Warning: LONG
Darkiplier
Well received
He’s happy to hear that you’re pregnant
Heck, he’s elated (but he won’t show it in front of the other egos cause edgy boss ego gotta keep his image)
More than willing to provide you with everything you need during your nine months
He can give you anything ;)
Isn’t really bothered by weird stuff like your cravings or increased/decrease in affection
Wilford throws you two a gender reveal party during your 5th month (Dark isn’t really one for parties but goes along with it for you)
You two are having a girl!
Dark starts to read books about how to keep boys away from his little girl (for the future)
Occasionally, if you two are cuddling, he’ll place his hands on your swollen belly and smile while nuzzling you lovingly
Is with you throughout the entire pregnancy (or as much as he can be)
Will hold your hand and whisper words of encouragement during labor
“It’s okay, darling. It’s almost over.”
“You said that three hours ago!”
“... I’m trying to help you.”
After an exhausting 16 hours of labor, you’re finally finished and the wails of a baby can be heard throughout the room
He’ll deny it, but Dark shed a few tears while holding his newborn daughter
Her name, decided by the both of you, was Celine Iplier
Wilford
WHAATTTTTTT
REALLY????
Happy mans
Jumping for joy and running around telling everyone he can find that he’s gonna be a dad
You find it adorable
Lots of kisses :3
He doesn’t mind your cravings and 9 out of 10 times he will try any weird concoctions you come up with
Is very impatient when it comes to finding out the sex of the baby
The egos make him wait an entire extra month to find out
Bing and Google work together to throw the gender reveal party
Bing comes up with the idea to make him wait even more by making the inside of the cake blue and pink, the reveal balloons white, and more stuff like that
Wilford looks like he’s going to explode into glitter
Suddenly, Eric nervously comes forward wearing a pink Hawaiian shirt
“C-cong-gratulations.. I-it’s-s a g-girl.”
Chaos ensues
Key word: excitement
Likes to talk about dancing with his little girl when she’s old enough
It brings a smile to your face whenever he has these sweet lil’ gushes of happiness
He was doing an interview when you went into labor
Dr. Iplier began helping you through your labor pains and instructs Google to contact Wilford
Your husband teleports into the room in a panic
“Don’t worry, honey, I’ve gotcha!”
He happily holds his daughter, Willow Warfstache, in his arms quite a few hours afterward
“Wilford? Are you crying?”
“No, I’ve just got something in my eyes.”
“Oh yeah, like what?”
“TEARS!”
Actor
He just stares at you
“What did you just say?”
You repeat the news and he blinks, processing the information
“P-pregnant? Like, we’re going to have a kid?”
You confirm his question, now feeling very nervous
He is looking everywhere but at you, not being able to speak properly
“Y-you.. I.. we.. w-what..”
With a sigh, he turns away and starts to leave
You call after him but he tells you he needs time to think
He doesn’t come to speak to you for a few hours
You’re in the living room of the mansion, a fire crackling in the fireplace while you read a book, trying to take your mind off of things
He walks in and sees you there and, after taking a deep breath, he goes to talk to you
“(Y/n).. darling.”
“I’ve made up my mind, Mark, and I'm telling you now. I’m keeping this baby, whether you want them or not. I don’t care if you won’t want me around, but-”
He sits next to you, kissing you gently on the cheek and you turn to look at him
“That’s the thing, my dear. We’re going to be a family. I’m going to be with you every step of the way. I love you, and I’m going to take care of you and our baby.”
He meant it
He honestly did a pretty good job of it too
Sure he had a few things to gripe about, but he kept his word
You two don’t have a gender reveal party and instead keep to yourselves (for the time being)
Surprise! You’re having a little boy!
Has doctors come to the mansion when you go into labor
He’s starting to tear up and he’s more than happy to hold his son for the first time
“I never thought I could be so happy..”
Five years later, Actor is in a meeting with the other egos when there is a knock at the door
Google goes to answer when it suddenly opens and a little boy runs into the room
“Daddy! Daddy!”
Actor is shocked as (Y/n) quickly comes into the room, looking embarrassed
“S-sorry, we were going to surprise you when the meeting was over. David Iplier, I told you to stay in the hallway.”
Actor ruffles the boy’s hair, “It’s okay. I was definitely surprised.”
Just then they realized how silent the room was until Wilford let out a loud, “YOU HAVE A KID?!”
“Yes I do.” confirmed your husband, getting up and walking to the exit, “The meeting was basically over anyway so I’ll be taking my leave. Buh-bye!”
He took you and your son by the hand and departed, leaving behind a conference room full of shocked and confused looking egos
Dr. Iplier
Is very surprised but takes it well
“You really are full of surprises, aren’t you, (Y/n)?”
