Hello can I request Mentor! Nezha x student! Reader?

Where Nezha is reader's mentor but reader tends to push themselves a bit too hard

(Platonic)

Oh fun!! Dude nothing hits like a mentor with a burnt out student where the mentor has to actually keep an eye on things

"Blooming" (670 w.c)

Mentor!Nezha x Student!GN!Reader

PLATONIC Oneshot

CW: burnout, Nezha is disappointed

“No, you were too slow. Try again.”

You panted as you put your hands on your knees, looking at the weapon you’d dropped on the ground when he disarmed you. You were putting all your energy into this, and even though he wasn’t even using his powers, he was still much stronger than you. You’d been training under Nezha for weeks now. Shouldn’t you be more ahead?

Nonetheless, you picked up your spear, going back to the edge of the circle you two trained in. You got into the starting position just as he did.

“Ready?”

“Ready.”

He rushed at you, letting himself go into the loose defense so you could try to implement the move he was teaching you that day. A sweep of the legs that, if done correctly, would end with the handle of your spear across his shoulders to pin him down. But against the type of plans he had for you to go by, you had spent a few hours last night trying to exercise a little more than you were meant to. And by the gods, you were exhausted. And now you were pinned, too, and you didn’t even remember what happened while you were thinking.

“Okay, we’re done.” He frowned at you, taking your weapon. You didn’t even try to stop him. But this wasn’t how lessons usually ended—he would normally help you up and have you explain what led to the outcome of the fight.

“What? Did I do badly?” You scrambled to get up and follow him to the small building near his home that served as a home gym. He didn’t slow down his pace, his hands were balled into fists.

“It didn’t even feel like you were trying, y/n. Do you have something going on that’s making it harder for you to fight?” His disappointment hurt more than your muscles at the moment. You hung your head.

“I’m sorry. I’m really trying, I swear.” You explained, holding your hands in your pockets. He turned to face you in the doorway of the gym. His arms were folded across his chest as if he were upset, but his eyes were concerned and searching your face for something. You looked at him. He wouldn’t stop teaching you, would he? You’d worked so hard, you couldn’t just stop now!

“You’re not giving me 100 because you haven’t got 100 to give,” He sighed, dropping any anger he might have been holding. “Y/n, have you been doing more work than I’ve told you to do?”

“I mean, I’ve been doing some more night exercises, but no more than a few hours—“

“Hours? Y/n, I set guidelines for you because it’s meant to be completely adapted to your schedule and difficulty level. Doing more than that for the sake of getting ahead isn’t helping, it’s hurting.”

Nezha led you to the center of the yard, where he had you sit with him on the grass. He was across from you and could tell you were trying to directly mirror his pose. Always needing to do it like him.

“I don’t understand. Isn’t it good if I just want to be better?” You asked quietly. He took a few breaths, with you in tow.

“Getting better takes time and proper pacing. Jumping ahead because you think you can handle it isn’t always bad, but in your case, it’s burning you out. We’re putting a hold on your fighting, right now we just need to readjust your pace.” He explained to you. You listened to every word, internally cursing yourself for thinking you’d be able to just sneak this past him. Your intentions were good, it was just…too much.

“You’re a good kid, y/n. Just slow down and wait for me, alright?” Nezha ruffled your hair.

“So you’ll still teach me?”

“Of course I will. You’re my favorite student.”

“I thought I was your only student!”

“You are, you are!”

You two laughed and then settled into a quiet bit of meditation.

"Respectfully speaking, Dr. Chase, While I do appreciate being your student... could you and Ms. Sears perhaps, oh, I don't know, lay off with the kid treatment for once!? I'm 19, ya know! Which practically makes me an adult!"

"Sorry, kid! But after Adel, you're practically the little brother of our family in Caduceus, so the universe has practically decreed that I'd be the demon of messing with you! Besides, surely I can't be THAT bad, right?

"... Oh, suuuuuure, when you're not being a mega moron trying to play matchmaker with me and Ms. Ross or Dr. Stiles and Nurse Thompson, that is!"

"My, My! For someone so quiet most of the time, you really can be a sassy little monster! Who knows, you might be even more of a demon than me someday, my young apprentice!"

"Humph! The day that will happen is when I decide to grow a carpet on my chin like yours!" (NOT.)

So yeah, that's James and Tyler's mentor and student relationship in a nutshell. Don't get me wrong, he and Dr. Chase are very close, but sometimes the Demon Doctor's antics can often test his patience and thus bring out the sassy nature within!

