Mate [Aether]

Ghouls biology is different from humans in many ways. One of those many ways is they need a mate and if they don't find one in a certain timeframe, instincts take over and they get one. It would however be nice if said mate got a little more warning.

Where the ghouls haven't gotten a mate in time so instincts take over and the first person they see becomes their mate.

[Dew] [Mountain] [Rain] [Swiss] [Poly]

“Does anyone know what the meeting is about?” The sister next to you asked. Silence filled your little group. “So we’re headed to a very important meeting with everyone in the ministry and none of us know what we’re walking into? Lovely.”

“Well, hopefully we’re not being sanctified or something.” The sister leading the group snorted. “What? We are in a satanic church.” The atmosphere lightened up and you joked around with the sisters.

Once in the meeting room, you noticed all the Higher ups in front talking amongst each other, the ghouls were towards the side, and the rest of the siblings of sin were in the seats along the floor. You made your way to some empty chairs and sat down next to one of the older sisters you had seen in the library multiple times. She offered you a smile before making sure there was enough room for you to sit comfortably.

You hadn’t been seated for a minute when you felt like someone was watching you, which would make sense if someone was, everyone was gathered in one area. But it was persistent and it made the hairs on the back of your neck stand up which was unusual.

Sister Imperator had just gotten to the podium to speak when one of the ghouls stood up. She sighed and watched with the rest of the ministry as he walked through the isles, the sisters gawked at him as he walked past them. You had glanced at him as he walked through the crowds a little bit but it was only when he got closer you realized he was the one staring at you.

He stopped in front of you making it so you moved further back in his seat to make room for him to stand there. The chairs were still close enough together that your knees were pushing into his legs. He stood there just staring at you for a moment, the room dead silent.

“Aether, please hurry. We’re holding the sisters from their duties.” Sister Imperator broke the silence and pushed Aether into motion. Within seconds you found yourself in the air, your only support being his arm under your legs and around your waist as well as his chest against your side. In a moment of panic you wrapped your arms around his neck and quite literally clung to the ghoul. Terrified of being dropped onto the hard stone floor.

You were carried to where the ghouls as well as a few sisters sat where Aether sat down and adjusted you in his lap so you were somewhat comfortable. The sister sitting in the lap of the ghoul next to you offered an encouraging smile.

“Let’s begin. Now I’m sure you’re all confused as to why some of the ghouls have been grabbing some of the sisters. It’s simple. Ghouls need mates, and if they don’t find one in time they’re instincts take over and they choose the first person they see.”

“There are still three of the ghouls who haven’t gone through this yet so in case that happens to you we’re going to go over the basics so you have an idea of what to do. If they try to take you somewhere, go with them, they won’t let anything harm you so don’t worry.”

“Talk with your dorm head and start moving out. They’ll need you close so you’ll be moving to their room, tell the head sister you won’t be under her care anymore. The ghouls need you close therefore you’ll be trained in something for the Ghost Project so you’ll be needed on tour.”

“And for the love of all things unholy if you see a sister who has a ghoul trailing close behind them, tread carefully. You will not be spared any mercy if they think you’re going to harm their mate and I’m sure none of the others want to clean up what's left of you from the stone.”

“That is all, you may go back to your chores and arrange for the changes.” She glanced at you for the last part. Aether who had been chill, just holding you with his chin on your shoulder growled in her direction. The sisters around you slipped off their ghouls laps and loosely surrounded you, you could feel Aether stiffen and tighten his grip a fraction.

“If you want, we would be more than happy to give you a little more detailed explanations and help with the transition.” Who knew one sentence could bring so much relief with it.

The rest of the day was a complete whirlwind of a day, finding and informing all your superiors, packing, meeting with Sister Imperator and Papa IV or as he insisted Copia, and unpacking. On top of all of it, you had a ghoul who made the most dejected sounds you had ever heard anytime he wasn’t touching you.

So when you were finally able to go to bed, you let Aether put you wherever he wanted as long as you were comfortable. Which led to you laying on top of him with your head tucked into his neck and the softest blanket you had ever felt thrown over you. The purring was relaxing and lulled you right to sleep.

The next week didn’t slow down. You had to adjust to Aether constantly with you, start learning art and graphic design, make sure you made it to practice so Aether would go, adjust to a completely new schedule, and have tea with the sisters.

Tea was the only time you didn’t have Aether clinging to you. In the Ghoul’s wing there was a room set aside only for mates, it was essentially a no ghoul zone. Designed for when you might need a break. Tea was also when you were able to get more tips or talk with people who understood what was going on so you never missed tea.

Once you settled in and Aether was able to leave you for longer and could stand people being around you, you were given an office and a team to lead. Sister Imperator had even called you into her office to tell you what a good job she thought you were doing. Aether wouldn’t let you go there without him though.

You were informed Aether was one of the touchier ghouls and you agreed, despite the fact he was at the point where instincts were only really higher than normal when it to people being around you, he still held your hand, gave you hugs, pulled you onto his lap, and wrapped his tail around any part of your body he could whenever possible.

Aether was notoriously good at sneaking up on you just to leave a kiss on whatever skin was available at the moment, you figured out his favorite time was when it was around the sisters not used to ghouls so he could hear their shrieks when he just suddenly appeared as well as making the point you were his mate.

Two months later you left to join the ghouls on tour. It was the first tour any of the mates had been on so none of you had any idea of what was happening. Four days before the first show Copia pulled all of you to the side and revealed some masks and costumes made for all of you. They were rather simple but would hide your identity.

“Just because the rituals are longer and there's lots of stress, I had these made. If you hear me calling you, please come out and help.” After that the costumes were tailored to you and the ghouls tried to convince all of you to just stay on stage with them the whole time.

The first five rituals went ok, the sixth one the ghouls were clearly getting antsy, the audience could see how they kept glancing to the side. Copia could see that they were actually looking for all of you. One of the sisters had made the comment that one of the people from the venue made them nervous, that something about them set off red flags. After that, they kept looking to make sure you were ok. The people were left in the dark with the ghouls just thinking it was people in a mask pretending to be some sort of demon, and how Copia went about this would be important.

“I’m sure you’ve all noticed the ghouls are acting a little strange, yes?” The audience's agreement was deafening. “So I’m going to have their mates come out.” It was terrifying walking out in front of so many people, so you focused on Aether.

He moved his guitar so he could wrap his arms around you. Aether just stood there, breathing your scent in and soaking up your presence.

“As you can see, they’re all adorable together.” Copia’s voice rang out, breaking you out of your thoughts. Aether let out a whine when you pulled away, trying to chase you to pull you into another hug but you stepped back and cupped the sides of his mask.

“Aether, I’m ok. If someone tries to bother me I’ll come get you. Ok? But until then, I need you to play like normal.” You pressed a gentle kiss to his lips before stepping back. “Make sure you play well for me.” The rest of the show went by faster, the ghouls were fired up more than normal and everyone could see it. Clips from when you were talking to the ghouls went viral and all of you ended up named.

The ghouls were pleased when the crowd started demanding to see you come out because then they could show you off. You had caught Aether scrolling through your ship name on social media and had heard the others doing the same. So when the people started asking to get your signatures on albums too, it left the clergy racing to make custom stamps for you.

