Being reincarnated as a slime was the last thing you had ever expected, but it wasn’t all too bad… despite the fact that you haven’t seen any other sentient slimes since you’ve been in this world, which did make things a little lonely for you. However, that all changed as you heard about another sentient slime by the name of Rimuru, along with the town he and some other monsters were building. So of course your first thought was to go over there and see it for yourself!

Several days have passed since you left on your little journey, but since you’re a slime, you don’t really have to stop and rest very much, so you’ve been moving just about nonstop, only stopping to appreciate the scenery before you.

You were currently taking a short break in the woods, taking a minute to relax before moving again. However, you heard a couple voices nearby, which caught your attention. Curious, you followed the sound of the voices to find… a giant wolf and a slime, yet this one was blue, much different from your (color) self. They seemed to be talking amongst themselves as they walked through the woods.

“Wait… a sentient slime.. just like me. That must be him!” You thought to yourself, an exclamation mark appeared from your body for a moment before it disappeared again. “Maybe I should introduce myself..?” However, before you could even think of doing so, the wolf stopped walking, looking around a bit before his gaze landed upon where you were currently sitting still, making you flinch a bit as you felt his gaze on you.

“What is it, Ranga?”

“There’s someone else here,” the two made their way over to where you were, making you back up just a tad.

“I’m not here to hurt you, I promise!” You spoke up, jumping up for them to spot you. “I’m just trying to get somewhere.”

“A slime..?” You heard the other slime say, as if surprised.

“Yes, I’m a slime. You say that as if you haven’t seen one before,”

“Well, I haven’t met another sentient one like myself, actually.” You had to take a moment to process this, looking back at the blue slime before you. He could be who you were looking for!

“Wait… what is your name?” You suddenly asked.

“My name is Rimuru Tempest. Why do you ask?”

“You’re who I’m looking for!” At that, Ranga glared at you, as if you had some malicious intentions,

“N-Not in a bad way, I can assure you! I had heard of another sentient slime and I wanted to meet him, and now here we are. Sorry if I bothered you or anything.” You glanced down at the ground, but the next thing you knew, you heard a soft laugh, making you look back up.

“You know… I was not expecting to meet another slime like me, but I’m glad I’m not the only one. How about you come back with us? We can chat some more, and I’d like to get to know your story, if you’d be okay with that.” You had to take a moment to think about his words. He wanted to know more about you? Well this was certainly interesting.

“Are you sure..? We’ve only just met.”

“Of course I’m sure. I can tell you don’t really have anywhere else to be. Plus, you did tell me you were looking for me.” Oh yeah, you did tell him that.

“Well, you’ve got me there.”

“Then come on, let’s go.” He hopped up onto Ranga’s back, looking back at you as if expecting you to do the same. You were a little hesitant, but you jumped up onto the wolf’s back. Once ensuring you were ready, that you weren’t going to fall off, Ranga took off. You were in awe of his speed as he ran with you two on his back towards what would be considered your new home.

It’s been a little over a year since you met Rimuru and Ranga, and started living in Rimuru City. Once you had arrived in the city, your new slime friend had given you a name, as you didn’t have one before meeting him, which he named you (Y/n). After you were named, you became more powerful, yet you were still the same (color) slime as you have been. You and Rimuru had even told each other of your pasts and how you ended up in this world as slimes.

Rimuru has been helping you to train and help you with your newfound power, and with that, you two have grown fairly close. He’s even let you in on several of the meetings he’s attended. During that time, you have slowly developed feelings for the blue slime, and what you didn’t know was that he was developing the same feelings for you. A few of the others living in the city that were close to both of you could tell that you had feelings for each other and would occasionally tease you or ask if you had actually confessed yet.

“Y/n?” You were brought back from your thoughts as you heard a familiar voice call out your name. You looked over to see Rimuru approaching, in his human form.

“Oh, hey, what’s up?”

“Could you come with me real quick? There’s something i want to show you.”

“Sure!” You bounced over to him and into his arms, him now holding you as he carried you through the city. You were a little curious to where he was taking you, hoping it wasn’t going to be something bad like kicking you out after all this time.

“We’re almost there. I’m sure you’ll like it, Y/n.” You heard him say, a faint smile on his face as he continued walking with you. You noticed that no one was with him, not even Ranga, but you chose not to question it. After a few more minutes of walking in silence, you felt him stop walking before setting you back down on the ground. You looked around before looking up at the night sky, which was covered in stars.

“Rimuru..?”

“Yeah?” You looked over to see he changed back to his usual slime form.

“What did you bring me here for?”

“Don’t you recognize this place?” He asked you, making you look around a second time.

“Is this…?”

