Steven Grant x Autistic!Reader

Just some drabbles of what being friends/partners with Steven Grant would look like with an autistic reader since, I myself, am autistic. Autism is a spectrum so I tried to make it inclusive but some of the traits are obviously going to be more geared towards my experience since that's what I'm writing from. Also gender neutral!reader

TW: talking about stimming, autistic meltdowns, cpstd, insomnia, DID
Steven Grant
Steven Grant has a lot of autistic traits, so I’ll be treating him like he is.
Rigid routines, hyperfixations (Egyptology), always calling his Mom every morning, being visibly upset when his routine is changed, etc
CPSTD can exacerbate autism traits so whether or not Marc and Jake have autism in particular I’m not going to get into right this moment BUT
man has insomnia among other things he gets it he understands you better than most.
If you were cohabitating the both of you would have your safe spaces in the flat
On top of that the entire place would be sensory friendly, your little retreat
Overhead light never gets turned on when it’s with you two, Steven keeps the curtains open for some natural light
incense from his involuntary travels would be stockpiled
He definitely has some sort of trinket or keepsake that makes white noise of some kind
Might be a water feature or windchimes hung up by the window- Gus’ tank also emits some white noise from the filter and water pump
The flat will always have some sort of noise to drown out the busy streets outside
When the noises are overstimulating to the both of you though he’s got noise canceling headphones and earbuds- he misplaces them a lot so there’s always extra to go around
Though eventually he gets you your own pair for around the flat
If you use a cane or any sort of walker he invests in making sure you have a spot to put it while you’re around the flat and that there’s actually space for you to walk around with it if needed
While he loves his collections of books, if you can’t traverse the flat with all that stuff on the floor he’s going to find another spot for them. Shoved into a closet somewhere- a storage unit, whatever he can do to keep his books and you
You both definitely stay in a lot more than you do go out
The street just outside the flat is busy but in the quieter hours the two of you go on short walks under the moonlight
If you’re novelty seeking though Steven’s not going to be the best at helping but will do his best to tag along with you if it’s outside of the house. 
Sometimes he’s right there with you ready to go out and other times he’s just wanting to stay home, you don’t always match energies 
Novelty seeking at home though? Completely different story. He’s always happy to dive into a new topic with you, whether it’s related to his own hyperfixation or one of your own
Insomnia and DID affect his memory so even if he has come to terms with Marc he’s still going to be writing things down, taking notes on the subject you two are diving into
When you need to stim Steven has a TON of trinkets and stim toys around the flat if not already in his pockets
The only thing he wouldn’t share with you is his rubik cube, if that’s not already in his hands while the two of you are talking it’s in his pocket or misplaced on a shelf it’s definitely his most well loved stimming item and he has to fix it, often
Puzzles also! From old crosswords to literal picture puzzles he’s down to do them all with you and will probably be absentmindedly doing one while you info dump
He has a rocking chair somewhere in the flat that’s incredibly comfy and well loved for some full body stimming
I don’t think Steven would have a sensory swing and if he does he was to embarrassed to set up for himself
Like Steven doesn’t hate himself for being autistic
He never learned to mask but there’s still lingering anxieties, they just aren’t focused around his autism, more on his DID and just general trauma 
If you or any or the other alters found the swing though there would be some questions and a lot of hesitance and excuses on Steven’s end
Well you bet that swing is getting set up now
Even if Steven doesn’t end up using it as much he’s glad that it’s there if you or him need it at some point 
You both do parallel play/being alone together- you’ll focus on your task and he’ll do his while you both are in the same room
Whilst some tasks give Steven the ick he can’t offload all the chores to his alters 
So when the dishwasher needs to be opened or dishes cleaned in the sink he has a whole process to try and make it easier on himself
He wouldn’t be good at helping you out with these tasks either but his presence is appreciated 
If eating noises are triggering Steven will either fetch the noise canceling headphones or go eat out on the porch or off in another room
Safe foods! He has them written down if he doesn’t already remember them
The flat is stocked with both his and your safe foods
If you’re out of the house he keeps a backpack on him that would have snacks and trinkets
I don’t think Steven goes nonverbal often mostly because I think that version for him is probably just retreating back and forcing the other alters out so that at least someone is talking in whatever situation is happening
I think if it does happen in a safe space with you though he’s most likely writing down his thoughts to you over his notebook
When you go nonverbal he gets a little panicky, because he knows how he feels when that comes up so he’s much more fretful over that
He starts asking you a bunch of yes or no questions to things you may need which isn’t always entirely helpful as it can be a bit overwhelming
But after his anxieties are quelled he’s much more able to help out in whatever you need
Whatever communication device or tool you use he’s more than willing to accommodate and carries around cards in the backpack as well
When you have a meltdown for the first time in front of him he definitely isn’t entirely sure of himself, he doesn’t know exactly what you need so it takes some trial and error 
After the meltdown though he asks what you’d like to have happen when another one occurs
Whether you need physical touch or instead a weighted blanket or touch sensation at all he’s ready to help
Whatever entertainment medium you like he’ll put on/grab to keep your mind distracted and calmed
If it’s in public he will probably let another alter handle it since that’s overwhelming for him too though I think he feels guilty about it despite it just being a defense mechanism on his end. 
He wants to help you and himself, but part of that is accepting where he’s at and sometimes trying to push yourself is the opposite of what’s needed

hi! could you write some general hc for Jeff and Toby? Also could you talk about more about your canon plsss?
✧.* gen jeff and toby headcanons
-aaa of course !! i love jeff and toby so much
for my canon, I like to think that i just kind of make the characters more real. For most of their original canon stories, or for the fanon versions of them, their characters are made to be just killing machines with a little bit of angst and the story of whatever caused it. I base them off my favourite versions of their stories (or combine), but i give them flaws and little quirks that make them into an actual character rather than a person. I also try to write in how they are all traumatized people because thats usually brushed off. I wouldn't mind going into more detail if you'd like :3
jeff the killer
 incredibly close with liu before everything went down, now he just feels guilty being around him
hardcore metal and punk fan. Screeching Weasel, Benighted, To The Grave. stuff like that
Has night terrors. Rooms with Ben because he's the only one who can calm him down when he awakes. 
Soft spot for animals (usually prefers cats but doesn't say anything to Smile)
Grew up in a very strict catholic family
Is the self-proclaimed "white boy" of the mansion but is hispanic
Pushes his emotions away until something really triggers him
When he finally gets triggered, it does not end well
Full breakdowns. Rage, Depression. He goes through all of it in the span of like 2 days. 
Everyone gives him space except Ben
No mirrors in his room. Avoids ones outside
phantom pain from the burns 
he looks absolutely atrocious. Probably the worst of all the creeps but to be fair he went through severe body trauma
For a grown man, he's on the skinner side 
still really fucking strong though
Can't sleep without noise. One of the reasons he rooms with Ben so much bc hes loud
Messy room. Does not clean, does not know where anything is
only really uses the top of his face to show emotion because he's scared of re-opening his mouth scars
He would spend hundreds of dollars at bath and body works but all the scents he picks up would clash so badly
the kind of guy to say no when someone asks for something but then get 3 of it
listens to british rap unironically
toby rogers
mentioned before, but hates waffles. Any classic breakfast food he dislikes but those are the worst
a collector. His room is filled with small little trinkets he's picked up. Has a rock or button collection
Probably the worst of the creeps emotionally
Was raised in a pretty toxic environment.. Never learned how to manage his emotions. Has too many of them and they change too often so he kind of just. explodes
Usually extreme rage or goes nonverbal
is autistic idc
very ! bad ! ptsd
nervous around male authoritative figures
initially refused to eat at the dinner table since it was a requirement of his fathers, but is getting better at it
soft spot for kids, will let sally dress him up and do his makeup
religious guilt though he was never religious
finds EJ to be very good company, he enjoys the atmosphere
speaking of EJ, he taught Toby a lot of medical care since he's not always available
sleeps on the floor pretty often
kind of an asshole sometimes
master of sarcasm tbh

i just redid my room this week,, and it has me wondering what abby and readers room/apartment would look like !! and if they would have any pets or plants and things of those sorts !!
-🧸
you have just opened the floodgates. I fucking love home decor n decorating shit, I literally went Bonkers when I got to decorate my bedroom in my college apartment.
ok so I drew out a floor plan.
Tumblr media
so this is gonna be. a big one. so. jerry spared literally no expense when he got abby her college apartment. sure its one bedroom one bath, but it's got a spacious living room that connects to the kitchen. there's a big ol island in the kitchen where abby got so many stools bc she wanted to fit all of her besties. thinks her washer n dryer are in the worst spot ever, but they're the stacked ones so it isn't as bad as it could be. that lil area next to the patio? her reading spot. she never really knew what to do with the space until she met you, and then it clicked. reading nook. one of your guys' favorite dates was hitting every thrift store you could to find a good coffee table and old armchairs. one green, one pink, one baby blue. she loves them to bits, they're absolutely moving into her next place with her. she literally Made a bookshelf to store all the books you gradually left at her house, and it's become your joint shelf now <3
the sofa is Huge and her dad bought it for her, it's black upholstery. her apartment doesn't have one particular style, just very Abby. I forgot to draw it in but there is absolutely a trophy case in the living room. her medals and old jerseys are on the wall, mixed with your band posters and art prints. her favorite parts are the framed photo graphs of her friends and family, including multiple of you. she specifically picked an apartment with great windows, and this came in so handy when you moved in because the both of you basically have a fucking Jungle of plants. Hanging plants, plant stands, plants on every surface. ur babies. the walls are a kinda neutral white color, nothing super special, but it really doesn't matter when it's covered in so much stuff! plus, you usually have colored lights on (like salt lamps, candles, bluetooth color shifting lightbulbs), that the walls are usually just whatever color you want them to be. the couch is covered in throw blankets, that you brought in. the main living area, bedroom, and closet are all dark oak hardwood-tile, with the softest rugs known to man, especially in the bedroom bc neither of you want to step on ice cold tile in the winter.
the bathroom is a different, simple white tile. the shower has glass sliding doors, that abby absolutely uses to look at u while u shower n vice versa <3 it has a built in tub that u make full use of. the bathroom counter is covered in candles, trinkets, skincare, hygiene products, but all very organized bc it makes abby stress less.
the bedroom. ok. her bed? godly. so fucking comfy. king sized, with the softest sheets ever and the plushest comforter and blankets. satin pillowcases you brought in <3 abby religiously washes her bedding, so it cycles from black to pink to blue every three weeks. the bedroom walls are also covered in art prints and wall hangings, but all of these were picked by the both of you. a lot of it is thrifted or bought from local artists, bc you absolutely drag abby to local craft fairs and the like <3 that chest at the end of the bed holds spare bedding and ,,,, other things ,,,, it is locked. on the wall between the doors to the bathroom and closet is a huge standing mirror, and underneath it is a small table and area for you to do your makeup. gives you top tier fit pics, it is also the mirror abby uses for ,,,, other things. it also! gives u a perfect look at abby while she's working at her desk. above her desk is a huge wall grid/corkboard that she hangs a bunch of shit on. I forgot to draw them in but she also has more bookshelves on the wall across from the bed, specifically four small-medium ones, separated by a dresser that holds a bunch of spare stuff and some of her workout gear that she uses often enough to keep out of the closet.
ok the fun stuff. books fucking Everywhere!!! and cool dishware that you thrifted when you moved in. the kitchen is so well loved and worn in, bc you two love cooking together. the couch is much the same way, well worn n comfortable as all hell, literally one of your favorite spots in the apartment. ur actual favorite spot? the patio. it's beautiful, covered in plants, always burning incense out there, comfortable seating, a beautiful view of the park across the street. u and abby spend your weekend mornings out there, usually bundled up into one big chair while abby dozes and you read, drinking coffee or tea or your preferred morning beverage. the apartment smells so good bc candles and incense and abby's rigorous cleaning. her apartment feels like home for the both of you, carefully curated to be a little sanctuary after long days of classes and practices and just general stress.
this is my magnum opus. I have a problem. I will probably speak more on this.

