“Baby it’s cold outside is a rape song!” Bitch we radios still played R Kelly songs despite FUCKING FOOTAGE of him raping a teenage girl. Ugh, boondocks was a good middle finger to how my community acted
Also…do people forget that 40’s-50’s people were tongue in cheek about their sexual desires? You can easily pick up the innuendos if you remember pre sex revolution dynamics
Why do I got better critically thinking skills than grown ass adults? WHY, WHY, WHYYYY
youtube
Bored as hell and I wanna get I'll So I went to a place where my homeboys chill The fellows out there, making that dollar I pulled up in my 6-4 Impala They greet me with a 40 and I started drinking And from the 8-ball my breath start stinking Love to get my girl, to rock that body Before I left I hit the Bacardi Went to her house to get her out of the pad Dumb hoe says something stupid that made me mad She said somethin that I couldn't believe So I grabbed the stupid bitch by her nappy ass weave She started talkin shit, wouldn't you know? Reached back like a pimp and slapped the hoe Her father jumped out and he started to shout So I threw a right-cross cold knocked him out
Cause the boyz n tha hood are always hard You come talking that trash we'll pull your card Knowing nothing in life but to be legit Don't quote me boy, cause I ain't saying shit ____________
Eazy was the only one of the bunch that didn't sell out in the end, at least between him, Dre', and Cube.
MC Ren is low key enough that he doesn't pop up too much, so he may or may not have.
Eazy didn't know how to lay low, or wear a condom.
Cube doin the 'no vaseline' attempt at a diss track just sounded like him crying through gritted teeth, and the Antisemitism wasn't cool either you'd be dead if a Jewish dude hadn't picked y'all up and fought to make you famous.
I have a strangely high level of respect for E, him and Ice-T from that particular genera.
Shock -G too, but Digital Underground wasn't gangsta. Humpty Dance could fit in with the subject matter too though.
tangent over ________________
This is why I have so much trouble with people bitching and moaning about misogyny and shit in tv and movies an screaming and yelling about how women need to be treated as more than sex objects,
Then comes Cardi B to save the day in the CA wildfire season
Tumblr media
they just want to be offended at things they don't understand, or care to look into.
None of the subject matters are anything new either, just stopped trying to be clever and dropped all subtext now.

Saw that you were looking for more Rick Flag requests and felt the fandom is missing this lovely yet funny trope - sex magic 😂
You know how it goes - Rick Flag and Reader are on a mission together and get hit with a chemical that get them all hot and bothered. The only way to survive is to bang haha
Only if you’re up to doing this type 🤗 thanks
A/N: I'm not up to writing smut, but if someone else wants to, the prompt is open! I turned it into a fluffier version. I set this in my Rick Flag series, which you can read here. All my fics in the series are one-shots, but feel free to read the whole series for maximum enjoyment. Requests are open!
True Love's Kiss - Rick Flag x Reader
Tumblr media
...
Waller’s missions, you thought, just get worse and worse.
For example, this one: Waller had dispatched you, Rick Flag, Captain Boomerang and your best friend Blackguard to retrieve an ancient, magical object for her before it could be taken by neighboring warlords. Her logic was reasonable, but the mission...
Not so much.
“What is this?” you wondered aloud. “It’s like, it’s some kind of...”
"Mystical cave," Rick muttered. "Yeah. I'm familiar."
You winced, recalling his experiences with the Enchantress. Rick didn’t like to talk about it, and you didn’t, either.
“I’ll check it out, okay? You don’t have to go further in.”
“You sure, L/N?”
You nodded, wandering further into the cavern by yourself.
A slow, whispering voice began to creep up on you-
Punchline...
Punch...line...
“That’s not my name,” you stammered, suddenly fearful. “Stop.”
Rick... Rick Flag...
Rick Flag...
“Don’t talk about him.”
He doesn’t love you back...
He will never love you back...
Hands over your ears, you stumbled upon a large boulder, a needle sticking out of it.
Prick your finger...
Prick your finger...
You gave in.
...
“L/N!” shouted Rick. “Hey, L/N-”
“What’s the matter?” asked Harley, popping up behind him.
“I lost Y/N. I know she’s somewhere in the caverns, but-”
Captain Boomerang emerged from the darkness, torch in hand, a sad look on his face.
“...Flag, I think you might want t’ see this...”
He led Rick, Harley and Blackguard deeper into the cave, until Rick stumbled upon your unconscious body.
“Oh, God-”
“Y/N?” asked Harley, tentatively, tears spilling from her eyes. “Hey, c’mon, Y/N... this isn’t very funny-”
Rick picked you up bridal-style, and carried you over to a larger boulder, lying you down on top of it.
“Is she dead?” asked Blackguard, his voice shaking a little.
“No,” Rick murmured in wonder, “No, she’s... she’s alive. She has a pulse.”
“Hey, Flag!” Harley shouted. “Come have a look at this!”
Rick took Boomerang’s torch and held it against a wall full of engravings.
“Does anyone speak this language?” Harley hollered.
“Yeah, says something like...” Rick squinted. “Oh, God.”
"What?” yelped Harley, shaking him by the collar. “What? Out with it! This is my sister we’re talkin’ about - well, she ain’t, but she might as well be.”
“True love’s kiss,” managed Rick. “Harley, it says we can wake her up with - and I quote - true love’s kiss.”
The group glanced around at each other.
“Well,” Blackguard said, “Wow, I guess I’m up-”
“Hold on, mate,” insisted Boomerang, “What makes you so sure it’s you?”
“I’m her best friend, man. She loves me. I love her, too - you know I’d do anything for her.”
“That doesn’t mean it’s true love,” Boomerang stated. “True love’s, like, fairytale nonsense.”
“Yeah, true,” said Harley. Rick glanced to her.
“...Could be you.”
“Ew, no!” she shouted. “Don’t get me wrong, Y/N’s a very nice gal - but she’s not like that for me. That’s my sister. All the family I’ve got.”
“Alright,” Rick reasoned. “So... it has to be Hertz or Harkness.”
“What about you, Flag?” Boomerang asked. “Why not you?”
Rick laughed.
“No. No, it’s not me. I’m sure of that. Hertz... you’re our best bet. You go.”
“I mean, does anyone else feel a little uncomfortable with this?” asked Blackguard. “I mean, maybe she wouldn't like us kissing her.”
“I don’t think she’d like sleeping forever, neither,” said Boomerang. “It's utilitarian. Nothing behind it. We just... won’t make anything out of it, that’s all. You’re all my friends - I’d kiss any of you.”
Blackguard nodded, leaning down and giving you a quick peck on the lips.
“Nothing,” he said, a trace of disappointment leaking from his voice. “It didn’t work. It’s... it’s not me.”
Boomerang brushed the hair from your forehead.
“I’m sorry,” he murmured. “I hope this works.”
He kissed you - longer than Blackguard had. Still, nothing.
...All eyes turned to Rick.
“No,” he said, firmly. “No, absolutely not.”
“So, you’re tellin’ me,” said Harley, “That you have the power to bring her back - but you’re not doin’ it?”
“Harley, it wouldn’t work anyway-”
“You don’t know that, Flag!”
“Yes, I do!” he shouted. “I know that she doesn’t love me back!”
The breath caught in Harley’s throat.
“Love you back?”
Boomerang grinned at him.
“Well, now you’ve got to give it a try, mate,” said Boomerang, reasonably. “If you don't - Harley’ll never let you hear the end of it.”
Rick nodded, dutifully, then cleared his throat, kneeling by your side.
“I’m very sorry,” Rick said honestly, “...If this doesn’t work. I’m so sorry. And I’m sorry for kissin’ you while you’re unconscious, too, but... it’s what I have to do, okay? So I promise that... it’s just a kiss-”
“True love’s kiss,” insisted Harley, and he glared at her.
“Just a kiss.”
Slowly, he leaned down, pressing a kiss to your lips.
...Nothing happened.
Rick stroked your face, gently, and he thought - well, maybe, if he wanted it enough, it could be a true love’s kiss.
He’d do anything to make you wake up again.
“I love you,” Rick whispered. “I love you, I love you.”
He leaned down again. Kissed you, one more time.
And slowly, miraculously, your eyelids softly fluttered open. Rick clutched your face, and you coughed, waking up.
“True love’s kiss,” whispered Harley. “Works every time.”
...

Wanna Make A Bet?: A Mondo Owada smut request.
18+ ONLY. DO NOT READ IF UNDER 18!!!!!
NSFW: request and story under cut
TW:// exhibitionism, public pleasure, chastity belts, orgasm deprivation, cursing
Word Count:// 1,976
“a one-shot featuring mondo oowada practicing exhibitionism please? In the story, he'd go to town to do errands wearing a face mask. In truth, he'd have a vibrator on him with his cock in chastity and his mouth tape gagged under the mask. His objective is to finish his errands without anyone exposing him or him cumming in public. And I kinda imagine that he's doing this out of a dare between his gang members. To show he's a real man whose in control of himself. He would mainly be alone but his gang leaders would look from a distance to see if he hasn't lost yet.”
“Wait bro, you’re what?” One of the guys piped up quickly. Mondo just sighed heavily and look his friend / gang member in the eyes and repeated himself. “I’m an exhibitionist, man.”
“What the fuck is that??” Another gang member asked almost instantly.
“Jesus Christ- fuck all of you,” Mondo said getting pissed off at his friends. “I told you that sitting around like a bunch of little bitch ‘drinking and talking about our feelings‘ or whatever the fuck was fucking stupid.”
“No come on bro, none of us have literally ever even heard of that before”
“Fuck, it just means I like the idea of people seeing me get off, I guess?” Mondo said sharply looking at all his friends sitting around him. “like I get off on it I fucking guess.”
“So like, you want to jack off in public?” One of them asked.
“I’ll kick your fucking ass bro- that’s nasty dude. I’d never want anybody unsuspecting to fully see it dude, christ” Mondo stood up out of his chair and looked at them all. “You’re so fuckin dumb- all of ya! I don’t wanna be put on a damn sex offender list for touching myself in the goddamn park or something! I just… want to get off in front of people. It seems fucking hot,” he admitted while shrugging.
A few of the guys exchanged glances, and started to mumble to each other, just soft enough that Mondo couldn’t make out what was being said until they all looked back at him. “Wanna make a bet?” One of the guys asked as he stood up to be eye level with their gang’s leader.
“How much? And what kinda bet we talkin?” Mondo asked, admittedly intrigued.
“20,000¥. Meet us back here tomorrow at noon. Got it?”
Mondo just rolled his eyes. “Whatever, but I got some fuckin errands to run so you better make it quick, got it assholes?” He made eye contact with everyone else in the room, as they just snickered at him.
And that’s how he got here. In the bathroom of the garage the gang always meets at. Mondo sighs and looks in the duffel bag his friends tossed into his arms when he walked in, with no instructions further than “put it all on and get back out here.” ‘How did they even get all this stuff so last minute? Did they already have it?” Mondo thought to himself. So he did. He started by putting on, and locking, the chastity belt, which made him just a little too excited. Mondo hasn’t ever actually used a chastity before, he just knows they’re supposed to make him last way longer since he can’t touch himself, and he knows it’ll keep him nice and hard. Then he decided to use the duct tape, and gag himself with it, keeping his mouth shut. The next logical move for him was to put on the black face mask, so nobody could see the tape gag situation he had going on. All this for ¥20,000? ‘Fuck me’ was all he could think right now. Then the last step. Mondo held the little remote controlled vibrating butt plug in his hand and just stared at it for a few minutes before inserting it. He didn’t turn on it yet, and he was nervous as shit to do it too.
Mondo slowly and carefully walked out of the bathroom to the main room where everyone was waiting for him. He was already getting hard, and knew that whatever the fuck this was, was going to be a fucking nightmare. “Bro, everything… in place?” One of his gang members asked cautiously. The gagged Mondo just shook his head up and down quickly. “Perfect! So, you wanna get off in front of people without being put on a list?” His friend taunted. Mondo blushed, but luckily you couldn’t tell through the mask. “Well, I know you said you had some errands to run today, so why don’t we see if you can get through all those- but maybe without cumming,” he teazed. Mondo got wide eyed. So now, not only is he going to be horny as hell in public, but he’s not allowed to finish until the fucking errands are done? His face turned red and he tried to scream at his gang, forgetting about the gags, which just left him muffled and even more pissed off. Quickly Mondo got out a piece of paper and wrote:
“You’re fucking ON assholes.”
That’s exactly what they wanted to hear. “Perfect. Let’s get you on the back of a bike, because face it man, you can not drive with all that shit on ya,” the gang member chuckled. “I will be close behind watching though- so you better not cheat or try to lie, because trust me, I’ll fucking know. Oh and you’re giving me the key to that belt. It’s not coming off,”
With that, Mondo handed his gang member the key, then pulled himself onto the back of his bike, and the two of them rode off to the market place. As they pulled up to the big parking lot, the gang member cracked a small smirk, and got off the bike with Mondo. “All right, go do your shopping or whatever the fuck you gotta do man. I’ll keep my distance, but I’m watching you.” He said as he headed off into the crowd of people, leaving Mondo there alone. With a deep breathe in, and reaching into his coat pocket, he pressed the button to the remote control that little plug he had shoved up his ass. He set it to a low setting for now, and walked up to the first shop he had to go to. He took a deep breath and walked through the supermarket doors.
Mondo was walking through the fruits and vegetables section of the store, with his cock as hard as ever. Another man needed to grab something on the shelf right in front of Mondo, so he moved over to allow the man some space- and when he did his vibrator shifted just a little and he accidentally slipped. “Mmmh” he hummed lightly, quickly trying to turn it into a cough so the man next to him didn’t suspect anything. But Mondo loved the way he just felt. He reached his hand into his pocket and put the vibrator on a medium pulsating setting, that made him even hornier than before, if that’s even possible.
“Hnnnnnnngh” Mondo moaned lowly. He wanted to scream, his body felt amazing. He caught a woman shoot a side eye at him but she turned away and went about her business. Mondo tried his absolute best to compose himself, straightened up the best he could, and walked into the aisle he had come to the store for.
‘I just need 3- oh my fucking god” Mondo thought to himself. He quickly hunched over and grabbed onto the nearest shelf to catch his breath and control himself. He wanted to touch himself so badly, but with the belt that wasn’t even possible. “Hmm..” Mondo moaned out a few times. “hmmmf…” He already wants to turn the vibrator up to max speed, but he knows he’ll be a cryong mess if he does that. He only has one more thing to do once he’s done with the store, he can last till then, he thinks. He slowly makes his way through the aisle, grabs the three items he needed for his apartment, and tries to go pay. But god the line is long today. He has no choice but stand there and wait. Every time the line moved a little and he was forced to take a small step forward, his vibrator hit him in just the right spot to make him a god damn mess. ”nmmm… fuh..” he started to moan out in the still long line. He knew nobody could hear him, or cared but he was so embarrassed. The line moved once again, and this time his vibrator hit his prostrate in the exact right spot. A few tears formed at the corner of Mondo’s eye as he actively restrained himself from moaning out in pleasure.
Finally it’s his turn to check out and pay. He reaches into his jackets pocket to grab his wallet, but when he does, he bumps the button on the remote. “Haaaaahh…”Mondo hisses loudly as he arches his back a little. He took a few deep breaths, then pretended to finish a pretty unbelievable sneeze and proceeded to pay. The moment the cashier gave Mondo his change, he grabbed his stuff and ran to the nearest public restroom. He swiftly locked the door behind him and gripped onto the side of the sink and looked at himself in the mirror. He tried to palm himself through his pants, but the metal belt covering his fully erect dick gave him absolutely no direct contact with his throbbing cock. He starts whimpering loudly- but it’s not too loud thanks to his gag and mask. “Mmmmmh,” “hmmm hoh my god ffff-“ he barely muttered out. Mondo wanted to scream, or cry, or just touch himself once, so desperately. He felt like he was close to cumming from the vibrator alone. “Hnnnng” he cried out.
Mondo decides to try and stand up so he could leave the bathroom as quickly as he can, and find his way back to the bike. His gang member wasn’t too far behind him, so when they were both at the bike a few moments later, and Mondo hopped on without so much as saying a word, the gang member knew what was going on. He got in the front and took Mondo straight to the garage and tossed the key to him. “Ffnk you” Mondo muttered quickly as he ran to the bathroom he immediately ripped the mask and duct tape off of his mouth and moaned out loudly. “Holy fuccccckkkkk mmmmhhh…” He didn’t care that some of his friends were just a few rooms away and might be able to hear him. He just knew he felt so good and couldn’t help himself. Next was obviously the belt restricting him from touching himself. With a shaky hand, he unlocked it as fast as he was able too- which admittedly took about 3 minutes because of the constant pleasure he was feeling. Once the belt was off, Mondo immediately wrapped his hand around his now swollen, throbbing cock. “FUCK!” He shouted out in pure ecstasy and bliss. He was nothing but a mess of whimpers, cries, and moans in that moment. He knew he wasn’t going to last very long, so he quickly removed the vibrator, and fell to the floor. Mondo pumped his length a couple of times before he felt his orgasm quickly approaching. With one more stroke, he screamed out in pleasure “FUCK ME” and threw his head back as the white liquid oozed out of him, coating his hands, stomach, and thighs. He kept pumping himself slowly as more cum came out of him. “Mm…” he whimpered softly as the last of it came out. With shaky legs, Mondo pulled himself up off the floor, cleaned himself to the best of his ability, put all his clothes back on, and walked (even though it was more like a limp) back into the main area of the garage.
Without saying a word, or making eye contact with anybody, Mondo grabbed ¥20,000 and placed it in his buddy’s hand. He immediately walked out of the garage, barely got on his bike, and went home, thinking about not only just how fucked up his gang is, but how goddamn fun today was for him.
‘Maybe if I ever meet a chick we can do this shit together…’ Mondo thought to himself with a smirk.

