Main 6 April Fools hcs

Asra:

  • His pranks are more playful and thought out than just ordinary trickery that usually comes on April Fools.
  • The worst prank he’s played on you was probably when he came back to the shop with a loaf of pumpkin bread that he said had chocolate chips in it, but they were actually raisins. It still tasted good tho but that’s not the point.
  • He’s very sweet after he plays a harmless prank on you, kissing your nose while you pout and pulling away with a chuckle on his soft lips.

Nadia:

  • Contrary to popular belief, she’s not always dignified and refined— she’s got a playful side that enjoys partaking in a few pranks here and there.
  • It’s not often she does pranks but her favorite was probably covering Lucio’s beloved goat milk soap in clear nail polish so it wouldn’t lather.
  • She’s the type to raise a hand to her face to keep herself from laughing out loud and try to act innocent after a successful prank.

Julian:

  • Oh he can be a stinker on April Fools day. He likes staying up to ungodly hours to set up pranks.
  • Everything you need in the shop for the next day is moved to the highest shelves and the ladder is hidden away somewhere.
  • He’s chuckling to himself even before you see what he’s done, he can’t help it, it’s a surprise that he doesn’t always give it away that he’s up to something.

Muriel:

  • He’s not good at pranks and doesn’t really see a point in partaking in them.
  • His favorite prank, though he really doesn’t see it as one, is just eating a lemon whole with his usual neutral expression to get a rise out of you and others who are around him.
  • He’ll even smile with the peel between his lips and teeth if he knows it’ll make you laugh.

Portia:

  • She loves pranks and has been playing them since she was a little kid, Julian was just too easy of a target for her pranks. She’ll tell you all the ways she’s managed to bamboozle her oblivious brother.
  • Her specialty is doodling spiders on unassuming things like on the toilet paper roll or on a few of Julian’s notes. She can’t stop laughing when she hears a scream come from anywhere she just was.
  • Most likely out of the main 6 to start and win a prank war, with an alliance with you of course.

Lucio:

  • Prankster is his middle name. Yep, Montag Lucio Prankster Morgasson, that’s him.
  • Anyone and everyone is seen as a target for one of his schemes on April Fools day, the servants dread it when the date approaches. He’s partial to screamers and scaring people but he would never do it to you.
  • He still holds dear that first prank he did with you by his side. You know, the one on the Chamberlain when he took the feather off their hat, good times. 

Bonus, the familiars:

Faust: look out Julian, the queen of squeeze is coming for you. She likes making him a bit paranoid, staying just in the corner of his eye before she goes for a sneak attack.

Chandra: she enjoys silently flying behind a group of servants who’re gossiping in the hallways to act like one of them and say “who?” over and over again to annoy the main gossiper.

Malak: he likes stealing shit. If you so much as look away for one second, whatever you just had is now gone without a trace.

Inanna: she likes to go behind you or Muriel and shake off the rain water that has soaked into her fur, she finds your momentarily shocked expression priceless.

Pepi: she loves to be sneaky and dart her paw out to smack you, Portia, and everyone within her paw’s range as they walk by when she’s feeling playful.

M&M: they’re partners in crime and their favorite things to do is to trip someone. One of them growls at an innocent passerby and the other sneaks behind them so they’ll trip while backing away. Their barks almost sound like cackling as they run away.

Lucio being hesitant to say “I love you”

A while ago an anon sent an ask about this, I just remembered it tonight, so inspiration fucked me over and stole my shoes lol slight angst

