“If I had a lame ass boyfriend I would hype him up so much I would make him wait outside so I could go in first and be like get ready here comes the specialest boy ever if you don’t cheer and clap for him I’ll fucking blow this whole building up”
Thinking of this tumblr post again. What characters across Genshin and honkai(or any fandoms you’d like) would this apply to in your eyes? Can obv make gn partner instead of boyfriend for the writing
I LOVE THIS!!! Tried to control myself a lil with the amount of characters I picked but uhhh that didn't go so well (^_^;)
Various Genshin, HSR, and HNDR Characters x GN Reader - Making You Feel Special
- Childe -
When I looked at the genshin roster and saw his dead fish eyes staring back at me, I knew I had to include him lmao. He is sooo the type to be crazy obnoxious about hyping you up every opportunity he gets, zero shame whatsoever. There's no talking him out of it either. You WILL be treated like an Archon everywhere you go!!! Or else... :) Just like he feels zero shame in treating you like divinity, he's got no qualms about using his position to ensure others do the same. They wouldn't want to get on the Fatui's bad side... right?
- Furina -
Another one who gets wayyyy over the top about introducing you and helping you feel welcome. A huge chunk of it is simply out of habit, what with her being one of Fontaine's most theatrical residents and having hundreds of years worth of muscle memory burned into her. However, despite how silly it may seem, she actually does put a lot of thought into her behavior. Being the lover of a former Archon's a tough position to be in, after all. The least she can do is steal the spotlight and help break the tension a little; that way, your sweet little self can't get too worked up about being judged for your own quirks, whatever those may be.
- Hu Tao -
Like Furina, she is SO happy to do whatever silly nonsense it takes to make herself look weird for your sake. She also plain old enjoys showing you off. It's so cute how she pushes you in front of others with the goofiest grin on her face, presenting you like some sort of human show and tell. What's not so cute is her reaction if the other person's own isn't up to par. You won't see it with her hiding behind your back, but trust that the eerie glare she's throwing their way is more than enough to convince any sane man to change their tune in an instant.
- Xiangling -
Ohhh to be given special treatment by Xiangling... The minute you set foot inside the Wanmin Restaurant, she's already zooming over with your favorite appetizers in hand and dragging you to your designated spot to get to monching. And if it's a special occasion like your birthday? Oh my goodness does she go all out with the celebratory dessert—or in her case, every single part of the meal. Everyone better sing along each time, or she'll sneak some extra spice into their next dish!
- Alice -
Nobody in the world could stand out when placed next to her, but will that stop her from using her magic to try to make it happen? Heck no! She's casting spell after spell to help you shine, no matter how embarrassing you find her antics to be. Her methods are super effective—both due to her talent and, well... If her daughter's anything to go off of, that whole line about blowing the whole building up if they don't react as desired shouldn't be taken lightly. So they better play along, 'kay?
- Thoma -
THOMA ARGGGHGHH I FINALLY GOT AN EXCUSE TO WRITE ABOUT YOU
It's no secret that he's one of the sweetest guys in Inazuma, always happy to help support those around him. Why wouldn't he do the same for you? Thankfully for those of y'all that get shy about this sorta thing, he's one of the few on this list that has the tact to know not to go too far with it. Don't get me wrong, he still goes pretty overboard, but a stern look his way will get him to switch gears if needed. Speaking of stern looks, if he hears a single complaint about your frequent appearances at the Kamisato Estate from the other workers? They're getting the nastiest side eye in the world. Probably a thinly veiled threat too regarding their job security if they keep acting up.
- Sparkle -
Your first time meeting the Masked Fools is a full-on party because of her. Not like their hangouts getting a bit over the top is anything out of the ordinary, but still. I wouldn't be surprised if she made a literal bomb and used it to set Sampo and the others on fire if they don't reach a certain noise threshold. You think they're just really, REALLY happy to meet you, meanwhile they're sweating bullets as an ominous beeping noise rings out from under them—
- Aventurine -
His way of going about hyping you up is far more subtle, but by no means does that mean you'll feel any less loved. From his perspective, there really isn't any need for grand gestures of affection here. One well-placed hand on your waist and a pet name or two is plenty to get the message across: you're his special plaything, and anyone with a brain would know better than to treat a Stoneheart's darling like anything other than the most precious of gems.