office shenanigans ft. the ginovesi crew:
everyone needs to have their own space but their stuff bleeds over everywhere. ruby has an assortment of forensic journals on nora's desk, luke has a crap ton of microcontrollers hidden in a drawer, trystan ends up doing most of his embassy work there, so he's got like stacks of old mail, printed copies of minutes of meetings and tons of old newspapers piling up in a corner
takeout menus stuck on the bulletin board that is almost never used
broken coffee pot with a half-empty box of instant coffee nobody thinks to refill
lots and lots and lots of charging cables that someone at least trips over it thrice a day
tasteful basketball hoops installed inside the office for some brainstorming action. the windows are kept wide open because collectively everyone has broken or chipped the glass at least once leading to them deciding "maybe we can have the window open" only to have their basketballs yoink off into the street and someone running onto oncoming traffic to fetch it (they never address this issue)
everyone having at least *one* stimulating thing to keep them happy through the day. trystan has several pages of crosswords, nora constantly having to charge her phone (trip over the cables) because she keeps playing online sudoku on company time, ruby has a shelf full of forgotten arts and crafts projects, luke has an impressive collection of headphones and fidget spinners to avoid entertaining a single thought in his head.
mafalda's office being spared from the disaster because she keeps it under lock and key
them trying to break said lock because she has a giant computer screen optimal for watching movies
them unsuccessfully attempting that because mafalda has a bunch of alarms and also because she ends up catching them in the act marathoning the lotr trilogy (upon luke's request)
a coat rack that isn't used for hanging coats and instead acts as a pole to tie up a clothesline to hang important pictures relevant to their cases (sticking it to the wall ends up chipping off parts of the paint and they had to learn it the hard way)
them spending more time in sam's coffee shop down the street than at the agency and single-handedly helping her fund her college studies
silver the dog being a menace to society and them having to build a corner for her but she ends up chewing on the pencils anyway
a closet that was meant to hold boxes of archives, spare clothes and old furniture being an optimal place to nap (they're always sleep deprived) to the point where luke ends up throwing towels, stealing the bedsheets and pillows so nobody takes his place.
ruby regularly visiting the agency for lunch - not because she cares for her friends but she wants to get to the closet before anyone else can
them trying to break through a case literally like - nora laid down on the floor with her laptop balancing on her knees, going through information; trystan on nora's chair, playing tetris on her phone, luke sitting on his desk because he just cannot with the chairs and ruby joining them hours and hours later with sustenance and moral support ("the fuck is wrong with you guys")
luke stealing nora's sheets of papers
nora stealing ruby's stationery
trystan pocketing luke's assortment of pens (nora's pens) not on purpose, but he just forgets to put it back and carries it home in his pocket.
ruby making several provision runs while visiting the guys from her lab, just taking commonplace books and highlighters, promising to return it back and never doing it (which eventually gets stolen by nora)
wars fought over who gets their turn on the printer before trystan just goes "f it" and is prepared to drive 20 minutes to the nearest copy shop. nora having to change her printer's password, only for luke to crack it in 10 seconds
nearly killing each other over frustrations over the slow internet and everyone unanimously blaming luke
the office becoming a giant dumpyard for them to get trinkets from home and leaving it there (luke's nerf gun that he brought out as a joke, keeps gathering dust; ruby leaving tote bags everywhere, a drawer specifically in trystan's name to keep all of his jewelry and nora getting packs and packs of sunflower seeds as a snack but forgetting it and now she has a box full of expired snacks; even mafalda to an extent with forgotten water bottles, mason jars etc)

Hi! Can I make a request for headcanons on sharing an apartment with eddie munson?
sharing an apartment with eddie hcs
man oh man he loves knick knacks
he has so many little trinkets and he has an emotional attachment to all of them
so it’s safe to say they are present and will be on display
your common living space is 100% a mixture of the two of your styles
you guys have so much fun decorating
also hes a serial redecorator im not kidding
3am and you hear a bunch of banging and sliding so you walk out of your room to find eddie, disheveled, and all your furniture in a new spot
he cooks for you
theres always fresh coffee when you wake up
you guys have lots of pillows and blankets and i imagine a very comfy and homey vibe
always fighting over the tv remote
if the tv isnt on he’s playing his favorite record
lots of late nights cuddled up on the couch together
eddie’s definitely a surface cleaner
does not understand “deep clean”
will shove everything into a cabinet and if it’s not in plain sight, to him that means clean
leaves post notes for you to find on the bathroom mirror
saying things like “hey hot stuff” and “accidentally used your toothbrush srry :/”
knocks on your bedroom with completely unnecessary strength
scares the shit out of you everytime
you guys go grocery shopping together
he sucks at it
he gets the fun stuff while you make sure you have basic survival needs
eddie: look i got beer, potato chips, and a new bottle opener
you: awesome :D *as you put toilet paper, vegetables, and a case of water in the cart*
eddie keeps lots of books and games and vhs tapes around for your guys’ enjoyment
slides notes under your bedroom door
steals your socks out of the fresh laundry basket
god he hates doing laundry
he likes looking at and smelling your fancy shower products and skincare
because he has about 3 manly smelling products that he uses, all of which he grabbed without reading the labels
you guys cook dinner together
he’s always cutting recipes out of the newspaper and magazines for you guys to try
you build a funky little magnet collection on your fridge
you take a polaroid of everyone who visits snd hang them in the entryway
you guys live together very well
there really arent ever any issues and if there are he’s very easy to solve them with
living with him is just so fun and interesting and you literally wouldn’t have it any other way
your apartment is your little sanctuary and you both cherish it very much

one more post for the night while im eating dinner. i had a moment of coherent thought yesterday so. office headcanons for some various characters. have fun add on etc ‼
kristoph: fancy rolling chair on his side, desk. one nice but not as nice chair on the other. another can be brought in if needed. very sparsely decorated, but ornate. has a photo of vongole, a few travel trinkets. degree, a well hidden photo of their younger self with klavier, some books. school counselor-core if that makes sense..
blackquill: desk in center of room. big window for taka + her perch. he has a couch (naptime) and coffee table in his office, the table usually has whatever he's reading.. couch usually has his stuff on it. (prefers to meet with clients somewhere else) has shelves behind his desk, overstuffed and chaotic with tons of sentimental items, photos etc. people (athena) totally will hide things in there and wait for him to notice. i think he'd have blackout curtains but doesn't use them often because of taka.
nahyuta: not very decorated at first, but had some nice curtains/drapery put up, and burns incense for comfort. eventually did get roped into collecting momentos, and changing the basic office around. has a spare chair for others, but made empty space for prayer and meditation. i think they have fake plants since they're in and out of japanifornia a lot. like fake vines. doesn't trust anyone to take care of them so.. fake.
klavier: i feel like he either has the most basic office (working remote). or think like. the animal crossing sleek series. most definitely has LED strips up in the office to everyone's dismay. would rather die than use overhead lighting. also i think he has soundproofing pads on the walls. (also one of my roommates brought up those hexagon lights. they're right.)
also i think the WAA has a very open workspace, instead of offices. everyone there is neurodivergent.. i can't see offices working. people just work literally wherever. i cant be bothered to double check this one but i know in my heart even if there Are offices.. they aren't being used

surprised i havent asked this yet, considering the odd variety of vb questions i do ask! but what would the vb au characters dream house have/be like? - space :)
aksjdkfh i don't think about houses and stuff enough to feel like i have good answers for u but here are some general thoughts for some of them:
kurt: the boy loves being in nyc and therefore could not afford his dream apartment bc he has expensive taste but generally he'd want a spacious apartment with lots of storage space for clothes and trinkets etc. obviously it's not sth he can realistically have just yet but he cares more about making his living space feel homey and somewhat fancy, and he has a gift for making even the cheapest, crappiest furniture/apartment feel expensive
finn: he just wants a nice, quiet place to live :) mist suggested some kind of a suburban family home and i think that works really well for him! idk if he'd see himself having a large family but he'd certainly want guest rooms for his parents, kurt, and santana. and a big yard for his dogs
santana: i picture santana wanting to stay in a big city and preferring an apartment over a house because she doesn't feel like she needs that much space and she's used to travelling a lot for vb. but similar to finn, she'd wanna make sure she always has at least one extra room available for her boys so she wouldn't love a really small apartment
britt: def dreams of a place with a nice terrace for stargazing! a very big priority for her! the other thing is that britt has more niche interests than the rest of the squad so i could see her opting for something a bit more unusual architecture-wise. part of me feels like she might be down for a victorian-style house but then again i also think she'd want a place that feels more open and bright
quinn: i can see her being an avid reader tbh. she sure is busy and doesn't have as much time as she'd like to read but she would love a room full of bookshelves. like floor-to-ceiling built-in bookshelves with a large variety of books

