So, since your now doing trigun can I request a Meryl Stryfe full alphabet?
Meryl Stryfe fluff alphabet
A/n: I realised I haven't written anything for Trigun yet and I also haven't done any fluff alphabet prompts yet. So, two birds, one stone. Thank you for requesting, I hope you enjoy!
A = Activities (Things they like doing with you)
Meryl is a little embarrassed to admit it, but she really likes having you do her disaster reports with her. Whether you help her write them, or just sit next to her while she does them herself, just having you nearby is almost enough to make her get over Vash's mishaps that day...almost.
B = Baby (Do they want to have children with you? How are they with kids?)
While she would like to start a family with you one day, she feels like you both already have enough of a child to deal with in Vash. Still, once the two of you have settled down, she'd like to have a couple with you. She's actually pretty good with kids, since she's met a lot of them on your travels
C = Confession (How would they confess their love? Who confessed to who?)
She realised her feelings for you first, but wanted to put them aside until your job was done. The only person she told about this was Milly, asking her to keep it a secret. Unfortunately, she ended up spilling the secret the next day by accident, which pretty much forced Meryl to confess her feelings herself immediately after.
D = Dominance (Are they the more dominant or submissive one in the relationship?)
She likes to act and believe that she's the dominant one in your relationship...but she's really not. Just kissing her on the cheek in front of other people is enough to make her blush and ask you not to kiss her in public...even when it's just you, her and Milly, who always innocently insists she doesn't mind looking away.
E = Embrace (Do they like holding you? How do they do it? How often?)
She always enjoys hugging you and nuzzling into your chest after a long day of dealing with Vash. Cuddles are pretty much an everyday thing with you two, since she says they're the only things keeping her sane. She likes being the little spoon whenever you lie in bed together, but only when Milly is already asleep. She doesn't want her to see her senpai in such a state.
F = Flirt (How are they when they flirt? Are they any good at it?)
She doesn't really flirt with you often, since she prefers to focus on her work, saying it requires her constant attention. When she does flirt with you though, as good as she claims to be at it, she's really not. Every time she tries, it always seems to backfire. She'll in you against a wall, only to remember how short she is. Or, she'll try to give you a compliment, only for it to come off as slightly creepy. Still, with how cute she gets when she's flustered afterwards, it does sort of work in a roundabout way.
G = Gifts (What kind of gifts do they get you? Store-bought or homemade?)
Most of her gifts tend to be homemade, mainly because with how much she spends on travel and housing costs, she can't really afford store-bought ones. Because of this, however, she also puts all her effort into making the best presents she can for you. She'll even do her best to budget the group's spending so that she can afford to get you something for special occasions like your birthday or your anniversary.
H = House (What kind of house do they prefer? How are they with housework?)
Honestly, just anything permanent is good for her. If she had to pick, she'd like to stay in a cottage with you and your children, as far away from the blonde buffoon as possible. She's actually pretty good with housework, since she doesn't like leaving the rooms you stay in in a mess, considering it bad manners.
I = I love you (How long did it take them to say it? How often do they say it?)
It already took her a while to say it the first time, and if it hadn't been for Milly's accidental intervening, it would have taken a while longer. It's nothing she has against you, she just wants to remain professional...and tends to be a little reserved with her affection. She will say it on certain occasions or when you're feeling down, though.
J = Jealousy (How often do they get jealous? How do they deal with it?)
Even if she constantly denies it, she does get jealous quite easily, especially with women who're taller than her. Any time she does get jealous, she pulls you away by your arm, or your ear if she's especially ticked off, and lectures you about talking to women like that. It's best not to ask her if she's jealous, though, lest you incite her wrath even further.
K = Kisses (How do they kiss you? Where do they like kissing you? How often?)
Meryl doesn't kiss you that often. She often uses the excuse that you're on the job, but really she's just too shy to do it most of the time. If you tease her about it enough, though, she'll give you a kiss on the cheek just to shut you up. And if she's feeling particularly brave, she'll kiss you on the lips...once in a blue moon.
L = Language (What is their preferred love language?)
Her preferred love language is quality time, with her second favourite being acts of service. Part of this is because she's too shy to give you much physical affection or words of affirmation, and she's too poor for gift giving. However, she also genuinely really enjoys spending time with you. Just having a drink with you and venting about her day is enough to get her ready for tomorrow, and she's always more than willing to listen to whatever you have to say as well.
M = Marriage (Do they want to get married? What kind of wedding do they want?)
