“Y’know it’s not nice to steal sweetheart!” The Prince announced walking into the bank.
Shade snorted, “Isn’t it? I had no idea.”
The Prince took a step into the empty vault where Shade was filling a duffel bag with cash, “Now, now, can’t you be a good boy just this once?”
Instead of the usual snarky reply Shade spun around with his mouth hanging open and a blush dusting his cheekbones. The villain stared for a moment.
The hero’s eyebrows raised automatically and he took a shocked step back at the unexpected response. The Prince opened his mouth to tease when Shade simply tapped away. “He always banters,” Prince mumbled before sighing and heading towards the alley nearby.
The hero walked into the alley only to nearly bump into the Shade, who had just appeared there himself.
“You really should watch where you're going, imagine if you ran into someone who was evil!” The Prince raised an eyebrow and leaned forward as the villain turned the corner into the alley.
Shade jumped and leaned back minutely with a wide eyed glance up at the hero.
He tilted his head to the side, “Now where did your comebacks go? I’ll be honest, I'm sure you could’ve come up with something.” Prince smirked and took a step towards the villain.
Shade tapped his duffel bag into his apartment with a panicked thought, “N-Not everyone h-has the ener-energy to deal w-with you.”
Prince's smirk got even sharper, “Shade, are you tired? Out of breath perhaps?” The hero took two steps forward for every step back of Shade’s, until they were against one of the alleys' walls. “You do know I can’t just let you have all that money Purple Power, I have to take it back.”
Shade slowly moved his hands forward from behind his back, patently ignoring his increasing blush. “What uh- what happened to all that talk of free will?” he asked before shooting his hands forward to push him back.
Prince caught his wrists without looking away from Shade’s eyes and his smirk went wicked. He leaned forward and pushed his hands up behind the villain on the wall before leaning in to whisper in his ear, “You should know by now that doesn’t work on me of all people sweetheart, I’m not the one who's distracted.”
Shade gulped as his face went dark red, “W-Who’s distracted?”
“Well now I know you’re flustered, it’s clearly you dear. But really,” he leaned back slightly but kept the blushing man’s hands where it was, “what has got you all tongue tied hmm?”
Shade looked down from the hero's eyes, “Nothing.” he murmured.
“But of course, nothing at all. You’re just red and speechless all the time.” Prince raised an eyebrow once more before taking his nemesis chin into his hand and tilting his head up.
“Am not.” he retorted
The hero's eyes lit up, “Alright then my dear, what’s different this time hmm?”
Shade stammered for a moment and tried to avoid eye contact, emphasis on tried.
“Come along now sweetheart, use your big boy words?” The Prince tilted the villain's head this way and that, “Although I must admit, you do have quite the pretty blush.”
Shade could do nothing but whine and try to tuck his head into his own shoulder, “m’ not pretty.” he answered finally.
“Now, now, it’s not nice to insult yourself! Or to tell lies, you are always quite pretty, but I do think I prefer you like this, all red and cute.” The Prince took the hand not holding up Shade and placed a gentle boop to the blushing villains’ face.
“What are- what are you doing?” he whined, entirely unable to stop himself.
Prince smiled widely and leaned forward until he was whispering in Shade’s ear once more, “Well right now I’m seeing how hard I can make you blush, and really, if I had known you’d get all pink and soft like this I would’ve done so ages ago.”
Shade made a high pitched noise that did nothing for his blush before tugging his head away and trying to pull his hands down.
“Oh, sweetheart, where are you going hmm? Just sit here for me, don’t you wanna be good, just this once?” Prince answered while leaning back to watch the blushing man squirm. “You know, I can’t imagine why you would commit all those crimes, really. Is it possible you just wanted someone's attention?”
Shade only got more red, “Are- aren’t I s’possed t-to be th-the mean o-one?” he huffed, which only sounded like a gasp, before mumbling something.
Prince laughed, “If this is what you call mean then no wonder you haven’t done anything truly terrible. But darling I’m curious, what was that last thing you said? It isn’t polite to mumble.” Prince placed his free hand on Shade’s face and traced his bone structure.
He keened, “Kn-knock it off, yo- you’re ch-cheating.”
“Hmm, I thought you would appreciate my little fall from grace?” The hero tilted the flustered mans’ head up and stroked his pulse point. “Now be a good boy and tell me what you said, alright?”
Shades' face had gotten steadily darker, and he had tried to tuck his head against his chest, but seeing as Prince had his chin he merely leaned into the touch. His whining increased with every stroke and soft word from the hero.
“Shade~” the Prince sing-songed, before pulling his hand just out of reach, “Don't ignore me sweetie pie.”
The villain whined uncontrollably and chased the hero's hand to the best of his ability, though his own hands pinned to the wall kept him in place.
Prince’s smirk got impossibly sharper, “Now I can see you’re enjoying this dear heart, would you tell me what you said now? I might just give you back my hand if you’re good.”
