Lysander with pregnant Candy

Lysander is such a caring and considerate father-to-be. He’s always putting your needs before his, and is constantly wondering what he can do to make things easier on you and your body. 

I feel like in the first 0-3 months, he wouldn’t mind you working on the farm with him, in fact he would encourage it because the exercise is good for you and in turn good for baby! But when you finally start getting a bump, he really doesn’t want you straining yourself. It’s not that he wants to control you, but farm work is a lot! Lots of lifting, pulling, pushing. It could be too much for you so he only lets you take care of the easy stuff, like picking the apples, feeding the animals, etc.

Honestly it’s a bit worrisome for you because you wonder if he’s getting enough sleep, if he’s working too hard. He lets you sleep in as long as you need to because for some reason I feel like his kid would cause you a lottt of fatigue during your pregnancy. He shoulders a lot of the work himself, which is really nothing because he was doing it himself before you moved in.

Always there for you during your mood swings, and knows exactly what you need to feel better. “Do you want me to bring you your favorite blanket? And I can make you some hot cocoa.. Do you want your mug with the kittens or the one with the bunny?” I feel like most husbands would be exasperated after a while but the man’s patience is endless. And he’s also eternally grateful to you for willingly carrying his children, so in his eyes being patient is the least he can do.

With his kids

When his kid is born, he’s obviously there the entire time for the delivery. I feel like he would probably hire people to work on the farm for him while he’s gone because he doesn’t want to miss a single moment during labor and delivery. He would also probably hire someone to help him out a few times during the week so that way he’s able to give you and his newborn his full attention as much as he can. 

Holding his kid for the first time is the happiest he’s ever been next to marrying you. He already knew he was in love with his baby but physically seeing them, holding them, kissing their sweet little baby cheeks, it’s something he never could have imagined. I think he would be in absolute awe, and he would also be thanking you as well. He’d brush your hair out of your face, wipe the sweat off if need be and kiss you sweetly on the lips, “Thank you, my love. This is the greatest gift you’ve given me, she’s perfect. You’re perfect.”

And yes, I say she because I 1000% headcanon Lysander to be a girl dad, I think most of the fandom does. He’s so soft with her too. Not that he was ever an aggressive man but god the way that he’s so gentle with her. If the baby isn’t with you, you can find her cradled in her father’s arms, him whispering to her how much he adores her, probably even softly singing to her. He’s huge on skin to skin contact so he’s always shirtless nowadays lol. 

When the baby is a bit older, whenever she’s old enough to start actually comprehending the world around her he’s constantly teaching her new things. Words, numbers, animals, and he speaks to her as if she’s a full grown adult sometimes. It’s so funny.

I feel like Lysander would absolutely get matching clothing with his kid. You bet your behind they’ve got a matching color palette. He’s wearing a green cravat, she’s wearing green hair bows. That sorta thing. He also has immaculate fashion sense for his child, so unless you want your kid ruining all of their nice clothes do not let him dress the kid. “Lysander we’re going to the park, why is she wearing the 200 dollar dress my aunt bought for her??” I mean really… have you SEEN the way he dresses? Idk why we expected anything less. Leave it to him and she’s leaving the house dressed to the 9’s every time. He thinks it’s the cutest thing ever.

Is probably what you would call a ‘gentle parent’. He never, EVER raises his voice at her, and even when he’s frustrated he’s really good at keeping his cool and handling whatever outbursts she decides to have that day. He’s soft, but if she’s being bad he’s very stern with her and is surprisingly good at holding his foot down even though she’s got him wrapped around his finger. 

Is definitely a good parent in all stages of his kid’s life. Toddler, child, preteen, etc. Not that your kid doesn’t trust you but if she’s in trouble or needs something she’s ABSOLUTELY going to call her dad first. It’s like he’s waiting by the phone just in case she calls because he always answers on the first ring no matter what. 

(A very short Lysander blurb I’ve had on my mind for a while.)

(So glad to be back oh gosh! in this story the farm and the house looks just a tad different, ive always imagined sitting on the porch with lysander having coffee or tea so im indulging in my own little thoughts here lol i havent written anything in like years at this point so forgive me for any typos, forgive my rustiness and forgive me if you just dont enjoy the story lololol)

Living on the farm was a drastic change, but it was a change that you welcomed with open arms. The stark contrast of waking up to the sounds of birds singing versus the aggravating honking of cars, people yelling down the halls of your dorm. There was something different about the air there, something that wrapped you up in a blanket of peace and warmth, even if it was currently a bit chilly at the moment. 

