Susie

The quiet hallway outside the classroom felt entirely too small the moment Susie turned the corner. It wasn’t just her reputation as Hometown’s resident delinquent that made people clear a path; it was the sheer, overwhelming physical reality of her. Standing at a towering 6'8”, with broad, leather-jacketed shoulders and a mouth full of jagged, predatory teeth hidden behind a messy fringe of purple bangs, she looked less like a high school senior and more like a walking demolition derby.

You had the misfortune of being the one caught holding the empty box of chalk Alphys had sent you to fetch. You were just turning around when a massive, purple-scaled hand slammed directly into the locker next to your head.

The metal groaned under the force. Before you could even blink, Susie stepped into your space, completely blocking out the hallway lights and trapping you beneath her shadow. The smell of worn leather, cheap apple shampoo, and old chalk dust hit you instantly. She leaned down, her massive muzzle coming so close you could feel the hot, dangerous rumble of a growl vibrating in her chest. Her heavy tail thrashed aggressively behind her, smacking against the linoleum floor with a rhythmic, threatening thud.

"Hey," Susie hissed, her jaw splitting into a sharp, terrifying grin that showed off rows of razor-sharp teeth. She easily hooked a massive clawed hand into the collar of your shirt, lifting you just enough that your heels left the floor, pinning your back flush against the cold metal of the locker. "You think you're real funny, don't you? Walking around like you own the place. Checking out my business."

You swallowed hard, your heart hammering against your ribs as you stared up through the curtain of her hair, catching the dangerous, bright yellow glint of her reptilian eyes. She looked entirely capable of biting your face off right then and there.

But then, the tension abruptly fractured.

Susie suddenly let go of your collar, letting you drop back onto your feet with a hard thud. The terrifying scowl vanished from her face, replaced by a loud, boisterous laugh that echoed off the high ceiling. She aggressively patted your shoulder—hard enough to make your knees buckle slightly—and leaned back against the opposite row of lockers, crossing her massive arms over her chest with a cocky, playful smirk.

"Relax, I'm just messing with ya. You looked like you were about to faint," she chuckled, her long tail swaying with a much lazier, amused rhythm now. She glanced down at the empty chalk box in your hands, then back up at your face, her yellow eyes gleaming with a sudden, unpredictable spark of mischief. "Tell you what. Alphys is gonna be waiting a long time for that chalk. I'm skipping the rest of the day and heading behind the gym. You look like you need to learn how to actually have some fun..."

She stepped closer again, looming over you with a heavy, challenging grin, her massive hand extending out to block your path toward the classroom.

The neon lights of the Cyber World city were a distant, hazy blur below, casting long, violet shadows across the rooftop where the two of you had finally collapsed. The sky above was a quiet grid of digital stars, but the air still tasted faintly of ozone, smoke, and the lingering static of a fierce battle.

Susie was sitting with her back against a massive metal satellite dish, her long legs sprawled out in front of her, her combat boots caked in digital dust. Her heavy studded leather vest was scuffed, and her massive battleaxe rested against her thigh, the iron blade still humming with a faint, residual red energy. For all her bravado, her chest was heaving in deep, ragged bursts, and her long purple tail was coiled tightly around her ankle—a surefire sign that her protective instincts were still running on absolute overdrive.

You sat a few feet away, nursing a nasty bruise on your arm from where a rogue plug-enemy had clipped you during the chaos. You hadn't even complained, but Susie had noticed. She always noticed when it came to you.

"Hey. Get over here," Susie grunted, her voice rough and gravelly from exhaustion. She didn't wait for you to answer; she reached out with one massive, purple-scaled arm, grabbing you by the waist and physically hauling you across the concrete until you were sitting right against her side. Her large frame felt like a literal furnace, radiating a comforting, solid warmth that instantly blocked out the cold wind of the digital realm.

She didn't say anything for a long time. She just stared out at the flashing neon cityscape, her jaw clenched tightly. Slowly, almost hesitantly, she reached down with her massive hand, her blunt, clawed fingers gently brushing against the bruise on your arm. The sheer contrast between her immense, destructive strength and the absolute, fragile gentleness of her touch was enough to make your breath hitch.

"You shouldn't have jumped in front of that blast," Susie muttered, her voice dropping into a low, quiet rumble that she only ever used when the two of you were completely alone. She ground her teeth, her bangs falling over her face to hide the sudden, fierce flash of emotion in her yellow eyes. "That was my job. I'm supposed to be the shield. If you... if you actually got broken out here because of me..."

She trailed off, her grip on your shoulder tightening just a fraction, anchoring you against her side as if she was terrified the world would try to snatch you away the moment she let go. She suddenly turned her head, looking down at you from her massive height, her expression an intense, swirling mix of raw vulnerability and defensive pride.

"Don't do it again. Seriously," she whispered, her muzzle mere inches from yours, her sharp teeth bared in a tight, worried line. "But... since we're stuck up here until Kris finds the next path... do you want me to try and patch it up, or... do you just want to sit here and watch the lights?"

