Kloktober 2023: Day 1 - Favorite character or OTP
Dick Knubbler is my absolute favorite Metalocalypse character, and him together with my OC Lucy Skye Desmond is my favorite OTP (ship name is Rainbow Sunshine), so here's a little slice of them being disgustingly adorable together. 🖤 (The inspiration for Dick's jacket taken from this gorgeous drawing of him.)
Dick opened the door to the upstairs smoking balcony of the nightclub that they were at and held it for Lucy, who felt an immediate chill compared to the air inside. It was a brisk night in early March – not quite cold enough for frost to still be forming on everything, but cold enough that the air was biting. The nightclub was pretty lax in their rules about smoking weed; it was an unspoken rule that if people weren’t obnoxious about it then security would turn a blind eye to it, so Dick and Lucy always had a few pre-rolled joints with them when they came there to dance.
At first, Lucy didn’t mind the cold. The heat of the nightclub combined with their dancing and the party favors that they had taken was making her skin almost uncomfortably hot inside, even with how skimpy her outfit was and keeping up on drinking water.
Somewhere about a quarter of the way through smoking the joint though, the coldness caught up with her, and she shivered. Lucy gave Dick a look and he knew exactly what she wanted. “You do this every time, kitten,” he said, more amused than annoyed. Dick had had the wherewithal to grab his long fur lined coat before they went outside. Lucy, however, had opted to leave her coat inside with the Klokateer who was currently guarding their stuff.
She bit her lip and batted her lashes at him, “Please?”
Dick sighed and held the front of his coat open, looking at her with a raised eyebrow, a small smile tugging at the corner of his lips. Lucy smiled a victorious little smile as she leaned in right against him, one arm around his back under the coat, and one hand near his chest with the joint. The jacket was pretty form fitting on him, but he did his best to maneuver it so that it was around her, and he used his arms to hold her close to him where it wasn’t covering her. She sighed softly and leaned her head against his shoulder, the boots she was wearing making her a little taller, but still not as tall as him. He smiled in spite of himself at her sigh and kissed her forehead before looking off at the skyline.
Lucy took another hit, and then held the joint up so that Dick could take a hit. After he exhaled, he asked, “Why don’t you ever grab your jacket?” Though, he had to admit to himself he never really minded getting this close to her.
Lucy laughed softly, “For a man who can literally look in two places at once, sometimes you’re really not that observant. I’m surprised you haven’t figured out by now that I do this just as an excuse to get cuddled up against you.”
He smiled affectionately at her, as if she even needed an excuse, “Sometimes you’re really adorable when you’re being devious.”
She smirked at him, “I’m always adorable.”
He thought, “She isn’t wrong about that.”
