falling asleep on zanka's shoulder in the car after a mission.
enjin's driving always drives you insane.
but leaning into zanka's warmth drives you to achieve the highest level of insanity no man has ever witnessed.
you sit beside zanka in the car, and with enjin behind the wheel, the road seems much rockier. however, something was off. it was awfully quiet today, with the car speaker apparently broken.
still, enjin hummed loudly. the broken speaker didn't seem much of a problem to him.
zanka had one arm propped up against the window, gazing out at the scenery. after a long day out on a mission, he finally looked calm for the first time today.
you felt your eyelids grow heavier, your body and mind unaccustomed to the absence of the usual noise booming out from the speaker.
zanka noticed how you started drifting off to dreamland, your head snapping suddenly everytime you tried to fight the drowsiness that was pulling you in. removing his arm from the window, he moved closer and settled beside you.
you felt him nudge you lightly, taking your hand in his, drawing small circles on the back of your hand. your mind was too hazy from the feeling of sleepiness to properly react to his touch.
feeling zanka's presence close to you, your body relaxed comfortably and finally succumbed to the will of hypnos.
as if acting on muscle memory, your head lay on zanka's firm shoulder, and he willed himself not to move until you woke up, which is probably when you reach the headquarters, but he doesn't really mind.
enjin took a glance at the rearview mirror and saw zanka's head on top of yours. your hands were linked, with fingers intertwined, on zanka's lap. he couldn't resist the smile forming on his face. if only he had a camera in hand and wasn't driving right now... the blackmail would go crazy.
"yep, should definitely bring them together on more missions," was what enjin thought at that moment, before he almost crashed on a rock, which he thankfully avoided, but almost snapped the two lovebirds (you and zanka) sitting at the back of the car awake.
you'll probably not be the only one to wake up feeling flustered to the moment you realize you slept on each other's shoulder, with your hands unashamedly locked and intertwined.
because even zanka goes insane at the slightest of your touch. not that he's complaining.

ft. tamsy, enjin, zanka x reader | 1.3k words. (each varies in length) | masterlist.
no pronouns used. fluff. kisses. eating food. petnames were used (only a mention or two, darling/babe). enjin chokes (sorry, heâs an idiot).
TAMSY CAINES ËËË
you were at a small and modest cafe with tamsy, taking a break from the travel on the way to your job today.
you sat in front of him, munching on your own slice of strawberry cake, while he calmly drinks his tea.
tamsy held a newspaper in one hand, and a teacup in the other, he drank while reading, seemingly immersed in the news written on it. the tea glosses his lips, and he licks the corner of his lips with his tongue.
how could he have such pretty pink and plump lips?
you pouted while chewing, puffing your cheeks a bit. who wouldnât be jealous of such pretty lips?
tamsy brought the newspaper down and pinned his gaze on you with one eyebrow raised, and an amused smile.
âyes, darling?â
you averted your gaze from him, feeling the blood rush to the tips of your ears.
ânothing,â you mumbled, and took another bite from your strawberry cake.
you heard tamsy shuffle from his seat, and the next thing you know, he was sitting beside you with a teasing look on his face.
tamsy leans on the table with an elbow propped up, as you look at him, flustered and clueless.
âw-what?â you stuttered.
âyouâre so adorable, have i told you that?â tamsy teased, the smile never leaving his face.
the words were lost in your mouth. tamsy, the ever so elegant and beautiful giver in all of the cleaners hqâheck, in all of the people in the ground, evenâ, with his gorgeous glowing eyes and lips, just called you âadorable,â and you have no fucking idea how to respond to his all-knowing but seemingly innocent smile.
âstop looking at me like that,â you looked away from him and his eyes.
tamsy chuckled. âyou have something on your lips.â
âwhat? where?â
âhere.â
tamsy held your cheek, and leaned close to your face. his lips lightly touched the corner of your own.
âall gone,â he said with a smile.
you felt your brain short-circuits, your face heating up from his touch, the feeling of his lips lingered on yours.
tamsy caines, the devil of a tease you are.
ENJIN ËËË
enjin sat next to you in the dining room of the cleaners hq and wolfed down the lunch food you were given.
âslow the fuck down, enjin,â you reprimanded him.
