A cupcake for his cupcake 🧁
Happy birthday my beautiful Yan! Hope you have the best day darling, you deserve only the best things 🌻 💕 @crazyyanderefangirlfan
Tumblr media
Beel has been planning this for months now, it shouldn't be this hard. Making cupcakes for your birthday sounded simple enough. Boy was he wrong! He thought he could get away with one trial run, but it had been such a disaster that he decided he'd need heaps more.
The cupcakes always turned out perfect, fluffy, moist, and with the perfect amount of frosting. It was him that was the problem, he always ends up demolishing them as soon as they were finished. He'd even tried making more so that he could eat some and then have some left for you. But the ones he made just for him ended up having the opposite affect, they were like a gate-way drug. He couldn't get enough of those little cake shaped bits of heaven.
Every dream he's had this month has involved cupcakes. The better ones also featured you; you as a cupcake, you eating cupcakes, you naked with cupcakes, you feeding him cupcakes. Honestly, if he were anyone else he would be sick to death of them. The closer it got to your birthday the more you featured in his cupcake fuelled dreams.
This is the day, FINALLY, your birthday. It needs to be perfect. He wants to see the look of pure pleasure on your beautiful face as you bite into the vanilla flavoured dessert. A foodgasim caused by food that he prepared. That's all he wants. That and any left over cupcakes you don't want, he'll definitely want those too.
So far everything is going off without a hitch. He's made enough cupcakes to fill in the heart shape he's creating. Not a single cupcake has been popped into his mouth, he made sure to fill up on food and snacks before he started. Now to do the frosting; he's chosen your favourite colours; blue, green and purple. They remind him of a cute mermaid he saw once while he was helping Levi clean barnacles off of Lotan. She wasn't nearly as cute as you though, his lovely, funny, gorgeous and charming sweetheart. No one could ever compare.
Almost finished, just one last part to finish.... Oops! He's squeezed the pipping bag to hard and it's exploded all over him. Some lands just above his lip and on reflex his tongue darts out to lick it into his mouth. As soon as his taste buds register the sweet taste his nostrils flare and his eyes go wide. More, need more he thinks to himself before ripping the piping bag open and bringing it to his mouth. Devouring every little bit he can.
Your POV:
You've been looking for the big guy all morning, kind of bummed that you didn't get to wake up in his strong arms. Maybe get some sweet good morning kisses, instead you rolled over to find a cute pink heart shaped post-it note, no doubt stolen from Asmo, that said "Happy Birthday Beautiful, I'll come find you shortly. Love you cupcake."
You pull out the note again as you think of it, swiping your thumb over the written out pet name he uses for you. It brings a sweet little smile to your lips, thinking about him trying to be as quiet as possible writing it out and placing it beside you as you slept. Ugh! Where is he? You NEED to kiss him.
Rounding the corner in the hallway you walk past the open door to the kitchen. You freeze in your tracks, glancing sideways you see your boyfriend stuffing his face with some sort of cake and a torn piping bag stuck to his shirt.
"Beel?" You say question softly. A hand coming up to stifle your giggles when you see him abruptly stop and turn towards you.
"Baby, I'm sorry. I ruined your surprise." His words come out a bit muffled because of the cake he's still eating but you hear the sorrow in his voice and the sadness in his eyes has you walking across the room towards him.
"It's ok!" You reassure him immediately. You pull the pipping bag off his shirt and let it fall to the ground. "What was the surprise? Because finding you in the kitchen like this is quite a surprise." You laugh while pressing your hand to the side of his face, trying to brighten his mood.
"Don't laugh.. I was making you some cupcakes for your birthday... And I, I got carried away when I accidentally tasted the frosting. I'm so sorry." Wrapping his arm around your waist he pulls you close so youry flush up against his solid chest. His big pink and violet eyes still so full of guilt, looking into yours.
"Aww pumpkin, don't look so sad. It's really the thought that counts to me." You caress his jaw before using your fingers to wipe some frosting off his top lip and bring it to your lips to taste.
"Ohh ... Mmmmmmhhhn." You can't help but moan a little at the taste, closing your eyes as you do, getting a little lost in the flavour. It's perfectly sweet with hints of vanilla, melting instantly on to your tongue.
