GRACE ASHCROFT post-canon, are you married? are you just dating? who knows, workaholic grace, aeon mentioned.

Working in the FBI, you knew that date nights were going to be practically impossible. You'd accepted that fact, making plans with Grace when you both had time off. Though, your girlfriend was a bit of a workaholic, always glued to her laptop and doing stuff even when it's supposed to be her day off.

It was charming, and you were more than happy to just lounge in bed all day with her while she worked. It wasn't your typical romantic date, but you were okay with it.

And then she came home with a child. You do not know where this child came from, but her name was Emily, and Grace insisted that you guys adopt her. Emily seemed sweet, and you had such a hard time telling Grace no.

With a daughter, date nights became nonexistent. It's not Emily's fault, and it's not Grace's fault, either.

It just naturally came to be that way, with Emily eager to be included in everything the two of you did. She struggled to make friends, and you didn't want her feeling left out just because you wanted to spend time with your... girlfriend? Wife? You're not entirely sure what you guys are, actually.

Besides, Emily was a delight to be around. She brought a new life to your relationship with Grace, and you'd really started to feel like a family.

But Emily was very much aware of how you wanted to spend a little alone time with Grace. She knows you would never exclude her, which is why she suddenly asked if she could stay with Leon for the weekend.

"He's all sad and mopey because Ada is busy with work, so I'm gonna have him take me to the amusement park and force him to have fun." She had said, a sheer look of determination on her face, "So you gotta make sure mom has fun, too."

You make a mental note to buy her those books she'd been saving up for with her allowance.

With your daughter away for the weekend, the only thing you had to worry about was getting Grace away from work long enough to actually go on a date. You'd thought it'd be a bit difficult, but turns out all you had to do was tell her you wanted to take her out on a date and she was suddenly putting her laptop away.

It wasn't anything fancy like dinner at a nice restaurant or some kind of amusement park. Just a simple walk in the local park, and some ice cream from the new shop that opened in town.

But god, it's the best date you've ever been on.

THE TRICKSTER pre-fog, songwriter!reader, jiwoon mildly slanders yunjin im so sorry, mentions of murder,

Dating Jiwoon was really odd. Your relationship wasn't publicly announced, but neither of you ever bothered hiding it, either. Jiwoon loved showing you off, always including you in posts on his socials, mentioning times you two have spent together in interviews...

Most of the attention that came from dating Jiwoon was surprisingly positive.

His fans seemed happy that he found someone, with many of them gushing over the photos that he posts. There are some who send death threats, and some who try to slander your name in any way they can but... you try your best to ignore those types of people. They're just a loud minority, and you've noticed that they tend to disappear of the internet for whatever reason.

The only issue with your relationship was... well, the lack of time you actually get to spend with him. Sure, you got to work with him, being a songwriter and all, but that wasn't what you wanted. You wanted to go out with him, to talk to him outside of song making.

And with him being an idol, that was far easier said than done. If he wasn't in the studio making music, he was off performing, or hosting some variety show, or going out in the dead of night to practice. You knew that spending time together would be difficult, and you were ready to put effort into making things work, but god... it still sucks.

The last date you went on was shortly before the new year, and it had been cut short because some of his fans spotted the two of you and it caused this whole commotion.

You'd honestly come to accept that you probably won't be going on a date with him again until the holidays, so you were a bit surprised when Jiwoon showed up at your place in the middle of the day.

He's supposed to be working, you were well aware of that. Yunjin had even sent you a text telling you to send him off if he showed up at your place, talking about how he needed to be focused on his next comeback.

"Yunjin needs to get a life," Jiwoon had mumbled during the drive to the restaurant he'd apparently booked. You're not entirely sure why Jiwoon hates Yunjin so much, considering she's the one who made him an idol, but... you think it's best to not ask.

Instead, you're going to focus on the fact that Jiwoon had planned a surprise lunch date. It gets your heart racing, knowing that he seemingly missed you as much as you missed him.

"You could've waited until you finished the album, y'know," You comment, absently staring at the way your fingers are interlocked with his before glancing out the window of the car.

His face scrunches up a bit, like the mere idea of waiting got on his nerves, "If I wait another day to spend time with you, I'll kill someone."

You're fairly certain that's a joke, even though he's always so serious when he says it. He makes comments like that often, so you have to assume he's just got a morbid sense of humor.

"Mm, that would be awful," You hum, a small smile on your face, "Guess I gotta stick by your side to make sure that doesn't happen."

