    Summary

    In the work contract that everyone signs once they join the Cleaners, there is a clause, more of a warning, really, written in capital letters and highlighted in neon yellow, which states the organization bears no responsibility in the event of a possible, horrible, disastrous, and brutal death. Enjin thinks it’s not that bad. At least they have dental insurance.

    OR: Rudo is The Death, and he can be bribed with candy.

    Summary

    Rudo had an unfortunate night of no sleep due to the overwhelming thoughts of his past experiences. He laid in his bed, staring at the ceiling, willing himself to wake up to Regto telling him to get up. That never happens, instead getting jolted from his bed as the staff wielder slammed open his door. This mission was going to be a pain in his ass.

    Especially when he sees a familiar face in the crowd of strangers.

    Summary

    “Like I said, I forget how old you are sometimes. When you first came down you were strong, and aggressive, and… infuriating.”

    … yeah that was fair. Rudo had been loud and demanding. But to be fair again, his dad had just gotten murdered and he’d gotten blamed for it and thrown off the sphere and was attacked by giant trash monsters.

    or

    Rudo has been through some stuff. Would it kill someone give this child a hug every once in a while?

    Summary

    So… Enjin knows himself, and he knows he is not someone suited to dealing with children. Piercing cries, overwhelming tantrums, and the strange language they seem to speak all confuse him, wear down his patience, and -at worst- make him feel useless and out of place. And yet, through a series of unforeseen incidents, he ends up becoming the babysitter of the youngest member of the Akuta team.

    OR; Rudo turns into a four-year-old child.

    Rudo has a particularly messy flare-up. Consciously, this should be kept to himself. His subconscious disagrees.

    Summary

    There was a fuzzy feeling in Rudo's chest. Maybe he would finally get some good sleep for the first time in what seemed like forever. In the dark, his half-lidded eyes looked at Zanka's profile. The windows beside the bed let in enough light for him to see the rough edges of his brow, the tip of his nose, and his slightly parted mouth. His breathing was low and even; the inhale and exhale of another person calmed him down. He wanted to do this again…

    Zanka takes one for the team and sacrifices his sleep schedule to guilt-trip Rudo into going to bed early. The only issue is that it doesn't do anything.

    Summary

    Living in a completely new environment doesn't hit hard at first.

    It's in the little things that one can be lost the most - habits, informations, ideas, images : those are the one where a simple differences can take you out of your world and realise you truly are a fish out of the water.

    All it can take is one drawing.

    Aka; Rudo draws with Remlin again, but it doesn't end the best. Or maybe it does.

    Summary

    Zanka smiles— lax, warm, appreciative in a quiet way that Rudo wants to mimic so bad. The corner of his lips twitch.

    Whenever Rudo smiles, it is not effortless. It does not come natural, not the way Zanka's smiles seem to be. Maybe with time, with effort, they will be.

    // Rudo thinking about the smiles of his friends, putting more attention to Zanka's.

    Summary

    Zanka always held his head high, when on the battlefield- he was regarded with strength and logical analysis that Rudo wished to one day achieve.

    When relaxing in the cleaners headquarters, Zanka seemed just as uptight- strung tightly as if one wrong move would have him kicked out to the poisoned lands of No-Mans land.

    But, as Rudo’s stay at headquarters became longer and longer, he noticed the small reprieves Zanka gave himself. The days he would relax his shoulders, reluctantly ask for help, and seemingly crowd around his pack.

    Rudo had never been in a proper pack. As much as he loved Regto, he wouldn’t call what they had an actual pack. Enjin and Riyo had said they already think of him as part of their pack- but it was ultimately up to Zanka to bring him in.

    He was just waiting for that.

    Summary

    The stranger moved his hand to his staff. "Yer not gonna bite my fingers off if I untie ya, right?"
    "… Did you tie me up because you thought I was going to eat you?"
    "Kinda."
    Pfft, that's hilarious. "Wow, and here I thought you were cool." Rudo mocks, because an amused voice is about as close to laughing as he's ever been able to get.

    - or - Regto gets taken by the apostles, causing Rudo to be left all alone at 8 and eventually thrown in the pit at 10 instead of 15. This changes nothing and everything.

    - or - Enjin tries to take in one kid named Zanka, not knowing the kid is a tragic orphan magnet. Now he's a single father of five.

    In a world where a dragons power is measured by color, white means nothing.

    The Cleaners hear a rumor that the Death Dragon is the cause of the trash beasts, so they are tasked with dealing with the only known living dragon that fell from the heavens.

    How were they supposed to predict a white haired boy ruining their plans after stealing their food?

    Summary

    Rudo forced himself to sink his teeth in his flesh over and over again until skin broke and blood pooled, trickling down his forearms just so he could rip his skin back to reach atrophied muscles and brittle bones because his parents did not provide him with anything.

    Not even the proper tools—a knife, scissors, anything really, would have helped—to mutilate himself and this vicious, life-sucking, love hungry plague that they cursed him with.

    He would not stop, not for himself, not even for Regto.

    “Please, Rudo—why are you doing this? You need to stop—”

    Rudo had to do it.

    Regto’s begging would not dissuade him.

    He had to.

    It was the only way he knew that would lull the pain to sleep.

    Summary

    Rudo and Regto are banished to the pits when he is only ten years old after they are framed for murder. They land in a garbage field of poison air, trash beasts, and a future scraped together from whatever they can salvage.

    Every item is important to Rudo. Nothing was trash to him. He'd repurpose it all if he could help it. How was he supposed to know that the items seemed to care about him, too?

    Or.. Regto does everything he can for Rudo on the ground even if it means risking it all when they join the Cleaners.

    Summary

    Fighting trash beasts is dangerous, being a Cleaner, let alone being a Giver, is also dangerous. Then again, anything about the ground is dangerous. But that never stopped Enjin from genuinely falling in love. With a man nonetheless. He’d always suspected himself to be bisexual but with a woman preference.

    Something about Gris just made Enjin want to explode, in a good way. Although it was a bit rocky, here the two are, considered the “old men yaoi” of the Cleaners even though they both aren’t even that old. It’s sort of endearing to be supported in such a way though.

    It’s when Rudo enters the picture that things get interesting. Enjin and Gris only hid their relationship in their beginning stages, but now that they’ve been together for who knows how long? They don’t hide anything. But then Rudo goes and looks at them weirdly. Enjin can’t help but get amusement from that, is the kid homophobic? Definitely interesting coming from a spherite.

    Gris, the cool headed of the two, simply suggests that maybe Rudo doesn’t know about certain things. So of course Enjin had to get to the bottom of it.

     

    TLDR

    Engris adopt Rudo, teach him things, and spoil him with sweets
