"Do you promise to follow that order above all others?"

"Yes."

"I want to gag you, what hand symbol means stop?"

Mikely crosses his fingers as his heart skips a beat.

"Such a good toy." Copper purrs against his lips, barely a brush of a kiss.

Mikely whines low in his throat as copper pulls away.

"Patience, darling." he scolds playfully, he runs his claws up Mikely's thigh, "Touch yourself, I want you hard for this."

Mikely wants to pretend he hadn't been at half mast since he sat down as he wraps his hand around his dick. The drag of his dry callused palms over his skin shouldn't get him as hard as it does as quickly as it does. Hes whimpering and letting his eyes close as he struggles to keep the pace he knows copper likes.

"So good." Copper praises, "Don't stop," he says as his spit slick fingers grope at Mikely's balls, rolling them and tugging just enough to have Mikely's breath going choppy. Occasionally he let's his fingers brush up Mikely's base just to watch him shudder.

"Spread your legs a bit more and lie back, dont stop."

Mikely obeys, his pace only faltering when copper grabs him by the calves and lifts his legs so that his feet perch on the edge of the table, leaving him exposed.

"Copper." he whines, the pressure building in his navel and the instinct to rut into his hand conflict with his desire to be good, but it's hard, hes hard.

"You cant come, and you arnt allowed to stop either, though if you need to slow down, go ahead."

Mikely whines again but does as he is told.

He let's his head fall back off the edge of the table, forcing himself not to look at how copper watches him fall apart. How Copper pulls him apart while barely touching him.

Mikely feels copper tie the rope around his ankle, the roughness, the tightness is grounding, as copper secures his ankles to his thighs.

"Stop now, hands behind your head." Copper says. Mikely gasps as his overly hot, pre slicked skin is left bare to the cold air.

Copper wrenches his knees apart, straining his hips, and swallowing him to the root in a single motion.

Mikely Screams. It's a perfect kind of too much as Copper swallows around his dick. Hot and wet, and just enough pressure from the lips protecting his skin from Copper's fangs, and his tongue, oh his tongue would drive him mad, long and flexible and just on the right side of too rough. Mikely cant help the way his back arches to fuck into all that perfect warmth. he cant help dropping his hands to Copper's hair, fisting in the rough bristles and just holding on as his cock twitches between Copper's lips. Hes begging to come, A chorus of "please, please, Please." that doesnt reach his own ears as his thighs shake in Copper's hands fighting to clamp shut around his head.

The growl rattles through him and leaves him twitching as copper pulls off of him with an obscene sound. Spit and pre dripping from his chin as Mikely whines, desperate, and forgetting his role for tonight.

Copper sits back in his chair, Leavimg Mikely to writhe and beg, with slick cooling on his burning skin, exposed and perfect.

"Toy." Copper scolds as he waits for Mikely to come back to himself. "I thought you wanted to be good for me tonight."

"I do, I do, I do." his head is foggy with need, he didn't mean to misbehave.

"Was disobeying me and fucking into my mouth like an animal in rut being good?"

"No, no I'm Sorry. I'm sorry." he sits up on his elbows to plead with him face to face.

"I have to punish you, dear. It's either that or we stop this for the night." he cocks his head.

"Please, dont stop." Mikely whines, he cant look at himself as he forces his legs apart for copper, "I'll be good,"

"So, you accept your punishment?" Copper says, still all to far away for Mikely's liking.

"Yeah." Mikely says. What Copper considered punishment carried so much day to day that he could never be sure what he would get.

"Very well then." Copper stood from his seat and grabbed Mikely under his arms and hauled him up so that he knelt on the pad. "I will give you a few options, and I would like you to make your decision without further question. Understood?"

Mikely swallowd hard as he nodded "Yes, Copper."

"Very good," copper reaches out and caresses Mikely's jaw and gently tucks a strand of slightly damp hair back behind his ear " Your first option is to pleasure me. You will sit on the floor between my legs and put that pretty mouth to work until I say you are done."