Honestly, he’s very excited and tells a few people at the hospital he works at as well as a few other egos
Being a doctor, he knows just what to expect from the pregnancy and, while he can’t always be home to take care of you (he does have a job after all), he does try his best to do what he can
Constantly checking up on you to make sure you feel okay
He’s the one to do the ultrasound on you and you can see his eyes sparkle when he sees his child for the first time
During the fourth month (when you can slightly begin seeing what sex the child is), he happily tells you that you’re having a boy
When one of the egos (probably Wilford but who knows) asks if they know yet, he’ll tell that ego about his son with a smile
Surprise, not surprise, he’s actually the one to deliver his own child
He was at work when an ambulance rushed in with you on a stretcher, obviously in labor
His eyes go wide and he runs to your side, grabbing your hand and giving you a quick kiss on the forehead
“It’ll be okay, (Y/n). Just breathe and get ready to push.”
The labor lasted around ten hours but it was worth it
Dr. Iplier was the first to hold his little boy and he was so incredibly happy
“He’s perfect, (Y/n).. thank you..”
“What do you think his name should be?”
“How about.. Liam? Liam Ipier.”
Very surprised and confused
He wasn’t aware that he could get you pregnant
Yes, he knew he was very much like a human, but not THAT much
He does realize that the timing checks out though and knows that you wouldn’t lie to him about something so important
He’s happy and is sure to tell you that
He is also happy to do what you ask in order to make the pregnancy easier for you
Primary objectives are:
- 1) To answer questions as quickly as possible
- 2) To take care of his wife and future child
- 3) To destroy mankind (he has determined that this objective needs to be put on hold and possibly terminated though that last part’s still up for debate)
Will go with you to every doctor’s appointment and makes sure you feel okay
There are some very difficult parts of the three trimesters specifically when the baby is developing their more human-like parts
These complications were very much obvious during the third ultrasound
“It seems,” said Dr. Iplier in confusion, “that your child has some metal growing on her skin. It’s unlike anything I’ve ever seen before.”
Yup! You and Google are going to be the proud parents of a little cyborg girl
By the way, Google is now 100% sure that the child is his because of this discovery
However, due to the fact that your daughter is part metal, it was pre-determined that she would have to be taken out via a c-section rather than a natural birth
It was just safer that way
When the time came and you went into labor, after a few minutes of waiting in the operating room, some surgeons came and introduced to the world a beautiful baby girl
Google smiled as he held his daughter in his arms for the first time and you watched his reaction from your bed with a smile
She was very small and had small plates of metal that were visible on both of her cheeks and on her upper arms
“Hey Google?”
*ping*
“How does the name ‘Eve’ sound for your daughter”
“I think it’s perfect, my dear.”
Bing
I doubt the baby was planned but he’s happy to be a father anyway
Secretly he’s wondering if he’s actually able to get you pregnant but whatever he has a feeling the kid is his…. somehow..?
Tries his best to provide for you when you need things but probably ends up needing help from the other egos for a few things
Tries to act more mature at the doctor’s office when you go for checkups and ultrasounds
He likes to cuddle you and especially kiss your stomach
“Just givin’ the baby some love. Can’t have them feeling left out.”
Like in Google’s HC, there are some complications and you two find out that the kid is a cyborg
Bing’s happy when you two discover as well that you’re having a little boy
“We can name him Bing Jr. and I can teach him how to skateboard!” He told you excitedly
You secretly doubt you’ll end up calling your son Bing Jr. but decide to let your husband dream before a final decision is made
Well the decision comes faster than you two originally thought because you went into labor three weeks early
Your son is born via a c-section prematurely and while he is put in an incubation chamber in your hospital room, you and Bing are very worried but believe that he’ll be alright
“Hang in there little buddy.” Bing says softly, putting his hand up to the clear wall that contained his son
As he said that, the little boy opened his eyes and began to softly cry
The doctor informed the two of you that he would have asthma, as his lungs weren’t completely developed when he was born, but that he had a very good chance of survival
When you all were finally able to leave about a month later, Bing was the one to come out of the hospital with little Bing Jr. in his arms
Yancy
PANIC
“Y-youse is pregnant?? Oh gosh, what will I tell Mr. Murderslaughter?”
He’s starting to hyperventilate and you hold him tight, calming him down after a few minutes
Yancy knew that he had already gotten special permission in the past to get married to you, his now wife, outside of the prison and in a Church, but this would probably not fly
Don’t get him wrong, as he tells you, he wants the kid
He really wants the kid (he had secretly wanted to be a father for a long time), but he’s worried about how the other prisoners and especially Mr. Murderslaugter would think if they found out
You assure him that everything will be alright and you both nervously go to the warden’s office and tell him the big news
There was a large moment of silence before he orders you both into separate solitary confinement cells
You both spend around 24 hours there before you’re both ordered back to the warden’s office
Mr. Muderslaughter tells you that, while he is a bit upset that you and Yancy did that, realizes that this will be a learning experience for all of them should this happen again, whether it be through you or someone else
So, soon everyone knows the big news and everyone is actually willing to help out
A surprising amount of the other prisoners are fans of babies
Unfortunately, prison food couldn’t quell all of your cravings but you put up with it
Yancy, who was happy to hear all of the encouragement from his fellow inmates, was happy to help you around as your belly grew
He was certainly fascinated when the baby started kicking
“I think they're gonna be either a fighter or a dancer. What’da think, sweetheart?”
