#woab

It was your 21st birthday, a day you had dreaded for the longest time. You couldn't help but envy the people out there who got to celebrate it, how they were able to celebrate future birthdays. Not you, not in your world. For this birthday was going to be your last.

Today, you were waiting to see if you were deemed worthy to be part of The Beach, to become a gift for their god. You have seen it happen to others many times, each one as gruesome as the last. You can still remember the last one so vividly, ripped apart by the creature that called the waters home. Poor thing, they never stood a chance. The tentacles wrapped around them destroyed any sign of survival as the waters danced with their blood.

It was rare for someone not to be chosen, but they were met with a harsher fate: shame. No, to be destroyed is to bring blessings, to hold off another mass extinction.

You were born in it, your parents devout followers. There was never a day when you didn't sit in the front row, looking at the high priest as he performed his ritual to the gold and red god. You knew the myth all too well, the story of a man born from the blackest tar in the mountains of Lake Knot. A creation by the goddess of extinction, Amelie, to bring death and darkness throughout the world. She named him Higgs, and oh, he was a mighty force.

He brought fear and violence to the world, cleansing it with time speeding rain and fire from the heavens. He pulled the veil between life and death, causing the dead to walk among the earth. Amelie, now frightened at what she had created, tried to destroy him, but to no avail. Heartbroken at the betrayal, he summoned a great beast made from the same tar he was born in, swallowing her, which caused the first voidout in the world. It is said the body of water near your home is a crater of that very voidout.

He then threatened to bring forth another one, to destroy this earth and wipe out everyone in it. However, anyone who was devoted to him could be spared if they brought a virgin as a sacrifice on their 21st birthday. If they are proven worthy, or doomed as the priest called it, their life would bring peace on the earth and spare humanity once more.

You have heard it many times and seen what happens to one who is doomed. It was something you wanted to avoid; you even contemplated ending your own life but knew it would not be much use. You would often stare up at the statue of Higgs during the rituals, draped in a red and gold cloak, his face pale white with streaks of gold around his eyes and lips. A sinister smile stretched across his face. It was an image that haunted you for many nights as long as you could remember. And it was that very image you were looking at now as you stood there awaiting your fate.

You could hear the priest chanting, wearing a cloak in Higgs's colors. He wore a red mask with gold lashes around the eyes, standing over you and breathing you in. You could feel your heart racing, praying to any deity to spare you. You would much rather have shame than deal with a worse outcome.

"She is doomed," the words cut you. Your heart dropped to the pit of your stomach. You could hear your parents cheer, praising Higgs for blessing them. This was it; you were done.

It all became a blur after that, like your mind drifted somewhere else as they prepared you for the ceremony. They dressed you in the traditional attire, a long red dress. Your hair was braided, and your makeup was almost like Higgs's face minus the smile lines. You could hear everyone praising you as you walked down the path to the opening of the water, thanking you for saving them and telling you how lucky you were to be chosen. You could even see your parents, crying and looking at you as if proud.

"Higgs, the all-mighty god of death, has blessed us once more this day," you heard the priest cry. "Another has been chosen to give their lives so we may live to see another sunset! Bless you, child, your death will not be in vain. You will bring peace into this cruel, undeserving world. May the red and gold god hold you in his sweet embrace!"

You breathe, hearing the drums as you walk into the water. Tears began to run down your cheeks, and the realization of your life ending became stronger with each step. You stop as the water becomes waist-deep, taking one last breath as you look up at the heavens. This was it; who knew what Higgs had in mind for your end? You have seen people get clawed into the water by the beached things. Ripped apart by tentacles or jerked in the air, turning into a blob. Whatever yours was going to be, you could only hope it was quick. That you wouldn't feel a thing.

You could hear a low, frightening growl, but couldn't find the source. You then close your eyes and await your death.

Nothing. You didn't feel yourself being pulled or ripped. You had to open your eyes to see if you imagined it. You were somewhere else, somewhere dark. You couldn't see anything around you, nor feel the ground beneath your feet. Was this it? Did you die?

Just then, you heard someone whistling. You jerked your head around to see what was nearby, but still couldn't see anything. The tune felt so familiar. It was as if you had heard it long ago but couldn't put your finger on it.

"Let that yawn out. There's no pretending…"

The singing voice was male, soothing yet dangerous, like a predator circling their prey.

"I will hold you, and protect you…"

You could feel someone walking behind you, but you didn't dare to look.

"So let love warm you, till the morning…"

Just then, you saw him standing before you, causing your body to tremble in fear. It was him, Higgs. He looked exactly like the statue of the temple, same cloak, same white face with gold tears, same crooked smile stretched across his face. The only thing different was his eyes, blue as a bright summer sky.

"Your mama did sing you a pretty little lullaby," he commented.

You remember the song now. Your mother always sang it to you when you were scared, assuring you everything would be okay as long as you were by her side. It used to calm you down, but not now. Not with the god of death hovering over you.

"You seem nervous," he observed, head tilted in curiosity. "Do I make you nervous?"

