Out All Day

Out All Day

Femt tried opening a lemonade stand... it looked so easy in the cartoons! But no one wants any (nor do they trust him) and he's getting bored... we all know what happens when Femt gets bored.

At the Throne [Hades! Klaus x Persephone! Reader]

"So... you're not trying to force me to marry you?"

The tall, robed, red-haired man you knew to be the lord of the Underworld nearly dropped his tea tray, "Of course not! I had been in a human market to take the dying saplings onward as usual when I overheard a plot to truly kidnap you."

"Uh-huh." You crossed your arms, "And the humans were just... chatting away about a ploy for this?"

"I know how this sounds [Name], believe me." He settled down across from you, "But it wasn't merely humans plotting your capture. They were doing so for Ares, even if he already has several flings with Aphrodite."

You raised a single eyebrow, "Femt and Aligula aren't exactly a couple. Their 'flings' are more of trying to cause as much chaos as possible."

Trying to study the face of your captor, looking for any indication he was lying, proved very difficult. From his fangs, to his calm demeanor, and his softer-sounding voice; despite his voice being deep. Relaxing in his presence was a weirdly difficult task.

You could see that he was trying to be hospitable, but the reasons behind that were murky at best. After all, consuming things from the Underworld could enter a contract you weren't aware of. At the same time, if Klaus had no ulterior motives then you would just be rude.

~~~~~ Some years later ~~~~~

Sitting by Klaus's side during your tenure in the Underworld had a rather interesting effect. For whatever reason, they would beg to you for lesser punishments as if you had a say in the matter.

Of course, Klaus would take your word into consideration, but he loathed to see souls suffering, even when they deserved it...

But that wasn't why you were here. No, far from that you were looking to escape from Olympus for a time altogether. From other deities just being obnoxious, to random proposals, to your overbearing Mother, and even the idea that you'd be forced to accept someone's proposal soon; you just needed to escape from the nonsense of your station.

While you had Klaus's word that you would always be welcome, he hadn't quite accounted for falling in love with you so hard. Nor did either of you foresee that you'd reciprocate his feelings. It had been slow, subtle hints and gestures. The soft, accidental brush of a hand here; a prolonged glance only to be caught staring there.

Though, Klaus had waited until you expressed your feelings first. Offering you to simply move with him, but respecting that you couldn't do so. Despite being overbearing, your Mother did wreck havoc on all of nature when you weren't around, it was quite bothersome.

And yet, the six months you did share with Klaus were always intriguing...

"P-pl-please, your Gracefulness!" Another poor sinful soul who's mortal life had been spent tormenting others, "I beg of you, do no let him punish me!"

Klaus frowned, knowing what he had to do. But he wasn't the one being addressed, he would respect your decision. After all, you had been shown his life as well... and you knew what the perfew of Klaus's job was overall. Doling out punishment was not exactly a difficult task. An arduous one maybe, but not difficult.

Leaning down to the soul's level, more than close enough for your whisper to be heard, "You're pleas fall on deaf ears wretch. You're begging to the wrong deity anyways."

The abject horror in his eyes as Klaus sentenced him appropriately did hurt a tiny bit. You weren't exactly a mean-spirited entiety yourself, but the fact that nearly every soul insisted that you were the "good one" merely because you were wearing soft colors and flowers braided into your long, mane-like hair did get rather annoying.

.

With the day finally over, you attempted to settle into the green room. As king of the Underworld, Klaus also had duties to tend to various animal's and plant's souls as well. Not that you minded helping him with the plants specifically, it was the main extent of your powers as a god(dess). Yet, it wasn't long before your husband was once more at your side.

"[Name], pray tell, what did you say to the souls whom begged you for forgiveness?"

Turning to look at him, "The same thing I tell every lost soul Love."

Klaus couldn't help but fidget with his watering can, "Need you really be so ruthless toward them all? I understand certain ones not being worthy of grace, but all of them look so utterly terrified of you."

"They all think the same thing Klaus," You huffed a little, "And it simply isn't true. You're a wonderful person who happens to look intimidating. That says nothing about your character, nor your soft heart."

Turning away slightly, a vain attempt to hide his blushing face, Klaus was powerless to stop you.

"Beyond that, I'm not exactly the nicest person. Yet every soul, every human projects that belief onto me simply for the fact that I bring life to the living world through the plants my Mother so carefully cultivates."

You slowed down in your ranting, "And I find adhering to one idea, being an ideal version of one's self to be a destructive tendency."

As badly as Klaus wanted to contradict your statement about how nice you were... He couldn't. If only due to the fact that he could see the reasoning behind such thinking play out in front of his very eyes, frequently.

"And yet Liebling," A large hand rested on our shoulder, "Here you are, bringing life to the Underworld with your presence."

Scratching the side of your face, it was your turn to blush at the sincere compliments of someone who genuinely thought the world of you. Perhaps being whisked off to this otherwise dreary place hadn't been the worst thing to ever happen to you...

Moonlight [Klaus x Reader]

As much as Klaus found your antics to be adorable, trying to find where you'd snuck off to in the middle of the night was a little tiresome. If only because he wanted you to stay in bed after you transformed. Becoming a large, fluffy monster was not the problem you kept thinking it was.

But, here Klaus was, searching for an oversized cat that happened to be his lover. Not sure what he would find, nor where. Checking his phone every few moments and trying to make sure he didn't just walk past you. Klaus knew you'd try to sneak off the other direction if he did.

At least, he thought he had to go on a long hunt again tonight. Until his phone went off.

"Where did you go?"

Klaus blinked down at his phone. He didn't fully know how to answer that without coming off as a little rude. But he did want to know where you'd gone to.

"I thought you'd wandered off again. Where are you?"

"At home, though it feels weird trying to text."

Klaus let out a sigh of relief, turning back immediately. You were safe at least, and Klaus couldn't remain upset. Though seeing you sitting on the bed did feel out of place. The weird crook of your knees and ankles over the side of the bed, as well as how your face had distorted to resemble a mountain lion.

Not that Klaus really cared as he scooped you into a tight hug. You were almost as tall as he was, just able to rest your chin on his shoulder without serious stretching. Even as he crawled up into bed, nuzzling against you. Enjoying the feel of your soft, short fur and the involuntary purring of contentment.

It was nice that you were starting to trust yourself around him.

Morning After...

Third time this week Zed woke up to a message in a bottle in his tank... and he knows its Zapp putting them there. Violence is looking like a better option every day...

Lost a Bet

A bit too lazy to draw hands and feet but they'd have to tie Zapp up for this anyways...

Yeah, he lost a bet and K.K. brought one of hers. (Again lazy so no pattern but the imagination is best for this so...)

Work Vacay

Steven just wants to relax... but first he needs to set up his little area to relax... and that means multiple trips between the car and the spot and just... meh
