This one will be a long fic with a lot of chapters, I already write the concepts. Since I don't play as Nora in Fallout 4 because Nate for me is the real protagonist the personalities and ideas are pretty fanbased from another fanfics I read
If you are very very very delighted with one fic and want a continuation I didn't write or post you can donate me at least $5 bucks, most of this fics have next chapters I don't finish because lack of motivation but hey a $5 is a $5, I see a few reviews and coments that fics that are abandoned months laters receive coments of wanting to know what happends next. Here it is, I finished my handling with you all, enjoy the fic
Nora was now walking in crutches all around the Prydwen, healing little by little, going to the gym to get adapted but by everyones surprises…Arthur often walked along her, not only to watch her steps or catch her waist if she falls but because he wanted to be at her side, wanted to be and talk to her, he was showing his affection to her in public so free and couldn't care less…she did care for him and his reputation but if he said that everything was under control…
-You are the only sentinel in this chapter and the one that destroyed the institute and fight many Deathclaws by bare hand, what better match for the elder? –he stated the time she approached the subject.
-Someone will say that im more valuable in the battlefield than in your bed
-Nonsense, im the elder, if im good the brotherhood is doing good, anyone saying that clearly has never share bed with you –at seeing her laugh he went all serious suddenly- of course I prefer it that way
-Relax, no one is going to know I fuck you too good…although you seem more relaxed I must say…less rigid…-Arthur doesn't agree, he still have his authoritarian temple.
-If we are seen together no one is going to dare to bother you at a reunion –Nora agreed, that was a benefit –no one would try to steal the elders woman
-The elders woman? –she asked challenging him by stopping her walk and oblige him to look at her eyes, Nora bited her lip seeing his throat slurp saliva down on nerviosism –do you want people to see me like that? –he blushed, looking to another side nervous he dammed this man fallen in love words like there was no consequences sometimes- gosh I want you to take me by the waist and kiss me…but that's too much for today right? Not right here? –she laughted and went on walking again.
The image cross his mind and again slurped saliva out of words. God he wanted to. But it was to soon and they would be going fast by doing that so better don't, maybe behind the doors in a while. Or in the next door were nobody is inside but them.
Expending time in public with another soldier so much was…certainly odd to see, even when he was Danse friend and everybody knew about it the elder walking in public with him that much? Not a chance, the elder usually is working at the command deck. But now there he is, fraternizing with the sentinel with injured legs in the gym, that was getting into the soldiers attention, specially the males.
Some will defend the elders honor, stating that even on how it look like he was…still working. Others will say that there was a visible chemistry. Gentlemens will says that its nobody business to talk about the two most powerfull people on the zeppelin and the pleasants…uh they will say that Arthur was a completely henpeck but most of them will agree that the man was completely under her control, totally enconchado. That he falled hard for the prewar woman, killer of Deathclaws and destroyer of the Institute. It was a good catch no one is gonna lie but seeing him so…reduced to be the woman accessory…feeled wrong, their all capable and strong elder so sticky to her boots…
She must spell him, what if she was taking advantage of controlling him? That cant be right, but all that rumours silenced at seeing Arthur start to help her in the gym, carring her, adjusting her machines and holding her crutches…even giving her water! Like a servant! If he is not spelled then how? Soldiers refused to believe he became a total enconchado but…
The proof was as visible as the elder taking her to her visits in the nursery.
Of course everybody acknowledge her habilities and achievements but the elder was now setting a different way of behaving that the men of the brotherhood only reserved on the intimacy with their partners…they could be caring and loving with women, of course they weren't brutes but in public they wont show that level of fraternization for decorum…and Arthur was clearly ignoring that, a lot, he had it burry deep in his mind before and now with the sentinel around he was a loving child with no shame or boundaries.
Never catched them kissing by the way, things like Elder Maxson is currently an enconchado were rumours and just rumours, there was never a confirmation or a gossip about them kissing or holding hands in public, like no confirmations at all that they were together but clearly both are eating the other with the gaze, at least that…and the closeness, fraternization, familiarity...
