Love Trope February! Destined to be Together: Rain x Dewdrop

When Rain was first summoned, Dew had been assisting after he had been forcefully changed from Water to Fire and then they have the gaul to replace him with some tall twink (we ignore Sodo is in fact a twink) Rain tries to be nice to him, he feels a bond with the Gremlin and Sodo does too but he pushes away because he’s scared of the feeling. Sodo basically avoids Rain at all costs except for when he can’t like at practise and on tour. One day Rain corners him on the tour bus, he was tired of Sodo avoiding him for no reason when he knows he can feel the mate bond. What happens next?

Welcome back to the angst! Feel free to sob when you first start reading but it gets better, it's not too bad but Dew has intense feelings and they made me sad, no TWs in this once only implied smut at the end and some making out!

This one made me happy, but I had started it at midnight cause I spent 3 hours doing English homework and taking a test, so we dead.

The transformation forced onto Dew basically forced his Water side away almost completely, he only has retained a small bite in traits and he can still slightly control water if he really focuses.

Also Ifrit went back to the Pit in this fic, not for all, why? I don't know, Whiskey is tired and Whiskey wants bed

-Love Whiskey

When Sister Imperator had announced that they were summoning another Water ghoul tp replace Dewdrop, he was understandably pissed right the fuck off, “How fucking dare they? I am still right here, right after they forced me through that fucking ritual!” Dew snarls, pacing through the commons. Aether sighs as he watches his friend rant about how pissed off he is and how he’s gonna rip Nihil a new asshole when suddenly Mountain comes through the door.

“They said they want us to report to the summoning room within the next hour. They want to summon the new Water ghoul as soon as possible,” he says, glancing between the Quintessence and newly transformed Fire ghoul, he and Aether had taken it horribly when they learned that the Clergy had essentially kidnapped the little ghoul and forced Dew to basically reduce his Waterside to almost gone. When they learned about what had happened, Alpha and Omega were forced to lock the pair in one of the cells beneath the church that was typically reserved for feral newly summoned ghouls who haven’t had a chance to acclimate to the surface, otherwise, Sister and Nihil probably would have been torn to shred for hurting their packmate.

Dew huffs a big cloud of steam from his nose and his former gills; the vapor floats above his head before slowly disappearing. “Why the fuck do they need me? Why not have Alpha, an actual fucking Fire ghoul.” he snarls, crossing his arms, “They said that since your Water has been suppressed…you’re Fire is now strong enough to participate in a summoning.” Mountain says slowly, carefully approaching the angry Fire ghoul, “Oh, so they think because they forced a change on me that I’d be fucking willing to help them summon my replacement?!” Dew screams, steam now leaking from the slits of the former gills, “Calm down, Droplet, you know you can’t argue with Sister Imperator unless you want to be sent back, come here.” Aether says, beckoning the smaller male to come sit in his lap. “Fuck you, and I am perfectly calm.” Dew hisses, and Mountain sighs as he scoops up the hissing ghoul and carries him over to the couch, setting him in the largely built ghoul's lap, who quickly wraps his arms around the smaller to prevent him from squirming away as both he and Mountain fill him with calming energy.

It doesn’t take long for the fight to leave Dewdrop, slumping against Aether as tears take over for the anger. “Why do they have to do it today..it hasn’t even been a week since I recovered…” he sniffles, tears dripping down his face. Mountain and Aether feel their hearts break, “Oh, Little Comet, we’re not happy about it either. As much as we’d love to have another pack member, you’re still not completely healed, and we aren’t ready to welcome another ghoul in yet.” Aether says softly, rocking the little ghoul in his arms, “I tried to reason with Sister by telling her that, but she just said that you would be fine, that we need to get another Water ghoul so we can have a bassist.” Mountain adds, holding a Dew's hand. “I just…their replacing me so fucking easily; you guys will probably forget about me since you’re going to have a new Water Lily..” Dew whispers, choking down a sob as he admits the thing that has been bugging him the most.

