Chapter Text
“Just make yourself at home, Boss.” Porter Gage drawled as he sat on one of the bar stools, ignoring the trash around him as he sipped a Nuka Wild. Lilly looked around the patio of Fizztop, taking in the colossal mess.
It was a large area, surrounded by mostly intact windows. Surprisingly there were only a handful busted. One of those broken windows led to the rickety lift that Lilly had stepped off of moments earlier. She glanced around the room, her hand finding comfort in the soft fur between Dogmeat’s ears.
The Fizztop Grille had been turned into a living area and an Overboss’s headquarters. In the far right corner, there was a platform holding a large bed. The platform was a mess of dressers, side tables, and other containers to hold plenty of junk. Beside the platform was a large desk. The desk was a messy pile of chems and papers, an old terminal sitting in the middle, dividing the clutter like a ship at sea. Lilly decided she didn’t want to fuck with that quite yet, putting the terminal on a back burner for now.
She continued to take in the rest of the room. A power armor station sat to the left of the desk, tools and miscellaneous objects like scrap and screws sat scattered messily on the floor beside it. Lilly kicked a bolt with the toe of her boot, the small piece of metal knocking against one of the creepy mannequins with a loud ‘clang’.
Lilly walked to the center of the room, running her self-manicured fingers along the dirty top of the large horseshoe-shaped bar. The bar had clearly been the main appeal of the patio. It took up almost the entire center of the room, numerous bar stools surrounding it. The inside of the bar was full of stocked shelves, catching Lilly’s attention almost immediately.
Lilly glanced at the shelves on the inside of the bar, frowning to find it was mostly Nuka Cola and some handmade alcohol that was bottled in old wine bottles. She uncorked one of the bottles, giving it a quick sniff. Lilly gagged at the scent that assaulted her nostrils, already able to tell that the alcohol inside was of poor quality. “I see someone around here makes their own alcohol.” Lilly sneered at the bottle, corking it back. “Is it filtered through an old car radiator?” Gage laughed, Lilly noticing that his eye crinkled a bit at the crease when he smiled.
Gage crossed his arms and leaned on the bar, his posture relaxed as he joked back with her. “I actually think it might be a tractor.” Lilly raised her eyebrows at him, giving Gage one last smirk that he returned “Oh even better!” She spoke sarcastically, putting the bottle back in the spot she found it. She actually wanted to try the homemade raider booze, but decided to try it later in case it had a bit more of a kick than she was expecting.
There was a sink in the bar that appeared functional, but when Lilly turned the handle nothing happened. Gage was watching her fiddle with the sink, amusement on his sun kissed face. The raider seemed like he wanted to say something, probably something teasing and cocky, but he kept his lips sealed.
She turned away from him to open a cabinet within the bar, finding more booze and soda, along with some junk food. The bar itself seemed fully stocked, but it was covered in and full of dirty dishes, empty bottles, spent chems, and just straight-up trash.
To the right of the lift entrance was a dirty little seating area. All but two old diner booths had been ripped out. Now, three large couches, too many tables, and a couple of chairs take up the remaining space. The numerous end tables and coffee tables were littered with trash. The old carpets that rested underneath them were long ruined by spilled alcohol, nuclear apocalypse, and cigarette ash. Most of the trash was cigarette butts, and the multiple ashtrays were overflowing.
To the left of the bar was a storage area, a handful of shelves, and cabinets surrounding some old counters. It was full of a variety of Nuka Colas and snacks, along with a shitton of alcohol and cigarettes. But no chems. Lilly just knew Colter has an old stash somewhere in this place.
In front of the storage, someone had ripped out the rest of the diner seating and replaced it with a massive wooden table, and matching chairs. Must be where meetings are held, or maybe it was where Colter had sat and snorted crushed Buffout.
On the edge of the patio by the windows, there was more seating, facing out toward the beautiful view. Lilly looked out at Nuka World, taking in the sights. Dogmeat nosed at her hand, the large dog sitting by her hip. She scratched his head, lost in thought until the words of Gage pulled her back to reality.
“Nice view, ain’t it?” Lilly turned to look at Gage, finding that he was turned from the bar and watching her. He was still on the barstool, his legs spread and back leaning against the bartop.
She could stare at him all day, especially at his muscular arms. One of his hands was wrapped tightly around the bottle of Nuka Cola, the other spread out on his thigh. She tried to pull her mind away from his large hands and muscular thighs, trying her best to work up a reply.
“I can’t imagine the sunsets, I bet they’re stunning.” She turned back towards the view, Gage speaking from behind her, his voice steady but his accent holding a hint of something. “You have no idea.” Lilly would almost say he sounded flirty, but she pulled her mind from that thought quickly.
Lilly moved on from the view towards the less appealing parts of the old restaurant.
There was more creepy animatronics than she cared to count, some even twitching now and then. Dogmeat had left her side to sniff around the entrance to the inside part of Fizztop. An animatronic by the entrance twitched, sparks flying from its joints. Dogmeat let out an alarmed noise, almost jumping out of his fur. Dogmeat rushed from the animatronic to her side, trying to act tough by growling despite the fact that he was scared.
“It’s okay buddy.” Lilly spoke with a frown, the dog seeking comfort by pressing against her thigh. “I know these things are creepy.” Lilly whispered to Dogmeat, petting his fur that was now standing on end.
The dog slowly relaxed, Lilly moving on when he calmed enough to drop his raised hackles. She motioned at one of the couches, “Go lay down boy, go relax.” The dog moved without hesitation, hopping up on the couch that was covered in the least amount of laundry and trash.
Lilly walked around a pile of junk, kicking a stack of potato crisp cans over, scattering them all across the cigarette butt covered floor. She glared at the piles of trash, mentally preparing herself to clean it all. If she was going to live here, it wasn’t going to be like this.
The entire place was a disgusting mess, but what bothered her most of all? The smell.
It smelled like unwashed raider and dumpster, with that lovely touch of cigarettes and spilled booze. With a sprinkle of vomit and piss. The smell reminded her of some of her pre war days, those bad days of doing shitty homemade Jet in some sketchy punk's basement with a group of her fellow runaways.
Her face must have expressed her disgust, causing Porter Gage to chuckle, “Horrible ain’t it? Colter had shit taste, I’ll help you clean this shithole up no problem.” Lilly sighed in relief and smiled at him, Gage looking away from her quickly. He stared at his drink with a scowl, he had no idea why he said that. He hated cleaning…well anything. Maybe he just wanted to get on her good side? Yeah, that was it! …..Well no, he never stepped out of his way to do anything nice for anybody. Let alone clean something….. Her pretty voice yanked him from his thoughts before he went down the rabbit hole of his reasoning and morals.
“I really appreciate that.” She walked towards the bed, wrinkling her nose and stepping away when she reached the bedside. “Did he ever bathe?? Those mattresses fucking reek. And that is saying something in this world.” She sneered, walking off the platform. Gage barked a laugh, “No he wasn’t a big fan of washing. We can drag them out now if you want?” She waved her hand dismissively, “Later.” Gage nodded, internally scolding himself for being so damn helpful.
Lilly sighed, it would take a lot to clean this place up. She knew Gage would help, but right now she was too tired to really want to fuck with cleaning. A long train ride and then fighting her ass off had made her tired. Dogmeat was too, the dog was lying on an old couch just snoozing away.
She ran a tired hand across her face and grimaced at her hand when she saw the dirt she wiped off. Lilly still hadn’t gotten used to the constantly being filthy part of the apocalypse. Her old-world ways were to stay clean and to keep things neat and orderly, and man did old habits die hard. “Does this place have anywhere where I can wash?” Lilly asked, Gage nodding and pointing at the doors leading to the old restaurant. “Yeah there's a shower and a big tub, but the water is going to be cold until the power is back on. If you want a warm bath there's a big-ass pot if you wanna boil some water.” Lilly nodded, a hot bath sounded wonderful but she just needed a quick shower. “Cold is better than nothing when it comes to a shower. Where is it?”
“Shit, Boss I didn’t even give you a tour of this place did I?” The raider moved to get up but stopped when Lilly shrugged, “Don’t worry about it right now. I figured you were going to show me around when we cleaned this place up. After I shower and take a nap of course.” Gage was a bit surprised at her words, she was very trusting to sleep in a town full of raiders who she just met and became boss of. Gage would protect her of course, she was his only chance for success. If she fucked up they went down together.
Gage nodded, “Yeah I can do that. The shower is just in there, there will be two doors. It's the door to the left that isn’t locked, the other door leads to my room.” Lilly nodded and retreated into the old restaurant, ignoring how much of a mess it was as she went towards the bathroom. When she stepped inside the bathroom she was shocked that it was the cleanest part of Fizztop, and it wasn’t even that clean! By the looks of the raider dust and blood caked to Gage, and just the overall fact that she could still smell Colter, she assumed it was because of disuse.
Someone had ripped out the few stalls and toilets and dragged a large bathtub in. There was a working sink by the door and in the corner there was a shower head screwed into the wall with handles below it, whoever had built the shower had the courtesy to put a drain in the floor. The floor under the shower head was covered in rubber mats so no one would slip on the wet tile.
After a freezing shower and stealing hardly used soap, she took a hit of Jet and returned to the patio. She found Gage exactly where she had left him, but this time he had a dismantled hand-made rifle in front of him.
He stopped cleaning the gun to watch her grab some junk food from behind the bar, a box of snack cakes. He also noticed a certain jitteriness about her, one that was common with Jet addiction. Gage wasn’t stupid, he had seen Lilly use chems like Psycho and Jet the entire fight with Colter, knowing she was sure to be an addict. She clearly wanted to keep that hidden, doing her chems in a different room to prevent him seeing. She more than likely knew that he knew, and just didn’t feel like hearing his opinions quite yet.
Lilly watched Gage as she ate. She couldn’t tell if he was agitated or if that was just his face and body language, but it was hard to read a person you only just met. Lilly figured she wouldn’t understand him until he laid all his cards on the table. When he did that she’d do the same, if not first.
She napped on the couch with Dogmeat for a bit after she ate, the sun just now high in the sky. Gage tinkered with his gun, facing her so he could watch for any threats, just in case.
The scowl that had been on her face since the moment she had the honor of smelling Nuka World had disappeared in her sleep, her face peaceful. Gage squinted his good eye a bit as he watched her, studying her face. She had round cheeks covered in freckles, her face only had a few scars, none seeming too nasty or visible. Now that he got a good look at her he realized Lilly and her clothes seemed a bit too neat and clean for your typical wastelander. Her hair was the shiniest he had ever seen, and her scars all looked a bit too fresh.
She seemed to like being clean and organized, hell her teeth were even white. She looked out of place, but yet some part of her seemed right at home. When Colter’s blood had coated her face she didn’t flinch. When she yanked off his helmet and sliced his head off with an ax, screaming as she held his head high in the air, Gage knew she was the perfect match for Nuka World. Lilly was a special force of nature, she could use a knife and gun with no problem, seeming to be an expert with certain weapons like her pistol. But something was just off about her, she looked out of place regardless of her fighting abilities. She just didn’t seem like a typical raider to him.
Gage scowled as he pulled his gun apart, he couldn’t help but wonder about her. He suddenly wanted to know her story, he wanted to hear it all. He usually didn’t give a single fuck about anyone or their little crybaby backstories, but there was something different about her. Something about her that pulled him in, and he can’t quite put his finger on why. Hell, maybe it was the tight pants and the fact that she had all of her teeth. Or maybe it was the fact that she has taken everything thrown at her so far, in stride.
He suddenly found himself wanting to impress her. He didn’t know why, he didn’t owe anybody shit. He didn’t have to impress her, she already seemed to listen to him and trust his judgment. He had no idea why she already seemed to trust him a little, but he wasn’t going to complain about it like some fool. He hasn’t figured her out yet, but they’d have plenty of time together so he wasn’t worried. Gage sighed and scratched at the stubble on his cheek, his eye focused on the form of the sleeping Overboss, her loyal mutt stretched out beside her, the boss’s arm slung over the fluffy killing machine.
He shook his head and looked back at his weapon. Women always confused him. They usually made him do anything but think, but this one was making him think way too much. He hated that, he already had enough shit to think about without a pretty woman invading his thoughts.
He suddenly felt the need to shower and change into different clothes. Preferably something that didn’t reek, which would be tough since Gage never bothered doing laundry. Gage cursed quietly to himself, in all of his years he was never a self-conscious man. He never gave a fuck about what people thought, he would just pretend to so people in power would listen to him. But her? He wanted her to think good of him and trust him. And not just so he could manipulate her.
He didn’t know why actually……. He rubbed his good eye aggressively with his palm until he saw black spots, a quiet sigh leaving him. He didn’t understand it. Gage was starting to get a headache now, he rubbed his temples in an attempt to relieve it. Stupid woman, making him look into himself like he gives a fuck. It disgusted and confused him.
He tried to work on his gun and not give in to his thoughts. Fighting himself internally for a few minutes before giving up. He dropped his gun and shoved away from the bar, grumbling to himself as he walked into the old restaurant.
Lilly woke up about an hour later, Gage pretending to be too enthralled by his gun to notice her watching him. But of course he knew, he could feel her heated gaze staring holes into him.
Gage had removed his armor and put on different clothes, it looked like he had showered too. He was now wearing an old red Nuka World shirt filled with old rips and tears, and an old pair of black jeans. The shirt was covered in grease from whatever Gage tinkered with daily, and by the looks of it, it seemed to be mostly guns and armor.
As she watched him she saw the way his rough hands moved as he tinkered with the pieces of his gun. The way his large muscular arms moved, scars and tattoos littering his tanned skin. He wasn’t covered in a thick layer of raider dust anymore either, so she could see his skin better. She hadn’t even noticed his numerous tattoos until now, his right arm a complete sleeve, with only a few tats scattered on his left arm. He was scowling at the gun in front of him, his teeth slightly barred in frustration as he tried to screw in a very small screw. He was too far away to deeply study his face, but she could see stubble and a handful of scars. His eyebrows were pinched together, his left eye squinted. His right eye was hidden under a leather eyepatch, a hint of a jagged scar peeking out and continuing through his eyebrow. She’d have to ask him how he lost his eye once she got to know him better, she guessed it was a sensitive subject. You don’t get a big ass scar like that without a dose of trauma.
The screw fell out again, Gage cursing quietly to himself. Lilly wondered how much his vision was impacted by missing an eye.
She cleared her throat to get his attention.
He looked up immediately, his features softening slightly at the sight of her. Before she could say anything he spoke, “Boss, where you from?” She sat there for a moment, debating how she was going to answer, and then she stood up and walked to her pack, digging through it. “I ....Long story short I’m from a vault.” No one ever believed her so carried around the suit as proof, it also came in handy sometimes. She pulled a bright blue vault suit from her bag, tossing it at him. Gage caught it in a strong fist, holding it up in two hands to look at the numbers on the back.
“I’m pre-war,” Gage looked up from the suit to her eyes, his eyebrows raised in shock, when he didn’t say anything she continued. “Insane, right? I’m old and not a ghoul, lucky right?” Before he could respond she responded to herself, “Not really. My skin is smooth at a cost. They froze us, I only thawed out a few months ago.” She took the suit back from speechless Gage, folding it as she walked to her bag.
