category : 米哈游 原神 work title : another woman claims to be his girlfriend?
with a subtle bow of your head, you raise the teacup to your awaiting lips, a veil of porcelain disguising the laughter that threatened to escape. how absurd… you muse, as you savor a sip of your tea.
far across — two tables away, there sits one of the new acts of lyney and lynette’s show. she was interesting, to say the least. she sings tall tales with intricate detail, weaving major falsehoods about the nature of her relationship with him.
her words describe his love confession, demanding they be together because he couldn’t bear a day without her. she didn’t fail to mention how his sister adores her and refers to her as ‘my future sister-in-law.’
the outlandish narrative lasts with an overt nudge about his frequent visits to her dressing room after every show, which you tune out due to its unsavory implications.
most women would have risen from their seats, confronting her for spewing fantasies about their lover; not you, though. instead, you stay rooted in your place, your curiosity piqued for what else she might spin.
you were engrossed, and if you were to be fully honest, you would’ve readily admit to the guilty pleasure of eavesdropping on the mundane conversations of strangers. your penchant for gossip was shared with your lover, turning it into an unusual pastime. it was a fun exchange of information over cups of coffee or tea, normally ending with one of you left scandalized by what was said. archons, were you excited to tell him about what you overhead…
“do you swear not to say a word about this to another living soul?” her voice hushed to a near whisper, but it still carries to those within earshot.
“of course! right, ladies?” one of the women quips, with the other two chiming in agreement, creating a chorus of “yes!” and “we’ll keep quiet!”
“if you say so…” she takes a deep breath, as if the weight of her revelation was a heavy burden about to be lifted. “lyney and i are dating…” her shoulders then turn slack, exhibiting the instant wave of relief that washes over her.
you couldn’t help it; a snort of amusement passes your lips. it earned you a few disapproving glances from the nearby patrons, chastising your lack of propriety in a public setting.
she embarks on an exhausting tangent, yakking on the long months she had to weather before she could have confided in her dear friends about her supposed private affair.
she emphasized how lyney insisted on maintaining it under wraps for over a year — eh, wrong! the twins met her for the first time five months ago — out of his desire to protect her from the clutches of obsessed fans and admirers.
the longer she spoke, the closer her stories cross into more ridiculous territory. at one point, she spun a yarn about his grandiose profession of love for their anniversary, including dedicating an entire routine inspired by her.
however, what left you scratching your head was the lack of skepticism from her friends. a quick read of her body language would’ve shone a light at her deception. it had you questioning whether you had somehow gone mad or if they were genuinely as dim-witted as they seemed.
“i knew it! no wonder you’ve been smiling a lot lately!”
“ah, i’m so jealous~! sigh, he’s such a handsome man.”
“so romantic… i wish that was me!”
assessing the present circumstances, one might figure you would now reveal all of her lies. you didn’t. rather, you found yourself more inclined to watch and observe how this fiasco will play out.
you trust lyney, enough to know he loves you and wouldn’t pursue another woman behind your back, especially a woman he and his sister worked with. it allowed you to cast aside your initial worries about her and her interest in him. regardless of your opinion, she did her job well, even though you secretly wished she wasn’t so uncomfortably obsessed with him — a notion she made no effort to hide.
clearly, given what you were witnessing.
“oh, look, ladies! here he comes!” one of their voices pierces the air, overtly eager to see the ‘happy couple’ they were led to believe. conversely, lyney’s self-proclaimed lover appears to be positively distraught.
the man in question enters cafe lucerne, his gaze firmly laid on you. he shows little to no mind towards the group of women who shadow his every move. he walks by and greets you with a kiss on the cheek, taking the vacant chair in front of you.
“and how was your day, ma belle?” he removes his hat then runs his fingers through his hair — a simple gesture that left you swooning.
his charming demeanor momentarily distracts you from the comedic disaster unfolding in the background.
it was a tumultuous stir of “huh… who’s that?” and “gasp, is he cheating on you?” while the two of you converse in mindless chatter. one second, he was recounting his chores for the day; and the next, three indignant women loom over him whereas the source of this mayhem cowers in the back.
“ugh, the audacity to have a mistress and meet her in broad daylight! you have no shame!”
he glances from you to them, genuine bewilderment etched upon his face. “i beg your pardon?”
“oh, don’t play dumb! you know exactly what you’re doing!” another of the women upturns her nose at him.
witnessing the heated back-and-forth, it was remarkable to find that even arouet was invested in the drama.
it transforms into a three-versus-one impasse, but you were impressed by how gracefully he navigated through their baseless accusations. the culmination of the situation came when recognized his ‘lover’ and didn’t hesitate to call her by name, pressing answers for the lies she’d been spreading to her friends.
“i think you’ve all been misled, the only woman i’m seeing is this lovely one right here.” he turns then directs the gentlest of smiles at you.
unable to resist the itch, you finally laugh at the sudden turn of events. karma was indeed on the prowl, and to be a bystander for the incoming argument after she made a fool out of her friends, just to feed her delusion, was gratifying… for one of you, at least.
