♥♥♥♥

Rather than the blaring noise of your alarm, it was the soft nudge of Shikamaru moving against your back that woke you up. A soft rustle of the sheets followed by a dip in the mattress and then the unconscious huff of a man only partially cognizant filtered through the still morning air, drawing you further out of your peaceful slumber.

Groggy and half asleep yourself, you blearily cracked your eyes open to peer over at the clock standing like an ominous sentry among the clutter on the bedside table. There was a little over fifteen minutes left until it would start screaming at you to get up, you realized with some amount of dread. You wanted to drift back off for the remaining time you had but you were already awake and regretfully aware of your surroundings so there was little hope of accomplishing that. It certainly didn’t help that the looming obligation of having to go in to work at the Hokage’s office made you feel ten times more tired than you would have if this had been one of your days off. Being an adult really sucked sometimes.

Shikamaru seemed to settle behind you then and you felt his arm curl around your middle as he snuggled as close to you as he physically could. You couldn’t stop yourself from smiling into the pillow as that anxious feeling immediately dissolved as if it were little more than sugar in warm water; thoroughly smothered under the reassuring weight of his body curling around yours like a contented house cat laying in its favorite sunbeam. You instinctively knew you could face anything the world had to throw at you with him at your back like this. 

Issuing a low hum of appreciation into the quiet room, you rolled your ass against the flat plane of his hips by way of greeting. He shifted, seemed to realize that you weren’t asleep anymore, and his arm protectively tightened around you in response. 

“It’s not time to get up yet, baby.” Shikamaru’s voice was rough and gravelly with lingering traces of sleep and the warm puff of air from his mouth tickled the nape of your neck, making goosebumps erupt across your skin. 

You drew a contentedly slow breath, basking in his presence pressed up against you like this. “I know.” You murmured, with just a hint of forlorn melancholy for effect. “I don’t want to go though. Not in fifteen minutes. Not ever.”

“Then don’t.” Was his all too simple answer to your conundrum. 

You quietly laughed as you reached under the blankets to cover his bony knuckles with your palm. The body heat coming off him was almost enough to make you forget that the likelihood of finding snow outside was exceedingly high even with spring fast approaching. He was a surprisingly effective substitute for a space heater for being as skinny as he was.

“I have to. Tsunade-sama is expecting that report to be finished today. Plus, there’s that meeting with the councilors.” 

Shikamaru snorted and pressed his face into the crook of your neck, nuzzling into you. “As fun as that sounds, I’m going to enjoy my day off. I have no intention of leaving this bed before noon.” He let out a quiet sigh before adding, much more softly, “I wish you could stay with me.”

“I do too.” 

A quiet moment passed over the bedroom and the only sound you could make out was the steady whisper of breathing. Slow and shallow. Rhythmic. It very nearly lulled you into dozing off again, which you wouldn’t have complained about, but Shikamaru’s thumb tracing nonsensical patterns just above your belly button managed to keep you tethered to reality. The rough callus tickled, only a little bit, and you knew that getting anymore sleep was well and truly a lost cause now. Resigned, you languidly stretched after a prolonged moment only to issue a quiet groan at the resulting series of pops down your spine.

“You could always tell them you’re sick.” He helpfully suggested, dragging his hand down over your abdomen to slip between your parted thighs. You tensed slightly but didn’t protest even when the pressure of his palm cupping possessively around your pussy made an interested spark ignite deep inside your gut. “My dad doesn’t actually need you there to do the paperwork for him. He’s perfectly capable of managing on his own for one day.” 

Giggling, you brought your topmost leg down to effectively trap his fingers where they were. “Shikamaru ... are you encouraging me to lie to your own father?”

“Only if it keeps you here in bed with me.” 

You rolled your eyes at the far wall but couldn’t exactly deny that the offer was tempting. Just enticing enough to make you seriously consider it. But Shikaku would have your ass if he found out you’d been dishonest with him just to lay up with his son all day and that was to say absolutely nothing about how Tsunade would react. You weren’t so sure you were brave enough to test your luck against the two of them but your resolve started to crumble when Shikamaru rolled the heel of his palm against your clit, just the right amount of teasing pressure to leave you wanting more.

His powers of persuasion were simply too much to contend with sometimes.

“Let’s say I agree to this.” You intoned distractedly. “Are you going to protect me from the Hokage’s wrath tomorrow?” 

“To my dying breath.” The sly tone lacing his now much more alert voice attested to the fact that he was already sure of his victory. The absolute ass. 

“And your father?” You pushed, trying to convince him as much as yourself that this wasn’t the best-laid plan he’d ever come up with. 

Shikamaru’s mouth curled against your shoulder and he laughed. “It doesn’t matter who it is. I’d never let anyone hurt you.” A brief kiss pressed into you through the thin material of your t-shirt, succeeding in its intended purpose of making you want him even more than you already did. “You should know that better than anyone else by now.”

You wanted to curse him for doing this to you but you were nothing if not a slave to your own desire for him. Blindly reaching back to tangle your fingers in his loose hair, you swiveled your hips down against his hand in a slow grind that left you feeling just shy of needy. 

He chuckled into your back, contentedly letting you tug at his scalp while he rolled his wrist in time with your tense, halting movements. The pressure sent exquisite jolts of pleasure racing through your body and it didn’t take long at all for the two of you to find an easy rhythm with one another; pushing, pulling and grinding together in tandem. You could feel the spot between your legs steadily dampening as your arousal swelled and you moaned when you felt the rising nudge of his cock against your lower back just a brief moment later. A silent reminder that he wanted you just as bad.

“You’re going to be the death of me at this rate ...”

Releasing a clipped exhale, Shikamaru leaned into you with his weight and half rolled you over so that he was draped across the length of your back. The change in position had you spreading your legs and bracing your topmost knee on the mattress for leverage. Pivoting your hips was made all the easier now and you rode his palm in earnest, grasping at the sheets with an increasingly tighter grip that had them bunching under your fingers. 

“That’s funny,” He whispered against the outer shell of your ear, rubbing the hard length of his cock against your upturned ass enticingly slowly. “Sometimes I think the same thing about you.” 

You keened, very softly. The pressure Shikamaru was exerting on your eagerly throbbing cunt doubled down at the low noise of wanting you’d issued and he responded with a soft groan of his own. Turning his head, he dipped his mouth down to kiss the side of your neck; pausing every so often to give your thrumming pulse a teasing lovebite. It had you squirming underneath him, desperate for the full brunt of his attention without your clothes in the way. 

“Shikamaru ... nngh.” 

Grunting in acknowledgment, he started humping you a little more earnestly. His enthusiasm picked up as the red hot desire you were mutually stoking in one another gradually mounted, dragging the hard weight of his cock over the swell of your ass so earnestly that a shudder rippled down his spine. The bed creaked softly as the sharp contours of Shikamaru’s pelvis drove into the plush cushion of your thighs and pushed you forward, bowing your back underneath him. You whimpered in delight and pressed your face into the pillows, arching up to eagerly meet his next thrust. 

“Don’t hide from me, baby,” He rasped, making your pussy clench in anticipation. “Let me hear those pretty sounds, okay?” 

You swallowed hard and tentatively lifted your head. “Aahn .... don’t - nngh - tease me ...”

He drew a pointed breath but the sudden blaring from the alarm beat him to the punch and you both started. 

“Shit!” 

Shikamaru’s fingers jolted against your cunt and quickly withdrew, shoving the blankets out of the way as he brought his hand up to reach over onto the bedside table. He slammed the button to silence the damn thing so hard that for a split second you actually wondered if he’d broken it. The strange sound it made upon abruptly cutting off didn’t exactly bode well for its longevity. 

That thought was short lived though and you promptly forgot all about it when he pulled back to go up on his knees, taking the comforter with him as he tugged at the waistband of your sleep shorts. One good pull was all it took to have them bunched just under the swell of your ass and a fresh wave of pleasant tingles ran up your spine when you felt the chilly morning air hit your exposed backside. The warmth of his hands descended upon the plump globes almost immediately, squeezing and kneading them in a pinching grip that made your breath hitch. 

“Seriously though,” You sighed, sounding far more sultry than you’d intended as you peered over your shoulder at him. “We’ll both be on the chopping block if we get caught like this.” 

Scoffing, Shikamaru lifted his gaze to fix you with a wry look even as he curled his hands around your hips and easily flipped you over onto your back without much resistance on your part. “We were always going to be in deep shit if we got caught like this so there’s really not any higher risk involved. What with you being the Jounin commanders secretary and me his son, after all. Talk about a conflict of interest.” 

He grabbed at the front of your shorts then and you curled your legs up so he could tug them down and off. They were carelessly tossed over the edge of the bed and he promptly lowered himself to nestle between your thighs, jostling you slightly with the movement. You felt yourself flush hot when his intentions became clear, happily relenting when he nudged your thighs further apart.

“Would you believe me if I said I don’t care anymore?” He asked mildly. 

“That depends.” You murmured, your heartbeat picking up a little bit as you watched Shikamaru dip his face to press a lingering kiss to the apex of your mound. “Prove it.” 

The confident smirk that slashed across his pouty mouth would’ve been enough to convince you all on its own but then he shimmied a little further down the mattress and bent close to your bare cunt. Dark lashes fluttered shut against the apples of his cheeks, savoring the moment as he tilted his head and slotted his mouth over your slit. You jolted slightly at the hot, wet warmth; lips parting on a silent groan as he kissed you, slow and steady, gradually working your labia apart with the motion. The moment his tongue flicked out to get its first taste made you twitch and hiss at the sensation, curling your toes against the sheets. His warm breath fanned out across your pelvis on a quiet sound of satisfaction, feeling almost like the barely there caress of spectral fingertips. It was enough to make you completely forget your obligation to the Hokage. To his father. The whole damn village.

With a low exhale, you arched into his mouth and brought your hands down to thread them through coarse, ink-black hair. Shikamaru issued a noise of encouragement against your pussy, the hint of vibration making you clench as he leaned his scalp into the cradle of your palms. His eyes flashed open a brief moment later and he peered up the length of your body to pin you with a hooded look that was indescribably attractive, particularly while he was dragging the flat of his tongue over your clit. You trembled, brows knitting together when a roiling pang of desire shot through you. 

“You’re always such a tease ...” 

