Hello lovely friends, it's Show and Tell Saturday! My social media has closely followed the Artemis II, so I've been enjoying all the new space knowledge I have now. What's new in your world this week?
You walk into the bar before opening, dawning your most fantastic red shirt. You can hear Eddie’s voice in the back room. He is muttering and moving cases of alcohol as he takes stock. You wonder where Volt is, looking around the bar you don’t see him. “Maybe he's upstairs” you ponder, your eyes landing on the wall of alcohol. You think to yourself that you'll mix them a drink to unwind before the bar opens. As you round to the back of the bar, your eyes scanning the bottle of alcohol and syrup you feel your hair stand on end, feeling the familiar sparks of warmth as arms wrap around you.
“Live wire!” he whispers quietly in your ear. “What are you up to?” he says even lower and darker, his arms squeezing tighter around you, trapping you against him. You turn your head up to meet his gaze, a pink blush slowly coming to your cheeks.
“You scared me-“ you say to the smirking spark. He shushes you gently indicating he wants you to stay quiet, possibly so Eddie won’t notice you’re here. He wanted to savor just having you to himself for a few moments, something devious bouncing around his white shining eyes.
“I- was going to make you guys a drink.” you whisper softly, fully turning around in his arms. He smiles bigger and leans down planting a soft kiss on your cheek. Your hands land on his biceps and you smile softly. The warmth from your lover makes you feel safer than anything in this world.
“Oh?” he says, surprised, “How delicious~ But I have a better idea.” His grin turns mischievous as he looks over your body. You roll your eyes amused.
“You know his rules- if he catches us again..” your voice trails as you think of what happened last time the two of you got caught. Volt's eyes turn dark as he pulls you ever closer.
“Oh noo~ little spark that is not exactly what I mean.” he whispers against your lips, making your face even warmer than his sparks could make you. “Eddie has been so tense-“ he looks away to the back room door beyond you “He acts fine but I think he's just having difficulty with-“ he pauses again his eyes locking on yours now “Needing your help. He never had anyone to depend on before me. Even then, he stopped trusting that.” He sighs and raises a hand, gently rubbing your cheek with his thumb. “Then you came along and you gave him no choice, and he loves that you made him accept you. But I think that doubt is coming back again.” Your face falls just a bit, looking over your shoulder to the back room where you can still hear Eddie working. Volt gently guides your face back to him “It's not your fault livewire. He just has issues and needs to be reminded he can trust us to be there” You nod into his hand and he kisses your head.
After a second of silence he locks eyes with you again. “So my idea was to give him some gentle reminders.” He speaks thoughtfully as his hand slides down your neck to your upper chest. “One’s that would last...” he says intently. You can feel his eyes burning over your skin, yet you are a little confused. You look at him with a small head tilt and curiosity burning in your eyes.
It seems that's the reaction Volt wanted, delight waving over his face before he leans down and nibbles on your neck. His teeth teasing your pulse, he sucks and bites making a deep red mark on the side of your neck. He rejoices in the feeling of you clinging to him in shock as your nails dig into his back and bicep. Your little noises of pleasure and surprise linger in the air as he makes sure the mark will stay. When he starts to pull away he licks over his mark and turns your head so he can admire his work and your deep red face. “Just like that~” he whispers softly as you move to cover your mouth. A shy grin tugs at your lips. He laughs softly at you and you gently bat your hands at him in protest of the tease.
Suddenly you feel hands on your shoulders and a warm breath on your neck. “Beating up our Volt now are you~?” He teases softly, “Not that he doesn’t deserve it, but don’t get too rough-“ He moves and whispers even softer in your ear, “he might like it.” The whispering doesn’t do anything to prevent Volt from hearing him and you can see it on his face as hunger forms on his lips. If he really had no self control he would pounce and devour you.
You pout playfully and lean back into Eddie, “He’s being a mean tease-“ you whimper softly, a playful smirk hiding behind the fake sad look you give to Eddie.
“Oh? So he does deserve a beating.” Volts cheeks flush red and he grins, taking a step forward and pinning you now against Eddie.
“I wasn’t being that mean was I, live wire?” He asks playfully a hand covering the dark mark on your neck. His eyes pass a message to keep it a surprise. You shake your head and mutter a “No.” shyly. Eddie gives a heavy chuckle from his belly and leans over you, peppering your cheek in kisses.
