Mushy May in Lucifer's Hollow: Day 11 - Gift Giving

Mountain x Rain

This fic is set in an alternate universe in a town called Lucifer's Hollow. It's sort of like a Satanic version of a Hallmark town. For Mushy May I'll be using the prompts to post little snippets of life for the humans and ghouls that live there 💙 Thank you to @forlorn-crows for putting Mushy May together!

~ In Lucifer's Hollow Mountain has a little farm and sells flowers at the local farmer's market. Rain meets him there while selling his art. ~

Warnings: fluff, sappiness, sfw, 800 words (thank you to @ghuleh-recs for the dividers)

“Are we there yet?”

“Not yet.  Patience, duckweed.”  Mountain laughed when Rain let out a little huff.  He was in the passenger seat, pouting and blindfolded while Mountain took him to a surprise he had in store.  “We’re almost there.”

“Why couldn’t you have given it to me at my place?”

“Because it’s at my place and,”  He reached out and tapped the tip of Rain’s nose, jerking his hand away when the water ghoul tried to nip it.  “You were coming over tonight anyway.”

Rain didn’t respond but Mountain could see a little pink staining his cheeks.  The truth was Rain had been staying over practically every night and Mountain didn’t have a single problem with it.  If he had his way, Rain would never leave the farmhouse.  On the rare nights they weren’t together Mountain had trouble sleeping without Rain curled up against his side.  

It was really too soon to even think about it but Mountain wanted Rain there permanently.  He wanted to wake up to him every morning and have him in his arms every night.  They just fit together and even in the moments where they’ve had disagreements they’ve been respectful.  Everything about them worked and was perfect and Mountain had decided to take the first steps to get Rain to move in.

Which is where the gift came in.

When they got there Rain had impatiently jumped out of the truck, Mountain jogging over to his side to take his hands.  There was some laughter as Mountain led him inside.  Possibly a few times he purposefully knocked him into something just to mess with him.  Thankfully at the point Rain’s nose was doing that adorable scrunched up thing it did when he was angry they finally got to their destination.

“Alright.  You ready?”  When Rain nodded he gently tugged the blindfold off and let Rain take it in.  “Ta da!”

Rain was silent as he looked around the room, his room now if he wanted.  The sunroom had always been the one room Mountain hadn’t done much with.  It ended up being an extra greenhouse for him for the most part but after finishing the expansion on his actual greenhouse a month ago he had been able to clear things up.  He had been debating on its uses when he had seen Rain putting his easel outside one morning.  

“I don’t…”  Rain took a few steps forward, his eyes first entranced by all the light coming in through the windows.  He paused in front of the easel Mountain had made for him, complete with the fanciest chair he could find in Lucifer’s Hollow.  “What’s happening?”

“Well, I was able to clear out the plants,”  He gave Rain a sheepish smile when the ghoul looked at the handful of plants hanging from the ceiling and sitting in various corners.  “Some of the plants.  And I’ve noticed you’ve been painting outside a lot so I started thinking that a space with a lot of light would be perfect.”

“So, I’m supposed to paint in here?”

Mountain was starting to get a sinking feeling but he pressed on.  Maybe Rain wasn’t on the same page as him but Mountain wasn’t going to shy away from how he was feeling.

“Yes.  If you want to.”  He walked up to Rain, relieved when the water ghoul didn’t move.  “I made you the easel and Aurora helped me pick out some other supplies for you.”

“You made this?”  Rain’s eyes widened when Mountain nodded and he pulled away to run his fingers across the smooth wood.  “You made this for me?”

“It’s all for you, duckweed.”  Fuck it, he was gonna lay everything out right now.  “The room.  The farmhouse.  Me.”

“Mountain…”

“I love you and I want you here all the time.  I want to deal with you being crabby as hell before you get coffee.”  He ignored Rain’s indignant ‘hey!’ and continued,  “I want to find drops of paint everywhere.  I want to see you chasing the goats around when they get out.  But most of all Rain, I want you here.  With me.”

“I have never been crabby a day in my life.”

“You’re right, I’m sorry.”

“Mountain, this is just,”  When Rain turned away a cold feeling started to creep through his chest.  It was too soon, he was going to scare Rain off.  He was going to scare away the greatest thing that had ever hap–  “Okay.”

“What?”  

“I said…okay.  As in, yes I’ll accept your easel and your sunroom.”  Rain walked up to Mountain and wrapped his arms around the earth ghoul’s waist.  “I’ll also take everything else.”

“Even me?”

Rain smiled, rising up on his toes to give Mountain a soft kiss.  One that was full of so much promise and love that Mountain wanted to say a thousand prayers to the Olde One in thanks.

“Especially you.”