Arthur picked her by the armpits and put her in the floor from the walking machine since bending the knees was hurtfull and he was worried she would fall to the ground and hit but damn that was noticeable for everyone, jaw dropped when they see the elder do that. And both were just smiling to each other.
It was dinner time and as always the picky eater woman make him so nervous and anxious.
-Why? Why would you do that? –both were eating in his cuarters, despite she arriving there was quite obvious because of her condition and inhability to stealth…she was the sentinel, she had more reasons than anyone on the damn ship to have a meeting, suspicious or not he was worrying too much, they earned all the right in the world to interact with each other all they wanted.
-You are eating a radiated salad why cant I eat my pink food paste in peace
-It looks awful even for me
-Oh you don't want to know where did I get this boxes…
-There's more where that came from? Nononononon, spit that down, your obsession with prewar food has to end
-No way! Finish your rad salad and leave me alone –jeez Arthur was insufferable, unless they were eating prewar food or fresh consumables together they can't share a table, he would always criticizes her meals- anyway I wanted to talk you about something –Arthur raised an eyebrow, drinking a cup of water- do you realize that people is spreading rumors right?
-Yes –now Nora was confused
-And why aren't you mad?
-I told you: I realized I don't care –welp she was worried now.
-But your reputation! You worked so hard! You cant allow them to call you a henpeck, it's a terrible lack of respect
-I had a lot of time to reflect some things –Nora put down her spoon, to make him feel like she cared-we should spend as much time as possible together inside the safest place in all the Commonwealth, use the opportunity that no many has, and that includes that I will not let anything get in the middle between us, I loose to much time already
Shit he was seriously traumatized.
-Arthur I didn't mean getting injured like that, I always hate getting in trouble and im not an expert going out of them
-Of course not, life is fragile in the outsides of the zeppelin that's why I think we should do the most we can out of it, I rooted and believed in you waking up of course, not doubted about it a second but if that become the case…I would regret loosing so much time with you because I was too busy worrying about appearances and consequences –the woman cheeks blushed looking down with an small smile, at noticing this the elder smiled, moving his fork in the rad salad- besides if people realize you are important to me more are going to take care of you to not get the elder angry
-You cant always save everyone
-Ill be dammed it something happens to you, so ill try everything I have –she cant say anything, since she proved not be indestructible.
This was a good time for any of them to say I love you, but no one did.
-Still, it annoys me to hear them talk that way about you –she mumble low.
-And what are you going to do about it? My idea was letting it pass until it wasn't news anymore
-Im on the edge of beating the next jackass I hear
-Please no fights at my ship, theres not barfights because everyone knows that's two weeks in the coldest prision of the airport and im not going to back up even for you –Nora was actually surprised to hear that but all right- its sweet that you want to back up for me tho
-Of course –she said coming back to her pink paste, disgusting Arthur
The fact that she was willing to defend his image make him extremely happy.
Both expend the night together, sleeping naked in each other arms, the man loved to stretch her before because he can smell the nice perfume on her hair but now she had a bandage with alcohol and medicine were his nose would rest, so he was the one sleeping on her chest hugging completely calm, hearing her heart beat to reassure that she was okay and by his side.
But out of nothing in the middle of the night he would be knocked to a side and the next thing he sees at opening his eyes is Nora in the ground repetly stabbing with a combat knife a mole rat, a really big one.
-What the hell!? -he asked, looking down worried inspecting her arms and legs looking for scratches, this animals spread diseases by wounds
-Its one of Nereas experiments, there's an infestation in the ship! –said Nora giving a last stab on the creature stomach –I noticed it watching and killed it before it bite us, don't want to get sick by this motherfucker
-Of course not –he said trying to calm down his chest a bit, it all happened so quick and fast he was barely awake- go to wash yourself before the blood dries and gets to difficult to remove, ill put the body in a bag and burn it
-You sure? You can go back to sleep
-No, his body will start smelling, better get rid of it as you bathe –she nodded and went up with the combat knife in hand, his beautiful goddess naked bathed in moonlight and mole rat blood. She was perfect.