- Guinaifen -
Heeellloooooo!!! This is Guinaifen we're talking about here. Of course she's going to be your number one hype man! Even on the most normal of days, she's constantly singing your praises to any poor bloke who gets caught in one of her yapfests, so you can imagine how she gets when introducing you to others. Her adoration is so pure and genuine that it's incredibly infectious as well, ensuring that all around her will hold you in similarly high esteem. Another Guinaifen nation W!
- March 7th -
March literally can't help but show you off every single planet y'all go to together. You can whine all you want about it after the fact, but no matter how many times you ask her to tone it down, she can't help it! You take your eyes off her for one second and suddenly she's chatting up some poor service worker and pulling out her favorite photos... which just happen to be photos of you two together. Hey, don't get mad! It's just proof that you're the cutest cutie in the whole galaxy.
- Evernight -
Most people are kind enough to not get too outwardly annoyed by March's ramblings, but you know how some people are. Maybe they insult her, or worse, push her and yell at her to back off. If that's the case... Well, Evenight certainly doesn't mind stepping in for a little while to give them a good scare. After all, it's already unforgivable for them to hurt March; the fact that they inadvertently insulted you in the process as well? Now that's just asking for trouble. At least they were kind enough to offer themselves as an example, that way nobody else in that room will dare make that same mistake.
- Argenti -
Pretty self-explanatory. No matter what kind of person you are or how poor your self-esteem may be, he earnestly believes—and therefore treats you—like you're beauty incarnate, inside and out. Singing your praises at every waking moment is practically a full-time job for him. All he asks for in return is for you to cease your bizarre obsession with shying away from his compliments. They're embarrassing, you say? But he's only telling you the truth... Perhaps he needs to be even more affectionate so you can get used to it?
- Takemaru -
One of the first that came to mind when I saw this prompt! He's so the sort to take his insecure partner and throw them into a confidence building training arc. Very reminiscent of how he treated Shouma in r0. He keeps screaming at you to do one more rep, except instead of physical exercise, it's just you screaming shit like "I am worthy of being loved!!!" while he cheers for you on the sidelines. It's incredibly annoying to everyone else in the academy, but he will NOT listen to any noise complaints. Sorry to all the light sleepers in there.
- Kurara -
As the future spouse of an Oosuzuki, you are not allowed to go around being all mopey and sorry for yourself! It would be a disgrace to her family name. So you better hold your head up high going forward, else you risk a swift jab of her elbow and a verbal warning. Of course, the hits and scorning are never too harsh when it comes to you. Those kinds of heavy hitters are reserved for the rest of the unit on the off chance they throw an unsavory comment your way.
In other words, Gaku's getting hit. A lot. Maybe one day he'll learn...?
- Moko -
Who's better suited to be your hype man than the pro wrestler herself? The moment you walk into a room, she's already got her voice booming loud enough that her silly yet charming intro speech echoes throughout its entirety. What's more, her status as the team's beloved mood maker ends up making her strategy rather effective. Some of the others—most likely Nozomi and/or Kyoshika—even join in on her shenanigans and cheer you on like a fighter entering the ring... despite it being the cafeteria. And 8 a.m. And everyone else being way too exhausted for that kinda stuff. Oops.
- Eito -
Admittedly, he can be a little too jealous of others getting close to you to want them to start acting super friendly with you. Still, he loves loves loves showering you with praise around the others. It makes it a million times easier to tolerate them when he gets to sneak sweet things about you into the conversation. That food he made for everyone? Well, you helped, so you deserve credit too! That smart idea he had? Actually, you were the one to come up with it first. He just fleshed out the details is all.
Buuuuut I mostly included him because of the bomb part. Boy is not above kabooming anyone who makes you feel bad, even if it's a total accident on their part. Love and peace!!!

Last Defense Academy request: The girls of Last Academy reacting to their S/O getting hit with the Brainwashing status please.
