Part 12: Hearts
"Even Astartes need a good rest,"
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
"Hurry! Into here!" Vex waved to his brothers while Frost and Rampage entered the chamber as the tau's defensive force was on the counterattack after they infiltrated the tower. The massive door shut behind them while the vox operator of the group silenced the door controls leaving the pack squad in the strange Xeno room. "That was too close Fennec,"
"I agree but by the time they find out why we're here we'll long go and the Titans will have this tower turned into a lake of molten slag," Fennec stated. "Now then Coal,"
"Yeah?"
"Is it ready?" The large warbeast smiled from behind his gas mask as he pulled the large tau plasma battery from his back that was strapped with half a dozen satchel and Krak charges.
"What kind of question is that!" Coal laughed. "The only thing these blue-hooved Xenos are good for is making power sources that make great bombs!"
He was patting the makeshift explosive Coal chuckle.
"We don't have to be near the shield core because when this thing goes off! HAHAHA! It wouldn't take out the core but a good size of these Xenos! Just tell me where to plant it bones!" Vex growled at the nickname but walked over to Coal as he pulled out his Auspex scanner.
"Follow me muscle for brains," The smaller warbeast ordered while following the scanner.
"Ha! You know I call you that because I like you, little brother,"
"You're only older than me because they pulled you out of your vat before me because I was in V-line," Vex hissed.
"Still makes me older than you,"
"Throne. Just get that thing ready already," Vex ordered however as the two bicker, Frost watched the door while Fennec was looking for an escape from this large room.
However, Ram was looking at the strange controls that connected to some alien machinery in the room they were in. Letting go of the healing pad strapped to his face he pressed a button on the machine causing the machinery to hiss.
All in the room snapped to the machine their weapons ready but stopped as a rack was pulled out with a heavy shroud of white steam. Rampage was the first to see what was in the rack as the steam thinned out around it and what he saw caused the hardened warbeast to go wide-eyed.
"Emperor. No,"
-
Frost awoke with a jolt causing him to groan slightly, closing his eyes after they snapped open Frost pushed his head into the softness of the mattress he laid. He didn't know why his mind was reliving the past but it was starting to affect his sleeping cycle if he kept waking up like this.
Actually...
When did he fall asleep last night?
Or better yet.
Where was he, this wasn't his bed.
He tried to rise but was stopped by something holding him and when he did he was pulled back into something soft and warm.
Confused he looked down at what was holding him.
Two long slim arms held him in place but before he could attempt to free himself another set of arms grabbed his head and he felt someone bury their muzzle in his hair fluff.
"Little fluffy frosty~" Bee's tired voice whispered in his ears while he lay there not realizing what had happened the night before.
He couldn't remember all that happened last night but when he recalled what happened on the dance floor he blushed deeply.
...
Thank the emperor he was still wearing pants.
He looked up to see Queen Bee sound asleep while holding the warbeast close.
He didn't know what to do in this situation.
Frost has been trained in hundreds of combat scenarios but nothing could prepare him for this.
So he lay there in the sin of gluttony's embrace, his head pulled against her breasts while the heat of her fur washed over Frost's body. He could hear her heartbeat while they lay on the honey-colored bed.
It was almost hypnotic to the warbeast as he decided to remain like this never having the chance to share a bed with a lady. Finding himself fading again into sleep only this time he felt Bee rise with Frost still in her grasp as she got up.
"Oh, man. What a night," Bee rubbed one of her eyes as she carried Frost like a stuffed toy. "Hella fun party though. That Frost guy was super cute. Wait did we kiss?"
She giggled while walking over to the bathroom while Frost was unsure of how to make himself known to the sin holding him.
"Holy shit! We did! He was so adorable! I hope he had a great time as I did," She turned on the bathroom light as she looked into the mirror finally seeing that she was holding Frost and not her plush.
"I did,"
She went wide-eyed and dropped Frost causing him to hit the cold floor.
