I Really Felt That

My Person

Plot: Thinking you are going to be alone on Valentines day. You receive a surprise visit from your best-friend and secret crush.

Prompts: "I saw this and thought of you." + 'Receiving flowers with secret meanings.' and "What are these for?" "Valentines Day." "Why?" + 'First Confession'

Pairing: Shang-Chi x Gn!Reader

Warnings: Kiss at the end.

Words: 1.6k

-

As you bit into another Valentines chocolate, you sighed, staring out the window. You wanted to go out, but the city was crowded, busy with all the couples wandering around town.

You hated that the idea of walking around alone on Valentines Day made you feel bad, it shouldn't, there as nothing wrong with it, you knew that. But you couldn't seem to leave the house anyways.

It had been years since you last celebrated Valentines Day, and you had to admit, you kind of missed it. You liked that there was a holiday were you could be more romantic than normal, be more cheesy than normal, and it didn't come off as weird.

You didn't mind being single, but there were parts of being in a relationship that you missed. The dates, the inside-jokes, the intimacy.

Without meaning it to, you suddenly thought of Shang-Chi. You wondered what he was doing right now.

Did he have a date? No, he would have told you about that. Wouldn't he?

You felt your chest clench. Even if he did, you wouldn't want to hear about it.

MCU Characters During a Blackout

Pairing: Steve Rogers, Bucky Barnes, Sam Willson, Loki, Thor, Natasha Romanoff, Stephen Strange, Peter Parker, Shang-Chi x Reader

Tags: fluff, cuddles, kissing, telling stories, protectiveness, literal sleeping together, warm drinks, power-use, teasing, sharing clothes

A/N: I don't know why Tumblr forced Labels on a few of these even though they had nothing but fluff but hopefully these are ok. What's the matter Tumblr? Too many hot characters for you?

Steve never wants you to be scared of a blackout. It's most likely just a power issue, if it was anything really bad he would have already gotten the call to action to stop it. Since there's nothing better for the two of you to do than wait for the power to come back why not cuddle up for a bit, he can tell you funny stories from his meetings and missions with his friends. He always wants to cuddle with you, to feel warm next to you instead of remembering the cold.

Drabble Request:

Sam, Cantankerous, Icicles

ā€œIā€™m dying,ā€ Sam announced loudly as he slammed the car door behind him. You frowned but couldnā€™t afford more than a quick glance as you hit the gas, taking to the icy streets at the highest speed you could manage.Ā 

ā€œHospital dying or first aid kit dying?ā€ Checking the mirrors told you nothing about any possible pursuit, but you hoped that the heavy snowfall would make you just as hard to follow.Ā 

ā€œIā€™m soaked to the skin; the muscles in my legs are all cramping from hiding out behind that damn warehouse for four hours; Iā€™m so fucking freezing I think thereā€™s an icicle hanging off my nose, and it was all for nothing.ā€Ā 

ā€œNo one showed?ā€ you asked as Sam cranked the heat up in the crappy little car until the vents started whistling.Ā 

ā€œNo.ā€

SAM WILSON | CAPTAIN AMERICA/FALCON (the mcu | tfatws | captain america: the winter soldier)

ā€œArm Dayā€ (Sam Wilson x Reader)

| You donā€™t show up for your running ā€œdateā€ with Sam so he shows up at your place to get a different kind of exercise in.

| Jesus, my summary is very nearly an innuendo. (Pic Source ā€” Captain America: Civil War [peachy-ash icon], Captain America: The Winter Soldier [iconpsds icon], The Falcon & The Winter Soldier [marina-na-na icon])

| Inspo: Instagram

| 1k+ words

Itā€™s the sound of your phone buzzing against your nightstand that wakes you up, and with a groan you lift your head to squint at it.

ā€˜Sam Wilsonā€™ flashes across your screen and you in no way can suppress the eye roll that elicits.

He was your gym buddy more often than not, but this was getting ridiculous.

When yā€™all ran laps together heā€™d slow down for you so you could keep one another company. When you were on the treadmill heā€™d be running in the one right beside you and hold out his arm if you stumbled so you wouldnā€™t go flying, emergency stopping the machine for you. You would spot each other, go out to eat afterwards, even make meal plans together. Sam was your number one.

He was also more of a pain in your ass than your actual personal trainers had ever been in the past.

You grope around for the phone, lifting it up to your ear once your clumsy fingers stumble across it.

