Sinsmas coming up.

Wonderful day of the year!

For at least the Hellborns.

You be surprised like Royals; sinners don't know such event or just copying something they heard from Earth. It was insulting but hey who cares!

This is for them!

But.

Just like any holidays it can sometimes the bring the mood down so to say.

Moxxie, Striker for instance.

When they were younger it was a blast. Would get together. Be a family. Have fun crazy, wild events. Lots of fighting, breaking and just going nuts. Bring out the Wrath from them. Striker couldn't rough play as rough with Moxxie but the pair would still be menaces to the town. Would fondly bring back memories for time to time.

While they both enjoy it yet lately it wasn't the most celebrated lately for many reasons.

Moxxie case after that encounter with Grillo, able to pick up further memories what their younger mind could remember. They remember Sinsmas with Reyna. It was nice. So, happy as their little family. It was taken away. It also made them feel sad but knew they shouldn't be. Still had their family they got to celebrate it with. But that year it wasn't the best for their head with everything combined even if it gotten better. Just be with Maria, Ivy and Striker at the time before they headed to space for a while.

Striker it was way longer over the years. One he does enjoy it but also missed his mother. Fond memories and ones that wouldn't continue again with her. The times he lost with her along with Moxxie, Maria they spend time with them. Plus, with his time under Grillo. He wants to scrub those memories away as they were good but also mocking in a sense. Then the time he finally spends it again to reveal he wasn't dead and was with doing it with Mari girlfriend home. It was different. It was something to get use too.

WHELP!

It's a month away. This year will not be mopey! No, trouble. No, setting building on fire unless under insurance. Plus, hey got a destination point it will happen at after everyone done with working. Where?

Yes, Stolas mansion.

The prince who in house arrest offered to do it. Not having an idea what it even was too. The Goetia never heard of Sinsmas same with Octavia. Apparently not many do. Loona was over at the talking to Octavia as it slipped in the conversation. Next, thing everyone knowns Stolas wants to host it and invite IMP over. Can invite their own family, friends to come over. Really, many think he is doing it for his daughter. Which is fine and did seem thrilling, if strange, holiday celebration.

Got to stay commented.

Yet, the owl had a teeny tiny problem with others piling up.

He will not be getting help setting up when it arrives from the servants. It was one of the days in the years they have off and it can't be reverse. That's for all servants who work for any Royals. Honestly it didn't seem to click that all the Royal Goetia do that but never question why. Some rule the sins put in a while back. Can't break it. Never bothered to asked.

It clicks for Stolas.

The look on his face was worth it to Striker. It made the snake smug he watches and listen at his post outside. Then sour of the idea coming up. The twitchy to learn they will invite many others. Fine do their thing. But were going to invite him and Moxxie.  After a small calm down Striker, Moxxie talk about. They'll see how this turns out and later they'll leave. Will go spend time together with Bombproof and spend the night at Maria. While Maria will stay with Ivy that night.

Yes, already planning in advanced.

Striker grumbled as they held Moxxie close. Twitch seeing them text in a small group chat. It was getting numbers for seeing who will come over. Along with other things on the list. "Blitzy must be loving this."

"He about to pull his horns out since he offering to help."

Now why Blitz never told Stolas about Sinsmas last year. Really, they were busy during the time with IMP and just sex. Stolas at least seem to learn to not asked Moxxie why they never said anything about Sinsmas.

The response of course would have been you never asked.

"Do we have to bring something?" Look at the message of gifts being under $100. Not bothered to bring out his own phone.

"Unless you want a gift."

"Aww not putting a gift as a couple?"

"I'm being greedy."

"Fine I'll think of something."

One of the fun ideas everyone got to bring one gift. Price range already decided. Will be accounted for and number pull. You keep the gift. It wasn't a bad idea and everyone gets something. The only annoying part was telling Stolas the highest will be 100 not 1000!

Moxxie eyes glance up as Striker just staring at the tv. Not paying attention but deep in that thought. Glance at their arms wrapped around them tightly. Tense up. On the edge.

Can guess a few reasons why.

One of it being thinking they truly were dead.

Stuck longer staying at Stolas home and extra alert. The only magic sealing around is the one keeping Stolas in. Anyone else can still enter. Honestly why no magic seals were set up is beyond Striker understanding. How was he able to get away for a break and be with Moxxie?

A Blaster was left behind as a guard dog.

"Rattles."

Glance at them to show he is listening.

"Take your coat off."

Raise an eyebrow and let out a whistle. "Coat only? I mean I have no problem if you want the layers on for attention."

"No, you're getting the attention. Jacket off and lay on your stomach on the ground."

"Huh?"

Soon Striker laying on the ground on his stomach with his coat off. Turn their head too see them removing their own coat.

"Critter have you ever done this before?"

"I crack my bones."

"How about crack other bones?"

Mind flash back to breaking, tearing off bones and stabbing. Lots of bones breaking either it theirs or others. "Yep! Plus, you showed me those videos and I still remember how you had your hands on me."

I mean he did show him and the time to use a mirror. If Moxxie remember not that he was any better. After getting them a euphoric high off their back cracks. It's not either complain afterwards and the extra stretch cracks.

"Your tense and need tension off. It's been a lot for you lately."

He really does have disgusting sweet partner who cares for him. How he got so lucky is beyond him. Or allowing others to live to witness this and try to take them.