"Ow..."
"Shit! Sorry!"
(Later)
Bee and Frost sat in her kitchen seeing that Verosika had left him behind last night.
For... well a reason that never happened but they still ended up both sleeping in the same bed.
Frost held his cup of coffee as Bee was still blushing while leaning on the counter behind her.
"So you think I'm adorable?" Frost asked looking up at Bee after the long stretch of awkward silence.
"You heard that huh?" Bee blushed while sipping from her coffee.
"You were carrying me like a toy,"
"Sorry, I thought you were a pillow. Hm. A very soft pillow at that," Frost blushed as he sipped his coffee. "Sooooo how did you meet Verosika?"
Frost lowered his coffee onto the counter with his blush fading.
"Work recommendation," Frost hummed. "I worked for this Imp named Crimson for a lead regarding my brother. I helped him out and he gave me the information regarding my brother's whereabouts but-"
He shook his head at the memory.
"If I were to take a guess he must have told someone about how I helped him and Verosika caught wind and the next thing I know I'm her security bodyguard," Frost explained tasting the faint sweetness of honey in his coffee.
"Huh..."
This left them back to that god-awful Awkward silence, Bee tapped her mug with her fingers while her lower hands tapped the countertop.
"Did you find him?" Bee asked, Frost lowered his mug from his muzzle. "Your brother?"
Looking at her he gave a low nod.
"I did,"
"And?"
Frost place his mug down turning his attention away from Bee, his hand resting on the tags of his fallen kin.
"He did his best that's all that matters," Frost responded leaving Bee glancing at the warbeast.
For someone who has lived as long as she has, Beelzebub has seen a thing or two regarding people. From Imps to hellhounds, sinners to overlords, Bee has seen every emotion pass by and she hated seeing a certain emotion whenever someone fell into it.
Sorrow.
That's why she throws her famous parties to allow everyone who comes to forget their troubles. Where they can be happy, fed, and amazed all in the span of a few hours not needing to worry about anything else. Seeing her guest before her be in such a state made her want to pull him up into a hug and tell him it was going to be okay.
She knew better though, Frost was an adult, not a child, and doing that wouldn't be right.
Not for either of them anyway, however, she had other ways in mind.
"What was his name?" Beelzebub asked.
"Coal,"
Bee relaxed her wrist that was holding her mug as she asked her next question.
"Can you tell me what he was like?"
"Where do I start?" Frost turned to the chain around his forearm. "He was kind, warm, strong, big hearted, true, but above all loyal,"
"Oh? Sounds like you cared for him," Bee responded.
"I care for all my kin even those-" Frost stopped as his phone rang caused him to pick it up and answered. "Sorry do you mind if I take this,"
"No go ahead," Queen Bee smiled leaving Frost to answer his boss.
"Lady Mayday,' Frost answered causing Bee to snort at how he answered.
"FROST YOU DUMB SEXY DOG YOU!" Frost flinched at Verosika's words blasting into his ears.
"Is everything already Lady Mayday?" Frost asked to which Verosika laughter could be heard.
"Have you not seen the news? You made front pages with your new girlfriend,"
Frost and Bee: "Wait what?!"
"Turn on the news pup!"
Bee grabbed her remote for her TV and turned it on causing both to go wide eyed at what they were seeing.
"In other news: The sin of gluttony Beelzebub has gotten her hands on a new boy toy being a unnamed hellborn hellhound," Frost turned to the screen while a strange humanoid lady and another strange man wearing a gasmask spoke on screen while a picture of Frost wearing part of his gasmask standing on top of Bee's home while carrying Beelzebub who was wearing his helmet with one of her arms was wrapped around his neck while another raised a multicolored drink while the rest were stretched out like crazy.
"I don't remember doing that!" Frost stated pointing to the screen.
"I do," Bee smiled coyly. "You bet you could carry me like a princess while not spilling my drink as you climbed with one hand to the roof! I said you couldn't. But you proved me so wrong!"