You nodded, not daring to lie. He let out a chuckle of amusement, reaching out to wipe your cheek with his gloved thumb.

"Don't be, sweetheart, I'm not gonna hurt you." You found no comfort in his words.

"W-Where am I?" You finally muster to speak. Higgs looked around before looking back at you.

"In the in between," he explained. "Kinda dull, I know."

His face got closer to yours, and a black tentacled tongue slid against your other cheek to capture your tears. A hum of satisfaction coming from him.

"Why don't I take you somewhere more comfortable, hm?"

In the blink of an eye, you are in another place. A temple on the palm of a giant statue. You were surrounded by a dark beach, headstones as far as the eye could see. Above you, smoke-like figures hovered over you in circles.

"There, much better," Higgs's voice pulls you from your thoughts. You were taken aback by the change he made in himself. He looked human, with semi-long light brown hair. The white face you knew all too well was gone. It was now bare except for dark eyeliner around his eyes, golden writings across his browless forehead that you couldn't make out. He was no longer wearing the cloak, but baggy army green pants. His chest was bare, revealing the same gold writings all over his arms and chest. He was…beautiful.

"Relax," he said as he sat on something that resembled a headstone. "You got nothing to fear here."

"What is this place?" You ask him.

"This? This is home, your new home," Higgs replied. "The one we are gonna share for all eternity."

Home? Was this the beach you heard so much about? You didn't move, taking in your new surroundings.

"I don't understand. Did I die?" You felt dumb asking these questions, but you had to know.

"You mean like the other poor souls before you? No, not really anyway. I crossed you over, first time I actually practiced what I preached."

"So…the others? Where are they?"

"Oh, they're dead, lingering around up there," he pointed up at where the figures were. Now you were even more confused. You were supposed to die, to bring blessings to the world. Why were you standing there and not up there like the rest?

"See, I've been around for a long time," Higgs continued. You watch him lie on his side, propping up his head. You tried your best to ignore how his lean muscles twitched as he got comfortable.

"Tens of thousands of years to be exact, just…wandering. And when you live as long as I have, you tend to get bored. That whole thing about sacrificing somebody so I can spare the world from another wipeout? It was just for my amusement. Humans will do just about anything to save their pathetic little hides. And I got an appetite for destruction, so win-win. They've been feeding me very well if I do say so myself."

"So, the other sacrifices…that was just for fun?"

"Yeah," Higgs replied as if surprised you didn't figure it out sooner. "See, extinction is going to happen regardless. Humanity only has a hundred thousand years left tops, like the creatures crawling in the mud before them. They're all lambs to the slaughterhouse, but if they think they can pray away the inevitable, well, who am I to stop them? And who better, certainly better than that ol' bitch who betrayed me."

His voice was bitter, and his eyes got dark at the mere thought of Amelie. You could feel just how deep the hurt was.

"But why me?" You press. "Why spare me from the same thing?"

You could see his face soften, the anger falling away only to be replaced by…sadness.

"Tens of thousands of years, without anyone. Even gods get lonely, darlin'. We crave just like you do; we yearn. I was made out of the purest scum of the earth, molded into everything she wanted me to be: my guiding light, my angel of death. I truly believed we had a bond that was made of stronger stuff. But she thought I was getting out of control. Me, the very thing she ordered to do her dirty work…only to try to destroy me. I loved her, and I swore when I shoved her out of existence that I would never allow myself to be fooled by the stupid notion ever again. That was until I heard you."

He sits back up, his eyes never leaving yours.

"You weren't praying to me, but I still heard you, your pleas to be free. You reminded me of myself. Born under a bad sign, being raised to be a tool for some gain. Just another means to an end. I watched you closely, watched you grow. You weren't blindly devoted; you questioned the environment around you. I found it rather refreshing plus you grew to be just the prettest little thing and I'm a sucker for a pretty face. So, me being me, I did some puppeteering. But all the while, I was working towards my own personal goal."

You watch as he walks toward you, your neck craning to look up at his tall frame.

"Admit it, the thought of being loved by a god is very appealing, don't you think? Think of the power you can have; you would never have to worry about anything, not even death. You will be forever beautiful, forever free. You can watch them all burn into the heaping pile of shit by my side. Poetic justice if you ask me."

You felt your heart leap; you heard the truth in his words. He chose you personally; you were not just another sacrifice. You had feared him all your life, and yet he took you away from it all; he saved you from living there one more day. Saved you from the shame of your parents. Then the realization hit you like a ton of bricks.

Tears formed in your eyes again, not out of fear or sadness. These were tears of relief; you finally felt at peace. Higgs gently hushed you, pulling you in an embrace. You heard him whisper how it was okay, that he had you. You couldn't get over how warm he felt, real. The priest was right all along; his embrace was sweet.

"See? Feels nice, doesn't it?" He smiled in your hair before whispering in your ear. "I can make you feel real nice…"

You gasp, feeling the familiar sensation of his unique tongue caressing the shell of your ear. You could feel yourself throb with want, a moan leaving your lips while he growls in reply.