Coming back from your little experience you open your eyes to find Beel smiling brightly down at you. He moves his big hands up your body to cup your face.
"You like it?" He's almost vibrating with happiness as he asks. You nodd enthusiastically up at him matching his bright smile with your own.
Leaning down he kisses you, taking your breath away with the sweetness of the frosting still lingering on his lips. You thread your fingers through his hair and tug, making him open wider letting you slide your tongue into his mouth. Swallowing all of his delicious groans.
His hands leave your face in favour of roaming your body, grabbing your ass with one hand and slipping under your shirt to rest a hand on your stomach with the other.
You squeal when he grabs your ass roughly, and he takes that opportunity to claim your jaw and neck for his own. Kissing sweetly down your jaw, then sucking and nipping at your neck. Your breathy moans turn to needy whines when the hand that was on your stomach slips under your bra and rolls your hardened nipple between his fingers.
"Beeeeeeeel." You whine between pants.
"Yeah, Cupcake? You need something?" He asks between kisses, his voice is low and laced with desire.
"You, please... I neeeeed you." You whine again and he answers with a growl. You're pressed so close to him you can feel it vibrating through his chest.
He picks you up with out warning and throws you over his shoulder with ease. You squeal his name when he smacks you on the ass while he walks to the door.
"Calm down cupcake. We're going back to your room so I can show you what else I've got planned for your birthday."
Botched cupcake making completely forgotten, he's got other plans for you now, much funer plans that involve two people. And then later he can give your the charm necklace he had made for you.
A delicate gold chain with a cupcake pendant that is bewitched to change colour to match your different outfits. He has had it engraved on the back: "Yours for all eternity - Beel"

🧑‍🦰, 🐒, 🤔 & 💝!
Thank you so much for the ask! 💙
🧑‍🦰 - Have they ever dyed their hair? Ever cut it themself?
Jeff is going through a bit of a metamorphosis at the moment, so this question came at the perfect time 💙
He is a natural brunette, but his hair changed to a blue-green a few years ago. It's not set in stone yet if he actually maintains this look through bleach and hair dye or if the hue he has now is due to a mutation. (Jeff, probably: Guess I had one Quantum too many~)
Jeff absolutely cuts his hair, though. It's still on the long side, but not too long to where it becomes unmanageable or gets caught on something during combat. Both humidity and freshly washed hair cause it to take on more of a fluffy look, which Jeff sheepishly keeps hidden under his hat. 
The beard that he used to have may be another story for another time. But, I can share that when Jeff first showed up to work clean-shaven for the first time, one of his close friends (Nuked.Corn) didn't recognize him at all. 
Currently, the slight facial hair that he's sporting is referred to by other wastelanders as the "Daddy-O."
🐒 - What’s their favorite animal?
Oh, Jeff loves finding cats out on his adventures. So cute! If he wasn't away for so long with the Blue Ridge Caravan, he would absolutely have a cat or three. Until then, he'll make sure to give all of the cats a cuddle (if they let him) and offer whatever he's carrying food-wise that would be safe for them. 💙
Tumblr media
Of course, Jeff is also partial to flamingos. He would love to meet more of Brian's family along his travels 🦩
🤔 - What’s something they’ll never understand?
Jeff will never understand the Pip-Boy 2000 Mark VI and why on earth he is stuck wearing the hunk of scrap on his wrist. 
"Emily. You're telling me that this thing here is keeping me alive?" 
Emily doesn't miss the glare and little pout that Jeff gives to the machine on his left wrist. It's almost cute. As always, she entertains him. "Unfortunately, there's only one way to find out, handsome."
Jeff considers her words for a moment, then goes to open his mouth to speak and–
"Jeff, NO."
Do I really need it, though? Jeff asks himself. When Emily saved me, did her dormant inner-Raider choose to bestow this curse upon me? What if I trip and the only way I can avoid, say, a massive rock, is if I use this thing to break my fall? What if I ask Aries to look at it, using his big brain and/or knife? Oh! Maybe a brahmin at work could accidentally trample over it, or a Sheepsquatch could use it as a chew toy!? Adorable! 
Satisfied with his options, Jeff grinned at Emily. 
[Emily disliked that] 
Jeff eyed the mocking green text in front of him and sighed. 