She frowned as she shoved it back into her bag aggressively. Dogmeat threw himself against her leg and licked at her hand. She rubbed him between his ears, the dog wiping the frown off her face immediately, her tone shifting to a more positive note. “The suit has some decent rad protection, I only wear it when things get a little green.” She continued to pet Dogmeat, watching the gears turn in Gage’s head.
It took Gage a moment to reply, a lot was going through his mind. It made a lot of sense, she was so clean and built in a way he’d only ever seen in old pre-war magazines. She wasn’t gaunt and skinny like everyone else, she was thick and built. She had thick muscular legs and wide hips, large breasts, and a perfect ass that Gage desperately wanted to grab. Her stomach and arms were toned by the brutality of the commonwealth. She was tall too, around the same height as Gage, and he was only six feet tall. He wasn’t a nearly seven-foot-tall monster like Mason, but he was still considered tall. Not too many had the luck of being fed well enough as a child to grow tall and strong.
Little did Gage know, he was built in a way that had Lilly staring, she rarely saw men like this before the war. Gage was a big guy and seemed to be only muscle. He was skinny but somehow still muscular. He had wide shoulders and narrow hips, his lean muscular legs hugged by the black jeans. His waist was so small the belt that was holding up his jeans was loose and hanging off his hips, struggling to keep the worn pants on his hips.
His shoulders and biceps were large, the veins visible along his arms and hands. His tattoos were very visible against his massive arm muscles. He clearly had no body fat, with no ass in sight and his facial structure very visible. His jagged cheekbones looked like they would cut her if she touched them. His nose had been broken way too many times, the bridge crooked. It seemed like some of the structural cartilage had been badly damaged beyond repair, the bridge littered with tiny scars. The tight Nuka World shirt hugged his large pectorals and stretched over his wide shoulders tautly, the sleeves straining around his biceps. The shirt also hugged his toned stomach. He had a thick neck, the tendons very visible. Lilly just wanted to run her tongue along them.
They had both been silent for way too long, just staring at one another. Gage was the one to pull them out of it.
“I...Holy shit Boss.” Lilly nodded, shrugging it off “Yeah. There's a lot more to it, but we can learn each other's stories another day.” She winked and picked up a broom she had found in a dusty corner. “For now, talk to me about the gangs and everything there is to know about this place. I plan on meeting them tomorrow, then that's when the real work starts.” Gage grinned, “The plannin’ kind….. My kind of Gal.”
They, well mostly Lilly, got to work cleaning up Fizztop, Dogmeat watching them from his position on the couch. Gage and Lilly talked the entire time, mainly about Nuka world. When she asked him to describe the gangs he paused, “Most of them are… hard to explain and you’ll learn why when you meet ‘em, but I’ll try my best. The Pack is full of a bunch of wild animals, literally and figuratively, but some can be tolerable people. Mason, their leader, he’ll surprise you. Got no idea how he keeps them all on a leash. He’s a good friend of mine, he’s got a good head on his shoulders. Makes the best alcohol in this place, if you’re the drinkin’ type..” Lilly just listened as Gage talked, the drawl in his voice pulling Lilly in. She could listen to him talk about anything for hours.
He continued to explain what the pack stood for. What she understood is the Pack kind of follows a wild animal pack system way of life. So members and their animals/pets are one big family, and family came first, of course in a tough love wild animal way. Then dominance, territory, and of course fighting. Interesting…. “Just show some teeth, Boss. They also love elaborate pranks and public humiliation, that's probably the easiest way to get them to tolerate you. Oh that and….” Gage hesitated and looked at the sleeping dog, “It’s Dogmeat.” The mutt looked up from his dead sleep when she said his name, Gage cocking an eyebrow, “Seriously? Alright….. Well, I assume you bring the mutt everywhere with ya?” Lilly nods, that perky smile on her face. Gage continued “When you meet everyone bring him to meet Mason. The one thing The Pack loves more than violence is animals. They all got pets and shit that follows ‘em around, just like your pooch.” Gage said, his voice not even straining as he dragged one of the nasty old mattresses to the growing pile of shit on the lift. He wiped his hands on his pants and grimaced when he dropped the old bed.
He picked up the closest animatronic next. Dogmeat watched him, his head resting on his paws as his tail thumping loudly against the couch. Gage tried not to look at the staring dog, the intelligence in Dogmeat’s eyes almost unnerving.
Lilly was going through all of Colter’s old stuff as Gage dragged animatronics to the lift, adding them to the pile. “The disciples are cheerful as long as they’re covered in blood. Just assure Nisha, their leader, that they’ll get to kill plenty of shit and cause plenty of suffering. And lots of things to do, they hate being bored.” He ended his sentence by dropping an animatronic over the lift, the old machine hitting the ground with a crash, Gage watching with satisfaction as the old thing broke into pieces.
Lill nodded, picking up an empty tin of mentats. She shook the tin and frowned at the lack of sound. “They’re the ones who mostly use knives right?” Gage nodded, watching her toss the tin into the pile of trash “Yep, anything that’ll make you bleed. They use all homemade weaponry and blades too, the psychopaths can get real creative. They’ve made some really nasty weapons. Suffering is the fun part for them.” He spoke so casually, like he was simply talking about a sports team.
Lilly blew out a breath, “Shouldn’t be too hard to impress them then.” Gage chuckled, looking at her. ”Not at all. Raiders ain’t real hard to entertain and impress.” Gage dropped another animatronic to the growing pile.
As he got the last of the animatronics Lilly was rearranging some ammo and medical supplies in some old crates.
“Gage?” “yes boss?” Lilly sighed as she looked around, “Why are there so many fucking couches in one living space? Did he have a lot of parties?” Gage snorted in amusement and shook his head, “Hell no, everyone hated the guy. I think Colter thought he was going to have a lot of parties.” A smirk sneaked onto his face, a bit of anger flashing in his eyes at the thought of Colter. “That or he liked to have a different couch to sit his lazy ass on for every day of the week.” Lilly laughed with him, getting quite the image of the kind of man that Colter was.
Lilly was already in the bar by the time Gage cleared out the numerous animatronics. She had gotten most of the drinks, alcohol, dishes, and cups that had been strewn about the patio and was putting them onto proper organized shelves. She sure did like things to be neat. She looked up at Gage who was leaning against the bar, watching her with a smirk on his face. “What?” She asked with mock offense.”Old habits die hard….. I like my shit where I can find it! It can’t just be strewn about…. We may be a bunch of savages and murderers but I draw the line at disorganization. Especially in my own house.” Gage put his hands up in mock surrender, “Wasn’t judging Boss, just observing.” He spoke the last word with a hint of flirtation, drawing out the word with that accent of his.
He turned around and headed towards the power armor station. After a year of straight-up no organization and absolutely no progress, this new Overboss with a set of balls would take some getting used to. He just hoped this was going to be the last time he had to clean anything.
She began to talk about how the world before the war was a clean, yet disgusting one. A world with people not so different from the ones of today. Gage was kneeled by the power armor station, putting all the tools away into an old toolbox. He scolded himself at first for doing such a useless task, but he still didn’t stop. He figured it was something mindless to do as he and Lilly talked, and he enjoyed that. Plus, Dogmeat was helping him by sitting by him and sniffing every tool that he put away. Gage found himself liking the mutt, sneaking him scratches when he thought Lilly wasn’t paying attention.
Gage had never been a big fan of dogs, mainly because he had mostly bad experiences with them. From trained attack dogs to the vicious wild curs of the wastelands, they had all been rather unfriendly in his experience.
“We never talked about the Operators.” She said, looking through yet another box of Colter’s shit. “Oh right…The Operators are all about caps and looking nice. They like being clean like you. But what they really love is money and nice hair. That and good aim, you’ll see them practicing their shooting more than any of the other gangs. They got some members with real good skills. Not just shooting either, a lot of them enjoy tinkering with technology and shit. But yet they always seem to be fucking bored, I’m sure once we take the park they’ll look bored the entire time. ” Gage walked over to her and lit up a cigarette, offering it to Lilly, She happily accepted and he lit up another to smoke himself.
“They don’t seem like a very expressive group.” Lilly spoke, taking a long drag off her cigarette, “Not at all. They’re a miserable bunch of bastards, but keep them swimmin’ in caps and they’ll be happy. Maybe if they get rich enough you’ll see a twinkle in William's dumb soulless eyes. But I doubt it.” Lilly laughed and took a drag, she had a good feeling about meeting these leaders tomorrow.
Gage was leaning on the bar now, his arms crossed on the scratched bartop, “This place, these gangs, and us at the head of it all? It’s got real potential, boss.” Lilly sat on a stool beside him, Gage continuing; “Not every raider here is a drugged-up piece of shit with no foresight…. Well, most of them are. But some are here to get shit done and create, make weapons, explosives, make drugs and alcohol, build fortifications, and other things. Some real great things can come out of taking over more territory and putting these people to fucking work. some of ‘em’ out there? They got real good skills.”
Lilly smiled at Gage’s little speech, “It's good to know there's a lot of unique minds in this place, that’ll make turning this shithole into a raider kingdom a lot easier. More possibilities, more money, and more fun. When I meet the gangs tomorrow I’ll ask about any members that have anything special to add.” Gage smiled at her words, he had a good feeling about her and her ideas, “Sounds like a plan boss.”
It didn’t take long to clean up the patio and clear out all of Colter’s old stuff that she didn’t want. She walked into the old restaurant, the small hallway leading to it from the patio filled with empty display cases and burnt paintings. After the small hallway was the main room, which used to be a dining room. Now it was a large living area. A handful of tables sat in the middle of the room, covered in tools, weapons, and just random bits and pieces of scrap. A bench press sat by some old lockers and first aid boxes. There were some handheld weights, barbells, tossed about the tables as well.
By the lockers in the far left corner, there was a doorway leading to a functional elevator. Beyond the area full of tables and tools were two doors, one to the bathroom and the other leading to Gage’s room. She assumed he had turned an old storage area into a bedroom. To the right of the doors was a platform, which had a variety of couches and chairs on it. The coffee tables and side tables were covered in cigarettes and trash, just like the sitting area outside had been. To the side, there was another power armor station, a large toolbox beside it.
Beside the platform, there was a set of doors, when Lilly opened them she saw that they led to a large prewar kitchen. A large workbench sat against the wall beside the doors, the bench and stool against it covered in bits and pieces of weapons and tools. In the kitchen, there was a chemistry station, along with a fixed-up old cooking stove that appeared to be functional. A large sink full of dishes took up a large space, the other counters fully covered by food, and ingredients, along with other supplies for cooking like spices and oils. The cabinets were fully stocked with food, purified water, and more Nuka Cola. A fridge was lying on its door in the middle of the room, the back open with wires exposed like someone had gutted it. A door in the kitchen led to a large storage area, and it was full of weapons, ammo, and chems, along with a bunch of crates and containers that she’d dig through later.
Lilly decided they’d start in the main room. When she began cleaning Gage began to explain the layout of Nuka World and its parks. Lilly felt like she could listen to this man talk forever, his southern drawl captivating to her.
Gage explained the sheer sizes of the parks, Lilly listening intently as she moved a bunch of loose tools and weapon parts onto one table instead of several. Gage was moving a bunch of weights back to their proper place on the weight rack that was attached to the wall. A bench press was right beside it, along with a large stack of rusty weight-lifting plates. As he did that he watched Dogmeat sniff everything he could in fizztop, bringing Lilly random items from time to time. Most of the time she’d just pat his head and tell him something like, “Good job! Now go put that back buddy.” And the damn hound would listen.
Once the last of his weights were away Gage turned to look at Lilly, “So there are only five parks, and with three gangs that means someone is going to get the short stick.” Lilly frowned at that, clearly thinking as she stepped around Dogmeat who decided to flop right at her feet.
Lilly hummed in her throat, picking up a bunch of loose weapon screws and putting them in a souvenir cup. “Not necessarily, there's gotta be some other locations nearby that we could dish out as territory. What’s around the outside of Nuka World?” Gage’s eyebrows shot up at her words. He hadn’t even thought of that, he figured someone would just end up unhappy and probably dead. “There's an old town on one side, but Gunners have infested that area, it’s dangerous. I think they’re building a new Gunner outpost on the freeway, scouts are having a hard time coming back alive from that direction.” Lilly huffed, another problem added to the growing list of shit to fix and kill at Nuka World.
“On the other side, there are some old farms and their buildings, along with some houses scattered about. Not much but a junkyard and this group of religious crazies. They call themselves…” The raider hesitated as he thought of the group’s name, after a second he got it, “...Uh hubologists. They’re harmless… We think, But The Pack keeps an eye on them just in case. You know, to make sure they don’t do anything stupid. That and to make sure none of the other gangs kill ‘em either since they usually have great trade. Mason told me they’re in the junkyard a lot, and that's where they get most of their stuff. They live in an old gas station or some shit, built it up into a ‘little nerd fort’ according to Mason.” Gage chuckles a little as he adds on the last part, Lilly smiling at his words.
“Is that it?” She questioned, her hands on her hips as she looked around her new home. Gage nodded, “Yeah, there's some buildings like barns scattered here and there but nothing suitable for any long-term stays. I say Bradberton and the large gas station by it may be our best bet. A couple of large buildings in the town too, and a huge hotel in the middle. But we’ll have to deal with Gunners and maybe even ferals.” Lilly nodded, tapping her blood red nails on her hips in thought.
“Once I meet all the leaders we need to do some scouting, see all these locations and the parks up close but not going in quite yet. Mainly to see what's happening and to see what area suits which group the best. Then we talk it out with them, see who wants what and what we can do with each location. If they don’t want to talk it out then they get whatever the fuck I hand them.” Gage smirked at her, “Sounds like a great plan Boss, I follow and you lead.”
The more she talked, the more she planned, and the more Gage’s interest in her grew. She was fascinating and intelligent, and it drove him insane. Little did he know the feeling was mutual. Lilly was honestly shocked by Porter Gage. He seemed like your typical asshole raider, uneducated and with a couple of screws loose. But he was intelligent and very articulate, he seemed to have a brain in that bruised head of his. He seemed to always be thinking, planning, and observing. Gage was witty and funny too, clearly full of quips. She was becoming more and more excited to spend more time with him. He was a smart man, a man she couldn’t wait to learn about.
It had taken all day but Fizz Top was finally clean and organized enough for Lilly’s liking. Gage had two Operators track down two of the best mattresses they could find, bringing them up to Fizztop to replace the nasty ones. Gage left the old mattresses and animatronics down by the bottom of the lift in a big pile, they were all gone by the next time Gage checked an hour later.
Lilly sighed at the ugly room, the blank walls much better than all the old burnt paintings. She crossed her arms and looked at Gage. “On our travels, we’ll find more decorations, I’m sure there's plenty of shit lying around here that we could find.” Gage could get used to this “we” thing. “You know, flowers always liven up a place. Find something that smells good, get that testosterone stank out of this place…… No offense.” Gage snorted and sat down at the table where she tossed all his tools and gun parts, looking in the cups full of screws and tiny parts. A good way to keep shit together, smart girl. “Awh non-taken boss, Colter smelt worse than a pack molerat. I suppose I ain’t much better myself.”
She laughs and drags a chair over, sitting on it backward so she can rest her arms on the back of it. She watched as he worked on his gun, “I can tolerate you. Now, who should I meet first tomorrow?” She asked, rubbing Dogmeat’s ears, the dog panting loudly as he rested his head on her knee. “I say, Mason, The Pack is always about being first and shit. The Operators don’t care as long as you do stop by and impress them, they don’t care when. The Disciples ... maybe see them after the pack, Nisha is only patient when it comes to watching people die slow deaths.”