Mikely shivered, it wasnt often the focus of their play was on copper as he much preferred lavishing Mikely.

"Your second option is to take a physical punishment, nothing you cant handle and nothing that would leave a mark."

Copper being rough with him was one thing but actual spankings rarely made it into their play as neither of them enjoyed it; which made Mikely wonder if that was what Copper had in mind, or if he was making something else.

"Your final option is to take my cock right now, with no further prep."

that one was genuinely a bit frightening. they'd tried it once before, mostly because Mikely had gotten impatient and desperate, and it Hurt. It had made him want to cry and scream from the deep tearing burn that spread though him as he sunk down over the bulge at the base of Copper's cock.

He swallowed once before for answering. "the first one please."

Copper hummed quiet praise as he gently manoeuvred Mikely into position. He stood, careful not to bump the pretty little thing at his feet, and pulled off his belt completely. Leaving it on the arm of the chair, as he began on the fastens on his pants.

He didn't waste time trying to be sexy, this was a punishment after all.

"Put your hands on my knees. Dont move them unless it's to tell me to stop." He says as he sits back down.

Mikely had eaten copper out before; he'd been in this exact position before, but something about the situation made it feel new. Like, he had no idea what to do as he leaned forward to lap at the slit between Copper's thighs with the broad of his tongue.

Fortunately he had very good muscle memory.

As he worked between the slit and into Copper's opening his lips tugging at the sensitive skin around it as he pulled back to trail his tongue in circles around the loose rim.

Mikely felt Copper's cock meet his lips at the same time he felt the belt being looped around his neck.

Mikely's fingers twitched on Copper's knees as the belt tightened and he was pulled flush against Copper's groin. Mikely opened his mouth to take as much of his cock

Am I not monster enough for you?" Copper's cool and low voice emanating from where he still lays on their bed puts something in his chest at ease.

"What?" He doesn't fully turn as he continues to get dressed.

"You go on these stupid hunts, putting yourself in danger, because you need it right? you need a monster to fight?"

"Copper, it's more complicated than that. I have a duty to protect."

"So? Protect yourself if its adrenaline you need I'll give it to you."

"Just go back to sleep, I dont want to talk about this right now."

"Sunlight. I dont want to wake up alone and then have my first thought be if I'm ever going to see you again. If it's a fight you need or blood or whatever, I'm here. I'll be the monster," Mikely saw Copper's stripes dim for a second as he came close to losing composure, "I want to help you, I want to keep you safe, but I don't know how to keep you safe from yourself."

"I appreciate your conviction, but you cant fix everything."

"Why not? I know I cant make the world all sunshine and rainbows, but I can try. Please, at least let me try."Copper says as he reaches out to hold Mikely's hand.

"No." Mikely crossed his arms and drew away from the only person who has ever truly loved him, "Its more complicated than that, this goes beyond us and- and you dont understand."

"Your right I dont understand, but I want to. please just tell me, show me, whatever, just let me help you."

"Its my duty ok? this is what I was raised to do. to be."

"You know that's a crock of bull, sunlight, Nobody breathing expects you to keep throwing yourself to the wolves." his tone is infuriatingly gentle, it always is.

"I do."

"Why?"

"I dont know!" he snaps.

"Sunlight please, I'm not trying to upset you, I just- I just want to help."

"I know."

"Will you at least tell me this?"

"What?"

"When will it be enough? When do we- you get your happily ever after?"

"I dont. Ok? I dont get one. I was never meant to."

"So you're just going to keep throwing yourself away until you're dead?"

"What else is there for me?"

"Me, Metock, Nolk. Whatever else you want, I'll get it for you, Sunlight."

Mikely makes a frustrated noise and barely restrains himself from stomping his foot like a bratty child, "You dont get it. It's more complicated than that!"

"Maybe I dont need to 'get it'! Maybe you just need to trust me for half a second. You know what? Maybe you- dont get it."

