Day 30 [Steven/ Zed/ Raju]

Day 30 [Steven/ Zed/ Raju]

Prompt: "I'm used to it"

Steven

This just rubbed Steven the wrong way. Being a first-hand witness to the discrimination you faced on a regular basis, or well, a semi-regular basis. And all because you had a tiny bit of Beyondian DNA. It was hardly noticeable after your surgery.

So what if you had a few feathers growing alongside your hair now? Steven thought it was absolutely beautiful. And the only reason anyone could see it was how you styled your hair. Was it really fair to you? Having to constantly do just the smallest things to "look human"?

Steven had half a mind to freeze the whole building and just the building. Until you tugged on his sleeve, trying not to pull him completely given the scene.

"Steven, please don't." He really didn't like the look on your face, "I'm used to this. It'll be fine."

He let out a tired sigh. Hearing that you were already used to this stung him a little. It wasn't fair, nothing about this situation was fair. All of it weighed on Steven's mind and his heart, especially with how upset you seemed.

But maybe he was just used to being surrounded by Beyondians...

"Amor," Steven cupped your cheek, "Perhaps we should find somewhere actually worth our patronage. What are you in the mood for?"

.

Zed

Zed groaned as softly as possible, he hated that you were being pulled into such low-brow insults because of him. Part of him couldn't help but feel as if there was a hint of merit to what the other humans were saying. It was possible you only dated him out of pity.

You could do so much better than him after all...

Though he still didn't want you getting hurt on his behalf. Tugging you back gently to hopefully avoid this altercation from escalating to blows. Zed would never live it down if you were injured for something this stupid.

"[Name], please." Zed urged, "Now isn't the time for this. I'm certain there's better places than here."

You half growled, before snorting at the woman blocking the entrance. Sure, Zed was right. That didn't mean you had to be okay with how people treated him. It wasn't right for them to judge on appearance...

"I still don't like how comfortable they were," You grumbled, "Calling you a 'walking fish' and all that. Completely uncalled for."

Zed let out half a chuckle, "You may be right, but it'll be okay. I'm used to this sadly. One of my coworkers won't stop with bad fish puns against me."

"Where does he live?"

"[Name], please no. Don't start anything."

"I wouldn't be starting anything." You pouted playfully, "I'd be finishing it."

"And possibly getting injured in the process." Zed moved slowly as he put an arm around your shoulders, "And I'd never forgive myself if you did."

.

Raju

Raju was about five seconds from torching several individuals for their rude comments. It was one thing to insult him, but once they started bringing you into the discussion... Raju was ready to fight. While he knew he was technically a Beyondian, calling you names was uncalled for.

"Raju, c'mon. Please?" You tugged on his cane, hoping to just pull him away like a balloon on a string, "I'm used to being called a monster smoocher. It's fine."

"It is not fine!" He protested, "One's love life shouldn't mean anything to others! You're a huma after all! They can't just attack you like that because of me!"

While you did manage to pull him away, some, you couldn't help but sigh. Raju had zero filters and no concept of romance, so it never failed to shock you when he said genuinely romantic things. But you had your own ways of returning the favor. Namely by sneaking a kiss on the side of his helm.

Though, before you could say anything about him being a sweetheart by saying that... Raju started ranting about you kissing his helm. Tapping his cane and essentially throwing a little hissy fit.

Still kinda adorable though, you couldn't lie to yourself about that.

Heh heh heh [Klaus x Reader]

"Klaus? Do you have a minute?"

You heard the front door but didn't want to impose too badly. If anything, you wanted this to be a surprise for your lover. Not a nuisance after a long day of work.

"Is something wrong Liebling?" Klaus wasted no time tracking you down in the kitchen however, "What is it?"

Just before he could spot you, "Oh, its nothing serious. I just wanted to show you something."

You settled the cup of boba tea on your breasts, hoping this would actually work and not make a mess. Though, that was why you were in the kitchen to begin with. Tile floor would be much easier to clean than carpet after all.

Klaus however was left looking around the kitchen before realizing that you wanted him to look at you. And the heat rose on his face almost instantly.

His eye first caught what you were wearing, a tight boob window lingerie top and tight shorts. And nothing else that he could see. Klaus gulped his feelings down, that was exactly the kind of outfit he had been lowkey daydreaming about seeing you in.

Then he realized you were holding a cup atop your breasts. While that by itself didn't mean much, he couldn't help his hyper-awareness taking in the slight indent of attempting to balance the drink. And the beads of condensation rolling down into your cleavage.

