Papa Headcanons - Valentine’s Day 💕

Rated PG-13 for implied adult themes!

Oh my goodness, it’s Valentine’s Day! How will your beloved celebrate with you?

~💘💝💘~

Primo

Gives you a beautiful bouquet of roses grown in his garden

Surprises you with herbal tea in bed while he makes you breakfast

He arranges for everyone in the Ministry to send a secret valentine to an assigned person, so you all get a cute card or treat

He’s surprisingly very into theming so he wears a red robe and mitre that day, and eats lots of pink foods

He gives everyone a single flower, even his least favorite ghoul

Says he has a nice surprise for you later; lit candles everywhere, your favorite snacks, a bubble bath, and some lingerie for…certain activities after you relax 🛁

Secondo

Also surprises you with breakfast in bed, complete with one of those silver covers that he flourishes as if you just got fancy room service

Packs your lunch for you that day with a cute little note which you proceed to keep in your wallet for a long time

He relieves you of your Sibling job duties a few hours early and arranges for you to have a massage done by the Ministry’s massage therapist

He arranges Valentines karaoke for the ghouls and siblings, the setlist being rock’s greatest love ballads and also some Celine Dion mixed in

Bakes you a cake (or whatever your fave dessert is) and decorates it with pink heart sprinkles

His final gift of the day is flowers with some very nice jewelry…and also a new lingerie set. He wants to see you in the set wearing the new jewelry he got you, saying it’s a gift for him too and he wants to admire it

Terzo

His penis. He gives you…his penis, wrapped in a bow. “Breakfast in bed, mm?” he’d say (don’t worry, he offers to go down on you too)

Okay, okay, he actually comes back with coffee, cigarettes, and Pop-Tarts

Has flowers sent to you while you’re both at work so you’ll think of him all day (so all your coworkers/the other Siblings see what an amazing boyfriend you have)

Encourages everyone to leave work early that day so “you can all go fuck each other!”

Orders sushi takeout (or whatever you want if you don’t like sushi but author happens to love it) and has made a whole setup of pillows and blankets on the floor for you to watch cute movies while you eat dinner and snacks

Gives you naughty conversation hearts and says you have to do whatever it tells you to…they’re instructions for bedding you later

Scatters rose petals all over the bedroom, lights candles so the room looks very romantic and promises to make love to you like never before

Copia

You wake up to utter chaos - a burning smell from the kitchen and rats running all over the place. “Eh, it was supposed to be a surprise…we’ll get takeout.”

But you’ve already DoorDashed pancakes for the pair of you, because somehow you knew he’d be too stressed to handle everything

He’s genuinely very excited to celebrate Valentine’s Day so he can go all out to show you just how much he cares about you

He decorates his office and room the day before - all pinks, reds, and purples with hearts everywhere

He gifts everyone in the Ministry a cute little paper valentine, like the kind you used to pass out in elementary school

Says cheesy but sweet things all day, like asking you to be his valentine, making puns like “bee mine buzzzzzz,” etc.

Smothers you in hugs and kisses

Wants to watch rom coms with you before going to bed that night, complete with themed snacks

He bought you matching V-Day underwear

Nihil

Gets you one of those generic heart shaped chocolate boxes from the drug store

He also leaves a very mushy, sentimental hallmark card on your nightstand

“Why do we need a special day? I love you everyday!”

He doesn’t arrange anything for the Ministry as a whole but he does make sure to do the bare minimum for his partner

Not requested but I wanted to write something for Valentine’s Day ❤️

kylian mbappe x reader

First Valentine

“It’s our first valentine together” Kylian said when you woke up. You weren’t expecting much from Kylian, mostly because your ex boyfriend never cared about valentine’s day but also because you knew PSG had a match tonight and, even if he was injured, you knew he would put all of his focus into the match and support for his teammates.

But he left you speechless when you saw a big heart shaped ballon right in the middle of your bedroom. Some roses petals all over the floor. A chocolate box on your night stand and Kylian entering the room again with breakfast in his hands. No one ever done something like this for you and you felt like you could explode.

“Here” he said handing you a cup of green tea, your favorite.

He sat next to you on bed and you both started eating your breakfast. Once you all finished he took the plates back to the kitchen, not letting you leave the bed for a second.

“Je t’aime” he said when he came back “I’m so happy to have met someone like you”.

You felt your eyes becoming more glossy.

“I love you so much Kylian, thank you for making this day special for me” you said kissing him while his hands dried your tears away.

“What you mean?” he asked a bit confused. He knew you’ve been in a two years relationship with your high school sweetheart before meeting him.

“I mean, my ex never cared about anniversaries or birthdays, so you can imagine how much he cared about valentine’s day…no one ever done something like this for me” you said looking at him in the eyes.

His heart broke a little mostly because he saw you as the greatest thing ever happened to him, you deserved to be loved and cared of so he can’t imagine you staying with someone who didn’t show you love.

“Well, he’s a dick” he said laughing and you laughed too “and I’m glad you broke up with him, because I met you, my love” he said taking you on his lap and kissing your neck.

“I love you Kyky, thank you for everything” you looked at him in the eyes and he could see that you were being honest. He was scared at first to open up with someone because he knew people used him for fame and clout, he knew girls wanted to be with him only to become the next Georgina and boys wanted to be friends with him just because he was Kylian Mbappè not because they cared for him.

“I know this isn’t much, if PSG hadn’t a match tonight I would have taken you to a fancy restaurant and…” he started talking but you stopped him by kissing him.

“Nonsense…this is perfect…you are perfect Kylian, I love everything” you wrapped your arms around his neck and put your head on his shoulder.

He started kissing you with more passion, his hands going under you t-shirt and started to touching your breast but before you could do anything Kylian’s telephone started ringing.

“Merde…” he whispered to himself and you bursted out laughing “I have to take this but I promise we’re going to finish later” he said winking at you and leaving the room with his phone, probably one of his teammates asking why he was late at training.

You laid again between the sheets of your comfortable bed staring at the ceiling and with a smile on your lips, thinking about how much you got lucky to be with Kylian.

Valentine's dread 2/13/24

Tomorrow is my favorite day of the year.

It could be denial of my single-ness, wanting to believe that this day could also be for me, or it could also be the way I can't help but romanticize my own heartbreak.

What a lot of people don't realize is that Valentine's day isn't just about being in love. To me, I see Valentine's Day as a day to remember how it feels to miss it, yearn for it, and in that, having gratitude for all the love in your life, even if its expired or lost.

Naturally, as a woman, there's something in me that needs so badly to justify the constant pain of simply being a woman (I would never apologize for being a feminist, but I do feel sorry for being cheesy). Yes, its true. Women, in the face of pain, unrequited love, heart-break, and bitter-sweet longing, have a special talent of feeling their emotions to the fullest. And we curse ourselves, asking for the pain to stop, questioning why we choose to love, despite all of the horrible things that can, and have, happened to us. We find ourselves thinking its foolish to love.

But its not. I hate to sound corny again, but, love is never a feeling to be ashamed of. Some of my liberal arts classes would have me believe that love is transactional, a business. You take some, you give some. But being a foolish woman, I believe that the most beautiful type of love is that of which nothing is asked in return.

I wish we could all realize how sweet, adorable, and loveellllyy it is that one could have this ability. To love is a gift. To feel is to be alive. Soften your hearts.

Song of the day is my favorite ennio morricone but I cant find it anywhere else except youtube. The greatest tragedy.

Bless your ears:

and I wanted to say that I'll try to finish another very small story for valentines day since I don't think lucky serves much justice and I feel bad for going missing for a few days

ALSO IM OKAY I FORGOT TO SAY ALLS WELL HERE IF ANYONE WAS WONDERING

but I'm not so sure I'll be able to finish it by today, unfortunately some things happened yesterday with some people I care about, it's all very delicate and I'm not feeling the greatest and I wish to support these people so I'll be a bit off from social media today

however I also need a bit of distraction and I might write, but if I do end up finishing today I'll only be able to post at night, but it's not a promise

I wish everyone a great valentines and I hope you're all very happy in this day with the person you love!!

and for those who are single like me, I also still hope your day is awesome and you get to spend it however you desire and do not he sadden by being alone today, everyone will find their special person if they wish so one day and you're special regardless of being in a relationship or not

sending love to all of you and I hope to see you guys soon!!!

Gliaster: 👁️👻💥😨🌙🕷️🌹🌌📣mouse trap👑🎵🎡🔫📎💧❤️💌 SORRY ITS TOO MUCH feel free to skip questions if u want im just 👉👈

FINALLY....AFTER ALMOST A YEAR... I have answered this. 😎<333

I wrote this all up in a note app so I guess that's why the text size is inconsistent, sorry for that! >_< (edit: I figured it out and fixed it yayyy)

👁️ EYE - what colour are their eyes? do people notice their eyes? is there anything special about them (shows emotion easily, literally magical…)?

