#riyo ripper

These were written mostly with platonic relations in mind.

Bunny!Follo whose foot subconsciously thumps on the floor excitedly when you scratch behind his ears.

Fox!Tamsy who likes to burrow under the blankets with you to sleep. You’re burning up but it’s such a cute habit of his that you deal with it.

Dog!Zanka who is terrible at lying because his tail wags when he’s nervous or excited. You know he’s lying when he hides his hands behind his back.

Hyena!Jabber who has spot-like birthmarks on his back. He likes to lay across your lap and let you count them when you’re bored.

Bull!Zodyl who is constantly buying you new pillows, because his horns keep accidentally snagging the fabric.

Leopard!Enjin who likes to carry you and climb on to tall buildings. He likes being high up, and he knows you’ll get scared and cling to him tighter.

Bear!Bro who gets sleepy around hibernation season, but tries to fight it as long as possible to spend more time with you before the winter.

Lioness!Semiu who secretly enjoys play fighting, but is so competitive she never lets you win, always pinning you to the floor with a smug grin.

Tanuki!Riyo who thinks it’s funny to jump on your back when you’re not paying attention, trying to catch your unsuspecting self off guard

Jackal!Rudo who always cuts his claws short because he accidentally scratched you one time and felt bad that they made you bleed slightly

Mouse!Fu who will hide under piles of blankets when he thinks someone is mad at him, and only you can ever coax him out his hiding spot

Deer!Amo who likes playing hide and seek, and is surprisingly really good at it. You almost gave up after it took nearly an hour to find her last time.

Ram!August who will headbutt you when he wants your attention only to turn around and pretend he didn’t just poke you with his horns

Sheep!Eishia who will make little gifts for you from her wool. She always tells you to throw it away if you don’t like it, which you would never do

Wolf!Gris who tries to look scary to intimidate others but the moment you hold his hand, his entire demeanor softens

Riyo Reaper x Gn!Reader - Angst - Short - Cleaner Reader/Ex-Relationship/Acceptance/Moving on/Lowkey yearning/ etc!! SPOILER FREE

The grueling realization that someone you used to love doesn't need you in their life is hurtful. They might even be doing better without you, thriving and finding peace. But why can't you do the same?

It was cold, the morning was always chilly. Whenever it was as bad as it was today, Riyo would usually bring you closer to her. She'd bury her head into your neck, hands creeping up your shirt looking for warmth from the skin to skin contact. In return, you'd rub her back, the friction resulting in heat that made her shivering stop.

When it was time to get up for work, which you usually did first, she'd always whine. "I'll freeze to death without you here!" she'd cry out, arms stretching and hands motioning for you to get back into bed.

You'd always give in. "Just five more minutes." you'd tell her, slipping back in beside her. She'd immediately latch onto you, her cold fingertips brushing your skin. And well, once the five minutes were up, you had to go. A small kiss on her forehead before you left to do a humble cleaners duty.

She'd always hug your pillow after you left, all she wanted was to feel you in her arms. Sometimes she'd tell you all about how she wishes it could last forever, and you'd agree with her everytime.

Now, whenever you wake up, you're alone in bed. You always think to yourself where it went wrong. Why it couldn't last forever how you both claimed to want. At least you weren't late to work anymore, but a step in your daily routine felt missing, and it made your heart hungry for something that wasn't yours anymore.

What hurt you most about the break up? How calm she was. She didn't seem affected at all, she just kept moving. You were glad she was doing great sure - but her lack of emotion compared to the absolute wreck you were afterwards made you feel sick.

Seeing her laugh in the common room, how swift and clean she was during missions, how could she even get up in the mornings? Her room was freezing, she always needed you to help her fall asleep.

She seemed to be thriving without you in her life, in contrast to your decline after she left. You had almost become a ghost at HQ. Barely leaving your room, being sloppy on missions. It caught her attention, and although you weren't together she tried showing you kindness nonetheless, hoping it'd make you feel better.

