Age and Sexuality are obvious personal headcanons hshs
I see him being younger than Nulla for obvious reasons (in terms of physical age, I think), but not really any younger than 20 (this is purely off vibes/staring at this man for way too long).
As for his sexuality… well, I think we know why that's the way it is :3c
Dating Difficulty
Neo (canon or Code Swap) is self-aware of the fact that he's difficult, which I don't think is something that would go away even in Code Swap. With that said, though, I don't think CS!Neo would be entirely aware of just how difficult dating him would be, even for as realistic as he is (to me, at least…).
Love Languages
Physical Touch – 4/5:
Taking inspiration from Moose's Swapped!Neo here ngl hshs
I think similar to Swapped!Neo, CS!Neo would show some of his affection through "lovingly" bullying you, but there'd obviously be no ill-intentions with it.
CS!Neo is lowkey touch-starved due to being stuck in the memories, and his growing affection for you ends up making him way too conscious of that for his own comfort, which causes him to become semi-subconsciously more touchy with you than he wants to admit.
Acts of Service – 2.5/5
… If Neo does something for you, and he does so willingly? He loves you.
Words of Affirmation – 1/5
I feel as though he'd be (a little bit) better at showing his affection through actions as opposed to words, maybe because of inexperience of actually verbalizing his feelings/emotions.
With that said, though, I don't think it'd be an impossibility for him to praise you occasionally (may be projecting here bc I'm a sucker for praise… oops), so :3c
Gift Giving – 2.5/5
Uhhh idk too much for this one tbh, pure vibes.
Feels like the type to get you something if he notices you looking at it/knows you like it without asking.
Also kinda feels like the type who'd get you something but wouldn't actually "give" it to you, if that makes sense ? Like uhh maybe in a domestic scenario where you're living together, if he notices you were running out of something, he'd go out and get it for you and just restock it without actually telling you, so you'd just find it already refilled or replaced or whatever.
Idk man hshs I think he'd be a bit awkward about gift giving, but yeah hshs
Quality Time – 5/5
Wants to be around you as much as feasibly possible, and he will genuinely do anything to do so.
He does not care how, he just wants you around for as long as he can possibly have you.
He'll sit there in that white void for an eternity while you just… leave the game open in the background and go about your day doing whatever you're doing, even if you aren't paying attention to him and doing you're own thing, if it'll mean that he can at least be (somewhat) with you somehow.
(Coughs in actually does leave TEAG open sometimes while I do stuff with Nulla on screen sometimes… maybe Neo too soon…)
Romantic Inclinations
Lovey-dovey > Nonchalant: Leaning very slightly more towards lovey-dovey, though I do think he'd be a lot more so when in private?
Devoted >>>> Avoids commitment: Devoted also feels self-explanatory…
Rose-tinted lenses <<<< Realist: Bit more of a realist than Nulla. Uhh idrk how to explain this one tbh
Serious >>>> Casual: Serious also feels self-explanatory x2 hshs
Slow-burn >>> Falls hard and fast: Unlike Nulla who falls for you I think instantly (imo), CS!Neo does take quite awhile to even start falling for you. It takes you a lot of replays of his route before those feelings even start to form, let alone really take root and he actually accepts them.
Confesses first >> Waits for confession: He probably wouldn't admit it, but I think he'd be somewhat fearful of confessing to you, considering the barrier between you two, but I do think he'd eventually confess first since I really don't think he'd be able to keep it hidden forever.
PDA vs Private should be right in the middle but rahhh. As I said before, he'd be more "lovey-dovey" in private, but I do think his possessiveness would cause him to be affectionate with you in front of others sometimes.
And uhhh last two Wants it to last >>>> It's temporary and Monogamous >>>> Polyamorous are self-explanatory too :3c
Ideal Partner
"Sólo te quiero a ti Amor <3 :)"
Dates to go on
Baking is something I do see him liking, but he isn't (wasn't) able to truly enjoy it before since he dreaded the clean-up process afterward. With you, though, he'd maybe be able to actually enjoy it more.