Fandom(s): Mötley Crüe
Characters, ships: Nikki Sixx, Vince Neil / ✨v i n i k k i✨
Word count: 6.4k
Rating: 18+ / A-O
Warnings: sex work; internalized homophobia/homophobic slurs; oh yeah, this has a lot of gay smut btw
Summary: 19-year-old West Hollywood playboy Frankie Feranna - or Nikki Sixx, as he presents himself to the general public- is so confident in his heterosexuality that he decided it would be a good idea to offer his services to anyone, as long as they'll pay him. It's not gay if it's only for business, right? That's what Nikki would tell himself until he's approached by Vince, a pretty, sassy, (and horny) fast-food chain worker, who'll make him not only rethink his business methods but also his attraction to the same sex.
A/N: Inspired by the Crüe song Sumthin’ for Nuthin’. This is the first episode of hopefully a series (I’m thinking of 7-10 parts) of self-conclusive tales about the various encounters of gigolo!Nikki in his teenage/ya years. The events are not supposed to be in chronological order but are all set in the late 70s/early 80s, so expect different ages/descriptions of the protagonist in other episodes from this series.
Very special thanks go to the Vinikki Expert™ @arnold-layne for reading this and giving me the motivation that i needed to keep going until I finished it <3
-----------------------------------------------------------------
It was a hot summer’s night, and Nikki had just finished quite the challenging shift at work. Who would’ve guessed that bitch was into that kinky stuff? Sexual frustration really does a number on people’s sanity, he thought, while he carefreely skipped to the next turn of a dimly lit street, but he considered it a job well done, and the generous tip that was given him was the proof of it. The trash scattered around and the police sirens going off in the distance didn’t seem to affect Nikki’s mood: getting some food was the only objective in his mind, and the sleazy diner at the end of the road looked like a five-star restaurant at that moment of the night. Nikki’s eyes lit up at the sight of the sign still flipped on “open” and sped up the pace: he was starving.
He pushed the glass door and entered. It was empty, except for two bored-looking employees - some blond surfer dude and a brunette Latina - chatting behind the counter, and KISS blasting Detroit Rock City through the speakers. He greeted the waiters, sat down at one of the front tables, and skimmed the menu.
“...What about him, huh?” She asked her colleague, nodding towards the boy who just entered, keeping a low tone trying to not let their new customer hear them. “He’s kinda cute!”
The boy looked in the direction she was pointing at. God, more like drop-dead gorgeous. Six feet tall, chiseled jawline, copper brown hair to his shoulders, lips that only a god of love would have. The flickering colored neon lights reflecting on his face gave him an almost otherworldly aspect. He traced the young man’s profile with his gaze, wishing for that image to be engraved on his mind forever, hoping he would never forget it, while butterflies were growing in his stomach and his heart started pounding faster in his chest. He had never believed in love at first sight, but he was willing to admit he was mistaken this time.
“Well… he is cute.” The blond exhaled.
“Wait, isn’t that the new gigolo of the area? I saw him the other day with Rosie! And Olivia told me she’s seen his ad in The Recycler saying that he swings both ways.” The girl grinned. “You wanna talk to him?”
That question snapped him out of his thoughts: “Huh? No!” He responded, completely flushed.
“Oh, come on, Vince! When was the last time you turned down a chance to get laid?” She nagged him with the elbow.
“Lola!“ Vince grabbed her by the wrist and dragged her behind the kitchen doors.
“What, am I wrong?” She laughed, pushing him back.
Her colleague closed the doors. “I mean, no, but you can’t just say that!”
It’s been a while since Vince had some good sex. He used to get a lot of pussy from being the frontman of the local rock band, and he used to get a lot of dick when he’d pay rounds for all the guys at the gay club, but things weren’t going as well lately. Singing covers was becoming boring, so he tended to not show up at every gig, and just recently he had to cut his expenses for all his vices of the weekend because he found it hard to reach the end of the month.
However, that wasn’t a good enough excuse for her to freak out in front of some random guy who happened to be Vince’s current crush.
“Oops, I got carried away.” She giggled. “But you should go have a chat with him, chico.“
Vince peeked at the guy through the chink of the door, assorted in the menu. He sighed, flustered. “I can’t, dude, I just can’t...”
“Yes, you can!”
“Are you even sure he is bisexual, anyway?” Vince inquired.
“Yes!” Lola exclaimed, convinced.
“Well, what if he’s not? What if you’re confusing him with someone else?”
“It is him!”
“But how can you be so certain?!”
“Everybody I know told me, and my eyes work very well, too! He even has the ad in the paper, I’m telling you. How do you not know it’s him?”
In the meantime, Nikki approached the counter, squinting his eyes and straining his ears to try and understand what they were talking about over the blaring music. Were they talking about him? They ran away as soon as he walked in, so it didn’t seem like such a far-fetched idea. Hah, maybe he got jealous. Nikki snickered to himself. Couldn’t guarantee that he wouldn’t have laid a finger on her, especially if it’d involve good money.
“Uh…” Nikki cleared his voice. “Excuse me?”
“Oh, fuck.” Vince groaned, shaking his head. “I’m not goin’ out there.”
Lola put her hands on her hips and raised both her thick, black eyebrows at him in disappointment.
Vince rolled his eyes and exhaled loudly, throwing his head back. “Don’t look at me like that, Lola! I will die in front of him!” He lamented.
“Ugh, you’re sooo dramatic, Vinnie!”
“I’m not!”
“Yes, you are!” She pointed her finger at him. “And you should cut your crap before we lose that customer,” the girl pushed him against the door, “or else I will lock you in the freezer!”
“Oh, c’mon, again?!”
“Yeah, and it won’t be an accident this time!” Lola shoved Vince with one last effort through the threshold and closed the kitchen behind him. “Come back when you have the ordination, then we can talk!”
The surfer tumbled out of the staff-only area accompanied by the loud thwack of the doors, brushing his shirt with his hands and adjusting his cap, mumbling under his breath: “Ow, fuckin’ bruja… Hi, welcome!” His tone completely shifted and a 32-toothed smile decorated his face in the same sentence as soon as he saw the young ginger waiting in front of the bar.
Nikki smiled back politely. “Is… Everything okay?” He nodded vaguely in the cooking area’s direction.
Vince snorted. “Yeah, no big deal. Women, am I right?” He shrugged theatrically, raising his arms slowly to then lowering them with a sonorous puff of his hands when he made them fall along his hips.
“Yeah, I could tell ya a thing or two about that.” The ginger giggled, thinking about that night’s client. “Never met a normal one in my life!”
“Seriously! You should hear her sometimes… Anyway, what can I get you?”
He is... Pretty. Nikki never thought he’d say that about a man, but this boy’s beauty blew him away. His job required flexibility -money is money, he kept telling himself-, but he was sure the same sex did not attract him. Or at least he never questioned it, not until this guy here came into his life without being invited, with his warm skin tone and soft, kissable lips. He had the uniform’s shirt loosely unbuttoned and was wearing a reversed cap on his wavy, soft, bleach blond hair, which arrived a few inches under his shoulders. He looked rough due to sleep deprivation and the job he had, but if anything, that's what made him more attractive to Nikki, and what caused him to feel a new warm sensation rising from his stomach to his cheeks, then down to his legs, making them feel like jelly.
The waiter took Nikki’s ordination, asking him about extra sauces and drinks in the most cordial tone he ever heard from a fast-food chain employee, looking at him with his hand on his cheek and sparkly hazel eyes. Nikki ended up taking the greasiest, most expensive cheeseburger they had, not even bothering to tell the employee to not put pickles inside it even though he hated them with a passion.
“It’ll take me a sec for your drinks, so you can wait here before taking a seat.”
“Uh-huh, sure.” Nikki nodded. He was blinded by hunger and too distracted by ogling the dude’s ass when he skipped away to worry about it. He just hoped he didn’t make the boy feel too uncomfortable as soon as he turned around and realized he was staring at him.
Vince occupied himself with the drinks machine. His heart was still pounding in his chest, and he was starting to sweat, worried that the cups would slip from his grip and not only make a fool of himself in front of the guy he was crushing on but also make a mess he’d have to clean up, which wasn’t exactly one of his favorite tasks in there. The young man took a deep breath, dried his palms on a towel while listening to Lust for Life on the radio, collected the cups, and handed them to the customer.
“Coke and smoothie for you, sir”, Vince announced with a smile.
The ginger looked up at him and smiled back. “Thank you.” The lights hit his green eyes, which made them sparkle like the Californian sea during the golden hours. He watched the customer cross the room to reach his seat attentively, observing his long legs and fluent walk. His stout build contrasted with the grace and agility in his movements.
While tapping his foot to the beat of the music, Vince glanced over what the ginger scribbled down on his notebook. Phone numbers? That reminded him of Lola mentioning his… advertisement. What exactly did she mean by that? What exactly was this guy’s business? He was not, without a doubt, a door-to-door vacuum cleaner salesman. But I’m sure he could suck me off just as well as one of those things... Vince reflected while staring at the boy mindlessly playing with the straw of the smoothie with his tongue, too preoccupied with doing his own thing to notice how outrageously erotic that looked. Vince shook his head, feeling almost ashamed of himself for having that thought, only to turn around and disappear behind the kitchen doors, with Iggy Pop jamming on the chorus in his ears.
“He wants the super double McSlap-in-the-face or whatever, I can’t remember, you know the one. The most expensive thing we have.” He communicated to his colleague as soon as he walked in.
“Roger that!” Lola immediately flipped patties on the hot slab.
“So,” the waitress opened, “How did it go?”
Vince threw some bacon slices on the grill to help her. “Terrible” he sighed, “Horrible. I’m dead inside.”
Lola sneered.
“What?”
“I see you’re alive and well, chico.”
“Appearances are often deceiving, chica.”
“I’ve watched you from here. You handled that well. And yes, that means I heard you making fun of me, but I’ll go past that, because you men have a weird way of bonding over slagging women, and right then, you needed to bond with that man.”
“How… considerate of you... I guess.” Vince commented while arranging the first half of the ingredients between the burger buns.
“Yep. Count yourself lucky.”
A brief pause, only interrupted by Vince humming the song that was playing in the other room.
“I think I caught him staring at my ass, though.” He noted, after a while.
Lola stopped what she was doing, turned her head slowly to his co-worker. “Chico.”
“Huh?”
“Don’t play dumb! Don’t you understand? He’s already yours!”
“Oh my God, Lola, we just talked about this…” Flirting was never a problem for Vince when the time and place were right, which was usually a wild night out when everyone was drunk and horny. This was some dude at the restaurant he worked at who just wanted to have something to eat before going home.
“I know, and I’m sure he is the one!”
“Yeah, but I am not!”
“Just trust me! Don’t you trust me?”
“I mean… Of course, but…”
“Listen, I saw the way you look at him. I could never forgive myself if I didn’t even try to help you hook up with that guy. You can end your shift early. I don’t care. Just go get his ass now, or die trying. Okay?”
Her employee took a moment to reflect. “I can end early? Are you sure?”
“Mm-hmm. Right when you two walk out that door together, you are free. It looks like I won’t have much business at this hour anyway. I can manage alone. How’s that sound?”
Another pause.
“Fuck… You sold me. Just give me a moment for a cigarette, though. I need to think about it.”
“Sure. Just don’t run away, okay?”
“Hah, I won’t. I’m too scared of you to pull that shit! Thank you, Lola.” He was already on the other side of the door that led to the back of the building.
“You owe me one, chico!” Lola shouted in the hallway, where Vince already disappeared.
The opening of the kitchen doors interrupted Nikki’s frenetic writing in his doodle-filled notebook.
“Here you are, sir!” The waitress walked out of the counter with the tray in hand and greeted Nikki with the brightest smile. She had long black hair collected in a braid, chocolate skin, and voluptuous curves.
“Oh, thank you, miss.” Nikki smiled back, genuinely grateful for finally having something to bite on.
“I heard you argued with… him, before.” He chimed in before the lady walked away from him. Maybe I can make some extra cash tonight.
The tired waitress turned her head. “I beg your pardon?”
“I heard you and the guy fighting before.” Nikki reiterated as he dissected the burger to find the pickles and take them off of it. “Is everything good?”
“Hm, yeah, he’s fussy sometimes, but nothing I can’t handle.”
“Are you two… Together?” Nikki stressed the last word slowly, leaning forward, fixing his eyes on hers.
“Uh…” She stopped, completely spun toward him, confused. “I don’t think that’s for you to know, sir.”
“Oh, hah. Well… That’s fair.” Come on, Nikki, recover. He placed the elbows on the table, leaning even more forward. “Just... know that if you want to release… Some tension, I can be your man… for a reasonable price.” His talk was slow, smooth, alluring.
“So you’re the new gigolo in town? I know I’ve seen your face somewhere. Frankie, right?”
Surprised, Nikki raised his head slowly, wandering with his eyes, reflecting on what to say next. “Uh… Nikki. I guess word travels faster than I anticipated, but if anything it’s good for my business”. He pulled out a small flask from his pocket and poured the liquid into his glass of Coke. “But please, gigolo sounds so cold. Call me a… teacher’s pest.” He glanced again at the waitress, showing off his most charismatic smile and a wink.
She left out a chuckle. "Spare your flirting tactics with me, I'm not interested." Not only in your services, but men in general, she wanted to add.
"Oh, come on, darling." He tilted his head, smiling, leaning back on the leather couch, extending his arm on top of it, and crossing his legs under the table. "I can give you a first-time discount!"
She was already on her way back to the employees-only area. "It'll be $7.89. Enjoy your meal!" Lola replied, without turning, pushing the doors to disappear behind them.
“But wait! …Ah, damn.” Nikki shrugged. Oh well, sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. While consuming his fierce meal, the boy thought about the male waiter, whose memory gave him flutters in his chest that he wasn’t sure wanted to acknowledge, and humored, far back in his mind, even if for a fraction of a moment, the idea of actually trying his luck with him.
Meanwhile, Vince was able to clear his thoughts and decided to just go for it. Better regret something you did rather than something you didn’t, he said to himself while taking a swig - one-third of a bottle - of the alcohol he had in his bag. Such things necessitate bravery, but not the kind that gets you into fights - that’s easy. This was bravery in the face of rejection, and Vince couldn’t have done it sober.
Van Halen’s new single was blaring through the speakers of the dining hall.
“Hey, dude.” Vince tried to get the boy's attention as he walked outside the counter.
Nikki raised his head and nodded. “I only have twenty, but you guys can keep the change...”
“Don’t sweat it. It’s on the house.” Vince interrupted him. I hope it's okay with Lola.
“What...”
Vince shook his head and puffed away his tension. This was his opportunity. "Listen, man." He sat down in front of Nikki, looking him in the eyes, "I have to ask you a weird question just so I can prove my co-worker wrong. A bet, if you will. She says… She says you're the guy from West Hollywood who's getting paid for sex with the ad in The Recycler. Dudes, chicks, everything in between… As long as it's a good price. Is it true?" Vince had nothing to lose and everything to gain: he just had to give it a shot.
Nikki blinked, hesitant. "Maybe." A temporary pause. "Is… anyone interested?"
Vince slapped a fifty-dollar bill on the table. "Maybe."
Nikki’s brow furrowed. Okay, he didn’t expect that. He knew a guy would’ve eventually come at him - that’s what he advertised - he just thought that day would've taken way longer to come.
“What… Do you mean?” Nikki understood very well what that meant, he just wasn’t able to process it, still.
"Let's cut to the chase, okay? You have something I want, and I can pay you for that. We don't have to meet again if you don't want to, just… Can I have you for tonight?" His voice was deep, vibrating with desire.
Nikki’s breath was suspended in his throat. This would've been his first time with a guy. There’s always a first time for everything, after all… But it didn’t have to be. He could’ve just run away with the fucker’s money, too.
Vince added another fifty bucks. The pressure was rising, both in his blood and inside his pants now. "Please."
Nikki looked at the money, at the young man who was soliciting him, then at the money again. He would've already accepted - free dinner and extra cash? Hell yeah!-, but he just wanted to see how far he could push his luck. "Add another fifty and I'm yours." He replied defiantly, leaning on his back, crossing his arms.
Vince narrowed his eyes, baring his teeth. "You snake..." He was all about getting into the gigolo's business no matter what, but his wallet begged to differ.
"Them's the rules."
A pause.
"A hundred or nothing."
"Fifty."
"Ten."
"Forty-five."
"Fifteen."
"Thirty."
"Oh, just take my money already!" Vince rolled his eyes, adding the thirty dollars to the total amount.
"You've got yourself a deal", Nikki smirked as he reached for the money with his hand.
Vince blocked him and took the cash off the table. "Uh-uh", he said, waving his index finger in front of the ginger's face. "Don’t play with fire. You think you get to run away with my money?" The blond got up and grabbed the other by the wrist. “Follow me”.
The service door closed behind Vince's back while he was pushing Nikki out into the filthy alley, among the trash bags and rats. He grabbed Nikki by the waist, then got on his toes to meet his lips with his own. Nikki was surprised but didn't fight it, slowly opening his mouth to let Vince's tongue taste his, in a breathtaking, impetuous kiss filled with pure lust. It's fine, the gigolo kept repeating to himself in his head, just pretend it's a girl. Vince groaned in Nikki's mouth, glad to finally satisfy his craving, to be himself.
Nikki had to step back to catch his breath, and looked at Vince in the eyes, glistening under the cold white neon light. He was met with a worried, almost scared expression that didn’t require any clarification. Nikki moved his gaze down on Vince's lips, smirking, and started biting and sucking on them, pulling him closer by grabbing his hips. Pretend he's a girl. His one-night lover relaxed in Nikki's kiss, smiling back, grinding against him, and slowly pushing him towards the dumpster. He frantically untucked Nikki's shirt to run his fingers on his bare skin, to which Nikki shivered at each stroke, without letting go of his lips for one second, in a crescendo of intensity and synchronized heartbeats.
Vince finally detached himself from Nikki’s mouth, to kiss, lick, bite, and suck on his neck, leaving teeth marks on the soft olive skin, drowning in his alluring danger-flavored scent. Nikki jumped in surprise. His eyes rolled back, a moan left his mouth, feeling more aroused than he’d ever been in his life. He surrendered himself completely to Vince, who in the meantime unzipped Nikki’s jeans and slipped his frantic hands inside them. He’s a girl, he’s a girl, he’s a girl…
“Get on your knees, pretty boy”, Nikki whispered in-between heavy breaths. He couldn’t take it any longer. He couldn’t pretend anymore. All he ever wanted at that moment was to be sucked off by the man who was in front of him and no one else. He would have had an existential crisis, questioning his sexuality and wondering where it all went wrong, where and when the line between business and pleasure became so blurry if he hadn’t been so damn horny about crossing that threshold that he couldn’t think at all. Nikki didn’t care; he’d just have to deal with it later.
Vince immediately obliged, suddenly feeling weak in his legs, as if he was under a spell cast by Nikki’s bewitchingly deep, husky voice. He pulled down Nikki’s pants and took his time to feast his eyes on what was revealed. He only said, “Holy shit...” in a soft voice.
Vince raised his head towards Nikki, who was surprisingly shy for a guy whose profession is being a playboy, with his red cheeks and stiff posture and nervous lip biting.
“Something wrong, bad boy?” Vince provoked playfully, head tilted to the side. He loved when he could make boys like Nikki break down their facade of cockiness.
Nikki couldn’t think straight. “I uh… sorry, I just…” Maybe we shouldn’t do this, he wanted to tell him, but his brain wasn’t capable of forming any words. What was he afraid of, judgment? Of whom, others? As if it was ever a problem for him his whole life. Judgment of the other fellow man, for his… performance? The guy in front of him on his knees, eager to get a dick in his mouth, didn’t seem to mind.
Nikki was visibly flustered now, his hands on his face, he didn’t know what to respond. He took another deep breath and decided to tell the truth. Not all of it, but his client needed to understand what they were getting themselves into. “I dunno man, I… this is my first time with a guy, y’know.” he blurted out eventually.
“Oh yeah? What an honor!” Vince’s eyes widened. His tone was too enthusiastic, to the limits of being fake. Condescending, even.
Nikki had to restrain himself to punch the twink in the face.
This was a mistake.
“Ha, figured you’d be happy to know that.” He replied, dry, raising an eyebrow. Nikki wasn’t sure how to feel in that situation: blondie here was testing his patience, but his sass intrigued him in such a manner that now he felt compelled to fuck him senseless to teach him a lesson. Well, I changed my tune fast, Nikki thought to himself.
The client got up, laid a hand on Nikki’s pounding chest. “There’s a first time for everything.” He sounded oddly understanding, which was reassuring. “Just… try to relax, okay?”
Nikki rested his wrists on the pelmet’s lid behind him after arching his back. He nodded. “Okay.”
As he kneeled again, his part-time lover’s fingers traced through his stomach, making Nikki’s skin crawl most enticingly.
There was something special about this guy…
The blond spat on his hand and started jerking Nikki off. He was already almost rock hard. He went with gentle, long strokes from base to tip, brushing his lips and tongue against it, teasing him, looking up to see his blissful expression with the eyes closed, the lips slightly apart and the head thrown back. Vince stripped him down even further and caressing his thighs and groin, trying to calm him down more, which kind of worked. Vince continued with slow and wide licks, up and down, up and down, covering Nikki’s cock in his saliva, feeling the warmth increasing. Nikki was a panting and groaning mess, clearly trying to hold himself back. Vince was running out of patience too, feeling his trousers getting so tight he had to untie them, so he just put Nikki’s dick in his mouth. Carefully but steadily, the blond sucked from the tip and slid forward on the shaft, in an up and down motion. He could feel the grip on his hair getting stricter and hear the groans getting louder, turning him on even more, if that was possible.
“Does it feel good?” Vince wanted to know.
Nikki’s mind was still having some difficulties registering what was happening, although he couldn’t deny he was enjoying it. He nodded. “Keep going.”
The blond responded by accelerating the rhythm, touching himself in the meantime. He took short pauses to catch his breath from time to time, to then go back to Nikki, who was twitching inside his throat, unable to say anything other than “Oh fuck… Goddammit… Fucking hell, you’re good…” in between pants and gasps. Vince went down on him even harder, stroking and licking until Nikki muttered, “Fuck, I think I’m...” and came into his mouth a second later with another loud groan, nearly choking Vince. He withdrew from Nikki in a coughing fit, with cum drooling all over his chin.
“Hijo de puta! You could’ve at least told me, y’know!” The smirk that developed on Vince’s face betrayed the rage that filled his gruff voice.
“My bad.” Nikki apologized in between quick breaths, his legs trembling, “I didn’t expect it to come that fast, either...”. It wasn’t really out of empathy, but embarrassment for not being able to last longer. Plus, it was always better to keep the client on his good side. He still had to get paid, after all. Nikki rarely genuinely cared for any impact his actions - voluntary or not - had in other people’s lives; this time, he was sure, was not one of the unusual occasions.
Vince got up on his feet, cleaned his face with his arm, and licked his cum-filled fingers. “It’s okay.” He approached near and looked up at the ginger. “Kinda adds to the thrill.” His lips touched Nikki’s once again in a sloppy kiss, while his hands reached into his back pocket to slide the dollar bills into Nikki’s hand, who swiftly slid them inside his jeans.
Nikki lifted Vince’s chin in between his thumb and index finger, pushing his weight against him to get even closer, groaning, tasting himself on Vince’s tongue. Girls would sometimes make out with him right after they sucked him off (just like he kissed the girls right after he went down on them), so he was used to it. He found it kind of hot, even: nothing like letting your partner know their flavor.
Vince’s breaths harmonized with Nikki’s in sharp inhales that extruded desire and an almost animalistic instinct of hunger for each other. He tried to wrap his leg around Nikki’s, trying to reach the dumpster’s edge behind them for more balance, to which the other responded by wrapping his arm around his lower back to lift him. That’s when Vince let out a moan of ecstasy in Nikki’s mouth, feeling once again the blood rushing down his crotch.
Nikki loosened the grip on his lover’s jaw to fumble around his chest, finding a way down to the last button of the grease-covered shirt to undo it and slowly crawl his fingers on the naked skin, refusing to break the kiss. It was small comfort in that scenario, which was yet fresh and unfamiliar to him.
Vince grabbed Nikki’s hand and guided it to go lower, inviting him to feel the heat that was rising under his clothes.
“Oh, sorry.” the blond whispered, “Do I need to pay extra for that?”
Nikki moved away at the same time to look him in the eyes, his lips parted, the eyelids half-closed, his cheeks flushed. “Don’t worry.” He breathed, touching the other’s lips with his, “This one’s on the house.”
Nikki figured it wasn’t the first time he jerked someone off (even though that someone had always been himself by far), so it shouldn’t have been that difficult, right?
Slowly, he stroked, feeling the warmth of the shaft from tip to base, observing the blond’s reaction to his touch, who gave out a soft whimper burying his face in his lover’s collarbone, pressing his lips against his neck, grinding against his body.
The ginger pressed his lips against blondie’s ear, inebriated by the smell of sea salt and cigarettes of his hair. “You like that?”
His delightfully raspy and lascivious voice, so muffled and close, traveled through Vince’s body, generating a shiver going down from his shoulders and neck, through his spine. That pulse of involuntary energy made Vince inhale sharply and squeeze Nikki’s hand.
“Yes. Yes, continue.” Vince murmured, his cheek resting on his neck.
Nikki adjusted his wrist for a better grip, raising the speed slowly. He went on with the motion, feeling his client twitching every time he passed his thumb over the moist tip. Pants and grunts spilled from both mouths as the intensity of the moment increased, praising and reaching for each other’s lips to bite on.
Vince felt like he was about to cum in his hand, sensing the familiar tingling running down from his head to his legs and getting ready for that sweet release. When all of a sudden, his eyes opened wide, a lucid thought crossed his mind: If I ruin another uniform, she’s gonna kick my ass!
The blond detached himself from the ginger, grabbed him by the hair, and pushed him down, shoving his throbbing cock down the boy’s throat, cumming in his mouth.
Nikki tasted dick before he could even register it in his brain. He spat out the load, coughing and rubbing his tongue, sure that he gulped some of it too. He dropped to his knees for the shock, glancing up at the guy who outplayed him with a flabbergasted, betrayed look. What the fuck was that about?! Nikki wanted to ask, but he could only mimic the first three words.
“What? Don’t give me that look. You did the same to me!” Vince giggled like a child who pulled a prank on his classmate.
“Not… even… a warning?”
“Yeah, I kinda forgot about that. Sorry.” Vince shrugged, delivering his best shit-eating grin while offering his hand to the ginger.
Nikki grudgingly accepted the help, shooting a scornful glare at the blond. “I know you’re not fucking sorry, you dirty fucking faggot--” he breathed through his teeth as he rose to his feet and drew their bodies closer together. The disparaging tone he used contradicted the smile he bore with the words.
Vince’s knuckles hit the gigolo’s jaw before he could finish talking. “Bit ironic of you to say, when your mouth is still dirty of my cum, don’t you think?” he retorted with a sneer, staring at the face of anger, tilting his head provocatively.
Nikki scoffed, stroking his chin. The punch wasn't that strong, but the little bastard got to the spot where even a baby could make it hurt. “Touché. Guess I won’t beat your ass tonight.”
“You can kiss it if you want to.” Vince dragged a cigarette out of the packet with his lips, without batting an eye. “Do you have a light?”
Nikki and Vince stood beside each other under the flicker of the service door light, surrounded by the smell of gone-off frying oil, the smoke from their cigarettes. The only sound to be heard were cars speeding by in the distance.
“Hey, so, uh… Was… Was it good for you?” Nikki broke the silence.
At that question, Vince arched his eyebrows and exhaled, making the cigarette smoke exit through his nostrils faster, creating two gray lines of vapor in front of them that dissipated in the air, like fog out of season. So this was his first time, huh? That explained his hesitancy to accept his solicitation. But why choose to offer your services to everyone and not just women? Did he really need the money, or was his “work” merely a front to meet more dudes to sleep with? Maybe both? Vince didn’t know, but as much as he wanted to have those doubts cleared, he set them aside and responded to the question earnestly.
“It was fuckin’ great.” He sighed, looking his lover of the hour in the eyes. “You were great.” A hint of a smile in his expression as he added the second part, his voice growing faint at the end of the phrase, leaving the words suspended.
“Oh,” Nikki felt his face turning red as those words exited the blond’s mouth, making him turn his gaze to the ground. “I, uh…” He flickered the cigarette to make the accumulated ash fall on the ground. A tight-lipped smile formed across his face, curved askew on his left cheek, creating two creases on his skin at the angle of his lips. “Thanks.” He uttered in the end, raising his head and bringing the cigarette to his mouth. “It was good for me, too.” Another sentence left floating in the smoky air.
They got quiet for a moment, kicking pebbles or junk lying around. Sometimes one would glance at the other, attempting to meet his gaze, just to deflect it and pretend it wasn't intentional.
“Sorry about earlier,” Nikki murmured hastily, breathing smoke.
“What?”
Nikki swallowed, then cleared his voice. “I said… I’m sorry.” Another puff of the cigarette. “About the faggot thing. I shouldn’t have said that.”
“I know, it just felt good to hear it twice.” Vince accompanied that response with a 32-toothed smug smile.
Nikki rolled his eyes, wondering why he still hadn’t beaten the tan out of the twerp yet. He already let him ruin the major selling point of his merchandise, now he could take the piss off him too?
The blond returned serious and raised his shoulders. “It’s whatever, man. I’m used to it.” He had to learn to fend for himself in places where people like him should’ve been safe. A pretty, self-absorbed and sexually confused asshole wasn’t the worst person Vince had to give the right hook to. He inhaled some more nicotine.
The ginger imitated him, touching the bruise that was already swollen. “It fucking hurts, by the way.”
“Good. That means we’re even.”
“No hard feelings?” Nikki turned towards him in search of forgiveness.
Only inside my pants… “No hard feelings.” Vince nodded, meeting his gaze back.
They went silent again.
Vince caught the gigolo looking up, where the clouds were lazily passing by the crescent moon, peering behind the city skyline.
“Wow…” the ginger murmured under a puff of smoke.
“Hm? What is it?”
Nikki looked at him and nodded at the sky. “The moon looks so cool tonight.”
Vince raised an eyebrow. Where did this sentimentalism come out of, after having paid for sex among the garbage bins outside his workplace, of all scenarios? He looked in the same direction as the lad he was still sharing a smoke with. Vince never really stopped to look for the poetry behind his surroundings, he usually left that sappy shit to girls, but he had to admit the sky had its charm that night. The clouds now had moved away completely and left the moon dominating the pitch-black atmosphere.
“You can see it even better at sea.” Vince puffed his cigarette one last time before throwing it away. “Have you ever been there?”
Nikki shook his head and chucked away his cigarette in turn. “Not yet. Since I moved to LA, anyway.”
“Oh, you don’t know what you’re missing. Hot chicks everywhere, all year-’round.” The surfer chuckled, which made the ginger smile along.
A conversation about nothing under the stars later, Nikki let out a yawn. “Well, I better fuck off now.” He chuckled in a hoarse voice. “It's getting late."
“Yeah, I should get back in, too”, Vince replied. A wave of melancholy washed over him, as it often did when he had to part ways with a one-night stand, especially as good as this. But he had long accepted to treasure those moments, not remember the people he made those memories with, or hope he could ever see them again. He turned on his heels before that feeling had the chance to sink in any deeper.
“Wait! I… I almost forgot.” Nikki grabbed the blond by the arm. "I don't even know your name." He never had the desire to learn the names of his flings or clients, yet that information felt like the most indispensable thing in the world.
Vince turned around. The ginger's eyes were glistening. "Vince. What's yours?"
“I’m Nikki.” He pulled out his notebook from the back pocket, scribbled something on a blank page, and handed it to Vince. “Call me?” You’ll never know that this guy could become a patron. Nikki hoped that was the case, but for reasons beyond business, despite what he kept telling himself.
Vince examined the phone number scribbled on the piece of paper. His lips shaped into a smile. “You can count on it.”
The gigolo grabbed Vince by his collar and pushed their lips together, kissing him until both of them ran out of breath. “It was a pleasure to meet you, Vince.”
The blond blushed like a schoolboy as he heard his name pronounced by him. “Yeah, it was nice for me too… Nikki.” His voice rose three octaves as he uttered the phrase, which Nikki must have noticed, judging by the grin on his face, making matters even worse.
“Anytime you want... you know you can have me”, Nikki whispered in Vince’s ear. He took a few steps back while maintaining eye contact before turning away and disappearing into the shadows.
Nikki collapsed on his bed, his mind running through the events of that night, which felt like a fever dream. Was it worth it? A voice in his head kept asking him. After meeting Vince, Nikki thought that it was.

