How Would The ROs React If Their MC Is A Very Affectionate Person And They Suddenly Stop? Because Someone
How would the ROs react if their MC is a very affectionate person and they suddenly stop? Because someone told them that they are very annoying
💛 Marcel
Marcel would try to handle this as delicately as possible when he first noticed it. He knows that relationships go through stages and wouldn't want you to feel like you were in the wrong for not being as affectionate as before, but he would miss it.
I could see him trying to test the waters with his affection, wanting to know what you were okay with, which would bring up a conversation about what you were comfortable with.
When he hears about what that person said, he is already shaking his head.
"Don't listen to them. They don't know our relationship or us. Let us decide what is best for us, and what is best for me is for you to be yourself." Marcel said. "I don't need anyone telling you how to feel or how to act when everything you do is perfect."
🧡 Margaret
Margaret would notice that since she is also a very affectionate person, she would try and do the same, thinking that something was wrong with her.
I think that you both would stew in angst and miscommunication until Marcel, Camila, or even your Aunt Zinnia made you confess what was going on before the relationship got too bad.
When Margaret hears what that horrible woman said, she won't be able to stop herself from giving you comfort with sweet touches and words of her own.
"I love you. This week has been miserable without your soothing touches." Margaret pouts. "Please don't stop."
❤️ Owen
Yeah, to hell with that. Owen isn't that big on public displays, but the moment you stopped, he would find that he missed it. Especially in private.
So Owen would grab you and hold you in his lap, asking you what was wrong the moment he saw your personality change.
When the redhead finds out the reason you are acting strange, he will shake his head in disgust.
"That bloody bastard. Ye listen here lass/lad/duck, I don't give a mules ass what that bastard said, I want anything you will offer me." He said it, his voice softening at the very end. "The kisses, tender words, and especially the love."
💙 Rosemary
She could sense something was wrong from a mile away. You would be able to feel her eyes on you as you hesitated to show any kind of affection.
Rosemary would swallow down the anxiety of you getting bored because you weren't like that.
You loved her.
Gently creasing your cheek. "Tell me, what's the matter? Why aren't you your usual affectionate self?"
When you finally tell her, Rosemary is at a loss for words; she wants to walk out that door and find whoever said those lies to you.
Rosemary shook her head, kissing you lightly. "I have spent my whole life wanting to feel someone's love and kindness, so don't you dare take that away from me, dollface/angel face/handsome because no good storyteller wants to stick their nose where it doesn't belong."
🩵 Tai
Would think you were mad at him for something and try to figure out what. How could you withhold his kisses?! What evil thing did he do?
In the end, when he couldn't figure it out, he had to ask you, and when he found out, he couldn't help but clench his fist, starting to pace.
"That absolute imbecile." Tai would curse them out for a few minutes before looking at you with all seriousness.
"Wipe those thoughts from your mind. They are all false. Your affection isn't unwanted. Not by me. Not ever."
💚 Zane
The minute this happens, Zane will know and not be happy. First off, Zane likes a routine, especially if you're affectionate for him (something he craves like a madman) goes away. He would not be able to stop himself from right out asking what was wrong.
When he hears why you aren't being affectionate to him, he will grip your chin. "Listen to me, little lion, the moment I stop craving your love, strike me down where I stand for that is not me."
The next thing you know, Zane is hunting this person down to give him peace of mind.

Happy Birthday, Margaret
૮₍ ˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶ ₎ა FLUFF Alphabet ૮꒰ ˶• ༝ •˶꒱ა
A | attention: How much attention do they want in the relationship?
So much! Well, at first, it would be a little too much for her with her shy nature, but as your relationship starts to bloom, she will want you to give her attention, although I think her main focus would be giving you attention.
B | Baby: Would they want a family?
She would love to have a baby with you. She always wanted to be a mother, however. Margaret would understand if that was something you didn't want. I do think her need to care for something would come out in other ways, maybe by helping at a youth center.
