⇢ he might be in the middle of a meeting and he suddenly feels a tiny thorn lodging itself into his chest. he pauses whatever he was saying, pressing a large palm flat to his chest.
⇢ " … meeting ajourned. something important just came up. keep working diligently while i'm gone. good work today, team." he's already halfway out the door as his sentences trail off.
⇢ he takes longs strides through the building, his sights focused straight ahead. he doesn't hear any of his employees call after him with follow up questions, or bidding him a curious good-bye. they watch as he makes a beeline for the exit
⇢ the fastest way to you is straight through the forest. his feet pound the dirt as he speeds like a bat out of hell through the brush and understorey. twigs snap and small critters scurry out of the way. his heart beats wildly against his chest
⇢ "i'm comin', pancake. hold tight"
⇢ your scent grows stronger as he swiftly approaches your home. the sting of the wind scratches at his throat and eyes but he only pumps his arms and legs harder. sweat cascades down his bulking muscles and chest, and his tanned skin glistens as the setting sun shines upon it
⇢ he blinks away the sweat that clings to his eyelashes as he looks up at your balcony
⇢ there you are. his tail flicks and swishes happily behind him at the mere sight of you — though from where he stands you are only a small dot
⇢ not for long. he bounds up with his powerful legs, catching onto fire escapes and climbing up whatever might be sticking out or hanging down until he can hop over the short wall and land next to you
⇢ " … hi," he says, his tongue slightly poking out as he pants like a dog
⇢ you straighten up from leaning on the banister, eyes puffy and wet. you sniffle, bringing a knuckle up to wipe away at a plump tear that was threatening to fall. "hi," you respond, offering a weak smile
⇢ "i felt it. i felt you were sad. so i came running"
⇢ you frown for a half second. "weren't you at work?" you ask, hugging your arms around yourself
⇢ he laughs, waving off the sentiment. "yeah yeah but … i mean … they got it," he scoffs cheekily, licking a stripe over a fang.
⇢ he saunters towards you with arms outstretched. without a second thought you rush into him as hard as you can, thinking it would make him at least stumble back a little on impact. of course it doesn't. he thinks you're cute for trying though
⇢ he embraces you with a big sweeping gesture, wrapping you up tight in his giant arms. he's so warm … and really sweaty. you can feel his heartbeat erratically thrashing even under his jacket
⇢ "did … did you run here???" you say, muffled against his chest
⇢ his laugh reverberates against your face before he shoves his nose onto the top of your head, nuzzling, inhaling and planting kisses.
'What if both of you had met in college instead of in the battlefield?'
a/n: this is an au, and I'm also working off with his vibes, and inspiration from other fic I've been gulping all over Tumblr. So, Valko might be ooc. Be patient with me.
-Likes, reblogs and comments are deeply appreciated!
Read on ao3 | Masterlist
College!Valko whose appearance tricks everyone into thinking he's the classical jock — big muscles, tall as hell, too involved in the sports faction of his own university, and extremely popular among his own peers.
College!Valko who you would have never thought of interacting with — since he's the total opposite of your essence — and a man you always wondered why you shared a similar subject together. Who sometimes got carried away by his friends and made so much noise at the back of the class that he ended up shutting himself down after getting a death stare from the professor.
College!Valko who had you eating your own nails one afternoon after getting assigned a group project with him. You doubted his own skills regarding anything that didn't have anything to do with basketball. Your conscience wasn't letting you free of guilt — it wasn't personal, really, but you have had to work with one of his friends before and let's say it was an… Experience you weren't looking to repeat ever again. Oh, how wrong you were in your judgments.
College!Valko who pulled an uno-reverse card on you the moment you both settled on that date the day after the project assignment. All you could think about was how much he resembled Bruce Wayne in terms of intellect when he placed those glasses on his face and started to dissect the best way to make that project the best of the class. Eyes darting between his own notes, the books necessary for research, your own tablet that you had exposed with your original ideas and his own device made you feel like an asshole while trying to follow his own trail of thoughts. The man was an encyclopedia with muscles and a pretty face.