Lilly nodded, resting her head on her arms, “Tomorrow is going to be a busy day” Gage leaned back in his chair and looked at her, “It sure is. Meeting the leaders will take a lot less time than scouting, that's going to take a while. This is a big place, lots of walking. It’s quicker on a mount. We could probably swipe a horse or two for scouting if you’d like.” She looked down at Dogmeat, then back at Gage with a smile. He looked away from her smile, focusing his eye back on his gun. “Horses are a good idea since we don’t have to go inside anywhere yet.” She scratched Dogmeat as she spoke, “I Can’t wait. I prefer exploring, but that’ll happen when we enter the first park. Which we’ll decide on after scouting.” Gage grunted in agreement, putting his gun back together. “You lead and I’ll follow, boss.”
Chapter Text
“Son of a bitch!” Lilly yelled, the final gatorclaw falling at her feet. She slammed Cito’s shiny slugger down onto the dead monster's skull one more time, blood painting her further as she screamed at the fallen monster. Cito mimicked her shouts, the members of his family who helped clear the park got all riled up at the yells, pounding their chests and roaring. Dogmeat joined in on the excitement, howling and bouncing around Gage’s feet. “That's right motherfuckers! Safari Adventure is clear!” Lilly screamed, holding the bloody slugger in the air.
Gage grinned, the boss got a little crazier when she was tired. Gage could tell how tired she was, they had only been running together for a few weeks, but Gage knew her body language pretty well already. He could see the dark circles under her eyes, the slump of her usually perfectly straight shoulders, the way she was moving slower. It was obvious that the Overboss was exhausted, hell, Gage was too.
The Gatorclaws had insanely thick skin, so they had to use a shit ton of bullets. It was all fine at first until they ran out of bullets. They had no other choice but to retort to melee and melee is one of the most exhausting ways to fight.
They had brought plenty of ammo and weapons, but it still wasn’t enough. Lilly ran out of ammo by the fourteenth gatorclaw, plenty of monsters left to go. Gage’s handmade rifle had better ammo capacity than Lilly’s combat rifle and pistols, he didn’t run out of ammo until the second to the last gatorclaw.
Thankfully Cito had the slugger for Lilly to take, Cito keeping to his regular sledge. Luckily Gage brought his baseball bat covered in jagged nails and thick chains, it could even stun. It was heavy but it got the job done. It was even the same color as his armor, a gift from Mason a while back. Mason called the bat “The Shocker.” Mason was laughing when he told Gage the name, when Gage didn’t laugh Mason felt the need to explain “You wouldn’t know this, see it's funny because The Shocker is when you finger a chick and-” “I fucking know what it is Mason.”
Once all the animals, and Cito, calmed down they all made their way back to the gorilla house. It's a massive stone building with two gorilla statues standing out front. Through the twin doors was a massive interior dedicated to Gorillas. There was a small stone area in the center of the room full of benches, it was the old viewing area for the cages. The doors and bars to the cages long destroyed. The cage to the left of the viewing area was the largest, full of places for the gorillas to climb and sit. Like a huge jungle gym, but everything was covered in plant growth. Flowers and vines were everywhere, some hanging and growing from the trees that had grown inside. A handful of fruit treats have managed to grow here as well, two of Cito’s family members sitting under them and munching away. The glass roof that was over this section of the cages was long gone, the rain and sun supplying the plant life. A particularly large tree in the enclosure had grown through the hole in the ceiling, its branches huge and stretching wide so the animals could climb it to the roof if they pleased.
The cage to the right had a stone roof, and in the corner, there was a homey little area behind a large fallen log. There was a large pile of food, mostly junk food, and fruit from the exotic plants that somehow managed to survive in Safari Adventure. There was a large nest made from a variety of furs, a Nuka teddy bear and plush sloth sat amongst the furs. A rouge fever blossom had grown beside his bed, lighting his area gently. An unopened Nuka Quartz sat beside the nest, lighting up the area more. Was Cito afraid of the dark? Lilly didn’t want to get too close to his sleeping spot just in case it pissed off the guy. Cito had some other things lying about in his little area, some scraps of paper lying around next to some melee weapons on a crate. He also had brought in a cut out of Cappy and some wild west chick.
The rest of the cage was mostly full of fallen logs and whatever plants the gorillas had dragged in. A couple of skylights allowed for a little bit of plant growth, the rest of the gorilla nests were in this room. But these were made out of whatever plants they could bend and beat down into a comfy little place. In the middle of this room, a large tree was dead, a couple of tires hanging from its branches.
There were tires and balls everywhere too, mostly basketballs and kickballs. She guessed they were entertaining for the Gorillas and Cito. The whole place was fascinating to Lilly. These ghoulrillas had survived for two hundred years, choosing to stay in Safari Adventure. She remembered Nuka World had quite a few gorillas before the world ended, some even knowing tricks and sign language. But now there were only six left, a massive silverback, and his lovely mutated ghoul family. Four females, a young teenage male, Cito, and an infant. Seeing a ghoulrilla baby hanging on the back of one of the females was quite a shock to Lilly.
It was quite a family. Lilly assumed Cito had been with them for a bit over twenty years, and he was a crucial part of the tribe. She grinned when the teen ran to Cito, climbing him and hanging off his massive arm with an excited hoot. Cito made a noise back, shooing the little guy along, the little guy shouted and ran to the tree holding the tires. “Aww just like a normal older sibling… Told the younger one to fuck right off.” Gage whispered to Lilly, Lilly giggling and elbowing him. “I’m sure that isn’t what he said!” Gage shrugged, “How do you know? You speak monkey boss?” Lilly laughed and shoved him away, retreating to Cito because she didn’t have a quip to shoot back at Porter.
“Thanks for all the help Cito, we couldn’t have done this without you and your family.” Cito pounded his chest with a fist, “Family and Cito are strong! Happy to fight monsters with new friends! Happy home is safe!” Lilly grinned and patted his shoulder, she adored Cito and his family. She’d spare them and make sure The Pack treated them like one of their own, if not better.
When Lilly went to say goodbye Cito yanked her into a hard hug, squeezing her against his massive frame. She let out a loud grunt when the air was knocked out of her. Gage laughed and Lilly glowered at him, Gage instantly realizing he fucked up. “Cito! Don’t forget to tell Gage bye!” Cito dropped Lilly and picked up Gage, hugging him tightly despite his armor cutting into Cito. Gage cursed and squirmed a bit, Cito dropping him and patting his head.
“Cito likes one-eyed man and purple purple-haired woman! And dog!” Dogmeat barked loudly and ran to Cito at the word dog, wagging his tail so hard his butt wiggled as Cito gave him rough-handed pets. He pulled Dogmeat up into a hug, Dogmeat happily licking Cito’s face as he squeezed the dog. “New friends!” Lilly smiled, “That’s right Cito! We’ll come visit you soon! And we’ll bring some new friends with us, they’ll treat you and your family well.” Cito grinned widely, letting go of Dogmeat who contiuned to lick at him “More friends? Cito excited!” He hugged Lilly one last time before they left.
Once out of the gorilla house Lilly rubbed her sore neck and groaned, “Let’s put that flag up and get the fuck out of here. My muscles are screaming at me right now. Mason owes me a lot of drinks for this incredible place, The Pack is going to have the time of their lives here.” Gage huffed and nodded in agreement, handing Lilly the brightly colored flag. “This place is huge Boss, they more than owe you.” Lilly nodded, groaning as she began to walk, her legs burning. “Damn right, they do. All of you motherfuckers do” She mumbled, Gage chuckling at her words. She was right.
After she put the flag up they began their walk back to fizztop. When they passed the Gatorclaw carcass by the Safari Adventure entrance Lilly kicked it harshly, “Remind me after I sleep for a few days to come back for one of these fuckers. This would make a sick ass rug, I also want its skull.” Gage stepped over the carcass as she followed her, “Yes Ma'am.”
Lilly and Gage were exhausted. Safari Adventure was one of the largest sections of Nuka World, the zoo and its many enclosures stretching for miles. It had taken them three days to find the source of, and then kill all the gatorclaws. The animals put up a tough fight, making everything more difficult. If Cito and the two gorillas hadn’t helped them fight then Gage and Lilly would either be dead, or they would have needed to call for backup.
The walk back to Fizztop was a long one, Lilly and Gage both moving a bit slowly. Dogmeat was completely unaffected, trotting ahead and sniffing everything interesting in his path. Gage and Lilly are both in great shape and could handle any fight, but nothing like fighting over twenty gatorclaws to make your muscles feel like they’re on fire. Using only melee for a long time reminded Gage of muscles he didn’t use quite as much as others. He rolled his shoulder, cursing as he did so.
“My feet are fucking killing me” Lilly grumbled, bumping her arm against Gage’s as they walked. “Mine too Boss, not much further.” They had been running together for only a little bit now, but the chemistry between them made it feel like it had been far longer. They were comfortable with each other, Gage even allowed her to touch him. Lilly was a touchy woman, even more so as their bond grew stronger, not that Gage minded one bit. It was always something small since their companionship was so fresh, like a gentle grab of the arm or the brush of her fingers on his shoulder as she passed him.
The sun had just set when they threw their packs down at Fizztop, Lilly removing her sleek black combat armor and piling it by her bag. She immediately threw herself onto the closest couch, laying on her side like that mutt of hers does when he gets too hot. She watched as Gage unclasped all of his armor. He even removed his toe guards and heavy metal eyepatch, rubbing his blind eye with his palm. Once all of his armor was piled by hers, he collapsed onto the chair across from her. Dogmeat threw himself down with a loud huff in front of Gage’s feet, leaning up against the raiders' dusty old boots.
They sat there in silence for a few minutes, Lilly debating if she wanted to shower and wash off all the dirt and blood, or just say fuck it and go to sleep. She didn’t budge though, opening her eyes to look at Gage.
By the looks of it, Gage had already given in to the exhaustion that was gnawing at his aging bones. His eyes were closed and his head was resting in his hand. He wasn’t actually asleep quite yet, he was thinking. Mostly about how his knees were aching a bit more than usual and how they’d need to restock big time on ammo and repair weapons and armor. They’d need a whole new set of dog armor if Lilly wanted a new set at all.
Lilly rarely put the dog in armor, saying it restricted how he moved and got way too hot. Plus it didn’t protect him much since he was so good at dodging, but for Safari Adventure she armored up the pooch. She just wanted the extra safety since they were going up against something with terrifying claws and teeth.
Thankfully she did. A gatorclaw had snatched him up at a weird angle, the dog squirming too much for it to get a good grip. the Gatorclaw’s teeth got stuck in the thick armor. It was shaking its head wildly in frustration, one of its arms had been crippled and the other was being held down by Cito and the Silverback so it didn’t swing its sharp claws at Dogmeat. The leather straps holding the armor broke quickly, and the dog wiggled free, saving himself before the teeth broke through the armor. Once the Gatorclaw was down, Lilly was hugging Dogmeat tightly, checking over every square inch of the mutt.
He was completely unscathed after being in the fucking mouth of a gatorclaw. Porter was astonished. He reached down to give him a few head pats, “Incredible…”
Lilly sure did have one lucky ass dog. He was full of surprises too, Gage was shocked by the mutt at least once a day.
Her voice interrupted his thoughts, Gage opened his eyes so he could see her pretty lips move as she talked. “I feel like I just got my ass kicked.” Lilly groaned, kicking off her boots and sitting up, rubbing her neck, “Everything is starting to feel extra sore.” Porter nodded, “We kind of did get the shit kicked out of us Boss, those fucking gators didn’t die easily.” Lilly nodded groaning a bit. Gage watched as she tried to soothe her overworked muscles. He wanted to help her, make her feel better.
“Guess I should go take a cold shower, I can’t wait until we get the power back on,” Lilly grumbled as she got up and walked into the old restaurant which was now their main living quarters. Gage and her would sit in there and talk for hours, Gage working on weapons, armor, or machinery. Lilly would also be working on something, from tinkering and repairing robots to planning out the park and its future, to completely cleaning and remodeling Fizztop, she’d even sew and repair clothes in her downtime. The place smelt better now that she had cleaned it up, it also really helped that Lilly cares far more about her hygiene than Colter ever did. The fact that Gage gave a fuck about his hygiene a bit now probably helped a lot too. He was still pissed about that, giving a shit just because some pretty lady had her preferences. He hated that he cared so goddamn much about what she thought, but damn did he want to keep her happy.
Gag prepared some food as Lilly showered, glowering at the fridge lying in the kitchen as he did so. He had been trying to fix it for months, and he was real close to giving up. Dogmeat was sitting practically on top of his boots, waiting for his food. “Beat it,” Gage grumbled, tossing the dog some meat that he bolted off with. “Spoiled as hell…” Gage poked his head out of the kitchen, looking at Dogmeat on his bed.
Lilly had made a little bed for the damn thing, a bright red Nuka Cola sleeping bag covered in old blankets. One blanket almost looked fluffy and not scratchy as hell. Was Gage jealous that the dog slept with better blankets than him? Yeah, yeah he fucking was.
After they both had showered, changed into more non blood-soaked clothes, and eaten, Gage and Lilly sat back down on the furniture on the Fizztop patio. Gage threw his socked feet onto the small table in front of him, watching Lilly rub her neck with a scowl.
“I can help if you want, Boss,” Gage spoke, Lilly raising an eyebrow when she didn’t understand what he meant right away. “You know, help rub out your-” Lilly began to giggle and Gage sighed, “Not like that Boss! What I was getting at was-” Lilly interrupted him, speaking in a teasing voice “Not like what?” Gage gave her an exhausted look, but he was smiling. “God dammit woman, do you want me to rub your sore muscles or not?” Lilly laughed, “Yes I would love that, sorry for giving you shit.” Gage only snorted in reply as he stood up and walked over to her.
She moved over on the couch and crossed her legs, facing the arm of the sofa so Gage could sit behind her. Gage moved her purple hair over her shoulder and began to rub her neck with his strong calloused hands. She groaned loudly and the sound went straight to his cock, Gage clenched his teeth, this was going to take a lot of sheer will.
He had no idea what he was doing, he was just rubbing where she said it was sore, digging his thumbs into the muscles until the knots disappeared. It seemed to be working just fine, Lilly relaxing under his fingers and making little noises here and there. He continued to just go with it, his hands now on her shoulders. He leaned forward a bit and caught a whiff of something sweet on her neck. Whatever it was it smelt great. He knew she smelt good, he could usually smell her fancy soaps and hair products. But this was different, it was like some kind of perfume. He had never been this close to the Overboss before, so he assumed that’s why he’d never smelt it before.
He moved down to her shoulder blades, Lilly groaning loudly. “You’re magical Gage.” Gage bit his lip as he fought down a dirty quip “Thank you, Boss. I guess ripping apart settlers with my bare hands has benefited me.” Lilly glances over her shoulder at him, “Just because Redeye claims he saw you do it doesn’t mean it happened.” Gage shrugged, “It’s a pretty great story! … I like to believe it happened.” Lilly snorts and rolls her eyes, “He’s so full of shit.” Gage smirking, “What's not believable about it Boss?” Lilly laughed loudlyy, sometimes he really tickled her, making her laugh that genuine beautiful laugh. He’d only heard it a couple of times, but damn did he want to hear that sound for the rest of his life. That along with some of the noises she was making as he rubbed her muscles. He wonders what other nice sounds he could pull from her one day.
