|| cw: breeding kink, shameless smut LMAO fem reader implied but hey, omegaverse this if you please ||

|| wc: 516 ||

oh he is on you like a man possessed.

you don't even remember how it came up, but the next thing you knew, Hizashi was holding both of your shoulders and looking at you with big, sparkling eyes, even peeking up from behind those glasses of his which looked like they were about to fall off his face.

the only appropriate way to describe the way he had you laid out was a mating press, which was fitting with all the lewd words spilling out of his mouth. getting this man to spill his actually guts was a difficult task, one usually only Shouta or Nemuri could pull off..

though, you had managed it with one little idea. children.

Hizashi loved the idea of having kids of his own, more importantly, the sight of his lovely partner nice and pregnant. all plump and round with the little ball of joy growing inside of them.. and he wasn't afraid to let you know now that it was on the table. "God, you are just gonna look so damn sexy," he would whine into your ear, he was always so damn whiny. his arms would hook up under your knees, pressing your thighs tight against your chest while he slid his arms under you to hold onto your shoulders, leaving you at his complete mercy. how he could just fold you like a damn pretzel was beyond you, but you had other things to worry about.

"You're just gonna look so sexy with stretch marks baby, all swollen with my kids,, 'nd fuck your hips are gonna get so much wider.. can't wait for you to start lactating either- don't know how much I'll be willin' to share.."

only his voice, the wet suction between your two, sweat covered bodies, and the muffled playback of the music he was broadcasting filled the studio. "I can't wait to have a couple of kids running around.. can't wait, gods I can't wait. 'm gonna make sure you're nice and full, 'kay?" he would press his face into the side of your neck, his grin only growing wider as he repeatedly drilled his hips into yours, right on top of his sound panels. "Nice 'nd full, gotta keep you nice and full of me, baby.. gonna keep you pregnant 's long as I can.."

and really any voice you had left, only being able to let out high pitched whines and bubbly little noises from your throat, drool sliding down your chin as he quite literally fucked you silly. this man does not know slow, tender lovemaking, but then again, nothing about him is slow or tender.

he was probably on his third orgasm, and you had lost count, especially since every he pumped you full. he just wouldn't take a minute to stop and would immediately fuck any of his cum right back out of you, just to give you the excuse, ".. 's terrible to let it all go to waste like that.. gotta fill you up again."

needless to say, you were in for a longer friday night than you expected.

“Sylop sabacc,” you exclaim as you show your cards, winning the game. The other players around the table groan in defeat as you shovel the credits in the middle towards yourself, stuffing it all into your pockets. With a mischievous snicker, you give a two finger salute, and they roll their eyes playfully. Calling your massiff Nugs (short for Sir Cuddle Nugget I), to follow you, you walk out of the Pyke’s card room. You head to Makal’s cantina to get a drink now that you have some extra credits on you. 

Once there, you sit down at the bar. You don’t need to say anything and your drink of choice is immediately placed in front of you. Being on excellent terms with the Pykes certainly has its perks. Nugs settles at your feet as you take a sip of the tall glass, scanning the place for any familiar and unfamiliar faces. Not long after you arrived, you hear someone ask the bartender to go see Gorak. She replies that no one can get in without an invite, and the stranger smugly announces she’s got a VIP invite right here. You can’t help the little snort that escapes you, and the bartender explains to the newcomer that she just got swindled. 

“But,” the bartender adds as she dries another spotchka glass. “There might be someone who can actually get you an invite.” She shoots you a discreet look and you give her a short nod, then take another sip of your drink. 

The bartender gestures to you with her chin, and the newcomer woman takes a seat on the stool next to yours at the bar.

”So, what business do you have with Gorak?” you ask, your eyes giving her a once-over, then landing on her companion currently perched on her shoulders. “You’re not from around here, are you? I would remember your cute little friend here. It’s not every day you see a merqaal.”

The creature trills happily, walking down the woman’s arm onto the bar and sniffing your extended hand, then letting you give him some chin scritches. There’s a grumble from underneath, and both the woman and the creature look down to see Nugs, who’s been lying at your feet. He stretches with a yawn and looks up at the little critter with a head tilt.

”Oh don’t get jealous, Nugs,” you say, giving the reptilian hound a couple pats on its flank. Directing your attention back to the small creature, you ask, “And what’s your name?”

”This is Nix,” the woman says, and Nix trills again, hopping down the counter to greet Nugs properly as well. “I’m Kay, Kay Vess, and I need to see Gorak for… a job opportunity.”

You tell her your name as well, and take another sip of your drink, slightly narrowing your eyes at her. 

“What you mean is you need a job,” you implicitly ask, and she gives you a reluctant nod. “Well, I can take you to Gorak, but–“

”If you want credits, I just got swindled by someone who also told me he could get me in, so no thank you.”

