Hi! Can I request some headcanons of reader giving comfort (or at least tried) to Damon Maitsu from P:EG after the events of the 1st Chapter?
I need to chill with the requests they're not going anywhere π
Damon Maitsu:
If you thought he was closed off before, you haven't seen the lengths he can go to
I think he would feel the strong urge to isolate himself but given his situation, he knows it's not the smartest so a lot of his actions are going to be conflicting
It's going to take him about for him to actually accept being comforted
It's only going to take him a bit because he hasn't processed yet and he has no clue what he wants
Literally no attempts you make will snap him out of it till he processes the situation fully
He'll literally just stare at you dully after every attempt till he gets his shit together
He'll actually get upset because he feels like he should be the one comforting you instead
He'll be a lot more talkative after just for your sake. He wants to make sure you're okay after so many failed attempts at trying to comfort him
I did say he doesn't initiate physical touch most of the time but this would be the exception
He would constantly have an arm around you or a hand on you
Mostly for his sake tbh. It's almost as if he wants to make sure that you're still with him
He'll also stick to you like white on rice. It's a strange sight to see but until the two of you are alright, that's how it's going to be
I don't think he'll want to talk about it much just because he knows that it'll eventually happen again and it'll just get worse (he's stubborn). Plus, if he thinks that talking about it will make YOU upset, there's no way in the world it's happening
He's just trying to figure everything out, and so are you. It's going to be strange but if that's what the two of you need to get through that, then so be it
"We're just exploring around the academy and checking up on everyone since.....that elephant brought us to a killing game...
By the way, how come Tian's not with you? You two are usually together almost everywhere..."
"Hello? Luciano? It's Mayari.... Oh! And Hazel's with me!"
-ππͺΌ and @ultimate-assistant
Oh, hey guys! What's up?
((OMG IM SO SORRY! π«’ππ I didn't realize that because my mind went blank!!
Also, I love the lore behind her signature!))
I already made some for Mayari, Cecile, Luciano, and Tian.

If you don't have any signature, please tell me. Same thing if you have any ideas on how you'd want it to be done, although I can't promise that I'd do it perfectly either way.
(NOTE: idk the link for Matteo's creator. So if you do, can you ask them about whether they have his signature or not and if it's okay if I could try make up one)
[ Surprised by her friend bursting into tears, Mayari panicked while her hair glowed into white and her eyes blue, thinking that she might've offended her on accident. But when Hazel said that her gift was perfect, she stopped and gave her a small smile, one of her eyes turning into glowing white. ]
".....I'm glad."
[ She gave Hazel a gentle hug, slowly making small circles on her back, and said the words that the assistant needed to hear. ]
"Happy Birthday, Hazel."
"Hi Hazel! It's Mayari. Your birthday's on the 20th, right? I made something for you..... I know it isn't much, but I wanted to give you something."
[ She hands you a jar filled with colored paper stars. ]
β β¦ Huh, Miβ¦ I mean, Mayari, what do youβ¦? β
[ She eyes the jar and looks up at Mayari, now fully processing the words spoken. ] β β¦ Ohβ¦ Itβs my birthday todayβ¦ My birthdayβ¦ todayβ¦? β β β¦ The 20thβ¦ April 20thβ¦ Thatβs rightβ¦ β
[ They look down at the ground slightly. ]
β My apologies, I appear to have forgottenβ¦ β [ She gingerly takes the paper-star filled jar from Mayari, holding it in her hands as if itβd be taken away if she ever let go or let her eyes off of it for even a moment. ] [ Itβd beenβ¦ too long, truly, too long since sheβd remembered a birthday of hers. How long had it beenβ¦? Three yearsβ¦? Four yearsβ¦? It was a miserable haze of time sheβd failed to recollect, and she let her focus back on the gift. ]
[ Howβ¦ how long had Mayari spent making all of these stars, just for her birthday? They were only mimics of stars, much like her hairclips, never truly reminiscent of the lights above. Butβ¦ they had love and care crafted into them. How long had it been since sheβs felt that? ]
[ Now sheβs holding space in her hands, the stars in her eyes, and itβs hers, all hers, nobody elseβs but hers. Her love, and itβs all for her to keep, never to give away. ] [ Theyβd always thought they could never touch the stars, after all the sacrifice. Ever since the tiger convinced her to stay. Even with all of her dreamsβ¦ They were always nothing more than dreams. Butβ¦ maybe, even if she couldnβt fully changeβ¦ Maybe she could touch the stars, she could at least try to stay strong. ]
[ She didnβt realize it, but she was crying. Tears fell from her eyes and clouded her vision, but she didnβt wipe it away and hideβ¦ She just stayed like that, a small smile creeping up on her face. ] [ Even with all the money she could use, all the money she could buy gifts and food and hell, even businesses withβ¦ She was swarmed with a feeling she couldnβt buy before. ]
[ Happiness. ] β β¦ No, no, Mayari. This isβ¦ this is enough. This is more than enough. Thank youβ¦ thank you so, so much. Iβ¦ I donβt know howβ¦ How I can reβ¦ β [ She sniffs, voice becoming high-pitched and wavering. ] β β¦ I donβt know how I can repay you. This isβ¦ Perfect. β
β β¦Itβs perfect. Thank youβ¦. β
ππͺΌ - "Woah..... It really does! Thank you so much, Ozzie!"
