Star?

TL:DR All the things that make him look bad on paper as a free five star are exactly why he was frankly a FANTASTIC choice.

But I do mean it when I say that on paper he looks like Hoyo taking an L while we get left with Ratio. Not because he's bad though. For entrenched players like me, he was exciting. A main DPS that had to have a team comp that was pretty different from a lot of the other hyper carries out there since most supports, especially the hyper carry ones, don't do debuffs. If you try Tingyun and Bronya next to him, you'll often end up missing on MASSIVE damage since you need those three debuffs on the enemies. So who supports him best? That's an exciting question for someone with a wide variety of characters.

BUT.

A free five star like this is literally never for the entrenched players. It's a nice gift to them but this sort of thing is either a sign of desperation as they plead for old players to come back or it's a marketing trick to pull new players in. As Star Rail is still one of the best in its genre monetarily and Ratio was put out specifically because of all the awards it had just won, it was clearly the latter. A way to pull people in while the buzz around the game was big. Finally convert any last Genshin players who were on the fence while also finally moving people over from ALL the other team comp focused, turn-ish based gachas out there. A flex of dominance.

With that in mind... Think about who your first half a dozen, guaranteed characters are. Only half of Trailblazer has a debuff and it lasts one turn. March 7th has her freeze on her ultimate and that lasts for one turn. Dan Heng is the only member of the team with a debuff through his skill but it's only a two turn debuff and again: requires a skill point.

Then after that, the next three guaranteed are Asta, Serval and Natasha. Asta doesn't have a debuff without her trace ability to burn on basic meaning you have to get actually a decent bit into the game to actually get a debuff through her. Serval finally gives you a long lasting debuff with her Shock DoTs and can even extend those, making her not that skill point intensive. Then Natasha is, well... A healer who eventually dispels debuffs, not adds to them.

So two planets into the game and a new player could theoretically have a team of characters who all have debuff on skill but one of those debuffs lasts one turn and they ALL need to be using their skills most rounds in order to keep up the three debuffs to guarantee Ratio has good damage... On his skill. In a game where, unless you have a limited time 5 star that ISN'T free, you only have up to five skill points a round and that's only if you used a lot of basic attacks before hand. If you invest in her, you can swap one of them for Asta who I think would have her burn on basic to help but you'd still be running at a pretty extreme deficit mostly.

That is what you're guaranteed and so the shiny five star you were given, who was pushed towards you, is... Awkward. To put it mildly. Even potentially frustrating as every time you miss with his skill is a failure and feels AWFUL. Worse yet, you can so clearly see how he could work and how he could be strong!

And that's why he's amazing as the free five star.

I've jumped into plenty of long running gacha games that had guaranteed five stars or the like and do you know what happens? They make my brain turn off entirely for the starting content because they are usually demonstrably more powerful than anything else I have and the early game content wasn't designed around them. Even 3rd Impact, which I tried to get into now that it's on PC, has this problem where early on, they actually throw so many 5 star characters at you that you have to pick and choose between them instead of literally anyone else they give you early on. It's overwhelming but it also makes any curve of power just vanish as suddenly you are tackling content already meant to be easy with a character you don't have to think about with.

Ratio (and admittedly a lot of things about Star Rail) avoids this by being a character that requires characters who can work with him to function. He DEMANDS thought and in a way that leans into Star Rail's greatest strength: The fact that team comp matters. I could do an entire blog on how I think Star Rail is genuinely a breath of fresh air for turn based combat but this really is the big one for this blog. A new player is given this new five star who not only demands intelligence as a character trait but also for gameplay purposes. Can't figure out how to make him work? Then his gift is wasted on a fool like you. Maybe find someone a bit more your speed?

And as a Seele main who's only 5 star they used (besides Trailblazer) for over a month of play was Seele when the game came out... I wouldn't have wanted to be given Seele for free. Seele is a great character but she is monstrously powerful, even when played poorly. I don't even hyper carry with my Seele and I can tell you that she'll wreck house for a LONG time just on her own. She doesn't showcase the depth and strategy of the game, especially early on, and so a new player would just think that the game is simple and basic. They'd get bored with the character they potentially see as their win button and move on to a different game.

And for those stubborn enough to go "No, I am using Ratio!" then he becomes a goal. Not only does every limited 5 star that comes out suddenly look all the more appealing if they do debuffs (Boy was Kafka a fucking perfect pairing with Ratio's banner btw) but every four star is all the more exciting because hey, do they do debuffs? How many? How efficiently? How can they fit into the dream team that made me first get into the game?

Just by existing within a player's roster, one way or another, he raises questions about the game that ask the player to dive deeper into the mechanics of the game than they would have otherwise. Makes them think more about the early game, when it's going to be at its slowest, than most mobile games would ever even risk doing until they can hope sunk cost is keeping you there. He's not just a shiny trophy but an actual hook into players, old and new.

Frankly, if I had to say anything critical about choosing him, it's that he's just not had any good content associated with him. I think his quest, especially post 2.0, will mostly be a let down for any new players who came in partially because of him, especially if they decided to force him as their main. Admittedly, he's the like ONLY good thing about that quest (I could do a blog just about why that quest is bad) but even he doesn't get to shine in it. Penacony hasn't done him any favors either with his brief appearance so far. His writing is very strong though, easily some of the best of the smart characters in Star Rail, and his personality is interesting even in those appearances so they're not all bad, just that they could easily be disappointing to those new players who had to wait a while to get to see their boy in story.

