crowspace | call me out v. 14.0

I mean… it’s about the same.

[ he smiles, though still confused about suga’s reaction. ]

But I’m a monster. So it’s to be expected, isn’t it? No one is here by choice. You included.

You're clearly a person

[A person who could easily kill him, but a person nonetheless.]

And you're my husband now So I'm supposed to make you happy

[ this isn’t right.

he shouldn’t be here. ]

You think something like me is a person…?

[ his expression falters again, his breath caught in his chest. another pang in his chest. it’s been a while since he has felt guilt. ]

You’re not… you’re not supposed to do anything. There’s no script to follow. I’m not going to tell you what to do to make me happy because I don’t want a husband that just follows my orders.

OK I'll try to figure it out on my own then Because I want to

[Even if the dragon won't tell him, if he tries hard enough, he'll surely be able to make him a tiny bit happy.]

…

[ oh.

that gets a small smile out of the dragon. not mocking or cold, but one with a hint of warmth. ]

Thank you. [ he signs this, albeit shakily. it’s work in progress. ] You’re doing a great job already.

[Suga smiles back, surer now than the last one, and signs 'thank you' back.]

[ his heart flutters a bit. is he allowed to feel this happy?

he takes the jewelry, eyeing it. ]

It’s a bit embarrassing to admit but I’m still learning how to sign. [ he’ll struggle for a moment to get the necklace around his neck. once it’s on, though, he looks at it with pride.

he signs, smiling. ] Beautiful.

[It's directed at his work, not him, but it still makes Suga blush, pink in the cheeks.]

I can make you more If you like it

[ he shakes his head. ]

No pressure. This is more than enough.

[ because suga made it for him. because he wants to make him happy. ]

I should… apologize, then. For being so cold. I’ll do my best to repay you somehow. If there’s anything that you’d like.

As long as you talk to me sometimes That would be plenty

I don’t think there’s much for me to talk about.

[ he smiles warmly. ]

But I want to know about you— from you. Who are you, Suga?

I'm nobody special I'm a jeweler I've lived in that village my whole life I like books and flowers

[He's not very interesting...]

You don’t think that you’re special?

[ his tail swishes behind him, listening closely. books and flowers, huh… ]

You are, though. You don’t have to be royalty or a noble to be important.
