When you’d been dropped at his feet, he was skeptical. The knight had been dying — a process he was happy to help along, once he’d heard what he had to say — when he begged for him to protect you, leaving you swaddled at his clawed feet.
Typically people had a strong distaste for dragons who kept princesses, but apparently the hostile takeover of your kingdom had caused this to be an exception. Shrinking down into his humanoid form, he plopped down beside you, staring with ethereal blue eyes. The two horns that curled from his head didn’t frighten you; in fact, you seemed most interested in them as he leaned down to examine you.
Small, pudgy hands reached for him, and he couldn’t help but smirk. You were a cute little thing, despite being all fleshy and needy. Carefully, he lifted you up from the stone ground, warmed by several blue fires he’d started when the knight arrived, and held you to him. Almost immediately, your little hands grasped and pulled on one of his horns, earning nothing but an annoyed huff as he attempted to gently shake you away. It made you laugh; his heart melted.
“… Fine. I’ll keep you.” Dabi sighed, and that was how the two of you began.
Halloween again!!! So… I’d love preferences crossover with the “not childish” squad!!! Cloud, Sephiroth, Thor, Captain America and Kratos!!! Their s/o, being super childish, super excited about dressing up and do trick-or-treating, but aware of how “serious and not into it” is the guy and kinda scared of being judged by him. Shyly asking, yet almost begging since they’re dying to go. Reactions, please!!!
Cloud:
Cloud is just broody and apathetic, he doesn’t feel like doing anything. It’s all so pointless in his opinion, he can’t be bothered to participate. Buuuut you love Halloween, which complicates things. He doesn’t want to let you go trick or treating alone, he wants to go with you and protect you. Just because he knows there’s a lot of people out in Halloween. But don’t even think about asking him to dress up (he might let you put some spooky make up on his face, but that’s it, and reluctantly) or share your excitment. But he smiles on the inside at your eagerness, despite not understanding it.
Sephiroth:
Honestly? He sees it as an opportunity to kind of create chaos. It’s so easy to scare people on Halloween, and even if he might not be too into the traditions and stuff, he does love the ambiance. The spooky enviroment and the creepy feeling to it all. Sephiroth might not part take in anything, but he kind of feels at home walking around the streets during Halloween with you.
Thor:
Thor has grown to be a more serious person, but Halloween is a good chance to cheer him up. At first he might be skeptical and a bit grumpy that you want him to go with you, but then he realizes Halloween is not all that bad. The costumes are cool, the decorations are awesome, and the candy is delicious! He might consider dressing up with you next year.
Steve:
Steve isn’t actually that bothered about it. He has a specific point of view about the world, so he thinks it’s nice that people are so cheery and get together for a festivity for a change. And even though he might not really participate in it himself and he’s a bit confused by it all, he enjoys the decorations and the costumes. But overall, he enjoys you having fun on Halloween.
Kratos:
He’s not amused by any of it, he thinks everything is stupid and that people shouldn’t waste their time with costumes and such. The only saving grace for him is seeing how happy it makes you. He might be grumpy and scowling all the time, but when he sees how your face lights up and how excited you are, he might crack a little smile.
tchalla hacks buckys phone location so he knows where he is if and when he wants to beat his ass
he just gets bored and he’s like hmmmmmm bucky’s only two miles away frm me time for pain buck boi
forget the tony and steve man pain, i want to just see scenes of Bucky standing in the self checkout line with a loaf of bread and TP then suddenly tchalla is there throwing a shopping cart at his ass and they start fighting. bucky in the bathroom washing his hands calmly before tchalla kicks the door open and they start fighting. tchalla having a sandwich in the park until he sees bucky coming then he throws it at his face and then they start fighting.
Bucky’s about to dive in the pool, T’Challa runs up, drop kicks his ass and flips out of the splash zone.
it’s very important to me that sometimes t’challa is in a high-level but very boring cabinet meeting about grain prices or smth and his secret Danger Phone goes off and he glances down at it and then grimly says, “i must go.” and everyone’s like, wow. our strong and brave prince. off to protect Wakanda in her hour of need again. meanwhile t’challa’s just hit bucky barnes with a SPECTACULAR flying clothesline outside a Home Depot in bed-stuy
this art established 3 incredible concepts:
1. bucky’s favourite cereal is honey nut cheerios
2. t’challa someHOW knows this?!?!?!
3. t’challa knowing this, had a parody version called honey nut fearios created and hid behind it waiting and then choked bucky out
Petty fights require thorough planning and unnecessarily complicated set ups
Imagine the day of his mother’s death, Alucard was planning to introduce you, his s/o, to her…
It was planned perfectly. He was going to surprise her at the door with you standing behind him. He would step to the side and his mother would look upon you for the first time and you to her. The scene played seamlessly in his mind that you two would instantly get along. You had that sort of effect on people, a common trait he felt you shared with his mother. But fate had a different story to tell…
When he discovered his mother’s house was set ablaze, he was quick to move towards the plaza with you trailing behind him. His heart sets off in a panicked rhythm as he dared not to imagine his worst fear come to life. Yet it did, his golden eyes widen in terror as he watches his mother being burned alive. His body snaps to action when he hears her cries of pain. He moved to save her, rage bubbling inside him to exact vengeance upon her attackers and the ignorant people around her, but her voice stopped him. Sensing he was nearby, a talent she picked up from years with his father, Lisa cried out to Alucard, begging her son not to act against humanity, to spare them and be better. It was only then did Alucard stay his hand.
She was practically telling him to let her die and forgive her killers. So paralyzed was he in despair that you had to lead him by the shoulders away from the plaza, away from the tragedy and what would be the place that cements Wallachia’s doom.
You both wandered about for some time. Not saying a word. There was nothing you could say that could possibly bring comfort to what your lover has suffered. What made it worse was that the two of you were merely waiting for the streets to clear before returning to gather his mother’s ashes unnoticed and give her a proper burial. It…
“It wasn’t meant to be this way.”
You turned your head to face him. Alucard’s head dipped low, the long tresses of his beautiful golden hair hiding the pain in his eyes. However, it did little to hide the pain in his voice.
Alucard: “Today was meant to be joyous. Two of the most important people in my world coming together to meet for the first time and a new happiness would spring forth from our union. Yet it did not happen…”
You: “Adrian…”
Without a second thought, you embraced him tightly, your arms wrapped around his torso. He wasted no time in returning the sentiment tenfold. He presses his head against your shoulder, his ragged breath blowing against the skin of your neck in quick gasps. The weight of what he has now forever lost dawning on him.
Alucard: “I wanted you to meet the woman who taught me compassion and strength.
I wanted her to meet the one who taught me trust and love.
That there was someone in the world that I can share a love that was like hers and Father’s.
Undescribable and true and wonderful.”
You can feel his sadness shake throughout his chest in sobs. The weight of his mourning in throes bearing down on you until you too began to cry while doing your best to show him that you felt his pain and loved him still in your embrace and whispers of comfort. Alucard tightens his hold on you, the feeling becoming too much but he was loathe to let go as if by doing so he would risk losing you too forever. His heart would not have been able to bear such grief. It barely holds on now. What could have been would now never be and he could only endeavor to never have you share the same fate.