“care to tell me what just happened?” lyney tuts, his fingers extending across the table to grasp your hand in his, urging to draw your focus on him.
“later,” you mutter, absorbed by the evolving spectacle. it’s obvious you both will spend the whole evening discussing this…
from the very start, you weren’t one to rejoice in having any eyes on you. it was natural your bond with the one and only wanderer flourished discreetly.
this change in your life required no announcement. it wasn’t information that demanded broadcasting to the world; it could exist on its own if someone were to ask, you’d directly confirm the status of your relationship. otherwise, you find it irrelevant to insert this in areas where it held no relevance.
in the comfort of your solitude, you thrive, cocooned from nosy onlookers. your happiness, his happiness — these two were what truly mattered to you.
as time flowed by, your connection deepened, evolving into a union that grew stronger with each passing moment you shared. it was a sensation both of you held dear, a genuine and keen emotion that, if you dare to admit, could be called ‘love.’
of course, you weren’t ignorant to assume that your journey would be obstacle-free. beyond his undeniable intellect and esteemed role as the assistant and confidant of the dendro archon, he also began to draw attention for his otherworldly beauty.
you were aware that you might coming across his admirers one day. after all, you weren’t oblivious to the wistful glances sent his way by other women, nor the coy attempts at flirtation. still, you hadn’t taken into account the unusual lengths some individuals would go to win even a sliver of his time and attention.
it was painful to watch their efforts be met with a scoff or a withering frown. on a good day, they might receive nothing more than a mocking, “what do you want now?” from him.
on a sun-drenched afternoon, you find yourself perched on the steps leading to the sanctuary of surasthana whilst you await his return from his meeting with lesser lord kusanali.
yet, the tranquility of the sacred place was soon interrupted by an unexpected revelation — you weren’t alone. a trio of researchers positioned themselves near the entrance, their presence blends into the revered location, evoking no more notice than the everyday sights that surround you.
the sunlight dances upon your skin as you, absentmindedly, fiddle with your bracelet, a habit that had taken root over the years. the food container you had brought stays on your lap, and you can feel its warmth gradually dissipate. a frown on your face as you whisper a plea that he arrives before the snacks you prepared grew cold.
your gaze strays and locks onto one of the women standing nearby. suspicion dripped from her eyes, it lingers far longer than you liked. at first, you considered it a peculiar coincidence — perhaps she mistook you for someone else she knew?
unable to contain her curiosity, she approaches you with an air of authority, disregarding her friends’ endeavors to stop her from creating a scene.
“state your business,” she dictates, her tone icy.
you stand unwavering, refusing to yield an inch in the face of her bid to intimidate you. “if you must know, i’m here for wanderer.”
your words invoke a profound reaction within her, it coursed through her like an attack. “well, save your breath and don’t waste your time bothering him.”
“why not? who even are you to tell me what i should do and shouldn’t do?” your cadence steady and colder than hers, a testament to the time you spent with your dear wanderer — it seems to be paying off.
you expected her to either insult you or begin a monologue about her superiority as a researcher, but her reply took you by surprise.
“i’m his lover, duh! i don’t appreciate you flirting with him.” then, in a single motion, she confiscates the container from your grasp.
glances were exchanged amongst her peers, who advance to mediate the interaction. one of them pulls her away and positions himself between you. “i’m sorry for her behavior, miss. her sleep deprivation has her spouting nonsense.”
“i am not! there are clear signs he feels the same way. we’re dating; he’s just very reserved about his emotions.”
before it can escalate further, a familiar voice slices through the tension like a blade. “where have you been?” he chides, as he descends the steps.
beneath his hat, you spy the glaring discontent he directs at these strangers for taking your time away from him.
when your eyes locks, his gaze softens. the sour expression dissolves and was replaced by a flicker of warmth. you offer a reassuring smile in his direction, a gesture that noticeably eases his mind.
he was a stride away from you when she, flaunting a smirk, stops in front of him. you lay a hand over your lips to quash your laughter after spotting the look of disgust he tosses at her.
“wanderer, honey!” she tries to touch his arm but fails when he sidesteps her. “don’t worry, i already handled this pest to lessen the burden for y—”
“who are you?” he sneers, and the haughty look on her face instantly disappears. she attempts to stutter a response, an effort to remind her title as his lover, but his menacing gaze he wore silences her.
“moreso, who are you to advise my wife what to do?”
eh? his wife?
“your wife?!” her friends turn pale, realization dawning upon them. they shiver at the thought of unintentionally crossing him, all thanks to her behavior.
“i-i just thought…”
“well, you thought wrong; know your place.” in a last display of irritation, he shoots them a cutting glare. then, he seizes the food container from her grip, his fingers then intertwine with yours as he guides you away from them.
as you walk away hand-in-hand, you cast a quick glance at her and stick your tongue out to mock her.
“i saw that,” he snickers and tugs you along, nearly causing you to stumble, “and you say i’m mean.”
“don’t get all smart, you called me your wife earlier.”
