"Y'know, before I got stuffed in this oversized plush, used to design toys at that place. Then one day they said I was elected for 'testing' and that I was to be announced dead in an accident. My last request was to write my then partner a letter of my love for them and for it to be delivered without fail. When I finally came back to in this furry body I was told the letter had been sent...sometimes I still wonder how he reacted to it."
"..."
"Anyways what'd you say this game was about again? Saving this green fellow's brother from a haunted house?"
(Mr. Crackler the type of old guy to just suddenly go into his horrific backstory out of complete nowhere at any time.)
“You’re lucky I’m used to people trauma dumping so suddenly Mr. Crackler.”

Diavolo: ...
MC: *standing on their back legs* *begging eyes*
Diavolo: I was joking when I said I wouldn't bring you back to Barbatos.
Diavolo: So please don't cry. I also want to play with you... *puppy face*
MC: *squeaks*
MC: *goes to climb on his lap* *squeaks*
Diavolo: You'll play with me?
MC: *squeaks*
Diavolo: Great! Actually I bought some new toys—
Barbatos: Young master.
Diavolo: *slowly turns his head* B-Barbatos?
Barbatos: *woke up without seeing MC that should be sleeping on his chest*
Barbatos: *smiling* Do you know how much I have panicked when I didn't see them?
Diavolo: *laughs awkwardly* I— I did knock on your door.
Barbatos: Then why wasn't I woken up?
Diavolo: ...
MC: *squeaks* *looking at him*
Barbatos: *his mood suddenly changed* There you are. *gets them*
Diavolo: Barbatos...
Barbatos: *kisses MC on the cheek* Let's eat breakfast.
Diavolo: But... I have prepared breakfast for them too... *as he watches them leave*
ik you’ve written abt megumi a lot lately but i’m in deep right now lol😭 can i request a childhood friends to lovers with him and the readers met everyone that he knows except Itadori and Nobara? i feel like meeting them with him would be very chaotic and possibly embarrassing for him
childhood friends to lovers >>>
you're probably the only friend he made in grade school, unless you count tsumiki. honestly megumi isn't sure why you insisted on hanging out with him during recess or lunch, seeing his reputation was a little... well, you know how it was.
at first he's probably a little annoyed that you keep insisting on hanging around him, but eventually you're just a constant in his life. he wouldn't admit it, but on days that you stayed home sick or had an appointment during school hours, he was a little bit lonely.
(tsumiki teases him constantly and is always asking about you)
it's not until you admit a secret to him that he decides you probably are his best friend, and will finally admit it out loud. he'll never forget the nervous way you told him that you could see monsters, afraid that he would laugh and make fun of you for such a stupid thing. you're surprised when he sits down with you and tells you all about curses and jujutsu sorcerers and the annoying man that had essentially adopted him to strengthen his abilities in the hopes that one day he could kill those monsters.
(you fall a little in love with him that day in the fifth grade when he tells you that you don't have to be afraid of the monsters bc he'll always be around to scare 'em off)
you remain attached at the hip all through middle school, learning everything about each other during study halls and late nights staying up on the phone together. you talk to him about your cursed technique, and he spends hours with you trying to better understand it's capabilities. neither one of you have any other friends, and if you thought enough about it you'd probably realize you're social rejects. but neither of you care. you had each other and you understood each other, and that was all that really mattered.
the summer before high school, megumi tells you that it was time for him to go to a different school, where he could learn more about curses and follow the path to being a proper sorcerer. you tell him you're happy for him, that you're proud of him, and you know he'll succeed in anything he puts his mind too. he's blushing. you're holding back tears.
you don't want him to go. you couldn't possibly ask him to stay.
and then one day, just before the school year started, a weird man in dark sunglasses and the whitest hair you've ever seen approaches you while you're waiting for your order to be called at your favorite cafe.
he tells you who he is, and that megumi had spent many, many hours talking about you and your abilities. he hands you a brochure, and tells you that he wants you to enroll at jujutsu tech. at first you refuse, you're too afraid of the monsters, and you came from a family of non-curse users. you'd never even told them about your abilities. gojo tells you that he'd already spoken to your parents, and he'd convinced them to let you go to a private school under the guise of your outstanding academic record.
