#Kassamatik

[dreams-of-the-arcana]

Loosely based on this prompt! Tikos discovers an unexpected treasure one day!

Pairing: Kassamatik (Kassim Atesh @kassim-walks-on-air, Amaranth Silva @xvi-the-tower, and Tikos)

Warnings: Massive amounts of tooth rotting fluff, mentions of abandonment

In The Woods

“Uh, Kassim? Amaranth? Are you home? Helloooo.”

Tikos Katsaros-Yakinthos’ low voice called out as he opened the door to the trio's cottage. A small bundle held in his arms definitely resembled the shirt he’d left in. Which he was currently missing.

Kass and Ama appeared curiously and concerned. Tikos never used anything but nicknames unless it was important. Just hearing their real names coming from him was enough to put the two on guard.

“Ti? What’s wrong?” Amaranth quickly looked him over for wounds. Her golden eyes moved rapidly.

Kassim carefully reached out to place a hand on Tikos bare arm. Their eyes drew down to the bundle, it was his shirt but nestled in it...

“A baby!?”

The forest was not Tikos normal route home but he hoped that the side track would be worth it. Ilya had mentioned a patch of rare flowers appearing near the path when they’d met earlier for a drink. While Ilya was more interested in describing the medicinal properties, Tikos’ first thought was that his loves deserved a bouquet of beautiful rare flowers. Though as he walked through the steadily darkening forest he remembered why he stuck to the sea.

“Roots! Holes! Με δουλεύεις!* How do people do this to relax?” He muttered to himself as he tripped over another rock on the path.

It’d been a long time since he cursed the mob that stole his eye but he offered up a mean thought about boils and uncomfortable sitting for them. The lack of depth perception usually didn’t bother him because out at sea he compensated with his magic but the trees of the forest interfered with the air. He was about to give up when a flash of color caught his eye.

“Finally,” he muttered.

Quickly he moved towards it expecting to finally get his hands on those flowers. Or maybe run into some bandits. A beast, even. He readied his dagger. At that point he’d happily welcome anything to relieve the tension of his little hike. Something!

... except a baby sleeping soundly inside a hollowed out tree stump.

“Uh...”

After a thorough look around the area in case it was a trap, he quickly stashed the dagger back in its sheath and moved closer. Nestled amongst the moss was a baby with dark pink hair and sparkly rosy cheeks. His brown eye widened and his mind started spinning.

“Μα καλά, τι σκεφτόσουν?!* Who would leave a baby out here? What kind of parents do you have? Oh what are we going to do.”

“And so we waited for a bit longer to see if anyone came back but I couldn’t let them stay out there all night. Even with me there,” Tikos finished telling his story.

Kassim and Amaranth had taken the baby from him and sat with them on a soft rug near the fireplace. They’d recovered from the shock quickly and dived directly into protective mode. First insisting on keeping the baby warm and then properly fed. Tikos looked on from the kitchen where he prepared a bottle of milk.

“I’ll go back in the morning and maybe leave Kiki as a look-out. No one’s getting a baby back until we have a discussion.”

He shook his head at the idea of parents just leaving their baby in the middle of the forest. Who knew how long they’d been out there before he’d come along. Even worse, how long would they have stayed out there if he hadn’t taken the detour.

“Here μικρή γλαύξ,” Tikos said as he handed the bottle over to Kassim.

They picked up the baby and sat back so they could rest the baby in their arms to eat. A soft smile graced their lips as the babe eagerly took the bottle.

“Oh I know that look,” Amaranth looked at the scene and teased. “Pretty cute baby, hm?”

Kassim blushed and focused on the baby.

”Just wondering who could leave such a precious thing.”

“Someone who either had no choice or doesn’t deserve their baby back,” Tikos grumbled. “Don’t worry, we’ll get to the bottom of it and make sure they’re safe. Desperation can make people do things that seem cruel or odd on the outside but made sense at the time.”

