Steve glared at the trailer as the snow fell gently. He shouldn’t be here, Eddie was very clear that Steve should not be here. But he didn’t say why and that’s what made him show up.After Eddie woke up from the bat attacks, he had some healing to do. Steve was there through every painful PT session, every moment of doubt. He confessed his crush on Eddie before April’s end and Eddie expressed the same. But he refused to date until he was healed enough, something about not wanting to be a burden.Steve thought it was stupid, but he respected his wish and waited. And waited. And waited. Three long months later, Eddie took Steve on a date to Indy and they’ve been official ever since.It’s been amazing. Romantic, and silly, and everything Steve could dream of; not to mention the sex.Eddie knew what he was doing, making Steve see stars every time. He blushed as he remembered a few nights ago.

Steve pulled against the restraints tying him to the headboard. “Eddie I’m sorry! Please, I’ll be good.” He whined. Eddie chuckled darkly.“Oh? What was it you said to me earlier? ‘You’re too sweet to hurt me properly’? Bet you regret that now, don’t you, princess?” Eddie growled as he thrust hard into Steve. His ass was sore and red from the spanking Eddie gave him and now, his soft dick bounced on his stomach, a string of cum connecting it to the pool on his stomach. Eddie’s hand smacked the side of Steve’s dick, making him cry out.“Yes! I’m sorry. I’m sorry. It hurts.” He whined as he tried to wiggle away. His tied hands and Eddie’s pining him down made it hard though.“Color?” Eddie asked without stopping. This was something they agreed on early in their relationship. Even if Eddie was concerned, he didn’t change anything until Steve confirmed. So he still pounded Steve’s ass as he checked in.“Green, so green.” Steve whimpered. “Harder, please.” He demanded and if the smile on Eddie’s face said anything, it was that Eddie was delighted.“Since you asked so nicely.” He said before he grabbed Steve’s soft dick and jerked it in time with his hips. Steve yelled as he came dry, tears stung his eyes. “How many was that baby? I lost count.” Eddie asked with a smirk. Steve knew there was a right answer and a wrong answer...he wanted to push further, but his dick was starting to feel raw and it was quickly going to start hurting, but not in the fun way. So, he gave the right answer.“Five, sir. Please no more!” Steve cried out. Eddie let go of him and quickly unlocked the cuffs.“You relax, baby. I’m not gonna stop until I cum or you call red, okay?” He asked as he flipped Steve to his stomach. He nodded his permission but a sharp slap to his sore ass caused him to yelp.“Okay! Yes, use me sir. Fuck my ass until you cum!” He shouted. Eddie groaned and took hold of his hair. He harshly yanked his head back until he was sitting on his lap.“Take it baby.” He cried out as he released deep into Steve’s ass, filling him to the brim. He collapsed forward to the bed to catch his breath.Eddie pulled out and kissed along Steve’s spine. “You okay, baby?” He asked as he sat up. Steve nodded, blissed out. Eddie pulled him into a sitting position and hugged him to his chest. “You did so good, baby. So good.” Eddie continued to whisper reassurances in his ears as they calmed down. He lifted Steve into his arms and carried him into the bath.There wasn’t a lot of good that came out of the fight in March, but Eddie’s payout from the government included a small house with a nice bath. It wasn’t a fair trade, but it was something. And that bath came in handy on nights like tonight when the two men could fit comfortably into the tub together.Steve laid on Eddie’s chest as the warm water surrounded them. “Was it really okay?” Eddie whispered into the warm air.“It was perfect, Eds. I love when you’re mean to me.” Steve chuckled. The comfortable silence returned but something was on Steve’s mind. “How come you don’t bottom? Or, sub? No judgment, just a question.” Steve rushed to clarify when he felt Eddie tense. It was several minutes before Eddie could answer.“I...had an experience early on in my…exploits.” Eddie paused to collect himself. “And it makes it hard to be vulnerable like that with someone else.” He took a deep breath. “I don’t want to lie to you, but I… the truth might hurt, and I don’t want to do that.” Eddie agonized. Steve had a choice.