To keep your joy in a locket

another self indulgent little piece because I firmly believe that Eddie would enjoy the magnus archives.

its quite short, very Eddie x Reader centered because Volt goes to bed (pretty boy needs time to just be off!)

gn! reader x eddie but it IS poly cus id never dream of separating my boys

After the reset, you insisted on helping Eddie with the maintenance still. You liked it! It gave you something to do and best of all when he gave you something you could do yourself it allowed you to listen to your favorite podcast while you worked. You'd begun your 7th, no 8th! relisten of the podcast, enjoying the horror stories and seeing what details you miss from each relisten.

What you'd forgotten was your affinity to make faces or comments while listening. Luckily most of the time you listened you were alone or around objects that knew about your little interest. Actually you'd explained the plot to Nightmare quite a few times and offered to start seeing her more if she was ever interested in listening.

To your surprise Lux actually seems to enjoy listening to your little rants about it, they try to play it off saying that the just like watching your light brighten when you talk about things you like ("I'm literally just an amazing friend! Duh!"), you hadn't told Eddie or Volt about it surprisingly, more or less distracted by all the things happening around the bar.

Tonight however, they'd closed early to patch something and Volt had gone to bed leaving just you and Eddie. it was one of those nights where his social battery was beyond dead and you weren't feeling much like talking as it was so you put one earbud in with one left out so you could hear Eddie give you any new direction.

You'd done your best staying quiet while listening and doing your work. Up until the podcast started talking about a trash bag full of teeth.

"Oh its the trash bag full of teeth!" You don't really bat an eye at what you said and honestly had completely forgotten that Eddie was even there until you hear him let out a concerned, "What the fuck just came out of your mouth?"

You look up at him for a minute and you can't say anything sputtering an 'UHm' while he sets down the tools.

"Its the podcast I'm listening to, its a bunch of horror stories and they found a bag of teeth in this one." You sound insane but he laughs.

Your heart could fly out of your chest when you hear him laugh like that honestly god please laugh like that again-

"I thought you were listening to music spark." He says after a minute picking back up the screwdriver. "You are so strange." there's fondness in his voice when he says it, you know he isn't being mean.

"Do you wanna listen with me?" You ask offering him the other earbud. "I think you'd like it." He's tentative, but takes it and places it in his ear while you start from the beginning. You didn't mind starting over for him. It was nice to share something you were so passionate about with him.

You'd finished up the maintenance that night and headed to your room so he could keep listening and not wake Volt who had been asleep for what seemed like hours now. You had been doodling between episodes and watched his realization that you were finally getting into the deeper bits of lore that the podcast had to offer. As far as he knew anyway, when you inevitably made him relisten to it with you he'd likely put together that the lore actually starts from episode one it just isn't in your face about it.

You stare intently at him, watching the way his jaw moves when he stifles laughter. Your pencil moves across the page without thinking and when he leaves, having watched you settle into your covers and yawn before claiming you weren't tired. He left your headphone case charging on your nightstand and flicked the bathroom light on so if you woke in the night you weren't in complete darkness. When he leaves he pretends not to notice the drawing you had made of him laughing, capturing the way his Adam's apple bobs when he laughs and somehow shading the flush of his cheeks and his smile. He's tempted to take it, but he leaves it where it is, closing the sketchbook and setting it on the nightstand with your headphones.

When he went upstairs he found his other partner sleeping soundly in their sheets. Eddie's so full of love he could burst as he slips beside him chuckling when even in sleep Volt seems to seek him out. He kisses the crown of his head running his fingers through the sparks of his hair. "Sorry I'm up so late." He whispers as he settles into bed, his back aches from working but he's happy.

Eddie can't help but think of the way your eyes brightened when he took the other headphone from you and agreed to listen to that podcast with you. The joy of finally getting you share something you loved with someone you loved. If he could bottle your joy and keep it forever Eddie honestly thought that he would.

I'm so normal about these boys and totally not about to go replay their route because I miss them

I am also so normal about the magnus archives and your homework is to go and listen to it NOW.

Okay thats all i love you goodnight. MWAH

[sleepymothafterhours]

been LOVING your eddie/volt/player stuff its become my bedtime stories you write them really well and its nice having pure fluff sometimes /pos

may i humbly request a "player realizes the breaker box boys early on and starts missing them BAD style still stuck at home finishing helping all the other objects and volt and eddie surprise them with a visit catch up and cuddle" ?? all yearning and sad then comfort <3

even if not thanks for your writing its so good ill eat up whatever you post i think

OH STOP I ADORE YOU

it probably doesn't help that I end a lot of my fics with them going to sleep (i'm soooo original I know). It also doesn't help that I go to bed right after I post one most of the time and end it with a goodnight kiss.

ANYWAY I hope you enjoyed, go to bed!! MWAH

Waiting drives you crazy

You couldn't say that you didn't know what was going to happen when you realized Eddie and Volt, though if you want to get technical you didn't really know what would happen. Franklin had been messaging you about it for days on end and when you asked Skylar about it she seemed more than happy to help you, she always was.

You promised to text when you had time and energy, helped them find a nice studio apartment they could afford while they got more used to being human. Beyond that all you could really do was wait, you figured they'd want space to themselves while they discovered the world beyond your closet. So you waited for one of the boys to message you first.

You went about your day to day as usual, talking with Daisuke about pottery, even going so far as to break out your old potters wheel from the garage (to your surprise she still works) and letting him teach you an easier technique to get clay to center. You visited Mateo and the inanimals, helping one get untangled from Connie's wires, talked about sports with Hoove (though you understood none of it, all you followed was "maroon guy go left = good!" Which worked until it didn’t)

Nothing you did filled that hole you felt in your chest. You ached for them bad.

Phoenicia had actually started putting you in “phone timeout” effectively locking you out of your own device when you kept hearing phantom buzzes and checking to see if either of them had sent you anything she didn’t like the look you got when they hadn’t. Or when no one had actually. Sam was busy with work, and you assumed tinfoil hat had run out of safe zones for a little while. So locked out again for the night you sighed and went to talk to Mac, where you wound up writing until you fell asleep at your desk.

“Mac am I going crazy?” You ask them one afternoon, and it certainly felt like it. They tilted their head at you giving you a confused look like they weren’t sure where the question had come from. They place the back of their hand gently on your forehead and shake their head.

“Yours not running a fever, are you not feeling well? We can go see Farya.” they suggest, you shake your head.

“No I’m not sick.” Sick with longing maybe but you weren’t physically ill. You get up from your desk and say bye to Mac you check your phone only to find that you’re still locked out of it. You groan.

“Come on Phoneicia.” You sigh trying your password again, but nothing works. You’re not sure if she changed it while you were sleeping or if she just wasn’t letting you in. “I’ll reset you.” You say but there’s no real fight in your voice.

You hear her gasp before she’s in front of you in seconds. “You wouldn’t dare.” She says arms crossed across her chest.

“Unlock my phone please.” You say she shakes her head.

There’s five straight minutes of back and fourth before she finally concedes. On the condition that she’ll lock it if you start doomscrolling again. So you don’t. You go out with the Hanks, you take a nap with Betty and then, you kind of lose your mind a little. You end up in Lucinda’s fantasy chamber and spend a good three hours ranting and yearning. She tries to help but after awhile she just lets the place be a safe space for you.

You wind up falling asleep in that spot and wake up on the floor of your bedroom, face pressed into the rug.

What you didn't know was that you weren't the only one yearning. On the other side of town Eddie was twisting a wrench under the sink of the recent place they'd bought and were fixing up. He hears Volt sigh on the other side of the room for the fifth time in ten minutes. When he looks over he watches him pick up another paint swatch hold it up to the wall and put it back down. When he picks up another he pauses and sighs again. Eddie stands up careful to avoid hitting his head on the counter. His arm slides around Volt's waist looking from him to the swatch that's captured his boyfriends attention.

"It's their favorite color." Volt says after a long silence, Eddie nods, there's nothing he can say. Volt sets the paint swatch down. "Color feels so..dull..now I don't understand it." He turns to face Eddie and Eddie's other arm circles his waist pulling him into him.

"Do you want to go see them?" Eddie asks, he pushes Volts hair back so it's out of his face and fights the urge to pull him closer.

"Can we?" Volt buries his face in the crook of Eddie's shoulder, their work forgotten, they looked odd from any outside perspective. "Can we go right now?" He asks pulling out of the hug but keeping hold of the other mans hand. In truth, Eddie and Volt had been missing you terribly since the realization. You’d set up weekly Skype calls but there were many times that the boys had to cancel because of extra maintenance on the diner, or issues with a new hire. Even with the calls, it was nothing akin to seeing you face to face.

Nothing like holding you, or having you between them. Or feeling your hands trace their skin, run through their hair. They missed falling asleep with you despite the lack of space on the bed they had in the loft above the breaker box. They had space now, something they’d done unconsciously when they moved into their new apartment. They’d bought a king sized mattress and fit it snug into the corner of the room. When they made the bed in the morning they left a spade sort of like a nest like you used to make when you got into their bed. It soothed the ache a little.

