Meet....Nugget [Zapp x fem! Reader]

This fun little fic was requested by anonymous 🐥

Zapp only just got home from work. Getting ready to go to the bar, but he could swear he was hearing things. There wasn't a bird in here, right?

He didn't want to come out swinging on you for something stupid given you worked customer service and dealt with knuckle-heads like him all day anyways. But he could swear the chirping noise was coming from your bra. Unless it was some little cheap Easter toy, it shouldn't be moving at all.

"Uh, hey babe?" Zapp needed answers.

"Yes boo?"

"Is...uh....is your tit chirping?"

You raised one eyebrow at him, "Kinda."

"Why?"

You reached in carefully, being pecked by the baby chick. Then holding it out to Zapp's view.

He blinked. Did he really just watch you pull a whole a$$ baby bird out of your bra? Why the hell was that in there? Where the f&^k did you get it?

"Huh.... I guess there's worse ways to have a chick in your bra." Zapp smirked, "But why did you get it?"

You wanted to hit Zapp, but the bird was resting in your free hand, "Because I wanted a pet that wouldn't run off when you leave the door open."

"HEY!"

Sudden Kiss [Steven x Reader]

This B-day fic was requested by anonymous 😘

Steven really didn't want this large of a party, but he knew Klaus's heart was in the right place. And that Klaus was right, most all the members of Libra would want to celebrate Steven's birthday with him. Or at least give him some birthday wishes.

Honestly, Steven was most thankful that Klaus remembered to invite you. While he had been tight-lipped about his crush on you specifically, Steven couldn't deny you were a great friend.

Though, if he was truly honest with himself. Steven would rather be much more than friends.

But it was better this way. Just being his friend was deadly enough, but being his lover.... Steven didn't know if he was ready to say anything just yet. And he might just hover at this crossroads until you found someone else.

You deserved someone who made you happy.

It had been a massive relief that Klaus essentially planned two parties. One small for those who wanted to give gifts, and this larger one where everyone just relaxed. Yet Steven couldn't stop himself from wondering what you meant about being unsure what you wanted to give him.

The gift card to his favorite restaurant had been perfect. Sure, Steven didn't get many chances to go and enjoy that place often, but he could always ask you out and give himself an excuse.

But what other options had you been considering? Why had it been difficult for you to choose? You knew Steven quite well. So what did you mean?

Just as Steven began entertaining the idea of asking you for a dance; after all, one couldn't hurt. Right? You approached the dark haired gentleman, and he couldn't help but flash a sly smile at you.

Your heart was racing. Confessing your feelings to Steven, on his birthday of all days, felt wrong somehow. But you rarely had a chance to talk to him, let alone see him face to face like this. And while you had long since passed the threshold of trembling, your nerves were still shot.

Klaus had been his usual friendly and encouraging self. Listening to you confess and allowing you to gather yourself by standing in as Steven. But this was so different. Standing in front of Steven, seeing him politely smile down at you....

The desire to hide got stronger with each passing second.

"Steven, there's something I wanted to talk to you about." Your voice quivered, "If you don't mind."

Steven was taken aback by how much like Klaus you sounded right now.

Still smiling in a way that seemed to set your soul on fire. Who gave him permission to be so damned handsome?

"[Name], you don't have to ask. Its always a pleasure to chat with you."

That did it. You struggled to find the strength to speak. He was just so charming, so handsome. You really wanted to be able to speak properly, but he was close. So close. The smell of his cologne was starting to cloud your thoughts, your judgement.

You couldn't think clearly, not like this. Between the drinking, your nerves, and just how badly you wanted to be able to tell him. You couldn't help yourself.....He was right there.

Forgive me Father, for I know EXACTLY what I'm about to do.....

You leaned up on tiptoe, resting your free hand on Steven's chest for balance....

Steven's eyes widened when your lips met. A moment of pure confusion as he processed what was happening; before succumbing to his own desires. Wrapping his free arm around your waist, gently deeping the kiss, and easing you back onto your feet. Savoring every second.....how close you were......how bold.

It felt like eternity, but also as if no time was passing at all as you kissed Steven. Though, it was only a few fleeting moments before you both pulled away.

You were completely flushed, while Steven barely had a dusting of pink across his face. Truly this was unfair.

Sound slowly returned. First just your heartbeat, then the crowd. Rounds of wolf-whistling, cheering, clapping, whooping, even a few people yelling out...