The lda girls reacting to you getting brainwashed
Hiruko shizuhara
Of course hiruko was worried about you but she was also mostly kinda mad at you for getting in this situation in the first place. You train with her almost every day for situations like these and yet you still managed to get caught. she knows it's not fully your fault but she can't help but be a bit angry because she's worried
She has no qualms about attacking you and fighting you, especially if you attack her first. You'll get revived anyway so while she does feel a bit bad especially if she kills you she knows it's for the best
Later she will scold you for getting yourself brainwashed and not even resisting but she doesn't mean it as an insult it's more that she's worried about what could have happened if things got worse
Darumi amemiya
To be honest darumi was kind of excited. Mind control is one of her fantasies (because what isn't?) But in a less inappropriate way she also thought that fighting you would have been pretty cool.
Sure she gets to do it during training but you hold back when you're sparring worried about killing her even if she can get revived. But now you actually want to kill her and something about fighting with your lives on the line brutally trading hits....it both almost turned her on and excited her at the same time
Later she'll tell you all about what happened while you were controlled and about the amazing and cool fight you had. She kinda wishes she can do it again maybe she can get brainwashed and fight you next time.....also maybe in bed
Tsubasa kawana
Tsubasa just couldn't believe it when you started attacking her car, she knew there was something wrong and her worries were confirmed it when she saw your eyes, you were under the control of the enemy commander
She screamed and called for her friends who while reluctant attacked you to stop you from doing more damages. Meanwhile Tsubasa tried her best to hold back the urge to puke after she saw your lifeless body....not very successfuly
You had to comfort her quite a bit after that. She knows you weren't in control of your body but still seeing you attack her like that affected her pretty hard. in the end she knows that you'd never do that on your own volition but she needs to hear that from you
Kako tsukumo
Kako at first didn't know what was wrong with you why you were attacking your friends, she tried to call out to why but figured out the truth only when you faced her and started attacking
Thankfully ima was there and pulled her out the way of your attack, starting to fight you in the process, Kako tried to yell at her brother not wanting to see you hurt but she also knew this needed to be done
Later she was pretty disappointed in herself for not protecting you and sparing you from both the mind control and the death. She vows to never make that happen again, she doesn't want to see you hurt like that and she also definitely doesn't want to fight you
Nozomi kirifuji
Nozomi couldn't believe her eyes when you turned towards her and started attacking her, red spirals in your eyes, she tried her best to defend herself but most of her allies jumped in to help. They knew that since she couldn't be revived protecting her had to be the main objective, even if they had to kill you
Nozomi tried her best to call out to you to make you recognize her and snap you out of the trance but unfortunately she was unsuccessful. All she could do was cry and close her eyes while she watched you fall to her friends
And her crying continued when she saw you back alive in the academy, she cuddled you and cried in your chest happy to see you alive but a bit traumatized from what she saw. She really doesn't want to see you in that state again or in danger in general
Kyoshika magadori
Kyoshika wasn't sure of what was happening, why were you attacking her instead of the invaders? She tried to bring you back to reality and guard your attack with her sword but when someone explained to her what was happening she knew what she had to
She had to free you from the evil forces controlling your mind! Which meant defeating the commander, she immediately tried to strike them and fight them alone but had the rest of the unit had to help her, still she insisted on landing the final blow to have the honor of freeing you from their control
Later when you came to she explained what happened to you while taking the opportunity to exaggerate her deeds, saying that she was the only one responsible of saving you so you would be impressed.....you didn't really believe her but you didn't say anything and let her have the glory
yugamu has a lot of experience! you're not his first, but sex with you is different for him! after all, he truly loves you and so all he does holds meaning to him!
while yugamu is a hopeless romantic, he's also absolutely freaky in the sheets! this man will try EVERY kink you want! there's nothing that's ‘too much’ or ‘too gross’ for him!
some of his personal favorites include rope play, knife play and other more extreme things! he'd never hurt you, but he loves to see that look of despair on you!
yugamu also enjoys multiple forms of sexual ‘torture’, such as edging, overstimulation or denial! he can be absolutely mean in bed and will even keep going after you're crying and begging for a break (unless you use the safeword, which will make him stop IMMEDIATELY)!