When your first signing came, Aether refused to let you sit in a chair. Every time you tried he would switch to that chair and settle you in his lap, so you finally just gave up and let him hold you throughout the entire thing.

That night exhaustion hit you like a truck, Curled up on top of Aether you whispered “love you” before passing out. Aether couldn’t sleep for a few hours after that, too caught up on the two words he had been waiting to hear for months.

Ghost Headcanons w/ Whiskey!

Ghoul Kink Boundaries/A Little Bit of Their Trauma

AN: So I started this when I was writing the second chapter of my Mounty fic when I included that he hates sensory deprivation, again all headcanons are true for all books I publish, so I decided to make all of the ghoul's boundaries, with the help of @Chaos__Incarnate for the Aether and Rain parts cause I was stuck trying to figure out what would work for them.

Trigger Warning for this chapter as it includes mentions of SA & CNC and how these different ghouls boundaries were made. The boundary is listed first in case you wish to skip that ghoul. I apologize if I missed any tags, please forgive me and comment if I missed any

Also if it isn't clear, all of the ghouls have had bad pasts and this is just a bit of it, possibly some of the worst but definitely not all of it. I believe ghouls are both born and created from human's who died tragically young from unfortunate situations, which is why for example, Cirrus has a family in Hell and Dew has memories from his past life. I am here to make you cry because I did making this, Aether's especially spoke to me as I have a similar past as him. I wanna give all these poor babies hugs and cuddles. Also, for quick Clarification, I believe Sunshine is almost entirely asexual, but she has her moments in her heats where she becomes very needy but dw, the ghoulettes are there to help them out ;). This is where Cumulus learned her fear was solely of masc-presenting peeps and answer to whether a proper knot feels better than the toy. Possibly a chapter on that? Love Whiskey <3

Swiss: CNC, you may think this man is like Sodo and has every single kink imaginable. But our Smiley boy has one major boundary, he absolutely cannot stand Consensual Non-Consent; in the pit, Multis are seen as weak playthings that bigger elemental ghouls, especially fire, bully and do whatever they want too since Multis can’t master any element and are a “Jack of all Trades'' type of ghoul so most don’t ever get strong enough to put up a fair fight against these bigger ghouls. Swiss was no exception, though stronger than most of the other Multis in the pack he roamed with, this made him a bigger target to these bullies. One time he tried to fight back, conjuring a small earthquake that knocked the terrorizing group of fire ghouls to the ground before trying to summon a large wave to put out their fire to gain an advantage. But instead, all he could produce was a stream of boiling water that burned one of their members, thoroughly pissing off the leader and the rest of his goons. The large show of magik tired Swiss out heavily so when the remaining ghouls grabbed hold of them, all he could do is try to squirm away, let’s just say Swiss walked away from the smuggly cackling group with a severe limp, blood dripping from his face and down his legs, tail broken in a way that left it with a knot at the base that bothers Swiss when pulled too hard on and when the weather turns cold, and a hell of a lot new trauma…

How the Ghouls Found Out: When they was summoned the surface, he never told any of the other ghouls until one day the the ghouls are sitting in the common room, sharing stories of their week when Sodo suddenly went in on how some mentioned how some Sister asked for his help in a CNC scene, Sunshine being almost completely uninterested in sexual acts and also being new to the surface asks what CNC is and as Sodo explains that it is basically rape play, Aether and Rain quickly notice how Swiss had immediately curled in on himself, subconsciously holding his tail, as Sodo goes into detail on how he had chased down the Sister until Swiss suddenly stood up, not saying anything as he quickly left the room, the sound of his door slamming could be heard as all the ghouls look at each other in shock, “The fuck is his deal.” Sodo huffs before finishing his story. The Water and Quintessential ghouls share a look before standing to follow their packmate, having a feeling the story hit close to home for the Multi.

Aether gently knocks on Swiss’ door, he is met with silence but after a moment he notices muffled sobs coming from inside the room, which shocks the pair of ghouls, Swiss has never cried in front of them besides during the odd sad movie. Aether clicks open the door and is greeted with the sight of Swiss curled up in their bed, head between their knees, fingers buried in his hair with his claws looking close to penetrating his skull, and rocking while he violently sobs into his knees. Both ghoul slowly approach him, trying not to startle the ghoul who is clearly in the midst of a bad panic attack. Rain is the first to reach the bed and softly sits down in front of Swiss, the shift in the bed seems to alert the Multi that someone was near though he doesn’t lift his head, now quietly begging whoever was in front of him not to hurt him. The whimpers breaks both Rain and Aether’s hearts; Rain slowly places his hands on Swiss’ before gently tugging the claws from his head and holds them in his own, Aether sits down behind Swiss and softly rubs his back, whispering words of affirmation into his ear, that they aren’t the ones who hurt him or would ever hurt him, “It’s Aether and Rain, we’re here for you buddy, your okay sweetheart, your safe.”

Eventually, they calm his panic attack to quiet hiccups and they manhandled him so he’s curled into Aether’s chest with Rain spooning him from behind, both stroking his back, sides, hair, and face while making quiet promises that whatever happened won’t happen again, not while they have a pack behind them that is willing to kill anyone who hurts one of their own. After a while of these soothing motions, Swiss is calm enough to explain what happened, telling them in slightly censored detail of what happened when the Fire ghouls “taught him his lesson” and that Sodo talking about helping someone live out a fake assault when he had been through such a brutal real one was just too much for his brain, and he was forced into a flashback, the story left Rain seething in anger, his typically low body temp raising with his anger while Aether is stewing in quiet fury, even though he didn’t know Swiss while in the pit, but what happened to him is something that had similarly happened to one of the Quintessinal ghoul’s sisters from what sounds to be the same group of Fire ghouls. Soon enough, Swiss is passed out between the two ghouls; the intense flux of emotions had worn the poor Multi out, while Rain and Aether stay awake for a little longer, not even thinking of leaving their mate alone after tonight's events, quietly discussing how they needed to subtly ask Sodo to not bring that kind of stuff up without revealing Swiss’ past before falling asleep curled protectively around the lean ghoul between them.

Rain: Aftercare is a Absolute Must, now this might seem like an unusual boundary because unless they’re a horrible person, what partner doesn’t give aftercare? Well…our sweet Water ghoul had to deal with an incredibly abusive top. When they would have sex, they would force Rain to do whatever they wanted; their pleasure came first, and whatever they wanted to try out, even if it meant forcing the poor Water ghoul. One both amazing and cruel trait about Rain is he will do anything to make his partner happy, they have a history of their partners getting angry and leaving them because of him trying to set boundaries. So when he met this top, he thought the right thing to do was to give in to every demand. What makes it even worse, they didn’t believe in aftercare as they never needed it, so they believed no one needed it and if you did, you weren’t mature enough for sex. He would be forced to help them clean up, then usually having to wait until they had fallen asleep or left the room to go and clean any wounds acclimated during the scene, as his partner claimed to be a sadist so a lot of pain and whips filled the sessions, and deal with the sub drop that always followed afterward. He thought it was normal, to have to lie crying on the bathroom floor while patching up cuts and bruises for at least an hour before finally crawling into bed, curling up and silently crying himself to sleep.

