Alright, this is the Jebediah + Pyramid Head story below. It’s in chat format because I was talking to @crowoflight about it and I’ve just copy/pasted that whole conversation rather than typing it up again. Eventually becomes NSFW, but not until the bolded line. 

bettsplendens

Alright, so the Pyramid Head
thing

bettsplendens

I have a guy named Jebediah. He
fits loosely into Marvel-type universes. Very tall, 7+ft, and far more slender
than humans are. Dark skin kind of charcoal-colored, golden eyes, and no hair
anywhere. It’s questionable whether he’s a mammal.

bettsplendens

There’s a line down his chest,
and similar, smaller marks on his palms, which spread open to let out a set of
what are essentially tentacles. They’re his palm and chest muscles, which can
either fasten to his bones like they’re supposed to or slip out and function as
tentacles, and the inside of the cavity is lined with a thick membrane to
protect it when it’s opened.

He’s very calm, usually. Nice
suits, soft tone, relaxed. Comes with a psychosomatic limp, though. It’s mild
most of the time, but worsens under stress.

bettsplendens

With me so far?

crowoflight

Yup, though I’m making one heck
of a D: face at the muscle tentacle thing. I’m sure it doesn’t hurt, but the
thought it a little shudder inducing.

bettsplendens

Yyyeah, it’s a bit gross.

bettsplendens

He’s terribly calm about it,
though.

Just casually unbuttons his
jacket and lets the tentacles slip out. Some of them are even tipped with bone
shards.

Most people don’t know about
that, though. The line down his chest is hidden, and the ones on his palms just
look like narrow scars.

crowoflight

So, so much D:

bettsplendens

His cheek+jaw skin also stretches
really far, the corners of his lips unravel slightly, and he has some sharp
teeth further back in his mouth.

He’s a gentleman, very polite,
entirely safe to be around, but he can be incredibly creepy if he tries.

Just kinda leans over someone,
lets these red third eyelids slip over his eyes, and slooowly opens his mouth
alarmingly far to show off all those teeth.

So I’m picturing some sort of
general “somebody’s messing with reality slightly” situation where
what amounts to Silent Hill on a miniaturized version kinda works itself into
reality. It’s not quiiite accurate, but the gist is there.

Like, this little corner of a
city abruptly turns into a horror game, complete with monsters.

crowoflight

Very glad he’s polite, otherwise
I’d hide under my desk and never come out. His facial weirdness I can deal
with. Those muscle tentacles, especially with bone tips, would have me
screaming for the hills.

bettsplendens

People who wander in are usually
never heard from again. Once or twice, someone comes back, shaken and reporting
that something dragged them to the edge and threw them out.

(fortunately, he keeps the
tentacles hidden. Not least because they /are/ attached to his ribcage, he can
only breathe shallowly with them extended and prefers not to use them for long)

Jebediah, being outwardly a
largely-human mutant, is generally OK in public. He looks a bit weird, but he’s
well-dressed, polite, and has largely friendly body language.

For this particular situation, he
gets unlucky and encounters a gang who object strongly enough to his appearance
that he decides the best response is a speedy retreat-

right into what looks like a
conveniently abandoned building.

Comes out on the other side and
is immediately attacked by a Mannequin.

Fortunately for him, his cane is
a sword cane, and he’s very agile.

Next up: far too long spent
looking fairly alarmed and attempting to find his way out of /the literal
manifestation of a horror game/.

crowoflight

What kind of creatures inhabit
this not-Silent Hill place? How concerned does he have to be for his safety in
a place like that with his kind of abilities?

bettsplendens

Mostly things very similar to the
creatures in the games.

bettsplendens

They’re aggressive enough to go
after him. About the only thing keeping him in one piece is a combination of
agility and the /reach/ of his arm plus the sword cane.

That psychosomatic limp gets
worse and worse as things go on, though. It’s centered in his hip, mostly, and
gets worse with stress. Eventually locks up the joint almost entirely, to the
point where he needs the cane for outright support.

