This will never NOT be funny
(F/H) =favorite hobby.
I have the weirdest crush on this freaking duck and I don’t know why, so I’m taking out my confusion on this matter by making him yandere. Sorry that this is so long, boring and slow but I’m a sucker for slow burns and just dislike instant love. This went from just from headcannons to a freaking long ass story. I think I’ll make more on how the reader reacts when they find out just how mentally fucked Scrooge became.
Who knows, maybe I’ll write one for good ol’ Flinty. I have a feeling he’d just drop kick any rival he spots without much qualms about it. Meanwhile, Scrooge has a full on psychological derailment.
TW: manipulation, dependent behavior, stalking, and more.
______________
•To be honest, the likelyhood of Scrooge turning into a yandere might be higher than you think. He’s capable of self defense and can fight. He literally hunts treasure for a living. He also has a trillion dollar stockpile sitting around begging to be used for cover ups. His determination is pretty crazy, and he’s seen a lot on his adventures, things that would kind of instill a paranoia over time or an unhealthy me mentality. He can easily hide behind a professional front. Oh, and if he so wanted, he could travel and bury any evidence under a volcano. :)
•Since this is a yandere AU or, I’m gonna go with the idea that this is a what if the show had a TV-14 rating as well, so much darker themes can link and be explored.
•After pretty much a century of adventure, most of which includes violence and fighting through perils, human or not so, Scrooge is desensitized to quite a bit of violence and the dark and greedy side of the world. He’s seen the best of people and also the worst. This plays majorly in anyone who becomes a yandere; how exposed they are to people’s bad side or their own dark tendencies.
•Scrooge himself is not perfect and has demonstrated some traits of greediness, paranoia, and general distrustful behavior which is perfectly reasonable considering his work and the things he exposes himself too during it.
•Even though he loves adventure, there are a lot of bad things that happen on them that he seems to bottle up or keep to himself. Bottling up things causes a negative buildup in anyone, especially Scrooge because he expects that loving his life’s work will repair the same damage it sometimes does to him.
•Most likely, Scrooge developed an affinity with you through your similar drive for adventure. Maybe you worked for him in some way and he saw you defend someone or maybe you outsmarted one of his adversaries on an adventure he decided to bring you on. Regardless, you’ve caught his attention and this is only the beginning.
•A rival love interest’s biggest mistake is mistaking his age for a weakness. One minute he’s complaining about someone being on his lawn, the other they’re buried under it.
•Scrooge would probably connect most if he’s seen that you used to be in his shoes before, or at least a similar situation. Maybe you’re struggling financially but working your ass off to stabilize your income. As someone with the humble origins of a shoeshiner, Scrooge understands perfectly. Despite his incredible stockpile of wealth, he knows what’s it’s like to be at rock bottom.
•At first, you’re probably obviously very suprised with Scrooge’s involvement in your life. He’s from an entirely different world than yours after all, the top of the pyramid. Depending on your origins, you might react quite differently. Currently, you managed to find yourself stuck in a job you hated, working for someone you despised. It was a miserable, repetitive job that brought to your life a void of boredom.
•You craved adrenaline, even if it would get you killed, you finally figured that at least you’d go out with a spark. Putting on a smiling face, you accept a position at McDuck industries thinking that it was going to be another office job. By your luck, (or, later on, unfortunate luck), you managed to score a position that required you to be near Scrooge quite often.
•This gave both of you time to acquaint with eachother and the opportunity for him to see the potential in you as an adventurer instead of just an employee. Scrooge rarely lets people in beyond family, and is quite reserved so he himself questions what he sees in you at first, distrusting you even.
•When you are taken on your first adventure, you nearly boil over with eagerness. There’s a worry at first of the treachery involved but eventually, as you venture on more and more explorations, that fear dulls and you think the adrenaline as far more important than the possible loss of your life.
•Craving adrenaline is the main reason at first as to why you to want to stay around Scrooge. Despite his repeated attempts to brush or push you away, you find yourself excited every time you get to explore and finally get to see a world that you thought you’d never visit.
•Still, Scrooge remains cold and you can’t figure out why beyond the reason that he’s just a pessimistic old capitalist. As much as you want the adrenaline, you kinda can’t help but eventually enjoy his presence as well despite his temper and general grumpiness. Having been alone for over two decades without friends does that to someone. You needed warmth again.
•Maybe you grew attached to all the times you felt you were winning when you snubbed an artifact. Also, after collecting and sneaking a few gold coins into your own pocket, you were finally getting out of debt and on track to actually start your own business involving (F/H). You had the dream that you could travel where you wanted and finally find peace from your own mind and problems.
•Scrooge, despite his own warnings to himself not to persue, can’t help but offer you a job working for him. You made adventuring a million times better and were a great addition to the team, providing your own perspective or plan for the times he and his family would journey out. Oh, and he’d finally get the opportunity to be around you more. It was refreshing to see how optimistic you managed to remain despite your current financial predicament. (Which he contemplated solving.)
