~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
quick author note: spoilers for Tamsy's character if you haven't read past chapter 92 of the manga, other than that please enjoy my fully self indulgent cringey fanfic i made in the wee hours of the morning :p
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tamsy watched from afar as this new Supporter had taken it upon herself to be a motherly type to Rudo and the other kids around HQ. Your praises and cheers of encouragement had them hanging onto every word. What annoyed him was you were only about a year or so younger than him. Best you could possibly get away with was cool older sister, aunt maybe, but he could tell. The way they looked at you with adoration and craved your attention screamed child looking for a mother. A role you filled and filled well.
Your background as a Viander had been the main reason why you had been accepted into the Cleaners. A sad backstory told to a bleeding heart like Corvus's and you were in. Though you did provide good meals your specialty was sweets. Even Tamsy had a hard time denying that your cakes and pastries were some of the best he'd had in his lifetime.
He watched, curiously, at your approach. Right for him no less. Turning his body to face you instead of just watching from the corner of his eyes, making it seem like he just noticed you. A tray in your hands, held close with cupcakes on them. He glanced over to the kids, realizing you had distracted them with what seemed to be a game. Eating without using their hands. Guita face-planted into her cupcake immediately, getting frosting and sprinkles all over her face.
"Tams," the nickname fell off your tongue so naturally yet got his attention all the same, "better grab one before they finish them off." The smile on your face fell when you looked back at the group.
"Finished!" Rudo jumped up excited, his face covered. By the time he looked back to you there was a cupcake being held out to him. He took it just as he watched you bend down to wipe off Rudo's face, the others crowding around you for more cupcakes only to get the same treatment.
Thats when Tamsy had the best idea. He already took away Rudos father, taking away his mother would be the next big push. Of course the closer the teen got with you, the more rewarding it would be. Getting you out of cleaner HQ was the real challenge though. You were almost always here, not even leaving for groceries since the other Vianders brought everything you needed. Essentially you were a hermit, living at HQ and using practically all of your time cooking or baking. Then he remembered, it was always a rare occasion, the nights you would get all dolled up and go out on some kind of date. If memory served correctly, you claimed you were hunting for a boyfriend but were coming up empty handed. You just had to meet the right person if he recalled your conversation with Tomme. Thankfully to him you weren't horrible to look at.
...
Humming to a song on the radio you pulled another tray out of the oven and took in a deep breath. Freshly baked anything would never get old. You were in a good mood today, having found a date through the grapevine. That was a lie. The grapevine was Semiu who set something up for you and said that she was stupid for not trying it sooner. When you talked with Tomme about it she seemed to know who it was, teasing you about it before helping you pick out an outfit. The time passed faster than expected. When baking it seemed to be the case, even if you were waiting to go on this mystery date. You left a note for the kids, telling them to let the cookies and tarts cool.
While getting ready you tried to wrack your brain over who it could be. Not somebody you'd gone out with before but clearly someone they knew if they weren't telling you a name. Still, you got ready as usual, even putting in a little extra effort into doing a cute hairstyle. Tomme had agreed to drive you since she wanted to get more camera film anyway.
Getting dropped off you waved to Tomme as she drove away leaving you standing in front of the restaurant. Once alone you could feel the nerves gnawing at your very core. It wasn't usually like this but maybe that's because the other dates you'd went on were kinda shit. If even Semiu insisted on this it had to be a pretty good match in her eyes and her eyes don't lie. Still, you braced yourself, clutching your purse and heading inside. Tomme said it would be the booth in the corner on the far left wall. Scanning the room your eyes landed on the booth, the back of a head of blond hair caught your attention. The staff greeted you and already knew the drill, the host wished you luck this time. Your arrival at the table had you locking eyes with none other than Tamsy.
"Tamsy?" Sliding into the seat across from him he greeted you with a polite smile. As you looked him over your face warmed, truth be told he had always been attractive to you.
"I'm glad you made it, how was the drive?"
"The drive was alright, nothing out of the ordinary." A waiter had brought some waters before grabbing the drink order.
Tamsy had been thrilled. After dropping subtle hints for the last month or so, thank God for your obliviousness, Semiu had approached him on the matter. The woman had done all of the work for him, even told him that when you first joined the Cleaners you had a bit of a crush on him. Before deciding that dating coworkers likely wasn't smart, you'd be right about that. He watched as you fiddled with your hands under the table, carrying on the conversation with a light blush dusting your cheeks. You were absolutely adorable, he couldn't wait to kill you.
The night carried on, after dinner you both walked around town. Even leaving the city walls just to watch the sunset and chat longer. Finally the time came where you had to say goodbye...for now. You were going to see him back at HQ. In the car Tomme kept asking you questions on how it went and the entire ride home was you gushing over your date.