Saiouma fluff alphabet
I am aware this concept is usually used for one person. I wanted to try this.
(Non-despair highschool AU)
A round - How often are they around each other?
Let’s all be honest, Kokichi is very clingy. He will follow Shuichi around a lot. Shuichi honestly doesn’t mind all too much. Maki and Kaito, though, are very annoyed by it.  
B eauty - What do they admire about each other? What do they think is beautiful about the other?
When they first met, Kokichi liked how cute Shuichi was. Nowadays, while Kokichi still sees his Queen as one of if not the cutest things in the universe, he also now loves how loyal, hardworking, and sweet he is. 
Shuichi, at first, was drawn to Kokichi because he was interesting. Like a puzzle. Since then, he’s gotten quite fond of how cuddly, affectionate, silly, and outgoing he is.
C uddles - Favorite cuddling position
They honestly have a couple:
Spooning-
Tumblr media
This type of cuddling is especially good when one of them has a bad day. It provides a sense of protection for the receiver and the giver feels important and gets the chance to hold what is one of the most important things to them in their arms
Sweat heart’s cradle-
Tumblr media
They usually prefer this over spooning because they get to see each other. Usually, Kokichi is the one on Shuichi’s chest. However, this doesn’t mean he’s opposed to the over way around. They’re close, comfortable, and warm. 
Honeymoon hug-
Tumblr media
I can’t tell if they prefer this or the Sweat heart’s cradle on a day-to-day basis. They love just wrapping their arms around each other. Ideal kissing angle. 
D reams - How do they picture their future with each other?
Kokichi-
Is not the type to enter a relationship planning to only last a short period of time. No, he fully plans to live the rest of his life with Shuichi. He would love it if Shuichi joined DICE. (All of the members call him “Queen” already, so he already has a codename (if he wants another alias, he can get one but Kokichi isn’t the happiest about it))
Shuichi- 
Just like Kokichi, Shuichi doesn’t like short-term things. He also plans to go far with Kokichi. 
E dible- Do they cook for each other? Is it good?
Kokichi isn’t good with recipes that are super precise. He needs room to mess up. However, with creative recipes like soup, fried rice, or smoothies, he is pretty good. He picked up almost all his skills from DICE. Particularly 10 who was the Jr Ultimate Cook. 
Shuichi honestly does most of the cooking. He can’t do complex stuff but he’s more precise than his partner. He also got a couple tips (particularly about what Kokichi likes) from 10. 
They bake sweets together sometimes.
F ight - Would they be easy for them to forgive each other? How are they fighting?
Usually, they talk things out before they get into “Fighting” territory. However, like any couple, they’ve had their fights. Usually, fights happen when one of them is tired. Mostly about things like Kokichi taking a prank too far or Suichi’s habit of overworking. Screaming matches tend to be quite short and afterwords they talk and cuddle it out or they give each other space. The longest they’ve stayed genuinely mad is 3 days and the longest they’ve been apart for is a week. One time, they were having a hard time talking even after neither of them were mad. Eventually, their friends got tired of it and locked them in a room together till they talked. (classic)  
G iving - What are the things they would give each other?
Kokichi: Random trinkets he or DICE made like bracelets, paintings, etc. food he makes. Books. 
Shuichi: Anything he thinks he’d like. Panta, stuffies, sweets, etc.
H onesty - Do they have secrets they hide from each other? Or do they share everything?
At first, they kept a lot of secrets. Especially the gremlin. As the relationship progressed, they began to open up. There are still things they don’t always tell each other but they are not super big things. Usually. Every now and then they will be in a situation where one of them has something on their mind but doesn’t know how to talk about it, they usually talk it out.
I nspiration - Did they change each other? Like trying out new things or helping them overcome personal problems?
Definitely. Kokichi helped Shuichi become more confident and helped him let loose. Taught him how to take risks. Shuichi helped Kokichi open up. He gave him a sense of security that eventually allowed him to come out from behind the mask of lies. 
J ealousy - Do they get jealous easily? How do they deal with it?
Shuichi- 3/10 Doesn’t get jealous easily. You’d think with how anxious he is, he would get worried about Kokichi finding someone else. And while he can sometimes, Kokichi is way too attached to him to let it fester. There have been times when him getting jealous is a problem, but again, arguments between them are usually dealt with quickly.
Kokichi - Solid 5/10 with jealousy. He tries to not smother his boyfriend too much and understands he needs to spend time with other people. Not only that but he and Shuichi are really close a lot of the time so he doesn’t worry too often but also. However, he has abandonment issues, so, especially after a particularly bad day, he can be a little insecure.
K iss - Are they a good kisser? What was the first kiss like?
With Kokichi, kisses usually tend to be quick, small pecks all over mostly peppered on Shuichi’s face. He also loves kissing Shuichi’s hand. Especially while looking him directly in the eye. Shuichi is usually slightly less casual when it comes to kisses. His kisses are sweet, passionate, and a little shy/inexperienced at first. He’s following his instincts, trying his best to express his love without COMBUSTING.
L ove language- What is their love language?
Kokichi: Quality time and physical affection. He is in general a very affectionate person, but he finds it best when he gets alot of time to just hang out and shower Shuichi in affection. Most of that affection comes in the form of hugs and kisses. Will smuggle Shuichi like a koala. No, there is no way out of it. 
Shuichi: Acts of service. He enjoys doing things for people. What else do I say?   
M arriage - Do they want to get married? How do they propose? What would the marriage be like?
I mentioned before that neither of them would get into a relationship thinking it wouldn’t last. They would ABSOLUTELY want to get married. 
N icknames - What do they call each other?
Kokich for Shuichi: Shumai, Saihara-chan, Beloved, Love, Sweetheart, Shu(-chan), my prince, my queen
Shuichi for Kokichi: Kichi, Kimchi, Kichi-ko, my prince, my liege
O n Cloud Nine - What are they like when they are in love? Is it obvious for others? How do they express their feelings?
Kokichi is sweet, affectionate, clingy, and silly. Shuichi is silly (or at least more silly than with others,), affectionate, and sweet
P DA - Are they upfront about their relationship? Do they brag about eachother in front of others? Or are they rather shy to kiss etc. when others are watching?
Kokichi: Very upfront about it. He loves flaunting the fact he has the best boyfriend in the universe. (With his consent of course)
Shuichi: Alot more quiet about it. He doesn’t initiate PDA alot, he is also really nervous about it in general, but he doesn’t hate how affectionate Kokichi is.
Q uirk - Some random ability they have that’s beneficial in a relationship.
Kokichi: Very good at sensing the emotions around him. (but also bad at acting on it sometimes.)
Shuichi: Tries to learn anything he can about Kokichi. (within reason so as to not make him creeped out.) Learns to know him almost like the back of his hand.
R omance - How romantic are they? What would they do to make eachother happy? Cliché or rather creative?
Usually, Kokichi tries to avoid being too cliche. Most of the time the romance from him is cuddling and pulling him away from work, dodging responsibilities to just chill.
Romantic moments from Shuichi tend to be quite domestic in nature. Baking, movie nights, cuddles, things like that. He just wants Kokichi to have fun.
S ongs - What songs do they listen to together?
They have a few playlists… some common songs are “I do adore” (Kokichi’s request) and “Keep your head up, Princess” (Shuichi’s request)
T radition - What traditions do they have that they do without fail
Visiting family every other week, having Movie night at least 2x a month, and baking together
U nderstanding - How well do they know their partner? Are they empathetic?
They are both pretty good at telling something is wrong. However, they can both have their… awkward moments
V alue - How important is the relationship to them? What is it worth in comparison to other things in their life?
Kokichi: Very. He would do ANYTHING for Shuichi, logic be damned. 100% has abandonment issues. 
Shuichi: Although less extreme than Kokichi, he values their relationship over alot of if not everything. 
W ild Card - A random Fluff Headcanon.
Kokichi definitely steals Shuichi's hat.
X OXO - Are they very affectionate? Do they love to kiss and cuddle?
Kokichi: YES. This boy is so affectionate, especially when he’s tired or upset. Very clingy (runs in the family, his sister is the same and he finally understands why now.) If he wants cuddles, he is GETTING cuddles. 
Shuichi: Will gladly receive it 97% of the time, but a bit more reserved with giving it. Usually, Kokichi can tell when he needs it so he doesn’t have to initiate anything, which is something that has never been a problem for either of them. 
Y earning - How will they cope when they’re missing their partner?
Kokichi: Attempting to distract himself by bothering someone or hanging with DICE (which technically counts as bothering someone, but they are less bothered. And 9 and 10 will take any chance to play with him, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯), Wearing Shuichi’s clothes, Hugging pillows, Making something for Shuichi, looking at photos
Shuichi: Looking at photos/videos, daydreaming, watching his favorite movie, hanging w/ DICE 
Z eal - Are they willing to go to great lengths for the relationship? If so, what kind of?
Kokichi: Will do everything under the sun and more with the one exception of hurting DICE. 
Shuichi: Whatever makes them happy as long as it is reciprocated. (Not one-sided)

the gaang & fire nation girls + decorative sensibilities? (like how they arrange their living space & decorate it and so forth---furniture styles & color palettes they like, stance on shag rugs, etc) canon or modern au!
okay I answered it for modern au here and since that’s basically just a take on their personalities with more (relatable/contemporary) options, im gonna try to answer this question now with avatar worldbuilding in mind (obviously this is all postwar since kids have basically no say in their living spaces lol)
aang is a nomadic monk. as we see from flashbacks, his childhood bedroom was pretty sparse. if he lives anywhere it’s on appa. that said, he has a lot of opinions on his friends’ interior design choices. especially zuko’s. he keeps insisting that zuko needs to declutter his bedroom & office and open the curtains so as to get some natural light in. zuko does no such thing.
katara’s bedroom is very comfortable and inviting, full of furs and rugs and warmth. everyone feels at home the second they enter it. for this reason among many others, hakoda worries about boys feeling a bit too invited, which is a concern of his that they fight over often. “oh i saved the world but you don’t trust me to be alone with a boy???!?!??” (sokka refuses to get involved in this squabble, but he secretly thinks that his dad makes some fair points.)
sokka loves collecting material possessions from all over the world, whether it be weapons, maps, books, weird hats, fake beards, etc. he also keeps very detailed scrolls sorted by date in a rack under his desk, and his desk is lined with all sorts of little trinkets, many of which are just little statues toph made for him. his bedroom and his office can only be described as organized chaos. he has so much stuff, but rest assured, he has a system for all of it, and if anyone moves anything out of place he will know and freak out about it.
toph likes to keep things sparse. she doesn’t like ostentation or anything fancy—her prized possession is a lump of leftover meteorite sokka gave her. if she had it her way, she’d live in shrek’s swamp hovel. and by the time she’s an old lady, that’s exactly what she does.
like sokka, zuko loves clutter, but unlike sokka, it has little to do with the items he possesses, and more that zuko simply cannot stand negative space. rooms that are too bare and bright and large make zuko feel exposed and anxious. despite being the firelord, he finds the smallest bedroom and office available in the palace and uses those, to pretty much everyone’s confusion. but that’s how he likes it. cramped and dark and safe.
suki’s house on kyoshi island is cute and homey. she keeps her weapons and uniform displayed on the wall when she’s not using them, and hangs up art and letters from her friends, and keeps flowers in little pots on her desk. her biggest problem is that she absolutely hates cleaning and is therefore always trying to cajole other people into doing it for her. she’s lucky that she doesn’t even need to ask sokka because he hates mess so much he’ll just start cleaning unprompted, but for most of the year when he’s not on kyoshi island, she tries to goad the other kyoshi warriors into bets wherein the loser has to clean the winner’s apartment. since they are all extremely competitive, they always take the bait, and that’s how her house stays clean :)
once they move in together, ty lee and mai compromise on a tasteful pink and black colorscheme, decorated with the weirdest art they can possibly find, as well as their friends’ art, and their own. their favorite piece of decor is a one of a kind tapestry by a kyoshi island artisan depicting the tragic history of avatar kuruk* and his futile battle against malevolent spirits. even their cats recognize that this is a prized possession, and never attempt to scratch or bite it. (*while ty lee is more of a kyoshi and yangchen girlie herself, kuruk is mai’s favorite avatar because he helps prove her theory that “sexy people suffer the most.”)
azula doesn’t like keeping anything other than necessities. opulence isn’t necessary if you truly have nothing to prove, and sentimental keepsakes are a display of weakness. eventually, she starts decorating her space with more of her own art (mostly ceramics, and some watercolors), as well as some sculptures by toph, and a portrait of her and zuko as children that she finds in the attic of the ember island house. she takes the advice aang gives that zuko refuses to follow and opens the curtains wide. rather than feeling as if she is being watched, she enjoys being able to look out at the world. and besides, if she feels exposed, it doesn’t matter; she has nothing to prove.