But I suppose it had to falter somewhere. Hoyo has a tough act to follow if they ever give out a free five star for Star Rail again and keeping it in the realm of those who are simply intelligent, rather than having pulled off something only a genius could, is befitting for the good doctor. Have a good day everyone and until next tale.

In response to this and this comment I got, I decided to turn my replies into its own ramble post, mainly about Hornet.

The way I picture it, Hornet goes gathering whenever she patrols the areas around Dirtmouth, she sets her hunting traps and collects fruits, leaves, roots, anything she can use as ingredients (or whatever Zote eats). So when she returns home, she brings something for everyone. Back when she was surviving on her own, this was part of her daily routine, so she has no problem continuing it now, especially since it makes her feel more useful. She'll often collect extra ingredients for Ogrim's diner, which he pays for with geo (even if she keeps telling him there's no need).

Of course, FPK often eats by himself whenever he goes hunting, but he'll never say no to a family dinner even if he's not hungry. He loves spending time with the rest of the family, so family dinners would make him incredibly happy. That said, I wouldn't say those group dinners are actually very common. Since Ogrim's place located very close to their house, they often eat there, Grimm and FPK especially, though they also occasionally go on dates and eat in the city (Grimm knows a nice place that is in a relatively secluded area, with its owner owing him a debt, so it's safe for FPK). Hornet also usually eats alone or with Holly and Zote, sharing what she gathered with them while they hang out.

But sometimes she feels inspired to cook something for everyone so that they can all eat together. This is how she shows that she cares, since she's terrible at voicing it, and the others make sure to show their appreciation. So whenever she prepares a meal with everyone in mind, Grimm and FPK change their plans so they can help her prepare a family dinner.

She'd try to match everyone's tastes. A meal heavy in meats for herself, FPK and Holly, something with more fruits and a sweeter flavor for Grimm and Lewk, and a vegetarian meal for Zote. She even makes a softer meal for the twins, they're still toothing and they need softer foods, so that they can join the table. I like to think she learns to really enjoy cooking over time (a passion Lewk picked up by watching her) so this is something she would be happy to do.

And the sight of everyone together and joyful would make her feel all warm inside, and give her hope that perhaps things will finally be alright now. That she can finally open up and enjoy the family life she desperately wanted for so many years. A complete family, something she never got to experience.

I think it's at those moments that she looks at Grimm and sees a father in him, and at Zote, who isn't a brother or even a cousin to her, but is still part of the family. She looks at FPK and Holly, her blood family, and appreciates that they're still here with her after everything that happened. She looks at the kids, at Lewk, whose arrival caused a lot of conflict in her mind, but whom she learned to love and cherish, and at Asta and Milo, her little siblings who still have so much to see and learn, and who brought even more joy to the house and her life.

She struggles to tell them how much she cares, and she will keep struggling for a long, long time. But she hopes that, by doing things like this, the family dinners, the trinkets she brought home because they reminded her of someone in the family, the little acts of care, that the others know that she values and appreciates them more than anything.

Black Clover Cafe AU

Based on a silly little post.

(Note: I’m not actually that well versed in cosplay restaurant culture. This is mostly just a shitpost. For funsies.)

……….

Secre Swallowtail is the owner of Black Bird, a popular butler cafe.

Men in crisp, black suits. Varnished wood furniture. Fancy European style tea sets and table settings. There’s even a glasswork chandelier. It’s your typical aristocratic atmosphere for a butler cafe.

The men working at Black Bird aren’t just dressed as butlers but they also are assigned certain attitudes or archetypes to play into. Some are just kind of an exaggerated version of their normal selves while others really have to enter a character.

Sukehiro Yami is a “bodyguard” butler. A lot of his lines and mannerisms play up a protective persona. For example, he can ask to put an arm around a customer to guard them on their way to a table. He is also actual security for the cafe and has punched a guy unconscious to protect the customers. He’s the most popular butler.

Asta is the clumsy, “new hire” butler. He’s supposed to act meek and apologetic as he tries extra hard to serve customers. Also he’s not actually allowed to drop anything. At most he can bump into a chair or table (but NEVER a customer).

Finral is of course the flirty butler. Acting so suave for customers. He gives each lady a flower (never the same one twice in a row and they change with the seasons). His lines include him muttering “ah, but an esteemed lady/lord like you shouldn’t be seen with a lowly butler like myself.” Super cheesy stuff.

Gordon is the mysterious type of butler. He’s allowed very few “lines” outside of the standard “Welcome milady/master” or “As you wish.” It’s part of his charm, allowing customers to wonder what such a quiet, polite man like him is thinking. He gets extra points for being the only butler with prominent make-up (his black lipstick and eyeliner isn't as heavy as it appears in canon).

Henry is the sweetest of sweetheart butlers, the deredere if you will. He’s never failed to make a customer smile. Gives lots of compliments, similar to Finral, but with platonic intent. He’s also the one who writes the menu, making everything sound as delicious as possible.