He slid down to sit behind Amaranth and let his legs rest on either side of her then pulled her against his chest. His mind hadn’t stopped racing since he’d found the baby but finally relaxed knowing the three of them were doing this together now. Everything seemed better when he had them close.

Ama curled up close and the two watched Kassim and the baby quietly for a moment. It made for such a domestic scene.

The fireplace lit up the area with a warm glow as Kassim gracefully sat with this strange baby. Adoration was plain across their face at the bundle in their arms and the babe stared back with an equally content look. Curiously it looked as though their cheeks were sparkling even more now but it could just be the firelight. They’d swapped Tikos’ thin shirt for a mismatch of fabrics and clothes they could get to fit then topped it off by swaddling the babe in a clean blanket. When the bottle was done Kassim gently lifted them up to pat their back. Small burps sounded from them which only made the adults melt inside. While doing that they finally met their lovers eyes.

“What?” They asked but the deepening blush gave them away. “Um... what do... what do you think we should call them...?”

“I think it’s a little early for that, darling.” Amaranth cautioned.

Tikos and Kassim nodded. It was hard to not fall in love with the baby immediately but getting too attached would just make the separation harder. They all had to remember this baby had a family and could be missed at that very moment.

“I’ll fix up a drawer or something as a cot. That way they’ll be safe and can sleep next to our bed.”

Tikos offered and got up to start working on it. Kassim and Amaranth just smiled at each other, they knew it was already too late for their husband.

Tikos stared down at the forest floor in disbelief. There in the dirt was his arrow marker he’d left just the night before. But now it pointed directly to a small sapling in the ground.

”So... this was... a tree yesterday?”

Tikos pinched the bridge of his nose to try and tide the growing headache.

“Yes, a fully mature tree stump that was hollow. It was filled with moss! The whole baby was in it and not even touching the edges!”

Kassim inspected the sapling closely, nothing indicated it was recently planted. By their knowledge the sapling looked to be a good two or three years old. They looked around at the trees nearby but nothing fit the description.

”Are you... are you sure, vehana? I know you can get turned around out here and your depth perception magic gets confused...”

Tikos huffed slightly and looked away, he didn’t like to acknowledge any weaknesses but coming from Kassim he knew it was well-intentioned.

“I know, μικρή γλαύξ. I made sure to mark the right one, triple checked.”

Kassim nodded, if he was confident that he checked then they believed him.

“There’s something in the air here... it’s faint though...”

“I did feel something strange last night. It’s why I was eager to get the babe home. I thought I could just come back again but I wouldn’t let them sit around any longer... forests are weird.”

Tikos crouched down in front of the sapling. Conflicting emotions flickered through his eye.

“You sprung up quick, aye? Straight from the dying tree...”

Weeks had passed since Tikos’ discovery in the woods. No one came to claim the baby in the time so the trio decided to keep her until someone did. They let the captain of the guard know and got everything sorted out. It was left unspoken that the longer time went on the less likely the baby’s family would show up. The Captain was content to leave the babe in their care, he knew they would love and care for her as if she was their own.

“Γεια*, Seffy, Firebug, μικρή γλαύξ! Who’s home?”

Tikos' voice sounded throughout the cottage as he walked in. Laughter answered him and led him into the family room where he found the three of them.

“Welcome home, darling!” Amaranth managed through giggles.

He leaned against a doorframe in the room. Kassim and Amaranth sat on the floor with baby Persephone between them, wiggling happily. Toys and entertainment covered the area and was quickly becoming the new normal for them. Persephone, as they decided to call her, had captivated them all nearly immediately. It started slow with someone bringing home a new outfit or moving something out because it had hard corners then before they knew it, she was everywhere. Bottles lined their kitchen, pieces of cloth were strategically placed around in case of a spitty baby, and the drawer turned cot was a permanent fixture by their bed. Tikos even started sleeping on the end closest to Persephone since he slept so lightly. Any noise of discomfort or discontent woke him up right away. Oftentimes Ama and Kass would wake up to find him spread out as usual but with a hand draped over in her cot. They teased him incessantly but he just smiled and said he worried she’d get lonely.