yugamu also seems to have no shame! he's very open about his sex life, not just that he talks about it, if anyone asks, but he'll casually tell you in public if he's in the mood – which he always is!
he doesn't even bother to lower his voice as he tells you things such as “i really wanna see you cry for me when you cum… can we do that right now, darling~?”, flustering not just you but everyone who's unfortunate enough to overhear his public dirty talk–
and yugamu's not quiet either! whenever you two retreat to his room, everyone else can hear the screams, moans and cries coming from within! which is why nobody ever bothers to interrupt the two of you and simply settles for some earplugs…
your homosexuality is infecting me,,, yugamu x reader romantically ,,,, p l e a s e,,,
the people yearn for yugamu
Yugamu Omokage x Reader Headcanons
cw for mentions of gore and organs!
You'll have to make the first move. Not because he’s shy, but because he genuinely doesn’t believe anyone would want him in that way. Despite his theatrics, he's well aware that he's incredibly disturbing and that most don't wanna be around him.
You and everyone else will know he's got a puppy crush on you, though. He just starts acting different around you; hovering near you more, personally checking up on you during and after battles, wanting to explore the ruins with you, etc. You probably won't get a formal confession from him unless you press him for it.
Physical affection makes him flinch at first, not because he dislikes it, but because it's something he’s not used to. Once he is used to affection, though, prepare for him to be extra clingy when you're alone.
He likes just laying on you. When it's just you two alone, he's a huge fan of laying across your lap and laying on top of/under you, depending on height and weight difference. He likes melting into you without a care in the world.
If you weren't already squeamish before you started dating, you will be! Yugamu sometimes gets wrapped up in his fantasies and lets you know exactly how badly he wants to strap you to a surgical table and just go to town on you. You'll know much he just wants to cut you open and caress your still-beating heart right in his hands as your blood stains his hands and soaks into his clothes, and how warm your intestines would be wrapped around his neck like a loving embrace.
It's rare that you can genuinely fluster him, but when you do, it's wonderful. He just kind of... locks up with wide eyes. The first time you kissed his cheek mid-sentence, he blinked, turned bright red, and completely forgot what he was saying. He didn’t recover for a full minute.
You get closer to the others from second-to-last defense academy by association. Kurara is deeply unimpressed with your choice in men. "What, did he whisper sweet nothings about your organs into your ear today? How romantic." But they all think you're cute together! The four of them try and help set up cute dates for you guys all the time.
Yugamu doesn’t get traditional romance, but he tries. You mentioned wanting to go stargazing once, and a few days later, he silently leaves you a note that just says, "The moon will be bright tonight. Meet me by my room?" When you get there, he's awkwardly holding a bouquet of poorly arranged flowers, looking incredibly confused and asking, "…Am I doing this right?" You reach over to take the flowers and kiss him, and you hear four girls squealing from behind you.
If it's cool I'd like to request a V'exhness vs Kyoshika sword fight. But like in a normal school au, so maybe that kendo stuff instead
A/n:this wasn't really an x reader request (or if it was it wasn't really specified) and since I only do those I decided to turn it into one because it was too funny to not do
"How dare you say something like that you vile fiend!"
"Just try and stop me pathetic hero, Y/n will be mine!"
The two start taking out their kendo swords and dramatically trading blows at each other
You keep watching the scene and then turn to Eva besides you
"......what is happening?"
"Sister started saying she was going to ask you out today so kyoshika challenged her to a duel"
"....a duel?"
"Precisely"
".....for me?"
"I assume so"
"...do they think this is a shonen anime or something?"
Just as you say that you see kyoshika fall to the ground and v'exhness put her sword to her neck
"......ok they actually might"
"Just surrender and i will spare you, i might even allow you to kneel to y/n while we sit on our thrones"
"Y/n will never join your evil plans, I will protect them from your wickedness!"