Gauche is the harsh, “tsundere” butler. Instead of saying “it’s not like I like you” he would say “I didn’t choose to serve you.” 😆 But he always follows up with a small smile and “But I’m happy to do so now.” Also serves as security for the cafe.

Zora’s butler persona is meant to be a bit of a sadist. He gets to have a bossy attitude with customers. “You will drink this tea and you will like it” or “What makes you think I’ll take your order?” are things he might say. “Mocks” customers for how much they rely on him.

Nacht’s archetype in the cafe is basically a possessive yandere. Warns customers not to let any butler but him serve them and to appreciate all his hard work, because he only does it for them.

Fuegoleon plays an stern butler, not smiling and always insisting on his “duty” to the clients. He speaks very kindly to customers despite that. He has to fight back smiles because customers are so happy to see him and that makes him happy.

William is a straightforward gentleman archetype. Bowing and pulling out chairs, stuff like that. One gimmick he has is reciting poetry to customers. He’s the second most popular butler at the cafe.

Rill’s butler persona is haughty and a perfectionist. Always claiming his service and even those he serves are a cut above the rest. He also will occasionally play the piano to enhance the classy atmosphere.

Nozel is almost a blend of Gauche and Fuegoleon, stern like Fuegoleon and abrasive like Gauche but also displays an aloofness that neither portray. He's genuinely surprised with the popularity of his frigid persona. He was originally set in the “yandere” role before Nacht came along (and he’s very glad to be out of it).

Yuno isn’t a waiter. He’s too shy for it so he cleans up after customers (still dressed as a butler for aesthetics). Customers are really upset that he never serves as a waiter.

Magna and Luck definitely aren’t butlers either. They’re in the kitchen stacking and cutting sandwiches, as well as baking the various desserts on the menu.

Klaus and Marx are in charge of the drinks. Marx mostly works with the teas while Klaus focuses on the types of coffee they carry. There are non caffeinated drink options but the tea and coffee is highlighted as part of the aesthetic.

Jack is the head chef of the establishment. From the quiches for lunch to the pan-fried meats for dinner, Jack's got it covered. He's also got his fancy knife work which turns plain fruits and veggies into works of art.

Secre makes sure the uniforms get changed every once in a while to match the season.

Each employee actually goes by a different name while at work to protect their identities. That goes for the kitchen staff too despite never being seen in the front of house.

Nacht actually has extra identity protection by wearing a wig since outside of work, he’s actually still bleaching his hair like a delinquent.

Also, each employee has a “signature dish” on the menu based on their butler persona and a food they actually like.

Silver Cats & Black Roses

Chapter 7 – Advices from Rivals

A/N Nothing much, just Yami and Nozel getting advice from their respective rivals... because they NEED that right now when it comes to Charlotte and Vanessa 💜💙 @thoughtfullyrainynightmare Fuegoleon giving romantic advice, would that be something to cheer you up a bit?

Ao3 link

♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣

Yami didn’t like captains meeting. It would have been better if those weren’t weekly, but monthly. Or once a year. Or never at all to begin with.

Geez, if he had known that being a captain came with responsibility, lots of fricking paperwork and boring meetings, to just name a few examples, maybe he would never have accepted to become a captain in the first place.

But at the same time, it gave him the opportunity to have some fricking authority, he had been able to give a home to all the knights that were his brats and he had a fixed job, to just name a few examples. So maybe, he took the right choice to shut up and endure all the negative sides of being a captain.

Which didn’t change the fact that weekly captains meeting were a fucking pain. All that wasted time during which he couldn’t gamble, drink a good beer or most importantly, taking a well-deserved dump.

Or investigate the whereabouts of Prickly Queens lost and mysterious half-sibling. That was actually somehow more important for him than taking a dump.

Yami took a side-glance at Charlotte, sitting next to him, like always. Ever since they started their research on the lost sibling, they became undoubtedly closer. She was still hurting his delicate little heart with her harsh words, but she never did run away from him again while screaming her lungs out, which was definitely a progress.

But he still didn’t understand her Ki. Interacting more with her somehow didn’t made it easier to read Charlotte, but even more complicated. It didn’t make any sense to Yami. Then again, nothing ever seemed to make sense when Prickly Queen was involved.

Yami didn’t like that uncertainty between them. He never realized it before, but since two weeks, he couldn’t help but wonder what was between them.

Friendship? Something else? All possible options somehow didn’t make any sense to him and in this cause, Yami highly doubted that the impossible options would make sense at all.

All he knew was that he wanted to help Prickly Queen to find her lost sibling. He really wanted to help her. She was one of the best people he knew and one of the most kind-hearted as well. Always putting everyone and everything before herself, it was just fair that she did something for herself for once. And he wanted to help to achieve that.

Okay, Charlotte had no idea what she would do once she find that mysterious half-sibling and the mom, she was still hurting her head to decide how she would act at that meeting. But they weren’t there yet and honestly, Yami didn’t think that it was that important to think about how she should act. He knew Prickly Queen will find out instinctively once she’s there, she didn’t need to plan a whole speech or fifty steps ahead or something.

All Yami hoped was that the half-sibling won’t accuse Charlotte in any way. After all, it wasn’t her fault her father had an affair and was dumb enough to carelessly conceiving a bastard. She shouldn’t pay for something her jerk of a father did.