Here's a link to my masterpost.
“So what do you want to watch tonight?” It seemed like an odd question to ask a millennia old demon, and yet, this wasn’t the weirdest thing you had asked. You turned to see Embo sitting on the couch, his wings folded neatly behind him and his tail laid across his lap. He blinked, his hand buried in the freshly made popcorn. “We have horror flicks or rom-coms.”
“Horror seems… a bit ironic, yes?” He snorted, before gesturing for you to hand him the holomovies. He parsed through the titles, before handing you one.
“Dawn of the Damned, again?” You rolled your eyes as you extracted the film from the case.
“It is funny.” He shoveled a mouthful of popcorn into his mouth. You weren’t sure what good eating did for him - as you weren’t entirely sure he had a corporeal form. But he seemed to enjoy popcorn, oddly enough.
“Yeah. I’m not surprised you’d find this funny.” You put the film chip into the player, and eased down onto the couch. You reached for the popcorn, but he pulled the bowl away from you. “Hey, don’t be greedy now.”
He relented, but only barely. The lights dimmed of their own accord and the title image appeared on screen. You went to take a handful of popcorn, before a knock on the door interrupted you. You cursed and scrambled up.
“Make yourself scarce.” You tried shooing him off, but rather than physically moving, he just possessed you again. You cursed as you stumbled toward the door and then stopped to smooth out your pajamas. You opened the door and your heart sank to the floor.
“F-Father Cad! I… I wasn’t expecting you!” You stuttered, your gaze meeting with that of the Father of your parish. He tipped his hat to you, and his red gaze met yours.
“Hello dere… I’m just here t’ check in on ya.” He drawled in that thick accent of his, and he reached out to touch your shoulder. Embo did not seem to like this, but you ignored him. “Ya haven’t come t’ church in a few weeks.”
“Oh…” You had tried, but Embo couldn’t enter a church without a good deal of pain. You bit your lip, trying to come up with a quick excuse. “I… haven’t been feeling well, is all.”
“I see… wouldja like me to pray over you, darlin’?”
No! No prayers! Do not even think about it!
You shook your head at this, noting the slight quirk of Cad’s browridge. “I’m getting better, thank you.”
There was a pause as Cad’s glance extended over the entirety of your apartment; he clasped his hands behind his back.
“Darlin’.... There is another reason I was called.”
“Oh?” The hairs on the back of your neck stood on end, and you had this sinking feeling that things were about to go wrong. You glanced around the room nervously, trying to see if there was anything that could reveal Embo’s presence to him. The last thing you needed was for Cad to try to exorcise you.
“Yer neighbors called… dey were worried about de noises comin’ out o’ here at night. Happen t’ know what dey’re talkin’ ‘bout?”
“N-no, father.” You lied. Embo had an affinity for fucking the hell out of you at night, and you were sure those noises were quite alarming. But it was only sex. There wasn’t much demonic screaming or anything… most of the time.
“Dey say yer speakin’ in tongues… and dat you aren’t alone. Dey swear they can see a winged silhouette through the curtains. Darlin’, is dere a demon livin’ here?” He asked, his tone low and deadly serious. You frantically shook your head as he backed you further into the room.
“Th-that’s absurd, father! Have you ever heard of such a th-.” Your butt hit the arm of the couch, startling you from your thoughts.
“I sense an evil in this house, darlin’.” He pressed closer, his gaze meeting yours; his eyes glowed, betraying how concerned. “Is dere a demon?”
You paused, before slowly nodding. Cad shook his head at this.
“And how did dat happen?”
“My friends summoned him.” You muttered. “He… decided to attach to me. My - uh friends got the worse end of the deal, though.”
“Are dey dead?” You nodded. “Where are dey buried?”
“Backyard. I didn’t… it wasn’t me. And it wasn’t Embo, either.”
“You named de demon?” He frowned at this.
“No! That’s his name! If I had named him, I would have chosen something cooler - like Aziphandel.” Your hand, of its own accord, smacked your cheek. You winced and rubbed your cheek with your other hand. “Hey! Don’t be a cunt!”
Cad moved back for a moment, scratching his chin. “When dey told me ya had a demon here, I wasn’t expecting dem to be tellin’ de truth…”
“Well, I wasn’t expecting to get possessed and yet here we are.” You shrugged as Cad shoved a hand into his pocket. He rustled around, before producing a hand-held holy book. Your body recoiled, falling backward onto the couch cushions. Cad pressed the holy book toward you, and you scrambled to the other end of the couch, trying to get as far away from it as possible. Embo was chattering what you could only assume were demonic curses in your head.
Cad reached out with his other hand, planting it on the center of your forehead. He closed his eyes, and began to chant.
"Adjure te, spiritus nequissime, per Deum omnipotentem."
Stop him!
"Adjure te, spiritus nequissime, per Deum omnipotentem."
STOP HIM! Embo howled in your mind, before suddenly being wrenched out of it. When you opened your eyes, you spotted Embo standing on the other end of the couch, his fangs bared and his wings spread open as if to make himself look bigger. Cad’s eyes went wide as he looked the demon up and down.
“Well, dis is a first.”
“Embo’s harmless, he really is.” You tried to advocate for him, though Cad didn’t seem interested in listening. “He just fucks me and we hang out, ya know…”
“Yer fucking a demon!! No wonder I can’t exorcise him completely!” Cad snapped and Embo replied with a haughty chuckle as he crossed his arms over his chest. “Yer given’ him de energy to stay in dis plane.”
“I can’t help it! He’s good!” You whined as Embo approached, putting his hands on your arms. He pulled you back into his body, and you moaned.
“I am good, Father. I get her screaming all night long.” He purred as he nuzzled against your cheek. “Do I not?
“He does.” You replied, your voice quivering as his hands wandered down your body. His hand found your cunt, and he gave it a rub.
“Let us show the ‘good’ Father what fun we have together...”
“Absolutely not. I cannot allow dis-.”
“It is not your domain, Father. It is mine. But good try.” He leaned down, his long, wicked tongue flicking out to lick up your neck. You shivered and moaned, leaning your head to the side to give him better access. Cad shifted uncomfortably. “Your Father has a secret, little toy… I can smell his arousal for you.”
“W-what?” You met Cad’s gaze, shivering as Embo gave your cunt another rub.
“He’s de peddler o’ lies, darlin’. Ignore him.” Cad growled through gritted teeth.
Embo was not so easily dissuaded. With a flick of his hand, your legs were wrenched open; he took a claw and dragged it down your body, ripping apart your pajamas. They peeled away, of their own volition, revealing your naked body to Cad. His eyes went wide, and his mouth hung agape.
“Look at how wet she is, Father.” Embo purred as he drew a claw around your pebbled nipple. You moaned, leaning your head back onto Embo’s shoulder as he lifted you up, keeping you on display for Cad. “Will you not revel in sin with us, Father?”
Cad approached, the expression on his face unreadable; he gestured for you, and Bo was eager to oblige, though you weren’t sure why. Cad took you into his arms, before gingerly setting you down.
“Sit dere, darlin’...”
Before you could object, Cad had rushed at Embo; Embo, seemingly allergic to the priest, stumbled back until Cad had trapped him against the wall. Cad pulled out the holy book again, but Embo responded by swatting it away with his tail, hissing at the pain it caused him.
“You are embarrassing yourself, father. Besides, your secret is out. Your intentions with her are just as sinful as mine.” He chuckled, his jovial countenance immediately changing when Cad thrust a hand out and wrapped it around Embo’s neck. You weren’t sure how effective it was - mainly, you weren’t sure if Embo actually had to breathe - but the gesture seemed to surprise the demon all the same.
“Let’s make a deal, demon.”
“You know that is dangerous.” Embo smirked, and Cad’s grip tightened. Despite the fact that you knew Embo was strong enough to throw Cad off, he didn’t. Maybe Cad’s holiness was just strong enough to neutralize Embo’s hellish energy.
“What will it take fer ya t’ leave her alone? I’ll do anythin’.”
“Anything?” Embo cocked a browridge at this. “Well, then… I have the perfect solution.”
“Out wit’ it.”
“I think a threesome would suffice.” He looked over Cad’s shoulder at you and winked. “What do you think, little toy?”
You nodded eagerly. Your cunt was throbbing, begging for penetration and drooling at the prospect of getting it. Your nipples were pebbled from the attention you gave them while the two were negotiating. Cad’s gaze flicked down your form, and he swallowed hard.
“You’ll leave ‘er alone after dat?”
“You have my word.” Embo hummed, before sending you a wink. You smiled as Cad shook his head and sighed.
“Fine.”
“Brilliant.” Embo pushed him off and appeared beside you, slicking his finger between the lips of your cunt. He was careful with his claws, having learned prior that they could seriously damage you (you decided after that incident that fingering was off-limits). His tongue flicked out to lick at your neck as he spread your slick around your cunt, and along your thighs.
You glanced over at Cad, watching as he pulled off his clerical collar and set it aside. He was shaking his head, grumbling under his breath about how wrong this was. You knew for a fact, however, that Father Cad was not as holy and innocent as he claimed. The confessional booth had seen its share of sin… perhaps it was fucking you alongside a demon that was the problem.
Embo vanished for a moment, and you were lifted into the air long enough for him to appear beneath you. You nestled in his lap, moaning as he instantaneously bottomed out within you. The heat of his cock, once unbearable, was oddly arousing inside you. Maybe you were just cock-whipped… either way, he felt damn near incredible in you.
You watched as Cad pulled off his shirt, then his pants, casting glances over at the two of you as Embo slowly rocked his hips. When Cad was naked, you noticed that he was already rock hard. So Embo wasn’t lying… you wondered, then, if Cad actually thought the reports of demons were mere lunacy, and he was using them as a way to get in your pants. If that was the case, you supposed he was getting his wish.
He tentatively approached, watching as Embo drew his claws along your shoulder, digging in hard enough to draw blood. He chattered in his ancient tongue as he licked up the beads of blood trailing down your skin. He jacked his hips up into you harder.
“Where do ya want me?” Cad asked, finally coming to stand before you.
“Cunt.” Your voice said, though it was not truly you who said it. Cad shot Embo a glare.
“Don’t do dat.”
“He’s… he’s not wrong.” You told Cad. “There’s… there’s plenty of room. I want… I want it.”
Cad blinked, and Embo reached out, locking his hand around Cad’s wrist; Embo’s eyes glowed. “Come on, Father… do it.”
“Yer powers of suggestion don’t work on me, hellspawn.” He growled, yanking his arm away. He bared his teeth at Embo, but Embo didn’t seem to care. “I’m gettin’ t’ it, ‘kay?”
Cad knelt down, slipping a finger into your already-occupied cunt. You gasped as you stretched to accommodate it, and Cad hummed.
“Are ya sure, darlin’?”
“Please, Father! Please!”’
“Alright, alright…” He gave his cock a few pumps, before probing at your cunt with the head of his cock. You cried out and Embo hissed as his cock slipped inside, stretching you out farther than you had stretched before. Embo’s pace didn’t relent as Cad eased in, one inch at a time. You whimpered, reaching for Cad, and he leaned down to let you wrap your arms around his neck.
“F-Father…. Oh God!” You cried out. You kissed him passionately; he kissed you back without hesitation, his tongue slipping into your mouth and tangling with yours. He sheathed himself within you completely, and you whimpered against his lips. You were completely stuffed. Cad’s hands tangled in your hair as Embo gripped your chest. “Fuck me! Fuck me!”
Slowly, Cad began to thrust, matching Embo’s tempo; Cad moaned at the sensation, and leaned down to kiss you again. Embo just growled.
They fucked into your cunt, their hands wandering over your form. Ecstasy shot through your body, building the delicious tension of orgasm within you. You whimpered, opening your mouth to try to tell them, but found that your voice wouldn’t come out. You reached up to touch your neck, only to feel a hand… which made five hands on your body. No… wait… six. Seven? You glanced down, not seeing any more hands than the four that were supposed to be there. But you could feel them probing at your asshole and gripping your thighs and tracing your clit. You rolled your head back, glancing at Embo, who offered you another wink.
“Go on now… cum.” His voice rang out in your head. You cried out, your cry rising in pitch and volume as your walls clenched around them. The fire in your belly spilled over, flooding every nerve with euphoria. You slumped back against Embo, your body limp and your vision black.
Cad and Embo continued to fuck into you until you came to. When feeling returned to your body, Cad pulled out, his cock still hard and yearning.
“Dere… happy now?”
“Oh no, dear Father… we are not done yet.” Embo chuckled as his body merged with yours, possessing you again as he had some many times now. He shoved your consciousness to the side, allowing you to feel everything without being able to take control.
“This is what you desire, yes? Shall we both take his cock?”
“Yes.” You moaned, and he chuckled.
“Good little toy.”
You - but not really you - reached out to take Cad’s cock into your hand. You gave it a long, slow stroke, reveling in the feeling of your slick as it lubed up his cock. You gave it a teasing lick, before moving toward the couch and shoving your ass into the air.
“Fuck my ass, Father.” It was your voice but… not. Cad could tell this, and he growled.
“I ain’t fuckin’ ya. I’m fuckin’ her.”
“We are one in the same now, Father. She can feel it. She wants it too.” You purred, wiggling your ass. Cad brought a heavy hand down on an asscheek, and you lurched forward with a yelp.
“Keep yer mouth shut. Got it?”
“Yes, Father.”
Cad drew the head of his cock around your asshole; you weren’t sure how, but you felt yourself getting lubed up as he did so. Then, he pressed in. At the same time, you felt your cunt stretch around some noncorporeal cock.
“Fuck!!” You cried out in your mind. Soon, you had taken Cad to the hilt, and he hissed.
“Yer so tight, darlin’.”
“Yes, Father, yes! Fuck me!” You cried out and Cad was happy to oblige, jacking his hips into you at a rough, slow pace. The non-corporeal cock in your cunt started moving as well, thrusting much faster. The two cocks rubbed against the sensitive wall of flesh separating your ass from your cunt, and you let out a howl. Cad cursed, seemingly able to feel the other cock as well.
Your hand went to your clit, rubbing circled on the sensitive bud. The sensations were more than you could keep up with. Your head was spinning. Spikes of pleasure shot to your cunt, which, in turn, caused the warm to bubble in your belly. Your entire body shook, alight with arousal.
Cad smacked your ass. The non-corporeal form smacked your clit. Cad gripped your asscheeks in your hands. The non-corporeal form pinched your nipples.
Finally, Cad’s pace grew erratic. Yours did too. Cad gave it a few more thrusts, before grinding his hips against your ass. He came, filling your ass up with his warm, sticky cum. You felt cum shoot into your cunt as well, and that did you in. With a howl, you orgasmed, your body arching in a way that was unnatural, your eyes rolling back. You chanted in ancient tongues. And you squirted, over and over again, soaking your couch and Cad with your fluids. Fireworks burst in your head as ecstasy coursed through your veins.
When you came to, Cad was stroking your cheek. “Good girl…”
Embo extracted himself from you, and appeared nearby. Cad glanced over at him, eyeing him with much less malice than before.
“You gonna keep yer word?”
“Absolutely not.” Embo chuckled as he crossed his arms over his chest. “You cannot tell me that you believed a lord of the dark. Lying is sort of our thing.”
“No… I didn’t believe you’d keep your word.” Cad shook his head, and you sat up. Cad glanced over, his gaze full of mischief. “How much longer until you can go again?”
“How about now?” You replied, reaching out so Embo could join with you again.

Apparently 6.4” Russian guy in a black hoodie is not what you expect to bang on your door at that hour. He’s been fuming in Russian ever since. And he ate all our Doritos. Stole nado’s Porsche. We gathered he’s mad at Nado but not sure why. Got him to at least talk to Sergei

Nado the man: well yea. went out for a drink. Kuny was being boring and went home. Talked to her and we got along and well.
Bradygunz: did you at least pay for her drink? Also uncool bro
Nado the man: I paid. Fuck off.

Prongstar: dropped the ball with Logan then @dumodad, eh?
Sergei_81: I support grounding Nado.
LoganTremblayzzz: @prongstar like lily didn’t ground you when you came home sans shirt and with kasey’s jeans on backwards Also I never had girls in my room after curfew. Also don’t have curfew.

Nadotheman: I’m older kasey and shut up
Ollibear: Nado you really have to apologize.
Timmyforrealz: @nadotheman this is serious. Olli just ate a box of moomin cookies. Nado please fix your relationship. Olli can’t handle his parents fighting. He’s legit green looking. He’s eating junk food. I’m scared.
Nadotheman: Olli tell them you were there. She came on to me. She never mentioned Kuny
Ollibear: I’m not getting involved. Also you owe me $432 for the champagne. And he introduced you before he left.
Prongstar: 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

———
Sunday 7.56 am
Nado: Olli please is he with you guys? I need to speak to him.
Olli: I’m sorry he doesn’t wanna see you. Please give him some time.
Nado: 💔
Sunday 8.02 am
Nado: I’m not gonna leave. I’m parked outside and you’ve got to call the cops to get me to leave. You’re my best friend dammit and I’m sorry. Fuck please just talk to me!
Kuny: don’t want talk. Is hard. I’m smart in Russian. English stupid.
Nado: wait then get Olli or Timmy to type it. Just tell me how I can make it up to you.
Kuny: hi Nado. Olli here, I’m typing for him. Timmy is trying to salvage our remote.
I’m trying to type and understand ok? Kuny knows his cousin is (I’m paraphrasing here - I refuse to call a woman that) sociable and he’s mostly upset cause he’s worried about you. Okay he didn’t mean that - he means that he’s upset you slept with her but he’s also worried cause he says you fall in love too quickly. (You two are idiots - he’s trying to protect your feelings) he does not want me to type that. But he broke our remote. But he’s also mad you slept with her after he said not to. And he claims he did tell you. How much did you two drink? When I picked up the tab you’d only had a few bottles of champagne and you gave most of that to the hen party in the next booth. Also he’s mad you had sex - god, Nado - the living room, really? At least go into your bedroom. Apparently you had a deal you wouldn’t do that. Wow you need some self control buddy. Okay. Now he’s saying that he’s okay to talk to you. So you can come in. You better have showered!!!!
—-
Sunday, 8.27 am.
KrisVolley: @ollibear, what’s going on?
Ollibear: they’re fucking idiots. Stupid overgrown manbabies.
Timmyforrealz: well. Olli cursing is hilarious. It’s like Casper the friendly ghost saying fuck... 😂 Quite anti-climactic. Was anticipating a fist fight or at least a black eye. They just talked and @nadotheman cried. Ha. Long clingy chat short; Kuny was afraid his cousin was just using Nado - like he’d ever object? Nado admitted he was drunk and upset with Kuny over something else (they’re like my teenage twinsisters I swear) also Kuny was mad Nado fucked his cousin on the couch. So not classy @nadotheman... Jesus this soap opera is like the episode of friends where chandler is in a box.
Sergei_81: they ok?
Nadotheman added RussianGod to the chat
RussianGod: we good. But he has to do embarrassing thing now. I chose. Will think long before decide. Also he buy new couch
Prongstar: Kuny my dear friend - I will happily help think up evil revenge. Also burn the couch
Nadotheman: I didn’t fucking cry. He stinks. My eyes watered from the stench.
Blizzard: aw Nado its okay. We know you’re in an established bro-tionship.
Talkie-walkie: am I the only one worried about the Porsche? She does not deserve to suffer just because Nado is a slut.
RussianGod: dolores is fine. Love car too much. Only wanted to scare Jackie.
Nadotheman: stop calling me that kun(t)y. 😘
Ollibear: ffs you two just made up, just kiss and get the fuck out. I’m done being your therapist. Good night.
Timmyforrealz: they broke olli. He even kicked a chair and hurt his toe. Haha he’s cursing in Finnish. He also has hidden nado’s car keys. Dolores is ours now.
——
They did a ritual burning of the couch. Dumo did call Nado’s mother. She grounded him and gave Kuny a bunch of embarrassing photos of teenage Nado. We’re talking frosted tips and platform shoes.

If you’re talkin about ships, I’m interested to hear your opinion on Vumin, since it’s by far my favorite Mysme ship. The game seems to try to push that Jumin had a thing for Rika, but him liking V always made more sense to me.
I actually think Vumin is really great and healthy. Jumin definitely did have some kind of warmth in his heart for Rika but that was partially because she was like the first female he had ever met in his life that looked at him and treated him not like a sex object or something to covet for money and just wanted to be his friend and that string got tangled up to a degree that he didn’t understand nor did he think too hard on because V was with Rika and he cuts off his feelings before they ever built up to such a strong degree. 
That aside, V and Jumin have always been there for each other during their entire lives, from such a small age. 
They always counted on each other and never really pushed outside of their personal circle that they made. It was always just the two of them together and nobody else. Jumin knew that V understood him and V knew that Jumin understood him. They could always be together and there was never this worry about trying to exist in a society where the goal is to make business “friends” and boost your status. 
It was never like that for either one of them. They were friends because they felt like the other just... got it. Jumin being a stoic kid who had to mature far too fast and V being emotionally stunted and yet so filled with warmth. They helped to give each other a balance of what the other didn’t have and it just felt right. 
They have always confided in each other and considered their options before something huge because their faith in one another was that strong. 
I always admire how close they were. Jumin and V spend so much time drinking late into the night, talking about the universe, and staring at the stars. That’s just what they’ve always done. Who is to say that they haven’t had moments where they said a little too much? Hands touching briefly... eyes locking... something in the air like a spark as they exhale, daring to think about their hearts racing and what it means to feel this way about a person you’ve known your entire life and yet, your heart is telling you it’s more than just friendship. 
Jumin can be vulnerable with V and that’s one of the biggest struggles in his life, trying to open up. So, when V pulled away after he got involved with Rika, that was so hard on him. There was less time to be with V and nobody for him to go and speak with about anything. Elizabeth really saved him from feeling as if he were truly lonely.... but it was never enough.... it was never enough for him. It just didn’t feel like Jihyun’s hands against his shoulder and the way his heart sputtered. 
Jumin doesn’t believe in romance but he does believe in Jihyun. His entire heart rests in Jihyun. 
That’s why he was so willing to ignore the lies and the secrets because he loved his best friend more than anything and he wanted to give him a chance to open up on his own and confide in him like they did when they were young. It’s really heartbreaking too. Seeing V and Jumin together, supporting one another and pushing each other to be the best that they can be... 
Well, I can see why people are so passionate about Vumin. I think maybe even Jumin doesn’t entirely understand the way that he feels about Jihyun, but by the time he figures it out in the Secret Ending, for example, it’s too late for him to do anything about it. 
I would have enjoyed the idea of them supporting each other and working out their pain and troubles. Just let those guys enjoy a glass of wine and watch the sunset like they used to. 
V cares so much about Jumin but he doesn’t want to drag his friend down nor does he want to make him feel like he has to listen or push their relationship beyond friendship. He knows how Jumin is so uncomfortable with the notion of that and what it means, so it’s likely if his feelings existed from when they were teenagers, he might have swallowed it down and just tried to force himself to move on. He never truly could though. 
If he had been honest with him, those guys could’ve been helping the world and making a creative place together.

