"Come on guys, we gotta get the hell out of here!" Blade yelled, ushering his friends out of the door to the old hotel they've called home for decades.

Jester, Pinhead, Miss Leech, and the rest hurried past their leader through a broken window that led outside. The fire alarm was going off and smoke filled the atmosphere, causing panic within their tiny puppet community. Blade didn't have time to investigate where the source was as his greatest concern was to get his comrades to safety.

Once he thought everyone had made it out, he followed suit, eager to do roll call.

There was just one problem that Blade would soon figure out...

And that was the problem of the two puppets that stayed behind while the rest stood outside, oblivious to the cause of this sudden scare.

~~~~~~~~~~~

"Were not going," Torch stated, taking ahold of his mate's arm.

"What do you mean?" Tunneler asked, annoyed by the way Torch grabbed onto him.

"I mean't, were staying behind while those simpletons cower into the outside world over a little smoke," The metal puppet said, rolling his yellow pupils. "I started a small fire and let it burn until the smoke alarms detected it. I wanted to get everyone out of the hotel."

This revelation made by Torch shocked Tunneler but not by much. He knew Torch was an asshole but he didn't know he could be so dumb.

"What!? What the hell is wrong with you Torch!? What would have happened if the fire spread and it became too late for us to escape!?" Tunneler shouted, clenching his fists.

The soldier could not believe he was still dating this brainless metal-headed puppet with anger issues.

Torch shrugged, unfazed by his partner's tone.

"If you hadn't noticed, fire is my specialty. I know how to control it. But if that HAD happened-," Torch trailed off a bit in thought. "Uh, I don't know. Oh well," he shrugged again, dismissing how disgusted Tunneler looked with him.

He was used to this reaction.

"Why would you do something like this, Torch?" Tunneler questioned, taking a deep breath to calm himself down. He was at his wit's end with his boyfriend.

Torch looked down for a moment before slowly looking back up to meet Tunneler's gaze again. He didn't want to sound lame or even weak with emotions but he had to be open with Tunneler, seeing as how he actually cared about him.

"It's for you," He replied in a low voice. "I wanted everyone out so that they would stop bothering you and I could have you all to myself for once."

Tunneler's eyes widened and his lips parted. His heart began hammering in his chest and the drill puppet couldn't keep his cheeks from burning a deep crimson red. The German soldier was in total awe over his hothead partner's words, he almost felt bad for getting so mad at him.

"F-For me?" Tunneler squeaked, placing his palm against his chest in a flattered manner. "You could have just asked, you know?" Tunneler gave Torch a tiny smirk, kind of liking his possessive attitude.

"What's the fun in that?" Torch muttered, stepping up to Tunneler and putting his arms around the more petite puppet's frame. "Someone's always needing you for something, it's about time I needed you."

The pitch black eyes of the soldier seemed to spark with colors, truly admiring his partner for once.

"Well," Tunneler began, biting his lower lip flirtatiously. "Here I am. You have me all to yourself now. Until Blade comes to look for us."

Excitement filled the Pyro's red eyes and they flashed, thinking ahead of what he wanted to do to the puppet in uniform that was all his.

Without another moment of hesitation, Torch snatched up his lover with one swift movement, carrying him bridal style to the nearest hotel room.

Torch always made the joke that where they lived was technically "Sex City" because it was an enormous hotel with endless upon endless bedrooms.

"Ohhh Torch...," Tunneler sighed, his eyelids drooping. Arousal began to engulf his body with the anxiety of what this bullet-toothed puppet had in store for him. "I am so excited, I can hardly wait."

The fireball doll only chuckled as he kicked the door open in front of him hard, disappearing inside and kicking it back shut behind him.

~~~~~~~~

Tunneler's screams filled the hotel along with Torch's grunts and moans. Torch used such blunt force during his mating that he was actually causing the headboard to pound mercilessly against the drywall, making dents into it.

The other puppets that stood outside could hear the muffled cries and they were worried and concerned for their friends still "trapped" inside the hotel.

Blade had already taken off inside to look for them, calling their names, desperately trying to get their attention. The hook-handed killer doll was not only confused as to how the smoke was gone, but where the source of that screaming came from. It sounded like a woman in despair along with a male, so he figured Tunneler and Torch had found some intruders and taken them as prey.

"Tunneler, Torch!" Blade yelled, running through the area he thought he heard the screams. "Make a noise, any noise! Where are you guys!?"

The skull-faced puppet was almost out of breath by the time he heard giggling inside one of the bedrooms, confusion plastered on his expression once more.

Without warning, he pushed the door open with his knife hand. Unfortunately, he was too short to see anything on the bed so he began his climb up the comforter. What he saw next would scar him for the rest of his eternal life.

The two love doves lay together completely naked on top of the bed, Torch still partly covering Tunneler's body. They were exchanging afterglow kisses and snickering sweet nothings to one another, Tunneler's leg draped lazily around Torch's hip.

"GUYS!" Blade shouted, causing both of them to jump out of their skin and separate. Tunneler quickly pulled some cover up to himself as a censor, his chest heaving since he got spooked.

The flamethrower puppet, however, didn't care that Blade was seeing him unclothed, since he was in the wrong for surprising them.

"You scared the shit out of us, man!" Torch growled, his body making machinery-type noises due to his startled nerves.

"Can't it, Torch!" Blade snarled. "What the hell are two doing!? We had a fire drill! You guys can't just sit back and decide to fuck when the hotel could have been burning to the ground!" Blade continued after a second's pause. "Have you lost your senses!? I expected different from you, Tunneler!"

Tunneler scrunched up in a bit of shame, not feeling like the normal, loyal solider he normally was.

Blade putting his already self-conflicted sweetheart down like that pissed Torch off even more and the temperamental Hard-shelled puppet spoke through clenched teeth to his leader.

"We'll. Be out. In a moment. Blade. Keep your fucking panties on," Torch grumbled darkly.

The white-haired puppet glared literal daggers at Torch, both of his eyehole knives popping out when he felt threatened.

"You're on thin ice already, Torch. It's my duty to keep you all safe! Get dressed and get your asses out here on the double!" Blade hissed, hopping off the bed and feeling dirty.

As soon as he was out the door, Torch touched Tunneler's shoulder, asking him if he was okay.

"I'm fine," Tunneler sighed, lowering the blanket off of himself.

In the midst of them getting dressed, Tunneler couldn't help but smile and look at Torch before they walked out of the room.

"You know, when Blade said there was a fire drill, I laughed internally to myself," he smirked, giving Torch the "the eyes".

"Oh? Why's that?" Torch inquired, looking genuinely interested in what Tunneler had to say.

"Because," Tunneler walked up to Torch, running a hand down his chest. "There really was a fire drill. You and I made one BIG 'fire-drill'..." Tunneler smiled more, hoping Torch would get it.

Luckily Torch did because he actually started to laugh and took ahold of Tunneler's waist in amusement.

"Wow, you can be really dirty when you want to be," Torch wheezed, placing his forehead against Tunneler's.

Tunneler made a breathy "hmmph" in reply, the smile still sitting on his lips.

"Can that be our couple name?" Tunneler asked as they walked out of the bedroom toward the front where everyone was awaiting for them with angry faces.

Torch just laughed before shaking his bulbous head.

"Whatever you want, babe. Whatever you want."
