Hi there!
Welp…
A few months ago, the idea of me writing a story like this one was as strange as the idea of discovering Elvis on Mars.
I didn`t ship Sulley and Randall back then, and even when I did start doing it the idea of the two of them having sex was still something I didn`t allow to enter my mind. They`re characters from my childhood, after all.
However, things changed. I read some fanfics and roleplays about it, and the idea has grown on me ever since. I don`t know if that`s good or bad, honestly.
While I was working on my main fanfic, The Runner-Up, some of my readers asked me if I could add a sex-scene. However, I wasn`t comfortable with it back then, and I felt it wouldn`t fit with the rest of the story either.
It`s partly because of that I`ve written this thing here - this goes out to all of those who wanted it back then, but never got it; and to everyone else who could possibly be interested.
I`ve tried to add a plot in here, too.
Enjoy! x)
Before the story starts, there are some people I`d like to thank.
My tumblr-friends nerdgirllizzy, blue-with-purple-polka-dots, percy-boleslaw and girlinluvanime, who kindly offered me their ideas when I was stuck at some point while working on this story. I really appreciate it, guys! I liked all of your ideas, so I`ve written something loosely based on all your suggestions. I think it works:)
Also, I have to mention BadgerWolf and S.C.R.E.A.M.I.N.G.M.A.N.T.I.S! They have both been so supportive towards this story, and to my writing in general:) I suppose I don`t have to say that I love chatting with you guys ^^
That`s enough from me, here`s the first part of the story!
Reconciliation
Part One
- 9.15 pm -
"Wanna talk about it now..?"
Sulley closed the apartment door. His blue and purple fur had gotten all dripping wet from the rain outside, but he couldn`t care less about it; the tormented look on his face was caused by something completely different, and as he entered the living room (with steps that were surprisingly quiet for a monster of his size) his movements expressed a high level of insecurity;
"I feel real terrible…"
"Yeah - me too…"
Randall sat in one of the corners of the couch. His face looked tired, and he had himself all wrapped up in a big blanket that nearly covered all of him. The only part sticking out besides his head was an arm holding a teacup, which he placed carefully on the table as the other monster approached;
"…feeling calmer now..?"
"Yeah…a bit of fresh air helped…"
The blue one pulled a sad smile as he brushed some wet fur away from his eyes, avoiding Randall`s emerald ones as he did. A bit of fresh air. He had been gone for a good two hours.
Silence then fell between the two and occupied the living room. Randall wrapped the blanket even tighter around himself, letting out a tired sigh as he did, and Sulley simply stood foot, scratching the back of his head, trying to come up with something reasonable to say.
"Have you taken pain-killers..?" he said eventually, gesturing towards the jar next to the teacup on the table.
"My head…"
"You need to wear your glasses, Randall..! I`ve told you a million times, and -"
"Don`t start again, please…"
"I`m sorry, I wasn`t going to…"
The furry monster cleared his throat as he sat himself down next to the scaly one on the couch, noticing how Randall cringed as wet fur met expensive furniture. He was about to get off again straight away as a result of the reaction, but was kept from doing so as his partner pulled him back down and placed the free end of the warm blanket over his wet knees;
"It`s okay…"
He smiled. It wasn`t exactly the happiest smile Sulley had seen, but it was a smile all the same. He returned it as he pulled the blanket a bit further up;
"So…wanna talk..?"
"Not really…I`m tired. And I know you didn`t mean it; you never do. And neither do I…"
"I know, Randall…" Sulley moved himself a few inches closer so he could put his arm around the slender, purple figure;
"I know…and I`m sorry…"
"I`m sorry too…" Helped by the weight of Sulley`s arm, Randall leaned himself against the other. He closed his eyes, sighed – a bit less tiredly this time - and rested his head on the furry, yet wet chest;
"I didn`t mean any of it, James..!"
- 6.45 pm -
Randall glared at Sulley as they stepped out of Rex`s room together, where the purple one`s three-year-old adopted son had just been tucked in for the night;
"What was that all about, James..?" He kicked a couple of building-blocks out of his way, and didn`t even have the patience to wait for his boyfriend to answer;
"That look you gave me in there..? What`s with that?"
The all too familiar signs in Randall`s behaviour and body-language showed off his mood pretty clearly, and Sulley decided to be a bit cautious with his reply;
"I just…tried to tell you that I don`t think it`s a good idea to say those things around Rex..! That`s all..!"
"What things?"
"You know…the way you talked about Mike..!"
"Oh, so this is about Wazowski..?"
Randall picked up some toys from the floor and placed them on a chair. Then he walked over to the kitchen, started unloading the dishwasher, and mumbled quietly behind a deep frown;
"What a surprise…"
"What?"
Sulley walked up to him and picked a couple of glasses out from the machine, scowling slightly;
"What did you say, Randall?"
"Nothing, it`s just…" A big pile of plates was put away in a cupboard, and Randall closed the door a little harder than he intended to;
"…you`re spending an awful amount of time with Wazowski..! I – oh, for crying out loud, James..!"