“Where we first met, Y/n.”

“Yeah.. what about it? You’re not here to kick me out are you?”

“Don’t be silly. I wouldn’t do anything like that to you. Actually, I brought you here to get away from everyone. To tell you something.”

“Oh..?”

“Truth is, I actually quite enjoy your company. I like being around you, training with you, talking with you, as cliche, sappy, or whatever you want to call it.”

“Well, just a little bit. Thats okay, though, cause i like being around you too, Rimuru.”

“I’m glad to hear it, but that’s not all i wanted to tell you.”

“What is it?”

“I really like you, Y/n. And it’s not just because you’re the only other sentient slime around.”

“You.. you like me? Like.. more than friends?” He nodded in response.

“I… feel the same way.” If you had a face, you would definitely be smiling right about now. You scoot closer to him and nuzzle him, but you were suddenly picked up and hugged as he turned to his human form.

“You have no idea how much that means to me, Y/n.” He hugged you a bit tighter, but not enough to hurt you. Or at least, not that he really could, though.

“Thank you for taking me in that day, and giving me a name.”

“You’re welcome, Y/n.”

“Could we… stay here for a little while longer? The others don’t have to know yet.”

Saiki was never the type to show off or try to impress anyone, as he just wants to be seen as an average person. However, that slightly changed when he met you, and he’s not entirely certain as to why. Since you two started dating, which had surprised both of you for different reasons, he had felt a small urge to impress you, such as clearing away dark rain clouds to avoid getting caught in the rain, making cool fire shows with his pyrokinesis, among other things. While you are impressed by these, you just want him to do whatever makes him feel comfortable around you.

So when Saiki had asked you to go out with him over the weekend, you had planned to just do something a little more mundane than anything. You had met up with him at the park by your house, and you decided to walk around for a while, you just talking about whatever came to mind while he just listened, he occasionally nodded to show that he was still paying attention, but occasionally ‘speaking up’ in your mind.

As you two walked towards your house now, which you had suggested to go back to your house and play games or something, you glanced around as if to make sure no one was around, before you looked back at Saiki.

“Hey, Saiki?” He glanced over at you, giving you a look of ‘go on’ even though he already knows what you want to ask him. He didn’t need his telepathy to figure out what you were about to say next,

“I’m curious… I know how you feel about not standing out and such, so you know you don’t have to impress me, right?”

“Yes, I am aware. Even I don’t really know what is making me feel this way. It’s only when around you that I feel like this.” He shrugged.

“Really?” He only nodded in response, “interesting… but, I know I’ve said this before but… I just want you to do whatever makes you feel comfortable around me.” You told him as you walked up to the door of your house, unlocking and opening up the door before making your way inside, Saiki following behind you.

“There’s a piece of cake in the fridge if you want it.” You told him as you set your things down. You looked over at him, and noticed he had immediately accepted your offer of cake, which made you laugh a bit.

‘It’s like you know when I’m coming over’

“Of course. We always keep something sweet in the house, if not for me, then definitely for you.” You then walked over to the couch, grabbing your controller before sitting down, Saiki sitting beside you now.

A few hours have passed as the two of you played video games, while Saiki was reading manga, though occasionally he would glance over at what you were doing, or give you advice if you needed help with certain bosses or other difficult tasks within the game.

As the two of you sat together, just spending time together doing mundane stuff like this, it only made Saiki like you and appreciate you more than he had before. He doesn’t really get to do mundane stuff like this, as someone usually needed his help, or just wanted to be around him despite just wanting to be alone.

‘Y/n.’

“Hmm?” You glanced over at him as you rest your head on his shoulder.

‘Thank you.’

“For what?”

‘Showing me that it’s okay to do mundane things together with you. It makes me feel… a little normal.’

“Oh! Well, you’re welcome.” You smiled faintly, then glanced over at the window.

“Oh shoot, it’s really that late?”

‘You’re just now noticing?’

“Well, yeah, I’ve been paying more attention to both you and my game.”

‘True. Fortunately it is the weekend, and neither of us have anything else to do, yes?’

“Yeah, you’re right. You can stay over here if you want, I wouldn’t mind.”

‘I’ll have to go grab a few things,’

“That’s fine, I’ll be here. Besides, you know my parents/guardian wouldn’t mind, they like you.”

‘I know.’

“Go get your things, and we can make some sweets or something,” Saiki nodded and the next thing you knew, he was gone. You laughed a bit, going back to your game until he came back. He set his things in your room for the time being.

Having finished your work for the time being, you decided to step out of the Hellsing manor to get some air and stretch your legs. As the sun was setting, you decided to take a little walk around the outside of the manor, occasionally greeting any other workers you had come across. You’ve been working for the Hellsing organization for a few years now, yet you tend to work behind the scenes instead of out on the field, and it was close to your apartment, so that was a plus.