ā€œYeah?ā€

Your grunt is met with an honest to god laugh. At this early in the morning?

hiiii jade!!!! could i please request something with peter with reader whoā€™s maybe put on some weight recently and is insecure about it?? (totally not self indulgent at all) i totally get it if youā€™re not comfortable writing that stuff though so no pressure

hi lovely! ty for requesting. fem, 1k

cw for negative weight talk/ weight gain

Everybody gains weight during the holidays, you think, tracing your figure in the mirror. Though it's not strictly holiday season yet, it's edging toward the end of the year. Maybe my new year's resolution should be losing a few pounds.Ā 

There's a thunk of the bedroom window being yanked open and footsteps across the floor. You tense until your hear Peter panting for breath, likely having swung to you at high speed, or fresh from a fight with an usurped criminal.Ā 

You rush back into your t-shirt, knowing exactly what path he'll walk. He barrels into the bathroom, sees you at the mirror and smiles so wide his cheeks look fit to burst. "Hey," he says, peeling the suit off and exposing his boxers to you without shame, "hey hey hey. Can I persuade you in with me?" He nods toward the shower.Ā 

"Not this time, Pete."Ā 

"Too bad," he laments.Ā 

You look away as he strips out of his underwear. The shower turns on and he takes you by the hips to move you out of his way with a murmured apology, near lost to the drum of the spray. Peter has moments where he doesn't know his own strength, but the majority of the time he treats you like you're something precious.Ā 

"Stay in here!" he demands as he pulls the curtain shut.Ā 

"I'm not going anywhere." You close the toilet and sit on the lid. "Tough day protecting the people?"Ā 

"Apart from tripping into a deceptively large pothole, it was fine. Why won't you come in here with me? I wanna rub your shoulders."Ā 

"You want me to wash your hair."Ā 

"Exactly. So get naked and get in here. Don't make me beg."Ā 

You really don't want to, and you're not going to, but it's not a big problem. Peter doesn't truly mind, he just loves you. "What do you mean, deceptively big? Like, knee height? Higher?"Ā 

"Mid thigh, I'd say. The people of New York are never gonna let me live it down. One guy was recording me and said he was gonna put it on YouTube for the ad money."Ā 

"Anything else?"Ā

The Little Mermaid

Ariel (2023) x Female! Mermaid Reader

You are my World.

This is based off of the 2023 version. Iā€™ll be making more Ariel one shots in the future (more of Halleā€™s, more of Ariel 1989 and genderbend Ariel?šŸ‘€). Not my best work.

I haven't seen the 2023 version but Halle as Ariel has me in a chokehold. I'm not sure how many changes from the animation were made in the live action remake, so forgive any inaccuracies. Also, it's kinda rushed. I'm sorry I had an idea and I have no idea where it went. Not my best work. And it isn't edited.

Readers of any background can read this. Skin colour is not specified. Also I'm sorry for the awful changed lyrics.

"Ariel! Wait up!" I cried out after her, swimming until we were at the same speed. "What's going on?"

After everyones request is it ok to ask for sam willson pls

Fluffy sam request with him and reader chilling at movie night and them cuddling in a shared blanket please

hello honey! I'm so sorry for taking so long, and I hope you enjoy it! also, thank you to @lokiandbuckysdoll for supporting me on kofi!

summary - your partner comes home, and you two best relax by watching a movie together.

the gif I use isn't mine, divider by @newlips

ā€œYay! Movie night!ā€ Sam shimmies, holding a handful of snacks, and heads over to you. You smile as you watch him place the snacks on the coffee table and open your arms for him to crawl into them. Sam lifts the blankets, getting under them and snuggling into you. He sighs as your arms wrap around him, and you press play on the horror movie. ā€œIā€™ve missed you so much, baby. This is the best way to unwind. You, me, some snacks and a movie, perfection.ā€ He kisses his fingers, grinning as you giggle at his words before he reaches over and grabs some of the chocolate sitting there, handing you a few blocks while eating some for himself.

You rest your head against his shoulder, squeezing your arms around him tightly as youā€™ve missed having him close to you. ā€œIā€™ve missed you too, Sam. You tend to light everything up with your presence.ā€ You turn your head, kissing his cheek softly, loving how warm he is. You tend to run cold, but you become so much more warmer when he's around. ā€œI love you so much.ā€Ā 

The two of you watch the movie, laughing and commenting on the scenes and how stupid the people can be. You continue to eat the snacks and cuddle with your partner, enjoying having him in your company after being away from each other for so long. As the credits roll, Sam rolls over and wraps his arms around you, burying his face into your chest and pulling you close to him. ā€œIā€™ve missed this.ā€ He looks up at you with a soft look, his eyes memorising your face. ā€œIā€™ve missed you, everything about you.ā€ Sam lifts his hand, stroking your cheek, and your breath hitches, eyes fluttering shut as his touch brings comfort.

thank you for reading!