“What are you doing here so early, spark?” he asks as he turns you around to face him.
“I wanted to make a drink for you guys before you opened.” Your eyes follow as Volt moves behind Eddie. Eddie scans your face as Volt points to his own neck and winks to you. Volt seems to start mixing up a drink behind Eddie, whose eyes are glued to your red face.
“We still have an hour or so, we could always drink together after we close?” He smiles softly as his hands slide down your arms and slip into holding your hands. Your eyes can’t help but to scan Eddie's jaw and neck, your mind racing with what Volt was telling you to do.
“Well..” You grapple with yourself on how to word what you wanted to say. You finally catch Eddie's cold grey eyes. They shine with sweet happiness, but there’s something more that dulls them. “I wanted to check in- If everything is ok. I know it was a lot, fixing your wiring, but we haven’t really talked about it all..” Your voice trails and you see a look of nervousness slowly flood Eddie's eyes. You quickly continue “I mean there's been a lot of love” You hope Eddie understands you mean intimacy, as your cheeks once again return to that dark red. “I- I know we’ve spent a lot of time together- and- I’ve told you I love you tons but… We haven't talked about us- or about you.. or…” You bite your lip nervously. “And..” Your eyes dart down to his chest up past him to where Volt was. You see him shifting, hearing glass click as he works. You can see Eddie is moments from running away. You let go of his hands and slide yours up his body pausing just below his neck. “Is that enough for you?” You look at him, almost pleadingly your eyes locking. Just beyond Eddie you can see Volt's messy white hair get closer to assure Eddie can’t run making you relax a bit and you lean into Eddie a bit hoping it will persuade him to answer. He blushes softly as you press into him.
“I- well…” he looks away, one hand landing on your hip and the other covering his mouth as he clears his throat. Volt turns and hugs Eddie around his waist.
“Go on darling..” Volt whispers to Eddie, his face pressed into the back of his neck peppering with kisses. Eddie huffs and nods a bit.
“We could talk about it later? If that could help your concerns?” he says softly behind his hand. He looks at you and pushes his hair back out of his face. “I just want to be more..” he thinks for a moment. “More comfortable..” You nod to him and smile softly, a hand raising to his face to pull him down into a kiss. His lips press into yours hesitantly, but soon he melts into it. His arms are wrapping around you now. You push up into him once more, Volt bracing the both of you behind him. You pull from the kiss leaving Eddie a little desperate for more. Volt’s hand comes up and gently holds his jaw in place to look at you. It was something that didn't really need encouragement.
Your eyes look at him with a hint of mischief, a smile tugging at your lips as you eye him like he's prey. His face flushed more. “Wait. You know the rule.” He says sternly, he can almost read you like a book.
“Don’t worry, baby. I just want to help make you comfortable.” You lean up to him again just inches from his face, your voice low. “I want you to remember that we’re here for you... we can help make you comfortable" He almost got lost in your love filled eyes as you spoke. Volt whispers in his ears as you lean in to start biting at his neck.
As your teeth sink into Eddie's skin he hugs you tighter and huffs heavily. “Live wire~” he pushes out through gritted teeth as if it's meant to be a warning. Your tongue brushes against the red marks your teeth made, sending shivers over his body and silencing him. Volt continues to whisper incoherently into Eddie’s ear as he watches him melt. You move and slowly start sucking on a new expanse of skin. Your saliva is like lava on his skin, burning into him as you bruise it with your teeth.
“Aren’t they just working beautifully on marking you up?” Volt asks as you pull away from the second mark, wiping your mouth on the back of your hand and smiling. “Tell them Eddie~” He goads the putty between them. Eddie looks at you with a look of embarrassment on his face.
“Yeah... Yeah they’re so beautiful” he says softly, looking away as he speaks. Oh that hopeless look on his face made you dive right back at him, your teeth digging into the skin by his artery just as Volt had done not long before. He grabs your hips tight enough to leave bruises as his body shakes softly. “Oh… fuck” he huffs into your ear. This just fuels you to bite harder, his body almost going slack back against Volt.
Volt is peppering his jaw with small kisses and gently raking his teeth across the top of Eddie's ear and kissing it after. His goal was to overwhelm him while you work on Eddie. Feeling him relax only made him more hungry. His hand snaked down Eddie's body, slipping a teasing finger into the top of his pants. Eddie huffs and one of his hands grabs the one prying at his pants. “Don’t.” He growls, making Volt give a deep laugh. He slides his hand back up to Eddie's chest, gently rubbing it.