You were brought back from your thoughts as you feel as if you’re being watched, making you look around to find… a fluffy black wolf dog staring right at you with red eyes. Red eyes? How odd. The wolf dog had been patrolling the outside of the manor, or at least, until he spotted you, now making his way over to you. You weren’t sure whether to run or stay, but… you had a feeling he wasn’t going to hurt you, despite how he looked.

Once in front of you, the wolf dog stopped and looked right at you, as if to get a better look at you. Curious, you held your hand out to pet his head, and surprisingly, he let you. You smiled faintly and kept petting his head.

“You know… you kind of remind me of someone.” You mumbled, just loud enough for him to hear you. The wolf dog simply tilts his head slightly out of curiosity.

“Yeah, you kind of remind me of Alucard, but.. that can’t be… right?” You chuckled a bit in response, pulling your hand back to your side. What you didn’t know… was that the wolf dog in front of you, was indeed Alucard. He had gotten bored of just being in his chambers, so he got out and decided to use his shapeshifting to see what was happening around the manor, and see who was around. You know about Alucard since you’ve seen him around a couple times before, and you have talked with him more than once.

“Shoot, it’s getting a bit late, I should get back home.” You spoke up, looking up at the sky as it started getting darker. Fortunately for you, your apartment wasn’t too far from here, but Alucard has now taken it upon himself to make sure you get back safely. Why? Well, not even he really knows. So when you started walking, he followed after you, keeping close to you to keep others from bothering you, while you kept a hand on his head/close to his neck as if to assure him that you were still there.

“Thanks for walking me home, you really didn’t have to do that.” You turned to face Alucard once you were in front of your apartment. He only nodded and turned to leave, giving you a glance before taking off.

“See you tomorrow.” You smiled faintly and walked into your apartment, getting ready for bed, hoping to see the wolf dog again tomorrow. Alucard, on the other hand, knew he would see you more often now. You were nice to him, and you weren’t scared of him, which intrigued him.

The next day, you had finished up your work rather quickly. Only because there actually wasn’t much to do, which was a little surprising to you considering there was usually a lot of work to be done, but you didn’t mind too much. You could use this extra time to look for the wolf dog from yesterday. You wish you had known his name so you could call for him. Though, it didn’t take very long for you to find him, as you saw him patrolling around a more shade covered area this time, so you made your way over to him, a smile on your face.

Since then, Alucard has been meeting you in the same spot just about every day, in his wolf dog form, as he wasn’t entirely ready to tell you the truth just yet. Plus, he was using this time as a way to get to know about you, and maybe to get a little kiss on the forehead and head pats here and there… but he wouldn’t admit such a thing, no.

However, he knew that he would have to tell you eventually, along with his feelings towards you though that was going to be a little more difficult than the first thing, so that’s what he was going to do the next time he saw you. Alucard waited for you in your usual meeting spot, looking over as he sensed your presence and heard your footsteps a few seconds after.

“Alucard..?” You were a little surprised to see him here instead of the wolf dog.

“You weren’t expecting me now, hmm?”

“Not really, but I don’t mean that in a bad way..! I’m just a bit surprised is all.”

“I know, you were expecting someone else.”

“A wolf dog, yeah! He has such pretty black fur and red eyes. Kind of reminds me of you.”

“Is that so?” He chuckled softly in response. “Well, about that,” and before you could ask what he meant, he disappeared in a cloud of black smoke and when the smoke disappeared, there stood your wolf dog companion.

“It’s you!!” You exclaimed, your eyes wide from shock. “Why didn’t I think about that sooner? Well, I thought he looked similar to you but I didn’t think it was you!”

“Ah, yes, there is still plenty you don’t know about me, my dear Y/n.” He changed back, a faint smirk on his face. “But I know quite a bit about you.”

“So you’ve been the one walking me home every day..”

“Indeed I have.”

“Well, I just want to say thank you.” You looked up at him with a soft smile on your face, “I really do appreciate that.”

“It was no problem at all, Y/n. I want to thank you for the company you’ve given me. You weren’t absolutely terrified of me, even in my other form.”

“If you really wanted me to spend time with you like this, you know you only needed to ask, Alucard.”

“I suppose.”

“But… you’re welcome. I enjoyed spending time with you, even if I wasn’t aware it was you in the first place. I’d still like to spend time with you.”

“Good.” He seemed a bit.. relieved? as though he was unsure whether you’d want to be around him anymore. As much as he wanted to tell you how he felt, he figured he should hold off on doing that for now. He held a gloved hand out to you.

