MIKEY AND ANON
A repository for thread greens featuring mainly Angel Mikey and Anon. This is a work of several anons.Keep up the good work!

--FIRST DATE--

Mikey gives (you) a long rant about honesty, integrity, and timing
gets increasingly flustered and angry talking about how everything needs to be just right
finally she pulls out a bouquet of flowers
turns out she's pissed because she wanted to make the first move
"I'm supposed to take the lead. I'm the guardian angel!"
Mikey insists you take the flowers
and insists you give her a chaste kiss on the cheek as thanks
and keeps on insisting
"I am taking you on a date. You will wear something casual, as we are going to be taking a walk in the park. Remember to comb your hair. We will be getting ice cream so no sweets beforehand."
she sounds like an officer giving orders
but her wings are fluttering like crazy and she can't stop her tail from twitching as she flies off to get ready
Mikey flits about the apartment, humming old marching tunes while taking care of some chores
(you) and her usually split the work but she said you have to shower and shave
"It's important to look presentable for a date. It shows how seriously you're taking it, as well as how much effort you're willing to put in for your partner."
by the time you're done with your shower and shave she's waiting outside the bathroom
you make sure the towel around your waist is firmly affixed
Mikey just laughs
"Don't be so ashamed. It's nothing I haven't seen before."
what?
"What? Forget it. Now come here."
she sets you in front of the mirror and starts combing your hair
"You always miss this cowlick."
Mikey seems satisfied after a few minutes
she finishes off by running her fingers through your hair gently
"Good. You look good."
then she gives you a brush
"Now, it is my turn. Be thorough. I want to look my best."
(you) brush Mikey for half an hour
you told her you thought she looked amazing without the brushing
"Hmph. J-just brush my fur already."
you do as she says
until it's glossy and soft and shiny
and then you keep brushing because Mikey's closed her eyes and leans into your hand every time you brush her
you start patting her head with your other hand
her fur is always so soft
Mikey seems to be in a trance
she even lets you hold her ears to brush them
she never lets you touch the ears
on your fifth pass around with the brush she sniffs and twitches
"What time is it?"
you dunno
you're entranced by Mikey's fur like you're entranced by her brushing
"Anon."
suddenly the brush is in her hand not yours
"We have lost track of time. We are going to be late. You cannot spend all day brushing my fur."
but you like brushing Mikey's fur
"I...liked it very much too. But we have a date. You have agreed to keep your promises."
yeah she's got you there
can't break a promise
Mikey shoos you to go get dress
"You must hurry up now, or we will be late."
she chews her lip as she hovers in your bedroom doorway
"If you are fast enough perhaps there will be time for one more brush."
you dress in bluejeans and a golf shirt
feels good to be wearing clean new clothes
Mikey made a point of shutting the door with a slam before you changed
and when you come back she was in a brand new robe too
deep blue with golden highlights
her chocolate fur is a little ruffled
sadly there's no time for another brush
but Mikey promises you will have time for one after the date
"And perhaps you will allow me to stroke your hair once again."
she says it like a statement but you answer that she can do it whenever she likes
"...thank you."
you leave the apartment with Mikey
it's pretty nice outside
you walk down the street with her walking by your side
she suddenly huffs
"Anon. We are on a date."
yeah you are
did she think you forgot?
"It is customary to hold hands while walking together."
oh yeah
that sounds nice
sure you'll hold her hand
"No. I will hold your hand."
her wings flutter as she takes off so she's tall enough to hold your hand at her side
Mikey squeezes your hand and you continue on
lots of people out today enjoying the first good weather in a while
no one gives you
or Mikey
a second glance
the park is a few blocks from your apartment
just a small path around a grassy area with some trees and a little fenced in dog area
but it still feels nice to be somewhere that isn't all concrete and bricks
who knew touching grass actually helps?
"It is important to spend time like this. Taking walks, connecting with nature."
and on a date with someone really cute?
"Yes. That too."
Mikey wobbles in the air as her wings flutter uncontrollably
"I mean, yes you are very cute."
you blush too
you and Mikey walk on
you watch across the street as you meander through the park
it's lined with shops
a bookstore, an antique store, convenience store
a fancy restaurant where a nicer-dressed couple steps in
a bar on the corner with shutter doors open to let the warm weather in
and then an ice cream parlor
the line for ice cream is out the door
looks like a lot of people had the same idea today
"Not to worry, Anon. We'll be inside in no time. Did I ever tell you the story of the battle of Milvian Bridge?"
Mikey regales you with stories of ancient battles and Roman emperors
she loves stories like that
the line moves along faster thanks to Mikey's storytelling
from the big details to the little stories of lone soldiers moments of bravery
and she remembers all the names of the people who fought there
"...and with the bridge destroyed behind him, Maxentius had nowhere to flee when the forces of Constantine descended on his army..."
the sun beats down on you, and your mouth starts watering at the thought of that ice cream
thankfully the line gets to the front door
Mikey holds it open for you
once inside you get your favorite flavor
mint chocolate
Mikey gets rocky road
you can't help but snicker at how it matches her chocolate brown fur with white speckles
of course you pay for it, Mikey doesn't carry mortal money
"I ought to have paid, Anon. It is only right as I have taken you on this date."
it's okay though
having a job means you can afford a little treat for you and Mikey
she insists on holding the door for you again on the way out
you thank her with a kiss on the cheek
just like she said you should
"Least I can do."
you get out onto the street with ice cream in hand
you're ready to start your walk home when the sound of an ambulance siren rings out
across the park you see the red and white lights flashing as they race down the road
Mikey's ears twitch and turn to follow them
she bites her lip
"I am sorry, Anon."
you shrug
you don't mind
it's her job, after all
Mikey sighs in relief
"Please, hold this. You may have a bite. I will not be long."
her wings flap hard and she takes off
Mikey follows the ambulance to the emergency
you're left on the sidewalk to take in the day
and take a bite of rocky road
it's a lovely day
a soft breeze in the spring air
the sun is shining
dogs are barking from the park
people are walking by
the sound of clattering glasses and laughter is echoing from the open patio of the bar
you go back to eating your ice cream
it's good, but it's making you thirsty
could go for a drink
of water
just water
you crunch down on the cone of your ice cream to finish it off
you can get a drink when you get home
Mikey's is starting to melt
you lick the little threads of it that runs down your fingers
thirsty
but you're fine
you're fine
maybe you should just walk home
Mikey will understand
she'll meet you there
you start down the street
toward the other end of the block
nowhere else
you walk past the ice cream parlor
and the restaurant
the book store
antique store
convenience store
and then
you stop
maybe you could stop for a drink of water
like buy one at the convenience store
or get one at the bar
you could just go in and ask for a glass of water
for free
yeah that would work
you turn to the open patio
though if you're already here you could get a beer
on a day like today it'd be really refreshing
and it would just be one
not like you'd be drinking the hard stuff
you could handle just one beer
you're not in college anymore
but Mikey probably won't be happy
but Mikey's not here
you make all the way to the bar
and watch as the waitress trots over with a smile
"Hi! What can I get you?"
a beer
you almost say "a beer"
then you grimace and turn around and stagger back outside
"Anon!"
you aren't paying attention and run right into Mikey
she's hovering at just the right height to smash her ice cream into her robe
you stagger back
fuck
I'm sorry
I'm so sorry
"Anon."
your eyes are stinging
Mikey grabs your shoulders
you didn't do it you almost did you wanted to so bad but you didn't
"Anon!"
you shut up
Mikey shoves her face in yours
her green eyes are all you can see
"It's okay, Anon."
Mikey puts her hands on your cheeks
and she presses her forehead to yours
her fur is still glossy and soft
"Look at me."
you're looking at her
"You did not drink any?"
no
you wanted to so bad
but no
Mikey sighs
then puts her around around your shoulders in a hug
you hold onto her
you're sorry about her robe too it looked really nice
"Hush. It will wash."
Mikey's cheek is on yours and she rubs it against you
her fur is so soft
it feels like heaven
"I am sorry I left you, Anon. But you did so well. You fought your temptation."
you shiver
you almost lost it
"But you fought. I am proud of you."
Mikey squeezes you so tight it's hard to breathe
"You are doing better every day."
but it's hard
you're weak
you're not good enough
you're going to fail again
"Forget what lies behind. Strive forward to what lies ahead."
her hand strokes your hair again
"Tomorrow will be better than today."
Mikey holds you like that for a long time
you stain her robe with some tears
you don't care if people watch or stare or what they see
you just hold onto Mikey
then when she lets go she smiles for you
"Dry your tears anon. I will take you home."
you sniff and nod your head and laugh a little
taking you home on the first date?
isn't that a little forward?
"That is not--I wouldn't ever--"
Mikey huffs and shakes her head disapprovingly
"Such jokes are childish, Anon. You know well to save yourself for marriage."
Mikey turns and fidgets with her fingers
mumbling something about temperance and resisting temptation
sounds like she's saying it to herself
but when she's done she's back to her normal self
and you feel almost back to normal too
Mikey holds your hand on the walk home
and leads you up to the apartment
and sets you on the couch
when she sits down next to you she's back in her normal robe
and she has a smile on her face
"Thank you for going out with me, Anon."
technically you asked her out
Mikey cuddles to your side
"Hush."

--SECOND DATE AT THE REN FAIR--

you ask Mikey on another date
she crosses her arms and taps her foot
so cute
you ask Mikey to take you on another date
"I planned on it, Anon."
you suggest the renaissance fair
she likes history so much it would be fun
you could even wear that cool armor she got you
"In public?"
you don't see why not
"Oh no. There is no reason why not. That is just normal armor. You can wear it."

Be Anon
Expected Mikey to kinda shift her view to others as some kind of noble warrior
She doesn't, she grabs her divine armor which gleams in the Lord's rays
At the Ren fair she keeps boasting her historical prowess, explaining many battles from the first Hebrew battles to the Catholic crusades
As you're walking around a very scantily and skimpy dressed young woman comes up to you, she's dresses like a priestess of some kind
Keeps getting close and kind of follows you around
She finally calls you over and gets closer, telling you she digs the armor and to ditch your "sister" for a bit
You try to politely decline and back off a bit
Your pleas fall on deaf ears as you're not a very social person
"Anon! What are you doing!?"
oshitohfuckshesgonnakickyourass
You stutter out that you're sorry
"That's not important! What's important is this...this...HARLOT'S attire!"
The woman brushed her off saying to stop role-playing and to let her brother (you) have fun
"Bro...brother!? That's my boyfriend you shameless whore!"
You're both stunned, even Mikey places a hand around her mouth
The woman is enraged, and tries to walk up to Mikey
uhoh
The woman stops and backs away, suddenly fearful and quickly apologizes then runs off
You look back at Mikey and realize she's radiating a very frightening aura
She looks at you and looks scared, the feeling of fear is gone
You walk up to her and she apologizes, saying she shouldn't have acted so rash
You apologize as well and you both hug it out
You both go on about the fair normally
Except...
That sentence lingers in your mind
"...boyfriend..."
Mikey would never outright state it like that unless she meant it
Look down at her and see she's enjoying some fresh celery sticks
You're the luckiest guy in the world

Mikey and you try to enjoy the rest of the ren fair
she keeps pointing out historical inaccuracies
"A German sallet? With tenth century style chain?"
you just smile and nod
and hand her some honey roasted nuts you bought
thankfully she brought two big jugs of water for a whole day of walking around in armor and eating salty snacks
you don't know where she keeps them but it's a relief when you take a break
you watch the juggling acrobatics show
Mikey flutters her wings
"I could do flips like that for you, Anon. I simply do not wish to upset the performers."
she'll definitely give you an air show when you get home
then you get to the games
"How many prizes would you like, Anon?"
as much as she can win you guess
shouldn't have said that
the knife toss, the archery range, whack-a-knave
her fluffy hands are a blur as she aces every one
you're left with an armful of stuffed animals
then you come to the main attraction
the strongman game
"You have been training very hard, Anon. You can do it."
you're nudged up to the front of the line
you pick up the hammer
three tries
first one you heave it up, and your hand slips
whump
you make a little divot in the dirt
you growl and try again
this time you hit the target as hard as you can
the roller gets about halfway up the board then falls down with a disappointing clink
you step back from the game and sigh
still not good enough
there's a rush of wings at your back
Mikey's voice tickling your ear
"I believe in you, Anon."
you step forward again
reinvigorated
and grip the hammer
it feels half as heavy as before
you heave it up
and down smack dab in the middle of the target
the bar clangs
the roller whirs
and DING!
it hits the gong so hard it echoes over the entire fair
"Winner!"
the barker cries
you get your pick of prizes
only one choice
you grab a little stuffed knight with a sword and shield
and you give it to Mikey
the perfect gift for your girlfriend

