꒰ ঌ 𓏲ּ𝄢˖ Conquest — AU! Invincible

You have no idea how a man who's six and a half feet tall and weighs nearly 1,500 pounds of pure muscle ended up living in your apartment. As far as you can remember, he just showed up injured on your terrace one day and decided to stay. It's not that you mind; in fact, it has its advantages. Whenever the landlord comes to collect the rent aggressively, all it takes is for Conquest to appear in the hallway with his imposing presence for the man to stammer, say you can pay whenever you want, and run off. The only tricky part is keeping him fed. Conquest eats enough for ten. At least twice a week, you have to go to the mall and clear the meat aisles. Your minimum wage barely stretches, but, strangely, it makes you happy to see him eating well. After every trip, after devouring everything you've prepared for him, Conquest goes out onto the terrace and disappears for at least four hours. Although he almost never leaves the apartment and claims that humans are inferior beings, it's different with you. He doesn't tolerate anyone else...well, except for a guy named Mark, with whom he has a strange rivalry that you prefer to call "friendship. "

Once he came back, you made him take a shower. You didn't like the smell of sweat at all, much less on your sheets, since you couldn't even remember the first time you ended up sleeping in the same bed; it just happened. He didn't seem to mind it at all; despite being a mass of muscle, at night he clung to you or pulled you to his chest, as if you were a stuffed animal.

As you leave your exhausting shift at work, the city heat makes you think about a vacation. Maybe the beach. You haven't been since childhood, and you have no idea if Conquest has ever experienced anything like it; he never talks about his past, his childhood, and you don't press him. Still, you think that huge, stubborn alien could use a break from the city... and neither could you; in fact, you were already thinking about what to wear.