The two larger ghouls gasp lightly, looking at one another in shock before back at the crying male; Aether’s arm subconsciously tightens around him as Mountain kneels in front of the pair, “Dewdrop, look at me.” he says softly, gently coaxing the little ghoul to look at him as he grabs both of his hands, watery two-toned eyes meeting green, “We will never forget about you, you’re still our little Spitfire and you may not have as much Water anymore, but that doesn’t change the fact that you were our first Water Lily, we might not even call them that anyways.” Mountain says, pressing a kiss to the bruised knuckles, Dew had been punching the walls of his room before Aether had found him and drug him to the common room. “You’re our little Gremlin no matter which element is strongest.” Aether whispers, pressing a kiss to his shoulder, “We will never forget you, we love you, Dew, so fucking much.” he finishes.

Dew can’t help the sob that escapes his throat, tugging his hands from Mountain’s to cling to the Earth ghoul's uniform button-up, burying his face into his shoulder as he cries. The gentle giant simply wraps his arms around the ghoul, who feels somehow impossibly tiny, pressed between him and Aether, who follows suit and tightens his hold on Dew. They sit there for a long time, gently soothing the Fire ghoul until there is a knock on the door, Copia pokes his head in. They may not know the awkward Cardinal much, but they learned quickly that he truly was a kind soul, he had been furious when he learned what had happened with Dewdrop, even going as far as to scream at Sister Imperator for “How dare you to change one of my ghouls without my permission!”, this had earned the respect of the remaining band members, especially of the little now turned Fire ghoul who had surprised the Cardinal with a hug, to be fair he was slightly loopy on pain drugs but it was still a hug.

“Hello mio tesoros, it is time. I am truly sorry, Dewdrop. I’m sure Mountain told you how he tried to reason with Sister, I did as well, but she is insistent. If you wish, I can ask Alpha to participate instead.” he offers, wringing his hands nervously. “Th-” Dew cuts off Aether, “I’ll be okay. I wanna see who is gonna take over for me, gotta see if they’re gonna be good enough,” he says, a smirk on his face despite the tear tracks and red-rimmed eyes. Copia’s eyes soften at the sight, “Oh course, mio dolce ragazzo, I just thought to extend the offer. Now come along boys, we must welcome your new band member.” he says, smiling at the ghouls. Mountain stands and offers a hand to Dew, who takes it, tugging him from Aether who follows the pair as they leave the ghoul den.

The Summoning room is near the chapel where they hold Mass, about a 5-minute walk from the dens. The ghouls quietly make their way with Copia, Dew subtly hanging behind a bit to be able to hold Aether’s tail with his. Once they reach the door that leads to the small chamber, Copia holds the door open to allow the ghouls to enter first. Inside are Sister, Papa Primo, as he is the best when it comes to summonings, along with Mist and Zephyr, “Finally, I was about to send Omega to come to retrieve you, ghouls.” Sister tuts, a glare directed at the 4 newly joined members, “Apologies, Sister, we got caught up.” Mountain says, it’s not a lie, but Sister clicks her tongue, “Papa, are we ready to begin now.” she asks, Primo nods, “Yes, ghouls, please stand around in your spots, Dewdrop by Mountain, please.” he directs, the tallest ghoul shows the smaller where to stand around the chalked circle. Dew looks up at the Earth ghoul, who gives him a reassuring smile, ‘It’s going to be okay, this is the easiest type of summoning, and we don’t have to really do anything but stand here. Aether and Mist will take care of the Water ghoul.’ Mountain says in his mind through the link. Dew nods. Clenching his fists as Primo begins to chant.

Dew has never taken part in a summoning, only heard stories from Aether and Mountain, who had been there for him and a few others, usually Alpha stands in for the Fire element or Ifrit before he is sent back. Hence, as the circle begins to glow as Primo continues chanting, his eyes widen. He feels his hands heat up slightly, and he spots the other’s eyes glowing through their masks, Mountain said they don’t do anything, but it seems that the ritual uses their elements to aid in the summoning. Mist’s eyes are glowing so brightly that it almost lights up the room, possibly because they’re summoning a Water ghoul.