•Soon, however, Scrooge began to see that you were not as happy go lucky as you pretended to be, at least not when you weren’t on another treasure hunt. Something appeared to be gnawing at you. Deep down inside, it appeared to plague you and Scrooge began to worry for your well being and as a too curious for his own good duck, he needed to know what was going on. Especially when he had caught you quickly wiping away tears while you began to head home. What could possibly be causing you this pain?
•He had to find out and to his own realization, he had to know now. After all the times you saved and helped him, he wanted to make sure you were at least doing alright in return. He ordered Launchpad to tail you home and Launchpad, oh so very loyal, doesn’t question it much.
•Most yanderes might suffer from the constant delusion that their victims love them back or that they’re in the right but that’s not the case with Scrooge. There are times where he does try to justify himself, but this is mainly due to a fit of rage or to play innocent to you. Most of the time, he knows his actions are wrong and the burning temptation is causing a war. Very early on, he suppresses his curiosity and the growing feelings he has about you. Especially when they begin to boil into something far darker. Although he’s done this to nearly everyone, being cold to you and pushing you away seemed to be his way of trying to ensure your well being instead of his. He was finding it hard not to think about you sometimes.
•Soon enough though, he begins to grow inquisitive about your personal life as you open up to him and define yourself as a person instead of another blur. You were always quite genuine to just sit around and talk to him and despite denying it to himself, Scrooge was lonely, especially after the Spear of Selene. Sometimes you’d joke to him, sometimes you’d think philosophically. Sometimes it was just a mutual, comfortable silence.
•Scrooge might make excuses aloud to you, but doesn’t lie to himself. All the times he’s made you work later or given you an extra dose of paperwork was because he wanted to keep you around and in his line of sight. 12 hours without you was turning into a painful reminder of how isolated he was, even with Beakley around. You were a warmth, a cool, calm warmth.
• “I’ll eventually need to know her address later on in case she’s attacked by one of my adversaries anyways.” Nope, Scrooge wasn’t fooling himself with that sentiment. He knew he was invading your privacy, but he also knew that he was too nosy to care enough.
•The main problem is that although Scrooge knows a lot of what he’s doing isn’t right, he begins to care less and less. (Though this process takes quite a while.) You’re a valuable and positive part of his life, you had stayed when everyone else had abandoned him for his admittedly awful mistakes. He can’t lose another person he treasures. Especially not you. You’re becoming the shiniest yet. Losing you might mean losing himself in some sense.
•Scrooge tries to shake off the guilt but only finds that maybe it’s better to punish himself by feeling it. He’s currently following along your path to wherever your destination currently is.
•Of course, his iconic shiny limousine would be a sore thumb sticking out to both you, the media, and Duckberg in general so he makes sure to either trail far behind or to have another mode of transportation available. Regardless, Scrooge never hires another person to watch you in place.
•Scrooge doesn’t even install cameras. He’d rather experience your life from his own two eyes and not as reported from another bird or screen. He rather liked tracking you himself. It gave him a place to go and at least he’d be able to bask in your duality himself. Sometimes you cried, he found to his own breaking heart. Sometimes you’d smile, (mostly only in his presence, to his delight.)
•Most of all, though, you seem caught in the present of life. Distracted, even. It seems though, that sometimes you’re so distracted that you don’t even notice something is off. Or maybe you yourself are too unable to break the cycle of adrenaline adventure to see it. Maybe you yourself were actively creating excuses, at least at first as to why you sometimes ran into Scrooge McDuck everywhere.
•If there’s something else Scrooge is a master at other than money, it’s with keeping up the detached and reserved persona of a wealthy individual. After all, who would suspect him of such crimes like these? He’s just a selfish, greedy businessman that only cares about his wealth, right? He’d never bother with other birds unless he was shaking hands at a conference table.
•Wrong. As you and him grow to become more like mentor and student, Scrooge begins to insert himself everywhere he possible can in your life, especially after seeing the shitfest that was your social group, what little of it there was. Apparently, you’d finally made a few friends over the years working for him and there was only one out of all of them that Scrooge approved of.
•Two of them, both identical Peacock twins appeared to be fascinated with your link to him and nothing more. It made some sense. After all, who could say they were a close worker to the richest duck in the world? The other one, a tall and lanky chicken, was getting far too handsy with you, and the final, a feline male was nothing but gossip and drama.
•To add to insult, you were a pretty big pushover outside of work which meant that they would drag you to places you didn’t even want to go and pressure you to have drinks you didn’t want to taste. They were in love with the mask you put up, not the complex and amazing face behind it. The one that you were beginning to let Scrooge see.