Can I Tell You Confidentially, Ain’t You Sweet
MONDAY
“This is a fucking nightmare,” Steve mutters, leaning against the wall and looking out of the window, Sam the other side.
  Staring down at the seemingly growing crowd, his agitation is growing with it, but all he can think about is how you must be feeling.
He’d nearly hurled his phone into the God damn Reflecting Pool when Fury had told him.
“Now, hang on a second, what?”
“This is a great opportunity to find out who these guys are and stop them, Steve.”
He’d scoffed, a hand on his hip as he’d paced. “So we’re putting a civilian’s life in danger, my civilian friend’s life in danger, who not only has absolutely no training in any kind of operation but is also just an innocent human being?”
A sigh had come through the line. “Steve... What these groups are talking about doing is getting worse, and they’re recruiting, not just people to assassinate you but for other operations as well around the world.”
His jaw had moved as he’d stopped, staring into the water. “There has to be another way.”
“There isn’t.”
“Nick, I can’t see—”
“This isn’t a request, Steve, it’s an order.”
So here he is, a soldier with his orders, putting his friend’s life on the line for his own... And even though they’d appeared to give you one, you hadn’t really had much of a choice.
He hates it. But... as Nat had said, you couldn’t be safer. Part of him was actually relieved that you would now officially be under the watchful eye of SHIELD and the best agents he’d ever known, especially after the letter he’d received.
Sam shifts, mirroring Steve with his folded arms. “Yeah, you’re not wrong,” he murmurs. Shaking his head, he looks to him. “Only for six days, man. Just keep tellin’ yourself that, six days.”
Steve releases a breath, a muscle in his jaw moving. “Yeah, ‘cause nothing goes to shit in six days, huh.”
“I’m coming over the moment work finishes, if I can get out of the damn building.”
You lick your lips, balancing your phone between your shoulder and your ear as you carry a box to your bedroom door.
“Uh, actually, Bridge’, I’m packing right now.”
“You’re packing? Oh my God, please don’t tell me you’re eloping, I want to be there!”
“No, no, we’re just moving in together.”
Just.
“Oh my God, your place or his?”
“Uh... a new place.” You lift a suitcase onto your bed, unzipping it.
“Where?”
“I’m not sure, actually, Steve’s chosen a place.” You move to your wardrobe, stare at it for a second and then grab an armful of clothes and turn, dropping them onto your bed.
“Ugh, it’s like he’s gifting you an apartment, that’s amazing. Oh, Y/N...” You pause your half-hearted folding of a sweater at Bridget’s sigh. “Why didn’t you tell me?”
Licking your lips, you place the sweater in the suitcase. “Well, we’re... we’re such good friends that we wanted to keep it a secret, just in case it didn’t work out so it wouldn’t be weird with our friends or for anyone. And, you know... the whole world seems to think it can be involved, as we’d, uhm, as we’d expected.“
You hear them hiss. “I know, I can’t believe what some people are writing, it’s such trash.”
“Yeah.” You haven’t dared to check the notifications that have been making your phone buzz, even as you’ve been speaking to Bridget, and their angry tone doesn’t exactly fill you with confidence.
As you fold another sweater, you hear the clicking of a computer mouse on the other end, and then Bridget gasping. “Oh my God, is the ring really from Tiffany’s?!”
“Uh...” You glance at the ring on your fourth left finger. The ring Nat had removed from a box she’d taken out of her coat pocket and unceremoniously handed to you, telling you to put it on. You have absolutely no idea where it’s from. Does SHIELD just have a storeroom full of these? Does Nat? “... I don’t actually know, Bridge’, but, you know me, I’m not really bothered by that kind of stuff.”
“Oh, I know. Is it new? Old? What does it look like?”
You continue to stare at the alien object. “It’s... silver. And new. Got a diamond in the middle, three smaller ones either side, going down the band.”
“Ugh, simple and elegant, love it. Can you send me a picture?”
“As soon as I’m done packing.”
“Good. And let me know where you’re moving to, please! I want to drop by unexpectedly every day.”
“Oh, I will as soon as I know.” Having finished folding, you zip the suitcase up and place a hand on it, exhaling a short breath.
There’s a small pause.
“Are you okay, babe?”
“Yeah, I just...” You rub your forehead before making yourself smile even though they can’t see it. “... This is just all happening so fast and it’s a lot, truthfully.”
“Oh, I bet. You know we all love and support you here, right?”
That makes your smile soften. “Yeah, I know.”
“And you’re still okay for drinks with me and Doll’ on Wednesday, right?”
“Oh, yeah, absolutely.” 
I fucking hope it’s okay, I know I’m gonna need those drinks and giggles. 
“Good, we’ll blow off some steam then.”
Hauling the suitcase off the bed, your eyes dart to the door as someone knocks on it.
“Come in,” you say, raising your voice slightly.
It opens and Sam appears, smiling. “Hey, you ready?”
“Just about.” You pass the suitcase to him, him lifting it like it weighs nothing, and the expected sharp inhale comes from the other end of the line.
“Is Sam there?” Bridget whispers.
Your lips twitching, you nod as you say, “Yeah, Bridge’, Sam’s here.”
The man of the moment pauses, looking back at you as his lips lift higher. “You’re talkin’ to Bridge’?”
“Yep.” You have to control your smile.
“How, uh, how’re they doin’?”
“How are you doing, Bridge’?” you ask, raising your eyebrows slightly as you hear them clear their throat.
“Uh, tell him I’m fine, thank you... And that I would like to have a secret engagement with him,” they finish in the quietest of whispers that has your lips twitching again.
“They say they’re fine, thank you.”
Sam nods, pauses for another moment before he moves to turn again.
“Oh, hey,” you say, a wholesomely sneaky idea coming to you. “Sam, why don’t I give you Bridget’s number, then you two can plan the respective bachelor and bachelorette parties together?”
Bridget’s almost squeal of an inhale gives you their answer as Sam looks at you and grins. “Yeah, sure. I’d like that.”
“Oke doke, I’ll give it to you in a bit.” You smirk to yourself as Sam heads into the hallway.
There’s half a second before Bridget launches into a speech. “Oh my God, I love you so damn much, I’m gonna throw you the best damn party ever, I’ll get you whatever you want, whoever you want...”
Okay, maybe I can joke about with this situation now... Just with myself.
It takes you twenty-five minutes to pack. You haven’t packed much, only what you need for the week, and any food that will be going out of date soon, and it isn’t like you are actually moving out, so... the essentials it had been. Like you’re going on holiday. A bizarre, unwanted holiday. Nat has assured you there’s towels, cutlery, glasses, bedsheets, etc, all at the new place, you just need your clothes, toiletries, laptop, phone and anything else you might want to entertain yourself, her words. The last part had made you think of the box you keep under your bed, an array of toys you’ve accrued over the years inside.
... I mean... This is going to be a very stressful week... I’ll take just one... The silent, water-proof one.
That had disappeared into your backpack after you’d, quickly as you could, fumbled with the box and pulled it out and your toy cleaning wipes, sweating slightly as you’d heard the three of them moving around outside your door.
I will not humiliate myself further this week, no thank you.
Well, Nat would probably just nod in approval, Sam would probably actually do the same or just not even react, but Steve... There’s some things that you didn’t talk about, no matter how close you are.
Pulling your coat back on and the bag, hoping Nat doesn’t want to rifle through it this time, you step out of your bedroom, closing the door.
“So, what now?” you ask as they turn to you, Steve carrying your suitcase, Sam holding two boxes in his arms, Nat typing on her phone.
She slips it into her pocket and clasps her hands together as she speaks, “We leave, quickly and safely as possible. Sam and Steve are gonna take your things and Steve’s and head down to the parking garage, Sam’s got his car there, and they’ll come a little behind us. You and I are gonna head out the front, draw some of the crowd away and head to the new place.”
“Right.” You can’t work out if this is nice or not, having someone else take over and make all the decisions. At any other time, you’d be railing and demanding an input, but with this situation...
Carry on, Nat.
“All right, let’s go,” she says, as if having heard your thoughts, and moves to the door, peering through the peep-hole, checking the hallway, before she opens it.
“See you later, Y/N,” Sam says with that lovely warm smile of his as he heads out and, actually, between remembering the people who are now going to be looking after you and having decisions taken away from you, you’re starting to relax a little.
You meet Steve’s gaze and smile as he raises his eyebrows a little. “Well, I guess I’ll see you at home, then,” he says, a smile pulling at his own lips.
“Yeah, I’ll put the kettle on,” you reply, making his smile widen a little more.
“I look forward to it.”
You watch him as he heads out and into his own apartment, Sam having already opened the door. As he closes it, Nat steps out into the hallway, gesturing for you to follow, and you obey. Pulling your door shut, you lock it and turn to her, your keys disappearing into your coat pocket and you zip it closed.
As you both head down the hall, she pulls her phone out and starts typing again, her thumbs moving rapidly. You press the button to herald the elevator, and grip the straps of your bag, staring at the closed outer doors.
You try not to think about anything in particular, but you’re definitely feeling a lot more mellow. 
Just six days, I can do that. Six days is fine, it’ll fly by. I just won’t watch the news, stay off of social media as much as possible and keep my head down with whatever Nat plans for us to do. Steve’ll want that, too, it’ll be fine.
Cheered by your new resolve, you breathe a little easier as the elevator arrives and you step in after the doors open. Nat presses the button for the ground floor as she steps in and glances at the ceiling corners, probably looking for bugging devices.
Pushing her phone into her pocket as the elevator begins to descend, she leans against the back wall, folding her arms and looking at you.
“We’ve got a couple of agents in the crowd and in the building along the street, so don’t worry, we’ve got eyes from every angle.”
“Okay,” you answer, having to stop yourself from saying ‘thank you’ because you know she’ll just smirk and arch an eyebrow.
She pulls the sunglasses down from her head to settle over her eyes once more and you raise your eyebrows.
“... Can I ask, what’s with the glasses?”
“They scan people’s faces, log and check them on a database we have.”
“Oh.”
Oh. Facial recognition.
That unsettles you a bit.
Licking your lips, you look back at the doors. “Where is the new place?” you ask after a moment.
“Other side of town.”
She doesn’t elaborate. You don’t know why you even bothered asking.
The elevator slows and she straightens, glancing at you. “You ready?”
“Yeah,” you murmur, clinging onto the calmness you’d felt only minutes before.
The doors open and you both step out. Aaron is stood close to the door, his hands on his belt, frowning, and there’s another guard with him, one you recognise as usually taking the night shift. Aaron must have called him... and as your eyes dart to the windows, you can see why. The faint, jolly music is still playing and it’s a bizarre juxtaposition to the muffled shouting and screaming from outside because the crowed have spotted you now. People are trying to peer through the floor-to-ceiling windows, craning their necks and shoving each other out of the way to get a better look at you, filming on their phones and trying to take pictures.
Aaron turns to you and gives you a small smile as you approach, Nat a step ahead.
“How’re we looking?” she asks him and from his blinking and surprised expression, you guess he isn’t one of the eyes she was talking about.
“Uh, well, no-one’s tried to get in, yet. Someone seemed as if they were about to follow someone who lives here in, but other’s started yelling at them that we could then call the police, so, seems like they’re seasoned.” He glances at you, giving you another smile.
You return it because, God, he’s probably not trained for this, and he’s such a nice guy.
“All right, well, they should go soon once they realise Steve and Y/N are moving.”
“You’re leaving?” He looks rather crestfallen as he meets your gaze again, and you don’t quite know what to do, but it’s left to you to say something because Nat’s moved off to the other guard.
Lying to him almost feels as bad as having to lie to your friends. He’s been working here for quite a few months now and he’s always ready to have a goofy laugh with you, especially when you come back from after-work drinks. It was always nice, too, to come back from a shitty day and see him, smiling and asking you how your day was.
“Well, tomorrow’s a new day,” he’d always say back, to the point where you both just ended up saying it together.
Do you just say bye? Do you give him your number, or promise to add him on Instagram or Facebook?
Yes, please.
Yeah, all right, you have a tiny bit of a crush on him, but it’s fine and you won’t ever act on it, so it’s fine.
“Yeah, sorry,” you say to him, offering a slightly sheepish smile.
Why am I apologising.
He smiles quickly, a beam that you’d come to enjoy seeing. “Well, I wish you luck with your new life, you two always seemed happy together, I don’t know why I didn’t figure it out.” He laughs and you make yourself join in.
Oh, it’s because it’s not truuueee...
“Thank you, Aaron, I appreciate that.” You pause for a second before continuing as you don’t know what else to say, “I’ll see you around.”
He nods. “Yeah, we follow each other on Instagram, so...”
“Do we?” Oh God, that’s embarrassing, as is the tone of surprise you hadn’t quite managed to stop. It’s like you’ve forgotten about him or don’t care, oh my God...
“Yeah, we...” He pauses to let out a chuckle. “You just took my phone that one time, when you came back from a friend’s birthday party, and followed yourself on my account, then promised you’d follow me which you did, so...”
Dolly’s birthday party. Tequila shots.
“Oh, right, yes, sorry, I remember.” Your face feels too warm. “Well, I’ll make sure to say hello.”
“I’d like that.” He smiles and takes a breath before clearing his throat “Goodbye, then, good luck with everything.”
“Thank you,” you answer, but he’s already turning and moving back towards the other guard, Nat giving him a brief smile as they pass each other and she returns to you.
Arching an eyebrow at you, a smirk hints at the corners of her mouth.
“Already initiating an affair?” she murmurs as she places a hand above your backpack, gently guiding you towards the door.
“Shut up,” you mutter, very much aware of how warm your face still is.
Her mood shifts the moment you’re in front of the door, the other guard gripping the handle, ready to open it.
“Okay, just keep moving towards the car, all right, don’t worry if you feel me pushing you, just keep your feet moving, and look straight ahead.”
“Okay,” you whisper, and from the corner of your eye you see her nod.
The guard opens the door and steps out, pushing people back, and then you’re out and through the door.
The moment you feel the cold air touch your skin, it’s pandemonium. People scream, cameras flash, and questions are yelled at you, so many you can’t even make them out properly. You keep your feet moving but your eyes are darting all over, trying to take it all in, there’s so many people. Your anxiety comes flooding back as the guard and Aaron try their best to keep people back and Nat keeps pushing you forward, silent. You just can’t believe they’re all here, in the freezing cold, just to see you.
Well, not just you.
“He’s not here! He’s not with her!” you hear a man shout next to you, making you flinch.
Suddenly, your hands are on Nat’s Corvette and you’re fumbling for the handle. Finding it and tugging it open, Aaron has to really push against a group beside you to allow you space to open it and so you can get in. With your bag still on your back, you slide into the seat and call a “Thank you!” to Aaron. He doesn’t get a chance to turn and acknowledge it as Nat closes the door and the group surges slightly, trying to press against the car. Keeping your eyes down, you lean forward to slide your backpack off and drop it between your feet.
Your hands shake slightly as you buckle your seatbelt, so you clasp them together in your lap once you’re done. It takes Nat a few more moments than last time to get round to her side, but then she’s there, swiftly getting in. Slamming the door shut, she secures her seatbelt and turns the engine on, the sound of it, luckily, making people step back.
Within moments, she’s pulling you both away and down the street. Staring through the wing mirror on your side, you’re grateful for the first time for her speed, knowing by the time the group scatters and gets into their cars or news vans that you’ll be blocks away.
Closing your eyes, you try and cheer yourself.
The hard part’s over. That’s it. You did it.
The hard part is definitely over.
This is the fanciest fucking place I’ve ever seen in my life.
You don’t think your mouth’s closed once from the moment you stepped into the building let alone your new penthouse.
It’s huge. All open-plan and white or stripped wood furniture, lush, thick, beige carpeting throughout, except in the kitchen where it’s polished stone, and the bathrooms where it’s white tile with thin flashes of gold. The dining room is decorated to a show-room standard, with a long, glass table and white cushioned chairs, cutlery set out waiting to be used. The living room, with its two ridiculously comfy beige couches, darker than the carpet, with terracotta blankets draped over them, a huge TV, brick fireplace, and intricately carved coffee table, meets the floor-to-ceiling windows and a glass door that opens out onto a balcony and a view of the city. A swinging chair and four, regular, but as equally comfy-looking, chairs are on it with a stone table, and to the right there’s a pool and more couches and a firepit. To the right of the living room area, behind a door, is a gym room, complete with, what you assume is state-of-the-art, equipment. The kitchen is to die for with its black marble counters and island, accompanied by stools to sit at, and the huge silver fridge and the white beech-wood cabinets and the bedrooms...
There’s two, one’s going to be yours, the other’s Steve’s. You very much agreed with Nat when she said, as you were the first here, that you get first pick but, truthfully, you’d have been over the moon with either of them. The one you have chosen, though, is the first one you come to after walking up the stairs. The king-sized bed is the most comfortable thing you’ve ever lain on, and the grey and white striped duvet and sheets are so soft. The wardrobe is a walk-in, you have your own en-suite, featuring a clawfoot bath, a huge shower and an ornate sink, and the windows in the bedroom are also floor-to-ceiling, the view gorgeous.
Maybe this will feel like a holiday, maybe this won’t be so bad after all, oh my God, even the toilet paper is the softest thing I’ve ever felt, I never want to leave...
As you finally pull yourself out of the room, you lean against the landing railing, gazing down at the open-plan floor below. It looks even more gorgeous from up here, perfect, coordinated, a dream.
Nat stands by the balcony door, talking to someone on her phone, and as you practically float down the stairs, she brings it to an end and hangs up, pushing it into her jeans pocket as a smile begins to form.
“So, everything is satisfactory for you, ma’am?”
“Oh, Nat, this is beyond anything I could have ever imagined.” Crossing the room, you sit on one of the couches, leaning back and looking at her. “How did you find this place?”
She folds her arms, leaning against the window. “We keep a few places on hold, just in case.”
Your head tilts forward, your eyes widening. “This place is a safe-house?!”
Her lips twitch. “Not anymore. Clint’ll be pissed.”
Before you can respond, the front door opens and you both turn, watching Steve and Sam enter. Sam lets out a whistle as he walks down the short hallway, his eyes wide. “Oh my God, can I move in?”
Grinning because this feels good, this feels nice to find it exciting rather than terrifying, you raise your eyebrows. “Hey, I wouldn’t mind, there’s probably room for ten people here.”
“Yeah, Sam snores, so I don’t think so,” Steve quips as he passes the other man, setting the three suitcases, one of them yours, he’d been carrying down by the kitchen archway. He seems just as impressed, though, if a bit more quietly so, his eyes roaming the interior. They arrive at you.
“You happy with it?” he asks, and it makes your chest ache with how sincerely he says it.
“Are you kidding me?” You maintain your grin, wanting to keep the tone light. “I can probably sleep in the wardrobe I have up there and there’s a pool outside.”
“It’s winter, Y/N,” Sam says, but he’s craning his neck to peer outside as he puts your two boxes on the kitchen island.
“It’s heated,” Nat says casually, making you and Sam gasp quietly.
I’m never leaving.
“Right,” Nat continues, moving away from the window as Sam takes her place, her arms still folded. “There’s food in the fridge and cupboards, plenty of towels in the downstairs bathroom cupboards, there’s a washing machine and tumble dryer in there, too, and I’m gonna advise you to not order take-out this week for safety purposes.”
If that’s the sacrifice I have to make to live here then fine.
“Steve, come with me, I’ll show you how the machines work, Sam you take Y/N’s things upstairs and help her unpack.”
“I know how a washing machine works, Nat,” Steve sighs even as he follows after her.
“Oh, not this one, trust me.”
Your gaze darting to meet Sam’s, you both grin.
“Please show me this wardrobe, I’m dyin’ to see it.”
Rising off the couch, you gesture towards the stairs with a flourish of your arm. “This way, then, please, sir.”
Striding across the floor, he grabs your suitcase in one hand and manages to carry both boxes in his other arm before turning to you. “Take me there, ma’am.”
You feel like a giddy child as you both head up the stairs, nearly running.
Nat shakes her head as they listen to you both and she meets Steve’s gaze, her lips twitching. He smiles, but it doesn’t quite reach his eyes.
Even though she knows you nor Sam will be able to hear her in the bathroom she and Steve are stood in, she still softens her voice. “You okay, old man?”
A corner of his mouth lifts a little higher than the other. “Yeah. It’s just gonna take some getting used to.”
“I know,” she murmurs, leaning against the washing machine, instructions forgotten, and she knows not needed. “I know this isn’t exactly how we planned on locating these guys but we couldn’t let this opportunity go—”
“I know, I know,” he sighs, a note of exasperation to it. “Fury said the same thing.”
She looks at him, the tightness in his jaw, despite how relaxed he appears. “She’s going to be safe,” she says gently after a few moments. “I know I don’t have to remind you, but we’re doing this for her, too.”
That makes him stiffen slightly, but she knows he needs an objective for this, something to fight for, something personal, his own life not being enough. He nods after a short pause, then his eyes meet hers and he gives an easy smile.
“You gonna show me how to use this thing or what, huh?”
You wish Nat and Sam could’ve stayed longer. Could’ve helped you both settle in, maybe even shown you how to operate the TV, even though you knew... Could’ve stayed longer because they helped to keep the excitement up.
The moment the door closed after they’d said their goodbyes, barely an hour after they’d arrive, said adamantly to call if either of you needed anything, and that the building was already being watched by agents, silence descended.
You’d both been stood by the front door to bid farewell, Steve holding it open, and you’d watched them cross the small circular foyer to the elevator that only someone with a passkey could get into and come to this floor with. You, Steve, Nat and Sam were the only people to have one. As the latter two disappeared, the elevator doors closing and Steve closed your own door and the silence came, you just looked at each other. You couldn’t think what to say, not quite in the mood to crack a joke, some of your energy having left you. Steve had appeared to feel the same way, his hands sliding into his pockets as he gave a light smile.
As the silence went on a second too long, you had returned his smile, though wider, and made some excuse about having promised to video call Dolly and Bridget to show them the place. He’d just nodded and joked about keeping out of the way.
You hate this. Hate that there’s some kind of... disconnect between you two now, though, you hope, you’re the only one to feel it. You don’t want to become awkward strangers to each other, you don’t want to feel uncomfortable and embarrassed every time you want to speak to him because how the hell are you going to get through the week? Or beyond it? You know it’s all your own doing, your own insecurities and embarrassment holding you back, but you just need... a few minutes to adjust.
The video call with your friends doesn’t exactly help. They’d gasped and squealed at everything you’d showed them, so delighted and excited for their friend, and you don’t know where you’d found the energy from to be ‘on’, to be at their level, and the level of an excited, engaged woman. You had quickly excused yourself after half an hour, though, saying you and Steve still have some things to unpack. 
You hate lying to them. You hate it so much.
You'd felt tears pricking at your eyes as you’d waved goodbye, catching their blown kisses like you usually would but unable to return them with quite the same goofiness. If they’d have asked, you just would have said you were tired, which wouldn’t have been a complete lie.
When you end the call and drop your phone onto your bed, you close your eyes, wiping at them after a moment to eradicate any stray tears.
Six days. Just six days. And it’s to help save your best friend’s life.
Changing into a sweater and pyjamas trousers, you leave your room, your phone held in one hand. A quick glance around as you descend the stairs shows no sign of Steve, but as you reach the bottom you hear sounds of a machine in the gym room despite the door being closed. You leave him to it, knowing he’s probably got his own adjustments to reckon with.
Despite his status, he’s still a private guy, and he probably hates the limelight now being shone on him once more.
There comes the guilt again, gnawing at you from the inside, and swiftly comes the challenge that without your lie you wouldn’t be able to help SHIELD find whoever wants to hurt him... Then comes the sadness, anger and helplessness.
You sit on the nearest couch, grabbing the remote, and turn the TV on. The channel you’re on is showing an advert, so you skip through until you land on a talk show. You pause for a moment, before lowering the remote.
“... also have a statement from June & Mayflower Publishing,” a woman is saying, text appearing on the screen beside her.
You don’t bother to listen properly or read it. Nat had called Yvette while you’d been packing, and she and her assistant Alice had drafted a statement saying the whole company was delighted. She’d sent it to you while Nat had been driving you here to read beforehand but you’d just replied to the email saying it was fine, you trusted her.
You tune back in when a man speaks, and a weird feeling rises in your chest as a picture of you and Steve, from probably only a few months after you’d moved to D.C, walking in a park and smiling, pops up on the screen.
“Y/N has actually been sighted with Steve before, they’ve actually been neighbours for three years, isn’t that romantic?”
“Awh, so cute!” the woman says, beaming.
“I know, right? People were asking if something was going on, we were desperate to know if our boy in red, white and blue had finally found the one again, but after months of quiet speculation we all knew they were just good friends.”
You wouldn’t have exactly called it quiet. You can still remember the shock and surprise of leaving your building and someone coming up to you to ask questions about you and Steve every other day, but it had soon faded, and had been nothing compared to what you’d experienced today.
“Now what we’re all desperate to know is is it going to be a winter wedding?”
“Yeeesss,” the woman says, clapping her hands together. “Now, some of us may think that that’s unusual but they are becoming more popular, and if the wedding of the century is going to a winter one, then, well, cancel Christmas, wedding planners, you’ve got work to do!”
As they laugh, you cringe, playing with the sleeve of your sweater. Unused to wearing a ring the size of the engagement one, it keeps catching on it.
“Now, we have Chrisse Christianson on the line from Chrisse’s Boutique, the store that specialises in all things weddings right here in New York, hi, Chrisse, have you been contacted by the couple?”
“Hi, guys! No, I haven’t been contacted yet,” she laughs, the trilling sound echoing across the studio, “but as Steve is from here we’re hoping they decide to shop local, and—”
As the gym room door opens, with lightening speed you change the channel, landing on a documentary of some kind.
Clearing your throat and lifting your head, you smile at him as he steps out... and you can’t stop your gaze from travelling him. His shirt is sticking to his skin with sweat, beads of it trailing down his neck and temple. His muscles somehow look bigger, straining under the sleeves of the shirt. You swiftly lift your eyes as you catch yourself, and his warm smile is what sets off the fluttering in your chest.
“Hey,” he greets, closing the door.
“Hi,” you manage to say nonchalantly.
Glancing at the TV screen, he then looks back to you. “Dolly and Bridge’ okay?”
“Yeah.” You fold your arms as you smile a touch wryly. “Can’t tell if they’re more excited about the engagement or the apartment.”
He chuckles, wiping the back of his hand across his forehead. You have to stop yourself from watching his muscles flex. “Well, they’re only human.”
Your smile softens as you exhale a laugh. As he crosses behind the couch to the stairs, your eyes return to the TV, but you hear him pause on the bottom step.
“Hey, after I shower I’ll cook us something to eat, okay?”
You look to him, your smile returning as you nod. “Yeah, that sounds nice.”
He nods and ascends the stairs, and you make yourself look back at the screen.
Well, there you go, you’ve spoken and it wasn’t awkward. Hey, you’d even laughed. That was good, fine. It would just be a little weird adjusting, that was all.
You focus on the documentary, which you realise is about birds. You focus very hard on it.
Cutlery quietly clinks against plates, the only sound that fills the air of the penthouse. Usually when you both cook together one of you will put music on, more often than not the playlist you’ve curated together over the years that holds a charmingly eclectic mix of music ranging from the 20s to now. Today, though, neither of you felt much like listening to any.
You’d just stayed on the couch, anyway, when he’d reappeared, showered and dressed, and cooked, almost frozen to the spot and staring at the TV screen. It was nice to drift away for half an hour or so, be distracted by something. He’d gently called you when the pasta dish was ready, and you’d both decided to sit at the island, something too unspokenly formal about the dining table.
And so silence has fallen.
Steve watches you as you both eat quietly, your head slightly lowered. The only thing you’d said was how good it tasted after your first mouthful, and he’d thanked you. You haven’t said another word since. He himself is slightly slumped in his chair, his shoulders down, his arm resting on his thigh, back a little curved. You’d laughed the first time you’d seen him with such an unsuperhero-y posture, fully relaxed. He’d just smiled, and you’d realised over the years that that was how Steve Rogers sat and how he always had, even pre-serum, almost like his body was curving in, protecting himself.
Your fork lowering onto your plate pulls him from his thoughts, his eyes focusing back on you. Running a hand down his mouth, he clears his throat.
“How are you doing?” he asks quietly.
You just look at your plate for a moment as you push it away, your hands clasping together in its place. You’d known this was coming the whole time you’d been eating, before even. Taking a breath and exhaling it, you swallow before you finally look at him. His features don’t change, just watching you.
“Steve, I’m so sorry, about all of this,” you say, your voice just as quiet as his. “For what I said at the party, all of this, I just...”
“Why?” he asks when you don’t carry on.
You raise your eyebrows slightly, a faint expression of surprise. “I used you. I used you to get back at someone who doesn’t matter, and I hate that I did that, I hate it. It’s what everyone else does to you, they use your status and the symbol of Captain America, they take advantage of it, I’ve seen people do it, they pretend they’re your friend just to get something, and I never wanted to be the person that did that, I’m so sorry, I’m your friend because I like you, not because I want to look important or have some kind of status, but that’s what I wanted in that moment, I wanted him to look at me and think I was important and he’d missed out, and I could do better than him and now I’ve just thrown that all away, I’m a hypocrite and I’m so sorry.” You stop abruptly and inhale a slightly broken breath.
He didn’t interrupt you as you got it all out to him, finally, his expression didn’t change, he just sat quietly and listened, knowing the thoughts have probably been rolling around in your mind incessantly. His features soften now, though.
“Y/N...” he says after a moment, “... It was a bit of fun.” You just look at him, your lips slightly parted. “Sure, it’s spiralled, and here we are, having to pick out cake decorations...” He trails off with a smile as you exhale a laugh, your own smile finally breaking out across your features. When he continues, he’s still smiling but his tone is sincere. “I know the kind of person you are, Y/N. I know when I’m being used, despite how old I am I’ve still got all my marbles, but it was just some fun, and I was glad to do it for you, he seemed like an ass.”
Your smile has lingered, your shoulders relaxing in relief as you inhale a breath. “Yeah, he was.” Shaking your head, you look at him. “God, you’re just...”
He arches an eyebrow, his head tilting. “What?”
Your smile widens. “Incredible, Steve Rogers.”
He chuckles, his hand falling into his lap. “You are, too. And Y/N, you are important—”
“I know, I know,” you say quickly, feeling your face warm. You can’t bear to hear one of his pep-talks now, it’ll just make you feel like even more of a child for having done what you did.
Mercifully, he takes the hint and leans his elbow on the island, his fingers brushing over his lips. There’s a small pause before he speaks again.
“Look, I’m not the best at all this undercover stuff, I’m quite bad at it actually, I’m surprised Nat hasn’t entertained you with the tales, but I think having to do it with you will make it a little easier.”
Your gaze lifts to him, the heat lingering on your skin, and you smile softly. “Well, thank you. You, too.”
You want to cry. You have some kind of emotional release from the day, but you know that would just make him feel guilty.
You attempt to lighten the tone again, raising your eyes to take in the penthouse once more. “So why don’t you live in a place like this?”
“What do you mean?”
You shrug. “Your apartment’s the same size as mine, but you probably have ten times what I do. Don’t give me that look,” you swiftly continue, the corners of your mouth lifting, “They published it, and I couldn’t help but accidentally read it, and I’m just saying, why do we split the bill.”
He arches an eyebrow, a smile threatening. “Because you insist.”
“Well...” You scoff, raising your eyebrows. “I’m gonna stop insisting.”
He chuckles and shrugs, his hands clasping in his lap. “I like my place. And where could I find a better neighbour, huh?”
“Oh, well...” You shrug a shoulder as you smile faux-demurely, shaking your head. “You couldn’t, so, good.”
“I know, I know, God’s gift,” he concedes with raised eyebrows, his smile betraying his tone. Moving off the stool, he takes your plate and his and heads to the sink, placing them in and turning the tap on, letting the water run over them.
Placing your arms on the island, you exhale a long breath. “So... How are you gonna spend your first afternoon here in paradise?”
The corners of his mouth lift as he turns the tap off and leans against the counter beside him, his hands in his pockets. “Think I’m gonna give Buck a call, and Nat, see what’s goin’ on. You?”
You wrinkle your nose, shrugging. “I don’t think I’m technically not working just yet, so, I’ve got a few things I want to take care of and send to Yvette, then...” You shrug again. “... The shower in my room looks great, actually, so I might spend about three hours in there.”
“Yeah, mine was life-changing, so...” He smiles as you laugh, sliding off of your stool.
“Oh, good, maybe I’ll spend four hours in there, then.” Tugging your sleeves over your hands, you grab your phone and return his smile. “All right, I guess I’ll see you in a bit, then.”
“Yeah. Don’t work too hard.”
“Oh, I’ll try.”
And there it is again, that weird, unfamiliar awkwardness returns, not too overt, but definitely there. As you climb the stairs, you once again hope he doesn’t feel it, but, you are relieved that you got out what had been rattling around in your mind since the morning. Relieved that he was so understanding, too, but when is he not? That’s what you lo— admire about him so much. Empathy is seemingly a rare trait these days so it’s nice to be reminded that people do have it. And, oh, you’d had a normal conversation. You almost laugh at the boost it’s given you.
You push him, the day, everything out of your mind, though, as you enter your room and close the door. Taking your laptop from your backpack, you turn it on and sit back against the luxurious cushions on the bed, closing your eyes for a few moments to get your brain into work-mode. 
This will distract you for a good few hours, be something that you can handle and focus on.
Opening your eyes, you sign into your laptop and straighten your back.
Oke doke... Hello, my actual life.
You manage to waste more than a good few hours sending emails, receiving them, taking calls, approving events and posts, planning out the next few months of what you want to get done and make public. You ignore the emails that have ‘CONGRATULATIONS!!!’ in the subject line, hoping people will just think you’re too busy being desperately in love to reply to all the well-wishers. It’s almost bliss, to lose yourself in your work and think of nothing else, even though you do have to block a few numbers from tabloids every half an hour or so.
As darkness falls, though, and everyone else ends their working day, you force yourself to send your last email, to Yvette, explaining, as Nat had asked you to, that you would be taking the week off. Yvette already knows, of course, but Nat had requested you to do it just in case someone hacked into your emails, or the company’s. Shutting your laptop down and closing it, your gaze drifts to the window. The sky is an inky black, and the bedside lamp you’d turned on an hour or so before illuminates the room in a warm, gentle glow.
Moving off the bed with a slight, stiff, wince, you pull the curtains closed, and take a moment to let your thumbs caress the silver, velvety material.
Ugh, just perfect.
Blowing out a breath, you turn back to the room.
What now? 
...
Time for that shower, I think.
You take another moment to once more take in the beauty of your bathroom, before you open the shower door and stare at the buttons because it has buttons and not knobs and taps like you’re used to. Thankfully, they’re easy to understand and in seconds a warm stream of beautifully pressured water is pouring down onto the floor.
You dart back into the bedroom to grab your phone, wanting to play some music, and as you wander back into the bathroom, you unlock it. As you search for your desired playlist, an Instagram notification suddenly appears at the top of the screen. It’s a message—
You pause.
A message from Aaron.
You feel your face heating up, and it’s not from the steam of the shower, as you tap on it to open the app and read it quickly.
Hey, I hope you’re settling in okay, and your new door guys aren’t as funny as I am.
You smile, quite touched by the sweetness of it. Your thumbs start to move before you can stop them.
Hi, thank you so much! It’s all fine here, and no, they certainly aren’t, so you can rest easy.
Feeling faintly like a giddy teenager as you quickly close the app in case he comes online and sees you’re active, (and oh my God, did I reply too quickly?), you start your playlist and place your phone by the sink. After undressing, leaving your clothes in a pile on the floor, and spending a moment considering if you should remove the ring in case you damage it but deciding to leave it on, you step into the shower and are unable to stop a soft groan as the warm water washes over you.
This is so much better than the water in our building... then again, it’s not hard to beat it.
You take your time to shower, washing every inch of your skin with the new bottle of body-wash that was already in there and smells divine. When you finally turn the water off and step out, you pull a cream, fluffy towel from the nearby rack and it rivals the bed in softness. After patting yourself dry and moisturising with the new pot of cream that was in one of the cabinets under the sink, and comes from that fancy shop you and Dolly go into every month for samples, you wrap the towel around yourself, take your phone and head into the bedroom.
Checking for notification as you sit on the bed, you find Aaron has answered.
Oh, good, to both of those. My reputation remains intact.
Your teeth graze over your lower lip as you reply.
Absolutely, I’ll let them know here that they seriously need to do better.
Being on the app reminds you to make your account private as, oh, boy, strangers commenting on every single photo you’ve ever posted is overwhelming. You’re about to exit out of the app when you decide to have a look at Aaron’s profile. It’s a standard grid, photos of him at bars or parties, by the looks of it, selfies, photos of him at the gym...
Wow... His uniform kinda hides those muscles.
Stop it.
Locking your phone, you lie back on the bed, not quite ready to change just yet.
God, that was a good shower.
Wonder if Steve’s shower was really good. If the water pressure was good like mine, not if he had a nice time, if he just really enjoyed it as much as he said he did.
You stare at the ceiling, swallowing lightly.
Your eyes drift to your backpack on the floor.
Where your toy calls quietly to you.
... This would help the unwinding to continue.
Moving off the bed, you reach inside your backpack and grab the toy, pulling it out of its drawstring bag.
It’s one of your favourites; smooth, rose-gold silicone, medium length, a ribbed shaft, silent, different speeds and patterns, water-proof, you can use it anywhere, anytime, and do whatever you want with it.
Lying back again, you shift into a more comfortable position and close your eyes, your thumb finding the familiar button to set the vibration at the first, low speed.
You think about what you usually do when you can’t be bothered to look a stimulus up online; a faceless mouth on your neck, on your breasts, licking and sucking at your nipples, on your thighs, hands pulling them apart, gliding down to your wet pussy lips, caressing and stroking.
A rush of breath escapes you as you glide the head of the vibrator up and down your cunt, your hips jerking slightly at the initial contact. You’re wet already, and you hum gently as you stop at your clit, leaving the vibrator there.
Your free hand tugs the towel open so you can reach your breasts, your fingers going between your nipples and, tugging and pinching them along with your fantasy. You increase the speed by one as you start to lose yourself in the pleasure thrumming throughout your body.
... And you can’t stop yourself from not thinking about it anymore.
You picture Steve in the shower. 
You’ve thought of him a couple of times before while masturbating, accidentally. Like when you've been drunk he’s just slipped into your mind... or just at the last second when you're coming his face has appeared in your mind and his name from your lips. You just can’t help it.
The faceless mouth and hands become his as you rock your hips, quiet moans sounding from your throat. He whispers your name into your ear, telling you how good you feel, how wet you are, what a good girl you are, how he can’t wait to sink his cock into yo—
Two gentle knocks sound on your bedroom door.
“Y/N?”
Your eyes snapping open, you stare at the door.
Steve.
Oh my God, it’s like I summoned him.
“... Yeah?” You try to sound as nonchalant as possible, your voice just a touch higher than normal.
“Can I come in?”
“Uh...” You’re off the bed in seconds, the towel falling to the floor as you thrust the vibrator behind one of the many pillows and clear your throat, “... Hang on, two seconds...”
You can’t answer the door to him in just a towel, you can’t, where—
You find the robe you’d spotted earlier, still hanging on the back of the bathroom door and grab it, pulling it on and tying the cord tight.
God, that’s soft...
Clearing your throat again, you take a breath and open the door, smiling widely as your eyes fall on him.
“Hey, sorry, I just had a shower.”
He takes an almost involuntary step back, his back straightening. “Oh, sorry—” 
“No, no, it’s fine.” You’re still smiling, and he’s returning it, albeit a bit softer and less forced, his eyes on yours.
“Right, I was wondering if you wanted to watch a movie? I can make some dinner for us while you change?”
He’s just so fucking nice, how can I think such filthy things...
“Yeah, that sounds great.”
“All right, I think it’s your turn to pick the movie.”
“All right, I’ll get thinking.”
I hope I don’t sound as manic as I feel.
You watch him descend the stairs for a moment before you close the door and lean against it, closing your eyes.
Oh, God...
It’s good actually, that he turned up, you shouldn’t be thinking about him, it’s wrong, he’s your friend— 
Stop. Just stop thinking about it.
Opening your eyes, you exhale a long breath and move towards your new wardrobe, finding your pyjamas.
Right, now to just get through the evening without any awkwardness... and the rest of the week.
Okay.
Right.
Fine.
Perfectly easy.