*Amazed by his handwriting, Mayari's hair and eyes glowed out of happiness and she bowed down in gratitude*
I already made some for Mayari, Cecile, Luciano, and Tian.

(The two met up after classes, keeping up the conversation from earlier.)
ππͺΌ - It was no problem at all! I'm just sorry that I left out some answers ambiguous..... it doesn't seem professional of me to do so, does it? By the way, I know I told you my name, but you haven't introduced yourself back then.
πΌ - W-wait! Miss Jouphiet!
*Allie runs off without looking back with a flushed face. The interviewer sighed in defeat for being unable to get her last answer before ending the interview but immediately perked up upon meeting another person, who was on her way to the academy. The interviewer decided to walk up to the girl and start a new interview.*
πΌ - Excuse me!
??? - Yes?
*The girl turned around, and the interviewer had a pretty good look at the girl's appearance. Brown haired in a jellyfish haircut and brown eyes, has glasses with rose gold chains, wearing a black and blue tank top and arm sleeves with a certain pattern.*
??? - Is there something you need? I need to head to class at the academy.
*The interviewer snapped out of their thoughts, realizing they had been staring at her for a while.*
πΌ - O-oh! Sorry! Are you a student of Eden's Garden Academy?
??? - Yes, why?
πΌ - Then, you must also be an Ultimate, yes??
*The interviewer excitedly moved closer to the girl, flustering her. They could've sworn they saw a white and blue glow in her eyes and hair for a split second, it must've been the sunlight hitting their eyes.*
??? - H-huh??? Yes, that's right...
πΌ - Then, can I interview you? I promise it'll be quick since you have classes to attend!
??? - Alright, I don't mind. Though, I can't promise I'd bring interesting answers....
πΌ - That's okay, you can answer them however you like!
*The interviewer cleared their throat.*
πΌ - *Ahem* Alright, let's start! First question: What is your name?
ππͺΌ - Mayari SadΓ©lle
πΌ - That's a beautiful name!
ππͺΌ - Oh, thank you.
πΌ - Ok, next question! What is your Ultimate talent?
ππͺΌ - Ah..... I'm sorry, but I'm not sure I can answer this.
πΌ - Oh? Why is that?
ππͺΌ - You've heard of some students who have been receiving their titles that are not known to the public eye, right?
πΌ - Yes, I also heard that one of the reasons that it's been like this because their talents are extremely dangerous, both in name and context.
ππͺΌ - Exactly, and let's just say....... I'm one of those people. If I were to say my talent, it wouldn't be appropriate for an interview, wouldn't it?
πΌ - I guess so..... Alright, we'll skip the question! Time is of essence, after all! What's it like being a student of this academy and what are you learning?
ππͺΌ - Well, there's never a dull moment here, I can tell you that. As for what I'm learning....... a bit of everything, I guess?
πΌ - Could you clarify that part?
ππͺΌ - I'm basically someone who'd help out anyone with any kind of Ultimate talent by letting them test onto me in order for them to have satisfactory results, that's what I mean by "learning a bit of everything".
πΌ - That must be physically and mentally tiring if that's the case.
ππͺΌ - Yeah, but it's ok. I'm used to it.
πΌ - Ok..... Any classmates in particular you've taken a bit of liking to?
ππͺΌ - Romantically or platonically?
πΌ - Both!
ππͺΌ - Ok, well.....There's Elsiya, the Ultimate Priestess and Shahin Nareeman, the Ultimate Falconer. They're my best friends. There's also Cecile Thuy, the Ultimate Promoter. I see her as my older sister figure. I think of Luciano Tubig, the Ultimate Deckhand, as a distant cousin figure, since we both came from the Philippines. They are the people I get along the most. As for the romantically part.......well, there is one.
πΌ - Ohhhh~? Pray tell, pray tell! I'll cut this part out from the interview if this is too embarrassing for you to explain. Treat this as a question from a friend.
ππͺΌ - A-alright, I'll keep your word on that....
*Mayari's face became slightly red, and the glow coming from her hair and eyes from earlier reappeared. But this time, it was slightly more evident. Her eyes averted to the side as she took a deep breath before explaining.*
ππͺΌ - I..... have a certain interest in Damon Maitsu, the Ultimate Debator. I can't exactly pinpoint this as a "crush" yet because I doubt he acknowledges the fact that I exist, I see him as a person who's in the league higher than I could ever reach, and I don't even understand why do I have these sort of feelings in the first place or if this is just mistaken for "admiration".