How the Ghouls Found Out: When Rain was first summoned, he did not interact sexually with the other ghouls for a while, still trying to get over his last domme and scared of having to take care of himself again, all alone. But as time went on, he grew closer to Mountain and Aether without even realizing it, feelings grew until eventually, the pair confessed feelings toward the Water ghoul and asked if he returned them. Of course, he did and Rain is a terrible liar to those he loves, he hates lying to anyone he cares about because he hates being lied to in return; so he told the truth and told them that he had feelings for them too. One thing led to another and ghouls being the horny creatures that they are, they ended up in Mountain's room (he’s got the biggest bed of course), making out, heavy petting, and clothes being removed. It was the most gentle he has ever been touched but when Mountain and Aether noticed the scars covering his body, the two bigger ghouls shared a hidden look while Rain was occupied with nipping at Aether’s throat, one where they agreed to not bring it up now because they knew Rain would probably shut down as he had before when Dew had asked about a small scar he had noticed on Rains forearm.

So they decided to just treat him like the perfect, pretty boy that he is, overwhelming him with the care and love they know he deserves, to the point he was brought to tears from it all. Once it all ended, all parties were covered in sweat, cum, and saliva; while Mountain is focusing on Aether for a moment, trying to ensure both of his partners are okay, pressing kisses into his neck and praising him for doing a good job, when he he noticed Rain had left the bed and was staring at him from a spot near the door, seemingly getting ready to leave. Clothing in trembling hands, they are staring at the pair in shock, boxers slug low on still quivering legs as if quickly thrown on, he had never seen that happen between partners as even when his previous domme had brought people over to join in, they always left almost immediately afterward though sometimes staying for drinks and helping clean. “Where are you going lilypad, we aren’t done here?” Aether askes, leaning forward to follow him, “I..am I not supposed to leave? I’m sorry I didn’t think there was anything to clean up besides ourselves…” Rain says quietly, wrapping his arms around himself protectively, still staring at the pair, seemingly scared he was going to be yelled at.

“No? We want to make sure to clean you up and give aftercare, honey, I apologize if we didn’t get to you soon enough.” Aether's eyes hold a love that Rain has never seen before, Mountain's too, but his face portrays a look of worry too, “What is..aftercare?” Rain tilts his head in confusion, looking between the two and dropping his clothing-filled arms lower to hug against his belly. Aether lets out a soft gasp of horror as Mount sighs as his worries were proven correct while standing and slowly approaching the confused Water ghoul, “Come here, love, you don’t have to leave. We are going to teach you something.” he gently pulls the clothes from their arms before picking Rain up, who let out a soft squeak, and laying him next to Aether who immediately tucks the shaking, little ghoul into his chest with no regard of the mess of cum on his belly. Mountain quickly joins the pair after starting a bath in the en suite that is attached to his room, cuddling up to the pair of ghouls in his bed, Rain looks between the two with a look of concern and confusion, not knowing what to say or do so just accepting the situation at hand.

Aether speaks first as he gently cups the Water ghouls face, “Honey, have you never been taken care of after this kind of thing? Not even just simply being cleaned up and held?” Aether askes, looking down at Rain who doesn’t answer, simply shaking his head, his breath hitching at the memories of nights alone after being used like a plaything for hours, “Oh sweet thing, I am so sorry. I don’t know who did this to you or made you think you had to deal with taking care of yourself afterwards, but they seem like a terrible person. We will never leave you to clean yourself up or give aftercare to yourself.” “Water lily, no matter who tops or bottoms, everyone gets love and care afterwards, we talk about what happened and help each other clean up afterwards. You will never be expected to leave as soon as we’re done, you don’t have to leave until you want to” the deep voice of Mountain comes from his neck where he had been pressing kisses and trailing light touches along his side. The kind words bring tears to the overwhelmed, bassist’s eyes, he had never been touched or held so gently, or really at since he was a kit, or talked to so kindly besides when Papa had welcomed them into the church after their summoning, Aether smiles as he continues, “We never meant to make you feel like you have to leave, we’re so sorry sweetheart. We will make sure you never feel like that again.” he seals his promises with a soft kiss to Rain's lips, that broke the seal holding back tears in their eyes. He lets out a sob, tucking his face into Aether’s chest, who quickly wraps him into an even tighter embrace followed by Mountain who is whispering praise into the Water ghoul’s ear, Rain lets himself be held and welcomes the overwhelming amounts of love being poured into his skin by the older ghouls.

After a few minutes of this, he finally lifts his head, sniffling and wiping the tears from his face as laughs wetly, “Th..thank you, I..I didn’t know that this was what I was missing out on, my last relationship…they never did this for me…always just left after cleaning up themselves or fell asleep… they always said that taking care of subs is for the weak, nobody actually needs it, it’s just the sub being a whiny brat who isn’t good enough.” Aethers frowns, “They sound like a bad person and absolutely should not be allowed to ever near people in any way.” he presses one last kiss to Rain's face before suddenly his eyes are drawn to the bathroom, “Uhh, Mount?” he’s met with a hum of acknowledgment, “The bath?”, the Earth ghouls widen in shock and is scrambling off the bed to turn off the water to a now overflowing bath as the two other ghouls are loudly laughing in his bed.

Aether: Forced Domming, now don’t get me wrong, our big beef loves taking control and being the one in charge. He adores it and it is actually what he prefers to do usually, but he is still a switch so he has his days where he likes to be babied and be the one who is taking the orders, falling onto his knees to follow his partner’s orders. Unfortunately, like Rain, he also had a bad partner, but they were not a top but instead a bottom and while they would give and receive aftercare, they refused to ever take no for an answer when it came to trying things or, even while claiming to be a switch, take the role of top. Aether always had to go along with any scene they wanted to try, being the people pleaser he is, it was difficult to say no to his partner even with this. What made him finally leave was one day he had come home from a long day of training the militia of the small village that he and his partner lived in, all he wanted was to be taken care of, loved on, to be told what to do, not have to think; but when he asked his partner, they gave the same excuse they used every time he tried to bring up the idea, pouting while claiming that they were feeling “really subby today, please Daddy”. Aether tried to take the role that night, he really did because otherwise it would end in a fight, but that night they asked the unexpected of him. They asked him to participate in a CNC scene. After being explained what that meant, Aether went quiet, this was something he would never want to participate in, he would have never expected those words to leave their mouth as a request. But knowing the consequences of refusing, he went along with the scene they came up with. Hating every second of it, that night he laid on the couch crying once his partner went to bed. That is the night he knew he had to leave, as much as he loved it in the village, he knew that they would go to extremes to explain him leaving them, including saying he had..that the scene was actually a reality which people would believe due to the bruises he had left on them at their request. So that night he quietly packed up anything he could, not much of it was other than some small trinkets and clothes, and left.

How the Ghouls Found Out: Aether had been summoned to assist with the Ghost project along with Dewdrop and Mountain, he had been having a lot of fun; learning tips and tricks from Omega for both his Quintessence and rhythm guitar, working out with Alpha, and just connecting with everyone. Of course ghouls being the perpetually horny things that they are, Aether has slept with Dew and Mountain several times over the last few months they had been together, even a few times with ChAir, Pebble, and Mist when they asked for help during their heats, all of which consisted of him dominating or joining in dominating others. Even the large Earth ghoul Mountain, their times together usually consisted of bending the taller ghoul over his bed and manhandling him like he was the size of Dewdrop. Yet he never thought twice about asking the Earth giant to switch their roles, even when he dreamed of it, always chickening out in fear of being rejected and being forced to dominate him or worse, being kicked from the room and replaced by Alpha or Omega, even though deep down he knew the kind giant would never dream of doing something that cruel.