You sat outside on the front porch, hands tightly gripping the mug of coffee in your hands to absorb as much of its warmth as possible. The mug was probably a bit too hot to be holding that way, but the cold in the air balanced it out. It was about six o’clock in the morning now, you had gotten used to waking up earlier and earlier due to Lysander’s routine. At first you didn’t hesitate to fall back into the mattress, going back to sleep within seconds but slowly you had come to enjoy getting an earlier start to your day. It wasn’t a daily occurrence that you were up before him though.

It was the middle of Spring, so while the weather was nice during the day, the mornings were still a crisp cold until the sun would come up. But it wasn’t a bad cold, in fact it was actually pleasant the way the morning breeze brushed your skin. You took a deep breath and sipped your coffee, whatever leftover drowsiness you had slowly faded away along with it. You leaned against the wooden railing and got a bit lost in thought, not hearing the door open softly behind you.

“Good morning lovely,” Lysander spoke up, startling you a bit but it made you giggle. You never understood how he managed to be so light on his feet. He tiredly rubbed his eyes and stretched before walking over to you. 

“Good morning to you too, did you sleep well?” You looked up at him as he stood beside you and kissed your forehead, moving your hair out of your face as he did so.

“I always sleep well with you,” he smiled, and it made you blush. He had his own mug in his hand as well too, whoever made coffee in the mornings always brewed enough for the other to have some waiting for them whenever they made it out of bed. It was an unspoken thing between you both, and always filled your hearts with warmth at the small but loving gesture.

Lysander stared into the distance, watching the sun begin to creep up along the horizon. It’s golden rays spilling over and landing perfectly on his face. His eyes always seemed more intense in the sunlight, especially his golden one. He was undeniably handsome whether he knew it or not, and you couldn’t believe he was yours. Of course, he could say the same and more about you and would not hesitate to let you know.

“Sunrises must have been made just for you, my love.” 

You’re suddenly very aware of the way he’s looking at you, complete adoration in his eyes. From his point of view, the sun was creating a golden aura around your frame, making you seem almost unreal, almost heavenly. It was a bit cliche how the wind started blowing just at that moment and he swore he fell in love with you every day. The way his eyes seemed to bore into your soul always made you a bit nervous, in a good way. “You always look breathtaking this time of the day,” he tilts your chin up and kisses you, his lips soft and his touch gentle as always. 

Your face is no doubt heating up at this point, but you have no shame in that. “You’re a true womanizer, you know that Lys?” you joke with him. He cocks his eyebrow up at that, a small smirk forming on his face and he shakes his head at your little joke. “I highly doubt that.”

He wraps his arm around you and pulls you into his side, both of you continuing to watch the sun come up. 

You had been living with him for a little over a year at this point and even still, you never got tired of times like these. In fact, you weren’t tired of any of it. Waking up next to him, brushing your teeth together, cooking and eating breakfast together. The domesticity of it all had you feeling warm inside. You leaned into his chest and wrapped your arms around his middle, taking a deep breath and his scent filled your nostrils. You both stayed like that for a while, him occasionally stroking your arm or hair, and you rubbing his back. Before you knew it, the sun had fully risen and you were ready to start your day until-

“gerrrrrghhhhhhle”

You jumped at the loudness of your stomach, both of you laughing at that. “I guess I forgot about breakfast, you hungry?”

He didn’t have to answer, because right at that moment his stomach also growled, a little louder than yours, and you both burst into laughter at that. 

“I guess we have our answer then,” you giggle. He nods in agreement and lets you lead him back into the house by his hand. “Come on, I’ll make you your favorite?” you offer.

“Blueberry pancakes?”

You nod.

He perks up at this, fully awake now that you’ve promised him a treat. “Absolutely. Lead the way, love.”

Making your breakfast is quick, not having to do much except make the batter and flip the cakes. It goes by even quicker with Lysander by your side handing you the ingredients you need as you go, and before you know it you’re sitting at the table with him ready to gobble down. 

You’d never doubted it to begin with, but the content smile he has on his face as he takes a bite of his pancake reaffirms that you wouldn’t trade this life with him for the world. 

Coincidentally enough, he’s thinking the same thing, appreciating the simplicity of it all. Being with you is the easiest thing he’s ever done. Nothing has ever felt so natural to him, and the simple act of eating breakfast with you makes his heart feel full. He watches you cut into your pancake, and he wants this feeling everyday for the rest of his life. 

