Thank you thank you for the welcome! Ive been here for a while I just watch mostly teehee.
Anyways Favorite wise,
For romance its between Erik and Sam for me. I’m an Erik and Sam kisser through and through. They were the first two routes I played when I played the game so they have stuck with me for so long. They are both in a tied spot.

I told myself I was not going to watch this show.
Then I saw Anderson was in it and aging nicely. Saw Beau Bridges was in it too. Found out the premise which was interesting.
So now my cock is making me watch it to get caught up.

Your dearest Boyfriend. To-which not only do you think of and the many singsongly Nicknames you call him, finding his annoyance over it ever-the-more charming, defintely has achieved a Title from you with the highest regard and form of respect…
Looking up at your Guy of the 11th Hour, standing at the edge of your Bed and as effortlesly handsome; as he so casually does, looking down on you -> holding a plastic Bag which contains the Treasure of his Journey.
“Random shit i thought you’d probably need.” he simply declaired, before putting the Bag on your Bedside Table.
Your Response to him was to gently Rise from your horizontal State and leaving behind the Comfort of your tangeld Bedsheet to properly greet your Hero, of course.
Soothingly cool fingertips grace your Temples before in an oneway, ever-fluid motion traverse deeper into your comparativly hot Scalp. Their Goal seemingly to “fix” your Bedhead. Managing so, if you were to squint.
Mumbling with a low Tone he asked,“ how’re you holding up?”
“Hm.”
“ ”Hm.“. ”
Light mockery in his Tone, in some endearing way you would do meowing back at a Cat, Sam smirked at you before proceeding to take his Hoodie off. Exposed Upper Body, revealing.
Suprised? yet not unwelcoming of the Scenary; you proceeded to watch him look around your shared Room. Unaware of his Action having stirred you awake and seemingly in Thought, he walked all the way to the otherside of the Room, where his Dresser was standing. For what you conclude, is for change of his Outside Clothes.
Slight Dissapointment over not having gotten a Strip Show for your woeful State and ever so cassualy putting The ginormous Sex-appeal of your Incubus aside, you had reached towards the Plastik Bag.
Not having talked for hours definetly showing its hints as you spoke, you still managed to mutter your Gratitude of him having thought of you as he was Out.
“ ‘Course. Anything for you.”
Not containing and feeling a reason to hide it, you grinned at his Words, “..Yeah? Well aren’t you Cute.”
“Speak for yourself, Doofus”
Having Clothes bundled up and holding them with one Arm, Sam walked back over to you, with his other free Arm supporting his Weight, decending towards you.
A Peck on the Cheek. The light Kiss, its Actions, speaking of a softer Nature, that his Words try to so cassually play off.
But, the smart Cookie that you are, already know of his Spiel.
“I’m off heading to Shower, but ill make Dinner soon. Head Downstairs when you’ve got more Energy.”
The glint of boyish Confidence and soft Devotion for you twinkling in his Eyes, meeting your tired once; He walked out of the Room, closing the Door behind him.
You could dreamily Sigh at this, Sam, but the Curiosity of what he had gotten you, stole your Attention back to Reality.
—
Walking towards the Kitchen, Its sight Greeting you with perfect timing from you part of Sam placing two Plates down; at the huge Dining table,
“It’s awfully Quiet..”, you began.
Sam’s Eyes shooting up, meeting yours.
“I know Suzu is out of Town for her Cousins Birthday, but.. where are the others?”
Without a Word pulling a Chair off the Table for you, he answered,“ Fuck if i know. Besides James dropping me off on his Way to some lame-ass Meeting, Haven’t heared from the Others yet.”
“Ahh, right!”, you sat down next to him. Picking up the Fork that’s been Resting on the Side of your Plate, you began to question Sam about his Day.
It has been half the first Semester of Sam having enrolled into Police School. Not just him, but you and the rest of your Friendgroup; having been occupied with getting Familiar over the Options, Chicago had to offer you all, being in Collage afterall.
Sam told you over the Friends he had made back at his School, trying not to coo your Excitment over your brutish Boyfriend having meantioning them, everytime.