One day when they were on their first tour with the band, Aether had just had enough. Dew had been a absolute brat all day, constantly picking fights and throwing temper tantrums (most of which were in hopes of being fucked into obedience by his larger friends later that night); he constantly was missing notes during practise and messing up bad during the guitar battle, which caused Dew to make fun of him even more; he almost fell off the stage when he jumped a little too close to the edge; and to top it off, Alpha and Omega had been there to watch/help out if needed and all of this happened right in front of them. He admired the older ghouls and wanted to impress them, especially Omega as he was replacing him on the stage and didn’t want to seem like a clumsy doofus. So after the ritual, Aether was embarrassed, pissed off, exhausted, and overall just done; all he wanted was to go lie in his bunk, cuddle with the secret stuffed rabbit he had been given by a Sister that helped clean the ghoul quarters when she found him cuddling with a few of his packmates shirts wrapped around a pillow, listen to the mix of playlist of soft, calming music he had created for his days of wanting to just be held, and cry quietly into his pillow, picturing it to be the chest of a lover who would hold him and say it was all okay. And he was doing just that, while the other ghouls were all going out to get drinks and party with Terzo, or so he thought.

Aether had finally settled into his bunk, since he believed he was going to be alone for a couple hours he left his music softly playing on his phone. He had snuggled up with the soft bunny, pressing his face into it’s velvety belly, and had just started allowing the tears he had been holding back flow when he heard the door click open. Thinking it was maybe Mountain or Zephry coming back to grab a wallet as they tended to enjoy quieter celebrations and would go to a nearby food place and chill together, sometimes joined by the Quintessential ghoul when he didn’t want the consequences of a night of drinking. He ignored them and tried to stay quiet, soft sobs coming from his chest as he tucks himself in a ball, tail rubbing soothing circles up and down his sides to try and mimic the hands of someone else. When suddenly the curtain of his bunk is slowly pulled back, he sits up to look at the intruder, pausing the music while wiping the tears from his eyes and trying to hide the toy behind himself, he discovers Omega standing at the entrence of his bunk, with Alpha just behind him, both peering in with soft looks of worry on their faces. “Hey, we noticed you coming back to the bus by yourself and thought maybe you’d want some company?” Omega askes, hoisting himself up to sit on the edge of the bunk, head ducked slightly to sit comfortably, tail softly coming to wrap around Aethers ankle. The younger Quintessential seemed to be on edge, like he had finally been allowed to relaxed but they were invading his space, “Aether are you okay? We heard you crying, is something wrong?” Alpha askes, coming to stand between Omega's legs, leaning up to look at the curled up ghoul.

Trying to keep himself together, “I..I just didn’t feel good after the Ritual, got a headache is all. Wanted to lay down without Dew screaming for once.” he tried to joke, offering a weak smile, “We can stay with you if you want, maybe watch a movie in the living area or just squeeze in here with you. We don’t want you to have to be by yourself, we care about you dummy.” Omega offers, gently laying his clawed hand on Aether’s knee, smiling back at him as he had taken off his mask before he had hoisted himself onto Aether’s bunk. “You guys don’t have too, I know you two always love to go out and party after these things. I’m fine, I’m used to taking care of myself.” Aether realizes he fucked up when Omega frowns and feels the worry coming from Alpha growing. “Aeth, we’ll go if you want us too, but you deserve to be taken care of sometimes. We see you doing so much for everyone in the band and always trying to be the one to hold all of us, even when it’s clear you want to be the one being held, your allowed to ask for comfort from your pack.” These words cause the dam that has been holding back all his tears and feelings of loneliness for years finally breaks, Aether lets his head drop as he lets out a sob, curling away from the two older ghouls and burying his face into his rabbit, not caring that if they saw anymore.

Omega immediately follows him, laying next to him gently tugging Aether so he is pressed into his chest, before gently running his fingers through his thick, dark hair. Alpha follows suit, tossing his mask on the bunk below, and cramming himself behind the younger Quintessential ghoul, wrapping his arms around his waist and tucking his face into his neck, whispering soft strings of praise as he runs his hands up and down his side. They held this position for a long time, Aether sobbing into Omega as the pair offered words of encouragement, praise, love, and softness; allowing the typically energized and happy ghoul to release his feelings while being cared for, probably for the first time in many centuries. Aether had eventually been coaxed to move from the rabbit to Omegas shirt when the older Quintessential felt how wet it had become, gently tugging it from his grasp and tucking Aether’s equally wet face into the crook of Omegas neck, who then carefully tossed the soaked stuffie next to the pillow to try and allow it to dry.

After a while, they managed to calm him down enough to talk, not exactly asking how he had come to think he wasn’t allowed to be taken care of but still trying to find a reason for these feelings. Aether has always been emotional and open about his past, but he had held this back from all of the others as to not make them think he was weak and to come to him out of pity. But tonight he bared out everything, by the end of his ranting Alpha was near snarling in anger at the ghoulette who had forced Aether into this mindset before Omega shushed him in favor of comforting their bandmate. Placing a claw under his chin to tilt his face to meet his eyes, “Aeth, honey, you are allowed to ask to be taken care of, everyone deserves to be. Not just that, you're allowed to ask to be the bottom if you so want too, you think Alpha here is always on top? You should hear how I turn him into a mewling little slut begging for Daddy’s cock.” Omega teases with a dark chuckle when he notices how Aether’s breath hitches at the words, a red tint spreading across his cheeks and neck as he tries to turn over to hide into Alpha, the slightly larger Quintessential sharing a look with the Fire ghoul that is borderline predatory.

“Oh starlight, is that what you want, to be made into his Daddys’ good boy? We can make that happen if you want, all you have to do is ask~” Omega nips at Aethers ear as he squeaks and tries hides in Alphas shirt, who slips a claw under his chin and makes him meet his eyes. “Tell us sweet boy, do you want us to make you feel good? Teach you that it’s okay to ask to be made into a quivering mess who knows nothing but his Daddys’ names? Fuck those thoughts of not being allowed to ask for help right out of your pretty, little head~” Alpha grows, fangs trailing down the shuttering ghouls throat, he feels him swallow hard. Omega's hands are working his chest softly, unbuttoning the uniform shirt enough to slip a hand inside to tease at his sensitive nipples when a soft “Yes please” comes from the bashful ghoul. The look of predatory delight fills the older ghouls' faces as they borderline tear the clothes from Aethers body. Aether learned that night he is allowed to ask for comfort and love, and that just down the hall there is a very eager pair of ghouls who love to take him apart and leave him shaking.

Mountain: Sensory Deprivation, he hates not being able to see or move. It’s overwhelming because when he had been in Hell, he had two older brothers that would bully him and one of their favorite ways was them tying up and gagging him before leaving him locked in a dark room alone until either he wiggled his way free, they decided he’d been there long enough, or their mother let him out. Now, Mountain hates anything to do with his senses or movement being restricted and will fight the person until he is free, even if it hurts them.