Charlotte was the most honourable person he knew, besides Asta and old Julius.

Mushroom Head was still listing points to discuss, old Julius was giving more details on said points. At least, as much as he could. Marx always had to clarify something when Julius forgot a point… which was quite often.

Yami sighed quietly. He never said much during those meetings, only if it was necessary. And now, after the whole shitty mess in Spade, when it was finally a period of peace, he thankfully not much to say again. At least, it was one way to make the meeting end sooner.

If only the other captains would also say nothing until the end, it would be over in five or ten minutes.

“The thievery within the Common Realm are still mysterious, it seems,” Julius said thoughtfully. “Anything new since your last investigations?”

“Unlike with what we first thought, it has to be organized. The thieves were merely tools to some kind of bigger scheme, it seems. Undercover missions would be more adequate for this kind of crimes,” Fuegoleon reported. Honestly, if there was someone who would talk for all the captains, then it would be Hard Nose.

Undercover, huh? Yami doubted if most of his brats were considered perfect for those kind of missions. Except Nacht, but he was still basically never at the Hideout and he preferred still to accept the missions directly from the Wizard King than from his own captain. Yami wondered if he should feel kinda insulted by this behaviour from time to time.

Oh, and Zora could also be pretty good for undercover missions. Or Gordon, he was calm enough to not be seen. Maybe Vanessa, she could mend in a crowd, but she might be just last resort. The rest? Yami wouldn’t believe they could be good at undercover missions, unless they prove him wrong.

“Good idea, Fuegoleon. The best would also be probably to do undercover groups, with knights from different squad. This way, we beat two birds with one stone, catching the mastermind behind the thievery and reinforcing the teamwork between the squads.”

Yami hold back a groan. Not that he didn’t agree that teamwork was good between the squads, but those kind of crap means a lot more of paperwork to do and unlike with his brats, he couldn’t delegate all of it to the other captains. Fuegoleon already scolded him for trying to delegate everything to Finral, much to his wheels relief. Nozel just did his own part and told him that it was his own fault for not doing his. Kaiser at least had been kind enough to suggest to do paperwork together and he helped him even with it.

Yeah, only one positive experience out of three, Yami wasn’t eager to do more teamwork with the other squads.

Although… if the Black Bulls could be on a common mission with the Blue Roses, he wouldn’t mind it. Especially if it meant to spent more time with Prickly Queen.

Yami stopped focusing for a second. Was he really eager to spent more time with that prickly majesty? And why was the answer yes without hesitation?

Charlotte was messing with his mind again, without even knowing it.

And his heart, because that damn organ really started to acted weirdly the more time he spent with Prickly Queen.

He was clearly missing something, but no scenario he imagined made any sense.

“Good, I’ll contact you in due time. Marx, is there anything else to discuss.”

“No.”

“Good, then you’re all dismissed. Have a nice rest of the afternoon. As for me, I’ll-“

“You’ll come with me, sir. You still have the paperwork of last month to finish.”

Mushroom Head just took old Julius’ wrist before he was even able to sneak away. Poor Mushroom Head, honestly. Maybe he deserved a break. And a raise. And some vacation.

Before he could leave his seat, Charlotte put a hand on his arm. “I’ll go back to the Roselei mansion today. Maybe I’ll find out finally who served my father all those years ago.”

“Yeah, you nobles surely have a lot of servants. But must be quite useful to have them around. Maybe I’ll recruit some for my squad.”

“If you’ll find servants with enough strong will to endure the Black Bulls. I’ll call you if I find something.”

“’kay. See you until then, Prickly Queen.”

Charlotte nodded, but didn’t move. Just looking at him intensely, but not with harshness.

Like always, Yami was taken aback. Every time they were now close to part ways, Charlotte was just glancing at him with a lot of intensity, to a point that Yami couldn’t help but look back just as strong.

Those fucking glances were also messing with his mind and his heart, because he couldn’t think clearly anymore. He just saw those bright blue eyes, her blonde hair changing shades depending on the light, her delicate frame, those long eyelashes and the perfectly full lips…

Charlotte was such a beauty…

“Goodbye, Yami.”

With that, Charlotte broke the staring before Yami was even able to finally understand it and left him there.

Yami groaned. He hated how Prickly Queen always started to stare at him, only to break the eye contact without any explanation. Even his brats’ daily mess wasn’t as frustrating as this.

And why was he so upset about it?

Well, that was like always just future Yamis problem.

Charlotte left pretty quickly, all the other captains were still starting to leave slowly. Rill and Kaiser talked about their plans for the evening, Jack laughed loudly about slicing something, Dorothy sleepwalked and the two royals were apparently talking.

Nozels Ki showed his annoyance and another thing that became more and more presence each passing week.

Yami didn’t cared that much about Braids, but that guy’s Ki really started to act weirdly. To a point that Yami couldn’t help but notice. It had softly started after the return from Spade, but that strange new thing of the Ki just intensified those last two weeks.

Somehow, Yami only saw one explanation. Braids was probably in love or at least in the process of falling in love. Which was utterly unbelievable coming from Nozel Silva, the cold royal captain of the Silver Eagles. But the point was, the Ki never lied.

