Ugh The Slowest Of Slow Burns - Tumblr Posts

How about guy and honey in the imperium universe? 👀👀

In the Imperium, Quinn is pretty much keeping Honey as a pet- like on a chained leash and shit -it’s humiliating. He takes advantage of Darlin’s death to take his “emotions” out on Honey instead.

BUT GUY- and unempowered human running from department staff, sees this shifter chained to a tree; whimpering and groaning in pain as Quinn and his ‘goons’ plot their next move in the comfort of a warm shack. He stops in his tracks immediately, standing before them and trying to weigh his options.

At this point Honey has lost all hope of escape, but when they see this stranger standing before them- just panting and staring down at them- they growl at him.

All of that anger fades when Honey notices a deciding change in Guy’s eyes as he begins to rip the chains from the tree. Honey almost chokes on the metal from his errors before realizing what Guy was really trying to do. He was trying to set them free.

Guy didn’t have time for this, who knew how far bending him the enforcers were. But he knew this was far more important than any punishment the Department had waiting for him back there.

Thats when Guy just groans in defeat and pulls out this huge ass axe. ‘So that’s how he’s survived out here long enough to find me’

“When I say go, pull yourself as far as you can away from the tree, get me?”

Honey pulls, hard. And they didn’t open their eyes for a little while after his instruction. That’s when they feel it, the cold air of winter against their neck. It’s gone, it’s fucking gone. Honey just stares up at him in disbelief, and he stares right back down at them- looking just as shocked despite the little smile cocking his lips upward.

All of that is broken as the two turn their attention to the sound of booming footsteps finding their way towards them. All of that mutual freedom melted at the boisterous allure of yelling. Honey knew what they had to do.

With any strength that was left- which wasn’t much- Honey shifted and grunted at Guy to get on their back. Guy quickly slung the axe over his back and mounted the wolf, forcing his head forward and away from the danger.

The moment Honey felt Guy settle on their back, these two were flying through the trees, going anywhere but here. Honey forgot about every time Quinn used, beat, and fed on them- and every night spent shivering and crying silent tears in the cold while he resided in the warmth of his base with this friends- sipping blood and making plans.

Honey didn’t taste the blood in their mouth anymore, they were free. And for the first time in months; Honey smiled.

Guy is absolutely terrified as Honey takes him through the woods, and they’re only getting faster as a smile forms on their mouth. He understands now, and even begins to laugh from atop this absolute powerhouse of a shifter.

All these two have is each other now, Honey owes Guy their life. These two feel so safe around each other despite constantly being on the run from something or someone.
