-It had been a long, long time since Karlheinz had let anyone fuss over him in such a way, allowed himself to be cared for by another.
You’d already spent long minutes simply combing his hair, twisting it into some elaborate braid. Now, you were sitting in front of him, brushing pale red eyeshadow onto the skin above his eyes.
It felt strange, Karlheinz thought, to be so close to his partner without the slightest hint of lust. You’d spent so long touching him, and all that had come of it was a sense of relaxation, of peace.
He even had his eyes closed, trusting you near the soft skin.
Laughable, that the vampire king would allow such a thing. You moved on to a tube of dark, burgundy lipstick, cupping his chin with one gentle hand.
Your expression was one of concentration, of care, and for all Karlheinz had thought himself to be incapable of tender feelings like yours, the emotion choking him felt painfully like what you described as love.
-The main way he shows affection is through sexual advances. He tends to see sex as love, and thus, when he wants affection from you, his first reaction is to offer more physical means of showing it. He doesn’t mind showing that he “loves” you or asking for your affection, it’s just admitting to genuine emotions that starts to become something that he can’t deal with.
Kanato:
-While he can be horribly attention-seeking, he doesn’t like admitting that he needs you in any way.. Thus, you’ll often get screamed at for things that you weren’t made aware he wanted, and have to deal with tears when he doesn’t get his way. Eventually, if you press the right buttons, he’ll get to the point where he can be a little sweeter, but he never ceases to be demanding.
Ruki:
-He’s typically the sort to be more withdrawn when it comes to affection, and will seek yours in subtle, roundabout ways that end in you feeling like you were the one who wanted it in the first place. Emotional vulnerability is hard for him, and while he can be sweet, it takes a while before he’s willing to open up to you enough to actively show that he wants attention.
Yuuma:
-If he wants your attention, he’s perfectly willing to sling you over his shoulder and carry you wherever he wants. He can be a bit rough, but once he starts actually wanting affection from you, you’ll see a much sweeter side to him. However, he’ll always be the sort to bluntly ask for affection when he wants it, and not bother with mind games or more subtle methods.
Azusa:
-He’s very, very open about wanting your attention… just, unfortunately, he tends to confuse affection with pain. Asking you to hurt him (or trying to do the same to you) is his main way of seeking attention, and he’s horribly, horribly pushy about it. Azusa doesn’t exactly take no for an answer, and he’ll find some way of getting what he wants from you in the end.
Admin Mawile: This is the Azusa one!!! The one for Reiji is up next~ Thank you so much for the request!! 😀
“Please… I’ve been good… so, please…” On his knees, Azusa nuzzled at your hand, murmuring soft words against the skin.
You pointedly refused to look at him, staring straight at your laptop.
At first, you would have thought this would be cruel. Azusa was always so desperate for attention; denying him felt like one of the worst things you could do. You’d figured out by now that having to beg for your attention made it all the sweeter for him when he finally got what he wanted.
Refusing to hurt him affected him almost as much. Making Azusa beg for every bit of affection you gave him in a scene got him more worked up than anything else you’d tried. His desperation was downright cute.
Pressing little kisses against your fingers, Azusa’s pretty eyes slid shut. He looked beyond needy, cheeks flushed a lovely shade of pink.
“Please…” he whimpered again, as if asking again would help him any. Instead of giving him any attention, you yanked your hand away, ignoring the way Azusa scrabbled after it with shaking fingers.
A soft whine left his lips, and he leaned forward, half into your lap.
The hard floor had to be hurting his skinny knees. You knew he liked the pain, but he always looked so fragile. You didn’t like seeing Azusa hurt.
Glancing towards him for just a second, you took in the desperate look in his eyes, something so attached, so vulnerable that it almost hurts to see. A little smile twitched at his lips as soon as you met his eyes, some soft whisper of hope shining through. He thinks the wait is finally over.
You were intending to turn away again, but with him looking at you like that, you can’t imagine anyone who could manage to do it.
“Alright. Are you going to be good now?” you ask, setting your laptop aside and facing Azusa. That needy, devoted look falls over his face, the same always when he’s deep in the mindset of being yours.
“Yes… for you…” His speech is slower than usual, Azusa struggling to make the words come out while he’s so flustered.
“Hmmm… I don’t know if I believe you,” you say, tone teasing, and Azusa’s expression takes on an even more desperate look. He scoots forward, not caring how undignified he looks, and wraps his arms around your waist, burying his face in your stomach before you can stop him.