Persephone giggled away as Amaranth and Kassim were taking turns playing peekaboo. Her cheeks sparkled still, they’d quickly realized it really was her sparkling and not a trick of the light. It was a pretty clear sign that she was happy and also not an entirely normal child.

Tikos walked over to give all three of them a soft kiss before taking a seat. Persephone wriggled and reached out towards him excitedly from Amaranth’s arms.

“Oh look who’s happy. Do you want to go to Μπαμπάς*, darling?”

They all froze at that.

Ama touched her fingers to her lips in disbelief. Only Persephone was unfazed and continued to reach for Tikos. A small rare blush bloomed on his tanned freckled skin.

“Ti, I... I didn’t... uh-“

“No, it’s... it’s alright actually. I... I think I could get used to it, aye?”

Kassim and Amaranth beamed as he took Persephone.

“What do you think, Seffy? Can I be your Μπαμπάς? If so, what will we call your other parents?”

He flashed his signature cheeky grin at his lovers who both suddenly shared his blush. None of them could have anticipated how one little detour would turn out. Not even Asra predicted that the hunt for some flowers would turn into finding something so much more precious: a family.

** Με δουλεύεις - Are you kidding me?

Μα καλά, τι σκεφτόσουν - What were you thinking?!

Γεια - Hello

Μπαμπάς - Dad

In a rare turn of events (rare enough to possibly alarm Kass and Tikos), Amaranth is the first out of bed.  On the pillow where her head should be is a neatly folded letter.  The bottom corner of the letter has very small, slightly sticky fingerprints.  The smell of breakfast is coming from the kitchen of their little cottage.

Kassamatik soft hours 🥰

Pairing: Tikos x Kassim Atesh ( @kassim-walks-on-air) x Amaranth Silva ( @xvi-the-tower)

⚠️ Warnings: Pregnancy ⚠️

In The Night

“Tikos...”

A groan in response.

“Tiiikos...”

Another slightly louder groan.

“Zotikos, wake up.”

The pirate shot up ramrod straight brandishing a dagger with a sleepy face. The sudden movement also woke Kassim who laid on one side of him. While Amaranth started slightly from her position on the other side. The three of them were currently at home in Kassim’s cottage and had enjoyed a fairly uneventful day. With one big change to their usual routine.

Amaranth looked at her partners a bit embarrassed and absently stroked her swollen belly. She was six months pregnant and it brought out some unusual emotions.

“I, uh, well I just wanted to ask you something.”

Silence filled their dark bedroom. Kassim smiled softly and carefully slipped the dagger out of Tikos’ hand while the latter’s head cleared.

”What is it, Vehana?”

Kassim’s voice in their minds was soothing and supportive. While Tikos moved to pull Ama close in a hug.

“Do... do you two... do you still think I’m pretty?”

“Oh, Firebug,” Tikos cooed and held her tighter. “You’re beautiful. Even more beautiful with our little one growing inside you. Right, Καρδιά μου*?”

Kassim nodded and got up to crawl over the two of them until they got to Amaranth’s other side.

“Beautiful and strong, my spark.”

While they cuddled Amaranth from behind they placed a hand lovingly on her belly. Tikos moved one of his hands to entwine with Kassim’s on Ama’s belly. Both of them holding and reassuring her that she’s loved.

Amaranth sat in the middle feeling so incredibly warm and appreciated, just basking in her lover's praise.

“Thank you both.”

She settled in happily and started to drift back to sleep. But an amused voice spoke up.

“Did you just want to be cuddled?”

A secret smirk slipped on her face as she buried it in Tikos’ chest.

"Is that my shirt?" For Kassamatik

I’m up waaay too late but this was too cute to not do right away ❤️

Ft. @xvi-the-tower’s Amaranth and @peaceful-kassim’s Kassim

Is That My Shirt?