Of course Yami would know if someone was in love just by reading Ki. He wasn’t stupid like Asta, he was able to recognize love when he Ki-read it.

Yami had no idea if she should find this hilarious or annoying. Well, it depended on who Braids fell for. And also if Yami should pity that person or not. Hopefully for Braids, he would be love in return, because he didn’t seem like someone able to handle a heartbreak, despite all that cool attitude. And even though Yami loved to tease Nozel, a heartbreak was never fun to watch.

But if that person might love Braids back, he or her should really question their taste. Which sane person would love braids or wearing them?

Except Charlotte of course, she was the only one capable to wear braids.

“Yami?”

“Oh, hey there, Goldie Guts.”

“Can I talk to you?”

“Sure.”

There was silence at first, as they left the Magic Knight Headquarters. Whatever William wanted to talk about, it was surely not easy.

Yami had compassion for his fellow captain and rival. As if the whole kidnapping and almost sacrifice wasn’t enough, Goldie Guts lost half of his knights and knowing him, he would continue to grieve that loss for very long. Not to mention all the guilt he was still feeling because of that whole mess with the elves.

No idea how he would react if he would lose half of his brats. Yami only knew that it would be pretty ugly and maybe never ending, which was why he hoped and worked that it would never happen.

The Golden Dawn had been badly broken, but was still standing strong after a bit over three months. Yami respected and admired that. For the squad and for Goldie Guts. Not everyone would have been able to stood up again after such a painful fall. But William and his golden knights got up again, maybe they even got stronger despite their loss and their grief.

“How ya doing, Goldie Guts?”

“It’s finally going uphill. Slowly still, but uphill. How about you?”

“Tch, it’s fine in a Black Bull way, so I don’t know if I should be reassured or not. If my damn vice-captain would show up more, it would be better, but we’re fine.”

“Nacht is very unique in his ways, I’ll admit.”

“A very unique pain in the butt, yep.”

William chuckled. He must really be doing better, it had been long the last time he laughed.

“Okay, Goldie, I bet you aren’t just small talking with me, so what’s the point of this fuss.”

“You’re spending a lot of time with Charlotte, lately.”

Yami couldn’t help but flinch. He thought they were discreet, so how was Goldie Guts aware of it? And why was it bothering him so much that William knew?

“What, are you jealous or something?” Yami laughed, trying to hide that uneasy feeling behind a cool act.

“No,” William just replied and given his Ki, he really wasn’t jealous. Not to mention that he never get provoked by Yamis teasing ever, he just saw right through it.

“So, why is it concerning you?”

“Because you are both dear to me and I don’t want it to end badly.”

Huh, what did Goldie Guts mean with that?

Yami just looked at his fellow captain blankly and William was now deeply sighing. Did he missed a clue or what?

“What I mean, don’t give her false hopes concerning the both of you.”

“False hopes? Trust me, I don’t give her any of that, I’m just helping her with something personal.”

“That’s not what I meant. It is more than nice of you to help her and it’s surely beneficial for the both of you. But while you’re helping her, don’t make her think that there could be more if it’s not the case.”

Okay, Yami was definitely missing a clue, because he had no idea what William was trying to tell him. What was with those riddles about false hopes and about something more that wasn’t even there?

And what had this to do with Charlotte?

He must have a confused look plastered on his face, because William started to look a bit done. And he usually takes a lot for a patient person like Goldie Guts to be done.

“Alright, Yami, let’s try this differently. What do you feel for Charlotte?”

“Well, she’s a strong and independent woman. Too much if you ask me, she’s obviously the only one I need to tell to step back and rely on others from time to time. But she’s one of the best Magic Knights I know, no need for me to beat around the bush. I think we’re finally starting to get along better and be friends.”

Yami didn’t think that he forgot to say something. But still, somehow something was missing? But what the hell would he forgot to say about what he felt about Charlotte?

“And… have you ever been in love, Yami?”

That question took Yami aback. Had he ever been in love? Actually… not really? He never had a childhood crush back in the Land of the Sun and later, when he was in Clover for some time, well, he had some flings, not much but mostly because he felt lonely and was a bit in need for affection. But it always had been empty. Later, with old Julius, Nacht and Morgen, William and the Grey Deers, later the Black Bulls… Loneliness was never a thing again, thankfully.

But love? He never had been in love, heck he never had ever some dating experience. He never needed to date someone, so it was never a problem. Besides, Finral own experiences made Yami believe that it was a dumb thing altogether.

And yet, when Charlotte was involved, it didn’t match with what he believed anymore.

Weird…

“No, I never was. But honestly, I never met someone to fell head over heels with, so I never got the occasion.”

William looked at him with suspicions and to be fair, Yami wasn’t satisfied with his answer too. Why, though? He said nothing that was wrong. At least, he thought so.

“Are you able to tell if someone is in love with you?”

“Geez, Goldie Guts, you’re usually not questioning my Ki reading. Of course I can tell when someone is head over heels for another. In fact, I can tell you that Braids-“

“That’s not what I meant, Yami. I’m not questioning your Ki reading in general. But when it comes to you… can you tell if someone loves you romantically?”

Yami would love to answer that of course he was able to do that. But somehow, he couldn’t. Somehow, it would feel like a lie.