Golden! And since their eyes are big, so people do notice them easily (but I guess that's also because asura heads are also usually big)... Also! They glow in the dark. 😏 It starts as soon as dawn/dusk/any slight darkening... (realistically they just reflect light but hhhh glowy eyes pog)

👻 GHOST - do they believe in ghosts? what are their “ghostly experiences”, if any?

They do! I mean yeah since ghosts exist in Tyria They did see some even when they were traveling the world, but the number of ghost sightings greatly increased in Elona (*coughs* The Desolation). They usually don't care/bother though so they don't have any experiences to speak of.

💥 COLLISON - what emotions do they have trouble dealing with?

Hmm maybe grief? Like... they can deal with it but pretty badly as they haven't learned to mourn properly since they never had the "chance".

😨 FEARFUL - when scared, do they go into “flight” or “fight”?

Fight! 💥 They're ready to throw hands at the slightest spook anytime.

🌙 MOON - what is your oc’s greatest wish? how far are they willing to go for it?

Hmmm I guess at the core of them, "be the wisest necromancer of all time" is the one. They almost straight up died for it once (days of starving in the prisons of Gandara just so they could learn necromancy from Joko), so yeah they're willing to go pretty far. 😈

🕷️ SPIDER - what is their biggest fear? do they have any irrational / mundane fears?

They're terrified of any kind/amount of memory loss. While some people may fear being forgotten, Gliaster fears forgetting.

Mundane fears, mostly...sand sharks! More specifically, getting jumpscared and eaten by a sand shark.

🌹 ROSE - do they like valentines day? have they been confessed to before? have they confessed to anyone before?

They don't really care for it; they love their beloved every 365 day of the year! Plus, they prefer surprises; affection and gifts are best when they're unexpected and not "ohh I bought you this because it's x day."

And yes to both! Gliaster is (Rick Astley voice) no stranger to love and has been on both end of confessions.

🌌 MILKY WAY - what was the inspiration behind your oc? what was the first thing you decided about them?

My inspiration was my love for Joko and Elona, which kickstarted breaking Gliaster out of the shackles of being the Commander and turned them into my 100% "original" character! But I remember the very first thing I decided about them was their gender.❤️ I looked at asura and went wow I want what they have. I instantly knew Gliaster would have none of any gender.

📣 MEGAPHONE - how loud are they? what do they speak like? got a voice claim?

Even though it sounds nice and appealing, their voice is quite high-pitched, which is something they're insecure about (and the older they get the more insecure they get as well). I do not have a spoken voice claim, only sung one, but it is Aneela Mirza! Some might know her from the 90's europop duo Toy-Box, lol.

Here's an example video I made btw hehehe

🪤 MOUSE TRAP - what will always lure them into certain danger? a loved one in danger? a promise of something they are always searching for?

Oh yes, a loved one in danger for sure... But also some source of knowledge that is thought to be very valuable. They try to think rationally and be careful if a suspicion of a bait ever happens (knowing well they're not-so-liked in some areas) but god do their emotions and curiosity get the better of them sometimes...

👑 CROWN - what does your oc want to be remembered as? why?

Definitely the books they write post-Joko, which is something no one really has done before (especially not from Gliaster's POV, who knew Joko intimately for 10 years)

They also want to be remembered for their necromancer skills, because it's something they've honed all their life.

🎵 MUSIC NOTE - what is their playlist like? their favourite artists? do you associate a particular song with them?

N/A for the first part of the question, but yee I have few songs like that!

"Whenever Wherever" by Shakira is their theme song (like the lyrics "Lucky that I love a foreign land for / the lucky fact of your existence" is sooooo perfect)

"Dancing with the Dead" by Powerwolf is pog as well (The whole thing just inspires me to really turn them into the next expansion villain lmao)

And any song that comes from their voiceclaim! (especially non-english songs)

🎡 FERRIS WHEEL - are they someone who wants to kiss at the top of the ferris wheel?

Not particularly want, but if it happened, they wouldn't mind... 😏 (They're not really a fan of cheesy stuff like that anyway)

🔫 PISTOL - do they trust people easily? how easily will they turn their back to someone? have they been backstabbed before? will they betray someone if given an ultimatum?

Nope! They turn their back hardly, and if they do so, their back will be covered. They're prepared for everything because they believe that anything they have done (for example, treason and murder :^)) could also be done to them. And yes as mentioned, they would betray someone (and did before) but only by their own decision and not an outside control.

📎 PAPERCLIP - a random fact.

They're polyamorous!

(Not a fun fact to you personally hehe but might be for people who read this. 👀 :3c)

💧 DROPLET - random angst headcanon

They usually cope with bad stuff with overworking themself.❤️ Also when Joko dies they just fall ill/sick from the initial depression/grief . :^)

❤️ RED HEART - their love language(s)?

Quality time and touch. <3

💌 LOVE LETTER - do they like love letters? what kind of messages do they leave for their partner?

They find the concept of long, heartfelt letters too cheesy but they do like leaving short notes around for Joko to find. Stuff like "I went to check on the Bonestrand people, will be back soon, don't miss me too much <3" Tyrian post-it shenanigans LMAO

02.14.23 - Happy Valentines day Bubba

Dear Tam Tran,

The right love will come, the one that beats all the others.The love that leaves a smile on your face that stretches from cheek to cheek and doesn't leave even as the day turns grey.The love that teaches you how beautiful you are even when you don't feel it, even when you pull and tug at all your flaws, it looks at you through half-lidded eyes that admire you in your entirety. The love that appreciates how hard you try, even when your heart is heavy because life hasn't been too kind, even when you're anxious or scared about what the future holds. The love that makes you feel soft with warmth and affection, the love that tries hard to make you smile and never leaves you side. The love that recognises your need to be alone but to also have them by your side, supporting you, encouraging you to be better and work harder and become stronger along the way. The love that doesn't go to sleep until it knows that you are okay, the love that understands all your emotions, your mood swings, your insecurities and your vulnerabilities that you try so hard to hide but are unable to. The right love will come. The love that accepts you completely, even on days when you can't accept yourself and feel lost and alone, and even on nights when you don't know how to go on.

I am writing you a letter today on our second Vday not together-ish. I am not sure how to act and how to feel sometimes and when I get confused I close my eyes, feel into my body and heart and then I make a choice from what feels right and follow my heart. I am trying hard to not have expectations and to not feel hopeful because my adult side is scared be hurt and scared to be sad. But today and this weekend I felt so much love. This past weekend it was my weekend to be free and do whatever I see feels right and whatever I feel in my heart. I realize how much Exercise and sports has been my mediation type of thing for so long and how much I need that. I also observe myself choosing what I want to do and what I wish I was doing. I was able to help you through your second tattoo and being a part of that made me feel very special and loved and good. Watching the kids helping you out and then also being able to do my own thing without feeling guilty is also amazing. The family is so good together and that part makes me feel really happy. Sunday was a day where I had expectations of getting a lot of exercise and then watching the super bowl with friends and just trying to have a good time enjoying life. But life threw me a curveball. And in the middle of this curveball was a cat. We visited the animal shelter and one minute I didnt think about owning a cat to the next loving a cat. When I was there my inner child was just like these kids. My adult self is the one that talks me out of things, the one that gives me the voice of reason or at least I think it does give me all these excuses to not do it. But once again I sat down on the bench in the room and felt into myself and what my heart wanted. I convinced myself this was the right thing and I knew once it clicked I was 100% all in. It took me a while like it didn't hit me til we were at pets mart but after that I was good. We got home and spent the rest of the night as a family taking care of 2 boys and 2 cats and i havent felt so happy in a long time. My heart space was so full. The night ended and then you asked me to stay over and the internals were so giddy and so happy it's very hard to describe. I haven't felt like this forever. I slept next to you even though I woke up alot and got bossed around alot. Like check on the cats, and turn on the dishwasher and tuck lucas back in. First time in a while I didn't wake up to a text and stared at my phone. I was just able to sleep peacefully. These feelings reassure me that things always happen for a reason and hope no matter how small is the greatest feeling in the world. I know I have so much love to give.

I really wanted to keep Billie. I really wish you were able to watch them for 2 weekends and figure it out for me but that's ok. I know it's hard work and just being around you and seeing your anxiety is very hard and I understand it's not easy for you and I wouldn't wish that on you at all. As much as it sucks there will be new opportunities. I felt like it reflective on our time and that the timing just is not there yet and i wasn't supposed to have one yet. I think I was very emotional because some expectations were just crushed. First was that I didn't know how much I really wanted a cat til the end of the day on how excited I was to come home to spend time with it. Then I think also losing the expectation to go smash things played a small factor on it even though I tried hard to not have it affect me in any way. I really did play its part; it gave me emotions of how stuff never works out for me. My inner child was sad and really hurt and felt really down. The rest of the afternoon.