hihi, can i request driving with gojo, yuji, and megumi in the rain
Driving in the Rain with Jujutsu Kaisen characters!
Characters: Satoru Gojo, Yuji Itadori, Megumi Fushiguro
A/n: ofc! ૮₍ ˃ ⤙ ˂ ₎ა
Warnings: food in the Gojo’s first one
Requests: open
Tumblr media
Satoru Gojo
For Satoru and you, taking a drive after dinner is a weekly occurrence. It’s also a perfect time to grab some dessert, especially since Gojo has a sweet tooth. Because of rainy weather, you two opted for some freshly baked Banana bread and Coffee from the bakery… with Gojo having a copious amount of sugar and cream in his. He can’t stand the taste of bitter coffee.
Even if it’s no where near Halloween, he’s taking the opportunity to tell you scary stories, albeit corny ones as well. The fog, the dreary sky with no sun, and only the sound of rain - what doesn’t make this the perfect environment for spookiness? “There once was a couple driving in the rain on a spooky night like this…” “Satoru, Not again🤨” In the end, you two end up in playful banter with him claiming that you’re a scaredy cat. Bring up how he clung onto you at the haunted house and it’s over for him.
You’re in charge of the heat and he’s in charge of the music. I have a feeling that Gojo is really sensitive to heat and cold. A little too cold and somehow he thinks he’s going to turn into an ice cube. In the car, he’s likes to play your favorite songs or songs that the both of you enjoy. He’s singing at the top of his lungs and rooting for you when you do. The car in the next lane at the red light are looking at you with wide eyes, though LOL
If you ever look like you’re close to falling asleep because of the pitter patter of the rain and the motion of the car, He’s sure to stop somewhere and help you get a little more comfortable. He doesn’t want you waking up with a sore neck so he’s willing to give you his pusheen neck pillow he has lying around his car. I headcanon that Gojo keeps a lot of trinkets and oddly useful stuff. He probably has a Fanny pack too.
Yuji Itadori
He gets stars in his eyes when you tell him that you want to go on a drive in the rain. “Like a mini adventure, right baby?” Yes, Yuji. His enthusiasm even persists during the car ride when he points out the most random things that he’s awestruck by. The windows are covered in beads of water so it’s a slightly difficult to see it, though.
During a few stop lights, he’s sure to give you some kisses on the cheek. Physical affection doesn’t stop there though because he also holds you hand with one of his. He does this thing where he picks up your intertwined hands and kisses your hand. When asked where all this affection is coming from, he lies in embarrassment and says that it’s the cozy weather’s doing. In reality, he’s so smitten for you.
While driving, you two decide to make small stops to places that catches your eyes. Whether that be the convenience store, crane machine arcades, or the passing sight seeing places. You end up with a stuff animal and a few bags of clothing which Yuji happily carried for you. Don’t tell Nobara, though. Yuji almost slipped in a puddle when you two ran to the convenience store but it was all worth it.
When the rain lessens, you two end your night at the drive-in theater. There’s not really much space so Yuji tries his best to recline and move back his seat so you can cuddle on his lap with your new stuffed animal.
Megumi Fushiguro
Due to the rain, there’s so much preparation that goes in. Blankets? Check. Y/n wrapped in a giant hoodie AND jacket? Also check. He’s making sure his s/o is all snug and warm in this cold weather. There’s no getting past him with just your long sleeve and sweats 😤
He also temporarily summons his demon dogs for the beginning of the car ride. They like laying on top of the folded blankets. It’s such a cute sight to see and it feels so much like home. If your hand is resting on the middle glove box between you and megumi, they sometimes get up to nuzzle their face to you. Though, when it starts thundering, they get scared :(
There’s a lot of talking that goes on. Megumi loves nothing more than to spend time with you and hear your voice. You could talk about the latest episode of your favorite show and he’d still attentively listen even though he has no idea what’s going on. He’s also fine with the comfortable silence every now and then because your presence is enough to soothe him.
Not once did he mention this but he and Yuji went to out to buy a Necklace for you last Saturday. He was planning to give it to you on the way back home. However, He was literally breaking out in a nervous sweat that you were seriously concerned if he caught a cold. As he slowly came to a stop in the driveway, he blurted out that he loved you. It was an awkwardly sweet moment.

