Day 18 [Zapp/ Zed/ Raju]

Prompt: Broken bone

Zapp

"Holy f&^k!" Zapp skid to a stop next to you, unsure what he was even looking at, "What the sh^t happened to you?!"

"You tell me smarta$$!" You bit back, looking at your own armbone like this was harrowing, "I mean honestly, it isn't rocket science!"

.

Zapp couldn't help but panic. Not only were you down for the count but you were losing blood fast. Even in the semi-paralysis, he felt his instincts took over. Wrapping your arm, trying to straighten the bone and hope that it would be sealed enough for someone to completely fix later on.

That did not stop him from pacing and thumping his foot whenever told to sit down. He needed to know you'd be okay, even if that meant you were stuck in a cast for a few months.

.

Zed

Zed checked his phone over and over. This wasn't like you at all, even if it was a simple emoji, you'd have answered his texts by now.

It wasn't until his phone buzzed loudly, nearly causing him to drop it, that Zed finally got his answer. You had been rushed straight to a hospital for several serious injuries.

Once he was in the room with you, Zed finally asked what all had been going on. Why would you need to be rushed in like this?

"I have several hairline fractures and one massive chip in my lower leg." You had to take deep breaths, "Everything else is just minor by comparison."

Zed shakily moved a chair over, "Elaborate. Please, for my sake."

"A couple of bruises along my spine and my shoulder joint popped out of place." You tried to move your arm as a demonstration, but Zed stopped you, "Literally everything else is minor cuts and scrapes. I promise."

"As long as you also promise not to over do it."

"I'll make no such promises..."

Zed frowned at your attempt at humor. But at least you tried to make light of the situation.

Raju Comes back after a long while and is stunned to see a cast and crutches

Another long time spent away from you meant Raju had no clue what to expect when he landed. Even so, seeing you all but boxed in on the couch was not something he thought he'd see... ever.

"And what happened?" Raju's voice made you jump, you hadn't heard him land, "Why is your foot up on the table? Why is it wrapped like that? Who did this to you?"

Your head dropped, it was an embarrassing story for you to repeat.

"First of all, I did this to myself... sorta." You turned toward Raju only to follow him as he hopped in front of you, "Second, its just a broken bone in my foot so I have to be extra careful with it."

"So what happened that you broke bones in your foot?"

Raju didn't know how to interpret the grimace across your face. But he wasn't going anywhere until you answered him... And you knew this.

"Well..." You really didn't want to tell this to anyone but... "I was helping Mrs. Orif bring her large dog in because it was about to rain. And the dog was tugging on the lead a bit too hard, half dragging me. So when my foot hit the concrete stairs... all my weight on the bone... it kinda went... snap"

Raju let out a grumpy sigh. Of course, you'd just have to go help someone else and get injured in the process. Though he had to concede if Mrs. Orif had tried to do so herself then the dog would have likely broken something more than a foot. But that was beside the point! Raju was still deeply upset that you got hurt at all. And refusing to let you get up without him hovering at your side. He would make sure you were safe until your foot healed.

Day 14 [Leo/ Zapp/ Chain]

Prompt: "This is killing you!"

Leo

The frown Leo had was becoming a bit too pronounced for your liking. Sure, he knew you were a more reckless kind of person, that your skills are basically why Libra kept sending you off to do dangerous stuff. But he could see the curse you were keeping under wraps. He promised to keep it secret but...

"This is going to kill you [Name]!"

You really wished he wouldn't have started this in front of everyone, "I'll be fine Leo. I've survived worse."

Leo almost growled, making Klaus worry and intervene.

"[Name], is everything alright?" You were getting trapped into revealing this, "Is there a deeper injury you haven't told us about?"

"No, I'm perfectly fine Klaus." Though you weren't so sure of that yourself in all honesty, "Its just this last time was a bit much and I've been limping a little on sore heels after relaxing for so long. Its nothing I haven't dealt with before and Leo's just over exaggerating."