“shut up! it was meant to end the conversation early.”

Day 12. Armin and Reader Getting Mistaken as a Couple
note(s): I love Armin, my blond boy doesn’t get enough love 😔
requested by anon
Honestly, you both should’ve expected this. With how often Armin looks for you to show you a new book he has or to just lean on your shoulder and talk about things that are weighing heavily on his heart. Anyone watching the two of you would assume you’re together with how close you sit or the constant laughing at each other’s words. It’s cute. The only issue is that neither of you see it yourselves.
“I think your boyfriend was looking for you,” Ymir tells you one day when you both crossed paths.
You can’t help the confusion that sets on your face. “Boyfriend?” You ask and are greeted with her rolling her eyes, a smirk on her face.
“Uh huh, playing dumb makes you look dumb.” Your expression hasn’t changed besides a bit of an annoyed look at her comment. Ymir just sighs and shakes her head. “Armin was looking for you.”
“He’s not my-“
“Save it for someone more gullible. Although, if we are playing games, then I’m going to find Krista. My roommate.” The emphasis and her tone of talking to you like a child is more frustrating. But Ymir walks off before you can argue more.
You just shake your head and go search for Armin.
You find the blond sitting alone in the library, books scattered around him. A smile crosses your face at how focused he is in his reading. It’s easy to sneak up behind him and watch him jump at you clearing your throat for his attention.
“Oh! Hi, sorry I didn’t mean to ignore you.” He’s quick to apologize as you sit next to him, giving you a sheepish smile. “I was reading about the ODM gear. There’s so many intricate parts to them… And this is probably boring to you.”
You can’t help a laugh at his words. Armin always worries about bothering you when he starts going on tangents about whatever subject has his attention.
“It’s not boring, Armin,” you reassure him before continuing, “Ymir told me you were looking for me.”
There’s a confused look on Armin’s face. “I wasn’t looking for you.” He blushes a bit as he thinks on his words and adds, “Not that I’m not happy to see you!”
You smile at his words before letting out a sigh. “Then she was probably messing with me. She also called you my ‘boyfriend’.” Armin’s cheeks get darker at that and there’s a warm feeling in your chest from it.
“Really? Eren was making comments about how close we are too,” Armin mutters and you feel your own face heat up.
“Do we really look like a couple?” Armin smiles at your question.
Honestly, you never put a label on your friendship. You just know that you’re both rather close. But with how close you and Armin constantly are and how you can feel your chest tighten from him smiling just now… maybe something more wouldn’t be so bad.
“I guess it does look like we’re more than friends,” Armin answers and you see him getting the same look he does whenever he’s deep in thought. “It’s a bit annoying listening to everyone speculate or making comments on it.”
He…. He finds it annoying?
“Oh. You think so?” You have to force yourself not to make a face at how flat your tone sounded. Armin’s eyes seem to brighten at your reaction and you have no idea what he’s planning.
“Don’t you find it frustrating? I mean, with how Ymir is, I can only imagine how that encounter was earlier.”
“She was being a bit annoying,” you mutter.
“Exactly. So… If you actually were my partner… The speculation would stop.”
You just stare at Armin. He has a more shy smile on his face as he looks at you. You know that he can be rather tricky when he wanted to be. But to ask you out in this way?
“You want to be my boyfriend?” You ask, wanting to make sure you aren’t misunderstanding. Armin blushes more but nods.
“We would probably deal with more teasing, but it would stop the unnecessary comments about us finally dating.”
He makes it sound like he’s gotten these comments before, but he hasn’t mentioning it to you in the past. But there’s something more important to focus on.
“And you want to date just to stop those remarks?” The blush on his face and looks he gives you are giving you your answer, but you can’t help but want to hear him say it.
Armin smiles at your question, probably understanding what you’re pressing for. “That and the fact that I like you a lot. I haven’t really had feelings for anyone before and then I met you. So please, will you be my partner?”
Your heart beats faster at his words. Part of you do want to fish for more compliments and sweet words from him, but you know you could probably get those once you’ve answered his current question.
“Yes, I’ll date you, Armin.” The way his eyes shine and his smile widens has your heart doing flips.
“I’m glad… You know, Eren has been particularly frustrating with pushing me to ask you out. Should we tell everyone except for him?” You can’t help your laugh. Armin can definitely be tricky when he wants to be.