“Tell me, and I will not be hurt.” He promised, he needed to know the truth.“Just...you ever have something so amazing happen that, you think you’ll lose your mind trying to chase that rabbit?” Eddie asked.“It was that good?” Steve asked.“Like a drug.” Eddie said shyly.“And you don’t think I would be good at it?” Steve tried not to take it personally, even though he promised, it still hurt.“It’s not that!” Eddie exclaimed. “It’s…I don’t…” Eddie faltered. “It’s not about whether you’d be good or bad, it’s just…it’s not you. I’ve tried it in the past after…after. And I was disappointed every time. I care about you too much to put either of us in that situation. Does that make sense?” Steve turned in Eddie’s arms to look in his eyes. All he saw was sincerity and fear. His eyes pleaded with Steve to understand, wet and near tears.“Yeah, I get it.” Steve said. And he did, there were certain things he didn’t think he’d get again when Nancy broke up with him. Just because he was ready to try for those feelings again didn’t mean Eddie was.They lounged in the bath for a few more minutes until the water was cold. They laid together that night wrapped up in each other.In the morning, Steve awoke to Eddie making pancakes. “Morning, Eds.” He called as he made a cup of coffee. Eddie kissed him on the lips softly before he set his plate down.“Morning, baby. Sleep okay?” Eddie asked. Steve nodded around a yawn and sipped his coffee.
The
y
enjoyed each other’s company and as Steve
finished his breakfast,
he wanted to make plans for the week. “So, I know you and Wayne are going to Joyce’s Christmas party on the 25
th
, but what are you doing for Christmas Eve?” He asked. Eddie froze but shook himself out of it quickly.
“Not, much. Wayne works Christmas Eve.” He hedged, sounding like he wanted that to be the end of the conversation.“Oh, that sucks.” Steve said, because it did. “Does he need to though?” Steve swore the upside down settlement was enough that Wayne could take the holiday.“Eh, old habits and all that.” Eddie said with a forced laugh. He was hiding something. But Steve didn’t know what it could be.“Well, do you want to come-” Steve began but was interrupted by Eddie.“NO!” He shouted. He cleared his throat and said again. “I mean, no thank you, Steve. I appreciate it, but I’ll be fine.” He said as he walked Steve to the door. “You want to be alone on Christmas Eve?” Steve asked.“Yeah, I like it like that.” Eddie squeaked out. Steve narrowed his eyes, Eddie wasn’t the best liar but this was almost embarrassingly obvious.“Are you sure? If you don’t want to come to mine, I can come over here.” He offered, maybe it was the soullessness of the Harrington house that drove Eddie away, Steve could understand that.“No.” Eddie said harshly. “Don’t come here.” Steve flinched back, hurt. “I’ll see you at Joyce’s okay?” Eddie asked, his voice softened.“Okay, I’ll see you then.” Steve said confusedly. Eddie didn’t stop him from kissing him softly before he turned to leave. He felt wrong footed when he got to his car. Eddie waved him off with a smile but as Steve got to his house, he had a sinking feeling.

Which brought him to tonight, sitting in his car, hidden from view of Eddie’s house. The only car out front was Eddie’s as Wayne normally parked in the garage. But the tire tracks showed he left recently, so it should just be Eddie. Steve waited for someone else to show. The only explanation he could draw was Eddie had another date coming tonight. And when he thought back to that tub conversation, Steve wondered if this mystery person was the rabbit.He was there for an hour, ready to give up and believe that Eddie really was going to be alone tonight, when it happened.The Christmas Lights decorating Eddie’s porch, flashed.He jumped out of the car, grabbed his bat from the trunk, and strode to the front door of the house on instinct. He didn’t bother knocking, he used his spare key to open the door, and held his bat high, expecting to see a flower faced monster. Instead he saw…well he wasn’t sure what he was looking at.
The beast, -because that’s what it was, a beast- turned toward the sound with an angry snort.
Its
huge form was covered in fur, horns curved up toward the ceiling,
sturdy hooves for feet
, and
it
was naked. Steve knew because between
its
legs sat a large cock, thick as a soda can, as long as Steve’s femur.