Somehow, he knew that he couldn’t tell.

But still, there was no way he would admit that.

“Well, you know, no one ever fell in love with me, so I can’t tell.”

William gave him a glare, clearly indicating that he didn’t believed him. Well, of course he didn’t. Yami could facepalm about his own stupidity. That was the dumbest answer he could give. He just bragged how was able to tell if someone was in love not even a minute ago and by that logic, he actually should be able to tell if someone was in love with him.

William sighed, before he actually walked, saying, “You’re not stupid, Yami, so I believe you will realize it one day. Just… don’t take too long or Charlotte might slip through your fingers. Maybe you should start trying to look outside the box.”

With that, the captain of the Golden Dawn disappeared.

Yami just stood still, confused. Honestly, he didn’t understand what Goldie Guts wanted to tell him.

And what has this questions about Yamis love life anything to do with Charlotte?

“That’s future Yamis problem,” Yami said automatically, but more to himself and for the first time, it felt actually wrong to go that way.

He was definitely missing something. Maybe it was true what some people told him, that despite his Ki reading, he was somehow a bit dense.

Something really changed since the return from Spade and honestly, maybe it has already been there for a long time.

And Charlotte was involved one way or another, whether she knew or not. Whether she liked it or not.

Whether Yami liked it or not.

“What did I get myself into, this time?”

♣♣♣

Fuegoleon was not the worst Vermillion to be around. But that doesn’t mean that he could be a pain for Nozel. He was his rival and honestly, a healthy rivalry was always welcome. But still, Fuegoleon could also be annoying and too joyful and unhelpful by Nozels books.

But it would have been unpolite to refuse his invitation for a short walk for the captains meeting and Fuegoleon sadly knew him enough to recognize when Nozel was searching for an excuse to avoid any interaction. It worked on nobles, but never on Fuegoleon.

It also never worked on Vanessa, but Nozel had to admit that never really searched for excuses to avoid her company.

Which never happened to him before…

Oh, how much Nozel would prefer to be with Vanessa right now than with Fuegoleon. A bittersweet feeling.

Bitter, because Nozel couldn’t forget that he didn’t deserve that kindness, that care, that friendship maybe. If Vanessa hadn’t pushed him in the first place, he probably wouldn’t have gave in.

But at the same time, it was sweet as well, because for the first time since the death of his mother, Nozel actually took time for himself, to live a bit more for himself. He had to admit that it was nice, to forget about his duties, his worries and his guilt, to live in the present instead of being burdened by his heavy past and the uncertain future.

Vanessa did little wonders on him, he didn’t understand why and she certainly haven’t realized it either. He didn’t felt so cold anymore in his soul and even though Nozel didn’t know if it was a good or a bad thing, he didn’t regretted it as much as he was supposed to.

It was like he had been imprisoned in some long winter since he lost his mother and Vanessa was a rose that bloomed in this winter. Always bright and colourful. Everything he wasn’t and yet, she enjoyed being in his certainly boring company.

Nozel hoped that Vanessa felt better than a few days ago. She was always so strong and joyful and positive. And yet, for the first time since he knew her, Nozel had seen Vanessa with tears in her eyes, hurt and upset. She who always laughed, who was so carefree.

She hadn’t told him what did hurt her and even though Nozel would have liked to know, he didn’t pushed her. Nozel knew from experience that some things were sometimes too difficult to talk about or that it was probably better to keep silence about some difficult topics. But still, seeing Vanessa had made him worry about her. She hadn’t been that upset and sad when she talked about that person she thought she was in love with.

Vanessa always had been so full of joy, it had been so unusual to see her sad. Was her joyful attitude sometimes also a mask, just like his? To hide some sadness? He had seen it already, when they were for the first time together in that café, when she talked about the Witch Queen. There was a sadness behind her joy and he saw that same crack in her mask only a few days ago.

She told him that she was feeling better and to be fair, she looked like she wasn’t upset anymore. But once Nozel saw that crack and the sadness behind, he couldn’t unsee it. It was impossible.

He wanted to help her, to comfort her. To know more about her. But he also didn’t want to hurt her. He did hurt many people he cared about for years, like his siblings and especially Noelle. Nozel refused to do the same to Vanessa. It wasn’t planned and he still didn’t understand if their bond was based of friendship or not, but he came to care for her.

Of course he wanted to be there for Vanessa.

He just didn’t know how.

“Are you still here with me, Nozel?”

Nozel groaned as he saw that small smug smile on the Vermillion’s face. As if he knew some kind of secret and felt superior because of it.

Nozel always hated smugness of any kind.

At least, he could be certain that Fuegoleon didn’t meant any harm. Unlike nobles who felt superior of him because Nozel made mistakes they intend to use for their own gain.

Like his father did…

Nozel immediately chased those memories away. He refused to think about Lac Silva ever again.

“What do you want from me, Vermillion?”

“Oh, just talk.”

Nozel gave him a side glance, not believing him at once. Fuegoleon has something in mind and Nozel wouldn’t have any of it. Oh, knowing his rival, it was surely not harmful, the captain of the Crimson Lions stood above petty pranks. But that doesn’t mean that Nozel would appreciate it.

Fuegoleon walked in silence for a bit through the streets of the capital, before he actually started talking, “You might have realized that I’m courting lady Lital Lys.”

