Toxic Love | Erik Killmonger

Chapter 5: ~Don't Go Out Looking Like That~

For Chapter 4: ~Little Minx~ click here.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"You better go look for some lingerie too~" The man casually appeared behind her again and reached around her body to grab a red apple.

~~~

She watched him from over her shoulder and twisted around on her barstool to face him.

'Wrong move', she thought as her body began to urge for him, wanting to reach out, touch him, hold him, whatever to stop the need for contact.

Luckily, She managed to keep her hands restrained just in time though and pulled her gaze away from him. She would've loved to get close to him now he was in his human form again, but her mind kept wandering back to what he had said, talking about her being too worn out for him or some shit. That it could kill her too if he wasn't careful with her, so keeping her distant for a bit longer felt like a smart call to her.

"Why? Can't you just imagine it and snap it on me in my dreams?" She shrugged cluelessly and watched the man take a large bite out of the red apple. "I bet you're that powerful."

"I like it more when you're awake and I can rip it off of you for real~." He growled and grabbed her throat in a delicious manner. "And if you think that's power, oh girl, I have some surprises for you."

"I think I'm a little done with surprises and all." She grabbed his wrist when he started to squeeze her throat gently, fighting to give in. "Why don't you just start telling me who you really are?" Her lower back was painfully pressing into the counter and he noticed the discomfort, letting go again. "That's something I would like to know."

"Where's the fun in that, little mama~?" He simply shrugged and raised his brow in a challenging, playful way as he took another big bite out of the apple. He only did so to flash his fangs to her and she would shut up about it.

"Never mind." She sighed and took a long sip from her bottle of water. "I don't even care, just please don't show up at my shopping spree and ruin it though." She carefully pressed the cold bottle gently against her neck to ease the burning feeling he somehow had left behind on her skin.

"I can't promise that, ma." He stroked a piece of her curly hair out of her face. "I can't stay away from my women for too long, especially if they're special to me."

"It's the fact you're not human that makes you less of a creep, you know that? If you were a normal man talking to me like this I would've punched you in the face by now."

"Hell~ I love the attitude you've gotten ever since I took control, girl." He smirked and finished the apple, not minding what she had said to him one bit.

"Are you even listening to what I'm saying?" She rolled her eyes and the man simply hummed in response, holding her hips tightly as he looked her over one more time before he vanished in thin air again.

"Who were you talking to?" One of the younger maidens made her way to the kitchen, smiling sweetly as usual.

If Delaney had to pick a favorite maiden it would've definitely been Kamari.

Kamari was the youngest of the four maidens and closest to Delaney's age so they naturally already clicked better than the older women, but what made them click the most was their similar fashion sense. Kam and Delaney loved helping each other out with their fashion and looks and together they always did some extreme online shopping whenever her father didn't pay any attention.

"Reyna." She held up her phone casually. "I'm going shopping on my own for once."

"Really?!" She giggled and made small jumps of excitement. "Can I come?"

"Yeah, of course." Delaney smiled too and put her phone flat down on the marble counter again. "The chauffeur will be here in 30 minutes, is that enough time for you to change?" She knew it was for herself, but she wanted to give Kamari some time too and she didn't mind delaying the chauffeur.

"Yeah, that's enough." She nodded happily and rushed upstairs just as fast as she had showed up, really wanting to go shopping with the girls alone for once.

Online shopping was becoming boring and shopping with guards all over the place restricted them from actually buying what they wanted so she was so excited for this day out.

It took Kamari exactly 28 minutes to have her outfit styled and on, soft make-up look done and her straight black hair in a bun. She looked cute in her baby pink tennis skirt and her matching butterfly top, matching pink shoes and lipstick as well to finish the look too.

"Look at you." Delaney smiled.

She always loved her soft pink cotton aesthetic, it really complimented her skin.

"Yeah? Looks okay?"

"Looks fantastic." She laughed. "Now I feel underdressed."

You're not underdressed, mama~.

"Underdressed~? Girl, you look like a fucking queen each time. All you need is a king now~." She smirked a bit, pointing at the white miniskirt with a baby blue crossover halter top that Delaney was wearing. "Why don't we go out after our shopping spree? You're already dressed for a fun night out."

"If Reyna is up for that too, we might." She hummed and smiled, grabbing her blue clutch and holding it to her side. "Ready to go?"

"Ready." Kamari smiled too and followed her into the shining black limousine waiting for them.

It didn't take long for them to reach the stores with the three of them and succeed in picking some new outfits for their already overflowing closet, but when they got to the lingerie shopping which Delaney insisted on, things felt weird to her.

It was as if someone was watching her without actually being there.

