Hatchet × Ember

SPICY FLUFF

/////////////////////////////////////////

Watching the dull tv, ember felt her tail tap in boredom. Nibbling on a bit of flesh she had taken from the other skeleton beside her, Hatchet. He was the only one she really trusted in this castle, he knew her tendencies when she was hungry and unlike the others, never spoke ill of her eating disorder. She'd guessed he didn't mind because he was no different, yet was more open to other food options unlike her. He'd tried to get her to eat food other than meat, but she always refused, saying it wasn't her taste.

Glancing his way, she seen how relaxed he was too, his pupil not its large blood red color but a softer white pinprick. She looked away before she was caught staring, flinching slightly at the call of her name. "Can i ask ya something, Ember?" She hummed in response, staring at the tv blankly. "Are you afraid of touch or just hate it?" She didn't respond for a moment, hesitant of the truth because she didn't know if her reasoning was normal. Feeling him shift beside her, she quickly turned to face him.

He made no move to directly touch her, simply leaning close as she couldn't lean far due to being on the edge of the bed. "I-I..i'm not scared.." She sputtered, avoiding eye contact as she struggled to keep her balance. "If your not scared then why'd you stutter..?" She shook her head. "You caught me off gaurd! Th-hat's all..." He leaned a bit closer again, making her subconsciously try to lean away. She felt the gravity shift as she began to fall, yelping slightly as she was caught. A snarl rising in her throat as hatchet held her up with one arm, the other stopping himself from falling as well. "L-Let-!!"

She tried to start, still snarling in panic as he quickly cut off. "If i let you go, your going to hit your skull on the floor." He avoided her swipes, pulling her back up to sit normally. Her body trembling as she had dug her claws into his arms, snarling lowly until his hold finally let go. "There, back to normal. You're alright." Her eyes where shut tightly, like she was waiting for something to happen and yet, it never came. Peeking out she seen hatchet looked confused and almost worried, taking a deep breath to collect herself.

Crossing her arms as she looked down awkwardly. "D-Don..Don't do that..." She muttered, flinching as she seen him hold his hand out to her arm. "May i..?" He asked, getting a shaky response. "i-i guess.." Setting his hand on top of hers, he gently rubbed her hand with his thumb. Trying to desensitize her to the feeling while she was already starting to tremble. "I'm not gonna hurt you." Ember had gritted her teeth, shutting her eyes tightly. "But i- i don't know that" She hissed.

Hatchet sighed while she slowly opened her eyes, flinching when she noticed how close he'd gotten. "Do you think i'd hurt you...?" He mumbled, his expression relaxed while he still gently caressed her hand. "I-I...I d-don't kn-now..." She stuttered, a silent whine emitting from her as she spoke because she genuinely didn't know. How could she know anyone's intentions, she put her trust in to many bad people that she doesn't even know who's good or bad anymore. "Then let me prove to you that i'd never harm you.."

Hatchet held her with a tenderness she didn't know existed, she had the urge to bite but refrained for she wasn't given a reason to attack. Gently shifting her to sit on his lap, he looked at her carefully. "Can you tell me a bit about your past..? Any of it, i won't force details i just want to know you." Taking a deep breath, she didn't realize she had been exciting him while shifting atop of his lap. "W-Well.. I never had a family.. s-so that's something. I was an slave.. to humans f-for the majority of my life and some treated me horribly. I n-never stayed with one long..."

Twitching her tail when his hand was placed right above the base of it, she grew confused as he shifted her closer by the legs. "Is that why you hate them..? Fuck- I mean i would too, but what about your no touch thing..?" Going quiet she rested her head on his shoulder, not sure what to say while awkwardly shifting closer to him. "I-I dun-nno.." She brushed it off for the time being, taking hold of his sleeve while his arm shifted to lay across her lower spine.

"W-What is this action we're doing..?" She asked, making him hum slightly. "Cuddling i suppose.. Though with how your squirming it could also be called teasing." She froze, confused by what he meant until she felt it. A warmth set between her thighs, instinctively raising herself up with a small squeak. She wasn't stupid nor ignorant to what it was, but at the same time she'd never experienced much touch due to her aggression over it.

She'd never expected to be in any way a slight tease or even attractive for the matter, so seeing and well, feeling hatchet be this openly sensual with her was new and slightly scary. He chuckled lightly, gently rubbing her lower back with a very light touch. She flinched as his hand ghosted over a scar, quickly turning and grabbing his arm with wide eyes. "DON- d-don't to-ouch my b-back..." Hatchet flinched at her sudden shift, his hand moving away from her back so he didn't upset her. "I'm sorry, i didn't know.. what's wrong..?"

Taking a shaky deep breath, she shifted back with on hand still gripping his while the other grabbed onto the fabric around his shoulder. "I-It hur-rts...a l-lot bac-ck there..." He hummed, setting his skull against her shoulder while mumbling. "Why does it hurt...?" Holding back a snarl from him being so close to her collar, she very carefully leaned her head against his. "S-Scars... Lots and Lots o-of scars..." He went quiet for a moment, she trembled lightly due to self consciousness.

