Heya! I've recently found your writing and I've got to say I love your writing style sm <33! Also I'd like to request some headcanons about Ominous and Sebastian (separate please) about cuddling for the first time with the reader, if you are ok with it of course, also I'm planning on sending more requests in the future so can I be known as crow anon? Anyways have a good day or night :D and don't forget to stay hydrated!
Hi crow anon! I love this request, i was planning on writing something like this anyways!! đ€đ€
(Art not mine!) (p.s look at ominis he's snoozing đâ€ïž)
Summary - cuddling for the first time with Sebastian and ominis! All fluff <3
He's not necessarily nervous when asking you to cuddle for the first time
Naturally, he's flirty so he kinda just asks you honestly.
"Can you come here?" *yoink*
Obviously he will ask if you're ok with anything, but he just loves being able to hold onto you in any way
Somehow the most aggressive cuddler ever though đ
"Get over here!!!" *pulls you aggressively to his side* (in a loving way)
Like for real man calm down I'm not going anywhere đ
After you sit/lay with him he calms down quite a bit though
Immediately melts in your arms and becomes a baby
He loves to hold you, but more importantly, you hold him
It brings him so much comfort
Your body heat and the smell of your perfume/cologne is enough to send him to sleep
And he totally does by the way
He's out like a light within the first 5 minutes
The most adorably stupid sleeper ever
He's not cute or elegant by any means- sebastian will be snoring and drooling while he's sprawled out on top of you
Sorry bae, you're not leaving any time soon
And if you do have to go for any reason he's whining like a baby and begging you to come back to the comfort of his arms
He is the cutest thing ever in the stupidest way- he's such a dork đ
Unlike sebastian, he's very nervous to ask you for cuddles
He's laying on the couch in the undercroft and Says "can... Can I hold you? I mean- can we.. Cuddle?"
He feels you sit down and immediately grabs on to you
He wraps his arms around your waist and puts his face in your neck, inhaling your scent
Slowly pulls you down with him
HE'S SO CUTE
You're laying on top of his chest and you can hear his heartbeat going wild
He'll whisper in your ear how much he love you and he'll run his fingers through your hair
Like sebastian, he's out
Immediately he's fallen asleep
Unlike sebastian, he's a very elegant sleeper
He looks majestic honestly
He's breathing softly, eyes closed and mouth slightly parted
He always wants to hold you, but occasionally you can be the big spoon
It makes him feel safe
He's so in love with you, he always wants physical contact so cuddling is the best option đâ€ïž
A/n - THIS IS THE CUTEST THING I HAVE EVER WRITTEN OMGGGGG I AM SO IN LOVE WITH THEM
ty for the request crow anon!! Excited to see more!!! (P.s maybe you can tag the end of your requests with '-đŠ ' or a bird emoji :D only if u want ofc!)
Hogwarts Legacy Headcanon - Scent
Canât believe I havenât done something like this sooner
* First and foremost, smoke. The smell of fire and electricity from his wand and his fiery spells.
* An undertone of cheap cologne when he remembers to wear it, along with aftershave and toothpaste if youâre very close.
* Sweat. Crossed wands and keeping you out of trouble takes a toll, but the way his hair sticks to his forehead in a flush makes you swoon.
* Clean. Clean laundry and soap. He takes very good care of himself and always makes sure heâs âpresentable.â
* Subtle florals. Like lavender and violets.
* If you get close to his neck, you can smell the chemical scent of his pomade that he does his hair with.
* Fresh cut grass. Always being outside, rolling around chasing Nifflers or diving to catch a falling baby Jobberknoll.
* Fur. A bit of animal musk, also due to her hobbies.
* If you somehow catch her right after a shower, she smells like flowers and lemons, Her hair fluffy and light as she pulls you along to get muddy again.
* Shampoo. That mop of hair holds scent for hours, and if he walks in front of you in the hallways, itâs all you can do not to lean forward and drink it in.
* His common room. The smell of warm blankets and incense, a fire thatâs been going for decades.
* To his dismay, probably the scent of a bad potion that he just canât seem to get out of his robes. Itâs been two weeks, and the House elves are livid.
Older lads- Early 30s ish.
Version w/ only Seb and Ominis under the cut;
Y/N: I'd die for you, Sebastian.
Sebastian: I'd kill for you, Y/N.
Ominis: Both of you need to calm the fuck down.
caleb feels like the original "do i wanna know?" by arctic monkeys
zayne feels like the hozier cover of the same song
like.. yall get me?
Could I request a list of only Ominisâ headcannons??? Please?
YES YOU CAN I LOVE HIM
Ominis Gaunt Headcanons!
The sweetest most gentle soul ever
Even if he has his wand, he always appreciates you "guiding" him around
Grab his hand in the halls and gently pull him around
He knows where he's going, he just wants your touch all the time
Sleepy boy!
Cuddle him, hold his hand, sit with him in class and he's immediately falling asleep
Sleeping next to you makes him feel safe
He's very romantic! Brings you flowers, chocolates, jewelry, new robes, etc
(It's not like he doesn't have the money LOL)
Sugar daddy basically (but not in a gross way)
You go to hogsmeade together and the first thing he asks is if you want anything
He has such a sweet tooth!! Buy him stuff from honeydukes and he'll love you for the rest of your life
Or if you're a Hufflepuff, sneak him food from the kitchens!
Pda isn't really his thing, but hand holding or a gentle hand on his shoulder will have him blushing to his ears
Like in class, you gently put your hand on his to help him with something
He has a charm that will turn his pages to braile, but sometimes he still struggles because he can't exactly *see* what he's doing
Especially in potions, that's his worst class because he can't see what color his potion is
But you help him with his studies!
His favorite thing is your voice.
Read to him please! Read him books and novels from the library
Sit in the undercroft with his head in your lap and quietly read him any book of his choice
Or you can do other things in the undercroft!
Like spell practice! Tell him how you perfected a recent spell, like accio
Use accio on him, or his tie
PULL HIM IN FOR A KISS THAT WAY???
shocks him at first but you tell him what you're doing and ask if it's ok beforehand
Afterwards he literally flushes from his neck to his ears and down to his d
Anyways he thinks it's really hot
He's so sweet with you and gets really worried when you come back to the castle hurt after a mission or assignment
(Or if you go out in general)
always concerned for your safety because he's so worried about the dark magic he knows you deal with
Hearing sebastian cast crucio on you was one of the worst things he ever had to listen to
Tries so hard not to cry because he knows the pain that you had to go through
Runs over and holds you afterwards, gives you wiggenweld
Immediately after you get out of the scriptorium he's holding you and ranting about how he hates dark magic and saying how much he hates hearing you in pain
You talk him through it and hold him in your arms in the undercroft
He just a 10/10 boyfriend, Ominis loves you so much and is the most kind-hearted and loving man you'll ever meet
A/n- I love him so much RAHHHH

'DATE: 25, NOVEMBER, 2021
LOCATION: BERLIN, GERMANY
TIME OF EVENT: 0230
MISSION REPORT: PENDINGâŠ.'