âi chanât! thiz ish way two goodfh!â he talked with his mouth full.
you cringed, and rolled your eyes at him.
why do i like this man?
still, you canât deny enjinâs words. after a long day of work, all you want to do is eat everything in sight to quiet down the rumbling in your stomach.
you rapidly ate your food as well, but slow enough to not choke on it.
speaking of,
enjin let out a hard choking sound, and tapped your shoulder aggressively, but not too harsh.
âwhat?â you glared at him, just to let him relish in the consequences of his actions, despite knowing what he needed at that point.
âw-whaâŠteâŠr.â he pointed at the row of glasses and the pitcher of water in front of you, coughing and choking on his food.
you hurriedly poured him a glass of water, which he took from you with shaking hands. you watched him chug the water down to satisfaction.
enjin slammed the glass on the table and heaved a sigh of relief.
âwhew, that was a nice lunch.â
âyou almost died,â you said, as a matter of fact.
enjin grinned at you foolishly. âthatâs not enough to kill me, babe.â
âyeah? youâve got sauce on your cheek.â you pointed at his right cheek.
âha? where?â he made unfruitful attempts to wipe it off, unaware of where it was.
you sighed. âright here.â
you took a napkin and wiped the sauce off his face.
âitâs gone.â
enjin looked at you with innocent eyes. âyou have sauce as well, on your lips.â
âi donâtâ?!â
enjin leaned in, placed his hand on your neck and kissed you on the lips, just a quick kiss but enough to leave you flustered (but you are not going to show it to him, no!)
âwhat the freak, enjin?â you frantically looked around to see if anyone saw what he did. luckily, everyone seemed to be focused on their own food and groups of people.
âoops, my bad. i thought it was ketchup, turns out it was just your lipstick.â enjin smirked.
âwipe that smirk off your face, you jerk!â you hissed at him, careful not to shout out loud.
âdonât hit me! i know you love me, babe!â
enjin, you are going to be the DEATH of me.
ZANKA NIJIKU ËËË
you were at the common room, watching rudo and riyo bicker while playing cards.
it was your day off. or rather, team akuta just decided that today was team akutaâs day off (enjinâs nowhere to be seen right now).
you sat in the corner on a couch beside zanka, with a pack of biscuit on your lap. more snacks and two cans of fruit juice were on the small table in front of you.
âthis goes on top of this one, rudo,â riyo corrected the spherite boy.
rudo scratched the back of his head. âi donât understand this game at allâŠâ
you giggled at their interaction, it was nice to see them getting along so well. with rudo joining the cleaners, going on jobs just became more interesting than before.
you looked at zanka, and saw his brows furrowed as always.
zanka ate the chips in his hand while staring at nothing. his mind seemed to be elsewhere. after the fight with the raiders, jabber specifically, when rudo almost got kidnapped, you knew he wanted to train as hard as he could, to prepare in case the raiders attack again. but you told him to take it easy today, to rest just a little.
you know zanka is strong, but of course, telling him that is not enough. he always wants to strive even harder, and you love him for that. you just hope he doesnât strain himself too much.
âwhat?â
zankaâs voice pulled you out from your pool of thoughts.
you responded, stammering, âwhat?â
âyou were starinâ at me,â zanka said.
you shook your head and waved your hands in front of your face, while holding a biscuit in your right hand. âwhat? no, i wasnât.â
âstop lyinâ. what is it?â
ânothing. itâs just thatâ oh, you have something on your lips.â you pointed out to him.
you were going to tell him he needs to rest his mind too, not just his body, but you were distracted by the crumbs of chips on the side of his lips.
âhm? where?â he tried brushing them off.
you reached your hand out, and wiped them off yourself. your finger lingered a little more on his lips.
brushing your finger again on his lips, you leaned in to him. closing the gap, you kissed him on the lips.
zanka sat there, dumbfounded, with no idea what to do or what happens next.
you giggled a little. âyou messy eater.â
ây-youâŠâ zanka fumbled over his words, his face was flushed red, and he could feel the loud beat of his heart against his chest. âiâm not a messy eater,â he mumbled.
you chuckled and poke his chest teasingly. âsure, sure.â
âget yer finger off meâŠ!â
you laughed at how red his ears were.
âthat finger is clean, excuse you!â
âah, rudo, get used to it,â you heard riyo say, she had a smirk on her face.
oh. you completely forgot you werenât alone with zanka.
rudo stared at you both with big, open red eyes. surprised? yes. shocked? yeah. shy? yep, why didnât he realize before that you and zanka were a couple?
zanka was still flustered and speechless. his eyes darted back and forth at you and at riyo and rudo.
zanka nijiku, youâre so cute when youâre flustered.
