behold, a lil fic snippet for the @btmonsterfuckermonday prompt: Tails
The first time Buck sees evidence of Tommy’s tail is while standing on the deck of the ship after their successful mission to rescue Bobby and Athena.
Tommy had unzipped his flight suit to tie the sleeves around his waist, and Buck’s eyes had been stuck on the way Tommy’s t-shirt clung to his chest with sweat. His gaze had drifted to admire the way the short sleeves were [clinging] to Tommy’s arms (and was making a mental note to ask Tommy his workout routine later because those biceps were insane) when movement caught his eye. There was something wriggling around underneath Tommy’s shirt, almost like a–
“Oh!” Buck’s mouth spits out without his permission, “You have a tail!”
Tommy’s head snapped up, startled, and oops that’d probably came out louder than it should have. Tommy’s shoulders started creeping up towards his ears and Buck rushed to reassure him, “Sorry, it just surprised me!” Tommy continued to look distinctly unassured as Buck fumbled his way through the conversation. “I just didn’t notice it before in the hanger that’s all.” Buck gestures to his own mouth, “I-I’m sure you clocked these when we first met.”
Some people are weird about those with Traits, especially the visible ones, despite approximately 10% of the population having some form of Creature DNA. Buck usually makes sure to keep his smiles contained when first meeting people, but there had just been something about meeting Tommy that’d brought Buck’s smile out in full force. It had given everyone a front row view to his teeth, especially Tommy as Buck had still been actively shaking his hand far past the normal length of time. His very sharp and distinctly creature-like teeth.