Leo frowned harder, if that was even possible, and started tapping his foot, "So sue me for being worried. I can't help it."

.

Zapp

You didn't like sitting in the hospital listening to Zapp flirt with the nurses like this. But you also didn't have the courage to say anything about liking him as more than a friend. So self-torment it is.

Though the way you were crossing your arms and scowling wasn't lost on Zapp. While the two of you weren't involved, you were roommates and had been friends for what felt like an eternity. He knew when you were pissed over something.

"What's eating you this time Nacho?"

You clicked your tongue, "This is the fifteenth time this month you landed yourself in the hospital Peño."

"So what? No one said you gotta show up every time ya know."

The glare you gave him made Zapp recoil a little. But he wasn't going to back down from this. Yeah, he liked the company, but he didn't need you to stick around like this all the time.

"Well spit it out already."

"This is gonna kill ypu one of these days."

"So? Why do you care?"

"Because I love you Dip Stick."

Zapp sat there blinking, but the steadily deepening red across your cheeks was no mistake. He hadn't stopped long enough to think about you like that, given you were so stubborn about genuine relationships and all that. Friends sure, but Zapp knew what you wanted from a relationship didn't match his life style at all.

"Not like it'll ever matter." You stood up to leave, unable to take the silence, "Still hurts to see you like this all the time. Knowing your job will kill you if some random chic doesn't get to you first."

Zapp was too dumbfounded to stop you or keep flirting with the nurses checking on him.

Chain

Chain finally answered her phone after what her boss explained to you. Having to find out through third degree like this was bad enough. But for her to up and almost wipe out her existence to the point where you wouldn't even remember her at all was too far.

"Chain here."

"What the hell?" Your voice was absolutely cracked from emotional strain, "I called like a dozen times and had to ask your boss where you were!"

"Okay, first off, I'm sorry. I should've told you about the emergency mission I was needed for." Chain waved her hand down as if she were talking to you in person, "Second, I wasn't going to go that far. It was close, but I pulled out at the last second--"

"THAT DOESN'T MATTER!" You were beside yourself with how calmly she was talking, "THIS JOB IS GONNA KILL YOU IN THE WORST WAY POSSIBLE!"

"[Name]!" Chain tried breaking through your rant, "Its fine! I had the situation under control. Please, calm down."

"CALM DOWN? CALM DOWN!" You screeched, "YOU EXPECT ME TO CALM DOWN? I ALMOST LOST YOU AND WOULDN'T EVEN HAVE MEMORIES OF YOU! DON'T TELL ME TO CALM DOWN!"

Chain sighed quietly. The best thing she could do was wait for your anger to ride out on its own. And hope that you'd let her make this up to you with a night in. Some Ghibli movies and no phones type of thing.

Day 26 [Steven/ Dog/ Aligula]

Prompt: "Why are you here?"

Steven

Hours ticked by, time lost on the dark-haired man as keys clacked rhythmically. Endless lines of code for God knows how many times this month.

You stood in the doorway, seven on the dot, arms folded with a very clear scowl across your face. Steven had taken one too many days in a row staying at the office. While you did have Klaus's word, which was better than the gold standard, you still doubted that Steven was actually resting properly... despite being locked in one of the spare rooms at the office.

Clearing your throat as you approached the long table in the middle of the office, You set a lunch bag right next to the key board Steven was still working tirelessly at.

And yet none of that got his attention...

"Steven!"

He jumped in his chair, blinking up at you as you frowned.

"Huh? [Name]? Why are you here? Its.... its..."

"Yeah, it's seven in the morning. You look like you haven't eaten anything of substance in days. And you promised you'd behave while I was on mission."

Steven hung his head, "For what it's worth, Klaus has been locking me in one of the rooms upstairs every night. But the lock is on a timer so five a.m. I get back to work."

You blinked slowly at Steven, frown deepening. He realized all too late how badly he just tattled on himself and was a mess trying to back peddle what he said versus what he meant.

.