I FEEL YOUR PAIN LYSANDER IS AND ALWAYS WILL BE MY BABY

I added some general UL Lys headcanons as well, hope you dont mind~

Fluffy UL Lysander headcanons

So for University!Lys, I’d really like to think that he’d grow his hair out to be a little longer. Not tremendously long but maybe to his shoulders, and he would wear it in a low ponytail, of course his bangs are still in his face. He normally would keep up with cutting it but after a while he just stopped caring, and of course it helped a lot when you expressed that you like his new hair length. Sometimes he’ll cut it back to his normal length again, especially when it gets hot outside. Either way he’s still a beautiful man lololol

In my personal opinion I full heartedly believe Lysander would sell his farm eventually and come back to society. He kept it solely for the emotional ties he had to it because of his parents, the memories, etc. He was sad and didn’t want to let go. But he got to a point where he realized that there was no way in hell he wanted to be a farmer all his life. He sold it to whoever, goes up to visit every now and then but other than that he’s done with the place. He’ll come back and enroll in school, what his major is I’m not sure yet. Something musical or writing involved.

Now onto the relationship aspect of you two <3

One of Lysander’s favorite things to do is walk you to class in the morning. I feel like he would probably live off campus (since he would most likely get annoyed with a roommate and the lack of privacy) so he drives to school extra early so that he can be there to walk you around. It’s cheesy and you always tell him he doesn’t have to do this but he always dismisses what you say, he likes doing it, and it’s also partially him just being protective. Normally campuses are a lot bigger than they are in the game (at least where i live) so he probably even drives you around as well depending on how far the building you have to go to is. He does prefer walking though because it gives you both time to catch up a bit throughout your busy schedules. Just being able to hold your hand and chit chat is one of his favorite parts of the day.

With him living alone he probably invites you over a lot, and depending on how far your relationship goes you’d more than likely move in with him at some point. So it goes from him showing up to walk you to class, to you both getting ready in the morning side by side. Brushing your teeth together, showering together, having your morning coffee. They are simple but intimate things that mean a lot to him. Of course you don’t do this every single morning but the mornings you do he takes in every moment of it. Once you get to campus and have to go your separate ways he never lets you leave without a kiss. Lysander is a private man so of course he’s not fully making out with you, but he still needs his goodbye kiss >:( Whether it’s a kiss on the cheek, forehead, lips, hand. Just a kiss pls.

If you still choose to stay in your dorm, expect lots of random love notes with flowers attached being sent to your dorm on the days he knows he won’t be able to walk you. It’s nothing extravagant because that isn’t his style but that doesn’t make it any less sweet. He’ll write a quick paragraph, maybe saying something like “I’m sorry that I won’t be able to walk you to class this morning, but I’ll be there for sure tomorrow morning. I love you, have a great day my love~ Lys” with your favorite flower attached. Simple, but loving.

He looooves study dates. Even if your subjects are completely unrelated he loves just being around you. Lysander is definitely the type of partner that you don’t need to actively be doing anything with to enjoy spending time with them. You get your homework done in peace, and if you’re struggling with anything he helps as much as he can. Don’t ask him for math help though, just don’t. 

Yes he still loses his notebook around campus, it’s gotten to the point where you’ve attached a tracker to the cover of it. 

During your free time or lunch break at work he always stops by just to check up on you, and he even helps you at the cafe sometimes. He doesn’t care if he isn’t getting paid (and neither does Clemence lololol) he just wants to take the load off your back if it’s too busy. He might stop in with lunch for you two to eat on your break. You might slide him a free drink here and there, which he never asks you for but it’s always appreciated. Even when you say it’s on you though he still tries to pay for it lol. 

He is ALWAYS there to pick you up when you’re done with your shift, especially if it’s dark and you’re closing alone. He shows up a bit early in case you happen to get done faster than normal, but he’s never bothered if closing takes a little more time than usual and will offer to help you clean up so you guys can get home.

Lysander does have a habit of forgetting his homework assignments at home so every night you pack his bag and make sure everything is in there before you guys leave out the door the next morning. You’ve saved his ass on more than one occasion lmao if it weren’t for you he might be failing one or two classes xD

I’m absolutely dying right now lmaooo I’ve never even thought of this before this is going to be fun (definitely let me know if you guys wanna know the story of the two times I got a little too high for my own good lmaooooo)

Warning: marijuana is mentioned heavily in this, I will have it tagged so you can have it blocked but just in case I’m letting you know ahead of time!