Mikey offers to carry all your stuffed animals
she somehow fits them all in a pocket or something on her robe
you still hold on to your favorite, a little stuffed rabbit
it's brown like Mikey, but lacks her white spots
still feels nice to have it poking out of the authentic leatherwork pouch on your back
the two of you wander around the fair for a while
checking out shops and stalls
but with Mikey hovering over your shoulder you don't have a chance to pick something out for her
nothing you'll keep a secret anyways
as you walk down one row of stalls Mikey grabs your shoulder plate and points toward a wide open pavilion in an open field where a crowd was gathered
"What's going on down there?"
you look closer
it looks like they have some sort of dance
"We are going."
huh?
but you still have a few shops
"Anon. We are going dancing."
yes
you are going dancing with Mikey
Mikey practically drags you to the pavilion by the tabard
there's some lively music going and a crowd of people are dancing in pairs to a band of minstrels
one of the minstrels is using an electric keyboard
Mikey takes the lead
at first it's awkward cause you have to lean down to reach her hands
but then she flaps her wings and hovers at chest height
and then a little higher so you look up to her
she takes your hand and then puts her other hand on your waist
"I will lead. This dance is a Basse."
you have no idea what that means
but Mikey is easy to follow along with
with her feet hovering off the ground you can't step on her toes
"One-two-three, four-five-six. One-two-three, four-five-six."
you do your best to move your feet in time
you stumble once or twice but Mikey just smiles and encourages
"It's okay. I have a little more practice at this."
the plucking strings come to a crescendo and Mikey spins you around one last time
then suddenly she dips you
you cling onto Mikey so you don't fall
but she holds you up easily
armor and all
for a moment the world fades away
you're not in the middle of a field in the summer heat in a crowd
it's just you and Mikey
and Mikey's everything
she's the light, and the music, and the warmth
her eyes sparkle
when she lifts you back up you can't hold back from kissing her
a simple brush
your lips meet her
her fur gently tickling your skin
Mikey stiffens and frowns
oh no
you messed it up
you went too far
she's going to hate you
what were you thinking
oh no
no no no
she's still angry
"Anon."
why do you ruin everything?
"I was supposed to kiss you."
you blink
and then she kisses you back
it's just as brief
but more forceful
and then she draws back with a sigh
her wings are fluttering
Mikey shivers and gently lowers to the ground
her eyes are still shining
"This has been lovely, Anon."

you finish the day at the food stalls
you go with a classic giant turkey leg
after getting Mikey's permission to ruin your diet
"Very well. Since it is a special occasion."
Mikey got the salad
while you're eating she fiddles with something under her robe
when the meal is done and you stand to go she stops you
"Anon."
you ask her what's up
"There is one thing I wanted to give you. Here."
from under her robe Mikey pulls a new tabard
this one is different from the white and red one you're wearing
the main color is blue, the same soft blue of her robe
and on it is the symbol of a hare on its hind legs
the hare is green
the same green as her eyes
it's perfect

--SUNDAY CUDDLES--

be Anon
it's a sunday
(you) know what that means
you've been at work all day
apartment is freshly cleaned
though you've been striving to keep it nice
some bread cooling on the counter
you started baking and cooking for yourself lately
you turn on some music
something soft to relax to
and you have the kettle set to boil
you don't really like tea, but it helps Mikey relax
you are used to preparing for sunday evening when--
"Anon! I'm home!"
there it is
Mikey calls from just on the other side of the apartment door
the door flings open
and a bolt of brown fur and blue robes flies through the doorway
and right into your arms
Mikey knocks the wind out of you
she locks you in a hug with her arms, her legs, and her wings
you say hello to Mikey
"Hello Anon."
she sighs and rubs her face into your chest
you keep one arm around her and walk into the kitchen
a cup of tea and a slice of bread that still steams with heat
it's a good thing Mikey is so strong so she can hold herself up while your hands are full
and it's a good thing she keeps you working out so you can hold her weight while you move
you bring Mikey and the food to the couch
her wings are so soft the way they brush against your arms
you sit down with a sigh
Mikey nuzzles into your chest again
then she turns around so she can sit in your lap
you set Mikey's food in her lap
she sighs
if they weren't folded up against you her wings would be fluttering
"This is lovely, Anon. Coming home to a warm cup of tea and hot food makes my work so much easier."
and having someone to cuddle with is nice
Mikey's blushing
"Yes. I enjoy cuddling very much."
Mikey leans back against you
her ears brush against your cheeks
you kiss the top of her head
you and Mikey sit together enjoying and sharing each-other's warmth
after she's finished her tea she shuts her eyes
you too let your body relax
with arms wrapped around Mikey, you drift off to sleep

some time later you wake up
the weight of Mikey is still on your lap
the bluetooth speaker lets out a soft croon
'Earth Angel, Earth Angel. please be mine...'
the sun has set, and the apartment is dark
Mikey's breath a soft rustle against your chest
you yawn and stretch as well as you can
gently you start to lift Mikey off of you so you can stand
but her wings suddenly splay out
pinning you to the couch
"Where are you going?"
you were going to get up, stretch, maybe use your computer a little
"Hm. No. It's only been two hours and seven minutes."
you know she wants minimum three hours, but Mikey was asleep
"I was not asleep. But I understand."
really?
"Yes. You may stretch for five minutes, and then we will cuddle again."
oh
well
that's fair enough you guess
after a long day at work, and you know how bad her work can get, she deserves some extra cuddles
Mikey flutters off your lap
you also stand up, stretching you arms, legs, and back
just like she trained you
once you're limbered up you turn back to the couch to find Mikey sitting down already
she pats her lap
"Lay your head on my lap, Anon. This will be more comfortable for you."
you do as she says
Mikey's lap surprisingly plush beneath her robe
a fuzzy hand strokes your hair
Mikey's eyes glow a soft green as she smiles down at you
this is pretty nice
"It is. I saw it in your Japanese comics."
oh
good thing you deleted the worst of those before she started using your computer
Mikey laughs softly
"Relax. Just get some rest, Anon. We both need it."

--WORKING OUT--

the gym was closed
Mikey is disappointed
working out is one of her favorite things to do with you
she gives you a proper workout, and manages to make everyone else look weak at the same time
but some pipe burst and flooded the place so now you're back home after a walk around the park for some light cardio
"I do not like breaking this routine, Anon. You must take care of your health."
you don't think missing one day at the gym is that bad
but you can still get a little workout at home
Mikey blinks
then she narrows her eyes
"what do you mean, Anon?"
there's still body weight stuff
Mikey scratches her chin and nods slowly
"You are right Anon. We will do what we can at home. I will start."
you shrug
works for you
but Mikey directs you to lie on the living room floor in front of her
you thought she was going first
"I am. Clasp your hands together over your chest."
you do as Mikey says
then in one hand she grabs your two hands clasped together
and with the other reaches between your legs to grasp a thigh
brown fur on bare skin
you shiver
then she hauls you up off the ground with a soft huff
"You are quite light, Anon. I will simply have to perform extra reps until you have more muscle."
you barely register what she's saying
your entire body has gone rigid and you're trying to focus on not getting dropped to the floor
Mikey uses you like a barbell to do arm curls
then your stomach flips when she heaves you up over her head to do overhead lifts
then she lowers you to the floor to do rows
the whole time you're getting a core workout as you have to hold your body still as a post
Mikey lets you down onto your feet, then lays on the floor herself
she holds her arms up in a ready position
"Last set, Anon. Lay back."
she wants to bench press you
you are certain you'll fall and crack your skull
"I will not let you down. Until the first rep."
Mikey giggles
you roll your eyes at the joke
and then fall back into her waiting hands
Mikey holds you up
one paw between your shoulders
the other just below the small of your back
you're sweating
she lowers you down
holds you there for a moment
then heaves you back up
down
wait
up
down
wait
sniffsniffsniff
up
you blink
you must be imagining things
Mikey does several more reps
some of them take a little longer than others
finally she finishes with one last burst of reps
then Mikey turns and lets you down
you clamber to your feet with a little effort
your muscles are sore from just being used as a barbell
Mikey is on her feet with a sweep of her wings
she's smiling even more than usual after a workout
you'd almost think she enjoys manhandling you
"Why yes, I do, Anon. I always enjoying being close with you."
there's a slight blush to her cheeks, but she still smiles proudly
"Please, would you fetch us some water?"
you nod and go into the kitchen
by habit you pull open the fridge and look inside
and a pang of craving hits you
but you only have bottles of water in there
nothing else
not today
you grab two bottles and return to Mikey
she takes one and drinks deeply
finishing with a sigh, Mikey smiles up at you
"Very well. Now it is time for your workout."
Mikey lays down on the floor in front of you
you go to pick her up when she stops you
"Hm. You are already used to lifting me. Let me add some weight."
in a flash she's clad in armor
full plate from head to toe
only her ears are uncovered by gleaming golden with royal blue trim
you try to keep your hands from shaking
though you can't keep your palms from sweating
when you grasp a thigh and clasped hand to lift Mikey
you heave and she doesn't move
"Try again. Remember to keep your back straight. Use your legs."
you follow Mikey's advice
and lift with all your might
still nothing
it's like trying to move a slab of solid iron
Mikey coos
"I apologize, Anon. Perhaps something more sixteenth century."
there's another flash
the full plate is gone, and now she just has a cuirass of polished steel covering her torso
"That should be enough for you. You may proceed."
you take her again
feeling her thigh through her robe
and her soft fluffy hands clasped around yours
and lift
she's heavy still
but not impossible this time
Mikey runs you through the same exercises she did
first the curls
only she manages to ambush you with a romantic gesture
every time you lift her up she gives you a kiss on the cheek
and every time you lower her she giggles
then over your shoulders for squats
Mikey whispers encouragement to you while her whiskers tickle your ear
"Keep it up, Anon. Keep it up!"
and with the overhead lifts her ears brush against your hair
you set Mikey down for the bench press
it's easier for her to get in position, fluttering her wings as she falls back into your waiting hands
focus
this is a workout
you bring her down
then push her up
down
up
you're strong
stronger than before
not as strong as Mikey
but strong enough to finish this
by the end of the set your arms are trembling from the effort
you hoist Mikey into the air one last time and then go limp
Mikey flutters in the air
"Well done Anon! Your personal best!"
you give her a tired thumbs up
feels like your arms are spaghetti
"Good work deserves a reward."
Mikey swoops down
her arms slip under you, and you're lifted in a bridal carry
all you can do is throw a lazy arm around her shoulders
usually you're the one that's carrying her when she gets home from her work
"Did you think I couldn't lift you so easily, Anon? If you like, I could do this for you more often."
you'll have to think on that
you think she just wants more chances to carry you around
"Perhaps."
Mikey flits you to your bedroom
she lays you down on the bed so your head rests on her crossed legs
"I seem to recall you enjoyed resting like this. Let me hold you a while, Anon. Then you should shower."
you lie there a while and Mikey strokes your hair
you promise to brush her fur in return
but for now you're too exhausted to lift a finger
"Not to worry, Anon. Every day we get a little stronger. Tomorrow we'll work legs so your arms are able to brush."