beat him in a duel (bonus points if you smirk as he lies wandless on the floor)
or generally, be better than him at something he take pride in, whether it's duelling, or charming your way out of detention
wink at him, no explanations. just do it and see what happens :)
be confident darling, walk like you own the room. he can't resist someone who knows their worth
indulge him with witty remarks or sarcastic comebacks
stick together even if it's straight to some serious troubles. ride or die sort of situation (Sebastian is the real one)
share some secret with him and watch as he straightens up, eager to prove he’s trustworthy, his eyes lighting up at the idea of being the one you chose to share it with (he’ll guard it like a dragon guards treasure)
whether it’s sneaking into the restricted section or investigating cursed relics, always say “yes” to his wild ideas, be up for an adventure, he lives for it
out of nowhere, pull Sebastian by the tie and kiss him hard
punch Leander in the face
keep s friendly competition between the two of you
offer him a hug or a kind word when he's feeling low, show him you care beyond all the chaos and banter
visit Anne, cheer her up a little (he'll be deeply touched when Ann'll tell him you came by)
show (and teach) him some impressive spell. the more dangerous and not on the curriculum the spell is the better
sneak, plot and get into trouble together basically
tease him about his hair, lightly poke fun at how perfect his hair always looks, and watch him get adorably defensive
complement his freckles
hand him a treat during a study session (food is love)
leave him a mysterious message that leads to a hidden spot in the castle. he’ll be dying to find out what you’re up to
rest your head on his shoulder and watch him freeze for a moment, his breath catching, before he leans ever so slightly into you, trying to act nonchalant while his heart races
︵‿︵‿୨♡୧‿︵‿︵
hi, you can find more of my works about sebastian ♡here♡
did you put apollo justice in HELL???
sorry he was an angel and confessed his undying love to klavier a few episodes before the season ended 😔
oh that’s cool but did you ever think about how you will never mean as much to anyone as killua and gon mean to each other? and you will never be able to imagine how they felt when they separated.
well, good night! [ominously]

(I found this on Pinterest so if I'm wrong please correct me)
Hi again, thank you guys so much for the amazing support on my last post!! And I hope this post also lives up to your guy's expectations.
Word Count: 2.1k (and somehow 11k characters?! TuT)
Armin wasn't exactly the most social type back then, so I imagine for you two to get close enough to date you must have spent quite a bit of time together.
I can think of a few ways you two may have met and gotten close. Maybe you guys sat next to each other in classes, were sparring partners, or maybe you were there for Armin all the times Mikasa and Eren seemed to have forgotten he was also a part of their friend group.
It had been just a few minutes after lights out when Sasha shook me out of bed and yelled whispered for me to grab my coat and follow her. By the time we were out of the cabin a few of the other girls had gotten up and were grabbing a few items. Sasha led our small group until we reached a clearing in the forest, a good distance from the bases. "Sasha, what's all this?" I asked her as the rest of our group ran over to their own friends. "It's a party, Duh." She said looking at me with a goofy smile until Connie yelled for her to come help him roll a joint. I watched her run off and then made my way to a group of my classmates sitting in a circle. Jean, Ymir, Eren, Mikasa, and Armin Arlet all sat around a small bonfire. Spewing out a few 'hey's and 'hello's before claiming a seat in the circle. Jean and Ymir were in some argument over brunettes or blondes being cuter, and next to them Eren sat trying to carve a spoon out of a small log. Mikasa and Armin were talking about something I couldn't really make out over the sound of the fire crackling and Jean and Ymir arguing. As I watched the fire crackle all I had on my mind was why the hell Sasha had brought me along. It's not like I'm antisocial but I hadn't really established many close friends and the ones I had were human meatballs now. So a party wasn't the most comfortable place to hang out. Before I could continue my thoughts I got distracted by Mikasa getting up pretty abruptly and running after Eren who had somehow broken the log he was carving and wanted to look for a new one. Doubt we'd see them again tonight. My eyes flicked over to Armin and as we looked at each other, a mirror of slight shock reflected on both our faces. Before either pf us could look away I burst into laughter at Mikasa's weird behavior and Armin just stared at me even more confused than before. "I'm sorry it's just I never see anyone so serious act like that, I'm not trying to be rude she just catches me off guard," I tell him, feeling like he may have kinda misunderstood me. A shy smile pulls on his lips as he looks back at me. "Yea it is kinda odd isn't it?"
And that's where your friendship bloomed from. A right place and right time you could say. Though Sasha says it's all thanks to her.
Over time the two of you became really close. While Armin read you'd sit near him fiddling with your own hobbies. Sometimes you'd get caught up in him and end up spending a few moments watching him while his eyes scoured over dusty pages.
Armin was such a sweet friend, always asking how you are, being there to talk, explaining the stuff you don't understand from class to you a million times until you understand.
And once again you both were at a party when your guy's relationship finally takes the next step.
Through a stupid game of truth or dare...
Sasha scans over each and every one of us as she carefully picks her victim. "Jean!" She exclaims and Jean looks at her with an annoyed expression. Sasha and Connie have been picking on him all night, each time either giving him the truth of exposing his crush on Mikasa or the dare of letting them draw on his face. This time was no different as Sasha added a small horse on his forehead that would definitely not be gone by tomorrow. After Sasha got done we all burst out laughing. "Hey!" Jean yelled, "It's my turn alright so shut it!" And of course, I had responded to him with a snarky "Okay, Horse face" Jean turned to me with a sarcastic smile and asked me truth or dare. "Dare" I chose nervously. Jean turns to Connie and they start to whisper between themselves before Jean turns to me with a smirk plastered on his face.
"Kiss Armin."