đŻ i need sleep and tamsy. enjinâs an idiot and i love him for it. flustered zanka is my meal day and night. #girlbreakfast #girllunch #girldinner
and yay finally i posted a masterlist for my works... brah
used to sleeping alone in his huge bed, leona kingscholar canât help but find himself stuck in place in your embrace.
the huge space beside leona was occupied tonight⊠by you.
he was used to having all the space to himself, and you were used to hugging a pillow or a stuffed toy to keep you company at night in your sleep.
so, when you slept together with leona for the first time, you suddenly snuggled close to him in the middle of the night, waking him up from his usually extremely deep slumber.
leona couldnât move in his place for hours, and itâs the first time in his lazy life he has been awake for hours. he has been caged in your arm that you have set on top and wrapped around his body.
he was suddenly conscious by the pace of his breath, the beat of his heart, and the sound of your snores.
you were cuddling him without even meaning toâcurse it all if you remember this in the morning, more so if you wake up still in this position.
shit, is all leona could think about as he stared into the ceiling for hours until finally drifting back to sleep.
leona would never admit he got flustered by what happenedâshocked, perhapsâ, lest if it was all a dream, how embarrassing for a prince like him to conjure a nightmare like that.
though itâs for sure the very morning after (since it was, fortunately or unfortunately, not a dream), when you wake up to find yourself hugging the arrogant lion prince and you profusely apologized for your arrogant act, he makes sure to tease you about it.
as if he didnât lose hours of sleep trying his best not to move. oh, leona.
the zanka nijiku likesâno, he loves being babied.
zanka loves it when he has your full attention. he's yapping about something? you have your head on your palm, staring at him, listening to his words carefullyâand most importantly, remembering micro details that went on his day. you'd have his favorite drink in your hand before he could even ask for it. your eyes would already be on him before he could even find yours. and you'd find him even in the midst of the crowd.
zanka loves kisses. you'd lie on top of him and pepper him with kisses all over. you could be sitting beside each other, and you'd be holding his hand, the other on his cheek, your lips against his. you could be out on a mission together, and you'd take his hand in yours before setting out, gently massaging it and kissing the back of his hand. surely, he should be the one doing that, but he's not complaining.
zanka loves hearing âi love you.â it's not something he easily got used to because he didn't grow up in a household that wore their emotions on their sleeves. but you'd say it so openly, like it's normal to loveâit's normal to love a zanka nijiku. he rarely says it himself, but you don't hold it against him. you once told him that that way, hearing him say those words would feel more rewarding than anything because you know they're sincere. and he may never admit it, but hearing those words from you always makes his heart thump like he had run from the sphere and back.
zanka loves hugs, even more than he loves kisses. he feels safe within your arms, warm in your hold. a feeling he wants to be in forever, his euphoria in dystopia. it is in your embrace he feels loved the mostâhe doesn't need words to prove the affection and security you have given him, your embrace is more than enough. when times are hard, silence heals his wounds as long as you are by his side, and you are willing to hold him together.
and of course, zanka loves compliments. it doesn't even need to be explained any further. just a simple, ânice one,â or âgood job, zanka!â from you is enough to make him go through a hellish month. he'd be smiling from ear to ear whenever you say something good about him. he would show off just for your eyes, for you to tell him how cool he is. your compliments play like a broken record in his head, and he never forgets those moments you'd say good things about him.
zanka nijiku loves being loved, especially if it's you. because love didn't start when he loved someone, it started the moment you loved him, and he let himself be loved.
thinking about how leona kingscholar would listen to you yap all day, under a tree, as he dozes off to the sweet, comforting, familiar sound of your voice (heâs fighting against it, he swears).
leona leans against the bark of the tree with his eyes closed, his arms propped up behind his head. your head lie on his lap as you fiddle with the soft fur of his tail, talking and talking like thereâs no end to your tale.
leona is amused by how theatrical you are with your elaborate storytelling about what went on with your day. he chuckles softly, his canine tooth showing through the small parting of his lips.
one moment, heâs laughing, the next, heâs already snoring.
leonaâs eyes fluttered open as your weight disappeared from his lapâseeing you sit up straight with your arms crossed, brows furrowed, and lips formed in a frown.