One of those sharp, thin brows quirked up in amusement and he nuzzled into you, opening his jaw wider. The impossibly soft, wet cavern of his mouth enveloped the tingling nub and you seethed through your teeth when he gave it a torturously slow suck. He issued another rumbling groan and did it again, slowly suckling at your cunt in a rhythm that seemed to match your heartbeat. The quick flick of his tongue intermittently lashing out to prod your clit made you groan a little harder, a little louder; and you tipped your head back against the pillows as you spread your legs wider apart for him. 

“Oooh ... Shikamaru …!” 

He grunted a low sound of mirth, burying his nose further into the plushy give of your mound. Tongue slipping past his teeth once again, he took his time slowly tracing circles around the sensitive pleasure button nestled between your folds while unhurriedly working his way inward. You were trembling softly by the time he brushed against the center of your clit what seemed a small eternity later and your grip on his hair tightened. Back and forth. Up and down. His attack on your body was sure and precise, alternating between feather-light strokes and grinding it down with the flat of his tongue. It had you shaking with rapidly mounting ecstasy, twitching and writhing on top of the sheets as you softly keened up at the ceiling. 

“Aahhn .... Ahh! Right there ...” 

Wetly smacking his lips as if you were the sweetest dessert he’d ever tasted, Shikamaru lifted his head to draw a strained, faltering breath. You watched as though through a dreamy haze as the pink of his tongue darted out to lick his lips and lap up the evidence of your arousal. Those dark, dark brown eyes roved up to regard you again, glinting with mischief and surety alike as he slowly smirked at your flustered expression. 

“Who’s to say I don’t want you to cum on my cock instead of my face? Hmm?” 

The way you trembled underneath him at the low, seedy promise in his voice did not go unnoticed and he chuckled softly when you fitfully tugged at his hair. Lowering his face again, Shikamaru took a long, wet lick up the length of your slit and you gasped. 

“Why can’t I have both?” You mewled, jutting your pelvis to give him better access. 

He offered you a shrug of his thin shoulders and affectionately nuzzled against your core, the tip of his nose just barely teasing your clit. “We have all day, love. There’s no rush.” 

That little reminder that you were skipping out on work made your stomach settle like a lead weight. You started to sit up, already taking a breath to announce that you had to send a message to the Hokage’s office before everyone started to wonder at your absence, but Shikamaru was quick to curl his arms under your thighs and flatten his palms across your abdomen.

“Calm down. You’d still be getting ready right now so we have time.” He said, smiling up at you when you opened your mouth to protest. “Just relax. Let me take care of it.”

You couldn’t have missed the double entendre even if you’d wanted to and you hesitated a moment before gradually easing back onto the mattress. He looked quite smug as he made himself more comfortable, nudging even closer before closing his open mouth over the apex of your slit again. Stiffening, you slipped your hands down off his head in favor of clutching at his wide hands where they were still keeping you pinned and he promptly picked right back up where he’d left off. Your thighs started shaking almost immediately, making you suck in a faltering inhale as white hot static surged throughout your cunt and into the rest of you. 

“Ooh, shit ...!” 

Shikamaru issued a breathless laugh against your soaked pussy, burying his face between your thighs so he could worry your clit between his lips. The slow simmering flames burning within you roiled and heaved, making the rest of your body feel pleasantly oversensitized even as the heat of ecstasy continued to pool directly into your loins. You could tell you were edging dangerously close to the edge when your hips began twitching under his ministrations and you twisted, arching into the air even as you swiveled your hips to grind against Shikamaru’s face. Clearly recognizing your tells for exactly what they were, he withdrew his tongue and sealed his mouth around your clit and sucked. Hard. 

“Aaah - nngaaah ...!” Blinding starbursts erupted across your vision as you went ramrod stiff against the bed, gasping raggedly. “Shika - aaahn!” 

You were vaguely aware of his mouth curling against your soaked cunt and then he slowly leaned back, tugging on your clit until it slipped past his lips. The sharp sensation of having that throbbing little nub toyed with so relentlessly had you writhing and bracing your feet against the mattress so you could enthusiastically jut your pelvis up for more. Shikamaru was altogether uncooperative though and he turned his head to press a rough kiss to your soft inner thigh, smearing a viscous mix of arousal and spit across your skin in the process. You hissed emphatically, trembling even as you brought your knees together and sandwiched his face between your legs with a frustrated little whine.

“That’s not fair ...!” 

Dragging his hands up from your hips, he gave the pliable soft meat of your thighs a tight squeeze as his attention flitted up to coolly regard you from under the fall of dark lashes. “All's fair in love and war, baby. You know that.” 

You pulled your lower lip in a pout and warningly flexed your legs around his head. “Is that so?” 

He offered you a cocky, lopsided grin, entirely unperturbed. “Well, I can’t say I necessarily agree with that statement in a broader sense but in this case at least, I think the point stands. Don’t act like you don’t love what I do to you.” 

Unable to stop it, you smiled right back at him. He was right and both of you knew that. The slow buildup he was so adept at torturing you with would just make the explosive crescendo all the more satisfying and when he gave your leg a soft pat, you readily eased up the tension keeping your knees together. 

Shikamaru pushed against the bed and rose up on his knees to loom above you. The plain black, oversized t-shirt he’d gone to bed in was yanked over his head in one smooth motion and tossed to the side, exposing the long, lean line of his body. You licked your lips hungrily, watching the muscles in his stomach dance just below the skin. He didn’t allow you much time to ogle him though, shuffling close to kneel between your parted legs before reaching out to hook his broad hands under your armpits and tug. 

You giggled when he effortlessly pulled you up into a sitting position, bringing your hands up to squeeze at his narrow hips. He smiled at you, warm and unguarded as he could be only when you were alone like this. The sight of him looking so happy was enough to have your pussy and heart throbbing in equal measure, and it took everything you had not to start swooning right on the spot.

Oblivious to your thought, his long fingers came up to affectionately brush the side of your face before trailing down to grab the hem of your shirt. It came off as quickly as his had, exposing your tightly puckered nipples to the cool air, and you shuddered even as you lifted your hands to pull at the hem of his sweatpants. You’d never been so glad for elastic waistbands as you were when his straining cock popped up into the scant space separating you two, blissfully free of the restrictive clothing. 

Shikamaru issued a low sound of approval, palming your breast in one hand and possessively squeezing the supple swell of flesh while the other came up to curl around your neck. You leaned into the covetous gesture as you wrapped your fingers around the hard length proudly jutting from his pelvis, tilting your face up when he leaned close to press his mouth over yours. The exchange was chaste and savory in deference to the fact that neither of you had brushed your teeth yet, and you issued a quiet groan against his lips as you steadily pumped him with a gentle roll of your wrist that made him sigh through his nose. 

A soft, wet click rose up between your bodies when you tugged the meat of his foreskin down just enough to expose the glans. There was a fat drop of precum beading on the tip and you lifted your thumb to gently smooth over it, smearing the sticky slick across the head of him. Shikamaru groaned in response, breaking apart from the kiss with a low sound of wanting as he sat back on his haunches to look at you. His eyes were resting at an attractive half-mast, lips parted in a crooked, pouty ‘o’ and the faint dusting of pink on his round cheeks effectively reminded you just how much you loved him. He was easily the most attractive man you’d ever known with his smooth jawline and sharp facial features, and the fact you were lucky enough to call him yours just made your heart swell. 

Reaching out to brush a loose strand of thick, coarse hair behind his ear, you gave his cock a slow tug. “I wish you could see yourself right now.”

He snorted a quiet sound of mirth and shot you a meaningful look from under the fall of his lashes. “That should have been my line. You look wrecked and all I’ve done so far is eat you out …” 

“Well, you’re very good at it.” You offered him a salacious smile as you pulled, bunching the tip of his foreskin with another quiet click before rolling it down under the ridged glans in one smooth motion. 

The furrow between Shikamaru’s brow deepened and he shuddered at the sensation. His gaze darted down to watch you drag your palm down towards the base until the mess of black curls there brushed your knuckles. He tightened his hold on your neck then and pulled you close, leaning forward to meet you halfway. Your foreheads bumped together and the two of you stayed like that, alternating between looking into the others face and peering down at what you were doing to his cock. 

“Now who’s being the tease?” He huffed, lightly brushing the rough pad of his thumb over your tightly puckered nipple. 

You arched into the touch with a sharp inhale. “You’re welcome to come take me whenever you want …” 

Mouth curling in a lopsided smirk, Shikamaru sent you a long look from just a scant few inches away. You could see the familiar glint of fond endearment reflecting back at you and when he drew a haltingly slow breath that made his shoulders lift, you licked your lips in anticipation. “When you say things like that, it makes it hard for me not to act like a brute.”

“I might like it.”

He laughed, low and quiet; angling close to brush the tip of his nose against yours. You returned the gesture, never once breaking eye contact, and when he leaned further into you just a short moment later, you readily let him push you back against the pillows. Shikamaru followed you down, taking his rightful spot on top of you as he seamlessly slotted his hips between your thighs. You felt his straining cock nudge your cunt, tracking more arousal across your labia when it slipped through your drenched folds. A faltering groan rolled off your tongue as you brought your arms up to link them around his neck, trying to pull him down to rest against you, but he continued to hover over you with one hand braced against the mattress.

The other slipped into the tight space between you two, reaching not for his cock but for your sopping wet cunt. You jolted slightly when you felt the pads of two fingers press down on your clit, drawing tight circles around it, and the high strung arousal from only a few minutes ago immediately came rushing back at full force in a blinding surge. 

“Ahh!”

Biting down on your lower lip to stifle your cries of pleasure, you tilted your head back to fix him with an imploring look. Shikamaru attentively regarded you for a prolonged beat, watching the way your face twisted in pleasure while your body twitched against him, and the strand of hair you’d tucked behind his ear only a short while ago slowly slipped forward to hang over his temple again. You wanted to reach up and push it back, curl your fingers against his scalp and hold it in place, but with a twist of his wrist he was suddenly prodding at your entrance and you couldn’t think straight. 

“Shikamaru!” You blurted, digging your nails into his back. 

A sly edge crept across his expression and camped there as he breached your entrance with the tips of his fingers in torturous slow motion before suddenly withdrawing them. “What do you need, baby? Tell me.” He repeated the same action twice more, just barely dipping into your body and then immediately pulling back out. It had you clenching down on nothing and letting loose a frazzled groan into the statically charged air. 

