Nameless Ghoul Fire

One Word Prompts // open

--

It was vicious, Dew slamming his hands on the table in front of him, tail swinging as he hissed the words spitefully.

He supposed he deserved it.

It wasn't fair.

"What do you mean?" He asked quietly, hands cupped around the tea mug that had been rattled with the Fire Ghoul's tantrum, "I'm pretty sure I've said it before." He met the fiery gaze with conflicted dark eyes.

"You know what I mean, Aeth. Its been weeks since you last said it." The fire ghoul spat, upset with his friend.

The fire ghoul wasn't used to Aether being so distant, only a while back he heard the words almost every day. It wasn't fair, he just wanted to feel loved too.

Aether grunted softly with the thump of impact against his back. The strangling of his ribcage made him wheeze softly. He managed to turn around a little in the vice grip and smiled down at the familiar short ghoul stuck to his back, the horns of his mask pressed between Aether’s shoulder blades. 

“You know you saw me at breakfast right, Dewie?” Aether chuckled before reaching his hands around to pat at the fire ghoul’s thighs cheekily. He cracked one of the muscles with a slap and felt the little fiery ghoul stiffen with a growl. The sound rumbled down his spine, a warning to leave him like that or suffer the consequences of touching him again.

To the soft hum of Aether, Dewdrop let go, allowing the bigger ghoul to turn to him, just to hug him again. “Doesn’t matter when I last saw you, just.. Need a moment, okay?”

The fiery ghoul wasn’t good at expressing his feelings but it felt easy with Aether to show a little weakness sometimes.

“Hey, that’s alright, sweetheart.” The quintessence ghoul nodded and wrapped his arms around Dewdrop’s shoulders, listening to the other’s teeth grind in upset. Every fire ghoul he had ever known was just as bad at expressing themselves. It was made harder by their human-esque glamours. 

The words that came out of Dewdrop’s mouth made him tilt his head.

"I felt like everyone is avoiding me lately. And.. It got me wondering if I am really that horrible." The small ghoul shrugged, enjoying the attention to his head from Aether.

The man in question looked up from his book at the sound of his name, a smile crossing his face at the sight of his friend. Eilam hadn’t seen Dewdrop in much longer a time than he’d liked, and was more than happy to see the feisty ghoul again.

"But I hope you have been a good boy?" The ghoul leaned closer, whispering in Eilams ear with a sultry voice, "or do I have to punish you, little bookworm?" Dew tried to keep a serious face but errupted in laughter only a few seconds after, hugging the brother tight.

There was some foot steps as Mint stepped around the wall from the kitchen. Her sleeves were rolled up and she was wiping flour off of her hands.

“Woah there, I’m not mad. Just baking! “

“I didn’t know you cooked, Dew!” She plucked one of the chocolates out and inspected it. It looked very well made and she let another impressed trill before popping it in her mouth. Mint let out an audible ‘mmm!’ at the taste before a thought occurred to her. 

She shuffled away into her kitchen and returned with a warm tray of brownies. 

He took a seat, curiously looking at what Minty got. Taking one of her baked goods, he inspected it, taking a bite. “They’re great Minty!” The fire ghoul exclaimed, eating away on the brownies, the taste of chocolate on his tongue.

“We are friends. I don’t think I could say no after this! You both did a good job making it.” She winked before heading to the fridge. She produced a gallon of milk and quickly snatched up two glasses. 

The den mother pulled up a seat across from Dew and poured them both a glass of ice cold milk. She gently slid the glass to the fire ghoul before grabbing another chocolate.

The fire ghoul thankfully took the glass of milk, taking a sip from it while smiling over Mints joy. “Its the first time I made some. I’m glad they turned out so good.”

“They turned out excellent! you should cook more!”

Her grin got larger as he complimented her own baking. 

“I’m always ready to make more. If you can visit more often I can show you how. I got the best recipes for all the Sisters!” 

There was a sharp, loud chirp from not too far away. Mint nodded as turned to the high chair Void had been sitting in. She quickly got up and crossed the floor to pick him up. The kit had finished his brownie and wanted attention. The den mother scooped the small ghoul from his seat.

