kiss prompt if ur still taking those! 8, frenrey? ;w;

(Kiss Prompt List)

8. …in secrecy.

Gordon heard the gurgling of the headcrab zombie first. Benrey was in the middle of some monotone tirade about Neon Genesis Evangelion, so Gordon just grabbed him and yanked him through the closest doorway he saw.

It turned out to be a storage closet, complete with shelves of chemicals and a mop bucket on the floor. One of Gordon’s feet went into the bucket, and he only just kept the mop handle from banging the side of his head by fending it off with his shoulder.

“Why - what the hell, man?” Benrey grumbled, pressed up against the chest of the HEV suit. Gordon tugged the door closed and shushed him. They were both out of ammo - they’d fallen off a catwalk and gotten separated from the rest of the Science Team a few hours before. They could maybe take one headcrab zombie in a bare-knuckle fight - but where there was one, there were usually more.

“Shut up,” Gordon hissed when Benrey seemed like he wanted to keep talking. The guard mumbled something and shifted his weight, leaning harder against Gordon.

In the corridor outside, something dragged. Something else made a noise from further up the hallway. Fuck, there was definitely more than one, and Gordon’s crowbar was pinned between his hip and the shelving units. Maybe he could take down two -

From the direction they had come from, a chirping yelp echoed, and Gordon’s stomach dropped. Fucking peeper puppies…some must have survived the fall. He huffed out a breath and sank back against the wall. They would have to wait for the adversaries to move on.

“Why’re we in here?” Benrey mumbled, and Gordon hissed at him again.

“Shut - you gotta stay quiet,” he whispered. “There’s a bunch of shit - I can hear things outside, okay? And we have no way to defend ourselves right now, unless you’re hiding more bullets somewhere.”

Benrey glanced up and wiggled his eyebrows.

“Ew, gross, dude!” Gordon snickered. He tipped his head back and felt plastic jugs shifting behind him.

Benrey’s head moved to follow the sound of bottles bumping together. Gordon couldn’t perceive much detail on his face with the door closed, but enough light leaked in from the hall that he could at least see the shape of him.

“D’you, uh…got a permit for that?” At least he was keeping his voice low.

“For fuck’s sake, what?” Gordon muttered.

“Chemical usage should be, uh, performed by trained personnel only,” Benrey said. “You’re not in any - you need some pee-pee-ee. S’gotta be…Ohio complaints.”

Gordon ducked his face into the shoulder of the HEV suit to muffle his semi-hysterical laughter. “It’s OSHA, man, not fucking Ohio,” he hissed. “OSHA-compliant. Who fucking - Ohio complaints? What the fuck?”

A flash of something bright - Benrey’s teeth gleaming in the dark. “Yeah, no, pretty sure it’s Ohio, Tommy talks about it all the time -”

Outside in the hallway, something growled. Gordon realized quickly that one hand was holding the door closed, and the other hand was keeping Benrey close. If he wanted to shut the guard up, he didn’t have many options.

“Benrey, shhh!”

“- and the food is all, uh, checked by the Florida -” Benrey was saying. A peeper puppy chirp sounded from what seemed to be directly on the other side of the door.

Gordon panicked.

Benrey made a startled noise when Gordon leaned down and kissed him, hard. It was purely to stop him from talking, okay? Bros kissed sometimes, it didn’t have to be weird. This was life or death - or at least, life or maiming from terrifying headcrab zombies.

Gordon’s hands may have been occupied, but Benrey’s hands were not - and he proved this by bending his arms awkwardly in the close space and cupping Gordon’s cheeks. Benrey leaned into the kiss with surprising enthusiasm, and Gordon suddenly found himself taking a backseat to the whole experience.

He supposed this shouldn’t be a surprise - after all, Benrey had made comments about kissing him before. He just hadn’t thought he was serious. But, judging by the desperation in Benrey’s grip, the subtle trembling of his fingers on Gordon’s jaw…this was very serious to him.