Surprisingly enough, your child went over their due date by three days before you went into labor
It was a long and painful twelve hours before your son was born
Yancy couldn’t hold back tears as he held the little boy who slept quietly in his arms
“He’s… so handsome.”
You giggled tiredly, “Yup, just like his father.”
Yancy smiled at you before his looked at his son again
“(Y/n)? Could we maybe name him Clifton?”
“May I ask why? I’m not saying no, m’just curious.”
“It.. Clifton was my dad’s name. I think it suits the lil’ guy.”
You couldn’t help but smile and as you looked at the sleeping child, you realized that he was right
“Clifton.. Yeah I like that name too.”
Illinois
He has very conflicting thoughts on the matter
Yes, he’s happy he’s going to be a dad, but that means he would have to temporarily (if not permanently) give up treasure hunting
“Darling, will this affect how I do my work? I mean, I can’t exactly go exploring with a baby.”
“That’s what you’re worried about?”
You’re a little hurt that his mind is elsewhere in regards to your big news, but honestly you should’ve seen it coming
Illinois looks sad, “With you being pregnant, I can’t just take you with me because something could happen to you and thus the baby.”
You frown sadly but then discuss a compromise with him
He can go treasure hunting by himself until you’re either five or six months pregnant then he has to come home (to LA where the two of you bought a house for when you’re not adventuring) and stay there until I’m well enough to take care of our kid on our own
He was hesitant at first but then took the deal
So yeah, he was gone for the first six months of your pregnancy, but he did make sure to call to make sure that you were okay
You told him unfortunately that you personally might have to retire from treasure hunting to be a stay-at-home mom and while he looked kinda sad about it, agreed that it was a logical decision
On a happier note, you told him that you found out that you two were going to have a daughter
He’s honestly very excited about that (he never knew he could be so happy about something like that)
When he comes back home, he’s pleasantly surprised by the sight of his VERY pregnant wife fast asleep on the living room couch
He can’t help but smile as he goes and gently wakes you up with a soft kiss
He keeps his word and stays with you for the next three months and is there with you when you go into labor
It was a tough 16 hours before your little girl was born and Illinois found himself on the verge of tears as he held his daughter
“She’s so beautiful..”
“So, what do you think her name should be?”
Illinois thought about it for a minute before responding
“Crystal. We met because of one, and now we’re closer because of one.”
You couldn’t help but smile as he passed the little girl to you and you kissed her softly on the forehead
“I like the sound of that.”
Engineer
PANIC
His mind is racing as he stares at you in shock
“I got the Captain pregnant I got the Captain pregnant I got the Captain pregnant”
Yes, he knows the two of you are married, there’s no issue with that, but YOU’RE PREGNANT???
“C-captain.. I-I don’t know what to say.”
“Say you’ll help me raise this kid. They’re yours too.”
“Y-yup! That works!”
It was quite the surprise when it was announced six months later for everyone to hear
You and Mark had been on the low, you personally doing a lot of work at the home you and Mark shared on the colonization planet in order to not stress yourself out
However, someone (Gunther) found out when he came over for a surprise visit to see Mark and ended up seeing you working from a laptop
Gunther was about to say high when the then noticed the casual clothes that clothed your swollen belly
Yeah, Mark told him to not say anything as you two were trying not to make a big deal over it, but he ended up telling everyone
A doctor from the Invincible II had been checking up on you for the past few months and told you both earlier on that you would be having a little boy
When you finally went into labor, a c-section had to be done because the umbilical cord was wrapped around the baby’s neck
Mark was very frightened when he found out but you reassured him that it would be okay, as the doctors knew what they were doing
When you two were presented with your new child, Mark started crying happy tears and he hugged you who held your little boy
“I can’t believe I got so lucky.. To have such a beautiful family..” He whimpered as you kissed away his tears
“Do you want to hold him?”
He did and when he held his son, Daniel Iplier, he smiled shakily and kissed the baby on the forehead
“I love you two… so much..”
Dark:
Doesn’t care either way
He will give pet names like Sweetheart, darling, love, and baby
Doesn’t mind receiving names like Babe, sweetheart, and darling but that’s about it
Physical affection is always a gamble
Sometimes he’ll only tolerate hugs and (maybe) hand holding / a kiss on the cheek
Other times he’ll be extremely affectionate / cuddly / crave kisses
Honestly, he’s like a cat in terms of his emotions in this category
He’s very respectful of personal boundaries
Wilford:
Is down for both at any time and anywhere
Pet names all the time
Gumdrop, sweetie, honey, darling, baby, etc.
Get happy when you call him any of those names as well, or if you call him handsome
Loves cuddling and kisses are a must
He’s especially fond of hugs, especially if you’re feeling down
He gives AMAZING hugs
Actor:
It really depends on how he’s feeling
He’ll call you things like Precious, darling, sweetheart, and babe
He’s fine with either being called Babe or Mark
He likes to use pet names / physical affection in public, especially when showing you off as his gorgeous girlfriend, but when you two are alone, he might end up leaving you to your own devices and doing his own thing
Or there are rare times when he’ll come home and then treat you like a friggin queen
Those moments are something to treasure because he will be so gentle, every touch like he was afraid he’d break you
Chaste butterfly kisses that would leave you breathless and the most soft / warm cuddles that you’ll ever experience
Google:
He’s not the biggest fan of both physical affection and pet names, however he’ll occasionally take them
Hugs, kisses, sometimes cuddling, but not too often
He will not use pet names very often, but if he’s worked up about something, he’ll use them
“Hey, babe?”
