Work Text:
Evanescia wasn’t the type of girl to stumble into a bar late at night, weighed down by her own misery. Yet here she was, rubbing her eyes from a major lack of proper sleep as she slowly sipped from her drink, very well considering breaking it over her head so she could fall asleep right here. She blinked, eyes struggling to adjust to the vibrant purple lights. The bar was filled with a large crowd, her ears twitching from the increase in noise.
She never appreciated major groups of people. The energy, especially in her drained state, made her anxious. She cupped her hands over her ears, trying to muffle everyone’s voices.
It wasn’t working. Everything was so loud, so bright. The alcohol wasn’t helping in the slightest.
Nope. Gotta get out of here.
Evanescia stood up from her chair, leaving the bar and her drink behind. She just needed a moment of quiet. It would be fine, she would just go to the bathroom, wash her hands, and she would be okay.
Her eyes shifted across the bar.
Or she could just go home instead.
Evanescia sifted through the crowd, muttering tiny apologies as she went. She drifted towards the wall, holding onto it with one hand to guide herself. She ran her fingers along the wall, spotting the bathroom in the corner of the bar. She sped up, avoiding eye contact with every stranger she walked past. Evanescia stumbled into an open area, finally able to easily make her way to the door. Her heels clicked on the floor as she approached the bathroom, grasping onto the handle, pulling it open.
The first thing she noticed was the overwhelming stench of alcohol and smoke. That was to be expected. She wasn’t surprised in the slightest.
The next thing she noticed was a girl sitting on the floor, nursing a cup of whiskey in her hands. Her head rested against the wall, her knees tucked close to her chest. Violet eyes, shielded behind a a pair of dark glasses, flicked over to Evanescia the moment the door creaked open. Evanescia entered the bathroom, trying her best not to stare. She really couldn’t help it. By all means, the girl was beautiful. She couldn’t be at fault for stealing a few glances, in between pumping soap onto her hands, turning the knob on the sink.
And she absolutely couldn’t be blamed if on her third glance, their eyes just happened to meet for a brief moment. Evanescia took the opportunity to study her face. She had blue eyeshadow dusted across her eyelids. Her face sparkled in the light from remnants of glitter scattered across her cheeks, almost resembling stars. There were heavy dark circles under her eyes, her bangs were messy.
Evanescia sensed she had been looking for too long, quickly tearing her gaze away, rinsing the sweet smelling soap off of her fingers. She shook her hands, water dripping off of them.
She nearly froze when she vaguely heard a mutter through the sound of running water.
Evanescia turned off the sink, looking back to the girl on the floor.
“Did you say something?” She asked, turning to her.
“Yeah.” The girl nodded. “I wanted to know why you were staring at me so hard.”
Evanescia considered killing herself in that moment. She left the sink, reaching to grab paper towels from the dispenser. Thankfully, it gave her an excuse to break eye contact, a brief mercy in the midst of the embarrassment she was experiencing.
“S-Sorry.” She apologized. “I just…thought you were pretty.”
“Really? I was just about to tell you the same thing.”
Evanescia nearly dropped the towel. She quickly dried off her hands, before tossing it in the trash bin. She looked back to the girl, who wore a charming grin on her face. She returned the smile, slightly flustered.
“Thank you.”
On any other occasion, she would’ve ended the conversation there, taking the compliment and leaving with a happy sensation in her chest.
But she had nothing else to look forward to, and she knew she would later call herself an idiot if she chose to leave the girl alone.
So Evanescia walked up to her, plopping down next to the girl, leaning into the wall the other was resting against.
“Why aren’t you out there? I think a stool beats sitting on the ground.” She asked, watching as the girl raised her glass to her lips, drinking down the amber liquid. She wiped her mouth with her thumb, swiping away stray drops of alcohol.
“It’s noisy. Tons of creeps. Didn’t even come here with anyone.” She shrugged.
Evanescia chuckled. “If it makes you feel any better, I didn’t come with anyone either.”
The girl swirled her drink in her glass. “It does.”