“I need to cum on your cock,” You choked out, trying once again to pull him down on top of you. “Please …”

Shikamaru acquiesced this time and a reverberating groan rumbled deep in his chest as he settled against you, the pliable swell of your breasts squishing against the firm expanse of pecs. You invitingly arched against him even as you brought your legs up to hook them around the small of his back, trying to nudge him closer with the balls of your feet. Shikamaru’s attention was focused on guiding himself to your waiting entrance though and you both seethed in unison when the glans started to sink inside. The stretch gradually grew more intense one torturous fraction at a time until you were blinking through a film of stinging tears, your mouth hanging open in stricken ecstasy. The further he reached inside your body, the harder it was to stay grounded and you finally threw your head back with a half choked moan just as he settled against you at long last. 

“God,” He breathed out, sounding like even that much was a struggle. “You have no idea how good you look when I’m inside you, baby. You really don’t.” 

You drew a shuddering inhale. “It feels good …!”

“I gathered as much.” Shikamaru murmured laughingly as he bent close to press a bruising kiss to your jaw, his narrow chest working against yours. “I’ll start to get a big head if you’re not careful.”

“You already had a big head.” Whimpering softly, you turned to shove your face into his shoulder and muffle the last bit. “And I don’t mean your ego.” 

That didn’t stop him from hearing it though and Shikamaru issued another breathless laugh as he flattened himself flush against you, working his arms between your back and the mattress. “Mean girl.” He mumbled in a fond tone.

You smiled against his skin, feeling like you were floating somewhere between this plane and the next as he slowly angled his hips back. The drag of his stiff cock against your spongy inner wall made you feel lightheaded and dizzy, head lolling on the pillow as you braced for what was coming next. You were much too far gone, lost in the rosey daze of carnal pleasure, to realize that you should have left about ten minutes ago and the thought never even crossed your mind when he pushed back in straight down to the base. A grunt on his end and a staggered gasp on yours with an accompanying wet squelch of your body sucking him in deep. That was all you could focus on at the moment and you clung to him as he started up a steady rhythm of push and pull, the soft thunk of your headboard meeting the wall helping set the tempo. 

Shoving his face into the crook of your neck, Shikamaru seethed with every downward lunge while his fingers dug into your ribs hard enough to bruise. The onslaught of stimuli was overwhelming in the best possible way and you heaved for air as the space between your bodies quickly grew stiflingly hot and sweaty. It made your flesh stick to his, abrasively pulling at the soft expanse of your tummy where it was pressed flat to the hard line of his stomach. Your breasts were in the same boat and you mewled when you felt the soft skin of his nipple drag across yours, sending explosive shockwaves racing down the curve of your spine. 

You writhed under him and locked your ankles together over the small of his back, clutching at him in your desperation. Shikamaru’s quiet groans rose in pitch when your pussy clamped down on him with a warning tremor so strong that it seemed to bleed right through you and into him. Slowing to a shuddering halt, he took a moment to steady himself and he used the opportunity to grind against your soaked core with a stuttering pivot of his hips. The coarse hair at the base of his cock teased your clit with the motion, making you teeter that much more closely to the brink of release and the added pressure on your quaking guts instantly had you shaking uncontrollably around him. 

“Shika - aaahn! Shikamaru! I’m gonna’ cum! Please! Nnnghh … don’t stop!” 

Sucking in a haggard breath, he resumed his earlier thrusting with noticeably more urgent enthusiasm. He wanted you to find release on his cock, basked in the knowledge that he could make you shatter with his own body the same way some men took pride in the knowledge that they could go for hours without ever stopping to ask if their partner had been satisfied at any point during that time. You’d been there and done that before, and as a result you hadn’t thought the sheer heights of ecstasy Shikamaru took you to could actually exist before you’d met him. It was a heady, intoxicating feeling to know your pleasure was so important to him and you happily let the cresting waves of building tension swallow you up even when they threatened to suffocate you with the sheer intensity of the sensation.

The headboard was now banging against the wall loudly enough that there would be no mistaking the reason, and you idly hoped your neighbor was away on a mission. You weren’t so sure if you could survive the embarrassment of receiving a formal noise complaint, particularly not when the pressure in your throbbing cunt doubled down and you suddenly realized that you were wailing Shikamaru’s name up at the ceiling. 

“Shhh. It’s okay, baby.” He rasped, panting into your neck so vigorously that you could actually feel the moisture beading between the two of you. “I - nnghn. I’ve got you! Cum on my cock so I can fill you up, okay?” 

The mental image of him releasing deep inside you added on to the potent memory of him doing just that many times before made you seize, releasing such a stricken shriek of delight that you sounded possessed to your own ears. There was no stopping it though and you heaved once, twice - the tense muscles of your fluttering pussy staying locked in dizzying overload for the beat of two seconds - and then the coil snapped. You jerked under Shikamaru so hard that the bed slammed into the wall with enough force to make the contents of the nightstand clatter. You probably would have shot right off his dick if he’d let you but, true to his word, he held tight. Keeping his arms linked around your convulsing body, he fucked you right through your orgasm and into his own until your cunt was a pulppy, churning mess and he was shooting ropes of hot spunk against your cervix. His off kilter groaning rose in pitch and joined yours, the two of you shaking against one another for what felt like a small eternity. 

Shikamaru was the first to come down and he went boneless on top of you, trying to catch his breath even as he nuzzled into while you rode out the lingering tremors of orgasm. Your shuddering passage clamped around him in rapidly weakening contractions a few more times before stilling altogether and you let out a flusteredly gratified puff of air that made his hair shift against your cheek. Slowly letting up the tension keeping your legs curled around his waist, you let them slide down the backs of his slim thighs to hook in the bends of his knees. Both of you were sweaty, tangled up messes but the contentment radiating around you was practically palpable. You’d never dreamed sex could be so satisfying. 

It was the plush give of Shikamaru’s lips on your neck that finally drew you back to reality and you turned your head, pressing a kiss of your own to the outer shell of his ear. You felt his lips curl into a smug grin and you couldn’t stop yourself from smiling too. It was infectious.

“I think you’re slowly getting louder and louder.” He murmured softly.

“Shut up.” You laughed, bringing one hand up to tangle in his hair and cradle the back of his skull while the other looped across his broad shoulders. 

Shikamaru breathed a deep sigh of contentment as he shifted on top of you, seemingly getting more comfortable. A few minutes passed in this fashion and it seemed inevitable that the two of you would drift off in each other's arms when an abrupt knock at your front door startled you both awake. 

“I’ll get it.” He grumbled and sat up, though not without a yawn to go with his compliance. 

You giggled, rolling over onto your side so you could watch him stumble out of bed and back into his sweatpants. The urge to reach out and playfully smack his ass had just gotten the better of you when another knock sounded at the door, but this time it was accompanied by a voice. 

Shikaku-taichou’s voice.

You’d recognize it anywhere and you froze, arm still stretched out on its aborted mission. Shikamaru’s expression visibly paled as he shot you a quick, surreptitious glance and you both seemed to realize that neither of you had sent word to the Hokage’s office regarding your absence at the same time. The twin looks of dawning horror probably would’ve been quite comical had the circumstances been any different. 

“I’ll answer the door,” You whispered, heart in your throat as you jumped up to find your clothes. The thick, goopy mess between your legs promptly made itself known and you winced. “Hurry up and hide, just let me handle this.” 

“Oh, like that’s going to do any good.” Shikamaru snipped as he frantically looked around for his discarded shirt. “That’s the Jounin commander out there and my father! If it was that easy to hide from him, he wouldn’t be your boss right now.” 

You threw your hands up in frustration and spun around to face him, suddenly finding yourself standing chest to chest with your (secret) boyfriend. The two of you hesitated, regarding each other for a quiet moment of uncertainty. “What do we do?” You finally asked him in a small voice. 

Shikamaru opened his mouth to speak but it was Shikaku’s words drifting through the front door that answered your question, much to your mortifying shame. 

“Look, I know my son is in there with you so you don’t need to try and hide it. I’ve known about you guys for some time now, actually. Just let me in so we can talk, alright?”

He didn’t sound particularly upset, more tiredly weary than anything else, but you still felt certain you’d die from embarrassment alone. A brief look at Shikamaru quickly assured you that you weren’t the only one feeling that way and you reached out to comfortingly take his hand. You’d never seen his face so beat red in all the time you’d known him. Even the time he’d slipped on ice and landed flat on his ass when he’d been trying to show off in front of you hadn’t made him look quite this humiliated.

“It’ll be okay.” You assured him in a soft tone. “Let’s just talk to him, okay?” 

Forcibly shrugging off his shellshocked daze, Shikamaru peered into your face for a long moment while those big brown eyes darted back and forth over your features in search of an answer. Then, so imperceptibly you almost missed it, he squeezed your fingers with a cautiously optimistic smile. “Okay. Let’s tallk.”

The Storm That's Brewing

Summary: they just kinda speak

Warnings: mention of snek

Chapter 4- The Day Gets Longer

“You’re afraid of snakes.” Virgil said when they got home, flopping onto the leather couch that he hated peeling himself off of. Seriously, why did Roman have to bring a leather couch? Who even owned spare black leather couches?

Across the apartment, Patton was quietly chatting with Logan about their experience at the vet.

“What? I most certainly am not. What ever gave you that idea?” Roman spluttered.

“Its okay if you’re afraid of snakes, Roman.” Virgil said.

“Sure it is, but I’m not. So...” Roman replied, unconvincingly.

“Hey Pat,” Virgil sing-songed, smiling mischievously at Roman, “Can you bring Raman over here?”

Patton looked at Logan, and the pair walked- well Logan walked, Patton pretty much skipped- to meet their other roommates in the lounge.

“Raman?” Patton asked.

The thing with animals is, usually they don’t have names. It’s a very human thing. Some more advanced species, did in fact use names when speaking to each other, like dolphins used unique whistles to identify each other, but Patton was the only one that could pronounce them (Patton could do a very good dolphin whistle, as everyone found out when Patton and Virgil last went to the zoo, that was a very stressful day). So, the first thing Patton did with animals that would be sticking around- like Margaret or Michael or the hundreds others that Patton somehow remembered- was find a suitable name for them that humans could pronounce too.

The animals liked it most of the time. Virgil prayed this was one of those times. The snake wouldn’t bite him with Patton around, surely, anyway. But what if Patton hated it too?

Virgil shrugged, as best as he could while lying down, “Dunno, seemed pretty fitting, ‘cause he looks like a noodle.” And it will drive Roman insane, Virgil thought.