--FIRST AID--

be Anon
at home with Mikey
you had the day off work so you're getting chores out of the way
"Keep up with the work now, and it will be easier later."
she's quick to remind you
you're in the kitchen washing dishes
you can hear Mikey in the other room
she's singing one of her army songs
"He has sounded forth the trumpet that shall never call retreat..."
Mikey really likes that one
you can hear her over the vacuum
there's a flutter of wings in the kitchen doorway
you smile as you watch her marching
Mikey has to have the vacuum nearly flat to the ground for her to reach the handle comfortably
it's cute
not as cute as the way her puff tail twitches and wings flap in time to her marching tune
you shake your head
you can't believe-
ow
fuck!
you look down in the sink
you were so busy paying attention to Mikey you cut your hand on the knife you were watching
damn that hurts
the singing stops and the vacuum turns off
there's a rush of wings
and then Mikey is wrapped around your arm
"Anon! What happened? Are you hurt?"
it's nothing
just a cut
"Show me."
you hold up your hand
a cut on your palms that leaks dark red blood into the sink
you've had worse cuts
"Quiet. You stay right there."
she wings across the kitchen
she comes back with a first aid kit as big as she is
more like a mobile surgery kit
you do not remember buying it
"First, wash that wound."
Mikey doesn't wait for you to act, taking your hand and running it under water in the sink
you hiss in pain
and Mikey flinches sympathetically
"Almost done."
she pulls your hand out and dries it off with a patch of gauze
she presses a fresh dressing against the cut then quickly wraps it in bandages
"There."
Mikey finishes by taping down the bandaging and squeezing your hand
it feels better already
Mikey smiles sheepishly
"I'm no Raphael, but I know a little bit. Please be more careful, Anon."
you promise to try to be less distracted by how cute Mikey is
she blushes
"Hush."
you thank Mikey one last time and reach for the knife to clean it again
it's covered in blood now
but Mikey snags your wrist
"Oh no. You keep that bandage dry."
does she think you're going to cut yourself again or something?
"No, no of course not. I just think I can do the dishes, and you can vacuum now."
you roll your eyes
you're not a child
"But you're still a mortal. And I can't stand to see you hurt."
Mikey looks hurt enough by the idea that you don't want to fight her on the matter
if she thinks it's best and it will make her feel better then you'll go vacuum and she can handle the knives
"Thank you, Anon."
you try to leave the kitchen
but Mikey still has your wrist in her hand
"Does your hand still hurt?"
well yeah
you just cut it
Mikey brings your hand up and places a kiss over the bandage
the pain fades away
"There. Now, back to work. Rest on your injuries too long and I'll think you're being lazy."

--BAD DREAMS--

be anon
(you) have been sharing a bed with Mikey for a while now
at first she complained, talking about impropriety and waiting for marriage
then she just huffed when you cuddled with her
but soon enough she insisted on cuddling every night
and wrapped her wings around you and wouldn't let you go when it was time for bed
one Sunday night she was extremely exhausted
she couldn't even fly in through the door
Mikey even seemed a little angry
but when you tried to talk to her about she just waved you off
"I will be okay Anon. Just a long, long day. Zagzagel and his problems..."
you don't know what that means
Mikey doesn't explain
she goes straight to bed, not even accepting evening cuddles or dinner
that night you're troubled
uncomfortable
you feel your cravings hard
usually you'd go to Mikey whenever they were bad
but you don't want to interrupt her sleep if she's doing that bad
so you reheat a lonely dinner and retire to the couch
it takes a while for your to actually get to sleep
you toss and turn
and shiver
but finally pass out
you wake up to white light
empty void of unending white light
you try to look around you
but your gaze is dragged to one point
you try to see what's there but you can't comprehend
at first it just looked like more white
but then it resolves
and you see more
and more
and more
and more than you can understand
wings
eyes
fire
wings, eyes, fire
they see you
the eyes look down at you
it's so much
too much
you see it and it is everything and you can't understand
it pushes all other thought from your mind and fills you with burning light until you are hollow
it speaks
"Anon."
and then you knew no more

"Anon! Anon!"
you gasp
eyes fly open
Mikey is there
she's kneeling beside the couch
one hand placed on your cheek as she tries to rouse you
you feel its warmth
it is the same as the burning fire
and you recoil
what's happening?
what happened?
you curl up and close your eyes again
but burned into your mind's eye is the searing pain
you can't look at her
and you can't look away
you long for her comforting touch
and you don't dare face the scouring flame
"Anon."
you grit your teeth
taking shuddering breaths
hand on your shoulder
the fire
the warmth
"Anon, look at me."
you can't deny it
so you let yourself be turned over
to look up at Mikey
meet her soft green eyes
you tremble
"I am sorry. It should not have happened."
it hurts
"I know. I know. Be still. Let me hold you."
again you cannot deny her
and you can do nothing while she cradles your head in her hands and presses her forehead to yours
you always knew
but never understood how truly different she was
until tonight
Mikey shushes you and kisses you
"Just look at me. I am here. I will always be here. For you."

you wake up in the morning
still tired with a pulsing headache
you're on the couch for some reason
laying on your back with Mikey's head resting on your chest
you start petting one of her ears
better let her sleep
you breathe slowly, trying to remember what happened last night
it was a normal Sunday
until Mikey came home
went right to bed
you remember the lukewarm leftovers
then the craving
then nothing
a shiver runs down your spine
for a terrible moment you're afraid you let yourself relapse
but a quick glance around the room disproves that
it's just as clean as it was yesterday
and despite the throbbing headache and full-body exhaustion, you definitely don't feel like you snuck outside, got blackout drunk, and snuck back home unnoticed
so you're left with a mystery
what fuck happened that you can't remember?
Mikey stirs
you stop stroking her fur as she turns her head over
one eye cracks open
looking at you
good morning Mikey
"Anon."
she picks her head up
she looks worried
and like she's majorly sore from sleeping while kneeling on the floor
"I'm okay. How are you feeling?"
besides tired, you're mostly confused
just to be sure you ask Mikey if you were drinking last night
"No."
just making sure
you didn't think she'd let you get away with that
does Mikey know what happened then?
"I do."
well that's an answer
Mikey is looking more worried now
is something wrong?
"It is hard to explain. I had to make you forget."
make you forget?
like just wipe out your memory?
Mikey buries her face in your chest
she sighs
"Yes. I am sorry Anon. It was the only way to fix what I had done."
oh
what did she do?
did you finally beat her at chess and she said a swear?
Mikey's stiffens
or did she trip on her robe and look like a klutz?
"Anon this is not a joking matter."
you shrug
probably not
but it's kind of funny to joke about anyways
Mikey picks her head up to stare at you
searching your expression with narrowed eyes
you smile back
there isn't any permanent damage, right?
"No. No you shouldn't remember at all."
then you don't see a problem
you trust Mikey
if you had to forget some crazy angel stuff to keep from going insane then you're glad she did it for you
mostly you were worried you had done something wrong
Mikey trembles
then she throws her arms around you and squeezes you so tight your ribs hurt
ow
Mikey just keeps hugging until you're out of breath
"Thank you Anon. For understanding."
so was it the chess thing?
"Of course not. You will never out-strategize me."
you're not so sure
there was that time you beat her at Command and Conquer
Mikey huffs
"You exploited the game. It does not count."
now you're sure it's a chess thing
Mikey squeezes you to shut you up
it works pretty good
"Call off work today, Anon."
uh oh
are you in trouble?
"No."
Mikey lifts you from the couch with a flap of her wings
you stand upright and let yourself be dragged to the bedroom
Mikey has you shuck yesterday's clothes and climb into bed
"You need your rest."
she's right about that
you're so tired you forget to tease Mikey for strongarming you into your boxers
and you only kind of notice the blush spreading under her fur
but Mikey doesn't mention it as she hops onto the bed
she puts her arms around you, turning you to be the little spoon
even thougy she's the littlest spoon
then her wings coccoon you
a familiar warmth and softness of her white-tipped feathers soothing you
"...and I need you."

--WHEN YOU DREAM--My thanks to Inco and Lucy anon! Keep up the good work!

be anon
asleep on a sunday morning
Mikey lets you sleep in on sundays so you can stay late cuddling
so she's usually gone by the time you wake up
one morning though
you wake up early
the sensation of something soft on your cheek
and Mikey's voice singing
"I'm lonesome since I crossed the hill, and over the moorland sedgy.."
you recognize the feeling
the soft fur of her paw is tracing over your cheek
slowly back and forth
"...such lonesome thoughts my heart do fill, since parting from my Nonny..."
you crack one eye open
Mikey is silhouetted in the light from the hall
she's standing over the bed and you
staring down at you
you open your eyes fully
Mikey blinks
then strokes your cheek again
"Shh. Go back to sleep Anon."
you would like to
but this is a little unexpected
you try to ask her more but she puts a fuzzy finger in front of your lips
"Shh. I do this every Sunday. Just sleep."

be anon
Sunday rolls around again
you wanted to see if she did watch you sleep
you found it kind of endearing
if not a little creepy- but in a way you didn’t mind
you lay in bed silently making sure you stayed awake despite the bed having that comforting smell of her
you hear the door creak open
floorboards creaking ever so gently
your carful not to show signs your awake
you feel the bed next to you shift in place
and that familiar feeling of a soft paw gently land on your cheek
now that your fully awake you feel just how gentle she is
when it’s just the two of you having around she always has just a little force behind her with how strong she is
never in a bad way of course you find it cute
but now that she’s trying not to wake you up
its the most caring touch you’ve felt
you hear her take a breath and start singing to herself almost too quiet to hear
”you are my sunshine…my only sunshine”
its..very hard not to get up and tell her your awake
”you make me happy..when skies are grey…you’ll never know dear..how much I love you”
your holding back tears as hard as your able
”please don’t take, my sunshine away”
it’s impossible
the tears flow silently from your eyes hearing her words
you shift and adjust as you slowly raise your head to look at her
your girlfriend
your guardian angel
..the love of your life
her soft green eyes stare at you a little surprised you woke up
but not disappointed
”i’m sorry I woke you up again”
you pause- confessing that you were awake
she looks confused her eyes scanning you
”Anon staying up late isn’t good for your health-“
you tell her you wanted to hear her sing
you were curious about what she did anything to you while you slept
it was a light teasing, her cheeks blush under her soft brown fur
she sits there unsure what to say, embarrassed obviously but
the tender way she looked at you
you don’t think she could rebuttal if she tried
you lean towards and give Mikey a hug
the tightest one you can squeezing your body against the angel not wanting to have a second away from her
she huffs softly and rests her head on your shoulder
you add on- that your also glad you got to hear her call you Nonny
her wing slaps the back of your head
you chuckle softly but before long the two of you just hold the embrace
”try not to stay up too long it’s not healthy for you”
you say you’ll get good rest
knowing she’s watching over you
she moves close and plants a tender kiss on your cheek as she softly guides the both of you into laying down properly
you tell her you love her
”I love you too Anon”

the next morning you wake up like you usually do
surrounded by a cocoon of wings, and wrapped up in Mikey's arms
you yawn and stretch
as much as you can with Mikey's wings holding you down
good morning Mikey
"Hello Anon."
doesn't she mean "Nonny"?
you tease
"No I do not. I only used it to fit the meter of the song."
uh oh
she has her angry voice on
"You have to be careful, Anon."
careful?
what does she mean?
"What I mean is you should not be throwing around your emotions so carelessly. It's important to have the right timing, and be in the right company and mood to say exactly what you mean."
oh
you think you know what this is about
"I am sure you do, Anon. I had a date planned for this Friday."
and at this date she planned on...
"I was supposed to say 'I love you first'. You know I am the guardian angel."