Yeah, something’s wrong
It’s not that he doesn’t like/love you if he doesn’t do either one, it’s just a personal preference
Bing:
He’s good with both of them
Calls you Babe and Sweetheart
Likes to be called Babe
PDA isn’t a problem at all
Cheek kisses and hugs from behind
He lives for hand holding
Yandere:
YES
So much PDA and quite a few nicknames
He mainly calls you Senpai, but will also use ‘my love’, sweetheart, baby, and darling
Pretty good about receiving pet names too
Loves hand holding wherever you two go
Cuddling is a must
KISSES
He loves you :3
Yancy:
Is all about physical affection, but will not use many pet names
He’s honestly very touch starved and loves cuddling, kisses, and other things like that (mostly in private cause he is the big boss and has a reputation to uphold)
However, pet names are a bit different
He’ll call you Sweetheart and Doll (especially when he’s jealous), but mainly call you by your real name
Receiving them is the same way
You can call him Yance, Babe, and (rarely) sweetie, but you can mainly call him by his actual name
It’s just a bit more comfortable for him
Dr. Iplier:
Sure for both, but mainly in private
At work, he’ll maybe give you a kiss on the cheek and call you Sweetie, but other than that he won’t do anything
In private, he’ll give you kisses, hugs, all the good stuff
Calls you Baby, sweetie, angel, and darling
Doesn’t really like receiving pet names other than Babe
Don’t ask why, he doesn’t know either
Illinois:
The answer is yes
He gives you more nicknames then he typically receives
Babe, sweetie, angel, baby, darlin’
Is pretty good with physical affection
He likes having one arm slung around you or touching you in some way when you both are out and about
He gets worried about you being kidnapped or just disappearing
Kinda PTSD from losing so many treasure hunting partners
Handholding :3
He loves to kiss you, but be warned, they can get pretty heated
Engineer:
Yes for both but typically in private
His pet names for you are baby and darling, but at this point Captain could totally be one of them too, but only when he says it because otherwise it’s just a title
Hugs, kisses, cuddles, hand holding (whenever people can’t see it)
It’s not that he’s ashamed to be seen as your boyfriend, but he gets worried about what the rest of the crew will think if they find out that his girlfriend is their beloved captain
Like, they don’t really like him, so how will that affect how they see and/or respect you?
Late night comfort sessions
Iplier Egos x reader HCs - Their Favorite Non-Video Game
Dark: Chess
I think he would enjoy how complex and mentally challenging it can be
Chess is also considered a relaxation game for some people
So I wonder if maybe he’ll play chess in order to calm himself down when the other egos (or someone/something else) is driving him up a wall
If you play chess and you’re good at it, you’d probably be his favorite opponent
If you don’t know how to play, he’d be happy to teach you
He’s always happy to spend time with his darling
Wilford: Pie Face or Headbands
It depends on his mood
One moment he’ll be taking the risk of being hit with whipped cream, the next he’ll be crying because of memories of “That Night”
He’s haunted by his past and it really does affect what he can and cannot play at times
When he’s not in the mood for Pie Face, he’ll sometimes play a fun little game like Headbands
A guessing game that can become very chaotic very quickly
Life needs a little madness and that sounds like a good way to set it free, especially if it’s with you
Actor Mark: Poker
He has a gambling addiction
Probably
It’s a way to get more money for his “luxurious” lifestyle
If you play with him, trust that he’ll be flaunting his victories in your face
If he loses, he’ll act like it never happened or give a lame excuse as to why he lost
If you don’t play, that’s probably for the best
But at the same time, if he’s playing against other people and you’re with him, he’ll use you as a kind of “good luck charm” instead of a competitor
That’s just his way of bragging to the others that he has such a lovely lady by his side
Yancy: Charades
It kinda matches up with his musical hobby
Since charades is a game of movement and guessing, he’d probably enjoy it
Also, it’s a multiplayer game so he could play with his fellow prisoners
If everyone is busy, you can play with him, just the two of you
He’d figure out how to say “I love you” in body movements without using sign language or actually touching you
He’s really good
Illinois Jones: Any Card Game
He has limited space when he packs for an adventure
If he’s going to take a game to play while he’s out and about, it should NOT take up much room him his bag
That’s why card games are his favorite
They are very entertaining and don’t take up much room
Even a simple deck of playing cards can go a long way
He loves playing with you, his partner and girlfriend
It’s nice to play with someone rather than being stuck in a single player game for a long time
Dr. Iplier: Operation
It’s like practice for his job but it’s a game
Those tiny pieces are especially tricky and he LOVES it
He feels very happy and accomplished when he completes the entire game without getting Cavity Sam’s nose to light up
If you play the game with him, then expect him to guide your hands from behind
Like that romantic yet annoying thing that couples do when one of them is working on something
He gets really close, his whole body pressed up against yours
When you successfully extract a tough object, he’ll whisper praises in your ear
You can feel his warm breath and it sends shivers down your spine every time
If he wants to really make you flustered, he’ll nibble on your ear and kiss your neck
Just a little something he does with you and you alone
Google: Google Feud
I don’t think this counts as a video game
Anyway, he likes to extend his knowledge by playing this game
It helps improve what he could potentially expect one of his “brothers” or you could ask him at any time
His primary objective being what it is
If you decide to play with him, he’ll enjoy seeing your facial reactions when you read off the answers, or seeing your smile when you get something right
He might be a robot and not fully able to understand the concept of love
But he truly enjoys spending time with you, someone who treats him just like a normal person
It’s something that makes him feel human
Bing: Cards Against Humanity
Why does that game just seem to fit his personality (and search engine)?
