Party!! [Leo X Reader]

Party!! [Leo x Reader]

Requested by anonymous 🎉

Leo groaned in frustration. This wasn't working, at all. Sure, he could go grab another cake mix and call his boss for pointers... but Leo felt that it was a bit too late for a homemade cake. Not when you'd be here in three hours or so.

"Well, time for plan B, Sonic." The little monkey had fled the kitchen when Leo opened the oven but was cautiously poking his head back in, "Though I guess it's more like plan 895..."

As Leo made his way back through the city, careful to not drop the little box of cupcakes while balancing a grocery bag. He was being extra alert because of this. Unfortunately...

"LEO!!"

His grimace was almost palpable, "Not today Zapp. I'm busy."

"Oh, well excuse me... Are those cupcakes?"

"Not for you!" Leo backed up several paced from the silver haired sleaze ball, "These are for [Name]. Its her birthday after all."

"Aaaawwwww." The older male teased, "Gonna be a good little boyfwiend and get her some cupcakes??"

"Buzz off Zapp! Don't make me call Klaus!"

"Jeez, alright sheesh!" He rolled his eyes and made to walk off, "But I'm getting one of those cupcakes!!"

Leo made a mad dash through the back alleys. This was not what he wanted to deal with today!!

You had tried so very hard to tell Leo that you didn't need a birthday party. That you'd be perfectly fine just hanging out for a little while... and maybe spending the night if he wanted. But a full party was something else entirely.

But, you had a sneaking suspicion that all your insistence had fallen on deaf ears. Both Leo's and Sonic's. Though Leo did mention he wouldn't mind if you wanted to stay the night too. That alone had you feeling just a little giddy as you climbed the stairs to the little flat Leo was renting.

Leo jumped at the knocking, despite knowing it was you. He really wanted this to be nice... even if you had said it was completely unnecessary. BUT a little party for two and half, just sitting and watching your favorite movies half the night. That seemed to be just within the bounds of "not a party" to Leo.

None of that mattered in the slightest as Leo fumbled the door knob however. But hearing that soft giggle from you made Leo's heart skip a beat.

"[Name]." Leo tried to hide his blush, and nerves, with a hug, "Happy Birthday."

"Thanks Leo." You leaned up a little, threatening to go on tiptoe into his hug, "I-"

Sonic was squeaking from somewhere in the apartment before appearing on Leo's shoulder. He was patting Leo's shoulder almost like he was angry? You could never tell.

"Hello to you to Sonic." He leaned into your hand as you patted him, "I guess you were trying to say 'Happy Birthday' too, huh?"

Apparently not... Sonic started tugging on Leo's ear and pointing to the kitchen. The way Leo's eyes almost opened gave away something you weren't entirely sure you wanted to find out about.

"Oh, right!" Leo gasped, "Uh... [Name], could you wait in the living room? I gotta check something."

"Alright Leo."

You closed the door behind yourself, taking off your shoes to leave by the door, and went to sit on Leo's bed. Sadly his apartment wasn't equipped with a bedroom, so the living room was his bedroom.

Certainly made for easier cuddling on movie nights.

Just as you were settling in, looking around at the array of items on the table, you realized just how much of it was stuff you liked. A little plate of... slightly messy... cupcakes, a selection of your favorite candy bars, favorite sodas, and a stack of the movies you liked watching. It made you just a little giddy to know that this was the 'party' Leo had in mind for the night.

"AH!" You nearly stood up when Leo cried out, "Ow, ow, ow. Don't worry [Name]! just forgot to grab the oven mitt!"

You got up anyways. But Sonic met you before you could fully stand, smacking into your face and knocking you back onto the bed. When Sonic finally moved, Leo was standing in the doorway holding a large bowl of fresh popcorn.

"I know you didn't want a party," He began sheepishly, "But I couldn't just not celebrate my favorite person's special day."

You could feel your heart melting. Words failed you, as they seemed to do frequently. Instead you stood up, this time without Sonic tackling your face, and squeezed Leo in a tight hug. Though you were still interrupted by Sonic trying to wiggle his way in between the two of you. Both you and Leo chuckled as Sonic wormed his way under your necks.

Five More Minutes [Raju x Reader]

This adorable little fic was requested by anonymous 🛏

Raju stirred a bit, not meaning to wake you but doing so anyways. Though the way you were still clinging to him made him feel like something was wrong. And he was quick to check your temperature. Brushing against your forehead as his basic understanding of huma's anatomy and wellbeing was that being too warm was a sign of illness.