  • He’s put up so many walls around himself, even if he’s touch starved and a major flirt
  • Sure he’s been known to move fast and like the feeling of instant gratification, but there’s something holding him back from telling you how he feels
  • On many occasions he tries to tell you those three little words, but each time he fails to get them out
  • He’s so frustrated at himself— he never had so much trouble saying it before, so why now?
  • Fear of rejection? Possible. Fear of abandonment? Now that’s more likely
  • But then again, this relationship he has with you and the love he feels for you is different than the others he’s had in the past. This feels special, genuine, and for once he doesn’t want to rush it
  • He never fails to look a bit shocked whenever you tell him that you love him, it’s gone in the blink of an eye before going back to his “well I’d sure hope so” attitude, but it’s still noticeable
  • You’re the first person that he can remember who actually gives a shit and cares about him
  • You’ve just been so patient with him and actually made him feel like he was truly loved for the first time in his life
  • The first time he’s physically able to tell you, he’s crying and his eyeliner is running down his cheeks
  • He doesn’t even remember when he started crying but he’s just so choked up on his emotions, your hand cupping his cheek and wiping away his tears is just so calming
  • It took him so long because he didn’t want to get hurt in the end, he’d given his heart to Nadia once but with the way she treated it and how far they’d grown apart— he originally didn’t want to give it out so fast
  • He’s anxiously hoping to hear you say “I love you too” after his confession, but the kiss his lips receive is just as good and reassuring before you’re able to breathlessly say it back
  • He’s fallen hard for you and the cherry on top is that the feelings are mutually shared

Asra and Portia tickle headcanons

:) possibly already did this awhile ago but…. What’s the harm of a (possible) part 2?

warnings: none!

-Asra Alzanar-

  • Cruel, absolutely devious, no mercy
  • Once you see a certain look in his eyes, you know you’re done for
  • The combination of him being very touchy, affectionate, and mischievous means that when you get caught in a tickle attack, you’re getting peppered in kisses, praises, and compliments (so it isn’t that bad tbh)
  • Cause I mean… being tickled can be torture at times, but it’s 100% worth fluttering neck kisses, Asra’s soft voice calling you angel, and his warm body pinning you down
  • The most random stuff can prompt a tickle attack — anything from a teasing comment, an escalated pillow attack, or seeing you looking a bit sad
  • He laughs just as much as you do because your smile and laughter just has that effect on him
  • Obviously he’ll stop if you tell him to or start swatting at his arms hard enough. He’ll lean back with smirk, nuzzling the top of your head as a little apology for annoying you
  • Faust does her best to join in on the fun, sometimes pretending to “protect” you or Asra from the other
  • Of course Asra will apologize profusely if he accidently hurts you and probably be a little embarrassed that his playing around got you hurt. If you have long hair, he’ll help brush it out if it got a little tangled :)
  • He doesn’t do tickle attacks too often, mainly because he wouldn’t want you to be wary of cuddle time (which Asra positively lives for) turning into tickle time
  • And a highly suggest pinning him down for revenge because he has the cutest laugh that his this slight edge/rasp to it that’s just *chef’s kiss*

-Portia Devorak-

  • Considering that she has Julian as older brother, Portia is well versed in the arts of surprise tickle attacks. This woman has literal strategies. Strategies. That’s what you’re up against here
  • She has small, wiggly hands that you just can’t escape, so the sooner you accept your fate, the better
  • This is pure, wicked mischief. It doesn’t matter if you’re bigger and stronger than Muriel, Portia will find a way to tickle you even if she has to launch herself at you in a tackle
  • She. Has. No. Fear.
  • And she just likes to see you laughing and smiling :) she could never tire of your laughter
  • The best way to get out of a tickle attack is to make some sort of bargain with her — offer her a dozen kisses, let her be the big spoon, let her cuddle with you while you work on your magic, etc. If it involves sweets or physical affection 10/10 it’ll work
  • Tickle wars often turn into a whole game between you, to the point that you’ve literally run through the gardens trying to evade her, both of you laughing and playfully screeching like kids. You’ll dive between the various bushes, thinking you’ve found a hiding place… only to have Portia pop her head in next to you saying, “Gotchya!”
  • And then prepare to laugh until your stomach hurts good luck
  • Sometimes you decide to combine your tickle powers against others and wreak havoc that way muahahahaha Julian is a frequent victim, poor doctor :(

thearcanawriting:

image

A=Aftercare - What they do/act like after sex.