He comes out of his thoughts when Volts hand touches his face and he realizes that he hadn’t answered his question. He presses his cheek into his warm palm. “Let’s clean up yeah?” He says, “Then we can go.” Volt brightens and pulls away quickly gathering the pile of paint samples he’d collected. “I’ll go call 'em really quick.” Eddie says fondly. It Volt shakes his head with a clear idea forming in his head. Eddie gives him a questioning look before shaking his head and putting the keys in his pocket.

It's a bit of a drive to get out of the city and into your neighborhood. About halfway through at a light he looks over and sees Volt order something on his phone.

"What are you doing over there?" He asks.

Volt grins, "Ordering their favorite food." He says while he finishes up the order and Eddie makes a turn leading into your neighborhood.

They arrive in silence, an excitement buzzing between the two of them. The curtains inside sway at the sight of them Eddie knocks, Volt behind him fiddling with a bracelet on his right arm while he waited for the door to open. They hear a bit of bickering, you telling Front Dorian to open the door. It opens a crack and you peek out. You open it wider and your eyes brighten at the sight of them. You practically pounce at the first one you see which happens to be Volt who catches you with ease. When you pull your face out of his neck there are tears in your eyes and Eddie wastes no time wiping them when you finally step inside, Volt has yet to put you down as if unsure that you're real.

"Baby why're you crying?" Eddie asks cupping your cheek with both hands as Volt finally puts you down, Eddie pulls you into him.

"Missed you guys so much. Why didn't you tell me you were coming?" You wipe your face leading them upstairs.

"We wanted to surprise you Live wire," Volt pipes up.

The three of you settle on your bed and Volt sneaks back downstairs to grab the order he'd put in on the way and when he brings it up he swears your going to cry again. He shushes every protest, and you ate. They show you pictures of the work they'd been doing, trips they'd been taking, told you all the places they wanted to take you when you could leave your house again. Volt has more photos on his phone than Eddie did and you can't help but giggle at the ones he'd taken of Eddie while he wasn't looking.

They tell you about how they have space for you in their apartment if you wanted to move after you could leave the house again. It makes you smile.

Fed and happy and with the hole in your chest full for the first time in a few months you curl up against Eddie and pull Volt so he's effectively got you sandwiched between them the way they used to.

"Stay the night?" You ask.

"Where else would we go little wire." Eddie kisses the top of your head. Volt's arm snakes around your waist. You breathe out a sigh of relief.

"Call next time you miss us this much okay darling?" Volt pokes your side making you giggle and writhe away from him, there's only so far you can wiggle in between the two until Eddie pokes the other side of you as well.

"Eddie!" You shriek, he only holds you still while Volt pokes and prods at your side. "Volt stop it that tickles!" You try (and fail) to wriggle away.

He stops after a moment and you relax again.

"I've missed your laugh." Volt says softly.

"Missed you both so bad." You say turning your head to give him a quick kiss. you turn and do the same to Eddie before you go back to being still, the quiet stops feeling suffocating, you like this silence when it's them.

i love them so much guys

[sleepymothafterhours]

Hopefully there are two posts in the near future(tomorrow)

As long as the fog doesn’t eat me

[sleepymothafterhours]

Oh you are too kind, I’m so happy you liked it thank you so much

Also yeah hickies can be quite painful cus they are bruises, and if you partner has sharper teeth (I hc that the boys kinda have fangs) it can be easy to irritate them when they’re newer

Hello! May I start by saying I utterly adore your Volt and Eddie fics! I think my favorite so far has been either the biting one or the "Volt feels when reader statically shocks themselves" one.

I was wondering if I could make a request for another Volt and Eddie fic? Maybe with a reader who's a lot shorter than both of them (like ~5 ft tall compared to, what, they're close to 6ft?) Who offers to teach them some fighting techniques for fun.

Volt and Eddie agree, because why would they say no to you? Eddie remembers Dunk talking about how you've been getting back into some old sports routines. (Could be karate, boxing, mixed martial arts, etc, whatever fits)

You invite one of them to try and take you down to demonstrate (some place padded or with lots of cushions around) your skills and Volt steps forward to double check if you're sure-

And then he's blinking, on the ground, reader standing above him and, wow, what a way to learn about himself!

Eddie is also having revelations upon seeing you bring down Volt with ease in the blink of an eye.

Could lead to making out/smut. It could just be Volt and Eddie getting man handled by their short human. Whatever works for you! Hope you are having a nice day!

hiii, sorry this took so long the fog ate me again. might make a part two with the smut but I got scared of making this too long

If I haven't immediately responded to a request its not cus im ignoring it, the fog probably just took me, I love every single request you guys are so creative and I love you,

I only wish to keep you safe with my teeth in your muscle

Eddie already knew he had a thing for muscles. Had figured it out one of the many mornings when he woke up and found Volt standing in front of the mirror in their small apartment bathroom, a view clear from their bed, he could see the way his skin pulled as his arms stretched above his head. Muscles moving and quickly being hidden away as he watches Volt pull his shirt over his head. Eddie had to swallow to sound of protest that caught in his throat.

Volt had known that he liked being tossed around. He knew it in the same way he knew that he was electricity. There wasn't anything else to say about it.

They both adored you. And you in return looked at your boys like they hung the moon.

Eddie noticed first. You'd gained a little bit more muscle mass over the course of a couple of weeks. He wanted to bite it. He could hardly hide the way he watched the muscle in your forearm move as you brought your drink to your lips. Volt noticed one afternoon when the three of you had taken a nap together upstairs and you needed to get to the cabinet he stood in front of, in your sleep induced haze you'd not been thinking when your hands reached his hips and moved him just slightly to the left. You'd seen Eddie do it once, you think. Volt hadn't minded, but he did stare with his mouth slightly agape while he watched you open the cabinet and reach up to grab a mug. His shock at the ease you used to move him morphed quickly into a smirk after that. Sometimes he actually considered moving the things you used often to the higher shelf, but he wasn't entirely convinced you wouldn't just hop on the counter to get higher. He's seen you do it before and Eddie just about lost it when he looked over and saw you finding the best way to hop back off of the counter.

They both noticed when you hadn't come to the club for a couple of days, at first excusing your absence with the fact that you were busy, but after hearing from Cam, who'd heard from Dirk(who was a little bit too acquainted with your sweaty gym clothes for their liking)Dirk who heard something or other from Hank number 3 (who was also too acquainted), who heard from someone else, the list went down till it got to Mateo who mentioned you napping a lot more often after a long shower.

It wasn't like you hid it from everyone, on the contrary you seemed very proud of yourself and the changes it had been making, you slept better, ate better, you'd forgotten how good it felt. Betty mentioned how you seemed to actually get 10 hours of sleep every night, the at home gym was more than happy to finally be used. Your boys were happy to see you happy. What confused them was how you seemed so shy about it around them. Why you didn't bring it up when suddenly you could move both of your partners, who happened to tower over you, suddenly very easily.

They would wait.

And the waiting seemed to pay off, sandwiched between them on their bed in their loft above the bar, Volt's thumb rubbing circles into your hip, you had your arm tucked under your head while Eddie's hands messed with your hair occasionally kissing the marks now littering your neck. You shifted again feeling a small pang of pain in your bicep. You held your arm up and looked at Eddie with a dumbfounded expression.

"Did you bite my bicep?" You asked , attempting to sit up only to elicit a whine from Volt, who gave you that look that screamed 'If you move I'll die' you relented laying back down only getting a tired hum from Eddie.

"You didn't seem to notice, does it hurt?" His tone shifts fairly quickly from a playful joke to genuine concern not wanting to actually hurt you. You shake your head.

"like a hickey." You wait a beat, "I've been working out more." You say, Volt kisses the top of your head pulling you so you're tucked more into him.

"Hey. Share." Eddie grumbles.

It takes a couple weeks for you to be confident enough to invite them to see your progress. I mean it'd been years since you'd done anything along the lines, you think you quit when you were 15, your mom wanted you to, she said it wasn't lady like, and then your knee started giving you issues and you gave it up. You had other hobbies of course! Music, art, etc. But you really liked the endorphins that mixed martial arts gave you, I mean you'd done it since you were five for gods sake. Dunk gave you confidence, he was easier to take down, and you weren't used to winning against him this much but he gave you a good challenge nonetheless.

"You should show them! C'mon it could be fun!" He said during a water break on afternoon.

"Dunk I don't know, what if they're like, intimidated by it or think its gross?" You laid on the mat catching your breath when Cam chimed in, you'd honestly forgotten he could hear you, that's what you get for having a trash can in the room.

"Why the fuck would they think that." he sits against the wall waiting for you to throw the wrapper from your protein bar to him. "Wait are you serious?" He leans forward, arms resting on his knees. You nod eyebrows raised. "They think its fucking hot dude. I hear them whispering to each other after last call eyeing you like all they wanna do is jump your fucking bones." He rolls his eyes as if he wasn't the one who mentioned ripping your Fantastic red shirt off with his teeth.