Small smiles, gentle waves, tiny gestures like this that made you realize she still cared. Yet how come you were taking the breakup completely different?

A while after the break up, Riyo approached you about it. She was tired of seeing you mope around. You had been isolating yourself from other cleaners, barely ever coming out of your room.

It was sunset, you were out for some fresh air on the roof of cleaners HQ, trying to clear your head. She had been hunting you down all day, about to give up when she finally found you. She should've checked this spot first, after all, it's where you guys used to hang out and have deep conversations.

"Care to explain what you're doing up here?" Riyo asked. She already knew, it was always the same reason. Her voice sent shivers up your spine. Great, the someone you're trying to clear your mind of just intruded it again.

"Needed some air." you reply, cold but voice a bit shaky. She walked over to you, sitting down next to you.

Riyo sighed

"What's your deal. We break up and now you're all depressed and mopey.. killin the vibe around HQ y'know." she says.. Straight to the point, usual for her.

"Nothings my deal." you reply, cringing at how awkward you feel.

"I know when somethings up with you, just tell me, please." she said, concern piling up in her throat as she instinctively reached for your hand.

You hated how much her touch still affected you, heartbeat speeding up as her sweet voice drowned all of your previous anger.

"Talk to me..." she begged, her eyes soft and serious.

You hesitated, how could you even begin to explain everything you've been feeling since the relationship ended.

Yet, you managed. It all began spilling out. How you miss having her wrapped around you every morning, how it hurts that she doesn't care as much as you. The way it doesn't even seem like she needed you in her life to begin with, simply everything.

You were holding back tears by the end of it. It felt as if an immense weight had been lifted off your shoulders, but Riyo's silence left you worried.

"I'm sorry.. I didn't want to make it seem like I don't care. I just didn't want you to see me that way.. " she spoke. "The truth is, I still try to find your warmth every morning. I wrap my arms around the pillow you used to sleep on. I dream about you sometimes - all the time. How it could've been different." she continued, glancing over at you, tears forming at the corners of your eyes.

"But I won't act as if it's the end of the world for me. My life will go on, and so should yours. Even though you aren't here, not with me, anymore. I'll always love you - even if I have to do it from afar." Riyo said, creeping closer and inviting you into a hug.

Tears poured out of your eyes. You grabbed onto her so tight as you burried your head into her neck and she rubbed your back.

"I love you too... I don't wanna - lose you." you sobbed, resulting in a few tears falling out of her eyes as well.

You could still feel it, weeks after. The words she said to you on the rooftop ringing in your ear. You had listened to her, began socializing again, you were able to get out of bed and perform better on missions.

Of course you still missed her, but she was right. You both needed to move on, it was hard, but you did it. Because you loved her, even if she isn't yours anymore.

Enjoy!

The door to the small shared quarters slammed open with more force than necessary, the red haired girl barging into the room with more force than necessary. she kicked it shut behind her, wincing as the motion pulled at the deep bruises blooming across her ribs and shoulders. Today’s run had been brutal — a nest of particularly nasty trash beasts that didn’t go down easy, even for someone like her.

Imagine if Zanka and Riyo fight him and they manage to defeat him in a tag battle, and when they go to land the killing blow, Jabber just SCREAMS so loud, sobbing like Azula from The Last Airbender.

Zanka and Riyo freeze and Jabber just curls into a ball, wailing "Stop, stop...I'm sorry...IT HURTS, STAAHHHOP!"

Riyo and Zanka just look at one another, hesitating, before they decide to lower their weapons, because while they won the fight, it's not a fight to be celebrated, it's a fight where they see the REAL Jabber Wonger, one that is not as victorious as it looks.

"What-what do we do?" Riyo asks as Zanka walks over.

"I...I'm not sure," Zanka just looks as lost as she does. "But we can't just...leave him."

Riyo walks over and notices Jabber is unconscious, sighing as she bends down.

"Let's go," she says. "Help me grab his arms."