College!Valko who had you for the first time in all your study years feeling like you weren't carrying the whole project in your back — he was the one carrying it himself. Your new worry was around if you could follow his steps and the speed in which he spat new ideas and add-ons out of his mind. And if you could add luggage for him to bear.
“...”
“So, what do you think?” — he asked, expectantly — “Got any questions or anything you wanna share left so we can start working this together?”
“I have one, actually”
For some reason, his demeanor gave you the idea of a puppy being curious about what snack you were going to pull out to feed him.
“Shoot it!” — his enthusiasm made you nervously giggle, in an almost unnoticed way. Valko caught it anyway, and made a mental note of it for later.
“I was wondering if my ideas are even worth it at this point, yours are so much better haha…”
“Huh?”
College!Valko who remembered quickly that his own intelligence could be scary for anyone who was new to it, and you weren't immune to it. So he lowered his own speed and opened in a way that would make you feel comfortable about sharing your own opinions and ideas — without making you feel dumb, or like he was pitying you. And you internally thanked him for that.
College!Valko who you quickly noticed, was extremely addicted to chocolate in all its forms. Milkshakes, chocolate bars, chocolate pastries, cookies… The amount of gifts of the same nature that he gave you on your shared time inside the public library — behind the library's staff back — were totally unexpected at first, but became a heartwarming detail to you. You tried to reject them, Valko didn't listen to any excuse about it.
College!Valko who kept looking for you for any project that came around out of his own wish. Who you witnessed pushing away — kindly and with courtesy — to his own peers while they whined about him not pairing himself with them. Peers that wiggled their own eyebrows to whatever he said as a response, an action you didn't fully understand. This became a habit you fully ended up enjoying and thanking him in the shape of chocolate desserts, since you no longer had to dread the incognito of who you would end up having as a next partner during your studies.
Valko had accustomed himself to the kind of expression you made whenever you wanted to ask him about something, but didn't have the courage to do so.
His curiosity was bigger than his own restraint.
“Go on, place on the table what you want to say”
He read you like an open book and that made you jump slightly on your chair.
“So, Valko… Why do you choose to team up with me?” — you stopped your own writing, and looked straight into his golden eyes.
“I like how smart you are, I feel at ease with it, and not alone”
You snorted at his bold claim.
“Come on big boy, you know that's not true. You're bad at complimenting people, huh?”
The sensation of a ghostly tail wagging nervously from side to side behind him overwhelmed your mind for a moment. You wondered why you kept thinking of him as a dog.
“I'm not lying! And that's… not true! You're smart, I mean it. And also…” — his ears got slightly red, making him avert his eyes from yours.
“And?” — you… Loved when he got shy in front of you? That's such a weird trail of thought…
“And don't tell them this, but I hate sitting with my colleagues just to end up carrying the whole project on my back. You're like fresh air after a marathon ever since I got to work alongside you, is that bad? We can stop here if it makes it uncomfortable…”
A full blown laugh came from your mouth, catching the whole library's attendants and placing it on you, and Valko couldn't look more puzzled than ever.
College!Valko who started inviting you to his own basketball games, saying that it would really pump him up if he saw you amongst the crowd that cheered for the team. Invitations that you rejected first since your schedule was busy, but ended up showing up to one of his games and surprising him. They won quickly that day.
College!Valko who you came to know had a lot of girl admirers around the campus, who eagerly showed up to his games to cheer and catch his attention. Girls that —alongside his peers jumping and patting his back — made it impossible for him to meet you that day, opting to wave from a safe distance while leaving.
[chocoguy]: You didn't even congratulate me in person 💔💔
[me]: Sorry big winner, didn't want to ruin your fans and peers' experience. I'll bring something filled with chocolate next time we meet again to celebrate your win together and with less chaos ;)
[chocoguy]: How could you ruin anyone's experience? :( You would have improved mine
[me]: I promise you small celebrations are the best, you'll see <3
College!Valko who had a rumor floating around him about how he used to push away any girl admirer that came too boldly close to him, for reasons unknown to anyone. Despite this, there was no shit-talking about him coming from them so… What was the mystery behind him not having a girlfriend at this point?
College!Valko who had told you that his own major was related to biotechnology, but for classified reasons couldn't dive too much into it on a casual talk.
