"He's the mean giant top, but I'm the one in charge. ♡"
Why should drop-dead pretty and bratty top model Riley Harris be scared of walking alone at night in his sluttiest outfit when his boyfriend gives him scary dog privilege? Also, it kinda helps that he lives away from the city with him, only focusing on their couple and little house. @the-makingsofgreatness
riley harris/don moore – little god of death au part one
the first night riley stays in don's tent, riley sits up waiting for don to come in the tent. thinking that this was all too good to be true but he falls asleep before don finishes his rounds.
don gets back and it's long past dark and don did a few extra laps before going back go his tent, he sees riley asleep curled around the bag he brought with him and his hand curled around the knife he snuck in under tommys watch.
don stays up waiting and listening and can't stop himself from watching riley sleep, looking so sweet he hardly believed it was the scrappy thing that came charging in giving arthur a nasty shiner.
when riley wakes in the morning Don is already setting up camp and checking the perimeter, he left riley leftovers from dinner the night before with a carton of juice – its sweet and surprisingly fresh and the scared part of him rubs his thumb against the knife in his boot.
a routine is easy to fall into. don is consistent and it took almost three weeks before don came into the tent while riley was awake. the nights are getting colder and don left riley an extra clothes and a blanket.
don refuses at first. too much of a gentleman riley thought (too greedy don thought. too desperate and he ached seeing even just a sliver of rileys soft skin).
but after some arguing and some pouting on rileys behalf don yields and slips under the blanket too. don radiates warmth despite the chill in the air and riley can't resist curling into him.
the first time they sleep together don keeps his hands away from riley. lays still and stiff beside him while riley happily curls against him warming his hands under don's top.
on the fifth night riley was fed up. both with the bitter wind and with don refusing to touch him no matter what he does. lets don catch him washing by the river, deliberately brushing up beside him when on their rounds, sitting next to him at meal times and knocking their knees together but nothing makes him break, don takes each pass with a heavy silence and a straight face.
but underneath it he's burning. he ignores riley's obvious interest with warmth low in his belly, his eyes follow him when he isn't looking and even when he is don still watches.
lays awake at night hard and wanting while riley lays next to him oblivious to the torment he causes don. traces his lip with his tongue and silently hopes riley wakes up and catches him wanting.
one night riley does wake up. he's warm and heavy and more comfortable that he's been in a long time. he's cages against the side of the tent with don behind him, one arm across his stomach hand heavy but open palmed.
he feels don's warm breath against his neck and a blush burns his cheeks, he tries to keep still torn between staying still to see what don will do or turning around and begging don to do something, anything.
don knows that riley is awake. can feel the blush burning off his skin and can feel the clenching of his stomach under his hand.
something crazy overcomes both of them. neither is sure who moves first but as don moves forward riley turns around and all it takes is eye contact in the dim morning light for both to move forward.
the kiss is hungry. not sweet and gentle like don wanted their first kiss to be. but consuming. full of heat and want and riley drags don ontop of him.
don is heavy as he grinds down onto riley, groaning into his mouth swallowing any soft noise riley makes.
riley's legs part even wider trying to make more space for don as he buries his hands into don's hair causing him to shudder against him.
theres an ache in his hips as he tries to accommodate don's wide frame, whose hunger is endless as he kisses hot and heavy and messy full of teeth and tongue.
tipping his head back riley groans as don's mouth moves down across his jaw and throat hand curling under one of riley's knees lifting it higher up so he can drive his hips faster and harder.
there's only the thin fabric of their boxers between them and soon it is too much for the both of them as riley bucks his hips against don's until both spill into their underwear.
riley whimpers against don's neck where he's buried his face, mouth wet and open and panting against his skin and the noise don lets out is almost pained and desperate as he grinds into him one last time chasing the high
riley hopes don will pull his boxers off and fuck him like he wants him to but he knows don better by now.
he lays his head back against the pillow don found him breathing hard while don kissed back up to his mouth almost panting against his mouth.
his boxers feel wet, his skin hot and flushed and theres tears in his eyes but don does not want to move. wants to lay here with riley and forget about everything.
but soon the camp starts to wake and he can hear them talking not so subtly why the fire wasn't lit yet "fuck 'um" riley whispered against his mouth "stay" he gives don the soft and sweet kiss he wanted "just for a little bit".
don kisses back, long and slow and does as riley wants and stays with him, just for a little while longer.