"That's it, baby, give in to me. Your body is already giving you away, craving me…wanting me, fuck, and you smell so sweet."

He brushes his lips along your jaw before latching onto your neck. A gentle nip here, a suck there along every inch of skin he could reach. His hands are on your hips, pressing your bodies together. You could feel something hard against you; your eyes widen at the realization. Higgs, on the other hand, just chuckles under your skin before pulling away.

"Now that we've got the formalities out of the way. What do you say we consummate this union, huh? Make it official."

Without saying another word, he picks you up into his arms, guiding you over the nearby bed before laying you down. The bed feels like nothing you have felt before: soft, red silk hugging every inch of your body. You sit back up to look at Higgs, and the hungry look on his face makes you feel exposed.

"No need getting shy on me now," his voice deep with desire as if reading you. "All your life, you never liked looking at me. But now? Oh, I got you now, and I'm not letting you look away from me this time."

Higgs reaches to the front of his pants, his sharp blue eyes never leaving yours. You, on the other hand, couldn't help but look away and watch what he was doing. Something he didn't seem to mind since he continued on. Taking his time, he undoes his pants, sliding his thumbs inside the fabric to help pull them down.

Fuck, he really was beautiful, every last inch of him was. Your eyes widen, seeing his cock spring from his pants. The sheer size of him…holy shit. You could feel your mouth water, not wanting to take your eyes off of it. This gains a pleasing moan from Higgs as he takes a step closer. Stroking himself in front of you at a slow pace.

"Like what you see, babydoll?" He asks watching your reaction. "See what you've been doing to me all the way from the other side?"

He then moves on to the bed with you, taking your hand to replace his at the base of his cock.

"It's yours, my body is yours just as yours is mine. Do whatever you want to me."

"I-I never…"

"I know," you could see the tip of the tentacle tongue slide over his lips. "I'll guide you."

And he did, holding your wrist as you stroked his cock. Heavy breathing leaves his lips, his eyes rolled back, followed by a happy moan.

"As much as I like for this to keep going," he pants, looking down at you once more. "I don't wanna lose it just yet, besides…I find my appetite needs something a bit more…sweet."

Higgs pulls your hand away, hovering over your body to lay you back down on the bed. You could feel his hands brush up your legs and thighs, hiking the red dress up until you were fully exposed to him. A blush heating your cheeks, instinct telling you to keep your legs closed, but Higgs was not having it. His hands grab onto your thighs yanking them apart, the look on his face threatening.

"You keep hiding from me I'm gonna hold you down. You understand?"

Your eyes widen, nodding in reply. The sharpness in his eye went away. With a tilt of his head he lifts your legs up, your pussy on full display.

"Look at you, just look at you. Practically dripping for me and I haven't started," he breathed. "Mine, finally it's mine."

Higgs gently scratches your inner thighs, his eyes fixated on you.

"Gotta warm you up, being your first time and all. Luckily for you, I have some tricks up my sleeve."

Your eyes widen as you watch Higgs move further down your body, keeping eye contact with you. He wasn't going to…was he? You can practically feel his breath on you before you see the tentacle once again. The tip flicked against your clit, making you jump. If it weren't for Higgs holding you down, you would have jumped out of bed.

That was a sensation you have never felt before, like raw electricity crashing throughout your body. Your reaction must have been what he was looking for, feeling it happen again.

"So responsive," Higgs observed. "Oh, I knew I made the right choice with you. Do you think you can handle more?"

More? More of what?

Then you feel it, the tentacle sliding inside you. You gasp, gripping onto the bed sheet. You can feel it filling you up, taking deep breaths to adjust to this very new sensation.

Higgs hums in satisfaction, his eyes finally closed as you could feel him wiggle and roll inside you. The very tip curling and brushing a spot that almost had you seeing stars.

"Oh…oh my god…"

Higgs chuckled, pulling away from you with the tentacle out as if panting.

"You're damn right, your god," he smirked at you before diving right back in causing you to cry out. He was relentless, having the alien tongue fuck you while he dug his fingers into your hips. You could hardly move from his grip, but you still rolled your hips with the tentacle. Your pants and moans call out to the dark heavens above you against the wet sounds he was causing. Your orgasm hits you before you even realize it, and a painful cry leaves you.

You couldn't move, couldn't talk. You were just a shell of a person. Never had you felt something this good before. Sex to you was taught as a means of reproduction. No pleasure, no excitement out of it. You never really had any sexual thoughts, come to think about it. You lie there, trying to collect your thoughts as you feel Higgs kissing up your body, taking the dress off you completely.

"And to think, that was just the appetizer," Higgs chuckled as he paid attention to your neck again. "Haven't even made it to the main course yet! But that little death tells me you are more than ready to be thoroughly fucked."

You whimper, feeling Higgs teasing you by rubbing the tip of his cock against your folds. There was no way you had the strength to experience it again if he got you off on his tongue; who knows what he could do with the rest of his body?