Their Names familiar to you and their Faces vague in your Mind, he began telling you over him “obviously.” acing the Sports part of his Exam and stressing how “fucked it was” off his Professors, to load him and the rest of his Class with the amount of Homework that they would recieve on a Weekly Basis.
The two of you having long been done eating, Sam first to finish as always; taking your Plate from you as he loaded them Both along with your guyses Utensiles, Sam waited for you back in your Room as you decided to Shower yourself, wanting to freshen up.
Entering, once again, back into your Room, you quickly stepped into your Bedsheets, ofwhich have been warmed from your Boyfriends Body heat.
As you nuzzle into him, with him tilting his Head towards you; he was searching up typing up the Words ,,Grey’s Anatomy" as you guys had started watching it together.
“I hate how Izzie acts towards Callie, The Fuck is her Problem”, his hand gesturing to the Screen of the Laptop, his eyes glancing back at you for what you would have to say.
You nod in agreement with Sam over the Writers seemingly being dumbasses after the third Season and the loving Couple you are, Shit Together on Izzie, however also end up acknowledging ´back to the Point of the Writes probably being stupidly High when they wrote the Manuscripts or whatever.
The (dumb and confusing) Plot of the Series slowly drifting to Wight Noise in your Mind, as you ever-so comfortably laid against Sam, you slowly drift off to sleep.
His POV of you earlier as he had entered your Room… ⤵
The middle siblings all realize something about the other.
Smurfette wants to go home while Sam knows he’s stuck there.
A/N: Many of these have been answered by Michaela herself!! Besides my own visions im really quoting her for most of these Questions.
ALSO!!!!! Shoutout to my first ever Anon :>!!! They left a rlly sweet msg in my inbox and i felt like they 100% deserve to be mentioned
Keeps it pretty low, pretty chill. Anywhere outside + near his brothers (because how could they NOT tease him lol), he would keep PDA down to him standing close to you or letting you loop your arm with his. However, he would never turn away from you if you decide to show PDA (like a quick peck on the cheek).
He never mentions it, but any time you kiss him, no matter how small or simply be close to each other, he always gets this slight tingly feeling and cant explain. Adrenaline maybe?? Goshh, feelings amiright?? ( Ofc Damien knows about this. Despite him teasing Sam along with the other incubi over his relationship with you, he also feels happy that someone was able to show Sam he wasnt a Monster of any sort.)
Oh! Another PDA thing when you guys happen to be commuting together -> if you two happen to be on the Bus for example and were to sit next to each other, he cant help but ever-so-gently lean the side of his head juuust enough to grace yours. Its a very casual, very small gesture, infact no one would notice, but for the two of you its a silent vow. “will always be by your side” “i have you”
When its just you guys alone however, he is way more openly affectionate with you. If you guys were to sit on the couch, whether thats simply chatting or watching TV, Sam would deff throw your legs over his lap. Its just feels natural to him. (He loves youuuuu aaaaaaaaa!!! >v<)
ROOF HANGOUTS!!!! Picture this with me: you two on the roof, with Sam holding you and simply soaking in as you chat away with the Sun setting <33333333333. Sometimes you may have brought drinks + snack to which he would let you feed him chips or silently drink his beverage while intently listening to what youre so excitedly telling him about. He loves hear your voice. Sometimes his way of replying to you is kissing your tempel and silently nodding
Entry !!!
Um…?? You guys RULE??? ( His own cocky words having learned the phrase haha)
Picture this → you and him as you both happen to be wearing cool af sunglasses and jumping out of a Window juuust in time before the whole Building (you guys jumped out of) exploded. Oh and also happen to pose really photogenically while being mid-air.
Yeppp THAT kinda ruling. NOT EVEN Kreayshawn HERSELF could top ur guyses swag ;>
A little bit unrelated to Sam but wanted to add this anyway! ⤵
Alot of times its never really just you and Sam alone since you guys often hangout with the other Incubi. Even including Naomi, Suzu and Andrew!! ( + mika or not depends on you) There is a specific type of German slang for making the town “unsafe” ( Die Stadt unsicher machen. haha i hope this isnt too unserious to add here) and that pretty much describes the vibe all of you admitt wherever you may go in Chicago.