You wiggled a bit, pushing his hand away gently.

"No, that's not it." You yawned, "I just want to stay put for a bit."

Raju thought about why you'd want to do this. Though still settled back into bed, rubbing your back. Weary about actually lulling you back to sleep. But still relishing that you were comfortable cuddling up to him like this.

So many things still felt like a dream to him. Like they shouldn't be happening... he would wake up soon and you wouldn't be here when he did. And Raju didn't like that idea at all.

You were just enjoying being so close to Raju. He was a rather sweet man... person. While it did take him a little while to even let you close like this, in any sense, this was so very worth all that effort. You felt perfectly safe snuggled under his last remaining arm.

It was a bit funny how stubborn he was about certain kinds of affection. Where he wanted you positioned when the two of you cuddled, how flustered he got when you could sneak up on him, how he fumbled in doing simple, domestic tasks.

Eventually you sat up, stretching and getting ready for the day. Though, Raju snuck his own sweet kiss on the cheek, just to make you blush.

Whyyyyyy [Zapp x Reader]

This fun little fic was requested by anonymous 🥲

.

You were having a pretty good day, until Zapp opened his mouth. And while you had long since sought refuge in the office gym, you were confident Zapp wouldn't follow you.

But you were wrong.

Like this living tool had radar, he waltzed right into the gym. You were doing your best to ignore him, and he shared your sentiment. Though he loathed to admit it, you did look kinda hot working with the Wing Chun. He would die before he acknowledge it, let alone say it.

He was trying to stay busy lifting weights. There was nothing you had to offer him, nope. He had so many better options just by going out to the bar. And it wasn't like he was trying to impress you. Hell no, he just needed a bit of a challenge today.

~~~

Great! Fan-f&cking-tastic! Stuck on a g%d d&mned, mother f&cking mission with this b^tch and t^ts! Zapp could have done all this by his d&mned self and the Chief knew it. Assigning you was just the b^tch move he didn't need!

Not that you were too thrilled about this either. Stuck sharing a motel room with this scumbag was not going to be easy. But travel missions didn't just happen, and getting away from the mist for a while was at least some kind of compensation.

"Ground rules Renfro." You were gatekeeping the door to make Zapp listen, "No bringing any furry friends home to roost, if you're gonna bump uglies find somewhere else to bunk. And no booze in here either, I can't exactly carry your weight when you fall."

"Yeah yeah." Zapp groaned behind his cigar, "Any other commandments your holiness?"

You frowned at the silver haired pain in the &ss, "Just don't get yourself killed outside the mission. Or I'll make sure your headstone says something like you died slipping on a banana peel."

"You wouldn't f&cking dare." Zapp glared at you through the smoky haze.

"Bet."

Zapp growled. He wouldn't put it past you to do it. Though it would be way worse if you let she-b^tch help.

"Whatever. I don't die that easily hasbin."

"You want a mirror bicycle."

"Shut up!"

~~~

You laid back, staring at the ceiling. Why were you worried? Zapp would actually somewhat respect your rules. You didn't know why he would, but you knew that he would. So why were you even worried about this?

Most of the time you couldn't stand his guts but here you were kinda lamenting his absence. Not that you say it out loud or even remotely suggest it to him, but the room was just a little too quiet without him.

Until he burst right into the room like the Kool-Aid Man carrying a battering ram.

Zapp was greeted by the 'oh-so-lovely' sight of you glaring him down from your bed. He didn't know what crawled up your &ss. He made it back in one piece, didn't bring anyone with him, and didn't bring back any booze either. Like usual, he followed your rules like holy writ. If only to keep you from squealing to the Chief about how 'unpleasant he is to work with' or whatever you said about him in the debriefing sessions. Zapp never paid attention to that stuff. Just point him where he needs to start slicing and get the hell out of his way.

But at least you flumped back into bed without a fuss.

"What!?" Zapp fell into his own bed, "Givin' me the stink eye like I broke your rules or something."

"You didn't have to slam the door open like that." You sighed, "Nearly gave me a heart attack dumb &ss."

Zapp looked over, seeing you look more annoyed than angry. Or was that his imagination. Why should he care anyways? Not like you were any kind of prize. Just another co-worker with a stick up their...