“Aw, I love it!” Patton clapped, Raman looked annoyed at the sound.

Logan sighed sadly, “I don’t think it is wise to get attached to this snake- you said we must take him to the shelter in a week.”

Patton’s face fell, “Well, the shelter said we should but what if-”

“We cannot have pets in the apartment, Patton. Plus we have already spent a lot of money on it-“ Everybody avoided eye contact with Logan, “-and I do not think that you will very happy with the snake’s feeding habits.”

“What do snakes eat...?” Patton frowned.

Logan opened his mouth to answer but Virgil spoke first, “It doesn’t matter Pat. Anyway I was wondering if I could hold Raman?”

Roman glared at Virgil. Patton, on the other hand, seemed delighted, “Of course! I’m sure you two will get along great.”

The snake hissed something. Virgil’s nerves shot up. Patton wouldn’t reply, right? Right. Patton simply nodded subtly and handed the snake over to Virgil, who sat up and offered his arm.

The snake happily (as far as Virgil could tell) coiled around his arm.

Patton leaned in close and whispered quietly to Virgil, “He likes his name.” Virgil smiled softly, then made eye contact with the snake. They regarded each other curiously, but neither attacked, so they were both content.

Their calm moment ended quickly when an idea struck Patton, “Since we’re all here, why don’t we watch a film or something?”

Virgil nodded and adjusted himself so that Roman could sit on his left, next to Raman. Virgil looked innocently up at Roman. He eyed the snake cautiously.

“Sorry Pat, I’ve got to leave for work.” He lied, only checking his phone for the time afterwards. 7:30. He didn’t actually need to leave for another hour, maybe he could go to a coffee shop or something.

Logan fidgeted, “You don’t have to be at work for another ninety minutes.” He stated.

Virgil looked quizzically at Logan. Logan even looked surprised himself. Honestly, not even Virgil knew Roman’s schedule. Perhaps, Virgil considered, Roman’s spy theory had some credit after all. He quickly waved the ridiculous idea out of his head before he could start panicking about what a spy could learn while living with them.

Roman laughed nervously, “Yeah, sometimes I come in early to help set up.”

“Lie.” Logan said. His eyes widened and he brought his hand to his mouth- not quite covering it, but looking like he wanted to. Virgil wondered what was up with Logan today.

Roman looked extremely uncomfortable, “Yeah, uh, well there’s never a bad time to start?” He said, his statement more of a question than anything else.

Everybody visibly relaxed when Patton chimed in, “Oh I think that’s a lovely idea, Roman,” He said, “We could help if you’d like? Or we could just watch you perform. From what I’ve heard around the house, you’re great.”

Roman didn’t particularly want to go and help set up, but flattery sure was the way to his heart, “Sure Pat. Hey, I might even be able to get you guys a discount. My boss is pretty cool.”

“Great! Logan, Virgil?” Patton asked.

“I can’t think of a reason why not.” Logan replied.

Virgil’s day had already been stupidly long and tiring: he’d opened up the shop at nine, then walked all the way to three, then the whole thing with the snake and the vet... Still, he didn’t want to be rude. Well, not properly a rude- a little teasing should be fine he reckoned.

“Listening to Roman sing for a whole three hours? I don’t know if I can deal with it for that long. I already hear the whole show through my wall.” He teased.

"Hey! I'm great! And plus, I only have to sing so loud to compete with your emo music. You know MyChemicalRomance broke up right?" Roman argued.

Virgil pretended to wipe a tear from his eye, "Don't remind me."

Logan coughed in the clear 'Are you two done yet?' way that he did very often. It probably wasn't very good for his throat.

"...But yeah. Okay, fine I'll come." Virgil said, sparing Logan's throat any further pain. He stood up, ready to leave, then remembered the snake on his arm, "Uh... What about Raman?"

Roman took a step back, "He absolutely cannot come to the restaurant."

"Yeah, someone might mistake him for an actual noodle and eat him." Virgil joked.

Patton looked horrified.

"I'm sure he can stay alone in the apartment for a few hours. He may stay in my room as it is the least hazardous, and I will leave the space heater on a low setting so that he is warm but there is low risk of fire." Logan stuck a hand out to take the snake, who simply stated at him. He didn't move until Patton reassured him (in English) that it was fine.

Logan carefully placed the injured snake on his bed, and placed the space heater- as promised- nearby. The snake quickly settled near his pillows (close to the heater). Content with this, Logan left the room, closing the door behind him.

During his short trip to his room, Roman and Virgil had left for the car. Patton waited behind, apartment keys and Logan's favourite Milford coat in hand. Logan loved the coat as it made him feel like his favourite book character: Sherlock Holmes. Patton, who was rather short with dirty blond hair, looked rather like Watson too.

Watson offered Sherlock his coat, which he graciously accepted; despite the trip to and from the car being short, it was still very chilly. Logan assumed it was for that reason that Patton took Logan's hand once they stepped out into the brisk evening air.

Chapter 5:

An Underswap mini fic thing with reader insert: Rainy Day with BlueSky

You listened to the light pitter patter of the rain as it bounced off a near by window. You had a hot coco in hand as you mindlessly scrolled through the internet. Nuzzling in a blanket draped over your shoulders you scooted just a little closer to the heater. It had been raining for more than a week now, and as lovely as it was, you were growing tired of being cooped up in your small apartment with nothing new to do. It rained so hard at times a few streets were flooded, so all the local weather stations recommended staying indoors. Today it seemed the precipitation was finally letting up. Not long after making your third cup of hot coco, you received a text from a contact you had dubbed “BlueSky”.

“Water you doing today?”

                                                                                                                                                                                                              “Really”

                                                       “Just being board out of my mind”

                                                                                 “Why do you ask”

It was then that you heard a knocking coming from the front door. A part of you was not inclined to leave your warm cozy space, but this development did intrigue you. You opened the door, still wrapped in your blanket. You were greeted to the cheerfully smiling skeleton clad in blue and gray. With his signature bandana of course. “MY FRIEND! CARE TO JOIN ME ON AN ADVENTURE?” “What sort of adventure?” You inquired. Things always became. . . interesting is the best word to describe it. Things always became interesting when ever he was around. Every time you had met, he always managed to surprise you in one way or another. And as you had suspected, this time would be no different. “WHAT SORT, I DON’T KNOW. THAT’S WHY WE MUST SEARCH IT OUT!” “You just want to explore.” The stout skeleton chuckled. “WELL, IT WOULDN’T BE AN ADVENTURE IF I HAD A SPECIFIC DESTINATION IN MIND, MY FRIEND!” “Sorry bud, but you’re going it solo today. It’s raining, and I don’t want to part from my heater any longer.” “AWW. WHAT IF WE RAN!” “Running?” That came out more as an unamused statement then you had meant it too. “WHY YES! IF WE KEEP MOVING, YOU’LL STAY WARM!” “Dude, it’s raining out there. Way too dangerous. I’d fall on my face or into a street with cars.” “THEN I’LL CATCH YOU! THERE’S NO NEED TO FRET ABOUT DANGER WHEN I’M AROUND! I’VE BEEN TRAINING TO PROTECT OTHERS FOR MOST OF MY LIFE! WON’T YOU COME WITH ME?” “. . .” You fell silent for a moment as you took a sip of your delightful hot coco. “What about Alphys?” “I INVITED HER, AND OTHERS, BUT THEY ALL REFUSED MY OFFER.” Sighing you placed the mug on a near by table. “I swear, if I get sick, you’re nursing me back to health. And trust me, I’m a b*tch to deal with when I’m sick.” “HEH, AND DON’T I KNOW IT. THANK YOU MY FRIEND!” “Yeah, yeah. Just give me a moment to get out of my comfy clothes.” Sans or “Blue” as you normally called him, plopped himself next to the heater. After swiftly changing you both headed out side. A-and Sans dashed away!? “Blue!? Where are you going!?” He stopped to look over his shoulder while still jogging in place. “PART OF MAKING SURE YOU DON’T GET SICK IS KEEPING YOU WARM! WE ALREADY DISCUSSED THIS UP STARES! DON’T YOU REMEMBER!?” “Yeah, well, I can’t run as fast as you! Not all of us have trained to be knights!” He jogged at a slow pace for his standards so you could just barely not keep up. He found amusement in your failed attempts to catch up to him. That was till you slipped and almost crashed into a lamp pole. To you one moment you felt yourself lose your footing, the next you were in the skeleton’s arms, being held steady. “I told you I’d fall.” “AND I TOLD YOU I’D CATCH YOU.” He wore that smirk you loved and hated. It was the one that was shown when he won at any competition. The one that couldn’t help but appear when a jape he’d been planning for weeks fell into place. The awful smirk that always shown when he couldn’t contain his pride any longer. “Oh, I’ll wipe that smug look off your face!” Pushing him a side you dashed as quickly as you could around the corner. You then ducked between some old buildings and hid behind a wall. You knew that you couldn’t out run him, you had attempted that more times then you could count, but perhaps you could pull the wool over the eyes of the great prankster himself. “DID YOU REALLY THINK THAT WOULD WORK?” Or he would be standing right beside you. “Seriously, how do you do that!? Sometimes I swear you can just, teleport or something!” Your companion couldn’t help but chuckle. He winked while holding a pointer finger in front of his mouth. “OH NO MY FRIEND. I ONLY USE THAT IN EMERGENCIES.” “. . . Was that a joke?” “WELL, IF IT IS, I HOPE YOU NEVER FIND OUT! I’D HATE FOR THE IMPLICATIONS OF YOU BEING IN TERRIBLE DANGER TO COME TRUE.” Finally, you took in your surroundings. It appeared it was raining harder again. The place you were at was flooded. Not by much, but it was high enough for sand bags to have been placed in front of doors. The water was also swiftly rising, almost reaching your ankles already. “MIGHT I SUGGEST WE GET GOING?” “Yeah, definitely.” Your first thought was to get to higher land. You climbed over a fence and you managed to get onto the metal fire escape that stood behind it. You then raced up it till you reached the roof. “NOW WHAT?” “I. . . didn’t think that far ahead, uh. Oh.” You locked eyes on to the next roof over. “. . . OKAY.” Without hesitation he leaped across the gap. He twirled around to face you. “WELL. . .” “Uh. . .” “WHY AREN’T YOU COMING?” “This is so dangerous!” “. . . I SUPPOSE SO, BUT WE ONLY HAVE ONE LIFE TO LIVE. SO, EITHER WE CAN FIGHT FORWARD AND LIVE IT TO THE FULLEST, EVEN IF IT HURTS, OR. . . WELL, I’M NOT SURE WHAT.” “. . . F*ck it!” You took several steps back before bounding across the roof and taking a mighty leap. You felt gravity already pulling you back down, and your vision blurred. Suddenly you hit hard stone, but not of the ground like you were expecting. Sans clutched one of your hands in both of his own. Half of his body leaned over the edge of the roof. “T-thanks!” “HUH? NO NEED FOR THAT! WHAT ELSE ARE FRIEND FOR?” He pulled you up with ease and didn’t let go till he was sure you were secured on the roof. “ARE YOU BRUISED ANY- HEY!” Before he had the chance to finish his sentence you were already jumping towards the next roof, this time landing on it. “Aren’t you coming!?” “OH, IT’S ON!” Sans swiftly began to make chase after you. You both leaped from roof to roof, relishing the wind that was now picking up, and the rain that was now pouring down with such force you could swear someone was hurling mini water balloons at you from above. Not wanting to be out done by your competitor once more you decided your next target should be something other than a roof. As he was launching himself towards the next roof, you instead threw yourself onto a bus that just started to leave its station. You landed on it with a loud thud. You immediately regret your decision after feeling a sharp, prickling pain pulsing from your legs and arms, which you had used to land. You crawled away from the edge, and made sure you were in the middle, lessening your risk of falling off. You rolled onto your back and draped your arms over your eyes. You decided that this was enough excitement for you for one day. “Hey Blue. . . Uh, Blue?” You sat up and looked around. It was dark, that was all you could make out. A storm was certainly directly over the town. Wind was crashing around, almost knocking you off the bus. Well. . . This was certainly a fine mess you had gotten yourself into. “HEY!” “Blue!?” “OVER-*HUFF* OVER HERE!” You slowly inched toward his voice. You saw him trying his damnedest to keep up with the vehicle, but the weather conditions were holding him back. Using one hand you held onto the edge, and with the other you reached out towards him. He summoned two bones, out from the ground, under his feet, hurling him forward. Of course, in this moment the bus took a sharp turn, but you managed to catch his hand anyway, almost falling off in the process. You immediately dragged him up. “W-well, that was fun.” Sans simply stared at you. “Something wrong?” “. . . THANK YOU FOR TODAY.” “No problem. In fact, I should be thanking you!” “MWEH HE HE. MUCH OBLIGED! SO, ANY PARTICULAR REASON WE’RE LEAVING TOWN?” “That’s where this is going?” “YEP!” “We need to get off this thing!” You had to squint when looking around, but you realized you were at the outskirts of town, just leaving it in fact. You could see those grassy, rolling hills that surrounded the town come into view. “After we get to the hills, on the count of three, we jump, yeah?” “YES!” Those moments leading up to that jump were exhilarating, and horrifying at the same time. After taking a deep breath, you spoke. “One.” “TWO!” “Three!” With your hands clasped together, you took that leap into the dark. Sans pulled you into his arms, and held you close. You crashed onto the ground before rolling and rolling till you finally slowed down. “ARE YOU OKAY? ARE YOU INJURED IN ANY WAY?” “Dizzy. . . Very dizzy, and sore. What about you?” “I’M A-OKAY! NOW, LET’S GET GOING!” Before you could react, Sans lifted you into his arms and he dashed across the ground at an impressive speed. “Hey, I think there are some trees over there.” “GOOD EYE!” Once you reached there, Sans placed you down. “Say, why don’t we rest here for a moment?” “HMM. . . WHY NOT.” Sans sat beside you. Though you weren’t that far from town, the weather was certainly calmer. The rain lighter, and the wind quieter. . .  Before either of you realized it, you both had fallen asleep.

