ACOTAR should be told as a modern political drama

The backstory:

Rhys is practically American political royalty. His father served 5 terms in the US Senate before his death. His grandfather had been a beloved governor. It was always expected of him to go into politics as well and run for office. Rhys' mother instead steered him towards the military (his parents had a tumultuous relationship and she didn't want him to be corrupted by politics before he found his moral compass and self-discipline -- Rhys had a wild and overly privileged youth). His father only agreed because having military experience is always good for running for political office later on in life.

Rhys meets Cassian and Azriel in college in ROTC. Rhys did not want to be there. Cassian grew up being passed from one foster home to another. It was through sheer determination and will that he was able to secure an ROTC scholarship to an elite college. Az grew up in a wealthy but neglectful home (he hated his parents who were abusive). He fell into ROTC because he wanted the comradery. The 3 of them became the bestest of friends, though they, of course, hated each other at first. After college, they enlisted together.

After serving 3 tours in the Middle East, Rhys returned home with PTSD. He meets Feyre around this time, and they quickly fall in love. They elope, much to Rhys' family's dismay (no prenup, the horror) but their elopement was attended by only the people Rhys and Feyre loved. Rhys wasn't sure he wanted to return to the military, but his relationship with Feyre made him realize that he wanted to make this world a better place for both her and their future children (around this time, Rhys mother and sister died in a horrific terror attack, and this also solidifies his determination to run for public office). He enters politics and becomes a congressman.

When we meet Rhys (this is where the story starts), he is contemplating a run for president. He had recruited his best friends (and blood brothers) to be on his campaign. Both Az and Cassian had stayed in the military after Rhys left. Cassian was a Colonel (he was on track to be promoted to Brigadier General). Az was working on military intelligence. Rhys needed people he trusted and they both said yes to help him.

The rest of the inner circle:

Amren - a political veteran, both feared and respected by everyone in Washington. She has successfully led countless successful national campaigns now. She helped Rhys with his first run as a freshman congressman and stayed on as his chief of staff. She is now his campaign manager. After Rhys and Feyre, Amren calls the shots.

Mor - Rhys recruits his cousin as his head of fundraising. Mor is blue-blooded as they come. She grew up in the same elite circles as Rhys, but unlike Rhys, she knows how to manipulate the power-hungry people around them (Rhys never had any patience with the aristocratic people they grew up with). Mor attended galas and state dinners all her life, and she knows everyone who is anyone. She was a political animal with a killer instinct.

Az - head of opposition research. His years in army intelligence have given him a vast network of contacts throughout Washington and in many foreign governments. Az knows everyone's dirty secrets and understands how filthy the political game is played better than anyone. Az has horrific scars on his hands and forearms from an injury he incurred when he was held as a prisoner of war for 6 months (Rhys and Cassian raized a town to the ground to get him back but Az never told them what happened and they don't ask).

Cassian - well, he doesn't know how he fits into Rhys' campaign, only that Rhys needed a deputy that he could trust completely. Cassian didn't hesitate when Rhys called - because Cassian knew Rhys would make a great president, because Cassian believed that Rhys could make the world a better place. Cassian doesn't understand politics the way the others do, but he is smart and capable. He knew he had to learn this job, quickly, on his feet.

(Rhys needs Cassian because Cassian is his moral compass - Cassian will always tell him if he has gone too far, or crossed a line, like he has always done for him even in their days as college kids. Cassian is fundamentally good in a way that Rhys knows he is not and knows he must be reminded of every day.)

Feyre is the heart of the campaign. She is the soft power behind Rhys' hard power. Feyre loves Rhys unconditionally and she would do anything to help him realize their dream of a better world.

Feyre knows someone is missing from their inner circle. She knows exactly who to call: Nesta, her estranged sister.

Nesta had made a name for herself as a writer and political commentator (she wrote a searing profile of the British Prime Minister for The New Yorker that was credited for making him lose the next election). When we meet her, Nesta is in the middle of working on a book - she has signed a big book contract but has not delivered a chapter yet. Her editor is hounding her constantly. Feyre wants Nesta to join the campaign as communication director since she has all the media contacts. Nesta couldn't turn down a front-row seat to one of the most compelling political stories of the year: a promising young US congressman with a dream running a long-shot campaign for president.

Nesta reluctantly joins Rhys campaign. She doesn't like Rhys at first and is constantly challenging him and his leadership. She is not sure if Rhys will make a good president (she will come around later though). Nesta is trying to figure out the dynamic of the inner circle as she works (but also because she wants to write a book about them).

The one person who infuriates her to no end is Cassian - everything from his stupid hair to his swaggering muscles. Amren keeps putting them together on projects (at one point, they go to Iowa together to set up a field office and end up sharing a hotel room because this has to be a romcom after all). Cassian finds Nesta equally exasperating but he also recognizes immediately that he is in deep trouble (at one point, Cassian ropes Nesta into training for a half marathon and Nesta cannot stop staring at his chest and Cassian cannot stop thinking about the way her cheeks flush and how she pants at the end of the workout).

Of course, Cassian and Nesta fall in love. That's going to be the story to tell.

Should I write this or what?

The Eleventh day of Christmas: Bucky and Blossom

It’s the last day of your heat and Bucky’s rut and you’re kinda glad. You’d been worried you might have to miss the Christmas party that Fawn and Steve were holding and you’ve been looking forward to it all season. This will be your first actual party, that you’re not working and actually get to enjoy time with the pack.

You and Bucky spend most of the morning in bed. You as little spoon, just quietly talking. You love heat and rut, you get uninterrupted time with him,

“You wanna come to my shop with me?” Bucky asks softly into your neck.

“That sounds nice, let me bundle up.”

“Bundle up?”

“It’s freezing down there.” You tell him and he laughs.

“Okay Darlin’, I’ll get you something to wear and you can help me.”