C | Cuddle: What do they like when they cuddle with you?
Margaret is a cuddle monster. Always want you in her arms, or the other way around.
D | dates: What are dates with them like? What do they like to do?
At the start, I could see her being nervous about every little detail, but as you both grow together, she puts together more simple date ideas that you both enjoy. Margaret would love baking together or going on a picnic (anything to do with food).
E | equal: do they prefer to be more in control or laid-back in the relationship?
Margaret is very much okay with you taking the lead in the relationship, but she will start to freak out if there is a bump in the road. She doesn't want to lose you.
F | fights: how do they handle fights?
She would be distraught and try to make it up to you any way she knew how. This is her first relationship, so she will need a little guidance and reassurance.
G | gratitude: how grateful are they to have you? What do they think your relationship is worth in comparison to other things in their life?
Margaret views your relationship as one of the most important things in her life. She wants to keep, nourish, and care for it in the same way as she would a plant. She is terrified of ending your relationship because she believes it is worth not only sacrificing for but also living for.
H | honesty: Honesty: Are they honest with you? How important is honesty to them?
Super important. Communication is key, and Margaret wants to be the one you talk to when you have a problem because she wants to be the one to fix it.
I | insight: how easy is it for them to read your mind and tell how you are feeling?
Oooo. This is hard. I don't think very well. Margaret second-guesses herself a lot, so you would have to be very clear, and while she might have an idea of how you are feeling, she is too scared to voice it.
J | Jealousy: What makes them jealous? What are they like when they’re jealous?
Margaret gets more insecure than jealous, and I think what would make her jealous is if you ignored her to focus on the other person, making her feel invisible.
K | kisses: What are their kisses like? who kissed who first? where do they like to kiss you?
I can't say who kisses who because that will be all up to revealed. But Margaret's kisses are soft and sweet; her favorite place to kiss is your cheek.
I | love language: what’s their favorite love language?
- Love to Perform: Physical Touch, Gift Giving, & Acts of Service
- Love to Receive: Words of Affirmation, Quality Time, and Physical Touch
M | marriage: Would they want to get married? if you were to get married, who would take your last name? What would the marriage be like?
She is 100 percent on board with marriage. Margaret has dreamed about a big wedding since she was a little girl, so she has high hopes for her wedding day. Although she would love to take your last name, if you want to take hers, that would be okay with her. As long as you both love each other, she is okay.
N | nicknames: would they use nicknames on you? Do they like it when you use nicknames for them?
It would be a blushing mess, but she was so happy. I could see her calling you French nicknames in private and public in a deep relationship.
O | open: how long does it take for them to open up to you for the first time?
A while? Well, not with the whole truth because of circumstances, but she does open up faster than the other ROs.
P | pda: thoughts on public displays of affection?
She is very much into G-rated public displays of affection, like holding your hand or giving you little pecks on the cheeks and lips, but she is very shy with more "raunchy" actions.
Q | Quality time: what do they like to do when they’re with you? How affectionate are they behind closed doors?
Baking. Margaret loves baking, even if she is not the best at it, but she would love to bake or cook with you; making something together makes her go all fuzzy inside. Margaret is very affectionate behind closed doors and will often just hug you for no reason.
R | romance: How romantic are they? What would they do to make their s/o happy? Cliché or rather creative?
I think Margaret is very much a cliche romantic, living in a period where wooing someone was very important in courting. Giving you flowers or breakfast in bed. However, she is a nervous wreck, and I could see her being very awkward, but her heart is in the right place.
S | sad: how would they cheer you up when you’re sad?
Margaret would just try to distract you with small gifts that mean something to her and you to try and lift your spirits.
T | thrill: would they do any new things to spice up your relationship?
Margaret is way too shy, so you would have to make the first move for anything more than vanilla, but she is willing to try in a deep relationship. Margaret is more comfortable with a certain routine that you two will share, making her feel safe and warm.