You donât remember much from the day that could be called out of the ordinary. Ever since youâd been moved here with the other girls, everything was predictable down to the time the men would come over, to the point where the screams had to be muffled by pillows.Â
Never in your life did you think youâd be part of the nearly fifty million people stuck in this situation, and neither did you think youâd be the one in one hundred who got out. But before you can think about November twenty-fifth and those pale gray eyes, you have to go back to the beginning. To Al-Qatala.Â
You hadnât been with this cell initiallyâyouâd been moved around and bartered off more times than you could count; the initial founder of your predicament was long gone at this point. North and South America, Europe, Africa, Asia, and OceaniaâŠyouâd been practically everywhere and on every continent barring the obvious last. In Europe, you couldnât name the countries, but you knew this for a fact: youâd never been to Germany before.Â
They had you with five other women in a large SUV in the beginning, this international ring of human traffickers. You had watched from the window, face blank and eyes unblinking, at the men who met near the docks. They had brought you in through Hamburg, firstânot only the largest seaport in Germany but the third largest in Europe; you think you read that on a flier at some point. One of those flimsy ones that you find in gas stations with bright lettering to attract the tourists with their interesting facts.Â
You wished you were only a tourist.Â
Youâd watched the men shake hands, and that was when you knew your fate, as well as that of the five other women, was sealed. You were going to all be here for a long time.Â
This Al-Qatala cell was ruthless, but you supposed with being around terrorists, ruthlessness was better than being executed.Â
For days youâd be exploited with the false promises of moments of freedom, breaks, food, and water. For some of the women it was drugs or money, but when your stomach was empty and your eyes blurring from lack of sleep, even addictions seemed to pale for brief hours. But above it all was the threat of death at every corner. These men would kill you.Â
It was only a matter of time unless you could give them what they wanted.Â
You yourself had developed a system, and it was probably the only reason you were still alive. Pick one of the handlers, gain his favor, and pray that he treats you specially while you keep up the act of a mindless, weak, woman.Â
Ivon was the manâs name this time around. Born and raised here in Berlin before the clutches of his fanatical ideations brought him to Al-Qatala. You hated him.
Hated his touchâhated his scent and how he talked; every bit of him was corrupted like a black dog at a crossroads, always leading people down the wrong path. Your only saving grace was that he was stupid. The other girls called you Catâsaid you managed to nuzzle up to someone and soon after got them to give you what you wanted. Everything you wanted except freedom, that was.
You didnât deny that Ivon did give you privileges, but that was the point. About a week into your stay in Berlin, he allowed you to go into public with him. Arm-candy.
A doll.Â
The townhouse youâd been stuck in had disappeared into a spec behind the rearview mirror, the chilled air from outside making you shiver at the lack of heat and the thin shawl youâd been thrown. No jacket.Â
The care of your health only extended to how well you were able to workâat the moment you were relatively healthy despite the bulge of bruises and constantly shell-shocked look behind your eyes.
But the tripâthe trip. You supposed that was when it had fully started, and you didnât even realize it before you saw those gray eyes again.Â
âCome,â Ivon orders, holding tightly to your arm and dragging you along from the corner shop without making a scene. Your hands loosely brush the wrack of clothes, fabric soft under your fingertips as it sways.Â
Fixing your shawl, you try to burrow your neck into it, gaining what little heat is available to you. It was cold outâyou were shivering. People send looks, eyes tight as they shift up and down your form, but no one ever says anything. To be this bold, this cell had to have been at this for a long, long time. The realization didnât make you feel any better.Â
That was when you first saw him.Â
You were standing outside a coffee shop, quivering like a newly hatched butterfly, Ivon making a call only a few feet away with fast motions of his arms. It was hard not to make a run for it right then and there; hard not to take those few seconds of open air and dash awayâstart screaming and yelling until the authorities came.Â
It would save yourself, but what about the others? They wouldnât be so fortunate, youâd be sentencing them to death. None of this was simpleâit needed to be thought out. Two games of chess being played at the same time.
The irony of it was that König had been off-duty that day. It had been a shot in the dark.Â
âAre you alright?â A thick Austrian accent makes you flinch as it appears beside your right ear, grating.
Your eyes snap to the side, moving one foot back as you blink wildly up at the blue-gray orbs that would become a staple. You liked to call it as everyone else didâthe invisible string theory. A theory that stated that the universe connected people who were destined to meet one day. Through thick or thin waters, it was inevitable. He was inevitable.Â
âYes,â you say quickly, holding your hands tightly around you. The man ahead of you was tall, almost startlingly so, with muscles more bulky than a boulder and his buzz-cut head open to the chilled breeze. He wore a surgical mask over his lower visage, his hoodie under the thick material of a canvas jacket. âYes,â you say again, hearing Ivonâs voice behind you still on the phone. âIâm fine, thank you.â
Gray eyes furrow slightly, gaze darting over your head.Â
âAre youâŠsure, Maâam?âÂ
âThank you for your concern,â you fake laugh, eyes pained, backing up farther. That invisible string snaps into place, pulling tight at only those few simple words.Â
His stature made you slightly nervousâlarge, intimidating; those hands could do quite the damage if given the chance. Your eyes had hit and bounced off the identity discs at his chest with little thought, too preoccupied to notice the fact that he was in the Service.
Königâs eyes had narrowed softly, dark brows minutely moving in.
Ivon hangs up his phone.Â
âCan I help you?â He asks, coming up and sliding a hand around your waist. The man had stared at him for a long minute, and you had felt Ivon tense slowly at the unblinking eye contact.Â
This stranger had commented in German a long string of frim words, hands going to his jacket and grabbing at the armsâhe slips out of it while still uttering.Â
Before you can react, the large coat swallows you whole and you snatch at the heat thatâs still inside instinctually, now only realizing how much you were shivering. Your body sags into the weight of the fabric, the scent of sweat and coffee.Â
You donât even pay attention to the growing tones, shocked. People look over to the two fast words being tossed.
Yet it could only last so long.Â
Ivonâs hand latches onto the side of your arm, beginning to drag you back and away from this kind stranger like a lap dog while throwing curses behind him. Gray eyes meet yours as old shoes skid and stumble.Â
König had taken a firm step towards you that day, his body tense and his hands clenched at his sideâready to do anything on a moment's notice should you ask for it. But all you do is stare, jaw loose, and the given coat still on your shoulders. You just couldnât understand why he would do that.Â
The stranger gets swallowed by the crowd, and just like that, heâs gone.Â
That was all it had been; a momentâa few mere seconds in the large plot that was this almost impossible tale. You were glad it had been him, or else the events of the future could have been very different.Â
Of course, they hadnât let you keep the jacket, but the memory was enough to warm you for days even as old pains faded and new ones took their place.Â
But those gray eyes would help you in the future, like a guardian; a protector in your dreams as you watched the snow fall from the sliver of outside light in your room with the others. Your mattress was on the floor like the rest, thin blankets and clouds of cold breath wafting up from sleeping forms.Â
This was the time it happened, and youâd just woken up to find the curtains shifting as one of the women near it moved in her sleep. Shadows slip past, the light interrupted as it shifts over your tired face with broken fractures.Â
You were always kept on the ground floor.Â
'CLEARANCE: APPROVEDÂ
TRANSLATING MISSION REPORT âRED FREEDOMââŠ
STAND BYâŠ
Operation Red Freedom took place on November twenty-fifth, 2021, at approximately 0230 in the neighborhood of [REDACTED], at the residence of [REDACTED], Berlin, Germany. A squad of ten highly trained [REDACTED] personnel covertly entered the residence in two teams of five. Fireteam One advanced from the back entrance while Fireteam Two entered the residence from the balcony at the top floor, accessed via ladder.
Squad Leader [REDACTED], part of Fireteam One, set foot in the residence of [REDACTED] at approximately 0238 and began sweeping the ground floor as Fireteam Two cleared three of twelve known individuals belonging to the terrorist organization, Al-Qatala, on the top floorâŠ.'