She would prefer a typical wedding, surrounded by all of her friends and family, with Milly as her maid of honour. To your surprise, she even wants to invite Vash, though it isn't fully by choice. She just figures that even if she didn't invite him, he'd still find a way to show up somehow, most likely dragging some kind of crazed bounty hunter behind him. So, she decides it's for the best to just invite him upfront.
N = Nickname (What pet names/nicknames do they have for you?)
She struggles coming up with any unique pet names for you, mostly because the idea of calling you something like that at all makes her embarrassed. She sticks with the typical "my love" or "dear" at first, but will eventually move on to something like "darling" once she gets enough confidence.
O = Open (How open are they with you? Do they hide their feelings/secrets?)
She's pretty open about her feelings, if only because she's terrible at hiding them, especially from you. She's fine with opening up to you when something annoys her, mainly Vash, though she doesn't try to rely on you too much out of fear of seeming too dependent. She doesn't really have any big secrets, and she hopes you won't keep any from her, either.
P = Public (Do they like showing off their relationship? How are they with PDA?)
She doesn't really like showing off her relationship in public. It's nothing she has against you, she just has a hard time being affectionate around other people. Even just hugging you in front of Milly can get her flustered, and asking for a kiss on the cheek in public is sure to earn you a punch on the shoulder.
Q = Quirk (Do they have an unusual quirk/habit? Some kind of ability?)
While she doesn't like to show it off, she's a pretty talented gunslinger. She can hit objects from far away with decent accuracy, and she's quick on the draw as well. The only reason she doesn't like to show it off is that she's worried you'll compare her to Vash, and she'd prefer to have as little in common with that porcupine head as possible.
R = Routine (What sort of morning and night-time routines do they have?)
While constantly travelling form place to place on a low budget doesn't really give her much time or money for things like makeup or face masks, she still does her best to look her best. She makes sure to get enough sleep every night, and she goes for an early run every morning to stay active.
S = Spooning (Do they prefer to be the big spoon or the little spoon?)
Even if she doesn't admit it publicly, she much prefers being the little spoon. After a long day of work and dealing with a certain "co-worker", cuddling up into your arms and venting about her day always makes her feel better.
T = Try (How much effort do they put in? Are they open to trying new things, or are they fine with how things are now?)
While she's far from the most experienced person when it comes to love, she really does try her best for you. She always makes sure to ask if you're doing okay whenever you look upset about something, and she'll do her best to protect you from whatever situations you find yourselves in. She'd prefer not to try new things, only because of how much "excitement" she puts up with in her line of work already.
U = Upset (How do they cheer you up/comfort you?)
If she thinks you're only upset about something minor, she'll remind you that you're professionals and that you have a job to do, basically a nicer way of telling you to suck it up. If it's something truly distressing, though, she'll awkwardly wrap her arms around you and pat you on the back, telling you it'll all be okay.
V = Value (How much do they value your relationship? What's it worth in comparison to other things in their life?)
She values her job a little higher than her relationship with you, only in that she won't let you distract her while she's on active duty. However, if she were forced to choose between you or her career, she'd pick you every time. With her skills, she could always find another job, but you're the only one she loves, it just might take her a while to truly realise that.
W = Wound (How do they react to you getting hurt?)
When you come to her with an injury, she acts a little bit like a mother. She'll bandage whatever part of your body you injured, while berating you for being so careless to getting yourself hurt, asking you what would happen if you got seriously injured. If you ask her to kiss it better, your shoulder will end up hurting worse than your injury does.
X = Xtra (A random fluffy headcanon)
She'll never admit it to your face, but she's actually a massive sucker for praise. Just telling her how well she did after a hard day or saying that she did great on a particular report is enough to encourage her to keep going. She'll never ask for your praise directly, she's a grown woman, after all, but she'll certainly hint at it when she needs it most.
Y = Yes (How do they react to getting proposed to?)
"H-Huh? You want to m-marry me? Geez, I wish you hadn't done it in such a public place, and that ring looks expensive, but...yes, I'll marry you."
Z = Zzz (How are they when they sleep? Do they snore or wiggle a lot?)
She'll always deny it whenever you bring it up, but she snores. A lot. And very loudly. Whenever you ask her about it, she just claims you're hearing some old pipes or something. You've tried asking Milly about it, but she must be a very heavy sleeper, because she always says she's never heard Meryl snore before either, and it's not like her to lie. It's probably best to just get some ear plugs.
