It is a very dear friend's birthday soon, and I thought there was no better way to celebrate it than with a little bit of shippy art.
We've spoken at length about how the throuple love to spend time out in nature. A little campfire to stave off some of the evening chill but on a clear night sky, the stars await. And of course it wouldn't be stargazing if Harmony did tag along with her parents.
Happy Birthday Writer~

@reflections-of-mobius asked:
A certain cream-yellow fox was feeling particularly enthusiastic about positivity, that day. And it was, to a degree, for no reason other than Node was in an exceptionally good mood and felt like spreading it. Which was why, as they'd wandered into the living room only to spot a certain hybrid about to walk out...they'd let out a playful fox's yelp, teleporting him directly in front of the couch before they were barreling into him, knocking the hybrid down onto the cushions as their arms quickly wrapped around him- head finding its place in the crook of his fluffy neck.
"I love you so much--- so, so fucking much---" they were gathering compliments- a quick mental-boot to figure out everything they wanted to say, everything to try to assuage any worry he might have and hopefully set the hedgefox's soul somewhere up in the sky. "---gorgeous violet eyes, pretty fangs, handsome face and delicious curves--- so kind, so caring but so damn fierce and Chaos if I don't love you for it,...!" And off their mouth went, deciding to start peppering his neck with kisses. It was a very good day for them. Tail wagging away. "I know you get scared at times that Bless n' I will leave you- but Hell if I'm letting that happen, you're stuck with our asses 'til th' days we die because you deserve to be loved, you deserve to be adored and fuck if I don't adore every damn thing about you.- Normal, feral, with those wings, that mark, without---you could be anything, you could do anything and you know what? I'd still love you. Still absolutely cherish you--"
They were rambling between those kisses, zero intent to stop unless the hybrid actually forced them to. Node was quite content to keep singing his praises- feeling their heart practically melt clear out of their chest with each new utterance of their warmth for him. Their absolute joy to know him- for no reason other than wanting him to know.
"---Big and fluffy or normal and fluffy, with wings or scales or fur or claws, needing blood or just hugs or kisses or literally anything, all y'gotta do is let us know, I promise..." Purring, interspersed with those kisses and words of praise. Tail wagging so quickly, the faintest lightness to the air as gravity eased around the two from Node's outpouring.
Excuse them, they were feeling extra hopelessly romantic today.- But there wasn't a word of those statements that wasn't true.
It had been a few days since Volt had come to realize there was more to the mark on his back than just being what he considered an eyesore. A few days since, he spoke to them about how it had come about and everything that had happened in that timeframe. It still threw him for a loop to think that only a day or so had passed at home while it had felt like at least a week to him.
As it was, things were calm in the household. Quiet even. So, to suddenly have his feet taken out from under him, not just once in the teleport but a second time by his partner.
Safe to say, he might have let out a startled sound as his back hit the cushion. A quick gasp as the scales rubbed the fabric to send a shiver along his spine.
One of these days, he would need to get that thing used to feeling things other than his quills against it.
Striped arms surrounded Node as they settled in against him, red tipped ears flicking as they began to speak. He hadn't been expecting them to pour their heart out today, but he wasn't about to mention how he might have been needing it.
His breath hitched. He had tried so hard to keep his insecurities to himself. Always afraid that something he said, something he did... Or how he looked would one day drive them away. Drive them both off. To hear Node offering those soft reassurances between loving affections.
It was enough to draw a shuddering breath from his lips as his arms gently tightened their hold. He tipped his head, nuzzling the top of his partner's with his cheek. It was damp, stained by the tears that had begun to gather and fall as they promised him something he never thought he would hear.
"I promise... I will... love you... for the rest... o' my life." Another shuddering breath to go with the kiss to their forehead. "You and Bless... are my world."