U | unwind :How do they like to unwind and relieve stress when with you?
Gardening. Margaret loves all her plant babies; something about watching them grow into beautiful blooms makes her feel relaxed. Sharing that with you will make her heart soar.
V | vaunt: What are they proud of? Do they like to show you off?
Margaret is not proud of a lot of things that her family has done in the past and doesn't feel that she deserves praise, but she can't help but blush when people compliment her baking, plants, and healing abilities.
W | wild card: random relationship headcanon!
Her favorite thing to do with you is Netflix and Cuddle, even buying all these soft blankets, which ends up with guys making a pillow fort one night and watching whatever you both could think of.
X | exes: How would they handle situations with your exes? What are they like with their exes?
Margaret doesn't have any exes, so she is quite new to how to handle them. My poor baby wouldn't know what to do if she met your ex; she would try to be nice to them and hide her jealous and insecure nature. Margaret is just standing there awkwardly when you are talking to them, watching you both as she nervously fidgeted.
Y | yearn: How will they cope when you’re away? What are they like when they reunite with you after being gone for so long?
Not very well. Once she is in love, she feels like she can't live without you. Margaret would try to distract herself with anything she could think of until she was with you again. And when she finally had you back in her arms, you would have to pry her out because she was going to hug you like a koala.
Z | zzz: What do they like about sleeping with you? What are some habits they have?
She doesn't have any habits besides wanting to cuddle. Little spoon all the way!
Possibly NFSM
So RO is just chilling, but they suddenly hear MC call "(RO)! Could you help with my dress/tunic?" And when they go to help, it does seem genuinely complicated to undo (like when we have zippers on the backs of dresses and can't pull it properly) but undoing the garment just reveals that MC is wearing nothing underneath 🤭
Mild 🔞 NSFW (Not Safe For Work)
I don't want to go into detail with this because I am thinking of writing a scene close to this or something like this, but here is a little taste....
💛 Marcel
Honestly Marcel is very respectful so he would just help Zip you up and give you a charming smile, not wanting to presume that you wanted to do anything intimate. Now if you pushed just a little more then Marcel will struggle for an hour to get that outfit off.
🧡 Margaret
Would run out of the room in a flustered mess.
❤️ Owen
That outfit is going to be on the floor in two seconds flat
💙 Rosemary
Would raise an eyebrow. "You want to play this game, dollface/angel face/handsome?"
🩵 Tai
Turn bright red. "What is the meaning of this?!" Then with a pout, he helps you take it off. 😝
💚 Zane
Sorry that the outfit is going to be torn up and on the ground 🤣🤣🤣
how would the RO's react if it was the MC who got amnesia and couldn't remember them/being in a relationship with them?
💛 Marcel
Marcel would fight tooth and nail for your relationship. Marcel would nag doctors (human and supernatural) till he found you a cure. He would tell you all about your dates and bring you pictures that you took together. Anything he could think of that would make you remember.
🧡 Margaret
Margaret would be like Marcel and would try to make you remember by telling you things about the places you visited together, how you made her feel, and anything she could think of.
❤️ Owen
Owen would try to stay away but couldn't. It all hurt too much, but at the same time, you were too much to ignore, so he would be with you. And try to build your relationship again, but I have not told you about your relationship before. He wants you to choose him out of love and not out of obligation.
💙 Rosemary
Rosemary couldn't do it. Trust me, she would try, but in the end, she would stay away. The way you reacted to her touch was like it was unfamiliar. The way you looked at her made you look at her like a stranger. No, she wasn't strong enough, so in the end, she would leave you, not only for her but because she felt like she was making you live in the past when you needed to focus on the future.
🩵 Tai
Tai would not stop working until he found you a cure. He wouldn't eat. He wouldn't sleep (not that he did that in the first place). He couldn't function without you, so he had to make you better. Make you remember.