Napping together: Would absolutely love it if you (accidentally or not) left the game on while you slept. Pretty sure he doesn't need to sleep, so he'd probably just stare at you through the screen. Or maybe he'd actually take a nap for once, feeling reassured by the view of you through the screen that even after he closes his eyes and allows himself to drift off for a little bit, you'll still be there when he awakes.

Lowkey way too long A/N, sorry: Hey-hey, everyone, and happy Valentine's Day!! :D I've been cooking up this fic for a little bit now... And erm, well... Funny story, really... I had originally planned for this to be of roughly the same length as the other fics I've posted for Code Swap thus far, but uhh I got possessed by a writing demon or something because this is very much NOT a short fic by any means.
So much so, in fact, that I had to split it up into two parts... Gulps. Unfortunately, that part 2 will very likely be at least a week or more late for Valentine's (even though it's definitely the more "Valentine's-y" one 😭) due to personal reasons that I don't feel comfortable sharing, but I hope this way too damn long part 1 (its 2,200+ words...) will be enough to sustain you sillies in the meantime.
I also just very quickly want to say a big thank you to not only all of you (yes, YOU🫵) for enjoying this silly little AU of mine, but also my friends who've been very supportive and encouraging of me creating it. You have no idea how much all of this means to me, so thank you all so much 🤍🤍
Well, without further ado, I hope you all enjoy, and once again, Happy Valentine's🤍!!
Valentine's Day… This wasn't a day that Neo had thought he'd ever particularly care for. Outside of the excuses (as if he needed any) to eat even more sweets or to bake them with his sister in the past, it wasn't something he cared for.
He wasn't a fan of all of that 'mushy gushy crap' as he'd put it. Seeing people and couples being all romantic with each other used to make him damn near puke in disgust, and even just thinking about it now was making him cringe a little— Eugh…
And yet, despite himself, that hadn't seemed to stop him from wondering… Maybe now, it would be just a little more bearable with you?
It was strange for him, really, finding himself counting down the days until a holiday that, up until now, he couldn't care less about (outside of the sweets, of course — and spending time with Mary and Rafael before). And, it was even stranger yet as he found himself meticulously searching through the memories that he could, trying to find the perfect places he could take you to celebrate that said holiday.
He'd even had the, what he considered to be absolutely insane, idea of possibly (to the best of his abilities) creating you and him a house to live in together from bits and pieces of his memories. Preferably, one with a decently sized kitchen, so the two of you could bake together. Or maybe, he could even cook for you! He's secretly hoping you'll help him clean up, though…
The moment the idea had popped into his head, and he'd processed it for more than a few seconds, he quickly tried to shake it away. The idea was ridiculous. It wasn't as if you were going to be staying there — He knew that better than anyone... or so he had once thought, at least.
You'd get bored eventually; God, he'd been so damn sure of that long ago. Before you'd started replaying his route of all of the ones available… His… ridiculously short, boring, unfinished, and pathetically lackluster 'route' — could you even call it a real 'route' at that point?? All you'd done with him before was just… met him briefly (which, by the way, was an absolutely horrible first introduction), and… listened to him before meeting him again, and…
… Well, he doesn't much like thinking about that now— How he used to treat you… He doesn't entirely know why, but it makes his stomach churn just thinking about it. Perhaps, it is some form of guilt that is eating him alive from the inside like an unforgiving parasite, or maybe it is something else entirely.
Whatever it is, however, he doesn't like to —nor does he want to— think about it. Especially not right now — not when he is in the midst of (attempting) planning out the perfect date for the two of you to go on this upcoming holiday!
"Dios mío… ¿qué me has hecho, mi alma…?"
("My God… what have you done to me, my soul…?")
He sighs the words aloud to (literally) nothing, though they hold none of the bite they would have if they had been uttered quite some time ago. Before he'd mistakenly broken the game — the best damn mistake he's ever made in his existence, he thinks. Instead, there's a small, tender smile gracing his lips at just the thought of you now, and the thoughts of what (hopefully fun for you) activities the two of you could do together.