Lysander

Ohhh man okay so the question is, how is Lysander getting high in the first place? I definitely don’t see him willingly being like “Oh yes, pass the blunt please.” Don’t see him as a smoker at all. Maybe an edible that he eats unknowingly? Let’s say someone brought edibles to a small get together, and everyone knows except for him because he shows up just a bit late and everyone forgets to mention it to him lol. I’m gonna just go ahead and say it was a cookie edible. He eats some of it, but thinks it tastes really weird so he only eats about half before throwing the other half away (what a WASTE Lysander). He doesn’t mean to be rude about it but he’s not going to eat something if he doesn’t like it lol. Nothing against the person that made it, it could just be him personally considering everyone else seems to be enjoying it.

Fast forward about an hour. Lysander is quite a tall dude and if I remember correctly, he’s on the heavier side when it comes to all the boys. So you really gotta give it a good hour or so to kick in for him. He’s sitting down enjoying himself, talking and laughing. Gosh, everyone is so funny tonight? He’s really having a better time than usual. You’re also there with everyone. The topic is: bad jokes. You’re up next, and you crack a really corny one. “What do you call a row of rabbits hopping away?”

“What?”

“A receding hare line!”

And Lysander literally just can NOT stop laughing. And he’s slowly becoming aware of the fact that something isn’t right but right now all he can do is laugh and laugh and laugh. People are actually getting concerned because he’s laughing so loudly and he rarely ever does that? And then someone realizes oh shit you ate a cookie didn’t you lololol Honestly you might have to watch him for the night because if you aren’t careful he might start freaking out because he doesn’t know what’s happening so PLEASE explain it to him. “Lysander you’re going to be okay, you just accidentally ate an edible but it’s fine. You didn’t eat the whole thing and I’m here for you if you need me, okay?” And he’s just like oh god someone help me. He’s better off just lying down for the rest of the night. Give him some water, some nice tunes to listen to through a pair of ear buds and he’ll be fine. You’ll occasionally glance over to see him giggling randomly throughout the night and trying but failing to sing on key to the songs playing Ends up falling asleep lmaoooo

Hyun

Hyun, Hyun, hyun…. poooooor poor Hyun xD He is also the type of person to not willingly smoke something. He’ll have a few drinks here and there, but smoking? No thanks. So his situation is the exact same as Lysander’s, accidentally eating an edible. He didn't show up late and heard the announcement, but he was sure they said the BROWNIES were edibles, not the cookies. So, he takes one, eats it. He also thinks it tastes kind of weird. Not bad, just a really peculiar flavor. BUT Hyun doesn’t want to be rude to whoever made the cookie so he eats the entire thing… the entire thing…. oh god.

I feel like while Hyun is tall, he’s also a bit smaller in weight so the cookie probably only takes about 45 minutes to take effect. He’s standing with a group of his friends, his eyes focus on you as you talk. You’re telling everyone a story from back when you were a teen and rabbits got loose within the school. He’s listening, but then he realizes: what are you talking about?? Why does everything coming out of your mouth make absolutely no sense? And also why can’t he stop squinting so much? Also why can’t HE FEEL HIS JAW?

Hyun is definitely the one you’ll have to keep an active eye on throughout the night because unlike Lysander, this boy will actually start to freak out. He can’t focus on anything clearly, he feels like everything is moving and slow motion and if he doesn’t sit down right now he’s going to pass out lmao. Give him some water and just sit with him for a bit. Talk to him to make sure he knows he’s not in any danger, and just let him cuddle you until he calms down a bit. He’ll be okay, the poor baby has just never experienced anything like that in his life hahaha. After that he’s just super chill and you’d almost think he’s tired but nah he’s just chillin! Leave him be, he’ll be okay. Definitely gets really bad cotton mouth though so make sure to give him lots of water, and keep it in a closed bottle or else he’ll just keep spilling it everywhere.

Castiel

Okay so Castiel is probably the most likely out of the three to smoke on his own accord. But even then I feel like he’d have to really be in the mood for something like that, he doesn’t just get high on a regular basis or anything. Especially not around a bunch of people so this get together is definitely something small with a close knit group of friends. Maybe after a study session with the gang, someone offers it up and he’s like ehhh why not? He doesn’t get himself insanely high like the other two because he actually knows what he’s doing and how to pace himself, unlike the other two who had no clue what was happening lol. More of a blunt guy than an edible so this works out a little better too. But if he has an option he’d definitely prefer a dab pen, so he can just hit it once or twice and give himself a nice relaxed high. He knows when he’s getting a little buzzed too because he starts to feel lighter. You don’t need to watch him because he’s got himself covered lol. He’s a lot more friendly when he’s high too! Not super nice like Hyun or anything, but he jokes around more, laughs a bit more at jokes, and if you keep eye contact with him for too long he’ll burst out in laughter like “Pffffft…. stop staring at me creep.” And give you his little side smirk.