âyouâre sulkinâ,â leona says, as a matter of fact, shifting in his seat.
you rolled your eyes at him. âwere you even listening?â
he scoffs in arrogance. ââcourse i was. you were tellinâ me how youâd have gotten more sleep if only your duo in alchemy wasnât a pain in the ass.â
a smile made its way to your lips, and you playfully hit his thigh.
âthought you left me off for dreamland.â
leona takes your wrist and pulls you close to him. he leans close to your neck and breathes, âyâknow iâll never doze off to your ramblings, yeah?â then he plants a kiss on the corner of your jaw.
he backs away for a bit and stares into your eyes. you could see how sleepy he is by the droop of his eyesânot that he was ever not sleepy, anyway. but you appreciate him staying awake just to listen to you talk.
âliar,â you grabbed him by the collar and pulled him close again, your noses almost touching. ââŠi donât mind if you drift off, anyway. iâm already happy youâre here.â
leonaâs eyes showed a glint of mischief, and the next second, his sharp teeth were grazing the skin of your lips as he crashed his lips onto yours.
you clutch his collar tighter, and a muffled groan escapes leonaâs lips. he takes hold of your hand and intertwines his fingers with yours.
pulling away, he had a smug look on his pretty face. âwhat? canât talk anymore?â
you gave him a quick kiss. âless talking, more kisses.â
âand here i thought youâre gonna yap all day.â
still, he gave you what you wanted. more kisses for now, the talking can be continued later.
right now, heâs fully awake. later⊠youâre not so sure if heâd still be when you start yapping again.

(á”âĄá”) Hello! I hope you are doing well. In case you aren't, that it gets better!
Could you, please, write gachiakuta (enjin, zanka) separate, reacting to someone flirting/hitting on them and girlfriend (reader) is right there? đ§ââïžWhat would they say?
oh, anonâŠ
in which your boyfriend gets hit on, and youâre literally right there.
the audacity
ft. enjin, zanka x fem!reader | 1.6k words (each varies in length) | masterlist.
jealous reader. petnames (in enjinâs). zankaâs a tease (the audacity).
ENJIN ËËË
âi like your tattoos,â someone butted in to your conversation. your brows furrow subconsciously as you look at the girlâs hand lying rather comfortably on enjinâs arm. âwhereâd you get them?â
enjin responded quite gleefully, appearing glad to have someone take an interest in his absolutely flamboyant and cool tattoos that he is so ever proud of. he was wearing a red shirt, and he rolled up its short sleeve to showoff his tattoos more.
âi see.â she traced enjinâs tattoos up and down, and he doesnât seem fazed one bit. âwhatâs your name?â
the girl was smooth with her lines, her tone was even and subtle, though with a seductive hint to it. you were picking it up, but apparently, your idiot of a boyfriend wasnât, and itâs starting to piss you off.
âitâs enjin, andââ
âheâs not interested.â you glared down at the girl, then at enjin. âare you?â
enjinâs eyes snapped from the girl to you, his golden orbs shaking in panic, and his mouth was starting to twitch in fear.
âo-oh, yeah, no, no. iâm not. sorry,â enjin said in a hurry, his words jumbling as he stuttered through it.
the girl frowned, clicked her tongue, and rolled her eyes at you before leaving the two of you alone. you canât believe she had the guts to act like that after flirting with your boyfriend in front of you. in. front. of. you. and your salad.
âbabe, iâm so sorryââ
you pretended to check your choker. âah. semiu, iâm needed at the headquarters? right now? okay, iâm on my way.â
âhey, donât ignore me,â enjin whined and tried touching your arm, but you successfully evaded him.
âyeah, no. iâm alone right now.â
enjin frowned. âyou donât love me.â
after dropping such an insane line, enjin took a look at you with his head still low, only moving his eyes to see you.Â
you looked like a volcano about to eruptâyour brows were furrowed, the glare in your eyes were piercing, and you breathed heavily like youâre about to tell shout at him while punching him or something (but he knows you love him too much to do that, okay. although, he wouldnât blame you if you opt to do so⊠he probably deserves it today.)
enjin lifted his head, scared of what would come next after his foolishness.
he tried giving you a stupid wide grin, but you looked away, feeling tears forming in your eyes.
seriously, why would you tear up over something like that? so stupid.
seeing this, enjin reached out to you and pulled you into his arms, embracing you.
âmy jealous baby. iâm so sorry.â
âpull a stunt like that again, i fucking swear, enjin. just try, you jerk,â you felt a slight tremble in your voice, but willed it to sound commanding until the end.
