|| LYCA DATING HEADCANONS ||

ᶻ 𝗓 𐰁 .ᐟ fluff, reader is gn!!

Let's just start off saying that she's a very independent and responsible person. She pretty much had to train herself to be when becoming the Captain of the Dusk Patrollers. So when someone like you caught her eye, she was really struggling to set her mind straight.

She prays to Misarte that you never pop up when she's on duty because she knows she won't be able to keep her eyes off you, her sharp vision doesn't help her much either.

She doesn't know what it is about you that captivated her so much. But she knows that for sure it was your kindness. How you are so willing to help the villagers as well as to standing up for them. She admires that deeply about you.

There was this one time she was able to arrive in time when you were caught in a fight. Her arrows flying just past you and into the shoulder of your opponent. You'd turn to see her shoot you a smile.

"Don't worry, I've got your back" She'd say as she draws back another arrow.

In all honestly, she REALLY REALLY tried to ignore her crush on you but it's hard to when she's literally friends with you. Close friends!!It doesn't help either when Lorsan teases her about it. That's why the confession was gonna happen anyway.

Scenario ↴

You were seated by the campfire, resting after spending the whole day helping the others treat the injured. It was then you felt a familiar presence take it's place beside you on the log. You turned and was happy to see it to be Lyca.

"How's Eironn?" You'd ask as she picks up a stick to poke around the rocks inside the campfire.

"Still as stubborn as ever... but he's a lot more tolerable now"

"At least that's progress" She smiles slightly at your words.

You two sit side by side, knees barely brushing each others as the quiet night is filled with the sound of the fire crackling and crickets chirping.

In the peaceful moment, you couldn't help but admire the way the fire reflected on her face. Her strawberry eyes burning like embers. It was when she locked eyes with you that you felt like you forgotten how to breath.

"Is it alright if I tell you something?" She would say after a while.

"Of course, you don't need to ask"

"I know... we're always so open with each other but I'm scared that you might judge me for this"

"Did you do something bad?" You tilt your head and she couldn't help but avoid your curious gaze.

"I guess you could say it like that..."

She'd pause and you don't intend on pushing her to speak, but rather waiting for her to say what she has in her mind. And in her mind she's rehearsing the confession that she had to redo multiple times in fear of coming off as 'too much'.

"I think I've fallen for someone (Y/N)" She blurted out almost too fast, in hopes that you'd miss it so she could play it off like she never said anything.

"You... have? Is it someone I know?" You'd ask even though your gut knew the answer already. It doesn't take a lot of thinking to see the way you've both have been looking at each other. Even a rock can see through it.

"... it's... oh Misarte above... I've fallen for you... and I can't make up my mind if it's a bad thing" She'd sigh and you seem almost too stunned to swallow.

"Why... how could it be a bad thing?" You questioned as your body scoot itself closer towards her.

"Because... I’ve always been so focused on, you know, being the responsible one, making sure everyone else is okay. But being around you, you make me… feel things I didn't know I was capable of. You make me want to be less responsible, to be silly, to be… free. You make me feel like breaking the rules and telling me that its okay to be a bunch of careless fools sometimes. Do you find that funny or have I gone crazy?" She said but her lips were slowly forming a smile, as if she was drawn towards the idea of you two being stupid together. You couldn't help but smile back.

"You're not crazy... it just sounds like you need a break... and I happen to be the right person for it" You'd hold her hands in yours and her heart flutters at your gesture.

"Right person right time...?"

"Exactly"

To be frank, you were like the constant reminder of how she could carry out her duties and be able to relax at the same time. It was as though you were the person to provide her that balance in her life.

When everyone found out about your relationship, thanks to Lorsan literally telling it to everybody, Lyca couldn't last a second in the village without someone asking her how you were doing. Even the mention of your name was enough to have her ears perk up at their direction.

That's why it leads to my next point, she loves loves LOVES it if you happen to be shorter than her (6'2"), because you'll go on saying how her ears does not count to her height to which she'll object to your justification by saying it's still part of her body.

Just seeing you pout about her being taller than you makes her struggle to resist the urge to pinch your cheeks.

Her kisses are 100% sweet and soft, she doesn't know how but it's as though your lips has this ability to melt her stress away. She really can't keep her hands off of you so most of the time she'd be late for work. You always have to be the one to remind her.

Moving on to PDA, this woman sure has an image to hold but this doesn't mean she's ashamed to show you off. Hugs, kisses and loving looks. She really can't hold herself back even if she tries.

She trusts you a lot so she feels as though she can be herself when she's with you.

Just her coming home after a hard day, a visible frown on her face so you don't force her to talk about it but rather hold her in your arms, the feeling of your heartbeat being enough to calm her down.

But if the weight was too much to bare, she will tell you about what's troubling her.

That means the same for you too, she can tell if you are ever in a bad mood. She'd do simple things like maybe taking you to your favourite restaurant, cuddling in a blanket fort together or just anything you like to cheer you up.

Since she's always chatting with people, her social battery are usually drained out by sundown. That's why she falls asleep faster at night when you two cuddle, she calls it her "Recharge Section"

Date nights where you guys go stargazing is a MUST. It's the best thing to do together.

"Hey, look up there. Do you see that constellation?" She points and you'd turn to look, the both of you laid down on the short grass.

"The one that looks like a butterfly?" You asked.

"Yeah, that's it" She'd smile softly as she relaxes her head on your shoulder, enjoying the moment with you.

Though, no matter how pretty the night sky is or how bright the stars are, her eyes would always find it's way to you. Because to her, you are singlehandedly the most breathtaking person in the universe.

Her nicknames for you includes starlight, sweetheart and jellybean. She pretty much comes up with a new one everyday depending on her mood.

Obviously it's common knowledge that she's a busy woman, but when she has free time, she spares no time to make the most out of it. What you both always like to do together when she's free is cooking/baking.

She enjoys the thrill out of it since getting good results from following instructions was always fulfilling for her. However that's not always the case, somtimes she can mess up and get easily discouraged by her mistakes to which you'll be the one coming in to do the saving.

"I'm so lucky to have you..." She'd say with her face covered in flour after her attempt of shaping the sourdough. You can't help but laugh as you grab a napkin to wipe her face clean.

She memorises all your favourite things fast. From your favourite smoothie to your favourite scent, she has all of it noted down into her mind.

Funny enough, Lorsan always run to you for help everytime Lyca is mad at him for something. You're the reason half of the time she let's him off easy.

She also has your intials carved into her bow. It serves as a reminder for her to always be safe when she sets out for her battles.