💚 Zane
Whoever did this to you would be dead. He couldn't live without you, and whoever did this to you was going to pay. Nobody would be able to stop him. If you were to ever reclaim your memory, he wouldn't be the same person you remembered.
If your okay with spicy asks, How do you think the RO's would react to the MC giving them bedroom eyes from across a room, maybe at a meeting/ party?
Relationship Stage: Couple
Very Mild NSFW (just in case)
💛 Marcel
Marcel feels his eyes on him and turns to find you looking at him with that look. That look made him completely forget about the conversation he was having with the person in front of him.
How could he focus when you were looking at him like that?
With a smile, he politely exited and went over to you, kissing you ever so softly.
"Is there something you need?" Marcel asked, his voice light, even if his eyes were full of lust. The lust in his eyes darkened when you gave him a coy smile.
"No, can't I just look at my boyfriend?" You asked too innocently, and Marcel fought the urge to take you into his arms.
Marcel cursed a little in old Latin and softly held your hand, helping you stand.
"I...desire you," Marcel whispered in your ear, making you gasp. No coy remarks. Instead, it's just a blunt need. The silent question was in his eyes, and you answered by pulling him up the stairs into your bedroom.
🧡 Margaret
I don't think she would understand right away, but when she does, she is a blushing mess. She felt something inside flutter, and she felt a deep desire. Whoever she is talking to will see that her face is as red as a tomato, and she would have to leave the room out of embarrassment, not noticing that you were following her.
"Margaret!"
When her name was called, Margaret spun around to see you walking towards her, worry on your face.
"Are you okay?" Those were the first words out of your mouth when you stopped in front of her.
Margaret shook her head, and her hands went to rest on her cheeks; they were warm to the touch.
"Everything is fine. I just got a little overwhelmed." She said it meekly.
You frowned. "Margaret..." You sighed. "I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable-"
"You didn't!" Margaret's hand grabbed your own, making you look into Margaret's eyes.
Margaret felt herself shutter in want and looked down at the ground in embarrassment. "I'm not uncomfortable. I just..." Margaret's words trailed off.
You gave Margaret's hand a gentle squeeze in support. Margaret swallowed and looked into your eyes, not breaking the intensity.
"I just really wanted you."
❤️ Owen
He would stare with a raised eyebrow. Owen would let you know with his eyes exactly what was going to happen before walking over to you with all the confidence in the world. Owen's eyes roamed your figure as he helped you up and out of the chair.
"If we weren't in public, lass/duck/lad, I would carry you out here."
You felt your breath quicken as you stepped even closer to him. "What's stopping you?"
Owen tilted his head, seeming to think for a moment before grinning at you.
"Nothing." He whispered in your ear before he started to drag you out of the room.
You both made it to the door until you heard the sound of a throat clearing behind you.
"Ahem."
Owen and you turned to Aunt Zinnia, a hand on her hips and eyes dark. You could feel Owen sag beside you in defeat.
"Shit."
💙 Rosemary
People's eyes are usually on her every time she walks into the room. So what made this different? You. The minute Rosemary noticed that look on your face, she couldn't help but be pleased with herself. Your eyes were the ones that she wanted on you, and the need to be near you would be so strong as she swayed over to your side, a smirk on her face.
"Dollface/Angelface/Handsome if you keep looking at me like that, people might think you're not so well-behaved."
"Who said I was well-behaved?" You whispered close, and Rosemary just gave you a coy smile.
"Do I have to teach it to you?" Rosemary raised an eyebrow. "How can a lady think when you're looking at her like that?"
Rosemary didn't comment when your arms wrapped around her waist.
"How about we don't think for a while?" You said, a teasing tone in her ear, and Rosemary grinned.
🩵 Tai
All you would see was a blank stare before Tai would turn back to what he was doing. But on the inside, Tai would be having a mental battle to not drag you to the bedroom.
Did you know what you were doing to him?
All his thoughts had already consumed you, and now you were giving him this look?