Then there is this thing called LOVE day. I want to be honest with you at all times but I also fear that honestly about how I feel can and may push you away further. Our hearts can only belong to one person at a time and I know over the years I haven't taken care of you the way I know I should. I know it wasnt ok back then and things happen for a reason but today and now I know now and that's all that matters and what I do from now on. I am pretty sure I don't need to say how I feel because I feel like deep down you know. I am always going to love you and I am still madly in love with you. I know that love cannot be given back the way i want now but like i said one day if its meant to be it will be. And it's ok for now.

Today is Love day and I know today will be hard for me because I wear my heart on my sleeve and all I can think about is you. But I also know you are going through your own thing as you need to as part of the universe's plan for us. There are times where i fucking hate what the universe is doing but then there are times i love it. Life is full of ups and downs that are going to happen no matter what. I learned we have choices on how to feel about them and the people we let in and the people that decided to stay by our sides and would never leave no matter how far up or how deep down we go. I know the day has just started and things for me are not written but I do want to spend time with all the people that I love and I know love me. I don't want you to be alone and if you wanna spend time with your boys today we are here and we would love to spend it with the one woman in our lives that means the most to the 3 of us.

Happy Valentines day bubba. Hope you like your small gift. It's not crazy but I feel like it's fitting. Do what makes you happy, follow your heart, Feel alive, and make a choice everyday to do it for yourself. I have learned these past months things I do now are for myself. I do things for the boys to make me happy and I do things for you to make me happy. And then I do things for everyone to make me happy. And if they dont i will say it and then do it anyway because then I am doing it for someone else and if they are happy then I am happy.

Have a wonderful day,

I love you so much , -Henry

Marriage in Retrospect (Part 1)

Lisa and I were married for 36 years and were together for over 40 years. Tomorrow would have been our 41st Valentine’s Day together, and the next day (Feb. 15th) marks one year since I lost her. All of my memories of those 40 years are good memories. But it has me thinking about what I learned about love in those 40 years. Here are some thoughts…

Be great friends. Love your spouse, yes. But always work on liking each other! Do things the other person loves to do, go places the other person loves to go, and find things you love to do together. Lisa, never a woodsy person in her life (her idea of camping was a motel instead of a hotel), went camping with me and grew to love hiking in the woods. And I spent countless hours walking the floors of malls with her eliciting an irrational fatigue in my legs. And we skied, and we traveled, and we danced, and we ate at our favorite restaurants together. We genuinely loved being together because we decided to love being together.

Be great lovers. It is great to be friends, but the uniqueness of a love relationship is a depth of intimacy that must go beyond friendship. There were times Lisa and I were good friends but lost the spark of intimacy. Intimacy takes work and has to be cultivated. And though great sex should be a part of a great marriage, intimacy must start long before sex. Lisa called it “into-me-see.” Get to know each other. We talked about 5 levels of communication that lend themselves to intimacy:

Level 1 – Cliches. “How are you doing? Fine.” “What’s up? Not much.”

Level 2 – Facts. “What did you do today?” I went to work, picked up the kids, etc.

Level 3 – Opinions. “What did you think about what he said?”

Level 4 – Feelings. “How did it make you feel when that happened?”

Level 5 – Needs. “This is what I need from you”

Each level requires greater trust, comes with greater risk and results in deeper intimacy. When the trust is broken or the risk results in pain, you will stay in the safer levels and never experience true intimacy. So be sensitive, listen, apologize, forgive, and keep being vulnerable. This type of intimacy will result in a great and meaningful love-life.

Keep dating. Have a date night every week. There will be all kinds of reasons why you can’t – I know them all. But if it is a value, you can. You don’t have to spend money or even go out. Lisa and I were poor and had 3 kids under 7 when we decided we needed to have a date night every week. We chose Saturday night, and sometimes that meant putting the kids to bed early, telling them not to come out of their rooms and finding creative ways to have a special dinner, meaningful conversation and time together. But the effort expressed the value. And it is in those dates where we could have the level 4 & 5 conversations that I talked about above.

Don’t entertain the possibility of divorce. Put it out of your mind as an option. Don’t ever use it as a threat. I understand that there are reasons to consider divorce such as adultery, abandonment and abuse. But outside of those, don’t even speak the word. You made a covenant. You are going to fight, and there might be some terribly difficult seasons. In those seasons, get help! Lisa and I had our share of those times when no matter how adorable I was 😉 she didn’t like me much. And I remember times when I was so frustrated that I thought, “I’m just going to get in my car and drive to Minnesota where nobody can find me.” Why Minnesota? I have no idea except that I didn’t know anybody there. I’m sure it’s a lovely place, but I’m so very grateful I never moved to Minnesota.

Be a whole person. The idea that you need the other person to complete you or that you can’t live without the other person might seem romantic, but it puts way too much pressure on your spouse to do & be what she/he was never intended to do & be. Continue to work on being a healthy, whole, secure person on your own. The greatest way for this to happen is to develop a relationship with Jesus Christ and to find your identity in who He has created you to be. He is the One who can make you whole. Lisa and I continued throughout our marriage to work hard on cultivating our own personal relationship with Jesus. When we were right with God, we were good with each other. Because then we were able to give of ourselves in the way Jesus modeled His love for us – sacrificially, always helping the other person become what God intended them to be (rather than what I needed her to be).

There is much more to say, but I will save that for another day.

Love is something you do. You choose to love your spouse every day. You choose to treasure them every day. So choose them again today. Love them today. I promise you, it will be worth it.

Happy Valentine’s Day.

FEATURE: A Soundtrack for the Most Wonderful Time of the Year

Sleigh bells ring, are you listening? Do you notice the colder nights and the mall decorations? That’s because the holidays are almost upon us, and what better way to get into a festive mood than to blast a Christmas playlist all day long? For that, we prepared a list of songs for the season just for you! From parties with karaoke sessions to chill family nights, it’s all here.

Photo edited by: Charlize Yamo

Christmas festivities wouldn’t be complete without the classics that we all know and love. Even though we normally don’t hear them outside of the holiday season, somehow, we can sing all the words as soon as the first note plays. Here are three of those songs:

All I Want for Christmas Is You by Mariah Carey Jingle Bell Rock by Bobby Helms Rockin’ Around The Christmas Tree by Brenda Lee

If you’re tired of the classics and are looking for more mainstream pop sounds, we have some tunes just for you. These are perfect for when you’re at a Christmas party and it’s time to play games or indulge in the potluck:

25th by Tori Kelly Alone for Christmas by Ty Dolla $ign, Kiana Lede Here This Christmas by Gwen Stefani Marry Christmas by salem ilese My Only Wish (This Year) by Britney Spears Santa Tell Me by Ariana Grande Only When It Snows by Nova Miller

After the high-energy party vibe, it’s time to chill. Put on some background music while chatting and opening gifts with your family, like these:

What Are You Doing New Year’s Eve? by The Carpenters I Wish It Would Snow by Dave Barnes Home For The Holidays by Matt Belsante Santa Baby by Haley Reinhart Christmas at Home by Madison Olds, Nearly York

Some people also spend the holidays with their special someone. Though it’s not Valentine’s Day, there’s no shortage of Christmas love songs. Among those, we picked three of the best to share. Of course, these can be enjoyed regardless if you’re single, dating, crushing on someone who doesn’t like you back, or in a complicated situationship:

The Greatest Gift by Leroy Sanchez One I’ve Been Missing by Little Mix Think of Christmas by Anne-Marie

There are also many things about Christmas in the Philippines that can only be captured by OPM. One of them is caroling which happens every year, without fail. Aside from the iconic caroling staples Sa May Bahay Ang Aming Bati and Ang Pasko Ay Sumapit, we also have well-known ABS-CBN Christmas Station IDs such as Star ng Pasko (2009), Thank You for The Love (2015), and Magkasama Tayo Sa Kwento Ng Pasko (2013). But that’s not all there is to OPM Christmas songs. Here are a few bops that perfectly encapsulate the Filipino Christmas experience:

Halo-halo by The Itchyworms Bibingka by Ben&Ben No Snow by Reese Lansangan Araw-Araw Pasko by Matthios, Gloc 9

No matter what kind of music you’re into, Christmas songs will always evoke a feeling of joy and nostalgia that cannot be accomplished by other songs. It reminds us of parols in October, Noche Buena, approaching our relatives with our hands ready to receive red angpaos, Simbang Gabi, and the season of giving. The holiday season would be incomplete without the accompaniment of Christmas carols.

As a little gift, we prepared a Spotify playlist that you can blast at your next Christmas party: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/64YIXg8YIPKpyqUtV8Hocx?si=f028338959724e42 //by Charlize Yamo

Lee Eunhyuk fic please CUS THERES DEFINITELY A LACK OF THEM

Confession

Pairing: Sweet home Eun-Hyuk x Best Friend!GN Reader (Late Valentines special)

Word Count; 3,647

Genre: Angst, Hurt/Comfort, Fluff

Summary: When Y/n confesses her feeling to her Best Friend.