with that, you couldn't really refuse.
megumi is ecstatic when gojo brings you to the school. gojo doesn't think he's ever seen him so happy, and he's surprised when he hugs you tightly, overcome with joy that he didn't have to be apart from his favorite person.
you're both blushing.
in the two weeks before school starts, you help each other unpack and decorate in your little dorms, which are just down the hall from each other. you admit to megumi that you're not sure if this was the right path for you, and he tells you that no matter any anxiety you might have about your new life, he'd be there to help every step of the way.
your heart skips a beat when you look up into his azure eyes, knowing that he meant every word he said. are you supposed to feel this warm and fluttery for your friends? you're not sure, but you enjoy the feeling of butterflies in your stomach, so you don't think too much about it.
you spend almost every waking minute together before school starts. it's the best time of your life. you don't think you've ever been happier. megumi feels the same. he doesn't think he's ever laughed so much in his life spending all this extra time with you that he didn't get as much when you were still growing up.
the night that he's sent to find the cursed object that was sukuna's finger, you had been practicing applying your cursed technique with a teacher back at the school. apparently the blonde man with the spotted tie was the only one patient enough to train with you from the afternoon to well into the evening.
you aren't aware of the events that transpired with one itadori yuji. you had far too much catching up to do. megumi briefly mentions another student joining our class, but he doesn't give away too much information. he'd rather hear about how far you're coming along with your technique, anyways.
a few days later, your mentor Nanami tells you there will be yet another student joining you, a young girl this time. you're excited at the prospect of making new friends.
megumi dreads it.
gojo had already mentioned you (more specifically, he'd said "just wait until you meet (y/n)! I'm sure megumi will be happy to introduce you to his girl!") to the three of them on the last assignment they'd taken together. yuji and nobara had squealed at the prospect of their grouchy classmate having a girl. megumi doesn't know how yet, but he knows he'll have to get gojo back for that one.
it's not until a few days after nobara has joined the team that you finally have some free time away from training, and you suggest to megumi that all four of you should have some bonding time.
"we're classmates. we bond enough" he'd replied gruffly, going back to the book he was reading. but you gave him your best puppy dog eyes and insisted that you must meet them.
"you think they won't like me?" you ask when he continues to shoot the idea down.
megumi huffs, finally dropping the book to his lap and staring blankly at you. you scooted closer to him on his bed.
"you're not embarrassed of me are you, megumi?" you tease, grinning ear to ear.
"course not" he muttered, turning away in hopes that you wouldn't see his blushing face.
you can still see the red tips of his ears, and that feeling of butterflies that you'd been experiencing lately returned. you tease him for his blushing. he gives in with a defeated sigh, throwing his head back against the wall as he agrees to a lunch with your new classmates.
you clap your hands, and lean forward to press your lips to his cheek without thinking. he thinks his heart might burst he could die right there. he gets up and leaves the room hastily under the excuse of finding nobara and yuji.
when the lunch finally rolls around, he contemplates pretending to be sick so he didn't have to go. he couldn't possibly handle yuji and nobara teasing him- which was bound to happen.
but you're so excited, you'd spent all morning with him trying to find the right thing to wear- despite megumi repeatedly telling you that anything was fine, and he was just going to wear his uniform.
"well that's different, you look good in your uniform. it makes me look boxy" you told him, before grabbing a different hanger and heading back into the bathroom to change for the hundredth time.
he feels hot suddenly at the compliment. you continued to fluster him, and it was starting to drive him crazy.
when you emerge in a new outfit, megumi swallows his fear (and maybe his pride too).
"that looks good," he tells you as you look over the outfit in your mirror. "you look, uh, pretty"
you grin, finding it adorable how much he struggled to compliment you. you decide this is the one, and beckon him to come with you to meet your new friends at the gate.
"they're loud," megumi warns. "and... annoying" he adds.
"I don't mind," you shrug, not thinking twice about his cautious words. "I think it'll be good for us to branch out a little"
megumi's hands are closed in tight, clammy fists at his sides.
"i guess" he mumbles. he's never felt so much anxiety in his life before.
(y/n) reaches a hand out to his, gently prodding open his fist and linking her fingers through his. he stops in his tracks, and she turns to look at him, puzzled.