--DATE NIGHT--

be Anon
it's finally Friday
Mikey spoiled the surprise earlier in the week but now you can be ready for date night
and surprise her
you bought a suit
and even a tie
and brought them with you to change before you got home
you bought a bouquet of flowers as well
just to get her like when you started dating
you run a comb through your hair on your way up to the apartment
and throw open the door
Mikey, I'm home--
Mikey twirls about
you're stunned
she's dressed up too
a beautiful cream-colored dress that compliments her chocolate fur
matching the cute little spot around her eye
and her eyes shadowed, lashes lined
she wears long, elegant gloves matching her dress, and a necklace of pearls
"Oh Anon, you're home alread--"
Mikey freezes when she sees you
her jaw drops
just like yours did
you and Mikey stare at each other in dumbfounded shock
and admiration
then with a lash of her wings she bolts across the hall and slams into your arms
you're knocked on your ass
Mikey doesn't let up
peppering your face with kisses
"Cute! Handsome! My Anon! You look amazing!"
she's messing up your hair and rumpling up your suit
you don't care
she showers you in affection and you hug her close
it's going to be a lovely date night
Mikey finally lets you go
she finishes with one last kiss on the lips
then pulls you up by the hands by flapping her wings
you still can't look away from her
she looks amazing
stunning
beautiful
incredible
you shower her in compliments
Mikey wobbles in the air her wings are fluttering out of control
"Anon! Please, you can't just..."
tell her the truth?
Mikey is beautiful and you're going to say it
it's wrong to lie after all
Mikey's face is flushed
she has to drop to the floor
but her wings go on fluttering
"We are going to be late Anon. We have a reservation, and I do not want us to miss it."
Mikey ushers you back out the door
a reservation?
where?
she makes reservations?
Mikey gives you a sly grin as she takes your hand
"I have my ways. We will be having dinner and dessert, and a further surprise afterward. You're well rested, aren't you?"
you are
Mikey made sure of it
dragging you to bed early and refused to let you out of her wings until the morning
guess it's going to be a late night
you and Mikey walk hand in hand out to the street
she takes you down the street past the park
to the restaurant at the end of the block
you swallow
this place is swank
way out of your price range
you still take the bus to work for goodness sake
"It's okay, Anon."
though you didn't say it, Mikey must have caught your expression
"I'm the guardian angel. I've taken care of everything."
she has
the hostess welcomes you
a reservation under "Michael"
you get a table immediately
the waiter is there with a wine list
Mikey takes it
"Just water for us, thank you."
you nod your head gratefully
not that you were going to do anything
but Mikey makes it all so much easier
she puts in your order as well
a salad for her, and the filet for you
neither of you even looked at the menu yet
she has been preparing for this
"Of course. I want tonight to be special. Perfect."
perfect like her?
Mikey's wings flutter
"Shush."
you watch the waiter go
and then look to Mikey who gives you a soft smile
you can't help but stare
the restaurant's soft lighting only enhancing the effect her beauty has
Mikey's nose twitches
her wings flutter against the back of her chair
"If you continue to stare like that, Anon, I will simply have to kiss you again."
you can't help it
Mikey is perfect
it's impossible to look away
though it might cause a scene, a bunny flying across the table to attack you like she did back at the apartment
Mikey snickers
"Did you think I appear as a hare to all the world?"
you...
hadn't really thought of it
at first you didn't think she was real at all
and then
it didn't matter
she was there for you and that was all that mattered
and you didn't care what she looked like
even if she is very cute
"You are cute."
Mikey's usual counter
then she shakes her head
"I admit, I enjoy this form. But the rest of the world sees..."
Mikey seems to change
the hare fades, replaced by a human woman
her hair the same chocolate brown of her fur
a body toned and muscular beneath the same cream colored dress
but her eyes
the same soft green that look at you with deep affection
then she's a hare again
you tell her she's beautiful no matter what form she takes
Mikey blushes
the meal comes and goes while you speak
and dessert is a single serving
a small bowl of ice cream
mint chocolate and rocky road
Mikey insists on feeding you with the spoon
a cute gesture that ends with a mint-green stain on your tie when you lean over the table and it dips into the bowl
Mikey frowns
but you laugh it off
the tie will wash
you return the gesture, giving Mikey a bite of her ice cream
Mikey does a better job of not fucking it up
"I would not put it so crassly, Anon."
you still got her to laugh though
the ice cream goes faster than dinner
you finish off the last bite
"We will be working this off tomorrow, you know."
tomorrow is saturday
leg day
you groan
Mikey gives you a chiding look
"Leg day is good for you, Anon. Diligent hands bring wealth."
that may be but Mikey doesn't look at your hands when you do your squats
Mikey blinks and blushes
"You could tell--"
she clears her throat
and looks away to hide her blush
"I was checking your form."
did she like what she checked?
you don't get a chance to see her flustered reaction
as the waiter approaches and sets the bill on the table
Mikey reaches across the table and snatches it
she pulls a small fold of bills from her purse and slides them into the booklet
you stare
since when did Mikey carry cash?
she never bothers with money
"Normally I do not. But this is a special occasion. And Zagzagel owed me a favor."
you can't believe it
she mugged Zaggy for the cash?
"Mug? I'm not a footpad. I impressed upon him the importance of tonight."
Mikey looks rather pleased with herself
and you don't argue when the waiter takes the check away
not like you could afford this place without selling a kidney
"You do not have to be rich, Anon."
you know
you just wish you could do better
you're still scratching by
and some days are worse than others
much worse
Mikey puts her hands doen on the table
it's a quiet 'thump' but it's enough to stop you
"Silence."
Mikey rises from the chair
she holds out her hand expectantly
and you stand to take it
"Good boy."
you follow her out of the restaurant
the sun has set outside
it's a clear night
the stars have come out
Mikey tugs your hand, and pulls you down
then lifts you up in a bridal carry
her wings open wide and flap hard
you clutch onto her as she takes off
flying in the air is a lot different to being carried around the apartment
"I have you. Do not be afraid."
the flight is thankfully short
Mikey alights on a hill in the park nearby
it's just you and her alone together now
Mikey lets you down
it takes a bit as you still cling to her
she takes your hands and lets you stand on trembling legs
a squeeze from her reassures that you're back on solid ground
and safe
"There. I wanted to have you alone for this."
Mikey takes a deep breath
her eyes glow in the dark
"I have known you for only a short while, Anon."
Mikey's voice is lowered
almost a little sad
"In the span of an angel's existence, not even a blink of the eye."
"And yet, in that time you have changed so much. Grown so much."
you nod slightly
you're so much better than when she found you
and it's thanks to her you're where you are
"No. Not just me. You have made the effort. You chose to be better."
but she got you started
Mikey is the best thing that hapoened to you
Mikey chuckles and shakes her head
"You must let me finish, Anon."
okay
you're sorry
"I am proud of you, Anon. And not just proud. I love you."
"Even if you frustrate me sometimes."
you snicker but don't interrupt
"There are times it is hard for me to express my love. But I feel it. All the time."
you stare deep into Mikey's eyes
you feel her fur, fingers interlaced with yours
the wind blowing against your skin
"And I want to show you now how deeply I feel."
what is she doing?
"Forever is a word that means a great deal for a being such as myself..."
no way
Mikey releases your hands and goes into her purse
that thing seems to only show up when it's convenient
"I cannot ask THAT question. For us it is simply not possible."
your heart drops
you weren't expecting her to pop that question
but it always a pleasant fantasy
"So I will ask this instead."
from her purse Mikey pulls a longsword
plain steel with a silver crossguard
"Anon, will you be my esquire? To serve and fight in my name. To live and labor under my protection. Until the end of your life."
you
you
you don't know what to do
do you just say yes?
Mikey giggles
guess you ruined the moment
"Kneel, Anon."
you drop to your knees
Mikey lowers the tip of the sword to one shoulder
then the other
"In the name of God, and in service of Michael Archangel, rise."
you stand
Mikey offers you the sword and you take ot
for a moment you're filled with warmth and light
like you're glowing
then Mikey plows into you
her arms around your neck
her lips pressed against yours in a kiss
for a moment it's all perfect
all beautiful
all her
she breaks the kiss with a gasp and starts peppering you with kisses again
she must have kissed every inch of your face and little of your neck by the time she's done
Mikey shivers and squeezes you
"I love you Anon."
you love her too
and now you're committed
it's not quite being married
but for as long as you live, you'll be with Mikey
and she'll be with you
you slip an arm under Mikey's legs, and one around her back
this time you carry her home
"Do not think you will get out of your obligations, Anon."
huh?
"Tomorrow is still leg day. You will see how much I like your form then."

--HIKING DAY--Again thanks to Inco and Lucy anon!

be Anon
it’s Saturday
that usually means it’s workout day
but today Mikey has something special in mind
the weather has finally cleared up and fully shifted into spring
green grass, full trees
Mikey decided the two of you should go on a hike
you can’t remember the last time you’ve been on one but- if it gets you out of lifting weights for hours you’ll take it
you put on some shorts and a t shirt as you didn’t have much “outdoor” clothes..
it’s what you wear to the gym anyway
you walk out of your room and are immediately greeted by Mikey
in her own and more proper workout attire
”are you all set to go? Proper attire.. water,breakfast”
check check and check
she squints for a second but shakes her head
”very well then I believe it is time for us to head out”
she has a large bottle of water with her, you had grabbed a plastic one so you begin to feel you under prepared
”don’t worry if you run out I have spares”
of course she does angel magic
”its not magic Anon, I just have whatever we might need”
sounds like magic
she scoffs at you as the two of you walk out the front door
”come here, I used your phone to find the perfect trail nearby”
you ask when she was able to use your phone
”sometimes when we just sit down and watch tv you are very oblivious”
you admit she’s probably right
like so many times before she sweeps you off your feet and holds you bridal style
”are you situated?”
you nod holding on tight to Mikey.. and your water
her wings unfold and flap softly warming up before with one large push the two of you are up in the air
your blasted with cold air as she takes flight past the house and past the park
you cling onto Mikey for both your own safety and to stave off the winds
your face is practically smushed against the fluff on her chest
if you weren’t so cold you could spot a blush form on her cheeks
eventually the two of you land
the two of you land in a much more forested area then your used too
you don’t leave the city much so it’s quiet a sight
the place is full of vegetation and the sounds of the city are so distant now
it’s huge change of scenery
”its very pretty right?”
you shake your head coming back to reality
not as pretty as you
her wing softly smacks your back as you chuckle
the one thing predictable about her is she can’t take compliments
she takes your hand and leads you into what you assume must be a nature reserve
there are several signs posted around with directions to things like camping grounds or parking lots
but Mikey settles in front of a large map of the park itself
…the place is pretty big
”yes isn’t it perfect? 15 miles of nature and it’ll be just the two of us”
while it does sound appealing the 15 miles dose not sound too fun
she takes the lead again starting to walk along a path naturally worn into the ground
she was definitely right the place is very pretty
dense brush, tons of trees- you even think you hear running water
but you quickly follow behind Mikey not to fall behind
it’s a workout alright
while the path is fairly straight forward the uneven ground and distance itself is new to you
maybe you should get out more
”yes you should, nature is very beneficial to mental and physical health”
curse her big ears they can hear everything
”complaining will get you nowhere anon”
you huff but agree Mikey is always right
after you assume must be a hour of walking she stops on the path
and points through the trees
there’s a small clearing like a gap in the woods
”we may rest here for a moment”
she pushes away some branches and reveals the way as the two of you sit down on a log
man your feet hurt
but..with her it’s not so bad
you take a moment to take a sip of water and not so sneakily glance over at her
you’ll never get over her- shes gorgeous
but now with the two of you sitting down you begin to hear something
sniffsniff
you pause..then take a yawn and turn to look at her
her nose is going a million miles per hour
and with her training.. you notice she’s leaned toward you
huh, well that explains some things
well if she’s acting so..brashly maybe you might too
your eyes slowly land on that puff of fur on her chest
tantalizing
the sound stops
you slowly look up at her
her cheeks are filled with a deep red blush
you think yours are too
”anon it’s rude to stare”
your the one sniffing me
”well I.. yes I was”
there’s a awkward silence
”you may touch it”
what
”I said you may touch it, I won’t repeat myself again”
she’s looking away but you can see the redness from here
you pause almost unsure before you reach out and softly place your hand onto the fluff
pic related
it’s better then you imagined
the softest thing ever
you almost don’t want to stop
”okay..that’s enough”
you take a moment but sadly remove your hand from the bunny
”ahem.. now let us continue our hike”
she takes your hand and leads you back onto the trail
the rest of the walk is just as hard
but..now your reinvigorated
the walk was hard but just like any workout
you and Mikey finish strong
you had emptied your water bottle and your covered in sweat but you made it
”phew that was fun, now we go back the other way”
what
nonoplease
Mikey giggles holding up a paw “I’m just joking Anon calm down”
oh..you knew that
”ill carry you back home how does that sound”
like a miracle
just like before she sweeps you off your feet and although slower to avoid trees she takes off into the air and back towards civilization
your legs are going to hurt later
but your definitely not gonna forget this