• Scrooge watches from a distance as your laugh reverberates. The laugh appears to Scrooge as unwavered and solid, mechanical in nature like it was a reoccurring script. Gazing at your face, he could see that your smile was strained, beak scrunched. You just wanted to go home and nothing more.
•The chicken next to you he was sucking a cigarette and the smoke blew in your direction, replacing your laugh with coughing and the others cackled with drunk glee, their solo cups tipping as they did. You blew it off as an accidental push in the wind which, by the way, wasn’t even blowing.
•Out of all of them, Scrooge hated the lanky chicken, who’s name he learned was Gale, the most. You deserved far better than that. Surely you saw through his sleazy act, right? Why were you hanging around such a ratched group of birds? Just how blind were you to their usage of you?
•Almost without even realizing it himself, Scrooge had tailed you the entire way home. After having to torment himself with an hour of seeing you torment yourself, he figured that maybe you’d find something that made you happy other thanyour little flock of “friends.”
•So he was admitting to being a stalker to himself. Did that mean he’d be able to admit it to oblivious ol’ you? Well, no. At least, not for now. Not until you trust him completely. Oh well, he’ll never go further than then that, right? He was watching you, but not engaging in any way. Nothing worse could come out of it..
•Wrong.
•After a while of having you working under him at McDuck Industries, Scrooge began to realize just how much financial control he had over you. Not only did you depend on him cod for paycheck, your landlord worked for someone who worked for him. In other words, the spot of land you were living on was an apartment company that belonged to him. You were living under one of his roofs. All he’d have to do was shift some circumstances and you’d either be homeless or debt free forever. Scrooge of course, plays the benevolent route and lowers it significantly for you. Why antagonize you?
•After having taken that action, Scrooge noticed more and more of a smile on your face as you realized that you didn’t have to depend paycheck to paycheck for food on the table. He had also been aware that you had a side hobby now, involving (F/H.) sometimes you joked you’d start a business and go off parting ways with that hobby. It was source of entertainment to watch you be..Well, you. There was this genuine behavior about you that just drew him in.
•If Scrooge wasn’t adventuring with you or at a meeting also with you, he was still with you. You just didn’t know it yet. Interestingly however, you’d begun to pick up the signs that there was a presence in your life. Whereas you didn’t close the blinds before, you did now. Or maybe that was from all the adventures you’d nearly died on fighting others off. Maybe it was paranoia.
•Eventually, Scrooge managed to break into your apartment under the guise to Launchpad that he’d been invited by you. A ludicrous lie, of course, but Launchpad is gullible to a fault when it comes to Scrooge. He’s loyal like that, and his friendliness to you plays into Scrooge’s emotional manipulation later on.
•As Scrooge sneaks in while you’re still home, he makes his way behind the kitchen counter which seperated your living room. He didn’t expect you to be right there in the living room, but you were, just five feet away from him and the window he snuck in. The window was to your right. He had carefully parted the curtains. Your couch was sitting approximately five feet from the window balcony, facing a corner of the wall with the T.V off.
•Peculiarly, you hadn’t even noticed he’d entered by rigging the door. You were right there, not staring at his direction, but he should have at least appeared in your peripheral. Just what were you doing to be so disconnected to the reality around you? It was worrying.
•Now hidden behind the counter directly to the left of you, he observes your desensitized form. For a moment, Scrooge thought you were a corpse until he peered closer. You were still there, physically. Mentally you looked as if you were in a whole other dimension. In a rather bold move, Scrooge slowly stands up and positions himself in the archway, watching you from his spot.
•You were still, so very still unlike all the times you’d fidget at work or with those “friends.” You still breathed and your hands shook slightly and there was color to your eyes but you yourself didn’t even seem present whatsoever. Your eyes were glazed and far away. It was just your body sitting there in that couch. It was worrisome and yet there was a blissful smile to your face seconds later.
•It was you, daydreaming about something. Something you obviously enjoyed. Scrooge, to his own shame, hoped it involved him. For a few more moments, all you did was sigh like you were meditating. It was haunting how easily you had lost yourself within the confines of your tumbling mind. Somehow, you were blocking out the world beyond, maladaptively.
• Scrooge knew he was taking a huge risk. All you’d have to do to spot him now was swivel your head a few inches or wake up from dreamland. It would take a few inches to ruin what you thought of him.
Just then, to Scrooge’s horror, you had slowly picked yourself off the couch. Your body shuttered as your head snapped up. He knew he was taking a huge risk with this and began to think that maybe it was a terrible idea after all. (Who was he kidding, it was terrible in the first place, he knew what he was doing.)