"Dont get what? that you're some spoiled, self absorbed, greedy fairy?"

"You know what maybe I am but your the one refusing to accept that if you keep doing this nonsense you will die."

"So what?"

"So what? Mikely-," He grit his teeth and glared at Mikely while he calmed himself down enough to not yell at him "Mikely, You're right. I absolutely am a selfish bastard, and that's going to manifest right now. Mikely, if you die, I'm going to be alone again. And You dont understand how absolutely terrifying that is. I love you, but I- I cant watch you do this to yourself."

"To bad." He turned away from the creature staring slack jawed and broken hearted at him, Copper deserved better, "I'm going now, Youd best be too." The door closed with a satisfying thunk that he pretended he didn't feel in his chest.

---

Their room was empty when he returned, his neck was stiff, he couldn't open one eye and he had lost feeling in his hand. realistically the most severe injury was the slash that cut deep in his shoulder, it still slowly seeped but adrenaline was keeping the ache at bay for now.

He sat in his chair, the one coated in waxed fabric with extra padding, and waited for Copper to return from where ever he was having his fit.

But he didn't.

Mikely drifted in and out of unconsciousness as he waited; sunset turned to night, to mid night, to early morning, to sunrise.

Copper did not return.

Why?

He sat up and his head swam as the room spun.

the cracking of dried blood barely registered in his ears over the thrum of his own heart. His hand was cold and his eye wouldn't open and his shoulder burned.

Where's Copper?

Why didn't he come home?

He stumbled out of their room and down the hall.

"Oh shit, Mike?" Metock called as she saw him, "Hey, hey, you dont look good" She held out her hands to steady him as he swayed to a stop. He winced as his nerves revolted against touch.

"Copper?"

"Copper? What, oh shit. Copper left last yesterday, said he was going away for a bit. Mikely were you waiting on him?" she ushered him to sit.

He slumped forward I'm his chair and nodded. why was it so bright in here?

"I'll go find a physician, please just stay put."

he nodded into the table again.

Time passed, or maybe it didnt.

life felt sluggish right now, and all to much at the same time.

Where did Copper go?

"Hunter? I leave you alone one night, and you find your way to death's door," There he is.

"Do-dont call me hunter." He slurred "Y-you call call me moonlight, or sun- su- sunlight or s-starlight."

"Why should I call you any of those things? you are the one who made it very clear we're just acquaintances."

"Yu- Love me."

"I do, and as much as it pains me to admit it, I probably always will, But hunter, you chose to reject me. Our deal was I'd stay by your side forever and always until you told me to leave. You told me to leave, I left."

"Di-nt mean t-too"

"Sure felt like you did."

"Sorry."

"Dont apologize, just… just dont. I cant take this anymore."

"St-ay?"

"Hunt-"

"Stay. I-mm uh, co-ld" he turned to face copper, why wasn't he next to him? why did he look so sad? "Sad?"

"Hunter. Somebody I love is dying, you are dying, of course I'm sad."

Mikely wined and thunked his numb hand on the table a few times. "N-o"

"Humter I'm sorry, there's blood building up in your skull and its putting pressure on your brain, you are going to die."

"No, S-sad."

"Its okay to be sad hunter-"

"N-no! Sa-d, You." he whined and thunked the table a few more times. This time Copper understood he was trying to get him to sit down next to him.

he shouldn't, but he does.

Mikely flinches when copper puts his arm over his shoulder.

"Hurts."

"Dying usually does." He adjusts his position to share as much body heat as he could without putting pressure on Mikely's wounds.

"Fix?"

Copper sighs "why should I? All that's going to happen is you're going to do this again and again, and- I cant do that Mikely, at least in death you would be at peace. No more fighting no more hurt, for either us."

"N-no m-more Th-Th-ief?"

"No more thief."

"No." Mikely shifts in his seat, slow and laboriously against his protesting muscles, until hes pressed up under Copper. "N-o more safe?"

"of course youd be safe, I'd never guide you somewhere you couldn't be safe, hunter."