"That doesn't seem like me," Frost wondered what he was thinking as the news played
"Could this be that the sin of gluttony has gone so low to now having a lowborn as a fuck toy? Having to seep down to such lengths in order to have a half-decent FUCK? Or is she such a slut for a cosplaying hellhound?"
'First off what the kraking hells is Cosplay? Second what the fuck is this bitch's deal!' Frost thoughts went awhile, and Bee just stared at the screen.
Frost took a second to see her eye twitch slightly as she took a deep breath, turning off the TV she looked at the warbeast who was slightly confused by what he had just seen. Turning to Bee who drank her coffee while not looking at Frost, feeling tension in the air Frost rose from his seat.
"I apologize for the inconvenience Lady Beelzebub," Frost believing he outstayed his welcome and ruined the reputation of a powerful figure stood up from his seat leaving his coffee on the table. "I will remove myself from your path. I understand if you don't wish to see me again but I thank you for the disguise and the eventful night. I had... fun,"
Frost smiled slightly at the strange feeling he hadn't felt in years but shook the smile away, seeing Beezlebub give him a look he couldn't read. As he turned to leave, a hand grasped his wrist, stopping him.
"Don't go," Frost confused looked up at her who looked down at him. "Please?"
Beezlebub towered over Frost who looked up at her the look on her face was replaced with a kind smile.
"Frost, I greatly enjoyed your company last night," Bee stated which caused Frost to smile back. "And I wish to know you a little better,"
She moved slightly to his eye level smile still on her face.
"Would you go out on a date with me?"
Frost blinked at this his mouth slightly agape by her question, it wasn't what she asked, no.
He didn't know what a date was.
-
(Honey Shine Diner)
A hellhound stood behind the check-in at the diner as he was going through a schedule book, as he was marking timelines for upcoming clients he froze upon hearing a familiar tire stretching. Standing upright as the double doors were opened up, the golden retriever-like hellhound felt his ears perk up upon seeing the sin of gluttony.
"Ms. Beezlebub! Glad to see you again! Your usual table miss?" The rep asked to which Beelzebub smiled.
"You know me but add a plus one to that if you would," Bee stated.
"A plus one?" The rep looked to see another hellhound, however, his jaw nearly dropped upon seeing the same canine armored from the news. Who, was now in a completely different set of clothing and had had the sin of gluttony's hand on his shoulder and her lower arm pulling him close to her. "I-I see I'll have it set up right away,"
"Thanks Goldie!" The rep looked to the blue-eyed hellhound who was wide-eyed as if he had no idea what was going on.
The two or rather Bee pulled the canine with her to her booth as many eyes were now on her and him but the sin didn't care rather smiled brightly with her usual bright personality. Sitting down at the booth Bee looked at Frost with her warm smile while Frost smiled back although a bit nervous. This all felt a little sudden but he could feel a genuine interest coming from Bee wanting to spend time with him for some reason.
It was nice, hell, he didn't even mind all the eyes on them.
Although...
He did feel naked without his armor.
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Why is it that when I'm up at night I get the urge to write this?
Weird, well a VERY late update to one of my more popular stories even though a robe block. I had been slowly working my way at this since June but I was sorta waiting for more episodes to work with as to have the plot of this story to mash up with the Helluva boss plot before breaking off into it's own direction.
Sorry if that seemed weird but I'm a perfectionist by nature when it comes to storylines and timelines.
I think this is one of the last few chapters left before the helluva boss timeline starts to happen.
Now I think some of you might think Frost's and Bee's relationship might be a bit rushed, maybe but they're not a thing... well maybe they are. But they're on a first date right now and Bee to me feels like one of those girls who barely taps the breaks if you catch my drift.
Now then another chapter soon and it will be (or should be) when the helluva boss story starts.
Till then.
(Before I forget to that one guy, you know who you are, a part where frost sings? Bro, I don't think I can find a song that fits his personality)