•He quickly fell back to his crouched position behind the counter, silently and expertly as you turned around and made your way closer and closer. There was a tense moment in which Scrooge contemplated just knocking you down completely and rendering you unconscious. All it would take was a few seconds. Maybe you’d forget or maybe he’d give you the dreamland you seemed so desperate to reach. It would certainly give him peace of mind to know where you are 24/7..All he’d have to do is knock you out and take you to the manor. You’d be secure and have everything you need there…
•Your presence was setting him alight, in the good way and bad way. He loved being near you. But hated the idea of you getting any closer right now, because you getting any closer would ruin your trust in him entirely. A few more steps is all there was between the idol you saw Scrooge as and the monster he was growing to be. You were like a fire. The heat scorched his feathers. Then, when you were away, his thoughts.
•Your steps were louder than they’d ever been. Then, to Scrooge’s unbelievable luck, you turned towards the hallway away from the kitchen. Scrooge knew not to push his luck trying to follow or stay, so despite his clawing urge to figure you out, he hesitantly snuck out with unanswered questions on your concerning mental state.
•It had been a months since that incident and Scrooge was moving onto bigger and bolder actions. Sometimes he’d swipe you away from any conversations you had with your friends by calling you in for a task. Sometimes he’d eat up all your time by keeping you in late, and taking you to places far away that required days of travel.
•Sometimes he’d drive bad influences away by financially ruining their life forever.
You noticed Gale’s downfall quickly, but you didn’t have any idea it was Scrooge who was responsible. Gale lived actually, three complexes from you and oh so suddenly, rent had begun to skyrocket in the particular room he had to himself. This led to him being presented with an eviction notice. You didn’t even have the chance to say goodbye. (Not that you wanted to, though.) deep down you were glad he was gone and Scrooge knew it. Gale had to move far off to find an affordable spot. It was a mercy considering how often Scrooge had dreamed of just throwing him into the ocean tied up for the sharks to find. He was a toxic influence.
•Maybe if someone pushed his button just right, Scrooge would end up killing them, and who would care? There were seven billion fellow people on the planet. Scrooge could just get rid of any threat he wanted and no one would notice or ever suspect it was him. After all, he’s just a grumpy old man with a cane.
•It turns out, Scrooge had picked up on your plans to possibly quit your job. He had never felt his heart sink like it did now. He was fighting off his initial shock as you stood in his office, masking it with a detached face. You hadn’t even confirmed the statement. All you’d said was that maybe you’d found a company within your favorite hobby.
•It was just a small implication. But, Implications could become statements, which could turn into actions, and Scrooge couldn’t let the thought even be a presence in your mind.
•You had stayed with him throughout the years of his loneliest moments, had confessed secrets, had confided in him. You were like his pupil, learning from him and you were like his partner, fighting alongside him. Maybe you were something different altogether.
•...Was it a friend that convinced you? It had to be. Scrooge knew how much you enjoyed galavanting around the world with him. There’s no way you’d just fly off without him.-
“I promise I’ll still occasionally go with you, Scrooge. (A first name basis. This was devolving from anything normal.) I found my passion. We can still adventure together, but I found a path that also makes me happy and doesn’t ya know, get me killed.” You chuckle as if it were nothing. A light joke.
•So you were leaving. You were going to go. Why? You had a great paycheck, (an expensive one that took a lot of money,) you had the opportunity to travel the world. You had the best job you’d ever get. Who else was going to be as good as him? He won’t let you destroy your future by applying for a Mediocre position at some dumptruck company.
•As it turns out, the bird responsible for swaying you was none other than one of the peacocks, her name was Shelby. She and you laughed, and for the first time, your laugh was genuine. Genuine with her and not with Scrooge. You both shared each other’s stories, and she in return had encouraged your little dangerous fantasy of being independent.
•Now of course Scrooge realized how ridiculous this all sounded. He had willingly allowed you to go on perilous adventures with him, but at least then, you were with him. How could he keep an easy eye on you if you just moved off to some rando spot? Plus, he was plenty good as saving you. He was your hero.
•Bad influences needed to go away.
•Scrooge might lie to himself about how much it digs under his feathers, but to see you around other people really dug wrong. He itched every time you decided to take advice from other people, or confide in them instead of him. He was the one you could go to, not them. Your secrets didn’t need to be shared with anyone else but Scrooge. All those rare and precious things that made you yourself didn’t need to be snatched by thieves like Shelby or Gale or whoever else.
•He knew that his criminal actions would scare you. Even with your growing trust and dependence on him, he knew it was too early for you to want to stay with him if you knew what he’s been doing. If he wanted your presence, he’d keep it through lengths you’d find terrifying.
•Scrooge found your biggest flaw was that you always attracted the wrong crowd, and it was primarily because you were always trying to impress others when they really didn’t deserve the magnificent canvas you painted yourself to be. To his even greater detriment, you were beginning to spend your time more and more with Shelby. The canvas you painted was beautiful, as always. But it wasn’t for him, and he found that he was not happy with this new development.
