And without further ado, enjoy!
A lot happened ever since D.ev and Ir.ep's takeover of Fa.iry Wo.rld:
D.ev was still a miserable kid, but he was deemed “too dangerous for fairies” so Jo.rgen made the ultimate decision to give him a second chance with the Provisional Fairy Godparent Program.
The Provisional Fairy Godparent Program, or PFGP for short, was a program that assigned fairies to a child part-time. Many used this opportunity as a test run for miserable kids who were also misbehaved and inherently bad. A fairy would be assigned to a kid and would only work either half-days, alternate between days, or a combination of the two.
Pe.ri was reassigned to D.ev under this program, disguised as a babysitter D.ale had hired for him. In addition to P.eri, Ir.ep was assigned as well as punishment for his crimes. He would have to work with P.eri and behave or else he'd be locked up for all eternity.
The two started out rough. Neither of them wanted to work together. They always argued and fought. But when they realized they both cared for D.ev–well, Peri already cared–and saw how their arguing was negatively affecting the boy, they put their differences aside and worked together. Eventually, their animosity toward each other fizzled out into a friendship and a few months after that, something more.
It was against F.airy Wo.rld law for fairies and anti-fairies to date, so they kept it secret from everyone. Their parents, their friends, they tried hiding it from D.ev, but he'd caught them flirting with each other before they kissed in front of him. He promised not to spill the beans if they never kissed in front of him again, deeming it as “gross.”
On their off days, P.eri would invite Irep to hang out in his parents’ apartment. There they would cuddle and watch TV. It wasn't much, but there really wasn't much they could do in public.
Today was one of their off days and the two creatures were on the couch snuggling and watching a horror movie while eating popcorn.
“Why did I let you pick the movie?” P.eri complained, hiding his face in Ire.p's shoulder.
Ir.ep's laughter lit up the room as he held his partner protectively, “cuz you know that there's nothing that will stop me from protecting you.”
P.eri smiled and leaned up to kiss his cheek, “you sure you're an anti-fairy? Cuz you're just entirely too sweet.”
“Shut up,” I.rep grumbled and stuffed his mouth with popcorn.
“Sorry, sorry, I'm only teasing, Mr. Bad Boy,” P.eri smirked and patted his hair.
Ir.ep practically purred at the touch, leaning into their hand. “I should've never told you about my ability to purr.”
“Aww, why not?” P.eri playfully pouted, “it's so cute, it's not my fault for exploiting your special talent.”
“It's not a talent I would like to have,” Ir.ep crossed his arms.
P.eri smiled and lightly kissed his lips, “come on, it's not that bad.”
I.rep mumbled to himself as he continued watching the movie. Pe.ri chuckled slightly before nuzzling close to his boyfriend. Suddenly, the dog in the movie was brutally slaughtered. While Pe.ri whimpered and looked away horrified, I.rep burst into laughter.
“How could you laugh at such a horrible-” whatever else P.eri was going to say died in their throat when they heard,
“Hiccah!hic!hilp!Huck-uck! Ah fuck!- hic!hic!Huck'l!-oof, hic-hup!-hiccups,” Ir.ep whined as his body jerked forcefully with every spasm.
P.eri watched him incredulously, their heart pounding heavily in their chest. “You…have the h-hiccups.”
I.rep nodded, “ye-hip!-yeah, sorry…mainly happens higgup!-ah when I laugh too hard. HUCK!-ah, dammit, thought I grew hoop!-ooh out of this.”
“D…do they hurt?” P.eri asked, shifting in his seat, watching his every move.
I.rep opened his mouth to speak, only to be interrupted by another loud spasm. He cleared his throat and tried again, “no, just annoy–oying…” He raised an eyebrow suspiciously, “why do you hmp-ah ask?”
Pe.ri blushed and looked down, “n-nothing, it's nothing, sorry.”
“P.eri,” the anti-fairy paused the movie and looked at the trembling fairy he'd grown to love, “you know hic! you're a bad li-hip!-liar. Talk-uck!-uh to me.”
Ir.ep held P.eri's hands, squeezing them gently. The fairy looked at him as another couple of silent hiccups rocked his beloved's body. P.eri took a staggering breath before saying, “I, um…” they closed their eyes and shook their head, “I can't…”
Ir.ep looked at him with the softest look, “Pe–eri, I would never huck!uck! ever judge you, you can-hngk! tell me any-heek!hip!-anything. Heck, y–you can tell me where you hid a bo-hup!-dy and I'd help you get awa-hlp!huckuck!-oof away with it.”
P.eri chuckled slightly, looking back at him, “yeah…but this one, this…is kind of embarrassing…”
“Yo-hoop!-ou don't have to tell me if you don't wa-hack!hulp-ah!hick'm!HUP! fu-huck!UCK!-fuck! Hold on, let me get rid of-”
“No!” P.eri panicked.
I.rep blinked confusedly, “huh?”