Because it could very well be the one thing keeping Jeff alive these days and no one is willing to remove it for him, not even Brian, he will keep wondering. 
💝 - What gestures do they really appreciate? How do you get on their good side?
Jeff is someone who shows his love and appreciation through acts of kindness/service, so if he receives even a fraction of what he gives, he's happy. 
Words of thanks, encouragement, and being wanted/needed also mean a lot to him 💙
"Thanks, Jeff!" 
"Glad you're on our side."
"Finally, someone with the guts to help." (This one is...acceptable, yes.)
"I'm counting on you. I mean it." 
"If you're in the area, stop by!"
"Hey, Jeffy~"
"This made me think of you!"
"Oh, have I got a story for you!"

20 OTP Questions
tagged by @courier-sux ♡♡
tagging: @pinaplelee, @jatne-jezra, whoever else has ships they want 2 Yell about
Dominick & Charon - "Violent Delights"
(I have yet to draw Charon, but here's Dom)
Tumblr media
1. Who can out drink the other?
For the first couple years they work together, Charon could beat Dominick easily, if only because of how unaccustomed he was to drinking alcohol in large quantities. Once he builds up his tolerance, however, they're a pretty even match. But Charon can still hold up better than Dom when drunk.
2. Who says "I love you" more?
Neither of them say it for a long time, mostly because of Dominick refusing to act on his own feelings 'since he doesn't want Charon just.. Reciprocating only because of the contract. But when things are finally out in the open, it's likely Charon who actually says it more often. Only while they're alone, of course, but it always breaks through Dom's angry and bitter barriers and he never fails to say, or show that he loves him too.
3. Who has trouble sleeping alone?
Dominick struggles the most, after having grown up in Vault 101, surrounded by other people constantly. He doesn't admit it, but he gets a lot of nightmares that always end up worst when he sleeps alone. It takes Charon a long time to actually realize because of how closed off Dom is, but so long as he doesn't mention it, Dominick is almost always willing to sleep right beside, or cuddled up with Charon to lessen the stress and panic from nightmares. Being held.. Helps.
4. Who swears more?
Dominick swears more, but also talks more in general. He can't stop himself from involving himself and being a dick a lot of the time, and says way too many things he shouldn't. Most sentences that leave his mouth have some swear word in them.
5. Who does more of the housework?
Charon. Dominick is.. A little lazy, at least in terms of taking care of their house. He doesn't avoid it altogether, but he needs a push from Charon to actually remember that he should help.
6. Who forgets their anniversary?
They don't exactly have one, or care about specific dates as they don't keep track most of the time anyway. They do occasionally switch off on being sweet and treating each other though, similarly to anniversary dates or whatnot. Mostly, they're more like, every day could be our last, who gives a shit about specific dates?
7. Who steals the duvet in their sleep?
Dominick moves in his sleep a hell of a lot more than Charon in general, so most of the time, he steals the covers. But at the same time, he often curls into his chest or side, so it's too sweet to matter.
8. Who keeps the other awake at night with their snoring?
Dominick doesn't snore, but Charon does occasionally. It's rarely ever an issue though, since Dom is almost always the first to fall asleep just because of Charon wanting to watch over him and make sure he does get some sleep.
9. Who finds stray animals and begs the other to let them keep them?
Dominick finds stray animals, but he doesn't beg Charon to let him keep them, he makes that decision for himself, and Charon just rolls his eyes and goes with it. Because the bastard is a lil bit cute when he's all but draped over a puppy he found on the side of the road somewhere.
10. Who usually makes dinner?
They switch off. Charon has some good experience for using what they have available in the Wasteland, meanwhile Dominick has some experience from learning how to cook back in the vault. Sometimes, if they aren't exhausted, they work together.
11. Who plays their music out loud?
Dominick keeps his Pip-Boy tuned to Galaxy News Radio constantly, at least while they're on the road. He needs the background noise, and while Charon got annoyed at first, he eventually stops paying mind to it, and sometimes is amused by Dominick humming or tapping along to certain songs.