She took another large drink from her whiskey, coughing slightly. She set down the cup away from them, crossing her legs.
“So what brought you here?” She tilted her head in curiosity. Evanescia grimaces, remembering how she got here in the first place.
“…Long day. Even longer story. I took a walk around town, and it led me here.”
She left out the events that got her to this point. Evanescia didn’t particularly feel like trauma dumping onto the mysterious gorgeous stranger before her.
“Huh. I’m just here to spend the last of my money. Rent’s going up soon. Figured I’d make good use of whatever I have left.”
“Was it worth it?”
The girl laughed, shaking her head. “Hell no. I should’ve just grabbed cup noodles and called it a night.”
Evanescia sighed, eyes moving down to the half full drink on the ground. Nihilux noticed her gaze, before lifting it to Evanescia’s lips.
“Want some?”
“Aw, what a flirt.” Evanescia teased, taking the glass, tipping it to let the drink flow into her mouth. “Already giving me free drinks. You don’t even know my name yet.” She gulped it down, clearing her throat.
“It’s called kindness towards cute, albeit slightly pathetic tipsy girls.” The girl snickered. Evanescia gasped in mock offense, crossing her arms.
“Pathetic?! I take everything I’ve said back.” She pouted.
“There, there. It’s in a positive way.” The other woman pat her thigh gently.
Evanescia’s act faltered the moment she registered the touch on her leg. She quickly forced her face into a neutral expression, hoping the dim bathroom light would do her a favor in concealing the blush that was surely showing on her cheeks.
“If it’s gonna make you feel better..” The girl began, bringing Evanescia’s attention back to her. “My name is Nihilux. Now we know at least one name.”
Evanescia repeated the name a few times in her head, her mouth moving to practice the syllables on her tongue. Nihilux. Nihilux. Nihilux.
The ends of her lips curled up into a smile. “It’s a nice name. I’m Evanescia.”
“See, now I know your name. Think I can really buy you that drink now?” Nihilux offered, reaching her hand out for Evanescia.
Wait, is she seriously asking me out?
Evanescia stared at the outstretched hand.
I’d also be an idiot to turn her down.
“Thought you spent the last of your money on your drink over there.” She pointed to the cup still on the ground. Nihilux pursed her lips, before groaning.
“Good point. How good are your morals?”
Evanescia giggled. “We are not stealing! You want me to pay?”
Nihilux thought about it, shoulders slumping in defeat as she reached for her glass. “..Yeah. Please.”
“Got it.” Evanescia stood up, brushing off her skirt. She extended her hand for Nihilux to grab onto, helping pull her up. She cautiously held onto Nihilux’s arm, almost surprised when Nihilux accepted the gesture, fully linking their arms together. She guided Nihilux along, quietly praying for both her liver and her wallet.
Naturally, those prayers fell on deaf ears. It wasn’t long before Nihilux was practically dragging Evanescia out, stumbling along the way. Evanescia clung tightly onto her shoulder, taking deep breaths as she moved. Nihilux pushed open the door, the cold night breeze hitting their faces. Nihilux pulled her out of the stream of people walking by, entering the entrance of an alleyway to properly check in.
“You doing okay there?” She asked, tilting Evanescia’s chin up with her hand.
“Mhm..” Evanescia nodded, eyes fluttering.
Couldn’t be better, actually.
“How am I gonna get you home? You’re definitely not driving.” Nihilux anxiously muttered.
“It’s fine. I walked, remember?” Evanescia waved her off.
“You really wanna walk home like this?”
Evanescia took her question into consideration. She tried to give her an answer, but found herself nearly losing her balance before she could even open her mouth.
Definitely in no condition to walk either.
Next plan, then.
Evanescia’s gaze moved up to Nihilux, taking her hand in hers.
“Or I could go back to your place.” She suggested, a sly grin forming on her face. That may have very well been the first time she saw Nihilux blush that night.
“Haha, nice try.” She tried to play it off, averting her eyes. “You’re drunk.”
“So are you.”
“Not as bad as you.”