Like someone was right behind her breathing into her neck without there actually being any air brushing against her skin.

"Seriously?" She whispered to herself as she checked her body out in the big mirror, already knowing he was there with her. She was trying out the bra of a Bordeaux red lingerie set, leaving the panties to guessing the right size. The bra hugged her breasts and sides perfectly though, but she was still hesitant about buying it. "Ya know what? I don't even mind. Can you help?"

Help? I thought mama didn't want me to show up and ruin her little shopping spree~?

"I know, but since you're already watching anyway, I need some help." She sighed and noticed him appear from the shadows, casually leaning against the wall of the fitting room.

"Help with choosing, aye~?" He smirked and checked her out again, licking his lips. "If it's for me, take it. If it's for some small dick you plan on fucking tonight, don't you dare go out wearing that."

"Would it make you jealous if I did?" She teased softly.

"More than just jealous, kitten. Don't try me." He warned, noticing the mischievous grin appear on her gorgeous face.

"What happens if I do?" She bit her lip and folded her hands behind her back in a cute way, looking up to him innocently.

"Then I won't let you walk around on this earth anymore and that would be a shame. You're too gorgeous to take you down with me."

"Down? You mean Hell?" Her innocent eyes grew wide and she took a step back.

He didn't answer however, all he did was stare at her with a dominant glare. He knew that if he answered, she would start trying to figure out what he was by herself and he knew she would probably succeed in that too. The lead was too big to give away.

"It's up for interpretation, ma." He shrugged and winked at her, trying to ease the bad feeling that formed in her stomach. He didn't need her scared. "Down can mean a lot of things. It's many places."

"Shut it, you're from hell." She stopped him from approaching her, but he gently reached out to her and grabbed her wrist. "I knew it.... you're a demon."

"I'm not." He growled in her ear. "Now relax. Your heart is dangerously speeding up and we don't want it to stop now do we?"

"Is that a threat?" She tried to push him away, but he didn't move an inch.

"It's the truth. I won't harm you, I like you too much for that, just calm down. " He managed to calm her down a little bit by lowering her heart, but he could still feel the slight fear.

"You promise...?" She looked up at him.

"I promise, you're safe with me." He stroked her hair back like he normally did.

"Can you come with me tonight...?" She mumbled.

"Hm? Going out with you? Tonight?" He was a bit surprised, staring down at the woman that not a minute ago was almost having a heart attack by how fast her heart went.

"Show me you can be human.... Just for a night."

"I think I can try that, mama." He hummed, not remembering the last time he really went out there into the real world as a 'human' longer than a few minutes.

"oh no. i think i'm catching feelings"

(this is what i do instead of my very important assignments.

Suggestive near the end, but not descriptive

title from 'sex' by eden)

Freelancer can practically see the steam rushing out of Gavin's ears.

His face is red and his eyes were glaring holes into them. If they didn't know any better, they'd say he was mad at them.

But they saw the way Gavin's lips fought a smile. The corners of them tugging up without his approval, entirely giving away his facade.

They've grown awfully fond of him, and it almost scared them. Almost. No one could really be scared of such beauty, in their humble (and very correct) opinion. And if that didn't convince them, Freelancer would take any and every opportunity explaining how wise, endearing and kind the man in front of them was.

"Are you even listening to me?"

That snapped Freelancer right out of the clouds. They paused for a second, before coming clean.

"Nope. Sorry, handsome."

If Freelancer said Gavin's face managed to get even more red, he would deny it.

"You-" he starts, putting his face in his hands, breathing in and out to calm himself, "I am going to kill you."

If Gavin meant that, he didn't show it. Perhaps one could argue the blushing, smiling and wide eyes filled with adoration were all a ruse to hide his murderous intent. If that was the case, Freelancer had definitely fallen for (him) it.

Unfortunately for Gavin, Freelancer had one last card up their sleeve.

"And what are you going to do, Gavin? Fuck me to death?"

What were they here for again? Magic history tutoring? A movie date? Finishing the leftover pizza and wings they ordered the last time Gavin was over?

It didn't matter anymore, because Gavin was forcing them out of their seat, grabbing their face and kissing them breathless. All while maneuvering the both of them into their bedroom.

When Freelancer took a breath, they were on top of Gavin, legs on either side of his waist, one hand pinning one of his arms down while the other was resting on his chest. They stared at him as they felt his chest falling and rising, his heart beating beneath their touch.

They remembered what that meant, when a demon took the time to form a heart beat with magic. Slowly, they leaned down to kiss his chest, right where a real heart would be if he was human.

They looked up at him, and in their brief eye contact, Freelancer thanked him. For his help with DAMN stuff, for trusting them enough to be this vulnerable with his emotions.