After a few more minutes, a lanky, thin body suddenly materializes into view. The smell of Petrichor, Summer Thunderstorms, Lotus, and Morning Dew fills Dew’s nose, it makes him feel dizzy but not enough to knock him off his feet, for some reason, just the smell of this new ghoul makes all of the anxiety and stress he had been feeling fade from his body. There is a low groan from the body in the middle of the circle; Aether and Mist slowly approach, the latter holding a thin blanket to cover the ghoul’s body until they can get them clothed. But before they can get too close, the ghoul’s eyes seem to focus on the two approaching figures, and they whimper, scrambling backward on shaky limbs. Their head whips around trying to find an escape when suddenly sharp sapphire meets burning magma and piercing ice, and it feels like something snaps into place. A knot forms in Dew’s belly, and all of sudden, all he can think of is protecting this new ghoul, who whimpers and scurries to the Fire ghoul, hiding behind him. Mountain stumbles back as the ghoul darts past him, partially because they scare him and also because he can tell they’re heading toward the hybrid.

Dew freezes when cold hands cling to his tail; everyone is staring at him, “D..do you know him, Dewdrop?” Mist asks; even though you can’t see her mouth, it’s clear it’s hanging open, “N…no, I’ve never seen him before.” Dew stammers, “Well, he seems to trust you for some reason. Can you please cover him and help Aether so he can check him.” Sister huffs, clearly pissed that the newly summoned ghoul seems to be so attached to the hot-headed hybrid as she turns and leaves, Primo and Copia following suit; the Cardinal will officially meet the new ghoul later. “Yes, Sister.” Dew mutters before carefully turning so he doesn’t startle the still frightened ghoul; kneeling down so their level and despite how he promised himself that he’d avoid this new ghoul at all costs, he speaks softly and calmly, “Hey, I’m Dewdrop, what’s your name huh?” he asks, the other ghoul is still clinging to his tail, big blue eyes staring up at him, “M..my name is Ra..Rain..” he stutters slightly, eyes darting behind Dew where he’s sure the other’s are hovering, though a few feet back, “These guys aren’t gonna hurt you, they just wanna make sure you’re okay.” he says, trying to soothe the shaking ghoul, who with a quick glance down, confirms that he is indeed a he, or at least appears to be. “The big guy is named Aether; he’s a Quintessence ghoul, he just wants to make sure you’re not injured or anything from the summoning or from the Pit.” he says as he beckons Aether to come closer.

Rain stares at the large male, fear in his eyes, but he seems to trust Dew enough that he believes he won’t hurt him, “Hi, I’m Aether, is it okay if I check you with my magick, please, I won’t touch you, and it might feel a little weird if you’re not used to Quintessence, but it won’t hurt.” he says as he crouches next to Dew, Rain’s eyes flick between the pair before nodding. Aether quickly scans him with his magic, seemingly healing a few cuts and scrapes from when he had been trying to scramble away, but other than that, he’s fine. Mist hands the blanket to Dew, who wraps it around the lithe ghoul, “It’s to keep you warm and covered till we get some clothes on you.” he mutters, wanting to get away from the ghoul so he can try and escape the weird feeling that’s filled his chest and belly.

As soon as Rain gets to his feet and seems to trust Aether enough to hold onto, Dew darts away, running out the door and back to his room. Throwing open the door and clamoring onto his bed, burying his face in the pillows and letting out a muffled yell, “What the actual fuck?!” he screams, punching the pillow. As much as he hated it, the feeling of being away from the new Water ghoul had made his stomach tie into a knot, and it felt like.. there was a part of him missing. After a few minutes, there’s a sudden knock on his door, but he doesn’t bother to answer, hoping whoever it is will go away, but the door opens anyway. “Dude, what the fuck? Why did you run like that?” Mountain asks, ducking under the threshold and coming to stand in the middle of the room, “I..I don’t fucking know man, it was too overwhelming, I don’t know what it is about that Water ghoul, but he’s got my fucking chest and stomach feeling all weird.” Dew says, muffled by the pillow his face is pressed against. Mountain is shocked, but now everything made sense, the way Rain had seemed to immediately trust Dew enough to hide behind him, the way Dew was immediately so soft with him, and the way Dew just described feeling; ‘Their fucking destined mates…’ he thinks, he internally groans as he sits next to the Fire ghoul, he knows it's too soon to tell Dew otherwise he’ll freak out, but they have to know soon or they’ll get sick.