Warning: Use of profanity, Cringy scenes

——

I headed straight to the floor

Oh, how she feels her heartache for him

Oh, how she felt her heart jump and beats wildly every time she comes close to him

Oh, how her heart broke into pieces at that time.

——

Do you ever feel your heart stop and jump wildly, while tiny butterflies fly around your stomach as they call it when you’re around someone? Or as they call it when you’re…

Inlove?

That's what you feel whenever you’re around him, your best friend.

You never know how you even fell in love with him. Was it because of his kindness? His admiration at things? His aura? How does he smile and radiate it? His looks? His smartness at things?

Or himself in general?

You never knew, but the only thing you knew is that whenever he’s around, You fell in love at that moment as your body does those things.

And it headed straight to my skin

Leaving me daft and dim...

——

I've got this shake on my legs,

Being new at a school was the worst thing that happened in your life.

Running through the hallways and bumping into people is not the greatest thing you can think of, and being late because of the many turns in the hallways was an addition to it.

And bumping that powerfully into someone was-

Wait what?

Shaking the thoughts from my head,

Before you can decipher your surroundings once again, it was muddled by someone who made you bump into a halt. Your eyes were shut, the pain throbbing in your head while you have put your hands on top of it caused by the harsh impact.

Upon opening one of your eyes, You saw a man trying to fix his glasses as one of its retainers was broken.

Opening both of your eyes wide, you quickly realize your actions in embarrassment. You bowed your torso in an almost complete 90 degree as you apologized.

"I'm sorry, I'm so, so fucking sorry- holy shit" you cursed and excuse yourself through the incoherent words you have spewed.

This caused the said man to look up as he had finally fixed his glasses retainers. Smiling, he assured You in a comforting tone

"Ah, it's fine! it's not your fault anyway. Though you seem lost, do you need help?" He spoke, his smile radiating a positive aura around him

You finally look up to face the man who assured you, his hands sticking out in a shaking manner, his eyes shaping into a crescent moon.

"Uhm yeah actually… it's embarrassing to say but I need help," you confirmed while you nodded, your face showing an awkward smile, though—you shake his hands anyways.

You did not know you were gonna be someone who has played a part in his life.

You just find him as your friend and he does too.

You also just find him attractive, that's all right?

right?

You also did not know you were gonna develop feelings for him at that.

But who put these waves in the door?

I crack and out in poor,

———

"You know you need to get new glasses" You suggested to the boy who has been fixing his glasses retainer for the past 5 minutes while you eat your food,

"And you know I will never let you waste your money on some dumb glasses" He retorted back while mocking you at the same time as he continues to repair the poor glasses.

A snap sound was suddenly heard causing you to stop eating your food.

Turning your head around where the sound came, it resulted in you looking towards your friend's poor glasses retainers broken in half.

Trying to hold your laugh; hand clutching onto your stomach, you failed, letting out a chuckle as you mock him for losing the bet that the glasses will break in a few weeks.

Trying to stop your hysterical laugh at the poor boy, you stood up—your hands dusting off your uniform.

You stuck out your arms, offering them at your friend to stand up,

"Come on, let's go back to class because we gotta get you new glasses later, Mr. Old man," you jokingly said before he sighs and accepted your offer, standing next to you.

———

The school bell finally rang, signaling the school ended—as it was time for you and Eun Hyuk to go to an eyeglasses shop to get a replacement for his old one.

Opening the store, the chilly air conditioner instantly made your body shiver making Eun Hyuk rub your back to make you warm, flustered—you instantly pry his hands off your back making him just shrug off at your reaction.

Walking through aisles after aisles, you find neon green glasses standing out in the stand full of different types of shades

Grabbing the poorly designed accessory, you tap your friends back making him turn around to face you in confusion

Seeing the green glasses in your hands, he tried to instantly pry off your frantic hands in his face as you smiled teasingly at him while you tried to put the badly made glasses in his terrified face.

“Stop, you're gonna make me ugly with that.” he finally spoke, his hands blocking his face—dropping your hands, and your shoulder slumped,

“Ah, you're no fun, this will make you more attractive, don't you want that?” you teased, making him embarrassed and rolled his eyes.

As you suggest glasses after glasses and tease him for the ridiculous ones that didn't fit him, your fingertips were suddenly scratched by the screw of the shades you're holding, making you hiss in pain.

Eun notices your eyes looking down at one of your fingertips; catches blood flowing down at it. He points his focus on you instead, making him stop checking out the glasses he had just took a hold of and put them back.

"Y/n your fingertips," he said in a concerning tone

You turned your head at him, giving him an assuring smile,

"Ah… it's nothing, don't worry about it, it's just a cut." You reassured him while he kept silent

He finally shook his head in response to your stubbornness. He grabbed your hand quickly—dragging you, making you drop the shades, the glasses being left instead on your other hand, but you stopped him before passing by the counter

Quickly paying the glasses you recently chose on him, as soon after that—his hands grip yours, dragging you out of the store,

"You know it's just a cut right? I can treat it later on" you said interrupting his panic state.

He stops into a halt and turns his head making you the one panic instead,

"You want your blood flow and act like there's a crime scene around the mall?" He said sarcastically and exaggerated, making you shocked. He continued to grab your hand and dragged you to a near pharmacy shop.

As soon as the two of you open the clear door of the store and got inside the pharmacy, you instantly and awkwardly follow him around the aisle like an attached puppy to its owner as he checks out items after item, judgment in his eyes as he gazes on the products

"You look so mean to the products, do you know that?" you point out, cutting his thoughts and his inspection,

"I know, they are bad made brand anyways," he said, not caring while he continues to find necessary items

You snickered at his judgments, your other hand covering your mouth as he still had a hold of your hand; making you blush slightly.

———

As the two of you finally got out of the store, you and Eun Hyuk found a place to properly sat at

Finding a fountain with a circular seat surrounding it, you tap Eun Hyuk's shoulder pointing to the fountain

The two of you sat down while he still had a hold on your hand; making you blush slightly as the realization hits you of him holding your hand half of the time in the mall.

Getting out the necessary pieces of equipment by his other hand, he slowly sticks out your bloodied finger as his eyes inspects it thoroughly

Blushing once again in embarrassment, he looks at your almost cherry red face making him snicker, a small smile formed on his face.

Eyes wide, you roll your eyes—trying to hide your expression of being flustered. He finally dropped your finger down,

getting out the needed items to clean up your cut,

"I think I know why you'll choose the medical field as a major" you spoke up while he continues to clean your cut,

"And what is the reason for it?" He questions as he wipes the excess blood off,

"To take care of my wounds every time I do something because I'm a dumbass"

"That's true that you are a dumbass," he said in a monotone voice while he tried to control his laugh,

"Wow I'm offended Doctor Eun Hyuk" you sarcastically said, putting your other hand on your chest, giving him an offended look on your face

He chuckles silently, remembering that one time of you falling off your bike, giving him flashbacks.

———

Biking in the chilly wind trying to win a race against Eun once again is not great at all.

Especially if you have low stamina driving a bike fast.

You pedal faster, the chain rings spins wildly as you tried to let out breaths, being exhausted from the energy you have put while pedaling.

Though he won sadly, you tried to park your bike but your body being wobbly from the adrenaline caused you to trip and almost fell, thankfully being held by someone before your body had made an impact with the ground.

Your head turned around, as it was just your friend—you let out a sigh of relief, thankfully not embarrassing yourself once again on someone you do not know,

"You need to exercise" he inquired out of nowhere making you offended,

"Oh shut up." You retorted while rolling your eyes. You took his hands off you and continued to park your bike properly as Eun Hyuk just laughed at your wobbly state

"Stop laughing, we gotta go inside," you said, dragging him by his wrist while he continued to just laugh behind you.

I'm Mr. lover man

———

Finally the cut cleaned and bandaged, the two of you shoot up from the circular seat while you inspect your bandaged finger

You turned your head towards Eun Hyuk, showing him a smile before speaking up

"Thank you," you said while you touch your bandaged fingertips,

"Your welcome," he spoke back while showing you the signature smile of his

Flustered, this caused you to rotate your head to the side to not make him see your embarrassing face.

You did not fall in love with him.

You did not.

Right?

It is just admiration that's all

You affirm yourself that, yet—why had you failed that?

And I miss my lover man

———

It's been months, 7 months talking, laughing, and mocking each other with Eun.

———

"Whoever is last treats lunch" one of your friend's bets on the group, this caused you to snap out of your thoughts.

The bell rang, signaling it is lunch time—you and your friends quickly went outside of the room and ran, racing towards the cafeteria.

Running more slowly now, you panted heavily and stopped to lean down your body, your hands at your clumpy knees as your hair sticks to your sweaty face.

