Nublo had been missing for almost two days now. Not the most unusual amount of time, but he hadn't mentioned it ahead of time.

Nublo, himself, he didn't know where he was either. He just knew the inhibitor collar was too tight, and he dreadful wished Nes would wake up. He knew it was bright. Someone knew his weaknesses.

He tried to put on a brave face, but after the second day, he started shouting for Voss. For Hemlock. For Nes. Anyone. Even if they couldn't hear him, at least he could say he tried.

@theexistance

Voss was worried. Voss had been worried. Sue him, maybe he's paranoid, but even an hour without a response to his 'I love you' text had sent him spiraling. He'd looked everywhere, called off of work just so he could rip the city apart in search of his partner. He was so worried he'd turned his ears into foxy ones while in public. They were hidden under a hood yes, but still anyone who looked too close would see them. He doesn't care. He needs the enhanced hearing. He needs to find Nublo. He's barely slept, only doing so to avoid passing out.

He's searching through the warehouse district, (for the fourth time), nose twitching, when he hears it. Hears them. Calling his name in a volume he's sure his human ears wouldn't have picked up on. He follows the noise. "NUBLO?"

Voss & Nublos First Valentines Day

Closed RP - Henchman 🐧

Voss had always loved Valentines day. Sure, the loneliness eats harder at him most years, but in years prior he'd been able to find temporary companionship in another lonely soul. Part of him though... part of him had always wanted the over dramatic love from movies and the romance novels he loves to read.

This year is special. This year he has someone. A wonderful someone. Someone who deserves to be treated as well as a king, no, as well as the god he hosts. He deserves something special, something to demonstrate exactly how much Voss loves him. He hums happily as he shops and sets up, and makes everything perfect.

When Nublo gets home, the apartment is decorated beautifully. Red and black rose petals are scattered on the floor, leaving a trail from the door to the kitchen table. The table is set with a clearly new red tablecloth, a vase sits in the center full of red roses, black roses, and purple heliotrope. Two bowls and plates are sat across from each other, napkins folded into origami hearts. Theres a basket full of fresh rolls and a bowl full of mashed potatoes. A playlist of love songs fill the apartment, Voss humming along in the kitchen where he's working on finishing up the tomato soup Nublo loves, as well as two juicy venison steaks.

Waking up was hard. Nublo felt like he was dragging himself through molasses to get to the waking world. The warm weight of his boyfriend and an absolutely heavenly smell help greatly.

"Mmmmph." He stretches and wraps his arms around Voss, snuggling his face against his cheek. "Wake up, fox boy, your timer is going off."

@theexistance

"Oh shit!" Voss jolts up, getting off the couch and into the kitchen as fast as he can. He hadn't meant to drift off but cuddling with Nublo was just so comfy. Lucky for him the timer hadn't been going off for long, maybe only a minute, and the cake looks and smells delicious as he pulls it out. "False alarm, everything is fine!"

[variousvossivixens]

It took a moment for Voss to process upon waking up that the weight on his chest was not his cat.

@theexistance

Makes a happy noise of satisfaction, wrapping his arms around Nublo. "Well that's a way to wake up. Good Morning."

[variousvossivixens]

Collapses into the bed next to Voss at four am, having completely ignored the concept of doors or windows in terms of entering a room.

@theexistance

//last one felt kinda complete and Nublo's had a hard night 🤣

He wakes immediately, rolling out of the bed and grabbing the gun off the nightstand, pointing it at his boyfriend. At least, until he realizes that's his boyfriend and lowers the weapon, setting it back down.

"Hi love." Smiles

Henchman returns home afterwork early one morning to find his boyfriend curled up on the couch, eating ice cream out of the tub and staring into space.

@theexistance

"Mon coeur?" He sets down his bag, moving over to sit beside him with worried eyes. "You alright? We havin sad times?"

[variousvossivixens]

Walking alone at night in Gotham is generally not the safest thing, even more so if your friend thrives in the darkness and misses you. Which was not something Voss usually worried about...

A hand reaches out of the darkness and grabs Voss's arm. With a tug, he finds himself in pitch blackness. It is cold as the dickens and there is no air. He can hear a faint rushing sound like a distant river and muted, distant sounds that might have been voices.

Then he was out of it and standing in the dim light of the warehouse.

"Hello, V." Nublo grins at him.

@theexistance

He gasps as he comes out of the darkness, eyes wide and terrified. He coughs multiple times, like he's trying to choke out the water he can remember feeling in his lungs. Memories flash through his mind, he can practically feel himself drowning again.

He stares at the ground, breathing heavily. Despite the air in his lungs, he feels like he can't breathe. Nublos words don't register, his panic the only thing he knows.

[variousvossivixens]

It took Voss a little while to realize that the thing trying to get his attention was not his cat. Or a cat at all for that matter.

"V?"

Nublo pats his face again, this time a bit more firmly.

"V?"

@theexistance

He makes a small questioning "mrrph?" Sound, similar to a cat, or a fox, before opening his eyes.

"Oh... sorry was I trapping you?" He unfurls his wings so Nublo is no longer trapped in his grasp.

"You feeling better?"