”I heard. You really need to be more careful, but look, you can trust me.” Running your fingers over the chain hidden underneath your shirt collar, you find the two charms attached to it. One you push back, and the other one you hold up to show her: the Pyke syndicate insignia, clearly stamped on the round piece of metal. Then you tuck it away again. “You’re lucky, I’m feeling generous today, and Nix might have helped as well. I’ll take you to Gorak.”

”Right, but nothing is for free,” Kay says with a huff and leans onto the bar with one arm. “So, what do you want?”

You give a light shrug, downing the rest of your drink and leaving some credits on the counter, which the bartender is quick to swipe into her pockets.

“Let’s just stay in touch, Kay Vess. One can always use a favour out here, and I feel like we’ll be seeing more of each other,” you propose, and you exchange comlink channels. Getting off your seat, Nugs is quick to heel at your side, following closely. You prompt Kay to follow you, and take her to the turbolift that goes directly into Gorak’s suite.

As you arrive at the top floor, an Imperial officer seems to just have been shot by one of Gorak’s people, and the Pyke leader is ordering them to take him away. Staying further back, you gesture for Kay to go to him. She introduces herself, and Gorak seems amused by both Nix and her boldness. Then she makes the mistake to say that Waka sent her. You wince slightly at the mention of his name.

The Rodian is also a mechanic, like you are at heart, and you’ve both worked together on several pieces of machinery. That is, until he sent you to steal some parts from an Imperial outpost, claiming it was currently unguarded, which obviously wasn’t true. He ended up scurrying away with the parts, while you were left as bait, barely managing to escape.

Gorak’s smile, if you can even call it that, immediately vanishes from his face at the mention of the Rodian. He sends Kay away with an annoyed sigh, and you join her again on the turbolift back down.

”I should have known Waka is scheming something and roping people in again,” you sigh, leaning against the wall. “Word of advice: be careful with him.” 

“Right,” Kay says, shaking her head at how that interaction went. 

The turbolift comes to a halt and the doors swoosh open. You see Danka, the Mon Calamari and local broker, standing by a pillar.

“And hey,” you say, nudging Kay’s elbow and pointing in Danka’s direction. “If it’s jobs you need, you can always go to her. And if I hear of anything, I’ll get in touch.”

You say your goodbyes, giving Nix also one last pat on the head, then watch as Kay goes to Danka. She’ll probably be explaining her how the underworld works around here. 

— — —

A couple of days later you’re at the Pyke workshop working as usual. One of the Pykes, once known to be a smuggler, has asked for several speeders to be ready for the afternoon. You already finished checking on them to make sure everything works, so you’re working on your own project. 

You overhear some hushed conversations from where you’re kneeling on the floor by some machinery, out of view. You peek over the top to see someone hurry out of the office, and it strikes you as odd, but you don’t pay much mind to it. A group arrives at the hangar and gets onto the speeders you readied, taking off. 

Unable to get the machinery working the way you want, you let go of your tool with a frustrated sigh, and it lands on the floor with a clatter. Getting up to your feet, you decide to listen in to comm chatter instead, which is something you often do on slow days. Sitting down on a nearby crate, you start flicking between channels. There’s nothing out of the oridnary, until you intercept some Crimson Dawn chatter. They’re apparently about to meet with some Pykes for a deal, but bringing more people and blasters than was previously agreed upon. You don’t catch the whole message though, as there’s some interference. 

You’re about to contact the Pyke that left earlier with the group to warn them of a possible ambush, but as you’re adjusting your instruments, you find that someone else is listening in, and you isolate the frequency. It’s quite tricky though, they seem to know what they’re doing. But you’re not being careful enough, you think to yourself with a mischievous smile. It’s quick to disappear though when you manage to clean it up and see the number on your display. Your breath involuntarily hitches as you read it again, digit by digit. It’s not only a familiar code, but also one that you know by heart.

If he is listening in, then there must be more to it. Since there’s not much else for you to do right now, you decide to go check it out. Hopping onto your own modified speeder, you’re sure you’ll make it in time, as with this one you can go much faster than the other ones who left earlier. 

“C’mon Nugs,” you call out to your massiff, and he eagerly hops into the extra pod attached to the back of your seat. 

Revving up your engine, you head out, checking the dots on your holomap. After all, a good mechanic always puts a tracker on all their vehicles, lest they get stolen and you can’t recover the parts. Also, this particular guy happens to be on Gorak’s list of people to keep a closer eye on. 

You follow the dot until it doesn’t move anymore, and find yourself southwest of the workshop on a hill. You park a little farther away and get off the speeder.

”Stay close and low,” you command your massiff, and he grunts in acknowledgement, falling in behind you, lowering his body as much as his legs would allow while still walking.

Approaching a row of boulders, you hide behind them, already hearing some voices. You peek from around the rocky wall, and quickly scan the scene in front of you: the group of Pykes you saw earlier are here now, weapons in hand, as they stand in front of some Crimson Dawn people.

