Nice. If Mercury wasn’t so skeptical at this point he might have laughed at that. That was not a word he’d ever associate with himself. Sitting on the edge of his bed, Mercury laid back, arms folded behind his head as he watched her. Whatever was bothering her, he didn’t particularly like it. He’d suspected that she probably regretted it but her words were in complete contradiction. Scoffing a laugh at her words, Mercury tried not to think too much about the property damage they’d caused. “Cheaper too,” he drawled. What did she want from him? To figure out where they went from here? Because, truth be told, Mercury didn’t have a clue. There were a lot of variables that Mercury had to take into account. What if they were sent back? Whether he wanted to or not didn’t matter, he’d have no choice to go back to Salem. If he didn’t he’d be killed or, worse, Emerald or Cinder would pay for it. Or if Cinder herself showed up here.. Damn it, he couldn’t help but overthink everything himself. “Personally I was going to say ‘it was hot and much better than getting my skull cracked’ but, sure, we’ll go with nice. Ten out of ten: would fuck again. So.. what now?”

——— as she got dressed, yang had to remind herself to keep her back straight, her eyes turned upward, to FAKE it the best she could. she’d done it before, acted for the sake of getting by, but never quite like this. mercury seemed satisfied, and who was she to step in and mess it up with something like FEELINGS ? there was no part of her that knew where they would GO after this, in terms of their... whatever. it wasn’t a friendship, not by a long shot, and it wasn’t exactly a frienemies-with-benefits relationship either. they could tolerate each other, but only up to a point, then it always dissolved into VIOLENCE. “ i don’t think i’d be able to crack that thick skull of yours anyways. ” she scrunched up her nose at him and laughed at his comment, and took to getting on her underwear and shorts. “ well, ” she began,turning away, looking down, pulling up her underwear. “ i’m going to be a good girl and help you clean up downstairs. and then i’m gonna go home, i guess. ” ‘i guess’. it was almost SHAMEFUL, how thick the emotion was in those two words alone.

she smiled a bit wider when she heard that other people were in the business of baddie-bashing. “I agree, it’s good to hear that I’m not alone in that aspect. at least I don’t have to hide my true identity.” she told her. “are you from here?” she asked, curiously.

——— well, if the girl wasn’t a SUPERHERO, what was she? yang couldn’t help but wonder, but she knew she would like the redhead. “ not a lot of people do, ” she agreed with a laugh. “ the last superhero i met, he was really obvious with his whole alter ego thing. he was a total golden-heart type though. ” a little nod, the memory of the british boy in blue making the blonde SMILE. “ nah. i’m from a kingdom called vale, but i’ve been here for a month or so now. ” remembering how SHE had started off, she asked the other girl, “ i’m guessing you got an address and a house key, right ? ” there it was, her classic half-smile again.

“Rhetorical question. Lets not ruin today with tragically boring backstories,” Mercury called from behind a closed door, a hint of amusement still evident in his voice. Dressing himself from the hips down, Mercury spared a glance to the mirror. His scars were more prominent with the flush of heat still radiating from him. Swallowing, Mercury turned his head away. Yang didn’t seem to mind them.. Maybe he really should just.. accept them. Considering he’d come in without picking up his shirt maybe he already started to. Smiling to himself briefly, Mercury bit it back before exiting the bathroom again, eyes falling on Yang. In an instant Mercury knew something was OFF. She didn’t harbour that happy glow anymore. Without really thinking about it, Mercury snatched his shirt off the bedroom floor and shrugged it on almost defensively. So much for that thought. “You know, I was joking when I asked if I was good,” Mercury pipped, pulling his shirt down to cover his scars. Somehow that was his way of asking what her problem was. She’d been just fine when he left.

——— she was sort of kneeling, sort of squatting, hands hovering over her shirt and sports bra, face SMEARED with feeling. she didn’t mean to let herself break in such a way - the only people she’d EVER let her see break were her family - but it slipped and she was DOWN, thinking she had more time to be alone. mercury had SEEN yang, yet when she looked up, she had a half-smile fixed on her lips, doing her best to pretend like the thought of them going back to wailing on each other after this didn’t upset her just the TINIEST bit. “ shut up. ” there was NO anger in it, despite the shake of the head, blonde curls falling around her face. it was with that that she looked away - why she had nothing MORE to say was because she didn’t feel like he was the TYPE to get all sentimental - grabbed her clothes, and began redressing. “ you did just fine, merc, ” she continued. “ it was nice. ” she paused, realizing that was a dumb way to put it. “ a lot healthier than breaking chairs against each other’s backs. ” she shrugged and laughed as she got her tanktop on over her head, smoothing it out. lavender eyes finally flicked over to meet his, the question now SILENTLY posed between them - how did you like it ?

