#magici: echo

thank u so much! <3 here it is:

Martin is 6'4", the definition of a gentle yet intimidating giant. He has a slightly grown out raven black buzzcut, matching his dark eyes. His fit physique reflects his disciplined nature, and he has no problems showing it off by wearing tight compression shirts or turtlenecks matched with baggy sweatpants. He has a burn scar on his right shoulder that he got from a stupid incident when he was a kid, making him look even more intimidating.

Demetra can only be described as beautiful, she has locks of wavy midnight black hair, which complements her tanned skin. She has smart grey eyes, always seeking to know more. She smells like jasmine and iris, but she won't let you close enough for you to notice. She has black painted nails and several silver rings adorning her fingers. Demetra mostly wears all black, her staple pieces being low rise jeans and fitted zip hoodies.

Evander is 5'7" and skinny, always looking unbothered. His bleached yellow hair always looks messy and uncombed. They have several tattoos adorning their olive skin, their favourite being the intricate vines-and-flowers piece on their back. He has monolid black eyes, with a surface piercing under his right one, as well as a spiked labret piercing. They often wear black tank tops, ripped jeans and leather jackets.

Harley is 5'2", almost swallowed by the baggy clothes she usually wears. Her brown curly hair reaches her shoulders and you'll always spot a pair of sunglasses on top of it, or covering her hazel eyes. She has freckles, short white painted nails and a nose piercing on her right nostril. She usually wears shoe inserts to appear taller, don't tell her you now know her secret. She loves ear piercings, she has several on both ears as well as an industrial on her left side.

Echo looks like she could be the muse of a John Singer Sargent portrait. Wavy light brown hair flows gracefully down to her shoulders, often styled in a chignon. She has sky blue eyes that look often away, reluctant to hold eye contact. Her short painted pink nails match the tiny pink semicolon tattoo on her wrist. Her style can be summarised with Vivienne Westwood, baggy jeans + tiny tops, and hidden tattoos.

Martin likes to be kissed on the cheeks, the kind of kiss he receives when he helps MC out with something important; he'd do anything as long as that's the reward. As for giving, he likes to kiss the back of the hand, like a true gentleman, and on the inner thigh... slightly less like a gentleman.

Demetra likes kissing the inner wrist while holding eye contact, as well as trailing kisses down the neck to reach the collarbones and upper chest. She loves any kind of attention to her neck, anything from kisses to sucking to simply breathing hot air on it.

Evander likes gentle and tender kisses on his lips, 'cause it's those kind of kisses he's never experienced before. He also likes to be kissed on the collarbones and shoulders, but 'like' is an understatement 'cause he will go feral. He likes to kiss their partner on the lips, exactly like he wants to be kissed; he also only recently discovered that he loves kissing people on the neck and he won't stop doing it if given the chance.

Harley absolutely loves both giving and receiving any type of kisses. She likes giving kisses on the cheek, and then pulling back to hopefully see their partner react to it. She also likes to be kissed on her thighs and abs, a strong antidote for her body dysmorphia.

Echo has a soft spot for small pecks anywhere on her face; lips, forehead, cheeks, nose, eyes: you name it. Her favourite way to be kissed is desperately and many, many times, like when her and her lover are about to depart from each other. She likes to kiss the top of the fingertips, but anywhere on the hands is fine, really.

SORRY ANON I had this in my drafts but completely forgot to post it lmfao

Martin would try to play it cool but explode inside, and MC would realise immediately 'cause his poker face isn't even that good lmao

Demetra would shamelessly ask for more after MC stops doing it

Evander would pretend to hate it and try to escape MC's grasp to hide that he's blushing

Harley would beam and offer to do it back to MC after they're done

Echo would be like Martin, she'd try to hide it except she'd fail miserably and MC would immediately realise that echo.exe has stopped working

Dominic would be like "What are you doing?" but he'd not so secretly love it

(I can imagine that sort of MC trying to pursue Evander and then failing miserably because no courting experience)

damn u got evander spot on :( poor MC would just be pining after him and he wouldn't even notice 💔

heres everyones reaction (assuming the ROs also like MC) !

Martin would initially be glad MC is shy, 'cause it'd be easier for him to pretend he isn't totally into MC. With a flirty MC he'd have no chance at hiding it, he'd be trying so hard all the time to grunt or not smile at MC's comments, that he'd start avoiding them. But with shy MC, he can't even pretend to be annoyed at them, he'd just become even shyer in return. Martin and MC would just bounce off each other's awkwardness and their conversations would be reduced to a mess of "What-" "Uh-", usually ended by Martin grunting "Uhh gotta go."

Demetra always makes fun of Evander for being oblivious in love but she's the same really, specifically only when she's involved. As in, even Evander would probably be able to tell she likes MC, but she couldn't. So, with a shy MC, she'd be very endeared and either tease them to see their reactions, or do things for them to see them smile for her or get flustered. She'd just start doing anything to get reactions out of shy MC, her favourites would be whispered thank yous, awkward attempts at making conversation and smiles. She usually automatically flirts with people she's attracted to, so with shy MC it would be that except multiplied a 1000 times 'cause, according to her,

"I just think it's funny to see their reactions."

but in reality she'd get mushy all over and couldn't help but grin when she'd set her eyes on MC, though quick at hiding it.

Evander wouldn't notice MC likes them, like at all. He'd immediately think MC hates him LMAO; and that they're different around him because of that. They'd still have a soft spot for MC, but be totally clueless that it's 'cause they like MC. Evander would still like MC but no one, and I mean no one, would know, (yes not even him). Evander and Demetra get actually very close during the story, so she'd probably notice and sit down to have a conversation with Van about his feelings.

"You do realise that's literally what liking someone is like, right?"