Goes from exploring and taking
down whatever he encounters to retreating as much as possible, just trying to
hide, trying not to /die/.

bettsplendens

Eventually, he runs into
something he can barely handle, winds up being slammed into a wall a few times
before he stabs it enough to make it back off.

crowoflight

So other than his appearance and
tentacle things, he doesn’t have much difference going on than your average
person?

bettsplendens

Pretty much. He’s very agile as a
virtue of his build, but not much beyond what humans can do. He’s also very
good at self-camo, backing up into shadows and breaking up his form by crossing
his arms across himself, but that works only because humans are less likely to
register strange shapes as ‘oh, that’s a person’.

He’s not the strongest, either,
and only a bit more durable than the average human. Being slammed into a wall
is bad.

Which means he’s dazed, barely
able to focus his eyes on anything, with one leg locked up so badly he’d be
better off with one of those thigh-to-ankle casts.

And /that/ is when Pyramid Head
finds him. Backed into a corner, jaws spread open, hissing as fiercely as he
can in an effort to be more or less intimidating as his only hope at defense.

bettsplendens

Yeah, can’t intimidate /that/.

crowoflight

Oh that is not a good condition
to be in in a place like that. It’s a miracle he makes it out alive. /How/ does
he make it out alive?

bettsplendens

Fortunately for him, this is a
slightly different iteration of Pyramid Head than in the video games. This
particular being is definitely a protector more than anything else- a violent
one, yes, but more like a vigilante prone to especially messy kills than
anything else.

And one who is very intrigued by
this new being.

Turns out /this/ is who’s been
throwing out the humans who turn up. Well- some of them. PH can smell intent,
can smell someone’s character, and has been personally killing the nasty people
who turn up. Innocent folks, if he can get to them before the monsters do, he
puts back outside.

crowoflight

Ah, so /that’s/ how he survives.
If he was in the actual Silent Hill he’d probably be lunch meat by now.

bettsplendens

Yeah, I went with a slightly less
outright /evil/ take on PH.

He knows what humans are, and he
knows about all the different monsters, but he’s never seen anything like
Jebediah. Nobody has.

He’s /curious/.

And he doesn’t smell anything
nasty on Jeb. He knows what rapists and murderers smell like, but this isn’t
one.

crowoflight

So, this PH is wondering why
something that looks similar to one of their monsters but smell innocent in
doing here?

bettsplendens

Very much so, yes.

He’d almost dismiss Jeb as a
weird human if not for the /tentacles/.

Jeb, of course, does not approve
of being picked up by whatever the Hell this is, and fights -literally- tooth
and nail with every bit of energy that he has until he’s unceremoniously
dropped into someone’s bed.

which

is not much less alarming.

crowoflight

Poor Jeb, I’d be having a heart
attack right about then.

bettsplendens

He nearly does.

Which is not at all helped when
someone considerably larger than him decides that the best way to make him sit
still for a brief visual once-over is to straddle his hips/midsection and hold
onto his wrists.

Beings who’ve only recently been
willed into existence, even when they came premade with a grasp of certain
concepts, tend to not realize what might be /terrifying/.

crowoflight

Oh yeah, that’s real calming
right there. /sarcasm dripping off every letter here/ *gently bobs PH with a
cardboard tube*

bettsplendens

PH doesn’t quite realize the
implications of what he’s doing until he catches an echo of what Jeb thinks his
intent is.

When he realizes, though, he
kinda just

backs up into the corner as fast
as possible and tries to figure out how to convey apologies with no face and
only a basic grasp on body language.

crowoflight

*continues with the gentle
bopping* PH ya really need to get some social skills and quick. Probably the
only reason PH gets a chance to explain is because Jeb’s so exhausted?

bettsplendens

This guy comes with no voice, so
that’s something of an issue.

Creeping up and sitting next to
the bed like an apologetic dog helps slightly.

also the “oh HELL no that’s
not what I’m doing” reaction helps.

crowoflight

Gonna be a quick and steep
communications learning curve right there.

bettsplendens

Jeb would be out of there
/immediately/ if he could stand up.

