    Summary

    Trapped in the sky and his second-worst fear, Caleb had almost – almost – managed to content himself with watching the love of his life live hers as she saw fit, even if that meant tolerating her relationship with her mysterious new boyfriend. At least, that's what he'd convinced himself... until the day she strode onto that Fleet airstrip.

    Now that she's within reach once more, Caleb is determined to never let her go again.

    What he doesn't account for, however, is his own unexpected history with said boyfriend, and Sylus' firm belief that there are always more solutions than there are problems...

    Or: The three of them find out that love is not a finite resource, and Sylus gets a puppy to match his kitten.

    Summary

    Caleb would do anything if you asked. All while keeping his thoughts on the straight and narrow. At this point, he could probably see you naked and not react in any way other than to tease you. It was a bit sad, him realizing that he’d almost perfected becoming the version of himself he wanted to be. That he had to be. But that was for the best.

    Because brothers didn’t want to fuck their sisters.

    “You know I’ll always take care of you.” He said, stroking your hair. “You work so hard, between raising Ash and working.”

    “Don’t say that like you don't help.” You chuckled, looking a bit downcast. “You’re here all the time. I shouldn't be so tired. You’re practically Ash’s dad.”

    His already crushed heart collapsed completely. But on the outside, he gave you a polite smile. “He’s the best nephew a man could ask for. And he loves you so much. He even chose your favorite flavor for his birthday cake.”

    “That silly boy.” You sighed, nuzzling into Caleb’s side. Soon after, you were asleep again. And Caleb just watched. A sentinel made just for you, and who was happy to extend all of his protectiveness to your son. A son with green eyes. Not purple.

    And that was how it was always meant to be.

    Or.

    Summary

    Before Caleb met his adopted sister and love of his life, he was alone in EVER's lab.

    As children do, he sought comfort where he could.

    Or: an elaboration on how Caleb learned that affection is earned through pain, and that suffering is the greatest gift he can offer.

    Summary

    “What a great plan,” you say. “An unmarked omega in heat in the same house as an unmarked alpha.”

    Caleb stiffens. “I would never harm you.”

    “Then are you hoping I’d ask you for help instead, Colonel?” Your voice turns saccharine. “Oh, won’t you see me through my heat? It hurts so much. I need you so badly, alpha.”

    Caleb takes a step back as you advance on him. His throat bobs. Everything has been made explicit with your words. One: you’re an omega. Two: you’re about to go into heat. And three: if you go any closer to him, if the scent of him gets any stronger, you may just collapse on the spot and weep at his feet.

    “Stop it,” he says hoarsely. “Don’t kid around.”

    the mere acts of biology.

    Summary

    He strokes your cheek. Wondering. “...Who are you?”

    “...Caleb?”

    You rear back, as though struck.

    He should be… needs to. Crawl at your feet. Beg for apology with his head resting in your lap. Please forgive me. But he doesn’t. Too struck by the hurt in your tells, furrowed brow, biting lips, wounded eyes.

    “Caleb…” You grip onto his arm. “You don’t remember me?”

    “I’m sorry,” he says. “I wish I did.”

    or: the in-betweens of lucid dreaming.

    Summary

    A fever pitch. Its synonyms: excitement, agitation. Two opposites shoved into the same feeling. That’s the only way to describe the way things are around you and Caleb now. Breaths are counted, often hitched. Touches are limited before they get dangerous. Caleb has invited you to Skyhaven even with the fever pitch, the heat and the excitement and the agitation. Maybe he’s a glutton for punishment. Maybe he knows he deserves it. Maybe he’ll take you any way he can have you.

    (You and he used to be synonyms. Two words with the same definition. The question you both try and fail to answer: what are you now?)

    Summary

    That sickness. It churned relentlessly in his gut. He flicked, flicked, flicked through the cameras, metal fingertip tapping against the monitor to capture you at every angle. He couldn't bring himself to admit how many times he had zoomed in and brought his hand to the screen in a pathetic gesture just to imagine he could feel the warmth of your cheek against his palm. His reason for life, granted to him by you, stunted and stalled by...well. By his death.