“So..” Evanescia sniffled, batting her eyes. “You’re just gonna let an adorable girl like me walk home all be herself? I thought you knew how to treat a woman right.” She dramatically sighed, drawing a laugh out of Nihilux.
“You sure?” Nihilux asked one last time. Evanescia’s sneaky grin widened, as she grabbed onto Nihilux, quickly pressing a kiss to her cheek.
“Absolutely.”
“Come on then, pretty girl.”
They both knew what she was implying when she asked Nihilux to take her back to her place.
It still didn’t reduce the momentary surprise she had when Nihilux kissed her again the moment the bedroom door shut behind them. Evanescia quickly matched her energy, hands moving to the back of her head to hold her close. Their kiss grew feverish, lips moving frantically against each other, only breaking apart to gasp for air, before diving right back in.
Evanescia carefully stepped forward, trying to lead them both to Nihilux’s bed whilst keeping their lips connected. She nearly tripped over the clutter on the ground, struggling to see in the darkness. Nihilux pulled away, lightly pushing Evanescia into the bed, falling with her. The bed loudly creaked underneath them as they adjusted, Nihilux pinning Evanescia underneath her. She licked at Evanescia’s lips, waiting until they parted just enough to slip her tongue in.
Evanescia accepted the intrusion, letting Nihilux roam as she pleased, all the while running her hands down Nihilux’s body, tearing off every piece of clothing she could get her hands on. First her jacket, then her dress, then the dark bra she had on underneath. She undid the hooks, pulling it away, leaving Nihilux’s chest exposed. She ran her hands along the warm skin. Much warmer than herself, her hands relaxed as they came up to her upper back, opting to rub soothing small circles into the muscle instead.
She quietly whined as Nihilux moved to cup her cheeks with her hands, pressing their faces closer, encouraged by the comforting movements. Their foreheads touched for just a moment, before Evanescia felt Nihilux’s glasses poke at her face.
Nihilux broke away, letting out a breathless chuckle. “Sorry.”
She took off her glasses with one hand, mounting herself on Evanescia’s lap. She placed them up on the headboard, sinking back down, just above Evanescia’s face. Evanescia managed to get a better look at the makeup on Nihilux, taking notice of the sparkles hidden in the eyeshadow, the long, dark blue eyelashes, and the glimmering pink lipgloss that was definitely not there before.
“I think I stained your lips pink.” She giggled.
“Does it look bad?”
“No, no. It looks gorgeous on you.” Evanescia reassured her. She kissed Nihilux again, softer this time. Evanescia pulled back to admire the shade of pink pressed on her lips. She moved towards her neck, fangs biting down, licking and sucking the skin. She faintly heard Nihilux sigh above her, letting Evanescia drag her tongue along her neck. Evanescia placed kisses everywhere she could reach, both searching for the spot that would drive Nihilux insane, and leaving her with bright pink marks as she went.
She pressed down just beneath her jaw, briefly pausing when she heard Nihilux breathe through clenched teeth. She sucked deeply on the patch of skin, feeling Nihilux dig her nails into her head. She buried her face into Evanescia’s hair, trying to muffle her sounds. Evanescia almost broke the suction to laugh at her attempt to silence herself.
Eventually she placed one last kiss, pulling away to get a look at the dark purple bruise that was beginning to form on her neck, accompanied by traces of pink.
She was never getting these marks off. Evanescia was determined to make sure of that.
“Hmhm…” Nihilux sighed. “I’m never gonna be able to step outside the house without concealer again, am I?”
“Nope~♭” Evanescia smirked.
Nihilux pulled back to look her in the eyes. “I’m gonna return the favor.”
“I’m waiting.”
Nihilux gave her one last kiss, before tugging off her clothes. Evanescia sat up just a bit, helping Nihilux undress her. Her head spun as she felt Nihilux’s hands working on her skirt next. She undid the belt, pulling the both the skirt, the tights, everything down her legs. It wasn’t long before Evanescia felt herself become exposed to the cold air of the room. She shivered under Nihilux’s warm touch, watching her lips trail down her body, her tongue leaving a thin, wet trail behind. Nihilux kissed her breast, moving down to her ribcage, then to her waist. Evanescia felt a faint bite, as Nihilux took the flesh in between her teeth.