•Don’t you know people take advantage of kindness? It happened to him all the time and still does. It happened to you over and over and yet you kept venturing forth giving out your trust like it was nothing. The world is a sour place if you’re not careful. Cursed kilts, you were already naive about Gale. Who knows how badly future people would hurt you, even if they were well intentioned.
Scrooge could tell that, despite him insisting otherwise, you thought leaning on his shoulder was burdening him. He wanted to make sure you knew it was anything but that. As a matter of fact, he wanted you to lean on his shoulder every moment he possibly could get you to. What was just you occasionally asking for advice on impersonal things becomes entire sessions with Scrooge encouraging you to reveal every personal detail of your life.
•You had revealed that many times, you just wanted independence. A company of your own to possibly build so you could pursue life your own way. Scrooge knew these dangerous thoughts were one of the final roadblocks. Scrooge had to prevent them. Be it through roughening you up financially or discouraging you. Be it from murdering outside influences, too. Who was going to miss the miserable miscreants that plagued your life anyways?
•It is three days before the date you had decided that you would resign. Instead of being merry, you were miserable. The opportunity you had to get the job was burned by them not even calling you for an interview. After your resume, why would they reject you? You had the word of one of the finest businessmen out there to back you up. Scrooge himself promised to put in a good word for you! You were perfectly qualified for the job you were looking for. In your days of being rejected from the position you wanted, you confide in Scrooge. You don’t know it but as he pats your shoulder, he’s thinking of the next way to sabotage your efforts of leaving him.
•Shelby ends up going missing. She was one of your closest friends and the only one who finally treated you well. Your devastation causes a major setback in any ambitious plans as you isolate yourself from anyone else but only the closest person left in your life; Scrooge.
•Currently, you were enveloped in a warm hug, the side of your face leaning in the crook of Scrooge’s neck as he calmed your crying form down, patting your back and promising you his presence would remain forever. You wept at Shelby’s funeral, so did her twin sister and their parents, who, upon seeing Scrooge, had nearly fainted in shock.
•Despite your tumultuous relationship with Shelby, she had actually begun to redeem much of her previously antagonistic actions towards you. She was in a rough place when you had developed a connection with her. So you wept in your boss’s, or rather, your best confidantes arms. You wept.
Scrooge, however, did not.
I've been feeling down lately and all I've been thinking about is getting a comforting hug from either of my husbands 🥺, sooooo I drew some slashers based on this meme 👀👀❤️

notes: i wanted to do something for Christmas... Although its early, I think it would be pretty cool ta do this! sorry its a bit short, by the way. cw: none I can think of
.ೃ࿐ Well.. he doesn’t really know why that strange plant was up there in the first place. He’s heard of the tradition, yes, but who in the actual world put it there? They’re gonna receive a good scolding after this.
.ೃ࿐ After he glares at the mistletoe for a good minute, he turns his focus to you. Wait, hold on. Does that mean he could kiss you?
.ೃ࿐ He gets so smug about it, too. If you point out the mistletoe to him, he’ll just act as if he was oblivious to the whole thing. But if you don’t-
“Ah, what a troubling situation we’ve got ourselves in. Though, I’d feel I would be disrespecting this season if I were to not follow the tradition, don’t you agree?”
.ೃ࿐ Was probably just dragging you around to run from… something, really, when has he not been running from anything? /j
.ೃ࿐ While you two catch your breath, you notice something above both of you. Yep, ya guessed it. The awaited mistletoe! You gesture to it, looking at Mammon. He looked above you both, then looked at you back with confusion.
.ೃ࿐ Hasn’t heard of the tradition before, as you explain it, he slowly gets more and more flustered.
“I-It ain’t like I wanted to follow that stupid plant’s rules or anythin’! But… Guess there’s no helpin’ it if we’re already here.”
.ೃ࿐ It happened completely by chance. Neither of you was expecting it.
.ೃ࿐ You and him were just waiting around for the other to make a move. He saw this kind of stuff in anime and manga, he didn’t expect it to ACTUALLY happen to him though. While he’s nervously shuffling his feet, you assure him that he wouldn’t need to if he wasn’t comfortable with it.
“NO- I mean… It’s bad—no, NO, It's not… Gah, I mean! It wouldn’t be so bad if you were the one I’d have to, you know…!”
.ೃ࿐ He looks up at the mistletoe, then looks back at you, seemingly trying to read your expressions. He knows the whole deal about mistletoes, of course. But he isn’t sure if you were alright with it.
.ೃ࿐ He’d gesture to the mistletoe, looking at you expectantly.
“It seems we’ve been caught by this mistletoe. Would you like to follow the tradition with me? Only if you’d like to, of course.”
.ೃ࿐ Probably has a mistletoe in his pockets, so he could kiss you on-the-go. That little …
.ೃ࿐ He brings it out when he wants a kiss from you, waving it above both of you. He knows he could just ask for a kiss, but isn’t this method much more fun?