Youā€™re a sight for Samā€™s sore eyes.Ā 

He hasnā€™t seen you in over six months. Itā€™s an occupational hazard, he knows, but itā€™s the worst. Being the Falcon made his personal life take a step back in his list of priorities, and becoming Captain America meant setting the list on fire and declaring Sam Wilsonā€™s downtime practically nonexistent. As far as heā€™s aware, Sarah and the boys are the only exceptions to the rule.

Itā€™s not all on him. Youā€™re an Avenger, too, even if youā€™re semi-retired. Semi, because the new kids still look for guidance as much as they can and you still keep a room at the Avengers compound because of it, even if scarcely decorated.Ā 

You make your entrance by scaring the shit out of him because of course, you have to.Ā

Perfect to Me

Groomsman!Sam Wilson x Bridesmaid!Fem!Reader

Summary: When you feel insecure about your stomach showing in your bridesmaids dress, Sam reveals just how beautiful he thinks you are.

Warnings: readers stomach is not flat and can be seen in a tighter fitting dress, very insecure reader, soft fluff, Sammy being a sweetheart

Word count: 1.5k

A/N: to all the girlies who donā€™t have a flat stomach, this oneā€™s for you ā™„ļø this is my entry for @late-to-the-party-81ā€™s Challenge Yourself Challenge - this is my first time writing for Sam! Banners by @vase-of-lilies. Photo credit to @anthonymackiesource

The thought of everyone turning their eyes on you as you walk down the aisle made your stomach churn. Perhaps you could strategically hold your bouquet of lilies so that they obstructed most of the view of your bulging tummy.

You hate that such a special day for your friend is being clouded by intrusive, self loathing thoughts - you wish you could simply focus on this being the happiest day of her life, but your thoughts always come back to how there will be a camera documenting every second of the day, and how youā€™ll look back at the recording or pictures and be reminded about how much you despised the way you both looked and felt in this dress.

You knew you couldnā€™t just pull out of your bridesmaid duties at the very last second, but you were currently paralysed by the thought of having to stand in front of all the guests when you felt this insecure about yourself.

ā€œSugar, theyā€™re about to start.ā€ Samā€™s voice calls from near the door, pulling you back into reality. What you had been too distracted to realise was he had been watching you scrutinise your appearance in the full length mirror of the dressing room for half a minute before making his presence known.

hello :)) okay so ariel x fem!reader when she first arrives at the castle and the reader helps her get dressed she notices how she looks when she looks at the prince and asks her if she likes the prince when Ariel nods the reader tells her she'll help her because she's friends with eric. The reader goes along helping trying to push ariel and eric together but while spending time with Ariel the reader slowly starts seeing her in a new light noticing all the pretty small details she looked over before just then the reader realized she was in love with Ariel.

I'm going to leave the ending up to you :))

Choose Me: Ariel

You were currently helping the new girl who had washed up on shore a few hours ago, getting dressed so she would love presentable when she meets the prince in just a few minutes. You stood off to the side noticing the love-sick emotion in her eyes as she tried to talk to the prince without being able to talk, and how disappointed she looked when he left.Ā

warnings: regency courting etiquette, gender roles/sexism, use of ā€˜ladyā€™ and ā€˜she/herā€™ and ā€˜womanā€™, flirting, benny being absolutely in love with you, improper smooching, few innuendos, a smidge of heavy petting.

ā€œMama is going to have more than a word with you when she finds out about this, Antoine.ā€Ā 

ā€œWouldnā€™t you rather participate in an activity youā€™re actually good at, than justā€¦ Promenading around the yard?ā€ He scoffed, using an overdone posh accent.Ā 

The mama you shared was very particular when it came to the season of your debut. You happened to be the first daughter of the Sinclair Household, out of two, to debut into society. Which meant, all eyes were on you ā€“ technically. Coming from a well-renowned family, many people held many expectations for you. And, the Ton couldnā€™t wait to deliberate about someone who slightly strayed from tradition and normalcy. That could easily dampen the reputation your family built through years of networking.

It should also be mentioned that your father is the ultimate source for how the Ton perceives you ā€“ heā€™s a Marquess, anointed by the Queen. So, maybe it wasnā€™t only high society you had to look out for.Ā 

It was the lovely lady who governed, her grace.Ā

Second Son

Pairing: Benedict Bridgerton x fem!reader

Summary: The second son is, for once, the first choice...