12. Who hogs the bathroom?
Neither of them. Charon doesn't care that much about his appearance, and Dominick is.. More insecure than he lets on, and doesn't like Observing himself. Being both ghoulified and having a lot of cyborg parts makes him :///
13. Who gives the most compliments?
They're about equal in how many they give, but it's all dependent on where they are, what they're doing, and the actual compliment. Charon gives more compliments in public, mostly when Dom does something to warrant them, or if he does need a reminder that Charon genuinely cares about him. Sometimes, the compliments veer more towards "you're dangerous and scary and it's hot ♡", which suits Dom just fine.
But when its Dom giving compliments, they're mostly in private, especially if they're doing anything sexual or like. Veering towards it. At first, it was like. General compliments without much weight, but after a while, Dominick ended up softening a lot during those situations (most of the time, at least. sometimes he's still. scary and hot.) and his compliments are sweeter and more specific.
14. Who usually starts/causes arguments between them?
It's almost always Dominick who starts arguments, and Charon who reaches out first after they've cooled off. Most of the time, they argue about Dominick's safety, mostly because of how many enemies he has and dangerous situations he puts himself in. They don't argue as much as it seems like they would, however, because of how startlingly similar they are, they can just talk it out most of the time.
15. Who isn't afraid to embarrass the other in public?
Charon without fail. Dominick isn't hard to embarrass, if you know what you're doing, and he gets a mix of flustered and angry, which Charon finds amusing every time.
16. Who gives the other cringe-worthy pet names?
Neither have a lot of pet names at all, but Charon enjoys the ones that get to Dominick in some way (mostly good ways), like boss, handsome, uhhh others I can't think of right now. Dominick feels weird saying pet names in general, but will very rarely go with more traditional ones like baby.
17. Who fusses over the other when they get sick?
Charon has to actually force Dominick to stay down and not make things worse for himself, meanwhile Dominick complains and sort of dotes on Charon, then complains even louder and eventually just cuddles up with him.
18. Who finds it impossible to stay angry at the other for long?
Neither of them can stay angry with the other for too long. Charon knows that Dominick is just bitter and very rarely actually means to make him mad, and he can be cute when he wants affection. And Dominick just.. thinks about how long they've stuck together, and that Charon cares about him even after he was an ass for several years, and he softens.
19. Who clings to the other for comfort when they're sad or scared?
Dominick is more willing to reach out first, albeit he does it without ever wanting to mention that he did again. He'll be the one to latch onto Charon at night or when he's upset, and tries to notice when Charon himself is upset, and will sit in his lap or collapse on him to give him comfort first. It doesn't go unnoticed or unappreciated.
20. Who is more ‘physically passionate’? (hugs, kisses, or maybe more…)
Most of the time, Dominick is the first to initiate anything intimate, but after that, Charon does enjoy taking some control and continuing where Dom left off. On other occasions, when Dominick purposefully riles Charon up, he will actually be the first to initiate more intimate things, which Dominick thinks is great. Most times, they match each other in intensity, though.

Infinity Chapter 4-
Meet The Family (PT.1)
Summary: QUEEN AU where Rog (aka Rowan Queen) is a young single dad struggling to make it into music industry.
Warnings: not really. Just fluff, sappiness and swearwords here and there
Disclaimer: I don't own the pictures. The boys are based on Queen, but Piper, Gina and Callie are mine
John: Rick Lincoln (Cause he is John Richard Deacon born on August 19th 1951™™™™™)
Brian: Terry Garrett (Cause my uncle used to have a black puddle named Terry and I had no choice)
Freddie: Len Mars (Yea I couldn't help myself)
Chapter 4- Row opens up with the boys about the raisin.
“I'm a dad”........
"Okay, let's... let's get over this again: A daughter?" Terry, the band's guitarist couldn't believe his ears.
"Yes, Terry. A daughter" Row repeated for the 19th time from the other side of the phone.
"A baby." Len said, taking another sip of his tequila.
"No, a 30 year old alpaca." Row said sarcastically. "Yes, a goddamn baby. Fucking gorgeous, just so you know"
"And you're gonna keep her." Rick, who had been quietly plunking his bass' strings, added. "Are you sure?"
"It's done. I've already kept her. And it's not like I'm rescuing a shelter dog. She's mine. Period."
"Sorry, was just trying to... Wrap my head around it"
To be honest, Row still couldn't quite believe it (that he was a father). Not even now, as he tried to convince his best friends while holding his girl with the other arm.