"Get it Starphase(Scarface)"

Your heart was still pounding, Steven hadn't moved away from you either. What was going through his mind? Was that okay? What pocessed you to do that? Would Steven hate you for this? Had you crossed the line? Made him uncomfortable?

No. That couldn't be it. He had kissed you back after all. He still had an arm around you. Did that mean....?

Steven leaned in slightly, ignoring the crowd full stop to whisper in your ear.

"I feel the same way."

Unexpected [Indulgent Self Insert]

Uh...yeah....Indulgent self-insert of a separate Pokemon cross over universe. Professor Karume Arjun moves to Hellsalem's Lot since there isn't a professor in that area after deeming it separate from the rest of the United States.

(Klaus)

Klaus leaned back from a game of Prosfair, today they were to help escort several Pokemon transport trucks to a new Lab for one Professor Arjun. She seemed like a well-respected official, if you asked other professors or reasearchers. But the general public weren't too fond of her or her research.

Klaus was mixed himself. On the one hand, seeing those portals rip open the sky some ten years ago, only for these bizarre creatures identified as Pokemon to come spilling forth was terrifying. Second only to The Great Collapse.

On the other, Professor Arjun was a behavioral analyst. Her entire body of published articles were about how to avoid problems with wild Pokemon and proper training methods. So it wasn't like she was doing anything that would get anyone injured.

Perhaps it would be best to not think about it. The only reason Libra was called as an escort was because of how dangerous the Pokemon were. Though, they did have to head out now if they were going to be a proper envoy.

(Professor Arjun)

Waiting for these trucks was the worst, but there was no way around it. Rescued Pokemon were always difficult to transport, especially the ones that suffered the way these had.

Professor Krane called them "Shadow Pokemon". His assistant Rui had coined the term. But really, they just didn't want to be close to humans again. Karume wouldn't want to be close to other humans either, not after being treated like a tool the way these Pokemon had, forced to fight to the death in underground rings.

A soft sigh escaped the tired Professor. Setting up a whole lab with zero help in under three weeks had been no easy task. And her work was barely begining.

The sound of trucks pulling to a stop outside brought the professor back to reality. Her own Pokemon would have to help carry in the cages, specifically her Gardevoir and Gallade. Their psychic abilities would be the safest option.

But first, to make sure the people escorting the Pokemon didn't get themselves hurt.

(Normal)

Leo was hyped to be on this mission. He did idolize Professor Arjun for her work. Even more so when she was helping oversee the training for Michella's seeing-eye Lillipup. It had evolved since then, but it was still the most helpful companion his sister could ask for. More than other people in some cases.

Though that was the extent of it. Leo hadn't really known a time when he wasn't nervous around other Pokemon. Well-trained Pokemon were one thing, he could calm his nerves a little. But the sounds from the back of the truck had suggested nearly wild Pokemon.

Were they wild? Or was it just being in cages that set them off? Leo couldn't be certain.

"So, any idea what this crazy chic is really like? I mean. She works with Pokemon of all things." Zapp was being his usual self, though a hint of nerves was showing, "Like she's gotta have a couple screws loose, right?"

"I'm sure she's perfectly sane." Zed commented, "Her research is quite thorough and her methods can be replicated easily. You're the one with screws loose."

It had not been a very fun trip.

Steven blinked at the rather odd Professor. She fit the whole working with Pokemon part down to a T, physically fit and muscular looking under the lab coat. But also looking a bit wild and bored??? Steven didn't really know what to make of her. This was the Professor sent to Hellsalem's Lot by the League.

Though, she seemed to scan everyone, sizing them all up in one swift glance.

Even Klaus felt somehow small under that gaze, despite being rather kind. The professor was the first to move forward, extending a hand towards Klaus.

"Its nice to meet you, I'm Professor Karume Arjun."

"Klaus von Reinherz." Klaus was ever gentle even in his confusion over being approached so casually, "Would you like some assistance? Or do you have other staff to help unload these Pokemon?"

"Tempting Mr. Reinherz" Professor Arjun smiled warmly, "But I have things handled. I'd rather avoid injury of your people."

Before Klaus could respond, or anyone could really, one of the trucks revved up again. Speeding off with the driver yelling about how Hellsalem's Lot didn't need a professor at all. And before Libra could respond, Professor Arjun was sprinting headlong in that direction.

Klaus instructed Leonardo, Zapp, and Zed to guard the remaining trucks while Chain, K.K. Steven and himself chased down the runaway, and the professor.

