Anonymous asked:
May I have a slightly strange request? Raiden and Fujin's reaction to their crush suddenly saying "God save Johnny Cage" (the reader and Cage are friends and this phrase just escaped by chance and was not even intended for anyone in particular)

Fujin and Raiden React To Their Crush Saying âGod Save Johnny Cageâ
It was like any other day in the Sky Temple, or, as normal as the Sky Temple could be. In the last few weeks, youâd been setting up your friendly neighbourhood Shinto deities with some more modern Earthrealm technology, the latest edition being a TV. It was nothing fancy, an old Goodmans 1408 that you had lying around. The real challange was hooking it up to modern channels. After some percussive maintenance, you tune the CRT TV to a talk show featuring Johnny Cage. The storm brothers gathered behind you, enchanted by the flickering screen you had brought to life for them. The interview itself was relatively dull, with Johnny being asked about his latest movie or suspected liasions with other Hollywood actors. It was until the interviewer mentioned one of Johnnyâs costars, an actor whoâd been publicly outed as transgender, and asked if Johnny could ever work with the âdirty, immoral liarâ again. The three of you watch as Johnny begins to shout at the interviewer, screaming that they had no right to say that about his costar. The arguement continues until Johnny punches the interviewer across the jaw, before turning to the camera crew and live audience to speak about the importance of trans rights. But he could only get a few words in before the program cuts off, with a 'We Are Experiencing Technical Difficultiesâ message. The storm Gods share a look while you nod your head proudly. âGod save Johnny Cage.â you mutter. You didnât have time to think about the nuances of what you had said in front of the two Gods, but decided that it was more amusing to let them come to their own conclusions.
Fujin
- Recently Fujin had been building up the courage to reveal his feelings towards you. He was sure of how he felt but painfully unsure of how to go about it. He had asked his brother, Raiden, who was little help. He had even asked other Earthrealmers, although he did his best to hide your identity as the object of his affections.
- Fujin knew one thing, that if he couldnât tell you, then he absolutely couldnât tell any of your friends, what if they stepped in? What if they said something to you that gave you a bad opinion of him? What if someone stole your heart first?
- There were far too many ways it could all go terribly wrong. And now he was even more confused. âGod save Johnny Cageâ, what did those words mean? Well he knew what they meant, but why would you say them?
- Fujin was a god, did you want him to save Johnny? If that were the case, Johnny didnât seem to be in any danger. If you really cared that much about Johnny, maybe itâs time Fujin confessed his feelings for you before itâs too late.
- When the two of you are alone, Fujin will drop to his knee dramatically, âI vow to protect Johnny Cage for you, because since the day we met, I have loved you, and I will do all in my power to make you happy, even if you love another.â
- Fujin emotionally braces, expecting rejection, but instead hears your delighted squeals as you wrap your arms around him, saying how you love him too, pressing soft kisses to his cheek.
Raiden
- For the last few months, Raiden had been delicately calculating how to best start a relationship with you. Part of that was navigating how you felt about others, and if he had any competition to worry about.
- From what he had seen, your relationship with Johnny Cage was platonic at best. But Johnny was also more experienced in courting techniques and had succeeded in gaining many partners over his short, mortal lifetime.
- Raidenâs heart sinks at the idea that perhaps Cageâs charm had reached you through the television, ensnaring you enough to make you say âGod save Johnny Cageâ.
- He knew the meaning behind that saying, he wasnât a complete fool. To ask a god to save someone was a verbal decleration of your devotion to someone, your pride in them, how you wish their lives to be long and happy.
- Werenât all those things the sum of love? Those were certainly all the things Raiden wished for you. For you to suddenly feel this way towards Cage⌠The only explaination was the TV, clearly a cursed device that you must be protected from.
- Que Raiden launching the TV over the nearest balcony when you arenât looking, if you ask where it went, Raiden will feign ignorance and instead invite you for a walk in the gardens, offering his arm for you to take.
