#mgr raiden x reader

How will he be like if he's your boyfriend?

A/n: Hello! It's been a while since I last posted. School's been taking a toll on me resulting in writer's block and procrastination 💔 But I'm back now and ready to write! Remember, these are my own interpretation and headcanons for him so please do not harassed me about them.

Also, this was based on Raiden in Metal Gear Rising Revengeance as I haven't played the other games yet (I will soon 😞). Obviously, him and Rose are not together as this is about you and him. Without further ado, I hope y'all enjoy this!

Snowed in

You never understood why people liked sitting around, doing nothing but watching the snowstorm outside, until you were snowed in yourself. Unable to get through your front door because of the literal wall of snow, you found yourself trapped in your own home, though on the bright side, you wanted not for food nor company, because Raiden was there with you. He'd come over the night before for dinner and a sleepover, and now he was snuggled up with you on the couch, his heavy metal arm around your shoulder, languidly staring out the window while the snow fell rapidly, like millions of little white dots covering up the sky.

"You sure this is comfortable?" You heard him ask, the first words he'd said since he told you to move over so he could sit down.

"Yup," You mumbled absently, resting your head on his chest, the soft whirring of his internal machinery filling your ears. You'd expected to feel cold metal pressing on your face, but you were pleasantly surprised. Raiden's chest radiated heat, better than a fireplace. He was so warm, so relaxing--you could have stayed like that forever.

"I love you," You whispered, running your hands up and down his sleek, smooth chest. "I love you so much. Just want you to know that."

"Hmph," Raiden huffed, pressing a soft kiss to your forehead. From the tone of his voice alone, you'd have thought he disproved of your words, but in reality, he was smiling.

"What's the matter?" You teased, playfully bumping your head against him to produce a dull thinking noise that really accomplished nothing, but it was fun to do. "Are you embarrassed? Blushing even?"

"No," Raiden grumbled in response. "Cyborgs can't blush anyway." Despite his words, he kept his face turned away from you, no longer caring about the storm outside.

"Sure, I believe you," You mumbled, stifling a yawn. Being snowed in all day really took a lot out of you. Raiden answered you with a grumble, grabbing a blanket that had fallen onto the floor earlier and wrapping it around you.

"Get some sleep, okay?" He muttered, fondly ruffling your hair. "We've got nowhere to be anyway."

KISSING RAIDEN

REQUESTED FEMALE READER!

note: hello! no problem honey ;) i know you requested female reader but i did kind of write in this second person?? type of way so hope you don't mind i don't really use any pronouns while writing ♡♡♡♡

warnings: none

raiden definitely has problems with showing affection, which includes kisses, hugs, hand holding and overall intimacy

however despite that fact, raiden loves kissing you

probably won't be the first to engage into it, so let's sure you're a bold one ;)

he prefers delicate kisses over rough ones, he leaves the latter for well, let's just say, bed time

while kissing him, you can often taste metal, no, literally, metal due to his lower part of the mouth

his lips aren't very soft let me tell you that, on worse days, they are straight up chapped, screaming "i need moisture or i will die"

so next time you go shopping, bear that in mind and maybe like a good girlfriend buy him some chapstick?

he will probably not know what to do with it and eat it so...

after kissing him in public, he will for sure have a red flushed face and be embarrassed about it

if someone dares tease him about it, though, his high frequency blade is definitely gonna end up dirty in blood

he also gets kind of cute? while kissing you

so kiss him for too short of a time period and he will whine like a baby

"mhm some more please"

bring it up though and he will totally deny it

-Despite his tough exterior and serious demeanor, he is the sweetest, most protective and loving baby boy in the world, he just doesn't know how to express it.

-Wants nothing more than to protect, care for, and cherish you for the rest of his life.

-While Raiden has no nicknames for you, as he just calls you by your name, Jack does.

-And OHHH BOOOY are there many, not all of them good. He calls you Sweetie, Babe, Dollface, Sexy, Hot stuff, Psycho, B*tch (affectionately), and Mine.

-Loves to do arts and crafts with you, those long nails claws of his are perfect for precise placements of tiny materials, cutting tiny objects with remarkable accuracy, and can also be dipped in paint to create perfectly thin lines.

-Will also let you paint his metal nails, though you'll have to do it often because the polish gets chipped a lot during battle; it's honestly a miracle if the coats stay on for more than 24 hours.

-Loves it if you help him polish, clean and/or buffer his armor.

-You are free to use his face however you please, no not like that don't get dirty thoughts now you can paint it, cover him in makeup, or make goofy masks for him to wear--he'll do it all.

-Very protective of you and cuddles you whenever you have a nightmare or just need him in general, though you must voice your needs, or he'll just lay there like the metal plank he is.

-Sometimes his alter ego Jack gets out without his permission (no idea how that happens), prompting a dramatic change in behavior and speech. He essentially becomes a different person--but that doesn't stop you from living your best life with him. You and Jack manage to get along very nicely.