"No Th-ief, no safe."

"Hunter-"

Mikely wines "No, st-stay I-ll Fix it. Don-t leave."

"I'm not going anywhere, there's nothing left to fix."

"Alone?"

"What?"

"Y-you? Alone?"

"Yes, when you're gone I'll be alone, we've discussed this already."

"n-no, Fix. I p-pro-promis-ised."

"You already broke that promise hunter, when you told me to leave."

"No."

silence fell between them. Mikely's quiet sniffling drilled holes behind Copper's heart, but what were they to do? Metock and the physician wouldn't be here in time.

"Hurt." Mikely whimpers.

"I know, sleep for now, it'll be gone when you wake." Copper cards his hand through Mikely's hair like hes done a thousand times before, careful to avoid the bruises.

Mikely relaxes under it, hes safe now.

---

Mikely wakes up alone. Both eyes open, both hands twitch in the sheets, and his shoulder only smarts a little as he sits up.

He runs a hand over the side of his face and into his hair. He's clean and his hair has been braided in the very specific way copper does it when he going to be on his back for a while.

Where's copper? That wasnt a dream. is he home now?

Mikely stumbles out of his room, only slightly more sure footed than last time.

The only people in the dining room are Metock and the physician Daria.

"Sir, you should not be standing!" She jumps to her feet and guides him to a seat. "Sit, sit, it's a miracle you survived, so you probably shouldn't push your luck further!"

"Copper?" he says

"What?" she says

"The friend he'd been out hunting with. he hasn't returned yet so Mikely is worried." Metock lies. She was good at that.

"Oh, I'm sure he'll show up at some point."

---

Physician Daria left soon after, her only instructions being for him to rest and drink lots of water.

He didn't think he'd miss her chipper bed side manner, he much preferred Physician Copper. She was a good doc, but he trusted Copper a lot more.

"So, What happened?" Metock said with a tone that indicated she would not tolerate side stepping from her husband right now.

"Copper and I had an argument,"

"Ok? That happens a lot between you two. Doesn't explain why he left right before you went on a hunt."

"He didn't want me to go."

"Ok?"

"And we got mad, and I fucked up, and told him to leave."

"Mikely"

"I know!"

"You fucked up."

"I know."

"But its probably salvageable."

"How?"

"Did you do your hair?"

"No."

"Hm, when Physician Daria and I got here you were out cold, cleaned up, and already mostly healed. It was Copper, right?"

"Hm, when Physician Daria and I got here you were out cold, cleaned up, and already mostly healed. It was Copper, right?"

"Yeah."

"You needed him, he came. He, miraculously, still cares for you,"

"He shouldn't."

"Undeniably, but he does. So just wait until he cools off and go apologize. Think you can do that, or would it kill your ego?"

"I shouldn't, he doesn't want to do," he makes a vague gesture "This anymore."

"Hm, he said that?"

"In more words."

"Did he explicitly state he does not want to see you anymore? you know how he is."

"No, he said I ended our deal."

"You fucked up, Mikely."

"I know."

"I dont know how to help you out of this one."

"I dont either."

---

Mikely trudged through the snow towards Copper's cove. It's been two days and there's no sign of Copper coming back on his own.

The clearing outside is frosted.

the green from the excess magic fed into this place is fading as the plants experience their first winter since Copper connected his home up to the craggy cliff face that sheltered this area from the sun most of the day.

Mikely sighs and steals himself as he pushes past the tarp still hung here.

Copper's cove is not on the other side.

Its just a cave, made from where three massive rocks came together.

Mikely tears down the tarp as he leaves, ignoring the ache in his chest.

He throws the tarp down, furiously kicking dirt onto it as though it was th cause of his problems.

"Rather mature, dont you think?" A strange voice belonging to a strange face says.

"Fuck off." says an angry voice, as Mikely whips around on this new stranger. They're beautiful in a ethereal sort of way, Their dress glimmers white and silver. Like starlight given form.