You shift and shiver, your body trying to warm itself as the world blurs at the sides of your vision. Fingers twitch as your hand goes to wrap your waist, curled into the fetal position, creaking emanates from above you. Blinking softly, you frown and take a quivering breath, head nuzzling the thin mattress.Â
âCold,â you say, the following low exhale of air out of your lips only making it all worse as everything seems to drop another degree. The darkness didnât help either, only that one line of light trying desperately to fill the room like a bucket descending into a dry well.Â
Youâre only clothed in the dirty and tattered remains of a large shirt, your legs feeling like they donât hold any blood in them as they quiver without your knowledgeâshaking the blanket above you. A few of the girls had said it would be okay to share, but everyone was afraid of the lock on the door clicking open and the men coming back in and seeing them. In the end, you could only look after yourself.
A thump makes you startle, drooping eyes snapping back open as you gasp.Â
Head shifting, you blink rapidly upward to the ceiling, confused as to whether that had been a part of a failing mind or if youâd really just heard a muffled bump upstairs. Brows furrowing, you lightly sit up, hands still around yourself and legs limply outward; spine hunched.Â
Your fingers had lost feeling, just as your nose had gone numb, but moving helped a little. Your hands dig into your flesh and your ears twitch at every creak in the woodâevery pass of silent feet that suddenly becomes all the clearer as the sheen of fatigue slowly leaves your brain.Â
Walking? Small pains move along your body like needles, poking and prodding, but you ignore them as easily as you do the vile hands that had touched you. Survival had forced you into a constant state of self-preservationâpain couldnât bother you, because if you stopped, you wouldnât get back going again.Â
Your head tilts so you can side-eye the door to the room, sleeping forms all around shifting, singular groaning of tired lungs. But thereâs something inside of you that stiffens like a prey animal, and you donât know why. Inside of your sockets, your eyes hone in, bones stiff and your chest stilling as the grain becomes the most interesting thing to you beyond breathing.Â
There was someoneâŠ.out there.Â
Watching, the sides of your vision shadow over to focus harder, your muscles tight. Your mind goes to the thumps from upstairs, the moving feet that sounded far more careful and deliberate than the ones your jailors took care to walk with.Â
Inside your ribs, your heart patters a bit faster, adrenal glands sending a certain flight or flight through the few veins you hold that arenât chilled over.
Something was happening. Something wasnât right.
Only when you move to shake the shoulder of one of the women sleeping beside you does it happen.Â
A yell.Â
A scream.Â
The girls in the room all startle awake, sounds of concern and shock entering the air that you mirror; faces snapping to the ceiling and the door. The townhouse erupts into gunfire and the sound of slamming woodâa warzone that only is separated from all of you by the thin material of the four walls.
You feel yourself being grabbed and held in fear in the dark, as your open face holds the expression of a rabbit in an open field, looking along the long, hidden grass.Â
The sounds persist, loud German shouts going up over the house and echoing with heated fever. This continues for minutes, added in with the sound of doors breaking off hinges, bouncing off the ground, and shaking the foundation so hard that you can feel it reverberate. The women go silent. Stone-still.Â
But the gunfireâso much gunfire. The constant pop of assault weapons and a pound of multiple booted feet.Â
What was going on? You can't make sense of it, so you only freeze and listen; trying to understand the longer the fight goes on, heart hammering; mouth slack-jawed. And then itâs like it never happened.
Silence.Â
You share quick looks with the others, all gripping one another and heads angled to the door. The heavy feet start back up again, coming closer. Your mind slashes to the window across the room, but itâs hard to think beyond the sudden body that shakes the door that leads directly to you allâthe women scream, some standing up and racing to the glass with the same idea as you.Â
'âŠSquad Leader [REDACTED], and both Fireteams successfully eliminated all targets inside of the [REDACTED] residence, leaving the room occupied by known hostages last to prevent casualties and/or the usage of bargaining chips. Squad Leader [REDACTED] made contact with hostages at approximately 0244 after the final sweep of the townhouse had been completed and all personnel accounted for.
Local authorities had been contacted by neighbors due to noise but were dismissed.'Â
The door busts off its hinges and the room devolves into panicked yells and hurled bits of mattress material. Loud pleas and curses stuck like gums to teeth as they were forced out in fear and bone-crushing terror. You remember pushing back into the wall, many others doing the same, as a beast of a man enters the room with his face covered with a loose fabric hood of some sort.Â
Largeâbrutish. Like a demon walking with the color of black printed over his entire body; gear hangs from a combat vest, hands holding an assault rifle as a sidearm is strapped to his bulging thigh. Forearms the side of your head stays near his chest, and in order to not hit his head on the doorframe, the individual has to bend slightly. Over that hood, the lenses and head-gear of a night-vision rig sit heavily before itâs moved back with a firm hand that is nearly double the size of yours.
A monster.
Your entire being is tight with quivering tension, eyes blinking away tears at the smell of blood that rolls in from the hallway. The women at the window duck down, hands to their heads as if expecting a bullet to carve its way between their skulls.Â
âCat,â one of the ladies behind you mutters, voice quivering. You shush her on bitten lips and move her farther behind you.Â
âDonât speak,â you mutter. âDonât move.â
You donât know what you expect, but nothing about this is correct.Â
The man raises his hands, the rifle slapping his chest as it hangs from a strap. He speaks in German, and the heavy and fast noise of it makes your already addled head spin. No one answers beyond the slide of their own feet over the hardwood floors.
âIch heiĂe König,â his head swivels from one to another, âSprichst du Deutsch? Irgendjemand?â
You stare blankly, panting.Â
After a moment, and a slow step forward from the stranger, he speaks again, though this time, itâs in English.Â
âMy name is König.â His voice is familiar to you, and you blink in confusion quickly, hidden near the back of the shaking bodies. âI am with the German Military, yes? We have conducted a raid on this residence.âÂ
Military? Raid?Â
â...I am not here to hurt you.â He nears one of the women, beginning to bend down slowly. She squeaks, balking backâmaking him tense and halt. It didn't matter what he said, König was the epitome of a man who was intimidating on body alone; the gear wasnât helping. Neither was the hood.Â
A soldier appears in the doorway, calling out to him in his native language as you flinch at the noise.Â
König calls back calmly, trying to keep an air of gentle strength around him.
The second soldier comes inside, dressed similarly despite the lack of fabric over his visage which instantly puts many at ease again. He clears his throat as König steps back, gargantuan hands coming up to rest at his vest collar as his legs shift. He seems a bit put off at the fearful stares from everyone, rolling his shoulders for a moment as he turns his head to look out of the doorway.Â
Your eyes donât move from him, though. A nagging feeling in the back of your skull.Â
âWe have to leave this place,â the second soldier tells you all, kneeling and resting a hand over his knee. âWeâll get you medical attention. Food. Water. Thereâs no need to suffer here any longer, hm? We can see to it that all of you will get the best care that can be provided.â A pause. âWe can get you back home.âÂ
That certainly got the attention that was needed.Â
Meek questions started falling out, then louder ones before pandemonium was roused in that tiny room pushed to the very back of the townhouse. Home. It was a word that had almost lost all meaning but was still that constant shining light in the back of everyoneâs mind.Â
Home.
Did you even have one of those left?Â
As the rest of your fellows all got to their feet, taking you with them, you had to think over that fact as the soldier guided them gently out of the room to join the others waitingâtrying to answer their questions and get them away from the gore before they saw it.Â
You stayed behind, feet shifting over the floor and your lips thin. As the silence settles in, you hold yourself a bit tighter and glance at the mattress all mashed together and stainedâthose thin blankets as you shiver.Â
âAre you alright?â Your head snaps over.Â
Youâd forgotten about König.