“Gage, I don’t think Redeye has ever spoken without shit coming out of his mouth.” Gage sighed, totally not purposely blowing the air out onto her neck. She shivered a little and Gage grinned, “I have to agree with ya there Boss…. Damn Shame.” Lilly huffed and leaned back a bit into his hands, Gage catching another whiff of that stuff on her neck.
God, she was intoxicating, not just with her smell either. Just everything about her drove him insane. The more their companionship grew while cleaning out Nuka World and establishing parks, the touchier and sweeter the boss became. She called him nicknames, like “Big Guy” and “Cyclops.” He wasn’t a huge fan at first, but now he liked the nicknames and the touches. He found himself expecting it more, her little touches, the nicknames, the praise, and gentle words. Something in the back of his mind said he was going soft, weak. He usually listened, doing everything he could in his power so he wouldn’t be seen as weak. But this? Where was the weakness in befriending the overboss? Rubbing her shoulders? Maybe fucking her….. Maybe becoming more than just her right-hand man…..
He shook his head free of those thoughts, focusing on the tattoos and scars on his hands to take his mind away from the very tempting overboss. He tried to think about how much the tat on the back of his hand hurt, he really tried. He held back a sigh when it didn’t work, she was just too intoxicating in so many ways, she couldn’t stay off of Gage’s mind. When he wasn’t at her side, which was almost every waking moment, he was thinking about her.
It was different for Gage, he was never big on feelings or relationships. And for his whole life, he only focused on what benefited him directly, but this woman made him change his mind completely only a few weeks after meeting her. Gage cared about her and what happened to her, he even gave a shit about her feelings. Gage hasn’t cared about anybody or their feelings, in….. Hell, probably ever!
He never thought he would be this way with anybody. Let alone the boss he only met a few weeks ago. Their chemistry was a kind he had never felt before. He was relaxed and comfortable with her, he almost fully trusted her and Gage hadn’t trusted anybody in a long time. Just something about her and her dedication eased his mind, she was in this Nuka World thing for the long run, just like him.
Gage stopped, his hands resting on her shoulders, “Feel better yet boss?” She nodded, “Much better! Thank you, Gage.” He pushed away from her, standing up, “Oh it's no problem boss…Really.” He grabbed his pack of cigarettes and pulled one out, lighting it with his old flip lighter.
“Want me to-” Gage cut her off, “Oh naw… I’m fine Boss. Pretty tired actually.” He desperately wanted to accept the offer, but he didn’t know if he could keep his cool with her rubbing on his muscles and shit. She raised an eyebrow, “You sure?” Gage nodded and blew smoke out through his nostrils, sucking on the cigarette again.
Lilly didn’t press him, the raider moving to the doors to the restaurant, “G’night Boss.” He mumbled as he walked into the old restaurant, “Night Porter!” She called, pulling herself off of the couch.
Gage fucked his fist to the thought of the overboss that night, having no idea that on the other side of Fizztop, the Overboss was doing something similar to the thought of him.
Chapter 3: First hot bath in Fizztop(NSFW)
Summary:
Not plot just Bathtub sex
Chapter Text
The power had been on in Nuka World for two days, and the celebrations hadn’t stopped. Gage and Lilly didn’t join in on any of the fun though, they were too busy having fun of their own. They hadn’t left each other's arms since the moment they got back to Fizztop. Well, technically since the power plant. The moment the fireworks had stopped Lilly had grabbed Gage and yanked him into the hottest kiss he’s ever felt. He fucked her right there on the dusty cement floor.
“First real hot bath since the power was turned on, feels amazing.” Lilly groaned, resting her head back on Gage’s chest. He only grunted in reply, not opening his eyes. Gage sat with Lilly between his legs, Lilly holding one of his hands, fiddling with his fingers. They hadn’t had a chance to relax since the work on getting the power plant running began.
Gage was almost asleep, the warm water soothing his tired muscles and aching joints. Lilly had turned a bit so she could watch him, smiling as she did. She had never seen him this relaxed, his usually rough features softened. His stubble had become darker and a bit extreme since Gage hadn’t had the time to shave, and she couldn’t help herself, she reached a finger out and gently ran it along his cheekbone. Gage opened his eyes, the right pupil milky from whatever had caused the jagged scar cutting across it.
“What?” He smirked, Lilly shrugging, moving her hand to cup his cheek. He closed his eyes again, leaning into her hand and kissing her palm, “Oh nothing.” She mumbled, leaning in to kiss him. Porter Kissed her back, deepening the kiss. Lilly squealed when he grabbed her by her ass, yanking her into his lap, Gage chuckling before kissing her again.
She gripped his shoulders and ground down against his hardening cock, Gage growling against her lips. He cupped her breasts, his calloused fingers playing with her nipples. He pinched and rolled them between his fingers, his fingers almost too much for the sensitive peaks. She moaned against his lips and dug her nails into his back, adding to the numerous marks that already littered his back and shoulders. Gage moved a hand from her breast, his mouth quickly taking its place. Porter used his free hand to rub gently at her clit, Lilly grinding down more vigorously onto his hard cock. After two days of not doing much but fucking, Lilly was more than prepared to take him again.
“Stop teasing and just fuck me.” She snarled, Gage smirking. “Well just twist my arm,” He drawled out sarcastically. Lilly rolled her eyes and yanked him into a messy kiss that was all teeth and tongue, but neither cared. Lilly grabbed his thick cock in her fist, pumping it a few times before lining it up with her entrance. She slammed down onto Gage, Gage cursing and grabbing her ass so hard it was sure to bruise even more.
Lilly gave herself a second to adjust, Gage kissing her neck and toying with her clit. “Fuck woman. You have the tightest little pussy.” Gage drawled out the words, his gruff voice even huskier with lust, It was beyond sexy and he knew it. Lilly loved Gage’s voice and it turned her on like crazy.
She began to slowly rock her hips, Gage moaning and gripping her sore hips tightly. Lilly gasped out his name, her movements faltering as she adjusted the angle. Gage took control right then and there. He began to pound up into her, Lilly crying out and cutting into his shoulders with her sharp painted nails, Gage cursing as she did so.
Gage filled her perfectly, his cock hitting all the right spots deep inside of her. His head always rubbed against that spot inside her perfectly, making her toes curl and eyes close with each thrust. He fucked her roughly, Lilly moving her hips in time with his movements. Water sloshed out of the tub, neither of them worried about the already water-damaged floor.
Lilly had her head thrown back with pleasure, leaving it exposed for him. Gage growled out praises as he littered her neck with more and more marks, whispering praises and nasty promises between each. He pulled her closer to the edge by playing with her clit, the calluses on his fingertips adding to the sensation. He felt her walls tightening and quivering, “Fuck baby, I’m real close.” He snarled out, fucking up into her at a harsher pace. Lilly was panting, her words breathy, “Then come with me Porter.”
He didn’t need to be told twice, yanking her hips down onto his, crying out her name along with some curses as she clenched around him. She milked him for all he was worth, Gage pumping his hips to help them ride it out.
When he stopped Lilly collapsed onto him, her face buried in his neck. Gage held her around her middle, rubbing his hands down her back as her breathing slowed. He didn’t pull out, resting his head on the back of the tub as he relaxed under her.
Lilly turned her head and pressed a loud kiss to his shoulder, “We need to fill up the tub again.” She pulled back to look at him, Gage smirking, “Feeling dirty again boss?” He chuckled, gripping her ass. She playfully swatted at his chest and he moved his hands away from her ass, “I just want to actually enjoy the hot water for a little bit, and yes a little.” He rolled his eyes, he didn’t understand her and her prewar ways. She hated being dirty, Gage on the other hand used to hardly shower before she came around, they were usually a waste of time out there in the wealth. But she always invited him when she showered, and he couldn’t resist.
Gage ran a hand down her spine, kissing her softly. Lilly leaned into him as her lips fit against his, Gage still inside her. “Maybe in a minute.” He mumbled against her lips before kissing her lazily.
They’d have to leave Fizztop sometime soon, but it wouldn’t happen today. Maybe tomorrow.
Chapter 4: Improving Raider Radio (UPDATED 9/13)
Summary:
Lilly decides Raider Radio, and Redeye, needs some sprucing up.
I decided this chapter in particular needed a bit sprucing up itself! I changed only some minor things, like errors or simply just some dialogue choices. Updated on 9/13/24
Notes:
Gage bullies Redeye in my universe because I find it endlessly entertaining
No extreme NSFW but Gage and Lilly are pretty horny for each other

Chapter Text
“No fucking way!” Lilly shouted excitedly, tossing the full box of holotapes onto the dusty floor of the vault. Dust flew up in the air, Dogmeat sneezing loudly as he shoved his nose into the dust cloud to smell the box. Lilly rubbed Dogmeat between the ears and kneeled to dig through the box, “It's all music! Gage look!” She spoke cheerfully with a grin, tossing him a holotape.
Gage caught the yellow tape in one hand, squinting at the old writing on it, “The best of Johnny Cash? Who’s that?” He cocked an eyebrow at Lilly and her grin widened, “Oh you have no idea of the wonders you’ve missed Porter!” She began to shove tapes into her already full pack, Gage sighing as he kneeled beside her, also filling his pack with tapes. There were a shit ton of holotapes, they would take up a lot of space, but it would be fine since they were heading back towards Nuka town after this vault was looted.
They had no idea about this vault until the power came on. No one knew the power plant powered Bradberton along with the park, but it was a pleasant surprise. A pack member said some freaky door in one of the buildings in Bradberton opened when the power came on, and she followed it to the locked vault door.
The old vault was underneath Bradberton, a secret tunnel in it led to underneath the park, but it was closed off and could only open from the other side. Lilly assumed that the other section of the vault was mostly under Nuka Town, and could be accessed from somewhere inside Nuka Town. They’d search for that entrance later, until then, they explored what they could. Lilly was very excited by the news of a vault, it meant a fresh place to loot. Gage didn’t think anything in the vault was useful, It was all junk to him.
He hated carrying useless shit around, and that's all Lilly seemed to carry. But he always made an exception for her, especially if she gave him sweet eyes and a soft smile when she asked him to carry god knows what. He remembers the time he had a whole ass Giddy Up Buttercup strapped to his back, God that pissed him off something fierce that day. She’d always give him something for his trouble of course, it was usually a kiss or a blowjob, depending on how heavy the shit she wanted him to carry was.
At the bottom of the box, there was a holotape player, Lilly picked it up to examine it, “We’re bringing this to Redeye, he could use this to play holos on his radio.” Gage took it from her hands, weighing it in his hand. The device was a bit bigger than her pip-boy but somehow still pretty heavy. “You saying you don’t like Redeye’s Originals Boss?” He smirked, shoving the device into his pack amongst hot plates, desk fans, and a bunch of other junk.
“No! I ... .I like Redeye!!” She got defensive, causing Gage to chuckle and cross his arms, ”I just need to teach him some things about… music.” Gage laughed harder and stood, pulling his pack onto his back. His laughter stopped when he realized just how heavy his pack really was. They were bringing horses next time she wanted to ‘Only take a peek and maybe pick up a thing or two!’
Gage cursed quietly and adjusted the pack, she’d owe him for this one. Lilly stood and patted his chest, a smile on her brightly painted lips. “I just want to ‘improve’ his radio station! We need more music. The guy only has a few songs, and that just isn’t enough anymore. I think the mood in the park would improve a lot with a bigger variety of music. Keep them all from getting bored! His stories can’t keep them entertained forever.”
Gage smiled, he loved the way she thought. Always planning ahead, trying her damned hardest to keep everyone happy, fed, and paid. And she'd do anything to achieve that. She was perfect for Nuka World, perfect for Gage. Fuck he loved her. “Fine idea boss, but good luck convincing the little twerp.” Lilly just smirked, kicking the now empty box to the side. “That’s why I'm bringing you!” She kissed his cheek, “You scare him.” Gage caught her lips in a kiss before she could pull away, nipping her bottom lip as she pulled away with that beautiful smile. “Well, he makes it so easy…” He mumbled, Lilly rolling her eyes dramatically before turning away.
Lilly gave the room one last look over and shouldered her pack. “Ready, big guy?” That nickname is one of her favorites to call Gage, and it was one of his favorites to hear. He loved it when she called him that. It shot a hot bolt of lightning straight to his cock each time.
He followed her out of the vault like the lovesick puppy he was, the actual dog trotting by Lilly’s side.
The next day Lilly got all the holotapes together, even adding in a few of the music holotapes that she's collected from other locations. She held up a tape between her fingers, “Everyone deserves to hear this, not just us.” She beamed at Gage, adding her copy of the album “Gunfighter Ballads And Trail Songs” By Marty Robbins into the large box. It had THE classics like “Big Iron” “The Hanging Tree” and of course, “Cool Water.”
“I thought you’d never part with your ‘cowboy music’ boss?” Gage asked, hugging her from behind as she continued to toss holos into a box. “Oh, I’d never, baby.” She practically purred, gently dragging two of her painted nails along the stubble on his cheek. “That's why I made a copy.” She held up the original, The bright red of the album was long gone, the colors all faded from age. The tiny cowboy on it, clad in all black, was almost hard to make out, faded and ruined by time. But it still played like a beauty.
After she got all the music together she handed the box to Gage and walked to the lift, Gage shaking his head as he followed. “I don’t understand why I’m so damn nice to you.” He halfheartedly complained as he got on the lift with her and Dogmeat. “Because I’m pretty?” She questioned, slamming a fist on the button of the lift. The lift jerked as it lowered, both of them gripping the rickety wood in an attempt to steady themselves. Gage shrugged at her. “Maybe….I’m not sure…” He rubbed his chin pretending to be in deep thought. She slapped his chest lightly, causing Gage to break and laugh. The lift hit the ground harshly, their laughter dying as Lilly bumped into his chest, Gage reflexively catching her hips. He wasn’t wearing his chest armor, so he was able to pull her snug against him. Lilly pressed herself against his body, looking up a little to look into his eye.
Gage tried to give her a soft kiss, Lilly biting his bottom lip harshly in return. He growled and yanked her firmly against him, ignoring all the Disciple helmets and masks turning in their direction as they passionately kissed.
When they separated she winked at him, her lips brushing his one last time. Gage leaned in so he could whisper in her ear, his breath hot and quick. She wrapped her arms around his neck, leaning into him. She dragged her leg up the side of his, Gage taking the hint and grabbing her thigh so he could pull her even closer to him. She could feel him hardening, Lilly causing Gage to groan as she pressed further against his cock. His hand explored from her thigh to her asscheek, giving it a ruthless squeeze that made Lilly whine.
“You know I’m just teasin’. You know I'd do anything for you… I also think you’re a real fuckin’ stunner.” He whispered, Lilly’s skin breaking out in goosebumps at his gravelly voice in her ear. His voice did things to her, and he knew it. He didn’t even have to say anything sexy most of the time. What a win since he was still getting the hang of seduction.
When Gage pulled back a bit so he could see her face again, and she was smiling, her dimples prominent. Her dimples got extremely visible like this when she was really happy. It was a real genuine smile, he loved it when he saw those.