Shade keened and tugged on his hands before collapsing back into the wall behind him, he looked up with big eyes, accidentally making eye contact with the smirking hero and looking at his feet again.
Prince rubbed his hands idly while holding him against the wall and looked down at the flustered villain with a little quirk of his lips.
Shade whined a final time before mumbling something again.
“What was that cutie?” the Prince asked with a raised eyebrow.
“S-said th-that m’not g-g-good, m’bad.” he whispered slightly louder, while he fidgeted in place.
Prince tutted before pulling Shade’s chin up and petting all around his face. He let out a soft coo and said; “Oh love you’re not bad, ‘course not! You don’t even hurt anyone sweetie.” The hero forced eye contact before answering in a soft voice, “You’re being rather good right now, of course you’re not bad Shade. No, you’re a good boy aren’t you?”
He let out a high moan while his blush got a few shades darker. He squirmed in place and tried to tug away.
“Oh, oh, oh, look at my pretty boy hmm? I could just keep you here like this all soft and good and sweet?” He leaned forward until Shade was pressed entirely between the hero and the wall, “Would you like that sweetie? Would you be good for me like this?”
Shade nodded his head fervently, all self control gone a few minutes ago.
“It’d be so easy love, to hold you here all panting and needy? It’s okay, you can’t help that you want to be good can you?” Prince continued to whisper, while mouthing along the juncture between the villain's ear and neck.
Shade was helpless against the gentle sensation and so he let out a loud keening moan and didn’t stop, “Please, please, please,” he panted tilting his head to allow for more access, “I’ll be good, I can be good. Promise, promise, promise!”
Prince swore under his breath and leaned back to get a good look at his villain. “Oh look at you!” he gasped.
Shade was stretched out against the brick wall with his eyes closed and a face tensed. His head was canted to the side revealing a purpling mark on his neck, which starkly contrasted against his dark red blush that went from the top of his head and down his neck. His hands were scratching against the wall while held together at the wrist by the Prince himself, the villain's clothes were wrinkled and his cape was knotted around his waist. All around the usually suave villain looked entirely debauched.
He opened his eyes slowly, confused at the sudden loss of interaction, though he clearly wasn't entirely aware of what was happening. Shade looked up at the hero who still had him pinned and was staring at him with bright eyes. They stared for a moment and his blush only increased before he eventually asked; “...Princey?”
The Prince smiled beautifully and murmured appreciatively, “You’re so wonderful.”
Shades' responding stammer was cut off by the hero swiftly leaning in and pressing their mouths together.
He let out a squeak, which allowed the Prince to deepen the kiss. The villain pressed into his counterpart as much as possible, tugging at his hands in an effort to grab. Prince released his wrists and Shade got to work immediately plastering himself around the taller man and grabbing at his clothes. Prince responded without pause by grabbing the back of his neck and pulling him forward.
Without hesitation Prince pressed into the shorter man's mouth, pulling his tongue in and sucking.
Prince pulled apart for a moment with a loud pop to sigh and suck at Shades neck. Shade himself gasped; “Please, please, Prince, need you.”
Prince groaned into his neck before leaning back and staring at him, “You’re fucking beautiful. So good for me. Might never let you go if you keep being this needy.”
For a moment Shade just panted with his eyes closed, but once the words processed in his mind he shot up to stare at The Prince.
The little bit of self control he had been establishing was shattered the moment he saw the look in the hero's eyes, and he was a blushing, overwhelmed mess all over again.
The Prince held Shades’ chin up to maintain eye contact and smirked hard before leaning until they were sharing air. “Look at you.” he murmured.
And with a wide-eyed popping noise Shade vanished from between the hero and the wall before appearing on the other side of the alley way.
Prince stared for a long moment before he gave a lopsided smile, “Were you able to do that the whole time?”
Shade looked down at his feet and caught his breath for a moment, “... maybe.”
Prince tossed his head back and laughed before sticking out his hand, “Come here then.”
The villain hesitated a moment, conflicted between pride and being good, before shuffling over with a light blush dusting his cheeks.
“Good boy, now tell me did you forget you could do that?” Prince said with a wide grin at his obedience while tugging the embarrassed man into his arms.
His blush only increased at the praise, “Yes, but-” he whined at the other man's laughter, “you’re distracting.”
“Hmm, and, correct me if I'm wrong here sweetheart, you didn’t mean to tap just then did you?”
He huffed while the hero continued to pet his hair, but he definitely leaned into it regardless. “No I didn’t but- well you cheated.” Shade responded.
“Y’know I don’t think I’ve seen you tap on accident since middle school, is it possible that I flustered you that much?” The Prince asked with a teasing lilt.
Shade pouted, “S’no fair, you’re making fun of me.”
The Prince pressed a soft kiss onto his forehead, “Only cause you’re so cute when you’re embarrassed and flustered.” The hero let loose a dangerous smirk, “Plus, I’ve gotta be nice to my good boy.”
He whined and tucked his head into the hero's chest in response.