"what's been bothering you?" she asks, worried.
megumi looks anywhere but at her face. all he can think about was how soft the palm of her hand is, and how it seemed to fit perfectly in his. his heart's racing. his mind is buzzing with thoughts of her. but even with her standing in front of him, he can't bring himself to look at her.
"it's stupid"
(y/n) shrugs her shoulders. "so?"
its a simple response, but it seems to do the trick to get herself catapulted over his high, high walls, because he gives in and fucking admits it already.
"they kinda know that i... like you," he says, eyes dropping to hers to watch her reaction closely. "like you like... more than friends like each other"
her mouth forms a little 'o' and her cheeks and quickly turning a rosy shade of pink. she processes the words carefully, before her lips break into a smile, and she squeezes the hand she's holding.
"megumi," she says warmly. "why does that bother you so much? you don't want them to know?"
he sputters out nonsense.
"well I didn't need them going and- and blabbing off to you! I wanted to be the one to tell you first"
(y/n) chuckles, and drags him along with her so they can continue their walk to the gates.
"I already knew," she shrugged casually.
megumi thinks he's going to die.
"but I appreciate you finally telling me," she adds. "and for what it's worth, I like you too"
he wants to cuss her out for making him so anxious over nothing, but he's so elated that he bites his tongue.
(for now, later that night he'll chew you out for not telling him sooner. you'll giggle and kiss his nose and tell him you like watching him squirm. he'll pull you against him and affectionately call you the devil)
and for what it's worth, megumi wasn't wrong. as soon as your new classmates see your joined hands and megumi's blushing face, it is open season. you want to make them calm down for your sweet, shy boy's sake, but you can't help but giggle along while they childishly, relentlessly tease him for having a soft spot.
the soft spot grows larger as he ducks his face into the collar of his shirt. his hand squeezes yours a little tighter.
silently, you tell him,
any anxiety you might have, I'll be here every step of the way. ___
got a lil carried away. i love megumi he makes me soft :')

Language Of Love
AlHaitham X GN! Reader
“‘Italics’” = he’s speaking another language
“So.. you can speak 20 languages?”
A random conversation.
It was easy to guess how you got to this point, boredom.
Spending time with your.. acquaintance, who you may or may not have a crush on, wasn’t on your agenda today, but here you are - sitting on a chair in his office as he effortlessly scribbles down sophisticated words onto parchment.
The sound was certainly pleasing to the ears, skrch sccrch sckrch.
You had no clue what he was doing. Oh, the duty of a scribe..
Or why you even came here..
No.
You knew why you came here, to spend time with him, as a friend only. Or maybe you were less than friends. It was hard putting a label on things when it came to the emotionally stunted AlHaitham. He was almost as bad as the General Mahamatra.
You just forgot how boring spending time with him can be if he’s busy working, thus leading you to flip through one of the many books on his bookshelf.
Yeah, you quickly got bored of that too.
These weren’t story books, they were informative books. You suppose to a man like him who enjoyed learning, this was like being surrounded by candy. To you? Its like being surrounded by encyclopedias.
He probably reads encyclopedias for fun.
So here you were, starting a conversation on a little fact you heard an academia student mutter like it was a piece of gossip even though it was probably outlined somewhere.
“Yes,” The scratching of quill to paper continues even as he glances up at you for a split second, “It’s important for scholars to broaden their knowledge and fluency of languages as to not hinder important research that may be written in a different dialect.”
All of Teyvat spoke the same language, it was easy to wonder why everyone from ancient times suddenly decided to switch. Of course you wouldn’t ask him such a thing, not right now anyway.
You had a plan.
A plan to woo this man.
The many failed attempts before can not hinder you.
Smugly, you said to him, “I bet I know one language you can’t speak.”
Oh, you were already giddy.
Curiosity peaked, his scribbling halted, eyes on you, “Is that so?” He was eager to hear you answer.
Whether you were toying with him, or genuinely knew a language he could add to his list, he was willing to listen.
“Do tell.”
Clearing your throat, you sat up straight and gave him a cocky smile, “The language of love.”
You were met with silence, as expected.
He was starstruck, surely. In awe. Was he wooed?