“At least, I came to observe that you only danced with her at the royal wedding.”

Nozel hold back to roll his eyes. Everyone at the wedding saw that, only stupid people wouldn’t come to the most logical conclusion. Nozel wasn’t an expert like Nebra on the common etiquette coming to dances and other details concerning nobles languages on balls, but he knew enough that a third dance with the same person meant clear intention to court and to consider a potential wedding.

Only that Fuegoleon didn’t just dance three dance with lady Lital, he danced only with her. Which would be considered rather bold, even for Fuegoleon.

Nozel didn’t knew much about Lital Lys. She was a calm person, a knight of the Crimson Lions, who became a knight rather late, as she was already eighteen, but still climbed ranks pretty quickly and deserved it, as she took her job seriously and efficiently. Lady Lital didn’t stand out much, letting her actions more do the talking. The only one in her house who inherited the star magic of the hero of house Lys. There were rumours about her being a bastard, who was legitimate just like William. Which didn’t change the fact that she was one of the rare nice Lys out there.

According to Nebra, she also was one of the best singers within nobility and probably the Clover kingdom, her mother loved her truly – a rarity within nobility – and Fuegoleon always had her in high esteem.

Maybe Fuegoleon considered her the perfect match for him. Oh, his grandfather and Head of House might disagree, because of the bastard rumours surrounding Lital Lys.

But if anyone can make Achilles Vermillion yield, it was his favourite grandson.

“The truth is,” Fuegoleon continued, his eyes brightening suddenly, “Lital and I… we were dating for almost ten years.”

This took Nozel aback. Dating? For almost ten years? But… this would mean…

“You love her.”

Of course it wasn’t a question.

“Yes, I do. I know everyone says that Royals don’t love, probably to make arranged marriages more easier to conclude. But it’s not true. We royals do love. I know that I want to spend the rest of my life with Lital. Oh, I’m aware that given Litals roots, a lot of people wouldn’t appreciate that I choose her instead of some more eligible ladies, especially if it’s out of love. But marriages shouldn’t be decided out of politics and Lital means the world to me. I have no intention to not fight for her.”

If he was loyal to one person for almost a decade and was truly in love, then there was no doubt that Fuegoleon would be ready to go against the royal marital status quo for Lital. Well, the captain of the Crimson Lions wasn’t hiding that he would make changes, better changes that would go against the pride of most nobles.

But Fuegoleon also never bragged about his ambitions to make the kingdom better, he let his actions talk, his trust and his loyalty. But marrying out of love, that could be considered very bold, even for him. But knowing Fuegoleon, he would do it anyway.

Nozel had to admit that he admired and envied Fuegoleon at the same time. Going against the status quo was always a bold move, for better or for worst. But at the same time, Fuegoleon wasn’t Head of House – it would be better for the Vermillions if Achilles would let his grandson succeed him already – and by that, he had more freedom to choose who he wants the spend the rest of his life with.

Everyone thought that being Head of House means that you have more freedom. And it was true for those who rather thought about themselves instead of their families. Like the king or Achilles Vermillion. But the truth was, when you put your house before yourself and really do the job of head, then you were the less free.

Nozel knew that by experience. He saw it with his mother and of course, he followed her example when he took over the Silvas. He didn’t have the privilege to marry out of love, he had to marry for political reasons so that his siblings could have that freedom. As much as the reputation of house Silva was important, never would Nozel sacrifice his siblings for it. He hurt them enough already, especially Noelle, and he won’t do it again.

That marital burden was even heavier for him than anyone else. There was only four Silvas left, any other branch died out one way or another. Nozel couldn’t let what his mother left behind die completely.

And yet, since the return from Spade, he was more and more disgusted by this perspective. He probably ignored it for long, but somehow, it always disgusted him.

Probably a reason why he still wasn’t married yet.

Fuegoleon was lucky to be in love for so long. Nozels own love life was quasi inexistent. There were a few dates with noble ladies, organized by his father and other nobles. But it never worked out, so everyone gave up to find him a betrothed that way. And for a short period of time, when he felt lonely and starving for affection, he had what commoners called flings. Not a period of his life he was proud of, even though he didn’t last long. It had been soulless, another proof that he didn’t deserve kindness and affection after all of his mistakes.

That had been years ago and he never date anyone since then.

Maybe he was missing something, but he didn’t deserved it anyways, so why even hurt himself with it?

“So, I might know why you feel better since more two weeks,” Fuegoleon continued, interrupting his thoughts.

“What do you mean with that?”

“Nozel, I know since we were children. I saw how much you give of yourself to make the Silver Eagles work and your house, despite the stones my grandfather puts in your way. I admire your inner strength, not everyone would have been capable to hold all of this together for so long. But you were strong alone for way too long, if you ask me. You put everything else above yourself and I fear that it would hurt you one day. I’m not the only one who’s worried about you. Your vice-captain is, your siblings, aunt Océane, Dorothy and Julius too. As admirable your devotion and loyalty is, you should also think about yourself from time to time.”

Nozel wanted to protest, but Fuegoleon didn’t let him speak, “I observed you since two weeks and what your vice-captain told me just confirmed what I suspected. You’re finally taking time for yourself, to relax. It really does you good. You should keep it up and hold on to it.”