College!Valko who after his statement around his own studies forgot entirely about it after some time and started rambling about his own subjects, his own point of view around them and his own discoveries. Information that you couldn't understand well or at all, but that you loved to hear about from him. His eyes shined so brightly while rambling about them that you couldn't negate him from continuing, while you both enjoyed some dessert at your casual gatherings.
College!Valko who also let you ramble and share your thoughts and opinions on your own career, that became full-blown discussions that you enjoyed so much, since you didn't have no one else to discuss them with, and your friends rejected the idea of speaking about studies outside the classroom. He also let you express your frustrations around your major.
College!Valko who has a very expensive sports car, to which you questioned his own family background. To your surprise, he denied coming from a wealthy family, instead he assured it all came from his own internship at a very prestigious company that sponsored his studies and his brain.
“I want an internship just like that. You won the jackpot with it” — chewing on some lemon cake, you wiggled your eyebrows and paired it with a smug expression.
Valko looked at you with an expression that sent a message saying “it's not that simple”.
“Luck like that comes with a prize, pup” — there it was, that endearing nickname that made your chest flutter and your cheeks to become hot. You ignored the sensation and pushed to fix the confusion that his wording had implanted on you.
“You make it sound like you sold your soul to the devil himself”
Valko laughed softly, with some dark hints intercalated on it — “I'll snatch my own soul back soon, don't worry your overworking head around it”
Even if your confusion had just grown even more, you dropped the theme there. Valko's income, internship — and even his studies, at some point — were an eerie mystery that made you feel like you were standing on unstable ground that would end up badly if you continued to ask more of it. Valko shielded you discreetly against it, but you caught the hints every time.
When you noticed, Valko was returning from the shop's counter. It looked like he had left while you dived on your own thoughts.
“All riiiiiiight! We're set to go now! I have paid for everything” — Your independent spirit was screaming at his actions.
“Valko! You know I can pay for my own things” — a pout that made him smile even bigger settled on your mouth.
“And that's exactly why I don't notify you of my own gifts and acts of services for you, lil pup”
College!Valko who won all types of recognition prizes for his versatile duties and hobbies that revolved around the campus. Who couldn't stop moving around and never ran out of energy to do anything, contrary to you — that's what made you realize that his involvement with the basketball team was to steam out some of that energy, since he couldn't stay still ever. You theorized that if he tried, it would hurt him physically. Once in a while, you came across him with one of his many prizes in his hands, and he tried to brag about it to you in a sweet-himbo way. He had broken some crystal-made ones because of it.
College!Valko whose big body and non-ending energy made him extremely clumsy, which ended up with him clashing with several objects or stumbling without explanation, sometimes when he got too excited by seeing you. You had discovered he was a total himbo the moment he had crashed against you trying to hug you.
College!Valko who had managed to make you fall for him because of the tenderness and sweet nature he possessed. He was the definition of a gentle giant in all his forms — even if he failed sometimes, physically. Valko was a family man, always telling you anecdotes of his own bloodline and how he looked forward to achieving better things for them with his own career and resources that existed in the palm of his hand, or would exist in the future. His determination to improve things for his beloved ones made you love him, secretly.
College!Valko who had opted to insert himself as your personal ride every day, after you were done with your study schedule. Whose car rumbling had made you fall asleep on his passenger seat multiple times, only to be awakened to his soft touch. One time, you woke up to his soft gaze on your face, while appreciating your sleepy face.
You opened your eyes to find you were still in his car, and that its owner had probably spent some time watching your sleeping figure in a way that made your heart beat faster than usual.
“... Valko? Is everything alright?” — Your words were dragged, you weren't still fully awake. Why was he looking at your face so intently before?
Valko noticed your awareness and turned his eyes to the car's wheel, while sweeping his hands over his pants, which were stagnant with sweat. You didn't know the reason for his nervous behavior.
“Ah! I'm sorry pup, it's just that… Y-You looked so peaceful sleeping there that I didn't want to… Wake you up” — a blush creeped up both of your faces, for two different reasons.
