5. one night stand and falling pregnant au

trans people deserve all the love k thnx

—

Mathias loved to go to bars. The atmosphere, the drinks, all of it. It was all in good fun and while he didn’t go out every weekend, he always felt more relaxed when he got that first drink in his hands. 

He never left with anyone, though. Most girls were… they never really expected him to not have a dick. There was certainly a sense of pride at his own masculinity when chicks started pulling on his arms at the bars, but his blood always ran cold the instant he remembered that he was built a bit different from other men. 

He didn’t feel particularly frustrated by it, it was merely the cards he’d been dealt. 

Mathias was sitting at the bar and laughing at something a girl next to him had said when he felt an arm slide around his shoulders. Stiffening, Mathias turned his gaze to the side and felt suddenly breathless. 

“Hey,” they said seductively, a certain charm to his smirk. His face was like liquid gold, smooth, languid, and beautifully shaped. 

“Hey,” Mathias said dumbly. 

“I don’t think I’ve seen you around here before,” he said, sliding into the bar stool next to Mathias. The girl on his other side pursed her lips but didn’t bother, turning her attention to a new man. The man with gold in his eyes still had his hands around Mathias and moved the stool closer to him. 

“I, uh…” Mathias licked his lips and leaned forward. “This is my third time here.” 

“I guess I missed you. I’m Lovino,” he said, shifting even closer and pressing his body to Mathias’s. Closer up Mathias could tell that Lovino was italian, and he wondered if his skin was infused with sunshine from the warmth emanating from his skin. 

“Mathias,” he responded breathlessly. 

“Mathias,” Lovino stretched his name out, rolling it off his tongue. Mathias shivered. “I’d like to get to know you a little better, what say you?” The way he pressed his hand on Mathias’s thigh told him exactly how Lovino wanted to get to know him. 

“I…” Mathias bit his lip and looked down, disappointment boiling in his stomach. “I’m not what you’re expecting.” 

Lovino blinked in confusion and Mathias’s mouth went dry. “I don’t have…” 

Thankfully, that was all he had to say, as Lovino widened his eyes in understanding. Then he leaned forwards, pressed his lips to Mathias’s ear, and whispered, “I don’t care about that.” 

When he drew back, eyes lidded, Mathias was sold. For the first time, he went home with somebody else and woke up naked in a stranger’s bed.

Five weeks later, Mathias was having a panic attack. 

He wasn’t particularly sure why, exactly. The one-night stand with Lovino had been magical but, as a one-night stand, only happened once. He hadn’t seen Lovino since. 

“Breathe,” Lukas instructed, rubbing deep circles on his shoulders with his thumbs. Lukas continued to tell him how to breathe, counting and breathing with him. Mathias was eternally grateful for his best friend’s help. 

When the low-grade panic attack had passed, Lukas drew away and addressed him, saying, “Was there a reason for that one?” 

“N–” Mathias stopped. A stirring in his abdomen told him that it wasn’t, and the reason hit him like a truck. He felt suddenly lightheaded. “I haven’t had my period yet.” 

“What?” Lukas asked, a million emotions trying to force their way out of his mouth. 

“I haven’t…” Mathias started to laugh, hysteria bubbling through his throat. “I haven’t had my period yet!” 

“Have you…” Lukas swallowed, taking Mathias by the shoulders. “Have you had sex with anyone in the passed month?” 

“Yeah.” 

All the blood left Lukas’s face at once. “Shit.” 

He repeated that word multiple times as they drove to the drugstore, and many times more when Mathias, dumbfounded and not sure if he was feeling any emotions, held out a stick with a plus sign on it. 

“Do you know who their other parent is?” 

He nodded, then shook his head with a mumbled, “He won’t be here for this.” 

“Are you… going to keep the baby?” Lukas finally asked. “You don’t have to decide right now.” 

“I…” Mathias looked down at his stomach, pressing his splayed fingers to it. He imagined a small heartbeat flickering at his fingertips. “I think I will keep it.” 

Lukas nodded, worry playing across his face. “You can always change your mind later, remember.”

“I know.”

“Alright.” Lukas fell silent, then, “are you okay?” 

FHKLAHFKLSF OH NOOO AND MATHIAS FINDS OUT AND NEVER LETS HIM LIVE IT DOWN

he’s a stickler about being clean and loves it when mathias brushes his coat. very few ppl can do this tho , especially if they dont want to get kicked

actually loves running in the rain. he hates the mud but running in the rain is so addicting he still does it 

he gets rlly excited about interpreting the stars but thinks that humans hate it, hence the tail swishing ^^ 

agile, and despite what others think he’s a good runner (sprinting is his forte)

oooOOO

like this ^^ ? or mb the colors ur looking for are more like 

or smth else?

idk i just looked it up on google. Either way, they’re beautiful horses and lovino would rock that

niceeee !

centaurs are half horse, right? did you have an idea for what kind of horse Lovino is in this au? and what if Mathias became a horse wrangler + part of the herding program bcuz of his encounter with Lovino ? ohhhh

pff thanks :*

centaur? I’ve never heard of that one , cool! what did you have in mind with that? 

also it looks like you died halfway through, rip, i’ll come to ur funeral, friend

I’m thinking abt the Serial Killer vs New Homeowner and I can’t stop laughing bcuz imagine that the serial killer is Lovino, say, and he’s also a supernatural entity, like, a faerie or smth idk. and Mathias is a dorky new homeowner who just got away from his roomies and does all sorts of strange quirky things that his friend, Lukas, got him into bcuz it makes him feel calm and happy so he never questioned it. 