How the Ghouls Found Out: Aether had unfortunately been the first of the pack to learn this, he and Mountain were having some spicy fun when Mountain said he wanted to be his good boy and do anything he wanted. In his defense, Aether was not aware of this boundary. He knew Mount didn’t like gags but they hadn’t talked about blindfolds or being tied up. Mountain, despite hating the feeling of being tied up, likes being pinned with hands, he thinks it's because he knows he can get free if he really wants to because he is stronger than all of his partners, though he is almost matched in strength by the rhthym guitarist. With his Quintessence, Aether is able to take away the sight of people so he decides to try it on the large Earth ghoul as he pinned him down.

Unfortunately, the sudden loss of vision and movement immediately triggered Mountain into a panic attack, as he was brought back to the dark room of his child and teenhood. The drummer immediately began to fight against Aether, who at first thought he was just being a brat and was about to tell him to be still until he noticed the tears streaming down the Earth ghouls face and froze in shock, but in this moment of hesitance, Mountain threw him off while curling in on themselves, arms around his head as if to protect from blows, begging for his sight back, “Please don’t leave me in the dark again, please let me out” all while sobbing harshly into his arms. Aether instantly gave it back while profusely apologizing and trying to comfort his packmate. Mount blinked as the soft light from the lamp filled his vision once more, before flinching away from the soft touch Aether tried to lay on his back, so instead he chose to just sit at near him, whispering comforting words and apologizing, saying how he didn’t know and how sorry he is, that he should’ve warned him, and how wrong it was for him to do that without discussing it first.

Eventually Mountain had calmed enough to accept Aethers touch, leaning hesitantly at first into his leg, and told him about his brothers, slinking slowly up in the Quintessential ghouls lap, tucking their face into his neck, as Aether listens, absolutely horrified, while holding Mountain as close and delicately as possible, gently running his fingers through the thick, wavy locks of the still shaking Earth ghoul as he recounts the different torments his brother’s put him through. Aether promised to never do anything like that again, even both telling him of his past of forced boundaries to try and slightly relate and then offering to leave to get Rain or one of the girls if Mountain didn’t want to be around Aether at the moment, but the taller ghoul quickly shushed him, adamantly confessing that he still wants Aether here and if he didn’t, he could have easily gotten Aether out of the room. Pressing a soft kiss to the smaller ghoul’s neck, they softly asked if Aether is still willing to continue.It ended in them having soft, loving sex, gentle and ending only after Mountain was boneless and pleasantly sore from how many times Aether had made him cum. The rest of the ghouls were made aware of Mount's boundary after that, just so that none of the other’s would make the same mistake Aether had. Though the Quintessential ghoul is the only one who knows of the reason behind the boundary as Mountain didn’t want the others to feel pity for him for something that happened so long ago.

Dew/Sodo: Absolute Submission, This horny bitch does actually have a limit he absolutly cannot have crossed and if anyone has asked it from him, all they got was a pissed off Fire ghoul hissing at them to get the fuck away from him. Most think it’s just because he hates the idea of being someone's sub, but Sodo’s one of the few ghouls that still has memories from his past human life. He isn’t sure who the person is, but she has nightmares and flashbacks of someone having total control over him, screaming that they own him and that he will never leave them as long as he lives, flashes of them using his body for their pleasure, the person hitting and beating him until she was black and blue.

How the Ghouls Found Out: Now, while Sodo enjoys bottoming time to time with Aether or Mountain, both ghouls had patiently spent a long time breaking down his walls enough to get her to trust them enough to do so; she is still a massive brat and fights long and hard until they fuck him into submission, both because he enjoys being a brat and also because it lets him have some control within the situation. But one day, Mountain had accidentally gone too far; he had Dew layed face down, ass up in his bed, fucking into the gremlin as the bottom moaned his name when suddenly his instincts took over, and he pinned Dew to the bed, muttering how he owned his ass and how he should tie him up and force him to be his cockslut whenever he wanted him. This instantly forced Sodo out of the moment as a flashback took over, the memories of the person screaming similar things in his face while performing the exact act on him. Overwhelmed by the memories, Dew screams Mayday, the safeword all the ghouls follow as part of the stoplight system for when they need a scene to stop immediately.

Mountain is shocked out of his headspace, instantly pulling out and cradling the now sobbing ghoul in his lap, profusely apologizing while calling for Rain, the water ghoul being the only one other than Aether, who is on a business trip with Copia at the moment, who can help calm Dew in this moment because while Mountain is confident in his abilities to help, he knows Rains water element soothes the fire and inner water of the little hybrid. Rain comes flying in as soon as he heard his name, seeing a panicking Mountain trying to calm a sobbing Sodo who is shaking and clearly in the midst of a PTSD attack, he knows slightly of the nightmares and flashbacks Sodo experiences due to being woken up by the Fire gremlin either crawling into his bed after a particularly bad night or being drawn to him due to the screams coming from his room. Rain immediately sits on the bed, pulling the hybrid out of Mountain’s lap into his, wrapping his arms around his, softly shushing him as his blue markings that cover his body begin to glow a soft teal as he uses his power to calm his packmate. He looks at Mountain, silently asking for an explanation knowing Mountain would never hurt Dew intentionally, “He had come to me, asking for me to use him because he’d had a shitty day and while I was fucking him, I guess I got too into it and I said stuff about owning him and that I should tie him up and use him as a personal fucktoy, in the moment I figured he’d like it cause I’ve said similar things before but he did not react like this…Is he okay?” the poor Earth stares terrified and guilty at the now slightly calmer but still crying fire hybrid in Rains arms. “Dew has memories from his human life,” this has Mountain's eyes widening in shock, ghouls rarely remember their past lives, let alone multiple memories.

“I don’t know the full story but from what he’s told me, apparently someone had total control over him and abused the shit out of him, constantly telling him they owned him and he was their slave to do anything they wanted to.” This realization allows Mountain to understand now why Sodo took so long to open up to him and Aether even when it was clear he wanted to, especially to the fact that while being fucked incoherent she was still a brat, because that’s how she protected himself. Sodo was finally calmed enough that the tears have stopped, but he was still shaking and clinging to Rain, Mountain slowly slides closer and his guilt skyrockets when Dew flinches away from his touch as he tried to stroke his hair but he stills himself with a deep breath, “I’m so sorry Fire Lily, I had no idea what I was saying would cause a trigger like this, it’s no excuse but I feel horrible. I won’t blame you if you don’t forgive me.” Mountain bows his head in shame when a quiet scoff makes his head snap up to see Dew weakly smirking at him, “You think I wouldn’t forgive you for saying something that you thought my kinky ass would like, just because you didn’t know about something I didn’t tell you? I know I’m an asshole, but I’m not that bad am I?” Mountain chuckles softly, looking down and wiping the tears that had gathered from his eyes in relief, as the Dewdrop he knows and loves seems to have at least slightly recovered from the PTSD attack.