He still stands there, still and with his hands at his collar; he clears his throat softly, speaking up from his low utterance. âPleaseâŠdo not be afraid.â
âIâm not afraid,â you say tinily, your voice cracking in the lie.Â
You canât see his eyesânot with the shadow from his hood or his head rig, but you can see the way his skull lightly tilts to the side, trying to see you better in the low light.Â
âThat is good,â he answers, not convinced. âIâm glad. I did not wish to scare anyone.â He moves back and motions with a hand to the door from where they hang. âPlease. It is best not to linger, yes?â Â
âDo IâŠâ you hesitate, shivering. âDo I know you from somewhere?âÂ
Königâs face isnât visible, but you can still sense the feeling of confusion leaking out of him. The man takes a small step closer, and you gaze up at him until his eyes are visible.Â
Blue-gray.Â
You stare, mouth parting in shock.
König blinks twice, quickly making a noise in the back of his throat at the sight of your eyes gazing into hisâthe same woman outside of the coffee shop from days ago.
That little invisible string pulls you closer, small millimeter by small millimeter.Â
âYou?â You both say it at the same time, laced with surprise and shock.Â
Itâs a long moment of gazing into each other, a battered body and another more strong than an ox. All fear of the man dissipates.Â
âYou gave me your jacket,â you whisper, still torn up about it.Â
Königâs hood shifts as he glances back to the door, German speech over the radio strapped to his chest which he takes in and processes in the back of his skull. But he always looks back at you, eyes crinkled with concern and perhaps even a bit of misplaced guilt.Â
A protective knife sides into his side.
âCome.â The man reaches out a hand, hovering it over your arm. You stare at the gloved limb for a moment before softly moving towards it with your breath caught in your throat, hesitant. Königâs fingers delicately slide over the flesh, not closing around it until he feels your muscles loosen. â...Letâs get you warmer, Schatz, yes?âÂ
You blink.
âItâs cold here,â you mutter, letting him guide you along, his gray orbs always keeping you in the side of his vision.Â
âYes,â he agrees, nodding. âVery cold. Have you been to Germany during the winter before?â
Your head slightly shakes, bare feet padding along next to the pair of great bootsâyou lean closer unconsciously to the promise of warmth. König guides you away from the seeping blood on the floor and protects your eyes from the view of the bodies across the room with his own as a guard dog would.Â
âNo.â He notices your leaning and brings you nearer to him, letting you use him as a brace. The man knows the effects of shock, and you wear it as plainly as any other. âIâve never been here before.âÂ
König hums and his free hand goes up to press into the radio, muttering in his native tongue. He releases the connection and asks as he blinks at you, âDo you require any immediate medical attention?âÂ
Again, you shake your head.Â
âWhere are the others?â You sink further into him, being guided to the front door, open to the soft snowfall and a chilled wind as your shoulder hunch.Â
âJust outside,â König glances at the bodies across the roomâthe ones heâd riddled with bullets that still twitch even as the minutes draw longer. Gray eyes going from one to another, the house is heavy with the weight of dead men. Twelve in total and all getting colder just like the temperature outside. König didnât feel bad about it, and when heâd finally busted open that door to find you and the women, he was satisfied with the blood on his hands. If hell were to be his home, he would walk there with a golden-fanged smile.Â
But now wasnât the time for that.Â
âI will bring you to them,â the soldier speaks, snow blowing in from the entrance. âSlowly, now, Schatz, watch the steps. Allow me to help.â
You stop at the doorway, bringing a hand to your mouth to cover a haggard cough as König makes his way down the first concrete step ahead of youâlarge armored vehicles had pulled up from a ways away. The women huddle around one another, the rest of the soldiers sticking by them and opening the doors to the vehicles as the night gets only more cold and stormy. Â
Gray eyes flicker for a moment down to your lack of proper protection, fingers twitching and tapping at his thigh as König remembers your expression the day heâd first met you.Â
âDo you want me to carry you?â He says slowly, cautious in his approach. The man wasnât stupidâhe wouldnât touch you unless you explicitly stated it was alright for him to do so. âI will be gentle, I promise. I do not wish for your feet to freeze, I...â He pauses as you blink, staring into his soul. âIâŠwill not touch you if you do not tell me to do it. You have my word.âÂ
You continue to stand there for a moment, face unreadable before your head slowly turns to the vehicles in the street.Â
The neighborhood was so normal it still caused you to wonder how no one had spoken up and seen something. Rows of connected houses now with their lights onâfaces peeking from the windows like little children on Christmas morning; trying to get glimpses of Santa and the manâs reindeer.Â
Finally, your gaze moves back to the hooded visage of König, able to see it better under the moonlight and the glare of falling snowflakesâa few of those frozen pieces sitting in the folds of the fabric.
âThe hood scared them,â you utter about the others. König stiffens a bit, blinking at you but not looking away. âTheyâre used to people trying to hide their faces, but yoursâŠwith how large you areâŠâ
âI understand.â König doesn't tear away his eyes. â...Did I scare you, Schatz?â
You donât know why, but for what seems like the first time in years, the question makes you giggle. The beast of a man goes still with his feet on the ground, usually jittery and moving body captivated by the sound as it echoes over the nightâs airâthe puff of your breath as it moves around his hood; rustling it like leaves on a tree.Â
Eyes widening only a sliver more, Königâs breath is in his throat.
It was like listening to a birdâs song.
âMaybe only a little,â you whisper to him. âBut itâs okay. Iâm scared of most things.âÂ
He licks his lips, but youâre unable to see the slight quirk of them afterward.Â
âThen I will make it up to you, yes?â He holds out a hand. âLet me? The car is warm and your friends are waiting for you. My men say they ask about your health.â
You softly nod, the shadow of the house trying to drag you back into itâits blackened arms reaching and latching onto old scars. When your hand connects with König's, the man takes his time putting one foot back to a step and scooping you up from behind your knees. With a tiny grunt, you settle at his chest, calming your heartbeat with the fact that you know he wonât hurt you.Â
âIâve got you,â he says.Â
In his arms, your bare legs hang in the air, hand wrapping his neck, and with a slightly nervous look to you as your body hovers. König watches for a moment, hesitating before he begins walking to the same vehicle the other woman had been moved into out of the snowfall.Â
âCan you tell me your name,â he asks to distract you from his hold, to get you more comfortable with him as his boots crunch through the packed powder on the groundâmaking sure to watch his step so as to not jostle you.Â
âEveryone calls me Cat.â Gray eyes blink your way, visible skin painted black. Königâs head tilts. You canât help but find it endearing.
âKatze?â He hums, and you can imagine his lips moving slightly upwards from the innocent tone of his voice as if taken by the strange moniker. âThat isâŠinteresting.âÂ
You huff tinily, shivering again as your body moves to curl a little more.Â
The soldier quickly reassures you. âNearly there.âÂ
The vehicle is in front of you, and a nearby man opens the door for König as he carries you over. Nodding in thanks, the large individual eases you into one of the seats as the blast of warm air makes you sagâthe other woman in there mulls closer, grabbing onto you and laughing through tears.Â
Looking back at them, you smile and feel yourself get a bit teary-eyed as everything starts to slowly come into focus.Â
Glancing outward, you stare at the snow that hits the dark hood of König, sticking and hanging off until the tiny white dots melt from the heat of his body. With his legs shifting he moves back a step and nods to you, eyes moving to stare at the ground for a moment.Â
âWe will take you to base. From there you will all be given dorms and fresh apparel toââ
âThank you, König,â you interrupted him. He stares, lips parted with the half-tones of cut-off speech. âAnd please extend my thanks to your men as well.âÂ
â...Of course, Katze.â König stands straighter, always twitching fingers moving to the car door as engines start with a grinding roar. He nods again, the loose fabric swaying as the lenses of his rig stay firm at the movement. âThere is no need to thank us. Relax. Sleep, if you wish to do it. The ride will be long.â The manâs gray eyes linger for a moment on your own, studying the bumps and small marks on your face. His hand tightens over the door as your gaze is stuck with his own; warmth blooming in his chest. He was glad he had found you.Â
König slips out a soft, âThere are blankets under the seats,â before he closes the door with a firm thump of metal.Â
You canât help but smile.Â
'âŠHostages were taken back to [REDACTED] and received minor medical attention on site. Housed in [REDACTED] and were admitted for needed treatments/medications - all details/names listed in File 3 Section 6 for future reference. DNA was placed into databases.Â
Next of kin were informed of their family membersâ position and/or state of being via phone call to the corresponding government official that then traveled through the appropriate channels once identified.'