Honestly? James and Naomi are the parents™ of the group along with Damien, despite him being the youngest. There isnt anything all of you wont do, like that one time you guys tried out rock climbing!! Otherwise its pretty casual, with mostly hitting up the arcade or go dive-bars with insanley cheesy themes.
Also yes you guys are that one large group that goes to the Movies.
Along with that, you guys also happen to crash many house parties which were pretty worth the memories despite the awful hangovers.
James, Naomi and often surprisingly Erik?? Often end up taking care of the rest of you for the next day.
One time Matthew mentioned that regarding the way you guys often went anywhere as a group, it probably happens to look the exact way stewardesses do. Honestly, anything and any known media of a group walking became this insider joke between you guys (for example: like B99) Courtesy to Matthew and Damien often editing/making personal reaction stickers and memes for your Groupchat o7
Otherwise, if its just you and Sam, then you go out and see what Chicago happens to offer you two young rebels. Picture one of those “coming-of-age” montage-worthy moments.
edited by yours truely o7
Be it you two in the living room playing video games, either taking turn or watching the other play (+ remember my mention from the letter A!) there is deff cuddeling involved. He never instigates it first “to give you space” but feels relieved every single time you scooch closer to him.
If you happen to have a long day, without needing to say anything he will hold you. Close and firm. His light scent of his cologne and having this cutie of an incubis u love so endearingly holding you? Anything that had bothered you went to “to go to Hell where it belongs”
At night when you two go to sleep he is often times the big Spoon or hugs your side as your head is on his chest.
[i want to make a seperate cute falling asleep HC for sam!! Thats y im keeping this a little short :>]
If you two dont need to be anywhere in particular and spend the rest of your evening hanging out, to Sams incredibly cute embarrassment, you will be found hugging each other so close the way cats do
Shoutout to Damien being the one often sending images of cats cuddling together with nothing but the caption being “ :) ” He can speak of luck that Sam holds a special soft spot for his brother lol
this Entry
Um.. Is the sky blue? is Matthew the biggest dork you guys happen to know?? ( yes you could hear the mentioned Incubi shout from somewhere in the distance haha)
Yes he would want to Settel down. <3
His only concern with kids would be how you would hold up during the pregnancy. Michaela wrote an answer herself saying that Sam would be the MOST panicked in the delivery room and the most nervous out of all the boys. Obviously he would comfort you the best way he could but so help him God, he could burst a Vein from how anxious he would be for you.
Would deff and with your permission would use enthrallment
mentioned in this Entry OH!! and this funny af Gem haha and this <3
ALSO!!! Entry about the enthrallment bc i thought it was interesting :o
Be it you two choose to adopt or just not have Kids at all, he is down for whatever as long as he can continue spending his Life with you (tehe <3)
Part of his love language is deff doing the chores around your shared House. He insists he “doesnt mind it one bit” and also that he is way “faster than your slow ass anyway”(affenctionatly) But he skips any specific chores you would want to do yourself. Along with that, he appreciates it that much more when you did something for him.
Also its alr known that not just him but all the incubi r good cooks sooo i dont think i need to add anything more
oh and also -> Entry
The moment you shyly sat him down and asked his view on marriage, colour yourself surprised over how casually he got up from whatever he was sitting on and tore his CLOTHES OFF!!! revealing he had a suit on this entire time while simultaneously getting down on one knee and pulling out a ring box
Pff but actually -> He talked about this with almost anyone you guys know and kept asking James and Damien for advice and in gen let them give him pep-talks and what not. Both of them assured Sam that you would say yes to him proposing to you anyway, but he insisted he wanted to do it the right way
The way you deserve it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
With the years you guys, and not even just with you, but his Brothers and your friends have spent together definitely made his Heart more open and at the same time stronger. He knows that and the end of any day he will always have family to turn to. Hell, he even started meeting up with his own people he had met and considers his friends.