The samurai gets up and keeps dueling v'exhness...at kendo...with wooden swords.. not doing any real damage to each other and just pretending
".....I think it's better to leave them alone for now"

tags: flirty/suggestive!yugamu, there's only one bed, defense unit member!reader, cuddling together
there's a room for everyone in last defense academy! however, since there are no spare rooms, the moment a room becomes unavailable, there's a problem–
after a little incident in your room, you're unable to sleep in there anymore, until sirei and nigou fix up your room! which means you have to find another place to stay now…
yugamu is quick to suggest you sleep with him for a few nights, but you awkwardly brush it off at first, thinking he might just be joking
yet as evening comes around and you haven't found a place to stay for the night, you find yourself in front of yugamu's door, awkwardly asking him if he's still ready to share his bed with you for the night…
of course, yugamu grins and assures you that he's still very much open to it! in fact, as soon as he lets you inside the room, you see that he has already prepared another blanket and pillow for you!
after chatting a little bit, in hopes to lighten the awkward mood, the two of you head into bed. and while you awkwardly stay on your side of the bed, yugamu doesn't seem to mind getting closer to you at all!
in fact, you suddenly feel his arm wrapped around you, pulling you towards the middle of the bed and smiling at you amused
“don't be so shy, i don't bite… not during the first night, at least!” yugamu grins at you. “i can't imagine you'll sleep comfortable, hugging the edge of the bed. so why don't you try hugging me instead as you fall asleep~?”
tags: romantic rivalry (eito & takumi hate each other) silly & wholesome fluff, eito sees reader normally
a love triangle between takumi and eito is messy! at least once eito's secret is revealed. before that, it's pretty tame and boring, with eito doing some manipulating in the background to win you over
but once all cards are on the table, things will get complicated! after all, they don't just dislike each other because the other one has a crush on you!
takumi believes eito is a bad influence on you! he's a monster and you shouldn't trust him! he betrayed everyone before and takumi is worried that eito is just playing with you to use you!
meanwhile for eito you're the only person he sees normally. turns out if he truly loves someone, they don't seem like a hideous monster to him. so eito wants to do everything in his power to keep you!
but takumi is always in eito's way. even if eito leaves the academy behind, he'll always come back to see you again. he wants nothing to do with the others, but he wishes you'd just elope with him…
all the while takumi tries to be the voice of reason. he loves you and he's kind to not just you but everyone else! you should be with someone who offers you a good future, shouldn't you?
This takes place in 2nd Scenario where you essentially take Takumi's place in that story. Spoiler warning for that specific route!
Blind Eito x Reader - Beautifully Vile
♧♧♧♧♧♧♧♧♧♧♧♧
"Good morning. Are you on your way downstairs? I was too, but… since I can't see, I've gotten myself lost. Would you mind holding my hand and leading the way? Don't be shy, we're comrades who support each other now."
You sent a glare his way before immediately realizing how stupid a move that was.
"Cut the crap. I know you can make it there just fine on your own."
"You saw right through me, just like I expected. Then... would you mind holding my hand and keeping me company?"
His hand reached out in your direction, paired alongside a disconcertingly bright smile. And to think that just a little bit ago, this same boy was the one plotting to murder you and every other member of the SDU. The mental reminder was enough to give you pause.
"Let me guess. If I actually grab your hand right now, you'll make a face and call me disgusting or vile or something."
"Most likely, yes."
"...So why are you bothering to ask if you know you'll hate it that much?"
"I never said I'd hate it. Just that your body's so putrid that even being this distance from you is enough to make my stomach churn." He pushed his hand closer. "So, how about it? Care to lend your good pal a hand?"
Your stare lingered on the black of his glove. Somehow, even when describing you with the cruelest of adjectives, he always maintains that stupid, faux innocent smile of his. The same that made you fall head over heels for him the first time you met. And now, the one that made you stupid enough to cling to whatever affection he could offer you—clumsy, uncomfortable, and unnervingly genuine.
"Whatever. Don't get sick on me, got it?"
As your fingers interlocked, his entire body tensed up like a startled cat. You waited. Thankfully, your warning from a few seconds ago seemed to have been unnecessary as he let out a soft chuckle.
"This really is vile. If you're interested in that path, you'd make a great fortune teller."
"Yeah, yeah. Just shut up and get to walking."