@reflections-of-mobius asked:
The pain meds had finally worn off- at least, those the doctor had used to put Node under. They awoke slowly, multiple hours of time little more than a blur. The blanket that held the scent of their partners fell from where it had been laying, a hand almost raising to brush through their hair, only to stop shy. No raising above the shoulder. They couldn't remember how long that was to last,...
Hazel eyes flickered down to their own frame. A hint lighter, a hint more like them, minus the bandages. A small chuckle fell from their lips.- Oh. Node paused, sniffing the air. Dinner. Food. Their stomach silently grumbled in want. That was all the signal they needed to slowly slide off the bed, pain registering in their chest, their shoulders- down their arms,...ack... Still, they pushed on- quietly padding their way through the inn, pausing at the door to the kitchen. Their tail swished from side to side, catching sight of those within.
"Looks like someone finally woke up!" Bless had turned from what he was working on, grinning. "How're you doing, Nodesy?" That was enough for them to drift into the kitchen, cream fur slowly picking up speed as ears pricked up.
"...'m doin' well,....don't...remember much, though..." A small smile crossed their face- a bit awkward. "...I'll...have t'ask you guys,...how I look, when th'bandages can...y'know..." Come off. It wasn't technically bandages, they were aware- it was some sort of...vest, but they rather preferred 'bandages'. Nearly made it sound like a fight they'd won. Against themself, maybe.
Not much happened in the Inn without one of the two hybrids hearing it beforehand. When he saw the teen’s head pick up after her ears flicked, Volt knew something was up. Most of the day had seen Harmony lounging around the family’s living space after they’d gotten home. She couldn’t help but worry a bit since it had been a surgery her nom had undergone.
At least the sound of her wagging tail was seen as a good sign.
Volt quickly shifted his ear at the soft taps of paw pads on the hardwood. Those soft footsteps were ones that he’d never mistake and smiled softly as Node made their way into the kitchen.
While they’d been sleeping, the hybrid had thought that between himself and Bless, they could work on cooking up a few of their partner’s comfort foods to tide them over while they recovered.

"So ya don't remember tellin' either o' us how hot we looked when we were standin' on either side o' the bed afterwards?" Violet eyes shined in good humor as he set down the plate he'd been filling with Node's dinner. All so he could gently reach up and tidy up some of the stray fur on their head from sleeping.
"Dad...." Harmony protested and covered her ears while resting her head on the dining room table. Really not something the teenager wanted to hear from her parents.

@reflections-of-mobius asked:
Node had never quite been the best at realizing where their hands were. What they were doing. Wild gesticulations followed when they were excited, hands flapping like they could fly when happy beyond measure- and often, Node could be spotted nibbling away on the claws they should’ve been working to keep in decent shape. They’d only nibbled all the more when Volt had returned- what time they hadn’t spent hugging him and murmuring about how happy they were that he was back. Thank Chaos, they’d thought as their hand moved of its own volition. It had found something, a strange thing, at some point- a normal day, on the couch with their loved ones- but they’d found something. Srck, srck.
It felt- strange. But pleasant, an ear ticking slightly to the side. Had Bless hidden something behind Volt?- They didn’t think so. They’d barely given it any mind- nails dragging idly along the texture, eyes on the television. Not a single thought until they’d realized it was warm, and their attention trailed- spotting dark purple, practically freezing. How long- had they been…? They didn’t know, but Node silently removed their hand from Volt’s back, ears flicking backwards. They shouldn’t have been doing that. At least Bless seemed blissfully unaware to what Node deemed a rather massive blunder. Their hand pulled back to them- a claw lodged between two teeth, returning to that small, trademark nibble.
Since Volt had returned from helping Shadow on the Ark, he'd done his best to keep his partners from seeing what he had deemed a disturbing addition to his body. While he was glad that the ordeal had given him back his right arm, the hybrid could have done without the giant mark adorning his back.
A constant reminder whenever he bumped it on something of his genetic ties to an alien species.
He'd been so careful at keeping it hidden by his quills. Whenever his partners came in for a hug, he ensured their arms were around his neck and never his middle. Today had just been a day when he wasn't as focused on it.
But maybe he should have been.
One arm was around Bless, keeping the hedgehog close to his chest as they watched the movie Harmony had brought home. Some superhero action film that she had borrowed from Buddy. He wasn't really paying it his full attention as his other arm was around Node, playing with the fur behind their ear absently.
At first, the hybrid didn't notice the hand. Only when the claw pressed against the scaled texture once, then twice, did it fully register. A sharp intake of breath and suddenly, the feeling was gone. It did little to ease the tension in his body, the way his quills had slightly risen before a whole body shiver racked along his spine.
"Dad?" Harmony tilted her head to the side.
"'S nothin' pumpkin." Trying to play it off, the hand around Node gently moved to pull the finger from between their lips. He offered them an apologetic smile instead and kissed the cream knuckles.
"Shoulda mentioned it sooner... I... 'S okay t' touch. Just... feels weird still." Carefully, he guided the hand back to the mark's edge. "Was Doom's parting gift..."