Xiao x reader
!Angst Warning!
Slowly and gently, I can see how he tucks the loose lock of her hair to her ear. I can also see how she blushes at his gentle gesture. A small barely noticeable smile on his lips. I clench my fist tightly, I feel the Qingxin flower's stem crushed in my palm. I want to walk away from the irritating scene, but my feet are rooted on the ground. As if some force prevented me too.
It took all my willpower to tear my sight from them. "Xiao…" I whispered to the wind, hoping he would notice. But alas, the harsh reality proved otherwise.
10 years. It took me ten years to befriend the so-called vigilant yaksha. The only remaining yaksha. The yaksha which is said to be the coldest amongst all of the adepti in Liyue.
I met Xiao when I was 6 years old. I was lost in a forest near Liyue harbor. I remember Granny Ping said to call Adeptus Xiao if I ever had any trouble. So with a snotty nose, I wail out his name. A gust of gentle breeze blows before a tall big brother (at that time) in teal arrived. He frowns at me. I still remember my hand, which was full of snot and tears, grabbed his long sleeves and cried to it, effectively soiling the pristine cloth.
He almost flung me instinctively, but I know how hard I grabbed it and I am still a Liyue citizen. Xiao kneeled and with an awkward pat on my head, he lifted me up easily. Without a word, he jumps high. I can still vividly remember the breeze blowing my face. I stopped crying immediately and realized how high we were.
Tears were replaced with small giggles. From the position we were, I found my parents shouting my name. "Papa and mama." I leaned my body, wriggling out of his arms.
"Don't move." That was the first time I heard his voice. It's so beautiful that I shut up immediately. Xiao maneuvered and landed near to my worried parents.
"Mama, Papa!" I rushed to them right after Xiao put me down. My mother quickly hugs me tight, afraid if I were to disappear again.
"Where were you?! Do you know how worried we were?!" Papa scolded.
"But Papa, Adeptus Xiao took me home." I wriggled out from my mother's embrace and looked behind me, only to find empty space.
"Adeptus Xiao was with you?" Papa asked bewildered.
"Yep. Granny Ping told me to call for Adeptus Xiao if I had trouble. I did and he came. He jumped so high and I could see you." I excitedly told them my tale.
Not long after, I finally found out not many people can meet the elusive Adeptus. But I was determined to meet him again. To thank him and befriend him.
So, I ask the most knowledgeable person in this world, Granny Ping. Granny Ping told me that Qingxin is his flower. I want to pick one, but it only blooms in high peaks which is impossible for me. So, the next best thing is buying from a florist. Granny Ping also told me where to give the flower. Wangshu inn. Thus, I made it my mission to go there everyday to give him a Qingxin flower.
In Wangshu inn. As expected, I couldn't meet Xiao, instead I met the owner. Verr Goldet. After hearing my reasoning to visit the elusive Adeptus. She told me to put the flower on the balcony on the highest floor. I will stay there for hours without meeting him. And I do this everyday for almost a month.
Maybe Verr was taking pity on me. She told me to help her deliver a plate of Almond tofu to Xiao. And thus, our second meeting. I was so excited that I almost fell flat smashing the tofu to the floor if not for his fast reflex.
Xiao frowns when he sees me. "Adeptus Xiao, thank you." I smiled as I gave him the flower.
"Don't come close to me." He frowned.
"But, I want to." I shook my head. "Granny Ping told me you have protected us. I want to thank you." I pouted.
"...I am just doing my job according to the contract. I don't need any thanks." He said.
"Even so, I want to thank you." I said persistently.
I think that was the time he gave up explaining to a small naive kid. From that day on, I meet him everyday with a Qingxin flower and a plate of almond tofu. Of course, I still have to call him or else he won't show up even with almond tofu.
After a year, he softened up a bit. At least, I don't need to wait for him on the balcony. He will always be there by the time I reach the balcony with a flower and a plate of almond tofu. Another year and I can even manage to slip a Qingxin flower to his hair. And the second year of our meeting is truly the start of my happiness. Xiao gave me a small trinket made from sage technique to ward off evil. Every year following that on my birthday the small trinket will increase, a crystalfly, a leaf butterfly, you name it. And last year, he gave me an amulet. The amulet I have never taken it off since I wore it on my birthday.
In exchange I too, so persistently celebrate his birthday, since he won't tell me when is his birthday, I just mark the date we met is his birthday, not until a few years later he finally grumpily told me his real birthday.
I started learning martial arts and cooking courtesy from Xiao for the former and Smiley Yan for the latter.
10 years of hardwork, 9 years of nurturing feelings, all of them have gone to the drain. With just one appearance of this girl. No, she is not a traveller with a fairy. She is just someone from Qingce village. Xiao met her when he was patrolling around the area. Just in a month she undone all my hardwork. Now they are a step away from being lovers.
I made my way back home. For the first time in 10 years, I didn't go to Wangshu inn, no I didn't go to meet him. A fresh Qingxin I have picked and a plate of almond tofu are laid forgotten on the table. Fresh tears finally flowed down from my eyes. It hurts. It hurts so much looking at them. It hurts so much seeing him smile at them. The smile that I thought only I could see.
'It's not yours anymore.' A sickly sweet voice whispered
'He is finally happy. He finally rid himself of you. You are just a worthless girl. You don't deserve him.'
'The love of his life is not you. It will never be you.' The sickly sweet voice cackled gleefully.
That night I succumbed to the negative emotion of mine.
The next day, I resolved to investigate that girl. I have realized I am not good enough for him. That's why I want to make sure she is good enough for him.
'You just want to make yourself better if you find a flaw in her. What a liar.' The voice back in my mind echoed.
I shake myself, trying to get rid of those voices. First, I will obviously start from Liyue. I heard her parents are doing business in Liyue and she sometimes tags along. And today, she didn't come. Perfect. I have double checked in her parents' shop.
But every answer I get from them lowers my spirit. In the end, I can only summarize her in one word. Perfect. She is so perfect. All of the people I ask from will sing a praise to her. It's almost impossible for a perfect human like her to exist. But she is, and now she could even open the vigilant yaksha's heart in the span of a month.
To clear my head and the annoying voices in my head, I make my way to the secret place I have found a few years back. Inside the forest where I first met Xiao, there is a small patch of Qingxin flower field deep inside the forest. Qingxin flower, which is said to only bloom in the highest peak, somehow can grow in that patch and only that patch. The area around it is also safe from hillicurls or slime. Xiao said he never detected any malicious intent around the small field. Thus, that area became our secret spot.
Either Celestia likes to mess with me or I am just that unlucky, I met the perfect girl. She is surrounded by hillicurls. I frowned, I materialized my weapon and took a step.
'Why don't you just leave her alone. She is powerless. If the Hillicurls get her killed, then no one will be with your precious Xiao again. You can have him all by yourself.' The sickly sweet voice is tempting me with that.
I stop dead in my tracks. Indeed, If she is dead, then Xiao will have no one but me. It will be just the two of us again. I take a step back and turn myself.
'Good. This is what you should do.' The voice cooed.
"Kyaaa!!"
I grit my teeth and spring back to act. I rush to the group of hillicurls, which fortunately just 3 of them. I swipe their feet using my polearm. "Run!" I barked at her. She flinches at my harsh glare and voice, but finally starts running.
I quickly engaged with 3 hillicurls. I am not a pro, but Xiao taught me enough to defend myself. I panted after I finished the last hillicurls. I am just glad I didn't get any deep injury. "Kikiki!" A small fireball flew past me.
I cursed my luck. A pyro abyss mage is waving his staff and 3 small monster heads are firing flamethrowers at me. I barely dodge it. "Kikiki!" Then another cyro abyss mage comes out.
I gulp. This place might be my grave after all.
*3rd POV*
Yue Mei is just picking herbs by herself. She giggles at the thought of the famous vigilant yaksha literally swept by her feet in their first meeting. She fell in love at the first sight. She glanced at a charm on her neck. She is really grateful for this charm. She made a wish a year ago in an adepti abode. And that adeptus gave her this charm. She is told to wear this everyday, everywhere she goes. This charm will help her.
True to his word, after she had worn this charm. Everyone has become nicer. They gave her a lot of free stuff and some even started to court her. She was shy at first, the attention she got was really overwhelming. But, she already has an ideal man. A man who is strong and handsome. And her ideal man turned out to be Adeptus Xiao.
She blushes again remembering him. Their last meeting ends up with Adeptus Xiao tucked her hair back to her ear. This intimate gesture is really making her happy. Soon, she will confess to him soon. And they will become a couple.
But, her daydream is short lived. A group of hillicurls suddenly appear and surround her. Fear gripped her entire being. "A...ade...adept…" She is too afraid to even call the yaksha. One of the hillucurls raises its club high. "Don….'t… Kyaaaa!!!!" She let out a blood curdling scream as she closed her eyes.
But the pain didn't come. When she opened her eyes she saw the hillicurls on the ground and a girl wielding a polearm glared at her with such hostility. "Run!" She barked at her. Yue Mei flinches at her harsh tone. But her feet finally gained their freedom as she ran away to the direction of Wangshu inn.
Her feet are tired and trembling. She collapses on her knees. "Adeptus Xiao." She whimpered. A familiar breeze whirled, and Xiao came. Looking at the trembling form, Xiao frowns, "What happened?" He kneeled in front of her.
"Hi...Hillicurls…" She managed to stutter.
He hisses, knowing those monsters targeted someone under his protection. "Where are they?"
"There…" She pointed to a direction. "A girl...wielding...polearm...is...holding them...off…" She said shakily. The entire time she clutched her charm.
"A girl… wielding polearm…" His eyes widened. A girl wielding a polearm. The only one that comes to his mind is "[Your Name]..." He whispered. Somehow his mind becomes clear, as if the fog in his mind has been blown away. Xiao quickly summons his own spear.
"Don't!!!" Yue Mei quickly grabbed his hand. "Don't...leave...me alone." Tears streamed down her eyes, making her look so pitiful. This usually invokes some kind of protective instinct from the opposite gender. But, unfortunately for her. She is dealing with this the one and only Conqueror of Demons. Now the spell has been broken, he is not as nice as previous him except to a certain mortal.
"Release me!" He growled as he glared at her, more specifically at her charm.
She flinches at his harsh tone and glare. She stares at him wide eyed. He never used this kind of tone with her, not even on their first meeting. Her hands loosen up. And Xiao quickly disappears from her, leaving her all alone.
Xiao rushes to the direction that the girl pointed to. His mind is racing with what ifs. He finally arrived, but [Your Name] is not on sight. There are only 3 dead bodies of Hillicurls. He calms down a bit. She can handle herself just fine if it's only 3 Hillicurls. But, when he observed more carefully once again, his blood ran cold. Not far from him, a puddle of red blood is spotted, along with two dead abyss mages.
His heart thumped loudly, looking at the trail of blood moving to a certain direction. To the direction he is so familiar. His mind starts racing with a really unpleasant outcome.
"~~~♪ ~~~ ♪" The wind brought a familiar tune.
"...Xiao...where are you…?" He heard it. Her voice. But her voice is so weak, like she will disappear forever. Xiao has never rushed this fast. Right now in his mind, there's only she has to be alright.
*1st Pov*
"Hah...haah…" I panted as I stabbed my polearm to the ground, using it to stabilize my body. The puddle of blood on the ground beneath me is proof it's too late for me. 'If I were to die… At least let me choose the place.' With that in mind, I dragged my feet to our secret spot no, my grave. The small patch of Qingxin flowers.
I drop my body in the middle of the patch, hissing from the pain. But the smell of Qingxin is calming me down. It feels like Xiao is with me.
"~~~♪ ~~~ ♪" with my shaky voice, I started humming a tune. This song is passed down from generation to generation in our house. Apparently this song is some kind of a prayer back in the ancient times. My eyes are blurry now being soaked by blood. "...Xiao...where are you…?" I couldn't see anymore. I reach out my hand, hoping he will grab it. Then a miracle happened. I can see Xiao grabs my hand and pulls me up. I can feel the pain has started to dull and then disappeared, I feel so light, so free. I can see him clearly. Hand in hand the two of us wander to wherever we desire.
"Thank you for coming." I smiled.

General bayverse headcanons part 2
Splinter
A very light sleeper
Anytime something happens in the lair, he knows
He knows so many of his son’s secrets but act as if he didn’t to protect their feelings
Like that one time he saw Leo flex in front of his mirror (he never did it again because ‘what if it was Raph or Mikey’)
Or that one time he went to ask Donnie a question and realized too late he was having some... alone time... and Donnie tried to play it off to save what was left of his dignity: “haha no I’m not doing anything, I’m fine, how can I help you?” but left a tab open
Let’s just say Splinter knows way more about his sons than he wish he did
He feels honored every time one of them, or hell, April or Casey, come to him for advice or just to vent
He’s jsut so happy to know they trust him
He loves watching movies with them
Doesn’t really understand pop culture but is thrilled when they take the time to explain it to him anyway
He keeps every single drawing Mikey ever made him, he has multiple boxes of them and he keeps his favorite in his room
It takes so much space, but they’re really important to him
Raph made him a really soft scarf that he wears every time they go to the surface (it reassures him)
He also has a sweater and a blanket, and he loves bragging about them: “Oh, this? Yes, my son made it for me :) Isn’t he talented :)”
He finds Donnie’s smarts both impressive and intimidating
Sometimes he’s scared he will never truly understand him or that he won’t have anything else to teach him
But then Donnie comes to him when he can’t sleep or had a nightmare, and he feels warm inside
He’s really scared for Leo
He has so much pressure on his shoulder and so many responsabilities, he’s terrified he will break someday
But Leo knows he can count on his family to support him if anything turns sour and is learning to open up (thanks to Splinter)
All in all, he’s the proudest dad there could be and definitely bragged and showed embarassing memories to April and Casey when they joined the mutants
His favorite animal is the canary
April
Mom Friend ™ 
She’s the one to bring them snacks or useless trinkets they might like
Leo thinks it’s stupid and they should hoard that kind of things
(he does anyway)
She’s also the one to bring medical supplies to the lair when they’re getting short on them
She knows many people because of her job, and comes so often to the pharmacy that the people who work her eknow her and know to not ask too many questions
She doesn’t care about the sight of blood but the smell makes her sick
She still follows Splinter’s instruction when doing stitches and she took a few first aid courses with Casey
She’s the one who takes care of the biggest bugs of the lair
She’s also the one they all go to when they have an embarrassing question to ask (the kind of stuff you’re too embarrassed to ask one of your parents, no matter how close you are)
Doesn’t really listen to anyone, really
Except maybe Splinter from time to time
But like, if she wants to investigate something messy or dangerous, she won’t let anyone stop her
She won’t run straight into danger, she’s not stupid, but she’s not gonna back off just because it might be dangerous
“Okay, April, I’m sorry but you’ll have to sit this one out, it’s way too dangerous for a hum-” “She’s already inside”
 She’s brave like that <3
The best at Just Dance
Even beat Raph from time to time
She has a terrible singing voice tho and loves to scream-sing just because she knows it drives Leo crazy
Sometimes will get picked up by one of the boys and just acts as if nothing hapened and keep talking about whatever the conversation was while being carried around everywhere
Speaks 3 other languages to varying degrees of fluentness: Spanish (fluent), French (still learning but she’s getting there), Arabic (beginner)
She knows insults in a lot of other languages tho (you know, just in case ;) )
The only one who doesn’t pull pranks on Casey (she takes pity on him and he gives her kisses when she takes his side so win-win)
Her favorite animal is the fox
Casey
Pray for him
He’s so fed up with their sibling nonsense
He’s always in the middle of their fights and he’s tired of this
But he’s even more tired of being the victim of their endless pranks (especially Raph and Mikey)
The payback is worth it tho
Surprisingly good with kids
Especially troubled kids (he used to be one, so he knows what to say to help them)
Also really found of small animals
Unlike Mikey who talks to them as equals, Casey baby talks and it’s both adorable and kind of silly
He’s well known in most of the rescue centers of the city because he always brings in stray animals here
Also volunteer in some of them from time to time
He’s really conflicted because of all of the horrible things othe cops do  and he often wants to quit because of that
But if he leaves, he knows no one will try to make a change
He believes he can make things right and tries his best to callout his collegues when they say or do fucked up things
Also completely understand all the hate against cops, and don’t hesitate to let everyone know it’s justified when his colleagues try to play the victim
Despite his anger issues he tries to keep a level head when on the job
He wants to be a good cop, but being a good person is even more important (and almost got him fired multiple times, the only thing keeping him from that being his connection to Chief Vincent)
This is why he’s also doing his vigilante stuff at night
He knows that sometimes, the law won’t protect the most vulnerable people
But that doesn’t mean he shouldn’t
Once accidentally cut himself on the left with a piece of glass
He broke a glass jar, cleaned it up but forgot one little piece, and later stepped on it
It didn’t cut his foot, but he felt something under it and tried to get it off by rubbing his foot against his leg
Hence the stupid cut
Most of his scars aren’t really from his numerous fights, they’re just stupid injuries like that
His favorite animal is the cheetah