It was a usual sleepy morning out at the cottage where Tikos, Ama, and Kassim spent their time. Everything seemed to be exactly where was expected.

Kass had managed to slip away from the warm cuddle pile happening to start making breakfast. While Ama and Tikos slept on in a mass of tangled limbs and blankets. The air mage would pause to look back into the room every so often, just to see their two lovers quiet and content. The quiet part being the biggest change from when they were conscious. They liked this part of the day, when they knew how excited the pair would be to wake up with a delicious breakfast waiting. Just a peaceful moment as they-

“‘Ελα, ρε!!!”*

And that brought the moment to an end.

Kassim jumped a bit when Tikos suddenly cried out. The pirate was up scrambling around the cottage in an instant. Snatching up various articles of clothing on the hunt for his own. By the time he stumbled into the kitchen he had one boot on, one half way on causing him to hop a bit, pants on but undone, and completely shirtless.

“Why. Won’t. You.- Oh.”

Tikos growled at his shoe until he reached in to find out what was blocking his toes. Only to pull out his eyepatch. He was still getting used to not wearing it around Kass and Ama. He dropped the shoe and secured the patch over his empty socket.

“Δεν το πιστεύω!* Ελα, ρε- Oh. Good morning.”

Tikos spotted Kassim watching him, barely holding back their amusement.

“I, uh, forgot about a shipment coming in today. I won’t be leaving but I gotta be there... is that my shirt? It’s-“

It seemed he couldn’t get a full sentence out. Just as he wondered where his shirt was he took in the gorgeous sight of Kassim wearing it to make breakfast. They blushed slightly.

“I can take it off if you need me to. I just... wanted to...”

Tikos couldn’t think of anything but how painfully adorable they were.

“No! You keep it, I have a spare.”

“Mm, no you don’t.”

A sleepy teasing voice came from behind them as Ama leaned against the doorway to the kitchen. Her hair was still mussed from sleep (and other late night activities), her eyes were heavy, and a familiar shirt covered her. Tikos grinned and shook his head.

“Well, I don’t really need them then.”

Moving quickly he pulled Ama close to give her a deep breathtaking kiss then to Kass who got an intense but gentle kiss. Then he was out of the door with the sun falling on his bare tanned skin.

————-

Ελα, ρε! - Come on!

Δεν το πιστεύω! - “I don’t believe this!”

A little smut fic I wrote for Kassamatik, the ot3 consisting of my Amaranth, @peaceful-kassim 's Kassim, and @dreams-of-the-arcana 's Tikos!

Spicy content, minors dni: Vaginal fingering, cunnilingus, penetrative sex, threesome

"You'll sit there and watch until I say you can join."

Amaranth didn't always take charge, but when she did the other two were happy to indulge her. It typically meant she was feeling a bit mischievous and had something planned.

All three of them were already naked. Kassim was lying on their back with Amaranth straddling their thighs, her torso held parallel to theirs.

Tikos nodded his agreement and sat himself cross-legged next to them on the king-sized bed.  "Whatever you say, Firebug," he said with a grin, taking his cock into his hand.

Amaranth turned her attention back to Kassim whose silver hair was fanned out around their head. Their face was already flushed from the kissing of just a moment before.  She brushed her thick tresses to one side of her head so as not to block Tikos' view before pressing her lips to Kassim's again. They kissed slowly and deeply as Kassim's hands slid up over Amaranth's waist.  The sensation made her hum against their lips before trailing kisses along their jaw and down their neck.  Both Amaranth and Tikos could hear Kassim's moans in their head as they had marks sucked into their neck.

At a torturously slow pace, Amaranth moved down Kassim's body, spending extra time on every spot she knew to be sensitive.  She took one puckered nipple into her mouth and swirled her tongue around it, then the other. The glow of their tattoos, and particularly one of their two vehana marks, made her smirk against their skin as she continued to work her way down.