“Now let’s get you home, shall we? It is getting rather late, hmm?”

“Yeah, let’s.” You took his hand into your own, a soft smile on your face as you walked with him, him keeping you safe from harm as usual, as you talked about whatever came to mind, whether it was about work or something else, Alucard listened rather intently as you two walked.

The walk was only about a few minutes, but as you approached your apartment, you felt a little… sad? You didn’t really want to leave him yet, but you knew he had things to do and you were sure Integra would need him for some mission soon.

“Y/n, you’ve gone quiet.” Ah, he’s noticed.

“Oh, uh, yeah, I was just.. thinking about something.”

“Oh..?”

“Well.. I don’t want this time to come to an end yet. I want to spend more time with you.”

“Is that so?” You nodded, looking up at him now, “I didn’t think you’d want to spend time with a vampire like me,”

“Well.. you see.. I really like you, Alucard. I know this may seem odd, or maybe even sudden, considering we’ve only really talked and spent time together a few times aside from the past few weeks, but it’s true.”

“You are an interesting one, my dear Y/n. For you see, I feel the same way.”

“Wait really?”

“I do. I was actually going to tell you sooner, but it seems you’ve beaten me to it.”

“This is wonderful..!” You turned to face him and hugged him, making him flinch a bit in response, but he hugged you back after a few moments.

“Hey, has anyone seen Y/n?”

“Not since we docked and left for supplies. Why do you ask?”

“No particular reason.”

“I’m sure they’re probably just taking a nap somewhere! They’re almost as bad as Zoro.”

“I heard that.” And with that said, Usopp made his way down to his workshop to avoid any possible confrontation/fights. It did worry him a little bit that no one has seen you in a while, especially considering you get into some… odd places when you nap. You’ve even managed to get on top of the fridge and fell asleep there!

Everything was quiet in the workshop as Usopp sat down on the floor as per usual, and started working on his next project, only occasionally glancing up to grab the next tool he would need before looking back down. Or rather… everything was quiet until he heard shuffling around in the room, making him flinch and look up from what he was working on.

“What was that?” He stood up, looking around the room for a moment before his gaze landed on something, or rather someone, in particular: you. You were curled up in the corner of Usopp’s workshop, in a bit of an interesting sleeping position.

“Y/n? So that’s where you’ve been hiding..” he mumbled as he made his way over to you.

“You can’t keep doing this, Y/n, hiding in odd places just to take a nap. I don’t mind if you nap here but at least give me a warning, you know?” He knew you couldn’t hear him at this moment, as you were fast asleep, but he knew he would have to give you a gentle reminder once you got up.

“Alright, let’s get you back to your bed, cause that… can’t be too comfortable.”

“No..” you mumbled in your sleep as you felt him shake you a little, to wake you up.

“Come on, Y/n, you’ll be more comfortable in your bed.”

“No.. comfy..” you curled up more as you lightly swat his hand away after searching for it in your sleep.

“But you’ll be comfier in your bed.” You then grabbed his hand, which confused him a little bit, but held your hand back.

“That’s cute, but that’s not going to stop me-“ and before Usopp could say anything else, or attempt to pick you up from the floor, you had pulled him down to the floor with you, making him yelp in surprise.

“Y/n..” He sighed a bit and pat your head, to which you responded by cuddling up to him.

“Well, now I’m going to guess you’re not letting me go, huh..?” No response except for your soft breathing.

“You… went back to sleep that quickly?! Well, i guess to be fair you were pretty much asleep the whole time.” Usopp then proceeded to keep you close to him, glancing back down at you

“Seeing as I don’t have much of a choice, I suppose.. a nap would do me some good as well. Maybe I can come up with something inspiration in my dreams.. who knows.” He then closed his eyes, holding you close to him as he leaned over to kiss your forehead.

As soon as Leon had come in to work, he had a feeling it was not going to be a good day. He was nearly late as his alarm went off later than usual and he couldn’t find his keys, which were hiding from his view, got coffee spilled on his jacket, and a few other things that happened throughout the rest of the day, including the air conditioning system going out for a few hours, which made the whole place unbearably hot. The only person that was decent to him today was Hunnigan, but that was after she noticed he wasn’t having a good morning.

So when it was time to leave, Leon did not think twice about it. He grabbed his things and left work with one thing on his mind: coming back home to you. He knew you would be there for him, to comfort him. As soon as he got home, to your shared home, he made his way inside. Once inside, he shut the door behind him and set his things aside.

“Welcome home, Leon.” You called out to him from the kitchen, once you had heard the door open and shut.