For being in their life.

If Freelancer was asked if they started to cry in that moment, hiding it from Gavin by meeting his lips with their own again, they'd say it was drool.

HOW WOULD THE INCUBI REACT TO YOU FALLING ASLEEP SOMEWHERE RANDOM

Like perhaps the dining table or in the study/library or something hdhdhdhdbs

im alive (resurrected TWICE)

also AWW THIS PROMPT

sweet sweet sweetness today

James: When he walks in and sees you fast asleep in the library near an open book that he’s been reading, his heart melts. You look so peaceful, in your own world. He can’t help but admire your delicate state but then gently carries you up to your room, careful not to wake you. Once you’re tucked in he lays beside you, gazing at your lovely face and falling in love all over again.

Erik: He calls your name but promptly stops after seeing you snoring in the dining room. He can’t help but chuckle, you just look too cute! As quickly as he found you, Erik takes you up to your bedroom and covers you both in blankets. He massages your body, knowing just the right spots to ease. You unconsciously cuddle near him, and he smiles, knowing that he can’t wait to spend the rest of his life with you.

Sam: Sam’s loud stomps can be heard throughout the house, which he doesn’t really care until he finds you fast asleep in the bathtub, the water swaying against your body. His face goes red, embarrassed that he found you like this, but begins to feel calm just looking at you asleep. He stays there for awhile, gazing at your face and thinking about how much he’s in love with you, until you eventually wake up.

Matthew: Matthew stares in shock as he found you gently snoring on the stairs. How sleepy did you get that you couldn’t make it to the bedroom? He disregards this and smiles, seeing how deep you were sleeping. He decides that he’ll join you, putting his head near yours and slowly falling asleep, knowing that the love of his life will be right next to him when he awakes.

Damien: Gentle footsteps echo in the halls, searching for you. Damien goes through every room and feels relief when he finds you in the study, sleeping on top of an open book. He audibly ‘aws’ and finds another chair to accompany you. His hands find his way to your hair, softly caressing it before he too falls asleep, thinking about how adorable you look when you’re sleeping.

Ch.1

comment to be tagged!

synopsis: The boys have never gone to school together, and now that they’re finally in high school, the mothers have agreed to let the boys attend the same high school, giving into their plea’s. Now instead of being homeschooled, the boys will start at public high school and do it together :).

“ Here are your schedules. First period starts in 45 minutes so you can walk around the school. Here’s a pass so the security guards don’t stop you, they’ll know your new here once they see it. Have a good first day and stop by my office at the end of the day!” Ms. Miller stated, the guidance counselor. By the end of it, the boys were already out of her office and standing in the hall.

“ Okay let me see your schedules.” James said, as the boys all handed they’re papers to James.

“ Do we have any classes together?” Matthew asked hopefully. James studied the papers, looking through them all.

“ Erik and I don’t have any classes together.” James said, handing Erik his schedule back. Erik showed a look of sadness as he looked over his schedule.

“ Sam you have physical education and lunch with Matthew.” James said, before Matthew let out a squeak as Sam hit his shoulder.

“ That’ll be fun.” Sam said, taking his schedule back from James.

“ Damien you don’t have any classes with any of us.” James said, before the group grew silent.

“ You’ll be fine. I’m sure the people will be decent.” Matthew said hopefully trying to cheer Damien up.

“ It’s fine I guess. I’ll get through it. I’m considered a Freshman right? That seems to be why.” Damien said, looking over his schedule.

“ Yes. Erik and I are seniors, ‘upperclassmen’ to Damien’s grade level. Sam is a junior and Matthew is a Sophmore.” James explained as he began to look over his own schedule.

“ Well, are we gonna take a look around?” Sam asked as he stared at the school’s trophy case.

“ Seems like you already started.” Erik said, walking past Sam as the group continued to walk down the hall, about to explore the school.

“ Oh shut it pretty boy.” Sam said, following the group.

“ How many floors are there to this school?” Damien asked James, as they walked up the stairs.

“ Six floors, three different buildings. There are two fields, one football field and another soccer field.” James said, as they reached the top floor.

“ What are we up here for?” Matthew asked, as they pushed through the heavy door to see a hallway full of lockers.

“ We’re going to find our lockers.” James said. “ Ms. Miller said our’s should be together, since our mother’s requested so. We can start from up here.” James said, as he looked down to his sheet. His locker number was A452.

“ What floor are we on?” Asked Damien, looking at his schedule.

“ We’re on the fifth floor.” James said, walking along the lockers.

“ Maybe if we just hit them all-“ Sam began, before someone cleared they’re throat. The boys all turned to a small woman, standing near the lockers, holding the door to her classroom open with her foot.