Despite having been against coming to the human world, he will always think of it as the secound best thing that has ever happened in his Life, the 1st being you
Entry !! sfw-ish
Kinda answered this alr!! OH ITS ALSO CANON FROM MICHAELA THAT HE GIVES THE BEST HUGS!!! along with matthew
(cant find the entry to which she said ,,sam is the best hugger along wiht close secound matthew" just trust me tho haha)
pretty fast. I mean how else were you guys able to gang up on Diana lol
But be it anytime one of you leave you quickly exchange i-love-yous accompanied by a quick kiss
But really? despite him constantly saying it, he deff preferes showing you over how much he loves you rather than JUST saying it.
Entry bc its fitting + silly
Nah, i think he is pretty chill alot of times. Maybe a little worked up (which wouldn’t be at YOU specifically) but. Yeah. I think he’s pretty tame when it comes to getting/being jelious
He knows and trust you in every step fo the way but still feels iffy when he notices someone VERY obviously hitting on you.
he acts like he doesnt care over that “Loser” thinking they even have an OUNCE of a chance with you, but still keep vigilante and looks over your shoulder
[ohhhhhhhhhhemgggg where does a girl even begin?? ♡(˃͈ ˂͈ )]
On himself:
His Neck. Anywhere ranging from near his adams apple towards the back of his nape
your soft, smooth lips ever-so gracing his Neck with your loving kisses. The feeling of your warm sighs sending him all the right excitment. He loves how vulnerable he can let himself be with you, like this.
one time out of the spur-of-the-moment while you guys where holding hands you turned his hand enough so you can kiss it. Yeahhhhh aaaaall the butterflies for this cute bad boy <3
On you: His favourite Place for a quick peck would be either the top your head or your cheek
If time is on his side and its just you two alone; he aaaalways goes for your collarbone and the middle of your chest. In his own thinking its the closest way for him to kiss your heart
Besides that your abdome and inner thighs are his favvvv places to tease you (only faire for the way you tease his heart on a daily basis)
Entry !!!
Never had any opinion towards kids. I mean? “yeah they r just there idk”
But one time when Suzu invited the entire Friend group over a Party her Family were hosting in their Backyard, her little Cousins ended up thinking how cool he was. Sam and Matthew asked the kids who was the most “awesomest” between the two, as to which they favoured -> Sam.
Many ,,challenges" and whatnot were performed for the cold judges yet their opinion still stayed on Sam, funny enough.
No he wont stop bringing this up, to Matthews dismay X)
Other then that, he doesnt hate them and would never even get annoyed over Babies crying out of respect towards the mother, be it anywhere.
He often ends up waking up before you do. If you need to get up early, he will gently wake you up by kissing you slowly all over your Face.
However, if you two dont need to be anywhere that day, he will lie beside you and admire you, “the sleeping beauty”, until you wake up on your own accord
Once awake, he is the one that usually already prepared breakfast, but on the rare occasion when he sleeps in, you make it.
Entry !!
Having a nighttime routine even be a thing surprised him a bit. “I mean, just lie in bed and close your eyes” lol
But after convincing him to join you (whatever it is that you before heading to bed ), he pretty much keeps you company or lets you do/apply products on him.
He STILL doesnt care AT ALL for this whole thing, but he enjoys doing these domestic things with you. <v<
Sam is definitely a light sleeper but funny enough also happens to be someone who snores. Quite the combo haha
He doesnt snore the way dads do lmao
More like a liiight snore? It wont wake you up.
Remember how I mentioned he often admires you in the mornings before you wake up? The Nights in which he is asleep is your turn for that :>
Entry this was mentioned in!! + this Entry
He had no problem opening up to you. Besides having a high amount of respect for you, he also trusts you a lot.
[ hmmm honestly??? there isnt much to say to that or atleast i cant think of anything more. He was also immediatly open with you in the first game ]
He has always been ,,patient"
Despite his Title and whatever others might assume, he doesnt ENJOY fighting. I mean a guy that meditates can be trusted to keep his temper cool.
He does get easily annoyed but would never full on get angry unless he senses Danger.
He is 100% the fuck-around-and-find-out but more so that he PATIENTLY waits for smth to happen first before reacting.
