Something Stolas learned about dating (officially dating, not just transactional bang buddies!) Blitz is that subtlety goes right over the imp’s head. Implying, insinuating, indicating doesn’t work. He needs to be hit in the head with an informative brick for him to understand what’s going on relationship-wise. It was a steep learning curve for the Goetia prince who was used to using flowery, gentle language and now had to be blunt and to the point.
Blitz was worth it though. Getting past his walls and into his heart had been a challenge with delightful results. Seeing his cynical gaze soften into tender looks gave him a thrill that was often better than the sex.
Although the sex was still fantastic.
Now that their relationship has made it to the one-year stage, Stolas was determined to give Blitz something meaningful, something that wasn’t sex related nor work related.
He’d scour the shops and nothing appealed. He asked Loona, Moxxie and Millie for ideas that would please him.
Millie suddenly grinned. “Unless you can get him a horse, I can’t think of anything else.”
Loona noticed the thoughtful expression on the prince’s face. “Don’t you fucking dare bring a full-sized horse into the apartment!”
She meant it and she was scary, so he didn’t want to raise her ire. “Very well, no horse.” He promised.

Blitz had listened to Stolas’ request and got him the bracelet with their names written on it for their anniversary. He’d loved it instantly, put it on and pounced on his sexy imp immediately. They’d gone to a hotel for a romantic night and Blitz had assumed the sexy piece of pink lingerie with matching handcuffs that Stolas had worn for him was his anniversary present and he allowed him to think that until the actual gift finally arrived.
Stolas had managed to sneak the gift into the I.M.P. workplace and into Blitz’s office specifically. When the team returned from a mission they were all mildly surprised to see him there. He’d just closed the door to the office and looked like a deer caught in the headlights.
“Hey babe.” Blitz said with a smile. “What brings you to our neck of the woods?”
“Do I need a reason to come and visit my boyfriend?” Stolas replied, thinking himself very clever until a soft snort came from behind him.
Moxxie made a face, “What was that?”
The sound of something moving from inside the office could be heard.
“What was that??” Millie emphasized.
Loona sniffed the air and suddenly glared at the owl. “You fucking didn’t!”
He really shouldn’t be scared of Blitz’s daughter. He was a prince for fuck’s sakes! “I might’ve fucking did!”
“You might’ve fucking did what?” Blitz asked, interrupting the stare down.
Stolas smiled. “I might’ve fucking gotten you something for our anniversary that I thought you’d really enjoy.”
“I thought you did?” He recalled with a wicked grin.
“It’s even better!”
“I doubt anything could be better than you in that pink-” Stolas immediately yanked the door open to reveal the gift and Blitz immediately shouted, “-Oh Satan’s taint is that a fucking horse??!?!”
“Close! A pony! House broken!” the prince said proudly.
The pony was small with a blue-grey coat and white flames. There were white spots along its neck and flanks. The name “Hijinx” was written on the blanket thrown over it’s petite but sturdy frame.
Blitz was immediately in love with the little guy and without hesitation ran to give it a hug. “I can’t believe you got me a horse!”
“Technically it’s a pony.” Moxxie retorted.
“Shut up!” He commanded as he began to pet the creature who was sweet and docile. His eyes went large and heart-shaped and he was already baby talking to it.
“Aw, isn’t it the cutest!” Millie gushed. “Where’d you get him?”
“I learned in the human world that they had something they referred to as therapy pets and I wondered if they came in pony size. Luckily one place in Wrath had such a thing! His name is Hijinx and he’s been trained to be a positive reinforcement for their owner.”
“Ugh I hate you so much right now.” Loona whined as she watched her dad stroke, pet and kiss the critter. “How are we going to live in that shitty apartment with a pony??”
“Oh I thought of that! He’ll stay with me since I have a big yard and I’ll send him to Blitz at the office or whenever he wants him! I do hope you plan to walk him, darling.”
Blitz only nodded as he cradled the head of the pony in his arms, already zoned out into a happy bliss. “Stolas?” He nearly sang out.
“Yes dearest?” He replied pleased by how delighted he looked.
“Marry me.”
Stolas’ legs immediately gave out and he fell to the floor in shock, landing on Moxxie.
“Honey! You alright?!” Millie asked in concern.
Moxxie crawled out from underneath the prince. “Yeah, he’s surprisingly light.”
Blitz, startled, went over his boyfriend’s side. “Uh babe? You alright?”
Long arms wrapped themselves over his neck and red eyes popped open. “Yes, my love!” He declared before pulling him down for a hot kiss.
The I.M.P. crew looked at them awkwardly as they made out on the floor.
“Are you two going to keep at this?” Loona asked.
Stolas’ hat went flying, as did Blitz’s jacket and gun.
“I think the answer is yes.” Moxxie replied.
Loona covered her eyes. “I’m going to lunch!”
“Maybe we should too,” he took his wife’s hand and began to lead her out as the sound of a zipper going down could be audibly heard.
Millie happily followed, then gestured towards the pony. “Come on, Hijinx, let’s get you something to eat while your new owners fuck a hole into the floor.”
Hijinx obediently followed the couple out.

The pony soon became the unofficial mascot of I.M.P. patiently walking around the office giving affection and receiving plenty, especially Blitz who cuddled and spoiled the pony rotten. He had a chest full of little outfits and toys and knew who had a treat hidden in their pocket for him. Loona thought her dad was ridiculous, but at least to his credit, he took very good care of the animal.
As for Stolas, the pony improved their relationship greatly. Hijinx almost always put Blitz in a good mood which resulted in a happy, horny boyfriend and a satisfied prince. So as they lay in bed, recovering after another invigorating fuck-a-thon, Stolas briefly wondered if it would be worth pissing Loona off if he got Blitz another pony.