Actually, Zapp had no reason to believe you were like that. When he was stealthy he could over hear you attempt to make plans. If he didn't hate your... well he didn't know what he hated about you... he would have gone with you.

You felt eyes on you and barely peeked, "What dip stick? You got something to say?"

"Like hell!" Zapp rolled over, "You're the one with the pissy attitude."

"Well maybe I wouldn't have an attitude if I had a partner that did his job right!"

"Oh like you're sooooo talented, huh? I've carried your &ss on more missions than I can count."

"Please." You scoffed, "One, you don't count to save your life; two, I've kept you from death by stupidity more then you've been successful on dates!"

"You go there Raggamuffin? Like you get dates at all!"

"At least when I do get dates they're actually interested in me and not just my body!"

"How the hell would you know that?" Zapp's head snapped back towards you, "For all you know those morons are just playing the long game!"

You huffed, rolling over and pulling the sleeping bag you brought over yourself. It wasn't something you actually liked talking about, but it was something you were a little self-conscious over. The number of times you'd been dumped not too long after getting a little close had been a bit too frequent for your liking.

Zapp didn't do well in the oppressive silence. Part of him actually felt bad for going too far. Sure he was known for chasing skirts so it didn't bug him too much to have people comment on his love life... but maybe he had gone too far dragging yours through the mud like that.

He sat up with a loud groan, "Hey, don't tell me you fell asleep already."

You did your best not to move. You simply weren't interested in talking to him.

"C'mon." You felt a foot in the middle of your back, "You can't fool me. Wake the hell up."

Zapp stopped, he could see you were trying to avoid him. He drew his leg back onto his bed.

"Listen. I didn't mean what I said." Zapp stared up at the ceiling, "Those dumb&sses don't know what they're losing doing dumb sh^t like that. And you really do have a good head on your shoulders. So just don't let it get to you, 'kay?"

That shocked you enough to roll over completely, "Who are you and what did you do with Zapp."

"SHUT IT CORN-FLAKE!" Zapp sat up, "I'm not above admitting when I've f&cked up."

You raised an eyebrow at him. Zapp huffed and turned away.

"I'm not saying anything else so take it or leave it, &ss-wipe."