It’s goofy, funny, and at times inappropriate, just like him
It’s a game he can enjoy with a lot of people
Unfortunately, he can’t play a one-on-one game of CAH with you, his girlfriend, but he’s happy that he can enjoy time with you alongside the other people in his life that he cares about
Yandereplier: Hide and Seek
What’s more romantic than a friendly game of hide and seek?
Especially when he didn’t know that he was going to be playing until you’re already hiding
His heart races as he searches each and every room for you
Whenever something makes a sudden sound, his head whips toward it so fast you swear he could get whiplash
After a while he’ll find you
He always does
He’ll hold you close and say how much fun the game was and how much he loves you
He’ll also whisper that you should never surprise him with hide and seek again lest you never see the light of day again
He does care about you
He’ll do anything for his sweet sweet senpai and girlfriend
Even if that means keeping you away from the world
Head Engineer Mark: He’s Down for Whatever
He doesn’t really play games because he’s too busy
However, if you ask, he could probably take some time off and play a game
Of course, none of you really packed anything so it’ll likely end up being a game like Sticks, Checkers, Chess, Tic-Tac-Toe, anything that you guys can make or have on hand
It’s nice to take a break and have a little fun
It takes his mind off of things
Darkiplier
Giving: Gifts
Based on how he treats you during ADWM, I'd assume he would like to give you things.
Like, dude was offering you dinner, saying he could take you anywhere, he could give you ANYTHING.
I also think he'd smile if he saw how happy you'd be to receive the gifts.
Receiving: Quality Time
Since he has access to anything and everything (except Mark's channel), he would probably just be happy if you spent some time with him
You two don't need to talk or anything, just be in the room with him and he'll be happy
Poor baby has spent so much time alone that he just needs to know someone's there for him nearby
Wilford Warfstache
Giving: Words of Affirmation
Honestly, this is one of the only things that makes sense to me
He uses so many nicknames for you (gumdrop, sweetheart, sweetie, honey, honey bunches, etc.) and loves to give you compliments
If you are the type to get super flustered when receiving compliments, he'll do it 10-fold with a smile
Receiving: Physical Touch
Mans doesn't even know what’s real or not anymore
Like, he watched his friends die (by his hands or otherwise) in front of him
Give him hugs because it will remind him that you’re real and actually right in front of him
Cuddles
Lots and lots of cuddles
He loves being the small spoon
Googleplier
Giving: Acts of Service
Nothing more to say really
I mean, he’s GOOGLE IRL
He genuinely likes helping you out
Especially if you’re the one who asks him to assist you in a task
Google likes to feel wanted and needed
Especially by you
Receiving: Words of Affirmation
Make sure you tell him how much you appreciate his help
Especially if you pair your praises with a tight hug and/or a kiss
He’s a pretty confident guy, but even the mighty Google needs a reminder that he’s wanted
Bingiplier
Giving: Quality Time
Though he’s not as reliable and (formally) useful as Google, he’s actually a pretty fun guy to hang out with
He loves showing you tricks and going out to fun places with you
Honestly, he’s just happy when you’re with him
It makes him feel special
Receiving: Words of Affirmation
Obviously
Poor baby needs to be told he’s good for something
Everyone compares him to Googleplier and it really kills his vibe
Please for the love of jimbalooshee tell him that he’s doing a good job
Tell him you love him
Say that he’s appreciated
JUST PLEASE LET HIM KNOW THAT HE’S NOT JUST THERE FOR DECORATION
He just wants to be loved and useful
Yandereplier
Giving: Gifts
He really likes giving you things
Stuffed animals, candy, flowers, body parts from a mutilated corpse, a new video game
Just whatever he thinks will make you smile
Anything for his senpai~
Receiving: LEGIT ANYTHING
He’ll love almost anything you do!
His gifts are the things he’s stolen from you for his Senpai Shrine
He loves any compliments or comforting words you give him
He’s down for physical affection anytime and anyplace (especially in public)
Quality time is basically anytime
You’re his senpai!!
