Work Text:
Pebbles is searching for data, anything really, they just don't want to be kicked out.
It doesn't matter to them that their side is stinging, burning, protesting for medical attention. They don't want to be alone.
Anything but that. They can't go back to being alone. They'd been living on their own in the hell that is the Hadal Blacksite for too long, probaby, what, 3 years? Living off of vending machine food, causing them to gain quite a bit of weight.
How they got here is a story of it's own, one they don't like to think about.
Tldr; they're trapped down here as an experiment. A puppy-girl/boy -esque creature, with gills. A critter, if you would.
Their canine like ears twitch as a loud noice reverberates in the distance and they duck into a room. They know the creatures well by now and they cover their sensitive ears as the angler speeds past, the walls shaking.
They wait it out, and after a few minutes they peek outside. They notice the hallway is empty, and they quickly scan their surroundings. They scope out the room, fidgeting with their flashlight, stuffing any data in their bag.
They crouch down into the vent keeping their flashlight up as they crawl through. They have a general idea as to where Sebastian's shop is. They venture through a couple of the rooms, and yup, they're lost.
They see a familiar server room... They know where they are. They open the door, peeking in.
"Painter!" They whisper loudly to the AI, closing the door behind them. The computer's doodled face makes a dramatic display of rolling his eyes.
"Oh... It's the mutt." He scoffs, making an act of pretending to be disappointed, but he makes a motion with his face that mimics shaking his head, despite it being stuck in place.
"Any updates?" He asks, his sketched eyes squinting.
"No, unfortunately." They sigh, frowning.
They hate how their boyfriend treats p.AI.nter. They don't think he deserves to be led on like this.
But it is what it is.
"Ah... Tell him I say hi when you decide to head out." He says, voice slightly dejected.
They nod. "Yeah, I will." They respond, smiling sadly.
They relate to the computer the most in this hell, ironically. While yes, he hadn't gone through the experimentation they had, hell, one may say them and Sebastian are more similar in that way, but... They longed to draw, and to be useful. And the sneaking suspicion Sebastian is just using them too.
They stand up, yawning, making sure the research they've collected is secured. They wave to the old pc, and the doodled face smiles, bidding them farewell.
They wander around, hands a bit shakey.
They eventually find the shop, sighing in relief, crawling into the vent. They look up at the large blue scaled man.
Ah yes, Sebastian. Their boyfriend. If they could even call him that. He hardly shows affection, and is quite snappy. He's very... Mean, to put it lightly.
"'m back. Painter says hi." Their voice is small as they speak to him.
"... You saw him? That's a long way from the shop. Are you hurt at all?" His voice is slightly irritated.
They nod, softly. "I um- Also didn't get a lot of research, 'm sorry. Please don't kick me out.." They add that last part quietly.
Sebastian sighs, irritated. He moves some of his items off the table so they can sit, and they do so. They hop up onto the table, lifting their sweater so he can inspect the wound.
"You keep being vocally insecure about me kicking you out, I will. Don't test me." He says. He doesn't mean it. But Pebbles is none the wiser.
He's been really snappy lately. And they don't know why- They feel like they're walking on eggshells.
"'m sorry." They whisper, eyes tired, their body achey and physically exhausted.
"Just.. Shut up so I can tend to your wounds."
They close their mouth and keep their shirt lifted.
Inside Sebastian's mind, every alarm is going off. He's supposed to be using them, not falling for them...
But yet he is. And he, for the life of him, cannot figure out why.
They're annoying, brash, hell, even stupid! They used to irritate him, so why is his brain switching up on him?! And why on earth is he taking it out on them?
They don't deserve this. He knows they don't- God they don't. They were sent here for a legitimate reason, murder. But it was out of self defense, it was framed as planned, and they were sent to death row.
Until Urbanshade scooped them up, tinkered with their dna, like him, and dumped them down in the blacksite.
They've told him the story. Every time he thinks about it, empathy fills his being.
It wasn't supposed to happen.
He wasn't supposed to actually fall in love-
"Ow!-" They yelp, snapping him out of his thoughts.
"Quit whining, I'm working on it." His voice is slightly aggressive, but he gentles his motions. Pebbles body looses a bit of the tension, and he finishes patching them up.
"Better?" He asks, still annoyed.
"Yeah.. Um, here's the data I collected." They give him their bag, and he sucks a hiss through his teeth.
"Yeah... Not the best run you've gone on. Though there is some useful information here, it's... It's not a lot." He tries his best to sound normal about it, but he's stressed.