Oh yeah you thought I forgot about one of the main side effects? The boy has MAD munchies xD like, he’s just guzzling an entire bag of chips, or eating some random left over Chinese food he found in the fridge, not even bothering to warm it up. Any food item in his line of sight is getting consumed. He’s that high person that makes weird ass combinations too, like pickles on top of pizza, or peanut butter and potato chips. If he’s at home while high he might even make himself a full ass three course meal, not even caring about whether or not any of this is healthy for him. He refuses to go out and get fast food though because last time he did that he ended up spending 35 dollar son McDonalds and the reality didn’t even hit him until the next day. He’s not broke but he’s not rich either lmao.

Ouuu my favorite baby ;-; I’m still sad that he won’t be in MCLUL man

Also I don’t know when but at some point this turned into a mini one shot and I’m not even mad about it because I love him so much lmao definitely went a little crazy with this one ugh he makes my heart clench hope you enjoy it ;-;

Going by in-game canon, you lost contact with each other after breaking up and moving away, all of that. So I feel like the only logical way you’d get back into contact with him is either A. Trying to contact him yourself which probably fails because he may have a new number, and he’s not exactly on social media too often. And then B. You end up being acquainted with each other again because of Rosa and Leigh! Obviously Rosa is going to be throwing hella holiday parties, so Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years, and then there’s the birthday parties, so of course Lysander pretty much HAS to go to these things, it would be strange if he didn’t considering he’s family lol And with you being Rosa’s best friend, you KNOW she’s gonna invite you to all of these. It’s pretty much fate that you two would end up back in each other’s lives at some point.

So let’s say it’s Leigh’s birthday, and you guys want to go out for drinks? Lysander isn’t much of a drinker but he hasn’t seen his brother in a while and it would definitely be nice to catch up.

You walk into the bar, find the table everyone is sitting at and walk over. You don’t realize Lysander is standing mere feet away from you because the first person you see is Rosa and Alexy who smother you in hugs before you even get the chance to greet anyone. You sit down, glancing over at Leigh “Happy Birthday!” You’ll say enthusiastically, before turning to your left and realizing that Lysander is sitting right next to you. “L-Lys?”

You don’t mean to call him by his nickname, it just slips out naturally. Having called him that for all of those years, it would feel weird for you to NOT call him that, You both just kind of stare at each other for a second, not meaning to be rude but just slightly shocked at the sight of one another. Why you’re surprised to see him, you aren’t quite sure. It’s his brother's birthday, why wouldn’t he be here for that? Yet even still, the thought of him showing up hadn’t crossed your mind at all. Lysander on the other hand, may have thought about it in passing. He did recall his sister in law telling him about how excited she was that you were back in town. Yet even with this in mind, seeing you in person sitting right next to him catches him off guard. How many years has it been since he last saw you? Last spoke to you? He’s not sure, but he does know that while you probably have changed in some ways, and so has he, you still look the same as you did before. And this makes him a bit nostalgic.

He snaps out of his daze finally, and gives you a small smile. “Hello, Y/N, it’s been quite a while… How are you?” You notice his voice is a bit deeper than before, but still smooth and clear sounding. His clothing style is a bit more casual, but still prim and proper, almost elegant. He still has his classic cravat tied around his neck, but this one is a nice navy blue color. ‘So different yet still the same,’ you think to yourself.

The rest of the night is spent chatting, laughing with everyone. Rosa brings out a birthday cake for Leigh and you all sing for him, blow out the candles, the whole shabang. Once that part is over with, you all enjoy yourselves by dancing, a few more drinks here and there, all in all having a good time. Lysander doesn’t exactly dance, but he does enjoy watching everyone look silly with their half drunk dance moves and whatnot. You decide to hold yourself off of a few drinks, not wanting to get too drunk in front of Lys lol you find your way back to each other that night, and at some point get into a nice conversation, not too deep but not awkward small talk either. You both enjoy hearing what the other has been up to, he’s happy to hear that you’ve finished school and received a new job. You learn that he decided not to keep his parents farm as time goes by. I personally feel like at some point the farm life just wouldn’t be for Lysander. He’s made it clear that he and his brother prefer the city life and that’s the entire reason they moved away. It would only be fitting for him to sell it off at some point to pursue his own dreams. You learn that he majored in music at a smaller college, and he now produces songs for various artists, and even a few small films. Occasionally he performs during open mic night at the bar when he’s feeling up to it . Unlike Castiel, he didn’t want to be put directly into the fame and spotlight.

