Mastermind x Lord Knight

“So, Rena says I should just come out and say it.”

“Say what?” asked Add irritably.  “Actually, shut up right now.  I need to concentrate.”

Uncharacteristically for him, Elsword actually fell silent.  Add focused on moving the tiny wire inside his Dynamo to its proper circuit, and then dripped a bit of solder on it to secure it.

“Alright,” he said finally, straightening up.  “Spit it out.”

Elsword remained quiet.  Add cracked his back and turned, raising his eyebrows.

“What’s up with you?  Jeez, you’re acting weird.”

Elsword laughed nervously and looked down, rubbing the back of his neck.  Add squinted.  Was he… blushing?

“Um.  This is kind of hard to say,” Elsword said, “but… I really like you.  And I want to go on a date with you.  Or more than one, actually.  But let’s stick with one for the start.  Will you go out with me?”

Add stared at him, watching Elsword’s blush deepen as the silence went on.  The word cute flitted across his mind.  He did his best to banish that thought.

“Alright,” he said curtly, turning back to his Dynamo.  “Eight PM, I’ll be waiting for you on the inn porch.  Don’t be late.  Now, either help me or skedaddle.”

Elsword skedaddled.

Lunatic Psyker x Rune Slayer

The battle had been intense.  Add staggered, then fell onto his Dynamos, steadying his head in his hands and feeling the pounding of his heart throb through his exhausted body.

Damn.  He was going to have to replace certain parts of the Nasod Armor after this.  The gauntlets, and some of the shoulder pieces needed rewiring, and perhaps a new function for the actual armor part-

“Add!” Elsword shouted, his voice laced with relief.  Add looked up,

Then his world tilted, and everything was warmth and the squish of blood and the ground as he was knocked off his Dynamo, and Elsword’s scent around him (wood smoke, magic, sweat) and warm lips on his.

Add was still breathless when Elsword pulled away from the impromptu kiss, now straddling him on the bloodsoaked ground and grinning with the sort of adrenaline-fueled triumph that one only feels after a battle.

“Date me,” he requested, and that was something Add didn’t feel he could say no to.

Diabolic Esper x Infinity Sword

Conwell’s voice shut up when he was around Add, Elsword had found.  Maybe the sheath was scared of Add; maybe it was trying to drive Elsword closer to the Esper, or another reason altogether. Elsword didn’t care anymore.  As long as Add provided him a respite from the whispers, he’d stay close.

They lay together in bed, in the dark of night.  Elsword curled into Add’s body, his forehead against the gem embedded in Add’s skinny chest.  Add’s leg was draped over his hip lazily, and his breathing was almost slow enough to be sleeping.

“You know,” Add murmured, shifting, “this is usually something boyfriends do.”

Elsword shrugged. “We can do that, if you want,” he suggested.  “Be boyfriends.”

Add froze.  After a moment, Elsword looked up, blinking sleep from his eyes.  “Something wrong?”

“Nobody’s ever asked me that before,” Add whispered in shock.  Elsword patted his chest.

“Well, I just did.  Think it over.  I’m going to sleep.”

Once again he pressed himself into Add and allowed the darkness of slumber to take his mind, as Add stared in shock down at this small, unerringly kind boy.