“Are you almost done with the rocking chair for Steve and Fawn?”

“Yea, just a couple more things and it’ll be done. I kinda wanna get it over to them tomorrow.”

“Okay, I’ll take care of food and coffee so you can work.”

“Not a chance Darlin’. I know how tired you get today.” He isn’t wrong, you’re usually exhausted today but right now you feel pretty good.

“Okay, we could do leftovers for lunch and maybe dinner?”

“And I have a gift for you.”

“I have one for you too.” You tell him as he passes you your favorite of his hoodies. He always wears it the couple of days before his rut so it smells so fucking good. You shrug on his sweatshirt and a pair of his sweatpants then the new fuzzy socks he’d gifted you.

“Ready Darlin?”

“Yea.” He brings you downstairs on his back and you can’t help but laugh softly. He gently sets you down in the kitchen then opens the cupboard where you keep the hot chocolate and tea. Inside is his gift and above is yours.

He bought you your favorite kind of tea and hot chocolate. You did the same.

“Oh my god. We got one another the same thing.” You say with a laugh.

“Piping hot?”

“Yes!” You say with a laugh, you weren’t about to get him a flute or something.

“Amazing.” He says as he pulls down both your teas then starts the kettle on the stovetop. He comes back and stands between your thighs wrapping his arms around your waist.

You spend the day down with him, he has you help a little with the rocking chair that Steve had bought for Fawn. It’s made of dark sleek wood and is so beautiful that you might ask Bucky for one of your own.

In the rugged landscape of the wild west, amidst the dust and tumbleweeds, there sat a saloon named the Hawks Nest. Tucked away deep in the dessert it served as the heart of small but bustling little town. Townsfolk always in and out, either getting off work or getting a quick drink before heading in. A rest stop for weary travelers, a place of pleasure for many others, and where a young Alice Ashford had called home for too many years. Wrapped up in it all from a young age, orphaned by parents who perished from sickness, the blonde started out helping in the kitchen, cleaning up after tables and bar fights. She had a smile that could light up the whole place. Always kind to anyone she spoke to. Never talking back or causing any trouble. Only ever wanting to earn her keep so she could remain under the safety of a roof.

But Alice ultimately was forced into the night life. Her presence in the dimly lit saloon stirred whispers among the weary travelers and hardened cowboys. One of the youngest there, and probably the most beautiful; with a gentle smile and green eyes that held so many secrets, Alice was a favorite rather quickly. Earning a steady flow of customers pulling her away every single night. But behind her façade of charm lay a girl who simply wanted to be free. The men she entertained were never kind, always a bit too rough which was-- normal to say the least. She never made enough money to hide any away. All of it always went to the house. Her room and board so to speak. To pay for her to eat or have a drink.

But there was always one man she enjoyed seeing near every night. The new sheriff in town hadn't been around for too terribly long, But Landon Wynter was already making a name for himself in their small town. Most of their interactions were from afar. A smile here, a nod of their head there. The occasional hello or good evening. But nothing more. Sheriff Wynter never entertained her past that, and part of Alice wondered why. The other part knew she shouldn't dwell on it. She had no place to. The old sheriff was a regular of hers, even though the man had a wife up until his death. Never stopped him from paying up and spending three nights week with Alice, much to the disgust of a few of the other women who she worked along side.

Spying the man from across the saloon always put a smile on the girls face. Knowing she'd get at least a polite hello, a genuine how are you from him if she was able to cross his path. But her place was along that second floor for now, birds eye view down on the crowd of men so one of them could look up and see her, decide if she was worth their coin. 'You starin' at that sheriff again, girl?' The harsh tone of the old woman who kept track of girls here was suddenly beside her. Snapping her out of her little day dream. 'N-no. No just looking at everyone Madam Price.' Alice answered softly, straightening up, fixing part of her dress. If it could be called that. She was lucky the garment hit just above her knees. Always needing to be showing as much skin as possible at night. 'Good, 'cause if I catch ya doin it again?' The threat didn't need to be spoken. There was any number of punishments that could be had but they all knew that. 'Get down there and get to work,' @wynterhxney

#wynterhxney #alice interaction #she looked daisy safe but smelled wild rose || alice old west au #the whiskey burn isn't even close to the fire you ignite in me || alice & landon old west au

River Styx

Pairing: Elain x Azriel

Olympus AU

While I don't personally ship Elain and Az I do think that they have a Hades and Persephone aesthetic if that makes sense. Inspiration struck so I decided to write this. This fic will probably have two or three parts. I'm the author (please don't re-post) <3

Masterlist Series Masterlist Read on Ao3

Warnings: most characters are ooc and I tried to fit them into the story so the way that I've written some of these characters does not in any way reflect how I view them, some character relationships were also changed as well as the relationships between the gods, everyone appears the same age, drugging, kidnapping

Word Count: 1,721

Characters: Elain=Persephone, Azriel=Hades, Nesta= Demeter, Rhysand=Zeus, Feyre=Hera, Cassian=Helios, Lucien=Apollo, Morrigan=Aphrodite

On beautiful spring days Elain could frequently be found outside, tending to her garden. Under her careful attention the flowers bloomed. Her garden was her pride and joy but more recently the only place where she felt calm. Ever since her aunt, Feyre, had married the king of the gods, Rhysand, Elain's mother, Nesta, had been acting more and more agitated.

Recently, Lucien, the sun god had taken an interest in Elain and Rhysand and Feyre were both very encouraging of this relationship. Elain's mother however was very against the match. In her mind Elain was still a child, not an immortal goddess who had been tending to her gardens for several thousand years. While Elain had no real desire to marry Lucien she did long for someone to love who would love her back.

This wish was why she had been planning to go out with some nymphs that night. They had already planned everything out. Once Nesta went to sleep Elain was going to sneak out with her friends and they were going to leave Olympus. When they reached the mortal lands they were going to go to a revel near a river called Styx.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Lainy!"

