Splendor knew he was different. He's known it ever since he was a child. He can kill but he's not a cold blooded thirsty killer by trade. He didn't kill unless a person deserved it and even then he had a hard time with it. He knew killing was wrong but when you grow up in a family of murderers AND have to eat humans for sustenance? Well, you could see the dilemma there. Now he was facing another one. His beloved was downright, amazing. Splendor loved them so much. They understood and cared for him but......he felt like he wasn't meant for them! His happy go lucky attitude never phased them but while he's happy to run around a playground they're more content to read a book in the shade. When he's hopping up and down for ice cream they're patiently making an order for the two of them to share.
Y/N was incredible. They were so patient and caring! Everything Splendor had ever dreamed of! It's just.....he didn't feel like the right partner to them. Y/N was content working and reading while he was loud and boisterous. Still, much to his surprise, they stepped out of their comfort zone for him. When he wanted to go to the indoor trampoline park they would gently set their book down, make sure he was dressed in comfortable clothes, and then they would go. While he was doing crazy tricks they were laughing and taking pictures and videos. He didn't find out until later but they knew a few tricks of their own! Still, Splendor had his doubts.
He hides behind a book shelf and peaks in on Slender and his beloved, watching as they laugh over a book together. It was in some old language only the two of them knew so they bonded easily. Splendor tightens his hands into fists as his eyes begin to tear up, wondering what the two were discussing. Probably the plot but he couldn't help but wonder. Y/N and Slender got along so well! Splendor felt like he wasn't good enough for them. Slender was a better fit. Maybe it was time? Y/N deserved to be with someone who made them happy and could get along with them in the same ways Slender did. Splendor just wasn't sure how to bring it up. He loved Y/N so much and the idea of losing them destroyed him. He didn't want to let them go!
"It's rude to stare," Their voice suddenly cuts through his thoughts, his eyes wide as he looks down at his beloved. "What are you doing? Thought you were having a tea party with Sally?"
"She.....wanted to know if you two would join?" He says, quickly hiding any sign of being upset as he smiles. "Sally said we could make your favorite."
"Bribing my reading partner?" Slender laughs as he closes his book. "I'll grab the tea."
"Are you alright?" Y/N asks Splendor once Slender is gone. Crap!
"Yep! We were talking about this cat on TikTok who helps her owner with her seizures. It was so sad and sweet!" He lies with a nervous laugh.
Y/N just stares at him silently, a sigh leaving them before they gently grab his cheeks. His cheeks blush bright red when they pull him in for a kiss, his eyes widening in surprise.
"I love you," They tell him before letting him go and heading to Sally's room.
Splendor sighs softly but follows, the four of them settling at the small table in Sally's room.
"Y/N! I found the best book!" Sally gasps as they drink their tea.
"Oh? Which one?" Y/N asks her with a chuckle.
"It's about this lady who's a maid and she falls for this rich prince!" She explains. "The king holds a ball and she goes but he's supposed to marry the princess. Well, the prince falls in love with the maid and has to challenge to be with her!"
"Oh? I'd love to give that one a read. Cinderella stories are my guilty pleasure," Y/N says with a laugh. "It's how me and your uncle met after all."
"Really?" She gasps. "How?!"
"Well, he was the rich new guy in town. Everyone was in love with him and wanted his attention. He held a masquerade party with the idea of people meeting each other without worrying about status. I came with my date and we stumbled across each other. Let me tell you though, it was like love at first sight," Y/N smiles. "We danced together all night. Well, the clinic I worked at had an emergency so I had to leave in a hurry. We hadn't even introduced ourselves before I left. We just enjoyed being in each other's company."
"Wonder if you would have fallen for Slender if he had been in my place that night?" Splendor pipes up with a thoughtful hum.
"I doubt it," Y/N says pretty bluntly. "Slender is great but we couldn't date."
"No kidding. They're more like a twin than anything. Unless we were doing some Flowers in the Attic kinda thing," Slender snorts with laughter.
"What happens in that book?" Sally gasps.
"Something you don't need to know until you're older," Slender chuckles. "Look, we're out of tea. I'll be right back."
"I'll help!" Sally cheers, the two leaving the room.