"YOU LOST Y/N!" One of your friends shouted towards you, making you embarrassed

You grunted in annoyance, slowly walking towards the group at the entrance of the cafeteria,

"Yeah I know, what do you guys want?" You asked them while searching onto your backpack for your purse

Your friends being shocked at you being serious treating for the lunch, they stuttered over words as they spoke,

"Y/n we were joking-" but before one of them can continue, you stopped them—pointing a finger in front of their lips,

"Shush, I'm feeling in the mood of being kind today so you guys are lucky," you teased in a 'matter of fact' tone while you continue to search in your bag

They nodded quietly, being intimidated by the tone of your voice

As you finally got your purse out of your bag, you got the group's lunch and your own as you set your tray and theirs,

"You know y/n, whenever we're about to call you, you're always with that glasses guy, Who is that anyway, is he your boyfriend or something?" One of your friends spoke out of nowhere

Choking at the juice you have been drinking, you stared towards them, eyes wide as a bright shade of red spreads over your face,

"Uhm no?- of course not! we're not dating...were just best friends" you declined their guess, stumbling over your answer,

"Yeah sure," Your friends chuckled. Realizing your actions, they quickly tease and ask questions to you non stop while your face burns red at the whole conversation,

"Come on just tell us Y/n-" before they can continue, they were interrupted by you once again, though this time—you stood up, your hands at the table,

"YES I LIKE HIM!" you shouted unconsciously as your face burns, your friend's eyes widened, in shock by your outburst

Half of the people in the cafeteria looked at you weirdly, making you shrink back to your seat, Eun Hyuk who is also in the cafeteria looks at you in confusion making your face redder in return.

Your friends being guilty tried to comfort you and rubbed your back—though, you accepted their apology quickly saying it's fine,

"I don't know why I said that- shit he's here, he probably didn't know about it right?" You panicked—causing you to curse at the same time as your eyes frantically tried to avoid Eun Hyuk's concerned gaze.

Your friends looked towards your best friend, stared back at you as one of them quickly sat beside you,

"He probably doesn't get the context, don't worry," one of your friends comforted you while rubbing your back as they look at your other friend

The two stared back at each before one of your friends offer,

"We can help you confess to him," one of them said, their eyes looking into you,

"What?" You questioned confused, eyebrows furrowed by the offer they're dealing,

"You said you like him, didn't you? it's almost what? 7 months and you just got hit by a truck by that realization, so might as well do it soon before you cry yourself to sleep" they said making you feel attacked,

"What no?-" you said in panic, stuttering once again

They stared at you, their eyebrows raised, making sure of your answer.

"Okay fine" you accepted in defeat, making their moods brighter

You regret agreeing on it.

Oh, I miss my lover

———

The ways in which you talk to me,

Weeks and weeks of preparation until February 14 hits

Have me wishing I were gone

———

"Ok, maybe we can set up a room full of roses and candles around the walls then-" one of your friends suggested—making you cringed at their idea,

"No." You stop them before they can continue and torture your ears by their suggestion,

"Why not?" They said disappointment in their voice,

"It sounds like they're gonna fuck when they're not." one of your friends spoke out randomly, making your face cherry red

Before your thoughts got clouded by lust, you slapped your face to make your consciousness back to work,

"Hah! See?~ they got a reality check because they were thinking of what it'll feel like to-"

"Shut up!"

———

Why did you do this?

Why did you agreed to do this?

Why did you get yourself into this?

How?

You wish to go back in time to never experience that again, but of course, you can not go back in time to change it.

It has been weeks and it's finally February 14

The day of love, to show someone affection to someone you love or like.

Ironic isn't it?

You think it was a cliché thing to confess on that day but you can not run away now can you?

As you finally walked on the rooftop, you saw a figure leaning on the balcony as the breezy air makes their hair flow with the wind.

Taking a deep breath, you tried to calm yourself down before walking towards the figure in a steady pace while your mind panics, scenarios clouding your mind—making you overthink.

Finally standing behind the figure, you spoke up,

"Eun Hyuk"

You called out his name, making him turn his head towards you and stopped leaning on the balcony,

"Oh Y/n you're here, what do you want to talk about?" He said, surprised by your sudden presence behind him

The ways you say my name

Have me running on and on

Soon after that, your mind quickly panics as you fiddle unconsciously on the white paper you're holding,

"Uhm- I'm- I-" you stammer over words making him more confused

'Come on Y/n, just give him the damn paper'

You wished you never gave him that paper.

Taking a deep breath once again you spoke more clearly at your words,

"Uhm… I'm here to give you this…" you spoke unsure of what to say before you gave him the piece of paper on his palm

He grabbed the folded paper out of your shaky hands, unfolding it

I like you.

Three words were written on it

Three words, one meaning

This was a confession,

You shouldn't have made.

Eyebrows raised at the sentence, his eyes were wide after reading the paper you have given him

He looked up at you, a disappointed look on his face

He finally spoke up, cutting the silent yet tense air

"Y/n… I-..." He shuttered over words before looking down at the paper again, guilt washing his entire body

Opening your eyes after you heard him spoke out, you looked up at him back as your heart beats wildly at the tone of his voice,

"So Uhm... Yeah, I.."

"I.."

"I Like You… Eun-Hyuk."

You shouldn't have said that.

You shouldn't have done that.

He stares at your eyes who is avoiding his dark brown ones that held a solemn look.

He bit his lip, frustration, and guilt toppling his emotion overboard as he spoke up once again

"I'm sorry…"

"But.."

"I don't have the same feelings as you have for me..."

Oh, I'm cramping up

I'm cramping up

You remembered regretting hearing that sentence come out of his mouth.

"Oh…" you said disappointed, a solemn tone on your voice making him regret his words

Oh how your heart broke at that memory

Oh how you thought he felt the same

Oh how oblivious and naive you were

You looked down at your feet, tears pricking and threatening to run down your cheeks and to the floor

"I'm sorry…" he apologized feeling guilty by his action that made you break down

"Ah, it's okay... It's fine." You muttered, assuring him

He felt like he did not deserve to hear you say that

He should be the one apologizing right?

But you're cracking up

You're cracking up

He was the reason of you being vulnerable right now, yet—why are you still saying its fine?

The air became tenser as the quiet and the breezy wind only play the sound between the two of you

"We can't have the same mutual feelings anyway, right?..." You spoke up quietly, making him feel more guilty at his reponse

"Thanks for the memories, i'll never forget it, we…" you started once again as he kept silent

"...Can still be friends"

"I guess..." You finally said, an unsure tone and pain etched on your voice

I'm Mr. lover man

———

The air becomes tense every time you two would go past each other

The relationship between the two of you got further and further away until the two of you became strangers to each others eyes

What is the point of staying friends if you guys can not even talk to each other without an awkward atmosphere in the environment between the two of you?

And I miss my lover man

The two of your friends noticed the tension between the two of you every time you guys will be in the same room,

Avoiding gazes,

Tense quiet and awkward air.

I'm Mr. Lover man

They thought you guys were dating already and just hiding it in embarrassment.

Not until graduation hits, do they finally notice you guys just being strangers at each other

And when they finally confront you about it, you kept silent

They failed, didn't they?

Oh, and I miss my lover man

———

Finally, you had put your luggage and boxes inside of your cheap yet enough apartment to live on

"I guess this is enough… I'll just need to get groceries now," you grunted as you dropped the box on the floor, dusting off your hands as you inspect the things inside your apartment

Becoming an early adult is not easy, especially becoming more independent without your parent's help was an addition to it, which was still a big shift in your life that you're not used to yet.

So finding a part-time job and a cheap apartment to live on was luck on your side.

After checking things inside your small apartment being put in their respective places, you dust off your clothes to be more presentable and took a hold of your doorknob

Pushing the door open, you got greeted by the dirty hallways, making you scrunch in disgust by the smell.

Walking away from the disgusting area, you got to an elevator and pressed the 1st-floor button as you felt yourself going down floor by floor.

The elevator door finally opened—greeting you to the entrance of the building

Stepping out, you stopped into a halt—caused by a certain particular voice, making you turn your head around

"Ah, thank you"

Oh, he still wore the glasses you bought him that time huh?

Eyes wide by seeing him again, memories pang into your mind instantly; causing you to briefly shut your eyes,

"Y/n?..." a voice interrupted your mind, making you open your eyes once again,

"Eun-Hyuk…"

Hello! May I request Silverash for the Valentine's day event?? Thank you ❤❤

From, SilverAsh

Valentine's Day Letter and Date event

You can’t resist it - as you’re approaching the Kjeragian inn you’re to stay at, you stop before the door and allow your attention to be taken by the happenings of the surrounding street. Considering it’s Valentine’s, couples hooked by the arms stroll past and merchants are selling Valentine’s Day themed handmade gifts. A soft grin on your face, your thoughts briefly drift to a certain Feline; however they do not linger there for long, as you’re in Kjerag for professional business regarding Rhodes Island and not for holiday.