Well. Gordon wasn’t entirely opposed to that.

He pulled back to catch his breath, and Benrey leaned up on tiptoe to chase his lips, mumbling, “no, come back,” under his breath.

Something in the corridor thumped. Okay, stealth mode still engaged. Gordon dipped his chin for another kiss.

What had started out as a method to shut Benrey up and keep them from getting killed quickly turned into something else. The hand Gordon had on Benrey’s back migrated up to the base of his neck, holding him tight against Gordon’s front. Benrey licked into Gordon’s mouth and a rainbow of flavors burst across his tongue. A stray note of sweet voice beeped out of the corner of Benrey’s mouth, so Gordon sealed their lips tighter to keep the sound in. Benrey didn’t seem to mind.

After a few more moments of trading increasingly-lazy kisses, Gordon tipped his head back and listened hard. The corridor was silent. Benrey breathed slowly against Gordon’s throat - either he’d finally gotten that they needed to be quiet, or he was just shocked by the sudden fulfillment of his oft-stated desires to kiss Gordon Freeman.

“Okay, I think we’re good,” Gordon murmured. For some reason, he was loath to open the door - it felt like breaking the seal on something sacred. He couldn’t say he hadn’t enjoyed the kissing, but there was no way it could continue. It had been a momentary lapse of judgment for the sake of secrecy and safety. No one could argue with that.

Except, apparently, Gordon’s brain could. It was currently telling him he should forget about the outside chaos and just spend a few more hours in this storage closet with Benrey. The guard’s hands were currently wandering across the HEV suit as he mumbled something unintelligible to himself.

“What?” Gordon said.

“Better’n good,” Benrey said, a little louder.

Gordon flushed, and hoped Benrey couldn’t see that in the dark. “I meant - I mean I think everything’s gone, outside,” he said.

“There was stuff outside?”

“Yes, you idiot, that’s why -” Gordon sighed heavily. “Never mind. Let’s just go.”

“Aw,” Benrey complained, and winced when Gordon pushed the door open a bit to check the corridor. The light was awfully bright, but it illuminated nothing more than bare walls and an empty floor. Somehow, they seemed to have evaded detection.

“Ohio wouldn’t be very happy with this,” Benrey said, poking at an unlabeled bottle of green liquid.

“Ohio’s a state, Benrey,” Gordon replied, shoving the door all the way open and peering out into the hall. “And not even a very good one.”

“Oh,” Benrey said. He glanced toward the hallway, then looked back at Gordon. “And, uh…what’s your favorite state?”

Was that supposed to be small talk? Gordon stared down at him. “Denial,” he said. Then he tugged Benrey out into the hall. “C’mon, we’re moving now.”

“Huh?”

“Just - follow me,” Gordon huffed, trying to subtly wipe his mouth. “We gotta find some ammo.”

And if Benrey walked a little closer to Gordon, close enough to feel the heat of him through the mesh of the HEV suit - well, Gordon wasn’t going to complain about that.

#hlvrai #my words #kiss prompts #snippets #askbox #on anon #swearing #barely edited this so there may be typos #thank you; this was fun!#hmmm in reviewing the list it seems this could also be for a different number #'to shut them up' would also work #oh well; two for one i guess

Neil Gaiman: "in season 2 the fan-favorite angel/demon couple will fall in love, overcome great adversity, and eventually defy heaven and hell to run off together to the stars :)"

Fans: "cool! I can't wait, does Aziraphale confess first or does Crowley?'

Neil, holding Gabriel and Beelzebub figures and making them kiss: "Does who do what now?"

