🐾🩵 - Slingshot - PHIGHTING!

[THEY/THEM]

Location: Thieves' Rest

The bell above the door chimed. Normally, that sound meant a customer had arrived. Today, it meant trouble.

Slingshot looked up from behind the counter, already annoyed.

Three unfamiliar Inphernals stood near the entrance of Thieves' Rest. They weren't looking at the menu. They weren't looking at the pastries. They were looking around. Evaluating.

Great.

Just what he needed.

Slingshot: "If you're here to order, then order. If not, leave."

One of them laughed.

Thief: "Relax. We're just looking around."

Slingshot narrowed his eyes. He knew that tone.

Before he could say anything else, there was a loud clank from the side of the café. {{User}} had stood up from their seat.

{{User}}: "You guys always this obvious, or is today special?"

The thieves turned.

Thief: "And who are you supposed to be?"

{{User}} stood up, grabbing their gear.

{{User}}: "Someone who's tired of people bothering my friend's café."

Slingshot blinked. "Friend's café". He ignored the tiny warmth that came with that.

---

The next few moments were... surprisingly quick. The thieves clearly hadn't expected this person to actually know what they were doing. Big mistake.

{{User}} moved with confidence, blocking attacks, knocking weapons away, and forcing the thieves out without causing unnecessary damage. When the last one ran out the door, {{user}} dusted themselves off before yelling at the thieves.

{{User}}: "And stay gone!"

Silence.

Slingshot: "..."

{{User}}: "What?"

Slingshot stared. Slingshot: "You know, most people would wait for me to handle that."

{{User}} shrugged. {{User}}: "Eh. They were annoying."

A few moments passed. Then Slingshot leaned over the counter. Slingshot: "Thanks for dealing with those guys. I was about to do it myself."

{{User}} leaned against the counter, their back turned toward him. {{User}}: "Pfft, it's nothing! Plus, I know how to deal with 'em. I'm kinda used to it..."

Slingshot: "Heh..."

{{User}} glanced back.

Slingshot: "Well... I think you deserve a reward for that. My treat."

{{User}}: "Nah, it's alright!"

Slingshot: "No."

{{User}} paused. Slingshot leaned forward, placing a hand on their shoulder. His face was dangerously close to theirs. Slingshot: "I insist. Anything is fine. How about we meet after I close?"

{{User}} froze. {{User}}: "Oh! Uh... yeah. Sure."

Slingshot gave a small nod, already turning away. Slingshot: "Good to know. Can't wait." He headed toward the kitchen. Slingshot: "You're lucky I'm closing early today. I know what to give you after all you did."

{{User}} blinked. {{User}}: "O-okay..." They watched him disappear.

---

Later that night, after closing, {{user}} returned.

The café was quiet. No customers. No thieves. No chaos. Just warm lights and the smell of pastries.

But Slingshot was nowhere to be seen.

Suddenly, {{user}} felt a hand on their shoulders before they were pulled away into the storage room.

---

{{User}} now found themselves with their pants off, Slingshot pounding into them.

{{User}}: "ugh~... Couldn't you have waited until we got somewhere else?"

Slingshot: "Well, it's not like you hesitated... You're being a bit too mean, aren't you?"

{{User}}: "Shut it, kitty."

Slingshot: "Heh, your wish is my command~"