-Trains you so you can always be ready for battle, because he knows someday, he might not be around to protect you.

-Randomly comes up to you and drapes himself across your lap, then just lounges there, pretending he doesn't notice you're sitting there. He'll just sit there, scrolling through his phone or reading a book, casually ignoring your existence.

-It's OK though, cause the weight and warmth from him is quite nice.

-Smells like cucumber baby wipes.

-Sometimes steals your eyeliner when his runs out.

-When you guys go to the store, people get really confused cause they see the bar code on his head and wonder if he put that there as a joke or if he's actually a piece of merchandise that somehow came to life and is now roaming free.

-If Raiden is in control, nothing notable happens, but if it's Jack, he slices the cashier's head in half when the cashier attempted to scan his head, then says with a smirk: "Don't even think about it, I already belong to someone."

The reader will still retain her fighting abilities but uses them for self defense rather than trying to be a soldier again, and has a lot of respect (and love) for Raiden for saving many children that would’ve become child soldiers and having a strong will. Specifically, Metal Gear Rising Raiden, because I love that version of Raiden so much.

I love that version of him too, it was my first exposure to Metal Gear and my favorite. 💜

-Raiden had it real rough as a child on the front lines, but he'd accepted it as his past and tried to move on. Hearing that you were just like him ignited a feeling of kinship within him, and though it also brought back dark memories, he ended up trusting you much faster than he would other people.

-He was so glad to hear you'd managed to escape the military and live a relatively normal life after war--something he wished he could have done.

-He wants to know how you coped with the crushing guilt and depression because of what you did, comparing your methods to his.

-He really admires you for doing what he never could, and hopes you could help him heal, mentally and emotionally.

-Though you'll never take up arms for a country or corporation ever again, you have no trouble raising your fists to defend your family.

-For this reason, Raiden has no need to worry about your safety when he's away because he trusts you can take care of yourself.

-You respect him as much, if not more than he respects you because he goes back and rescues children who are much like yourselves.

-He has a will of steel; a mind stronger than his artificially enhanced body, which has enabled him to push through all his trauma and live.

-Raiden is truly legendary and you never forget to remind him of that every single day.

Ooh yes, here you go and enjoy.

Yandere!Raiden x Fem!Reader Isolation headcannons

-It all started out innocently enough; it was rather late at night, and you were relaxing at home, watching some TV all by yourself, when you heard someone thumping on the door.

-Before you could even react, the door burst open, revealing a single, glowing red eye staring out from the darkness of night.

-The person stomped into the room, a glowing, buzzing sword in his hand. You leaped up from your seat and raced for the phone to try and call the police, but he was too fast.

-In one swift motion, he'd caught up to you, wrapped a cold, metallic limb around your waist, and carried you out the door, kicking and screaming.

-After a while, your yelling tired him, so he set you down, pressed a chloroform-soaked cloth to your mouth, waited for you to pass out, then continued carting you off to wherever it was he was taking you.

-When you awoke, you found yourself in a dimly lit room with a bed, a table, two chairs, and a wardrobe filled with clothes. There were no windows, and only two doors. One door was locked from the outside, the other led to a surprisingly well-stocked bathroom.

-Raiden visited you shortly after you woke up, introduced himself, and informed you that you were now a "guest" here in this "facility" that he owned. He loved you so much, or so he said, and claimed that you would be locked in your room for your own safety.

-He brings in meals of astounding quality, probably having taken then from a fancy restaurant, and lets you browse online stores for anything you might desire, which he will promptly order for you.

-He doesn't let you out of your room often, but when he does, he keeps you handcuffed and on a leash, and only allows you to walk around the building and its surrounding woods.

-After wandering the premises with him for some time, you concluded the building Raiden kept you in was an abandoned factory-turned-hotel in the middle of literally nowhere; there was absolutely no chance anyone would find you here.

-And if anyone did happen to stumble upon your prison new home, Raiden would gut them in seconds.

"Can you hold still?!" You grumbled, squinting into the dark metallic cavity before you, trying to find that wire you'd just lost thanks to Raiden's sudden jump.

"I would, if you didn't keep messing with the wrong circuits." Raiden replied, sullenly. You sighed, reaching into the maze of wires with a pair of thin tweezers.

"How am I supposed to know which ones deal with your motor functions and which ones don't?" Raiden scoffed in response, casting a sour look at you over his shoulder, but otherwise said nothing. You frowned, finally finding the wire you were looking for and connecting it to what you supposed was the right socket.

It was not.

A horribly loud buzzing sound resounded from Raiden's back before an electric jolt wracked his body, causing him to practically leap off the operating table with a loud yelp.

"Shit!" You quickly reached in with with your pliers and yanked the wire out before it could cause any more damage. The crisis averted, Raiden sighed and sank down on the table, head in his hands. "Sorry, Rai," You apologized, pulling out Doktor's handwritten guidebook and flipping through the pages. "Aw, damn," You groaned, realizing your mistake. "Red wires were for the electricity supply..." Raiden sighed, shaking his head.