Dr. Iplier
Giving: Works of Service
Trust him
He’s a doctor
Just let him take care of you and he’ll be happy
He takes it upon himself to see that you’re happy and healthy
He does a really good job of it too
Receiving: Quality Time
He’s an ambivert
He spends all his extrovert energy at the hospital with his patients and colleagues
Then he comes home and recharges himself (hopefully with you)
If he's having a hard day, he'll invite you over just so you can pamper him
He loves coming home to a nice dinner then relaxing
Watching a movie and falling asleep on the couch together?
Heck yea
Late night cuddles if you're sleeping over?
Sign him up
Sometimes, he’ll decide to take a day off of works just so he can spend more time with you
Actor Mark
Giving: Gifts
Smug and rich(ish) boi
If he’s not too busy spoiling himself he’ll probably get you something (depends on his mood)
Don’t be surprised if he gets himself something better
He says he deserves it
Receiving: Words of Affirmation
After Celine left him he kinda became a little self conscious
He gets nervous that you’ll leave him too
That’s why he (randomly) buys you gifts
You are gonna need to constantly tell him that you love him and that you aren’t leaving him
He does love you too
It’s just kinda hard to tell at times
Yancy
Giving: Quality Time
Prison boi loves spending time with you
You’re his first girlfriend in a long time
Maybe ever??
He can’t remember
He loves showing you new dance routines and songs he’s been working on
Every so often, he’ll sneak out with you to the prison roof and just spend a few hours stargazing (like a date)
Receiving: Physical Touch
Touch starved baby
He only displays affection when you’re alone, typically speaking
He does have a reputation to hold after all
Yancy likes hugs
He loves it when you hug him from behind
Especially if you’re shorter
If you’re taller than him (over 5’ 10”) and rest your head on top of his it also makes him happy
It makes him feel like a teddy bear
Cuddling
Late night cuddles are his favorite
He also really likes kissing, but that is saved for when you two are alone or unless he’s jealous
Illinois Jones
Giving: Quality Time
He enjoys every moment you two can spend together
He’ll never admit it but he kinda hates being alone, so the fact that you decided to stick around possibly permanently??
Happy mans

(Y/n) had come to expect letters arriving in her cell every other day. It was a constant thing now. Her family wrote to her occasionally, but the majority of notes she received were from someone she didn't recognize.
And how could she recognize a letter from someone who never signed it?
As cliche as it sounded, her apparent admirer was constantly complimenting her through his penmanship. The only reason she knew he was a male was because he had said before in a past letter, "A man like me doesn't deserve an angel like you."
That comment had made her blush so much that the other female prisoners worried she was running a fever.
(Y/n) held a new note in her hand, admiring just how simple it was. A small piece of paper with the front held together by a red heart sticker, like you would find on a first grader's valentine. Inside was some messy yet intelligible handwriting that looked like an attempt at fancy calligraphy.
"(Y/n),
A dove like you should be away and free from us ravens and crows. But of course, this jailbird fell in love with you and can only dream of making you his own. After what I've done with my life, how could I deserve to even be close to you, much less your lover? Nevertheless, like Romeo, I will continue to love you, my Juliet, even if it kills me."
(Y/n) blushed and walked out of her cell and made it to the yard where a majority of people were gathered. Like usual, they were either playing basketball, lifting weights, or taking a small nap in the sunlight. It was a gorgeous day outside and sleep sounded very appealing, but (Y/n) had something to do first.
"Hey guys!" She greeted her fellow female prisoners, the letter clutched in her hand. Tiny, one of the tougher girls, smiled at her mischievously. "Ohhh~ you got another letter? What does it say this time?"
Some of the other girls crowded around her to hear the reply as it was read out. They were all romantics in some kind of way and a secret admirer story unfolding right in front of them was certainly exciting.
"Well, he told me that I didn't belong in a place like this, and he even called me his Juliet." Some of the ladies let out an "awww" and Tiny wrapped her arm around (Y/n)'s shoulders. "Man, he really seems to have a thing for you, huh? Who do you think it is?"
"I don't know. I keep hoping I can pick up signs or some kind of hint when I interact with the boys, but I'm not picking up on anything. I guess I'm just really boggled that I even have a.."
She trailed off as she looked toward a group of 8 boys playing basketball over in the prison court. There, being patted on the back after an amazing 2-point shot, was Yancy. (Y/n) blushed, seeing how his slightly damp shirt clung to his toned body, his skin slightly shining from sweat as he panted and smiled at his teammates.
Time just seemed to move in slow motion when she looked at him. He was beyond attractive. He was so handsome, he could kill ladies with just a look. Heh, maybe that's another reason why he was in prison.
"(Y/nnn)? Hello?" Tiny waved a hand in front of her face, seeing that her friend had zoned out. "Huh? Oh sorry. Were you asking me something?" Some of the other girls gave each other knowing looks and (Y/n) looked at them in confusion. "Am I missing something?"
"You have it rough for him, huh?" Asked Tiny and (Y/n)'s face erupted into a bright red blush. "Huh? Why would you say that? He's my friend, granted that he's a very attractive friend, but still!"
