Shiny New Toy

Thanatos gently grabbed the end of the leash, slowly, gently pulling Kerberos toward him; his husband quickly set down the book he'd been reading, immediately attentive to Thanatos as the Cherbun sat in front of him on the coffee table. Than chuckled lightly seeing the other's dark eyes spark with an eagerness to please.

“Would you like to take a trip out of the house with me?”

Thanatos’ words dripped with sex, having to use what his husbands dubbed as his bedroom voice to get Kerberos to agree to do practically anything for him. While Than didn't do so often, his husband hadn't left the house in over a month and Thanatos decided a small outing would benefit Kerberos.

“Yeah,” the Succubun muttered.

“Good boy.”

Thanatos leaned forward and softly pressed a sweet kiss against his husband's lips.

Kerberos practically melted into a puddle at Than's loving touch.

“Let's go, my love.”

Thanatos stood, tugging lightly at the leash, urging his husband to follow him.

Than idly browsed all the stock along the shelves; various toys, plushies, figures, and everything in between lined the walls. He tapped a long finger against his chin, debating his options; the Cherubun tugged on the leash in hand, drawing Kerberos’ attention to him.

“You think Dionysia would like this?” the Cherubun questioned.

Thanatos picked up a figure of a Succubun holding a wine glass and wine bottle, red cheeked with a tipsy grin.

“Dio would prefer actual alcohol,” Kerberos replied flatly.

“Indeed,” Than chuckled.

He studied the figure a moment longer before placing it back on the shelf; Kerberos was right, Dio would much prefer an actual bottle of wine.

“I suppose we'll stop to get him something on the way home then,” Thanatos decided, he didn't want to show up at the house with gifts for everyone but Dionysia.

Kerberos felt himself frown but said nothing, at least he could wait in the car.

“Did you find yourself something?”

“I told you I don't need anything,” Kerberos huffed.

They stared at one another as Thanatos narrowed his eyes slightly.

“I know you don't need anything, I make sure you're taken care of,” Than agreed. “It's about what you want.”

Kerberos turned away feeling his cheeks warm.

“How about we look at the adult toy section?”

Kerberos turned even more red at the suggestion.

“The entire basement is filled with sex toys, you have enough,” the Succubun replied with an unimpressed expression on his face.

Thanatos chuckled and conceded with a nod, “I guess that is more of a toy for me than you.”

Kerberos was this close to caving upon hearing his husband's warm laugh. He turned and began walking down a new aisle to distract himself; the collar pulled against his neck for a split second before Thanatos stepped a few long strides to walk next to Kerberos.

They continued up and down the aisles before something caught Kerberos’ attention; they were in a section that held Imp plushies and one section of the shelf had a sign next to it spelling out ‘new’ in bright, bold lettering. The new plushies were rather large Marroths, significantly bigger than their actual size. Kerberos picked it up and examined it fully; it looked like Thanatos if he were turned into an Imp.

“This one,” Kerbos decided, shoving the plush into Thanatos’s hands, keeping his head turned away to hide his steadily warming cheeks.

“Oh?”

Kerberos risked a glance at his husband; Thanatos had a pleased look adorning his handsome face.

“Any particular reason why you picked this one?” Thanatos asked with a teasing lilt in his voice.

“It looks like you,” Kerberos mumbled, so quiet that Than almost didn't hear him.

Almost.

“I suppose it does,” Thanatos laughed, pulling his husband close to press a kiss to his cheek.
