caution to all readers, sexual themes ahead
vacuo port #96*
"C-c-c-ole...ma-ma-ma-master-er-er" Racheal struggled as she bled out in ilia's arms, and as a 'dying' android she was panicking to find the words to say to him.
"Cole...please wait up, I'm not as fast as you are" ilia begged as she chased cole down the docks having to throw Racheal over her shoulders to just carry her properly.
"I have their shop's location ilia, I'm not stopping!" Cole yelled watching his scroll point him in the direction of the android auto body shop.
"please cole just stop and breathe for a moment" ilia begged, straining to match his pace she fell further behind stride after stride. As luck would have it cole had stopped but unluckily the auto body shop had been burned down.
Ilia knocked over Cole, putting him on all fours and dropped Rachael on the floor the two of them stared at the charred remains of said shop and Cole had completely lost his composure by angrily smashing what remained standing in the burnt area and went all out punching and kicking everything in his way. "I suffered, bled, nearly died and waited patiently for some good luck but instead I get this shit!"
Ilia huffed in annoyance as she hefted Rachael up and asked "what do we do now?"
Racheal as if on cue answered her question by unplugging a metal chip from her temple the size of a stick of gum, 2 inches thick and shined like freshly polished metal. "this should be sufficient for the time being"
Cole hadn't heard that, so he continued stomping in an office desk yelling obscenities and vulgarity. Ilia took and pocketed the chip before turning to see Rachael smile at her, "Master will not be happy but I am an A.i. so I'll still be with you both; he'll need a suit like in these blueprints and schematics, also stored in the chip"
Ilia stared at her for a few moments and said deadpan frowning "so basically you made a fully functional copy"
Powering down she gave her best 'resting bitch face' "oh great, yeah, take all the fun outta my death and kill my passing-"
Ilia groaned "I hate your theatrics" before dragging her to cole's destroyed room and said tossing the chip to cole, "Racheal copied herself before she shut down, so your tantrum was a waste"
Cole shakenly stood up and wobbled over next to her and sat in the burnt chair pocketing 'chip Rachael' and asked "what do we do now that vacuo is our temporary home, I vote food and getting drunk till the end of remnant"
"Very funny tall, dark and broody. We're going to sanctum and calling an old friend of Blake's- well actually its her ex-husband to be blunt" she replied calling a restaurant to deliver them some food before doing anything else. "black sun special delivered to the burnt down android repair shop near pier 362- yes I know just get here before I change my mind...yes I know just get it- oh my gods, large with the carnivore special on the side!"
Cole looked at her cock-eyed and amused "who the hell pissed you off so fast?" she huffed a little too loud and blushed hot pink.
Two deep breaths later ilia stood next to him and said nothing but just as he was going to say something as a grey rusted car honked it's horn loud and long drawn out to purposely draw attention and agitate ilia more and more.
Cole turned to see sun step out the car with three boxes full of food and drinks as big as a party table. Ilia grabbed cole by his grimm hand and shoved his arm behind her and said hurriedly "grab my waist Like your my boyfriend"
From a hushed whisper to a play along tone Cole replied "Ilia that's not- a problem with me, you know you don't need to tell me twice"
Ilia put her hands behind her back and went to work covering up his hand moving up his arm and wrapped it deftly as if she'd done this before.
"I'm surprised that you ordered a mountain of food amitola, normally you ate a fourth of this but I'm not judging..." sun trailed off dropping the first box of food and stared frozen in disbelief.
"You forgot to tell him didn't you?" Cole asked monotone and just completely done with today.
"He's surprised I have a guy near me these days since I lied about being gay to push that Neptune guy away." Ilia complained poking a bowl of chicken and cheese pasta.
"I thought he met me at some point or was your ex" Cole chuckled while grabbing a bowl of Meatballs with spaghetti and bread slices.
Hours passed fast as the two of them had eaten and went searching for somewhere to sleep for the night and cole had not wanted to stop for a single reason other than finding a building or a damn abandoned house. Reaching a park in the central oasis where vacuo was first founded.
"ilia, let me just carry you, I found a hotel a half mile from us, see?" Cole said showing her scroll to her.
Ilia tiredly looked up at him massaging her feet and sighed, "Fine, But your carrying me the whole way"
"done" he said picking her up and started walking. "just don't expect me to do this all the time, I'm not what I used to be"
Ilia squeaked in surprise and blushed hard at his body pressed against his on principle alone, but more that he was strong enough to carry her like this. She tried speaking multiple times, but choked on her words each time, so she resigned herself to just closing her eyes and in no time flat, fell asleep in his arms.
Cole had survived so much carnage and hell but these moments where he was the one carrying some friend or close enough to one that it felt worth it, even if romance wasn't in his heart any more than wanting a stable and quiet life was really a fever dream, no hunter could technically have it that way since they were all treated like spec ops or specter agents in remnant's military.
Walking for about two more miles cole wandered mentally to his beacon days and how badly he'd messed up; war inside the heart was a genocide of the mind. Amongst his greatest regrets, he'd had to narrow it down to hurting everyone with his explosive temper four years ago, not telling Blake he was sorry and confessing to Weiss.
Now that he thought about it more thoroughly, Weiss and ruby were the only ones out of the eight people from both jnpr and rwby that generally made his life bearable, regardless of how little different it was. After all, he was dead, remnant is eroding from the inside and he was running from his problems.