"Girl, admit it. You have a big ol' crush on Yancy." (Y/n) knew she was caught and she looked down in embarrassment. "I.. gosh I know I do but I feel kinda bad about it because I have no idea who's writing me these notes. I kinda hope it's him, but if it's not I'm gonna feel terrible if I don't like this guy back and reject him."
"Reject who?"
(Y/n) stiffened, recognizing the voice that came up behind her. "Oh, hey Yancy," said Tiny with a smirk, "we were just talking about (Y/n)'s secret admirer." (Y/n) turned around to see the scruffy faced man she had grown to love. He smiled while his tattooed hand rubbed the back of his neck.
"A secret admirer eh? You don't usually see dat in prison. Yous gots any idea who it could be?" (Y/n) shook her head. "I don't recognize the handwriting and I haven't really got any other clues, so no not really. Do you know anything?"
Yancy shrugged. "We males don't really talk about all dat romance and lovey dovey stuff, but I'll keep an eye out for ya."
"T-thanks." Was all (Y/n) could say while shyly looking up at his grinning face. He really was so kind. A criminal with a heart of gold. Yancy nodded at the girls behind (Y/n) and turned to leave, joining the other boys back on the court.
Turning back, (Y/n) saw the girls smirking and looking at her expectantly. “What? Is there something on my face?” Tiny shook her head and laughed softly. “No, it’s just that some of us already know who your admirer is.” (Y/n) was shocked. “What?? Who is it?? Tell me!” Giggling, the girls began to move away, shaking their heads. “Sorry, we can’t say anything. Good luck figuring it out though.”
“Tiny! Guys! Come on, I thought we were friends!” Laughed the (h/c) female as she chased after them.
From across the yard, Yancy watched their interaction and he bit his lip nervously. He knew that Tiny and the other girls wouldn’t tell (Y/n) about his secret crush on her, but still, he swore that they loved to tease him with their knowing looks. “Oi, Yancy pay attention!” Said Sparkles McGee, tossing him the basketball. “Sorry. Was just thinking ‘bout stuff, y’know.”
Bam Bam smirked at him. “Oh, thinking about (Y/n) again are we?” Yancy looked over at him quickly, “What? No! ‘Course not. What makes youse say dat? I think of other things.”
“Riiiiight, because staring at her and losing touch with reality means you’re thinking about other things.” Laughed McGee and Yancy pouted a little. “Shut up, it isn’t like dat.”
“We all know about those love notes you’ve been sending her. I’m surprised she doesn’t know it’s you sending them yet.”
“Well, she doesn’t need t’know either.” Snapped the handsome prisoner, glaring at his friends and tossing the basketball to the net only to miss. “I doubt she feels the same anyway.”
“Are you kidding?” said Bam Bam, looking at Yancy with evident shock and confusion. “Have you seen the way she looks at you? I swear you’re just as oblivious as she is!” This was news to the man in question and he looked over to where his crush sat with her friends. She relaxed under a tree, her (h/c) hair slightly messy from the light breeze that flowed through the yard. She laughed, her melodious voice sounding like a symphony to Yancy.
(Y/n) suddenly looked over at him when Tiny pointed him out. She smiled at him, waving, and as he blushed, he waved back. His heart beat so fast and he resisted the urge to run away to his cell. He had a reputation to uphold as the Prison Tough Guy. Turning away, he saw the guys smirking at him and he shook his head, the basketball being passed to him again. “Shut up youse guys.”

As (Y/n) sat in her cell a few nights later, unable to sleep. She was thinking about her admirer. Who could it possibly be? Gosh, she hoped it was Yancy. No, she shouldn’t get her hopes up. Any girl would die to have him as their lover, even if he was a murderer, but Yancy sees all the prisoners as family, so he probably only sees her as a sisterly figure. Her secret admirer was probably someone else.
That same night, Yancy slaved over pieces of paper in his cell. He struggled to come up with the right words to write down, having to start over every time he made a mistake. “You’re my own personal angel.. Ugh no. ‘ve used somethin’ like dat already. Uhh.. You’re so beautiful… naw. Gosh I’ve used up everythin’.” His eyelids were drooping, exhaustion washing over his body. Yancy wanted to give (Y/n) another letter, but he was too tired to write. “Oh well. Maybe I’ll finish it tomorrow..” He thought as he drifted off to sleep surrounded by his crumpled papers.
-timeskip-
“Have you guys seen Yancy?” Asked (Y/n) the next morning. He hadn’t shown up for breakfast which was very unlike him. Both girls and boys alike shook their heads, but then one voice piped up. “I passed by his cell on the way to breakfast,” said Sparkles McGee, “He was fast asleep. I think he was writing a new song or something last night and zonked out in the middle of it.”
“Why don’t you go wake him up, (Y/n).” Suggested Tiny and (Y/n) nodded. “Sure. I’ll be back.” She stood up and made her way down the hall to Yancy’s cell. Sure enough, when she entered, the soft sound of Yancy’s light snoring.