@reflections-of-mobius asked:
"C'mere--- c'mere--- c'mere c'mere-" Node...was in a mood. And that mood, as their partners would be quick to find out, was a nibbling one. Not necessarily in an attempt to elicit a night of fun from either, but simply- nibbling. Teeth trailing from one muzzle to another, purring and little fox-laughs tumbling from their mouth as their tail wagged. They couldn't get enough of the two- of their scents, of the feeling of their fur and quills and skin underneath their teeth. "---mine, mine mineminemine,....c'mere--- c'mere---"
It would seem, alongside the nibbles...their brain had gone clear out the window, once more. As it had a tendency to do when they got like this. They'd settle down eventually- but for now, they were a nibble machine, and neither Bless nor Volt were safe.
"If we get any closer, pretty sure we'll crush you." Their head flicked up- eyes lighting up like Bless had just had the best idea in the universe. "...so...cuddle pile, then?"
"Yes, yes please. Just wanna bite--- so cute- needa bite- handsome hedge n' fox---, needa bite---"
Never one to shy away from his partner's wishes, Volt had been willing to be pulled away from what he had been doing in the garden with Bless to close the space with Node. His tail swayed behind him and picked up speed slightly as teeth began to find their marks along his skin. A chuckle rose.
"You're lucky I just folded a buncha blankets." Although he had paused in his movement towards the Inn to sneak in a few of his own nibbles. If Node was going to be marking up his fur, it only seemed fair to return the favor in kind.
Inside they went. The spare pillows and blankets pulled free to lay all around the living room. Plenty of space for the three to get nice and cozy so that Node could get all of their nibbling needs out.
Volt snuck an occasional kiss to cream or tan lips between the bites and cuddles. A few nibbles of his own and massaging fingers.
They could make the most of the afternoon.

@reflections-of-mobius asked:
Node had been dozing peacefully in their fiancé's lap, tail slowly wagging from side to side. The sun was starting to set, later and later with each day...and today, they had been content to doze once dinner was all put up. At least- until a certain thought crossed their mind, hazel hues opening to look up, regarding their partner- slipping to the side to find the other's face as well before sliding back. Bless had been content to work on one of his woodworking projects while Node was resting between the two, purring away.
But no longer.
"....if we're all engaged,...should we start...y'know--- thinkin' about dates?" They could already see the smirk on Bless' face.
"Wow, wanting more are we? You might be greedier than we are, Nodesy~."
"You know what I meannnnt...." Node let their voice taper off with a soft whine. "...marriage dates...for that matter- we don't even know...what style we're gonna go with...yours, yours, or mine..." They'd fixed each with a look in turn. "...or try t'somehow mix all three...? Or elope..." Their head fell back into Volt's lap. "...mn....maybe I'll jus'...worry about it later..." After all, they were warm and content, right now.
With each day getting longer, Volt had more time to spend with his partners before guests returned for the night, and he'd need to attend to business. As such, he wasn't bothered by his lap being used as a pillow and even playfully set the ball of yarn on Node while he worked on a small amount of knitting. His smile grew as Bless joined them on the couch as they settled in for a bit of comfortable silence.
Until Node had shifted. Volt quickly caught his yarn before it could roll onto the floor and set his project to the side to regard them.
A soft snort followed the tease, shaking his head at Bless's antics before shifting slightly while considering everything. It was true. They hadn't really sat down to discuss the details of what their wedding would entail.
But honestly, he'd never thought he would be in the position he was in. Reaching down as Node settled back onto his lap, one hand combed their fur gently.
"I think we can manage t' blend our styles together t' find somethin' that works." One thumb playfully nudged an ear. "Can't help but wonder which one o' us is wearin' white."