Tai breathed in and out, knowing that you two would have a private moment alone sooner or later where he could properly have you with sweet words and tender touches.
Good things happen to those who wait.
💚 Zane
The moment Zane saw the look on your face, he felt himself grin from ear to ear. Desire was deep in his eyes as he gave you the same look right back.
Although he was hungrier, he was more animalistic, like a snake ready to swallow his prey.
No matter what Zane was doing, he was coming to you, a gasp escaping your lips when he kissed you.
Long and deep, full of promises and love that he never thought he would feel.
When you both came up for breath, you could feel eyes on you, and then Zane's lips were on your skin again, tender and then hungry, until your head hit the wall behind you in bliss.
"Do you think you can look at me like that and not have a consequence for your actions? " Zane whispered against your skin.
A shiver went down your spine, and Zane laughed. "It isn't a consequence, hm? It's more of a reward." Before you know it, Zane has picked you up from the floor, your legs around his waist.
"Isn't that right, little lion?"
NSFW
It's the cast's birthday! So the Mc just wraps themself up in ribbons, top it off with a cute bow and wait for their lover to come home!
How would the Ro's react to it?
NSFW ⚠️ Mild
💛 Marcel
Marcel hadn't thought you had anything planned, and while he still liked to remember his birthday, he never got to celebrate it. Now he had you, and that made Marcel feel like he was walking on air.
So for his birthday, he planned the most relaxing evening with you, a nice homemade meal with the help of Tai, a pint of ice cream for each of you, and a romantic comedy that Marcel had his eye on for a while.
So when he opened the door to find you lounging on the sofa with a smirk on your face, he almost dropped the bag he was holding.
"Well, hello, birthday boy."
Everything clicked into place, and Marcel melted into a puddle of sweet affection, awaiting arousal as he sat beside you, a smile so bright on his face.
"I didn't think you had anything planned." He said, his lips ghosting over your own, and you felt yourself shiver.
"It's your special day, Marcel."
Marcel shook his head and kissed you deeply, slowly leaving you breathless before whispering in your ear.
"Every day is special with you."
🧡 Margaret
Margaret loved birthdays. Each one when she was alive made her feel like she was the most special person in the room, and her parents made sure of that.
The presents were big.
The decorations hung perfectly.
The sweets that lined the table every year.
If only she knew that such a glamorous life would be the cause of her death.
Margaret still acknowledged her birthday, it was a time to share with the people you loved and cared for, but she couldn't find it in herself to have a big party.
No. All she wanted was you.
She craved your comfort and affection like a starving man for a hot meal.
Margaret practically ran up the stairs to your room, to see you. To feel your warmth on an emotionally confusing day only to be met with yourself tied In a pretty pink ribbon that did nothing to hide your naked form.
Margaret felt her back hit the closed door, and a smug smile crossed your face.
"Well, hello, birthday girl."
And Margaret was gone, anything that she was going to say left her mind as soon as she saw you.
"What are you doing?" Margaret squeaked out, and you laughed.
"I thought I would give you your present early. Do you like it?" You twirled around, and Margaret felt like she was going to faint.
Your girlfriend took a few more deep, long breaths before looking at you with such genuine love that it took you aback.
"I don't just like it." Margaret kissed you softly and tenderly. "I love it."
❤️ Owen
Owen didn't celebrate his birthday. Parties were for the rich, for the lucky when he was alive, and there wasn't much to celebrate anyway. Hell, if his father didn't complain about selling his favorite mule every year to feed the baby he was left with, then Owen would probably never know his birthday.
Although Owen could feel you had something planned, he didn't know what, but the looks he sent you made the wheels turn in his head. First, he wondered if it was a surprise party, but Margaret didn't give away anything, which wouldn't have been possible if she was given a secret.
Then there was Marcel, who had to go report back to his Lord, and Owen knew that the sappy bastard wouldn't miss a party for his friend for anything.