From the side, Kay Vess approaches, followed by…

Your heart skips several beats at the sight, and you don’t even hear what the conversation is, as your whole focus is on ND-5, whom you were sure you’d never see again. 

“Typical Pykes!” one of the Crimson Dawn says suddenly, grabbing her blaster from the holster. “You’re trying to double deal!”

Before you can even process it, a shootout starts. It’s an all against all, and as you fully hide again behind the rock, you weigh out your options. It’s like you’re glued to the ground, unable to move. It doesn't take long until it’s over though, and you peek from around your hiding place again.

“Okay, wasn’t expecting them all to try and kill us,” Kay says as she puts her blaster away, then turns to ND-5. “Thanks for the help.”

“If you died, Jaylen would be mad,” he replies matter-of-factly. Of course it’s still Jaylen pulling the strings, you think and bitterly smile to yourself. “Now let’s go get the bivalve Danka wants.”

You watch as they check the speeders, and Kay seems to have found a message that someone explicitly said to not bring the clam to the meeting place. ND-5 suggests going to the Pyke chop shop to check if they left the thing there, as that’s probably where they came from. He inspects one of the speeders and stares perhaps a second too long at the welding on the handlebar. In your heart, you wonder if he might have recognised your handiwork. And if he did… how did he feel about it?

Taking one more look around with a sigh, Kay says she’ll go to the workshop to find the aforementioned clam, and ND-5 agrees, saying he will stay back to take care of the mess and the speeders.

This might as well be your cue, then. Coming out of your hiding spot, you make yourself known, Nugs at your side.

”If you try to infiltrate the workshop you’ll get yourself killed, Kay,” you remark, and both of them turn to you in suprise at someone else’s presence, both of them reaching for their blasters. You stop in your tracks, raising your hands in surrender. “Whatever it is you’re looking for, I can get it for you.”

ND-5 calls your name as if the word just occurred to him after a long time, and your chest tightens in slight pain as you realise how much you’ve missed the way your name sounds in his voice. You and the droid look at each other for a long, silent moment, Kay’s eyes going from on to the other and back. 

“Hey ND. It’s been a while,” you say, the shudder in your voice impossible to hide. Involuntarily you bring your hand over your chest, feeling the necklace under your shirt. One of the charms on the chain is the Pyke insignia you showed Kay, but the other one is a piece of ND-5’s. 

» 2 years ago «

Jaylen found you and hired you for a job, which went really well, so you hung around with them for a little more as they could still use you, and you got a decent pay. In that time, ND and you got closer, and you found yourself completely smitten with the droid.

ND and you get sent to a stake-out. It’s gonna take an hour or so until the person you need arrives, but you had to get there early as the place would soon be swarmed by the target’s hired guns, and getting in after that would be very difficult if not nearly impossible. 

So you hide in a rundown attic of an abanoned house where a trade-off would take place. You're here for both the equipment being sold as well as a keycard that the target always has on his person. One of the walls in the attic has completely crumbled, so you hide in one corner of the rather small room, the light flooding in, soon to be gone as the day comes to an end.

Nugs lies with his head on your lap, and you absentmindedly pet his scaly head. With your head leaning back onto the wall, you sigh, knowing that the wait is the most boring part of any mission. Turning to ND who’s sitting next to you, you find him already looking at you, and you can’t help the heat prickling at your cheeks. You don’t look away though, your eyes scanning his metal face, then travelling down to his chest. He’s had that scar ever since you met. He hasn’t told you what caused it, and refused your offer to repair it every time. He wears the big coat (who knows where he got that from) to hide some of his battle damage, but the scar on his chest he seems to wear with pride, almost. Right next to it is, of course, the ever present restraining bolt. You frown.

”What,” he says.

”What, what?” you retort. 

“You’re staring.” 

“So are you?” you answer with a cheeky smile. ND holds your gaze one more second, then looks away, his sight falling onto your hand, scatching Nugs’s head. 

You remember how distrustful Nugs was of ND at the start, understanding that the droid was autonomous, but there was something different about him. And who knows what he smelled on that coat. Maybe a previous owner? Their pet? 

“You know, he’s warmed up to you quite nicely now,” you say, smiling to yourself. You take ND’s hand in yours without really thinking anything of it, placing it on Nugs’s head, whose big head still lies on your lap, snoozing happily. At the change of pressure, he opens one eye to look up, then closes it again with a content huff.

Slowly, ND starts moving his hand back and forth, as he’s seen you do many times, and knows that’s how Nugs likes it. You weren’t really expecting ND to give in like that. Sure, he never shoos Nugs away, but he hasn’t ever particulary shown interest in befriending the massiff either. So your brows rise slightly in suprise, and you look up at ND. 

“So, how does it feel?” you ask him after a moment. 