You finish up for the day needing to shower before going to see your boys. Along with feeling good, you had gotten into the routine of actually getting ready before going to see them, bringing along an extra set of clothes in case Eddie had you doing maintenance(you used to bring a set of sleep clothes when you showed late at night but recently found how much the boys liked seeing you drowning in their clothes) You wore a simple enough button up, cuffed at the elbow and a pair of jeans, you still felt a little odd wearing shoes like you were actually going out instead of stepping into the closet.

You noted the way Volts gaze travelled down your body, catching on your forearm before he snapped out of his trance and went back into that graceful host persona. His arm around your waist while you walk in, he only releases you at the bar, helping you sit at one of the stools, his arm moves to your shoulder letting you lean on him, you lean your head back looking up at him. "Kiss me?" You say with a grin, he raises a brow at you.

"Is that how we ask?" his hand moves to trace your jaw. You consider pulling him down to your level and taking the kiss anyway but he seems to see that in your eyes and pulls back up.

"Won't you please kiss me? I've been here five whole minutes and haven't gotten a single one." You lean your weight more against him dramatically. "I'm dyin' " He chuckles at this and leans down close but not close enough. his lips ghost over your own. You lean up to kiss him but he pulls up again. "Uh-uh." He says, hand running through your hair as his lips finally meet your own. You reach around clasping your arms around his neck to pull him closer, you only need a slight tug for him to stumble further into your space. Static runs up your arm wherever his fingers trace up and back down. You chase him for a moment when he pulls back and he smiles and tucks your hair back into place.

"Still dying?" You'll never get sick of the way he makes you feel like the only person in the room, maybe even the world.

"Not too sure, kiss me again?" Your hand rests on his shoulder to keep him at your level. His face softens and you can see it pains him to leave your side. "I have to start the show live wire." He says. "But I'll find you after?" You nod biting your lower lip.

"I have something I wanna show you and Eddie tonight." His eyes brighten at your words and it seems like he wants to push further but he walks away to start the show. You look at Eddie who was polishing a glass, his eyes flicking between you and Volt as he did. He did this often on nights like this. Your chin rests on your hand as Eddie approaches.

"Do you have any maintenance that needs done after close?" You ask. He sets the glass down leaning in close and shakes his head. You grin. "Good. Meet me next door after the show? I need to get stuff ready." he nods kissing your forehead, the kiss is surprising, he isn't usually outwardly affectionate when the club is full. You catch Volt's eye and after a confused look you motion to the next room, he nods after a moment waving goodbye. You head back to the gym laying out a makeshift foam mat out of a few yoga mats and cushions. And then you wait, but the waiting fills you with a renewed energy even after you changed into a fit better suited for working out, you had stretched, worked on a puzzle, read a book, by the time they had finally closed the club you had found yourself on the wall using the workout puzzle you'd ordered a few weeks ago trying to get further than you had before, your back muscles tensed and untensed as you pushed the pegs up and to the left pulling your right hand up to push yourself further.

You don't hear them come in, but you feel the air change, become more charged, which tells you Volt had entered the room. You move a peg to start coming down but you want to show off a little so with some effort you manage to move your right arm back down and up to move to the other side of the wall. Your arms burn a little and after a second you let yourself come back down before you drop to the floor. You hit the makeshift mat with a grunt and take a moment to rest your hands on your knees and hunch over for a second. You hold up a hand, "Don't look at me," You say with a laugh standing up straight and facing your boys. The two move to pull you into them, Eddie looks at you with a hunger in his eyes that usually you have to work him up to see. You pull away stepping back onto one of the cushions.

You're grinning when you say, "I wanted to show off what I've been working on. Dunk's been helping me get back into martial arts." You pick up one of the weights off the floor setting it on one of the shelves, still a little nervous about how they would react. They nod taking a step closer to you, Volt's the first to break from the silence.

"Alright live wire, show us what you've got." He says.

You motion for him to tie up his hair (not particularly wanting to get electrocuted that night.) He looks back at Eddie asking if he happens to have a hair tie, Eddie rolls his eyes mumbling something before pulling one off his wrist and tossing it to Volt with a soft, "You know I do." Once his hair is tied Volt steps on to the mat and Eddie takes a seat nearby.

"Okay. Try taking me down." You look up at him and he stares down at you with a mix of shock and a bit of reluctance. Before he can protest you shush it, "I promise I will be fine. It's like all the other times." Except you'll be the one pinned to the floor. You smile at the thought.

Volt steps forward and you seem to circle each other for a moment before he makes a move, he's predictable with the way he moves toward you, practiced fluidity, and grace from flitting around the bar carrying five conversations at a time. God he made it look so easy. His hand found your hip to get you down and you took the advantage and managed to get him to the ground in seconds.

And holy fuck Volt really liked the feeling of you having him pinned to the floor. That was his first thought. His second is shock that you got him to the ground so quickly.

You smiled down at him clearly proud of yourself.

There's silence for a second. And then.

"Is that a banana in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?" You grin shifting your hips just enough to make him gasp.

"I'm always happy to see you Spark." Volt says before he leans up and tugs you down to kiss him. You groan into the kiss the change in angle making the bulge in his pants brush against the fabric of your gym shorts. You make out for a long few minutes, at least you think so. Only broken when Eddie pulls you off and into his arms, he holds out his spare hand to help Volt up. You shriek wiggling in his arms. "Eddie! I have to shower I'm all gross from working out." You say still attempting to get free. His hand swats your thigh lightly to get you to stop wiggling.

"If I'm not buried between your legs in the legs five minutes I am going to die. No." He kisses you then, biting you bottom lip, when he pulls away he moves toward your shoulder and bites down on the muscle there sucking a dark mark into the skin there. "Still want that shower?" He asks. You shake your head letting him carry you back into the club. You don't hear what Volt says but Eddies resounding No, makes you figure he might've mentioned fucking on the bar again.

"My light you can't even begin to comprehend what you do to me." Eddie says dropping you onto the bed, Volt sits at the edge looking at Eddie as if waiting for a command. He looks over at him, hands cupping his face. "Don't worry, I haven't forgotten about you. You'll get your fill in a moment. Just be good and sit here for me okay?" He only lets go when Volt nods and Eddie tilts his face to look at you on the bed.

You'd never forget the look in his eye when he crawled atop you. You were certain you'd dream about it for the rest of your life.

As always comments, reblogs, likes are appreciated but please please please don't cross post <3

They both noticed when you hadn't come to the club for a couple of days, at first excusing your absence with the fact that you were busy, but after hearing from Cam, who'd heard from Dirk(who was a little bit too acquainted with your sweaty gym clothes for their liking)Dirk who heard something or other from Hank number 3 (who was also too acquainted), who heard from someone else, the list went down till it got to Mateo who mentioned you napping a lot more often after a long shower.

It wasn't like you hid it from everyone, on the contrary you seemed very proud of yourself and the changes it had been making, you slept better, ate better, you'd forgotten how good it felt. Betty mentioned how you seemed to actually get 10 hours of sleep every night, the at home gym was more than happy to finally be used. Your boys were happy to see you happy. What confused them was how you seemed so shy about it around them. Why you didn't bring it up when suddenly you could move both of your partners, who happened to tower over you, suddenly very easily.

They would wait.

And the waiting seemed to pay off, sandwiched between them on their bed in their loft above the bar, Volt's thumb rubbing circles into your hip, you had your arm tucked under your head while Eddie's hands messed with your hair occasionally kissing the marks now littering your neck. You shifted again feeling a small pang of pain in your bicep. You held your arm up and looked at Eddie with a dumbfounded expression.

"Did you bite my bicep?" You asked , attempting to sit up only to elicit a whine from Volt, who gave you that look that screamed 'If you move I'll die' you relented laying back down only getting a tired hum from Eddie.

"You didn't seem to notice, does it hurt?" His tone shifts fairly quickly from a playful joke to genuine concern not wanting to actually hurt you. You shake your head.

"like a hickey." You wait a beat, "I've been working out more." You say, Volt kisses the top of your head pulling you so you're tucked more into him.

"Hey. Share." Eddie grumbles.

It takes a couple weeks for you to be confident enough to invite them to see your progress. I mean it'd been years since you'd done anything along the lines, you think you quit when you were 15, your mom wanted you to, she said it wasn't lady like, and then your knee started giving you issues and you gave it up. You had other hobbies of course! Music, art, etc. But you really liked the endorphins that mixed martial arts gave you, I mean you'd done it since you were five for gods sake. Dunk gave you confidence, he was easier to take down, and you weren't used to winning against him this much but he gave you a good challenge nonetheless.

"You should show them! C'mon it could be fun!" He said during a water break on afternoon.

"Dunk I don't know, what if they're like, intimidated by it or think its gross?" You laid on the mat catching your breath when Cam chimed in, you'd honestly forgotten he could hear you, that's what you get for having a trash can in the room.