“Hehe, what a shame! We’re under the mistletoe! You know what that means, right, dearie~?”
.ೃ࿐ Beel was too busy wolfing down some roasted potatoes to notice, so you had to point it out to him yourself.
.ೃ࿐ He looked at the mistletoe, swallowing the last whole potato. He then turned to you and smiled.
“Oh, I heard about this Asmo. He kept talking about it all day… Do you want to try this out with me?”
.ೃ࿐ He was just walking around with you, trying to find a suitable nap spot. Belphie saw something unusual above you two, though.
.ೃ࿐ You notice him looking at it with a puzzled look on his face and proceeded to explain the whole deal of the tradition to him.
“Huh... That's kinda weird, but I don’t mind if it means I can kiss you.”
IVE BEEN WAITING FOR RQ!!!! could i get main 4 of hxh having a crush headcanons?
Leorio is an open book, as expected when he has feelings he’s straight forward and can be a bit of a flirt at times. His way of flirting being more dorky and cheesy, but you’d have to be a special kinda oblivious not to get his advances. Though despite this confidence he seems to have, he can never actually ask you out on a date, just calling you the love of his life, or tell you how attractive you are. All that, and a date seems like too much? Regardless, he isn’t just there for the looks. He shows he truly cares about you with his protectiveness and overall selflessness when it comes to you.
Kurapika is unsure how to approach you, he’s never liked anyone before so naturally he’s a bit lost. In fact, he doesn’t even understand his feelings for awhile. Misplaces it as just feeling a strong connection with you, that you and him have a stronger friendship than most do. Leorio has to snap him out of that, and explain he’s feeling romantic attraction. Once this becomes clear to him, he’s a bit of an awkward mess around you, fumbling with his words and getting a bit red in the face, acting almost shy, as he can never look you in the eyes. It’s almost painful to watch.
Gon is also like a open book, and is a pretty simple guy. He doesn’t have a full grasp on romantic feelings, so he isn’t able to recognize what he feels, even if he feels it so strongly, all he knows is he feels a deep connection. Something much different than what he feels with Killua, an odd sensation. Like a reason to wake up everyday. It eventually becomes clear (because of leorio) that he likes you. It surprises him, romance has never been much of a focus in his life and yet he’s fallen for you! He’s not sure what to do for awhile, but he’d eventually confess with some flowers and would be straight forward, albeit a bit nervous and may fumble a bit.
Killua isn’t dumb, but is also not used to romance. Given that he’s young and hasn’t been around too many people in his life where he can form good bonds with. It’s safe to say he’s never liked anyone before so it takes him awhile to place what he’s feeling for you, but he’s able to figure it out on his own. He’s not sure what to do about it though, the boy has some insecurities and may feel like maybe you deserve somebody better. He does however confess thanks to Gon. Upon knowing his feelings for you he’s a lot more blushy, and teases you a lot more, he’s also 10x more protective but other than that still himself.
All Rui wanted was to fill that void of not having a family, he wanted that bond that he believed he hadn't gotten with his first family and that's just what he had created for himself. With the assistance of Master Muzan's blood, he was more then capable of bringing forth his vision of a family, his family. Albeit, his family wasn't necessarily "real" but that didn't hinder Rui from going along with his own delusions. After all, if he wanted a family then that's just what he was going to get, no matter how many disappointing, failing 'family members' he had to go through to achieve his image.
He is going to get his perfect family at any and all costs.
Rui would be the one to bring you into the family, of course he would, this is his family after all. He's the one who will decide whether you're fit for your role in being part of the family, critiquing anything and everything you do, no matter how small or minimal it maybe. He'll watch you closely, having the other family members watch you as well.
Maybe you're a demon who had run off to the mountain to flee from the Demon Slayer Corps or maybe you're a demon slayer who had been sent to take out whatever demon had been inhabiting the mountain, not knowing what you would be in for. Maybe you had gotten in the way of one of your comrades to protect them and that snapped something in Rui. Or you could be just some poor soul who wandered into their territory, how foolish of you (Imagine the Spider family with a human new addition, someone so much weaker and vulnerable compared to the rest of them.). It doesn't really matter how you came to be on the mountain, in their territory, watching you're every move Rui sees just how well you'd be as part of his family, deciding your fate then and there.
You'll be forced to be the closest to Rui, he'll keep you by his side if he has to to ensure that you two will be bonded. He will expect you to fulfill your role as whatever he gives you, holding high expectations not only for you but everyone who becomes part of the family. You won't be exempt from consequences and or punishments if you're deserving of them, but the least Rui will make an exception for is that he'll never kill you.
You'll surely, without a doubt, give into the family fantasy. At first, you'll just be playing house to save yourself from punishment or overall death, but you'll gradually fall into your role as part of the family, probably lying to yourself to the point of believing that they really are your family.