You pull away from your newest mark and Eddie grabs your face, making you kiss him. You give a happy noise into his mouth. When he releases you he smiles softly. “Let's continue this later, my little spark.” He gently runs his thumb over your red lips. “I have to finish getting the bar ready for tonight.” You nod into his hand and Volt grins.
“Let me see them Eddie~” He almost begs. Eddie gives him a tired and slightly annoyed look.
“You told them to do this didn't you?” Volt only smiles as he looks over the marks on his lover's neck. Eddie sighs and puts his hands on his hips and shakes his head. He looks at you again and ruffles your hair “You did great. Maybe later we can show Volt what he gets for scheming against me again..”
Volt puts on a joking pout “Ahww come on~ You loved it darling~” Eddie gives an irritated look before grabbing Volt by the shirt and his lips crashing roughly against Volt’s. His teeth bit at Volt’s lip before pulling away. When he does he wipes his mouth and mumbles “Will you shut up...” before turning to go back to the back room to continue to work.
Volt turns to you with a hungry grin. He grabs your hand and tugs you upstairs hoping to recover himself before the bar opens.
Volt certainly recovered himself, just in time for the bar to open. He kisses your cheek, leaning over you as you lay in the bed absolutely taken out by what he managed to do to you in the last 30 minutes. He was all too proud of the marks he dotted your body with and the deep blush on your face. “I have to go open the doors of the bar.” He said with a bit of a pout. His eyes still burning with a hunger that would typically be unstoppable. “But you can take your time up here~” He pecks your lips a couple times in farewell. As he stands you whine softly wanting him to hold you. You can hear drawers, shuffling, and a lighthearted chuckle.
When Volt is back in your view he sets down an old outfit of Eddie’s, one he hasn’t worn in probably decades. His warm gaze travels over your body once more.. “I know my dear~” He takes your hand and kisses it, his bright eyes burning into yours. He spoke against your hand, peppering it in kisses between his words. “I’m sorry I can’t stay longer- I spent too much time lost in you.” You squirm, pressing your legs together in desperation, making that hungry look appear on Volt’s face. You swear he was going to pounce on top of you again. But unfortunately you hear Eddie angrily calling for Volt from downstairs. Volt looks to the door with a sigh before his soft loving eyes find yours again “One more kiss,” he whispers before planting his lips against yours passionately. When he pulls away you can see a hint of blush on his cheeks “Go ahead and shower live wire~ You can wear these.” He says placing a hand on the pile.
“I’ll see you soon~” he sings softly as he leaves the room, closing the door behind him. Leaving you whining and stretching yourself back to reality.
“What a tease..” you mutter to yourself “Stripping me like this just to cover me in hickies…” You run your fingers over the love bites on your thighs, they’re stinging slightly as you touch them. Your heart is still beating in your ears.
You can’t stop replaying Volt's loving voice as he praises you between nibbling and kissing various spots on your body. He lit you on fire with his eyes, words and mouth. He refused to let you cover your face in embarrassment as he worshipped you. He made sure every bit of you was on display for him.
Until he looked at the clock and rushed off to work. You went from blushing and swooning for him to pouting angrily as you pulled yourself from their bed and trudged to the bathroom.
You stepped in the shower, rinsing off your body of saliva and sweat, trying your best to not get your hair wet. After you dry off you look for your clothes, they’re just gone? You think through when Volt had dragged you upstairs and hastily undressed you. As you look your eyes land on the pile of clothes on the bed.
And they rolled annoyed as you realize- Volt must have hidden the clothes you had been wearing before. Even your underwear were replaced with one of their pairs. You pick up the underwear and your face flushes once more “What a pervert.” You mumble as you pull them on and start dressing yourself. At least he let you keep your shoes.
You look in the mirror at your new outfit. You still wish you had your fantastic red shirt, but Eddie’s black satin shirt felt so cool on your skin. You wonder why he never wore it, or, even more, why he had it. Your mind drifts, thinking of him wearing it and you flush embarrassed as you imagine it slightly unbuttoned. You smack your cheeks and shake your head grounding yourself. You sigh softly as you slip into your shoes and tie your hair back.