She ran a painted nail down the back of his neck, then along his spine, “Oh I know.” She moved her hand to the back of his neck and yanked him into a heated kiss. Gage grunted in surprise and kissed her back, his hands digging into the flesh of her hip and ass. Lilly dug her sharp nails into his shoulders, spurring Gage on further. The kiss became more fiery, and anyone nearby was taking notice.
Gage and Lilly forgot the world around them for a moment, until the clapping began. A small crowd of mostly Disciples had gathered, and the mouths Gage and Lilly could see were all pulled back into shit-eating grins. Gage pulled away from Lilly to glare daggers at them, “Alright, you bunch of horny animals! Get Outta here!” Gage shouted, the raiders yelling and complaining as they dispersed.
“Buzzkill.” She giggled, pecking his cheek. “The biggest party pooper around.” He replied. The moment had been ruined, so they continued on their way to the radio station.
The Radio station was a three-story building tucked behind Cappy’s Cafe. The first floor was a mess,so the second floor held the radio station where Redeye did all the recordings. It was a nice setup, with a sound booth and everything. It was also full of instruments that Redeye couldn’t really play. The third floor is where Redeye slept and ate, he had turned it into a full apartment a while back.
Redeye was in his apartment on the third floor, sitting at his desk, typing away at his terminal when Gage kicked open the door. He laughed as Redeye jumped up, a pistol aimed between Porter Gage’s eyes. “Spook ya?” Gage chuckled, dropping the box of holos on Redeye’s desk with a slam. Redeye put the pistol down on his desk, the barrel still pointed towards Gage. “Dickhead.” Redeye sneered, making Gage laugh harder. Then his laughter suddenly died and he got in Redeye’s face. Gage loved to try his best to unnerve Redeye, it was like a game to him. They stood like that for a long moment until Gage snapped his teeth at Redeye, the young raider flinching. Gage smirked and shoved past him to find a place to sit.
“Hi, Redeye.” The Overboss waved as she sauntered in, her hello much more friendly than Gage’s. Dogmeat ran over to Redeye to get pets, the young raider happily greeting the dog.
Lilly walked over and put the holotape player on Redeye’s desk, the raider’s eyebrows shooting up, “What the fuck is that?” Redeye asked as he sat back down, Lilly smiling that beautiful charming smile of hers. Gage figured that smile was distracting to any person with a brain in their head. To him, Redeye didn’t have a brain, but her trap still worked. Her sharp green eyes looked Redeye up and down, “It's music.”
She pulled herself onto Redeye’s desk, swinging her legs, the young raider watching her in interest. “This player should hook up to the radio no problem.” Those final words made his smile drop into a scowl. Redeye stood up, his chair flying back with the force. “Woah! woah!! Replacing me already huh?! I’ve been here since the fucking start!” Gage barked out a laugh, sitting down on Redeye’s couch and slamming his muddy boots onto the coffee table, “She ain’t getting rid of your annoying ass. Fucking relax.” Redeye calmed down immediately and looked at the relaxed overboss who was sitting on his desk still swinging her legs. She just smiled, her dark lipstick making her lips stand out against her tanned freckled skin.
“Anyways…..” She continued, perfectly calm “I, along with so many others here in Nuka World, adore you Redeye.” The scrawny man grinned, running a hand along his sideburns. Gage smirked at Lilly from his position on the couch, the Overboss not glancing his way because he was too distracting. “But this station needs…… Some more different kinds of music ya know? You’d still be the host and everything, playing your personal songs and telling your stories. You’ll still be telling the news too, keeping us all updated on whatever.” She checked her nail polish, trying to keep her eyes away from Gage. “So if you play more music, like I want, you’ll have more chances to run your mouth because there's a gap between each song that you can make as long as you want. Just not too long, don’t be annoying.” She pointed at him. Redeye nodded, thinking it all over as he sat down beside Gage.
“You know what that all means dummy?” Gage drawled, petting the dog that everyone in Nuka World now knew as the famous Dogmeat. He was lying across Gage's lap, watching everybody with large intelligent eyes. “It means that you’ll get more popular, especially as we get more and more territory.” Gage said when Redeye didn’t immediately answer, Lilly taking over since Gage wouldn’t do any ass kissing, “Nuka World is becoming more popular by the day, everyone would know you are! The incredible Redeye, the master of storytelling. The songbird of Nuka World. More fame, more money, you won’t repel women as easily-" "Hey what do you mean-” Lilly didn’t let Redeye talk, continuing her little speech. She used her hands as she talked, waving them to give emphasis just how great everything was going to be.
“Think about it, Redeye! As we take over the commonwealth your radio show would become the new Diamond City Radio. You’d be the new voice of the commonwealth. You, your stories, your music. You’d have everything and more. You get all of this under one condition.” She grabbed a holo from the box, running a sharp blood-red nail along the edge of it. “You play these songs and allow Someone, maybe even me, to teach you how to properly play guitar. And maybe allow anyone in the park, who's good, to play their own music on your show.” She tossed the holo back into the box and stood.” But make sure you see if they’re actually good or not first, there's already enough garbage on the radio.”She walked to the couch, sitting on the arm beside Gage. Lilly put her arm around his neck, running her nails playfully along Gage’s throat, Gage looking up at her with a loving look in his eye. It made Redeye want to puke.
“So….. What do you say Redeye?” She practically purred, Gage looking at Redeye with a dark look that meant he had a correct and wrong way to answer the Overboss’s question. Redeye didn’t hesitate, jumping to his feet. “You got a fucking deal boss!” The overboss grinned widely, “Smart boy!” She stood up and walked to the door, Gage slapping Redeye harshly on the back as he stood, Redeye grunting at the force.
“I’ll leave you to it.” She waved and walked out, Gage following her with the killer pooch hot on his heels.
Redeye began to receive guitar lessons from a pre-war musician, a ghoul who was an Operator. He was happy to teach Redeye how to play guitar properly, but Lilly still slid a few extra caps his way anyhow. Redeye’s musical abilities improved significantly and surprisingly fast as he practiced and learned. He still kept his unique Redeye sound, just now incorporating more into his music.. The radio improved too, the larger variety of music bringing in more listeners.
Lilly’s plan worked. Spirits became even higher at Nuka World, the tensions between the gangs were at an all-time low and people were working together better than ever. Gage almost hated the fact that it worked, raiders were sometimes just a bit too simple in his opinion.

Chapter 5: Drinking Buddy
Summary:
Nuka World gets another bartender
Chapter Text
“Hey Gage! Look at this weird protectron.” Lilly shouted as she put her hands against the protective plastic of the charging station. She wiped the dust off of the plastic so she could see the robot inside better. Gage walked over, glancing inside with her, “Sure is weird.” Gage stepped away from the bot, his eyes focused on the unstable room around them. They had just killed a shit ton of mole rats, and Gage felt like the unstable earth beneath his feet was teeming with a few more.
She stepped back and checked over the old terminal, Gage standing by her, his rifle ready in his hands. Lilly hacked the terminal, her nimble fingers moving over the keyboard swiftly. Gage had no fucking idea how she typed so fast, must’ve been her fancy pre-war education.
The doors slid open and for what felt like fucking forever the bot rambled on about technical things Gage didn’t understand. Lilly seemed to understand, watching the robot with a wide grin on her face. Finally finished, it toddled out, announcing loudly that it was Drinkin’ Buddy. It handed the overboss a beer from its weird barrel chest. Lilly cracked it open and took a sip, gasping. “You know how long it's been since I had a cold beer?” She talked to the robot for a while, Gage tuning it out as he watched the dirt floor for any more mole rats.
Gage tuned them back in when the bot asked if they were to head to some hotel. The boss hesitated and hummed, crossing her arms as she thought. “Actually….. Change of plans, I’m keeping you. You can come with us to Nuka World.”
When Buddy agreed to follow her, Lilly turned towards Gage, a massive smile on her face. “Gage, we’re taking this thing home!” Porter sighed, Protectrons were slow as fuck. “If it makes you happy Darlin’” Lilly kissed his cheek, “Oh it will! This sample is fantastic. This bot can make any drink if you just give it a recipe, and can make anything cold. Imagine this bad boy in Cappy’s Cafe. Or even better, at the old Bradberton gas station in the bar we’ve built there. Unless we want to give him to the Parlor? But they already have a robot bartender in-” Gage shut her up by kissing her deeply, and when he pulled away she was breathless, her eyes on his lips. Perfect, he derailed her train of thought. “Hey, I have an idea.” He leaned down to whisper in her ear, her skin breaking out in goose bumps.
She gripped his armor, “Go on.” She replied breathlessly, her lips brushing his. He grinned, “Why don’t we just get it to Nuka Town first? Then see from there.” She hummed, “Ooh good one baby. Yeah, let's do that.” He smirked and kissed her again, slipping a hand into her back pocket, Lilly moaning into his mouth. Gage being the one to pull away before things got too carried away. They were in a very unstable location, underground, and it was making Gage nervous. Lilly could tell so she got the bot moving and they left the basement. Once out in the terrible air of Boston Gage let out a breath, the blue sky a welcoming sight. Lilly pressed a fleeting kiss to his cheek, moving on towards the end of the alley to get the trip moving. The robot slowly walked after her, Gage right behind it with Dogmeat at his side.
The walk back was a long one, the protectron toddling along just as slow as it could go the whole way to the transit center. It agitated the hell out of Gage, but the thing could fucking fight and seemed to be worth all the hassle. It had a heavy laser rifle and a flamer, and used them effeciently, which made getting through Boston much easier.
It still took fucking days, way too many for Gage’s liking. He heavily debated at one point just going to find some horses then taking apart the bot and tying it to their rides. But he knew Lilly wouldn’t want to risk breaking the bot.
The trip wasn’t a bad one, mainly because there weren’t too many attacks outside of Boston, the trip relatively calm. It wasn’t a boring trip either, the bot was fine entertainment. The robot could tell and learn jokes, so most of the long trip was spent teaching Buddy jokes and just generally terrible things to say. By the time they got to the transit center, Gage was all out of curse words to teach it.
It was midday and what felt like months later by the time they walked into Nuka World, the summer sun high in the sky. Everyone was curious to check out the new robot that came toddling in after the Overboss, the raiders on guard duty quickly spreading the word to Redeye so he could tell the people of Nuka World. Well, those who havent already taken notice of the barrel with legs that was spewing curse words.
She was hardly past the gate before Shank took notice, “Boss, what the fuck is this?” Shank said, walking over to check out the bot. Lilly took a deep breath when Buddy turned to Shank, the perfect person to test one of his new greetings on. “Hello and Fuck you! I am Drinkin’ Buddy! Care to wet your whistle or would you like to hear a joke?” Shank smirked, as the little crowd of raiders that had gathered laughed “Cool, What's it do?” Lilly patted Buddy on the side, “It makes alcohol, ice fucking cold!” Everyone around her erupted into cheers, cold drinks were rare these days.
A lot of raiders gathered in Cappy’s Cafe to see Drinkin’ Buddy, the word spread quickly thanks to Redeye. The gang bosses and some important members even showed up, Mason ready with a couple of holotapes full of drink recipes.
“I thought you liked making it yourself Mason?” Lilly questioned, the Alpha shrugging, his thread-bare t-shirt barely holding together as his muscles flexed. “Yeah, but I think people can taste the car radiator that it gets distilled through.” Lilly made a disgusted face and Mason laughed, “I’m joking! I just want to see if it can make pack booze better than the pack itself.” Lilly shook her head, a grin on her face. “Hey, go ahead.” She patted one of his massive tattooed arms as she worked her way through the crowd back towards the bar where Buddy and Gage were.
She immediately went to Gage, backing up against him so he could hold her from behind as she kept her eye out on the bar. She didn’t think anybody would do anything to Drinking Buddy, but she kept her eyes on the large crowd just in case.
Buddy was behind the bar now, the original barkeep, Lauren, had scooted to the other end of the bar. She was now mostly bringing food to the raiders and by the look on her face Lilly could see that she was nervous. Maybe she felt like she was getting replaced? If she felt that way and got stupid it would be a problem. Lilly was going to have to keep a closer eye on the old woman from now on.
“So we can teach it any jokes?” Dixie asked, tapping the barrel chest of the bot. The overboss nodded and looked towards Lizzie who was leaning over the bar to get a better look at Buddy’s front. “Yeah! It’ll copy any jokes you tell it and it’ll take most recipes as long as you or the bot has the ingredients. No poison though, he only is for booze! No sketchy shit.” She could see Lizzie’s shoulders slump as she retreated to a seat with a few other operators.
Dixie began to teach the bot horrible jokes, leaning on the bar beside Lilly. Lilly sat on a stool and picked up a beer, sipping it slowly. Gage didn’t sit, choosing to stand behind Lilly with an arm around her waist. He always held onto her when they were at the bar, he could protect her better and no one would hit on her.
Lauren and Keith, the guy who kept the place as clean as he could, watched the raiders from a distance, everyone fighting over who was going to get the next fresh drink. The bot was quick, keeping up with demands in a way Lauren and her old joints couldn’t anymore. It was also hilarious, its jokes made the Raiders laugh in a way few could.
Drinking Buddy became a hit, Cappy’s Cafe getting more business than ever. Buddy quickly became the main bartender, Lauren being knocked back to the kitchen. She didn’t serve drinks anymore, just food. She didn’t care as much as she thought she would, it must be the fact that she has a lot more time to rest and sit. Raiders aren’t big food people if there are other alternatives like drugs and alcohol. And when it came to Cappy’s Cafe, the alcohol and joke-spewing robot is much more interesting than the slightly better than shitty food.
Chapter 6: Savoy's knife trick
Summary:
You ever seen the movie Aliens? This is 100% based on a scene in the movie called Bishop’s knife trick. It gave me major Redeye being bullied by Gage vibes and I just had to write it. Gage’s voice actor(Mark Rolston) is actually in this movie and very sexy too, I highly recommend watching the movie for several reasons, and watching him do shirtless pull-ups is one of those reasons. Anyways…. What I am trying to get at is that His role in that scene is the same as Gage’s in this drabble.
Chapter Text
Redeye sat at the bar, surveying the crowd in Cappy’s Cafe. The place was packed. Drinking Buddy had just made a massive fresh batch of beer, and a group of Operators with instruments was supposed to come play some live music. The band and the drinks were so good that they brought in quite a few important customers.
On the opposite end of the bar sat the Overboss and Gage, along with Mason. The boss had a bottle in her hand as she talked loudly to Gage and Mason, a wide smile on her freckled face. She was leaning on Gage, the painfully sober raider holding onto her waist like a lifeline. Dogmeat was lying by their feet, his head resting on his paws. Mason, not sporting his face paint, stood beside the couple, smirking as the Overboss talked. Redeye would bet money on it that she was a bit buzzed and incredibly entertaining.
The bar was crowded, full of members of each gang. Savoy was even out today, sitting in the darkest corner possible with a few other Disciples. Savoy rarely crawled out of the hole he called home just to come drink with friends, he must've run out of blood to drink or something.
“Savoy!” Redeye shouted, the masked face of the Disciple enforcer turning his direction, “Do the thing with the knife! ” He said, pulling a combat knife from his boot and holding the handle out towards Savoy. “C’mon man! Do the knife thing!” He beckoned the raider over.
Savoy grinned and jumped to his feet, walking slowly to Redeye. He moved like a predator, the crowd growing silent. Raiders wordlessly stepped out of Savoy's way as he approached Redeye. Savoy’s grin turned more snake-like when he got closer to Redeye, Redeye having no idea that Gage was stalking up behind him. When Savoy grabbed the knife from his hand, Gage grabbed Redeye and put him in a tight hold. Redeye began panicking internally but tried to keep his cool.
