“I’m not going to throw you.” Horst replied in a gentle tone, keeping his arm firmly around Molly as he dragged her to the heavily insulated door. There were multiple signs warning them to keep out, that there was danger. But Horst didn’t need a sign to tell him what he already knew– the fine hairs on his arms were already standing on end from the static charge in the air. He wasn’t sure what a large amount of electricity would do to him. While Horst knew he would not die, he also knew that it would not be a pleasant experience. “What if I just sort of ease you past the door and set you down? My shoes have sensible rubber soles..”

"You can't go in there--" Molly knows that he's unlikely to listen. It's not to be contrarian; Horst was simply too good to do so. Too protective. Too gentlemanly, if there was such a thing. Just as he was unlikely to just toss her inside and close the door, he wasn’t likely to leave her on her own in this state.

One of these days, she’d get the hang of not endangering everyone else around her, too.

     There was... something about him that struck her as familiar. He had the build of an active athlete, which she saw on a daily basis, but it was more than that. Maybe the way he carried himself? Alice couldn’t be sure. Until the moment he turned around and she saw the stunning blue-green of his eyes. There was no mistaking those. And it had her walking up to him.

The moment had passed all too soon, and Horst ended his kiss as gently as he was able-- a soft press of his influence to erase any memory she might have of a certain sharpness behind his lips. If she did happen to notice two tiny marks on her throat in the morning, well, it would be easy enough to believe them mosquito bites. In the short time he had gotten to know her, she seemed like a sweet person with a big heart. The last thing Horst wanted was to hurt her-- there would be no subsequent midnight visits. "Mm, are you alright? You've gone all wobbly-kneed." He murmured, lifting his head just enough to look down at her with a rogueish smile. The warm light from the park's tall lamps illuminated his features in colors now warmed by stolen blood. His cheeks rosy. "I think I saw a bench not too far back. Would you like to sit a moment?"

She gave a small hum, her eyes heavy and dazed as she looked up into his face, fingers curled into his sleeves. He's right, of course; had he not been holding her, Ellie might very well have melted into the ground in a puddle. That irresistible smile of his is met with a dreamy, albeit sheepish one of her own.

"Y-yes. Yeah, I...I'm okay. I'm sorry." She gave a breathy sort of laugh, shaking her head lightly as though it would make the lightheadedness ease faster. "I'm sorry, I don't...usually get this way. Well, it's not that I kiss a lot of people. Well, I don't not kiss people, I just..."

His hands wandered her curves, and he tried to focus on anything that wasn't her heartbeat.

"Ah, Moll.. maybe.. maybe we should stop..."

|| Horst is in a mood apparently

There was never a reason to question how they'd ended up here--it was how they always ended up here. Neither needed much coaxing, as Horst sought her softness and warmth, Molly his strength and certainty.

Her head tilted to allow him whatever access he wanted to her throat, arching into his touch and nearly forgetting that he could potentially tear her apart if he wanted. There was never danger with Horst, even if it thrummed beneath every breath like a current.

Only to nearly drop the whole thing the moment he laid eyes on her.

[his Queen.]

"Um." In that moment, Horst had completely forgotten why he was there. He looked lost; staring intensely at the shop girl. Mouth agape.

"I uh.. my friend-- I'm sorry, may I begin again? My friend told me that you might be interested in some things. I'm, uh, cleaning out my attic, and-- ----I'm sorry, but have we met before?"

in which seras is kiLLING me

Well, it wasn't the usual greeting she received by any means, but probably not the first time someone looked at her like she had three heads. Molly wanted to think it was simply because she was just that ridiculously good-looking, but somehow that didn't seem to fit the bill.

The lopsided smile in greeting was replaced with one of puzzled concern as the large man all but dropped the box in his arms.

Oof, there was something about that accent, wasn't there?

"Mm, don't think so." She finally replied, the crooked grin returning slowly. Then, hoping to ease the awkwardness, "I think I'd remember those eyes, at least."

HORST IS A DAMN ANGEL AND WE DON’T DESERVE HIM

“Babe, you’ve already done so much--” She couldn’t help laughing a little, reaching to brush at his cheek to rid it of flour and...was that pumpkin? No. Maybe? Standing on her toes, she pressed a kiss to the cleaned spot.
