    Summary

    Zanka is tasked with keeping Jabber from running too wild in his new position with the cleaners. Jabber is a ball of excess manic energy. Daily fights are a little unsustainable when there are trash beasts to be defeated on a moment’s notice.

    And since their relationship has been evolving, it's a no brainer. Jabber is a masochist. Zanka has a dominant streak. Easy peasy. It shouldn’t be too different from all the times before.

    Except, as usual, Zanka is a fucking wild card. Sex never felt hazy or vulnerable like this with any of the strangers that make up Jabber’s sexual history. Jabber is used to pain, but treated with roughness and care in equal measure is new and very disarming.

    Summary

    “Oookay. I guess I’ll come back another time-” Zanka grabbed his arm, hard. It felt like his wrist was cracking under the pressure, and he groaned. Feels good.

     

    “Zanka, my guy, I didn’t think you were in the mood but-”

     

    Zanka looked up at him blank-faced. “Kill me.”

     

    What?

    or: after Jabber saves Zanka from a suicide attempt, he tries some unusual ways of getting him back to normal.

    Summary

    “Gone a little far this time for somethin'. How was I to know this high came rushing? We're on the borderline, caught between the tides of pain and rapture. Possibly a sign I'm gonna have the strangest night on Sunday.” — Borderline, The Slow Rush, Tame Impala, 2020

     

    It’s one thing to see Jabber lost in the throes of pain with a pleased look on his face. It’s an entirely different thing to see him writhe in the agony of a woman and actually look like he was not having a good time. Guess which one turns Zanka on even more.

    Summary

    Jabber understood the value of secrecy-- really, he did. Still, when that crew of "Cleaners" begin to disrupt Zodyl's plans while sporting full-masks and goofy outfits, he couldn't quite take it seriously.

    At least his favourite Cleaner, the blondie with the stick, always showed him a good time! Wonder how he looks under there!

    or: secret identity (but not really) shenanigans

    Summary

    Staying up late has its downsides when you're a kid, and Jabber heard all of the reasons he shouldn't have a messed up sleep schedule. But if he slept early he wouldn't have ever met a boy that lived across the world in a completely different country and culture. Online friends also had their downsides, but if Jabber never played video games he would have never met Zanka Nijiku.