For once in your time together, he actually appeared perfectly happy to comply with that request and strode alongside you silently, perfectly mirroring your walking speed. You almost wondered why he even bothers with the helpless act he occasionally puts on; with the way he was walking, it's hard to even believe that he's unable to see. Everything about him at that moment—his grin, his confident strides, even the satisfied sigh he let out as he repositioned his hand to grip yours tighter—screamed the opposite.
That is, until you finally began to make your way down the stairs. Only then did the cracks in his facade start to make themselves known. His grip squeezed tight, so tight that you nearly hissed in pain. Still, you held your tongue. That moment didn't feel like the right time to get on his case, not after having to watch one of his shoes overshoot and miss its destination, nearly sending him tumbling down all the steps in one go. Without thinking, you jutted out your free hand to press onto his stomach and keep him steady.
"Are you okay—"
Within milliseconds, he'd already begun folding inwards with a glove firmly planted over his mouth. You tried to panic-jolt the hand of yours he was for some reason still clinging onto away, and yet his hold never loosened enough to do so successfully. He grimaced.
"Thank you. You're so kind to try and help me. Too kind, really... Much too kind..."
"I'm sorry, okay? I'll be more careful next time."
His ears perked up as if a light switch got flicked on inside his head. Miraculously, whatever'd gotten into him proved to be more than enough to get his bubbly self back into gear.
"Oh? So you're also interested in doing this together again in the future?"
"Wha—" You really did try your best to be nice to the boy, but that mouth of his never failed to catch you off guard and provoke your instinctual self to come out to play. "Eito, you're out of your mind. There's no way I..."
The mental snapshot of just how close his foot was to the edge flashed before your eyes. You sighed.
"Actually, maybe it's best that you wait for me to help you get downstairs from now on."
"Got it. From now on, I'll be a good boy and wait outside your door for you every day."
There was no need for him to word it like that. If you voiced that thought out loud, though, he might pick up on the hint of giddiness that would inevitably come out with it. And so, you didn't. Instead, you continued leading the way until you found your way into the cafeteria.
"Allow me to—"
"Nope."
Like a child at daycare, you denied his offer and forcefully dropped him off at the closest booth to get both of your meals, taking care to pick out one of his favorite, easy-to-eat sandwiches, before returning. The following few minutes passed by in near silence thanks to his good table manners. If only that politeness carried over to other subjects. Still, the peace was nice. He didn't even seem to care about the area of your thighs that rubbed against each other from time to time—perhaps because he was entirely at fault for it, being the one who switched seating sides to be directly next to you instead of across. What a weirdo.
"You know..." Swallowing his last bite, he broke the silence. "Spending the morning with you has been a lot of fun. I've never had the chance to do anything like this with someone else before. I'm glad you were my first."
You, on the other hand, had not finished your meal and proceeded to choke violently on it. This guy really, really needed to work on his word choices. He gasped and forced a glass of water into your hands, which you were more than happy to accept.
"Are you alright? I can do the Heimlich maneuver if you need."
"Nope, I'm good!" You managed to cough out. Not a second too late either, as you realized his arms were hovering around your torso. "Put your arms down."
"Alright..." He had the audacity to pout as he retracted them back to his side. "Well, as I was saying, I'm really loving our time together. Perhaps you'd be so kind as to let me tag along in whatever other plans you have for the day? If you need help with anything, I'd be more than happy to make myself useful."
You felt a blush creep up your cheeks. He'd been getting progressively more friendly these past few days, but never before to the level of hanging out—actually hanging out as his equal, not just the secret target of his loathing.
"Actually, I don't have anything planned for today. Do you?"
"Not at the moment. Usually, I would stop by the library, but... a blind man going to a library doesn't make much sense, now does it?"
"Fair point." You stopped to ponder over what options were available for the two of you. A thought popped into your head. "Hey, wait. That means you haven't been able to read anything for a while now."
"Really? I had no idea."
"Shut up! I was just thinking out loud." You grumbled. "In that case, maybe I could read to you? You'd at least be able to finish whatever book you started before you, uh... you know."
You held yourself back from gesturing at his eyes and instead watched as he pondered over your proposal, lips slightly parted in surprise. Then, it was your turn to be surprised.