And so, you enter the inn - taking a moment to rid yourself of the snow on your clothes and the top of your head - then speak with one of the innkeepers who escorts you to your room right away. Once they shut the door behind you, you set your luggage case on the bed and begin unpacking.

However, you’re still a little distracted; your eyes refuse to quit drifting towards the nearby window where you can see the street with couples and merchants still occupying it. You attempt as best you can, though your Feline lover doesn't leave your thoughts at all while you watch the street.

Absent-minded, you pull one of your spare shirts from your briefcase - and something falls out as you do and flutters to the ground. A small frisson of shock jolts your body, eyebrows raising in alarm. After blinking at the item for a few moments, you snap out of whatever you were teetering on and bend down to pick it up.

Your eyes soften once it’s in your hand - a silver envelope tied up with thin red ribbon. It’s cold against your fingers, the ribbon is done up in a tidy manner, and your name in familiar penmanship is written on the envelope’s flap in red ink. You tilt your head to the side a little as you undo the ribbon, and from inside the envelope you take a piece of white paper. As soon as your eyes are met with rows of the same elegant hand-printing on the envelope’s flap, you know where the letter came from; warmth fills your chest and a slow smile falls to your face.

--------------------

My [name],

I regret that I cannot share all of this to you in person, but I must wait until the time comes. I believe if you’re reading these words, you have arrived safely in Kjerag. How do I know this, you say? I have my ways. But won’t you smile, my dear? This means we’ll soon be together…it’s been only a short while since Christmas, and yet, how I long to see you.

That special occasion nearing…Valentine’s Day, was it? My apologies, Kjerag celebrates countless jubilations and I haven't the time to study all of them, much less participate. As for Valentine’s Day, it’s not an important event for me, no; it’s a day like any other. Though, I am aware it’s famous as ‘the day of love’, and such happens to spark intrigue in me. I must say, my dear, the I of yesteryears would certainly be dismayed at how I’ve now come to warm at the word ‘love’.

Seldom do affection and love offer anything, not in war or any of Terra; it’s unlikely I will ever even need to think of such things. Or so I had thought of myself, my dear. With you standing at my side, I find myself abandoning those old beliefs of mine. Why, you say? [Name], don’t jest me so. Surely you know that.

You caused this within me, my dear. If you must know the truth, I don’t care much for religion; however if I am ever reborn into this world at all, I am certain of one thing. I would find myself in love with you each time. You are perfect beyond belief and everything to me. Nothing could ever hope to compare. Since the start of this all, you’ve clouded my judgment, eased my mind, and softened my heart without fail. I must say; my dear [name], it is in these ways you make a fool of me.

Love is a beast, I've learned. One no man can hope to win against, an undefeatable opponent. To love another is to create your own greatest weakness. And yet, though I understand this so, I cannot restrain myself from loving you so deeply, my dear. My heart lives with you. I seem happy about such, you say? Yes…that much would be true.

Perhaps I am taking a daring choice in saying what I will in a moment, but it matters not. This world of death and war needs you; but I know I need you far more than it does, my dear. Far more than anything does, in fact. Perhaps that is selfish of me?

I am well aware all of this is in your favour, [name]. Nevertheless, as I have told you in the past, I am in your palm. I can only ask that you’ll have mercy on me. I love you earnestly, my dear.

My apologies, this letter has indeed taken a turn. Or perhaps not, as it is Valentine’s Day after all? Of course, speaking of such… I’ve arranged plans for today, solely for you and I. I am well aware you are in Kjerag for your duties under Rhodes Island, but there are far better ways to kill time and there is no better person than I for you to spend it with, isn't that right my dear?

No doubt I am at the SilverAsh estate by the time you’ve received this letter. Come find me, but I insist you don't keep me waiting. Why the urgency? [Name], my dear; all I want is to hold you in my arms again, is that too much to ask?

Yours and yours alone,

Enciodas

--------------------

You can't hope to suppress the tenderly affectionate grin SilverAsh’s letter causes on your face; your eyes linger on the last words of the letter for a few seconds more. And then - not even thinking twice - you leave your inn room in a flash of movement. You silently pray no one from Rhodes Island spots you exiting from the inn in a sudden haste.

As you travel to the Feline’s estate, your heart is warm in your chest and in stark contrast to the bitter cold of Kjerag’s climate. You’re standing before the door of the SilverAsh estate in no time.

You lift your hand to knock however you pause when you notice a black-clad figure in one of the estate’s courtyards, ‘Enciodas.’ You approach him, and you’re surprised to see he’s gliding back and forth across where a pool of water has long frozen over - ice skating, you realize. Once you come into his view, the Feline stops so abruptly that you hear the blades of his ice skates scrape roughly against the ice. That amuses you, though even so you smile ever-so warmly at him. He can't help but do the same; his fluffy ears perk upwards briefly as he speaks, “at last, you’re here, my dear.”

You stop at the edge of the makeshift ice rink, chiming with a small laugh when SilverAsh comes to take your hands in his own with eagerness, “I’m right here, Enciodas. You don’t need to be so urgent.” As he pulls you closer until you’re pressed up against his heartbeat, he huffs a little in reply, “Hah, you’re teasing me, aren’t you? Hush, [name].” Stifling another chuckle, you melt into the Feline’s embrace; you’re quickly surrounded with such intense warmth that you forget that Kjerag is snowing around both you and him. SilverAsh leans down to nuzzle into your neck and his cheek almost hot on your skin, while his breath is cool when he whispers against your ear, “Happy Valentine’s, my dear. As of late, I’ve truthfully longed for nothing more than to spend it with you.” You grin at that, “...Me too.”

Before he pulls away, SilverAsh leaves a kiss on your jawline that causes your cheeks to flush pink. “Now then, should I explain my arrangements for today? Ice skating is indeed a joy that many in Terra can't enjoy, and as such I wanted you to experience it. It’s high time you did.” He motions to a nearby bench where you notice a box is sitting, “A pair of ice skates I had made for you are waiting. Come join me.”

You grow a little bashful as you go to take a seat and open the box, “Thank you for all of this. But Enciodas, you don’t have to get me so many gifts all the time. You already gave me that beautiful sculpture for Christmas…” The Feline’s tail begins to flick side to side and a small smug grin comes across his face, “No need to worry such things as that, my dear. Of course, money is something I’m rarely short of.” He chuckles lowly when you roll your eyes at him half-heartedly.

Once the skates are on, you approach the ice again. SilverAsh holds out a hand for you, “Shall we? I have much planned after this, and so-” Your eyes widen, and your surprises causes you to cut in before he can finish, “There’s more?” Rather than smugness, sincerity fills his expression this time; affection pools behind his eyes and spills out to cause a tender grin on his lips, “Of course there’s more, you’re only mine today. Now… won’t you take my hand, my dear?”

Soutaicho’s Secret Admirer (Shunsui x Reader) — Part 5/6

Author’s Note:

It should be noted that this story is almost coming to a close...I’m sad to stop writing about Shunsui but it’s time to wrap this one up. So there’s maybe 1 or 2 more parts left.

Warning: A bit of smut ahead. One can only be seduced endlessly for so long without something happening about it.

–

Read Part 1, Part 2 , Part 3 and Part 4 first!

Uncharacteristically, Shunsui was late to arrive at the office. It was almost ten in the morning when he finally strolled in. Nanao would have admonished him without a thought but the dark circles beneath his eyes revealed he had already had a terrible night. She didn’t want to make it a terrible morning as well.

Shunsui didn’t have the excuse of drunken debauchery at some late night party for his tardiness. The last party he’d been to had been Lisa-chan’s Valentine’s Day celebration and that was over two weeks ago.

It was more or less about how his loneliness and melancholy had kept him up late into the night. Something he definitely didn’t want to burden sweet Nanao-chan about.

He had found himself strolling randomly in seireitei at around three in the goddamn morning because simply staying in his bed staring at his ceiling felt impossible. He didn’t have these kind of difficult nights too often but when he did have them, they were quite terrible.

Sure, he missed Juu. But his loneliness was a bit more than that this time.

It has been over two weeks since he had received anything from his beloved Secret Admirer. Fourteen whole days of complete silence from her was quite unusual, and he felt it acutely. Where was she?

The darkest of thoughts had plagued him at night. What if she was sent on a dangerous mission? What if she had been injured? He hated to think it...but what if she was never coming back? Hadn’t he honestly lost enough?

The thoughts spiraled as the evening progressed into the wee hours of the morning, growing darker and more melancholy.

He knew he was not the greatest catch in the Soul Society. That title fell to Byakuya, uncontested. Shunsui was older than everyone in seireitei - a thousand years too old, he’d say. He was nobility too but he wasn’t one to truly fit into that mould, which deterred most noblewomen from considering him.

He wasn’t what one would call conventionally handsome either. He knew he wasn’t ugly...but he wasn’t exactly...whole. Not anymore. Maybe once he would have held some appeal and he had many lovers who thought him handsome enough to have a tumble with him... but the eyepatch never failed to remind him that he was never going to be good looking, by anyone’s standards, with a goddamn hole in his face.