The heavy iron bells of the Hometown church had stopped ringing an hour ago, and the congregation had long since dispersed into the quiet, tree-lined streets. The sun had completely dipped below the horizon, leaving the alleyway just down the block swallowed by a deep, indigo twilight. It was the kind of environment Susie usually avoided—too clean, too proper, too full of people who looked at her worn-out clothes and assumed she was nothing but trouble.

But tonight, she was here. She was leaning against the rusted chain-link fence in the shadows, her massive frame slouched over, her hands buried deep inside the pockets of her long, torn duster coat. Her heavy tail dragged in the dirt, kicking up small puffs of dust with an anxious, erratic rhythm.

The moment you walked out from around the corner, her head snapped up.

"Took you long enough," Susie growled, though there was zero real anger in her voice. Instead, a sudden, dark violet flush crept up her neck, painting her muzzle in a rare, wildly uncharacteristic blush that she immediately tried to hide by pulling her collar up. She stepped out of the shadows, her towering build completely overtaking the narrow alleyway as she closed the distance between you in three long, heavy strides.

She stopped right in front of you, looking down with a sudden, intense focus that made the air between you feel entirely static. She cracked her knuckles, the sharp sound echoing off the brick walls, her yellow eyes boring into yours through the messy fringe of her bangs.

"Look, I'm only gonna say this once, so don't make it weird, alright?" Susie blurted out, her voice a rough, aggressive chain of words that sounded like she had been rehearsing them all afternoon. She stepped even closer, her massive boots bracketing yours, completely trapping you against the chain-link fence behind you. She leaned down, using her massive size to entirely corner you, her hands coming out of her pockets to grip the metal links on either side of your shoulders. "I don't care about the stupid church. I don't care about this entire judgmental town. But... every time Sunday rolls around, all I can think about is making sure you get home safe."

She let out a harsh, frustrated huff of air, her muzzle so close you could feel the heat of her breath against your lips. The blush on her face was burning bright now, her long tail slamming hard against the fence.

"And it's not just about protection anymore," she muttered, her voice dropping into a deep, gravelly register that sent a violent shiver straight down your spine. She tilted her head, her sharp teeth glinting in the dark as her yellow eyes locked onto your mouth with a raw, undeniable hunger. "I like you. Like... really like you. And I'm tired of pretending I don't."

She didn't move. She kept you pinned beneath her massive frame, her grip on the fence tightening until the wire creaked under her claws, leaving you completely trapped between the cold metal and her towering, heated body.

"So tell me right now," Susie whispered, a confident but fiercely intense smirk pulling at her lips. "Are you gonna run back to your perfect little life... or are you gonna let me kiss you?"

The wind howling across the roof of the abandoned apartment building on the edge of town was wild and free, smelling of old concrete, incoming rain, and absolute freedom. The school bus had rolled past the intersection twenty minutes ago, but neither of you were on it. Instead, you were standing five stories up, the entire miniature layout of Hometown stretched out below you like a toy set.

Susie stood right at the very edge of the concrete ledge, her long coat billowing behind her like a cape. She was holding a heavy, rusted metal pipe she’d ripped off an old AC unit, balancing it on her shoulder like a baseball bat. Her long purple hair blew wildly across her face, completely exposing her broad, toothy grin and the manic, ecstatic adrenaline burning in her bright yellow eyes.

"Check this out!" Susie yelled over the roar of the wind, laughing loudly as she gestured toward a massive, ancient satellite dish resting on the neighboring roof, a good fifteen feet across a deadly drop into the alleyway below.

You watched, your breath catching in your throat, as she took a massive, powerful stride backward, her heavy combat boots scraping against the gravel. With a sudden, explosive burst of raw monster strength, she sprinted toward the edge, her heavy tail trailing behind her for balance. She didn't look down. She didn't hesitate for a single fraction of a second. She launched her massive frame directly into the open air.

For a terrifying, breathtaking moment, she was completely airborne—a giant, purple-scaled force of nature silhouetted against the gray storm clouds. She cleared the gap with room to spare, her heavy boots crashing onto the opposite roof with a violent, echoing BOOM that shook the concrete. She stumbled slightly, her tail thrashing wildly to keep her upright, before she spun around and threw her arms up in pure, unadulterated victory.

"Haha! Hell yeah! Did you see that?!" Susie shrieked, her voice full of wild, infectious energy as she slammed the metal pipe into the ground. She wiped a smudge of dirt off her muzzle, her chest heaving as she looked back across the deadly five-story drop at you. The adrenaline had made her completely radiant, her sharp teeth bared in a magnificent, challenging smirk.

She walked right back to the edge of her roof, leaning over the gap, her yellow eyes locked onto yours with a terrifyingly playful intensity. She extended one massive, clawed hand across the empty air between the two buildings, her grin widening as the first drops of rain began to splatter against the concrete.

"Your turn!" Susie shouted, her voice cutting through the wind like a dare. "The gap's easy if you don't look down! I'll catch you the second you jump, I swear to God! But the rain's starting to pick up..."

She kept her hand extended, waiting on the opposite ledge with an unyielding, manic grin, leaving your fate completely hanging over the edge of the drop.

"Are you gonna leap... or am I gonna have to jump back over there and carry your chicken-self myself? Because I totally can, I can carry ten of you at once!”