Julian is usually the one that needs aftercare after sex. Vocal reassurance, sweet whispers, and close contact are things that he loves. Make sure you praise him, he loves hearing praise. Pepper him with kisses and clean him off, if need be. Tell him how handsome he is and he’s absolutely satisfied. 

B=Bondage - Are they into BDSM, and how far they’ll go if they have a green light.

Julian likes bondage, as long as it’s with light restraints. Anything too tight reminds him of some bad times in his life. He doesn’t mind tying you up as long as he knows that you enjoy it and that you have a safe word. He always wants to make sure you’re comfortable. 

C=Cum - pretty self-explanatory.

It’s pretty salty, you can tell from the taste that he doesn’t eat very well. Which you usually end up scolding him for, although he never really listens. He likes to cum on your stomach, he won’t tell you why but you always let him. 

D=Dom - Are they dominant, submissive, a switch?

Julian is a bottom, through and through, and if he tries to tell anyone otherwise, he’s lying. He loves when you control him and assert yourself over him. Shame him, tell him he’s a bad boy and he is putty in your hands.

E=Edgeplay - Similar to ‘Kinks’ except it’s a lot riskier than usual kinks (knifeplay, breathplay, etc.).

Fire play! Burn him if you must. Use your magic to summon the flames and have them spread across his body. He loves it. He loves it when you act bossy with him while doing it, but he also loves tender and gentle fireplay. 

F=Fantasy - A fantasy of theirs (ex: a teacher/student fantasy).

Listen, he knows that it’s expected and corny but he LOVES playing doctor with you. Oh no, you’re sick and the only way to cure you is an amazing orgasm?? Doctor Julian is here for the job.

G=Got Caught - How they react when they get caught having sex.

He’s REALLY flustered if you get caught, would probably clear his through a couple of times and look away before quickly slinking away and getting dressed. He will try to NEVER speak of this again, but if whoever saw you brings it up, he will become a flustered mess again.

H=Hot Spots - A place that drives them crazy when stimulated (EX: neck).

Julian loves when you touch his back. Leave burns, scratch marks, hickeys, whatever you wish. He’s also a big sucker for massages, so that’s an easy way to convince him to do something you want him to do.

I=Intimacy - How romantic they are, or can be, before, during, or after sex.

Julian tries his best to be romantic but he is a VERY awkward man. Tries to set up romantic dates, but they usually end up going wrong someway or another, not that you mind. It’s the thought that counts. It usually ends up with the two of you tossing in the bed at the end of the night anyway.

J=Journey - Their ideal way of leading up to sex.

If anything gets Julian going it’s simply you. Especially if you start praising him, tell him how handsome he is while he’s doing something, or simply how attracted to him you are. Run your fingernails against his bare skin and the two of you are already stripping.

K=Kinks - I’ll list a few of their kinks, be they the normalized ones or kinkier kinks.

Praise Kink, he’s also really into pain. It doesn’t matter how you hurt him, but doing so always gets him off. 

L=Location -  Where they like to have sex, do they like risky locations, etc.

Julian prefers to be intimate in an area where you can guarantee you won’t be interrupted, but that doesn’t always mean that’s where it happens. Sometimes the mood comes and you just gotta do it where you are. 

M=Masturbation - How they are when they get themselves off, what they get themselves off to.

Always tries to put on a show if you’re watching, but usually ends up getting flustered, especially if you start touching yourself too. Praise him. Tell him he looks so hot you couldn’t help but start touching yourself too.
If he’s alone, he’s usually a bit whiny, thinking about you. Sometimes cries out your name, but is usually too embarrassed someone will hear him.

N=NO - A few things that they will absolutely, under no circumstances, ever do.

No choking! I think that speaks pretty well for itself, he literally DIED by hanging–not that he didn’t come back, thankfully. It’s not a good memory, regardless.

O=On’s - Their top turn on’s that they have (things that’ll get them super horny super quickly).