“ Do you boys need help?” She asked, her voice calm. She looked older, in her 60’s maybe. She smiled warmly though, as she walked over to the boys.

“ Uh yes we do miss. We’re trying to find our lockers.” James said, before the small woman nodded and took his paper. She let out a laugh as she looked over his paper.

“ Here’s a little tip. The letter is the building you’re in. The first number next to that letter, is the floor your on.” She said, smiling to them. James felt his eyes widen as he let out a nervous chuckle.

“ That explains so much. Thank you for your help.” Erik said. The small woman nodded smiling at them.

“ My name is Mrs. Wilson if you boys ever need anything. My room is right there so don’t hesitate to ask for anything.” She said smiling, before turning on her heel to leave.

“ So what I got from that” Started Sam, “ Was we’re on the wrong floor.” He said, crossing his arms. James let out a sigh before nodding.

“ Yes Sam, we are on the wrong floor.” James confirmed, before they all began to walk back to the staircase they had came from, getting ready to go look for they’re lockers.

╭─────────╮

“ How the fuck do I open this?” Sam asked, as James was helping Damien open his locker.

“ Sam I told you-“ James began before Sam let out an aggravated huff.

“ I know I know.” He said, before trying it again.

“ Matthew what’s your locker number?” Erik asked, as he finished setting up his locker.

“ A453.” Matthew said, pointing to the locker next to James’s locker.

“Sam let me see your combination.” James said. Sam handed the paper yo James, before looking back at the locker.

“ What?” Sam asked.

“ Sam this isn’t your locker.” James said, before pointing to the locker next to the one Sam had been trying. “ This is your locker.”

Matthew snickered as Damien gave Sam a pat on the back. This was definitely going to be something.

[belladonnadawn]

Happy Halloween!

Spending Halloween with Sakuverse men (Ft. Dontis, Kayson Mayer, Isaac Rhoades, Xanthus Claiborne, Andrew Marston, and Elias) Happy Halloween!

Dontis

Descending down the stairs, his black cape trailed softly. Along with his attire is a poet blouse and black slacks. To top it off, he wore fake plastic fangs. He was very proud of his chosen costume. Incredibly proud.

"What the fuck?" Xanthus looked at him up and down, recognizing his costume.

"What? Did you not like my costume?" Dontis grinned, posing for him.

"No, take it off." Xanthus replied sternly, crossing his arms as he continued to glare at him.

Dontis only smirked, enjoying the irritation in his face. "Straight to the point, I like it." His grin widened at his scoff and eye roll.

Xanthus held back a groan from his teasing, "You know what, just go. Your hunter needs you more than we do."

"Don't miss me!" Dontis chuckled as he heads towards the door.

New Orleans is as lively as ever, the streets were filled with people in costumes, decorations from different establishments, and confetti littered the floor. He made his way through the crowd, greeting "trick or treat" with a smile to others as he passed by. As he arrived at the destination, he made a beeline towards you.

"Happy Halloween!" Dontis greeted with a wide smile.

"Happy Halloween," You replied, raising a drink to him. It felt strange. The man– incubus– that you tied to your basement is now beside you, celebrating a holiday. It was a sudden twist of fate, but you wouldn't have it the other way.

"I'm glad you decided to celebrate this with me," His gaze soft as he turned to you.

You gave him a nod, not wanting to show how flustered and charmed you are towards him, but you know that he can see through you. "I should be the one thankful. I'm sure that you have plenty of ways to spend this occasion."

A hearty laugh escaped his lips, "Please, you're on top of my list when it comes to these occasions. I can't set you aside, especially when you made an effort to dress like a pirate."

You rolled your eyes, "It's nothing. I just put on whatever I can."

"Still, I appreciate your effort." Dontis spoke, planting a soft kiss on your knuckles. Holding his hand out, he looked at you with his charming gaze, "So, are you ready to go trick and treating?"

Kayson Mayer

"Babe, a little help please?" You called him out as you tried to reach the highest point of the wall so you can decorate it. Since it's Halloween, decorating the house became your hobbies whenever you both have spare time.

"Babe?" Your brows furrowed, it never took that long for Kayson to answer to your calls. With a sigh, you put the banner down to find Kayson yourself.

"Kayson, where are you?" You continued to call out.

As you arrived upstairs, you made a beeline to your shared room. Opening the door, you're welcomed with darkness, except for the faint light in the corner of the room.

"Kay—"

"My angel of music has arrived!" He exclaimed, raising the lantern that was hidden on his cape to his face, revealing a white mask that covered his face.

"Alright, Erik. Now let's go back to decorating or a disaster beyond your imagination will occur."