She'd never told anyone about her back because no one got close to feeling her, she wanted someone to turn too but could never find the right person to open up with. Slight fear flaring up due to his silence, why was he so quiet? Did he find that bad or even disgusting in a way..? Trying to glance down as she felt something gently tug at the fabric of her shirt. "Can i see how bad..? You might be seriously hurt.." He sounded worried, lifting his head up to give her a look of genuine concern. She gulped unsure, before taking a deep breath and slowly moving off his lap. She seen his mouth open to speak but it shut quickly as she removed the jacket off her shoulders, slowly turning to face her back to him.

"J-Just.. don't make it hurt.." Flinching softly as she heard him shift behind her, his hands slowly pulling the fabric of her shirt up. "I'd never..." Helping him remove the shirt, she winced at the change of temperature hitting the scars and worried from the sharp inhale hatchet took. Scars littering her ribcage, spine and the backside of her arms. Nearly jumping off the bed when she felt him set a kiss at the top of her spine, a deep shudder running through her while hatchet grasped her hands in his own. "This is awful.. how have you been living like this..?" She sighed, her head lowering slightly while her eyes dim.

"Painfully..." Was her only answer, confused as she caught the glimpse of his hands glowing a soft green before he removed them from her own. Unsure of what he was doing until a warm feeling spread across her back but, instead of hurting it felt... pleasant and almost welcoming. She wanted to ask what on earth he was doing, shuddering as he placed more kisses along the top of her spine and the warmth continued to spread within her bones. "H-Hatchet...." She sighed, relaxing slowly into the pleasant feeling while everytime he left a kiss, it left a tingling sensation. He hummed a quiet tune, leaning his skull into the nape of her neck while placing a kiss there too.

Her breath hitched, struggling to focus while his teeth grazed the sensitive bone of her neck and avoiding the collar before his nibbles ran across her jaw. "M-Mmn~" She muffled, panting slightly as the warm feeling on the back of her ribcage faded. Yet the pain didn't begin to prickle back, a natural feeling welcoming her as she sighed in relief. "There.. better..?" Hatchet asked, his thumbs brushing against her lowest two ribs while his arms wrapped around her. She nodded, able to comfortably lean back into his hold while he leaned his skull against hers. She watched his hands avoid the leash as he rubbed along her ribcage, trying not to make any weird sounds.

Squirming as his fingers dipped into the spaces in between her ribs while rubbing the underside of the bone. "a-ah..~" He hummed, looking down at her to see her cheeks begin to glow violet in her flustered state. He grinned, kissing the top of her forehead before sinking his head in between her skull and shoulder to lick over her collar bone, causing a deep shudder to run through her. He continued suckling and licking over the small bone, tilting her head in the process to give him better access with one hand shifting closer to her pelvis to grab her hip and run his thumb over its surface. Ember completely melted into his touches, her panting increasing while her arousal began to flourish.

Her tongue barely poking past her fangs, a small amount of drool sliding down her chin. Ember struggled to focus as thought's swarmed her head, how far is he going to take this? Reaching up, she managed to grab the rim of his hood and tug him closer by it. "H-Hatch...." Her question was cut short by a small moan escaping her lips, surprising herself with the noise she made. Hatch hummed his head shifting up as he began to nibble on her jawline, planting a kiss on the side of her neck while he listened. "I-I hate... to r-ruin the mood but.. nnh~ I-I don't want t-t-too..f-far...."

Hatchet chuckles, kissing her skull as motioned for her to turn around. Twisting to face him, she set her hands onto his ribcage while looking heated but worried. "Then we won't go all in.. it's alright if your not ready and setting boundaries is fine.. just tell me to stop if i go to far, okay sweets?" Nodding along, she traced her fingers along his sternum blindly due to his sweatshirt. Gently feeling the bone through the cotton while he let out a shaky breath. Nipping at her vertebrae as he slowly leaned over her form, carefully getting her to lay back.

Guiding her legs around his waist, hatchet leaned up to her skull and collided his teeth with her own. Need dripping from his low growls as he rubbed her hips with his thumb, making her moan into his hold. Slight worry that he wouldn't stop like he said settled into her skull, causing herself to lock back up as her hands drew away hesitantly. Catching the signal immediately, he pulled back from the kiss. Panting as he did so, he brought a hand up to gently rub his thumb over her cheek. He gave a patient smile to her returning defenses, stopping any advance by her small gesture.

Her heart skipped an unfamiliar beat for how much he learned to understand from her, respecting her as another being.. a feeling she'd missed without realizing. Quick as a bullet, she latched onto hatchet. Arms wrapping around his neck while her legs held her up by looping around his waist, nearly causing him to fall forward at the shift of weight but she didn't care. Her tail wagging rapidly in a hyper joy while she nuzzled herself against his shoulder and cheek. A low purr leaving the feral skeleton as her companion chuckled gently giving her lower back a careful pat while crawling up on the bed.

Struggling with her still latched onto him, he quickly flipped to his back. His magic pulling up her weighted blanket to lay on top of the two. Smiling as he heard the soft "thank you..," flow from embers mumbled speech. Turning the tv off to let the dark consume the room, his arms wrapped around her slowly in a loving manner. Gaining her trust had always been hatchets goal..

Yet now.. he's hoping for more to become of them....