During the days counting down to Valentine's, Neo had done his best not to give away his schemes to you, feigning nonchalance of the holiday coming up (he didn't want to spoil his surprises for you, after all). And although it was very difficult for him, he'd (somehow) managed to do such a good job that when the day did finally come, you were genuinely shocked when you'd opened your game that day to the usual save file with him, and while you did see him there ready to greet you (like he always was now), this time, his image looked a little bit different…
Instead of just his usual white button-up, black tie, and black pants combo that you'd gotten so used to, he's now added a black vest to his look (he did consider making himself a full suit, but it felt too stuffy…). The part that surprises you the most, however, is the small bouquet of colorful flowers in one of his hands that he's holding out to you, which you assume he must have retrieved from one of his memories.
The bright colors stand out immensely amongst his not only completely colorless body, but the completely blank white background behind him, as well. An oddly gorgeous mix of light yellows, blues, and pinks, accompanied with beautiful red roses and the greens of the flower's stems and leaves, all tied together with a rather pretty little white ribbon. It looks as though he'd put the bouquet together himself… as if he'd carefully picked out the bright colored flowers, tying them altogether just for you…
The smile gracing his lips right now as he greets you holds a palpable amount of excitement, as well as love. Although he is trying his very best to act as calm and casual as he can, the big grin on his face, accompanied with the small black blush dusting his cheeks —and what you swear are little hearts in his eyes— all give away that he is anything but 'calm and casual' right now.
It's rather obvious that he's been anticipating this day, this very moment, for what you can only assume is a decently long while now. The mental image of him impatiently waiting for today to finally come around, the small pout that was surely resting on his lips as he was counting down the days, hours, minutes, makes you smile and giggle to yourself.
As you take the beautiful assortment of colorful flowers from him, he takes one of your hands into his own. Though there's a bit of hesitance with how he holds your puppet's hand, his grip is still secure and gentle. His grin softens slightly, although it now looks a little uncharacteristically nervous.
"Venga conmigo. There's… something I'd like to show you…"
(Venga conmigo. = Come with me.)
He doesn't wait for your response before he begins gently pulling you along to follow behind him, seeming to ignore the confused look on your puppet's face. You wonder what he could possibly want to show you, especially since it doesn't seem as though he's taking you out of this blank white 'void' (not yet, at least). You're made even more curious by how he said it, though. He seemed hesitant, speaking slowly, carefully, and his emphasis on… 'something' makes it seem as though it's very important…
And, you would be right. It doesn't take very long at all for you to spot something foreign within this blank white space. By this point, you've gotten so used to it being so… empty, that seeing what looked to be a structure (one with a very eerily similar sketchy messiness to Nulla's… he must have 'borrowed' some of it's assets, you assume) stood out immediately.
Once he deems that the two of you have gotten close enough, he stops and turns back to look at you as he takes a step to the side, allowing you to get a better view of the small and surprisingly beautiful, although a bit 'messy' looking, house. That small smile still remains on his face, and he seems eager to see your reaction, if not still a little anxious (but he will never tell you that, oh goodness no…).
The first thing he notices is your obvious confusion, accompanied now by even more obvious surprise, which elicits a (rather cute) light laugh from him.
"Ajajaja. I expected you to be surprised, but not this much so. Have I stunned you speechless, amor?~"
(Amor = love)
There's an evident tease in his tone, and mostly rhetorical question, his eyes visibly softening when you turn to look at him and your gazes meet one another. For a moment, he just… stares into your eyes —stares directly at you and the utterly adorable look of bewilderment currently on your face— before he eventually snaps himself out of his daze.
He clears his throat as he averts his gaze back to the sketch-like house, still (unknowingly) holding your hand in one of his. He starts absentmindedly caressing it with his thumb —a habit he's (unknowingly) picked up since accepting his ever-growing attachment towards you— while rather awkwardly scratching his cheek.
"It took some digging through the files of the game and my memories, but I managed to put this together for your… for you and I to… stay in together…"
He speaks slowly, cautiously, as if he's walking on eggshells—
No, 'walking on eggshells' doesn't do how he's feeling right now nearly enough justice…
It's as though he is walking on a tightrope that is suspended over the world's deepest, darkest pit. And, should he say even just one thing wrong, he will end up slipping and falling off that rope and into that deep dark pit below where he will be swallowed up whole.