Ah, payback.
Nihilux moved to her hips, finger tracing over the bone, licking around it. Finally, she made her way down to her thighs, settling in between her legs.
Nihiluxms smile suddenly darkened with mischief. Evanescia only had a moment to react before Nihilux harshly sank her teeth into her inner thigh. Evanescia jolted, a whimper escaping her throat, legs tightening around Nihilux’s head.
“N-Nihilux..” She tried to come up with a retort, but quickly fell silent as Nihilux bit down just a bit harder. Surely, she was drawing blood by now. Evanescia reached down to run her fingers through Nihilux’s white hair, tugging on it to ground herself.
Nihilux finally released her. Thankfully, there was no blood, but there was a very visible indentation of teeth.
“I didn’t go that rough. That was evil.” Evanescia huffed.
They both knew she wasn’t truly upset.
“Then accept this as my apology.” Nihilux murmured, breath grazing her entrance. Her mouth found Evanescia’s clit, running her tongue over it. Evanescia’s grip on her hair tightened, her knuckles turning white. Nihilux flicked her tongue, letting Evanescia pull her closer. Her eyes glanced up, watching Evanescia carefully as she writhed on the bed, her free hand pressed to her mouth in an attempt to stop herself from making any noise. Nihilux dragged her tongue from her clit to the opening, keeping herself just at the entrance. Evanescia cracked open one of her eyes.
“Why’d you stop?” She asked, nervous. Nihilux came out from between her legs, crawling back over to her.
“I want to hear you.” She placed her hand on the one that was covering Evanescia’s mouth. “Let go.”
Evanescia frowned. “Who was the one burying her face in my hair so she wouldn’t scream?”
“Water under the bridge.” Nihilux shrugged. “Please?” She pleaded, giving her most innocent eyes. Evanescia hesitated, before removing her hand from her mouth, instead letting Nihilux intertwine their fingers together.
“Your neighbors are gonna hate us, you know.”
“Please, he sleeps in a fridge. He’ll be fine.” She rolled her eyes. “This is much, much more important.”
She tucked her head back in between Evanescia’s legs, giving her entrance another kiss before pushing her tongue inside, relishing in the way Evanescia’s demeanor quickly crumbled. She dragged her tongue along Evanescia’s walls, carefully taking note of which spots made her clench, arch her back, gasp a little louder.
Evanescia kept their fingers interlocked, her grip growing firmer as her pleasure intensified. Nihilux curled her tongue, lazily stroking every place that made her crazy, feeling Evanescia’s hips move just a bit faster. Her high moans began to falter, her voice cracking in between each pump.
Nihilux nearly cried out when she felt Evanescia roughly tug on her hair like it was a leash. Whether it was pain or pleasure, or the alcohol getting to her, did it even matter? Evanescia’s back arched off the mattress, sobbing as she reached her climax. Nihilux kept moving, letting her ride it out, the taste of her release flooding her mouth. She didn’t retract her tongue until she felt Evanescia’s hips slow down. Nihilux came back up for air, swallowing the release. She loomed over Evanescia, pressing her fingers to her clit in place of her mouth.
Evanescia could barely get a word out before Nihilux slowly began to grind against her clit, a cruel grin on her face.
They had all the time in the world. She was allowed to savor this just a bit longer.
“Nihilux..! P-Please, I literally just- Mmph..” Evanescia begged, cut off by Nihilux kissing her.
“Shh, I’ve got you.” She whispered, feeling Evanescia’s arms wrap around her in a tight embrace as she harshly grinded against her with three of her fingers.
“You’re.. An evil- Aagh.. Evil woman.” She choked out through gritted teeth.
“Oh, how unfortunate.” Nihilux hummed.
Evanescia raked her nails down Nihilux’s back, leaving light scratch marks in their wake. Overstimulation wracked throughout her body, her breathing growing rapid. She closed her eyes, focusing on the movement. Slowly, she began to match Nihilux’s rhythm, moving in time with the strokes that moved a little too slow for her liking.
