your boyfriend, who overhears others talking about how their own girlfriends would wear “too revealing clothes,” and he always scoffs and simply replies, “then don’t bag a baddie next time.” 

your boyfriend, who loves it when you snap back at others. one time, someone pointed out that they could see your bra, and you replied, “good. it was fucking expensive.” he lives for your sass. 

your boyfriend, who doesn’t see a problem with people looking at you unless they’re directly making you uncomfortable. he really sees no problem with it— people look at beautiful people all the time, right? nothing’s wrong with it. 

your boyfriend, who gets annoyed you when you get catcalled on the street, but never makes it your problem. it’s not your fault that you’re getting whistled at; you didn’t do anything wrong.

your boyfriend, who will always protect you when other men try to harass you. it’s not that he thinks you’re weak, really! he knows you can protect yourself, but he enjoys the privilege of pulling you close and calling you his, whilst telling those losers to back off. 

that doesn’t mean your boyfriend doesn’t get jealous; of course, he does! but petty jealousy shouldn’t dictate your happiness! he’s just not insecure like that. 

ALAN MIDO — "You are safest beyond my reach and yet my heart betrays me, aching to pull you closer in my arms."

Occasionally, he wonders if wanting you is a crime he has yet to be punished for. A captain, they call him. A weapon. A murderer even. Names that sit heavily on his shoulders, forged by countless rumors and others that are perhaps best to remain unheard. To others, he is an ex convict and a suspect. Yet to you, he hopes to be nothing at all. He tells himself that this is enough. That protecting you is the closest thing to love he deserves.

LEO KUROSAGI — "Relax, Honor Roll. I’m just playing, though perhaps I’d stop if you admit you like me."

Yearning… it’s a nuisance, really. Something people dramatize when they have nothing better to do. He scoffs at the idea, yet at the sight of you, perhaps he secretly believes in those ridiculous rumors. And in his own twisted way, to get back at the world that made him feel this way, he takes it out on… you. Always keeping you in the background of his posts, never denying that you’re his. He tags your socials while your friends bombard you with questions when they spot you in the background of his TikToks. He’ll even drop a few teasing comments, reminding you that a nobody like you should feel lucky to be his “fake girlfriend.” And while you’re too busy getting mad, he’s already studying your reactions, seeing if you truly feel the same way he does.

SHOHEI HAIZONO — "Can’t you tell I care? Even in my own stupid little way."

Seriously… Do you know the things you do to him? Do you notice how easily his heart beats a little faster when you laugh a little too close to him or the way he always lets you be the first one to try his new dishes even letting you cut the line to his food truck sometimes. He teases you, of course. Calls you names that aren’t quite insults, teases you when you’re too serious or just throws playful jabs to hide how often he thinks of you when no one else is watching. Perhaps the only way he knows how to show you how he feels is through his cooking… so maybe, visit him a little more often... Okay?

Kaito: "I... I mean, it's nice knowing you."

You: "Are... are you breaking up with me?"

Kaito: "NO."

Somehow it'd sound more like a breakup than a proposal. He might even sleep talk and accidentally tell you the night before. He'd spend the whole date staring at you awkwardly while practically going nonverbal, and you'd just kind of piece everything together.

𝐄𝐝𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐝

Ed's proposal might start with "I have a confession" which immediately makes you think it's something terrible, so you prob answer with "I don't want to hear it" or something along those lines.

You: "You killed someone?"

Ed: "...No?" (really?)

You: "You're terminally ill?"

Ed: "...No." (yes, he is ill, just not in human sense)

You: "You committed tax fraud?"

Ed: "..." (he doesn't pay anything, bro has no job)

𝐑𝐢𝐭𝐬𝐮

Ritsu's proposal would be at some fancy restaurant, but it'd all be according to your preferences. Then he'd pull out a stack of papers.

"Are you ready to be promoted?" Alongside the ring.

Ritsu: "This stack is for when you decline. This stack is for when you accept."

You: "...What's the third stack?"

Ritsu: "Appeal process."

You: "..."