The night ends, and you say your goodbyes to each other. Expect him to say something like “Goodnight Y/N, it was nice seeing you again.” It’s a typical response, you know this. But if you know Lysander, you’ll know that he genuinely means it.

Meetings like this will happen again and again at various other family events or random get togethers. Eventually when you two become a bit closer again you’ll exchange numbers, and that’s when you start seeing each other on your own. Maybe he happened to be on your side of town and wanted to see if you’d meet up with him for coffee? Or maybe you happened to bump into him at the grocery store, and you just decided to keep hanging out after that.

The entire process of getting into a relationship again is quite slow though. You’ve dated before yes, but he also doesn’t want that to be the basis of your relationship with him. You’ve both grown and changed quite a bit as people, and there may be things he doesn’t know yet that he’d like to take time to know before getting with you again. In a realistic timeline, you guys probably don’t end up dating until some MONTHS and months later.

(No worries! Hope you enjoy these though!)

*boys with a chubby MC who is very self conscious

Kentin

-I feel like out of all the boys he’s the most understanding of your self-consciousness. He was always a slender guy but he was still self conscious about the way he looked all the time, because he wasn’t as buff as the other dudes, and he constantly got picked on when he went away for school. So he definitely gets it.

-But even so, it still makes him sad that you feel this way about yourself because in his eyes you’re literally gorgeous, how could you not see that? He’s definitely the boyfriend who hyped you up on social media whenever you posts pictures. He comment under an Instagram photo with a bunch of heart eye emojis and kissy faces lol “you look great babe!” Always posting you as his “woman crush Wednesday” or corny things like that on Facebook lol

-He’s constantly reassuring you that you look good. If you’re out shopping and you don’t want to buy something because you think it looks bad on you, he’ll convince you to buy it anyways, or he may even buy it for you! “Y/N, you’ll like amazing in anything you decide to wear, okay? Please let me get this for you?” Ugh he’s so cute.

Lysander

-Lysander may appear to not care what anyone else thinks, and for the most part he doesn’t, but there have been times when he’s overheard someone saying something about how he dresses weirdly or something. He doesn’t let it get to him because those are their opinions and that’s fine. But when it comes to you? Absolutely not. He’s not a confrontational man and he likes to avoid conflict when possible but something just really grinds his gears if your feeling insecure because someone is talking about you. So he’ll definitely speak up if a situation like this were to occur.

-He always always makes sure you know how beautiful you are. You could be wearing sweatpants and an old t-shirt, looking a hot mess but he still thinks you’re cute lol. He hypes you up too mainly in person. “That dress looks gorgeous on you, love.” Or if he didn’t get a chance to tell you in person he’ll be sure to call you or send a text just to tell you! “I wanted to tell you in person, but you looked absolutely breathtaking today.” He isn’t on social media that much but occasionally he’ll pop up in your notifications “Lysander hearted 57 photos”

-Also expect to see a picture of you as the wallpaper on his phone, and he definitely has a cute selfie of yours tucked into the clear slot in his wallet.

Nathaniel

-Nathaniel has never been subtle about how attracted he is to you. He may not say it bluntly like “you look hot today” but you’ll definitely know what he’s thinking by the way he has a slight blush on his face and how he’s looking you up and down, trying to be sneaky about it but failing. So he really doesn’t understand why you’re so self conscious because you’re literally so pretty? So he’ll be sure to tell you that every single day, even if he doesn’t see you he’ll call you to tell you. Hes got photos of you plastered all over his locker door too lol he’s not one for mushy things like that, but he’ll make an exception for you.

He’s not going to tell you not to feel insecure because obviously it isn’t that simple but he doesn’t allow you to down talk yourself in front of him. If you even try to utter a word out he’s like NOPE you’re beautiful let’s go on a date. He’ll listen to your concerns but even then he just shuts them down. “Y/N I know you don’t always like the way you look, but I always do and I think you look amazing all the time.”

Hiii. The last hc made me think about something else: how would the LIs dance with Candy (HSL, in this case, but you can put the ones from UL too)? Not like the last event, which had genres we don’t usually hear in a common party – I want to know how they would dance with her (if she insisted... or not) in a dance club, bar or similar. (Looove your hcs and I’m very happy you’re active again!)

Lysander

Lysander will happily slow dance with you, or playfully dance with you in private but in a public setting like this?? Good luck lmao he’s not one to dance to party music, it’s just not his thing. If he does happen to dance to it then he’s not really doing much, maybe moving side to side, spinning you around or something lol

Lysander is a very straight forward guy and he’s not going to do something he doesn’t want to do, even if you’re persistent about it.