Arthur went off the bed and pick up some pants and slippers, looking for a bag around while she placed the combat knife in a table, his head was moving in circles all light head about being wake up so sudden but he was glad to have her support in moments like this.
-Ill wait for you awake in bed, it wont take long
-Theres some rad-x in the drawers if you start to feel sick, ill be back in no time okay? –she noded and went inside the bathroom, Arthur find a bag and sighted.
The safest place in the Commonwealth…yeah…he was the only one safe because everybody care for him…but as any other citizen in the land….she wasn't…his eyes watered at the thought, he was scared for her, of losing her again, so scared, over any random event.
A little event was thrown on the lower levels again on a friday night, and for some reason Dogmeat was the main guest, everybody was petting and playing with the dog, giving him threats and food to make him happy, Nora was also happy, laughing at seeing the animal act, definitely a dog is always a glow up in social reunions, so sad that the dog brotherhood unit is at the airport down there…
Arthur was around too, they weren't together walking as a couple, much less hugging or driking together, she was at her island talking to some people with a bottle in hand and he was playing pocker, gambling with some tokens Nora giften him to step up a little the game, since he liked it so much better have nice things to share with other players.
Still, Nora can heard the conversations around her, and she didn't like it.
Oh both arrived together.
He looks at her so much.
They probably spend the night together, Nora wasn't seen in the cafeteria. SHE NEVER IS AT THE CAFETERIA, SHE HATES WHAT IS SERVED.
In a moment, Arthur was summoned by some soldiers who approatched his ear to whisper something, he went up, make an excuse to the other players she couldn't hear over the music and leave. But she did hear the comments that not so long after the elder left started to float in the air
-I guess sometimes is the elder who has to work and not the woman with the pants on –Nora heard a trio of men talking with beers on hand
-Shhhhhhh you idiot! You are gonna get us in trouble –said one of them
-Its not like he isn't right tho –welp at least one of them have the correct thoughts but not so much the other two.
-She is right over there! And I don't want troubles with the sentinel!
-Gotta admit that you need some skills to manage the elder like a pet –said one of the trio.
-Or turn him into a pet –said the other, the rational one was getting pretty uncomfortable between the pair.
-She did climb fast in ranges tho
-I bet the elder is bewitched by prewar pussy –and then the trio laughted, like any group of men would do over a vagina joke. That's it, she wouldn't tolerate it any longer, her bottle fall into the ground crushing loud and everybody turn their attention to her, included the trio.
-What the hell you said jackass!? –she screamed out and loud to them, the three stepped back like scared kittens until one take the lead and put the foot.
Even Dogmeat snapped out in surprise and went off, hiding between some people legs.
-Isn't nice the elders change of attitude? –the one that was unable to let his pride fall over a yelling woman stepped in front to not loose, after all he didn't regret what he said- its only natural since he is so young, I bet he is still developing
Ohnonononono Arthur have a lot of years serving as an elder, no one would mock at his honor.
-You little bitch would do good at shutting your cocksucker mouth –said Nora spitting her words with actual disgust. Everybody was looking at her and not at them actually.
-Whats with that raider language? Do not worry sentinel we understand the elders…needs…-ohyeayeayeah he did a sexual joke and everybody laugh at it, very mature.
-Ill give you a second warning to regret everything you are saying –the cocksucker was really boiling her blood as it accumulated into her fist
Even Dogmeat started to bark at the idiot that was talking, getting on Noras nerve.
-Or what? You are gonna give us advice on how to ride ranks up? –at saying that everybody around shut up, too much, if anyone tried to ask about how the initiate elevate to sentinel so fast they would surely get punished.
-This is a third warning asshole, im being very patient with you –said Nora breaking the group of people she was around to step forward.
Yes, her presence was terrifying, no one wanted to defy the woman who destroyed the institute but theres always assholes trying to mock on women no matter the time, her adolescence, university, marriage choices or even after the bombs droped in a far far away future.