You turned the light on, causing him to let out a small 'aww'. A chuckle escaped your lips as you realized that he's only wearing the cape and the mask as his costume. No wonder why the lights are off.

"I was feeling it." He sighed.

"I can see that."

Kayson put the lamp down and removed the mask and the cape. "Did you like my costume?" He eagerly asked with a smile on his face.

"No."

His smile fell.

"I loved it."

Kayson grinned at your answer, "I knew it. I'm so excited to wear the full costume and give out candies!" He beamed.

"We will, but first, let's finish decorating. Okay?"

He nodded, kissing your cheek. "This is gonna be one of the best Halloween ever. I'll make sure of that, my angel of music."

Isaac Rhoades

Occasions like these are something that Isaac never bothered with. He lived like an island, isolated from others for his job and safety. Isaac only spent those holidays with himself and his job, he knew that these occasions does not stop other people from doing whatever what they want to others.

But now, he found himself focused in front of the pumpkin, not minding the mess from the carving.

"No peeking," Isaac caught your eyes towards his carvings.

"I wasn't." Returning to your work with a small huff as he caught you. It was your suggestion to have a little pumpkin carving competition with Isaac and you're glad he agreed.

You searched for the face your should do for the pumpkin, settling on the one where they have cresent eyes, triangular nose, and sharp grin. It was nerve-wracking since it's your first, but there's no way you're backing out.

As you secretly glanced at him, you can't help but wonder what his design was. Isaac looked relaxed as he continued to carve; from time to time he'd look at his phone for reference, then he'll continue his carving. You silently admired him, the way he's so concentrated towards his work stirred something in you.

"Tadaaa!" You presented the carved pumpkin in front of him with pride. There may be some rough edges, but the pumpkin looked better than you expected.

Isaac nodded at the reveal, "That's very good."

"Really? Are you conceding?"

"Not quite," Isaac finally presented his pumpkin. It had horn-like eyes, triangular nose, and stitches as a grin. It looked horrifying.

You stared at it for a while, speechless at his skill and the neatness of his design. Against your pride, you admit that he won the competition.

"Is this good?" Isaac asked. You don't know if he's boasting or he's genuinely asking.

"Good? That's scary."

Isaac chuckled, "So I won?"

You nodded, "I'm not even mad that you did."

He walked towards you, cupping your cheeks, "At least yours are still good. I like it."

"Really?"

"Yes, really."

"Maybe next year I'll beat you."

Isaac smiled, heart melting at the thought of another year with you, "Yes, maybe next year."

Xanthus Claiborne

"This recipe is passed down through generations."

"I believe you," You replied as you began preparing the ingredients.

To celebrate the Halloween, you both decided to bake some spooky themed cookies. The idea was exciting, especially when it's something that you wanted to try with him. Checking all the ingredients, you were now ready to bake with him.

Xanthus was hands on– very hands on. He'll guide your hand as you bake, teaching you how to do it just like what the recipe says. You didn't mind his clingy behavior towards you. In fact, you found his excuses to touch you hilarious.

"That smells delicious. I think you're a professional, love," He praised as you continued to mix the batter.

"It was your recipe. No wonder why it was passed down through generations."

As you finished, you gently put the batter on the tray on its mold. Xanthus helped preheat the oven, making sure it's on the right temperature. Finally, both of you popped the tray in the oven, waiting for it to cook.

You head snapped towards the oven as you heard the soft ring. Wearing your kitchen gloves, you opened the oven, grabbing the tray where the cookies are. "They look delicious," Excitement is evident in your voice as you placed the tray on the counter.

"Careful, love. You need to cool it down a bit before we decorate it."

You nodded, fanning the tray with your hands. After it cooled down, Xanthus brought the frosting as you both began decorating the cookies.

"I knew it, it's so delicious," You sighed in satisfaction as you took a bite of the cookies you both made.

"Not as delicious as you," He winked, kissing your cheek, causing your cheeks to heat up at the gesture. "This is the best Halloween ever," Xanthus added.

"Why?" You turned to him with brows furrowed.

"Because I get to spend it with you."

Andrew Marston

"I think that's all of it," He smiled as he poured all the candies to the jack-o-lantern container.

You let out a sigh of relief, ticking one task off the to do list. You and Andrew decided to celebrate Halloween by having a movie night with all the classic scary movies you can find. So far, the preparation is going as smooth as ever.

Andrew helped you prepare the snacks. Once you both finished, you flopped down the couch, letting his arms wrap around you as the movie began to play.

"I wonder what costumes we're going to see later," He hummed, tracing soft circles on your skin, eyes focused on the film.