You catch it before he can 'correct' himself as well, however, and although you have a very strong feeling that you know exactly what he was going to say... you decide not to call him out on it. You can see how nervous he is already, see how tense his shoulders are, and feel how his grip on your hand has subconsciously tightened. You think ignoring his… 'correction' would be for the best — he deserves to dream, at the very least… Please, don't ruin that for him.
He then hums before looking at you again and speaking.
"I know it's not much, but… I hope you like it… mi alma♡."
(mi alma♡. = my soul♡.)
Neo's dark eyes soften significantly as he speaks, his body turning towards you, likely without him even noticing it, like a sunflower turning towards the sun. It's natural, instinctual even. And, when he breathes out the (now) very familiar endearment, he does so as if it's akin to breathing for him. He says it with his entire… well, everything — you have become his everything.
The look in his eyes that are currently looking directly through your own is much serious, and vulnerable, than you're used to. Even after the swapping of their codes, Neo did still try his best to keep his… 'vulnerabilities' in check. He wasn't sure if it was a matter of him (attempting to) cling to whatever past dignity he used to have left before you'd all but tore those walls down with your foolish stubbornness, or something else. But, whatever it was… it didn't seem to matter, especially not anymore.
He loves you. He loves you so much, and truly… that terrifies him. He's obsessed with every little thing about you; every look you give him, every movement you make, every word you say. He's obsessed with everything about you.
And, in the beginning, he didn't want you to know that. He didn't want you to know just how badly he's fallen for you, just how much of a very terrifying impact you have made on him…
However, the more you have continued to spend time with him, even after he had accidentally swapped his and Nulla's codes, even after he's changed so much (because of you), and even after he has irreversibly broken the game… The harder it's gotten for him to keep it all hidden — and the less he cares about even doing so…
And, he fears he may be very well be reaching his breaking point; the point where he just… can't keep it all hidden anymore.
Ah, how fitting it would be if these terrifyingly overwhelming feelings of obsession, adoration, and love he's been developing for you all this time finally spilled out on the very day about love itself, wouldn't it?
Neo can't help the way his grin widens at your reaction to the house he'd 'made' for the two of you, nor can he seem to help the light-hearted laugh that escapes his lips. Your reactions are always the cutest, he swears…
He squeezes your hand that he's only just now realized he is still holding onto before he begins walking towards the house, lightly pulling you along with a big, elated smile on his.
"¡Ahora vamos, mi cielo!~♡ The breakfast I prepared for us isn't going to eat itself, you know! Ajajaja!~"
(¡Ahora vamos, mi cielo!~♡ = Now come on, my darling/heaven!~♡)
Another laugh, full of genuine excitement (and love) leaves him, and you can't help noticing a few strands of his black hair (which you swear looks much neater today than usual) curling into small, adorable hearts at their ends, making you smile and even laugh a little along with him. You can't really help but to get excited yourself about whatever plans Neo has for the two of you today, especially not with how his own excitement seems to be radiating off of him like rays of light radiating off the sun…
You think this may very well be the first time you've seen him so... genuinely happy… And that makes you even more glad that you have decided to spend Valentine's with him♡...
.

Ajaja… I'm glad you decided to spend this day with me, too, cielito. Gracias por esto. :)
I can't wait to show you what activities I have planned for the two of us... I hope you'll enjoy reading them. But, until then… Cuídate, mi alma♡.
CS!Neo's reaction if you randomly went up to him and started smothering him in affectionate kisses
A/N: Woah, it hasn't been a month this time what? :O How crazy! Anyways, this is also a really short fic scenario with Code Swap! Neo requested by one of my friends and written over a month ago now.
With Valentine's Day coming up fairly soon, I am trying to write something for it with CS!Neo, though I am not making any promises since I don't know if my motivation will keep up enough for me to finish it... Gulps. Will say that if I can, it might end being my longest fic I've posted to date... erm, oopsies??
Fun fact no one asked for, but I'm pretty sure this was the first thing I'd written for the new year, so that's pretty neat me thinks :3c
"coughcough his reaction to smothering him in kisses please i beg of you
randomly come up to him and start drowning him in affection
i need that man dead. affectionately"
- Request from another close friend of mine who's asked to be anonymous here<3
He will become a very flustered but happy, and maybe a bit dazed, mess. Initially, he'll be a little caught off-guard, not expecting it, but he'll melt into your affection in a few seconds maximum. He isn't really able to help it, having become completely and utterly weak to any affection you show him.