“How does what feel?” He lifts his head to look at you, hand still gently moving over the scaly skin.

”A massiff,” you clarify, tilting your head a bit as this is something you’ve been wondering for a while now. “I mean, how can you feel? Do you feel? Tactile things, that is.” You also bring your hand to Nugs, letting your fingertips travel from the snout to the muscular neck. “I can feel how thick his skin is, the little bumps, the scales, the spikes. Can you also perceive things like that through touch?” 

“It’s more visual information than tactile, I suppose,” he answers. “I do perceive changes of pressure, translating into the general shape of something. But I cannot perceive textures to the extent human fingertips can.” 

You hum, biting the inside of your cheek.

”That’s kind of sad. There’s so much you’re missing out on,” you say, looking up at him. “Maybe I can describe something to you?”

”Like what?” 

You know he’s just humouring you at this point, since there’s not much else to do while you two wait for the target to arrive. Taking a quick look over your shoulder through the opening in the wall, you see that there’s more henchmen than there were when you first arrived, but you’re both still out of view, and the sunlight has disappeared almost entirely behind the horizon. 

Scanning the room, you know that if you stand up to get some of the junk scattered around or send Nugs to retrieve it, there’s a chance people outside will see you. So you settle on what’s right next to you.

“You, for example,” you say, bringing both your hands to his chest and closing your eyes. Your fingers trace the edges of his chest, sliding down to the pieces that make up his abdomen. “The metal is hard but not entirely smooth, I can feel the ridges where the different sections interlock, and there’s small scratches all over, which I probably can’t even really see.” Your hands travel further down, coming to a stop right above his hip, and you feel ND straighten up ever so slighlty. Your hands run his body back up. “You’d think you’d be cold to the touch, but you’re not as icy as I thought. I can also feel the faintest vibrations from your core processor all over.” Your hands land back on his chest, over his scar. “Almost like you have a heartbeat.” 

One of your hands moves to the side, tracing over the restraining bolt, and ND’s hand immediately shoots up to grab your forearm, pushing you away. Nugs’ head perks up at the sudden movement, carefully eyeing the droid’s grip, but you place your free hand on his head to reassure him. 

“Stop–“ ND sounds like he wants to say something different, but the next words come out monotonous, like he’s just repeating a memorised phrase. “You know I can’t allow anyone near the bolt. If you try to tamper with it, I will have to terminate you.” 

You smile rather sadly, retrieving your hand as he lets go of you. 

“Right, sorry,” you mutter, then heave a sigh. In a small voice, you ask, “Don’t you wonder though?”

”About what?” ND asks after a moment, signaling that he’s giving you a chance to change the topic. But you don’t.

”About what you’d do, be able to do, if you didn’t have that,” you explain, pointing at the offending round piece of metal. 

“There is no wondering,” he says. “Only the current state of things and Jaylen’s orders.” 

Another silence. 

You’re about to ask if he wants to try to describe something to you this time, when you hear a commotion outside. Carefully getting up to your knees, you peek around the broken wall. It seems the target is about to arrive, so all three of you get into position to sneak out of your hiding place. 

The mission itself goes smoothly, you manage to retrieve what you need with almost no collateral damage, except for a handful of guards you had to take out. It’s only when you’re already escaping the area that you come across a henchman that was positioned a little further away. The Trandoshan is several heads taller than you, and built like a wardrobe. You didn’t see him, as he appeared from behind a nook in the cavern-like tunnel you had to cross to get away. With a vibroblade in his hand, he swings to stab you, and before you can even react and dodge, ND-5 positions himself between you and the aggressor, the blade hitting his back and getting lodged in it. You can hear the man’s screams as Nugs bites into his leg. ND pushes you back by your shoulders, then quickly turns around and in one swift move draws his blaster, hitting the trandoshan right in the heart. A trail of smoke comes out of his gun as the now dead man falls on the ground with a thud. The massiff only lets go when you command him to. 

“ND, the knife!” you say as you turn towards the droid, trying to reach up to pull out the blade from his body, but ND claims there’s no time, seeing as a horde of now very angry bandits, who realised their ware is missing, are coming towards you with their weapons drawn. So ND pushes you in front of him and all three of you make a hasty exit on your speeders.

It’s only when you’re back on the ship that you finally get the droid to sit down and let you look. It takes some effort, but you manage to dislodge the knife. The green fabric now has a hole, which you can sew, so that’s not the problem here. You push down his coat, over his shoulders and half-way down his arms to examine the damage, getting some of your tools together.

”Well, you’re lucky the knife didn’t get any of your vital systems,” you announce. “It looks like it cut into your back and then pushed outwards, so there’s this almost loose piece of metal. I think it’s better if I just cut it off and weld it closed with a new piece, it’s too bent to properly put it back in place.” 