I cannot stress this enough PRAISE HIM. He absolutely loves to hear that he’s doing a good job. 

P=Position -  Their favorite position to have sex in.

Anything that lets him be on the bottom! Really loves doggy style, he enjoys feeling vulnerable to you.

Q=Quickie - Do they like it, do they prefer quickies over actual sex, etc.

Not much into quickies likes doing a thorough job and finishing. He likes to make sure you both get the best out of that and you can’t always do that quickly.

R=Rough - How rough they are, or get, when in bed.

Julian LOVES when you get rough with him but is very hesitant to be rough with you. He will ask you SO MANY times if you’re okay and if this is what you really want. He’s a kinky asshole but he cares about you so much.

S=Stamina - How long they can go before they tap out.

Julian has a fair amount of stamina, he tends to have more when he’s drunk. If you guys are both sleepy he usually won’t last very long, you two have fallen asleep going at it before.

T=Toys - Do use toys, do they own them, what kind, etc.

Julian himself doesn’t have any toys, but when you introduce him to some and what they can do he is certainly intrigued. He’s really open to trying anything that you want to.

U=Unfair - How much they tease you, how they tease you, etc.

Julian isn’t very good at teasing you, though he does try. He usually ends up getting too flustered to pull it off correctly. He LOVES when you tease him, though. 

V=Volume - How loud they get when having sex, things they might say, etc.

Julian is super loud. He groans and moans a lot, and the occasional hissing if something feels really nice. Isn’t shy about making a lot of noise, either.

W=Wild Card - a random letter for the character of your choice.

I did all the letters so, here’s a little headcanon–Julian loves when you bite him, he loves wearing the hickeys you give him with great pride.

X=X-Ray - How they look with their clothes off.

Julian is a tall guy, but he’s also a bit lanky. His legs and arms both seem too long and not exactly proportional. He’s got a small bit of a gut due to all the drinking he does, but it’s not too bad. 

Y=Yearning - How often they need to have sex.

He can go for a couple of days without it. He doesn’t think about it all that much unless you start teasing him and getting him going.

Z=ZZZ - How quickly they fall asleep after having sex.

Julian is always tired–he won’t always admit that, though. If you guys are somewhere comfy, it’s very easy for him to fall asleep after sex. Listening to your heartbeat with your bodies tangled together is like a lullaby for him.

Modern! NSFW Halloween Headcanons (Asra, Julian, Lucio)

Other 3 of the Main 6 coming soon!

(MC’s gender is not specified, but they are penetrated)


Asra:

-“You look incredible, MC.”

-Things start to heat up on the couch. He feels MC lean into his side and he’s ready pretty much immediately.

-Lots of kisses, starting with the lips, moving down to MC’s neck, pulling aside a piece of their costume to kiss at their collarbone

-There’s an 80% possibility that he won’t even have enough sense to leave the couch. Instead, Asra will press MC to the arm of it and trail more kisses down their body as the costumes come off

-So many fervent whispers of “I love you, MC. I love you.”

-Lingers in the taste and the sensation of kissing MC’s thighs, hips, and stomach

-If MC’s costume involves anything with high stockings or socks, he’ll make sure to pull them down nice and slow.

-Asra loves to praise MC during sex. Loving mumbly words whispered into their ear or against their neck. Careful, hot ghosts of kisses chasing the words.

-When they finally get down to it, he does everything so, so slowly. My god, this man lives for every moment of the sensation, and he loves to prolong it.

-Obviously his tendency to be a service top holds true, here. Anything MC wants, he’ll be happy to oblige.

-Finishes with his face buried in MC’s neck, spilling inside because he craves the closeness and the intimacy

-Lots of snuggling afterwards, probably after a warm fall-scented bath.

Julian:

-It’s very likely that after the spooks at the haunted house, Julian and MC end up making out in a back room or an alleyway somewhere.

