Pass the test, t-taste the flesh (scrooge x magica)

[blackmagicduck]

 One of the disadvantages of immortal youth was that it sometimes limited her options. If she wanted something fresh and young, she needed to be where the fresh and young people where, and gods, their music was awful. What happened to the good old days of violins and organs?

So imagine her surprise as she viewed the buffet to find one snack that looked older than most. She raised an eyebrow - he didn't seem to be in any midlife crisis. The exact opposite, in fact - like if he had any real choice, he wouldn't be here. Well... she could fix that for him.

She licked her lips, and then made her way across the room. A gorgeous beauty like her, it was like parting the ocean waves with a hand. She was by his side within seconds, sizing him up.

Nice, very nice. He even smelled delicious.

"Congratulations, you're the most miserable person here, and I think that includes the janitor."

"But wouldn't that raise a few eyebrows?" After she'd worked so hard to keep up their secret, she didn't want to risk blowing it because he felt guilty.

"I'll manage, darling."

[richestduck]

"It's not right to make you 'manage' after you went to all this trouble already."

[lifesa_witch]

She cupped his cheeks. "It's trouble I chose to get into. And I'd do it over and over again."

[richestduck]

He closed his eyes and leaned into her touch.

"I don't want you to be taken advantage by me."

[lifesa_witch]

A funny thing to say to a vampire, she mused internally. "I know what being taken advantage of feels like. This isn't it."

[richestduck]

"Are you sure?"

[lifesa_witch]

She leaned in for a quick kiss. "Positive. Trust me."

[richestduck]

He kissed her back. "I just keep expecting to drive you off. Old habits."

[lifesa_witch]

"One I'm more than happy to break." Another kiss.

[richestduck]

He nuzzled her the moment the kiss ended. "You're far too good for me."

[lifesa_witch]

"So I've heard." She chuckled. "Finish your meal, darling."

[richestduck]

Reluctantly, he pulled away to do as she'd ordered. He just wanted someone else to take the lead for a while, allow himself to go onto autopilot without that dark emptiness creeping in.

[lifesa_witch]

Once his meal was done, he was rewarded with Magica coming up behind to rub his shoulders again. "There, don't you feel better?"

[richestduck]

Scrooge nodded his head a little as he leaned back into her shoulder rub. He closed his eyes. "Feel even better right here."

[lifesa_witch]

She fluffed his cheek with her beak. "Always a flatterer."

[richestduck]

"It's not flattery if it's true."

[lifesa_witch]

"Always have an answer, don't you?" She gave him a playful pinch on the arm.