Her friends' calls were soft but insistent, carrying through the evening air. The sun had set and the moon was high above as Elain crept out of her window and down the walls of her cottage. She ran for the edge of her garden, to the gate at the entrance to the property. Her friends immediately wrapped her in their arms, soft giggles echoing in the night.

The two sisters wore matching black dresses, their thin and willowy figures near translucent in the moonlight. The two of them almost looked like spirits. Their pointed features and pale green skin creating an otherworldly appearance. Nuala's hair was pulled back, the hairstyle held together with vines. Cerridwen had went for a slightly different look. Her hair fell down in loose, tangled curls. They looked beautiful. Elain almost felt a bit plain in her pale pink dress, that was far more modest.

Her heart felt heavy as she turned for one last glance at where mother was surely sleeping contentedly, unknowing of what was transpiring only a short ways away.

Elain turned away and started walking, arm in arm with Nuala and Cerridwen, to the bottom of Olympus. Thankfully her family farm was among the foothills and they did not have to walk far. Despite the amount of trouble the three of them would be in they carried on their merry way, laughing and joking.

Against the odds they made it out of Olympus without being caught. They found themselves on the outskirts of a village, the roads were empty and most of the light were off but as the approached the other side of town they could here music and laughter. The lights were warm and inviting. The closer the got, the more Elain could see. People were dancing, talking, having the time of their lives.

Nuala and Cerridwen pulled her into the throng of dancing bodies, eventually coming to a halt. They quickly joined in. To Elain they seemed to almost melt into their surroundings, almost as if they were finally at home. The overpowering sounds of music eventually became to much and she pushed her way through in an effort to get fresh air. Her head had started to spin when someone shoved into her causing her to stumble into the arms of a stranger.

"Here." They helped her to stand and pulled her towards a table covered with drinks. Picking up two cups they gave her one before leading her further away from everybody. Elain took a tentative sip and was hit by a sickly sweet taste that nearly made her gag. Thirsty, she took another, much larger, gulp.

Looking up at her companion, her sight became foggy. All she could see was his smirk and all she could feel were his hands on her dress, starting to unbutton it. In his haste he ripped the fabric. Her protests were weak but with what remaining strength she had she pushed at him. He laughed but it was cut short by a strangled groan and the sound of a body falling to the ground.

She felt so very, very tired. Kneeling down she tried to find a comfortable spot to lay down and close her eyes. Looking up, the last thing she saw was a tall, dark, and winged figure looming over her.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Just as the day was starting, Cassian rose from behind the clouds, heralding in a new day. In the distance he spotted a dark, hooded figure who was not supposed to be up in the mortal lands. Azriel, god of the dead, had been banished to the Underworld for a millennium. As Cassian neared he spotted a pink clad girl in the god's arms. Elain, he realized. No. That wasn't possible. The only thought in his head was that Nesta was not going to like this.

When he had reached midday and was right above Nesta's cornfields he ventured down closer to impart the news.

"Nes!" he called.

She look up at him with a glare as if silently telling him not call her that. "What?" she bit out, her arms crossed and her face irritated.

"Have you seen Elain lately?" He asked as jovially as he could.

"No. Not since yesterday. Why?" She responded, her face softening slightly at the mention of Elain.

Worry flooded him as he told her, "Because I could've sworn that I saw her in the mortal lands by the River Styx and she was being carried into the Underworld by Az."

Her eyes widened in alarm and she abandoned her work. "Take me to Rhysand."

Without hesitation Cassian took Nesta in his arms and soared to the very top of Olympus. He left her standing at the entrance of the soaring white marbled pillars that surrounded the thrones of the gods.

Nesta walked with purpose, her steps hurried. She didn't spare a glance for any of the gods roaming around, instead heading directly for her brother-in-law, Rhysand.

"Nesta." He greeted her. She responded likewise. Their dislike for each other apparent. If it weren't for their mutual love for Feyre, her sister and his wife, they would have most likely already slaughtered each other. The two of them were constantly at each other's throats. He was always waiting for her to step out of line so he would finally have an excuse to banish her the same as he had done to his brother.

Without exchanging pleasantries Nesta immediately stated what had occurred and what she needed him to do about it.

"Cassian saw Azriel taking Elain into the Underworld. He was in the mortal lands, a clear violation of his banishment." She informed him.

"And what do you want me to do about it?" He asked, laying back on his throne, with a bored expression.

"Make him let her go!" She yelled, unable to contain her desperation.

He leaned forward, a smirk that she longed to slap off of his face. "And why should I?"

Nesta looked at him, almost shocked at his response. Their was no love lost between them but everybody loved Elain. She was about to respond when she hear her sister's voice from behind her.

"Rhys," Feyre admonished before turning to Nesta and telling her, "Of course he will do something about it," She cut a sharp glare at her husband, daring him to argue.

He sighed before stating that, yes, he would in fact help.

Momentarily appeased, Nesta walked out.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile, down in the Underworld, Elain was blinking the fatigue away and taking in her surroundings. The room was almost entirely black. From the bed sheets to the walls to the carpet everything was the same shade of onyx. Even the knee length shirt she wore was black. Her cheeks heated at the thought of someone undressing her.

Twisting her neck to get a better view of her surroundings her gaze fell upon a piece of paper.

Elain,

You are welcome to my room. There are clothes that you can use in the top drawer. Feel free to come out whenever you feel up to it. There will be food ready for you.

Azriel

Getting out of the bed proved to be a harder task than expected, her legs were as weak as a baby faun's. She made her way towards the bathroom where she showered. Once she was clean she opened the drawer to reveal a handful of garments that were, shockingly, not black. Most of them were pink, green, or blue. She pulled on a soft green dress that reminded her of grass in the sunlight. She paired it with a gold belt and she untangled her hair as best she could with her fingers, hoping that she at least looked somewhat presentable.