Rui, along with the rest of the family would probably prefer someone who is naive and kind, someone who can be easily manipulated and controlled by them. Having someone full of warmth and kindness would be a complete change compared to the cold and loneliness they all are subjected to, even within the family.
Rui can be rather possessive and territorial of you, even with the other family members, but they've learned their places by now. Or at least some of them have. The others will just have to be taught a lesson until it's carved into their memory that your time is mostly Rui's. He sees the other family members as disposable compared to you, you're the one that really means something to him, especially given his image of family.
He sees you as family and feels a real bond with you, unlike the 'fillers' that are your guys' other family members. Rui has no problem getting rid of them and just having it be the two of you but that would hurt you, wouldn't it? After all, you have grown to see them as family, how could you just let Rui take them away like that?
You'll be the only one who can manage to keep Rui at bay with his outbursts and bashing out at the others. You're able to save them from their inevitable dates, even just for a time, but you can't be their savior all the time. You do have a role to fulfill as as part of the family now, and Rui will remind you of that time after time.
Rui will have his soft moments, only with you though. The longer you prove your worth, filling your role and forming a real bond with him, he'll be more likely to allow himself to feel vulnerable with you. Something he didn't know he was capable of anymore. You'll be able to bring out the real Rui as long as you're willing to try.
Something that would really win Rui over is if you ever tried to protect him, he is the most powerful out of the family, so their isn't really any need for the others to protect him, but you going out of your way to do so would make Rui obsess over you all the more. He'll get emotional, especially if you got hurt as a result of protecting him.
Speaking of which, if you ever got hurt, whether from protecting him or by being attacked in general, Rui would lose his shit. He'll slaughter, shred, and do whatever he can to kill the person who did anything to you, even if it was another family member. He's not going to allow for anyone to hurt his family, especially you.
The other family members don't really have any of their own opinions about you, all that matters is that you fill your role, falling into place with the family. It won't take them until much later on, after playing house for awhile, that they'll really start to grow their own attachments to you.
Father is just as delusional as Rui, he fills his role as father just as he should and he expects everyone to do the same with their own roles. He is extremely protective of his family, willing to do just about anything for them. Whether that's due to his genuine care for his 'family' or just for his survival, it doesn't matter, as long as he fills his role at the end of the day.
Despite his investment towards his family, his children, you'll surely become his favorite. He'll gradually grow attached to you, being one of the first ones to not only fall along into the obsession of you, but to also be solely bonded to you, excluding Rui.
Father would have a such soft spot for you, you're presence alone is enough to calm him down. He doesn't want you seeing him lash out, especially towards Mother, he doesn't want you to be scared of him. He wants you to see him as a good father, someone you can count on for protection and providing. He never wants you to fear him, unlike anyone else.
He'll often check on you when he's doing his rounds, patrolling the mountain. He likes to check in and see if you're safe and well. You're probably a lot weaker compared to everyone else and he feels the need to protect you even more because of it, they all do.
Father can have his softer moments, not only with you but everyone else too, it only took you being brought into the family for there to be changes like that. He'll often give you and the children piggyback rides, or spiderback rides?, all around the mountain. You may even be able to get Rui to indulge in them too.
He also likes to play with your hair, something he only started doing when you came around, playing with with everyone's hair. He'll also give headpats or hair ruffles, you'll get loads of them.
You'll be able to get him to be much more gentle with Mother, too. Especially if you voice how much it hurts to see Mother crying and hurting, he'll do anything for you.
If anything ever happened to you, along with the rest of the family but mostly you, Father would go berserk. There's nothing that would stop his from destroying the people or demons who hurt you in any way. None of the family stand by and allow that to happen, ever.
Mother would be apprehensive and weary of being too close with you given Rui and Father's own growing, festering attachments towards you. She's already been punished enough, she doesn't want to upset either of them any more then she already has, especially concerning you.
Showing any kind of kindness and gentleness to her would really draw her in. Everyone in the family can be so cruel and cold, but you're showing her something she hasn't had in a long time if at all. She'll bask in whatever warmth and affection you'll gift her with. It won't take her long to fall alongside Rui and Father in their obsession of you.
She'll learn to fill her role as mother by watching you and taking on some of your behavior and tendencies, which will earn her better resignation among the family, especially with Rui.
Mother would love to show you her dolls, performing little shows for you and the rest of the family. She also loves having you sit with her, sharing her rock and looking at the moon and the stars.
She's the softest out of the family, picking up on your warmth and affection, she'll gladly return it all tenfold. Mother really loves to hold you close, basking in your very existence, it really makes here feel so warm and...dare she say, "happy". You make her so happy and free, feelings she hasn't felt for a long time.
Mother loves to do your hair, no matter how long or short it may be, she loves messing with it in any and all ways.