Time: Friday 25 th

Place: Art Department

Between: Desmond & Anabelle

Plot: Desmond and Belle hang out a bit and Des learns of the issues between the people important to him

There's still so much to do, enough to have Belle's appointment book and day planner overflowing with notes and dates and assignments. She drops both books on one of the tables in the studio, along with a bag full of gigantic hardcover textbooks for the upcoming semester. Rubbing the back of her neck, she flops into a chair beside Desmond to look over his class schedule, more awkward with him now since the fight with Alex but trying her damndest not to take it out on her relationship with her favorite person in the department. "You should take the afternoon life modeling class on Wednesday, I'm doing the modeling again this semester. The professor brings in donuts and keeps a space heater on in winter so it doesn't feel like an ice box. Who do you have for animation?"

Desmond had been feeling pretty good so far. He had his whole thing with Alex and they talked, which was really needed now that he thought about it and now he could focus on other things. Like stuff going on with Belle. He knew she was busy, with the wedding, the kids, and everything else. He couldn't really imagine how she kept her head on straight but he commended her efforts. He scratched at his chin, "I dunno...I do so much life modeling already," he mumbled, mostly to himself as he thought of the countless sketchbooks with people in them. But really...taking it again couldn't hurt. "Uuuuh," he blinked searching his head for a name. "I lost it...but the paper's somewhere in my bag...I dunno."

"Yeah, but not with me. I'm the best." She grinned, tilting her head to beam at him cheekily, then looked back at the papers in front of them. "I'm thinking about the graphic design 101 thing and dropping journalism. Would be nice to be able to do my own marketing instead of subcontracting..." She leaned against him, head tilting to his shoulder. So many things had been changing in her life, it was nice to have something that felt normal. "Someone said they saw you hanging out with...whats his name. Rolan? What's up there?"

"I got you to pose covered in glitter though?" He laughed. He thought about it. "Sounds smart, best to cut out the middle man and all that jazz. Plus...if you really wanted you could always pick journalism back up some time later." He smiled at the relaxed feel of it all tilting his own head slightly to rest it on top of hers. "Hm...don't know any Rolans. Unless you meant Riley. Then nothing really," he grinned, "he's a new friend of mine." He took small moment. "You're okay? With all the planning and stuff? You don't need any help?" He kind of like a jerk for only asking this now, but he felt partially intrusive when she had so much going on. Even though he knew that wasn't really the case in the end.

"That was photography, not drawing," she pointed out, but smiled at the memory. It felt like she's ago now. "Eh, I was only in it for fun and to do the advice column. It ran its course." She tried to picture a Riley in her head, the image clicking with another notable redhead on the school's Instagram radar. He was cute, and available if she remembered right. "New friend with potential?" She nudged his side a little, hoping that the issue with Alex's public displays with another guy and everything that had happened since had finally put him off of the older man. "No, it's fine actually. Easier than I thought it would be, I just stuck some post it's in a magazine and gave them to my planner and Mitchell. All I have to do is show up and look pretty. You're coming, right? For sure?"

Desmond shrugged, he couldn't argue that. "Oh, so you're not gonna be offering up advice anymore? Those were always fun to read." Desmond couldn't help but to roll his eyes. "Potential for what," he asked in feigned ignorance. Though...he was still very much looking forward to his blowjob at some point. He let out a sigh of relief himself. "Whew, glad it's all so simple. I used to watch those wedding reality shows when I was younger. They always kinda looked like a nightmare. And of course I'm coming. Wouldn't miss it for the world."

Belle gave him a withering, if affectionate, look. "You know what. Are you seeing him? Or anyone really? Gotta know if you're bringing a date to the wedding," she tacked on as an excuse for her nosy prying. She stood up to stretch out her lower back and walk around the table, sitting on it instead and laying back so that she's looking at him upside down. She finally cut to the chase, even though it wasn't an easy conversation. "Are you still seeing Alex?"

"Oh is that all," he shook his head. "Well no I'm not seeing him... though I did end up blowing him." He mumbled that last part. "And I wasn't planning on bringing a date to the wedding. Except maybe Kuroko's if she's allowed." Desmond looked down at her, an eyebrow raising at her question. "Yeah..." He said slowly almost cautious. "I last spoke to him Tuesday...he's been gone for a bit."

Belle gasped out loud at the admission in false shock, but real delight. "He's cute, good on you." Unfortunately, that apparently didn't mean that things were off between him and the music professor. She couldn't hide the grimace. "Of course you can bring her. Can I ask why? He's not exactly claiming you in public, unless I missed something major. And it's been what, six months? Longer?" There was clear bias and distaste in her voice, she still hadn’t gotten over the argument, what she thought of as the last of several straws.

Desmond smirked, "He is cute." He nodded, glad this was pet friendly affair since he had gotten her a suit and everything. The grimace surprised him. "Almost a year I guess, and...he doesn't have to claim anything. We're not dating." He narrowed his eyes at her tone of voice, the shift in mood making him frown. "What's up you huh?"

"He's not dating anyone, as far as I know, but that doesn't mean he's not out with other people. It just seems...unfair. Especially considering his gripe with you telling me about the two of you. Since he was going to so much effort to keep you a secret but has no problem making out with someone at a public school event." Sighing, she sat up and turned on the table, crossing her legs to sit in front of him. "Not long ago he showed his true colors to me, that's all. He's and trust me when I say I don't use the word lightly, an asshole."

"He was," he took a deep breath. "He was doing that for my benefit. And that---" he waved a hand in relation to the incident, "was dealt with. We talked about it already. He can do whatever he wants and I can do whatever I want." He was being defensive, he knew, but they-- him and Alex-- had a really good and needed conversation. He thought they were in a better place than they had been when he left. "I know he's an asshole," he said, "what he do to you?"

Belle hesitated. Desmond was obviously still defending Alex, and she didn't feel like getting into another fight with someone she considered a friend - but she also wasn't about to lie and say that it was no big deal, when it was. "Aside from sticking his opinions where they didn't belong, being patronizing and implying that Mal and I don't have the kids' best interests at heart, he told me that I'm setting a bad example for them and that my upbringing was bad, apparently because I had a nanny. He made Mal think that the government would take the kids from us if we hired help, if I didn't quit school and work and stay home with them. Here." She leaned over to pull her phone from her bag, finding the conversation with Alex, and the screencaps she'd taken of what he'd told Mal, and handed it over to Desmond. "Full disclosure, I said some harsh things. I meant it."

Desmond read through the whole text conversation twice and then skimmed it a third time. This was...bad. Which, in and of itself, an understatement. But...from what he had read... Desmond sighed and handed her her phone back, sitting back in his seat. Well...he certainly could figure out what had Alex so upset that day. "Really? You'd try to end his career?"