Venturing out of the room, she crept quietly in the direction that seemed the most obvious. She was eventually rewarded with a table laden with baked goods. Her stomach grumbled at the delicious smelling food. Her hand reached out only to pull it back, remembering the stories.

A dark chuckle echoed from the shadows, "The food won't bite."

Cowering away she refused to indulge her hunger. She would rather starve than be trapped here, in a land devoid of sunlight and life. Turning away she made for the hallway but a shadow stopped her. Flinching back, she turned to be met by a black clothed chest. She looked up into his face, finally seeing it in better lighting. Elain was shocked to see how beautiful he was for being known by all as the Devil.

His skin was pale from the lack of sun and she could lose herself in his eyes. They were, dare she say, pretty? Her gaze glided over his skin until she was staring at his mouth. His lips were twisted into a smug grin causing her to look back into his eyes.

"Cat got your tongue?" He raised a dark eyebrow.

She ran out of the room, away from his taunting laugh that echoed through the hallways, following her. When she reached the bedroom that she had awoken in she locked the door and flung herself on the bed.

i really want seee more of cinder na mavis

Cinder’s fingers ran across the relic, feeling every groove and every piece of the glittering metal as she stood at the top of the Beacon tower. She held Mavis close, grimm claws gently running across the baby’s back. Her heart ached as her mind went back to what the crown had shown her, what all of her choices had led her to, as she played with it on her belt. Without another thought, she slowly hid it under her cloak as she made her way down the tower, making sure to be careful with Mavis.

“So?” Summer asked. “Did you find it?”

“No,” Cinder lied as she landed on the ground. “The dorms were a dead end and I couldnt find anything else in the tower. Wherever Ozpin hid it, its not here.”

“That’s a shame.” Summer sighed and leaned against the tower. “And… my daughter?”

“The one you left?”

“In order to keep her safe and out of danger! You’ll understand when your child is old enough.”

Cinder rolled her eyes and scoffed. “I refuse to let her be treated how I was.”

“And sometimes to do that, you’ll have to leave. But Ruby and Yang… they’re okay, right?”

“Ruby’s dead.” Cinder winced as she felt Summer’s hand around her throat, pressing her against the tower. She held herself still to keep Summer from pressing harder. “It wasnt me!”

“Then. Who?”

“Carmine!” Cinder dropped to her knees and gasped a bit as she felt Summer let go of her. Her arm shook as she held herself up and Mavis close to her chest. Slowly, she looked up at Summer and watched her slam the blade of her weapon into the tower door.

“Salem promised she’d be safe!”

“It was an… unforeseen problem. Ruby led people from Atlas to Vacuo, and Carmine used the chaos to her advantage.” A small smile crept across Cinder’s lips before slowly disappearing as she recounted what had happened. “Ruby wasnt intended to die, but she got in the way. Took a blow that was meant for the puppet maiden. But… that doesnt matter. I need to return to Salem and let her know the relic still cant be found.”

“You know what will happen if you return empty handed.”

Cinder nodded and picked herself up, holding Mavis close. She let out a sigh and gently rubbed Mavis’ back and started to walk off. “That’ll be my problem, not yours.”

—---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

years later

Cinder sighed as she sat down in a small cottage and dragged her fingers across the scar where her grimm arm used to be, the scarring finally being healed over. She still wasnt sure how it had come to this, running away from Salem and living off on her own, but she had to admit it was better than staying with her. Though, keeping the relic away had become more of a chore than she had wanted to admit. Grimm were still attracted to it, and with most of the kingdoms in chaos or still rebuilding, there werent many places to go. Which is how she found herself in a small village outside Mistral, trying to keep herself from being recognized.

“Mama!” Mavis called out. “Someone’s here to see you!”

Cinder sighed and adjusted her eyepatch and robe. “Probably just another hunter trying to extort us for protection,” she muttered to herself. She stood up and made her way to the door, her hand starting to heat up the handle as she opened it. “I already told you that we dont need-” she paused as she saw Emerald standing in front of her, her heart thumping in her chest as she took a step back. “-protection.”

Emerald smiled a bit. “Cinder, its really you.”

“What are you doing here?”

“The same thing as you,” Emerald said as she walked inside. “Hiding from Salem.”

Cinder rolled her eye and shut the door. “I’m not hiding from her.”

“Then why arent you with her?”

“And what makes you think that has anything to do with it?”

“Because I know you, Cinder. And you wouldnt be here unless you no longer had a reason to trust her.”

Cinder glared at her, but couldnt find the words to argue. She glanced at the small trap out of the corner of her eye, still seeing the blue smoke from the crown that haunted her. The same crown that showed her what her choices were leading to, what other choices she had in front of her.

“Arent you going to answer her?” The spirit of the crown asked as it formed next to Cinder with Ruby’s face. “You still care about her, dont you? She reminded you of yourself, the same as the child you took.”

“Shut up!” Cinder growled as she slammed a fiery ffist through the blue smoke figure.

Emerald took a step back. “Cinder? Is everything okay?”

Cinder paused for a moment and let her elemental arm fade, slowly realizing that Emerald didnt see the figure, that the crown had a hold over her that no one else knew. “I found out what Salem is planning and I left. As far as she knows, I’m dead and the crown still isnt found.”

“As far as she knows?”

“That’s all I can say.” Cinder sighed and sat down, watching Mavis play with a few dolls. “I need to stay here with Mavis and keep her safe. At least as safe as I can keep her. Salem may not need her anymore, but if others find out she’s a maiden, she wont be safe.”

“So your plan is to run and hide? You know Salem will find you.”

“And I’ll deal with that when she comes.” Cinder looked over at Emerald and frowned. “Why do you care anyway? You left first!”