"I'm so excited, I'm sure they're all adorable."

"Or scary."

You gasped as an idea came to your mind, "Maybe we should dress up next Halloween."

Andrew smiled, open to that thought, "Any characters you want?"

"Maybe we can try being the sun and moon? Angel and devil? Or thing 1 and thing 2!"

Andrew let out a chuckle at your enthusiasm, "Seems like you already have a list."

"I do and I'm very excited to try it with you."

"So am I," He leaned in, planting a soft kiss on your lips as he looked forward to another Halloween with you.

Elias

"I wish I was Dr. Doom," Elias sighed as he came out with a green plaid polo and green pants.

"You lost the game, it's all fair." You spoke, taking off the mask to properly look at him. "Now slowly turn around for me," You chuckled as you began filming him.

Elias slowly turned around, showing off his costume, "Thank god you didn't ask for a wig."

A gasp escaped your lips, "Oh my god, maybe we should get one!" You teased, trying to rile him up further. As his face contorted into horror, you can't help but laugh harder.

"No way! It wasn't part of the deal. You said dress– just dress! No wig or whatsoever," Elias protested.

"I know," You stopped the recording, walking towards him. "You're the most handsome Isabelle I've ever seen," A soft smile plastered on your lips as you pinched his cheek.

"Really?" He muttered, still wearing his small pout.

"Uh huh."

He finally smiled, holding your hips, "I'll be Isabelle as long as you're Dr. Doom."

Sad facts about the main 6's home lives.

Because I am sad. And what better way to fight sadness than to project it on characters.

James has had one panic attack in his teen years that he never told anyone about. And it was BAD because he suddenly became very aware of his fate as king and all the responsibility that came with it and he spiraled thinking he wouldn't be able to bear it all. He just sat in his room and dealt with that for like an hour or two and he never told anyone because, to this day, he sees that as a moment of "weakness".

Erik used to have the mindset that nothing comes for free (which is lowkey true for a lot of the Abyssal Plains) but with his persuasion skills, he can essentially decide the price. With his naturally flirtatious personality and incubus origins, the "price" often had to deal with a sexual nature. It became such a default that it was second nature to him and that's why he went hard on the flirtation when they met Mika. It's just what usually works to lessen any other "prices" that someone might have that would be harder to fulfill.

Sam nearly ran away once. He literally planned everything out for his escape and got all the items he would need. He basically thought that he didn't need to stick around. Then remembered that Damien was still here and, unlike the others, wasn't really doing the best physically. Plus, he really REALLY didn't want to be without any of his brothers so he stuck around even though he hated it in the castle.

Matthew probably didn't have too many people to talk to. Everyone saw him as the child of the group so he really only had his brothers and his mother. It was very lonely.

Amongst the infinite well that is Damien's trauma, a smaller thing is that he was always told to walk at least 10 paces behind his brothers. This was to really hammer home that he wasn't an equal since the brothers refused to do that. This habit continued into the human world where a common occurrence was for people to not realize that Damien was a part of the group since he walked so far behind everyone else and was very quiet. That or the others would just straight up lose Damien in a crowd. Especially when he had black hair and blended in with everyone else.

Mika's bottle everything up attitude is a direct reflection of her father. He has the same attitude and unintentionally encouraged his daughter to be the same so she can "toughen up" and "grow thicker skin". It led to her turning off her true emotions for a while before sloooooowly opening up..... And then grandpapi died and Mika was back at square 1. Depression amirite?

[cjsarchive]

Hi! I love your work so much, and I was wondering if you would be up to doing your headcanons for Mika's beginning of relationship with each incubus? Michaela said that there was naturally a small weight period after Diana left to see if the relationship would work, so I was curious. Take your time, and thank you for all of the writing you've done:)

Thank you for the compliments! This prompt was so fun to do and I loved going back and playing the first game again in preparation for writing it. Hope you enjoy:D

James:

Would be every respectful, almost careful

A bit too gentlemanly

Waits on Mika hand and foot, he does it throughout the entire relationship, but it’s especially prominent at the start of the relationship

Is still getting used to what love is, so is very cautious and attentive to Mika

Has a few conversations and simply asks Mika what she expects from him and their relationship to make sure she never feels uncomfortable

Mika reassures him of her love for him and tries to relieve some of his precautions

Erik:

Still has doubts that she could really love ‘someone like him’

Is scared of not being enough for Mika

Feels like he’s dreaming

Wants to be physically close to her to confirm that he’s not dreaming

Wants to do everything to try to make her happy, down to the little things like simply holding the door open for her or making her coffee in the morning

Mika makes sure to keep reassuring him of her love

He can’t help but keep genuinely complimenting Mika

He tries really hard to get everything right

Sam:

A lot of gazing at Mika, can’t really believe it’s happening

He’s still getting used to love, so he’s pretty shy, a lot of stumbling over his words, mentally smacks himself for it

Anything Mika needs or wants, he immediately runs to get

Almost tries to downplay his personality at first, worried about messing something up

Tries to act overly gentlemanly at first, Mika appreciates the gestures, but reassures him to relax and that there’s nothing wrong with him being himself

Takes a bit to really start being playful and being fully himself

Matthew:

Actually pretty confident starting off

Very playful

Is always trying to make Mika smile and laugh

Wants to be touchy, but is still a bit hesitant, Mika initiates most of the touches at first

Many small kisses, whether on the cheek, the forehead, or the lips, they keep giving each other little kisses

Many compliments (You’re cuter, no you’re cuter!)