What did his rival meant with that? He couldn’t possibly know that Nozel met with the Black Bulls witch, could he? Nozel didn’t heard about any rumours and he doubted there was even any, otherwise Nebra would have made indirect smug and disgusted suggestions or something like that.

No, Fuegoleon couldn’t possibly know. But instead of reassuring him, Nozel found it somehow hard to believe it.

“And what do you think I should hold onto?”

“Oh, I have no proof, of course. From my romance experience, I firmly believe that you’re in love, Nozel.”

Love? LOVE?

Nozel froze.

No, that was impossible. He wasn’t in love, he was probably even totally unable to love anyone in a romantic way. At least, he thought so, there was no proof of him being able to love romantically. But there was also no proof of the opposite, actually… Which didn’t matter.

He couldn’t be in love with the Black Bull witch! Sure, Vanessa was beyond beautiful and kind and full of joy, in fact she was an amazing person altogether. There wasn’t enough words to describe how wonderful she was. But he wasn’t in love, they were just…

What were they exactly?

Acquaintances? No, that sounded too dry.

Colleagues? They were both Magic Knights and that was it. They didn’t even had the same ranks, he was a captain and she was still on junior level, even though Nozel was convinced that she deserved a much higher rank. Besides, they don’t only talked about work when they met.

Friends? He couldn’t help but feel that friendship didn’t described enough what she was for him, but it was the closest description that could fit.

But it couldn’t be love, right?

Why wasn’t he convinced by his own statement, then?

“I might be wrong, of course. I’ve never known any other beloved than Lital,” Fuegoleon continued, without any smug. “But after almost ten years, I think that I’m maybe able to tell if someone is in love or not. And think you are.”

“This is very bold of you to assume,” Nozel replied calmly. Inside of him might be a raging storm, but he refused to show any of it. Not only because of his pride, but also because he felt kinda lost.

Fuegoleon just shrugged, before stopping in front of a florist. Nozel observed how his rival seemed to hesitate a bit, before choosing a bouquet of white roses and orchids.

White roses and orchids.

Although flower language was a typical Silva education, Fuegoleon had to know a bit about the meanings of flowers. Unlike red roses, which stood for passion and overwhelming love, white roses were more about trust, innocence and deep, sincere love who lasted and will last. As for orchids, they stood for admiration and for rare, delicate beauty.

There was no denying it, Fuegoleon was more than just serious about Lital Lys. Come to think of it, it was a success that both were able to keep their relationship a secret for so long.

Nozel had no idea what to think. If, and only IF he was maybe in love with Vanessa, they hadn’t known each other for long, unlike Fuegoleon and Lital. It couldn’t be possible to fell in love so quickly, that only happens in novels.

But again, Nozel didn’t have any experience with romantic love, so of course he couldn’t tell. And were romance novels really a reference for arguments?

Fuegoleon paid for the bouquet, before turning back to Nozel. “Again, I don’t know if it’s true. It’s just that I’ve known you since we’re children and that I’m dating Lital for a very long time that I think you’re in love. If you’re not, that’s fine too, because whatever made you finally happy since the wedding, you really should hold on to it. And if it’s indeed love, hold on to this person, show them that you care. Nozel, after everything you’ve been through, you deserve your own happiness as well.”

With that, Fuegoleon turned around, waving and walking away. Leaving Nozel in the middle of a street of the royal capital.

My own happiness?

Everything Fuegoleon said somehow made sense and at the same, didn’t made sense at all.

Nozel knew he wasn’t in love. At least, he thought he knew and the more he thought about it, the more unsure he felt. It wasn’t like he thought a lot about Vanessa, her face popping here and there in his mind for no reason. Not to mention that Vanessa was surely not in love with him. Sure, she was nice and kind to him, even playfully flirty, but with everything that happened with Noelle and their too much different circles certainly didn’t made him a potential lover in her eyes.

Somehow, that thought hurt.

Nozel groaned unroyally. He was unsure and lost yes, but he definitely couldn’t come to a conclusion in the middle of a street of the royal capital, while people around him just dealt with their daily lives. Once he was back home, in his room, where everything was calm, he would be able to think about it logically and efficiently.

But still… Fuegoleon also said that he should show her that he cared. And Nozel came to care about Vanessa. This, he could get behind. Whatever was between them, he truly cared about her. She was always there for him, listening, chatting a lot and basically pushing him out of his so-called comfort zone to get some time to relax. And he was maybe grateful she spend time with him.

Maybe he should get Vanessa something. But what? He couldn’t just send her flowers, that would be too vague, they weren’t a couple and she deserved something more personal than flowers, even if they came from the Silva flower garden. And something he could send, he was too proud still to show up with a present like that at the Black Bulls basement. Even more so, what would the Black Bulls think if he showed up like that? Even worse, Noelle? And let’s not talk about Yami.

That was settled, but Nozel still had no idea what to get her. What did she told him about what she liked and her hobbies again? Wine? No, she was already drinking a lot and given Noelles concern, Nozel refused to make her drink even more.

But what would make Vanessa happy, then?

Suddenly, his eyes settled on a particular shop on the street. And he finally got at least some idea what to get Vanessa.