As it is, he’s too busy curling
up under 3 blankets and quietly panicking. Doesn’t usually panic, but, yeah,
that’ll do it.

bettsplendens

Stays completely still until a
large, powerful, lightly clawed hand strokes down his back.

bettsplendens

PH going “okay, heck, this
is a regular flesh being, they bleed, I should check if anywhere is bleeding
very much” and trying to be gentle about it, purring a weird rusty noise
and pulling off his gloves because he dimly realizes something about
cleanliness being important around injuries.

crowoflight

Can’t blame Jeb in that
situation, not many people wouldn’t be panicking at the moment. First time PH
had to sooth someone? Guessing that he usually just grabs the humans and
probably literally just tosses them out of the city.

bettsplendens

Exactly. The first human he tried
to help freaked out so badly they ran straight into a monster, so he decided
that sneaking up behind them, grabbing them, hauling them to the edge, and
literally throwing them out was the safest option.

He’s got an odd understanding of
things, being pretty much literally newborn. There’s a dim understanding of
certain topics, a strong understanding of right vs wrong, and some vague
shadows of other things, but nothing more than the dimmest idea of what might
be comforting.

Really, the only reason Jeb
doesn’t /stab/ him is a decision to just hold still and try not to upset
whatever this is.

bettsplendens

It’s not a fun situation for
awhile, Jeb trying very hard to /not/ upset PH and PH trying to figure out how
to convey “hello i am not going to hurt you”.

crowoflight

Bit of a stand off really. How’s
it work out? Jeb stays still from panic and exhaustion. And PH like what, tries
to communicate without stressing Jeb out further?

bettsplendens

Especially because PH doesn’t
realize at first that removing Jeb’s clothes to get at his injuries is going to
make this much worse.

But yeah, that’s how it goes for
awhile.

bettsplendens

The thing that finally gets the
message across is when PH finally stops, very deliberately tucks several
blankets around Jeb, and resumes attempting to tie a bandage around most of his
forearm.

That’s when it clicks that all
the touches are careful, focused around his injuries, as gentle as this large,
powerful being (who is unused to anything but violence) can manage.

Massive, massive relief.

Jeb kinda just melts.

Mutters something about
“easily the most alarming introduction I’ve ever had”.

crowoflight

Because if PH had wanted to
kill/do worse things to him, he’d have done it by now. The relief has to be
dizzying.

bettsplendens

Jeb starts giggling, so, yes.

And relaxes a bit more when the
response is /purring/.

bettsplendens

PH, meanwhile, takes the clear
relaxation as a signal that it’s OK for him to be curious now. Mostly via
stroking gently along the line in Jeb’s chest, trying to figure out what that
is, and making a very interested noise when the tentacles instinctively curl
against his hand.

This isn’t a malevolent being,
this is a young being with a strong idea of an inherently violent purpose, and
he is /curious/.

bettsplendens

Which is how Jeb ends up mostly
naked, in someone else’s bed, with a curious horror-game monster groping his
chest and purring at him.

crowoflight

That is probably the last way Jeb
expected that encounter to end up. Not gonna complain though. The purrings
gotta be nice.

bettsplendens

Oh, it’s more than nice.

bettsplendens

Deep, deep purring pressed up
close to him, large, strong being stroking some admittedly quite sensitive
areas, crooning down at him….

All that relief-slash-adrenaline
has to go somewhere, and go somewhere it does.

crowoflight

Ah, so sexy times ensues? PH is
probably a big warm presence too. And not disgusted by Jeb’s appearance either.

bettsplendens

PH is, once again, a bit confused
as to what’s going on when he notices the new scent.

But the relief has Jeb melty and
near-giddy enough to be especially bold, to coax a very hesitant PH back up to
straddle him again for a /much/ more positive reaction.

bettsplendens

Not least out of curiosity. PH
looks like a human in a mask, but he’s a bit too large for that, and his nails
are thick and claw-like. And once the apron comes off, the (heavily scarred
already) skin and muscle underneath doesn’t shift quite right, and he smells…
off. Not /bad/, not if you’re Jeb and used to not-quite-human partners, but
odd.