You just laid there. Not fully believing what you just heard. What got into Zapp this time?

~~~

Zapp couldn't believe how sh^t his luck was tonight. Not a single person caught his eye and for whatever reason he just couldn't make himself go home with anyone. Its not like there would be a shortage of babes running around. Not that Zapp would refuse any good looking hottie that caught his eye. And...

An almost familiar silhouette caught his attention. Who was this sexy little number? And why did they seem familiar on some level?

Zapp shrugged it off. It was entirely likely to either be a past fling or someone he's passed so often they just look familiar.

Nope!

You had been unceremoniously dumped, again. Sitting at the bar, trying not to cry because you really should have seen this coming. The other person had been so pushy about rushing things to the bedroom, so of course they would call you a prude and end it. All because you weren't ready to go there yet.

"Sup hotness, don't think I've seen..."

You looked over at Zapp, knowing instantly who it was but hoping you had been wrong. You both yelled and pointed at the same time.

"NOT YOU!"

Zapp was more furious with himself than the situation. The last person he wanted to hit on, of course his sh^tty luck. You just didn't want to be here right now. This ding-nut would only find a way to make things infinitely worse for you.

But Zapp extended the olive branch first, "Not that I give a f&ck, but why are you here by yourself?"

"None of your business."

"Tch, no need to be all snobby Corn-Flake." Zapp raised his hand to order a drink, trying to play it off like that was why he stuck around, "Just asking. Besides, it's not exactly like you to go out on your own."

"And how would you know, bicycle?"

Zapp shot half a glare at you, he couldn't look too long because he did find you attractive. As loathed as he was to admit it, "Ya know, I do have ears. And you aren't exactly quiet."

"Didn't think you knew how to use them." You scoffed, "Thought they were just to frame that pretty face of yours."

You stopped, hoping Zapp didn't just hear you say that. Cursing everything about tonight leading up to you saying that. Zapp was blinking, trying to come up with how to go on behind his shot glass. On the one hand, you sounded upset so anything you said could just be emotions talking, and you never did deny that he was handsome. On the other, if that's how you really felt... then so much of your rivalry with him made so much more sense.

"Well guess again." Zapp was going to go with charm and maybe get his own hormones sorted out, "This dumb&ss does more than sit around, looking pretty and getting into trouble."

You were refusing to answer. Recognizing that you were being baited into admitting something you didn't want to own up to. That did not deter Zapp in any way though. He leaned in closer, you could smell his aftershave. It was a light scent, almost like a low burning campfire. That really suited Zapp...

"You know," His voice had dropped into a husky tone... Oh god, was he really doing this?? Was he screwing with you? "We could drop everything and hook up for the night. Not that it would be just one night."

"I don't do one night stands." You answered, trying to not look at him, "I actually date people to get to know them before I run to the bedroom."

Zapp grabbed your chin and pulled you to look at him. Your resolve was crumbling faster than a cookie in milk. Why was he so damn, bloody handsome? What was this witchcraft? And what was Zapp's end game here?

"I don't want a one night stand from you." The way he was leaning in... you glanced down and back up at his eyes, unsure where to look really, "I'd rather take my time. Because the chase is the fun part, not the s*x."

You gulped, "Not like you'd stick around once you got what you--!!"

Zapp's lips were pressed against yours, hard. You felt so confused, wanting to push away but also wanting to pull him closer and AAAARGHHH!

But just as you were starting to get into it, Zapp pulled away.

"Then let me prove myself." He was still right there in your face, "And if I do cut and run, you'll still see me at work. So it's not like I'll ever live it down... or be able to get away from you trying to hit me all the time."

You were shaking a bit, but... "Yeah, alright. But if you tell anyone in the office I'll smack you into next week."

Zapp's stupid little smirk just before he kissed you again. AAAAAARRRRGGHHHHH!!!

Game Night [Zapp x Reader]

This fun little fic was requested by anonymous 👾

"Ha! Suck it [Name]!"

Zapp thought he had the upper hand, passing you and claiming first place. But you knew there was a Blue Shell closing in. And Zapp took the bait, every. single. time.

"You b*tch!" Zapp threw the controller on the cushions in front of you, "You knew that was about to happen! How could you!"

"That's Mario Kart Zapp." You snickered, "Git gud or stay mad."

Zapp grumbled, chomping on a handful of chips. Your living room was an absolute mess at the moment. Bits of chips, popcorn, and stray pieces of candy scattered everywhere, soda had been spilled a couple times. Leading to you putting towels all over.

For once he didn't want to drink anything stronger. But then again, even Zapp had to get tired of full-on partying every once in awhile. And since you didn't party much at all, he felt like you were the safest option to keep him from running off to the neon lights.

But in watching you set up the next round, Zapp realized he wasn't all that upset you won. You were pretty d&mn cute giggling like that. And it wasn't like he had many friends that could beat him at any game, let alone racing games.

Zapp turned sharply. F&$k! He was catching feelings again... Well, there were worse ways to fall. Namely on his back after attacking the Chief.

"You ready or should I catch a movie?" You taunted.

"Shut it and give me the controller." Zapp wiped his hands on one of the towels, "You're going down this time sexy!"

You stopped. Since when did Zapp ever call you that? You chose to ignore it for now, Zapp was just a weird guy. It was likely just a slip of the tongue.

What to Say [Klaus x Reader]

Little follow up fic to What to Do.

Klaus couldn't help but feel a little selfish in asking you to go through this. He knew you also needed closure after so long silently dealing with this. But there was also the closure of who would you end up choosing.