small moments between my oc don moore and riley harris who belongs to @call-sign-shark (the little god of death au belongs to them also) thank you for letting me borrow him and im sorry it took me so long to get something written, sorry its not the full fic i promised but im struggling with writing rn but i was thinking about them today and felt awful i never got something posted so shark i hope you like these and consider them an apology for not writing anything 🙏 if you have any ideas for a part two pls feel free to tell me 🫶
i would LOVE to talk, so since weve decided riley is definitely a shield a little spoiler but i kinda love the idea of don being a visionary, something so delicious about the concept of him being the most adaptive in the au but one of the most vulnerable (for the first time in his life hes not useful but a liability) and him and riley would lowkey be a dream team because of it
@the-makingsofgreatness Alrighty right, I’m finally answering ask. It was something I forbade myself to do until I posted all the lore. Thank you so much, love. I’m still so grateful for your involvement in this silly universe. I haven’t mentioned it yet but I love that you’ve chosen to make a Visionary out of Don. I’m gonna pinpoint what you already have but I love the idea of Don being the most skilled, physically strong and impressive but, somehow, the most vulnerable to the parasite. Honestly, you can count on a certain tiny shield to enter in a feral little protector mode for Don and literally behave like his shield if necessary.
Also they would be a dream team. Not only thanks to their mutations but also thanks to how they get along, their skills are complementary and also because pairs are more efficient when it comes to discretion/finding accommodations/moving from point A to point B.
You want hurt/comfort? Imagine if Riley got bitten because he pushed Don out of the way to take damages from an infected, hence saving him.
Also did I mention how much I love them? Ah, he’s, I did.
Heaven knows that Rose is always there to make her happy with whatever she wants to wear, but Rose isn't responsible for what the clothes could cause on Mr. V.B 🤭. Hopefully he will survive to live another day :
As for Riley, Rose wants to tell him there's nothing to be shy about. If in the future she decides to do something for men, she's going to be delighted if he accepts to be her model. In the meantime, this is for him and no one else have it. Dean will be happy 😌.
@justrainandcoffee Flor, I’m flabbergasted by how incredible those lingerie sets are! I knew my prompts weren’t that easy but you nailed it. 🥰
Heaven is actually squealing and hoping on the spot with excitement! Those jewel lingerie sets are the most wonderful custom sets ever, she’ll definitely warn a feral Amos not to tear them down because she intends to keep these.
As for Riley, he’s red as a tomato but he’s so delighted — it will be his first time wearing lingerie for Dean so he was a bit anxious, but with these? His confidence took off. Dean’s gonna die. 😏 And as a professional model, he’d GLADLY be Rose’s first male model! 🖤
[1] What first impression do they typically make? Are they likeable from the get go, or take time to grow on people?
[36] Do they own items that have sentimental value?
[51] How good are they with money?
@evita-shelby Thanks Juli, it got a bit angsty I’m sorry.
1. First impression
Riley first appears distant and inaccessible. As someone who works in underground sex work and and modelling, he is genuinely stunning IRL and has that runway model expression, i.e. a resting bitch face, which make him appear quite impressive. It usually takes a bit of time for people to realize that he's a nice person.
It’s near impossible not to click with Dean. He makes a good impression most of the time due to his laid back nature, warm demeanor and big smile. However, the sympathy is very often superficial and the few people who get close to him can see that, while kind and fun and chaotic, he’s a very wounded person.
2. Item
For Riley, it’s the zippo lighter Amos gave him the night they share a cigarette outside the dungeon after a session, which is the same night they came to their agreement. Riley might have ended up heartbroken, he can’t hate on Amos on the long run for he is the only one who gave him the second chance life has always denied him. So, the zipper doesn’t just symbolize Amos, but renewal and good luck.
For Dean, it’s a baseball cap his first girlfriend gifted him for his birthday. While he hasn’t worn it since the car crash (which had led to her and his childhood best friend’s death), he still keeps it safe and sound on a furniture. When he passes by it, he can’t help but touch it as if he was greeting the two people he lost.
3. Money
Riley is very good and careful with money since he was homeless for a short while.
Dean, without being a big spender, he can compulsively buy things sometimes. So… I think he is very lucky to have Jack in his life for many aspects, this one included. 🤭
He wants to write a book. Not one of those cheap self-help books but one that actually helps. That also encourages readers to go to therapy and seek professional help, if they more advices, not just following what the book says.
New Year’s Resolution @justrainandcoffee
Riley: “This is wonderful, Jared. Too many fake-ass authors scam people who truly seek help with their personal development books, so it’s good to see someone wanting to make a real change. Especially a health professional. Write your book Jared! It will help people and maybe lead them to therapy, which we all need — some more than others but still.”