"You should have let Doktor do this." You shook your head, reading through the guidebook with a tight, thoughtful frown.

Today was Raiden's weekly tune up, a time when Doktor usually performed maintenance on Raiden's cybernetic body. However, recently, Doktor had been very busy with other projects and didn't have time for the maintenance operation--which was where you came in. You decided that since Raiden was your boyfriend, it was nessescary to learn how his parts worked, so you could not only help out the hardworking doctor, but have a chance to spend more time with your favorite ninja. Of course, since you had little to no experience with this type of technology, Doktor compiled a short handbook describing everything that needed to be done, which things did what, and so on.

You stared at the aforementioned book in silence before picking up your tweezers and reaching into the jungle of wires once again, this time pulling out a thick red wire. After consulting the guidebook once again, you plugged it into another socket; thankfully, nothing happened. You continued carefully rearranging Raiden's circuitry with very few mishaps hindering your progress. At the very most, Raiden's body would suddenly twitch because you pinched a nerve wire by mistake, which was something he really didn't like.

"Seriously, you're terrible at this."

"Shh, Rai, I'm almost done." You replied, plugging in the last wire before closing up his back. "Now, we move on to the arms and legs." Raiden let out a low grumble while watching you pick up a screwdriver. He sat there sullenly and watched as you unscrewed the panels on his legs, popped them off, giving them a quick wipedown with some anti-tarnish polish, then slipping them back on. You did the same for his arms, and when you were done, you headed for his face, which prompted an unusual response.

The mere sight of your fingers nearing his face made Raiden shiver. He stared up at you with his one working eye, unusually pale and deathly silent. Fearfully, he watched as you crossed over to the shelf across the room to retrieve some tools, and by the time you returned, he was actually shaking, his wide, shocked eye lingering on the screwdriver and box of screws in your hands. As you neared him, Raiden shrunk away from you, eyeing you with a cold glare. He didn't like anyone touching his face--there were too many awful memories associated with it. The two of you stared at each other in silence for a while, before you finally spoke up.

"I'm not gonna hurt you, Raiden," You said, setting the tools down. "I promise." Raiden sighed, lowering his gaze to the floor.

"Just get it over with," He mumbled, crossing his arms defensively. "And...try not to be too rough."

You nodded, gently taking his jaw in your hand and loosening the bolts that held it in place. It popped off with a loud clank, and you set it down on the table next to you. Acdording to the handbook, you were supposed to polish, then reattach it with new screws. You quickly and carefully cleaned the fake jaw, then lined it back up with the sockets and slid the new screws in. You soon became so absorbed in your work, you didn't realize the tears that were welling up in Raiden's eye.

"Oh shit, baby, did I do something wrong?" You hastily released your hold on him, backing away nervously. Raiden shook his head, a pained expression plastered on his face.

"No, you're fine....just...this stuff...brings back memories." You nodded, wishing there was a way to soothe his pain. "Finish the job," He mumbled, sounding like a dying soldier more than anything else. "Don't worry about me, I'm fine."

This was, of course, a lie, and both of you knew it. But it was his will, and Raiden's will must be done. Sighing, you took his metal hand in yours and brought it up to your collar bone, allowing him to feel the faint beating of your heartbeat.

"You're gonna be ok, Rai, it'll all be fine. I won't hurt you, I promise." Raiden blinked furiously, trying to force his tears back, but they just spilled out anyway.

He sat there on the operating table, crying silently as you worked on replacing his jaw. Once you were done with your work, you kissed his cheek, wrapping your arms around his torso, eager to comfort him after enduring what must have dredged up memories of a traumatizing experience.

Ooooh yes, I chose to do headcannons for this. Hope you enjoy!

MGR:R Raiden x Reader pampering headcannons

-Pampering Raiden usually consists of one of two things, sometimes both. Either A, you'll be polishing his metal body to keep it from rusting, or B, you'll be helping him reattach a broken or dislocated limb; regardless of what you're doing, he's glad you're there helping him.

-If you're assisting him with polishing his "skin", he'll be more than happy to let you scrub his back.

-If you're helping replace his body parts, he will hold your tools with whatever appendages he has left and patiently instruct you on what to do, where to do it, and why.

-He is normally very cagey and closed off towards anyone (except Doktor) who tries to touch his body, but with you, he's more relaxed; joking, even.

-When he's around you, Raiden lightens up a lot more than usual, even reverting back to his old, kinda goofy self that he claimed to have left behind "in the past".

-He likes having you repaint areas of his body whose paint coats have begun to chip away or fade.

-Bonus points if you do his nails tactical claws; it makes him feel beautiful and special.

-He'd do face masks with you if he had much of a face, but alas, he only has two cheeks, one upper lip, an eyeball and his nose, so looks like the only thing he can put on without damaging his metal parts is a nose strip.

-While massaging him with your hands is impossible (since he can't feel anything) using a massage machine works wonders for him. It's one of the few human comforts he can still enjoy.