The Forgotten - Part Three
Tumblr media
Here is part three of The Forgotten
Here it is in its entirety 
The Aquarium 
Raphael had always been….overwhelming, the one to leave her breathless, boneless and tied up in knots after a rough session of love making.  He knew what buttons to press, the right pressure to touch at just the right places. Raphael was a master of breaking down walls and getting exactly what he wanted by making Aurora realize she wanted the very same thing. This Raphael was no different.
Aurora could feel her heart in her chest as his sinful lips found the pulse point bringing the skin into his mouth and sucked until the blood vessels burst. As he continued to molest the skin in his mouth Raphael’s left hand moved to her backside gripping the apple of ass and squeezed. Aurora tried; she really did, but found it impossible to stop the moan escaping between her parted lips. Memories flooded back as he pressed her into the side of building with his immense frame while licking at the now red mark that spread across her skin.
Raphael did this regularly when they were hers and hers alone. He’d mark her mostly in the mornings when they’d get a few moments alone and he take the first fuck of the day and the subtle mark on her neck would remind Fearless that he had, had their kunoichi first. It was a game the alphas played on the regular always trying to one up each other which Aurora didn’t mind being the object of their attentions. Being on the receiving end of their insatiable sex drive was something she would never complain about. Mike and Don were nearly as bad but they tended to be a little more submissive to her.
“Raphael.”
“That’s so fuckin’ pretty, say it again.” Raphael husked pressing his knee between her thighs to widen her stance. “Why the fuck do I want ya so bad? Like I’ve been starving for years and you’re the only thing to satisfy my hunger?”
Aurora fought with her body as it responded favorably to his impatient treatment. Her hands shook reaching for the rim of his shell and willed herself not to pull him closer but to keep him at bay. She had to get her libido under control, this was not her Raphael. She took a deep breath and pushed; the mouth that was sampling the column of her throat was detached and growled its warning of displeasure.  
It was now she could hear his labored breathing as the disconnect from his body allowed some of her senses to return. Even in the low light Aurora could see his pupils dilated, Raphael’s ravenous sex drive was in full gear and his sights were locked in on the kunoichi. She needed to be quick and utilize all of her tricks because despite the throb between her legs Aurora wasn’t going to give him what he wanted and she could tell he really wanted it.
“Come girly, I can smell ya, I know you want this too. And if we’ve fucked before I know ya can take me.” The eager mutant moved forward again his hands searching to reclaim the roundness of her backside.
Aurora jumped gripping the lip of the roof’s overhang and lifted up and out of range of those gifted three fingered hands. Her legs spread clearing his towering height and using her stomach muscles reared back and launched herself over the mutant landing just behind him.
Raphael fist slammed into the wood siding and whirled around with a manic smile widening over his scarred lips. “Playin hard to get huh? That’s ok cause I love the thrill of the chase. When I catch ya I’m gonna make you scream my name and mark you inside and out. That way Fearless will know who had ya first.” Just then the brute stopped his forward motion and blinked eyeing Aurora carefully. “I’m havin déjà vu right now, like I’ve said those words before. But Leo and I have never…….”
He looked confused running his hand over his scalp before clamping both hands over his skull grunting in pain. “God my skull, it hurts all of a sudden.”
Aurora took the moment of his distraction and kicked the solid turtle in the chest sending him back on his shell. With the quickness of her training she moved over the enormous turtle and pressed under his left arm pit and above his plastron to the right of his clavicle, right where she needed to immobilize the deadly terrapin. The mutant hissed in discomfort as his body succumbed to the pressure points and every muscle in his cumbersome frame let go of its tension leaving him helpless to the tempting woman.
Despite his arms and legs useless his lips still worked just fine, “Ain’t you full of fuckin’ surprises. Pressure points, I’ve only seen Leo use those. Looks like I seriously underestimated your abilities. I promise that won’t happen again. That is unless you plan on killin me beautiful.”
Aurora straddled his hips and leaned down settling her elbows on his chest and her head in her hands. “It’s Aurora, and don’t worry handsome those pressure points will wear off in about 15 minutes. I don’t want you dead I just wanna have a few words. You are having déjà vu because you and Leonardo have both had me, but so has Mikey and Donnie.” Saying his name out loud still hurt but the furrowing brows and a grunt of pain that came from Raphael indicated his brain was trying to access the suppressed memories. “You and Fearless would play a game practically every day. It was called ‘Who fucked the kunoichi first.’ It was a game I enjoyed being included in. You see, I know a lot about you. I know you’re just a little bigger then Leo with a slight curve to the left. You have a long scar that runs from the top of your thigh down to your knee. I know that you love your adonis line stroked.” Her right hand disappeared between them dipping under his waistband to find the well defined line of muscle just under his plastron connecting to his groin.
The immobilized turtle tried tilting his hips up into her fingers as they ran the length of the line coming to a stop just before his cock. “Fuck!” his head dropped back to the tar roof and rumbled as her fingers moved down bypassing the rock hard rod of flesh and the hanging green globes. “Ah come on!”
Aurora leaned down ghosting her lips over his, the tip of her tongue darted out running along his lower lip and he leaned up to catch the appendage sucking it into his mouth. She allowed it briefly having her first taste of Raphael in years. She opened her mouth and swept her tongue into his mouth giving him a deep kiss and broke free. “I also know your little kink.” The pad of her finger ran just under the green sacks tracing the line of flesh just under them. “I know when you get head you love to get your prostate massaged.” Just then her finger ran over the puckered entrance and the brute gasped as the soft pad of her finger pressed against the flesh just enough to make him groan.
“Fucking impossible…ugghh…..fuck……”
“I know every inch of your body Raph.” Her hand moved up again and the palm of her hand finally gave him the attention the mutant had been craving and gripped the pulsing cock firmly. Aurora closed her eyes and slowed her breathing, this was getting way out of hand but she needed his attention, his full attention and she had it now for sure. “As much as I want to ride you until we’re both sweaty and satisfied…”
“Please, dear gods, please do blondie.”  
“Your boss isn’t who you think he is Raphael. Bishop took you from me, from the resistance and put something in your bodies to make you obedient.” Her fingers slid down to the base of his shaft and twisted just the way he liked it. “And you Raphael are anything but obedient.
“Fu—hck….What the fuck are you talkin about? Fuckin shell, just-t like that!”
“It’s small and metal or some kind of alloy, we’re not sure. It moves around your body somehow keeping you and your brothers under his control. Keeping millions under his control.” Her hand released his cock and Aurora leaned up much to Raphael’s displeasure.
“I ain’t got nothing in my body controlling me. I ain’t no one’s puppet!”
“Oh I know.  You’re not one to take orders, at least without questioning their validity first. It was the main theme of yours and Leo’s fights. But why do you think it hurts when you try to remember? Why you and your brothers are drawn to me? Why the name Donnie pulls at something deep inside you? You had another brother but he disappeared and we had no idea what happened to him. It still haunts us to this day. Can you remember anything prior to five years ago? Your childhood?” Suddenly out of the corner of her eye Aurora could see his finger twitch, it was time to leave.
Her fingers rested on his chest and ran over the hard lines letting out a shaky breath and stood.
“Hey, wait! Where ya going? You can’t leave me like this? Fuckin tease!”
Aurora moved off of him and took a few steps back edging the shadows of the roof. “The feeling is coming back in your body and I can’t be here when it does. I’ll be seein you red…” And with that she disappeared from his view and began her escape listening to the roar of her name fade with the distance.
She didn’t stop; Aurora ran and ran bypassing home base just in case he would take chase. She wouldn’t take any more chances; she did enough of that tonight. Keeping to the darkness Aurora slipped below the streets and made the trek to her own personal hideout.
The lair had been abandoned shortly after Bishop earned his edge in the war. The turtles and Aurora moved to the resistance’s hideout to stay close to the news and the help. So the lair was still only known to a select few. Since the five original tenants were either gone or unable to remember its location only Aurora, Casey and April knew of its existence.
Aurora made a trip to the lair at least once a month to make sure everything was running and that it was still stocked just in case of emergencies. Just in cases the resistance fell and they needed a new place to lay low.
The vacant rooms still hurt to look at, Donnie’s lab sat with abandoned machines and projects never to be finished again. The room with the rice paper doors had been missing its owner for the longest. Running her fingers along the teak wood frame Aurora pushed it open and kneeled at the opening. In the middle of the room was a beautiful ornate Japanese table and sat upon it was a green urn filled with the remains of Master Splinter.
“Good evening Sensei, I know it’s been a while since I’ve visited but I figured you’d like an update on your sons. I had a run in with Raph this evening; he didn’t try to kill me this time so that was a bonus. I had to use a few of my tricks to get him to listen but I think I might have moved a few brain cells around a bit. I..may have kissed him but it was unavoidable. “Her eyes lifted to the vessel and let out a heavy sigh. “Ok maybe it wasn’t but….it’s been so long and I was weak. He did have something interesting to say. Supposedly I have been a regular topic of conversation with those three. That’s something I guess.” Getting back to her feet Aurora bowed. “Sensei.”
She moved about the lair until she entered their room looking at the giant makeshift bed. She remembered the day Mikey had suggested the consolidation of their sleeping arrangements. He had been so proud of himself he was simply beaming from ear to ear.
“What the fuck did ya do shell for brains?” Raphael was circling the massive arrangement of mattresses, blankets and pillows. Even though he was a bit annoyed Aurora could see the wheels spinning in his head.
Mikey took a few steps back and rushed his creation grabbing Aurora as he went. Aurora screamed in shock as the youngest hurtled her and him onto the mass with a very comfortable collision of bedding. “No more fighting over who gets to sleep with Rora. Now it’s just gonna be a giant turtle pile with her in the middle.”
Leo stood in the doorway with his massive arms crossed over his chest; his face was unreadable as he watched Mikey molest Aurora with his signature enthusiasm.
“I don’t usually say this but…..” Donnie was right next to Leo but his expression was much more readable. The big toothy grin widened and the genius followed the two into the bed helping Mikey strip the kunoichi of her clothes. “This is probably the best idea you’ve ever had Mike.”
“Leo! Raph!” Aurora squealed mock fighting off two of her lovers. “Are you gonna just sit there and let them take advantage of me like this?”
The two alphas finally found each other’s gaze and stepped from their positions. Raphael rolled his shoulders and cracked his neck while Leo slipped a kunai from his thigh holster.
“It looks like you two are taking way too long to rid her of her clothes. I think you need to let a master take over.”
Raphael moved with Leo and lunged, “Not if I get to her first Fearless.”
The introduction to the new bed was christened with their first fivesome leaving Aurora walking a little funny the next few days. She still found it unbelievable she was once in a relationship with four mutant turtles. Aurora remembered how good it was and how amazing each of them were to her. Something that good wasn’t meant to last. Life could be so cruel sometimes, a taste of heaven before it was ripped from her grasp.  
Aurora crawled into the bed and pulled the covers over herself. The interaction with Raph had left her shaken and emotionally drained, something she was not expecting for the nights events. She had nearly given in to his advances and that worried her. But then again the closer he got and the longer he was in close proximity he seemed to lose more and more control. As she mentioned things from his past Raph’s head began to hurt as if the memories were trying to resurface. Maybe she should have given in?
Their scent had left the room long ago but the indents from their shells remained. Her fingers trailed along the massive divots imagining their slumbering bodies just next to her. She imagined Raphael turning to her and his honey eyes opening to find her staring at him.
“Can’t sleep?”
“I’m just imagining you guys here with me.” Her hand reached out and ran her palm across his cheek smiling as he leaned into the touch. “I miss you.”
Raphael moved closer running his fingers through Aurora’s hair gripping the back of her skull gently, “We may not realize it but we miss you too. But I’m hopin’ you guys can figure those fuckin little things out. I wanna come home; we wanna come home to you.”
“We’re working on it I promise. It’s just gonna take a little longer without Don here to head the charge. We’ll get you home; we’ll get all of you home or die trying.”
“Nah Rora don’t do that. I can’t fuck you into next year when I’m free of this bullshit if you’re dead. You need to stay alive and strong cause this isn’t gonna get easier, it’s only gonna get harder.” Raphael leaned in giving her his signature smirk. “Speaking of harder….”
Aurora closed her eyes and waited, but like all of her other day dreams those lips never came. No arms came to claim her. By the time she opened her eyes Raphael was gone and his indent cold as death. Tears began to form in her eyes as she stared at where bulky terrapin had just been laying.  She was tired, so fucking tired.
The next thing Aurora knew, she was being jolted awake to the com flush in her ear blowing up with a familiar worried voice.
“Base to White Skull, base to White Skull. Where the fuck are you!?” April’s angry voice boomed in her ear. Just under the irritation Aurora could hear the fear in the back of her throat clawing at her subconscious praying her friend wasn’t captured or worse….. dead.
She must have fallen asleep, poor April had enough to worry about. Pressing the com in her ear Aurora yawned and replied quickly, “This is White Skull to base. My apologies I had an unannounced visit from Red Bear. I was unsure if I was being followed so I took refuge in the aquarium just in case. I didn’t want to compromise the base just in case he had gotten the best of me.”
“Are you alright?” April’s voice instantly softened understanding the code words and knowing she was safe.
Aurora let out a heavy sigh and nodded to mostly herself, “Yeah I’m ok, I must have fell asleep. I’ll return at dawn.”
“Be careful White Skull, I…..we’ll see you in a few hours. Over and out.”
As the com went cold Aurora sat up pushing the blankets from her body. Rubbing the sleep from her eyes she made her way to the kitchen for something to drink.
The genius’s sewage powered generator was still working like a dream. As long as the human race still occupied New York City there would always be an endless amount of human waste. Donnie had figured out a way to harness that power and turn it into unlimited power for the Lair. The lights remained functional, along with all the kitchen appliances as well as the bathrooms. God she missed him.
The fridge was the least supplied appliance. It held perishables and in a secret lair uninhabited most of the time it was unwise to keep it stocked with items that would go bad quickly. The freezer held most of the food and the fridge held water, pop and butter.
Pulling out a bottle of water she cracked the top and downed the whole contents in one gulp.
“Fuck!” Aurora growled throwing the now empty bottle in the trash. “My thermos! Now I gotta go get it.”
Just then a burst of light from Donnie’s lab distracted Aurora from her lost item. In a flash her hands went the hilts of her katana and unsheathed them with a low sing. Her feet made no sound as the kunoichi made her way to the partly closed door currently displaying a spectacular show of multi colors.
She could hear electricity snap and crackle and a low hum of some kind as the light show pulsed faster and faster. As she reached the partially open door to Donatello’s lab Aurora peered through the crack and felt her heart stop and burst all at the same time.
Her katanas slipped from her grip clattering to the ground at her feet. In a hurried burst of energy her fingers found the edge of the metal doors and pushed with all her might.
“DONNIE!?”