“Yeah, do the knife thing, Savoy.” Gage mocked in his southern drawl, tightening his muscular arms around Redeye, securing him with a thick arm around his throat. “Gage what are you doing man…” Redeye mumbled, “Oh just shut up.” Gage sneered as he grabbed Redeye’s hand and put it on the table, holding his wrist so Redeye couldn’t move it.
Savoy put his hand over his, “Hey man! Not me! Not me!” Redeye shouted, panic melting into his voice. Gage practically growled out his words, “Yes you! Now shut up, don’t move… Do it Savoy!” Savoy smirked devilishly as he flipped the knife a few times in his hand, twirling it a few times just to show off. It also made Redeye incredibly nervous, which was just what Savoy wanted.
“Oh fuck….Guys quit messing around!” Redeye shouted as he tried to squirm out of Gage’s hold, Gage securing him a bit better so Redeye couldn’t move at all. The panic really began to set in.
Redeye felt like he was about to lose his hand or life, the fear making him sweat. He couldn’t see Gage but he knew he was sporting a shit-eating grin. ”Don’t move” Gage said again, tightening his grip further. He was holding him so tight Redeye felt like he couldn't breath, his breaths coming in short rushed bursts. The crowd of the bar, plus a few people who heard the commotion from outside, had gathered around them. Everyone was waiting for a trick or to see if Savoy and Gage were going to finally slaughter Redeye. It was impossible to tell which. The Overboss even had a front-row seat, a grin on her pretty face.
Redeye really thought he was about to die.
Savoy twirls the knife in his hand one last time before slamming it between his and Redeye’s fingers. Redeye let out a high pitched scream that some would call "unmanly" as Savoy quickly slams the knife between each of their fingers in the typical Five Finger Fillet fashion.
Redeye screams grow louder as Savoy’s pace quickens, the raider not nicking their fingers or missing his mark. Savoy continued to increase the speed of the knife, Redeye screaming as he helplessly watched, waiting to lose a finger. Gage couldn’t contain his laughter and was practically giggling as Redeye screamed.
The crowd had grown, the loud cheers and laughter of the crowd almost muting the screams of Redeye. Redeye was too focused on his hand and the knife going between his fingers to notice who in the crowd was laughing at him. He’d worry about payback later, if he survived…..
Savoy was fast and perfect, not slipping once. Redeye was worried that he’d “slip” and end up stabbing him in the throat or something. Sweat rolled down Redeye’s temple as he continued to shout like a man being tortured, his eyes following the quick movements of the blade.
After going through their fingers multiple times Savoy slammed the knife deep into the table beside Redeye’s hand, Savoy's chest moving quickly as he breathed heavily from the excitement. The horrible snake smirk was still on Savoy’s face. He didn’t say anything, he just stared at Redeye to unnerve him further. It worked, Redeye looking away from him.
Porter Gage let go of Redeye and stepped back. He dropped a cold beer in front of him, the beer sloshing over the rim and onto Redeye’s hand. Redeye jumped a bit when the cold liquid hit him, flinching even harder when Gage slapped his shoulder hard enough to sting. “Drink up.” Gage chuckled, walking back to his seat and the Overboss.
Redeye tried to get his breathing and heart rate under control, his voice a little breathless, “Not cool man! Fuck you guys!” Savoy bared his teeth like a wild animal before walking away from Redeye. He walked back to his dark corner full of Disciples. Nisha had decided to join the party, Savoy sitting down beside her, their knees bumping together. Redeye still believed that they were fucking. It was one of his favorite rumors and boy did it make sense when you watched the two interact.
Gage laughed and sat down beside Lilly, watching as Redeye took a shaky sip of his beer. “Goddamn that was entertaining. I want to do that again.” Gage spoke loudly enough for Redeye to hear, returning his arm to its rightful place around Lilly’s waist. Lilly giggled and pressed a kiss to the pulse point on his throat. Gage leaned down to whisper something in her ear, the Overboss blushing and shoving him away while giggling, Gage grinning at her before leaning in for a kiss.
Redeye looked away from them, they were too gross to watch for any longer. The way they looked at one another made Redeye want to puke.
He’d have to think of a way to tell this story in a way that didn’t make him seem like a coward. He’d some some more beer to think that hard, maybe some Mentats too…. He waved over Drinking Buddy so he could get to thinking.
Chapter 7: A present from Gage
Summary:
Just Gage showing his love by making weapons
Chapter Text
Gage gave the pink handmade rifle one last look over, deciding that the gun was ready. Gage looked over his shoulder at the Overboss, who was sitting on the old checkered floor of the restaurant surrounded by parts of an assaultron. She was tinkering away, a scowl on her face. Her pip-boy was plugged into the head of the robot and she kept looking at it, cussing now and then as she fiddled with the technology.
God he loved her, and for weeks he had been trying to figure out a good way to show it. Sure they said it to one another, but Gage is always one to follow up words with actions. He felt like Lilly deserved the moon and the stars, but he could only make weapons so that would have to suffice.
Gage stood up from his workbench and walked to the Overboss, Lilly looking up from the assaultron. She smiled when she saw him, her dimples showing “Yes darling?” she questioned softly. Instead of replying Gage just held up the pink gun. Lilly gasping so loudly Dogmeat woke up, jumping off his favorite couch and coming over to see what was going on.
Lilly jumped to her feet, “You made me a pink gun?” Before Gage could reply she was throwing her arms around his neck, “I couldn’t find any purple pain-'' Lilly cut him off with a fierce kiss. Gage grunted in surprise but quickly returned the kiss, holding the gun to the side with his free hand on her hip.
When they separated Gage handed her the gun, Lilly immediately checking the gun over. “It’s perfect! I love the color so much.” Her smile widened and Gage couldn’t help but smile back. She continued to check it over, “Oh baby did you custom make this for me?” She ran her fingertips along the fresh welding lines. Gage nodded, smiling that crooked smile she loved so much, “I figured you deserved something unique. I know you’re not a big fan of automatics and love to bash the shit out of people. So it’s a standard rifle with some good heft behind it. ” Lilly nodded, feeling the weight of the gun in her hands.“You added a bayonet too! Oh, it’s wonderful.” She held up the gun, shifting it to her shoulder, aiming it at the wall as she checked the sights. "Oh, it's perfect!" She spoke cheerily.
She lowered the rifle and turned back to Gage, pressing another kiss to his lips. He ran his hands along her waist, “I know a place where you can test that.” Lilly raised a brow, “The gunners on that highway?” Gage nodded and pressed a quick kiss to her lips, “Exactly.”
Lilly pulled away and walked towards where they kept their armor, “Well let’s get moving then.”
Chapter Text
Gage pulled the strap on her thigh tightly, securing the thick leather strap tightly to her muscular leg. Gage gives the holster on her leg a playful tug before standing up and kissing her. “Thank you, big guy.” She practically purred, Gage groaning at the nickname and kissing her again, this time more deeply. Before the kiss went too far she pulled away, kneeling to help him with his leg armor.
Gage ran a hand through her pink hair, “You’re always so pretty on your knees” Lilly looked up at Gage, her plump painted lips pulled into a naughty smile. Gage’s soft strokes of her hair stopped when he tangled his fist in her hair, giving it a tug. She could turn him on with just a look, his mind gone the moment she gave him a sexy-ass smile with a mischievous glint in her eyes. The overboss groaned and leaned into the tug, exposing her throat and showing her pretty white teeth to Gage. Gage growled a bit, showing his teeth right back.
“We have somewhere to be.” She purred out the words, stretching her neck a bit more to reveal her hickey covered throat. God, she was sexy, but she was right…. Gage sighs loudly and loosens his grip, Lilly standing up to kiss him. “Later, sugar.” She whispers against his lips, giving his ass a playful swat as she tries to walk by him. Just as she expected, Gage looped his arms around her waist and yanked her back against his chest." His deep voice was like a growl. “You promise?” Lilly smiled at him, that sweet mischievous smile he loved to see. “Promise.”
They always helped each other armor up when they had the chance, both of them always using it as a chance to get in as many kisses and touches as they possibly could. Gage
used to hate any kind of sweet and comforting contact, but now he couldn’t get enough of it. He just couldn’t keep his hands and lips away from her, but Lilly didn’t seem to mind the fact that he was a touchy person now, she was just as bad. As Overboss she wasn’t supposed to show weakness, but her and Gage’s relationship was anything but a weakness to her. So they didn’t keep it under wraps.
Lilly kissed Gage one last time before playfully shoving him away, Gage stumbling back dramatically as if she could actually move him. “Okay next! Dogmeat!” She said cheerfully, Dogmeat bounding over, his tail wagging. Gage rolled his eyes as Lilly put on Dogmeat’s little boots, securing them. “Don’t roll your eye at me Cyclops! We Can’t have his feet getting hurt now can we?” Lilly spoke in a high-pitched voice, rubbing Dogmeat’s ears as he licked excitedly at her face.
“I don’t see how you let that thing lick your face,” Gage spoke, putting on his metal eyepatch and securing it. Lilly tied a red Nuka World bandana around Dogmeat’s neck before looking back at Gage, “Not much different from kissing you, Gage.” She bit her lip to hold back a grin after she said it, her eyes on Gage’s scowling face. Gage racked his brain for something clever to say back. Fuck, he had nothing. He blew out a breath, a frown creasing his features. “Damn… If I had feelings you’d be in trouble for that one.” She laughed and blew Gage a kiss, Gage glowering at her which made lilly laugh more.
Gage didn’t want to admit it but he actually really liked the mutt, he was incredibly smart and a good companion. Fantastic at listening and very loyal… The damn dog was better than most raiders he knew actually. Plus Dogmeat could fuck anyone up, the dog would run headfirst into any battle, latching onto any limb he could find to rip off. Sometimes he’d get the poor bastard down and get ahold of his throat, ripping it out with one quick twist of the head. Gage had been impressed since the first time he saw the mutt fight. But what really knocked his dirty socks off was watching the mutt launch itself at a super mutant, latching onto its giant wrist and shaking his head until its hand was hardly attached by a strand of tendon. The mutant had screamed and slammed the butt of his rifle into the dog's head, Dogmeat not dropping the mutant until Gage had put a bullet in its brain. Mutt wasn’t even stunned, just ran off to bite the next poor bastard in his master's way. He’d fight anything in whatever way he could, from distracting and tripping Deathclaws, to ripping off the legs of ghouls, to tearing out the throat of minutemen and their horses. Dogmeat could do it all. Lilly had trained him some, but she said when she found him he already knew most of what he could do. She only taught him new commands, but he usually didn’t need any. Wherever he came from had trained a good dog. He’s a very ballsy dog at that, friendly as hell too. He’d always find the closest sucker to get belly rubs from when they were in friendly territory. Dogmeat was a huge fan of Mason and the pack, they loved him and they didn’t ignore him like most of the people in the other gangs. Well, maybe a few could stand the dog…. No one would admit it though. Gage has even caught Savoy petting him a few times, but he isn’t ever stupid enough to say anything. He preferred having his skin.
Lilly adjusted the dog’s bright red collar, ‘Dogmeat’ burned into the leather in large black letters. A gift from The Pack. Lilly gave him a once over, “Comfy boy?” Dogmeat let out a short bark, wagging his tail. “Good!” She said to the dog like they understood one another. Finally, she stood, turning to Gage.
“Ready to go?” She walked to him, “You know it, Boss.” She pecked his lips and headed for the lift, Gage and Dogmeat right behind her.
Notes:
I love writing for these two so much! Nothing is more intimate than dressing your partner, especially in armor!
Chapter 9: Taking a ride(NSFW)
Summary:
Lilly takes a ride
Chapter Text
Gage and Lilly had gone on horseback to do some scouting of Minutemen farms. Lilly wanted to hit one soon, they needed the resources and the Minutement needed a good kick in the ass. They had watched a large farm that had been built around a large pre-war voltage Pyron. After a bit of observation Gage and Lilly decided it would be the perfect place to hit.
On the ride back to the transit center they crossed paths with a wandering group of supermutants. The mutants popped out of the woods right in front of them, practically ambushing Gage and Lilly. Gage’s horse died in the first few rounds of bullets, luckily when she fell Gage was able to roll out of the way of her heavy body. He was able to take cover behind the body and reach his gun, firing at the small group of mutants.
Lilly stayed mounted on her horse, using her pistol to shoot at the mutants. Dogmeat took off the moment the group stepped out of the forest, latching onto the lead mutants leg. He ripped and tore at the supermutant who flailed and screamed, Gage shooting it before it could hit the dog with its shotgun.
Gage, Lilly, and Dogmeat made quick work of the supermutants. Once they got their barrings and reloaded, Gage hopped on Lilly’s horse with her and they continued on towards the transit center. Gage hadn’t been riding that horse for very long, but he’d miss her and her strength. But there would be time to mourn later, this was not the place for it.
Lilly’s horse was a beast of a ghoulified horse that Lilly lovingly called Rose, she said it was a “Belgian Draft” and that was very special to Lilly. Gage had no idea what that meant, but he was grateful for the massive horse regardless. It was extremely reliable and very strong, and the Damn thing just wouldn’t die, the perfect horse for a raider queen.
The horse walked slowly down the old road, the Nuka World transit center only about an hour away. Dogmeat trotted alongside Rose, his tail high in the air. Lilly was leaning back in the saddle against Gage’s chest, Gage holding her with arm around her waist. He was pressed up against her, his head on her shoulder.
Gage wrapped his other arm around her, his hand resting on the hem of her jeans. His fingers began to play along the edge of her jeans, his lips attacking her neck with open-mouthed kisses. When she let out a quiet moan he popped open the first button.
His mouth was hot against her neck, Lilly melting in his embrace. “Gage.” She whined, “We need to focus on the road… the surroundings.” Gage popped the second button on her jeans, slipping his hand in but not touching her yet. “Then you watch the road. ” His voice was like gravel in her ear. She groaned, Gage running his teeth against her pulse point.
He slid his hand farther into her jeans, Lilly trying her best to keep her eyes open and to stay focused on their surroundings. Gage’s fingers dipped between her folds, running a finger along her slit. “Soaked already?” He spoke huskily into her ear, Lilly moaning louder and leaning her head back. He teased his finger along her slit until Lilly let out a small frustrated noise.
He slid a finger fully into her, Lilly gasping and bucking her hips against his hand. “Porter.” Her voice was breathless. He added another, Lilly tilting her hips and grinding down onto his hand. She was panting, thoroughly worked up. He smirked against her neck, thrusting his fingers roughly. Gage toyed with her clit and began to whisper dirty promises in her ear, grinding his hard cock into her back. Lilly pressed back against him further, grinding her hips vigorously.
Gage pulled Lilly closer and closer to the edge, the rough pad of his thumb against her clit almost too much. He pulled away right when she was about to tip over the edge, slowing the thrust of his fingers down. Lilly let out a frustrated noise and yanked on the reigns, the large horse stopping. Gage ran his tongue along the shell of her ear, “Why’d you stop baby?” Lilly didn’t even look back as she spoke, “We’re getting off, I need to fuck you, right now.” Gage chuckles and pulls his hand out of her jeans, “You’ll hear no complaints from me.” He says as he hops off the tall horse, grunting when he lands, a twinge shooting through his knees.
