Short Story

Piercing Shenanigans, Part 1 : The Bold Move

Loona leaned back in her chair at the I.M.P. office, the faint hum of the air conditioning filling the otherwise empty space. She’d been with Immediate Murder Professionals (I.M.P) for a while now, long enough to know the chaos of Blitzo’s missions and the quiet moments when the crew was out hunting targets. Today was one of those rare lulls—Blitzo, Moxxie, and Millie were off on some Earth-side job, leaving just her and Vortex behind. Her tail flicked idly as she scrolled through her phone, but her mind wasn’t on the screen. It was on him.

Vortex—Tex to her—had been her friend for ages, ever since their paths crossed in Hell’s chaotic social circles. He was a big, goofy hellhound with a grin that could melt steel and a laugh that made her roll her eyes and smile at the same time. When Verosika Mayday, his old boss, cut him loose from her entourage, Loona hadn’t hesitated to vouch for him at I.M.P. Sure, she’d pitched it as needing extra muscle—Tex was built like a tank, after all—but deep down, it was more than that. She liked having him around. His stories about his wild nights, his casual shrugs about his open fling arrangement with Beelzebub, the way he’d recount his escapades like some lovable doofus… it got under her skin in a way she couldn’t shake.

She’d always been curious—okay, more than curious—about trying him out herself. Tex was upfront about his and Bee’s deal: they could mess around with others, no strings, no fuss. He’d laugh about it over beers, his deep voice rumbling as he’d say, “Hey, long as everyone’s havin’ fun, right?” Loona would nod, smirking, but inside, her stomach did flips. She wanted in on that fun, but asking? Nope. Too shy, too awkward. Confronting him head-on wasn’t her style. Instead, she’d dropped hints—little stories about her own hookups, sly mentions of fantasies, even flashing a flirty grin here and there. But Tex, bless his airheaded heart, just chuckled and called her cute, brushing it off like she was joking. It drove her nuts.

Today, though, felt different. She’d gotten her nipples pierced a few days ago—her latest addition to a growing collection that already decorated her ears, eyebrow, and navel. She loved the sting, the thrill of new metal in her skin, and these ones? They made her feel bold. Dangerous. And with the office empty except for Tex, hunched over some paperwork in a crisp white shirt and tie—holy shit, he looked good in that—an idea sparked. A brazen, reckless idea.

She glanced at him across the room, his broad shoulders straining the fabric, the tie slightly askew like he’d tugged at it one too many times. Loona’s heart thudded. This was her shot. She could tease him, push him, see if he’d finally catch on. Her tail swished as she called out, voice steady despite the nerves bubbling inside.

“Hey, Tex, c’mere a sec.”

He looked up, his easy grin flashing as he set down his pen. “What’s up, Loon?”

Loona smirked, her fingers gripping the hem of her top. She lifted it just enough to reveal the fresh piercings glinting against her fur, her voice dripping with bravado. "Check it out, Tex. Freshly pierced and lookin’ badass. Bet you’ve never seen anything this bold, huh? Try not to blush too hard."

Her pulse raced as she held the pose, watching his reaction, hoping—praying—this time he’d get the damn hint.