——— there were a LOT of reasons why she was the way she was; mercury’s comment expressing so just made her laugh. “ a lot of reasons that you would get really bored with really fast, ” yang quipped back, arms raising UP over her head, stretching lazily, comfortably, much like a dozing cat. she was sort of doing it on PURPOSE, knowing his steel-tinted eyes were trailing over her curves, admiring her flushed skin, her glowing smile, everything she was at that moment. when the bed shifted, the blonde called to him, “ see ! i haven’t even started telling the story and you’re all ready gone ! ” but she was LAUGHING; there was no ill-intent in her words. sitting up slowly, she too knew she needed to get ready to go. if at any point she DID regret what she had done - the word would no doubt get around to emerald soon enough - at least it was a healthy outlet. this isn’t a fallback plan. you two aren’t friends with benefits.you’re barely friends, her inner voice piped up as she reached for her tanktop and bra, the thought making her stall in getting dressed.

the girl that sam had approached might’ve thrown some people off but the metal arm didn’t deter sam. being in a new place, her senses were heightened of course and she was checking her back for baddies. the blonde didn’t make her nervous though. “thank you, glad to know I haven’t time traveled or left earth. been there done that.” she said with a smile. “oh thank you.” sam smiled at the compliment. “not quite a superhero but something like that.” 

[sunnylittledragcn-a-blog]

——— even though it seemed like an otherwise CASUAL comment, yang couldn’t help but raise a blonde brow in response. time travelling and leaving earth. well, the girl had just OFFICIALLY surprised her for the first time in a long time. “ ‘course, ” she replied, deciding NOT to bring any of that up just yet. the redhead seemed sweet enough, maybe they’d end up FRIENDS. “ i’m about the same way. ” a light chuckle. “ a pretty surprising amount of people here that consider themselves superheroes, or something like that, ” she continued. “ good to know fighting bad guys is a pretty universal concept. ” because NONE of them were from whatever current world they were stranded in, no matter how CLOSE to their seattle it seemed like.

——— everything came undone at ONCE, him and her, together, FINALLY able to work together to do something. yang made no sudden movements after the world came back into focus, just as he, taking a few moments to catch her breath, slow her heart down, STABILIZE. she was spent, honestly, a mild surprise considering she was, well, who she was. when mercury unwound himself from her, rolled O F F, the blonde found nothing but a warm, mellow feeling settling just under her skin. his words were LOW in volume, but held the same sort of high-and-mightiness that she was all too used to. she closed her lavender eyes, smiled her signature half-smile, and arched her back just a bit, giving him room to take BACK his arm. “ definitely one of my more interesting romps, ” she commented mildly, an ODD sort of agreement, one she smiled more over, because who even said ‘romp’ anymore ? “ don’t let me keep you. ” even though she could hear it, how much he DISLIKED the idea of getting up to do anything at the moment. it’d take her a few more moments to regain her composure; she’d probably be able to run a MARATHON after this.

sam looked around, she definitely wasn’t in cali anymore. she rolled her eyes slightly, this must’ve been one of jerry’s tricks again. he was always “whooping” her and the other girls away on a mission. but as she looked around, she didn’t see clover or alex. furrowing her brows a bit, she knew she had to find out more information about this place. she looked around, analyzing the people around her to find one that didn’t look too intimidating. her eyes landed on someone and she began to approach them, still wearing her green spy suit. “excuse me. could you tell me where I am? also, have you seen two other girls come by here. one with short blonde hair and the other with dark hair. they would probably be wearing something similar to this but in red and yellow.” she described, pointing to her suit. 

[sunnylittledragcn-a-blog]

——— despite the METAL arm and wild hair, yang liked to believe she was approachable. she was nice, had a little sister, made jokes and was DECENT with puns. sure, her facial features were a bit SHARPER than most, and her voice carried, but she was just another kid in seattle who didn’t know how they got there but was doing their BEST to make the most out of it. when she was approached by a girl with fiery red hair, she was ALMOST reminded of pyrrha, which made her smile just a bit. “ seattle, ” she replied simply. “ the year is twenty-seventeen. planet is earth. ” if it wasn’t OBVIOUS how many times she’d been asked the question of where they were, it would be now. “ and i haven’t off-hand, no. but i do dig the jumpsuit. ” yang, don’t be weird. “ superhero ? ” she asked, nodding toward the girl. there were QUITE a few of those running around seattle.