He, in all reality, hadn't planned on getting close to them, or the AI. But he's getting soft. Mushy, even.
He wants to gag, but sighs.
"I'm really sorry... I wasn't- I wasn't trying to get so little.."
"Would you SHUT IT?" He growls.
He didn't mean to snap. But he can't stop himself from going further. All the things in his brain are boiling over.
"All you do is NAG and fucking... Bitch about being scared of me kicking you out! You ever listen when I tell you I WON'T?" He continues.
They stand there, stunned.
"I understand you want to be useful! But fuck man, you keep yapping off in my ear and it gives me no room to think!"
They stare at him, eyes wide. Their throat is dry. Words won't come out.
"Oh." Their voice is soft, on the verge of breaking. "I think... I think I'm going to go stay with Painter for a bit."
That's where Sebastian is shocked. Why did he snap? Why at the one person he wasn't supposed to?
"Fine... See if I care." He huffs.
So the grab their very few items, and carefully trek their way to p.AI.nter. They push open the door, then close it behind themself.
"Oh! You're back...! With.. Things. Why?"
They slump against the wall infront of the cage like room p.AI.nter is in.
They just cover their face, soft sniffling emitting from them.
"Oh! You're- Oh- Um...! Please don't cry!" The AI panics at their sudden show of negative emotion.
"I made him mad-" They choke out. "I don't know why I'm so upset about it..."
p.AI.nter is speechless. He isn't equipped to deal with human emotions, he's just getting a grasp on his own...
"I'm sure he isn't too mad! Cheer up..!"
They wipe at their eyes frantically. "He is, though! He's never gotten like this... I..." They hiccup. "Am I really that useless to him?" They whimper, voice shakey.
Their computer companion has a sad doodled on expression.
"I don't think you are! You do a lot for us...! I'm sure he'll come around..." He speaks, his voice unsure.
Sebastian was a... A guy who's next reaction is pretty hard to read, if you're close to him. You'd never know the next time he'd snap, and p.AI.nter is no stranger to this.
"I'm sure he will." His voice takes on a more sure tone. Sebastian loves Pebbles, doesn't he? And p.AI.nter doesn't want Sebastian to be upset with him, so the three can get back up to the surface together! So.. He'll encourage Pebbles!
"Maybe you should talk to him...! Work it out?" Pebbles huffs, shaking their head. "... 'm too petty to do that." The computer makes an exasperated noise.
"But you just-!" He stutters, audibly confused. He lets out a groan. "You two are sooo annoyyyyiiinnnngggg! Humans and their weird emotions and pettiness!" Pebbles giggles at this, wiping their eyes.
"Care if I crash here for a bit?" They ask, softly.
p.AI.nter's face nods. "Of course not!" He confirms. "It's not the best here, but, you know!"
"Yeah." They set up their little... Bedding situation next to the cage, but not near the sparking door.
A shitty yoga mat someone left behind for some reason, their pillow, and a shitty little sheet to cover themself with.
"Comfy?" The computer asks, chuckling.
"As much as I can be without a bed." They mumble. "You'll wake me if there's an expendable, right?" They yawn, getting comfy.
"Of course." He confirms. "Goodnight."
They pass out after that.
~♡~
The next few days, or weeks, they can't tell, they spend with p.AI.nter.
He's sweet as hell to them, if not a little snarky.
They don't mind, they enjoy the AI's company. They open up to him, about why they were locked up, and certain childhood memories.
The two are bonding, and they're both... Kinda enjoying it!
The two are currently discussing something, Pebbles talking animatedly whilst eating cooked wall dweller chunks. p.AI.nter suddenly seems... Worried about something.
"What? Pandemonium coming this way or something?"
"No, no... Sebastian is, actually. He doesn't look very happy."
Pebbles pales at this. "Hey so um...! Protect me if something happens!" They panic, voice shaky.
"What do you want me to do? I'm not hurting him!"
"I mean like, lock the door if he-"
The door opens, and they shut up.
"Hey Painter. Mind if I take this puppy off your hands?" He jokes to the computer, as if nothing had happened at all.
"Yeah, go ahead." He smiles.
"Painter! I trusted you!" they gasp, in mock offense, but Sebastian picks them up by the back of their shirt, putting them over his shoulder like a sack of potatoes. He grabs their belongings, and brings them with him to his little hideout.
"Ok. We need to talk." He takes a deep breath. "There's- A lot of shit on my chest that I need to get out, and I'm absolutely garbage at expressing shit." He sighs, shakily.