“Because I know this isnt what either of us wanted!” Emerald’s body tensed up as she kept herself from moving towards Cinder. “You know things need to change, but Salem’s way isnt it. Ozpin is still fighting Salem and they’ll figure something out-”

“Emerald, leave. Please.”

“Fine. But you know she’ll come for you.”

Cinder watched Emerald leave, and then focused on Mavis again. Of course she knew Salem would be after her, and Ruby’s friends would be looking for her too once they found out what really happened all those years ago. But they also didnt understand that there was no stopping Salem.

“If you stop Salem you can keep Mavis safer.”

Cinder let out a heavy sigh, annoyed that the spirit of the crown was back. “And what, go on a suicide mission to stop Salem? You know she cant be stopped!”

“Cant she?” the spirit asked with Ruby’s voice. “What makes you say that? Have you tried?”

“And what makes you think she can be stopped?”

“Because I’ve seen the choices that have led to her defeat and you have been part of it.”

Cinder leaned back. “Do you have to use her voice?”

“No, but its what’s getting through to you.” The spirit finished forming, sitting down next to Cinder in Ruby’s form. “And because you recognize you were just like her at one point. Just because your choice was stolen from you when you were younger doesnt mean you cant reclaim it now. You know what you need to do, and I can guide you when you dont.”

“Leave me alone.”

“You know where to find me when you’re ready.”

Cinder watched the spirit fade next to her, her hand clenching as she tried to relax. Five years the crown had been getting into her head, pulling at her thoughts, giving her doubts… and it was working. Every time it spoke to her, she ended up with more clarity with what she needed to do, and now, she was torn. Her heart ached as she watched Mavis, knowing she had to keep her safe, but to truly do that, she had to stop Salem. Finally, she got up and started to make her way outside to tend the garden. One more day and then she could make her choice.

#cinder fall #summer rose #drabbles #emerald sustrai #a burning kingdom au #a burning kingdom #angsty drabbles #this probably isnt going the way anyone thought #rwby #but I'm having fun using the crown as a haunting mechanism for Cinder

||Burning desire||

Hi dears, I'm back with a drabble request today since I'm still getting a few done I'm feeling a bit more better after resting up so I can try to get this one out. *smiled*

||Drabble summary||

Another party has begun in New York and all is having fun this night. However, one person wishes to speak to another along somewhere away from the party. Rust Knight from the DBT wishes to speak to Breezy Hurricane from The cursed vixens alone. What would he like to talk about? Read to find out.

||Warning||

~Heart felt confession will happen in this drabble

~NSFW will be present in this drabble

||Guests in this drabble||

Ironia 'Rust' Knight belongs to my friend and rp partner @demon-blood-youths

And the young adult au belongs to her too since they are older in this drabble.

Anya 'Breezy' Hurricane belongs to me

((Note: Their will be grammar mistakes and errors in this drabble as others have this warning. But like I state before, this is written for fun. So I hope you like it and my friend too. Enjoy))

Rust knew he had to make his choice and he had to make it now. Ever since his team the DBT (Demon Blood Tears) along with others have gotten older over the years, seems they have gotten closer and more stronger now. However, he was...worried.

After the many adventures to the team ups and other events, things have been calm which was good. The only problem is that now he was distracted. He and his friends were hosting a party for everyone as thank you. Just having fun and dancing or talking. He on the other hand was silent, looking at the others having fun.

Now what could be distracting him? Well, it's not something.

But someone.

Anya Breezy Hurricane or a.k.a the cursed hurricane vixen has always been on his mind since they grew up to becoming friends that helped stop a crazy war with the hunters, to doing side missions together. Honestly, he was happy to have met her along with the cursed Vixens that everyone was now close and always there for each other.

However, he looks quiet to wonder; what could be wrong with him? Maybe it's due to others hitting on Breezy or maybe some trying to take her away from her team? Or was seeing someone trying to hurt her? He did have a chat with his friends but he was unsure till he got his answer.

~~~~~~~~

"I'm...what?" Rust asked again to blink, hearing what his friend Jaron said. They were talking somewhere along after Rust asked him for some advice resulting in this. The others were busy doing something else right now.

"Yeah. I mean, it's the only reason man. You been more protective of Breezy over the years and it seems you get very worried if something happened to her. It's a normal feeling even if she's unlike any girl you met before." He shrugs but Rust looks quiet to think about it.

"So you think because of that I'm jealous or am I-"

"No no. It just means you wish to keep her safe but it also means you care and love her. Heck, remember way back during that mission when she got kidnapped? You were furious that day after finding out they drained her almost bone dry of blood and you lost it right after. It took all the guys to calm you down since you only saw red while Ophelia and Hex was healing her. She was fine true but you didn't leave her side since then." He saw Rust look down remembering that. Even worse? She still had that damn bite mark on her neck. Even from when that bastard Vlad bit her. She still bares the dark blue lightning marks on her skin since that night.

"........"

"What's wrong?"

"So.....what should I do? I don't wanna sound weird and that wouldn't be like me, Jaron. I get what your saying but is this something like you and-"

"This isn't about me and Melinda right now. This is between you and Breezy. What I'm saying is; you should be honest and just tell her. Or talk to her. I'm sure Breezy would understand dude. Just be yourself....."

~~~~~~~~~

Be himself. Well, Breezy was unlike any other girl he's met and she seems to always be there to help him out as a friend and someone he's cared about. He just didn't know how to say it. With a sigh, he looks around to see Breezy happily sitting to see her team cheering with the others. They were watching Yuuka playing a SMBU match game against Oblivion but they were tied 20-20 focused.

Maybe he should talk to her.

With a sigh, he walks over after a moment while the girls were cheering but when getting there, Rust carefully pats her shoulder. "Hey Breezy????"

She blinks to look seeing Rust, she was wearing her usual wear but she still had the headband he gave her years ago.

"Huh? Hey Rust. What's up?" she smiled as Rust always figured she seriously was always happy. Even seeing the gentle look on her face really made his heart aflutter.