When Lilly slid off he caught her by her waist, helping her to the ground. She wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him, but it didn’t last long. “We’re too out in the open, I think I saw a cabin a little deeper in the woods,” Lilly spoke against his lips, pulling away from Gage and grabbing the reigns of Rose.
Gage and Dogmeat followed Lilly on the short walk to the small mostly intact cabin. It was your typical pre-war hunting cabin. Small and worn down by the apocalypse and time, but it wasn’t leaning to the side and the roof wasn’t entirely destroyed.
Lilly tied Rose to a tree in a quick-release knot and told Dogmeat to stay outside and guard. He whined at the command but sat down by the horse.
Lilly approached the cabin, her pistol raised. Gage was right behind her, his automatic aimed at the door. Lilly kicked it in, the door opening easily with a groan. Dust and debris flew in the air, Gage and Lilly waiting until it all settled to enter the cabin.
They entered as a team, scanning the single-room cabin. There wasn’t much in the way of furniture, but they still checked it all for anything that might be living and hiding, like giant bugs or ghouls who just wanted to sleep out of the sun.
The cabin had no signs of life, not even radroaches or ghouls inhabited it. “Oh shit look a matress,” Lilly spoke, walking to it. She kicked it and let out a sigh of relief when no bugs scattered out. She sat her gun down beside the bed, watching Gage from over her shoulder. Gage kicked the door closed and walked up behind her, “It clean enough for you princess? Or we fucking on the dusty floor?” He hugged her from behind, his hardness pressing into her ass. She pushed back against him, Gage groaning. “It meets my standards.” She looked back at him, Gage smiling down at her. “Oh great, I’m so glad.” He put his gun down by hers and had his arms back around her immediately.
She turned in his arms so she could face him, wrapping her arms around his neck. They connected once again in a fiery kiss, Gage’s hands moving from her waist to her ass. Lilly made them turn as they kissed, Gage’s back now towards the mattress. He didn’t even seem to notice, one of his hands gripping her ass as his tongue explored her mouth.
Lilly bit his lip, Gage growling into the kiss as he pulled her closer, his hand moving under her ass. Lilly took the opportunity and knocked his feet out from under him, Gage falling back onto the mattress with a grunt. He didn’t protest because she was immediately on top of him, grinding against him.
She smoothly removed her Atom Cats jacket, handing it to Gage who put it under his head. “We’re in dangerous territory, I think this is a clothes on run.” Gage moved his hands to cup her large breasts through her thin bra and even thinner t-shirt, “Not a problem Darlin’” Gage’s voice was gravelly, his hands still playing with her breasts as Lilly began to fumble with his belts.
Lilly got his belts undone very fast, Gage pulling his leather pants down far enough for her to remove his hard cock. Lilly wasted no time and wrapped her hand around him, pumping him a couple of times, Gage’s hands moving to her hips. When Lilly removed her hand Gage let out a groan, but it was quickly silenced when Lilly shoved down her jeans and sat on his cock. She took all of him in one go, her hips flush with Gage’s.
“Fuck!” Gage’s voice was hoarse with lust, his hands gripping Lilly’s hips like a vice. She didn’t need much time to adjust, rolling her hips against Gage, one hand planted on Gage’s chest and the other gripping the mattress. He let her take control, gripping her hips and moving his hips in time with hers.
“Damn, you are really something. A real fucking stunner…. Just look at you.” Gage rumbled out, one of his hands moving from her hips down to her clit, working it in a circular motion with his thumb. Lilly gasped, Gage’s name on her lips as she rocked her hips harder.
Lilly dug her nails into Gage’s chest, Gage snarling. “I’m close.” She spoke between moans, her rhythm picking up. Gage rubbed her clit harder and gripped her hip tightly, fucking up into her. He brought her close to the edge, “Then cum for me, baby.” That’s all Lilly needed, clenching around Gage as she cried out. Gage came with her, slamming her hips onto his and spilling deep inside of her.
Lilly didn’t bask in the afterglow, getting off of Gage and standing after she caught her breath. Gage tried to get his bearings after that intense orgasm and watched her get her clothes situated. “We gotta get moving babe.” Lilly spoke with a smile. Gage grunted as he stood, “Right.” He pulled up his pants and stood, securing his belts.
Lilly pressed a soft kiss to his lips and handed him his gun, “Let’s get home, Big Guy.” Gage shouldered his rifle by the strap and kissed her again, “Is it cause you want to get me naked?” He questioned, Lilly grinning as she stepped away, “Maybe.” Gage smirked and followed her out of the cabin where Dogmeat and Rose were patiently waiting.

Chapter Text
She stood on the fizztop Grille patio, overlooking Nuka World as the sun set behind the mountains in the distance. She heard his heavy boots as he approached her, he was making sure she heard him. He knew the overboss wasn’t too keen on being snuck up on, and he had learned that the hard way when he took an elbow to the face a long time ago.
He came up behind her, his breath hot on her neck for a brief second before he wrapped his arms around her middle and hugged her from behind. He buried his face into the crook of her neck. Lilly let out a soft sigh, her hands moving to the strong arms that enveloped her. She melted against him, his scent and heat bringing her that soft warm feeling of comfort.
“Hi Porter.” She spoke softly, leaning back into his strong embrace. He squeezed her tightly and mumbled a greeting in reply, his voice rumbling against her skin. When he finally pulled his face away he kissed her skin. “Enjoying the view of our kingdom baby?” Lilly smiled, her eyes focused on the horizon.
“Best view of this world I’ve seen in a long time.” She spoke, looking at the Nuka World market in the distance. Everything was finally coming together. All of the parks were finally cleared and the raiders were settling in nicely into their new territories.
Lilly turned around to face Gage, a breeze blowing her long pink hair in the wind. Gage couldn’t help but admire her. She was just so beautiful to him. The jagged scar that cut across the left side of her lips only made her more stunning to him.
The overboss is a very colorful woman, and she became even more colorful when everyone had finally become comfortable in Nuka World. Each park had been taken over, along with Bradberton, so now each gang had two territories. Even the junkyard and hubologist base was taken over, a mix of each gang holding down the territory like with the market and central park area. The power was back on and everyone was busy with a job, the parks would take a lot more work before they became the kingdoms each gang desired. But so far, they were magnificent and coming along perfectly.
Lilly and Gage could finally take a breath.
Her favorite guns were painted a variety of pinks and purples, her armor in a similar state. She usually wore road leathers or her AtomCats jacket and jeans, her black and purple armor fitting over her clothes and leather jackets when she wore the full set of armor.
Today she was just in her road leathers, the jacket gone and revealing the pink tank top underneath. Her bright purple pistol was sitting in her thigh holster, the black leather wrapped tight around her muscular thigh in a way that made Gage stare.
Lilly had arrived in Nuka World as a strong woman, her muscles defined. But after the nonstop work and fighting of getting the park truly up and running she became even more fit and defined. Some of the softness she came with was long gone, like the extra squish around her stomach and hips. But she never lost it in her thighs.
Her eyelids were painted a bright pink, matching her tank top and hair. When she arrived her makeup was dark, her eyes shadowed. Now she did detailed lines and patterns with her eyeliner and her eye shadow was always colorful.
When she had first arrived her hair was a deep auburn red, her natural color. But now her hair was always dyed some sort of bright color. Mostly pinks or purples, but she changed it up every so often. Today it was pink.
She was just as noticeable as some of the pack members, her colors and hair standing out. Gage loved it. At first it made him nervous for her to be so bright, Gage thinking it made her an easier target. But as time went on he grew to love it more and more, her colorfulness becoming something Gage found endearing. He even enjoyed it when Lilly asked for his help with dyeing her hair or to pick out colors.
Gage found it silly that Lilly maintained some of her prewar habits, but he wouldn’t deny that he loved helping her. He’d always say yes and help her pick out a new color for her nails or guns, even helping her paint them.
Gage loved her so much it hurt, his heart aching when she gave him that soft smile or a gentle kiss. Whenever he was around her he could hardly control himself, he found himself always wanting to touch and hold her.
Gage pulled Lilly into a gentle embrace, pulling her body flush against his. Lilly’s hands wrapped around his neck as he gripped her hips. “I love you” He spoke gently, the words quiet. Lilly pulled him into a slow mind bending kiss. When she pulled away they were both breathless, “I love you too. So much.” She cupped his cheeks with her hands, her skin not so soft anymore. She was tougher after her few years in the wasteland, her hands calloused on her palms but soft on the backs. She was rough around the edges, but some of that prewar softness was left.
A goofy smile began to form on her pretty freckled face as she looked at him. Gage felt like a joke or something stupid was going to come out of her mouth, and he was right. “Baby, you gotta quit raidin’ my heart.” She giggled as she spoke, Gage rolling his eyes. “You’re insufferable.” Lilly just shrugged and leaned into his chest, “Yeah I am, but you love it.” Gage just scoffed as a smile cracked on his face. “Yeah I do.”
He pulled her into a deep kiss, Lilly melting into his arms as Gage held her tight.
In the background the radio played softly, the voice of Redeye serenading them with Lilly’s favorite song, Baby Quit Radin’ My Heart.
Notes:
Kudos and comments give me life! <3
Chapter 11: Redeye lets the cat out of the bag (NSFW)
Summary:
When Gage and Lilly got together it wasn’t really a secret, but they weren’t obvious about it either. Lilly didn’t care if the people of Nuka World found out. She was the overboss and she could do whatever, and whoever she wanted. No one really cared, or noticed, until the news reached Redeye.
Notes:
Just some more porn from their early relationship!

Chapter Text
Lilly was sitting on a couch in Fizztop’s patio, trying her best to patch a pair of jeans that she had ripped the knee out of. She had done it while trying to climb a rusty fence of a rotting old world factory that she just had to see the inside of. She’ll never live it down, Gage of course finding her embarrassment and hangup hilarious. He had laughed his ass off as she dangled from the fence from one leg, Gage’s laughter not ceasing until he got her onto the ground. It only stopped when he checked her knee for cuts, a small grin on his face as she complained about the jeans.
Gage was making it difficult to patch the jeans, he kept distracting her with words and touches. Lilly was giggling as the raider leaned over the back of the couch so he could kiss her neck and whisper in her ear. Raider radio was playing in the distance, a song fading out quietly.
Lilly had given up on sewing and turned to catch Gage’s lips in a deep kiss. They had tuned out Redeye, who was now telling the latest news of the park. Gage was about to climb over the couch and onto Lilly when Redeye’s words suddenly caught them off guard.
“Have you guys heard this yet? Or seen it? Huh?!” He yelled into the microphone, the radio’s volume straining as he shouted. “What the fuck am I talking about, you ask? Well I am talking about the newest budding relationship in Nuka World dumbasses! The Overboss and her dog! And no not the fuzzy one with four legs. I’m talking about Porter Gage!” He yelled into the radio, his voice cracking he yelled so loudly, “Yep! That’s right Nuka World! The overboss and Gage are fucking!”
Lilly immediately began to laugh, her laughter true and coming deeply from her gut. Gage began to laugh with her, sitting beside her on the couch. He moved to kiss her but they both froze at Redeye’s next words. “I bet you’re wondering how I know this huh? Well first off, it was pretty fucking obvious. I mean c’mon! Do you see how they look at each other? I mean Gage eye fucks this woman all day long.” Redeye shouted, his words causing Lilly to laugh harder than before, her hand on her stomach as tears were brought to her eyes. Gage couldn’t help but chuckle, her laughter contagious.
“No but apparently.” Redeye spoke cooly, finally no longer shouting, “Hawkeye; You know that little nerd who chills out on the tops of rooftops and in towers to watch for enemies and shit? The sniper guy that wears the ugly hats? Yeah that guy.” He chuckled at his own words, “Well while he was doing watch one night he used his binoculars to look up to the top of ol’ Fizztop and saw something nobody ever wants to see! A naked Porter Gage!” Redeye was back to yelling, his voice causing Gage’s laughter to fade, but it only made Lilly laugh some more.
“I always knew he was a little pervert. Watching in windows and in alleyways when he should be watching the perimeter. I should go kick his ass.” Gage grumbled about Hawkeye, Lilly rolled her eyes before she pressed a kiss to his cheek. “No. Leave it.” Gage quirked an eyebrow at her, but didn’t question her.
Lilly ran her fingers gently through his mohawk, the hair a bit longer than when she had first arrived. Gage was letting it grow out, and Lilly loved it. She continued to run her fingers through his hair, her nails scratching his scalp and causing Gage to lean into her touch with a groan.
“Guess everybody knows now.” Gage spoke, brushing his lips against hers. Lilly just grinned at him, worrying her painted bottom lip between her teeth.
He leaned to kiss her, Lilly smiling into the quick kiss. She pulled away first, shifting so she was nearly in his lap, her lips pressing against the shell of his ear. “Guess that means you can fuck me in public now, we got nothing to hide.” She smirked, Gage groaning at her words and pulling her into a burning kiss.
“You are just something special aren’t ya?” Gage’s voice was gruff, his hands surprisingly gentle as he ran them along her hips and thighs. He pulled Lilly onto his lap, hesitating before he kissed her again, his eyes flicking to the many massive windows of the fizztop grille.
“You…. You uh want to take this inside?” He spoke, his eyes still focused on the windows. Lilly let out a little snort and got comfortable on his lap, grinding herself against his hardening cock. “Nah.” She shrugged, Gage nodding before kissing her again. The kiss was longer and hotter this time, their lips melding together.
Gage leaned back onto the couch, their lips not separating as Lilly pressed against him. The kiss was needy, their tongues clashing as Lilly grinded herself against him.
Gage’s hands held her hips in a bruising grip, his fingers flexing and twitching as they kissed. One of his hands moved down to grab a handful of her ass, pulling a moan from Lilly. He pulled his hand back and slapped her ass, not enough to sting but enough to excite her.
Lilly sat up and she slowly pulled off her Nuka World t-shirt, her breasts bouncing as she moved. Gage watched her, his cock throbbing as Lilly unhooked her bra and let it fall to the floor. Gage’s hands went to her breasts, massaging and pinching as she grinded down against him.
She was just beginning to fight with one of his many belt buckles when Redeye ruined the moment, again. “I hear they do it like fucking bunnies! So if you want a show I'd keep your eye out-”The radio exploded in a small shower of metal and parts, a deafening sound filling the room. Gage threw Lilly’s pistol down onto the floor, the strong, stiff smell of a fired gun filling the room.
“I’m going to kick his fucking ass later.” Gage sneered, busying his hands once again by undoing the holster that’s strapped to Lilly’s thigh. Once it was off he began to remove her jeans.
“You’re going to have to fix that you know” Lilly teased, her fingers running down Gage’s strong chest. She playfully dragged her nails across one of his nipples, Gage growling at her. “Yeah and I’m also going to have to mop up Redeye’s blood after I beat his skull in. But that ain’t my worry right now. Fucking you is.” His accent was thick and dark with lust, making Lilly eager and wet.
Gage could talk about anything and make it sound sexy, even killing. It drove Lilly wild, his voice sending shocks down her spine with each gruffly drawled out word.
She tugged at his shirt until he got the hint and lifted his arms so she could pull it over his head, tossing it to a corner of the room. She got to work on his belt buckles, cursing after she got the first undone. “Your outfits frustrate me.” Lilly spoke with disdain, Gage laughing as he reached down to help her free his cock.