Yes your highly loyal, ROYAL, attentive, handsome, kind, funny, cute, charming, wonderful, caring, thoughtful Incubi/Dragon Boyfriend happens to remeber silly details about you.
This isnt even a debat?????
Rather remembering little details about you, he notices them by silently observing you :o!!!
You and Sam were just walking back to the Mansion after it had stopped raining.
Holding eachothers hands while casually strolling through the freshly rained-on-road, The Incubi couldnt help but smirk to himself over the scene playing out right infront of him.
With the scent of rain and the crisp, clean air accompanied by your perfume, guiding him back to your shared Home while grinning all happily at him over a cheesy joke you made. The Sun peeking through your hair making you appear just as Angel-like as he knows you to be.
yeaaahh, he is one lucky jerk <3
tehe also adding this Entry <33
He trusts that you can easily take care of yourself yet despite that he would always naturally be and stand by close to you.
(also i think i kinda answered this alr)
Even in Crowded areas he is pretty lax. Thanks to his abilites he can also easily detect if there is danger nearby or anyone trying to do you harm
If there is something to be alert by but its also not ,,serious" enough to act out yet, he will put his arm around your waist and try to keep low until he feels like he has to act out
Entry bc i think its close enough to relate
I think it must be fairly obvious right? X)
At first he didn’t seem to care about all these anniversary or what even the difference between a date and simply hanging out was before the events of the Game.
But after having met you?? He definitely goes above-and-beyond for all the cliché love stuff just to see you smile.
[not to seem like im kissing the ass of a fictional character but Michaela truely wrote Sam to be kinda?? Well yk perfect? Atleast i dont remember anything that would be a bad habit of him]
Entry ? fitting enough
Not at all haha
He is at your mercy relating anythign fashion since he doesnt care at all for it himself (and lacking any sense for it)
Buuuut he does often go for a punk-meet-skater boy-safe-for-work style
Entry !!
actually? I think hed be cool/okay without you ro anyone really
Mika and Sam are the canon love end for smto sooo if YOU werent there then hed just end up with Mika
But if youuuuu are Mika (or imagine urself to be in the game) I think he would still be pretty lax/have a good life with his Brothers as they go on learning the Human world
He loves Chick-flicks. They are stupidly funny ot him and the overly-cliche tropes help him get the feel for ,,how things go in the human world"
Also besides pop punk he likes pop aswell. Would keep it a secret the best he could but incase he gets caught acts like its super casual and ,,whatever" to undermine anyone who was going to make fun of him for it ( everyone of ur friendgroup haha. ESPECIALLY YOU)
Anything in the category of hurting or scaring you. No fucking way.
woops accidentally alr answered this aswellllllll but:
side and stomache sleeper (when you guys arent falling asleep on top of each other together)
also despite his claim he doesnt, does snore the cutest way haha - your words
♪ I Just Died - by Amerie
♫ Love On Top - by Beyoncé
♪ Fallen - by mýa
♫ Bad Boys - by Alexandria Burke
♪ Love (Play & Win) - by INNA
I need to talk about how much the people of Alexandria pissed me off. BECAUSE WDYM THEY KNEW PETE WAS ABUSING JESSIE, SAM AND RON FOR IDK YEARS?? AND DID NOTHING??? I have problems with every single one of those fuckers, ESPECIALLY DEANNA AND HER FAMILY. I know Pete was their doctor or whatever but Sam was ten and Ron was fifteen by the time Rick’s group got there (I think). IT WAS TO THE POINT WHERE THEY HAD TO HIDE IN THE CLOSET. RON’S ARM WAS PERMANENTLY DAMAGED. AND SAM? THE TEN YEAR OLD WENT TO CAROL TO HOPEFULLY GET A CHANCE TO DEFEND HIMSELF, HIS BROTHER AND MOTHER. And these people still did NOTHING??? I understood it at first (from a leaders point of view, like do what’s best for everyone) but then we find out they had another doctor!!! LIKE I’M SORRY?? YOU GUYS HAD AN ALTERNATIVE AND DECIDED TO JUST LET THEM BE ABUSED?? And they kept giving Pete alcohol (or access to it) because he always has it! So just to clarify, they were actively not doing anything about the issue, BUT ALSO FUELING IT?? Then they only gave a fuck when Rick made it a public problem. Even then Deanna barely did anything until Pete killed her husband. So it’s fine when the children we’re severely injured and traumatized by this man, but then it affects them and it’s a problem? HUH?? Bystanders from hell actually. The fandom focuses on hating the wrong family from this town. The Anderson’s (other than Pete) didn’t do anything that bad and deserved better. THE MONROE FAMILY? No. They deserved what they got. Fuck them. Spencer and Aiden pissed me off and the other two turned a blind eye and THEN tried to stop Rick when he tried to do something. Like umm wtf?