-Should I remind everyone that she was also fraternizing with Paladin Danse? Always high ranks, it didn't matter to her becoming a synth fucker –that's it, at hearing that name in his disgusting lips Nora jumped directly to his throat and hang him with her bare hands. The man was huge, gigantic in comparison but she was more than accustomed to hang Deathclaws with her bare hand too.
At seeing red, nothing matters, and by the levels of drugs she often consumes, her chemistry blow ups fast at very little reactions, like, it is possible to trigger high levels of adrenaline by being angery? For Nora it was possible
-Ask me for forgiveness bitch! –she said chunking her teeth while squeezing her hands harder around the man throat.
Nora had a lot of experience hanging people, she knew how to paralyze them to not get hurt and this wasn't the exception, gigantic and all he was unable to do anything as her legs and boots had his hands far away from her, the man was uncapable to defend himself from the attack, even trying to move and roll away she really have a training on how turn people down.
It wasn't training, it was well gained experience, to not be consumed, to not be killed, to not be breaked by the Commonwealth cruelty, it was survival.
Even Dogmeat was scared of his master reaction, hiding between some peoples legs to not get in the middle of the beast attack. She didn't need any help, she was even more than animal than the canine.
-I…I…re…gret…-said the man when he felt the skin on his face turn warm for the lack of blood circulation, he cannot move at all and any attempt was tightening her grip over his hands, never see the woman fight in first person but she was as strong and scary as fighting with a Yao Guai- Im…so…sow…sowrry…-he said low heasiating with the poor sounds that were able to climb his throat over Noras fingers, the words resonated and tremble on her fingers, making the sentinel snap out her anger letting go his neck, but before ending…she put the cherry of the cake, giving him a strong and big punch that break his nose, the crack was a sound that everybody heard even with the music on and at hearing the echo of all the surprised soldiers Nora went up, and spitted at the ground next to were the soldier with the broken nose trying to recover air was, taking big breaths in and out both.
One because it was hanged and with a serious injured, the other one for her levels of adrenaline
-Make this a lesson to not ever disrespect any of you superiors again –she said after taking a big breath, Nora left the party with two bottles of beer in each hand, disappearing into the darkness, Dogmeat follow her, running behind his master.
The news didn't take long to reach Arthur, who smiled sarcastic at the soldier who informed about a bar fight.
-Do I look like like a freacking primary school director? I have business to attend! A barfight is something a paladin or even a knight can interfere! –said the elder rolling his eyes, focused on the documents that arrived at his office.
-That's the thing sir the fight was between a soldier and…the sentinel –Arthur eyes went wide, and looked directly at the soldier face who came to deliver the message- that's why my knight thought it was necessary to inform you…sir…
He sighted and stayed in silence for an awkward minute for the soldier, the elder was just at his side looking at nothing, thinking, tired, angry he could tell.
-Thanks for the information soldier, ill deal with this.
When the soldier leave, he sighted again take a few minutes, laying his back on the chair. There has to be a good reason, Nora wouldn't normally ignore his orders and he warned her about this. After some minutes he get up and leave his quarters to find her.
She wasn't at the party, she had left some people said, some others saids she runned away, a group said she was screaming curses drunk. So Arthur went to the place were everything started, where she would always be.
It was cold, very very cold, a freezing breeze was blowing up in the skies but she was there sitting, drinking while the dog rested on her legs with the ears down actually trembling. Of course, with that amount of alcohol she wasn't feeling any climate at all, but the dog was indeed feeling it, but he wouldn't leave her alone and vulnerable.
-Oh shit…-she mumble before going for a full sip bottle of beer, not wanting to face this situation.
-Oh shit indeed, do you dare to explain me, sentinel? –he waited for her to stop drinking the whole bottle, getting angrier at each slurp at each moment he see her troath move down the liquid
-Don't sentinel me –she spitted and went up, Dogmeat moved away, going to Arthur side, the man received the dog with a pat on the head not understanding Nora at all- sometimes you don't appreciate enough a girlfriend with education –the elders cheeks burned at hearing that word, standing still in place, they never clarified anything or have stated their feelings- you see I know what im doing
-I believe you have good reasons –he said completely hipnozed by her movements around him, the word girlfriend sparked something very very deep inside him. Now he desired her.