"Look at me," he gently demanded. You finally gather the strength to do so, looking at him as you feel him hook your legs with his arms. Neither one of you looked away, Higgs shifted to his knees, and you could feel him slowly push inside you until he bottomed out. Your whimper harmonized with his, watching his eyes flutter back. For a moment, he didn't move, the two of you getting used to the feeling of each other. You feel how full you were by the size of him while hearing him whisper how good you felt to him.

"God damn baby," he breathed. His eyes opened to look down at where you were connected. "You're so perfect…made just for me."

His thrusts were slow and steady, letting you get used to him. It was short-lived, however, because as soon as you let out a deep moan, he picked up the pace. He showed no mercy on you, rough skin slapping echoed in your ears as he fucked you in just the right spot. Your cries chimed in, getting louder with each movement. He wasn't shy about his pleasure either, thick wanton moans leaving his lips followed by raspy whispers.

"That's it, baby…just like that…let them hear it…let them hear how I make you feel."

A new noise pulls you away for a moment, causing you to look up at the figures above you. They were reacting to the union. Everything was, the waves down at the beach below were crashing, getting rougher. Higgs pulls your focus back onto him by letting out a deep growl. It wasn't human, and for a moment, you swore you heard that growl before.

"Mine, all mine…no one else…no one can have you…no one…"

You can feel the familiar climax again, his movements not slowing down.

"Mine to have…mine to fuck…oh fuck baby you're gonna make me cum."

"Please…Higgs please!"

Your knees were almost met by the sides of your face the way Higgs had you. Deep, harsh moans escaped him as his movements were getting sloppy.

"Cum with me, you're almost there I can feel it…"

Then it hits you, much more than before. You scream out his name as he roars out. Heat, raw blazing heat filled you; you were almost sure you had another small climax just by the sensation. Higgs, meanwhile, only stops for a moment as he tries to regain himself. His breathing heavy, eyes closed, like he was basking in the feeling. Finally, he looks down at you, and a smile forms across his face. It wasn't sinister, quite the opposite.

He looked…happy. You couldn't help but smile back at him in the same bliss.

You gasp a bit, feeling him move again. Small whimpers leave you, still being so sensitive and raw.

"Don't wanna waste anything," he finally spoke followed by a happy sigh. "Fuck I can stay in you forever…just keep…mmm keep fucking that pretty pussy until they can hear you on the other side."

You wouldn't mind that at all, you thought. Feeling finally letting go of your legs so you were able to wrap them around him. A gesture he seemed to be very pleased with.

"Feeling's mutual, I take it," he teased. "Don't worry, baby; we've got the rest of time."

He leans forward, capturing your lips in a romantic kiss. It was tender, but still held a bit of passion to it as your tongue moves against his. You both lay there for a moment, basking in the afterglow of each other. He even moved the both of you until you were lying on his chest. Neither one of you says anything, and you could almost feel your eyes getting heavy from his fingers softly brushing your hair.

"Wore you out pretty good, huh?" He teases again, making you blush. However, the tender kiss on top of your head soothes you. "Get some shut-eye, sweetheart, we're gonna need you to save your strength for round two."

You lift your head to look at him in surprise. Higgs, on the other hand, gives you an amused look.

"What? You thought I was kidding? Oh no, I meant it. I have every intention of fucking your brains out until they hear you screaming my name on earth. Show them how to really pray to a god."

A u t h o r ‘s N o t e:

Uhhh, no notes? I'M FINALLY POSTING AGAIN THO⁉️⁉️💯💯🔥🔥

Big art style change? Maybe? Idk...

MIHAWK DOESN'T LOOK TRAUMATIZED ENOUGH IN THE SECOND FUCK

“Do you have to go?”

Higgs had just put on his red cloak as he turned to look at you. You were in bed, still blissed out from the round you two had before he had to get dressed. You had hoped that if you looked at him with pleading eyes, he would prolong his departure. He lets out a sad sigh however, tilting his head at you.

“As tempting as you look right now, the duties of a god are never done.”

He had been called to meet with the others, something he clearly did not want to do. He was in the middle of having a feast between your legs when you noticed a flash of light from a distance. Higgs noticed it too, groaning in annoyance as he lifted his head from you.

“Of all the days for him to show up,” he mutters, looking over his shoulder. “This better be fucking good.”

You looked at him, confused, as he got up and pulled the bedsheet over you.

“Don’t move,” he instructs…but you follow him anyway.

That is when you see the person in question, a rather rough-looking man with the same hair length as Higgs.

“Sam the Man,” Higgs greets in a sarcastic tone. “And what do I owe this grand intrusion into my little beach, hm?”

“Trust me, I don’t wanna be here any more than you want me to,” Sam replies gruffly. “You’ve been called.”

“Have I? Last time I was called, the council was trying to lock me away. So, forgive me if I’m not enthused as to the reason this time.”

“You know good and damn well why that happened, and you sure as shit know why they are calling now. You have fucked up the natural order; there are rules we have to follow.”

You watch as Sam looks over to you while he says it. You could feel your chest tightening, but Higgs keeps you behind him firmly.