“Thanks,” he answered as he made his way to the kitchen, walked over to you, and hugged you from behind, which made you chuckle a bit in response and look back at him.

“Rough day?” he only nodded in response, nuzzling against the top of your head.

“I’m sorry to hear that, Leon. Do you maybe want to talk about it..? I’ll try to help make it better.”

“Alright,” he was a little hesitant, but he let you go from the hug, so you turned around to face him. You then proceeded to hand him a bowl.

“Here, I made some cowboy soup for dinner. Food always helps after a long day, or at least.. I think it does.” Leon was quiet for a moment as he took the bowl from you, before he asked,

“…why is it called that?” This only made you chuckle in response as you shrugged.

“Honestly I have no idea. I like the sound of it though.”

“It does have a ring to it”

“I think it’s based around what cowboys ate, taking canned vegetables and putting them over an open fire. Something like that.”

“Huh… you learn something new everyday I suppose,” you laughed a bit and nodded, making your way over to the table.

“Now let’s sit down and eat, and you tell me about your day.” You two sat at the table, you listening to Leon talk about his day, you occasionally nodded to acknowledge him and that you were listening, and you occasionally said something in response.

“It seems you had a rather… fun day at work,” you shook your head, “but at least it’s over now. Let’s clean up and we can cuddle on the couch, yeah?”

“Alright,” he chuckled a bit and stood up, helping you clean up the dining room table and with the dishes.

“Go get into something more comfortable, and we can find something to watch or something, okay?” Leon only nodded and made his way to your shared room, changing from his current outfit to a simple t shirt and pants before making his way back to the living room, where you were waiting for him. You smiled faintly as you heard him step into the room, looking back at him.

“Better?”

“Yes, thank you.” He made his way over to you and sat down beside you, wrapping an arm around your shoulders and bringing you closer to him.

“Y/n.”

“Hmm?”

“…thanks. For making my day a little better.”

“Of course, Leon, it’s what I’m here for.” You leaned up and kissed his cheek, but of course he took this opportunity to kiss you. It was just a short, simple peck, though, you didn’t mind.

“I love you, Y/n.”

“Hey Laios?” You looked up at the taller male as you sat beside him.

“Hmm?” He looked over at you now.

“I know you have a lot of knowledge on monsters, so I have an odd question for you.” Laios tilts his head slightly, curious to what you could possibly want to ask him, especially since it’s monster related.

“If you could hug any monster without consequences, like they are unable to hurt you, which would it be and why?”

“That… is a good question, Y/n! Of course, you’d have to factor in a few things like scents, how they feel, what it would feel like to be held by them, and a few other things.”

“True.” You chuckled a bit in response. “So? What do you think your answer would be? Personally, I think I would want to hug one that would feel soft to the touch, maybe something with feathers or fur.”

“Makes sense,” Laios nodded, looking down at you. “What would that be?”

“Hmm… I would say maybe something like a warg, phoenix or a dire wolf,” you listed off, looking back at him with a smile on your face. Laios only smiled and nodded.

“Fair enough, those do seem like good choices.” He tapped his chin in thought, as if taking a moment to decide on his own answer. “Especially considering two of those are canines,”

“That is true.” You chuckled a bit. “I wasn’t even really thinking about that, honestly.” He then went quiet for a moment, taking into consideration what he would choose for his own answer. Something that would feel nice to the touch, and be held by… there were a few options that fit into that category, but there was one that fit this even better.

“You.”

“Huh?” You looked up at him, a little confused.

“I would rather hug you.”

“Me?”

“Well, yeah.” And with that, you were pulled into a hug, which made you laugh a bit and hug him back.

“Are you calling me a monster, Laios?” You asked in a playful tone.

“No, just that I would hug you over anything or anyone else.”

“Is that so?”

“Of course.” He smiled more and hugged you tighter, not enough to hurt you, though.

“And why is that?”

“Well, you’re nice to hold and to be held by… and you always smell nice. And you’re overall my favorite person.”

“Am I? Thank you, Laios.” You had a soft blush on your face now, not expecting such an answer from him.

“So if you were a monster… and I could hug you without consequences, then I would. But why would I think about that, when I can hug you right here and now?”

“I suppose that’s fair.” You smiled faintly as you leaned up and kissed his cheek.

“You’re my favorite person to hug, too, Laios.”

“I’m happy to hear that, Y/n.”

“Come on you two, we’re leaving!” You could hear Marcille call out to you two, which made you let go of each other.

You and Liam have been friends since he and his sisters came to Sun Haven, you being the first person aside from Lucia and Nathaniel to welcome them and become friends with them. Liam was very shy around you and the other Sun Haven residents, but after spending time with you and becoming closer friends, he’s slowly getting out his shell, and his sisters adore you, always happy to see you when you come by.