You sit as a nurse hands you heating pads for your hands, which you take with a small thanks and clenched tightly, sucking every ounce of warmth from them to stop the shaking. Your body was heavy with the weight of new clothes and heated blankets, the room utterly normal in a way youâd not known for years. A corner table with books and a chess boardâa connected bathroom stocked with amenities you may need; even a rug on the tile floor. You donât know why that was shocking to you, but even the simplest thing was awe-inspiring. Your eyes had even slipped over a tiny nightlight near the door.Â
It nearly made you cry.Â
Your nurse moves back a bit, smiling down at you kindly.Â
âIs there anything else you might need, Dear?â Her accent is prominent, though not as much as Königâs had been. She waits for your answer diligently as the pitcher of water and a similar glass sit on your nightstand.Â
âNo,â you say, shaking your head. Your socked feet rub together like a grasshopper. âI think thatâs all.â Your eyelids blink. âButâŠâ you stop.
âWhat is it?â The lady asks gently, hands slack at her sides.
âThe manâKönig,â you pause. âIs he here?âÂ
Blinking at you, the nurse tilts her head to the side in curiosity. âNot currently, no. At least, not in this specific building. He and his men are being debriefed across base. They will be there for a long while.â At your blank look, her brows slightly move up in accommodating comfort. âWouldâŠyou like me to tell him something for you?âÂ
Playing with the heating pads in your hands, your face gains a slightly embarrassed sheen. You liked the thought of being near König, truthfully. No one had made you feel safe like he didâhim and his selfless action of a large coat given with no intention of getting anything in return.Â
âJust,â you breathe softly. âJust that Iâm sorry for losing his coat, and that I hope it wasnât expensive.â
The nurse stares, very much confused but not about to question you. Her feet shift over the floor, and a light nod is sent your way.Â
âOf course. Iâll tell him.â She motions to the bed with a hand and explains that whenever you wished to sleep, you were free to use the bedâand the TV was open to you as well, though you might not be able to understand the local stations. With that, she exited the room.Â
Left alone, your head moves around the room slowly, taking it all in once more as the small bandages under your clothes pull at your flesh. The tears start slipping down your cheeks with no warning.Â
Wrist coming up to your eyes, the limb presses in tightly, water staining the flesh as it dribbles down, and your lip quivers like a worm below it. You donât know why youâre crying now and not when König had gotten you out of that townhouse. Why now, when there wasnât anything prompting you to do so?Â
But something was prompting youâthe knowledge that you would never be going back to anyone who would mistreat you again. You had your own room. Good food. All the water that your stomach could drink down. A nightlight that pushes back the darkness even if youâre so used to living in it.Â
Through your soft sniffles, chuckles move out, filling the space with a warm echo. You pull the blankets closer to you and collapse backward onto the mattress, smiling widely at the ceiling.Â
That little invisible string dances as your heart pulls at it.Â
â
Königâs leg lightly jumps from under his table, signing off his name at the bottom of a report before he stands and rubs a hand over the top of his un-hooded head. He grabs the paper and slips it into a manila folder, hands pale with deep scars running the length of them like fissures in the earth. Deftly taking the item, he walks out of his office and begins moving down the length of the building, fingers tapping over the yellowish material with a small connection of flesh and thick envelope.Â
Tap-tap, tappity-tap.Â
His fingers were always fidgetingâmoving, tensing, twitching. It was one of the reasons they never let him become a recon sniper; the more obvious being the blatant size of his body. Both of which had been the cause of much teasing throughout his childhood.Â
But Königâs mind was on something other than the report in his hands, and it was starting to become a very strong distraction. You. The women. Al-Qatala.Â
He was angry he hadnât acted outside of that coffee shopâangry he hadn't noticed the signs right in front of him even if he had been powerless to stop it then. The soldierâs jaw clenched, the strong muscles of his jaw roving.Â
âVerdammt,â he hisses under his breath, glaring at the tile. âShould have done something.â
König gets to his commanding officerâs office and knocks, only staying long enough to hand him the folder with his finished report and leave once more. His mind wouldnât stay silent tonight. Thereâs no doubt that he wonât be able to sleep unless he reassures himself that you and the others are okay.Â
The manâs head shifts back to the email he had gotten from your assigned nurse, whom heâd taken it upon himself to know the name of when he carried you into the baseâs hospitalâEva.Â
â...She says she wants to apologize for losing your coatâŠâ
Königâs heart had twisted at thatâthat was what you were concerned about? He had to tell you that it was alright, or else he would never know peace. Perhaps even ask how youâve been treated so far, just to make sure that everything was comfortable for you.Â
The manâs eyelids move slightly downward in thought, a pull at his heart to walk outside. He passes a few other soldiers in the hallway, nodding to them with a tiny greeting but unwilling to stop and talk. In only fatigues, König exits the main doors quickly, lightly moving into a jog as his body shivers at the sudden chill touching his arms under the black compression shirt. Under him the snow has grown deeper, the large lights illuminating the almost greenish reflections of the winter landscape of open roads and large buildings.Â
Curfew was long pastâthis had to be quick.Â
Just a check-in, König tells himself as he nears the hospital, his breath puffing in the air. Then I can wipe my hands of it.Â
He slows as he nears the doors, huffing a breath as he pushes on the barrier, opening it with a squawk of hinges and metal. Entering, the front desk staff looked up at him in surprise, muttering his name in question.
âKatze?â He responds, pushing a hand over his head and feeling the melting snowflakes. His cheeks are a light shade of exposure-red, and inquisitive eyes shift over the two individuals slowly. âWhat room?â
The pair share a glance and tell him in the same breath. Room ten.Â
Itâs no sooner after that König finds himself there, hand hovering over the handle as the hallway clock ticks beside his right ear. His gray eyes blink at the door, feet shuffling from under him before he clears his throat under his breath, glancing away for a second in hesitation.Â
Was this appropriate?
König didnât have an answer, but the pull in his chest was tight and firmâhe just needed to see you. A glimpse, nothing more. He raises his fist and raps his knuckles over the wood delicately, three tiny knocks that hit his ears like bullets from a gun; the bullets heâs put into pathetic Al-Qatala bodies and watched burst like sacks of fluid.Â
He waits, hands going to grasp at his shirt collar, pushing out a low breath to calm himself.Â
After a long moment, his foot taps the floor, blinking. Again he knocksâa bit louder.Â
âShe is sleeping, you evolutionsbremse,â he utters, accent low and grating. âLeave her alone.â But even if you are, his nerves peek their head over the brimstone wall of his brain.Â
With his fingers caressing the handle, slowly moved to clutch it fully, swallowing the metal in his grip. König takes a deep breath into his lungs, letting it fill them up. Again, he tells himself, just a check-in.Â
He twists the doorknob and sets his forearm on the wood, pushing the barrier open.Â
König moves so that his body makes no noise, even with how large it is as he angles the side of his head through the opening. He finds a large mound of blankets atop the bedâstacked and layered so heavily that he has to blink in surprise at how you can breathe under them; because you were under them.Â
Gray eyes make out the small sliver of skin peaking out from the side of the bedâfingersâand the top of your forehead near the pillows formed around your skull. Unconsciously, a soft smile works its way over Königâs lips until he finds himself chuckling.
