daniil crying daniil crying daniil crying
i like to imagine that he almost never cries and i just wanna know what finally makes him break down and ugly cry
OH MAN, I 100 percent agree with this, he strikes me as the kind of person to bottle up everything and try to push all his emotions down, but those emotions end up manifesting in negative/self-destructive ways until the weight of everything finally causes him to break down
There's a fic I love that does this really well, please read Shedding Skin by Plaguedboar, I binged all thirteen chapters in two days and was ugly crying by the end of it
Daniil and Artemy come to a slow harrowing realization about their feelings towards each other, but they both recognize how dangerous and destructive acting on those feelings might be. After Daniil takes a bullet for Artemy, it drives a wedge between them, Daniil pushing Artemy further and further away, as Artemy increasingly believes that Daniil sees him as something dangerous - something with the capacity to destroy him. That if Artemy allowed himself to love him and keep him in the town, Daniil will die
❗ SPOILERS ❗
The reason why Daniil ends up taking the bullet is because he realizes that he's also in love with Artemy, but truly believes that he's not worthy of being loved and that he'll ruin Artemy just like how he's ruined everything else he's touched. So, by dying by saving Artemy's life, it would have have been the best thing he could do for the both of them. However, because Artemy ends up saving him, Daniil becomes devastated and does everything in his power to make Artemy hate him and leave him, if he knows what's good for him. In turn, it causes Artemy to question if he's even capable of loving anyone. Thus, begins a cycle of Daniil being as cold and hateful as possible, throwing insults and being self-destructive, while Artemy keeps trying to save him, which only pushes Daniil to be more hateful and self-destructive....
❗ END SPOILERS ❗
There's a beautiful moment at the end where it culminates in Daniil walking out into the steppe to die, and against all odds, Artemy finds him there. After all this time, after all the insults, the coldness, the violence, Artemy decides to love Daniil despite it all and follows him into the wide expanse. Even then, the Capital Snake is still trying to spit venom - doing everything in his power to get Artemy to leave and let him die, but it doesn't work because Artemy finally sees through the facade. He reaches past the Bachelor's many roles and holds on to the Daniil that's terrified of loving and being loved in return, and that's when Daniil finally breaks and allows his vulnerability to bleed through
PLEASE READ THIS!! The angst and catharsis of it all is immense, and I can't recommend it enough!!

“I like your stupid face. It’s so stupid. It’s so… I like it. Can I touch it?”
<3<3<3 thank you!
She leans forward, resting her arms on the table as she peers at him. He blinks back but doesn't look away. Their friends are around them, laughing and talking, but she keeps staring at him, eyes narrowing slightly. He tries not to smile, lips twitching at the effort. She's just so cute.
"I like your stupid face," she says. She's more than a little drunk with the way she's using the table to support her. He also knows that she'd never say this to his face sober. His eyebrows raise in surprise as she continues. "It's so stupid. It's so...I like it," she nods to herself. "Can I touch it?"
"You want to...touch my face?" he asks, making sure he heard her correctly.
Her lips purse together before she sniffs and leans back. "Nevermind."
He grabs her hand before she can retreat too far. Her eyes widen slightly but he leans forward, lifting her hand gently to touch his cheek. "Of course," he says. "Whenever you want."
She drags her teeth across her bottom lip, drawing his eyes to it. He practically holds his breath as he tilts his head into her hand. It's soft and smooth and warm. Her thumb brushes across his cheek and all he wants to do is pull her closer and kiss her. He'll wait though. Until she's sober. Until she can remember everything he wants to do and make her feel.
Someone bumps into her chair, breaking her concentration and he watches as she turns and laughs, shoving their friend back before she's drawn into another conversation next to her.
It's okay. He can wait.
let's do some prompts and drabbles!

1.
Aiden: So, what happens if we want a divorce?
Sam: We haven't even gotten married yet.
Aiden: Hypothetically. Say you brought divorce papers home and I don't sign them. What then?
2.
Sam: I was five years old when my parents got divorced, I don't know.
Aiden: No, I'm not asking because your parents are divorced, I'm asking because you literally know everything.
Sam: You severely overestimate me.
Aiden: Would we, like, go to court?
Sam: Why are you thinking about this?
3.
Aiden: It might be useful to know. Not that I want to get divorced, but, you know, things happen. Well, actually, if you want a divorce I'll just give you all my money, we don't have to fight.
Sam: Wow, I could buy a whole loaf of bread with that money.
Aiden: Ouch.
4.
Sam: Really, Aiden, what money?
Aiden: Well... I don't know, you could have all my belongings and sell them.
Sam: That sounds like labour that won't be worth it in the end.
Aiden: Double ouch. You're always so mean to me.
5.
Sam: This is a very grim conversation to have before we've even gotten married.
Aiden: Would you rather have it after?
Sam: I'd rather not have it at all. We're not getting a divorce.
6.
Aiden: I don't think people go into marriage expecting a divorce, do they?
Sam: Apparently you do.
Aiden: Actually, you're right, this is a really depressing conversation. What if we just promise to force each other to stay in an unhappy marriage if something happens?
Sam: No?
7.
Aiden: What if we do it in a sexy way?
Sam: What does that even mean?
Aiden: Sam, baby, you can't expect me to know what I'm talking about.
Sam: Whatever, just... Will you stop talking about this if I say yes?
Aiden: Maybe.
Sam: Fine, then, we'll force each other to stay in an unhappy marriage. That sounds healthy.
Aiden: Exactly.
8.
Sam: Are you regretting this?
Aiden: Regretting what?
Sam: Getting engaged.
Aiden: No. No.
9.
Aiden: Of course not. You're literally perfect. Obviously I want to spend the rest of my life with you.
Sam: What's the issue then?
Aiden: Nothing.
Sam: Tell me, baby.
10.
Aiden: No, it's nothing, really, I just... you know, I just want to make sure you want it too.
Sam: I'm 25 years old, Aiden, I think I can make my own judgement on who I want to marry.
Aiden: I'm not questioning your judgement, I just...
11.
Sam: What, Aiden?
Aiden: Forget it. It's stupid anyway.
Sam: Yes, it is. I can't believe you're this insecure after three years.
12.
Aiden: It's pretty cold here.
Sam: I told you to bring a sweater.
Aiden: Well, I brought you instead.
Sam: Do I look like a sweater to you?
Aiden: You look like my super nice boyfriend who'll feel really sorry for me and wrap your arms around me and warm me up?
13.
Sam: You're so weird.
Aiden: It's your fault.
Sam: My fault?
Aiden: Yeah. I wasn't like this before I met you. If you hadn't made me fall in love with you so hard I still wouldn't be like this.
Sam: Okay. Of course. Yes. It's my fault.
14.
Aiden: I love you. So much.
Sam: I love you too, baby.