The Grim Adventures Of The Hazbin Hotel
Since I love both The Grim Adventures and Hazbin Hotel, I decided to write a crossover for them! I know that one is a kids show and the other is for adults, but both shows have dark humor in them, which I love! (Plus, Billy and Mandy has had a few adult jokes in it before.😂) Got really inspired to write this after watching the Billy and Mandy KND crossover special multiple times. Enjoy!🙂
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Charlie: After arriving in Endsville, Princess Charlie was amazed at how the town looked compared to Hell! Cleaner streets, no (or rather less) cynical faces, and no red! The supernatural stuff didn't really faze her too much since Hell was filled with that, but when weird things did happen, (things that were weird and out of the ordinary even for Hell's standards) she would just try to stay as positive as possible about them and just accept it as it being apart of the world. What Charlie appreciated most about Endsville was that it was exactly the type of place she wanted Hell to be like. Sure, there were still mean people and monsters running around, but at least they weren't completely horrible. She honestly loves the place! Being that the princess was in an environment that was alot different than her own, she got all excited about everything and wanted to explore around more! We then get the classic 'disney princess is super curious about the new world she's in and decides to explore around the place and enjoys virtually everything that said place as to offer' trope in the form of a fun montage which leads to a musical number sung by Charlie about how much she loves Endsville! While singing, other residence of the town join her and they perform a High School Musical like choreographed dance. We even get a rap verse from Irwin! (What? Don't give me that look. It's a 1 hour cartoon crossover special, gotta fill the time up with something, am I right?😉)
With Grim, she respects him alot (unlike most people in the show) because of the important role he plays as the Grim Reaper. When the skeleton goes on another one of his emotional rants on how much he despises Billy and Mandy and ends up breaking down in tears about it, Charlie pulls out a box of tissues and hands him one as she tries her best to comfort him. Mandy...she didn't like the little girl's negative and cynical attitude, but tolerates it. Billy is a nice kid but...she finds him to be a bit gross at times. Charlie can still appreciate that the boy is trying his best though! She also relates with how positive and optimistic he is in a bad situation.
Bonus: Charlie and Vaggie visit a small store that sells merchandise of three cute, super-powered little girls who all wore dresses, had large eyes, stubby arms and legs and round heads. While Vaggie was looking around in an aisle that was dedicated to the third super-powered girl who had short black hair, light green eyes, and was described on her toy box as "The Toughest Fighter", an excited Charlie rushes over to her, holding a doll of the second super-powered girl who wore a blue dress, had blonde pigtails and had a happy smile that reminded the princess of her own.
Charlie: (shows Vaggie the doll) Vaggie! Vaggie! Look! Look! Isn't she just the cutest thing you've ever seen?!
Vaggie: (boops Charlie's nose) You're the cutest thing i've ever seen.
Charlie: Look! Look! She even talks when you pull her string! Watch this! (pulls the string on the doll's back.)
Doll: Hi, my name's Bubbles! I like animals and flowers and crayons! Let's be friends!💙🐶🌼🖍️☺️
Vaggie: Vaggie is in a constant state of denial the minute she steps into Endsville. She never knew there could exist such a place that was even more absurd than Hell. Being that so much weirdness happens, she stays true to her conscious demeanor. Out of the other three, (Charlie, Angel Dust, and Alastor) she was the most concerned about how they were going to get back to the hotel. (A running joke for her would be that she'd be the only one who'd question alot of the bizarreness that happens, like questioning how some people had the strange ability to somehow look at the "camera" and talk to the "audience".) Her main expression the whole time would be her pinching the bridge of her nose and saying, "This cannot be happening." Her role throughout the special is the voice of reason.
The grey demon was tolerate of Billy when he was behaving and acting like a "normal" child, but quickly became annoyed with him when he decided to do...well...Billy things. He'd also mispronounce her name several times even after she corrects him, refer to her as a "one eyed weirdo" or "lady one eyed", and would ask her over and over again if he could try on her bow. Vaggie saw Mandy the same way she saw Alastor...as pure evil who couldn't be trusted. She eventually warms up to the vile little girl, but still has her doubts about her. Mandy, to her, gives off 'I could cause chaos and take over the world in three seconds if I wanted to' vibes. Being that he was the Grim Reaper, (you know, Death himself) Vaggie jumps straight to conclusions and thinks that Grim is a possible threat that could hurt her or someone else, but soon lowers her guard once she sees that the undead skeleton is harmless. In fact, the moth noticed that alot of the "scary monsters" in this universe weren't scary at all and didn't pose much of a threat. Once she got the chance to learn more about him and interacted with him more, Vaggie ends up getting along with Grim just fine. She liked how Grim was able to relate with her having a good reason to get upset with others due to the choices that they made that made situations even worse since he sorta goes through the same thing with Billy and Mandy. They take a break from all the wacky shenanigans to go get mud facials together and gossip about the people that peeve them off the most. It's what they deserve for having to deal with all the crap that they go through with certain characters.
Bonus: While Grim and Vaggie dig around in Grim's trunk in search for a supernatural object that can help get Vaggie and the others back to Hell, a small sight gag is that alot of the items that get pulled out from the trunk but are then tossed to the side are items from previous Billy and Mandy episodes like the magic zipper from the episode "Zip Your Fly", Billy's dinobonoid toys from the episode "Toys Will Be Toys", the Thromnambular skull from the episode "Wishbones", (one of my favs lol) as well as many others.
Angel Dust: Damn...and he thought hell was filled with freaks. Nope, this place definitely takes the cake. With a town filled with monster hunting red heads with eyepatches, who looked like they were on some serious roids and were most likely crazy, who he ends up getting into an over the top fight and shoot out duel with and after he wins they state that they only went easy on him because he was a 'girl', extremely annoying and slightly pudgy kids with glasses who used the word "yo" way too much, and old washed up senior citizen vampires who wouldn't stop flirting with him and constantly asked the spider to watch them dance for some reason, he swore he felt as though the people here were on more drugs than he was. What annoyed him the most was that everytime he'd try to make a joke, comment, or gesture that was considered "inappropriate", "problematic", or "not kid friendly" in this universe, his words/comments would somehow get bleepled out and his gestures would be censored. It frustrated him to no end. Screw it, if he couldn't make sex jokes then he's doing the next best thing...constantly breaking the fourth wall/being self aware and making suggestive innuendos!
The porn star couldn't really form too much of an opinion on Billy since the kid wouldn't even go near him. When he did, he'd just take a good long look at Angel before screaming, "AAAAA FILTHY TALL DISGUSTING LADY BOY SPIDER! DON'T LAY YOUR EGGS INSIDE OF ME!". He'd then run away and jump out of the nearest window. Overall, Billy's a weird ass kid to him. Mandy is just some rotten little girl. Angel would call her another word that started with a "b" and ended with an "h" but couldn't because he's pretty much forced to keep his language TV Y-7 (with an occasional PG rating). Grim, he thinks, is...lame, which is sad because you'd think with him being Death and all he'd be this extremely powerful being with a super long backstory that would make Angel fall asleep the minute someone started explaining it to him, but no, instead he's just some skeleton who lost a game of limbo to two kids and is now their eternal slave because of it. Angel would keep bringing that fact up to get a reaction out of Grim.
Bonus: It was a dark and spooky night. The screeching of bats - and for some reason a werewolf's howl - echoed across the sky. As the slutty spider was looking for a quick cash grab, these four teenagers and their dog pull up to him in their mystery van and immediately start to compliment Angel Dust on his amazing "costume". I mean, the costuming work just looked so realistic to them - the sharp teeth, the fluffy white chest, the red eye, the two extra arms, it really looked as though he was some sort of spider creature! Good thing he was just some guy in a costume! At least...that's what they thought. One of the teens makes a comment. "Wow, groovy costume, stranger! Though...it's a bit too early for Halloween, don't you think?" To which Angel replies with, "What the *bleep* are you hippie weirdos talkin' about? This ain't no costume! This body is all natural baby!" (Hmm, a tv show about four teenagers, their dog, and a spider solving mysteries together? ...I'd watch it lol.)
Alastor: Alastor's feelings on the Billy and Mandy universe were...mixed. On one hand, the deer demon didn't mind some of the show's zany shenanigans. In fact, he'd describe them as "wacky entertaining nonsense". On the other hand, there were some hijinx that did happen that even he was slightly weirded out by, but would pretend not to notice or care. An example of zany shenanigans he'd find entertaining were brain-eating green meteors who sang swing music, (omg imagine him in the "Little Rock of Horrors" episode) and an example of hijinx that would weird even him out were...invisible duck ghosts who...caused a person to be blamed for farting by...blowing raspberries while standing next to them??? (omg imagine him in the "Duck!" episode). Being that the show lacks one, he's definitely going to add in a laugh track! He would also be the antagonist of the special who'd try to cause chaos in both Endsville and The Underworld all while smiling and being as polite as possible.
Ah, Billy. Billy is...quite the character. Good natured, happy go lucky, optimistic...loud, idiotic, dim-witted. Alastor thought that Billy was just some brainless, moronic kid who lacked basic thinking and hygiene skills that he'd have no time or patience for. The only time Alastor would have any time for Billy is if he decided to use the big nosed boy's stupidity for his own end. Mandy...was such a cute and kind little girl! He doesn't mean that of course, he'd just say it because of how dark and brooding he is. Being that the girl was way too smart to trick, Alastor would just say little remarks to infuriate Mandy like telling her to smile. After all, you're never fully dressed without one! He finds Grim to be amusing in a way. An idea that he would come up with would be to constantly compliment the Reaper on his outfit and abilities. Grim, being Grim, would get all flattered and let his guard down. Little does Grim know that Alastor is actually secretly studying him to see if Grim possesses powers that rival his.
Bonus: A musical number that Alastor had kept being interrupted by a tubby, green, short, elephant demon. He kinda just showed up out of nowhere. No matter how many times he kept shoving him out of the way to finish his song, the childish elephant would just pop right back up and would either say his name or the word "yes" over and over again, randomly blurt out his love for nachos, frozen yogurt, and other foods, would sometimes mistake Alastor for being a magician rather than a radio announcer and would attempt to eat the shadow demons that Alastor casted and even asked Alastor in the middle of the song if he could borrow his monocle and cane for just 5 seconds before effortlessly taking them away, thanking him, and then would proceed to put the monocle on and would sing-shout into the cane, using it like a microphone. That was the final straw. Alastor would stop the song completely, lose his amiable persona and would threaten the other demon. The green demon didn't seem bothered by this and even happily asked Alastor if they could be friends and get frozen yogurt later on! This both confuses and surprises him. No, it really does. He's now stuck in confused chibi mode.
Fred Fredburger: Hey, Mr. Radio Demon! Mr. Radio Demon! Hey! Hey, Mr. Radio Demon! Uh, I have a question! I have a question, Mr. Radio Demon! Do you like music? Because I do! Hey, Mr. Radio Demon, do you like music that goes like this (starts to loudly sing the Camp Lazlo theme song) or-or this (starts to loudly sing the melody of the Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends theme song) or maybe even this (starts to loudly sing the melody of the Codename Kids Next Door theme song).
Billy: He thought that Hell was literally the coolest place ever! Pentagrams, upside down crosses and dead people everywhere?! Cool! Purges and turf wars?! Cool! Inappropriate words that were written on walls, stores, and buildings that were said by pretty much everyone 24/7 that he wasn't allowed to say due to his contract with Cartoon Network?! Cool! But wait...he was in Hell! Those bozos down at that network wouldn't hear him! Oh, he was definitely gonna say every swear word in the book! If you thought the characters in the pilot swore too much, YOU HAVEN'T HEARD BILLY YET! The dimwitted boy also really liked the hotel and agreed with Charlie's idea! Everyone deserves a second chance! Once inside, Billy met this small, red, one-eyed cleaning lady demon who talked really fast! The lady was really excited when she saw Billy for the first time! I mean, she's never met a human test monkey before in person! The boy nearly wet himself in excitement when he saw that the hotel had a naked cat man bartender with wings and a top hat! Billy was quick to rush over to the cat demon and gave him a giant hug. The "cat man" wasn't too pleased about the sudden embrace and became annoyed. Billy then spots the hotel's main phone and gets even more excited! The big nosed boy decides to make prank calls to other Cartoon Network characters.
Billy thought that Charlie was really nice! He was glad that he had the same optimism as her! He liked the puppy panda (that's what animal Billy thought Charlie was a mix of lol) princess alot! Though, one thing that did confuse Billy about Charlie was that if she really is a princess, then where on earth was her magical unicorn pony who farted out candy and rainbows? Vaggie, or was it Valerie? Raggie? Maggie? Baggie? Shaggy?? Wait, no, wrong cartoon. The girl with the X on her eye. Yeah, her. Billy got along with her just fine despite her being a major party pooper sometimes. Angel Dust...AAAAAA!!! GIANT TALL LADY BOY SPIDER!!! HE NEEDS TO BE SQUISHED ASAP BECAUSE HE'S A FILTHY, DIRTY, DISGUSTING BUG!!! A montage began of Billy coming up with creative ways to try and crush Angel Dust by using heavy objects like giant rocks, grand pianos, anvils etc, but Angel is just oblivious to it and every plan/idea Billy came up with always backfired and somehow ended up crushing him in the process. Woah...that Alastor guy...is one bad dude! A radio demon who broadcasted his carnage all throughout hell?! Awesome! Billy would want Alastor to be his friend so that he could have two supernatural buddies, his first one being Grim.
Bonus: As Billy was just happily walking around picking his nose, he had the sudden urge to go to the bathroom! Luckily, he spots a giant office building just ahead! There had to have a bathroom in there, right? When the big nosed boy quickly goes inside the building, he heads into a room where he sees three demons and a hellhound who were having some sort of meeting. When Billy asks for the bathroom, he stops mid-sentence when he spots the dry erase board in the back. The boy gets wide eyed, speeds over to it, and begins drawing a picture of himself as the Green Squeaker! His urge to want to use the restroom had somehow gone away. Meanwhile, the three red demons and the hellhound wondered who Billy was and why he was even there. The boss guy even asks, "Uh...who the fuck is this kid?". Billy didn't know why but he had this sudden feeling in his gut that him and the demon with the black and white striped horns who was sitting next to the female demon with long black eyelashes were somehow, vocally, connected with each other! He even sounded a little like him! Were they brothers?! Was this fate? Oh, wait, nevermind, it's just gas.
Mandy: For a place where you are to be burned and tortured for all eternity, Hell wasn't all that bad. To Mandy, it was like Endsville, but just colored red with a bit of the Underworld mixed in. With the hotel idea, she had a similar opinion about it as Alastor and that it's dumb and pointless to try to rehabilitate people who were in Hell, but what heck she'll go along for the ride because I mean what else is she gonna do for 30 minutes? Though, from what she's seen of the demons around here, in her mind, she's thinking that these guys are totally hopeless.
Charlie annoys her. The princess's 'sweet and cutesy but also really naive personality' reminded her too much of her shadow counterpart, and because of that she treats Charlie similar to how she treats Billy and Grim. Vaggie on the other hand was the complete opposite. A person who seemed to have the most sense out of everyone, wasn't afraid to resort to violence if needed, and was prudent? Hmm...Mandy could respect that...a little. Angel Dust was too gross and perverted for her taste. She didn't think very highly of him and saw him more as a prostitute rather than an adult film star. While Mandy did find Alastor's dark ways to be somewhat interesting, it also ticked her off because NO ONE was allowed to be more dark than her. Also, she finds his smiley and cheerful attitude to be annoying as well as his voice. Plus, he kept calling her "cute little darlin" which was a BIG no no. Looks like she has a new rival.
Bonus: Once Mandy found out that Hell had a news station, her first reaction...take it over. When she steps inside the station and immediately starts bossing the demons who were there around and ordering them to bring her things, the blonde girl was approached by an extremely irritated Katie Killjoy who told her that the only one who got to tell others what to do around here was her and that she most certainly wasn't going to be replaced by some 8 year old little shit. Mandy tells the head anchor that she doesn't listen to old hags who use too much botox on their faces, which infuriates Katie and causes her to go into full demon mode. The two then get into an epic DBZ styled anime fight but it doesn't last long as Mandy is quick to kick Katie's homophobic ass and sends her flying out in a Team Rocket sorta fashion. Everyone at the station and the viewers who were watching were shocked and speechless at what just happened and what they had all just witnessed. The station stayed completely silent for a bit until Mandy asks, "Now...does anyone else have a problem?" to which everyone, out of fear, quickly shake their heads no. It's official, Mandy was now the new head anchor and supreme ruler of 666 News (she had it changed it to "Mandy News") and now reports the news with Tom Trench who was forced to wear a Mandy outfit along with a Mandy wig every time he and her were live on air. Tom was glad that Katie was gone, but honestly, Mandy was no better.
Grim: Grim didn't mind being in Hell at all. The dark, creepy atmosphere really reminded the Reaper of his old home, The Underworld. Though, there was one thing that made his experience in the other lower world a not so enjoyable one and that was definitely the demons. He didn't like them at all. They were so rude! Their immature insults and constant making fun of his Jamaican accent caused the skeleton to whimper before bursting into tears and running away. How could they be so mean? (Okay, okay, so he gets that he's now in Hell, you know, a place where the most horrible of souls go, so he should expect most, if not all, the demons there to be total jerks, but still! He's sensitive, you know.) Grim liked how Charlie seemed to be the only one who actually respected his duty as the Grim Reaper. Sure, he thought that her hotel idea was absolutely stupid, but he warms up to it eventually. Yes, the random singing and breaking into song did get annoying, but at least she was nice, which made him respect her in a way. Vaggie was a little violent at times, but she was the most reasonable out of everyone in the hotel, so Grim spoke to her the most. He tries to stay as FAR away from Angel Dust as possible. Why? Because he doesn't really like the guy. He flirts with him WAAAY too much and makes too many sexual jokes and puns about wanting to "bone" him. At first, Alastor just seemed like some smiley, overly happy talk show demon guy, but once Grim learns about Alastor's backstory (with help from Vaggie) and witnesses some of his powers, he soon starts to get intimidated by the radio host. It's a good thing Grim didn't know much about Hell's other overlords because if he thought Alastor was scary, he'd be absolutely frightened by the other demons who were in charge.
Bonus: "Scythy! Oh, Scythy! Here Scythy, scythy! Where are you, girl? Come to Grim!" the reaper called out. No reply. He let out a sad sigh. Grim had been wandering around Pentagram City for hours in search of his scythe, but couldn't find it. Billy, for the millionth time, had swiped it behind Grim's back without his permission and when angrily confronted by the Reaper about it, the boy simply stated that he traded the scythe to some weird, evil snake guy in exchange for a cool looking peanut, which was, of course, just a regular old peanut. Grim was starting to get worried, his scythe was one of the most powerful tools that he possessed. He couldn't imagine what would happen if it were to fall into the wrong hands, no, he KNEW exactly what would happen - it could cause mass destruction and chaos, creating an imbalance in the universe and bringing about the end of time as we know it! Grim had to find it fast! Billy had mentioned that he gave the scythe away to an evil snake? Now where on Earth was Grim going to find--KABOOM! Grim was startled by the sudden explosion. He looked to see...oh. It was just that Angel Dust guy again. Great. And he was with some one eyed rocker chick??? It looked as though they were up against a snake demon and his gang of eggs. The snake kept hissing about how taking down the rocker chick and ruling all of Hell would be alot more easier thanks to his new magical scythe. Seeing his precious scythe in that snake demon's grubby hands irritated Grim. That scythe belonged to the one and only Grim Reaper, not that legless reptile. He had to find a way to get it back, and from the looks of it, that meant somehow convincing Angel Dust and his friend to join forces with him. This would certainly be an interesting team up.
Once Billy's, Mandy's, and Grim's adventure in Hell came to an end, Grim uses his scythe to open up a portal for him and the kids to head back to Endsville. Grim wishes the staff that's there the best of luck with their hotel and tells them that he'll keep in touch. Mandy rudely mutters under her breath that that's very unlikely. After saying their farewells, the gang enter inside the portal as it disappears. It seems as though the hotel was back to its normal self! Well, as normal as a hotel that was set in Hell gets.
(We see Angel and Vaggie sitting on the sofa in the lobby. They both are bewildered about the events that took place today. Endsville was such a bizzare and peculiar place and having Billy, Mandy, and Grim in Hell was even more bizzare. The other hotel staff members were there as well; Alastor was having a conversation with Husk and Niffty was partaking in her usual afternoon cleaning spree.)
Angel Dust: Sooo...uhh...that was weird.
Vaggie: I know, right? That Billy kid was the weirdest one.
Angel Dust: Am I the only one who's glad that they're gone?
Vaggie: Nope. Hey, where's Charlie?
Angel Dust: I dunno. Haven't seen her.
Cute Voice: (off screen) What are you guys talking about? I'm right here!
Angel Dust and Vaggie: (at the same time) Huh?
(Everyone in the lobby looks in the direction of where the cute, unfamiliar voice came from. It's revealed that the voice belongs none other than Bubbles from The Powerpuff Girls! She was inside the hotel and was dressed up as Charlie.)
Bubbles: (copies Charlie's manner of speaking) And starting today, there's going to be a few changes around here!
Angel Dust: (confused) Uh...what?
Alastor: (Is also confused but isn't showing it in his expression. Tilts his head a bit) Pardon me?
Vaggie: Oh no, this is bad.
Angel Dust: I know, right? Now we have two midgets.
Vaggie: No, not that! Charlie is gone!
Niffty: What are you talking about, she's right there. Though, she does look a little...different. Ooo, I know! She must have gotten a haircut or something!
Vaggie: Niffty, that's obviously not Charlie! That's just some kid dressed up as her. But wait, (to Bubbles) if you're here then that must mean that Charlie is...(slowly realizes where Charlie is and facepalms)...oh no. She didn't. She did.
(Transitions to The Powerpuff Girls universe. We get an opening shot of The City Of Townsville during the day.)
Narrator: The City Of Townsville!
(We see two light pink and light green streaks of light fly overhead. In the sky, like in the show's theme song, when Blossom flies on screen, her heroic part of the song plays, Bubble's cute part of the song plays, but she doesn't show up, and when Buttercup's tough part of the song plays, she flies on screen.)
Blossom: (notices that Bubbles isn't there and looks behind her) Uh, Bubbles?
Voice: (off screen) WHEEEE!
(The voice is revealed to be Charlie's as she flies on screen next to the two girls while happily twirling in the air in an exhilarated fashion. She's dressed up as Bubbles.)
Charlie: This is so much fun! (twirls even more) WEEEE! (puts her twirling to a quick stop to talk to her "sisters") Are you guys having fun too?
Blossom: (unsure tone) Uh, sure? I guess.
Buttercup: Not really. I mean, we pretty much fly all the time.
Charlie: Say, after we beat up that giant monster, you guys wanna go out for cupcakes? (In a sing song voice) I'm buying~!
Blossom and Buttercup: Uhh--
Charlie: Great! (zooms foward. Off screen.) WEEEE!
Blossom: (concerned) Uh, Buttercup, does something seem a little different about Bubbles?
Buttercup: (in envy and shock) Yeah, since when did she get taller?! Especially before me!
Blossom: It's not just her height. Everything seems different about her today. Agree to talk to the Professor about this when we get home?
Buttercup: Agree.
(Blossom and Buttercup zoom forward to catch up with "Bubbles". The standard Powerpuff Girls heart closing screen comes up.)
Narrator: So once again the day is saved thanks to...(Blossom appears) Blossom! (Charlie appears) Bubb--uh, I mean, Charlie! (Buttercup appears) and Buttercup! (The classic "THE END" screen from the tv show appears. The screen cuts to black. The credits roll.)
As the credits roll and "Bitter Letter" by BERRY ROLL (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=VWS26DTopag) begins to play, we see what Charlie and Bubbles have done after the ending of the crossover special as their new character roles. In the first picture, in The Powerpuff Girls universe, we see Blossom, Charlie (still dressed as Bubbles), and Buttercup battling a giant monster, with the text on the picture saying, "Charlie gives up on her hotel dreams to become a Powerpuff Girl.". In the second picture, Charlie and the two actual Powerpuff Girls (Blossom and Buttercup) are sitting down at a table in a cupcake shop, happily partaking in cupcakes (a small sight gag is that the 5 cute cupcakes that are on the cupcake stand on the table are decorated to look like Vaggie, Angel Dust, Alastor, Niffty, and Husk). The text on the picture says, "She also buys cupcakes." In the third picture, in the Hazbin Hotel universe, we see that the outside of the hotel has gone from it's usual red color scheme to a bubblegum pink one. The building (along with the sign) is covered in glitter and cute stickers. The text on the picture says, "Princess Bubbles decided to make a few changes to the hotel." In the fourth picture, we see that the interior of the hotel is the same as the outside as it is also pink and has things covered in glitter and stickers. Bubbles also has some of her cute childlike drawings on the walls. The blue Powerpuff, still dressed as Charlie, standing next to a can of pink paint and holding in one hand a bottle of glitter and in the other a pack of stickers, smiles with satisfaction at the work that she's done. Meanwhile, Angel, Vaggie, and Husk look at the changes that Bubbles has made to the place in utter confusion, while Alastor glares menacingly at a cute picture of a dog that's on the wall that Bubbles drew. The only one who seems to like the hotel's girly makeover is Niffty, who's one eye shines in amazement at how the place now looks. The picture text says, "ALOT of changes." In the fifth picture, Charlie and Bubbles (still dressed as each other) are smiling and hugging as hearts are above them. The picture text says, "New besties!" The rest of the end credits consists of pictures of crossovers of different Hazbin characters in different Cartoon Network shows. In the first picture, in the Powerpuff Girls universe, we see the girls (Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup) in their room with Charlie and Vaggie. Charlie (still dressed as Bubbles) and Bubbles (still dressed as Charlie) are having a tea party with Octi and Bubbles' other stuffed animal toys, Vaggie (dressed as Blossom) and Blossom (dressed as Vaggie) smile as they complement each other on their new bows, and Buttercup excitedly flies around the room with Vaggie's spear. The pillows on the Powerpuff's bed are in tatters due to Buttercup using the spear on them. Vaggie, busy in conversation with Blossom, doesn't notice the third Powerpuff with her weapon. The text on the picture says, "Looks like the girls have some new friends!"
In the second picture, in Johnny Bravo's universe, we see Johnny proposing to Angel Dust, who looks both shocked and touched by this. The text on the picture says, "Johnny finally decides to propose." In the next picture, we see the both of them getting married (Johnny wearing the tux as the groom and Angel wearing the dress as the bride) as the text says, "The Wedding." And the third set of pictures are pictures that show off Johnny and Angel Dust's new life together as a couple doing couple activities such as going on dates, holding hands, having a picnic, and singing karaoke at a karaoke bar. The text says "Johnny Bravo x Angel Dust 4ever!"
(Btw Johnny has no idea that Angel Dust is a guy lol.)
In the third picture, in the Courage The Cowardly Dog universe, the sky in the middle of nowhere, which is now a blood red hue color, is covered in hoodoo symbols as Courage, Muriel, and Eustace scream while fleeing towards the farmhouse to safety as they are being chased by an army of Alastor's shadow demons. Alastor, who is now in his full demon form, is broadcasting his carnage all throughout the farm. The text on the picture says, "Seems like Courage has a new foe to face."
In the fourth picture, in the Teen Titans universe, inside Titans Tower, we see that all five of the superhero teens are stunned to see a small, one eyed yellow demon with short red hair (aka Niffty) happily tidying up their home with vigorous speed. The text on the picture says, "The Titans now have a maid! And boy, is she a cutie!" In the next photo, we see Niffty, along with the Titans, wearing different colored maid outfits. Niffty, (wearing a black maid outfit) shows off a happy grin while holding a duster and holds a peace sign near her eye, Robin (wearing a red maid outfit) is holding a spray bottle and cloth, and, from the expression on his face, isn't really digging the maid outfit like Niffty is since it isn't really his style, Raven (wearing the purple maid outfit) is holding a mop and is standing next to a bucket filled with soapy water. Like Robin, she isn't a big fan of the outfit either and the look on her face is just her usual gloomy, bored one. Starfire, on the other hand, is the exact opposite! She's beaming in utter delight and excitement as she joyfully twirls around in her new uniform while holding the ends of the dress. Cyborg and Beastboy (Cyborg wearing a blue maid outfit and Beastboy wearing a green one) are both being dorks, doing silly heroic poses. The text on the picture says, "T-e-e-n! T-i-t-a-n-s! Teen Titans! Let's Clean!"
In the fifth picture, in the Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends' universe, inside the Foster Home itself, we see Eduardo giving Husk a kind and sincere crushing bear hug. The purple monster was super elated by the new "imaginary friend" who had just arrived at the house! Husk, on the other hand, was clearly annoyed by the affection. Mac, Wilt, and Coco also were thrilled to see a new face at Foster's! Bloo seemed to be the only one who wasn't as excited as the others, making a facial expression that said, "What the heck kinda kid imagined this guy? Were they on something?" The text on the picture says, "Foster's has a new friend!"
In the sixth picture, in the Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi universe, inside a photo booth, we see Ami, Yumi, and Cherri Bomb posing in a photo picture. The captions that are next to each of them say their names in japanese kanji with emojis. For Ami, it's "大貫 亜美💖🎤" for Yumi, it's "吉村 由美💙💀" and for Cherri, it's "チェリーボム🍒💣". The text on the picture says "Hi Hi Cherri AmiYumi!".
In the seventh picture, in the Codename: Kids Next Door universe, in the KND treehouse, we see an action-packed battle between Sir Pentious and the Kids Next Door going on. Sir Pentious, of course, is backed up by his egg henchmen, while each KND member has their weapon. The text on the picture says, " Sir Pentious vs. The Kids Next Door! Who will win?"
In the eighth picture, in the Samurai Jack universe, two of Sir Pentious' egg henchmen are making up an adventure as one of them is dressed as Samurai Jack and the other one is dressed as Aku. The text on the picture says, "A Japanese samurai must embark on a mission to defeat the evil shape-shifting wizard Aku? Ooo, this looks egg-citing!"
In the ninth picture, in Chowder's universe, at the catering company, inside the kitchen, we see Molly and Chowder getting along just fine as they both work together to decorate a cake with frosting that has the same colors as the italian flag. The cake also has decorative toothpick italian flags sticking all over it. The two also have a bit of cake frosting on their faces and clothes (Molly even has a bit in her hair). Meanwhile, in the background, we can see Truffles flirting with Henroin, trying to get some of that spider you know what, (😏😉😏😉😩🕷️🍆💦🍆💦) and Henroin is OBVIOUSLY not up for it, giving the cashier a look that says, "Yeah, uh, hell no." We also see Mung and Schnitzel running away in utter terror from a food monster that's chasing them as Arackniss tries stopping the beast by shooting his gun at it. Molly and Chowder don't seem to see or notice the craziness that's going on in the background behind them. The text on the picture says, "Chowder is cookin' up some trouble with the mob!"
In the tenth picture, we see Chowder, (wearing Angel Dust's / Anthony's old 1940's suit and hat) Molly, Arackniss, and Henroin in a family photo. Chowder and Molly seem to be the only ones who are genuinely happy as they both have smiles on their faces, while Arackniss has his usual frown on his face, and Henroin just facepalms. The text on the picture says, "Chowder joins the family business!"
(I have a headcanon that Chowder joined because he found out that people who are in the mob get to wear a cool hat and suit, and also because he thinks that by being in the mafia he'll get an unlimited supply of italian food.)
In the eleventh picture, in the Dexter's Laboratory universe, in Dexter's lab, we see Dexter and Baxter working together on a science experiment. Meanwhile, in the background, Dee-Dee is doing what she does best - running around in Dexter's lab, happily destroying things. The text on the picture says, "Two Brains Are Better Than One".
In the twelfth picture, in the Scooby Doo universe, we see the gang and Fat Nuggets riding inside the mystery van. Fred, of course, is the one behind the wheel. The gang seem thrilled to have Fat Nuggets ride along with them, and Fat Nuggets (wearing a Sherlock Holmes costume) looked delighted to be accompanying the team. The text on the picture says, "Looks like the Scooby Gang have a 6th member!" In the thirteenth picture, Scooby and Fat Nuggets are with each other. Scooby was happily giving Fat Nuggets a piggyback ride. The demon pig (still dressed as Sherlock) was enjoying the ride that his new dog pal was giving him. The text on the picture says, "Scoob and Nuggs!"
In the last picture, in the Class of 3000 universe, at a park, we see a dance battle being held as Razzle and Dazzle dance alongside Sunny Bridges and his students. Razzle and Dazzle were having the time of their lives as well as Sunny and the kids. The text on the picture says, "Razzle and Dazzle really know how to throwdown!"
Once the end credits finish, the epilogue starts. In the Ed, Edd n Eddy universe, at Eddy's house, we see The Eds in the living room. An irritated Eddy is sitting on the couch with his arms crossed, Ed is in his underwear splashing about in the small inflatable pool that was inside the house as two empty pizza boxes float inside. There were also pizza boxes that were near the pool, but the "pizza" in them was really just dirt in the shape of pizza with some grass sprinkled on top as the cheese. The sign that was on the front side of the pool read "Ed Edd n Eddy's Indoor Pizza Pool Party!🍕🏊" Edd (also known as Double D) was the pool's lifeguard, holding a rescue buoy.
Eddy: This stinks!
Edd (Double D): What does, Eddy? Another failed scheme? We should be use to these by now.
Ed: Look at me Double D! I'm swimming! (Splashes in the pool) Splash, splash, splash!
Edd (Double D): Yes, Ed, I can see that.
Eddy: I ain't talking about the scheme, i'm talking about the credits!
Edd (Double D): Credits?
Eddy: The end credits! We didn't make one single appearance!
Edd (Double D): But Eddy--
Eddy: Now that I think about, we didn't even get to make a cameo in the special! I don't even think we've had our own crossover before. Can you believe that, Double D?! We've been working for this stinkin' network for years now and not once did we ever get to crossover with anyone!
Ed: Boy, the cartoon industry sure is a rough one, ain't it, Eddy?
Eddy: You can say that again.
Edd (Double D): Cheer up, Eddy. Only time will tell.
(The doorbell rings.)
Edd (Double D): That's strange, I didn't expect anyone to actually show up.
Eddy: (his irritation quickly turns to excitement as dollar signs appear in his eyes) They must be here for the pool party! (At Double D): Sockhead, go answer the door! (Rubs his hands together) Will be rich in no time!
(Meanwhile, at Ed's house, in Sarah's room, a tea party is going on. We see the red haired girl dressed up in a queen costume, Jimmy dressed up in a prince costume, and Moxxie is wearing a long, flowery dress and a summer hat. While Sarah and Jimmy seem to be having a fun time, Moxxie, of course, isn't, annoyed by the whole situation.)
Sarah: (giggles) Isn't this fun, Prince Jimmy?
Jimmy: It sure it, Queen Sarah! (Picks up the tea pot that's on the table.) More tea?
Sarah: Don't mind if I do! (Jimmy pours tea from the pot into Sarah's plastic tea cup. She takes a sip of the drink.) Mmm, delicious!
Moxxie: (facepalms) Ugh, this is so embarrassing!
Jimmy: Uh oh, Queen Sarah, it seems our new toy, Mr. Snugglekins, isn't having a good time.
Sarah: *gasps* That's no good! We'll have to fix that!
Moxxie: (irritated) For the last time, I. AM NOT. A TO--
Sarah: (stuffs some cake into Moxxie's mouth) Here, have some cake!
Jimmy: (with a plate of cookies) Try some of my amazing homemade cookies! They're fresh baked! (shovels cookies into Moxxie's mouth.)
Moxxie: (face filled with food) What the--?! (Immediately spits / coughs out the sweets.) Gross! That's disgusting!
Sarah: He must really like them, Jimmy!
Jimmy: We need to get more!
(Sarah and Jimmy quickly run out of the room to get more food.)
Moxxie: (gives them a "What the hell." look before sighing and looking into the camera at the audience.) I should have stayed in bed today.
For the epilogue picture, we see Blitzo, Eddy, Edd, Moxxie, Ed, Millie, Loona, and Jonny 2x4 at a sales stand that was being ran outside of Ed's house. The sign on the top of the stand reads, "Blitzo and Eddy's Cheap Bullsh*t Sale! Everything's only a quarter! This is NOT a scam!" The items that are being sold at the stand are mainly cheap, worthless objects, along with bobbleheads of Blitzo, Moxxie, Millie, Loona, the Eds, and an Angel Dust body pillow for some reason. Blitzo and Eddy, both wearing top hats, (Blitzo wearing two through his horns) fake mustaches, and monocles stand in front in a 'welcome to the stand' pose as their direction is pointed in front of the store. They both have mischievious grins on their faces. Moxxie and Edd (Double D) are the sellers at the stand. They both look very tired and annoyed with everything. Millie and Ed happily hold up promotional signs for the stand. Loona is holding Plank, a question mark above her head as she wonders why she's holding this piece of wood and not her phone, while Jonny walks away from the stand with Loona's phone in his hand. The bald boy seems to take a liking to her device. The text on the picture says, "Helluva Eds: Coming in Summer 2090!"