When she finally made her way down to their thighs, she was on her hands and knees.  She placed one kiss on their pubic mound before turning her head to face Tikos. "I bet I can make them cum before you can make me cum," she challenged.

He chuckled. "That's hardly fair considering you've gotten a headstart."

"I've never known you to turn down a challenge, Tik."

Tikos laughed again, positioning himself behind her.  He leaned over her to speak low in her ear.  "Just because it isn't fair doesn't mean I won't win." The way she shivered made him smirk.  "By the way, what do I win?"

"If you win, you get to fuck Kass. If you lose...guess you'll just have to wait until next time."

"Aye, high stakes indeed," he said, taking on a tone of mock seriousness.  He winked at Kassim.  Even if he lost, knowing the three of them, "next time" would be in a few hours if they showed restraint.  "Not too worried though. Our little breeze will hold out for me, won't you?"

Kassim nodded.  With how wound up Ama had already gotten them, and how practiced she was in the art of getting them completely unraveled, they weren't sure how long they'd last.

I-I'll try, vehana.

"That's all I need."

Amaranth smirked up at them. "Spread yourself for me, love?"

Kassim obediently brought their hands down between their legs to hold open their outer labia, giving Amaranth access to their clit and inner lips.  They shuddered when her tongue made one stroke along their slit, which Tikos took as his cue to start.

He slid two fingers into her, crooking  them to hit her g-spot. Normally, he preferred to work her up slowly, but she'd made this into a race, so he had to pull out the stops.  She moaned against Kassim, but otherwise didn't let up. Their combined moaning was music to his ears, as he worked his fingers in and out of Amaranth. He licked the thumb and forefinger of his other hand and set to work on her clit, rubbing either side of it.

Tikos looked at Kassim's face, and could tell that they were starting to get close.  If he was going to win, he needed to act quickly.  Keeping one hand working on her clit, he replaced the fingers of his other hand with his cock. The hand that had been inside of her held onto her hip for leverage as he pounded into her with fast, deep thrusts that he knew she was so fond of.

Amaranth's ministrations on Kassim became sloppy as it became nearly impossible to focus both on bringing about their release and staving off her own.  Their moans in her head told her they were close, so very close. But in the end, she was closer. She stopped what she was doing to press her head into their thigh with a scream as her orgasm tore through her.

Tikos gradually slowed to a stop.  The fast pace he'd used had gotten him close too, but not quite close enough. Still buried deep inside of her, he leaned forward to say, "I think that means I win."

Still trying to catch her breath, Ama nodded.  They disengaged, and she rolled over to lie next to Kassim, spent and satisfied.

Tikos moved up to Kassim so his hips were between their legs and his arms were on either side of them, propping him up.  He looked into Kassim's flushed face affectionately and brushed away a few strands of hair that were clinging to their damp forehead.  As he lined himself up with their entrance, he kissed them.  "I knew you'd hold out for me."

Mn...of course, Tik.

They smiled as their other vehana mark began to glow.

He lifted his torso to get a good angle before sliding into them.  The pace he used was gentler than what he'd used with Ama, but not by much, and soon Kassim's fingers  were digging into the skin of his back.

Ama, who'd caught her breath and turned onto her side to face Kassim, stroked their cheek and murmured her encouragements as they shut their eyes tightly.  Their legs wrapped around his waist, and their heels pressed into his lower back.  Their back arched, and their mouth parted in a cry that could only be heard in their lovers' heads.

Tikos wasn't far behind, spurred on by their clenching and the lovely look on their face.  A few more deep, staccato thrusts, and he spilled into them, continuing to move until there was nothing left.

After helping each other get cleaned up, the three of them settled onto the bed with Tikos in the middle and the other two curled into his sides.  He kissed the tops of their heads and rubbed their backs as they basked in the post-coital stillness.

"You know I let you win, right?"

The silence of the room was then filled with laughter.