Its
thin pointed tail swished in anger as steam expelled from
its
nose. That wasn’t the most surprising thing though. No, it was Eddie’s voice.
“Steve! Get the fuck out.” He growled. Odd, he didn’t sound afraid. He sounded pissed. As Steve’s eyes moved from the monster toward Eddie, he saw a circle in white chalk on the ground around the beast, Eddie in nothing but a thin shift, stood to the side with blood pooling in one palm, a sharp knife in the other.“Eddie, I saw flashing lights, are you okay?” Steve asked ignoring both Eddie’s demand and this monster. The monster huffed in annoyance.“Theodore, what is the meaning of this?” The beast asked, eyes not leaving Steve. “Who is this insignificant boy?” Steve bristled.“I’m his boyfriend and I’ve killed a lot worse than you, pal.” Steve stepped forward. Obviously whatever this thing was, it trapped or tricked Eddie into doing what it wanted. He held the bat up threateningly but the monster only laughed. With a snap of its furry fingers, the bat exploded into pieces.“Steve, shut up.” Eddie demanded before he turned to the monster, his head bowed as he stepped past the chalk line. “I don’t know why he’s here, my lord. I told him not to come.” One long claw tilted Eddie’s chin up, and Steve saw red. “Don’t touch him!” He shouted. He attempted to breach the chalk circle but was thrown back several steps. The beast glanced at Steve and sneered.“Pet, your boy is bothersome. I’m afraid I will not be able to complete the ritual if he is going to be here. Nor do I want to. I will take my leave. If you wish, you may summon me again next year.” It looked into Eddie’s eyes.“No!” Eddie cried out as he grasped the monster’s hand. Steve was so lost. “Please, my lord, ignore him. Please.” Eddie begged as dropped to his knees, hands clasped together. Ignore him? That was rude, he wasn’t going to stand by while this monster was hurting Eddie. “If he is this irritating when I simply touch your face, he will be more so later.” The beast murmured.“Please, I beg you. Let me talk to him, explain. Then we can complete the ritual.” Eddie pleaded. The beast took in Eddie’s being thoughtfully, Steve assumed anyway. Its lips curled into the approximation of a smile.“Very well, pet. I will give you one minute. Then I will return, he will be gone, or I will decide his punishment.” It kissed Eddie softly on the forehead. In a cloud of gray smoke, the being vanished, leaving Eddie alone in the chalk circle.
S
teve rushed forward, able to cross the circle this time. “
Eddie! Are you okay?” He asked as he went to look at his cut hand. Eddie’s glare stopped him in his tracks.
“What are you doing here, Steve? I told you not to come over.” Eddie spit. Steve was more confused now. He thought Eddie was under some sort of Spell and once the monster went away, he’d be free. But that didn’t seem to be the case. Maybe the hold was more powerful than he thought?“We need to call Hopper or something.” Steve said mostly to himself. Eddie held tight to his wrist. “Why?” Eddie asked.“That thing has some sort of spell or curse on you.” Steve explained calmly. Only for Eddie to throw it back in his face when he laughed harshly.“That thing?” Eddie snarled. “Is Lord Krampus. He didn’t put a curse or spell on me, Steve.” Eddie sighed and stepped out of the circle, Steve followed close behind.“Then how did it get here?” He asked. Eddie wrapped the towel draped over the couch around his hand.“I summoned him.” He shrugged nonchalantly. Steve froze in shock. Then he exploded.“Eddie what the fuck?! We just fully healed from the Upside Down and you summoned a different monster?” Steve wanted to shake him, he was so mad.“He’s not a monster!” Eddie shouted. “And he’s not like the Upside Down. I know what I’m doing.” He said calmly. “Now, you need to leave before he comes back.”“Too late.” Came a deep voice. Before a burst of smoke flickered the lights again. The beast stood once again in the circle. “He doesn’t appear to like your explanations, pet. Did he hurt you?” Steve scoffed but Eddie moved around him and stepped into Krampus’ arms. He looked Eddie over for signs of injury and pet his face softly.“No, my lord. He’s just worried. The place I was telling you about before he showed? He thinks you’re from there.” Eddie whispered, he no longer seemed to care that Steve was here. Krampus turned to Steve, his eyes glowed red.“I am not like that place. I am older and far more powerful.” His voice bellowed. “Did he tell you why he summoned me?” Steve shook his head, annoyed that this thing knew things about Eddie he didn’t.