-Ilya’s still shaking a little from being a cute frightened bean, even though he’s trying to hide it

-But kisses immediately quell whatever fears he had, the feeling of MC sucking hickeys into his pale neck making him moan out loud

-MC definitely has to tell him to be quiet. Is he quiet? No, he never is. And so the two of them definitely end up caught by someone, driving them to go home and continue this bout of fun

-He wants everything and anything right here and now, and he’s so eager to please it’s adorable

-Puts on his big pleading eyes as he slides down in between MC’s legs

-“Please MC, I wanna make you feel good. I need to.”

-Halloween’s a special night that’s got him all riled up, and the thespian in him can’t resist doing it in costume

-His wonderfully elegant hands make short work of both outfits before sliding shaky fingers over MC’s bare skin

-Loves to be ridden, and this night is absolutely no exception. If MC pins his hands above his head he’ll finish in no time

-Tries so so hard not to buck his hips up, he wants to be good for MC but it isn’t easy

-A good boy so he’ll finish wherever MC wants him to. But…not until they let him.

-Afterwards he’ll relish in every little kiss he gives and gets, falling asleep settled into the warmth of the sheets with MC.

Lucio:

-Compliment his costume? Compliment his costume.

-Compliment his makeup?

C o m p l i m e n t. H i s. M a k e u p.

-In all seriousness, he’ll want MC to model their costume for him when the two are alone.

-After asking MC for a couple twirls he’ll call them over to his lap and lean his head back for a barrage of kisses

-Despite his braggart demeanor, the feeling of MC’s warm lips on his neck will elicit a few moans from his throat

-If MC cards their hand through his golden locks he’ll flutter his eyes closed and moan louder

-Nip his neck (WHAT no I said absolutely nothing of the sort) and he turns into a mess

-Pillow Princess Lucio’s gonna be so content with MC unbuckling his pants and sinking down on him

-His golden claw holds onto MC’s waist like it’s the last thing left in the world

-Happy to finish wherever, because it all just feels too good

-Orders in champagne and fresh fruit for after, making sure you’re snug and still demanding kisses.

Hey Arcana Fans!!!

I will do…

  • Main Six x MC
  • Courtiers x MC
  • Headcanons
  • Imagines
  • I’ll even write about your MC specifically if you tell me a bit about them!

I will not do…

  • Character x Character

For now, that’s all I can really think of. This will be updated if I think of anything else!! Thank you so much!!

Asra gets really chapped lips in wintertime, like you couldn’t dehydrate them more if you had the opportunity, and refuses to wear chapstick until their lips are bleeding and then decides they might need it

Asra was the one who first heard of covid in the area and quickly told Nadia and spread the info around, Nadia was the first to go in public wearing a mask and suddenly it became all the rage

Julian has really bad allergies and won’t go outside for weeks at a time when it’s really blooming out for fear of him sneezing and swelling up within 5 minutes

Lucio:*is insulted*

Lucio: how dare you, I’m a royal!

Nadia: yes, A royal pain.

Julian: oh snap! *snaps in z formation*

slipperyboii:

Imagine Julian proposing to you

A/N : this happens on the boat after the upright ending ❤

Requested by @stupidarcana-apprentice I just changed it a tiiiiny bit, tell me if you still like it ❤

Warnings : idk, fluff and language?? If you follow my other fic blog @yeahbutimagine you know I like to talk with foul language, also prepare for lots of A/N in the fic itself ~ also I write a lot to set the context, but if you’re used to my fics, you already know that

Word count : 2000

.

You took a deep breath, enjoying the salty breeze surrounding you. Freedom. Was that how it felt like? For as long as you could remember, you were never free. First it was the not knowing that hurt you, then the knowledge of what had happened, and finally the issues and hardships you and your friends had to endure. Was it really over? Sometimes you felt like in a dream. Thinking you’d wake up and you’d be alone again, or that the Devil would still be part of your lives. But it was really over, and you allowed yourself to exhale loudly, pushing those thoughts to the back of your mind. 