It was just enough to keep her on edge, but not enough to tip her over. Nihilux kept her pace steady, well aware of Evanescia’s growing impatience.
“Nihilux…”
“I know. Be patient.”
Evanescia felt tears brimming at the corners of her eyes. She opened her eyes just a bit, feeling one roll down her cheek.
“Such desperation. Almost makes me want to cry too.” Nihilux teased her. “Will this make it better?”
Her fingers suddenly sped up, making Evanescia’s hips jolt into her touch. Evanescia let out low whines, body trembling in pleasure as she approached another orgasm. Stars flashed behind her eyelids, sweat running down her face and neck. Nihilux tenderly kissed her, just under her jaw, and that was all it took to finally push her to release once more, nails digging into Nihilux’s back. A strangled moan left Evanescia’s mouth, her entire body stilling. This time, Nihilux mercifully removed her fingers, letting her body rest. Evanescia melted into the feeling, feeling Nihilux’s hand reach up to pet her as she relaxed. She gently scratched just behind the fluffy ears, watching Evanescia purr, content.
“So adorable. I’m gonna need you to tell me everything about your ears sometime.” Nihilux cooed, fascinated by them. She ran her hand up and down the pink fuzz, much to Evanescia’s enjoyment. “They’d be good for writing.”
Evanescia poked Nihilux’s back with her finger.
“Your turn?” She asked.
“Mm, sure you’re not too tired?” Nihilux tilted her head, her tone laced with both concern and playfulness. Evanescia reached up to grab the wrist that was petting her head, a determined look her face.
“Uh uh. I’m not letting you escape without some karma.” She insisted, leaning close to Nihilux.
Nihilux’s controlled expression cracked, her face flushing.
“Fine, lay back down.” She sat up, letting Evanescia go. Evanescia raised an eyebrow, confused.
“What do you have in mind?”
Her question was quickly answered as Nihilux crawled towards her face.
Of course.
“Hey, I’m giving you a turn. Don’t look so disappointed.” Nihilux snickered.
“Just come over here already.” Evanescia rolled her eyes, gesturing Nihilux over.
By the time they were done, Evanescia could just barely see the sun’s rays peeking out from the horizon.
Nihilux yawned, draping a thick blanket over her and Evanescia. Evanescia snuggled up against her, resting her head in the crook of her neck.
“I’m really glad I forced myself to go out tonight.” Nihilux murmured. She glanced down at a half asleep Evanescia, her hands continuing to affectionately pet her ears. “Which Aeon did I please for you to come my way?”
Evanescia didn’t answer, her mind already shutting off, completely exhausted. Nihilux didn’t bother striking up more conversation, she simply held Evanescia close, letting her fall asleep.
“What are you gonna write?”
Nihilux snapped back to attention.
“Huh?”
“You mentioned you write. Earlier, when you were talking about my ears.” Evanescia noted, still awake. “What are you writing?”
Nihilux’s eyes lit up. “I mean, I’m notreally an author. I’m a comic artist. You heard of Fluffy Across the Blue? That’s mine.”
Evanescia could faintly hear her continue to explain as her mind went blank.
..No I did not.
“Always wondered if I was getting the description right, now I got a cute little specimen to test it for myself.” She cooed.
Oh Aeons, I did.
A few comments ran through her head. Most were along the lines of “I’m going to kill you” and “I’ve dedicated my life to you”.
Evanescia sank into the bed, partly out of embarrassment, partly out of pure shock that she is being cuddled by her favorite author.
“…I love you.” She muttered while she still had the chance to say it.
She wasn’t sure if Nihilux even responded.
She wasn’t sure if she wanted to know.
They barely got an hour of rest, before being woken by the sound of furbobos quickly scampering away in terror at the sight of Evanescia in Nihilux’s bed. She rolled over, startled at the noise, watching them all run away.
“Should I…?” She started, looking back to Nihilux.
“They’re fine. Just go back to sleep.”