--FRANCIS AND ANON'S DAY OUT--

be Anon
planning a date with Mikey
you bought tickets to medieval times
thought she'd get a kick out of it
it's gonna be a big surprise
you wear your bunny tabard under your jacket and bought some flowers on the way home from work
crack open the door
Hey Mikey, I'm ho--
inside, seated on the couch next to Mikey is Francis
he waves happily
"Howdy Anon!"
hey Francis
thankfully the flowers are still behind the door
you huck them down the hall before stepping inside
Mikey regards you, looking up from her book with tired eyes
"Greetings Anon, was work fine?"
yeah, it was...
alright
you ask why Francis is here instead of at Jonah's
"Gabriel pleaded that we watch him for a few days."
Francis looks pensive
fiddling his fingers together
"Yeah. Angel Gabby's been cross with me ever since I walked in on her and Jonah wrestli--"
"FOR GOODNESS SAKE FRANCIS."
you can almost see the vein on Mikey's forehead throbbing
"Please. Do not discuss what my sister does with her ward."
that's a good idea
especially considering what you and her do together
Francis frowns and looks down at the floor
"Ahm sorry Angel Mikey. It's just it was very funny wrestling, and they were making such strange sounds--"
Mikey glares at him
Francis goes silent
Mikey looks miserably tired, her patience taken to its limits
you sigh
time to take a hit for the hare you love
hey Francis
"Yes Anon?"
you want to go to a show tonight?
"Really? We're going to a show?"
that's right
Angel Mikey has been babysitting long enough, so you're going to take Francis to dinner and a show tonight
and she can take a nap
"Well boy howdy that sounds like a barrel of fun! I'll get my goin' out robes!"
Francis hops off the couch and waddles off to the corner of the living room
where Mikey has made a bed out of spare sheets and pillows
Mikey looks at you and mouths two words
"Thank you."
Francis wanders off to the bathroom to change into his going out robe
Mikey takes the opportunity to flit across the room and give you a kiss
"Thank you, Anon. Francis can be...a handful."
how bad can he be?
he's just a badger
Mikey sighs deeply
"You will see. Have fun at the sh--"
she glances down
and suddenly a sly grin crosses Mikey's face
"Are you wearing your tabard?"
you nod
that smile deepens
"Oh if Francis weren't here right now..."
you clear your throat and blush
and quickly have to turn away as Francis comes out of the bathroom
"Ahm ready to go, Anon!"
his going out robe looks exactly the same as his normal robe
Mikey gives you and Francis a wave
"You boys have a good night. I'll see you tonight."
you tell Mikey goodbye
and head out with Francis
it's a short bus ride and a walk to the big warehouse with a castle facade
Francis stares up at it in wonder
"Oh goodness! This looks excitin'!"
it sure is
you take Francis in through the entrance and hand over your tickets
the woman taking your tickets stops you
"Sir, you can't bring pets in here."
you stop and look down at Francis
what
you thought everyone would see some other form like with Mikey
uh
shit
actually
this isn't a pet
this is your nephew
"Your nephew."
yep
he has a condition
you tell Francis to say hello
"Why hello miss. Ahm Francis. And I--"
you grab Francis's hand and usher him along
the ticket taker just stares in baffled shock
once you get inside Francis looks up to you
"Ah don't think I have a condition, Anon."
yes he does
he's an actuary
"That's actually more of a profession than a condition."
oh well
better find some seats the show's about to start
"Well bless my fur! We'd better hurry then!"
crisis averted, you take Francis into the main arena
and pick some seats in the very back where hopefully no one will notice the talking badger
"Why look at this. Someone left a little multi-color bit of poster board."
Francis picks up the red and yellow bit of paper
it's meant to fold into a crown
"A crown? Why how fancy. Does it just..."
he spends several minutes trying to perform the task of slotting one end of the paper crown into the other to make it a ring
finally you lean over and do it for him
"Thank you kindly Anon."
he perches the crown on top of his head and grins from ear to ear
"Ah must say I do feel rather kingly."
you can't help but laugh and smile with him
his cheerfulness is infectious
you don't know why Mikey seemed so exhausted when you got home
"Oh looky there! They've started the show!"
sure enough
they've announced the falconer
a dude with a ponytail showing off his bird of prey to the crowd
and then he takes off the hood and sends it flying around the arena
it flies loops overhead then swoops down
and then it soars up again
"Wow, that bird sure has some keen eyes. It's like he's looking right at us."
you think Francis is just being funny
but on the next pass you see that the falcon is definitely turning its head toward you
and on the next it swoops lower
it's on the third approach you realize what it's actually looking at
the little woodland creature sitting in the open like a free lunch platter
it dives
right for Francis
with claws outstretched
"Ooh! Look at it go! Like it's comin' right for us Anon!"
you dive over
grabbing Francis and dragging him beneath the counter
you can almost feel the claws of the falcon whoosh through the air just above your head
and then it flies away again
you groan
managed to bash your ribs against Francis's chair as it toppled to the ground
at least you won't have to explain to Gabby that you got Francis eaten by a bird of prey at a Medieval themed show restaurant
Francis at least, is not hurt
he uprights his chair and clambers back
"Well that was a close one! Ah can't wait to see what they do next!"
by the time you've picked yourself up off the floor they start doing the jousting tournament
Francis oohs and ahs as the actors charge each other with breakaway lances and put on show fights
it's kind of funny seeing them bash about with blunted swords and comically oversized flails
and if it's funny to you, Mikey would have a field day
but Francis is in total awe
he gasps at the dramatic overhead swing of the evil green knight
cheers as the heroic blue knight rolls out of the way
and wails as the expendable yellow knight dies in horrible faux agony
the waitress
that is the 'serving wench' comes buy with your food
she stares at Francis for several long seconds before dropping off two plates and moving toward a more normal section of the crowd
half a roasted chicken each, with potatoes and corn
tomato soup on the side
Francis looks at his plate with relish
he licks his chops
"Oh boy! Time for vittles!"
Francis looks around the counter-space
"Oh dear. Anon, they've made a mistake. They forgot to give us our cutlery."
you shake your head and chuckle
there isn't any cutlery
you're supposed to eat with your hands cause that's medieval style
Francis frowns deeply and wrings his paws together
"Oh no, oh dear. I'm afraid Ah'll look terribly uncouth."
you assure him that it will be okay
they give out plenty of napkins
"Well, if you say so. Ah'll try to keep clean."
Francis stands up on his chair
and leans over the counter
and then tears into his meal
face-first into his plate, snarling as he rips chunks out of his roast chicken with his teeth
the potatoes go to shreds and are mashed to a pulp
the corn is de-cobbed in mere seconds
it's a massacre
Francis finishes by draining the soup bowl
loud slurps
the whole affair is over in a minute
Francis falls back in his chair and pats his belly
his entire face is flaked with the remains of his dinner
miraculously, his going out robe is untouched
"Ah, that hit the spot."
you haven't had a bite
too busy watching the madness that was Francis eating
no amount of napkins will save that fur
he's gonna need a shower, a bath, and maybe an exorcism
the show is coming to an end, with the evil green knight defeated by the blue knight
and your own section's knight being basically useless
classic Medieval Times
Francis is near comatose on his chair
he breathes in
"Oh dear..."
he breathes in again
"Oh my..."
one more time
"Oh my stars..."
that's fucking adorable
you give him a gentle shake once most of the crowd has cleared out
c'mon sleepy, time to go
"Huh? Oh yes, of course. Let's get a-trottin'."
it's more like a sleepy stumble
but you manage to get him out of the warehouse and to the bus stop
this time you notice the strange looks you get from escorting a badger wearing a paper crown and mumbling to himself about falcons and chivalry and swords
but no one gives you trouble
when you get home you have to practically drag Francis up the steps to your floor
and once in the apartment he immediately waddles over to his makeshift bed
"Anon, could ah ask you a favor?"
sure thing
"Could you read me a bed time story?"
really?
"Yes please. Angel Gabby always reads me to sleep. She tells the story of Jonah and the Whale, or the Good Samaritan, or the Tale of Saint Lawrence. That one always makes me laugh."
he chuckles sleepily
well alright
you guess you could tell him a story
you rack your brain for good stories to tell him
from Mikey's long lexicon of military history
oh
duh
you sit on the couch and clear your throat
this is the story of the Maid of Orleans
Joan of Arc
a maiden of pure heart, stout spirit, and unwavering courage
who listened to God, and became a knight of great renown
and saved the far-off kingdom of France
Francis's eyes are open with wonder as you tell the tale of Jean d'Arc
soon those eyes droop
and he passes into blissful sleep
you pull the crown off his head, setting it at his bedside
you kinda get what Mikey meant by 'a handful' now
he somehow manages to make more trouble than any little critter ought to
at least he didn't get eaten by a falcon
and now you can get some rest
you get off the couch and trudge back to your bedroom
you yawn and pull off your jacket
the room is dark when you open the door
and then there are two glowing points of light
Mikey
you smile and step into the darkened room
into her waiting arms
you don't have to say a thing
she kisses your cheek and pulls you into bed
"Welcome home, brave esquire."
oh
yeah
you're still wearing the tabard
Mikey giggles
"I think we have some wrestling of our own tonight..."
there's still a good chance she means actual greco-roman style wrestling

the next morning you wake up to a weight dropping on your stomach and driving the wind out of you
your head pops off Mikey's chest
oof!
"Oh! G'mornin' Anon!"
jeez it's Francis
what time is it?
"Why it's four in the mornin'. I just noticed you were out of pop-tarts so I thought I'd remind you to put some on your shopping list."
Francis cocks his head
"Say, were you and Angel Mikey wrestling too?"

--FLUFF--

Be anon
it’s spring
nice and warm and plenty of time to spend outside with Mikey
it’s great
although you have noticed a slight change in her behavior
normally she does love hugs and staying close to you
but now it feels like she always has to be next to you or her hand having contact with you
not that your complaining of course but your not sure what could’ve caused this mood change
your sitting in the backyard with Mikey it’s a pleasantly warm day as she predicted
it’s just the two of you, even the usual city ambience seems quieter today
Mikey’s wing is “subtly” touching your shoulder
you pause- you do appreciate the contact but someone has to say something
you ask Mikey if she’s feeling okay
”Hm? never better Anon, why do you ask?”
you tell her you noticed she’s being much more
you pause trying to think of a good word for it.. Clingy?
Mikeys face takes on a familiar shade of pink
but then her smile shifts from her usual calm to her more mischievous smugness
”i suppose I have haven’t I”
you ask what she’s planning
”planning? Nothing but-“
”I’ve been thinking about our like hike”
oh no
”you enjoyed “it” didn’t you Anon”
why is she so good at turning the tables on you
you admit yes you enjoyed “it” if you are talking about the same thing
she gets up from her chair walking over to now be standing in front of you
”Spring time always makes me feel more energetic, life is returning to the plants and the cold is finally gone”
your a little worried with how long this lead up is
”so, would you like to touch it again?”
you where slightly expecting it but it doesn’t stop your brain from making you feel extremely flustered
”it’s fine if you don’t want to-“
you say you do
Her smug smile widens as she leans forward just enough presenting the fluff on her chest
you reach forward tentatively just like before
she always looks so soft even if normally she never lets you brush there
your hand inches closer and closer to the fluffy prize in front of you
suddenly Mikey’s wings flare outward before they suddenly wrap around your body pulling you close against her
your face is now firmly smushed against the puff of fur on her chest
whathuhwherewhatwhy
You feel like you’re melting, your heart is going a million miles per hour and you’re brain is rapidly approaching
you hear Mikey’s muffled chuckle above you
she’s so warm like being against a heated blanket but despite the warmer weather outside it’s not uncomfortable at all
she smells like.. well it’s hard to describe, almost like vanilla- a little like sweat and..sunlight?? Whatever it is it’s good
but all of this sensory information all at once your not sure how to handle it
Mikey pets your head softly as your slouched against her chest
you hear her breathing now a bit heavier then before and her wings just as firm around you
you sit there for what must be minutes before she slowly lets you go
her face drenched in red she dusts off her robe
”I, well- if you excuse me I need a cold shower, forgive me Anon”
what
you are not sure how to process what just happened
it’s going to take awhile to get her smell out of your head
maybe you need a cold shower too
but for now you sit back in your chair as your brain tries to pull itself back together
but now you know at least Mikey is doing okay
you don’t think your going to look at her chest fluff the same for awhile