Klaus just had to turn away, his nerves simply couldn't handle seeing you like this. In all honesty, he desperately wanted to ask you to stop. If only so he could carry you upstairs for a reenactment of his wandering thought process.

The idea of either made him incredibly flustered. And the look on your face wasn't helping. Especially with how you had to hold onto the straw and look up at him.

Klaus felt his head was going to explode any second now.

Holidayzz [Klaus x Reader]

Requested by Anonymous 🥱

One year, at least once, you wanted to test your limits and stay awake through the first half of your hibernation. Despite Klaus's fervent protests and insistence that you should be asleep, maybe even wandering around in a zombie-ish state. You were determined to see this through.

It was the first time you'd ever gotten a chance to even think about celebrating Christmas or New Year's. But mostly you were excited to celebrate Klaus's birthday. It felt only fair to make the attempt.

After weeks of just barely avoiding the call of your instincts, several cups of coffee, and very loud alarms set just after Klaus's own alarms to avoid waking him up, you realized just how badly you were affected by staying up like this.

Slumped over against walls, hardly able to keep your eyes open even when you stood in the perfectly shaded spots. No amount of cold or caffeine seemed to be able to keep you feeling alert for very long. You had lost entire hours of the day just from sitting down on the office couch.

And the fact that Klaus wouldn't wake you if he didn't have to.

It was the same few excuses and while you couldn't blame him for being worried... You did get tired of hearing 'You looked so peaceful' and 'I didn't notice you had dozed off'. Thankfully, Steven and K.K. didn't have such reservations. They were still deeply concerned, but as long as this was what you wanted, they would help you as much as they could.

K.K. resorted to jumping you every so often, squeezing your sides just a little so you would wake up. Steven however kept very subtly freezing certain, random, spots across your back. He didn't feel comfortable overstepping and going for truly delicate areas, but the sudden chill often caught your attention for a few seconds.

Klaus was not happy about any of this. He wrestled with himself over just turning off your alarms, or toting you to a nice quiet area, or even celebrating his birthday earlier than Christmas so you would go into hibernation.

Unfortunately for him, Dr. Estevez herself said there wasn't any kind of serious health ramifications to doing this. Only the possibility of becoming extremely groggy and irritable. The perma-tired look on your face was symptom ne, but you didn't have much of a temper to begin with. And even with the constant poking and prodding of the others, you never once snapped.

Though it was a miracle you made it to Klaus's slightly early birthday. Everyone compromised on this, even though you wouldn't be able to be there the day of. Klaus's worry was just too much, he couldn't keep going to the hospital because he was worried about you.

Looking around to see where you wandered off to, Klaus stopped when he noticed your silhouette out on the balcony. It wasn't like you to just leave social gatherings like this...

"Liebling?" Klaus was slow to approach, uncertain what was going through your mind, "Is everything okay?"

You looked back over your shoulder, exhaustion plain as day across your face, "Yeah... I was just... thinking."

The soft contact as Klaus rubbed your back, stepping up to the railing to offer some form of comfort, or at least his company.

"Is my stubbornness this past month just been selfishness?"

"Of course not..."

"You went to the hospital seven times because I wouldn't stay in bed." Klaus stopped for a moment, taken back by the sudden outburst, "I... I should have..."

"Shhh, it's okay Shatzi." He nuzzled against your shoulder, trying to think of some way he could make this sound better than it did in his head, "I... I know my reaction wasn't healthy, but I am glad I got to celebrate this year with you. It isn't your fault, I was the one being too stubborn for his own good."

You stood there, knowing there wasn't an easy answer to who got more of the blame. If there was even an argument given how little your reasons for blaming yourselves lined up. It sounded like the simplest cause-effect on paper, but hearing how Klaus felt about the situation, that complicated things.

"[Name], Liebling." Klaus tilted your chin so you'd look him in the eyes, "It was my fault for ending up in the hospital. I knew what worrying would do to my stomach. And I should have listened to Dr. Estevez, trusted her and you in this endeavor. You were merely trying to be a part of the holidays that you never experienced before. And I should have done more to prepare myself mentally against my own knee-jerk reactions to protect."

"I still should have just gone through my hibernation phase." You couldn't stop the tears falling from your eyes. Whether you were tired or just emotional didn't seem to matter, "None of this would have happened if I hadn't tried staying awake in the first place."

A small silence followed as Klaus carefully swiped his thumbs under your eyes, "I'm very glad you did so anyway mein Shatzi. It means the world to me that you would go through this for my sake."

