And the fact that Rook’s voice was the first kind one he had heard after a year of captivity and torture.

A year of Zara and Calivan saying he’s a failure, that he’s a “useless abomination,” that nothing is waiting for him, that he’s “long dead.”

He tells Davrin that, in order to survive it all, he had to “shut down completely. Think nothing. Feel nothing. Except what you need to escape.”

And then Rook showed up to save him. And the first thing they said is, “I’m guessing you’re the reason we’re here.”

They opened door after door to help him escape, and it reminded him that there’s plenty waiting for him on the other side of this — including someone who doesn’t hesitate to show him kindness, even after realizing he’s possessed by a demon.

Lucanis is surprised to find you in the kitchen when he returns from a visit to Treviso. 

Typically, he and Bellara take turns cooking meals for the team, with an occasional assist from Emmrich or Neve. Davrin claims he’s only decent at stews and soups, while Harding has surmised that it’s better for her to stick to basic meals — and even then, Lucanis is tempted to supervise. And the last time Taash made a traditional Rivaini dish for everyone, it was so spicy that no one else could finish their portions. 

“What are you making?” he asks you, his gaze wary as he crosses the room.

Picking up on his tone, you laugh. “Don’t look so scared. I promise I won’t set the place on fire.”

A small smile tugs at his lips as he moves to stand beside you, peering down into the pot sitting on the magical stovetop. “It smells good,” he murmurs. “But you still didn’t answer my question.”

Resting your hip against the countertop, you tell him, “It’s cacio e pepe. You couldn’t tell?”

“Oh, I could. I just didn’t want to get my hopes up.” He closes his eyes and inhales, the scent taking him back to his childhood. “I didn’t realize you knew any Antivan recipes.”

“Just this one,” you tell him, glancing away. “I’ve been wanting to help out more —”

He raises an eyebrow. “You do plenty already.”

“— and I thought you would like it.”

The admission catches him by surprise, and he briefly finds himself at a loss for words. The same, unfortunately, cannot be said for Spite, whose voice seems to echo in the deep recesses of his mind. 

She learned to make it just for you, he whispers, sounding both amused and delighted. When Lucanis gives a small shake of his head, Spite merely snickers, pleased with himself.

Realizing that he’s now been quiet for much too long, Lucanis looks back up at you before grabbing a bowl and helping himself. It’s clear that you’re trying not to stare as he expertly twirls the noodles onto his fork and takes a bite. But your nervous gaze gives you away…

… until relief floods your expression when he smiles softly and murmurs, “It’s perfect.”

Crash Me Down (All Might x Reader)

I enjoy reading, writing, hiking, cooking, and yoga. I spend a lot of time at home, so most of my clothes are comfy sweaters, pajama pants, and fuzzy socks. I have six tattoos. I play board games and D&D. I like going out with friends, traveling, and exploring new places.