So now here you and Armin were. At first, he'd be kinda shy about y'all's relationship but I could see you bringing out a more confident side of him.
He would be the type to remember all the little anniversaries, picking you a small bouquet for your first month.
Now I can't see him being great at making gifts but he would try his hardest!
Would definitely choose you as his partner for almost all group activities. Don't think that means he's gonna let you do no work, oh no no no. This man would rather teach you it a million times than let you get by being ignorant. (Sees this as an act of service kinda love lol) Told you before with the most serious face that " Knowledge was the greatest currency he knew"
Speaking of acts of service, that and praise is probably his love language. Of course, he would love holding your hand, a little bit of cuddling, or a few pecks on the cheek. But when he wants to show his love for you he'd tell you what he's thinking and just genuinely spend a lot of time with you.
I can't see him being big on any forms of PDA, except hand-holding. Hear me out though, I think he'd be the type to hold pinkies instead though.
I could see him writing you hundreds of love letters he'd never give to you but be too scared to get rid of them in case someone else (Jean and Connie) read them, or God forbid you saw them.
He would swap books with you if you were an avid reader. ( Would want for you guys to make matching bookmarks as a kinda of date!! )
But if you were more of a sporty type then he'd definitely love to watch you play, even if he cares nothing for the game itself. Maybe even give you some pointers he noticed or help you strategize. After watching you for awhile he would be able to go on like hour-long rants breaking down each and every little detail and rule of the game and way overthinking it.
Now if you guys for whatever have a fight he'd be quick to apologize because he'd never want you mad at him. (Still believes he's right though, just won't tell you that )
Definitely has a few red flags and will work on some of them.
When he's struggling with all the things going on with Eren, one of his main stress relievers would be you playing with his hair, tracing your nails against his scalp.
If you ask realllllyyyy nicely he just might let you braid his hair or tie it up. Even though he knows he won't hear the end of it from the others.
Surprised you a few times with flower rings he made for you.
I could see him being really involved in the wedding planning. If it was up to him either a light purple or sea blue color theme.
In a more modern au, I could see him offering to paint your nails for you if you ever complain about it being able to get them done. He would spend hours trying to perfect it and maybe it didn't match the reference perfectly but they were perfect to you ♡
(These are less relationship-focused and more so things I think about Armin )
Struggles so much with Eren always doing everything so rashly and getting into trouble that he never lets anyone help with it. I feel like he may have had a fear of being replaced or left behind by Eren and Mikasa because he isn't as strong as them.
Just someone tell him he's making the right choices and that he can't make everything right. He needs to hear that.
Jean and him are really close and hang out a lot. Jean is a way more chill and less stressful friendship for Armin compared to half of his other friendships. I can see Armin feeling like he needs to be a therapist friend for everyone, outside of just Eren and Mikasa too, big people pleaser.
Jean just really knows how to chill and not ask a lot of Armin, of course they've talked about heavy stuff before but it's a lot more talking from both of them rather than Armin needing to comfort the other person. Every once in awhile Jean actually is the therapist for Armin.
He does grow out of that though. Starts to become a lot more set in reality after seeing all the deaths in the recon missions. Some meaningless little drama isn't something he needs to focus on helping a fellow cadet out with. Still holds onto some of his people-pleasing tendencies but has figured out a lot of his priorities in his personal life.
I think Armin truly believed that fighting those bullies back in his childhood wouldn't have been the right choice and wasn't just because he was weaker.
I could see him knowing how to play a ton of card games that he learned from his grandpa.
I also think at one point he learned how to sew from Eren's mom. Eren would tease him by saying things about how he's "finally fitting into his girly hair" Then when he actually tries it and sees how hard it is and how much better Armin was he quits the teasing comments.
I think Armin has a lot of trust issues in almost everyone after figuring out Annie was a traitor. To him, they seemed pretty close and had a good understanding of each other. But Annie's betrayal really shattered some of his innocence and trust in the world.
One time he told Connie that if he walked around barefoot he could get flesh-eating worms. Connie was a bit more than traumatized by that information.
As sweet as Armin seems he is honestly so manipulative. It can hardly be noticed by anyone except maybe Commander Erwin or Levi but Armin's a bit too smart to try it on them. He accidentally tried to manipulate Commander Erwin one day over something small and when Erwin subtly commented on it he almost died of shock.
I could see Armin having a lot of respect for his superiors but not being the type to follow them blindly. Like the smart kid who isn't afraid to correct the teacher. And yes he was that type of student, to an annoying extent.
Armin as a student mostly just studied the material he was being tested on to a point where he was confident he knew it. And then would dig extremely deep into any topics that interest him. He knew every type of rock that existed inside the walls but couldn't remember his 12 multiple facts.
He definitely isn't antisocial or introverted. A little shy, yes, but mainly he's just a extrovert or ambivert who's not very loud. In no way has he ever been afraid of talking to people or making his thoughts known.
Speaking of talking to people, him and Hange are total geek besties. The spent hours looking at the hardened titan skin fragment and theorizing on all sorts of topics
I think when he was younger he saw a really huge pond and thought he had some how found the ocean inside the walls.