With one more glance in the mirror, hoping no one will ask about the very visible marks on your neck- you head out of the bedroom and down the stairs to the bar.
As you descend the stairs you hear what sounds like Miranda y las Migas. You hum to yourself softly walking out into the bar. It's quite lively tonight. You see Tony and Rainey at the bar chatting. Jean Loo and Amir in some sort of intense conversation. Mitchelle is nursing a wine while Cabrizzio probably gives him a long story from Italy, making you smile and roll your eyes. Your eyes finally land on Eddie, who is working hard, mixing drinks for the bustling crowd. You smile seeing he’s still a bit red in the face hoping its because what you did to him is still visible on his neck. As you walk through the bar giving your pleasantries and hellos to everyone you wonder if anyone else has noticed.
“Hey there darling!” Barry exclaims as he wraps you in a hug, scaring you out of your locked gaze on Eddie. “You look absolutely stunning in that shirt! And your hair!” he swoons sweetly making you blush and giggle.
“Thank you Barry- this is actually Ed- well I’m borrowing this shirt from someone” you say awkwardly “My other shirt got mixed up in some laundry” Barry looks at you confused but still grinning. He eventually finds the excuse a silly joke and pats your arm while laughing.
“Either way you're beautiful darling!” You smile and laugh with him, the nervousness you had slowly melting away. As you two giggle at each other you feel a warm hand on your back.
“Barry!” Volt’s honey sweet voice sings, breaking the laughter. He looks down to you with a shit eating grin. “Live wire! How are the pair of you tonight?”
“We’re doing absolutely wonderful Volt! I was just telling them how nice their shirt is! Satin is very stunning!” He smiles sweetly his hand finding a comfortable spot on the crook of Volt’s arm.
“It is, isn't it?” Volt says with a hint of pride “Barry I do believe Amir might be in need of your help with Jean Loo?” He points across the room to the pair who are slightly annoyed with each other at a table.
“Oh dear! Poor Amir.” He puts his hands on his hips “I guess I should go help them” he says with a bit of a pout. He smiles at you “I’ll see you soon doll” He gives you a quick hug and a wave to Volt before hurrying off to Amir.
You quickly turn to Volt, grabbing his arm. He is admiring you lovingly with a smile. You give him a frustrated look “First, you don't have to scare away my friends- im only screwing with you- You made that pretty clear earlier don't you think?” You gesture wildly with your free hand and Volts face turns to surprise as you whisper yell at him. “Second, you stole my clothes?” The lack of enthusiasm gets your point of upset across to him. Even still his cheeks pinken as his eyes travel over your body and he smiles a bit. He opens his mouth to speak but you squeeze his arm roughly as a warning that he shouldn’t. “Lastly,” you lean up to his face getting close, your irritated eyes burning into his. Your voice goes lower as you hungrily threaten him “Don’t ever leave me like that again if you don’t want worse done back to you.” Your eyes burn with desire as they flicker down to his lips. Volt's cheeks go redder and he nods leaning closer wanting to kiss you. But you smirk, let go of his arm, and drop back down away from him and march off to the bar. Leaving behind a dazed saddened Volt.
As you walk up to the bar Eddie's eyes glance up and he asks “Whatcha need?” you give a disappointed pout and reach over the bar tapping Eddie’s hand as he wipes up the counter. He looks up to you and his face relaxes. You smile at him sweetly. “Oh, Hi live wire~” you pull your hand back and take a seat. Eddie watches you, looking over you. “Where’d you get that shirt?” His cheeks are a light pink as if he already knows.
You give him a playful look “Is it your’s?” you ask teasingly before resting your head on your hand and looking at the array of alcohol. “Somebody stole my clothes and forced me to wear these” You look back at Eddie who’s eyes are now locked on Volt across the room with a look of annoyance. “I’m not too upset about it” you say, coaxing Eddie back to you. “Do you like this shirt?” Eddie’s eyes travel over you again and he sighs out his nose, flinging the rag in his hand over his shoulder and pushing his hair back. He pretends to work while he thinks of a reply before his dark eyes lock on yours again, a hint of need in them.
“On you.” he says simply. His voice is low and shy. You hide a grin behind your hand and give a pleased hum.
“I hope you know I am upset at Volt for other things though..” you mutter as you look around the room again. Eddie turns back to his serious self, raising an eyebrow.
