You Trust Him With Your Secret
Prompt: What is his reaction when you trust him with your deepest secret?
Gender: gn!Reader
A/N: I did a poll on Tumblr asking who you would trust with your deepest, and the top five winners are below.
- When you tell Leona you want to share a secret, he gives you a long, lazy stare.
- “Tch. Why me?” He says it like he doesn’t care, but his tail flicks, giving it away that he’s paying close attention.
- You tell him your secret, and he listens closely without interruption. By the end, he’s quiet – no teasing, no smirking, and no verbal jabs. “You really trust me that much, huh?”
- He acts like it’s no big deal; Leona stretches and pretends to doze off, but later, when no one’s around, you catch him faintly smiling.
- Never speaks your secret to a single soul because he knows trust is sacred. If anyone attempts to ask him to spill your secret, he shuts them down with a glare sharper than any lion’s claws.
- But Leona teases you a few days later. “Don’t worry, herbivore. Your little secret’s safe. I’m not that chatty.”
- Translation: He is grateful that you trusted him with your secret.
- When you say you have a secret to share, Lilia’s eyes twinkle. What juicy thing do you want to tell him, and about whom? “Oho? You trust this old bat with something precious? How flattering!”
- He listens intently, but is serious when he realizes it’s your secret. When you finish, he hums softly, like he’s cherishing the moment.
- “You know, I’ve lived long enough to see how rare it is to be trusted so openly.” His usual teasing smile turns into a genuine one.
- If anyone ever pries, he’ll act clueless and effortlessly switch topics with grace. Lilia will never forget that you trusted him with a part of you that you kept hidden.
- “Kalim, I want to tell you something, but you can’t tell anyone.”
- He immediately lights up and gives you his undivided attention. “Really?! You trust me that much? What do you want to tell me?”
- Once you tell him, he becomes uncharacteristically quiet, which is rare for Kalim. It takes him a little time to process that you trusted him with your secret.
- “Wow… thank you. I know people think I talk too much, but you still trusted me.” His grin was as sweet as possible. “Don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone, not even Jamil. I promise.”
- Your trust means a lot to him – even more than you realize.
- You pull him aside and quietly say, “Ace, I need to tell you something, but you can’t tell anyone.”
- “Oh? What do you want to tell me? Did you mess something up or somethin’?” He teases, expecting you to say something funny or dramatic.
- When you actually tell him, though, he mentally freezes. Did you trust him with one of your deepest secrets? His heart feels fuzzy, but he’s not going to tell you that.
- “Wait, you’re serious?” He scratches his neck, looking a little awkward. “Uh… okay. I am not sure why you told me this, but my lips are sealed.”
- He doesn’t gossip about it, not even with Deuce. Ace pretty much locks the secret deep in his mind. You also notice him being more protective of you.
- When he sees your serious expression, Sebek immediately straightens up, thinking something has happened. He mentally prepares for action and how he will approach the situation.
- You tell him the secret, and he stands completely still, even forgetting to blink. He was not prepared to hear your deepest secret.
- “You… you trusted me with this? Why?” His voice is loud but not as loud as usual. Sebek doesn’t wait for your reply and adds, “I shall guard it with my life! You have my word as a retainer of Lord Malleus!”
- You tell him he doesn’t need to be so dramatic, but he insists it’s an honor to be trusted.
- Never spills a word of it, not even by accident, not even to Malleus. He treats your trust like a royal decree.