Most days, none of this would honestly bother him. But last night it did.

His beloved Secret Admirer probably came to the conclusion that he wasn’t worth all the trouble after all. Surely, there had to be a reason why he had never been able to have a long term relationship. He blamed it on his job but...was that all it was? Maybe he was just not meant to have a happily ever after with someone.

As romantic as he was, he didn’t really believe in the concept of happily ever after. He knew relationships were work. It was a commitment between two people who cared about each other to work on staying together through whatever. With time, he had put any thoughts of a relationship on the back burner. With his duty to the Gotei 13, and his responsibilities as well as the added burden of maintaining his reputation as the Soutaicho...it was a practical choice.

But his Secret Admirer had made him want. Had made him yearn for a happily ever after for himself in a way he never had before.

He wanted to be loved and cherished as much as he wanted to love and cherish that one special person in his life. But did he really deserve it?

He knew it was her silence that had his latent insecurities rising to the surface keeping him up at night.

So as sleep deprived as he was, he came to the office with a plan. He couldn’t bear her silence anymore so he was not going to. With everything that had come up in the office, he hadn’t been able to finish up the letter he had started to write to her. At that time, it had felt futile considering there was no way to send it to her.

But he had a brilliant idea. He would have it published in the next installment of the Seireitei Communication including just enough information so that she would know it’s him while withholding enough details to still keep it anonymous. He could trust Hisagi-kun to be discreet.

He had a plan, and it could actually work!

If only he could actually find that bit of lavender paper he had left on his desk.

“Nanao-chan, did you remove anything from my desk by any chance?” he asked, opening up drawers and bending down to check under the desk.

Nanao looked up from the training schedule she was working on. “Nothing more than the usual paperwork. Why what have you lost now?” she asked with an overexaggerated sigh.

“My, my, Nanao-chan. You make it sound like I lose things on a daily basis.”

“The only thing lost on a daily basis around here is my sanity,” she said, rolling her eyes. Still she relented. A distressed Taicho always meant a distressed Nanao. “Fine. Describe it to me and I will tell you if I saw it anywhere.”

“It was nothing official. Just a bit of lavender paper I had been writing on…” he trailed off seeing the look on her face. “What? Did you see it?”

“You lost the letter you were writing to you Secret Admirer?” she asked.

“Nanao-chan! How did you…?”

“You forget, Taicho,” she said quite matter of factly. “There’s nothing that goes on here I don’t know about. But I haven’t seen it. Maybe it got mixed up in some paperwork and got sent to another division. I don’t think anyone would recognize your flowery handwriting which you reserve for your personal correspondence anyway. So nothing to worry about.”

Shunsui simply stared at her. He has known his little fuktaicho for too long to not notice that something was off. All this time, he thought she was just laughing at his expense because he was mooning over someone he didn’t even know. But now...that look...the way she said it without even having to think about it...it all felt fishy somehow. Nanao-chan was up to something.

“Why are you staring at me like that?” she huffed, correcting the papers on her desk that didn’t need correcting. A nervous habit that always gave her away. “If you don’t have any serious work, I have a pile of forms…”

“You know perfectly well who it is, don’t you, Nanao-chan?” he interrupted her attempts to distract him.

“I don’t know what you’re…”

“Please, Nanao-chan. It’s perfectly obvious you know exactly what I am talking about. Just...tell me…” he said.

He was so serious and intent. Nanao had only ever seen him like that in the heat of the worst kind of battle. She dropped her pretenses as well.

“She and I have both left enough breadcrumbs for you as it is. So if you’re so desperate to know who she is, why don’t you do the work to actually find out?” she asked him. “Clearly the girl cares about you but is terrified to approach you. Who wouldn’t be considering who you are and the position you hold. She is a nice girl, Taicho. But as things stand, she wouldn’t be the one to approach you so maybe you should find out for yourself who she is and do the approaching.”

So Nanao did indeed know who his Secret Admirer was. He understood her reasons why she couldn’t tell him. It wasn’t really her secret to divulge. Shunsui had to respect that despite his desperation.

“Is my sweet Nanao-chan giving her taicho dating advice?” he teased instead.

“Yes, I am,” she declared with a raised brow. “For even I can see how far you’ve fallen that you need advice from me to get yourself a date!”

Shunsui gasped, buying into the friendly teasing. “Nanao-chan is so mean to her taicho!”

Finally, they both got back to work, but Shunsui’s mind was still thinking about what Nanao had said. Apparently breadcrumbs were laid out and he hadn’t even noticed! He clearly had to pay more attention.

He tried to outline the facts in his mind.

The letters were always lemon scented. It could be a shampoo or some kind of scented cream...but it smelled fresh, almost as if unintentional. Something to further ponder upon.

The gifts were always elaborate but simple and he hadn’t been able to trace it through any vendor. The chocolates were handmade so his little Secret Admirer was probably very good with cooking and baking.

The handwriting was very distinctive as well. Especially the way she looped all her Ls and Bs with a distinctive flowy curve.

So far, the facts didn’t fit well into place to identify her as anyone he knew...but somehow, it felt like it was just barely within reach now. As if it’s only missing one final puzzle piece for the whole thing to come together.

That night, sleep evaded him once more. He couldn’t deny it. He missed her! He couldn’t help but wishing that she was right next to him, romancing him with more than just her words. He wished he could cherish her in all the ways he desperately yearned to.

He took the letters he kept at hand in the drawer of his bedside table. He found that he liked to read them sometimes, and no matter how many times he read her words, they still managed to make him feel things. The shape of her words, the texture of the paper...it comforted him.

However, the sensual seductive ones were his downfall.

With all the time he has been alive, and all the experience he’s had, one would think he would be able to resist the temptation. But he often couldn’t.

Reading those letters, describing how she wanted to make love under the moonlight or how she yearned to taste him...it had him imagining soft feminine hands touching him. His hand would unconsciously reach into his hakama of its own volition and grasp his manhood, wondering what it would feel like to be touched by someone who ardently wanted to please him.

It wouldn’t take him too long at all. He would cum, gasping into the empty bedroom, wishing he had a name he could moan. Wishing she was here for him to hold.

Sated, he’d finally fall asleep. Yet though his body was satisfied, his mind wasn’t. He couldn’t help but feel alone on this big empty bed.

That coveted final piece of the puzzle arrived as, of all things, more paperwork. He was mindlessly flipping through some reports after lunch the next day when it popped out at him like well-lit beacon.

It wasn’t anything special. Just a request for more funds to be allocated for a better training ground for the 13th division. Except it was filled out by his beloved Secret Admirer. The handwriting screamed her identity at him, looping Ls and Bs and all.

“_____-san,” he whispered to himself, wondering how he could have missed it.

Suddenly, everything was perfectly crystal clear.

Everyone knew that while Kuchiki Rukia settled in enough to pick her own fuktaicho, the 3rd seat of the 13th was acting in that role in an unofficial capacity, putting her in-charge of all the paperwork coming and going from that division. A reason why she was always showing up at the 1st...giving her ample opportunities to learn his habits well enough to leave behind those delightful missives without ever getting caught.

The lemon scent was from all the lemonade he knew she made for her division and for some special occasions in the seireitei. It was her specialty, a way of creating comfort and homeliness for her subordinates. He had tasted her chocolates twice - once at the Valentine’s Day party itself and then when she gifted them to him specifically. Both facts which had been pointed out by Nanao-chan while _____-san stood right next to him. No wonder she had flushed red then. It hadn’t been out of embarrassment but possibly from thinking she might get caught. The little minx.

He couldn’t help but remember every encounter he had with her in the recent past. Her cute blushes...the way she gasped out “Soutaicho!” Come to think of it, every time he saw her, he felt like she almost called him Shunsui out of habit only to change it to his official title at the last minute. He even recalled the twinkle in her eyes every time she looked up at him.

He couldn’t believe it. He finally knew who his Secret Admirer was and she’d been right before his eyes, had he only known where to look. He couldn’t help smiling, thinking about all the ways he would get back at her for running him around in circles. He would torture her so, so deliciously…

“You have that dopey smile on your face. Should I be worried?” Nanao asked, breaking him out of his thoughts.

“Hmm…? Of course not, Nanao-chan,” he said, not really reassuring her at all. “I am heading out. Be back soon!”

“Taicho!” she called out but he was already gone.

