Spirit Blossom Yone x Reader Headcanons
@judicia asked: if u would ever feel so inclined, to write spirit blossom yone x reader hc's, i would be, eternally fucking grateful,,,
[Ahh, I’m so tempted to buy Yone’s skin. He’s really fun, and he looks so...*chef’s kiss* God, I love him.]
Although he's been wandering the spirit realm for eons, Yone's never met a mortal like you. You're extremely attractive...uhh, to hungry azakanas, of course! That's totally what he meant.
When he stumbles upon you, fast asleep in the glade, he's bewildered by how reckless you are. Leaving yourself out in the open like that...well, I guess he'll just have to protect you.
And protect you he does--firmly planting himself between you and a strange, fearsome foe--until he finds out that the odd azakana is actually two fools in a trench coat. Yone groans in dismay, but you're too busy thinking about how cool he looked while brandishing his blades. You feel your face flush at the thought of him wrapping those strong arms around you instead...but you snap yourself out of your silly daydream as he starts to divulge his dark past.
As he recounts the tragic tale, his voice becomes distant, his gaze growing vacant and dim. He'd spent his entire life adhering to his duty--and for what? He couldn't save anyone...
Your blood turns to ice as Yone's lifeless expression contorts into a monstrous visage. His body warps--all teeth, and claws, and spikes, and gnarled flesh--as he cries out and bolts towards the mountains.
When Yone finally comes to his senses, he’s mortified. He put you in harm's way--how shameful; how careless! And yet, for some reason, instead of fear or hatred, he sees nothing but concern in your eyes.
Despite this, he knows that you have to part ways; he doesn’t want you getting hurt because of him. But deep down, he’s strangely...captivated by you--like a leaf caught in a harsh gust of wind.
A few weeks pass. Or maybe months? He’s not really sure--but he’s happy to see you again. Somehow, your smile lifts a weight off his shoulders, and it feels like he’s floating on air.
After you help him make peace with his brother, you and Yone become very close. He's never had the chance to be intimate before, always putting his sworn duty first--but now that you're together, he finally has a reason to let go, and live for himself.
Yone constantly writes little poems about you, but he's too shy to say them out loud...until a bit of goading from Yasuo convinces him to "suck it up and tell you how he feels."
Oh gods, I’m really doing this. He starts to tremble slightly as he practically chokes on his words--but as soon as he's finished, you throw your arms around him, and he melts into your loving embrace.