Warnings: none really... mild angst, family dynamics, love at first sight.

Word Count: 2.9k

Authors Note: Request fill for anon here, about Benedict being the second choice for everything.... until his love turns up. Thanks for this request; I hope this is angsty enough for you anon. Im not sure about it tbh. Sorry that it's taken more than three months to get to it on my WIP list. Unbetaed. Enjoy <3

Benedict Bridgerton was born into privilege and can have few complaints. Except perhaps that he is always second. The spare. The just-in-case option. Being a familial insurance policy lends one more freedom than the burden of being the titled first son, perhaps, but it also feels like your whole existence, in some respects, can seem like a contingency plan.

can i request octopath hcs for the main boys with a reader thatā€™s a thief

Coming right up!

warnings: none!

-Cyrus Albright-

  • While Cyrus is usually a law-abiding citizen, I think he could tolerate skirting the law occasionally, especially if itā€™s for someone as charming as yourself
  • He frets about you quite often though, and whenever you return from a risky job, heā€™s fussing over you until youā€™ve reassured him youā€™re fine a dozen times
  • You often steal his books just to mess with himĀ 
  • Heā€™ll be looking everywhere, certain he had only turned his back for two seconds before it went missing. And then he just sees you reading the book up in a tree and grinning down at him, and he realizes he fell for one of your traps again
  • Usually, you wonā€™t give the book back to him until he gives you a kiss, which, after a teasing sigh, he more than happily supplies
  • I feel like if Cyrus really disliked a person or believed that your reasons for stealing were justified he mayā€¦ accidentally give you some advice on breaking in/stealing
  • Like heā€™d say itā€™d be an absolute shame if he accidently showed you a book that had secret blueprints of the entire city in it, that mightĀ  Ā happenĀ show you a secret entrance to the house youā€™re breaking intoĀ 
  • He doesnā€™t directly help with stealing all too often because heā€™s oblivious oftentimes and a horrible liarĀ 
  • He was really helpful one time when he distracted a guard by rambling on about something
  • His praise for your perfect strategies and practiced agility is endless
  • He definitely has a very heavy bias towards you when talking about stealing, like heā€™ll scold Therion but praise you for practically stealing the same thing
  • Steal him books!! Heā€™ll be so happy!! And probably pick you up and twirl you around because books!!! yay!!!

-Therion-

  • Hey, same! :)Ā 
  • Obviously, he wouldnā€™t have any problems with your little habit of stealing things
  • You just end up covering each otherā€™s backs, stealing sweets for the group, pocketing some jewelry, or getting important items the group needs for their various quests
  • Sometimes you make it a competition of who can steal a certain object faster
  • Therion will teasingly nab things from you and refuse to return them until you do something like give him a kiss or promise him the last bite of his favorite pastryĀ 
  • You, of course, do the same, often requesting an ā€œI love youā€ or cuddles from Therion
  • You often steal one another little presents :)Ā 
  • You two are the deadliest duo around when it comes to stealing things. The moment you decide you want something, you two practically already own it
  • Even with things unconnected with thievery, youā€™re still a power couple. After so many stressful situations together when stealing, youā€™re able to read one anotherā€™s mind and form a plan without even saying a word
  • It doesnā€™t help that youā€™re both naturally silent walkers, so it often feels like one moment neither of you are there and the next youā€™re both right over their shoulder
  • Youā€™ve both lost track of the amount of times youā€™ve spooked poor Tressa and Ophilia, but because you secretly find it amusing, neither of you plan on stopping any time soonĀ 

-Alfyn Greengrass-

  • Heā€™d probably be alright with you being a thief, especially if youā€™re a ā€œsteal from the rich and give to the poorā€ type of personĀ 
  • The one rule is that youā€™re not allowed to steal from Alfynā€™s patients, which is quite understandable reallyĀ 
  • Alfyn is just as mischievous as you are, so heā€™d be more than willing to help you when youā€™re pulling sneaky pranks on the others or planning to steal from the shop of an especially rude and arrogant merchantĀ 
  • You two are far too good at pulling straight faces and looking completely innocent, right up until the moment you put your plan into actionĀ 
  • In fact, if any of the travelers see you and Alfyn not grinning and laughing for an extended period of time, they begin worrying that youā€™re putting a plan into actionĀ 
  • He always insists on patching up all and any injuries you get from stealing. Even the tiniest of scrapes wonā€™t escape his notice
  • His healer instincts go into overdrive anytime he sees you about to do something reckless because he hates seeing people in pain, and itā€™s 10x worse when itā€™s a loved one
  • So he tries to keep you safe however he can, either accompanying you or supplying you with far more healing potions than youā€™d ever need
  • He often sees a mischievous sparkle light up your eye when you spot an opportunity to nab something, but if itā€™s far too risky, he will literally pick you up and dash away from the trouble with you complaining over his shoulder
  • And heā€™s so friendly and good with people that heā€™s gotten you out of a few sticky situations, even if it cost you getting a gentle from Alfyn