"Oh."

And only there and then would Evander notice. Dem would also be the one to tell him about MC's feelings, 'cause those two poor souls would never end up together otherwise.

Harley would notice MC is shyer around her and first of all be completely smitten 'cause that means maybe MC likes her back after all? Then she'd just do anything in her power to get them to feel more comfortable around her. In general she'd assume MC's shyness around hers stems from not a lot of experience or low confidence on their part, so she'd try to affirm MC often. She would also subconsciously be a little quieter around MC in fear of annoying (scaring) them by being too loud or straightforward. She'd also just blush a lot around them.

Echo would definitely be happy MC is shy, she'd be emboldened and endeared by MC's personality around her. She'd try to be a little more talkative around MC and take on the responsibility of taking the first step, trying to get MC little presents such as flowers or new pens/notebooks for the Academy. She'd also just be so happy to see MC get awkward or blush around her, 'cause it's always been the other way around for her, so she'd take it as a little win. She'd also find the courage to ask Harley for tips 'cause according to Echo, anxiety fears her and she's the queen of talking to people.

Dominic would be slightly relieved MC isn't very straightforward because of the interesting nature of their relationship. It would be a lil hard for him to improve his relationship with MC because deep down he thinks their relationship won't and can't go anywhere; so a shy MC will have a harder time with that opposed to an MC who'll just follow him everywhere and constantly flirt. At the same time he'd want to spend time with MC but he'd have a hard time trying to keep their relationship hidden and/or appropriate to their roles in the show. He'd do something he shouldn't be doing, like touch MC's hand, and then he'd berate himself for it and promise himself he won't don't it again, just to soon fall in the same trap.

Martin would hate himself for being so dumb and basically zone out several times a day thinking about the moment MC confessed their feelings to him.

Here we can see Martin in his customary attire (turtleneck) having one of those flashbacks:

Demetra would first pretend to be unbothered and to still not have any feelings for MC, but inside, she'd feel like a fucking idiot and try to make MC interested in her again (mainly by getting them gifts).

Here we have Dem listening to Adele and chainsmoking the pain away:

Evander would definitely realise like a year after MC's confession, and he'd """jokingly""" tell them something like "Hey...remember that time I rejected you? Yeah so hear me out-"

Evander after finding out MC has, you know, actually moved on after a whole year:

Harley would blame herself, both for realising so late and for hurting MC's feelings with her rejection. She would try to act like usual around MC, but people would be able to notice something is off.

Here's Harley that one night MC is sleeping over somewhere else (they're roomates at magici) so she can finally let it all out: :(

Seeing MC's face would remind Echo of their hopeful face when they told her about their feelings, so she'd try to avoid that as much as possible. She'd immediately slip up and tell MC of her feelings if they confronted her about her confusing behaviour.

Poor Echo during that convo:

Dominic would be parts relieved he didn't have feelings for MC when they did, and parts upset for having wasted the opportunity to be with them.

He would still do anything to keep up appearances, here's him after making eye contact with MC:

heres how everyone shows their love to their partner !!

Martin:

In general: Quality Time, Acts of Service

Specifically, cooking for his partner, watching Marvel movies or Bojack Horseman together, helping with studying or magic training, squatting with his partner on his back, and long conversations about how Earth is going to look like in a thousand years.

Demetra:

In general: Physical Touch, Gift Giving

Specifically, recounting every little detail about everything that happened while her partner was gone, matching skins in video games, constantly talking about her partner and just how amazing they are to everyone, studying together and quizzing each other on the material before a test, and immediately saving every picture her partner sends her.

Evander:

In general: Quality Time

Specifically, sending those "this letter has a crush on you" tiktoks with his partner's letter and asking if it's true, having siestas together, inside jokes, pretending his partner hates him, eating fast food together, and making stupid powerpoints about his partner.

Harley:

In general: Physical Touch, Words of Affirmation

Specifically, cute post-it notes in random places, pillow fights, "I love u" automated texts whenever she charges her phone, spending time with her brother together, making a special ringtone for her partner with their voice in it, and wearing her partner's clothes.

Echo:

In general: Words of Affirmation, Acts of Service

Specifically, a pinterest board for matching tattoos ideas, teleporting to her partner when she misses them, sneaking up on her partner, having a cute polaroid of her partner in her phone case, pointing at literally anything and saying "that's so me and [her s/o's name]".

Dominic:

In general: Physical Touch, Quality Time

I have logical explanations for all of them I swear

Martin is like a reef, taking the beating from the water but still standing there just like years before. He cooks really good food and snores like a freight train. He's like those splashing fights while swimming and those quiet and tired mornings after a night out. He's a great pillow and he cuts his own hair

Demetra is like the smell of the woods or the early morning in the summer. She's like those back massages you really needed, equally painful and enjoyable. Demetra is like those heavenly scratches that hit the right spot. She obsessively watches the same shows over and over again and is learning over 7 languages on Duolingo

Evander is like running on the burning hot sand with no shoes on until you reach the water. They're the thought that makes you randomly chuckle at yourself and then pout for missing them. He's like when your cat licks your tears away. He's like those lazy hangouts sitting on the ground and laughing. Evander can almost do an ollie, and he loves doja cat

Harley always puts others before herself. she is like the sunshine that shines in your room in the morning through your blinds. at the beach, she prefers making sand castles to swimming, and when it's time to leave she stomps all over them pretending to be godzilla

Echo is like foggy parks at night and overgrown plants on the side of the road. She's like those airplanes you make with bubblegum wrap. she's like scorching hot summer early afternoons, quickly slipping out while everyone is sleeping and going down to your friend's house. Echo can make cool stuff with paper, like frogs and birds