He’ll politely decline. “No thanks, but I’m sure Rosa or Alexy would have no problem joining you.” “Are you suuuure Lys?” “I’m sure Y/N” he’ll say with a small smile

Don’t bug him too much about it after that either. He doesn’t like being pestered about things, especially when he’s already given you a clear answer. Just leave it at that. If a slow song comes on then sure, he’d love to. He much prefers a calmer setting when it comes to this.

While he won’t join you, he really likes watching you! He loves seeing how happy you look, and how carefree you seem out on the dance floor. If you’ve got the moves, it impresses him a little. He’ll compliment you on your skills for sure. “You looked amazing out there, love.”

The only way you might get him to dance with you is if he’s a little drunk, but again good luck because he doesn’t enjoy being drunk at all and even then he’s nothing but a sleepy drunk. Or if you’re at home like I said earlier he’ll get into these playful moods with you where you two are just goofing around a bit and he’ll bust out with some cheesy dance move like the sprinkler, or the Carlton lmaoooo it’s really surprising coming from him but when he’s 100% comfortable with you he can be pretty playful sometimes.

Castiel

I honestly think Castiel can dance, but he’s extremely secretive about it. At parties, sure he’ll dance with you but it’s nothing special, just your basic party dancing. He’s not busting out any crazy dance moves or anything. Don’t expect much more than that. He’ll probably stop after a while, preferring to sit down and have a few drinks. He does think you look really cute dancing with your friends though, and he enjoys watching you shake those hips.

But, back to the fact that he can dance!

He won’t blatantly tell you that he can, it’s never something that he brings up because he doesn’t want you to immediately ask him to show you something. You’ll find out when you’re at his apartment probably. You stayed over and the next morning you guys got up a little early to make breakfast. You put on some music on your phone, the songs are on shuffle and then “moves like jagger” comes on. You notice him bobbing his head to the beat, humming the words. “Since when do you listen to Maroon 5?” Lolololol he’s not an avid pop music listener at all but come on, no one can resist a good bop. He’ll just shrug his shoulders and keep on humming. A little bit into the song you’re both dancing, jokingly at first. And then the chorus comes in and the man just busts out a whole fuckin spin and moon walk like… what??? Since when? And then he just continues on cooking breakfast like he didn’t just do that. If you bring it up he acts like he doesn’t know what you’re talking about

Nathaniel

Nope. No no and no. Gosh Nathaniel is such an awkward dancer. Even when he slow dances it’s nothing too crazy because he’s scared he’s gonna look stupid lmao. When you ask him to dance he’s very hesitant, and he’ll probably say no at first. A little more coaxing or begging he MIGHTgive in but even then he’s already blushing like uhhh idk about that one chief. His dancing is very stiff and a little funny looking but if you’re enjoying yourself he’ll endure it for you lol much like Lysander it’s nothing special. Moving side to side, mostly following your lead. Just guide him a little bit and he’ll eventually get the hang of it lol After a while though he feels silly and wants to sit back down.

Definitely not, I have no problem writing for a male!candy at all! And that’s actually a good question, what DO we call male candies?? Mike and Ike’s?? Idfk xD

(Also these aren’t like super romantic but I assumed you guys were dating? Hope that’s okay! And this came out more gender neutral than male!candy than I wanted it to, sorry about that!)

Dakota

Dakota looooves all things marine life, and because of this I feel like he may be very interested in the mythology of mermaids. I don’t think he believes in them, but he definitely thinks they’re cool.

That being said, since he is a lover of the ocean you’re really going to have to come out with some sort of excuse as to why you won’t go swimming with him. You could go and just get your feet wet but Dake would want to take it further and start trying to splash you or drag you further into the water. So just say that you’re scared of the ocean or something, make up some story behind it lol he’s convinced he can make you get over that fear.

BUT a really cool job for you to have that would also make him really happy to see is being a merman for the local aquarium! Idk what it’s called exactly but those places where they have the person dressed as a mermaid swimming around in a tank to entertain the kids? He’d love seeing you do that! You invite him to come and see you, using your employee discount to get him in lol. And he goes to your section of the room and is just so in awe. Your tail looks so… real? The way the scales reflect off of it, the way you seem to handle it so well. Just remember to breathe through your oxygen tube every once in a while so that he doesn’t realize anything fishy (HA) is going on. And it doesn’t contradict anything because he understands that a controlled tank of water is a lot less intimidating than an ocean, which can get really aggressive at times.