Be Anon
it’s been a few hours
well it’s been almost the entire day the sun is going down now
both you and Mikey are getting situated for bed
as far as you can tell she seems to have..”simmered” down
other then her stares lingering just a bit longer she seems to be acting normal
you get swapped out of your day clothes into just your boxers and a sleep shirt
you sit on the edge of the bed scrolling through your usual videos and forums
sending Inco a meme and giving Jonah a link to a stream
the usual stuff
Mikey shuffles into the room with her usual grace sitting on the bed beside you
your getting better at reading her
you ask her what’s wrong
”Anon. I am sorry about earlier”
you stay silent to let her continue
”Even though we are together I overstepped my bounds, I should have asked you first before doing something so..so.. Crass”
you softly placed a hand on her shoulder
you tell her she was already forgiven
you fake cough into your elbow adding that-
youlikeditsoitsfine
Mikey squints at you raising eyebrow
you apologize, but she just chuckles and gives you a peck on the cheek
she sits up turning off the lights leaving only the windows casting the nearly purple twilight into the room
you both lay down getting situated under the covers like you always do
snuggling up close to the love of your life
you take a second to think about what your about to say
blush once again returns to your face as you stare into the ceiling
you’re not looking at her but you know Mikey can tell
you gulp sitting up
taking a deep breath turning to look over at her
You ask if you can do it again
her wings flare out as she sits up matching you
she’s silent for a second her eyes scanning you through the darkness
”Anon”
yes?
”lay down”
you sigh a little disappointed but your not sure what you expected after she apologized like that-
Mikey pushes you down onto the bed
her paw pressing firmly on your chest pushing you down into the mattress
your mind is whiplashed trying to catch up with that’s going on
Mikey stands up on the bed releasing her paw from your chest
she spreads her wings out fully as she stares down at you exerting a now…very intimidating dominant presence
”yes anon, I suppose you could do it again”
she walks over stepping over top of you a leg on either side of your body
she slowly lowers herself onto you sitting on your stomach
her hands hands slide up your body starting from your chest up before they land at your wrists each hand holding them down
holyshitwhatthefuck
she maneuvers carefully taking both of your wrists into one paw- her angel strength keeping a firm grip
her now free paw comes up to the collar of her robe as she hooks a finger on the fabric
you hear your heart pumping in your ears your body is heating up
She begins to slowly tug at the fabric
agonizingly slow
with one more simple movement the fluff of her chest is exposed..and the rest of her chest dangerously close to being exposed as well
she leans over top of you locking eyes with you her green filled with a fire behind them
you don’t think you have the proper words to describe what’s happening
there’s a heat in the room your not used to- it hangs heavy on each of your breath
she leans farther forward her chest now directly over your face
”take a deep breath Anon”
you do as told and draw in a breath as best you can
she lowers her body onto yours the fluff on her chest completely smothering your face
your hyper aware of every sensation as you feel her straddling over top of you
every breath you take is filled with her scent as your face is firmly pressed against her chest
the fluffiness takes on a much more..intimate feeling then what your used too
”Anon put your hands on my hips”
whatdidshesay
”Anon”
you shake yourself out of the hazy confusion and once again you do as your told gently placing your hands onto Mikey’s hips
”Good boy”
whahuh
if you could you’d be melting right now
”Your heart rate went up, did you like that”
…you can’t think of a single thing you don’t like right now
you feel her weight shift as she begins to lift herself off of you
your face is met with cold air as you begin panting- her scent still hangs heavy in the air
”Anon”
your not even sure if your thinking clearly this is so much
”Anon” she places a paw tenderly on your cheek
her touch shocks you back to reality
”Was that too much, should we stop?”
her eyes are once again locked onto yours but even if filled with passion they look to you worried
your not sure you don’t think you’ve ever done this sort of thing before..
you take a deep breath to ground yourself for a second
you..you think it’s best we slow down for now
she nods with a small smile removing herself from over top of you
laying back down next to you she places a hand on your chest this time as gentle as can be
”maybe I did go..just a little overboard”
you huff softly as your breathing comes back under control
”but you liked it”
you freeze your face still a deep red
”sorry sorry too much”
…you affirm you did like it
it was fun
she softly boops your nose “Good”
”Then we shall resume on a later date, how does that sound”
like a date

--TURNABOUT DATE--

Be Anon
the plan is a go
for a week both you and Inco planned, for a double date of sorts
there’s no way in hell Lucy and Mikey are going to be in the same room
but if you both go on dates at the same time- it kind of works
Inco went with your plan on the hilltop at night so you are going to work with his
You knew Mikey would protest if she knew you were planning something like this
she’s always the one who sets up dates, she’s the guardian angel after all
so you had to keep this very secret
which is admittedly very hard as you spend all of your free time with Mikey
Inco’s idea was thankfully pretty lowkey not too much in terms of technical planning
If he and Lucy were going star gazing
you and Mikey would have a Picnic
compared to the fancy restaurant she took you too last time you feel a little guilty you couldn’t do more for her
but you had to try
the hardest part is getting a time. Saturdays are for working out,Sundays are the cuddle days
that leaves Friday after your work
you bought some extra groceries this week to prepare
the wait is almost more nerve wracking then going on actual dates
but eventually Friday does roll around
and after a shitty day at work it’s time to spring your plan into action
as you get undressed from your work clothes and Mikey sits on the bed you try to say as casually as possible-
Say Mikey..would you want to go somewhere?
she looks at you curious “Oh? Did you have something in mind Anon?”
as a matter of fact you do
but it’s a surprise
she squints at you her eyes scanning your face before she hops off the bed
”Very well, let us see what you had planned- don’t think I haven’t noticed your change in behavior this week”
you gulp and look at her as you put on more comfortable clothes
”nothing escapes my eyes,especially not my Nonny”
her voice is teasing almost smug, she most definitely knows
even if Mikey can fly you had insisted on walking
although she was surprised by your decision she honored it and walked beside you
figuring you couldn’t hide it anymore you carry along a basket filled with various foods you knew she had liked
even if it’s no fancy restaurant you do feel at least slightly proud of yourself
it’s not a short walk the park isn’t too far from the house
and by now it’s dark and quiet so the two of you would be left alone
Mikey for the most part seems to be staying silent
what you believe is watching you and the general area, she was never too keen on you being out at night
but having your angel with you- you are the safest man in the town
it’s not a long walk and with a quick jog across the street you made it to the park
you wind your way through the area before you land right in the center of a flat grassy stretch the occasional dandelion breaking up the grass
you open the basket and lay out a large blanket for the both of you as you sit down
Mikey sits down next to you still watching you but she had a tenderness to the look
you pull out the food items from the basket- sandwiches, a salad you struggled to prepare, waters and a few more things if you get peckish
”You definitely came prepared, although I would have preferred to have set the date..”
”you did well I am proud of you”
you give her a big smile hoping the dark hid your blush
the two of you get to eating
..your no chef but you did okay
and Mikey isn’t complaining about the salad so you must’ve done well
your glad Inco chose this spot you can perfectly see the stars hanging bright in the sky
but Mikey seems to be more preoccupied with watching you
not that your complaining
you finish a sandwich and lay down on the blanket staring up into the sky
Mikey pauses then places down her salad before laying down next to you
”you did good Anon”
I tried my best, I was worried you wouldn’t like it
”Anon” her voice more stern as she sits up to look down at you
the places a gentle paw on your cheek
”I love everything you do and although I may have my preferences for pampering you- I am having a fantastic time”
she leans down and plants a soft kiss on your lips
”Never doubt yourself Anon”
she lays back down next to you a wing sliding under your back and pulling you against her side
you mimic her wrapping a arm around her shoulders in a hug
the both of you stare up into the sparkling heavens above as close as physically possible to each other
it’s perfect
..she’s perfect
you give her a gentle kiss on the cheek
”I love you Anon”
I love you too Mikey

--WORKING OUT WITH STYLE--

Be anon
it's Saturday
you know what that means
you've got your things packed up to go to the gym
Mikey stops you at the door
"Gabriel has asked I give Francis some guidance. She says he is getting...'chunky'. I hope that you do not mind working out in the park."
you shrug
it's no skin off your nose
"Great, thank you. I will go and retrieve him, and meet you there."
Mikey walks out the door
then flies back in to give you a kiss
"Do be careful traveling on your own. Be aware of your surroundings and no looking at your phone while crossing the street."
love you Mikey
"I love you too."
she flies off again
you follow her out the door and walk to the park
some laps jogging and hanging out with Francis ought to be nice
and you'll probably get another 'body-weight' routine when you get home
you're feeling pretty good when you reach the park
in fact you get started without Mikey
a couple easy laps around the park
you stop when you see Francis waiting for you on the sidewalk
"Well howdy Anon. Mikey says she's gonna help me work of some of those pop-tarts I've been eating."
he's in good spirits
probably shouldn't be running out in the heat with that robe
"Oh don't worry about me. This is my exercise robe."
Francis bounces in place
"I sure am excited. I'm gonna be big and strong like Samson!"
you're glad
but where's Mikey?
"Oh. Angel Mikey said she had to put on her motivation clothes. Whatever that means."
you shrug and go to get a drink of water from the water fountain
while you're drinking a shadow passes over you
"Hello Anon."
you look up
PFFFT!
and spit out the water at the sight of her
Mikey's in a classic drill-instructor's uniform
with the round hat and all
in one hand she holds a riding crop
you stare
you can't STOP staring
"At ease, Anon."
Mikey grins smugly while you struggle to look less undignified
"Quite a reaction. I am sure you will be well motivated for our workout today."
you're finding it hard to run
for a number of reasons
first because Mikey is in her drill instructor uniform
and it's distracting in all the wrong ways
and second because you're watching Francis struggle to maintain a light job while Mikey rides his heels, berating him all the way
"Move it! Move it! Move it! Lift those paws! We'll be rolling you around the park if you don't keep up!"
it's quite the show
you remember when you got started
Mikey was more gentle with you
but she still wouldn't let you quit
Francis keels over after only one lap around the park
Mikey deposits the badger on a park bench
then looks at you
"No time for slacking, Anon. We have plenty of work left."
you don't know how well you're going to be able to run
but you're going to enjoy going home for the rest of the 'workout'

--ANNIVERSARY LIBATIONS--

Be Anon
it’s a celebration you think
you don’t remember what for but Mikey said it was and your not one to turn down a party
Mikey had bust out the wine bottle and everything
you think she said the celebration was about fifty somethings
she had poured herself a glass and poured you a glass as well
but just like so many times before she softly blew on the open liquid in your cup and the colors shifted to look closer to sparkling juice
you haven’t had cravings in years but your not excited to find out if you drink again
you sip from your glass- it’s pretty good
but Mikey looks like..she can’t hold alcohol all too well
she has a flush on her cheeks and is a lot more smiley
granted she smiles around you all the time but this was a lot more…for a lack of better terms buzzed
despite her low tolerance she had made sure the bottle was sealed and put away for you
she sips from her glass and hooks a arm around you causing you to nearly drop your own
”aaah this is great, just being with the man I love during good times”
she’s not speaking as..professional as she normally does, feels strange to hear
you ask if it isn’t a sin to drink a lot
”psh hang on”
she sifts around in a invisible pocket in her robe and pulls out a thin golden ticket
a..sin pass?
”I was saving it for something else but it doesn’t expire so it’s fine”
…okay??- wait something else?
”don’t think about it too hard it’s a time to have fun and celebrate”
she leans over and plants a big kiss on your cheek
well, a happy drunk you expected to a degree but she seems very relaxed
but your not complaining
you place down your glass and carefully maneuver the two of you onto the couch so she doesn’t drop anything
”love you Nonny”
the nickname catches you off guard, she’s definitely intoxicated but-
I love you too Mikey
Mikey is blitzed off half a glass of low alcohol wine
her wings are all fluttery
her ears bobbling, the top half folded forward
she's smiling and giggling and leaning into you as she sits beside you on the couch
"You love me."
yes you do
"You love me so much."
Mikey breaks into another fit of giggles and throws a wing around your shoulders
"My handsome human esssquire. My very own. Gabriel's soooo jealous."
that sets her off on more giggling
you laugh with her
you dunno about Gabby being jealous
hey
Mikey didn't start dating you just to make Gabby jealous, did she?
"No."
the giggling stops
Mikey looks shocked at your light teasing
"No I did it cause you're the best. The best. Look at me."
your cheeks are squished between two fluffy paws
you're forced to look in her eyes
"You are so good Anon. You do so good. You have a job, and-and-and you have a apartment, and you don't drink anymore and I'm so proud of you so much. I love you cause you are worth it. Look at me."
you look deeper
she stares at you
then a smile breaks out on her face
and she kisses you
"And cause you're hansome."
she keeps kissing you
all over your face
your hair
down your neck
you push back a little and she takes your wrist
"No. C'mere."
you forget how strong she can be
Mikey grabs your wrist and pushes you back
you fall onto your back, with Mikey on top of you
she snorts and giggles
you have never heard her make that sound before
but it's adorable
"No. No you're adorable. You are. I'm the guardian angel. You are adorable. Say it."
Mikey beats her wings and pokes you in the side
her nose pressed against yours
"Say iiiit."
fine fine
(you)'re adorable
"Ha! Yes you are. Good boy."
Mikey gives you another kiss then nuzzle her cheek against yours
her wings come down to cover you like a blanket
she's so soft
the nuzzling goes on for a minutes
and then it slows to a stop
Mikey?
she snores softly
Goodnight Mikey
love you

