Shag me vax / kiki / kashaw 3some ;-)
((As you’re about to find out, I have nooooo idea how to write anything remotely smutty, I’m a ‘fade-to-black’ kinda girl, so here’s the best I’ve got))
A warm welcome greeted Vox Machina as they entered the Slayer’s Take hall for the first time in many months. Vex and Zahra shared a nonchalant greeting which fooled absolutely no one, but most of the attention was on Kashaw as he stepped up, took Keyleth’s hand and kissed it gallantly. There was a split second where everyone’s eyes were on the pair of them, then flicked up to Vax who stood behind Keyleth, his face unreadable. The unspoken tension broke as Vax smiled, stepped forward and clapped his hand on Kashaw’s shoulder in greeting.
Once the moment had passed, Kashaw moving down the line to greet the rest of Vox Machina, Keyleth turned and reached for her boyfriend’s hand, squeezing it gently to draw his attention.
“You’re not… jealous, are you?” she pried tentatively. “He doesn’t mean anything by it, he knows we’re together, I’m sure it was just-”
“Kiki,” Vax cut in, forestalling her ramblings, drawing her into a hug, “I’m not jealous.” He pressed a kiss to the top of her head, then leaned down to whisper in her ear, “In fact, the way you blushed when he kissed your hand was quite… delightful.” His voice was light and teasing, but as he pulled away, Keyleth caught a glimmer in his eye that made her wonder if there was more to it.
The group headed out for dinner together, and while much merriment and teasing ensued, Keyleth couldn’t help but keep an eye on Vax, who seemed to be eyeing up herself and Kashaw in equal measure. Worried he was planning to start a fight or some stupid challenge for her honour, she took Vax aside as they walked back to the Slayer’s take that evening.
“Why do you keep looking like that at Kashaw?”
“You find him attractive, don’t you?” Vax’s question was abrupt and unexpected. Seeing that Keyleth appeared taken aback and a little defensive, he quickly added, “It’s alright, love, I’m not upset… in fact, quite the opposite.”
Keyleth seemed to think for a moment, then slowly nodded.
“So I was thinking we should invite him to join us tonight.” Vax tried to be nonchalant, but there was a definite edge to his voice as he watched Keyleth intently, trying to read her reaction. She flicked her eyes up to Vax, then further over to where Kashaw was walking in conversation with Pike, and finally back to Vax with a small raised eyebrow and a twitch of her lips.
“Okay.” she answered simply. Vax seemed momentarily confused by her non reaction, but she smiled knowingly at him, and he grinned back. “Okay, then,” he echoed.
Vax’s stealth was never more useful, as somehow in the time it took Vox Machina to walk back to their lodgings, he’d had a whispered word with Kashaw, who seemed surprised but quickly agreed to the proposition, and the three of them had disappeared up the stairs before the rest of the group had time to notice them missing.
In fact, no one would have been any the wiser about their escapades if not for the rogue dragon attack in the early hours of the morning. Keyleth came running down the stairs with her hair leaving little doubt of her nighttime activities, and Vax followed suit, bare chested to no one’s surprise. Kashaw following them down closely wouldn’t have been such a dead giveaway except for the fact that he was wearing Vax’s half done-up shirt and a giant hickey on his neck.
Even a dragon wasn’t quite enough distraction to cover three blushing faces as the rest of Vox Machina looked on in shock.