âiâm sorry, okay? i didnât know, really, i swear!â he pulled away and looked you in the eyes. âi got too excited someone asked about my tattoos. iâm sorry, babe.â
âdonât i pay attention to your tattoos enough?â you rolled your eyes at him.
âiâ, oh, come on, y/n. kiss?â he puckered up his lips. âplease?â
âno.â you tried pushing him off you, but he held you tightly.
âi love you,â enjin said, still pouting.
âokay.â
âokay?! no, âi love you too, enjin, my baby. i forgive you, so hereâs a kiss for my handsome lover.â?â
âbe ashamed of yourself. youâre almost thirty.â
âweâre gonna grow old together. you gotta get used to it!â
you felt your face flush at the stupid, seemingly innocent statement he so casually said. you looked further away from him, as much as you could. âwhatever.â
enjin grinned at you, feeling your flusteredness through the strong facade you had put on. he leaned in and kissed the tip of your nose. âyouâre the only one, okay?â
you looked at him straight in the eye and said, âthat better be the case for the entirety of your life.â
enjinâs smile grew wider, and he got so excited he kissed you so quick you were afraid heâd hit all your front teeth at the impact. âyes, maâam!â
âstupid,â you whispered. âlove you too.â
to say you were pissed at him is an understatement. you want to choke the hell out of your man. but you gotta forgive his honest mistakes⊠and probably dote more on his stupid (cool) tattoos.
ZANKA NIJIKU ËËË
you were out on a trip with zanka on your day off, happy to finally have the time to spend togetherâalone, peacefully, no enjin in sight to tease the hell out of you two.
but as you stroll around the plaza, you notice someone trailing you from behind. you got your guard up, but didnât tell zanka about it because you know he deserves this rest more than anyone.
having no idea who it might be, you zankaâs hand a little tighter, earning a concerned look from zanka, which you quickly brushed off as âjust missed you lots.â
who knows if itâs a pickpocket, murderer, or worse, a raider following you from behind?
you started losing track of the person⊠and suddenly, a girl appeared in front of you.
âzanka, itâs actually you!â
zanka looked at the girl, surprised, then said a name you never heard of.
âyes! oh my god, you remember me?â the girl responded enthusiastically, taking zankaâs hands in hers. âiâm so glad! but i mean, you were always nicer to me than anyone else in the room.â
âwhoâs sheâŠ?â you whispered to zanka.
zanka looked at you, uncomfortable at the situation he got caught in. âan old classmate from the academy.â
âyeah, thatâs right! you are?â she didnât even give you a chance to answer. she continued blabbering on, her hand still clasping zankaâs. âi still remember zanka would always defend me from our classmates who said iâm weak. but itâs okay. i left the academy and found something better for me. it was sad though, cause i wasnât able to see you anymore, zanka.â
you tilted your head in confusion, staring at the way the girl caressed zankaâs hands casually.
âand⊠did you guys hold hands or something? cause you look rather comfortable doing that,â you warily asked, hoping the answer would disappoint you.
zanka tried to say something as he also tried to pull his hands away, but the girl beat him to it, moving closer to zanka and said, âhe used to hold my hand when he defended me from our classmates, you know!â
zanka didnât even hold your hand until a few months into dating!
âah. i see,â your voice came out sounding bored. at this point, you already had your arms crossed in annoyance. âso, you guys⊠i donât know, liked each other, then?â
zanka wasnât even saying anything, his eyes just darted between you and the girl holding his hands.
âwell, you could say that! right, zanka? you were always so nice to me. and the others would tease us too!â
zanka stammered, seemingly speechless with the unfolding events.
you had an eyebrow raised, your head tilted to the side, asking him for an honest answer.
âthatâs notââ
the girl cut zanka off. seriously, does this girl ever let anyone else speak?
âzanka, itâs okay. no need to be shy to your cousin,â she said with a proud smile.
cousin?! what the actual hell.
you felt your head boiling, and you clenched your fists in your crossed arms. âyeah, cousins. iâll leave you two rekindle that old love of yours then. bye.â
âwaitââ zanka tried calling you out, but you already walked off.
what the fuck?
you know your emotions are just getting the best of you, and itâs really stupid and you donât even know exactly whatâs making you mad.
zanka finally caught up to you, still panting after running after you. he took your hand in his and made you face him.