“I need you…” he mumbles, nuzzling at you softly. “I’ll do… anything…” The picture he makes is beyond precious, and you couldn’t bring yourself to go back to ignoring him even if you wanted to.
You run a hand through Azusa’s hair, caressing the soft strands.
“Okay, okay, you’ve earned it.” You let praise seep through into your tone. There’s no need to pretend to be cold, not now.
The noise Azusa makes can only be described as a whimper, skinny arms tightening around your midsection. You lean down, press a kiss onto the top of his head. He squeezes you like he’s afraid you’re going to pull away at any second, delighted that he’s finally getting attention.
You ease yourself down onto the floor and let him curl into your lap, pliant and needy and loving. This is exactly what he needs from you.

Admin Mawile: (・へ・) Considering that it’s pretty shameful in vampire culture to get that attached to someone… that might be tricky. However, the boys are all horribly love-starved, and for this ask, I’ll assume that you mean bonding to the reader, and that you’re already pretty close to the boys!
Shuu:
-He’s honestly something close to afraid of forming a bond with anyone, and it’ll take a lot of convincing to get him to open up. Once he gets attached, though, he falls almost painfully hard, and that’s all the more reason why he’s afraid to let anyone get that close to him, even someone like you.
Reiji:
-Attachments are below him, and there’s no way he’d ever need one… he says until it actually happens. Starved for attention as he is, it’s not hard at all for him to get attached to someone who treats him like he’s worth something. By that point, he’s pretty much doomed to be horribly, horribly attached.
Ayato:
-Once you start praising him and treating him like he’s good, it’s pretty much sealed. He falls hard and fast, and gets more and more needy when it comes to your attention and praise. It’s hard for his ego to admit it, but he really needs the kind of affection that a real bond entails.
Kanato:
-He’s so desperate for proper attention that he’s starting to bond to you almost before you can suggest it. You’re the only person who’s ever tried to take care of him, and that goes a long way in getting close to him, even if he will yell at you and deny any kind of attachment to a “mere human”.
Laito:
-He’s beyond hesitant to form a bond with anyone who could hurt him by getting too close, but at the same time, he’s emotionally fragile enough that it’s not that hard to have him falling. He winds up almost dangerously attached to you, once you start trying to encourage him to bond.
Subaru:
-Do you… really want someone like him to be that close to you? It’s hard for him to imagine feeling that wanted, and by the time you get past his more violent nature, it’s not too hard for him to bond to you. You’re pretty much the first person who’s tried to get so close to him, after all.
-”Um, th-these are for you…” Your voice was soft, nervous.
Ruki schooled his expression to something neutral and welcoming. He had no need for a human’s affections, but playing along with the holiday was wise.
He thanked you, keeping his voice pleasant, accepting the chocolates with grace. There was no reason to turn you down and make himself look bad, and it never did hurt to let a bit of popularity circle around him.
Your smile lit up your face when he took the chocolates from your hand.
“P-Please enjoy them! They’re home-made just for you,” you said, something like hope in your tone, and Ruki made sure that he smiled.
-That’s one huge boost to his ego, and he’s going to be visibly smug about it for days. Of course, he’s sort of insufferable when he’s proud of himself, but if you’re close enough to him, you’ll probably be able to put up with it. No one has willingly gone to him for comfort in, well, ever, and it’s a totally new experience to feel like he’s the one that you can rely on, especially when you’re so sweet about it. Vampires don’t typically help each other without ulterior motives, but it doesn’t seem so bad when you’re so thankful to him for it.
-He’s never dealt with a scary movie before, and it’s probably going to get to him bad. He’s generally a pretty brave kid, but when something does scare him, it ends in him refusing to be alone in the dark for weeks. He sort of tries to act tough, but it’s pretty obvious that he’s seeking out comfort.
Reiji:
-It takes visible effort for him to admit that he’s afraid, and you’ll probably be able to tell that he’s shaken up long before he tells you. Distracting him with a book or just talking to him goes a long way, and it’s best to make sure that he doesn’t feel childish or like a nuisance for needing your attention.
Ayato:
-He hates admitting that he’s scared, and will play tough for as long as possible. When he finally does crack, it’ll probably be through something along the lines of sliding into your bed in the middle of the night and hiding there, stuffed rabbit in his arms even as he still tries to deny that he’s afraid.