On the bright side his self loathing didn't last very long. Looking up at a sign he found the hotel he'd looked for...unfortunately it was a love hotel named 'istana ketenangan' or vacuian for 'palace of serenity'. Sighing in resignation cole heated ilia in his left arm and fished 400 lien from his pocket walked in and said "I need a room"
The receptionist tossed him a key and In broken valian said "only room left, drink off"
Cole thanked him, grabbed the key and walked ilia to the elevator. He set her down to read the room and floor. "Floor 9 room 9823, well, it has a decent view at least"
Looking down he noticed ilia's spots were turning a reddish pink hue, which she'd told him means she was having her monthly heat cycle. As soon as he'd realized, he scoffed grabbing ilia and walked to their room.
Inside the room was unfortunately themed as a human/faunas fetish room equipped with drugs to enhance sexual experience, a bondage swing fixed in the doorway to the bathroom, there was even a tool on the bed to fix someone's head and wrists in.
Placing ilia on the bed and walking over to the balcony, Cole felt the need to spend all night watching the world around the town go about its normal and dilapidated comfort.
What he'd been unaware of was ilia had been in heat ever since the ship and the aphrodisiacs in the room was actually putting cole in more danger than he'd realized -his faunas genes were putting him in the same situation- but stress forced his urges he'd been having to the back of his list of priorities.
In no time flat Cole had fallen asleep and woke up an less than an hour in to the feeling of intrusive hands and unexpected warmth on him.
Opening his eyes, ilia was running her deft and nimble hands over his thighs to his waist then up his shirt feeling up his stomach. Losing herself in the midst of hormonal groping, ilia grabbed his dagger 'grey death' and smiled slicing his shirt up the middle and pretty much ripped it off him to relish in his godly physique.
Cole however didn't just sit there and let her do as she pleased. He wasted no time in pushing her off him and pinned her to the floor blushing hard enough to make a cherry tomato jealous.
"I trust you master, punish this animal- defile me, take me like you own me." She said seductively and used her tongue to lick cole's neck and nipped him in the same spot. "make me yours, make me beg, choke me like you hate me" she hungrily said shivering and feeling his icy hands over her hot fingers.
Cole took a moment to breathe and calm himself down, ilia was not herself and she just took his shirt off without any difficulty. "ilia I'm not doing this...I can't- you aren't thinking clearly" he whispered. Letting her go he left into the bathroom to clear his head. He couldn't do it and she didn't care, either she'd get what she craved or she'd get worse, Cole knew this but did nothing but leave her needing him.
She didn't take the dismissal lying down, she wouldn't accept it, so she decided to wait. Cole would be out of sight taking a shower as she heard him turn the faucet on and she could readjust her strategy better. Taking a deep breath she ordered him a meal and requested they add a drink to affect partial faunaskind but was advised that there already was some in the room.
"Thank you madam, I'm sure he'll love the meal" ilia smiled as she tipped the hotel worker.
"good luck miss, just so you know the soundproof walls hold up better than a prison cell so go nuts." the house keeper said handing off the cart of food and vacuian bourbon with strawberry wine.
Cole had just barely stepped into the shower cleaning himself off and didn't bother removing the rags from his arm, Cole wanted to hide it but knew he couldn't do that for long so he she'd the rags and examined it all from his shoulder down his bicep and so on. It looked like black body paint with white bone plating as smooth as sandpaper.
After cole had relaxed in the hot water he quickly switched it to cold water like the Atlesian arctic making him gasp and shiver out a groan.
After a moment he stepped out of the shower and dried off as best he could before exiting the bathroom in boxers and a clean t-shirt with a sleeve cut in half for his right arm to only cover the left arm. Looking up from his towel and wet hair, Cole saw ilia dressed in a gorgeous black and sage dress smiling at him with a cart of food behind her.
"Uh, ilia...what the hell is this" he asked slightly disturbed and mostly confused.
"I wanted to apologize, I didn't take your feelings on this matter into consideration and I'd like to try again" she swayed her hips side to side emphasizing her body language to Cole. "dance with me, eat dinner and then..if your up for it mate with me" she said as she walked her fingers up his abs and chest before poking his nose.
"your my friend AND my personal doctor, so I'll indulge you this ONE TIME" Cole replied moving toward the dinner not feeling good about the situation "better not have spiked this or I swear I'll..." he trailed off blushing at her revealing dress. Where his robot servant failed seducing Cole ilia was successful and was going to have her way one way or another, it was better to ask for it and not just take him by force.
Sitting down he poked and prodded his steak and vegetables inspecting it with his nose and eyes for a few moments too long for ilia's liking so she went with the more motherly approach while exposing her legs and chest to him by sitting across from him.
"Cole I promise you'll love it. The hotel cooked it, so its safe to eat."
He glared at her and said cutting off a chunk and spooning up some veggies "if I eat this and Pass out I'm wrapping you up into a blanket burrito and leaving you tied up"
She smiled as she slowly waltzed over to him and ate the food as instructed but figured out how to make even THAT sexy. She sat down against him back to back on the bed and allowed her subtle musk from her body and an earthy rain scent enveloped his senses and that was sending him near the edge alone.
A wave of lust crashed through his body lighting his skin on fire in dire need to be sated but he wouldn't give in...he couldn't, not unless it was weiss. "see cole? I'm not unconscious or dizzy, it's safe to eat I promise"
Taking her word for it he ate all the food he was given and almost like a wolf he devoured it all, in minutes he had even eaten the dessert on the bottom shelf on the cart.
Talking about everything they could think of, early afternoon turned into dark enough to see the stars. He figured he'd dance with her for the night, share a small moment -preferably a hug-, then go to sleep.