“The first time, was 1984.” He began. “Wayne was sick, we couldn’t afford a doctor. I was in the library, trying to find something to help, when I found this.” Eddie held up the book. “I did the ritual for the wish master and…” He trailed off. Steve could fill in the blanks.“Usually, after a ritual is complete, the book and I disappear, but Theodore’s wish was so pure, I chose to leave the book for him to use again. And before you can even think about it, the book is magic, it cannot be destroyed.” Krampus said with a knowing smirk. Eddie’s eyes widened.“Steve!” Eddie exclaimed. “The only reason I am the way I am is because of him.” Steve furrowed his eyebrows in confusion.“In 1985, Theodore wished for his body to match what he was inside.” The beast explained.“Now do you see?” Eddie said, quietly. Steve did see, this monster may be terrifying, but he could see the adoration for him in Eddie’s eyes. He wouldn’t be able to talk him about of this and by the looks of it, he was the intruder.“I guess I should leave you to it then.” Steve said. What else was he supposed to do? He moved to exit, but there was suddenly birch branches blocking the door.“Not so fast, insect.” The beast stomped toward him. “You must pay a penitence for intruding.” A birch branch wrapped around his torso and threw him back into a chair. Other branches held him down, and he was turned to face the circle. “You wanted to see what was happening so badly? Well, then you will see.” Eddie looked at him, eyes widening. “Is that alright with you?” For a second Steve thought he was talking to him, but he was looking at Eddie.“If that is what you request my lord.” Eddie nodded, head bowed. Steve struggled against the branches, the birch digging into his flesh. It wasn’t like the vines or the Russians, thankfully, but it wasn’t exactly comfortable.“HEY, let me out of this!” Steve shouted. The two looked at him, Krampus with a sneer, Eddie with big wet pleading eyes.“Quiet!” Krampus snapped.“Please.” Eddie whispered, conveying all he needed to for Steve to settle. He may not know exactly what was going on here, but he knew Eddie needed him to relax. He would do anything for him.“Well, pet. Looks like this bug has finally accepted his fate. Shall we?” The beast asked as he pulled Eddie into his chest. It was like Steve disappeared after that. Eddie nodded once and there was a flash of light. A soft bed appeared in the circle, Eddie climbed on top, Krampus joining him.“Your wish, darling?” Krampus asked. Eddie took a deep breath.“I wish the Upside Down no longer existed.” Eddie said strongly. The beast smiled softly, pressing his lips against Eddie’s. Steve flinched hoping that was the worst of it. His long tongue flicked across the blood on Eddie’s hand, cleaning it and sealing the wound all at once.“Your wish is selfless.” Krampus whispered. “That will make this easier.” Eddie nodded, his eyes drooping as if he was falling asleep. “Ready?”“Yes, my lord.” Eddie whispered. Steve could do nothing as Eddie willingly removed his shift, bare to this creature. He laid himself back, allowing Krampus to lay above him. His furry hands, caressed his boyfriend’s sides, causing Eddie to shiver. Somehow, Steve knew it wasn’t because it was cold, or in fear. Apprension licked up his spine, he felt fear enough for the two of them.“Now, pet. Would you like this the human way? Or would you like me to use my power to prep you?” He asked. Eddie’s mind seemed far away and the beast gently smacked his thigh. If Steve didn’t know any better, he’d say Eddie was slipping into subspace.“Will it hurt the human way?” Eddie asked shyly.“Do you want it to?” Krampus asked. Eddie shook his head softly, like he was afraid that was the wrong answer. “I can make sure it doesn’t.” Krampus raised his hand and shrank his nails down from claws to blunt ends, the hair on them receded until it was the approximation of a human hand. With a wave of the hand, a bottle of lube appeared. Eddie’s preferred brand, something they couldn’t get outside of Indy. He liberally coated his fingers, pinched Eddie’s chin, and kissed him deeply. If Steve was the one kissing him, he’d describe it as passionate.Eddie moaned softly, whining a bit when he pulled back, chasing his lips. Krampus chuckled and grasped Eddie’s thigh. His free hand slid down behind Eddie’s ass circling his rim. Steve’s eyes widened in horrific realization. This, was Eddie’s rabbit.