“Oh… I'm sorry Val, knowing how busy you are you must be tired. Thank you for the ride home, see you later?” — you were almost opening the door when his hand grabbed your arm and stopped you from running away. Now that you have realized how intimate the moment had become, the butterflies on your stomach were chaotic enough for you to not be able to contain your nervous wrecked feelings.
You stopped in your tracks, and turned your head around to see why he had stopped you.
“Mind if we go on a date this Saturday evening? I know of a very good restaurant we can go to, and honestly, I've been wanting to ask you out on a date that doesn't revolve around a recreational time after our packed schedules… What do you say?”
Turning your whole body to him, you took the same position you had before trying to leave — “That's why you were looking at me so expectantly before?”
Valko licked his lips, anxious.
“You could say I was gathering enough courage to ask you this…”
You sighed, internally surprised. We're you making Valko, such a successful and confident man, shy in front of you?
A smile smile was paired with your answer — “I would love to”
His excitement made him shake his left hand in excitement on a fist, bashing it against the door’s handle.
“Hell yea-OUH!”
College!Valko who had a whole bet on his head from a large group conformed by his peers, classmates and even professors on the campus that knew of his rumors of him pushing away girls — around how long it would take for you to leave him too. Some were betting money on the idea of you lasting only 6 months, and other time-frames. A small group of past girls who had approached him before and had left him shortly, were betting that you would never leave his side. Nobody understood why they chose that option, and they giggled as a response when they were questioned about it.
College!Valko who made the last group of girls win the bet that Saturday night while you both dined on your best set of clothes. He never stopped complimenting your attire and looks, saying different types of praises all the way to the restaurant in which he had made a reservation prior — while pushing his nerves away. You wanted to reciprocate them, because he definitely looked gorgeous in that prussian blue suit. But your anxiety got the better of you. That is until you sipped a whole glass of wine while you ate and spoke to him, after that you couldn't stop flirting with him all night. It was endearing how you managed to crumble a man that size to your own words and whim.
College!Valko who got your love confession that day, after you managed to take advantage of the courage the alcohol had brought to you. If you didn't do it then, certainly you would never do it another day. He reciprocated the feelings even stronger than you, bringing attention to your table. An old couple muttered how cute your love was to witness, other people giggled at it.
College!Valko who unveiled why the girls that approached him in the past left him alone quickly when you expected him to initiate something more intimate and he refused, saying that he liked it better when it was taken slowly instead of rushing things, like everyone did it nowadays.
The alcohol sure did bring you courage to do things you'd never do sober. You had confessed to him finally. You also haven't stopped flirting with him all night, which he replicated back at you while trying and failing to hide how shy your lines made him feel. And you had now invited him to stay a little more in your apartment after dropping you off.
You slowly started creeping above his figure, kissing him fervently — to which he was also reciprocating back. Eager hands moved to his tie, and you started to undo its knot on it.
Valko noticed this, and grabbed your hands softly, trying to stop them.
“Pups…?” — he spoke in between your hungry kisses, while trying to keep up with them — “What’re you doin-?”
You didn't answer with words. Instead, you answered by starting to caress his chest, sneaking your hand inside his shirt to touch his chest and abs. His body had started to answer back to the stimuli you were delivering to his senses, making an erection appear quickly.
Despite this, he stopped you more firmly.
“Pups, stop for a moment…” — he grabbed both of your hands with one of his, and made you look at him directly.
Your carnal desires made you get irritated for a second, since you were enjoying devouring his lips nonstop. You wanted to escalate things between the both of you. But his puppy eyes made you regain what little sense you retained. Confusion bathed your face.
“What's wrong? Are you afraid of-” you were quickly silenced by his louder voice.
“I'm not afraid! I just… I can do this with you while you're drunk, love. I know better. And I also… Don't like to rush things”
‘There's no way’ — you thought. Suddenly, everything was falling into place. The rumors made sense now.
“I hate casual and fast relationships. They have never been attractive to me… You know? I wish I could explain it better but…”
The reason no girl wanted to stay longer…
“And I want us to last for a long time, is that bad? Girls always run away from me once I hit this milestone with them, and I was hoping it could be different this time, so please…”
The reason all girls left him — no, ran away, now you know — was because…
‘What are you doing? Get that dress strap back on its place! The alcohol has possessed us!’
