Chasma: Allen

[aono]

That's good. You deserve that kindness.

[He pauses, then he glances away, looking a touch embarrassed.]

I'm really gonna miss spoiling you with food. And I think this week is the best I've slept in a long time.

[lefthandpath]

Surely your other roommates weren't that poor?

[he has to tease to keep lighthearted right now.]

And if all else fails, if the Watchers can listen to your requests, just bully them a little about treating me nicely.

[Allen Walker: man with a conman-esque plan.]

[aono]

They were alright, but I didn't like them like I like you.

[Allen is special! So he gets special treatment.]

[lefthandpath]

[this is how Allen Walker perishes.]

... is that why you asked me that, before? During that game?

[aono]

[Give him a moment, that party game was forever ago.]

Oh.

[A pause.]

I guess? I was just mostly curious, I wasn't trying to be coy or anything there. I just wanted to see you get flustered because it's kinda cute.

[Hilariously unlocking the 'All Demons are Pansexual' demonic part of your soul makes you a little more accepting to these things.]

[lefthandpath]

[guess who is flustered!]

... you really have terrible timing.

Or maybe I just have the worst luck.

[aono]

Nah, I think I have all the bad luck this week. We barely had any time to build a fort together. It just felt wrong, to let you go on thinking that nobody like likes you.

...though uh, if it upsets you, I can stop.

[lefthandpath]

The situation's upsetting, not what you're saying.

... I just don't really understand it.

[why would anyone...? was his thought then, and it's still his thought now, but that would take much too much time to deal with and Rin... doesn't have that time anymore, probably.]

But that's okay.

[aono]

...yeah, it's okay.

[They really don't have time to figure it out. They can just 'be' for a little bit of time.]

You don't have to understand it now. I'm sure you'll get it someday, when you stop putting yourself down so much. You're really special, Allen. People are going to like you. You're not as unpopular as you think you are.

[lefthandpath]

I don't think I'm unpopular. Just that you probably give me too much credit.

... I hate that they don't show the numbers in the votes. Because I know it couldn't have been that much of a lead on you. People like you. Very much.

[aono]

That's not a fair way to look at things. I'm sure most of the people who voted for me did so reluctantly. Liking me has nothing to do with it.

[lefthandpath]

I, most certainly, did not vote for you.

[aono]

I didn't vote for me either.

[Thumbs-up!

...the hand not holding Allen's is giving a thumbs-up. And the hand that is holding Allen's will shift to lace their fingers together.]

[lefthandpath]

[oh nooo. fingers are lacing.]

I should hope not. You already have enough on your plate without additional punishments.

1/2

[aono]

Just a little, yeah.

[Rin's words trail off there though, like he has something on his mind.]

2/2

[aono]

[It's hard to tell exactly when the switch happens. This isn't a fight, so the more demonic half of Rin's soul isn't making a grand entrance. Allen might notice a change in pupil shape though- from 'round with cat-like slits' to 'wavy and tri-tipped'- but otherwise the shift is a silent one.

Up until this Rin abruptly reaches out to grab the front of Allen's shirt to bring him closer to the bars and look at him. Studying him, like he's looking for an answer.]

[lefthandpath]

[Allen, for his pat, merely lets his smile shift to something a less honest, more bitter. this is Rin, but at the same time, not the Rin he's known. so there's a bit more of a guard up, but--]

What is it? There's not much to look at, I'm afraid.

[aono]

[It's hard to know exactly what a demon is thinking. Their thought process is so alien to humans. But something about what Allen says makes the demon grin in away that doesn't seem too dangerous, but still excessively sharp nonetheless.]

Sure. He's actually right for once, you're one of the most interesting people here. You can belong to us.

[He says that like Allen should be honored that he's one of Rin's favorites, like it's a privilege everyone should be vying for.

And he just. Yanks Allen forward and crushes their lips together in a kiss meant less for expressing feelings and more for claiming.]

1/3

[lefthandpath]

[this is the rudest.

the absolute rudest.

and it's only because this is a part of Rin that Allen doesn't do anything immediately about it except let it happen for a moment.]

2/3

[lefthandpath]

[and then he's putting some force into breaking the kiss so he can tilt his head back to headbutt Rin pretty damn forcefully.]

3/3

[lefthandpath]

As charming as your demon half is, Rin, I don't take very kindly to being treated like a possession. So you had better make up for that.

[aono]

[Wow what a headbutt. It's enough of a surprise to get the two Rins to shift again, with the demon dipping to the back of Rin's mind as he laughs hysterically at Allen's reaction. But the laughter can only be heard verbally for a moment or two, because then the more human Rin is back and he's rubbing at his forehead in confusion.]

What- but what just-

[It was too short of a switch for him to even be aware that a switch happened. Though the laughs in the back of his mind are enough to set him in a panic.]

I'm sorryyyyyy! I don't know what he did, but I'm sorry! He's an asshole!

1/2

[lefthandpath]

Rin.

[very patiently, probably a little more amused by this sort of fluster than he should be, really.]

If you're sorry, then take responsibility.

2/2

[lefthandpath]

[hi, it's time for a more appropriate sort of kiss. a lot cuter one.]

[aono]

[He had been about to say he will, but. Kissing is an effective way to solve the problem too.

Wow this is sweet, way sweeter than he thought his first kiss would be. That's all he can think of for that moment there when he closes his eyes and kisses Allen back.]