——— yang was not a BEGGAR.

she found begging to be demeaning; she’d rather FIGHT for what she wanted than go asking for handouts. she didn’t need to beg mercury to keep going, didn’t NEED to give him the satisfaction of hearing her break down like that. but fuck, she was TOO close to not. if mercury stopped, slowed down, if he did ANYTHING different, she’d fall apart, and not in the way they wanted. he was close too. she could only assume so, at least, his words a response to hers, a MILD surprise considering the kind of words she could get out. hearing him, breathy and struggling, tell her it was on HER to come first, she took a breath in through her mouth, tilting her head back, and the pressure in her POPPED like a balloon, warmth rushing to her legs. there was a strong urge to dig her fingers into his back, but she couldn’t, she WOULDN’T, and her hands hit the bed instead, bunching up the sheets into her fists. with a hand on her lower back, she arched a little more, mouth falling open. “ mercury. ” as she said it, her face flushed again, a glowing smile OVERCOMING her facial plane, ecstasy hitting her like a punch in the chest.

“That’s…incredible!  If we had this information back home. . “  He is in awe.  He will admit that it’s things like that that makes this place…somewhat better than he thinks.  “Does it hurt when you have to latch it on again?”  

——— he was REPEATING himself, maybe in awe, maybe in disgust. as yang reattached her arm, she replied, “ it doesn’t hurt, no. sorta tingles just after it all settles back in, t’ be honest. ” she chuckled. “ i think that’s the nerves reconnecting with the wiring. ” OUTSTRETCHING her hand, she offered it for him to shake. “ yang. ”

——— the trembling could be mistaken for something caused by ecstasy, but she knew BETTER.

just as he had found her weak point all those weeks ago - the white fang - she had found his, manifested in the SCARS criss-crossing across his body. then he relaxed, he was TRUSTING her, and for once, yang was entirely certain mercury wasn’t lying to her. they were on the same page, in the same moment, entwined, TOGETHER. he actually CARED. her chest felt tight as he kissed her, not for the lack of breath, but because caring so much so suddenly had SPOOKED her. when she pulled away, her breath came back in soft, short gasps. “ don’t stop, ” she murmured, nose brushing his again, eyelids fluttering. “ please. ” there was a tone of BEGGING, a tone she would later not be all that proud of, but she was close. she wanted to fall apart WRAPPED around him.

when her hands were RELEASED, they immediately found their back into his hair.

there was no immediate pull, no surprise roughness, just winding in and STAYING there, a comfortable place. it was EASY, keeping her hands there, with mercury’s head tucked into the dip of her collarbone, moans softly vibrating against her skin, her SCAR. he was so close; he probably didn’t realize how oddly intimate it had become. the place where the scar ended was her HEART. yang had felt the heat of FIRE before, thanks to her semblance. she didn’t feel BURNING, no intimidating heat and blistering flush. she felt like she was GLOWING, radiating a certain type of happiness that ONLY came from sex. she was FINE with the fact that he had brought it on. being lifted just slightly, chest meeting chest, her hands unwound from his hair, finding his back, an EASIER position to hold her to. under her hands were SCARS, she could feel them, and god, they actually hurt her heart. she nudged his cheek with her nose, huffing out moans with each quickened thrust into her, a signal. hey. kiss me.

parkourmaster:

he gives her a big grin. “we’re sort of famous back home, saved the city a bunch of times.” both were true, although their fame hadn’t always been a positive thing. “yeah, of course. prepare to be amazed.” x-ray took a small step away from the girl and looked around until he spotted a nearby dumpster, thankfully pushed up near a wall that had a fire escape ladder. there’s another look around before he takes off running, jumping with the intent to get on top of the dumpster but his foot caught the edge and he could feel himself falling hitting the ground with a slightly pained cry of “parkour!”

——— she was FAMOUS too, in a different sort of way. but she didn’t want to rain on the boy’s parade, so she stood back and watched with curiosity. his eyes seemed to land on the same thing HERS did: a dumpster against a wall, a fire escape ladder hanging CLOSE by. clasping her hands in front of her, yang watched the boy take off, running jumping, CATCHING on the edge of the square trash bin, hitting the ground with a strangled ‘parkour!’. despite her SNICKERING, she approached, holding out her metal hand. “ that was pretty good, ” she told him, grin W I D E, sort of shit-eating, meaning it in a completely different way than he probably wanted. “ you got guts, specs. i like that. ” of all people to respect those with COURAGE, it was her.