"Do you really think I would have chosen Slender over you?" Y/N asks him.
"I mean, you two have so much in common! You both love to read and write, you enjoy the same drinks, you two get along with everything. You just click in everything you go!" Splendor reasons.
"Splendor, just because we get along doesn't mean we're soulmates or whatever. I get along with Sally but I'm not in love with her," Y/N tells him.
"That's different. With you and Slender you have such a great relationship! Anyone who looks at the two of you would think you're a couple," Splendor argues. "You two look like the perfect couple and I feel like I'm holding you back from true potential."
"Splendor......," Y/N trails off, their hands clenching in their lap.
Was this how they made him feel? They didn't mean to. Yes, they got along great with Slender, but they didn't love him romantically. He was a great friend and yeah they had a lot in common but, that's as far as it went. Like Slender said, they're more like twins than partners.
"I just want you to be with someone who can make you happy," Splendor says, his voice barely above a whisper.
Splendor yelps when he's suddenly tackled back, his arms around Y/N as he looks down at them in surprise. They were....crying? No! No, no, no, no, no! He didn't want them to cry! Or were these tears of happiness?!
"Splendor, YOU make me happy. I love you and I'm going to prove it. I'm sorry I've made you feel this way," Y/N whimpers softly as they cling to him.
"Made me feel what way? I just want you happy," He hums, gently stroking their hair.
Y/N relaxes in Splendor's lap when Slender and Sally return with tea. Y/N now had a personal goal. They were going to prove to Splendor he was the one they wanted! Y/N stays glued to Splendor's side over the next week. They take him on dates, make his favorite foods, anything and everything to prove themselves to him. They even put a pause on their book dates with Slender. Whenever they read they would always talk to Splendor about it, trying to share any and everything with him. Still, Splendor wonders if he forced them into this. It wasn't that Y/N wasn't affectionate, they just showed it in different ways and it seemed like they were making a point of being extra affectionate. Was it because they wanted to? He just couldn't understand why they'd love him over Slender......
Splendor sighs and leans forward in bed, rubbing at his temples. He could feel a damn headache coming on.....He looks up when the door opens, his eyes widening and his face flushing bright red when Y/N enters the room. They were in a very revealing black and white maid uniform and his body reacted immediately. Y/N can't help the giggle that escapes, using their phone to put on music before they dance towards Splendor.
"Y-Y/N?" Splendor gasps, watching Y/N crawl into bed.
Y/N slowly crawls up to him before straddling his hips and throwing their arms around his neck. Splendor can't say a word when they silence him with a kiss, his hands roaming their host as he holds them close. They pull back for air with soft pants, saliva still connecting them. Splendor is quick when he shifts in bed, getting Y/N pinned beneath him. He slips off their skirt and tosses it elsewhere, working out of his pants. Y/N throws their arms around Splendor when he moves between their legs, crying out in pleasure when he enters them.
"Splendor!" Y/N moans out as they cling to him, their body trembling from the pleasure.
Splendor growls in response as he claims their body as his, showering their neck and shoulders in love bites. All thoughts of Slender are gone. Splendor and Y/N were both switches so they took turns dominating. Splendor liked being the one in charge in the bed but he didn't mind becoming the bottom either. Y/N didn't care what their role was. They just wanted to be fucked senseless with his delicious cock. Splendor cries out when Y/N's nails rake down his back. He bites into their shoulder and they arch their back in response, their bodies pressing together. Splendor thrusts his hips as he moves in and out of Y/N, enjoying the way their body tightened around him. Splendor pants softly as he presses their bodies together.
"I love you!" Y/N gasps out as they cling to him, their body shuddering as they reach their peak.
Splendor groans as their body pulses around him, pulling him into his own peak. Their bodies tremble as they come together in a passionate kiss, their tongues tangling as it feels as if their bodies become one.
"I love you too," Splendor gasps out, laying beside Y/N.
"Only you can make me feel this way Splendor. You accept me and all of me. No one else will ever cross my mind," They tell him.
"Good, because I don't think I could ever share you," Splendor pants softly.
"I would hope not," Y/N laughs, rolling over into Splendor's chest.