~~~
Eddie bit his lip as Lord Krampus pushed his finger inside, past the tight ring of muscle. Thanks to his magical abilities, Eddie felt no pain as he was stretched, only pleasure. He caught his lord’s eyes and smiled shyly, the adoration in the being’s eyes made him nervous.He knew he was different than Lord Krampus’ past lovers, if he could even call himself that. For one, he made multiple wishes. It was his rule, to never grant the same person more than one wish. Eddie didn’t know what made him special, but he didn’t need to know. So long as that book remained in his possession, he would summon him. He was afraid that in the aftermath of the Upside Down the book had been lost, but one day he walked into his new bedroom and the book was on his bed. Eddie supposed that’s what made it magic.As Lord Krampus pushed in a second finger, his head fell to the side where Steve was staring. He wanted to feel bad, and a part of him did, but a bigger part of him didn’t care. He cared for Steve, he did, but the feelings Lord Krampus gave him surpassed all else. Steve whispered his name like a plea, begging Eddie to stop this.He ignored him; he wanted this just as much as he needed to do it.“You alright, pet?” His creature asked.“Yes, please give me another?” He asked sweetly. He was always good for Lord Krampus.“Good boy.” He said and slid a third finger into Eddie. Eddie threw his head back at the impossible stretch. Krampus enlarged his fingers and pushed against Eddie’s walls, pushing him further and further from thoughts of Steve or anything else. His eyes rolled into the back of his head as Krampus brushed his prostate. He thanked his lucky stars he was able to experience both g-spot and prostate stimulation. His mind was hazy and he started to giggle.“Feels good, my lord.” He slurred. Krampus smiled, slipping his tongue into his waiting mouth. As Krampus pumped his fingers in and out of Eddie, his tongue gently massaged his own. “More, please. Please, my lord, I can take it.” Eddie whispered against his mouth.“Gods, you beg so prettily.” Krampus growled and added a fourth finger. Eddie cried out as he came, spurts of it landing on his chest and in Krampus’ chest fur.“I’m so...I’m sorry. I couldn’t hold back.” Eddie whimpered.“Shh, pet. It’s alright. You know I have the power.” With a snap of his still clawed fingers, Eddie’s cock filled out again. Eddie gasped. His high pitched uh-uh-uhs filled the little house. He glanced at Steve, to see tears running softly down his cheeks.“I’m sorry, Stevie.” Eddie whispered. Krampus growled in displeasure. He grasped his chin and yanked him back to look at him.“Don’t look at him. Don’t acknowledge the insect that interrupted my night with you.” His kiss possessed Eddie’s being, claiming him for his own. “I cherish our one night. If it were up to me, I’d come to you every night. You belong to me, you understand.” Krampus whispered.“Yes, my lord. I’m yours.” Eddie sighed.“Eddie, no.” Steve whispered, but he couldn’t be bothered to comfort him. He warned Steve to stay away but he didn’t listen, his lord punished his actions. Steve had to live with them.Krampus removed his fingers even as Eddie whined. He notched his thick cock against Eddie’s hole. But he wasn’t worried, Lord Krampus would never hurt him, unless he asked. Just as he knew it would, his hole stretched to accommodate the size, and Krampus pushed in to the hilt. Eddie panted as he settled into the feeling of being so full, his creature above him, breathing as he too got used to the feeling of Eddie’s hole clutching him.“You alright, love?” Krampus asked. Eddie smiled shyly and hid his face as he nodded. “Words, pet.”“Yes, I’m alright. You can move.” He pushed his hands into Krampus’ mane, pulling the man down to him. As Krampus moved his hips in slow deep thrusts, Eddie moaned into his mouth and softly nipped at his lip. He put his hand on his stomach over his navel, and with every thrust, Krampus nudged his hand. Eddie’s eyes rolled into the back of his head as he groaned.“Tell him, pet. Tell your boy how it feels.” Krampus demanded. Eddie’s half lidded eyes glanced at his boyfriend.