“ and tell alador hes a hack while youre at it”
Darius spit out, he did NOT want to think of alador today, this mission was supposed to distract him. But of course one of his hideous abominations had to show up to taunt him. Darius has been seeing the hacks' creations around more and more, and they were so ugly… because they reminded darius of him.
Darius was heading home, the mission was a blur after he talked to kikimora…
His feet started walking in a different direction, his mind wandering. ‘Kikimora probably isnt going to tell alador hes a hack, yes shes probably already forgotten. I should just do it… yes ill go and… tell him myself’
Darius nearly hit his face on the door of blight manor. Ugh he couldnt believe he was actually here, foolish foolish darius. But it was getting late and well… he was already here so..
“Knock knock”
One of aladors hideous creations opened the door slowly, it wore a small pink bowtie. Darius grimaced in disgust but walked in nonetheless. The creature groaned behind him, shutting the door. Not a blight in sight, Darius wandered around the living room, when the abomination groaned at him again. “Oh calm down you. I'm just here to see alador” the monster tilted its head, bits of it melting off in the process. “Your creator?...Your master…?” the abomination somewhat looked like it understood and pointed in the direction of the basement. ‘Of course alador would be up at this hour working’ Darius thought and headed down quietly.
The basement was absolutely covered in abomination mold, little gadgets of sorts and scattered pieces of paper, blueprints, on the walls and on the floor. Standing in the middle of this mess was alador, looking like a mess himself. His back was turned to darius and his hands were deep in purple sludge, he hadn't even noticed darius was there.
Darius cleared his throat loudly “ahem. Hello alador”
Alador made some sort of panicked noise, slipping on some slime on the floor and nearly falling. He clutched both hands on the table, and snapped his head towards darius. He had his goggles over his eyes.
He really did look like a mess but… attractive. Darius hadnt properly seen him in so long. His facial hair had grown out a bit and his hair was more messy, darius hated admitting it to himself but he liked it. Alador moved his goggles to his forehead with his sludge covered hands. “Darius? What are you doing here?” alador didnt look mad to see darius, thats a relief at least, he just looked more… curious. Isnt that just alador, always curious, darius almost caught himself smiling at the thought, but composed himself and spoke seriously. “Cant i come see an old friend?” alador raised an eyebrow. “...I also wanted to tell you youre a hack.”
Alador just laughed softly and shook his head. “Its nice to see you too. Its- its been so long”
Darius avoided eye contact, he hated thinking about their past, when they went to hexside together.
“Ive been seeing your hideous creations everywhere recently” darius walked over to aladors lab table. “You really couldnt make them any less…” darius waved his hand around, trying to think of the word.but Alador just smiled “i could always use pointers from the abomination coven leader himself” alador looked up at him with those stupid beautiful golden eyes darius fell for so many years ago. Darius cleared his throat again. “Alright ill show you how its done, hack” darius said it softer this time and he also gave alador a small teasing smile. Darius sat up on the desk and extended his arm, effortlessly turning in into his giant purple claws. Alador just stared in amazement, darius couldnt help but blush a bit. Alador took the oozing arm into his own hands, moving his rough hands across the sludge, examining. “This is incredible” he said “how are you doing this” darius smirked at the adorable scientist “thats not all i can do~”
Darius’s body twirled and spun into his huge purple abomination form. He loomed over alador who had fallen back during the transformation. “Fascinating” alador said under his breath, he stared up at the half Darius half monster above him with wide eyes and flushed cheeks. Darius chuckled and slithered his face close to aladors. “Well? What do you think? Shouldnt you be taking notes about now?” Darius teased. Alador scrambled to his feet, eyes still on Darius, but straying from his face. “Y-yes I-I mean I would love to- run some tests, experiments. F-for science of course! …If you’ll allow it” darius agreed, he couldn’t help it, he loved seeing the scientist turn so red.
He sat on the lab table once again, though he was almost too big for it now. And let alador explore him freely. Alador ran his hands across his arms, sides, chest. He took some of the sludge and put it into a test tube to look at later. “Does it.. hurt?” Darius blushed at aladors hands on his chest. “N-no of course not.” Alador inspected one of the many abomination eyes coming out of the sludge, he put one hand on his chin and used his other to point at it “can you see from these as well?” He asked. Darius breathed “if I so chose to yes”. Alador whispered another ‘incredible’ under his breath. Making darius flush and look away again, he was trying to be confident, but with the inventor examining and touching him all over how could he?
Alador was back to his hand, which was bigger than his head. Darius morphed the slime to be sharp and Alador gasped. Darius chuckled “you like? I can make it anything I want it to be” Alador ran his finger across the purple blade, which was surprisingly sharp. But then he got distracted by the moving sentient orbs of Darius’s hair, playing with them with his finger, darius smiled. A tentacle of sludge wrapped itself around alaldor and pulled him closer, their faces nearly touching. “Hi~” Darius smirked. Alador flushed and pushed himself away, clearing his throat. “W-well I think I’ve examined enough. You are truly spectacular, I don’t think I could make anything like you even if I tried” darius chuckled “so youre saying im one of a kind? Oh alador how forward~” alador just laughed softly. “Why did you really come here?” alador asked, stepping closer to darius again. Darius instinctively wrapped a hand around his waist pulling him against the table. “I missed you.” he said sincerely, it was true he did. More memories of their school days flood back to him, the flirting in the hall way, the kisses before classes…
Alador reached out to lift his chin, darius hadnt even noticed hed begun to look down.
“I missed you too” and he kissed him. Purple sludge or not he didnt care, it was still darius and hes wanted to kiss him for so long. When alador opened his eyes darius was back to his human form, kissing him back. Both arms now wrapped around alador holding him between his legs.
They sat there, kissing in aladors gross old lab and Darius loved it.