--VISITING FAMILY--

be Anon
(you)'re going out
but this time without Mikey
you're visiting family
"It's chilly today. Wear your jacket. And don't have a big lunch, I'm making dinner tonight."
Mikey fusses over you, a frown on her face
you know she doesn't have to
she knows you're going to be okay
but it's cute she worries
Mikey huffs
"I still wish you would bring your sword. It's not just for show."
so she keeps telling you
but it's not exactly a ring you can bring everywhere
"Ridiculous. I remember a time when a man without a blade on his hip was naked."
if it makes you naked, wouldn't she prefer you without it?
Mikey blushes and huffs again
"if that demon hare gives you any trouble, just call for me."
she won't let you go until you promise to call if there's trouble
but you know there won't be
it's just you and uncle Inco today
like usual he beats you there
like usual he has the six-pack of cheap beer sitting next to the park bench
"Hey kiddo. What's up?"
you scoff
even if he's your uncle he's young enough to be your brother
"Still your uncle though."
yeah
you sit down
"So how's it been? The drill sergeant still running you around?"
that's hardly fair
Mikey just wants to keep you in shape
Inco laughs
"I dunno. You're not getting much beefier. I think she likes you scrawny. Like a lame horse."
bah
you gesture to Inco's belly
seems like there's more of him than last time
he just grins
"All the more for Lucy."
yeah
how is Lucy?
"Good. Always doing better. I managed to get her to eat cooked eggs."
that's an achievement
has she stopped bringing home dead rats?
"She's moved up to raccoons and pre-schoolers now."
you stare at Inco
then you both burst out laughing
man
it's nice hanging with Inco
"It is. Shame your wife is such a stickler"
Mikey isn't your wife exactly
Inco waves your denial off with a hand
"You swore to serve her the rest of your life. She gave you a sword. Face it kiddo, you're married."
unlike Inco
no tying him down
"Nope. Me and Lucy are free spirits."
she is
she's a good fit for Inco
you're glad they found each other
he's a good influence on her
"A cold day in hell when someone calls me a good influence on anything."
but he is
you always looked up to uncle Inco
even when things were bad...
"Bad. Real bad some days."
you sit in silence for a few minutes
contemplating
these days are better
a lot better
"You're doing great, kiddo. Even if it's because of the drill sergeant. I'm proud of you."
you smile
Inco's not doing so bad himself
it's just days like these...
you sigh and grab a beer out of the six pack
you pop it open with a grunt
no cravings
no desire
you pop it and blow over the open mouth like Mikey does
of course it doesn't work so you just let it rest oj your knee
Inco grabs his own
so what's the plan?
"This is it. Hanging out with my favorite nephew. Shoot the shit."
sounds good to you
though is Lucy gonna be okay on her own?
is she gonna chew the furniture or something?
Inco laugh and slaps your back
"Ah shuddup you little wiseass. She hasn't destroyed furniture in weeks."
you laugh along and shake your head
honestly he should keep a collar and leash on her
or...
you glance at him while tipping out some of the drink
a ring?
he coughs
looking at you with narrowed eyes
what's the matter?
"Just making sure you're not channeling your grandmother. Listen kiddo, what Lucy and I got works just fine as is. 'Sides, if she sets foot in a church she'll burst into flames."
Inco shakes his head
then he adjusts his sunglasses
then scratches his beard
you ask what he's thinking of
"I'm thinking if I got Lucy a marriage sword she'd try to stab me with it as a prank. Seriously, who proposes with a sword?"
you slug Inco on the arm
just jealous you get a sword and he doesn't
"Oh yeah. Real jealous I don't get to dress up like sir Lancelot for foreplay."
hey!
you don't wear the armor for foreplay!
just the tabard sometimes
"Ha! Called it! Do you have to talk all flowery like Shakespeare too?"
you frown
you're not having this conversation with your uncle
"Ah relax, I'm just busting your balls. Whatever you two get up to is none of my business. Though Lucy does this thing with her claws, and an egg shell that--"
SHUT
Inco bursts out laughing, slapping his knee as he doubles over
you roll your eyes and pour out the last of your beer
he's gonna drive you back to drink at this rate
Inco sighs and shakes his head
"Nah. No more joking. Me and Lucy are doing okay. I don't know if 'marriage'--"
he makes finger quotes
"--will ever be in the cards. But we're happy together. You and Mikey are doing okay too?"
yeah
things are great
you tell Inco she says you'll be ready for combat training soon enough
you don't mention how she keeps bringing up 'the knife incident' as a mitigating factor
"Good for you. I'm sure next time you get mugged you can cut clean through the bastard with your cold steel."
something like that
really it's just another way of bonding with her
you're looking forward to it
Inco bobs his head
"You'll have fun. Always loved your knights and dragons and stuff. You nerd."
bah
what kid doesn't love fantasy?
"Kids who played sports."
and how many sports did Inco play growing up?
"Checkers counts as a sport."
yeah sure it does
he should come on one of you and Mikey's hikes
would be good for him
"Nah, I burn enough calories keeping the demon in check. And keeping up."
Inco turns his head and sniffs
"Speaking of demons and burning, I think I smell Inco burning my place to the ground. I'd better get back before the whole neighborhood goes."
Inco stands up
you stand too
and give him a hug
he squeezes you back
"Love ya, kiddo."
you love Inco too
"You need anything, even just another hour or two away from the drill sergeant, just call, alright?"
you return the same offer
whatever he needs, if you-
or Mikey
can help, you'll make it happen
"Yeah well, if I need help, I'll call you. Take care, kiddo."
you wave goodbye to Inco
the walk home is easy
the sun came out so it's not as cold
Mikey is waiting for you at the door
you're pinned by her wings as she sniffs you
"Hm. Still a little demon scent. He really bathes in the stuff."
you're sure you smell like angels to Lucy
Mikey flinches when you say the name
"I'm sure you do. But angels don't smell like sulfur and perdition."
you sigh
really wish she wouldn't do this
Inco is family, and if Lucy is his family, then she's your family
Mikey drops her wings and huffs
you tell Mikey it doesn't mean you're gonna stop loving her
just that you don't hate Lucy
Mikey looks away from you
"...fine. Let's just get you in the shower so I can wash the scent off you."
you're ushered along by her wings
you still catch her murmuring
"...and get you covered in mine again."

--SHARING A SHOWER--

be Anon
it’s Saturday
you and Mikey just finished your workout
it was arm day so you can barely even open the door to your own house
Mikey as always lingers around you just a little bit closer after the gym
you think it’s adorable she likes how you smell but she always gets flustered when you point it out
you decide not to comment on it
as you go inside you kick off your shoes and struggle to slip off your sweat shirt
”Perhaps when you go to shower..I should help you”
you freeze for a second blush instantly coming to your cheeks
”you can barely move your arms; as your angel it would be inexcusable to make you struggle”
”you could slip and hurt yourself and not be able to get back up”
your a little embarrassed thinking about it like that but figured she knew best
the both of you go to the bathroom and she unceremoniously removes her robe
you try not to stare too hard as you remove your own clothing, albeit you let gravity work as you shrug the clothes off
your face is tinted pink as the two of you stand there naked
Mikey steps into the tub and turns on the water
waits for it to heat to a comfortable temperature, then turns on the shower
she leaves the curtain open and motions for you to step inside
you take a deep breath as you do what she says
Mikey immediately sets to work grabbing the bar of soap and running it all over your body
you are much more flustered about this then she is
she made sure you were completely covered before moving and dousing you with water till it was all gone
”okay Anon I’m going to need you to crouch down for me to wash your hair”
you just close your eyes and shove away your pride as you bend the knee
”good boy” she grabs your shampoo and pours some onto your head
you feel her paws gingerly pet you for a moment before her fingers work the soap into your scalp
its.. very relaxing
you lean backwards to her touch as she massages your head
you sigh relaxed
”are you enjoying yourself Nonny?”
She whispers softly in your ear, you didn’t even feel her move
you shudder feeling her breath on your neck
she chuckles at your squirming from her voice
”Good”
she leans back allowing water to run down your hair and wash away the suds
she continues using various soaps washing your body for you
before she finishes using a scrunchie to rub your back
your conflicted feeling simultaneously embarrassed she’s doing this for you and relaxed with her gentle touches and her attention
her soft paws rub up and around your tense muscles in your shoulders
using her angel strength you feel her the tension begin to loosen- it’s absolutely fantastic
you struggle to hold composure as now and again your muscles pop under her touch
”We need to do this more often”
maybe next time I’ll wash you
”I do not need assistance in cleansing myself, you however..getting sweaty all the time..”
she pauses to what you assume to collect her thoughts
”maybe anon, maybe”
she leans over your shoulder as she hugs you from behind
her body pressed against you
the blush returns as you feel her form
she plants a peck on your cheek
”if you didn’t try and show off your me you could still move your arms”
she told you to do it
”I said to push your limits, not try to lift double your body weight”
that is my limit
”clearly, dummy” she adds teasing
she removes herself from you letting the water rinse any remaining soap
eventually the two of you slink out of the shower and dry off
Mikeys fur is a little poofy as a result
but the two of you are still pretty tired from the exercise
so you both end up settling down on the couch for the rest of the day
enjoying each others company

--TRAINING AND DUELING--

be Anon
it's saturday
(you) know what that means
Mikey has a special workout planned
"Bring your sword."
what?
you go get it from where it's mounted over your bed
what is she planning?
"Hold on tight, Anon."
like usual you're scooped into a bridal carry to fly to your destination
you thought you'd be going to the park
but she passes over it
and all the way out of town to the countryside
what's she planning?
"Now Anon, I'm sure you can guess what I have planned."
she pulls out your tabard from her robe
how does she do that without pockets?
"Put on the tabard. We're starting your training."
you throw the tabard over your head, the green rabbit on the front makes you feel good
Mikey has a sword ready once you are dressed
you draw your sword
it shines in the morning air
"I want you to take it slowly at first. We will just be doing basic forms but you are still using a sword."
Mikey pulls the first aid kit from home out of her robe
how DOES she do that?
that thing's bigger than she is
"I have not forgotten the knife incident."
you roll your eyes
but you still promise to be careful
Mikey smiles and kisses your cheek
"Thank you, Anon."
she guides you through the basics of swinging the sword without cutting your own arms off
basic patterns of attacks and blocks
it's more work than you expected
Mikey smiles sweetly as she directs you through another pattern
"Once again, Anon. Watch your footing and be sure to follow through. One strike flows into another."
this practice is fun and all
and a hell of a workout
but are you going to get a chance to sword fight?
Mikey chuckles
"I am not sure you are ready for that, Anon. I have quite a lot of experience over you."
oh
you see
she's scared you're gonna beat her
cute, sweet, fluffy little bunny can't win a sword fight
Mikey laughs at your teasing
"First of all, you are cute. Second, your teasing has no effect."
she draws a sword from thin air
"But I will humor you with some sparring."
you charge
sword raised
CLANG
what the heck was that?
the moment you swing your sword is knocked out of you hands
you fall back
you almost fall on your ass but Mikey catches you
she's holding you in a dip
Mikey smiles down at you and giggles
"Your grip was wrong."
she kisses you then lifts you all the way up with a flap of her wings
she hands you your sword and flutters back
"Try again, dear."
you come forward more cautiously this time
Mikey holds her sword in a ready position
you step a little closer
CLANG
she's so fast you can't even see it
you manage to hold onto your sword
but this time you fall all the way over onto your back
Mikey flutters down to lay on top of you
"Watch your footing. I'm sorry I knocked you over. Are you okay?"
you're fine
next time you'll get her
another kiss
another giggle
"We shall see."
Mikey lifts you to your feet and flutters away again
this time you step forward confidently
and swing low
CLANG
Mikey deflects with her sword
but you stay standing
you attack again and then go into another swing
CLANG
CLANG
"Now parry!"
Mikey's sword flies at you
you block it
you blocked it!
yes!
oh no it's coming back
too fast for you to block again
so this is how you die
head cut off by a bunny
the sword comes to a stop
"Close! Just a little too slow, Anon."
Mikey giggles
you'll show her slow
you step forward and raise your sword
then when she goes to block it you step forward again and give Mikey a kiss on the nose
her nose wiggles and her wings flutter suddenly
now you have her!
you give her another kiss and put your free arm around her
kissing her cheeks and nose
"Anon!"
Mikey gasps
her face lights up red
she was not ready for you sneak attack!
"That's not an attack!"
she's so cute when she blushes
"You are cute!"
you're dipped again
Mikey's sword is gone and she holds you with both arms
"And I will win this little duel as well."

