Secret Monster Robert

This was inspired by Feel Like Monster by John Michael Howell

CW: Angst, injury, blood (art below follows CW)

Like literally a monster who learned to take human form thanks genetics totally didn't freak Robbie or Chase out when this totally normal looking baby just turned into like a literal fucking creature.

So this takes place later on Robert had always been so careful of appearing fully human. Keeping the monster at bay, keeping it sealed off, secure, making sure he was safe to be around.

But today it was just not his day, the team was acting more rowdy than usual, the coffee machine was broken, he had lost his car keys, Beef threw up in the break room it was just one thing after another. He knew he had to leave as soon as possible he needed to get out the second work was over.

He knew for sure he needed to avoid Flambae, even with all their past history something about that man called to the monster inside him. The instincts he shoved so far down that wanted Flamabe to be his.

Of course things were never easy for Robert. He tried god he really did try to slip out of the building unnoticed but of course he just had to run into Flambae. The monster inside bristled at the touch, Robert tried to keep going but Flambae had grabbed him and spun him around asking what the fuck was up with him today. Calling Robert out on all his missed calls.

Robert tried to get away, but the mans grip was strong of course it was it was Flambae. Feeling the grip tighten and the ambient heat, plus the thoughts in his head the ones that reminded him how useless he was things quickly escalated.

His vision went blurry, his mind foggy, there was a growl coming from somewhere that he realized at some point was himself.

In a second Robert no longer looked like himself, Flambae was on the floor holding his face and the second the blood hit the floor, the smell hitting Robert's nose he froze.

Robert once again looked like Robert, the team was huddle around Flambae who was looking at Robert.

Said man was frozen staring back at Flambae watching the red drip down, he reached out slightly but stopped himself. Internally he was panicking, years of trying to keep it under control, trying to be a hero despite his true nature, he failed. He Failed.

Without a thought Robert turned and bolted despite the team calling for him, Flambae's voice the loudest.

From Flambae's POV he knew he shouldn't have grabbed Robert like that, he knew Robert hated being grabbed from behind. How was he supposed to know that Robert was gonna freak out as hard as he did and turn into a huge fucking creature thing!

The growl was surprising but how fast the mons-Robert struck he never stood a chance. In literal seconds he was on the floor holding his face which stung and was wet.

When he finally looked at Robert and and he was himself again he forgot the pain because the look on the not so normies face. He had never seen so much guilt, fear and regret on someones face. Self loathing , hatred, grief. All these emotions flashed over Roberts face before he suddenly turned and bolted.

Robert doesn't show up to work the next day or the next, he's missing. Chase explains Robert was born that way and hated it. He's probably running and isolating for what he did to Flambae. Now the team had assigned themselves a mission, 'Bring Robert Home and Convince Him he's NOT a Monster'

They're probably still awkward around each other for a bit not very long just enough that during the next solar eclipse Robert decides he's done running, he's done hiding, done feeling sorry for himself.

So he seeks out Zahir and invites him to spend the solar eclipse with him, in his temple.

Zahir is ecstatic but nervous of course, his scar still semi fresh, and he wants so badly to grab Robert and hold him close because it could've been Robert and not him. But here they were and Robert was inviting him to view an eclipse!

They sit in Robert's garden as the moon covers the sun, and being this close to Robert again looking into his eyes. Robert glows and he tells him so. The closer they are the brighter Robert is, to the point they don't realize they're leaning into each other.

And then....

They're kissing and it's like the whole universe stood still. Everything they've wanted to say, all the centuries of pining and ignoring their feelings all laid out in a kiss so reverent and soft.

Together glowing so brightly that any gods who try to check on them only see light.

When they pull apart, they smile and laugh, call themselves stupid for waiting so long. For being too scared.

And finally things are as they should be.

Where and how Shroud fits

I had the idea that Shroud was a follower of the God of War (Robbie) promised power and the strength to take what he wants.

. . .

He was a devote to Robert’s Father the god of war

He had promised Elliot power and strength

Did not actually go through with it.

No one actually knows what happened to Robbie, killed, faded out, it’s still a mystery all they know is Robert has a devotee who looks at him a little intensely

Robert’s always been a bit uncomfortable around Elliot but he just thinks it’s human strangeness and devotion

Finally during a new moon phase ( Robert’s always weaker during the new moon)

Elliot attacks using a weapon stolen from the God of wars temple

Zahir (flambae) had heard the commotion and hearing Robert in trouble comes to the rescue. He fights Elliot, Robert’s wounded but not fatally.

The rest of the Gods come in to help

Zahir gets distracted at one point and Elliot uses this moment to throw his weapon at Robert

Zahir in his panic jumps in front of Robert

Robert seeing Zahir injured goes full god mode even changing the phase of the moon, absolutely decimating Elliot and quickly takes Zahir to his own temple putting the Sun God in his healing pools and uses the residual power from his father to fully heal Zahir though he now has a crescent shaped scar on his chest (which matches Robert’s basically solar flare looking scar on his side)

Sun x Moon Flambert angst

Zahir saw Robert in his temple, gazing up at the stars. They illuminated his pale skin beautifully.