Randall snapped as his boyfriend accidentally dropped one of the glasses on the floor while trying to put them back in their right spot;
"I`ve told you to be careful so many times, don`t you ever listen to me?"
"I`m not spending that much time with Mike..!" Sulley put the glass that was still whole on the counter and continued talking, even though Randall turned his back on him in order to fish a broom and dustpan out from underneath the sink;
"Mike`s my flat-mate, but I`ve hardly hung out with him since you and I became a thing..!"
"You see him all the time…"
"Not all the time, but he`s my best friend, so I of course I want to spend some time with him!"
"Oh, really..? He`s your best friend..?"
Randall stopped sweeping up shattered glass and glared at the other monster;
"…may I ask what that makes me..?"
"You`re my boyfriend, Randall – those are two different things!"
"To me it`s not!"
"Well, that`s because you – umm…"
"That`s because I what?"
Sulley bit his lip. He realized he was starting to move on thin ice now;
"Well…you don`t really let others in on you…"
"Are you saying I don`t have any friends?"
"That`s not what I meant, but…" He moved his weight from one leg to another, not at all comfortable with the direction this conversation had taken;
"You`re only hanging out with me, Randall..! Me and Rex..!"
Randall went back to sweeping up glass, tossed the bits and pieces in the garbage after finishing, and mumbled angrily as he left the room;
"Be more careful the next time you decide to help me clean up the kitchen…"
Sulley gave him a couple of minutes before following him into the living room. He found the lizard on the couch, looking through a magazine, and sat himself down in the opposite corner, determined to get what he had to say off his chest once and for all;
"Randall, whatever your personal thoughts are of Mike, I don`t want you talking about him like that in front of Rex..!"
"Why the hell not..?"
The sharp tone caused Sulley to think twice before answering, but he figured it would probably be better to see the whole conversation through now that they had started it;
"Because…he`s only three, and he picks up everything we say! So when you`re saying that Mike`s a stupid beach-ball, you`re basically telling Rex that it`s okay to talk about others like that..! Do you want him to believe that?"
"I`m his dad, James..!"
"I`m a part of his life too, remember..! Don`t you think it can be good to hear someone else`s opinion once in a while?"
Upon hearing that last sentence, Randall closed the magazine and glared at the other monster;
"Are you telling me I`m incapable of taking care of my son?"
If Sulley had been on thin ice earlier, he was now heading out in more or less open water;
"No!" he raised his hands in defence;
"No, I`m – you`re great at it, but -"
"Why the hell is there a "but", there shouldn`t be a "but"!"
"I`m just trying to give you a piece of advice here, Randall..! You know, others are normally happy to receive advice!"
"Oh, I bet Wazowski loves it when you give him advice..!"
Randall mumbled ironically as he put the magazine up in front of his face again, only to have it torn away by Sulley seconds later;
"Randall, that`s enough!"
- 9.30 pm -
"Here, you`re gonna catch a cold…"
Randall wrapped a part of the blanket around Sulley`s shoulders and moved himself even closer, until he was practically sitting in the blue one`s lap; he would never say it out loud, but that was his favourite place to sit. Sulley probably had it figured out though, since Randall would normally slither onto him like this whenever they had some time to themselves, but he knew Randall (and most importantly, his pride) and never brought it up.
Instead he placed his arm even tighter around him and stroked his back carefully as he planted a gentle kiss on his forehead;
"I really am sorry, Randall…"
The lizard leaned his head against the other`s neck and enjoyed the feeling of fur against his scales; when sitting like this in James` lap, being kissed and caressed, Randall couldn`t even remember why he had been so angry with him in the first place. He closed his eyes as his boyfriend kissed his head again, before pulling himself up in a position that allowed him to connect his eyes with Sulley`s clear, blue ones;
"I`m sorry too…"
He ran one of his hands down the other`s cheek and moaned quietly as their tongues met, using his other three hands to pull James as close as possible. His fur was still quite wet, but the blanket kept them both warm. And so did their current actions.
"Wanna move..?" Sulley moved his head backwards, removing his lips from Randall`s, smiling shyly while running a hand through his fronds;
"I`d hate it if Rex caught us..!"
"Caught us doing what? He`s seen us kiss before..!" Randall gave his boyfriend a teasing smile, pretending he didn`t understand his intentions.
Sulley coughed;
"Yeah, I…I…" Another cough followed, as did a rather goofy smile;
"I`m sorry Randall, I just thought you were…umm you know…getting in the mood too…"
"Maybe I am…" Randall finally admitted, still with a teasing grin;
"…and I would hate it even more if he caught us, you have no idea. We`ll definitely move – the kitchen`s a much better idea, right..?"
It took a moment for Sulley to realise that Randall was joking, but when he finally did, he chuckled softly. He loved it when his boyfriend was in this kind of mood.
End of part one.
Part two will follow in a few days, I hope you like it so far:)