*She takes another deep breath and fan herself a bit to calm down, causing the glow to dim.*
ππͺΌ - And even if I were to consult this to Toshiko, the Ultimate Matchmaker, or any of the people I mentioned before, I doubt that'd end in the good note.....
*The bell from the academy rings out, signaling the two that Mayari's late for class."
ππͺΌ - Ah! The bell! Was that the last question?
πΌ - O-oh! Yes, it was! You can run off now, thank you for your cooperation.
ππͺΌ - Right, thank you for the interview. That actually cleared my worries for a bit, bye then!
*Mayari waved her hand to the interviewer before sprinting off to the academy. She knew that she might be reprimanded for being late, but she didn't care at the moment and smiled to herself. Because it was as she said to the interviewer, talking about her life at the academy cleared a fragment of her worries.*
[ After the confession about her true Ultimate title and being the first person to leave from the group, Mayari went into the storage closet, closed the door, sat onto the floor and hugged her knees and buried her face in them. She was shaking, the white and blue glow in her hair and eyes came back, and..........
she began to cry.
Mayari tried to keep her sobs as quiet as possible. She never knew what to expect from everyone's reactions after her confession. Clearly, she thought everyone would react very badly to it and ostracize her from this very day. But no, that didn't happen. Sure, they would still ask questions about it, but it wasn't out of mockery, but out of concern. Pure, genuine concern. Even though she's aware that there are good, bad, and neutral people in this world, even though she's *fully* aware of this, even though she should be happy about being honest about one of her dark secrets......
So why, just why......
Why can't she stop crying? ]
( A bit of disclaimer in case anyone is confused by the plotline, this is connected to the Valentine's Day aftermath story where it's non KG-AU and the main cast and P:EG AQ cast are living normally as students. Here's the link for the Valentine's Day aftermath story for the full context )
"Well, that event was something.... hm? Another note?"
When Mayari walked into her dorm room to change her attire, she found another gift and note. From the closer inspection, the handwriting seems to be similar to the one she received the night she came back from the Valentine's Day party. And once again, there was no name of the sender.
"Hmm.... this certainly isn't Cherri's handwriting, unlike the one when she gave me the dress earlier.... Let's see what my secret gifter has to say this time....."
She muttred under her breath as she opened her letter, and it read:
"Mayari, I see that you're taking care of my gift from Valentine's Day well. Hope you don't mind having one for White Day. I saw you eyeing on this while we were all on an outing and getting shy about buying it, so I did it without you looking. I hate to admit, it was pricey..... but since I started this whole charade with you, I guess it's worth it as long as you like it. Speaking of, I've been seeing you being more open to others and starting to accept that you deserve to have good things in life. That doesn't mean that I'd stop gifting you secretly though, since you still haven't figured out who I am. Just thought I'd have to remind you in case you forgot. One more thing to tell you, I didn't say this in front of you before, but during the party at Valentine's Day..........you looked beautiful back then and that hasn't changed even after that, and even now."
As she finished reading the last sentence of the letter, her hair was already glowing in white, her eyes in white and blue separately, and her face completely flushed red. Folding back her letter and placed it onto her table next to the vase with the Lunar Tear in it, Mayari fanned her flushed face while trying to steady her hearbeat as her thoughts run frantically in her mind.
This has to be an ongoing prank! There's no way that there's someone who's thinking of me this way and started this whole thing with the secret gifts and letters, unless..... Do I have a stalker in this academy? Is it someone from the research facility who's trying to observe my actions or to take me back? Is it someone from the academy who wants to mess with me? Or is it.....do I actually have someone who genuinely feels this way and I'm just blind to see it yet?
After taking a couple of deep breaths, the glow in her hair and eyes began to dim down. Finally calm from the chaotic thoughts, she realized she hasn't opened the gifted box to confirm her suspicions. So Mayari untied the ribbon and opened the box......
......and found a silver hair ornament, resembling a flower with unique patterns. She got put off by this, not because of how beautiful it is up close, but because this is the very item that she eyed on but turned away from buying during one of the outings with her classmates, just as the letter told her.
Although her suspicions have been partially confirmed, Mayari feels like she need to investigate this......"predicament" even further. Which reminds her.....a certain event involving a musical is coming up soon, maybe she might put this new gift to use in that event. But until then, she needs to find clues around the academy about her secret gifter. She laid down on her bed, placed her hand onto her forehead, and sighed helplessly slight frustration.
"*sigh*......... I might have to need some help, I hope they're patient with this...."
[ Mayari walks back to Luciano and Hazel, her hair and eyes dimmed back to brown. ]
"But....is there even a reason why are the gates named that way?"
"Hello? Luciano? It's Mayari.... Oh! And Hazel's with me!"

Oh, hey guys! What's up?