"Wow, Real Mature. I assume you are 'Hunter'" they drop their tone to mimic the slow low cadence of coppers voice.

"Who's asking?"

"Victoria," they sigh before continuing "Listen here brat, Copper has been my best friend since these mountains were still hills." They gesture to the cliff scape behind him before pointing an accusatory finger into his chest "And never, in all of that time, have I seen him even half as devastated as he is now! You know his kind can fucking die from broken hearts right? Or were you to absorbed in your own little hero fantasy to even ask?" they snarl at him.

"Screw you!" he smacks their hand away and crowds into their space, "This isnt your Buisness."

"It became 'my business' when you tore out my friends heart and pissed on it."

"Yeah, what are you going to do about it or are you here just to talk shit?"

"I'm here to pick up the tarp he forgot, he was just going to leave it here because he didn't want to see you." they spit "And now that I have had the pleasure of meeting you, I can see why."

"Then get it and leave." neither of them make any move to step down from their standoff.

"Why dont you do something for him for once and get it yourself? You're the one who through a tantrum and got it dirty. Though I suppose it would have needed a good washing from the second you touched it."

"Fuck you."

"Copper really knows how to pick them huh? That your catch phrase blondy? I cant believe it took him this long to get past your pretty face and realize how much of a piece of shit you are."

That's the breaking point, Hes thrown his shoulder into their chest, toppling them both to the frozen ground below them. Vorpal is in his hand and his arm raised before his mind has a chance to catch up with his body.

The only thing that stopped him was the hand around his forearm.

"Victoria, leave." Copper's even tone didn't convey a single emotion.

"Oh I was just about to recommend him dying. That would have-"

"Victoria." Harsher this time.

"Fine, whatever." They dissapear out from under Mikely as copper hauls him to his feet.

Copper doesn't let go of his vice like grip on Mikely's wrist as he goes about shaking off the tarp and laying it out.

"Sit, hunter."

Mikely does, he doesn't want to fight anymore. Doesn't have it in him.

"Hunter, I won't tolerate you hurting my friends. I also won't tolerate you going against my wishes for space."

"They started it." he mumbles

"Hunter."

"I wanted to apologize to you."

"There's nothing to apologize for. You made your decision I accept that."

"I made the wrong one."

"Is that so." he deadpans.

"Do you want to hear me out?"

"What?"

"You dont have too."

"Hunter, just tell me."

"I keep waking up looking for you. When I'm out I keep trying to find you, or tell you something. You're not there and… it hurts. It keeps surprising me, and it hurts so bad. I miss you, I fucked up, and I'm so sorry Copper." Saying it all at once make his lip quiver as tears well in his eyes. He won't cry. He can't. Copper cant help but bend to him when he cries and he doesnt want anything copper will regret once the tears dry.

"I'm sorry hunter. But, I cant do this. I love you, but it's been killing me to see you throw yourself away. I just, I just cant do this anymore."

"I'm done then."

"hm?"

"I'm out of the game for good, I'd rather throw vorpal in a river and become a monk than spend another day without you."

"Hunter-"

"Stop calling me hunter! please anything else, I'd rather you insult me than call me that ever again."

"Itll never happen again."

"Good."

Copper sighed and sat beside him on the tarp.

"Would you run away with me?"

"Yes."

"No questions? we'd just go."

"I'd want to say goodbye before we left."

"Would you stay here with me?"

"Yes.

"Would you live for me?"

"For as long as youd have me."

"That's a lot to promise."

"Promise me the same, and we will have a deal."

"No. You haven't been big on keeping your end of our deals. Prove to me you can and we can talk about this again."

"How?"

"One month. For one month you have to stay by my side, if you sneak off even once to do something you know I wouldn't approve of, this is over. No more chances. Am I understood?"

"Clearly."

"I'm not playing around this time."

"I know."

---

Copper had escorted him back through the crack and into his cove.

"I have work I need to do. Can you entertain yourself until I'm done?"