Probably would spend days going on picnics with his parents and reading in flower fields before the wall break. Once tried to bring Eren and Mikasa on one and never got any reading done.
This man's library card would be personalized in his favorite color (sea blue) and bedazzled.
I could see Armin being a really big Jazz and blue grass guy. Mostly because it's non-lyrical and doesn't tend to distract him as easily.
Would bust down to some Megan thee stallion and nasty redd. I mean, look at that stance-
————————————————————
Sorry to all those hoping for older Armin, I STILL haven't watched season 3/4 of AoT so I don't really have too many thoughts on older Armin other than that ma is SOOO FINEE Soon enough I'll write for him, and yes there will be another poll for writings posted after this post!! I like when you guys interact with the story's makes it feel really personal. And thank you again to everyone who liked and reposted my last post!! It did so much better than I ever expected. A Big thank you to all my new followers. I'm so glad to have you guys as followers!! And I hope this post is just as good as the other if not better.

Scara: go on, answer it baby
You: do i have to?
Scara: if you don’t then i will
You: fine. basically i fell for scara before i knew he was a popular streamer, he was just a classmate from my photography class. the day after our first date is when i found out he was the balladeer.
Scara: and you continued to date me and not tell me you were my mortal enemy!

You: i think you mean how kinky you are
Scara: and you’re into it so what does that say about you?

You: you still are
Scara: you’re into it
You: …unlike him i will be taking a shot for this one

Scara: okay
You: awe look, he’s all shy now
how many kids do you both want if any?
Scara: i like kids but i want zero of my own
You: he compared it to a dog
Scara: that makes me sound bad! i said it’s like a dog because other people’s dogs are cute but if i had my own i would accidentally kill it
You: my blood line ends with me
if your partner was in a coma, how long would you wait for them?
Scara: a good year, maybe two if i feel like it
You: THAT’S IT?
Scara: …yeah?
You: offended you won’t wait an eternity for me and never fall in love again
Scara: my water bill will finally be normal again without you
You: such a romantic you are
how often do you two get into arguments? and what about?
You: not as much as we used to, we’re better at finding solutions and communicating
Scara: it’s usually about how busy we are due to work
You: yeah sometimes we go weeks without seeing eachother and it makes him cranky
Scara: one time they ran towards me at an airport
You: it was romantic!
Scara: i had to drop my coffee to catch you
something about marriage that scares you?
Scara pours himself a shot.
You: hey, tell me!
Scara: no thanks
You: Please?
Scara: …fine. just scared you’ll get bored eventually or realize i’m not the one
You: i’ll ever get bored of you!
Scara: we’ll see

author’s notes — i thought this wud be silly so hope u enjoyed 🙏 almost free 😭😭
synopsis — you, better known as STARDUST, and BALLADEER have always been in competition for the top streamer spot on twitch, which is especially impressive since the two of you have never shown your faces. you’ve never been on good terms, constantly one-upping each other in matches and getting into petty arguments on twitter, causing your fans to also dislike each other. that’s until BALLADEER does a face reveal that breaks the internet with his good looks…which makes you realize it’s the same guy you went on a date with last night. the type of date that made you crave to see him again. the only problem was he didn’t know you were STARDUST and he was way different behind the lens than he portrayed himself online to you. should you keep your identity a secret to salvage the relationship or just let him go?

the previous question about photography and Saeran got me thinking all day and i dont really have time to replay the game myself so i would like to ask you - and the kind people in your comments
☆ has Saeran ever mentioned being into other forms of art? i personally think he (ge?) would love painting and sketching landscapes/plants he saw outside. Also, ive seen quite a lot of fanarts with him playing the piano or the violin. Im not sure if baking is considered art or if he personally considers his desserts as a form of it, but theres that too.
thank you for answering (◜ᴗ◝)
Yes! A common theme with Saeran is drawing and doodling. His diary is bonus material that you can purchase from the Cheritz Market in the Special Believer Box, and in it, he uses a mixture of drawing and writing to put down entries when he's a little boy. He also uses little doodles to represent the entire honeymoon journey in the Passport Package!
I assume it's because it's easier for him to draw than it is to write since it would have taken him a while to learn how to write properly. It became a habit for him. Kids tend to find ways to express themselves even if you don't teach them how, and for Saeran, it seemed to be his perfect outlet was drawing. It helped him show what he wanted to say but couldn't. This is something he's continued to do later in life, and it's been shown in subsequent material that he likes to draw for himself.
Saeyoung would've been the one teaching him how to read and write since he couldn't attend church, after all. A baby teaching another baby would take a lot of time and care, and Saeran's penmanship as a kid does express that difficulty to learn how to write. That's why we put so much emphasis on fine motor skills when kids are just getting into school, people. They have to be taught how to grip things, be it a pencil, or a pair of scissors!