Occasionally you come by and bake with Liam, like you were today. You were currently headed to Liam’s place, waving to a few of the residents as you walked, humming a bit. There was something else you were going to do while you were there, and that was finally confessing your feelings to Liam, as you may or may not have gained feelings for the baker as you and him have gotten close.

“Liam!” You called out to him as you saw him at the bakery. He turned around, dropping what he was doing, a shy smile on his face.

“Oh! Hello Y/n. What brings you here today?”

“Well, I was hoping we could bake together again today.”

“Really? I would love to.”

“Great!”

“What did you have in mind today, Y/n?”

“I was thinking of a pudding cake! I haven’t had one in a while and I was thinking about it the other day.”

“Sounds like a plan to me.” And with that, you and Liam got the ingredients together, him getting the ingredients for the cake portion, and you grabbing the ingredients for the pudding portion.

“Have you made one of these before, Y/n?” He asked as he set everything down on the counter, separating the ingredients from each other.

“I have! It’s been a while, though. I do have a recipe for it, if you want it?”

“Sure, I’ll have a look at it.” You nodded and grabbed a piece of paper from your pocket which was folded up, and handed it to him. Liam unfolded the paper, looking at the ingredients and instructions for a few minutes before he nodded.

“Okay, that doesn’t seem… too complicated, let’s do it.”

“Alright!” You smiled softly and the two of you set to work. As you worked on getting the pudding together, you occasionally glanced over at Liam, who had a soft smile on his face as he followed the instructions, occasionally glancing over at the paper you had brought over. Fortunately for you, you practically had the recipe memorized, so it didn’t take you long to finish what you were doing.

“Need any help?” You asked as you set down the bowl of pudding you had just finished.

“Could you read off the instructions for me, please?” You nodded and read the instructions off the paper, like what ingredients goes in next and which ones go together in a bowl, him following your instructions as you read them off.

“Alright, that should do it… right?” Liam looked over at you as he finished the last step.

“Yep, that’s it. Now to put it in the oven and just… wait.”

“Oh? What about that?” He pointed to the bowl sitting beside you.

“That is the fun part! Or at least, I think it is. Once the cake is finished baking, you poke holes into it and the pudding gets into the cake that way, but also stays on the top.”

“Really?”

“Have you never made one of these before?” You tilt your head slightly.

“Not really, no.” He rubbed the back of his head.

“Well, now you have.” You opened up the oven and set the cake into the oven before closing the oven door.

“Now to wait.” You decided to take the time to help Liam clean up, occasionally glancing over at him. It was now or never.

“Liam?”

“Hmm?” He looked over at you.

“There’s something I need to tell you.” You had finished cleaning up and made your way over to him.

“Yes? What is it?” He seemed a bit nervous. You took his hands into your own, looking at him.

“Since you moved here to Sun Haven, I have… developed feelings for you, and it just got more and more intense as we spent more time together, and I just… wanted to tell you that I love you, Liam.” Liam was quiet for a moment, processing your words. You could’ve sworn you saw tears forming in his eyes

“I’m sorry..! I didn’t mean to upset you-!”

“No! No, I’m not upset..!” Liam pressed a kiss to your cheek. “Quite the opposite, actually! I’m glad you feel the same way. I’ve been wanting to tell you for a while but every time I thought about it, I always backed out.” He rubbed the back of his head, a faint blush on his face.

“Well, I’m glad you feel the same, Liam.” You smiled softly, then let go of him before making your way over to the oven, opening the door to check on the cake.

“Looks good to me.” Liam nodded in agreement and slipped on a pair of oven mitts before taking the cake out of the oven, setting it down on a pair of oven pads.

“It smells amazing,”

“Of course it does, you made it after all!” You looked at him, smiling.

“Now for the fun part,” you grabbed a wooden spoon and took the end of it, which was a little more round, and poked several holes into the cake. You set the spoon down and picked up the bowl of pudding you had prepared earlier, and used the wooden spoon you were using a moment ago to spread the pudding across the entire top of the cake.

“There we go. Now it’s ready for the fridge, and we can enjoy it later. Well, let it cool off before putting it in the fridge.”

“Sounds good to me.” Liam went over to you, looking down at the cake you had made together, a soft smile on his face.

“Thank you for coming over to bake with me, Y/n.” You smiled and hugged him, kissing his forehead.

“You’re welcome, Liam. We should do this again soon.”

“Why is it that you always want to sit in my lap?”

“Because you’re comfortable?”

“But I’m much shorter and smaller than you, Y/n!”

