The air smelled of morning frost mixed with a faint smell of oil and books, as Noli studied Trap. The twinkles that emerged and faded in his pitch-black skin always mesmerized the researcher, as she gently traced her fingers over his skin, almost feather-light. He lets go of his arm and jots something down in his notes again, listening to the faint clinking in the background from his other partner.
C00lkidd had been acting up lately, overheating just from short uses, and nearly gave Elli a burn while cuddling the other night. While he HAD been ignoring it at first, after that small scare, he decided he needed to act on it sooner rather than later. Hence, he is practically banging the dust out of the vents, poking at the panels with a screwdriver, and overall solving the issue. He was determined to get it over with, jealousy clear in his eyes whenever he looked over at Noli studying Trap. He’d look away every time Noli looked back at him, though.
Just as Noli was about to do just that, however, an ice-cold hand stopped him. “Shouldn’t you just be focusing on me, darling?” the entity said, with a clear tease in his voice. That didn’t stop Noli from blushing hard, very weak to flirting and other such advances. Noli flinched back with his eyes squeezed shut, smacking Trap on the hand lightly. “Not now!!!!! You know I’m distracted easily!!” Trap leans forward, smiling. “I do. Did you consider that’s what I’m trying to do?” Noli groans and hides his face, embarrassed to be caught in this situation. Trap just pulls Noli into his lap, giggling lightly at the adorable sight. He gently pries her hands off her face, tracing the edges of the dark splotches on Noli’s otherwise pale skin. Her eyes are still closed, which makes Trap huff in annoyance, wanting to see her abnormally white eyes.
Noli feels the light breath on her face and cracks one eye open, only to be met with a face full of cool void as the entity kisses her gently. Noli gasps in surprise, not really expecting the advance, and Trap takes full advantage of it as he presses harder. Noli feels the force and leans back, trusting Trap to hold his lower back and not let him fall back on his ass. They continue kissing, practically forgetting the other person in the room. At some point, Trap simply picks her up and sets her on a desk nearby, kissing her all over the face more effectively. Noli can only giggle and accept the sweet actions. She wraps her legs around Trap’s waist, pulling him closer and locking her arms around the back of his neck. This goes on for a few minutes before they hear a joyful cry.
“Finally!! I finally fucking figured it out. It was one damn line of code where I made a typo the other week. Essentially, it was just overriding a specific action that I use a lot, and- oh!” Sev had finally turned around, trying to give an overview of the issue as he usually does, before stopping at the sight before him. Not that he was complaining, of course, he could never complain at the sight of his beloveds making out in front of him. However, he was embarrassed that he didn’t catch onto the mood earlier, slightly blushing at his slowness. He picks up the machinery behind him, inputting it into his code before slowly trying to escape the awkward situation. Of course, Trap wasn’t having any of it. He picked up Noli in one arm before snatching Sev’s waist in his other, all too eager to take them to bed for kisses and cuddles.
Noli clung onto Trap’s torso as best as he could, squeaking at the sudden movements and relocation. Sev, meanwhile, shrieked for a moment at the sudden grab and struggled in Trap’s grip, complaining the whole way. “Wait- I need to- Trap c’mon, I need to finish up the code!!!” Trap simply cooed in excitement about what was about to happen. He stepped into the family bedroom, flicking his head between the large bed and his own personal pillow fort. Both Noli and Sev knew what was about to happen, as they were enveloped in darkness at the same moment. They were set down gently in the nest of pillows and blankets, smushed and shaped together by Trap’s gentle claws before he curled around them. For optimum warmth, of course. His head lay down next to Noli’s own, while the rest of his body was curled around Sev’s head.
Trap whispered sweet nothings into Noli’s ear, searching for the reaction he knew would come. And as Noli’s face reddened and he curled into Sev’s chest, he got what he wanted. Sev also giggled at the sight, a frequent enjoyer of Noli’s shyness, too. He looked up at Trap, who was staring right back at him, with a knowing look. Sev’s eyes widened before he too returned the expression, pulling up his code. He initiated the c00lkidd program, feeling the hot electricity consume him whole. Noli looked up in betrayal, already knowing what was coming. And as the red light faded, Sev’s clear glasses changed into the iconic prescription sunglasses, and the pillows around them shifted to accommodate the new shark tail that joined them. Sev grinned at Noli, his teeth sharp as ever. The dread that overcame Noli was incomparable to anything else.
“You like what you see, baby?” the coder asked with an audible smirk. “Oh fuck off, you two,” the researcher replied, already curling in on himself, as far away from the two as possible, which wasn’t far. Sev cackles at the sight, gently grabbing Noli and forcing him to lie straight against him, before pulling in Trap on the other side of Noli, effectively sandwiching the poor researcher. Trap immediately cooed in delight, while Noli whimpered in embarrassment. Sev felt the poor thing shaking, kissing the top of her head, giggling at her shyness. Trap’s claws trailed down to her waist, massaging it to keep her calm. Unfortunately, it just made her hide her face more, hiding the pink on her cheeks. Despite the darkness in the fort, she knew the two “entities” could see more than enough. “Show me your face, my dear? Don’t hide your beautiful eyes from meee.” Trap whispered into his ear, obviously teasing, but also carrying a hint of honesty. Noli took a shaky breath in before slowly sliding his hands down, revealing his very warm face. Sev took advantage of the lack of barrier and kissed him gently on the lips, smoothing over the cracked skin from when Noli picked at it nervously. Trap cards his hand through Noli’s dreads carefully, avoiding snagging on any strands, before gently pressing his own lips to her neck.
If they weren’t seen for the rest of the day by the others, no one asked, and no one answered.