You turned to the side, watching the one you called yours in a heated discussion with the captain of the ship, your beloved Mazelinka. Although it could seem like Julian and her were arguing, they were just discussing the things they would like to do or see when you would arrive to Nevivon, in a few hours. They argued whether you would start by the orphanage and salute the grandmas, or begin by visiting th leech market. Portia joined, telling she’d rather buy some salts first. You laughed and joined the conversation.

Julian extended his hand, inviting you to sit close to him, which you did (A/N : obvi), smiling at him, while he lowered his arm to rest on your shoulders, and he asked you what you would like to do first. Since you had never been to Nevivon, or at least had no memories of having actually gone there, you didn’t really mind what you’d all do first, and you knew you’d have time to do everything that was on the list. And it was quite a long list. But you paid no mind to that, being with your closed ones was what really mattered. 

And speaking of close, Julian had never looked so happy. And that was enough to make you fall once more for him. He looked healthy and as excited as a child, which made you euphoric. You loved to see him that way. As you were deep in thought, you didn’t notice him suddenly standing, climbing the nearby ropes and looking afar,

“Land!” he yelled, “I see Nevivon!”  

You rose to your feet, and looked at where he was pointing. Indeed, you could see land, and without warning nor reason, you started to feel anxious. And it showed.

Y/N,” he called, hurrying to your side, “is something wrong?” he started feelng your forehead, for any sign of sickness or discomfort, “you look pale, my love, you should sit” he took your hand, acting like a worried mother, and sat with you on the nearby bench “Do you want to drink? or eat? I can get you anything, darling”

“I’m fine Julian, really” you laughed, putting your hand on his chest, “there’s nothing wrong with me don’t worry” you smiled, pushing the anxiety away, and hoping your smile would be enough to convince him. “just a headache, perhaps?”

Y/N,” he looked at you with a stern face, “I know you. What’s wrong? If you don’t want to come it’s okay, we could-”

“No, no, no, I’m fine. I’m just… anxious? If that makes sense?” you tried to find your words, “it’s just… it’s the place where you grew up, it’s a major part of you, and I don’t know… I mean, I don’t know anything about it or the people, and I should know, because it’s important to you, but I’m scared that-”

He closed the distance and kissed you mid-sentence, to shush you. It worked. He wrapped his arms around you and laid his head on yours. 

“They will love you” he simply murmured, and you looked at him, puzzled, “how do I know for sure? well, first of all,” he kissed the back of your hand, “because they love me, and you know how bad I can get” he laughed,”and I love you. The rest has no importance. They want me to be happy and you’re my happiness. They can only love you, so they will, trust me.” he pecked your lips and rose with you, leading you to the cabin, so you could get your stuff ready.

Nevivon was… lively. People everywhere, merchants, children running, … It reminded you a lot of Vesuvia, which reassured you. You went inside a few shops, visited some people, and Julian was always with you, either by offering his arm to you or pressing his hand on the small of your back. Portia was walking ahead with Mazelinka and you felt better. You knew everything would be alright. 

While you walked, you asked Julian a few questions about his childhood, about the people who raised him and Portia, and he would always give you the long answer, loving the interest you offered him.

You arrived at the orphanage, where everyone was waiting for you. The grandmas and the children ran to greet Mazelinka, Portia and Julian, hugging them and asking them about their lives. You stayed close for a moment, answering their questions about you and Julian, how you met, what you were to him, and some more, but after a short while, and a conversation that was no longer directed at you, nor even about people you knew,  you noticed some of the kids looking at you, and wanting to play. You excused yourself and followed them outside, smiling at Julian before leaving.

You took a deep breath. Being outside was better. And you felt more comfortable playing with the children rather than siting inside and feeling a teeny tiny bit judged. (A/N: I don’t know for you guys, but I hate the feeling when you’re at some old aunt’s place and she has her friends around and they all ask questions and silently judge you

You sat on the ground, outside, and started to show a few magic tricks to the kids, who were amazed by what you did. You made some flowers sprout from the ground, which made them scream in awe. They told you about their lives and asked you about yours. Soon, the minutes became hours and you realized that time had passed when the sun started to get low. 