𝐉𝐢𝐫𝐨

Jiro's very blunt, so I can imagine it'd be the first time in his life he remembers what being nervous feels like.

Jiro: "Please take this before I drop it."

He hands you the ring and once you say yes, he immediately has an asthma attack. He's just TOO happy you accepted it.

You: "Should I call Yuri???!!!"

Jiro: thumbs up

𝐇𝐚𝐫𝐮

Haru wears dress shoes on a hike... then suddenly tells you to hold his hand and Peekaboo's hand as if it's some type of praying ritual. 

Haru: "Hold my hand."

Haru: "Now hold Peekaboo's hand too."

You: "...Are we summoning something?"

Haru: "Hopefully Peekaboo's mama."

Haru: "It's time." pulling out the ring

𝐘𝐮𝐫𝐢

Yuri gets nervous as hell and asks for your full name again because he wants to make sure he got your middle name right. Even geniuses get forgetful when they're nervous. Also, I feel like he'd buy you a bouquet, so if you accidentally saw it beforehand and asked him about it, he'd immediately yell,

"I FOUND IT ON THE STREET. THOUGHT IT LOOKED COOL." (It was supposed to be for the proposal)

You: "Wrapped? With a receipt?"

Yuri: "... It was a very organized street."

𝐋𝐲𝐜𝐚

Lyca gets down on one knee and immediately says. "I forgot the whole speech."

He had Rui and Subaru help him write it, but you know Lyca. He'd end up blurting out whatever came to mind and just be very honest instead.

𝐓𝐚𝐢𝐠𝐚

You go on the exact same date with Taiga two weeks in a row because he forgot the ring the first time. Spare my man. He's just a little forgetful.

Also, I feel like Taiga's the type to wonder why you two haven't started planning the wedding yet. The man forgot he hasn't proposed.

𝐑𝐞𝐧

You tell Ren you don't have to go on the date because his stomach's bothering him. He's so nervous he's practically digesting himself.

But he'd immediately go. "NO, WE HAVE TO GO!"

He also seems like the type who'd get nauseous, throw up, then tell you. "The breakfast wasn't sitting right, that's all." (You two haven't even had breakfast yet)

𝐑𝐮𝐢

Rui: "How did you know I was gonna propose to you?"

You: "You asked if I wanted to visit the park with you in October." (It was July.)

Rui: "Oh."

𝐋𝐞𝐨

Leo: "Well, we get along pretty well, don't we?" Said with the most sarcastic tone imaginable (this little sht)

Then he'd hit you with. "I don't wanna be your boyfriend anymore."

You'd probably just walk ahead like. "Alright, man. Hope you find happiness."

Only for everyone around you to start screaming. "TURN AROUND!"

He was already down on one knee.

"God, you're such an idiot. Can't imagine spending my life with you."

Might be what he says after you're way too smug that he's the one proposing first.

𝐒𝐮𝐛𝐚𝐫𝐮

Subaru walks you through the most ethereal garden you've ever seen for your date, but he's so nervous he accidentally blurts out "My wife" on the way there. The man never mentally recovered from that moment 😔

𝐋𝐮𝐜𝐚𝐬

If Lucas could, he'd take you to the UK, especially to visit all those old castle buildings in Ireland. Imagine you're busy recording the scenery while he's standing stiffly in the corner, facing the wall like he's possessed by demon in one of those abandoned haunted building exploration movies. He was just trying to get the ring out of his pocket.

𝐌𝐢𝐨

Mio's supposed to say. "Can I ask you a question?"

But instead blurts out. "Can I give you a quest?"

You: "EXP reward?"

Mio: "... Shared taxes."

A very responsible, duty-filled quest indeed. A lifelong quest.

He was nervous, okay?

𝐑𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐨

Romeo takes you out on a date but can't keep his hands to himself. I can totally picture him holding your hand and absentmindedly rubbing your ring finger. Then "I Think I Wanna Marry You" randomly starts playing somewhere and the man absolutely panics wanting to stop the music.

Romeo: "WHO PUT THIS SONG ON?"

