Hii! I see that you open MadCom request and I love reading your works 👀🫶 Can I have a Phobos x Reader? Reader do something that catches his attention or maybe a bit of rivalry going on here- but plot/scenario changes are up to you!
Infuriating
May or may have not gotten a little too carried away with this one lmao.
T/W: Suggestive themes
Phobos couldn’t grasp it around his head. How could he, Nevada’s greatest Emperor, end up falling for some lowly mortal. Especially one that would constantly challenge him despite knowing the repercussions of doing so. Not a single mortal that was under his authority ever did such a thing. It pissed him off so much that he couldn’t get you out of his mind. The worse part, you wouldn’t spare him the attention others would offer to him. Not even a single glance. And when you would, your eyes held not a single ounce of fear in them. You would just stare at him blankly before continuing off on your duties or with whatever he would order you to do. As long it’s within your pay of course. Your words not his.
At first he did think of killing you off, but you were actually the only one qualified enough for the job and position he had employed you for. That being the main lead scientist of the Nexus Core:Project. At first he thought you would be just like the other lowly scum he had hired, but you can imagine his surprise when you would finish your work quickly compared to the others. Let alone how fast you would throw yourself into work. Not only that, you had no tolerance of people within your squad slacking off during work hours.
Phobos took note of you being somewhat more friendly to both Jebediah and Hofnarr who were also assigned on both The Nexus Core and Sleepwalker Program. He would occasionally find you three dabbling in ideas that would possibly help the project and program. Other than that, it’d mostly be strictly part of work.
At first, Phobos thought you were doing it to try and impress him. Though when he caught sight of your indifferent look towards him, he was livid. No one had dared to look at him in such a way other than you. To him, you were nothing but another waste of space to him that he could easily snuff out. The only reason he hasn’t is just due to your brilliant work ethics that would speed up the progress of these projects.
A fist bangs onto his desk causing everything on it to jump along with the four agents who were stationed outside of his office. Phobos was infuriated with you, blamed you for how he felt for you. He even tried thinking of ways you ended up bewitching him using some sort of curse or magick. But deep inside he knew damn well that it was his own fault for letting himself become ensnared by you and you alone. It’s just his pride and ego won’t let him admit it. Phobos lets out an exasperated sigh before standing from his desk.
He exits out of his office through his door. The agents who were outside were standing at attention, saying nothing until he spoke to them. Of course he said nothing, only motioning for them to follow him. His loud footsteps fell on the ground through the hallway, agents, grunts, and scientists alike moving out of his way while giving a bow in his direction before scurrying off.
Phobos stops in front of your lab door, turning his head slightly to the agents who were still trailing behind him.
“Make sure no one comes or gets out unless I say so.” After hearing them confirm their orders, Phonos walks in through the door and sees you currently jotting down notes before taking a large swig of your coffee that was sitting on your desk.
“Dr. (L/n)” The sound of writing had stopped coming from you as you heard Phobos call out your last name. Your tired and irritated eyes looking in his direction before looking back down at your clipboard. He could feel his eyebrow twitch in annoyance.
“Director Phobos…” your voice was as if you had just woken up from sleep.
“You do realize how insulting it is for you not to directly look at your Emperor when he is speaking to you?”
“And do you realize how rude it is for you to come in here and interrupt my work, “My Lord””. Your voice was condescending as you set your clipboard down, leaning against the desk. But the way “my lord” came out of your lips made his heart pound for you. Crossing your arms, you look at Phobos. “Is there anything you need, Director Phobos. If not, I would like to continue my work so I may meet this month’s deadline.”
“Do not talk to me as if I am one of those lowly mortals that are beneath me.” He glares at you before slowly walking in your direction. “I have had enough with your disrespect towards me.”
He stops in front of you, looking straight down at your smaller frame. He could still see you were not afraid of him.
“I’ve also had enough of you constantly invading my thoughts. What sort of shit did you pull in order for me to even think about some pathetic waste of air like you?!” Phobos now had caged you between his arms.
You raise an eyebrow at his accusation, obviously you were talking about. Phobos could see it as he studied your face. He lets out another sigh.
“Phobos, do you have a crush on me?” You sneered at him, hand over your mouth to hide the smile that curled into your lips. Phobos was taken back at your forwardness. Let alone accusations.
“What?! Of course not! Why would I even spare a single glance in your direction?!” He tried to his embarrassment as he snatched his arms away from you, no longer caging you. Another laugh bellowed from you as gave him another smile.
“You constantly bother me whenever I work and you grow irritated when I don't show you the attention you seek. It sounds to me” you tilt your head to the side while lowering your voice an octave “you definitely have a thing for me.”
He could feel his blood boiling as you finished your sentence. You were bold, and that was something he loved about your character. All those times you pissed him off, he could use it to his advantage. He stares at you, body hot with anger and something else. As if he needed you against him. He looks at your soft lips. Oh fuck it.
Phobos only glares at you before slamming his hand against the desk once more while the other grabs the back of your head to hold it while he smashes his lips with yours. You let out a small squeak before slapping your hands against his chest before yours collided with his. The kiss was feverish, almost desperate for your attention. It made your head spin. No-fucking-way in Jebus’s name would Nexus City’s tyrant would have a thing for you. Let alone kissing you in your lab right now.
The kiss lasted for a couple more seconds before you had to separate yourself from him for air.
“Consider yourself mine and mine alone. You may be the only one who is able to get away with infuriating me, but just know it’s because I allow you to.” Phobos said against your lips before taking you into his once more.
You can only grin against his lips while you kiss him back, arms and hands clinging and gripping onto his shoulders and clothes. The room felt hot. Almost too hot. The both of you would’ve continued if it weren’t for the sound of both Dr. Hofnarr and Dr. Christoff’s voices coming through the door.
“What do you mean Director Phobos is currently busy with them? We have to meet our deadline THIS month!”
“Christoff calm down! I’m sure it’s important!”
“Oh shit… I forgot about them.” You hissed before pushing Phobos away from you so you were able to fix yourself. Phobos let out an irritated grunt for the interruption, but he too also wanted The Nexus Project to be done. As you go to the door, Phobos’s hand shoots out and grabs your wrist, yabking you back into his chest.
“Just remember you belong to me and me only.” Phobos lets go of your wrist before walking towards the door. Swinging it open, he looks at both Jebediah and Hofnarr before motioning for his guards to follow him.
The two of them peek inside your office only to see you now scribbling on your clipboard. Jebediah raises an eyebrow.
“What was that all about?” He walks up to you along with Hofnarr who is currently placing a stack of papers on a nearby desk.
“Nothing, just the same thing as before. More work.” You sigh, shaking your head before placing the board back down.
“Hey, (Y/n)?” Hofnarr comes up to you, worry etched onto his face. “You okay? Your lips look swollen.” Jebediah looks at you as well only for you to dismiss it.
“Nothing, so about your guy’s findings on The Nexus Project and Sleepwalker Program…”
