You snuck away in the dead of night feeling a massive sense of guilt the further the distance from the only family you’d known all these years. Ajak, Druig, Sersi, all of them would be so hurt you left without a word—but would they have let you leave if you told them?

You didn’t want to be found, not for now. Maybe not ever. But those memories would always haunt you and urge you to go back and you couldn’t drown them out.

Now it was the 21st century and the Eternals were at your front door.

“Found you.” Druig chuckled, inviting himself and the others into your little apartment. “The end is here, y/n.”

“No ‘hello,’ huh? What do you mean? Why are you here?” Your voice chock-full of frustration and embarrassment.

“There was no ‘goodbye.’” Sersi replied, lightly stepping on your creaky hardwood floor, observing some of your collection. “Six hundred A.D.” She pointed to an item on your shelf. “Egypt without us?” You sat down on your couch and shook your head.

“Why did you guys come here? ‘The end’ isn’t good enough.” You demanded as Sprite sat beside you.

“Deviants are back.” Ikaris explained and you rolled your eyes.

“You can handle those. I saw them on the news.m already.” Your guard hadn’t dropped yet, but you felt tears welling just from your family being present in your home.

“A new Celestial is being born.” Sersi added, something they should have led with. “From Earth. It will destroy everything if we don’t find a way to prevent that.”

“You want to kill it?” You asked, completely horrified.

“Merely put it off until a better option presents itself.” Druig continued the conversation and your eyes widened, not understanding how that would even be possible. Your life flashed before you and you just felt lost—you had no idea what happened between when you left and now. Fifteen hundred years passed and now they were asking for your help as if nothing had happened.

“Will you come with us?” Ikaris asked and all eyes fell onto you. You felt a lump in your throat when the question was presented, and Sprite grabbed your hand and squeezed it.

“We need you, y/n. Goodbye or not, we want you there with us when we figure this out.” Sersi assured you, and you smiled lightly.

“Yeah. If you don’t, everyone might die.” Druig added and Ikaris glared at him. You chuckled out of amusement and discomfort and nodded.

“Yeah. Why not…”

Ajak

So I feel like she would look kinda shocked at first

like she would look at you with this look of what did you just say/do

and then def blush

but not hard

just enough where you would notice

cause let's be honest you notice everything about this woman

and then of course she would mutter something in Spanish and gently smack you on the arm and tell you to stop

especially if you're around anybody else

cause we all know the other Eternals won't let her live it down

And I kinda feel like she would get payback somehow

like when you guys are eating and no one would notice she would put her hand on your thigh under the table

and you can't do a damn thing about it

or when you guys get home you try to ya know have some sexy times

but you're in the dog house

not for long though cause you both can't go that long without each other lol

Sersi

So I feel like she would get the most flustered tbh

like big blush

and maybe a little giggle

and she'll probably gently hit you like Ajak depending on the situation

though she probably won't retaliate as much as Ajak does

doesn't mean she won't try and make you flustered too

but it won't be in a sexual way I guess if that makes sense 🤷‍♀️

As we all know she loves her phone

and I can totally see her taking an embarrassing picture of you and showing people as payback

and she would totally have this like shit eating grin while doing it

I do kinda headcanon Sersi as a more in-charge personality

but when it comes to her s/o

she's a complete mess

Thena

Okay this woman doesn't get flustered

usually

and when it happens there is no what in hell is she admitting it

cause for some reason when she is flustered you can't really tell

she doesn't blush (in my opinion at least)

which is impressive

all you get is a small smirk and some side-eye

which you know means trouble

last time you tried to fluster her in front of the other Eternals she just smirked and gave you this look

when everyone left she tickled you for what felt like eternity

it wasn't but felt like it

she'll also probably say something in response that makes you even more flustered than you were trying to make her

you should really know better by now not to do it

it usually doesn't work out in your favor

Makkari

I headcanon her as someone who would totally look at you and immediately start planning her revenge

like non of these ladies aren't going to do something in retaliation

and Makkari is no different

honestly, I feel like she would be the most dangerous one to try and make flustered

I say this because I can see her pranking you and it being intense

and she'll wait

so you won't know when it's coming

But sometimes

if you say or do something slightly sexual to make her flustered

she'll speed you both off somewhere and make you go through with what you said

thena

she probably doesn't know what it means but she loves seeing the photo of the both of you everytime

it makes her feel so much more safe and secure in the relationship because she finds it so wholesome and pure that you would parade your relationship with her

promises you that if she ever gets a phone you'll be her forever wallpaper, she'd probably match with you

if you ever mentioned wanting a mew one i feel like she'd suprise you with a painting of a different photo that has just as much value, so it's even more personal

kingo

he is absolutely speechless and gets super flustered when he sees the photo as your wallpaper, it makes him tear up, it's such a small gesture but it means so much

immediately changes his to one of you both that only he has, but he most likely takes forever deciding between the options

it boosts his confidence so much and he absolutely loves to brag about it with the eternals

or with your human friends

"y/n? what's your lockscreen again?" before you can even answer he just buts in with a giant grin "it's a picture of us on our first anniversary"

druig

absolutely whipped when he sees it, he swears he'd do anything for you

immediately forces you to take another pick with him for his background, the more unprepared and hectic the better

he just loes the idea of any pursuers of either of you instantly backimg off when they see tue adoration and dedication im the picture

sersi

it just leaves her grinning all day, she absolutely adores the photo

and plus the thought of you loving the picture so much fills her with happiness

she suddenly messages you a few hours later while you're at work and asks you for your favourite picture of yourself, you get home a few hours later and notice it's her phone wallpaper, she edited kt slightly by writing "my love" underneath in her cursive and writing and the date she asked you to be her partner

gilgamesh

it's an absolute blessing to him because he loves seeing your smile in the photo every time you open your phone

he loves your reaction everytime because it's almost like you've never looked at it before

when he first sees it he just smiles slightly and chuckles, wrapping an arm around you before kissing you on the head. the smile doesn't leave his face for days

makkari

she grins as soon as she sees it and wraps you in a hug

she's so over the moon that you treasure her enough to show her off to the world

asks you to send the exact photo to her so she can set it as hers to. she'll change it slightly though, she'll probably write "my forever darling" with a line eventually curling into a heart under it