-Olberic Eisenberg-

  • Olberic, always an upholder of law and justice, swore he wouldnā€™t fall in love with you
  • But sadly for him, he quickly realized your skill for stealing jewelry, coin purses, and sweets extended to stealing hearts as well
  • Luckily, he gets over the thief thing quite quickly because he knows you arenā€™t malicious with your abilitiesĀ 
  • He still often scolds you for stealing riskier items because he doesnā€™t want you to be caught
  • Of course, if you do manage to get yourself in a pickle, Olberic can come up with something on the spot to get you out of trouble. Usually, simply mentioning that youā€™re his s/o does the trick, because no one would ever believe the charming s/o of such an upright man like Olberic would be a thief
  • After a situation like that though, Iā€™d be expecting a good scolding from him about making him worry himself to death because you seem determined to steal yourself to deathĀ 
  • You two are definitely an opposites-attract sort of thing because while youā€™re chaotic, upbeat, and fun, Olberic is far more levelheaded and down to earth
  • You help Olberic relax and have fun (even if it does require ignoring a few minor laws) and he helps you calm down and have a bit more rational
  • Heā€™s in awe of how easily you can glide into a room unnoticed and how agile you are. Frankly heā€™s a little jealous he canā€™t carry himself in the same gliding fashionĀ

So I'm not sure if you're doing octopath for requests, but if you happen to be, would you consider doing some x reader for the main boys when the reader is sick? How they take care of reader and such. Thank you for you're time and sorry if you're not taking requests for this game.

Thank you for the request! This actually made me realize that I never officially added that I would be doing octopath traveler in my rules, but Iā€™ve now added it in there!

Also, just a heads up, Iā€™ve only completed the chapter twoā€™s for all of them. There may be some details that are a bit off.

Warnings: some swearing, being sick, nothing too detailed though, very brief mentions of death

Alfyn:

  • Well, I would say youā€™re in pretty good hands here
  • While he may be very joking and light hearted, heā€™s actually very attentive towards your health, both physical and emotional
  • The first sign of a little sniffle or cough and heā€™ll be mixing together something for you. He always has a variety of herbs on him, so 9/10 heā€™ll be able to whip something up to have you feeling better in no time
  • Even if you try to insist that youā€™re fine and donā€™t need him fussing over you, Alfyn is extremely persistent, proudly stating that it his job to take care of you and he plans on doing just that
  • Heā€™ll be very insistent about you getting your rest. If the group happens to be traveling while youā€™re sick, heā€™ll make sure you still get plenty of breaks (he may even carry you if your cold is bad enough)
  • When youā€™re in a colder area heā€™ll make you wear an extra few layers of clothes even if you complain about not being able to move as well
  • And there is no way that Alfyn will be allowing you to fight while sick, even if itā€™s just a minor cold. If you ever try to get up and join a battle he will swiftly shoo you back into a guarded area to keep you out of the fray
  • In general, he becomes even more caring and considerate than usual, doting on you while also being assertive enough to make sure you actually get better
  • If you happen to be in a more stubborn mood, saying that you can take care of yourself just fine, he always has his ways of making you rest and take your medicine
  • Said ways usually involve putting something sweet with your medicine or just giving you puppy dog eyes, probably saying something like:
  • ā€œPretty please, take your medicine, sunshine. Itā€™ll make you feel lots better, promise.ā€
  • ā€œYes buttercup, I know it doesnā€™t taste good. Just take it for me, okay?ā€
  • ā€œGo to sleep, bunny. Iā€™ll still be here when you wake up.ā€
  • yeah, he uses even more pet names than usual when youā€™re sick
  • It takes a lot of his self restraint to not pepper your face with kisses. He canā€™t stand seeing you miserable, and not being able to be super affectionate towards you is borderline torture
  • Even then, heā€™ll probably sneak in a few kisses to the top of your head because he just canā€™t help himself
  • Alfyn will be fairly laid back about the whole matter, not getting too worked up since heā€™s confident enough in his abilities to make sure you recover. However, if your cold does seem to be getting worse, he will begin to worry
  • Granted, he wonā€™t let you see one bit of that worry and will make sure you see nothing but all the smiles and love he wants to give you
  • He wonā€™t sleep or rest as much since heā€™s spending most, if not all, of his energy on trying to make a better medicine for you or at least make you more comfortable. While you may not be able to notice since youā€™re sick, the others in the group are definitely picking up on how far heā€™s pushing himself to take care of you
  • When heā€™s not fussing over you heā€™s sleepy and distracted, refusing to sleep any more than a few hours because he want to be taking care of you. Even then, that sleep is fitful and full of nightmares he would rather not think about
  • Once youā€™re happy and healthy again though, heā€™ll deny anything about how worried he was and how far he was pushing himself. If you try to bring it up heā€™ll just laugh a little, kiss the top of your head, and say he loves you