âNiedlich,â he mutters, scars over his face shifting as he speaks.Â
Sighing lowly, König pulls back his head, beginning to close the door once more.
âKönigâŠ?â Your tiny voice makes him halt like he had in the townhouse.Â
Eyes wide and lips parted at being caught, the door remains open, only a sliver visible to your vision as your furrowed brows are stuck at the barrier. A red sheen moves across the soldierâs face in a slow sweep of embarrassment that goes bone deep.
With a lick of his lips, König re-opens the door slightly.
âI did not mean to wake you, Katze.â He finds your eyes and nods to you. âI apologize. Go back to sleepâyou must be tired.âÂ
 âWait,â you utter, moving your head fully out from under the blankets. König pauses, eyes staring as his other hand comes up to itch at the back of his neck.Â
âWhat is it,â the man asks, opening the door fully and moving inside. âDo you need anything?âÂ
The question had hit you in your thin slumber, interrupted only partially by the opening of your door to the familiar pull of gray eyes and a strong build. A buzz-cut head. You take a slow breath to wake yourself up more, watching him from your bed. â...Did you know that I would be in that house?â
König tilts his head at the question, sighing slightly and glancing at the clock inside of the room on your nightstand. He frowns.Â
âNo,â he explains gently, coming closer. âNo, I did not. I do not get told such thingsâonly where to shoot and where not to.â The man tries a small smile, kneeling on one leg down by the bed and staring into your sleepy eyes. âBut I am glad I found you again, yes? You had me worried.â
âYou were worried?â You canât quite grasp it.
âJa,â he nods. âYour eyesâthey have stuck with me, Schatz, you understand?âÂ
Your eyebrows pull up your face, blinking in shock.Â
â...Yours, too,â you confess. Königâs heart flutters, listening until your lips have fallen still. âTheyâre very nice, König.â
He goes sheepish, lips flicking up into a smile and his eyes daring away for a moment. âYou can thank my mother for them, then.â He chuckles. âI have stolen the family's eyes, I was told.â
You chuckle with him, hand coming to rub at your cheek. A silence falls between the two of you.
âI donât sleep well,â you tell him in the relative darkness, light from the hallway and your night light illuminating the dips and bone structure of his face. âI was awake when you opened the door.âÂ
He nods after a moment. âJa.â A pause. âI donât eitherâŠNightmares?âÂ
You watch him before nodding tinily.Â
âAh,â he mutters. âThey are not pleasant, Iâm sorry that they have been plaguing you. Do youâŠâ König wonders if he should leaveâthis was far more than he had anticipated. âDo you wish for me to stay?âÂ
 Why had he said that?
The string between the two of you tightens evermore, gaining another thread just as it would for the years to come until it became as unbreakable as steel.
âI donât want to be a nuisance,â you begin but are quickly interrupted with a shake of a square head and a huff of a sharp nose.
âYou are not. Do not call yourself such.â His accent deepens with emotion, eyes narrowing as the dark brows on his face pull in. âIf you want me to stay, I will stay. Wake you if you become shaky, yes? Keep the bad dreams at bay.â
âBut what about you?â Your voice moves around the room as König stands and goes to the table in the back, shifting one of the chairs so that itâs angled your way. You shift so you can watch him sit back, grunting as his legs move out in front of him, opening so he can be more comfortable. He needed a bigger chair, but he wasnât going to complain about it.Â
âIâm not tired, Schatz.â A lie. His muscles are heavy, and he longs for his bed in the barracks. He pushes out, âPlease, go back to sleep. Iâll watch over you.â
You stare for a long while, studying him and how he fidgets in his seat of choice. A small laugh meets the manâs ears as he crosses his arms over his chest. König pauses, blinking over in confusion. His lips move upwards slowly.Â
âWhat are you laughing at, then, hm?âÂ
âYou look like youâre about to break it,â you mutter, head nuzzling the pillow under you as fatigue claws its way under your skin.Â
König huffs, fingers twitching over the meat of his biceps as he slouches. He nods jokingly. âPerhaps,â he shrugs, the window behind him letting a slight tinge of cold air in from outside. âIt would not be the first, Iâm afraid, though it would be quite the embarrassment to do it in front of you, Katze.â He smirks. âBut Iâll say, hitting my head on door frames hurts more than letting my arsch kiss the ground.âÂ
You laugh under your heap, your body jerking to the movement of your lungs.Â
âI bet,â you say, fingers grasping one of your blankets and pulling it closer. âItâs a funny image.â
âYou can laugh all you want,â König jokes, eyes soft as they gaze at you. âIt does not bother me.âÂ
Your sweet sounds of amusement waft out from under the crack in the door, where a small group of curious nurses mull and listen with glances to one another. A doctor moves past the hallway where they stand, and all scatter on quick feet.Â

END OF MISSION REPORT âRED FREEDOMâ
RETURNING TO SELECTION MENUâŠ
STAND BYâŠ'
Itâs only after most of the other women leaveâsent home to awaiting families or loved onesâthat you know your time is coming to a close here in Berlin, Germany. While youâre excited to put this behind you, you canât help but feel a bitâŠlost.Â
Thereâs something that keeps you here, on this base, until youâre the last out of all of them, waiting. And then youâre given the green light to goâgo homeâand suddenly you have a backpack full of necessities and youâre closing the door to your room with the little nightlightâs plastic body pushing against your spine. Yet, you stand in the hallway for a long minute, fingers interlocked.Â
You take a long, deep, breath.Â
Over the weeks of recovery, König had been a constant companion when he wasnât needed. He had eased you back into a comfortable state, letting you somewhat lose the black-and-white view you had gained of the world. But there was only so much he could do, even if his soft eyes were still stuck in your dreamsâthe good ones, of course.Â
You needed to go home, and, today, the C-17 was whirring on the tarmac, waiting for you to be transported to a military base far from here where you would be processed and, ultimately, let go.Â
Let go. It was jarring to think about, all of that freedom. What would you do with it? Right now, you donât have the faintest clue. It was the best feeling you can remember having.
Smiling, you take one last look at the room behind you and walk on.Â
At the entrance, you say a heartfelt âthank youâ to the nurses and doctors in broken German, shaking their hands as Eva kisses your forehead and whispers how happy she is to have had you here for such little timeâyou know what she means and you chuckle with her at the double-edged sword.Â
König waits by the door, holding it open withâŠyou blink at the item in his hands as well as his sudden appearance. Canvas fabric. A coat.