“The natural order, huh? Didn’t realize I would cause such a disruption,” Higgs replied.

“Cut the shit, Higgs. You can’t have a living human in the land of the dead. A peasant no less.”

“Ah, ah, ah! Now that is not how we talk about my wife. You’re in my world, Sammy Boy, so I would tread carefully.”

His tone was playful, but held a threat behind it. You could hear the lion tar beast growl nearby, stalking in case of an attack.

“Your union is not recognized by the council,” Sam argues. “Look, we have entertained your little sacrifices, but this can not stand. For her to stay, you have to get permission. You gotta go up there and plead your case.”

“I have nothing to plead,” Higgs bites back. “I wanted her, and I got her. It’s just that fucking simple. I do not have to abide by any rules that have done nothing but stack against me. How do I even know this is not your doing, hm? Still bitter about that sister of yours.”

“Amelie ain’t got nothing to do with this; that connection is long gone. You made sure of that. I’m just delivering the message.”

“Yes, how well do I know that. But fine, I’ll play this little game. So you can click your heels and pop back to wherever you came from and let them know I’ll make a little visit.”

Once you see Sam flash away, you look up at Higgs.

“Who was that?”

“That, my dear, was Sam. He’s a messenger for the gods and a pain in my ass most days,” he lets out a breath before looking back at you. “Seems I have been summoned.”

“Should I be concerned?” You ask, watching him shake his head.

“Oh no, this is a technicality that I should have seen coming. But don’t worry your pretty head over it.”

But you did worry, the way he reacted…how he created extra security before he was about to leave. You couldn’t help but feel a tad nervous. You even express it once more as you watch him get ready.

“You've got nothing to worry about, darlin’,” he assures you. “I’ll go there, play along to their little bullshit game, then I’ll be back home where I belong.”

He walks to you, giving you a gentle touch on your cheek.

“You‘re gonna be a good girl while I’m away, right?”

You nod in reply as you look up at him. He returned to his original look, painted face and all. To think, this image of him used to give you nightmares, but now you find yourself loving it just as much as his true form. He smiles down at you, a warm, loving smile.

“That’s my angel, I’ll be back home before you know it. Now come ‘ere and give me a little kiss to go hm?”

You quickly obliged, meeting him halfway as you two shared a slow, tender kiss, a kiss that got heated, as he clashed his tentacle tongue against yours. You whimper as he pulls away, Higgs lets out a deep groan as the black tip brushes along his lips.

“I'd better see you all ready for me when I get back,” he rasps out. “We got unfinished business.”

And with that, he jumps out of view, leaving you alone to your own devices. You look over at the extra security he created, three giant-like figures standing along the tar waters of the beach. Curious, you walk to the edge of the temple, giving them a little wave and introducing yourself. From the time you have spent here, you knew everything Higgs created was an extension of himself. From the lion beast resting against the shore to the small tar cat you named Kraken. You watch as one of them looks down at you, a deep wail escaping from it as it raises its arm to wave back. It gave you some comfort, as if Higgs was still there with you.

You try to kill time, reading…playing with Kraken…but soon the worry starts to bubble within you. No, you were just being silly. Higgs promised he would come back, maybe the time where he had to go to was different then here. You then thought up an idea, a nice little welcome back for him. An idea you had to think on quickly, because one of the figures pointed outward, indicating Higgs was coming back.

You quickly strip out of the outfit you had on, kneeling to your knees with your hands on your lap. You then watch as Higgs jumps back, walking with purpose.

“Fucking…miserable old fucks. Need to wash this nasty awful stench off-“

He stops midway, taking you in. You look back at him, waiting for him to say something about the position you were in.

“Well now,” his voice, once angry, now dripped with the hot honey you were familiar with. “What do we have going on here?”

“You told me to get myself ready for you when you got back…so here I am,” you reply. You could feel the heat from your body as he scans over your nude body.

“That I did don’t I?” He smirks, taking his cloak off. “I must say, I like the look of this much more than you on the bed.”

He walks closer to you, his movements slow as he continues to drink you in. Your head leans back, looking up at his tall frame. You watch him tilt his head, a look of deep approval and lust all over his painted face.

“There were moments I saw you in this position back at that compound of yours, praying to anyone but me. Even in front of a shrine of me. Now here you are, kneeling right in front of me because you want to.”

A gloved hand brushes along your cheek, causing you to lean more toward it.

“Oh…you sweet, sweet thing. You have no idea how many times I wanted to reveal myself to you, to have you in the way I’ve always craved.”

“I take it you like this idea?” You ask getting a pleased noise out of him.

“Oh, I like this very much,” he breathes. Taking your hand, he guides it toward the very obvious tent in front of his pants. “Wanna see just how much?”

You nod, still looking up at him, your eyes only casting down to watch him undo the front of his pants. The sight of his cock falling out, you could see it practically twitching at attention.

“Take me in, baby, let me feel how you missed me.”

You lean forward, licking the underside of his cock from base to tip. Making sure he could see you lick up the pre cum leaking from his slit.