"And is your mom okay with it?" Terry asked
He scoffed, clutching his Lil raisin close at the thought "My mom has no say in this".
"But she knows" Rick said.
He sighed "Yes, she knows. And she was a bitch about it, okay? She can disown me for all I care". It's not like there was much to inherit, anyway.
There was a general sigh from his three best friends.
"And what are you gonna do?"
" 'bout what?"
"Um, I don't know, man. About School? Maybe about your life in general?"
"School ain't something I'm worrying about".
"What a surprise" Rick rolled his eyes.
"But you're still in the band right?" Len said
"Oh, of course. Of course. You guys are gonna be the only ones keeping me sane"
They chuckled
"But we ain't gonna babysit for you, huh?"
"As if you knew anything about babies"
"Well, the same as you." Terry said
"Just what I was saying: nothing at all" Row grinned
"Her future looks bright, then" Len half teased.
"Incandescent, in fact" Row could pretty much hear Terry's arched eyebrow.
The youngest member could only roll his eyes and try not to take it as an insult. He knew this was a lot to process all of a sudden and that in the inside, beyond the sarcasm and teasing, they were happy for him.
"Whatever, guys" he replied, as Pips began to frown. He sighed, knowing that meant smelly treat was on its way "Gotta go. By the way, she just told me she thinks you guys stink" he grinned, before hanging up.
The other three men exchanged a confused glance, and stayed in silence for a minute, until Len broke it:
"I say he'll go completely nuts in seven days".
"That long? Nah, I think less than 24 hours after they leave the hospital." Terry said
Len smirked "Bet?"
"I'm a bit tight at the moment, pal"
"Then not money. If I win, you'll be my model for the midterm design project. It's 30's fashion. For ladies, of course".
"Ok. But if I win you'll do my chores for a whole weeks."
"A whole week?!"
"Seven days, if you prefer it."
They shook hands "Deal. Rick? Join us?"
"I actually rather believe that they'll be alright" Rick got up and stretched.
"Well of course they will. Eventually. Row always figures things out." T said
"The fun part is to watch him go crazy in the meantime" Len chuckled "Like when he first moved in and left a fork in the plate when first using the microwave"
They laughed, remembering how their friend had called them at 9 PM in panic, screaming the microwave had exploded.
"Let's just hope for the best. I mean he seemed quite sure of himself this time. And who knows, maybe being a dad is the best way to grow up." Rick defended
"Yea, well a bit radical, don't you think?" Len said
"Like sock therapy. If smokers quit when diagnosed with lung cancer, maybe Row settles down now he has a baby"
"I just still don't get why he didn't just put her in adoption" T said
Rick shrugged "Would you if you were in his shoes?"
"Absolutely"
"That's exactly how Row would've answered, say, a week ago. That's what we all answer. Until it really happens. I think it's one of those situations where you can't really picture until you live it."
"But this is Rowan Queen we're talking about. Rowan <<Made out with both Jones Twins at the same party Cause I didn't remember which was which>> Queen. I mean, he does know that a kid is gonna freeze his sex life for indefinite time, right? What the hell was going through his head?" Terry said
"I can't believe you think that." Len interjected "I mean, I'm the one who's never gonna be a dad here, and the one who failed biology, but even I get it. He met her right? Before any decision was made, he met her. Once you meet your kid, you're tangled up forever. And you might think you're not but if you give them away you'll never get rid of a feeling of remorse."
"Wow, Lenny, that was deep"
"Yea, where'd you get that from?"
"Just common sense."
"Funny, considering you're the one who's started the bet" Rick grinned
"One thing doesn't prevent the other. And out of the two of us, I'm the optimistic! He gave him one day, I gave him seven! I trust him"
"Well I'm not sure if I do. I mean, I love him, he's a great guy, a great musician, and everything else, but he's not reliable. Remember his first job as a waiter? I'm still waiting for the fish and chips I ordered last April"
The other two chuckled "I once lent him a t-shirt, and I swear I saw Liz Michael's wearing it" Len said
"See what I mean?"
"Yes, well, we can't do anything about it, T. It's his life"
"But this affects us too, one way or another. This affects the band. And he didn't even consult us"
"Well what did you expect him to do? Call and go <<Hey guys, are you fine with me having a daughter? No? Okay, just checking. Bye>>?" Rick imitated a phone with his hand, doing a decent impression of their friend's high voice.