He’ll wait around for you until your shift is done just walking around the zoo for a while, which works out because that gives you time to change back into your human form in your changing room. When you finally catch up with him he’s just like “Babe that was absolutely incredible, I don’t know how you manage to swim so freely in that tail. And your form is perfect!” He’s so proud of his fish boi.

If you want to tell him that’s up to you but in this scenario I feel like he’d find out by catching you out somewhere lol like maybe it’s really late at night and he decides to go for a walk on the beach. He invited you to go with him but you aren’t answering the phone. He takes his usual route, straight down the beach. He gets to his usual spot, but then feels the urge to go a little further for once. He sees a bunch of rocks and boulders, climbs on top of them to get a nice view of the ocean. Such a beautiful moonlit night. And as he’s basking in this view, that’s when something catches his eye further out in the water. Did he just see… a tail?? He brushes it off as just an abnormally large fish, but then a few minutes later it comes up again and he’s like aye mate what the FUCK?? Lmaooo he climbs back down and is about to rush towards the water when he sees a pile of clothes. Very familiar looking clothes at that. Are those… are those the clothes he saw his boyfriend wearing earlier? He looks out again and waits to see if something will come up again. And after a few moments, he sees a head poke out. It’s dark, and yet he still knows thats it’s you. “Y...Y/N!?” And when you frantically turn around and the dip back under the water, it’s confirmed for him lol

You’re out of the water now, you haven’t fully dried off so you’re still in your mer-form. He keeps looking back at you, back at your tail, back at you. “....So this is why you don’t go swimming with me…” he’s not even upset about you not telling him he’s just extremely shooketh. I think a good way to get him used to the whole thing is to just take him for a dive. Kind of like riding a dolphin but… a merman instead lol. Take him as deep as you can go, he’ll really enjoy being able to see all that marine life up close and personal. More points if you rush to the surface and leap through the air, he’ll have the time of his life.

Lysander

Lysander has never been too interested in mythology. He does enjoy reading the different beliefs and folklore stories from around the world but he isn’t an avid myth believer. Just not something that crosses his mind too much.

And honestly you don’t have to try too hard with him when it comes to making up excuses as to why you can’t go swimming or something, because he’s just a ‘go with the flow’ kind of guy. He likes swimming and he does enjoy playing around in water sometimes, but he won’t push you to go swimming if you don’t want to. If he’s at the beach he’d much prefer to just relax on a lounge chair with a good book or his journal, the environment gives him a nice motivation boost to write! Maybe some nice fruity drinks from the bar with you by his side, just enjoying each other’s company. He does, however, find it really strange how panicky you get when it starts to rain very hard, so good luck finding an excuse for that one lol. He’s like, it’s just water? Get an umbrella and go it’s fine??

One thing he does find ironic yet also really likes about you is your love for the sea. He goes to your house and there’s just so many insane looking seashells and pictures from underwater (which he assumes you printed offline somewhere lmao). You’ve also got a box full of what you like to call “lost things”, and he thinks that’s pretty cool. It’s full of items that people have lost in the ocean. Earrings, pendants, sunglasses, bracelets, etc. he’s kind of in shock at some of the things you have in there because some items look SO expensive! Why you haven’t sold them and became a millionaire, he isn’t sure of lol. Just say you found them on multiple beaches though because how are you going to explain how you dove into the ocean and found a real pearl necklace??

I think your best bet with Lysander is to just tell him that you’re a merman. Of course he’s not going to understand where you’re going with this so just like, take him into the bathroom and sit in the tub. “Y/N what are you doing??”

“Just give it a few minutes, you’ll see Lys!”

And so he waits, kind of wanting to chuckle at you because he thinks you’re playing but also waiting because you seem to be very serious for some reason.

A few moments go by, and he’s about to say something again when he notices it. Your legs are..molding together? You’re growing scales, and FINS??? What is happening? And you guys know that face Lysander makes when he's really surprised or embarrassed by something? Imagine that but like 10x. Lysander rarely ever gets freaked out but right now? He is NOT okay.

“Lysander, I know it’s a lot to handle but please just calm down.”

“H-how are you…???”

Honestly just give him a moment to process everything. He’ll eventually calm down on his own and be okay enough to speak to you but for now just let him sit down and take it all in. I mean, can you blame his reaction? You’re a literal MERMAN. HALF HUMAN HALF FISH. He doesn’t know what to think. When he finally can speak, you can feel a little relief off your shoulders because at least it’s not a deal breaker. He’s actually kind of satisfied knowing all of this now, because now all of your strange behaviors have reasoning lmaooo “So that would explain why you hate people who eat seafood so much.”