"Why the fuck would they think that." he sits against the wall waiting for you to throw the wrapper from your protein bar to him. "Wait are you serious?" He leans forward, arms resting on his knees. You nod eyebrows raised. "They think its fucking hot dude. I hear them whispering to each other after last call eyeing you like all they wanna do is jump your fucking bones." He rolls his eyes as if he wasn't the one who mentioned ripping your Fantastic red shirt off with his teeth.

You finish up for the day needing to shower before going to see your boys. Along with feeling good, you had gotten into the routine of actually getting ready before going to see them, bringing along an extra set of clothes in case Eddie had you doing maintenance(you used to bring a set of sleep clothes when you showed late at night but recently found how much the boys liked seeing you drowning in their clothes) You wore a simple enough button up, cuffed at the elbow and a pair of jeans, you still felt a little odd wearing shoes like you were actually going out instead of stepping into the closet.

You noted the way Volts gaze travelled down your body, catching on your forearm before he snapped out of his trance and went back into that graceful host persona. His arm around your waist while you walk in, he only releases you at the bar, helping you sit at one of the stools, his arm moves to your shoulder letting you lean on him, you lean your head back looking up at him. "Kiss me?" You say with a grin, he raises a brow at you.

"Is that how we ask?" his hand moves to trace your jaw. You consider pulling him down to your level and taking the kiss anyway but he seems to see that in your eyes and pulls back up.

"Won't you please kiss me? I've been here five whole minutes and haven't gotten a single one." You lean your weight more against him dramatically. "I'm dyin' " He chuckles at this and leans down close but not close enough. his lips ghost over your own. You lean up to kiss him but he pulls up again. "Uh-uh." He says, hand running through your hair as his lips finally meet your own. You reach around clasping your arms around his neck to pull him closer, you only need a slight tug for him to stumble further into your space. Static runs up your arm wherever his fingers trace up and back down. You chase him for a moment when he pulls back and he smiles and tucks your hair back into place.

"Still dying?" You'll never get sick of the way he makes you feel like the only person in the room, maybe even the world.

"Not too sure, kiss me again?" Your hand rests on his shoulder to keep him at your level. His face softens and you can see it pains him to leave your side. "I have to start the show live wire." He says. "But I'll find you after?" You nod biting your lower lip.

"I have something I wanna show you and Eddie tonight." His eyes brighten at your words and it seems like he wants to push further but he walks away to start the show. You look at Eddie who was polishing a glass, his eyes flicking between you and Volt as he did. He did this often on nights like this. Your chin rests on your hand as Eddie approaches.

"Do you have any maintenance that needs done after close?" You ask. He sets the glass down leaning in close and shakes his head. You grin. "Good. Meet me next door after the show? I need to get stuff ready." he nods kissing your forehead, the kiss is surprising, he isn't usually outwardly affectionate when the club is full. You catch Volt's eye and after a confused look you motion to the next room, he nods after a moment waving goodbye. You head back to the gym laying out a makeshift foam mat out of a few yoga mats and cushions. And then you wait, but the waiting fills you with a renewed energy even after you changed into a fit better suited for working out, you had stretched, worked on a puzzle, read a book, by the time they had finally closed the club you had found yourself on the wall using the workout puzzle you'd ordered a few weeks ago trying to get further than you had before, your back muscles tensed and untensed as you pushed the pegs up and to the left pulling your right hand up to push yourself further.

You don't hear them come in, but you feel the air change, become more charged, which tells you Volt had entered the room. You move a peg to start coming down but you want to show off a little so with some effort you manage to move your right arm back down and up to move to the other side of the wall. Your arms burn a little and after a second you let yourself come back down before you drop to the floor. You hit the makeshift mat with a grunt and take a moment to rest your hands on your knees and hunch over for a second. You hold up a hand, "Don't look at me," You say with a laugh standing up straight and facing your boys. The two move to pull you into them, Eddie looks at you with a hunger in his eyes that usually you have to work him up to see. You pull away stepping back onto one of the cushions.

You're grinning when you say, "I wanted to show off what I've been working on. Dunk's been helping me get back into martial arts." You pick up one of the weights off the floor setting it on one of the shelves, still a little nervous about how they would react. They nod taking a step closer to you, Volt's the first to break from the silence.

"Alright live wire, show us what you've got." He says.

You motion for him to tie up his hair (not particularly wanting to get electrocuted that night.) He looks back at Eddie asking if he happens to have a hair tie, Eddie rolls his eyes mumbling something before pulling one off his wrist and tossing it to Volt with a soft, "You know I do." Once his hair is tied Volt steps on to the mat and Eddie takes a seat nearby.

"Okay. Try taking me down." You look up at him and he stares down at you with a mix of shock and a bit of reluctance. Before he can protest you shush it, "I promise I will be fine. It's like all the other times." Except you'll be the one pinned to the floor. You smile at the thought.

Volt steps forward and you seem to circle each other for a moment before he makes a move, he's predictable with the way he moves toward you, practiced fluidity, and grace from flitting around the bar carrying five conversations at a time. God he made it look so easy. His hand found your hip to get you down and you took the advantage and managed to get him to the ground in seconds.

And holy fuck Volt really liked the feeling of you having him pinned to the floor. That was his first thought. His second is shock that you got him to the ground so quickly.

You smiled down at him clearly proud of yourself.

There's silence for a second. And then.

"Is that a banana in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?" You grin shifting your hips just enough to make him gasp.

"I'm always happy to see you Spark." Volt says before he leans up and tugs you down to kiss him. You groan into the kiss the change in angle making the bulge in his pants brush against the fabric of your gym shorts. You make out for a long few minutes, at least you think so. Only broken when Eddie pulls you off and into his arms, he holds out his spare hand to help Volt up. You shriek wiggling in his arms. "Eddie! I have to shower I'm all gross from working out." You say still attempting to get free. His hand swats your thigh lightly to get you to stop wiggling.

"If I'm not buried between your legs in the legs five minutes I am going to die. No." He kisses you then, biting you bottom lip, when he pulls away he moves toward your shoulder and bites down on the muscle there sucking a dark mark into the skin there. "Still want that shower?" He asks. You shake your head letting him carry you back into the club. You don't hear what Volt says but Eddies resounding No, makes you figure he might've mentioned fucking on the bar again.

"My light you can't even begin to comprehend what you do to me." Eddie says dropping you onto the bed, Volt sits at the edge looking at Eddie as if waiting for a command. He looks over at him, hands cupping his face. "Don't worry, I haven't forgotten about you. You'll get your fill in a moment. Just be good and sit here for me okay?" He only lets go when Volt nods and Eddie tilts his face to look at you on the bed.

You'd never forget the look in his eye when he crawled atop you. You were certain you'd dream about it for the rest of your life.

drink water, take care of yourself, i love you, goodnight mwah! <3

moth out

[sleepymothafterhours]

I just read a fic where Eddie fucks reader while Volt watches and like

UGH SO CANON????

Cus he so would, what is there not to love about watching the two people he loves most in the world, two people he’d literally kill for, bring each other pleasure knowing he’s watching.

It’s only second to actually fucking them obviously.

I’ll make a think piece on this at some point. But I’m at work right now.

[sleepymothafterhours]

GUYS IM SO NORMAL ABOUT THEM (about to lick the screen) OH MY GODDDDDDDDDDDDDD

i am normal and can be trusted around electrical equipment

[sleepymothafterhours]

(ФωФ) me again, love the writing and while I was expecting teddy x reader to be romantic I don't have the game so I also don't know anything about him other then design and that he and player were childhood friends lololol thank you for the food ﾟ+(人・∀・*)+｡♪

of course lovely, i might write more romatical stuff for him once i play his route i love his design so much but i havent gotten around to playing him yet

[sleepymothafterhours]

(ФωФ) I have an idea~ teddy x reader angst/fluff so reader ends up homeless as a teen/young adult and to cope turns to tattoos, piercings and addiction, they send many years like that before getting clean and rebuilding their life, eventually they manage to buy a home and get back some sentimental belongings (teddy), when they get the dateviators they're so happy to talk to teddy but also have a lot of insecurities since teddy loved/was close to them as a child they (wrongfully) assume that teddy doesn't like or is even disgusted by who reader turned out to be since reader is completely different compared to who they were as a child (*/∀＼*)

Contains: allusions to alcoholism, using piercings and tattoos to feel pain, homelessness, bad family dynamics, angst with a happy ending, car crashes, depression, substance abuse, please proceed with caution

teddy & reader, its platonic,

Fucking up the only soft thing in my life

"If you have such an issue with my rules you can leave!" Arguing is pointless but in the moment you're so full of rage you just can't help it.

"I didn't fucking take anything!" You scream at what may as well have been a brick wall. Your bag is discarded in the living room, emptied out, you don't bother picking it up as you storm off to your room. The brick wall follows after you still screaming nonsense and you just can't stand to do anything other than tune it out.

"Give me your phone." The woman in front of you says. When you hesitate she moves to grab you, you flinch harshly backwards deeper into your room. Fuck. A part of your brain activates when she moves to grab you again, like an animal that's been cornered, all it knows is bite and survive. "Give me the fucking phone before I smash it." You dig around your pocket tossing it at her. Better to lose it for two weeks.. or months than have to save up for a new one. She sneers at you as she leaves.