"I've never seen this reaction before after one of your dates." The woman laughed, glancing at you briefly before her eyes went back to the road.
"I know- I just- I've always had a bit of a crush on him but I told myself I wouldn't ever pursue coworkers," sighing you looked out the window, "did that at my last job and things did not end well." Tomme gave a sympathetic look.
"Well, Tamsy is much nicer than that jerk."
"I hope so, tonight went great, we already set up another date." Tomme was unable to help but turn her head to you.
"Oh damn, normally you're a one date kinda girl." Waving your hands at her, attempting to make her pay attention to the road again.
"That's cause none of them were like...this," you thought for a moment, "maybe its because of my ex that I worry okay, looks can be deceiving." Back to fiddling with the hem of your skirt.
"Not that I've dated him, obviously, but I think you should definitely give the guy a chance," she sighed, "I didn't want to spill this but he really likes you, he had been dropping hints for the last month and it got so bad Semiu had to step in and helped the guy." Once you processed her words the heat on your face was intense.
"Really?" Your voice betrayed you, coming out in an embarrasing squeak.
"Why do you think we didn't tell you who it was until you saw him for yourself!" Now it felt as if Tomme was teasing you, she absolutely was.
Thankfully for your sake, the ride to headquarters wasn't that much longer. Her teasing stopped the moment you entered the building. Semiu didnt even need to ask questions by the way Tomme gave her a huge thumbs up. Retreating to your bedroom, throwing your body down on your bed before kicking your feet in excitement. It was stupid. This was stupid. One date and you were already so excited for the next.
....
It was official, your relationship with Tamsy had reached the point where it began affecting your baking. The kids definitely noticed after yet another batch of cookies came out shaped like hearts.
"Hey why do you keep making heart shaped things?" Rudo was the first to ask, out of everyone.
"Because I-"
"She's in love!" Guita jumped up in excitement.
"No way!" Rudo was in shock.
"Yes way, look at how red her face got," Riyo had spoken up now, "must be one lucky guy, so who is it?" Riyo munched on one of the cookies while staring directly at you.
"That is not something you kids need to know...or worry about." You picked up the now empty tray, hurriedly walking back into the kitchen area to hide from their prying questions.
You had been working on supper for everyone when the call came in. It turned the cheerful atmosphere into chaos and dread. Delmon called in for backup saying that some marauders had gotten the jump on him and Tamsy. The world for you seemed to slow as the others rushed into action. Normally you would stay behind, normally. But hearing that Tamsy could be injured made you stir into action.
"Wait, you're joining us?" Riyo looked at you in surprise when you nodded, "but its dangerous."
"I don't care." She studied your face for a second before her eyes lit up.
"You love one of them don't you?" A blush spread across your face like a wildfire. Your silence spoke volumes.
When piling into the car there were some odd looks thrown your way but nobody questioned your participation. Extra hands were always nice. The drive there was quiet, air thick with tension while the car bumped and jolted from the various debris Enjin purposefully ran over. He didn't even have the radio on thats how serious he was. Unsure of what would be awaiting your arrival at the scene. Your stomach sunk at the sight of fighting in the distance. Enjin stopped the car a safe distance away. Everybody got out and rushed to step in, of course at the sight of backup the marauders ran off.
Tamsy knew he had you wrapped around his every word the moment he watched you practically jump out of that vehicle. Two months in and you were already willing to leave that safe haven of yours. When you had practically jumped into his arms, telling him you were so worried, he reassured you dutifully. Like any good partner would he wiped away your tears and watched with a sick satisfaction they way you clung to him. So desperate. So needy. He couldn't have chosen somebody better for this. While you buried yourself further into his embrace he glanced over at Rudo, the boy was watching with curious eyes. His motherly figure was being slowly but surely getting tangled in the webs and there was nothing he could do about it.
The car ride back you had insisted on sitting next to Him. Holding onto his hand the entire ride despite falling asleep not even halfway through. You hadn't woken up even when they tried to shake you awake. It seemed you worked yourself up with so much worry that the second you knew he was okay you collapsed. So he carried you, certain that if you were awake when he did this you would be out of your mind embarrassed.
"So when did you two become an item?" Enjin was the first to speak up.
"Two months ago."
"Two-Two months?!" The shock on the idiots face was priceless, "is that why shes been making everything into heart shapes lately?" That made the man laugh, careful not to wake you. It didn't go unnoticed, your food reflected your feelings but nobody questioned your recent bout of treats.
"If I'm responsible for that then I'm flattered." When you stirred in his arms he shot a look to Enjin, the man had a knowing smile on his face while throwing up his hands.