#obviously this is a joke/simplification because neil cares very much about aziraphale and crowley but the mental image was too fun to resist #mr gaiman if you see this i love you thank you for making the show #good omens #good omens 2 #ineffable husbands #ineffable bureaucracy #good omens spoilers

i have lots of flaws but i do at least take a fair amount of comfort knowing that, if i were a customer NPC in a fast food/retail management game, i would be one of the chill early-level ones that can wait a super long time before they start getting impatient, and you breathe a sigh of a relief when you see them show up in a harder level

#buny text #was standing in line at popeyes today and they were SUPER busy and the staff couldn't even take my order for a while #and the guy at the till was like 'so sorry for the wait we'll get to you soon i promise' and i was like hey no worries 👍#and he gave me this look that i understood from my own time in retail to mean 'thank you for being fucking normal'#there was nobody else behind me cuz i showed up at the very end of the lunch rush i think #and in that moment i just pictured like. a lil timer wheel above my head that was still green and mostly full lmao #i love being nice to retail workers it's so fun

DP x DC: The Most Dangerous Card Game

Ok so Danny has essentially claimed earth as his. And he is fully aware that there are constant threats to the planet. Now he can’t stop a threat that originates on earth (that’s something he’ll leave to the Justice league) but he can do something about outside threats. Doing some research on ancient spells, rituals, and artifacts, he cast a world wide barrier on the planet to protect it from hostile threats so they cannot enter. This will prevent another Pariah Dark incident. However, barriers like this come at a price. You see, there are two ways to make a barrier. Either make one powered up by your own energy and power (which would be constantly draining) or set up a barrier with rules. The way magic works is that nothing can be absolutely indestructible. It must have a weakness. The most powerful barriers weren’t the ones reinforced with layer after layer of protective charms and buffed up with power. Those could eventually be destroyed either by being overpowered, wearing them down, or by cutting off the original power source. No, the most powerful barriers were the ones with a deliberate weakness. A barrier indestructible except for one spot. A cage that can only be opened from the outside. Or that can only be passed with a key or by solving a riddle. So Danny chooses this type of barrier and does the necessary ritual and pours in enough power to make it. And he adds his condition for anyone to enter.

Now the Justice league? Find out about the barrier when Trigon attempts to attack, they were preparing after he threatened what he would do once he got to earth. How he would destroy them. The Justice league tried to take the fight to him first but were utterly destroyed, so they retreated home to tend to their injuries, and fortify earth for one. Last. Stand. Only when Trigon makes his big entrance…he’s stopped.

The Justice league watch in awe as this thin see-through barrier with beautiful green swirls and speckled white lights like stars apears blocking Trigon and his army’s advance. The barrier looks so thin and fragile yet no matter how hard the warlord hits, none of his attacks can get through and neither can he damage said barrier. That’s when Constantine and Zatanna recognizes what this barrier is. Something only a powerful entity could create. For a moment, the league is filled with hope that Trigon can’t get through yet Constantine also explains that it’s not impenetrable. And clearly Trigon knows this too for he calls out a challenge.

And that’s when, in a flash of light, a tiny glowing teenager appears. He looked absolutly minuscule compared to Trigon and yet practically glowed with power (this isn’t a King Danny AU though).

And that is when the conditions for passing the barrier are revealed. And the Justice realize that the only thing stopping Trigon and his army from decimating earth. The only way he can get through….is by beating this glowing teenager in a card game.

Not just any card game though. The most convoluted game Sam, Danny, and Tucker invented themselves. It’s like the infinite realms version of magic the gathering, combined with Pokémon, and chess. And Danny is the master. So sit down Trigon and let’s play.

(The most intense card game of the Justice league’s life).

After Danny wins, this happens a few more times with outer word beings and possibly even demons attempting to invade earth, yet none have been able to beat the mysterious teenager in a card game. Constantine might even take a crack at it and try to figure out how to play. He’s really bad though. Every time this happens, the Justice league worry that this might be the time the teenager looses. Yet every time, he wins (even if only barely).

Meanwhile, Danny, Sam, and Tucker have gotten addicted to the game and play it almost daily. Some teachers might seem them playing the game are are like ‘awww how cute’ not realizing this game is literally saving the world. Jazz is just happy they aren’t spending as much time on their screens playing Doomed.