I have a burning hatred towards Pete if you couldn’t tell. Anyways! That’s all!
‘Inside a pocket of his coat there was the flinch of his phone as it gathered a text, the small noise that warned him of incoming communications.’

I AM SORRY I JUST HAD THE FUNBIEST FUCKING CROSSOVER IDEA THAT WOULD BE SO CURSED. 🤣
SEDUCE ME THE OTOME AND DC. JUST THINK ABOUT IT.
JOHN, ZATANNA, DR. FATE, AND SO MANY OTHER MAGIC USERS BEING SO CONFUSED BY THE BOYS BUT ALSO CLOCKING THEM AS DEMONS SO QUICKLY
Bruce and James getting along well and bonding over the fact they’re both billionaire CEO’s. They talk about their companies all the time.
Alfred letting Matthew in the kitchen and the two trading recipes.
SAM AND DAMIAN GETTING INTO SWORD FIGHTS ALL THE TIME
Diana and Diana meeting and bonding over them both being warrior princesses. They get into sparring matches from time to time to “see who’s stronger” but really they are just glad they finally have an opponent who is just as well versed in fighting as they are.
Erik and Dick constantly get into fights over who’s more charming and flirtatious. Everyone gets tired of it real quick.
Damien and Cass enjoy each others quiet company.
Sam tries to fight Clark.
This makes me laugh like a maniac so fucking much. This is probably a very niche crossover that only a handful of people will get but I just had to share LMAO

When he decides to create a plan to get off the island and get them all rescued, he…
The first chapter is here.
I really liked the first part of the prompt, but it didn’t feel very Sam x Mika since he was unconscious the whole time.
Part 2 is from Sam’s perspective!
Warning for graphic depictions of pain, blood, and gore.
[[MORE]]They had been winning the fight handily at first, but those damned devils are dragging this out. Sam can sense it, the turning of the tide, and it’s not in their favor. It’s time to get out, now. He signals his brothers. James meets his eyes with a firm nod and Erik reciprocates the hand sign without taking his eyes off his opponents.
Sam’s eyes flick over the carnage, where did the runts get to-FUCK!
Sam speeds to intercept the devil poised to thrust an evil looking spear at Matthew and Damien’s unprotected backs. As he runs, he yanks on the red string tied to his finger.
Sam looks down to see metal protruding from his chest. I must have made it in time, are his last thoughts before darkness consumes him.
Pain.
Agony is the only sensation, the only thought. Pain consumes Sam’s entire being. It has no location, no feeling. Some kind of instinct kicks in and Sam tries to move, to escape, to fight.
Suddenly the word is darkness again.
Then for a few moments, Sam exists in a twilight of consciousness. Pain radiates from his abdomen. It burns white-hot and fierce, but it feels distant somehow. Other feelings tug at his senses. Crimson magic pulls at his organs, stitching a barrier around the fire. Blue and purple auras flicker to his left, they seem brittle from fatigue and anxiety. Black energy swirls around his head, it seems to grow weaker and weaker. The shadow over him briefly lifts and Sam moans as the pain becomes tangible again. Then the black tendrils drift back into his mind, they shimmer with golden flecks that bring a comforting warmth. Darkness slowly overtakes him, and Sam relaxes into it.
