call me out v. 14.0

[misheard]

Call out one of the characters from my muselist with a starter, a prompt, a general 'hey can we do something with these characters' comment, a smoke signal, etc., and I'll get back to you with some kind of RP thread!

Old CR, new CR, assumed CR, canonmates, AU, crossover, whatever, it's all good.

[mearry]

Flattery won’t get you anywhere.

[ he’s blushing and his tail is swishing again so maybe it will. ]

[gemuinemanagement]

It's not flattery when it's the truth
You have beautiful eyes

[mearry]

You think so…?

[ he looks up at him curiously, eyes wide ]

[gemuinemanagement]

[Nod nod.]

That's why I picked emerald
To match

[mearry]

[ purrrrr ]

You’re a strange human. You don’t fear me and you find me attractive. Did you fall on your head as a child?

[gemuinemanagement]

No
Maybe being a normal human isn't all that great
If it would mean treating you like a monster

[mearry]

Is that so…

[ he hums. thinking. ]

Well, I’m guessing your lack of voice made you a bit different from a “normal human” too. [ he sighs, smiling wryly. ] So maybe we are not that different.

[gemuinemanagement]

That's true
I haven't been treated as badly as you have
So I don't feel like it's fair for me to complain?

[Even if he was always ostracized and bullied.]

[mearry]

I don’t mind. [ fufufufu ] They let you come here thinking that I’d eat you. Isn’t that bad enough?

[gemuinemanagement]

I'm used to it
Not the sending me to die thing, but
Being treated like I'm worth less than them

[mearry]

[ well that… hurts to hear, actually. he hates knowing this. sympathizing with him. his tail stills. ]

Don’t you hate them?

[gemuinemanagement]

Not really
I'm not very good at hating people
It takes a lot of energy for me and it doesn't feel like it's worth it

[mearry]

Ahaha… you really are a strange one. You really are too kind.

[ he closes his eyes, still smiling. ]

I would never be able to forgive them.

[gemuinemanagement]

That's okay
You don't have to

[They don't really deserve it. He's not forgiving them for their sakes, but for his own.]

[mearry]

…

[ … ]

I won’t. And if I did, they would just find another target for their hatred. Better it’s me than any other creature, human or not.

[gemuinemanagement]

That's not fair to you
But
At least you have one person on your side now

[That's better than before, so maybe he'll be happier than before...?]

1/2

[mearry]

[ oh… ]

[mearry]

[ he smiles softly, nodding. ]

Mhm. Though that may bring you trouble too, my dear.

[ still lying down on his stomach, he wraps his arms around suga’s lower back…kind of like half clinging to him. ]

[gemuinemanagement]

I'll deal with it
Loyalty and devotion, remember

[Pets his hair.]

[mearry]

That’s right. You’re a good bride, Koutarou.

[ and he’ll push himself up just to give suga a kiss on the lips. ]

[gemuinemanagement]

[Kisses are returned! As he blushes]

I'm doing my best

[mearry]

You're doing amazing. You don't have to worry about a thing.

[ another kiss! and another! and, for good measure, another kiss! ]

[gemuinemanagement]

[Each of those kisses gets a kiss in return!]

You're so sweet

surprise 2/2 timeskip

[gemuinemanagement]

[About a month passes.

Things are good, so much better than before. Suga works on the garden while happily chatting with his husband. He plants roses and lilies, and they're already starting to sprout. They're with each other most of the time.

Sometimes Suga does have to go down to the village to get food, though. It's always a bit awkward: everyone there is surprised to see him and doesn't really want to talk. But that's not too different than before.

It is an ordinary afternoon. Suga is on a chair in the foyer reading a book when an insistent knock comes at the castle's front door.]

Do you get visitors?

[mearry]

[ the dragon hears the visitor before the knocking begins. he had hoped that it would just be a random traveler, that they would leave this place after a curious glance or two.

the knocking puts him on high alert. ]

No, I don’t.

[ his eyes are narrowed, his pupils thin slits. ]

Stay here. I’ll take care of it.