𝐓𝐨𝐰𝐚

You somehow make yourself late for the proposal because you and Towa went to the zoo. You refused to leave before petting both the mini pig and the deer because they were in the same area. Towa approved the idea also.

The proposal was still successful that day though. The wingmen, Kaito, Haru and Ren, were way more nervous and worry than Towa himself.

𝐒𝐡𝐢𝐨𝐧

Shion doesn't say a single word the entire day. Then he gets down on both knees because he forgot it was only supposed to be one (Jo and Mio literally told him).

Shion: "Give me your marriage finger."

You: "..."

Shion: "The left one."

You: "..."

Sorry let me be serious. He's actually incredibly nervous. If you say yes, he'd close the ring box and hand it to you with the ring still inside.

𝐇𝐚𝐤𝐮

Haku takes you on a date and casually asks. "Are you having a good time?"

If you say yes, he'd pull out the ring and ask. "Do you want to keep having a good time?"

You: "...Is this a subscription service?"

Haku: "Lifetime plan."

It might sound cocky, but trust me, the man was nervous the entire date. He tried to stay casual because he didn't want to freak you out.

𝐉𝐢𝐧

Jin somehow becomes even quieter than usual, to the point where you start wondering if he's lost interest or something.

Nope. He's just nervous like everyone else.

Also, if he took you somewhere with animals, or proposed during a holiday like Christmas, knowing Jin enjoyers tend to get distracted...

Jin: "Will you stop watching those penguins?

You: "Look at that tiny one."

Jin: "I'm trying to ask you to marry me here."

You: "But he's carrying a pebble."

Jin: "..."

𝐓𝐨𝐡𝐦𝐚

Tohma... I don't know, I just want to torture this man a little.

Imagine he takes you somewhere nice, then you see another couple getting engaged and casually say. "Who would propose here?"

Sitting there with that usual calm smile. But inside he's sweating his ass off. Trust me.

The man immediately scraps every single plan, rearranges the entire schedule, and proposes somewhere completely different the next day.

𝐙𝐞𝐧𝐣𝐢

Zenji would probably get down on one knee and start sobbing after reading you a proposal poem. Then you'd start sobbing too, and he'd quietly slip the ring onto your finger. There wouldn't be much conversation... Soulmates don't need that anyway. 

𝐀𝐥𝐚𝐧

Alan feels like the type to take you on a three day camping or hiking trip. He barely eats during the first couple of days because he's nervous as hell. Then after you say yes, he immediately demolishes all the leftover food.

His smartwatch (you gave him that for his birthday) also keeps warning him that his heart rate's too high and he needs to calm the fck down. He'd just takes it off.

𝐄𝐥𝐢𝐚𝐬

"I wouldn't know how to make spaghetti without you ^^" 

Then he immediately gets down on one knee, taking the ring out. Elias, you're not slick. Man cooks all the meal you two have also.

𝐒𝐡𝐨

Sho would be very straightforward but still thoughtful. I think he'd still get nervous though. He wouldn't be able to decide which knee to kneel on, so he'd keep switching between them like he's doing lunges.

You: "…Are you proposing or stretching?"

His legs are so long too... You can already imagine how that scene would play out XD

𝐉𝐨

"May I wife you, Cutie?" - Jo.

Sorry, let me be serious.

I think he'd be nervous as hell too, just not as badly as everyone else because Jo actually knows what he's's doing.

Knowing you'd want your nails done beforehand, she'd offer to do them before the date. Except she was so nervous she only painted your left hand 🙏

Did I miss anyone?

The circus buzzed in joy as Shion grabs a torch, putting it on his mouth before breathing a fire, he keeps his eyes glued to your seat and seeing your face contorted in admiration, he can't help but feel the adrenaline rush in his veins — he feels thrilled.

“eek! he's staring over here again…” a general student shivered beside you. you glanced back at the stage only to find a pair of golden eyes looking at yours.

tilting your head, you gave him a small wave. In response, Shion continues his performance until the show is over.

little did you know, that small wave would change your life.

A soft sigh escaped from the young salmon-haired man, “there he goes again…” he said, looking at Shion, who strides his way towards you.