Pebbles nods, sitting down on the cold, hard floor. They look... Nervous.
"Ok... I'm not going to sugarcoat anything- I was using you."
They look like they've been punched in the gut. They were right.
"I- I know that's fucked up. You should know by now I'm not a good person." He sounds ashamed.
"I trusted-"
"I'm- Let me talk. Let me finish. Please." He says, a soft pleading tone in his frustrated voice.
Pebbles' breath trembles, but they nod.
"I was using you. And Painter. I- I know it's shitty. But you guys- You guys got to me and I feel genuine care or something? When you left I felt- I felt fucking terrible. I didn't like it that I was the one that made you cry." He takes a deep breath once again.
"I actually think I love you. And... I'm not just saying that because I can. I understand that- That saying this has probably ruined everything between us, but- I wanted you to know."
He finishes his word vomit, his top two hands fidgeting.
Pebbles looks like they're going through the 5 stages of grief repeatedly.
"I... I don't know what to say." They speak, softly. "I appreciate you telling me this, but you're.. You're right. This has broken my trust." They whisper.
Sebastian nods, looking away.
"I... I am willing to give us another shot. For real this time.." His voice is low, and unsure.
Pebbles rubs their forehead, sighing. "Don't make me regret it."
He gently reaches out to touch their face. He's never touched them like this, period.
"Is this ok? Am I... Am I allowed to touch you?" He questions in a soft voice.
Pebbles' tail betrays them by wagging. They nod, softly.
The giant scaled man presses a kiss to their head, his hands so much bigger than their face.
The action makes them flush red.
Yeah.. Maybe this time will work out.
~♡~
The two begin building their trust over the weeks again.
And you know what?
Pebbles is glad he told them. Because now, there's gradually increasing physical affection, talking, openness. (As much as the emotionally constipated fish man can give, at least.)
He's still snarky, and sassy, but that's a given, it's a part of him.
And they are elated. They thrive on communication. Well, any good couple does, but they love to know what's going on in his head. What they're doing right and wrong.
Right now, they're seated in the middle of his coiled tail, slumped against him.
They're going through some of the files, humming.
It's been about three months since the little incident went down, and life is better. As better as it can get, of course...
"I've been meaning to ask you something." Sebastian speaks up.
They look up at him, tilting their head.
"Do you like... Do you ever want to fuck? "
The bluntness hits them like a truck, their cheeks heating up and giving them a red flush.
It makes sense, poor guys been pent up for literal years. But they've never seen his genitalia. And they're a virgin! They've touched themself before, but... Never this. They're terrified, his hands are huge, so his penis must be huge..
"Yeah... I think. What brings this on?-"
"Can we? It's all I've been thinking about. All week..." asks, face suddenly closer, breath warm against their canine ear.
"Um... Um... I want to! Don't get me wrong, but... I'm.. I'm kinda a virgin?"
Sebastian goes silent, but then snorts. "That's what you're worried about? You know foreplay exists for a reason, yeah?" He laughs, softly.
"You... You don't mind?"
"Silly boy... No, not at all. It might take a bit to prep you for my size, but that's ok." He kisses their forehead. They feel all fuzzy inside. They smile up at him.
"Then.. Um, yes. I want to." They are flushed red, but they feel excited.
"I'll take good care of you..." He props them up onto his tail.
Their breath hitches as he slowly pulls down their pants, along with their underwear, their cunt getting wet already. He gently presses a few kisses to their lips, and they reciprocate.
They don't want to admit how excited they're getting.
"So pretty... " He gently runs his thumb through their folds, admiring their sex.
They squeak, embarrassed. He shuts them up before they can say anything with a kiss, hotter and wetter than the first few.
They whimper against his lips, and clumsily kiss him back. He gently slips his tongue into their mouth, they pant against him, only bringing him closer, closer.
He tugs off their shirt, and fumbles with his own, getting frustrated. They laugh, helping him with a few of his buttons despite their jittery-ness.
Once this is over, he immediately dives back into the kiss, breathing heavy out his nose.
They feel their need and arousal pool in their tummy, and they know he can smell them. They can smell themself... It's rather embarrassing.
But they need this man raw and carnally, asap.
They pull away, panting, the saliva connecting them for less then a second.
Sebastian admires the whimpering, messy person in front of him.
"God, I wanna wreck you, puppy..." He spits onto their sex, still softly exploring.
"Guuuh.. That feels weird." They say, softly. He snorts, but slowly begins rubbing their clit with his pointer and middle fingers, the spit servicing as extra lubrication.