later
you're laying in the grass
Mikey is laying on top of you with her wings over both of you like a blanket
you're utterly exhausted
and it's not from sparring
the sun is high overhead now, and turning towards afternoon
her soft fur against your bare skin
her nose making little twitches when she sniffs the crook of your neck
Mikey's fingers running through your hair
she sighs
"I suppose we must call this a draw."
you dunno
feels like you AND Mikey both won

--MAGICAL MORNING--

It's a freezing morning after the night that you and Mikey consummated your relationship.
You've both spent multiple glorious hours cuddling in bed.
She naturally rubbed her wings all over your thighs without really thinking while you both slept, with you loving every second of her soft breathing well.
You open your eyes and take in a deep breath.
She clearly woke up before you.
To complete the feelings of ideal domestic bliss, it looks as if she's making a romantic breakfast.
You watch her fluttering around a bit, wings flapping happily, before turning to greet you at the entrance to the living room.
Candles are already set up alongside large mugs on delicate little placemats.
"Ready for some hot cocoa, I'll bet?" Mikey asks, grinning.
"Huh? How? The microwave has been busted for days, and please don't tell me that you somehow managed to use the oven for that," you mutter.
"Watch this!" Mikey exclaims.
You sit down in anticipation.
The angelic hare holds out a paw and rubs it against a mug. Bursts of golden energy flow out from the tips across the ceramic. The chocolatey delight bubbles with powerful heat.
"Oh... wow..."
She chuckles before hopping over and doing the same thing to her own mug.
"And I suppose these candles... well..."
She pinches the wick of the first big red candle.
It instantly is set aflame.
Your jaw is at the floor.
She does the same to your own candle.
It's such a romantic scene.
Your hot cocoa tastes like the best thing you've ever had to drink.
"Now, then, what other talents do you think I've got with these paws of mine?" Mikey murmurs, finishing up with her treat and gently sliding her body against yours on the couch.

--ANON-ADILLO--

be Anon
it's a monday after your Sunday cuddling session
you got in some extra teasing about small and cute she was
she bopped you with a wing
and you cuddled all night
it was lovely
but now you're waking up
the birds are chirping
the sun is shining on your face
holy shit you're late!
you jump out of bed
you're not in bed
holy shit you're not even in your apartment
you're in...the woods?
you look around
yeah definitely the woods, except they're not like the forest outside town
it's bright and colorful and the trees are all full of leaves and flowers blooming
too bright
too colorful
you raise a hand to shield your eyes
holy shit that's not a hand
that's a paw
some kind of weird scaly paw?
you run over to the nearby stream and look in to see your reflection
you're a critter
a cartoon animal like Francis
only you're an armadillo
that's ridiculous
armadillos live in the desert
what's going on?
where's Mikey?
Mikey?
Angel Mikey?
you hear giggling
and a pair of brown ears pop up from behind a cloud overhead
"Good morning Anon! I love to hear you call."
what
oh no
oh fuck
you're trapped in the show!
"Anon. Don't panic."
Mikey flies down to you
she puts her hands on your shoulders to hold you steady
"You are not trapped. You are perfectly safe."
okay
yeah, long as you're with Mikey you'll be fine
but what is going on?
Mikey chews her lip
"You have teased me about my stature long enough. Today you will be small and cute."
oh no
you just realized
you're looking up at Mikey and her feet are still on the ground
she's a head taller than you
and smiling down at you in triumph
"You are adorable, by the way."
she starts petting your head like you usually pet hers
she won't win that easy!
you--
oh fuck
she's petting behind your ears
it feels amazing
your brain shuts down
"Armadillo is a surprise. I would have picked something softer. But you still have soft spots..."
Mikey scratches under your chin
ooh that's the stuff
Mikey goes on scratching you
but two can play at this game!
you reach out a hand--
paw--
whatever
you reach out to try and pet her ears
but you can't!
she put her other hand on your head and held you back
Mikey snickers
"I am sorry Anon, but today you are subject to my will."
when are you not?
"Well, we are always subject to one great power, Anon. But it would also make me happy if you were my precious Anon-adillo today."
you blush
at least you think you're blushing
not too sure if the heat in your face shows through
you laugh too
Anon-adillo?
"Yes. Anon-adillo. Is there a problem with that?"
you go to say yes but then she scritches both your ears with both paws
so it's more like
yeeeeuuhhh-nooo
Mikey giggles and kisses your snout
"Good boy."
she moves from ear-scratches to chin-scritches to belly-rubs
the belly rubs are a menace, as you can't help but break out into laughter
you're not usually this ticklish
Mikey takes full advantage, prodding and petting until you're keeled over on your back
rocking back and forth on your shell as you try to breath
mercy!
you give up!
Mikey relents
"You are too cute to torment for very long."
well that's a relief
should you be worried about future torment?
"Only when you need a reminder of the consequence of teasing an angel."
point taken
still gonna tease her later though
Mikey offers a hand to help you up
she pulls you right up then sits you down again
this time with her at your back against an oak tree
Mikey wraps her arms around you and pulls you back into her
being little spoon is different now that she's bigger than you
Mikey's wings cover you entirely, only your head poking out
her chin resting on top of your head between your ears
you're totally surrounded by Mikey
and she knows it
"Are you enjoying yourself?"
yes
it's nice
you feel safe in her arms
Mikey squeezes you
"You're always safe with me."
just one thing though
"Hm? What's that?"
wouldn't Mikey be taller if she were in her own show?
Sentinel Hare is a soldier, tall, strong, and brave
she'd be able to do the whole 'bigger than you' bit easily
"Yes, well, if you must know."
Mikey leans her head to the side
nuzzling your cheek
"I thought you'd be cuter in Angel Hare's style than my own. And you know what?"
what?
"I was wrong."
you blink
really?
she was?
Mikey snickers and kisses your cheek
"You're the cutest no matter what!"

--BEACH DAY--

Be Anon
today been a scorcher
not to mention the electricity in your apartment has been out for hours now
Mikey said the heat is good and sweating leads to loosing mass
but you feel like your just melting into the couch at this point
Mikey has tried fanning you with her wings and you both have water but it’s still hot
then you remembered what Inco told you
last week he and Lucy went to the beach and had a good time
it’s certainly gotten warmer sense then so if any now is the time
..want to go to the beach?
”Hm? Well getting out of this place would certainly be good”
”But do you even have swimming attire? I’ve checked through your clothes before and the most you have is our workout clothes”
you pause in thought- do you have swim trunks?
better yet, does Mikey have swimming clothes?
”I do not, but that just says both of us are ill prepared”
you say the two of you could go shopping for clothes then go to the beach
Mikeys wings fold up the soothing airflow stopping as she thinks for a moment
”Yes I suppose we could. As is now readily apparent I need more clothes anyway, as do you”
you nod and slowly peel yourself off the couch
after a minute you manage to get dressed in shorts and a t-shirt and get into the car
Mikey always insists on driving when she can and right now you don’t intend on fighting that
because of the heat traffic was luckily very light as she drives you to the nearest shopping center
you do always appreciate how much she’s willing to do for you
love Mikey-
Oop we’re here
the both of you step out of the car and hurry into the store to get off the boiling pavement
as you go in your blasted with the sudden and comforting chill of Ac
and even if Mikey isn’t as effected by these things as much as you are even she looks relieved
although your also thinking it might not be the weather that’s effecting her but rather you sweating up the place
Mikey takes your hand and the both of you walk back to swimwear
you two always get stares in public especially outside of your usual jogging routs
but they don’t linger long and you don’t really mind some attention
”Alright find two swimming trunks you like and I shall do the same, do not worry about payment for mine”
you nod and begin to weave your way through the shelves of the store
too small..too big..flashy colors..ah here we go
good old fashioned Blue, it would match your jacket and Mikey’s robes
you grab two of the same pair and route back looking for wherever Mikey went
you find her sitting outside a changing room with a bag presumably with her swimsuit inside
you ask if she found what she wanted
”While I prefer heavier attire, yes I do believe I found something quiet nice”
Can I see?
”No you may not it will be a surprise”
”Now let us pay so we may continue onto the beach,I don’t like seeing you in such discomfort in the warmth”
the both of you buy your respective clothes. Mikey at a separate register to avoid you peaking at what she got
and before you know it your back out in the car and driving down the road
Mikey probably could have flown you there faster but
you enjoy the slower quiet times with her
the beach was a bit of a distance but you didn’t mind it’s almost the perfect way to doze off..
…
your jolted awake by the sound a army bugle wake up call blasting over the radio of your car
you sit up straight instinctively salute like Mikey taught you
then you hear Mikey giggling softly next to you as the bugle horn dies down
”At ease anon, I just wanted to make sure you woke properly and won’t feel groggy”
you squint at the angel sitting next to you and stretch- it did do the trick your fully awake now
”Rise Anon, it is time for fun in the sun”
oh your already at the beach
”Yes you slept for quite some time. I do hope you’ve been getting proper rest”
you affirm yes but the heat makes you sleepy
Mikey mumbles something but you catch “note of that”
you both get out of the car and..wow
the ocean is beautiful..
you can’t even remember the last time you were here, except maybe
…
you shake your head to clear your thoughts as Mikey hands you your swim shorts
”There is a changing room right over there, I will be down here setting our spot”
you ask if she won’t be changing
”I will but I can do it much faster then you”
”unless you want to watch~” her voice takes a familiar teasing husky tone
to avoid embarrassing yourself you shuffle to the small concrete structure
you slide out of your sweaty clothes and into your new fresh trunks
they fit you pretty well and the blue works well for you.. you think
wadding your clothes into a ball you shuffle to the car and toss them in before looking for Mikey
you scan the beach and your eyes land on two big fluffy wings facing you
jogging over to her you plop down on the large towel she set down
you were mid sentence asking what she bought to wear as your eyes focus on her
she lays reclined on the towel gazing up at you. She’s wearing a golden one piece that hugs her body perfectly- giving you ample view of her body
”Ohoho I see I made a good purchase, I was hoping you’d like it Nonny~”
you tear your eyes away from her as you feel the blood rush to your face
you manage to squeak out that yes you do like her swimsuit
she leans over and plants a kiss on your cheek
”Thank you Anon, and you know..”
”you can look at me, I don’t mind~”
she giggles again but pauses expectingly
with a deep breath you steel yourself and look back at her
its picturesque- shes absolutely stunning in every way possible
her smug smile taunts you as your eyes slowly wander around her form
”Now Anon not too much remember we are still in public” she boops your nose brining you back to reality
”Now come on, the water should be nice and cool”
Mikey stands up her wings stretching to there full size as she offers a paw to lift you
you take it and with one quick moment your suddenly on your feet again
Taking the lead Mikey still holding your hand steps into the water
She shivers slightly as the water hits her but she wades into the bright blue water
her wings have been fluttering this whole time- she’s definitely excited
Not to let the moment pass you quickly wade in after her-
your foot catches on a sandbar and you face plant down into the water
Well..if you didn’t look stupid before you do now
you feel a firm paw grab you by the shoulder and orient you straight up again
”Well at least now you don’t have to worry about getting acclimated”
the two of you wade deeper into the water till you both have to fully swim to keep afloat
Mikey takes the opportunity to somehow turn this into a workout- “teaching” you how to properly swim and dive
you told her you already knew how to swim but she kept on anyway showing you various ways to maneuver through the water more efficiently
but you do think it’s a little unfair, she can use her wings like a extra pair of arms to swim faster
the whole time she has a big smile across her face
she even puts on her drill Sargent voice to “order” you around
but with that swimsuit and that voice it’s pretty silly.. and makes you think some sinful things
but she has a smile on her face the entire time
your smiling too
this is the most fun you’ve had in a long time
the day is perfect
shes perfect
you wouldn’t trade anything for this
eventually you two do come up from the water and back into land
as much as you didn’t want to Mikey warned that taking breaks is important
you two are once again back on the towel now laying down
holding hands staring up into the sky
she gives your hand a wordless squeeze
and you give her one back
it’s perfect