ND lets you do your thing, talking to Jaylen on the holo while you work, reporting back to him about the mission. You’re not really listening as you focus on patching ND back up. Just as you said, you cut off the piece of bent metal, no bigger than a coin, and put it aside. Looking through the pile of spare pieces of metal scavenged all around the galaxy you keep for repairs, you choose an appropriate piece, using it to patch the hole in ND’s back, welding it all together. It’s only after you take off your protective visor and examine your handiwork that you realise it’s vaguely heart-shaped, and you have to bite back the silly grin threatening to sperad on your face, which jaylen would be able to see from where you stand. Picking up the shard that came off, a piece of original Clone Wars era bodywork if you will, you examine it in your hand, turning it around, and lo and behold, it also looks a little heart-shaped. Unable to help yourself, you put it into your pocket. 

After the conversation with Jaylen is over and ND is on his feet again, he moves to the cockpit to enter the coordinates for the meeting place, but you stop him before he can do so. 

“Hey ND,” you start, and from where he sits on the pilot seat, he looks over to you. “You saved my life today.”

”I have on several occasions,” he retorts, and you chuckle. 

“I know, you really have,” you say thinking back to all the missions where he had indeed saved your bacon more than once. “But you never got actually hurt like today. You didn’t have to use yourself as a shield, you know.”

”Jaylen’s orders are to keep you alive. We don’t have a medic but we do have a mechanic, so this was the best course of action.” 

“Yeah, well, still,” you say, placing your hand over his. “Thank you. Really.” 

“Any time,” he says, and you feel like it sounds suprisingly genuine. 

Your trip through memory lane is cut short by the sting of pain in your heart. Yes, you’ve been wearing that piece of metal on your necklace as a way to remember ND. In your delusion, you thought that maybe that would leave you two connected, the charm and his matching welded patch. Maybe you’d be able to remove his restraining bolt, then you could tell him how you really felt. But that never happened. 

“So, you two know each other?” Kay asks, looking back and forth between the two of you. 

“Yes,” ND answers, quickly mentioning how in the past you’ve worked with him and Jaylen for a short time. 

“Huh, it sure is a small galaxy,” Kay says, still eyeing ND supsiciously, then turning to you. “Either way, you said you can get the clam?” 

“If it’s at the workshop, I can get it, yes,” you reply, crossing your arms over your chest with a playful smile. “But you already know: nothing comes for free.” 

“Right,” Kay sighs, scratching the back of her neck, then placing her hands on her hips. “How much?” 

You shake your head.

”Not credits,” you say, and she rises a brow in confusion. “I want in.” 

— — —

After retrieving the clam, Kay and ND bring you to the Trailblazer. You whistle at the sight of the ship.

”Damn,” you say, taking her in in all her glory as you stand outside. “What a beauty. I can’t believe Waka isn’t already all over her, he’d love to work on this one for sure.” 

Kay looks to the side as Nix chirps softly. You turn to her. 

“Waka did work on the Trailblazer,” she starts. “He’s actually the one that got her to fly. But he’s, uh, dead now.” 

“Oh”, you simply say, contemplatig that for a moment. “Well, he had it coming I guess. Too bad though, the guy really was good at this. Would have loved to learn a couple more things from him.” 

With that, you enter the ship, quickly examining the inside, mainly the workbench. You can tell this was once the ship of someone well off, given the wooden floors in the sleeping and lounge areas, the full kitchen, and the big couch by the window. 

ND calls everyone into the cockpit, where Jaylen is already on the holo.

”We picked someone up that wasn’t planned,” ND reports, taking a step to the side to let Jaylen see you. You give a nod of acknoledgement as he greets you in his usual, slightly fake-charming way; Jaylen and you never really saw eye to eye, and you mainly just stayed with them for ND, in the hopes of being able to free him from his “owner”. ND continues, “I think it would be wise to have a skilled mechanic around. The connections to the Pykes might also prove useful.” 

“What’s the score anyways?” you ask, trying to not let ND’s comment affect you too much, both his calling you skilled and the fact that he’s the one suggesting to keep you around. Jaylen goes on to tell you about Sliro’s vault and the hundred millions worth of unmasked beskar plates. At that, you perk up. “Beskar? You know I’ve been trying to get my hands on some forever.”

And it’s true, you’ve always been interested in working with the Mandalorian metal, but especially after the indcident with ND and the vibroblade, you’d joke around that one day if you found enough beskar, you’d redo his whole exterior, and he’d be virtually indestructible. Except that you were completely serious. And now there’s a chance you might be able to do it. As for ND, he never agreed but he also never denied your proposition. So that’s still a “maybe”, right?

“I’m definitely in,” you announce, looking up at ND with a smile, happy that you get to spend time with the droid again after being apart for so long, promising to yourself that this time, you’d get that bolt off of him or die trying. He looks back at you, his chin tilting up ever so slightly as if he was about to say something, but nothing comes out. His head turns back to Jaylen, then he steps away.