It almost pained him how much he loved the moon god.

He didnt even notice how he started stepping closer, how he felt drawn towards him.

He reached out as if to touch Roberts shoulder and paused.

Robert sighed softly almost longingly. His shoulders drooping, now he was imagining the heat of the sun god. He quietly shuffles deeper into his temple.

Not realizing Zahir had been behind him reaching out but to scared to close the distance.

Have Moon God Robert being angsty in his temple

~ What happened in the past ~

They used to be close. They were friends, already starting to feel more.

Robert is as usual sarcastic, caring, but a little closed off. Zahir is warm expressive and with Robert hes a little softer.

Robert listens and observes, Zahir talks, laughs, and pulls him along.

Robert is used to Zahir in small doses. Zahir is always careful around Robert. They dont realize theres a limit because theyve never tested it.

The lunar eclipse is coming, Zahir is excited. "You'll see it ways differently then the mortals Rob!"

Hes excited because he wants to share more of himself with Robert.

Robert is just content to see Zahir so happy.

At first its beautiful, Zahir's temple mimics the earth a bit, dimming the light, changing color.

Gradually though, Zahirs's light intensifies, it deepens. Robert can feel the shift, Zahir doesnt realize the shift is dangerous.

To him he's just being fully himself.

At first its subtle, the feeling that washes over Robert. Not exactly pain, more like overexposure.

Robert feels it nearly in his core when it does become pain.

The light stops reflecting and starts piercing.

Robert tries to push through because he wanted this, he wanted to be close to Zahir wanted to prove they could be together.

He stays a second too long.

Zahir finally notices that Robert isn't just quiet, hes struggling. The glow on him is harsher than in the temple almost red.

He immediately tries to dim himself, to fix this, but its too late.

The eclipse just makes him stronger, harder to control.

There's a cry and Robert is on the floor holding his side.

Zahir tries to touch him, but it makes it worse his hands hotter than they've ever been to robert. Robert own divinity lashes out from the pain. Taking woth it two of the sun gods fingers...

Zahir is stunned the the eclipse is making him stronger to the point he barely notices but of course the shock is there.

Robert cries out again and it snaps Zahir out of his stupor and he calls for help.

Herman and a few others come running. But the Ocean God is quick to scoop Robert up and rush him to the gods own temple.

Zahir follows far behind almost in a daze and even from there he could see that Roberts temple is bathed in a red light.

In the aftermath Zahir is shaken, tries to reach out but hesitates because of what happened.

Robert believes he was too weak, not strong enough to see all of Zahir... Or even stand at his side.

Roberts tunic/wrap fully covers his body now.

Zahir is filled with guilt.

Robert when hearing that he lashed out while in pain taking two of the sun gods fingers falls deeper in his self loathing.

I have a hc that Waterboy Ocean God in this au is like one of roberts close friends because of how the moon and ocean like work together lol

Flambae is like super jealous that Waterboy gets to be so close to Robert.

They’re still in the orbiting stage and soon I’ll post what caused them to really be so distant so prepare for angst lol

First part ramblings on this AU I came up with

Moon God Robert x Sun God Flambae

(Will be using my hc name for Flambae Zahir) (oh also angst)

Robert existed in Zahir’s light. His warmth. He’d watch from afar, just wishing for a chance to even catch a glimpse of the man’s smile. And Robert was well… Robert, just the moon. He wasn’t special, just someone who rode on the coat tails of Zahir’s brilliance.

Often times he’d look away too quickly wishing for the god to look back at him just once. Yearning to be in that embrace, because the moon is nothing without the sun. And it hurts to not be more but he can accept it. Just being in the same orbit. That was enough. It had to be….

But it never is, god Zahir is just dazzling…. He feels like a moth drawn to a flame.

Zahir always sees Robert out of the corner of his eye, never getting too close. He wants so badly to reach out to the Moon God cold and distant. Bring him into his warmth and never let him be cold again…

But he doesn’t

He doesn’t know why he doesn’t, why he can’t take that first step…

Maybe because Robert feels so far away, so untouchable. He’s a gorgeous, lone figure that Zahir will spot in the distance a subtle faint silver glow around him, parallel to Zahir’s own golden glow.

Robert feels untouchable to Zahir, not because he’s unapproachable but because Zahir feels like too much. He is bright and harsh and loud, where Robert is calm and quiet almost ethereal.

The gods orbit each other, longing and yearning. They’re in perfect balance of avoidance. Zahir thinks he’s too much, Robert thinks he’s not enough.

One day they’ll see. They’ll find they are better together than they ever could be apart. And when they finally close the distance they’ll see, that Robert glows brighter the nearer he is to Zahir.

And they’ll never part again. But that’s much further into their future.

For Gods take ages to decide on things because they have ages to second guess.