Lovely Good Omens fandom! Many of you have asked for/mentioned having a text version of the Yelp reviews, which if I were a better person I would have remembered to include in the first place. Better late than never? So here’s a version below and I also threw this up on AO3 so there are options. For the record, I’m not at all trained in transcribing visual media, so if anyone wants to add to/edit/do whatever to this post, especially to make it more accessible, you have carte blanche to do so 👍
Also I typed this up in a hurry so, as always, apologies for any typos.

So I slipped into this place because I spotted my ex across the street and would have rather chugged a cocktail of bleach, lighter fluid, and a condensed solution of all my middle school years then talk to that asshole. Owner was on me the second I walked through the door and I thought he was gonna be one of those ‘Either buy something or get out’ types. Nah. I spilled the story, said I really wasn’t looking to purchase anything, and he LIT UP like nobody’s business. He gave me tea and promised I’d never run into my ex again. Which is a super sketchy promise on its own and also should have been hilarious coming from a guy a century behind in style.
...Kinda believed him though.

Pretty sure this guy wants a library, not a bookshop. I mean, he’s nice and all when you first come in, but trying to actually buy a book? Good fucking luck. He’s too busy to see you right now (for the record he’s super bad at pretending to be busy). Or claims that this book has already been put on reserve (then why wasn’t it in the reserve pile...?). Or the price suddenly jumped an obscene amount. Or he just straight up hems and haws until you get fed up and leave. I watched him pull a novel straight out of a woman’s hands once when she claimed that price was no object and she wouldn’t be leaving the store until she’d purchased it. You’d think she was trying to kidnap one of the guy’s kids!
So yeah. Feel like popping in to browse, maybe take pictures for your research, all while making quiet conversation with someone who quite frankly knows his stuff? This is the place for you. Want to actually buy something? Go elsewhere. Pretty sure Fell doesn’t even own a cash register. At least I’ve never seen one. 
He wants a library and I’d honestly tell him as much if he didn’t scare me just a little bit...

I stayed here for three days once. Found a bathroom off the romance section and a chair hidden away in the back. Way comfier than my mattress at home. Mostly played iPhone games and kept real quiet at night. Experiment ended when I popped out for breakfast and didn’t make it back before a random 10:00am closing. Don’t think the owner ever realized what was up.

I really love this place. I’ve been coming here since I moved to London, about twelve years ago, and it’s one of the most soothing bookstores I’ve ever had the pleasure of visiting. Yeah, you hear talk of weird things going on at Fell’s, but really? We could all do with a bit more quirky in our lives. And Fell provides that in spades: Annual plants that never seem to wither, let alone die. The smell of incense mixing with cocoa. Strange books tucked horizontally into the shelves, feeling like they have a touch of magic to them. Nonsensical conversations taking place in dark corners (I’m talking candid chats about the apocalypse and whether angels could actually bless all the rains down in Africa. I swear Fell and his boyfriend are the religion Mythbusters or something.) I’m going to sound like a total nerd here for a moment, but it feels like some sort of liminal space. You know when you were a kid and you were just desperate to receive your Hogwarts letter? Or find your own wardrobe to Narnia? That’s what walking into Fell’s feels like. Like you’ve finally found that portal and can stay as long as you like, provided you don’t try to take anything back with you into the ‘real’ world. Hell, maybe that’s why he won’t let anyone buy his books.

I’m not gonna pretend I have anything to say about whether this is a good bookstore or not, but if you ever want knitting help you should definitely stop by. Mr. Fell knows an absurd amount about crafts for a guy who looks like my grandpa and he’s now replaced Youtube as my go-to for alleviating “Omg please fix this how the hell did I manage to reverse the pattern??” panic. For the record, I didn’t just wander up to a random bookseller one day and demand that he help me salvage the ruins of my first sweater. I’d taken a seat inside to wait out a storm, had my messy sleeve stuffed into my purse, and he’d offered the help. Bit of a bastard about things like gauge and color--not everyone wants to wear tartan, dude--but you get used to that. He means well. Said I should come back to show him the finished piece, which I did. Things just kind of spiraled from there. He’s an absolute treasure trove of knowledge once you get him talking and a muffin to boot. If he were twenty years younger and in any way straight I would have asked him out in a heartbeat. As it is I’m considering setting him up with Grandpa.

I’m not really a book person myself but I followed my wife in with our seventh-month old and was kinda embarrassed when he started making a fuss. Normally I’m full Badass Mom mode while in public--I’ve got a kid to feed, change, sooth, and you all can damn well deal with it--but this place was so quiet Liam seemed extra loud in comparison. I was about to take him back out when a man appeared out of nowhere. The owner I guess, based on how some of these other reviews describe him. Older gentleman with clothes out of some period piece. Anyway, he scoops Liam into his arms like he was born for it and started bouncing. Our fussy, temperamental, drama queen Liam settled in an instant and my wife got to browse to her heart’s content. I don’t know how he did it, but that man is an absolute angel. Full stars for that moment alone.

Run by this delightfully frumpy guy who sometimes hands out biscuits from a sewing tin like my gran used to. He asked me if I was looking for anything in particular and I told him my name was Jared, I was 19, but sadly I’d never learned how to read. I have NEVER seen a man more confused in my life. 10/10 would meme him again.

I’m setting the record straight here since there are a bunch of reviews claiming it’s just London folklore: there is a snake at A.Z. Fell’s. Must be an exotic pet he usually keeps upstairs because I’ve only ever seen it twice. Is it big? Yes. Scary? Fuck yes, but I’ve never seen it do anything more than give a warning hiss at this drunk who wandered in and started yelling. (Are snakes good guard dogs? This one is.) The other time he was just chilling on top of one of the shelves. Snoozing, I guess. I asked Mr. Fell if I could pet him and he said maybe after he woke up, but then I had to get to class and all. 
Afraid of snakes? Steer clear. Otherwise I’d really recommend popping in and seeing if he’s around. Idk, maybe I’m just a snake fan but he looks super sweet and chill. Life is short. Boop the snake snoot.

I live down the street from A.Z. Fell’s and let me tell you, this place is spooky as fuck. All sorts of weird lights and noises coming from it. At all times of the day and night too. Either this bowtie wearing bookworm has one crazy sex life or the place is haunted. Jury’s out on which.

This shop smells. Not that old book smell either, oh no, but like something is molding. I took my little Johnny in here to try and get him interested in something other than those damned video games and I walk into what smells like a whole cloud of toxic mold! My boy has a weak constitution as it is and if he comes down with anything I will be pressing charges, you mark my words.

Has anyone read this guy’s opening hours? I included a photo above: “I open the shop on most days about 9:30AM perhaps 10:AM. While occasionally I have opened the shop as early as 8, I have been known not to open until 1.” Absolutely insane. This guy’s a madman and I love him. If anyone actually manages to get into this place please let me know because I need to shake Fell’s hand.

Hey, Ace wouldn’t mean opposed to romance!
Thanotos Omega
Actually plenty of ACE people are fully open to romance, and things like cuddling and kissing ect or even having sex, they just get nothing out of the last one
MaidenFinefeather
Aro thenI though Ace could be used an umbrella term if they are both Ace and Aro, but based on objections, I guess I was wrong!
Thanotos Omega
Nah it's OK,
GhastlyGhifin
Ooh, who we talkin' about with Aro?
MaidenFinefeather
Went back and edited it
Thanotos Omega
Ren
GhastlyGhifin
Sure, I can see that
Kinda.
MaidenFinefeather
Tumblr media
As apposed to "Kiss the Cook"
Thanotos Omega
Yeah, but that could also just be a way to keep Nora at bay, she's probably tried to use every excuse she can to get some action and Ren refuses to leave her an opening until he's ready,
MaidenFinefeather
Oh, that's a possibility...
Depends if the writers even knew Aro's exist or not.
GhastlyGhifin
Usually not, if the character's human.
MaidenFinefeather
Which, sadly, isn't common knowledge
Yet
Thanotos Omega
calling it now Nora just outright grabs the bottle in turns it strait at Ren during spin the bottle and Ren is sick of it because he uses really expensive breath mints,