Kanato:
-He doesn’t hesitate in the slightest to burst into tears and/or crawl into your lap. He probably is genuinely scared, but at the same time, it’s not like he’s going to miss a chance to get your attention and comfort. He’ll cry for longer than necessary, mostly in an attempt to get you to fuss over him.
Laito:
-He’s more likely to whine about it than anything, but he’ll only go straight to you for comfort if he’s really scared. At that point, you’ll basically have him glued to your waist, sniffling and having a small crying fit over how scary the movie was. There’s no way he’ll sleep by himself that night.
Subaru:
-He doesn’t like admitting that he’s afraid, but he will sit there with an absolutely petrified look on his face. You’ll have to turn off the movie pretty quickly and distract him, otherwise he’ll suffer in silence because he doesn’t want to bother you. And he considers needing comfort to be a bother.
-He’s as friendly as can be, trying to get Yui to play with him. For the most part, he acts like a happy, normal kid, and unless you tell Yui yourself, she’ll probably never guess that he’s something other than human.
Reiji:
-Aside from few rather rude comments about entertaining a human being beneath him, he treats Yui rather decently. He’s a bit bossy, but Yui is a rather compliant child, and doesn’t have any problems with following his lead.
Ayato:
-He instantly starts trying to show off, and if it earns him any praise from Yui, his efforts will more than double. He’s not used to have playmates other than his brothers, and he’s beyond excited to meet someone new.
Kanato:
-He’s a bit of a shy child, and clings to Teddy while eyeing Yui like she’s a threat for quite a while. Eventually, he’ll open up a bit, but it takes some encouragement for him to really accept a stranger as a friend.
Laito:
-He’s nothing but sweet and friendly to her, and while you can’t be sure how much of it is genuine, it’s pretty easy to tell that he’s enjoying him. He’s a social child at heart, and a friend as sweet as Yui is a very good thing for him.
Subaru:
-Honestly, he’s probably going to hide as soon as he sees her. He’s not used to interacting with other children in the slightest, and it takes him a long time for him to get used to the idea of having anything close to a friend.
Ruki:
-While a bit hesitant about trusting new people, he’s certainly not unfriendly, and opens up to Yui soon enough. He’s more likely to try to take the lead than to play like most children, and can get frustrated rather quickly.
Kou:
-He’s more than a little scared at first, but quickly warms up to Yui’s presence, becoming increasingly outgoing and happy as he realizes that she’ll do him no harm. Someone as gentle as Yui is probably a good match for him.
Yuuma:
-He’s beyond excited to have a new friend to play with, and might overwhelm Yui a bit by being a bit too excited. Fortunately, he gets along with other children well, and quickly learns that he has to be gentle with her.
Azusa:
-He’s basically the definition of sweet and harmless, and aside from potentially trying to get Yui to hurt him, is as lovable as can be. He can be rather slow, but Yui would never be the type to get mad at someone over that.
Carla:
-He acts stern and cold at first, but it’s mostly because he doesn’t know what to do. He’s never had another child equal to him before, and doesn’t really understand how he’s supposed to behave with a friend like Yui.
Shin:
-He can easily be too rough with Yui, and will have to be reminded that not everyone is as tough as him and his brother. He likes showing off and getting attention, and will quickly start to love having a friend to play with.
-Yuu is the actual sweetest boy to ever live. Whoever his partner would be, he’d be kind, dedicated, and loving, ready to do whatever he had to to reach out and make sure that his partner was loved. Considering his rather strict upbringing, he’d be quite the gentleman, and with a female partner, would be the picture of a chivalrous young man with a heart of gold.
-Generally, he’d prefer traditional, overly romantic dates like a carnival, romantic movie, or quiet walk together. He wants to make his partner happy, though, and if they had other preferences, it wouldn’t be hard for him to adapt. He’s not good with anything too rough, but for the most part, he wants to do what makes the person he loves feel like they’re treasured.
-Yuu has exceptional patience with his partner, and forgives remarkably easily. That’s not to say he’s a doormat, though, and he’s more than capable of standing up for himself should a relationship turn sour. Generally, though, he’s kind and accepting, and will do anything in his power to make his partner feel loved. He goes out of his way to please people close to him, and is extremely gentle and kind with the person that he treasures.