Klaus knew that after tonight, you would go into hibernation. But that didn't mean he wouldn't make every second count until then. The combination of raw emotion, pure exhaustion, and the slightly romantic atmosphere lead him to leaning in. Pressing the softest of kisses to your lips, hoping he could better explain himself this way.

Day 29 [Klaus/ Leo/ Zapp]

Prompt: "Please, don't look at me..."

Klaus

Klaus stood up, a slight growl escaping past his lips. This job would never get easier, he knew that all too well. It was merely a fact at this point. Though his thoughts were suddenly interrupted by a loud noise.

"This is where we let go! Hands up--"

Turning toward the familiar sound, Klaus's heart plummeted as his eyes fell on you. Standing just outside the alley where he had just proven how utterly brutal he could truly be. The look of abject terror on your face cut Klaus like a knife.

"Liebling." Klaus's voice and mannerisms had softened to an extreme degree as he took a few tentative steps forward, "I can explain. This is merely part of my work..."

"This is part of your work?!"

You were torn between wanting to run and knowing Klaus wouldn't hurt you, or would he?

"But... but you... You wouldn't hurt... I mean, sure you're... But! I... I guess I just..."

Klaus gingerly placed a hand on your shoulder. Hearing your confusion and doubt, seeing that look on your face, it was too much. You looked like you were trying to convince yourself that Klaus was harmless... and you were failing.

"Please Liebling," Klaus whispered as he raised a hand to cover your eyes, "Please don't look at me like that."

.

Leo

This feeling was too much for Leo, sure he worried a lot. But this time you had been actively pushing him away without any reason. You were ghosting him and he wasn't going to take this lying down.

Standing outside your door, Leo couldn't help but wonder what kind of excuse you would give him. He wasn't the cynical type, but a certain someone had gotten into his ear with social horror stories. The number of times this kind of behavior led to abrupt change in relationship status was unreal.

"[Name]! C'mon! Open up!" Leo couldn't help but click his tongue impatiently, "It's me! You know, the guy you've been dating? The one you're currently avoiding for no reason? Can't you at least give me an explanation?"

For as slowly as the door opened, Leo's jaw dropped long before your eye peered out. A crimson tendril had eased out the door as it opened, and there was no mistaking that kind of aura. Not when Leo's very job was to seek out aura like this.

"You're... you're a..."

"Vampire" "Blood Breed."

You stopped, blinking at what Leo just called you. Whatever it meant, it couldn't be good, not when it sounded so... professional. The look on his face, somewhere between worry and fear, it made you feel guilty and ashamed. And you couldn't be sure why, it had just been instinct to avoid and look away.

"Please," You muttered, trying o close the door, "Please don't look at me."

"[Name]." Leo wedged his foot in the door, "I can explain some of this. I can help you, I'll try everything I can to do so. But please, please. Don't push me away again. I want to help."

.

Zapp

A loud groaning startled you awake, despite the restless movement of your partner. The tanned, silvery white-haired man beside you twisted this way and that as if he were a cat, all the while moaning like a ghost. All his shifting and noise was quite the ruckus first thing in the morning, though it wasn't the first time you'd dealt with him like this.

"The f&^k time is it?" Zapp had wiggled his way over you, attempting to bury his face in your chest, "Why the ever-loving-f&^k is the light so god damned bright?"

"C'mon, the sun is shining and its a beautiful day." You teased, "Time to wake up and smell the coffee."

"Hardee har har." Zapp's voice was muffled, refusing to lift his head, "Next time, I pick the joint. That place had sh*t booze."

"Oh? Big bad Zapp can't handle a little party?"

"Like hell I can't!"

You snickered in his face before he could settle back down.

"What?" He shot, "Lookin' so smug over there."

"Nothing." You smirked, "Just thinking about how cute you are with your hair all messed up like that."

"I am NOT cute!" he huffed, "And don't look at me like that."

Despite being the reason you were chuckling, Zapp still thought the sound was highly attractive. Spurred on more since he was currently face down against your chest, and he wasn't wasting time having a little fun with his postion.

Interrogation 2 [Everyone x Reader]

Requested by @fandomjumper28 😬

Things were just going so very slowly, this guy was still not talking after nearly a day of hard interrogation. From trying to play good cop, bad cop, to just everyone taking turns. By the time it finally got around to your turn, you were tired of waiting around.

Pulling your emergency supplies out of the secret hatch in the closet, you were stopped by Klaus.