The scent of blood startles Sam into awareness. He focuses on the scent, demon blood. Sam’s eyes snap open. The world rotates wildly for a second before snapping into place. A hand comes up to hold his throbbing head, horns? Shit.
He looks around the room, craning his neck as much as his horns will allow him. At one end of the room Matthew and Damien lie in a heap on the sofa. Matthew has dried blood caked on his shoulder. Sam can just make out red hair matted with blood tucked into Matthew’s elbow. Behind him James’ head rests on his shoulder as he sits slumped in an armchair. In the matching chair, Erik’s head falls behind him at an awkward angle. His right hand is covered in flaking blood.
Sam struggles to make sense of the sight, something seems off, but his brain feels sluggish. Pieces slowly click into place. We’re in our demon forms, which is weird cause we’re in the human world. All the blood is dry, hours old. Why is there blood? The fight…Sam looks down at his chest and frowns at the white gauze wrapped around his ribs.
Mika’s head and hands lay by his side. Sam’s heart flutters a little as he gazes at her sleeping face. She’s beautiful, even with her hair and cheeks smudged with blood. My blood, Sam realizes, she worries so much about me. I should let her know I’m okay.
As Sam opens his mouth, Mika opens her eyes, and her face takes his breath away. He can feel a goofy smile pulling at his lips.
“You all look like shit.”
As if his words were some kind of spell, the room suddenly buzzes with activity. His brothers swarm around him, asking him and each other a million questions that Sam can’t seem to fully understand. His attention is focused on Mika. She’s grasping his hand with tears in her eyes.
Shit I made her cry again! Sam tries to sit up and pull her into his arms, but he only moves a few inches before blinding pain sucks him back into unconsciousness.
The next time Sam opens his eyes the world comes into focus more easily. He’s lying in bed in what used to be his room. Mika is slumped in a chair pushed right next to the bed. Her hand is limp in one of his own, he can feel the faintest trickle of energy flowing between them. Sam quickly cuts the connection. That was stupid, she could get seriously hurt letting me drain her like that.
Sam opens his mouth to ask her but only a rasping sound comes out. His tongue feels impossibly dry. He notices a bowl of half-melted ice chips and shoves a few in his mouth. As he lets the melting ice soothe his throat, he ponders the feeling of the spells holding his insides together, must’ve been cursed or something.
After the second handful of ice Sam’s mouth finally feels normal enough to swallow a sip of water. His empty stomach cramps painfully around the scant bit of liquid. Sam grimaces and forces himself to take two more slow swallows.
He replaces the now-empty bowl on the side table and starts testing his extremities. He had no problems moving his head and arms just then. His legs feel stiff, but otherwise fine. Sam clenches his core experimentally. A dull pain reminds him of the exact shape of the spear that stabbed him, but honestly his stomach feels worse.
Sam swings his feet to the floor and succeeds in hoisting himself out of bed quietly enough not to disturb the sleeping human. He wobbles dangerously on his first few steps but manages to adjust to the weakness in his knees so that he shuffles fairly efficiently across the room.
Thud.
Sam hisses as the unexpected impact of his horns on the doorframe sends a wave of pain to his head. He sighs and twists his broad horns through the doorway.
Damien suddenly skids into the hall. His eyes look frantic, and his hair is sticking up on one side, but he has enough energy to glamor, Sam notes with relief. Damien dashes at his brother but stops two inches shy of crashing into him. He drops his forehead onto Sam’s shoulder. Sam wraps one arm around his brother and uses the other to smooth his bedhead, It’s alright, bubs. I’m okay.
Damien shakes his head, and Sam can feel tears on his chest. He tilts his neck to smoosh his cheek into the top of Damien’s head. Stop being a dumbass! We were all getting our asses kicked! You can repay me by helping me get some fucking food.
A wet chuckle bubbles out from Damien. He guides Sam’s arm over his shoulders and helps him shuffle down the stairs. They find James and Matthew at the dining room table, also back in their human forms.
“You’re up! And I’ll bet you’re hungry!”, Matthew’s darting into the kitchen before Sam can even nod.
Sam collapses into chair across from James and manages to rasp around the hoarseness in his voice, “Update?”