"Would it be alright if we talked? Somewhere private?" he asked so no one else but her heard. Breezy blinks but wonders what was wrong.

"Sure. I don't mind." she said gently to hop off her chair as Rust turns to lead her somewhere else alone. If this was true, he might as well say something now. Rust leads her and himself away from the party or at least down below so no one can hear or find them for a while. He needed to talk to her or at least get this off his chest.

In ten minutes, he sees a room and carefully opens the door to let her walk inside before he goes in and closes the door behind them. He did lock it since he wanted this to be private. The window was showing the outside behind some nice curtains with a king sized bed, dresser, table, bathroom, etc. He walks to sit down by her so the two were looking quiet knowing their friends were partying upstairs.

"Soooooo...what did you want to talk to me about?" she asked crossing her arms sitting down but Rust sighed to look at her.

"Well, I wanted to say this to you but...I guess I don't know the right words to say it. Soooo..I'm just going to go on and say it." Taking a slow breath, he started to speak.

"I know you and I are cool and we still are which I am cool with but.." She blinks to tilt her head now looking worried.

"But???"

"...."

'Come on Rust, just calm down and say it. You have to get this off your chest! '

He lets out a slow breath but looks down to think. "Look, I don't know how to say this but..I just wanna say I'm happy to have met you. Your really cool and strong. I really can see why your who you are. But..I'm also happy you are true to yourself." he said as Breezy smiled.

"Awwww thanks Rust. That's sweet of you to say." she said.

"Sure but.....when we were younger, it left me wondering about something?"

"And that is?" she asked looking to him but Rust looks at his hands then at her.

"Well, at first I knew we were gonna be good friends which is cool and I enjoy every day when we hang out, play video games, and stuff. I guess what I'm saying is...I hope in the future we will hang out more. A lot more than what we are doing now. I just really enjoy spending time with you." he keeps looking at her but Breezy blinks to tilt her head looking at him to smile.

"You silly. Of course we will. Were always hanging out chilling and we do pretty cool together in a fight. That being said, your the only one that is able to really give me a run for my money. Your amazing Rust and I'm so happy that we met each other." she smiled to place her hand on his human one as he looks to her.

"...Thanks Breezy...that means a lot." he mutters but she smiled closing her eyes.

"No problem." she giggled.

"......"

"But was that what you wanted to tell me? If so, we better return to the party. I know the others might be curious to where we went..." she said standing but he stops her still holding her wrist gently before she takes a single step.

"????" she looks back seeing Rust now looking down as he held her wrist gently in his human one.

"..N..No. Their was....something else." he said.

"Something else?" she asked looking confused, feeling him carefully pull her back towards him. He had her sit back down beside him again. She was unsure what was on his mind that made her a little worried.

"Rust? What's the matter? Did something happen? You can tell me you know that..." she looks at him then heard him sigh. Right there, she saw him lift his hand to carefully touch her cheek. He slowly rubs it with care, gazing at her eyes as it shows in the light of the moon from outside.

She blinks wondering what else it was but she looks at him while he kept holding her hand and holding her cheek with slow gentle rubs.

"....I know this might sound uncool of me but....I did want you to know, I really deeply truly care about you. I just don't like seeing you getting hurt or someone trying to. I know your strong and you can defend yourself, Breezy but after that night I just..." He stops for a moment trying not to get mad remember what those assholes did to her.

"I.....I didn't want to see you hurt. But that night when you almost died, I...I just couldn't take it. I thought I lost you after seeing you chained to that wall soaked all over on the side with your blood...I don't remember much but I knew the moment I saw that; I saw red." He keeps holding her cheek but he sees her look at him.

"......I wanted to say my feelings for you have gotten stronger over the years. I wanted to say you mean a lot to me and I know I do with you but...I just..I just wanted to tell you I wanted to at least show that to you. Ever since I confessed that day I was unsure but since I seen you hurt, others flirting with you and all I..." He looks quiet but he only sees Breezy now blushing from this. Where did this come from????

"Rust.."

"That might sound greedy of me to think that but..I couldn't bare if I was going to lose you to another. I just wanted to tell you that I can't bare that."

"I....Breezy I-" as he tried to talk his words were cut off. Their was silence in the room.

Breezy had grabbed his shirt to pull him down closer to her in order to kiss him deeply on the lips. His eyes widen from the kiss even if Breezy held his hand as he felt his face flush pink, feeling her soft lips pressed against his own.

She didn't move but held the kiss for a few moments. Right then, she breaks the kiss to look at him. She kissed him. She seriously kissed him!!!

"..........Y..You..."

"It's not greedy of you to feel that way, Rust. But I get what you mean. You already forgot though. You did confess to me and you are my boyfriend now remember? Sure we're older but you should know I'll never leave ya. You can't get rid of me that easily you know.." she mutters resting her hand on his chest now. "Besides, I'm happy to have met you too silly." she said but he only looks to her as the two still were blushing.

"Besides, you should know that no matter what happens, I'm always here for you. Nothing is going to change that.." she hopes he knew that and yet, Rust did. He only looks at her but she blinks to blushing worse. "Besides, you already proven that to me.." She reaches into her shirt showing the cloud necklace he got her years ago. She still takes care of it and wears it. She cherished it deeply as much as she did with him. Now he was speechless looking at her.

"......."

"W..What? Did I say too much? Cat got your-" She was silenced by him now with a kiss but he held her against his chest while she shook in his arms to return the kiss back. He felt her grip of both hands on the back of his grey jacket. Even if the kiss was gentle, Breezy feels him pushing something in her own mouth to feel his tongue rubbing against her own. She feels him still holding her only to break the kiss again panting softly while shaking in his arms.