Belle shrugged. "Maybe. It wouldn't be unwarranted, with his behavior lately. Unprofessional doesn't even begin to cover it." She paused, shaking her head. "They're my kids. I'm not going to let anyone put it into Mal's head that someone else will be taken away from him, that he's an unfit father. Marcus is old enough to understand things, if Alex said anything like that around him, implied that we don't care about him, it could kill the trust we're trying to build. So yes, if it came down to losing my family or Alex losing his job, I would."

Desmond didn't know anything about courts or child custody or anything else in that ball park. But Desmond didn't get that vibe from the conversations. At least not so much so that Alex was trying to destroy their family. "Job and career aren't the same thing."

"I could wreck his career or his job, and I would do either if he insulted my family again. I've done worse for less, and I tend to be...mellowed out these days, but I don't take it lightly when someone goes after the people I care about." She held her hand out for her phone. "We did nothing to him and he went on the attack because of how we're choosing to navigate a situation he can't know anything about, but that he decided he was the authority on because, what? He almost had a child? It's not a hypothetical for us, and it's none of his business to insult us over."

Desmond didn't see it as an attack. An unwarranted opinion that didn't go over too well, but not an outright attack. He didn't think throwing out the fact that he didn't have a kid was appropriate though. This whole situation was messy though. He ended up shrugging. "Okay." This certainly turned his mood sour. But he didn't want to start a big scale argument, even if he thought Bell was out of line and overreacting on some accounts. "Well, it's over now, yeah?"

Belle: Belle measured her words carefully - she didn't want to insult Desmond, he wasn't a part of all this. He was, in that he was seeing, if not dating, Alex still but he wasn't the one insulting her or her future husband. "I don't particularly want to be around him anymore. Ambivalence is about the best I can do." She paused, considering. "If he comes at my kids or my parenting style again, I won't be ambivalent anymore. Besides that, yes. I suppose it's over."

Desmond nodded slowly, "Well that's fine." He said; ambivalence wasn't so bad and he was sure with the way the conversation had gone Alex wouldn't be too keen on getting involved again. "So are you banning him from your wedding?"

Belle grimaced at that. The problem was that it wasn't just her wedding, and Mal didn't seem so inclined to burn bridges as she was. "If Mal wants him there, he can come." She shook her head. "I've ignored people with less to distract me. As long as he doesn't throw another fit of snapping at my guests, I don't care."

Desmond frowned at her second grimace of their conversation, but he supposed it was only fair. "I'm sure that won't be an issues," he said simply and then opted for a lighter conversation topic. "Do you wanna see Kuroko's in her suit?"

Belle brightened once the subject changed, though she was significantly less present, more guarded and defensive than before. "Of course! You got a little suit for her? That's amazing, I didn't know they made cat suits. Well...not that kind, anyway."

Desmond smiled, though he could feel the shift in her."Yup, they make all kinds of clothes for cats and the like. I wanted to get her a little flowers to go with it too, but I was worried she would try to eat it or something."

"Send my pictures, I'll make sure she gets some lilacs if they're safe for cats." She glanced at her watch, hopping off the table and gathering up her things. "I have a meeting with the new department head. You'll call me if you need anything?"

"Oooh...lilacs would be great." He nodded and sat back, picketing his phone and sighed. "Okay and yeah I will...you just do the same."

Citizen got in contact with Wigglebutt Dog house, a nearby dog treatment amenities, which consented to look after the puppy pro tempore being along with an end goal from rejoining the 2.

He is actually urbane, smart, witty, but often still only a pet dog that poops in the backyard as well as obtains delighted over a squirrel. There has actually not been any kind of verification concerning bone cancer cells and also altering a pet dog just before it develops. A pet dog with a foxtail seed in its ear may massage its own directly the ground or beverage its own chief violently from side to side. I adore my pet dog as well as fear from her in order to get hurt yet simply respond to my review for any sort of signs of help. Bad patches are actually another, and dog rainfall coatings are the perfect solution to maintaining a pet cozy and also dry out. In the event that fever is present along with the mentioned signs, then possibly the canine is actually dealing with flu and must be taken to a vet.

Many dog proprietors perform not discover that their canine has actually been bitten by a crawler up until signs and symptoms occur.

How Far the Brand Holmes Has Come in Air Purification

Holmes Products Corporation, or others call it Holmes Group is a company established and based in Milford, Massachusetts. They initially produced mechanical fans, humidifiers, and air heaters. Eventually they stepped into the air purification industry as one focus.

The company and its first products was founded by Jordan Kahn in 1982. From then on, they gradually improved and now has become a leading brand in air purification.​

Why Purify Your Indoor Air, Again?

Indoor Air is Yucky When Seen Under a Microscope

Dust Mites under the Microscope, in Hi-Def.mov via Jeffrey Miller MD

Dust just pop up on your desks as other pollutants inside your home. Fibers here there and everywhere from carpets, clothes, furniture and anything. When vacuuming your home, it also spits out microscopic debris all around the house.

On top of microscopic dust flying all over the interiors of your home, there are dust mites that feast on them. While eating, they also produce waste. So technically if you have dust in your home, you will have dust poop all over your house.​

With that said, it’s not advisable to believe what you see in your home. When talking about pure breathable air, you should also consider the culprits that can’t be seen with the naked eye.​

If You Think Outside Air is Fresher, Think Again

How dirty is the air outside? via Wayne Riekhof

Just when you thought it’s safer to come outside, outdoor air is actually filled with more dust and pollutants especially in urban areas. If you have trees all around, you don’t have to worry, else, you should turn on your car’s air conditioning unit.

Remember, air pollutants can’t be seen by the naked eye so you should be careful where you would go without any air purification systems to protect you.​

Holmes Aer1® System and Its Advantage

Holmes Aer1® system claims to be the most effective in the market. It combines the power of Holmes® brand air purifiers and the most effective filter technology that is available for the modern times.

The said system is proven to be 30% more effective at trapping air particles and dust from passing thru. It also delivers one of the highest CADR cleaning power among with leading brands.​

All you need to do is have the Aer1 filter regularly replaced and you’re all set. Below are the latest models. Here’s a video about Holmes Aer1 technology:

True HEPA Your Money Can Buy

Its quiet operation and slim design are 1 thing. This premium air purifier can go up to 99.97% of HEPA filtration. On top of that the odors are significantly reduced with the premium carbon odor filter. Airborne bacteria, pollen, molds, dust, pet dander, and cigarette smoke are gone in just a few minutes.

Convenient Settings and Indicators

The speed settings and digital display are found to be very convenient. The timer settings also work great for overnight use. There’s also this filter service indicator that I haven’t used since the unit is quite new. Anyway, it’s great to have it there someday for me to remind on changing filters.

Quiet Operation and Wide Ranged

This filter claims to cater up to 418 square feet. I tried it on a bigger room, opened the doors to the whole house and to my surprise, it really does purify the whole small house. The operation is also quiet which is on of the things I love the most from this air purifier.

I have no issues with this machine so far. With the price I paid for mid-size room purifier, I definitely got what I paid for.​

​Monstrous Range

The HAP756 has some raw power inside. Don’t judge the small build, it has proven to be effective in bigger rooms. Tested it on a 400 square meter house and it acts like a central purifier. The range is quite big so this is a nice must-have for bigger houses.

Arm & Hammer Cleaning Power

The smell of the air is cleansed with Arm & Hammer infused within the filters. I can tell since it absorbs almost anything you can throw at it. Tried smoking within the room and turned the air filter on. The smoke smell was gone in minutes.​

Filter Monitors

The filter monitors are an added bonus. I haven’t tested it yet since it hasn’t gone off. Only used it for a week or so but when time comes I’m pretty sure the filter will need some serious cleanup.​

One drawback, the noise. It has this hissing sound or something when settings are maxed out. It doesn’t bother me but for some it may be a nuisance.​

Bigger is Better

With a range of around 349 square feet, we tried this air purifier on bigger rooms. To my surprise it works just fine. We cranked it to max settings on a 400 square feet living room and it still does good. The air is still pure to feel with your nose and lungs. Not bad at all.

Central Air Purifying Unit

With its large size, we also tested it on a small house with all the rooms open. The result is satisfying, air is fresh to breathe in.

Low Noise

People complain about noise when it comes to air purifiers. It has been a standard that it should be quiet. Well, this one isn’t quiet but isn’t too loud either. It sounds like some machine is cleaning up your air and it is satisfying to hear too.

The only thing I don’t like about this air purifier is that the filters are sort of hard to clean. You would need a strong vacuum and some patience to properly clean it up.​

Aer1 in Action

One of the best filters from Holmes combined with their own air purifiers is one lethal duo, against those nasty air pollutants. I was confident when I set this up on a big room and I wasn’t wrong. It delivers premium purification, or at least that’s what my nose tells me.

Filter Life Monitor

It’s filter life monitor is accurate enough. Tried it in a very dusty room and 3 days later, it prompted. When opened it needed cleaning as alerted.

Easy to Clean Filters

The Aer1 filters are very easy to clean. All you need is some backyard to vacuum or blow away the dust, depends on what style of cleaning you prefer.

This air purifier has low noise operation, some people may not like it but the noise level doesn’t bother me at all. Considering the price, this one is great.​

Known for its mini tower form, this particular air purifier is best for small to mid-sized rooms. It also snugs perfectly on every corner of the room.

Great Indoor Air Cleaner

This purifier certainly works well, most especially for the price. Tried this one out with a dog and the odor just goes away minutes after it starts.

Great with Different Filters

We tried two different filters at once,the total air filter in blue and the odor fighting filter in yellow. This is a good combination to eliminate pet smells. Not just that, the air circulating just feels very clean.

Great Optional Ionizer

The optional ionizer adds to its arsenal of air cleaning methods. Turning it on really does give that extra clean smell in the air. With that feature plus the cheap price, this one is definitely a keeper.

As most air purifiers do, this one tends to get a bit noisy. I am not bothered by it anyway so it’s not an issue when used regularly.

Allergen Away

This Holmes Allergen Remover, like most of its siblings, removes up to 99.97% of allergens. Pollen, mold, pet dander, and even smoke go away in just a few minutes of air cleaning. This one particularly I am fond of because of its dust removal

Odors Away

Arm and Hammer Baking Soda is best for eliminating odors. Holmes has done something smart by incorporating the product into their air purifier. I tried it on cigarette smoke and the odors just simply go away Arm and Hammer style

Convenience

On top of that, this cheap but performing air purifier made it to our top 2 list since despite it being affordable, it still delivers. The speed settings are just there for you to tap on for your own preference.