After ending the holo call with Jaylen, Kay brings you up to speed regarding the other contracts and jobs she’s currently in, and she says it’s time to meet with Danka to hand her the clam you swiped earlier from the Pykes. Initially, only Kay and ND were going to go, but you tag along, “just in case” you said. But you know why you’re here. 

Making your way to the bar in Jaunta’s hope, ND warns Kay about not trusting Danka. Whatever VIP room she’s waiting in, droids aren’t allowed, so you wait with ND in one of the booths while Kay goes in to finish the deal.

“So, how have you been?” you ask him, scooting into the seat, with Nugs next to you and ND on the other side of the table, facing you. He’s leaning forward slightly, elbows on the table. 

“Normal,” he retorts. “Why would I have been anything else?” 

“It’s called smalltalk,” you say, leaning your chin on your hands as you look at him perhaps a little too lovestruck. Oh, how you’ve missed this banter. “Especially after not seeing each other for quite some time.”

Given his lack of response, you lean back up into your seat with a smile.

”This is the moment where you ask me back.”

He tilts his head ever so slightly. 

“How… have you been?” he asks. 

”It’s been a pretty wild ride, but I’ve been well all things considered,” you answer, pausing for a moment. “I did miss you, though.” 

ND looks down at the table between you two. He doesn’t answer, and for a moment you're scared he’ll get up and leave, or scold you, but instead, he looks back up to you. The red light of his core blinks out of rhythm a couple of times through the scar in his chest, and once again he looks like he wants to say something, but can’t. You look down at the restraining bolt. If you remove it, will he finally be able to speak freely? 

Feeling bold, you grab your necklace from under your shirt once more, this time to show him the piece of metal. 

“Remember the vibroblade incident?” you ask.

“You still have that?” he sounds genuinely surprised, and you shrug slightly. 

“It felt like I could keep you near me this way,” you say in a small voice, suddenly embarrassed at the prospect of someone else at the bar hearing you telling a droid how you felt about him. “I never stopped thinking about you, you know.” 

Unable to keep looking at him, you put the necklace away again, your gaze falling on your hands on the table. To your surprise, ND’s hand inches closer to yours ever so slightly. His servos seem to lock and unlock several times, and it takes him a couple of tries to do so, like he has to make an exceptional effort. But eventually he manages to bring his hand over yours, and a swarm of butterflies explodes in your gut, warmth spreading through your chest and limbs all the way to your fingertips, now covered by his metallic hand. You lift your gaze to look at ND, and he gives the subtlest of nods. I missed you too, he’s trying to say. Or at least you hope. But that’s what you’re getting from him right now. Holding his one hand with both of yours, you nod back, your eyes once more falling to the restraining bolt on his chest. 

“You’ve saved me so many times,” you say, barely audible. “Now it’s my turn to save you.”