There sat a little kit, traces of the now gone brownie still around his mouth. Dew smiled as the kit thrilled, holding his arms to Mint, “Gimme, I wanna say hi to the little boy.” Smiling, Dew placed Void in his lap, ruffling the boys hair.

She smiled sweetly at Dew’s unexpected request, but nodded. The den mother eased the kit over, who was more than happy to be held by a new friend. Void gurgled as he watched the band ghoul, with huge purple eyes. The kit chirped and giggled as his soft, dark hair was teased. Immediately the kit reached out to grab the guitarist’s hand and pull on his fingers.

Void was easily swayed to let go at the chocolate and greedily snatched it with tiny hands. Mint laughed as chocolate immediately smeared on the little one’s face.

Dew smiled at Void, the little kit warming his heart, “He’s very cute.” He moved his fingers, wiggling them in front of the giggling kit with a smile on his lips. “Well, I didn’t know either. But as it seems id make a good den father.” He chuckled, ruffling the kits hair.

Void chirped and reached out for Dew’s fingers- playfully trying to nip at them much like a little puppy. The kit tried to wrestle Dew’s arm as he flailed about in the Fire Ghoul’s lap. 

Mint smiled at the thought, warmth fluttering in her chest.

“I would like that very much. We can all have some lunch and maybe bake more?” 

Mint reached for another chocolate for herself.

“That sounds good to me,” he smiled at her, but the smile left his face just as quickly. “We havent talked much lately..” the fire ghoul sighed, looking back at the chirping kit in his lap, “but I think he’s okay, just kinda.. Wants to be alone maybe? I dont know..”

Aethers absence had been hard on the small ghoul, considering the bigger one his best friend.

“I think so, too. And… i like talking to you.”

She blinked and snort giggled when she saw Void stand up in Dew’s lap- trying to feed the bigger ghoul a chocolate.

Dew wanted to add something but was interrupted by void trying to feed him chocolate. With a chuckle, he opened his mouth, allowing the kit to feed him.

"Thank you Void." He smiled, enjoying the attention of the chirping kit. "He's really cute, Mintymoo."

Rain had been so lonely lately, everyone off doing their own things while he’d been left to mope around the church and do small chores. Even all his ducks and frogs had left the pond so he’d taken to hiding in his room for the most part, sleeping or watching random shows on the TV he’d pilfered from a random room.

He was surprised, then, when someone lets themselves into his room unannounced, chirping loudly when arms wrap around him and pull him onto the bed. His heart soars when he finds that his mystery visitor is Dewdrop, chirping and trilling happily to have his mate back.

Oh how dearly he would have liked to punch the little shit and watch him spit out his teeth. It took all of Alpha’s will not to strike him, his fist bawled up against his thigh, hands beginning to tremble.

“It is called putrefaction; have you not heard that I am as rotten on the outside as I am on the inside?” Perhaps, just perhaps, if he owned up to the rot Dew would not realize that the comment stung.

He leaned in, towering over the smaller ghoul, and sniffed dramatically, “what is your excuse, then? You reek of shit; perhaps it is your skill as a guitarist that I am smelling.” 

When Dewdrop pulled back, Alpha only stared. For a breath he was unmoving, eyes blazing as the young ghoul stuck out his tongue.

In an instant his other hand was at Dew’s throat, his hands shaking all the harder even as he held back from squeezing.

“I will not stand for your mockery, you little shit. I ought to pull out your goddamn tongue for that.”

He was almost expecting the older one to grab his tongue and rip it out after his words but instead the grip around his neck was loosened. Dew waa surprised as he heard Alphas words but he tried his best to hide it.

Instead, he grinned, raising an eyebrow, "Oh? But would you have listened, old man, if I had asked?" He licked his lips, debating if he should take a big risk.

Everyone else would have backed off by now but not Dewdrop. His stupidness making his decision easy. With a swift motion, he pushes the other ghouls mask up, far enough to reveal his mouth.

“Is there a reason your sat here on your lonesome drinking us out of whiskey?” Aether laughed as he flopped back into the cushions of their large lounge sofa. Dewdrop was curled in the common room like an injured cat, pouting and upset, sprawled across the cushions with the bottle clutched close.