@reflections-of-mobius asked:
Node was the first to cautiously reach out when Volt got home- having asked Bless to keep a hold of the stuff Shadow had given him. A key, a key ring...an old Chaos Emerald charm...they were still cautious about the thought- not wanting to introduce something that would harm him.
"Hey--- Shadow dropped by th' Inn earlier. N'...he gave Bless n' I some stuff...? Does a key n' a purple Chaos Emerald charm ring any bells...?" They were ready to teleport the white cloth in their hand to Bless' location so he could run in, if they were harmless. But the two couldn't help but worry- for all they knew, there could be something on those items,...
Volt couldn't help the way his quills shifted at the mention of the striped hedgehog entering the Inn. Especially since he had come into contact with both of his fiance's in the process. The last time Shadow had been close to Volt's late companion...
The thought was shaken from his head as he listened to Node describe the item in question. His left arm impulsively moved to his right bicep, feeling the fur and muscle under the pads of his fingers. Of course...
"They do." A soft tone as he let his hand fall to his side. "The key belonged to Düster and I. It was t' our cabin up in the woods."
"I... I haven't been up there since... his passin'... but I kept the key... in case I ever wanted t' visit..." Only when a single tear slid down his cheek did Volt realize he'd started crying. One hand reached up to brush it away with his palm. The other moved in to gently take one of Node's and intertwine their fingers as a ground.
"If ya have 'em handy... M-maybe we can see if Bless is up for a walk up the trail... I think 's time t' see how 's faired all these years."