The gremlin looks up Rain in a silent request, with a nod Rain releases him from his grasp with a kiss to his forehead before Dew is crawling back into Mounts lap, “You oversized idiot, of course I forgive you. I didn’t mention it cause I didn’t realize it would affect me like that. You had said similar stuff before and fuck it was hot, something about how you want to have me forever, and I’m yours to fuck and use, and I didn’t react to that,” Dew teases, “but I guess…since you said this time was similar to what they would do and say..it set me off.” Mountain sighs, leaning his forhead againsts Sodo’s, happy to have learned he didn’t fuck up his relationship with his favorite gremlin, feeling the familiar cool arms of Rain being wrapped around both of them as they settle onto the plush pillows of Mountains bed when Sodo suggests maybe they could get back to what they had been doing before with a smirk on his, earning a groan from the two other ghouls at the unstoppable horniness of the little gremlin.

Cumulus: Male Sexual Touch, Cumulus, like Dew, has some memories from her past life. It isn’t as clear who the person was or what they exactly did, other than the fact that they were male and treated her like a piece of meat, all she truly knows is that the thought of being sexually touched by a male disgusts and terrifies the curvy ghoulette. Just the idea of someone of male presenting nature, no matter if they're trans or cis, makes her want to curl away and cry. While she doesn’t mind platonic male touch, shown by how much she enjoys cuddling with the boys in cuddle piles (especially near Dew during winter months) and how she loves giving them hugs and even friendly kisses on the forehead and cheek, but it is never in a way to seem romantic or sexual, purely platonic to show her love for her packmates. (Quick AN: By trans I mean transmen and masc appearing non-binary peeps, she is completely fine with transwomen, this is confirmed when Sunny, who I headcanon as a trans, was summoned, possibly a chapter on that later)

How the Ghouls Found Out: Cumulus had been with the band for a few months, growing extremely close to the other ghouls and especially Cirrus (Sunny isn’t here yet), but one thing the boys had noticed was how Cumulus never came to them for help with her heats, Ghoulette heats are pretty painful without being knotted, usually only spending them with Cirrus. Swiss and Dewdrop, being the little shits that they are, decided to find out why. Because while they would never force themselves onto the curvy pianist, they couldn’t help but wanting to get a taste of the curves hidden beneath the Ministry appointed uniform. The pair of troublemakers decided that the next game night to suggest truth or dare, a game the pair are notorious for winning due to their severe lack of shame, since Lussy always tries to stay in for as long as possible even if doing something that makes her uncomfy. (she had been once dared by Cirrus to sit through 3 rounds in just her bra, the Air ghoulette had quickly whipped her shirt off to the dismay of the boys who suddenly all needed a pillow when the curvy female’s large chest was put on display in her lacy, lilac bralette, much to her and Cirrus’ entertainment)

So here they were, deep into the game when it became Swiss’ turn to dare someone, turning to Cumulus with an evil glint in his eye, “Hey Lus, Truth or Dare?” she gives him a questioning look, wondering what he had planned, “Truth, I know better than to get a dare from you Swissy.” This causes an impish grin to spread across the Multi’s face, “Why don’t you ever come to us when your in heat Lussy, you know we’d show you a good time~.” this causes the ghoulette to freeze up, “I..I..”, a clear look of panic fills her face and a choked sob comes from her throat as a memory of being touched by the man from her past fills her thoughts, “I��m out! I’m sorry, I have to go!” Cumulus jumps up at that, hurrying out of the room looking to be near a panic attack. “What the fuck Swiss! You know she doesn’t like to touch guys like that!” Cirrus yells at him, smacking the Multi hard on the back of his head, “No I didn’t! She has never said anything about that, she is always touching us so I didn’t think she’d care, it was just a question!” the Multi defends himself as he rubs his now throbbing head, “Swiss, she has had bad experiences with men, she is traumatized by even the thought of a male touching her in any way sexual.” Cirrus growls at him as she stands to follow after her mate, the Multi’s ears drop in guilt as he realizes how he fucked up.

“Way to go man, I know you didn’t know but I thought it was clear Cumulus isn’t interested in men, idiot.” Rain says with a glare on his face as Mountain and Aether look like they are about to launch at the Multi and tear him to shreds, “I’m sorry okay! I knew her and Cirrus were together but it was just a question, damn!” Swiss rubs his face as he tries to think of a way to apologize to the ghoulette. It’s clear the game is over with the way the other ghouls give him nasty looks as they go their separate ways, minus Dew who stays with Swiss. “Well..I guess we got our answer, I didn’t realize it was that bad..” Dew mutters as he scootches close to the other guitarist, “Me either, I had a feeling that there might’ve been something for her to not mention it. I fucked up and I know I should apologize, I just don’t know how.” Swiss says, holding his head, trying to think of a way to come up with a way to make it up to the small ghoulette, “You know Lussy doesn’t hold grudges, but maybe you could give her that blanket she always steals from you and some of those gummy worm she likes, the sour ones?” the fire ghoul suggests while standing, raising his arms above his head to stretch and pop his back, “Whatever you do, just don’t make it any worse dumbass.” With that, the little ghoul leaves the common room probably to bother Rain or Aether into fucking their frustation out in him.

Swiss weighs his options, Sodos suggestion is probably his best bet so he makes his way to the kitchen to grab the worms from his hidden stash of candy and makes his way to the ghoulettes room, stopping at his to grab the soft, plush blanket that Cumulus always curls up with when in the Multi’s room and steals whenever she gets the chance. When he makes it to the door carved with the Air symbol, he waits for a minute, thinking it’s too soon to talk to her as he hears muffled crying from behind the door, but before he can turn to leave, the heavy wooden door swings open to reveal a glaring Cirrus. Swiss drops his ears and holds up the offerings to show he comes in peace, with a raised eyebrow she softens her glare slightly as she turns to look at where he assumes the smaller ghoulette is, “Lussy, Swiss is here to apologize, do you want to see him?” Cirrus asks her partner, “He..he is?” Swiss catches a glimpse of her curled up on the large bed that she shares with Cirrus, tear stained blotchy cheeks and wet eyes look at them, the sight breaks his heart, “Yeah, I wanted to say I was sorry for asking you that question and I brought you some things to show how bad I felt..” he holds up the blanket and packages of gummy worms up enough so she can see, “He can come in honey, I know he won’t do anything.” Cirrus moves back to let the Multi in, closing the door and rejoining her girlfriend on the bed, tugging her into her lap as Swiss approaches, slowly sitting on the edge, close enough to hand her the gifts. “I know you like this blanket, you use it a hell of a lot more than I do. Also grabbed these for you, something sweet for the sweetest ghoul I know” he places the blanket on her lap with a guilty smile before dropping the several packages of the worms onto her lap, he watches as her eyes light up.

“I’m really sorry Lussy, I had no clue. I know you guys are together and I respect you, but to be honest I was just curious why you never would come to us even before for help with your heat. Aren’t they painful without a knot?” he says carefully, not trying to trigger her again, Cirrus tightens her hold on Cumulus as she takes a breath to calm herself, “Thank you for your apology, and yes it technically is painful without a knot but we figured out that humans are kinky fucks and some apparently like knots so they make dildos that have fake ones that swell and everything. Since I’ve never been with a ghoul, my body doesn’t exactly know the difference between the real and fake one so it helps but while I’m sure a..real..one,” she cringes in disgust at just the thought, “Would maybe feel better, I’m perfectly happy with the one we have.” She finishes with light flush, Swiss’ mouth had dropped open at the mention of the dildo as he had no clue those existed, he knew humans were some weird kinks but he didn’t realize they liked the idea of being knotted. “I..this might be weird but can I see it? I gotta see if it’s accurate, ya know for research purposes.” The Multi asks with a crooked smirk, a look of curiosity on his face as the two ghoulettes burst out into laughter, Cirrus gently moving Cumulus out of her lap to rummage in the box at the end of their bed, Cumulus takes the time to crawl forward into Swiss’ lap to hug him who quickly returns it, nuzzling her face into his scent gland, humming in content at his scent. She may not be attracted to men, but she does appreciate how good they smell; especially the Multi’s musky scent of spiced rum, cardamom, weed, and old leather.