You could easily speak up with the punchline after his response, oh!! You would say, ‘but I can teach you!!’
Oh, he’s about to respond! He’s-!
“You must be referring to the ancient Fontaine language used by higher class citizens, commonly known to scholars as the language of love due to how words would ‘roll off the tongue like silk’ when speaking it.“
–an idiot? You were gobsmacked.
And he was smirking on the inside.
“I’m surprised you know of this language, you must have learned something from one of the books you’ve flipped through in the library.”
“That’s not,”
“I can even demonstrate it for you.”
“Wait!”
You began to fluster as he indeed began speaking a language completely foreign to your ears.
He was right, the words did flow silkily. This did not make you feel any better. Your pickup line failed miserably.
“‘You are so adorable, trying to trick me like this.’”
You can’t help but pout, wondering just what he was saying.
“‘Look at you, cheeks flushed and puffed like a fish. Honestly, how am I supposed to work efficiently if you’re here distracting me.’”
“Aw come on,” You began to complain, frowning at the gloating male, “I can’t understand you, y’know.”
“‘I do wonder if you’re aware that I know you like me, you wear your heart on your sleeves, my dear,’” he smiles ever so slightly, which completely unnerves you, “‘I like you too.’”
His cheek rests on his knuckles as he leans back and observes your frustration. Oh, how happy he was you brought this up. Any chance to show off his ability and confess without you knowing is always a good opportunity.
He’d shower you in compliments and confessions in all 20 languages if he had the time, perhaps even spill secrets to your unknowing ears.
Oh, how he would like that. He could say his deepest, darkest desires and you’d only look at him with confusion.. maybe even annoyance.
The thought pleased the busy scholar.
“That’s so mean you know, am I supposed to look up your words in a dictionary or something?”
“Oh, they wouldn’t be in a dictionary.” He reaches forward and tugs at your cheek, elation swirling in his broad chest as you whine and swat at his large arm.
“Should you remind me at a later date,” when he’s finally made you his, of course, “I’ll happily tell you what I said.”
“How about right now.”
“It is not a later date, only the time has changed.” Breathing out a sigh, faking annoyance, he turns his attention back to his paperwork, picking back up his quill.
“Ok, so I can ask you tomorrow.”
“You can, however, I’m under no obligation to tell you until I want to.”
“I dislike you very much, Scribe.” You grumbled, settling back in your seat.
He chuckles to himself, “I’m sure you do, ‘sweetheart.’”
What would Thaumo and Nalis do if I just went up to them sniffed their head and said “ew do you not take showers????” and proceed to stare at them with the most deadpan look
Thaumo would stare at you with that stunned confused look he sometimes gets for a minute. He’d then try to pull off a pitiful/pathetic expression & insist that he tried… if it wasn’t good enough maybe you should help him next time he is so obvious it is hurting me
Nalis would be more genuinely stunned and worried & immediately smell himself.
• if there’s a strange smell but it’s not coming from him, Nalis would immediately lead you out of the room, then go back & look for the cause of it.
• if there’s no strange smell he’ll accept your teasing & try to tease you back later in the day.
• there’s a small chance that Nalis got too caught up in his work & didn’t go home to shower or sleep that night. If this is the case he’d be kinda embarrassed, mumble that something work related came up, and sulk off for the rest of the day. The following day he’d show up at your desk, freshly showered & carrying your favorite drink, and in a much better mood again.
MC: *trying to make their way by feeling up the walls with their hands* *being careful for any bumps or cracks on the floor*
Cerberus: *watches them in confusion*
MC: *sigh* If there's only a way to know that I'm going the right way.
Cerberus: Ruff.
MC: ...
Cerberus: Ruff?
MC: Oh. Aren't you the dog earlier? Cerberus isn't? *slowly turns to where they heard him*
Cerberus: *comes closer to them* *letting them touch one of his heads*
MC: *sigh in relief* Thank goodness...
Cerberus: *growls* *then snorts*
MC: Is it okay if you guide me back to the hallway?
Cerberus: *grumbles as a response*
MC: *smiles* Thank you. I really appreciate your help—
Cerberus: *picking them up by the scruff of their shirt and throwing them on his back*
MC: *feels their heart dropped for a second, not until they felt his smooth fur*
Cerberus: *continues to grumble while he slowly walks*
MC: ...