“I can feel him in my throat. He feels so good, Stevie.” He sighed. He looked back at his creature. Softly, caressing his face, he whispered. “Loving.”“I do, love you, pet.” Krampus whispered. Eddie and Steve gasped, both very different reactions.“I love you, too. I wish you could stay after this.” Eddie replied as tears sprung to his eyes. Krampus’ hips picked up speed and he began ramming into Eddie. The headboard banged against the invisible walls of the summoning circle.“Eddie!” Steve sobbed loudly. Eddie tried not to roll his eyes. With a wave of his hand, Krampus wrapped a birch branch over Steve’s mouth, quieting his cries. With his boyfriend finally silent, Eddie could focus on his creature above him.“I’m getting close, pet.” Krampus warned, his clawed fingers wiping Eddie’s tears. His still humanish hand wrapped around his cock, jerking it in time with his thrusts.“Come inside, my lord. Please, I want to feel you for as long as I can.” His heart ached as it did every time his lord was close. It meant their time together was ending. His lips crashed into Krampus’ as his creature came deep inside him. Eddie followed quickly, crying out as his second orgasm crashed through him. Krampus’ deft tongue extended to clean him up, feeding it to him in a kiss.“Shh, it’s alright.” His creature whispered. Eddie hadn’t realized he’s been begging him to stay. “I can’t stay. But, you could come with.” Krampus offered. Eddie stared at him as Steve thrashed in the corner.“What?” He asked softly. He didn’t dare get his hopes up. Krampus pulled out, waved his hand to clean them both up, and sat Eddie up. He produced a wet wash cloth out of thin air, wiped his face, and pulled his soft shift over his head to cover him.“I want to take you with me. As my consort.” Krampus proposed. Eddie smiled and let out a little elated giggle. But very quickly he had some reservations.“What about my life here? My friends? My uncle? My boy...Steve?” Eddie asked. Krampus smiled triumphantly at his little stutter.“You can see them, whenever you want. I am bound to come to this dimension only once a year; you however, would be able to travel freely since you are of this dimension.”“How would it work?” Eddie asked. Krampus wrapped his arms around him and held him close to his chest.“As long as you return to me each night, you can come and go as you please.” Krampus promised.“When can we do it?” Eddie asked.“Technically, it can only be done after the fifth summoning. But since two of your three wishes were selfless, we can get away with it early. All you have to do is pledge to give yourself to me and only me, for the rest of time.” Krampus held out his hand, now back to normal, and sliced his own palm open. Eddie looked at Steve who was shaking his head.“Will my Uncle know what happened?” Eddie couldn’t go if his uncle would mourn him.“I can make him, your friends, and even your ex-boyfriend here, think you found someone in a far away city. That you moved to be with him, they will all know you are happy.” Krampus promised.“What about the book? When you get summoned again?” He asked. He didn’t want his creature to sleep with anyone else. Which he understood was hypocritical.“You are the last one to pay me in this way, pet.” Krampus promised. Satisfied, Eddie held out the palm he cut earlier and allowed Lord Krampus to slice it open again.
~~~
Steve thrashed against his bindings as he watched in horror as Eddie took the beast’s hand, sealing their fate. The ties finally released but he knew it was too late. Eddie made a deal with the devil and there was no angel on Earth that could undo that.“Eddie, what did you do?” Steve whispered in horror. The bed was gone in an instant and the two stood together, Eddie’s back to the monster’s chest.“Do you wish to remember I was here, insect? Or would you prefer to forget me and pretend Theodore left you for a human?” Krampus asked. Steve couldn’t answer, all he saw was red. He lunged forward, smacking into the barrier. “So, be it.”“I’m sorry, Steve.” Eddie whispered. Then with a flash, Eddie, the beast, and the book vanished. Steve stood alone in Eddie’s living room, staring at the last place he’d ever see the man he loved.
