Victor And Jake - Tumblr Posts

(original drabble - Okay to reblog)

Jake's stomach twisted itself in knots as he stared at himself in the mirror, increasingly convinced that he'd made a big mistake. After all, the fact that it was an illusion didn't necessarily make his human face any less real, and after so many years of it felt a lot more natural than the one staring back at him with pebbly grey skin, red eyes, and tousled blond hair that didn't entirely cover two short black horns.

He felt like he was going to be sick.

The door opened behind him as his fiance (soon-to-be-husband!) Victor slipped into the room.

"Vic!" Jake whirled to face him. "You're can't... We're not--"

Vic smirked. "Neither of us are brides here, so we've got nothing to worry about."

"But..." Jake grimaced and turned back toward the mirror, an unpleasant jolt running through him at the sight of the demonic features staring back at him.

"Hey." Vic crossed the room to put a gentle hand on Jake's shoulder. "Babe. What's going on? Talk to me."

"I..." Jake hunched in on himself. "I'm not sure I want anyone to see me like this."

"Like what. Like yourself?" Vic's voice was gentle, his smile missing its habitual edge.

Jake opened and closed his mouth several times. "Well. I mean. When you put it like that."

Victor's smile widened into a teasing grin. "Besides, there's only half an hour until the ceremony starts, and your potion takes a full day to kick in. So unless you want to call off the wedding..."

"Maybe I do," Jake grumped.

"You don't mean that," Victor said confidently, leaning forward to kiss Jake.

What initially started as reassurance turned into something else as heat flared between them. Jake kissed his fiance like he was drowning and Victor was his only lifeline, and when Victor finally broke the kiss Jake could only stare stupidly at him - all previous thoughts having vanished from his brain.

"I am not letting you ruin my suit," Victor asaid sternly.

Jake stared fondly at Victor's face, loving the sight of the flushed cheeks and kiss-reddened lips that he had caused. "You know," he said with a smirk. "Soon I'm going to have your body and your soul."

Victor's answering smile was warm and so, so full of promise. "I can't wait."

(Was looking for some drabble prompts and found this one. Happy with how this turned out!)