Neo thrives off of just your attention alone, so you showing him so much affection like this? He'll absolutely melt. You've got him wrapped around your little finger, and despite himself — he doesn't actually mind it.
Little hearts appear in his dark eyes when you grab his face and begin peppering every inch of it in kisses. You can feel the warmth of his flushed face under your hands, and perhaps even the corners of his lips that have drawn up into the biggest, most tender smile you'll ever see.
When you eventually decide to stop and pull away, you'll be able to see it: the pure adoration and obsession this man has developed for you. And, it's all because of your own stubbornness and persistence — he wonders if this is your way of showing him directly that you are just as obsessed with him as he's become with you.
Though, he supposes that if you weren't, you wouldn't have been replaying his route so much over that crybaby's, now would you? :)
For a moment, Neo is too dazed to speak, or to even register that you've stopped. However, when he feels you beginning to move away from him, he finally snaps himself out of it. His smile grows. It's still soft, but with a slightly familiar hint of mischief, as his own hands now move to encircle you, effectively keeping you close and refusing to let you go. He leans in close, one arm remaining wrapped around you, while his other hand reaches up to hold your face similar to how you'd held his just moments ago.
The hearts in his eyes have yet to disappear, in fact, you swear they've even grown a little larger as they look directly into your own; his gaze is unwavering, all of his attention focused solely on you. As if, especially right now, you are all that matters and all he's thinking about — which is exactly the case.
"Jaja… Where do you think you're going, mi cielo?~ Did you think I wouldn't return the favor?"
His voice is an octave lower than usual, that mischievous glint in his eyes accompanied by the hearts all but confirming to you that he is not letting you go anytime soon, and you are about to be absolutely —and maybe literally— smothered in his own affectionate kisses.
CS!Neo's reaction to you falling asleep against him
A/N: "Roughly a week" I said, before disappearing off the face of the Earth, apparently. Sighs. Anyways, here's a very short fic I wrote in response to a close friend's question. This was written over a month ago now, and I've only just now found the motivation to format it to here... oops.
Everyone say thank you to a new friend I met recently for (unknowingly) giving me enough motivation to format this to here :3c
There's one more very short fic that I need to copy over here, but I have no idea when I'll have the motivation to do that, and I am not making any promises.
"How would CS!Neo react if we fell asleep on him? Whether we'd fallen asleep against his shoulder or just against him in general?"
- Request from one of my close friends who asked to be anonymous here<3
He would be a little taken aback or surprised, maybe a bit flustered, but he won't admit that part, initially, and his body would tense up slightly. But, he'd also feel happy, and maybe even feel a little sense of pride, too. You feel comfortable enough with him now to fall asleep on him? How could he possibly not feel some pride from that?
He'd relax partially as he stares at you for awhile while you sleep against him, not even realizing that he's doing so. The tenderness and love in his gaze is palpable —even if it's a little foreign, but rest assured, it's not unwelcomed— as little hearts form in his dark eyes.
It's during moments like these when he'll allow himself to become his most vulnerable. When your, although beautiful and addictive, eyes can't perceive it. Perhaps it's his own pride, ego, or fear. Or, maybe, it's simply an old habit he can't seem to shake off, no matter how hard he tries.
Whatever it is, for all the overwhelming love he feels for you, he refuses to (purposefully) let you see him like this — like something way too terrifyingly close to Nulla, of all damn people…
He also refuses to move, however, in fear of waking you. So, he remains as still as possible, attempting to even slow his own heartbeat lest you hear it and stir from your sleep; though, it's not really working, but at least you don't seem to be waking up.
The smile that graces Neo's lips is an expression that is completely unlike his usual self; it's small, but soft. It's full of a warmth and tenderness that almost frightens him, but… he doesn't hate it. At least, not anymore.