Tamsy carried you all the way up to your bedroom, a place he had only been when snooping around. Shutting the door with his foot he brought you over and laid you down on your bed. He stood above you, watching the way your chest would rise and fall. Leaning down and carefully brushing your hair from your face. He could do something, you wouldn't mind he was certain, but patience was a virtrue. Stringing you along a little longer would only ensure you were properly snared in his trap.
As soon as he left your bedroom there were people waiting like a bunch of creeps. Fantastic.
As soon as the door clicked shut you burst up from your bed, taking in a big gulp of air and patting your cheeks to really make sure you weren't just dreaming. He was in your bedroom, he carried you in from the car, he was so so close to you. You were unable to stop yourself from rolling around on your bed and grinning like an idiot.
You were totally screwed.
...
Since the somewhat secret was out about yours and Tamsy's budding relationship, you had been informed whenever he came back froma a mission. Your nights going on dates didn't stop either, once a week at least you both hit up the next town and enjoyed some time away from headquarters.
Normally you would stay back whenever Tamsy went on missions but lately you'd wanted to venture out. Really see what your boyfriend could do. When finally bringing it up one night he seemed thrilled at the idea. He of course had his concerns over if you should but ultimately it was your choice.
In the car you kept stealing glances at Tamsy. Hand on the wheel and looking straight ahead. You thought that some supporters would be joining but they apparently weren't needed for such a simple mission, as he'd put it.
"Are you nervous?" Its as if he read your mind.
"Of course I'm nervous, I don't usually get to see what you have to deal with on a daily basis."
"Don't worry about it, all you have to do is watch," he hummed, "and look pretty." He added, the compliment making your heart flutter. Four months dating and simple compliments from him still made you want to lose it.
"What if something happens?"
"If something happens you have me." He placed a hand atop yours, giving it a squeeze.
Things devolved when he parked and before leaving the car you very quickly kissed him on the cheek. By the time you got out of the car he was already there, it was very fast but he had placed a kiss on your forehead before walking off as if he were innocent. You were stunned for a moment before running to catch up to him.
Ok so something happened.
Tamsy knew this would be the perfect opportunity to have you die in a tragic accident. Your bond with Rudo had grown to the point he nearly called you mom several times. You had willingly done everything he had wanted, he felt he barely had to do anything. Yet why, when you screamed in fear, did he feel this way? It was like his body moved on its own to protect you from the trash beast. The intention was to let just a small one make it through then you would be history. Yet, horrified at the realization, he couldn't let that happen. In just four months he was wrapped around your every word. Unfortunately for him while he was protecting you, he had taken the hit instead, but you were safe. Were you saying something? Your mouth was moving but he couldn't hear you. He could simply watch as your eyes grew wide before you grabbed his jacket and pulled him out of the way.
You were freaking out, Tamsy was dazed to the point you didn't even think he could hear you. His movements were sluggish even when you pulled him out of the way from an oncoming attack. As the trash beast unleashed a smoke you quickly put your mask on before putting on his. Lying him down on the ground gently you gave him your best convincing thumbs up.
It had been a while since you had last used your Vital Instrument for violence but the situation called for it. As the trash beast approached you readied your spatula, it grew to a massive size. The beast was spewing more smoke clouds as it charged for an attack. Readying up you struck the beast with a big swing of your spatula. Following up with smacking it into the ground while it was stumbling. Thats all it took before it started crumbling into dust. You recalled your instrument, wiping it off and tucking it back into your bag. Once you made sure there were no other threats Tamsy was your top priority. He was standing up, using Tokushin as a brace, watching you with wide eyes. You rushed to his side, helping him get back to the car. He opted for the back seat.
"I didn't know you could use your jinki like that."
"It's a very rare occurrence that I- oh?" You had been pulled into the back of the vehicle, right on top of him. As your hips pressed into his you could feel the raging hard on he had. Reduced to nothing but a stammering mess above him he simply laughed.
The look he gave you made you want to dive into the deep end but you couldn't, he was injured and he needed medical attention. But the way his hands held your hips and that look he gave you made your resolve crumble very quickly.
Clothes had been lost, strewn about the front dash and seats of the car. Tamsy sat up, catching your lips with his own, leading you down with him. Your hands fumbled to find a decent place to rest while tongues swapped spit and teeth bit. Pulling away you needed to catch your breath, lips a little swollen from the sucking and biting. His hips ground up into yours, the action had you bracing your hands onto his chest. Beneath you, his two toned hair splayed on the seats of the car, staring up at you with blown out eyes.
He was beautiful.
Ethereal even.
Angelic.
"What are you smiling about?" His words brought you back and you hummed.
"A lot of things."
"Oh? What kind of things?" He sat up, holding one of your hands while his other hung onto your hip.
"You." A small peck placed oh so gently onto his nose made him let out a laugh.
"C'mere." Pulling you back in, this time you didn't want to surface for air.