"Why... why is that bag clanking?" He wasn't sure he wanted to know, "What do you have hidden in this apartment?"

"It's fine." You waved him down, "This will just speed up the process."

"Not so fast [Name]." Steven tugged the bag, just enough that you dropped it, spilling a wide range of torture devices, "Yeah, no. Not going to let any of these touch this guy."

You let out an agitated sigh. For all of three minutes, the target was horrified by the scattering of metal objects. All the movement from across the room had been short-lived due to how quickly your ideas had been shot down.

"Alright then, plan B."

Leo and Zed picked up your "tools" so you couldn't sneak one or two into your pocket. K.K. was still busy with her turn of interrogation, so she couldn't scold you too. Though Zapp had to be held back by Chain using her phasing through his liver.

Klaus was almost beside himself when you came back with a large greatsword. At least it was in a scabbard, for now. And Klaus was going to make sure it stayed that way.

"[Name], this isn't proper interrogation protocol." He cut you off again, "Would you please put that away."

"Wait, where did you even get a sword?!" Zapp blurted out, "I thought you didn't keep any of this sh^t here!?"

"I don't travel anywhere unprepared." You crossed your arms, "And c'mon Klaus. He won't crack if we don't use a little force."

Steven sighed, "No, hand it over [Name]."

Groaning loudly, you handed Steven the heavy weapon. It was still your shot at the target. There was still one trick up your sleeve, literally.

They couldn't disarm you as you tilted the chair back, pulling a straight razor and pressing it against the man's cheek. Even with Klaus and Leo in the background trying not to shout at you for having something sharp so close to someone's neck... again.

Steven just had to hold both of them back, reminding them that one wrong move could end in you accidentally killing the only source of information Libra could even get close to. Zed was very busy holding K.K. back, needing to cling to the doorframe, several using his blood threads.

Klaus x Police Lieutenant - married (also fem)

Every morning, sitting with a cup of coffee/ tea and just mentally preparing for the day

If you've had a long night, he is extra careful to not wake you up

Given that you stir every. single. time. Klaus always leaves with a soft kiss to your forehead, playfully acts like he isn't in arm's reach, and lets you have the "victory" of pulling him back down for a quick peck on the lips

He is always watching the news when you're on patrol or just in the office. Though he can't get involved if Libra isn't invited

It pains him to have to be like this, because he doesn't want you getting hurt, but he also doesn't want to cost you your job

When he is able to be in the fray, he is protecting you with every fiber of his being, far better than the metal suits that's for sure

During collab briefings, he is extremely professional, something Daniel tries calling out but you shoot that down real fast

Daniel, on the other hand, will not stop pestering you about being with "one of them" and asking if that's why you keep vouching for them to the Chief/ Commissioner

Klaus has, on a number of occasions, asked you specifically not to do so if it becomes a risk to your job

Every once in a while, you force Daniel into silence (by flustering Klaus) simply by suggesting that he (Daniel) is just jealous of you for dating Klaus

Calling Klaus a "very cute/ handsome criminal" also shuts everyone up for a few minutes

Daniel is always giving you an earful afterward

Klaus can and will (has several times by now) sent flowers or chocolates or a small gift basket (especially for Valentine's Day, your birthday, and Christmas/ other important holidays) just because he can get away with it by sending it "anonymously"

That's probably the only time Daniel doesn't complain about your relationship in general (cause he's too busy enjoying the bribe you gave to keep quiet... when it's edible of course)

If/ when you two have a day off together, Klaus is full of cuddles. He just wants to make up for "lost" time and make sure you know how beloved you are

Naturally, Klaus wants to pamper you for all your hard work (even though it's arguable that you work equally hard... Klaus very likely has the lead in that sense) and will insist on almost daily/nightly back rubs and massages (double if a certain area [ie your leg] is stiff from doing your job)

He is easily flustered and overpowered when you want to return the favor (and his affections) and will gladly accept the clause "I get to do to you whatever you do to me"

On the nights when you come home exhausted beyond reason, Klaus is ready with tea/ hot cocoa, a hot meal, a warm bath, fuzzy blankets, and the coziest pajamas you own... (you are going to be cuddled, do not resist)

Spicy: If you wear a 'sexy' policeman/woman suit... Klaus will compliment you by saying you always look sexy to him (especially in your uniform)

Spicy: Yes Klaus will concede to wearing a prisoner uniform and cuffs if you'd like, but he can break the cuffs... you have been warned