This played in Klaus's mind as the search for your... ex... kept going. You had admitted to still having feelings for this other individual. Yet Klaus wanted to believe you when you said you loved him. While he could be certain of that right now while your ex wasn't in the picture... What would happen if they returned hail and healthy and you realized you loved them more than himself?

It hung over Klaus's head for what felt like months. Until there was indeed a breakthrough, when a building reappeared. In a very similar fashion to the Bradbury General Hospital; another large building, this one being a branch of banks that had long since pulled out of Hellsalem's Lot after the Collapse, appeared not too far from the edge of the mist. Where the building had stood before its disappearance.

Your memories came flooding back as you walked with Klaus. Everything you had tried working through, everything you tried to stuff in the back of your mind, flooded your mind's eye.

Running for cover, trying to make some kind of sense of the chaos around you...none of this made sense. Your lover was running ahead of you when you tripped. You couldn't even call out before the door closed behind them.

You didn't even have a clue why you'd blacked out at that moment. But it still ate at you to this day. Even walking hand in hand with Klaus didn't calm your nerves. Though medical professionals and police were the first to go in, your heart still skipped a beat seeing your ex healthy.

And that killed you a little.

You were happy with Klaus, you shouldn't feel this way...right? It felt weird for you to try and hug your ex while still holding Klaus's hand. You didn't want to let go, you thought you made your choice.

Klaus could feel how badly you were shaking seeing your ex. He wasn't sure why you were. Guilt? Fear? Anticipation? Klaus wanted to make this as easy for you as he could, but when he tried to let your hand go, he was shocked when your grip doubled.

Were your nerves over the situation that bad? How had he not noticed? Should he stop? Take you home and hope your ex hadn't seen you? Was he hurting you by being this selfish? Asking you to go through with this closure when you expressed no desire to do so...

Klaus couldn't tell, and it broke his heart.

Regardless, you'd all hit the point of no return. Your ex say you, and was more than capable of putting two and two together. Still, they came up and hugged you. But in a way that felt like they were holding a grudge, and you couldn't blame them in the slightest.

"It's a pleasure to meet you." Klaus tried to break the ice, "I'm Klaus von Reinherz. [Name] has told me quite a bit about you."

Your ex decided to at least be polite, "I'm sure they have Mr. Reinherz."

Klaus led the way, the three of you settling in a nice café. You sat opposite your ex, slowly folding under that steady gaze. It was much different from what you knew. But then again, if you had been in their position... you wouldn't be too happy to see them moved on.

Well, that was a lie. If your ex had moved on and was happy, you'd be able to survive. Maybe this was that. Your ex would be upset at first, naturally. Then given a little time, they would forgive you and let this go.

"You seem to be happy [Name]." There was nothing but contempt in that voice that once held love, "And you certainly moved on fast."

"I thought you had died." You answered meekly, "I had no way of knowing one way or the other."

"And you just couldn't wait huh?"

Klaus felt deeply uncomfortable listening to this. Your ex was somewhat justified yes, but they refused to listen to a word you were saying. This seemed to be far too one-sided, and Klaus was regretting urging you to find them. Though, this was the better way for them to find out. At least Klaus would have liked this kind of closure had he been unable to see his lover for so long. Even if just to see that they were happy.

"Excuse me." Klaus had to break the conversation somehow, "[Name] was never certain of your fate. They did what they could to keep going in life."

Klaus being glared at like this was new, but not unwarranted.

"Look, I'm sure [Name] told you a lot about this situation." They sighed, "But if they ever really loved me, they would have known I was okay."

That made Klaus's blood boil. Like a switch had been flipped. And you felt like you weren't sitting next to the loving gentleman you'd fallen for, but a purely malicious monster that would kill without thought. It scared you to no end how easily Klaus could change. But you had to get him away from this situation.

"Then I guess I never did love you."

The quaver in your voice wasn't lost on Klaus, nor was the tiny tremble as you stood up. His demeanor had shifted back to normal with that realization, not even aware of his own change. Instead getting up to follow you from the cafe. Though his heart sank when you flinched from him, even if was for half a second. Klaus knew he had genuinely frightened you in some way.

"Liebling." Klaus tried to soften his voice as much as he could, "Are you okay? I didn't mean to frighten you."

"I'll be okay." You held onto his arm, showing it was short-lived, "Just... A lot to process."

Klaus nodded, leading you home so you two could relax and let this pass.

Just a rant while I'm on break....

It annoys me so much that Zapp just randomly attacks Klaus. It makes very little sense at all. Like, Zapp knows Klaus is a TRAINED PROFESSIONAL FANG HUNTER that suffered the worst parts of letting one's guard down and poor reflexes.

Probably...the one-shot says yes but it isn't completely confirmed in the manga/anime....but there is evidence since Klaus sorta apologized the first time we see him seal a blood breed....but that's beside the point.

And sure, Klaus himself says this is normal and that Zapp is attempting redrum basically every day. And I get the joke, I really do.

Zapp just proving that Klaus is a pure bad&ss that could take me any day of the week and use me however he wants

But it reallt doesn't make sense even as an assassination attempt. It would make MORE sense if Zapp just did that to EVERYONE as a form of sneak/ambush training. Like

"Oh yeah, Leonardo be on your toes. Zapp enjoys sneaking up on people. He believes it will help with general fang hunting."

But whatever, sure... lets see Klaus snap Zapp over his knee [and as a fanbase be just shy enough to admit Klaus wouldn't have to fight us to get the same...gentler...version]