——— letting the PUSH move her, yang fell back onto the bed with a breathless smile, back hitting mattress with the slightest of bounces.

scooting up just a bit to give mercury room, she found a comfortable position as he kissed her, hand finding wrist, dragging them UP above her head. oh, so that was how they were going to play it. there was no real FIGHT; she could easily throw him off, but to temporarily surrender control like THIS, with mercury, was actually okay. she kind of TRUSTED him. pulling away, keeping her wrists in his hands and their eyes locked, he finally slid into her, eyelids FLUTTERING. “ fuck. ” she tilted her head back, sighing the curse in a type of CONTENT, giving her body a moment to adjust, to feel the satisfaction slowly pool in the spot just below her stomach. his free hand found her breast, squeezed gently; she’d forgotten just how SENSITIVE her chest was. it earned another gentle moan, only cut off by a sharp gasp as he thrust back into her. he could keep going like this and she’d end up an unintelligible MESS by the end of it. the softer way wasn’t something she was exactly USED to, but she liked it a lot.

“I promise I won’t freak out.”  He wants to say nothing will freak out a knight, but he doesn’t know how that will sound and she’s kind enough to show him even if it makes her uncomfortable.  

——— with a final RAISE of her brow, yang took back her arm. with a few presses inward for the latches and a half-turn, her METAL arm from the elbow joint down popped out of the socket. “ ta-da. ” the blonde held the arm back OUT to the boy. “ can’t feel a thing now, ” she explained, COMMON knowledge to her, but going in-depth for her. “ the latches up top are what connect it to my nervous system and muscles. that’s what help me use it. ” it wasn’t UNCOMFORTABLE for her, explaining the specifics of her arm, but it was definitely different. the only other person she had done this with was her FATHER.

——— she could feel it, his EYES, grabbing onto the different parts of her -  bruises and scars, flesh and bone - and not letting her go.

yang kept her eyes away from his, lest he see just how AWARE she was of it, aware of the lingering on her permanent marks, where shoulder socket met metal almost seamlessly. she ignored his STRUGGLE with his pants, keeping her eyes trained to his branded chest but the smile on her face. she didn’t MIND it, really, even thought it sort of CUTE that he wanted out of them so badly but being careful with them. lavender hues glanced up, met with gray, and LOCKED, blinking back any wariness she was feeling with his and putting her mind at ease. it’s going to be all right. you’re practically one in the same. when mercury leaned in, her heart skipped a beat, settling back into its quick rhythm when lips met throat, met BRUISE, and she inhaled sharply when teeth punctuated his action.

his words vibrated against her throat, and she had to hold BACK a snort. honors. the most practice she had putting on condoms was the STEREOTYPICAL sex ed class stuff with the banana. but she could do it. her hands were steady and sure, feigning professionalism like a PRO. rolling the protection down the length of his shaft, she NUDGED his cheek with her nose. “ you’re good, ” she murmured, voice heavy with implication. take me.

“Imagine if we had this…so many of my knights could have lived.”  He takes a closer look, he carefully touch it.  “How amazing, how do they put it on.”  He doesn’t want her to be uncomfortable so he stops touching and looking at it.  

[sunnylittledragcn-a-blog]

——— she stayed quiet as he ADMIRED her arm, chin in hand, smile no longer cocky, but warm. it wasn’t OFTEN yang let people do that, stare so openly, but the kid seemed KIND enough. at his question, she looked up to him. “ i mean, i can show you, ” she offered. “ it’s a couple latches and a twist. ” it might scare him, her LITERALLY removing her whole arm, but it might be fun. “ you just gotta promise me to not freak out, all right ? ” she sat up straight and tall, tank top being the only border between flesh and metal.

thccomicsans:

Watching the second dog approach his, sans sighed when Annoying Dog refused to share. “come on, a.d., there’s not even any meat on it..” Relenting, sans flicked his hand upwards this time, a few bones shooting out of the ground. No wonder dogs loved him.. Blinking at her words, he glanced back at her. Frowning in thought, sans tried(and failed) to understand his own apparently unintentional pun. “i’m a disgrace. a fraud. i missed a pun, didn’t i?”

——— despite not wanting to draw ATTENTION to his abilities - that would be like drawing attention to her arm, wouldn’t it ? - she watched him conjure more bones for the pups. she LAUGHED again, a soft sound, but a genuine one. “ delinquents. riot. y’know, rebellion ? ” in some ways, puns WEREN’T as funny when they were explained, but yang didn’t want to leave him completely oblivious. “ maybe that’s a bit of a stretch, ” she mused aloud, smile mimicking her tone, soft. “ you’re rubbing off on me, sans. ” as if he HADN’T been doing so for the past few hours.