Not Your Danny – Ch 1. Moving Day
Phic Phight | Next | FFN | AO3
Submitted by @ecto-american: After Danny’s untimely death, his family and friends turn to Dani for comfort. She was so much like him in every single way. And she never felt more like a clone. A replacement for the “real” thing.
Summary: Maddie and Jack learn a lot of things about their son after his death: his powers, his secret life as the local hero, the truth behind his accident three years ago. And his clone who is so much like their boy. When Dani gets the offer to join their home, she thinks it's too good to be true. And she just might be right.
Word count: 2761
Two weeks after Danny dies, Danielle moves into his bedroom. It's a lacklustre affair. Dani has no belongings to bring with her, except the few trinkets stuffed in the pockets of her shorts. She only owns one pair of clothes, two of you want to be technically and count her ghost form. But that's tenuous at best when you consider the circumstances of her creation, and that her clothes were created withher, not given to her. She doesn't like to think about that too much, though.
Neither of Danny's parents are home for the occasion. Dani doesn't blame them. Her face time with Maddie and Jack Fenton over the past three years equals an hour at most—hour and a half if she really pushes it. And most of that time was with an ectogun between them. If she counts the times where she hasn't been staring down a glowing green barrel, then it's probably only five minutes, maybe less. And that only happened a few days ago.
Suffice to say, Dani and the Fentons don't have a good relationship, or a relationship of any kind. So she doesn't blame them for being out of the house when their dead son's clone, who they only recently found out about, takes over his bedroom. Although take over might be too strong of a phrase.
Dani floats next to Jazz, hovering in front of Danny's open bedroom door.
"Is it... okay?" Jazz asks.
Dani drifts inside, turning her head from side to side as she looks around. She likes the blue walls, and the open brick on the outer wall is kind of cool. The bed, covered in a purple bead spread, topped with a fluffy pillow, looks softer than anything she's ever slept on. The room is nice, if a bit messy with Danny's stuff still inside. Posters decorate the wall, some about space, others from some band called Dumpty Humpy. The shelves are stuffed full of books and model spaceships. His dirty clothes lie next to an open hamper in the corner of the room.
The sight surprises Dani more than anything.
"What are you gonna do with his stuff?" she asks. "Do people usually just," she gestures toward the room, "leave it like this?"
"What? No." Jazz shakes her head and quickly wipe her hand across her eyes. "When someone dies, their family or friends eventually pack their stuff away. Not always right away, though."
"Two weeks isn't long enough?"
Jazz's breath hitches. "Don't– don't say that. It's inconsiderate."
Dani's cheeks go hot at Jazz's admonishing tone. "Oh. Sorry." She floats further into the room, if only to escape the awkward air settling between them.
If Dani didn't know any better, she would guess that Danny had just stepped outside for a second and would be back any moment. Lowering herself to the floor, Dani settles on the carpet and walks toward the desk. A controller of some kind sits on the desk chair, its cord tangled with a headset. Dani picks the controller up and turns it over in her hand. She only vaguely recognizes the X logo in the middle of it; her travels over the past couple of years haven't exactly involved a lot of gaming. Or any.
There was a small handheld system she picked up at a garage sale once. She carried it for a few months but lost it somewhere along the way.
Dani tosses the controller onto the chair and turns back to Jazz. "So, now what?"
"Well, if you're not comfortable with Danny's things still being in here, we can get some boxes and start packing. I think we have some in the basement. If you want." Jazz tacks on the last three words with a soft voice.
"No, it's fine."
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah, course." It's just stuff, after all. Dani doesn't quite get it, which also means she doesn't care. If the Fentons don't want to move Danny's stuff yet, then it can stay. He was their son before he was Dani's cousin/DNA source.
"Okay. I guess I'll just... let you get settled, then. I have to work on some plans for the memorial, but Mom and Dad should be home in a couple hours. They said they wouldn't be gone long," Jazz says.
Dani nods. A few seconds of silence pass, and once it's obvious that neither of them is going to say anything more, Jazz turns and walks down the hall. Finally alone, Dani lets her ghost form fall away. The transformation rings prickle as their bright light ghosts over her skin, and when it fades, she's left in her typical shorts and hoodie. Dani rubs her arms until the prickling fades, then flops onto the bed.
Damn. It really is the softest thing she's ever lain on. And the blankets are warm. They smell like Danny, too. That's something Dani never thought she would think. She didn't even realize Danny had a smell, but it's hard to ignore now. It's not the most tangible smell. The best word Dani can find to describe it is crisp, like a cold day. She would bet her beanie that it was because of his ice powers, an ability they had never shared.
Dani shakes her head. Everything is weird enough right now. The last thing she needs to be contemplating is how Danny used to smell. It's also, like, a super creepy line of thought, yeah? Yeah.
As she stares up at the ceiling, a blur of movement catches her eye. Her gaze jumps toward it, in the corner of the bedroom closest to the door. A small brown lump clings to the ceiling. A bug, no doubt. Dani can't tell what kind, and she doesn’t care enough to find out. It's not too surprising, considering how messy Danny's room is. There's probably some old pizza hiding under his bed or something.
Dani rolls onto her side and closes her eyes. A little bug doesn't bother her, not after the places she's slept. And if the Fentons won't be home for a while, and Jazz is busy, she might as well take advantage of her new bed and the next few hours to get some shuteye. God knows she needs it.
Maddie feels sorry for Vlad's receptionist. She bears a striking resemblance to Maddie herself, with short auburn hair just a touch redder than Maddie's own, a curvy frame, and a sharp, pointed chin. She's even wearing blue, bless her heart. The girl is pretty, and young, and kind. Can't be too far out of high school, and hoping a job at the mayor's office will look good on her resume. Maddie hopes it pays off. The girl deserves it for putting up with Vlad daily. Working for him seems to be taking a toll on her, judging by the distressed look in her eyes when she looks up from Vlad's appointment book.
"I'm sorry, there's no appointment for you. I don't know if I can let you in," she says.
Maddie sighs. "Mr. Masters left me a message"—or several—"asking me to come in."
"I'm really sorry, but he didn't mention expecting you... oh no." The receptionist's eyes widen and she starts digging through papers on her desk. "Did I forget to write it down again? He got so upset last time."
Maddie reaches out and touches her shoulder, stopping the frantic search. "It's all right, dear. It's not your fault."
She suspected, when Vlad left numerous messages on her cellphone rather than calling the house, that something more was up. How Vlad even got her cellphone number she doesn't want to know. She will also be changing it very soon thanks to this incident.
"He's particular about his meetings," the receptionist says. "I really can't let you in."
"Just let him know I'm here, and I'll take care of the rest."
The receptionist nods. While she goes for the phone, Maddie steps away from the desk and turns back to the waiting area. It's empty besides her and the receptionist—not surprising this early on a Monday, and all the better for Maddie. She pulls her cellphone from her purse and checks the time; It's just after eight. Dani is due at Fenton Works soon, but Maddie and Jack won't be back until noon, at least. The reminder makes her wince.
Missing half of Dani's first day at home isn't ideal, but Maddie wants to get this meeting over with as fast as possible. They had other plans in the city, anyway, made before they invited Dani into their home. Better to get everything done at once.
Maddie eyes plush waiting room armchairs, wondering if there's any point in sitting down, when the receptionist calls out, "Mrs. Fenton?"
Maddie opens her mouth to answer, but her phone—still in her hand—buzzes at that moment. Jack's name stretches across the screen. "Excuse me." She steps toward the elevators on the far side of the room and turns her back to the receptionist, the closest semblance of privacy she can get, before answering her phone. "Hey, Jack. Is your meeting done already?"
"Not even close! How goes the shopping?"
"Fine so far. I forgot we didn't ask...." She tenses, feeling the receptionist's stare at her back. "We didn't ask what she might need, so I'm just grabbing the basics. Do you want me to pick something up for you? Are you waiting on the park board?"
"About that... I'm with them now, and—what day did we settle on for the memorial, again?"
Maddie shakes her head, but not out of annoyance. Jack forgetting the day hardly surprises her. He tends to forget the little details. If anything, it makes her feel grounded. The past two weeks have been a lot, to put it lightly. A lot of changes. A lot of revelations. But she can always rely on Jack to be his usual self.
"A month from today," she says.
"Thanks, baby! You're the best! See you later." The phone beeps as Jack hangs up. Maddie sighs while the corner of her lip twitches upwards. It's the closest she's come to smiling since Danny died. She holds like that for a moment, caught between the ache choking her heart and the desire for things to get better. They won't, not for a long time. She won't fool herself into thinking otherwise. But it's nice, for a moment, to pretend things might be okay.
"Leaving Jack alone with the DPR? I feel sorry for them." Vlad's slimy voice ruins the moment after the first syllable.
Maddie tenses, clutching her phone tighter, and turns to face him. "Vlad. It's bad business to ask for a meeting, then make your guest wait."
When Vlad smiles, his whitened teeth cut a bright slash across his cheeks. It's too wide, too sharp. Never reaches his eyes. Maddie remembers, long ago, when Vlad had a soft smile. He used it sparingly, doling it out to only the most deserved. She can't imagine him smiling like that now.
"Well, I don't mean to be presumptive, but when I phone a friend hoping for a visit, I expect them to stop by my house, not my work."
"Your mistake, then."
The receptionist's typing falters. Her have yet to stray from her screen, but Maddie already knows she's listening in. Vlad probably does, too.
"Natalie!" he snaps.
The receptionist jerks upright. "Yes, sir?"
Vlad rests a hand on Maddie's back and pushes her forward. She moves, if only to step out of his reach, and heads toward his office. Vlad reaches into his suit jacket as he walks. He pulls out his wallet and pinches a few random bills, tugging them out without looking. "Take a break. I'm sure you could use a coffee to perk you up."
He leans in front of Maddie to drop the bills on Natalie's desk. The contact makes Maddie grimace, and she hurries ahead into his office. When she turns, Vlad is already closing the door. The last thing Maddie sees of the waiting room is Natalie's frown as she glances at a paper cup sitting in plain view on her desk.
"Now, Maddie." Vlad turns. Rather than heading to his desk, he steps toward Maddie and touches her arm. "How are you doing?"
"You left me seven messages just so you could ask that?" Maddie brushes Vlad's hand off. In three long strides, she cuts across his office and takes one of the visitor's chairs. While the waiting room had plush armchairs, these are made of dark wood, armless, with firm leather cushions and straight backs. A deliberate choice, no doubt.
Vlad comes up beside her, his hand on the second chair. Before he can sit, Maddie swings her purse off her shoulder and drops it on the empty cushion. Vlad pauses, glances between her and the bag, but relents and takes his seat at the desk instead.
His chair sits considerably higher than Maddie's.
"I can imagine the pain you're going through right now," he says.
Maddie's fists clench. "Can you really?"
"Believe it or not, yes, I can." He pauses, giving her a chance to respond. But whatever question he wants her to ask, whatever game he wants to play, Maddie refuses to give in. She might have put up with him once, but after what he's done, he will be lucky if she willingly suffers his presence ever again after today.
She waits for Vlad to elaborate.
"I'm sure you've wondered, all this time, where Danny went whenever he disappeared for hours. Being our city's young hero explains a lot of it, yes, but to be honest, that wasn't everything." Vlad stops to take a deep breath, closing his eyes for a brief moment. It's quite the performance. "To tell you the truth, he was often with me."
Bullshit! Maddie wants to shout, but she bites it back. Her jaw aches from how hard she clenches her teeth.
"I discovered his secret a long time ago and gave him a safe place away from home. You know, when conversation at the dinner table got to be too much." Vlad pauses again, letting his words sink in.
Maddie hates that she knows exactly what he means. All those times she and Jack discussed their inventions, their plans for when they finally captured the ghost boy. Most of what Vlad is saying might be a lie, but the truth within it cuts her deeply. "Really?"
Vlad might think himself a great actor, but he's apparently ignorant to Maddie's own deception. He nods at her questioning tone, eyes low and mouth pressed into a grim line. "I understand this is hard to hear. I did my best to make him feel safe, and we actually became close. Over the years, I came to think of him as something of a son. And his death has affected me deeply."
He stands, trailing his hand along his desk as he walks around toward Maddie. His shoulders droop, as if Danny's absence weighs on him. It really is a good performance. Peering closer, Maddie sees that he even looks pallid, and purple bags rest under his eyes. A look easily accomplished with some pale foundation and smudged eyeshadow.
"It's like a piece of me is missing without him. I'm sure you feel the same. We need each other, Maddie. To make us whole again."
Vlad reaches toward her, but she ducks away from him, slipping out of her chair. His hand falls through the empty air and he stumbles, nearly falling into the chair.
Now he's being ridiculous, Maddie thinks. She could have fallen for the makeup and the sob story if she didn't know better, but the off balance act? The distressed look in his eye when she pulls away? She's insulted that he thinks she would fall for it.
"You're right Vlad. I'm in pain. Danny is gone and it feels like he took a piece of me with him when he died. But I have my family to help me through it." She grabs her purse off the other chair and heads for the door. "Now if you'll excuse me, I have somewhere to be."
"Madeline, please—"
"Vladimir!" Her shout tears at her throat. She turns on him, blinking to fight back the burn in her eyes. He stands frozen where she left him, crumpled pathetically against her empty chair, one hand still outstretched. Maddie swallows the lump in her throat. "Enough."
She leaves without another word.