"R..Ru-Mffn!" he kisses her again but he carefully had her fall back on her back still making out with her. She whimpers against his lips while feeling him kiss but she had her eyes closed while he did too. He and her was making out but hearing the sounds of kissing, shifting of clothing, and breathing he carefully breaks the kiss hearing her panting softly in the room before he moves down to start kissing her neck while laying on her.

She winces feeling the kisses but he was kissing over the area where the other demons years back bit her or tried draining her. She covers her mouth twitching but he felt that to stop for a moment.

"Y...You alright? Am I hurting you?" he asked but Breezy looks to the side blushing worse.

"N..No your n..not hurting me. It's just...where your kissing; that area has g..g..gotten very very s..sensitive. If I do too much, it makes me feel weird. I could ask you to be c...careful if you can."

"Sensitive?" he mutters against her neck as she shivers again.

"Y..Yes, not in a painful way..b..but..it makes me feel weird so just be c...careful if you..nuggghh!!" as soon as she said that, she gasps loudly to cover her mouth.

"Mmmmmm~"

Rust was kissing and sucking on that spot to make her blush worse letting out embarrassing noises. She grips the sheets while he did this and yet it made her head fuzzy.

She did breath through her nose only to feel him shifting again. He sits up just a little to remove his jacket but sets it down, lowering to kiss where she was very sensitive at.

"Mffmm...mnnnn..nnnnn....hnnnnn....mmmmmm..." She shook in his arms feeling the kissing and touching but he didn't stop. He was wondering of the noises to carefully grip her wrist and lowering it. He carefully pulls at the skin to hear Breezy softly moan out accidentally.

"Ahhhh R...rust w..wait a..mmmmmmm..." she shook feeling weird again but he keeps moves to tease her neck more and more that his hands move down slipping under the shirt she was wearing.

"Ha...hah...haaaaa...R..Rust p..pl...ease..please j..just w..wa...nnnggnn..."

He felt how warm and soft her skin saw even with a thin coat of sweat starting to form on her but he moves. Breezy thought he stopped only to feel him move but squeaks. He moved his head to now kissing her chest. Each touch of his lips moved while already holding her or pulling her closer against him.

"Ahh ahhh nuggnnn nmmmmmm....." she begins squirming again, the strange feeling was getting stronger. Heavily panting, he moves to help her sit up in his lap but she was panting with eyes close shaking in his arms. He still kisses her neck even more that his human hand slips down in between to feel something wet as she yelps to cover her mouth.

He was slowly stroking her in between her legs, feeling her shaking in his lap but he sees her about to quiet herself when he pulls her against him still panting.

"Haa haaa hah..N..Not t..there. Not there, Rust......" she begs trying to stop the noises but he only keeps a hold on her wrist moving his fingers to see her twitch leaning her head back.

"P..Please don't quiet your voice...Please I need to hear it." he said even if he knew she was shy, Breezy blushes worse to had her eyes closed letting his fingers rub against her till she twitches feeling him slip into her pants feeling her.

"Ahhh hhhaaa hhhaaa hh ahhhhhhh" she wraps her arms around Rust but he didn't stop. The touching and kissing against her neck made it worse that he was still careful while shaking. "Ahhhh...ahhhhhh..."

"I..I can't ahhhh m..my v...voice..I..I can't stop m..my....v..voice. He's r..rubbing me d..down there and my n..neck......." her upper face was hidden by her hair but he only pushes against it hearing a squish to make her bite her bottom lip.

He carefully pulls her shirt off along with her top off over her head, he leaves her front bare while she was feeling him pull her head down to gently kiss her again.

"Mmmmm~" She whimpers another quivering moan, gripping some of his hair as he begins pushing his fingers more and more against her. He felt her shaking, twitching, shuddering, and aching. Once more, he breaks the kiss to pant while hiding his face in her shoulder as she was softly moaning in the room.

"R..Rust p..please..please n..no more s..something i..is..hhaaa c..coming something i..is c..cumming.." she tried to hold it even if it felt weird Rust knew only to speed up his fingers to make her cover her mouth again.

"It's alright..you can. It's alright.." He speaks to her but he fingers kept going faster and faster getting wet. She was so close, it felt weird only for him to see her shaking. She tried holding it but couldn't that she curls her toes crying out to bite his shirt twitching. He stops feeling something wet coming out to make her buck her hips as Rust panted seeing that.

"Mffmmm mmmmm mmmmm..." He slowly pulls his fingers out showing they were wet. She must have came from the rubbing but he only heard her catching her breath that he panted himself. Everything was getting harder to stop but she hugs him tighter to make him hug her.

"....Breezy.....I...."

"..I..It..st...still burns." Wait burns? Did he hurt her? No, he didn't hurt her, he only got her heated that she was aching now. "It feels itchy deeper i..inside Rust....please, I don't know......" she was trying to speak but he blushes to look at her.

"...It's alright. I'll be sure to ease the burning down..you trust me r...right?" He asked holding her but Breezy shivers feeling his lips on her neck again. It made her moan again to look up at the ceiling.

"Y..Yes; yes I trust you j..just please...it itches....make it stop itching.." she speaks against his ear even if they were burning but he only held her tight to kiss her lips again. He felt her lowering a hand in between them to slip into his own pants that he tenses up feeling her hand. She blushes worse but kisses him deeply again.

~~~~~~~~Meanwhile at the party~~~~~~~~~

"Do you think Rust is finally talking to her after he was so nervous about it?" Vivi asked Shdwkyz who was drinking some tea by her.

"Knowing him, I'm sure he is. Besides, we been trying to tell him to just be open with himself. He should be fine after." he mutters but Vivi looks to him but ahead.

"That's good to know. He should always be open to her. She's always been there for him like he is with her. I know they will open up more two one another.." she drinks some of her tea but they didn't know he was. Both her and Rust were indeed.