“Do you want me to stop him? I can go.” Jo suggested,

“Stop him? but it looks like Shion is on his discovery of love” Elias said, leaning on the tree, “this is the first time he took interest with someone aside from the sinostra’s captain” he added, Mio merely clicked his tongue, grumbling how Shion doesn't share the same interest in Taiga unlike yours.

Humming to yourself, you flipped the next page of the biology book, writing whatever words you can highlight in your notebook while your friend does the same.

“Hey [Name], can you— AHH!”

flinching, you snapped your head towards your friend — only to be met by a flame.

you didn't dare to move. the fire from the match almost touches your nose, if you move, your face would be done for.

Shion keep a keen eye on your reaction, with the flick of his hand, the match turns into a beautiful rose — deep red and very thorny on the sides.

“For you, my fair lady.” he hands you the rose, which you took from his offer, trying your best to avoid the thorns. You blinked, before giving a warm smile, “Thank you, that was one of the amazing trick I've seen.” you said, glancing at his bleeding hand, “are you…”

“Freetime is up, Shion. we need to head back to the circus.” Mio’s voice alerted the male. Shion huffed before turning to follow Mio and the others.

Just as he was about to leave, he turned his head at your direction, sticking out his burnt tongue, taking out a piece of poker card from his mouth before flicking it at your direction.

“Come, take a peek behind the curtain. Dionysia’s next act was rehearsed with you in mind.”

You are now currently hiding behind a stack of tires in the Vagastrom garage, watching Sho through a gap in the rubber. He was at his food truck aggressively flipping a spatula.

Man, where is she? Sho’s thought pierced through your brain, clear as a bell. I spent three hours perfecting this broth because she said the cafeteria’s soup tasted like dishwater. If she’s over there hanging out with that asshole Leo again, I’m gonna lose it.

You winced. You weren't with Leo; you were five feet away, feeling like a creep.

Shohei let out a loud, frustrated sigh, leaning over the counter of the truck. "Hey! Anyone seen my Senpai?" he shouted to a group of passing mooks. "If she’s slacking, tell her I’m taking her free meal credits!"

Lies. I’d never actually charge her, his mind added immediately, accompanied by a mental image of you smiling after a mission that made your heart skip a beat. She looked so tired yesterday. I just want her to sit down for five minutes so I can make sure she actually eats something that isn't a damn energy drink.

You couldn't take it. The sweetness of his concern, layered under that prickly exterior, was too much. You tried to slip away, but your boot caught on a metal scrap.

Clang.

Shohei’s head snapped toward the tires.

Found ya.

"Senpai? What are you doing skulking around like a stray cat?" Shohei walked over, wiping his hands on a grease-stained towel. He had that signature smirk on his face, the one that usually meant he was about to make your life difficult.

"You avoiding me? I didn't think you were the type to get scared of a little wrongdoing."

"I'm not avoiding you, Sho," you lied, stepping out and trying to keep your expression neutral. "I'm just... busy. Inspector stuff."

"Right. Busy hiding behind tires." He stepped into your personal space, his scent enveloping you.

She’s lying, his thoughts rumbled. Her heart’s racing. Is she sick? Did Hyde say something to her? If that bastard brother of mine annoyed her, I’m gonna go snowboard over his favorite lab equipment.

"You're acting weird," Sho said aloud, his eyes narrowing. He reached out, his fingers catching a lock of your hair. "You haven't been to the truck in three days. You cheating on my cooking with the Mystery Diner? Or is it Jin? You like those fancy Frostheim plates better than mine?"

Please say no. I’ll make whatever you want. I’ll even learn how to make that weird dessert you like.

"No one's cooking is better than yours, Sho," you whispered, the truth slipping out because his mental pleading was so earnest.

Shohei froze. A dark, dusty pink creeped up his neck. "Tch. Obviously. Don't say stuff like that so casually, y’know? It’s embarrassing."

God, I love it when she says stuff like that. I want to pull her into the truck and never let her leave. Keep her right there where it’s warm.

You felt your face heating up. "I... I have to go!"

You bolted before he could see you melt, leaving Shohei standing in the garage, his hand still suspended in the air.