And there's this small smile on Jiwoon's face at your words.

BRAHMS HEELSHIRE canon, very clingy brahms, maybe ooc?? i havent watched the movie in a few years.

Given the fact that you lived with Brahms' fulltime, you wouldn't think it'd be difficult to spend time with him. Brahms thinks so too, expecting to be able to cling to your side all day.

But you're the only person in the home to take care of everything. He refuses to let anyone else even get near, except for the guy who delivers groceries. And even he's on thin ice, with the way he boldly flirts with you.

Your days are busy taking care of the home. You make breakfast for both you and Brahms, and then spend a good portion of your day just cleaning the place up. You dust, you empty out traps, you've even taken to tending to the bushes and garden because they've gotten a bit out of hand.

By the time you actually have time to spare, it's basically the end of the day and you just make him dinner and send him off to bed with a quick kiss. Brahms hates it. He hates how you're depriving him of your attention.

You wake up early in the morning to the borderline suffocating feeling of arms tightly wrapped around you, keeping you pressed up against Brahms. His face is buried in your shoulder, his fingers digging into your skin like he's terrified you'll disappear if he loosens his grip.

This isn't the first time you've woken up to him in your bed, and you seriously doubt it'll be the last.

"Brahms," Your murmur, voice thick with sleep as you run your fingers through his hair, hoping it'll wake him up, "C'mon, baby, you gotta let me go."

Brahms just clings to you harder, if that's even possible. He presses himself against you until you're not entirely sure where you end and he begins, keeping you trapped against him as he murmurs quietly against your skin, "No."

His voice lacked the usual child-like pitch, just a deep rumble as he clings to you. You can't help but sigh just a bit. It's not like you had a lot of stuff planned today. Maybe a quick check around the place to make sure it was clean, and to check the rat traps. You couldn't do anything stuck in bed like this, though.

"Brahms," You repeat, tone taking on a bit of a firm note, hoping that maybe he'll let you go.

But the man was stubborn, and there's no way he was going to let you go. You've deprived him of your attention for days, and he's just taking what you owe him. Just shut up and deal with it.

So for the first few hours of the day, you were trapped in bed. He only lets you out when you start complaining about being hungry, but even then he's clinging to you in the kitchen. He's not going to give you a single chance to slip away from him, no matter how hard you might try.

SEPHIROTH pre-crisis with some vague canon, secret relationships, zack fair is the wingman of all time.

You'd always expected that dating Sephiroth would be difficult. He was Midgar's most wanted bachelor, and you doubt Shinra would ever let that man date anybody, not when they made money off of the idea of being able to date him.

You never thought you'd be the one to end up dating Sephiroth. An odd occurrence of coincidences led to your relationship with the man, and you both thought it would be best to keep it a secret. Nobody knows, except for one single man.

Zack Fair. And the only reason Zack knew is because he put context clues together. Context clues that nobody else has noticed, thankfully. Not even Genesis has noticed, which is just a little shocking.

Going on dates with Sephiroth was, unfortunately, impossible. He's the most recognized man on the planet, and disguising him was pointless because there's always one person who manages to see through it. The risk of being recognized stressed him out, and he hated the attention he got, so you just... never went out on dates.

It's something you would love to do, really, but at the end of the day, you're just happy to be able to date the man. Spending time with him, even if it's just sneaking quick kisses in the empty staircase of Shinra HQ, was more than enough for you.

Zack thought differently. He saw the way you and Sephiroth would stare at each other, and he just knew you two needed some alone time. It's how he ended up cooking up a plan. That plan involved hunting down a small restaurant, one that not many people know about.

And then he had to swear the owners of the place to secrecy, going as far as to promise to work there for the remainder of the year to bring some attention to the place. When he secured the restaurant, he then came up with different plans to keep Angeal and Genesis busy so they wouldn't question why Sephiroth wasn't around.

When everything was perfect, he cornered you, and told you that you and Sephiroth were going out on a date. You could barely get a word in before he was dragging you along. One minute, you were in Shinra HQ. The next, you and your boyfriend had miraculously ended up in a cozy restaurant without anyone noticing.

You don't know how Zack did all of this. You don't know why he'd go out of his way to do this, but you're incredibly grateful.

Sephiroth, though a bit awkward, was just as happy to be on this date with you. There's this small smile on his face as he speaks to you, his gaze never once straying from you for too long. You were the center of the universe, and he'd been dreaming about going on a date with you like this since you first started dating.