Mikely nodded, content to dig through some of Copper's scrap fabric to find something to embroider, before climbing into his bed to work on it.

"Mind the needles, love." Copper says without looking up from his papers.

Mikely preened under the new endearment.

---

Hours pass as they both work in silence, it almost feels like everything is back to normal. Like everything is alright.

Mikely looks up from his now finished project to see Copper already staring at him from across the room.

"I missed having you here." He shifted away from the table, "Come here." he says.

Mikely is eager to obey.

"Do you want to be good for me tonight?"

Mikely has to think it over. Does he? Does he want the gentle hands teasing and guiding him pulling him higher and higher until he's boneless with bliss; or does he want the rough hands that drive him over the edge over and over again until his every nerve goes numb and then they'll keep ripping pleasure from him until it feels like pain; or maybe he'd like to be in charge, keep his thief at his mercy and drive him to the roughness Mikely loved; Or just fucking, simple and to the point the gratification would be more temporary but the reward would be near instant.

"Yes."

"Thank you my darling." he rests his hands on Mikely's hips, his thumbs running gentle circles over the bones there, "I would like to try something new tonight, but only if you would like to-"

"Yes." he says without a second thought.

"You dont even know what I'm going to ask of you."

"I dont need to. You wouldn't do anything you know I dont like, and you would stop if i asked you too."

"Of course, but what you want is important to me. I dont want to take something you are only giving because you feel it is expected of you."

"I've enjoyed everything you've asked for so far, I'll let you know if I ever don't."

"Thank you." Copper runs his hand up over Mikely's front until his palm is caressing the side of his jaw. "Do you want to know what I have planned or would you rather it remain a surprise?"

"Surprise me."

"very well." he smiles and Mikely's heart flutters at seeing it again, "Go get cleaned up for me. touch yourself all you like, but you are not allowed to finish, and when you get done with your bath do not put your clothes back on. Just come to me as soon as you are done."

"You won't be joining me?" he pouts.

"No, I have a few things to prepare." he pulls his hands away.

Mikely nods and goes to do as he is told. He doesn't want to push his luck right now.

---

He finds Copper in his work room, sat back in his chair with one foot propped up on one of his shorter tables thats been pulled in front of him, hands steepled on the plush arms. Though it's the items on the table that have Mikely's blood running hot with curiosity, the visage of absolute control the Copper is presenting has something fluttering behind his ribs.

There's ropes, a pair of scissors, a small box, a mat, and a pile of carefully organized jewelry.

Copper crooks a finger at him, Mikely comes to him without a second thought.

"Stand there. I want to take a look at you." Copper stops him on the other side of the table.

Mikely has never had a problem with being naked around copper, but he feels his skin heat with blush as copper just watches him shift there.

the cold of the stone floor biting into the soles of his feet, and the chill licking at the few drops of water that find their way down his skin from his hair.

He wants to cover himself, to tuck in between Copper's arms and be held, and ravished. He wants to put his hands somewhere other than limply at his sides.

"Turn for me." Copper says, his voice low and commanding, "Put your hands on the back of your neck while your at it." Mikely does.

"So good for me," he says and Mikely shivers. " Come sit infront of me. You can put your arms down, aswell."

Its easy to obey right up until hes looking up at cooper. Sat between his knees and exposed like this, Mikely's mind latched onto all of his darling's most monstrous features.

he understands why Copper was offering to play that part for him now; Like this, making no attempt to hide his predatory nature, hes something that pulls some instinctual thing in Mikely from the depths and tells it to either run or submit.

"You are stunning, darling." Copper says, the light catching on those teeth made to rend and break, as he leans close, hands braced on the table on either side of Mikely's shaking thighs. "Can you promise me something?"

his breath smells like those honey candies he likes so much and something more bittersweet.

"Yes."

"Stop me the second you stop enjoying this. Even if it's 'just' a mild discomfort, if you are just not that into it, or if you are even slightly uncomfortable, tell me to stop. Am I understood?"