Higgs lets out a shaking breath, gloved hand gripping the back of your head.

“That’s it…just like that,” he pants. You pop the tip in your mouth, letting out a moan as you slide his length further in until he hits the back of your throat. You catch a reflex, your eyes watering, but you hear him gently hush you.

“Relax your throat a bit, nice and slow…that’s it…just like that.”

You do as he instructs, finally getting the use of him as you begin moving your head into a rhythm. His length felt so hot in your mouth, hard yet soft at the same time. His heavy breathing and moans only encourage you more, taking one of your hands to stroke what you couldn’t reach.

“Fuck baby…ah, fuck…just look at you taking me…oh fuck me…”

The grip on your hair gets tighter, you could feel yourself throb, growing wet with pure want for him. Suddenly, you feel him push further into you, making you stop so he can pump in and out of your mouth.

“That’s it…just let me do it,” he pants out. “So good to me…so fucking good…ah god damn baby you’re gonna make me…shit!”

Your eyes cast up at him, watching him with his head down toward you. His painted face twisted in pure pleasure as you feel him grow more in your mouth. He finally slides out of your mouth, making a loud wet pop from you as he quickly strokes himself, his breath hitching, followed by a deep, guttural groan. You leave your mouth wide open, tongue hanging out as thick ropes of his cum shoot into it.

Drinking him in, you continue to look at him, licking your lips as you do. Higgs, meanwhile, lets out a deep breath, a wide grin breaking across his face.

“You are made from the heavens, you know that?” He rasps out before taking your hand to make you stand up. He then pulls you into a deep embrace, capturing your lips in a heated kiss.

“Mmm, I taste good on you,” he comments, making you giggle in reply.

“How was the visit?” You ask, Higgs rolls his eyes in reply.

“Same mumbo jumbo, but it turned in my favor in the end. But I don’t want to talk about that,” he pulls you up to his arms bridal style. “Right now, I wish to lie down with you and bask in the pure beauty of you.”

You blush at his words, allowing him to carry you into bed. His appearance changes once again, back to the bare face and golden markings. You reach out to cup his cheek, watching him turn to kiss your palm.

“I will say, though, I’m going to have to go back,” that catches your attention. You look at him, worried, but he kisses your forehead.

“Nothing bad, I promise sweetheart. You’re gonna have to go with me after all.”

Okay, now you were confused.

“Why do I have to go with you?” You ask, Higgs just smiles warmly at you.

“Well, it seems for them to leave me in peace. We must solidify our union on their terms.”

“Their terms?” You repeat, Higgs nods in reply.

“I hate big weddings myself, but this will give you a more…official way of becoming immortal with me.”

Your eyes widen. This only makes Higgs chuckle.

“We’ll discuss that later, right now I feel ready to go again.”

Now it was your turn to laugh.

“You are insatiable!”

He just growls playfully at you, pinning you down as he captures your lips again in a deep kiss.

You didn’t remember the last time you had dreams since you were living on the beach. Why do you even have one now? You’re not sure, but it was enough to wreck you.

It felt so real, you sitting on the floor playing with Kraken when Higgs walks in. He was wearing his usual red cloak, his face painted, but something was different. He looked at you so…angry. He had never looked at you in anger before, stern maybe, but not this.

“What the fuck are you doing here?” He asks you, making you look at him with a confused expression on your face.

“What are you talking about?” You ask in reply, but he suddenly jerks you to your feet.

“Get out of here, you fucking pest!” He yells out, throwing you onto the ground. “How dare you sit in my home like you own the fucking place?!”

“Higgs…I don’t understand. What have I done?” You beg, but he tries to kick you; Kraken hisses behind him, as if egging him on.

“You don’t belong here, you are not a goddess, nor will you ever be!”

You could feel tears in your eyes, still not understanding what was going on, until you felt a presence behind you.

She was dressed in all red, with long blonde hair. Looking down at you with fake pity.

“Poor thing, she truly believed you loved her,” she spoke with a giggle. You could hear Higgs cackle in reply.

“What a ridiculous thought. Me, in love with a human!”

“Higgs, please!” You cry, the woman now next to Higgs, as they both start laughing.

“Pathetic little thing she is,” the woman sneered. “Don’t you get it? You are a sacrifice, nothing more. You are meant to die for The Last Stranding, to feed us!”

Suddenly, a large tentacle shoots out from the beach. Grabbing you and begins pulling you, you could feel your muscles rip…your bones cracking.

Just like the sacrifice you saw before it was your turn.

You then wake up in a panic, taking in your surroundings. You were in bed, still “night” out. Higgs was lying beside you, sound asleep; you had not woken him from the jerk, it seemed. You lie back down, your nerves coming back to you. It was all a dream, but what an awful dream it was. Hearing those words leave his lips. The same lips that kissed you, told you how much he adored you. Tears formed in your eyes, trying your best not to wake him as you tried to ground yourself.

Suddenly, you feel his arm wrap around you, pulling you tightly towards his chest as he nuzzles into your neck.