~~~~~~~Back with Rust and Breezy~~~~~~~~~

"Mmmmm..mmmmmmm...mmmmm!!" Breezy was moving on Rust's lap, holding his hands while he was panting seeing her taking him in slowly but carefully. She only lets out cute noises for him to only hear, her hair out from their two braids and loose down to her upper back. Her hair did grow out a bit over the years but Rust keeps thrusting up into her deeply. However, he sneaks in a few fast thrusts hearing her moans growing louder as she tries to quiet down.

"Ahhh ahhhh your t..tight and really we..wet. Are you still mmmmm okay? Do I need to nuggh s..slow down?" he asked seeing her panting and moving her hips, her hands were shaking as her body was burning with desire.

"I..I'm mmmmm f..f...fine. I'm f..fine. It just f..feels really hot that's a..a..all....b..but are you o...okay?" she looked dazed even if he also left a hickey on her neck that he slowly nods to sit up hugging her.

"I'm alright..I wanna be sure your alright and I'm not hurting you." He sees Breezy look at him even if they held hands, she lets his hands go to wrap around his shoulders now stopping her hips with tears of pleasure running down her cheeks.

"You know I'm st..strong silly besides, y..you don't have t..to worry...I'm f..f...fine. I'm still ahhhhh t.. taking it a..all mmmmmm.." he was panting against her lips, both soaked in sweat even with their clothes on the floor. However, he held her tighter to start thrusting up a bit faster that she gasped whining.

"Ahhhh ahhhhh s..so f..fast..y..your thrusting f..fa...naahhh!!"

"I'm s..sorry just f..feels too good....I don't wanna hurt you but my hips won't..." He was trying to speak but she only looks down still holding his hands.

"I..It's ahhhh o..okay...I'm okay..mmmm..it's just really...g..good so p..please...." She leans in about to kiss him but he moves to kiss her neck thrusting up into her as she gasps wrapping her legs around his waist while he sits up thrusting up deeper into her. She was tightening around him making her throw her head back moaning out his name.

He already felt hot but the desire of wishing to see her happy and smiling, he wanted nothing else but that. Seeing her here in his arms made him love her even more. He sits up but she was sitting with her arms behind her thrusting down as he moves up. The two just moan loudly in the room even with the heat of their breaths showing in the air. Her glowing eyes hidden with Rust's own glowing.

He wanted to hear her voice,

He wanted to see her happy,

He wanted to protect her as she would with him,

Breezy means a lot to him and he only wishes to see her safe.

Panting heavily, he makes her lay down again that she yelps gripping the pillow above her head. As she tries to speak, she feels him increasing his speed making her moan out arching her back.

"Gahh!!"

"Haaah hhaaa Breezy...Breezy I....." He held her fist up hands while his eyes were closed even if he heard her moans in the room. The slickness between them only made her move her head back even more against the pillow.

"I l..love you..I love you...I fucking love you..." he groans going faster that he grips the pillow as well as she tightens around him. Hearing him say that did something to make her tighten around him as he twitched inside.

"D..don't say t..that now..n..ahhhh....not now I..." she whines feeling hotter but he was bucking his hips panting against her neck.

"It's true; I do. I want you to be h...ahhhh..happy and here with me. I care about you; Breezy. I love you......" he saw her blushing worse with tears and yet, she knew he was honest.

"Ahhh R..Rust I..it's close again. I c..can't..I can't take much more!" she moans crying but he lowers kissing her on the lips while still thrusting his hips wishing to know only for her to and him feeling close that he moves to bite onto her neck carefully making her squeak.

'I can't..I can't take anymore! My body..c..cumming again..I'm gonna cum!!' she screams in her head drooling dazed while Rust was pounding against her still keeping her close.

Both her and him arches against one another before he lets go feeling her tightening around him that she arches off the bed against his chest as they moan together loudly.

"C..Cumming!!!! I'm cumming!" Was screamed in both Rust and Breezy's head at the same time while he twitches climaxing as she did too. He panted heavily while still holding the pillow panting in shudders. His hair was damp but covering his eyes. Breezy was twitching while regaining her breath but she was feeling him lay on top of her while she was flushed. He own eyes were covered as she was trying to breath shaking from the pleasure she went through with him.

~~~~~~~~~~~

Breezy and Rust were now laying there but she was having her head pet while he was wondering if she was mad at him. However, he was seeing her shift to look at him.

"Y..You okay?" Was what he said but she only gently nods to look at him blushing.

"I..I'm alright b..but.....do you mean what you said? When you said you loved me?" she asked but he Blushes to gently touch her cheek.

"I did mean that. Besides, I don't lie to someone I care about. That goes for my friends too..." he saw her look at him but she blushes to move and gently kiss his lips again with a light peck.

".....Then I know you always are honest. I love you too silly dork or I've always like liked you as we grew up..Seems we both were unsure huh?" she asked but Rust blushed to hug her against his chest.

"Then I guess we are both good......I'm just happy to know I have a awesome strong girl so thank you Breezy." he said kissing her forehead but she smiled to kiss his cheek.

"Your welcome and that goes for you too."

The two smiled blushing but they decided to rest up for a bit before they would head back to the party. That was hours ago though but they were able to get cleaned up and get dressed again (good thing they didn't rip their clothes off one another) Before heading back to the party. Of course everyone didn't notice they disappeared but Echo and Navarro was seeing them.

"Well, did Rust finally talk with you after that time? He must have had something important to say." Vivi asked Breezy while she blinks to smile.

"You could say that. I'm just happy to know we had a good talk." she said smiling while the girls were happy to hear. Vivi blinks but sees her happy.

"And you too?" Shdwkyz asked Rust who was happy and nods.

"Yeah. We had a good talk." he said as they were happy but the team members were happy for that. When they went off to keep enjoying the party, Breezy and Rust blushed from the inside but she did wrap her fingers around some of his own with a smile.

Seems things were good between the two. A good but sweet though isn't it?