but Lovino hides (mb lives??) in the attic and comes down to kill Mathias and just. Can’t. there’s so many good vibes in the house and besides, he’s wearing an charmed iron necklace, and there’s cloves in his pocket, and wow is that a salt water diffuser?? and Lovino just . doesn’t kill him because Mathias is making the house feel so soft and happy (it’s besides the point that Lovino can’t touch him bcuz of the charmed necklace). 

of course other shenanigans ensue lmao 

yes !! I’ll make a list actually and if anyone wants elaboration on any specific au just shoot me an ask (or send a fic request either or lol) <3

Elementals; Lovino is a quarantined fire elementalist and Mathias is a janitor that stumbles into his sanction (I’m sensing a trend lol)

Mermaids; Mathias is a “shark” merman and Lovino is a “normal” fish merman. Lovino is told his whole life to stay away from sharks, but he never was good at listening. 

Ghost; Lovino and Feliciano haunt the college Mathias goes to. Lovino is the “wicked” ghost while Feliciano is the “benign” one. 

Fairies; Mathias is a banished winter fairy who is sent to live in Italy during the summertime as a human. He gets a job as a woodcarver and meets Lovino at an art expo. 

Lost; Lovino gets separated from Ludwig and Feliciano during a hike and gets lost. Fortunately, he finds someone else. Unfortunately, that someone has also been lost – only it was intentional, and has lasted five months. 

And of course some good ol’ soulmate aus

Skin; Lovino first got contact with his soulmate when he was fifteen only to find that they spoke different languages. So instead, he communicates with drawings and paintings. Mathias becomes a walking canvas. 

Eyes; Lovino thinks he cried when he turned 18 and still saw color. Mathias thinks he cried when he lost his eyesight. 

Strings; Francis can see the strings of fate, and does a double take when he sees Mathias and Lovino’s strings connect. Especially since they’re both dating someone else. And it ends up falling into the hands of him, Gilbert, and Alfred to bring them together. 

awhhh you’re so nice :’)) tysm <3

and ay yo lidya, you got a shoutout from an anon!! 

SCREAMMSS OH MY GOODNESS :’0000

you’re so chill bless your soul :’)

yes, I am continuing Wrong Number. It’s my baby and I really want to finish it eventually. idk if you were reading on ao3 or ff.net, but on fanfiction i have to do some “edits”. it’s kinda really dumb, and it takes a lot of time and willpower because is basically rewriting a lot of it? 

anyway chapter one used to be 4000 words and it’s now 20000 so uh yeah i’ve been working in the dark :’)) also the next chapter for ao3 is gonna be an omake and i need to find the inspiration to write matthew/natalya/elizabeta bcuz i originally just threw ships together, not thinking i would continue WN orz. 

ahh ty for the compliments though, it really means a lot to me that I have support for a crackship that used to be… dead. the other writers for it were long gone (and i got in contact w/ one of them, super chill person) and nobody really cared about it, so I was in no way expecting the response it got (or to meet a person who would eventually become one of my best friends)

we L P HI LIDYA WELCOME TO MY DOMAIN

ooOOOOH I WONDER

For one, he wouldn’t touch jazz with a ten foot pole. Nope. Not his thing. It has swing, and weird chords, and people smiling, and no thanks.

Lovino would be a sucker for the classics, but would be super pretentious about it. And he would only play the songs that well… dorks know. Basically “Fur Elise? Don’t know her.” literally hates Tchaikovsky with the passion of a thousand fiery suns but plays his songs because damnit if Lovino isn’t going to be a better player than that bitch so help him god–

He loves to play technical pieces in front of people, it makes him feel proud about himself and after he finishes playing one for someone he just feels that moment of completion and pure confidence and pride. But the club didn’t hire him for that, and he’s really good at pieces filled with expression. Beethoven, a little bit of Bach, vivaldi maybe. 

he only incorporates a few of the more expression-filled songs into his repertoire for the club, though. he’s so closed off, and hates it when people can see into his soul, and his music is a door to that. of course, when he plays after just for Mathias, he adds more heart into his songs. 

other music headcanons for lovi: 

he has moonlight sonata memorized but nobody can kNOW

his grandfather told him that to learn the piano would be an incredible feat. this is why he started playing. 

feliciano plays the violin and sometimes plays duets with lovino

he has all 8 inventions memorized and doesn’t hesitate to tell music snobs this

he can’t play in long stretches and it’s hard to sit down and practice sometimes. once he hits the one hour mark, he just can’t play (as a mental thing, not physical), so he usually takes a half hour break to relax

he played in a school musical once and he liked it but hated playing with so many other people so he never did it again

Feliciano told him once that marriage d’amour should only be played for your love. mathias once walked in on him plinking out the melody after hours and Lovino hasn’t been the same since

As much as I love the idea of Mathias in a waitor’s outfit I can’t handle him being a janitor omg. He may not be the best at cleaning but his bosses don’t have the heart to fire him, since he’s so happy go lucky and keeps the spirit of the club up (in the least, the bartender’s spirits). And he’s enamored with the piano but he’s never been able to play/learn it, which he’s fine with since he loves listening to it so much. Then Lovino comes along and Mathias falls in love all over again, but this time, with the pianist.

Ooh nice!! I’m always open to headcanons, especially with these two - it’s so hard to find other shippers sometimes 😂

I’ve heard of the Denmark headcanon before and I love the idea, but I haven’t heard the Romano one before! I love it, wow.. he would love playing piano like that. And I think there’s something like a piano battle, piano bar, something where basically two people play piano and insult each other in a battle of sorts. I can see him doing that too, just to let off steam :p