...to be continued.

the image of curie trying to sneak into the cuddle pile actually made me squee it was so cute! companions cuddling with sole reaction someday? <3

Aww!!! I'm so glad you enjoyed it!!! 🥰 Curie is one of my favorites to write (with my other two favorites being Piper and Cait) so I had quite a bit of fun throwing that in. 😊

Also, I may or may not have given Cait, Piper, and Curie a little extra description than the others, but it was not my fault. I was a victim of circumstance. Cuddling + my favorite girls = me getting description happy 😂😂😂

Thank you so much for this beautiful request! I hope you enjoy! 💙💛

Cait - Is always surprised when it happens. The first few times F!Sole suddenly just is leaning on her, her chin propped on Cait's shoulder as her arms wrap around Cait's middle, Cait is shocked as can be. She is a little stiff with it for the first several times, carefully wrapping a bony arm around F!Sole and sort of just letting her stay where she's at while Cait is frozen in place. However, as she grows more accustomed to it, Cait loosens somewhat and might even quietly signal F!Sole that she wants to cuddle by leaning against her a little more or carefully touching F!Sole's hand or shoulder and just being more touch-oriented in general. She is not much of an initiator, but if she has had a bad day, trusts F!Sole a lot, and F!Sole is lying down or sitting somewhere nearby, Cait will crawl over and just collapse on her best friend, knowing she'll make it better by being there for her unconditionally.

Piper - Absolutely adores the affection. Whenever she sits near F!Sole literally anywhere, F!Sole will just reach over and pull her over so she is leaned against her totally, her head resting against her best friend's chest or shoulder and F!Sole resting her head on Piper's as she just quietly listens to Piper talk. Piper will snuggle closer, never missing a beat as a big grin grows on her face while she yammers on about her day or whatever she has found out. However, if her best friend doesn't start cuddling her when she sits near her, Piper herself will usually initiate it. She'll just suddenly squish against F!Sole, completely unannounced as she carries on as if nothing happened, her arm tightly wrapped around her. If F!Sole is lying down anywhere, Piper takes that as a pure invitation to just flop down on top of her and be an aggravating little turd. But Piper knows her best friend secretly loves to be close with her found family and Piper is definitely no exception to the rule.

Curie - Is positively as happy as can be when F!Sole cuddles with her. When F!Sole first reaches her arm around Curie's neck and pulls her near so that her head is underneath F!Sole's chin and Curie is practically lying on her, Curie is practically popping with excitement and pure happiness. She loves all of the new sensations of actually being able to feel things when people touch her, and to be so near to someone that means so much to her is a true gift. When Curie finds out that F!Sole loves to cuddle with her friends, Curie has no problem springing impromptu cuddles on her. If F!Sole is lying down, Curie will sneak over and cuddle closely to her until F!Sole wraps her arms around her. Even if F!Sole is standing, she's not off-limits, and Curie will hurry over and just grab her around from behind, sometimes scaring her half to death if she is not expecting it. However, she takes it well, knowing that the girl is just excited to show her friend affection.

MacCready - Is pretty uncomfortable but finds it to be sort of nice. He never particularly wants to sit there very long with her but he usually lets her cuddle him for as long as she wants until he gets so uncomfortable that the only excuse he can think of is that he absolutely has to use the bathroom. She has since learned to release him before he gets to that point, understanding and respecting his boundaries. He never initiates cuddles, and he would honestly be fine with just occasional hugs since they do not make him feel quite as awkward.

Deacon - Is really squirmy and it does not last too long. He is not overly comfortable with cuddling or any extended contact, and it usually consists of the two of them sitting on a couch together and she just randomly throws her arm around his middle and leans her head against his shoulder. He sort of awkwardly pats her back and lets his hand rest there uncomfortably. He just wants to get away as soon as he possibly can without hurting her feelings in the process. Needless to say, he is definitely not an initiator and he honestly is not going to find her just so she can grab onto him. He cares about her in his own way, but touchy-feely stuff is not his thing.

Codsworth - Is very happy when she tries to cuddle him. It usually is more like a really extended hug, but he very much appreciates her effort even if he cannot truly feel the contact. He loves the sentiment and it lets him know that she truly sees him as family. And that is the greatest gift of all. As for initiation, he tries to in his own extremely strange way. He will usually reach a pincer around her, and she gets the message, quickly hugging him tightly. It just feels nice to him to see evident proof that she feels so much affection for him.

Hancock - Loves every single minute of it, and is not ashamed to say so. As soon as she does it, he is surprised, but he returns the affection quickly, asking her what got into her today. But other than that, he just happily holds her, grinning widely in spite of himself. He will not usually initiate it, but he has plenty of ways of trying to trick her into initiating it herself. If she's sad, then he says that he read somewhere in a Pre-War book that cuddling can raise serotonin levels. She usually just chuckles in reply to him before taking advantage of his offer. It always makes him very happy to just hug her tightly and not let go, feeling her warmth against him.

Danse - Does not know what to do, but secretly loves it to death and longs for more of it. Whenever she springs it on him out of nowhere the first few times, he is shocked and almost frozen, but he reacts soon enough and slowly brings his arms around her. He does not know what he is doing, but he knows that he absolutely loves the feeling of her actually wanting to be close with him and show that she cares in such a sweet way. It is a tenderness that he has never really experienced, and he just encloses her in his arms totally and enjoys it. He is never going to initiate it, worrying that he is imposing or something, but he openly welcomes it whenever F!Sole initiates. After finding out about his true identity, he usually wordlessly and unintentionally clues F!Sole in that he needs cuddles when he looks so serious and perturbed.

Preston - Enjoys it quite a bit, but it shocks him when she first does it. However, he does not have a problem reciprocating by putting an arm around her carefully. He is happy as can be when he is receiving affection like this, and it makes him feel like he actually matters to someone in a way that is more than just as a respected officer. He does not ever initiate it since he is sort of a bit too shy and uncertain to do so. However, he will ask for it very occasionally and very sheepishly, really hoping that she will not turn him down. He is always very pleased when she welcomes him with open arms.

Valentine - Honestly is terribly shocked, but he does enjoy it. When it first happens, he just sort of wraps an arm around her and pats her on the back kindly, expecting her to only hug him for a moment, but when she just snuggles closer and rest her head on his shoulder, he is very surprised. After all, his body is not exactly like that of humans and cannot be comfortable to lean against. But she seems to have no problem with that. He would never initiate cuddling, but he is always open to it if she wants to. He does not want to push her into anything, and he definitely does not want her to feel like she has to do it. Even if he does enjoy it greatly.

X6-88 - Is completely standoffish about it, but for some reason finds that a tiny piece of him actually likes it. Needless to say, he absolutely hates that part of him. When she first starts to spring these sorts of things on him, he insists that they need to find something more constructive to do. However, as time goes on, he insists much less and mostly retains complete silence, just letting her hold onto him but not really reciprocating. He would never initiate this sort of thing directly, but the closest he will get to it is sitting down on the same couch she is sitting on and just staying quiet in hopes that she will do it. She soon realizes what this gesture means, and she knows that he wants cuddles when he does that. She finds it quite adorable to be honest.

Dogmeat - Is absolutely thrilled any time she does it. Whenever she calls him over, giving him lots of pets before just hugging him close, he is wagging all over, panting happily and snuffling at her face. In fact, he oftentimes is the one initiating the cuddles, hurrying over to give her lots of kisses before trying to fit into her lap even though he is much too big for it. Literally every time that she is sleeping, he is either lying right next to her or on top of her. He is literally the best cuddle buddy ever because he is up for it twenty-four seven.

Strong - Absolutely hates it and will literally get up and walk away if she starts trying to do it. He will also fuss about it for a really long time, and makes a special note to bring it up in front of her other friends just to try to embarrass her and keep her from doing it ever again. However, when he least expects it, she will do it again to try to get him into the habit of letting her do it. Plus, she also thought it was kind of funny how he fussed constantly and let such a silly thing get to him.

Maxson - Is extremely uncomfortable with it, and believes that it is even somewhat inappropriate. However, he does secretly like it, and that feeling nags at him. He is usually significantly more chill about it if she initiates such a thing away from others, but he is still very uncomfortable. He is not in the least accustomed to such things, and he is one of those people that had originally thought this sort of thing was for either little kids or for people in love. But when he realizes that she is just showing she cares in a beautiful deeper than friendship but not at all romantic sort of way, he warms to it a little more. He will never initiate it, but he is eventually simply okay with it and lets her do as she wishes as long as absolutely no one can see them.

Sturges - Does not mind it at all, and actually likes it somewhat. It makes him a little uncomfortable the first few times she does it, but he soon realizes that it's her way of showing him that she cares about him. He is slightly self-conscious of how greasy and sweaty he often is, but since she does not seem to mind it, he just goes with it. He does not initiate it ever because he considers it to be the gentlemanly thing to do to let her decide if she wants to cuddle or not.

Glory - Is extremely uncomfortable and dangerously close to shoving F!Sole off when it first happens. However, she slowly figures out that it feels really nice to have someone's arms around her when the person is someone that she trusts as much as F!Sole. She is never fully comfortable with it, but she definitely craves it to a degree and will very hesitantly sort of bump F!Sole's shoulder to let her know that she would appreciate some love right about then. Especially if she has had a particularly difficult time with a mission or she is just feeling less than her usual self.
