6. “Hit and run” kiss (when you kiss someone and run away)
Another late night shift at The Inventory finally finished, Cress hurriedly clocked out and gathered his bag. Saying a quick goodnight to his co-workers, he went out the back and was met with the sight of one of the establishment’s regulars. His (recently established) boyfriend, Tycho Brahe, who looked up from his smartphone and smiled.
“Hey, sorry that took so long! I had more of a mess to clean up than I thought!” Cress said a bit out of breath from the rush he had been in.
“It’s fine. I had the wicked wiles of social media to occupy me,” he waved his smartphone a bit before putting it in his pocket. “Ready to go?” he reached out his hand towards Cress in invitation.
“Yep!” Cress took Tycho’s hand with his own and together they started the short walk to Cress’ nearby apartment.
The walk is filled with a comfortable silence. The two of them more focused on the warmth of each other’s hands clasped together like puzzle pieces.
Then, no sooner than later, they had arrived at their destination. Hands sadly unclasped in order for Cress to dig his key out of his bag and unlock the door.
“So, uh, goodnight Tycho, text me when you get home, ok? I’ll stay up until you do.”
“Right, goodnight Cress. I’ll actually remember to do that this time.”
They both stared at each other not sure what else to say, but wanting the other to stay a bit longer.
“Well…goodnight,” Cress started into the apartment.
“Wait!”
Before Cress could even let out a confused noise, Tycho had kissed him directly on the cheek and was off running into the night. Leaving a flushed Cress behind.
When Tycho later went to text Cress he had made it home, he saw one unread text.
Send me a 💠+ a character's name and I'll talk about how my self insert views that character! Thank you for the ask!!! <3
With Engie, Cress loves him, but is wary of both his god complex and sadistic tendencies towards the people he kills for a living. When they first met he especially was nervous around him, as someone from the American South as well, Cress knew that Southern Hospitality could be easily faked and the Engineer's true feelings could be the opposite of hospitable. Presently though, Cress has a deep trust in Engie and it's definitely reciprocated.
With Murdoc, Cress was initially kinda grossed out by him, honestly. What with his canonically poor hygiene and everything else about him. Then as he got to know Murdoc more and more, he became disgusted with him. What with how he treats 2D and pretty much everyone else. However, Cress was also intrigued by Murdoc. As much as he hated it he kinda liked the guy sometimes...And then Plastic Beach happened, which almost permanently destroyed their budding friendship. But, Murdoc has made it up to both Cress and 2D over the years, slowly anyways... Murdoc, Cress, and 2D in modern day are in a poly relationship, with Cress and 2D married and Murdoc dating Cress. It was a hell of a ride to get to this point, but Cress is glad he stuck with it and is honestly proud of Murdoc for wanting to make up for his past transgressions. (Even if he still smells.)
With Tycho, Cress at first thinks he's an asshole, which he is, but then after many nights of serving drinks for Tycho at The Inventory, Cress finds himself falling hard. Cress kinda hates it but accepts it surprisingly fast. In present times he and Tycho like to poke and prod at each other still, however its more amicable since they are now dating.