James looks at Damien who runs off the to kitchen before responding, “You’ve been mostly unconscious since the fight a little over two days ago. The devil syndicate is still a problem, but likely not an imminent threat. Erik, Damien, Matthew, and I received only minor injuries. Mika is unharmed. We are all recovering from critically low energy, though.”
A glass of water slides into Sam’s hands and he thanks Damien silently while slowly sipping from it. “So, why’d you let Mika give energy to an unconscious Incubus?”, Sam’s voice sounds almost normal now and James does not miss the danger in his tone.
Exhaustion is abruptly apparent on James’ face as he pinches the bridge of his nose with his fingers, “Believe me, I tried to explain the risks, but the lady insisted.”
Sam’s eyebrows shoot up, he’d never seen James fail to convince anyone of something important. She must have ‘insisted’ pretty violently. I’d give anything to have seen that! Sam huffs a laugh and immediately regrets it as the dull pain in his chest becomes sharp.
“Don’t go pulling your stitches!” Erik chides as he slides into a seat next to Sam.
“Stiches?” Sam glances down at his demonic body. He quite literally does not have a stitch of clothing on.
“It’s a human expression. But a web of spells is the only thing keeping your blood on the inside until you have enough energy to heal properly…” Erik trails off as he checks on the spells with gently fingers strumming lightly over Sam’s bandaged torso.
Just as he nods in satisfaction, Matthew places a large pizza on the table. “Should I reheat another if everyone’s up?”
“That’s not a bad idea, Matthew. I’ll go see if Mika wants to join us.”, James offers before quickly disappearing up the stairs.
“Sorry it’s leftovers, but I figured fast and filling would be better for now. And-and I’ll cook something fresh for dinner in a few hours. But we’ve just been ordering food while we get our energy up and—”
“C’mere” Sam interrupts Matthew’s rambling.
Once he gets within range, Sam snares Matthew in a one-armed headlock.
“Hey!”
“See? I can still kick your ass, so stop acting like a weird-o”
Matthew escapes Sam’s clutches with a wide grin plastered across his face, “You’re the weird-o!” He gives Sam’s arm a playful smack before retreating to the kitchen.
“What did I just tell you!” Erik hisses, “Don’t over-do it!”
Sam only shrugs as he begins stuffing pizza into his mouth.
James rejoins the group with Mika in his arms. She quickly clambers out of them when she lays eyes on Sam. She shoves her face into his neck and wraps her arms around his shoulders. He can feel her breath shuddering as she tries not to cry, “Hey, no need to be dramatic, doofus!”
“Dramatic?!” Mika draws back to look at Sam with mock indignation, “You’re the one who’s been sleeping all day like some kind of freeloader!” She sniffles and quickly wipes her eyes with the back of her hand.
Sam grins and ruffles her hair. Mika grins back at him and grabs a slice of pizza.
For a few minutes everyone is quiet while they refuel with warm, cheesy goodness. Sam is disappointed in the effects of the food on his body. Instead of feeling his energy increase, his insides seem to move and shift uncomfortably.
Sam instinctively moves his hand to his bandages as the discomfort morphs into a dull ache. When he pulls his hand back, his palm is red with blood. “Shit.”
Mika darts off in a flash. Mere seconds later, the dining room dissolves as Sam materializes in the bedroom. Mika pushes him to sit on the bed.
“Hey, call someone else to get some help—”, Sam starts to complain. But as he notices Mika’s swift, practiced movements his, stomach churns for a different reason. Sam watches Mika’s face as she applies a clean bandage. She’s disturbingly calm, but there’s a slight pinch of worry around her eyes. How often has she had to do this?
“I’m so sorry”, he whispers.
Mika’s breath hitches. She finishes the final few wraps. As she smooths her hands gently over the new bandage, a sob wrenches itself from her body. Her hand flies to her mouth as tears squeeze from her eyes.
Sam feels his heart clench in his chest. He pulls Mika to sit next to him and leans his forehead down to hers. He cries with her, breathing shakily into the narrow space between their faces. His hands come up to cup her cheeks. His thumbs carefully wipe away each tear that falls.