Corny in a fun way, are aware they’re corny, are as cheesy as possible just for the hell of it, they love being in love

Damien:

Blushes a lot

Is pretty clingy, loves being around Mika and wants to be physically close to her, Mika doesn’t mind and loves the clinginess

Is always checking on her

Is super grateful for Mika and does literally everything for her, wants to try repay her in anyway possible

Can’t stop smiling at Mika

Constantly complimenting each other

Mika can’t resist kissing him at every opportunity, he’s just too cute

He manages to bring up Mika in every conversation

[sweet-self-indulgence]

How do you think each incubus tries to let Mika know when they're in the mood?

James will find some excuse to tower over her

Pinning her against a wall or sliding up behind her are his go-to’s

He’ll pitch his voice low and tell her how she makes him feel

“Seeing you in the dress does incredible things to me”

If Mika seems to take the bait, he tends to add something like: “If you keep looking at me like that I don’t know if I can control myself”

Both of them want him to lose control, but teetering close to the edge is a thrill

Erik will whisper in her ear

To an untrained observer it may seem like his normal mode of playful flirting

But Mika knows that mixtures of the playful spark of arousal in his eyes and the complete earnestness in his face

Then he’ll lean in close to whisper sweet nothings in her ear

His favorite formula is compliment followed by sexual twist

“Your figure looks absolutely stunning in that dress… but you would look even better without it~”

He knows how Mika loves the way his whisper gives her goosebumps

Sam gets handsy

It’s subtle since he’s always casually touching Mika anyways

There’s something in the speed of a caress that changes its meaning:

A slow warm hand is comforting

A faster touch is casual, a way of physically acknowledging her presence

But there’s a specific kind of touch that lights Mika’s nerves on fire

If he softly trails his fingers down her side Mika gets turned on

If he touches her neck or collarbone he’d better be prepared to fuck on the spot

In a similar vein he’s not the best at compliments, but he has a way of saying “Wow” when he looks at Mika, like he’s absolutely star-struck

Matthew will turn up the heat of a kiss

He gives Mika a thousand little kisses a day, most of them are casual

but he’s very good at putting a little extra something in a kiss to change the mood

A ‘thank-you-for-getting-that-chore-done’ kiss suddenly has heat stirring in Mika’s stomach

Suddenly she’s standing in the middle of the room turned on and completely flustered

Maybe Matthew is smiling innocently at her, gauging her reaction

Or maybe she has to go find where he ran off to in order to continue the game

Damein will ask for affection

He might make a more casual interaction romantic by placing Mika’s hand on his cheek and staring into her eyes

Guaranteed to get her heart to flutter a little bit

He may also walk up to her, grab her hands in his and quietly, yet earnestly, declare “Beloved, I crave your touch”

This will make Mika blush

She’ll start with a hug, then he’ll gently pull her into a kiss with one hand cradling the base of her skull and the other on the small of her back

Quickly, one of them is pulling the other into a more private space

Am I just a delusional shipper or does this feel like it should have been a thing?

Spoilers for Gargoyles (1972) ahead.

"Go on, your voice pleases me."

"'The sin was not my own, but forced upon me by the incubus; who overnight did slip into my bedchamber and taunt and seduce me with demon's promises until I was as if on fire. He was of uncommon height and finely built. A devil's face of frightful beauty that did put me in a spell. I had no will of my own, but did let the incubus do his will until I was driven mad.'"

Those are actual lines out of the movie. I didn't paraphrase. At all. I played the scene where she was reading out of the book, and typed every word she said. This is a movie about demons who "sometimes take human women" who are trying to conquer the world. Also, in this movie, the gargoyles with wings are the breeders. This one says as much. He was basically the leader. His reaction to being told that he's lost is literally, "Not as long as there are two winged breeders."