Upon turning the corner after the truck, Klaus gasped at seeing such a large Pokemon dashing so nimbly through the streets. Professor Arjun upon its back as if she did this regularly. The large black furred Pokemon leapt gracfully, latching onto the truck and sticking with massive claws sinking into the metal.

Professor Arjun called out, "Trix. Tor."

A Gallade and Gardevoir appeared in a burst of light, using their psychic powers to steady themselves and lift the truck off the ground. Professor Arjun dismounted her Luxray and returned him to the Pokeball.

Steven marveled at the sheer prowess of the Pokemon, more so at the person currently controlling them with ease. Was this the true power of having a loyal Pokemon by one's side?

Gilbert pulled the car around safely to the side and stopped. Even he had to stop and stare a few moments at someone so capable of commanding these powerful creatures without a word. Perhaps the Professor could teach him this kind of training. Head Maid Catherine Bates had hinted in her last call about an update in training Pokemon after Master Reinherz Sr. had discovered this professor's research.

Professor Arjun floated gently down, watching intently as Trix, her Gardevoir, and Tor, her Gallade, carefully extracted the driver from the cab of the truck. She was certain that the police had been informed and would wait, at least until she didn't have to worry about someone attempting to shoot the back of the truck.

She wasn't waiting long as Trix and Tor lowered the truck to a smattering of applause. Klaus and Steven felt their jaws drop as the Professor praised her Pokemon before returning them to their Pokeballs.

K.K. was standing off to the side, she really came all this way with them just to watch a kick a$$ professor do their job but better. Well, at least with far less damage then they could really do. But she had to admit, those were some cool looking creatures. One absolutely beautiful the other more stead fast.

K.K. considered looking into a pet Pokemon for her boys, given how Leo had gushed about his sister's assistant Pokemon. Chain on the other hand was more impressed with the over-sized fluffy Pokemon the Professor had ridden.

■■■

Klaus was passing by the lab with Steven. Nearly a month had passed since they first met the professor. While she had remained a relatively quiet and polite person, only ever interfering in incidents involving Pokemon, Klaus had several burning questions for her.

Steven could tell this, he'd spent long enough by Klaus's side to just know when he needed external permission to follow his whims.

"Why don't we see about making an appointment to chat with Professor Arjun? Worst that could possibly happen is she's booked until New Years."

Klaus chuckled a tiny bit, unaware he was even showing any kind of intrigue in the building they were about to pass.

"I don't see why we couldn't check upon it in person."

Steven smirked a bit, turning back to enter the lab. Yep, he knew his red-haired friend a little too well sometimes.

Both were met with quite the sight though. Professor Arjun had a large flying scorpion Pokemon clinging to her back. Not to mention several smaller Pokemon following her every step. It was a wonder she was able to move at all without tripping.

"Yes, I understand the delay. Of course. Yes, thank you." Professor turned, sliding her phone into her shirt pocket with a sigh, "Can I help you gentlemen?"

Of course she didn't miss a beat. Though Klaus was a bit nervous to see so many Pokemon all at once.

"Good afternoon Professor." Steven broke the ice, "We were hoping to set up a short meeting to discuss a couple things."

Professor Arjun opened her mouth to reply, but was cut off by her phone. Instead having to answer.

"Hello. Professor Arjun speaking."

Were there no other staff members here? Why was she swarmed with Pokemon? Klaus had more questions and still no answers. Though she was polite about having to take a call from Professor Sonia Magnolia.

Their conversation was about the still continuing space-time rifts that popped up from time to time. They were mostly avoidable, but every so often they were random and rather distructive. Yet the Pokemon found inside were never any more dangerous than any other found naturally.

"Forgive me for that." Professor Arjun turned to Klaus and Steven again, "You were saying?"

"We would like to schedule a meeting Professor." Klaus was a little too nervous and was talking louder than he intended, "To discuss possible assistance in training our own Pokemon."

Professor Arjun's eyebrow raised up, threatening to disappear in her hair, "Training for what precisely? To battle competitively, raise as pets, or field work?"

"Field work. Similar to how you use your own Pokemon in confrontations."

"Hm..." Klaus relaxed as she did, but still waited with baited breath, "That's rather difficult training. Quite extensive. And you aren't exactly affiliated with the police or I would've seen you before now."

Both were sweating a little around the collar.

"If you have a moment right now. I could at least get a couple answers before giving my own. It sounds odd, but so will the questions I need to ask." Klaus and Steven looked at each other with suspicious looks, "Would you step into my office? Uh...my private office. I don't think discussing this in an room where anyone can burst in is a good idea."