Their hips jerk, and they gasp. "You- I-" They pant. They're so sensitive, he notes, mentally.
"I what, baby girl? Does that feel good?" He taunts, knowing the answer just by how their body is reacting, their tail wagging.
"Yes... 's real good-" Their breath is heavy and ragged, they never realized how much they needed his touch.
"That's good.." They realize his voice is farther now, lower-
Their thought is interrupted by his tongue slowly entering their pussy.
"Oh!-" They cover their mouth, squealing.
He groans, stretching them open with his tongue. His tongue is much longer than a human's, thanks to his mutations, and for once, he doesn't mind them as much, if this is how just his tongue makes them react.
He pulls it out briefly to lick along their entire cunt, back to front, paying attention to their clit, flattening out his tongue to lick a long stripe against it.
And gods above, they are seeing stars. Their legs sit tense on his shoulder from the immense stimulation they're receiving.
He fucks his tongue back into their pussy, moaning at the taste. He uses his thumb to rub their clit, adding to the pleasure, and they whine at this.
"I'm- I'm getting close-" They pant, gripping his hair.
He hums in acknowledgement, grunting as he feels their pussy clench around his tongue, only increasing his motions.
Their back arches as they cum, a load moan emitting from them.
He works them gently through their orgasm, pulling away softly.
"Was that good?" He chuckles. "Mmmyeah." They say, blissed out, tail wagging.
"You wanna go further, or are you too tired? I'm ok with stopping." It's the truth, that was very satisfying for him.
"No... Want you to finish too.." They whisper, needy.
"You sure? I don't mind if you're too tired." He says, rubbing their hip.
"Please, I want you..." They plead.
"Ok... You asked for it." He smirks, tilting their chin up with his claw.
Their breath hitches, and he hoists them up onto his tail, and he pets their hair.
He slowly strokes his slit, coaxing out his two cocks.
Both are a light blue in colour, the tips darker blue, with bumps along the lower side. The top one is around 8 inches, and the bottom one is around five. Both are girthy, but the top one is girthier. Below is what looks like a pussy, signified by the little nub above a hole.
They pale, and he wheezes, laughing softly. "I'm not making you take both, don't worry."
They visibly relax.
"Yet." He teases, and spreads their pussy. They tense again, but only for a second.
"Look at you. So wet and pretty for me, god, I wanna devour you.." He says, cocks throbbing.
He slowly runs his bottom length from the front, to their hole.
He's being a tease. They whimper, and squirm.
He's glad his tongue stretched them out that much. He rubs their side, and slowly eases them down. Their breath becomes shaky, the stretch burning slightly.
"Relax, pretty girl, I've got you." He says, softly. They finally suck up his full bottom length into their cunt, and their velvety walls flutter around him, making him suck a breath through his teeth.
"Tight." He growls under his breath. "Let me know if you need to stop, ok?" He says, eyes meeting theirs.
"Mhm.. I will.." They say, the burn gradually fading. They whimper, hips jerking slightly. "You can- It's-" They huff, panting.
He starts a sensual, slow pace at first, moving them softly. He's strong, able to hold them comfortably as he moves them up and down on his cock.
He can't keep us this slow pace. It slowly gets faster, and sloppier.
And they're whimpering and moaning as he pounds into them like a fleshlight.
"Fuck puppy, you're so good for me, you know that? So fucking good-" He pants, his upper cock rubbing against their clit, making them bite their lip.
"Fuck, Sebby- Sebastian, it's- Again, I'm gonna cum-!" They pant, and he growls as they clench around him.
"Mhm? Gonna come for me again? Do it- Do it for me baby boy!" He gasps as they clench, squirting around his cock. His pelvic area is wet, and he groans, the sight and feel and fucking everything sends him over the edge, pulling out, both his cocks throbbing with each drop of cum that spills out onto their tummy.
And it's a lot. Makes sense, again, this guy was really pent up. They fall onto his chest, and the two are left panting.
Sebastian chuckles at their blissed out form on top of him, and slowly rubs their back.
"You ok?" He snorts, and they nod.
The two soak in the post orgasm glow, just enjoying eachother's presence. It's not long before Sebastian sets them somewhere comfortable, and slithers off very quickly.
He's back with a cloth, and a bucket of water.
As he gently wipes them down, he lets out soft praises, kissing their forehead.
They're passed out after this, and he chuckles. He coils his long tail around them, adjusting them so they're comfortable.
He gently pets their hair, admiring them whilst they sleep, and slowly, he drifts off as well.