âwhat?â you asked him, your tone turned out rather crass. âneed anything, mr. oh-youâve-always-been-nice-to-me-zanka?â
zanka rolled his eyes at you. this boyfriend of yours had the guts to roll his eyes at you.
âyouâre beinâ unreasonable,â he said plainly.
you let out an offensive gasp. yes, heâs right, but damn it, can he please catch a hint?
âreally, zanka? someone comes up to you, saying youâve got this old love with her, and holds your handsâand tells me youâve been holding hands since what? since youâve been in your mothersâ wombs?â
âbecause thatâs all there is to it. end of story.â
now, it was your turn to roll your eyes at him. âyou donât even hold my hand unless you really feel like holding it,â you whispered to yourself.
âwhatâd you say?â
ânothing.â
âyou think iâd run after ya if i liked her and not you?â zanka pulled you closer to him. âand i never liked her. i was just⊠actinâ cool, ya know? i told ya that before already, about the kind of person i was back in the academy.â
you averted your gaze from him, biting your lip in guiltâyouâre well aware of how wrong your reaction came to be, but it was really annoying to witness that kind of thing when youâre supposed to be enjoying your time alone together.
âwhatever you say,â you mumbled.
zanka pulled you into a hug. âyouâre my first love. ya know that, right?â
you sank in his embrace. âiâm sorry.â
âsâokay. you shouldâve seen her face when i told her youâre my girlfriend.â
âstop it.â you hit zankaâs arm playfully, and he swayed you around a little.
âmhm. ainât gonna lie, yer jealousy is cute.â
âshut up, zanka. we almost broke up, and thatâs what you say?â
âdonât think youâd do that,â he broke the hug to look at you with a smirk. âlove ya too.â
after that day, zanka would always find a way to hold your handâand heâs no longer flustered when he does so.
đŻ not gonna lie.. i had to use everything in my power to figure out how this would work out because i donât have a single idea about this kind of thing. sorry iâm bitchless as fuck. and itâs kinda funny cause iâm a very jealous person (when it comes to my friends) but i found it so hard to reflect that here. also, i really love making enjin suffer. i had to make zankaâs be someone who knows him from before bc i feel like to randomly approach zanka, youâd really need to have the GUTS to do it.
and⊠i think i always write zanka to be this flustered loverboy he is that i forget he has a bad attitude. yes, i love that sharp tongue, baby, thatâs exactly why i fell in love with him.
zanka nijiku doesnât know what to do when you start crying in the middle of an argument.
before zanka could finish his sentence, his tensed shoulders eased, his furrowed brows straightened, and his words disappeared into the back of his throatâall because he could see how your eyes started to glisten with tears, and how you bit your lip to stop your tears from falling.
he freezes on his feet as your sobs break the deafening silence, unaware of what to do at the very moment, even though it has happened times before whenever the two of you fight over something, no matter how big or small the problem is. and one thingâs for sure, he doesnât like seeing you like this.
zanka hates it when this happens, most especially because he knows heâs part of the reason why youâre crying.
he chews the inside of his mouth, contemplating whether to give you space and leave you alone or find a way to comfort you and hold you close. ultimately, he ended up choosing the latter.
zanka looked back at you, as you desperately blinked your tears away. he could see you dig your nails deep in your palm.
he took a step forward, careful and calculating, trying to make sense of whether youâd push him away or accept him.
zanka pulled you in his arms, caressing the back of your head in an attempt to hush your sobs. he mutters apologies as you cry on his shoulders. you apologize back to him, aware of your own shortcomings, but he only shakes his head and tells you youâre okay, heâs sorry.
for you, he would lower his pride. for you, he would listen to your side. for you, he wouldnât run away from his problems; rather, heâd face and confront them head-on.
zanka hugs you in the waist as he lays his head on your lap like a cat. he urges you to play with his hair, otherwise, he'll start getting grumpy and whiny.
he listens to you yap about what went on with your day and simply hums as a response. âhm?â âmhm,â âhmmm.â sometimes, he'd say a word or two.
when you ask him about his day, he'll tell you, ânothinâ much. it was boring without ya.â
if you try to get him off you, he'd only hug you tighter, asking (begging) you not to go yet because he feels comfortable and warm around you.
afterwards, you'll tease him about how clingy he is, and he acts so nonchalant about it, but he's actually painfully aware of how clingy he gets with you.
when you're out with everyone, he acts like he doesn't cling to you like a needy cat when no one's watching. he keeps a short distance from you outside, but when you're alone? your personal space is his personal space.
