Chapter Text
Corpse was happy to have found his mate. He was also glad it was sykkuno.
The man was perfect in every way. Soft hair, kind eyes, sweet voice that just pulled you in. He was happy when the went they to get sykkuno’s stuff from the offlinetv house. His mate was going to stay with him forever now.
When people asked why sykkuno had stayed after that fateful day, they told them. While there was some initial confusion, everyone eventually understood, and they were happy for them. They wanted to tell the fans, they really did.
But that would mean a face reveal for corpse. He’d have to tell them how they got together. He’d have to out himself as a supernatural.
And that worried him.
What would people say? Or do? Would they hate him? Call him names like so many of his peers did when he was outed in high school? Would they leave him? Would they try to hurt sykkuno? Would it ruin both of them?
Those thoughts crowded his mind on a daily basis.
So, they kept it quiet. Sykkuno said he was living on his own. And No one questioned it.
———Line break———
They went and registered their mate claim, as all supernaturals had to do if they found their mate.
That was four months ago.
They were required by law, as “celebrities “, to disclose their mateing to the public within six months.
And with that, corpse had to show his full “creature form” for a full year after the announcement.
The negative thoughts spiraled around in his head again, never completely stopping.
Corpse knew the only thing that would stop these thoughts was telling the fans.
He was scared. Oh, so scared.
But he knew his mate would be there for him. Sykkuno would be there through it all.
———Line break———
They had to dress for their roll in the relationship.
So, corpse donned the outfit sykkuno picked out for him.
It was they same outfit he had worn when they first mated. The only difference being the pink crop top was now pastel purple, and a thick black collar with a leash had been placed on his neck. The collar was something he constantly wore.
The law made it so that mated supernaturals had to be “owned” by their much more human mates.
Sykkuno was dressed in dark greens and harsh blacks, so different from his usual wardrobe. They had needed to go buy the clothes for this specific occasion. Some of corpse’s rings decorated sykkuno’s hands, too big for his much smaller hand. Despite being the more dominant one in the relationship, he was significantly smaller than corpse.
There was nothing wrong with that though, as corpse liked to pick up and snuggle sykkuno whenever he could.
“Okay corpse, are you ready?” Sykkuno asked, finishing setting up the camera. It was facing their couch, the frame just big enough for corpse to bearly fit in frame.
“Uh...yeah. Ready as I’ll ever be.” He gave sykkuno one last anxious smile and pulled up the black face mask. He had planned on wearing the face mask for the start of the live stream, taking it off when he announced his status as a newly mated supernatural.
Sykkuno walked over to the couch, sitting in corpse’s lap. He wrapped the chain of the leash around his hand, leaning back into corpse’s arms. The younger male wrapped his arms around sykkuno waist, staring into the camera lense.
It was a subtle display of power on sykkuno’s part. Yes, corpse was bigger and stronger than him, but he held the chain of his new guard dog. He was the master, and corpse his ever loyal attack dog.
And with that, he pressed the “start stream” button. It was now or never.