“So?” You looked over at Chilchuck as you heard him sigh. He never understood why you would want to sit on his lap, considering you’re a tall-man, and bigger than him, and he wasn’t much of a fan of PDA.

You and the rest of Laios’ party were currently taking a rest after a long day, or what you could assume was a long day, of adventuring through the dungeon. It was now after dinner and the rest of the party was getting ready to sleep, but you just couldn’t get to sleep, like you weren’t that tired yet.

“It’s not like the others will see, they’re all asleep in the other room.” You proceeded to sit on his lap, chuckling a bit as he mumbled something you couldn’t hear, glancing away from you.

“You know how I feel about relationships in parties.”

“I am fully aware, but I will not let that bother me.”

“I don’t get it. Why do you want to be so close to me?”

“Because you’re comfortable, and I enjoy being around you, even if you can be a little grumpy at times.”

“Wha- I am not!”

“Then what is this right now?” You said in a slightly playful tone.

“…you’re annoying.” Chilchuck mumbled, just loud enough for only you to hear him.

“I know but you love me.” He made a small noise of annoyance, before glancing away from you, the room now filled with the sound of silence as the two of you cuddled, you resting your head on top of his. You decide to break the silence by asking him a question,

“Hey, Chilchuck..?”

“What?”

“Why are you so against relationships in parties..?”

“Why wouldn’t I be? Have you seen what happens when relationships are involved? Either the party gets split up or stupid drama happens and ends up getting the party involved and hurt. I’ve seen it before, and it’s not good.”

“I see..” you frowned a bit and looked down at him.

“Why do you ask?”

“Because I’m curious, and I just want you to know… I really want this to work.”

“I know you do.” While he wouldn’t admit it out loud, he wanted this to work out as well, because he does love you, but he doesn’t want anything bad to happen between you two since you’re in the same party.

“You know I won’t let anything come between us, right?”

“…I know.” You leaned down and kissed his forehead.

“Wh- hey!” You laughed a bit as you watched his face turn a light shade of pink.

“Yeah, yeah, I love you too, now get some sleep dammit. It’s going to be another long day tomorrow and I don’t need you getting tired and hurt because you didn’t get enough sleep.” You smiled softly and nodded, moving off of his lap and over onto your bedroll which had been on the floor beside his. You got under the covers and he did the same, but in his own bedroll.

You and Phoenix have been together for several months now, nearing a year. You tend to help Phoenix when Maya or anyone else is unavailable to help him, and when you don’t have anything else to do with your work, since you like helping him when you can.

You were reading through a file, picking out some papers which you deemed useful or important for the upcoming trial, and setting them down on the table in front of you.

“Thanks for the help, Y/n,” you heard a familiar voice say to you, making you look up from the files you were reading, a faint smile on your face.

“You’re welcome, Phoenix. If I weren’t around, do you think your office would look as tidy as it does now?”

“Who knows?” You both laughed a bit in response, you shaking your head a bit as you closed the folder in your hand.

“You nervous for tomorrow?” You asked, handing him the packet of paperwork that you had gathered for him.

“I always am, but I won’t let them know that.”

“Of course you don’t, and that’s a good thing.” You stood up and made your way over to him, slightly adjusting his tie which was coming loose.

“Besides, I have you to help me with organization.”

“That is true. At least now you’re not all over the place, scrambling around for evidence or anything.”

“Well, I mean I still am, just not as badly now.”

“Fair enough I suppose.”

“We should probably get to sleep soon, it’s getting pretty late,” you pointed out as you looked out the window.

“Yeah, got an early morning tomorrow.”

“True, now come on.” You put the papers you had been sorting away where he would be able to find them the next morning before you two made your way to your shared room, to get some much needed sleep.

It was now the morning of the trial, and you and Phoenix were now walking into the courthouse, him with a stack of papers which you had organized for him, and you were empty handed, as you were just here as support.

“You’ll do great in there, Phoenix, just like always. I’ll see you later.” You leaned up and kissed his cheek before you made your way into the courtroom to find a place to sit. Phoenix watched you leave, a soft smile on his face. He was always so happy to have you by his side, you were always so helpful and supportive of him.

“Right, let’s do this.” He said to no one in particular, making his way over to his client, who had been waiting for him, before the two made their way into the courtroom after a brief moment to discuss a few things before the trial began.

It’s finally over. The trial which has taken him three days, is finally over and he got the not guilty verdict that he had been working for his client. After a brief congratulations, the two went their own way, Phoenix now looking for you.

“Phoenix!” And speaking of you, here you are.

“Hey, there you are.” You smiled as you made your way over to him, pulling him into a hug, which caught him off guard at first, before hugging you back.

“You did great in there! I knew you would.”