Cyrus:

  • Oh no
  • Oh shit
  • Help him
  • He has no clue what heā€™s doing
  • Blankets? More blankets?? That will help right???? And more pillows??? Just throw everything soft into a pile, have you lay in it, and that will be good, right????
  • Soup and a warm fire would be helpful too, wouldnā€™t it??
  • Heā€™s worried, to say the least. Cyrus may be smart and have a decent understanding about various diseases, but heā€™s not exactly the best when it comes to actually treating said colds
  • His idea of helping you with a cold is to just blindly spoil you with attention and gifts because that will make you feel better, right?
  • Heā€™ll be a tad bit over the top when it comes to taking care of you, like spending way too much money on you than is really needed and making the most grand gestures that are extra for even him (but it always makes you smile and blush, so he figures itā€™s well worth it)
  • Iā€™m not exaggerating here yā€™all. Youā€™ll be curled up in a pile of blankets which probably includes Cyrusā€™s cloak because he insisted upon giving it to youĀ and heā€™ll just come in with a bowl of soup, sweeping into a low bow to hand you it, probably calling you something likeĀ ā€œmy darlingā€ orĀ ā€œmy loveā€
  • If the group happens to past through a town heā€™ll probably end up picking you up a gift or two
  • Whether the group is traveling or not, heā€™ll find a reason to be right by your side. Of course, since Cyrus isnā€™t one to sit still and unoccupied for long periods of time, heā€™ll busy himself with repeatedly asking if you need anything done, repositioning your pillows and blankets, taking your temperature, or doing some other task that will keep his mind occupied
  • Even if you assure him that youā€™re fine, heā€™ll still be fussing over you
  • But, heā€™ll try to tone it down a little bit for you. Heā€™ll use a way softer voice Cyrus talking softly is a weakness of mine and will do his best to be a bit more subdued
  • To say the least, heā€™s overprotective. Heā€™s very insistent about doing just about everything for you just so you can rest. Yes, itā€™s sweet that heā€™s trying his best to be so considerate, but it can be a little overbearing at times
  • And you can bet heā€™s going to be strict about you taking your medicine and getting plenty of down time
  • If you arenā€™t getting better or your cold is just getting worse heā€™ll become more anxious and fidgety, refusing to leave your side. Even when Alfyn or Ophilia are taking care of you, heā€™s fluttering just over their shoulders to watch what theyā€™re doing
  • Heā€™s not exactly fond of not knowing whatā€™s going on, especially when itā€™s concerning your health
  • So heā€™s definitely going to be at least a little nosy so that he knows whatā€™s going on. Heā€™ll be anxiously asking questions, with the most common one beingĀ ā€œWill they be alright?ā€ No matter how many times Alfyn or Ophilia answer it, he canā€™t help but ask just one more time to be absolutely certain
  • Sidenote: Cyrus usually ends up getting sick after you do because he completely forgets that you could very well be contagious and decides to smother you with affection like he always does anyway, no matter how many times you, Alfyn, or Ophilia warn him

Olberic:

  • Olberic is pretty good with basic colds and such
  • Heā€™s seen his fair share of colds and will know how to alleviate most symptoms. Of course, since he wants you to be as comfortable as possible, heā€™ll still end up going to Alfyn Or Ophilia for more professional advice
  • Olberic isnā€™t going to be nearly as overbearing as Cyrus or Alfyn and will be willing to give you space. He understands that youā€™re still fairly capable so you wonā€™t have to worry about him treating you like a small child when youā€™re sick
  • That said, heā€™ll still make sure that youā€™re taking care of yourself and giving yourself time to heal
  • He doesnā€™t quite know how to show that heā€™s at least a little worried and that he wants to help you get better, but heā€™s trying his best
  • So even if you canā€™t really tell, heā€™s doing everything he can to make you more comfortable
  • This will include giving you his blanket and/or cloak, carrying you (he doesnā€™t even break a sweat tbh), giving you extra food to keep your appetite up, etc
  • He has a very calming effect on you. Being sick while the group is traveling is a little stressful for everyone (making sure you donā€™t get anyone else sick, making sure you rest enough, getting you medicine, all that fun stuff) but Olbericā€™s sturdy form standing next to you keeps you grounded and thinking straight
  • His voice is soothing and being wrapped up in his arms makes you forget just how miserable you feel for a little while
  • Even if you begin to worry if youā€™re causing problems for the group or just annoying everyone, Olberic will gently remind you that everyone gets sick and you shouldnā€™t beat yourself up over it
  • Like I said, heā€™s just very calm and soothing
  • If your cold begins to turn more serious, you might be able to see a flicker of worry in his eyes though. Olberic has probably seen a fair amount of soldiers succumb to sickness out on the battlefield, and now heā€™s beginning to imagine you seeing the same fate
  • Considering how many times heā€™s seen it happen himself, the picture is all to vivid
  • Itā€™s not a pleasant idea, downright terrifies him
  • Heā€™ll give Alfyn the space he needs to help you since he doesnā€™t want to interfere one bit
  • If your cold really is getting bad, Olberic will become deathly quiet, hardly talking because his mind is just filled with so many ideas of what he couldā€™ve done to prevent this or what he could be doing to help but canā€™t because he isnā€™t a healer
  • Olberic is downright frustrated because there really isnā€™t anything he can do. Heā€™s always used to being able to fight back, always able to try a little harder. But right now, heā€™s helpless and he hates the feeling of it
  • That being said, heā€™ll still be there for you, offering what he can to help you get better

Therion:

  • Therion is very chill about this and definitely wonā€™t make a fuss over it
  • Heā€™ll probably say something like, ā€œThis is what you get for not wearing a cloak up in the mountains like I told you to.ā€
  • While heā€™s still going to be his usual snarky and sarcastic self, he will be a bit more gentle with you
  • He wonā€™t tease you as much as he usually does and will really do his best to control his usually rough around the edges nature. Youā€™ve always been there to take care of him, so taking care of you is the least he can do (and plus he hates seeing you so miserable)
  • He wonā€™t go all soft and lovey dovey, but heā€™ll still find a way of showing he cares
  • For example, if you were trying to carry something especially heavy while sick he would snatch it of your hands and say something like, ā€œAre you trying to get yourself killed? You need to be resting.ā€
  • Or if your cloak isnā€™t that thick he would be like, ā€œHere, take my cloak.ā€ ā€œYes, Iā€™m sure I donā€™t need it.ā€ ā€œDamn it, just take the cloak before you freeze to death.ā€
  • But heā€™s most caring when youā€™re asleep or not looking
  • Heā€™s why you wake up to warm food every morning, get the thickest blankets and cloaks, thereā€™s a bit of honey to soothe your throat, etc
  • he may or may not have stolen some of it but ssshh thatā€™s a minor detail
  • Honestly though, the way he looks at your sleeping face and brushes back a strand piece of hair so tenderly would melt your heart if you were actually awake to see it
  • If you thank him heā€™ll just shrug and mumble something about how someone has to take care of you
  • Therion is surprisingly strict about you getting the proper amount of rest and not pushing yourself too far. Even if you try to make excuses as to why you can stay up late with him or act like youā€™re not sick, he wonā€™t take any of that nonsense. Youā€™re taking it easy whether you like it or not
  • If anyone tries to point out how soft and caring heā€™s really being on you, heā€™ll give them a look that could kill (the only person who can get away with pointing out how soft he is would be you, since he just canā€™t muster up the will to glare at you when youā€™re sick)
  • Of course, if your health is really starting to decline heā€™ll become even more gentle with you. Heā€™ll speak a bit more softly, hold you just a little too tight, sit a little closer than he really needs to, you get the idea
  • Heā€™s more stressed than he would like to admit, but is trying not to show it. Heā€™ll become snappier than usual to everyone else in the group except you, who heā€™ll shower with nothing but soft words. Heā€™ll still be fairly relaxed with you, probably making a few snarky comments to get a laugh out of you
  • Honestly, heā€™s just conflicted
  • The rational part of him knows that since youā€™re strong and Alfynā€™s an amazing apothecary the chances of you not making it through are extremely small
  • But on the same hand, he just loves you so much that just the idea he might lose you is enough to scare the shit out of him
  • Everyone else is relieved when you get better because they werenā€™t sure how much longer they could handle an extra moody Therion

Hi! If you wouldn't mind, could you do something about Alfyn and Therion finding out the reader can not swim and then teaching them how to swim? (sorry if my english is bad! I'm still learning!)