    He's back, now. He'd endured countless horrors and torn open the gates of hell to claw his way back to you. At last, he could return to his purpose. To kneel at your feet and present his neck to your boot. Nod his head yes and bow to your every order. Be right where he belongs. But...

    In his absence, you've started taking care of yourself. Poorly. Very poorly. And you're so fucking stubborn, refuting his help. It makes his jaw hurt with how hard he clenches his teeth.

    This night, though, this blessed, perfect night, you finally let him back in. You finally let him further. It's more than anything he could have ever dreamed. He should know better by now, but you make him so hopeless he can’t help himself. He knows good things for him never last.

    Summary

    She studied Caleb’s expression as she slowly slid her finger down his abs. There it was; his look of surprise, the slight hurt, the desire. Her finger stopped just before the waistband of his pants. “Don’t dish it out if you can’t take it.”

    Without warning, she poked him hard enough to draw out a surprised sound, then immediately turned back to the kitchen sink to continue washing dishes. Caleb was quick to follow, caging her against the countertop and breathing a low threat into her ear.

    “What's this about not being able to take it? Was that an invitation or were you just playing dirty?”

    She tried to ignore him, picking up a plate and grabbing a sponge. But her body betrayed her, a flush spreading over her cheeks. A whimper even slipped past her lips when he ghosted his hand over her waist.

    Caleb chuckled in that breathy, almost condescending way. “Playin’ games with me now? Okay. Let’s see how long you can last, princess.”

    Summary

    “Just don’t move.” Caleb murmurs, breath tickling the skin of your neck. Feeling playful, you disobey, massaging the back of his head with your fingertips to draw out a low moan. If he’s going to play games then you can too. Yet something about the situation feels off, almost discordant, as if you’re breaking some unsaid rule. Yet you still arch your spine to press your body closer to his. But instead of pinching you like you expected, Caleb sucks in air as if he’s been scalded.

    Your voice quickly becomes quiet and breathless. “Caleb, what’s-“ You’re interrupted by the sound of the front door opening and your grandmother's voice carrying in from the other room.

    “I’m home, kids. Is that curry I smell?”

    Panic sets in and you practically bolt out of Caleb’s arms, your heartbeat pulsing in your ears as you stumble towards the entryway. A sickly sense of shame adds to your chaotic feelings as you listen to him quickly stride towards the kitchen. Nothing about the situation makes sense. The two of you were just playing around like normal. Yet something itchy and aching has taken root deep inside of you; a burgeoning desire finally making itself known.

    Summary

    Caleb is like a puzzle piece that matches you perfectly. His joy floods into you like summer rain. But it comes at a cost; a reminder of the ache just under your sternum that comes with both missing him and being around him. Even your heartbeats seem to remind you that you’re lonely; incomplete.

    Maybe it's because no matter how many hugs, jokes, cheek pokes or nicknames you two trade, he always stays just out of reach. Maybe it's because you haven't taken the leap. Or maybe, just maybe, Caleb is hiding something from you.

    Just like you're hiding something from him.

    (Hi! This was originally a completed short fic of three chapters. However, as a result of people's support and my own love for MC and Caleb's banter, I will be continuing this into a much longer fic with lore, angst, and spice. So, if you want short, read 1-3. If you want long, keep reading! <3)

    Summary

    “You know what my class is,” you say. “A! And do you know what A stands for, X-02?”

    “Definitely not for Execūten,” he says, a strange wryness to his voice. “That’s for X.”

    “Anhausen! Assist!” You throw up your hands. “A for Assist, you dummy! But how is this A class supposed to assist the X class like she should if a certain stupid, idiotic X-02 model won’t let her!”

    or: caleb finds a way to appease your anger (through completely unfair means).