“Why are you crying?” He mutters.

“Oh! It’s-It’s nothing, just had a bad dream is all,” you assure him. Higgs didn’t seem to buy it; you could feel him sitting up before pulling you up to face him.

“You don’t get upset over a bad dream…what’s wrong, darlin’?”

You take a breath, embarrassed to look at him. You could feel the tips of his fingers under your chin to make you have eye contact. After a moment of keeping your eyes closed, you finally look at him. Taking in the beautiful being right before you, how gentle he looked. A far cry from the angry look you dreamt up.

“I…I had a dream that you kicked me out…told me you didn’t love me.” Saying the words out loud made you feel heat in your eyes again. “That you…you couldn’t possibly love a human like me…”

Higgs tilts his head at you, his bright blue eyes looking at you with such tenderness.

“Well now, you and I both know that ain’t true,” he replies. “Practically kiss the ground you walk on.”

You let out a small laugh, looking down at your lap.

“There was someone else there. Some…woman dressed in red…she was mocking me, calling me nothing but a sacrifice.”

The look on Higgs’s face changed, a flash of anger across his face, making your heart stop.

“Hmph, Amelie would try to ruin shit from beyond the grave,” he muttered, rolling his eyes. “Sounds like to me you had one hell of a dream, would scare my goose good.”

“I’m being ridiculous, I know,” you argue, but he gently hushes you, taking your hands in his.

“You hush that now, it’s not ridiculous at all,” he assured you. “Nothing that gets you upset is.”

“You…you would tell me right? If you didn’t want me anymore,” you gently ask. Higgs then lets out a sigh, shaking his head at you as if you said the silliest thing he had ever heard.

“Now, baby, why on earth would I go and do a thing like that?” He asks. “You’ve awoken something in me that I thought died long ago. Make me feel like a spring chicken again.”

You couldn’t help but laugh; maybe that was his plan all along because he hums happily, moving to sit right behind you.

“There’s my pretty smile,” he coos. Wrapping his arms around you as he pulls you close to his chest again. “Don’t like seeing my baby upset, hurts my heart.”

This was the Higgs you knew, not that cruel monster in your dream. You couldn’t help but let out a relieved sigh, basking in his warmth. You could feel his lips press gentle kisses along your neck and shoulders, making you lean back, wanting more.

“You should never worry about how I feel about you, ever,” he tells you against your skin. “You are my guiding light, my everything. You and me? We got a bond that could shake the entire cosmos. Even if I hadn’t played a hand in that whole doomed thing, I would have found a way to get you. You belong here, with me. And now that I got you, I ain’t letting you go for nothing.”

“I love you,” you say the words. Words you had not said before. You didn’t feel the need to at first; Higgs was right about the bond you both shared. You could sense how he felt in his words and actions as you to him. But now, you felt you needed to say it. You wanted him to know that you did love him, even though he clearly knew how you felt. You turn your head, looking at him, only to softly gasp.

The look he gave you, you couldn’t help but see the flood of emotions rushing all over him. He looked vulnerable; you could even see a black tear running down his cheek.

“Higgs?” You gently call to him, placing your hand on his cheek.

“I never thought hearing those little words would shake an old thing like me,” he breathes. “Yet there you go, rattling me to the core.”

He then moves you so you are completely facing him, your legs wrapping around his waist as he runs his fingers through your hair.

“I truly thought I would never love anything ever again. But you, sweet…perfect you.”

“I’m not perfect,” you argue, a blush forms on your cheeks.

“You are perfect, and you’re mine…all mine.”

He pulls you into a deep kiss, taking your breath away at how passionate it was. It was as if he wanted to devour you; the growl that leaves him only cements it. You let out a pleading moan against the kiss, which seemed to fuel him more as he bucks his hips against you. You let out a gasp, releasing the kiss as you press your forehead against his.

“Please,” you rasp out.

“Please, what?” He asks, a lustful glint in his eyes. “Tell me what you want.”

“I…I want…Higgs, please,” you huff, but he smirks at you in reply.

“I do love seeing you all hot and bothered for me,” he comments before adjusting himself to slide you onto him. You gasp out as the fullness of him, gripping his shoulders as his moan mixes with yours.

“There it is,” he breathes. “Right where you need to be.”

You try to move, but he holds your hips, making you whimper at the feeling of him.

“Just feel me, baby…just feel me,” he gently instructs. “Feel what you always do to me.”

You whimper, your face twisting in pleasure as your head leans back. When you finally feel him move, you let out a pleasing moan.

“Oh, I know, baby, believe me, I know,” Higgs let out a small moan himself as he leaned his forehead against your chest. “I feel it too, your warmth…how tightly you just…wrap around me like a hand in a glove.”

His movements are slow, guiding you to move up and down against his cock. Your panting matches his soft grunts. You could feel his lips kiss along your skin, capturing a nipple in his mouth to give it a sensual suck. The sensation alone made your eyes roll back as a wanton moan leaves you.