The coat.Â
âI had to have it processed,â he says, smiling as you gape at him. âVery long process. It was found in the closet in the townhouse.âÂ
âThen why are you handing it to me,â you ask, tilting your head and walking closer.Â
âI gave it to you, did I not?â The man hums, head tilting as he motions with it again. âItâs a good coat, Katze. Winters get cold.â Gray eyes crinkle gently. âI would hate for you to shiver, wherever it is that you end up, yes?â
You shake your head, cheeks hot. But your hands donât hesitate to grasp the item, Königâs hold on it remains fast, though, and you blink at him as you both keep it gently clasped like itâs worth its weight in gold.Â
König stares at you, the door still kept open behind him. He opens and closes his mouth for a moment as you tilt your head.Â
âKeep it safe for me,â is what he ends with, but his expression tells you heâs not talking about the coat.Â
It makes your arms tingleâyour heart skips a beat.Â
âIâll be sure it never gets lost,â you smile warmly, eyes malleable as the make of their color glints. There is a connection to this man that transcends words, and it is tied to you just as heavily as it is to him; unexplainable, incomprehensible, non-describable.Â
Enigmatic.Â
Königâs reverential face is soft with care.Â
âGood,â he mutters, unable to look away. âVery good.â
Clearing his throat, his grays dart to the floor, shifting his feet to move backward. He pushes open the door wider for you, and you hold your backpack in one hand as you shift past him and slip into his coat.Â
It was exactly how you remembered it, and you sank into the fabric with a thankful sigh and a fluttering of your lashes. You shift the bag back over your shoulders, letting the straps fall into the bulk of the extra material.Â
The snow wasnât falling today, and the ground was shoveled of any white powder too. On the air, you can hear the whir of the C-17.Â
König comes up beside you, a hand hovering over the small of your back as he guides you along. For the most part, the walk to the tarmac is silent with the weight of the future. You had no phone. No socials. You didnât even know if you wanted any, to be honest. Your mind had convinced you that a good bout of soul-searching was exactly what you needed. And you had to do that alone.Â
Your lips are thin as your legs take you closer to the plane, Königâs scent stuck into the stitches of the coat and covered your senses.Â
At the ramp, he stops as your feet take you onto the metal. Closing your eyes for a moment, you turn and lock gazes with himâgray hiding away what other, more human, emotions to be found. It was a slate of carefully crafted acceptance, and your own followed soon after.Â
It had to be this. The string wouldnât break, no, but it had to be stretched to such a point to come back stronger.
âThankââ
âDonât,â he says, not blinking, looking up at you.Â
You smile. âWhat do you want me to say, then?âÂ
âYou donât have to say anything to me.â You hadn't known it then, but the both of you had truly thought that this would be the last of your meetings. It produced a pulse in both of your hearts that would never be told aloud. â....Live well,â König utters. âHeal, Mein Schatz.âÂ
The soldier wasn't one to give his chances to hope.Â
Your eyes follow as he backs up, moving away as you stare. In his head, König pleads with you to stop and give him a reprieve from the hypnosis of your gaze, the addictive movement of your head as it tilts to the side.Â
Live well.Â
You send him a smile, a delicate thing, and then you back up a step and turn, disappearing into the darkness.Â
The string follows, and it continues to do so even as your hands slip into your pockets hours later, bumping into the small form of a black flip phone. The note hidden inside of it.Â
 âFor whenever you find what youâre looking for.â

You sit in a coffee shop in Berlin, Germany, by the window. It wasnât just any coffee shop, but you try not to think about all of that. It was all in the pastâthree years, now. You like to think youâd learned something in that time.
âDanke schön,â you say to the woman who brings you your drink, nodding kindly. You take a small sip, humming and winking at her teasingly. âPerfekt.âÂ
She chuckles, wiping her hands on her apron. âMöchten Sie noch etwas anderes dazu?â
âNein, nein,â you shake your head, waving a hand that soft bumps the flip phone on the table. âDanke.âÂ
The lady walks away, and you take another sip of the hot beverage, never put off by the heat.Â
It was winter again, and your eyes followed the flakes as they fell from a cloudy sky, finding the beauty in it easily as you sat inside. The scarf around your neck is looseâyour gifted coat open. You smile to yourself and hum, watching people walk past outside, thinking about their lives and how they live them.Â
A large form travels out from a shop across the street, a plastic bag in his loose grip. He was not small, no, this man was a beast of height and strength alike. The loping, canid-like, walk was accented by the twitch of his fingers over his quarry.Â
Your wide eyes stay stuck to him for a long moment as he moves to the crosswalk, people shifting out of his way as he ignores them. Familiarity strikes like lightingâa buzz down your spine that leaves you straightening.
After a long moment, a breathless laugh sneaks out of you.
There were just some things that people were never meant to understand.
Your hand places your cup back on the table, picking up the old flip phone and pushing it open. Your thumb runs the keypad, moving to the only contact that had ever been entered into the device.Â
Pressing, you move it to your ear as you watch with a soft expression, heart pattering.Â
Across the way, the man tenses, hand patting his leg before the other hand moves inside his pocket and shifts the item out. People walk away, moving to the other side of the crosswalk as he stares at the contact.Â
A minute passes, and all the while you hold your breath.
He presses and moves the phone to his ear, staying as still as stone. As still as a man afraid his hood might scare a group of terrified women.Â
His voice graces your ear.
â...Katze?â You beam, trapped in the warmth of the coat around your shoulders.
âHow do you feel about coffee, König?âÂ
Blue-gray eyes had never been more beautiful than when they snapped up to meet yours.

"Who comes to a dick appointment without condoms?" Roy hisses, muscular arms crossed over his broad chest, the fabric of his tank top stretched so tightly that you're half-expecting it to start ripping in front of your eyes.
You push past Roy, stepping into his apartment and you look around at the state.
It's not untidy.... It's... Lived in. Disarranged throw pillows, a few crumpled papers tossed around the small trashcan that's located just beside the large, flat screen TV. There's a few scattered toys, a Barbie doll without it's shoe and it's....
Oddly reminding you of yourself whenever you do this.
"What kind of man doesn't have his own condoms?" You spit back, picking up the doll and dropping down on the sofa, grabbing the nearest thing with bristles, and combing through the long, blonde hair.
"The kind of man whoâ you can braid hair?" Roy questions, his brows knitting into a contemplative expression and you nod your head, as your manicured fingers card through the plastic strands, twisting hair over hair. A fishtail braid.
"Can you braid my kid's hair?"
The question is.... A surprise, more than anything, and your hands falter, before you look up at Roy, your eyes narrowing in suspicion. "Sure." You shrug, dismissing it before you set the doll on the coffee table before lifting yourself from the seat, before staring at Roy with narrowed eyes.
"Take your pants off."
"Shit, at least romance me.." Roy grumbles, mock-offense lacing his rugged features before he scoops you up, a muscular forearm bracketing your ass and a scarred finger hooks around your chain, tugging you closer into a kiss.
Roy's lips are the furthest thing from moisturized, a prominent crack down the centre of his bottom lip that occasionally catches on your own lip and you smile into the kiss, the ticklish feeling making you laugh into the kiss.
"Bitch, don't you own Vaseline?"
Roy smiles into the kiss, dimples in his cheeks deepening and his hand pushes open his bedroom door. "No," he hums, before tossing you on his bed, the springs creek just a bit as you bounce on the mattress, and his hands reach for the edge of his shirt, tugging it up his torso.
Very unceremoniously, might I add.
"But I've got lube." Grabbing an unlabelled bottle from the top of his dresser, and tossing it in your direction, ignoring the thud of the hard plastic hitting your forehead, as well as your cursing.
"This doesn't even have a label!" You hiss, one hand holding the bottle of lube and the other, rubbing your forehead with the heel of your palm.
"Gas station said it was lube." Roy shrugs his broad shoulders, before he crawls over the messy nest of sheets and bedding, grabbing your hips and tugging your basketball shorts from your hips.
Leaving you in yourâ
"Do you have to wear granny panties every time you come see me?" Roy groans, his leafy pools locked on the pale blue panties you're wearing. A white lace trim, and daisies dotted over the fabric that leaves far too much to the imagination.