(Y/n)’s heart melted at the adorable sight before her. Yancy was curled up in his bed, cuddling both his pillow and his prison bed blanket. Around him were a bunch of crumpled up pieces of paper. (Y/n) frowned, wondering what exactly he had been writing so late at night. Sure she could just assume that they were just tossed lyrics to a new song, like McGee said, but curiosity was a powerful force and she couldn’t help but look.
She opened the nearest piece of wrinkled paper and her eyes widened. It was a note for her, but most of the writing was scribbled out. (Y/n) could only make out a few words and sentences here and there as she continued looking through the discarded notes. Lots of the phrases were familiar. The handwriting was sloppy but legible, writing out similar sentences to previous letters she had received. (Y/n) could barely contain her tears of joy as she looked at the sleeping man before her.
Yancy was her secret admirer all along.
Placing the gathered papers to the side, (Y/n) crept over to his side and she smiled, reaching over and gently caressing the right side of his face. Yancy leaned into her touch in his sleep, letting out a small purr of pleasure. The poor man was touch starved after all his years in prison and now he finally had the chance to receive the comfort and love that he was craving.
Slowly, Yancy’s eyes began to open and he looked up into (Y/n)’s shining eyes. “(Y-Y/n)? What’re you…” his voice trailed off as her hand trailed up his chiseled jaw into his black hair. He began to fully wake up and he realized what was happening as well as the state of his cell, or more accurately the state which his cell was supposed to be in.
He sat bolt upright, accidentally hitting his head on the top bunk and almost squashing (Y/n)’s hand, and looked around to find that all the papers that were previously strewn around on the floor were nowhere to be found. “Looking for these?” Came (Y/n)’s teasing voice as she held up a stack of small wrinkled papers.
Yancy paled noticeably and his hands began to shake. “(Y-Y/n), p-please, I can explain!” He stood up from his bed, fear written all over his face. “Yancy-”
“No, please listen. I know I’ve been lyin’ to ya about not knowing who was writin’ youse those letters, but I was afraid that youse wouldn’t like me back ‘n I just wanted youse to kinda fall in love with me indirectly before I asked youse to be mine, y’know?”
“Yancy, I-”
“I understand if youse don’t like me back, but-”
“YANCY!!!” He stopped speaking and looked at (Y/n) as she looked at him with an amused smile. “You don’t need to explain yourself. Heck, you had me mostly convinced it was someone else writing these letters.”
“I.. I did?”
“Yes!” Laughed (Y/n), “You did! Honestly, I would’ve felt awful if I had to reject my admirer because they weren’t the person I fell in love with. The letters were flattering, but it would’ve been so much easier just to tell me that you liked me after spending time getting to know me.” Yancy blushed and looked away before she used her hand to gently bring his gaze back to her.
“And I like you too, Yancy, in a romantic way. I have for a really long time.”
Yancy blushed so hard and he rubbed his neck shyly. She smiled, taking his free hand and squeezing it. “Alright, well let’s go to breakfast. The others are going to get suspicious if I never come back after going to get you.”
“Heh, I guess so, since they already knew about my little crush on youse.”
Even though they both knew they should leave, neither of them really wanted to. It was a nice change of pace to just have time for the two of them. (Y/n) looked up at Yancy and leaned up, kissing him gently.
The kiss only lasted a second, but it brought one of the best feelings either of them had ever felt. “I… you..” stumbled Yancy, struggling to say coherent words as he touched his lips in awe. He looked back at (Y/n) with a hopeful expression.
“C-could we do that again?”
(Y/n) laughed and nodded, “Of course.” This time, Yancy was the one to take the lead, leaning down and gently holding the sides of her face in his large hands. His lips met hers in a passionate hunger which took (Y/n) off guard. It was a sloppy kiss, clearly inexperienced but euphoric to experience for the both of them.
“Y-Yancy, we’re gonna get caught. I was sent to find you and bring you to breakfast. Everyone’s gonna get suspicious if I never come back.” Yancy kissed (Y/n) again with a small possessive growl. “I don’t care if we get caught. I gotta start showin’ the others around here dat your mine, sweetheart. You’re so dang beautiful. Wouldn't be surprised if one of them started a fight with me over youse.”
Something about him calling her ‘sweetheart’ and getting really protective really got her knees weak and face red. “E-even so. What would the warden say?” That last part is what finally got Yancy to stop. “Fine, I’ll stop..” His arms wrapped around (Y/n)’s frame in a warm hug which was happily reciprocated.
“I love youse, (Y/n).”
“I love you too, Yancy.”
Back in the cafeteria, some of the others were starting to wonder when (Y/n) was going to come back, hopefully with their leader in tow. “Do you think something happened?” Asked Hank, looking over at McGee who was smirking. “Something romantic, maybe.”
Tiny groaned and shook her head in amusement. “I swear the two of them are so dang oblivious they better get together soon because I don’t think I can take the tension and stupidity anymore.” There was a hefty laugh that filled the room but it was soon replaced with cheers as Yancy and (Y/n) walked in from the hallway, holding hands and blushing madly.
From his office, the warden laughed softly, looking at the new couple in one of the security monitors. “It’s about dang time.” he murmured, taking a long sip of his lukewarm coffee.