Cirrus finally pops back up after a few minutes of rummaging before tossing a large purple dildo onto the bed, Swiss’ eyes nearly bulge out of his head when he notices the large knot near the base that was attached to a small pump that he guessed was supposed to make it increase, it was at least 8 inches long, 2 inches in girth, and the knot itself was about the size of a large orange at it’s deflated size. He glances between the smirking ghoulettes, Cirrus barking out a laugh at the look on his face, he looks down at the sweet female in his lap, wondering how her small, curvy body is able to take such a large thing. Then again Swiss thinks back to how Dew and himself are able to take Mountain’s knot, which is probably about 2 times the size of the dildos, and suddenly he’s glad neither of the ghoulettes are attracted to them in fear they’d be broken by the Earth giant. “Well, I’m glad your happy Lussy, I’m sorry for hurting you. I’ll do whatever I can to make it up to you.” Swiss rubs his face into her hair, letting out a trill when she presses a kiss to his cheek before looking at him with a dangerous smirk, “Anything?” “Oh no-” Swiss realizes what he just put himself into.

The next day at practise, the ghouls are met with the sight of the ghoulettes dragging a red cheeked Swiss, who had been forced by the smaller Air ghoulette, who was dressed in pink booty shorts that clearly belonged to said female that read “Mommy’s Princess on the back” that left nothing to the imagination, a white crop top that reads “Punish Me, I’ve Been A Naughty Boy” that barely covers down his sternum, with platform pink converse, along with his face being done up in matching makeup that includes bright pink lipstick that sticks out like a sore thumb on his gray face under his salt&pepper beard. All movement stops as and Swiss knows he’s in for the fucking of a lifetime if the predatory looks on Mountain and Aether’s faces say anything, Dew and Rain are now rolling on the floor laughing as Copia stands with an inquisitive look, hand on a propped out hip as he studies his Multi. Swiss decided to embrace the situation so he let out his inner model, and started posing, causing the two laughing ghouls to die even more while the ghoulettes were started taking pictures, screams of work it and you look gorgous darling come from their platform, when two very loud growls filled the practice room. The two largest ghouls of the band had slowly started stalking towards the Multi, who just realized the danger he was in and looked at Copia desperately for help, “Better run while you still can tesoro, I value my life more than that ass of yours, no matter how lovely it is.” Papa shrugs his shoulders as Swiss scrambles out the door with a yelp when they jump off the stage, followed closely behind by a near feral Mountain and Aether. The remaining ghouls placed bets on how long till they see them again, thanking Cumulus for the entertainment from where she is sitting next to Cirrus, smiling widely, a complete 360 from the scared girl from last night.

Cirrus: Degradation on Herself, as we all know, Cirrus is Mommy and will fuck you everyway from Sunday possible. But she has days where she wants to be fucked by their girls as roughly and hard as possible. But while they have no problem degrading their girls into whimpering messes, begging for Mommy to use her sluts, she absolutely cannot handle the same words she spews being used on herself and it has nothing to do with her ego or her just not liking it. Cirrus’ family in the pit were not good people, which you’d think is the standard description of people from Hell but no, most people are usually decent people or at least decent enough to not verbally abuse their children. Cirrus can legitimately not remember a single time either of her parents or siblings said a nice thing to her, they constantly put them down, called her every horrible name in their vocabulary, and would even at times put their hands on her. Which has led to her to not be able to stand being degraded as it just reminds them of their time in the pit, but she didn’t find this out until she met Cumulus and let’s just say it broke the smaller ghoulette’s heart

How the Ghouls Find Out: Cirrus and Cumulus were summoned within 2 weeks of each other so they quickly bonded together and, both being solely attracted to women, fell in love with each other. Cirrus was the clear top of the pair, usually being the one to fuck Cumulus till she cries, degrading her into Mommy’s worthless little whore before building her back up into her perfect princess. But one day Cirrus had timidly asked Cumulus if they could try reversing their roles, to which the curvy ghoulette excitedly agreed as she grabbed the strap they used and pushed her partner onto their back and went to town on them. They had been at it for a while, Cirrus now riding Cumulus as she slaps her ass and praises her, “You look so good riding me baby, such a good girl~” the words cause a whine to erupt from the bouncing ghoulette as she grips Cumulus’ shoulders for stability, Cumulus decides to try out if the degrading words made her lover feel as good as they did for her, “That’s a good slut, keep riding me like the dirty whore that you are~” but as soon as the words left the keyboardists mouth, she realizes it was a mistake, a very bad mistake.

Cirrus immediately froze, halting all movements and sinking back down on the strap as tears filled her eyes. Lussy didn’t really mean that, did she? Of course not, she isn’t like them, she wouldn’t call her those things to make me feel bad, she just said it in the heat of the moment, right. Right?’ Cumulus sees how Cirrus’ eyes glaze over as she starts to tremble and her breathing picks up, in a clear panic attack. She quickly turns them over, gently pulling out of her partner and throwing the offending toy onto the other side of the bed, before softly cupping the taller ghoulettes face, “Cirrus, baby girl look at me please, I didn’t mean it, I’m so sorry baby. I didn’t mean, you're not a slut or a whore, you're the most perfect, sweet, personI have ever met. Please look at me.” Cumulus begs as she lets her own tears fall as she tries to comfort her partner, hugging her to her chest and stroking her shorter, soft hair.

Cirrus hears her girlfriend's words and they help as she slowly calms herself from the panic attack, hugging back onto the other keyboardist. Reminding herself the sweet ghoulette would never say something so cruel to her in anything other than an effort to make her feel good, that she was replicating what Cirrus does to her when they normally have sex. She eventually calms her breathing to a mostly normal pace and shakingly cups her lover's face, “I’m sorry Lussy, I..I didn’t realize that…I should have told you about my family…” she says as she begins to explain her history with words of that nature, which unsurprisingly shock Cumulus and launches her into a tirade about how Cirrus didn’t deserve that and how she is none of the cruel words that her family called her, making sure to include how much she loves her and promising to never use those words on them again. They end the night simply cuddling until Cirrus feels herself get the familiar fuzzy feeling in her belly, “Lussy my love, how would you feel about trying that again?” she suggests as she trails a finger down her lover's belly, towards the aching core of the smaller female who agrees by simply straddling and kissing Cirrus breathless.

Sunshine: No Sex Unless She Asks, poor Sunny has a history similar to Swiss. When she was in the pit, being so young and newly developed Multi left them as an “easy target” for ruthless and grizzly ghouls like the ones that had assaulted our darling smiling ghoul, especially as she had no pack to call her own so she was alone within the sprawling landscape of Hell, left to defend herself with her just developing powers of fire, earth, and air. They grew to accept the assaults, quickly learning if she just gave them what they wanted, just laying boneless and letting them maneuver her however they wanted, it was less painful and they usually left faster, but sometimes this caused them to return as they knew they could get an easy fix of their desires. This understandably left her with a deep hatred and disgust towards anything sexual in nature.

