Chapter Text
"really? in front of my twinkie?"
you sighed and cuddled the lavender scented plushy closer to your chest. you had gotten it recently as a little gift to yourself. nothing more and nothing less. the moment sonar saw the dark bat sitting in your arms, he immediately pouted.
"did i do something wrong? are you seriously replacing me right now?"
"no, you didn't and i'm not replacing you. you can't get rid of me that easily," you smirked and furrowed your brows. "i just wanted something to cuddle with when you're not here. that's all, vic."
he still didn't believe it, crossing his arms and staring you down from the doorway. "no i see it plain as day. you're replacing me with that…fake bat. i should've known, there was no way you could've handled all of this." he gestured to himself, sticking his nose in the air as he turned his back to you.
you set the plush down and walked over to victor, wrapping your arms around his waist and resting your head against his shoulder.
"no one is replacing you vic, least of all me. as i said, you're not always here and i wanted something to remember you and cuddle," you explained once more. he smelled nice today, as opposed to other days.
usually he'd come home smelling of fire or wet fur, but today he was heavy with cologne.
"don't think of him as competition… maybe more like a mini you?" you tilted your head. "yes, the black bat that smells like lavender is a mini me, how did i not think of that sooner?"
you rolled your eyes, "okay smartass, i'll put him away. for now." you whispered the last bit under your breath, removing yourself from victor and moving to grab the plush. "i heard that!"
"did you though?" you teased, grabbing the plush and stuffing him away in the closet. it felt a little mean putting him there, his bulging eyes staring back into your own. your heart almost ached for the little guy, if not for victor immediately shutting the closet door and leading you to the shared bed.
"now that he's gone.." he said with a small hint of hatred, poor victor jr., "how about we watch that one movie you wanted to see? i'm sure it's on hulu now." he loosened his red tie and slipped out of his suit, throwing the clothing onto a lonesome chair.
you eagerly climbed into bed, waiting for him to finish changing into something a little more comfortable. he soon slipped under the covers, pulling you into his embrace and humming softly when you laid your head against his chest.
"wait.. what was the name of it again?"
