teaser for the new fic i’m writing… enjoy
( non-binary espresso, and blood warning just FYI)
A deafening bang echoed from behind the building, the metallic boom similar to the sound of a dumpster slamming shut.
Oh god, these hooligans again.
Espresso tossed their cigarette, before stepping on it. Their shoe grinding it into the sidewalk was unnecessary, however they were pissed.
‘Whoever interrupted my smoke… They better have a damn good reason.’
They thought to themself.
Their breath puffed in white clouds, and Espresso realized they had left without a coat.
Marching towards the alleyway, they spun on their heel, raising their voice as they turned the corner.
“Come out. Dumpster diving is prohibited, and I won’t tolerate obnoxiousness, especially not this early in the morning.”
Silence.
Espresso tried again, increasing the volume of their voice.
“I said, come out. I’m not going to ask a third time.”
Several garbage bags rustled, pushed out of the way by… a mascot?
No… this was far larger, feathers shimmering with gold liquid, trickling out of a shoulder wound… connected to the most breathtaking man Espresso had ever seen.