Cronus Gets Tortured, and then Learns Some Stuff about Boundaries and Identity
I’m going to start all this off with an ooc description of things, because this gets pretty intense in bits. A tldr with added trigger warning, if you will. 
Ringleader messages Cronus about being an insensitive prick regarding the ‘gutterblood rights’ post, then the conversation moves on to lusus death (a la, what was going on with Meulin at the time, though she’s not mentioned directly at all), how wasteful Alternia is, and then on to torture. During that talk, there’s a lot of mentions of parent/animal death, then referring to people as objects that can be disposed of, in an abstract sense, and then obviously, Harming and Killing people, for Fun and Dubious Amounts of Profit. 
Ringleader convinces Cronus it would be no big deal to torture him for a bit, and doesn’t take no for an answer. (Manipulation, coercing, lack of respect for boundaries.) And then they meet up! Cronus is waterboarded, Ringleader is way lighter about it than he really should be, primarily in the confession he forces Cronus to make, and then they make out! Weird, but these two are who they are.
Cronus presses more, hoping for sex to happen. Ringleader says no. Cronus says ‘but whyyyy’ and Ringleader gets pissed about it. A conversation about consent and rape occurs, that leads into highblood standards, respect, and who Cronus wants to be and what he values. 
This is a Very dense log, y'all, with a lotta intense stuff. Two kinda shitty people meeting, and one of them trying to make the other Less shitty, with some admittedly poor judgement. Overall, a Dubiously happy, or at least thought provoking, ending.
Anyway! If that sounds like you would enjoy reading it, read on! If not, you now know a general plot synopsis and can avoid reading it while still knowing all relevant details! If the chat log appeals to you but the roleplay itself doesn’t, you can read that too! 
carnivalsoration honk
vwarlordvwanderlust hey there, babe!
carnivalsoration :o)
vwarlordvwanderlust vwhat's up?
carnivalsoration i will make out with you if you promise not to reblog that gutterblood pride post again.
vwarlordvwanderlust see, THIS is a bold and innovwativwe method more people should try.
carnivalsoration hahahahaha is that a yes
vwarlordvwanderlust you also could'vwe just asked. but too late, no take backs. hell yeah.
carnivalsoration hahahahahahahaha
vwarlordvwanderlust (also that's a joke. there are take backs. it's all just jokes. )
carnivalsoration good boy, thats a good ad on
vwarlordvwanderlust haha. i do my best.
carnivalsoration :o) i could explain why i don't want you to say it, if ya wanna hear it or you could guess, since i'm kinda curious
vwarlordvwanderlust i just figured it vwas annoying. you specified that particular post, and not the vword, is it the vword.
carnivalsoration it's the word and the implication it's. it's just the whole thing, brother the whole damn thing
vwarlordvwanderlust yeah? vwhat implication?
carnivalsoration for you this is an inconvenience for a bit. for other people, this is their life. you don't earn the right ta use that word by your glorified lowblood tourism
vwarlordvwanderlust huh.
> So he's not *that* Alternian. 🤔
carnivalsoration > Ooo motherfucker.
do ya get what i mean? you can't have pride about somethin that you're not even really a part of.
vwarlordvwanderlust it vwas a joke. but yeah for sure, OBVWIOUSLY.
carnivalsoration and what about it is funny? like, can you just explain it to me?
vwarlordvwanderlust it's okay to not get jokes.
carnivalsoration no, i wanna get it.
vwarlordvwanderlust it's just a dumb lowvblood thing people say, you knowv, that i'm saying, because i'm kinda a lowvblood, for nowv.
carnivalsoration huh. and that's... funny?
vwarlordvwanderlust > This is the worst thing that's ever happened.
i mean. it's just one of those things.
carnivalsoration aight.
vwarlordvwanderlust look they can't all be vwinners!!!!!!!!
carnivalsoration you reblogged it though, you thought it was pretty good
vwarlordvwanderlust vwe all havwe different tastes. anyvways.
carnivalsoration yeah. what would you do if ya lusus died?
vwarlordvwanderlust > Weird foreplay but okay. > Clowns.
be sad.
did you vwant a longer ansvwer, or did you just leavwe.
carnivalsoration oh, oops. i got distracted. but like. how much would it change your life
vwarlordvwanderlust a lot. but i mean. i'll need to leavwe him anyvways.
carnivalsoration fun fact. i killed my lusus
vwarlordvwanderlust oh. vwhy?
carnivalsoration cuz that was the tradition at the time. indigos wouldn't get orphaned before adulthood on the condition that when they became a subjug, they'd kill their lusus themselves. and so that's what happened. i hella slaughtered him. it was a mess hahaha
vwarlordvwanderlust haha. yeah.
carnivalsoration i'm just talkin at this point
vwarlordvwanderlust vwhy? i mean don't get me vwrong. i lovwe our talks.
carnivalsoration i just ponder things sometimes. i'm old, i got a lotta memories to peruse what's your alternia like?
vwarlordvwanderlust big question, chief. dunno howv to ansvwer that.
carnivalsoration how often do people murder their lusus
vwarlordvwanderlust i don't knowv. probably not a ton. seems like a vwaste.
carnivalsoration hahaha remember what i said the other night? alternia likes nothin quite so much as waste
vwarlordvwanderlust alternia is cutthroat and efficient. may not alvways be pretty, but hey. it gets the job done.
carnivalsoration hahahaha. wrong. healthcare that involves replacing limbs instead of mending. killin people for any old thing and raisin all new people, like i said. you coulda imprisoned them and got free labor. killin reproductive failures. because you can still make THEM work. that ain't efficiency.
vwarlordvwanderlust that's efficient! you don't need to deal vwith upkeep if you toss a thing in the garbage vwhen it breaks, same vwith people. mm.
carnivalsoration efficiency is using a tool as long as it's useful. killin other planets rather than enslaving them. using lowbloods as fodder in just the stupidest ways. you could have them maneuver big heavy things or control animals at the front line or whatever. also. mechanical limbs cost a lot in upkeep too, just as a bonus destroying rather than fixing is just a thing. it's all brute force casual sadism, gloating over enemies rather than just offin em. imagine all the hot babes that were offed cuz they broke an ankle. or cuz they were kinda stupid once or they puked killin somethin the first time, which is another way alternia wastes life. beaurocracy is a HUGE waste of time plus it makes ya wanna beat your brains out with the stack of paperwork ya have to do land and sea trolls in competition, which wastes highblood life on dumbass feuds underfeedin slaves and workin them to death way before their natural lifespan. food ain't that expensive
vwarlordvwanderlust evwery system has SOME flawvs.
carnivalsoration yeah, but alternia's is that it just loves waste it fuckin can't get enough of it fuck, i tortured and killed thousands of people when i coulda tortured them and then put them to work .... probably hundreds of thousands.... i wonder if i broke a million
vwarlordvwanderlust vwell. i assumed that vwas, you knowv. pleasure, not business. but vwe all havwe flavws.
carnivalsoration oh, it's both. the fact i did it for fun doesn't change the fact i was definitely expected to do it
vwarlordvwanderlust vwell the system gets stuff done.
carnivalsoration oh, the number of troll screams i heard... the number of crimes confessed.... so many confessed to crimes that we found out they didn't even commit! just to make the agony stop
vwarlordvwanderlust the probability of false confessions is actually ovwerplayed by certain rebellious type groups, it's still mostly good intel.
> You should know, you consume imperial propaganda religiously!
carnivalsoration .... i .......... i tortured them myself all the time three a night, at least for centuries there is a LOT of false confessions a LOT of time wasted researching the falsities
vwarlordvwanderlust is it most of them?
carnivalsoration oh yeah. like 70% of the info you get from any one person is likely to be false. sometimes more, sometimes less, and about 90% of the time, the truths they do tell aren't worth your time to even pursue
vwarlordvwanderlust so vwe need to be more selectivwe in vwho vwe torture and vwhat vwe ask.
> Bold of you to say we, there.
carnivalsoration i'm kinda curious where you got the info about how false confessions are overplayed OH SHIT. I SHOULD HELP YOU GET USED TO TORTURE SOUNDS
vwarlordvwanderlust okay the tone of those tvwo messages is vwildly different.
carnivalsoration i just get excited sometimes
vwarlordvwanderlust it's pretty common knowvledge used to counter rebel propaganda. the real number is like 1%. ...here, i mean. i'm not accusing you of lying. hey, maybe our timelines are different.
carnivalsoration hey, if you're so sure, i bet i could do non-destructive torture on you and get you to confess to something that isn't true.
vwarlordvwanderlust that sounds bad and not fun!
carnivalsoration one hour. it isn't even that long. plus imagine how impressed people would be to know you can withstand torture
vwarlordvwanderlust > You start typing: "okay this is vwhy evweryone assumed you're a serial k" > Hm. That last one is a good message, though.
you don't think i can.
carnivalsoration i don't think you can
vwarlordvwanderlust you're the expert, i guess.
> God it would be so fucking impressive though.
carnivalsoration but i don't know for sure, since timeline differences. i don't wanna spread false information, specially if it helps rebels
vwarlordvwanderlust > GOD THAT'S SUCH A GOOD POINT.
okay but it's gotta vwait six nights.
carnivalsoration how come?
vwarlordvwanderlust not because i'm putting it off or anything, because i'm in a rustie body.
carnivalsoration why does that matter? the people most frequently tortured are lowbloods and i did say i wouldn't damage you. no knives, no electricity, nothin
vwarlordvwanderlust huh. yeah, i guess so. vwhat'll you do?
carnivalsoration waterboard
vwarlordvwanderlust so not to be ovwerly critical but like.
Tumblr media
are you going to cause BRAIN DAMAGE. this seems vwild.
carnivalsoration i'm an expert, would i cause brain damage in one of my friends just for kicks? look up how long the average rustblood can hold their breath. gimme that long. not even an hour, just a little bit
vwarlordvwanderlust one to tvwo minutes... vwe'll say tvwo. or three or vwhatevwer idc. you think this is THAT bad???
carnivalsoration yeah
vwarlordvwanderlust > If this guy ends up torturing you to death, even the like one person who'd care, wouldn't care after reading this conversation. This would be a dumb fucking decision. This is so stupid, you'd absolutely regret this, there's only one answer you could plausibly give.
yeah, okay.
carnivalsoration aight. i'll give ya new coordinates
vwarlordvwanderlust not gonna be a cool outdoorsy forest vwibe for this torture sesh? hahaha
carnivalsoration we could move it to inside in my block and then make out
vwarlordvwanderlust nice!
carnivalsoration right?? you get tortured, come out fine, and then get to make out. what a fuckin nice night, right?
vwarlordvwanderlust okay it's not the night you think vwill happen though. you're just humoring me. but you're vwrong, so
carnivalsoration i'll make out with you either way
vwarlordvwanderlust it vwon't come up, haha.
carnivalsoration :o* [coords.txt]
vwarlordvwanderlust > Swoon.
😘❗
vwait.
carnivalsoration :o?
vwarlordvwanderlust okay no this isn't me pussying out i promise it's just. my transportalizer pass is for like. me. so is my id. saness and mituna and people just like. got here, though.
carnivalsoration mmmm. aight, what's ya coords? also tell me where a big bathtub is
vwarlordvwanderlust okay, sorry to be all annoying. oh uh. okay yeah.
carnivalsoration chill out, i ain't fussed
vwarlordvwanderlust > This is rough, on account of, you know. Being kicked out of your hive. But it's probably best not to do it there anyways, so off you go, trespassing on abandoned properties to scope out the bathrooms. Eventually you find something good enough, fairly recently vacated, and send coordinates.
> This is going to be cool.
carnivalsoration > Fucking Arrive! You are trying not to be too excited about being able to torture someone, but you're still pretty hype. You have all the things you'll need. Plenty of water to waste, a cloth to wrap around his face, your recording app open on your phone to record when he isn't looking.
vwarlordvwanderlust > You're only about as nervous as you were before you went hunting (and that turned out so great).
> You grin and wave. This time, you lack any purple in your outfit, and your eyes are red, and you don't have fins, but you look basically the same.
"Hey there, doll. Howv's it going?"
> It's not stalling if it's just a little bit.
carnivalsoration "Pretty damn good so far. You aight gettin your clothes wet, or should we take em off?" You raise eyebrows at him a few times. Waggle.
> Don't be too eager, Makara.
vwarlordvwanderlust > You pull on your shirt, thinking about no just kidding it's always good to take off your shirt. You're vulnerable enough without taking off your pants, though.
"This alright vwith you, doll?"
> You can eyebrow waggle with the best of them. Hitting on people is good.
carnivalsoration > Touch a tit. "Nice." Hitting on people Is good.
> You pull out a scrap of fabric and smile. "Lemme blindfold ya, brother." You're thinking about things that are ridiculous enough that it'll make it funny to confess to but that he won't be offended about later.
vwarlordvwanderlust > Nice.
> See, the thing is that this is such a good and valid sexy scenario if you forget about the torture that's definitely going to happen.
"Sure, yeah."
> You cooperate with a nervous laugh.
carnivalsoration > Blindfold: On. You make sure to adjust it just right, so he can't see you. "I'm going to lead you to the tub now," you say, softly.
> And you do, gently, and telling him to mind the ledge. All you really need is a drain. And water, of course. But you've got that.
vwarlordvwanderlust "Gotcha."
> It's surprisingly disorienting, being led around a fairly unfamiliar environment blindfolded, even for such a short distance. You're already feeling a little nervous about this.
> Maybe the professional torture guy who got people to say stuff that went against their own interests knows what he's talking about with regards to torture?
> But maybe you're just an unstoppable badass. Probably that second one.
carnivalsoration > You lead him in and direct him to lay down. You're very calm and reassuring.
> And then you try to place your camera on a ledge so it peers down at Cronus, get in the tub on top of him to pin him down. You'll try to grab his wrists, place them above his head, grab them with one hand. And one of his horns too. You'll narrate your actions the whole time.
> Damn, indigos are strong when you're a rustblood, him actually resisting you is a bit like him resisting really fleshy iron.
vwarlordvwanderlust > You cooperate, maybe metaphorically dragging your heels a bit, but, oh, no you aren't, fuck this dude is strong.
> FUCK this would be hot if it wasn't for this.
> You're a little wiggly, but not like you're necessarily trying to get away (not that you could), more like you keep wanting to look around.
> It's a lot harder to keep your face casual without the reminder of eye contact, for some reason.
> It's just a couple of minutes, though! It's fine! You Have Never Been Calmer.
> (It'd be really funny if your light hyperventilating made you pass out before he did anything. Funny for some people, at least.)
carnivalsoration > Oh how fucking precious that is. He's so cute, and he doesn't even verbally object. Plausible deniability!
> You grin a little bit where he can't see. "Your three minutes starts now."
> You pull out a gallon jug of water from your dex and start pouring it over his nose and mouth. It looks so ridiculous for being as effective as it is, considering it quickly starts to feel like he's barely keeping his head above water.
"Cronus, did you make me a cookie?" You ask down sternly at him. Not loud, not aggressive per se, but definitely authoritarian.
vwarlordvwanderlust > Blblbr?!?
> Okay this is bad actually.
> You thrash a little, reflexively, but don't get far. You try to shake your head but, uh, can't.
"No--?"
> Boy the water sure just keeps happening. It's a good thing your body inherited reflexes to not breathe water, or this would have been over very fast, since you'd already be coughing it up onto the floor.
> This is a really bad thing but it's not for very long. It's fine!
> The nice thing about being tortured is you're too distracted to worry about keeping a straight face.
> The bad thing about being tortured is all the other stuff. :(
carnivalsoration > Oh, hey, he didn't immediately submit. That's fine. Patience is all you need. The water keeps up in a steady stream. "You did, didn't you. Don't lie to me, you did make me a cookie. Didn't you?!"
> A forceful tone of voice and persistence is all you need. Soon he'll be too disoriented to do much more than choke and agree with you.
vwarlordvwanderlust ==> Cronus: choke and agree with him.
> This was a terrible idea!
> (Wow, Cronus, if only there was any way of knowing that.)
> Your panicked failing gets a little more forceful, but not any more effective.
"Stop, yes--"
> You're dying, he's killing you, you're going to drown here and nobody will ever know what happened.
carnivalsoration "And just what happened to that cookie, Cronus?" You accuse. "Did you fucking eated it??" Oh messiahs bless, saying that with a straight face is so funny. So hard.
"Don't you dare fucking lie, did you Eated my Cookie?"
vwarlordvwanderlust > You already said yes! You really will definitely die at his hands. AaaaaaAAAAAAAAAA
"Yes, I did, stop,"
> Your lungs don't feel right, but you don't know if there's actually water in there or if you're just freaking the fuck out without haviing gills, so it feels different.
> Glub glub,
> When you get back in your right mind, you'll be mad. This is the dumbest thing imaginable
carnivalsoration > Okay, now to get to the aftercare portion so no one thinks you're evil or whatever.
> You stop pouring water, captchalogue the jug, and get out of the tub. Then you help him sit up, lean forward. "Alright, now. Cough. Get it all outta ya."
> ..... Grab your phone. Fuck you hope that recorded the right angle.
vwarlordvwanderlust > Water, water everywhere, the last thing you're ever going to feel is water-- no water.
> You're shivering, and coughing weird-- you don't know enough about this to know if it's normal for torture weird, though.
> When he gets you into a better position, you cough up a little more water than might be expected for someone else who this happened to. Probably you just tried to breathe a little more than most people.
> When you're a little less full of water, you   go for the blindfold, if he hasn't taken care of it already. Seeing is good.
carnivalsoration > Oh shit blindfold, better hide the phone! Captchaloguing is so convenient for slight of hand stuff.
> you help him with the blindfold, very helpfully, with no ulterior motives whatsoever, and then give him a little pat on the back.
"You did pretty well! Didn't beg, don't think you cried. Still definitely confessed though."
vwarlordvwanderlust > You're tearing up a little bit now, but it's probably just the coughing, because you don't feel anything about this. It's basically no big deal.
> You glare at him, looking about as threatening as a half drowned kitten.
"You tried to kill me!"
> You sound vaguely hysterical.
carnivalsoration "Nope, you weren't even close to death. If i had tried to kill you, i got a billion other different ways to do it and there'd be no try about it."
> Pat him a little more. Its okay dear Cronus, it's all okay.
vwarlordvwanderlust > Rub at your eyes with one hand and try to take deep breaths, the way you were taught to instruct a charge to do if they flipped out.
> If you actually thought it was an attempt on your life, you'd be running, for all the good it'd do you. You still think it got closer than he's saying, but.
"I'vwe gotta stop givwing myself chances to look like an idiot in front of you."
> You sound calmer, but not, you know. Calm.
carnivalsoration > You laugh a bit, waggle your brows. "I like idiots, if that helps." It probably won't. "Anyway, my respect for people ain't based on the sorta thing that you seem so down on yourself about, so you're basically in the clear on that front."
> Not on several other things, but what can ya do. If you're ringleader, try to be nice anyway.
vwarlordvwanderlust > 'You didn't look like an idiot, Cronus', would have been the correct response, but he tried.
> Hhhhhhh.
> You haul yourself shakily out of the tub.
"Thanks, babe. Good looking out. Excellent. Appreciate it."
> You look at your hands, remembering the ineffectual struggling, and shiver. But in like, a cool and nonchalant way, totally.
"Man. Rusties are, uh. Vweak, huh?"
> Not that you could necessarily beat twelve feet of clown in an arm wrestling match normally, but still.
carnivalsoration > Oh good, he actually got that little bit of empathy you tried to make happen. Yes, he is weak as a rusty, and that's how they feel all the time!
"Yeah. Bones are more fragile too. Pretty nuts, ain't it? I barely even felt you struggling."
> How much can you hammer things home before you make it obvious? .... Let's give it a try.
"Browns and yellows ain't much better, ya know. They kinda have to do whatever we want em to, one on one, unless they got real good psionic control." Which means Mituna can't easily say no to what you do, Fuckwit. .... If only you could say those words out loud. Can't seem too sympathetic, though, you're supposed to be a mean Alternian who is being nice to him for some reason.
> Plus or minus some waterboarding.
vwarlordvwanderlust "Haha, better to be on the other side of that one, I'vwe gotta say."
> Lowbloods are weak and it's funny. Not that you sound all that amused right this particular instant, but you'll be back to normal soon enough.
"Not an especially controvwersial opinion,  I knowv. Anyvways! That's good, I guess. Makes things easier to handle."
> Now you're into the fucking with your hair stage of emotional recovery, because it definitely got all messed up.
carnivalsoration > Hahaha yeah, better to be a coolblood, outnumbered a hundred to one. That's a good side to be on. Ha. Ha. Ha.
> You watch him fix his hair for several moments before you proceed to just. Fuck it up again. Ruffle ruffle ruffle.
"I won the bet. What do i get as a prize?"
vwarlordvwanderlust > Pout at him.
"C'mon, boss, vwhy you gotta be like that?"
> It's pretty fucking wild how this guy actually literally tortured you, admittedly at your request, but you're so willing to be his friend.
> You smile tentatively at the question, a far cry from your typical cocky smirk.
"I dunno, big guy. Vwhat do you vwant?"
> It COULD not be a come on, except that you kinda. Lick your lips and waggle your eyebrows. Just a little. A smidge. It's probably really casual.
carnivalsoration > You like teasing him, and you laugh when he pouts. "Ain't my fault you look cute with mussed hair."
> And then he licks his lips and waggles his brows in a way that reminds you of yourself, except that you like to go overboard with it like it's a joke so that people can brush it off without the whole thing being hella awkward.
> You chuckle a little more, tap his nose. "I'll save my spoils for another time, hmm? In the meantime, though."
> Bend over, pick him up by the ass, and just give him a big ol kiss on his lips.
vwarlordvwanderlust "Yeah, you really think it looks alright?"
> Preen. You're incredibly fucking vain, which is pretty obvious considering your everything about you, and you appreciate being called cute. Even if tough would be preferable.
> OH THIS IS A VERY GOOD THING!
> Kiss back with just a little more enthusiasm than technique, though it isn't like you're terrible. This is a good night. You should probably put your shirt back on eventually, but it's not a particularly high priority at the moment.
carnivalsoration > Oh, boi, you're always the teacher and the experienced one. Otherwise you might be annoyed to be in such a position yet again.
> .... Grope his ass, tho, check if its doin alright, and see how quick he is to learn how to make out good.
vwarlordvwanderlust > You relax into it before too long, less tongue aggression can only improve things.
> You're basically only alright.
> You nip at his lips with lowblood-dull teeth, and grin when he gropes you. You don't want to take your arms away from their position over his shoulders, or you'd return the favor.
> Nothing bad has ever happened to you and everything is great.
carnivalsoration > Oh, teeth always get a good reaction out of you, inexperienced or no. Son of a bitch, you didn't want him to actually have Power over you.
> .... Whatever.
> How long can you keep him entertained with just. A lot of making out.
vwarlordvwanderlust > :D
> Cronus Will Remember That.
> Who doesn't like teeth, though, really.
> Oh, so fucking long. For all that you claimed to be all about the orgasms earlier, you sure are happy to keep doing this!
carnivalsoration > You'll keep going for at least like five minutes. He's getting so into it, you half expect to feel something wiggling against your chest.
vwarlordvwanderlust > YOU'RE getting a little squirmy, but at least you're not an adolescent anymore, so nothing's happening downstairs. That he can feel, at least.
> ... This is really good but like. Maybe. You don't need both hands to hold yourself up.
> You try and reach for his crotch, but don't stop making out.
carnivalsoration > Your eyebrows actually raise at his bold move, and you pull away a couple so you can look at him. And look down at the reaching hand.
> Your bulge is Definitely not out.
"Lookin ta escalate, brother?"
vwarlordvwanderlust > You didn't think it would be, neither is yours, but this is how you get stuff to happen! You do it!
> You stare blankly at him.
"No, vwhy do you ask?"
> You may make some questionable "jokes" about lowbloods, but your deadpan delivery is pretty good.
carnivalsoration "Cuz I'm not!" You say, with a smile and a single fingergun.
> For quite a few reasons. One of which is that you're not really In The Mood. Another, you have to ask Saness for permission.
> But, most importantly, you want to hold that particular bit of encouragement for later.
vwarlordvwanderlust > ?????????????????????????
> You look a little crestfallen, but mostly baffled.
> Maybe being tortured and then crying about it and coughing up water at someone isn't overwhelmingly sexy.
> No, that's probably not it.
> You roll your eyes, but withdraw your hand, and prepare to go back to making out.
carnivalsoration > That's fine. You are gonna just make out a while and think ya thoughts.
> How long can he even go at this before he gets bored...
vwarlordvwanderlust > Not THAT long, as it turns out. A couple minutes later, you pull back.
"Okay but are you sure?"
carnivalsoration > Bitch.
"Would I say it if I wasn't sure?"
vwarlordvwanderlust "Maybe?"
> Your wide eyed innocent look isn't nearly as cute as you'd like to think, especially when it's about wanting to get in someone's pants.
"I'm just making sure, you knowv, people can change their minds, and that's okay if you ask me."
carnivalsoration "If I want to fuck you, you'll know. Because I will tell you, and then I will do it."
> Your voice isn't so friendly now.
vwarlordvwanderlust > Jeez, some people are so touchy. You'd raise your hands in surrender, but you're still a little worried that he'll drop you.
"Yeah, got it, good to knowv! It's good to be clear on stuff."
> ...Hm. Are makeouts even really the mood anymore? Why do actions have consequences???
carnivalsoration > You sigh, roll your eyes. "If you say no, what the fuck do you expect people to do? Ask you again, just to make sure?"
> Time to put the boi down. Things aren't that fun and he ruined it by being a shitheel.
vwarlordvwanderlust > :(
> This sucks.
> You pout, and the whine in your voice is definitely really cool and adult.
"I mean, I vwouldn't expect it, necessarily, but I vwouldn't make it a big deal..."
carnivalsoration > How fiercely do you have to glare to give him the full picture of the disdain you have for that whine and those words? You give it a shot for fucking sure. That is a hell of a nasty look.
"You think I'm makin a big deal out of it? I could be so much more overt with my anger and annoyance, motherfucker, I could make a real big deal outta it. My body is mine, my consent is mine, and I can do with it as little or as much as I mother fuckin please, do you understand me?"
> You step up on him with that last little bit, to loom over him. You are not pleased.
vwarlordvwanderlust > HhhhhhhHHHHHHH MAN IT'S NOT AS SEXY THAT HE'S BIG ANYMORE ACTUALLY.
> Wilt under the weight of that glare+loom combo, abruptly stepping back, hands up appeasingly.
"Hey hey, yeah, I get it."
> What's that last part you always forget? Oh, right.
"Sorry!"
> God this bastard is scary. You just want him to like you, this shouldn't be so hard!
carnivalsoration "What do you get? Tell me the lesson you learned. Don't just repeat after me, tell me why what you just said was fucked up."
> you are still looming.
vwarlordvwanderlust "You'd vwin,"
> Not probably a particularly promising start, but goddamn, this sure is the guy who tortured you VERY RECENTLY, huh.
"I get it, you can do vwhatevwer you vwant, I got it, that one vwas my bad."
> You may be the seadweller, but he's still more experienced than you, and four fucking feet taller. You stumble back another step, grinning nervously.
carnivalsoration > Ooh this motherfucker
"That ain't the POINT," you growl. "Try again. I got faith you can get this lesson. It ain't about me, it's about you."
vwarlordvwanderlust > It's not like he's pursuing you, and you feel like if you keep backing up you'll hit wall, which would really not help with the feeling safe thing, so you stop. Even though he growls, and it's fucking terrifying.
"I vwas annoying and pushy? And shouldn't be?"
> Your rising inflection makes it clear that you're definitely guessing, but at least it's an educated guess.
carnivalsoration "There's more to it than annoying." But you seem a little satisfied by that answer. "There's a lot fuckin more to it. You were pushy. People don't like bein round pushy people who don't respect their decisions. And that's the fuckin problem. You didn't respect my decision."
> How do you really drill this into him, you wonder...
vwarlordvwanderlust > Now you're a little defensive.
"I respected your decision! Look, I'm not doing anything nowv, am I?"
> Everyone always assumes the worst of you just because of all the things you do and say, and the person who you are.
carnivalsoration > Your expression gets tight and angry before you sit on the edge of the tub and put your head in your hands for half a second.
"Cronus Ampora," you say, softly. "Have you ever met someone who's been raped?"
vwarlordvwanderlust > What's. Your head snaps up to look at him, and you flush maroon, suddenly angry and upset, but still nervous. Off balance.
"I didn't-- I don't-- that doesn't havwe ANYTHING to do vwith this!"
carnivalsoration "Why not? Haven't you heard about all the people who said no, and then said yes reluctantly because they felt there would be consequences after. Or because they were pressured? And then they got fucked. When they didn't want to be. Someone's hands defiled their body and someone's bulge made them hate themselves. Have you never heard of that?"
> You look at him with deadly seriousness.
"So. Tell me. Have you ever met someone. Who has been sexually violated?"
vwarlordvwanderlust "... No. I mean, not. I don't think that's. That doesn't *happen* here."
> That kind of... crime? It's probably a crime sometimes. But it's not a Beforan thing.
> That's one of those big scary Alternian things.
> You've never heard of anything with a yes involved being called rape, though.
> You fuck with your hair more, no longer meeting his gaze.
carnivalsoration > You reach over, grab him, tug him towards you to make sure he looks you in the eyes.
"It happens everywhere. Everywhere anyone wants to have power over anyone else, or everywhere anyone feels they don't have to pay attention to the wants of anyone else."
> You look at him for two long moments of silence.
"If you ever want to meet a rape victim, keep doing what you did there. You'll make one. Violence doesn't have to be bloody or involve kicking and screaming to happen. Don't let it happen while you're not paying attention."
vwarlordvwanderlust "That's not..."
> You trail off kind of weakly.
"I vwouldn't make people do any-- I vwouldn't make people do that."
> You are, in fact, processing what he's saying, but it doesn't really sound like it, maybe.
"I'm not-- I'm a good guy!"
> The looming sensation of realizing the consequences of your past actions threatens to encroach on your feelings, but you beat that shit back with a stick. This was a rough enough night already, he doesnt need to basically call you a terrible person.
> Your voice is small and tentative when you speak next.
"Isn't it like. Important. For highbloods to, uh. Take things. If they vwant them, and they're tough and can havwe them?"
> You sound like you're trying to remember something from class, not like you're actually making an argument.
carnivalsoration > You watch him, watch expressions flit over his face as you let your words sink in. His question is an important one to figure out how to answer, you can't just say whatever comes to mind.
> It's a few moments before you respond.
"Taking things from others because you have the ability to doesn't change that it's stealing. Fucking someone because you can doesn't automatically make it consentual on their part. Conquest for someone is still torture for someone else. You can't be a good person and a victorious person at the same time, if you hurt someone to get there. People don't like someone and fear someone at the same time."
> You look at him seriously. You can't treat him like a kid, you can't treat him like a dick who doesn't matter. He's an adult who can make his own choices, and they are choices that will define him.
"You choose who you want to be. What you want to do with your power. Every choice you make opens some doors and closes others. You have more doors you can go through than lowbloods do, but but inevitably, you will define yourself by your actions. And you will define the opinions others have of you by them, and by what you do with the choices you have and the results that come of them."
> You hope he's getting the full power of your words. You definitely phrase them like they're important.
"You can take whatever you get your hands on. But shit like 'respect', like 'fondness', like bein liked, cannot be taken by force. It cannot just happen. You put effort into it, into the thoughts of feelings of others. Fear is easy to win. Disgust is easy to win. Easy to keep. Trust is what's hard to win, hard to keep. And, to me, hard things are generally worth earning."
vwarlordvwanderlust > He had you going for a second there. A while, even. You were listening with rapt attention, wide eyed, but.
> As persuasive as he is, as smart as he seems, there's an obvious hole in his argument, and he can't have missed it.
"People lovwe and fear the empress. Evweryone does. She vwants it all and she takes it, and she has it! I'm not trying to put myself on her levwel, but she's the trollish ideal."
> God, but you want to be liked.
"Do you... really believwe all this stuff?"
> You don't know what his motivations would be if he didn't, but.
carnivalsoration > You nod gravely at his question. "I speak the truth I've discovered through pain and trials, and I mean every word of it. Now, I want you to tell me something, and I want you to be thinkin real hard about yourself and about all those people you hang with."
> You raise a wry eyebrow. "Do you, personally, love the empress? Like you do, say, yourself. Or your lusus. Do you think all of your friends do? Go through em one by one, in your mind, see if you can find one that you think might not. You don't have to tell me, if you don't want to. But I want you to be true to yourself, at the very fuckin least."
> You'll let that sink in for a moment, while you watch him.
vwarlordvwanderlust > You think about Mituna, broken and shoved into a padded cage by her policies, and grimace. . Other examples filter up through your mind more gradually, but his is the most salient.
"Vwell... evweryone respects--"
> You think about the fact that he was even broken in the first place because he was protesting her policies, biting the jeweled hand that fed him. He got what was coming to him, though...
> Your mouth settles into a stubborn line
"...Evweryone SHOULD respect the empress, if they're decent. Right?"
> Making such a tentative, heavily conditional statement at all in an argument, let alone then asking for confirmation, should probably be a sign that you're not really feeling it.
carnivalsoration "What is the difference, I wonder, between respect of somethin dangerous, like not playin with fire, and respect of someone's opinions because you value their input and believe they would value yours."
> He's so stubborn and so panwashed by all that propaganda, but he's slowly coming to important realizations that will shape him. And you're proud of him for it, it's sure not an easy thing to do.
"Decency is subjective. You gotta ask yourself what you think is decent. Gotta come to the conclusion, yourself, what you value in a person. Convictions are personal. I want to know what yours are, when you think about what you value most in a person."
vwarlordvwanderlust "You don't need to believwe someone vwould vwalue your input to respect their opinions. Eridan doesn't givwe a shit about anything I say, but he's a good kid and he knowvs lots of stuff."
> Mmm. You feel weird about all this. It's another elaborate test, and you've failed every single one he's given you before it.
"Vwhy do you vwant to knowv?"
carnivalsoration "Oh, but tell me if that makes you less likely to have meaningful conversations with him. Like the one we're having right now."
> Feeling weird is a normal part of this process. It sucks though. You don't like it either.
> You give him a wry smile at his next little question.
"Because I want to respect you, for your own sake."
vwarlordvwanderlust "Sure, I guess."
> Not that that proves anything.
> Hm. You look at him, really look at him, trying to gauge his sincerity.
> You continue to suck at that. Fortunately, you just assume he's sincere.
"I guess... Loyalty. Passion. Honor. Ambition, and uh, success too. It doesn't matter if you don't succeed, haha. Bravwery. The usual?"
> You don't sound especially certain, but then, it's not a question you've had cause to think about much. Not explicitly, at least.
carnivalsoration "I don't wanna hear about the usual. The expected answers. Those are buzzwords, words everyone likes and likes to think about themself. I want to hear somethin that could be individual to you. You ain't everyone. You're you. You got your own shit to bring to the table and I wanna hear what Cronus Ampora, specifically, values."
vwarlordvwanderlust "I don't..."
> This is a Big Question. Him first.
"Vwhat vwould you say, someone asked you that?"
> You have literally no clue. Maybe his answer will be inspiring.
carnivalsoration "I value people who have conviction but are open to change. I value people who respect thoughts different than their own, and can learn from things they don't experience. I like people who will hear me talk about my gods and not dismiss everythin I say. I like people who are thoughtful about their enemies as well as their friends. I like people who get angry. And I like people who can control their anger. I respect people who have knowledge but don't assume they know everything. I respect people who have been through shit but still know not to apply what they know universally, without context. I like people who are different from me."
vwarlordvwanderlust > Well, at the very least, you sure get angry.
"Vwowv, that's. A lot."
> You jam your hands in your pockets and look to the side.
"I dunno. I just. Like people vwho like me."
> That's the dumbest and truest thing you've ever said.
carnivalsoration > Welp, that didn't Quite work.
"What makes you dislike people?"
vwarlordvwanderlust "I guess I don't like it vwhen people..."
> 'Are mean to me'. Shit. You need a different one.
> Kick at the ground. This is so complicated.
"It's obnoxious vwhen people don't care about anything at all. There's so much *stuff*, and some people can't be bothered to pay attention to any of it. This is vworse than the torture, because it's making me face howv boring I am. "
> (Just kidding, you won't actually face that for a good while yet.)
carnivalsoration > You hum, consider him. "You're not boring. Not really. You're just... Not finished. You're like an artist and your canvas. And you've got all your outlines set up, but there ain't any color yet."
> Better continue on before he gets offended, delicate little shit. "Still, that's important, that thing you just said. You don't like people who don't care. So it follows that you're drawn to people who do care. Does it matter, to you, what they care about?"
vwarlordvwanderlust > Rude.
> But yeah, it turns out dicking around on a guitar all night and fantasizing about killing aliens doesn't actually lead to much growth as a person.
"Yeah, passion, like I said."
> You think for a second.
"I guess... I mean, it's best if they care about shit that's interesting. I mean, I don't vwanna hear some nerd go on about model trains for hours. But I think caring about something enough to dedicate yourself to it is cool."
> You're kind of opening up again, even though this isn't exactly something you're used to talking about. You don't feel like you're on the edge of a wrong answer, though.
"Art, especially, though. Art is so..."
> Useful? Important? Nah. You fold back into yourself a little.
"It's neat, at least. I guess being interested in something practical is better."
carnivalsoration > You like that, like that he can see the value in giving a shit about things he doesn't care a lick about. Your expression has been steadily softening, and now you smile a little at his words. He's doing great. Keep going, Cronus.
> And then he says something a bit down again, a bit Alternian Standard, and you have to reach back for what he was so close to expressing. Something genuine about Himself.
"No, tell me more about art, brother. I wanna hear your thoughts. What excites you about art, about music?"
vwarlordvwanderlust > You laugh a little.
"You're biased because you're a clowvn, but yeah, sure."
> You fall back into the subject with little encouragement, seemingly forgetting that this is the Big Scary Alternian Mentor Guy.
"Art is... Good art, to clarify, because there's a lot of shit out there. But art is beautiful evwen vwhen it's ugly, because art is honest evwen vwhen it's fake. All art tells a truth about the artist, y'knowv?"
carnivalsoration "I do know. I like that about art, I like knowin about people through what they do and how they do it."
> You don't mind the clown stereotyping. Just this once. It's true enough anyway.
"And what do you think your art says about you?"
vwarlordvwanderlust "Vwell, if you havwe to ask, it must not havwe been saying vwery vwell!"
> You take that in good humor, though.
"I guess my public stuff, the newv music, is mostly about me being cool and tough and a loyal citizen. But subject isn't the same as message... It probably mostly says howv self centered I am."
> Candor!
> You do talk a lot about yourself in your songs.
carnivalsoration > You laugh a bit as well. "Well, the message I get and the message you intend can be two separate things. Art is individual even to the observers of it. But I think that comes across pretty well."
> You think it comes across that he's lonely and desperate.
"What about your private stuff, then? The stuff where you are the artist and the intended audience?"
vwarlordvwanderlust "Vwell, I mean, that stuff's privwate."
> So's your vent blog, but this guy has that too.
> You stare off into the middle distance, because it makes you look cool and deep.
"I guess it mostly just says that I'm sensitivwe. Major character flawv, but sometimes the babes lovwe it, so it's a mixed bag. It's all about heartbreak and abandonment or vwhatevwer."
carnivalsoration > Oh fuck. Oh fuck it's so hard to not laugh at him sometimes.
> You keep back the chuckles and feel glad that he's staring off into the distance like a nerd.
"So you feel abandoned? Misunderstood?"
vwarlordvwanderlust "Sure, yeah. I mean, it's not like people stick around."
> For Some Reason.
"Nobody really gets me, and nobody really cares to try. I guess you do, and San."
carnivalsoration > .... And That's about all the focus you're willing to have with this conversation.
"Well, me and saness are gonna do our best. So. Ya know. Try not to make it too hard on us."
vwarlordvwanderlust "I'll do my best."
> Grin, setting aside your Dramatic Melancholy for later.
"I like you guys, you're great. Vweird, but hey, vwho isn't?"
carnivalsoration "Who knows. No one I wanna chill with."
> A few seconds of looking at him.
"Hey I got shit to do and I can't really do it in this busted up hive."
vwarlordvwanderlust "No, yeah, I vwas just about to ask if you vwere ready to dip."
> It's time for lots of introspection, followed by promptly discarding all the conclusions you come to that feel bad.
> This was. Something. Lots of things.
"Do you havwe your owvn vway back? San did."
carnivalsoration > You're not sure he actually was. You're just a little tired of dealing with a wiggler.
"Yeah," you motion to a bracer very similar to hers. "I'm pretty good on transport. Catch ya later?"
vwarlordvwanderlust "Seeya around, boss."
> Fingerguns and wink. God you're charming. Time to go.
carnivalsoration > You disappear! Bye bitch.