"A head's up would have been nice"
"Terry, just chill for fucks shake. I mean, this is unexpected, but Row's our best friend, our brother, and we have to support him. Because, if he's a dad, that's makes us her uncle's. And it'll be fun having a little niece we can spoil" Len smiled at the idea.
"Spoil? With what money?" Terry, always realistic, put his hands on his hips
"With the upcoming tour's, of course darlings" he twirled majestically around the room
"First, that's in four months" Rick reminded
"If it does happen at all"
They still had one last song to arrange And record. Plus, they didn't know how Row was gonna make it work now he had a baby. But nobody addressed that concern out loud.
"Oh don't be so goddamn negative, fellas! C'mon! We're uncle's! Row's made a very important, life-changing, mature decision, and we should be proud of him. So" he went to the fridge and returned with three beers "I say we toast for him and the lil Queenie"
The other two grinned and accepted the cans, opening them.
"Oh, I say we Split a fourth beer in his behalf, cause parents shouldn't drink while breastfeeding" Terry mocked, earning a laugh
"To the Queens" Rick raised his can "For our little bro to take this seriously and not fuck this kid up"
"To the Queens" Terry and Len crashed theirs as well.

Meanwhile, in the hospital...
"Goddamn it, raisin! How can someone so small produce so many colors of something so stinky?" Row exclaimed, holding his breath as he clipped the fresh nappy on his daughter "We only feed you milk! Like... Like white milk! How can you turn a white liquid into rainbow pudding? Holy shit" he held the dirty one at arms length and threw it in the bin "It's a damn good thing I love you, cause I won't do this for anyone else" he told her, lifting her up to his chest again before walking around the room
"You gonna be a good girl for me for the next eighteen years? Huh?" He kissed her chubby cheek "What am I saying? You're my daughter, of course you're gonna be a trouble maker. But we'll get along, you'll see. I ain't gonna be like my parents. Don't worry. I won't be a bloody pain in the ass like mom, and I will never ever do anything my old man did. That I can promise. But I gotta admit I do want you to be like Gina. Yea, she's a control freak sometimes, but let's face it: she's gotta be the strongest person I've ever met. You should've seen her kicking the bastard out the house. She took no shit."
He smiled somewhat proudly at the memory, and for a second forgot how mad he was at her for turning her back on them.
"You wanna be a badass gurl like her? Huh? Yes you do. Yes you do" he cooed, craning his neck so he could brush his nose with her little button one. Her fist chose to close around the nearest strands of blond hair on reach, which he found secretly adorable.
But a part of him did wish he had mom's support. After all, despite the rough patches through his teens, they had always had each other's back; through thick and thin. She had have to raise him all alone, and although he hadn't even begun with Pips, he already knew it hadn't been easy. She may be stern, and a bit inflexible when it came to negotiating allowance. She could come across as rude if you caught her in the wrong mood (which many neighbors had) but above all she was a good person and a good mother.
And looking back, he hadn't been such a great son. He could have been more responsible, less handful and more obedient. Less rebellious, too. He could have thanked her more often for the thousand things she did everyday. For the meals. For all the jobs she had taken to provide for the two of them. For the surprise birthday gift she had got him with the money she had been saving: a real drum kit. For helping him move out her house into that one room crappy appartement which would be Pip's home.
But still she had rejected Piper without a second thought, regardless of her anger towards him; Pips was her granddaughter, she had done nothing wrong and as her father, Row doubted he would ever forgive Gina.
He sighed, untangling the hand of his hair and bringing it to his lips "But you don't have to worry about all that. Just concentrate on staying strong and growing up. And I promise I'll focus all of me on being the best dad. That you'll never miss a mom cause you don't need one. You've got me and I swear I'll be enough. Even if I'm still young: I'll have it all more fresh won't I?" He grinned "You're the one person who's never judged me yet, and I don't wanna let you down"

That a was vow. And he was determined to keep it.

This one goes to my mega-paragraphist @definitely-darcy who's got my engine going through the usual inspiration blocks, and who's reviews help me improve. She's made me believe in this fic, and encouraged me to keep going despite the one digit notes.