P.eri's eyes widened as he realized what he'd just said. They sighed and ran a hand down their face. He looked at Irep and he spat out, “I…sorta enjoy listening to…h-hiccups.” They looked away, their whole face flushing a bright pink as they continued to ramble, “I-I don't know, I'm sorry, I know it's weird, and stupid, and I'm really sorry, I just really like how they sound and the way the body moves and…oh gosh I sound like such a freak…” P.eri took his other hand from I.rep's and covered his face.
Ir.ep's eyebrows rose in shock, “P.eri, don't apologize, it's not weird huck'l!huck! I promise. You can listen t-hilp!-to me hiccup whenever I get them. I don't mind at hip!hup!higgup!-mm all, sorry.”
P.eri peeked at him through their fingers, “wait, seriously? You don't think I'm a freak and you don't wanna break up with me?”
I.rep scoffed into another particularly strong spasm. After patting his chest, he placed his hands on P.eri's shoulders, “lo-hock!-look at me, love.”
P.eri slowly brought his hands down from his face, “y-yeah?”
“I-HULP!” I.rep blushed. “ahem-hicculp!- sorry, not how I pla-hip!-planned on starting that. I love you, okay? You en-hmpk!‐enjoying my hiccups isn't gonna change an–nything. Well, except maybe ho-hilp!huck!-uh how frequently I get them-”
“No! I…I mean, please, just let them come naturally?” P.eri held Irep's head in his hands, giggling when the next hiccup lifted his head up from their grip. “I would hate for you to deal with hiccups when you don't want to. Especially when you find them painful or nauseous or even too annoying, then I don't like them…”
I.rep nodded, “I understand hip!hic!-uh P.eri. Is there any-HUP-AH!-damn…is there anything tha-hack!-that you wanna do-up!-o?”
“Can I please just lay my head on your lap?” P.eri requested.
“Of course, c-hngk!hmp!mp!hup'm-fucki–ing,” Ir.ep huffed frustratedly. “I'm so-hilp!‐sorry. C'mere.”
“And you're sure you're not in pain?” Pe.ri worried as he lay his head on I.rep's lap in time to feel his stomach bounce with another strong and fast hiccup cluster.
“Yeah, they're just hick'm!hup!‐oof really fast sometimes. It's a-huck-uck!-annoying, bu-huck!hip!huck-up!-but it's nothing I can't hock! handle, I prom-mp!mk!h'muck!‐promise,” I.rep reassured them with a kiss on their forehead.
“Okay…but you let me know immediately when anything changes, and I mean the exact moment, got it?” P.eri looked at him sternly.
“And so-huc!-o what if I don-hum'k!-n't, hmm-hmnk!-mmm?” Ir.ep smirked playfully.
“Asshole,” P.eri rolled his eyes and wrapped his arms around I.rep's torso to ride the next bout of hiccups.
Ir.ep's jaw dropped, letting out a very loud HIGGUP!, before gasping and teasing slightly, “oooooh, P.eri cursed~ you gotta put money in the swear jar, you potty mouth.”
“Wha- no, that's only when we're around D.ev!” Pe.ri squawked up at him.
“Nuh-uh! How come you make me do it regardless then?” Ir.ep crossed his arms.
“Because…” then P.eri realized something a little disappointing, “wait, they stopped…”
“Huh?” Ir.ep blinked, completely confused by the shift in topic.
“Your h-hiccups,” P.eri stammered, biting their lips, “they're gone.”
Ir.ep was quiet for a moment, seeming to come to a similar conclusion. “Well shit, guess they are. Sorry, Cotton Puff. Guess that last big one scared them off.”
“It's ok,” P.eri shrugged, not budging, “they'll come back eventually. Besides, you looked like you could use a break.”
“You are so sickeningly sweet, it's gross, you know that?”
“And yet, you love me~” P.eri smirked up at him.
Ir.ep grumbled and looked away, “yeah yeah, I do.”
P.eri kicked his little feet and squealed excitedly. They loved hearing and knowing their boyfriend loved him for who he was. He leaned up and kissed his chin, “and I love you too.”
I.rep only blushed and turned the TV back on. The two panicked when they heard the keys jingling outside the door. P.eri frowned, but quickly sat up and Ir.ep poofed away after blowing them a kiss. He smiled at the spot next to him as the door opened.
“...and then I told them to-” W.anda's voice trailed off as she noticed P.eri on the couch, “oh, hey P.eri!”
“P.eri!” C.osmo also cheered and dropped everything to hug P.eri tightly.
“Ok, ok, dad, I'm suffocating here,” P.eri tried to wiggle free.
“What're you doing watching a horror movie by yourself?” W.anda raised an eyebrow at them as she ruffled his hair. “I thought you hated horror movies.”
“Ah, yeah, well…let's just say I was…feeling nostalgic,” P.eri glanced at a family picture they took with his godbrother.
That seemed to work to distract their parents enough from his unusual movie selection. He knew his parents were saying something, but he couldn't focus. He was thinking about the future, looking forward to hanging out with his boyfriend again.