LITTLE THINGS

(requested by @angelicshinigami ) word count : 2 453 summary : Reader has a bad social anxiety and Kai helps her out of her shell. (I made a few slight changes … hope you like it tho..) *not my gif ______________________ Kai walked upstairs. He had no idea why the Salvatore’s had invited him to that party since they didn’t like him. He had asked Damon this to which he had answered : “To bury the hatchet.” God knew it was an enormous hatchet , hard to bury with just one party but Kai couldn’t shake the feeling there had to be some other reason. Kai didn’t feel like spending time with a bunch of  strangers downstairs and Damon had said the floor upstairs is off limits which only made him want to see whats upstairs more. Most of the doors were locked , except one…         “It’s your birthday.We are throwing you a party and you are coming. It can’t be your birthday party without you there..” Stefan had said , poking her in the stomach playfully.       “I don’t want a party, Stefan. You know how I feel around large groups of people … ” she muttered to her best friend.    "Trust me about this one. Okay ?“    "Okay …” she had agreed. The party itself was fun , there was music and her friends had made sure to have all her favorite snacks and drinks but each of them had also invited someone who had invited another someone and so on. Things had gone out of hand and when she had stepped inside the house expecting only a couple of people to be there and seen so many people some of which she didn’t even know … her anxiety had kicked in. Stefan had helped her upstairs because she had felt nautious , dizzy and was afraid she might pass out. In the end she had stayed in her room most of the evening unable to untie the knot in her stomach. It had been fine until she heard footsteps down the hall and a moment later the person she least expected to come through the door did.Kai pushed the door open carefully not wanting to scare whoever it was in there. There was no doubt there was someone inside - he could hear someone breathing and a heart racing fast. “Oh hello.” he said smirking , leaning against the door frame. Y/N was sitting on the floor next to the bed , a plastic cup standing next to her. She looked startled at first , then got up and quickly headed for the door. Kai blocked it. Y/N kept looking at her shoes , taking a step to the left then to the right trying to find a way out. “Don’t be scared. I’m not going to hurt you…” he said putting his hands in his pockets. “Why are you hiding up here ? The fun is downstairs … or so I’ve been told.” he trailed off. “I .. I don’t .. I don’t like being around lar-ge groups of p-people.” she mumbled. Kai grinned. “We have something in common.” he said , lifting her chin up making her look at him. “Come on , Y/N. Don’t tell me you are scared of spending a few minutes alone with the big bad heretic.” He couldn’t tear his eyes off her and could swear the corners of her mouth twitched a little at his last words. “I’m .. I’m n-not scared.” she mumbled , taking a step back from him her gaze falling to the ground again. In that moment it hit him why the Salvatore’s had invited him. It hadn’t been because they wanted to ‘bury the hatchet’ as Damon had said , it had been because of her , why else would Damon specifically forbid him from going upstairs. “Then what is it ?” Kai asked curious. Y/N sat down on the floor again , finishing whatever was left inside of her cup and turning it upside down on the floor. She didn’t answer his question. Y/N felt as if she’d pass out again feeling the lightheadedness return. She took a few steps back to her previous spot on the floor and sat down. Kai was nice , well … nice-ish. He had done some awful things but Y/N had never been afraid he’d hurt her , more like her anxiety / shyness that kept her from getting to talk to him and get to know him more. Y/N was always guarded , he had thought maybe she just didn’t like him but now he saw it. He knew that feeling , he had had it many times before specially after he got out of the 1994 Prison World. Kai pushed himself off the door and sat on the floor opposite her trying to catch her gaze. “Oh-kay. If you don’t want to talk , don’t talk.” Kai reached inside his pocket pulling his phone out. “Do you want to see some really embarrassingpictures of me as a kid ? Weird how some of them had survived after all these years. I thought my father had erased all trace of my existence but I went back to Portland before the wedding and there was a whole box with them in the attic.” he said amused , opening the gallery on his phone showing it to her , hoping to get her to relax. “I haven’t shown these to anyone .. and in case you are wondering - I won’t be mad if you laugh. Ohh look - it’s me and my sister in one of those awful matching Christmas sweaters… and here is baby me.” Kai kept talking , his finger swishing across the screen switching picture after picture pointing and laughing. “Am I annoying you ? Damon says I talk too much… ” he said , leaving his phone on the floor next to him. “No.” Y/N said quietly. “I’m … I’m just … I g-get nervous arou-nd people.” “You have a lovely voice.” he said not taking his eyes off her. He wanted to get her to smile , to talk to him. “And you don’t have to be nervous around me. I get it. … Hey , do you want to hear the story of how I accidentally set my room on fire when I was 14 ? It was hilarious , I had siphoned some magic - accidentally of course…” Y/N glanced at him for a second before looking away not believing him for a second. With Kai there were rarely any accidents. “… and tried to light up a few candles , but instead the curtains caught on fire and Jo ran into the room to see what all the smoke was about…” he trailed off noticing her eyes on him. “..and then my father came in , I cloaked my self in a second flash , of course. The look on his face though - ” Kai imitated his father’s face - eyes wide , hands on his head pulling at his hair ,  his mouth semi open in shock  … and then he started laughing. Y/N broke into laughter too. “There it is.” Kai said smiling. “That smile … ” he reached pinching her cheek gently ,  Y/N pulled away. “Sorry , I didn’t meant to over step …” “N-no. It’s o-kay. May I ?” she said pointing to his phone. “I kind of want to see those pictures …” Kai moved to sit next to her , handing her his phone their hands touching for a split second. Y/N unlocked the screen - some nature shot - and opened the gallery. Kai didn’t even look nervous as most people would if someone else is scrolling through their phone. There weren’t many pictures , maybe 20 or 30 and a part of her was flattered