“Dew, look at me please.” Mountain asks, smoothing a hand through silvery strands of hair. Dew stays still for a moment but begrudgingly rolls onto his side to look up at the Earth ghoul, “Rain seemed really upset with the way you ran, I don’t know what is going on with you two, but you need to say you’re sorry.” he states, giving the ghoul a look when he sneers. “I really don’t want to be near that little Water nymph anytime soon.” Dew snarks, Mountain growls, tugging his ear and earning a yelp from the hybrid, “Do not call him that; you’ll apologize and be civil with him, or you’ll not like what I do.” he says, tone deadly serious. Even though he hasn’t known the Water ghoul long, Earth and Water tend to go together like, well mud, an elemental match typically, and Mountain already feels protective over the new lanky ghoul. Dew gives a half-hearted snarl, but the serious look on the Earth ghoul's face makes it drop, “Fine, I’ll say sorry.” he mutters, “You can go back to him now, I’m sure you can’t wait to be with your new Water Lily.” Dew mumbles the last part, but Mountain still hears it.

Despite being a little irked at the hybrid's behavior, the words make his heartache, despite what had happened between the two in the summoning room, Dew’s earlier feelings are still prominent. With a sigh, he picks up the lithe male, who yelps, before laying down on the soft sheets and curling around him, “No, Aether and Mist are with him. I wanted to make sure you were okay, my Heliconia, I promised I would still look after you didn’t I?” he whispers into Dew’s ear, nipping at the pointed tip, earning a whimper. Mountain wraps his long arms around his packmate, who leans back into him.

The next day Dew apologizes to Rain, who had smiled brightly when he noticed the Fire ghoul approaching and accepted, saying he understood that it had been an awkward situation. But after that, Dew avoided the Water ghoul like he was the plague, only staying in the same room as him whenever they had practice and during meals. Despite the other two ghouls trying to make them talk, it was to no avail, the longest time they spent together besides during practice is when they summoned two new Air ghoulettes and a Multi named Swiss. Besides that, Dew was always quick to slip out of a room whenever Rain entered, this both made the Water ghoul sad and irritated the shit out of him, what the hell did he do? He had been nothing but kind to the hybrid, and yet he’s treated like shit, not to mention, he knows that their fated mates and he knows, or at least he thinks he does, that Dew does too. He has caught the Fire hybrid staring at him with an intense longing in his eyes; he’s even woken up on the couch, not enough to open his eyes yet, with the feeling of lips on his forehead, warm hands smoothing back his dark curls, and surrounded by the ghoul's scent of Burning Wood, Cinnamon, Moonshine Cherries, and just the slightest hint of the ocean, salty and like home.

Now they had been on tour for the last 2 weeks, Dew could not avoid Rain, but he did it the best he could, zooming off the bus whenever possible, hanging out with Swiss post Rituals, always coming back to the bus reeking of weed and booze, and simply staying in his bunk if he notices Rain come out. The Water ghoul had had enough, they had just finished tonight's Ritual, and he had heard Dew say something to Swiss about staying back tonight because he was tired, this was his chance. Declining Mountain and Aether’s offer to come to the bar with the rest of them, he waits until he hears the Fire ghoul leave his dressing room and exit the building before following him. Dew doesn’t seem to notice him as he makes his way onto the bus, Rain waits a minute before also entering.

He can hear the hybrid in the back, probably getting ready for a shower, tossing his mask on the couch, and walking towards the noise. Finding an unglamored and unmasked Dew with his back to him, he takes the chance and stalks toward him. Quickly whirling the smaller ghoul around and pushing him against the wall, hands pinning fragile wrists against the fake wood that houses their duffles and other items. “What the fuck, Rain? Let me the hell go!” Dew snarls, squirming, but the Water ghoul has a surprisingly tight grip, “No, you’re staying here until you tell me what the hell I ever did to you; why the fuck do you avoid me like I fucking killed your dog!” Rain spits, blue eyes staring holes through the smaller male, it makes the feeling from when they had first locked eyes reignite in Dew’s stomach. Trying to look anywhere except the Water ghoul, “I don’t have to tell you anything, let me go, Rain, or you’re going to fucking regret it.” he hisses, trying to seem tough and make him let go. But the lanky ghoul holds fast, serious expression unchanging.