So when Owen opened the door to the bedroom to find you wearing nothing but a flimsy ribbon and a bow awkwardly on your hair, he wasn't that surprised, just giving you a look up and down.
"Like what you see, birthday boy?"
"Aye, Lass/Duck/Lad. I like this present very much." Owen said, closing the door behind him with his foot.
Your boyfriend played with the ribbons, his eyes hungry, and your body began to shake with anticipation.
"Ye didn't have to go all through this trouble just for me," Owen said with a quiet, gruff tone.
"Of course I did, Owen. You deserve to have a happy birthday.
Owen took the bow off your head. "Bloody hell, lass/Duck/lad I never felt happier than with you."
💙 Rosemary
Rosemary knew you were up to something. She could read that you had some sort of trick, and knowing that it was her birthday, she had a few ideas of what that could be.
Her family was poor, so birthdays were about spending time with family, talking, and sharing, Her parents always tried to make them special.
And while she didn't celebrate her birthday other than with an acknowledgment and a few gifts, she didn't find it that big of a deal.
That was until she walked into your bedroom to find you in such a seductive state.
Rosemary smirked as she played with the ribbon. "All tied up for me, handsome/angel face/dollface?"
You nodded. "I thought it would make your birthday special."
Rosemary kissed your forehead. "Oh, love, you already make my life special by just being with me, but if you need me to prove it to you." Rosemary gracefully threw the bow to the floor. "I will just have to unwrap you."
🩵 Tai
Tai sighed as he walked through the door, his eyes drooping when he saw you.
With just a ribbon and a ridiculous bow on your head, he became wide awake.
You snickered as your boyfriend's mouth was wide open, his eyes practically bulging out of his head.
"What are you doing?" His voice came out more like a croaked-out whisper than he meant for it to.
"Oh, I thought the birthday boy would like to unwrap his present."
Tai tried to keep his face blank, but he was failing miserably as his face was a bright red. Tai honestly completely forgot that it was his birthday, much less thought you even remembered. Between work and his hellish duties, it completely slipped his mind, and now you were sitting in his office with basically nothing except that shit-eating grin.
"No need to be so smug," Tai whispered as he closed the door behind him, locking it, then stepped closer to you.
"Me? Smug? How could I not be when I won." You said, purring in his ear, and Tai breathed in your sweet smell of baked goods.
Tai's eyes narrowed at your tone. "Won what?"
You wrapped his arms around Tai's neck and gave him a light kiss. "I got the workaholic doctor to take a night off."
Tai easily picked you up, which left you gasping in surprise. "Who says what I am going to do isn't work?"
You played with his tie as he placed you on the examination table, legs apart. "You think of this as a job?" Your tone was teasing.
Tai got on his knees, kissing your most sensitive skin and letting a moan escape you.
"You're worth all the time," Tai whispered against your skin.
💚 Zane
Zane hated his birthday. First off, he never knew what it was when he was growing up. His teacher thought the idea of birthdays was a childish thing. something that was a distraction.
Zane wished he hadn't dug deeper, but he had to. To find just a small piece of himself and of his old life, only to find out that the same day he was given life was on the date that his mother's ended.
Zane hated birthdays.
So the moment he woke up that morning, he was in an angry mood, as everyone could tell. Zane's crude jokes were lacking, so he couldn't blame you when you disappeared.
The blonde opened the bedroom door, hoping that you were back from wherever you went to find you naked and lying on the bed, creasing yourself.
The green ribbon tied around you, covering nothing and still hiding anything in a way that left Zane gripping the door knob.
"I know you don't like your birthday, so I thought I would make it a little better." Your voice came out shy and sheepish, almost like you didn't know if this was somehow crossing a boundary, even though it involved you naked in his bed, a boundary that didn't exist in Zane's book. You were always welcomed in his bed.
Zane breathed in and out. He had to remember to breathe, or he would hobble over.
You were trying to make him feel better.
You were trying to make him happy.
That was enough for Zane to tear the ribbon off with his teeth.