@reflections-of-mobius asked:
Plans had been made- and the two could only hope that the day had gone off without a single hitch to it. They'd tried to sort out just what, precisely, Volt would love to have in a day- from breakfast in bed (Bless' idea) to taking a walk in the surrounding woods (Node's idea), and overall having a nice day out in the village. Though the two had tried to keep their plans rather private, Node wasn't the best at not letting a few of the residents know what they had in mind.
Pancakes for breakfast, some red meat for Volt and sandwiches for Bless and Node for lunch, even gifts sprinkled here and there (Bless couldn't help but try to offer a few of his self-grown plants, nor Node able to resist purchasing an item or two if Volt's gaze lingered too long). The two were quite intent to spoil, nuzzles and quill-rubs abounding throughout the entire day.
The only interlude was a (brief) return to the inn so Bless could transform in private. And once they were were all ready,...they'd set off for what had become their 'stargazing spot'- at least, the default Node seemed to always slide towards. The sky lit up every now and again with streaks of light- but Node and Bless' tails weren't wagging for that reason. They were practically leaning into Volt on either side, purring, waiting for the proper moment,...
And when the time came, there was a very small shoot of green that grew to press against Node's leg- and the two moved to sit up- before each turning, reaching for where they'd hidden their bracelets with no shortage of nervous (but excited) smiles.
Bless pulled out a small, light blue box- within which was a small vine-bracelet of sorts, with offshoots of color that glittered and faintly glowed- traces of Chaos Energy wafting off of it. He had, after all, grown it himself. The glowing sections were in two colors- emerald and gold, while the vine itself...was a brilliant fuchsia. Underneath it was a bracelet much in the same style, but that one had the gold and fuchsia colors swapped.
One moment it wasn't, and the next it was- as Node tended to be. A small, cream-yellow box appeared in their hands, which popped open as it landed. Inside, much like Bless' own, were two bracelets- the one on top seeming to be made of a mix of silver and woven materials, brilliant purple and gleaming silver allowing it to pop. Both were grinning, each face just a little flushed- but they'd survive.
"Volt, will you marry us?" Both their tails were going- it was clear they'd practiced to make sure they got their words down pat, one knee in the dirt and each box presented. All the planning could do was bolster their efforts.
"You make me so happy, and I know you may outlive us- but I never want you to be forgotten. I want to make you happy, until th' day I'm gone."
"And I can't imagine exploring another world without you. What's the point, if I can't do it with those I love? So-- will you? Give us this honor?"
Typically, Volt was the first one up in the mornings, but today had been a pleasant surprise of breakfast in bed. His smile said it all as he made sure both of his partners had been given a kiss for the wonderful start to the morning. The pair had nothing to worry about the hybrid knowing of their plans and didn't argue when Harmony had taken up a seat at the counter and shooed them all out the door for the day
Although she had winked at Node before the door closed.
The entire day had been delightful. Full of laughter and soft affections the trio could share with one another. Volt couldn't have asked for better understanding partners in his life. The fact that Bless and Node had gone out of their way to take his dietary concerns into account for lunch.
He'd make it up to them both later that night, but a kiss would have to tide them over until then. That and some teasing touches throughout the day as they all shopped.
By the time they had returned home just before sunset, Volt knew something was going on. But maybe that had been why his adopted father had mentioned to grab his old regulators. They had been taken apart and disabled. Nothing more than just bracelets at this point, but they had been important to the hybrid for a good portion of his life.
Boy was he glad he had brought them along that night.
Violet eyes watched the stars above, settled in between the two most important Mobians in his life. The only time his gaze shifted was the small gathering of chaos energy. It brought a raised brow before he was suddenly looking back and forth between his partners.
"What are you two..." His voice trailed off as they spoke and moved. At first, there was silence. Then, the hybrid's hands raised. One cupped Node's cheek while the other mirrored the action on Bless. A gentle coaxing to close the space between them as the gathering of tears in his eyes began to fall.
A smile bright enough to rival the nearly full moon affixed on his face as he took a moment to nuzzle each of his loves.
"I am the luckiest hybrid in the world.. Ya know that?" He kissed each of their cheeks, pulling back so his hands could open the large pouch on his belt. A soft clink of metal, the black regulators settling softly in his palm as he extended one to each of his partners.
"I know they're not as glamourous, but 's only fair ya both have somethin' from me if we're gonna be engaged, right?" He paused and carefully traded their bracelets for his regulators, taking time to help affix them to their wrists and holding still as they did the same for him.
Now, he could draw them both back in for another round of kisses.

"My beloveds~"

Volt got a good chuckle at how flustered Buddy got. Between the older hybrid teasing the teen about dating his daughter, Node’s curiosity and their compliment on the drone; it was a wonder the wolf’s muzzle didn’t match the color of the rest of his fur. The drone was put away and a moment was taken to readjust his glasses before looking between the adults.
“My friends in school started calling me Gadget after I started making them for school projects. I actually entered the drone in my science fair last year but I lost to Bernard.” The teen grumbled slightly. “He made a handheld translator with almost every language known to our Zone.”
“Was that the one that translated your Burst Wisp calling him an overzealous asshole?” Tangle’s voice came from the side as she and Whisper returned with the water skin full and another small jug filled as well. There wasn’t a verbal answer from him, but the boy nodded his head and covered his face with his hands. Right as the lemur plopped down beside him and attempted to swing an arm over his shoulder.
After almost face planting due to their height difference, she went with her tail. “If you ask me. The Burst had it right. That guy was such a pompous asshole. I bet his parents paid somebody to make it for him.”
“Thanks Tangle…” He gave her a smile and then looked back to Node. “Mind if we join you on the walk?”
“We do still gotta collect some firewood.” The three teens looked to Volt. He just raised his hands with a smirk. The campsite was set up and there wasn’t much left to do until they wanted to eat. So as far as he was concerned, they could do whatever they wanted. Within reason of course.