Eventually, Dew folds, unable to handle those sapphire eyes staring into him any longer, “I..I don’t fucking know, you make this weird feeling happen in my stomach, and I don’t fucking like it or know what it is. I felt it when we first met, and it makes me uncomfortable.” he says, eyes shut tightly to try and avoid the stare. Rain’s face softens, ‘He doesn’t know..’ he thinks, “You really don’t know?” he asks softly, grip loosening slightly. Dew shakes his head, eyes still closed. “Do you know what destined mates are?” Rain asks, again with another shake of his head, the Water ghoul sighs, “Destined mates are basically ghoul soulmates, we were made for each other by Lord Lucifer.” he explains, “And we are each other’s destined mates.” he says.

Two-toned eyes shoot open, mouth gaping as he looks up at the taller male, “Ar..are you fucking with me?” he stutters, it’s Rain’s turn to shake his head, “I…this can’t be real..Swiss fucking put you up to this.” he babbles on as he tries to reason with himself. Rain sighs, slipping his hands from Dew’s wrists to his hands, intertwining their fingers, this makes the hybrids mouth snap shut, glancing at their hands, “When I first saw you, I felt safe, at home, and like I found a piece of myself that I didn’t even realize was missing. Did you feel that to Dewdrop?” Rain asks, a serious tone in his voice. Dew stares at him, “I..how the hell did you know that?” he questions, brows furrowing because how the fuck did he know exactly how he felt, there’s no way this is fucking true..is it. “Because we are each other’s missing piece. Every time I see you, I feel like I’m missing a piece of me because you’re not in my arm. Every time you run away, I feel like a chip of my being is being yanked away from me.” Rain explains, “Dew, I know you know it’s true. I see how you look at me when you think I’m not looking; it’s the same way I look at you.” he confesses, a blue flush coming to his cheeks as his confidence is starting to wear off, “Please believe me, I need to have you Dewdrop, I can’t stand watching you run away from me one more time..please…” he begs, eyes filled with desperation.

Dew is staring up at the Water ghoul, and he has described everything he has felt these last few months of knowing him. Every time he runs, it feels like he’s leaving a piece of himself away. The constant longing and the lonely feeling that fills his chest whenever he’s away from Rain. It all makes sense, instead of answering, he leans up on his toes and presses his mouth to the other ghouls. Rain is frozen for a moment, in shock at the soft lips pressed against his own, but he quickly drops Dew’s hands in favor of wrapping one arm around a thin waist and coming to cup his cheek, Dew’s coming up to fist into his shoulder-length hair. The kiss is filled with longing, need, and a hint of teeth, a sharp fang nips at Rain’s lower lip, earning a groan.

The ghouls returned to their tour bus reeking of sex, Petrichor, Cinnamon, and two content ghouls. “They finally fucking did it?!” Swiss gapes, catching sight of a long blue-grey leg dangling from Dew’s bunk, “Guess so, was wondering when they’d finally confess to each other.” Aether agrees, “10 bucks says Rain fucked the Gremlin.” Swiss smirks when suddenly a pillow comes flying from the bunk area, nailing the Multi in the head. The boys turn and see Dew glaring at them, hanging off the side of his bunk, “If you don’t shut the fuck up, I will maul you in your sleep.” he growls. An arm that belongs to the dangling drags the Gremlin back into the bunk, “Shush Dewy, leave them alone.” comes Rain’s muffled voice. “Dewy?” Aether asks, “Only Mountain and Cumulus can call him that without getting their face eaten?” he says, “I mean, it’s his destined mate, I don’t think he minds what he calls him.” Mountain chuckles, “Shut the fuck up, Mount, I will set fire to your greenhouse!” is heard from the back, followed by a sudden loud whine that clearly belonged to the hybrid, “Wanna go to that diner we saw before they fuck again?” Swiss suggests, “Right behind you!” Aether says, Mountain silently following as a string of whimpers and soft moans come from the bunk area.