One drawback about having a cheaper alternative is that it takes a bit of something away. For this one, it is quite noisy when set at higher speeds but not too noisy to disturb whatever it is you are doing.​

Sneeze is Gone

As we tested this on a dusty room, I had a lot of sneezes. But when the air purifier ran for like an hour or so, the itch is gone. This proves to be effective against dust.

Wider Range

Compared to the HAP600-U, this one has a bit of a kick. I tried this as a central air purifier on a 250 square meter room and it works great. The air is still clean to breathe in after a few hours of operation​

Ionizer

Just like its older brother, the 601 still has this awesome ionizer that I like so much. I turn it on everytime I let in my dog for added air cleanup.

As per most air purifiers this one has a bit of a buzz noise but it just sound like the device is trying to clean up your interior air. Not that disturbing, doesn’t bother me at all.​

HEPA filtration Right on Your Desktop

This little device sits on your desktop, filtering the air while you do your stuff. It didn’t bother any work when I tried it while writing this review. The noise level is low enough and is very tolerable. It’s like having a small fan but it purifies air.

Enhanced Arm & Hammer®

The Arm and Hammer inclusion in the filters made the air purifier join our best list. The air smells fresh even when I smoke inside the room.​

Dual Position for Convenience

On top of the awesome features, I like the way this air purifier is designed. It can transform into 2 different positions depending on your desktop preference.​

If you are looking for something that purifies a bigger office then this might not be for you. This one is specifically for those who have smaller home offices.​

Holmes HAP600-U HEPA-Type Egg Air Purifier, Permanent Filter

One of the coolest designs out there. The egg shape is an instant takeaway. They blend well with every setup you have.

Effective HEPA Filtrations

Don’t let the design fool you. Although it looks weak it still is an effective HEPA filter. I tried it on a room and it works fast and the air is clean when you take a deep breath.

Trendy Design

Despite being effective inside, it still delivers that egg-shaped design on the outside. I wonder how the guys at Holmes placed this thing together, it’s elegant yet functional.

Permanent Filtration

Another takeaway is its permanent filtration system. You don’t have to buy extra filters as replacement. You just need your trusty vacuum and some outside cleaning sessions, and you’re good to go.

Because of its small shape you may need to often clean the filter especially for those who have nasty dusty rooms. After 3 to 4 cleaning sessions, I now have a stable cycle of around a month cleaning. That plus regular vacuuming.

Conclusion

There you go, those are our best Holmes air purifiers that we have tested and tool notes upon. If I were to choose, I’d go for the most expensive one. The Holmes® True HEPA™ KDL26M4000 is the way to go, personally.

It might be pricey but we want that premium performance and build. This one has proven worthy of its price. Don’t mind the price if you want the best air purification from Holmes. There are cheaper alternatives if budget is tight so you can always pick one of the other 9 I just reviewed.

My personal choice for the best bang for the buck air purifier would be Holmes True HEPA Air Cleaner HAP726 which also works great with pet dander. Then, if you’re into interior design and are stylish, I would recommend the egg-shaped Holmes HAP601-U.

Please feel free to drop your comments and suggestions. Until then, I wish you good hunting on your own best Holmes air purifier. Here is a video of their product lineup.​

Top 10 Best Holmes Air Purifier Reviews & Buying Guide For 2017

It’s now a norm that we purify our water. We also now prefer organic food and use anti-bacterial cleaning products. It’s about time we clean up our air too. Sad to say, but indoor air has more pollutants compared to outdoor air, in terms of proportions.

It is a known fact that people can shed up to 40,000 dead skin cells every minute. One of the reasons why we need the best air purifiers for our homes. It also means over 50 million skin cells are shed per day inside your very own home.

That only counts one person, if you have housemates or pets, then the more reason to get your house air purified. Also for allergies, certain air cleaners like a HEPA type air purifier Holmes has produced should help you out in getting rid of those nasty airborne allergens.

How Far the Brand Holmes Has Come in Air Purification

Holmes Products Corporation, or others call it Holmes Group is a company established and based in Milford, Massachusetts. They initially produced mechanical fans, humidifiers, and air heaters. Eventually they stepped into the air purification industry as one focus.

The company and its first products was founded by Jordan Kahn in 1982. From then on, they gradually improved and now has become a leading brand in air purification.​

Why Purify Your Indoor Air, Again?

Indoor Air is Yucky When Seen Under a Microscope

Dust Mites under the Microscope, in Hi-Def.mov via Jeffrey Miller MD

Dust just pop up on your desks as other pollutants inside your home. Fibers here there and everywhere from carpets, clothes, furniture and anything. When vacuuming your home, it also spits out microscopic debris all around the house.

On top of microscopic dust flying all over the interiors of your home, there are dust mites that feast on them. While eating, they also produce waste. So technically if you have dust in your home, you will have dust poop all over your house.​

With that said, it’s not advisable to believe what you see in your home. When talking about pure breathable air, you should also consider the culprits that can’t be seen with the naked eye.​

If You Think Outside Air is Fresher, Think Again

How dirty is the air outside? via Wayne Riekhof

Just when you thought it’s safer to come outside, outdoor air is actually filled with more dust and pollutants especially in urban areas. If you have trees all around, you don’t have to worry, else, you should turn on your car’s air conditioning unit.

Remember, air pollutants can’t be seen by the naked eye so you should be careful where you would go without any air purification systems to protect you.​

Holmes Aer1® System and Its Advantage

Holmes Aer1® system claims to be the most effective in the market. It combines the power of Holmes® brand air purifiers and the most effective filter technology that is available for the modern times.

The said system is proven to be 30% more effective at trapping air particles and dust from passing thru. It also delivers one of the highest CADR cleaning power among with leading brands.​

All you need to do is have the Aer1 filter regularly replaced and you’re all set. Below are the latest models. Here’s a video about Holmes Aer1 technology:

True HEPA Your Money Can Buy

Its quiet operation and slim design are 1 thing. This premium air purifier can go up to 99.97% of HEPA filtration. On top of that the odors are significantly reduced with the premium carbon odor filter. Airborne bacteria, pollen, molds, dust, pet dander, and cigarette smoke are gone in just a few minutes.

Convenient Settings and Indicators

The speed settings and digital display are found to be very convenient. The timer settings also work great for overnight use. There’s also this filter service indicator that I haven’t used since the unit is quite new. Anyway, it’s great to have it there someday for me to remind on changing filters.

Quiet Operation and Wide Ranged

This filter claims to cater up to 418 square feet. I tried it on a bigger room, opened the doors to the whole house and to my surprise, it really does purify the whole small house. The operation is also quiet which is on of the things I love the most from this air purifier.

I have no issues with this machine so far. With the price I paid for mid-size room purifier, I definitely got what I paid for.​

Holmes True HEPA Air Cleaner HAP756 - Awesome Filtration

Holmes True HEPA Air Cleaner and Odor Eliminator with Digital Display for Large Spaces, HAP756

This one is last but certainly not the least on our top 10 list. The awesome filtration is brought to you by their Aer1 technology.

​Monstrous Range

The HAP756 has some raw power inside. Don’t judge the small build, it has proven to be effective in bigger rooms. Tested it on a 400 square meter house and it acts like a central purifier. The range is quite big so this is a nice must-have for bigger houses.

Arm & Hammer Cleaning Power

The smell of the air is cleansed with Arm & Hammer infused within the filters. I can tell since it absorbs almost anything you can throw at it. Tried smoking within the room and turned the air filter on. The smoke smell was gone in minutes.​

Filter Monitors

The filter monitors are an added bonus. I haven’t tested it yet since it hasn’t gone off. Only used it for a week or so but when time comes I’m pretty sure the filter will need some serious cleanup.​

One drawback, the noise. It has this hissing sound or something when settings are maxed out. It doesn’t bother me but for some it may be a nuisance.​

Holmes True HEPA HAP8650B-U - Bigger is Better

Holmes True HEPA Air Cleaning Allergen Remover for Large Rooms, HAP8650B-U

There are a wide range of room sizes. This particular model works great sub 350 square feet. If you have a bigger room, get something else.

Holmes True HEPA Air Cleaning Allergen Remover for Large Rooms, HAP8650B-U via Amazon

Bigger is Better

With a range of around 349 square feet, we tried this air purifier on bigger rooms. To my surprise it works just fine. We cranked it to max settings on a 400 square feet living room and it still does good. The air is still pure to feel with your nose and lungs. Not bad at all.

Central Air Purifying Unit

With its large size, we also tested it on a small house with all the rooms open. The result is satisfying, air is fresh to breathe in.

Low Noise

People complain about noise when it comes to air purifiers. It has been a standard that it should be quiet. Well, this one isn’t quiet but isn’t too loud either. It sounds like some machine is cleaning up your air and it is satisfying to hear too.

The only thing I don’t like about this air purifier is that the filters are sort of hard to clean. You would need a strong vacuum and some patience to properly clean it up.​

Aer1 in Action

One of the best filters from Holmes combined with their own air purifiers is one lethal duo, against those nasty air pollutants. I was confident when I set this up on a big room and I wasn’t wrong. It delivers premium purification, or at least that’s what my nose tells me.

Filter Life Monitor

It’s filter life monitor is accurate enough. Tried it in a very dusty room and 3 days later, it prompted. When opened it needed cleaning as alerted.

Easy to Clean Filters

The Aer1 filters are very easy to clean. All you need is some backyard to vacuum or blow away the dust, depends on what style of cleaning you prefer.

This air purifier has low noise operation, some people may not like it but the noise level doesn’t bother me at all. Considering the price, this one is great.​

Holmes HAP424-U - An Efficient Tower Purifier

Holmes HEPA Type Tower Air Purifier, HAP424-U

Known for its mini tower form, this particular air purifier is best for small to mid-sized rooms. It also snugs perfectly on every corner of the room.

Great Indoor Air Cleaner

This purifier certainly works well, most especially for the price. Tried this one out with a dog and the odor just goes away minutes after it starts.

Great with Different Filters

We tried two different filters at once,the total air filter in blue and the odor fighting filter in yellow. This is a good combination to eliminate pet smells. Not just that, the air circulating just feels very clean.