tmi: affection - the collector, billy lenz, bo sinclair, brahms, bubba
how affectionate can your slasher be? puppy with a severe case of separation anxiety or just downright dead inside? how would they react to an affectionate s/o?
Asa Emory/The Collector
not the most showy, but cares a decent amount. in asa’s mind he technically owns you so he can touch you whenever he wants.
he’ll allow some displays of affection, but if you pull out all the lovey-dovey stuff at him right off the bat he’s quick to put you back in place. he’s calling the shots here, remember? also, clinging onto him while he’s working is a big no-no.
might take him a while to truly be soft with you. just let him do his thing and he’ll open up to the idea. his methods would be... odd at first: dressing you in cute clothing and doing your make-up. here, have a firm rub on the head for staying still.
ask permission. not only would he be into that sort of thing, he’s more likely to allow it to happen. making yourself comfortable on his lap? tsk, tsk. what do you think you’re doing? holds you by the jaw until you get off. now if you asked nicely, he’ll be amused. he’ll give a curt nod and you can saddle up on there. he might even praise you if you behave.
eventually learns how to properly pamper his lover. neck/shoulder rubs are his go-to but he sometimes surprises you with a kiss on the top of your head. if he’s had a bad day he’ll let you be as clingy and affectionate as you want.
Billy Lenz
associates any form of touch with sex. he might pet at your hair after he’s screwed your brains out but he’s not going to hold you. if you hold him instead, he might think you’re trying to suffocate him. doesn’t know that aftercare is a thing.
billy’s prone to lashing out if something triggers him so please be extra careful with him. this man has gone through some shit and would appreciate just being treated like a decent human being.
pet him! run your fingers through his hair and he might relax. again, he’s not used to being treated nicely so he might try and hurt you a bit to see if you’re really being genuine towards him or not.
loves gentle shows of affection. resting your head against him, holding hands, sitting on each other’s laps, etc. being soft with him significantly calms him down, and he will eventually start to associate touch with something positive for once.
unfortunately, he gets genuinely upset whenever you need to leave. no, no, no! you need to stay here with him. billy’s a good boy now, see? billy won’t bite this time, promise! learns very quickly to seduce you into some cuddling to keep you in the attic for as long as possible.
Bo Sinclair
kind of dead inside ngl. not a fan of affectionate touches - or affection in general. bo is more of a “we fuck sometimes and that’s nice” kind of guy than a relationship guy.
affectionate? with him? truly, you’re testing your patience. prepare for some bad-mouthing. he’s one of those “feelings are for pussies” types and he’ll gladly let you know that he doesn’t have the time nor the patience for it.
do not fuss over him - he’s a grown man, for god’s sake. he doesn’t need two vincents hounding him. yes, even if he’s bleeding in three different places. after he takes care of business then you can offer to patch him up. still highly unlikely he’ll relent though. (but! he’ll secretly appreciate you asking first instead of going full mother hen on him unprompted.)
bo might soften up a bit with some alcohol. he’ll allow some touching but only if you’re open to sleeping with him afterwards. he’s notoriously kinky, so you better believe he’s gonna keep going until you pass out.
only then will he indulge in caging you in his arms and admiring you in your slumber. if he happened to be especially nasty to you (verbally or sexually), he’ll trail kisses along your skin as some sort of secret apology. surprise! he has tender feelings too. just don’t expect him to still be there in the morning though.
Brahms Heelshire
more, more, more! gets shit-faced drunk with affection. careful - he’s much harder to handle when he’s spoiled. remember to scold him from time to time otherwise this man will have you wrapped around his little finger. (or is it the other way around?)
do not, under any circumstances, let him lead with all the touching. most of the time he just wants to shag you to his heart’s content. (or please do so, if that also happens to be your end-goal.)
boundaries? don’t know her. brahms has no concept of personal space - all he knows is that you’re warm and you smell nice. again, scold him. otherwise he’s always going to be pressed up on you.
loves being held. suffocate him with your chest and he’ll die an honorable death. secretly holds you, but only when he knows you’re asleep. brahms doesn’t normally stay up late but when he does he gets very emotional. stares at you like you’re the only thing that matters in the world. soft!brahms only emerges after midnight.
unlike other slashers, he’ll make it known that he truly wants to be held and loved. massive libido aside, he’ll shamelessly melt in your arms if you shower him with affection. you thought he was clingy in the beginning? now that he knows he loves you (for real this time!) he hates not even seeing you. oh, you’re going to the bathroom? can he come with?
Bubba Sawyer / Leatherface
not running away from him counts, right? if you start holding his hand and hugging him out of the blue he might lose it. his poor heart! kissing him? mercy!! he can only handle so much! bubba’s so eager to love and be loved, he won’t even question it. expect happy squeals and chirps at all times.
happy bubba is surprisingly twice as dangerous. often tries to show off how good of a boyfriend he is, so his work efficiency will be doubled. see how quickly he decapitated that man? only for your protection! and also slightly because drayton told him to.
the type to give you kisses on top of your head whenever he needs to go somewhere without you, then pick you up and hold you in his arms as soon as he gets back. good morning kisses? good night kisses? he’s your man.
would always bring back little trinkets for you like jewelry and small bones. if you happen to mention a hobby in passing, he’ll remember. like reading? bam! this one he got off the floor. artsy? boom! a handful of highlighters. whatever he can fit in his pockets is going to be delivered directly to his beloved.
not as clingy as brahms but gets sad if he doesn’t see you as often as he wants. he has chores to do and does majority of the victim-wrangling so he’s quite the busy bee. checks in on you after finishing a task, as a treat. bubba’s prone to missing you a lot and whenever he comes back to you it’s like he hasn’t seen you in weeks.