The children went back inside and you noticed Julian, arms crossed and leaning on the wall, smiling at you.

“What?” you smiled back, walking towards him, “what’s making you smile?” you asked, pushing a strand of hair away from his eye,

“You” he laid his arms on your shoulders, hands playing with your hair, “you looked like you were enjoying yourself” 

“I was,” you smiled, “the kids. They’re adorable. And you? How does it feel to be home?” you asked

“Home is wherever you are, my love” he kissed you quickly, “making you laugh.

“That one was quite easy”, you giggled, “but really, are you happy?”

“I couldn’t be happier, you know, it’s like… Like time had stopped and I was back to when I was a kid. Things didn’t change at all. It’s spectacular!”

You smiled at him again, glad to hear his words.

He took you by the hand and led you to the small house you were staying in, “and” he added, opening the door, “I was right”. you paused, looking puzzled, while he closed th door behind you “they like you.”

“Thanks, but how can they like me, they don’t know me? I, I mean, they don’t know me the way you or Portia do, what can they possibly like about me?” you half asked, leaning on the wall.

“I told you. They want us to be happy, and apparently”, he flung his arms wide, almost knocking a chair, “I look radiant” he said, gesturing down at himself “What do you think?”

“You’re not so bad” you laughed, walking to him and pressing your hands on his chest and kissing him. He cupped your cheeks and responded to the kiss, intensifying by pushing your back to the wall and reducing the space between your bodies. You ran your fingers over his collarbones and he backed a little to look at you, his gaze bright with adoration.

“I love you” he whispered only for you to hear, “so much”

“And I love you more”, you pecked his lips, “wanna get something to eat?” 

“Gladly”

~Time skip while y’all eat together because that’s what you do when you visit someone~

You spent a wonderful evening, laughing with everyone and eating delicious food with everyone. You didn’t count th hours and in fact, you were glad to have come to join everyone. They had been so nice to you that you felt guilty for your anxiety, for you had absolutely nothing to worry about. The grandmas had asked you lots of questions about Julian and you, even asking you if you were married, and laughing at Julian’s blush when he told them you weren’t. Mazelinka even tssked at the negative answer.

You all parted and you went back home with Julian, holding hands and sharing some stories about your lives and how you pictured your life together. You arrived home and as you began walking to the bedroom, you noticed he had stopped walking. You went back to him and sat on the kitchen counter.

“Is everything alright?” you asked

He came to you, both his legs between yours and kissed your forehead, “hmm” he nodded and buried his nose in your hair, while you linked your hands behind his back.

You stayed like this for what seemed like hours, until he broke the silence 

“You know,Y/N, I always thought love was a dead end for me, that I didn’t deserve any of this in the world, but every day that I spend, with you, no, every second is a gift. And… ahem… I know that it’s probably selfish but… When I’m with you I don’t want to share” he blushed, parting from you and looking for something in his back pocket. He went down on one knee and looked you in the eyes, “I’ve had this since we went on the boat but I didn’t know when or how to ask and… ah, shit, my hands are shaking, hold on, I ahem- I just know that-”

“Yes!” you smiled with tears in your eyes

“I- you don’t have to answer now- WHAT?” 

“Yes, Julian, a hundred times!” You jumped from the counter and hugged him directly tackling him on the ground, not even bothering standing up, kissing him on every inch of his face, “I love you so much”

“Oh, my love” he exhaled, “you have no idea how happy you make me, I adore you” he hugged you tighter, his breath leaving goosebumps on your skin. He put a hand on the nape of your neck and brought his lips to yours ever so swlowly, smiling in the kiss and humming softly, enjoying every single second, every movement between you. “I can’t wait to get married” he kissed you again, “Do you think we could ask Mazelinka to marry us on the way back?”