“Why not. I’m sure Bless and Harmony won’t be back for a bit still.” With that said, Volt got to his feet and offered a hand to Node. They could take in the sights while almost getting everything they needed for the campsite. Which meant that the two speedsters would have plenty of time to get their energies out in the meantime.
Which was exactly what Harmony was doing with Bless hot on her heels. Her laughter carried on the wind following the retort. The winds left in their wake shook the foliage and the teen turned her head to see just where he was behind her. It was clear she was having the time of her life being able to show off some of her speed.
“Keep thinkin’ that Bless. Ya can’t catch me!” Her laughter continued as the next part of the trail took them along the edge of the mountain. A clear view of the valley below and their campsite.
Node wasn't sure quite how strong Volt's Knuckles was- but they weren't about to take the fact Harmony could sometimes beat him as anything less than an absolute feat of raw power. They blinked a few times, an eyebrow sliding upwards. That eyebrow only went further seeing the pink on Buddy's muzzle. They knew at that point that Buddy and Harmony were dating,- but...it was still funny to see the boy's reaction to his OP girlfriend.
"I'll do m'best not to...." They grinned slightly, scratching at the back of their head. "...but I make no promises." Besides, if worst came to worst, they could always trade Harmony one of their own fail stories...it would only be fair, at that point.
They fully believed Buddy had been momentarily broken, given how the teen had all but stammered to a pause, a darker red hue encompassing his normally-slightly-lighter fur. Perhaps asking him about training was a bit much, but they'd still wanted to make sure they could dig up what they could about Buddy and Harmony, without being too painfully direct. Stars only knew, they'd about died when Bless' mothers had gotten hold of them several years back.
"Dang, that's nice!" They watched the machine for a few moments- eyes flicking towards Buddy. They couldn't see him using any controller or something to move it, which meant it must have been connected more thoroughly to the mobian...or reading his eye movements. It was a piece of tech that reminded them much of Inari. "I bet that gadget'll really come in handy in the future.." And if Buddy was making stuff like that at this age- they couldn't help but wonder what he'd be creating down the line. But- they didn't want to annoy the kid if he'd been told that a lot. Everything was a hesitant step when it came to Node.
"Oh, thank Chaos." They scratched at the back of their head once more. Node had been worried that Buddy and Gadget were two separate mobians here- but...that alleviated that concern. So the name and nickname were technically interchangeable...but they'd do their best to stick to his real name. "I kept wonderin' if Buddy n' Gadget were two different mobians, but I wasn't willin' t' check...!"
Scratch that. Hesitant step? More like 'too nervous'.
"A small price t' pay for stories." They stuck out their tongue playfully. For a split second, Node disappeared- reappearing on Volt's other side to peck his cheek before their vanished again- once more where they'd been before. "...still. If those're her wishes, then I'll just wait until Harms's okay with telling her own stories...if she ever does." Everyone deserved privacy.
"....I think I might try to explore a little around the campsite...any of ya wanna come with?" Maybe they could collect a bit of wood for later... It occurred to them that Volt had actually asked about it earlier...they'd never taken him up on the offer. "Volt? Y'mentioned that there might be a hikin' trail or two?" Maybe those who weren't focused on tasks for the camp could join. But that depended on who all would be okay with a leisurely walk along the mountains' trails.
"You know I can race circles around ya!" Bless' own speed was blistering- the wind picking up and flashing off either side of the path. Leaves were flung skyward, creating a near-wave of color behind the hedgehog as he soared down the path. He wasn't aware of the upcoming sharp turn- but the hedgehog was quick to adapt in an instant.
While Harmony had jumped and basically used the tree like a slingshot, her laughter filling the air... Bless took a hairpoint turn, essentially spinning his body halfway. It made his stomach churn ever-so-slightly, but so long as he didn't do it too often or fast, it was more than fine.
"You think that kinda turn'll stop me? C'mon, Harms!" His own laugh accompanied Harmony's, even as he tried to yell over the winds blasting by the duo. Of course, unlike Harmony, he gained no extra speed from that turn.