“He’s always causing trouble, but why’s that spark?” He starts mixing a drink for you as he waits for an answer.
“Well, after..” your voice trails as you think of a way to word it “After I gave you those little reminders..” you say teasingly pointing to his neck. He coughs softly and looks away for a moment. “Let’s just say Volt didn’t like how little time I took doing it and wanted more..” You give an exasperated sigh as Eddie hands you your drink “and he left me all… bothered” You explain with a little annoyance in your voice.
“I see…” Eddie says softly. His hand stays on the counter near you. You slowly slip your hand into his.
“Then he stole all my clothes. My underwear too Eddie” His jaw tightens as he hears that.
He tries his best to keep his composure as he asks. “So you don't have…”
“I do, it's just not mine..” You both are unable to look at each other as it sinks in. You squeeze his hand as the embarrassment slowly fades away. You sigh “He can be charming but also sooo mean” You pout looking towards the door where Volt spoke to Dorian.
Eddie scoffs his eyes watching you a bit amused “He is a nuisance isn’t he?” he smiled a bit and leaned against the bar “What if we were a nuisance back?” Your eyes flicker to Eddie with a hint of mischief.
“We could~” You say playfully before looking down to his hand in yours. Your smile turns soft and solemn. “But I really do want to have a talk… we do so much else but.. I want you to feel comfortable talking too..” You play with his fingers as you speak. He grabs your hand again and lifts your hand to his lips, planting a small kiss.
“Oh spark, I want to talk too.. I just..” he trails, setting your hand on the counter and nudging your drink towards you. “I never knew the right time and since we started.. dating you, he’s been so wild” he said motioning his head towards Volt. “But we will talk tonight. I promise.” He looked at you serious, his dark eyes seeming to sparkle as he promised you. It made you smile as you picked up your drink and took a sip.
“I’ll hold you to it~ Don’t tease me like Volt” you said playfully. Eddie gives a brief look of annoyance and rolls his eyes.
“Yeah yeah, I gotta get back to work.” He gives you a smile before turning to continue wiping down the bar while he can.
You look at your drink and sigh happily before taking another sip. As you do you hear a sweet chipper voice and feel a big hefty hand on your shoulder. “Hey sugar!” Rainey slides into the stool next to you and Tony leans up against the bar on your other side. You smile at them as they settle in. “Tony was just telling me about your ‘lesson’ the other day!!” Rainey says nudging you. You look up to Tony and he looks away with a light blush as he sips his beer.
“Is that soo!?” you tease him, gently kicking his leg. “Did you tell her what the lesson was about?” You ask as you turn back to Rainey.
“No! I don’t think he got to that part~” Rainey says quietly. Tony, while out of your sight, turns and starts frantically signaling her to stop speaking. Rainey just laughs “I think he was focusing more on-“ Tony grabbed your stool and spun you to face him. You look at him startled, his face is close to yours and he has a mixture of fear and embarrassment on his face. He has one hand on the back of the stool and one on the bar, pinning you to your seat. Rainey laughs playfully “ Oh come on honey, I wasn’t gonna sayyy” But you and Tony don’t really hear her. He is so close, he smells like wood, beer, and sweat. His breath is warm on your flushed face. You can see his eyes sparkle with something you can't quite make out.
A hand lands heavy on Tony’s shoulder followed by another taking yours. “Hey Tony! Rainey!” Volt says warmly. Tony pulls his hands away from your space and crosses them. He looks away from everyone towards the bottles of alcohol, he’s startled when he sees Eddie standing nearby with a dark look aimed directly at Tony.
“Hey Volt!” Rainey springs from her chair and hugs his arm in hers. “So good to see you!” He smiles.
“I am so sorry about this but I really must take them from you.” he motions to you. “I need a hand with something live wire.” you hesitantly nod and let him pull you out of your seat. As you leave, you turn and wave them good bye. Tony is covering his face with one hand and lazily waving bye to you with his other.
As you walk towards the stage you notice that Volt’s usually bright facade has dimmed. You slow and pull on his hand causing Volt to stop. It seemed like he wanted to take you backstage to talk, but you didn't like how he had tugged at your arm. “Volt! What is your issue?” He took a moment to reply before turning with a smile, one unlike his usual.