Also, the way the gargoyle acts when he first sees Diana just SCREAMS "shipping fuel". If this were written in the modern day, they would have done it. You can't convince me otherwise. You know why I say that?

BECAUSE THE 90s DID IT!!!

I don't care that these two stories have nothing to do with one another. This is a really good comparison. And, even if it wasn't, I have plenty of fuel for this fire. (I don't even need my usual go-to of vampire movies to prove this point.)

Diana and The Gargoyle fit into two categories that I love and frequently ship. Hero/Villain (though I guess this is more damsel/villain) and Human/Monster. I'm going to give examples from both categories that I will die shipping. (They overlap quite a bit, actually.)

Jareth the Goblin King x Sarah Williams

Katara x Prince Zuko

Rey x Kylo Ren/Ben Solo

Vlad Dracula x Mina Murray/Mina Harker

Erik x Christine Daaé

Batman/Bruce Wayne x Catwoman/Selina Kyle

Elisa Esposito x The Amphibian Man

Catherine Chandler x Vincent

So, with all that context in mind,

DOES THIS REALLY LOOK LIKE THAT MUCH OF A STRETCH?!?!

Yknow what? I'm a little curious. How would you describe your mothers? (Damien, for obvious reasons, if you don't wanna answer, you don't have to.)

(I will be answering this based on how they feel by the end of the first game, if that's okay! If you'd like an updated version of how they feel by the second game, I can do that as well. I also took some inspiration from @vamichaelalaws posts)

James- to put it simply, my mother was a very cold, harsh queen and mother. She was just as hard on me about my training and studies as my father was, even after losing her physical form.

Erik- My mother was, well... She wanted me to focus on mastering the ways of an incubus, trying to sway me from becoming anything like my brute father. She forced me to do things and behave in ways, and now, because of her, I struggle to show my true self.

Sam- My mom was kind and caring. Even tho my father couldn't give a rats ass about me, she did her best to make sure I was alright... (Sam does not wish to say more than that. He misses his mother deeply, even if he won't admit it.)

Matthew- My mom did her best! She trained me in strategy and always knew I was capable of so much, if I had the tools I needed. But, when she wasn't focused on my training, she'd think too hard about the situation with my father, and she'd get pretty upset...

Damien- I'd rather not answer. Thank you for understanding.

i dunno if i said this before but it beats repeating ig

one of my favorite things about redacted and his writing is that erik takes seemingly common boyfriend asmr tropes and completely flips them onto their head and assigns a certain DEPTH to his characters that makes them feel so genuinely real

a ‘tsundere alpha wolf boyfriend’ is introduced in the form of david. he completely fits the bill in his first few videos. but as time goes on and he and angel’s relationship develops and deepens he lets down those walls, gives reason to why he was the way he way and how he was still attempting to overcome his grief and mourning over the passing of his parents. one of my FAVORITE david videos is the one where angel is comforting him on the summer solstice because it also happened to fall onto father’s day. the idea that angel *KNEW* what he needed by having him miss a day at work, let him speak on his own terms about what’s upsetting him, and just holding him while he cried. early david and current david are two completely different people due to erik gripping onto a relatively generic trope and going FURTHER with it

or like with vincent in the form of ‘flirty vampire.’ i literally ADORE vincent character development. with him falling into a ‘flirty and empty’ persona in an attempt to get what he needs in order to literally survive. and as SOON as lovely was seriously injured by being involved into the empowered world, he IMMEDIATELY drops this persona and tries to gently guide lovely into this world without pressuring them or making them feel unsafe. vincent has definitely taken back some of his flirting that he originally had, but he WAITED until lovely and him were at that point again.

god and don’t get me started on gavin

a common trope i’ve seen when people write incubus or concubus in general, is that they typically carry a sense of shame for what they are/feed on. and of course gavin 1000% has a problem with people only viewing him as his capability to have sex, he isn’t ashamed of what he is or what he does. gavin sees sex as a way to make both parties feel *good.* in his confession audio he literally describes it as bringing a joy to others. i mean, the freelancer and gavin have sex for the first time in an attempt to distract freelancer because they were emotionally exhausted from everything with kody and vega. even if gavin didn’t know everything at the time, he wanted to give them just a moment to forget about everything that had them ridiculously stressed.

these are just some examples that i can think of on the top of my head. i adore erik’s writing with these characters which is something i didn’t know to be possible with the audio rp format. there’s a lot of nuance that can be lost when just hearing someone speak, but even if i have a hard time with tone or lil nuances like that, i can’t recall a time when i’m ever really been completely lost when listening to redacted content. just. great writing 👍👍