Never going to happen.

"Plus, you said I owe you for a back crack after I went to rough when I bend- "Mouth covered by the spade of the snake tail.

"I sometimes forget your mouth can be so blunt and honest their no trigger warning." Glad his face down to not see his bright flushed face. Eyes widen as their tail pulled back. "Did you lick my tail you brat?"

"Yep."

"Yuck."

"You were lick by worse things than this." Mouth open to stick their tongue's' out. Then pulled right in.

Still catches Striker off guard they can do that. Along with not denying it either.

"Head straight ahead." Point forward as they get in position. Kneel down while not putting much weight to sit on him, "Deep breath."

Close his eyes as he takes in a deep breath. Felt the position where those hands are at on him.

"Relax. Relax."

Body relaxes.

"Let it out slowly."

Then slowly breathe out as he feels him push forward.

CRACK!

CRACK!

CRACK!

POP!

POP!

CRACK!

"Ahhh," Striker lets out a groan with a pleased his as those hands just did it work. Got even in a tight area that were driving him mad. One moment felt bones crack. He missed this very much. It been a while he had a very good back crack. What this they are doing? Another groan slipped past his mouth with a moan mixing in. Now receiving a well-deserved massage. This is really great. Tempt to asked if Moxxie could open a portal to a lava spring and relax. "You've mm mm holding back."

"I got to have a few things up my sleeves." Palms pressed into the back. Would indeed have been better without the shirt. Honestly, they like when he wears them to see their muscles covered up. How they could easily tear this off to see this rest of this strong hybrid. No, instead just admire the work and let Striker be spoiled. Press down to get a muscle loose.

"Ahhhh yess right there."

"Here?"

"Yes." Droopy eyes with a sluggish expression. "Yes, yes gah! You owe me many of these."

"I guess could put you in my busy schedule."

"You bet-ohh-better."

"If I must." A light tease to their voice.  It's crazy how much of them has open up like this over the years. To be a lot of things and know about themselves in way they never expected. It was so normal in a way.

"Right there. Yes, mhhh," Eyes began to shut as they just take in every last moment of this attention. Their fantasy idea really tempting but didn't want to leave. Stay right here and close to their Critter.  Yes, their Critter who they "Love you."

Eyes snap open what he just said out loud halfway thought his thoughts.

Shit.

Shit.

Shit.

Shit!

Shit!

Maybe he didn't say that loud. Yeah, that's it. Maybe they stop massaging them because they go distracted or a fleeting thought. Turn their head to look up with their eye wide. It got wider at the one face from above.

Eyes stare down very wide at them. It literally knocks the wind, magic, off them to see their tear marks.

Shit he did hear. Felt slightly panic. Okay how the fuck they handle this? Should they handle this? Risk it? Fuck! Wasn't even sure of a time or place to say such a sentence out loud! Well, got to risk it and hope to not look like a fool. A hot fool but a fool Moxxie knows for way too long. "Critter I."

Lean down to snatch their mouth to be pressed against their own. Not letting Striker go but feel as much emotion poured into that it may have overwhelmed the physical part.  It made the hitman one enjoys the kiss but like they could feel it. How the kiss was different.

The imp pulls away from the kiss and nuzzle their face against the other. Then move back slightly to see their face.

Vulnerable. A different kind of vulnerable compared to the other times. A vulnerability that even hard for Striker to drop. This trust for them to see it. Be weak to them. It was a lot to take in for Striker as if they were seeing a lot of Critter. It made them feel a bit speechless. Another side they need to not let go and that he in it now.

Can't lose it.

Mix match eyes full of some many emotions and so real. A smile form that made their whole face light up, welcoming and felt like this shouldn't be coming of a hellborn. A genuine warmth. That this is all Moxxie showing this to Striker. It looks and feels beautifully authentic that it shouldn't exist in this hellhole. Word slipped past their own mouth that they could have kept close but took the chance. Move forward as they do want this and every part of the relationship. Not stopping.  "Love you too."

Wrap his arms around the smaller body. Pull them down against their own to be touching the other. Mouth found the other in kiss them again with such passion, want and emotions. Didn't care about anything else but this treasure in their arm. Didn't care if they miss the rest of the job today. Going to stay like this and nothing shall interrupt them.

SQUEAK!

SQUEAK!

SQUEAK!

SQUEAK!

SQUEAK!

You have got to be kidding!

Both their head tuns. Curtains open to see a set of many rat eyes looking at them from the window. Just hissing and judging them. Yes, yes, we get it you two are lovey dovey. Now open the window and let us kill you!

"Where the hand grenade?"

"Flash, smoke, electricity or bomb?"

"I'll take it all."

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Done!

Sooooooo, what you think?

Yes, they said it! Believe me it's been in my mind when they would say it. Not a line the two would always throw out crazily since they show it other ways. Did want it to be unexpected and it was.

I still kept the vibe Stolas and really anyone that a Royal Goetia or just 'rich' of that standard, didn't know about Sinsmas. Same with sinners unless hear about it, Ivy case or don't care to much since they barely following time. Yes, a rule that all servants that if they do go to work for Royals. Automatically off that day. Many try to figure out why and fix it but just stop at some point.

RATS!

Any questions?

Until next time.

Bye, bye!