"Eito?! Why are you crying?"
"Oh, I am? Huh. I didn't notice." His fingers drifted upward to feel the tears that he'd unwittingly let flow. After a moment of pause, he gave you a cheerful smile. "I suppose the purity of your heart shone bright enough to pierce through the darkness of my own."
"What does that even..." You sighed. "Do you want to read together or not?"
"It would be my pleasure. Come on now, you wouldn't be so cruel as to keep me waiting after such a tantalizing offer, would you?"
His grip on your hand pulled at you so harshly that you barely had the opportunity to so much as throw your trash away before he was rushing you up the stairs you just came from. Apparently, going up them was far simpler a task than down. Before you knew it, he was urging you into your room.
"I'll be right back."
He sprinted away. When he returned, a concerningly thick book came along with him.
"Here you go, as promised: the book I'd been reading before gouging my eyes out. I'm elated to be able to hear your wretched voice's rendition of its content."
"What the hell is this?"
"It's a book about the history of mankind. Pretty neat, isn't it? You know, I've always found human history rather interesting, as much as I also find it to be utterly repulsive. Did you know that—"
"That's not what I meant. You don't seriously expect me to read this, do you?"
"Why not? Ah, don't worry. I won't judge you for mispronunciations."
"Also not what I meant. Seriously... How many pages are even in this thing..." You flipped to the last page and nearly fainted at the gargantuan number that greeted you.
"If you aren't willing to read it, I can grab another book. Although, I must say, I was really looking forward to sharing this experience with you. Can you at least give it a try? You might find it more interesting than you'd expect."
You hated the way his stupid puppy eyes routine always worked on you even with his current state. He, on the other hand, let out a satisfied chuckle the moment he heard you take a seat on your couch, followed by the unmistakable sound of finger meeting paper. It only took a few seconds of patting the portion of cushioning beside you for him to follow suit. Neither of you spoke for a while. Finally, you coughed.
"Okay, here goes. I guess."
You felt around for his bookmark and slid it out with care. Apparently, where he'd last left off was some gruesome descriptor of a war zone. Each word made your stomach sink deeper and deeper—and yet, when you glanced his way, you were met with that same damn smile.
"It's just awful, isn't it? What they did in the name of war, I mean." He remarked. You merely hummed in response. "I can only imagine the kind of atrocities humanity's committed during this one—outside of the ones we've already learned about."
"Yeah..."
You didn't want to think about it again. That the past you knew and loved was nothing more than a mirage crafted to make you all willing to sacrifice your lives for humanity's sake. Still, Eito continued.
"Of course, I'm still more than happy to fight. Not for humanity, but for you."
"Ugh, can you go one minute without saying something cheesy?"
As he laughed and gave an empty apology over your scolding, you returned your gaze to the neatly printed words pressed on the pages. Maybe if you used reading to take your mind off him, you could get rid of the stupid smile covering your face. And maybe the tears too, though they've yet to fall.

A full minute had passed without so much as a peep from you, save for the light snoring spilling out from your lips. You must've fallen asleep. As expected.
His fingers felt around slowly, ever so slowly, until they made contact with your wrist. Even then, you failed to come into consciousness—which was also expected. He'd had more than enough experience being around your resting form to know how hard it was to rouse you from sleep. How fortunate for him.
Still, as his gloved digits carried your wrist closer and closer, he took great caution not to move too fast or too suddenly. After all, no matter how kind and lenient you were when it came to him, you still had your limits. He wasn't exactly inclined to find out if this was one of them.
He held his breath. With one hand lifting the fabric of his shirt and jacket, the other angled your wrist into a perfect vertical line. And then, he pressed your palm forward. Into the sinew of his abdomen. Into his body heat, which now competed with your own. He felt them squish together. That sensation alone was enough to send shivers down his spine, but there was so, so much more sensory input flooding his neurons: the sticky sweat building on his skin (both yours and his own), the slight grumble you let out in response, and the following grabbing motion you unknowingly attempted to do, prompting you to squeeze at his exposed skin and for him to whimper like a begging puppy.
You truly were vile. So disgustingly, beautifully vile.