Dog

How did you let things get this late? Trying to surprise Dog on his birthday was going south in a hurry, especially as you had underestimated how long it would take to fill so many balloons by hand.

But he shouldn't be here for another hour yet so...

You checked the cake again. Finally cooked all the way through thankfully, and with enough time it could cool and be iced before...

"Wow! Something smells tasty!"

Too late...

"Dog!" You tried to steer him away from the kitchen, hoping he wouldn't look in the living room, "Why are you here? And so soon... I haven't had a chance to clean up."

"Huh?" He tilted his head, "What do you mean? Your place is always clean, Peach."

You didn't want to tell him what you were doing, "Most of the time, but I had friends over last night. I just need another hour..."

"I don't mind helping you clean, Berry!" Dog smiled, "It'll be done in half an hour if I do!"

Think... think... think...

"Uh, actually I needed to get a couple of things." You panicked, "Would you mind doing that? Pretty please?"

"Sure!"

The door closed and you felt like sliding down it. Instead, you pulled your phone out and called K.K. she'd be able to help.

.

Aligula

This plan would go perfectly smooth, if only these meanie jerk-faces of Libra would stop getting in Aligula's way, she'd be happy. They only made her life harder, yelling about civil casualties and order and whatever else they seemed to care so much about.

"Object of Interest in view. Error, Object of Interest in path. Error."

Aligula scratched her head. No, you shouldn't be out and about today. You said something about needing to pick up a couple things, but that should be on the other side of town. Right? Aligula was going after Deldro and Hummer after all, you shouldn't be anywhere nearby.

Unless those meanie jerk faces kidnapped you too!

But no. You're little bike was just in the middle of the road. You weren't anywhere near it. Or you were in the store. Something like that.

Aligula parked, as well as one could park a tank in the street. You were just stepping out of the store when Aligula landed a few feet to the side.

"Aligula?" You tilted your head at her, "Why are you here?"

"I should be asking you that!" She huffed, "I thought you weren't going to be over here!"

"Oh, that." You held up the bag in your hands, "Well Jenik's didn't have the right thing so I had to come over here for it. I sent you a text."

"Huh. Guess I never saw it."

"I should have known. You check your phone maybe once a day, if that."

"Hey!"

Day 12 [Klaus/ Zed/ Lucky]

Prompt: "Take me instead"

Klaus

Klaus couldn't believe his eyes, trapped by the blood breed that had tried to turn him. You had been blindsided as well, Klaus forced to watch helplessly as you were tossed to the side like a ragdoll. Both of your best attempts were thwarted in swift actions only for the blood breed to completely disregard you in favor of Klaus.

"Now then..."

It sneered down menacingly, and Klaus struggled to move. How did this creature get the upper hand? Why was it after Klaus again? Mr. Abrams had sealed that part of him away, it would be pointless for the blood breed to try and turn Klaus at this point.

"Wait!" Klaus's fearful gaze turned to you as you cried out, "Take me instead."