How the Ghouls Found Out: When Sunshine was first summoned, they kept their distance physically from the other ghouls, not letting them touch her outside of brief bumps in the hallway or on the stage. As they grew more comfortable with their newly found packmates, they started initiating hugs and giving quick pecks on the cheeks of those like Aether, Mountain, and ghoulettes show thanks for helping or shows of affection, and eventually giving into the desire of being held and joining cuddle piles after near a year aftering being summoned. Still, even when clearly in the depths of their heat, she never asked for help from anyone, not even that of the ghoulettes, only ever just asking for more affection which the ghouls gave without a second thought, even though the smell of a in-heat ghoulette made things a little…difficult below the belt but never did they ever push themselves on her, not even the horn dog Sodo (though he tried to once get a little touchy which earned him a hiss and a hard bonk to the nuts where he quickly learned his lesson).

One day though, Mountain and Cirrus were walking through the garden on their daily walk together where they discussed how they thought practice went and just their days, when they heard soft cries coming from a nearby bush. Looking at each other before quickly walking towards the noise, they find Sunshine curled into a ball under a large oak tree, sobbing and rocking back and forth in what seemed to be a form of self-soothing. Knowing better than to touch the ghoulette without any warning after Aether had ended up with a claw to the face when he had startled Sunshine out of a nap by shaking her awake, they try to make their presences known as they approach and when they get within a few feet of the crying ghoul they sit up in a panic, hissing at whoever is intruding during their obviously vulnerable time, “Sunny, sweetheart, it’s Cirrus and Mountain. We heard you crying and wanted to make sure you were okay.” Cirrus slowly crouches near the skinny ghoulette, holding up her hands to show she isn’t a threat before slowly going to place her hand on the shaking leg of the Multi, “I..I..please don’t touch me.” Sunny shies away from Cirrus’ hand, something they haven’t done in months once they became used to the touch of the other ghouls in her pack. Mountain meets Cirrus’ eyes as he kneels to be closer to the clearly distressed Multi’s height, though still towering over their curled up form, they can smell the pungent scent of fear and disgust wafting off Sunshine, something had clearly happened and it wasn’t good.

“Sunshine, honey, did something happen? Did someone outside the pack touch you?” His words make the ghoulette curl even further in on herself, clearly answering his question, “Sweetheart, please tell us what happened. We can’t make it better if you don’t tell us, you don’t have to tell the full story if you don’t want to, we just want to know what’s wrong Sunny.” Cirrus sits slightly closer to the rocking ghoul, making sure there is a comfortable distance but close enough Sunshine knows she’s there. “Th..there’s been a bro..brother that has been following me around the Abbey…,” this revelation causes a low growl to erupt from Mountain’s throat, “He…he kept saying how he thou…though I was so bea..beautiful and how…he wanted to..do things with me..I tried to tell him I wasn’t interested…even saying I wasn’t interest in men..but..he wouldn’t leave me alone! I thought he had given up because I haven’t seen him in a few days but..he cornered me in the library and tried to..” Sunshine couldn’t finish as fresh tears streamed down their face and they tucked themselves even tighter into their knees. It was enough information for the older ghouls though, both now near snarling at the thought of some disgusting, pathetic meat sack trying to take advantage of their sweet Sunshine. “Mount..go tell Papa what happened. He needs to know so we can find this motherfucker and get him out of the church.” Cirrus orders, to which Mountain nods and immediately bolts towards the abbey to inform Copia while she stays with the still panicking ghoulette.

“Sunny baby, can you look at me please, I’m not going to touch you but I’m just going to move a little closer okay?” Cirrus watches for Sunshine to respond, a small thumbs up is all she got but it’s the best response she’s gotten since finding them, scooching slightly closer to sit in front of Sunshine, with about a foot of space between their knees. Sunshine takes a shuddering breath before slowly lifting their head to look in Cirrus’ general direction, still unable to fully meet their eyes, “Okay, I want you to try something with me, I need you to take a long slow breath in with me, we’re going to hold it for a few seconds and then we’re going to breath out, can you do that for me sweetness?” Sunshine nods and watches Cirrus, mimicking her breathing, slow hiccuping inhales, holding for about 7 seconds, before a shuddering release, until she feels herself calm down from the panic attack she had been dealing with for the last 30 minutes or so. Tears still slowly falling down her cheeks, she looks at Cirrus, a quiet plea to be held now which of course Cirrus answers, holding out her arms to allow Sunshine to approach at their own pace.

Slowly the lightly shaking ghoulette crawls into Cirrus’ arms, sitting sideways in her lap, who immediately wraps her arms around their shoulders, gently rocking them and wiping their tears when suddenly a multitude of running footsteps approach then, by the scent it was the rest of the pack, minus Mountain who is probably still with Papa after informing the other ghouls. “Mount told us what happened, he’s with Copia now. Who the fuck is the bastard Sunny, let us tear his dick off and feed it to him!” Dew yells as he skids to a halt next to the pair, ever the one for violence, “Dew, Papa will take care of it. Plus you know he’ll let us do whatever we want to him since you know how he is about these kinds of things.” Aether places a hand on the now whining fire ghoul’s head, kneeling next to Cirrus and Sunshine, “Are you okay Sunny? He didn’t hurt you right?”, Aether asks concerned to which Sunshine holds up her wrists to show handprint shaped bruises, “This is all, for a human he has a strong grip.” Aether stares for a moment before holding his hands out to softly lay them on the ghoulettes wrists after receiving permission to touch her, allowing his Quintessence to flow through him and heal the bruises. Mountain suddenly returns with a concerned looking Copia, “Oh mia amore, I am so sorry this has happened to you,” he says as he kneels in front of Sunshine, gently taking her hands in his with a sad look in his eyes, “I apologize for making you have to remember this bastard but we need his name or a description as to find and deal with him, tesoro.” Sunshine takes a deep breath, trying to remember the details, “I..believe he said his name was Dominique, he’s about Aether’s height, blond hair, brown eyes, pale with freckles. That’s all I remember Papa, I swear.”

Copia softly smiles at the young ghoul, patting her hands, “I believe you, la mia luce solare. I believe I am aware of whom you're talking of, several Siblings have complained of him stalking and harassing them, I believe even Mist had mentioned she had noticed someone of that description watching her when she was here last.” Copia looks at Dew, who is now vibrating with the excitement of the possibility of a hunt, “As this has now affected the ghouls, I don’t think anyone would notice that piece of shit is missing, no family is listed in his files. So tonight after Mass, I will ask for Brother Dominique to meet me in the courtyard that opens into the forest around 11pm to discuss what shall happen to him. Hopefully I am not late, it would be so unfortunate for Dominque to be left outside all alone, with no one around as everyone will be at dinner. Don’t you agree Dewdrop? Sunshine?” “Oh yes Papa, I agree. You always get so caught up with the other Siblings after Mass, it truly would be a shame for him to be stuck outside, what if a wild animal gets him?” Dew has a sadistic smile on his face as he and Sunshine meet eyes, an equal look of sadism growing in her iridescent iris’. “Truly that would be a shame~”