MC: *soft chuckles* Thank you for your consideration, Cerberus.
Cerberus: *proudly raised his head*
hello! i just read your mash fic and i wanna request a mash x (preferably fem) reader oneshot if thats ok with you. maybe something simple like the reader has known mash since childhood and is confessing to him (first kiss too??).
thanks <3
TAGS: Mash Burnedead/Fem!Reader
It's still a bit weird to me seeing how much traction my smol mash/reader drabble is getting even until now, but it's very much appreciated HAHAHA Also, sorry for taking so long to get to this and hope you like it!
"I love you, Mash."
Mash stared down at you without blinking, only making your already overwhelming anxiety practically skyrocket. You could feel how clammy your hands were as you clutched at the hem of your shirt, every molecule in your body screaming at you to run away and hide your face forever yet at the same time you were frozen in place.
"I shouldn't have said anything," you thought to yourself, biting your lower lip as regret swirled within you. Why did you even think doing this was a good idea?
While childhood friends falling in love and getting together isn't anything new in both real life and within the pages of your romance novels, it didn't guarantee that your own childhood friend would happily reciprocate your feelings and live happily ever after with you.
Because why would he?
Even if he didn't have an ounce of magic flowing through his veins, Mash was handsome, honest, and even if it might not seem like it at first, he had a heart of gold that cared for and protected his loved ones fiercely.
Meanwhile, you were just...you.
"Maybe I should tell him that I was just joking--"
"I love you too."
You don't get the chance to run away when Mash's toned arms wrap around your waist to pull you into a tight embrace. You were so close that could smell the faint scent of soap on his skin, fresh from a shower after his daily workout.
"I was planning on telling you before we started school, but...you beat me to the punch."
His statement drained out all the anxiety and fear that'd been brewing inside, leaving only warmth as the meaning of his words registered in your mind.
"Mash...you big dummy!" You laughed, an honest and unrestrained laugh as you realized that all your fears were for nothing.
Despite wearing his usual deadpan expression, you could pick out a certain softness in his gaze as he stared deeply into your own eyes. It feels like you're falling in love with him all over again when he looks at you like this. Your cheeks lit up at the attention.
"I'm gonna kiss you if you keep acting so cute, creampuff," stated Mash, voice lowering into what you could only describe as a husky purr.
His lips are so close now that if you so much as tilt your head, your lips would inevitably meet. Your heart throbbed at the mere thought.
"And what if I want you to kiss me...?"
Mash doesn't waste another second.
It becomes only just the first of many more kisses to come.
MC: Levi, I hope you always take care of yourself.
MC: Please forgive me. But I don't know how these things work. Can you please teach me?
MC: Levi, I'll arrange the bed for you.
MC: I love you, Levi.
The new exchange student: Levi... I like you. Please accept my feelings.
Levi: ...
Levi: I'm sorry. But I can't.
The new exchange student: Wh-What do you mean? You were the always one who—
Levi: I'm not interested in you. I shouldn't have been. *walks away*
The new exchange student: ...
Lucifer: Levi, I heard what happened between you and the exchange student.
Lucifer: Are you sure you were not interested of them? I remember you being so excited whenever you talked to them—
Levi: ...
Lucifer: ...
Lucifer: Levi, are you alright?
Levi: ...
Levi: No, Lucifer. *starts to tear up* I miss MC... I miss my spouse. *sobs*
Lucifer: ...
Diavolo: Leviathan kept on mentioning about having a spouse?
Lucifer: *worried frown* Yes. I know Levi can be a bit weird sometimes, but what if he's telling the truth?
Diavolo: Hmm... But won't you know if he ever had one?
Lucifer: *sigh* Yes. That's why I'm confused.
Barbatos: Young master? Lucifer?
Diavolo: Oh! Barbatos! Weren't you supposed to be back next month? Why are you here now?
Barbatos: *chuckles* Well, something unexpected happened.
Diavolo and Lucifer: ???
Barbatos: I met someone. *blushes* And I want to introduce them to you.
MC: *enters the room*
Barbatos: Meet my eternity.
