Domestic Energy Vampires

by UberNerd121

Moving this out of the crossover section to reach more readers! Collection of short stories centered around a couple of background characters as they strive for their own happily ever after. (Mostly domestic fluff.) Includes elements from another Disney cartoon and a handful of original characters. Not in chronological order, but you can find a detailed timeline on my profile.

49. New

He surrounded her, pressing into her with a comfortable, lazy weight as her processors began to come online. He was awake ‒ she could tell that much by the pace of the nearly-silent clicking and humming within his metal. He seemed to have wrapped himself around her for comfort's sake. Her head was tucked completely against his chest, the blue at the base of his neck just barely visible. His hands rested on her back, fingers slowly rubbing against her metal as he felt her come out of sleep mode.

She didn't know how to properly express how she felt. A smile seemed too little, it wasn't enough when this was so new, when she wasn't quite used to waking up with him, her husband, in their house, their own house, safe on Earth. She wrapped one of her arms around his back so her hand was on his shoulder.

"Good morning, my love," he whispered. His accent dripped, cool and soothing, through her processors.

Groggy and gushing, Two responded by nuzzling her visor into his shoulder and pressing a kiss to the seam where blue met red at the base of his neck. Nos sucked a shuddering breath into his ventilation system... that was different. He drew closer around her, his palms pressing into her back.

"Do... do that again?" his voice rumbled so close to her audio receptors.

She couldn't help a little laugh. This was new, too, wielding some power over the Energy Vampire. She let her visor graze over his metal again before starting another arc of blue-white static against his neck, making this one last longer. He shivered around her and held her tighter.

"Good morning to you, too, Nos," she purred.

He flexed his shoulders a little, lifting her higher and pulling his head back so they could look at each other. The amber glow of his optics filled her with warmth, made her mind work more sluggishly, driving her fingers to trail over the sensitive spot on his neck. His lid dropped lower over his expressive lense as he leaned his head forward to press his lips right between her eyeforms. She could feel the shape of his smile.

Would she ever grow used to this? Would she ever really be able to fathom how much she loved him? Pondering failed her, so she kissed him again, holding him close, sinking into hours of getting to cherish him in private, just as she had yesterday morning, and just as she would tomorrow.