“Of course, I always do my best, Y/n.”

“I know that. Now come here, I have something for you,” and before he could even say anything, you leaned closer to him, lightly grabbing onto his tie and pulling him closer to you, and kissed him, which he definitely wasn’t expecting, but wasn’t complaining, as he reciprocated the kiss, holding you close to him. The moment didn’t last long, as you two remembered you were in the middle of a public space, which caused you two to pull away.

“Y/n.”

“Yes, Phoenix?”

“I just realized something.”

“Hmm?”

“That… was our first kiss.”

“…oh shoot you’re absolutely right. I’m… surprised it’s taken this long.”

“You and me both.”

“I guess I just didn’t think much about it?” You both shrugged, laughing a bit in response.

“You know…” you started, placing your hands on your hips, “I wouldn’t mind another,”

“Of course. Let’s wait until we’re in a less public place, alright?”

Running… it’s all you’ve been doing for what felt like ages, just running from this entity that’s been following you. You don’t know what it wants, or what it truly looks like, but it wants something from you, yet you’re not sure what, nor did you want to know.

You were suddenly stopped in your tracks as you bumped into something, making you fall back and onto the ground. You looked up to see the entity in front of you, staring at you with pale red eyes. Your eyes widened as you backed away, yet the entity followed, and the next thing you knew, everything went dark…

You sat up, eyes wide with fear. You wanted to scream, but nothing came out. You immediately looked around the room, slowly calming down but your heart was still pounding.

“Another nightmare…” you sighed softly and looked beside you, not seeing Undertaker beside you. You figured he must have fallen asleep elsewhere, or still awake. You got out of bed, slipping on your slippers before leaving the room.

Nightmares were not a common thing for you, but as of late, you’ve been having fairly bad experiences with them. You don’t really remember much aside from running away from some evil looking shadow entity, as cliche as that sounds. You don’t know what’s causing it, or why you’re having this similar dream over and over, but it’s getting annoying real fast.

“Undertaker?” You called out as you walked down the hallway, but not getting any response. “Hmm..” you kept walking down the hallway, until you walked into another room, which had a few coffins around, a couple on the walls, and one smack dab in the middle of the room.

“Even when he’s not working, he’s got them around.” You shook your head, chuckling a bit in amusement as you made your way to the coffin in the middle of the room.

“I figured I would find you here, sleeping like the dead.” You looked down to find Undertaker asleep in the coffin. You nudged him, attempting to wake him, but no response.

“Geez, you really are dead asleep,” you then proceeded to climb into the coffin with him, now lying on top of him. After a moment of silence, you heard him chuckle, him now wrapping his arms around you.

“…were you awake this whole time?”

“No, I was awake when I heard your little joke,”

“Of course that would wake you up.” You playfully rolled your eyes.

“So. What brings you to my coffin, my sweet Y/n?”

“I… had a nightmare. Again.”

“Again?” You could’ve sworn you heard a faint hint of surprise and concern in his voice, but you shrugged it off.

“Yeah…”

“Would you like to talk about it?”

“Well, I don’t remember much aside from running from this weird shadow entity that always seems to catch up with me regardless of what I do. That’s when I wake up, when it catches me.”

“How… eerie. Is that it?”

“Yeah, that’s all i remember, unfortunately. Do you have any idea what it could mean..?”

“I have absolutely no idea, my dear.” Undertaker shrugged, taking a moment to think about it… before shaking his head. “Unless… it may be you being afraid of death? Possibly? Since you said it always catches up to you in the end.”

“That is terrifying to think about, thanks.”

“Anytime, Y/n.” He chuckled a bit, now running his fingers through your hair, which felt nice. You sighed softly in content, resting your head on his chest, feeling his long nails gently scratching your scalp, him being careful not to hurt you as he did so.

“…I’m sorry to have woken you up.”

“Don’t be, I’m here whenever you need me, regardless of what time it is, or what it is.”

“Thank you.” You leaned up and kissed his cheek.

“You’re welcome, Y/n.” Everything was silent for a few moments, before you spoke up

“Undertaker?”

“Hmm?”

“Why are you sleeping in a coffin?”

“Do you even need to ask, my dear? I got comfortable and fell asleep.”

“Of course you did. That would explain why you weren’t in bed.”

“Did you want to move back to the bedroom?”

“No, no, I’m comfortable now.”

“Get some rest now, Y/n, and I’ll be here if you have another nightmare. Alright?”

“Okay, okay.” You nodded, closing your eyes, eventually falling asleep as Undertaker continued playing with your hair. He continued doing so until you fell asleep. He leaned closer and kissed your forehead, his arms moved to keep you close to him.