Valko was a hopeless romantic, just like you.
College!Valko who started to spoil you even more — to his whole capabilities — after that night, and you both made it official as soon as the next morning came. Everyone who was involved in the bet was shocked at the turning of events. They never thought they would see him gain a partner while he studied. Or ever. Rumors say that the girls who won the bet could pay their whole college debt with it. Some people approached and asked you about the reason he declined so many girls before you, you never answered and redirected them kindly.
College!Valko who asked you if you would like to get to know the family he always spoke so much about, to which you agreed happily. A meeting that answered why his manners were immaculate. His older figures were mostly strong women, who looked out for him but also teased him about this being the first time bringing a girl to the house. Where you also got to be introduced to his nieces, brothers and sisters, who despite their nonstop teasing and successful attempts of embarrassing him in front of you, made sure to let you know that you were welcome in their family as long as you didn't hurt any of their blood.
College!Valko who with his love made you realize that you have finally found the love of your life, and that you could trust every part of you to him without fear. And who you also communicated that he also could deposit the same trust with you. Which directed both of your steps to finally devour each other in bed. He showed him that he was also relentlessly energetic while making love to you, and made you realize that he was also aware of your own energetic resources.
Moans that came from your mouth and his, filled his whole apartment. Thankfully for the both of you, his walls were thick enough for the sound to not escape through them.
His thrusts were deep and steadily fast, your eyes were rolled back by the amount of pleasure he brought to you with each one of them. His cock was so thick and large that it stretched and filled you so deeply, to the point you were sure that you were getting hoarse from how long you have been howling his name and moaning near his ear. That made him regain even more energy to keep thrusting your cunt. His chest felt heavy with pride, knowing that those sounds were provoked by him, and his cock twitched at knowing that you were his. Valko's back was scratched from the middle to the top of his neck, and red spots could be seen in the whole length of them.
Wet kisses adorned your face, clavicles, neck and lips, while he rubbed your nipples, sending you through your first orgasm. He joined you a few seconds later, groaning at the release of his cum still inside of you. Heavy breaths followed sooner — trying to regain the breath lost all this time, and Valko couldn't help but drop on top of your chest and cuddle you, always keeping it inside to stretch any second of both of your releases.
When you both were finally silent, something with a fluffy texture started tickling the tip of your jaw, while you scratched his ears. At first you brushed it off by thinking it was a part of his hair, but it kept tickling you nonstop, several times.
“Val, stop tickling me with your hair…”
“I'm not doing that, pup” — his voice was also hoarse, and he sounded tired enough to not be in the mood for one of his jokes.
But the sensation returned, and it was really bugging you. You didn't want to open your eyes, you were tired enough to fall asleep on the spot, so why was he…
That's when you heard it — and felt it too.
‘Swosh, Swosh, Swosh’
“What the hell…?” you finally opened your eyes, to the biggest surprise Valko would ever give to you. One that you would accept and to embrace him fully. But it scared you how suddenly exposed you were to it at the time.
Sitting at the top of his head, two dark and fluffy wolf ears were settled, half down, twitching from time to time as if catching sounds your ears could never hear by themselves.
The shock made you freeze at the view that was in front of you. But something large and constant kept hitting your leg on a repetitive rhythm that made you lift half of your tired body and go against your boyfriend's weight to get an image of what exactly was happening down there.
‘Swosh, Swosh, Swosh!’
The scream you let out woke up Valko from his almost-achieved sleeping process — and eyeing where your eyes were looking, reminded him of what he had kept a secret for too long. Big mistake.
“V-Va-Val…” — Your eyes looked for an explanation without saying it out loud. He sighed, and sat on the bed.
He had a lot to explain to you that night.
e/n: He's such a nerd himbo to me 🥹❤️
This took me all day to write, but I don't regret it. He's been a brainworm these days to me and I feel like a widow with his cancelation. I've been trying to delay works of him because I wanted to gather more information before writing fics about Valko but since we don't know if that will ever happen, I jumped in the boycott and in the trend too lol
I got some inspiration from one of the best fics I've read about Valko and his family for one of my headcanons, so I gotta recommend you to please check it out, you won't regret it! It warmed my heart so much <3