As far as violin or piano fanart goes, there's no canon basis for it, I'm afraid. That's tied into the themes for Saeran and Mint Eye, and how so many fans love the idea of Ray or Suit Saeran playing the game ost! Personally, I subscribe to the violin theory. I like to think about how it also ties them to V's mother in a tragic sort of way when I'm writing different AUs.
Baking and Cooking count in my opinion! It started as a means to impress the player, but it turned into a passion. GE Saeran's love language is acts of service, quality time, and words of affirmation. Love and time goes into learning how to make a new dish. That's something that Ray, Suit Saeran, and GE Saeran share. There are plenty of game CGs and supplementary material that support this!
Request: " hello! i loved your dating imelda hcs so much!! i was wondering if you could do one with sebastian? i consider you canon source material at this point haha. thank you! "
Pairing: Sebastian Sallow x GN!reader
Type: headcanon
Warnings : Fluff, kinda long, unedited and not proof read
✧⌈ Before Dating ⌋✧
As the eager type Sebastian Sallow seems to be, you two didn't start dating right away. Despite him wanting to cut to the chase and ask you officially to be with him, he decided to follow Ominis' advice and court you instead. He believes that despite his slight impatient tendencies, he wanted to prove to you that he was worthy of you. To earn your heart just as he has your trust and friendship.
⤵︎
He would start off by walking you to class. He'll offer to hold your books and even your bag as he lets you guide him towards your next class. If you two have the same class together, he allows you to walk in first as he trails behind you to your shared desk, gently placing your books on the table with a warm smile on his face. If you don't have classes together and both your classes are on opposite sides of the castle, expect to see him in detention more than once as he has made it habit to arrive late to his lesson just so he can spend as much time with you as possible while walking you to your own designated location. You can lecture him all you want about having his priorities set straight, but he'll just have an impish glint in his eyes. His mind already reassuring himself that you are his priority.
⤵︎
The other thing he would do is write you letters. Except at least three or five letters/notes be sent your way each day. Many of the letters are just inserts of sweet or even romantic quotes he has found and highlighted in books he reads. Other times, he would leave encouraging words written out in small notes and tuck them away at a random page in your textbooks, or sneakily place them inside the pockets of your robes for you to find later. He has sent so many letters to the point that the owls are starting to give him annoyed squeaks each time they see him with YET another piece of parchment in hand.
⤵︎
He wouldn't take you out on dates during the courting process, instead he would invite you for "quality time". Which ultimately just meant that it was just the two of you doing anything together that didn't exactly have to be romantic. Sneaking off to the restricted section for a required book or item, studying together (his head laying on your lap), last minute adventures into the forbidden forest, spell practice in the Undercroft (Ominis just napping in a corner while you two did your thing), or even taking you to Feldcroft to visit Anne together.
⤵︎
His love language is physical touch and acts of services. However, with the both of you not being official, he had to limit these to a few fleeting touches and with a helping/offering hand in order to not seem overbearing. His hand would always move a strand of hair out of your face, his fingers would graze and even linger a bit against your own when handing you something, his shoulders would be pressed against yours whenever you sat together, knees itching to press against you when you're next to one another, and sometimes he would press his chest against your back when looking at something over your shoulder. His acts of services would be limited to him only being able to hold your books for you, obtain a book you need (regardless from where he had to get), take the blame if you both get caught doing something that was either yours or his (or both) idea, helping you master a spell ( that he himself had to practice long hours to ensure he could be a good teacher), or even saving you a seat next him (sometimes having Ominis roll his eyes as he was forced to sit in front or behind the two instead).
⤵︎
This goes on for the betterment of three months. Sebastian has never wanted to cut to the chase to a slow burn so badly, and he was close so many times to out right confessing and asking you our on a proper date, but he knew he couldn't. It was too soon and he didn't wish to rush this, he wanted it to work. But even on the days where he feels his yearning might win, he looks at the way how your face lights up when spotting him across the room and suddenly everything stops. Reminding him just why this was so worth going through.
⤵︎
When you first became official was actually because you said something first. Having had enough of Sebastian's slow burn approach and for once, his impatient nature seemed to have possessed you.
⤵︎
So you shouted out to him and into the heavens that you don't want to just be friends with him and it all happened over an interrupted study session between the two. Sebastian was helping you with your transfiguration essay, having pulled all the stops with the researching he spent doing to ensure you both go a Satisfactory on your assignment. However, as he was leaned over the table, reading your introductory paragraph over your shoulder, a Hufflepuff girl that Sebastian has known since the start of the year ran up to him with the biggest grin. Before either of you knew it, she was dragging Sebastian towards a section in the library to help her get a book she needed, her arm clinging onto his as she did her best to playfully banter with him as she clung to him.
⤵︎
Not only did this bother you, but Sebastian didn't even seemed bothered, which upset you further more. The truth was, Sebastian was just trying not to seem rude in front of you while on the inside he was screaming to get back to you. Disappointed he couldn't smell your citrusy scent that you omit. Once he finally got free from the pestering girl, a pout on her lips as he finally got away, you slammed your book shut and harshly put away your items. With a simple "Let's go", sebastain spent the betterment of ten minutes chasing after you with his stuff flying out as he called out to you. Asking what was wrong.