There’s kind of a gap in the
helmet that he can see through, and there’s a long black tongue back there that
he can slip out to taste if he gets curious.

bettsplendens

He’s /not/ human, nowhere near
it, just has that human-in-a-mask basic appearance.

crowoflight

PH is gonna get quite the spur of
the moment education here. Guessing this’ll be his first time with a partner?
Maybe he’s done some solo things but not much more? Can his mask come off or is
it also a part of him?

bettsplendens

First time doing anything other
than rutting against the nearest soft surface, absolutely.

bettsplendens

Interesting equipment, too.
Relatively slender, semi-prehensile shaft, deep black-bronze, tapered tip. Has
Jeb /very/ intrigued.

The mask is part of him. It’s not
painful, it’s something like an exoskeleton made of something very solid and
inlaid with metal.

bettsplendens

Jeb’s not too keen on full-on
sex, not until he’s sure about the chemical composition of PH’s slick and
assorted other fluids, but he’s willing to explain how things work and he is
/absolutely/ up for some grinding.

Those delicate tendrils in his
hands can be put to some very interesting uses with a partner who isn’t
concerned about them.

PH is at least slightly confused
the entire time, but more than up for this.

crowoflight

Yeah, probably safer until PH
learns more things too and how things work and like limitations and stuff like
that. And there’s plenty of things that one can do without full
penetration/fluid exchange.

bettsplendens

PH has a very vague idea of what
sex is, most of his understanding comes from a comprehension of what rape is
(necessary for his vigilante purpose), but he very quickly figures out that it
is /fun/.

bettsplendens

The day after, once Jeb’s had a
nice long nap and is feeling good enough to walk, /and/ now that he has a
protector to keep the beasties away, PH follows him out of the city to be sure
he gets home OK.

Which turns out to be fortunate,
because the city fizzles out shortly after he leaves, the area returning to
normal. Everything in it vanishes, but PH is outside and stays around.

So, the answer to why someone
Skypeing Jeb saw PH naked in the background?

Jeb insisted on putting his
outfit in the washing machine, and PH wandered out into the kitchen after a
shower to find out what all the smells were.

crowoflight

Oh my, that’s quite a ways to get
a new boyfriend.

bettsplendens

Oh yes.

Introducing PH to showers turns
out to be fun, though.

Lots of purring and trying to
nuzzle into the spray.j

bettsplendens

He’s a bit less scary once his
outfit is clean, too.

Granted, there’s still the height
and the head/mask dealio, but this is better.

bettsplendens

Also, oddly; water poured through
the gap in his helmet leaks out the bottom, but a hand slid up under the helmet
eventually encounters what feels like solid resistance made of the same
substance.

He can eat, too. A jagged portion
of the helmet opens up slightly, just below the gap he sees out of, and he can
either put stuff inside or sneak his tongue out to wrap it up and pull it in.

bettsplendens

Jebediah later introduces PH to
Patches, not least because Patches has an ultrasound machine and can let them
take a look at what the heck is going on with his anatomy.

There’s /some/ kind of jaw
structure up under the helmet, almost like a fish jaw, but that’s all they can
see in there with the machine.

Patches is remarkably unfazed,
mostly because Jeb locates a large, fluffy, pink jacket to put on PH for the
introduction. Helps with the first impressions.

crowoflight

Can have all kinds of fun in the
shower too. So PH has got some sort of physics defying masks going on then. And
that mental image of PH in a big fluffy jacket is quite amusing. PH probably
likes the fluff, yeah?

bettsplendens

Oh, he loves the fluff.

and bacon.

bettsplendens

And food that’s guaranteed safe
to eat.

crowoflight

Ah. Guaranteed safe to eat?
Though he probably needs to be taught how to use a grocery store.

bettsplendens

Things that aren’t potentially
spoiled or contaminated.