"Do you have to be named Roy every time I see you?" You say his name like some kind of slur, a tone that isn't missed on him as he hooks his fingers into your panties.
"Oh, fuck off." He rolls his eyes, and you huff, lifting your hips just enough for him to pull the cotton down your ass. "I was named after my uncle."
"What was his name? Roy Rogers McFreely?" You snort, and you barely get to laugh at your own joke before you're roughly tossed onto your stomach, with your legs spread obscenely and a painful swat lands on your ass, before Roy's rough palm smooths over the stinging burn.
"Very funny." Roy huffs. "Now give me the lube."
"You're not using gas station lube on me." You deadpan, looking over your shoulder with a scowl. Your brows knitted and perfect lips tugged into a frown that just made him wanna kiss them.
Of course not now.
Roy's calloused fingers are occupied with a more interesting pair of lips that didn't call him a soulless ginger on missions, and his middle finger circles your clit in a way that makes your back arch just a bit sluttier.
"It's got an expiration date." Roy groans in frustration.
As though an expiration date makes it better.
You flip the bottle over in your hand, looking for the date.
"This says June." You state. "And what month are we in?" Roy hums, his fingers still circling your clit as he leans over you, inspecting the bottle with you.
"January." You deadpan. "Of three years after this bottle's expiration year."
"You know, I don't appreciate being spoken to like I'm some kind of idiot." Roy scowls at you, gingery brows knitted into a scowl, his pinkish upper lip curled in distaste at your tone.
"Well maybe next time, don't be an idâ" Your voice cracks and a shaky gasp leaves you when two fingers begin to fuck into your gooey cunt. And Roy hums, resting his chin on your shoulder and he tips his head to look at you.
A cocky grin on his face and it seems like all your energy goes into placing a hand on his face, and pushing him lightly.
"Nice try." Roy mocks. "I'm entirely sober. I'm basically Superman."
"If heâ... lacked a soul."
"Say I have a soul."
Roy has your knees forced apart by his muscular thighs, fingers fucking into your cunt while his free hand holds a wand vibrator to your throbbing clit. Your legs shake, puffy pussy glistening with his spit and your wetness, combined into a slick mess that trilled down your messy folds.
"IâI'm... 'm not a liar..." You whine, your hands fisting at the sheets, the edge of your T-shirt between your teeth, your cheeks flushed and messy with tears that had threatened to spill from one too many ruined orgasms.
Roy tuts you, moving away the vibrator away from you and pulling his fingers out of you roughly. And he takes the time, the corners of his mouth twitching, before pulling into a devious grin at the sight of your hole spasming around nothing.
And those glistening fingers make their way to your mouth, pressing down on your tongue and those eyes alone.
Perfect, pretty emerald eyes.
Fanned by pretty, Disney ass lashes, thick brows and the lightest flickers of blue in his eyes. And you suck on his fingers.
Savouring the taste of his fingertips that seem to constantly taste like the feathery end of an arrow, mixed with his spit and your cum, and you whine around his knuckles. You slobber. You whine, you cry.
Your toes curl when that vibrator meets your needy clit, tracing up and down your slick slit, and you barely notice that you're biting down on Roy's fingers when your head tips back. And you squirt.
Soaking Roy from his chest, to his boxers, and the sheets below you. Roy doesn't register your teeth digging into his fingers, only focusing on the messy cum that trickles down the creases of your ass and he hums, pulling his fingers out of your mouth.
And inspecting the teeth indentations.
"Good thing we've never sixty-nined." He mumbles, almost to himself, before his hand, soaked with your spit, slaps your pussy.
Your body rocks, your tummy dipping inward with each flinch of pleasure-pain, whimpers slipping past your kiss-swollen lips. All red from Roy sucking on them while ruining your orgasms and he leans forward, pressing a kiss against your temple.
A soft, gentle action that anchors you in this moment, but before you can say anything, anything at all, your thighs are in a long distance relationship and you're tasked with holding that vibrator to your throbbing clit while Roy pushes into you.
It's a sensation that's painfully familiar.
That almost burn that makes your toes curl and your back arch into the mattress to get away from him, and then, that slow, painful pulling out that has your hips lifting to take more of him.
And you glance down at where Roy slowly feeds your pussy. Inch by inch, as he carefully takes the vibrator from your hand, resting it where he thinks it needs to be.
And God, is he right.
Not directly on your clit, but shy of it, to the right and your lashes flutter, the back of your head resting against the headboard and Roy groans, his hips bumping against yours in the slowest, deepest rhythm.
For someone who makes you squirt with how rough he is, honestly, he doesn't even fuck.
Roy makes love.
90's, R&B, silk shirt and crying in the rain type of love. His hips don't stutter, don't falter, all that he's focused on is taking you to pound town on a safe journey and getting you home in time to feed your turtle.
"Don't close your legs, don't close your legs." He breathes out, switching off the vibrator and setting it aside, before angling his hips.
The blunt, rosy tip of his cock nudges against a spot that makes your kiss-swollen lips form the cutest 'o' shape, eyes nearly crossing and that's the spot.
And Roy begins to fuck.
Hard, messy thrusts that leave a creamy ring around the base of him, his palm coming to rest just above your mound and pressure begins to build like a fucking wildfire. And you babble, eyes welling up with tears as each stroke brings you closer to that precipice of pleasure that makes you believe that Roy might be God's favourite.
Because no fucking way ANYONE would have dick this good.
Unless maybe, Batman.
And Roy leans forward, a hand roughly grasping your chin, and he forces his thumb between your lips, watching the way your eyes glaze over when he presses down on your tongue. That mind-numbing sensation of his cock stilling and twitching against your gummy walls makes your brain fuzzy and all you do is stick your tongue out, catching the spit that leaves his stupidly perfect mouth.
And Roy smears his messy, wet hand across your face, before grabbing your chin again, fingers digging into your cheeks and he leans forward.
Pressing a sloppy, hard kiss to your lips, tasting your spit and cum on your lips and he groans, his hips pistoning in and out of you with no fucking warning.
The headboard hits against the wall, the sheets rustle and the loudest sound is the messy squelch of your sopping pussy as he fucks you into oblivion.
"You're so fucking perfect." Roy pants, kissing you like there's no fucking tomorrow and god, your blood is rushing in your ears and the sound is deafening.
Especially when you feel those skilled fingertips sinking to your hair, your walls fluttering and spasming as you gush, pushing his cock out of you and he places the most gentle kiss against your forehead.
You don't drink enough water to be able to push out liquids like this. But that's not your problem or even the mildest concern.
Not when your face is pushed into the pillow that smells like his musk and cologne, not to mention that tiniest hint of sweat. And definitely not when he's reaching over you, muscular and scarred hands gripping the headboard tightly, as he slowly slips into you.
Gushy walls swallowing him whole, and Roy's chest presses against your back, his face buried in the curve of your neck and he presses the sweetest kiss against your pulse.
Sucking marks into your skin, his hand coming to wrap around your throat just a bit, fingertips digging into the slight plush and his hips fucking roll.
Cock pummeling into you at that slow, passionate pace and Roy hums quietly. "You like it? I've been taking aâ hahâ a Spanish dance class with Jason."
And you let out a laugh, a breathy giggle and you whine as he nudges at your cervix.
"Nânot enough words to say how gay that is." You mock, your hands clawing and gripping at the sheets, your brain fuzzy and your tongue lolling just a bit.
And Roy laughs. A low, raspy chuckle.
"Oh, you're really gonna get it now." And he lifts, just a bit, his fingers curling into your scalp and tugging your hair back, enough to expose your throat.
"Now... 'm gonna fuck you 'til you piss yourself."
