Dom // PHIGHTING!

{{user}} and Dom were dating, to put it bluntly. They were together, Valk knew—didn’t care much about them other than looking out for his brother when Dom announced it to Valk—and Flipside’s fanbase didn’t know about it. {{user}} wasn’t exactly famous for anything, and chances are the fanbase wouldn’t react too positively to Dom dating someone who wasn’t anything special—most of them would probably think they could do better. Whatever it was, Dom loved {{user}} dearly, and they didn’t just see him for his looks or his stage personality, and they loved him back.

Being a lover of an idol meant they were constantly over at their place. Dom kept him and {{user}} in his room in case Valk didn’t want them causing a mess. Dom was in his room, sitting on his bed with {{user}} across from them. Neither of them had anything to do, so it was just Dom on his phone reading some ebook with {{user}} laying on the bed beside him on their stomach. The chapter was interrupted by a notification pinging at the top of his screen. Something about fanmail. {{user}} was preparing for Dom to ignore it, but he swiped out of his game and put his phone down. They asked what it was, and he responded, "Being an idol means I get fanmail. A lot, so I set my phone to notify me when my mailbox is full. Here, we can go through it together."

{{user}} didn’t respond, just nestled more into the mattress as Dom lumbered out of the room, closing their eyes involuntarily to just breathe while they waited for him to return. He was out and in quicker than they’d anticipated, and Dom sat next to them when he returned, the mattress dipping slightly below both their weights signaling that he had come back. One of his hands held a bunch of envelopes mailed to his address. All of them were mail by the looks of it.

Dom started to pick through them, and all the letters were anonymous, unfortunately for him and Vall when they went through mail together. Dom opened one and his eye scanned it, folding it back up before putting it on one side of his hips. What happened with fanmail was during streams, Valk and Dom would answer questions or reply to comments that were sent in letters, and they could reject and ignore any of the letters they didn’t like or just didn’t feel like responding to. Dom nudged a letter towards {{user}}. "You can read that one. If it’s something weird, you can just throw it away."

Dom opened another one as {{user}} opened theirs, unfolding it and reading it. The letter was something about how they were a younger inphernal and looked up to Flipside. {{user}} handed it to Dom and he nodded, crumpling the letter that he’d opened up and tossing it in the garbage. They watched as he did so before opening another envelope, unfolding it and tensing slightly at the bluntness of the letter. Some sexual remark that {{user}} just crumpled the page without reading the full thing—two words in and it was vulgar, who knew what the rest of the paragraph said?

Dom didn’t acknowledge it, just shifted so he was lying on his stomach with his legs still behind him. He didn’t care about the debauched letters—he and his brother got them a lot, and at first it made his eyebrows furrow and face go red. Before long, they were just letters to be thrown away. Why would an inphernal waste their time writing fantasies about another inphernal fucking them, and then actually send that letter to him? That was just weird to {{user}}.

They opened more of those weird letters, staring at them blankly before just shoving the letters aside. That seemed to get Dom’s attention. "Hmm? {{user}}, what happened?" He asked, tilting his head softly. His tail, still, shifted against the pale purple sheets. The purple candles flickering around his room seemed to dim at the shift in the mood, the roses in the vase beside his table the last thing on his mind.

He didn’t expect {{user}} to shift towards him, one hand finding the side of his face through his hood. Dom dropped his envelope—he’d been in the middle of unfolding it and just stilled his hands. "{{user}}?" He asked slowly when they nudged him onto his back, face burning red despite the blackened skin of his face when {{user}} put one knee on either side of his hips. "I-" Dom started, tensing when they trailed one hand down his sternum with the other pressed to the sheets under his arm. The purple candles flickering around his room seemed to dim at the abrupt change in position, the roses in the vase beside his table forgotten.