You collapse onto your bed, adrenaline mixing with fear and a helplessness you learned you could never crawl out of. You lay there staring up at your ceiling hand mindlessly grabbing for one of the stuffed animals on your bed. "Three more years buddy." You whisper to the stuffed bear. "Then I'll get the fuck out of this town." Or I'll die. you think to yourself burying your face in the soft fur of the bear.

Weeks bleed into months and after awhile there's peace in the house again. You walk on eggshells so you won't disturb it, get good grades, stay off your phone in the living room, be polite during bag checks after school. That's the thing. You never do anything, of course there were times when yeah you did something wrong but you didn't do anything that would have warranted the way things would escalate.

The last thing you remember is the look you exchange with your dad on the way out. He's sad to see you go, but he's never stood up for you before. He wouldn't risk his new life for you. So, with a bag slung over your shoulder you leave.

You're happy you have a job, a stable enough income to keep your phone on and your stomach with enough food in it. You're luck you live in a city where the cold is never too cold and the hot is usually not that terrible. It's the rain that gets you the worst.

But it's hard to feel anything when your stoned out of your mind most nights.

In those moments where the one thing that grounds you is the teddy bear you threw haphazardly into your backpack the day you left. You cringe at the memory of being drunk out of your mind and sobbing into the poor things ratty little ear apologizing for..god only knows. You didn't actually remember a lot of that night other than crying so hard you puke.

You manage to finish school. Then in college you're lucky enough to get enough scholarship money to cover room and board for a good chunk of your degree(One of the perks of having dead or dead beat parents, this is something you tell people bitterly when they ask about loans.)

You want to throw him away. When you look at the bear you just feel this never ending wave of nausea, like you can see disappointment in those little beady eyes. Of course, you never do. He stuck with you through everything it would be betrayal to get rid of him. Besides, you don't want to be alone.

Sometime in your junior year you find yourself in the same situation.

They had too many freshman, couldn't house all of them so they had to kick people out. Luckily at that point you had a car to sleep in at least. You think that's around the time you started giving yourself shitty stick and pokes. Bored in the car doodling under a shitty streetlamp turned into giving yourself tattoos to deal with everything you felt and god you felt so much. Through all of it the only constant you had was that bear. You're so full of anger you think about giving up.

It's just your luck that on the day you graduated with your degree in hospitality, or as you called it, your BFA in working at McDonalds for the rest of your life, your boyfriend at the time crashed your car.

It was also just your luck that your dad was still listed as your emergency contact, part of you felt guilty that he had to drive all the way out here, a few states away from your old home, just to get to you. But you had no one else, there was relief in not being alone. It wasn't that your boyfriend had died but the minute you hit the ambulance he cut all ties and contact the bastard. Thank god you didn't live together. There was a note on your nightstand next to the hospital bed.

Made sure to save him for you. I can patch him up no problem, they wanted to throw him away but I knew you'd want him.

-Dad

You wiped at your eyes looking at the bear on your nightstand, fucks sake he looked as bad as you. There was another note by him.

P.s, Didn't leave, just wanted some shitty hospital coffee, and thought you might like lunch.

Your dad had reached out to try and repair your relationship a few months back but you hadn't told him about your living situation, your car was good enough. Now you didn't know what to do. You held the bear close to your chest the smell of fire and gasoline reaching your nostrils filling you with nausea but you pushed it down, it was the closest comfort you had right now.

It took a few months and some intense physical therapy to be okay again. You moved back to your old town, painfully aware of the hurt little kid inside of you screaming at you for coming back but after a few months and an insurance payout you managed to save enough to get a new car. Your parents had gotten a new house.

They rented it to you after deciding they wanted to move. The house felt empty without them. It took time. But slowly you started to get better, you stopped giving yourself piercings and took the time to cover a few of the scars that a few of them left when you decided to take them out, you got a cover up done on your arm from the poorly done stick and poke you'd made the mistake of giving yourself when you were halfway into a bottle of Vodka your sophomore year. You felt. Better.

You'd moved the bear into the closet of your gym telling yourself that you were just outgrowing him. It had nothing to do with the disappointment you swear you could see in its eyes when you looked at him.

After about a year your best friend got you a new job. Only to immediately get fired.

Now you stood in front of this box that just busted through your window. More concerned about how you were gonna explain you your dad how you needed to fix the window. You sighed as you opened the box hoping it part that its not something dangerous. You look at the box confused when it happens to be a pair of glasses.

It took about a month to get used to everything. You'd say that was pretty good considering it went from just being you to there being a hundred some..people? In your house. There were objects you avoided, ones that didn't seem to like you, ones you clearly had different opinions from. And one that knew too much about you. You didn't want the lecture. You were scared to face the disappointment it must feel seeing how you've grown up. How different you are. You wanted to talk to it sure, to apologize for everything you went through together. You guessed maybe you were just afraid.

You couldn't avoid it forever though. Which led you here in front of the closet on your last charge of the day. You led the bear in your hands with the glasses on and before you knew it he was there before you. He looked sad to see you.

"I-" you try to speak but the words don't come out. "Sorry I should..I should just go I'm sorry."

He holds onto your arm gently when you turn to leave. "No. Please don't." His jacket looks soft, when you reach out to touch it, it is as soft as you thought.

You manage to talk for an hour skirting around the topic you wanted to talk about more than anything.

"Why did it take you so long to come to me?" He asks finally, you sigh.

"I thought you'd be disappointed. I'm so..different. Now." You say pulling gently on your septum to prove your point. "It's hard to face someone who knows you inside and out. I didn't want.." Teddy pulls you into a tight hug.

"Oh sweet thing. I'm not disappointed in the slightest. You are so so brave, and so smart and you've come so far. If anything I am happy you're still here. Still growing." He releases you with a smile and you curl up and lay on his shoulder.

"I'm so sorry. For everything, I was so fucking stupid-" He hears none of it.

"You were a child learning to be a person. It isn't your fault that the environment wasn't ideal. I'll always be here sweetheart no matter what." You nod wiping the tears from your face. Relief flooded you at the fact that he didn't hate you.

"I promise I'll stop avoiding you." You say and he smiles down at you while you sit there on the couch. You talk until the glasses die and go to bed feeling lighter than you have in years.

I haven't played Teddy's route so I fear i butchered the way he speaks BUT

I hope you liked it.

Heyy :3

Idk if you do platonic reqs but I shall attempt anyway

Platonic Eddie and Volt with reader who somehow matches both of their energies. Most of the time they match Eddie's energy, having the same 'I hate everyone' air to them and a low social battery. However when they preform at the bar, they match Volt's energy more, engaging with the crowd and walking around while singing and playing their instrument.

oh youre such a sweetie thank you for this req!!

Eddie & Volt & reader !

can be read as romantical but it is written platonic so nothing romantical happens

m.List

Social Cues

You sit at the bar watching Volt announce the next act. You can feel your brain fog as the club seems to get louder, the first sign your social battery was dying. You honestly didn't know how you managed to spend so much time in the club in the first place. Maybe it was the fact that Eddie balanced you out so perfectly when you sat at the bar. You give it five minutes, sip your water, sit through Johnny Splash get booed offstage.

You wave to someone, not even really recognizing their features, there it was the second sign. You turn back to Eddie who's wiping down the bar. "My batteries dead." You say fairly blunt, he looks up from his rag. "You need to leave or go up and be alone?" He asks watching Volt come over.

"I'm gonna go. It's like. Dead dead." You say, giving Volt a wave before you head out the doors once sure that everyone had gone back to their respective places in the house. Eddie nods and Volt says his goodnights as well, voice quieter than it usually was.

You don’t do a lot the next day feeling particularly drained, without much to do you lay in bed sleeping on and off throughout the day, at one point you get us to go sit curled up with Koa and Mateo, using a charge to take a nap with him and the inanimals. You did that a lot after exerting your social battery a little too far and being dead the next day. You might as well have been a stardew valley character, pushing your energy bar too far and having half the energy you usually did the next day.

You didn’t mean to sleep on the couch, waking up the next morning with a crick in your neck. You groan, stretching your arms above your head rubbing your neck, you get up to make yourself food when your stomach protests at you for the lack of sustenance through the day.

You leaned over the counter checking your phone for any missed texts, a few from Sam, nothing from tinfoil hat thank god. You didn't have the energy to respond to people so you sent Sam a simple low battery emoji and hoped she'd understand after being friends for so long. By the time your pasta was done you were ready for bed, and after putting your dishes in the sink and looking at the sink like the mere prospect of dishes was enough to exhaust you, you decided against it and went to sleep instead.

You felt recharged the next morning, and made it most of the way through a to do list of your own (clean living room, do the dishes etc) before you put the glasses on to make your way through helping objects in the house, you weren't expecting to get approached by Johnny when you'd gone to clean the bathroom. You were going to kill whoever told him you play guitar.