“I told you! I need a hand!” You didn't trust it and pulled your hand from him. You look at him trying to analyze what he meant. He covered his mouth with a hand and seemed to have been working on breathing properly? But he was definitely upset.
You look around and luckily no one else seemed to see what happened. You get a bit closer to Volt, placing a hand on his shoulder. You were afraid of startling people so you thought it was best to defuse it best you could “Is it the show? Did you want me to come sit up front?” He turns and aims his burning angry eyes on you. You wouldn't be so taken aback if it didn't make your face burn like opening an oven. As he looks over your anxious stance like you might run away he sighs heavily and covers his mouth again.
“Oh dear… I was that obvious was I?” You can tell he’s lying, he’s hurt, you can hear it; but you go along with it. You know it wouldn’t be a good idea to get into whatever was wrong right now. Not when Scandalabra wasn't far away. He leads you to your usual spot and you take a seat. He grabs your hand, different this time, gentler. He kisses the back of your hand and excuses himself before heading to the backstage door. As you settle you hug yourself. You look around, strangely you feel isolated, cold. You start worrying that you might have done something wrong. Maybe refusing Volt a kiss earlier was meaner than you had thought. You sighed and laid back into your chair.
You thought of the drink Eddie had made you and facepalmed thinking about how you had left it behind. The lights dim and so you thought you should run and get it before the performance started. You stand and quickly rush to the bar, much farther down that you had been earlier. “Eddie!” You called sweetly as people began clapping. You turn and see Volt on the stage, he is smiling brighter now as he announced none other than Johnny Splash to the stage. Some of the patrons groaned but you made sure to cheer nice and loud for Johnny Splash as he walked on stage. You found his act amusing and sweet to watch, no matter how talented he was, it was nice to see how hard he would try.
As he hears you cheer, Volt's eyes flash from the table where he left you, to the bar where you were. You stand by Telly who has their arm resting on the counter behind you. They had said ‘hello’ politely as you walked up. But as Volt looked over at you all he saw was you near someone else. Bright eyes lock on you with a hint of jealousy and anger. When you notice you wave awkwardly and turn back to the bar in search of your other partner. Volt exits the stage and by the soft blue hue in his face you knew he wasn't too happy.
However Jean Loo had approached him as soon as he left the backstage door. He looked at Jean Loo surprised, then back at you. You had been talking to Telly, who had made you chuckle. When you looked towards the stage as Johnny started singing Telly nudged you and waved at Volt, you looked at him staring you two down.
Jean Loo was relentless and had kept Volt until the end of Johnny’s set. Volt looked from Jean Loo to you, the whole time. He only looked relieved once Telly had moved on and you took their seat. You still sat without a drink, having forgotten to get Eddie. You turn around and see that Volt is gone once again. And you sigh as you wait for him to enter the stage. When he did, he reluctantly announced that Lil Crapper would be performing last tonight. While he waits for his queue to exit he looks at you, as if to warn he was coming.
The lighthearted conversation had helped you feel better. You thought maybe if you acted like nothing was worrying you it could help his mood? So as you read his threat from your spot at the bar you lazily put your tongue out in response to his look towards you. Typically this would be something he would have a more than positive reaction to but this brought back that soft blue color. You watch him walk off stage and stand from your seat and watch as Volt walks hurriedly down the aisle towards you.
“Hey! Eddie!” You say like a child in a game of tag, a hint of worry in your voice. You don’t run but you do quickly duck behind the bar where Eddie, with a note of concern, meets you. The concern only lasts until he sees Volt a few feet away, the faintest hint of blue on his cheeks.
“What did you do?” Eddie asks you as you slip behind him. Volt comes up to Eddie and crosses his arms. “Volt?”
“Eddie.” Volt says in a low voice as he walks up to Eddie “Move, I have something I’d like to talk to our little spark about~” Eddie puts a hand on Volt's chest, looking him in the eye, a silent conversation.
He glanced back at you as you buried your face in his back. He huffs and pushes his hair back “Sounds like this doesn’t involve me” he says softly before clearing his throat. Your face goes slack in surprise. “You’re just gonna talk, not like he’ll do anything more in my bar.” he motions to the office room as if to tell Volt to go “talk” to you there.
“Wait Eddieeee” you whine as he tries moving around you.