You're her baby, her precious baby, and she will uphold her role as Mother just for you. She doesn't want you having another mother, no one could possibly take her place just like no one could possible replace you. She'll do her damndest to keep this family together, for you.
If anything ever happened to you, Mother would become enraged, she'll be heartbroken but she's going to lash out first. Once everything is said and done she'll be by your side once more, like any mother.
If you ever died, Mother would be the first to join you. She'll gladly walk out into the warm sunlight just to be with her baby again, the two of you being free together at least.
All the family members would eventually do the same, hoping to maybe be a family again in the afterlife, even if it is in Hell. Maybe you'll all even be returned into the same family, being together once again.
(Whenever I see this dude, i just fucking lose it laughing. I don't know why.)
Brother is an odd one, he without a doubt likes the violence and chaos that was the original family before you came along and that's how it still is. He doesn't much care for you or your role in the family, honestly he most likely wishes you'd never came along to begin with but there's no going against Rui when he sets his mind on something.
He's definitely a little teasing shit, he'll do whatever to get a rise out of you, one way or another. If you're scared of his spider minions then he'll use that against you, you'll be seeing them everywhere from now on. If you hate that he just pops out of nowhere then he'll be doing it more often. He's that shitty brother who just never let's up about anything.
Rui, Father, and Mother will all have talks with him but it won't do much, at least Mother and Father won't really get any result from him. Rui, on the other hand, sure will. Brother will, at the very least, tone his teasing/cruel pranks down a smidge, but that's about all he'll do.
You may even thing that Brother hates you, but that couldn't be further from the truth. At first, he couldn't have cared less about you but the longer you're around and more fun he has with messing with you, the more he grows fond of you. Coming to realize that, in some twisted way, this is what a family is like, this is how siblings are with each other, at least to an extent.
He'll secretly adore his new little sibling but you're not getting a peep out of him about it, no one will ever get anything from him about it but they all know.
As vicious and cruel as Brother can be, he's much more terrifying and merciless when your safety is concerned or if he believessomeone is trying to take his place with you.
He won't tolerate anyone messing with his sibling unless he's the one doing so. Anyone who tries to so much as do anything to you will be poisoned immediately, turning into a spider and becoming yet another little minion of his. No one messes with his family, unless it's him, especially not some little humans from the Demon Slayer Corps.
Brother can have his much nicer moments, particularly after some of the meaner things he does to you, he'll send some of his little minions with gifts for you. Sometimes it's a flower he found, or something that one of the demon slayers or humans had on them that he thought you'd like. He'll never admit it but he does like to see you smile, at least from time to time.
Sister became part of the family solely to save herself from the Demon Slayer Crops, otherwise she wouldn't have been part of such a thing. She felt the need to pay her debt by filling her role as a sister and so that's what she did.
She felt rather threatened when Rui had brought you home, she didn't want you to replace her, even if the family wasn't good to beging with. She was necessarily mean to you but she would try to get something on you to get you in trouble with any of the other family members, maybe then she'd be a good sister/daughter if you were out of the picture. But no one ever budged when it came to you, hell, you didn't even budge whenever she asked you about running away or something of the sort. It was hopeless in the end.
It wasn't until you had come to her baring a gift, that she really started to look at you in a new light. You were really trying to fill your role but along the way you came to see these other beings, these people, as family. She was weary at first, not trusting you, but that changed soon enough.
She'd seen what happened to those who didn't fill their roles or were just disappointing in general and she didn't want any of that for you. She wanted you to thrive, she wanted to thrive with you. She knew that the others' loved you dearly but she still felt that she had to watch out for you, which was odd since she really only watched out for herself.
If you weren't spending most of your time with Rui then sister would have you to herself, at least until Mother or Father came to get you. Brother only coming when he wanted to see you squeal or shriek from whatever mean thing he had planned for you.
Sister would really start to take her role seriously once you're part of the family. She wants to be the best older sister, not only for Rui, but also for you. She wants to be something, someone, that you're proud of, that you're proud to call your sister. She wants to make you prouder than anything or anyone else.
You and Sister will often chase each other around the mountain, maybe even getting the rest of the family involved too, playing a fun game of tag. She would also accompany you and Father on your usual piggyback rides around the mountain too, each of you on either of his shoulders or holding onto each other while on his back.
Sister will eventually love you along with the rest of the family, falling into their shared obsession with their new family member. She'll be just as willing to do anything for you, like they all are willing to do.
The family would really come to feel like a true, genuine family once you've been brought in, filling your role as the strings that keep them all tied together as they should be, as a real family should be. Not letting them fall apart, not again.
Bless whatever poor soul may try to come between this family and their new addition, they'll surely be destroyed without so much as a blink.
Summary: There’s nowhere else Sans would rather be than right at your side. When he sees his name written on your skin in shining letters, he’s overjoyed. For a moment, at least, until he sees you running to the arms of someone else.