You were shaking your head before he could get the words out, you hadn't been on a stage since maybe your first year of college and you hadn't touched your guitar since, honestly at one point you'd thought about selling it. "Johnny I haven't played in years. Besides its stuck in the attic I can't even get in there."

"Lucky for you open mic night isn't till tomorrow Darlin'. Besides I heard you always picked things up quick please?" He was pleading and you didn't know when you went from no to yes.

"Johnny I can't get in the attic."

"Your bass is in the closet Azizam!" Amir piped up, you shot him a pointed glare. The idea of being on stage always made you sick beforehand but Amir always beamed about the confidence you felt in a concert outfit.

"Tommorow night?" You said raising a brow. "What's the music." Johnny flushed shoving a mostly illegible paper into your hands, it wasn't sheet music but you could make it work. "You owe me." You tell him before you go to leave, you needed to see if Volt had an amp hidden somewhere in the club.

You approached the closet with a sigh opening it to find the black case with stickers on it that looked like they'd seen better days. You pulled it out set it on the bed and opened it. It was a deep blue color, your favorite at the time. You'd gotten it for Christmas after years of begging for one every single year. You left it on the bed, leaving to hit the club before opening.

To no one's surprise you found Eddie fixing something. He almost hit his head on the bar when you saw you. You wave to him stepping deeper in the bar. It would be peaceful like this if it didn't freak you out a little, you usually found peace in silence, preferring it over loud boisterous crowds but not here, here you liked the loud, it was easy to disappear in it and sometimes let yourself be entertained for a little while.

You and Eddie sit quietly for a while, occasionally handing him tools when he asks, you break the silence to finally ask, "Do you guys have an amp?" Eddie looks at you like you grew another head before actually thinking through the question.

"Stay here." He says before pulling back a curtain and disappearing up the stairs for a moment. When he comes back a very tired looking Volt is behind him asking him why he woke him so early. His face brightens when he sees you. "Oh hello! You're here early live wire we missed you yesterday!" You give him a smile scratching the back of your neck.

"Yeah sorry. Battery was super dead yesterday." You say hopping off the stool. "Do you have an amp?" Volt also looks surprised at this before his mouth turns up into a grin.

"Only if you tell me what you need it for." He says glancing at Eddie who went back to working on the stool he'd been fixing.

"Johnny kind of. Begged me for help with his set." You say after an uncomfortably long pause. Volt looks all too pleased, he'd been trying to get you to perform since before the reset. "I don't really love the idea of digging out the key to the attic and then seeing if that old amp still works." You act like it isn't a big deal. Like the thought of being on stage again isn't making you lose your mind with anxiety. Part of you almost hoped that Volt would say something about the late notice but he'd already taken your arm and led you backstage. He looks around for a moment as if trying to recall where it got put. "ah!" He said moving toward the closet in a far corner. He wheeled out a small amp and then a bigger one.

"Jesus Christ I could sit on that thing." You say kneeling to look it over. Volt barks a laugh, recommending the bigger one because he isn't entirely sure if the smaller one even still works (He'd toy with it later.) You nod, he doesn't pry for details and you leave shortly after to work out the bass line that Johnny had given you. The paper had some sort of phonetically written rhythm that you could barely read because the paper had gotten wet quite a few times. With a frustrated sigh you head to the bathroom.

"Can I rewrite this bass line? Just tweak it a little bit Johnny?" the water turns on twice. A signal he'd come up with for a yes. "Thank you." You hit your office nodding along when Mac tries to talk to you so you can print out some manuscript paper before getting to work. For the first time in awhile you felt like yourself again, sitting at your desk thinking through what would have been the chord progressions for his songs, if he had a strong bass you knew Johnny had the potential to be fairly decent. When you finished you headed upstairs and picked the instrument out of its case.

Hours passed by the time you were done. You climbed into bed snuggling close to Betty, who had fallen asleep waiting for you, when you realized that the glasses were still on your face. You set them up to charge and fall asleep.

You spend most of the next day digging through the hamper for a shirt and when you find nothing dig around your closet. You spend the other chunk of the day practicing the part you'd written with Johnny. You were right, he did just need a stronger foundation. He looked grateful, and sounded more confident than you'd seen him in awhile.

You stood backstage listening to Volt announce the two of you. Your bass was heavy around your neck but you stood tall. You smiled as you went out plugging the instrument into the amp. You turned the volume knob down a little and tested it. An air of confidence you didn't usually have surrounded you and when you locked eyes with Amir in the crowd he was grinning. He shot you a thumbs up and without thinking you blew him a kiss and watched him giggle over it.

You were focused while you played at first, a little worried about fucking up but as you got more comfortable you got a little more into it bumping Johnny with your hip to get him to be less stiff. The crowd eats you up and by the time your done you feel like you're buzzing. The set stops for a second and you grab a water taking a sip and setting it down only to hear a mixture of boos and calls for yo uto chug the water. You roll your eyes kneeling at the edge of the stage and slamming back the water. You look out at them with a grin. "Never boo me again." You say with a wink.

You swear you black out the rest of the show. When the club closes and you sit at the bar you seem back to your old self as Volt comes up to you. "Now why on earth have I never seen you like that before you are simply electrifying." you flush at his words and give him a shrug taking a sip from your water. You can feel your battery depleting rather quickly now and you're thankful when Eddie gives him something to do. "It was good." Eddie says when he returns. You nod your thanks and sit quietly for another few moments before you stand.

"Battery dead?" Eddie asks, you nod. "See you tomorrow then." Volt waves from across the bar and you leave heading to bed. That was why you liked being around them so much. They never pushed. Though you were sure Volt wanted to sometimes, he never did. He treated you with similar care that he would Eddie, pulling you from a crowd when he could see your social battery get low. It was nice. It was why you kept coming back even after the reset.

Guys can you tell I'm a music major? I dont play bass but I am learning it and I love it, okay goodnight MWAH go to bed.

as per: reblogs, comments and likes are welcome,

Hello! I'm the anon that asked for Eddie/Volt x Anxious/Distrusting Reader.

I just wanted to say, thank you so much for writing it! It was extremely well written and I LOVED the domestic moments with Eddie and Volt! Eddie would absolutely do Volts hair, that was so cute! I also adored that we were besties with Lux! That interaction was so funny and genuine! Also Reggie showing up for THE BOYS!? Amazing take on that part of my request!

I really appreciate you taking the time and effort to explore this request and see it through! I really enjoyed reading it and look forward to seeing what else you share with us! Thank you again so much!

Thank you I'm so happy you enjoyed it! This is so sweet oh my goodness. I really loved exploring what I think domesticity would have looked like with the two boys and AUGH i love them so much i could cry.

I hope to see something from you again I actually got really excited when I saw this in my inbox.

Hi! Would it be possible to request an Eddie/Volt x Anxious/Distrusting Reader?

I imagine Eddie and Volt maybe pinning a bit upon the first meeting and the rumors from around the house but when they actually meet, they're shocked at how offput the reader is by them?

Volt tries his best to flirt it up and be a great host to get the reader on his good side but the whole interaction the reader is just a nervous mess because 'we just met why is he flirting so hard? I don't even know him. Oh God what if he's trying to make fun of me or show the rest of the house how stupid I am?'

Reader shows genuine concern for Eddie but when they go check on him he essentially tells them to get lost and he's fine. So reader visibly flinches and deflates before leaving not wanting to make him uncomfortable or hate them more (they were just trying to help why was he so mean? Does he think they're incapable of helping? Does he already hate you? Oh he probably DEFINETLY already hates you; you asked to help him too many times, you're so dumb for thinking he'd want your help)

The whole interaction the boys can't seem to figure out exactly what went wrong? Why you don't come see them a second time. Why some other objects talked about how distressed you were the rest of the day.

They've heard such great things about you and think you're amazing but somehow they messed it up and don't know how to get you to like them. (If Volt couldn't do it what the heck do they do?!)

Also if you do end up writing this can you please make it a happy ending? I love a good angst fic but if there's no 'fix it', I myself get anxious and sad 😅

Baby i got you, I love angst but if it doesn't solve by the end i get sad

Static in the air

It took you quite a bit of time to show your face around the club in the first place. You spent a lot of your time with Koa, enjoying the quiet, the lack of conversation made you anxious in the beginning but eventually not having to predict how your facial expressions should look, rehearse how you're gonna say something in your head a million times before you say it, or overthink everything you ever said you started to enjoy the quiet.

For awhile what kept you away was Dorian's warning about the "miscreants" in the closet, but talking to Tony had you wondering how true it could've been. After all Tony was no miscreant. He was just loud.

Besides, you told yourself you were going to use the dateviators to help around your house. Maybe they had something for you to help with.

That was what you kept telling yourself as you stood in your closet staring at your fuse box with the glasses clutched in one hand. You put them on, shot a beam and there he..holy shit.

He's beautiful. Light surrounds his hair giving him that same sort of angelic look you saw when you first met Lux. He standing there looking at you expectantly and you realize that you hadn't heard a word of what he just said.

"Sorry, what?" Your face flushes when he chuckles and leans down just slightly too close, you back up on instinct.