⤵︎
It wasn't until you reached the courtyard did you just feel your anger (or was it jealousy?) bubble over and you shouted at him as to why he hasn't asked you out yet. Needless to say, you went into a tangent, a loud one. Even cornering him to a wall as you confessed how crazy he drives you and if only he could see how badly you wanted to be his. By the end of it, not only did you have him speechless, you had him smiling like an idiot who had just won the best prize any man would be lucky to have. When you finally calmed down, breath heavy and face flushed for your outburst, Sebastian simply leaned in, slowly reached over to wrap an arm around you and pulled you flushed against him.
⤵︎
"You are breath taking, you know that?" He whispered, eyes swirling with admiration and adoration, his freckled nose gently rubbing against your own. Lips only inches apart, "May I kiss you?".
⤵︎
Your first kiss together was sweet and tender. Even needy at some parts as that one kiss told the both of you everything you needed to know. His lips were overpowering, firm on what they were doing and soft with how they went about it. He was passionate and attentive, affirming you that you were all he ever wanted.
⤵︎
After that, he popped the million dollar question and officially asked you to be his.
✦⌈ Dating ⌋✦
When you two start dating, you might as well be magnets because one is hardly ever seen without the other.
⤵︎
Sebastian is always seen dotting on you, asking if you need help carrying anything, if you need to go to Hogsmeade to buy a new quill- no forget that, just take his instead! Ominis well lend him another, right Ominis? ...Omins?
⤵︎
He seems like the type to try and play it cool, kinda like "oh yeah, we're dating. What about it, folks?" when in reality he's more like, "Yes! we are in fact dating, they're amazing right? Merlin only knows how lucky I got that they liked a fool like me."
⤵︎
You two are thee power dueling couple (having learned a lot from yours truly). The second you two sign up for a dueling match together, people just outright know there is no point in trying to beat you two, after all, you two have developed your own sorta of dance and signals when it comes to coming head to head with someone.
⤵︎
It's not uncommon for people to see you snogging.... everywhere.... Ominis actually stopping hanging out with you two as often as he did, something about not needing to hear moist plopping noises next to him. But there isn't any place in the palace you two haven't at least had a make out sesh in, the restricted section of the library having a whole new purpose to it now.
⤵︎
He tries his best to get you and Anne to hang out as much as possible, wanting the two important people of his life to get along and spend quality time with one another. Anne teases him over how dotting he is over you, calling him out on his almost 'Husband-like' treatment towards you. Truth was, he just wanted you to be comfortable, not wanting the uncomfortable presence of his uncle to disrupt any quality time with his twin.
⤵︎
One day when it was just him coming over to visit, he spent a majority of his time talking about you. Talking about how smart and caring you were, that he's actually gotten less detention now that he was with you because he had you to be a good influence with. Although, Anne met you only a handful of times, there was nothing she loved more than hearing how her brother finally managed to live his life again. His usual dark and gloomy demeanor having lifted and changed for the better ever since you walked into his life, and that was something she was extremely grateful for.
⤵︎
His flirty personality should be a given, in fact it probably got 10x more bold since you two started to go out. It was something that made just about everyone, including the professors to roll their eyes at whenever he sent you a cheeky wink or a sly comment over performing well in class.
⤵︎
Speaking of class, the professors had to make a mental note each to not separate you two in class. As much as they are annoyed with the flirty whispering that happens when they turn their backs, nothing compares to the distraction you two make when you aren't by one another. Let's just say, Garreth wasn't the only one who made a cauldron explode that evening when Professor Sharp had decided he had enough of you two giggling with one another.
⤵︎
Sebastian has told you mulitple times that there wasn't anything he wouldn't do for you. Take the blame for you or help you study well into the dead of night, steal a book for you or give you all his assignments to copy off of him, die or even kill for you. Nothing was off limits when it came to his loyalty to you.
✧⌈Extra/Random Headcanons⌋✧
Sebastian is a studious individual, he actually has good marks on each of his classes and is highly praised as a student by his professors. Having that said, on the days you are too lazy to do an assighnment and it's due the next morning, the inner scholar that lives within Sebastian will willingly sacrifice his sleep to help you finish it. Sure, you could just copy off of him, but something he would never deprive you of is knowledge.
⤵︎
He's a big whiner when you two are together. But more in the sense that he pouts when you have to leave him or complains that you pulled away from a second when huddled up next to him. He's almost like a big baby but is instantly soothed by a quick peck on the lips.
⤵︎
He has a jealous streak, but it isn't anything overbearing or violent. His jealousy doesn't come from a place of ownership, and although he does love showing off how perfect and awesome you are, he isn't scared of you being stolen from him. He's scared you'll realize you could do better then him and leave him. So if he does feel slightly insecure, he will silently just wrap an arm around you and rest his head on your shoulder, almost like a reassurance to him that you aren't leaving him.