“I could never get tired of hearing you, those little sounds you make.” He mumbles as he moves his head to give the other nipple the same attention. “Hearing how much you want me…”

He looks back up at you, his hand sliding up to cup your cheek. “Say it again.”

“I love you…oh fuck Higgs, I love you so much.”

Your nails dig into his skin, causing him to moan at the slight pain. The pad of his thumb brushes along your lips before you capture it in a small suck.

“You little minx,” he grins. His hips meet yours, causing you to gasp again. “But you’re my little minx, aren’t you? Waited all my existence for you and didn’t even realize it.”

“Higgs…I’m…I’m…”

“I know, want me to really give you what you want? Me fucking you into pure oblivion?” He asks, pinning you back down on the bed before you get the chance to answer. His movements were relentless, skin slapping on skin while you cry out to whatever heaven could hear.

“Cum for me…let me feel it…oh fuck baby,” he growls. Practically slamming into you, making you almost go lightheaded. You cry out his name, over and over like a prayer, until your orgasm finally hits you. You were practically screaming, clawing down his back, which was enough to have him roaring out your name in his climax.

You let out a deep breath as you feel his heat wash over you, looking up at him while he hovers over you. His eyes were closed, as if savoring the feeling of you. Finally, when he does open his eyes, you see it. The love, the pure love he had for you. The passion and devotion practically shone in his eyes.

You could feel tears in your eyes again, but not the tears of hurt or sadness from before. No, this was joy, relief. This man, this god, loved you just as much as you loved him. He must have sensed it, capturing your lips again in a heated kiss.

“The next time you feel even a hint of doubt, you tell me. And I will fix it right out of you,” he tells you. “I never want you to doubt my love for you, my obsession over you…understand?”

I would like to tell you about the time Higgs decided to impress you, not that you needed to be impressed but he liked showing off. It was one day, as you were reading ancient tomes from his personal library. He walks up to you, giving you a tender kiss on top of your head to get your attention. You look up at him, greeted by his gentle smile.

“I wanna show you something,” He tells you, his fingers stroking your hair. You look at him, confused, but he doesn’t say anything else. Taking your hand and walking you toward the beach. You haven’t had much time to explore your new home, a fault he will take responsibility for. He didn’t feel sorry about it, though; he had forever to show you around, so there was no rush.

The two of you reach the edge of the tar water, him walking out a bit further before looking back at you. With a wink, he holds out his hand, the tar coming alive and shooting up in the air. You watch as it begins to twist and form, and a large lion-like beast roars out to the heavens. A bright golden mask stares down at Higgs while he gently hushes the creature.

“Easy, easy there, buddy…I know it’s been a while…but you’re okay.”

He then turns back to you, holding out his hand for you to take. You take your time, looking up at the creature, as he guides you closer to it.

“He won’t hurt you,” Higgs assures you. You can hear it growl at you, but it wasn’t threatening. With the other hand, you reach out towards his golden face. You couldn’t help but smile as it met you halfway and pressed against you. It then begins to purr, a sensation that makes you giggle.

“See? He likes you,” Higgs whispers to you, and you swear you could feel there was more to it in his words. You pet its head, doubtful it could even feel it, but it reacted like it did.

“My very first creation,” Higgs explains. “Me and this ol’ boy have been through a lot together. Caused the first voidout, didn’t you, big guy?”

Your eyes widen. This was the creature that caused it?

“This is the beast that swallowed Amelie?” You ask, you could see Higgs flinch at the name, but he nods. “I’m sorry…I didn’t mean to mention her.”

“Don’t be, it hurts less over the years…kinda feels like a pinched nerve now at the sound of her name.”

He looks back at you, a loving smile dancing across his features.

“Plus I got you now, won’t have to feel the pain anymore.”

Your heart skips at his words, smiling back at him in return before focusing your attention on the beast who was trying to get your attention back.

“He’s a part of me, everything I feel he can feel, just like all of my creations.”

“I like him,” you declare. You can hear a noise of approval coming from the beast. “Can he stay out here? He doesn’t have to leave, just…roam around free.”

“Hm, not a bad idea,” Higgs muses. “He has been sleeping for a while. Look at that, buddy, your mama wants to keep you around!”

The beast seemed to like the idea too, roaring happily as it began to run along the water. You laugh at the sight, not paying attention to Higgs, who was looking at you lovingly.

“You know, that’s not all I can create,” he points out. “I can make anything you want.”

“Like a cat?” You joke.

“Of course,” he replies. “Just say the word, and I can get a cute little kitty for you.”

You didn’t believe him, giving him a small laugh. It wasn’t until later on that night that you saw a small tar cat resting on the bed. Once it senses your presence, it leaps up, wings sprouting from its body as it lands in your arms.

“Well, hello, cutie!” You gush. “Where did you come from?”

It meows at you, licking your arm with a small tentacle tongue. Of course, another creation from Higgs. Honestly, you shouldn’t be surprised he kept true to his word.

“How about I call you Kraken, huh?” The cat meows again, head butting your chin with a purr.