Both nodded at the Professor and followed her into a rather small office covered in small pet beds with a comfortable looking tiny sofa and desk. The Pokemon dispersed to various beds and playing with one another, except the Gligar across her back, which stayed attached to her as she sat on a stool, offering the more comfortable seating to her guests. Klaus eased onto the couch while Steven sat in the chair.

"So, you mentioned field work. That wouldn't happen to be like....fang hunting field work, would it?"

Klaus sat forward, his surprise mirrored by Steven, "Absolutely what we meant. Do you have experience with fang hunters?"

"Very little. One man called 'Lucky' I think. Poor man was being followed by a wild Absol." Professor Arjun leaned back a little, "I figured out fairly quickly why but he was very talkative about....blood breeds?"

Steven groaned. Of course Lucky would be lowkey trying to recruit a powerful Pokemon trainer, "Yes, its the term we use for vampires. Its a more accurate term."

"Ah....then I wouldn't recommend you train Pokemon."

Klaus furrowed his brow, "How come Professor?"

"I'm sure there's no lack of skill or dedication in either of you nor your team. But the training itself is extensive and time consuming." Professor Arjun looked apologetic, "And from what little information I do have. You don't have a lot of time to spare between your jobs to fully train a Pokemon, let alone a team."

Klaus and Steven blinked slowly at the concern. The logical concern.

"Buuuuut, if you're dead set on doing so. I will do what I can to help you. I just can't recommend it with a clear conscious."

"We deeply appreciate the concern Professor." Klaus bowed his head slightly, "Though I assure you we can take our time training Pokemon properly. Though it's likely going to take longer than you're thinking since our job will take obvious priority over training."

Placebo Kiss [Raju x Reader]

This little fic was requested by anonymous 🩹

You had been washing the dishes when you noticed the water turning red with a stinging pain in your ring finger. You had sliced into fingertip while washing a serrated knife. The soapy water stung, but a quick rinse in colder water eased that immediately.

Raju had heard your hiss of pain and hopped into the kitchen just in time to see you rincing the wound. He was quick to grab some bandages and disinfectant to help tend to the minor injury.

While he hated that you got injured, but knew you weren't injured that badly. His time spent training Zapp especially was very informative to what humas thought were major wounds.

Raju was dabbing at your finger with the disinfectant, "You need to be more careful [Name]. This could have been avoided."

"I was being careful." You hissed lightly at the sting of the rubbing alcohol, "But after doing the dishes for so long, my fingers get a little numb and pruney. My finger slipped is all."

Raju clicked his tongue and reached for the bandages. Until you stopped him.

"You have to kiss it first. Make it feel better."

It was innocent enough, but....

"That isn't a medically proven procedure. By all means, it won't work. I've never seen a huma kiss a wound better."

You stopped for a second. You knew he was right, but it was the gesture that someone feel better. His students wouldn't have done it, trained professionals certainly don't. Yet....

"That's because it has to be done by someone who really cares about the injured person. Like a parent or lover."

You were trying to keep a straight face. While you couldn't even see his, let alone read it, you were certain he just raised an eyebrow at your claim.

Raju wasn't so sure this would work. Yes he cared about you, deeply and wanted you to heal quickly. But he also worried that his actions could also make it worse.

He decided it was worrh at least trying. If you were so set on it would work, then he would trust your judgement. Leaning over and pulling your hand up to meet his mouth, Raju planted a tiny kiss over the area before applying the bandaid.

Work out Buddies [Klaus & Reader]

This fun little fic was requested by anonymous 🏋

There's an x if you squint reeeeeeal hard. Its about two sappy monolouges and an awkward confession away. ;)

"So, any plans after work [Name]?" Leo was trying not to sound too desperate for company.

"Hm. Just the usual." You turned, breaking concentration from a game of solitaire, "Just go work out at Fitness Inc."

Zed looked up from his book, "Wasn't that destroyed earlier today? I doubt they've had a chance to fully rebuild."

"There is always the office gym, dorkiness." Zapp piped up, unwantedly, "You could always just work out here."

You sighed a little, knowing the office would be empty at that time. And Leo wouldn't join you for a workout.

"True." You were talking slower still in thought, "But working out alone always gives me the creeps. Even if I am in a safe building."

Before Zapp could begin his relentless teasing, Klaus paused in his usual rounds in the office. Tending his plants that is.

