Work Text:
Abel was the first one who had truly had any taste of just how strong and sturdy you were. When his leg had messed up and you allowed him to lean on you; it came to light. He tried his best not to lean his full weight against you; not wanting to apply too much pressure on you. However, you had noticed because Abel would flinch as he tried to lean on his hurt leg and you pursed your lips into a frown and pulled him to lean on you properly as you both waited for Tony to show up.
“I told you to lean on me, Abel; so lean. ” Your voice was soft and stern and it left the poor table a blushing and stuttering mess as he leaned against you properly and was pleasantly surprised to see you hold him…like it was nothing.
“T-thank ya kindly..” Abel mumbled and you had simply waved him off with that bright smile of yours, unaware of just how Abel felt after you displayed such a thing to him.
“Oh for fuck sake!” You could hear Bobby Pinn’s cries come from the office and you walked in; seeing them jumping as they tried to get something off the shelf before they gave up; stomping their food in a huff as they crossed their arms over their chest. You walked over and smiled.
“Here, let me help.” Before Bobby really understood what was happening, you bent down slightly and wrapped your arms around their thighs and placed your shoulder into the hinges of their knees so they sat on your shoulder as you lifted them up.
Bobby’s face lit up in a dark blush as you had lifted them so effortlessly; stuttering as they finally grabbed whatever it was off the shelf before you set them back down. They wouldn’t meet your eyes.
“Yeah, thanks uh- I gotta go.” You shrugged as they said a fleeting goodbye; needing to talk to someone about what the fuck you just did.
It didn’t take long for another rumour to start floating around the house about you again. It seemed to be happening a lot recently. You had been minding your own business when Scandalabra approached you in the dining area.
“You!” He shrieked as he placed a hand on his chest and pointed at you with another; you had just been mid bite of your juicy red apple before you raised your eyebrow at the flamboyant candle and you took a bite of the fruit; chewing slowly before swallowing.
“Me.” You replied and the candle all but grinned at you.
“Lift me up. I’m trying to uh.. Confirm something.” He grinned and your eyebrows now furrowed, full of confusement. You placed your apple on the table as Scanadalabra had your full attention; you debated on asking him what for but you decided you didn’t want to deal with the long explanation. So you stood from your chair and he turned his back to you; still confused you grabbed his waist in a stern and firm grip before you lifted him; like he was nothing. Scandalabra didn’t believe the rumours but now with a pink face he asked to be put down and you obliged him.
“Y-Yep! Just wanted to confirm my candles are still on top of Freddy. Ta-ta!” Leaving you very confused but you said nothing and went back to eating your apple.
Tony was next in line to see your strength as you decided you wanted to build a gazebo in your back garden and you couldn’t do it without your trust tool box now could you? Tony watched the way your gloved hand would grab a wooden beam and easily hike it up onto your shoulder as you walked; bicep bulging. The summer sun makes your body glisten with sweat. He needed a glass of water.
“Y-ya sure it ain’t too much, dollface?” Tony laughed trying to cool himself down from your display and you stopped, turning to look at him with the wooden beam on your shoulder and he almost disintegrated on the spot as you said.
“Just keep standing there, looking pretty.” You were out to kill him.
“HUMAN! I DEMAND AN ARM WRESTLE TO THE DEATH! A BATTLE FILLED WITH GLORIOUS VIOLENCE!” Kristof’s voice shouted as you walked into your home gym and you couldn’t help but smile at him. He sure was something. You dropped your bag to the floor and nodded.
“Yeah, I’d be down for a fun arm wrestle game.” You replied before you asked Abel in the upstairs hallway if you could use him and he greatly obliged. With the table now in the gym, you on one side and Kristof on the other you placed your arms on the table. The rest of the gym, Stepford, Dunk and Fantina watching in earnest.
You both locked hands and Dunk counted down. It was pretty even; Kristof straining and you straining; but it seemed you had a lot more stamina than Kristof did because his hand was soon overpowered by yours and touched the table. There was silence at your victory, you had actually…beaten Kristof? Holy fuck…
“Very good, human.. You’ve pleased me.” Kristof smirked a light dust blushing his face and you waved him off.
“Dorian? Didn’t I already unlock you with Keith? Can you move please? I have to help Artt with some pictures.” You are trying to get into the attic but a certain British door was blocking your face with a cheeky sort of smirk, Keith had stood off behind you sitting on Abel as this exchange happened with a glint in his eyes.
“Sorry love, no can do today.” He replied smoothly and you pinched the bridge of your nose, humming.
“If you don’t move, I’ll move you myself.” Dorian seemed to stiffen slightly at those words before he let out a cocky smile.
“I’d like to see ya try.” Your eyebrow twitched as you took a step forward and grabbed his arm; in one smooth motion you fireman lifted Dorian over your shoulder who gave out a yell of surprise while Keith laughed boisterously behind you. You spun and gave Keith a glare as Dorian sat on your shoulder before you set the flustered door down.
“There. Now excuse me, gentlemen.” You didn’t give them a second look as you entered the attic.
“Smooth, Dorian.” Keith purred and Dorian simply just huffed at him, trying to fix himself.
“Humaaannn~” You heard Lux before you saw them; the bright lightbulb jumped into your arms and you caught them easily.
Oh wow, you really were strong. The blonde smiled at you as their arms were wrapped around your neck as you held them bridal style with a look of pure surprise on your face and it was definitely worth your reaction. Lux smirked, patting your face with their soft hands.
“They were right, you are strong, that's kinda like…hot.. Okay byeee~” Lux jumped out of your hands and disappeared.
What The Fuck?