The blood breed's sneer curled up into a sickening grin. Klaus couldn't even feel his own heart beating. He wanted to stop you, he needed to stop you. Klaus didn't want to lose you like this. He didn't want to lose you at all.

~~~~~

"Nooo!"

Klaus sat up in bed with a roar. Startling you right off the other side causing you to crash to the floor. Your head popped up, ready to fight... something. But you were just met by the sight of your lover panting heavily, eyes shut tightly, hands sliding over his face.

It made you hesitate to climb back up on the bed, you didn't know what made Klaus react like that.

"Klaus?" His head jerked up, swiveling to see you standing beside the bed, "Are you okay? Do you wanna talk about whatever you just woke up from?"

You panicked when you saw tears forming in Klaus's eyes, scrambling up on the bed to try and comfort him to the best of your ability. Only to be squished in the tightest of hugs as Klaus buried his face against your neck.

Whatever had spooked Klaus, you knew it had to be horrible... and likely a dream where he lost you in some way.

.

Zed

This was harrowing. Zed couldn't think of a way out of this situation at all. He knew going to a comedy show like this was a bad idea. There was a huge spotlight shining down right on top of him, several people either clicking their tongues in disgust or urging him to go up on the stage.

He blamed you for this nonsense. And he would refuse to accompany you to any other "oh it'll be fun" social ventures for quite some time.

Zed never should have raised his hand to take your place on stage like that. He regretted saying "take me instead" to a bunch of performers whose job was to make fun of people.

Sure, he meant to do it to keep you from dealing with the social anxiety of being up on stage. But he detested how many "fish-boy" jokes were being thrown his way. It was as if he were surrounded by an army of Zapp doppelgangers, at least personality-wise.

You would owe him something when all this was over with. Maybe a quiet day at home for once... Zed would have to think about it, that's for sure.

.

Lucky

How was this a normal occurrence for you? Lucky had to stop and ponder the severity of the situation, despite you constantly trying to tell him this was not the time for that.

"Just move!" You frantically pushed your lover through the trees, "You can think about this later Blitz!"

"But--!"

You shoved Blitz into a small hollow of a tree, he was jammed in just so he couldn't wiggle out. Not for his lack of trying. But it was far too late, the metamorph entity that had been trailing both of you was gaining, fast.

"Move mortal." Its voice was raspy, cold. Like a winter wind over a frozen lake, "I seek the other."

"Why?" You were trembling all over, but standing your ground. Well, shifting to block the creature at every movement, "Why do you want Blitz?"

"It is inevitable..."

"Take me instead!" Everything seemed to freeze in place, especially Lucky from his squished position in the tree, "If it's a pound of flesh you need, then take me!"

The cold laugh the creature gave off made your spine crawl, "Very well brave one. I can make do with a different human just this once..."

Lucky tried to free himself from the tree far more vigorously than before. That thing hadn't been after you at all. And yet you willingly gave yourself up for his sake.

He needed to track this thing down and fast. Just as soon as he could get free from the blasted tree!

Poppets [Klaus x Reader]

Requested by Anonymous 🧸

Klaus couldn't help but be mesmerized by your entire process. He didn't know exactly how your Blood Technique worked, but he knew what the basic effects were. That being any puppet or plush toy you created would behave like a little soldier and fight for you, or carry out whatever little tasks you asked of them.

It was plain adorable how varied you made these little things. Though your main style was more reminiscent of Paddington Bear and the original Winnie the Pooh. Lots of vests and little hats on vaguely humanoid animals. And you'd long since confided in Klaus that you were opposed to the idea of making one too human-like.

And yet, the one you were working on right now was very similar to a small puppy. Somewhat more anatomically correct with how its little joints would move, but overall just cute.

Shing!!

Zapp jumped back about three feet, clutching his hand as if it had just been stabbed. But you knew your knitting needle had just barely missed him.

"Oi! Watch it Sock Puppet!"

"Don't give me a reason Renfro." You tugged the needle out of the hardwood to place a 'healing' talisman over the hole, "Stay away from my creations."

This was, sadly, a normal feud. As Zapp enjoyed teasing everyone about everything and you had the strangest ability set on the whole team. Let alone the fact one that requires near constant upkeep at that, meaning you frequently sewed clothes or knitted a new doll into a semblance of sentience while you sat around the office. And as much as Klaus wanted to tell Zapp off for such behavior, you were more than capable of keeping the silver-haired man at bay.

Though, Klaus had absently set down a small plate with little thumbprint cookies in front of the small gathering of your other creations as they sat awaiting their 'sibling' to wake up. The little toys looked at the plate, up at Klaus, and back again a few times. Klaus had already moved on without thinking. Though when he looked back, he saw that the little bear wearing a top hat and a bow tie was holding a single cookie and waving it up and down.

The way you giggled at them acting like they were eating the cookies made Klaus's heart flutter. He hadn't been able to tell you how he felt because he only just figured that out himself. And telling you so soon after the feelings began settling in was almost too much the big man.

One day he would, but the day that you were giggling over him attempting to feed your little creations was not that day.