What did I do? he wondered, his thoughts suddenly small and wounded. Did I tease her too hard? Dammit, Sho, you’re an idiot.

The distance lasted exactly four more hours. Sho had cornered you in the quiet corridor leading to your cathedral after classes ended. He didn't say a word; he just grabbed your wrist and pulled you into a small, shadowed alcove, pinning you against the cool stone wall.

"Alright, Senpai. Level with me." His voice was low, devoid of its usual playfulness. "What's the deal? You won't look at me, you won't eat my food, and you run every time I breathe in your direction. If you hate me, just say it. I'd rather you hate me to my face than... whatever this is."

It’s killing me, his mind whispered, the thought heavy with a vulnerability you’d never seen. I can’t focus. I almost put salt in the chocolate cake. If she leaves, this whole foodtruck thing doesn't even matter.

Your heart broke. You realized that by trying to respect his privacy, you were causing him more pain than the truth ever could.

"I don't hate you, Sho," you said, reaching up to cup his face. "I could never hate you. I was just... overwhelmed by how much I like you."

Shohei’s breath hitched. "Huh?"

Wait, for real? She likes me? Me?? FOR REAL??

"For real," you murmured, leaning in until your lips were inches from his. "I like the way you worry about me. I like that you perfect recipes just to see me smile. And I love that you'd snowboard over your brother's equipment for me."

Shohei’s eyes went wide. "How did you—?"

He didn't finish the question. He crashed his lips against yours, a desperate kiss that tasted of longing and relief. His hands slid into your hair, pulling you closer until there wasn't a breath of space between you.

As the kiss deepened, his thoughts became calm.

Finally. Her skin is so soft. I’m never letting go. I want to tell her everything. I want her to know she’s the only thing that makes this fresh hell of an academy bearable.

You pulled back just a fraction, your forehead resting against his. "You're the only thing that makes it bearable for me, too," you whispered.

Shohei’s grip tightened, his eyes shimmering with an intensity that made your knees weak. "You’re reading my mind, aren't you?" He let out a shaky, disbelieving laugh. "Of course you are. You’re always one step ahead of me, Senpai."

I don't even care, his thoughts sang as he leaned down to nuzzle your neck. Read everything. See every embarrassing thing I think about you. See how much I’m completely, hopelessly besotted with you.

"I see it," you murmured, tilting your head to give him better access.

Shohei groaned, his lips tracing the line of your jaw. "I’m gonna make you the best dinner of your life tonight," he muttered against your skin, his voice thick with emotion. "And then I’m gonna keep you in my room and make sure you never have a reason to run away again."

I’m gonna marry this girl, he thought with a sudden conviction. I’ll buy her a better ring than that Sage's thing. Something that doesn't curse her. Just something that says she’s mine.

He'll comfort you before eliminating whatever the threat was (that way he'll be to gaslight you that what he did after comforting you was just your hazed mind making things up).

Very composed for someone who was holding a very injured and bleeding person.

Composure does not mean his heart was not beating furiously as he caressed your head.

He'd leave his housemates to deal with the anomaly, it'd most likely get blasted by Shion tho as nobody hurts his 'spouse'.

Elias always wants to drag you away from the man evertime he calls you that, but he has to be polite to his juniors and risking an angry Shion is not worth is emotions.

The interaction at Mortkraken is awkward, Yuri just tells Jiro to bring you to the operating room and soon follows you two.

Elias would patiently wait outside, texting the others that he returned early.

He'd come into the room once Yuri and Jiro finishes, waiting for you to awaken.

"Mghhh..."

"Glad to see you're awake" 

He tries to talk to you, but your anesthesia drunk mind could only comprehend a hot guy sitting next to your bed, so all you did was giggle for the last 3 minutes.

That's fine, he finds your voice very cute :) 

10/10 very chill unless you become so injured you have blood everywhere and pass out, then the boss music starts.

Jo Kongoza 

"Shit, inspector!"

Immediately scoops you up into his arms.

"Where does it hurt?"

Tries to stop the bleeding before anything else.