Great Optional Ionizer

The optional ionizer adds to its arsenal of air cleaning methods. Turning it on really does give that extra clean smell in the air. With that feature plus the cheap price, this one is definitely a keeper.

As most air purifiers do, this one tends to get a bit noisy. I am not bothered by it anyway so it’s not an issue when used regularly.

Allergen Away

This Holmes Allergen Remover, like most of its siblings, removes up to 99.97% of allergens. Pollen, mold, pet dander, and even smoke go away in just a few minutes of air cleaning. This one particularly I am fond of because of its dust removal

Odors Away

Arm and Hammer Baking Soda is best for eliminating odors. Holmes has done something smart by incorporating the product into their air purifier. I tried it on cigarette smoke and the odors just simply go away Arm and Hammer style

Convenience

On top of that, this cheap but performing air purifier made it to our top 2 list since despite it being affordable, it still delivers. The speed settings are just there for you to tap on for your own preference.

One drawback about having a cheaper alternative is that it takes a bit of something away. For this one, it is quite noisy when set at higher speeds but not too noisy to disturb whatever it is you are doing.​

Sneeze is Gone

As we tested this on a dusty room, I had a lot of sneezes. But when the air purifier ran for like an hour or so, the itch is gone. This proves to be effective against dust.

Wider Range

Compared to the HAP600-U, this one has a bit of a kick. I tried this as a central air purifier on a 250 square meter room and it works great. The air is still clean to breathe in after a few hours of operation​

Ionizer

Just like its older brother, the 601 still has this awesome ionizer that I like so much. I turn it on everytime I let in my dog for added air cleanup.

As per most air purifiers this one has a bit of a buzz noise but it just sound like the device is trying to clean up your interior air. Not that disturbing, doesn’t bother me at all.​

HEPA filtration Right on Your Desktop

This little device sits on your desktop, filtering the air while you do your stuff. It didn’t bother any work when I tried it while writing this review. The noise level is low enough and is very tolerable. It’s like having a small fan but it purifies air.

Enhanced Arm & Hammer®

The Arm and Hammer inclusion in the filters made the air purifier join our best list. The air smells fresh even when I smoke inside the room.​

Dual Position for Convenience

On top of the awesome features, I like the way this air purifier is designed. It can transform into 2 different positions depending on your desktop preference.​

If you are looking for something that purifies a bigger office then this might not be for you. This one is specifically for those who have smaller home offices.​

On top of that the odors are significantly reduced with the premium carbon odor filter. Airborne bacteria, pollen, molds, dust, pet dander, and cigarette smoke are gone in just a few minutes.

Convenient Settings and Indicators

The speed settings and digital display are found to be very convenient. The timer settings also work great for overnight use. There’s also this filter service indicator that I haven’t used since the unit is quite new. Anyway, it’s great to have it there someday for me to remind on changing filters.

Quiet Operation and Wide Ranged

This filter claims to cater up to 418 square feet. I tried it on a bigger room, opened the doors to the whole house and to my surprise, it really does purify the whole small house. The operation is also quiet which is on of the things I love the most from this air purifier.

I have no issues with this machine so far. With the price I paid for mid-size room purifier, I definitely got what I paid for.​

​Monstrous Range

The HAP756 has some raw power inside. Don’t judge the small build, it has proven to be effective in bigger rooms. Tested it on a 400 square meter house and it acts like a central purifier. The range is quite big so this is a nice must-have for bigger houses.

Arm & Hammer Cleaning Power

The smell of the air is cleansed with Arm & Hammer infused within the filters. I can tell since it absorbs almost anything you can throw at it. Tried smoking within the room and turned the air filter on. The smoke smell was gone in minutes.​

Filter Monitors

The filter monitors are an added bonus. I haven’t tested it yet since it hasn’t gone off. Only used it for a week or so but when time comes I’m pretty sure the filter will need some serious cleanup.​

One drawback, the noise. It has this hissing sound or something when settings are maxed out. It doesn’t bother me but for some it may be a nuisance.​

Holmes True HEPA HAP8650B-U - Bigger is Better

Holmes True HEPA Air Cleaning Allergen Remover for Large Rooms, HAP8650B-U

There are a wide range of room sizes. This particular model works great sub 350 square feet. If you have a bigger room, get something else.

Bigger is Better

With a range of around 349 square feet, we tried this air purifier on bigger rooms. To my surprise it works just fine. We cranked it to max settings on a 400 square feet living room and it still does good. The air is still pure to feel with your nose and lungs. Not bad at all.

Central Air Purifying Unit

With its large size, we also tested it on a small house with all the rooms open. The result is satisfying, air is fresh to breathe in.

Low Noise

People complain about noise when it comes to air purifiers. It has been a standard that it should be quiet. Well, this one isn’t quiet but isn’t too loud either. It sounds like some machine is cleaning up your air and it is satisfying to hear too.

The only thing I don’t like about this air purifier is that the filters are sort of hard to clean. You would need a strong vacuum and some patience to properly clean it up.​

Aer1 in Action

One of the best filters from Holmes combined with their own air purifiers is one lethal duo, against those nasty air pollutants. I was confident when I set this up on a big room and I wasn’t wrong. It delivers premium purification, or at least that’s what my nose tells me.

Filter Life Monitor

It’s filter life monitor is accurate enough. Tried it in a very dusty room and 3 days later, it prompted. When opened it needed cleaning as alerted.

Easy to Clean Filters

The Aer1 filters are very easy to clean. All you need is some backyard to vacuum or blow away the dust, depends on what style of cleaning you prefer.

This air purifier has low noise operation, some people may not like it but the noise level doesn’t bother me at all. Considering the price, this one is great.​

Holmes HAP424-U - An Efficient Tower Purifier

Holmes HEPA Type Tower Air Purifier, HAP424-U

Known for its mini tower form, this particular air purifier is best for small to mid-sized rooms. It also snugs perfectly on every corner of the room.

Great Indoor Air Cleaner

This purifier certainly works well, most especially for the price. Tried this one out with a dog and the odor just goes away minutes after it starts.

Great with Different Filters

We tried two different filters at once,the total air filter in blue and the odor fighting filter in yellow. This is a good combination to eliminate pet smells. Not just that, the air circulating just feels very clean.

Great Optional Ionizer

The optional ionizer adds to its arsenal of air cleaning methods. Turning it on really does give that extra clean smell in the air. With that feature plus the cheap price, this one is definitely a keeper.

As most air purifiers do, this one tends to get a bit noisy. I am not bothered by it anyway so it’s not an issue when used regularly.

Allergen Away

This Holmes Allergen Remover, like most of its siblings, removes up to 99.97% of allergens. Pollen, mold, pet dander, and even smoke go away in just a few minutes of air cleaning. This one particularly I am fond of because of its dust removal

Odors Away

Arm and Hammer Baking Soda is best for eliminating odors. Holmes has done something smart by incorporating the product into their air purifier. I tried it on cigarette smoke and the odors just simply go away Arm and Hammer style

Convenience

On top of that, this cheap but performing air purifier made it to our top 2 list since despite it being affordable, it still delivers. The speed settings are just there for you to tap on for your own preference.

One drawback about having a cheaper alternative is that it takes a bit of something away. For this one, it is quite noisy when set at higher speeds but not too noisy to disturb whatever it is you are doing.​

Holmes HAP601-U Egg Air Purifier with Permanent HEPA Type Filter

The HAP601-U is as awesome as its older brother HAP600-U. This one’s got a bit more bells and whistles. One advantage is the range.

Sneeze is Gone

As we tested this on a dusty room, I had a lot of sneezes. But when the air purifier ran for like an hour or so, the itch is gone. This proves to be effective against dust.

Wider Range

Compared to the HAP600-U, this one has a bit of a kick. I tried this as a central air purifier on a 250 square meter room and it works great. The air is still clean to breathe in after a few hours of operation​

Ionizer

Just like its older brother, the 601 still has this awesome ionizer that I like so much. I turn it on everytime I let in my dog for added air cleanup.

As per most air purifiers this one has a bit of a buzz noise but it just sound like the device is trying to clean up your interior air. Not that disturbing, doesn’t bother me at all.​

HEPA filtration Right on Your Desktop

This little device sits on your desktop, filtering the air while you do your stuff. It didn’t bother any work when I tried it while writing this review. The noise level is low enough and is very tolerable. It’s like having a small fan but it purifies air.

Enhanced Arm & Hammer®

The Arm and Hammer inclusion in the filters made the air purifier join our best list. The air smells fresh even when I smoke inside the room.​

Dual Position for Convenience

On top of the awesome features, I like the way this air purifier is designed. It can transform into 2 different positions depending on your desktop preference.​

If you are looking for something that purifies a bigger office then this might not be for you. This one is specifically for those who have smaller home offices.​

One of the coolest designs out there. The egg shape is an instant takeaway. They blend well with every setup you have.

Effective HEPA Filtrations

Don’t let the design fool you. Although it looks weak it still is an effective HEPA filter. I tried it on a room and it works fast and the air is clean when you take a deep breath.

Trendy Design

Despite being effective inside, it still delivers that egg-shaped design on the outside. I wonder how the guys at Holmes placed this thing together, it’s elegant yet functional.

Permanent Filtration

Another takeaway is its permanent filtration system. You don’t have to buy extra filters as replacement. You just need your trusty vacuum and some outside cleaning sessions, and you’re good to go.

Because of its small shape you may need to often clean the filter especially for those who have nasty dusty rooms. After 3 to 4 cleaning sessions, I now have a stable cycle of around a month cleaning. That plus regular vacuuming.

Conclusion

There you go, those are our best Holmes air purifiers that we have tested and tool notes upon. If I were to choose, I’d go for the most expensive one. The Holmes® True HEPA™ KDL26M4000 is the way to go, personally.

It might be pricey but we want that premium performance and build. This one has proven worthy of its price. Don’t mind the price if you want the best air purification from Holmes. There are cheaper alternatives if budget is tight so you can always pick one of the other 9 I just reviewed.

My personal choice for the best bang for the buck air purifier would be Holmes True HEPA Air Cleaner HAP726 which also works great with pet dander. Then, if you’re into interior design and are stylish, I would recommend the egg-shaped Holmes HAP601-U.

Please feel free to drop your comments and suggestions. Until then, I wish you good hunting on your own best Holmes air purifier. Here is a video of their product lineup.​