"No need to apologize live wire." Oh you liked hearing him call you that. "I was merely asking about what kept you away, we've been wondering when you would make your way here." His hand brushes a stray hair out of your face and lingers just slightly too long on your face. As if you weren't a total stranger, what was he doing? Your head ran the million reasons and motives he could've had for being so casual with his affections. It had to be a joke, you'd been there before, too many times to count. You wouldn't say it made you closed off! No matter how many times Ben-hwa tried to tell you it had, it simply made you cautious. You chuckled nervously, giving him a smile as he led you inside, you found a way to side step out of his arm around your waist as he led you inside the club. You mostly listened while he talked nodding along here and there until.

"Volt." Oh there's two of them? You're used to only seeing one person, unless its Curt and Rod. You tune out a lot of the conversation, the music in the club making you mildly overstimulated until you hear the sort of disdain in his voice when he adresses you.

Can you really call it adressing?

"The human? Why would I wanna do that." You turn your gaze back to them before he leaves with little more than a nod at you.

Did you do something wrong?

"No dear nothing wrong at all. His human skills leave..a lot to be desired." Volt says smoothing over the worry that had tugged at his brow when Eddie had come over.

The lights flicker but when you ask about them you get a weird non answer instead of what you'd been hoping for.

You're fairly zoned out for most of the show, Johnny gives you a shy wave from the stage and you return it with a quiet smile, but otherwise you sip a glass of water and debate seeing if Eddie would give you a coke. You were anxious he'd laugh if you asked for something non-alcoholic. In the end you didn't move from your table and as the club came to a close you approached Eddie with caution.

"Club's closed." He says as you approach, he barely looks up from the drink he nurses.

"I just, wanted to make sure you were okay. You seemed off earlier." You stand by the bar but don't sit.

He looks at you for a moment, you can't tell if he's mad at the question. "I'm fine. Bye."

You don't like the way you feel as you leave.

You don't come back for a couple of days.

And then a few more.

---

Volt notices, Eddie's too busy working himself to death to notice much. He's getting ready for sleep after a rough closing when he mentions it. "I haven't seen the human since that first night." He says, trying to act casually while he brushes his fingers through his hair in front of the little vanity in their room. Eddie grunts something incoherent from the bed. He yawns before he says anything, tucked under a few blankets.

"Really? I hadn't noticed" He says pulling a banket higher on his shoulders.

"Hard to notice anything when you're buried in work." Volt mutters from his spot across the room. "I think you spooked them." He says with a sigh before joining Eddie in the bed.

"Me? I barely talked to them." He says turning as the lights flick off. "You on the other hand. Hand on the waist may have been much, I saw that little side step they did." Volts hand traces his jaw with a chuckle.

"Careful darling, You almost sound jealous." He plants a kiss to Eddie's cheek. "You know my heart is yours spark." Eddie grunts again turning back around.

"Wake me up in the morning please? I still have some shit to get done before we open." Volt doesn't answer. He won't wake him and they both know that, so he won't make a promise that he can't keep.

You show the next night. As if the mention of you had summoned you to the place.

"Live wire!" Volt sounds relieved to see you came back. You give him a shy wave and look around for Eddie, when you don't find him you go to ask but Volt distracts you whisking you away to a table. When the show concludes you go to leave and find Eddie sneaking back out here to do work.

You give him a wave, He says something that you don't quite here. He looks like he's uncomfortable talking. You feel bad so you tell him you'll leave.

You don't remember what led to him inviting you to help, or what you said to prompt it but you find yourself there the next night.

You seem to crack his shell at least a little. He's funny, and though he's not a great teacher, and you do hit your thumb more than a couple times with a hammer, you have fun. When he leaves you hop on the ladder without thinking. You almost reached the bulb.

"Wait hold on that ladders on-" he's too late, the ladder collapses and you're prepared to feel your back him the ground but it doesn't. He catches you. "Are you okay?" his voice shakes, his grip is tight on you and he doesn't move to let you go.

You nod. "I..I think so?" When he doesn't put you down you say, "You can put me down now. Sorry"

"What the hell were you doing up there?" He sets you down holding you by the shoulders. You flinch pulling out of his grip and he takes a step back when he notices your anxiety seem to rise, you stiffen.

"You told me to change the bulb." Your voice is small when it comes out and you turn.

"I told you to change the one behind the bar. That floors unstable you could've been hurt." You flinch again at the anger in his voice, you just wanted to help. You mumble an apology and the night ends. you come back the next day with your guard up. You promised to help so you would but after that you'd give him what he clearly wanted, you'd leave him be.

He doesn't leave you alone the next day watching over you like a hawk and you can't tell if it's because he doesn't like you being in his bar or if he doesn't want anything to hurt you again. You can't tell.

"You're quiet." He notes.

"You don't like me. I don't know why. Or what I did but I said I'd help you so that's what I'm gonna do. And then you'll never have to see me again." You keep hammering the floorboard not looking up at him.

"I never said I didn't like you." He says squatting to your level.

"You don't need to. You show it, You seem so pissed about my coming around." You say standing to find the next thing to do.

There's nothing. Eddie mixes you a drink at the bar, you take it with a smile but drink it warily. "Did I do something?" You ask flat out. Eddie shakes his head.

He's completely taken back by the question, it's infuriating how much he thinks there's nothing you could do to make him hate you, he's exhausted but with your help he hasn't felt this good in days. "What could you possibly have done?"

You don't answer him. You get up to leave but he stops you. "Are you coming tomorrow night?" he asks, you give him a confused look. When you shrug he lets you go, and you walk out the door.

"Now tell me how the hell you managed to fuck that up." Reggie Says from behind him. Eddie twists and rolls his eyes. "Get the fuck out."

You don't show again for a few days and this time Eddie brings it up.

He's putting Volts hair up before bed, a little ritual they had that neither knew when it started.

"They haven't been coming around." He says not hiding the worry. Volt nods as best he can when half his hair is in Eddie's fist. "Do you really think I spooked them?" He looks down at the blankets and Volt sighs and turns to face him.

"I don't know why they decide to avoid us. They get on well with everyone in the house I've heard, even Cam seems to be at least civil with them and you know how he is." Volt stands, climbing into the bed. "I think all we can do is hope they show tomorrow night."

You meanwhile lay in your bed rambling at Lux who seems to have completely given up filming their fifth piece of content for the night. "Lux I don't know what to do! I don't understand what I did that made them hate me so much. And I haven't heard a peep from Reggie the whole time. Like, a rejection so bad even the concept of rejection doesn't wanna talk about it." You rest your head on one of the pillows curling in on yourself while Lux looks at you with a dumbfounded look.

"Girl-" You interrupt them, "No you don't get it you have people fawn over you at every corner-"

"Oh my god they're in love with you." Lux says finally snapping a compact mirror shut. You look at them like they grew a second head.

"Have you heard a word I said? Volt was so touchy from the start that means its a joke and Eddie wants absolutely nothing to do with me clearly I mean fuck he was like my second shadow while we were fixing the bar-"

"He was watching to make sure you didn't almost kill yourself. Again." They supply the more logically answer, "And Volt, is just like that I think. He's all charm but do you see the way they look at you when you're there?" You shake your head at this. But you can't find anything to argue.

"And Reggie not showing up means they never outwardly rejected you." Lux pulls you up grabbing your makeup bag and rifling through your closet. "Get up and put this on." They say throwing an outfit at you. "We're going to the club!" They beam at the idea clearly proud of it. They drag you out when you're ready and conveniently disappear into the crowd with a simple muttering of "I'm literally so amazing. you're welcome bye babes!" Right as Volt approaches.

He looks relieved again to see you. And you notice that he's more reserved with his touches this time. When he invites you to dance with him you search his face for any signs of a joke, a trick. You find nothing but his waiting hand. You flinch back only for a moment before you take his hand. He smiles and with gentle ease leads you deeper into the club. You notice the eyes on the two of you as he seems to pull you to a more secluded corner of the club.

"As much as I enjoy being the center of the spotlight. I'd rather be the center of yours right now." He says, He's too close, too far. He leads you with grace not flinching when you accidentally step on his toes. Even shushing your apologies when you try to say you're sorry. he pulls you flush against him when you try to pull away the second time you step on him.

"Do you flirt with everyone like this?" You ask as the music comes to a stop, his eyebrows lift just a little.

"Only one other." He says tucking a strand of your hair behind your ear. You give him a shrug.

"Yeah well. I'm sure your boyfriend wouldn't approve. I don't think he likes me much." He looks confused for a moment. But the show has to start in just a few moments.

"Wait for me. After the show?" He asks, you find yourself nodding and he's off.

You sit and listen to the announcement, watching him on stage with a bit of awe before he crumbles, he seems to be in pain. You stand from your seat intending to make your way over to him but the lights flick out.

You feel your way around listening to the sound of panic as people make their way out. "Hello?" You feel a door, push through, more dark. The door shuts behind you and you call out again. "Hello?"

