I am seeing surprisingly little of the hot cop on this blog so what better way to add to this small collection than with some Amon angst when his s/o reveals to him that they're the ghoul he's been chasing after this entire time ψ(`∇´)ψ
Heyo just thought of more hot cop angst where Amon is trying (and failing) to not fall for the ghoul he’s investigating
~I managed to combine the two! Hope you don’t mind. It got a little long, I had way too much fun writing this~
Amon wiped his forehead with his shirtsleeve, drenching the fabric in sweat as the sun beat down on him. Why was it whenever he had guard duty outside, the weather decided to make his world a living hell? Usually Amon loved his cop uniform, how it fit snugly and caused people to stare when he walked by, but right now the suffocating fabric was a sweaty prison, and all he wanted to do was go into the air-conditioned office and savor the cold breeze.
Alas, he had to stand guard outside the CCG instead of waste time in the police force division of the building. Fuck, he thought as the air seemed to heat up another hundred degrees as he stood, trying not to look too bored.
This was all because of Raven, the SS rated ghoul that made Amon’s life hell. He hadn’t met them, but it was because of Raven that hours of unpaid overtime were doled out, security was at an all-time high, and moral was generally… shitty.
Amon’s moral was certainly shitty, and he was ready to throttle Raven the moment he saw them. All he wanted was to be at home with his s/o, cuddled together and eating take-out from the dingy little restaurant next to their apartment. For Raven to take that away from him... that was the real crime.
There was nothing Amon wanted to protect more than his s/o. The thought of Raven, running wild, a threat to all humans, especially a threat to his s/o... it just made his blood boil. If he saw Raven, even heard the name, he swore to God-
The blare of an alarm on his phone jolted Amon out of his angry stupor.
“Code Red, Code Red, Raven spotted two point five miles away from CCG, all forces ready for combat, I repeat, Code Red, Code Red, Raven spotted two point-”
It was as if the gods had answered his prayers right then and there, Amon thought. Amon checked his holster, glad to feel the reassuring coldness of his Q Gun.
“Oh no you don’t leave yet.”
Amon jumped from surprise, then turned around to face the cloaked figure behind him. He hadn’t seen this person ever before, but their bird mask made their alias obvious.
They laughed, “Oh, sweetie, if only you could see my face right now.”
“I don’t need to see it to know that my job is to kill you right here and now.”
There was silence, and then Raven spoke again, their voice lower and more serious.
“Listen, I sent a decoy to drag everyone else away so I could talk to you, yes, you. Don’t feel special, I know your little sweetheart and they wanted me to talk to you.”
Amon did a double take. “What?”
“Jesus Christ, I can’t believe you can’t see my face.” Raven yanked off their mask, revealing a more streamlined black face covering that hid all but their eyes. Amon’s gaze lingered on their lips, confused as to why they were acting so casually around him, a cop.
Raven closed the gap between the two, clearly enjoying teasing Amon, who was motionless from the shock. This is not how he expected Raven to be. Raven was supposed to be evil and murderous, not this laughing person who was - dare he say it - flirting with him?
“Anyways, I’m rolling my eyes.” Raven was about to continue their sentence, but the wail of alarms in the distance threw them off guard. “Shit! That’s my cue to leave.”
They darted away, but then quickly raced back and pecked Amon on the cheek.
“Catch you later, Mr. Hot Cop.” Amon was frozen, and could only stare as they disappeared into the distance.
It was three in the morning and Amon still hadn’t slept. His s/o hadn’t come home, his mind was full of Raven, and he felt like utter shit.
He had seen the ghoul three more times since their first meeting, each as confusing as the last. Why were they the exact opposite of what he expected? Why did they seem so familiar?
He knew the feel of those lips anywhere. That had to be... no it couldn’t. It made no sense. He had seen them eat in front of him... or had he? His s/o was always on a diet, and all they ever ordered was coffee when they went out to eat. Those late night disappearances, flaky excuses... it made sense... but.... why would his s/o be Raven?
Amon threw the pillow across the room. It hit the wall with a thunk, and crashed into the picture frame of his s/o, knocking it down and shattering the glass.
“Shit!” He raced to see what damage he had caused. As he started to pick up the shards of glass, paying no mind to the sting as his palm sliced into shreds, Amon’s body collapsed.
He wept, the tears mingling with his blood and forming ribbons of pain and sorrow that trailed down his arms and pooled onto the floor. The thought of his s/o being Raven was a stab to his heart, wrenching all of what he thought to be true out of his brain and ripping it into shreds in front of his eyes.
But, even after all this.... he still loved them. He loved them so much that he wanted to scream, to scream out his sorrow and anguish and close his eyes and never see the light of day again, to feel something, anything, besides this confusion that clouded his mind.
Amon fell on his side, his sobs slowing down and his mind clearing. All he could do was wait until the next time he saw Raven, and then... confront them. What would happen, happen. Good or bad, he had to know the truth.
Three days passed. No sign of Raven, and no sign of his s/o.
Amon had barely moved. Work was all forgotten. Food not an issue. Amon was a husk of who he was before, a statue sitting by the front door, waiting for a sign, any sign, that his s/o was okay.
A knock at the door. A spark of hope, for the first time in what seemed like forever.
They need Amon to come in for questioning about the ghoul’s alias in daily life.