Could we please get some relationship headcanons for Ann, Makoto, Futaba and Haru?
i kinda went overboard and wrote more than I expected... but i am a sap for relationship hcs!! also saw that 4/23 is makoto’s bday, which is very cool and convenient for me hehe ,, hope you like this <33
word count: 1.549 warnings: SLIGHT STORY SPOILER IN HARU'S PART tags/genre: fluff, just all of it
requests are open!
Tumblr media
Takamaki Ann
She loves to pamper you. Be it buying you stuff, treating you her favorite desserts, or staying over at your place and dressing you up with cute outfits. You try to do the same for her and she enjoys it as well.
A LOT of PDA, though it’s not over the top. She’d pepper kisses all over your face whenever she’s excited. Or always bury her face in your neck whenever she needs to be closer to you.
Even though Ann hasn’t dated anyone before you, she definitely learned and read up on how to be the best girlfriend. Probably read those relationships magazines (she denies it though)
Ann prefers simpler dates at the park or karaoke, but she wouldn’t mind making reservations for fancier restaurants if there’s an occasion. Would definitely choose buffets over the 5-star restaurant though.
Speaking of occasions, she’s the type to have celebrations for every little thing you guys do together as a couple. It can range from monthsaries, your first beach date, or your first night together. Ann keeps trinkets with her from every date you two go on.
Ann always has you on her mind. If she sees a new cheesecake shop, she buys it thinking that you would enjoy sharing it with her. When she saw cute phone charms, she bought a pair so you and her would have a “couple-y” item.
Would be into double dates, she doesn’t say it, but it definitely comes from her competitive side of showing off. Ann wants everyone to know she’s dating the best person ever. 💕
Introduces you to her parents through Skype. Ann says she couldn’t wait till her parents come back from their trips, so you could properly meet them. She quells your nervousness by saying that they already approved of you.
Petnames are minimal, but it’s very sweet when she does use them with you. You think it’s because she enjoys the flustered expression on your face when she calls you “baby” or “sweetie”.
Ann’s just a proud girlfriend! Be ready to be treated like the royalty you are, as you made her feel her worth once more.
Tumblr media
Niijima Makoto
Similar to Ann, she values your relationship and you greatly. Makoto would be careful as possible around you. Always tending to your needs, mindful of what she says and does around you. There’s constant communication between you and her.
Probably would overheat out of embarrassment if she tries to cling onto you when in public, so hand-holding and touching knees while sitting together is enough for her.
Makoto DEFINITELY researched every possible tip and ‘guide’ on how to be the perfect girlfriend. You insist that she doesn’t need to incorporate all those into your relationship, saying that she’s perfect as the way she is.
With all that studying though, she actually sets up the best dates for you two. She always invites you to a newly-opened restaurant or gets the best seats whenever there’s a film showing nearby.
That said, she still prefers dates in secluded areas, places similar to Leblanc. She has this favorite nature trail that she found out about in dating forums and would take you there on nightly walks, talking about everything and nothing.
Makoto doesn’t announce your relationship to others, thinking that it’s better if people found out naturally. She likes the look on people’s faces when she admits to having a significant other while she acts all innocent and pure about it.
Her sister would openly confront her about your relationship, but Sae is lowkey super supportive of you and her. She says it’s good that someone is at Makoto’s side when she isn’t there.
She acts composed around others, but you’re the only one she lets see her vulnerable side. You tell her it’s adorable that you can easily tease her. (please don’t tease her too much or she’ll implode from being too flustered)
Makoto would think she’s too mature for petnames, but you don’t hold it against her, especially when she says your name with so much love in her voice every time.
Makoto is an observant girlfriend! She says it’s because she wants you to know that she genuinely cares and that she’s grateful to be yours.
Tumblr media
Sakura Futaba
Futaba’s relationship with you feels natural from the start, despite her insistence that she would suck being a girlfriend. You reassure her at the start that she would do great with little to no effort, and she does :)
Wouldn’t even think twice about PDA, She feels safe and secure when she’s closer to you, so the more contact, the better. If she could, Futaba would shamelessly cling onto your back like a koala. (and you’d let her)
She says that experience is the best teacher, so she went into your relationship completely blind. The whole thing had its setbacks; she tried to kiss you out of nowhere one time, since “that’s what couples do, right?” You told her that there was no rush, and she was grateful for that.
She’s a fast learner though, and it manifests in her innocent but sincere gestures. When she thinks that you’re sad, she tells you jokes or shows you a meme she liked on her phone. Futaba thinks that whatever makes her happy, might cheer you up too.
Absolutely loves talking about her interests to you, because she knows that you would never judge her or question what she likes. You enjoy being on the listening side, since the way Futaba lights up is enough for you.
Alternatively, she’s a very active listener whenever you would talk about your day or share something about your interests. Futaba encourages you to tell her more about it, and on her own time, she learns about your said interests so she can participate in the conversations better.
In terms of interests, she convinced you to play video games with her (if you don’t already play) and it’s already a date for the two of you. Dates always involve either trips to Akihabara, arcade hopping, or the park when she wants quiet times with you.
Sojiro enjoys seeing you two interact whenever you guys stop by at Leblanc. When Futaba was in the restroom, he whispered to you saying that he hasn’t seen Futaba this energetic ever since she was a kid. That meant a lot to you.
She started calling you exaggerated names like “my lovely sweetheart babycakes” or “little fluffball whiskers”. Other than that, her favorite petname for you was “bub”, since she said the funny word fit you well. You love hearing it from her too.
Futaba is a heartfelt girlfriend! Your bond with each other has always been close, and now you get the chance to be closer.
Tumblr media
Okumura Haru
Haru would be reserved from openly showing affection at the start, but you give her all the time and space she needs. She appreciates it greatly and reciprocates the effort in kind.
PDA is a no-no, although she does unknowingly flirt with you in the sweetest way. She has a way with words that makes the simplest compliment seem like the highest praise, and it’s enough to make you feel loved.
With her training for marriage, she obviously knows the basic aspects of a relationship. Taking care of you comes naturally to her, yet you were there to show her that she can receive the same amount of love that she readily gives to you.
You teased her about how she acts more like a mother to you, and she misunderstood and profusely apologized (poor sweetheart). Haru explains that she loves seeing you thrive and be happy, which in turn makes her happy.
It started as an innocent suggestion, but Haru wanted to write love letters to you from time to time. In most instances she would pass it onto you after a date, saying that you should read it when you get home. Other times she would quietly slip it in your bag as a surprise for you to find.
You’ve come to appreciate the craft that Haru puts into the letters. She always chooses the delicate papers, sometimes scented. And other letters had pressed flowers in the envelope. The most precious thing in the letter though was her confessions and affirmations.
Haru lets you choose your date locations since she wants to be more accustomed to city life. You once brought her to a conveyor belt sushi place, and you couldn’t handle the joy in your eyes when you saw her be fascinated about it. “It just moves in little trains! It’s so innovative and cute,” she says.
When you were closer with her, she opened up more about her father to you, even inviting you to visit the shrine dedicated to him in the mansion. That was the first time you saw her cry, and you promised yourself to do your best so you never have to see her like that again.
Romantic petnames suit her well, but she only uses them when you two are alone. Hearing Haru call you “my lily” or “my light” always caught you off-guard no matter how many times you have heard it.
Haru is a compassionate girlfriend! She treats you as delicately as she acts and you know that you’re in good hands with her, as she is with your own.

hey all! have some very specific headcanons while I procrastinate working on the story I’ve been trying to finish!!!
Steve is obsessed with drinking milk. Pop makes him feel queasy ‘cause of all the sugar and the carbonation, water tastes bad, juice is way too sweet, and he’s allergic to coffee which you can’t really drink that all the time anyways, so he pretty much exclusively drinks milk. Billy is horrified to learn this fact and tries desperately to get his boyfriend to drink something, anything else. The milk craze is finally over when they discover that Steve loves iced tea just as much!
Billy cracks his bones all. of. the. time. It literally doesn’t matters what’s goin on like, they’ll just be sitting there watching tv and Bill will crack his fingers and knuckles one joint at a time, roll his shoulders so they crack, pop his elbows just because. Sometimes he’ll be like, “hey Stevie listen to this!” and like, violently crack his collarbone ten times in a row.
Steve is very allergic to pet dander but he refuses to not have at least one pet at all times once he’s out of his parents house. Billy gets sick of Steve being sick, having migraines every day, constantly being congested and itchy all over, so he talks Steve into getting allergy shots. They discover at the first appointment that Billy isn’t going to be able to come to these things because needles freak him out too much after getting out of the hospital.
In addition to needles they learn overtime that Billy has a lot of post Starcourt phobias and aversions actually. To name a select few, he gets jeeped by spaces that are too open, like empty buildings and fields, anything with too many legs (bugs, crabs, etc), windows, (more specifically, he’s afraid of what he’ll see if he looks out there, especially at night), and storm clouds in the day time.
Billy also becomes extremely superstitious after his stay in the hospital. Things like having to sleep on the right side of the bed so he can get out on the right side every morning, thinking odd numbers are bad luck, which means he won’t do anything important if the last digit on the clock is an odd number, letting the phone ring exactly three times before answering (if it rings four or more it’s just not getting answered), and locking and unlocking every door in the house twice. At first Steve thinks it’s kind of sweet, maybe a little funny because like, his gramma did stuff like that, but it gets a lot more serious when they discover that if Billy doesn’t get to go through the motions of one of those things, he’ll shut down entirely with panic attacks. This was learned the hard way when Steve answered the phone after only one ring because he was already expecting a call from Robin and Billy panicked and yanked the cable out of the phone jack and had an hour long meltdown. Not too long after that he gets diagnosed with OCD.
Steve is a dog person and Billy is a cat person. These are indisputable facts. But they get a cat first because they live in an apartment and they want a yard before they can get a dog, and it’s just easier for Billy to take care of a cat until he’s fully recovered anyways because she’s not gonna be yanking him around on a leash. The cat I imagine for them is a big old orange and white ragdoll named Bunker Buster!
When they do finally move into a house, not quite making the jump to Cali yet but just getting out of their apartment, they get a dog like, immediately. She’s a huge white shepherd, like, werewolf sized, named Little Miss Sunshine!
Billy is yellow-blue color blind! He thought for sure his Camaro was green and never actually realized his triple denim outfits weren’t all matching! Steve is the first person to call him out on his not quite accurate descriptions of colors because let’s face it, when he was learning his colors his parents were too busy fighting to pay attention to him, and he was too afraid of teachers to participate all that much, so it just gets ignored and never addressed until he’s with Steve. His brain feels all jumbled up for months after this discovery because he never knew the way he was classifying what he saw was so not on par with the typical experience.
Steve gets glasses halfway through college because he realizes in the middle of a very important lecture that he can’t see jack. They’re pretty sure the sudden deterioration of his vision has mostly nothing to do with all the head trauma and is just a genetic thing because both of his parents and all of his cousins and aunts and uncles have glasses. He has two pairs just to spice things up, one pair is some super thick, round frames that the lenses make his eyes just a little bigger, and the other is a clear-ish chunky pair for when he doesn’t want to look as much like a nerd. He also gets prescription sunglasses to keep in his car and he basically has to wear them as his third main pair because really, he went twenty something years without having to worry about the things, there’s no way he’s going to remember to put on his glasses every single morning.
Billy never ever showers alone after Starcourt. Hot water is too much like the sauna and cold water is too much like the ice baths and he just can’t stand being by himself. He honestly sort of hates water in general after the fact, rain drops, swimming pools, even the ocean, which makes him kind of depressed.
Steve is a little bit of a hoarder. It’s because of his mom, she used to be really big on collecting stuff for the kitchen, like, they have a few complete Pyrex dish sets (yellow and white gooseberry and butterfly gold, to be specific) and a huge collection of wilton's cake pans, so the habit just sort of rubs off on him. It’s things like snow globes, wall clocks, specifically ones with unusual chimes (they have one that plays Christmas music at the turning of every hour), and fancy trinkets that he gets into ‘collecting.’ This is how he and Billy end up with a disturbingly large porcelain clown collection.
Steve’s favorite icecream flavor is black raspberry, and Billy’s is a solid tie between Superman and chunky monkey! (He claims it’s impossible to choose simply because sometimes he wants chocolate and sometimes he doesn’t but!it’s secretly because of Steve’s nut allergy that sometimes he won’t pick chunky monkey!)
When they move into their forever house in the California suburbs they totally have one of those cement goose statues in their yard that they religiously dress up for the changing seasons/holidays!