Hey, no need to apologize! Your English is totally fine and perfectly understandable :)

Warnings: none!

-Alfyn Greengrass-

  • Genuinely surprised
  • He grew up around water, so it never really occurred to him that some people might just not know how to swim
  • But that doesnā€™t mean heā€™ll be judgmental or anything. Heā€™d be more than happy to teach you how to swim!
  • Even if youā€™re wary at first, Alfyn is enthusiastic enough for the both of you and will help you through any reservations you may have
  • So the next time the group stops in a warm enough town, heā€™ll find a river or pond that he deems safe enough to teach you in
  • He wonā€™t rush you into the water or anything. He likes swimming, so heā€™s content to just hang out in the water while you come in at your own pace
  • Heā€™ll probably be keeping his eyes to the water while youā€™re getting in, since youā€™re both in some sort of swimsuit andā€¦ wellā€¦ he doesnā€™t want his imagination getting carried away when heā€™s supposed to be focused on teaching you
  • The end result is him having a light dusting of blush the entire time, thank the gods youā€™re too busy to notice
  • And the reason youā€™re too busy too notice is becauseĀ youā€™re equally flustered by Alfyn with wet hair and no shirt
  • He jokes around a lot while teaching you so that you can relax and have some fun
  • Definitely sneaks in a bunch of kisses because how can he not pepper your face in kisses when youā€™re being so flustered yet determined?
  • Heā€™ll let you hold onto him as much as you want so that you always feel safe he finds it kinda cute the way you cling to him, not gonna lie
  • Chances are, Alfyn is taller than you, so he can stand in places that are just too deep for you. If thatā€™s the case, heā€™ll let you hold onto his arm and sort of guide you around while you learn how to kick your legs
  • Even when you begin to swim by yourself heā€™ll be hovering nearby so you and him, heā€™s a protective boy feel at ease. Youā€™d be surprised by how comforting it is to have Alfyn nearby, ready to lend a hand if you start to struggle with staying above the water
  • As you become confident though heā€™ll become more playful, splashing you or attacking you with tickles from behind

-Therion-

  • Heā€™s not too surprised. Living on the streets heā€™s met plenty of people who couldnā€™t swim
  • And because 9/10 that lack of an ability has ended badly, thereā€™s no way heā€™s just going to sit back and not teach you
  • You can try to make up as many excuses as you like, but thereā€™s no escaping it. Youā€™re going to learn how to swim whether you like it or not, heā€™s not taking any chances when it comes to your safety
  • So the next time the opportunity presents itself, the two of you are going to the calmest body of water he can find
  • Letā€™s be honest, heā€™s going to be sarcastic and tease you, especially if youā€™re easily flustered. I mean come on, bathing suits donā€™t exactly cover much so Therion is going to have no problem turning you into a blushing mess
  • ā€œJustā€¦ just give me a second to get in, Therion. Iā€™m going to get in nice and slowā€¦ā€
  • ā€œOf course, take your time. I donā€™t mind getting to enjoy the view for awhile longer.ā€
  • ā€œWhat view?ā€
  • ā€œThe one that canā€™t decide if they want to get into the water or not.ā€
  • Yeah, youā€™ll be putting up with that the entire time heā€™s having more fun with it than he should
  • Also expect him to steal as many teasing kisses as he can. He basically turns it into a game of how many kisses he can steal from you in the time you learn to swim
  • But as teasing as he is, he understands that this might be a little frightening for you and will let you hold onto him for as long as it takes for you to be comfortable
  • When it comes to actually explaining things, his voice is calm and level even if you do the dumbest things. Heā€™ll help you practice the motions and is very gentle about doing it
  • Minus the sarcastic comments and quiet grumbles, heā€™s surprisingly patient as you learn all these unfamiliar movements
  • Heā€™ll make sure to give you space so you can feel like youā€™re making progress, but heā€™s always just near enough to haul you out of the water if needed
  • When youā€™re first starting out, splashing him will probably just mean getting your hair tousled or getting a light splash back. Splashing him once youā€™re more confident means getting full on dunked under the water. Youā€™ve been warned