he was letting her see them , the other part was terrified she’d get another anxiety attack and scare him off. “Awwh … you were so cute back then!” Y/N said switching pictures of Kai when he was maybe 7 or 8 years old. Kai stared at her accusatory. “Back then ? Erhm hellooo ?!” he said pointing at his face. “Don’t you see this face?!” Y/N laughed at his shocked expression. “I said you were cute back then , now you are kind of … I don’t know. Hot ?” Kai laughed a little at her comment happy to hear her laugh. She switched to another picture , a 6 year old Kai with missing front tooth smiling and holding a hand turkey drawing. His hair had been a little bit longer and absolutely messy. He looked happy , genuinely happy. This must’ve been taken before his parents found out he was a siphon. she thought. Y/N couldn’t help but smile. She turned towards Kai who hadn’t taken his eyes off her. “You know … Your family made a mistake treating you the way they did. You are actu-ally quite awesome and kind… even if you build walls to protect yourself and let everyone think you’re not a good person.” she said giving him back his phone. “What about you?” he asked curious studying her face. “I know it’s your birthday… You should be down there celebrating with your friends instead of here with me.” “Yeah … n-no.” she said her gaze falling on the ground again.“N-not with .. all these people. I don’t even k-know half of them.” All of the sudden she felt her anxiety try to make a comeback. It was one thing spending time with Kai and her friends , but around other people … Kai felt he had pushed it a bit far and wanted to fix it. Y/N was nice , loving when she lets go. He looked around the room an idea forming in his mind.. but what he needed was missing. “Stay here. I’ll be right back.” he said whooshing out of the room. He sneaked into the kitchen , snatching a cupcake from the counter , checked a few of the drawers finding the birthday candles , noticing a second later that Stefan was starring at him. “What are you doing … exactly?” Stefan asked curious. Kai grinned. “Wouldn’t you like to know… ” A second later he was gone , picking up one last thing on his way back up. He sneaked a peek into the room - Y/N was right where he had left her. Kai used his magic , dulling the light inside a little making her turn towards him with a confused expression on her face. “Close your eyes.” he said. Y/N tilted her head slightly but did as asked. “I don’t like surprises …” she muttered. Kai walked towards her , sitting on the floor opposite her. “Trust me , this one you will like.” He carefully pushed a birthday candle on top of the cupcake , hiding his other surprise behind his back. “Ready ?” Y/N nodded. “Open your eyes.” he said. Y/N opened her eyes slowly , taking a peek at first and her eyes widened a little. Kai was holding the chocolate cupcake in the palm of his hand , closed his eyes for a second lighting up the candle with magic. “It’s not a birthday cake , I couldn’t sneak it upstairs even if I tried. Damon would kill me on the spot. ” he laughed nervously. “ … but , it’s your birthday and you have to blow a candle and make a wish.” The “big bad scary” heretic… she thought with a smile , closing her eyes and making a wish , wishing her anxiety away at least for a day. Kai couldn’t explain to himself why he cared so much.  He had never done anything like that for anyone before , but the more they talked the more he realised he wanted to be her friend… if only he could get her to open up somehow. He reached behind his back pulling out a dried rose.  He spun the flower stalk in his hands muttering a spell , bringing the flower back to life. The look on Y/N’s face was a complete awe. “Happy birthday !” he said giving it to her. “Thank you.” she said with a shy smile. “Why are you being so nice to me ?” she asked twirling the rose in her hands , bringing it to her nose taking in its scent closing her eyes for a second. *click* A camera sound made her look up.   ‘Woww’ Kai mouthed looking at the picture he had just taken. “Kai ! What … No.” she shook her head covering her face with her hands looking at him through cracks in between her fingers. Kai was making funny faces , squishing his cheeks  , sticking his tongue out , putting his hands on his head waving his fingers. “Who knew you were such a goofball.” she said laughing. “Come here , you want pictures ? Let’s take pictures.” Kai smiled and scooted over to her , Y/N snatching his phone from his hands. He blew his cheeks while she stuck her tongue out. *click* He put his arm around her shoulder pinching her cheek while she looked surprised. *click* She surprised him with a kiss on the cheek , snapping a picture. “I like you , you are fun… Hey maybe we can be friends ? It would annoy the hell out of Damon and that would be a nice bonus.”  he said amused. “Shut up.” she said playfully punching his shoulder. They kept on taking pictures , playing with different filters and somehow without realising it , her anxiety had gone away. Kai heard someone coming up the stairs and glanced at the door right in time to see a Salvatore standing at the door. “Kai … I thought I told you not to come up here.” Damon said starring at Kai and Y/N sitting on the floor about to take another selfie. “Uh-oh … the party police is here.” she burst into laughter. “Relax, Damon … we were just talking.” “Yeah … ” Damon said pulling out his phone. “I can see you 'just talking’ … in like 15 selfies on Instagram and … what’s up with those filters on Snapchat ?” Kai grinned. “Did you see the puppy filter ? It’s hilarious !” “Can I talk to our frenemy here for a moment ?” Damon asked motioning for Kai to follow him. Kai reluctantly followed him outside and Damon pinned him to the wall his hand wrapped around his neck. “Wow , relax Damon. We were just talking … I’m not planing on hurting her if that’s what you are worried about. In fact I kind of like her.” Kai said pushing him off. “That’s whats worrying me twirp…” Y/N showed up at the door a second later , poking Kai with her finger , a small smile on her face. “So .. where’s my birthday cake ?” she asked Damon , who looked back and forth between Y/N and Kai. In the end he and Stefan had had the right idea with inviting Kai over. “It’s um … it’s downstairs… We can bring it up here if you want ? I know things got a little out of control with the amount of people down there…” Damon said. Y/N shook her head slightly , grabbing Kai’s hand who looked surprised for a moment and then a small smile showed on his face. “I-I think I’ll be fine … as long as he gets to stay… unharmed. Think of it as a birthday present.” she said.