“Nope! All yours Volt!” he says as he walks away back to work. Volt’s eyes narrow on your scared flushed face. You smile nervously and put your hand in front of you like you would a bear.
“Now wait…” You take a step back as he steps forward. He starts to tie up his hair, a sign you recognize as him being serious about getting to you, typically in the bedroom. “I-Im sorry!” You try pleading with him only making his scoff as he closes the distance and grabs your hand. He pulls you into the office/stock room and shuts the door. He releases your hand and you run behind the desk. Your face is very red and your biting you lip trying to think of how to get out of your little mess.
Volt looks at you and sighs. His look softened just a bit “What were you trying to do, live wire?” He asks as he rubs his eyes annoyed.
You lower your guard since Volt has made no move towards you. “I- uh- when?” you ask a bit confused if he meant the situation with Tony or sticking your tongue at him.
He drops his hand in a fist and looks at you, his eyes and hair glowing just a bit brighter. “Out there, all night??” he tries his best not to get loud but you can see you have gotten to him. “You teasing me-“ he looks at you, his eyes burning with something more than anger. He looked hungry.
“To be fair you teased me for almost an hour! Then you stole my clothes!” You cross your arms “And I think one lost kiss is deserved for what you did” you pout.
Volt steps forward and you take a step back “You never got this angry before!” you protest, making Volt almost step back. “I’ve denied you kisses and stuck my tongue out at you before and you never got this mad!”
He growls and shakes his head “I don't care about that! Why are you out there flirting with everyone!” You pause, confused.
“What do you mean! Eddie??” you asked, hands flying out to your side.
“No.” he said with another step forward “With them!” he fumes while he gestures wildly to the bar.
“I wasn't ‘flirting with people’.” You say mockingly by putting it in air quotes. In your anger you turn your back and sit on the desk. “Barry was just saying hi! He hugged me because he does that to everyone! I think Rainey and Tony drank too much. I know he likes me but he is my friend.” You turn around, knowing Volt is at the desk by now. But when you turn he reacts shocked as your now angry eyes burn holes into him. “I can't imagine that you might mean how I had a conversation with Telly too- or how I cheered for my friend who was going to perform!” You scan his face as it fall with disappointment in himself. You turn back around and continue. “I love you and Eddie… I let you tease me for an hour!” you say pulling up your sleeve and showing the hickies on your wrist. “You did this because you love me and I love you..” You sigh loudly and put a hand on your face.
Volt came around the desk by now, his hands gently grabbing your arms. They pull your hand from your face and slide down to hold both of your hands. “I’m sorry I got upset.” he mumbled, his usual cool suave attitude depleted. You look up and see pink on his cheeks and a look of embarrassment and shame. You squeeze his hands. “I guess I- thought you were really mad at me. And I was afraid you were flirting with people to upset me” He huffs heavily “I shouldn't have teased you so much” his voice trails as he tries to find his words again.
You lean your head into his chest, your hands squeezing tighter. “Maybe you're the one who needs to remember who you can trust…” you mutter. You both were still upset but being apart right now would have felt worse. You raised one of his hands and kissed it gently. You can feel your anger simmer into tears stinging your eyes. You sigh heavily as you let them drip.
After a few moments Volt steps back and you look at him he pulls you close and tugs at his collar “Go ahead and help me remember..” He says his face is still full of embarrassment but also a hint of desire. “Please…” he mumbles out.
You lean down, your face red and gently attach your lips to his neck. His hands find your hips and hold you as one knee settles between his thighs on the chair. You nibble roughly into him, making him feel the pain and love you’ve felt all night. A reminder to trust you, to remember you love him. He groaned quietly as you worked on him.
Soon enough Eddie knocks on the door and yells it's almost time for the last call. You pulled away from Volts neck to see his blushing delighted face, tear streaked. “I love you live wire.” he whispers desperately. You smile and nuzzle your forehead against his.
“Oh Volt..” You squish his face. “Go upstairs and fix yourself up!” You say lovingly as you wipe away the tears from his blotchy cheeks. “I’ll help Eddie close up.” You see the words of protest on his lips, so you kiss them away. He moans desperately into your mouth. When you pull away you can feel him tugging you back. “Volt…” You break free and he sighs.
“Fine..” he stands and kisses your forehead. Another knock and he sighs heavily. “Coming!” he hollers to Eddie. He takes your hand more gently this time and leads you out of the room.