"Over...agh! Over here." You walk closer to where you find Eddie, Volt's helping him stand, he stands just slightly in front of Eddie while you three speak. Eddie looks nervous when you go to flip the breaker. But after a lot of redirecting the power gradually flicks back on.

You find Eddie at the bar. He nods at you, "Hey live wire." He says, he sounds tired but not nearly as tired as you'd heard the last couple days.

You look at him, it looks like a weight was taken off his shoulders. "Are you..?" You trail off. He nods.

"Yeah. I..I haven't felt this..good in so long." He's got a glass in his hand and he looks more at it than you. Volt finds his way over and you can feel the relief that radiates off of Eddie at the sight of him. You've never actually seen them this close to each other before, Volt rests his forehead against Eddies, relief mirroring his expression. "You're okay." He says quietly. You take a step back to give them privacy.

"I'm alright, I'm right here my spark. Are you okay?" Volt seems to search Eddie's face for any pain. When he finds nothing they pull apart and look at you. "Thank you." Volt says motioning for you to come closer. Him and Eddie exchange a look. Volt looks at you, then back at Eddie, he clears his throat pointedly.

"Thank you. For everything. Without your help I wouldn't have..things wouldn't..Fuck it you know what I'm trying to say." He runs a hand through his hair and Volt chuckles.

"He means to say he's quite taken with you. Despite, some first impressions we seem to have made." Volt seems to move to take your hand but thinks better of it.

Your brow furrows. "Taken with me? As in..?"

"As in do I really need to spell it out." Eddie turns to polish a glass that's already clean. Volt laughs, covering his mouth with one hand.

You nod stepping a little closer to the two of them. "The feelings mutual." You give them a quiet smile, but the anxiety you felt over them had yet to really quell. "But uhm. Is it okay if we go kinda slow?"

"Darling we'd be more than happy to have you." Volt says pulling you into a loose hug. "At whatever pace you would like."

Content warnings: biting, stimming via biting your boyfriends

I feel I shouldn't need to say this but do not bite wires IRL.

The 3 times you bite your boyfriends (and the 1 time they bite back)

It's easy to fall into your two boys and adjust to the way they show their love. Volt in subtle touches, words that make your head spin. He is loud about the way he loves you and Eddie, even if Eddie's more quiet about it. You see it in the way Volt looks at him across the club while he's announcing the next act. With Eddie it’s different but you feel it no less. The soft smile he gives you when you enter the bar, the hand on your waist when you need to grab something and need the step ladder. This you could argue branches from the last incident where a ladder was involved but it gives you that warm feeling nonetheless.

When you’re in the club, and it’s packed he’s more reserved with his touches, only getting a quick accidental brush of fingers when he hands you your drink, or his hand brushing hair out of your face, pulling your bottom lip out from between your teeth when you were especially concentrated. When you were alone it was different usually, he’s more touchy, not like Volt is but, you’ll sit together in their little loft while Volt’s still asleep, you’ll be facing him in his lap with your legs wrapped around his waist, as close as you can be while he runs his hands through your hair as if he can’t believe you’re real.

It’s where you find yourself now actually. “I know you don’t technically have to eat but, do you want some breakfast? Before you have to work on opening?” You ask, he’s braiding and unbraiding a piece of your hair.

“No I’m okay. Just wanna sit here with you.” He says, you rest your head on his shoulder, enjoying the quiet, the peace, the soft hum of electricity that’s always there. Oh how lucky you were.

You lifted your head just slightly and without really thinking you nipped his shoulder. Not hard enough to hurt but enough that he could feel it. “Did you just..bite me?” He asks letting out a confused laugh, you nod biting the backs of your the piercings on your bottom lip to hide your smile. “Sorry should I not?” He shakes his head stifling his laughter to not wake the white haired man beside him.

“Not a bad thing spark just wasn’t what I was expecting.” He runs his fingers through your hair again as Volt yawns and shuffles in the bed, his eyes open and find yours and you swear the hum of electricity in the room increases just slightly, only for a moment before it’s gone again.

---

It doesn’t happen again for a good amount of days. Some nights you don’t wind up at the club, wrapped up in helping other objects in the house and running out of charges before you realize. But when you find yourself there one night it’s not as busy, there’s no maintenance to help with, there wasn’t even an act. It’s too quiet, and the lack of movement has you catching your teeth on the metal of your piercings. It’s not enough. By the time the bar closes you’ve paced the perimeter at least four timed, talked to Dorian, begged Eddie for something to do. Your teeth feel like they’re vibrating and it almost hurts you not to bite your nails. Volt sits next to you having chased out the last few stragglers wrapping his arm around your waist, your head falls dramatically with a sigh onto his other arm. He chuckles, “Bored live wire?”

Honestly you applaud yourself for the five seconds you restrained yourself. You bite his arm the same way you did Eddie a few days ago. Then again, then did kind of a fake gnawing before pulling your head up immediately better. He sputters, though he’s normally the smoothest man he seems caught off guard, “Not that I’m exactly mad about it my spark but..why?” You shrug.

“I can feel my heartbeat in my teeth. If I didn’t do something I was going to die.” He chuckles at this, “I’m serious!” You fall against him dramatically with a sigh as Eddie makes his way over.

You didn’t mention the fact that sometimes you looked at them and it was like you felt so much emotion for the boys you just wanted to squeeze them like a boa constrictor but would settle for just a little bite. Like right now as you were hugging Eddie and moved your head slowly to get in prime biting position before you heard him mumble, “Aht. Don’t even think about it.” Pushing your face away from his shoulder and neck. You wait, then lower your head slowly again only to get pushed again. It becomes a game of sorts, you know if he wanted you to stop he’d say and you would. You got a couple bites in before dissolving into laughter. “You’re so weird.” Eddie says, a chuckle leaving his throat. “Coming up tonight?” He asks as you sit back down. You shouldn’t, you want to. You don’t, you know Skylar needs a charge and the bots understand so you part for the night.

---

It's movie night, something that started without your knowledge. You sat between Volt's legs on the couch head resting on his shoulder while Eddie laid half asleep on the other side of him. You don't think you've seen either of your partners looking this content in awhile. You tried to pay attention. And you got through the first half! But the second half of the movie made you restless biting your tongue, bouncing your foot while you tried to keep yourself from going and finding something else to do or pulling out your phone.

Volts arm is slung across your chest, you study the fabric of his shirt focused on the threads and the bit of exposed skin at his wrist, you bite your lip pulling at the skin feeling the sting as you peel off the dried skin. You lean down, slow. He pushes your face back up. You lean again, push. You fidget in your place and he seems to realize what you were doing. He takes one of the bracelets on his wrist, one that matches your own as well as the necklace that Eddie kept tucked under his shirt at all times. It was made out of a thick piece of blue wire. You took a deep breath as you bit down on it, focusing more on the movie.

When you try to bite him again he doesn't stop you, the bracelet now on your own wrist you leaned down kissing his hand before biting his wrist. He chuckles lowly not wanting to disturb the others. You bite down again before pulling back up and trace patterns on his arm instead. When the credits roll you slide the bracelet back on his wrist and listen to him and Eddie bicker about him falling asleep.

"No I totally watched the whole thing I love..whatever movie that was." Eddie says, running a hand through his sleep mussed hair.

Volt sighs, "Sure Spark." He looks at you with a smile and mouths Feeling better?

You've never been better than you were here and now.

----

It had been a few days since you had realized the two of them.

you expected them to leave, pursue the things they wanted to, relish the freedom you'd given them. That's what everyone else had done.

There was a reason you had waited to do it.

But they didn't leave. And it was strange adjusting to living with them full time rather than seeing them once a day.

You sat in the kitchen watching Eddie cook dinner, when you found an opening you stood, wrapped your arms around him and kissed his jaw with a smile before burying your face in his shoulder. "Hello to you to Live wire." He says glancing at you, he's careful to turn himself in a way that will make it so you don't get popped by the grease from whatever he's making. You respond with a hum and a gentle bite to the shoulder.

When he's done he sets your plate down, calls Volt from the living room and turns you around with a look on his face that you couldn't quite get a read on.

His head hits your shoulder, you sway in the kitchen for a moment before. Bite.

"Did you just-?"

"Bite you? Yeah I did. Should I not have?" You shake your head no at his words, and he looks relieved.

"I'm supposed to bite you not the other way around." You give him a fake pout that he kisses off your face. Volt chuckles from the doorway.

"Am I interrupting?" He says pushing off the wall to hug you from behind. There's silence, nothing but the three of you enjoying the proximity. And then. Bite.

"You motherfucker." You mumble, he does it again, his teeth are sharper than Eddie's are and he's careful not to bite too hard. He knows you well enough to know how much pressure to use.

"Okay okay. Foods gonna get cold cut it out." Eddie pulls away and you giggle as you find your seat. You and Volt make eye contact across the table where you mouth, feel better? He nods shooting you a wink.

You think back to the first time you met them, that feeling you got deep in the pit of your stomach, it never went away, that fluttering you felt. Nor did the urge to bite them when they made you feel too many things.

this is all i could think of while writing this