-I read that bar fights in the Brotherhood are punished with prison –when she was close enough her hands went to open his jacket and place them over his pects, he closed his eyes and groaned he was conquered like everyone said, yes, it was true, totally true, he was under her control and wanted to be that way on every position as possible too- but I also read this and I think we can use it in our advantage…-she climbed over his ear and bite his lobe, before starting to whisper something, clearly taking the man out of his trance to pay attention.
Whisper, whisper, whisper…all right, sounded like a plan, it was logical, correct, and it followed the codex…yes…it would work…it could be worse…
The fact that she get in so much trouble because hearing people talk bad of him trigger something violent in her mind…aroused him, it was hot, so hot, he cant wait to press her against a wall tonight, all night.
-Are you drunk now? –he said closing his arms around her waist, after all they were on the edgy of the abbyss, getting close to her face not for a kiss but to smell alcohol in her breath.
-Ill be in a few minutes, 4 beers should be enough, its doesn't matter the hour by tomorrow morning they will perform exams to check my alcohol levels…ill see you at the party elder…
They have a plan, a good plan, a plan following the games of the brotherhood. A plan to be together.
He left first while she started to dink the bottle number four
Arriving to the party now was…weird, everybody threated him with what he can call…awkwardness and respect, he picked up a bottle of beer and went to chat with a group, it was difficult and he was only hearing for just a couple a minutes until they relaxed again and included him.
Friday parties were calming, he wasn't the elder there, he was a soldier, a partner, a brother like everyone else there, he was welcomed despite his range. Growing up almost alone with barely friends and no people of his age was…difficult…but here people didn't make differences and he can appreciate that. It was a nice gesture they had with him.
Arthur chilled with the soldiers until he saw a black curved figure with red lips at the end of the hallway and he slurped saliva in expectation, this was the moment he was craving to have courage enough for so long, and she decided to carry on not only to get off troubles but to be together as he was wishing for so long.
-Maxson! –she screamed from the other side of the room, empty bottle of beer in a hand, replacing it with a closed one she picked up from a table, Dogmeat was walking at her side- Elder Maxson! –he flipped to confront her, just like they planned, his heart racing in expectation, this was it.
Everyone was looking at them, including the group that he was chatting a few seconds before, also expecting to see what happens now, not wanting to get their noses crushed by the sentinel fits but…curious to see what will happened between she and the elder.
-Yes? Sentinel? –he said and she went forward, getting real close, pointing a finger to his chest, looking him directly in the eyes, pressing the finger directly to his heart, oh gosh he was feeling like that organ would fall off his chest, she surely could feel it beat inside.
This was the moment. Their eyes were locked and he couldn't be more…In love…he wanted to look at her eyes forever.
-Arthur Maxson –she stated, everyone looked at them, so she made a big and full of security smile- be-my-man
Oh my gosh, the entire room went silent, only the music can be heard, some soldiers hide their face behind their drinks, some others were out of words, a group was checking on the people around if what they were living was real
Arthur gasped, but he knew what to do, he would follow the plan and do this woman his in front of anybody who needed to know it. His arms wrapped around her waist, pushing her close to his chest, she raised her head and turned it to a side closing her eyes, he gasped again looking at her red lips, so close and bright –Ill be yours…sentinel –he closed them too and kiss her, deep, wet, moving their lips together.
Dogmeat started to run in circles around them, and the happiness of the canine was a sing enough to make everyone realize that this was the reality and it was a happy moment, a confusing one, but happy.
An everyone cheered, smiled and wave at the new couple, the most powerfull couple in all the Commonwealth.
If someone wanted to shoot Arthur in the head to kill him, please be in this moment, because this is the happiest he can ever get, this was the happiest moment of his life. The black widow goddess choosed to be a his side.