He kicked his leather pants off as Lilly did the same with her jeans and underwear. The moment they were both free Lilly grabbed his cock in her fist, stroking her hand down his rigid cock before sliding back and teasing the head, her thumb swiping along the slit to collect the bead of precum and smear it over the head.
He shivered at her touch and was nearly about to beg before she sat herself down onto his cock. She moved slowly, both of them moaning as her hips finally sat flush with his. Lilly didn’t need much time to adjust and when she rocked her hips forward Gage began to thrust up in time with her movements.
Lilly gasped and dug her long painted nails into Gage’s back, the sting only spurring Gage on. His cock filled her perfectly, his member touching her deepest and most sensitive areas. He dragged against her velvety walls with each thrust.
Gage had one hand holding her hip in a ruthless grip, his other hand on one of her breasts, his thumb toying with her nipple. His mouth attacked her other breast, biting and sucking as he fucked up into her.
Gage could feel Lilly getting closer and closer to her peak, her noises becoming more desperate and her nipples peaked and sensitive. Gage moved his hand from her breast to her clit, gently stroking it as he spelled out his name with the pad of his thumb. He kissed her again, pulling her over the edge.
Lilly came hard, moaning into his mouth as her walls spasmed around him. The fluttering of her walls was too much and Gage came soon after her, thrusting his hips weakly as he pumped her full.
Lilly collapsed onto his chest, her face buried into the crook of his neck. They panted as Gage held her close against him, both of them basking in their afterglow. As Lilly caught her breath Gage trailed his fingers along the smoothskin of her back, his fingers tracing her spine and causing Lilly to shiver.
She sat up slowly, pulling his softening cock from her as she stood. Lilly stretched and smiled at Gage, her legs shaking. Gage didn’t move, admiring Lilly from his spot on the couch. “Have I told you how beautiful you are?” Gage purred, his words bringing a warm smile to Lilly’s face.
“Today? Only a couple of times.” She blushed and walked towards the bar, Gage getting up to follow her. When she stopped and grabbed some water he hugged her from behind, his lips gently kissing along her neck. “Well baby, you’re beautiful.”
Lilly leaned against him as she wet a soft cloth, Gage taking it from her so he could clean her up. He walked her back to one of the many couches that littered the patio. Lilly laid back onto the old furniture, Gage crawling between her legs.
He couldn’t resist and kissed her some more, the feeling of her mouth against his filling Gage’s chest with a fire. When he pulled away he began to wipe her slick covered thighs with the rag, his eye focused on their mess dripping from her swollen cunt.
Gage was about to continue when Lilly rolled over onto her stomach and leaned slightly over the edge of the couch. Gage didn’t mind, he loved watching her firm ass as she grabbed the sniper rifle from under the couch.
Gage began kissing along the backs of her thighs, the rag abandoned on the arm of the couch as Gage teased his tongue along her skin. Lilly was focusing on something in the distance with the gun, Gage ignoring it as he kept kissing her skin.
She was focusing on someone in the distance, Hawkeye. He had his binoculars up and pointed right through the patio windows. Lilly got him in her sights and pulled the trigger, the binoculars exploding in the man's hands as he fell backwards from the force.
Gage looked up, “What’d you do? You kill someone?” He questioned calmly. Lilly watched Hawkeye through the scope, humming as he slowly got to his feet, Lilly setting the rifle down. “I just made Hawkeye piss his pants. That should teach him to mind his business.”
She rolled over onto her back, Gage settling back on top of her. “Yeah it should. If it doesn't I'll give him a more personal one.” He spoke, his calloused hands running along her sides. He softly kissed her, Lilly sighing faintly into the kiss.

Chapter 12: Possible First Meeting
Summary:
Lust, I mean love, at first sight
(This just a little thought that wouldn't leave my brain. This is not a set in stone version of how they meet)
Chapter Text
Lilly stared at the dirty raider in front of her, finally getting a real look at the man who was asking her to make a huge decision. He was a big man, standing slightly taller than her. He was armorless, standing before her in just a filthy green tank top and leather pants that drew Lilly’s attention like a moth to a flame. Lilly noticed his muscles before she did his eyepatch, her eyes focused on the way his muscular thighs flexed under the tight leather as he shifted his feet. Lilly tried not to linger her attention on his crotch, her eyes drifting from the bulge in his pants up to his stomach and chest. His tank top was tight, showing off his defined stomach and chest. His arms were huge, the toned muscles flexing and bulging as he crossed his arms over his chest. Finally, her eyes locked with his one. She was a bit surprised by his handsome face, his five o'clock shadow, along with smears of dirt and grease, accenting his sharp jawline and high cheekbones. The one eye she could see was a deep hazel-green, his intelligence shining through. He had a dark bag under his eye, exhaustion lingering behind his tough guy mask. His other eye was hidden under an ugly eyepatch, an old jagged scar peaking out past the edges.
He had clearly lived a typical hard wastelander life. The skin she could see was littered with the mangled lines and splotches of many scars, many of which looked like cigarette burns and bullet holes. A small scar was faded into the sun-kissed skin of his nose, his nose crooked from what looked like multiple old breaks that were set improperly or not at all. His hair was crudely cut into a short mohawk, the hair uneven and clearly self cut. The corner of his eye crinkled slightly with crows feet, deep frown lines set around his mouth and forehead. His mouth was thin and twisted in a frown, the large scar on his chin pulling slightly in the expression. He looked like he could potentially ruin her life, but with the way those leather pants fit she didn’t really care. It was a risk she was more than ready to take.
Porter Gage looked the new potential Overboss over as she stood before him. Her hip was propped out as she leaned her weight on her leg, one hand on her hip and the other holding a cigarette that was slowly burning down to the filter. She was an unusual sight, Gage taking a moment to study her as she did the same. She seemed clean and almost... untouched? She was hardly burnt and tanned by the sun, her skin still smooth and mostly undamaged by the harsh wasteland life. Her hands and arms held a few scars, most seeming relatively new. Almost each of her fingers was adorned with a ring, some holding beautiful stones while others were just simple metal or bone. Her nails were long and sharp, painted a deep blood red, the color matching her lipstick. She was wearing a lot of makeup, her eyes black and smokey, making the green of her irises stand out. She was absolutely gorgeous, her tanned skin littered with freckles. Her dark red hair was loose around her shoulders, the curls bouncing as she swiped them over her shoulder and out of her face. To Gage she looked like one of those old models off the pre-war posters, her features sharp and her lips pouty. Only a few scars littered her body, a fresh one in particular crossing the corner of her lip on the left side of her face, another gnarly one cutting through the eyebrow on the opposite side of her face. She was wearing a lot of jewelry, her ears full of all sorts of piercings. A couple of chains hung around her neck, one was a locket and the other was a simple chain. She was wearing road leathers, the leather pants causing Gage to stare at her muscular legs. She was wearing a big pair of combat boots, the leathers tucked in. Two belts circled her waist, one holding multiple kinds of bullets. The other belt seemed to be purely decorative, the pants fitting her body like a glove. The belt was black with small metal skull buckle. Her top was an old flannel with the sleeves ripped off. The top came up short and stopped at her belly button, leaving a sliver of smooth pale skin exposed. The leather biker vest was unzipped and almost pushed off her shoulders, showing the unbuttoned flannel that revealed a white tank top, her large breasts practically spilling out of the small top. She didn't wear any chest armor, just a set of leather plates that covered her shins, knees, and outer thighs. She also wore one wrist guard made of old metal, the other wrist sporting a broken Pipboy. All of her clothes looked a little faded and worn-out, her makeup messy and slightly running down her cheeks. Her red hair was faded, the frown on her face and fire in her eyes speaking to Gage. She just looked like a woman who was in a desperate need of a change in life. And he was ready to help her make that change.
Porter Gage couldn't ignore the metaphorical elephant in the room anymore, his eyes darting from her breasts to the massive dog at her side. "This is Dogmeat. He's a sweetheart I promise" She rubbed the brown and black dog between his massive pointed ears, the dog staring at Gage with his large brown eyes. Porter Gage had never been a big fan of dogs, especially ones as large as this one. Dogmeat yawned, opening his maw full of sharp teeth and practically showing them off to Gage. Porter really did not want to be on the biting end of those teeth. Despite the threatening nature of the dog, Lilly had him in a Jangles The Moon Monkey bandana. The soft blue covered in the cartoon monkey sitting on a rocket. Gage held his hand out to the mutt, the dog sniffing him eagerly. Lilly's hand didn't leave the thick black collar that was around the dogs neck under the bandana. She was gently talking to the dog, somehow calming Dogmeat and Gage. "He's a friend, better get used to him." Lilly spoke to Dogmeat like he understood, Gage rolling his eyes. Then the dog licked him, wagging his tail at Gage like he was waiting for some sort of attention. Gage gave the large dog a stiff headpat, Lilly smiling at the pair. "Oh this is going to work out well."

Chapter Text
It had been two weeks and three days since Gage had last seen Lilly, and he was more than anxious for her return. He and Lilly had left on a bit of a rough note, all because Gage didn’t want Lilly to go out on her own.
She had been preparing for this little trip to the Commonwealth for a while now, explaining carefully that he couldn’t come, it was something that she had to handle alone. He had gotten agitated at being told to stay behind. He and Lilly had hardly been separated since she became overboss about ten months ago. She could handle herself well, but his nerves still spiked at the thought of her out there alone. They had argued about it, Lilly trying to convince Gage by telling him that Dogmeat would keep her safe. Her attempt at calming his nerves only made Gage more irate. Gage knew Dogmeat was a protective and vicious companion, but he wasn’t invincible.
But she won anyway. Gage was left standing at the gate of Nukaworld, fuming as he watched Lilly ride off into the wasteland on her favorite horse, that dog of hers hot on their heels. Gage’s lips still tingled from her goodbye kiss, the taste of her lipstick sweet on his lips. His heart strained as he watched her, the sun just barely peeking over the Appalchian mountains. Then she was gone, slipping into the darkness of the shadows. Porter heaved a sigh before making his way back to Fizztop.
Now Porter Gage sat inside the old Fizztop Grille restaurant that he and Lilly had turned into a nice home. They had dragged out most of the tables and chairs, only leaving a few alongside the work benches. Their bed was up on a small platform, right next to an armor workbench and power armor station that was holding the Nuka T-51 power armor. It was purely for decoration and for holding Lilly’s magnet collection, Lilly and Gage both not fans of the clunky suit. Power armor always made Gage sweat and feel claustrophobic, and Lilly hated it because her agility in the suit was awful.
The old restaurant had really become a home, even the mutt had his own corner with a soft fluffy bed and plenty of chew toys. Lilly had decorated the walls with everything from old paintings to animal skulls, a few even human. They had removed all of Colter’s “decorations” and cleaned up the place real nice.
They had more storage than they knew what to do with, trunks, boxes, and dressers full of items scattered around the room. Most boxes were full of scrap or junk waiting to become scrap. Gage and Lilly went through a lot of scrap, using it to constantly repair their armor and weapons.
Soft colorful rugs scattered the room. Lilly had learned pretty quickly that the floor got freezing cold in the wintertime, and that the rugs saved them from cold feet on chilly mornings. Gage thought they looked silly and frilly, but he wouldn’t dare complain to his peculiar pre-war love. A massive quilt that Lilly had made herself covered the large bed. They even had comfy pillows. Lilly really enjoyed creature comforts like softness when she could have it, not that Gage was complaining about the soft blankets or running water. He hadn’t lived this well in his whole life, and he had a beautiful woman to share it with.
The old kitchen had been cleaned up and was a kitchen again, the fridge laying face down in the middle of the floor with the back panel ripped off. Getting the old fridge to work, along with some other appliances was on Gage’s extremely long list of shit to fix.
Gage sat at one of his work benches, his attention entirely focused on the baseball bat in front of him. He was trying to turn one of Lilly’s many colorful “killing bats” into a spiked rocket bat. Getting the nails in had been the easy part, the rocket mechanism giving Gage a little trouble.
The radio was playing loudly, redeye rambling about who gives a fuck. Gage just had it on for the noise, the sound and tinkering keeping him busy and from stressing over Lilly. Redeye was loud, but not loud enough for Gage to not hear the patio door open quietly and shut softly. Gage pretended like he didn’t hear a thing, waiting for the footsteps to get closer. He dropped his hands from his tools to under the table, his hand finding one of the half dozen guns that were duct taped to the underside of the table.
Suddenly a familiar wet nose nudged at his hand, Gage looking down to see a very happy Dogmeat. He let out a sigh of relief and removed his hand from the gun, patting Dogmeat on the head. The mutt was wagging his tail so hard his body wiggled, Lucy giggling from behind Gage at the dog. “Someone missed you.” She cooed, laughing as the dog picked up his front feet repeatedly in excitement, looking like he was doing a little dance.
Gage rubbed the dog behind his ears before he stood up and turned to look at Lilly. “You made it back!” He spoke, his eyes roving over her fit form to see she looked a little worse for wear. She looked exhausted, her bright pink hair and freckled skin filthy with the dirt and grime of the wasteland. Her dark eye makeup was smeared and running down her face, her red lipstick long gone. The bags under her eyes were large, exhaustion pulling at Lilly’s sore muscles, causing her perfect posture to falter as she slouched her shoulders under the heavy weight of tiredness. The bounty hunter duster and road leathers she wore were a bit tattered, but otherwise she seemed to be in one piece.
“I told you he’d protect me.” She grinned, approaching Gage with open arms. “Yeah yeah yeah.” Gage grumbled, giving the dog one last pat before pulling Lilly into a tight hug. Her exhausted body relaxed against his warmth, his large chest a great pillow for her head. He rested his chin atop her head, his hands gently rubbing her back. He breathed her in, that sweet smell of her usual perfumes and scents slightly masked by the smell of the wasteland. She reeked like radiation and sweat, that metal smell lingering on her clothes
They just stood there for a moment, holding one another. All of the stress disappeared from Gage now that she was back in his arms. Sometimes he’d get into his head about her; sometimes he felt that she was way too good for him and that one day she’d get the sense to leave him. But here she was, back in his arms.
When she looked up, Gage ran his thumb along her bottom lip, feeling the large cut that swiped down her lip to her chin. When she flinched away he moved his hand to cup her face, “What mess did you get yourself into darlin’?” He frowned. Lilly just shrugged one of her shoulders and leaned into his touch, “Nothing Dogmeat and I couldn’t handle.” The weak smile she gave him said otherwise. Gage rolled his eyes at her, his thumb wiping a smear of dirt from her cheek. He could tell Lilly was exhausted and bruised up, and in desperate need of a bath and a good night's sleep.
Gage pulled her into a soft kiss lingering kiss, pulling away when Lilly tried to take it a step forward. “As much as I’ve missed you baby,” He drawled, grabbing Lilly’s hand, “I can tell you need a rest.” Lilly let out a sigh but nodded in agreement, “Yeah I do. That and a shower. I’m gross.”
He gave her hand a gentle tug, a smirk on his face. “Yeah you are, you stink.” He faked disgust, Lilly huffing and shoving at his shoulder. Lilly rolled her eyes when the solid wall of muscle didn’t budge, “No worse than you.” He mocked her dramatic eye roll and pulled her towards the bathroom. “Then c’mon.”
Lilly let out a bemused huff and followed Gage to their bathroom, allowing him to take care of her.