"I wouldn't mind staying and working out with you [Name]." You looked over at your boss, "If you're comfortable with me doing so that is. I also had plans to workout after hours and could use a change of scenery."

You didn't want to be conceited and think Klaus was doing this for any reason other than pure kindness. Because that was just in Klaus's nature to be there for his coworkers no matter why.

"Um, sure. I don't see why not. Thanks Klaus."

You were running a bit late on your way back to the office after hours. A road block for reconstruction had you chasing detours that nearly sent you to the Alterworld. But it was necessary since you didn't carry workout gear with you to your actual job.

Klaus was waiting patiently in the main office, his reroute back to the office had been much less hectic. Despite him neededing to get some rather specific items as part of his own workout gear.

Though it wasn't something you usually did, you couldn't just give Klaus the cold shoulder when he'd been the one to offer to do this. And the conversation was polite and friendly the whole time, Klaus only cutting it off for his own modesty's sake.

You were turned to a bench, part of you curious as to what Klaus even considered workout gear, given that he fought while wearing a three piece suit and tie. But making sure things were set up so Klaus wouldn't have to dig through your stuff was just a courteous act.

Not that Klaus would be that reserved if it were an emergency.

You turned back to the room when the door closed somewhere behind you. And you froze.

You've never seen Klaus wear just a tank top. Nor did you think he even owned a pair of shorts. Yet, he looked good. Really good.

Your eyes wandered up extremely well defined muscles. Almost like they were chiseled from marble and painted. Until you remembered where you were and who you were ogling.

You cleared your throat, "Ah, sorry about that. I'm just not use to seeing you dressed like that."

"Hm, I see." Klaus was a bit shy, especially since he could see you openly staring at him, "Well, there's no need to apologize. Were you thinking about working out together or separately?"

You felt like dying of embarrassment. Of course he'd still be polite about this. Maybe you could get over this feeling of inadequacy....and the sudden thumping in your chest.

Lovey Dovey [Klaus x Reader]

This adorable little fic was requested by anonymous 💋

Finally, a peaceful evening in this chaotic city, you were able to relax with your lover and not worry. The two of you had turned the living room into a massive nest of pillows and blankets, watching softly romantic movies and snuggling.

Klaus had one arm curled around your back as you were half perched over his chest. He was a bit more interested in something other than the movie, if he was honest with himself.

You were quick to pick up on his sudden restlessness as his fingers gently drummed along with the music across your back. He always seemed apposed to just saying what he wanted. But you knew that was just the way Klaus showed respect. He truly was the perfect gentleman in that sense.

"Klaus?"

"Hmmm?"

He looked at you slowly, attempting to mask his nerves and desires.

Instead of speaking, you adjusted to be face to face. Klaus was instantly flustered, he knew what you were doing but failed to realize that you knew how to read his body language by now. You acting like this always blindsided him because he believed himself to be quite unreadable. Yet he wasn't going to turn you down, not when he wanted this as well.

Both of you moved slowly, exchanging soft, chaste kisses. Klaus carefully helping you up into his lap to be as close as possible. To make everything as comfortable as possible.

You arms snaked up around his neck, one hand tangling into the red mane, the other just clinging to his shoulder. He kept his hands respectfully around your back, slowly tightening his grip as you settled into the intimacy of the moment.

Klaus desperately wanted you to know just how much he loved you. How much you meant to him. He wanted to convey this through his every action. Just how overwhelming this feeling was for him, how badly he needed to express it. How you clouded his mind, guiding his every action. How everything you were, everything you did was his favorite thing. His absolute reason for fighting and protecting humanity contained in the person he was currently so close to.

You felt like melting. Klaus was so gentle, so respectful. Yet once he got into a moment like this, he was so deeply passionate. It was overwhelming to say the least. And you didn't know if you were even capable of matching it. But you weren't going to let that stop you from pouring every ounce of your love into this.

Each gentle kiss slowly got deeper, lasted just a few seconds longer. Klaus's hands slowly traveling up your back. Your arms carefully tightening. Both of you tangling together with no intention of letting go for long.

Klaus pulled back, he wasn't going to take this too far without permission. He could never take advantage of you like that, no matter how badly he wanted it.

You paused. Klaus could be a little difficult to read at times, but this wasn't one of them.

"I want to honey." You barely whispered between heavy breaths, "I want this."

Klaus smiled a tiny bit, carfully readjusting until he was hovering over you, "As you wish Liebling."

You melted into the intense, passionate kissing, knowing exactly where it would lead in a short while.