Yyyeah, might be best not to let
him out in public without some sort of illusion amulet, people /are/ going to
flip.

Baths are strange, but very
pleasant.

Bubble bath is especially fun.

bettsplendens

Soft things are almost entirely
new, as well.

The city wasn’t good for PH,
either. He was relatively safe thanks to significant regenerative abilities and
his comparatively massive size and strength, plus an actual weapon, but he’s
still covered in scars.

Tense, too, sleeps only lightly
at all times.

crowoflight

Jeb gonna enjoy showing soft
things to PH? Have the thought that house chores would be enjoyable by PH, like
he can make his living area nice and tidy and it’ll stay that way. And oh gosh
and honest to goodness /bed/ with tons of blankets and pillows.

bettsplendens

He’s been living in his own
personal survival/horror game, and he’s not outright traumatized, but it takes
him a long time to stop expecting things to jump out at him.

And Jeb is cautious about
introducing PH to his dog.

Jeb has a /very/ pretty dog.

Unidentified combo of mutt, very
lanky, almost like a borzoi but a bit more stately, very short, dark, almost
bronze fur.

bettsplendens

He thinks somebody’s Irish setter
had puppies with a mutt involving greyhound lineage.

Doggo is Suspicious,
understandably.

PH is mostly curious, he’s not
used to seeing living, non-mutated animals.

crowoflight

That is quite the dog. Jeb think
PH would eat the dog or something?

bettsplendens

Jeb not sure if one of them would
try to kill the other.

Dog is suspicious but largely
accepts PH, PH just needs to be taught to respect doggo personal space and read
body language. Too much touchy.

bettsplendens

Too much touchy on everything.

Wants to put his hands everywhere
whenever the gloves are off.

 —————————————-

bettsplendens

ooh

they are gonna have /fun/ once
Jeb quietly asks a chemist friend to please make sure none of PH’s bodily
fluids are outright hazardous to him.

PH is a bit clumsy at first, but
manages to be gentle, and is very focused.

crowoflight

They ain’t leaving the house for
a while after that discovery. Too much exploring to do.

bettsplendens

Oh, PH is gonna be very intrigued
by the whole idea of sex toys.

…and, okay, hm

Jeb has a /very/ tasty image
there.

PH stretched out on his front,
hips propped up, /whining/ softly and kneading his hands on the mattress as Jeb
plays with the controls of a little bullet vibe.

crowoflight

Oh, oh my, that is a very lovely
image indeed.

bettsplendens

Apparently he’s a vocal, easily
flustered bottom.

bettsplendens

Looking over his shoulder with
one arm up to almost-cover his face/eye, growling quietly as he watches Jeb
slowly spread him open, initially twitching away and then slowly leaning back
against him.

bettsplendens

Soft, deep, echoing moans, quiet
groans and purrs, rocking his hips against the pillow under him, whimpering in
pleasure as-

/oh/, and Jeb has a thing for
introducing people to sounding.

So… /that/.

bettsplendens

And apparently PH makes some
interesting noises at being tied spread-eagled for slow, gentle, meticulous
attention.

Jeb just

crowoflight

Of course the big beast of a
monster it a flustered bottom, gotta take care of him somehow. PH makes the
right noises long enough and he could probably make Jeb come in his pants,
yeah? And wow is sounding going to ever be an experience for PH.

bettsplendens

“here, let me show you
everything I can think of that you might like”.

bettsplendens

also

PH learning ASL, and utterly
failing at it when aroused enough.

…ooh

Jeb could just

I mean this might require a towel
or something as padding, but

could just straddle/ride PH’s
face and enjoy all that purring up close and personal, play with the controls
to a remote toy, praise him and reward him for being /good/.

crowoflight

Mhm, that would really be
interesting. PH’s tongue long enough to come out of his mouth to join the play
time?

bettsplendens

Oh, yes, absolutely.

Jeb teaching PH how to spread him
open, nice and slowly, so he can try and take that /very/ interesting cock.

Delighted, if slightly unearthly,
crooning at /that/.