Open mouthed kisses trailed down from your neck over your chest, teasing sensitive buds before you just couldn't take it anymore. Finding the band of your panties, the worn elastic easy to slip down only getting stuck when you couldn't quite wiggle out of them. He got the message, pulling away to help peel away the pair of underwear coated in your arousal. You went to reach for his but he stopped you from doing so, a teasing smile on his lips before leaning you back. He had you caged in, one of his hands resting against the car window while his other started collecting the slick that began pooling. You watched curiously as he slid one finger in with ease, pumping a few times before adding another. His eyes met yours, watching your reaction closely while he added a third. Your breathing hitched at the stretch it gave, eyes not once straying from his gaze.
Lips smashed together in another bout of passion. Tongues and teeth colliding once more while his fingers found their lazy pace pumping into you. A whine left your throat when he eased up, pulling his fingers out of you briefly before you felt the head of his cock, hot and heavy press against you. His lips trailed from your mouth to nibbling onto your neck.
"May I?"
"Yes," you huffed out, "fuck...please." Those last two words escaped you, a mix of frustration and impatience.
He chuckled, burying your neck in kisses and coating himself in your arousal before diving in. Hips pushing forward, stretching you open more than his fingers could've possibly prepared you for. It was delicious, had your mind going numb when he pulled you up again to lift you onto his cock and spear you onto it. His thighs met yours as you slotted together perfectly. He only waited a moment before moving, leaving you scrambling to grab ahold of his shoulders. Any sounds that were about to leave you got swallowed up by him. Every little gasp and moan, every sigh and whine, found its way into his mouth. The lewd sounds of your wet thighs slapping against his made you glad to not be in HQ at the moment.
He released your lips, breathing heavy as his brow furrowed. Skin shining with sweat while burying himself into you as deep as possible with each thrust. Your mewls and moans only driving him closer to the edge, a symphony of your sounds that filled the vehicle. He hit a spot deep within you that made you babble something out, unable to form proper words. He hit it again and again and again. Your body grew rigid, heat flooding through you, thighs gripping him tight.
Coming down from your high you met his eyes. Panicked for some reason.
"What's wrong?" He simply looked down, guiding you to look at the mess between your thighs. It made you blush, how filthy.
"I came inside."
Shit.
After getting dressed and making each other look presentable the first stop before going back to HQ was the doctor. Tamsy paid for the contraceptive, though you weren't entirely sure if he felt guilty or not.
...
Tamsy only had one option left. Your bond with Rudo had grown even stronger and his original plan of killing you was off the table because of his own sick dependency. Still, he knew of a perfect place, somewhere you would be safe but also couldn't leave or even be found for that matter. The minute you said yes to joining him on his vacation you were his for certain now. You followed him so blindly, trusting his every word.
The moment he made a clone out of strings you could've sworn your heart began to break as the wings on its back grew. Piecing together what he was hiding from you and exactly what he had done. He didn't care about your cries for him to stop simply knocked you out before getting ready to take off.
When you woke up, your head was throbbing. The light coming in from the window was blinding. Sitting up in the bed you looked around, the bedroom was massive and spotless. Even the bed you were on and the bedsheets, stark white with golden accents. Then you noticed your clothes had been changed, a simple white nightgown with the same golden accents. Getting out of the bed, you barely had time to process what was happening before the door opened. Tamsy walked in, hair down, looking at you with concern.
"You woke up." You had rushed to him, noting the very fancy clean looking clothes he was wearing.
"Tams, what's happening? Where are we?"
"Hey, hey its okay," he sat you down on the bed, "we're on the sphere."
"What?" He kept you from panicking. You couldn't even remember what led to this? He asked you to go with him for a vacation but-
"It's no big deal, we're just visiting."
"The sphere?" you wracked your brain, "if you were able to go between the ground and the sphere why didnt you tell anyone? why didn't you tell rudo?" He played with a loose strand of your hair
"You understand the view people on the ground have towards the sphere, as for Rudo, he needs to figure it out on his own or he'll never grow," he sighed, "I've been trying my best to push him in the right direction." You studied his face but he was so hard to read in this moment.
You believed him, stupidly.
Unable to hide your excitement as you gushed to him about when you got back to the ground. You couldn't wait to help him guide and nuture Rudo towards his goal. Your boyfriend would smile and encourage you. After a few weeks he pulled out a book, holding it out in front of you as if showing it to you. A blinding light overtook your vision and you passed out.

Even the bed you were on and the bedsheets, stark white with golden accents. Then you noticed your clothes had been changed, a simple white nightgown with the same golden accents.

"You woke up." You had rushed to him, noting the very fancy clean looking clothes he was wearing.
"Tams, what's happening? Where are we?" He hugged you close leaving you unable to see the wide grin on his face.
"It's okay, we're on the sphere."