Several minutes pass by before he even allows himself to think about moving a single muscle, but eventually, he can't help himself. Upon noticing that you don't seem to be waking up anytime soon, he slowly, almost nervously, wraps an arm around you to carefully pull you closer, then the other to hold you there. He can't help the faint hum of satisfaction and affection that leaves him as he holds you like this, planting a gentle kiss to the top of your head before resting his own atop yours as he closes his eyes, that tender, soft smile remaining all the while.
Even though he doesn't really need to, perhaps a short nap isn't such a bad idea after all, so long as he's holding you like this — so long as you're still there when he wakes up.
How CS!Neo will react/what he'll do if you're sick/feeling under the weather in general:
A/N: Wrote this bout a week ago when I was ill and didn't think to format it to post here until now. I'm probably not going to be able to format the other Code Swap things from Discord until roughly a week from now, so for now I'm giving you guys this one. Sorry that it's quite short compared to my usual things, but I hope it's enough to satiate you for the time being ':3 <3
Will insist on you staying in bed and resting, letting him take care of you (even if he doesn't actually entirely know what he's doing, but he's not going to admit that).
And no, he does not care if you try to insist that you're fine or that it's nothing serious, his own (definitely subtle) paranoia simply won't let him take any chances. Unfortunately for you, he will win this disagreement, as he is far too stubborn otherwise.
Bits and pieces of his "former" self will start shining through, but it's only because he really cares about you, and he's scared.
What I mean by this is that he'll become somewhat harsher (unintentionally, but he can't help it), and he'll be very insistent on you taking medicine when you need to and eating whatever he's prepared for you (Yes, he's willing to cook for you during this time, even if he's dreading the dishes that he'll have to clean up later — it's worth it if you eat it and feel even just a bit better).
He refuses to leave your side apart from prepping meals for you or getting things for you if you ask for something
Tbh though, you wouldn't even have to ask. He's way too observant not to notice when you want/need something before you even get the chance to think about opening your mouth to request it.
Since I don't think he actually needs to eat or sleep, he'll be there for you literally 24/7. <3
Will happily do "lazy" activities with you if you want to. Things like watching TV/YouTube/whatever together, playing video games on a handheld console of some kind/on your phone, etc.
I think he'd enjoy doing stuff like that, idk. Neo in general has always given me the vibe of someone who'd be into video games especially, so :3c
So long as you don't try to push yourself too much (as far as he's concerned), he'll be content doing whatever with you — even if he is worrying on the inside a lot more than he'd care to admit.
Pretty sure he literally can't get sick, so don't worry, he can cuddle you as much as you want without any worries!! :D <3
(Please let him at least hold your hand while you sleep, he desperately needs at least that little reassurance that you are and will be alright)
Overall, CS!Neo will be a very clingy, semi-paranoid, maybe a bit overbearing, attentive rat boy while you're not feeling well, but it's just because he cares for you and loves you.
And he can't bear the thought of even just potentially losing you in any capacity.
And, as a small bonus for those who make it this far, you get to have this short ficlet I wrote to go with this <3
Please note: I am not a Spanish speaker (am very slowly learning tho), so I do partially use a translator when writing sentences especially. Feel free to (nicely) correct me if I get anything wrong
Waking up with a dry cough and runny nose was not on your agenda for the day, and Neo's reaction when he found out you were sick certainly wasn't either.
You'd almost gotten used to his changed, softer demeanor, so hearing him calling you "Idiota" when you'd tried to get up earlier had actually caught you a little off-guard — you'd almost forgotten that used to be his normal, not… this.
Him sitting there at your bedside, holding your hand in his own so gently as if it were made of glass, absentmindedly drawing random small shapes with his thumb on the back of it. You were drifting between sleep and consciousness, your sickness making you feel much more fatigued than usual, but you could still make out the subtle anxiety in his features.
He refused to leave your side unless it was absolutely necessary, and that was the end of it. There was no way to argue against him. It wasn't as if he actually needed to eat or sleep, so all he really had to do was just taking care of you and wait for you to get better.
Just as sleep was starting to win over your mind, you swore you felt Neo lift your hand he was holding up ever so slightly and place a featherlight kiss to your knuckles, an action done with so much caution it's clear it's still incredibly foreign to him.