And yes, James does have a second nickname after Lunagazer, being Little Monster due to his once hyperactive nature during his childhood, which Kira being the mischievous little sister she is, blabbed about it to Tyler and Leslie when James told her about it, much to his dismay.

Also decided to give James' design some changes, that being his scrubs are now more muted in colour, reflecting his emotional state, and he has his necklace for his Soothing Choir powers like Derek for his Healing Touch but he choses instead to tuck it under his shirt for reasons, and his hair is tweaked again.

I even decided to give Tyler's UTK bear pin to James instead of the blue one I gave him for the Operation start animation I did, as I'd like to imagine Tyler would give it to him after he becomes his student in the Caduceus Training Program as an intern, sorta to show he's part of the family as Tyler puts it, and you know it acts as a metaphor for the old generation passing the torch onto the new.

As for Tyler and why he looks different, well, I kinda chose to do a headcanon of "What he could have looked like 3 years later in UTK 2, if Atlus didn't decide to only update Derek and Angie's looks."

Tyler mostly keeps the same personality and design as inspired by Aileen's manga, except for the fact his hair is a bit more wavy as well as noticeable differences being he now has a goatee and stubble, as I'd like to think he did that to play up his demon personality, (And not just because he thinks it looks handsome or anything!)

He also gets a new bear pin influenced by his Second Opinion design. Since Tyler's old bear pin started to wear out and feel out of fashion for him, I'd like to think the new one he has was a birthday gift his little sister Amy gave to him as a thank you for being a good doctor, and so when he wears it, he feels as if Amy is always there for him in spirit.

And that's mostly it. I might decide to eventually do some stories revolving around these two when I get to it or feel confident in doing so one day and when I've got it figured out, as Tyler will be important as James' guide during UTK 2 from his and Adel's points of view, but that's for another day.

I don't believe Duke Thomas and Luke Fox have every actually interacted in canon. Despite that, I often see them being portrayed as having this close mentor relationship in fandom or wfa. Yes there is a lot of cool potential to explore there, but it's not the established relationship that so many posts pretend it is.

But his mentor is Jefferson Pierce! Black Lightning! He has that mentorship relationship that people try to fit Luke into. Not only were they in a team together, but Jefferson (and Lady Shiva) made extra attempts to bring Duke under his wing and look out for his well-being. I get the impression that Duke is automatically paired with Batwing in fan creations because they are both Black—but so is Black Lightning and he has had actual interactions with Duke!

Also? Within the family, Duke is closest with Cass! They are siblings! And they act like it. They built such a strong relationship while in the Outsiders, and as they were obeying and disobeying orders, they never waivered in their support for each other. Second to Cass, he has wonderful team ups with Bruce, and quickly wormed his way into Damian's trust. Though not as established, Duke's interactions with Dick and Jason also give a foundational idea of their dynamics.

I just want to see him actually interacting with his canon friends okay.

#monthly beg for people to read Batman and the outsiders #but seriously #please #read a Duke comic #i think him and like could have fascinating interactions! they could totally be a mentor student pair!#but they're not!#it does such a disservice to both of them to ignore all their actual characterizations and relationships #dc comics #Duke Thomas #Luke fox #batman #jefferson pierce

van helsing, about jack seward: look at this nerd. this dweeb. this absolute loser. you think he gets women? he barely knows what a woman is. he’s never so much as glimpsed a woman’s shin, and let’s be real, he never will. (unless it’s for a medical reason because again, he has no life.) zero game. his doctorate is in being pathetic. you’re aware of this, i’m sure, miss westenra,

#jack who proposed while playing with a lancet: *nodding in agreement*#what an excellent mentor #know your students!!#abraham van helsing #dracula #dracula daily

NPC appreciation week: day 1 - Curious Village / Diabolical Box

Marjorie and Conrad - Diabolical Box

These two are definitely minor minor characters, BUT I just cant resist the giggle I get seeing other mentor and student duos in the series. Conrad's character profile says Marjorie is his role model and he emulates her in every way! Adorable to see Layton isn't the only one with an eager little duckling following close behind hehe

(plus Marjorie writing popular mystery novels after work! Cute!!)

#layton-npc-appreciation-week #marjorie professor layton #conrad professor layton #professor layton #marjorie's hair was so tricky to wrap my head around sdfjhsdf #ALSO so funny to see a mentor student duo where one is a college student and still following so keenly haha #makes me feel extra tickled by lukes tiny self being such a dutiful student #teenytinyart #i had grand ambitions to do characters from all the games but alas time was not on my side asdjkfhsdfsd #layton npc appreciation week