He knows a thing or two, one because of Shion, and two was because some students get injured when doing a new trick or because of a technical error.

Talks to you the whole way, pls don't stop replying, he'd actually start losing his shit.

Like cold sweat but still locked in type losing shit.

That anomaly got no protection from Shion now, Darkwick can suck it because they can't do anything about it.

The Mortkraken doors were slammed open, Jo stepped in panting and sweaty, not because he was tired, ghouls have a shit ton of stamina.

But rather it was because of the sheer panic, his heart was beating faster than ever.

Yuri nearly jumped out of his chair, had Jiro not held his arm and put him back on the chair.

"She's hurt!"

Ofcourse the Mortkraken ghouls immediately got to work.

Jo restlessly sat in a chair, watching you get patched up by the pair.

He tries to calm himself down, but everytime he looks at you getting stitched up and bandaged, his heart just speeds up more.

"Ah..." He rubs his face into his hands.

As the captain, he should be more composed and put together, but this is wayyy too much for him.

When Yuri and Jiro was done patching you up, Jo would sit next to your bed waiting for you.

You'd wake up with a sleeping whos asleep on the chair, looking disheveled.

"Jo.." You ruffle his hair, to which he leaned into, his eyes opening halfway before closing again.

And he falls into a much more peaceful slumber.

Shion Genkai 

"Did you just hurt my spouse?"

The dynamic with you and Shion is that only he can hurt you and/or make you cry, if anyone or anything else does it? Hohoho they're in for a treat.

Boss music intensifies.

He's the most (openly) hostile in this situation.

Someone else will have to carry you, because Shion would be a little too busy with the anomaly.

"You don't deserve to be happy" By happy he means cry which meant the anomaly was shredded to pieces immediately.

Personally, I think he wouldn't be by your bedside, depends on if you two are dating or not.

If you aren't dating him (yet), then he'd go about his day but will constantly ask about you.

Reason?

"I'd like to give my wife some space until she heals" Which was kinda sweet.

Though the moment you step into Dionysia, he's back to treatig you like normal, maybe with a little more care for your wounds.

"Do you have any stitches?" "Why are you limping?" Yadayadayada he'd ask until you're fully good, just so he can go back to his more...extreme ways of making you happy.

A good husband is one that makes his wife happy.

Mio Susuhara 

"!?"

Mio was shocked, one second the anomaly was nowhere in sight, everything was clear...or so he thought.

It immediately aimed for you, having sensed you were physically weaker than Mio. "Inspector!" Mio calls out, catching you in his arms as your shirt became soaked with your blood.

"Ack!" You'd spit blood out of your mouth, the pain blinding and insistent. "We need to get out of here" Mio mutters under his breath, scooping you up into his arms.

The ghoul started running towards the exit, using his body to shield you from the anomaly.

"Shit shit shit!" You haven't heard Mio swore like that...so serious and kinda frustrated...it was kinda hot, so hot that you couldn't control the grin forming on your face, a dazed, pained grin.

Mio noticed your grin ofcourse, but he didn't address it until you two were in the Galaxy Express. "What're you smiling about?" 

You just chuckled, sending a little shiver down his spine, "You're kinda hot when you're serious like that" Mio thought you were insane for a second "I think you're losing too much blood"

You however, kept talking in a dazed manner, which made Mio very concerned but atleast you were awake?

You didn't even realize when you were put on the Mortkraken bed because you were very very dizzy, like the world was spinning dizzy.

"I'm gonna administer anesthetsia, please stay still" Jiro put the needle in you, which knocked you out good even before the anesthesia got to you.

Mio however was still thinking about your words, like, was the amomaly poisonous orrr?

He'd wait for you to be fully healed by your bedside, texting his clients they'd have a bit of a move in schedule. (Which will make you feel kinda bad...)

When you wake up, Mio would be looking at you "Ah, you're awake" he says with a smile.

"Do you remember anything?" You shook your head, everything was a haze and you could only remember different parts seperately. "Well first you called my concerned face 'hot'"

"Oh I remember that well, that was intentional" You nodded, now Mio really froze.
